I just love how you have a proper commercial break instead of commercials popping up mid-sentence and breaking the flow. I’ll be growing more flowers next year so this video has given me much to think about. Thank you.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I hope it makes the watching experience less jarring. Happy gardening

[@BRM101]

I like this as well I even let them play which I don’t usually do but this channel is worth supporting.

[@rainrabbit9209]

Yes, you are attenive to us out here. Thank you

[@MO-tt3ue]

@@suburbanhomestead it does. You are a true artists and professional. I love when people are conscientious. Thanks for another great video!

[@d.-beck7205]

Same here. Thank you for being so creative and thoughtful. I am very glad I found your channel. ❤

[@holliepopification]

this has inspired me to try mulching in place and just drop my pruned leaves on the spot. looks very useful

[@suburbanhomestead]

It is very practical indeed

[@RainbowSparkelStar]

I'm so glad I found your video's, my partners and I just got our first house and it's a total blank canvas I've been dreaming of turning into a functional garden space but had no idea where to start, I love that you have taken these empty spaces and turned them into something beautiful and more sustainable. Looking forward to more of your video's!!

[@brucewayne-cn4vd]

Some flowers you should really add to your garden; coneflower, shasta daisy, gloriosa daisy, dianthus, yarrow, roses and hibiscus. These are perennials that are absolute worth having and give continuous blooms all summer.

[@onetuliptree]

I love your garden, you have created a beautiful space.

[@amberbeckman5189]

definitely better than any gardening show I've seen on Netflix/TV etc

[@kristinaginorio1344]

Just pure therapy, this video, on a COLD January day. Blessings to you!

[@BSmeansBlueSalad]

Just discovered you as our home is on the bottom of a hill which is the backyard so I’ve been looking for cottage creative ways to beautify the space naturally. Love your content and your finished videos with great examples from your experience Thanks for sharing!

[@JeanLague-kg4fp]

I really love tour kind way to are garden, you are. My inspiration,,! Thank you so much

[@shelleynobleart]

Gorgeous! Your concluding paragraph was so helpful to hear as it describes my novice garden in way that makes me feel validated.

[@BritishWestIndian]

I thought this year’s 20°F snap destroyed the hydrangeas but my mop-heads grew new shoots and has now started to bloom in July

[@JohnWilson-um1ly]

I love your videos! I bought a house surrounded by clay soil and dead grass 20 years ago. Now it is finally getting to where I want it though the neighbors have been coming by and complementing regularly for years

[@mezleona]

Hi Siloe! that stick plant, is an awesome accumulator plant, I use it to do compost tea, just fill a bucket with water and put your sticky weed! it will decompose, you can fertilize with it! Found this info The horticultural benefit of having this weed in your garden is that it indicates fertile soil. Furthermore it is a dynamic accumulator of sodium, silica and calcium - so great to make a liquid feed or soil drench. I am not saying cultivate it, but use it if you have it. If you can’t bear the thought of including a weed in your food, medicine or horticultural practices that’s ok too. As a weed it does outcompete other crops for nutrients, water and sunlight and one of its drawbacks is that it hosts nematodes, insect pests and plant diseases, not least Verticillium; a fungal pathogen that causes vascular wilt of brassica. It is resistant to a number of herbicides but hot water/steam and flame work. The best method is manual extraction before seeds form

[@soniatriana9091]

Always a pleasure to view your garden & listen to your thoughts!! Thank you!!

[@moirarussell1950]

I learn somuch from you!! So great to see the proof as it goes along. I am learning to be leery of people with many opinions and no proof 😂

[@RussellBallestrini]

Thanks for the video, very satisfying to see your finished work at the end!

[@meganm4877]

The 'sticky willy' is also called cleavers, and the best way to control it is by eating it : )

[@Hiyaaydi]

I love your content! You put so much love in it and your songs are added bonus. I don't have a yard though, so I can only do container gardens.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks. And good luck with the containers

[@tatianka30006]

Thank you, Siloe! This was very helpful for me to figure out how to put together the cottage garden look for our new house! :)

[@suburbanhomestead]

Glad you liked it. Good luck on that garden

[@haphazardgardener8651]

Very informative and I've been waiting for this... love the series on the flowers!

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if people would be interested

[@heatherwatson8273]

Another great video Siloe

[@RussellBallestrini]

I wouldn't give up on that hydrangea, I would however consider propagating it to a different spot in your yard to find a warmer micro climate. I have a hydrangea in my front yard facing east, right against my house and it flowers each year. I'm in Connecticut Zone 6b.

[@millietejeiro9819]

Lots of good information. Thank You.

[@10xfarmstead85]

You need a hydrangea that grows on new wood. “Quick fire”is a good one.

[@timsworld9875]

Your videos are the best Siloe...very inspiring...i will be planting more flowers next year for sure...you do so much with so little space...you should be giving seminars...God bless you...

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks, but I’m just a passionate home gardener. I just like sharing my journey

WONDERFUL VIDEO! ~watching from Norfolk, Virginia~

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks

[@rosagapi]

beautiful flowers

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks

[@MEANJEAN2U]

Hello from North Idaho! LOVE your artful gardening videos; the care in which you take for framing the shots (visual content) are much appreciated (and sometimes very clever!) I had noticed your Crepe Myrtle tree in other episodes and was dazzled! I am in zone 6a--- WHAT TYPE OF CREPE MYRTLE ARE YOU ABLE TO GROW in your climate??! Sorry for the screaming caps! :-) The tree does sort of grab your attention in a good way! Thank you so much for all of your fabulously inpirational gardening, cooking, and art videos! Jean

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks. I don’t know the specific variety. We got it almost 15 years ago

[@flowerfairy1950]

I am so jealous of your poppies. I have scattered lots of packets of various poppies with barely one to be seen :(

[@ambersykora352]

Try cold stratification. Throw them in the freezer or die them before the winter sets in. Don't cover them really feel just sort of lightly cover and tamp in. You can also germinate inside in a small 6 cell some covered greenhouse from dollar tree...then transplant

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

Slugs can decimate them

[@bellarosa009]

Beautiful garden!! Do you sell your poppy seeds?

[@cqammaz53]

Are Blck Eye Susan Perennials. I had 3 plants last summer that turn black in the winter. I'm hoping they will come back in spring Was I supposed to cut them down last fall as I did not and they are black?

[@mariacarrasquillo1247]

What type of Myrtle is your tree.like it.

[@joanzarawani7672]

Beautiful! What zone are you in?

[@pharmkid02]

I tried to grow perennial poppy in Chicago area but for some reason it doesn’t grow back like yours. Any idea why? Please help

[@marywilliams1727]

Thank you again for sharing all your valuable knowledge. I really appreciate it being new to zone 4 in Colorado. I have a few Oriental poppies and just moved one of them, being careful to get the tap root but wonder if I need to cut back it’s leaves so it won’t go into shock? Thank you! Mary

[@suburbanhomestead]

It may be a good idea. The best time to transplant in my opinion is in late winter, early spring before they start growing fast.

[@marywilliams1727]

Thank you!

[@marywilliams1727]

Hi Siloe, I did take all the leaves of and phew! Some leaves are now returning! I’ll wait till they are dormant next time. Tough here in Zone 4!

[@Realatmx]

💔😭.. We can't grow poppy without special license.. In India.. I love poppy flowers🌸🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼💐..

[@suburbanhomestead]

That’s sad.

[@flowerfairy1950]

Haha! I woukd have great fun messing up Versailles!

[@rainrabbit9209]

Poppies! 😊

[@suburbanhomestead]

:-)

[@lynnfisher7762]

You could harvest poppy seeds if you preserved their seed pods.

[@yulkaluna]

do you recommend any place to order seeds from online?

[@suburbanhomestead]

I like Select Seeds and Baker Creek

[@caraarslan]

Try Hydrangeas which flower on new wood. Garden Answer here on youtube has a lot of videos about them.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I suppose I will have to. Thank

[@Car-prodigy]

Do you have problems with snakes? I love the look of the more wild looking flower beds but I have a unreasonable fear of snakes and try to keep everything extra orderly to minimize hiding space for them around my property

[@suburbanhomestead]

I've seen some especially in years that I'm not able to spend much time tending the garden. But almost all snakes here are harmless. It may be more of a problem in places with many venomous varieties

[@bryghian]

Hi. What happened to you thumbnail?

[@patriciacole8773]

Cleavers. Aren’t they medicinal?

[@Ryan_Garcia]

Aways?

[@suburbanhomestead]

typo. Just realized it

[@justynjonn]

Is that an abandoned home across the street, is he one of those new homesteaders in Detroit?

[@rubyoro0]

His Etsy shop says Maryland. Detroit homes are usually made of brick.

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

"Chop and drop" pruning *really* doesn't work if you have a slug problem.

[@suburbanhomestead]

It can be a real issue, but it also harbors slug predators so it depends on the overall balance of things.

[@wildchook745]

Maybe you need to move your hydrangea to another area and see what happens.,

[@suburbanhomestead]

Yes, with a better micro climate. But the Polar vortexes have been tough lately

[@wildchook745]

@@suburbanhomestead ...btw, I am a huge fan of your gardening method. All you do makes sense. Oh, I have also started my seeds this spring using you plate and Ziploc bag method. I was doing the Ziploc and paper towel and pop in the bag. It works but the plate one is much better because I can catch them as they start rooting. It's not fun untangling the roots if they grow long. So, thanks for the tips. :)

[@TheKoolbraider]

One of my disappointments when I had to move in January was that my red poppies had finally established themselves and were very showy. They are going to be part of my new garden. From the long distance shots I can see that your house's front yard differs from the others. How "ho hum" those are, how boring and non-productive.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Hope you have a great garden

[@flowerfairy1950]

Yes, I noticed the neighbouring boring plots; I would have thought others in the street would have been inspired.
