I really admire you for making this garden and house your own.
Thank you!!
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.
I love your edging. It makes your garden beds look so clean. And coordinates well with your home
Your yard is looking so neat and clean. You and Tommy are doing a great job!
The front yard looks so beautiful all cleaned up! Can't wait to see it all mulched .
Wow Sydney! You've done a fabulous job inside and out making this house your home. You have really inspired me in working my own garden.
Love the structure and design you have created with the boulders and steel. Plants will fill in and it will look magnificent.
Hi Sydney and Tommy
What a fantastic clean up🎉👏👏🎉At the moment the garden looks so neat and peaceful. That sunshine brings out the splendour of it all🩷💗
Looks nice cleaned up you can really see the front of the house looks so nice
Great clean up, glad Tommy tackles those leaves. So exciting to see first tulip bulb.
Everything looks so great after your Winter, we don't really have Winter in the tropics of
Australia.
Your grass looks so healthy and green! 🌱🌱🌱 Don't be so hard on yourself, it's still late winter...give yourself a few weeks' grace....it will be bOOOOOtiful!...Actually, after the tidy-up, it looked much, much better...good work!...cute, the little bulb that could 🌷
Spring is coming, and I’m excited to see all your blooming plants come out of dormancy. I’m really enjoying watching you and Tommy make this your own.
Helabore are poisonous, that’s why animals don’t bother them. Your home is gorgeous now in late winter and I can’t wait to see this your seasons to come. Thank you. You and Linda make me feel comfortable getting outside and at least trying.
Thank you Sydney, you are Tommy are such a breath of fresh air, the front is looking beautiful!
Sydney... everything looks so good. I am getting so excited to get outside...
You are great at remembering names of plants!
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
Queenslander here. Don't have rabbits or kangaroos eating my plants but have had a problem with caterpillars eating my plants on my deck.
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 🤣).
@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.
That is fascinating and I certainly believe it. I appreciate it, thank you!
@@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!
Looking so great. Ohh all those Larkspurs!!!
Love you Sydney. So glad to see you out gardening again!
Spring is around the corner. Love your video
Everything looks good! Looking forward to warmer temps here so that I can work in our garden beds.
The front yard looks amazing after the clean up and pruning. The mulch will enhance it even more and winter will be forgotten.
It all looks beautiful! 😊
So excited to be back at it..ehhhh❤
The garden looks great considering we’re not officially through winter yet. After Tommy took care of the leaves it looked even better!! 👍🪴💚
The front yard is looking beautiful. I’m excited to see your bulbs in bloom
Your garden is coming along beautifully 💚💚👩🌾💚
Everything looks so fresh and good. I can’t wait for planting time (usually early to mid-May) here in central Illinois. Yesterday was in the high 60’s, today high 50’s, and tomorrow a chance of snow by evening. I just enjoy every warm day we get. I love your videos!❤
It looks beautiful!!
Enjoyed watching!Thank you
Thank you 🙏 for identifying the salvias and sedum etc !
Lots of work, but your garden is already looking great! The iron edging is such a great look! Can’t wait to see spring!
You should try Boxwood Turbo Grow. You will be amazed with the new growth 👍
Cant wait for your tulip show hows the bunny. Didnt see it? :-))))!
It’s up on the porch!
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.
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!
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. 🙌🏼
All the boxwood are looking good!
Looks great!
I'm anxious to see the windowbox when the purple tulips bloom that I sent to you & Tommy! 🌷
They are coming in great! I packed them in there! I will most definitely share its progress and in full bloom! Thank you again!!
Looks really good 👍🏻 Your lawn looks so good! 💚💚
I love the wispy look of those grasses in winter. I like your plan to have winter interest with the yews and evergreens too.
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!
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!
Love it all
You do such a wonderful job of filming.
I have never seen or heard of Mister Goodbud Sedum, interesting, will see how it looks in your garden this year ( i probably butchered the spelling of the name ), wish i could take some of the Larkspur off your hands
Looks good. I am excited to clean up mine as well but our temps haven’t been quite as warm as yours yet.
In Oklahoma we have another freeze next week. I just up-potted 30 of my Japanese maples a couple of weeks ago and i might have to bring them in
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.
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!
Looking good. I like your style. It's definitely you now. More you to come. What fun and excitement!
I have one tulip coming up from when I planted tulips 15 or more years ago. It came up last year too. None of the others from planting long ago have survived. All my new tulips are popping up.
I will have some rogues come up but they are so thin no wispy that I wonder if they will even bloom! We shall see!
How do you know what should get cut back?! 🤷🏻♀️
Yay. Love the update! 💚🌳
...oh Sydney, it looks sooo nice! I can only imagine the satisfaction it gives you. "OCD" gardeners -- I'm one admittedly. 🙋🏼♀️ I LOVE the grasses interspersed throughout, lending more architectural interest/bones. Sooo neat-n-tidy. LOVE it! 👌🙌🫶🏡👩🏼🌾💚 =^..^=
💚
Aah Sydney,I am soooo out of the loop,you and Linda both.
(I am totally in love with Linda,btw)
I’m happy to see that you are doing so well🥰
Landscape and home interior looks amazing ❤ backyard clean-up update?
That was in the previous video. We dont have much to clean up back there aside from the raised beds because it still needs to be landscaped. It’s getting landscaped as soon as we are in the clear with weather!
I just checked your ten-day forecast, and I see a night at 31. Might’ve been too early to start this project. We’re all certainly anxious for spring!
This was filmed a bit before this video got uploaded. 😉
Can you share the brand of your shades?
Hi, Sydney! Just LOVE your edging! Can you give me a link for it please? You've worked so hard and your garden looks just amazing! Thx so much!
Go to the video when it was installed!
It’s only Feb! B patient , change will come to the garden!
This is the time to trim and clean up the garden. It’s harder after everything has come up.
What temperatures do you look for when you know it's time? @@jgwood10
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. 🍃🪴🪴🌿
