    Great Video!. It perked my imagination as to what I could do in my own garden. I look forward to your future videos.

    Excellent tips Kevin, just in time. I was about to spend about $100 on weed mat. Now I'll be trawling the backs of shops and moving companies for boxes.

    I always LOVE your videos & emails. Knowing that you also have someone special in your life who needs to be gluten free – like me – makes your videos & emails top priority to read. Today, you answered a question I had which is Are carrot greens good to eat? I've been learning many new greens smoothie recipes and thought I'd try the carrot greens. You're always great Kevin!

    Kevin, thank you for demystifying so many beautiful and practical activities. I took your advice on "sheet mulching" after weeding to keep weeds in check. The newspapers were free from friends and the mulch was on sale. Future project is to make my own compost! I'll try to send before/after pictures. Thanks for the money saving tips and inspiration! Really enjoyed this herb garden video and am ready for a house tour!

    Kevin, Love your vids and really appreciate them since we are in the same garden zone 4. Great ideas. Great narration. I think and hope you will be very successful! Bisous!

    Kevin, do you have a recipe for the chive blossom vinegar? I would love to know how to make it. Thanks, and love your herb garden.

    Thank you for sharing how you started the garden with cardboard and newspaper. (And about the pea gravel). I built what we call a "lasagna" garden several years ago. Put down cardboard and newspaper, then layers of compost and soil. I planted native Idaho plants in the garden and rarely have to weed! Much better than spraying something chemical to kill the grass, or even to have to dig it up!

    love love love your herb garden!!!! I have been dreaming of making one but we keep moving (sad face). the last 2 years I have been working hard on landscaping the surrounds of the house, where I keep my vegetables and flowers (edible gardening). starting this year, am going back to container gardening just in case my husband decides to move house again. I have been scouting online including youtube for inspiration on how to design a container garden. I haven't found one yet but I'm not giving up. hope to watch more of your videos next time I'm off 🙂 more power to you!

    Your videos are sooo inspiring, Kevin! Thank you so much. I love your historic home and the formal herb garden.

    I love the idea of planting the boxwood tips,. Even though my style is more Cottage and my Potager is usually quite wild and crazy, I admire the formality and elegance of your herb garden. Love the old house an all the outbuildings. Nice to have found your channel whilst looking for milk jug winter planting!

    I love the formal European style of your herb gardens. I have one that's gotten away from me, the bonus being that the rosemary is blooming. My regret, and I knew better, was not burying the mint in a pot with a curled rim. Part of the reason it's out of control is that it's too small as a 5×5 to hold 2 lavender, 2 oregano, chinese chives, rosemary, mint, sage and basil. I've wanted a lavender boarder instead of boxwood so I hope to get decent propagation next year. I've been more focused on perennial items such as berries and a mini orchard since we bought this place.

    GORGEOUS garden! Thank you for putting the plain pine board thing into perspective. Lasting almost 10 years is remarkable! How do you keep the weeds out of your pea gravel? How do you maintain it like keeping leaves out? I'm guessing you started with cardboard. I did too & laid 6" of wood chips. Not many weeds but where they've come through I do not know what to do. Cut them short, pull the woodchips to the side & reapply another layer of cardboard? I love the crunch sound of walking on pea gravel and yours is prettier than my woodchips too. Thank you!

  30. Jacqueline Lee

    Have you ever tried edging your beds with chives? I saw that somewhere else and am wondering if it really works.

  32. Pennie Reese

    So pretty! I'm jealous. But I love how you got that arbor at such a steal! I just repurposed some Gatorade bottles as planters today. So fun! Gardening is the best!

    Such a good job explaining the herb garden. And such good info and tips, like shopping in September for garden paraphernalia. I really enjoyed the garden tour.

  37. Lisa Ray

    Thank you so much for this video! I am always looking for ideas for raised gardens. Your garden is really nice and I love the idea of boxwood propagation around the perimeter of the planting beds. I'm going to give it a try with mine and also put them along the tree line for some nice visual lines. Thank you again! I am so happy I found your channel.
    😘💖🙏
