  1. My husband is the gardener and i am the flower lover. He plants the veggies, i plant the flowers. Hahahaha. Up until now, he wanted nothing to do with my flowers. We recently got 2 bee hives. Now all he wants to do is plant flowers. I'm currently trying to make bigger perennial beds. Our fields are contracted out to a local farmer for hay, so spreading a boat load of perennials seeds in it won't be happening. 😂😂
    We do love spring up here in PA. The air smells so sweet and delicious. All i want to do is be outside taking deep breaths in. ❀❀❀

  2. Absolutely beautiful!! If possible I would like to do this with my backyard. Abba Yah bless youđŸ™đŸ™â€

  3. Help! My area for a wildflower area has been taken over by Garlic Mustard. I’m told I have to PULL them out. At 82, I can’t do that & my property costs enough to just keep Lawn mowed, & beds cleaned out. Not sure if my Weedeater is powerful enough plus it is now flowering so seed will follow. Any ideas, folks? I won’t use “roundup” type sprays
recommended as Only Way to eliminate it. Can I cut it down, & hope’ it will dry enough to burn (create mounds) with small wood branches over top.

  4. I love to see meadows like that. I don't have one, partly because we have a horrible infestation of Japanese honeysuckle! It's terrible! But also because I try not to make the mowing overly complicated for my husband. One of the parks in our county seat has a nice little fenced-in meadow that I like to visit when the flowers are in bloom. I like to walk through and take pictures. I never see anyone else doing that. But one time, I treated myself on my birthday by doing that. Then I treated myself to ice cream!😂 Here in west central Ohio, we have Wild Stonecrop that grows in our woods. It looks a lot like Widows Cross, but the flowers are white. I dug up a little and planted it on a pretty rock beside the house. It grows and has covered the rock. So pretty when it blooms, but also after. It has pretty "leaves." I planted it in the shade, since that's where I often see it.

  5. Hello there dear kaye, oh my goodness me, everything is beautiful, I am muddled with too many words I want to put in the comments for you,,im have ing a hard time,not being able to get things done, bit depressing. But seeing my favourite yu tube lady, its so refreshing 😌. Oh your watering you,😅definitely refreshing. Im very proud of you and all your beautiful garden s,you worked so hard. Im just going to do what I can znd thats enough isn't it,,im sure that there must be many like this too..kaye your butterflies are delightful.the bird songs too..God bless you kaye and cats ,creatures, birds,lovely, thankyou, me and my garden girls 🐔. Xx

  6. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful meadow with us. Keeping the horsenettle and the snakes out is quite a challenge for sure. Hope you are able to get the rest of the garden planted with the break in weather. We are finally coming to East Tennessee next week for our wedding anniversary and I can't wait. Have a blessed weekend always..

  7. When I was growing up in Johnston county NC we called them briars, wicked for sure! I live in a subdivision, yuck, and so my back yard is the only place I can let be a meadow because it is fenced in. And I do let it be! Maybe one day meadows will be more popular than manicured lawns. I hope the younger generation will grab onto that. Thank you Kaye for your generosity of time and knowledge
