Alliums are amazing 🌿 Let's plant more of them!

[@martystevens2313]

Not fair, you have a body double helping you😂

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Goes so much faster with a little help. 😉

[@douellette7960]

Erin's twin sister she hasn't told us about!

[@elmariedstra5631]

Oh I just love alliums!! I will need to remember the ones you love for next year!! Have you seen the muscari fantasy creations?? They are amazing!!! We got our first major snow today so no more bulb planting for me!!❤

[@ritagarretson7278]

The inside view of the garden is smart. You can think about what else to add.

[@terrivance8750]

😆😆😆

[@Concert-girl]

Every video should end with this adorable pup segment. ❤

[@cherylj7460]

I will never forget the alliums I saw in a Long Island garden! The Drumstick alliums were about 4’ tall, a huge round head that when pulled back and released, hit the head next to it and caused a chain reaction of them bonging into each other!

[@thefumblingcuisiniere]

Erin, he is just the most adorable little terror in the garden. 🤣🐾❤️ And the eating your hair at the end!

[@JanetHouck-h5h]

Puppy, puppy, you're so great even when her hair you ate.

[@shannonshunk8897]

I look forward to the spring bulb tour. Thank you for bringing us along. ❤

[@ccassity4227]

That sweet, gorgeous pup… he stole the show Erin❤. Can’t wait to see the bulb show!

[@sandraeriksen9818]

I love the side handle on my drill when using the auger -and they’re cheap under $20 👍🏼

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@sandraeriksen9818 I have one and never use it with the small auger, mostly because I’m lazy.

[@carolynvenema2264]

Loved the end! Allium are definitely a fav. For me too.

[@Talula72]

Your soil looks like a dream! We have SO many rocks (and a lot of sand) it makes bulb planting such a chore!

[@teresab6502]

I'm a huge dog lover. I have 3 labs and one golden retriever. Looks like your pup has quite the personality!! I love that you ended the video with him. He's growing up so fast!!

[@debs-more-plants]

Oh my gosh! Magnus is so cute!

[@laurieanne9712]

Dog eyes--do they not get you everytime?? Loved all of this!! I just got a gift card for my birthday--I'm off!🤣🤣

Aliums are the FIRST ones I buy. I 💜 them, just can NEVER have enough of them. Beautiful 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

[@cindybohl9593]

Looking forward to the bulb show in the spring! I have tons of bulbs planted in my yard. Mostly daffodils… need to plant more alliums.😁

[@kathleenmccarthy8418]

Looking good, Erin! 😍

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Erin☕️All of the bulbs I planted this Fall were Alliums from Breck’s. Alpine Rose Bells, Sicilian Honey Lily, Eye Cany Allium Mixture, Rosy Dream Allium, Graceful Beauty Allium and the 2 Months of Allium Mixture. I mixed them all together and cannot wait for Spring! The Cristophii is on my list! BTW, you look fantastic! You look so slimmed down! Not that I thought you were chubby or anything, you just look so good! I can see it in your face. Have a Blessed Day 😊

[@cherylj7460]

I would so love to see how this looks come spring! Sounds great!

[@sangelkarshraddha]

Your puppy is so cute!!! Our puppy is in a similar stage. He helps me "weeding" (aka. Pulling plants out at random) 😂

[@bonniejackson7476]

You are right about planting bulbs. It’s a chore when planting but so worth it in spring. Thanks Erin

[@EmilysGarden902]

I just finished mine as well! 103 allium bulbs 😅 New garden this year so starting over from scratch.

[@JennJenn9]

I’ve got ~20 small daffodil bulbs left over that I was just going ‘let go’ but you’ve inspired me to just get them in the ground! Love the puppy antics at the end 😂

[@kathystarnes6744]

You look like you have lost weight? You look fabulous girl! Love your content 💚

[@TheLARAS-gh4bp]

Thank you for sharing your funny thoughts ❤ and those of your precious pup too

[@JRP58]

OMG your puppy is adorable! I planted my first Alliums last year and promptly ordered more. I can’t wait to see their display next year.

[@stacygibson9759]

He's so stinking cute!

[@SunnyBlueSkyDay]

Summer Snowflakes Leucojum They bloom after snowdrops are 12-15" tall have a white cup(bigger than a lily of the valley) with delicate spring green dots on the petal tips. Leaves are thin and strappy...naturalize beautifully🌱

[@SunnyBlueSkyDay]

I have planted alliums for decades and they are the musical notes in my gardens! I just love them. You are right about Schubertti- no rhyme or reason why one year they do bot come back and then a few yrs in a row they do 😜🤪

[@msv3402]

The alliums and the bulbs on the mound are going to be beautiful come spring. You’re looking fabulous by the way.😊

[@belindam3797]

Oh Magnus/Darwin! What a cutie 😊 And such a great helper in the garden!! 😂

[@TheBking01]

Great job Erin, I love alliums and snow drops. Your dog is so adorable 😊 I do have bulbs to plant,so thanks for this video.

[@saraholson790]

love putting in more alliums..great use of bulbs...thanks for the video

[@nothingpersonal878]

I moved this fall and moved my Allium bulbs with me. No way was I leaving 500 of those behind.

[@EmilysGarden902]

Amazing! I was debating digging some of mine up when I moved in August, but I ran out of time lol. I did grab 20 or so perennial divisions, all my annual containers intact, and of course I went shopping for end of season sales

[@nothingpersonal878]

@ Nice! I packed up everything and reserved the last two weeks to transplanting. Luckily I had possession of both places during that time. That sure helped a lot. But I would have went back by the light of the moon and a spade if I had to 😂.

[@EmilysGarden902]

@@nothingpersonal878 I had a same day move so it was a little trickier! And hahaha I've been tempted too go back a time or two! We say "under the cover of darkness" in our family 🤣

[@klk12399]

Adorable ending!

[@patternandcraft]

I love alliums! I do prefer the perennial type but the bulb types are really fun too

It will be a beautiful display. Bulbs give us so much to look forward to. I'm sure there are reporting's of a bear sighting on the Lake Michigan beaches as you walk your cute puppy :)

Bulbs forever!

[@glgardener4972]

I am still planting bulbs also....alliums and tulips. I planted tulips the first week of Dec last year and they came up very well....I also live in the Great Lakes. We got light snow today. I love alliumns and enjoyed your comments.

[@dixiehedrick]

magnus is so beautiful , those eyes

[@wendywelsh2737]

Love alliums! I have globemaster, Christophii and just planted drumstick this year. I have one other which really naturalized but name escapes me small and purple. It is a great feeling when bulb planting is done. Not as good as when you buy them all but better than the feeling when they all arrive and you realize you have to plant them all. The pup is so adorable! Hope you had a lovelyThanksgiving!

[@cindijohnson7282]

The puppy is so adorable! Thank you for sharing him with us!

[@greatlakescanary3237]

I have hundreds of bulbs waiting to be planted. I just ordered that same drill and the Laura auger before watching this. I now feel inspired to go out in the freezing cold and do it.

[@kaystinebrink1220]

Love Laura's auger. The long length saves my back each year. My only problem is hard clay soil. One must be very careful you don't break a wrist if the auger gets stuck.

[@ireneNL9349]

My clay soil is like chocolate mousse in Nov/Dec. No sooner has the auger made the hole than it collapses into a mushy mess! 😂

[@rbrown2746]

Alliums are great!

[@laurenwellman2516]

Magnus is so adorable 🥰 ❤

[@CA-rx9ze]

I divided my allium millennium this fall and went crazy planting them in almost every bed I have. I also saw on another channel The Perennial Garden you can grow them from seed so I am going to try that as well.

[@kathleenpalmer845]

Really liked the video and LOVED LOVED Magnus!!!!

[@jenw5854]

I planted a lot (for me) allium bulbs this year using my Laura edition auger. An absolute game changer! It was a breeze. I appreciate your auger tips, I haven’t heard anyone give tips on the settings before.

[@monettemichaels8420]

Love your videos. Especially love that big fluff of a dog.

[@crickettjd]

Loved this video!!! Have you ever thought of doing an experiment planting some of your Alliums in pots like you would Amarillas; I think it would be interesting to see what happens!!!

[@melodykaufer5696]

So glad you are planting bulbs, especially Snowdrops and grape hyacinths. Wish they would be invasive in my garden. Spring cannot come soon enough! HAPPY Thanksgiving Erin!😂😂😂😂

[@danielatrifan7374]

Love your puppy! 🐶❤

[@terrivance8750]

Hi, Magnus! 🙋

[@BobbieJeanM]

I am looking forward to seeing all the beautiful blooms come spring, the flower bed will be amazing! 💖 Oh boy, did you get the side eye in the last seconds of this video! 😂

[@betsymaltby6788]

Darwin/Magnus steals the show! On your lead, probably last year, I added Nigrum to my perennial beds this fall along with Ambassador, White Giant & Gladiator. Some of these varieties I already have...but where I saw gaps last year, I marked exactly where I wanted to plant them. After reading The Layered Garden by David Culp a few years ago, I have been adding galanthus to my gardens ever since...the first thing to bloom in my garden...a few even blooming now 😕

[@lauriediekrager8332]

This will be so beautiful next season. I planted alliums in time, but I had to put my hyacinth in pots as my ground froze already in MN zone 4.

[@janettefisher256]

Luv the puppy ❤

[@StargazingDragon]

Wow I didn't realize you had your own on set hair dresser 😂

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@StargazingDragon 🤣

[@emkn1479]

I planted 5 bulbs this year 😂 my last attempt at fritillaria. All the hundreds of bulbs I planted in the past reward me every year. Yes, alliums are incredible and I wouldn’t be without them! I especially love schubertii, nectarscordum, sphaerocephalon, and karataviense (please excuse the likely errors!). Just made a new garden bed and am considering getting in on end-of-season sales to pack it out with bulbs for spring. The plain old muscari can be overbearing, but I like to use the fancier cultivars and they seem to be more tame. I have many windflowers planted and they’re finally starting to establish. You need some cyclamen too! Totally with you on the snowdrops. I adore them. Mine have come from dormant bulbs and they’ve done great. Do you also have snowflakes? Leucojum? They’re AMAZING and so elegant. I can tell just looking at that rake that it’s better. Definitely looks sturdy. But then I also have a preferred mousetrap 😅

[@JLee-pc2vc]

Using a drill with a side handle is a must when digging in Virginia clay with an auger. It will save your wrist and elbow.

[@danakenoyer106]

I agree on tne grand alliums for the garden. Saw the weather forecast for Lake effect snow. wondering if you are buried yet.

[@davidrojas3982]

The end😂

[@roslynholcomb]

I put 25 gladiator alliums in the big bed in front of my house last week. I’ve never planted alliums before so wanted to see how they would do. I was thinking about the schubertii for next year but am intrigued by christophii because of the smaller stature.

[@arnorrian1]

I got a 2" auger for 3 bucks from Temu, drilled a hundred holes with it.

[@dglemmer1]

Erin, where did you buy your allium to get them that size! I appreciate that you mentioned which allium come back for you and which don’t - that helped me understand some of what I thought were fails for me. I have a small auger - definitely isn’t big enough to get a bulb in the ground with your fingers around it! Thanks for showing us what you use and what you would buy if you were buying one today!

[@jennypatterson6660]

I planted that same package!

[@heathertebb645]

Hi, loving the bulb planting prompt. Need to get some alliums in the ground. Magnus/Darwin is growing sooooo fast, but thats what puppies do!! And shoot me down if too personal but you seem to have lost a few pounds. Dont get me wrong it seriously suits you! Hx

[@angela-sanders]

we are in zone 5b but for us at 8,500' in the Colorado Rockies, our ground is covered in snow for rest of winter.

[@Coda1850]

Lol @ ur pup 😂

[@viu0]

Oh my God, I’ve never seen such a big bulb ,where Did you buy these ? I’m planting hundred of ambassador also but they are not this big..

[@TheImpatientGardener]

The Ambassador bulbs were purchased from Colorblends

[@anneduncan5397]

I love watching your videos from the Uk. Please can you tell me what the yellow device is behind you at around 10:21 ? it seems to be moving! The out-takes with the dog, gorgeous! 🤣🥰

[@roslynholcomb]

I love snowdrops so much but it’s i think it’s too warm in my zone 8 garden for them. I’ve planted them several times and they never bloom.

[@fransak2723]

Erin I love alliums too. My problem with some bulbs is that I tend to dig them up when I’m weeding. Do you have a favorite bulb catalog or do you buy local?

[@carlas872]

I need to plant more of the Ambassador alliums. I thought I was done until I found a box of bulbs from John Scheepers. Caesium, Cowanii, Nigrum Pink Jewel and Schubertii Arctic Snow. Ugh, I completely forgot that the purple Schubertii I planted never came back so these will be a one and done. Maybe I'll dig them up and try to store them over the summer. Always worth a try.

[@carlas872]

P.S. Magnus just wants to style your hair differently. He prefers the doggy-do.

[@chrisreynolds4767]

Do you ever plant on top of another plant? I can't keep track in my garden!

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Erin, I loved the alliums I planted last year and will add more next fall. Magnus is so stinking cute; how did he get the alias Dexter (curious minds need to know)? ~Margie🥰🤣

[@sarahbremer1196]

Thank you for the video, Erin! I have some Christophii as well and love them, and would love to have more. I haven't seen them in the places I'm buying bulbs from, and I don't remember where I got them. Where did you get yours from?

[@Linda-t7z5q]

Thanks for all of the information about bulb planting! Is the garden auger pretty easy if you don’t have a lot of upper body strength? Also, I have mostly sand soil. Should I add bulb fertilizer when I plant spring bulbs? Thanks for another great video ❤

[@terrysmallwood1755]

Erin, I am in zone 9. Planted 140 Purple Sensation last January 1; they all came up to a two-inch height... then disappeared. I am perplexed. The package includes my zone. Please share any thoughts with me. PS thank you for your videos!! I have learned so much!!

[@debbyrennock8435]

What temperature was it when planting? We've had snow and I thought it is tooooo cold already. Maybe no?! 😊

[@DragonsGaura]

when i order ambassadors they are never that big, where do you get your bulbs at

[@ltcneedstoplan]

I think Magnus wants his own channel.

[@scallywags12]

There is a nursery in Pennsylvania that specializes in snow drops. So many to choose from. Could be Caroline’s shade garden?

[@lilyw.1788]

Not bulb planting related but do you protect your big leaf hydrangeas if you have any ? Went through 27 degree night last night in zone 5b and was wonder if the buds are already damaged by the frost and if it’s too late to winter protect at this point . Thank you ! Love love alliums . I esp like the white ones in my bed too

[@suekuly4723]

He’s just a Baby 😂😂😂

[@sandram5664]

Does the Allium Leaf Minor affect these? I’ve been wanting to add flowering alliums but here in PA the ALM destroy my leeks if I don’t net them.

[@tammykuhar4420]

Where do you get your Allium bulbs? Christopherii etc

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Longfield Gardens and Colorblends for these two.

[@tammykuhar4420]

Thank you!

[@carriekutchins7188]

I have gophers and moles. They mostly don’t seem to eat flower bulbs but they move them around. Erin, you never mention these pests so I guess you are blessed by their absence?

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Are gophers and woodchucks the same thing? If so, they are around but I think there are easier targets for them so generally not a huge issue for me. As for moles, I keep hearing they are good for eating jumping worms so I wouldn't mind if one showed up. Lots of voles around here as well although I've been lucky so far on those.

[@gloriaruiz2332]

❤

[@patternandcraft]

Most importantly the deer don’t eat them!

[@titosrevenger]

What are the little white flags on your property line? I saw them in a another video and was wondering what those were.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

We have an underground dog fence so the flags are there during the training period. Hoping to get them out of there soon!

[@titosrevenger]

@TheImpatientGardener ah makes total sense. Stay in the yard Darwin!
