#heliotrope #containerplanting #gardenbedideas
“Once again I underestimated the scope of the project” -story of a gardener’s life! 😂🌱
Indeed 😊.
Absolutely....happens to me every time. LOL
Agreed
Every. Single. Time. 😂
Janie, would you mind sharing where you found the heliotrope? I’m fairly close by and have no luck. Thank you!
Hi Janey! I love your channel, I’ve learned so much from you! I actually went to Summer Winds Nursery in Novato a couple weeks ago and was looking for Heliotrope and the person at the garden center gave me a huge warning that I wanted to pass on to you. He said it’s extremely toxic to dogs. It killed one of his customers dogs in a matter of hours after ingestion so they don’t carry it anymore. Just wanted to give you and other viewers some knowledge that was passed on to me. I love seeing Monty running around and would hate to see something happen to him
I agree, I stopped buying them because of my dogs. I think they are attractive to dogs because they smell good whereas other toxic plants that don't smell so strongly are not as attractive for dogs to eat.
I am certainly not one to comment as your ideas always seem perfect. I do wonder though if you ever considered putting the pots that are in front of the zig zag garden up on the patio. You can enjoy them more and it will add an element of height variation. By keeping them in front the zig zag design is lost. I don’t let a day go by without watching your wonderful channel so please don’t misunderstand my comment as negative on your choice. Your the best
That is a great idea.
Good idea. one pot by each of those pillars might look cute. But yes, it’s just a humble sugestion. Nothing against the wonderful ideas she has of her own. 🙂
Good morning DPWR friends😊
Good morning!☀️
Good morning 😊
Good morning, Lisa.
🤗
So much fun being a part of your gardening! Thanks for sharing and teaching as you go.
Zig-Zag looks great! So much of an improvement since you and your family have moved in and made it your new home.
I am bummed for ya those beauties, were looking so lovely and obviously happy in them pots. We had something similar happen and when I got half out, after wrasling, with em, yes wrasling, legs around arms deep in the ferns. My hubby came out and said lets just dump em behind the garden shed for now. Well, it rained and rained earlier this year and voila now we have a nice bunch of rooted in ferns and coleus, possibly some flowers too! lol, oh the scope of things, Happy Gardening DPWR Family!
If you have a sawsaws, you could have cut the roots half off those supertunias and buzzed the plant into quarters and transplanted somewhere. I saw a man use a✂️sawsaws, as well, to cut around stone pavers, then lift them, dig out the perfect sod square, and put the paver back at lawn level. Thank you for all you share. Jason is getting the gardening bug.
I’ve loved heliotrope for 25+ years and having them in my garden has always been a highlight. So glad you have discovered them and love them too. I’m zone 10 So California.
Janey, I think those white planters would coordinate more if you painted them the same color as your door. 😊 Thank you for creating so much beauty and educating me as well! ❤️
That’s the ticket! ❤
I can't wait to get out and garden. I had major surgery about 3 weeks ago and can do any thing yet. Looking out into my gardens, and watching my weeds growing and I'm getting so anxious. I hope I feel better soon so I can resume normal activities. As I'm typing this it's becoming so emotional for me as gardening makes me so happy. Everything you are doing looks so beautiful.
Hope you feel better soon and your garden will be waiting for you 🪴🌺🪴
I always have sweet alyssum in my garden each year for however long it will stay for the same reason! Smells heavenly! Violas, stock, and the variety of phlox I have also have a wonderful scent!! Wonderful when gardening on a lightly breezy day!
Hi Janey. I too love heliotrope But aren’t they toxic to dogs? I googled them. It says they are. Watch that dear Monty doesn’t try munching on them.
Your zig zag bed will be lovely once again this summer.
Because of you I now have heliotrope in my garden! And I think it smells like baby powder! I love love love it! Loving the continual improvement going on in your garden!
Janey, Every one of my garden projects is full of those 'surprises'!!! Really!! No exaggeration. So I always plan on only doing one thing, however long that may take. Of course, I'm not filming nor upkeeping a TH-cam channel😅..
I think it would look so pretty to paint the pots the color of the door and put some creeping Jenny coming out over the edge to bring a pop of color to the heliotrope. Deanna😊
Take some sandpaper to your white pots and they will look country rustic!
I also love Heliotrope, but have learned that it is very toxic to pets. So watch sweet Monty. I have a Doodle who likes to nibble so many of my flowers. I will use it again, just putting it where my dog won't notice it. Love your videos - so real!!!
Hi. Plants look great. I’d paint the pot the same colour of the zig zag then it would all blend in and the plants will be the feature. Cheers Bronwyn 🇦🇺
Hi , love your videos, suggestion when the plants r so rooted in put water and turn sideways until it looseneds💕
I'm so glad you went into more detail on your drip. I'd love if you could incorporate more footage of how you set drip when you plant. Thanks!
Thank goodness Jason was there to help.
Heliotrope smells so yummy! I do wish it was a little more showy of a plant. Can you and Proven Winners work on a giant heliotrope shrub with big fragrant blooms? That'd be great. 😃
I love the zig zag planter so much and you are planting a beautiful array of flowers, can’t wait to see them in full bloom! From Ontario Canada
I kinda hated you taking out the Pink Cashmere. HOWEVER the HELIOTROPE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL! Love the darker leaves. Thank you!
Please try those white planters on the backside of the zig zag planter. Or maybe as entryway pots to the deck. I think they do not do the zigzag any favors by being in front of it.
Oh my, I wouldn't have thought about the roots being like that either, the new plants in the planters are going to be and smell beautiful and just make the zig zag planter be magical and smell magical. Great video. ❤❤
You had me driving 1 1/2 hours to get these last year but I was able to over winter. You are so right I love them and are a beautiful accent to my garden
Janey, I saw Proven winners video of 2025 plants, including several varieties of heliotrope, I’m sure you’ll love the new options!
I’ve been to Carmel By the Sea, such a BEAUTIFUL and fairytale like town! It’s the most charming place, it’s kind of like an American version of the Cotswolds 😍🥰
Hey I love watching your videos, I'm here all the way from Australia. Just a quick question are you worried about Monty with these flowers I've heard they are highly toxic to dogs?! But other then that I love your daily videos they give me alot of motivation to get out into my own garden. I always watch your videos before I go to work in the mornings and when you say 'I hope you all get a chance to get into your garden today' I always say I wish, I would rather be in my garden then be going to work today lol!!!
“I got you” ❤ Jason is so sweet.
Janey, you should get a Hori Hori garden knife and a root slayer shovel for your hard projects.
I love how when your husband came out to help, the music changed. So cute!!
Jason @ 8:25 “I got you.” 🥹
Janey, I always tell people that the wind sucks the life out of me! I once was in the wind for an air show at Edwards AFB all day. When I got home I laid down for a nap and woke up at 2 in the afternoon., Love the zig zag planters!
I like the plant colors for the zig-zag planter! It is going to be so pretty. Wish I had Jason to help me in my garden!
Exactly what I was thinking!
I love Heliotropes but have never seen them for sale over here in the UK. Your garden is looking beautiful! I can’t believe how far you have come in terms of t your current garden in such a short time. You are so inspiring. I also love your lovely relationship with your fur babies. I am a big animal lover so I find your love and respect for them heartwarming. Much love xxx
I do not like fighting the wind! Like you I just feel tired after being out in it trying to accomplish something! Then later in the summer it seems you can’t buy a breeze on those hot humid days..💨💨🥵🥵☀️
Plant the pots same color as the zig zag planter. 😊
I love your your gardening stuff. I always watch you and you inspire me on my yard and my planning in my landscape. I would paint the pots, the same color as your zigzag planter.
I agree with you, heliotrope is such a great plant! I started planting it last year and the smell is so amazing!
Love your garden videos and watching it slowly evolve into something so beautiful!!
Yeah Jason saves the day again😎👍❤️
I developed the same kind of love for Sweet Peas. I was in a friend's garden and kept smelling 'candy'. Glorious! 💜
Me too! They are the most coveted plant in my garden. I will never be without sweetpeas again!
I live in Southern Indiana zone 6 and I discovered Heliotrope years ago and it is very hard to find. You are right it is the best smelling plant ever.
Team work !! ❤
Your Pink Cashmeres were clearly very happy. It is surprising just how rooted a relatively small plant can become. Good reminder for all of us not to let our containers go too long without removing plants. As for heliotrope, I had a similar experience over 30 years ago up at Buchart Gardens in Canada. We got out of our car and instantly smelled something wonderful. I commented to my husband and someone overheard me. She pointed to the heliotrope that was used as a bedding plant in the parking lot and I've loved it ever since. It's always in my deck pots. I'm not sure why it's not more popular but I do have a local garden center that always grows lots of it. I've never used it as a bedding plant but maybe it's worth a try this year...
Just curious about what the white pots would look like up on the deck 😊 love that Monty came into the zig zag for some love 💗
Let the zig zag planter stand alone, white pots distracting
I love the wind. It actually energizes me. Lol God made us all so different.
Heliotrope was used to make perfume…and they will be gorgeous in your planters💕
I just bought a heliotrope yesterday thinking of you.
I’m in West Michigan 6a. I plant a few heliotrope every year and they do fine! A little hard to find sometimes. Are easy to grow in the sun!
I bought a variety from Annie’s Annuals and it smells like Vanilla Cupcakes. Yummy!
I have them next to a northwest facing fence , the most sunniest place in my garden because of big trees, and they over wintered 2 years now. I’m in 9b
I love the smell of heliotrope! Good choice! Your audio was just fine. I enjoy your videos immensely. Thanks for sharing your gardening world with us fellow gardeners! Something satisfying about watching other people garden. lol!😉
I grew so much heliotrope from seed this year! Never grown it before but now I’m excited.
Monty’s ball in the zig zag planter. 😂 he’s the cutiest!
Note: these are extremely poisonous for pets especially dogs, I know someone whose golden retriever passed away of liver failure after nibbling on heliotrope.
I wanted them so badly, but that is the reason I ended up not buying them.
Heliotrope is widely used in perfumery. It's one of my favorite scents!
Hi Janey your gardening is looking very beautiful. I have enjoyed watching the transformation since August. Can't wait to see more!!.
May I share what I do when I want to empty a pot. 2 days before I water it a lot until the day of the unpoting usually it works. If it doesn't then get my hose out on plug it into the plant it a bit messy and muddy but i get the job done easy.
But again You can use Jason to the rescue.
Janey, I know you hear this all the time, but I learn so much from you! I think maybe you learned how to break information down into easy to understand pieces from your time as a PT. I also learn from just watching you work, how you organize your tasks, and keep your supplies in your wagons, and methodically just stick with the task until you are finished. I’m in Texas, so have similar issues with intense heat and drought, but for the pat few years, we have had below freezing temperatures for days at a time, rather than the occasional dip in temperature. I so wish I had the benefit of your tutelage years ago when I had the strength and stamina to make a beautiful garden! I, too love heliotrope, and wanted to tell you that the fragrance is popular in many perfumes! L’Heure Blue, Blue Grass, Poison, l’Aire du Temps, and many others. It’s a winner! And so is Jason!A man who is strong and cheerfully helps gets a gold star!
Your garden is getting fuller, I love your design!
Use a recipricating saw to cut chunks to take out.
I feel you , I personally don't like when is windy 😞
Two, is better than one! ❤
Oh Janey i Love,Love,Love that Zig Zag Planter. You did a Fantastic job on it. Thank you for sharing this with us and I enjoyed every minute of it. A lot of hard work but oh the Beauty in the end is worth the hard work. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed weekend and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❤❤❤
I’m anxious to see what the heliotrope looks like when it is mature. I was thinking of something with a bigger boulder texture in those pots since most everything else has a similar texture as the heliotrope.
Jason to the rescue.Once again thank you jason. Job well done, working on that beauty, the Oklahoma gardener.
My mother in law planted heliotrope decades ago, it's was delicious then too. I've grown it off and on since she planted it, by decades, I'm talking 40 yrs.
I "discovered" heliotrope through you and your love for it. What an incredible plant. The fragrance is outstanding. My garden will never be without it!!!! (You smell vanilla; I smell baby powder. Either way .... it is WONDERFUL!)
I always think baby powder too !!
Monty in the planter, up close and personal 🥰 xx
I love Monty! Thanks so much for sharing your garden and knowledge. You’re such an inspiration.
I was shocked yesterday when you mentioned you planted 5 superbena cashmere in each of those pots, predicting today’s outcome. I’ve learned I just don’t need as many Proven Winner plants in a container as is often suggested, are they are such prolific plants.
They look lovely and I know they smell fantastic 🥰🥰
I'm excited to try heliotrope ❤
Beautiful ! Lots of work. Lucky you have Jason to the rescue!
I just bought some heliotrope for my patio pots. Excited to try it.
Exceptional colors
I plant heliotrope every year. It's my favorite too!. It smell so amazing. 💜
I love the scent and color of heliotrope! That zig zag planter looks fabulous!
Good morning, you need to purchase a hori hori garden tool to help with those rooted in plants. Great tool.
Good idea! That tool is one of my favorite since it lets me accomplish things that would otherwise be impossible! ❤
I recently dug out two older lavender plants from their pots, and boy was that a workout! I felt like some kind of large animal veterinarian! I agree about getting more tired in windy conditions. Not sure why, but it is no fun.
loloololol I had to think about that for a while, but yep. Large animal vet 🤣
We need a Monty cam!
Wow that was sooooooo rooted in, I was worried it was going to break. Loving the progress. 😊
💖!
Love that you use pot feet! Lifting the pots allows better drainage and airflow! ACE GARDEN TIP! Thanks Janey!
Re: Helioteope - I smell the vanilla. My Mom smells cherry pie. 😂 Either way - the fragrance is heaven! Mine on the east coast are annuals and love morning sun until around 1pm.
Cherry pie? I love that! I've heard baby powder too!
I received the T-shirts that I ordered from your shop. They are WONDERFUL; so soft and light weight.
I bought heliotrope because of you! I'm way down here in 9b Tampa Bay FL ❤
I also adore the smell of heliotrope. I started some from seed this year. I’m brand new to starting flowers from seed. How old is your dog? I just got a puppy who I want to be my gardening companion (next year). He’s only 10 weeks old. I also cannot deal with wind. 🤣
A good way to get such rootbound plants out of the pots is to divide the plants in half or quarters, even if you don’t get all the way to the bottom.
Monty is so sweet and precious ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The wind does me in as well 😒 Everything is looking amazing!!
I made a few pots of these for my sons outside wedding. These and Lantana are my new favorite. Well other that bubblegum supertunias.
You should root prune the pink cashmere and plant it in the ground .. good experiment
💜 heliotrope… mine overwintered in a pot zone 9b California
A hori hori knife or bread knife help to separate rootball from sides of pot THEN tipping it and pushing up thru the drain hole, with a stick /bamboo steak/screw driver, you get the idea 🤓
The heliotropes look so beautiful, if I could get my hands on some. Blooms and smell are a plus but I’m in love with the foliage.
I discovered heliotrope last year and loved it, I find it quite hard to find here in France but I love it ! It seems it was used to make perfume
I’m loving the zig zag planter so much more now! Like you I was not a fan at first. Have you considered painting your white pots the same green as your front door? I like the high contrast of the white against the black but the green might be nice too. Either way will look great!
