Great video.
I just put my Longfield anemones in water before I sat down to watch this. Thanks for putting us on to Longfield. Am so impressed with quality’s of bulbs that came.
Thanks for this. I live in southwest Chicago suburb and garden in zone 5b. It has not been that cold here. Today 74 but a little breezy. Really last day to enjoy this, wet and chilly starting tomorrow. Looking forward to see the display in the Spring.
Erin you make me laugh! I love your sense of humor!!! Wildflowers are magical and they do spread. I made a mistake of planting some by my sidewalk and well...we had no sidewalk while they were blooming. Love them! ENJOY!💐❤
I love the casual approach you take to gardening! It's really helped to me to relax and not stress when planting haha
me too!!
ME TOO! IT HELPS!
That will be beautiful outlining the garden area. Great idea!!! And the little things you planted do look like bits of POOP. You can say it. Turds. Lol. Now, that’s out of the way. Enjoy! Lolol. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Guess I need to go back to the store and get more tulips for my strawberry beds 🤔😉
Last year, I planted anemones for the first time, and not a single one of them came up. I didn't know about soaking the corms (or whatever they're called) first before planting, so thanks for that information, and you're so right about them being odd-looking little lumps. I may have to plant them again next fall. All of my tulips and most of the daffodils (I have a dozen left to go into the ground) are planted, hopefully, I gave them enough room to naturalize.
You make me laugh out loud...talking about the currants you’re “trying” to grow!! I love how you keep your gardening experiences so real!😂😂
Such an inspirational video, new subscriber from Australia 💕😀
That soil is amazing!
"They look like little blobs of dirt." Haha very true!
Erin I’m so excited because for the first time I’m growing Colorblends Peach Cobbler daffodils (100) starting small LOL. Keeping my fingers crossed that they look great! Thanks for braving the cold to plant! Love your videos and live chats!
I absolutely love the anemone blanda, in my garden they keep coming back year after year. They look plain in images but they are real performers in real life. I hope they will do well in your climate as well.
Malin Skillby, do they make a good cut flower to use in vases?
@@karenm5681 They don't last that long indoors, maybe a day or a few days. The stems are really skinny, so they easily flop when indoors, and the leaves are placed akwardly halfway up the stem, so they are bulky in the middle and floppy at the top. :) The arrangement always looks a little wild. But you may have a better hand with them than I do. They do last ages in the garden, though.
Thanks, Malin. Your answer helps me to know that I should not buy these particular flowers, lovely as they are, because I'm starting a business selling cut flowers that I'll grow in 2021 on our city lot. I have a tendency to want to grow all the things and even with garden places on all 4 sides of our home, there actually is a limit to the space I can grow things in. I'm learning how to make wiser choices through some trial & error...not every flower can "make the cut".😂
@@karenm5681 That sounds wonderful! I wish you the best of luck, and it sounds like you will have a spectacular garden.
Bulb inspiration! This was so great. Your excitement is contagious ☺ I need to find some shade bulbs if such a thing exists for my 8a garden!
I LOVE my Anemones!! They are sweet and so tough. They do spread quickly, you will enjoy them 😊
I have the white variety anemones. It blooms for a long time in spring, I love it.
I planted 114 naturalizing daffodils and 75 mixed wood hyacinths in our woods. I too gave up on tulips because of the deer.
I planted the Blandas years ago, just the blue ones.. I loved them and they spread beautifully... this year was a poor showing, and I fear the Vole army wiped them out. Terrible problem with those little buggers here in western MA!!! Thanks for an awesome video!!
So exciting to be able to do Tulips, safe from the deer! I planted anemone blanda last year in a pot, from a native mix, they were so sweet- super successful here in zone 8b. This year I planted snowdrops, snakeshead fritillaries and early daffs- I’m all about an early show in the gloom of Winter!
I am in southern Ont (Canada) zone 6b... I have tried anemone blanda a few times, with low/no success. I have heard others in my zone have better luck with the little turds. I am eager to see your results and I might try again :) I usually stick to daffodils and allium due to our high rabbit population, I am trying to camoflauge my tulips under garlic and alliums this year... we will see. I have a big swath of camissia and alliums in my garden that makes a nice tall bold statement. Since the allium do not naturalize, I would love to add a few more... I need your flags to mark the open spots in the spring so I can plant them up in the fall without damaging my in ground bulbs. Thanks for the great video, you def looked cold by the end!
Accidentally dug up my frittillaria while digging a hole for my bloomerang lilac!! Planted alliums and replanted iris tubers (some I dug and a couple an animal did!). Thanks for all you do to educate the gardening community!! Btw, enjoyed watching your Q & A from Fri!
It never fails: Dig a hole, unearth a bulb!
Just finished our bulb planting for this year. Our colors are pink, white and yellow this year. We only did 150 daffs, 30 tulips, about 15 chionodoxa (an experiment). I love the flag method of marking. Although my yard looks like the utility locator came through (well actually my husband is one of those) now I know where everything will come up. I took pictures and then pulled the flags after planting bulbs. So looking forward to your display in spring. Love pink and white combo. Thanks for the inspiration. 🍂😃🍂
Your garden is going to be gorgeous in spring!
I’ve just bought a mixed bag of allium/oxalis & anemone and on the packet, it doesn’t mention anything about soaking the anemones. I so glad I’ve watched yours and Laura from Garden Answer videos. You both give so much information.
I think they look like wizened prunes 😆
I always think if you're motivated to do something, it's a good time to jump on it. It's tough to get out there when it's so cold and windy, but you got some tulips in the ground.
I have bees so my focus is on early bulbs in 6a. Trying wolfs bane. Really like your style.
I think you plant anemone blanda tubers with the slightly convex side upwards. They are quite common here in the UK.
Very interesting Erin....have never planted them as tubers before! Cannot wait until they come up in the spring! 🙏❤️🇨🇦
Your kitchen is really pretty 🤩
Your awesome sense of humor makes the subject matter of bulb planting (which isn't the most exciting topic) so much more enjoyable! I still have not planted my bulbs yet so go figure. However I am interested in seeing how your design plays out next spring ;-)
You and me both. 😀
I am not a red-or-orange-flower-lover BUT, I do like the combination you have selected! Also the spot of pink choice in front of the Belgian fence will coordinate well. Bon chance!
I tried thr anemone last year and a love it... The tulips are just beautiful..
Thank you for the inspirational video... Can not wait to see it all in springtime...
It is difficult to see which way is right way up for the anemone bulbs. I use touch instead of sight. Run your finger along it....one side is knobbly, the other side is smooth to the touch. The smooth side should face down, the knobbly side should face up.
I love the way you are going to mix different varieties of same colour tulips to give different textures. I'm really looking forward to spring to see them bloom in your garden.
Oh dear. I missed that. Thanks for the Info.
I just planted some wind flowers too!
I am planting tons of anemone and ranunculus this year, I did plant some of each last year and was so happy with how prolifically they bloomed. I'll be watching to see how these naturalize for you, I have a shady woodland area that these would be lovely in. New for me this year is Fritillaria Persica, the tall dark and handsome one and white Squill mixed with my short muscari. You looked so cold, hope you get some warm weather to finish planting. I'm trying to take advantage of our 70s temps this week.
Oh my goodness what beautiful soil! I am so jealous of that....digging in the red clay down here.
Relatable 😭😭 literally we make balls out of the clay soil and sun dry them and use them on slingshots to scare away monkeys and squirrels from the orchard and vegetable patch 🤪
Yes it is so loam like
Hey Erin, love everything about you!
2 years ago I planted 300 tulips and daffodils and not a single one came up. While digging around in spring I noticed a lot of rotted bulbs so I assume that they all rotted. Last year I added fertilizer and a healthily dose of coarse sand at the bottom of the planting holes and had a Stella show in spring. Just thought I’d share with the folks out there that may be having similar issues. This year it’s tons of Aveyron tulips.
Great info. Drainage helps so much with bulbs.
I'm really looking forward to the double orange Monties. I love a pop of orange color. 🧡
Thanks for doing this video Erin :) Everything is going to look awesome! I'm waiting for my order of spring anemone to come and I'm so glad you let us know that they need to be soaked! I didn't realize that so that's good information.
I’m not sure the spring-planted ones need to be soaked. I’ve never grown those either.
@@TheImpatientGardener I'm planting in fall for spring blooms - I need to soak them ...
I’d like to try those anemones. I think I bought some awhile ago and never planted them 🤪. I’m planting tulips and daffodils in containers this year. Rabbits always ruin my tulips so hoping I can protect them in a container.
I empathize with fall projects becoming spring projects! That happens in my world, too!
I added anemones to my own woodland garden this year, and quickly discovered that the neighborhood deer were quite appreciative for my providing those yummy buds. I have placed cages around the spared stems. I’m hoping for a rebound bloom next year. I wanted to share this experience with you since I know you deal with deer.
I had the same issue a couple of years ago when I tried the anemones, 🦌 food! Of course everything I plant in my 'flower gardens' the deer think is a food plot for them. 🤷
I planted mine at least eighteen years ago and they are still one of the earliest to show in my rose bed.
Great to know! Thanks for sharing your experience.
It’s going to look so good. I love that you have a plan. I have no plan. 🤣
I can't believe you'd stay out in that cold wind. UGH... Congratulations for your efforts! It's going to be gorgeous!
I get in a panic that I'm not going to get everything done at this time of year so I power through.
I had great success with them last year. Suppose i should wait to see if they come back before i jump to conclusions.
Just watched weekend live
Im in s.wales uk so its a bit past my bedtime but do enjoy your easy going nature. Shuberttii and christophii aliums are my faves. Tried rannunculus it was disastrous. Not 1 came up. But will try again growing in modules then planting them out. See you next time
Sounds really gorgeous! Have a question about h oil w to fertilize. Do you fertilize in the fall or early spring? Or after the bulb is done?And I'm guessing you just sprinkle it around the bulb area and work it into the soil.
Hi Erin, I’m getting ready to stick some of these bulbs in the ground (fall is ideal, but i was given these…) is there another video that addresses how these turned out for you? Ty. Love your channel!
I think I included them in a spring tour last year. They worked great!
I keep noticing the compost area behind you...trying to find a video on that. Do you have one or info on the supplies?
I planted blanda and love them! so adorable AND deer resistant!
So glad to hear that Yuliya!
Fun to watch! I’m getting addicted to bulbs due to you and Garden Answer. Lol. 700 purchased this year - 400 tulips, 200 daffodils, 100 snowdrops.
Excited to see how it all looks come spring! I planted Allium atropurpureum this year. Just about 25 bulbs peppered along a native perennial filled border. Hoping these will provide blooms in the lull between my early and late bloomers.
Is it spring yet...?! 😍
Hopefully I'll have a few tulips in my containers next spring too, they are now chillin' in the fridge!! 😊
Love your channel which I know is a gardening one, BUT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT EXACT BACKSPLASH. Is it mother of pearl and if you don’t mind me asking, where did you get it? love the little bit of sparkle.
Love the white with the dots of pink idea. Can’t wait till spring😃
Its going to look really beautiful love the colors you picked cant wait till spring to see the colors
Love the idea of the tulips around the outer rim... will be beautiful like a framing of the veggie garden. I'm trying ranunculus this year although I am not sure about the humid, hot southern weather we have. Give it a try and if it doesn't work, I'll know :-) Also planted 3 additional new kinds of alliums this year! They were phenomenal in my garden last year. I would have 100s of those if I could! Can't wait to see how yours all turns out in the spring!
Oh my gosh, that bulb auger looked like so much fun! I usually dig trenches with the shovel like you said you were going to do, but I might want to get one of those augers in the future.
I have always been disappointed with trying to find a cosmos that is actually short. This last season I broke down and tried yet another short white, Cosmos 'Little Princess'. While it was not as vigorous as I would have liked (I guess I would plant many closer together.), it was bushy and short, just 20" here in central WI. The closeness of the flowers when blooming actually looks like the seed packet pic.
Oh my goodness, it looks freezing cold! California here, we haven't had that kind of cold and wind yet. Hats off to you! It will look beautiful come spring. Looking forward to seeing it.
Great video! I love mixing flowers into my veggie garden area, too, Erin. 😊 Watching you work in that cold wind has motivated me to get outside and plant my bulbs today despite the "cold" weather here in northern California. It was in the 90's a few weeks ago, but today it's in the frigid 50's! ☺️
Planting the anemones for the first time this year too! Didn't know to soak them so I'm doing that the minute I get home. Like the plan you have for the tulips...almost close to mine but went darker as you know 😉 and now I won't be using ferts on new bulbs just the old ones... Now I need to remember where they all are 😂
Hi Erin! Can you do an update on the Belgian fence? I'm curious to know how it's going and how you will handle the corners/door space.
My mom always told me I was gonna get a turd sized lump of coal in my Christmas stocking...
:)
Looking forward to spring. After the two pieces of good news this week, it is going to be spectacular. I am actually planting bulbs this year to celebrate!
Love your videos! Please could tell where you got the awesome trowel you planted the anemone with?
It's Sneeboer's planting trowel. It's sold out right now where I bought it but you might find it elsewhere. Here's the link to it: www.gardentoolcompany.com/products/planting-trowel-by-sneeboer?_pos=75&_sid=250dfa2e7&_ss=r&variant=763664031
Love your vlog!Gardeners world over?? No pressure.
LOL!
I guess since tulips are an annual for me there no need to fertilize at all. I have an old metal fire pit that I used for tomatoes that I think I’ll plant my tulips in. It has a mesh cover so I can keep the critters out! But now I think I need more to fill it out. Is there a tulip calculator somewhere? I should go google that.
I think it's about 5 tulips per square foot, but if I were growing them as annuals I'd plant far more densely than that.
Going to be a stunner!! C'mon Spring🌷🌷🌷
It will be beautiful! I planted fritillaria, Mediterranean bells, hyacinths and daffodils 🌼 this year. I purchased ranunculus will try to start inside late winter Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful view of your gardens as you were walking out to plant the anemones. Fall has its own special beauty.
I live in Washington state with deer and rabbits a-plenty, and also plant my tulips in my fenced-in raised bed veggie garden. I love having tulips in the Spring! Your plans are gorgeous - looking forward to seeing the Spring show!
Your new garden is looking lovely and I particularly like the wooden bridge. I like the trowel, Monty from GW has that type I’ve noticed. Bulb planting is my least favourite job but oh so worth it 😍
Yes! Not fun but always worth it.
Thanks for the tips and braving through those cold winds! I just planted anemones yesterday for the first time. Somewhere I read they only needed to soak for 2 hours. Hopefully they'll bloom. I agree--very weird looking bulbs, but at least I didn't have to worry about which way was up. I planted alliums too and which way is up on those really confuse me!
No bulb planting for me this year. I'll just pretend other people's joys are my own
Hahaha! Those anemone have a mind of their own! I've planted hundreds of blue, white and pink ones over the years in my zone 5b. Only the blue survive long term, and they really prefer the adjacent lawn over the tree ring. They naturalize in the lawn. However, I can recommend squill. A carpet of blue in your lawn in early spring, grass like foliage that fades away and then you mow them.
Good morning! I can't wait to see your tulips in full bloom. Thanks for sharing.🌷 I'm also planting different bulbs this year" Big Apricot and Queen of night" I'll be getting mine in late December.
Something to look forward to! Spring tulips! Should be beautiful!
Can’t wait to see the tulip show in the spring with all those vibrant color! Lol love when you said it all makes sense in your head! We (Katie) TOTALLY get that
Erin - loved this video! I have planted the anemones in the past and love how they naturalize. You inspired me to buy a few bags more for my new woodland garden!
I can't wait to see all these beautiful flowers bloom. This is my first year gardening. I've never planted bulbs before, but I'm definitely going to. I've ordered a bunch of bulbs (as if I know what to do with them). I was told that the bulbs will be shipped accordingly based on my zone, which is 10b. I'm excited and nervous.
I love these ideas! I can’t wait to see the results in the spring. I was just looking at the anemones yesterday and you have convinced me.
Here in grow zone 7b we plant out in the fall but only go 2 inches down, they love the sun, but soon disappear when the warm weather hits.. They are rock stars in the garden. Many varieties to choose from. Lovely flowers.
I planted some purple anemonies in zone 6 . Every year less and less come back, I think did not pick the right variety for my climate. For tulips I try to combine similar varieties with different bloom time to make it look like it blooms for long time.
Excited to see what these will look like in the spring.
Can't wait to see your spring flower show! Your expression was priceless at around 13:32🤣 That's me every time I have to measure anything. Good tip about fertilizing bulbs the second year too!
That is some serious soil goals right there!! Can't wait for the spring show!
It will be lovely. I tried 3 new ones this year. Trout lilies, winter wolfs bane and Virginia blue bells. The blue bells are in a shady more natural area.
That is going to turn out so pretty! I can’t wait to see the show this spring!
What a great use of your space! It’s going to look so pretty.
Can’t wait to see the show in spring. You have inspired me to plan for a specific area next year. Gardens down, leaf pick up done and lawn got last mow for season. Gorgeous weather weekend here in Southern Ontario Canada 💝🇨🇦. Have a great day.
I grew some of those 2 years ago from the funny looking "corms" I liked them, but they weren't big, bold or showy, Very small and delicate.
Love your Kitchen! Where did you get the salt/pepper grinder near your stove?
Great plans, can't wait until spring.
Cant wait to see those Anemones in the future! I never knew there were bulb varieties. I have Japanese Anemones they are pink and i love how quickly they spread! Those tulips will be beautiful! I love the white ones. I planted purple and white tulips and variegated white and purple ones. I also planted white and coral daffodils this fall aswell! Love your vids, take care!
Erin, I have the White Splendor but I didn't soak mine; in Portland and we get enough rain, no problems. Planted in mostly sun, they are very beautiful. Have more going out this season, need to get them in the ground.
I have never planted anemone, I may try it next fall! Can't wait to see how they perform for you!🌸
Can you plant the anemone blanda in the spring and get blooms?
Thanks for the suggestion I have not planted anemone. Can't wait to see the spring shot of those bulbs it will be beautiful.
I, too, live in SE WI (Racine) and deal with deer. We just (last season) put up a fence around the garden, so am looking forward to eating more of my produce this year. When we first moved here, I learned the hard way that deer like tulips and have just grown daffodils instead, but LOVE the idea of planting them inside my vegetable garden! Thank you for your realistic approach to gardening , your willingness to try new things and your creativity. I really enjoy your videos.
Good for you planting your blanda anemones as soon as they are ready. I purchased them this year too, soaked them overnight, and then got busy so I couldn't plant them for a few days. BIG mistake. They got moldy and I had to toss them. I was heartbroken. I spent so much on them I didn't feel good about purchasing them again. They are on my list for next year though. Love the tulips. I deal with deer, squirrels and chipmunks here so I am sticking with species tulips. I loaded the soil with cayenne as well, while planting just in case. Did your species tulips come back every year or were they still annuals for you?
