Creating a Magical Courtyard Garden: part 2  

Agree on the music...I talk to and stroke the plants as well and talk to the lizards scampering through the foliage...awesome choice on the figs btw, I have 2 trees in my yard and they are both fruiting, love their leaves. Wish I could grow lavender, but Florida is just too hot, it's a real chore figuring out what will grow well here, but I've learned a lot in 2 years, lots of native plant nurseries and plants for permiculture food growing, Seminole pumpkins and sweet potatoes are on the menu, but so much is edible and fun to discover...you always put me in the mood to go back out for another hour of the scorching heat...then back in to the air conditioning...have a great weekend as well...!

Chip your designs are brilliant. Love the rusty obelisks and corrugated pots really lend themselves to a rustic but masculine look. Beautiful. "It rust we must trust," See you and Gipsy next time.

Sitting with my tea & toast, I watched this early morning inspiration for my newly designed pebble and container garden. After preparing the plot, and sorting out the surface area, I am frozen into inactivity, I have been dithering about choosing plants. I'm calling it The Japanese Garden, but every day it gets a new title. I'm starting with a lovely acer,. Not just because it's Japanese, but because I love them. But I think having a theme is getting in the way as it's discounting plants I absolutely love, and also limiting the number of plants I can have. So I'm throwing the theme ( and all titles) out the window. Thank you, Chip, for this much-needed shot in the arm. I think I'm off to buy a fig.

La feuille de figuier a un parfum extraordinaire🎉. Ses racines aussi… dans le sud de la France on évite de le planter près d’un mur, il déformerait ses fondations. Mais je crois comprendre que dans ce cas présent, il n’est pas destiné à prendre toute son ampleur ? En ce qui concerne la lavande , effectivement elle vieilli mal; mais une bonne taille annuelle,à la fin de la floraison, en arrondi, en évitant lede tailler dans le « bois » de l’année pour qu’elle puisse refleurir, est une bonne technique de durabilité. De plus elle se bouture facilement et cela fait une bonne réserve de remplacement sans surcoût !😊 J’aime beaucoup ce style de jardin que vous avez créé, du charme, facile à entretenir, avec un esprit méditerranéen ❤

Thanks Chip! What a beautiful courtyard you are creating! I love it! And the cat is the icing on the cake… we had a pure black cat a few years ago. We called her PussPuss. She’s gone now… and we miss her. 😎🇨🇦

So beautiful, what magical artwork, thought l was alone loving leaves, will never let you go chip,❤

Just beautiful, you’re a true visionary Chip. 🌳🌳

so happy to see your video today, I looked for it!

The obelisks add height and interest to the courtyard. Love the planters and the plants. Looks fab chip 🌳🌳🌳🍀🍀🌾🌾🌾🐈‍⬛

Awe....you have done it again! When I watch you create it is like poetry. Love the music!

Chip, you are my inspiration, everything you do is so beautiful.

WOW looks fab!!!

Fig! Inspired idea ❤ If the lavender doesn't work out , you can always switch ... The contrast of leaf texture and colour is great. Wish my garden looked like that.😊 Will start talking nicely to the plants...and give them a good shower to music. Thanks Chip

I always love watching your videos.
