Wow. Just wow. Mila has grown SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!! She gets cuter by the day. That is so cool she wants to help mommy in the garden. I suspect this could be a major lifelong bonding experience for the two of you, mother - daughter gardening dates. Way to go!!!! Maybe you could also start showing her how to do ASMR as well??? The garden is gonna be great by the time you get done, Maria.
Cute moment at the end there when you said "we're going to go.. (on with our lives)" and Mila heard the first part, and dropped her bike to ask you "Mama, where are you going?" My niece is like that too, always listening and always excited to go, it doesn't matter where lol.
Hey, Maria! About that spot you don’t know what to do with…. Take those 2 trees and use them to hang a hammock. Make it the nice little shaded reading nook of your garden :) my sister has a space like that and even built a little handmade stone path leading to it.
Wow, Mila is truly growing up. So gorgeous like her Momma. Gardening in California is a lot harder as the soil tends to get dry and very compact, which makes it harder to dig. I prefer instead to use pots for growing flowers or plants and just to keep the lawn simple, its a lot easier to manage that way, I find.
In the beautiful documentary Little Big Farm they show how to make hard dry soil into soft nutritious soil where you can grow anything and create safe havens for microbes and wildlife 💕💚
@@OceanBaby813 it’s never too late though! More difficult as an adult, but I’ve been using babble to learn 2 languages and i can be conversational, within a year!
I think it would be neat to put stone on the side of the yard instead of grass or mulch. You could have a water feature of some kind too and potted plants for color. You could have a couple of chairs and a table for Mila since it’s shaded. It could be a relaxing area to have.
I totally agree. Make it low maintenance and low water. Take advantage of the natural shade with a small table and chairs and containers of shade plants.
Marsha try a “lazy gardening tip” on the weeds. Pile your lawn clippings at least 12inches on top along the fence and they will smother the weeds and mulch the area. You can pour your hot water after a boiled jug (for tea) on your problem weeds as well. That way less pulling, especially for the tiny ones. The other ideas of laying pavers is a great idea. Have a look on local Marketplace or similar community sites for freebies. Often people have leftovers. You can do so much with a fence in the sun, that another whole adventure! Vertical garden!
An AMAZING thing to put down in the side yard would be a blend of clovers! It’s so wonderful for pollinators, very soft and lush, super low maintenance, hardy, great for the soil, and one of the most environmentally friendly things you could do! I highly recommend looking into clover lawns!
my mom has the same amount of space on the side of their house and wasn't sure what to do with it. She ended up making it a gnome garden, with tiny figurines and houses. She used different tiny stones to create mini landscapes. Then she ended up adding a little table and chairs for the grandkids to hangout in. It was a cute way to use that space, and it has such a whimsical feel to it.
Yes! I am so here for the gardening content! We also planted gladioli and some freesias, gladioli are popping up already 😍 So delighted you have found your new groove in the garden! We’re all playing catch up and always learning. Lovely to learn with you and Mila! Have a fabulous weekend enjoying it all 💝
So cute how she said большой 🥺 its amazing how kids are able to speak multiple languages at such a young age. Wish you guys all the best! Thanks for the wholesome content, much love.
Wow, it is so awesome that Mila is bilingual. So fun to hear her speak both English & Russian. Go Maria, go! Also she is absolutely adorable. You are a great mom.
Как же здорово было посмотреть такое светлое и доброе видео от вас, Мария 🥰 Как быстро выросла Мила! Так стремительно несётся время… 10 лет с вами пронеслись незаметно. И я так рада видеть, что вы счастливы и у вас все хорошо. Радуюсь как за близкую подругу, хотя мы даже не знакомы. Будьте счастливы ☺️
I know you may never see this, but I'm so glad to see you're still here on UA-cam Maria! I began watching you in late 2011 when I had just turned 11 years old. I remember exactly how it happened too... As a kid, I had pretty bad anxiety from an early age, so much to the point where it would prevent me from falling asleep at night. Watching your videos would always calm me down when I was panicking... they'd put me right to sleep haha! I feel like I've quite literally grown up with you, as I've watched you as a kid, a preteen, a teenager, and now a 21 year old approaching his final year in college. I know you have no idea who I am, but if you are to know anything, I want you to know you've made such a positive impact on my life. I'm so happy to see how you've grown and become so wise. You always try to see the positive outlook on life, and that's truly inspiring. I wish the best to you, Daryl, and Mila, and I can't wait to see what's to come.
Ideas for the backyard: a playground for Mila; build a space with chairs or a bench and a fireplace (to make smores and stuff); you could plant some plants that have very minimum water consumption (idk what it could be, I don't know the first thing about gardening). And yeah, that's what I could come up with 😅
Машенька, здравствуйте! Большое спасибо Вам за то, что Вы выходите " в свет ", одаряя всех своих зрителей любовью, лаской, добротой и заботой, ну и конечно же, красотой сада, Вашей безупречной красотой, и милейшей красотой вашей дочурки Милы. Боже, какая она уже большая, я не помню, когда в последний раз смотрел Ваш влог, в котором Мила была запечатлена, но она такая хорошенькая, милашка, настоящий ангелок, эти нежные щёчки, носик, глазки, так и хочется потискать и обнять её☺☺, Вы так похожи, Вы с мамой, Мила на вас всех вместе, дай Бог, чтобы этот ангел вырос хорошим человеком, боже, она прекрасна! У Вас безумно красивая семья, Машуль!)) Как же это круто, когда Вы говорили со своей дочерью на русском вперемешку с английским, как же это до слёз пронзительно и мило, что Вы не забывайте свои корни и стараетесь их привить ребёнку в хорошем смысле! Маш, спасибо Вам за это огромное и низкий поклон, Вы стали для меня ещё более уважаемы и любимее❤❤❤🥺 Вы безумно счастливая, хорошая, красивая, добрая мама на свете, я уверен, Мила ( боже, это такое красивейшее имя, для настоящих ангелов ) Вас будет благодарить за то, что она имеет русские корни, ну и конечно, за то, что знает уже два языка, она так хорошо и старательно говорит на них, Маш, Вы прям покорили моё сердце и душу, спасибо большое Вам❤❤, даже не знаю почему, ну наверное потому, что Вы такой светлый человек с добрым сердцем)) Пожалуйста, пожалуйста, не пропадайте, занимайтесь любимым делом, пусть оно принесёт вам неискончаемое удовольствие, спокойствие, отдушину, счастье, пусть Ваша семья всегда будет рядом с Вами, а Ваша доброта и любовь к людям наполняет Вас жизнью и желанием жить ❤❤ Мира Вам всем, добра и пусть всё у Вас будет хорошо ❤
Mila is so adorable! She is growing right before our eyes!😃Gardening takes a lot of hard work but with your care and your little helper, I think your garden will turn out lovely! As far as that space goes on the side of your house. I was thinking maybe keep the trees but build a patio or paved walkway, put in a fountain, light up the walkway with little lights for night time, plant some pretty shrubs or bushes, some baby tears, cute little flowers, some mint and lavender, put some knome statues. A little greenhouse or a small table with an umbrella and some outdoor chairs, like a French café style look. The possibilities are endless. Or create a Glass Sunroom!😊
For the little side yard my immediate thought was to clear it out and put down some outdoor flooring, set up a comfy bench/ couch and some chairs (maybe with some potted plants?), and add a gas fireplace between the trees. String up some fairy lights, it would be a super cute and cozy little hang out spot 🥺
I’ve always seen your face in Mila; now I’m starting to notice Daryl’s features in her. She’s growing so beautifully. Thank you for continuing to share your life with us.
Дочка бесконечно милое и непосредственное создание.) Просто отдельный АСМР детское умиление. Сразу настроение улучшается. Как будто маленький лучик солнца.) Да и так выросла! Время конечно летит не заметишь.
I’d put the shed toward the back and do some shade happy plants and a little stepping stone path. Hostas do very well in shade if you want some greenery there. There are some shade happy flowers too, but take care to read which ones are toxic if Mila likes to pick flowers. In my experience, the fabric with mulch on top works for a while, but we still get some weeds that pop through. Depending on what type of grass you have, some grasses can be invasive and encroach into the mulch. The fabric and mulch are definitely a deterrent for weeds. You could go maintenance free and do turf on the side yard. That would save water also. You could also do a flower planting station or work bench or a side yard seating area for shaded reading or tea time with Mila. Your bush may come back with fertilizing and watering. If it was transplanted recently, you should definitely water it very regularly for 3-4 weeks. Transplanted plants (especially larger, established plants) usually go into shock and need a lot of extra care to bring them back. Keep the soil moist, not wet, for 3-4 weeks after transplanting. If it’s super hot and gets a lot of sun, then try to provide it with a little shade during the day if you can.
Mila looks so much like you 😍 Time passes so fast, it seems like a little while ago you were pregnant with her and knitting her a blanket. Bless her, she’s a cutie 🥰
The bit down the side - I always struggled with shady areas until I had kids - shade is brilliant! Playhouse, trampoline, table and chairs and sandpit in the shade for mila. You can pick up stuff like that second hand and free from local groups 🙂
First of all little Mila is beautiful and sweet. Babies grow so fast. Second I don't know what others may think of this idea but I have used cardboard and then put mulch on top. It was underneath my deck so I'm not growing anything. I have no problems...so far. LOL
for the side patch of the house: a fairy garden...a flat stone meandering path front to back then filled in with pebble/stone in the other area's then a few lovely larger planters at the fence.. some wee solar string lights... Mila sized table and chairs for tea parties in the fairy garden :)
Great idea, it looks nice and shady, the path could weAve through the two trees to a small play house at the end. Ferns and shade loving plants flanking the path with fairy lights 👍
Omg, I can't believe Mila is so big already 😭 Feels like just yesterday you were announcing your pregnancy! So happy for your little family and hope you are THRIVING
The side yard has so much potential! Instead of cloth, you could stifle the weeds with cardboard with mulch on top. You could also meadowscape with native wildflowers that shouldn't need much/any water as they're evolved to California's dryness and would provide lush habitat/food for insects and birds. You can also look up xeriscaping (landscaping with reduced water) for ideas on what kind of plants would thrive with little water and maintenance. A rock garden with sedum/succulents would be one pretty option requiring little work long-term.
Great idea. I live in California and I JUST found out about the Theodore Payne foundation. They have an amazing, affordable selection of CA wildflower seeds and are devoted to conserving and promoting CA blooms! The channel Garden Answer did a great video this January where viewers sent in all their “skinny side yards” as inspiration and she shows a bunch of good ones with ideas.
i wish you would do another antique store walk through!!!! the other one you have on this chanel is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever posted!!! so unintentionally tingly 🥰
Поставьте в заброшенном месте гамак или удобную скамью и пару кустиков посадить) мангал ещё можно. А можно заасфальтировать и кататься там на роликах например
Mila has such a fun personality! She must keep you guys laughing all the time! Gardening is a lot of trial and error... But it is so satisfying when you grow something beautiful yourself. Also, the weeding UGHHH, every year I try to figure out a way to not have to spend so much time weeding... It is quite the task.
You and Mila together are just so adorable! 😊 it's cute listening to her little responses to what you're doing and saying. And she is not camera shy haha!
I'm in a mixed zone of 2 and 3 - it's currently minus 12 out and snowing, so watching you, your daughter and your sunny green yard is very dreamy. Blessings to you and your family.
@@susanegley4149 Noo we just finally had our first 80° day in Maryland, if Virginia gets snow y'all can keep it to yourself! lol It feels like it's been winter for like 6 months now
Как же прекрасно, что вы разговариваете на своем родном языке с дочерью! У нас в Дании даже поощряется это, так как тут считается, что только на родном языке мы можем выразить словами всю полноту нашей любви и заботы к детям😍
Мария добрый день, такая у вас дочка хорошенькая, на вас очень сильно похожа , как мне кажется. Видео такое будто я к вам на дачу приехала, и вы мне раскалываете какие вы красивые культуры у себя вырастили. Спокойно так, хорошо, хоть немного отвлеклась от повестки, уже голова болит от новостей и самое плохое что никак не получается это всё не читать и не слушать. Здоровья вам ✌🏻
Get concrete or get decking, create an extra outdoor entertainment area!! Get some comfy furniture, create a "time out" zone, a quiet reading area or something like that! You could add lamps and fairy lights to add some light ♡
Mila is so cute! 💖 We have a similar side of the house patch and ended up putting down weed cloth and put decorative gravel over it! You could put down some walking stones and along the fencing maybe put some chalkboard and buckets of chalk to turn it into a little art area for Mila! Loving the gardening content ❤️
The side yard would be a cool jungle gym/play area! I would say a montessori style play (ideas on Pinterest) it can include a chalkboard wall, sensory bins, even little obstacle courses. It’s a cool way for her to develop her motor skills, and she can grow into a little jungle gym or treehouse too! Idk maybe a fairy she shed? ☺️ I live in an apartment so I’m living my life a bit through you Maria 😂 can’t wait to see what you guys decide to do with it!
I think the “eggs” on the mandarin tree is actually a common pest called scale. You can scrape them off and use any typical insecticide that mentions use for scale. I’m glad you have gardening content! Love it all.
Maybe you could put a little pollinator garden in that side area! Especially if you don't spend much time there- native flowering plants need no maintenance once you get them going! 🌿 It's SO GOOD for the environment... And I'm sure if people saw yours they would be inspired to make their own. It could make a huge difference! 🦋💚
For the shaded area maybe pave that area or make a sand box for your lil girl to play in. Or you can buy a stamp that makes faux stone walk ways. You can get at Lowes. And use quick Crete cement 🙂
Our dear Masha, Thank you so much for this video with you and Mila. It's so happy and uplifting to see how much she's grown and that you are keeping up with her Russian. She is definitely your mini me! You are doing an amazing job in your back garden. For your side yard that is almost always shaded, I would recommend the sturdiest heavy duty lining, and either mulch or any type of stones. It is a great place for a shed. I would love to see more future videos with you, Mila and Darryl doing anything ♥️💖💙
Glad someone understands the weed struggles, we are new to having a yard this year and honestly trying to just figure out how to plant some grass and keep the weeds away. We’re in Florida so if you leave a yard it becomes a jungle really quickly 😆
Omgosh, same here during the rain season, the weeds cover all of our plants. It's a full time job just pulling them out! Lol gardening = weed pulling 95% of the time 😆
Oh wow, Mila has grown so much..so lovely to see her. And so sweet she wants to help mommy. I love these kind of video's ..it reminds me of the times my children were little.. ❤
Oh my goodness you two are so cute. I love this video. I like your idea of a shed in the space between the house and fence. I never realized how much I would love a shed until I got one it's just a 3 sided shed, wide open in the front. It's lovely.
Maria, I love this! I love the rawness of it. So much fun! We just bought our first house and the yard is going to be quite the project, so I’m looking forward to seeing more of the videos! I just showed my husband the weed puller and we’ll be getting one, too!
That shady spot, go for hostas!! They do so well in the shade and they are a super forgiving plant! I absolutely love these videos! Seeing you gardening with mila reminds me of gardening with my mom when I was a little girl 💗🌷
I would put a shed in the sideyard and cover the ground in weed fabric then gravel. Add a small fire pit, furniture set and hang outdoor solar lights on the fence. The perfect spot for reading, playing, and making smore's 🙂 You could add plants in pots as well like ferns and things that appreciate shade.
Koi pond could be awesome in that side space....a little aquatic garden could be really cool. The sounds of the water along with providing the wildlife a place to get a drink may be nice. :) God Bless
Your yard is a dream 😍. I know there is a lot of work you want to do to it, but I just love it! Serene and private. Just beautiful! Also for that side yard, shade fairy garden for Mila! You can plant foxglove, bleeding heart, and hosta. Put little fairy houses (kind of like Annemarie Garden). Also Cardboard works fantastic for weeds. It supresses them and also increases the quality of the soil as they break down. Cardboard covered in compost or soil. Good luck in your gardening! Side note, some of those plants are toxic if ingested so maybe not those exactly. I just named some fairy looking flowers I personally love.
Hi Maria, I have a daughter (already 15!) and in her young years she loved to go on the swing. Bonus on your side yard spot: even on hot days swinging in the shade. A little gardentoolshed might fit for al the outside toys😊
She's gotten so big!!! omg what a beautiful family and blessed mama!! Dandelions are really important food for bees during the first of spring, I recommending leaving them were you can. Native bee especially suffer. As far as that side space goes, you can easily turn it into a little swing area between the trees (and potentially a movie area if you have a projector and itll be especially cool once those trees grow and their far enough apart) or like a little veggie plot, or even better!!! Berry bushes!! Or if you want to get cool and fancy you can get vine/grape plants to grow up the fence so you have a plant wall! Also theres always the option of doing some cacti or zen garden
The brown/orange spots on your mandarin tree might actually be scale. If so you'd need to manually remove them as they have super hard exterior. But maybe there are other ways to tackle them in the yard, I'm only familiar with them on houseplants 🌱
Milas sneeze is amazing! 🥰 that side yard: cardboard and mulch. That’s be a great place to try that. I absolutely love listening to you talk with your daughter. I don’t understand a word of it and it doesn’t matter. Love is love. Wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing that weed tool! Omg! THATS AWESOME! Pulling weeds wearing earrings and a lovely sweater. Worth every penny that tool! 🤩 ooh it’s so good to see you happy at the end. Enjoy that tool! Imma get one. Did you say where you got it?
For your side yard; we put little river rocks and the a few potted shade plants like fern and fuchsia in our shaded yard. Doesn’t need much water and rocks keep weeds at bay. Good luck!
So nice to see Mila again, she has grown so much, this precious little lady! Gardening and nature are some of my great loves too, it's so satisfying. The weather in The Netherlands is completely different from where you live though. I want to wish you all the strength in this difficult time with and for your family in Russia. I hope they are safe... 💜🤗(= Love & Hugs) for 👧🏻(Mila) &👱🏻♀(You).
Have you heard about clover lawns as opposed to grass for ground cover? I don’t know toooo much about it, but I’ve heard it’s very environmentally friendly and pretty much takes care of itself! Just a thought if you’ve never seen it before! Love the gardening content! ☺️❤️
If I'm not mistaken, I remember my grandparents planting their pansies in more of a shaded area so maybe you could put those in that area you are trying to figure out what to do with and put a bunch of them because they don't need a lot of sunlight.
Мария,добрый час! Прекрасное видео.Можете посадить в тот уголок кусты малины,они прекрасно растут в таких местах где влажновато и им не сильно необходим прямой солнечный свет:)
Hi Mila! ☀️ Good job helping outside. So ideas for the side strip -add a sandbox or sand table for Mila -add a hammock between the trees for you! Both nice to have in the shade. Weed sheeting and mulch sounds good, with some good clearance for the trees. BTW I need to get one of those weed pullers!!
Wow. Just wow. Mila has grown SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!! She gets cuter by the day. That is so cool she wants to help mommy in the garden. I suspect this could be a major lifelong bonding experience for the two of you, mother - daughter gardening dates. Way to go!!!! Maybe you could also start showing her how to do ASMR as well??? The garden is gonna be great by the time you get done, Maria.
I think asking for Mila to start ASMR is weird. She's really young still....
I know. I was meaning EVENTUALLY, on the ASMR thing. I forgot to add that part in.
@@axkaxk7762 there is no age limit to ASMR. I could understand if Mila was asked to be in videos but that was never mentioned. ❤️
Cute moment at the end there when you said "we're going to go.. (on with our lives)" and Mila heard the first part, and dropped her bike to ask you "Mama, where are you going?" My niece is like that too, always listening and always excited to go, it doesn't matter where lol.
HAHA! I didn't even realize she said that! xD

If it’s super hot and gets a lot of sun, then try to provide it with a little shade during the day if you can.
Mila looks so much like you 😍 Time passes so fast, it seems like a little while ago you were pregnant with her and knitting her a blanket. Bless her, she’s a cutie 🥰
The bit down the side - I always struggled with shady areas until I had kids - shade is brilliant! Playhouse, trampoline, table and chairs and sandpit in the shade for mila. You can pick up stuff like that second hand and free from local groups 🙂
Nothing more satisfying than, successfully, pulling up a large weed...that will not grow back. A metaphor for life.
First of all little Mila is beautiful and sweet. Babies grow so fast. Second I don't know what others may think of this idea but I have used cardboard and then put mulch on top. It was underneath my deck so I'm not growing anything. I have no problems...so far. LOL
Mila is becoming SUCH a big girl!! And she looks more and more like you! I loved her laugh when she sneezes!!
for the side patch of the house: a fairy garden...a flat stone meandering path front to back then filled in with pebble/stone in the other area's then a few lovely larger planters at the fence.. some wee solar string lights... Mila sized table and chairs for tea parties in the fairy garden :)
Great idea, it looks nice and shady, the path could weAve through the two trees to a small play house at the end. Ferns and shade loving plants flanking the path with fairy lights 👍
@@hitchjack a lovely addition of the playhouse :)
Weed tip: use newspapers as a weed mat. Lay the newspapers down and then put mulch on top. It’s good for the soil 🙂
Omg, I can't believe Mila is so big already 😭 Feels like just yesterday you were announcing your pregnancy! So happy for your little family and hope you are THRIVING
The side yard has so much potential! Instead of cloth, you could stifle the weeds with cardboard with mulch on top. You could also meadowscape with native wildflowers that shouldn't need much/any water as they're evolved to California's dryness and would provide lush habitat/food for insects and birds. You can also look up xeriscaping (landscaping with reduced water) for ideas on what kind of plants would thrive with little water and maintenance. A rock garden with sedum/succulents would be one pretty option requiring little work long-term.
Great idea. I live in California and I JUST found out about the Theodore Payne foundation. They have an amazing, affordable selection of CA wildflower seeds and are devoted to conserving and promoting CA blooms! The channel Garden Answer did a great video this January where viewers sent in all their “skinny side yards” as inspiration and she shows a bunch of good ones with ideas.
i wish you would do another antique store walk through!!!! the other one you have on this chanel is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever posted!!! so unintentionally tingly 🥰
Omg the sound of those wooden chimes gave me tingles! Such a soothing nice sound, not too high pitched like some metal comes can be.
Какая Мила большая стала, смотрю вас, с момента её рождения
Поставьте в заброшенном месте гамак или удобную скамью и пару кустиков посадить) мангал ещё можно. А можно заасфальтировать и кататься там на роликах например
Есть ещё такая вещь - качели-скамейка.
Mila has such a fun personality! She must keep you guys laughing all the time!
Gardening is a lot of trial and error... But it is so satisfying when you grow something beautiful yourself. Also, the weeding UGHHH, every year I try to figure out a way to not have to spend so much time weeding... It is quite the task.
a gardening asmr video would be so cool, I love the sound of the weed puller going into the ground and then pulling out the roots
Oh my goodness that weed pulling tool was so satisfying to watch and listen to! I’ve always loved the feel of pulling weeds.
You and Mila together are just so adorable! 😊 it's cute listening to her little responses to what you're doing and saying. And she is not camera shy haha!
omg Mila the icon 😩🌈
That spot is great for a shed and potting workbench. Milas little personality is so cute. Oh snap! I need that root tool.
My sister named her daughter Mila because she watched you all the time while she was pregnant. She loved the name
I'm in a mixed zone of 2 and 3 - it's currently minus 12 out and snowing, so watching you, your daughter and your sunny green yard is very dreamy. Blessings to you and your family.
Ha! We live in rural Virginia and dream of your snow! 😄 Wanna swap?
@@susanegley4149 Noo we just finally had our first 80° day in Maryland, if Virginia gets snow y'all can keep it to yourself! lol It feels like it's been winter for like 6 months now
Как же прекрасно, что вы разговариваете на своем родном языке с дочерью! У нас в Дании даже поощряется это, так как тут считается, что только на родном языке мы можем выразить словами всю полноту нашей любви и заботы к детям😍
Чушь. Можно выразить "всю полноту нашей любви " и без слов. Кто на что способен, что к этому родному языку прицепились ..
@@Rayoflumineux это Ваша версия. Ее я «чушью» называть не буду, такта хватает😉Я свою высказала.
Holy cow Mila has gotten soooooo big. Her little giggle after sneezing was too cute.
Yes! She has grown so much. She is becoming a little person. Thank you for sharing. You are so lovely. 🌞 Wishing good things for you.
Мария добрый день, такая у вас дочка хорошенькая, на вас очень сильно похожа , как мне кажется. Видео такое будто я к вам на дачу приехала, и вы мне раскалываете какие вы красивые культуры у себя вырастили. Спокойно так, хорошо, хоть немного отвлеклась от повестки, уже голова болит от новостей и самое плохое что никак не получается это всё не читать и не слушать. Здоровья вам ✌🏻
Как приятно на вас смотреть 🙏🏻🌈🌈🌈 желаю удачи в ваших добрых красивых делах! Мария, большое спасибо за Ваше уютное и чудесное творчество 🙏🏻
Мила так выросла, обе такие красавицы! Здоровья и счастья.
Get concrete or get decking, create an extra outdoor entertainment area!! Get some comfy furniture, create a "time out" zone, a quiet reading area or something like that! You could add lamps and fairy lights to add some light ♡
Mila is so cute! 💖 We have a similar side of the house patch and ended up putting down weed cloth and put decorative gravel over it! You could put down some walking stones and along the fencing maybe put some chalkboard and buckets of chalk to turn it into a little art area for Mila!
Loving the gardening content ❤️
I love when you use this bubbly background music. It makes me so happy and peaceful. It’s like your theme song! 💛
"This is the good one mama" 😭😭😭 she's so cute
The side yard would be a cool jungle gym/play area! I would say a montessori style play (ideas on Pinterest) it can include a chalkboard wall, sensory bins, even little obstacle courses. It’s a cool way for her to develop her motor skills, and she can grow into a little jungle gym or treehouse too! Idk maybe a fairy she shed? ☺️ I live in an apartment so I’m living my life a bit through you Maria 😂 can’t wait to see what you guys decide to do with it!
I think the “eggs” on the mandarin tree is actually a common pest called scale. You can scrape them off and use any typical insecticide that mentions use for scale. I’m glad you have gardening content! Love it all.
Your daughter is beautiful and has grown so much, thank you for sharing parts of your life with us! Love your channel and have for years’ now.
Maybe you could put a little pollinator garden in that side area!
Especially if you don't spend much time there- native flowering plants need no maintenance once you get them going! 🌿 It's SO GOOD for the environment... And I'm sure if people saw yours they would be inspired to make their own. It could make a huge difference! 🦋💚
For the shaded area maybe pave that area or make a sand box for your lil girl to play in. Or you can buy a stamp that makes faux stone walk ways. You can get at Lowes. And use quick Crete cement 🙂
Our dear Masha, Thank you so much for this video with you and Mila. It's so happy and uplifting to see how much she's grown and that you are keeping up with her Russian. She is definitely your mini me! You are doing an amazing job in your back garden. For your side yard that is almost always shaded, I would recommend the sturdiest heavy duty lining, and either mulch or any type of stones. It is a great place for a shed. I would love to see more future videos with you, Mila and Darryl doing anything ♥️💖💙
Glad someone understands the weed struggles, we are new to having a yard this year and honestly trying to just figure out how to plant some grass and keep the weeds away. We’re in Florida so if you leave a yard it becomes a jungle really quickly 😆
Omgosh, same here during the rain season, the weeds cover all of our plants. It's a full time job just pulling them out! Lol gardening = weed pulling 95% of the time 😆
@@SassyMashaVlogs Yes! It rains here every day from June-September 🙃 we’ll be out mowing the lawn and pulling weeds every week it feels like
Oh wow, Mila has grown so much..so lovely to see her. And so sweet she wants to help mommy. I love these kind of video's ..it reminds me of the times my children were little.. ❤
mila look so much like u! she’s gotten so big. i remember when u first introduced her to ur channel and she’s just SWOOP so fast. makes me teary
it is very nice to hear Russian from your daughter.❤❤❤👍
Your yard is beautiful! And I too love chimes.
Edit: maybe for the side yard, like a stone path, seating, mulch, and fountain? Shed is a great idea!
The sound of those roots of the dandelions is awesome
Omg! I remember watching your day in the life with a newborn video like it was yesterday! Crazy how quick babies grow!
Dear Masha, thank you for a new vid! You've got a marvelous garden 🏡 Warmest greetings from Moscow 🤗
Oh my goodness you two are so cute. I love this video.
I like your idea of a shed in the space between the house and fence. I never realized how much I would love a shed until I got one it's just a 3 sided shed, wide open in the front. It's lovely.
She has gotten so big! Enjoy, they’re little for such a short time❤️
I could watch an entire video of you removing the weeds! I love it
Maria, I love this! I love the rawness of it. So much fun! We just bought our first house and the yard is going to be quite the project, so I’m looking forward to seeing more of the videos! I just showed my husband the weed puller and we’ll be getting one, too!
That shady spot, go for hostas!! They do so well in the shade and they are a super forgiving plant! I absolutely love these videos! Seeing you gardening with mila reminds me of gardening with my mom when I was a little girl 💗🌷
I want to cry. So proud of you Maria. How beautiful
I got tingles when you was up rooting the weeds . Please do a whole video like thisss
Такое красивое видео, природа, вы с дочкой такие светленькие, милые, улыбающиеся… 🌿🙂 Штука для сорняков крутая)) у меня просто садовая лопатка)
I love the hat, it's very chic! ☀️
Retinol users need double sun protection ☀️so I wear my big hat xD
That white and fuchsia bouganvillea is beautiful!
I would put a shed in the sideyard and cover the ground in weed fabric then gravel. Add a small fire pit, furniture set and hang outdoor solar lights on the fence. The perfect spot for reading, playing, and making smore's 🙂 You could add plants in pots as well like ferns and things that appreciate shade.
Mila grew up so lovely🥰 Sending love from South Korea 💕
Awww Mile is getting so big! She’s beautiful like her mommy. ♥️
Koi pond could be awesome in that side space....a little aquatic garden could be really cool. The sounds of the water along with providing the wildlife a place to get a drink may be nice. :) God Bless
Вы милая и светлая. Добра вам и счастья, Мария. Привет из столицы Германии.
Your yard is a dream 😍. I know there is a lot of work you want to do to it, but I just love it! Serene and private. Just beautiful!
Also for that side yard, shade fairy garden for Mila! You can plant foxglove, bleeding heart, and hosta. Put little fairy houses (kind of like Annemarie Garden). Also Cardboard works fantastic for weeds. It supresses them and also increases the quality of the soil as they break down. Cardboard covered in compost or soil. Good luck in your gardening!
Side note, some of those plants are toxic if ingested so maybe not those exactly. I just named some fairy looking flowers I personally love.
Hi Maria, I have a daughter (already 15!) and in her young years she loved to go on the swing. Bonus on your side yard spot: even on hot days swinging in the shade.
A little gardentoolshed might fit for al the outside toys😊
She's gotten so big!!! omg what a beautiful family and blessed mama!!
Dandelions are really important food for bees during the first of spring, I recommending leaving them were you can. Native bee especially suffer.
As far as that side space goes, you can easily turn it into a little swing area between the trees (and potentially a movie area if you have a projector and itll be especially cool once those trees grow and their far enough apart) or like a little veggie plot, or even better!!! Berry bushes!!
Or if you want to get cool and fancy you can get vine/grape plants to grow up the fence so you have a plant wall!
Also theres always the option of doing some cacti or zen garden
Awwww what a beautiful little girl. She is so grown up 🥰
The brown/orange spots on your mandarin tree might actually be scale. If so you'd need to manually remove them as they have super hard exterior. But maybe there are other ways to tackle them in the yard, I'm only familiar with them on houseplants 🌱
Milas sneeze is amazing! 🥰 that side yard: cardboard and mulch. That’s be a great place to try that. I absolutely love listening to you talk with your daughter. I don’t understand a word of it and it doesn’t matter. Love is love. Wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing that weed tool! Omg! THATS AWESOME! Pulling weeds wearing earrings and a lovely sweater. Worth every penny that tool! 🤩 ooh it’s so good to see you happy at the end. Enjoy that tool! Imma get one. Did you say where you got it?
The tool is from Amazon. Link in the video description
@@radbu1075 🥰🥰🥰 thank you
I enjoy all your videos so much. Thanks for all your effort! Your daughter is adorable. I am sure you're very proud!
For your side yard; we put little river rocks and the a few potted shade plants like fern and fuchsia in our shaded yard. Doesn’t need much water and rocks keep weeds at bay. Good luck!
So nice to see Mila again, she has grown so much, this precious little lady! Gardening and nature are some of my great loves too, it's so satisfying. The weather in The Netherlands is completely different from where you live though. I want to wish you all the strength in this difficult time with and for your family in Russia. I hope they are safe... 💜🤗(= Love & Hugs) for 👧🏻(Mila) &👱🏻♀(You).
Have you heard about clover lawns as opposed to grass for ground cover? I don’t know toooo much about it, but I’ve heard it’s very environmentally friendly and pretty much takes care of itself! Just a thought if you’ve never seen it before! Love the gardening content! ☺️❤️
I just found the best gardening channel with unintentional ASMR - Planted with Ian Cooke. You will love it! And it's full of great information too.
Omgoodness she's so precious. Miss when my niece was this age.
If I'm not mistaken, I remember my grandparents planting their pansies in more of a shaded area so maybe you could put those in that area you are trying to figure out what to do with and put a bunch of them because they don't need a lot of sunlight.
Мария,добрый час! Прекрасное видео.Можете посадить в тот уголок кусты малины,они прекрасно растут в таких местах где влажновато и им не сильно необходим прямой солнечный свет:)
Hi Mila! ☀️ Good job helping outside. So ideas for the side strip -add a sandbox or sand table for Mila -add a hammock between the trees for you! Both nice to have in the shade. Weed sheeting and mulch sounds good, with some good clearance for the trees. BTW I need to get one of those weed pullers!!
Oh my goodness! Baby Mila has grown so much! ♥️
