    Great job girls! I love my garden too, im in a new build & the garden was laid with turf that died in the summer 2 years aho when we moved in! It was practically white when we got here, right state, so, slowly I have transformed my garden space with a shed finally for added storage, lots & lots of pots as the ground is just rock solid, too hard to be able to plant anything! All the vibrant colours of various geraniums fushias and countless others just make it such a wonderful relaxing space and ive been getting visits from butterflies which I love!! Enjoy your garden Shade it truly looks marvellous!! Xx

      @@ShadeShannon The bees are pollenating, and are essential to your garden, they won't bother you, if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone. The bees are also becoming dangerously extinct, so you are helping the replenishment them, butterflies are beautiful to watch, and are jewelry to your garden, the creepy crawlies I can't comment on, because I don't know what kind, know worms are a good thing for your soil, all those visitors are telling you did a great job, lol.

    Use cardboard soak it mix dirt with potting soil throw thick on top of cardboard plant flowers or throw seeds wet ..done.. cardboard will do keep weeds out & eventually compost, use pine straw instead of mulch or use rubber mulch find plants beside road, ask friends family for seeds or bulbs & always plant perennials if trying to save $$$$

    Just bought a newbuild but not a fan of what they’ve planted besides the little rosebush up front. Probably gonna dig up everything early spring and start getting some asiatic lillies, peonies, and geraniums and then find a spot for a couple hydrangeas since they can get pretty large within 3-5yrs. Absolutes love what you and your mom created. I’ll definitely be using this vid for tips.
