Welcome to my garden. I shot this over a couple of days to try to get the best light for each area of the garden. This year was a VERY dry year so I have brown patches in my lawn and the prairie is stunted. May and June we only received about 1 inch of rain that is typically when we get good rain. But even though my prairie is stunted it is still blooming. Despite the challenges...it still looked pretty good this year. I still have a few more projects to get done....we shall see if the weather cooperates!!

Lovely. Really appreciate when you insert pics from other times of the season because that's such a challenge to envision. So helpful to see examples of what to plant together that WON'T bloom at the same time (ie the allium takeover for the salvia).

The greenhouse in the evening is amazing. Your potted plants add so much and look healthy and beautiful. I do not know how you keep up with all of it but I am glad you do!

HimDawn, what are the lower growing ornamental grasses you have intermingled where the nepeta are? What are your favorite grasses besides Karl forester?

@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn 11 ай бұрын

That’s Autumn Moor Grass, Sesleria autumnalis which is a cool season ornamental grass. Springtime blades emerge green and may reach a height of 18" and then silvery and slender blooms come out 2' in late summer through fall. Leave the flowers on Autumn Moor Grass through winter as they dry to a pretty parchment color.

Gorgeous gardens! Thank you for the tour 🌸 the climbing hydrangea covered in butterflies, WOW! Do you have to weed the prairie? Did you plant that? Is mowing in the spring the only maintenance?

@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn 11 ай бұрын

Thanks so much. I do not weed the prairie. It is about 7 1/2 or so acres so it’s just way too big to weed. I do try to keep out some invasive things that are growing in there. However, I have not done anything in it in the past two years because I’ve been so busy putting in the greenhouse the garden around the greenhouse and the new garden in the front as well as maintaining everything else. I just have not had a chance to work in there. However, I am going to get into it this fall and try to get rid of some of the invasive bushes and trees that have sprouted in there and work on something called vetch that I have in there as well. The Prairie quite honestly with the size that it is is more work than I could have ever imagined! However, there are so many beautiful plants in there. I just love it at the same time.

How do you keep your fountain algae free? I have tried removing the algae from mine but after three days it comes back. Yours is gorgeous.

@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn 11 ай бұрын

Well, I think one of the things that helps is that it doesn’t get sun all day long. Just morning sun. I do clean it regularly by removing the water and giving it a quick scrub and refilling it.

@judybrock5360 11 ай бұрын

Beautiful gardens !!!! Have you considered grub damage to your lawn rather than drought? Looks like classic grub damage

@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn 11 ай бұрын

Interesting you should say that. I wondered the same. But we have never seen grubs when we look for them. We also only get these strange brown patches in full sun. I don’t ever get these in part, shade or full shaded areas of the lawn. And last year we had the most wonderful regular rain ever and we never got one brown patch!

@judybrock5360 11 ай бұрын

Grubs like hot sun and dry conditions. I battle them every year and chose to treat 1 x per month beginning late May and each month to stay ahead them. So far that is working. I used to wait until August but by then the damage is done and you have to top dress and seed in the fall. We have been blessed with constant rain this summer ( no complaints from this gardener ) so a better year in combat against the grub. I am in southwest Ontario, Lake Ontario zone 6A . If it were drought your entire lawn would have gone dormant waiting for rain. Here’s the test for grub: Tug some of the brown grass, if it resists and stays in ground it is drought, if if pulls out easily it is grub. They eat the roots and kill the grass, hence it pulls right out easily.

@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn 5 ай бұрын

Oh yes I do. For deer I spray that invisible fence stuff. For the woodchucks who like to live under my garden shed as soon as I see something dug underneath it shove moth balls down there. I give it 25 hours and then put dirt back into the hole. I’m careful to watch and do it immediately as I don’t want to displace it he babies. Last year I was too late and had to wait until they all left. This year I’m on it!!
