Early May Garden & Retaining Wall with Recycled Materials

[@patriciagrisham5938]

You have a beautiful garden! I enjoy working in my yard and garden until I see a snake, which I did the other day. Now, I can’t focus on the tasks at hand because I’m too busy watching all around me!

Oh wow! Always think of the Emily Dickinson poem when I see a snake "But never met this fellow, Attended or alone, Without a tighter breathing, And zero at the bone."

Lovely tour! The pink azalea at the beginning is gorgeous. Looks so peaceful in that back area.

I love a cat who follows his people like a puppy dog! 😺🐶

Kibby is a fun kitty.

I love the concrete paver and brick combination pathway

[@stonecottageadventures304]

It's the perfect way to use recycled materials that don't match perfectly..

Thanks so much for another great garden video and I always enjoy watching your beautiful garden

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Thank you for your sweet comment.

Well my plan today was to plant in the garden, after a trip to my favorite nursery yesterday, But here in California it is pouring rain!!!! Thank goodness for your video! So I am in your garden instead of mine. Its still a garden , and yours always makes me happy. I am in love with all your gorgeous pink azaleas. I have a huge white one, but I wish it was pink. Guess I just need to get myself one. I also love Lupine but it never seems to come up from seed, and I never find them potted.

Same! Pouring rain so I may as well enjoy someone's garden! ☔🌷

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Rained all day yesterday here and will be raining for the next week. Glad I filmed when I did!

Look up sweet shrub for the rusty flowers. I wish you had the app. I don’t have it either. Your tall rose may be a Jackson & Perkins Queen Elizabeth. My Mom had one. And I do now. I don’t have a heuchera! I don’t have peonies. I did have clematis. I started fertilizing the plants in the back of the yard. We are making a table with plumbing pipes for legs and to support the pick nic table.

Thanks for sharing, Charlotte.

Calycanthus scent is different from seedling to seedling. Unless grown from a cutting from a verified scented tree, it's not guaranteed to have a scent.

Thanks so much for sharing that info. I am so glad to know that.
