Awww thanks you Nicholas… I appreciate your kind words and encouragement! 😄😄😄Liz

Awwww thank you!!! 🥰❤️👍Liz

Hi Ginger Thanks so much! 😊 I appreciate your kind words. This heat wave is the highest temperatures I’ve ever experienced. All of my vinca is starting to go to seed so I will definitely be pruning them all back. I have to water every single day. I don’t mind and I’m not complaining, it’s just really hot this year and very different from what I’ve ever experienced. Yes I hope you do get a lamb. The butterflies will appreciate it as well. Thanks for stopping by Ginger. I hope you have a beautiful day in your garden too.👍🥰❤️Liz

Awww thank you so much succulentsbreaktime! ❤️👍🥰🌸Liz

Good morning Wendy thank you so so much for taking the time to stop by. Your lovely comment totally made me smile this morning. I find it so much fun. How are RU-vid can connect people from all over the world. From Perth Western Australia to California. How wonderful ❤️🥰👍Liz

Good morning Pam and thank you for taking the time to stop by. Yes the heat wave is very intense. Had I know it got so hot out here in the valley I probably never would have gotten chickens. They suffer the most and I feel so bad for them. I do my best to keep them cool. 😅 I wonder if your lavender crêpe myrtle is a Muskogee??? I think those are the most beautiful crêpe myrtles of all. I wonder if your pink jasmine did not like the frost? It’s so crazy how we are only about an hour away from each other yet it makes such a big difference. The older I get the more I want to escape the heat! Hahaha moving up farther past the foothills is definitely a plan of mine for the future. Sonora, angels camp, Columbia, etc. but then of course I’m told that people are having a hard time getting fire insurance up there. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to stop by it’s always fun chatting with a fellow neighbor/RU-vidr! 😄😄😄Liz

Thank you so much, Cheryl. I appreciate you taking the time to visit me.🌸👍🥰❤️Liz

Good morning, my dear sweet friend! I would like to congratulate you on buying your property. How exciting and now you get to start a vegetable garden. I am so happy for you. The only reason why I mentioned not growing things to eat tires is because that is what another viewer told me. Of course you could always research that yourself. Thank you for the suggestion to paint my chair yellow. You are the second person to tell me that so I think that will be the color I choose. Your comments are always so encouraging to me so I thank you from the bottom of my heart. And I can’t wait to hear how your garden Grows! Have a beautiful day, my friend and may God bless your new property and Garden.😇🙏😇🙏Liz

😙😙😙😙❤❤❤❤

Yay! Glad I could help! 🥰❤️👍Liz

Thank you so much BestB! ❤️🥰👍Liz

My pleasure BestB thanks for taking the time to comment! 🥰🥰🥰Liz

Awww thank you so much, Pixieofjoy! I am super excited as well. It’s been 110° here in California so I haven’t been able to go shopping yet for the items I need. Hopefully when the weather cools down, I can put it all together. Appreciate you taking the time to stop by. 👍❤️🌸Liz

@@GardenHappy Hopefully this heatwave will pass soon! I'm in CA as well, and the heat is brutal. Try to stay cool! 😎

Yes, I’m hoping this heat wave passes soon. We actually reached 113°. Never in my life has it ever been this hot where I live. I’m so ready to move up into the mountains.!!! Haha 😅

Thanks Jasmine! 🌸💜🌸💜🌸Liz

Thank you Faye!!!! Yellow it is! 🌼🌼🌼

Thank you so much James! 😊 Liz

Oh how fun a clawfoot bathtub that looks like a cow. It doesn’t get any better than that. Your garden sounds absolutely lovely and fun. Thank you for taking the time to visit me today. I appreciate the comment.👍❤️🌸Liz

Thank you so much, RosaSolorio.. you are right periwinkle is such a beautiful color. That is such a great suggestion and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Hope you have a beautiful day, my friend.❤️👍🌸Liz

Thank you Torey Happy 4th! Thanks for stopping by!!! 🥰❤️👍Liz

@@GardenHappy no worries 😉

Thanks Faye! They are growing in Miracle Grow top soil and compost!!! Best zucchinis I have ever grown!!! 😀😀😀Liz

Hey there Mike. . . Thank you for your kind words. Happy 4th of July to you as well! I got off work at 5;00 PM and enjoyed some time with my family and kids. What about you???

@@GardenHappy Liz, I'm tickled to death you got off in time to enjoy the 4th and spend it with your family and friends!! :) I actually stayed home last night and relaxed watched TV and finally went to bed soon as neighbors around the area finally stopped shooting them off about 130 ? I think lol

I can’t believe how long the neighbors lit off fireworks as well. I kept waking up to these giant bombs going off. Oh well, glad you got a good night sleep! 😆

@@GardenHappy Liz your just the sweetest lady ever:)

It’s not me… it’s Jesus!

Hi there, Barbara and thank you for taking the time to comment. What I have noticed about crêpe myrtle is the different colors bloom at different times. My white crêpe myrtle tree bloomed first, the red was second and now my purple one is blooming. So there is still hope for yours. I like the crêpe myrtles that are in Bush form because the trunks are so pretty. Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you have a beautiful day in your garden too. It is definitely hot right now. Hope you are staying cool.❤️👍🥰Liz

Hey there, my friend and I am so sorry you’re experiencing the same problem as I am. I always use an organic fertilizer (because it does not burn any plants) called Espoma Rose Tone. Any of the Espoma fertilizers work GREAT! I also water my garden every morning before I know it’s going to be hot. Sometimes again in the evening. Let’s pray we make it through this heat wave!!! It was 113 for me today!!! Ahhhhhh 😂😂😂Liz

​@@GardenHappy Thank you Liz! I bought some of that fertilizer for my roses after you said how well it worked on your roses. How should I apply it to the vincas? Mine are in pots too. I'm wondering how much to put in each pot, you just put a little bit in and scratch it into the soil right? I think before you just put a handful around the base of each rose but not sure how much to put for the vincas. I'm glad it won't burn my plants!! Thanks again friend!!

Hello! 🌸👍❤️
