    PS: Just a thought, I hope you don't mind. You have great pieces for the patio... I think if you push the BBQ back a foot or two, then put the smoker beside it, it will read as your grilling area. Then place the bistro set across from the sofa facing each other, it will make a great conversation area. Just a thought.

    You aren't the only one who enjoys watching exterior mow + trim & all kinds of cleanup transformations..
    That back area, out of view, would make glorious beds for all kinds of plants. When you move, you can water, then dig up, pot + carry your most loved perennials, evergreens, etc., to the new place!

    Hi Allison, you've both done a lovely job of your garden.
    Can I also say check your information on the plants ie the hydrangeas you've planted aretoo close together they grow reasonably big and tall. I'd put them at the back of your borders with the wall behind as they will cover other plants. Google is a great friend when it comes to planting.
    Just follow the same principles you use in your lovely home, group things in odd numbers or in symmetry.
    Hope this helps x

    I’m addicted to those grass cutting and cleaning up yards. I think they are relaxing to see the transformation. I thought I was weird too. Glad to hear other people watch them too.😊

    Watching lawn maintenance videos, as well as car detailing videos are my jam. I could do that for hours. I could also watch woodworking videos for hours as well. 😅

    My 14year old son loves doing the lawns i need to upload a video of him doing our backyard. he was 12 at the time and it looked like an adult had done it. He used to love watching videos of pressure washing and lawn mowing

    It helps to mulch the soil in the garden boxes as well. Mulch keeps the soil moist and cool and keeps weeds down. Maybe try using a different shade, like natural cedar, for contrast. You can also add grass clippings to the boxes, which will decompose and enrich the soil. (I also got addicted to those "mowing makeover" vlogs. LOL! The ultimate before and after!)

    The transformation was beautiful and even for your first time ! And you mentioned that most of your viewers are a military family and you’re right I am a military wife ! We are about to get stationed in Yuma Arizona and this video just gave me a perfect idea for our new house . Thank you !!

    Hi Allison - love your new garden space. Thanks muchly for sharing this; I remember asking for this. I hope my tips help. Plants need additional fertilizer and cow manure. The amount of these in garden soil only lasts about a month I think. The fertilizer is best in pellets as when you water, nutrients slowly in the ground. Seasol is a good energy booster. Ancor in the wooden frames so they will stay secure

    You did a great job on the planter boxes. Give yourself some credit. When you put the mulch down it was like putting an great frame on a picture. We always use black mulch after we refresh our gardens. It brings out the colors of our flowers and helps with moisture.

    Hi there! Your garden looks really beautiful. You both worked so hard on it. Just respectfully wanted to give you some advice? IAs someone who has many. Many hydrangeas, they’re going to get big. They get very tall and wide. I’d find a bigger space for them. Also, they are going to need a deeper root system then the box that is pretty shallow. Your garden looks beautiful, but I just wanted to offer that little tip so your hydrangeas will be happier. 💕😊

    When doing the cardboard no dog method you need to make sure they're are no stickers or tape. Those won't decompose as fast.

  • @yeritzamejia5901
    @yeritzamejia5901 2 роки тому +2

    Strawberries are runners, don’t be surprise if they end up taking over the whole bed. Cucumbers and zucchini will do better on a trellis so the bruit can grow away from the ground and reduce the chance of them being eating by ground bugs. Great video otherwise.
    Lastly when watering, water the ground not the leaves, as if they don’t dry well it can promote bacteria grow and kill the leaves.

    • @AllisonMcPhail
      @AllisonMcPhail  2 роки тому

      Thank you for the tips! Good to know about strawberries! Although I don't think I'd be mad if they took over the whole planter as long as they produce fruit!

      You might want to read labels on plants such as shade or sun requirements, size when fully grown, water requirements etc. For example: hydrangeas are usually a shade part sun bush and a daisy is full sun.
