    You have done a wonderful job with the landscaping. It's not too busy and allows the eye to look at everything. Like the simplicity and the hardscape pieces also. Thanks for sharing all your work. Great ideas.

    I love the feeling and the look of spring cleanup - like getting a haircut! The lonely tulip bulb on top of the soil shows us how resilient nature can be and not to take ourselves too seriously. Thanks for taking us along.

    Love following your garden, thanks for bringing us along. I love so many of the changes you have made. So interesting to me as l'm in Australia and l don't have snow and the challenges you do. However, l'm in the country and l do have rabbits and kangaroos that eat nearly everything! It's a struggle

    • @loissaedder2214

      Queenslander here. Don't have rabbits or kangaroos eating my plants but have had a problem with caterpillars eating my plants on my deck.

    • @keeptrying5962
      @keeptrying5962 Před 4 měsíci +1

      American here, trying to imagine nuisance kangaroos! 🦘😆 I've never yet been to Australia (would love to and hope I do get to do so). We are in rural Texas and contend with poisonous snakes (copperheads) armadillos, skunks (none so appealing to me as a kangaroo-- I reckon I'd see it differently if I knew better 🤣).

    • @loissaedder2214
      @loissaedder2214 Před 4 měsíci +1

      @keeptrying5962 we have our share of poisonous snakes too. You would think differently about kangaroos if you saw them for real. The males are huge and can kill people. There have been attacks on people in their own yards in suburbia which people are lucky to survive.
      Having said that, I've seen roos where I live but they haven't bothered me but they have attacked people.
      Most Aussies don't go near them. There are also cute, smaller wallabies (much smaller version of roos). But again best advised not to mess with them.

    • @keeptrying5962

    • @cathyc1079
      @cathyc1079 Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@keeptrying5962 it's a beautiful country, hope you make it here one day. I love kangaroo's we have about 20 -30 of them in the garden every day but they love 'new growth' and new plants and will eat everything down to the ground. Once plants are a lot older and established they tend to leave them alone and just eat the grass!

    I had Mex Feather grass and loved the look of it but found that it seeds a lot so I got rid of it and I had it coming up everywhere. It took several years of pulling the spouts until I got all of it out.

    • @SydneyDorman
      @SydneyDorman  Před 4 měsíci

      It does seed but my experience with it at my other house was good and I didn’t have issues with it aggressively seeding. I’m most definitely going to keep an eye on it!

  • @keeptrying5962
    @keeptrying5962 Před 4 měsíci

    Love the sedum. I have a few here in 8b, TX. Something so delightful about greeting that new growth, that contrast between last year's dry vestiges and the brand new. Everything is looking so fresh and clean there! Love it. Thank you for another video. 🙌🏼

    • @SydneyDorman
      @SydneyDorman  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Same! Not all winter interest has to be evergreen. That’s why I love grasses in the garden! A combo of evergreens and grass is a favorite of mine!

  • @kbh2300
    @kbh2300 Před 4 měsíci

    Maybe you can divide some of your veronica or salvia, the ones you had trouble finding as much as you wanted. I'm not sure what plants that's safe to do that with. Maybe yours are too young. Things look great though. Looking forward to seeing the plants grow and your various projects!

    • @keeptrying5962
      @keeptrying5962 Před 4 měsíci

      Man I hope not. We're in TX and seems like we get whatever y'all get, a few days later. It's predicted to be almost 90° F here, next few days.

    • @SydneyDorman
      @SydneyDorman  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yea, we will get to 30 next week. I will probably cover some of the more tender plants new growth but most things should be okay as they are low to the ground and the soil will be warm after the warm temps we’ve had lately. I don’t get too concerned over a couple degrees below since it’s not typically for prolong periods of time.
      I love maples, yes their new buds are tender. You could also just cover them with frost cloth or a sheet if you didn’t want to bring them in!
      Cheers to spring!

    I took advantage of a beautiful day in Mississippi yesterday to do some backyard cleanup. I found a “dead” boxwood that i had removed from a pot before the really cold temps got here in order to protect the pot from cracking. I came across that little boxwood that has now greened up and surviving! Since he was doing well I left him there until I can get him replanted in his pot! Sometimes plants do better if we don’t fuss so much over them. 🍃🪴🪴🌿
