Oh yes! Please! I would love to visit what’s blooming each week! I always tell my husband that whatever is blooming at the time, is my favorite plant! I get excited to see blooms! ❤
Weekend bloom updates would be so delightful!! I love how original your channel is, and how you create different structures for your yard and garden beds. Thanks for sharing these beautiful flowers with us Olga. 💝💮🌸
Firmly agree with the weekly walk through. You have so many different beautiful and unique areas of your garden both sides, front of the house, and the back it will be a pleasure to see them all as they unfold :)
Weekly updates and garden walk would be great. Really anything you decide to do is great. I enjoy your videos and because of you have gotten so far 5 David Austin roses and have room for 4 or 5 more, actually making room for 4 or 5 more. Thanks for your inspiration.
Oh my gosh, your peonies are just stunning! I can’t believe how big they are! And yes, I would love to visit your garden more through weekly garden updates.
Oh my goodness! Yes I am a huge fan of regular garden updates… it’s so helpful to see a garden regularly thro out the year. The clematis and Rose combination tip is something I needed to hear. I have been considering but was hesitant.
Yes please for the regular garden updates!! Love your garden 😍 mine is still in the beginning stage since I started just this year (it was just a lawn before) so it's nice to get some inspiration and just admire it ☺️
I love the updates, I take my cup of coffee and sit for with my 3 yorkies and enjoy your videos. You have such beautiful garden and every time I watch a video I find something I missed seeing in your lovely garden. You are such a talented person Olga so creative. Thank you for sharing your garden and your ideas. 🙂🪴 I love that pot you made for your hosta 🙂
Thank you Kay, I love that morning coffee, I limit myself to only one cup a day, and it is definitely good to combine that coffee with morning garden walk. If it would be up to you, what time and day of the weekend would you want to see "Weekly garden walk" to air? Thank you!
@@OlgaCarmody oh Olga anytime is good for me I do like the morning walks. I limit my coffee or tea to one cup also, usually in the morning as I get up around 530am. I watch your videos all the time and has I said before I always find something I missed. 🙂🪴
I absolutely adore the way in which you interact with your garden / plants , makes me smile😊 !!! Any time in your garden , I would consider time well spent , so weekend updates , great idea!!! 💙 And I must add how incredible your gardens are looking ! (Really excited to see your newest build too)
Love your garden tours Olga. Can't wait for my David Austin roses to bloom. We haven't had any rain for weeks here either. Bonny zone 5b, Ontario, Canada
Would be lovely to see a weekly view of your garden. The garden changes so fast. I do have one suggestion. Could you show close ups of your roses? I would have loved to see your generous gardener rose 😀. Thanks for the tour.
Love your garden up date 😊 I planted Lady of Shalot last autumn and she has buds. I'm very excited about that. I also planted Mme Alfred Carrière, she has her first blooms and oh my goodness the fragrance leaves you light headed. Incredible. Have a lovely weekend 🙂
Weekly updates would be a dream olga! My vanessa bell has been in a pot 3 years this year..its the best rose i have! I have used a few canes to stake it. Mine is smelling beautiful with just 1 bloom at the moment but many buds are showing too
I have a good number of blind shoots on my hybrid teas this year. I attribute that to not watering early enough in the season. So now I must cut further down the shoots. Lovely 'Lady of Shallot'!
@@OlgaCarmody I've been growing them for 25 years. My opinion differs because I live in cold weather and usually don't have this problem. Hybrid teas really need to be fed and deeply watered as soon as they break dormancy otherwise; it results in a majority of blind shoots.
@@OlgaCarmody Olga, there's a difference between cold weather and a hard frost. Nightime frosts will zap/damage new shoots for sure and it's possible (but not proven) that a hard frost will also result in blind shoots. It's one thing when a rose has a minority of blind shoots and yet another when the majority of them are without bud. Like you said...just cut the shoot to accelerate the process of it forming new ones. It will eventually form new ones on its own anyways if it's not cut. Feeding and deep watering once per week for the first 4 weeks after breaking dormancy will result in fewer blind shoots, in my experience. The exception being to avoid watering on a day or evening when there are nightime frost warnings in the forecast.
Hi, Olga. I love how you show us your roses as though you are introducing dear personal friends! So delightful ❤ Your David Austin roses look so healthy. Here in Australia (zone 10a) D.A roses grow much bigger than in colder northern zones. Unfortunately, The Generous Gardener does not seem to be available here😢 I would absolutely love weekly updates, with lots of close ups, please😊It would be lovely to watch the garden develop week by week. Any video you post is a treat!💐🌸🌹
Please let him know he does an absolutely splendid job of filming you and the garden with a steady hand and a great eye. I for one greatly appreciate what he does and I’m sure everyone else does, too. It is an “invisible “ role but an important one. You are a great team.😊
Clematis are pretty hardy if that is the complaint. I'm in USDA zone 5b near Niagara Falls. I give them rose food in the spring. Group 1 early spring bloomers may be harder to grow in cooler climates. Group 2 Large Early Flowering seem to be fine here and repeat Bloom around August. Group 3 are the kind you cut (or they die) to the ground. Patience is needed as they grow back from the roots and can be slow to emerge. I do have Multi-blue which grows into my climbing rose. They seem to get along. They need more sun than you might think.
Yes, I would love to see a weekly update on your roses and hydrangeas. Three of my David Austin roses died over the winter.they were five years old. I am so upset. They looked poorly last summer but still had some blooms. I’m not here in New England in the spring so I can’t prune them every year and keep them healthy. I also have three lady of shallot roses that grew way too tall last year because I couldn’t prune them in the spring. I cut them back half way last fall and they survived but but had some die back so I had to cut back some of the canes further in early May. Now they are starting to grow new shoots from the base of the roses but they are still very young and tender so I hope they can survive. Should I dig up the three dead roses? Is it true you cannot replant roses where previous roses have died? I have heard there is something called replant disease which can kill roses if you plant them in the same spot where other roses died but wasn’t sure if this was true.I don’t have all the space in my yard that you do and only have limited places to plant roses . I would appreciate any advice you have. Your roses are beautiful!
HI Willow, we had such a hard summer here in Northern US, that many plants were going into winter already stressed. By now, if there is no life in your dead plants, I would take them out. And if you worry about replant disease, just take that soil with roots out and put it somewhere else in the garden, even better switch soils since your garden is small. And plant a new rose! Happy gardening!
In re: clematis and roses -- Decades ago, I fenced in the side yard to the kids could run and play and my wife and I would not worry about anyone running into the street. Then she decided to decorate the fence with clematis. They did not thrive, so the next year I claimed a portion of the fence where they had failed. I planted some roses and they took off and prospered without much attention. This was a Zone 6 location; I have no idea whether the climate played a part or not. Since then, I have never planted another clematis.
I wonder where it came from that clematis which love sweet soil and roses which thrive on slightly acidic soil, would be good companions. I have a book about roses and clematis, will read it.
Hello Olga, behind the Olivia rose, what plants are on the fence, perhaps Prunus Laurocerasus? I'm at the very beginning of gardening and I'm trying to create privacy in the area of the fences.
We took a vote. 😉 We love your garden updates. Those peonies are spectacular and your roses are stunning. Question: what is that green draping plant to the left of your climbing Pink Knockout Rose? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those.
Good morning Olga . Thank you for sharing . May I ask the name of the small plants surrounding your Lady of Shallot ? Boxwood ? and those pink peonies stunning ! what are they ?
Your garden is lovely, and I've planted two Lady of Shallot together in hopes of recreating your display. Can you please tell me which varieties are growing in the pots on your deck, and do you keep them out all Winter?
You mean roses in pots? I don't grow roses in pots. There are a lot of sedums on my back patio. This year I am trying to grow stuff from seeds. I can't keep clay pots outside, but keep plastic pots out on the patio through the winter. When all the plants are blooming on my porch, I would give a tour and name all the plants. Thanks.
Hello. Love your videos and always look forward to seeing them. Your garden is so pretty. I have a question about Lady of Shalott. This will be it's second year and in early spring it sent out lot's of new stems and foliage but no buds. They were all blind canes. I cut back all the blind canes and it produced all new growth but no buds. All blind canes again. It's in full sun and gets the same water and fertilizers as my other roses which are all blooming. What do you think is the problem. Thanks for any suggestions. Also would love weekly garden tour's.
Hm, I really don't know that cause. I am going to the meeting of CT rose society today and will ask all the rosarians this question. I will get back to you on this thread. Thanks.
Hi Olga, The first peony that you showed I don’t think it’s coral charm that looks more like Sarah Bernhard to me… Am I right? The second one in the front of your house what is the name of that dark magenta one? Is that Felix Crouse? It is so strange that we have all the same roses and plants in our gardens we must have the same taste…
I rechecked my labels, the front one, dark magenta is double peony "Kansas", and the other one is Coral Charm, unless it was mislabeled during purchase from Home Depot many years ago.
@@OlgaCarmody thanks for your quick reply… I have two coral charms and don’t think they look like this. I also have Sarah Bernhardt (I have those also)and that’s what they look more like… Anyway it’s very beautiful large double peony! I admired it immediately. I have Felix Couse -just planted this year -six of them -but I really like the Kansas which is similar but I think I like the Kansas a little more so I was happy to find out that’s what it is that you planted there in the front so I got a good look at it. I will definitely keep my eyes out for it..
Hello, Olga!! I’m also from Ukraine. Just discovered your channel. Thank you so much for all this valuable information ❤❤❤. What zone are you in? I’m in 6a (pittsburgh PA) My Eden rose died back after winter. Even though it grew back , it’s heartbreaking. Do you protect it in winter somehow? Also, what do you use for insects and BS fungus? Thank you !!!
Hi Nataliya, slava Ukraini! My Eden rose lived through the winter, I am in zone 6b, borderline 7. I don't really protect roses for winter, my garden is well sheltered from strong winds though. I garden organically and use neem oil and horticultural oil mostly. There are some videos on my channel about them. Thanks!
Regular garden updates--- yes, please.
Thank you, will be doing it!
Yes please garden updates 😍 love to hear your problems in the garden too so we don’t feel too alone!
Aww, we all have our garden struggles, don't we...
Oh yes! Please! I would love to visit what’s blooming each week! I always tell my husband that whatever is blooming at the time, is my favorite plant! I get excited to see blooms! ❤
Great, the same, whatever is blooming, is the best!

Love the idea of weekly updates, we'll be able to share in the growth and changes as they happen. Thanks!
Wonderful, it looks like people like this idea. I will be doing it on a regular basis for the weekend. Be well!
Your Knockout turned climber rose is just gorgeous!
Yes please to regular updates!
I would love to see updates every week!

Awww, thank you. Those peony blooms are fast passing but they are impressive!
Yes please!!!
Vote taken, definitely!
Oh my goodness! Yes I am a huge fan of regular garden updates… it’s so helpful to see a garden regularly thro out the year.
The clematis and Rose combination tip is something I needed to hear. I have been considering but was hesitant.
I am going to investigate who in the world puts those two plants together with such different soil requirements.
Yes please for the regular garden updates!!
Love your garden 😍 mine is still in the beginning stage since I started just this year (it was just a lawn before) so it's nice to get some inspiration and just admire it ☺️
Thank you Daria. Your garden will get mature bones in several years, next year all your perennials will be so much better!
I loved your video. It gives me inspiration and ideas!
The garden is absolutely beautiful!!

Thank you, Kathleen. You are right, I should have filmed the close up. Will definitely do it in the future videos.
A rosarian told me blind shoots can be caused by midge. Love your roses.
Thank you!
Love your garden up date 😊 I planted Lady of Shalot last autumn and she has buds. I'm very excited about that. I also planted Mme Alfred Carrière, she has her first blooms and oh my goodness the fragrance leaves you light headed. Incredible. Have a lovely weekend 🙂
I hear so much about that Mme Alfred Carriere, that I am tempted to find a place (haha) for her in my garden.
@@OlgaCarmody 🤣 you really should
Weekly updates would be a dream olga! My vanessa bell has been in a pot 3 years this year..its the best rose i have! I have used a few canes to stake it. Mine is smelling beautiful with just 1 bloom at the moment but many buds are showing too
Thank you Davena, I have to use a bug spray before making my videos, otherwise bugs might eat me in front of you! Haha...
@Olga Carmody haha. I'd forgotten about those. I vet many other people would have forgotten too. We are too interested in your plants 💕
❤

@@OlgaCarmody Thank you and you too 😘
Olga, I need to know, what do you do for a living; I imagine you’re a teacher or professor. The way your produce content and information is so nice!
I was a teacher, you are right. Ha, I probably need to do a video about myself a bit.

Thanks for the Information. I'm going to cut it back again and see what happens.
Hello! What kind of catmint variety is that in your garden?
That is Walkers Low.
Hi Olga, I have a question about the distances between roses. How much distance do you usually leave between them? Thanks so much!
Those roses grow approx. 18 inches apart. That can be quite a small distance for some rosarians.
Dear Olga
What do you mean by saying blind shoot?
Greetings from Denmark, Scandinavia
By blind shoots, I mean the stems which don't produce flowers. They just grow big and tall. Thank you and happy gardening!
