This is a spring garden tour video with a few projects mixed in.These are garden projects and purchases that happened over the course of a month or so. I shopped for nursery plants, cleaned out the strawberry bed, I put out the wire garden cloches for our vegetables, cut flowers for a spring arrangement, using a glass frog, and I found something in one of the gardens after my husband pointed something out.

Love the idea for the porch to be a “greenhouse”, I believe a house will tell you how to use it’s space, can’t wait to see the future gardens.❣️

@nancyvance2772 2 года назад

Well, as one who loved your house in Groton and thought you had lost your mind to leave it, it's time for me to fall on my sword1 I am a kindred spirit! I love your reverence for Sugarwood's land and history and the feeling I get that you and Ben want to be stewards and preservationists for future inhabitants.

@cynthiasirois8295 2 года назад

I agree.. I thought the house in Groton was just lovely, but Sugarwood is amazing! I also agree that we should be stewards of our homes and our land, since many came before us, and many will be here in the future!

When you plant your tomatoes, pick off the lower leaves. Then dig a deep hole. Slightly crack an egg and place it in the bottom of the hole, then place your tomato plant in the hole and cover them all the way up til they are almost to the leaves. This gives them nutrients and allows them to have a stronger root base. We’ve been doing this for several years now and we’ve loved the difference it makes. I don’t know if you wanted the information or maybe you already know this trick, but it was eye opening for me. You have a lovely garden. I absolutely love all the stone walls and raised beds!

@newenglandfineliving 2 года назад

I have never heard of this trick!!! Thank you. I might try some with and some without I think that would be fun to see the difference.

I love and adore everything about this video! Getting to see the change in your gardens with all the new life is really heartwarming. I always find spring to be so inspiring and uplifting to my spirit, and I imagine it does to yours, too. I’m always happy to see Willow out and about enjoying herself. Yes, please share your digs and the finds you’ve made!! Love your newfound stone wall! 🥰

@maryschlotter108 2 года назад

Lovely garden tour! I learned a tip years ago from a fellow gardener, when you look at your garden in spring and you see an area that you would like to plant more bulbs take an empty flower pot ( I save mine from the nursery) dig the hole put the dirt in the pot then place the pot in the hole. In the fall pull the pot out place the bulbs in the hole and then take the soil you saved in the pot and pour it over the bulbs and tamp the soil down. Hope that helps you. I love the idea of an English garden room can’t wait to see your vision . Yay for white bleeding hearts I just planted a few and I have a small moon garden as well. So enjoyable to watch your channel! Happy gardening !

Your piece of property including the outside of the house is coming along beautifully. What a big yard! We had an acre when I lived in upstate New York, and as a teen I had to mow it. You will get it straightened up the way you want it eventually. Do it slowly and don’t kill yourself working. ENJOY! We love you. Luv mj

@eloisemuller5105 2 года назад

Linda, have you seen a U tuber, Parisienne Farmgirl? She and her large family have a farm in Wisconsin and she,like you loves to seek what her property has to offer when she’s out walking. A lot of her old finds end up in her house. She also turned her sunporch into a lovely semi greenhouse. I so enjoy both your videos.

@mariaameliapina5339 2 года назад

@jeaninewalsh5120 2 года назад

Hello Linda, I enjoyed this episode as well. Your arrangement turned out beautiful. It's refreshing to be able to pick your own flowers and bring them inside. You have good friends sounds like you have a lot of fun out together. A person definitely need different size frogs. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the enclosed porch. I skip around to, but the job does get done eventually 🤷😃. You've done alot so far with the house so glad to see how much you are enjoying it. Looking forward to seeing all your changes.

Linda, the oval flower frog was made by New Martinsville/Viking Glass and comes with an actual bowl. It was made in many colors. The two larger holes are for candles.

Although I loved your previous home I am thrilled for you buying Sugarwood. What a great name. I am binge watching your videos and I’m up to Oct 21. Love your presentation . Show us everything! Take us with you when you dig for treasure on your property. Is there a playlist of “Sugarwood”? I have to keep scrolling back but it’s worth it as I’m trying to look at videos in order. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home and property. You’ve inspired me to rethink my “forever” home simply because I’m 70. May start the search for what I really want.💕

@judithpresgrove739 2 года назад

Good Morning Miss Linda! I have to say that is the biggest "Bumble Bee" I have ever seen. It even looked like he had a little attitude goin on. Ha! Thank you again for sharing your Sugarwood with us. ❤

@cathycorriher6313 2 года назад

Linda your place is looking so nice and your efforts for making it your own are really paying off... Also......it's good to see you using your surgically repaired arm more and more. Glad it is healing up nicely. Enjoyed your video.

@denisebedford4641 2 года назад

I appreciate how you have nicely integrated the "popular market" plants with the more traditional heirloom varieties. I focused only on the heirloom varieties to support the bees, but found that I needed more color to support my own aesthetic needs. But, I have found it challenging to balance them in an overall design. You do it well because you first identified all of the beds in your yard. This tour was very relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you!

@trickshotters1577 2 года назад

Debby here from Mississippi, One of my favorite videos so far. Love watching your beautiful garden wake up and share all of it’s little secrets and surprises with you. I am feeling your love of Sugarwood! I love to garden and play in nature.

Seeing those glass frogs brought back memories of my grandmother gathering fresh cut flowers out of her garden to place on the altar in her church for Sunday morning. I have some of her dayllilies in my flower beds and look forward to them blooming every spring. I can’t bring myself to cutting them for a bouquet because they only last a day!

@gardeninggrandma5247 2 года назад

Such a beautiful property! I do love unearthing finds such as your rock wall and thinking about who and when it was done. You certainly have your work cut out for you in the garden this year, just cleaning up and putting your personal stamp on the home to make it your own. I love the fact that you decided to keep a brick walkway in the front. It adds so much to the charm of the front of your home.

@loveandlife4222 2 года назад

I just love this! Such a beautiful yard! That stone wall you found is so awesome!! I also love the brick walkway. I think new bricks would ruin the authenticity and charm of the property. I would just fix what is already there. I can’t wait to see the next video! 🌷👏👏

@cynthiasirois8295 2 года назад

I recently purchased several glass frogs at Country Bumpkin Antiques in Templeton, MA. You should check that place out…it is a very large building chock full of “stuff”!! I also collect flowers in a old basket that I got at The Cooperage in Townsend, MA….also a great place to check out! I have hundreds of daffodils on my property, planted by the prior owner, but surprisingly, no tulips, so I will be planting tulips bulbs for sure this fall! Thanks again Linda for such a lovely video and lots of inspiration🌹

@rjstrotz6144 2 года назад

Greetings, Linda. My inclination would be to de-construct all of the stone walls [assuming they are not cemented together] and re-configure the walls. I would also use the stone to build pedestals for potted plants and garden statuary... but that's just me. You might find secret messages and hidden treasures in the nooks and crannies of the walls. Would be such a fun [yet labor intensive and time-consuming] project.

@lesliesgarden6798 2 года назад

Hi Linda - I love your videos and your beautiful gardens! I, too, enjoy digging up old walls and pathways. It’s like being an archeologist. One word of caution, however. It looks as tbough the previous owners planted a fair number of invasive plants such as the lilies of the valley and the vinca. Both of these can choke out native plants and reduce the habitats for native insects, birds and mammals. There are some beautiful native plants that can take their places more harmoniously. It’s just a thought … Keep up your great work!
