    Your magic garden actually made me cry today. You turned this poorly yard into a beautiful garden. I will always remember when I saw this house the first time and felt so sorry for you as you had left a magic garden. I got over the shock once I realized actually you had a clean slate to work with and knew you could make it beautiful. Linda, you created the most delicate and pleasing to the eye garden I have ever seen.

And, that bed also has a two tiered topiaried sunshine ligustrum!

I wish I could grow it out in the front yard, it takes too long to fill back in for the front. Love how you shaped that up. I’ve got it growing in courtyard with David Austin roses.

    The table placement is nice that way. Makes the garden more welcoming. Everything is looking beautiful. The tulips really amp up the cottage vibe. We have daffodils and hyacinth blooming early here in IL, but tulips are a ways out. Hoping the Sunshine Lagustrum might do alright. We are now a zone 6. I like boxwood balls but unsure on the lagustrum. Both maybe!

  • @laurelcomeaux4723
    @laurelcomeaux4723 2 месяца назад

    I have struggled to find a foundation plant that would hold up to our weird Louisiana weather the last few years, but the sunshine ligustrum (I just keep it size controlled by clipping a little bit) has been a winner. I have red dianthus planted in front of it as well as red and yellow pansies since last fall. Oh, my, it has been truly beautiful the last month or two. Not tried the grass, but love the vibe it gives the backyard, Linda!

    The backyard is dreamy! Have you thought of swapping the dining table area with the fire pit area? The dining table near the raised beds would have a nice pattern of rectangular shapes. The firepit in front of it would be a nice rounded curve (as the steps) to approach from the steps or the gate. As the fire pit is lower than the dining table, you’d have a more sunken lounge feeling as you enter the back? I love watching out your space together!
