00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,690

hey guys in today's video I'm just gonna




2

00:00:01,889 --> 00:00:03,129

be planting a bunch of container




3

00:00:03,330 --> 00:00:04,629

starting with the ones right in front of




4

00:00:04,830 --> 00:00:06,578

our barn along with the hay rack up




5

00:00:06,778 --> 00:00:07,960

there and then several more in the




6

00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,120

garden including the urns along the west




7

00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,470

side of our house which I'm so excited




8

00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:13,689

about and I hope you guys are not




9

00:00:13,888 --> 00:00:15,280

getting sick of planting videos but that




10

00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,440

is what our life is right now from about




11

00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,929

mid-april to mid-june it's go time in




12

00:00:20,129 --> 00:00:22,060

terms of planting here annuals




13

00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:24,010

perennials shrubs trees I mean you name




14

00:00:24,210 --> 00:00:25,568

it it's just kind of like the time of




15

00:00:25,768 --> 00:00:27,519

year for us to get everything in the




16

00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:29,260

ground so I hope you're enjoying all of




17

00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:31,720

the videos so I do have the plants that




18

00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,558

I'm going to use in these containers




19

00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:33,939

sitting right here on the ground let me




20

00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:35,919

show you I'm really excited about this




21

00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:38,619

color blend so I decided to go with a




22

00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:40,390

purple fountain grass as the centerpiece




23

00:00:40,590 --> 00:00:42,759

if you've never grown this it's a super




24

00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,669

common grass to find it's super popular




25

00:00:45,869 --> 00:00:48,358

but it grows into a very spectacular




26

00:00:48,558 --> 00:00:50,739

looking a centerpiece with really pretty




27

00:00:50,939 --> 00:00:53,018

plumes on the top and it seems like




28

00:00:53,219 --> 00:00:55,209

every year no matter what I try I end up




29

00:00:55,409 --> 00:00:56,619

putting purple fountain grass in these




30

00:00:56,820 --> 00:00:58,779

containers maybe like even somewhere




31

00:00:58,979 --> 00:01:00,698

midway in the season after one of my




32

00:01:00,899 --> 00:01:02,619

other centerpieces has died or something




33

00:01:02,820 --> 00:01:04,659

so anyway I decided to just go with that




34

00:01:04,859 --> 00:01:06,250

from the gate and I think that'll be




35

00:01:06,450 --> 00:01:07,659

great because this will go all the way




36

00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:09,700

through the season in fact I can leave




37

00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:10,899

these through the winter for winter




38

00:01:11,099 --> 00:01:13,060

interest if I decide to then we're going




39

00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:14,769

to do a Sweet Caroline light greens




40

00:01:14,969 --> 00:01:17,709

sweet potato vine which I'm excited to




41

00:01:17,909 --> 00:01:19,299

have a foliage accent I haven't done




42

00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:20,590

that in these containers for the last




43

00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:23,528

few years because they are pretty water




44

00:01:23,728 --> 00:01:26,528

hungry but we do have drip set up to the




45

00:01:26,728 --> 00:01:27,969

pots which I need to work on a little




46

00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:29,759

bit today so that won't be a problem




47

00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,308

this next one is gorgeous and I haven't




48

00:01:33,509 --> 00:01:35,590

used a lot of it in this garden but this




49

00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:38,738

is a Lantana called lemon zest and I




50

00:01:38,938 --> 00:01:40,628

just think it's so pretty to have that




51

00:01:40,828 --> 00:01:42,549

bright pop of yellow back here there's a




52

00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:44,738

little bit of white like a little bit of




53

00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:47,500

lighter yellow and then that really




54

00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:50,079

bright yellow anyway these which should




55

00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,730

do really well because it's so hot and




56

00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:53,799

sunny in front of the barn typically we




57

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,509

have a really nice overcast day today




58

00:01:55,709 --> 00:01:58,689

then we have supertunia blue skies which




59

00:01:58,890 --> 00:02:02,500

this is so beautiful I love this color




60

00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:05,259

this actually reminds me of my mom she




61

00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:07,090

does a lot of like this sky blue color




62

00:02:07,290 --> 00:02:09,250

or light lavender and then coral and




63

00:02:09,449 --> 00:02:11,230

light yellow and white




64

00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:13,270

anyway that's probably where my love for




65

00:02:13,469 --> 00:02:14,000

soft




66

00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:16,910

like colors comes from I'm guessing and




67

00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:19,820

then supertunia white so I think it's




68

00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:21,789

just gonna be a really pretty blend of




69

00:02:21,989 --> 00:02:24,439

cheerful looking colors and then for the




70

00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,840

hay rack up top same blend of plants but




71

00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:28,340

I'm going to forego the fountain grass




72

00:02:28,539 --> 00:02:30,230

because that would kind of look odd I




73

00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:31,939

think up there the containers are




74

00:02:32,139 --> 00:02:33,890

cleaned out I have bags of soil right




75

00:02:34,090 --> 00:02:36,670

here I think I brought enough up here




76

00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:39,110

and I do want to show you the drip




77

00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:41,719

system here so it actually comes from




78

00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,330

inside the barn I don't know if you can




79

00:02:44,530 --> 00:02:45,920

see that right there it's kind of dark




80

00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,080

Aaron drilled a hole which is no big




81

00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,400

deal in our barn because there's like




82

00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:52,009

natural holes in our barn the drip comes




83

00:02:52,209 --> 00:02:53,630

right out through there and then through




84

00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:55,880

a hole that we drilled in the bottom




85

00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,830

there's actually four other drain holes




86

00:02:58,030 --> 00:03:00,110

on either side like all sides of this




87

00:03:00,310 --> 00:03:01,430

container and look at all those elm




88

00:03:01,629 --> 00:03:03,800

seeds oh they're just coming off the




89

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,150

trees like crazy right now




90

00:03:05,349 --> 00:03:07,400

so you can see the quarter inch drip




91

00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:09,230

tubing comes up through the bottom we'll




92

00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:11,450

fill it with soil and then it'll just




93

00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:13,430

kind of lay against the side you know




94

00:03:13,629 --> 00:03:14,719

it'll be kind of trapped against the




95

00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,640

side with soil and then we'll flip it




96

00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,439

over the top of the soil and put some




97

00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,849

emitters in I think I'm going to put




98

00:03:20,049 --> 00:03:24,080

four and it currently only has the one




99

00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,939

right now okay so let me get them filled




100

00:03:26,139 --> 00:03:28,409

with soil




101

00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:32,968

[Music]




102

00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:37,539

so I've got my clippers extra tubing




103

00:03:37,739 --> 00:03:39,189

these are half gallon per hour emitters




104

00:03:39,389 --> 00:03:41,409

I want four of them in each container




105

00:03:41,609 --> 00:03:44,110

this stakes right here will allow me to




106

00:03:44,310 --> 00:03:46,149

run the tubing through them and then I




107

00:03:46,348 --> 00:03:47,890

can place them a lot easier with the




108

00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:49,840

help of the stakes I'm going to use a




109

00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:53,560

quarter inch cross fitting coupler and a




110

00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,050

quarter inch T and then this tool right




111

00:03:56,250 --> 00:03:58,539

here helps push the tubing onto the




112

00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:00,189

emitters which is super handy I'll show




113

00:04:00,389 --> 00:04:00,849

you that in a minute




114

00:04:01,049 --> 00:04:03,519

so before I cut anything on this end I'm




115

00:04:03,718 --> 00:04:05,920

going to make all four of my lines with




116

00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,959

the half gallon emitters on the end it's




117

00:04:08,158 --> 00:04:09,670

just easier to do it like this so I'm




118

00:04:09,870 --> 00:04:11,319

going to cut four lengths of this




119

00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:13,629

quarter inch tubing and I can trim them




120

00:04:13,829 --> 00:04:16,990

to size when I'm all done so you want to




121

00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:18,939

give yourself a little extra like a




122

00:04:19,139 --> 00:04:20,139

little bit more than you think you're




123

00:04:20,339 --> 00:04:23,110

going to need so there we go got my four




124

00:04:23,310 --> 00:04:25,718

pieces and I've got my four emitters




125

00:04:25,918 --> 00:04:28,449

right here so this tool is really handy




126

00:04:28,649 --> 00:04:29,829

I learned about this from one of you




127

00:04:30,029 --> 00:04:32,139

guys on a video where I was kind of




128

00:04:32,339 --> 00:04:34,149

complaining about how hard it is to put




129

00:04:34,348 --> 00:04:36,579

any midders and couplers onto these




130

00:04:36,779 --> 00:04:38,110

pieces of tubing it like hurts your




131

00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:40,059

fingers really bad so I didn't know this




132

00:04:40,259 --> 00:04:41,949

tool existed so you stick your let me




133

00:04:42,149 --> 00:04:45,389

just grab one you stick your emitter in




134

00:04:45,589 --> 00:04:48,699

to one end of this tool and then you




135

00:04:48,899 --> 00:04:54,509

feed your tube through and then you just




136

00:04:54,709 --> 00:04:58,899

clamp them down just like that how did I




137

00:04:59,098 --> 00:05:01,240

not know that this tool existed okay I'm




138

00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:03,430

also going to do that with my couplers




139

00:05:03,629 --> 00:05:06,670

here too I know that I need to have two




140

00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:08,829

of them coming off of the T these are




141

00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:11,259

harder the couplers are harder than the




142

00:05:11,459 --> 00:05:15,218

emitters are that's perfect and you can




143

00:05:15,418 --> 00:05:16,749

twist these around like you can twist




144

00:05:16,949 --> 00:05:18,968

the coupler and the tubing to get them




145

00:05:19,168 --> 00:05:21,009

to go you know to get the tubes to go




146

00:05:21,209 --> 00:05:22,300

where you want them to go and you can




147

00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:24,850

configure the interior of your pot with




148

00:05:25,050 --> 00:05:28,120

drips and couplers however you want but




149

00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:29,860

what I'm going to do is I'm going to cut




150

00:05:30,060 --> 00:05:32,079

this right here this is the one that's




151

00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,399

feeding through the bottom of the pot




152

00:05:33,598 --> 00:05:35,649

you want to make sure it doesn't go down




153

00:05:35,848 --> 00:05:38,319

into soil and then I'm going to attach




154

00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:40,838

it to one end of the cross so see I've




155

00:05:41,038 --> 00:05:43,329

got these two sides right here and then




156

00:05:43,528 --> 00:05:45,069

I'm going to use a little piece I've got




157

00:05:45,269 --> 00:05:45,699

a hook that




158

00:05:45,899 --> 00:05:47,350

to the cross I'm just gonna use a little




159

00:05:47,550 --> 00:05:52,660

piece of tubing okay so this is the tube




160

00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:54,160

that comes up from underneath the pot




161

00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,920

we've got a cross coupler that has this




162

00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,870

one with an emitter that will take care




163

00:05:59,069 --> 00:06:00,610

of kind of these plants on this side and




164

00:06:00,810 --> 00:06:02,470

then this one which will take care of




165

00:06:02,670 --> 00:06:04,300

the front plants and then on the other




166

00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:06,370

side of the cross I just put a little




167

00:06:06,569 --> 00:06:09,100

piece of tube to a tee coupler so that I




168

00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:11,020

could attach another tube with an




169

00:06:11,220 --> 00:06:12,490

emitter that will take care of this side




170

00:06:12,689 --> 00:06:14,560

and then the last tube with an emitter




171

00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:16,689

to take care of the back and that is




172

00:06:16,889 --> 00:06:18,100

what I'm going to be doing on all the




173

00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:20,530

other containers along the front of the




174

00:06:20,730 --> 00:06:22,689

barn so now I'm going to add a little




175

00:06:22,889 --> 00:06:25,060

bit of slow-release plant food and this




176

00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:27,129

just helps give a slow continuous feed




177

00:06:27,329 --> 00:06:29,020

to your plants even though I do come in




178

00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:31,420

on a weekly basis and do water-soluble




179

00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:34,090

fertilizer because I want these plants




180

00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:35,920

to perform really really well and you




181

00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,569

need to feed them really well in order




182

00:06:37,769 --> 00:06:39,400

for that to happen so now I'm going to




183

00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,560

plant my centerpiece first which is the




184

00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:43,449

purple fountain grass and this is an




185

00:06:43,649 --> 00:06:45,100

interesting container because you would




186

00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:46,960

think that I would back my centerpiece




187

00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,240

up to the wall just because the




188

00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:50,860

containers kind of backed up to the wall




189

00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:53,110

but you see these from three sides you




190

00:06:53,310 --> 00:06:54,610

do see them from this side because our




191

00:06:54,810 --> 00:06:56,620

driveway runs this way you see them from




192

00:06:56,819 --> 00:06:58,540

the other side and from the front so I




193

00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:00,370

really do want the flower interest to be




194

00:07:00,569 --> 00:07:03,250

all the way around the centerpiece so




195

00:07:03,449 --> 00:07:04,629

we're just gonna kind of put this right




196

00:07:04,829 --> 00:07:07,629

in the center here I think that'll be




197

00:07:07,829 --> 00:07:10,810

really really nice okay and then I kind




198

00:07:11,009 --> 00:07:12,250

of forgot how I was gonna arrange all




199

00:07:12,449 --> 00:07:14,439

the rest of these I dunno I want my




200

00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:16,509

sweet potato vine to be in the front so




201

00:07:16,709 --> 00:07:18,310

we'll place that one you notice my




202

00:07:18,509 --> 00:07:20,079

emitter goes right to the potato vines




203

00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:22,270

root ball because this is the most water




204

00:07:22,470 --> 00:07:24,009

hungry of all the plants I'm putting in




205

00:07:24,209 --> 00:07:25,720

so you just want to be mindful of that




206

00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,770

there we go I think I'm just gonna place




207

00:07:29,970 --> 00:07:32,410

everything else I'm gonna kind of go in




208

00:07:32,610 --> 00:07:36,879

thirds here I think we'll see how this




209

00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:41,689

ends up there's the blue




210

00:07:41,889 --> 00:07:47,460

so white white and white




211

00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:50,160

okay so supertunias are all kind of




212

00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,230

split into thirds except for this little




213

00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:54,540

space here I'm going to plant those and




214

00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:56,639

then the Lantana's I'm gonna back plant




215

00:07:56,839 --> 00:07:58,470

because my supertunia is more of a




216

00:07:58,670 --> 00:08:00,780

dramatic Spiller and the Lantana is a




217

00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:03,540

little bit more tall so we'll get these




218

00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:07,050

all in and you'll see the root balls are




219

00:08:07,250 --> 00:08:08,819

not very bound this one needs water i




220

00:08:09,019 --> 00:08:10,860

haven't watered anything yet today and




221

00:08:11,060 --> 00:08:14,790

and you really don't need to tease the




222

00:08:14,990 --> 00:08:17,218

roots unless it's like severely root




223

00:08:17,418 --> 00:08:19,829

bound which this time of year you really




224

00:08:20,029 --> 00:08:22,829

don't find that that often unless you're




225

00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:24,150

waiting to get your annuals into a




226

00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:25,620

little bit later like this right here




227

00:08:25,819 --> 00:08:28,650

you can see a lot of soil still it looks




228

00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:30,750

pretty nice oh my goodness I just love




229

00:08:30,949 --> 00:08:34,500

this combination sometimes it's really




230

00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:36,620

hard for me to want to try out different




231

00:08:36,820 --> 00:08:39,419

plants because sometimes I find things




232

00:08:39,620 --> 00:08:41,699

that I love I'm like supertunia Bordeaux




233

00:08:41,899 --> 00:08:44,370

for example I love that plant and I




234

00:08:44,570 --> 00:08:46,409

could use every single year all over in




235

00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:48,870

all of my containers but then like I




236

00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:50,429

don't know we wouldn't have very many




237

00:08:50,629 --> 00:08:52,139

interesting videos for you guys if




238

00:08:52,339 --> 00:08:54,359

that's all I plant it and it is fun




239

00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,859

because sometimes when you try out new




240

00:08:56,059 --> 00:08:58,859

things you find something that is that




241

00:08:59,059 --> 00:09:01,169

becomes your new favorite and like these




242

00:09:01,370 --> 00:09:03,419

supertunia blue skies I haven't ever




243

00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:05,399

planted this particular supertunia I




244

00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,709

think it's fairly new anyway it's almost




245

00:09:07,909 --> 00:09:09,479

kind of an electric blue color when I




246

00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,909

look at it close I think I'm gonna




247

00:09:12,110 --> 00:09:15,329

really enjoy that see the Lantana's will




248

00:09:15,529 --> 00:09:17,129

put on a little more height I think yeah




249

00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:20,039

12 to 24 inches so I definitely didn't




250

00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,269

want them right in the front of the




251

00:09:21,470 --> 00:09:23,159

container we'll let the supertunia and




252

00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,889

the potato vine do the spilling thing




253

00:09:25,089 --> 00:09:27,120

Lantana's will grow up and be kind of my




254

00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,969

filler plant and then I've got my




255

00:09:29,169 --> 00:09:30,990

centerpiece in the purple fountain grass




256

00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:34,259

and I want to do four of these in all




257

00:09:34,460 --> 00:09:36,629

four corners of the square here like




258

00:09:36,830 --> 00:09:39,929

that and it does seem like an awful lot




259

00:09:40,129 --> 00:09:43,019

of plants if these were supertunia




260

00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:45,689

vistas out of that series I definitely




261

00:09:45,889 --> 00:09:47,879

wouldn't plant that many in here because




262

00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,439

they grow like they're so vigorous but




263

00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:53,389

we'll see we'll see how vigorous they I




264

00:09:53,589 --> 00:09:55,250

mean all supertunias are really great




265

00:09:55,450 --> 00:09:57,740

growers and they're vigorous plants but




266

00:09:57,940 --> 00:09:58,878

there's nothing quite like those




267

00:09:59,078 --> 00:10:01,519

supertunia vistas that's why we use




268

00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,229

those in the hay racks up front because




269

00:10:03,429 --> 00:10:05,389

you can get away with using far less of




270

00:10:05,589 --> 00:10:08,089

those than really anything else and it




271

00:10:08,289 --> 00:10:09,559

kind of scoop everything away from the




272

00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:11,049

purple fountain grass a little bit




273

00:10:11,250 --> 00:10:13,578

because that will need to its own space




274

00:10:13,778 --> 00:10:17,599

and I think that that looks gorgeous so




275

00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:19,549

even though I have a drip system run to




276

00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:21,109

these containers every time I plant




277

00:10:21,309 --> 00:10:22,669

something new I always water it in with




278

00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:25,008

a hose to begin with just to make sure




279

00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:26,000

everything's settled




280

00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,258

I check around the root balls to make




281

00:10:27,458 --> 00:10:29,120

sure I didn't miss any places because




282

00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,139

you want to make sure that there's no




283

00:10:30,339 --> 00:10:31,849

air coming up against any other roots




284

00:10:32,049 --> 00:10:34,039

and I just want to settle everything in




285

00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,359

from overhead and then the drip system




286

00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,429

can take off from there and the only




287

00:10:37,629 --> 00:10:38,719

maintenance I will have in this




288

00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:41,870

container is weekly fertilizing and then




289

00:10:42,070 --> 00:10:43,729

possibly trimming toward the middle part




290

00:10:43,929 --> 00:10:45,318

of summer summer because these will




291

00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:47,089

probably reach the ground and I don't




292

00:10:47,289 --> 00:10:48,469

really want them trailing all over the




293

00:10:48,669 --> 00:10:49,909

place so I'll probably keep them level




294

00:10:50,110 --> 00:10:51,919

with the bottom of the pot but all of




295

00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,990

these do not require deadheading they're




296

00:10:54,190 --> 00:10:56,179

really great that way so now let me




297

00:10:56,379 --> 00:10:57,649

tackle the rest of these containers




298

00:10:57,850 --> 00:10:59,089

along the bottom of the bar and then




299

00:10:59,289 --> 00:11:00,349

we'll go up and do the hay rack here




300

00:11:00,549 --> 00:11:02,479

they are all planted and they look so




301

00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,029

pretty I really like this blend of color




302

00:11:05,230 --> 00:11:07,068

and there's no pink are you guys




303

00:11:07,269 --> 00:11:08,899

surprised so now that I'm done with




304

00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:10,818

these containers I need to tackle the




305

00:11:11,019 --> 00:11:12,859

hay rack up there and I'm trying to




306

00:11:13,059 --> 00:11:14,328

remember how I did that last year I




307

00:11:14,528 --> 00:11:16,969

think I used an extension ladder because




308

00:11:17,169 --> 00:11:18,828

only one side of the window opens and I




309

00:11:19,028 --> 00:11:20,508

couldn't reach all the way to the end of




310

00:11:20,708 --> 00:11:23,089

the hay rack on one side so I do think I




311

00:11:23,289 --> 00:11:25,008

need to get a ladder out and I don't




312

00:11:25,208 --> 00:11:26,209

even know if they're soil in there or




313

00:11:26,409 --> 00:11:28,099

not from last year we'll have to run




314

00:11:28,299 --> 00:11:29,539

upstairs and see it's also starting to




315

00:11:29,740 --> 00:11:31,729

rain a little bit out here hopefully it




316

00:11:31,929 --> 00:11:35,849

doesn't pick up it's nice today though




317

00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:44,069

yep dang so I need to clean that soil




318

00:11:44,269 --> 00:11:48,479

out and then put fresh stuff in and then




319

00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,339

plant it's a pretty view down to the




320

00:11:50,539 --> 00:11:54,969

garden though look at that I love it




321

00:11:55,169 --> 00:12:13,308

[Music]




322

00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:17,049

I just got dirt and Coco fiber all over




323

00:12:17,250 --> 00:12:20,159

my face so I got the ladder set up and




324

00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,469

then what I did was I like heaved the




325

00:12:23,669 --> 00:12:26,409

whole Coco fiber liner and soil out of




326

00:12:26,610 --> 00:12:28,000

the hay rack and then just tossed it




327

00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,479

inside so that's one way to clean out




328

00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,490

your Coco fiber liners I think I




329

00:12:33,690 --> 00:12:35,939

probably just made a huge mess upstairs




330

00:12:36,139 --> 00:12:39,549

yeah huge mess a lot safer doing it that




331

00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:40,929

way than trying to come down the ladder




332

00:12:41,129 --> 00:12:43,059

with it though and now I've got to fill




333

00:12:43,259 --> 00:12:45,250

those both up with soil so I've got




334

00:12:45,450 --> 00:12:47,169

brand new fresh soil in here else well




335

00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:48,849

as the slow release fertilizer you can




336

00:12:49,049 --> 00:12:50,529

kind of see it I already mixed it in and




337

00:12:50,730 --> 00:12:52,659

then I've got three one gallon per hour




338

00:12:52,860 --> 00:12:55,029

emitters and each one of these hair acts




339

00:12:55,230 --> 00:12:57,729

and then I went up the stairs and put




340

00:12:57,929 --> 00:12:59,859

the plants out the window here so I'm




341

00:13:00,059 --> 00:13:01,479

going to start arranging I think I'm




342

00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,149

gonna do two blues and two whites in




343

00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:06,309

each one see how this hay rack is it's




344

00:13:06,509 --> 00:13:08,409

split into two I had to do it that way




345

00:13:08,610 --> 00:13:11,500

to actually like make the width of this




346

00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:13,089

window because I couldn't find one that




347

00:13:13,289 --> 00:13:16,419

was the exact width and then maybe -




348

00:13:16,620 --> 00:13:19,299

potato vine like one on each side so




349

00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:22,059

that it's really even in the middle and




350

00:13:22,259 --> 00:13:24,849

then all the Lantana lemon zest will be




351

00:13:25,049 --> 00:13:27,699

kind of toward the back all right




352

00:13:27,899 --> 00:13:28,879

here we go




353

00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:44,378

[Music]




354

00:13:44,578 --> 00:13:47,779

while that was an adventure I ended up




355

00:13:47,980 --> 00:13:50,029

only putting three supertunias per hair




356

00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:53,209

act so I did a blue a white and then a




357

00:13:53,409 --> 00:13:56,539

blue and then I did three Lantana to




358

00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:58,459

back it because I do get quite large I




359

00:13:58,659 --> 00:14:01,729

didn't space that one quite right there




360

00:14:01,929 --> 00:14:02,709

we go




361

00:14:02,909 --> 00:14:05,209

only difference on the other side is I




362

00:14:05,409 --> 00:14:07,459

just put the one potato vine which




363

00:14:07,659 --> 00:14:09,709

hopefully will kind of grow I pointed it




364

00:14:09,909 --> 00:14:10,639

this direction




365

00:14:10,839 --> 00:14:12,169

hopefully it'll grow and look like it's




366

00:14:12,370 --> 00:14:13,909

right in the middle all right so let's




367

00:14:14,110 --> 00:14:15,349

go downstairs and see what it looks like




368

00:14:15,549 --> 00:14:16,729

from down there although I don't think




369

00:14:16,929 --> 00:14:17,868

it'll look that great




370

00:14:18,068 --> 00:14:19,519

until it starts filling in a little bit




371

00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,589

and spilling over the edges and then I'm




372

00:14:21,789 --> 00:14:23,058

gonna run inside quick and clean off my




373

00:14:23,259 --> 00:14:25,549

face before I continue punching Crum I




374

00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:26,839

forgot to close the window while I was




375

00:14:27,039 --> 00:14:29,269

up there but you can see the flowers I




376

00:14:29,470 --> 00:14:30,828

don't know how well it seems kind of




377

00:14:31,028 --> 00:14:32,808

dark in the camera I can see them a




378

00:14:33,009 --> 00:14:34,159

little bit peeking over the edge but




379

00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,448

once they start spilling it'll look




380

00:14:35,649 --> 00:14:37,909

amazing and I love that they will match




381

00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:40,159

the pots right underneath so I'm up on




382

00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,359

the west side of the house getting ready




383

00:14:41,559 --> 00:14:43,308

to plant these four beautiful urns that




384

00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:45,198

we placed recently I think this is




385

00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:46,729

actually the last planting project I'm




386

00:14:46,929 --> 00:14:48,409

going to get to this afternoon because I




387

00:14:48,610 --> 00:14:49,789

got a really late start and they're




388

00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:51,289

taking me a lot longer than I thought




389

00:14:51,490 --> 00:14:51,889

they would




390

00:14:52,089 --> 00:14:53,990

with all the drip and all that I did




391

00:14:54,190 --> 00:14:55,539

fill all of these with soil all the way




392

00:14:55,740 --> 00:14:58,698

already just now and I got the drip all




393

00:14:58,899 --> 00:15:00,078

set up because it's pretty much exactly




394

00:15:00,278 --> 00:15:02,059

the same as what I just did I'll show




395

00:15:02,259 --> 00:15:04,248

you a close-up I only did three emitters




396

00:15:04,448 --> 00:15:06,469

in each urn so now all I need to do is




397

00:15:06,669 --> 00:15:08,779

put my slow release fertilizer in show




398

00:15:08,980 --> 00:15:10,878

you the plants and get them in the urns




399

00:15:11,078 --> 00:15:13,309

first off before we go to the urns since




400

00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:14,688

I'm standing right here look at these




401

00:15:14,889 --> 00:15:17,868

climbing Colette roses aren't they the




402

00:15:18,068 --> 00:15:22,399

most beautiful things I just love them




403

00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,539

and they're starting to climb up the




404

00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:25,729

trellis Arbor whatever




405

00:15:25,929 --> 00:15:29,628

here comes Russell and I did plant some




406

00:15:29,828 --> 00:15:32,688

supertunia snowdrift in each one of the




407

00:15:32,889 --> 00:15:34,938

boxwood swoops here because I thought it




408

00:15:35,139 --> 00:15:36,258

would be fun to try it out in the




409

00:15:36,458 --> 00:15:38,479

landscape as opposed to containers like




410

00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:40,729

we did out at my parents house so we'll




411

00:15:40,929 --> 00:15:42,139

see how they do each one of these is




412

00:15:42,339 --> 00:15:43,729

supposed to get like two feet tall by




413

00:15:43,929 --> 00:15:47,058

four feet wide so I only planted six and




414

00:15:47,259 --> 00:15:48,558

I think they'll fill in this space just




415

00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:50,448

perfect and here are the plants that I




416

00:15:50,649 --> 00:15:52,639

chose so we're gonna do another purple




417

00:15:52,839 --> 00:15:54,469

fountain grass I got some great big ones




418

00:15:54,669 --> 00:15:55,909

for this project because I kind of




419

00:15:56,110 --> 00:15:56,569

wanted insta




420

00:15:56,769 --> 00:15:58,939

impact and then we're gonna surround




421

00:15:59,139 --> 00:16:01,279

those grasses with some diamond frost




422

00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,769

euphorbia which has that beautiful




423

00:16:03,970 --> 00:16:07,279

ethereal kind of cloud like I don't know




424

00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,289

it's just so pretty the little white




425

00:16:09,490 --> 00:16:11,629

blooms and then super Belle's white




426

00:16:11,830 --> 00:16:15,409

right here and then some dichondra




427

00:16:15,610 --> 00:16:17,870

silver Falls for our weeping foliage




428

00:16:18,070 --> 00:16:20,689

accent so last year I planted super




429

00:16:20,889 --> 00:16:22,639

Belle's white diamond frosty for BIA and




430

00:16:22,839 --> 00:16:26,000

then a skyrocket Pennisetum I think no




431

00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,649

desert plains Pennisetum in the




432

00:16:27,850 --> 00:16:29,479

containers in front of the vegetable




433

00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:32,479

garden and they were so gorgeous they




434

00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:34,578

did so well and these containers are not




435

00:16:34,778 --> 00:16:36,258

that far away I mean the vegetable




436

00:16:36,458 --> 00:16:38,120

gardens right there so these are gonna




437

00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,159

get pretty much the same conditions that




438

00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,379

that container had last year and so I




439

00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:43,909

kind of wanted to replicate that this




440

00:16:44,110 --> 00:16:46,039

year because I had such great luck also




441

00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,008

having the supertunia snowdrift in the




442

00:16:49,208 --> 00:16:51,379

boxwood so having the white on that side




443

00:16:51,580 --> 00:16:52,669

of the pathway and then drawing the




444

00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:54,979

white over into the containers I think




445

00:16:55,179 --> 00:16:57,500

will be a really restful thing to do and




446

00:16:57,700 --> 00:16:59,120

then I can start filling in the rest of




447

00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,309

the area with some other color but I




448

00:17:01,509 --> 00:17:03,039

think I'm gonna do one fountain grass




449

00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,049

maybe three of all the rest of the




450

00:17:06,250 --> 00:17:07,729

plants will have to see these are a




451

00:17:07,929 --> 00:17:09,229

little bit smaller than the planters I




452

00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:11,269

just planted so this is the esplanade




453

00:17:11,470 --> 00:17:14,029

urn from unique stone on a pillar that I




454

00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:15,559

cannot remember the name of these do not




455

00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:17,329

come together you have to order them




456

00:17:17,529 --> 00:17:20,899

separately and but they're beautiful I




457

00:17:21,099 --> 00:17:24,259

absolutely absolutely love them and you




458

00:17:24,459 --> 00:17:26,450

can see the drip the quarter inch drip




459

00:17:26,650 --> 00:17:28,190

comes right through the bottom in fact




460

00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:29,479

we showed this to you in another video




461

00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:31,460

we run the drip up because there is a




462

00:17:31,660 --> 00:17:33,079

hole through the pillar and then a hole




463

00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:34,669

the drainage hole up through the urn and




464

00:17:34,869 --> 00:17:37,069

then it comes in right here




465

00:17:37,269 --> 00:17:39,319

I put a Crofts coupler and then I did




466

00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:41,240

three emitters in this container just




467

00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,549

kind of split it into thirds so all of




468

00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:45,629

these urns are ready for planting




469

00:17:45,829 --> 00:18:09,408

[Music]




470

00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:13,399

alright guys they're all planted and I




471

00:18:13,599 --> 00:18:15,889

love love them I think they look like




472

00:18:16,089 --> 00:18:18,529

such an elegant classic mix of colors




473

00:18:18,730 --> 00:18:21,409

and textures I just love like the




474

00:18:21,609 --> 00:18:23,480

all-white look with that grass in the




475

00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,430

middle and everything of course will




476

00:18:25,630 --> 00:18:27,589

grow crazy they'll get really big I




477

00:18:27,789 --> 00:18:30,200

ended up doing the one grass and then I




478

00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,358

did three diamond frost euphorbias kind




479

00:18:32,558 --> 00:18:34,579

of set back from the edge and then in




480

00:18:34,779 --> 00:18:36,589

front of the diamond frost I did the




481

00:18:36,789 --> 00:18:38,509

dichondra silver falls and then in




482

00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:40,309

between each grouping of that I did the




483

00:18:40,509 --> 00:18:42,619

super Belles white and I'm hopeful that




484

00:18:42,819 --> 00:18:44,930

these will look just like the containers




485

00:18:45,130 --> 00:18:46,759

that were in front of the vegetable




486

00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,329

garden




487

00:18:47,529 --> 00:18:49,519

I hope they fill in and are as full of




488

00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,039

flowers as those were but I think it was




489

00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,690

kind of the right thing to do in terms




490

00:18:53,890 --> 00:18:56,899

of color because it looks so great with




491

00:18:57,099 --> 00:19:00,099

this style of urn as well as the white




492

00:19:00,299 --> 00:19:02,000

supertunias that we have on the other




493

00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,858

side I just love it and the North Pole




494

00:19:04,058 --> 00:19:06,229

Arbor vytas are doing so well we were




495

00:19:06,429 --> 00:19:07,849

looking at pictures the other day of




496

00:19:08,049 --> 00:19:09,950

what they look like when we planted them




497

00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:13,250

and they were about they were barely




498

00:19:13,450 --> 00:19:16,369

over this second like this middle I




499

00:19:16,569 --> 00:19:19,399

guess middle fence rail right here so




500

00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:21,470

they have grown significantly I mean




501

00:19:21,670 --> 00:19:23,839

putting on that much growth and then




502

00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:26,779

they've at least doubled if not more in




503

00:19:26,980 --> 00:19:29,509

size I can't wait until they become a




504

00:19:29,710 --> 00:19:31,220

solid green wall because can you imagine




505

00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:33,710

these urns set apart from any




506

00:19:33,910 --> 00:19:35,119

distractions you know in the background




507

00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:37,608

but just having that solid green while




508

00:19:37,808 --> 00:19:40,399

it's 10 to 15 feet tall I think the




509

00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:43,789

contrast will be beautiful we also did




510

00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:47,240

end up my mom found seven more North




511

00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,009

Pole Arbor vitaes ordered them in for us




512

00:19:49,210 --> 00:19:51,889

so we could finish off the hedge it's




513

00:19:52,089 --> 00:19:53,269

gonna look a little funny for a while




514

00:19:53,470 --> 00:19:56,419

but these will catch up but because I




515

00:19:56,619 --> 00:19:58,669

didn't realize I hadn't really thought




516

00:19:58,869 --> 00:20:01,069

of the urns I was going to do a big




517

00:20:01,269 --> 00:20:03,169

evergreen right here and so the the




518

00:20:03,369 --> 00:20:04,789

arbor vitae hedge was gonna kind of




519

00:20:04,990 --> 00:20:07,099

disappear behind that big spruce but




520

00:20:07,299 --> 00:20:09,139

then I decided to go with the urns so I




521

00:20:09,339 --> 00:20:11,000

need to continue my green wall all the




522

00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,710

way down to the birch and then this is




523

00:20:12,910 --> 00:20:14,479

where I'll start in with my bigger




524

00:20:14,679 --> 00:20:16,460

plantings of evergreens so that this




525

00:20:16,660 --> 00:20:18,200

will be my disappearing wall kind of




526

00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,180

like right in here I hope that makes




527

00:20:20,380 --> 00:20:21,609

sense but




528

00:20:21,809 --> 00:20:23,559

this has been kind of an evolving




529

00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:25,599

process just like everything is in our




530

00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:28,899

garden so it's been really fun to kind




531

00:20:29,099 --> 00:20:30,849

of see it go from what it wasn't we




532

00:20:31,049 --> 00:20:33,669

moved in to what it is today and what it




533

00:20:33,869 --> 00:20:35,409

I can kind of see the potential for what




534

00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:37,599

it will be here and even like a couple




535

00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:39,399

years or five years or ten years it's




536

00:20:39,599 --> 00:20:41,319

going to be amazing and the last little




537

00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:43,269

bit is still yet to be mulched this is




538

00:20:43,470 --> 00:20:45,039

where we ended up we have our second




539

00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,859

mulch over there we are just needing




540

00:20:48,059 --> 00:20:50,409

extra time to get that done but we're




541

00:20:50,609 --> 00:20:52,899

almost there so anyway guys that is it




542

00:20:53,099 --> 00:20:55,389

for this video I got 2 big groupings of




543

00:20:55,589 --> 00:20:57,490

pots done which makes me happy they're




544

00:20:57,690 --> 00:21:00,159

all on drip so after today after I water




545

00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,200

them all in they are good to go for this




546

00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,909

season in terms of that I don't have




547

00:21:04,109 --> 00:21:06,129

like a daily maintenance tour with them




548

00:21:06,329 --> 00:21:08,019

which is awesome and that's what takes a




549

00:21:08,220 --> 00:21:09,519

little extra time getting them all set




550

00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,549

up like that but it's 100% worth it




551

00:21:12,750 --> 00:21:14,289

because I can enjoy them so much more




552

00:21:14,490 --> 00:21:15,849

when I'm not feeling like I'm a slave to




553

00:21:16,049 --> 00:21:17,980

them every day you know making sure that




554

00:21:18,180 --> 00:21:20,079

either myself or somebody else is here




555

00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:22,419

to give them water so anyway thank you




556

00:21:22,619 --> 00:21:23,740
