Beeeeeeeeuteeeeeful!!!!! You are blessed also to have a husband who is so helpful.

Love junk gardening 🌸

Beautiful! The chicken feeder is my favorite. So creative what you did with the space❤️🌸Chris is a gem too!

Love it!❤

It’s going to be great! All the rock to help with all the weeds that may find a way, easy pulling. Beautiful job! Simple and stylish! Love your old rusty crusty!❤🌸🌺 lovely with the solar lights on!

You are going to need to thin your morning glorys. Keep them in a pot or they will take over. Very invasive. Also my favorite. Prettiest blue ever.

I just love this! You guys are so talented!!🩵🌺

These are my favorite videos of yours! I love the flips, but!! The organic, eclectic way you put things together outside is even more beautiful to me than what you do inside❤️❤️…well, except maybe at Christmas.lol. This is exactly what I would do if I had space like this. But my hubby prefers “well manicured” look of the tried and true shrubs and such. And, he’s the one that has to keep stuff alive.🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Beautiful! Your talent knows no bounds! I’m lying in a hospital bed with a broken femur so tending to my flower and vegetable beds will become my husband’s job now. Makes me sad. He enjoys it as well though. My leg broke completely in two before my husband caught me mid-fall. Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. After surgery Saturday afternoon I’ll be here two to three more weeks for physical therapy. I still can’t believe this happened. How quickly things can change. Anyway this video was such a joy to watch. You are an amazing woman!

I love how this flower bed turned out. Great job guys’

Your plants are so colorful and your containers really set them apart and make your walk to the studio very nice and pleasing ❣️❣️❣️

How fun and pretty for all that work!

How are your wildflowers doing

Good morning from Ireland 🇮🇪,wow love the transformation in your garden 💕what a beautiful space to have to look at when you’re on your way to work in your studio . Myself and my husband love our garden it makes us feel well and while it’s been hard work for the past 38 years or so we have tried to make it easier to maintain over the past few years- as we’re in our sixties now and don’t have the same energy . It has been my place of healing for many years now . Happy gardening 👩‍🌾.💚☘️

I love my flowers. They make me happy

Oh how I wish I had your ambition!!!! Looks great!!

Beautiful....I need to work on my flower beds. So hot here now.

I am living this! After they closed our jail and after 20 years I was unemployed I finally had time to plant roses and some other low maintenance flowers, 8 years after moving in! A LONG time ago, much younger, I cared for 250 roses and my lily lane, butterfly bushes, lilacs etc…. I love my simple look now, I’m 55 😂 we added salt and pepper rock to our beds, used a truck and wheelbarrow….. 😮‍💨 it’s absolute perfection Chris & Yvonne! The nod to GCR ❤

Suggestions for easier maintenance and toxin-free, unwanted plant ("weeds" or grass) removal and prevention: lay a base of staple- and tape-free cardboard ($free!), top with 4" of mulch or a little less rocks. Cardboard will smother the unwanted plants while gradually decomposing, actually improving the soil vs. adding poison or plastic weed block sheets (that break down into microplastics and do not improve the soil). After a couple years, rake back the mulch/rocks, replace the cardboard, recover with mulch/rocks. To kill plants before cardboard or over time, as seeds pop up, around edges, etc., use a propane powered flame weeder, like a Red Dragon (brand). Super easy, effective, safe and inexpensive. (If nervous about embers, carry a watering can while flame weeding.) Also, horticultural strength vinegar is great for unwanted plants, too. As always, love your creativity and content! Thank you!

I am inspired to do some more with my outside areas!! Thank you!!

Your junk garden turned out great. I really like the edging that Chris made.

What a fun area to display all your collectables! The flowers you chose are gorgeous! So glad you shared this with us! Don’t forget flowers in the outhouse window planter…LoL!

Everything looks beautiful. Love the color combo in the chicken feeder.

I love how your flower bed turned out. Beautiful and all your rusty crusty adds so much interest.

Wonderfully delightful!! Love all your treasures and how you arranged them and love your flower choices. Can't wait to see the morning glories climbing and blooming! Love it all!!! ❤

That new area should make your day brighter, every day! And nights, with those solar lights. Love it all: The colorful flowers and "stuff". 🎉❤

This was very enjoyable to watch as it all came together! Flowers in the daytime and solar lights at night always add joy to ☀️ spring and summer! And Tator😅😂 😆 Lol...so silly!

Amazing!!!❤❤❤ For your tomatoe plants, plant Marigolds!! Called Companion Planting!! Keeps pests away!! I would not do cucumbers with them!! Very viney like a watermelon or pumpkin!! Need a lot of space!! Cypress vine grows great with morning glories as well as moon flower. Creeping Jenny is a spreading green plant for base of other plants-gives protection like mulch does!! So Happy to see your Butterflies & outhouse especially!!❤❤❤

Looks so pretty!!!

I love it Yvonne and Chris:). Please show us the mourning glories once they start climbing:). Awesome job. I hope your feeling better:)🙏🩷🌸

"A hose" hahaha...it's always fun to see you and Chris working together but my favorite Chris moment is still him wrapping Christmas presents in his unique ASMR way 🥰🥰🥰 Are you going to put a KEEP OUT sign on the outhouse?

What a wonderful flower garden you’ve created ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love the old with the new👍 Dewitt landscape fabric is the best!!!! We’ve had this fabric in our landscape for several years now and it’s still good. You need to cut this landscape fabric with a small little torch.

The garden is delightful! Love all your rusty crusty yard art! Chris us so helpful with all your projects. Stay well. 🤗

I LOVED the intro!...Made me laugh🤣😂🤣 Your flowers and rusty crusty decoration looks amazing along side the shed. JUST BEAUTIFUL! Tater was comical 😂

Love your gardens. I also started some wildflowers in my flower garden. Hoping for the best. New home for us and I really miss my flower gardens left behind in TN. We will be in our house for a year on September 1. Slowly but surely that’s our retirement plan.

Good job Chris and Yvonne. Really cozied up the area and glad it's matenance free.

Every thing looks so good!! I’m not much of a gardener it is too hot here and you need to water twice a day and so every thing dies by mid-July because I don’t stick to my watering schedule!! I love to look at them in full bloom but now we have a dog that digs every single thing up that I plant so I’ll keep my 3 hydrangeas and 2 azaleas and 1 knock out rose bush they make me the happiest at 71 it’s hard to get on my hands and knees weeding! Yours looks absolutely beautiful!!

I had to watch the opening 3 times Yvonne…how real does it get my Hunny says!!! You are gonna be morning gloried for sure if you don’t do a bit of thinning. As you were seeding them all I could think was rats nest and tangled if they all germinate and germinate they did. All your yard treasures are gonna make you want more gardens as time goes on. We just have a need for beauty in our lives and gardening certainly does that for us, Fillers, thrillers and spillers is my mantra for container gardens and those heliotrope are not going to disappoint as a thriller. I try to grow some every year and I try to put them with sweet Williams for a real color blast until the sweet William are done for the season. Thanks for sharing this and for a glimpse of Tater and Peach. What a nice visit!!!:):):)

Oh I didn't want it to finish. What a gorgeous gorgeous result!! Well done. Loved seeing Tater❤ also. How old is he now?

Yvonne, you can also use cardboard as a grass blocker.

I did a small space in front of my house with rocks no weed barrer and iv had good luck. You're looks great.

I love this! Wow. I am going to do something like this to my yard. Easy to maintain! Fantastic Yvonne and Chris !

This section is so crazy fabulous. I love your ideas and flower containers. Chicken feeder is wow! I found a new favorite flower! The green n purple one in the two pots next to the windmill. What was that? Petunias? Never seen that color combo in that flower.❤. Tater has gotten so big and great to catch sighting of Peaches. Your yard will end up being a traffic issue 😂😂. People will be coming by just to see what else you add. Love it.😊❤

I remember those plants that go to sleep when you touch them. I haven’t seen since childhood! Don’t even notice the name!😊 Oh I LOVE your new solar lights!❤ The chicken feeder came out gorgeous!🎉Those petunias are such a strange and lovely color!😊 Oh and the door looks fabulous!😊 Thanks for sharing! It’s beautiful!❤

Oh i love it! Put some faux plants in the window box on the outhouse. Hows that other area doing that you seeded a few weeks ago?

Some antique cowboy boots 👢in the outhouse would add a cute, funny touch! Awesome video as usual!! ❤

It’s so hot down here that flowers will last until you go one day without watering. I have to get someone to come water 😳🤷‍♀️

Great choices for your flowers. Looks like you've done this before.

The garden area looks amazing! Love the flowers and the mornin glories will look beautiful climbing up the trellises! Thanks for sharing.

Use cardboard wet it down then put the felt paper and mulch next year you can plant in spring

I really enjoyed the clever planting ideas! Thank you!

I love junk gardening and I love what you have done. Great job!

Gorgeous! That garden area would be a dream come true for me! ❤❤❤

Usually you plant a seed to the depth of its length. So not very deep for most seeds.

Looks so good! I love all your found treasures that you planted in.

What a pretty garden! I love your butterflies !!

Well that was a whole lot of fun!! In case you wanted to know, coffee filters over drainage holes in containers keeps the soil in and lets the excess water out. Keep the outdoor projects coming please!! Thanx

It’s lovely Yvonne and Chris! Love all the rusty crusty junk, it’s just the perfect touch.

Your junque garden is beautiful! Great idea for our garage.

Gosh I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cooler garden ., all of my gardens are bordered with a truck load of small boulders to keep it a little more natural and wild

I would make or buy wood flower boxes to hang on the outhouse.

Your garden

Cardboard under the weed barrier helps keep weeds down too

Oh! I thought you were going to dig up the grass! I'm so interested to see how it looks next year! My 92 yo mom took out the plants in one flower bed and covered it all with pink rock. I live several hours away and she cant keep it up anymore but the rock is gorgeous! I love your antique crusty garden! INCREDIBLE! Your vision is spot on as usual!

Thanks for sharing, love your design.

Wow your garden is so beautiful. Well done guys

Beautiful!

Amazing!

I absolutely loved your introduction to this video! LOL you and Chris are awesome working together and he’s such a good sport. I really enjoy watching both your channels ❤❤❤❤

Everything came out so beautiful. All the rusty crusty things are perfect where you put them. You are so talented at just everything you touch.. The touch of Midas. Instead of gold you got talent. Thank you for sharing all the details you create

I can't believe it has been a year! You guys work so hard and it shows. Hi Chris.

BEAUTIFUL. I hope you enjoy every moment of your lovely garden.

Cardboard boxes will get rid of that-

Yvonne & Chris, y'all made such a beautiful flower garden area - so amazing!!!!

Beautifu!

Gardens are lovely! Thank you!

So absolutely lovely.. those green and purple petunias are beautiful! I too love your assortment of old containers. Such a peaceful spot..Enjoy

P.S. Adorable garden! ...maybe put a pair of old boots in the outhouse, just to startle and amuse visitors😅

Absolutely Beautiful! The outhouse is awesome. Would love to see more of it at night lit up. My husband and I love solar light.

Wow- I love everything! Didn’t realize the white stone had the GCR on it until you zoomed in, what a nice touch.

Very nice flower garden. Glad you put your plants in containers and pots so you can pull them in and cover them in the winter. Beautiful job!

Beautiful! Your talent knows no bounds! I’m lying in a hospital bed with a broken femur so tending to my flower and vegetable beds will become my husband’s job now. Makes me sad. He enjoys it as well though. My leg broke completely in two before my husband caught me mid-fall. Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. After surgery Saturday afternoon I’ll be here two to three more weeks for physical therapy. I still can’t believe this happened. How quickly things can change. Anyway this video was such a joy to watch. You are an amazing woman!

Just charming!!

Just beautiful, love

❤❤❤❤❤

Soooooo pretty!!❤❤

That looks awesome

Looks great!❤

We love the same things my friend...I call my gardening style rusty, crusty junk gardening. We love old small equipment pieces, old wheelbarrows, chicken feeders, buckets, birdhouses, milk cans, fence pieces, etc. Your new spot is just beautiful. Love the solar lights too!! ❤

Styrofoam is probably the worst thing you could have put in your planter box. All the toxins in the Styrofoam will release into your vegetable plants. Also, just curious as to why you didn't just order a truckload of gravel instead of ordering the bags. You can order gravel by the truckload and it would save you a lot of money.They sales different types and sizes.

Looks great

Wow!! Chris I’m so impressed by you! Beautiful work! Yvonne your choice of plants and objects to put out there in your garden is beautiful!! ❤❤❤

Beautiful!!!

That's really nice! And yes....the further we get along in years, low maintenance.. is really pleasing. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing the Marigolds growing bigger! My husband's mother..( granny) loved Marigolds..they were her favorite! Your " Eye Candy" is going to serve you well! Thank Chris for us as well! God Bless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

*What a beautiful color combination you created for your lovely side garden to enjoy every day as you enter your studio space❣️🍃💛💜🧡🍃 Now you have a lovely backdrop for your rusty crusty treasures. 🌼🌿💐😉*

I love everything about this video!!! I love your style and your project turned out just perfectly!!!

Very nice ❤

Love love it❤

Oh so beautiful. Love every rusty crusty object n all those pretty flowers. So blessed you are that Chris loves to get involved n put a happy face on you. I really miss my hubby when it comes to get involve with my projects. But I know he’s looking down a pond me saying, well done Michelle n you did it without me. I love how you designed every inch of that area. It’s not overly crowded. Right amount of flowers n your treasures. Soooo perfectly perfect! ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Beautiful!
