Watching from the AZ Garden
Awww thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! Your comments always make me smile 👍😁❤️
I love all your color. I do miss that California sunshine. Love love love that tub.
Thank you SO MUCH my new friend. California has it's perks (like the weather) but it's sooo expensive to live here.
@@GardenHappy Oh yes. I have lived most of my life in Nothern California ( think Mountains and Lakes ❤ not Golden Gate).
Hello my friend. This is more than just a video, you put love and passion into it. Great job! New power for your channel. Good luck! 🌹👍
Awww you are SO SWEET! Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!
I miss the summer garden so much! Your garden is absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much! Me too!!! I cant wait for Spring!!!!
So beautiful garden... beautiful dahlia...big like my friend..stay connected always my friend 💞
Thank you SO MUCH Shahin I appreciate your kind words.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful watering container for the bees thank you so much I’ve never seen anyone do that before thank you for the great idea and the inspiration you are such a wonder to watch. I always get great ideas from you
Awww Grandma Sandy you are too sweet! If you are referring to that little saucer on my table that’s just a flower pot saucer filled with water. Yeah I’m told that the bees and butterflies need water in the summer that is not agitated. Always learning something new every day right!? Funny I was just thinking about you today and then I see your comment. Hope all is well give my love to Debbie.
Oh my! Thank you for another awesome video! I enjoyed it as always 💕
Thank you so much for watching!
I love your doors! I need lots of color too..😊
Awwww thank you so much!!! 🧡❤️💜💙💚 Liz
Liz it’s alway a delight to tour your beautiful garden. Your bubblegum petunia is gorgeous. The hard rain we had last Friday flattened 3 pots of my Bubblegums and knocked off the majority of their blooms. I fertilized them so it shouldn’t take long for them to bounce back. Happy gardening ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Jean and thank you! So sorry to hear about your Bubblegums. Lets look at the bright side and hope the rain did a natural pruning and they will come back even better and bushier!!! You are right Jean. . . that is such a good plant they will be faithful to your garden. Do you think we are going to have an early Fall? It just feels and smells like "fall" lately.
Since I posted this video my 2nd round of zinnias are already blooming!
You did a beautiful job on your August garden tour I loved how it looks in your home is just so beautiful and welcoming I love your beautiful card and just to sit down and have a chitchat with you is just so wonderful every month hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us love your garden
Thank you so much I am so flattered by your comment. From the queen of decorating her self your comments are always appreciated. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. And if you are ever in California near the Modesto area please let me know it would be an honor to meet you someday.
I really enjoyed your beautiful garden tour. Your hand painted doors are so festive! And the bathtub is so quaint- love it!
Awww thank you Neil I appreciate your kind words and for taking the time to watch. Thank you for your support have a beautiful day.
Awesome! That was fun seeing what has done well and maybe not so much. I love that your baskets hang from that rod. I need to think more vertical! Lol! By the way, never thought it would be challenging finding vases for my bottle tree. I thought my local thrift store would have some, but no luck. Guess I have to hit the dollar store!!!!
Hello there Jo Marie I appreciate you for watching my video. YES!!! Vases used on the bottle tree has been a game changer. It adds more options, shapes and colors. YAY I am so happy you like that too! That's crazy you are having a hard time finding them, especially at the thrift store. I hope you find some at the dollar store : )
Ahh, that was so sweet giving up the one fig to Daisy!! But of course that's what we do for our loved ones isn't it? Your garden is such a delight to behold. Everything looks so fresh and brilliant still. I can't get over how wonderful those painted doors are! Love it all, thanks so much for sharing! :)
Awww thank you so much Karen. I sure do appreciate your kind words and encouragement. It's people like you who make this whole RUclips experience so rewarding. Thank you again. . . . you will never know how much this comment meant to me : )
Love your garden... Our daughter is allergic to bees.. so we kinda keep them away.... although they are all over our shrub in front yard.
Hello there my friend and thank you for watching my video. Guess what???? I have good news for you. . . Mason bees DON'T STING!!! They don't have stingers. So if you ever see them in your garden you can relax a bit around tem. That must be so scary with your daughters allergy. Thanks for stopping by. . . have an amazing day!
Wow. The vincas and petunias are got. You have so much color everywhere. 👏👏 those doors add so much charm to your garden. The garden pieces bring out so much in your space. I love the fig tree. 😋😋. A big like. 👏👏👍👍👍💕💕💕
Thank you so much my sweet friend😊I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. How are things in your zone 7? Your tropical plants are so pretty : )
@@GardenHappy things are very hot and dry. Trying to keep the plants alive. Thanks for asking. 🥵🥵🥵
This video is absolutely awesome I enjoy watching every moment of it. I always admire the way how you always come with new fresh idea 💡 in your content, my friend I love your originality that you bring to the table into each uploaded video, I am glad the day I make my self apart of your channel by subscribing, because I would be missing out on alot, thank you my friend and keep up the good work stay safe ( big like 6❣️❣️❣️)
Wow. . . I don't know what to say. You have left me speechless! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words and encouragement. I am truly flattered you watch my videos and appreciate you taking the time to leave me this amazing comment : ) (((HUGS))) Liz
That's a great idea Liz - extending your tomato cages, who knew:). We've had a lot of storm damage and over 12 inches of rain but it also revived some of my herbs so tomorrow morning I'm harvesting three kinds of basil, lemon verbena, and lemon balm. The only veggie still producing is one pepper plant and the garlic chives, but at least my bananas survived and we harvested a ton of elderberries before the storm. Your dahlia is indeed a beauty. Gardens are always changing, it will be fun to see what you decide to do with those three beds. We had to take out a huge Java Plum tree, so I find myself with a lot less shade and less privacy. But, it will give me new gardening opportunities next spring. Zinnias and Dahlias are all done and so is a big part of the garden. We haven't even cleared out all of the storm damage yet - sigh, mostly because I can't deal with it any more. Anyway, thanks for another inspiring garden tour and a glimpse of the pup and fabulous rooster. Happy Gardening to you!
Hi Rose, thank you for taking the time to comment. I’m so sorry about all that storm damage you had but glad to know you are seeing it as an opportunity to create something new. I think it’s so awesome that you can grow bananas. Thank you for your compliment about my dahlia however, I’m learning that dahlias grow better in the shade in my garden zone nine. Next year I’ll be ready to grow them properly. This year, the sun just fried them and they did not do very well, except for the one picture that you probably saw on my video. That’s too bad You had to take out your plum tree and now you are without as much shade but so many things grow well in the sun so I guess it’s all a trade-off right? When is the Garden ever really finished right? Always changes all with something new to do and recover from. I always enjoy reading your messages. Thank you again Rose for taking the time to visit me. Happy gardening to you!!! ❤️👍🥰🌸🌼Liz
Good morning, Liz, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
Catching one of your previous videos. You did get a great 👍 tomato 🍅 harvest.
It's interesting to see what does well in your area that gets too wet in my area in August.
Take care, My Dear 💓
Good morning!Peggy I am flattered you watched my video. Yes I agree it's so much fun and interesting to see what grows in other peoples gardens and areas. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. have a beautiful day in your garden too!
@@GardenHappy I appreciate you and your support ❤️
Oh! so much colour in your garden and the Dahlia is gorgeous. I am eagerly awaiting the opening of my first Dahlia, l can see it's going to be yellow. I have an idea for one of vegetable beds. You could do a fairy garden, with plants that suit your new conditions. With dishes of water for the insects. Dish of sunflower seeds for the birds and a little fairy or fairies in the landscape. I know you are creative enough to make it work. Thank you for sharing your pretty and very colourful garden. Love from England.
Hello Penelope. . . YAY!!! I am sooo excited for you that you will have a dahlia soon. I waited so eager and patiently for mine as well. What a huge treat they are. Oh Penelope I just LOVE your sweet and creative idea for my new pollinator garden. What an awesome idea you have! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to share that with me.
Beautiful garden, good to see Ca. garden, probably one of the best states to grow in yet I rarely see any on RUclips... I'm up in far northern Ca and I grow lots of flowers also.
Awww thank you Barbara what a sweet thing to say!!! I appreciate you taking the tine to watch my video and comment! What part of Northern CA? I am near Modesto 👍❤️🥰
So many beautiful flowers and congratulations on your stunning Dahlias 🌸💕🌸
Thanks so much Jasmine 😊 How are you doing my friend?
@@GardenHappy Your welcome sweetheart 💕 it’s so hot 🥵 here and we’re just not used to it in the UK 😬
@@jasminelouisefarrall The weather is so weird all over the globe. We should be having our Indian (super hot) summer right now but it almost feels like fall. Oh well. . . have a beautiful day and thank you again for your comments.
Love your garden
Awwww thank you so much calittlegarden… so sweet of you to stop by and comment! ❤️🥰👍Liz
@@GardenHappy 🥰
I'm wondering if you still garden in the winter months in California? I'm in Connecticut and we garden from around May 15 to approx Oct 15 - in cold winter time I plan and maybe cultivate some seeds for the upcoming season - of course, I have indoor plants too! ❤️Love your garden and all the colors and accessories!
Hello Andrea thank you for watching my video! Yes I am able to garden almost all winter long. I grow broccoli all the way up until late Spring. The only thing I have a problem with is Coleus because they don't like temps below 45 degrees so I bring those in or let them die. California is a bad state for so many reasons (it's expensive) but gardening is GREAT! hahaha Thank you for your kind words. . . I appreciate your comments : )
Beautiful tour! Thank you. You grow so many of my favorite flowers. Wow, yours are so lush and happy. Vinca and lantana are some of my favorites because they withstand the high heat here (zone 9b, Tucson, AZ). Two other flowers my hummingbirds and bees love are the Mexican Petunia and Black Eyed Susan vine. Both can become a little pesky because they self seed and spread easily but are so beautiful and easy to remove if necessary. I'm in the same boat when it comes to zucchini, the heat causes them to drop their fruit. It starts to develop then fails. I'm pleasantly surprised with results with small melons: Sugar Baby watermelon and cantaloup. They are doing well this year. I'm trying a new Okra seed: Nkkruma Tenten from Baker Creek. They have a lovely pinkish blossom I'm told. Thanks again, loved the visit.
Hello my sweet friend Barbara . . I sincerely appreciate your kind words. Your support, encouragement and kind words always make me smile. Since you garden in Tucson you have your challenges I'm sure. But I agree with you about the black eyed susans. They are BEAUTIFUL!!! I have a question for you. . . .since you get lots of heat. . . have you ever grown Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine??? This is the first year I am growing mine and I love them!!! Please do a google search, it might interest you. And I would LOVE to send you seeds for next year if you want : ) That new Okra you are growing sounds beautiful. Please keep me posted how that works out for you. And thank you again Barbara for your kind words and support.
@@GardenHappy Thank you! I looked them up and love them... ordering seeds from Amazon right now. Can't wait... you know how that is. lol
@@BarbaraC02 The seeds are so cute. . . they look like little oreo cookies. You might be able to plant them as soon as you get them and get a decent vine before winter (since your climate is so hot) if not then you will be ready for next year : )
@@GardenHappy I still have a decent growing season as it doesn't get cold here until mid December or January. We can have pretty mild winters so many of my plants are perennial. I have a hunch these will work that way. Again, thanks for the suggestion. Oh, speaking of vines... have you tried the butterfly bean vine? It's has a deep blue flower which can be dried and used for tea. Mine lived thru 3 deep freezes last year and at 2 years is getting bigger more lush.
@@BarbaraC02 butterfly bean vine?. . . oh wow no I have never heard of that!!! I just did a google search and it's pretty! It reminds me of a sweet pea but a deep blue. Very cool thank you for letting me know about that one.
Oh Liz, where should i Start? Amazing😍😍 your dalia at the beginning then the petunia, the doors, oh the doors i love them 😊 everything is so special and unique, i really enjoyed every Minute of your tour 😊 i will Post Later on my August garden tour 😇 thank you so much for sharing your garden paradise with us! Its so welcoming and cozy! Big hug and greetings from austria 😇 🤗
Wow you are so sweet. . . and your comment left me speechless. Thank you SO MUCH for watching my video. . . I am truly flattered. And I appreciate all the support, love and encouragement you give me. Have a beautiful day my dear friend.🤩
@@GardenHappy you are so welcome, you have our fully support, thank you so much for sharing all your treasures with us 😊😇👏👏🤝🤝🤗🤗
Beautiful Dahlia. I planted a Dahlia for the first time ever this year and it just opened today! It's lovely. Your supertunia Vista bubble gum is a garden superstar ✨️
Yay I am so happy for you! Mine keeps blooming over and over again. This is my first time so I am excited! haha
I'm new member dear ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome!! I appreciate you for watching and supporting me. I am a NEW subscriber to your channel as well! WhoooHooo lets stay connected my new friend.
Your garden looks amazing! Is that the butterfly bush that got a hair cut? 🍅 Tomatoes look soo yummy! 🙋🏻♀️🪴🦋💐💕🙏
Hi Sarah. . . I didn't focus on my butterfly bush in this video. . . I think what you are referring to is the Lantana. Have a wonderful day : )
It's all so beautiful! 😍🥰😍
I love your bee house and keeping it covered to keep birds out. Wild bee houses are on my bucket list and I never would have thought about them being exposed to birds, if you hadn't mentioned it. Earlier this spring, I finally got a bat house put up. I haven't seen any bats, yet, but we had some around a few years back, so I'm hopeful! I've had three honey bee colonies collapse, so I didn't even try for them this spring, but we have plenty of wild bees that I want to keep around.
Do you have to do a lot of work on keeping your hummingbird feeders sanitized? I bought a little feeder that is supposed to be for your hand, but then a friend reminded me about needing to sanitize them, so I quit trying to attract them.
Love getting to see your critters!
Hello Denise that is so awesome that you cater to bats! Wow. . . how fun and interesting. I don't "sanitize" my feeders. . . but I do clean them out with soap and water every time I change their nectar. I just use a bottle brush to get the job done. I know some people boil the water and bottles. . . that's just too much work for me and in my opinion unnecessary. But to each his/her own. Cleaning them out with soapy water is easy and quick. Thank you for watching my video Denise. . . I appreciate your kind words and encouragement : )
Nice place! Do you grow Longevity Spinach? If not try it!
Thank you for stopping by my channel. No I do not. . . I have never heard of that! But now I am intrigued!
By the way. . . I LOVE your channel! God is definitely using you on social media. Keep up His good work!
Do you replace the soil in the pot every year? How do you maintain?
Hey there Happy Friday! No I do not replace soil in pots. Sometimes i will mix a little compost in with it but I never replace it all together! Its just too expensive! Alot of times i will mix a new bag on potting soil in with my native soil to stretch it out. A big bag on compost at the big box stores is only $5.00 where as a bag of potting soil is $18.00. So if I don’t have any of my own compost available I will buy a bag of compost and mix it in with the used soul in my pots just to freshen it up. Hope that helps! 👍🌸❤️ Liz
May I ask, how do you preserve your door from the elements???
Hey there! I tried brushing on urrathane but that only made the paint worse. After a year the urrathane shrunk and made the paint peel. Plus it turned my projects a dingy yellow. So I stopped using a special weather coat. I just rely on the paint I use. I figured if paint was OK to be on the outside of a house then why wouldn't that be ok on a door. So my answer to your question is. . .I don't use anything special other than the paint. Every few years or so I just repaint. Thank you for reaching out to me. - Liz
