  Thanks for the info on seed starting . Do you have any information on starting heliotrope from seed? I swear I can't find a single video.

  Amazing look in such a short time. 😍It is so helpful to study your plant placement in these types of beds. I am good with a long border, with tall in back, mid size in middle, small in front, but need practice with my rounded and oval areas to stagger heights so the views are pleasing from all sides of the non-linear beds. Thanks for the expert inspiration! Go Lisa Go! 🌷🌼🪴🤸‍♀💯Now, out to move some plants around to better positions. LOL

  I have a 3 year old Kousa that is thriving and producing flowers but looks more like a bush than a tree. Should I take off the lower branches to expose the trunk?

  Hi There! Great question!! Without seeing it and hearing your description- it sounds like you have a multi stem dogwood. They are wonderful, and the shape is much desired (speaking for myself…as I recently tried to find some for my yard! 😆) It really depends on your preference, but it may be a little work to “train” it at this point. Personally- I like to let plants do their thing…and the less work the better! 😊🌸

  Great info, especially the tip of turning long shears upside down! I think that tip will much improve my topiary efforts! If I have already missed the "chop" window, as our heat climate in NoCalif makes us about 1-2 months ahead of you, should I still reduce my asters by 1/3-1/2 after my first flush of blooms? Or, wait to do the whole "chop" properly, with the correct timing next year? Thanks for all you post on your channel, I look forward to your content! Your gardens and projects are real life and attainable, rather than some channels that are out of scale with what I have and a real gardener's budget!!

  Thank you so much! We so appreciate your feedback!! At this point in the year, it may be wise to just deadhead the spent blooms to encourage more flowers. This video is addressing how to control the height- and I would recommend waiting until next years “window”. It’s so wonderful to hear your feedback, keep us posted! 🌸

  I prune, they die. Others say take down 6 to 12 inches. I have one younger rose, and will leave larger. Lets see.

• 
  @downtoearthgardeninganddesignКүн бұрын

  Oh no!! I always recommend 1/3 to 1/2 of the overall height. If the Rose hasn’t been pruned in a long time, then get it back to the desired height gradually (start with just 1/3 or less and keep on it each year). We also don’t prune them until they are at least a year or two old- just deadheading. Good luck and thank you for watching!

  Lisa, do you have luck dividing echinacea ? I have some that are getting way taller and wider than their tags said they would be. (the high heat here in Chico CA 100+ must make them happy). For instance, I had to move all my 'Magnus' ,that I grew from seed, to the back of the borders, because they have reached 4 1/2 feet tall in their 3rd year!

  Hi! Thank you for the information. I’m going to try castor oil first as I really don’t want to add poisons into the ecosystem (if a hawk/cat/owl/etc would eat a poisoned vole…😢). Can I ask what the purpose of the soap is? I would think it would break down the oil (since that’s what dish soap is supposed to do). But I also know once heard that dish soap is used for other gardening applications too. Again, thank you!!

  - Hello, thank you for the instructional video, curiously they also remind me of my childhood and old, large houses with huge gardens where lilacs were the most important, I always realized that their color was from brick brown, dark and light violet to almost light blue and pink, but then I saw unscented white Lilacs, the dark colored ones were predominantly scented and now it is very difficult to find them, at least in my country. I would like to know what fertilizers to give them and at what time of year, and if they are made from common or acidic soil, thank you very much, congratulations. ( google translate) - Hola gracias por el vídeo instructivo, curiosamente también me recuerdan mi infancia y antiguas y grandes casas con jardines enormes donde las lilas eran las más importantes, siempre me di cuenta que su color era desde los tonos café ladrillo , violeta oscuro y claro hasta casi celeste y rosado, pero después vi Lilas blancas sin perfume , las de colores oscuros eran predominantemente perfumadas y ahora cuesta mucho encontrarlas por lo menos en mi país. Me gustaría saber qué abonos darles y en qué época del año además si son de tierra común o ácida , muchas gracias , felicidades. felicidades.

  I have lots of bunny eating in my garden and that phlox is one they leave alone here. I tend to have more problems with newly planted items. Many times if I protect them the first year, the same items in later years are left alone. My neighbor has a huge stand of larkspur but every place I planted it, the rabbits ate it. Surely we have the same rabbits! Frustrating.

  I love the Woodland Phlox, beautiful color and smells good, too. I bought mine last year and a few more this year at Walmart in Minnesota. They came back nicely and thankfully the bunnies have left them alone. The bunnies ate the new aster growth instead but those are making a nice comeback, too. We don’t have a deer issue to deal with which makes it tougher for you, to have both. Nice video, looking forward to more updates.

  Greetings from Ireland, Beautiful garden and beautiful peonies. We have a peony that is over eighty years old in our front garden. We bought our house twenty years ago and at the same time my wife's grandmother passed away. She had a big peony rose in her back garden, the house was left to my wife's younger brother who is a builder. He wanted to bulldoze the back garden including the peony but my wife's mother managed to save two big tubers and she gave one to us and kept the other one for her own garden. We dug out a garden bed and that tuber was the first plant we ever planted. It comes back every year with big blooms and is still going strong.

  Beautiful. I am in Charleston now and am intrigued by the irrigation for these boxes. Could you please discuss in Part 2?

• 
  @downtoearthgardeninganddesign24 күн бұрын

  Hi There and thank you for watching! Part 2 in Charleston has already been posted- it was such a beautiful “field trip”! I do believe many of these window boxes had irrigation, which is typically a small drip line hidden in the box. This is a drip irrigation system that is smaller than what is used in gardens and provides a slow water flow for the container plants. Another great way to keep the boxes watered is to use a self watering container like we have in our window box videos that we seasonally decorate. Those videos can also be found on our channel. Thank you for your comment and happy gardening!

  Hi Lisa, I have had peonies bud up, and then the buds just die. Is there any reason why they do that? That happened with one that I had for a few years and brand new ones I just planted this spring (they had buds on them and did bloom), but the next buds didn’t. The older one I have, this year it just leafed out with lots of red, not the usual pretty green foliage, and 1/3 the size it should be. I’m in zone 8B with clay soil if that helps.

• 
  @downtoearthgardeninganddesignАй бұрын

  Hi There! Ugh this sounds devastating! There are a few different reasons why this is happening. The easiest to start troubleshooting with is a soil test. Local extension offices typically offer that service, and the test is very thorough. Keep us posted, this topic would make a great video! 🤔 😊

  Hi There! It is important to know your plant hardiness zone, but the general rule of thumb for lifting tulips is after the flowers and leaves die back (turn brown). Planting is typically late September through mid November…in Ct it’s up until the ground freezes. We will have more videos on this, stay tuned! Hope this helps!

I am going to speak with the mobile home park manager about permission to remove the wreath and using my lambs ear plants leaves to make a winter wreath.
