  • Thanks for growing with us!
    It’s time for a garden check in! We want to keep sharing the changes as they come each week for the Spring. This week we are seeing more daffodils and leucojem blooms, so many plants waking up, and so many things still to come. After our walk around we have a really fun new tool to share.

    Again, need to comment on how very much i appreciate showing the names of all your plants! Thank you for being this precise for us.

      I could not agree more!! I often take screen shots of plants I might want to add to my garden and I sometimes forget to add the names in the caption. That is never a problem on the Grow for Me channel and I find I take lots of screen shots here because they showcase so many beautiful plants! 💚

    So that’s who’s been (probably) eating my lilacs! They just never seem to fill. We went and bought that deer spray you talked about in one of your videos and the sprayer that can be carried on our back (well, my wife’s back; my back still isn’t healed from a T12/L3 compression fracture in Feb.), We’re having a chicken wire fence built next week because I’m so frustrated with our little “visitors” using our garden as an “all you can eat Atlantic City buffet - David Rose”!

    Im always in awe of how quickly my gardens change. This time of year its daily. Im also in 5b/6a coastal southern maine..winter was really odd this year. I have a celery plant that overwintered! My fall mums from my favorite nursery overwintered. I seem to have lost a few echinacea .. which is weird.. although they could still come up.. lost a wigelia, a baptista and pretty sure my butterfly bush is dead. I always loose a few.. but these few suprised me. Oh I also FINALLY overwintered heather! One of my favorites that I usually by as an annual.. they just dont like our winter. I have a bunch of columbine that has spread, my Mondara is growing like gang busters.. I was actually pulling creeping Jenny and didn’t recognize the mondara in places I found it coming up.. so exciting!! I may have even pulled some with the creeping Jenny (DONT plant this 😂) Hummingbirds love it! Your gardens are stunning! I just love everything about them! Look forward to seeing it grow thru the season! Happy Gardening!

    @10:00 Grass growing underneath the fence... We make clay bricks (we have red clay about 8 inches down) and fill the holes to the top of the fence. The are porous so they drain and don't hurt the fence. We also put flashing about 18 inches vertically so critters don't dig underneath and go into the orchard, market, veg and potager gardens. So, you do what I do... yeah!

    I use brick under my fence, it works holding back the grass. Unfortunately, it will not hold back aggressive root systems, such as, raspberry bushes(my particular yearly battle) or most ground covers.

    It will be fun to see how your garden progresses! I am not proud of my answer to the question of the day; grass under your fence; it was a combination of a trimmer and round up.
