Thank you Robin for sharing. I really enjoy your garden tour. So many interesting plants. Can’t wait for the next video.
Deers here in southwest Nova Scotia eat astilbe to the ground! After two seasons of trying to grow astilbe I ripped them out because deers just won’t leave them alone. Deers love hosta and peonies too. Ripped out both hosta and peonies. Deer eat echinacea, black eyed Susan’s, tickseed and coreopsis, goats beard, Solomon seal. Ornamental grasses are pretty safe. It’s actually Karl forrester grass not Karl foster. Columbine is a deer favourite here, right to the ground. Bee balm is not deer resistant at all. The deers seem to love bee balm here.
Luckily no deer pressure here. Auto correct stinks sometimes 🤣
Beautiful flowers Robin! 👍❤️🌻
Thx for watching!
Really enjoyed your video it was very informative. I live in England in the county of Kent. We have mild weather here. I was looking for a purple shrub for my front garden and you have given me some ideas. I'm off to the garden centre now. Thank you again I shall visit your site again!
Sounds great!
You have a beautiful garden Robin but I don't see a lot of benches to appreciate all your great views and hard work. Bonny
lol!!!!!
Big Kiss is my favorite, SOUTH GEORGIA PEACH 🍑
I’m amazed that you remember all these plant names!!
I also have tags on everything 😀
Beautiful gardens! Thank you for sharing. Why are so many of your roses growing in pots? What do you do with them in winter? I have to pull and destroy several of my David Austin’s due to rose rosette. I’m inspired to add a few back to my garden and grow in pots to avoid disease. I would love your input on how you manage your potted roses. Also what zone are you? Many thanks!
Most of my roses are zone 4 so they can stay out. We have lots of voles so I kept losing roses in the ground.
5.21 where did you get that cool garden globe stake?
And the one with Diana's delight
That’s actually a support tower. Had it a long time ago might have gotten it at Hollandia in CT
Thanks Robin,just in awe of
thx for watching!
Enjoyed the tour! Gorgeous gardens!
Thank you!
Such a delight to watch your garden,thanks for sharing Robin
Thx for watching. Full tour up Friday.
I need to know if the regular Shrub (not the standard) is grafted onto anything? Because I took cuttings from mine and have 7 new saplings starting. A root graft controls size. So if my cutting grow huge, I’ll need to know,
No not grafted
I believe my year-old Walker's Low and Cat's Meow had spider mites, because the leaves had white dots on them and when I shook the plant on white paper, I could see them. I tried spraying with water, neem, and a recipe of rubbing alcohol, peppermint Castile soap, and water I'd found online, but in the end, they died. Leaves started with stippling, yellowed, browned, then died. I have another Walker's Low that is maybe 2 years old that has been fine until this year, but now it looks like it has spider mites, too, with that same white dot pattern on the leaves. This summer has been unusually hot. I'm in zone 7a. I had taken catmint cuttings to propagate, and even those plants have gotten mites. So far, they seem to be recovering by spraying the pests off with water. I love catmint, but I may substitute with salvia and lavender, which may be easier for me.
You have a beautiful garden. I love all the different flower beds.
Me too! Where do you garden?
@@letstalkgardeningwithrobin I am in the UK. I have recently converted half my lawn to garden beds and gravel paths. I love having the extra space for shrubs and perennials.
@@letstalkgardeningwithrobin I am in the UK. I have recently converted half my lawn to flower beds and gravel paths with stepping stones. I love having the extra space for more shrubs and perennials. The gardens in UK growing fast and lush, although we have had a lot of rain recently.
@@margaretsims4344awesome! We’ve also had a very wild and wet year here in Connecticut.
Everything looks great, I lenjoy the longer tours!
I was worried it was so long but it’s been so windy and it was calm for once!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden Robin ❤I love how expansive it is but still looks cohesive. I just wish more gardeners love your garden like I do.
Me too!
Your gardens are looking wonderful!! You have put in so much time and hard work in making them that way. Not always so easy, especially when you are doing the bulk of the work. Don't listen to the grumblers...they are probably just jealous!! I know you certainly do love gardening. Could you please tell me what the tall purple plant is @38:40. Thanks. Keep enjoying your garden... and continue your utube videos.
Purple Loosestrife I have had this for 20 years and mine is not the invasive type seen on roadsides.
@@letstalkgardeningwithrobin Thanks, Robin. I used to have this many years ago in another home. White Flower Farm reported the varieties they had were sterile, but no longer carry it
Beautiful garden. I really enjoyed your garden tour and appreciate you put name of the plants on screen. It is good for the beginner like me. Can’t wait for those 2 pinky winky to bloom this year.
It’s definitely a confusing year for judging bloom times. Thx for watching. 😀
Robin, so good to see you and thank you for the latest tour of your garden. I love being introduced to new plants - thanks to you, burnet is a new obsession. I think I will try winter sowing some seeds in 2025. I appreciate you telling it like it is with gardening - the good, bad and ugly. Gardening is hard work. I love plants, but I don’t love heat and humidity! I really enjoyed the video you did last year of a garden redesign/installation at a client’s home. More of that type of video would be interesting, if your clients are up for it. But, I never get tired of seeing your garden beds throughout the growing season. I do have a question about Double Play Blue Kazoo Spirea - when does it start to blue up for you? I’m in Zone 6b, Northeast Ohio. Thanks again for taking the time to share your knowledge and gardens with us.
I am just finishing a client install so I hope to show that. I find Blue Kazoo really gets bluer after the spring flowers. Thx for your comments!!
Hi Robin. Love your videos! My kousa tree is doing the same thing. Any info you find out would be appreciated. Thanks!,
My tree guy says it’s fine. Go figure. He just left.
Your garden is really beautiful and I really appreciate the variety of plants. I know you’re struggling to build an audience and in my humble opinion it seems like you don’t really enjoy gardening. You seem to complain a lot. That’s why I don’t get into your videos. Just my two cents. I wish you all the best.
Thx. I love gardening so not sure why you feel that way. Just don’t want to sugar coat the realities of gardening.
I don’t think someone with a beautiful garden like this would dislike gardening !!!! Really I know how much work goes into this Gezz ! How rude .
Amazing garden Robin! So much to see, love your stone paths. We need more of your gardens, you could try spotlighting just one or two areas at a time and going into more detail about the plants. A cutting garden, vegetable garden tour with a recipe or another spotlight on your containers, any lilies in containers this year? I have only found and squished a few red lily beetles this summer, my plants look good, hardly any damage. Have you noticed a decrease in the beetles this year? Keep creating content! Enjoy your weekend gardening.
Don’t forget I still have over 2 years of content on my page.
I just bought my first one from Lowe’s. It’s a standard and the tag says it is a zone 4. I believe the trunk is a different variety with the dappled willow at top. I wonder if the root/trunk makes it more cold hardy like roses?
Never saw that. Very interesting 🤔
i’m looking for the orange ones wish i could have your orange one
Primal Scream is typically readily available. Try Oakes Daylilies if you can’t find locally
I’m having trouble with my Nepeta as well. I bought it from a local nursery a week ago and the leaves have been wilting even after I watered them.
They don’t like too much water.
I cannot believe you do not have more subscribers for the quality of your content is outstanding. Perhaps, if when you end the video with music and various plants, if you could somehow get the plants to dance to the music, Just kidding of course. Your channel is a hidden gem and will email to friends and family. Great work!!!!
Wow, thank you!
I am a new subscriber as of today. Today is June 8, 2024 and my wife and I really got a kick out of “””suppressing some of the weeeeeeds””” at the 19:22 minute mark. Love your videos because we get to appreciate the various plants.
Thx for subscribing!!
Lovely garden😊
what kind of mulch is that your using in your bed.. sorry i see it but i want to get the type of mulch.
Sorry just seeing this now. A brown mulch I get locally called Cocoa.
i just seen your planting with the mesh or some kind of netting underneath .. thanks
does the mesh help when it comes to aerate the soil?
Critters 🤣
u r the best. love those peony rings. can i get some. donna
I don’t sell them. If you live it CT I’ll tell you where to get them.
thank you for the tip on cutting lilac.....wondered why mine did not open and last.
Cut up the base of the woody stem
Such a gorgeous garden. You must spend hours and hours in it. It's paying off.
Amazing garden, I love it and enjoy the tours.
Beautiful selection of evergreens, They are the bees knees.
You have a beautiful garden, Its the bees knees.
You really have so much knowledge to share! I loved your columbine from Select Seed. I looked up your Nora Barlow, it is so pretty! Everything is gorgeous! So inspiring!! Than you Robin!
Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Oh Robin what a gorgeous garden you have!!! Your hard work is really paying off!!
Funny someone said they thought I didn’t like gardening. 🧑🌾 go figure 🤔
Love your channel! Very informative and the garden is beautiful
Thank you so much!
I think your gardens are beautiful. I have a hard time watching your videos because you move the camera around so quickly, you talk about things that aren't in frame or are not focused on, and you don't always use the common name of plants. A lot of times, I can't even tell what plant you are talking about. I really want to see what you have going on in your gardens because I think you have so much information to offer... it is just a bit frustrating to try to follow. Please slow down and focus the camera on the plants that you are talking about.
Noted!
My one grown about 12 feet wide and the same in height
It looks like spider mites damage. Little white dots on new leaves is most sign.
So good to see you Robin! 😊
This is a therapy period
Beautiful! Happy Memorial Day!
I have several mugo pines, Robin…I don’t recall what varieties…but the best looking one is one that has been in a container for probably four years!
They are great in containers!!!agree totally!
Thanks for putting this together Robin! I have my list, now off to the garden center!!😊
Happy shopping 🌲
Good morning, Robin. At 15:40 there’s a cone-shaped black swirl obelisk. Would you mind sharing where I could get one or two? Thanks for the mini-evergreens featured. I’m going to get the Schmidtii, for sure. Possibly the SarahRachel as well. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’ve had that obelisk a long time do no clue sorry! Glad to be inspiration 😀
Gardener’s Supply has some nice ones. Check them out.
