Corey, I believe your sister will be thrilled and relieved that you planted those planters for her. They look beautiful! ~Margie🤗💐

Hi Corey, i feel blessed to have discovered your channel. I've never seen such a variety of plants. Your teaching has had a huge impact on my gardening, and I appreciate it. Love your down to earth personality. You're great fun to watch. Sincerely thank you for all you do. Another thing is that many of our Madison Wisconsin garden centers have closed over the years. I miss the great variety of plants and quirky garden decor. Thanks again! ❤

Thank you for your kind words. The box stores have made it tough for some of the greenhouses to compete. Fortunately, the ones that remain often are doing a good job of carrying interesting varieties. I visited Ebert's in Ixonia, WI, before Mother's Day -- that's an amazing place! If you haven't visited, it'll be worth the trip.

Wow and it's only 52 minutes away. Thank you!!

Happy birthday to your sister, lovely plant choices and a great brother!! Thanks also Corey for the shout out to your Canadian followers!!🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Great job, your sister picked out some beautiful wonderful plants. You did a beautiful, wonderful job of putting it all together. Have a blessed day the oklahoma gardener

Love that you did this for your sister! Also I love the shade pots. It is harder to find shade inspiration. Can you do a pot with a fern sometime? Thanks.

Fun to see shade containers that are so full of color! I used to think shade plants were boring. Now they are some of my favorites, especially those that can straddle the off sort of sunny, sort of shady locations. 🍁 Love the shout out to Ontario. Grew up there (in Wisconsin now).

Can’t believe you are almost at 20K subscribers!!! Love the channel Corey. Thanks for sharing such great content. Hello from NJ 🪴 Ava

I love her plant choices. Can’t wait to see the progress

Hi Corey! So glad i fund your channel! I am in Manitoba Canada, zone 3 but work at a local greenhouse! Nice to see a lot of the same annuals and I especially enjoy the Petunia vids as there are so many different kinds its hard to keep them all straight!! I am now passing on my newfound knowledge to my customers! Thanks again!

Those are beautiful! I hope your sister was thrilled!

Happy Birthday Stacie!🎂

They are all gorgeous but the third is my favorite 😊

What absolutely beautiful planters, and I am amazed at the begonias. I have a Nonstop white that I mail ordered, and it is so slow growing it's only about five inches tall and no blooms yet. A few of the I'Conia that I bought in bloom have died where the stems shrink down to nothing at the soil level or pot edge and then break off. I have some Glory begonias and some Begonia Beuvilia 'BEBE that are doing well and they take direct sun for a few hours. I think ya'll will really like the Gardenmeister Fuschia and though it's my first year with them (I also got three of the Firecracker Fuschia which has the beautiful variegated leaves), I am really impressed. So far though, the hummingbirds haven't looked at them- preferring the salvias. It's already low 90's here in Atlanta, so I am enjoying seeing how my garden of containers will grow. I haven't seen Solenia or Surefire begonias available here. You are a kind brother. Hope she liked them. Blessings.

That looks amazing. So lush and lovely

So nice! Lucky sister!

LOVE the plant selections!

That’s an awesome birthday present!

😊Nice brother you are. Of course your videos get likes because you share great content and your personality….is so likable!

Thanks for the shout out! I'm in Ontario and I love your channel. Gorgeous shade plants! 🇨🇦

These are so beautiful!

The pots look amazing Corey! I think your sister will love that you did them for her!

Our combos inspired some of my choices this year. ❤

Those are beautiful containers Corey! I'm sure your sister will love them! Bonny, Ontario , Canada

What great combinations. I'd never think to put some of those together. The last one is my favourite with the picotee (?) begonia.

Someone suggested in Garden Gate to use a scale to weigh fish for hanging baskets. The heavier it is the wetter.

I guess that would be similar to my technique of lifting the pots. However, as the plant produces more foliage and blooms, it will be heavier. So you still need to adjust what is considered “wet” throughout the season.

Those planters are gorgeous! (Hi from Ontario, Canada!)

I think your sister will love these! I would recommend trimming the hypoestes to make them bushy. In my experience, once they flower they get leggy and less attractive, like a coleus. Can't wait to see how these do! She has great taste!

Thanks... we trimmed some and left some -- of course the trimmed ones sold before we got a chance to see what they did :) That one had been sitting in the back for a few weeks now waiting for the perfect spot.

Absolutely loving the color combination with the el brighto coleus. Now I’m going to be searching for yellow and orange plants to use with mine. Thank you!

Love the Elbrighto coleus I had it last year but have not been able to track it down this year 😂 🇨🇦

🇨🇦❤ 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️ thanks Corey. You get my vote for best brother! Really nice containers! Love the channel even though I’m in a totally different zone (9b)

love the containers. so nice of you to plant them up. I put my elephant ear in a full sun pot now I'm worried it's going to burn up. can they do sun or shade? great looking pots!!!

It depends on the variety for the elephant ear.

Another Canadian just found you 😊

What a great job bro! I think you'll make brother of the year 😊. I bought 3 waterfall soft orange begonias. What should I plant with them? Thank you!

I usually look for something with a more of a rounded habit like a geranium or tuberous begonia… a fern could be nice too. If you’re in an area like us where that can handle full sun, a grass would look nice. I’ve tried them with coleus and with Sunpatiens and didn’t love the look.

One more quick question. I'm in zone 4b, what sage perennial is easy care, drought tolerant best for our zone that will stay blooming till close to fall. Thank you very much! Happy summer!!!

Here in Michigan, yes. Way farther south, they might struggle.

Can you plant the fuschia out in the garden, or is it an annual only. I’m in southern Michigan.

@UpNorthGardenMI

It’s an annual.

Interesting you find the surefire white begonia to be bushier. This is my first year growing surefires. I have white and rose. So far, the white is less vigorous for me.

I find it’s a slower starter and then explodes. That said, one I planted for the local berry farm is still holding back… hoping it breaks out of it soon.
