    Hi Linda, hi from Canada....love your garden to bits!! my husband and i watch your videos (many times over) and today we went out and bought 8bags of gravel...sadly we can't seem to find the same colour as what you have but wanted to test out a small place. That's not all, then the day before, we went to the garden centre and picked up a viburnum...lol you see where this is going right??? if only i could have your garden! LOL! Would love to see an aerial view of your property, to understand the layout of the garden...maybe even a sketch! Hugs and love- you're videos are very inspirational and meditative to watch :)

    Linda, I so appreciate your plant wisdom. I live in Lubbock, Texas, a zone 7 area, but with extremes of temps and conditions. I live on an acre+, and 23 years ago planted my gardens with an emphasis on trees to help provide much needed shade. My trees are currently quite large, and I'm trying to transition my gardens to a shadier, easier to maintain space. I love the plants in your pottager blue/green video and thank you for the information.

    Hi Linda. I've been watching you for maybe two months now and I love your channel. Since watching your videos, I've become very interested in topiaries and am waiting for our local garden centers to stock up on spring and summer plants. Another thing I have fallen in love with from your videos is the wire vine (muehlenbeckia) and ordered a 4" potted plant on Etsy. It came yesterday from Florida and is GORGEOUS!!!! I'm going to have it everywhere. I already repotted it and cant wait until it is as large as the one on your outdoor table. Do you have any videos on that particular plant's likes/dislikes? I heard about your channel from Laura on Garden Answer. I currently live in Omaha, Nebraska which is a zone 5b. One last thing ... your house, your garden, your videos are all beautiful. Such a peaceful, serene yard. P.S. I also fell in love with your neighbor's Crepe Myrtles and will definitely be planting some on our new property this year. I've been gardening all my life but not nearly enough. Thanks for the inspiration.

    You indicated many of your plants go in a heated or non heated greenhouse to over winter. Can you expand on what types are ok to stay in the garden. For example, I am a zone 6 where boxwood are very winter hardy; would a boxwood topiary survive do you think?

    Hi Linda, does the birth of LVTV mean that we won't be seeing you here on UA-cam so much?

      Not if I can help it! We plan on still putting up something every day, or nearly every day. LVTV will be far more in-depth, more things outside the garden, ad free and a way we can pay for better quality and more variety of content.
