104😮😲!! OMG. Linda I hope your keeping cool, I guess the answer is to stay in doors. Can't wait to see the back garden progress. Sending love from Rosie O from Devon England 💖🤗🇬🇧
I have a question. I've never seen or heard of 'Boxwood Basil'. Did you start it by seed or a starter plant? Also, is it edible? And finally, what is it's botanical name? I'd love to grow it. I'm in zone 9B
Thank you Linda! Love, love, love your show. Kudos to Stuart too! ❤
I was surprised at your comment about the hottest July. It has not been that way here and we live on the Southern border of Michigan, Southwest Michigan.
But your garden is gorgeous!
I'm really sick of Summer. I live in North Louisiana and it has been absolutely totally miserable for the last 4 weeks. We've had heated advisories and the humidity has been like 80% and the heat index has been 110 and up. This past few days we had a slight break with less humidity. Other than that you cannot do anything except early in the morning. I really need some fall.
Looking forward to Sunday
Wow ! I really enjoyed this video. Thank you Linda.
Linda, Would you share/discuss the 1.) TYPE of SOIL and DEPTH and FERTILIZER that was added when the garden was created last Spring? Its just amazing how fast everything has grown. I have discovered IF I liquid feed just before a good soaking rain I get double results from Mother Nature's Rain Water Feeding.
** In addition, do you feel that your heavy Late Spring rains after the garden was installed is the reason for such grand results or from a constant drip and irrigation system or results from constant regularly liquid feeding? My Thank you!
Linda, the cottage garden is wonderful. In anticipation of your garden journal coming out in November,have you thought of posting a list of the plants you have used? I note the names of the plants in your video and research their ability for my zone 6b area. I also try to use my local nurseries and Canadian seed and bulbs stores. I have started my first boxwood topiary . Wish me luck.❤
North west Arkansas- one more week of dangerous heat, next Sunday is supposed to be much cooler!!!
First year garden……simply amazing
What a treat❤ Brilliant, Linda❤❤❤
Pretty much normal summer here along southern shore of Lake Ontario in New York State except for the days ruined by the smoke from Canadian wildfires. Better we deal with just smoke than actual fires!
Are your stop signs only a suggestion?
Over the past two weeks we hit a daytime high of 112 and a nighttime low of 76 in St George, UT.
So magical! I'm in SC, the humidity is like breathing water today! Longing for fall! Oh, a rock in the birdbath is great for butterflies!
You mentioned wanting your roses to have space to breathe. A ground cover that has performed amazing on our sun baked slope and is gorgeous yellow for much of the spring is Weihenstephaner gold sedum. It does not prevent all weeds but it’s show is so fabulous, it’s worth it. I like to use it between plants they need to breathe. Sometimes it blooms at the same time as the creeping phlox which is stunning. It somehow survived negative degrees this winter and a 100 degree harsh summer last year.
I love Linda's cottage tour videos!
I bought my first agapanthus this year and mine are not doing well. They are blue and I think I put to many plants in my garden because they are under the other plants and are not blooming. They were close to my asters and the asters are larger than they were last year and they are lying in between the asters and some other plants. When I bought the agapanthus they were beautiful. I’m in NC and I think I’m a 8 or 7. It has been very hot this week. The humidity is high and it is bringing the temperatures seem even hotter. Your garden is beautiful and I have been following you since you started the garden. I’m very impressed. Pat in North Carolina
Linda I love your garden and can't wait to see the backyard project. I love the cleome. Would you mind talking about how you planted them and if you fertilize them.
Linda, what a treat. You have accomplished so much in such a short time. Please leave the echinacea heads alone for the goldfinches.
I live in zone 9b low AZ desert where temps are 117 for days on end without any rain. Everything is struggling and burnt even with watering. When the weather gets nicer I will decide what plants made it and plant more of those
such a lush look, wish you were my neighbour
Your Garden Design layout is just STUNNING Linda! I imagine EVERY morning you can't wait to peek out your windows then to get outside, that's how I start my day.
From Jakarta, Indonesia here (I've mentioned before) and with tropical garden but I do love the pace of your video with your commentary and taking the camera with you because I can focus more tbh. And now, for me, white agapanthus soon as flowering plant to be in my garden. Thanks to you 😊
Good morning Linda I’ve watched sone of your videos especially ones since you’ve moved. My son lives south of you off 44 anyway my wife and I live in fairhope , Alabama and we are looking for ideas or help on our back yard. Anyway I can send you photos and maybe get some ideas from you. Thanks. Art
In South Africa, it is freezing cold with snow on the mountains it is winter here, and the coldest in many years.
WE HAVE NOTHING BUT RAIN THIS MONTH JULY IN WALES, LOVE YOUR GARDEN, PLEASE SEND SOME SUNSHINE PLEASE❤
I guess I'm the outlier then — I've had low 20sC, rain for weeks, and little sun. Zone 5. It was supposed to be sunny all week (but 25C) but it's already rained this morning. Both this summer and last summer have been very cool. I had frost warnings in June and delayed planting. BTW your yard/garden is gorgeous. I wish I could get mine looking this good. That's why I'm watching.
What is the name of the trees with multiple trunks and white bark.
Your garden looks wonderful, despite the heat. One of the best things you did was to put in trees and large shrubs. It visually cools your yard as well as actually lowering temps even with their small shapes of shade. A real oasis.
Beautiful tour… Linda your garden reminds me of our Daughter in laws wedding bouquet this past April … whites, bluish foliage, purple flowers and hints of pinks… aww inspiring ❤
Looking fabulous, wow! Our weather forecast has been falling below what is predicted by apparently 2 degrees, it never seems to get as hot as predicted and here in California, while we do get hot, it is summer after all it's nothing out of the ordinary. I would say that the hardest gardening issue for me has been pinworms the petunias are gone. Keep up the amazing work on your garden.😊
Ohh Linda, I love your garden so much, that I keep re-watching this and other videos. You continue to inspire me with my own garden, and I thank you for that. We are having very warm weather for the middle of winter here in Qld Australia.The days have been between 17-25 C. However the night temperatures are very cold; close to freezing on some of our nights. It is the strangest weather. You are having heat waves in many areas of the US. and other parts such as east Oregon are experiencing more rainfall than usual. It has to be climate change. It affects my seed germination during our QLD winter months.
I love your videos. I always learn something. Our climate in AL is very similar to yours. Not as extreme but close enough. I especially learned pretty heat resistant plants. I bought the amethyst agapanthus, plan to get indigo frost next time. Hope I can find it.
You would never know it’s a new garden. Gorgeous!
Okay the bee 🐝 scared the shit out of me😅
perfect garden, i started redesigning my back yard as you were planting your front… i had a deadline of june to finish,, now i too am in maintenance and watering, i am cutting 25 zinnias everyother day for bouquets. i gathered a bouquet for my neighbor in the passing of her husband. she loved the fact i grew them from seed…a garden gives love and comfort to many people in different ways.. blessings aa
