Prayers & rich blessings for all my garden friends! Today was 80ish & I was thrilled to be able to sit under our maple, feel a breeze, & appreciate my gardens. So very thankful! June was very hot with no rain at all. Greetings from Holland Michigan.
Similar weather conditions just north of Traverse City, zone 6. No temps above 82° in the forecast through the end of July. Happy to be able to cool off in Lake Michigan as I live in an OLD house without AC.
Yes here in central lower Michigan (Lansing) zone 5 we have been enjoying the coolest July in recent memory!
Sounds like earlier this summer for me. But no humidity which was very odd. Blessings.🎉

I love Holland,Michigan.
There is a shop that sells salty Dutch licorice,just the way they like it in the Netherlands,it’s worth the trip from Ohio just for that(but other things too)
I'm in Kansas zone 6 and it's overcast and 89*. I spent my morning fertilizing my annuals that are planted in pots. After that I tidied up my firepit area. My covered patio has a ceiling fan and I ate my lunch outside. It did sprinkle briefly. Garden on friends!
I'm in Colorado Springs. Today the high is supposed to be 95. This morning it was 57 and, after two weeks of being in the intense heat and humidity down South, I loved my morning walkabout to deadhead, weed, and see what changed while I was away. My Shasta Daisies are showing out the most in my garden right now. They love the sun and hot temps. I can cut enough for a beautiful bouquet without missing any of the blooms outdoors. Discovering your channel this spring has brought me so much peace and joy. I'm a middle school teacher and will miss my mornings in the garden when classes resume in a few weeks.
Love how simple changes like the pineapples give the garden a new look.
Sharing and caring the beauty and present is the way the universe can grow bigger and bigger that's the way Linda is doing thanks ❤
Hi Linda, Pam Cummings from Bakersfield CA. We are 106 today. Like you, no cool weather in sight!! Love watching you and Stewart 😊
I love the switch with the pots and finials. The finials look prefect by the front lower stairs.
Minnesota zone 4. 85, partly sunny and rainy tonight. Long winters here, so we enjoy all the warmth Mother Nature gives us.
I'm in the CA Sierra foothills, zone 8b. It'll be in the upper 90's for the foreseeable future. The older I get, the less I like the heat. Take care everyone.
Hi, Linda. I don't mean to complain, but the last month or so the volume on your videos has been a lot lower than in the past. Even turned up full volume I can barely hear you, until an ad blasts me out. I am really impressed with how well your garden has turned out. I've been following since the beginning and I can't believe it's only been, what? 6 months. Impressive. Thanks for all you do and share.❤
I agree about the low sound. I also to try the volume up to full and it’s still difficult to hear until ad comes on and it’s too loud. X
I agree on the volume also...
I am on the eastern end of I-40, on the NC coast at Wilmington. We are zone 8a. The current temp is 79; the humidity is 80%, and it feels like 85 degrees at 6:27 p.m. EST. I can garden outside now, but I would be drenched in sweat in 10 minutes. Lots of hydration needed.
Sure miss your "Wet and Wild" lipstick. It really makes your brilliant white smile pop. Zone 7A , I never miss a gardening segment.
I'm in Zone 8a just north of San Antonio, TX, but it feels equatorial. For the last 45 days we've had temps between 98 and 104 degrees. Heat index is higher. And worse, not a drop of rain. Climate change is real indeed. I am gardening vicariously through YT channels. Love watching you,
I live in SW Ohio Zone 6A - it is so humid, that the 86 F temps make you wilt. Plus we are having hazy skies due to the wildfires in Canada. I am grateful that we are having rain. :)
I’m in Zone 9a N. FL. Todays high 92, full sun, 76% humidity. My garden is doing good, especially my Limelight Pinnacle Hydrangeas. I received four of them in 3 gallon pots shipped from Proven Winners in April ‘23. The football shape blooms are beautiful. Happy to see your garden is doing well also!
Hi I am in S Fl zone 9b I hv always wanted Pinnacle Hydrangeas and am so scared they wont do well in out hot humid weather. I have never seen them anywhere in any garden around me either ….so happy they are doing well for you.
I live in Zone 7 and it has been very hot - in the 100's. We haven't received a lot of the precipitation you have. We farm and are trusting that God will provide the moisture we need. Beautiful flowers!!
I'm reading the comments and thinking "Bless the hearts of all my fellow gardeners, who are experiencing dreadful heat and/or drought! We can only do what we can do, so enjoy what you can, and count the days until fall! 🍷🍺🥂🥃🍹🍸🥤🧋🧉🧃
So true~
Yes mostly these hot days I’m am watering and that’s it! Praying for rain!!
Panama City FL Zone too hot and too humid! Love your videos and learning a lot. We are wearing our weather right now. I've started gardening again after several years. Inspired by you and others. Thank you.
Hello Linda, I'm in northeast Indiana zone 6 and the weather has been all over the place! Hot and dry then a downpour to about maybe a cup of rain between more hot and dry. Next week we got high 90's with a heat index between 102 to 105. Shade area is getting morning sun afternoon shade and hot afternoon sun on some parts, this is the north side. The south side now gets morning shade very hot afternoon sun back to dappled evening shade. Perennials that i have been growing for the last two to three years have all been moved around! But I love it! Your garden MAGNIFICENT!
Linda don’t wait for your garden journal - grab a pretty notebook and make your notes! You wouldn’t regret it!
I’m in Zone 7B. 96 degrees at 6:30 PM. Thanks for all your shared knowledge and endless passion for gardening. I learn from you every day!
I live and garden in zone 8a on the southern coast of Virginia. Very hot and humid. Fortunately, we are getting adequate rain, so much less watering than last year at this time. We still have August to go! Compared to other states in our beautiful country that are really suffering with extreme 100+ heat, we are hanging in there, mid 90’s. The high humidity here makes it unpleasant to be outside for any length of time. Thank you Linda, Stuart, and team for such great content! The new cottage garden is enchanting!
Greetings from zone 6a Michigan is rained for four days at first I was glad then after day 2 ENOUGH! My container garden soaked it all in😀 it’s been in the 80’s everything looks beautiful vegetables and flowers.❤️🙏🏽❤️
Absolutely beautiful. I am impressed that your trees are casting shade already. I sure enjoy watching.
Zone 7B in Kennesaw, GA, we’re melting… going to be 93 tomorrow! Your garden is exploding!🎉💐👏
Houston, zone 9a and it’s been 105° for over two weeks now but feels like 112 because of our humidity. My poor little garden is barely hanging on but I’m determined to keep every plant alive. I’m out there watering at 7:00am and have moved some of my pots to some shaded areas.
I’m in Houston also and am just trying to keep everything alive. I miss being in my garden! This heat is difficult.
Gosh it’s brutal here! I had a day of “feels like” 119° the other day. The plants still blooming are coneflower, zinnias, gomphrena, verbena, and salvia. All the other flowers are basically, “See you in October, sister.”
I like the finials new spot!🪴
Yes it’s suppose to rain last week never did in SoCal zone 10b today it’s 92. Thanks for a wonderful Wednesday Walkabout I always enjoy seeing you and Stewart ❤
Hi Linda , I have been following since your move to your adorable quaint cottage. I am so inspired by your insight and design of your gardens. I live in Wisconsin zone 5 and the weather here has been hot and dry , we need rain desperately, it’s been a challenge to keep the gardens and grass thriving. How I would love to have you as a neighbor!
We live in coastal Virginia (7b) with temperatures in the mid 80s - low 90s with high humidity. We have had ample rain and this is a relief after our period of drought last year. Gardenias, hydrangeas, Rose of Sharon, hosta blooms and a variety of annuals are flowering. We had a cool spring and I loved working in our garden. This month I go outside at 6:30 a.m. in order to avoid the heat and humidity - back in by 8:00 a.m. I enjoy your videos and have learned so much by some wonderful gardeners on CZcams!
We are in an extended heat wave in zone 9B Northern California. Really a typical July. Our spring was glorious. And your garden is glorious!
Love the window box❤️
Zone 7B, North MS. It has been hot here for the past 4 days: mid to upper 90s and extremely high humidity. It was 102 when I got in my car to leave work at 5 yesterday afternoon. However, rain forecast for today and tomorrow with a sunny low of 64 and high of 87 on Sunday. What a gift! That's been the trend this summer. We will have 4 or 5 days of intense heat and humidity, but there has not been a 10 day outlook without some rain in the forecast. Of course, we still have August and the first half of September to get through, and that's when we've traditionally experienced our hottest and driest times. I hate August--I wish I could just hibernate. It is an endless time of dragging around the water hose and keeping plants from dying. And yet I will order my tulips in the upcoming days in order to get the colors and varieties I want.
Hello Linda! I love your videos! Especially the ones where you include gardening, thrifting, exercise and interior designs!
You inspire me! I'm in central California in the valley -9b.
We have had 100+-115 degrees F for 2 weeks now. August is projected to be in the 90's. I'm planning my Fall garden now.
I'm in New Jersey. On Monday it was 82 but felt like 90 because of the humidity. Today (according to my weather info) is a much cooler day at 81 which feels like 86. It's not too bad this evening.
Hi Linda! You look so fit in your workout attire. Richmond, Va. zone 7a
🌱🌿🌻
95 was the high today in middle GA, zone 8a, but get ready for it…91% humidity! I water & weed early morning & had some repotting to do today but by 10:30am, I was drippy & miserable. I’m lucky to get watering done now. Take care & stay cool!
I’m in Texas. Very hot over here. I just love your garden. I can’t wait to see your new backyard steps.
I'm here in the UK and it's been pretty cool and wet for July, especially compared to last year when we were hitting 40 degrees! Today we're at just 16 degrees. But my garden's green and happy and the flowers are blooming 😊😊
I’m from Toronto. Zone 6. I forgot to lift my calla lilies last fall and 5 of them are growing inground!! Amazing!
It’s only in the high 70s to mid 80s and not too humid. We’re getting plenty of, but not too much rain. The season started late but since then (early to mid June) it’s been wonderful
I’m in South Carolina zone 8. Today has been nice…only 87. Love your gardens!
Calif. north of Sacramento zone 9b, it has been hot just lately, 108
Toooo hot!
Hi ,Inda. Am in zone 6 massachusetts. We have had major rain and thunderstorms daily and very humid temps. Today was the first blue sky day that we've had for a while.. am trying to savor this!!!
🌿💗💐 So, I’m not the only one. I check in with my Mom for our local forecast. She’s about 3-4 miles away across the state line and we generally have the same weather most of the time (though we are in different cities and states…lol). However, she watches the news and I trust her report more than my app because whatever she says, usually happens and whatever I read does not or it changes last minute. 😅So, Yes!!! 💐💗🌿
Linda. No matter the temperature your garden looks great! I am in Florida zone 9b. Very hot here. The flowers are doing well here and have to be watered daily. Tropical area. Your garden looks great. Thanks for sharing! Very nice!!❤
Zone 5 B in eastern central Indiana. Tomorrow 86 is the highest all week and 80's all week and 60's at night. Wonderful.
I am in Arlington, Texas and it is HOT! It was 106° today, 107° yesterday with 100°+ as far as you can see, with the exception of a cold front on Sunday - 96°, burrrrr. We have missed almost all of the rain, so our plants are getting watered daily, but they are still struggling a little bit in the heat of the day. Typical Texas weather.
Yes my weather apps are all over the place!!! I’m in Muskogee county so my weather has been hot the last couple of days. I have no complaints though this summer has been pretty fantastic compared to the heat and drought of the summer! My veggie garden is thriving!! Take care!!
Hi Linda I am in Canon City CO moved here in October from your beloved Salida CO, We had 2 days of 100 now back in the 90's and just had a short rain shower. The house I bought built in the 80's , the front yard was professionally landscaped and then not maintained , so I had Juniper shrubs so over grown you could hardly see the great stucco and rock house behind it, so after watching your videos for years I just topiaried them and created flower beds around them (spent Nov-April digging out buried granite landscape rock) and reused them. The backyard was concrete patio with a large area on each side in gravel, Now one side is my Zen garden and the other my Parterre garden. I am anxiously waiting for my Vater Garden Journal so I can record my Aha's and my mistakes for next year. Love your video's and watching the Cottage on the Hill become so beautiful !!
I’m in Waco, TX zone 8b. We have had triple digits for several weeks straight now. Highest being 106 so far. Simply trying to keep plants and pots alive at this point.
Still on water ration from last year.
I am from Connecticut. Temps have been in the Eighties for July. Rain a couple of times a week. Beautiful garden summer this year. Love visiting you. You have a wonderful gift for teaching and use of vocabulary.
Kentucky 6b here. It was 86 and humid today. We have been getting a lot more rain this year. I enjoy all of your videos with my morning coffee. I can’t wait to see how your backyard turns out!
I live and garden in Vermont, zone 5a. The temperatures here have been in the 80’s lately but the humidity has been oppressive. And then there’s the rain…. over 8 inches in the past week alone. Many areas of my state have been dealing with flooding and mudslides which are rare here. I agree, my weather app predictions are all over the place. I find the meteorologists at a local television station to be the most accurate. Love your beautiful gardens!
You might move the umbrella from the social patio to the porch to protect the boxwoods. Easier to move an umbrella than a bunch of heavy pots.
Good morning from down on the farm. We are in zone 8b. Upper 90s. No rain currently, so I'm hand watering. Sometimes, I drag out the hose, which is 150 feet. Sometimes, I use the 15-gallon tank on the back of my golf cart. I'm not getting a lot of color right now. Mostly, my rudbeckia, cone flower, Balsam, and dahlia started from seed using the winter sowing method. The cone flower are in their second season. BTW I also have rosemary, sage, parsley said purple basil mixed in my borders.
Ya'll have a wonderful day.
Thanks for the advice on the garden knife. One of my favorite new garden tools!!
I’m in western pa, zone 6b. Our weather is all over the place, hot, cool mornings, rain. The only constant is the humidity. Yes, I have 3 weather apps on my phone that reflect different forecasts and they seem to change every few hours. Occasionally we are getting the smoke from the Canada wildfires. My heart goes out to the people of Canada.
In terms of heat, we have been lucky so far. Hope I didn’t just jinx us! 😂
Your garden is looking beautiful!
Lo ve the walk abouts..
I am in Michigan...all my 71 years...and it in the 80's.
I love the heat, without humidity...
Have always had large gardens...people take pictures, towns put my gardens in their store front windows, magazines wanted them..Mostly they were for my husband and me...
After my husband passed, I down sized...my garden is much smaller...but very pretty... very blessed❤
Zone 6b on the Shenandoah and we have had steady mid 90s for a while now. I have had *some* luck in keeping things from burning up but you, as usual, are creating summer miracles
Looks lovely. Here in Lees Summit, MO it has been hot and humid with crazy old school pop up showers that can not be predicted. Sadly we are still in a drought. Hoping if it just keeps this up we will get out of it.
Daydreaming of Fall from Zone 9b in Arizona. Today was 118 degrees and the 20th day in a row over 110 degrees with no end in sight. Our low was 97. In survival mode is an understatement, for both us and our poor plant babies. Zinnias are taking the heat like a champ, though!!
I struggle with the temps in SW Oklahoma. I forget how oppressive it can be in AZ. My sister still lives in Phoenix. I just bought my dog niece some booties so she could walk to the dog park. I don't remember it being so oppressive in the 70's &80's.
Way too hot. Please stay safe.
Looking foward to temps upward of 90s for the next couple weeks with no rain in sight in Spokane , WA. Yikes! Doesnt make working outside very pleasurable but this too shall pass. Linda, your garden is amazing and your little cottage is adorable.
One hour south of Buffalo NY, zone 5b, 84 here today, and I live in mostly shade. Love the window box, I guess while I love a formal garden, I appreciate the freeness of nature doing her thing. Thanks Linda.
Absolutely love watching this new garden grow and change! I ordered your new garden journal and can’t wait for it to arrive. Would you consider doing an instructional video showing the best way to use it? I’ve tried before to take garden notes and I’m not sure I’m organizing the information in a relevant manner! Thank you so much!
Hello all, today was rainy in zone 7, here in NC! We got to cool off a little today. I love your content, Linda, I’ve learned so much.
I live on the southern Oregon coast, 9b, and we are still sitting mostly in the high 60s. I'm thankful that we aren't having temps as high as so many of you are because, with our humidity, it would be horrible. So, I will be patient and hope that some warmer days are ahead for us. I know my garden would appreciate it. 🥀🌻 My dwarf rose Canna is only about 1 foot tall so far but my roses are gorgeous!
Zone 6b here in south central Kentucky. Its been in the 80s with a storm each day this week. Sun in the forecast for the next few days though! Praying it isn't block out by the haze from the Canadian wildfires. Slowing down my direct seeded zinnia growth. Very weird. Your grass by the street looks awesome!
Love your walkabouts Linda. It feels like I’ve visited a close friend.
Hi! I’m in zone 5b/6a! The weather has been beautiful for the last couple days. We had some rain earlier today but it blew right out.
Anticipating the reveal of the back yard steps!!!!!
To another Linda! I live in zone 9A and it is going to be in the high 90s for 3 days. We have had a lot of rain prior...so much that the leaves on knockout roses turned lime green in places. Enjoy you videos.
83 and beautiful. We did have horrible heat but it seems to have broken. We have had great rain after a short drought earlier this summer. My garden is HAPPY!
Just like to say that your garden and your garden ideas are great keep it up I love following you❤
Oh my, your garden has done so well!! And, I LOVE your window box! I live in Versailles, Ky. which is zone 6a and 6b. We have had a lot of rain, which has been really nice for all my container plants, but I gotta say, that even with lots of rain, the temps. have been hot and humid!! We are not in the 100's, but it has been a hotter summer for sure! I have had to water, even after an early morning rain, in the evenings! We are adding an addition on our house, so ALL my plants this year are in containers! Can't wait to do some landscaping this Fall! And as always, I am getting some GREAT ideas from watching you! Much love and blessings to you and Stewart...
Hi Linda, Peggy from zone 6 in Pennsylvania about 2 hour drive northwest of Philadelphia Our summer has been very hot and humid, high 80's and low 90's with thunder storms quite often. My boxwood are looking great! Love your new back steps and can't wait to see them finished.
Hi Linda Zone 8A NC. Yes it's hot mid 90's daily with 100 percent humidity! Thanks for all the info you share!
I'm in Vancouver WA, zone 9b and it's 94 here at 4pm. I have a small backyard, mostly shaded in the afternoon, my plants are doing well as long as I've watered thoroughly in the morning. Love your new garden!
Sorry, zone is 8b
I love the switch with the finials and pots of annuals right now. The pots are highlighted by the porch where there isn’t as much color. I live in southern PA and it has been around 90 most days with high humidity.
Just love your garden. I’m in Oregon close to Mt. Hood and it’s hot, but not bad today was in the 90s, the rest of the week and into next week shows upper 80s and 90s. I love it 🥰
Love your garden . Live in Australia and so enjoying your new garden
9b Scottsdale AZ. “It’s a dry heat” lol 😂 😂😂
Troubleshooting irrigation daily as these temps are deadly to our more tender plants. We do water our huge native saguaros, organ pipes and barrel cactus in the dead heat of summer. We water by hose approximately a one hour very slow stream on each of these huge desert giants. They appreciate it. Not necessary of course, but seems a kind thing to do. When the monsoons with rain finally come it is a relief to all!
Footnote….once a month for the huge old cactus.
Pittsburgh 6b - high 80’s for the next several days, but we have had some rain- even some big downpours.
Linda, because of your channel I saw encore azaleas and bought two this spring. They didn’t bloom then, but they are setting buds now - salmon colored! I’m excited!!
Love your garden!! I'm in California ( Central Valley area) very hot 106 days-- some days it cools at night which is strange! Sumer was late this year- it stayed cool into June.... some days.
Nice change between the finials and those pots. I am in Central Florida zone nine. my forecast is pretty consistent every day. Heat warnings every day. Temps in high 90s to 100, hot and muggy with spotty severe afternoon thunder showers, tomorrow repeat. next week….Repeat
Everybody, please stay extra hydrated. Try to be in during the afternoon. Stay safe out there.
Hi Linda! I’m in 9a and we’re cooking to the temps between 113-118 in Scottsdale, AZ - Looking forward to rain
Sometime, anytime!! 💦 Enjoy you and your lovely cottage so much.. you’re my inspiration!
How exciting to see the East sidewalk repaired. Have a great day. cgzone8
I’m in Scotland, The Scottish Borders to be exact.
Our weather for the past month has been abominable! It has been so wet and cold. Todays afternoon temperature is 13c, thats 55f!!!
I’m lighting the log burner right now this Sunday afternoon…
Hi linda and Stewart, I agree with you linda none of my Weather applications, have any consistency. I am in zone five the Chicagoland area and we’ve actually had one of the best summers that we’ve had for a long time. Lows in the mid 60s during the day mid 70s to high 80s but we have had many days of haze with the air quality from the Canadian fires. Love your channel.
We are hot here in NE Arkansas zone 7 and the mosquitoes are terrible. Love your program.
South central Texas 8b. We have had twenty-five 100*+ days so far in 2023. We've had 9 days under 100* since June 18th. The last week or so has been 105* most everyday.
You guys keep siphoning off our rain! 😜🤣
I’m in the DFW area 7b and it’s been about 104 😮 I’m looking forward to tomorrow because it should be 95🎉. Who knew 95 would sound wonderful for a day❤
Everything looks beautiful! We are in Wilmington, NC and the temperature is in the upper 90's with the humidity making it over 100. It is just physically draining!
Watching from New Zealand . We are in mid winter, temp right now is 13 Celsius, I think mis 50s for you guys overcast windy and rain forecast . I live in the North of the North Island, zone 10 on a wee hill so no frosts this year, just way way to much Rain. We have had so much rain this year we are already at the YEARS average of 1526mm , in your language over 60 inches , so think I may lose some plants like bedded Iris , and Dahlia which tend to rot when to wet in my heavy ground. Dahlia we don't have to lift as a rule ! By the way you have made such a difference to the look of your wee cottage, from Bland to Bang her I am ! So lovely to watch the transformation. I am looking forward to see it next spring and beyond when it's all bedded in and will look like its been there forever.
We live in SW France and so far have escaped the fierce temperatures of the Southern regions. A Zone 6 and a few days of 30 degree plus but mostly in the 20 degree range. After a wet spring, unusually, the garden is fairing very well and I am delighted. Your garden is a inspiration 😁😎🇫🇷👩🌾
Good morning from Vienna Austria, we are enjoying the cooler weather today. Weather to reach 82,4 Fahrenheit.😊
I’m in zone 3B/4a Calgary, Alberta. I chanced it this spring and put my annuals out one whole month early.
I usually wait until June 1st. My gamble was based on the excellent CZcams channels I subscribe to.
I recommend POW Ponder on Weather and Pacific Northwest Weather Watch. Their predictions and maps are excellent and though they don’t cover my region specifically they provide what I need to get a good idea of what’s headed my way😊.
Your garden is looking marvellous😍
Everything is looking so lush, Linda. I’m looking forward to the zinnias coming up and blooming. The left side is looking a little anemic. Some color will perk it up. 💖😊
Hi Linda & gardeners..
we’ve had a huge lighting/ rain storm last night!! Nice relief in beautiful Colo
We were in a severe drought but recently have received towards four inches of rain in a few weeks ! So grateful! We went from high desert weather to tropical 😅 central Mo . High of 90 today
I'm in zone 6 in New Jersey. Our weather is rainy, hot and humid. When you check the weather app it shows rain every day but then it's constantly changing. I'm constantly checking my plants to make sure they're getting enough water.
I agree, my weather apps are all different, every day! I garden in southern WV zone 6b, weather is all over the place also!! More rain than I've seen this month in the 3 years I've lived here. Temps in the 80's. Very humid! Your garden looks amazing!
