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.

What a stunning location and property and gardens too!
What a beautiful, beautiful garden! I would sit out on the deck with my coffee every morning! Love it! What a great place to grow up!
Following your suggestion to seek out Roy Diblik, I wonder if the grass I asked you to identify in your parents’ garden is perhaps Panicum ‘Northwind’? Thank you for the signpost.What an inspiration that wise gardener is … Thank you for the signpost.
Gorgeous 😍
I have bought fringe tree and i’ll soon plant it my patio’s get done 😀 they’re truely beautiful!
What a delight to see your mom’s garden! Thank you for allowing us in to draw inspiration as well!
Beautiful…..thanks for sharing
Such a gorgeous space. Thanks for sharing it with us. Would love another tour later in the season. I can tell where you got your love of gardening from 😊
Erin, please would you identify/name the clumps of tall, upright, dark green grass repeated around the garden; there are some clumps nearby the Clematis climbing up a structure which you pointed out. Excellent tour – again! – thanks so much.
Whose turkeys are they? Turkeys need to be controlled in order for the area to bloom fully. Mom is doing a great job and should not be stressed by unnecessary replanting and as soon as she does it is destroyed. Omg, mom is a super woman to be handling such a huge garden with some help from dad. Just viewing this video one can sense her love for gardening. Thanks for the visit
Erin, I see where your love of gardening started. Your Mom’s gardens are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing! (Love that water view).
Thank you so much for sharing such an abundant garden. Though I don’t regret moving back to my home state of Colorado, seeing the lake, bluffs, and rich plantings does make me a bit nostalgic for the many years in Mequon, just a mile from the lake. (I’ll regain my sanity in January when our glorious sunshine takes away the snow in just a few hours!)
Gorgeous! Thank you for the tour and your mom’s deer repellent recipe.
Such a nice garden. You’re parents have a beautiful property! Thank you for sharing!
I love this kind of classic landscaping. It looks great any time of the year. Were you saying your parents now own the land in the distance?
Erin: how often does your mom spray the deer repellent? I am definitely going to try her recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Your parents have such a nice property! What a blessing to be able to visit and lose yourself in this garden paradise!
Beautiful thank you for the tour. Please thank your parents for sharing. I’m going to try your mom’s deer repellent.
So, so lovely. My mom also believes in packing her flower beds to choke out weeds. Always a good plan!
I’m in a zone 5 so I like to watch videos specific to my zone. Thanks for the tour.🌿🌿
I can see where you get your Love of Gardening from. Beautiful Garden. I would love to see periodic Tours of her Garden.
I finally found my garden zone in my state of Wisconsin, I also am in SE Wisconsin, so this is right up my alley.
Thanks for sharing the recipe. Does it need to be reapplied after rain and does it work for rabbits?
Yes summer fall and winter
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!
Beautiful! Full of great design ideas. There definitely some similarities between yours & your mother’s garden. It must have been great to grow up there
Thank you. Such a great inspiration to draw from. Want to see more, especially in the fall.
Beautiful! I see where you get your inspiration!
Gorgeous garden. You clearly inherited the love of gardening from your mother. 🌷🌸🌼🌻🌺
Very beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed seeing your parents garden.
Love it!! Your mom did a great job.
just beautiful I also live in MI……
Incredible garden thanks for sharing
Please thank your parents for sharing their garden. What a wonderful landscape! The gardens are just fabulous and it was great to hear about the changes over the years.
Thank you Erin and to your mom for the deer recipe. I am having alot of my plants dissappear because the deer are eating them
How beautiful garden is~!
Thank you for good sharing~^^
Yes! Interested in more tours…perhaps slower, showcasing 1 or 2 beds to get the overall design features as well as individual plantings. Thank you!
Hi Erin, I’m new and love gardening. I formally was watching garden answers with Laura but for some reason I was being treated badly in my comments I don’t know if it’s because I’m a woman of color but I would love to be a part of your channel. Thank you in advance
I loved the tour! It was truly the inspiration I needed. Thanks
A lot of outdoor living spaces with great views.
Lovely garden!
Thank you, I have missed garden tours, your parents have a very nice view and garden, I found via Laura, Love wine and weeds!
Yes, that fringe tree is beautiful as is everything else. Would love for you to give us another tour in the summer. Thank you for this one.
Beautiful
Would love many revisits. 🙂
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Erin great tour thanks!
I’m new and a new gardener. Why don’t you use mulch? I’m using it to help keep weeds down. Should I not use it?
Beautiful place! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
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❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful!
