    Robbie don’t worry about things not looking that great, or a planting that failed etc…. You are keeping it real for us novice gardeners that feel defeated when something in our garden doesn’t go as planned. Too many garden You Tubers have the perfect garden, perfect landscape, etc. which many of us can’t relate to and can’t afford. So I for one am ok with seeing things that don’t look so great in your garden. 🌹🌻

    @borkahouston9234 7 месяцев назад

    Hi Robbie, love the gravel path and the idea of doing the same on the espalier side. I can see that you’re a bit overwhelmed with everything you want to do because it’s daunting to look at everything at once. I’ve always found that if I break up my garden by area and make a list of everything I want and then need to do in that area, it feels more manageable. I see you’re doing that as well and can see your vision of streamlining your style with features like the green window boxes, gravel pathways and metal edging. It will be awesome! Cheers from Kelowna, BC, Canada. ❤

  • @carolmacdonald8437
    @carolmacdonald8437 7 месяцев назад

    The pathway looks great! Fabulous improvement for so many reasons.
    As for the other side, I think it would look nice to end the gravel at the end of the espalier, but on the other end, the dogs will keep destroying the grass, so you might want to spread gravel on their track, maybe even remove that narrow concrete walkway, too. In other words, make a gravel path where they've made a muddy one. Pick your battles, you know?
    In any case, I'm enjoying the improvements and looking forward to seeing the tulips in full bloom.😊

    About the side where the espalier is, I would just dig up the tulips in large clumps and put them in the pot that you just emptied. They can sit side-by-side. That would be beautiful. Then you could dig up the grass that is there and do what you will with it and remove the rest of that flower bed. That way you can get the gravel put in place.

    Robbie,
    Here's a thought. You have several planting areas but not tied in together. Tie them all in together including that bear oatch of grass. Make one planting space. It will give you more planting area and it will tie everything together. Not sure im explaining it very well. Love that edging.

  • @dragonweengs4010
    @dragonweengs4010 7 месяцев назад

    I liked your idea to end the gravel where you end the espalier and making the walkway wider. Reworking the yard as you use it instead of the other way around, and not growing grass where the dogs walk.

    Hi Robbie, been watching your videos for awhile now, and yes I subscribed immediately! Congrats on your gravel work, well done. Dogs dogs dogs, I know🥴. For such a small compact yard, would you consider making a long gated dog run along the whole side of your fence? Some people make beautiful dog-runs and they can watch you in the garden all they want. I had one at previous home along the garage, measurements were 6’ by 20’, plenty big enough and 2 dog houses in it, plus 1/4 of it was roofed. The dogs loved it. They stayed in there all the time, ran around in there. Or chain them, until you get the chance to reseed the lawn they have already wrecked. Mud and dogs are enemies to a clean space, in and out of the home. Good luck.

  • @callison2138
    @callison2138 7 месяцев назад +1

    The wider path was a good call, it looks so much more inviting. Dogs are really good about making paths to all points in the yard. I like “natural” pathways and dogs through the years have given me paths through my large backyard. All I did was refine it a little, placing a “human material” to walk on and not be in the mud. No worries, the dogs love it and use it. And we amble down the pathways completing the whole yard. So go with the flow of the pack and gravel in their natural paths. PS. Just enjoy the dogs while they are with you and wanting to be with you.

  • @gardeninggrandma5247
    @gardeninggrandma5247 7 месяцев назад +2

    It looks fabulous!!! A suggestion for you Robbie -- at 13:34 where the old wagon is, I would suggest having your metal edging starting from that point, at the edge of your deck that is under the seating area and have it swoop in a gentle curve all the way to the fence (where the other side yard is where the 3 stones are) and fill that all in with the pea gravel you are using. That would include removing the concrete that you have going to your little landing as you come out of your house. I know that sounds like a lot, but maybe that solves a lot of problems with your dogs and is something you can do in small increments over the Spring before it gets too hot, or in the Fall in Phase II. Just a thought. I think it would add a lot of character to your back yard and make the entire yard more cohesive. Whatever you decide, Robbie, I'm sure it will be great!

    Hi Robbie! Looks great! Good job! Are you going to add lighting? I found some at Sam's Club, it was solar lighting kit. It comes with six little round lighting disk that stick straight into the ground. They work really well and are super easy to install. I was skeptical at first, but they create a soft glow and I love seeing the plants light up at night. I honestly wish I would of got them a lot earlier. Keep up the good work in the garden, I can't wait to see the next update! Have a great day!

  • @JoyfulJerseyGardening
    @JoyfulJerseyGardening 7 месяцев назад

    I agree, I like the idea of having the gravel area/walkway line up with the espalier (which looks amazing by the way). Maybe the edging could then curve and just continue down the flower bed, so it’s not choppy looking. You could have something, a large pot or statue or birdbath, set up on a base that then butts up to the gravel and keeps it in place. On the other side of the base, start the dirt for your flower bed. Whatever you do will look amazing. Love the gravel going in and I’m sure you’ll appreciate less mud.

    Wow, everything is looking sooo amazing Robbie! I like the idea of squaring off the new gravel at the end of the espalier (which is looking unbelievably healthy and full BTW) and just removing the one bunch of grass after your tulips are done. If the dogs keep going diagonally across the grass from the house to the gazebo it might be really difficult to change their behaviour....would curving that part of the gravel path to include where they want to take a shortcut work? Or are you aiming for straight lines, aka your new proposal for the back garden you showed us a few months ago?

    The edging is fantastic! And love the color and size of the gravel. Making a wider path was so much better. Everything just looks more spacious and eye catching. Great job!
