    I love the longer, real time action gardening video. The slower pace gives one time to ponder what can be implemented in ones own garden, and makes me wanna get out there to experience that peacefulness.

    Pruning is one of my favorite garden chores! I had never considered topiary because I thought they would be too fussy and needy. But I now realize I have a beautiful reason to apply my favorite garden activity while learning a new garden skill. And, I can always use another stress management tool in my deep health tool belt! : )

    Thank you for all the lessons and tips, Linda! This was great to see. I enjoyed watching you work! Virginia Creeper is my nemesis! Someone planted it under a live oak here in south Louisiana 😬 and I have been trying to get rid of it for years. This year I decided I was going to get it once and for all. You would not believe the roots and size of the underground vines. Some were 4” in diameter! No wonder this stuff pops up everywhere! I think I finally got it under control, but fear it will be an ongoing task to catch new shoots while they’re young. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful garden and knowledge with us! 🙌💚🌿

      One of my BFF in metro New Orleans calls it Ubiquitous Vine. It's hard to get rid of like 4 o'clock, oxalis, and morning glories. I may have forgotten others. Ornamental gingers can also be a problem. I'm limiting names to plants that some people buy.

    Listening to this as a new fan, after your QVC product launch and I must say I am impressed by how you manifested your words at 23:20 into reality within a year: “If I ever had my own product line, I would make weather-proof baskets that looked real but that could stand up to the elements.” You sure did 🌱💫

    Hi Linda. I just saw on another video about a spray for powdery mildew. 1 tsp hydrogen peroxide to 1 cup of water. Or Copper Fungicide by I think Bonide. I'll be trying the recipe one on my phlox this summer. I remember yet another video saying to throw it out in the regular garbage so it doesn't go into circulation when the village composts the garden waste. Idk. I'm going to try the spray method. I didn't know about cutting back and delaying the blooms. Thanks for sharing. I love your gardens.

    I do all my own work. Except mowing and the edging in the front
    And any help I've had has been someone I witness with, including laying bricks and stone and gravel. I only have about a half acre and gr ighr now I'm spending all day every day cleaning up and replanting
    We had a horrible spring, way too much rain followed this summer and the temps are not too bad, but the humidity is killer. But I love it. And I'm pretty sure if I turned it over to anyone, except maybe you, they would mess it up😎. Florida has special challenges especially in the coastal south, zone 11. But the garden and the heat don't bully me. But they try. BTW I'm 71

    Thank you for letting me a little bird on your shoulder, Linda. I love learning from different gardeners about their tips and tricks. Those are some set of pruning shears. Do you have to sharpen them often? Do you have any tips besides the spray alcohol (which I really like that one)? I admit that I’m not good about garden tool maintenance.

  • @jodifesler6712

    Enjoyed your video on maintaining your garden immensely and those shears are fab! To bad Virginian creeper is on your fence and invading parts of your garden. I feel for you as my neighbor is trying to grow that stuff on mine and from what I understand it shortens the life of the fence by introducing too much moisture. What to do other than clip away and be diligent on digging out those pesky runners!
