Your are both so precious! I’m so glad I found your channel. I watch all your videos and I find you inspirational. I live in Paris, France and your videos have given me so many ideas for my garden. Thank you❤
I love these videos, I also have a new build garden, but it is a country plot. I’ve done so much cutting out to create and extend beds, so really relate to it.
LOVE your gardens and enthusiasm! Root Slayer tools for the win all the way. I use my Root Slayer long-handled edger at least twice a week. My favorite Root Slayer tool is the Nomad with the straight handle - highly recommend! It's smaller, lighter, and handles my tough, rocky Massachusetts soil. I've even used it to divide huge grasses and dig out shrubs.
Have y’all ever thought about investing in the power planter augers and drill? It definitely not a cheap purchase but man wouldn’t it help with hole digging!
I'm in NH and use holly shrubs instead of boxwoods and I just adore them. They always look so healthy and cheerful. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.
Looks great! I added a hedge of Strong Box Holly this spring and they have done so well this summer and have proven to be water wise plants - not needing a ton of water. I love the dark glossy foliage!
I’m living vicariously through you guys as it is pouring rain and blowing a gale here in western norway and not much fun to garden right now! Love the new additions to the green walls! 💚
We have tried it before. The reason we don't do it more is that our soil isn't "structured". Since the house wasn't built that long ago all of the soil is backfill and doesn't have all the good stuff that makes it worth while
I wish you were my neighbors, we would be great friends. I am in zone B in WI. I recently had a tour of my garden filmed by Michelle from Gardening TLC. It is here most recent video. I purchased my pedestal and pot highlighted in my video after seeing yours. 😊
I'm getting a new house built. I sure wish you two would come to Oklahoma n help me design my new gardens. It's just me and my 3 grands. I love to gatden. ❤❤❤
Thank you for letting me know about the plant store that you did your online order from. I just made a big purchase of perennials and some hydrangeas along with a few butterfly bushes so excited to get everything in the ground when it arrives.
Christopher, you make edging look so easy! I don’t know if it is your tool, the type of grass you have, or the soil the roots are in, or your man muscles! But it is not so easy for me. I’m currently working on edging a boarder around a new bed and trying to get the grass out. I’m about ready to wave the white flag to the grass.

Good morning🌞liking the new additions, good foliage contrast, consider connecting those beds to the existing single specimens near the beds for several reasons, visually it will flow and you can plant more material to give you more screening from your neighbors, your yard is an oasis in the middle of a desert😉 To the garden I go it is a very cool 52 degrees and want to enjoy it while it last, next week looking warmer, the tug of war with temps in later August through September. Have a wonderful and happy gardening weekend🌞
Not a fan of holly. But, I'm sure you guys will make it look wonderful. I pulled my 3 scallywags out.. Liking the progression of the yard , love watching as always, I;m tagging alone eagerly. Nice video.
As winter comes, could you explain how you overwinter potted plants. I have a 2' ginkgo tree in a plastic pot. The pot cannot go into our unheated garage.
Warning to anyone with rabbit problem. Inkberry might be deer resistant but the rabbits loved my inkberry (and in summer when lots of other options to eat)
You have to plant the bloomerang lilac. I planted 2 years ago as my “ green wall”. This is the first year it’s blooming in may and august. I have other lilac bushes that are now 20 years old that are absolutely my favourite, just like your limelight wall. Do you get snow where you are located?
You guys have such a beautiful garden. I stress over where to put what and am constantly moving everything. I was wondering if you could recommend a drip system. I bought one off Amazon a couple years ago. It worked twice and then didn’t so I threw it out. What brand can you recommend please
Right off the bat I have a couple questions! At 1:30, what are all of those low purple perennials? Are they all some form of catmint? I really want something like that one day! And kind of in the same point, do your hydrangea behind (or of the ones you have) ever seem to get too big? I have a limelight that I really want to take down to a more manageable 5-6 feet when it tops out, but mine always wants to jump to 8-9+, even if I cut it in half in the spring. Have you kept yours smaller with even more severe pruning than that? (I know those are not limelights and likely just stay smaller naturally, but I swear most hydrangeas get bigger than the 4ish feet yours seem to stay at all the time!) Side note 7:45 - I would pay SO much money for an edger with a little level bubble on handle to know if the blade is straight. I always get a little crooked when I freehand things.
I have to get your edger… the one I just got is ridiculous I realize. It doesn’t work, but how could it with a dull, non-serrated edge! I managed to edge yesterday as I’ve done before, by carefully using a shovel- not ideal but it works. Anyway, just curious, is your soil ever dense to where it’s hard to work? The clay soil here in the Chicagoland area can get like a rock if it is dry… I try to find the sweet spot of not too wet from rain and not too dry. Love the videos!
It’s unfortunate that your neighbors can’t catch your enthusiasm for gardening. I think your green wall is an excellent idea to enclose your fantastic property 😊
I have the same exact neighbors although I love them they never have kept up their yard - I help them mow in the summer and snowplow in the winter I’ve even offered plants for them to put in their yard but they never show any interest 😢it’s sad for our curb appeal since we live near the entrance of our neighborhood 🤦🏼♀️(everyone stops at my yard and points out the day and night difference) I guess ya either got the garden bug or ya just DONT… 🤷🏼♀️
Everyone around us has plants around their electrical boxes. Except mine with our neighbor. I really want to plant but afraid to dig any size hole around them. Do you have any suggestions or size of root balls you planted would really help. how far from boxes would you say is ok etc. They are so ugly to look at it.
Well I would say its always good to be cautious...ours might be a smidge too close, but we love it. Starting with smaller plants would be good so you don't have to dig too deep
how late into fall can you still plant evergreens before you risk loosing them over winter???? wondering about boxwoods, emerald green arborvitae, yews etc...
I feel like as long as you are deeply watering them and they get a good two months before frost that is a good start. Sales happen though, so as long as you keep watering it can be worth the risk
