We started a new garden! || Native Plantings

- In today's episode, my husband and I plant some native grasses and flowers. This takes place in two different garden areas: Eastwick Garden and the Archway Garden - which I guess I need to rename to the Arbor Garden. I also need to give a shoutout to Jeremy Brown and my husband Derek Brown, who helped me dig out weeds, dig holes, and plant the new plants! It's been hot for a while now and even thought this was several weeks ago, it was very hot that weekend, too. I've planted the following:
- Switchgrass
- Canada Wildrye
- Side Oats Grama
- Pale Purple Coneflower
- Tennessee Coneflower
- Butterfly Weed
- Pink Muhly Grass 'Pink Cloud'
- There are also some volunteer asters mixed in, I've added some primroses, and there are some non-natives like verbena and daylilies.
Thanks for watching!

I really appreciate your upcycled plant pots. It’s great to see those items get at least one more life before hitting the trash can 😁
Thank you! I love reusing things when possible. :) I also save the pots from nurseries I buy from and use those for some outdoor winter sowing projects. It's nice to be able to use them over and over and grow new plants for cheap!
It’s going to be so beautiful!!!
Thank you so much! I'm very excited to see more native grasses in my garden instead of boring old invasive bermuda turf! ;)
Gorgeous soil 🤎
I hope the plants grow well in it. :)
Wow great sharing thank you ❤
Thank you for taking time to watch and to leave a comment! :)
I’m eager to see how the pink muhly grass does. I saw a lot of it in Florida but not much here in Tennessee.
I'm excited to see, too. I think I've seen some on the West end of town here, and it was huge and beautiful!
Nice vid! Thanks for sharing. I like seeing what others are doing in different regions/areas. Just subbed so I can see what's next!
Thank you! Happy Gardening!
I hope the plants do well for y'all! It's been hot and dry over here, but things are still growing well!
The echinacea is definitely growing already, and it's only been a few weeks. This heat is insane. I will be watering a little more than planned, but only the new baby plantings. :) I hope you have videos of your gorgeous garden on TH-cam. If so, I'm going to check them out.
@@awildapproach that's great! I don't ... yet lol I've been meaning to film some, but I get too nervous/embarrassed/etc. I need to just do it though - the summer vids get me through the winter!
@@paragraph_meadow Have fun with it. You can do it how you want. Most of my videos don't show myself much. I do lots of voiceovers, though. You could even do without the voiceovers and type up text instead. Lots of people love those videos and consider them very calming. Especially if you can record some bird song to go along with it! :) It gets easier as time goes on. Yes, the summer videos are so nice to watch in the winter. 🌻
I have some giant grubs in my container garden. Unfortunately the racoons found out and keep digging up my peppers. I was looking at all the pollinators on my Virginia creepers that are flowering now and thought you should tell the creeper haters about that the next time they complain about all of yours. Everything looks great.
Thank you! Exactly :) As for the container peppers, can you put in some chicken wire around them on the soil and cut a hole for the pepper stem? That way the critters can't dig. Or try using some pebbles or rocks as mulch in your containers to prevent digging. It may not work, but worth a try?
2:33 A huge grub I think, what is it going to become? I could just google it, but comments are good for your video. 🙂
I don't know, but I'm glad you commented! Haha! Maybe a beetle of some kind? Truly not sure.
It could be a Japanese beetle. Hopefully not though
