Matthew, a suggestion as far as wood chips. Perhaps if you did as Janey did and hire a tree service to remove your dying pines and birch and whatever shrubs you plan to remove they would run them thru their chipper and leave the chips for you. Plus you would establish a relationship with them that could move you up their list for future drops from other places.
I'm with you on day lilies. Life's too short, so plant what you love! I agree that your area of trees and lawn are beautiful and so peaceful to look at. You'll enhance it to make it stunning!
I would suggest weeding, clearing out your beds, and amending the soil before you begin planting anywhere. I know you want to get started having beauty around you but take your time. I know you are overwhelmed. Take a breath, you will get it all done but it will take time! Watch for snakes and creatures when you are rummaging in the abck forty! Love your new place ❤️
You need a bobcat or bulldozer. Good luck!!!I believe in you, so it will be beautiful when you’re done!
It’s so much easier when it’s a clean canvas to work with. Pace yourself!
When I see your overgrown beds, I want to get in there with some big tools and rip it all out! Now mind you, I have my own weeds sitting there looking at me.
I've always said it's more fun to clean someone else's home than your own!
Matthew, your green yard and all the beautiful trees make such a beautiful back drop and canopy for your new garden. Take your time because you have beauty surrounding you already.💖🏠🌲🌲🌲
Yes!! AGREE its just beautiful as is too😊🌳🐞
I was going to say the same thing -- the beauty is there, even if it isn't the long-term plan!! The beds need some work, but the trees and the grass alone create such a peaceful place to enjoy. Be in the moment. You will look back one day and ask where the time has gone!!
Yes, any progress is progress. Be nice to yourself.
Gotta get yourself a little golf cart 😁
How exciting to have all that beauty to just enhance! I have to say I love to watch your channel, because I like your calm, soothing manner!
Hi Matthew! With your moving and everything that you want to do, any progress is good. I hope you can get your wood chips right away so you're able to do things in the order you want. You have such a beautiful property and I'm looking forward to seeing your plans unfold. What a treat to find the rocks and bricks. It will be fun finding what else might be in there. Thank you so much for sharing!
So exciting! Such a nice place and nice open land. It's gonna be beautiful. I love the little nitch under the steps near pool. You will have it lush and nice in no time. It's already very calm , and welcoming looking. Can't wait to watch and the see the metamorphosis. You have me addicted to the channel.
If you can stretch the budget, get a second hand Golf Cart.That way you can carry a lot of garden tools around with you ,a bit like mobile garden shed.That way when you find yourself a considerable distance from the house and realist you need the one thing you didn't bring with you , you will probably have it on the cart! Of course plenty of walking is good exercise but with the amount of work you have ahead of you might be nice to conserve some energy.
So many beautiful possibilities are waiting in the wings!
Moving is hard and takes time, but I was so happy to see this new video show up today. Sounds like we will have plenty to see with all the new projects. 😊
A lot of property to digest … take your time - remember you are the only one in a rush! Start with a master plan (which I’m sure you will). Did you ever think about a landscape designer- just for ideas and to help you with your vision?
1. Wear gloves and garden protection sleeves.
2. This garden/home will be absolutely gorgeous when you work your magic on it !
3. It is so much harder to rework a garden than start new.
4.take it slow, don't hurt your back !
5. Was happy ro see your video !
I see that garage holding lots of plants during winter!
I can’t get over his beautiful uouf property really is. Stunning ,even know there s so much to do bug whsg a pleasure to own it !!❤
Yep one project at a time and breathe.❤
I'm so excited for you and your new garden ideas! Anxious to see how you solve your irrigation issue. We have a similar issue. We bought 40+ acres in 2020. It had nothing but a huge pile of dead trees and branches. No electric, no water, no house. So, we'd camp at a nearby campground, to to the property and do what we could. Now, 3 years later, we have our camper permanently on the property with a canopy over it. We have a used tractor with a bush hog, a Mule (Kawasaki) and last month we had an acre pond re-established. All in good time. We are retired, so can work when we feel like it. BTW, the property is in Georgia BUT we live 7 hours south in Florida. So we've had to become Florida/Georgia gardeners! Actually, I'm the gardener, my husband loves to hunt, so he has established food plots, hunting blinds, an owl house and trails throughout the property. He attracts the deer and I try to keep them away from my plants!! You may find some sort of side-by-side very helpful in your gardening endeavors.. Made us a lot more efficient with our projects - which become a never ending list! Best of Luck! Thank you for taking the time to share this adventure with all of us.
So glad to see an update. I’ve been wondering what you’ve been able to get done. Looking forward to seeing more. Those pink hibiscus are gorgeous!
The trees look great limbed up.
The warmer winter days will be perfect to scope out the back 40. All that brush will die and you'll see what ya got! lol
Oh that pool will be nice to have next week….hot weather ahead.
Hang in there. You need to just take one area at a time. Take care you can do it.
This season I got 2 spigots replaced and a new 3rd one installed and I couldn't be happier. So worth the money. Now I don't have to have 3 hoses connected to each other to get water to an area of our back yard where an addition was put on 36 years ago and it kept me having to use 3 connected hoses together.
Your restraint is amazing, I'd be running around willy nilly planting without planning😅
I believe that birch tree collection should be removed (mulch) to make way for one of the more beautiful trees you know exist. Birch around NJ don’t last long and rarely recover when there are issues. I’m so excited to watch you break ground and draw out plans! Thank you for sharing the process!!! 😊
So happy to see you’re back
What a treasure trove in the "north 40" (😆 a term we use alot ) So much fun ! Thank you for the update 💙
Matthew, uncover the flare of that tree, prune it…you may be surprised how it rebounds.
This is so exciting!
5:35 I wouldn’t do a garden bed per se around the pool. I would do a border with soft curves with river rock to make it look like a dry creek. You could like it with a rubber liner and install a pump so it actually has water running through it and you can plant some water plants, but there’s no water visible on the surface, but more of a waterless pond.
Try your utility companies for mulch. Our electric company does give out mulch when they are cutting trees for power lines in our area.
Good luck! It will be beautiful I’m sure!
I have two old and leaky spigots on the outside of my old house, and a kind plumber gave me an easy and cheap fix. There are attachments that are a few dollars that have valve levers. It screws onto the end of your existing spigot, and after you turn your water off, flipping the valve finishes the job and stops the leak. I even have a splitter type coming off my spigot in the back. I would recommend getting brass ones. Don’t know how it would work with a watering system though. It’s worked so well for us, we’ve had them on for a few years even though it is supposed to be a temporary fix! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
This is very exciting. So happy for you. These videos are reminding me of my own journey when I move from a tiny urban lot to a home with acrage 6 years ago. Here are two things I wish I did as soon as I moved in. 1) start a windbreak/hedgerow to buffer the corn field to minimize the amount of dust from tilling and drift from spraying! (2) even though i planned garden rooms, i worked on all of them at the same time. I often got discouraged cause it was a lot of work doing all of them at the same time and i only saw a little progress. I wish i would have focused the majority of my efforts on one of the spaces, and start with the one i would see and use the most. Now, each year i do that, eg i would only by plants and materials for x space, and work minimally on the others.
Looking forward to following you along on this journey.
I love the linden so much. My grandma had a massive one and it was so magical to play underneath as a child.
Ha! I was sitting here worrying about poison ivy being back there and ten seconds later you brought it up! Great minds think alike! Just be careful!!
Lovely land
Matthew, I look forward to seeing you tackle all the projects you mentioned. Will you be filming some of the actual work you will be doing? I think it would be very informative.
I’ll be filming some of it. Filming really slows down all projects so it’ll depend on how much time I have that day to tackle the project at hand. :)
The linden flowers are great tea for calming at night! The more tender leaves can be used instead of grape leaves for rolls, very yummy! It's going to be beautiful Matthew! Just by some lights and at night it's going to be so much better and cooler! I want to develop a bed in front of the house, just that my house is not pretty like yours but hopefully the flowers and shrubs will be. It's so slow moving because of my neoropathy, pray for me when you remember, my name is Camelia (like the flower)! I lived in Alabama for 3 years! Blessings 💕🤗
With the pool you might want to condider incororating a gravel/mulch/paver area into the garden around the pool. It could give some additional seating in the area and help soften the lines around the pool.
My garden work is down to 30 minutes a day until the heat in SC diminishes, but the dahlias I planted this spring are blooming and filling me with joy. Your garden will succumb to your charm and bloom too.
That corn looks really beautiful growing in the background😊 I hope you can relax and enjoy the journey. It’s so exiting!
You have no idea how much you just helped me🙌🏻💖 Two weeks ago I was trimming up overgrown weeds and grass on the side of my garden. I was stung 12 times by wasps or bees um that made a home under the cardboard and weed fabric. I’ve done everything but drown them. Tomorrow’s project 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank you 😊
My husband is a pool cleaner and anything you plant near your pool is going to drop debris in it. Grasses and crepe myrtles are the worst! It’s either dead grass stalks or blooms and seeds off the myrtle
I am so excited, you would think this is my home. I can’t wait to see all the things you are going to do to your home and all the flower gardens you can make. The place is already beautiful but I can imagine what it’s going to look like when you add your designs. So happy for you Matthew. Enjoy
The prior owners planted crepe myrtle around our pool. I have never been so happy to see plants go. They were pretty but trashed the pool.
So exciting to have so much space to work with and some established trees. You should check out Plaids & Poppies and her pool area. So beautiful!
I love to find all those hidden treasures. I found a pile of bull nose bricks that I am using for pot feet. Plus lots of bricks for a walk way. Enjoy your finds. Will be excited to see what you come up with Matthew!
We moved in April of this year. I know overwhelming. But you are such a capable and amazing gardener. It’s all going to be beautiful. Baby steps. And good for u !
You will look back in a couple of years and realize how far you have come! Gardening on a larger scale than my previous terrace garden I had to start thinking in terms of 7 or 9 plants in a group as opposed to 3 max but it's very liberating not to worry about finding space for something! We are fortunate that there are so many wonderful shrubs and trees that can give structure to a garden. Be bold! I have had professionals come in to remove the poison ivy -- they found a huge vine on a large oak in our ravine which was not something I was going to tackle but was providing a lot of seeds.
Such a beautiful property with gorgeous lawn and trees.
I'm excited to see what your soil test shows!
I'm making my garden to be easily maintained too.
I seem to be choosing better perenials and choices for my gardens.
Would you consider a pretty climbing rose on the left front brickyard of your house.
It has many sharp edges and needs some thing to break it up.
I visualized a white rose with a raspberry inner or a peony cup like rose pink rose.
Matthew, you will know for sure if it's a Greenspire Linden in the spring when it flowers, they smell so beautiful. Good luck on this new adventure.
New subscriber here! Love the new property. I am living in Alabama now and it is so hot 🥵 I am so jealous of your cooler weather up there. I like your ideas and will keep watching!
Oh my you have a beautiful new home. Looks like many acres to develop a fantastic home. Looking forward to seeing it develop. I have half acre. We just had poison ivy pulled as I don’t use spray. It will be back I am sure but if we get it while it is small we might control it. Is that corn field your neighbors land?
Daylillies are ratty plants!
I tolerate the July 4th blooms, but I cut spent spikes as soon as possible.
Tasha Tudor hated daylillies, too😂
Jess of Roots and Refuge got a delivery of compost that turned out to be contaminated. The person she got the compost from was very apologetic, but the compost still killed the plants she used it on. Decontamination turned out to be quite the process. Contamination is a problem.
I'm with you on the daylilies. They take so much water and grooming to keep them looking decent.
Some grand plans will be incredible when you are able to implement them !
Gonna need a golf cart lol
It sounds like you have a good plan in place. It will look great when your done.
Matthew, just an observation, we live further north in Ohio and we have friends that also put beds around their pool. Now these beds are probably 30-40ft away from the pool, however as beautiful as they are they do attract pollinators, and then the pollinators are also drawn to the pool area. They’ve had way to many problems and I thought it might be something to consider. Love the new property ❤
I probably would not plant anything that blooms around the pool. I don’t want the petal litter in the pool either, which is why I mentioned some grasses for movement.
There are options for small very affordable water feature options that can be hid within your plants which will attract the pollinators and provide them with what they need so as to detract them from the pool area.
So excited for you, Matthew!
This property really suits you Mathew 🤗 and your going to make it beautiful 🥰 I have just tackled some unruly shrubs and it definitely helped me cutting them all back then digging out 😀
You have a beautiful property enjoy it and all in due time 😊like your ideas🌳
Thank you Mathew good luck. 🌺💚🙃
Love your property and say hello to Lewis! 😊
Just love your channel🌲🪴🤗
I can’t wait to see what you do with all this magnificent space. 💚💚👩🌾💚💚
I just came in from planting some shrubs and grasses. Whew! Hot and humid here in Tallahassee. Your pool looked soooo good👍
I hope you get some cooler weather soon! Looking forward to the future videos!
Mathew love the area where you can find who know what. Hope you will show what you find in that bush area. Have you ever thought now you have bigger place to start doing your own mulch and chip?
I love your videos..I’m not a big gardener. But I enjoy your tours and telling about plants..I’m in pa.I think it’s 6b. I was so disappointed you didn’t have time to dig up a few of the Easter plants😅. The name went right out of my head. Lol ..very expensive .
You have to get a golf cart or 4 wheeler
I won't buy mulch in bulk anymore, I was told the soil and mulch both were organic, no pesticides etc. But every area that it was used the plants have been stunted all this year, I'm in the process of removing and adding other types of soil and later mulch this fall, it's been a huge waste of time, effort and money for me. I know it's not your problem, more to let new gardeners know not every bulk provider is honest in what they are providing, maybe invest in getting sample tests first before investing in large loads before committing fully.
Getting a ph test done after putting new compost or mulch in is very important, that way you can amend the soil for your plants specific needs. I mulch with a fine compost twice a year at first I struggled cause it through the ph off I. My beds which effected certain plants and I just had to make sure to amend around those plants.
Don’t buy mulch because you don’t know what they grind in with it to make the mulch. I use shredded bark for planting beds and pine bark for walkways, at least I know what it is.
I also will never buy bulk anymore it was full of all type of pests, almost destroyed my garden beds.
I buy Preen mulch at Lowe’s by the bag. It does have Preen in it, and the chips are relatively small, so it looks pretty good, and does degrade over time, another good thing. It is almost never on sale, and costs about $4 to $5 a bag. But, for $20 I can get four bags and they go a long way. I have put down cardboard since last year and that has helped with weeds.
I am focusing on plants that don’t get eaten by rabbits or deer. Day lilies get eaten when they bloom, and the deer eat the greenery almost to the ground. I can spray and it helps, but after they bloom, I don’t want to continue to spray the greenery just to keep it looking good. So, they will be coming out and given to some other gardener. I have found butterfly bushes are not eaten. I bought five dwarf bushes and they have done great. Also don’t require much water. Dwarf spirea also are double blooming and drought tolerant. No deer or rabbit issues.
I just moved from one small apartment to another and it was exhausting and very stressful. Moving from one house to another might have killed me.
How do the dogs like the pool?
You are going to need a Gator!
Rome was not built in a day... take your time and do what you can... we will enjoy the ride and the results no matter how long it takes...
I don’t much like day lilies but there are a few that I really like and have ordered in the past only to find when they bloom the next spring they are definitely not the ones I ordered. That makes me so upset especially since they bloom in colors that don’t go with any other thing I have. 🌺💚🙃
Hi Matthew, some arborist will go out of their way to bring chips if you offer to pay for delivery. Much cheaper than mulch.
I’ve offered to pay on chip drop! But I’m going to reach out to some more arborists as well.
How many acres do you have there? It's already pretty; soon it will be glorious!!
What about a natural pond for wild life?
Ponds in this area attract geese like crazy. They get very territorial and make extreme messes.
Here in Florida if you pay them $20 chip drop will show up and stop putting you off. I got the first one pretty quick but when I put in another request they kept making me redo my request until I offered a little money and then mysteriously they showed up.
The tiny stone you could shovel into a wheelbarrow
I’ve got a shovel for you, Deborah! Come on over and shovel a while, then you can sit a while afterwards. 😂
@@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden I’m just thinking how heavy the shop vac is going to get , lol. I would love to help you guys, such beautiful property. How many acres ?
How did I miss the move?
💖💖🎶🎶
You have beautiful property, but I bet it takes awhile to mow your vast lawn.
Matthew did you bring your fountain from your other house? Would that bed by your outdoor stairs be a good place to put the fountain, or do you have other plans for it?
I didn’t bring either of my fountains. I may discuss why in a future video.
I bought a lot of daylilies I wanted to make a swoop across our front yard like Jenny of creekside nursery we don’t have drainage issues like her just a lot of grass to cut and a steep ditch to mow. It’s scary but my husband put the kabobs to that idea. I planted them in a big grouping was sweet til the deer found them
Looks like that tree in the front is too far gone. 😢
