I saw one of those Wheel bugs in my backyard. I took a picture of it and used Google Lens to figure out what it was and it turns out to be a good thing. They eat other pests in the yard.
Definitely, the golden arborvitae look so much better against the brick. The dark green azaleas get lost. All your plant choices are wonderful. You are really creating an inviting and beautiful sancutary.
I think you are making so much progress, you have been constantly working towards completing the idea you have had in your head and I just love seeing it all happening in stages. who cares about some bags and bits, you will get round to everything in good time. Its more motivating to look at what has been done and not what hasn't.
I love your garden Linda and your style of gardening. You have been a great inspiration ❤. As a Moroccan I would like to thank you for praying and thinking of my country .
Absolutely yes on the arborvitae flanking the garage door . I’m a little OCD and I cannot handle messes, so I would move things twice, just for visual peace
Linda, THANK YOU so much for being such breath of fresh air in these trying times. The news has been so crazy of late....fires, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes (and politics) ALL over the world. So heavy on my heart. Then I see one of your videos and I am hopeful for a better tomorrow and a brighter day. I am a gardener and long time follower and love both of your homes. There is no peace like the peace of being in and working on a garden. Thank you!!!! You are doing a service....carry on!
You made my afternoon with that comment. I feel your angst. All we can do is what we can do in our immediate surroundings and in our behavior. Thank you for making me feel valued.
It's Thursday here in Australia when I watch your Wednesday walkabout, and I would just like to say, I love how you think of others going through their difficulties. Your garden is looking just beautiful, take care and God bless Linda. 🏡
Great video. Like you, I would be so happy puttering around your back garden. That's my kind of place! Yes to the gold arborvitaes on each side of the garage door. Perfect to brighten and soften. I'm not so sure about the oakleaf hydrangea there. Like mine, it's an older variety that grows gangly, so I'll be watching to learn what you do with it to keep it attractive and under control. Clean up...at one time I might have cleaned it all up and kept it tidy, but with age and experience I've learned to just do it in bits and pieces as I work on a small area at a time.
So exciting Linda, it is going to look so good when it all is planted. I agree why do the work twice...just wait till you can remove the stuff standing around to their final destination. Love, love your garden.
Linda, Spray the little plant stand black. Black always works and the pots and plants (or anything else you might put on the stand occasionally) will be nicely highlighted, as the black often times sorta disappears. I love just piddling in the garden, too! It’s wonderful therapy. Love your vlog!
Loved this video with all the nitty gritty work in the garden. I wanted to call out to Stewart to lend a hand as you hauled the plant containers back and forth! Attagirl! May I say, JoHanna's training program comes to mind. Thank you for showing us the Butterfly Candy in its natural unedited condition and other areas of your beautiful backyard as it undergoes this process. Equally, I embrace the areas in transition and glamour of this creative space!
Since the guys are coming to paint, they could probably easily spray your plant stand gray which will also disappear into the background, if you want it to.
Love all the plantings Linda. Such fun ideas. I think the color idea of the 2 arbs is lovely, but I think the scale is too big. Maybe another plant with same fluffy and color palate?
Oh Linda, it is coming along and really looking so comfortable and familiar...the LV signature is starting to blossom and the chaos is withering away. I love the golden arbivite on either side of the door and can just imagine your boys sitting the with a glass of something chatting to dad while he grills and your DIL's and you chatting around the fire bowl. What a gorgeous garden. ❤
I love to piddle! I have a mobile plant bouquet give away. I make bouquets from my flowers. (Vases i thrifted very cheaply) and put bouquets in a box in my red wagon and the box says, TAKE A BOUQUET, HAVE A GOOD DAY! I wheel the bouquet wagon out front and ajyo B e xancstop and take w bouquet. What joy
Linda, here's an idea for the neighbor's fence: paint the posts your signature gray and install lattice panels between the posts also in gray. I think it will make that fence recede and the lattice will repeat the lattice on your other fence. ☺️
Heck Linda, Life is messy! I've been living with a messy side yard for 3 years since moving here. I have created a front yard and partly a back yard where there was nothing. Now I'm working on the sides. It's fun and I sure don't worry about getting it all done at once... especially since I'm 80 years old and sometimes have to wait til my gardener can do some extra things like digging me some planting holes or pulling out a nasty old shrub that I can't do myself. You're more of a fussy gardener than I am. But you're young and can do a lot more than I can. Love your channel and have followed you for a few years now. 🥰😄
What an excellent idea!! Just like you say: “rob Peter to pay Paul” And use what you already have. That beautiful Silverado Sage will look amazing in the empty corner which appears to get more sun and will be protected from the north wind in winter. AWESOME 🤩❤👍🏻
If you moved your terra cotta pots to the back fence on tables, they can be staged, being the area for potting up plants. Otherwise when you plant your magnificent Japanese Maple it may be hard to have access to the pots where they are now located… just a thought
At .26 on the video - have you considered planting ajuga along the street side of the fence? It would mask the uneven fence bottom and fill in the bare soil. I'm always interested in plants that thrive in heat and some humidity as we've had drought and high temps the last 3 summers in Minnesota.
Thanks for the tour. Everything is looking great; you’ve done a lot in a short 9 months! I live in my space; be it in process or for guests visiting. I don’t live in a magazine image, I live in reality of the ever changing Oklahoma environment. Truly excited to see where your yard looks in 12 months from now. Blessings! Lynda Kay
What a great plant load! I definitely make a mess and don’t mind it at all. It’s all part of the process and I think a lot of creative people can work amongst chaos. We know it will eventually be cleared away.
Linda, I think the golden arborvitae next to your garage door would be beautiful! They bring a lot of color, interest, and a kind of ethereal look to that area.
Hi Linda. Amazon now has pictures of your 5-year garden journal. Looks great! After seeing those pics, I bought one for my sister and another for my sister-in-law. I had pre-ordered my copy months ago. Can’t wait to receive it!
Linda - Who needs a garden book to look to for inspiration. All I have to go is watch your channel and immediately inspiration hits and I am ready to run out to my backyard and start digging. Thanks so much
Leaving messes until you're finished, I don't know what you're talking about! 😜 I say the less work, the better, as long as it's not a tripping hazard. My patio is filled with "unfinished projects"! And "finished projects"! I work until it's done or until I can't tolerate the heat or back pain anymore, so I often don't put everything away immediately after I finish. 😬🤭
I like the “hedge” by the gate door - it will provide privacy when the gate is open, but be very welcoming! Would love to putter in your garden for an afternoon….cozy…
We've been working in the yard since spring. Planted about 130 shrubs and plants. Another delivery this week My yard is a mess. Hopefully everything completed next spring. So, I'm living with it.
I think you’re right that those golden arbs will brighten up that space in front of the garage. Just sitting it there was so impactful. - I also have intentional messes to avoid double work and conserve energy.
My 2 cents my love is putting the above ground planters between the 3 large trees by the back door to hide some of the gardening supplies and since you are the topiary queen I would fill the back fence with all shapes and sizes❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🏼👏🏼
The concrete on your porch and steps look great stained or treated, whatever was done. Also, I think you should have a cardboard cutout of Stewart somewhere in the back. Maybe in a corner 😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG! I'm gobsmacked with everything you've done with the new Cottage Villa! Part of me feels guilty that my gardens have fallen so far behind, and at the same time the other part of me is so inspired by everything you do. I'm really looking forward to what you're doing with the back yard. It's going to be a beautiful private garden sanctuary by the time you're finished with it. I'm looking forward to the plant portrait videos you're going to do. I need to know more about these plants that are so functional and beautiful (ex. golden arborvitae) so I can incorporate them in designing my gardens.* Mille Grazie dal mio cuore! ~Jean *I have terrible weeds and I'm hoping that if I up my plantings, they'll choke out the weeds. (Zone 10, Long Beach, CA)
I am so excited to see the newest plantings in place. Let the adventure begin! I have those horrendous, landlubber grasshoppers here in Florida. They have voracious appetites as you likely know. I have not seen the “prehistoric creature”. But, we have every other bug/insect known to man so that one is probably lurking somewhere. 😊
At 25:47 where you call that bug "pre-historic" I could not help but laugh. He is in the family of beneficial insects "Assassin." He can get very large and is like the praying mantis and Banana Spider, where they seemingly have an unending appetite. They eat a huge amount of the bad bugs. Look him up and research this amazing creature. We have lots of them here in Lancaster County Pennsylvania and always make every effort to protect them. You are blessed to have so many beneficial insects.
So inspired and have cleared out my fence area on my front walkway and planted 5 Encore Azaleas!! Zone 6 here in Ohio so wish us luck!! Backyard is beautiful!
Linda, the tall reddish plant in the large 'Papa Bear' container at the corner of the garage is a 'Mahogany Splendor' (Hibiscus) - Hibiscus acetosella. We grow them every year here in Zn 5b.
💚Only Linda Vater can wear an outfit that looks like she is ready to walk down the run way for Vogue, to work in her garden! So freakin cute!! 🍁 The back yard is going to be magnificent!! Hello Stewart! Hello grasshoppers and prehistoric bug! Side Note: I too, leave the mess while I am reworking my garden spaces. I know it will not stay that way and I am not moving the crap twice!! 😂 I too know the gratification when it is all done is enough for me to wait and if I can wait so can the “passer byers” & neighbors! 😏
Love the golden arbs flanking the garage entrance...great idea. As for messes...my life is a series of works in progress, so, I am quite comfy with messes.
Lord Linda, I’ve been living with gardens in progress for the last year. If you don’t have patience, I don’t think you can be a gardener.; constantly waiting for things to grow. I absolutely love you & Stewart! My zone 8b is cooling off too.
It's Indiana Jones moving plants!😄👍 I will water the dirt first then put in cuttings. The mulch gives a nice touch. I'm saving up for a blower like that. Makes grooming the garden so much easier. You always make my day. Hi Stewart. ❤️
Looks to me that in time, the forever Goldie’s might get to large to be comfortable for that area. Something to large acts like a wall for the walkway to the alley. I note that walkways to an alley or other space be free for safety & sight
Oh I can definitely put up with interim messes so as I don't move the stuff around more than once. I was not bothered at all by the piles of stuff in your background. In fact, I delay cleaning my house until it's really necessary. Then I get more satisfaction, enjoy the results more, and I get more time spent beautifying my GARDEN!!! 😊 I LOVE all your brick rugs.
I saw one of those Wheel bugs in my backyard. I took a picture of it and used Google Lens to figure out what it was and it turns out to be a good thing. They eat other pests in the yard.

Thank you Susan🦋
I love this back yard view
Hi 👋🏽. What about putting the hollys instead of the golden arborvitae?
@@LindaVaterI also like the golden arborvitae but the size and density might be a little bit of a security risk right by the garage door.
Great camera work Stewart, been meaning to say that for awhile.
I agrée‼️
I agree and it’s nice how good the two of you work together!
I love the choice of music but it’s super distracting occasionally. Sorry.
The Forever Goldies against the brick is absolutely perfect! They stand out against the brick better than anything else.
I think you are making so much progress, you have been constantly working towards completing the idea you have had in your head and I just love seeing it all happening in stages. who cares about some bags and bits, you will get round to everything in good time. Its more motivating to look at what has been done and not what hasn't.
You're turning me into a You tube junkie... in the best possible way. Can't wait to see it all unfolding.
Love the idea of the goldies next to the garage door.
That view from your backyard looking towards your house is amazing! Great job Linda👏👏👏
I love your garden Linda and your style of gardening. You have been a great inspiration ❤. As a Moroccan I would like to thank you for praying and thinking of my country .
Absolutely yes on the arborvitae flanking the garage door . I’m a little OCD and I cannot handle messes, so I would move things twice, just for visual peace
It's all looking so AMAZING! When it's complete we should all have a cocktail a "Garden toast" 🌱🍷🍸🍾and celebrate with you.
Let’s do!
It would be fun! @@LindaVater
What a fabulous idea! 🥂
I don't mind the mess while we are doing something new in the garden, because I know it will eventually go away!! 😊
I am with you Linda. Seeing the mess keeps me going on a project because I don’t want the mess to stay.
Linda, THANK YOU so much for being such breath of fresh air in these trying times. The news has been so crazy of late....fires, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes (and politics) ALL over the world.

Yes Forever Gold Arborvitae by the garage doors.

Yes! I was thinking the color of her fence would make it blend in nicely!
I like matte black too.
Great walkabout Linda, can’t wait to see all of those planted up
Just beautiful Linda. I can't wait to see the end and I'm sure you can't either.
Loved this video with all the nitty gritty work in the garden. I wanted to call out to Stewart to lend a hand as you hauled the plant containers back and forth! Attagirl!

Gorgeous! I want that brick patio so badly!!!!! ❤❤❤
Yes to the Goldens!
Such a treat to watch you “ do”and plan and “piddle”…….great progress !!!
Piddle? Or Putz?
Putz
Piddle, putz and futz!!😂
Since the guys are coming to paint, they could probably easily spray your plant stand gray which will also disappear into the background, if you want it to.
Love all the plantings Linda. Such fun ideas. I think the color idea of the 2 arbs is lovely, but I think the scale is too big. Maybe another plant with same fluffy and color palate?
Such a cool beneficial insect the wheel bug!
The lattice work in the back garden is lovely.
Oh Linda, it is coming along and really looking so comfortable and familiar...the LV signature is starting to blossom and the chaos is withering away. I love the golden arbivite on either side of the door and can just imagine your boys sitting the with a glass of something chatting to dad while he grills and your DIL's and you chatting around the fire bowl.

The whole backyard theme starts to show spectacular outcomes. Linda has proven to be again and again a designer with foresight vision. Well done 👍
I love to piddle!
I have a mobile plant bouquet give away. I make bouquets from my flowers. (Vases i thrifted very cheaply) and put bouquets in a box in my red wagon and the box says, TAKE A BOUQUET,

Hi
Ooh...lovely. More southern living plants.💕🍀
If you moved your terra cotta pots to the back fence on tables, they can be staged, being the area for potting up plants. Otherwise when you plant your magnificent Japanese Maple it may be hard to have access to the pots where they are now located… just a thought
Oh my everything looks so beautiful. 🌲🌻🦋
Love your gratitude. So many people forget.
Coming away so inspired as always. 😊
Linda, genius create chaos before order. ❤

Great idea. I noticed that too
How exciting! I’m like you, chaos and a mess before the finale. Such satisfaction in that, plus less work. Enjoy planting! 😊
THATS right Linda, I would not like to do that twice either, you will get to it in time!!!!!!!!! Your garden is gorgeous, i love 💕 it!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the tour. Everything is looking great; you’ve done a lot in a short 9 months!

The back is coming together just as beautifully as the front, so fun following along.
Boy oh boy. So much to think about. I have rooted some coulis and plan on planting it in my fall containers. Thanks again for inspiring me. ❤
What a great plant load! I definitely make a mess and don’t mind it at all. It’s all part of the process and I think a lot of creative people can work amongst chaos. We know it will eventually be cleared away.
The gold arbs would look smashing by the garage door! Great idea! Linda
I soooooo loved this segment!!!! It s becoming soooo lovely there!,,🪴❤️🪴

Going to be sooooo beautiful❤

How exciting!! Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out! ❤
Forever Goldies flanking the garage door 🤙🏻 will look wonderful and truly brighten up the area.
Oh my gosh- I get so excited seeing the progress on your back living area!! ❤
My 2 cents my love is putting the above ground planters between the 3 large trees by the back door to hide some of the gardening supplies and since you are the topiary queen I would fill the back fence with all shapes and sizes❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🏼👏🏼
Exciting changes and progress. Love it!
YAY for the Forever Goldie!!!!! It will be gorgeous and provide brightness and contrast to the area! ❤
Mess is necessary to create change.
BE BRAVE AND PLANT IT I HAVE SEVERAL HERE ON GULF COAST AND WITH OUR FREEZE FOR SEVERA DAYS YHEY DID GREAT!!!❤
Thank you. Voting for golden arborvitae.
My poor hubby has moved the same heavy planters around the yard until it looks right to me.
Love the cedars by the garage and I would paint the plant stand black. 🇨🇦
I just love that paver area rug. And those steps❤your vision is coming to life.
Everything is looking beautiful and you are so cute, we just love you!
🙏🙏🙏
I had some Bluetooth speakers installed under the eaves and love to listen to music while doing some backyard chores.
The concrete on your porch and steps look great stained or treated, whatever was done. Also, I think you should have a cardboard cutout of Stewart somewhere in the back. Maybe in a corner 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cute outfit Linda. Always love new plants !

I see two trees in the shady corner of the backyard that I think a small hammock would be stellar. ❤
Hubs will love that idea!
That looks like mahogany splendour in the pot with the coleus… love the color combo! 😎🇨🇦
I am so excited to see the newest plantings in place. Let the adventure begin!
I have those horrendous, landlubber grasshoppers here in Florida. They have voracious appetites as you likely know. I have not seen the “prehistoric creature”. But, we have every other bug/insect known to man so that one is probably lurking somewhere. 😊
