- Welcome to my mid-spring garden. I have half an acre in south Taranaki, New Zealand (zone 9) and have been creating my garden for the last 5 years and learning so much along the way. Links below.

I love your videos (and I miss them). You remind me so much of a Proverbs 31 women.
What do you use to keep your weeds under control, in your veggie patch and garden?
Thank you! I hand pull our weeds. Sometimes Grant sprays weeds that are in the driveway cracks etc, but in the veggie patch and flower beds it's all hand pulling.
Your garden is gorgeous! What a wonderful space. It's like you have your own park! Thanks for sharing your sunshine too! It's a bit grim over here at the moment...so... a nice pick me up! X
Thank you! Hope you get some sunny days soon.
Everything is looking so beautiful - thanks for bringing a little bit of spring to a grey autumn day. I loved the little mulched path through the flower bed, it looks so cute and cottagy if that makes any sense. My garden is looking rather worse for wear thanks to not really being able to spend much time in it due to this year's craziness, but I'm already thinking ahead to next year's spring/summer and your garden has left me feeling all inspired. Wishing you some more lovely weather to fully enjoy all that fresh, zingy, spring verdure.
Thank you so much! Hope your winter is not too bad and not too long.
Your garden looks so much healthier than ours! Auckland water restrictions mean we can’t use the hose so we have to use the dehumidifier water (not often during summer haha) or the watering can which is hard to get under the tap
That's a bummer!
I always love your garden tours - so inspiring. ♥️ Did you find you weren’t using the pools as much or what was reason for selling, if I may ask? Excited to see what you do with the space. It is a nice cozy area, for sure. 🤗
Thank you :) We just weren't using the pool often enough to justify the effort and the expense of fencing it in.
Yuhuu i like it
Very beautiful
Yuhuii...
Garden Lover !!
Thank you!
Very beautiful! Thanks for the cheery tour. Do you hand edge your beds or do you have an edger? I'm adding new beds now in the fall to be ready for next Spring, but every time I add a bed I think about buying an edger.
Thank you! I used to hand edge (with a spade) but now I have an electric edge trimmer, but I do some spade work too as I want to create / keep the bed lower than the grass edge. The electric (rechargeable battery) edger is great for keeping the grass trimmed and from growing wild into the bed, but spading the edge now and then and keeping the bed lower prevents any grass from growing in and makes it easier to trim with the edger.
First look at your spring! Your garden is looking really lovely. Our fall colors are finally showing their faces. Sold the pool???! You had such big plans for the pool area. But a really nice patio will be lots less work and expense. It was for us.
Thank you :) Yeah we never used the pool often enough to justify the hassle and expense.
Your garden is looking lovely as always. A question about hydrangeas. Ours started out well this year, lots of luscious leaves 🍃, but it didn’t flower at all, not even a bud. Any idea why that might be? They flowered last year, I think that was the first summer since buying them, but this year nothing. Although yesterday in November we noticed some buds appearing 🤷🏻♀️
Hard to know, Google says, "The primary reasons hydrangeas don't bloom are incorrect pruning, bud damage due to winter and/or early spring weather, location and too much fertilizer." - any of those likely to be true?
@@AThousandWords we didn’t prune haha. We put some miracle gro on but only after they hadn’t flowered. We didn’t get quite a hot spring, so maybe it was that.
I always love getting a look at your garden. It gives me so much inspiration. Thanks!
I'm so glad!

Just beautiful! Do you drink chamomile tea?.
Thank you! No, not really.
Could you do a second row of grapes below that one? Seems so sad to remove that one :(
To start with we'll train the new one below it, and then later remove the old one and give it to someone (it's indestructible, someone gave it to us because he kept trying to kill it and couldn't) and train the new one with a second layer.
Thanks so much for the garden tour. I always look forward to them.
Glad you like them!
You've got the most beautiful garden !🌹
Thank you so much 😊
Your poor husband haven to mow all those lawns.
My son loves mowing them on the ride on mower.
Enjoyed the tour! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just beautiful, you are so creative Jen.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful Garden! 😍😍😍😍
Thank you :)
Complimenti per il vostro bellissimo podere.
Grazie :)
Happy garden! Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised you got rid of the pool. What happened? And getting rid of the washing line seems so un-Jen like! Will you be installing another?
We just didn't use it enough to justify the hassle and also the expense of fencing it. We almost never used the washing line, we have rails in the house where we hang our washing to dry, and I tumble dry the guest house towels so they are fluffy. It didn't seem to make sense to keep the washing line when it was not being used.
Gorgeous, as always! I love spring, everything is new and fresh and full of life. I'm excited for the jasmine you wanna put next to the shed. It smells so lovely, I could never get enough. My mum used to leave jasmine in my bedroom when I was young, happy memories ☺️
Thank you so much!!
So lovely to go on your garden tour with you. Asparagus looking awesome! I only have one planter box and when I find a place to live more permanently would love more planter boxes. So rewarding and exciting keeping a veggie patch. Your garden looks lovely. Enjoyed watching as always.
Thank you! x
It is so nice to see your garden in spring as it is the opposite of mine with autumn here. Your property looks a lot larger than half an acre. Could you have meant half a hectare? I also noticed the magnolia tree (Port Wine?) seems to be gone from the guest house. Did it succumb to winter? Love all the self sowing plants especially the poppies. Thank you for sharing.
Definitely half an acre - it's two standard quarter-acre sections. The little magnolia tree is still there, it's tiny but hopefully will settle well.
Oh, nice. Excatly what i need with a misty 8C outside
Enjoy!
