Absolutely beautiful!

Another beautiful video!

Our lilacs are looking the same way, and apparently it is common this year because of all of the rain. Every source I've heard talk about it says not to worry about it - they'll be fine. I hope they're right.

You've talked in the past about dressing with compost and mulching. I was wondering if you hoe at all spring the season.

A lot of holes in your hostas

That is awesome you had the patience to start lisianthus! I might get seeds and try to tackle them this year. Red Wing, MN

I love your garden, I am also in MN zone 4b... Thank You for sharing with us!

Absolutely beautiful as always! Your garden tours are always a treat! I wish my Hydrengeas would turn that vivid pink raspberry color like they do in your zone! Had to clean out some of my lambs ear too it rained hard back to back and Lambs Ear does not like to be wet at all. You should be proud of yourself. I wish i could grow stuff from seed a successfully as you do! take care

Your garden looks gorgeous…🥹even with all the.. things that happened this year for you weather wise😊so happy for you and as always love your videos thanks

Its amazing how well your garden has recovered from all the flooding! It was looking pretty devastating...so glad it came back for you!!

I always like how you talk on your videos your voice is very subtle….thank you for sharing

Those lisianthus are gorgeous! Bonny

Your garden looks so healthy and lush. I'm your neighbor in Iowa. We get the same weather you get. I have begonias like the one in the pot at your front door. Mine is a peachy cream color. It was dying in a whiskey barrel in the yard so brought it onto the porch and it's made a fantastic come back. Begonias of any type are great if you have shade or dappled shade and for a porch. I bought a few more heuchera mid Summer on sale. Too hot for me to be outside planting so will soon when it cools a bit. I have a lot of hosta of just one type that came from 3 free plants at my last abode that I brought with me here. They are great fillers for the garden but not my favorite plant. So I plan to gradually replace them with brunnera. This was my 1st visit to your channel. It's been an enjoyable visit.

Man your yard looks beautiful! To think there was a time not long ago you were thinking of throwing in the towel!! I’m still shaking my head at your beautiful HUGE Sun Kings!! How many hours of sun do they get? I’m going to move mine to a more sunnier location, they barely grew 6” this year.. grrr… Also, how much sun does your Lungwort in the same area as the Dianthus you cut back get and Brunnera near your Sumac? After seeing yours I’m thinking I should be putting some of my shade plants in more sun 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks for the great video, I always get so envious. Brenda🇨🇦

Real pretty

.looking very pretty we've been very dry in NE Ohio this summer❤❤❤❤

So glad to see you this morning. Yes morning sun..❤ we take our dog for a walk every morning by the lake..it is so refreshing and healing. I did begonias this year too. They look great! I think I will try some compost in my front next year. Thanks for talking about it! Happy gardening Susie!

We LOVE the long tours!!!

That container in your garden is gorgeous Susie. Bonny

Lovely. I'm a Minnesota gardener too.

Creeping Jenny even is in my grass everywhere in my yard.

Yes gardening is a wonderful place I can lose myself in which is exactly what I need with a retired husband who is not handy or has no hobbies. (He does work about 15 hours a week at a car auction though…that’s 15 hours that I look forward to. lol)

Beautiful garden; so much work eh? Love your begonias!

I love the color of those lillies out front next to the bo bo hydrangeas!

i love your tours :) I feel you with the heat this last week! ugh....I also get terrible migraines from heat and humidity so this time of year is challenging for me with gardening. I went out this morning for a few and picked some weeds after the rain last night and that was satisfying. I have my eye out on a fire pit like yours on Marketplace. $20 a good deal probably...just haven't pulled the trigger to go pick it up yet. I also love that little bench with the tree stump bench. How cute! we also had so much flooding. I can't even plant anything in our backyard because every few years a huge chunk of our back yard floods. I am talking 5-6 feet of water as we are by a river. Such a waste of planting space! lol.

You amaze me how you remember your plants names! I have trouble with that. Hopefully the heat/humidity is over. Its been brutal. Happy gardening Susie!

Great tour, I’ve got to move my Sun Kings to get more sun and try to catch up to the height of yours!! Are you able to move your sun scorched Hostas from the side of the house? Looks like you are fighting for room for them anywhere else 🤷🏻‍♀️, they are so beautiful!! Take care Brenda🇨🇦

You are so right about creeping Jenny. I have it in 2 beds, one is fine, it’s a small bed with a water fountain & a few perennials. It’s totally covered in it. The 2nd bed I have is much larger & I’m concerned over my coneflowers & phlox being choked out so every week I hand pull buckets of creeping Jenny to keep it under control. I also have clematis, a hardy hibiscus & rose of Sharon but they should be fine. And I don’t care what anybody says about it depressing weeds, it does not. Weeds grow in creeping Jenny even when it’s completely covering the ground & it’s thick! It’s nearly impossible to eradicate. I too do everything myself & I have a husband but he has never been handy & has always had back trouble. He used to mow but after he had shoulder surgery, that was the end of that. So I now hire someone to mow & trim. (We are in our early 70’s). Our property is difficult to mow . It’s a hilly acre with a privacy fence & an inground pool so there is alot to trim around. I paint, pressure wash, trim the shrubs, maintain the pool, landscape, lay pavers, lay pebble rock, cook & clean. All 3 of our kids live out of state so we are on our own. Last year I decided to plant more flowering shrubs & less annuals to make things easier & Im pretty done with any hardscaping so I was actually able to really enjoy gardening this year. Watering became an everyday thing when we didn’t get rain for 5 weeks. It was crazy. We have to keep going so we do & gardening is such a joy but I would like it better if we had a smaller yard! lol Take care😊 your GA gardening friend

I always enjoy your tours! Thank you!

A black lace elderberry would look great where the sumac is at. The sumac is going to sucker a lot.

Very lovely!

Heads up on that Sumac....you'll get runners/spreaders!!!!!

Do you keep your pots with a hosta out in the winter

I'd be leary about that sumac because they are known to run everywhere. Thanks for the tour Susie. Bonny

I’m in zone 8b, middle GA & when you said it was 84 but felt like 94 I about choked! lol It was 94 here but felt like 104, lots of rain & the humidity is at 73%. I detest August because things here start looking weary. I’ve got some Shasta daisies I bought on the clearance rack to plant but they’ll probably go in partial shade this time of year. Come on Fall. Your garden looks beautiful ❤

Dear Suzie - What a beautiful garden. I’m 73 and a first time Gardner. Now that I’ve retired I am trying my hand at it. I would love to know the varieties, if it’s not too much trouble. Thank you.

I love shade gardens. Such beautiful textures. Curious if anyone caught what dogwood variety was talked about maybe around 4-5 mins in

I bought assorted Phlox from a catalog year before last, its started blooming this year, its beautiful there is white and a colour between purple and pink, i would have preferred the pink like yours,but am still enjoying them, and it wasn't too expensive, but they came as roots just have to baby them

I've drawn so much inspiration from you and your garden throughout the years, and although I don't comment on every video, I do watch and really appreciate that you share these videos! Your garden looks SO pretty. :)

I know what you mean about August not being your favorite look in the garden, as I feel the same. BUT things are still looking great there, and I'm jealous of your shade garden 😅

OMGoodness - how beautiful! I always love your garden tours, I think I'm going to "need" white gomphrena next year!

Beautiful gardens!❤❤❤❤❤

I am in zone 4b northern Ontario we are having the same weather so I appreciate everything you are saying.My garden is looking the same.I planted an elder instead of a Japanese maple I hear your pain ha ha.

Loved seeing your garden. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

It's been a tough year for gardening. I'm in WI zone 4. Had all the rain in May and June and everything grew tall. July was too hot to work outside as we live in sandy soil. We had the wind and rain yesterday and my geraniums and phlox took a hit. I hate to say it this early but fall can come any time.

Lovely garden. 😊

Beautiful garden, thanks for sharing.

My brunnera self seeded too!❤ I love it when that happens. The rabbits ate all my different types of hostas this year. It's been a rough one! Happy gardening Susie!

I'm so sorry. I understand your frustration.

Lovely gardens!
