Now it is a manageable size and way better, wasn't my intention to do that and it was scary, but it was a good learning experience!)

I'm very like that as well, being a visual person, I'll sketch and draw out a plan but until it is in situe I just don't know. Also I have even MORE statue/fountain/garden ornament envy now.
    I still LOVED the circle path you made with the birdbath/planter on the side lined with brick and gravel. It is SO like an English country house feel and that colour way of that planter is my WISH LIST colour for when I can finally get my First piece from Unique stone...Goals.

    I have the top portion Child holding bowl but, one Spring I found it with the top bowl broken.It killed me when I saw it.So now I just put a pot on top/ metal rod goes through bottom of pot to hold it.Plant some favorite annuals ,and still enjoy it. I love watching you,and energy,creativity,you so remind me of myself at that age.I couldn’t do enough in a day! I’m 73, been gardening for 50 years,and still with less energy,and some health problems now and then,my yard is still an eye stopper.I have a very English garden,great architectural pieces and containers. I’ m not the normal yard on the street,and no matter how old I get,I still change things,add things.I love architectural columns,copper pots,very fancy architectural arbor with what had been a charming Picked fence that we designed ourselves,and cut 246 pickets that surrounded our front yard.Our home is now 40 years old,A New England Saltbox style.Last year to ease our maintenance.,we had installed a black iron fence,with fleur de Les tops and circles adorned. So my cottage look,turned into ,that very elegant English look I have admired since a trip to England in 1987. Please keep these wonderful videos coming,I love watching them,your energy,your cute little guy,that try’s to help Mom out.I see,your beautiful new addition,baby girl.Such a sweet family,God Bless you !

    What I enjoy the most about this channel is that you keep things simple. It inspires me to know that I can do it too! Because of this channel and Epic Gardening, I’ve started a garden for the first time. Thanks for helping me get out of my head and just do the dang thing 💪🏼

    I love that it ended up where you can see it from the kitchen! Although I wasn't sure it was going to make it anywhere when you started to pull the wagon with the bowl on it! I gasped out loud when the wagon tipped up!! It's beautiful and I think everyone will enjoy it including Benjamin, the cats and maybe some birds when Benjamin and the cats aren't around. It was fun to see Samantha Grace and her beautiful smile! 💖😀👍

    I'm sure every single viewer went ohohohoh when that cart started to tip!! That would have been extremely sad if not fallen and broken. So thankful it didn't. I love how you want to focus on what's pretty and beautiful and pleasing right now in the midst of all the chaos I know people. Keep at it and keep encouraging us to do the same. Working in my yard gives much pleasure and helps when things in life are tough. God bless you both!!

    perfect placement!! i love her there, and how refreshing to hear that sound and see that water spilling over on a hot summer's day... the plants will appreciate the bit of splashing, too... Benjamin and Samantha Grace are just too adorable ...love Russell completely bombing the camera to supervise... your patience with this kind of project is amazing... and so worth the effort...thanks for the video!!

    Good morning Garden Answer community. 🙂 🌿🪴🌱⛲️

    I can see how you are having a hard time with all the stuff going on . Your yard is beautiful and I totally appreciate that you take us along on this journey. If we only saw the successes then we would never learn how to keep going. I follow a breeder of dogs who owns a big pack of them. One of the things i am so thankful for is she shows her failures right along with the successes. I will say again that in my dreams i want the relationship you and Aaron have. It is special. You work so well together.

  • @michellemarie8268
    @michellemarie8268 3 года назад +1

    I think it will be a blessing for you to be able to focus on spring, summer, fall and winter interest on the gardens and area that aren’t tore up right now and make them your own instead of managing what was there previously. Tear out whatever you don’t like and don’t want and get it to where it truly reflects you and your style.

    I absolutely love where you ended up putting your fountain! It’s perhaps just a wee bit on the loud side but very beautiful. Love how you tackled the project and got there in the end! Will you show us briefly whether the water deflection worked?

I hurt my back and could not work in my gardens at all last year so I hope you never have that problem. I was so much like you lifting and digging not thinking of what could happen. It is just the mother in me caring for my friend.Mary
