Hi Danielle, sorry the oregano didn't work out for you, I agree with you to plant your hydrangea where you talked about and try the drops of Jupiter in the raised bed or a large container where you can control the water yourself. I don't like a structured plan when I garden, if something doesn't work out, I can try something else, I love to experiment with new varieties to keep the gardens interesting and fun to be in. Thanks for the dahlia seed info. your pressed flowers are so pretty, you have inspired me to go press my cosmos! btw your dahlias are gorgeous! Can't wait to see all your craft projects you talked about. Grace is so loyal to you,

My first year to plant sweet peas in the fall! So excited! I had my husband rototill the bed, mulched it and then I started the seeds in containers. They grew like weeds and were 6 inches tall when I planted them yesterday. But then, lo and behold, the sweet peas that self seeded were ALSO appearing there sprouting everywhere and not quite as tall as my seedlings. So that tells me I could just direct seed. So very interested in your results and how it goes. Keep us posted. I am in 8b though so warmer BUT we do get some 25 degree days sometimes!

Have you considered going back to the idea of lady’s mantle (alchemilla mollis) If I remember correctly the ornamental oregano came about when the lady’s mantle wasn’t available at the time in the quantities you needed for surrounding the area. I have those in a similar situation and love those there, they thrive. Your experiment taught me that if I want the ornamental oregano in my garden, it would need to be a drier spot. Always learning from you Danielle, thanks for another video.

I wonder until you plant the shrubs whether it be the hydrangeas or something else could you fill the space where the ornamental oregano was with some autumn flowers and grasses and perhaps some pumpkins that would complement the tones of your surrounding flowers. I like to use the antique colors in sage greens, the muted oranges ( LI cheese pumpkins ) the white ones as well. I’m going to try to find a pink Sheffield mum to add to my garden this fall. Have you ever seen these They are beautiful!

Always enjoy your videos. I love sweet peas but they don’t seem to do very well in our hot, humid climate in central Illinois. Also we have been getting very little rain here which makes growing anything difficult. That’s why I love watching your videos. Your garden is fabulous! I love planning my gardens in my head at night when I am trying to sleep.

I direct sowed my sweet peas a couple of weeks ago, and most have sprouted. Just an experiment to see if they can make it through our winters, which are usually mild except for a week in January or February when we experience single digits for several nights in a row! Zone 7B / 8A N MS.

I plan it in my head - every night - that’s how i fall asleep. Never write it down. It changes every few nights and every time i order new seeds. My inspiration comes when i am actually planting, changing my mind, moving plants and replanting. Sounds chaotic but thats what works for me!

Once you plant oregano, you're going to have it coming up all over your garden for years to come. Also, miss seeing your book nook. The tall dahlias hide that structure from view. Don't know if that's what you were going for, but shouldn't it be a showcase structure Just wondering.

We are really liking the Aronia we planted this year developed by Mark Brand (licensed to PW)- it hugs the ground as the same says, and although rabbits could graze they are tough and can take it and take the water. The berries are blue black and bursts into fall color

NC, Piedmont area, Zone 8A, we’ve had a lot of rain here as well. Hurricane Helene dropped a lot of rain and it rained again this morning. It’s nothing compared to the western side of the state. Highways are still closed. Still sending prayers their way.

Seeing your garden still looking great put me in a better mood. Also, I enjoy your commentary while cutting back plants - shows real time of labour while still being engaging. And last, what breed is Grace Looks like a silver lab but softer.

Everything looks so beautiful in your garden! I would love to have some of those seeds! I can’t wait to hear when they are available! I swear, Grace just poses for the camera. You can see her just looking at it like she knows it’s filming her!

I have a section of my yard that we’re going to remove the grass. I want to plant more flowers and scrubs, mixed in with some veggies. My husband wants to know the plan. I’m pretty much stumped and now I’m open to suggestions.

I have tried sweet peas every which way and they never perform well for me here in zone 8b western Oregon! I’m from the UK where sweet peas always thrived in my childhood gardens, I’ll live vicariously through you Danielle!

I am in the same zone, planted sweet pea in the Fall before and they were so healthy and happy come Spring. They did outperform the one I started in January. Your video just reminded me I need to do this again.

Hi Danielle,
I say go for the Limettas! I bought two Limettas earlier in the season, based on your recommendation, and I absolutely love them. They’re still producing blooms in my Northern VA, Zone 7B garden.

Always inspiring! I seed dahlias! It’s always a surprise to see their colors. I need to press some! So pretty!
Sweet peas just don’t last for me in NC zone 8A so this might work better.

looking forward to see the sweet pea comparison. I just pre-soaked my seeds and direct seeded in my bed. The sprouts are already a few inches tall! Hoping to see them successfully overwinter

I have had some sweet peas either come back or sow seed. I have enough sweet pea seeds I can try direct sowing. I’m in upstate NY 5b/6a so I will keep you posted.

Candy corn spirea could be cute! My golden oregano did the same thing in flat areas, but I have a rocky hill area and they still look great in that part of my garden.
