Thank you for this video I am so sick of watching videos where people are sponsored and given a truck load of plants. Its so refreshing to see someone working with and using what they have on a budget. I live in South Africa and i grow many of my plants from seed or divided and propagate. The specialty ones I buy in but sparingly.
Agreed ! Anyone can create something amazing with unlimited resources but a curated garden built over time with that which is gathered , really wins my heart 💙
Thank you so much. I have to admit, there are times I wish I could buy ‘all the things’ when it comes to gardening. I tell myself to have patience and the plants that I’m able to buy on sale will eventually fill my garden up. 🥰 My mom’s husband had visited South Africa often.
@@birdhousegarden Yes I am bit of a plant a-holic but patience is good because sometimes what you planted works better else where. We are in our winter now so its maintenance and planting enjoy and keep the videos coming. I am going to subscribe now.
I really enjoyed watching you and your husband grow and expand the garden. What a wonderful hobby to do together. ❤ A real garden, in a realistic homestead. I just love you channel and videos, please keep them coming 😊
Better check the variety of that Nandina. The original owner used the bucket to contain it, many varieties are invasive. I am currently cleannig a bed at my Church....IT's everywhere!! Your beds are beautiful!! I am a clearance gardener also!!
Love the drift or shrub roses. I have popcorn drift and pink ones as well. Also have the lemon lace elderberry. First year, not much growth. This year, gorgeous!
Our soil isn’t too bad. I mulch in some areas. Under our camphor and redwood trees we do not much. Those tree provide beautiful shade, however they are so messy, I have to rake twice a week. 🤦♀️😃
Oh, I’m so happy. At least once a week we go to the blue store to see what’s in the clearance area. Don’t forget to asks your locally owned nurseries as well. 😃
This is my first video of yours I’ve watched. It is refreshing to see a self made and manageable garden. I always go to the clearance racks at Lowe’s first. I even bought some annuals this spring and a 4foot lemon cypress for half price. Love it. Love your garden.
Thank you so much for watching. I absolutely love lemon cypress. I bought another small one during the holidays. We’ll see how long it can stay in our window box. 😊
I usually don’t watch garden Chanel’s in a much warmer zone than mine but your Chanel grabbed my attention. Your garden is so pretty and whimsical. I also love your hairstyle. Love from Nova Scotia, Canada
Thank you so much. You live in a beautiful area. I’ve not been, however my mom has vacationed near you. I’ve had the same stylist for nearly 30 years. Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden! I too love to buy clearance and watch them grow so beautifully! May I ask what kind of soil do you have? It seems very smooth and gray looks!
You should be so proud of your gardens.I am still blown away by your geraniums. Wow. You can always tell when someone loves their home and this is quiet obvious with yours.
New subscriber here. Ur garden is absolutely beautiful! 😍 I live in west Tx, zone 8a, which is desert like and very dry. Our summer temps mirror the kind u spoke about in this video, and we get very little rain. Our soil and water r both alkaline. I have cinder block fences in our backyard that I would love to screen with plants, but haven’t figured out yet what might work best. U mentioned ur creeping fig and it’s so beautiful, but I don’t think it would be able to survive the full sun that my cinder block fence is in. Can u recommend some screening plants that could survive hot brutal all day sun pls? Ty!
Oh my! Your weather sounds so much like ours. I have family in Amarillo. 😃 Have you considered Bougainvillea? That’s what I really wanted to plant. We were in Yuma, AZ last March and I saw bougainvillea everywhere. They do well in direct hot sun with little water.
@@birdhousegarden I had two bougainvillea growing thru obelisks last yr, and our winter killed them even tho I covered them with frost cloth so now I’m afraid to try large swaths of them over the cinder blocks walls. I’d hate to lose many plants at once.
I love your video. your statue is exactly like the one I got for my hubby who is a retired firefighter. a storm came and broke his head off. I wish I could find it again. by the way you have such beautiful hair. I love all the layers. so pretty. I style mine similar. but my hair is not at thick and pretty as yours.
Thank you. He used to sit in my mom’s garden for years when she lived near San Francisco. She gave it to me when she moved to be closer to us. I’ll ask where she purchased it. Aren’t hot rollers the best! 😃
Thank you. I believe it will attach itself to a wooden fence. I think it would compromise it more than the cinder block. Are you talking about where the plumbago is planted?
Your garden is so charming! You guys have done a wonderful job! The before and after pictures are amazing. I love your plant selection, what do you have growing on the back concrete fence? Is it ivy? It looks pretty good. Have a great day!
What a beautiful garden! I also look for clearance plants that scream "save me and I will give you joy!" I bought 15 Merritt supreme hydrangeas on clearance last year (3 Gallon for $5 each). They are doing well but only one has budded up this season- I am in SE Ga 8B. Did I hear you say you put 5 gallon/hr emitters on each of yours?
Yes, we did. I'll probably do that to a few other plants as well. We have water restrictions. Only being able to water 3 days a week during certain hours of the day. Outside of our wet winter, California rarely receives rain. Most of them have buds. I'm hoping to film them in bloom this coming month.
Your flowers are so beautiful!!!!! You have did a wonderful job of landscaping, love your Hydrangeas, I planted 3 last fall, but already the sun has scorched some of the leaves, I just don't have enough shade😮💨
😂I have small sections of metal garden fencing ALL OVER my garden exactly for the same reason!😅 my dog loves to run through the beds and sometimes just dig up and lay on plants. I hate the way it looks but it's the only solution I've found. It was really nice ti see that someone else is dealing with the same thing! Thank you for your video.
Fellow Fresnan here! I love to garden and re-purpose plants and other elements. Your garden is beautiful and so fun to see you describe all your transformation! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!😃 Yes, I live in central California, Fresno/Clovis. Our summers are long, with temperatures over 100 degrees. We have a few days in the 90’s coming up. Then we’re back to 105. I’m looking forward to cooler weather. 🍂
Your garden is gorgeous! I can see that significant amount of love was invested in it. Question: what is the name of the plant with silvery foliage on the right hand side at 10:27? I like it very much and would like to have it in my garden.
@george lee; my Artimesia is gorgeous. It came in a small quart size pot, and now it's 3 ft high and 4-5 feet across!! I shape it perfectly into a round cloud. It gets tiny yellow flowers that I trim off immediately so that it saves its energy and keeps a smooth shape. Water several times a week in summer and it grows more sense. It does best in full, hot sun. I love it!
I have Perfume Breeze rose and l love it! So easy to grow, smells so beautiful and I got it for about $7!!! It’s actually my favorite rose in my garden right now 🌹
Your garden is looking beautiful. I enjoy seeing the before and after. So pretty. I love your fountain. It's a great size. It it electric or solar? How tall is it? I'm California zone 9b and we get the ocean influence in the afternoon which is wonderful.
Thank you. The fountain is electric and approximately 5 feet tall. I remember the ocean breeze and miss it so much. We used to live in Ventura county. 🌊
Just found your channel! The garden is beautiful. What is the plant on your cedar block wall ? It’s so pretty and green . I’m done 9 b so not sure how it would do here
Creeping fig is covering the block wall. I’m in zone 9b, central California. It’s on drip. We uses 5 gph emitters. It covered half the wall in the first 6 months. So glad you found my channel. Welcome 🤗
I'm new to your channel. Your plants are common ones that we grow in our zone 9 hot and dry area. Can you let me know if your area is dry or humid? I'm trying to learn gardening and my hot/dry climate is hard to grow in + not many youtubers cover this climate. I follow 3 of them. Thanks
Hi! Welcome 😃 I live in central California, Fresno. We are extremely hot and dry. We get hotter than Sacramento, yet not as hot as Palm Springs. Also, we don’t cool down at night. Hope that helps.
@Birdhouse Garden Thank-you for your reply. I'm in the central valley too but at the north end. We are also hotter than Sacramento and it is certainly a challenge to figure out how to successfully grow everything. I am adding as many California Natives as I can. It's so much fun learning how to navigate our challenging climate. I will be watching your videos for 'hot' tips😉.
Hi I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of weeks now, congratulations on your garden it has rewarded you beautifully with all your persistence and hard work to achieve this serene and charming oasis, I live in South Australia and our summers can be hot 🥵 but nothing like your climate, happy gardening ❤
I love the budget section at Lowes. I have found some nice rescues there. This year, so far, I have been planting divisions and seeds I started. I always want to purchase something new - but, I do appreciate saving money. Your dog run is a brilliant idea. I am going to share that idea with my daughter. Her 3 dogs literally ruin her back yard, but she certainly has enough room to put in a dog run around the perimeter. Thank you for sharing!
The dog run became very important for that exact reason. 🤣 Oh.. the plants I’ve lost because of him. We watched his pattern and worked with making openings for him.
Hey girlll...this is the second video of yours....I love your garden. The little fence looks like garden art.. Your are doing a great job. Thanks be bless 🙏
Looks amazing! I just started redoing my garden last year I'm zone 9b-ish (technically 10a but microclimate i'm in is more 9b) I can't wait for it to fill in! I always have to remember gardens sleep, then creep, then leap!
My local nursery gave me cuttings today for free. How exciting is that? They are like my neighbors. We trade things all the time. So fun. Your garden is so tranquil. A great place to walk around in, I'm sure! Thanks for sharing

I very much prefer your garden over the big names. Real life!
We swap plants in my neighborhood! We have little free sharing area on a shady street corner. We are all going crazy exchanging iris this week!
I really enjoyed watching you and your husband grow and expand the garden. What a wonderful hobby to do together. ❤ A real garden, in a realistic homestead. I just love you channel and videos, please keep them coming 😊

Better check the variety of that Nandina. The original owner used the bucket to contain it, many varieties are invasive. I am currently cleannig a bed at my Church....IT's everywhere!! Your beds are beautiful!! I am a clearance gardener also!!
I had no idea. I better check. Thank you for letting me know.
So true beautiful color, but be certain to buy the non-invasive type
Love the drift or shrub roses. I have popcorn drift and pink ones as well. Also have the lemon lace elderberry. First year, not much growth. This year, gorgeous!
Thank you 😃 Someday I’ll have to order the Lemony-Lace.
Beautiful garden! Gives me so much for mine, which is only a year old.
Thank you 😊 It always surprises me how quickly plants can grow. Before you know it, your garden will be full.
What a transformation! Good job! Gardening is so enjoyable and rewarding!
Thank you. It is enjoyable, I agree. It’s peaceful. 😊
Your garden is beautiful. Hard work really pays off. You must have rich soil as I notice you don't have any type of top dressing around your plant.
Our soil isn’t too bad. I mulch in some areas. Under our camphor and redwood trees we do not much. Those tree provide beautiful shade, however they are so messy, I have to rake twice a week. 🤦♀️😃
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 😃
So happy I found your channel! I'm starting with a blank slate and limited budget. You gave me great ideas and lots of hope! Thank you!

Love your channel. So cal 9b here. I just planted Lambs Ear. It’s doing great. It would do great in your garden.
Thank you. I actually bought a few Lambs Ear. The pincher bugs and snails got to them🤦♀️I’m looking for a spot to plant them.
@@birdhousegarden Thanks for the heads up.
Hi🌺 your garden looks amazing with these beautiful plants .Have anice day .🌻🌺🌻
Thank you so much. Have a beautiful day. 🌸
Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden! I too love to buy clearance and watch them grow so beautifully! May I ask what kind of soil do you have? It seems very smooth and gray looks!
It’s high PH making it look that way. I use compost as mulch where I can.
What a beautiful space! So save money on annuals I buy them early and trim back then I save and replant the rooted cuts.
I’ll have to try that. 😃
So glad to have found your channel! Subscribed.
Welcome 😊 Thank you for subscribing.
Your garden is beautiful! ❤️

You should be so proud of your gardens.I am still blown away by your geraniums. Wow. You can always tell when someone loves their home and this is quiet obvious with yours.

@@birdhousegarden I still use hot rollers. I love being able to throw them in and then finish getting ready and letting it get a good set.
Ok on a side note your hair looks GREAT!
Thank you. It’s summer (nearly pushing 100 degrees this week.) I’ll be cutting it a bit more short. Thank you so much for watching.
I love your garden! Does the creeping fig not cling to your wooden privacy fence?
Thank you. I believe it will attach itself to a wooden fence. I think it would compromise it more than the cinder block. Are you talking about where the plumbago is planted?
I have some pink as well as beautiful yellow in small roses!
Your garden is so charming! You guys have done a wonderful job! The before and after pictures are amazing. I love your plant selection, what do you have growing on the back concrete fence? Is it ivy? It looks pretty good. Have a great day!

My hydrangea died. It was in my garden under a shady area. Not certain why it suddenly died.
If you live in central California, it might have needed more water.
Just found your channel! The garden is beautiful. What is the plant on your cedar block wall ? It’s so pretty and green . I’m done 9 b so not sure how it would do here

I have some apple tree starts if you would like some!

Thank you. 😃 I had pull them. Now that the flowerbeds are filling up, I don’t have many weeds.
My dianthus are very healthy thank goodness!
They appear able to take both heat and significant water. All that winter rain might have even helped them. 🤣
