    Your comment, "The land didn't know it was loved", touches my heart. It is exactly how I feel when I have to move to a new place. I encourage and appreciate the land and plants and in return they show me love.
    Thank you, sister of my heart ❤️

    My word - what a night and day difference in the 'before' pictures and how things are now. Thank you so much for sharing those pictures with us! You two put in many hundreds of hours of work. You definitely have a magical garden to relax and enjoy a cup of tea in. It's beyond beautiful.

    This was such an amazing video. I have to tell you, just walking with you through you garden is the MOST relaxed I've felt in months. My husband Ken is making/growing/building/loving his own version of this here in uptight, Upstate New York (NOT the city! We live 8 hours NW of NYC in an area called the Finger Lakes). It's been such a labor of love for him. It has gotten to a place now where folks stop on the side of the road to tslk to him about what he's doing this year and tell him how much they love coming over te hill to see all the flowers herbs and vegetables growing and looking so beautiful. It really is a special place.

    Your dogs are so cute. They stay close to you. Your place looked almost as ugly as mine did over 13 years ago. Yes. It takes years for nature to recover (even if you are trying to help).
    When we lived deeper into the country, mother grew many kinds of flowers, trees, and a big kitchen garden, My Grandfather lived on the much larger farm next to ours. He grew fields of corn, tobacco, hemp, and many kitchen gardens. He had a large fruit tree orchard, bees (and bee hives), and his magical (to me) herb garden. There were also cows, mules, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs, and cats. Both farms were wonderful places to be as a child. With the passing of my grandfather, and later my parents, both farms disappeared. A large Public School building now sits on a good part of what was my grandfather's farm.
    However, I now live in a growing subdivision. My house was the first house built here; and, a full acre of land came with my house (mostly hillside). There was no grass here when I moved in. There was the edge of the woods next to my drive way (a small part of the woods is mine). It has taken me over 13 years to get enough trees established to have a little shade in my front yard, back yard, and on the half acre garden plot (which now has one pear tree and one apple tree doing very well on it). If every tree I planted had lived and grown, I would have a fruit orchard and herb garden there now. I just keep trying. When something that I planted does not live and thrive (I don't buy that again, and try something else). Now that I know my land better, it is time to start building raised gardens. It has to be raised gardens; because, we have flash flooding that washes away top soil and many things; Plus flooding does bring in things that I may not want (like trash, poison ivy, and ground ivy).
    The ground ivy is a beautiful plant. Someone told me that the leaves are used to make tea. Do you grow ground ivy with the round lacy-like leaves, and dark blue/purple flowers? It has a strong smell when walked on or cut. It thrives here, is greener than grass, and is a great ground cover. I think it may be a wild native plant. It grew on both my parents'and grandfather's farms (wild under the shade trees).
