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

1

00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:01,570

hey guys good morning I'm getting ready




2

00:00:01,770 --> 00:00:03,099

to plant some more hydrangeas in my




3

00:00:03,299 --> 00:00:04,929

garden today you might recognize this




4

00:00:05,129 --> 00:00:07,000

flowerbed I've planted pretty much




5

00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,859

annuals in this spot for the last couple




6

00:00:09,058 --> 00:00:10,540

of years and it's been really fun to




7

00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:12,430

experiment with some color and texture




8

00:00:12,630 --> 00:00:14,470

but I was ready for something a little




9

00:00:14,669 --> 00:00:16,329

bit more permanent so these are called




10

00:00:16,528 --> 00:00:18,609

fire light hydrangeas they're a type of




11

00:00:18,809 --> 00:00:21,220

paniculata which paniculata s-- as a




12

00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:23,400

whole are really easy maintenance




13

00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,780

hydrangeas they're really winter hardy




14

00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:27,249

like I think this is a zone three




15

00:00:27,449 --> 00:00:29,769

through eight so I mean it can take




16

00:00:29,969 --> 00:00:31,659

winter temperatures really low and




17

00:00:31,859 --> 00:00:33,849

paniculata SAR the most sun tolerant




18

00:00:34,049 --> 00:00:36,759

hydrangea and it gets very hot and dry




19

00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,128

here in Eastern Oregon and the Sun is




20

00:00:39,329 --> 00:00:41,919

very intense but paniculata us handle it




21

00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:43,869

very well you might be familiar with the




22

00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:45,518

limelight hydrangea super popular




23

00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:48,070

beautiful hydrangea I have some planted




24

00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:50,140

in another area of my garden but the




25

00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:51,518

thing about fire light is that they




26

00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:53,739

bloom a lot earlier in the season than




27

00:00:53,939 --> 00:00:55,869

the limelight so if you live in an area




28

00:00:56,070 --> 00:00:58,119

with more mild temperatures like cooler




29

00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,338

nights cooler summers this one will




30

00:01:00,539 --> 00:01:02,169

bloom a lot earlier for you so you can




31

00:01:02,369 --> 00:01:04,329

enjoy it throughout the season and then




32

00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:06,369

it starts coloring up like the blooms




33

00:01:06,569 --> 00:01:08,019

start changing so it comes out with




34

00:01:08,219 --> 00:01:09,488

creamy white blooms in the very




35

00:01:09,688 --> 00:01:11,500

beginning and then as soon as the




36

00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:12,730

nighttime temperatures start to drop




37

00:01:12,930 --> 00:01:14,738

even a little bit it triggers the color




38

00:01:14,938 --> 00:01:16,808

change in the blooms and they really




39

00:01:17,009 --> 00:01:19,238

quickly turn into a like vivid like




40

00:01:19,438 --> 00:01:21,969

reddish pink it's very beautiful show so




41

00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:24,609

I'm really excited to see what this




42

00:01:24,810 --> 00:01:26,590

hedge looks like now they do grow quite




43

00:01:26,790 --> 00:01:28,299

large so they grow six to eight feet




44

00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:29,799

tall and wide now that's if you just




45

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,909

kind of let them do their thing




46

00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:32,918

you might be thinking I'm crazy cuz this




47

00:01:33,118 --> 00:01:36,009

is only about four feet wide or so we




48

00:01:36,209 --> 00:01:37,959

are planning on extending these




49

00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:39,549

flowerbeds quite far




50

00:01:39,750 --> 00:01:42,009

maybe next year so I know that this is




51

00:01:42,209 --> 00:01:43,719

going to be my background kind of the




52

00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,689

backdrop hedge and you can size control




53

00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:48,159

them a little bit that's the other thing




54

00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:49,840

about having a hydrangea that blooms on




55

00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,299

new wood you can go in in early spring




56

00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:53,980

when they just start to bud up and you




57

00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:56,140

can cut them back and it's actually good




58

00:01:56,340 --> 00:01:57,518

for the plant it keeps them really




59

00:01:57,718 --> 00:02:00,789

strong but fire light stems are really




60

00:02:00,989 --> 00:02:02,590

strong just on their own even stronger




61

00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:04,299

than the lime lights so now I want to




62

00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,579

get all of these in the ground I am




63

00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:08,080

going to be using a little bit of this




64

00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,000

bio tone starter fertilizer in each of




65

00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:11,590

the holes but no compost nothing else




66

00:02:11,789 --> 00:02:12,520

and




67

00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:13,660

then I do have to run some new




68

00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:15,760

irrigation this did have drip lines in




69

00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,740

it but they were kind of old and all the




70

00:02:17,939 --> 00:02:19,090

emitters were really caked with hard




71

00:02:19,289 --> 00:02:21,310

water so we'll run a new water line and




72

00:02:21,509 --> 00:02:22,570

then I'm going to be putting probably




73

00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:25,180

two two gallon per hour emitters on each




74

00:02:25,379 --> 00:02:27,700

one of these hydrangea root balls so I




75

00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:28,930

can make sure to keep them very well




76

00:02:29,129 --> 00:02:29,860

hydrated




77

00:02:30,060 --> 00:03:10,480

[Music]




78

00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,710

so we've got them all in the ground and




79

00:03:12,909 --> 00:03:14,630

I ran all the irrigation so like I said




80

00:03:14,830 --> 00:03:16,789

I did two to gallon per hour emitters to




81

00:03:16,989 --> 00:03:19,189

each root ball and I find that's what




82

00:03:19,389 --> 00:03:21,140

they need here in our hot dry climate in




83

00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:23,539

fact we run our drips every single day




84

00:03:23,739 --> 00:03:25,460

for about an hour when the temperatures




85

00:03:25,659 --> 00:03:27,469

go above a hundred and that's what keeps




86

00:03:27,669 --> 00:03:29,240

them looking really really nice and




87

00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:31,189

you'll have to adjust that depending on




88

00:03:31,389 --> 00:03:33,890

your weather your region and kind of you




89

00:03:34,090 --> 00:03:35,570

know what they typically like and you




90

00:03:35,770 --> 00:03:36,920

can ask somebody at your local garden




91

00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,090

center and kind of get their




92

00:03:38,289 --> 00:03:40,130

recommendation for that if you notice




93

00:03:40,330 --> 00:03:42,020

your hydrangea blooms turning brown




94

00:03:42,219 --> 00:03:44,150

later in the summer rather than turning




95

00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:46,130

the color they're supposed to that means




96

00:03:46,330 --> 00:03:47,660

your hydrangea is not getting enough




97

00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:48,950

water so that's just something to be




98

00:03:49,150 --> 00:03:51,140

mindful of and I think this is going to




99

00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:53,390

be a glorious hedge of hydrangeas but I




100

00:03:53,590 --> 00:03:55,310

also feel that the fire light hydrogen




101

00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:57,349

would be a gorgeous specimen plant so if




102

00:03:57,549 --> 00:03:59,210

you don't have you know this much space




103

00:03:59,409 --> 00:04:01,219

to fill or you just want to have one to




104

00:04:01,419 --> 00:04:03,800

enjoy it's you know a big enough shrub




105

00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,110

that it'll look gorgeous but I do have a




106

00:04:06,310 --> 00:04:08,210

chart that's super handy that shows a




107

00:04:08,409 --> 00:04:09,439

whole bunch of different paniculata




108

00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:11,599

hydrangeas and what time of the year




109

00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:13,700

they start to bloom so you can see here




110

00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:15,829

in the very early category there's quick




111

00:04:16,029 --> 00:04:17,629

fire little quick fire bow bow and fire




112

00:04:17,829 --> 00:04:18,829

light and it shows kind of their




113

00:04:19,029 --> 00:04:20,658

different growth habits which is super




114

00:04:20,858 --> 00:04:22,730

helpful and then you've got your early




115

00:04:22,930 --> 00:04:24,650

category which is pinky-winky and then




116

00:04:24,850 --> 00:04:26,750

midseason bloomers are your Zinfandel




117

00:04:26,949 --> 00:04:29,028

little lime and lime light so that's it




118

00:04:29,228 --> 00:04:30,650

you guys hope you enjoyed seeing this




119

00:04:30,850 --> 00:04:32,689

henge come in and I hope you are going




120

00:04:32,889 --> 00:04:34,338

1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,209

hey guys how's it going we're out of my




2

00:00:01,409 --> 00:00:02,738

parents house this morning working on a




3

00:00:02,939 --> 00:00:04,299

really fun project that I've been




4

00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,908

looking forward to for months and you




5

00:00:07,108 --> 00:00:08,830

guys might think that I do big projects




6

00:00:09,029 --> 00:00:12,550

check this out they just had 12 huge




7

00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:15,490

containers built and installed along




8

00:00:15,689 --> 00:00:17,230

their driveway in fact this has been a




9

00:00:17,429 --> 00:00:18,940

huge project this spring it's a really




10

00:00:19,140 --> 00:00:20,650

really fun one because all of my




11

00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:22,659

childhood years there was a little




12

00:00:22,859 --> 00:00:24,249

skinny driveway in fact you can see the




13

00:00:24,449 --> 00:00:25,269

wheel mark here




14

00:00:25,469 --> 00:00:27,399

it was very skinny he went to about here




15

00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:29,919

and then all the rest of this space was




16

00:00:30,118 --> 00:00:32,858

all ditch so there was just a big canal




17

00:00:33,058 --> 00:00:35,079

full of water right here so they had it




18

00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,390

piped and covered this spring and then




19

00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:39,820

lined with redpoint maples I think there




20

00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:42,669

are 14 redpoint maples in total this is




21

00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:44,049

the same type of maple that we used




22

00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:46,448

alongside our driveway and it's gonna be




23

00:00:46,649 --> 00:00:49,000

gorgeous because a beautiful red fall




24

00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,338

color and then of course the planters




25

00:00:51,539 --> 00:00:53,858

they make a huge statement and they're




26

00:00:54,058 --> 00:00:55,838

kind of modeled after the box planters




27

00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:57,669

you see in French garden he's kind of




28

00:00:57,869 --> 00:00:59,890

like Versailles they're a little bit




29

00:01:00,090 --> 00:01:01,358

more rustic though which i think is




30

00:01:01,558 --> 00:01:03,399

perfect because it goes with their




31

00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,829

country style home the other really fun




32

00:01:06,030 --> 00:01:08,109

thing are the plants that I get to use




33

00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:10,599

in this project we're not going to vary




34

00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:12,549

the type of plants I use very much




35

00:01:12,750 --> 00:01:14,738

because we get to try something that's




36

00:01:14,938 --> 00:01:17,259

brand new it's not even out yet because




37

00:01:17,459 --> 00:01:19,028

we work with proven winners on occasion




38

00:01:19,228 --> 00:01:21,609

we get to try out new plants and this is




39

00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:23,679

a new one next year called supertunia




40

00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:25,599

vista snowdrift and if you guys have




41

00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:28,000

ever grown any supertunia in the Vista




42

00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,469

line you will know what I'm talking




43

00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:31,209

about like supertunia vista bubblegum




44

00:01:31,409 --> 00:01:34,058

vista fuchsia vista silver berry they




45

00:01:34,259 --> 00:01:36,730

grow huge they are really really




46

00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:38,769

vigorous they have huge amount of bloom




47

00:01:38,969 --> 00:01:40,299

count on them all throughout this season




48

00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:41,918

and I think they're one of the best




49

00:01:42,118 --> 00:01:43,808

suited to go either in the landscape or




50

00:01:44,009 --> 00:01:45,308

in containers in fact I'm going to be




51

00:01:45,509 --> 00:01:46,599

putting some of these in the ground at




52

00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:48,308

my house and we'll be able to kind of




53

00:01:48,509 --> 00:01:50,619

see how they do you know in a container




54

00:01:50,819 --> 00:01:52,959

versus the landscape these I was doing a




55

00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:54,609

little reading on them have said that




56

00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:56,378

they can grow up to two feet tall and




57

00:01:56,578 --> 00:01:57,488

four feet wide




58

00:01:57,688 --> 00:02:00,668

one one supertunia vista snowdrift




59

00:02:00,868 --> 00:02:03,399

that's like a shrub which is amazing so




60

00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:05,619

I'm going to be putting eight of these




61

00:02:05,819 --> 00:02:07,000

in each of these containers which is




62

00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,439

probably a little much I could probably




63

00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,029

get away with just doing one on each




64

00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:12,610

side but there is an event happening in




65

00:02:12,810 --> 00:02:13,540

about a month at my




66

00:02:13,740 --> 00:02:14,710

parents house and we want to make sure




67

00:02:14,909 --> 00:02:16,210

that they're really full and they look




68

00:02:16,409 --> 00:02:18,040

really good for that so we're gonna use




69

00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,200

that primarily around the outside and




70

00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,360

then in the middle we're using a purple




71

00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,770

fountain grass and I think it's just




72

00:02:23,969 --> 00:02:25,689

gonna be a very striking contrast I




73

00:02:25,889 --> 00:02:27,250

think the white is gonna look really




74

00:02:27,449 --> 00:02:29,800

good up against this black rail fence




75

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,719

right here this is the same color of




76

00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,130

stain that we use on our vegetable




77

00:02:33,330 --> 00:02:35,410

garden so it looks very pretty I think




78

00:02:35,610 --> 00:02:37,719

all the way down the fence is new it




79

00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,580

just looks so sharp there's a lot more




80

00:02:39,780 --> 00:02:41,320

room for parking and just a lot more




81

00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,700

breathing space out here




82

00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:45,070

so we've already one run drip to these




83

00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:46,689

containers and I wanted to talk on that




84

00:02:46,889 --> 00:02:48,730

a little bit because we recently showed




85

00:02:48,930 --> 00:02:51,700

you how we hooked our drip system up to




86

00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,219

our irrigation system that it's like in




87

00:02:54,419 --> 00:02:56,020

the ground and I want to show you this




88

00:02:56,219 --> 00:02:58,630

is hooked into a hose bib so there's a




89

00:02:58,830 --> 00:03:00,760

half inch black poly tube in fact you




90

00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,700

can see it right here they need to bring




91

00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:05,350

in a little more gravel to cover but




92

00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:07,060

there's a tube that runs the entire




93

00:03:07,259 --> 00:03:10,510

distance the entire run and then they




94

00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:12,880

tapped in with little couplers right




95

00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,700

here and there's a quarter inch solid




96

00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:18,310

black tube that runs up the side and it




97

00:03:18,509 --> 00:03:20,590

comes into the container right here you




98

00:03:20,789 --> 00:03:23,950

move my plants and then we've got five




99

00:03:24,150 --> 00:03:25,360

drippers and Erin and I worked on this




100

00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,980

little network of drippers this morning




101

00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:28,450

what we're planning on doing is having




102

00:03:28,650 --> 00:03:31,630

one one gallon per hour emitter in




103

00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:33,820

between each set of petunias kind of




104

00:03:34,020 --> 00:03:36,580

like this so there'll be two petunias




105

00:03:36,780 --> 00:03:39,460

two two two and then this one will point




106

00:03:39,659 --> 00:03:41,439

right to the root ball of the grass and




107

00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:42,880

we do have little stakes that will help




108

00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,439

once I get everything planted kind of




109

00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:46,960

just tack everything into place so let's




110

00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:48,580

run to the very far end because that's




111

00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:49,990

where it attaches to the hose and I'll




112

00:03:50,189 --> 00:03:52,150

show you how that looks so we're at the




113

00:03:52,349 --> 00:03:54,250

opposite end this is the last container




114

00:03:54,449 --> 00:03:56,170

and then in the corner is where they're




115

00:03:56,370 --> 00:03:58,390

attached to water in fact if you look




116

00:03:58,590 --> 00:04:00,100

over the fence right here you can see




117

00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:02,680

the ditch it's still open on this end we




118

00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:04,450

used to swim in that when we were little




119

00:04:04,650 --> 00:04:06,460

kids but now all the water goes to a




120

00:04:06,659 --> 00:04:08,230

great big pipe right underneath this




121

00:04:08,430 --> 00:04:12,040

hole Elaine so this hose bib right here




122

00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,500

is where all the water comes from for




123

00:04:14,699 --> 00:04:16,270

both the Maples and the containers




124

00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:17,770

there's a splitter right here which you




125

00:04:17,970 --> 00:04:19,538

can either use that or you can hook your




126

00:04:19,738 --> 00:04:21,699

timer right into your hose you don't




127

00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:23,050

even have to use a timer if you don't




128

00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:24,939

want to you can come out every day and




129

00:04:25,139 --> 00:04:26,410

turn the hose on and turn it off but the




130

00:04:26,610 --> 00:04:27,160

timer makes




131

00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,230

super-nice to where you don't have to do




132

00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:31,088

that this will make everything automatic




133

00:04:31,288 --> 00:04:33,249

and then there's a couple of parts here




134

00:04:33,449 --> 00:04:36,459

that cook onto your timer and then you




135

00:04:36,658 --> 00:04:37,838

can put your drip tubing right up into




136

00:04:38,038 --> 00:04:39,939

those parts one of these runs to the the




137

00:04:40,139 --> 00:04:41,949

red point maples and one runs to the




138

00:04:42,149 --> 00:04:44,139

containers at the amount of time that




139

00:04:44,339 --> 00:04:46,449

you run your containers it's kind of




140

00:04:46,649 --> 00:04:47,949

subjective to the time of year it is




141

00:04:48,149 --> 00:04:49,509

what the weather is like if it's real




142

00:04:49,709 --> 00:04:51,399

windy or not right now they could




143

00:04:51,598 --> 00:04:53,949

probably run these every other day or




144

00:04:54,149 --> 00:04:55,389

every two days to keep them happy




145

00:04:55,589 --> 00:04:57,399

because it's still pretty cool but when




146

00:04:57,598 --> 00:04:58,660

it gets really hot they'll be running




147

00:04:58,860 --> 00:04:59,379

them everyday




148

00:04:59,579 --> 00:05:00,790

so we'll probably start by running them




149

00:05:00,990 --> 00:05:02,439

for thirty minutes just to kind of gauge




150

00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:04,059

how much water comes out and how




151

00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:06,369

saturated the soil is and then we'll go




152

00:05:06,569 --> 00:05:06,939

from there




153

00:05:07,139 --> 00:05:08,480

so now let's start planting




154

00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:55,410

[Music]




155

00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:00,199

you guys I think that these are going to




156

00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:01,790

be absolutely gorgeous and you can




157

00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:03,520

already see them starting to take shape




158

00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,889

in purple fountain grass gets huge so




159

00:06:07,089 --> 00:06:08,930

it'll get these huge graceful plumes on




160

00:06:09,129 --> 00:06:11,210

the top and it will fill in beautifully




161

00:06:11,410 --> 00:06:12,949

and then with how this supertunia vistas




162

00:06:13,149 --> 00:06:14,810

snowdrift is supposed to grow I think




163

00:06:15,009 --> 00:06:16,730

we're gonna be in for like a super




164

00:06:16,930 --> 00:06:18,710

dramatic show maybe even all the way to




165

00:06:18,910 --> 00:06:21,800

the crown the kitty loves it and I think




166

00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,079

with the general design like if you look




167

00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,699

down the way and you see the line of




168

00:06:25,899 --> 00:06:27,680

trees in the line of containers I think




169

00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,920

going with just one one arrangement the




170

00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,329

same thing in every container will be a




171

00:06:32,529 --> 00:06:35,120

very striking effect and it won't you




172

00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:37,338

know jar your eyes too much and also




173

00:06:37,538 --> 00:06:38,960

just using two different plants instead




174

00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,400

of using you know a whole bunch of




175

00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,990

different colors in this one container




176

00:06:42,189 --> 00:06:44,449

and the other supertunia vistas that are




177

00:06:44,649 --> 00:06:46,009

available are all in the pink family




178

00:06:46,209 --> 00:06:47,509

which is great for me because I love




179

00:06:47,709 --> 00:06:49,400

pink I love to use those in fact I'm




180

00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,540

using a whole bunch of my garden this




181

00:06:50,740 --> 00:06:52,550

year but I was so excited to learn that




182

00:06:52,750 --> 00:06:54,020

there was a new one and that it was




183

00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:56,149

white because I do think I could have a




184

00:06:56,348 --> 00:06:58,430

garden completely full of green like




185

00:06:58,629 --> 00:07:00,468

shades of green foliage with white




186

00:07:00,668 --> 00:07:02,870

blooms and I would be happy with that so




187

00:07:03,069 --> 00:07:05,480

when I planted these I did add in some




188

00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,160

of this continuous release plant food




189

00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,230

like I do in all my containers I think I




190

00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:11,600

added about between 8 and 10 tablespoons




191

00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,910

and just mixed it into about the top




192

00:07:14,110 --> 00:07:16,430

couple inches of soil with plants like




193

00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:18,620

this that are huge huge performers they




194

00:07:18,819 --> 00:07:20,180

are really hungry plants they need a lot




195

00:07:20,379 --> 00:07:22,460

of food to perform the best so I always




196

00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:24,199

start with that and then I'm actually




197

00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,540

gonna give my parents a tub of this this




198

00:07:26,740 --> 00:07:27,980

is what I use in my containers on a




199

00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:30,170

weekly basis at home so they'll be




200

00:07:30,370 --> 00:07:31,910

feeding these plants every single week




201

00:07:32,110 --> 00:07:34,399

with a water soluble and that will keep




202

00:07:34,598 --> 00:07:36,588

them very happy and full of bloom so




203

00:07:36,788 --> 00:07:38,600

anyway that is it for this video I was




204

00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,278

205

00:07:40,478 --> 00:07:41,930

210
