This deck is simply gorgeous. 🎉🎉🎉. I envy you. 😂😂😂
Thank you!!
I admire your garden so much. I found your channel a couple years ago & I thought I had subscribed but then I stopped getting your videos. I recently found you again through Janey’s channel, & thought oh, I remember her. It was then that I realized I was not subscribed. I am now! I have a small 35x20 ft courtyard east facing back garden, full sun. My front garden is even smaller (full shade), just lining my walkway & a small bed against my neighbors house. I loved seeing how you positioned your pots. I love your bucket planter, it’s on my wish list. Oh, I only do container gardening. I’m excited to see how you are gardening in a small space.
🪴❤️🪴
I’m glad you found your way back here!! What are some of your favorites your growing in containers this year?
@@ChicagoGardener each year I have new favorites. This year I’m just loving echinacea and the alliums in the spring were spectacular. ❤️🪴 Of course I have many others that I just love. 💕
Very beautiful colors and collection. Trying to put my colors and collection together. Frustrating with this heat. 🥵Thanks for sharing.
The heat came much earlier and had been so intense this year! Both my plants and I have not enjoyed it 😆
This is so magical!!
Thank you so much!
I have fire light tidbit and let's dance rave (both at least 2 years old, both containers, both morning sun only). My let's dance rave broke dormancy in mid Feb and my tidbit in the beginning of April. My tidbit is currently forming it's panicle buds. I think tidbit just starts later. I'm zone 10, no frost, so our plants start earlier than other zones with frost.
Omg I’m jealous of how long a growing season you have!
The deck garden is looking great. Thank you for sharing. Soil Ph can impact the availability of iron in the soil. If you find yourself constantly adding iron, then you might want to check the soil Ph. Iron availability is lowest in soils with a pH between 7.5 and 8.5. My wife and I discovered this when we were adding soil acidifiers to help our "blue' hydrangea regain the blue (now pink) flowers. Lowering the Ph had the bonus of also fixing the chlorosis issue.
Thank you so much!! I’m going to check if I keep having to add more iron.
That deck is fabulous. It makes me smile!
Thank you so much!
I’m a new subscriber from the NW suburbs of Chicago. I so love your roof top garden. Your hard work pays off of how beautiful your garden is. Where is your go to garden center in the Sheffield area? When we use to live in the Roger’s park area in the late 80’s I go Gethsemane Garden which was just across Edgewater Hospital that closed a while ago. I hope you don’t mind, but you look like Princess Kate Middleton of Wales. 😊
I have been told I look like her before! Gethsemane is my go to even though it’s not in the Sheffield neighborhood just because of how large it is. A good one close by us is Jayson Home and Garden.
I need that apricot statice. I'm glad you're giving cupcake cosmos a chance. They're beautiful
It’s such a pretty color!
Absolutely stunning and beautiful ❤❤❤ I can't wait to see how my asters do after seeing yours so pretty!! The hydrangeas are magnificent 😊
Thank you! I’m so excited for the aster varieties this year.
It's absolutely stunning 🌸💕🌝👍
Thank you so much!
So much beauty I love your garden.
Thank you so much!!

My Fire Light Tidbit is just starting to set buds. It’s planted in the ground in full sun. It’s in its third year and has bloomed very well and so impressed with its bloom color even in its first year. I’m located near Niagara Falls so similar zone.
Niagara Falls! That’s on my bucket list to visit.
@@ChicagoGardener I'm on the Canadian side (which is better anyway. Haha). Yes, come. Lots of beautiful gardens too.
You made me start gardening again.Have you tried growing foxgloves ?
I haven’t yet but they’re on my list!!
So pretty!
Thank you!!
Just discovered your page and I’m in love with your garden. I will have a small patio backyard garden and the vision I have is exactly what you have! Absolutely gorgeous and fun for a small space garden. I’m so excited for what my garden will look like. ♥️ what are those little black pads your pods are sitting on? Can you please share!
That’s so exciting, you’ll have to let me know what you end up planting! The black pads under the pots are lifts to keep it from sitting directly on the wooden deck. I get them from Amazon: amzn.to/3VVOqYN
Thank you for sharing!!! I can’t wait. 😊😊😊 I will definitely be watching you for more inspiration. Your garden is so dreamy. 🤤
Were all (or most) of your flowers planted from seed? Beautiful! ❤
I’d say about half and half. Everything in the back raised beds and dahlia/zinnia border were started from seed inside!
Beautiful
Thank you!
I started flower gardening during Covid. I never got into because I am scared of spiders and bugs but I have slowly become better. My question is how do control spiders? I moved my bench’s out of my patio because with all the plants there are lots of spiders.
I can’t promise this will work for everyone, but gardening has made me less afraid of the insects I used to be afraid of! I would run from bees and spiders but now they don’t bother me at all. A poisonous spider would be a different story though…
Love it !!! 😍😍😍
Thank you!
I planted white & rose gomphrena next to one another. Now I have a blush colored gomphrena blooming. Go figure?
But even if they cross pollinated that should only impact the seeds, not this year’s flowers!
@@ChicagoGardener Agree
It’s so funny with how they’ve turned out this year 😆
Hi, love your garden! My white big leaf hydrangea leaf starting turning yellow with dark green veins. What kinds of iron do you add to yours?
I use this: amzn.to/3WkGl1h I’ve done two applications and the leaves already look even better than they did when I filmed the tour!
Where do you get your plant supports? The ones in the dahlia pots look sturdy. I'm always on the lookout for the perfect plant support.
Those are from Home Depot and they are my favorite! I swear if I get similar cages anywhere else, they aren’t as good quality. If you google “Home Depot 19” plant cage” it should come up
@@ChicagoGardener Wonderful! Thank you!
My begonias really suffered in that heat wave, too- the ones in more sun anyway. My dragon begonias in the shade did better than the ones like yours. I had to rip out one begonia plant because the stems were complete mush. :(
They were definitely not prepared for the heat! Luckily it’s been a bit better the last week or so and they seem to be recovering.

Thank you!!
Hello ! I ‘d like to know what doyou do with your perenials during the winter ?! , in Chicago ?
Some stay outside if they’re cold hardy enough. My raspberries, rhubarb, coneflowers and rudbeckia have all survived winter on the deck uncovered. Anything more tender that I care a lot about gets moved to the garage. What happens once those plants get to large to carry down, I’m not sure 🤣
Beautiful garden. Have a question, I have planted a dwarf hydrangea and in another pot a at last rose, can I leave them out thru winter, I live in central Iowa? Thanks so much
What is your growing zone? The recommendation is not to leave perennials outside over winter in containers unless they are hardy two zones below your growing zone.
@@ChicagoGardener I am a 5b
If you have a shed or garage, I would put them there! I move mine to the garage over winter and fhey do great.
@@Lemons2050I am on zone 5b. I have a PW Bobo hydrangea and a Monrovia Diamond hydrangea that is on 22 in and 36 in container placed on my patio planted in 2020. I overwinter covering the plant with fall leaves and in spring I do a hard pruning and gives me plenty of blooms to appreciate every summer.
I might do the black eyed susan vine next year instead of the morning glory. If the morning glory doesn;t bloom, she is OUT of my 2025 garden!
That’s what I’m thinking for next year too 😬 my morning glory has never bloomed consistently.
I am just curious. What is underneath your deck? Does it just drop to the ground underneath?
Our house! The decks are on the roof. There is a space between the decking and the roof where the water flows down the drain.
@@ChicagoGardener omg duh! Rooftop gardening like you always say LOL.
