    Good morning Colette and Jack🖐 Lovely to see you both and the beautiful gardens. Sympathies re: the sticky door. Our front wooden door is exactly the same and South facing. Damp UK climate and brilliant sunshine is the reason for it I think. Swells and contracts depending on the weather. All looks lovely. I think I need a coffee now. 💓 xx

    I see around 10:26 minutes a beautiful sculptural silvery plant. What is it's name? It looks like it has a spent catkin-type thing at the top and what might be 2 big seed pods. Absolutely gorgeuos! I wonder if it'd grow in the eastern US? Please tell me what you know about it. Love your videos - just found them. Many thanks.

    Hi Colette
    You must watch Judi Dench's "My Passion For Trees" it's a documentary on trees and how they speak to one another it's really an amazing program. It is truly a great watch.
    Sending you many Blessings Peace Love and Happiness from Denver Colorado

    you have so much to look at in your garden, I love that, I have a garden too, but I have not got rid of all my lawn yet, after 8 year, it cost a lot to get it as you like, time, money and a lot of work. Money is often stopping the prosess. But, I take little at the time. A very humid and warm garden you have, and the houses are small and lovely painted. My place I hve called the Oases!! Thumbs up from Norway. :-)

    I do so love mushrooms, my favorite ones are morel mushrooms. The season is so very short for them, just a few weeks depending on the rain. They are divine deep fried! I hope to find a few pounds of them this season. I love the sound of the gravel underneath your feet when u make the paths. I hope u and Jack have a wonderful blessed day.

    Great steps looks like they have been there forever. They look so natural mossy and green.

    ROCKS! She is the mother of my only grand-daughter (Nona almost 3).

    Beautiful! So peaceful. I too have a woodland garden. It’s July first and it’s transformed into a lushly green landscape. I have a couple plants that are vines and home to swallowtail and gulf Fritillaries butterflies. I just let them from throughout the season. Then I’ll have them cut down. They will come back next spring. I have a dog named Jack too. He’s a pitsky. He looks more husky. He’s the sweetest boy. Loved your walk around.
