Hey friends, thanks for going along with me today. I appreciate your comments on ideas for a focal point in the new cut garden! You are so inspiring and have such great garden ideas!!!🌸💚 Thanks ❤ for subscribing, liking and sharing!!! Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your garden!🌸💚🌸
Hi! Great video. I like the planter in center of your cut garden. That is my favorite. I deal with deer and have hydrangeas. I recommend...Don't do it. It is minor damage now but it gets worse. I spray and add barriers and netting and the like. It is a lot of work. For low maintenance I would take the Bobos out. Put in a deer resistant evergreen like soft touch holly. Gets 2-3 ft tall and wide and does not have to be pruned if you don't want to. Happy gardening! ⚘️❤️🌷
Thanks for the heads up, we may need to do that with the bobos. 😞 I mentioned some little evergreen arbs small and round that are deer resistant. Isaac wanted to stick with the bobos. We will see next spring if he wants to change them out. Thanks for feedback on the focal point too!🙂🌸💚
Where I live in WI I have never seen such a place that has all the beautiful array of wonderful lawn items & statues as this. I love all the metal trellis & arbors and gates. I know where all my money would go! LOL!
Your son's house is so cute. I like the urn and plinth but a bistro set in a pastel color would be cute too. It would give you a surface to set your supplies on when you are working out there.
Hi Stacy, you are spot on. This morning when I was making the flower bouquet in the garden, that is exactly what I thought… table workspace somewhere in cut flower garden was needed!😉 Isaac picked out all the colors then asked friends and family for input! He never used the front door so opted to replace it for a big picture window … which Cheeto his cat loves!!!😁
I like the urn with the pedestal. It needs some height and that accomplishes it. The birdbath you tried is too small and the bench looks lonely. Yes, deer love flower buds--roses, Hostas, and Fuchsia are favorites in my garden. I will look into the Safer deer repellent. There is a granulated product and also a spray that works well. Also, I spread used coffee grounds around my hydrangea and they haven't bothered them. Good luck.
I agree Barb the black mulch ties in nice with the shutters and roof color! Isaac originally picked out black lava rock online at Home Depot not realizing it was small bags for fire pit/ outdoor fire place stone. He had sticker shock at $2200…. He liked the 3 for $10 option much better….lol..😉💚🌸
I like #3 the urn with flowers, I wouldn't want a bench or table out in the hot sun to sit. Also tell your son to get some liquid fence and spray on his flowers, it works great the deer were eating my hostas and I sprayed it on them and they never touched them again.
Thanks for your focal point feedback and the tip for the deer! We checked again today, doesn’t look like the deer has came back…a few blooms remaining! Good to know another option if it returns.😉🦌
Liquid Fence is great just spray them in the evening and it will keep deer and rabbits away. They hate the smell and it is strong smelling when sprayed on but will subside. It works well I spray once a week and have had no more problems.
Hi Michelle, Every time you go shopping for garden features or thirfting, it gets me inspired to get up and do the same! I love shopping for the garden. Your son's home turned out so nice! Btw, I love your floral blouse. Do you remember where you bought it? Thanks for sharing.😊
Hi Anna, so glad you’re inspired! Thank you for the compliment on Issac’s home, he did a great job picking out new colors for the exterior and adding the new picture window! The floral blouse is from Marshall’s.🌸💚
Thanks Vickie for sharing! Yes, the black metal bench is the lighter weight of the two, (easier to move) I wasn’t planning on using it , but more of a visual if the bench size would work. 😉🌸💚
Earn on pedestel. Get 4 boxwood shaped like cones for each corner of your garden. Later you might want to connect them with small grass or small boxwood. Brings it all togeather. I have an Arch leading into my garden with boxwood surrounding my petenials in one place in my garden.big box stores are now having 50% off sales now!!
I think the bird bath in a little bigger scale sitting in pea gravel planted with some small scale plants...bristol set and arbors are all about in your yard already...js
Hi Michelle, I love the large urn with flowers but also adore the idea of the green painted bistro set, tough choice! I can also picture an arch with climbing roses to enter the space. What an amazing place for garden stuff I'd go crazy there!! The liquid fence is the ticket for your son it really works !
Thanks Pam on the feedback!🙂 go to know on the deer repellent. Yes, lots of great garden decor, I hear you!!! I have to remind myself I can’t put everything in my space!! lol… Yes, hadn’t thought of the green until I had seen some French green park chairs in Paris and Angela @ParisienneFarmgirl uses that shade of green on her outdoor chairs…looks fabulous!🙂💚🌸
I actually like the urn with the pedestal. Maybe a ring of boxwoods around it. I’m sure whatever you decide, it will look great! Your gardens are lovely!
Dear Michelle, Thanks for another fun video! I like the idea of a bistro set, and I also wonder what a wooden one would look like. One of my friends has a set of weathered looking Adirondack chairs with a little wooden table (with a pot of flowers on it) in between them and it always looks so warm and inviting! I’m sure whatever you decide…….it will be perfect! Everything you do (and wear, for that matter) is always lovely!! Love the pretty blouse you have on in the video and your hair looks beautiful!🥰 I always enjoy your videos and listening to your gardening tips! Can’t wait to see what you decide on for your focal point! 💕💕Jackie🪷
i like the biistro set, but i think its too much mulch, and about a circle of it needs taken away and maybe some landscape blocks laid down then sit the bistro table on ,,
His prices are great! Think concrete or color in a larger scale is nice. I still love the birdbath idea just back a little more than where yours was. I definitely did nor care more the big modern bench.
Yes, agree the bench didn’t go but it is the lighter weight of the two. Was looking more for a visual on bench/sizing versus actual style. The birds are loving the bird bath idea too…lol for now it’s still there … I saved moving the heaviest item for last!!🙂💚🌸
Thanks Kathleen glad you like my design style! Good to know but I mispronounce words all the time😉 you will be viewing lots of silent videos then! lol…🙂🌸💚
