Hello Tracy, Your garden moves me to 'tears'. It is so gorgeous, the colors I love, and the use of hydrangeas, etc. Is out of this world. Do you have floral experience? Combination of color, space, textures, heights, everything looks so professional! I certainly will keep watching your 'videos'. If you have not had alot of experience, then its "a gift from God". Please keep creating! Thank You, Laurene
Your videos have given me the courage to plant hydrangeas! Bought three over the last few weeks - an endless summer, a little lime and a quick fire! I love seeing your old videos and compare to the new ones and see how they’ve become! Love your videos and your garden! Also, I’m in Toronto so it’s so great to have a garden mentor that’s in the same zone!
So beautiful, healthy and colorful flowers love them all, makes my day just by watching your video, thank you for sharing, Abandant more Blessings! 😍🌺🙏
Fayah….”haunting”??? Oh dear….I filmed in early Friday morning - there was not a sound in our neighborhood….no one was up and about except for myself….😅 it did feel very quiet and serene…😁
Hi tracy beautiful garden, so relaxing to watch,,lots of hydrangeas, so many blooms,,gorges colors,i have one limelight tree type,it became so bushy, i am afraid to cut the branches,, but i saw your videos, i became a new subscriber,, learning new things, thanks for sharing .
Beautiful garden. I truly enjoy your videos. I see you got grasshoppers and the hydrangea foliage may have been eaten by them. One simple way, although not the best, is to sprinkle flour around the bed. The grasshoppers stomach will gum up and eventually die.
Truly Gorgeous and Gorgeous....i love it... Thank you for sharing your Beautiful Hydrangeas....Tracy. Have a great new week and all the best to you and family.
Hi! Tracy, thank you for the beautiful video today. Everything is beautiful, but especially the watermelon your daughter planted are very cute. Your daughter, good job!!
Thank you Hiro! My daughter planted the seed and is patiently waiting until it fruits 🍉. I don’t have the heart to tell her there is not enough space for the plant to grow and not enough days for the fruit to form. 😬
Caterpillars vs Earwigs - I'm not sure but when the caterpillars were around I would find them on my Hydrangea but oddly they were never chewing. Now that the resent rains have really brought the earwigs out there is munching damage. I just baited for them yesterday. Lots this year compared to last few years. Thank you for this peaceful tour while I have my coffee. Really appreciate you putting the names on the screen.
I think you are right about having more pests in the garden this year compared to previous years. I haven’t don’t anything to my garden soil to control pests yet….hope they don’t end up eating everything in my garden. 🤞💚🪴 If things do get worse, I may have to take some sort of gentle/mild action. Happy gardening Roxanne!
@@TracysHomeGarden I'm trying this for the first time so fingers crossed and the little terracotta pots look cute upside down. No one else will notice but I know they are there 😁. Just a tablespoon or so of the bait pellets then sink the upsidedown pot into the soil about halfway and water it in. 🤞🍀🎰 Dinner is served 😂🤣
Wow! To see the Grass Hopper on the coneflower brings back memories. I grew up in Maple(right near Wonderland) and we always had Grass Hoppers and Preying Mantis in the field behind us. I’ve seen 1 tiny Grass Hopper this year.
I do love that the plants attract insects and all. I let them eat the plants too - as long as they don’t eat the entire thing down to the ground like how they eaten my Queen Victoria lobelia. Thank you Cathryn! 💚🙏🪴
Hi Tracy, entire garden is gorgeous. I have just planted three hydrangeas. Let’s dance blue jangles, wee bit giddy, and another little quick fire addition to other two. Will send you some pictures as I have done some changes to the front garden. Have a peaceful Sunday. 🌹❤️🙏🏻
Thank you Vinitha! I would love to see how well the Wee Bit Giddy blooms from old wood. Yes, I’m looking forward to see how your garden has progressed this year. Happy Sunday Vinitha! 🪴🙏💚
Hi Tracy! I just subscribed to your channel today and i kind of did some marathon of your videos. I like how calming this video is and I really like your garden. How I wish I could design my garden even a little bit like yours but I do not have that skill. How do you know which plants to combine to create a very nice flower bed like that?
Hi 👋 Thank you for your kind comment! I think I just started with plants I like - colour, etc….and sort of play around with the plants….transplant and transplant until I like what I see. I think one cannot go wrong with their favourite plant combos. 💚🙏🌸. Give it a try and you’ll be surprised with the beautiful results.
Tracy, again, another beauty overload!!! Your eye and composition in the garden is absolutely incredible. While it is a small garden, it is lush, abundant, and prolific...a real feast for the eye and soul. When was this filmed, everything still looks so great? My poor garden is packed also, but A LOT of things have bloomed out and withered because of our oppressive heat and humidity in coastal Virginia zone 8a. I was pausing the video and taking notes the entire time. I love it, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Gina! Your comment is super sweet! 💚🙏🪴 I filmed the video on Friday morning. We have been greeting a lot of rain for the last few weeks so the hydrangeas are loving all that extra rain water. You are in zone 8….must be really hot 🥵 and the plants are probably showing it as well. I hope you get some rain and overcast sky soon ….sometimes our gardens need a little break from all the sun and heat. Happy gardening Gina! 💚🙏🪴
Beautiful.... i love hydrangea too i have the fire hydrangea standard tree and i'm attempted to make a tree off my pompom hydrangea :D thanks for the tips on how to do it.
Thank you Joyce. I only fertilize annuals - a little of slow release fertilizer at planting & soluble fertilizer every 7-10 days or so. The other plants that I fertilize are roses and clematis - during spring & at the end of the first flush. All hydrangeas get is a cup or so of used coffee ground or compost every spring and fall. The other perennials like salvias and daisies, may get a handful of compost every spring. I also mulch my garden beds so that also acts as a slow “release fertilizer”. The garden is about 4 years old.
That’s great..i just bought two and would like to try leaving them in pots on my porch like yours, do i need to water them in winter? Thank you for inspiring me 😊
No, if it’s able to get some snow/rain from nature. If not, you just have to water it before frost and check on it every 1 month or so making sure that everything is still “frozen” and somewhat “moist”.
Thank you Julie. I treated my Fire Light with a few tablespoons of garden sulfur and a cup of used coffee grounds. Both of these will help to acidify the soil long term. Last year I had a little bit of chlorosis on my Quick Fire standard (you may be able to see it in my videos last year 2020). I treated the Quick Fire with the same amount of garden sulfur and used coffee grounds in the fall of 2020 - it is now doing okay. The Fire Light now has leaves on the top of the branches - they are green (although the leaves below them are still showing yellow chlorosis)…so that means it is doing okay. This fall I’m planning on treating it again and it should be okay next spring. Hope that helps! 💚🪴💚
Hi Tracy, how do you keep your annual hanging basket looking great until this time. Do you fertilize them? Also I’m glad you put the names of the plants on the screen.
Hi Joy, I added a little bit of slow release to the baskets and feed them with water soluble fertilizer every 7-10 days. They are usually even better looking….(I think)….the constant rain we have been getting is making them a little leggy. Happy gardening! 💚🙏🪴
Hi Tracy, happy Sunday! All your plants are at its magical stage! Gorgeous! When you say a plant is west in your garden do you mean that it receives the west sun or the east sun? Thanks. All your hydrangeas are so much further ahead than mine! 🌸❤️🇨🇦
Hi Eileen, Plants on the east side of the back garden gets sun coming from the east side (morning sun) are a little ahead of the same plants on the other side. I think hydrangeas like full sun (but morning). It’s funny how hydrangeas are at various different stages - even those on our streets. I was in Vaughan last week and many hydrangeas there were already blooming. Whereas the plants in my harden have just started recently. Happy gardening Eileen!
Hi Tracy, Such a beautiful garden! I am in zone 3 (Winnipeg) and have recently purchased my first hydrangeas and was wondering if you could suggest the best orientation to plant them. We live on a property where there is full sun all day. Or I have a gazebo where I could plant them on the north side where they would receive sun for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening. I have a limelight, three firelight tidbits, two little quick fires, and two bloomstruck hydrangeas. Your garden of hydrangeas is my goal!! Thanks!
Hi Lindsay, In zone 3, the Bloomstruck may have a lot of winter dieback. With the shorter growing season, you may not get them to rebloom from new wood….so I would definitely plant these somewhere they get a lot of morning sun and and well protected from the colder winter…somewhere close to the foundation of the house for some extra radiant heat….or you can purchase one of the covers to cover the plant after the first frost. You can uncover them in spring…just so that you can protect some of the blooms on old wood. The panicle hydrangeas like Fire Light Tidbit and Lime Light will prefer more sun. They can do okay with 4’hours of sunlight but the more sun they get the better they will bloom. I hope that helps. Happy gardening Lindsay! 💚🙏🪴
Hello Tracy ,your garden is glorious , what is the size of your back garden you have a lot of plants trying to figure out how to get similar effect in my garden. Also love you pavers what stones are these do you know ? Thanks
Hi Maria, I believe the brand is Unilock. I don’t think they carry the same stone we chose any more. unilock.com/request-a-catalog/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwxdSHBhCdARIsAG6zhlWA_ph2JG3RbmY5JQLYYPjvVOEEZwFvUGQimcFK6d6Z2vDrevNk2ZQaAsrnEALw_wcB You can use the link attached to order a catalogue. The stone similar to what we have is called Windermere - Cliffside Grey. They also have a smooth non-texture stone as an option as well. If you are planning on doing your driveway - I don’t recommend using this textured stone surface as it’s hard to clear the snow using the machine. Our lot is only 40 ft wide and I have the garden spaced out 5 ft….which I regret as I think if I had to redo the garden - I would make it 6 ft. Another 1 ft would definitely give me enough room to space out some of the plants. All the best! 💚🙏🪴
Beautiful with my morning coffee. :-) Love your standard Hydrangea!! Did you train that yourself or buy as a standard already. I'd love to have one in a small bed of mine.
Thank you Melanie! I bought the Quick Fire as a standard as I wanted something that provides an immediate affect for the front garden. The two Lime Lights in the corners of the garden were created by me. And most recently I made a few Bobo standards and a Lime Light in the planter that I created last fall…at 05:31….if you have some patients it’s worth a try. I have tutorials on my channel for doing that as well. 💚🙏🪴
Your garden is absolutely stunning! How I wish I could have a garden like yours! Those beautiful hydrangea definitely caught my eyes! Questions about your hydrangeas, how long does it take to grow to the size you are showing? How much do you prune your hydrangea and when? Thanks.
Thank you Lijuan! The Garden is about 4 years old. Many plants are about 2-4 years old - some are younger as I do a lot of dividing to get them to fill in all the spaces in the garden. I pruned hydrangeas in the spring. You can go back to some videos back in April/May to follow though my gardening journey to see how the garden has changed up until now. 💚🪴🙏
So beautiful! And love the Bobo hydrangeas, how tall do they get? Vandermeer don’t have Anna’s magic ball:(. If anyone see it at any locations in Toronto. Please let me know:)
They must have sold out the Anna’s Magic Ball. You may have to check back next spring for them Dami. Did you call Valleyview in Markham to see if they have them? They had some in the spring as well. Also, Terra may have some as well. Bobo get about 2-3 ft tall and wide in our zone. Hope you find some to plant this Fall.
Hi Tracy,I am wondering is your let's dance is living in full shade or partial shade,how many hours does it need?I have the same one,only a few flowers,thank you!
The Blue Jangles actually get full sun 6+hours. The best place to plant them is in a location where they get full morning sun. Mine get so much afternoon sun that the foliage burns a little bit. I’m just lucky as our July has been rainy and overcast for the last two weeks so they are still looking lush. Was yours just planted last year? It could be that it had more winter dieback and few blooms from old wood had survive. Give it another year to get well rooted in before you decide to transplant it. Sometimes a plant needs 1-2 years to get properly grown into the space and bloom well. 💚🙏🪴
@@TracysHomeGarden thank you for your experience,mine is more than two years old,i guess i gave the wrong pruning,i pruned too much in last fall,besides,the location is not perfect,shade is a little bit more,i don't have enough place with good sunshine 🌼
Tracy your garden is stunning! I've added several hydrangeas in the past year. I have a question regarding standard hydrangeas. Do their trunks ever grow in height? What I thought was a 6ft hydrangea turned out to be 4.5ft tall after planting in ground. While the branches grow, I was hoping the trunk would extend up a bit over the year in height and width to sustain all that top growth. Your thoughts?
Thank you so much 😊 The trunk will not grow taller; however, the canopy will send out stems that will make the overall tree taller - reaching it’s max height of 6-8 ft. That is why when in the videos tutorial where I showed how I make hydrangeas trees, I recommend selecting the longest branch possible - as the stem (becomes the trunk) will not grow taller. Happy gardening! 💚🙏🪴
Hello I'm Bonny and live in your zone area. I'm looking for a hydrangea to grow behind my peonies that is full sun most of the day. Which one would you suggest. Love watching your videos!
Hi Bonny, How much space do you have and how tall would you like the plant to be? Do you prefer the cone like flowers? Lace caps? Colours and size of blooms? Early - mid - or late summer blooming? What about fall interest? 😁 Too many questions….but necessary to pick a perfect hydrangeas for the space.
@@TracysHomeGarden About 6ft tall. I have Annabelle now. I'm thinking white or pink. Early to mid-summer. I usually have garden tours around the end of June or early July. I have several spaces empty along the fence. I'm revamping an old 30 year old perennial bed. Hydrangeas are new to me. i worry about width and hardiness mostly.
Do you have another tree near by? If you already have trees then I say to go lower but without any other trees you should go for something that 6-8 ft tall. It will anchor the space better against all the boards of the fence. Also, how tall the hydrangeas get will also be affected by our growing zone. Hydrangeas in warmer southern garden zones 6/7/8 will definitely grow taller and bigger than our noerthern 4/5/6 zones. Incrediball are nice but they get somewhat floppy and I don’t think the growth habit will be nice next to peonies plants (which are already floppy in nature).
@@TracysHomeGarden it’s just that I have to listen with headphones and when the music hits that hard note it makes me grit my teeth. Lol … It’s pretty with out that hard note. Your garden is my favorite. Hydrangeas bloom is July and August what do you do for color in the Spring? I think your garden as it is now, is hues of green with predominance of white bloom and low pink blooms.
@@teresaharless5756 For the last 5 years, I planted over 700+ tulip bulbs in the ground for early spring blooms (before the salvias bloom). The tulips varieties I like don't seem to come back very well for me. I only got some to come back and I can't seem to figure out why. This year, I planted some rock cress from seeds in the back garden (planted them in one of my recent videos) for April/May blooms. In the front garden I planted some primrose and English daisies as well for early blooms. They are being eaten up by the pill bugs (so not sure if they will survive to come back for me next spring). I'm also going to place some tulips in my cold room through the winter and plant them in containers come late winter for spring blooms.

And most recently I made a few Bobo standards and a Lime Light in the planter that I created last fall…at 05:31….if you have some patients it’s worth a try. I have tutorials on my channel for doing that as well. 💚🙏🪴
@@TracysHomeGarden Thanks Tracy! I'll check out your tutorial. My local nurseries never seem to have standard hydrangeas :-( May have to check online.
Your garden is absolutely stunning! How I wish I could have a garden like yours! Those beautiful hydrangea definitely caught my eyes! Questions about your hydrangeas, how long does it take to grow to the size you are showing? How much do you prune your hydrangea and when? Thanks.
Thank you Lijuan!
The Garden is about 4 years old. Many plants are about 2-4 years old - some are younger as I do a lot of dividing to get them to fill in all the spaces in the garden. I pruned hydrangeas in the spring. You can go back to some videos back in April/May to follow though my gardening journey to see how the garden has changed up until now. 💚🪴🙏
So beautiful! And love the Bobo hydrangeas, how tall do they get? Vandermeer don’t have Anna’s magic ball:(. If anyone see it at any locations in Toronto. Please let me know:)
They must have sold out the Anna’s Magic Ball. You may have to check back next spring for them Dami.
Did you call Valleyview in Markham to see if they have them? They had some in the spring as well.
Also, Terra may have some as well.
Bobo get about 2-3 ft tall and wide in our zone.
Hope you find some to plant this Fall.
@@TracysHomeGarden thanks for ur info！ terra doesnt have and need to wait till next spring。i willcheck with valleyview next week：）
Hi Tracy,I am wondering is your let's dance is living in full shade or partial shade,how many hours does it need?I have the same one,only a few flowers,thank you!
The Blue Jangles actually get full sun 6+hours. The best place to plant them is in a location where they get full morning sun. Mine get so much afternoon sun that the foliage burns a little bit. I’m just lucky as our July has been rainy and overcast for the last two weeks so they are still looking lush.
Was yours just planted last year? It could be that it had more winter dieback and few blooms from old wood had survive. Give it another year to get well rooted in before you decide to transplant it. Sometimes a plant needs 1-2 years to get properly grown into the space and bloom well. 💚🙏🪴
@@TracysHomeGarden thank you for your experience,mine is more than two years old,i guess i gave the wrong pruning,i pruned too much in last fall,besides,the location is not perfect,shade is a little bit more,i don't have enough place with good sunshine 🌼
And now I have to go buy more hydrangeas...
Tracy your garden is stunning! I've added several hydrangeas in the past year. I have a question regarding standard hydrangeas. Do their trunks ever grow in height? What I thought was a 6ft hydrangea turned out to be 4.5ft tall after planting in ground. While the branches grow, I was hoping the trunk would extend up a bit over the year in height and width to sustain all that top growth. Your thoughts?
Thank you so much 😊
The trunk will not grow taller; however, the canopy will send out stems that will make the overall tree taller - reaching it’s max height of 6-8 ft. That is why when in the videos tutorial where I showed how I make hydrangeas trees, I recommend selecting the longest branch possible - as the stem (becomes the trunk) will not grow taller. Happy gardening! 💚🙏🪴
Thank you, I have been watching how tall limelight can get i want to find a hydrangea can grow very tall but not the oak leave.
I think mine has gotten to a “max” height of 7 ft. Happy gardening Tara! 💚🙏🪴
Curious, what type of petunia self sowed??
They are all varieties not from Proven Winners. If you are in Canada - you may recognize them as they are varieties I got from Canadian Tires. 💚
Hello I'm Bonny and live in your zone area. I'm looking for a hydrangea to grow behind my peonies that is full sun most of the day. Which one would you suggest. Love watching your videos!
Hi Bonny,
How much space do you have and how tall would you like the plant to be? Do you prefer the cone like flowers? Lace caps? Colours and size of blooms? Early - mid - or late summer blooming? What about fall interest? 😁 Too many questions….but necessary to pick a perfect hydrangeas for the space.
It's along back of my fence line. Probably 5-6 ft. I'm debating Incrediball or Little lime or if I should go taller.
@@TracysHomeGarden About 6ft tall. I have Annabelle now. I'm thinking white or pink. Early to mid-summer. I usually have garden tours around the end of June or early July. I have several spaces empty along the fence. I'm revamping an old 30 year old perennial bed. Hydrangeas are new to me. i worry about width and hardiness mostly.
Do you have another tree near by? If you already have trees then I say to go lower but without any other trees you should go for something that 6-8 ft tall. It will anchor the space better against all the boards of the fence.
Also, how tall the hydrangeas get will also be affected by our growing zone. Hydrangeas in warmer southern garden zones 6/7/8 will definitely grow taller and bigger than our noerthern 4/5/6 zones. Incrediball are nice but they get somewhat floppy and I don’t think the growth habit will be nice next to peonies plants (which are already floppy in nature).
@@TracysHomeGarden Thanks Tracy. I was just out at the garden and think I have room for 3. Thinking firelight, limelight.
👍👍👍
💯👍
How much for a two bedroom
😀😀😀
Very annoying music, but love your garden.
Thanks for letting me know Teresa!
@@TracysHomeGarden it’s just that I have to listen with headphones and when the music hits that hard note it makes me grit my teeth. Lol … It’s pretty with out that hard note. Your garden is my favorite. Hydrangeas bloom is July and August what do you do for color in the Spring? I think your garden as it is now, is hues of green with predominance of white bloom and low pink blooms.
@@teresaharless5756 For the last 5 years, I planted over 700+ tulip bulbs in the ground for early spring blooms (before the salvias bloom). The tulips varieties I like don't seem to come back very well for me. I only got some to come back and I can't seem to figure out why.
This year, I planted some rock cress from seeds in the back garden (planted them in one of my recent videos) for April/May blooms. In the front garden I planted some primrose and English daisies as well for early blooms. They are being eaten up by the pill bugs (so not sure if they will survive to come back for me next spring). I'm also going to place some tulips in my cold room through the winter and plant them in containers come late winter for spring blooms.
