Hello Olga and good morning! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful gardens with the rest of world. You are very inspiring and quite a lovely person. God bless you and have a wonderful day. :)
Love the little yellow flowers❤ Beautiful❤
Olga, wonderfully beautiful1
If I lived in your neighborhood, I would walk past your house every morning! It's such a lovely home!
You wouldn't believe it, but some people told me that they bought their houses nearby, just to walk past my garden every day! Wow! I would love to have you as a neighbor, we would have afternoon tea under our roses!
@@OlgaCarmody YES! What fun that would be! I would make sure to arrive at the tea party with extra plants to gift you. I'm being overrun with four different ground covers I need to tame back a bit.
Beautiful ❤
What a beautiful entrance to the dinning courtyard !!! You always have the best ideas !!!
Thank you!
❤
I hope my mophead hydrangeas come back. These are the second trio of plants, last year I replaced them with even bigger plants hoping that would ensure they'd return. Our winter was extremely severe. Third highest snowfall on record! Rabbits ate anything they could, they even ate my dwarf apple tree above 2' trunk collar. They ate my blue spruce halfway up making it into a 🌴 tree. Heavy snow bent my arborvitae hedge limbs down and I don't think they'll fully stand upright. I'm thinking of topping them.
So, I look at your protective fencing and am dubious that barrier will deter the aggressive rabbits I have.
I'm redesigning a front yard garden and so far, all the new plants are rabbit resistant. Including my beloved nepeta.
Ah, those rabbits and cold winters! If those hungry animals are desperate for food, they probably would eat fence and everything inside of it. As for arborvitaes, maybe you want to consider training them to one central leader...Just a thought.
I love when I see you posted a new video 😊
Nice! The bunnies always eat my creeping phlox, but I actually saw some blooms this year where it crept through my hardy geranium. My hydrangea sticks don’t seem to be budding out either. 😢 We’ll see.
There are always unpredictable situations. I was so looking forward to the first blooms of Boscobel rose, my transplant rose, and one day squirrels ate the buds. What can you do!
What a beautiful, peaceful tour. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening with us.
My please, Mandy!
Looking beautiful!!
Beautiful sharing. Greetings from UK 🇬🇧 😊❤
Thank you! Greetings from US!
Beautiful gardens in the front. I like the perennial bed in the street strip. Very good use of space!
Thank you, that street strip is a wonderful small extra buffer for our front. Happy gardening!
Absolutely gorgeous 😍
P. S. You can make smudge sticks from your sage
Thank you Agne, what a great idea!!
Such a beautiful space. What is the small tree right by the front of your house with white flowers? I love it!
Thank you, I am trying to locate the name of that tree. I used to remember it... sorry. And my plant identification app is wrong on it.
Olga, your garden is lovely. Especially the sidewalk garden. All of my hydrangea look like that. I have been on this same property for 38 years, and the hydrangea was here when we moved in. I think it was the artic blast at Christmas time that froze all the stems. Sigh... nothing you can do but hope for another year.
Yes, Mary, this year a lot of us will enjoy green hydrangeas without blooms. Happy gardening!
Our hydrangeas on Cape Cod look just like yours. It makes me sad to have a year without flowers, but it is an opportunity to cut some of my larger ones down. We are attributing it to a milder than usual winter and then one extremely cold temp drop in February, where it went from 48 degrees one afternoon to well below zero by the following morning. We are also noticing this temp swing impacting some roses and butterfly bushes. Maybe you are seeing the same thing in Ct? It is the talk of the gardening community here! Your garden looks beautiful.
I totally agree about winter conditions. That bad frost did a lot of damage, and our hydrangeas suffered. Well, hopefully next year we will have beautiful blooms! Happy gardening!
Olga you have beautiful curb appeal. I could never plant that close to the street because of our snow plow removal in my zone 5b. Bonny
Our plow does some damage too, but not too bad, it just goes in a straight line and our flower bed ends up with a lot of snow. I was worried that hydrangeas won't like it, they do. Happy gardening!
@@OlgaCarmody We use a lot of salt on our roads here.
@@richbishop7896 How about some salt tolerant plants?
So awesome! I love watching your videos. You are super talented. What is the name of your azalea shrub at the beginning of the video?
I really don't know, we inherited it with the house many years ago. Isn't she pretty?
If I remember correctly you planted the Roald Dahls all in one hole. Could that possibly have something to do with it?
I planted them around 1.5 feet apart in a circle. They didn't even fill that small space around them. I am patient, even if I have to move them to my secluded back garden, away from wind and rabbits.
I had one just replanted 7 wks ago, leafed out but no new shots since and its having trouble leafing out. All my transplants are doing good except the Roald Dahl. Olga, I have two bareroot planted almost teo months ago and not leafing out. Any tips will be welcome
I have a feeling that Roald Dahl is a slow starter. As for your bare roots. Give them time, of course, make sure that their basic needs are met. And wait, that is the only thing.
@@OlgaCarmody thank you, Olga. Will do on them. Happy gardening.
It looks to me - you are missing a couple of ackers to expand your gardening activity :)
You are so right!! It would be nice to have a nice "chunk" of land to be lost in. Meanwhile we have raised beds at the front of the house. Many passers by pause for a minute near them. I wonder what they think...
@@OlgaCarmody I would do the same if I were your neighbor :)
olga why your queen of sweden is so small in breadth....is it bad performing or it doesnt spread much....or its age is less
There are several reasons. Biggest one would be, those roses don’t get morning sun, deer eat the leaves in the fall, and this late winter here in CT we had strong late freeze, many stems were damaged. I had to do some serious pruning. Plus, in the future that area will be in shade, I would need to rethink that spot all over again, no matter how much I want roses under that front window.
I live in a national tree city with a population of eight hundred twenty-five people. We are surrounded by hard wood woodland trees. Still local people want to plant full blown wood land trees aft of city sidewalks close to streets. The planting of urban trees must be intelligently thought out. I think the fifteen foot or smaller
Japanese maples are the perfect low maintenance tree. I would rather have woodland trees in the woods ,and have plenty of open lit vista's for herb food and flower production in my town.
In small cooperative communities properly placed and managed fruit trees might be a good alternative for urban plantings. Our irrigation comes from pure deep well water. I am petitioning the trust and our local council to do exploratory drilling and establish at least two more fresh water wellsprings. A cherry tree orchard was planted last year on state owned historic property in the town , and that was on one of the sunniest plots in the city. Sorry for ranting, i just had to put my two cents worth in. Food,herb,vegetable,and fruit production is essential .
Lovely read, you are involved in very interesting projects, John! And our kids would benefit from veg gardens everywhere, that is for sure. Have a great day!
Your front is lovely. I love the yellow and the purple so pretty. ❤
I also had die back from freeze on my hydrangeas,and crape myrtle.
Yes, I started to cut those hydrangea stems, no point of waiting any more.
