Patio garden tour with allium bulbs
The patio caught my eye on the morning that I recorded this, and so I decided to do an impromptu video of this garden directly around the patio unweeded and unmulched. The alliums looked so elegant and so I wanted to capture them. Next year I hope to have many more alliums here.

Tips for planting bagged store roses ( beginner's guide to bare root roses)
มุมมอง 3.8K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
This year I’m replacing one of my Eden roses with a bagged store rose. This is one part of your beginner's guide to bare root roses. These are essentially are root roses. These roses can be a great economical option but only if you start out picking the best of them at the right time. Otherwise, they can be a huge waste of money as they can have high failure rate. If the pretty pictures on thes...

Drop Cloth is the DIYer's best kept secret. It is such a great quality fabric for a fraction of the price. I'd like to show you how i both bleach and Dye mine to make it even more versatile. Blog: boyerandco.com Instagram: boyerandco
Vanessa, what a lovely tour of this space. Thank you so much for sharing it. I love your heart chairs. They are the sweetest! Also, it is so clever to use the plate rack as a trellis 🙌🏼. I have Polka and it is currently my favorite rose!
Oh, Vanessa! This is LOVELY!!! I wish we lived closer, I’d love to come tour it in person 😍
I have no idea what you're talking about regarding gardening, but I love your voice and the garden! Oh, those deer! Hi, M! Great tour!
I bought Eden climber in 2/2024 at Lowe’s exact like yours. Now, 2 months later, it has several buds already.so exciting!!
beautifully explained.. I got a couple of true bloom bagged roses recently from Costco that had leaves and planted them in my front yard... I guess I made the mistake of planting them while it was still cold outside. :( They've been out there for a couple weeks now.. the stems are green but I can see that the plant is struggling. I hope the weather warms up so that they have some chance to bounce back.
Planting it outside was the best decision. I say just keep an eye on it and remember to keep it nicely hydrated! Maybe feed it a little natural compost for a little boost ❤️
Loved this! Looking forward to the update video. I got an Eden last year anc she had two blooms, hopefully there are more this year .
I wouldn’t say those bagged bare root roses have high failure rates. I’ve bought many bagged bare root roses, probably around 20, and have none die. What I do is after removing the rose from the bag and pine shavings, I soak the roots of the rose in a bucket of water in a shaded area for a few hours. Then after planting, you’re supposed to water it every few days if it doesn’t rain, until it establishes itself. Around a few weeks. Then you can reduce the watering. I plant mine with the graft above ground since I live in a warmer area. But I’ve heard people say that cold areas should plant the graft union under the soil.
How long did it take your Eden rose to get to a size to cover your arbor....how old is your rose on the arbor
In the video, The rose on the arbor is 3 years old. I planted it in the spring of 2020 as a potted plant. It was likely a first year potted plant from bare root. Most of those picture were taken in 2023. By 2022, it was a little less than halfway up the arbor. Last year (2023) it was about 3/4th of the way up the arbor but then the one on the left died due to septic work nearby that nicked both of their roots a lots. That couple with a drought was a perfect storm that killed it. The one on the right almost died. This is all to say that I expect it will be another few years before I see them as big as they once were.
It’s all about proper rose care. I bought my earth angel last year and it’s about the size of this lady’s rose. Remember, granular/liquid fertilizer, or organic ones if able, specifically cow manure. Bonus advice you can also fertilize with alfalfa or bone meal. Those two will be loved by your plants. Don’t forget to often water your roses They become really thirsty especially on hot climates. I was forgetting something extremely important, always plant your roses where they’ll receive 6hrs of sun. I hope this helps 😊
My Eden climber did not flower on the 1st year
I expect it will. My experience with once blooming roses, which Eden essentially is, is that they tend to miss their window to bloom in the early spring if planted barefoot in late winter. Perhaps because they don’t get rooted and established in time? Maybe! But it should be nice and rooted now that’s it been in the ground a year and ready to give you a show this spring.
I’ve been hunting for an Eden climber. Which box store did you find and location?
It was Lowes. Good luck
I hope mine blooms this year it did nothing last year.
I bet it will. Despite many people calling climbing Eden a repeat bloomer. It is not. It is a once bloomer for like a month in early spring. The confusion is because it it does shoot out a few random blooms here and there throughout the rest of the season but nothing substantial. I imagine that one reason yours didn’t bloom first year is because by the time it got going, it had missed the ideal time in the early spring for it to send out that wonderful flush of blooms.
did the drop cloth shed a lot of threads in your washing machine?
No it did not. It still had its hems when I washed it.
Wonderful video. One caveat: if you're on a septic system, this much bleach will kill the bacteria in the septic tank. This is NOT GOOD. So doing this process outside in a bin is preferable. Then find somewhere away from the system to dump the water. Then dilute the area with a lot of water. Also, you could go to the laundromat.
This is a great point and worth knowing. Thank you for sharing. I would have mentioned this but I didn’t learn it until afterwards.
Thank you for the calm way you presented the information. I am wondering, can I skip the bleaching step and just dye the drop cloth?
Yes. You don’t have to bleach first to be able to dye. They are two separate processes to fill two different needs.
Lovely home, good taste!
Thank you 💕
What camera are you using? It's so clear
Do you mean 1/2 cup bleach for every 5 gallons of water? You said 1/2 gallon of bleach for 5 gallons of water
No, she means half a gallon... You HAVE to use that much or it absolutely will not work!
Too talkative
And you're too rude! Why even say anything at all if you are going to be negative? Many people have severe anxiety and/or a lack of confidence, so you could be causing them to go backwards just by your ugly words!
What Camera Setup did you use... This Video is Perfect... Beautiful.
YOU are totally right!!!! Drop Cloth is the BEST kept secret... I am getting ready to rehoposter my RV Couch... and Capitain's Chairs too!! Also make the Curtains ... Happy Happy Happy.... NOW... let me give you a SECRET.... I costumed painted my Vintage Tiny Travel Trailer... Could NOT find the right color (a TRUE Turquoise)... so I thought I'll take T-Towels 100% cotton (Walmart) Cheap... and DYE them with the diluted HOUSE Paint (Walmart) and if it works ... GREAT ... if not... I learned something new. I put the Cotton (white) T-Towel in a huge bucket, with the diluted EXTERIOR Walmart House Paint I had costumed made... 8 parts water 1 part paint... Let the T-towel set in the mixture for hours (forgot about it)... Took it out, beautiful color, now will it "run" out when I rinsed it? NO it was really pretty... I then put fabric softener in the bucket with water, lots of FABRIC Softener (after cleaning it out).... Let it soak... Rinsed the fabric softener out... BEAUTIFUL... so soft. I plan to now do the same thing to my Drop Cloth... YEA NOTE: Drop Cloth is off colored... you can NOT get a TRUE Color unless you Bleach it WHITE First... or... do NOT DYE it too dark... the off colored of the cotton fabric drop cloth will make your dye darker than you'll expect .... Keep this in mind. Thank you for your great video...
REUPHOLSTERED...
Helpful video. You have a beautiful home.
Loved this very to the point and simple to follow video! I’m redoing our not so pretty couch and this is exactly what I needed! Thank you 💗
I’m so glad I stumbled across your video. I was wondering if this was possible. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏾✨
Please tell me size of your drop cloth mine is 9'x12' is that ok?
I've seen people cut the 9x12 in half and dye only half at a time with 1/2 bottle bleach each time...
I was looking for this type of video! I wanted to create a thin colored carpet to layer another carpet on top and wanted to know if I could dye a drop vloth because it was the prefect thickness. Thank you!
does drop cloth shrink in the wash ?
Great question and I’ve been wondering about this. Would have been nice for presenter to answer your question.
Mine did shrink it was 100 percent cotton , check the label ,I washed and dried it in the dryer.
The gray is beautiful! You have a wonderful laugh! :O) My husband and I made a couch for our camper and we used drop cloth to make cushion covers and for the back of the couch. I also used the scraps to make pillow covers. We love it! I am looking forward to using drop cloths in our new home. (later this year)
Thank you for such an easy approach! Love your calm sit down walk through. God bless!
How do you dry the cloth once its bleached and washed? Dryer or line dry?
It depends. If you want to be able to dry your slipcover, versus hanging it to dry, be sure to dry the drop cloth in the dryer BEFORE you make your slipcover. I'd wash and dry it 2-3 times just to be sure the fabric fully "pre-shrunk". I'd also dry the dropcloth on "high". Everyone recommends taking 100% cotton slipcovers out of the dryer while they are still somewhat damp, to avoid wrinkling.
I enjoyed your video ...looking forward to many more ...possibly how to use the drop cloths making pillows or couch covers
Such a good video ! Can't wait for this channel to blow up. :)<3
