00:00:15,330 --> 00:00:17,280

5

00:00:25,969 --> 00:00:28,440

I'm out with the boys in the garden all




6

00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,570

the boys little buddies behind you here




7

00:00:30,769 --> 00:00:33,719

we're gonna plant five raspberry plants




8

00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,750

I was out here prepping this area to put




9

00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:38,659

in the raspberries digging up the soil




10

00:00:38,859 --> 00:00:41,909

adding a bunch of this partially




11

00:00:42,109 --> 00:00:44,669

composted manure and I found this cool




12

00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:47,369

little elderberry plant here which I




13

00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:50,070

will keep and that came from actually




14

00:00:50,270 --> 00:00:51,839

just burying some chunks of elderberry




15

00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:54,029

root that I dug up from the world these




16

00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:57,769

raspberries came from the Indiana




17

00:00:57,969 --> 00:01:01,559

Berrien plant company these are a




18

00:01:01,759 --> 00:01:05,399

variety called Nantahala and if you're




19

00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:07,049

from around here you'll recognize the




20

00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:09,030

name immediately this variety was




21

00:01:09,230 --> 00:01:15,090

developed by NC State and I bought it




22

00:01:15,290 --> 00:01:17,700

because supposed to taste good and do




23

00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,590

well around here




24

00:01:26,019 --> 00:01:30,619

it's okay dude all right that's that




25

00:01:30,819 --> 00:01:35,628

look at these silly cows hey lady




26

00:01:35,828 --> 00:01:43,738

any babies it's been pretty rainy the




27

00:01:43,938 --> 00:01:45,628

past two days which has been nice for




28

00:01:45,828 --> 00:01:48,439

the garden and pasture and everything




29

00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,890

the cow has been out in the rain we




30

00:01:52,090 --> 00:01:53,878

would pretty much try to keep her




31

00:01:54,078 --> 00:01:57,599

outside and have generally been happier




32

00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:00,329

overall when we kept the cow that we had




33

00:02:00,530 --> 00:02:03,418

out of the barn she will stay so much




34

00:02:03,618 --> 00:02:07,918

cleaner out here then she will in the




35

00:02:08,118 --> 00:02:08,399

barn




36

00:02:08,598 --> 00:02:13,710

and not only will she stay cleaner which




37

00:02:13,909 --> 00:02:17,099

makes milking cleaning easier keeps your




38

00:02:17,299 --> 00:02:20,939

milk cleaner the barn stays a lot




39

00:02:21,139 --> 00:02:22,710

cleaner too so everything stays cleaner




40

00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:24,599

if she just stays out and and the rain




41

00:02:24,799 --> 00:02:26,910

doesn't hurt her you know if it's storm




42

00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:28,050

and real bad we might let her in the




43

00:02:28,250 --> 00:02:31,819

barn but if I turn my gaze over this way




44

00:02:32,019 --> 00:02:34,140

there's an apple tree that's doing great




45

00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:37,680

but right in here there are two ducks




46

00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:40,680

sitting on duck eggs




47

00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:44,098

[Music]




48

00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:51,049

[Music]




49

00:02:54,169 --> 00:02:57,800

our raspberries are in the ground one




50

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,950

two three four five and then between




51

00:03:02,150 --> 00:03:04,830

this post and that corner up there we'll




52

00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:07,618

put in 13 more plants and I think it's




53

00:03:07,818 --> 00:03:10,140

five different varieties the potatoes




54

00:03:10,340 --> 00:03:11,759

are doing awesome I've started just




55

00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:13,740

mulching them with grass that I cut by




56

00:03:13,939 --> 00:03:15,170

hand from around the edge of the garden




57

00:03:15,370 --> 00:03:18,890

this lettuce looks awesome but it needs




58

00:03:19,090 --> 00:03:20,640

thinning but it's just growing




59

00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,550

beautifully this is joyful garden she




60

00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:26,100

needs to do some work on it these peas




61

00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:28,850

along the fence are looking really puny




62

00:03:29,050 --> 00:03:31,950

so last night I cut the grass all along




63

00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:34,259

the fence to try to give him a little




64

00:03:34,459 --> 00:03:37,020

more sunlight and then I fertilized them




65

00:03:37,219 --> 00:03:40,200

this morning with some fish fertilizer




66

00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,780

to try to just get them to pop the




67

00:03:42,979 --> 00:03:45,060

asparagus is doing awesome and there's




68

00:03:45,259 --> 00:03:46,950

just a nice thick steak look at this




69

00:03:47,150 --> 00:03:49,770

giant here and then under the feet of




70

00:03:49,969 --> 00:03:53,550

the asparagus there are thousands of




71

00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:57,780

little asparagus plants here all along




72

00:03:57,979 --> 00:04:00,870

so if we let it this whole area here and




73

00:04:01,069 --> 00:04:01,530

here




74

00:04:01,729 --> 00:04:04,289

will turn into a big giant asparagus bed




75

00:04:04,489 --> 00:04:06,840

the rhubarb looks really great and




76

00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:09,450

there's comfrey coming up down here in




77

00:04:09,650 --> 00:04:12,960

the path the strawberry bed looks really




78

00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:15,719

really good and here are onions which




79

00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:18,900

this was my last project is weeding and




80

00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:21,020

mulching this is gonna be my next one




81

00:04:21,220 --> 00:04:23,189

weeding the onions probably mulching




82

00:04:23,389 --> 00:04:25,439

them in some way and here's Chinese




83

00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:28,680

chives which are pretty tasty the garlic




84

00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:33,000

looks good but needs weeding kale the




85

00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:38,670

same beets the same spinach looks pretty




86

00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:43,949

good that is they think radishes green




87

00:04:44,149 --> 00:04:45,689

onions the kids are constantly eating




88

00:04:45,889 --> 00:04:47,278

these you can see all these tops pulled




89

00:04:47,478 --> 00:04:49,939

off that's from children eating them and




90

00:04:50,139 --> 00:04:52,920

then if some radishes in here that one




91

00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,689

cabbage is doing in this tunnel it's




103

00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:34,329

doing awesome and it is not being eaten




104

00:05:34,529 --> 00:05:37,030

by caterpillars at least I saw a little




105

00:05:37,230 --> 00:05:42,370

slug damage on one of them look at this




106

00:05:42,569 --> 00:05:46,150

a lot of weeds but the plants look




107

00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:47,980

awesome and then you're getting they're




108

00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:50,079

big and they're strong really pretty




109

00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,410

little plants there this portion of the




110

00:05:53,610 --> 00:05:55,120

garden behind me is almost completely




111

00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:56,680

planted there's a little open real




112

00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:59,079

estate here down at the end there and




113

00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,840

then in the ends of those beds but our




114

00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,660

early gardens almost totally in next




115

00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:08,860

comes this mess up here this part of the




116

00:06:09,060 --> 00:06:11,770

garden as far as the soil goes is pretty




117

00:06:11,970 --> 00:06:13,449

significantly worse than what's behind




118

00:06:13,649 --> 00:06:16,540

me down here we've put a ton actually




119

00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:19,139

multiple tons honestly literally of




120

00:06:19,339 --> 00:06:23,050

organic manure compost into this lower




121

00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:25,210

portion and just not as much into the




122

00:06:25,410 --> 00:06:27,639

upper portion so we're gonna row to till




123

00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,069

this upper portion so that's what's next




124

00:06:30,269 --> 00:06:31,240

in the garden and that's pretty much




125

00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:33,189

wraps up our garden tour let's go see




126

00:06:33,389 --> 00:06:34,730

some baby goats




127

00:06:34,930 --> 00:06:38,050

[Music]




128

00:06:38,250 --> 00:06:41,088

so far this is the most vigorous of all




129

00:06:41,288 --> 00:06:44,480

the apple trees and it's a Liberty all




130

00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,759

of these trees are putting on a good




131

00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:52,910

amount of new growth this is a straight




132

00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:56,990

start break star and we're gonna have to




133

00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:59,199

pick these off here but this thing has




134

00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:02,240

probably twenty or thirty little tiny




135

00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:05,778

though apples on yeah that's just a




136

00:07:05,978 --> 00:07:10,550

second year in the ground tree I got




137

00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:15,860

some hay for you do you want it there's




138

00:07:16,060 --> 00:07:18,139

a few stray chickens but we'll let the




139

00:07:18,339 --> 00:07:21,538

majority of these chickens




140

00:07:28,709 --> 00:07:30,579

150

00:08:17,069 --> 00:08:18,999

hey maybe I could interested interest




151

00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:26,528

you in some fly spray ma'am I think




152

00:08:26,728 --> 00:08:28,778

that's why she's making that little bit




153

00:08:28,978 --> 00:08:31,468

of a bellowing film so bad this year




154

00:08:31,668 --> 00:08:33,669

well she doesn't like it so she's




155

00:08:33,870 --> 00:08:37,059

running from me what count does like




156

00:08:37,259 --> 00:08:39,699

being straight dolly never liked fly




157

00:08:39,899 --> 00:08:42,819

spray I did get thumb on her just now so




158

00:08:43,019 --> 00:08:43,929

hopefully that will help her be more




159

00:08:44,129 --> 00:08:46,639

comfortable




160

00:08:56,379 --> 00:08:58,709

[Music] view all

 

 
 
1

00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:01,749

hey guys how's it going I am so excited




2

00:00:01,949 --> 00:00:03,609

for today's project we are going to be




3

00:00:03,810 --> 00:00:05,828

planting up all 40 of these hay racks




4

00:00:06,028 --> 00:00:08,108

that run along the front of our fence




5

00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:10,600

line here we did this last year for the




6

00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,030

very first time and it was incredible we




7

00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:16,240

enjoyed it so much and I planted so many




8

00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,970

plants up here we had lemon coral sedum




9

00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:21,400

super bean a large lilac blue supertunia




10

00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,620

royal magenta and supertunia Bordeaux it




11

00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:25,870

was a beautiful blend of plants but I




12

00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:28,239

think because it was the first year of




13

00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:29,560

the project I was so excited that I




14

00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,478

overkilled on how many plants I put any




15

00:00:31,678 --> 00:00:35,108

cherrick like I put 11 plants in each




16

00:00:35,308 --> 00:00:37,628

one of these hay racks which is probably




17

00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:39,939

a little bit too much so I'm taking a




18

00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:41,439

different approach this year in fact let




19

00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,479

me show you what I have planned in terms




20

00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:44,829

of plants we've got them in the back of




21

00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:47,259

the truck so I'm going to use a mixture




22

00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:48,788

of three different plants we've got




23

00:00:48,988 --> 00:00:50,858

supertunia vista bubble gum which is a




24

00:00:51,058 --> 00:00:53,259

favorite of mine we have supertunia




25

00:00:53,460 --> 00:00:54,338

vista silver berry




26

00:00:54,539 --> 00:00:56,739

and then a sweet caroline light green




27

00:00:56,939 --> 00:00:59,140

sweet potato vine so instead of 11




28

00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:01,959

plants I'm gonna use just 5 in each one




29

00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:03,369

of these hay racks because I really




30

00:01:03,570 --> 00:01:06,189

wanted to show you guys how you can




31

00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:08,409

create something like this any type of




32

00:01:08,609 --> 00:01:10,149

project either in a container or in your




33

00:01:10,349 --> 00:01:12,310

landscape with huge impact for a lot




34

00:01:12,510 --> 00:01:14,379

less if you choose the right kind of




35

00:01:14,579 --> 00:01:16,959

plant and all of the supertunia Vista




36

00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:20,250

series they're amazingly vigorous




37

00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:22,750

they're just amazing plants and like no




38

00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:24,250

matter where I've planted them they




39

00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:26,980

always do really well and they grow huge




40

00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:30,128

full of bloom so I've got all three of




41

00:01:30,328 --> 00:01:31,599

these plants kind of lined out in the




42

00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:33,369

basket because I wanted to show you kind




43

00:01:33,569 --> 00:01:35,469

of what I'm thinking in terms of layout




44

00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:37,390

so I'm going to start with a Vista




45

00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:38,950

silver berry on this side and then a




46

00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:40,988

bubblegum my sweet potato vine will be




47

00:01:41,188 --> 00:01:43,058

in the middle here silver berry and then




48

00:01:43,259 --> 00:01:45,399

bubblegum again so you'll notice that we




49

00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:47,980

already have soil this is fresh soil I




50

00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:50,558

brought a bag of it up here this is what




51

00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:52,959

they're full of just because this is




52

00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:55,329

such a small reservoir I don't feel like




53

00:01:55,530 --> 00:01:57,189

I can recycle soil from last year




54

00:01:57,390 --> 00:01:59,079

because those plants utilize every last




55

00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,448

ounce in fact we will be adding




56

00:02:01,649 --> 00:02:03,278

fertilizer we fertilize on a weekly




57

00:02:03,478 --> 00:02:05,159

basis to keep the plants really happy




58

00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:07,959

annuals that you want to perform really




59

00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:10,300

big need quite a bit of food so I'm also




60

00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:12,340

I haven't done this yet today but I'm




61

00:02:12,539 --> 00:02:13,330

going to be adding in




62

00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:15,310

a slow-release plant food into the soil




63

00:02:15,509 --> 00:02:17,590

before I plant couple of other things I




64

00:02:17,789 --> 00:02:19,150

wanted to mention these are the same




65

00:02:19,349 --> 00:02:21,640

Coco fiber liners from last year there




66

00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,439

is a difference in quality you can find




67

00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,510

really thick ones or fairly thin ones




68

00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:27,700

spring for the thick ones because they




69

00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:30,009

will last you for several years so these




70

00:02:30,209 --> 00:02:32,050

liners camera with the hay racks which




71

00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:33,790

were all sent to us by garden artisans




72

00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:35,830

last year and then I also wanted to




73

00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:37,540

mention the irrigation so we did run




74

00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:39,490

drip and I think when you're doing a




75

00:02:39,689 --> 00:02:41,710

project especially of this size you want




76

00:02:41,909 --> 00:02:43,450

to make sure to have irrigation set up




77

00:02:43,650 --> 00:02:45,850

really for for anything if you can run




78

00:02:46,050 --> 00:02:47,770

drip to any of your containers it makes




79

00:02:47,969 --> 00:02:50,350

life so much easier but we did four to




80

00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:52,780

gallon per hour emitters per basket and




81

00:02:52,979 --> 00:02:55,330

in the spring we ran it for about 10 to




82

00:02:55,530 --> 00:02:56,890

15 minutes every day which is what we'll




83

00:02:57,090 --> 00:02:59,080

start with today and then as it gets




84

00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,939

warmer or if we have extra windy days




85

00:03:01,139 --> 00:03:03,130

we'll increase the amount of time so




86

00:03:03,330 --> 00:03:04,630

like last year when it was above




87

00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:07,810

probably I think above 90 we started




88

00:03:08,009 --> 00:03:09,430

running them twice a day so morning and




89

00:03:09,629 --> 00:03:11,439

evening for 15 minutes each time and our




90

00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,469

plants were extremely extremely happy so




91

00:03:14,669 --> 00:03:16,150

let me go ahead and plant this one up




92

00:03:16,349 --> 00:03:18,069

just so I can show you guys how this




93

00:03:18,269 --> 00:03:19,689

whole thing is gonna go every single one




94

00:03:19,889 --> 00:03:21,160

of these hay racks would be planted




95

00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,560

exactly the same way I just want to give




96

00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:24,789

you guys a feel for it




97

00:03:24,989 --> 00:03:27,430

so in this hay rack I'm just gonna add a




98

00:03:27,629 --> 00:03:30,250

few tablespoons it's a brand new




99

00:03:30,449 --> 00:03:32,770

container a few tablespoons of this




100

00:03:32,969 --> 00:03:36,069

continuous release plant food and I'm




101

00:03:36,269 --> 00:03:38,050

just gonna work that in to the top layer




102

00:03:38,250 --> 00:03:40,420

of soil and I do have gloves for the




103

00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:41,920

rest of this project I just forgot to




104

00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080

grab them I'll start with my Center




105

00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,610

plant that way I can make sure to get




106

00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:48,219

everything spaced proper so that's right




107

00:03:48,419 --> 00:03:50,110

here and I'm going to position these




108

00:03:50,310 --> 00:03:52,360

right in the center of the basket like




109

00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,069

this because I'm hoping they'll trail




110

00:03:54,269 --> 00:03:56,920

back and on the front side so it's




111

00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,349

pretty on both sides okay we'll do the




112

00:03:59,549 --> 00:04:01,689

silver berry on this side just like that




113

00:04:01,889 --> 00:04:04,569

and these sweet potato vines so the




114

00:04:04,769 --> 00:04:06,160

difference last year I use lemon coral




115

00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,050

sedum which actually did really really




116

00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:10,629

good I was surprised with how much water




117

00:04:10,829 --> 00:04:13,030

it was getting it held up and it grew




118

00:04:13,229 --> 00:04:15,250

really nicely but they're not quite as




119

00:04:15,449 --> 00:04:17,800

vigorous as a potato vine so we didn't




120

00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,319

get that really strong foliage accent so




121

00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,509

I'm excited for that but you do have to




122

00:04:22,709 --> 00:04:24,850

be mindful these are water hungry plants




123

00:04:25,050 --> 00:04:26,540

they like to be moist




124

00:04:26,740 --> 00:04:28,069

quite a bit of the time so that's




125

00:04:28,269 --> 00:04:30,319

something else to consider when you're




126

00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:31,730

picking out plants if you have an




127

00:04:31,930 --> 00:04:33,230

irrigation setup to your pots it's no




128

00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:35,778

big deal but if you don't you might want




129

00:04:35,978 --> 00:04:38,240

to you know adjust accordingly also when




130

00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:39,710

you're picking out your plants it's good




131

00:04:39,910 --> 00:04:41,838

to consider the growth habit of all of




132

00:04:42,038 --> 00:04:43,850

the plants because like with the lemon




133

00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:45,559

curl like I said it did really well and




134

00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:47,569

it did but you couldn't see it very well




135

00:04:47,769 --> 00:04:49,639

because all the other plants were so




136

00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,170

vigorous they were kind of growing over




137

00:04:51,370 --> 00:04:52,670

the top of it and if you came over and




138

00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:54,199

kind of spread those part plants apart




139

00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:55,790

you could see the lemon Coral they're




140

00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:58,309

just shining and looking beautiful but




141

00:04:58,509 --> 00:04:59,660

it's that's something to think about all




142

00:04:59,860 --> 00:05:01,100

of these plants kind of have the same




143

00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:02,959

vigor so I think they'll work really




144

00:05:03,158 --> 00:05:05,300

well together and so you'll be able to




145

00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:06,980

actually see our foliage accent this




146

00:05:07,180 --> 00:05:08,930

year okay so I think we're gonna set up




147

00:05:09,129 --> 00:05:10,730

a camera and just get a time-lapse of me




148

00:05:10,930 --> 00:05:12,319

planting the rest of these it's gonna




149

00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:13,939

look a lot faster than it happens in




150

00:05:14,139 --> 00:05:15,100

real life here we go




151

00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:42,399

[Music]




152

00:05:42,598 --> 00:05:45,129

oh my gosh you guys it turned out so




153

00:05:45,329 --> 00:05:46,989

pretty I mean if you would have told me




154

00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:48,639

even two years ago that I would be




155

00:05:48,838 --> 00:05:51,338

planting up 40 hay racks at my own house




156

00:05:51,538 --> 00:05:53,079

I would not have believed you




157

00:05:53,278 --> 00:05:55,149

this is just gonna be such a beautiful




158

00:05:55,348 --> 00:05:57,819

show and I think it could be scaled to




159

00:05:58,019 --> 00:06:00,009

any size whether you're doing one pot or




160

00:06:00,209 --> 00:06:03,338

one hay rack or ten or 40 or 100 you




161

00:06:03,538 --> 00:06:05,228

could kind of take these same planting




162

00:06:05,428 --> 00:06:07,209

principles and get the same results I




163

00:06:07,408 --> 00:06:09,028

think that this looks way more




164

00:06:09,228 --> 00:06:11,259

appropriately planted than it did last




165

00:06:11,459 --> 00:06:13,569

year to be completely honest I think




166

00:06:13,769 --> 00:06:15,759

that the plants will be happier they




167

00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,040

won't be in such hard competition with




168

00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,809

each other so that they'll be able to




169

00:06:20,009 --> 00:06:21,819

flourish a little bit more and the last




170

00:06:22,019 --> 00:06:23,528

thing that we're gonna do today is we're




171

00:06:23,728 --> 00:06:25,028

gonna plant up these large estate




172

00:06:25,228 --> 00:06:27,278

planters right here with some other fun




173

00:06:27,478 --> 00:06:29,519

stuff so vertigo Pennisetum you guys




174

00:06:29,718 --> 00:06:32,949

this is an amazing grass they grow so




175

00:06:33,149 --> 00:06:35,649

big in fact let me see four to four to




176

00:06:35,848 --> 00:06:38,230

eight feet so anywhere from four to




177

00:06:38,430 --> 00:06:39,639

eight feet and I think that that depends




178

00:06:39,838 --> 00:06:41,199

on how much Sun it's getting and how




179

00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:43,359

much water it gets as well I think it'll




180

00:06:43,559 --> 00:06:45,879

get bigger with more of those two things




181

00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:48,338

I planted these in several spots last




182

00:06:48,538 --> 00:06:50,139

year and they just they were a




183

00:06:50,338 --> 00:06:52,359

spectacular grass so I decided I wanted




184

00:06:52,559 --> 00:06:54,069

to do it in these planters up here and




185

00:06:54,269 --> 00:06:55,718

then to break it up because it is a




186

00:06:55,918 --> 00:06:57,669

darker colored grass and the blades do




187

00:06:57,869 --> 00:07:00,009

get quite large as the plant grows it's




188

00:07:00,209 --> 00:07:02,049

got a really strappy appearance but I




189

00:07:02,249 --> 00:07:03,759

wanted to break up the dark grass with




190

00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:05,410

the dark pot with some really pretty fun




191

00:07:05,610 --> 00:07:07,540

color underneath and I'm also going for




192

00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:09,160

the same thing I'm using way fewer




193

00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,859

plants in here six supertunia Vista




194

00:07:12,059 --> 00:07:13,959

bubble gum just spaced as evenly as I




195

00:07:14,158 --> 00:07:14,468

could




196

00:07:14,668 --> 00:07:16,509

around the outer part and then this one




197

00:07:16,709 --> 00:07:18,669

is exciting so I think this one's new




198

00:07:18,869 --> 00:07:20,109

this year it's called Diamond Mountain




199

00:07:20,309 --> 00:07:22,389

euphorbia you might recognize the name




200

00:07:22,588 --> 00:07:25,179

Diamond Frost which is very similar but




201

00:07:25,379 --> 00:07:26,949

Diamond Frost is more of an accent plant




202

00:07:27,149 --> 00:07:29,499

it kind of grows and just like it's more




203

00:07:29,699 --> 00:07:31,809

of a wispy appearance this one grows 2




204

00:07:32,009 --> 00:07:35,290

to 3 feet tall and like 18 inch spread




205

00:07:35,490 --> 00:07:37,088

on them so I think it's gonna be a




206

00:07:37,288 --> 00:07:39,459

gorgeous stair-step effect will have the




207

00:07:39,658 --> 00:07:41,468

huge grass they're really pretty just




208

00:07:41,668 --> 00:07:44,499

kind of block of white and then the pink




209

00:07:44,699 --> 00:07:47,230

kind of Spiller supertunia down below so




210

00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:48,489

we've already filled these up with soil




211

00:07:48,689 --> 00:07:50,980

as well and then I put the slow release




212

00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,528

fertilizer in so I am ready just to pop




213

00:07:53,728 --> 00:07:55,119

these all in and then we can get it




214

00:07:55,319 --> 00:07:56,340

overall look and




215

00:07:56,540 --> 00:07:59,730

we haven't shown yet is that there is




216

00:07:59,930 --> 00:08:01,980

kind of a repeat on the other side here




217

00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:04,139

we have the same container on this side




218

00:08:04,339 --> 00:08:05,910

of the opening and then we had room for




219

00:08:06,110 --> 00:08:08,340

one hay rack on this side and I thought




220

00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:09,750

it was important even though it's a




221

00:08:09,949 --> 00:08:11,670

little short section offense to kind of




222

00:08:11,870 --> 00:08:13,920

mirror what we had going on so it looked




223

00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,259

like a cohesive idea so I think what I'm




224

00:08:16,459 --> 00:08:17,639

gonna do is I'll just start right here




225

00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:20,799

and I'll get this one planted




226

00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:33,759

[Music]




227

00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,649

so there you have it they are all




228

00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:37,359

planted up for the season and I'm just




229

00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,759

so thrilled to see color I think it's




230

00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,129

gonna be just such a gorgeous show we




231

00:08:42,330 --> 00:08:43,659

did turn the water on just to test




232

00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:46,359

everything so you can see right here I




233

00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,549

have got an 8 to gallon per hour




234

00:08:48,750 --> 00:08:50,589

emitters dispersed fairly evenly




235

00:08:50,789 --> 00:08:51,939

throughout each one of these large




236

00:08:52,139 --> 00:08:54,129

containers and then on the hay racks




237

00:08:54,330 --> 00:08:56,229

here you can see kind of how they're




238

00:08:56,429 --> 00:08:57,819

running and see that water just coming




239

00:08:58,019 --> 00:09:00,698

out really nicely and we watch them




240

00:09:00,899 --> 00:09:02,679

pretty closely throughout the first




241

00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:04,179

atleast day or two that we're running




242

00:09:04,379 --> 00:09:05,349

the drips to make sure we don't have any




243

00:09:05,549 --> 00:09:08,319

leaks or any you know any problems any




244

00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:10,089

plugged in ITER's from the previous year




245

00:09:10,289 --> 00:09:12,429

because we leave this out all winter we




246

00:09:12,629 --> 00:09:13,839

don't have to put the drip system away




247

00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:16,328

because there's no water left in it all




248

00:09:16,528 --> 00:09:18,279

the water comes out of these right here




249

00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,409

so we just kind of look at them closely




250

00:09:20,610 --> 00:09:21,879

to make sure that nothing's happened




251

00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,399

over the course of a winter so anyway I




252

00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,409

hope that these type of videos are




253

00:09:26,610 --> 00:09:28,059

helpful to you guys just to see what




254

00:09:28,259 --> 00:09:29,679

containers like this look like in the




255

00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:31,419

beginning while I think it looks




256

00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:34,029

absolutely beautiful I cannot wait to




257

00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:35,500

show you what they look like even a




258

00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:38,109

month or two from now so stay tuned for




259

00:09:38,309 --> 00:09:39,399

those videos we'll be doing lots of




260

00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,199

updates throughout the season thank you




261

00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:42,609

guys so much for watching and we will




262

00:09:42,809 --> 00:09:44,159

see you in the next video bye




263

00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,360

[Music] view all

 

 
  
 
 
1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,119

hey guys how's it going I'm getting




2

00:00:01,318 --> 00:00:02,738

ready to plant some gorgeous peonies in




3

00:00:02,939 --> 00:00:04,389

my garden this morning and I just wanted




4

00:00:04,589 --> 00:00:06,519

to give you a few care tips because




5

00:00:06,719 --> 00:00:09,160

these are one of the most easy to grow




6

00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:10,720

flowers you can put in your garden and




7

00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:13,359

once they're established they last for




8

00:00:13,558 --> 00:00:16,539

years like decades long so they're just




9

00:00:16,739 --> 00:00:18,039

a wonderful one to have there are so




10

00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,289

many gorgeous peonies out there these




11

00:00:20,489 --> 00:00:21,820

are just starting to open but these




12

00:00:22,019 --> 00:00:24,249

flowers get huge and just beautiful for




13

00:00:24,449 --> 00:00:26,199

cut flowers to bring inside or just to




14

00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:27,579

enjoy out in the garden so there are




15

00:00:27,778 --> 00:00:29,199

three main types of peonies there's




16

00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:30,728

herbaceous peonies which I'm going to be




17

00:00:30,928 --> 00:00:32,288

focusing on in this video because that's




18

00:00:32,488 --> 00:00:34,000

what I'm planting they're the types that




19

00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,559

die back to the ground every fall and




20

00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:37,209

then the next spring they emerge with




21

00:00:37,409 --> 00:00:39,579

these beautiful red tinge stems and then




22

00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:41,619

they turn into this just beautiful small




23

00:00:41,820 --> 00:00:43,239

shrub in the garden full of flowers




24

00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:45,878

there are tree peonies which we've done




25

00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:47,799

a video on previously we will link that




26

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,909

down below if you want to learn it a




27

00:00:49,109 --> 00:00:50,649

little bit more but basically they're a




28

00:00:50,850 --> 00:00:53,140

type of peeny that create a more woody




29

00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:56,378

stem above ground that stays intact so




30

00:00:56,579 --> 00:00:57,698

they lose their leaves in the fall but




31

00:00:57,899 --> 00:00:58,838

when they leaf out in the spring they'll




32

00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:01,088

leaf out on those stems and then there




33

00:01:01,289 --> 00:01:04,179

are ito peonies which are a hybrid cross




34

00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:06,310

between an herbaceous and the tree peony




35

00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:08,950

and the benefit of Ito's is that they




36

00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:11,109

are prolific bloomers and there are a




37

00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:13,090

ton of colors available so you can find




38

00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:14,890

potted peonies like these right here at




39

00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:16,209

your garden center most of the time in




40

00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:17,349

the spring you'll find a pretty good




41

00:01:17,549 --> 00:01:19,238

selection of them you might also be able




42

00:01:19,438 --> 00:01:22,119

to buy them as bare root or tubers and I




43

00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,738

believe the best time of the year to




44

00:01:23,938 --> 00:01:25,390

plant those is in the fall and it is




45

00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:27,250

spring now I have some tubers I'm going




46

00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:28,329

to plant in the ground but I figure




47

00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:29,679

they're better off planted in the ground




48

00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:31,929

now I've been hanging on to them until




49

00:01:32,129 --> 00:01:33,579

fall so I'll show you how to plant those




50

00:01:33,780 --> 00:01:36,128

roots in just a second these are super




51

00:01:36,328 --> 00:01:38,500

easy all we have to do is find a spot




52

00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:41,378

that gets full Sun a minimum of six to




53

00:01:41,578 --> 00:01:43,179

eight hours of Sun for them to perform




54

00:01:43,379 --> 00:01:45,668

the best they also like moist but really




55

00:01:45,868 --> 00:01:47,769

well draining soil and you want to give




56

00:01:47,969 --> 00:01:49,719

them a space that has good air flow so




57

00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,369

like this area right here I have a fence




58

00:01:51,569 --> 00:01:53,259

right behind me there's going to be just




59

00:01:53,459 --> 00:01:54,609

a little mini hedge I've got three




60

00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:56,709

peonies back here they'll get plenty of




61

00:01:56,909 --> 00:01:58,448

air if they don't have enough air and




62

00:01:58,649 --> 00:02:00,340

you've got high humidity or it's a




63

00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:03,039

moister area they can suffer from




64

00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:04,689

powdery mildew or a fungus called




65

00:02:04,890 --> 00:02:07,000

botrytis those are the two most common




66

00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,029

on peonies so just keep that in mind so




67

00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:11,259

real quick let me just talk to you about




68

00:02:11,459 --> 00:02:12,969

this specific variety I'm planting this




69

00:02:13,169 --> 00:02:13,780

is called core




70

00:02:13,979 --> 00:02:16,209

old charm so like I said this one is




71

00:02:16,408 --> 00:02:18,189

just starting to open and they will get




72

00:02:18,389 --> 00:02:20,110

nice and big beautiful coral color




73

00:02:20,310 --> 00:02:22,719

they're a semi double and they are




74

00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,118

really Hardy Hardy down to negative 40




75

00:02:25,318 --> 00:02:28,149

degrees and they get to be like 28 30




76

00:02:28,348 --> 00:02:30,460

inches tall and about a 30 to 36 inch




77

00:02:30,659 --> 00:02:31,990

spread so I'm going to kind of plant




78

00:02:32,189 --> 00:02:34,240

them back from this little row of lilies




79

00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:35,860

right here to where they can kind of




80

00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:37,780

spill out into the driveway behind me I




81

00:02:37,979 --> 00:02:39,700

think that'll be really pretty to see




82

00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:41,679

those big bright bright pink blooms kind




83

00:02:41,878 --> 00:02:43,209

of emerging from underneath this white




84

00:02:43,408 --> 00:02:45,399

fence they do like a pretty fertile soil




85

00:02:45,598 --> 00:02:48,310

as well so today when I plant them I'm




86

00:02:48,509 --> 00:02:49,539

going to be adding in some bio tone




87

00:02:49,739 --> 00:02:51,129

starter fertilizer into each one of




88

00:02:51,329 --> 00:02:53,319

their holes and this is pretty good soil




89

00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:54,610

back here so I don't think I need to




90

00:02:54,810 --> 00:02:56,200

worry about anything else so let's get




91

00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,490

these three in the ground and then I'm




92

00:02:57,689 --> 00:02:59,710

going to talk about how to best support




93

00:02:59,909 --> 00:03:03,139

the plants with stakes




94

00:03:14,330 --> 00:03:30,660

[Music]




95

00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:32,550

okay so I got all three of these in the




96

00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:34,110

ground so I've got this one here there's




97

00:03:34,310 --> 00:03:35,550

this one that doesn't have any blooms on




98

00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:37,350

it currently and then that one right




99

00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:38,760

there I think that's gonna form a




100

00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,410

beautiful backdrop I've got like I said




101

00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:42,390

lily is that bloom yellow I've got a




102

00:03:42,590 --> 00:03:44,460

blue chiffon roses share and standard so




103

00:03:44,659 --> 00:03:45,960

these are my summer colors rubs




104

00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:47,910

including a butterfly bush over there a




105

00:03:48,110 --> 00:03:50,280

Miss violet so I've lots of summer color




106

00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:51,930

and I was lacking spring so this is




107

00:03:52,129 --> 00:03:53,820

gonna bring some beautiful spring color




108

00:03:54,020 --> 00:03:56,310

in from for years to come and before I




109

00:03:56,509 --> 00:03:58,230

move on to showing you guys how to plant




110

00:03:58,430 --> 00:04:00,960

the tubers of peonies I want to talk




111

00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:02,310

about staking so there are a couple




112

00:04:02,509 --> 00:04:03,990

different methods that are pretty common




113

00:04:04,189 --> 00:04:06,920

for staking peonies this one is probably




114

00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,390

one of the most common this is a peony




115

00:04:09,590 --> 00:04:12,060

ring it's much like a tomato cage but




116

00:04:12,259 --> 00:04:13,800

it's a little sturdier and it's wider




117

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,900

and you can get these in multiple




118

00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:18,240

different sizes but I prefer a different




119

00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:19,889

type of stake I've got one right here




120

00:04:20,089 --> 00:04:21,960

this is called a grow through through




121

00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,509

grid ideally you would have these in




122

00:04:24,709 --> 00:04:26,370

place before the plant starts growing in




123

00:04:26,569 --> 00:04:28,740

the spring so as it grows it can grow up




124

00:04:28,939 --> 00:04:31,590

through the grid the reason I like these




125

00:04:31,790 --> 00:04:34,710

better than the hoops or the cages is




126

00:04:34,910 --> 00:04:37,110

that these hold up individual branches




127

00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:38,310

and more of an aesthetically pleasing




128

00:04:38,509 --> 00:04:41,280

Mound if they grow up through this type




129

00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,460

of staking system they'll still kind of




130

00:04:44,660 --> 00:04:46,259

tend to flop from the center if they've




131

00:04:46,459 --> 00:04:48,300

got huge blooms this one holds




132

00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:50,939

everything a little bit more just




133

00:04:51,139 --> 00:04:52,980

rounded so there's three stakes right




134

00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:55,829

here that you attach to the top of the




135

00:04:56,029 --> 00:04:58,020

grow through grid like this so I'm going




136

00:04:58,220 --> 00:05:00,420

to attempt to feed these blooms through




137

00:05:00,620 --> 00:05:02,460

just to kind of show you what it might




138

00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:04,110

look like I've got to do it anyway I've




139

00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:06,900

got to have the the grid going and these




140

00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:08,579

I just leave out I leave them out all




141

00:05:08,779 --> 00:05:10,680

winter long and they're just in place




142

00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:12,780

for when the peony starts growing the




143

00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:15,629

following spring oh I think I did it so




144

00:05:15,829 --> 00:05:17,910

see how that already holds that bloom up




145

00:05:18,110 --> 00:05:19,680

a little bit better and then I'm going




146

00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:21,090

to decide where I want my stakes and




147

00:05:21,290 --> 00:05:23,610

we'll put those in the ground they're




148

00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:28,259

really easy to use much like that and




149

00:05:28,459 --> 00:05:29,490

there are different sizes of these




150

00:05:29,689 --> 00:05:31,730

available as well so if you've got huge




151

00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:33,900

established peonies that are really big




152

00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:35,490

at the base you can get heavier-duty




153

00:05:35,689 --> 00:05:38,040

versions and you know I may have to do




154

00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,000

that eventually




155

00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,430

but these peonies don't get like so




156

00:05:41,629 --> 00:05:43,199

massive like some varieties do so I may




157

00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:44,579

be okay with this size




158

00:05:44,779 --> 00:05:45,600

so I'm going to go ahead and put my




159

00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,160

other two grids on and then we'll go




160

00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,170

plant the tubers




161

00:05:52,259 --> 00:05:54,040

so we're in the location where I want to




162

00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,600

plant the bare-root peonies which I have




163

00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,069

right here this is a variety called




164

00:05:57,269 --> 00:06:00,250

Laura desert and it's a beautiful fully




165

00:06:00,449 --> 00:06:02,259

double creamy white and creamy yellow




166

00:06:02,459 --> 00:06:03,939

peony and I thought it would be really




167

00:06:04,139 --> 00:06:06,460

beautiful right here this area looks




168

00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:08,170

Shady now because it is morning but it




169

00:06:08,370 --> 00:06:10,389

does get a really good long block of




170

00:06:10,589 --> 00:06:11,770

afternoon Sun so they should be very




171

00:06:11,970 --> 00:06:12,730

happy here




172

00:06:12,930 --> 00:06:15,280

and I am planting them kind of forward




173

00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,500

in this flowerbed because I do want to




174

00:06:17,699 --> 00:06:19,180

come in probably implant some climbing




175

00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:21,460

roses behind them so I wanted to leave a




176

00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:23,410

little bit of space so what you want to




177

00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:25,600

do to plant your bare root is make sure




178

00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,970

you find the highest bud on the crown so




179

00:06:28,170 --> 00:06:29,319

you can see the crown of the plant right




180

00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:31,930

here this is the highest bud right there




181

00:06:32,129 --> 00:06:33,280

we want to make sure that that sits




182

00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,170

about one to two inches below the soil




183

00:06:35,370 --> 00:06:35,920

surface




184

00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,230

if you plant it too deep it can delay




185

00:06:38,430 --> 00:06:40,060

bloom time and it could also make the




186

00:06:40,259 --> 00:06:41,800

plant not bloom at all so you just want




187

00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,329

to be very mindful of that I've already




188

00:06:43,529 --> 00:06:45,280

dug up my hole you can see the soil




189

00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,860

right here is really pretty nice just




190

00:06:48,060 --> 00:06:49,689

perfect I'm gonna set my root down in




191

00:06:49,889 --> 00:06:51,490

there and you can see where the soil




192

00:06:51,689 --> 00:06:54,009

surface is it'll sit just about two




193

00:06:54,209 --> 00:06:56,050

inches below with the surface I'm gonna




194

00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:57,490

toss a little bit of starter fertilizer




195

00:06:57,689 --> 00:06:59,920

in right around the root and then just




196

00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,509

fill back the hole well tamp that down




197

00:07:03,709 --> 00:07:05,710

cover it back up with a little bit of




198

00:07:05,910 --> 00:07:08,020

mulch and before I get too far I'm gonna




199

00:07:08,220 --> 00:07:10,120

put my grid steak over it so I can




200

00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:11,500

remember that I have something planted




201

00:07:11,699 --> 00:07:13,840

here for the first thing and then once




202

00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,069

it starts growing the grid will be in




203

00:07:15,269 --> 00:07:18,709

place and I won't have to worry about it




204

00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:26,020

that looks pretty darn good okay so I've




205

00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:28,870

just got two more to plan




206

00:07:29,069 --> 00:07:43,699

[Music]




207

00:07:46,350 --> 00:07:56,050

[Music]




208

00:07:56,250 --> 00:07:58,400

so I got all three of these planted and




209

00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,629

I think they're gonna be gorgeous here




210

00:07:59,829 --> 00:08:01,340

especially once I get some roses and




211

00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:03,410

clematis growing right behind them there




212

00:08:03,610 --> 00:08:04,730

are a couple more things I want to talk




213

00:08:04,930 --> 00:08:05,930

to you about but I think I want to go




214

00:08:06,129 --> 00:08:07,879

back to the first peonies to talk to you




215

00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:08,960

about those things because I can




216

00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,639

actually show you on the plant so the




217

00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:12,620

first thing is when the peonies come out




218

00:08:12,819 --> 00:08:15,350

in bud in spring they do secrete a




219

00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:18,079

really sweet SAP out of the buds that




220

00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,480

ants and flies and bees are attracted to




221

00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,270

it does not harm the plant at all they




222

00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:24,980

just come up there to feed on it some




223

00:08:25,180 --> 00:08:26,600

people think it opens it helps to open




224

00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,250

the blooms I think that that is a myth




225

00:08:28,449 --> 00:08:29,960

but it doesn't hurt your plant




226

00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,059

whatsoever when you get ready to cut




227

00:08:32,259 --> 00:08:33,559

your peonies to bring them inside if you




228

00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:35,149

see any ants on them you can just rinse




229

00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:37,819

them off super easy the second thing is




230

00:08:38,019 --> 00:08:39,439

you do want to deadhead your peonies




231

00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:41,779

when the blooms are done that way the




232

00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:43,729

plant doesn't send energy into creating




233

00:08:43,929 --> 00:08:45,469

seeds because they do create it's kind




234

00:08:45,669 --> 00:08:47,719

of a neat looking seed pod but you don't




235

00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:49,039

want your plant sending energy into




236

00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,449

seeds you want it's sending energy




237

00:08:50,649 --> 00:08:52,490

rather into it's a root system so it can




238

00:08:52,690 --> 00:08:54,409

establish even more and create more




239

00:08:54,610 --> 00:08:56,269

flowers for the next year so when you




240

00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:58,009

get ready to deadhead it's really easy




241

00:08:58,210 --> 00:08:59,929

there's really no rhyme or reason to how




242

00:09:00,129 --> 00:09:01,909

far you cut back the stem but like on




243

00:09:02,110 --> 00:09:03,379

this one right here I'd probably cut it




244

00:09:03,580 --> 00:09:05,359

back right into the bushier part of the




245

00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,579

shrub that way you don't have a bear or




246

00:09:07,779 --> 00:09:09,709

random stem sticking up out further than




247

00:09:09,909 --> 00:09:11,000

the rest of the leaves you just want to




248

00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,549

make it look aesthetically pleasing




249

00:09:12,750 --> 00:09:15,740

third they are heavy feeders so like I




250

00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:17,599

put today some starter fertilizer in the




251

00:09:17,799 --> 00:09:19,370

hole usually after they get done




252

00:09:19,570 --> 00:09:20,959

blooming I'll toss some plant tonne




253

00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:22,759

fertilizer around the base of the shrub




254

00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,859

that way they can utilize that and build




255

00:09:25,059 --> 00:09:27,409

up the root system even more and then




256

00:09:27,610 --> 00:09:29,149

you do want to cut to the peonies back




257

00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:31,729

down to the ground in the fall after the




258

00:09:31,929 --> 00:09:33,259

first frost kind of takes their foliage




259

00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:35,839

so anyway that's all there is to peonies




260

00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:37,370

once you get them in the ground and you




261

00:09:37,570 --> 00:09:38,089

get them going




262

00:09:38,289 --> 00:09:40,309

it just is a beautiful thing to have in




263

00:09:40,509 --> 00:09:41,809

your garden so I hope this video was




264

00:09:42,009 --> 00:09:43,339

helpful you guys and we will see you in




265

00:09:43,539 --> 00:09:46,469

the next one bye




266

00:09:46,889 --> 00:09:51,889
