Trust me on this one get you a $3 bag of compost at the big box store and put in holes when you are planting your plants will do sooo much better , it took me sooo many years before I started doing this and wow what a difference it makes because we do all of this hard work but sometimes we don't think of the dirt and what the plants need , there is a saying in the garden world ( Dig a $5 hole for a $2 dollar plant 🪴 🤔 I have a lot of red clay it holds on to water 💧 not good for most plants at all 😢 I love your channel your doing a great job .

When planting, look at the tag for determining how far apart you want to put things. Plant for the adult, not what you currently see. So far, so good!

Just found your channel and I really love it it shows real life problems that we or should I say that I have staring a new bed / garden room ,I started one last summer and it's fast forward next March and I'm still working 🤪🤪🤪 oh my goodness what a Job ! Your bed/room reminds me of what I'm doing and I can see yours is going to be Beautiful!

I love all changes and development

I can't wait to see everything wake up in spring! The Japonica is beautiful 😍

You've got a nice big garden space. Will be fun to see it all green up when the weather allows.

So excited to see all you hard work this Spring!

You are doing a great job in your garden but I think you have planted the Spirea a little too close together. I have Spirea and they need a fair amount of space. Thank you for sharing your videos.❤

Hey there from the Uk, working so hard on that heavy soil well done you, I love your ideas, may I offer some advice , look at the size that the plant will grow to I feel the 3 spirea are far too close together which will create further work for you, personally o set my hardy shrubs back from paths in enough space to grow and let’s face it you get one point of interest a year from their flowers, I would then line the path with your preferred perennials theses will flower in spring then give them a chop back here in the Uk we call it the Chelsea chop, done in Chelsea flower show week, you will get further flowers and have the spirea as a beautiful back drop. Hope you don’t feel I’m getting at you , I just thought I’d share my wisdom lol

So excited to see your gardens continuing!

You did good! Can’t wait for the next video! 😊♥️👏🏼

You need an auger for digging that heavy soil! 😮 You are doing a great job! It's going to be amazing this summer!😊

I have the same shovel love it

Looking so nice. its going to be so pretty when all in bloom can't wait for that garden walk! here is a hint on moving those big logs and also big rocks if you have, I get a saucer like sled and hook a rope on it, roll those logs onto that so easy to pull across the ground.

❤its looking good❤

Looking good!

Glad I came across your video. I have two pear trees I have to plant in my very small back yard. I think I will dig my holes while the ground is wet. I know your garden is going to be beautiful. What zone are you? Take care, I am so excited for you

Hey! I love your channel. I might have missed it but I would love for you to talk about your plans for your garden. It’s hard to tell what the overall plan is because I don’t know how your property is sited. Where is the house in relation to your garden? What zone are you gardening in. A little back story would help. I think I heard you say this is a new property for you. Keep up the good work.

Just found your channel. What a muddy job.

You aren’t digging your holes deep enough, top of plant should be level with ground. Also adding compost to your soil would be helpful.
