12 Gardens & the Wisdom They Shared 

Lovely to see spring far ‘down under’ while we battle cold and snow.

Omgoodness, he's grown up so quickly!😊❤

Lovely garden,i think you’ll get a fabulous garden yourself…

We use cardboard with a layer of compost or bark on top to suppress weeds. I also grew Valerian from seed last year and have several plants now. Good luck! 😊

Aww little Reece is growing up so fast he’s changed again, I hope the house is moving along and your in for Christmas good luck 😊

Wow. You look great

I enjoyed your video immensely. Please share a tour of your garden 😃

nice selection and well presented, thanks

Very interesting a nice change from the house build keep it up all good

Careful with sorrel it is a member of the dock family. Very deep tap roots and will take over your garden. I have been digging it out of the ground ever since I planted it. It is every where I didn’t want it. I would suggest keep it in a pot.

This was nice to see. Good to see the summer at you, here in Norway it is winter and real cold. -20 to day. brrrr

Great video! And great to see you again 😊 speaking of weeds that boy of yours is growing like one !!!😂❤😊

That was very interesting. I may have to go to there some time. Shelter belts do help. We are a very small section but have fences around us so this has created a micro climate for us. Many thanks Annamieke from Kawerau

Hello Karen, good to see you again. I hate gardening, it's not my thing. But Lina loves it, she's got green fingers, LoL. Takes all kinds i guess. Bob.

A lot of great gardens! Looks like you’re doing your homework to create a flourishing garden.

You will eventually have weeds with cardboard and bark chips but they are much easier to pull when they do sprout up. Even if there is a truly impermeable layer underneath, weeds happen in the decomposing chips. Ask me how I know😅

Haha Reese! Our 2 and a half year old grandie (Layla) far prefers carry to walk

Now have caught up with your travels How is the house coming along

A mix of edible and ornamental would be my choice ,finding plants that are complimentary .

Looks good but i hope you had the permission of the owners to go onto their properties
