- This is my technique for hand watering my potted plants. I have three watering ‘zones’ and this is one of them. I have two categories for potted plants: furniture pots & throw pillow pots. Watch this video to see what I mean!

When you do what you love and love what you do, there is not such thing as "to much work". Your garden is a reflection of yourself, beautiful, inviting and cozy; i am a big fan of potted plants because it gives me the advantage and opportunity of moving things around according to my mood 😆
Omgoodness !! If I had a garden like this, I would be in heaven!!💜💚
Also realizing why you use the pebbles in your pots. You can use the stronger water spray when watering from afar without kicking up the dirt. Love it!
I start my day watering my garden. It’s a lovely contemplative time for me. Great video!
When you love to garden like some people do , watering can be a pleasure. 🌈
I feel the exact same way Linda, it's not "a chore" to me either. I live in New Mexico and go out in the mornings and water my potted plants, veggies, and perennial garden. I also do it in the evenings too, when we get really hot down here. It's so peaceful and therapeutic to care for and see your plants / veggies thrive everyday. I just love it! Thanks for sharing, I love your garden! :)
Besides pruning, watering is my favorite activity because it allows me to spend time in my garden with my plants. You can use this time to take in the beauty of plants, relax your thoughts and observe their health and catch things before they become a problem. It doesn't feel like work to me, but gardening is my passion and I don't consider it work.
I love watering my plants, if you don't enjoy it you may not be that into gardening. For me it is almost like meditation to water and deadhead my plants.
Same for me. I enjoy the daily ritual of watering my container plants.
I agree. It is not work to me. Taking care of my garden gives me peace. I work full time, but now since pandemic, from home. I love sneaking out for a few minutes and on my lunch break to enjoy my labor of love❣
Agreed!!! 💯
I enjoy it until summer when I’m hopping around trying to keep the mosquitoes from devouring me.
I agree. It's very therapeutic.
Linda you are truly a wonderful gardener. I feel the love. 😊 Liked your idea of a bucket of fertilizer water and emersing the plants. Also loved that garden hose nozzle the way you can start and stop the water flow. Thank you for making my day more fun when watering my plants. 🌸
Lovely plants and garden! I love working in my gardens and don’t think of it as work. It’s also a form of therapy that takes my mind off the everyday stresses.
Another fun video--sharing your thoughts on watering while giving us a partial tour of your garden. Now I see how you keep all of those plants thriving in ever-thirsty clay pots. Thanks.
Although I live in a different part of the country, and different climate, I am learning so much from your videos. I have the opposite schedule: I have to work indoors in the morning and go outside in the afternoon AFTER IT'S WARM ENOUGH! Thank you; you are delightful.
Thank you for the fertilizing in a bucket tip. That was a new one for me. And thank you for the stunning garden tour you gave a few days ago of your friends yard. Linda we need this. Thank you Oklahoma.
I'd love to see drone images of your gardens one day please
I absolutely love your videos. They are so helpful and informative and give me lots of gardening ideas that I have never thought about doing. 🌺🌸🌼🌹
Bless you, Linda. We soooo appreciate
your joy and upbeat "can-do" attitude :)
I agree with this analogy. Cleaning up my landscape is like cleaning up a room inside the house. Gotta keep it tidy.
You have cultivated an absolutely beautiful garden....you should be very proud!
I too enjoying watering my plants with the hose. A good way to check and see what needs doing, pest control/trimming/weeding and so on. Also to just slow down and enjoy the time and the garden.
Linda I love the way you handle your self it’s what you love it’s your job,!!!!!!!
That was great I love watering my plants I just started my flower bed a year ago so my plants are now getting established. One day I would love to have more potted (furniture) plants in cement pots like you. I did splurge and bought my first aqua pot (Jack Barnwell) in Matt black.
Hello, I would have never guessed that you water so little in your climate. I absolutely love your garden design; your garden is breath taking. I will be incorporating more containers in my garden this year for some height. Looking forward to seeing more! Thank you and best wishes, Dorothy
Thanks Dorothy!
Plants are like human they needs care. Thank you for making this video mam.
That’s great to know,I used to do watering my plants same like you,is very relaxing and the only way to have what’s going on in my garden and flowers pots,Tku for your time to sharing gardening ideas,God Bless You!
You're so organized, I love it!
I learned how you water plants.
I like Korean wildflowers,
I saw your video informative.
Thank you for making a good video.
Watering is relaxing. When I water I use a slower stream and a gentle spray to make sure the pot is fully saturated. Most plants, in pots and the ground, die from shallow watering. Your soak bucket is a great way to water the topiaries. 😊
I love the hose box - I haven't seen anything like that in the UK but I can see that it would work better than a cart. Lovely video, thank you.
I find I have to water my pots for much longer to keep them going in the summer - especially, of course, those in full sun. Some days, I have to water twice.
I just love her videos so much. I can relate to her level of gardening. I used to watch another channel where the sweet couple have gone so out of control with their property it’s too much.
Great tip about starting with your hose all the way out to prevent kinking. Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that? 🤦🏻♀️
I love your garden! What a beautiful sanctuary
Thanks for visiting!
The metal tray table you use to keep water under the topiaries is brilliant. This fixes an issue in one of my garden rooms. Thanks!
Great info. Love the hint about putting small pots in tub of water .. I enjoy watering early in the morning too❤️😊❤️
I love the different textures and greenery in your yard. I love the different varieties of different shrubs. Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your watering schedule. I agree with you that watering is a cool and relaxing activity that I also enjoy.
You’re so inspiring Linda. I’ve been gardening for years and enjoy your technique..it’s new and refreshing. Thank you.
Thank you Linda. I so enjoy your garden!
Thanks Linda! Great video! You make it seem so easy and stress free!
Thank you Linda for sharing your talents!!!!
Definitely enjoyed this! Such a pleasant delight and I love the sound of watering! ❤
Love your channel, your beautiful, natural taste; your creativity, practicality, and personality! Wow. What an amazing garden!
Thank you so much. Your garden is just beautiful!!!♥
Didn’t know that you can put that many plants together and look so beautiful!!!
I love your place!!!
My garden looks similar, but my trees are fruit and veggies. It’s my 30 minutes of relaxing, clear my mind of the days tasks. My favorite part is under my arbor where I just reach up and grab a handful of grapes.
Looks like a little piece of paradise!😍
Very helpful advice. Love puttering in garden early morning also.
Such a great video. Thanks, Linda.
Love hand watering my garden, so relaxing.
I just found Linda on uTube🙏. Your backyard is fabulous and your tour has been delightful.
For your baskets used to hold plants spray them with polyurethane to help them a longer life outside. Anything to keep water from dissolving them. I live in Houston where we have lots of water and humidity.
I love hand watering because that way I can see if there are any bugs or problems as I have a really large garden with areas into which I don't go on a daily basis.
Such a beautiful garden!! 💗💗
Your garden is gorgeous 💗 this was a helpful video, thank you 😊🌹🌱💕
I truly enjoy your videos and your garden is beautiful. Today's video gave me some good tips, Thank you!
I have to hand water a lot in pensacola fl I find it very meditating I have to watch myself not to overwater but since our rain is so lacking now it’s a constant.. I also adhere to ur method and love the adjustable spray wand!! Thanks for affirming my methods!!!! 💕
Hi Linda , this is very pretty..Love that window box sooo much ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Linda. I tried your dirty glove method to age pot. It worked great !!! I even dirty up some small boulders I recently purchased. Love it. Thank you
Thanks for the hose tips..love ur garden..i enjoy ur videos i learn alot..🤗😉
This video has been so helpful ❤️ because obviously I’ve been over watering way too much. Thank you!
so lovely and relaxing. thank you.
Beautiful Garden(s)..... Linda- you and your space are so inspirational 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Beautiful garden & great tips! Thank you!
Love watching all your videos 🌸
Thanks for showing us how you “Vater” your plants! 😆💐💦
I always enjoy your videos so much
You have got a gorgeous garden.. breath taking
Thanks for the lovely visit to your garden - I love watering, though this year I'm putting in a complex irrigation system so we can go away - I'm gonna include pots in this system - but I may put all the pots in one place when we leave to keep it simple. I really like your 2 week soak with liquid organic fertilizer - what a great idea.
Warmest regards Jennie
I'm down with the watering techniques, mornings or evenings depending, but like your nozzle better for not having to use my thumb! I'll have to get! I learnt Lavender Topiary loves water. I'm just keeping mine indoors now. She doesn't like the Hot Full Sun on her and thats what my deck gets the majority of the day. She's content now! 😊 My English Lavender doesn't seem to mind the full sun on the otherhand 🤷♀️ .. go figure!
Nice tip on deep watering. Thank you Linda! :)
Great teacher! I have learned a lot from your videos.. thanks!!
Love it..great info.. 🌹❤🙏I was viewing a couple of other channels and noticed one lady wearing flip flops and planting and another one wear water boots. I just thought it was funny people asking you about your gardening wardrobe..lol..oh well..Take care Linda.🙏
really love the pebbles you put on the tops👍🏼
I really do love ❤️💕 love it. I have a small garden and this is what I do every afternoon very much relaxing.
Great tips and ideas for how I can better water (and feed) my plants thank you : )
Great watering tips loved it
Im here for the first time, Your Garden is amazing❣️ I do enjoy it❣️😀🌱
Hi Linda! Love your videos! I’m curious, do you use a different soil mix with your ‘furniture’ potted plants than your ‘throw pillow’ potted plants? Or simply use the same potting mix for all? TIA! Keep up the great videos!
Your gardens are beautiful 💕💕
Loved your video today very helpful beautiful garden
Beautiful garden. I love my yard too.
fantastic..lots of lovely tips
I use the same hand nozzle and it is a water saver
I did switch to a metal hose 150' long...extremely light weight and no kinks and easy to put up
Stunning garden 🪴
Fun! Very relaxing! 😊
Stunning!
beautiful, what a great and amazing garden; something extraordinary :)
Beautiful gardens..
You also need to add a washer where your sprayer is connected to the hose. This will stop the dripping water that would drive me crazy girl!
Lovely Hydrangea plant at 14m. I've grown cuttings for Hydrangea, Hebe, Buddleia, Spirea & Lavender. Most of these are on my channel header and I made a new Hebe video which shows these cuttings on their journey into big shrubs/plants. Happy Growing :)
Have you written any gardening books? I could picture a nice "coffee table" book of your garden with all kinds of tips and photography....maybe featuring various seasons.
A coffee table book titled:
“Growing Furniture and Throw Pillows” by LV 😉
Cute categorizing system! 😀

@@sanctuarybloomsnicole3714 , brilliant❣💐
Dear Linda. May you make video about planting in concrete planters. Do you sealed them from inside? I heard that minerals from concrete can kill the plant. Sorry for my grammar, but English is not my language. Thank you.
Love looking at your beautiful plants, Linda!! How often do you water during the hot midsummer? How often do you feed your plants?? Love all your pots!!
Thank you for being so specific. I appreciate your techniques. Could you do the same thing and explain how you fertilize?
You are my Garden Watering Twin😃😃
You’re so beautiful and elegant and your garden 🪴 omg is gorgeous 😍
Looks like fun to me!
So sorry for your loss Linda. So sad to lose a friend. 😪
Hi. I’m a novice gardener. I’m trying to get informed and do it right. However, many people say different things. From a previous video, I saw that you live on a hot climate. I live in Houston, Texas. It gets hot here. I have a lavender topiary and two other potted lavender plants. I see that their flowers droop during the day. I’m so afraid to water them daily because I keep hearing that they don’t like too much water. Since you’re in a similar climate, I trust that your tips will be more useful for me. I don’t want to kill my plants by overwatering. I hear that rosemary abs lavender should be watered every 2-3 wks. I haven’t gone that long. I normally water them once a week, but they’re not thriving. My rosemary is browning in one side, and my lavender flowers wilted and got pale with a bit of brown. Should I water them daily? I really appreciate you sharing your expertise.
I love very much your wonderful garden! I am very interested 😊
Beautiful.
