Soleil, your garden is gorgeous! I also move plants around every fall. I have quite a small garden, but enough space that I can move plants where I think they’d do better. I also have containers with perennials/annuals. I get a lot of ideas from you! 💚

Hi Soleil, I have a few questions… Would you be up for doing a dedicated video on your pest and disease control? My garden is all chewed on by bugs and a rabbit family. I’m probably not the only subscriber who could use a timetable of action and products to use! The other question is do you keep a list of all your plant names and varieties? Would love one to refer to when shopping…❤ I just love all your gardens!

@Suburbanoasis Жыл бұрын

Hello, I do keep a photo album and slide the plant tags into the slips when I remember to do so, but haven't created a list at this point!! 🤪🌲☘️🌺

I just noticed your fiddle leaf fig inside the window on the other side of the birdbath out front. I was so pleasantly surprised when I searched your channel and found videos on indoor plants! How did I not know this? Anyway, thanks for another beautiful tour. I always enjoy seeing your garden and how different plants perform throughout the year. And now I'm looking forward to watching your house plant videos too.

After watching your video of the flower bed you extended using paper bags I did the exact same thing to mine in my front yard. Rocks and all. I think I will just move some plants that I already have into it when it’s ready to plant. Thanks for the ideas, tips and inspiration

Everything looks so healthy! If you have a very strong power washer, you can spray the nest with dawn dish soap with a safe distance. Might require 2 or 3 attempts as I find some come back to make a new nest. One visit from an exterminator was more than double the cost of upgrading our power washer and extender since I have trouble with nest in higher areas. Try to get the nest out when small they tend to get bigger quickly.

Thank you. If we had seen the nest when it was tiny we would have definitely removed ourselves! This ended up being about a volleyball size!!🤪🌿🪻🏵

Such a gorgeous garden! I’m so curious about your sunlight in the gardens bc of the different plants you have in one space. Would you consider doing a tour and addressing when the plants get sun and shade in that area? It would be so helpful for newer gardeners to know how to plant so many varieties together and sun requirements. Thank you!

I have a strawberry sundae hydrangea and my branches are close to 3' long. The blooms are so large that it looks like a weeping hydrangea. It gets a little sun in the morning and then sun from maybe 12 or 1 o'clock until about 4 or 5. I thought I pruned it properly but it is not as compact as yours and trying to tie it up, although it helps, seem futile. How far do you cut yours back and do you wait until spring? Last year I cut all the blooms off because they were so droopy. I have a beautiful dried arrangement and it looks like I'll be replacing it with this year's blooms.
