I bought the lot beside my house and beside the house behind me. So 2 lots front to back of each other. I’ve been just clearing. It’s just 2 undeveloped lots. And I’ve gotten A Lot done by myself starting in fall last year. And it’s because of watching your channel and a few others. You are a light! You’re an inspiration and a natural born teacher and motivator.
Hi Matthew, I love seeing your plans. Tbey all look great. I am in the UK and have a tiny garden only 45 feet square. I moved in about 6 months ago, but it is a property that comes will my job, ßo I will only be here for 5 years. The people before me didn't do any gardening. The whole garden had stone mulch. It has taken me a lot of hard work to move and get rid of all the stones. I have made the flower bed larger and hope to add some evergreen plants as well as a few hydrangeas. Be light!
Thank you Mathew for taking the time to explain your plans, it will be very exciting to watch follow its progress! “ Be a light” is a wonderful ending….❄️🇨🇦❄️
Oh Matthew, you made me smile referring to your grandmother pronunciation of Pecan’s ❤😊. I however, from NC, my MawMaw and I say “Pe-Can” 😉
Let the southern debate give us joy!
I’m sorry you’ve been pronouncing it wrong all this time! 😂
We’ll agree to disagree 🤣
I agree with you ... !!!@@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden
I have two major projects this season: build a new greenhouse, since the old one collapsed under a foot of heavy snow; and start a new flower bed to reduce the lawn area. It is always exciting to dream and plan.
I have an older garden , 20 years to be exact. I hope to divide many perennials, and fill in gaps. Always nice to “shop” your own yard!
Excited to see your progress! Thank you for giving an insight into your dreams!
Your closing reminder to "Be a light" is succinct yet motivational. Visiting your channel allows us a place to NOT be reminded of the world full of hate and provides respite and peace. This was a great, informative video and allows us to orient ourselves on your property and understand your future goals.
I only have a small lot; but over the last thirty years, I've enjoyed watching things sleep, creep, and leap. I plan to try a Gertrude Jekyll Climbing Rose this season so will be paying close attention to your techniques with your new James Galways. Thank you for sharing.
I love your videos, Matthew, and look forward to seeing what spring brings. I’m redoing my front garden to make it more of a cottage garden, to match the style of my house. So I share your enthusiasm.
p.s. Love your “be a light” motto. In a world with a lot of hate, you bring a lot of light.
I love how much thought you have put into your plans. It’s going to be gorgeous! Pecan & magnolias 👍🏼. Big picture - wonderful.
It will be very exciting to see your ambitious plans come to life! Enjoy the journey. I will be enjoying gardening vicariously thru you Matthew as I have some mobility issues this year. I love your new tag line. You do bring light to your viewers through your love of plants and nature. 🙂
We've lived on our property for over 10 years. It came with some beautiful landscaping that was just not my style. Just last year I finally got up the nerve to start removing things and planting new to make it my own. Watching your journey has taught me so much and has given me the confidence to dig in. Thank you for being a light for me!
We bought a 1938 Ford 550 flatbed truck. I am excited to turn it into a flower truck. Best part my husband is just as excited.
So excited to watch your plans come to life. 🤗 Thank you for sharing your journey. 🥰
Hi Matthew, I'm excited to watch your progress on your garden. I've been hooked since I first seen your hydrangeas with your arborvitie years ago. I knew you would give me the insight to have a romantic garden. We are excited to plant a semi-formal rose garden. We have ordered 20 David Austin and Kordes roses. Thank you for all you do to present such good information.
Woah! Very nice! It’s definitely going to be a year of roses! I’m excited about them too.
We took down 6 huge Loblolly pines last Fall. I've got a new sunny patch as a result that I'm gonna fill with 6 David Austin roses that I ordered several months ago. So excited!
We took down two huge trees on the side of the house, so I will now have a more sunny garden.
Matthew, I can just picture a long row of Eastern Redbud all along the driveway!
You are going to be off and running in the spring 💚🌸🌸
I love seeing this, thank you Matthew. This is my second season in my current home and I want to add some raised beds for a few veggies. It's certainly does take planning and $$$ to get our gardens up and running, but the joy and peace of mind they provide is well worth the investment.
Looking forward to seeing everything coming to life!
I agree about the pronunciation of the word, pecan! I was born and raised in Alabama, too, and my grandmother had pecan trees. My favorite nut to eat! I now live in Parkersburg, WV. How nice it would be to plant pecan trees here. I enjoy your videos and information shared! Thank you!
This year is a rethink year due to drought and water restrictions. I'm looking at drought tolerant veggies then onto annual flowers.
Water - when I bought my property the brook running along the back side made me excited because I knew my plants would always be watered. 😊 I’d love to put in a system to pump it to the gardens. Your property and plans are exciting! ❤
Hi Matthew! I always enjoy the videos where you show us your plans for your property in the next year/years. It's fun watching your progress in the different areas. Your property just gets better all the time! You do have your work cut out! Thank you so much for sharing!
Good hearted jealous of all the space to create. Less jealous of the actual work. You accomplish in a weekend what takes me all summer to accomplish. I have ordered several trees/ plants for spring. I am ready to be outside playing in the dirt.
My sentiments exactly!!
We live on a farm in southern MN although we have “retired” from full time farming..3 years ado we had to have windbreaks taken down as all of the spruce trees were dead or dying..we had planted them about 45 years ago. While it was sad it offered the space to enlarge our veggie garden and a mark out a large hydrangea and rose garden for me. This year I want to add some decorative fencing around this garden that will coordinate with my rose trellis and of course a few more roses!
I loved your old garden and I can’t wait to see what you do. I’m super excited and happy for you.
Top of the list - create focal points in key spaces in the garden, including planting metasequoia that grow more slowly for texture and a splash of truly special color in the fall -- that pairs well with stewartia.. Zone 6 - New England
I want to expand flower/veggie beds, and lean how to use irrigation system.
Irrigation saves so much time and allows your to conquer other garden tasks instead of spending time hand watering! Good luck!
Looking forward to planting lots of cut flowers and a few climbing roses.
I’m excited for all my roses I bought around Christmas!! Can’t wait to smell all the delicious blooms
Revamping my vegetable garden and finishing off my greenhouse!
Adding some different perennials in my grandson’s memory garden.
It was good to see your plans, Matthew. Going to be interesting and exciting to see you work on them. Our plans include a gravel patio with fire pit in the back, expanding the gardens there and doing the front sidewalk garden.
How beautiful everything will be…. Your long driveway would be lovely lined with trees.
I also love a Redbud! I planted one in the fall and am hoping it is doing well as I have done everything I can to get it established. Looking forward to spring buds! You garden plans sound great!!
As the owner of a GC in southern Ontario I totally agree with you regarding installing a greenhouse. Heating can be quite costly and sometimes not cost effective!
I'm excited about planning a greenhouse. We had a tornado in 2022 that took down one of our big barns and the space is now screaming for a greenhouse. It's been fun dreaming about it, but also sort of intimidating. It's all a new learning curve to me.
Fun video Matthew, so exciting! Thanks for sharing!
I’m excited…my first greenhouse is being delivered next week. Hoping to grow my flower and vegetable seeds soon to get an early start for 2024.
I enjoy learning from your videos! I’m planning to revamp my front garden as well as large expansion to backyard gardens. You give me inspiration!
For your future orchard, check out the book “Grow a Little Fruit Tree” by Ann Ralph. I believe the author learned the fruit tree pruning process from the Dave Wilson Nursery. There's a Dave Wilson Nursery You Tube channel which explains their fruit tree pruning method which keeps fruit trees low and within reach. It’s always fun to try something new!
I have enjoyed your videos for 2 years so far and have been amazed at how you have the eye for design and talent for making both of your house gardens so full and beautiful. This year I am pre-ordering my annuals for my many container gardens for my 2 layer patio. I have a few large perennial gardens that I have learned more from you and other youtube gardeners. You inspire my imagination! Lives in SE Pennsylvania
Thank you for following along!
Oooh I’m most excited for ranunculus in spring… I planted 300. Summer- my 40+ roses will be hitting full stride. Most in their second year but a few in their third year. Very excited to be outside again 😂
Edit: I’m very glad that I took up gardening young because at this point I’m on my dad’s property so i know it’s not my forever garden. When I move out I’m going to have replace my high maintenance roses with easier plants that way it doesn’t all go to waste.
I really hope to add a small parterre garden with a fountain this year. Just one of many plans.
Great pair of videos - I cant wait to watch it happen! Also wise choices to get infrastructure in place and being really thoughtful/planning for the future. I'm converting some of our full hot sun front yard (bermuda grass😮) to bed using chip drop, as soon as it arrives!
Such exciting plans! I recently downsized from a 3000 sq ft house in zone 6 (I deserved a private parking space at Natorp’s!) to a 1000 sq ft old home in zone 8. I keep planting and learning. So much fun!
All of your plans are so exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing all of your progress! This summer I cannot wait to put in walkways in the front and along the side of my house, as well as grow a bunch of veggies and perennials and some annuals too.
This is so exciting and it's good you're being reasonable about what you can do this year. I would encourage you to check in with you county Extension office as they would have recommendations for you regarding fruit and nut trees for your area.
I'm growing geraniums from seed from Swallowtail Seeds. The place I always bought geraniums from for years and years went out of business. Lowes geraniums just didn't match up so I decided to try growing from seeds myself😊
I am most excited about planting more Japanese maples and evergreen shrubs and trees, and seeing the ones I planted last year grow and color up. Thanks for asking!
Yes! Can never have too many
Japanese maples!
I bought a property in he summer of 2022 butsince I can't do much right now I bought a lot of plants that are still in the pots and have no idea what happen with them with all the freezing temps we had! When you depend on others that don't necessarily care for a garden, is just like that! Is I had money I would have hire some help butthis way...... It suck when you can't do things yourself! Anyway, one day maybe I will have a garden! Blessings!
I am further planting beds I expanded last year focusing on more Evergreen interest and hoping to turn the neglected veggie garden into something beautiful and more structured. Love your videos 🌿
Your vision for the new property is absolutely beautiful! Will be watching the progress! This summer I am most excited to enjoy the fruit trees, blackberries and strawberries planted last spring. I also put out a large garden and will start many vegetables and annuals in my greenhouse, excited to see them grow and share with others. You are right about the greenhouse, difficult to use and heat in winter, but wonderful to use in early spring.
Terrific aspirational video Matthew! You’re going to have a spectacular garden. In the fall we built a deck and finally started landscaping our back yard. So this year we want to install a drip irrigation system and further develop the garden with additional beds, perennials and annuals. Lots of fun projects for the spring and summer 😊. Good luck with all your plans!
It’s going to be an exciting year! Last year we installed a new fence of wood and wire panels. One side I lined with hydrangeas, one side dwarf fruit trees and the other berry bushes. Also put in a new perineal flower bed. This year I will be adding much more. I ordered my first climbing rose! Thank you for the discount from Heirloom Roses!
I am from Georgia and it is pe..can.😂😅 Love your videos and I just planted Little Gem magnolia...
That’s a good one! The magnolia, not the pronunciation. 😜
I have 3 new areas to prepare as garden beds. I’m excited to use sculpture and garden art this year
Thank you Mathew. Good luck in all you do. ❄️🫠💚🙃
Thought it was such a nice reminder! Be kind!
I’m in Ohio also, Wapakoneta area. Our home is surrounded on two sides by a deciduous woods. I’m hoping to add a hedge of hydrangeas and a lot more evergreen interest this year.
I LOVE your ideas for your new property; it’s going to be fantastic!
Thank you Matthew for always being so inspirational!! Feeling so lucky to have someone like you to follow on garden in the same area, it gives me some confidence. We have a west facing slope which is dapple shaded by the trees, and it is such a prefect spot for shade plants. Love love love all colors of heuchera, astilbe, can create my own mophead hydrangea land!! Eeeeek.... so excited!! I know you had rising sun eastern redbud tree in your previous property, have you looked into the Flame Thrower redbud? Oh my.... it has all colors on one tree! I got my groom Springhill Nursery, bare roots, not too expensive.
When it comes to crabapple trees, I thought I was the only one who had so much trouble with the trees, they did like 3 years after planting, poorly performed.
I'll have to install the drip irrigation system first, which I saved your 2 videos taking about it, so i can watch and learn as I go.
Thanks again for sharing your experiences, knowledge, and design, appreciate it so much!
I love your vision Matt. Can’t wait for spring to follow your journey
Talk about what shade plants you'd use in a full shade bed. Curious.
Im excited about the new vegetable garden areas that i am making this year. Hope i have enough energy to keep up on all my visions. Lol.
My battle is going to be pulling weeds out of a new garden area that I’m developing . And slowly making new beds. I ordered three roses ( your fault 🙂 ) from heirloom roses and I still need to decide where they will be best placed. I know three roses isn’t a budget breaker for most people but when you live on social security it takes a chunk out of your money to live on every month. Not complaining really but if wishes were horses………❄️🫠💚🙃 I’m also hoping to move sheep manure from the barn to my new garden space. Hoping my grandson can help me. ❄️🫠💚🙃
Thanks for the inspiration. This will be my first full season in my garden. I'm looking forward to adding irrigation (thanks for your videos on that) and planting shrubs and lots of perennials.
You give so much inspiration! My big spring project is to expand a way too narrow flower bed on the south side of my house.
Go big or go home! 😁
Yep, I’m in kind of the same boat…an acreage that didn’t have much planted at all just full of wild bush and trees, lots of which had to be taken down.
We too need to get irrigation to the different planting areas but are running water lines only to the areas with then place posts for the taps and hose reel. Because we have a well and the property is so large we do not want to fight with the hard water clogging up sprinkler heads every couple of years and only knowing about a clog when the area is dead.
It’s ok in our case as we are both retired so have lots of time to go out and water or put down a sprinkler.
I miss your full ending comment… In a world full of hate…it was beautiful!
Love your videos and knowledge,
Thank you Mathew

I’m so excited for my roses this year!!
Most of my beds are now pretty established, but I would like to try to fit in a Gertrude Jekyll climbing rose. Aren't roses wonderful. Best of luck with yours.
I'm super excited for Spring this year too! I invested quite a bit in landscaping starting last year as well. I'm crossing my fingers that what I planted last fall makes it into spring. I know what I am doing in theory, but am very inexperienced. Excited to see your garden grow this year! Thanks for the inspiration and education. Have a great week.
Hello Matthew ❤❤ you are gonna be a busy boy...but it will be so beautiful!!❤❤
I can't wait for spring here in Buffalo NY zone 5 I took out alll my grass out in my back yard and putting in a full garden full sun
This year's challenge is to find a large (tall) enough structure to grow PW Sweet summer love clematis. More importantly, where would be the best place to put it to not cause shade to my sun loving gardens.
I planted one last year on the fence out back! It’s beautiful!
Enjoying you and orders this year mainly to watch and learn, maintain what we have add some veggies ( small set up)
I am hoping to get a few raised beds this years and possibly play around with irrigation. 🤷🏻♀️
I am excited to start my parterre garden and to see my 2nd year boarders develop. Excited to see your designs brought to life 💕
Mathew that plan is so big. Hope you will have some help. I am doing 1 acre by myself and that is huge. So do bits by bits. Today I was only do 2x half hour cutting grass/weed because my battery only last about 1/2 hour. So tomorrow I will do it again than the next day too. Would be nice a ride on mower but I can not afford it so slow progress. Looking forward to see your progress.
I am trying out a few dahlias this year and am excited to jump on that bandwagon.
Can't wait to see your growing plans over the next month or two, thanks for sharing
You mentioned a high tunnel but didn't talk about it too much. How do you expect to use that structure? I'm curious! Also, love the idea of your lavender patch! Thanks for sharing your ideas and I look forward to following along. I am looking ahead for my third gardening season at my house and am excited to see how the garden will continue to evolve. The backyard has been my main focus for the past 2 years, but I am excited to expand the flowerbeds in the front yard this year!
My friend in 6a has great luck with growing oecan grees. She has about a dozen. Looking forward to see all the progression. Water will be the unbeautiful part, but definitely the necessary part. Thanks for all your information.
I'm excited to follow along as your gardens develop! We moved in September and the only plants on the property were 3 sad Arbs they stuck in the yard. I have the entire front all drawn and planned out, and plants ordered. I'm at a loss for the backyard. I'm in Cincinnati, hope to get lots of inspiration from you!
I’m really looking forward to watching how you do the water/irrigation. I have purchased a property and I built a few garden beds last spring, one shade and one sun both perennial beds. I do add some all season color with a few annuals tucked her and there. This will be my second season in this new house & I really want to build a couple of veggie beds and grow some vegetables. However, I have one hose spigot in my back yard and I’m really interested so see how you get water where you need it to go. I know I’m in for a ton of work. Also, I’m needing to put the CZcams down and get some of these seeds I purchased started! lol. Thank you for the update. And I just finished the video you put out about you, your education and your background. I appreciated that very much.
Looking forward to the growing season this year and seeing what you accomplish. I hope the folks that bought your house call you often about getting stuff!! lol 😊♥️
Grew up in a house with manyature trees. It was beautiful with Hostas and lily of the valley. But in spring there had been tons of tulips that were huge and beautiful for spring beauty. Other wise just a few colorful plants. Bit I do live a shade garden.
Not many plans this year have an upcoming surgery and will take some time to recover.
However ladt fall I planted a Royal Star magnolia and a snowball bush and many tulips. Looking forward to that.
Bought a new property in virginia. Looking for inspiration.
I’m looking forward to, hopefully avoiding damping off of my ranunculus this year!
I am on a wait list for a pea patch near my new apartment. I am hoping I get to garden this year.
Hi Matthew, how exciting! This is Annie starting on blank 5 acres in Central Ohio. What do you think about adding a flower shed like Garden Answer? Or will the pole barn be sufficient for you? I need to build an enjoyable space to do gardening chores. Do you plan to clear out the native shrubbery in your woodlands and put decorative shrubs or area or just tidy them up? I love big root hardy geraniums for shade. I got berries from Indiana Berry, their raspberries are thriving and blackberries and hardy figs are still establishing, but the blueberries perish. Love your videos!
I'm hoping to plant a shade garden this year.
Are you going to plant some dahlais in your cut flower area? You had beautiful ones at your last place.
Looking forward to seeing your progress! I believe I saw crops on the drive side of your property. Have you considered the potential of overspray of weed control from the farmland onto your property? I’m especially concerned with the roses being planted beside the barn. I live in north Alabama in the middle of cotton and soybean fields.
Yep, my Georgia family says "pee-can"!
I luv your channel and your thoughtfulness. I am leaning more toward permaculture and native plantings. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Do what makes you happy! I’m not super experienced with or have studied permaculture, but part of my locating the cut flower garden where it is located is because it is downhill and water should flow to that area when it rains. It’s something I’d like to get more into after I build out my ornamental gardens more.
Woodland/shade garden
Yeah I have 30 gardens at memorial Park in New Kensington Pennsylvania and it's at the park and I've been doing it 1820 years out there and 30 gardens and I just love it and Ethiopians or one thing I put quite a few in of they're beautiful cost a little bit more than the regular but they stand up straighter and they don't get the have the trouble that that most regular panties do so I recommend that's a good okay talk to you later then thank you
I purchased all new metal raised garden beds and hopefully installing some sort of drip irrigation. If you have any suggestions I’m definitely open. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease last year which made gardening in July and August extremely difficult. I’m not giving up though just trying to figure out how to make it easier on myself.
Can you plant wildflowers over the septic field?
I just found your channel yesterday and I've really enjoyed watching and learning. I lived in central Virginia for over 30 years and have recently moved back to NE Ohio where I grew up. One of the trees I miss the most from Virginia is the magnolia.
I've planted 3 different magnolia bushes since I've been back but I would love to have a southern magnolia. I'm in zone 6A. Do you think that planting one or two here would be okay and would I have to do anything in the few really cold windy winter days we can have up here? I'm about an hour south or Lake Erie and we do not get a lot of lake effect, just occasionally.
I don’t know. I would recommend you look around locally. If your garden centers are not carrying them, then they may not thrive. I’m about as far up as I’ve seen them recommended.
Thank you.
I planted a Brackens Brown magnolia last summer . It’s a very small one but it did produce a few flowers for me. Hopefully I’ll get a few more this year. ❄️🫠💚🙃
