My Garden (2017-2023)
The garden has peaked. There should be a special word that combines the feeling of both of complete ephoroa and melancholy, knowing it is all downhill from here. This is our .6 acre yard in Gig Harbor Wa (zone 8b). I went extra crazy this year because it was on our local garden tour (over 1,000 people came through in June!) I made a video tour that shows what each area looked like before I got my hands on it. 5 years of sweaty work!
I get a lot of questions about how I did it. There was no plan. I just ripped out what I didn’t like and crammed in plants I thought were pretty. And then water like mad. I don’t want to see any soil! There are 10 sprinkler zones. Every spring I mulch with 4 i...

Peaking Garden 2022

Here it is at its peak this year! I hate/love when it's at it's prime. This is the finale week I dream of every March, but from now on, it will look worse every week. It kills me a little very year. This is my 4th summer in this .6 acre yard. It used to be all shrubs. I needed color, so I yanked most of them, and I got it! It will be on the Gig Harbor Garden Tour next June!

When I was in middle school, I had a really tough time. The highlight of my day was the bus ride home, passing a house absolutely dripping with flowers. It made me so happy and made my tough days a little brighter. “Someday,” I thought, “I will have a garden that makes people happy when they drive by.” It has been my goal the last 15 years to be on a garden tour. In a little over 24 hours, the ...

    This is a video I can watch over and over again. My family and I were trying to decide where to vacation this year and I came across this video. So glad I did! Did you have to take the ferry back to Saint Thomas every time you went grocery shopping or are there grocery stores on Saint John too? How long is the ferry ride?

    • @corareuter7347
      @corareuter7347 3 года назад

      Go! St. John is the best kept secret in the Caribbean. It’s a quick and easy 15 min ferry ride! There is a ferry near the airport and it’s a 40 min ride. There are grocery stores on St John! We just went to STT every couple months for bulk buying at Cost U less since it’s cheaper.

    Awesome Video. We are from Oregon and hoping to spend a few months a year there. Looks like a blast. I love all the animals everywhere. FYI, touching green turtles deposits oil from our hands to the shell of the turtle. It causes fungus and other diseases which eventually kills them. They are protected. I know it's a $20,000 fine if caught in Hawaii. I know it's illegal to touch them in the VI's too but I don't know what the fine is. Just FYI for the future. Thanks. You look like an awesome family!

    • @corareuter7347
      @corareuter7347 3 года назад

      Oh trust me, seeing the turtle touching now makes me CRIIIIINGE. We didn’t know about it for the first several months we were there. There were zero signs at the time. I made this video for a “yearbook” for my family and the file was too big to keep anywhere but RUclips. Had I known this little video would be watched by so many people I would have edited the turtle touching out! Sadly my original video footage and edits live on a lost hard drive. So I put a turtle disclaimer in the main video caption.

It was a total shock. we actually traveled back to STJ last Jan and thats where the baby was conceived. We can’t get that island out of our blood! Anyway, it’s a fun video, as is the gender reveal.
