A Spring Tour of My Private Back Garden
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- My garden is being carefully nurtured for 11 years already. Today I am giving you a tour of this very private space where my family loves to spend time together. Our garden has many strong vertical structures and an unusual handmade wattle fence. Plants are fairly mature and developed. Enjoy! I hope you will get some ideas for your own gardens!

Olga, I love that you feel the foliage of your plants too. When I need a good break in the garden, I tell my kids " I'm going to go pet the plants "
So cute! I am sure you feel relaxed after that. Happy gardening!
I love how you talk about your garden with love and admiration. You are really poetic! You feel as excited about the garden as I do, I am so glad I found your UA-cam channel!
Awww, thank you!
Dear Olga, I loved this video. I'm so glad it popped up on the home page for me. I was absolutely charmed by your attitude and description of your garden. When you spoke about your new pathway (which I need to create somehow) and how you watched your daughter in the morning, my heart nearly burst. How lovely. If I have grandchildren, I hope I can do that too. You also gave me the great Idea of putting sedums in the patio pots. Only today I decided to move them because they are so happy, they are pushing other plant around! And I have a couple of empty pots to fill. I'm looking forward to seeing your flowers in the near future.
Awww, thank you Suzette! I am glad you liked my tour! Wonderful message, thank you!
What a thoroughly delightful half hour visit with you learning about your garden, its history, it's design and its care. The time just flew!! You are truly a garden artist. Is there a word for that?
I am a new follower. What a wonderful treat to take a tour through your beautiful garden. I absolutely enjoyed your passion for your Zen creation. You definitely provided some wonderful ideas. Thank you!!!
Welcome to my channel! I am so glad my video gave you some ideas! Happy gardening!
I love you enthusiasm...you LOVE THE GARDEN...WHERE ELSE CAN WE ABSORB NATURE ans all of it’s splendor...
You have such a lovely way of speaking about your garden. And your branch gazebo is gorgeous 💕
Awww…Thank you!
First time I viewed your video. I love it! You are so creative and full of wonderful energy! Your garden is beautiful! I can tell you have a personal relationship with your plants. Your garden is blessed!
Awesome, wonderful message! Welcome to my channel! Smiles.
Olga, you couldn't be more adorable. I love your tour and now am a new subscriber. Thanks for the joyful gardening.
Awww, thank you! So lovely of you!
me too!
My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Awesome... Full watched. Thanks Have a happy day!
Your creativity really shows in your beautiful garden sanctuary. A peaceful place.
New subscriber from south Florida because I love your beautiful accent
Welcome!! You love my Ukrainian accent! thank you!
I appreciate that you let us see your garden. I especially like the unique things you have made such as the branches that you used to make a pergola, and the really good idea of making a woven fence of branches. It does fit in with the natural look of the garden. What a really good idea for covering the chain link fence. I think the yew has become really beautiful. I've never seen one in a smaller garden that wasn't trimmed. It's lovely. The little boxwood plants add a nice touch as borders. Love your roses. I'm just getting in to roses. So thank you for your kind tour!
You are so welcome and thank you for your thoughtful message! Oh, get into roses and be totally smitten by them!
Love your garden tour you tell a story which makes it so enjoyable!👍❤️
Thank you as always, Cathy! Have a great weekend!
Much joy from viewing this video, thank you so much!
Awww, you are welcome!
Truly wonderful....
I have my coffee cup in hand and feel like I just took a morning walk with you though your beautiful garden. I fully understand how your daughter would enjoy her walk about. Thank you for the tour!
You are welcome! I have my morning cup as well! Have a lovely day!
What a beautiful space... so peaceful and inviting!
Thank you! 😊
Good morning beautiful Olga!
Everything is so healthy and happy!
The pink azalea is now the most beautiful! Vauuuu!
Kiss the rabbit! Thanks a lot, dear Olga!
Rabbit says hi to Grateful Heart! Hugs and love!
Your garden is so beautiful and peaceful, thank you!
I love your Garden so comfortable. I could see you having your tea sitting on the couch you have done a lot of work beautiful. Love to family 🙏
Thank you! Love to you all!
Like it? I love it❤
Beautiful tour! Love your garden and useful tips.
It's enjoyable watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Greetings Olga, your description of your daughter and her early morning walks whilst would indeed make your heart burst with happiness, sweet memories for you and her ... .... you remind me a little of Elizabeth in her German Garden! In the nicest possible way!
The cloud effect on the back hedge certainly has visual interest ... garden is full of visual interest. Love the Arborvitaes. The height interest you create has lead me to think about an equivalent. Thuja Smaragd is the species available for us here.
Victoria, Australia.
Thank you so much ! oops, edit out "whilst" from above paragraph
Greetings, Victoria! I was out of town for the weekend and didn't want to get involved with my computer. I am glad you enjoyed this video, I am going to watch it during the cold days of winter and drool over all the greenery, I am sure! Enjoy your garden in Australia!
Olga, you offer great information about gardening in your videos and you present with such grace and poise, I can’t help wondering what you do for a living. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself. I garden in zone 8 in South Carolina. Thanks for wonderful gardening advice.
Hi Judy, thank you for your message. Funny, I probably will create a video: who is Olga Carmody. Thanks!
I love all the fresh green color in your garden.
Thank you. love your garden and the fence idea. Very clever and natural looking. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it
New subscriber here , I love the way you enjoy your garden
Thanks and welcome! It is good to have you here!
I love your. Garden I have learned so much of your videos 💚💚💚
I'm so glad! Thank you
Absolutely stunning! I love all your greenery. I wish I had more. I'm new to gardening really, so I will enjoy learning from you. I'm also learning about roses as I bought many David Austin roses last year. One of which is the generous gardener. It has 2 main canes only and I cut one by mistake 😳. But the laterals this rose puts out are huge! It's so hard to train on a wall. I think an arch would have been easier, but I will persevere. (even though its too big for me to manage as a beginner haha)
Hi Davena, the Generous Gardener is a big climber with stiff stems. A must is to train those canes young while they are still burgundy. I have my other GG growing on a fence and I just cut everything what is growing in the wrong direction. Plant produces new shoots and if they are right, I keep them. I know it is a tough business to cut fresh new growth away, but this way you can train your stiff climber on the wall.
@@OlgaCarmody I definitely need to learn for this rose. Its caused me a headache this year haha. I did watch your GG video where you are training it on your fence. It's going ro look fantastic. I can't wait for an update on all your roses next year. X
Nice idea to cover the fence I have wisteria Vine that I am always throwing away now I can use it
I love the garden, so beautiful! ❤️
Thank you, I am glad to share it with everyone!
I have an azalea that’s over 20 yrs. They become very leggy if they are not pruned back regularly. I hard learned that the hard way. So I just tree formed it. Love the look of it now. Wish I could attach a pic.
Agree, people don’t really realize that azaleas respond so well to pruning! If you can, could you send a picture of your azalea in tree form to my email: gardeningwitholga@gmail.com? I can feature it in my future talk about azaleas… Thanks
I hit upon your channel today and loved your garden tour and also your peppiness !! ❤
Thank you! Welcome to my channel! It is good to have you here!
Beautiful garden and love your gardens techniques so natural
The way she opened this video felt like a refreshing deep-breathing hug.
Wow, that is beautiful!
It’s weird that I used to live in Michigan and I had a little tiny garden all of my plants were very very green and I moved back to Texas and my plants don’t get very very green as up north and the rain nothing no rain here anyways maybe because it’s too hot and humidity but you guys are lucky because you guys get very beautiful colors and your plants don’t get fried like ours love ur garden as always🌹😊
Yes, we are having great prolonged rains this season and weather is not very hot. Well, it is today. Happy to share my garden with everyone! Enjoy!
Olga you have a gorgeous property.
Love your gardens, I live in the same General zone as you (in RI) and enjoy seeing how your garden is doing relative to mine. I really enjoy your how to videos and am going to try to plant some roses soon, inspired by your success. Thanks for the videos and I really enjoy your enthusiasm for gardening.
Wonderful! Glad my videos are helpful! Enjoy your garden.
Hi Olga, thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us.
I have been gardening for nearly 40 years now and like you love nature. I have been using sticks around my gardens for years. I love making trellises and arbors with them, and also use them to hold up my tall flowers. What zone do you live in? I am zone 4 and would love to have boxwoods, but it is too cold here for many of them. I’ll have to do my research…
Thanks again
The azalea is so beautiful !! I love your garden!!! 💕💕
Thank you! 😊
Just beautiful 💗
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful garden, thanks for sharing!! You are amazing!!
Thank you so much!
Another lovely video Olga. Such a relaxing and peaceful piece of heaven that your garden is turning out to be. Can't wait for all your new D.A roses to reach their mature sizes. Just lovely! Incidentally, I have had to install a temporary trellis for my potted Huntington Rose. The blooms are gorgeous but are prone to flop in the rain😭 (also its only a year old. I'll have to post a video of my roses one of these days on my channel as well. Much love and as always, God Bless!😊🕊
Thank you for a lovely message. God bless you too!
Beautiful garden!Love the tour
Thank you!
Love the waddle fencing!
So beautiful and well thought out. I'm going to start tying my branches to my fence. In the west we call them coyote fence and place the poles vertically.
Interesting how same things have different names with different people... Happy gardening in the west!
Thank you so much for this video. You’re garden is so beautiful and such an inspiration. I have a garden with similar dimensions to yours and have struggled with the lack of depth to it. Think I’ll be borrowing some of your ideas!
Great, we all should enjoy our gardens and I am glad that my channel can inspire people.
Such a lovely space!
Hello 👋 your gardens are beautiful ♥️
Thank you so much 😊
Maybe another option for your six hills giant is being chelsea chopped, it,s a typical procedure for plants that flop over or outcompete other plants
I should, give his a nice chop! Thanks for suggesting it. Happy gardening!
Dzień dobry Olga 🥰 piękny ogród i tak zielono .Serdecznie pozdrawiam i życzę słonecznych i ciepłych dni 🌞🥰🥀
Thank you, Jolanta! You have a lovely day as well!
Lovely garden Olga! I need to borrow some of your creativity.
Please do! Smile!
Thank you for sharing your garden with me. I just love how it’s all coming together and growing so nicely! I love to garden and I also make garden videos. I in my 3rd year gardening. I have so much to still learn. I’d love it if we could learn more from each other! Happy gardening 👨🌾 🌷🌼🌻🌺🌸🌹🐝
Happy gardening to you too!
Olga, Thank you for sharing your wonderful garden with us, it is a true inspiration !
Thank you, thank you!
🌿 ~Just beautiful Olga! Your little garden is set up so well! ~An absolute sanctuary! 🌷 - Gardener in PA 🏡
Thank you! Hugs and love
Nice!
Beautiful, Natural, and so peaceful. No wonder the town of Stratford Connecticut gave you the Beautification Award! Love it all, thank you for sharing and God Bless You :) PS: Although subscribed with notifications set for "All" I'm still not getting them on the computer for some reason. But we never miss you on our TV through UA-cam where they give us your newest ones since the subscription shows there as well. It comes and goes on the computer. Maybe that's why but not sure.
You remember my award! Wow, it was long ago I mentioned it! Thank you for watching! Lovely day to you both!
Оля, wattle єто вотел, ну а сад просто душевно красиво. Я тоже сделала навес со стенами плетенью
Hello Olga! Thank you very much for giving us a tour in your garden. It looks amazing, lush green, and relaxing! I have learned a lot from your videos. Can I ask you something? In one of your videos you mentioned that you've ordered A Shropshire Lad rose. Did you received it? I already planted mine and can't wait to see the first blooms. 😊
Thank you, Nadia. I did receive 2 Shropshire Lads and planted at th3 front of my house, that’s why you didn’t see it in my back garden tour. They arrived very late, probably spent many days in cold storage. I planted them right away and waited good 2 weeks for them to wake up. So, long recovery for them this season. How are yours doing?
That's awesome Olga! Mine is little behind as well. I'm in zone 5 so I've got my roses delivered in mid April. I think a bunny might have munch my Shropshire Lad a little bit. I put chicken wire barrier similar to yours and now the rose really seems to be ready to take off. I can't wait to see the first bloom. :D
I just came across your channel and love your garden. I am from the US may I aak where you are from?
I am Ukrainian and I am living in Coastal Connecticut US!
Your azalea is just gorgeous! The entire garden is lush and green. You mentioned in the video that it's good to cut back an older rose to give it new energy and life. I wonder what you would think about cutting a climbing rose (that has been very neglected) all the way to the ground next early spring?
Hm, what I would think… You will not kill your rose, but I would choose the youngest, greenest stems (several of them) and leave them. The rest I would cut out. The reason is , you want to enjoy some presence from your rose that season. Since your rose will not need to support all that unproductive wood, it will burst with energy and will give you wonderful blooms. And if you decide to cut your rose all the way to the ground, you will get long green stems which might not flower that season.
@@OlgaCarmody Olga, thank you for your thoughtful comment. I very much respect your advice. I'll give it a try!
Olga, your garden is so beautiful! I planted my sedums in pots last year after watching your video I have voles they like to snack with their roots. My sedums grew so fast this year became leggy and separated in the middle and i see yours are nice and bushy. I used liquid fertilizer which I should cut back for now. Do you have a secret how to grow sedums in pots, how often you divide them?
You know, last year I used granular slow release fertilizer Osmocote. My sedums got such strong stems, I couldn’t believe it. I used it maybe 2 times during summer… Try that. My other sedums didn’t like being fertilized, so far only this one. Good luck with your sedums!
Don’t fertilize or overwater the sedum and see if that helps
I heard from professional gardeners that Sedum doesn’t like to be fertilized. I never fertilize mine ,keep them on the sunny dry side, and they doing just great.
I love that fence so much. We have a chain link I'd like to camouflage as well. I can't make out what you call this, I'd like to know how it's done.
It is a wattle fence and is quite popular in my country. Although it is used for cattle and such. I used it to separate my garden from my neighbors. I have a video how I was repairing it. Happy day!
@@OlgaCarmody Found your other video 😁 thank you!😊 Let the stick collecting begin.
@@emptynestgardens9057Haha, it is contagious, be careful!
Olga~ Hey. thanks- gorgeou spicture~see you on my side~
Thank you
Hi Olga I just found you on UA-cam. Where are you located?
I live in zone 6/7, coastal Connecticut, US.
I wanted to ask you does it happened sometimes to your roses is that A button forms but it doesn’t get to open just like if it got burned by the sun. Well that’s what’s happening to my roses a button forms it doesn’t get to open but I move the pedals from the very top little white sort of mosquito kind come out and then it finally gives a chance to open the bloom I am thinking it’s sort of like a fungus because the little white mosquito come out as soon as I move the first layer . Would you know by any chance with those little white things can be and if it’s a fungus and what do you recommend???
There can be several reasons why rose bud doesn’t open. Look into rose botrytis. Also, roses with very full flowers with many petals will refuse to open when they get very wet and dry fast under strong sun. Hope it helps.
What is the name of a white flowering shrub beside your bench?
It is white azalea
❤️👌👍🌸🙏🌺☺️❤️
How did you make the fence? Also the stone walkway
I should make a video about my stone and stick adventures in the garden. Will do. Thank you
Чувствую русский акцент 😃😉🙃
I am Ukrainian. Слава Україні!
This is the first time that I have watched your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden. I live in subtropical Qld, Australia. It is always a privilege to be taken on a tour of somebody else’s garden. 🌻🪴🌳🌷🌲
