Van Dusen Gardens is in Vancouver, zone 8b… it’s a little different from your zone 5.

Is your penstemon Midnight Masquerade?

What zone is that “Rosie Teacups Dogwood“? Online it doesn’t look hardy to Wisconsin…

I definitely NEED more Alliums , I only have some little ones that look like large chives , lol pretty, but not very impactful, Thanks again for the great videos !😊

I had my first success with poppies this year but it was only one plant. Now after that and seeing this video I need so so many more next year.

The bird is a wren. You can figure out the birds using the Merlin App from Cornell University

Don’t give up in the sweet potatoes, i think they love heat! I live in zone 4 and only tried them once, got 3 nice potatoes off of one plant🙁

I put my big white mop head hydrangea in a playpen 😉 I put a wire leaf composter around it a few years ago and that holds it upright nicely, with the green wire disappearing as it grows taller.

Crazy cool weather today! My limelight hydrangeas have a few flowers. Mostly just buds but actual flowers on a few stems. It’s at least 30 days early. Chicago lakefront so just south of you.

When is the best time to plant clematis? I want to train them up my spindly serviceberries. I need a shady variety.

Garden looks gorgeous! I started a clematis texensis 'Princess Diana' up the golden elder (trimmed up like a tree) and it's just about to bloom. Western Canada zone 4a.

Japanese beetles are the worst! I am slowly replacing my roses with baptisia as it seems the beetles don't care for it.

Penstemon is midnight masquerade.

It’s a Wren 🎶

The garden looks amazing!!

I've been getting your videos on my feed but I watch them all pretty much lol

Never apologize. I love your garden.

LOVE your strolls. We don't need perfection just inspiration. 💕 This year is a new experience for me. My husband and I moved to another state. Our son said I could garden in his front landscape bed. BAD soil (clay) and in ground sprinklers. Such a challenge. Plants in but not growing much. Fingers crossed friends. Love looking at your hosta. Had hail here last week and my son's hosta look terrible. I'm taking them out next year. Learning experience for sure.

My nigella are a carpet- what variety did you have that is so tall?

These strolls are the best! Love to see the changes. I now need clematis!!!

Everything looking great. Love the strolls. My takeaway is I need to plant 'Kent Beauty' in the fall, perhaps to replace the sweet woodruff that I have to keep beating back. Re: postcard...we saw this tree, Liburnum 'Golden Chain Tree' for the first time when we were hiking in the Pacific Northwest recently. Another hiker we met along the trail (also a garden enthusiast from the UK) was able to ID the plant for the curious hikers who wandered off the trail to get a closer look...the bees were eerily audible. Reminded me of that creepy movie, The Wicker Man with Nicolas Cage. 😊

Erin, have you ever seen Corydalis, Blue Heron? It’s the most fantastic color of blue flowers on red stems and grey/blue foliage. In pictures it looks fabulous and I’m sure it’s not too shabby in person. Your blue flowers are beautiful and a true blue flower is always worth having, spread about the garden or in pots.

Thanks Erin. Great garden. You don’t have my nemesis Red lily beetle. I don’t have any lilies left because I can’t keep up with the beasties. They hear you coming and drive off the plant and land upside down on the soil. You can’t see them. The larvae wrap themselves in excrement. 🤮

I have serious clematis envy! I just can’t figure out what they need in my garden. Everything looks lush and beautiful Erin!

Sweet potatoes seem to thrive in the heat so maybe once your area heats up, they will do better.

The bird is a Carolina Wren. New to us here in New Hamphire as of a couple of years ago. Such a beautiful sound in the garden!

Everything is GORGEOUS 💚 I want one of those dogwoods badly but I need to look it up ,I am in East Tennessee zone 7b , I would stroke for 60/degrees,we get an average of Twenty 90/ degrees a year BUT this year already had 15 straight days of 90and above and today is the last day of June July and August 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️to go and no rain ,not a best gardening season . As I am writing this Rain Rain Rain ,sorry,I am so surprised and excited 🎈🎈🎈🎈

More allium for me

I have a bunch of things to plant too!! Right now it’s 90° and thunderstorms. Maybe tomorrow!

OMG, I'm so jealous of all those poppies. I have not succeeded with them. If anyone watching, gardens in the deep south and has been successful with poppies please comment with your technique or process. I am not giving up. Same with lupine.

Travis from Lazy Dog Farm on utube is a great source for me. He lives in Georgia but full of good information . Good luck❤ I'm planting sweet potatoes for the first time. I had to spray w Neem white fly caterpillar were eating leaves.

Your property is beautiful. And your Garden tours are always fun and informative. Envious of your long sleeve 😂 from N.Dallas Tx. 🥵

LOL I was like oooh Japanese beetle (shortened to JB in my household.) glad you noticed 😂

❤

Sounds like a House Wren!

Finally got some rain in southeast PA so I’m extra excited to watch this garden stroll!

Hi Erin, what is the tall flower at 13:00 you said about 6’. Transcript is reading “sangura”. Thx

Love your garden and that delphinium cheer blue is such a beautiful color. I don’t think it could survive here in 9a though, do you know of another blue that could?

It all looks great! I’m terribly jealous of gardeners not in an endless heat dome and drought. It’s so nasty here in central NC. Opting to water what’s important and let turf and annuals go. I will say my queeny lime zinnias are in heaven this summer. On a happy note, you inspired me to go to Chanticleer this summer. Excited!.

Was that the Macinaw race? That’s quit a trip, great garden 👍

Love the screen door color 👍

On your slate and gravel walkway, there is a non toxic sealer (spray), non- skid, you can spray on to keep the little stones in place. I saw it on a You tube short where someone did it over their commercial bark mulch & also stone. I used the leftover Behr concrete sealer in high gloss that we used on our front patio (surrounded by plants) on a new sloped walkway we made that looks exactly like your configuration: slate slabs with small rounded pebbles. It looks amazing!! We just poured straight from the jug into a sprayer--easy!

This is my second year growing the Royal Sunset lilies and mine are already done blooming. I’m in Los Angeles zone 10. I fell in love with the lilies when I saw them on one of your garden tours. They’re amazing.

Jumping worm?🤔 Your gardens are beautiful 😍

We had so much heat in zone 6A, my sweet peas already dried out.

Beautiful 🌼🐝

A lot of hard work went on here ; looks so beautiful , sure do appreciate it !

Your garden looks great and very peaceful. Thanks for a garden stroll.

You're right Midwest 's photos of your garden are so beautiful

Just FYI, the yellow tree on the postcard is a golden chain tree not a golden rain tree.
