- Who would think a lady bug could teach me a life lesson, but it happened right in our kitchen! In this episode I will be taking a little trip to the garden center to awaken my senses and purchase some herbs and flowers for Sugarwood's gardens. I also get a quite of bit more done in the gardens, a wee bit of decorating in the kitchen, and an update on my zombie plants.

I'm a teacher and one day the librarian was reading a book about a ladybug. One student (2nd grade) turned to another and said, "What if a ladybug is a boy? Then what is it called?" The other student, without missing a beat replied, "A gentleman bug." I'll never forget that. So cute. 🐞
While looking up if there ate make ladybugs, it did say some call them that. How cute 😊
Hi Linda, While watching this segment of you in the garden with Willow, I thought “how is she going to get all this done.” You accomplish so much but there are limits. Then, you announced that you are able to hire some help through us supporting you. I am so excited about this, to know we share a small part in doing something for you; you give us so much enjoyment, inspiration and peace. Thank you and Ben for sharing your lives with us!
I am wondering why you didn't drive the truck over to where you are going to work and unload the bags there.
Loved your comment, “Let’s get real” about the bears. You are so authentic and real. That’s why we all love you and keep coming back to your channel.
Happiness is sharing time with Linda. Thank you 😊
Hi Linda, You have the best looking laundry room that I have ever seen. Just a beautiful, unique design.
Love how you and your stepdaughter enjoyed time together at the nursery!
I love how you support local businesses on your channel, this nursery is an excellent recommendation!
❤
Completely thrilled to see how strong your shoulder is- I said out loud "Look at you!" When you were moving the soil bags, always the hardest "exercise" for me in the garden! Loved every facet of this video, esp the white bleeding hearts. Thank you so much!❤❤❤
Yes to cocktail and especially mocktails! Now to your sugar shack, board and batten the inside, I like that. OH I LOVE THAT GARDEN TOOL MAKEOVER!
I would love to see cocktails/mocktails to make using my fresh herbs! Hope you’re weekend is rejuvenating- our weather here in Tn is a bit bipolar ( like everywhere it seems this year) and easy to let it affect my mood if i let it. Determined to not let it 😊
❤
I’m up for cocktails and mocktails using herbs
Where there is life, there is hope, and this came true with your plants you are sprouting indoors! Your love in wanting them to thrive would have helped them too! I am a believer in playing music to my indoor plants, and talking to them, they like the vibration! Our King Charles lll talks to his plants I believe, so if it is good enough for him, it is good enough for us! Love your Willow dog. Love your voice, and your beautiful home and garden. Thank you for taking us with you. Love from Jilly and Madge the rescue greyhound, from Devon, England. xxx
As a gardener myself it's always nice to see someone so enthusiastic about gardening and growing nice things as you. I must add though that I think the reason why your strawberries didn't produce last year is because you have an imposter in your raised bed. As you can see the new strawberries you planted have three leaves, as opposed to the viney Impostors which contain 5 leaves per segment. Nature is like that. Because you had no strawberries last year, it might be best for you to empty out the entire frame and just refill it with what you know for sure are strawberries! Hope that helps!❤Thanks again for all you do and keep up the great work!
That helps a lot! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your gracious living style with us!
Those bleeding hearts are amazing!
Love your little helper Willow!! Love your home and beautiful property ❤
Mocktails would be great. My husband has developed heart issues and can no longer drink. I’d love to have some fun alternatives for him. Thanks so much for all your inspiration!
❤
I’m so glad you got some help. You have a lot of energy and a lot of determination. I love your videos. ❤
Thank you, Linda, for another beautiful, inspiring, and peaceful video. You have inspired me so much to try my hand at gardening and re-ignited my passion for crafting! Your channel is a welcome respite from all the crazy going on in the world right now. Wishing you continued peace and happiness, always. Looking forward to many more:) Love, from Michigan xoxo
Thank you so much Christine. I’m glad you enjoy watching my shenanigans.
Hello Linda: You need a folding cart on wheels which can be kept in your car so you can easily put the potting soil on it.
So much easier to wheel it. Remember your shoulder!!
Enjoyed this video immensely. It’s good you’ll be able to get some help in the garden. Love seeing Willow enjoy herself out in the fresh air. I think she has claimed the window seat as hers. 😊
It was so good to hear that you are getting help with all your gardening. I simply love those sconces over your fireplace. They just belong there. 😊
Thank you Karen! It was hard for me to let go, but I know it’s the best thing to do for the garden and for my body 🥴. I wish I could remember where I found those sconces but one of my favorite thrift store fines for sure!
I totally believe in the soul's journey. Beautiful work as usual.
Linda, subscribing to your channel was one of the best things I did! You introduced me to a whole new way of living. Your style, charm and enduring sense of calm and peace makes me feel like you are more of a friend not just a YT channel. I could watch and listen to your videos for hrs. I’ve been binge watching all the ones I’ve missed since I’m new to your channel! I absolutely love your new home at Sugarwood! If I ever came over for a cup of coffee or tea I’d never leave! Thank you so much for sharing your home , your ideas and your friendship! I look forward to many more videos!
Thank you for your kind words Debbie! I'm glad you're enjoying my channel!
I want to see cocktails.....I want to see what flowers are going into your moon garden ......I want to see Willow ...I want to see whatever you're sharing.......I want to see EVERYTHING!!
Linda, I recently retired. I am now throughly enjoying my home even more than I could have imagined. I have the luxury of time to garden, craft,cook or just sit back and enjoy. This season of my life is so peaceful,relaxed and entirely joy filled.
I love hearing that Cheryl!
Loved today’s video , my favorite is watching you in your garden. Loved the ladybug & yes as the old saying goes stop & smell the roses , well lets all stop & watch the ladybug! Lol , enjoyed that sooo calming . I And glad your able to hire someone to help in your gardens
Linda so happy you hired helpers to help you create a “more” beautiful garden💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Hi Linda😃❤️ Yes, please make some cocktails❤️ Thank you for sharing your life with us😃 You are a very soothing and calm person❤️❤️❤️
Sounds good! Thank you for watching
☝🏼Cocktails Please!
Thank you Linda!! 💖
I’m so loving your videos. And to keep this short it’s hard to find words to tell you how inspiring you are. I love the way you have harnessed your ADHD in such a positive and beneficial way! Thanks so much for sharing your home your gardens and your inspiration!
Thank you Sue. That is very sweet of you to say. Hugs!
So glad you are getting help. You have a lot going on sister!
Yes, bring on the cocktail & mocktails 🎉😁
Loved the Lady bug parable!!! Thanks gardens are looking great!!
Such inspiration, Linda. Glad that you will have some help with all of the work ahead. By late Spring, early Summer, your property will look so pretty. Willow is a hoot to watch.
We love you Linda!
And await every entry in the Sugarwood journal. All the best to you, Ben and Willow!
Awwww thank you!
Lady bugs are known as "Lady Birds" in Great Britian !
I would love to see the drink recipes. Sending you lots of hugs prayers and kindness 👍🏼💗🙏🏼🍃🪴🌿👒💐🦋🌷🌸 ps I just love the way Willow watches out for you. So sweet. Don’t we just love our fur babies…🐩
I need a nursery like that one where I live! Visiting sort of place always restores my spirit. When I was a teenager my aunt and I would go visit a wonderful nursery in my hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas on Sunday afternoons. It was fun seeing Willow enjoying her yard. You were both in your happy spots! I loved the 🐞saga. I always have loved watching bugs. Btw, I would’ve had a hard time not touching the turtles and frogs, too! lol
I was so tempted to touch them! 😁
Mushroom compost, black dirt, and sand. Mix it around in the box, delicious veggies. Farmers almanac for your area has wonderful partner plants, to help eachother along.
Thank you!
Those bleeding hearts are beautiful. I love the white.
YES Cocktails!!!
Do I sound like a lush? 😂
As for the gaps in your shed walls...how about battens on the outside? "Board and batten"? It would look like its always been, after its painted.
I love my Gorilla cart. You might cut your workload down. Love all you share with us!! Thank you!!
I'm so glad I came across your You Tube channel! I too, live in New Hampshire and have even visited that same garden center! I could spend a fortune in there! Your home is beautiful, and I'm so impressed with the way you make carrying those bags of mulch and dirt around look so easy, LOL Do you ever visit Pickity Place in Mason for lunch and to enjoy their gardens? It's my favorite day trip. To me, there is nothing like living in NH! Going to sit down under a quilt and binge watch your channel now. 🙂
I kept thinking - get a wheelbarrow and make one trip! Lol!!
It was right there. I kept walking by it. 🙃
Linda, you make my soul happy.
That makes me happy! Thank you for letting me know.
Thank you for all your videos you show us. I’ve been a subscriber for years it’s a favorite channel 😘❤️🐞 ❤️🐞❤️🐞
Thank you I appreciate your watching!
Maybe the "batten boards" on the outside of the sugar shack would help solve your water penetration issue. Plus upgrade the exterior a bit before you paint it. Always appreciate new ways to enjoy libations especially with the upcoming summer season here in Texas.
I’m liking that idea!
Hey do you realize you. Don’t huff and puff walking across the yard. Good for you I’m a lot older then you and I’ve slowed down so much You’re such a joy to visit with.
I enjoyed this video. I did find on Google that there ate male Ladybugs, they are actually smaller than female ones.
You are inspiring me to go buy some more mint! Your kitchen is looking so lovely, adding the fireplace and windows was truly brilliant.
Thank you Julie!
I love your videos! Willow your dog is precious.
While you're looking for some tables for the porch, maybe a few more cloches too! I love how the bleeding hearts thrived and bloomed. And I had to laugh, (sorry) when you were bringing the bags from your car to the flower beds. I thought, doesn't she own a cart or wagon and wouldn't that have been easier? Loved seeing Willow enjoying a good rolling in the grass and enjoying a Spring day. Loved your quote at the end of your video too. Happy Spring and Happy Gardening! 🌱🌷🌱
HI! Yes, I have a cart, wheel barrow, a gator, and a hubby. I carry, lift, and walk for a workout. ;-)
Willow looks out the window and he is thinking of his fun time at all the neighbors places. I can’t wait so see the garden work finished. Thanks for a great video wish you did more each week.
Good Morning, Linda! Enjoyed your video today. So glad you can get some help! With a property that large you need it!!❤
❤ from GA!
Hi Judith. Thank you!
Well, you accomplished a lot. Good job.
I was so glad to see you wearing a barn coat. While cleaning out my closet last week I almost sent mine to a donation center thinking I had owned it for so long and it was probably out of style. After seeing you wearing one exactly like mine I guess I will keep it !
I love wearing mine! It cleans up so well too.
As a possible fix for the gaps in the barn siding, could you simply add some vertical battens? What a beautiful old structure.
I'm a Connecticuter. Looking forward to your video visit of my home State! When I saw you carrying each load of soil/compost and the cart near your car, I assumed that that this was part of a bodybuilding weight workout!
Your area is beautiful! Yes, I was working out. :-)
☀️I liked your idea. My mom painted the handles of everything red 😅
Just a suggestion if you haven't already filled in the critter access is to put steel wool at the access point, they hate the stuff.
So glad u r getting outside help. For the first two years after my husband died, I thought I could keep up both inside and outside. WRONG. I FINALLY GOT SOME HELP BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. I have my husbands golf cart with a dump cart and I use it all the time to lug heavy bags. I think u need one. Watch your shoulders. Take care
Linda, my hope is someday you will be able to find a craftsman who can reproduce those gorgeous bar stools!
Wouldn't that be amazing! I have searched with the same hopes and no luck.
I can't wait to see how you decorate the red shed. Add a mini frig & microwave so you can hang out if you get tired while working.🌷🌻⚘️🪻🌹
I like your thinking lol
I would love to see both cocktails/mocktails. 😊
Your videos are hands down my favorite! Thank you for the beauty you share with us! 💐
Thank you so much Julie!
You work so hard
I love everything you do
Yay glad we could help you out lol
You give us all much joy
Your inspiration is wonderful
Such kind words, thank you so much Joann
Make sure it’s a ladybug and not an Asian beetle. I couldn’t get a good look. AB have an M behind their head.
The garden store looked so charming.
😊the yellow/orange “ladybugs” are not really ladybugs. They are beetles camouflaging as ladybugs. They were brought to our country through releases in the south to try and help with infestations and later found in cargo shipments from other countries. They are not the sweet, gentle ladybugs we know.😀
I’m doing more research on that now. Thanks for sharing the info.
Thank you for all that you share. I enjoy your videos and you inspire me. I would thoroughly enjoy seeing your cocktails and cocktails.
Yes, please to cocktail/mocktail recipes!
Thank you so much for sharing this video!
I always look forward to them!
Happy Sunday!
❤
Love your choice of music Linda. :) You had a productive day. I didn't realize bears were also in your area. Yikes!
Thank you Candy! Yes, to bears, and all other kinds of country mountain animals 😳
It’s funny that you just said that you really don’t need the gym. I was just thinking the same thing. 😂
You can do t! I have been learing how to garden in IL 5b, the last few years, after spending all my life in Southern California. I have found the espoma organic amendments, compost, and mulch are really improving our property.
I love hearing that thank you!
Definitely mock-tails!!!! I have alot of those mints. Looking for strawberry mint this year!
I do enjoy your videos. You have a beautiful home .
First time I’ve seen the laundry area looks great
Thank you!
Our ladybugs have all but disappeared. Asian Beetles are like a plague! They bite and leave orange trails on windows and outdoor laundry. It was a sad day when they were brought here.🙁
Yes for the cocktails!! ❤
Love you videos, thank you ♥️
I look forward to your channel. Seeing the flowers makes me relax.😊
Thank you for sharing that amazing nursery. Love all of the different herbs. 🙏❤️🌱
Thank You again for a great mental health break! You are so clever and fun!
Ah, this why we buy those L.L. Bean barn coats! We can just throw them in the wash! When I lived in the Hudson River Valley, many years ago, I used to take an annual late winter trip to a large greenhouse. It always served it's purpose - to remind me that winter wouldn't last forever, and give me a much needed dose of green. Looks like your porch is the perfect place for that!
Thankyouforsharing your life ! Love your videos.
I love your videos and can’t wait to see the garden develop.
I enjoy,how you are working in different directions,and they all come together well,
You definitely get your exercise for the day!! 🥰
Yes…finding things that bring our soul joy! Lovely video, thank you Linda ❤ 🐞
Love your show❤
I always thought you had so much land and gardens to deal with! I am so happy that watching something I enjoy so much is helping you!
Morning Linda😊
What a lovely thing to do with your daughter! Also-I LOVE the shop the two of you visited, SO much to see! If you think your soil could use more amending using Biotone from Espoma might help. For gardening info I would suggest following Garden Answer 😊! There is a WEALTH of information about all aspects of gardening that isn’t just specific to Ontario Oregon. I have been watching the channel for nearly 5 years now, I often go back and watch old videos to remind myself of things I might have forgotten. I have NEVER had a better experience gardening prior to watching GA. Give it a try, I think you would enjoy it! PS Have you considered using mulch that is totally ground or even compost for mulch 🤔!
I’ve had a couple people mention the bio town to meet here recently and I believe I also heard it on garden answer. I learn so much watching that show.
Dear Linda Ladybug .... thanks , that was great inspiration .... 🐞!
Glad you got some help 😊 it’s a lot
Love your videos. Always full of knowledge on many things my friend. Thanks
Beautiful!! Omg Willow!😍
Job well done. Love
Doesn’t getting out in the garden just make you live springtime!!! Love the video!!!
Gardening is one of my therapies for sure!
Enjoyed your video it was so peaceful.
