Please show up on camera “looking like this”. You are real and I love that! Most of us aren’t gardening in full hair and makeup 😊 You’re beautiful inside and out.
I just want to say how much I love your channel and listening to you! Three years ago when I was 70 years old, I moved from Austin, TX to Fort Worth, TX and bought an 80 year old house that weirdly enough had no garden beds. I just couldn't live that way and was too old to dig so started putting down cardboard and leaves hoping that eventually I would be surrounded by plants and flowers. The plan was successful thanks to inspiration and lessons from you, Jim Putnam, the Middle Size Garden, and Garden Answer! It is super hot and humid here so I have to get up early and garden before the heat moves in but everything is looking great in my garden which is mostly various salvias, native grasses, roses, and a few evergreens thrown in here and there. Thanks for sharing all your hard work, knowledge and being real!
Tiny Quick Fire.....maybe I should have purchased that one. I bought ONE Little Quick Fire and now in its 3rd or 4th? year established, that sucker is huge! It's trying to swallow up my patio. LOL! But it's my favorite panicle....more lacecap looking than the others....and I protect it from the deer like an armed sentry standing guard! Don't mess with my hydrangea!! It's the only one I have! Note: This is not the first video I've seen recently where the host shows up looking like a dirty, messy gardener. I'm loving this trend. It's so refreshing! Some hosts never have a single mascara smudge, but when I garden I look like someone who's been living under a bridge for six months! Keep it real! Real gardeners appreciate that!!
This was the cutest tour, the bunny the birds and bats all added to the story today. This tour was like walking with a friend hanging out in their garden. Loved it Erin💜
Paula, are you going to Jim’s open garden on the 22nd? I’ll be there, driving in from the coast! I’d go see Erin talk if I was local to her area in a skinny minute!!
@@heatherw.2751 I saw on Jim's Q & A video today Sunday June 9 that Jim and Steph are opening their garden for a few short hours on Friday mid afternoon June 21 for locals. I was not planning to go until I heard about the early hours on Friday. They are asking to not park on their dead end street if you are able to walk from another street that leads up to theirs. They want to leave their street parking for those who are not able to walk long distances. I am considering going now that Friday afternoon is open for locals.
To “pot up” is an example of what’s called a phrasal verb. “Phrasal verbs are two or more words that together act as a completely new verb with a meaning separate from those of the original words. For example, pick up means to grab or lift, very different from the definitions of pick and up alone.” So saying pot up or plant up is absolutely correct! ❤️💫🌱🌸🌱💫❤️
lol I love the fact that you are real! I do not know any gardener who when actually working n there garden does not look like you do and fyi you are beautiful doing it because it is real!👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼
The squirrels, the bunnies, the birds😂 the battle is real!! Now I know how I look replanting plants that the squirrels have dug up and chasing the bunnies around my house❤️
I live in Cleveland Ohio and my friend and i have discussed how we have, as a society, added 'up' to the end of many words. It drives her nuts! 😂 Great video! Thank you💚
Don't apologize, you look fine. We're gardening, not walking the runway. Oh, and the wildlife. . . especially the squirrels for me. The struggle is real! Your gardens are beautiful and an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
I love to freeze my garlic scapes! Diced up, line sheet pan with parchment paper, freeze about two hours and store in freezer bag. Love having these on hand especially in winter with soups and stews! This way they are not all clumped together.
You are the most down to earth, natural, NORMAL you-tuber and I love it. I used to watch you occasionally, but not religiously. Not because I didn't like what you were putting out, but I wasn't drawn to you weekly and there were others that I prioritized (I watch a lot of gardening videos), but now, I don't miss these weekly strolls. I guess that is a back-handed compliment (forgive me, as I am from Minnesota and you know we do that here). I am going to repeat your lady's mantle, nepeta allium border because it is so stunning. Thank you for keeping it real!
Your garden is beautiful. The 🦌and 🐇this year are eating everything. I mean down to the ground. Usually they nibble but not this year. The rabbits are mating out in the open. For the first time I witnessed a fawn nursing. So incredible.
LOVE all your gorgeous blooms!! Laughed so hard at you chasing the bunny. 😊💕 “Planting up” sounds great to me. After all you aren’t planting a container. That would mean you’re putting a container in the ground/dirt! You’re planting flowers IN a container. So plant up to your hearts desire. 😊💕😂🤣
Fun walk through the garden. Many thanks for sharing these beauties with us! That bunny seems very.comfortable in your lovely gardens. 🥰. Take care! 👌🪴🥰
Watching your garden strolls for inspiration. I'm in zone 6 Kansas City and am preparing a large area to plant next spring with sun til 2-3 in the afternoon. Keep the videos coming!
Oh! You had me laughing out loud! And I live alone with my dog who looked at me like I was crazy. So much fun with you talking about the critters! I too have rabbits and chipmunks and squirrels. And this year a nest of snakes was added to the mix! That’ll make you move in a hurry! They climbed up into my old azaleas next to the house. Babies in tow!!!!😳😳Looked like Medusa in my azalea! 🫣 Your garden is beautiful! Love that red/pink dogwood! Thanks for the tour.
You don’t have to dress up for us, Erin. We love you as you are. Everything is really looking lush and green out there. Rain really helps. I agree with you….the Lady’s Mantle makes a lovely border. That little bunny is going to love your curly parsley. The rabbits in my area even eat marigolds…unless they’re in bloom. They shear them right to the ground. Cute, but a major nuisance. 🥰
So nice to see green! I live in the high desert of the Southwest where it is hot, dry, brown, dusty and smoky from a big fire just west of me. Hoping for the monsoon season to start soon.
Wow I never would have thought lady’s mantle can be planted in the same bed with nepita and sedum!! Always thought lady’s mantle was for shade and the others are for sun 😮
I’m glad you look this way… reality. I start off with my hair in a bun, but by the time I’m done working in the garden I look like beetle juice. Lol. All good. Lol. Your garden is beautiful. 👱🏼♀️🌿🌸💚👩🏻🌾
You know I have never been a fan of Lady’s Mantle despite it’s popularity. Now I am thinking that I just didn’t have it in a position that showed it off to advantage. I am going to steal the idea of mixing it in with nepeta. So beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration! Spent yesterday pulling English Ivy. I was a sweaty mess at the end of the day so I appreciate the reality that appears in these weekly tours.
“Planting up” 😂 Thank you!! When I first started watching gardening videos the “up” part drove me nuts! I thought “Have I been away from gardening that long that I don’t remember all the gardening terms?” I’m with your editor on this one 😊
Erin, I have just realised why I enjoy your strolls so much - you are a plants woman. You enjoy the unusual and you know the names of your plants. Well, most of them! And even when you plant annuals, they are not acres of supertuniabenavista Bubblegum. Cheers from a fan in the UK.🍻
Hi Erin! 👋 I would consider myself still learning for sure, we purchased a half acre property with TERRIBLE soil and last year truly marks the start of our garden/homestead journey. It has been hard work and a lot of learning, but I have never been happier and we get to be selective with every aspect of this property. I love it! Love your garden stroll videos, it's inspiration for me to see all your mature plants in all their beauty and what my own garden might look like in just a few more years. 🥰
I love your channel and watch all the time, often with my own gin and tonic. I don't usually comment, but the bunny chase was so hilarious, I had to add: in my experience in a zone 7 Cape Cod garden, there's no such thing as 1 bunny!
Everything looks beautiful and luscious in the morning. I wish I had watched this yesterday morning. I'm not too far from North Winds and would have gone to see you.
I winter over my banana like you did and it is growing wonderfully. I live in Michigan . I just put it in my basement, forgot about it all winter. What a bonus
I really enjoy these unedited tours. It's lovely to feel like we're just walking along with you :-) We are having a banner bunny year here too --such a mild winter. I was wondering if you had luck with your Purple tomato? So far mine is doing fantastic!
The area with the ladies mantle, and the Nepeta is stunning! Well done! Everything else is looking so lush! I think here in Long Island, New York, my gardens have grown in leaps and bounds! Plants seem to have doubled in size this year. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for your content.
I had a bunny, just one, last year for the first time in my brand new garden. Tiny lil dude who became a giant dude (named him Dicky, for obvious reasons). Glad I'm not the only one who tries to chase the bun buns 😂. Lovely as always Erin! You should do a casual video on things that happily reseed in your garden! I need that dark colored geranium!
Hey, is it Happy Hour, Awesome! Cheers! 🍸🍷 The Lupins & Foxgloves did really well here in Minnesota. Our color combos in planters seems to be Salmon/peachy and shades of Purple. We bought a Midnight Masquerade Penstemon this year. Can't wait for it to be in full bloom. We love that you are keeping it real and are going natural. We love watching your videos! - Minnesota Sisters
Love you and your garden! It's looking spectacular! This spring has been amazing for our gardens in the WI/IL area (we are just west of Chicago. I say "potting up" all of the time. I know it's from watching lovely English gardening videos from our friends across the pond! So many good ones!
Checking in from the Chicago area. We're at the height of the cicada apocalypse. Every plant seems full of them, making gardening traumatizing. You're so lucky you're spared!! I can watch your videos and sigh with relief at just normal wildlife! Lol.
Thanks for the walk! So much inspiration. And allium Bulgaricum is so awesome. I get excited every year when mine is getting ready to bloom. I take way too many pictures of it.
Rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels...the struggle is real! Clearly the fox and the hawks are not doing their job. 😉 We have a birds nest in one of our hanging baskets (sparrow?). I carefully water around the nest, which sits high above the soil in the Boston Fern, so I can still carefully water without disturbing them...however, mama not too happy with me when I do. PS: babies are absolutely fine! If I thought I would harm them, I would have surely sacrificed the plant. 🐦
Please show up on camera “looking like this”. You are real and I love that! Most of us aren’t gardening in full hair and makeup 😊 You’re beautiful inside and out.
Agreed!!!!
Agreed😊
So true
Love it!!❤

Good job w you starting a new house!!!🌸
That is amazing! Gardeners will always find a way.
Your whole garden is beautiful but the bed with the Lady's Mantle is stunning! And I love the reflection pond!
It's a rare complement when you create an environment so wonderful that it attracts abundant wildlife.
I’ve always said planting up. You look like the rest of us. Gardener look. Your garden is gorgeous. So enjoy these strolls.
That reflecting pool is absolute perfection there! Also, I really love this style of video.

I laughed so hard I snorted! Living under a bridge for six months?? Hilarious!
Enjoying a coffee and your garden tour has become my favorite Sunday morning activity. Thank you for being REAL!
Nothing better than strolling through the garden with ice cubes tinkling in a g&t. And how cute is that little bunny? Eat whatever you want. lol.
This was the cutest tour, the bunny the birds and bats all added to the story today. This tour was like walking with a friend hanging out in their garden. Loved it Erin💜
The pagoda dogwood combined with the 3 evergreens is the prettiest planting I've ever seen.
Edit: omg girl I love the whole thing. You're amazing.
The ice clinking around in your glass made me feel desperate for a gin & tonic, so now I’m enjoying one with you. Cheers!
Sip and stroll oh hell yeah. If I could Star Trek teleport from Raleigh to Northwind I would in a minute.
Paula, are you going to Jim’s open garden on the 22nd? I’ll be there, driving in from the coast! I’d go see Erin talk if I was local to her area in a skinny minute!!

I noticed some say “prune on”. Sounds so funny.
Been sick in bed for 3 days and missing my garden. Thanks for keeping me company and giving me inspiration 🪴
Hope you're feeling better!!
Go outside and get some fresh air! Guaranteed you’ll feel better ❤️🩹😘🥰
lol I love the fact that you are real! I do not know any gardener who when actually working n there garden does not look like you do and fyi you are beautiful doing it because it is real!👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼
I adore the revised (new) circle garden edging. Chartreuse & purple colors & foliage textures contrast beautifully ❤
The squirrels, the bunnies, the birds😂 the battle is real!! Now I know how I look replanting plants that the squirrels have dug up and chasing the bunnies around my house❤️
Same here zone 4!
I LOVE, "Get out the garden!" This is me also , yelling at bunnies, deer, and birds. 😆 lol
I live in Cleveland Ohio and my friend and i have discussed how we have, as a society, added 'up' to the end of many words. It drives her nuts! 😂 Great video! Thank you💚
Love the look! True gardener😂
"By all means, go in there and eat whatever you want". I'm dying! 🤣🤣 🤣 ...and, I feel your pain!
Don't apologize, you look fine. We're gardening, not walking the runway. Oh, and the wildlife. . . especially the squirrels for me. The struggle is real! Your gardens are beautiful and an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
I love your comment . . . Not walking the runway!! I never look good gardening but it doesn't bother me.
@@lisag6796 Same here!
Love your sip & strolls! I never get tired of seeing your garden!
You must be Alice following the bunny 😂
Mini hedge of parsley=mini buffet for your rabbit friends! 😉Love the Ladies Mantle and loved the sip and stroll tour!
I love to freeze my garlic scapes! Diced up, line sheet pan with parchment paper, freeze about two hours and store in freezer bag. Love having these on hand especially in winter with soups and stews! This way they are not all clumped together.
I love when you ask us if we remembered what you planted. Makes me chuckle.
The reflecting pool is beautiful.
Yep, when I am gardening, my hair is a bit of a mess. And there’s usually twigs and leaves in it too. 😅
me too!! Worzel Gummidge🤠🤠 (British T V series)
Oh yes I'm usually a totally mess when gardening !!

Great tour. Now that I’m inspired again, it’s out to the garden I go. Cheers.
Plants, gardens and gin and tonic! It doesn't get much better than that. 😊 Love your videos.
Plant out in the landscape. Plant up the containers. I don’t see the problem. Love, love the “reflecting pool”!
That lady’s mantle swoop is gorgeous, well done!!❤❤
LOVE all your gorgeous blooms!! Laughed so hard at you chasing the bunny. 😊💕
“Planting up” sounds great to me. After all you aren’t planting a container. That would mean you’re putting a container in the ground/dirt! You’re planting flowers IN a container. So plant up to your hearts desire. 😊💕😂🤣

That’s how I look most every day! I had to play back that beginning as 2023 made me think this was old but I know these casual strolls are new.
Ack. Wrong year! Whoops.
@@TheImpatientGardener too funny. Just shows how busy you are! Thank you for sharing your garden.
Love these tours. Have fun with the bunnies. We have an albino bunny. I want to hate them all for the destruction they bring. I just can't.
Love your garden!!!!
Getting ready to have a hip replacement on Tues! Keep the videos coming! 🌿going to miss my garden - ugg!
Your garden will be waiting for you when you’re ready!🌸
So nice to see green! I live in the high desert of the Southwest where it is hot, dry, brown, dusty and smoky from a big fire just west of me. Hoping for the monsoon season to start soon.
Sounds like our summer last year in WI. We just got out of severe drought and hopefully CN doesn’t fire up again.
Wow I never would have thought lady’s mantle can be planted in the same bed with nepita and sedum!! Always thought lady’s mantle was for shade and the others are for sun 😮
Can we talk about the neighbor’s little white house with orange trim? How unique and adorable is that.
LOVE the ladies mantle and the flowering dogwood! More sip and strolls and bunny chases please.
I’m glad you look this way… reality. I start off with my hair in a bun, but by the time I’m done working in the garden I look like beetle juice. Lol. All good. Lol. Your garden is beautiful. 👱🏼♀️🌿🌸💚👩🏻🌾
Garlic scapes: I love them simply lightly sautéed with butter, salt and pepper! Yum!
You know I have never been a fan of Lady’s Mantle despite it’s popularity. Now I am thinking that I just didn’t have it in a position that showed it off to advantage. I am going to steal the idea of mixing it in with nepeta. So beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!
Spent yesterday pulling English Ivy. I was a sweaty mess at the end of the day so I appreciate the reality that appears in these weekly tours.
Garlic scapes - if you have enough I just sauté them in olive oil and a little butter. Great side dish with a steak. Also good in a stir fry.
“Planting up” 😂 Thank you!! When I first started watching gardening videos the “up” part drove me nuts! I thought “Have I been away from gardening that long that I don’t remember all the gardening terms?” I’m with your editor on this one 😊
Sounds like a Southern thing, we add all kinds of unnecessary syllables to words.
🤣
Europeans always say potting up.
I’ve always said “potting up”,I’m from Ireland.
Makes sense to me. Has a loving touch.
thanks Erin!
beautiful property 👍🏾
Beautiful property. Lots to see and enjoy. Love the wildlife also enjoying your world. 🤗
Erin, if your rhubarb was still good, I would recommend you try your gin with a rhubarb simple syrup, both pretty and delicious!!!🎉 Chase those 🐰
There is beauty in imperfection- just like in our gardens . 💗
Love these unedited garden strolls. The garden is beautiful!

Your garden is like a smorgasbord for all the wildlife! They can’t resist all the goodies! 😋
As always, enjoyed the sip n stroll. I am really struggling with rabbits this year. I’ve got a whole family of them.
Beautiful looking garden, containers and reflecting pool, They are the bees knees.
The area with the ladies mantle, and the Nepeta is stunning! Well done! Everything else is looking so lush! I think here in Long Island, New York, my gardens have grown in leaps and bounds! Plants seem to have doubled in size this year. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for your content.

Absolutely have loved the carmine silene that I started from seed this year. Will definitely do more. Great stroll! Things are looking so good :)
Erin chasing that bunny. Bunny only going a little out of range. 😅
😂😂 You and the bunny made the video. Love it
That hosta along your walkway 🤩😂😉
I love this stroll!❤
I really enjoyed this tour, Erin! 🌿
Oh how lots of rain makes our gardens grow.
I love the contrast between the Ladies Mantle and the Catmint! Beautiful! Love your videos. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks🌸
I have never seen your garden looking lovelier! Also I love your reflecting pool. So sweet!
I vacuum seal the garlic scapes cut in 1/2" to 1" diagonals and use them in stir fry.
Garlic scape pesto! Superb!
I love these informal garden tours! Your yard looks great! Oh that Ladies Mantle!!! Just wow! Everything looks fabulous!
Erin I love your reflecting pool. And your great teaching and inspiration.
I'm enjoying your wildlife snafus. The struggle is real! I think my top 3 are slugs & deer & red squirrels.
We use our garlic scapes in chicken stir fry. They are delicious. They don't take long to cook so put them in the stir fry last.
Rosy Teacups is gorgeous !
Hey, is it Happy Hour, Awesome! Cheers! 🍸🍷 The Lupins & Foxgloves did really well here in Minnesota. Our color combos in planters seems to be Salmon/peachy and shades of Purple.

We love watching your videos! - Minnesota Sisters
Love you and your garden! It's looking spectacular! This spring has been amazing for our gardens in the WI/IL area (we are just west of Chicago.
I say "potting up" all of the time. I know it's from watching lovely English gardening videos from our friends across the pond! So many good ones!
Just love you Erin!!!
Checking in from the Chicago area. We're at the height of the cicada apocalypse. Every plant seems full of them, making gardening traumatizing. You're so lucky you're spared!! I can watch your videos and sigh with relief at just normal wildlife! Lol.
Lol! Those bunnies aren’t frightened by you! As my sister tells me, you’re providing flora and fauna!
Thanks for the walk! So much inspiration. And allium Bulgaricum is so awesome. I get excited every year when mine is getting ready to bloom. I take way too many pictures of it.
