Susie, so glad to see you back on here. I kept watching to see if you had any videos. The gardens look beautiful. Hope you can keep making videos,🌺🌸❤️

Susie, Your roses are so fabulous. Can't believe you don't have 🎉 spot with all your humidity & rain. Karin zone 6A. Cleveland, Oh.

I'm happy to see your gardens are on the upswing. Even my husband asked me how you're doing the other day! LOL! We're praying for you! This rain is just too much.

Such a beautiful garden

What is the flowering tree? Love your garden!

Wow! For how much rain you’ve had, everything really does look beautiful! Such pretty choice plants. Enjoy all your hard work 💕

So beautiful! Seriously! looks great. love the new roses. love what u did with the geraniums out front!

Can you share how you keep your rock borders so clean? I am constantly pulling grass out from between

The gardens look fabulous❤❤❤❤ Please send some rain our way central NE Ohio.We're in moderate drought.We went 3 weeks before we got very little rain and record high Temps and humidity

Down here in Louisiana it’s 100 degrees and the rain has been a little here and there. But the heat makes me not want to go outside. At 6:30am it was 79 with 80 percent humidity

I’m so glad to see that your garden did so well after all that rain. It’s so amazing how resilient they can be. Just beautiful as always

Ontario zone 4b glad I am not alone went down to 47 last night more rain on the way.

Absolutely beautiful!

Susie! What’s the plant at 29:00? The view from 29:17-29:20 is glorious!! What’s the grass at 31:24? Thanks! Deanna🌸🌼🌺

It's looking great Susie!!! A quarter of my back property I haven't been able to mow this year yet. The rain is crazy pants!!

Beautiful lush looking garden and beautiful containers, they are the bees knees.

Oh Susie, just gorgeous!! Everything looks so lush and happy. Just last night I was thinking about you and how you were doing, worried you gave up so its so good to see pretty well all is fine 👍 Your Sun Kings have grown so much, mine are barely bigger than when I planted them the beginning of last year 🤷🏻‍♀️How many hours of sun do yours get? We have had continuous rain also, nothing close to the amount you have but it sure makes it hard to get out there to do anything with all the mosquitos! My Goats Beard probably grew 2’ feet in the last month ( also new last year) which is fantastic but some of the leaves look like they have Rust but Rust usually doesn’t attack them, any ideas what it would be? Also, have you ever had Thrips? I have 3 beautiful Yellow Columbines separated by many feet and all 3 have Thrips, ever fought those? I’ve read yellow blossoms are prime for Thrips. I’m so glad for you, I understand close up might show more damage but from our view it is luscious ❤️ …and you sound more relaxed and hopeful. Take care Brenda🇨🇦

TY...

The plants look so happy!! Send some rain to Georgia! Enjoy the happy garden!

I just wanted you to know a lot of us are thinking about you and hope all is okay with you and your house and your garden. I hope you will be able to start your weekly tours again because I loved seeing the changes in the garden and appreciate the hard work and sweat and love you put into everything ❤

Missed you this last week. Hope things are getting better. Deanna

love it like a mini tree.

Unbelievable, I am so sorry you are going through this.

I just can’t believe it!! Oh man… I watched this just after you posted and couldn’t even comment, so frustrating for you and you have no help! I really wished I lived closer, I really do! I watched again just now and you commented you had more rain!! 🤦‍♀️ My husbands career was in construction and land development. Almost every home we have lived in he has had to re- landscape so the water flows away from our property. We are dealing with our acreage as I speak, 2 pumps going and the neighbour thinks our septic is failing but my hubby is digging and following the water and we think he is the one with the problem, probably a broken pipe. We’ll find out soon. But!… we too have had more rain than I’ve ever seen here in such a short span, so it could be that🤷🏻‍♀️ Why I tell you this is because I noticed when you showed the amount of water coming out of the pump hose it didn’t look like anybody else in your area was pumping their yards water away to the street. Have you checked to see if the yards around you are flooded as badly as yours? Has someone raised their soil level or contoured a swale for the water to be shed from their property and it has found its way to yours? Or, is your back yard low? It didn’t look like the front was flooded? I don’t know what id do!! Build raised beds in the flood area? Containers? Build a little creek starting where the water is mainly coming from and direct it towards the front and out to the street? Like I said I wish I was nearer cause we could help you figure it out. I keep hearing you are in the midst of a heat dome so hopefully things will dry up quickly. What major city do you live near? I keep watching the weather for your state and saying a little prayer for you🙏🏻 I’m sorry, it will all be a distant memory soon. Take care Brenda🇨🇦

That's just devastating!...I don't know how you can do all that and have 2 jobs...I sure hope you get through it OK... I'm sitting here watching this as a huge storm is going on outside and wondering what my yard is going to look like in the morning... Gardening is one of the most joyful and peaceful things but also one of the most frustrating... It's a ton of work and one thing like a deer passing through can wipe you out for the year...grrr... Wishing the Best for you! Your Garden is Beautiful! I'm over here in northern WI on Chequmegon Bay.

This Minnesota rain is terrible, no sun either. Stuff is looking leggy like Ive never seen it. Im so sorry about your garden .Its still my favorite garden on yt.

If it’s any consolation, Monty Don’s garden goes through periods of flooding too and you both have stunning gardens, even through all that adversity. It’s ok to take a week off from the garden, it will still be there when you get back and you will feel reenergized to work on it again. It will still be beautiful, even with the losses. Wishing you best of luck, I hope the losses are minimal, I can tell how much your garden means to you and how hard you work on it. Would it be possible to install a French drain or some other kind of system to help in times like these?

I was thinking about you when I woke up this morning and said a little prayer for you and your poor garden before I went to sleep last night. I know compared to big world problems, our gardens are a relatively small concern ... but I also know the frustration of investing so much of your time, energy and anticipation into a garden and how frustrating it is to have the elements and the critters causing so many challenges ... especially as the garden is hitting its' prettiest time. :-(

I’m so sorry. That’s very discouraging for sure. Take a deep breath and step away for a minute, like you said. In the end you’ll at least be able to keep more than you lose. It will get better. So many beautiful plants. Once a gardener, always a gardener 💚

Don't give up.... You have such a beautiful garden. If you can, pot up the things you pulled out and give them another chance. Hoping for better weather soon.

Oh my gosh...I literally started tearing up for you...please tell me you had help moving some of your plants to safety! Better days will come...please don't give up!

Hello from a fellow MN gardener. Your delphiniums are beautiful. This week's prediction of rain is beyond distressing. Hang tough. Things will bounce back when the rain moves out and we head into full summer.

I am so sorry you are going through this❤

gardens may come and go, take care of yourself first

Susie I so feel for you. Our sump pump pipe broke underground and my lilacs were under water for months because we didn’t know what it was from our how to fix it. I lost one and half of another one. One was 8 ft tall! I grew them from suckers and they have been an exclamation point in my garden. One day I noticed all the suckers wilting. Then the trees started wilting. Then they died😢. I had to chop them down last weekend. I totally feel your pain. Hang in there. Probably more will pull through than you think. Deanna❤

So sorry. That is so discouraging but chin up Susie better days ahead. Hugs.

I'm so sorry you are getting slammed with one garden "enemy" after the other! You must be shaking your fist at the heavens when you're not pulling up plants to save them. :o The garden is looking beautiful ... even with the onslaught of weather you've had. There's probably not enough time in the day for such things, but I'd be wanting to pick as many flowers as possible, bring them inside, call friends to pick up bouquets (for the ones that need to be cut back). A couple of years ago I had a "plague" of voles chewing off flowering stems about the time they were just opening ... a huge stand of phlox was felled within a couple of days. I had phlox all over the house and at least got to see the flowers open inside. But, I digress. Sigh ... I hope some of your plants survive better than expected, despite the odds being stacked against them. I can understand why you want to step away... it's just TOO MUCH frustration when you have been working so hard to to protect what you have there. I'm feeling guilty in wishing we'd get more rain after seeing your video. It's been an odd year in the Pacific Northwest... we are having very cold temperatures for how late in the year it is. This week we've been in the low sixties and by week's end it will be 82. The plants must be totally confused. You can't rescue everything but you'll be glad later for whatever plants you were able to lift to higher ground. <3 This is one of those unwanted opportunities to test the resilience of certain species. I have fingers crossed the rain will not be as heavy this week as what you just had. Do you have danger of mudslides or road washouts where you live when it rains that much? That's something we start worrying about in our area when that much rain comes down in a short space of time. It's so exhausting and disheartening... but this too shall pass and there will be beauty again. Hang in there. <3

Hibiscus is a bog pant. DONT DIG THEM UP. The roots of those plants will survive, grow, and suck up water.

Hang on tight…we have more severe weather coming tonight 😢

LOVE your garden! Where can I order that Oh-So-Easy Italian ice rose bush??!! Absolutely love it! Thanks in advance

It's been raining so much here in Iowa my coneflowers are starting to rot.I have never seen this happen in my lifetime.

Sorry, do not give up.

I had a storm a few weeks ago that knocked down 4 trees in my yard and completely flattened the flower beds. Needless to say, the garden is looking rather sad and we're in a drought. I know how you feel. :(

You didn't even break up the root ball when you planted the hibiscus.

Gardeners and farmers are at the mercy of Mother Nature who can be ruthless sometimes. I’m really sorry you are experiencing this flooding in your beautiful garden! Wish you could send some rain to central KY as we are very dry. Hardy hibiscus love water but I don’t know if they can stand that much.

We've hit a dry spell and really hot in Eastern NC. On top of that the deer have mowed down my entire shade garden and making their way to other parts of my garden. Hang in there Susie

I know! We had 1.5” yesterday and 1.5” Wednesday plus more coming here this week in southern MN. Last year I watered every day for weeks and this year it’s too much rain! Hang in there!

So, so sorry 😢

Wow that's really stressful! I would be so frustrated too especially with how much money and time is invested in the plants. I'm hoping this week turns out to be a lot drier than predicted too. My ground is saturated but nothing like yours! It's frustrating feeling helpless since you obviously can't move your whole garden. 😒

Maybe a French drain might help. They can be a fairly easy DIY if u know it’s safe to dig. I’m in hurricane / tropical storm area so I know how it feels to lose plants and trees. I’m sorry you’re dealing with so much water.
