    I remember seeing the tours of your first home with LV and was highly impressed. Somehow, you've outdone that and created another amazing abode. I absolutely love the changes you and Tommy have made to that classic home. Your efforts are impactful and elevate the entire neighborhood.

    Sydney, your backyard is truly lovely. I agree with you, the view walking in from the driveway is stunning. Love your windowbox and the area below it too-great color combination. Those hanging baskets make a real statement. You are making excellent progress. I live in zone 9 in Florida. Heat and humidity are terrible here too. Thx for sharing your gardens.

    I always have plants sitting around, too. If I were to video my garden there would always be something that needs to be put away or planted. lol

    Beautiful looking garden, its the bees knees. We had a storm two weeks ago and our three leggy geranium rozannes that were in bloom flopped to the ground. We cut them back to the base and they are coming back for a late summer show.

    Oh boy three inches of rain would be heavenly. Sidney glad you did not suffer much storm damage. Kitchen window box and flower bed look so lush and healthy. I love, love the lime glow or lime light barberry and the view from your seating area is so pretty. Flower beds and Bees doing great. Thanks for the backyard update.
    In the corner by the power pole have you thought about a very light weight shade cloth for a little temporary sun protection? My Anacacho Orchid Tree (A&M variety) is at least 15 years old. Just found a seedling that germinate from a pod. I am protecting it with my life and shade cloth. ha ha. Smells heavenly when it blooms in the spring.

    Love how soothing your garden is to the eye.....beauty everywhere in such a serene setting. Your bee hive is pretty and I am so happy to see the bees. You should do a walk thru of your garden accompanied by some very zen music....I would love to have that on my TV! Also ....a live cam of the bee hive would be very cool to watch.

  • @lindaeshbach6494

    Sydney, the back looks great! You have done a marvelous job making this whole property your own. At first I wanted to see how you handled it but I like your style and will continue to watch and learn thins from you. Happy Summer to you and Tommy.( I hope I remembered his name right.)

  • @lianeabeyta4515

    So happy that that hose will be moved. It distracts from the lovely window box and palladium window . The rest is looking good. I do like a more mature landscape, but know that will come in time.

    I absolutely love your home… I followed you from the old house and I’m so proud of you and your husband and all that you have done. But more importantly, I absolutely love your Saint Francis that is guarding you and your garden. Keep it going your hard work shows believe me. Shout out from California.

    Your boxwoods looks great. I think the boxwoods with the sphere shape looks perfect in your back garden as long as they are low and not get out of control in size.
    HAPPY GARDENING

  • @lindagrigsby3699
    @lindagrigsby3699 Před dnem

    The gray color looks so soft and blends well with your brick and landscaping. I never before would have thought of using it but am seeing it more and more in landscaping, homes, and even cars!

  • @helenf9650
    @helenf9650 Před 2 dny +4

    Your garden looks great especially considering that heat blast. 🌸Wouldn’t that extra 2 hedges of boxwood struggle with the heat? I remember the previous gardener had to construct a shade sail to try to beat the heat back there over her boxwoods.
    I think the little wooden fences would look more like your style if you cut the pointed ends off and capped the top rail
    I loved hearing you say you take time to enjoy the view.

    Trumpet vine…if you figure out how to get rid of that, do tell. I’ve been fighting growth in spots from one I cut down 15 years ago. The growth is at its original location as well as up to 10 feet away. We’ve used sucker punch, that stuff that kills trunks and have even injected the shoots with stuff.

    Love the plant combination under the window box. The backyard is looking so elegant and serene. Love all the green on green with touches of blue and purple. Lavender is fantastic. I've been growing it for years. I recently discovered some self seeded amaranthus in one of my beds. I've never planted amaranthus so don't know where it came from. After seeing your experience I'm not sure if I want to let it continue.

  • @santahampton
    @santahampton Před 2 dny

    Agree with you, no boxwoods on the fence to the cut flower area as it would call for symmetry on the other side; plus, I love the barberries, too! You just may want to add boxwoods to replace the lambs ears in the two small pots.

    Oh that Labyrinth dahlia is gonna be amazing, can picture it in one of your bouquets already. So relate to the bit about trying the hydrangea (tag with "full sun") and then ...yeah. Dang intermittent reinforcement ('cuz sometimes it works, lol, and we always hope it's gonna be one of those times). Your zinnias look AMAZING, have the same variety here and while they look good--we're rural (N Texas) and getting hammered by grasshoppers. THANK YOU for another enjoyable video. 🙌🏼

    Speaking of boxwoods being expensive, I have a pair of fully grown decades old, English dwarf boxwoods, one of which seems to have sun scorch from Winter and then more from the sun (not hot sun either 75F). Do you have that type and/or have you had sun scorch before? Is it fatal? How did you deal with it?

      I’m sure Linda knew Sydney was not taking on the property as keeper of what Linda had created but would make it her own. Perhaps in time she will do a tour but she may choose to remember it as she left it. She and Sydney have different gardening styles and viewers need to respect that. Both ladies have accomplished much in their homes and gardens and both gardens are beautiful!

      Some people are clearly so bored with their lives (or simply dull-minded) that they seek to stir up 'bad' for their own amusement on YT channels. They insert "baits" amidst commentary. It's particularly pitiful when they're women of a certain age, IMO. We only get so many days in this life. They're squandering theirs. Linda's yard was beautiful and she's beautiful. Sydney's yard is beautiful and she's beautiful. We learn a lot from them.
