Thank you Sandra 🪴🙏💚

You are super sweet Lakeisha! :-)

I think a little point here and there may be okay? 😁. Too many fingers in the frame - does look a little distracting? You are just too sweet Gina! Thank you Gina! 💚🙏🪴

Me too! How are you supposed to know which plant she’s talking about if she doesn’t point?!

You are super sweet Molly Wolly! 💚💚💚 Thank you! 🙏 I don’t get offended and respect all viewers comments. I do believe we all have personal views on our likes and dislikes and it’s okay to say so as long as we are respectful to each other. As a KZfaqr or any public figure, I feel that we need to provide choices and options - something for everyone because our job does depend on our viewers and I cannot survive as a KZfaqr if viewers don’t watch. It’s my honest opinion. Happy gardening! Ps. I’m so glad you like my choices of plants and enjoy our garden.

Thank you for watching Zaleha! Have a wonderful Friday to you too! 🙏💚🌸

Thank you Donna! My mom also loves plants with foliage - she has eyes for beautiful hostas too! It’s too bad that the hosta is so slow growing - otherwise I could split and put them in containers. 💚🙏🪴

Thank you Mai - roses are blooming right now! Will definitely film them soon! 💚🙏🌸

Thank you Kitty! I think you are absolutely correct! A mature garden with plants that are full will look much prettier! :-)

Thank you so for your sweet comment Joycelyn! I think our garden - the one place we get to make it “ours” and fill it with plants that we love. I’m so glad you share the same sentiments! 💚🙏🪴

The first year - I had some scorched leaf damage and very little growth while the plant was trying to get established into it new home…the following year it started growing a little bit. This year is its 4th year and it’s the best year yet! It has leafed out beautifully! You are correct about our northern climate where the sun rays are not as intense - it can take full sun all day long in our south facing garden. The foliage is a little darker now but I think best vibrant foliage colour was in early spring. Thank you for watching Sammy! 💚🪴🙏

Thank you so much Sreynheb! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much for watching Linda! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you Virat! 💚🪴🙏

Thank you Julia! Your climate sounds ideal! Our spring-summer-autumn seasons are perfect except our winters can be quite cold and harsh…I don’t mind the snow but not the severe cold temps -25C and sometimes as low as -40C (with cold wind chills). Thank you again for your thoughtful comment. It means a lot knowing that I share gardening love and interests with many gardeners around the world. Happy gardening 💚💚💚

Thank you so much Margaret! 🙏💚🪴🌸

You are so welcome! 🪴💚🪴

Thank you for watching Grasya Fams! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much Catherine! 💚🪴🙏

Thank you so much Seerat! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much for your kind words! 💚🙏🪴

Great idea!! Sometimes I just don't know what people are interested in watching. Thank you so much for that! :-)

Thank you 😊 Johnny….JLo 😂 I have never heard this before! JLo does have a beautiful voice…so thank you 🙏 for the compliment! 💚🪴💚

I think gardening & plants take some time to fill in. Often people want instant gratification and buy large plants. However, I tend to like small plants and watch them grow and fill out (mature) in my garden….it’s very satisfying to be apart of the process…very rewarding on a personal level for me. Thank you John! 🙏💚🪴

@@TracysHomeGarden Your patience has definitely paid off.

Thank you Nida! Yes, it’s coming soon - the roses are blooming now! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you Marie for your kind words! 🪴💚🙏

Thank you so much Wendy! I try to use all the space I have for as many plants as possible. 💚🙏🪴

You are so very welcome! I’m glad you found the video useful. Happy gardening! 🙏💚🪴

I agree with you 💯 percent. It is a lot of “work” but very rewarding as we get to see all of our hard “work” come to fruition. Thank you 😊 and happy gardening to you!

🙏🪴💚

Thank you so much!

Hi Khay, I have fence so it keeps the deers away. We have deers and rabbits that come but apparently I have only been bothered by them twice in our last 5 years in this garden. Thank you for watching & subbing Khay!

Thank you so much Sandy! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much Mia! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much for stopping by and watching! 💚🙏🪴

Returning for another visit today. Subbed awhile ago! Love your channel!

Thank you so much for watching! 💚🪴🙏

Thank you Jasmine! The garden is looking full and it’s only going to get better from here once the other plants start blooming. 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much Ella! 💚🙏🪴

Np! I bet everyone else thinks the same : -)

Thank you Dadi!

Thank you Sheree! 💚🙏🪴

Thank Asha! 🙏💚🪴

Thank you so much! 🙏💚🪴

Thank you so much! It’s starting to look like how I imagined it to be so it’s very exciting! 💚🙏🪴

Me too! I also planted the other two trellises with two clematis 2 years ago and they haven't grown as much as the Pillu & Westerplatte. Fingers crossed the other clematis will be putting on a better show next year. Thank you!

Thank you so much Simple Southern Reflections! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much Ali flora! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you for your sweet comment Ziziaixianlou! Happy gardening to you! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you Alex! The plants are beginning to fill in nicely. 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much Myrna! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you Deeluwin! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much Paulette! 💚🪴🙏

Thank you Pamela! I think most gardeners in zone 5/6 are constantly reminded with the cold & snowy winter and the late spring freezes we get so we try to plant plants that will be hardy & resilient with our climate. 🙏💚😊

Thank you Maya Rada! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you Marlise! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you! 🙏💚🪴 I have the link to one of the videos on how I created my hydrangea trees for you here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mq-GmK9zltLPn4E.html

Thank you Leia! 💚🪴🙏

Thank you dear friend for watching! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much Kolina! 💚🪴🙏

Thank you so much and for subbing as well Barbara! 🙏💚🪴

Thank you Tina! Gardening should be fun and easy…and I’m so glad you find the videos useful! Happy gardening!

Hi Andrea, Our front garden is south facing so all the panicle hydrangeas get full sun but I do deep water them during our summer but we rarely get 35-40 C so that may be why they can be in full sun.

Thank you Nadeem! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you so much Rachel! 💚🪴🙏

In my opinion, soluble fertilizers are not needed for perennials as most of them are not constantly using the nutrients forming blooms…they do need a “slow release food” to slowly take up and form their blooms - which is predetermined by the numbers of days or amount of sunlight they get. I have a penstemon that got some excess soluble fertilizer - it has huge foliage because of the extra “food” it gets from the hanging basket dripping down….but it’s blooms size is a lot smaller than the other penstemon plants that don’t get any fertilizers. I think perennials like coleus (foliage type)…you can feed a much diluted fertilizer to get them to “grow” larger and bigger (faster also)….but flowering perennials don’t really need them. Hope that helps Maria. 💚🪴🙏

Thank you Sumit Gardening! 💚🪴🙏

Thank you so much Tonnie! My mom buys plants on clearance and so either it has no tags or it’s half dead at the end of the season…😁 I usually never know what she brings home. It’s good to know the name now! 🙏💚🪴

@@TracysHomeGarden That was a good buy, especially if she got it on clearance. I love it!

Thank you so much Laura! 💚🙏🪴

Thank you Eunice! We are in Toronto 🇨🇦…zone 5/6 (our last winter was really warm). I’m so glad you liked the video. 💚🪴🙏

@@TracysHomeGarden Im in Ottawa do you what my zone will be ?🙈

@@yanirap1213 Ottawa should be border line zone 4b or 5a….but our last winter was warmer so I think Ottawa was more likely 5a…and Toronto would be more like 6a.

Thank you Jessica! I will definitely consider that tip! 💚🙏🪴

@@TracysHomeGarden just do it😉

I have creeping Jenny, mint, mums and chives that came back as perennials in pots last winter as well. Last winter was relatively warmer than usual so I hope this winter will be similar. Fingers crossed 🤞 🙏🪴

Thank you so much Bola for the kind advice! 🙏💚🪴

Autumn Joy sedum blooming in June?! That is strange indeed…..they start blooming for us around August! Hm…hardy hibiscus are just coming out of dormancy so they don’t usually bloom until much later. With everything else happening in the world - double blooming in our gardens is certainly welcomed! 💚🪴🌸

@@TracysHomeGarden Yes, indeed. I have several Autumn Joy Sedum and this is a first for me. Only one is doing this. I agree... my garden is my sanctuary

Thank you so much Ovilia!

The planters for kale is truly amazing! 💚🪴🙏

Hi Anita, Thank you so much for your beautiful comment! 🥰 We have been at this new property since summer of 2016. The banana cream daisies are in full sun (south facing garden)…and they came back without any special winter treatment from me. I planted one 1-gal size container 2 years ago. One year after it tripled in size. Last spring I divided that 1 plant into 5 pieces and planted them as a drift as seen on the video here. If you look back at last year’s video - you’ll see that some clumps were much smaller than others. I’m happy to say that all of them - except for the one just to the left of the Quick Fire hydrangea tree (which is shaded by the canopy of the hydrangea tree) have more than double (maybe triple?) in size. I think our winter in Toronto maybe quite similar to Chicago (if not colder) and so I think the Banana Cream daisies should do well…except that it needs full sun to do well. They will be blooming very soon so I will definitely be giving an update soon. Happy gardening Anita! 🙏💚🪴

@@TracysHomeGarden Thank you so much for the speedy and detailed reply! It’s very much appreciated. Guess who’s going to Lowe’s tomorrow for those daisies😁 There were lots when I went on Monday…so hopefully they still have some left. Mine will go in the south facing front yard, so with any luck they’ll do well. For 2 years we had some shrubs in front I didn’t really love, so this year I replaced some of them with Invincibelles, roses and several flowering perennials. Your flower beds are my goals💕 My parents lived in Toronto (Mississauga) back in the late ‘90s, so I visited a few times. Definitely similar weather - we also get the Japanese beetle infestation around the same time😩 Looking forward to more videos, and thank you once again! Have a great evening🪴🌹✨

Hi Juanita, I don’t feed the hydrangeas in the ground - I feed them with used coffee ground - 1 cup in the spring and another in the fall. If the hydrangea is in pot, you need to mix in some bark compost and throw in a handful of Rose tone or Holly tone. The dried yellowing of leaves may be because it is getting too much sun. You may have to move it to a shadier area until it recuperates…and slowly re-introduce it to the sun after that. Sometimes when the plant has a young root system it is not very efficient at moving water to the canopy. Hope the Little Lime will get better Juanita! 💚🙏🪴

Hi Joanne, You can find them at the Home Depot. 💚🙏💚

Thank you so much Charmaine! 💚🪴🙏 I have self watering planters & hand water the garden beds & lawn by hose.

Thank you Kabifa!

Oh….”fire & ice”…I will definitely look up the tag (or maybe it was labeled with the wrong tag???). Thank you so much for letting me know Mel! 💚🙏🪴

@@TracysHomeGarden NP! 😊😊😊

I saw some at VANDERMEER nursery in Ajax (if you live in the GTA). You can probably order from the Proven Winners website if you live in the US. 💚🙏🪴

@@TracysHomeGarden thanks! I will go to vandermeer and check it out

I have never used Plant Tone when planting before but I know many people - including Laura from Garden Answer, she always use it and gets good results. I just use some compost when planting and always get good results as well…so I think there is multiple ways to plant things depending on our preferences. Happy gardening Juanita! 💚🙏🪴

Hi Maria, I bought the self-watering containers from Costco.ca However, they only have them in the spring…I have also seen some planters in-stores at Costco (for cheaper price) as well . Their website don’t have too many options at the moment. I have also seen them sold at Lowe’s as well…although they may be a little more pricey than Costco. The self watering planters are great - I hardly have to water my veggies. 💚🪴💚

@@TracysHomeGarden Thank you Tracy

Hi Khay, I got the seeds from cross-pollinating my red and purple columbine varieties in my garden. Thank you so much Khay!

I will find and plant them in containers to try it out. Thank you so much Karen! Last year I lost my 2nd flush of roses because of the beetles. 💚🙏🪴

@@TracysHomeGarden I think you will like them. They open in the evening, thus the name 4 O'clocks, and have a lovely fragrance.

The key is not to give salvias any fertilizers…like sedums, salvias do better in poor soil. Another reason may be you have to divide them every 3 years or so. All the best.

Salvias bloom for a long time…they are all budded up for me right now. They rebloom after you cut the old bloom stalks back.

Thank you so much Adenium Plant gardens! 🙏💚🪴
