  • The spring garden weights for no one! Right now everything is exploding all at once. So much beauty and work to be done. Things fading, things peeking, things coming into their own. Warmer than usual temperatures and wind play their part. But it’s supposed to cool down next week, and I for one and looking forward to it. #gardening #gardendecor #gardendesign #cottagegarden #gardentour #cottagestyle #backyard

    Spring is SPRINGING HARD. We are in the 70's, got up in the 80's, but we will dip down into the 60's and then back up to 70. Prettiest spring I can remember for a long time, but the gardener is getting behind. I will be out there at sunrise tomorrow morning. But isn't this what we live for, SPRING?!!!

    Linda, You might know this, but in case you don't, you need to hand fertilize the pumpkin flowers in order to get fruit. I used a paintbrush and harvested pollen from several male flowers before sprinkling it on the female flower. (My late mom used to get quite a kick out of my "Dr. Ruth" exploits in the pumpkin patch!)

    Beautiful gardens! Could you show us the pruning of the magnolia shrub in its entirety? I would love to see it from start to finish in real time. Is there a way to do this without speeding up the video? I like to hear your thoughts as you decide which branches to keep or cut and well, just your reflections in general as you work. Please show us the potting up of the plant across from your kitchen window? I would love to hear the decision making process and your musings on pot placement, etc. Thanks again for providing us with enjoyable and creative content!

    Just the other day I caught a video of someone advertising a reblooming rhododendron. One that blooms once in the Spring and once in the Fall. I had a lot of thoughts about that. I LOVE reblooming roses. But many other plants I am not a fan of seeing them over and over again. To each his own. But I like your comment about having sequential bloom. It takes skill and some savvy to design a garden so that you always have something in bloom. But that's the challenge! You've accepted the challenge and you do it effortlessly! Love your channel!

    Everything is outrageously GORgeous, Linda! (even at this early stage/time of the season). It amazes me with such dense plantings - do you not have issues with powdery mildew, aphids, or bunny-damage, and such? Can you do a video with these (and other kinds of) issues? So jelly of your temperatures; I'm SW of Cleveland, OH (zone 6a) and we have, like 2, 3 days of upper 60's & 70's, and it's GLOrious to get out and putz around. Now we're looking at hight50's/low 60's with night time temperatures at 33, 36 degrees. AAARGH!!! I'm already seeing some annuals at the retail stores starting to pop up = uh, no thanks, I think I'll wait...

    Everything is looking wonderful, including you, but I think Oakland
    Hollies grow way too big for the narrow side yard. They look great out front as a large hedge, that’s an appropriate place for them, but you need dwarf evergreens on the side. Verbena bonariensis is a gorgeous plant. 🌿🌿🌿🌸
