    Also realizing why you use the pebbles in your pots. You can use the stronger water spray when watering from afar without kicking up the dirt. Love it!

    When you do what you love and love what you do, there is not such thing as "to much work". Your garden is a reflection of yourself, beautiful, inviting and cozy; i am a big fan of potted plants because it gives me the advantage and opportunity of moving things around according to my mood 😆

    I start my day watering my garden. It’s a lovely contemplative time for me. Great video!

    I feel the exact same way Linda, it's not "a chore" to me either. I live in New Mexico and go out in the mornings and water my potted plants, veggies, and perennial garden. I also do it in the evenings too, when we get really hot down here. It's so peaceful and therapeutic to care for and see your plants / veggies thrive everyday. I just love it! Thanks for sharing, I love your garden! :)

    I love watering my plants, if you don't enjoy it you may not be that into gardening. For me it is almost like meditation to water and deadhead my plants.

      Same for me. I enjoy the daily ritual of watering my container plants.

      I agree. It is not work to me. Taking care of my garden gives me peace. I work full time, but now since pandemic, from home. I love sneaking out for a few minutes and on my lunch break to enjoy my labor of love❣

    Linda you are truly a wonderful gardener. I feel the love. 😊 Liked your idea of a bucket of fertilizer water and emersing the plants. Also loved that garden hose nozzle the way you can start and stop the water flow. Thank you for making my day more fun when watering my plants. 🌸

  • @sharongrimaldi8958
    @sharongrimaldi8958 4 года назад +40

    Besides pruning, watering is my favorite activity because it allows me to spend time in my garden with my plants. You can use this time to take in the beauty of plants, relax your thoughts and observe their health and catch things before they become a problem. It doesn't feel like work to me, but gardening is my passion and I don't consider it work.

  • @laurajanesherman9126

    Although I live in a different part of the country, and different climate, I am learning so much from your videos. I have the opposite schedule: I have to work indoors in the morning and go outside in the afternoon AFTER IT'S WARM ENOUGH! Thank you; you are delightful.

    @bluesky7226 4 года назад +2

    Watering is relaxing. When I water I use a slower stream and a gentle spray to make sure the pot is fully saturated. Most plants, in pots and the ground, die from shallow watering. Your soak bucket is a great way to water the topiaries. 😊

    For your baskets used to hold plants spray them with polyurethane to help them a longer life outside. Anything to keep water from dissolving them. I live in Houston where we have lots of water and humidity.

    Thanks for the lovely visit to your garden - I love watering, though this year I'm putting in a complex irrigation system so we can go away - I'm gonna include pots in this system - but I may put all the pots in one place when we leave to keep it simple. I really like your 2 week soak with liquid organic fertilizer - what a great idea.
    Warmest regards Jennie

    I'm down with the watering techniques, mornings or evenings depending, but like your nozzle better for not having to use my thumb! I'll have to get! I learnt Lavender Topiary loves water. I'm just keeping mine indoors now. She doesn't like the Hot Full Sun on her and thats what my deck gets the majority of the day. She's content now! 😊 My English Lavender doesn't seem to mind the full sun on the otherhand 🤷‍♀️ .. go figure!
    Nice tip on deep watering. Thank you Linda! :)

And is there a secret to prolonging the longevity of the basket? Where did you buy the pot and basket? What are some examples of plants you water to knock odd them mites and aphids? What is the water rate per gallon per hour is your drip on? I just installed mine and have no idea! I need that hose holder and hose! The handheld sprayer helps me a lot, as I have tendinitis!
