- (claps) Y'all, it's a beautiful spring day,
0:03
and I just kinda wanted to get out of the kitchen
0:06
for a minute. (cockerel crowing)
0:06
You know, we're right here at Easter time,
0:09
and you know, our Easters,
0:11
depending on where you live,
0:12
what region of the country you live in,
0:17
you have different growing seasons.
0:19
(leaves rustling) Oh, listen to that wind.
0:22
(cockerel crowing) Ooh, I love it.
0:24
But at Easter time down here,
0:28
we have all these beautiful flowers,
0:31
so Eddie is gonna give us a tutorial today
0:35
on, (laughs) on... (cockerel crowing)
0:38
You know, I've found this,
0:39
there's just not much he can't do.
0:41
In fact, I'm gon' ask him this afternoon
0:43
if he'd give me a haircut.
0:44
Just a little haircut, Eddie. (laughs)
0:48
Oh, my gosh,
0:50
he's gon' find something to do this afternoon, I think.
0:53
But anyway,
0:55
he is very knowledgeable when it comes to outside,
1:00
and I adore flowers.
1:02
I adore them,
1:03
but I don't claim to have a green thumb,
1:07
so I'm gon' follow Eddie around in the yard
1:10
because he has started his love of flowers.
1:15
He started it this week,
1:18
so come on, let's go follow him
1:20
and see if we can learn something.
1:24
You know, you can tell me, Eddie,
1:26
but then a day or two, I may forget. (laughs)
1:31
But what is this stuff called?
1:36
- I'm not sure. It didn't have a name on it.
1:38
- Okay, it reminds me of a big baby's breath.
1:40
- [Eddie] I just like that it...
1:44
- [Paula] Drapes. - [Eddie] Drapes.
1:45
- [Paula] Yeah, I love the drape, too.
1:46
- And I don't even know if it's the...
1:48
You know, like you were saying,
1:50
I mean, we have different seasons here
1:54
than, like, the northeast,
1:57
and right now, we're in our first stage
2:02
of what we normally put out. - Yeah, yesterday was
2:03
the first day of spring, I believe.
2:06
- I think today, or wait, yeah.
2:08
- I think it was yesterday,
2:10
or at least, it was in New York,
2:11
the first day of spring, raining and cold.
2:15
- We are playing catch-up with...
2:17
- Yes. The snow, from the snow.
2:21
- Well, the snow killed everything going around the house.
2:24
- Everything. Everything.
2:24
- [Eddie] So we had to replant, going around.
2:28
We have the metal roof here,
2:30
so when snow slid off, it just
2:33
(indistinct) everything. - [Paula] It crushed it.
2:35
It crushed it,
2:36
so Eddie said, "I wanna try us doing pots,"
2:40
and course, the boxwood...
2:43
We love boxwoods down here
2:45
because they survive summer, winter, fall.
2:49
They can live through it all,
2:52
So Eddie said, "I wanna to just do some pots back here."
2:58
All right, now, what are the other things
2:59
you've planted, Eddie?
3:01
- [Eddie] The azaleas.
3:02
These azaleas in the back row
3:05
will bloom right through fall.
3:08
- [Paula] Oh, yay.
3:09
- [Eddie] So I thought it would be great to have.
3:10
- [Paula] Yes, and what what's the name of that azalea?
3:14
- [Eddie] That I don't know. I don't know-
3:15
- [Paula] Okay.
3:18
Uh-oh.
3:20
Something is falling down.
3:21
All right, now these look like they're crying for-
3:24
- [Eddie] These are geraniums.
3:25
- [Paula] Yeah, geraniums.
3:26
- [Eddie] We've got impatiens.
3:28
I've gotta get the watering system all set, too, right?
3:31
- [Paula] Yeah.
3:31
- Because we're still on the watering system
3:33
for wintertime.
3:34
- Yeah, well, in a little while I'll get the hose,
3:38
and I'll give them some water.
3:40
But you have started planting impatiens.
3:45
- These are sunpatiens that will tolerate the sun.
3:49
- [Paula] Yeah, because most impatiens don't like
3:53
the bright hard sun, do they?
3:55
- [Eddie] Impatiens need to be in the shade.
3:57
These, sunpatiens,
4:00
and this area here get...
4:03
Last year, we did them, as well.
4:04
We did with them right here,
4:05
and they've lasted great. - [Paula] Uh-huh.
4:08
- The rose bush is coming back great.
4:10
- [Paula] Yes.
4:11
- All kinds of buds getting ready
4:13
to pop in another week. - [Paula] I know it.
4:15
Yes it'll be... - [Eddie] Nice and full.
4:17
- [Paula] It'll be covered with roses, won't it?
4:20
Oh, look, and down here they've started blooming, too,
4:23
on this end.
4:24
I just knew the snow because
4:27
the snow was crushing it, too,
4:30
and I was so afraid that it would not come back.
4:33
- [Eddie] Well, this, the peak on the roof
4:36
wasn't on this side, so we lucked out there.
4:38
- [Paula] Yeah, yeah, and what are these in the...
4:46
(birds chirping)
4:49
- [Eddie] My memory. (Paula laughing)
4:54
- [Woman] They almost look like a petunia.
4:55
- [Eddie] No, they're not.
4:56
- [Woman] Or an impatiens.
4:58
- [Paula] And I bet these Rudy, don't they like?
5:00
- [Woman] Begonia? - [Eddie] Begonias.
5:01
- [Paula] Begonias, yeah.
5:02
- [Woman] I knew I get there some time.
5:03
- [Paula] I knew it, I knew what it was too,
5:04
but I couldn't come up with it.
5:06
But I bet these snap off and root real good, don't they?
5:09
- [Eddie] Yeah, you can.
5:10
- So you can have,
5:11
you can put these in water, root them and plant 'em
5:16
and you'll have begonias everywhere.
5:18
- [Woman] So when I'm out here over the weekend cutting,
5:21
you'll know what I'm doing.
5:22
- Yes, yes.
5:23
- [Woman] I'm just stealing from you.
5:24
- Absolutely. Absolutely. (woman laughing)
5:26
There's no sense in going to the nursery
5:28
and buying 'em when you have things like that,
5:31
that root so nicely.
5:33
- [Eddie] So in this area here,
5:35
you keep mentioning you want wild, you know,
5:39
like a wildflower. - [Paula] Uh-huh.
5:41
- [Eddie] Wildflowers just don't do well down here.
5:44
We have a very small window to have that look.
5:48
- [Paula] Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
5:49
And I do love wildflowers.
5:51
- [Eddie] So I started with this
5:54
big wall and then with the box,
5:56
which you got a lot of green going on in this yard.
5:58
- [Paula] Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
6:00
- [Eddie] I started here
6:01
and I need to find some other colorful plant
6:03
that are gonna come up like in the corner.
6:06
- [Paula] Yes. I love the purple.
6:07
- [Eddie] But I thought I would start adding some the
6:09
colors in between. - Uh-huh.
6:11
Oh, you go out a lot of times and I'm not always with you.
6:14
So where are you finding,
6:17
where's your favorite place?
6:19
Places? I know you.
6:20
- I mean, I'll go to places that everyone can go to.
6:24
- [Paula] Uh-huh.
6:24
- Savannah has some nice little, you know,
6:30
family owned, you know like the Davis.
6:32
- [Paula] Yeah. Yeah.
6:33
- But they're not always gonna be like
6:35
the biggest selections.
6:36
- [Paula] Yeah.
6:37
- So definitely Home Depot.
6:38
- They have beautiful ferns though at Davis Produce.
6:41
- Yes. - Don't they?
6:42
- Yes. - And Christmas trees.
6:45
So we couldn't be more fortunate for Easter
6:50
and flowers to,
6:54
run into each other, you know?
6:56
- [Eddie] As you can see
6:58
in the south spring fall kinda of
7:01
tied a little bit with the leaf falling the lot Oaks
7:05
release their leaves right now.
7:08
- [Paula] Uh-huh.
7:09
- [Eddie] They will have about a month of leaves falling.
7:11
It's a little messy.
7:12
- [Paula] Yeah. They keep hitting me out here
7:16
and over here, Eddie,
7:17
I can't wait for our Elephant Ears.
7:21
And they're popping up.
7:23
- [Eddie] The Elephant Ears will come up
7:24
over in this section.
7:26
- [Paula] Yes. (footsteps crunching)
7:32
Yes, yes, yes.
7:35
All right.
7:35
Did our,
7:38
did our herb planter make it?
7:41
- Yeah.
7:42
- Oh yeah, there it is. Yeah.
7:42
- [Eddie] Yeah. Actually that's-
7:44
- [Paula] So we can run out.
7:45
- [Eddie] Through the winter.
7:46
- [Paula] How about that? How about that?
7:48
And we had a beautiful rose,
7:51
climbing rose over here
7:53
and it wanted to come down the steps.
7:55
And you have to be careful because you'd stick yourself.
7:58
- [Eddie] I redirected it.
7:59
- [Paula] So I see you redirected it. (laughs)
8:03
And I want you to know,
8:06
let's see what it,
8:08
was it Monday?
8:12
Monday, I was at the restaurant or was it Tuesday?
8:14
I can't remember.
8:16
But when we left that morning, Eddie,
8:19
I was looking at the dogwood tree
8:22
and I couldn't see any buds.
8:23
When we got home that afternoon,
8:28
we drove in and that tree was blooming.
8:32
- [Woman] Let's go look at it. - Okay, come look
8:35
because it's beautiful.
8:38
What did you say, Eddie?
8:41
- [Eddie] That well, this-
8:42
- [Paula] Monday was at its peak.
8:43
- [Eddie] Yeah. This tree here is already,
8:45
it's already gone past its peak.
8:47
- [Paula] Uh-huh.
8:48
- [Eddie] The blooms are already,
8:49
the leaves are already coming out.
8:50
- [Paula] Uh-huh, and starting to fall.
8:53
But I'm a big lover as well as Eddie,
8:56
with the pots
8:58
because pots can make a big statement.
9:02
Everything doesn't have to be planted in the ground.
9:07
And I like pots
9:09
because you can kind of move them
9:11
if there's help around here to help move them.
9:15
And I see you've got more impatiens over here to put out.
9:19
- [Eddie] Yeah, those will add some great color.
9:22
Again, that's all green over this way.
9:24
So in the summertime those little clusters behind
9:28
the bushes will really pop.
9:30
- Yeah. Yeah.
9:32
I was real excited yesterday to come out
9:34
and see that our climbing rose was blooming.
9:39
Y'all wanna go see our climbing rose?
9:42
They are so beautiful.
9:44
I've never been a rose person.
9:46
I had a neighbor,
9:47
a friend and neighbor
9:49
that she had a rose garden
9:52
and she worked in that garden every day.
9:54
Pruning,
9:56
puffing this powder on them.
9:59
- Yeah, I know it takes a lot of work.
10:00
- And they were beautiful
10:02
but the climbing roses,
10:03
they don't take that kind of energy.
10:07
- Right.
10:08
- And that's why I love those so much.
10:10
Plus I love the fact that they climb
10:11
and cover more territory than just straight up.
10:15
So let's go-
10:16
- [Woman] We showed them when we were over by the garage,
10:17
just so you know,
10:19
you're talking about the ones over here?
10:20
- No, not, those are red climbing roses
10:23
and I don't know,
10:25
do you know what kind this one is, Eddie?
10:29
It got planted years ago
10:34
so I don't know the name of it
10:37
other than just a climbing rose
10:40
but I highly recommend those y'all.
10:43
Everything looks a little rough right now
10:46
because we're just two days into our season.
10:50
But I love concrete appointments
10:53
in the garden or in the yard.
10:56
To me they add so, so much.
10:58
Now this will be,
10:59
this will come into the white
11:01
and cover the black
11:03
with the Elephant Ears soon.
11:06
(birds chirping) And the bird feeders,
11:09
we have all this wild stuff just popping up
11:13
where the birds drop the seeds on the ground.
11:17
And Eddie, I love these.
11:18
Now, I think of these as being wild ferns.
11:22
I love this part of the yard.
11:24
To me, it's just real peaceful.
11:33
And Eddie, now you tell me that we don't need
11:35
to cut these back
11:38
and I've always come out, and you know, broken them all off,
11:42
because these hydrangeas
11:44
will be beautiful in what, a month?
11:47
- [Eddie] They'll start,
11:48
you can see these already starting to
11:51
get the little seven.
11:55
- [Paula] Now, I think a hydrangea passed away
11:57
in that bucket, didn't they?
11:59
- [Eddie] These we have every other one I do
12:03
flowers, you know, so it's not all hydrangeas.
12:07
- All right, so here's our climbing rose back here.
12:11
And y'all these ferns survive every year
12:16
and they will be covered.
12:18
You won't be able to see any brown
12:21
and there's a- (wind blowing)
12:23
- [Eddie] Emily fern that that comes back every year.
12:25
- [Paula] Uh-huh.
12:29
- [Eddie] There's a Lady Banks Rosewood.
12:30
- [Paula] Yes, Lady banks. I couldn't remember.
12:32
I knew you'd know.
12:35
Look how gorgeous that is.
12:37
And like I said, it's old daddy.
12:41
- [Eddie] Yeah, I think-
12:42
- [Paula] I think we planted that not too long after.
12:44
- [Eddie] Yeah. And you know, last year was the first year
12:46
that I remember it blooming.
12:50
I'm thinking of maybe moving it so that it gets more sun.
12:52
This area doesn't really get much sun.
12:54
- Yeah. Well, I tied it up there
12:57
trying to give it a place to climb.
13:01
And all this,
13:02
we'll have to do another one of these, Eddie,
13:05
in about a month, right?
13:08
- [Eddie] Oh, yeah.
13:09
- And it'll look like a totally different yard.
13:11
But hopefully, this will get your spring juices flowing.
13:16
And
13:19
we are all wishing you a happy spring and a happy Easter.
13:24
Get out and enjoy the flowers and the pollen. Ugh!
