Good morning Amanda! I can’t believe it’s nearly Labor Day! It’s been a very hot summer at the shore here in Jersey-real feel of the 100’s many days
Anyway I luv ya girl! ❤
❤🎃🎃
The surprise rain made my day!
I can’t wait to see all of this progression in your garden
Loving the rain. 🌧🌧☔
💐
I really enjoy it when you share your garden strategy and your growth as a gardener. 👍
Hi Amanda, I’m in Zone 6 North Jersey. Great idea to start seedlings for fall, a project needed indoors during overly humid stifling days here. Thanks
Looking forward to your fall front porch!
So appreciate the reminder that beautiful gardens are built over time. I am rebuilding an overgrown garden. It has taken me 2 solid years just to get major areas semi-controlles and on a maintenance schedule. And there's still more to tackle. The garden that lives in my head is just starting to peak out! This was a great reminder not to get down about my lack of "pretty."
Loved hearing your plans and the excitement you shared with us. The flowers are beautiful. Like you stated the foundation is probably the most important to making what you plant survive. Ive had beautiful trees die and about 30 mature Indian Hawthorns die when we had the hard freeze a few years ago. Which I haven’t replaced with anything. Kinda takes the wind out of your sails. Looking forward to seeing your videos. And especially the Halloween 🎃 experience. 🥳
Love that you got rain!! The "before " pictures were awesome. I agree that the French drain hurt the willow. They prefer wet roots and wet soil. Your idea of honeysuckle on the lattice of shade garden is great, but will eventually overcome and hide the crystals. Morning glories would do the same. Both are fast growing. Maybe consider not doing the crystals on lattice but design something in another area like the new arch, near the willow side of yard. Somewhere, that would catch sun to make beautiful designs on house or yard. Just some thoughts. Can't wait to see Halloween projects. I like creepy and scary designs. I think it is funny – you like witchy and Elisa likes cutsey. Both are so different, even your handwriting! ⚾️

WOW your seedling plants are amazing! Way to go! You made me envious and shamed for being a long time pseudo experienced gardener who has never had your degree of success with seeds.
Actually, just listening to all your future plans made me tired😅. We're having cooler temps here in 9b Houston near the coast. We've had nicely behaved rains come through and overcast days but my brain hasn't come out of it's burnout mode just yet. Think I need a bona-fide cool front that drives out the humidity to reset my brain and body.
In the meantime, watching your videos is inspiring me to think what I'd like to do, to move around, to give up on, and to swear I won't continually try to plant and keep alive, so thanks again!

I've been working on my front shade garden for 20years and back sun garden for 3 years and both are always a work in progress, love your channel, alot of great information
Your coleus are like 4 times as big as mine. Mine have been sooo slow to grow. I am in the process of hardening off my seedlings (kept it simple, marigolds, petunias and coleus). I have really enjoyed the growing process but I am Def ready for them to be outside. Lol
Hi, nice video. Those coleus that you grew are so beautiful! Love listening and learning.

Yes, gardens are built over time. I've been working on mine for 35 years and it was a 25 year overgrown mess when I started. My fall plans are to divide a lot of perennials, redo my containers, move some shrubs to different parts of the garden, and fall maintenance.
❤❤❤❤❤
I feel like I just had a mini history lesson in garden building. So cool. 😁 Thank you. 👏👏👏👏
Congratulations on getting rain. Here in Lewisville we are sooo dry. We haven’t seen rain for a long long time!
I always look forward to your Halloween porch decorating videos 🙂
Fall goals: Remove stringy sedum that only looks good in spring. Move spirea that is too big for front entrance. Install pop-up emitter for unsightly downspout drain extender near back door.
Your Halloween decor style sounds like mine. Looking forward to seeing it.
