BTW... benn watching your old videos. Just can't help myself. Like visiting an old friend, Just watched onie from 1 year ago "What I do dailey in my garden"... you are in the back yard with all the goergeous hydrangeas, the geraniums, the veronica and the iconic potagea. Oh, makes me so nostalgic. Can't wait to see this new backyard take on those Linda Vater aesthetics. I am still having withdrawals.
I agree - I watch old videos of her backyard - it was magical! Not even so much the potage but the rest of her old backyard!
Garden is fabulous!!. I also have seen videos from professional landscapers that warn against having climbing roses or climbing plants trailing up the house as rats and mice and other wildlife will crawl right up onto your house.
Hi Linda, maybe you have ask yourself the next questions:
do you like a building next to your open door
of your great room a good place ?
What is the vieuw from inside out ?
How much light takes it away or give it ?
I love your side-walk.
Have a nice day.
Hi Linda, new viewer here. Your yard is beautiful. When you set your shed against the house wall, remember to leave enough room between the shed and house to do any repair work that may need to be done to the house bricks in the future. Also, to move your heavy pots and other heavy things, use a handtruck with the big air filled tires on it. I am 67, physically limited, and I use one to move small to humongous dirt filled pots, large rocks, stacks of bricks, and large flat cement pavers. Little or no lifting! The loaded handtruck can be manuevered into most any spot you want to set the pots with very little strain on yourself. Just be careful not to let the pot roll sideways when you tilt the handtruck back to roll it to where you're going. My handtruck is one of my most used tools in my gardens.I also use it to move large bags of potting soil from place to place. It's a huge help when you are moving things by yourself and you are a diy landscaper like me. I promise, once you use one, you won't know how you managed without it. Have a great rest of your week!
I use a small dolly. I’m 77 and only 5’ so it’s great for moving large pots, potting soil and mulch!
I wonder if you might want the shed over on the other side closer to the air conditioner because you can get there by way of your little side path from the front. Seems all your utilitarian items could be on that side of new porch.
Your garden is really coming along. I love roses but have to many grandchildren that love to run and play in my yard and I'm always afraid of them getting picked. I had a rose bush when my children were little and my daughter got a thorn in her leg and I never knew until it poked out of her leg! You should have Stewart cross the side street and show us your side yard from across the Street, it's kind of hard to envision it.
Lovely walkabout! The garden is beautiful! A brick ‘rug’ under the dining table in back would be lovely!
You have accomplished so much in such a short time and it looks fabulous.
Cover the vent with a very fine wire. Rose trellis can be a rat highway. Just heard from a professional landscape architect!
I saw another Californian garden who does walkabouts and her exterminator found rats in her attic. He recommended getting rid of the wire/trellis climbing plants. #rathighwaylol
Wow! That knee high view of the garden looks like an impressionist painting. Love the hazy sweep of purple and splashes of agapanthus blooms. 😍
Enjoyed your great work so far. Not sure of your plan for the back, but I'd like to make a suggestion or two for your consideration. First, I would have the brick garage in the yard refinished with the German schmear technique; it would lift the look. I would also have a raised bed installed against its long side painted a color to match the fence. A modestly sized black finish greenhouse in the far right corner of the yard would give the entire yard a certain ambience and properly lit would be gorgeous at night. I would depart from mimicking the look in the front of the house and prepare larger areas of paving or even a patch or two of grass for the eye to rest. There is a place for contemporary design to fit into a more traditional garden that is uplifting. Am enjoying your process.
Hi, Linda! Go for the greenhouse! A greenhouse that is attached to the side of your garage would look wonderful! Incorporating it on the side of the garage would create some unity vs creating another structure in the yard, which could look very busy. I don't think you would regret this decision!!
I think Linda would love it in winter. It would bring joy ! I agree with you🤗
Like ur point of attachment to garage 👍
I fully agree. I just posted a comment saying the same thing before reading your post. She could use the leftover bricks to make a low wall. Lots of money saved with the garage providing a lot of the greenhouse structure. Love love love that idea.
Yes and radiant heat from the bricks would cut down on heating costs
Everything is coming together beautifully. Can’t wait for the rose and clematis to grow together. Can you make any utilitarian use of the other side of the house? Perhaps a long, narrow potting bench with a slatted shelf underneath for pot storage. 🤔
Oh and yes a greenhouse will be a great focal feature. X Rosie O
Wow! The garden is really filling out nicely! When Stewart bent down a bit the view was absolutely beautiful!
Well done!🪻🌷🌸
Hi from Annie the garden is coming along very fast and doing well, love the hydrangeas you have in that big pot in back yard, my mum grew nice ones too as a child I was always amazed by them especially when they all flowered such a lovey memory of them I have I hope to grow some here they like the east side here in Australia so I have a small clipping in garden it is taking its time hope it does grow, they so so expensive in the nursery to buy in small pots. nice to hear you have those lovely roses to plant they should grow well. Love to see more of those slate stepping stones they are so nice. Cheers
I just bought 4 Eden roses (2 Edens, 1 Red Eden and 1 White Eden) and several others too. Be aware Eden can be a favorite for thrips. My highly anticipated blooms have been very browned on the edges and didn't look nice at all. I wasn't aware of thrips before recently, but now I'm learning. Thrips have been really bad this year everywhere due to the moist and cool spring we've had. Just something to be prepared for. I'm excited to see how your's will grow and fill in. It's going to be so gorgeous!
Eden is the queen of a garden.
Strongly recommend climbing rose 'Leonardo da Vinci' for the other side. Eden usually doesn’t repeat-bloom very well, but 'Leonardo da Vinci' bloom from spring till frost.
Everything is coming together so well. The shed might be better positioned by the AC and perhaps have the back opened so that it can be placed over the electrical boxes on the house and still have storage space inside. Near the gate would seem to neck that area down too much, and the swing of the door wouldn't be very convenient, almost an obstacle. It would also detract from the beautiful new windows. The table has already been placed there, so necessity has already dictated what should be there.
The extra brick could be used to build a low wall to extend the building on the side near the seating area. The upper wall would be made of glass so that you could have your greenhouse. It would look terrific from the house and from the seating area nearby. Again, necessity already has you putting greenhouse-like items in that area. The low brick wall and a greenhouse shelf would camouflage the gas lines, and shelving could be mounted to the wall of the building. So very looking forward to the results, whatever you decide.
I just bought that very same rose and I use heirloom roses all the time. I love own root roses. Yes two would be better one on each side
Love the side garden plans. A glass greenhouse where you have your outside dining/seating would be spectacular. It could be a multi-purpose room where you can place a table & chairs, lighting all around and stunningly beautiful plants. You have a smart way of selecting beneficial plants that beautify any space, Linda. I've seen it done on a grand scale and in a small 12x12 scale & both are equally charming; It is all about the glass & lighting. 👍
Linda, a woman after my heart, I also love the instant gratification in my new home! I am in my second year and it still is "A work in process, but that is the basic concept of gardening!" I am a huge fan of Jim Putnam and it was so kind and considerate for you to recognize his brilliance in North Carolina, I am a NC State Extension Master Gardener and he helped me understand and learn what I covered in my classes, he is very accurate in his teachings! With that said, I am so glad you also have mentioned Claus Dalby, I look forward to their informational videos. Cannot wait to see you evolve the backyard, it took me a few years to live with mine.
I have enjoyed videos from that school on growing blueberries 🫐
It all looks so good and has come along so quickly! I really think Linda Vaters backyard needs her flagstone/brick/gravel patio under the dining table 😊.
My thoughts exactly!
Agreed!
Front and side gardens really looking great Linda. So pleased you are getting planted in :). I see a formal room for your backyard with boxes and topiaries. If you don't plan on propagating plants you don't really need a greenhouse other than charming esthetics. The cute ones are expensive. You'll still need to rent space in the greenhouse you already use because heating a greenhouse is so expensive and you have so many plants to harbor somewhere. Bottom line whatever you decide will be a wonderful addition to your cottage ideal.
Really, you are doing alot .You have come so far.. Love your new house. Your back yard is going to be fun to watch. Great show... 💚 from Texas ,we get hot here toooooo...
I am so excited you have an Eden from Heirloom Roses! I have many roses from them, including two Eden and two White Eden. They are so beautiful. Eden is a slower grower in my 6a, Kansas City garden. They might take a little longer but they will be worth it.
I think you would love having a greenhouse, especially during the winter months. Could you build one either as a lean-to against your house or garage?
I had same thought and suggested it in a previous video
I agree. As an extension on the side of the garage near the sitting area would be beautiful.
Everything is beautiful! I love front patio flooring!! I love your clothing style!! You are just an incredible inspiration to me!! Thank you for your videos!
What a visionary you are.
Simply amazing.
❤
You’ve gotten a lot straightened out in the backyard, Linda. It’s a good start. The idea for the shed at that corner sounds good….convenient to both spaces and out of the way. You may want to consider an arbor for the rose at the side door. Climbers do get quite heavy. When it goes over the top it would give you some nice blossoms to admire from inside. You’ll really need to wait on a greenhouse decision until you have more things in place in the back. There are so many sizes and styles available I’m sure you could find a place for one. Can’t believe you have done so much in such a short time. 😊💖🦋🕊
So glad you mentioned Jim Putnam (Horttube) my other favorite youtuber
Bricks Garden Exchange is having a 50% sale on total purchases. It runs for 5 days in honor of Memorial Day. I thought Linda your viewers and you would love this.
Thank you Linda for the walkabout Wednesday. It's looking fabulous.👌 Can't wait for the back garden to be started. Phew go girl😅. Sending love from Rosie O🌹 from Devon England 🇬🇧👏x
Looking good! Hope you’re still planning to fix the crack in the sidewalk by the side door.
Also I think keeping things simple green/white along the side will be a good transition between the busier front yard and the fenced backyard.
Linda what is the paint color on your trim? Your garden looks so beautiful.
My favorite garden channel, hands down! I love your blouse!
Glad to see the backyard progress. Looking forward to watching the transition. You are always so instructive. Much appreciated, Linda.
Could you perhaps install a 3 sided green house against the garage, and use the garage as the fourth wall?
The green house door could lineup with the garage door.
The lower foundation would look nice if it was brick to match the garage.
It all looks lovely.
I love the snap me to place! Always fun!
Happy Wednesday! I'm so glad to see the lemon thyme transplanted happily to your social patio 😊 The fragrance is divine- please enjoy it! Your design wisdom is so valuable- especially when you change your mind and give us the "why". Much appreciated 👍 Also, I think a mini or lean-to greenhouse on the garage you could view from the LR windows would offer such a charming focal point to play with. You spoke of getting a greenhouse when we first met and it would really extend your growing season and protect your seedlings from squirrels 😆. Whatever happens, listen to your heart 🌿
How are you settling in Sweetie?!
@@LindaVater Slowly, but surely. The gardens here are spectacular 😍🌿 I'm itching for my own garden designs to come together soon.
Would you please share what color your gray trim is? I would like to paint my house trim the same. You have been such a great inspiration for me . Thank you for taking the time to answer.
I think the garden shed can go to the right of the steps horizontal under the window, or to the left of the garage door. I think if you put it near the garden gate it will hide the view out of the garden gate.
I fully agree. It would feel a little claustrophobic going through there. The swing of the door would also be awkward. I also agree it would be better on the right side of the steps which she is already considering. It could also be used to camouflage the electric boxes.
Thank you for the review of Heirloom Roses. Have had my eye on a few of their roses. 🌹
It all looks sooo wonderful!! Love to see your vision and progress!!! I'm wondering if it wouldn't be fun to make a dining "room" that is easily accessible from your stairs but also kind of hidden from view....a secret garden dining area. It's really hard to judge the area you have for it, but in my very limited urban space coming around the corner of some hicks yew hedge mixed with tall flowers to find my sitting/dining area is always a treat for me and delight to guests. I believe dividing my small area into garden rooms makes it feel larger and each room creates a different feel although all are very simple and very low budget! It is and will always be a work in progress, as all gardens are....lol.
Linda, everything you touch turns to gold! I couldn't love your new cottage and magic gardens more! BRAVO for all of your incredible decisions!! (I do miss your outfit of the day closing words!) 💚💜 Linda B.
It is coming together Mrs. Linda🥰
Thanks Linda for telling your listeners about Bricks Garden Exchange in Oklahoma City. They have a wide selection, friendly people to help you and very healthy plants, trees plus a website. I went yesterday and plan to go back after I have planted my purchases. ❤❤❤
Hi Linda,
What about some wrought iron handrails up the front steps?
Love the ideas for the side yard. I see the vision! I would love for you to share more about the drainage on the side as well as the mini dry creek on the front corner. These are the bits that are so important but not as glamorous that I would love to hear more about. Your solutions have are not bad look. ❤
How can you accomplish so much in just a couple of months just blows my mind. Congratulations..it is grandiose!
Linda, that shot of your front yard from the social patio, with the waves of purple, looks stunning! Love that you have the side door to decorate. Have you considered removing the screen door, which I believe detracts from the pretty glass door, so that you only see the glass door?
Wow your waves of flowers are spectacular in the front🤩
Will there be an inside update this Sunday🤞🏻😊🤞🏻
Linda I can't wait for the Crepe Myrtle shaping. I just started gardening, and I am lost.
Good Morning linda!! Wow your garden is sure looking so beautiful and tidy!! I love it!! Great job!!👏👏🌹
Linda, when you start working on your backyard, I would love to know where you plan to put outside lighting, especially if you dine out at night in the summer. Are the light sources you have in the front enough to be on the social patio at night?
Hi Linda and Stu, I have some ideas for the back yard, hope I can give some inspiration: I made my entire back yard a kitchen potager. I shop my back yard and Iove it. In shady spots I have parsley and herbs. I made rustic willow spoorts as decoration to fill spots. A narrow Miles choice bay tree hedge is behind blocking an ugly fence.I have espaliered a double grafted apple tree (gala/fuji) and double grafted nashi pear ( two types cant spell them without running to backyard and its cold and windy here) and a yellow fig. In pots I have cara cara blood oranges in a row, so far six but slowly add to get an avenue . I have limes in pots, narrow Dita apple trees that are taller than me, but narrow, under-planted with strawberries in wine barrels. I have dwarf pwears that I made into standards to hide a view into my neighbours yard. zI have started a collection of figs in pots and the white genoa, i think it is has a blood red inside that is amazing. I have made garden rooms with pathways to explore and rosemary hedges. I am growing what I like to eat, and it has taken two years to get where I am by myself. I am enjoying using natural rustic supports to keep my dog off the garden, he grew up with the garden so he is good for a dalmatian. My inspiration is french/Italian and English. I watch Joise from the Cotswolds and Elyse Miller gordon who have wonderful greenhouses I would love. I have changed a cedar play gym into a chook house that will look like something from Harry potter.
Your garden is looking so beautiful! I actually love the way you have your backyard dining table and seating area set up. It is all coming together. 💖
Love the side yard too. Oooh I can't wait for the backyard transformation.
It's growing so fast! It's beautiful!
I did the exact same thing with arbs in the back the white wedding hydrangeas with my autumn Angel white Encore azaleas on my front yard lol loving everything 🖤💚🤍🖤💚🤍🖤💚🤍🖤💚🤍🖤💚🤍🪴🪴🪴🪴🌿🌿🌿🌸🌺🍀🍀🍀
I think you just need to relax a little re the backyard, your Mojo needs to recharge after
working & creating such a lovely Front.
I am in KCMO area and I have sweet Allysum by my driveway and a small stone bed it gets full sun all day an they hold strong all season reseed themselves. They just bloom their fool heads off all season.
If you feel the need for more roses I think your garage would be a lovely canvas for another!
I’d hesitate with the greenhouse idea too. How much use would it get as opposed to the real estate it would take up. Do you use the walkway on the other side of the house? If so your cute shed could be where you originally thought. Potting up spot. The other area more so for dining, entertaining and your elegant garden area. Amazing to compare the transformation from your videos from a few short months ago to now. 🌺
Oak leaf hydrangeas get very big. Your yard looks awesome.
That top is just gorgeous on you, Linda. Love that choice!❤
Your gardens are coming along very nicely, and I enjoy following you, as you prune, pinch, and putter. What a great project. Can't wait to see how you trim up some of your bushes into topiaries.
Feverfew is what anyone visiting my garden wants . It is so easy and showy here in northern ohio
What type of boxwoods will do well in a northern exposure?
Love everything! Could you top those conical gardenias in the pots and make them more spherical over time? They would be pretty just in their natural forming habit, too, but agree about not having two cone shapes together on each side. Your arbs under the windows have definitely greened up and fluffed out and that will be a pretty hedge…and I’m relieved they’re not Leyland Cypress! 💕. You look as chic as ever today, Linda!
You were asking about where you put your garden shed. Good spot at corner of your house. You might consider having it built to favor your cottage house. Aka She Shed. They are so cute and very useful for many things. I have one and I hang my tools on the side and have it fixed up to be a part of my garden landscape.
Yes, I agree with your idea about the Arbs -- topping them off to reign them in.
Hi! Love your new landscaping. I’m wondering if you will be putting railings along your steps in the front and side yard. Love your videos. Everyone have a great day.
I sat down after dinner with my tea and read my book while I waited for your video. 7:30 pm in it came with a yay!! 🎉from me. Thank you Linda and Stewart so much. What a great way to start my relaxing Wednesday evening.
Looks amazing! Have loved this transformation front to back. Looking forward to more updates.
We grow a gorgeous rose, madam Alfred carriere, and a clematis Ernest Markham, together through trellis in our garden. We joined 3 trellis panels together into a triagle shape support and the rose and clematis grow through the middle then cascade over the top like a tree. It's stunning when in bloom and the rose is a repeat flower, the early blooms are white, the second flush blooms are a pale pink. We love our "rose tree".
Your yard is stunning. I can't believe how everything looks so mature already. So enjoy your Wednesday walk about😊
Always lots to do as your mind is processing and planning. Very nice walk about and loving your plans for the side yard. It will fill in and be so lovely. It's hard to wait. As for the greenhouse...I really can't see where you would put it without the backyard looking crowded. I'd go for the open spaces and beautiful plants.
I planted feverfew many years ago, and it reseeds itself literally everywhere in my whole yard! Most of it gets to live where it lands, but I have more than I know what to do with. It’s lovely!
Hi Linda. I absolutely love Camellias for some wonderful color in Fall through Spring. Have you considered adding one (or more)?
Hi Linda
That pathway from the drainage grid to the garden gate would suit better to be covered in flagstones. That would make it look wider with no grass on the sides. I think😍💕
@@mrs.m1752 yes i agree. Of course interspered with Lindas' beloved pea gravel🍀
Wow every time I do a catch up with your gardens progress I have to check my calendar to confirm all the work you’ve accomplished. Beautiful!
It's looking beautiful. But, one thing to consider trees/large bushes in front of windows pose a security risk as they provide good cover for burglars to hide.
Like your idea for shed location. A small glass greenhouse would look nice in the back corner or a “lean to” type HARTLEY against the garage wall. Thoughts?
Have you thought of putting in Rain Chains on the corners of the eaves on your garage?
For the back yard, do a fire pit and an outdoor kitchen area to have cooking outside. Plus make a fabulous garden around that
Love white Moon gardens ❤ can't wait to see backyard progress. Stewart needs to edit Linda throwing a brick throw rug 😂😂 c'mon Stewart 👏🏽👏🏽
At some point you may want a railing on the side yard for safety
Ya that would b a code violation here! Looks very steep!
Yes. I think there will be erosion there and cause a slope.
Thought the same thing! Looks narrow and too steep to age in to
I agree. A safety rail and make a ramp when the cement person comes in September. It's always good to think ahead even if we don't need it now to plan for folks with mobility issues. Everything looks beautiful!
That would be ugly I think
The gardenias do look significantly different to the Hollies and they look fabulous
Hi Linda
Why not train the conical gardenias to a round form. Perfectly possible💕
Yes, the front garden is looking quite charming. I like the play of colors, forms, and textures.
Since you have thought long and hard about the front garden, your mind might need a little bit of time to recharge for the backyard. Gardens are not built overnight.
The crape myrtle looks my mother's did when we had to cut it down because it was too close to the house. It turned into a thicket of suckers.
Question-is there space between your garage and the fence to put things like your composter? If so, that could be your hidden maintenance area. Lots of garden adventures to come.
Enjoyed this tour, Linda. Thanks a bunch!
I noticed that bucket full of water that poured from the garage gutter. Please put a screen over that bucket or empty it regularly to prevent some poor small creature from drowning in it. 😢. I learned that lesson the hard way.
Love the front and side yards...cant wait to see how you transform the backyard!!
Nice dance moves for the garden.
My daughter and I put a 220 electric line to our greenhouses for winter. We also have the Gardyn hydroponic gardyn in the greenhouses. They water themselves three times a day turn the lights on and off at morning and night. Primarily I change the water monthly and put fertilizer in the water. The bugs are uninterested in our lettuce and herbs
Linda. Love the purple and peeps of gold or yelliw showing. How beautiful that looks. Everything is coming along so nicely. It looks so lovely. You have done such a great job Linda.
Love your effort and your strength also the new garden is ❤ very beautiful
All that sea of purple is just gorgeous!! I have Feverfew in my Apothecary garden but not Golden Feverfew. I Love roses in a garden but it is too moist here.
Purple explosion!!
This is so inspiring.😍
I have thoroughly enjoyed the development of your new cottage garden. * (Absolutely love the top you're wearing in this video; it's adorable on you.) I'm learning lots from you. I'm a SW Ohio gardener. :)
