Beeeeeeeeuteeeeeful!!!!! You are blessed also to have a husband who is so helpful.
Yes I am💕
She sure is!!!
You are going to need to thin your morning glorys. Keep them in a pot or they will take over. Very invasive. Also my favorite. Prettiest blue ever.
Beautiful! Your talent knows no bounds!
I’m lying in a hospital bed with a broken femur so tending to my flower and vegetable beds will become my husband’s job now. Makes me sad. He enjoys it as well though. My leg broke completely in two before my husband caught me mid-fall. Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. After surgery Saturday afternoon I’ll be here two to three more weeks for physical therapy. I still can’t believe this happened. How quickly things can change.
Anyway this video was such a joy to watch. You are an amazing woman!
Oh my goodness.. praying for you. So sorry to hear that. Take time to heal.
So glad you can relay on your hubby❤🙏
It’s going to be great! All the rock to help with all the weeds that may find a way, easy pulling. Beautiful job! Simple and stylish! Love your old rusty crusty!❤🌸🌺 lovely with the solar lights on!
We love the same things my friend...I call my gardening style rusty, crusty junk gardening. We love old small equipment pieces, old wheelbarrows, chicken feeders, buckets, birdhouses, milk cans, fence pieces, etc. Your new spot is just beautiful. Love the solar lights too!! ❤
Your plants are so colorful and your containers really set them apart and make your walk to the studio very nice and pleasing ❣️❣️❣️
Thanks so much 😊
These are my favorite videos of yours! I love the flips, but!! The organic, eclectic way you put things together outside is even more beautiful to me than what you do inside❤️❤️…well, except maybe at Christmas.lol. This is exactly what I would do if I had space like this. But my hubby prefers “well manicured” look of the tried and true shrubs and such. And, he’s the one that has to keep stuff alive.🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Good morning from Ireland 🇮🇪,wow love the transformation in your garden 💕what a beautiful space to have to look at when you’re on your way to work in your studio . Myself and my husband love our garden it makes us feel well and while it’s been hard work for the past 38 years or so we have tried to make it easier to maintain over the past few years- as we’re in our sixties now and don’t have the same energy . It has been my place of healing for many years now . Happy gardening 👩🌾.💚☘️
I am living this! After they closed our jail and after 20 years I was unemployed I finally had time to plant roses and some other low maintenance flowers, 8 years after moving in! A LONG time ago, much younger, I cared for 250 roses and my lily lane, butterfly bushes, lilacs etc…. I love my simple look now, I’m 55 😂 we added salt and pepper rock to our beds, used a truck and wheelbarrow….. 😮💨 it’s absolute perfection Chris & Yvonne! The nod to GCR ❤
*Your side garden is colorful and a feast for the eyes as you enter your studio. Now you have a pretty backdrop for your rusty crusty treasures❣️🌼🌿💐*
Oh.. I feel you.. I miss the colors at our old home.
But agreed… we need easier maintenance gardens now. ❤️
That new area should make your day brighter, every day! And nights, with those solar lights. Love it all: The colorful flowers and "stuff". 🎉❤
Love everything but the solar lights make it everything special ❤❤❤
I love how this flower bed turned out. Great job guys’
What a fun area to display all your collectables! The flowers you chose are gorgeous! So glad you shared this with us! Don’t forget flowers in the outhouse window planter…LoL!
Thank you, I will
I love how your flower bed turned out. Beautiful and all your rusty crusty adds so much interest.
This was very enjoyable to watch as it all came together! Flowers in the daytime and solar lights at night always add joy to ☀️ spring and summer! And Tator😅😂 😆 Lol...so silly!
"A hose" hahaha...it's always fun to see you and Chris working together but my favorite Chris moment is still him wrapping Christmas presents in his unique ASMR way 🥰🥰🥰 Are you going to put a KEEP OUT sign on the outhouse?
Every thing looks so good!! I’m not much of a gardener it is too hot here and you need to water twice a day and so every thing dies by mid-July because I don’t stick to my watering schedule!! I love to look at them in full bloom but now we have a dog that digs every single thing up that I plant so I’ll keep my 3 hydrangeas and 2 azaleas and 1 knock out rose bush they make me the happiest at 71 it’s hard to get on my hands and knees weeding! Yours looks absolutely beautiful!!
I love my flowers. They make me happy
How fun and pretty for all that work!
Your junk garden turned out great. I really like the edging that Chris made.
I LOVED the intro!...Made me laugh🤣😂🤣 Your flowers and rusty crusty decoration looks amazing along side the shed. JUST BEAUTIFUL! Tater was comical 😂
Thanks so much! 😊
I love it Yvonne and Chris:). Please show us the mourning glories once they start climbing:). Awesome job. I hope your feeling better:)🙏🩷🌸
Well that was a whole lot of fun!! In case you wanted to know, coffee filters over drainage holes in containers keeps the soil in and lets the excess water out. Keep the outdoor projects coming please!! Thanx
Thanks for the tips!
I use coffee filters as well.
I had to watch the opening 3 times Yvonne…how real does it get my Hunny says!!! You are gonna be morning gloried for sure if you don’t do a bit of thinning. As you were seeding them all I could think was rats nest and tangled if they all germinate and germinate they did. All your yard treasures are gonna make you want more gardens as time goes on. We just have a need for beauty in our lives and gardening certainly does that for us, Fillers, thrillers and spillers is my mantra for container gardens and those heliotrope are not going to disappoint as a thriller. I try to grow some every year and I try to put them with sweet Williams for a real color blast until the sweet William are done for the season. Thanks for sharing this and for a glimpse of Tater and Peach. What a nice visit!!!:):):)
Well Chris thought I needed more seeds 😂 yes that sure did take off.. so glad you enjoyed the opening 💕
Good morning beautiful peeps! I just love watching you two ! Living your life to fullest
Some antique cowboy boots 👢in the outhouse would add a cute, funny touch! Awesome video as usual!! ❤
I just love this! You guys are so talented!!🩵🌺
Gosh I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cooler garden ., all of my gardens are bordered with a truck load of small boulders to keep it a little more natural and wild
Oh.. that’s exactly how our old home was lots of field stones. But we wanted a bit of a change of for this home.
I remember those plants that go to sleep when you touch them. I haven’t seen since childhood! Don’t even notice the name!😊 Oh I LOVE your new solar lights!❤ The chicken feeder came out gorgeous!🎉Those petunias are such a strange and lovely color!😊 Oh and the door looks fabulous!😊 Thanks for sharing! It’s beautiful!❤
Thank you
The garden is delightful! Love all your rusty crusty yard art! Chris us so helpful with all your projects. Stay well. 🤗
Amazing!!!❤❤❤ For your tomatoe plants, plant Marigolds!! Called Companion Planting!! Keeps pests away!! I would not do cucumbers with them!! Very viney like a watermelon or pumpkin!! Need a lot of space!! Cypress vine grows great with morning glories as well as moon flower. Creeping Jenny is a spreading green plant for base of other plants-gives protection like mulch does!! So Happy to see your Butterflies & outhouse especially!!❤❤❤
Wonderfully delightful!! Love all your treasures and how you arranged them and love your flower choices. Can't wait to see the morning glories climbing and blooming! Love it all!!! ❤
Thank you so much!
Love junk gardening 🌸
So pretty seeing all of it come together. Using the outside primitive finds and some plants too, really a huge transformation!
I'm so glad you used a physical barrier rather than continuing to try Round-Up. I would fear for your kitties' health -- and also the bees and butterflies.
Wow- I love everything! Didn’t realize the white stone had the GCR on it until you zoomed in, what a nice touch.
Our kids did that for us❤
Everything looks beautiful. Love the color combo in the chicken feeder.
How fun is that flower bed??? So fun! Using all the things we love so much! Show us a peak later when those morning glories climb! 😊
Everything came out so beautiful. All the rusty crusty things are perfect where you put them. You are so talented at just everything you touch.. The touch of Midas. Instead of gold you got talent. Thank you for sharing all the details you create
Thank you so much!
I love junk gardening and I love what you have done. Great job!
Oh so beautiful. Love every rusty crusty object n all those pretty flowers. So blessed you are that Chris loves to get involved n put a happy face on you. I really miss my hubby when it comes to get involve with my projects. But I know he’s looking down a pond me saying, well done Michelle n you did it without me.
I love how you designed every inch of that area. It’s not overly crowded. Right amount of flowers n your treasures.
Soooo perfectly perfect! ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟🐈⬛🐈⬛
This section is so crazy fabulous. I love your ideas and flower containers. Chicken feeder is wow! I found a new favorite flower! The green n purple one in the two pots next to the windmill. What was that? Petunias? Never seen that color combo in that flower.❤. Tater has gotten so big and great to catch sighting of Peaches. Your yard will end up being a traffic issue 😂😂. People will be coming by just to see what else you add. Love it.😊❤
A variation of petunias. That’s why I love the mom and pop small business green houses, they seem to have unique varieties of flowers.
@@GingerChickRehabTheJourney we basically have the same ole stuff. We have sort peace Lily, that’s it.
Oh how I wish I had your ambition!!!! Looks great!!
Oh! I thought you were going to dig up the grass! I'm so interested to see how it looks next year! My 92 yo mom took out the plants in one flower bed and covered it all with pink rock. I live several hours away and she cant keep it up anymore but the rock is gorgeous! I love your antique crusty garden! INCREDIBLE! Your vision is spot on as usual!
Good job Chris and Yvonne. Really cozied up the area and glad it's matenance free.
Thank you
Yvonne great choices! It will be something that brings you joy every time you walk by💕💕💕
What a wonderful flower garden you’ve created ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the old with the new👍
Dewitt landscape fabric is the best!!!! We’ve had this fabric in our landscape for several years now and it’s still good. You need to cut this landscape fabric with a small little torch.
I did a small space in front of my house with rocks no weed barrer and iv had good luck. You're looks great.
Love hearing that❤
I so enjoyed this episode. I love your choice of flowers. The old chicken feeder has my heart. I hope the weed blocking cloth and the edging work out for you. I love all your auction finds and the solar lights. Maybe you could plant flowers in the outhouse windowbox?! Thank you both for all of your hard work!
That's really nice! And yes....the further we get along in years, low maintenance.. is really pleasing. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing the Marigolds growing bigger! My husband's mother..( granny) loved Marigolds..they were her favorite! Your " Eye Candy" is going to serve you well! Thank Chris for us as well! God Bless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful....I need to work on my flower beds. So hot here now.
I am inspired to do some more with my outside areas!! Thank you!!
The garden area looks amazing! Love the flowers and the mornin glories will look beautiful climbing up the trellises! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
P.S. Adorable garden! ...maybe put a pair of old boots in the outhouse, just to startle and amuse visitors😅
😂
Lovely garden with so many interesting rusty-crusty pieces. A hint from a gardener of 50 yrs: water soil ,not the plant.
I love antiques, especially outside!! I just love what you have done !
I can't believe it has been a year! You guys work so hard and it shows. Hi Chris.
Gorgeous! That garden area would be a dream come true for me! ❤❤❤
My kind of garden! Love it! I agree you use what you have. My husband and his friend put in 8 flower gardens when we had NONE! I was excited! We also did river rocks, but, we got a huge truck load delivered. Anyway what to use for edging? We added a new addition to our house and had to dig a new well. So the old well had to be filled in, so out came all of the curved bricks! It was me who thought to use it for the garden edges ,NOT the 2 guys. I was proud of myself! They both claimed they would've thought of it eventually. Yeah, right! I saved the day. LOL!
Don't forget to use Miracle Grow once a month on the flowers. They will bloom like crazy! Also, those Morning Glories are fantastic growers. Some species can grow 20-30 feet tall! Beautiful garden!!
Your garden will be lovely with your large metal objects, sculptures and windmills. Geraniums are sturdy flowers that will keep flowering until November, then keep them indoors to ibernate until the spring. Aromatic herbs such as basil, parsley, fresh mint....All your plants will be happy sheltered by the house walls.
It's great to see you putting personal touches on your place! Great job you two!!
Use cardboard wet it down then put the felt paper and mulch next year you can plant in spring
Thank you
I absolutely loved your introduction to this video! LOL you and Chris are awesome working together and he’s such a good sport. I really enjoy watching both your channels ❤❤❤❤
Very nice flower garden. Glad you put your plants in containers and pots so you can pull them in and cover them in the winter. Beautiful job!
Cardboard under the weed barrier helps keep weeds down too
This video is one of my top favorites on this channel. The beginning cracked me up... my husband to a tee as well 😂 You're so talented in the gardening realm, too. I love how it came together. It flows and is spectacularly eye-catching ❤
Absolutely Beautiful! The outhouse is awesome. Would love to see more of it at night lit up. My husband and I love solar light.
Oh.. I wish I could get better video at night.. it always seems blurry
It’s lovely Yvonne and Chris! Love all the rusty crusty junk, it’s just the perfect touch.
I love all of your containers and the solar lights just add that something something at night! The door looks really good too!
Yvonne & Chris, y'all made such a beautiful flower garden area - so amazing!!!!
I love this! Wow. I am going to do something like this to my yard. Easy to maintain! Fantastic Yvonne and Chris !
BEAUTIFUL. I hope you enjoy every moment of your lovely garden.
How are your wildflowers doing
Growing well
*What a beautiful color combination you created for your lovely side garden to enjoy every day as you enter your studio space❣️🍃💛💜🧡🍃 Now you have a lovely backdrop for your rusty crusty treasures. 🌼🌿💐😉*
Yes, it will be an ever progressing garden. Finding new treasures to add in. Thank you.
@@GingerChickRehabTheJourney *Yes, your garden will be an evolving thing of beauty. I am sure ❣️🍃😍😉🧡❤️💛🌿*
Yvonne, you can also use cardboard as a grass blocker.
Thank you for that. Need to give it a try
Remember to thin out the Morning Glory!!! You can plant the hundreds of extra plants in areas where the flowers will climb…such as the outhouse! If you don’t thin them out they most likely will be a tangled…. Oh well, it depends I’ll be fun to watch your garden grow !
Wow!! Chris I’m so impressed by you! Beautiful work! Yvonne your choice of plants and objects to put out there in your garden is beautiful!! ❤❤❤
Looks so good! I love all your found treasures that you planted in.
Beautiful. You just need a pair of old work boots with some jeans bunched around the ankles in the outhouse so under the door it looks like someone is in there 😂.
Your junque garden is beautiful! Great idea for our garage.
Can’t believe your a year in your home . Wow it flys . We’re just finished our farmhouse so now starting the gardens . Looks lovely Yvonne ❤
Love your gardens. I also started some wildflowers in my flower garden. Hoping for the best. New home for us and I really miss my flower gardens left behind in TN. We will be in our house for a year on September 1. Slowly but surely that’s our retirement plan.
Love the junkyard look, so charming. I have an old ringer washing machine in my garden, filled with flowers
Beautiful! The chicken feeder is my favorite. So creative what you did with the space❤️🌸Chris is a gem too!
I could definitely see a mural on that wall behind the garden spot
What a pretty garden! I love your butterflies !!
Suggestions for easier maintenance and toxin-free, unwanted plant ("weeds" or grass) removal and prevention: lay a base of staple- and tape-free cardboard ($free!), top with 4" of mulch or a little less rocks. Cardboard will smother the unwanted plants while gradually decomposing, actually improving the soil vs. adding poison or plastic weed block sheets (that break down into microplastics and do not improve the soil). After a couple years, rake back the mulch/rocks, replace the cardboard, recover with mulch/rocks. To kill plants before cardboard or over time, as seeds pop up, around edges, etc., use a propane powered flame weeder, like a Red Dragon (brand). Super easy, effective, safe and inexpensive. (If nervous about embers, carry a watering can while flame weeding.) Also, horticultural strength vinegar is great for unwanted plants, too.
As always, love your creativity and content! Thank you!
The video of Chis at the beginning as your employee is hilarious 😂. Not sure if your aware but you can buy truck loads of stone from gravel yard/landscaping company. Will definitely be cheaper than bags. I redid my flower beds with just stone. Love the start of the landscaping ❤
Love your new eye candy ideas! I thought I’d share a drainage tip someone passed to me for my barrels. If you are out of peanuts (styrofoam), you can save plastic soda caps. I don’t drink sodas but my son saves his for me. Layer them in the bottom. You’re recycling plastic and they don’t add weight for moving your planters around. 🙂
I would make or buy wood flower boxes to hang on the outhouse.
Great choices for your flowers. Looks like you've done this before.
Yvonne a d Chris what a transformation it looks absolutely beautiful you both did a great job love it
And Tater is the cutest kitty cat ❤️thank you for sharing I love both your channels 😊
Must make your HEART SING ❤️
Sooooo adorable !! We did the exact same thing with crushed river rock ! Had it delivered and started shoveling then had neighbor with a skid steer finish it. Wish I could attach a photo
Usually you plant a seed to the depth of its length. So not very deep for most seeds.
Thanks for the tip!
Gardens are lovely! Thank you!
You inspire me beyond belief!! Thank you, for all you do, for us!!!
I really enjoyed the clever planting ideas! Thank you!
Lovely ‘new’ garden to delight you daily👏👏👏👏👏
That will make you smile on your way to work 😁
