  • My backyard is looking fabulous. Still a lot to do, but I definitely feel like we are nearing its completion. I’m especially excited about the greens in the raised beds.

    Loving 🥰 the backyard. One suggestion though. You have several large pots right next to your beautiful handrails. You have a wealth of space on your steps. Have you thought of putting the pots up the middle sort of like your boxwood villages. Then your handrails won’t be cluttered with trip hazard’s.

    • @Lynette-qh3tw

      I agree, they could be lined up with that pipe in the ground also to prevent accidents there and that would give room to hold onto the railing and allow better access to the serving table from the door.

    Perhaps you could put the olive trees in larger pots. They look top heavy in the ones you currently have them in and thus will continue to fall over when it's windy.

    Your garden is beautiful. I live 20 miles South of you. I’m 75 yrs old and 5’ tall, but I always manage to drain my six rain barrels and turn them upside down to keep them from freezing. I will be uprighting them again in a few days. I place the floating mosquito rings in them in spring and again 3 mo later.

    Congratulations! I loved the back patio in your old home so much, but I wasn’t so sure about how the new one was gonna come together, but it has, and it looks terrific. I stole so many ideas from your old back patio that I call mine “the Linda Vater Patio.”

    Your backyard is a work of art!!! And you've accomplished that in one year!! Today, because of you, I bought 3 Southern Living Sunshine ligustrums. My plan is to keep them trimmed to no more than 3 feet tall and in spherical shapes, fingers crossed. I see that you have replaced your table top with a wooden one. Yay! Please tell me that you will put your gorgeous clay pots back on your shelving unit. That design of yours was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Have a lovely Easter. ❤

  • @pat9604
    @pat9604 2 місяці тому

    This is gorgeous and inspirational! The way the olive trees move, undulate, in the wind is mesmerizing. Every solution you have found is spot on. I have never grown vegetables, but that Romain is to die for. My cantaloupe had to be covered at dusk each evening to protect them from field mice, so I decided this was too labor intensive. With cost of produce rising, I might purchase cloches and make the dive again. Thank you for this and all your videos and inspiration, Linda. I didn't think you could ever trump your previous homes' gardens, but you have!

    this video is tremendous! I actually like the back yard more than the front... I always get excited when you go there. I have been thinking about why that is and I think it's because it's private, an outdoor room and I love pots . The garden also looks practical, and that is its triumph !

    I really like the N to S orientation of the table. It really opens up the big patio area and moves the eye all the way to the fence. Each table top, glass/wood, seems to really work with this new sight line.
    The new placement of the big wooden chairs, and the addition of the new maple give a symmetry and sophistication to the stairs.
    It’s a lovely composition.

    Beautiful Linda. The new maple is a Great addition to the garden, love the symmetry of both maples flanking the steps. I think adding the rose to the wall will make that area softer and give great colour too .. another great idea I’m excited to see. I’d love to see a climber across the back trellis too as I personally think it looks a little hard with so much grey .. but it’s all coming together now ❤❤❤ well done Linda .. love from the uk 🇬🇧
