A little hint to help plants survive transplanting: Soak the plants in a basin, kids wading pool or something and let them all get a good, long drink. Dig a little wider and deeper than the root ball, throw some mulch and fertilizer into the hole and then water deeply. Then put the plants in and gently but firmly press the soil around them. Water the topsoil and then mulch.

@michelepaccione8806 Жыл бұрын

It also helps to form the surrounding soil into a little "wall" around the roots of the plant, so when you water the water won't just run away from the plant.

Yeah ditto, let's us viewers support the good DIWife couple to get some hands on training with a guest horticulturalist. They definitely need to learn more about how to plant. Those plants aren't rocks. Think of the savings in plants, and they'll love gardening eventually. All gardeners can vouch for it getting under your skin and overtaking down time coz it's enjoyable, relaxing and REWARDING. cheers to all

How you placed them before you planted them is the way to do it. Remember to tease the roots when you take the plant out of the pot. Make sure you water the new plants until they are established. Get the kids involved. Good luck!

I’m an avid Gardner. Just a couple of tips for future planting. It makes the plants establish roots growth to use Espoma starter fertilizer. When the ground is that dry you should put water in the hole before you put dirt in then be sure to tamp the dirt in to not have pockets of air. All in all I love the selection of plants. Makes that space look amazing. Good job!

Though it can be expensive the best thing for front yard is to remove some trees.

Can I just say how much I love playful Dean? These videos are always so lighthearted. I'm still a young adult but already I feel the pressure to be quiet and fit into the norm, to not catch any attention especially as a girl / woman. So next time I'll have a little shopping cart race or dance to the music in the supermarket I won't feel ashamed anymore😊in these times, everyone needs to have these small moments of joy or we'll all go insane. So I hope everyone had a great day. And if not, there will always be a new day to start over or just reset. Also you're not alone!🥰

Advice from a NOT so YOUNG ADULT, If you want to sing or dance, enjoy yourself, dont let the presence of strangers strangle your fun (dont let anybody spoil you fun). I bounce around on space hoppers., sing, dance, etc I dont know these people. I'm not hurting anyone, and it brightens their day too.

Dear Andrea, There is actually a lot to planting and maintaining plants. I had no idea until I went to a Master Gardening class and became a Master Gardener. If you call your Master Gardening Association, (would be good ground work for your husband) and explain to them you are a KZfaqr and you need their help, I'm sure they would send a team of experts out to help you. And it's free. We don't charge. We are to help and educate the community. I loved the program so much I am now a MG in Oregon, Washington and California. Good Luck

Love the landscape design and your plant selection. Please saturate your new plants and flower beds with water because some of your root balls appeared to be dry. Then your drip irrigation will have a great start. Add some starter fertilizer so plants have established root system before we have a freeze. Dean you will need to dig up the crepe myrtle roots. Just trust me on this one. You can plant the roots out back and next year you will a free beautiful crepe myrtle. Fun video. Thanks see you next week.

Good job!!!! Trial and error is almost all of our landscaping and DIY chores. Then you go to KZfaq and find someone to learn from. Even with experience things fail. After losing our dogs to old age we are being infested with deer. They have eaten every new plant and landscaping efforts I have installed this year after a hard freeze. Even in Oregon we are experiencing a new climate and planting zone. It is always a challenge to be met.

Fertilizers is always a great need for plants to help them and if you must water...especially when first planted. Also, look for an accent item for the bed...a large rock, a hunk of wood, a large colorful wind spinner, or crock, birdbath, etc. It looks awesome good job.

Love your content and I am sure you are busy with all the projects you do and raising a family. Gentle suggestion - plant native plants. The benefits are too numerous to mention but the main one is that you don't have to water much for some of our great Texas natives. Check your local Native Plant Society club as they have regular plant sales at great prices. Also, insects prefer native plants which helps you have a healthy ecosystem which helps with keeping plants healthy...so less work for you and no need for chemicals. Edited to add....Your main plantings will get large so you can "fill in" with other plants - herbs, annuals, perennial flowers - just to make up the difference. As the large plants grow, reduce the inter-plantings. Also, you can usually dig up a plant and move it if you find things are getting too big so nothing is set in stone! So enjoy!

Generation gap: I still call them tennis shoes or tennies, LOL. Living in Wisconsin, we get freezes yearly. What we also now get is extreme heat and humidity and semi-drought periods where it doesn't rain for 8 weeks and then we get downpours. The weather has definitely has changed, and not for the better, since I was a kid (born and raised here, now 71 years). The same for most areas across the country I think - changes in the weather so there is no "normal" any longer. So, we have to adapt as best we can and get plants and turf that will survive the changed weather conditions. Good luck with your garden bed, it looks beautiful, fingers crossed everything survives and thrives next year and thereafter. If you use a dehumidifer at all, instead of running a hose a drain, empty out the water container once a day and use it to help water your trees and shrubs first and then your flowering plants. It helps and it's free water.
