I love your slogan. “Earth is my Planet “🙌🏼🥰

The streets needed this one

You are learning a valuable lesson you will go on to create a wonderful place

Boy gonna have the Garden Of Eden in his backyard in no time

So helpful to get the lessons learned! Made me cry when you mowed her down, but I see the big picture! Peace!

I’ve seen so many gardening channels, never before have I come across a bro-gardener. Love it!

4:00 most wildflowers are rather tall! 3' is typical. If you want something short choose the more expensive dwarf mix of plants like dwarf cosmos or dwarf Blanket Flower (Gallardia), creepign phlox, ice plants, etc.

You should lay heavy corrugated cardboard then 4 inches mulch. Mix wildflowers in a bucket by adding sand - the sand acts as a delivery system and you can see where you cast seeds. I do no dig gardening everything i plant - even veggie mounds. Thanks for sharing 😉

When you know better, you do better. Love this content!

The honest feedback is the most impressive type of video. I appreciate what you are doing here. Keep that wildlife going my dude. Earth is my plaanet.

I made all these same mistakes, G. The first year was so 🔥 but I neglected it for 2 seasons and grasses took tf over. Midwest Prarie vibe over here so I have some pretty decent clumps of P. Coneflower, Blackeyed Susan's and lots of re-seeding Sweet Williams. I've been working on it like a mad man this season. I've basically been crawling around in it after every rain ripping out crab grasses and weeds. Good luck my dude, if you keep up with it they're very rewarding. *I always chuck some handfuls of Zinnia in for fast color.*

Brooo the pond is gonna be sooo lit

Hey I think you’re on the right track, maybe just add a walkway around the meadow and separate the back bed and you’re good until you decide to put the pond in. 🙏

So nice to FINALLY see a Houston gardener! There is very little content for our area. I wish I had the space (and sun) to grow a meadow. I am north facing and only have a small bed in the front yard that receives sun from April to September. It's really tricky finding the right plants because they must tolerate bright light most of the year AND Houston's sun and heat in the summer. I did plant some Canyon Creek abelias. They bloom all summer and the pollinators love them, but I paid a fortune for them at Cornelius. So far, though, they've done well in the described conditions. Love your channel. Thanks for your honesty and information.

Can't wait to see what u do with the area. Gardening is always a work in progress. 🌼🏵🐛🐝

I like the way You learn and your yard looks beautiful keep the videos coming

Discovered your channel recently and enjoying going over everything. I have been gardening for more decades than I care to remember and I will say the hardest thing to do is to create something and make it look like it happened on it's own. You may have thought of this but how about keeping the peanut shape and continuing the path all the way around it separating it from the back bed. I have found over trial and error you can make a wild area look good if confined with a crisp edge. This area seems like the perfect spot to create a natural small wildlife pond in it., just a thought. -enjoying your garden energy - and the recycling!!!

@Paul Plantu you are hilarious as hell . 😂

You could throw some sunflowers along the fence that gets sunshine, then cosmos infront of that, also walker's low catmint and oregano bloom and the pollinators love them. Also I started growing lavender varieties and my yard was a pollination party. Dude, go find those catmints and oregano and thyme plants on clearance.

Man, I love your videos, and this one is probably the most helpful one I've seen.

Thank you Dr. Plantu you’re great 👍

Bomb vid bro . Can't wait to see what's coming . I'm redoing my back yard it's that time

I'm a huge faaaann..... earth is my plonet🌎❤️😂

Yards are for playing in. Mow, no mow…make it fun and I’m in. This summer was my first time putting free transplant flowers in and I definitely noticed more dragonflies and butterflies this summer. I’m also zone like 2b so grass for barefoot yard is a must

Great, informative video!

Thank you!!!! So helpful!!!

Your videos are SO helpful!! For mistake number one we had… chickens! :D we own 8 girls and had them free roaming for 6 months on the patch that will now be (hopefully) the meadow. Those little dinosaurs eat the bare sod to its bones! 😂 cleanest patch I’ve ever seen (and it used to be soooo weedy). If u can get a few of these wonderful animals that give us so much for so little! 🥰

Cant wait to see the pond and then the self sustaining eco system you create!

Thank you! 🌱

Enjoyed learning about your experience! Have you thought about a shade garden for those areas that do not get much sun? I too have the same issue and have Enjoyed using shade plants in my garden.... I have learned over time that since most shade plants are tropical , they may need to be covered during the really cold weather! Enjoy your visitors!

Thanks for the mistakes not to make.

Love this channel! How are your patio plants doing??

I think you're doing a great job on this channel! There's not a right way or a wrong way with trying to grow plants. You just have to get the feel on how the plant is going to do where you plant it or put it. They are like our children....some are stubborn and some are easy! But we love them all the same. We live and learn, just like everything else. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!! Going to home depot this weekend to get a few plants. The heat has been brutal on my plants! Don't want to water them to much. It feels good to watch what you plant and see it grow into something beautiful! Keep up the good work! Much love from Galveston! Stay safe and God bless! 🙏❤️🌍🌻🌿🌺🌴 #greenthumb 👍

I want to add a meadow to my hill. My husband is no longer able to maintain it so I think meadow it is.. I appreciate all the advice from your video, great info for me. I'm off to kill off the grass on the hill and I'll start in the fall. (the best piece of advice). Diana

Plant milkweed ! Save the monarchs 🦋 ... plant in full sun

I just love your gardening adventures! Will you be putting some turtles in your future pond?

Also, mine is smaller, because I have wee paths going through, and around the meadow…..you could have done that w it all grown, just weed whack, and mow path ways, maintain that way, or remove and add mulch path, or step stones….anyway, good luck on your adventure…I turned my parkway into a perennial garden, agin w paths, to be inside the garden but also maintain

Paul Pondtu

Hope all the haters were happy at the 6 min. mark, sad but glad to see another chapter to the backyard

Cover it with tarps for about two weeks kills the grass real quick.

Do you guys have a texas native milkweed to help the monarchs?

You say you need to cut down and reseed. Do you mean buy more seed and drop? The flowered plants should have developed their own seeds and dropped seed into the soil for next seaons. Also when cutting the meadow collect the cutting to keep fertility low. High fertility with mulched plants means other species that thrive in high fertility such as grasses dominate and do not let more delicate wild flowers germinate or get beyond seedling stage. Keep the soil fertility low (removing the topsoil turf is a great start)

Somehow some Bermuda grass took hold on the area so I just restarted the process removing all the turf grass.

Zoysia grass is not as bad, doesn’t get real big, I just planted natives into it, I mow 3-4 x year, all comes back, looks groovy….Implanted quarts, not seed. But now the plants re seeding out in the grass

So just throwing seeds into an area of grass the flowers will not grow?

They will grow but if tall/non native grasses are left they’ll largely deprive the area of light and outcompete the seedlings

Pineapple express!

Dude, plant banana Musa ice cream in place with full sun. Fruits taste like vanilla ice. Peace!

Put some koi fish ponds

Oh and...... Big tip... Manure(not fertiliser) kills weeds

Was that a fake bug lol

You’re so cute lol

Wildflower mix on Amazon 🤮

That hat is out of control

You can put your wildflower garden in a ny section of those beds. I like the green grass better than the weedy meadow. It's hard to plant wildflowers when many just look like a weed. Again , the grass actually shows off your nice beds! 💪🟢💚🕊️

st augustine grass? where are you? florida?
