Having Leah on your team is brilliant! She's absolutely delightful to watch/listen to. What a lovely young lady! Leah and the guy that didn't notice the tag on your shorts (aka Stewart) did a great job today!

@rosalie2571 3 дня назад

Leah, you’re doing a great job caring for Linda’s garden. Linda has Faith in you or she wouldn’t have given you that responsibility ! And hey Stewart what a wonderful job you ALWAYS do on filming! Kudos to both of you 🌸🍃🪴, you’re a great team❤ Rosalie

Leah, move the moss to an area of shade, and yes, keep watering it. Maybe it will miraculously come back.

@LadyCourtney13 3 дня назад

It happens to all of us. I had a team of three individuals, two of my garden club friends and my daughter, who is not a gardener, taking turns watering. Had my vegetable garden hooked up with an overhead sprinkler that went off at night for an hour, game changer. And trays that are a few inches deep with all my topiaries and plants that could not dry out. There was one casualty, and I am very happy there weren't hundreds. Its hard for a gardener to leave her yard, those are her babies. And the hours we spend out there are worth it to us, but we have a hard time leaving all that work to our trusted few. We had our hottest week last week, 90's and a few 100 degree days. Unheard of here in mid-atlantic. And to boot no rain, very unusual. So Leah, I think you are doing great. Linda is lucky to have you, and Stewart!

Your commentary, Leah, and Stewart's comments with giggles made this so fun. Things are looking good, minus the poor moss planter, of course. It has been crazy hot weather to keep everything going. The plant that is "growing like crazy"in the front yard is a dahlia.

@jdartdiva1 3 дня назад

Now that was hysterical! Linda knowing and they not knowing How! When I go away, (usually no more than 1week) I’m biting my nails hoping my waterer, usually my Hubs, will hand water and not just rely on our irrigation system. As Linda once said, those of us fighting temps 95 and over 100 on a daily Summer basis, it’s hard to over water!

Your front yard is just stunning!

@laurelcomeaux4723 3 дня назад

Leah, if possible, you may want to put a tray under that basket planter; it is shallow, and it will need much water. The other alternative is to put it in a shadier location.

Move cement planters off the sidewalk till the heat lets up. They just bake the plants.

@mireillebaan 2 дня назад

A watering tip for things in pots that are not doing well is to put them in a big bucket of water en let the dirt get really wet. Because if te dirt is dried out, the water is not absorbed en runs out the pot. Linda, has good luck in Europe she is there in the one week we had sun, the rain is back. Leah an Stewart you are a fun team. And Leah and Stewart garding is a learning process, just enjoy the lessons. They happen to all of us.

@fredbear72ify 3 дня назад

What fun I nearly fell off the chair when I saw the table plant 😀 anyway it's a lot of watering I am sure Lynda must have had a giggle also. Great vlog you two.

@pomme800 10 часов назад

Ah.... good effort Leah! It's not easy when you are not a gardener and it's not your own garden..So very sorry for the plant funerals.... But, there's a reason Linda drags the hose down the front steps .....that pot near the sidewalk needed ..minimum, the whole content of that watering can and then some.... If a pot is drying out too fast in it's sunny location, drag it into the shade , under the table , anywhere to give it a break...There's always a next time😉 and you were very kind to water for Linda.

You could pull those pots up front into the shade maybe under the umbrella! But she's probably home by now!

@emmalavenham День назад

I completely agree - irrigate at roots via a zoned drip irrigation system is efficient and effective- it is well worth the time, effort, investment But if you are thinking of starting a new garden in an area that gets increasingly hot and dry in the summer I would consider leaning on plants in your design that can take a dry spell..

@christileewall 3 дня назад

Remember to always check the FOCUS. Great video everybody!

@Rod-ew9zb 2 дня назад

Leah- overwatering a plant is just as harmful as under watering. Rule of thumb- if the soil is damp/moist to the touch, it doesn't need more water. In the summer, some plants need to be checked more than once a day depending on the container type and plant moisture need (myrtle topiaries are very high maintenance when it's hot). Otherwise, you're getting the hang of it. I would be grateful to have someone like you to babysit my plants when I'm away. A good plant sitter is as hard to find as a reliable baby sitter.

@fernengelhorn6277 2 дня назад

This is off topic, but I wanted to tell you that I purchased some solar votives and I absolutely love them. Thank you for bringing them to our attention. They just give us such a warm lovely feeling during the evening hours. 🙂

@77sun222 2 дня назад

Hello Leah and Stewart Yes, I'm sure you are watering right. Linda is so lucky to have you both to stand in for her. Gosh😮😮I never thought she'd go to Scotland. I know she has an itinerary but she will have seen some of the beauty of that country. Hope she tried the haggis with whisky. Lovely for breakfast.❤❤❤

@juneramirez8580 2 дня назад

Leah, watering someone elses garden is a very hard job. It took Linda a long time to know just how much water a plant needs. Potted plants, the smaller the pot, the faster it dries up.

@elizabethscheller9447 3 дня назад

Bunny Guinness uses bottomless pots (pots with bottoms removed) so that larger plants/trees/boxeoods can establish their roots in the soil and reduces watering needs after they are established. I might try that.

@mariem.8205 3 дня назад

Keep up the good work Leah! Gosh! One plant down. 😅

@jeanniecollier6763 3 дня назад

@louisemyrvik7667 2 дня назад

@terry3596 3 дня назад

Here in Colorado, we are also on water restrictions. We can only use our on ground systems every 3 days but we can hand water anytime.

@elizabethscheller9447 3 дня назад

I fear I may be losing one of my regal geraniums due to overwatering….according to the ‘Picture This’ app. The app said frequency isn’t an issue, it’s the amount of water I’m using each watering. It’s been really difficult to reduce watering in the hot and humid south (NC).

@madamesivadgarden День назад

🌿💗 I've lost two struggling plants this week (one of five of my sibella carmine from seed) and an erinus alpinus from the nursery and I'm managing the disappointment well. However, the one I nursed from seed stings a bit. My only solace is that it did start struggling before I put it in the ground and I still don't know if it was overwatered or underwatered. By the way, this was a great installment team. 💗🌿

@tracilee5012 2 дня назад

Great job, Leah, you are so cute! Will you please let me know what hose attachment/sprayer you were using in this video? Thank you so much!

@deniseparker5668 7 часов назад

What is the attachment on the hose when watering the back garden? Were you fertilizing everything

@mifasola1 3 дня назад

Leah actually knowledge comes with age and you will learn that as you become more involved (if you do) in the gardening experience. That concrete basket in front that you are drenching...do you know if it has drainage? You may be OVER watering. If those are begonias in the back that you are watering that are all soggy, it is possible to overwater begonias because the stems are full of water

@jondebbiegraff6492 2 дня назад

Yes agreed. My first thought on the veronica in the back may be over watering. Put your finger down into the soil, if it feels damp, skip watering. Be go I as can handle that. Great job Leah and Stewart!

@vernellevale2226 3 дня назад

Thanks for showing us how you water. I garden in the Southwest Desert (Las Vegas NV Zone 9a) and must water EVERYDAY. I have many plants that get crispy edges, but I just wait until the fall to clean them up because if I clean them up during the scorching sun, they will just get burned again. My Eugenia Topiaries are moved into part shade so they don’t get burned up. Just wondering… what is the green (spray paint like) areas on the side of your house on the ground near the bench (see them at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="663">11:03</a> in the video)?

I was going to ask about the ajuga ground cover. Leah said it stops by the stepping stones, so my question is does it stop at a grass line??? And does it cause any snails, I would love to use it as edging on the inside of my chain link fence.?? Stewart and Leah Great job, I’d be full of anxiety lol 😍

@heatherlockhart667 2 дня назад

I have a question regarding the watering it was very helpful To know of the different watering regime but how do you determine? Which one needs what I am in a situation right now? Where I'm having to save for a watering system and I am liking both the drip irrigation as well as the sprinkler system and hand watering. As well but I'm having a hard time knowing which areas or zones need. What.and i'm not sure whether a installation group would know.

@horticultureandhomes 2 часа назад

Linda you should have shown her and then have her do the watering about 3 times bwfore you left. Show her how to stick her finger in the soil to see how much soil moisture there is in the pot. I bet most of those pots were dry to the point of runoff that it couldn't absorb what little water they did get. Those front pots should have had the entire water can per each of those pots instead of the dribble they actually got. I leaned long ago fron plantsmen Andrea Viette that whoever is in charge of watering should be one of the highest paid people in the nusery.

@TraciLMiller 3 дня назад

Holy cow we can only water once a week in San Antonio, that goes for drip too we just got new restrictions. When I moved here 17 years ago, we could water 3x's a week....its a real struggle to keep things alive in July-September.

The hydrangeas down the side of the house are gorgeous!!! But watching you walk down those stones steps give me anxiety every time. I've preached enough about it. I just hope I never see a video where you have fallen down that sloped edge to the street. Game changer!!!!! Maybe someday a black iron railing for safety sake .I am a shade girl , so the back is where I would spend my time. It looks so pretty now , woth all the hard scape among the plants. I was wondering if Leah cuts off the top of the dead pot on the social patio... and keeps it watered... if there are roots still alive under the soil. Something I would try. I never give up at first.

Common sense dictates that pots in that kind of intense heat will not stay watered, no matter how often. They need to be moved into the shade until the temperature drops.

@mazsteele-hall8924 2 дня назад

In California, we can water all we want as long as it is by hand. Automated we are not limited right now but when we are, it is certain days and times. I spent 2 hours handwatering this morning even though I have sprinklers and drip.
