@Lin, it is nature’s way of cleansing! I especially love it when the Sun peaks out after a heavy rain. The droplets just magnify the colours of the garden!
Hi Linda, I watch your show from time to time and have never commented but just wanted to say a couple of things, first, your garden is amazing. Two, I love the contrast of the red geraniums in front of the woodpile and I think one thing so many of us have learned after a year of masks, confinement and more is that nothing is forever or written in stone, and we must take the time that we need for ourselves. If that means cutting back here and there on the garden, well, that's OK. p.s., love all your little thrifting tips for incorporating found treasures in the garden.
Where’s my glass of sweet tea? Linda’s in the garden with her camera! Rain or shine it doesn’t matter to me! What a spectacular garden! I love that umbrella pruned plant with the gorgeous blooms! (Can’t spell or pronounce it) My heart breaks at the loss of so much, but thankfully you’re there and it will come back even more beautiful! I just love how the names of these plants roll off your lips! So beautiful to see AND hear! 💕🌸🙌🏻🥰🌳
Oh Linda your Gardens are Absolutely Beautiful. I just Love your Video's. I learn a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your Talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and Stewart and have a Blessed Evening and Stay Safe my dear Friends.
to your eye it seems less than... to our eyes it looks like the secret garden of our dreams.. to sit on that brick stoop near your topiaries with a cup of tea would be my ideal way to dne an afternoon
Hi Linda! Nothing sweeter than a garden fresh with rain❣️ I just ordered Orange Rocket and Golden Barberry from Plantsbymail; told them you sent me🥰. I live in Midland, Tx, west Texas desert. Though I’ll never be as blessed as you with lush green, I do the best I can in this extreme heat and waterless land.You are always a fun part of my day. Thanks for keeping me up to date. Be blessed❣️
Hi Linda love the Wednesday walkabouts thank you forgoing out to do it for us when it is wet. Just look forward to see your beautiful garden everything is doing well. I do hope your boxwood is not dead Linda as it is so beautiful.
The fresh morning light with the rain and birds singing. Your gardens look amazing despite the losses...it's always amazing what pulls thru and gardens are always a work in progress. Thank you for always sharing.
I love the sense of community you foster! It is so lovely that one can scroll through the comments and find people chiming in with plant recommendations and pooling knowlege to combat pests and such. One of my favorite of your videos was one that talked about invastve species. When I scrolled through the comments so many people added the problem plants in their areas. Some of the plants I was considering people were sharing their problems with, I feel blessed to have been warned off them before I made the mistake of introducing them into my garden.
Everything looks great with a fresh coat of rain! Our eye sees a beautiful garden that we all envy and wish we had...you see the damage that was caused and the holes that need filled! Hoping everything still in question rebound!🌳🌳🌳
The garden is very pleasing to look at and admire. Yes, I’m a impatient Gardner also, but I’m the only one who does everything so I have to pace myself, lol And now that I’m older I’m fixing things I did as a young Gardner, lol With Age brings Wisdom😊 Thank you for the walkabouts enjoy them!
Linda, I love your garden and your gardening. Can you do a video of how you could prune a wegelia to look like an umbrella? I have learned so much from you as we have started a small garden club here in my neighborhood and we use your ideas!!
Mother Nature definitely lets us know who is in charge some years, doesn't she? Your weigela is the prettiest one I have ever seen. I love the way it is limbed up to show off it's beauty. The deutzia is amazing.
I love your garden I also have a lot of shade and I’m always so sad about it but your garden is so beautiful and inspiring to me. My backyard also took a big hit this winter and we lost a huge pine so I got a little bit of light but half is still shade. Thanks for the tour it looks amazing.
👋I know you are a gardener and your garden is gorgeous. I do also enjoy when you do videos about decorating in the house. Hope you do some more of those.
It’s so fun to see the difference in gardens between where I live and other parts of the country. I’m in NJ and my hydrangeas are just getting started.
Our yard and gardens are always looking “perfect” by Easter because we always host an Easter egg hunt, but this year we are taking it slowly as well. Love your garden!
Your Oak Leaf Hydrangeas look amazing !!! Mine are a little behind yours bloom wise. Love these updates. You had rain which means I'll have it in a couple of days here in Georgia. Can't wait for your Nandinas to pop back to perfection !
It’s beautiful wet or dry. That wegelia is gorgeous. Looking for some rain in Central Texas, but as you say, no flood. I planted perennials yesterday, so looking for a nice soak.
Linda mentions in the video there is a delay to later in May. QVC, Signature Garden Touches by Linda Vater QVC date and time to be announced! Super exciting
At the very end, "Bob we got a problem in Paradise." i about jumped out of my chair, sitting here in my office, in a dormer and it sounded like someone was talking into my window, had to replay it twice. But i thoroughly enjoyed the walkabout after the rain. Garden really looks good!
Excellent woodpile. These are very much encouraged in the UK as it is so beneficial to wildlife. Will you be showing the transplanting of your hellebore? I have a large plant and would love to spread it around my garden but not sure how and don't want to loose it. You have a gorgeous, gorgeous garden 😁
Lynn, I'm UK too and I just split my hellebore as you would split any perennial. It's come back fine and I now have several instead of just one. I split the hellebore with a spade and it's rejuvenated it wonderfully! Give it a go!
@@Ficus_blue excellent news. I'm going to be brave this weekend and give it a go. I reckon I could easily get 3 plants from my large one that's already established. Thanks for your reply
Linda, I pruned up under the canopy of my Chinese Snowball Vibernum. It was only about 5 ft tall. I noticed the limbs were heavy with snowballs and laying to the ground after the rains. Should I have waited til it was much taller. Also a note about The Snowball bush, I notice some of the bushes have sections that are growing flat like lacecaps on hydrangea., I looked up possible causes and one authority said sometimes they do that as a second flush, this was its first flush.
I live in central TX and I've noticed that boxwoods were one of the few plants that survived our snow apocalypse with little to no damage. The Indian Hawthornes not so lucky. I had to remove a dozen or so from my landscape and I will not be replanting any.
Hi Linda, Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden and all the progress you are making this spring. I’m so excited for your QVC product line. Do you know if items will be available to ship to Canada? Doesn’t like this is an option on the QVC website. Be well!
With respect to your hanging basket of geraniums and begonia, I always wonder how people manage mixing plants that love sun and those that thrive in shade, as this mixture consists of. How do you get both plants to thrive??
I have a 10 year old Oklahoma redbud with two 6" diameter trunks and I think one of the trunks is dead. The front one had fewer flowers & leaves than usual but the back one is still completely nekkid. Makes me so sad.
Overall it looks great Linda- I'm in North Texas and we only saw -6* but things you have that survived didn't in my yard. Do you know the variety of Maple you featured in the opening? It is amazing.
G’day Linda! Have you ever Topiary’d a Camellia? I have a 6ft in a large pot, it’s not very bushy, I’m thinking of fertilising & Topiary ing it in Spring, your thoughts if you have any tips, please? Much love & blessings! ♥️🙏🇦🇺Au.
Your garden is still lush and beautiful. ❤️ Question: do your redbuds ever produce a huge amount of seed pods? Mine had about a thousand this year and I am in the process of taking them all off! 🥺
@@melissasullivan1658 Hi from Central Valley Calif. Yes it is going to be a dry and here a very hot year. Plus you know the powers of govt. will force even more water conservation on us.🥵
I have several kind of hydrangeas, in Ontario Canada and I notice you don't prune them until spring. Is that no matter if you have the kind that bloom on old wood versus new wood? I have oak leaf, Annabelle, Pinky Winky and some of the newer cone shaped ones and I can never remember which to trim when. Maybe I should just leave them all to the spring till I see the buds?
My favorite time in the garden is during a light rain or just after. The garden seems to come alive and be so appreciative!
@Lin, it is nature’s way of cleansing! I especially love it when the Sun peaks out after a heavy rain. The droplets just magnify the colours of the garden!
And the smells on the first rain of the year are the best.

Beautiful spring OKC morning in your beautiful garden 🪴 ! I look forward to your weekly walkabouts! They bring a little joy to my day!
Wow. If you think this is not perfection then I cannot wait to see what your perfect garden will look like. Just loved the verdant hues. Gorgeous.
Absolutely beautiful!!!!! Gardens are all so pretty after rainfall. Love all of your bricks and gravel.
"Slowly, but surely I'm getting the garden together"....I'ts already so, so magical, I can't imagine anything prettier.
The green is so vivid after a rain. Beautiful tour.
Oh Linda your Gardens are Absolutely Beautiful. I just Love your Video's. I learn a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your Talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and Stewart and have a Blessed Evening and Stay Safe my dear Friends.

Beautifully lush ! X❤X
Linda I think we are getting some of those heavy rains of yours in Western Ky.
Only one of my large crepe myrtle has shoots at bottom. Still waiting. 7b

I own a landscaping company in OKC and this year has devastated gardens everywhere
That is an understatement Jordan. How are people handling it?
So pleasnt whethe☔☔🌱🌿🌨️🌷🌷🌨️⛈️🌳🌳Ur lushhh Nd Beautifulll garden 🍀🍁🍁☔❤️

I garden in Austin Texas and my japanese maples survived in perfect condition and look great too
Hi Linda, Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden and all the progress you are making this spring. I’m so excited for your QVC product line. Do you know if items will be available to ship to Canada? Doesn’t like this is an option on the QVC website. Be well!
Привет со штата Вашингтон!!😁👋👍💐💐💐
What do you do with your potted hellebores at end of the season? Leave them potted, or replant into garden. Thanks.
Oh my goodness! I love the angyo star!! If I had a shady spot I would buy one right now! Ugh!
Oh Linda I just saw your Photo at a Lowe’s in Dallas. You were beautiful!!!
And now hail. Good grief Oklahoma.
The fence on far side are you able to stain black like your other fences. I love your videos and all your topiaries!
With respect to your hanging basket of geraniums and begonia, I always wonder how people manage mixing plants that love sun and those that thrive in shade, as this mixture consists of. How do you get both plants to thrive??
This is a part sun part shade exposure. Inevitably one will do better than the other, but that’s okay with me:)
Have you done a video on how to train Nandinas to topiary?
I have a 10 year old Oklahoma redbud with two 6" diameter trunks and I think one of the trunks is dead. The front one had fewer flowers & leaves than usual but the back one is still completely nekkid. Makes me so sad.

Linda I absolutely love your hanging baskets ,they are big and beautiful just what I’ve been looking for ,how can I purchase them ?
G’day Linda! Have you ever Topiary’d a Camellia? I have a 6ft in a large pot, it’s not very bushy, I’m thinking of fertilising & Topiary ing it in Spring, your thoughts if you have any tips, please? Much love & blessings! ♥️🙏🇦🇺Au.
Linda I purchased two coppertop sweet viburnum. Can I grow them in pots?
Yes! Just protect indoors if you have extreme winter temps.
Your garden is still lush and beautiful. ❤️ Question: do your redbuds ever produce a huge amount of seed pods? Mine had about a thousand this year and I am in the process of taking them all off! 🥺
Yes! And it can be very annoying
My neighbors on both sides grow multiple redbuds. I spend my life pulling up seedlings.
@@LindaVater You are right! But it makes me feel better I’m not in the boat alone. ❤️
Beautiful garden, hi Linda how do cut my topiary do I need to buy tools to make it perfect round shape?
I so wish we could get some of your rain. .73 for month of April. Usually a rainy month, so is this a harbinger of our summer to come?
You must be in California like me. It’s going to be terrible by July. 😒
I’m so sorry 😞
@@melissasullivan1658
Hi from Central Valley Calif. Yes it is going to be a dry and here a very hot year. Plus you know the powers of govt. will force even more water conservation on us.🥵
It still looks pleasantly nice to me. The wood pile looks burnt are they?
Nope! Just wet
Do you have details on the artificial turf you installed? It really does look real! Thanks
Oh ! And who would have thought Hellebores in pots ? I really love that !!!!
Me tooooo!
Might I ask where you found that ladder shelf for the baby topiaries? I’ve been looking for something exactly like it!
