I love how you two giggle together. That is special for the viewer. Sooo look forward to seeing you and Kate design this space - she has SUCH great ideas!!! Quite right on the saying - First year sleep, second year creep and third year leap. Well well done and loads and loads of love.
Our gardens are ever changing, right? I think it must take a lifetime to achieve what we have in our heads. I feel like an imposter too😊, but after 5 years of deliberate planting, I think I'm finally on the right path. Your gorgeous garden is my goals. Really looking forward to your new side garden.
Your garden is BEAUTIFUL .Every plant every tree does its own thing,just like people,no matter how much you learn ,you will always have success and failures. .I too am OCD but the best thing I have learned,is to give myself GRACE in gardening and enjoy it .I am in the South,so I am on the boxwood team ,I love love them Happy Fall 🍁🍂
I really needed to hear this, thank you so much. 🥰 I sometimes forget how far we’ve come and it’s okay for things to get wild here and there. I love the feedback on the boxwoods, I really think it would be stunning. 🤩
Love your garden. I think a reason your flowers do better in the regular beds is due to biodiversity you’re creating by mixing up plant types. I understand that this is important as some plants give and some take from the soil.
Hi Claudia and Sergey 👋 I love your laugh 😊 Our Purple Loropetalums are in the Witch Hazel family and they are also called Fringe Flowers, They bloom in Spring and Fall, and the flowers are a pinkish purple. 1 of my "ALL TIME FAVORITES " 😍 Your Maples are a beautiful vibrant red.. I am excited about the side yard project with Kate! I hear a lot that if a shrub/tree fails in an area, not to go in and plant the same type to replace the dead. 🤷♀️😊 I love Ruby Falls Red Buds 😍 Your gardens are absolutely beautiful! Remember gardens are ever changing, ever growing. They have smaller boxwoods and there is a new variety called better boxwoods (I copied and pasted) Better Boxwood® Help prevent the spread of boxwood blight with Better Boxwood, the first collection of scientifically bred blight-resistant boxwood zones 5-9. (I can't remember your zone...) Also there are 4 different sizes and shapes. I have also seen people use some Hollies in place of boxwoods, they are soft and are really nice looking hedges. Rosemary as well looks beautiful. Just unsure in your zone. I don't experience much transitioning fall color here in zone 9b Texas Gulf Coast. I pretty much go from green to brown 😕😂 You two take care and thank you for sharing your beautiful gardens with us my friends. 😊
Hi Claudia, I once planted tulips in containers on my deck to over winter. Deck is 12 feet off the ground. The squirrels found them. How???? Anyhow, now I put the containers under the deck with chicken wire over them for the winter. Last year they grew!!!!
No boxwoods!!! So many RUclipsrs all go to the boxwoods. I know Laura is a big I fluence on you all but she has a lot of room to do that. Oh well, just a thought. Your back yard will look cluttered too. 😊
I love all the colors! Your maples on your deck are beautiful! Everything looks so cheery and Fall like. 🙂🍁🍂

I would test the soil where the beech tree keeps dying before you plant anything there
Maybe use Ilex Strongbox instead of boxwood. I like the flagstone path idea.
Another hedge option could be dwarf lavender or short grasses
Ooooh I didn’t think of that! It would bring in more color and the bees would also love it. 👀🥰
Love your garden! It’s creating such an intimate and beautiful space! I would love to hear your husband more. He needs a mic 😊
Enjoyed

Please mike up your husband. He will fight you on it but we want to hear his comments, it is part of the fun.😊
Good morning, new to gardening here…..are there any cut flowers for fall n winter to plant. Thank you.
Can’t hear what your hubs is saying??🤔
