    Mike, you are the Willy Wonka of gardening!! I thought this project was perfect but adding that cozy corner with all the beautiful chartreuse color and that stunning wisteria branch has taken it to another level. The wreath around the door, the lanterns , the fence and that adorable wheel barrow. I am excited to see how this area will evolve over the summer. Thank you for always bringing magic and whimsy in all your videos and sparking our imaginations as well.

    This section of the garden is incredibly enchanting.

    I wanted to say the area, this particular area kind of reminds me of the forest where the dwarfs lived in the movie 'Snow White And The Huntsman ' I think it is very cool to use your imagination. At 72 I use my imagination and my creativity more than ever. Great fun garden🌴🌺🥰

    When I limbed up my lilac bushes to look more like trees, I kept the branches and twigs and placed them into a tall ornate plastic container in between my lilacs. It was statuesque and offered a lovely focal point to a little garden. So I love the wisteria branch idea as a natural statue.

    Mama is always right, Mr Moxie. That building front is adorable. What a beautiful creative space. Gardening is never complete it always changes and evolves. Good on you for not rushing through a project I always say enjoy the process. You are right on in designing destinations in your garden. See you next time have a blessed day.

    Hi Mike still pulling my jaw off the floor "where's Frodo?"you created a story in this area It gives a forest feel little solor lights would look perfect in the laterns.Those round pots i thought were like older rustic and when you pulled them up i was like wow😂Every detail brought this scene together beautifully the wreath adds depth to the door it draws you in.Always artistic with your design your garden really deserves to be in a magazine! Have a good day to you and Jesse 🕊️💚🇺🇲

    The little fence could possibly use a couple of woven sapling in and out of the posts,i think its called wattle.Also perhaps a back plate off your door knob.Keep it up!Looks amazing

    If a woman has a husband that gets into gardening, she's a lucky woman 😊❤ This is a lovely garden and yes, it is like a little fairytale land. My neighbor has added such beautiful lights all around her garden. I drove by tonight and noticed all of the work she had done. It is so beautiful at night!! It literally looks like fairy land!! ❤

    Hi Mike, just wanted to tell you how much you inspire me to make my garden into something more. Your newest creation with the planters etc., that area is worthy of having a display at one of those flower shows . It is outstanding!!!! Thank you for sharing your "how to" information.

    I put solar twinkle lights all bunched into my red lantern at Christmas. Works great. You probably could attach this ball of lights so that you wouldn’t even know your lantern is missing the glass. Very nice fun vignette. Very creative.

    You absolutely amaze me! Each of your projects keeps getting better and better. I loved this video and was oohing and ahhing while you raised the three planter bowls and added the railroad ties in the back and the beautiful wood sculptures. The rocks and lanterns added so much too. Your yard is a magical haven that must be wonderful to spend time in. When you show the still shots of the finished projects, I can't believe just eight years ago it was just a boring backyard with grass and a few trees and now it looks like this.

    I love the free-style approach, plop it down , wiggle it in , fill it up. You do plant very abundantly and you always have a finishing touch. The fence is fine but not necessary to the design.

  • @chelseajones4141
    @chelseajones4141 5 місяців тому +2

    From a first-time watcher, and long-time gardener/horticulturist- it's a lovely design. I really enjoy the lovely color palette and the draw of the "rooms". If you want a low-risk veggie to try, throw in some lettuce seed before and after your sweet potato season. They can take the filtered light, make beautiful, edible foliage plants you can munch on, gift to friends, and are easy for chop and drop composting.

    The grapevine wreath reminds me of a heart we created for our wedding. We kept that heart for like twenty something years as a house decoration before finally letting it go. Been married now for 32 years. I wish I would have thought to use it in the garden! What creativity u have!

  • @JerryPaschall-ts2kx
    @JerryPaschall-ts2kx 5 місяців тому +2

    Very cool! Your updates added the concept of an older, more mature garden. I love the ladder addition (maybe add one or two rusty paint cans with a colorful tall plant and maybe some vining ivy cascading down the rungs from the can)…. This corner would be very cool at night with so many lighting possibilities. A couple thoughts, the obvious is light the lanterns with simulated flame bulbs. Maybe a soft spot light on the sun. String of lights across the tops of the fence posts. Small ferry type lights weaved through the dead tree trunk in the center planter…. It’s amazing how the creative part of the brain gets stimulated with so many ideas in such a small space (one corner) of a garden. Thank you for sharing one of your gardens corners..
