do you have Japanese beetles, bad! What do you use to combat? I am in South Carolina and they are bad. I've used milky spore but it does not seem to do much
What about outside the entry door of your Flower Shed near the cut flower garden……or in Your beautiful Hartley…….the novelty of that flower topiary seems to fit those spaces better……it doesnt make a show on its own tucked in with all those other competeing shrubs and such…..✌️💜💋
Laura’s joy! She’s spreading the joy worldwide.
I hope you harvest the elderberries when they are ready. If you don't want the berries and you have no one local that wants them I would love to have them. I will pay you for them and pay FedEx shipping on them. Please let me know
What if u painted irrigation boxes black like the mulch.
Am I the only one who doesn’t consider winter interest in my garden? I HATE winter. I don’t go outside and rarely even look out the window! What’s the point? I’m too busy ordering seeds and planning next summers space!😂
I think in the Middle where you have the picnic chairs and Boxwoods the middle there that you need to put in one of those 3 teir waterfall with a tub basin , like where you can throw in your little pennies and dimes make a wish would be very nice just a suggestion🥀😻💐🌺🌞🍂🌻🌻🌞🌞🌞😇😇😇
instead of the three tier you could use something like statues of a bunch of big birds something more unusual you know what I'm saying💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🌺🌺🌺🍂🍂🌻🌻🌻🌞🌞🌞
Hoselink at the Cut flower area – why not more Ely hose guides? Wouldn't those protect the small delicate plants?
haha keep up Mum you little helpers are very quick now
Re the shrinkable pocket hoses – over time they degrade in the sun, your intense heat might make it happen faster. (I’m in Ontario, Canada) Perhaps store it in or under a decorative pot or box?
You’ll have to make your space much smaller to gardening
To work around all of those boxwoods
It might look nice, but I wouldn’t recommend it
Looking so beautiful…
OCD!
Just a FYI. The hoses that shrink back up. Don’t like to sit in the sun. I’ve had all mine break if left in full sun. I invested it the metal slinky type hoses for my space.
I’ve been using suoertunias in my hanging baskets for years .. this year I’m noticing plants get light colored leafs with veins .. any ideas as to what would cause this ? Also have some plants getting large leaves with little blooms .
Laura you’re so cute. I love your enthusiasm. Not sure I’ve met anyone who gets excited about boxwoods. Ha!
Love the new boxwood flanking the benches and would equally love a boxwood border around the cut flower garden, maybe leaving the grassy openings/paths as they are now? I can envision each of the four outer corners planted with a sting arborvitae, reminiscent of the cypress of Provence, punctuating the straight lines of the boxwoods. Perhaps the center circle could use something metal? Maybe a big bottomless zinc planter with a fruit tree such as a quince? Or, I just watched an interview with Nick Mason and Bunny Guinness and He had the most beautiful round metal trellis/gazebo sort of thing with roses growing over it.
Sorry, I got all excited thinking about the possibilities! Whatever you decide to do will be beautiful.
Are you going to get front gate?
I had some of those fabric hoses and if you leave the water on them when you are not spraying they can blow up like a balloon and burst. Mine did. I hope yours are a lot better than the ones I had. MK
a half moon behind and on the sides would be beautiful!
Another satisfying episode 😊. Job well done
Love the flower topiary! The flowers underneath are beautiful!
You could get a hose pot to put the pocket hose in when not in use 💚
I have all kinds of experience with 100 foot pocket hoses lol. In case anyone is interested. We don’t have a spout in the front of the house… only one in the back and one on the side I don’t need it lol. I refuse to lug around a hundred foot real hose. We have had to replace them about every year. So far the best one I’ve had is the COPPER bullet. Gotta get the copper one. I’ve had it the longest and it still feels great. Hoping I can make it through fall. Just got another for the back. In my experience making sure you never leave water in it helps make it last longer, and keep it out of the sun. Of course store it inside over winter. Also, it could just be my house’s water pressure, but they don’t work well with Dramm wands. It empties all the water out too fast and shrinks the hose, and ends up coming out just like a hose. Could never get it adjusted right on either end. I had to give up on my dreams of Dramm wands and switch back to the guns they came with, which works great. My mom has the same issue at her newer house, so.
I love your attention to detail. The boxwoods look lovely. I wondered though, why you didn’t choose something like an Alberta spruce as it has the same growth habit (conical) but does fine in weather, cold, etc. and no tip burn or mites.
Hi Laura! After watching this beautiful video, I have an idea for your formal flower garden area! “The Chateau Diaries” found on youtube, has a central focus garden-The pergola is made with granite pillars have roses entwined with a domed iron pergola. It adds height and the bricked area can host a small seating area. There are flower beds surrounding it. You have wonderful ideas however you might like this also!
❤
Not related to the video!, but do you think you think you will continue the antiquing videos again with your mom ? I’ve been binging them because of how funny and entertaining you guys are together ❤
Laura, Your enthusiasm is so inspiring and contagious!
I wouldn’t put anything in the center of the circle in the cut flower garden. I think it looks clean and peaceful which is needed in the busy area.
Paint those boxes, the same color as your mulch or as close as you can get it and it’ll just disappear.
OMG.
Little Girl.
I love every video.
Been here for Ten years❤❤❤
