Hey Monica, I live in Vancouver Wa and we get a lot of rain. Today is perfect at 71 degrees and I know people will think this odd but I hate summer. It’s the heat that gets me. I love flowers as well so I plant in early spring then again in June. I love geraniums and I follow the thriller, the filler and the spiller when planting my pots and window box. Our patio is my sanctuary because it’s serene and peaceful. I love to read out there while I admire my surroundings! Congrats on the new job and I’m glad it’s something you enjoy!
I don't think it's odd at all. I'm in the southeast and summer is miserable. Triple digit temps, high humidity, and all the creepy crawlies. Give me fall and winter!
Congrats on new job Monica! It’s a full time job keeping our patio’s clean with all these windy days we’ve had!😂Love seeing your backyard refresh video’s!🌵☀💕💕
I am in Florida and it is already hot and humid! I love roses and any kind of bulb!! I love your videos and I hope the note finds you in a good place!! Your patio is beautiful! The chairs around your table are gorgeous!!
In Texas we have had alot of rain and it has been unusually hot this early in the season. I live in the country and have lots of trees and so I buy some inpatients and begonias for color and shade also geraniums and lots of ferns and spider plants. Everything goes in the green house in the winter. I have perennials of lantanas and variety of bulbs that bloom too. I can’t keep cushions outside because the squirrels make nests from the stuffing 😂 I do have throw pillows but I recycle the stuffing when needed and make new covers from fabric from hobby lobby or Walmart I know keeping up outdoors is alot of work and using a pressure washer for sidewalks and house/windows/furniture works well even with Dawn soap! Il I’ll check out the pool cleaner but we get get a ton of leaves and acorns!! Thanks for sharing your decorating videos
Hiya from Dublin Ireland we have had rain for months. Sunny last couple of days which is great got to do some painting n gardening. But thus after rain is back with lots of thunder n lightning our dog is terrified 😨. I love my roses n tupils ❤
I am actually considering buying faux flowers this year. There are some really realistic looking flowers for sale. I live in southwestern Wisconsin. Today it is 80 degrees, the warmest day of the year so far.
Hello from Casper Wy. Our weather has been pretty mild this spring. My fav flowers to plant here have been zinnias (annuals here) and day lillies (perennials here). I do plant others but those are my two favorites. Because of our snow, power washing is a must each year but I do hose down everything before I can do that in the summer. Ryobi blowers are terrific, aren't they? I completely agree about downsizing. Truly helps not only the eyes, but the spirit. Best wishes!
I live in Australia and am currently in autumn season with alot of rain lately. I plant plants to refresh the outdoor Ares front and back. I'm a new subscriber and like decorating and propergatind plants to have more of one plant.
I live in Meridian, Idaho. We moved from So. California 3 years ago into a new build home that has a large backyard with all grass. We’ve been working on the yards since we moved here to make them feel more cozy. I always love your outdoor refresh videos. Congratulations on the new job!
Greetings, Monica. Wonderful patio and yard area. In spring/summer we love to plant yellow and orange Lantana and nasturtiums. How is Rocco, your magnificent German Shepherd? We miss seeing him enjoying his beautiful backyard!
Wisconsin, 80 degrees today, but that doesn’t mean that will stay! Hoping so! I plant geraniums every year, pansies and petunias! Love this season of life!❤
Northern Illinois is still up & down temperature-wise, and we've had an enormous amount of rain. My absolute favorite plants are asparagus ferns, they don't care if it's hot or cold, wet or dry, shady or sunny, they just grow. Your backyard looks great. And congrats on the new job. I hope it's something you enjoy. Happy Mothers Day!
So pretty!! I'm in Oklahoma. It's storming of and on today, but being in Oklahoma, we're always weather aware being in tornado alley! It's in the 70's today. ❤
It seems like a really harsh way of down size minimizing by throwing away, maybe a family who doesn’t have much might want a few pillows for their back yard, I don’t want to sound so harsh but it is really hard now in this day and age to save money for things that are special. A few Pillows might be special for others who are just getting by. Congratulations on your job I hope you enjoy it. The back yard turns out really nice. I live in Southern California and here in california the white iceberg roses do very well and they are sure blooming right now.
I guess I should not have assumed but you did put them in the trash can, it wasn’t meant to be unkind, I was just saying that everything is costing so much money these days and I find it so rewarding to give. I have been watching your channel for many years it was more of a friend talking with a friend. Sorry
