    Instant gardening ! Looks great with the mossy stones and the fern and it makes the temporary stabilising look less noticeable.

    This video was perfection. You had a good mix of talking and zen vibes with a theatrical ending of classical music. Your Miss Japonica is gorgeous. I think she looks fabulous in her new home. Such a good idea to place her there as to screen your neighbors yard. The mossy rocks were a brilliant dash of finesse. When you mentioned your next phase of adding a reflecting pond I said YES! Brilliant idea. Looking forward to the next stage. Toodles!

    If you can light the tree from the ground up it will have an enormous impact at night with the pond. I have a swimming pool and at night the two multi trunk maples I planted above it reflect in the black mirror surface, it's very peaceful. Thank you for the garden update, it's fun to watch.

    • @ChipsGreenWorld

      Hi Sandra, I can’t really be sure without seeing it ? But Is the one box getting more sun then it was getting before , a different position maybe?
      & has it picked up or getting worse?
      I Hope it’s not anything serious 🧐 fingers crossed 🤞

      Hi Krisgeringer, some times it’s quite difficult to explain what I’m doing but in short I’m talking about 12 inches of the top so it’s a better shape than come next summer I will be able to shape all the new growth into something more tree like 👍🏼 hope that helps, all the best 🌱 Chip

    Hello Chip and I am loving what you’re doing to transform this beautiful front garden. Miss Japonica looks amazing, and your moss covered stones are beautiful. I didn’t know why you added the wooden supports around the tree though and interested to know why you did that? Looks amazing and oh wow a pond next! ❤

    • @ChipsGreenWorld
      @ChipsGreenWorld  Рік тому +2

      Hi Janette, thank you for your lovely message, the supports are just to keep Miss Japonica stable whilst she roots in as she has such a small root ball for her hight which is over 6 foot tall, any wind would move & disrupt her rooting in progress so these temporary stakes should help her for the first six months 🌳 looking back I just wished I would have used large bamboo instead, it would have looked more in keeping with the design style, knowing me I may change it 😂 hope you & yours are well, have a wonderful week & all the best 🌱 Chip

    Sure looks amazing Mr Chip. Out here in the high Mohave desert I plant a lot in raised garden boxes and yard sale planters and rock beds it gives the roots a chance to establish in amended soil as well as keeping that clay soil underneath moist. I have to say any great garden improvement is not instant gratification it takes time to sort through. But the end game is so worth it. I love your designs. See you next time.
