If the growth rate of your Magnolia is less than the expected rate in your area, them maybe you should check out the roots, they may have problems you need to take care of.
I love your “loose” garden style. It’s so relaxing. Nothing kills a peaceful gardening experience quicker than the stress of trying to keep it perfect.
Yeah I like this kind of loose gardening to. This is what I think I have gong in my garden. Too many gardens not enough time to weed. I just started posting videos of my garden in Virginia. I'm not sure where she is. Nice hills tho that's for sure.
I used to spend every spring, summer and fall in my gardens and it made me so happy! I’m 70 now and my arthritis has caused me to retire from spending so much time in nature. But I can truly say....it brought me great contentment and peace and I treasure the memories!!!
I have just started, 35, inspired by Elliott and it's my favorite part of the day. I truly will never stop. I'm sorry you retried. Try buying already established plants. I love my plants more than people. Lol
Hi Myrna. I'm 73 & have arthritis too, so I know what you mean. I have found some nutrients that really help me. For years I took OTC pain meds, every 3 or 4 hours, until I learned that they can do some damage to our organs, so did some research. Also, I'd met someone who'd recommended taking some form of Chondroitin, which I took with reasonable improvement for a few years, which you might get help from. Then eventually, I settled on a very good combination for myself - which anyone could take, even without arthritis, to help with aches & inflammation, & even just to reduce stress. It's like a miracle combination, really. Now I only rarely take OTC meds, like if I've overdone things & need something for an aching back or a pain in my once badly wrenched shoulder, or the like. What I have found helped me with very painful finger joints - which used to become inflamed, red, hot to the touch, & swollen. Pain pills can only help for a few hours. MSM helps with reducing inflammation & much more. It's good to take for anyone, to improve the body's ability to cope with life's stresses - physical & emotional. I also take HA - Hyaluronic Acid to help actually heal & rejuvenate the disks. I take a good multi, almost daily, & MSM & HA together, usually every few days, but at 1st I'd recommend taking daily so they can help long enough to begin to heal / rebuild your joint tissues. If I go about 2 weeks without them, my finger joints start hurting again, reminding me I have arthritis in a few finger joints. Imagine...after being on OTC meds for years, which would wear off after a few hours, & it didn't heal the source of the pain at all. Now I go for days without pain, even if I forget to take them, but it's probably better to be more consistent, for best results. Maybe these could help you too. It freed me from years of chronic pain & limitation. If you try these, buy good brands to insure good quality. Do your research & see what you think. I've never had any negative side effects. I've seen MSM recommended if you've had a trauma, a bad argument, lost a loved one or a job, had a heart attack or surgery, a car accident , etc, as it helps protect us from the stress that comes with life events. They both help heal in their own ways. HA actually helps to rehydrate the disks between the joints so they are plumped up as they should be to help prevent that bone on bone pain when we do not keep ourselves hydrated & as we age. I do still eat salt which can dehydrate but only rarely have alcohol. I'm more of a tea & coffee drinker. I guess coffee can be dehydrating too, especially if instant, but I don't drink it often, & make perked when I do. I'd avoid artificial sweeteners. Too much sugar, & especially over processed white flour often are a cause of inflammation, so look at making changes in your diet if that seems appropriate. Not being in pain all the time is like being given your life back! Hope this helps. "Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is also called dimethyl sulfone, DMSO2, methyl sulfone, and many other names. MSM is an organic sulfur found in fruits, vegetables, grains, and milk as well as the urine of animals. It is an oxidation product of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and a source of sulfur for producing the amino acids methionine and cysteine. MSM is a water soluble white, odorless, crystalline compound that contains 34% elemental sulfur. Methylsulfonylmethane reduces pain, inflammation, and allergic reactions. It also has wound healing, dermatologic, and exercise performance increasing effects." www.medicinenet.com/methylsulfonylmethane_msm-oral/article.htm#what_are_the_uses_for_msm_herbal_supplements HA is Hyaluronic Acid. It helps heal joints, & anything else in your body. It is now being used as an ingredient in rejuvenation creams, & in surgeries too. A friend told me a friend of hers who was about to have a knee surgery had been given HA injections directly into her knee joint by her Dr. to help prepare for the surgery. You can get more detailed info on HA here: www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1062/hyaluronic-acid
Cheryl Anderson I read your comment to Myrna and I to have arthritis and love to garden. I appreciate you taking the time to deliver such an informative answer to Myrna’s pain. I will do the research and check this out for myself as well. Anything to help with pain and not take OTC meds. My husband and I did the Keto foods for a couple of years and completely removed sugar and breads (heavy Carbs) from our diet and it was amazing how good I felt, no joint pain or stiffness after getting all that sugar out of my system. But I have allowed to let sugar creep back into my diet. You know additions to sugar is a hard habit to break. But I have promised myself that I will break the habit and return to health eating again.
I've never Seen as much rain as this year in Wales UK. Monty Don is our National Favourite gardener So unusual to hear about so many cottage plants outside of UK Makes me appreciate my chaotic garden x
I would love just a slow, long walk through of these gardens...so amazing, and lush. Something early morning or late evening, just the nature noises and sights of the beauty you've curated. Wow. Thank you so much for sharing!
It’s great to hear that you watch Monty Don in the US as Gardeners World is my favourite weekly programme here in the UK. I too have a beautiful garden in Somerset, Uk and during lockdown it has been our sanctuary. We’ve had a long hot summer too with very little rain and our summers have been like this now with climate change so I’m having to adjust my planting to suit these conditions.
I love the mix of plants, and how your kids sprout up in the middle of things and mingle with the plants and creatures. Your videos are always a pleasure.
I love that, your In-perfect garden lines is what makes your garden so Perfect. Your gravel pathways all lead to another beautiful area. It’s like the Secret Garden. Your garden truly looks like it’s been there for many years so Beautiful. I always look forward to your videos. I love that your so down to earth. Have a wonderful week.🌸🌷🦋🌈
I'm like, next year I'm planting that; I'm planting that..and those, oooo yes and them! So nice. Beautiful space, beautiful plants, loved the tour. 👌💜👍
I am from England and my passion is looking at cottage gardens. Your cottage garden far surpasses many I have seen. You have an amazing eye for plants but better than that you feel the beauty within you and thats what creates your spaces xxx
This is my style of gardening, I love the wild, natural feeling of it. My husband is a general contractor so he loves straight lines and I have a hard time explaining to him what I mean by a cottage garden lol
I adore the look of your gardens. It’s amazing how quickly my own gardens have developed in just two years. Please please share mores of how you design them. Thanks
It's a wonder to me how you have managed to turn a place that's considered High Desert into this lush jungle bursting with life and color and beauty everywhere. And a stream...and now a pond! Wow! Certainly not what I would have dreamed possible in a place that's crazy cold in winter, crazy hot in summer and super dry as well. (I'm glad you have a good well!) You all must have incredible imaginations to be able to envision what things will look like after the changes are put into place as well as an incredibly good work ethic to get 'er done! What a lovely tour...thoroughly enjoyable! Well presented, good camera work and editing, and your gardens are absolutely stunning. Thank you. Such a pleasure!
This video was so relaxing...and your gardens are very lovely. I like the cottage style, everything growing into each other and melding..colors and textures. I like the controlled wildness of it. It reminds me of a meadow. You live in a beautiful area. Thank you for the tour.
You have a very beautiful garden! I was stressed with work today. So in order to de-stress, I just decided to watch your video. By the end of it, I was calm and relaxed. Your voice and style are very therapeutic!
I had a pergola my husband built and I put wisteria at both ends of it. It was there for 14 years when I moved away and we never had any problems. I'm sure as time passed we might have had to replace a piece here and there but I loved it and it was so worth it.
I've seen this with other photographers too., & also felt frustrated, as they move the camera so fast I can't see anything in focus....Ugh. They may not be as nutty as we are about seeing the plants in focus, & up close for more detail.
I’ve been listening to the podcast just waiting for more videos (I don’t currently have Instagram..I’ve been working on a little thing called contentment and cutting social media out for a bit has done wonders) 😍 you and Angela are my favorite content creators by far. You’ve changed my life!!
Love this video ,you are such an inspiration to me ,sometimes people dont understand out type of gardening ,but it's the most beautiful ,and calming ,the love of growing flowers ,and vegetables together is so lovely and rewarding ,it always makes me feel close to the heart of God.!Thank you love you and your sweet family.
I'm a writer, and all I want to do is just sit in your shade garden and type away. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing both footage and the names of flowers that work well in various spaces. It helps generate ideas for my own shady places. God bless you and your family.
Thank you, Shaye. I love the garden tours. Trying to create my own after years of dreaming. At 65 I sometimes think I’ll throw in the towel, but some dreams are hard to let go of. The other day was one of those days and by the end of the day when it cooled down I was planning again. 😄 Harvey said just take it one area at a time, but I want it all NOW. I guess that’s where the patience comes in 🥴 I like the softer color pallets as well. However, when we go to the nursery it seems like Harvey picks out the warmer colors. I can’t tell him No because he rarely says anything, so, I will plant and be happy because it pleases him and pulls in the bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. I figure it’s okay for him to add his little tweak here and there to the painting. After all, he did build me that fabtabulous greenhouse and put in timed tube irrigation. Thank you for the inspiration. 😃
Beautiful video as usual. A gardener told me once that the first year you plant perennials they weep, they second year they creep and the third year they leap. It's very true. I would love more slow walks down the paths showing each side.
I love your cottage gardens. I use to have one at our last place, but right now, we have no flower gardens. We recently retired and have lots of catch ing up to do in our yard. We were away working for 7 years so that is why. I am excited to start collecting plants from my neighbours and buying some for next years plantings. Thank you for your videos. There is nothing better than making a latte and curling up and watching you.
I love, love, love your videos!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your home, gardens, cooking and family with us! I look forward to seeing your content so much!
I just found you when Jennifer L. Scott interviewed you! I love your garden! I too have a cottage garden; full of roses, Hydrangeas, Lilies, etc. it's growing in wild abandon! I don't use any herbicides either and it's starting to be a little hard to keep up with it all (we've been here 26 years) but thankfully my husband is retired now, and we work in it a lot. I also love Monty Dawn!
I have to hand water a lot of places here in southern Calif. Yes, ten minutes a day but city water. The other day, I stepped into the front yard and all I could smell was chlorine from the city water. When it does rain here, the plants just explode with growth. Thank you for the lovely tour. xxx
I just discovered your channel today and it makes me so happy, the cooking, your chill, the house is to be lived in and the children doing there own stuff, but you can feel and see you guys are there if they need anything or want to share a story. I think this is how a family and a home should be, and I am in love. Greatings from the Netherlands
This is the first video I watched from your channel.🌸 I’ve been watching the rest throughout the day. Such a charming family and self sustainable lifestyle, I love it!!
I just found your channel. You have a beautiful garden. If you can get your magnolia to mature you'll love the flowers. My mom and step dad planted one on the south side of their house in Texas about 20 years ago and now it's so tall that they almost can't reach the lower flowers without a ladder, but they're huge and smell wonderful.
More than likely because they aren't in bloom. So it would just be vines. Grant you, it still would be nice to see, but when they are not blooming, you wouldn't think about it!
I gave up after a few mins because it was just talking and not touring or showing anything, got a bit impatient :| The start of it literally had me dozing off.
@@angelkotilainen no content is suited for every type of viewer. This is definitely my cup of tea. Slow paced and peaceful. If it irritates you go somewhere else, it's that simple. I love this channel! From the first watch
True, I'm sure it is a beautiful garden just from the few glimpses we got. But that is the main weakness of this video piece. Much description and emotional leading without the associated visuals. Instead the camera is pointed mostly on her. We get to view a few close-up frames without their orientation to the landscape. It was too frustrating to watch this.
U did an excellent job giving your tour. I recently had to move away but my previous home where I had 12 huge gardens and had been working them for 18 years. I miss them so much and I hope u never have to leave your beautiful gardens.
I just trim our wisteria, and I've never had a problem. If you have a shady side of the house, a climbing hydrangea is one of my favorites! The way they climb, the lacey blossoms, and the leaves are the most elegant thing!
Hy me love to much a rustic cottage gardens, and I tried to make the mine. I love this white flower, I sure that is umbelifera family, but I don't know what concrete specie is!!!
Your gardens are looking lovely! Thank you so much for showing each of them as you did. Such an enjoyable video. Cottage gardens are my favorite! I’m also really enjoying your podcast with Angela! Thanks again for sharing...looking forward to more 😊👩🌾❣️🌻🌸🌿
Wonderful! Simple gorgeous. It would of been neat to see the before shots of the homestead as you were explaining how it used to be and now the after shots. You sure have come along way! Well done!!
That's my style too. I love the layed back cozy, comfort over sharp hard lines and severe perfection most people tend these days. Although I love a zen garden I may incorporate its not the only way. My mom and I would make ponds I managed 3 it was fun. I definitely love a purposeful garden to strol through, that's my goal. What a blessing. I also hate the idea of mowing and acre of yard, I'd much rather make it useful and be an environment for bees, butterflies ect and for berries and fruit. I want a plum tree for my hubby. Berries for my kids and grape arbor/pears for me. 💙
Thank you for the lovely garden tour. A little slice of Heaven! We just built a large carport to the walk-in basement. Your entry is giving me ideas for planting around it. Also the Hollyhocks were my grandmother's favorite. I have them at our main farm and will plant some at our house.I did not realize the term for mixing flowers, herbs and vegetable plants together was a Protege' Garden. I just referred to mine as an unstructured garden. Enjoy all your different gardens and projects this summer! Thank you again. ~ Diane

What a beautiful garden, you remind me of myself when I was young with young children in Australia, I loved my garden. Now I am gardening in California and we have the hot summers and the cold winters and no rain. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I’m a new subscriber.
What a beautiful tour💕 thank you so much . I love the colors..the sweet glimpses of your littles..the entryway and courtyard with that beautiful blue door. I have enjoyed my small but beautiful little garden we have this year due to you and the Parisienne farm girl . Thank you. Nancy
I love the way you garden. I’m taking notes of your information about certain plants you like self-seed. My garden is a work in progress that got delayed because of an injury, but I’m up and about now desperately wanting to visit the nurseries. Thank you for sharing your sweet and beautiful garden. South Carolina Girl.😊🇱🇷
I like that you have a chandelier in your greenhouse.😊 I don't think I would ever have thought to do that, but I'm sure it really makes it nice to work in there in the evenings!
This is a great guide. It's nice to learn about how you're developing the land into a garden. We're going to start sending our customers to this video so they can learn more about what it takes to develop their own land.
