    Just discovered your channel and now I'm a mega fan. My house is situated on a corner lot similar to yours and I have been debating literally for years on what to do. Most of the YT channels I've watched give ridiculously high prices for landscaping (mostly requiring trips to big box stores for pavers, mulch, etc.). You give down to earth somewhat easily accessible ways in which to make a beautiful area that is easy on the pocket book. I also like that you have taken into consideration the insects and animals that are so very important to all our lives in maintaining a habitable planet. My attitude in considering what to plant in my sidewalk yard is that grass feeds no one but needs a lot of babysitting (cutting, watering, feeding, maintaining), but a yard filled with native plants will feed insects, birds and other small animals. Also adding fruiting plants, trees and shrubs can feed my family. Thanks for all you do and I will also place the rallying cry "EARTH IS MY PLANET" in my garden utilizing some of the free bricks and stones I plan to pick up to send a message to others. You are totally awesome!

  • @GlitterPoolParty

    Very cool solution for a tiny concret patio. To deal with pop up cold snaps, you might consider adding a freestanding trellis or free pallet half wall between the planters and the wall. Then gather some old quilts or an electric blanket and a tarp to keep the blanket dry and drape them off the wall (secured with clamps) over the plants (use some poles, chairs, or other structure to keep the blankets from crushing the plants while they stay warm during the bad weather. Once the weather passing, pull off the blankets for the instant reveal.

    • @paulplantu

    • @GlitterPoolParty
      @GlitterPoolParty 2 года назад

      @@paulplantu lauren from Gatden Answers reminds us not to put plants in heated areas when moving them in from the cold since it might shock them, so ignore my suggestion for an electric blanket.... (non- electric blankets should however be fine.) Consider setting the pots on a scrap carpet remnant to get them off the ground, but pull the rugs when you pull the blankets.

I guess I’ve always been worried they would piss all over the plants and ruin them. So I put everything into containers because the few times I did actually plant something into the ground, it would become the new piss spot and it would die after a while. I want to turn my backyard into a haven, but I’m afraid all of my efforts will go to waste. Do you have that problem with your dogs? Just curious
