    Hi Linda, While watching this segment of you in the garden with Willow, I thought “how is she going to get all this done.” You accomplish so much but there are limits. Then, you announced that you are able to hire some help through us supporting you. I am so excited about this, to know we share a small part in doing something for you; you give us so much enjoyment, inspiration and peace. Thank you and Ben for sharing your lives with us!

    I'm a teacher and one day the librarian was reading a book about a ladybug. One student (2nd grade) turned to another and said, "What if a ladybug is a boy? Then what is it called?" The other student, without missing a beat replied, "A gentleman bug." I'll never forget that. So cute. 🐞

Your style, charm and enduring sense of calm and peace makes me feel like you are more of a friend not just a YT channel. I could watch and listen to your videos for hrs. I’ve been binge watching all the ones I’ve missed since I’m new to your channel! I absolutely love your new home at Sugarwood! If I ever came over for a cup of coffee or tea I’d never leave!

    As a gardener myself it's always nice to see someone so enthusiastic about gardening and growing nice things as you. I must add though that I think the reason why your strawberries didn't produce last year is because you have an imposter in your raised bed. As you can see the new strawberries you planted have three leaves, as opposed to the viney Impostors which contain 5 leaves per segment. Nature is like that. Because you had no strawberries last year, it might be best for you to empty out the entire frame and just refill it with what you know for sure are strawberries! Hope that helps!❤Thanks again for all you do and keep up the great work!

    Maybe the "batten boards" on the outside of the sugar shack would help solve your water penetration issue. Plus upgrade the exterior a bit before you paint it. Always appreciate new ways to enjoy libations especially with the upcoming summer season here in Texas.

    While you're looking for some tables for the porch, maybe a few more cloches too! I love how the bleeding hearts thrived and bloomed. And I had to laugh, (sorry) when you were bringing the bags from your car to the flower beds. I thought, doesn't she own a cart or wagon and wouldn't that have been easier? Loved seeing Willow enjoying a good rolling in the grass and enjoying a Spring day. Loved your quote at the end of your video too. Happy Spring and Happy Gardening! 🌱🌷🌱

    What a lovely thing to do with your daughter! Also-I LOVE the shop the two of you visited, SO much to see! If you think your soil could use more amending using Biotone from Espoma might help. For gardening info I would suggest following Garden Answer 😊! There is a WEALTH of information about all aspects of gardening that isn’t just specific to Ontario Oregon. I have been watching the channel for nearly 5 years now, I often go back and watch old videos to remind myself of things I might have forgotten. I have NEVER had a better experience gardening prior to watching GA. Give it a try, I think you would enjoy it! PS Have you considered using mulch that is totally ground or even compost for mulch 🤔!

    • @newenglandfineliving

    Ah, this why we buy those L.L. Bean barn coats! We can just throw them in the wash! When I lived in the Hudson River Valley, many years ago, I used to take an annual late winter trip to a large greenhouse. It always served it's purpose - to remind me that winter wouldn't last forever, and give me a much needed dose of green. Looks like your porch is the perfect place for that!

    😊Linda I just love your channel! We live on some acreage just south of the Central Ohio area. We added a sunroom to our century old farmhouse and I was wondering what kind of heat you have on your porch that would allow you to utilize it as a greenhouse. Ours is too cold to use as living space in the winter months and though it has a southern exposure we have many overcast days.

    • @newenglandfineliving
      @newenglandfineliving  Рік тому +1

      A lot of the house is forced hot air and they did put in two registers in the floor of the porch. So though it does get super cold on very cold days, it’s never as cold as the outside.
