Here is what my back deck garden looks like in early June! There is still a lot of planting to be done on this deck and I think some plants are dying.

I admire your garden so much. I found your channel a couple years ago & I thought I had subscribed but then I stopped getting your videos. I recently found you again through Janey’s channel, & thought oh, I remember her. It was then that I realized I was not subscribed. I am now! I have a small 35x20 ft courtyard east facing back garden, full sun. My front garden is even smaller (full shade), just lining my walkway & a small bed against my neighbors house. I loved seeing how you positioned your pots. I love your bucket planter, it’s on my wish list. Oh, I only do container gardening. I’m excited to see how you are gardening in a small space. 🪴❤️🪴

I have fire light tidbit and let's dance rave (both at least 2 years old, both containers, both morning sun only). My let's dance rave broke dormancy in mid Feb and my tidbit in the beginning of April. My tidbit is currently forming it's panicle buds. I think tidbit just starts later. I'm zone 10, no frost, so our plants start earlier than other zones with frost.

The deck garden is looking great. Thank you for sharing. Soil Ph can impact the availability of iron in the soil. If you find yourself constantly adding iron, then you might want to check the soil Ph. Iron availability is lowest in soils with a pH between 7.5 and 8.5. My wife and I discovered this when we were adding soil acidifiers to help our "blue' hydrangea regain the blue (now pink) flowers. Lowering the Ph had the bonus of also fixing the chlorosis issue.

Thank you so much!! I’m going to check if I keep having to add more iron.

My Fire Light Tidbit is just starting to set buds. It’s planted in the ground in full sun. It’s in its third year and has bloomed very well and so impressed with its bloom color even in its first year. I’m located near Niagara Falls so similar zone.

Just discovered your page and I’m in love with your garden. I will have a small patio backyard garden and the vision I have is exactly what you have! Absolutely gorgeous and fun for a small space garden. I’m so excited for what my garden will look like. ♥️ what are those little black pads your pods are sitting on? Can you please share!

@ChicagoGardener 20 күн бұрын

That’s so exciting, you’ll have to let me know what you end up planting! The black pads under the pots are lifts to keep it from sitting directly on the wooden deck. I get them from Amazon: amzn.to/3VVOqYN

I started flower gardening during Covid. I never got into because I am scared of spiders and bugs but I have slowly become better. My question is how do control spiders? I moved my bench’s out of my patio because with all the plants there are lots of spiders.

@ChicagoGardener 5 күн бұрын

I can’t promise this will work for everyone, but gardening has made me less afraid of the insects I used to be afraid of! I would run from bees and spiders but now they don’t bother me at all. A poisonous spider would be a different story though…

I planted white & rose gomphrena next to one another. Now I have a blush colored gomphrena blooming. Go figure?

But even if they cross pollinated that should only impact the seeds, not this year’s flowers!

Where do you get your plant supports? The ones in the dahlia pots look sturdy. I'm always on the lookout for the perfect plant support.

My begonias really suffered in that heat wave, too- the ones in more sun anyway. My dragon begonias in the shade did better than the ones like yours. I had to rip out one begonia plant because the stems were complete mush. :(

They were definitely not prepared for the heat! Luckily it’s been a bit better the last week or so and they seem to be recovering.

Beautiful garden. Have a question, I have planted a dwarf hydrangea and in another pot a at last rose, can I leave them out thru winter, I live in central Iowa? Thanks so much

What is your growing zone? The recommendation is not to leave perennials outside over winter in containers unless they are hardy two zones below your growing zone.

@ChicagoGardener 19 күн бұрын

Some stay outside if they’re cold hardy enough. My raspberries, rhubarb, coneflowers and rudbeckia have all survived winter on the deck uncovered. Anything more tender that I care a lot about gets moved to the garage. What happens once those plants get to large to carry down, I’m not sure 🤣
