    Idea for next year: plant the purple fountain grass in the center in all containers then plant different colors/plants. Example every other container purple fowers and then pink flowers. Do different flowers in different shades of purple and different flowers in different shades of pink. Whatever you do will be wonderful and I'll watch your video. You guys are awesome!!

  • @margiemcpeak9304
    @margiemcpeak9304 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I definitely believe that you should continue planting the same combination in all the pots. Just like your hayracks on the other fence, the uniformity of all the same plants in the same pots makes a bigger impact. This is more pleasing to the eye than trying to readjust to a different combination of plants in each pot. It's so interesting to be at one end of the fence, then look back and see the fountain grass so uniformly and the rings of purple and yellow around each one. If there were different combos in each pot, even if you planted the same thriller in every one, would seem helter skelter instead of uniform. It's absolutely amazing how well these pots have performed with yours and Aaron's feeding/spraying and topping off water consistency. Thanks for this UPDATE guys! 💜

No? You know best, Laura. Everything you do is beautiful!! ❤

    Gorgeous, as always! Thaks for the update. I love the uniformity of your pots. Having said that, I have a few of those same containers on my deck and I planted them differently. I live in a townhouse with a small yard so the Crescent Garden containers really allow me to expand my options and experiment with various plants. With gratitude from zone 7a.

  • @greenthumbelina7331
    @greenthumbelina7331 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love the uniform look of all the containers being the same & the comparison of sun vs shade planting (great idea Aaron). My suggestion is to plant the 2 containers that are in the part shade and all shade alike using appropriate plants. Maybe some thing that contrasts to the full sun containers. I'm sure whatever you guys decide to do will look gorgeous!

  • @itsmewende
    @itsmewende 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Even if we know they need sun, seeing the difference in your flowers really hits home, I think if you go different flowers in the pots next yr, maybe keep the colors kinda the same for a nice flow. I just planted some purple fountain grass in a fall planter, which I've never done, I mean fall planters, added a pale purple aster, 3 tiny white mums, and stole a purple an white verbena from another pot for it. Wish I'd stumbled onto your channel in Feb, you gave me the gumption I needed to get my butt in gear an do the gardening I've been thinking about for yrs, Thanks for the kick in the pants.! Next yr my yard will be looking Fabulous, Thanks to you an Arron, and I have my cat Coyote tagging along.

  • @peachesmonroe251
    @peachesmonroe251 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I don't think you will enjoy the final look, as much, if you put something different in each pot next year. I think the uniformity of planting is what makes this particular showcase so dazzling. You will end up with different heights, different colors, different structures, different shapes in each pot. Your eye won't know where to go. Some will perform better than others... All uniformity will be lost. I think you will DEFINITELY need at least one common element to each plot in order to pull it off.

  • @juliegirl321
    @juliegirl321 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for showing and up dating us on these containers I love to see all that you are doing. I was thinking maybe next year for your containers that you plant ever other container. Like EVENS are a combination of flowers and the ODDS are another combination of greens or maybe just one item that you can put lights on for a beautiful evening look. Just throwing some thoughts out there, but what ever you do I know it will be just the best!

  • @judewillis1084
    @judewillis1084 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great update guys!! For next year's containers, how about an ombre effect? The first 2 pots in the shade could have plants that do well there. Then the next three (pots 3-5) transition to something that does well in the sun, but still relate to the first two. Then the next three (pots 6-8) would transition again and so on down the line. After the initial 2 pots, you would have 4 groups of 3 pots making transitions. Whatever you decide I know will be stunning and I will duplicate it in my yard.

  • @NiaLin
    @NiaLin 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Wish I could afford those pots! I say you do all different pots next year, but maybe have a unifying element. So, say they all have the same color scheme but w/completely different plants in each one. Or pick 1 or 2 predominant repeat colors but again, w/all different plants. Or use one element repeated such as the same thriller, or spiller, but the rest of the plants totally different in colors, shapes, in each pot. It’s a cool challenge to use all different plants cuz it’s gonna show us the variety of sun loving plants for the many zones they’re labeled for that we can choose from, whether annuals (or especially) if you use some perennials. I think where most folks go wrong is they don’t realize that they gotta fertilize weekly. I find a weekly bloom booster is best for ALL of my plants in addition to the slow release @ planting, & for pots slow release again in 2-3 months. Very few plants don’t require regular feeding. Using all different plants in each pot can help show us how your fertilizer schedule helps you get your results across the board. Thanks for the update! It’s looking beautiful!

    Love the color combo, the fountain grass is gorgeous. The difference between the shady spot is important for a beginner time see. One of my (tools) is a small binder with pockets to stash all my tags and receipts. My garden beds aren't even close to the size of yours but this is very helpful for a non pro gardener. Thanks for all the inspiration, I'm trying a lot of new plants and revisiting some that didn't do well in the past. So much fun.

Although I like the symmetry of all the containers, I like the idea of planting differently just from a learning perspective to see what works best and the different combinations. And thanks for showing that container in the shade. Again just from a learning perspective, it's great to see the differences in plant growth just from the change in light conditions. Thanks again.

Oh yeah no fair you don’t have issues with humidity. I know you guys would like some rain but trust me too much just hasn’t been good to us lol. Although what we have in pots have done amazing. I also think that you should stay with the same arrangement with all the planters. Awesome video!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

    @MrFkoller 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved this years combo, liked it so much better than all the pinks last year, specially because the same plants grew differently in each pot, so some have more Bordeaux, or limoncello, or a bit more royal velvet peaking out. I'd go for all the same next year, it really goes well with your more formal style of gardening, at least in my opinion. Thanks for the great videos!

  • @gardenbugdesigns
    @gardenbugdesigns 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would love to see a mixture of plant combos. It would be amazing to do some pots with flowers and others with just a highlight flower and greenery. This would allow you to showcase certain bloomers. For example: a dwarf sunflower/ Dahlia planted with coleus, heuchera, and highlighted with some calibrachoa and sweet potato vine. Begonias would be amazing in those end planters. If planting is too time consuming, you could do a drawing for a lucky you tube subscriber to hang/plant with Laura for a day or weekend!! Food for thought!!

    Hey Laura! Love your channel! That's my favourite ornamental grass. Here in pretoria, South Africa it's a perrenial. All I do is cut it all the way down to nothing at the end of winter, give it some compost and it bounces right back!

  • @anngriffith7932
    @anngriffith7932 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    They look even better than last year! Next year, If don't plant them uniformly, maybe two related design combinations that alternate? One element, like purple fountain grass, could be the constant that ties them all together...

  • @MarthinB75
    @MarthinB75 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    By us in South Africa, purple fountain grass is an amazing edition to any garden. Is a perennial over here... Which is a bonus. My garden will from now always include a couple of grasses. It's a filler for the border and a triller in a container. And planted next to a walkway, it's very elegant and textile. Every time I walk past them, my fingers just have to comb though them... Definitely a must have!!!
