It is a blessed day guys, best youtuber out there uploaded
Thank you for the amazing compliment. I feel honored!
Seriously! I like his videos.
I agree!
Yes, that`s what I wanted to write also 🙂
Your videos are next level educational and fun.@@suburbanhomestead
He returned when we needed him most!
That that made my day.
I unsubscribed. I feel so ashamed for doubting you.
@@gregpendrey6711 what?
I was more then pleased to get the notification for this video❤️❤️
The production level of these videos never ceases to amaze me
Pure magic!
yes. he is a genius.
Seriously.
A true artist fr
This man really doesn't realize how often I think of him and his house in my day-to-day life.
As an introvert I must say this is hard to imagine.
Same here!! I had a feeling he would upload soon 😊
same!!
@@suburbanhomestead as another introvert, I understand this feeling. However, I so look forward to your videos, and share them with a friend for whom I am transitioning his yard into a modified cottage garden. Modified in that this year experimenting with a palm and banana plant since our growing zone has changed.
OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN WAITITNG MONTHS FOR THIS I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH
I hope it will be worth the wait. Let me know at the end.
@@suburbanhomestead yes your garden inspires me to look into gardening i appreciate the quality of your videos and the how long they are its so enjoyable to watch!
well. maybe years. I am so happy he is back and has accomplished what he dreamed of.
You also give us gardeners hope by letting us know that sometimes, we plan and it sometimes takes longer than anticipated. Thanks for showing us how to build things too. ❤❤❤
That’s been my objective because a lot of garden video tend to only show the best case. I hope to show how nature is beautifully imperfect.
A gardener’s work is never done, and that’s great.
I realized I give up WAY TOO EARLY
In my experience, it takes four years for the perennials to truly mature and what a difference that makes.
You already have such an incredible space, you being able to completely transform it into something you love- and helping others to do the same, is so amazing. Your so funny and inspiring, not to mention extremely impressive
Thank you for the kind words. It’s been an interesting journey.
“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” It takes vision and patience to plan, plant and nurture a cottage garden. You’ve done an amazing job and I’m so pleased you’re able to truly enjoy your hard work. Your garden is absolutely stunning! Your vlog is so informative and reminds the rest of us gardeners that not everything grows exactly where it’s planted - sometimes it takes a little trial and error to figure things out. Thoroughly enjoyed this video and your little slice of serenity.
Welcome back! Remember, a garden is a journey not a destination. Enjoy!
Thank you for being on RUclips. I do a major happy dance in my head when you put out a video. I love your style.
That made my day thank you.
Hey Stranger! How nice to have you back!!!
It’s been a while🫣
HE'S BACK!!! :)))))) 😱
Edit: Your videos are what inspired me to turn my own front garden into a beautiful cottage garden, thank you so much! :)
It means a lot to hear that. I feel honored
So refreshing to have you back. Sometimes I binge watch your channel for some inner peace and gardening love. So thrilled to see a new upload!
Ugh, what an incredible journey! And what an exquisite reminder of the importance of patience, persistence and delayed gratification. Your suite of skills and hobbies is admirable and the dream world you have created is beyond breathtaking. Thank you for sharing it all with us.
Thank you for noticing the effort put into this. I hope people feel inspired.
i'm 10 seconds in and i already love the editing!
Hope you enjoy
An absolutely beautiful achievement! The humility in allowing us in on the failures only educates your audience with the techniques for triumph.
I hope to inspire new gardeners to keep trying and learning, and not be discouraged through the failures.
You're an inspiration. My suggestion for the front garden room is the cathedral
Love that name! Let’s see if more people upvote it.
This video has it all - a bit of a walk in an English meadow, a nostalgic episode of Mr. Rogers, humor and wit, and a lovely journey from haunted mansion to paradise on earth. Lovely. Thank you.
Your garden is so dreamy. Its like something out of a storybook.
the editing in this video is so fun and beautiful
The amount of effort and creativity with the narratives.. This video deserves more views.. at LEAST 1 million
Thank you for recognizing the effort. Indeed it would be wonderful if it can reach that wide of viewership but it is always hard to predict how RUclips’s algorithm and people’s engagement is.
I just love your takeon gardening… if only I had a garden angel like you to turn to near my home. I am a relatively new gardener.. 74 years old and if only had started gardening in my youthful years Keep up your inspirational videos
Thank you for creating the most sustainable model for being a YT 'content creator' I've encountered. Utterly brilliant the way your art intersects with the garden and helps to fund the endeavour. You're videos, from editing to animation to music selections (including your own), are an inspiration {I've been daydreaming for the past few years of starting my own vintage sewing channel; yours and Bernadette Banners' remain my source for how it can be done}.
The cement mold that you found is amazing - well done. And I consider the presence of vultures to be a good sign of an ecology that's close to balance - we have them swooping through our downtown neighbourhood daily. That wingspan is truly something to behold whilst in flight. Nice that your old shed provided a home to them as a last act...
For the past 25 years or so I've kept a vegetable and herb garden on our treehouse-apartment balcony. This past year I've upped the flower content to feed the local wild bee and bumble population. I'll be building a bee hotel in the spring. Next year I'm looking at adding a small water feature to provide space for the dragonflies that occasionally drop by (apparently the populations in the UK are experiencing stress, so it's only a matter of time until North America feels the same pressure). Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Cathy for the kind words. Yes you should start your RUclips channel. I feel honored to have served as inspiration. Thank you for the thoughtful comment.
YESSSS! I was just checking YESTERDAY to see if I missed your latest post!
It’s been a long hiatus indeed but I’ve have a lot of material collected for new videos. Hope the quality makes up for the quantity
I have sure missed your videos. The journey you are on renovating your home and those beautiful and delicious gardens are sure inspirational😊
Thank you. I hope enjoy what is to come.
@@suburbanhomestead ❤️
I've never seen your channel before but I think this might be my new favourite video ever.
Oh it is for sure!
I wheezed at the baby vultures INSIDE the shed. They're hilarious I love them so much lol
Simply amazing what you have achieved with your home and property. It is now the jewel of the neighborhood! It was so sad to see the house abandoned and the yard overgrown for years. I always felt the house had so much potential. We lived in the neighborhood for 30 years. Miss the trains. Keep the videos coming!
Glad to hear that. While it doesn’t always look perfect year round I hope it sparks joy to those who pass by. Indeed the porch detailing is a gem. It’s a shame much of the wooden siding was missing so I had to put vinyl over it.
I was hoping your neighbors properly appreciate all your efforts so this comment warms my heart :)
Oh man I am so glad you are back. It's like Gardener's World in how peaceful it is, but also your so funny.
That is a high compliment. Monty Don is the best and Carol Klein.
I've finished the video and was blown away. This is gorgeous! And makes me feel better about the progress of my 2 year garden.
My absolute joy, seeing a garden story from you... Thank you for the poetry and your love of nature... 🌷
Glad you enjoyed it.
“When the downs are especially painful and the ups are quickly normalized” hit me like a brick wall, I tell you! I’ve been on my own improvement journey, and the normalization time for me is about… 48 hours! 😂
Thanks for putting it so well into words!
It must feel amazing walking into an enchanting, fairy tale garden like this one. Beautiful and magical!
I must say if you special. Obviously it’s at its height during June and July. Those are the most magical times. afterwards it can look a bit beaten up, but I’m trying to get better at fall gardening.
Thank you. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for sharing the beautiful journey of your cottage garden. Most of all, thank you for your humor and intelligence that fill this video. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much for taking time to write these kind words. It makes all the work worthwhile.
Wow, you never fail to impress. You're right, I wondered why you just didn't buy a premade fence and then thought again... that's not how he rolls. I think that's what I like so much about you. You are so creative and have such unique ideas. The beauty you create is magical. Thank you for sharing.
Well, I think you understand me at this point. Thanks for watching.
I've never watched a channel that filled me with such inspiration, I'm only in my early 20s but I hope to one day have this kind of skill in the garden!!
You’re back! Glad to see another chapter!
Hope you enjoyed it.
Literally brings tears to my eyes, such loveliness. My favorite literature is "Anne of Green Gables," and watching your channel brings me back to the same childlike whimsy, mostly lost to the daily grind. So, for that reason, your "front room" should be called "Whimsy's Way" or something with "Patience" to honor the discipline of the virtue. Thank you, and be blessed!
Yeah! Was so looking forward to seeing your next upload!! Thank you so much for sharing your peaceful, serene and humorous gardening inspiration!! 💚 🏡
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for making this recap! I am so grateful you're back.
I hope it was enlightening for those who have just started gardening, to understand the process.
I love watching your gardens evolve! It's like you painted that garden right on there
Glad you enjoyed the process.
Yes!!! This video spanned 5 years!
Your cottage garden is so awesome! You did an amazing job! 👏👏👏
You inspire me to continue learning, experimenting, and making changes in my own garden, and then look forward to another garden season the following year! You have created a playful, romantic, dream like garden....truly breathtaking! Now, let's talk about the inside of the house...those statues by the stairwell?? Could we have a peek inside with a little home tour????
I feel honored to inspire more gardening. Indeed, I need to create videos for the interior.
I complete forgot I was subscribed to you but I am so glad I still am,I love the transformation of your space.
It’s such a journey and I love how it feels as if we are helping
Glad to see RUclips has served you the video. It was a long hiatus from my part.
Glad to see you back!! I was just rewatching a bunch of your videos this week bc its the ultimate garden inspiration and i was hoping everything is going well for you in your absence ❤
Glad to be back and glad to hear you still find the old video
Loved the recap journey. Your front garden should be called the welcome garden. Lots of inspiration for me who gardens in Kent in England!
Zinnias! Great "placeholder" while you figure out what you want in its place. Buy the seeds in buik by 1/4 oz at the seed / feed store for more than enough and less than $4. Plus, incredibly fun, because the more you cut them, the more they spread. Throw the seeds out wherever and let it happen! They bloom for months and the 48" tall variety in my garden are over 5' tall. GREAT FUN!!
My exhausting exams has finished and I came home to this beautiful video from him
Thanks for the wonderful video. Your home , garden and the structures that you built look like the homes on my grandparents street in Connecticut sixty years ago. The people who lived there moved there in the 30’s and fix them up with what ever materials they could “get” and brought a wonderful human character to the neighborhood.
I absolutely love the make do aesthetic that was quite common back in a day. It was great to see people beautify their surroundings with what was available. Thanks for watching.
WOW! That 38 min. and 16 seconds was the best time I've spent in a long time. I just LOVE the way you introduced us to your 'horror house and yard', then took us on this amazing journey to a 'wonderland'. The way you perfectly interspersed thoughts, drawings and the reality of actual gardening couldn't have been better.
Several of my friends and family will, I'm sure, be thrilled to watch this video. Thank you so much for carefully filming and editing this inspiring journey. Looking forward to seeing how your wonderful cottage garden progresses (especially those peonies).
💚😊💚
Omg! Finally he posted I enjoy watching his videos
I appreciate that you bring out quality instead of quantity. Love to see the evolution in your garden.
Really enjoyed this even though I'm in uk 😁 going to look at your older one's, love the style of old houses you have over there . Especially the porches
You never cease to amaze me Siloe! Seriously some of the best and most creative content not only in the gardening community but all of RUclips! Brilliant!
Great production value! so much work must have gone into it: the dialog, the screencuts, the directing, not to mention all the work that went into the yard itself! love these videos, especially the ones about lettuce and other vegetables! PS: I've got hollyhocks in my garden too but they self seed!
Glad to hear you enjoyed the documentaries. I may do a new one in the future. Indeed getting hollyhocks to just naturalize is so much easier. I finally got some this year that did.
What a great video to begin a Sunday and week. Brilliant ideas, especially the conduit pipe over rebar.
I had seen that concept for pvc pipe I just wanted a more aesthetic solution.
Yes, i knew something special would happen this morning
I hope it was special indeed.
Siloe, you are an amazing person. You are indeed an artist, artisan, what I would call a Renaissance man. You are so creative and capable as a builder, as well as gardener. I remember when you were struggling with 50K or 60K subscribers. Now you are over 337K. Whatever you make/build you always add an element of beauty not just functionality. I always wondered what kind of training/influence you received in the past to bring you to this level of sophistication. Eu nao posso imaginar que foi no Brasil. Your videos are one of a kind even though your gardening content are common knowledge. I get exhausted just watching you tackle huge long term projects. Always pleased that you complete and achieve your goals. Thank you for sharing your work for the world to see.
Yaaay!!! I'm so excited to see that this video has come out! I'm just a few seconds in, but wooow! It's so beautiful! I'm diving in now, just wanted to say thank you for all that you do with these videos. You're in a league of your own and I'm grateful that you share your art with us on RUclips! 💕
I’m glad to hear that. I’ve been trying my best to only produce engaging and rewarding videos no matter how long they take. Hope you like what is to come.
@@suburbanhomestead This was your finest video yet. The visuals were gorgeous and your storytelling balanced information with charm and humor. You make all that you do feel like it is worth trying. I'm glad that you continue to strive to produce what you feel is rewarding and worthwhile. That is something that sets you apart. You offer a level of substance that is truly a treasure to behold.
I've learned so much from you these last few years, giving me the courage to just try things out. I'm an apartment renter, and your videos inspired me to try to create a tiny container garden on my porch. My neighbors seem to enjoy it as much as I do. I'm looking forward to the day where I can tinker on a grander scale and put into practice a lot of the techniques you've displayed.
I'm not sure if you were educated in all of this or if you have a natural talent. I can't recall if you've discussed it before. You've opened a place in my mind that is hungry for as much knowledge as I can get and I'm very thankful to you for that. I hope you have the best day knowing how big an impact you are having in the lives of others. I'm definitely looking forward to what is to come!
HEY there you are! This video is full of tears as diverse as your displays. 1st sadness as I reflect on my own journey, then of relief that I am not alone, then of joy at your success and last of hope. So grateful for the way you share the ups and downs with visual and literary artistry. It is life giving.
I was so happy to see a new video on your channel!! LOVE the format. You inspire me to grow more flowers.
I’m always glad to see more colorful gardens out there.
Wait, how did so many years pass since you started this project? I feel like I watched the first one of the series last year? Surely time hasn’t passed that quickly? What is time?!? Congratulations on the success of a beautiful garden! How rewarding and inspiring!
I've been checking often because I thought I missed a notification! thanks for another video!
It’s been a while 🫣
I am battling some epic garden fails this year while working nights and renovating my old Victorian home. At almost 60 after the kids moved home to trash my interior calm I needed this like a deep root watering. Grateful!
The editing of this video is incredibly dynamic and makes me feel at ease with gardening even though I'm more of a house person.✨
Ps: sorriso genuíno quando soube que tu era brasileiro haha. 😊
Valeu, meu amigo.
A masterfully created video of a masterfully created garden! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Also enjoyed the glimpses of the interior of your house.
I hope it sparked joy in your day.
L❤VE everything about this post, it's my favorite video you've produced
That’s quite the compliment.
A beautiful testament to your patience and planning and your work with Mother Nature. Thank you for another wonderful video
Glorious! Well worth the wait ❤
I’m elated to hear that.
I just visited your channel again recently and I realized how good your videos made me feel and when you were away I felt that I lost touch with the real outside world and any motivation to be in it. Thank you for making my life a better version of it.
you have done an amazing job
Thank you.
Your creativity is unmatched. How you made that fence and pergola was genius 😮
i was waiting for it 😭😭😭
Hope it was worth it and I hope you enjoy the next videos.
This is finally a gardening video that I can fully relate to! Thank you for showing the struggle of the journey!
YEEEESSSS OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Thanks. I hope you enjoy this one.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. You are missed sir Siloe.
Your garden rooms could be quite simple as north, east, south and west. Or inspirational pertaining to a few of your favorite artists. This video gives me hope, we lost our 1915 Craftsman bungalow due to a neighbor's home catching fire and taking ours with it (along with my garden, trees and all). I started that garden back in 1992 when the house was first purchased. At the time the yard consisted of old school Bermuda grass only, not even a single tree on the property. So, watching you persevere year by year, I will take up my spade, and start over again. Just like you, trial and error, season by season. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
YESSS!! this was everything I was looking forward to, and more. Stunning work!! Your videos always renew my creativity! 💐
I’m in my 8th year of cultivating my current garden, and I can say it really only hit its stride around last year. It’s small, only about 25 square metres, and I work on it in smaller sections while having an overall plan that I tweak from year to year. It really does take many years for a vision to materialise, and most plants need at least 3 years to settle in. This spring I completely reworked one entire border, and while I’m much happier with the layout, this summer’s display was a little lacklustre - but if gardening has taught me anything, it’s taught me patience and persistence. Now to plan my autumn sowings :)
This little things costs o olho da cara and you're a genious and a mage for it and for making it work, respect man 🏅👏
I love your garden videos, Siloe! You're so inventive with materials, I always learn something. So glad you discovered winter sowing. I've also used it to fill my beds from nothing in the last two years--plus continuing to sow seeds all season. I'd love more videos on your interior decorating, too, if you ever have the time/feel like making them. I also own an old Victorian.
You're living my dream. And putting so much hard work into your garden so that we all can appreciate it's beauty. Thank you!!
incredible makeover content, incredible editing, less incredible yt algorithm
We love waiting for your uploads as much as we love waiting for a beautiful flower to spout and bloom! 38 minutes of pure bliss :D
I just love your garden, videos, trials and errors. Thank you for showing the reality to gardening. You’ve done an amazing job. You put some much time and attention into your garden and it shows. It’s a work of art! I’d also call your front garden the Monet garden :)
You are my favorite garden you tuber out there!! Everything you do is a poetry and a masterpiece!! BRAVO!!! I want to live in your house and enjoy your garden everyday… It’s like a living painting !!🥰😍👏 🎉 🌸 💐
I've missed you! Been rewatching your earlier videos for a fix. So happy you have returned. This is a beautiful video taking us through your trials and tribulations to the final glorious success which is the cottage garden. I'm in my 2nd year of trying to create a cottage garden from scratch, hope it ends up as wonderful as yours 🤞
I just love your garden, videos, trials and errors. Thank you for showing the reality to gardening. You’ve done an amazing job. You put some much time and attention into your garden and it shows. It’s a work of art!
I have themes in my garden. It began with quotes from children's books. Next to my willow tree is a sign that says, "Listen to the wind in the willows." In the natural area... "Where the Wild Things Are". But... I recently came across a book called Shakespeare's Gardens by Jackie Bennett so perhaps I'll switch out the theme to Shakespeare quotes. "Here's flowers for you: Hot lavender, mints, savoury, marjoram." from, The Winter's Tale, Act 4, Scene 4. I love the idea of making my garden educational and I love making the signage for the different "rooms". They're like little whimsical works of art that compliment the flowers.
Hello! Wonderful to see you! Such an entertaining, educational, and inspirational presentation today! I hear you about the peonies and hollyhocks. I'm in Southern California, and in order to keep hollyhocks from frying in the sun, I've planted them in shade, where they've promptly developed rust. I've been burned by mislabeling issues as well; tiger lilies that came up plain orange. They do well, but I really wanted stripes and spots. I like to hit the discount plant shelves too, and recently found a puny Russian Sage plant for $2.50, which has already doubled in size. I expect it will grow to be huge and fill in a spot next to my 7ft tall native Coyote Brush that has similar water needs. The $1.99 Fiesta rose from three years ago gave me four months of cherry red flowers this year, right where I can see them from my kitchen window. It's those moments that make all of the hard work worth it. I love how creative you are with making practical items on a budget, while making them beautiful. I'm still in awe of those garden beds with the fancy top structures. I adore that Victorian rope edging!! Gorgeous! My 1930s house had lots of the pink scallop cement border pieces, but I turned them upside down for a cleaner look. Thank you for reminding all of us that gardening is a process, and it will take time to reach potential...and (ha ha) by then you will decide you want to change things around. When people ask when my garden will be done, I just laugh. Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicholson spent 30 years turning a ruin into the fantastic Sissinghurst gardens. Besides, if my garden was 'done', then what would I do? Cheers, Siloe!
It really looks lovely now. I remember seeing past videos of the side yard changes and really happy you've gotten what you were hoping for. I love that you had lilies and peonies. Peonies can be slow to start, but they can live and bloom carefree for decades. I remember the peonies would boom around my birthday on the farm where I grew up days after the lilacs finished. I planted lilies, tulips and hyacinths along with other experiments in my garden as a teenager. Now in my late 40s after renting apartments for decades, I'm looking forward to finally having a garden when I finally build my tiny home in a hot tropical place (I think it would be considered zone 12) with a summer monsoon. I bought enough rural land (a little under half an acre) I could afford DESPITE the hot climate so I could finally have a garden again and am just waiting for the paperwork to start. Perhaps in 2025? I only wish I could find a good channel for tropical gardening. Most searches for gardening in the tropics get results for making a tropical feel garden in the temperate zones, or at best in mild-climate subtropical areas like San Diego or central Florida, lol.
This garden is just a vision you could have in a dream. It's kind of crazy how you struggled to have Hollyhocks flowers blooming because, I live in France and those flowers grow so well, especially on sidewalk cracks or at the bottom of trees on cities. It always amaze me to see how plants can behave so different based on where you live.
What a dream is to make a garden as beautiful as yours!! Is truly inspiring and makes us exercise our patience and gratitude towards the small details that makes life even more beautiful
I had been HOPING for a new video - and what a culmination! You've put in so much work and I hope you're enjoying the results. Thank you for taking the time to share this with all of us.
Beautiful. Would love to see a house tour of your cottage as well.
The best part of gardening---seeing it all come together. And knowing that "next year" will be even more stunning. Great job---both on the garden AND putting together such a heavenly video.
I love the changing and progressing color pallete from year to year, you're getting some lovely vignettes !
Just so grateful people like this exist ❤❤❤ God bless you, man. Gorgeous work as always.
Long time watcher. Missed you. Your videos are always outstanding, and you're an excellent gardener. Your arbor and rope border are to die for!
Glad you have been watching for a while. I appreciate the long time viewers. I think you may like some other edging ideas I’ll show and subsequent videos.
Absolutely phenomenal work
Whooooaaa! You are a creative, hard-working gardener worker person. Kudos to you!
