Magical!

I love the little fencing…plus your music choice is ‘chef’s kiss’.

Wow! Those are stunning. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful and calming. Nice share friend!

It’s so fun collecting seeds!

I just bought aquatic milkweed. Is thus a perennial for you? I look forward to growing it in my garden.

I love when I see little frogs in my yard. Plants i have now that I LOVE: Duranta, gomphrena, blue porter weed, various salvias including mystic spires (amazing), and many others. And now it’s getting cool enough that I can actually enjoy being outside.

Jo you’ve been busy!! I can tell. Everything looks wonderful. I’m inspired as always! I’m having beds dug this week and am so excited. Mostly getting soil ready as I know it’s probably better to plant in spring. But that hasn’t stopped me from creating an out of control pot garden. Ha! So many pollinators! Even in my little patch. I’m loving it. Thank you introducing me to so many plants!

Thanks for the garden tour - things are looking so nice! I LOVE your "holding area" of "things I couldn't stop myself from buying"!!! 😂😂😂 I can relate to that for sure! It is nice that temperatures are now lower (low 90s) as the plants are responding and blooming. It is also so fun to look at all the different salvia you have in your gardens.

Hi Jo! You gave me some seeds for the aquatic milkweed. I have success on it😊Thanks🦋 If its ok.. I would like to ask few seeds for the jewels of opar. I can send a post stamped envelope. Thank you🦋

Isn’t gardening the best! Even if it’s hard work, it’s so worth it! You’ve got such a beautiful garden. ❤️ BTW, I still can’t find you on Pinterest, found Crystal but not you!? Even had my techy husband helping me on my iPad. No luck, I guess I’ll just try to find Jewels of Opar seeds online.

Have some liriope at the curb I am not fond of. Think I will move my handful of frog fruit plants there to take over.

Oh my goodness! I can see the work you’re putting in. I too am pulling things that are under performing. I want to do a nice ground cover instead of mulch in one of my garden beds and I’m thinking frog fruit…🤔 I also have a holding area waiting for “go time”. Thanks for another great tour!

Thanks for your great tours, they give me so much inspiration! I'm just starting my garden (new house) up in Kingwood, TX and I was super excited to find your channel! Does your Duranta survive the winter? I thought I heard it doesn't survive freezing temps ( if we get them again this winter)?

Thank you for your tours Jo, you and Crystal have made me appreciate native plants so much more. Hopefully after todays high of 95 I’ll feel like getting into the garden again!

Looks like Helene may skip you and come to Tampa. We lost and cut down several trees after Ian, so it’s nice to feel safe from having one hit the house this season!

Those butterflies are so beautiful 🦋

That's a cool hydrangea! I love ferns so much. I have one in my yard that gets taller then me lol over 5 foot . Can u eat those berries on that plant?

native gardens are so cool

TX master naturalist are selling them this weekend in the Fulton Hummingbird Festival.. but it's a but of a drive from Houston 😅

They are my friends in the garden 🐞💛🐞

Hi Jo. I think I've also seen Spring Obedient Plant. Are therr 2 different varieties that bloom in different seasons? Thanks!

Those are so cute. ❤

I love your garden!! Where did you get your pink muhly?

Jo, I love how you explained your process and how you are doing things! That helps me so much because often I don’t know when to do things, such as cut back overgrowth, or how to do things, such as trim roses. You are so generous to share your knowledge with us!!! - And I get those gross black aphids on my hyacinth bean vines, too. Ugh! - I’m so glad that you have more fennel growing!!! I’ve got to start some more. One can never have enough fennel! - I’m really amazed by how your garden bounced back from the hurricane! It looks beautiful!!! - Seeing your garden encourages me to keep fighting the good fight! - Thank you, dear friend, for everything!!!!!!!!

Wow! Looks so good. This summer has been kind to us, mostly.😂

The garden looks beautiful! I definitely want to try Mexican hats in the spring. So charming!

it's interesting in that I have a coral nymph salvia in a container but directly below this plant a more light pink salvia sprung up in a patch of pigeon berry.. I may be wrong, but believe seeds from the coral nymph dropped and this is an offspring but in light pink, no coral. This seems to be sprouting up here and there. Thankfully it's pretty!

Oh wow they are so pretty. ❤

I like them but I don't like them to eat the butterfly caterpillars

Hi Jo, where did you get yours?

So beautiful ❤

Looks great. Those deer are rascals!

That's beautiful ❤

So maybe the plant I planted back in spring is Copper Canyon daisy. For some reason I didn't have a tag next to the plant and wondered what this thing was going to do. It hasn't bloomed all summer so I was quite disappointed. The leaves look alot like what you showed. So maybe it'll start blooming this fall. Hopefully so since I've almost yanked it out. I'll give it a chance thanks to you!😊 I had no idea Camp Allen existed, will look that up. Oh wow, thanks for the explanation of the non salvia pink germander. I'm finding a pink salvia type poping up here and there but haven't noticed any rhizome runners. Now I'm curious cause it's so pretty. What I'm finding popping up everywhere that I'm no longer in love with is Jewels of Opar and also one type of pipevine. These two drive me nuts!

Natives are good ❤❤you are free from lot of work

It’s amazing how great things look without care. Good reason to grow natives! I have a question about rock roses. My daughter rooted me one and it’s doing ok but it’s just one “stick” about 8”s tall. Can I cut it back to make it bushier or just leave it and it will bush out on its own? Still haven’t gotten on Pinterest yet. 🤦🏼
