I harvested the last of the veggies in the vegetable garden, which needs a major cleanup. I cleaned up the steps leading to the second level of the vegetable garden and added a few more coral bells to the area. Coral bells- primo black pearl and Dale's strain

Always enjoy watching you work on your space Whitney & continuing to make your vision come to life! Thank you for sharing it with us😊♥️
Thanks for watching! I’m excited to see how it all comes together in the spring
Thank you for sharing your location and zone 😊
Your welcome ☺️
I really like the steps topped with the pavers, looks finished. Wish I could get Carex even close to that price, at the end of our season there might be a few ratty ones left and they are still over $20, for some reason they are very high priced here. Great job Whitney! Brenda🇨🇦
I tend to try and grab some end of season plants from Lowe's and Home Depot. Their in a hurry to get rid of their last plants... Lowes will go down to 75% but Home Depot usually stays at the 50%. The carex grass came from home depot, wish I had grabbed a bit more.
More bulbs! What's the total up to? 400? Love the fact that you can find marked down perennials. Don't see them in my area really...sometimes shrubs, but most perennials are just put away for winter..I think. HD and nurseries...Lowes is not super close by. Here today I planted Hellebores, Hakonechloa, Hardy Begonias, Hardy geranium, Lungwort, Virginia Bluebells some others...mostly transplants from my own garden. Into a friends garden. And some bulbs... satisfactory when its so late to plant ! Keep on Keeping on!
Where are you Eric?
@staceyallard2692 not far from NYC...!
Wish I had an amount that I could divide and transplant...what a lucky friend to receive that, I would've been so excited😆
@@creatingyourgarden it only takes a few years then it becomes a relief to divide so many things! These people had been super helpful to me this past year so I was just returning the favor. And ...gardening is definitely not their thing... Kinda the most fun thing to be able to do. It's super satisfying to bring shovelfuls of Hakonechloa to a blank slate garden and know it can look like something in the spring. And Hellebores look good pretty much all the time. I had a flat of seedlings (1 year old) and divided a few big ones. The big ones went with the hak grass....the yearlings with a bunch of carex flacosperma (sp?) plugs left over from another garden. If you keep developing the your back lot there ... Your going to have enough to divide to run a small nursery. That's One reason this channel is fun to follow. Watching it develop is pretty cool 👍
@@ericjorgensen8028 thank you! Most gardening channels I watch don't start from a blank slate so I thought this would be cool to show especially since the property is wooded and the whole trash thing lol. I can't wait till I have enough mature plants to divide☺️
Love the new plants, great price. They are going to fill that space in nicely. Love watching ❤.
Thanks so much! I think they will too! ❤
Looking great…Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving to you too! ❤️
On your cinder block steps-perhaps consider planting little steppable plants into the holes in each block for living green steps.
Looks like a weed eater would help you out better.someone reach out and help her please! Jeff
What a wonderful harvest. You can't go wrong with adding coral bells to your garden. Happy gardening 😊
@@Sellers707 thank you ☺️
Sandy soul makes for a more perductive sweet potato bed.jeff
@@loissaylor2832 good to know for next time 👍🏿 thank you ❤️
Dr.plant lady.
Where did you get your talent of gardening from? Go back to school. College. You could show some of them a thing or two. Jeff
@@loissaylor2832 thank you. Since I was a little girl I've always wanted a massive flower garden in a few years ago I realized I could have that LOL 🤷🏾♀️ most of it just comes naturally from the love of plants and creating a space... what I don't know I'll study your look up
Beautiful harvest. The coral bells look beautiful in that space. Nice price for the plants.
@@michellepollino4986 thanks! I loved the price 😆
Looks good Whitney, i cleaned this weekend also. I won't plant sweet potatoes anymore, hardly got any. Yay, you found a worm. I have not seen any worms for at least 2 months in my garden. I always save my kitchen scraps (veggies, fruits, egg shells, coffee, etc.) for them. Dig areas of the garden and bury scraps for them weekly. Lovvvvve my worms. I never knew how beneficial worm were for the soil until I found out years ago. 😅
@@WannabeGardenEden I'll probably try the sweet potatoes again, I'll just tried to protect them a little better. And we have to check the worms around here we have an invasive species of worm that's bad for the ecosystem. I hate them! They seem to be a bit bigger than regular worms and their movements mimic snakes.
Nice peppers! Too bad about the sweet potatoes, you should have gotten more, all I know is they need lots of sun 🤷🏻♀️ Have a great week. Brenda🇨🇦
@@brendahayes3365 yeah I wish I had gotten more sweet potatoes I tried to protect them as much as I could. Not sure if it was the deer or the rabbits🤷🏾♀️
Nice Veg haul for November! We need rain here bad. Supposed to get some end of the week! I hope. Looking forward to the spring already!
@@ericjorgensen8028 yes my area is in a drought as well but we are supposed to get more rain Tuesday and Wednesday so hopefully we do. And I can't wait for spring either but looking forward to Winter to get out and try to clear a bit more land for new garden space ❤️💕

good job!
Thanks! 💕
I enjoy watching your show. Sometimes I watch repeat shows of yours.jeff
@@loissaylor2832 thank you!🥰 I appreciate that❤️❤️❤️ and I'm glad you enjoy them
Do you make any yard art to sale?jeff
@@loissaylor2832 no, nothing that is sale worthy LOL
There's something about your sight that grabs me. Keep it up...jeff
@@loissaylor2832 ☺️thank you, I will. There's so much more to do
I'm going to cut back my spirea😊
It's fine to do it in the spring or fall but if I don't do it I know they won't LOL
I hear cars going by.id like to see the front of your house.jeff saylor
@@loissaylor2832 yea, I dont live in a neighborhood. There's alot of traffic
I like watching your sight on your gardening. Jeff saylor.corbin kentucky 40701
@@loissaylor2832 thank you!☺️
The new garden bed looks good, great idea to use the rocks for the border. Can’t wait to see all the spring blooms. That is so nice of you to help your parents out with their garden ❤.
Thank you, I'm hoping to snag a few more clearance perennials for that space and I was able to grab the rest of the daffodils I needed. I'm excited to see the space in the spring, they only have a small patch of daffodils I gave them one year.
Nice work🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thank you! Thanks for watching ❤️
So nice you’re able to help your parents with their garden! I hope you take us back in the spring and show us the daffs in bloom! 😍🥰
I definitely will be back to show the bulbs in the spring ❤️ plus I was able to grab 90 more of the same daffodils to plant in the adjacent bed.
❣️🌹🙏🏼
Pretty soon.... thousands of bulbs...500 of these 500 of those, etc! That is some dry rocky soil! Hope you get a little rain we just got our first rain in about 5 weeks. Hopefully it will keep up a little bit tonight. Keep digging!
We got a little rain as well on Sunday. It's supposed to rain this evening into Friday morning so I'm hoping we get all of that. And yes that soil is terrible... I don't know what's worse the rocky soil or my trash riddled soil lol . Thousands of bulbs sound like a dream🥰
Great daughter, great job, as usual. I guess i should trim my Spirea back. Thx
It's fine to do in late fall or early spring 🤷🏾♀️ but I left them to do it last year lol and they didn't so I guess it will become my job lol😆
I love your effort and the changes you make to this forest garden area
@@ewadyl6555 thank you!
So nice, I've always loved snowfall, but I live in a warm country 🥲
I need to get some!
@@Spondennysgarden7b hurry! Before they're all gone😆
Where Whitney? Were the 50% off?
@@WannabeGardenEden Walmart! Not 50% off though. But they have 30 packs for $11.97
Lol. Retail therapy!
Lucky girl 😊
Oh now you're making me wish 😂😂😂 have fun ❤
If you keep finding trash ask God for to find gold in all that digging he might hear you
I was hoping the gold would be the subscribers and the money that comes along with it LOL I've talked to him about this journey when I first wondered if I should continue posting.
Love it 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thank you!❤
Could you please say where you are and what zone you are in, thank you
I love in Virginia, zone 7
Beautiful job! Can’t wait to see the new path take shape! I wonder what underground treasures you’ll find over there 😂 Thanks Whitney Brenda🇨🇦
Yea me too🤔 hopefully nothing major lol
Hi Whitney !!Am zone 8A Norfolk VA ..My garden is 3 years old I learned to plant the tree root bulb above the ground ..I think u planted that tree too deep . Anyway the garden is looking beautiful and I see your vision...God bless you ❤
Thank you❤️ I'm not sure, but i will check the tree... and thank you for watching☺️
Looks nice
Thanks! ☺️❤️☺️❤️
I planted a sand cherry tree ..it's growing well. I love the leaves. The flowers are so dainty. It's only a few years old.
I can't wait to see it in the spring! ☺️❤
@creatingyourgarden I always wish for a dress fabric like it ... purple with those dainty flowers 🌺
No e clearance haul! Beautiful plants 👍 Interested to hear the Obsidian ones had issues... I have planted those and they are doing well...in an irrigated garden. Also planted many of the Bronze Wave variety as plugs last spring...most are growing well and sizing up. The ones in wetter areas are stunted it seems ..too wet I suppose
Nice ..
@@ericjorgensen8028 bronze wave 🤔 i'll have to look that one up... as far as the obsidian Coral Bells go, probably user error lol the garden is not on drip irrigation and sometimes I forget to water LOL
Love it! What do you have in the black pot behind you over to the right when you were pulling out the Tri Color Beech tree? I’ve seen those pillars in many of your videos in the past and now knowing what they are & what you will do with them is so cool! I love how resourceful you are. I’m thinking of all the garden channels I watch faithfully, I believe yours is the only one who has me looking forward to what you will do over the winter! lol. I know that is when you are able to clear brush and clean areas out because of the snake issues y’all have over the summer. Just letting you know that I’m looking forward to it. While I dream about mine and what direction to take next over those long, seemingly never ending cold, winter months- I’ll get my fix being a sub to your channel! 😃😊♥️
Thank you ☺️💕 I'm looking forward to the winter time as well so I can clear out a large area hopefully... one of the most venomous snakes in Virginia breeds in the fall so it's just safer in easier in the winter when everything has died back to clear the land. The pot contained fall gold raspberries. And thank you for watching Stacy❤️
Whitney what is the name of the lime grasses by Coral Bells, lovvvve them
I’m not 100% sure, but I believe those are a carex grass called Evergold. But don’t quote me. Hopefully Whitney can tell you! 😊
@staceyallard2692 thank you. I bot Hachanochoa grass this year and lovvvvve it. Whitney's is the same color.
@@staceyallard2692you are absolutely right Stacy!❤
Evergold carex grass. Their evergreen in my area. I love them!
Love the pillars. That sand cherry is beautiful n always love the coral bells 💕🌿🙏🏼
Thank you!❤
Love the coral bells, beautiful pop of color. The sand cherry looks perfect. Both plants add a lot of color and texture to your garden. The pillars look awesome. I hope you are enjoying your garden, it is looking beautiful.
Thank you! ☺️❤️☺️❤️
That will look great in spring 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💕👍🏼
