      @melodykaufer5696 3 місяці тому

      I would love to try this bean, I hope it makes a rebound, and is recognized as a great veg addition to gardeners everywhere. Thank you Bob for getting it back to Italy and US.
      Also loved the history and gorgeous wine vat pond, So beautiful , as is the rest of his garden. Janey, you need an avocado tree. A bottle brush tree. And a recycling pond.
      You might have to do a redesign for all the new things, ideas, I'm sure your dear friend wouldn't mind. 😊

  • @gardenscape-NCal
    @gardenscape-NCal 3 місяці тому

    The bean story is the best part of this video. It is so sad we are losing our plant history with the old folks, and the new generation does not see the value in continuing these rare seeds and plants.

    I love 💕 his garden, and like how he’s incorporated rocks into the landscaping too. So colorful. He’s an ex-City Manager, so he’s so well versed in a lot of different aspects of running a City. You can tell how knowledge he is, and how enthusiastic he is about talking to you about his garden. Thanks for sharing! ❤❤😊

    W😮W! Times 100! Bob's Garden is as you said Janey ... Inspiring.. and Awesome! So much in that space, possible by pruning up to keep their sizes manageable. L❤ove his pondless falls, Im putting one in at the side of my patio. We had Bottlebrush bushes in my childhood yard and throughout the whole neighborhoods in SoCal. I plant Impatiens every year, love their color and effortless blooms. Methinks your Garden Tour Sundays will be a huge hit, and Bob's fab place is definitely a hit🎉. Thank you...

    Hi Janey
    What a spectacular garden tour fell in love with Bob's Gardens my goodness, gardening is good for the soul my aunt was 101 when she passed she was always in her garden she grew everything never went to the grocery store to buy, she'd walked out to her garden and picked what she need for the day. This tour brought back lots of memories, thank you Janie and Bob for sharing this amazing Garden. Have an awesome rest of the day.

    This man is sooo interesting! What a history and life he has, and to save those beans and re-introduce them to Italy! Janey, did you realize the avocado tree is an espalier? You need to show Robbie! From his wine barrel pond to the beautiful stone fountains, the wide variety of beautifully shaped and sized trees throughout both front and back gardens, it's just breathtaking everywhere you turned with the camera. Your Sunday garden series is beyond wonderful and gives us so many ideas that we never would dream of ourselves. thank you so much!

    @johnbailey5133 7 місяців тому

    Oh my goodness, what a treat! I enjoyed Bob’s garden so very much; one of my favorite garden tours ever. It’s hard to believe he is 84! I would have thought he was in his 50’s at the most. He has the best smile and is such an inspiration, both with his garden and his healthy lifestyle. I could listen to him talk for hours; what an ancestry he has!
    I would love to see another tour(s) of his garden as seasons change. Please give him a huge thank you from me! Mary in 8a
