Happy Mother's Day, Linda...Your garden is growing great!

@annemariedelaney5295 4 месяца назад

Hello Linda, wishing you a relaxing Mother's day with enjoyable moments 💐🌼☕ Enjoyed all the sites you shared with us, those Amish sheds were magnificent. Please give Willow an extra hug today from me. Looking forward to seeing more about your gardening adventures 😀 Blessings ☮

Thank you for a fun video. I’m visiting New England on my way to Brimfield. Ive noted many of your suggestions over the years and are using them as a guide. ☺️

@27acresaway24 4 месяца назад

I used to spend summers in New England, many years ago, visiting my grandmother. I loved the architecture, food, scenery, history and people. I haven't been in several years now but it's so familiar and heartwarming to see it all again in your videos. ❤

@user-es9mb8wi3m 4 месяца назад

Wishing you a Happy Mothers Day, Linda. Prices are very high right now on so many things, from groceries to building projects. If you wait until next year you may find that your cost will be lower. Be patient. Keep tweaking the plans and when you are ready you may find that it will be a more enjoyable project for less than the current estimate.

@linlen4866 4 месяца назад

I was confused when you said your Bachelor Buttons popped up. I knew it was too early for an annual Bachelor Buttons to be that full. I knew that plant as Mountain Bluet. Looked it up. Apparently they are also called Perennial Bachelor Buttons. Interesting...

@nikkivenable73 4 месяца назад

Linda, this whole vlog was so nice! I was a doubter about your move to Sugarwood. Your Groton home and your renovation of that stunning kitchen(the MOST gorgeous kitchen I've ever seen) made me scratch my head. But your land/gardens is beyond stunning. Honestly, i never get tired of seeing your place move through the seasons; it's always fresh and fun. I love winter and with all of your trees, and that field across from your home is just stunning! But fall and spring are also favorites, and you showcase them so well. Thank you for sharing!

@rolexk3de 4 месяца назад

Spring time in New Hampshire makes up for those incredibly dark cold days of winter!! I just love the celadon green of new leaves, the tulips (which I can't grow due to chipmunks), and the bright blue skies. Can't wait for the lilacs to bloom and fill the air with scent....

Linda, thank you for another enjoyable viseo. I always like your variety of content and music selections; especially when you share your jaunts and adventures in your local New England towns. It is such a " breath of fresh air" for me since I live in New York City. Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day. God bless your "kindred spirit". Looking forward to your next video. Robert.

@roymavistanner8399 4 месяца назад

Enjoyed the video very much. Nice to be able to work in the gardens and see the daily changes and progress. I've used the bamboo pole and jute string idea for my big peony bushes, delphiniums and a few other tall plants. Works well! I find the peony rings are not big or tall enough either when the bush gets large, and they are a pain to store and untangle in the Spring! Great idea to spray paint them...might try that this year! I bought my husband the Blood & Thunder book a few years ago and he loved it. He enjoys historical books. He thought it was an excellent read, and very well written. ~M~

Greetings, Linda. You are too funny mocking yourself for not doing all that's on your project list. I do the same: I tell myself that I'm going to do THIS, THAT & THE OTHER, and often THIS, THAT & THE OTHER are still waiting for my attention.

Happy Mother's day. Enjoying a cup of tea while watching the quaint antique stores you bring us along to visit. Your gardens look better and better every time we see an update. Thank you for sharing your days.

@heatherathome545 4 месяца назад

You really scored at the book swap! And those Baldwin candlesticks are beautiful and a great deal! Isn't it an exhilarating feeling watching the garden coming back to life in the spring? No matter how many years go by (I'm just two years younger than you), I always get so excited to see what made it through the winter and looking for spots that can be filled in with something new. You've found a couple of nice plants at the greenhouse! Thanks for the video!

@paulineortiz345 4 месяца назад

Happy Mother’s Day! Yes it is amazing how fast your garden or yard can change. Sometimes it is over night. My Easter lilies have all bloomed for Mother’s Day. It is so gratifying when you see your hard work come to bloom. Hope you enjoyed your dinner. A hug for Willow.

@joanneforeman7475 4 месяца назад

Oooooh, I love your idea for peony supports. I have always struggled with the ring supports also. And, they have to be pulled up every year because they don’t look nice once peonies are cut back. Your idea of using bamboo and painting black is way better. Can’t wait to see your after video.

@sandramader1880 4 месяца назад

Enjoy your spring garden Linda, it is gorgeous! LOVE the peony idea - I'll be doing this next year for sure. We were also just commenting on our peonies and how they are significantly taller this year here in Nova Scotia. So interesting to hear yours are also much taller than a typical year.

@maryannroupas7169 4 месяца назад

Linda, love your channel, but it’s not “tin foil” it’s aluminum foil. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas and adventures!

@carolwarmoth8744 4 месяца назад

I will definitely be using your idea of the bamboo sticks on the peonies. Every spring, I struggle with my peony rings. I’ll be interested to see how this works out for you this summer. You’ve done an amazing amount of cleanup since you moved in to that property. The backyard gardens are looking so nice. The area I garden in is similar to yours. Lots of ancient plants and shrubs that have been let go over the years and very difficult to dig up or shape up can be backbreaking. Your videos are inspiring to me and keep me plugging away.

@gina5827 4 месяца назад

Your day out looked very enjoyable. Makes me want to plan one soon. 😊 i love your flower gardens. They are beautiful and I can see the fruits (flowers 😉) of your labor. Great idea for your peonies!

I think the plant you are trying to identify may be a variety peony. Perhaps a tree peony. The two I have do bit resemble a tree, but that’s what it is called.

@DH-qz2so 4 месяца назад

re: clear glassware etc. at your antique/thrift stores/shops:.... I find small glasses, coasters, or small mini bowl cups, and I look underneath on the outside bottom for interesting floral or star shapes that are part of the glassware design... THEN when I make rolled/pressed cookies (shortbread, peanut butter cookies, etc.), I roll the cookie dough into balls, then into granulated white sugar, and use the glassware to press/stamp down the cookie dough balls prior to baking! I love using this idea! It makes for wonderful designs in my cookies...makes them special!!

@newenglandfineliving 4 месяца назад

What a great idea! Thank you for sharing!

@ginnylangpap4170 4 месяца назад

Love the idea of the black bamboo sticks for peonies. They're so regal, they deserve classy black stakes. Three months ago, we moved into a condo in Victoria, B.C., with stunning city/water/mountain views, which I love, but that means my passionate yard/gardening days have been relegated to some pots on the balcony. And it's ok. Your sharing of your lovely gardens and your passion for designing and caring for them fills my cup! I never knew living the gardening life vicariously could be so rewarding. So thank you, Linda, for all you do.

@sandramader1880 4 месяца назад

@victoriasicilian4573 4 месяца назад

Everything is beautiful in your yard. I miss stone walls! Also, I would encourage you to get a plant identifyer which is an app on your phone. You take a picture within the app and it comes back with a full description of the plant, (care, sun, propagating etc.) I pay $29 a year for the app and think its well worth it!

@newenglandfineliving 4 месяца назад

Thank you! I do have a couple apps. So many peonies show up from the leaf. . I hope to find out the exact flower name this year.

@albayer-b2s 4 месяца назад

I love dianthus too, but I found out that voles eat the tubers- I used to have a nice patch of it, but no more. You may be luckier with yours since you have Willow to guard the flower bed.

@newenglandfineliving 4 месяца назад

Oh the voles are brutal! Many missing tulips this year!

@angelabrandt4052 4 месяца назад

I spent a significant portion of my childhood in Mass and so enjoy your videos of New England living. Such love and nostalgia for all of it. P.S. I believe you have a peony there! : )

@newenglandfineliving 4 месяца назад

Wonderful! Yes it’s a peony, but we need to figure out what type and gosh darn it I will! lol. That’s what’s been alluding me since the previous owner told me she thought it was a tree peony and I do not believe it is, so I’m trying to figure out the species.

@MarySchlotter 4 месяца назад

Lovely, peaceful video. I love being in my garden too. Packing up your basket for a day of errands is such a great idea. I think I may have shared this with you before but I learned a tip years ago with the bulbs that I would get at Easter in pots. While your garden is still emerging look for the negative space that you would like to see the daffodils or tulips etc in the garden before the garden fully flushes out. Take the bulbs out of the pot ( store them till fall) dig the hole according to the pot size ,put the soil from the hole in the pot. Submerge the pot in the hole. Then in fall pull the pot, put the bulbs in the hole( according to depth ) then simply dump the soil from the pot over the bulbs ,tamp it down and voila . Ready for spring!

@newenglandfineliving 4 месяца назад

I love that! Thank you for sharing with all of us.

@lyndabrown2267 4 месяца назад

Hi Linda, from England You mention deer don’t like dianthus are there other things they don’t eat? I have just moved to the countryside and the deer are demolishing everything. They are lovely to look at but not when they are munching my plants. Somebody said that even if you plant plants that are supposed to be unpalatable to deer if deer are hungry they will eat anything!

@doloresleonard2227 4 месяца назад

I have given up on peony rings - they just seem awkward to use , Instead I take soft garden twine to tie the branches together in loose circles, looping in and out to support the heavy blooms while hiding the twine within the leaves. Works well, is very easy and cheap, is undetectable, and there is nothing that I have to store.

@newenglandfineliving 4 месяца назад

tucking tree branches in works too!

@CatherineBrown-c3i 4 месяца назад

I got the best holder for my peony. It is from Gardners supply. It is wrought iron, black. It is very easy to put together. Very strong will last you a lifetime. And looks very decorative in the garden, but was not real expensive.

@bonilamson3322 4 месяца назад

Linda, I know you've moved peonies in the past, and I need to move some here in New England... What months did you move them? Was it before they bloomed? After? Or were you able to move them early spring? Thanks!

@newenglandfineliving 4 месяца назад

Hi, I have been very lucky with my moves. Some I had the luxury of waiting until the plant was spent (after it bloomed and after the greens died back) or when the red shoots were just coming up in the spring. I have dug them up when needed for a move, while flowering. They struggled, I had to stake them up, kept them watered, and the second year they did come back. If you need to move them now, I would suggest making sure you have enough soil around them to help them from going into too much shock (it will still most likely happen). Give them love and attention, they should come back next year even though they might look a bit sad this year. (also make sure not to plant them too deep or they will not flower). I hope that helps.
