Talking tour of Tracy’s late spring garden // Full Garden Tour with Plant Names - Early June 2021

[@puddytat30141]

People can be so picky……if you are kind enough to show your garden they should appreciate your sharing instead of criticizing. I thank you for your time and efforts.

[@TracysHomeGarden]

Thank you Sandra 🪴🙏💚

[@lakeishasmith3569]

I like you pointing things out baby. Please continue to show us your beautiful oasis!!

[@TracysHomeGarden]

You are super sweet Lakeisha! :-)

[@GinaCriv]

Oh my goodness...I love you pointing things out, never bothered me at all. Shows how different we all are. Happy gardening, Tracy.

[@TracysHomeGarden]

I think a little point here and there may be okay? 😁. Too many fingers in the frame - does look a little distracting? You are just too sweet Gina! Thank you Gina! 💚🙏🪴

[@nolagirl7082]

Me too! How are you supposed to know which plant she’s talking about if she doesn’t point?!

[@donnawalters1661]

Just look at all those buds on your roses and clematis! I really like the hosta your Mom got you, so pretty and unusual.

[@TracysHomeGarden]

Thank you Donna! My mom also loves plants with foliage - she has eyes for beautiful hostas too! It’s too bad that the hosta is so slow growing - otherwise I could split and put them in containers. 💚🙏🪴

[@bhinsch25]

Please point. Love it. Your garden is beautiful.

[@evergreengarden1M]

Hii Your garden is wonderful Enjoyed to see all plants Thanks for sharing Dear friend

[@MarigoldsintheGarden]

Your video was ever so easy to watch. YOU WENT SLOWLY OVER EACH GARDEN BED AND YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO GET GROWING IN MY WET AND HUMID SUBTROPICAL GARDEN IN QLD, AUSTRALIA. We can actually grow many of the plants that you grow due to our more delicate climate. The weather can drop as low as -4 C in our winters but that is very rare. It is usually between 8 to 2C and the days, if sunny, can be as high as 20C Our summer highs rarely go over 30-33C. We do get many cold winter winds, and often get severe storms in the summer but our plants seem to thrive! Your beautiful garden has given many ideas about new plants to plant this winter

[@TracysHomeGarden]

Thank you Julia! Your climate sounds ideal! Our spring-summer-autumn seasons are perfect except our winters can be quite cold and harsh…I don’t mind the snow but not the severe cold temps -25C and sometimes as low as -40C (with cold wind chills). Thank you again for your thoughtful comment. It means a lot knowing that I share gardening love and interests with many gardeners around the world. Happy gardening 💚💚💚

[@maitran3952]

Your garden is stunning! I love everything about it! Can’t wait to see the roses in full bloom.

[@sammymug29]

That crimson Japanese maple is gorgeous. You’re lucky they can take full sun in your cooler Northern climate. It gives it such a vibrant color. Here in the South they like some afternoon shade

[@TracysHomeGarden]

The first year - I had some scorched leaf damage and very little growth while the plant was trying to get established into it new home…the following year it started growing a little bit. This year is its 4th year and it’s the best year yet! It has leafed out beautifully! You are correct about our northern climate where the sun rays are not as intense - it can take full sun all day long in our south facing garden. The foliage is a little darker now but I think best vibrant foliage colour was in early spring. Thank you for watching Sammy! 💚🪴🙏

[@kittyvine823]

A miss-mash of plants doesn't make a garden beautiful, it's with maturity that color and lines show true character. As she grows, she will become true to herself..... time. Nice choices in plants and stones and thank you for tending.

Your front yard garden has changed a lot over the years

[@TracysHomeGarden]

I think gardening & plants take some time to fill in. Often people want instant gratification and buy large plants. However, I tend to like small plants and watch them grow and fill out (mature) in my garden….it’s very satisfying to be apart of the process…very rewarding on a personal level for me.

[@TracysHomeGarden]

Autumn Joy sedum blooming in June?! That is strange indeed…..they start blooming for us around August! Hm…hardy hibiscus are just coming out of dormancy so they don’t usually bloom until much later.

When you're looking at a video that's moving along, and you're seeing several different things while you're talking, how in the world can you NOT point at things?? hahaha!! Oh, well. These are probably the same people who complain about other YT gardeners who mispronounce French names of things...sigh...I think everything you do is just wonderful! And I hope you don't change one single thing.

I do believe we all have personal views on our likes and dislikes and it’s okay to say so as long as we are respectful to each other. As a KZbinr or any public figure, I feel that we need to provide choices and options - something for everyone because our job does depend on our viewers and I cannot survive as a KZbinr if viewers don’t watch. It’s my honest opinion. Happy gardening! Ps. I’m so glad you like my choices of plants and enjoy our garden.

Hello. I created a 2nd driveway in front yard and added a garden bed to it. I was planning on an all xeriscape garden. Looking at your front garden makes me yearn for exactly what you have. I happen to live in kamloops BC. Very hot and dry in summer. Zone 5b/6. No such thing as shade or coolness here. Lol. Your front garden is in full sun? That's amazing. Are your hydrangeas able to take the full sun there ok? We get between 35 to 40 degrees during our heat waves.

[@TracysHomeGarden]

Hi Andrea, Our front garden is south facing so all the panicle hydrangeas get full sun but I do deep water them during our summer but we rarely get 35-40 C so that may be why they can be in full sun.

Such a lush healthy garden. Can you use soluble fertilizer on perennial plants? Or is it strictly for annuals?

[@TracysHomeGarden]

In my opinion, soluble fertilizers are not needed for perennials as most of them are not constantly using the nutrients forming blooms…they do need a “slow release food” to slowly take up and form their blooms - which is predetermined by the numbers of days or amount of sunlight they get. I have a penstemon that got some excess soluble fertilizer - it has huge foliage because of the extra “food” it gets from the hanging basket dripping down….but it’s blooms size is a lot smaller than the other penstemon plants that don’t get any fertilizers. I think perennials like coleus (foliage type)…you can feed a much diluted fertilizer to get them to “grow” larger and bigger (faster also)….but flowering perennials don’t really need them. Hope that helps Maria. 💚🪴🙏

[@babroos]

Hello Tracy, new subscriber here. I’m gardening in Zone 5b (Chicago suburbs). You have such a beautiful lush garden - I’m mesmerized😍 I am slowly working my way through your wonderful videos, and apologies if you mention this elsewhere, but I was wondering how many years you’ve been gardening on this particular property. I’m in year 3 of a new construction home and am gradually building up my garden. Also, a specific question regarding your Banana Cream Daisies - are yours in full sun, and did they come back after winter, or are they new plants? The reviews on PW website regarding hardiness are very mixed, but yours look so beautiful so I am so tempted to rush to my Lowe’s first thing tomorrow and get one😁

[@TracysHomeGarden]

Hi Anita, Thank you so much for your beautiful comment! 🥰 We have been at this new property since summer of 2016. The banana cream daisies are in full sun (south facing garden)…and they came back without any special winter treatment from me. I planted one 1-gal size container 2 years ago. One year after it tripled in size. Last spring I divided that 1 plant into 5 pieces and planted them as a drift as seen on the video here. If you look back at last year’s video - you’ll see that some clumps were much smaller than others. I’m happy to say that all of them - except for the one just to the left of the Quick Fire hydrangea tree (which is shaded by the canopy of the hydrangea tree) have more than double (maybe triple?) in size. I think our winter in Toronto maybe quite similar to Chicago (if not colder) and so I think the Banana Cream daisies should do well…except that it needs full sun to do well. They will be blooming very soon so I will definitely be giving an update soon. Happy gardening Anita! 🙏💚🪴

[@babroos]

@@TracysHomeGarden Thank you so much for the speedy and detailed reply! It’s very much appreciated. Guess who’s going to Lowe’s tomorrow for those daisies😁 There were lots when I went on Monday…so hopefully they still have some left. Mine will go in the south facing front yard, so with any luck they’ll do well. For 2 years we had some shrubs in front I didn’t really love, so this year I replaced some of them with Invincibelles, roses and several flowering perennials. Your flower beds are my goals💕 My parents lived in Toronto (Mississauga) back in the late ‘90s, so I visited a few times. Definitely similar weather - we also get the Japanese beetle infestation around the same time😩 Looking forward to more videos, and thank you once again! Have a great evening🪴🌹✨

Tracy your. garden is so well maintained please let me what you feed your hydrangea they are so healthy ,I bought 2 little lime at Lowe’s they are in large pots one is doing well the other not so well leaves little yellow, I hate to loose it as they are so expensive please help I am 77 years soihave to garden in pots ,

[@TracysHomeGarden]

Hi Juanita, I don’t feed the hydrangeas in the ground - I feed them with used coffee ground - 1 cup in the spring and another in the fall. If the hydrangea is in pot, you need to mix in some bark compost and throw in a handful of Rose tone or Holly tone. The dried yellowing of leaves may be because it is getting too much sun. You may have to move it to a shadier area until it recuperates…and slowly re-introduce it to the sun after that. Sometimes when the plant has a young root system it is not very efficient at moving water to the canopy. Hope the Little Lime will get better Juanita! 💚🙏🪴

[@Salmiyaguy1]

Toronto is zone 6 by Canadian standards and 5 by USDA. I have plants and shrubs survive that are USDA zone 7, when I plant in Toronto.

The key is not to give salvias any fertilizers…like sedums, salvias do better in poor soil. Another reason may be you have to divide them every 3 years or so. All the best.

For spring blooms and small size, I like the Deutzia Cherry blossom or azalea or rhododendron or some smaller size of weigela like My Monet (love it’s pink foliage); larger spring bloom shrubs I like reblooming Boomerang dwarf lilacs and weigelas like Sonic Bloom varieties that are reblooming; of course for summer blooms that last till winter - any panicle hydrangea will be beautiful; and evergreens like arborvitaes, Inkberry Gem Box, dwarf spruce and boxwoods…too many to look for so I definitely recommend reading the link above for some ideas then visit your nursery to find out if they have the plants you like in person before deciding. Hope that helps. 🙏💚🪴

3 ft tall and wide - Dwarf Boomerang Lilac (comes in pink, purple or dark purple) - they are hardy, has a beautiful scent, blooms twice in spring and late summer - stays within 3-4 ft tall and wide 💚🪴💚

@@TracysHomeGarden are the weigelas leggy? Or are they upright round shrubs?

[@TracysHomeGarden]

The smaller variety like My Monet - stays within 2 ft and upright. The Sonic Bloom varieties are taller and the branches are a little weeping.

Try planting 4 O'clocks. Your Japanese Beetles will go for them because they are drawn by the fragrance. 4 O'clocks are an annual and toxic to the beetles.

I will find and plant them in containers to try it out. Thank you so much Karen! Last year I lost my 2nd flush of roses because of the beetles. 💚🙏🪴

@@TracysHomeGarden I think you will like them. They open in the evening, thus the name 4 O'clocks, and have a lovely fragrance.
