Its weird…but I just had surgery and recovering well…but last night I actually dreamed you,lol. So when I saw your video I was pleasantly surprised. Your voice is so calming and I enjoyed your porch update.❤.
Elizabeth it looks beautiful good job as always when you put your outdoor rug away end of summer flip it over then roll it up so next year it lay flat hope that helps from canada
Greetings! Love the pop of greens and blues. It’s elegant and not busy. I live in zone 9b so I’ve been busy with my backyard since mid February b/c the start o May gets super hot🥵
Bought a lavendar plant and a rose bursh but will keep them inside until the temps are more level. We in Michigan get anxious to see flowers and have to be patient. Love watching your channel because of your being a Michigander also.
Hi Mary! So fun to know you’re also from Michigan! It’s been hard waiting these few days with how hot it’s been, but alas, cooler temps are yet again coming our way 😩
Hey! I was so excited to see your post pop up! I do love flowers & gardening, I've always had a flower filled porch and lots of flowers in the yard. We're looking to move, hopefully soon, so i don't know how much porch space I'll have and so I'm waiting right now. Of course all the perinials are blooming but i won't plant anything else sense we're moving. Your flower bed looks beautiful.. love the white ones you've added. The wreath is stunning!! And the Hydrangea pots are gorgeous also!❤ The porch is just dreamy, so so beautiful Sarah. I agree, i like the urns how you've done them. Last years porch was beautiful also.I love roses, my favorite flower is a yellow rose. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful porch & flower bed!😊
Hi Tammy! So happy to see your comment! That’s exiting that you’re moving, a fresh start! Yellow roses are also my favorite and I now have 5 rose bushes 🥰
I saw where someone was telling you about the knock out roses, which i was going to mention but had a brain cramp and couldn't remember the name😂 they really are amazing roses! When I lived in NC i had 4 huge ones at the end of my house, they were stunning and never had any issues with them from day 1!
I so enjoyed your porch and garden beds transformation! Those balsam-hill options 😍😍 enjoyed looking back as well to glean from 🌷 Enjoy your beautiful home and all ya’ll hard work! Hope y’all get some beautiful warm weather soon
A suggestion...when taking plants from the pot they came in, gently loosen the root ball. This will enable them to take hold better. Love your channel ❤ Be safe and GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜💜
Here in WI, our zone is 4B, so we are behind you. I know last yr. we waited to plant till the 1st wk. of May and we got a freeze warning. My husband and I madly ran around to all the new plants and covered them all w/whatever we could find. Our front porch is wooden, also, so has to be done every few yrs. Our porch railing has spindles and it was my idea to paint them all red, white & blue, looks great against our white farmhouse on our 80 acres. Well they have to be painted this yr. ,UGH, We have to scrape off all the old paint. It's a labor of love and I've never seen anyone else do it. I put 2 large buntings I display on the porch railing, looks so nice. Last Aug. I got a vintage ice cream table w/4 matching chairs. I scored for $100. So now I got cute placemats and plates to use, so can't wait. I also got a new Pioneer Woman outdoor rug. So bright & pretty, but, have to wait till we finish painting the porch. Have fun!
Hi Estelle, I’ve been there with scrambling to cover things late in the season! It’s so hard to wait though! Your porch sounds so pretty and cheerful! We need to repaint or refinish ours, we’ll see how ambitious we are this year. The list of outdoor projects keeps growing lol! Thanks for watching! Have a great evening 💚
Everything looks great beautiful flower beds makes the frontyard so amazing the porch rockets reminded me of my grandmothers porch we used to see who's the first to sit on it my suggestion for you the other section of the porch will look awesome with a 3pcs of white wicker set includes a coffee table with a flower plant .
In MN, we're in zone 3 and some zone 2, depending on the plants. I've lost so many plants over the Winters. I thought the Ever Summer hydrangeas would Winter, but not!! Rhubarb is strong plus lilies, asparagus, strawberries too. Nobody's gardening up here yet. We still have weeks to wait. I love the fake plants and flowers that look so real. Your front porch is so pretty!!
Beautiful porch I absolutely love it! Very inspiring. I love the scripture that you posted here also. You have definitely motivated me. I too live in Michigan and understand the weather issues and how hard it is to plan and set up things ahead of time. God bless you and your family and I pray that you have wonderful Spring and Summer season. Happy plants and flowers that flourish and grow beautifully.
Knock-Out roses are the best to get. They don't get diseases and are easy to go. I don't have much luck with different kinds. They get rust spots or black spots.
The front porch make over looks so pretty. So glad you showed the front flower bed. I like the additions you made plus you will not have to replace the plants but keep adding more if desired. I l am glad you will be focusing on garden projects this spring and summer. I look forward to seeing what you have planned.🌳🌷
Elizabeth you Did an Amazing Job in decorating your Front Porch ❤. I also use a big clear command hook to hang up my wreath. With a wreath holder the door never closed right. Enjoy the Rest of your Week ❤️ Take Care Hugs Always from California 🌞
Hi! Have you considered painting your porch ceiling a pretty sky blue? And/ or your porch floor a light sage or grey concrete color? Enjoy your videos! Blessings!!
Elizabeth…I have been trying to figure out why I’ve been inside your beautiful home and tonight as I sit here watching your latest visit with us it finally came to me-I think, that your home was once owned by the Foster family if I’m not mistaken. They had 2 children, a boy and a girl and I also think the father passed away at a young age. Does any of this sound at all familiar to you? I would have known this family through St Michaels church in Remus. I have been watching you for a good long while but I could not figure out why your home is so familiar to me but I might not be right even now and if not I will go on trying to figure this out every time you have a video. Sometimes as we age we just can’t put things together from our past BUT one thing I know for certain is I have been in your home. Anyway…no matter you do have a beautiful home and I love watching as you thrift and share all you are doing with your thrifting treasures. I do hope I’m not making you uncomfortable, that is not my intent. I’m just trying to connect the reason for all the familiarity I have to your home!!!:):):)
@@oldmaplehome I’m not sure what kind, 😬 it bloomed the first year I planted it, it was a beautiful blue but then last year no blooms. I hope so badly they bloom this year, my mom always had the most beautiful, we called them snowball bushes but they were hydrangeas, they were always gigantic
It’s spring here in the Uk,we managed to cu the front lawn and back lawns and had a general tidy up I’m looking for a white Hydrangea as my house is surrounded by pink ones but I have on large pot empty that’s is in the middle of two pink ones so hoping to plant up the white in the middle where my car port is.I planted a beautiful Acer three years ago and that looks lovely this week all out in bud…Nothing nicer than arranging our gardens for spring.x
Hi Donna! An Annabelle or incrediball would you give you white blooms. As well as a Bobo hydrangea, but the blooms turns pink in the fall. I’m so happy it’s spring! Have a great evening 🥰
@oldmaplehome We painted our porch ceilings Haint Blue and don't have paint on our floors. It's much easier to clean! I know removing the paint is a chore, but there's much less upkeep!
Its weird…but I just had surgery and recovering well…but last night I actually dreamed you,lol. So when I saw your video I was pleasantly surprised. Your voice is so calming and I enjoyed your porch update.❤.
Hi Maggie, I hope you're recovering well! I also hope it was a good dream 😆

Hello Marianne! Oh yes, you are in a hot climate! Totally different from what I’m used to! Stay cool and have a great evening!
The porch is beautiful ❤❤. Can't wait to see you and your momma starting the flea market season! Clare Amish flea market is in May, don't forget!
Thank you!! Hoping to make it to some, Clare for sure!

The porch looks great!I love the hydrangeas 👍
Thank you Karen! I've been enjoying having those no-maintenance plants on my porch this year so much!
Looks just beautiful!!! It’s hard not to be impatient with the early spring weather. I know your yard will be stunning this summer!
Beautiful!
Thank you!

A few sprigs of fake English ivy would look nice in wall planter along with the pansies, maybe?
Oh yes, I usually put English ivy in that planter, but none is out yet at our nurseries.
Use fake for now
Very good decoration.... such a one of the beautiful ☺️☺️☺️ decoration..... good hygiene 😊😊😊😊 inspiring 😉😉😊
Looks nice but I liked the pots black🫢🥰
My hydrangea didn’t bloom last summer, it did the year before but not last year! I hope it does this year everything looks beautiful ❤😊
Oh that’s so disappointing! What kind do you have? Did they get cut back too much possibly?
@@oldmaplehome I’m not sure what kind, 😬 it bloomed the first year I planted it, it was a beautiful blue but then last year no blooms. I hope so badly they bloom this year, my mom always had the most beautiful, we called them snowball bushes but they were hydrangeas, they were always gigantic
Lindíssima 😍
Do you know what zone Philadelphia is in? Just joined your chsnnel. Love it. Donna xoxo
What nursery did you find the great ball shrubs?
Looks really pretty! What were the name of the beautiful white evergreen flowers?
They are called candytufts.

The porch needs a fresh coat of paint. Oher than this, it looks good.
Yes, it does. We might remove the paint, not sure yet.

Aren’t you moving? Looks soo nice 😊
Oh no! No plans to ever move. Thank you!
@@oldmaplehomeGlad to hear that for sure…your home is a “ character” all on its own in your videos! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Pansys need a lot of sun to bloom. I can't really see them working to well under the porch.
They’re blooming well!
.💑
I dont get why all the decorations are all on the one side....why not spread them out to the whole porch?
Because I like the symmetry around the front door and I don’t think it would look food putting a bunch of stuff against the railings.
Ugghh fake plants noooo! Use self watering planters, they don’t leak
Even Garden Answer used faked plants on her porch, I think we’re on to something 😄
Love the porch, and the front garden!!! The real touch plants are a very pretty color!
Beautiful ❤
