Thank you Jasmine! I hope you have a beautiful day in your garden too thanks for stopping by! ❤️🥰👍Liz
Beautiful !!!❤😍❤
Awww Thank you Kim! 😊 Liz
Your garden is so lush and beautiful. 😍
I live in zone 9b also, and your garden is an inspiration. We plant mostly succulents and cacti, and drought tolerant plants outside, because water conservation is important to us. However I think we should plant more flowers to brighten up the garden a bit .
Thank you so much for a marvelous garden tour. God bless you and your loved ones.
Greetings from the Bay area 🌸🌹😍
Hello there, TramAiKhanh and thank you for taking the time to comment. I’ve lived in the Bay Area all my life now I live out in the central valley. So I guess you could say we are neighbors. I agree that cactus and succulents are great for conserving water but like you said it’s nice to pop in a few flowers here and there just to give it some balance. I’m glad you enjoyed my videos. I appreciate you taking the time to visit me. 👍❤️🥰Liz
Everything look so beautiful
Thank you so much Wanda! 👍🥰❤️Liz
Hi Liz. Everything is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ❤ 🎉 from Andrea 😊

Beautiful!❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Patricia🥰👍❤️Liz
Hi Liz. Your garden survived the heat beautifully! So many of my plants didn’t survive the heat. I have just given up,but seeing your garden I feel encouraged to keep trying. I am leaning toward more annuals also. Thanks so much for sharing ❤
Ginger a lot of my plants suffered in the heat wave as well so don’t feel bad. It was horrible this year however I’m going to be prepared for next year. What I mean by that is I ripped out all the succulents in my succulent barrel because they got completely fried and destroyed. I replaced them with agaves and Heat loving drought resistant plants. So I’m learning how to Garden for these heat waves that we unfortunately will probably experience every year. I think the key was water water water. I felt like I was a slave to my garden this year watering every single day, sometimes twice a day. Haha but don’t feel discouraged. We all suffered and it’s definitely a learning experience for us all. It just makes us better gardeners and it gives us a chance to try something new.❤️👍🥰Liz
What a beautiful garden. I’m in zone 9b as well, Tracy, CA! Your voice is so soothing and sweet.
Well, hello there Sandie and thank you for taking the time to comment. Wow, you are in Tracy. We are practically neighbors. I am out here in Oakdale. How fun is that. I appreciate your kind words and taking the time to visit me. 🥰❤️👍Liz
@@GardenHappy I work in Manteca & my coworker lives in Oakdale. How cool is that! I’m so ready for it to be a little cooler. I did a bunch of clean up in my garden this weekend, but it would be nice to be outside longer. I decorated for fall though, so ready for that fall weather!
Hey Sandie Is it just me or is it getting hotter and hotter every year? I used to love it when I was younger but now I am so ready for it to be over and done with. Hahaha if I win the lottery, I’m gonna sell my house and buy a home with acreage up in the mountains. do you ever attend any of the Garden shows? I know Modesto has their Garden show in spring and then Oakdale has a garden show in October. There are a lot of fun you get to peek into other peoples backyards. Nice chatting with you. 👍❤️🥰Liz
Awesome and amazing
Thank you so much TheBest8!
Thank you so much 😀
Looks great!
Thank ypu so much Freyartz! ❤️🥰👍Liz
I too live and garden in Oakdale! Gorgeous garden!
Well hello there neighbor how fun!!! whenever I learn of gardeners in my area, it always makes me smile. There is another RUclipsr who lives about a block away from me and there is one up in the mountains of Arnold, who also has a RUclips channel. I am a courtesy clerk at Raleys. Do you ever shop there? That would be so funny, if you have ever ran into each other and didn’t even realize. thank you for taking the time to visit me Michelle I enjoyed reading your comment. ❤️👍🥰Liz
I'm Liz too! And also in zone 9b. I sure enjoy looking at your pretty garden. My poor yard has struggled more than I can fix. The heat has ruined my yard this year. I'm ready to just give up and pull everything out and prune the rest. I am now researching drip irrigation for next year. I am burnt out on hand watering. To many hours spent watering daily. I am enjoying seeing utube videos of gardens that survived the heat,
Hey there Liz it’s so nice to meet you. Oh my goodness I totally feel your pain and understand your struggle. I completely am burnt out right now from hand watering. This heat wave was crazy right? Thinking about next year I too am considering drip irrigation. At least for part of the garden anyway. I ripped out a lot of my things as well and replaced them with drought resistant plants like agave, cacti, and things like that so next year when things heat up these new plants will live through it. Summer garden burnout is real and very normal so just know that we are approaching fall and will have a chance to catch our breath very soon. Thank you for taking the time to visit me. I appreciate your comment. 👍🥰❤️Liz
Your garden is looking so bright, pretty & colourful Liz. You’re entering the fall and here in Australia we’re entering our Spring. So looking forward to the warmer weather. It’s been wet, cold, frosty & cloudy this winter. Hardly any sun! I think it must be global cooling not global warming. At least in my part of the world anyways. Weather is always changing and I’m pleased to say I have hope that one day everything will be perfect. 😊
Hi Virginia, that is so funny, global cooling. Well, one thing is for sure. Everything will be perfect one day. One day very soon I’m thinking. So nice to hear from you. I appreciate you taking the time to visit me. 🙏😇❤️👍🥰Liz
@@GardenHappy ❤️🤗
Good Morning my beautiful sweet Liz, things are still looking pretty good and I can't wait to see how they enjoy the cooler weather ❤ were getting ready for another heat wave here after being so cool so hopefully I'll survive it like the flowérs lol I'm getting ready to get Mums in few weeks for my church ❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning Mike and thank you for your nice comment. You are so right the chrysanthemums are getting ready to explode this time of year. I have one in my backyard as well. Can’t wait to see it bloom. I don’t think the heat wave is going to be as intense as the last one so I think we will both survive. Have a beautiful day at church, and thank you again for taking the time to visit me! 🥰👍❤️Liz
@@GardenHappy always so sweet to hear from you Liz :) I may give it a try wth planting those next year and I'll need your pointers lol yeah for last week of August very hot and muggy more like normal lol also thought about going to a state fair not too far away bears staying at home lol
Good morning Mike I hope you have fun at the state fair. Those are always lots of fun! 👍🥰❤️Liz
@@GardenHappy I'll probably go end of this week supposed to be cooler then lol
@@GardenHappy have a awesome day my lovely Liz
Everything looks beautiful. I ordered some purple Queen Ann's lace, red hot poker, and purple mallow seeds for next year.😊 we always need annuals for color. I learned how to collect seeds from my impatients this year too! Yes my zinnias always flop. I stopped growing them because they always get that white mold on them, but they are very pretty.
Hi Jenn thank you for taking the time to comment. While I am sorry that yourZinia‘s flopped I am happy to know I’m not the only one. Someone told me that because they don’t get enough sun. They are always reaching for sunlight, maybe that is why they flop? I have no idea, but this was very discouraging for me this year and I can see why you decided not to grow them. Because you are also right, they get powdery mildew. Uuuggg always a struggling in the garden, right? Hahaha I appreciate you taking the time to visit me and hope you have an amazing day.🥰❤️👍Liz
Ευτυχώς που το καυτό φετινό καλοκαίρι του βόρειου ημισφαιρίου φεύγει και έρχεται το φθινόπωρο να ξεκουράσει εμάς και τα φυτά!!!🥵🥵🥵 Ο κήπος σου είναι όπως πάντα υπέροχος, πολύχρωμος και δροσίζει τα μάτια και την ψυχή μας!🌷🌿🌼🌿🌹🌿🌻🌿 Σου στέλνω την αγάπη μου από την άλλη πλευρά του ημισφαιρίου!!!💖💖💖💖
Oh my goodness Panagiotaskoylida that is such good news. My body and my garden is so happy for this cooler weather. It seems like the older I get the harder this heat becomes. Someday I hope to sell my house and move up to the mountains where it’s a little bit cooler. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.❤️🥰👍Liz
Τα βουνά είναι η καλύτερη λύση στη ζέστη!⛰️🏔️ Εύχομαι, αν το θέλεις πολύ, να το πραγματοποιήσεις!!!🙏💕
Now that the low AZ desert zone 9b temps are around 105 to 107 instead of 111 and above I see my plants getting greener and healthier! Your plants and flowers are looking so beautiful. Everything seems to be so much more full . They are just gorgeous! I would LOVE to have such a lush and entertaining garden as yours. I love how colorful it is!!!
Thank you so much, June. This year Vinka was a good performer for me. However, I admit I had to water it once or twice a day. But yes, I agree this cooler weather is definitely making me and my garden so much happier. I’m glad it cooled down for you as well. 👍👍👍Liz
❤holy cow! What a colorful garden you have.i love it.😊❤
Thank you so much Faye!!!! ❤️👍🥰🌼🌸
👋🏼 I know it’s not part of the video LOL but can we get a closer look at your birdhouses and sunflower door? Love it!
Hello there spicytitas4795, you are so sweet. Yes, of course I would be happy to give a close-up next time. I am flattered you want to see more of my door and birdhouses. It will be my pleasure. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit me.. ❤️👍🥰Liz
The passion flower is a beauty and a beast of lush green vines It's evergreen and it should keep its leaves unless you get frost. Does that happen in zone 9b? I know I get frost in 8b.
The Autumn Joy is fun succulent, after the spectabile is finished blooming you can cut the stem and propagate the cuttings and it will grow. Sedum will handle a freeze with snow.
They look like little cabbages when they pop out in the spring, They are a true garden warrior.
I lost all my hens and chickens and stone crop succulents in the heat wave as well. The only ones that survived were my Eve's needle they're pretty hardy and you can also cut and propagate the stems.
So now I'm doing the same with Easter lily cacti and small golden barrels and the variegated and an artichoke agave.
Oh you are right on that one Liz they are spend-y. little plants.
Your garden is always dazzling it's absolutely gorgeous with all blazing brilliant flora.
If you have a moment look up Dichondra (silver falls) it's very similar to creeping jenny. Drought tolerant, and a pollinator magnet. You may have fun planting the seeds it has both creeping and draping habits.
Happy gardening and be sure to have a blessed day.
Hello there, Kelly and thank you for taking the time to comment. It sounds like we had a lot in common this year in the garden. While I am sorry your hens and chicks didn’t make it through the heat wave…It makes me happy to know that you had the same experience as me so I guess we are both on the right track with the agave and Hardy succulents. Yes I have heard of those silver falls, I think they are absolutely beautiful. I have one in my patio growing right now still deciding where to put it in the garden, or maybe I will just leave it in the pot. We will see. I’m glad to know about the passion flower staying green. We don’t get much of a freeze maybe down to 35° so I guess there’s hope for the passion flower vine after all. I really appreciate you taking the time to visit me. Your comments are always very educating And encouraging so I thanks you again! 👍❤️🥰Liz
Hi, Liz. I am envious of your sweet potato vine. Mine was going gang-busters and then the grasshoppers found it. Now the gorgeous leaves have holes all over. At the plant center, they suggested spraying it the mint water. I'm going to give that a try. 🤞🤞🤞
Hello Majella Maas… oh no I am so sorry the grasshoppers ate your potato vine. What a disappointment that must have been. Do you think if you grow them in pots, off the ground that would help? Just a suggestion and an idea. Thankfully, I don’t have a lot of grasshoppers in my garden, maybe a couple here and there. I like your idea about using the mint spray. I’m curious to know if that works. Keep me posted and thank you for taking the time to visit me. ❤️👍🥰Liz
I feel serenity in your beyond lovely spot........it is exquisite! Thank you for the tour, I enjoyed it! :)
Awwww Thank you so much Cindy. 😘I’m flattered You felt peace and joy from my garden. I appreciate you taking the time to visit me.🥰👍❤️Liz
Your garden looks so nice and clean. We haven’t seen your roommate lately. He is the one that loved the chickens. I hope he is still helping you. He seems like a nice guy.❤❤❤
Hello there jandolph7509 Thank you for taking the time to visit me. Yes I still have my roommate John he is so awesome. That is so so sweet of you to ask about him. We have coffee and tea every morning in our garden together he’s been such a big help to me so sweet of you to ask about him. And thanks again for stopping by. ❤️👍🥰Liz
So glad the temperature has gone down. You have so much color and the arbors look amazing. Your petunias and hanging baskets still look so healthy. I do like the layout of your garden and the tub. Have a great weekend. 👍👍👏👏👏👏
Awwww thank you so much. That is such a nice compliment. I appreciate you taking the time to visit me. I am so glad the temperatures have gone down as well and I think our gardens are much happier now too. 😀😀😀Liz
You have a beautiful garden.
I have tons of those agave in my garden. I could share some if you are near me.
Hey there Ramona, that is very nice of you to want to share. I am definitely liking the agave for sure. I take confidence in knowing that next year’s heatwave won’t kill them!!! ❤️🥰👍 Liz
So gorgeous! I love the Dalia and turquiose plant hanger.The composition looks like a card. Where did you score the hanger?
Awwww you are extremely kind and encouraging 6boysareus. So SWEET of you! I appreciate you taking the time to visit me and hope you have a beautiful day in your garden too. ❤️👍🥰 Liz
When you water do you add enough water to come out of the bottom of the pots? Your concrete always looks so clean without the water stains I get when I water!
Hi June, that is a very good question. Normally when I water, I just add enough water to moisten in the plants but not come out of the pots. However, in the summertime, yes I do drench them and water comes out of the pots. You are right that is interesting. Why my concrete does not get more stained. That is a very good question. I don’t know how to answer that. Water always comes out of my vintage bathtubs yet there’s not a bunch of horrible stains. Maybe it’s because of the organic fertilizer I’m using. I use Espoma Tone organic fertilizer. Maybe it’s less harsh. 👍❤️🥰Liz
Your bougainvillea looks very healthy. What do you fertilize it with! Great garden!
Hey there Redeleiser thank you for the compliment. The only fertilizer I use is by Espoma. . . its called "Rose Tone" (but made for all flowers) I learned about this awesome product from Laura at Garden Answer. . . it's the absolute BEST in my opinion and a garden game changer!!! Here is a link for your convenience so you can see.

New subscriber to your channel❤please do a video on water irrigation and fertilizing
Hello there Sam I appreciate your kind words and support. I will talk about irrigation and fertilizing in my next question and answer video. But just a quick answer now I just use a garden hose to water. I don’t have any fancy drip irrigation set up. But I can still show my method for watering by hand, which makes it efficient for me. And I will also show the organic fertilizer I use. thank you for reaching out. Hope you have an amazing day.👍🥰❤️Liz
@@GardenHappy thank you so much for the reply. I am also in Northern California but my plants roast especially the one in pots so it’s amazing to see how yours is thriving 😍. Mine also get full day sun and my soil this year is drying out to quick even though I have added compost. It’s very hydrophobic ☹️
I definitely feel your pain. So many of my plants roasted in this heat wave as well. I noticed that plants in pots do require more water because they dry out quicker. But because my pots are filled with excellent soil, they also did better than my plants in the ground (when watered frequently of course) I just had to water my potted plants once a day faithfully in this heat and they definitely performed well for me. Sometimes I think hand watering is better because you can assess each plant individually. Trial and error. We are always learning something new in the garden right! Nice chatting with you! ❤️👍🥰Liz
@@GardenHappy what soil do you use? Perhaps I need to change that😍
I use miracle grow potting mix, it’s the yellow bag. I was watching another RUclipsr called epic gardening and they did a test of 12 different soils and the miracle potting mix came out to be number one. And I was already using that anyway so it just confirmed my choice.
How do you keep the floor so clean from the water stain?
That is a very good question. I’ve never had a problem with water stains on the floor. Maybe I do not overwater so there isn’t a lot of excess water coming out. thank you for taking the time to visit me. I appreciate your comment.👍❤️🥰Liz
