Welcome to my parents' garden 🌿 Zone 5 garden tour

Erin's mom's homemade deer repellent:
5 eggs
1 tablespoon powered red cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper

Put all ingredients into a jug and add water to make 1 gallon. You can add a drop or two of dish soap to act as a surfactant, although my mom usually skips this. Original recipe says to further dilute the mixture with 4 parts water to every 1 part egg mixture, but my mom usually does half that. Shake it up very well before use. She punches holes in a spare lid (usually she uses an old laundry soap jug) and shakes it onto plants but you can also use a watering can.

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your mom’s garden. Clearly, the apple 🍎 didn’t fall far from the tree. Would love another tour later in the summer.

Holy cow, it's easy to see where you obtained your passion and skills for gardening. Well done Erin's mother!

Wow, Erin, your parent's gardens are extremely gorgeous and so well maintained. You must have been inspired by your mom's love of gardening. You must be your mother's twin when it comes to surrounding your property with beautiful plants. Please tell your parents that we thank them for allowing you to share a glimpse of their lovely property with us. ~Margie

Packed beds and less weeds...grabs keys to head out for more hostas, telling hubby, "cuz Erin said so". LOL

What beautiful gardens and what a view. Ok I have no idea what a jumping worm is but I probably would never come out of the house. I have a snake aversion and worms remind me of baby snakes. I really enjoyed the tour❤️❤️❤️

She has gorgeous gardens and I bet her fall color is wonderful as well. It’s always fun to see other people’s gardens. Thanks you so very much for the tour. I really need a crabapple in my life. Lol. All the beautiful gardens I see has a crabapple or two. Hers is one of the prettiest. Take care and thanks again. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

This was so fun to watch! Unfortunately I didn’t see the video until fall ….. which made me think of how wonderful it would be to see their garden in each season!

That lake view is spectacular! I hope your mom enjoys some time on a lawn chair admiring the views. That’s a huge garden for one person. Truly beautiful.

Beautiful garden. Kudos to your Mom! I do everything in my garden too and I love every minute of it. It’s where I lose myself. That’s the beauty of gardening.

Thank you so much for showing us your mom’s gardens. So beautiful. I understand now where you get your passion for plants. We try to equal our mom’s beds but somehow she win at every turn. 😂 So many years of experience. Tell your mother that we simply love what she is doing in the garden.
