You are a treasure to come home to after a long stressful day at work. May you never stop 🙏
Hi Linda! Everything is looking so beautiful. I noticed that you have uplighting in the center of your new trees. Would you and Stewart be willing to do an evening garden stroll for us so we can experience the magic of the nighttime garden, the lighting, etc.? :) Would be interested in learning more about the type of lights you have!
What a great idea! 😊
Good idea
Yes! Please 🙏🏻
I just loved this walk about!!!! It was full of such helpful knowledge about gardening that helps make me a smarter gardener in my yard. I am so dang happy for you and your garden and I reap all the joy and happiness thru your videos. [Thank You Stewart, you are the best].
I love ajuga! It grows so well and you can split it up! I started with it in the ground, then decided to put it in a large pot. What a show stopper!!❤
Linda, I just wanted to thank you for the immense enjoyment I get from watching your videos! Your gardens, your fairytale cottage and moreover YOU are all sorts of lovely !! 🍄💕
I loved every minute of this Wednesday walkabout everything is looking fabulous. Great idea with the gray umbrella looks 100% better.
If your window box looks wild/less structured, I think we can not only accommodate but applaud your artistic expression reminding us that change and taking a chance can be an exciting and joyful learning experience. Who knows what next season may bring. Kudos!
The dark umbrella looks SO much better. Blends in perfectly and doesn’t stand out. Lovely!
I, also, thought that the tan umbrella did not look as good as it should in the front of your home. When you showed that you had changed the color of your umbrella to darker gray, I was so happy! It looks wonderful!
Thanks Linda! This is like watching a gorgeous Master Class🤩
Your cottage garden just looks wonderful Linda! Can’t believe the progress. You always share such great ideas too. I’m not familiar with feverfew. Gonna check it out! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and inspiration! 🌸💐🌸
Nice shed. Can't wait to see it after you paint it!!!
I learn something new every time I watch! Garden is beautiful… 🌺
The gray unbreakable made a remarkable change. Lovet it.
Ps. Big fan of Stewart as well!!❤
Linda, everything looks green, lush and bountiful! Really loving the garden and it's evolution!
Those little boxwood basil plants are so adorable.
Love the color of the new umbrella. A great classy improvement!
Always thankful for a long Linda video!
I would always use the botanical name (generally I think we do that more in the UK) as there is less room for error. Common names are different depending on the country you are in. The botanical name sometimes gives you a clue about the plant as well. Your garden is looking fabulous.
Are Terra hydrangea the same as an Oakleaf hydrangea -- Australia
@@eleanormilbank Tara is a variety of oakleaf hydrangea.
Thank you Erin
The garden is breathtaking!
Some very pale blue hydrangeas would look really nice along with white hydrangeas . Having the very pale blue in proximity to the red brick would add additional visual interest.
The walk about was great today. Everything has changed so much- the grass, roses, and all the plants. You are truly amazing. I can’t wait to see the your post on Wednesday and Sunday. I am glad to see the gray umbrella. I bet it now blends into the roof and house and you only see the yard. I hope Stuart will give a street view of all sides of the yard. I hope you are enjoying your visit with your son. thanks again for great tips.
I can't believe how quickly things have grown and filled out! It's really looking nice.
I love your window box! Love all the plants and how they're filling out. The garden is just beautiful! 😊
Loved seeing the weeding and propagating! I also have squirrel moments in the garden, where I start one task and keep moving on to others. Especially with weeding. It usually happens when going back and forth to the garage for different gardening tools, so I pack a bag with all different ones so I can avoid the back and forth.
I'm glad you took some of your plants they were so beautiful nothing's there now of what you planted
Oh my goodness, I made the same mistake, I bought a tan umbrella and it's just not right. When it's open it even looks a little yellow so now I have to either keep an umbrella I don't like or buy a grey one I know I'll like better. Unfortunately it's too late to return. 😏 So, now that I see how awesome your grey one looks, I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and spend the money for a grey one I know I'll love. Oh well....
Your yard is looking beautiful Linda! It's amazing how much you've accomplished in such a short time!
Awwww…the tiny boxwood basil..so sweet!
Hello Linda, I usually reference my plants by their common names. It's much easier to remember. Love the little ball shaped plants. ❤
I like the common name for my use. Easier to remember.
Smaller garden!? Holy cow!! Compared to mine, it’s a park!! I wish I had your energy to even do my smaller garden yard! 😃
Loved this walk about. I would like to see a drive by shot, from both directions, along the side and across the front, to get an idea of what your neighbors are experiencing as they pass by in their cars. 😊
It's amazing how happy all the plants look in your new garden. Your vision is taking shape so quickly. And, I appreciate your cottage-style window box. There's nothing cookie cutter about it, and it's the perfect window dressing for your adorable cottage.
Thank you so much for sharing! Enjoy your week ahead!
🌼💐🌿🧡
Definitely the common name, the botanical name is too big for my memory. 😂
I’ve never heard of service berry. I’ll be looking this one up.
So much you teach us. I thank you
My umbrella base on wheels that you recommended arrived yesterday, and I'm thrilled with it! Coupled with a new umbrellas that tilts, I'm able to easily move the umbrella for morning through afternoon shade. Summer outdoor game changer. Thanks from zone 6a CT.
Jas 32:26 😅 😊 okujv k
I cant find the info on the umbrella base on wheels. Can you share info?
Linda,
Thanks so much for naming all these plants. It helps as a starting point for me to learn about colors, growth habits, and how to compose a well-designed space. I’ve got a long list now to research & consider. Very helpful!
-Linda, Southern Oregon
Zone 8a & b
Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us. I love the transformation.
So beautiful, the garden has really come together so fast it seems.
Linda your darling shoes are blooming such a cute color hope they are as comfortable as they look great job Thank you and Stewart for all of your attention to detail
Hi Linda! You have some very pretty plants and plant combos. I was wondering though, why you don't have a designated path through them. As the plants grow, it's going to be harder and harder for you to step around in them. Also, visitors are limited to only seeing the garden from the central walkway, sidewalk or street. One of my favorite things to do in my garden is to walk the paths looking at everything. And, when my neighbor's grand daughters visited, they loved walking through the garden that way too. Anyway, it's just a thought.
I agree. I think a path on both sides would be nice so you can stroll and look at all the pretty plants. That would require moving some plants now though.
.....I think Linda was going to add more stepping stones but just hasn't had the chance to acquire more. At least that is what she stated about late April....As she didn't want o compact the soil. She mentioned she had several speaking engagments then her sons came to visit for Mothers Day and she was rushing to put dome order into her backyard for their visit. I wait like you to see her stone path completed soon.
Yes I was wondering about that too. Guests would better able to enjoy the plantings if they could walk through the gardens by talking a stroll through Linda’s magnificent gardens! 🥰
I totally enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing your gardening expertise with us!
Love that tip with the lantana, I’m definitely trying that at my place.
Thank you Linda for sharing your gardening skills and your beautiful garden. You have created a masterpiece, just like a magnificent painting or tapestry. I am so inspired by your use of colour through your use of shrubs and bushes that I am going to design a similar area in my garden here in subtropical Australia. Have you been to Australia?🐨 I have heard you mention that your son? I think, lived here. I really like the way that you plant seeds directly in your garden. I have always planted hardy annuals that way, but after seeing your seedlings come up I will be more adventurous! 🦜🐧🌺🌻🌴🍁
Soooo pretty...just love everything...❤
I go out in the yard to do one things and hours later get to it , just like you😊❤️. The Love of gardening!!
OH yes, I can totally relate !!!
The common name is easier for me to remember. My oh my, what a lovely day and colorful
front landscape....it seems to be loving the placement, good job Linda!
Best walk about ever! Learned soo much. Thank you ❤
I love watching these type of videos because I also live in OK in a city near you and it gives me ideas of what i can plant in my garden. Thank you!
Linda, I learned something from this Wednesday Walk About, like I do from all your videos. Thank You. ❤
Your front garden is filling in so beautifully! Thank you for the great tips on creating new plants and expanding coverage with snippets of existing plants. I like the new umbrella color much better; wise decision and a bonus that you can use the other one in the backyard. I find common names easier to remember; however, since I’m concentrating on native plants, I do also use the botanical as it’s important when purchasing natives to be specific. Wednesday’s walk-about was great fun!
Great Wednesday walkabout! The grey umbrella looks SO much better!
That retaining wall along the sidewalk would look so beautiful with cascading plants like Supertunias, verbena, sweet potato vine.
I loved Family Circus too. I will head upstairs to get something, and by the time I get up there I’ve forgotten what I went up there for. Beautiful garden!
Love the grey umbrella
I was not one to have or voice a previous opinion about the tan😀
But now seeing the grey….much better👍
Linda, Your garden is looking fabulous!
Love the boxwood basil !! Nice walk about !! Good tips❤!
Those blueberries 🫐 look delicious! So pretty. 🪻🌸🪻
Linda, the front garden is so pretty. I love, love, love the gray umbrella.
What I like so much is how you inspire us to really appreciate plants and design, and that you give us such interesting facts and ways of looking at things. Thank you
Oh my gosh Linda, I am the same way , I go out to do one thing and end up doingimg a dozen other. It is amazing how the hours fly working in the garden ! Cannot believe how nice the grass looks ! We are so dry here in sw Pa. With no rain in sight. Your gardens look beautiful !! Enjoyed this video as usual !
I only just realised that the signs have been removed. It really opens up the garden view. Loving your garden 😍 from South Australia 🇦🇺
Wow what a progress of your cottage garden..Its beautiful Linda
I always enjoy your videos and learn so much. Things are looking so nice.
Thank you ! So many teachable moments. The tip about pruning to create a downhill flow is one I am going to do tomorrow. (If it stops raining.Not complain big. Praise the Lord we always need the moisture in Amarillo.)😅
I am so glad you change the umbrella! I did not like the color of the other one in your garden but did not say anything because I thought it would be rude. But the gray goes perfectly. Also I always use the common name for plants because I remember it easier. And I was out in my garden today. I got a great deal on Kimberly ferns at Walmart that were almost dead. I asked and the manager mark them down to four dollars! I came home and split them and instead of two ferns I now have five. Which I love to scatter ferns in pots around under trees were there’s too many roots to grow plants. They quickly fill in a dead spot.
The longer the video the better!! Thank you Linda and Stewart!
Love the front garden!! Everything is really filling in too. Loved the tip on pruning to thicken up the plants also. I too have done the same to my succulents and started new ones 😊
I can certainly relate to that Linda, I start one thing that leads to another etc 😂
Your creativity is stunning. Love everything and your moments of sharing are like inviting your viewers in . Thank you for the special friendly way you always are.
In Canada, we call serviceberry a saskatoon. The trees grow wild but we can now buy them at most garden centres. Plentiful rain in the spring produces large, juice berries. In dry springs, the fruit is drier and less luscious. They make wonderful pie, jam, and are great additions to muffins etc. The indigenous people used them dried in pemmican. Some people would prefer that they didn't have large seeds but alas, they do. On the Canadian Prairies (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) saskatoon pie is the ultimate! Enjoy!
That’s interesting regarding the seeds...I’ve never noticed them. 🇨🇦
I like your color palette, it’s coming together very nicely. You southern gardeners are lucky to have so many chartreuse shrubs to choose from. In Zone 5 we have annuals such as coleus and sweet potato vine but no shrubs of that lovely color.
Linda!!! You are making my “to do” list for tomorrow HUGE! … clip & propagate all sedums, trim back asters, relocate crowded plants…!!!
Such a beautiful garden in such a short time I suspect due to your care and attention I have learned quite a lot about plant care from your walkabouts thank you ❤
I can’t believe how the garden looked then and now! It’s amazing what u have done!
Ok Miss Linda found your show and love it! Have moved to Northern Wisconsin and hopefully my greenhouse will help me plan perennials that will winter here and the deer won’t eat!😊
You are awesome in listening to comments with such an open mind!!!! So love the tips you just offered especially on pruning to create different looks!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND IT ALL LOOKS SO WONDERFUL!!! THANKS SO MUCH LINDA AND STEWART FOR YOUR CONTINUAL VIDEOS!!!❤❤❤❤
All the plants in your Cottage Garden look so green and healthy. I call my plants by their common name.
I like your gray umbrella color choice. Sturdy, yet easy to move.
I like the wild look/ less structured window box as more contemporary and creative
Linda. The cottage garden looks so beautiful and the hydrangeas are so lovely!. So nice. Your garden has come along so nicely. Love how everything looks so beautiful!
I’m sure you’ll have a book featuring this garden in the future, right? So much beautiful photography on your corner of the world in the years to come. I have a few screenshots so I can use your pallet colors in watercolors. Thanks for sharing🪴
I think an arbor at the top of the stairs with a pale pink David Austin climbing rose growing on it would really add to the English cottage garden feel of your yard. A very rustic, weathered driftwood-looking arbor that looks like you made it from an old tree that you cut down from your own garden would be a great focal point.
I also think some rosemary and lavender would be great additions to the hottest/driest parts of your front yard… English lavender makes a great low growing mounding shrub that looks like a ground cover. It thrives on neglect, all it needs is good drainage, so it’s perfect for the sloped parts of your yard. When it’s done blooming, I just deadhead it and it looks like a sage carpet on my yard. Great contrast with red foliaged shrubs!
At least one Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry should be on your short list of shrubs/trees to add to your garden. They’re great understory trees, so they tolerate partial shade from larger trees. They’re awesome planted close to a window because they’re very sparsely branched, so they don’t block the light/view from inside the house and they provide seasonal interest year round. Beautiful blooms in Spring and amazing Fall color! 🍂 🍂🍂
I love using dusty miller in floral arrangements. And they do root so you can spread them around in pots or in the ground. Everything is looking beautiful! I need to get outside and prune my boxwoods!
I am SO EXCITED to watch this video! This has been a topic i have been talking about lately. And just Monday evening my brother called me & he was telling me a good ground cover helps against weeds.
MAGNIFICENT!
Just gorgeous!!!!!!!
Hello from Squamish, BC Canada. I'm just loving what you have done with your new garden and you are such an inspiration. I watch you every morning before I head out to the garden, because then I feel inspired to try new things
Things are looking amazing in such a short time, Linda. Nature gave you some good rain when you needed it most. There’s just nothing like spring showers to get plants off to a good start. If ever you were going to have an unusually rainy spring this was the perfect year for it. 😊💖🦋🕊
Enjoyed this walk-about sooo much ! Every aspect really helpful and instructional. Thanks Linda and Stewart (:
What a fun day!
Yes, Linda. I have gardening ADD! Or Dementia. I'll go out to do one thing and start doing several things until I get back on track.
It’s so beautiful!
You're a wealth of information. You have inspired me to add flowers in containers and dig a small flower bed. I had two huge mulberry trees in my front yard, and they were very diseased and died. I was heartbroken, and my yard looked so bare and sad. My mulberry trees in my backyard died also. I have to start all over and landscape my backyard. I guess I have my work cut out for me.
Linda your yard looks amazing and I’m looking forward to seeing your sweet shed.
Of course I love your umbrella but I was hoping for something that would pop but that’s just me. As usual you’re cute as can be🥰
❤️Angie
Corona , Ca
Your garden just being woanderful thanks for sharing the tours of your garden ❤
Hi Linda: I’m from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. We have Saskatoon berries which I recently found out are also called service berries outside of Canada. They are delicious and make great pies and jam. Enjoy!! Love your videos
Everything looks BEAUTIFUL!
That's so funny because I thought I would like a gray umbrella better but I never stated that. Great minds think alike.
I love Blueberry Hill!!
Looking fabulous amazingly so quickly!
So much beautiful new growth.
