Finding something gold in the garden, a relaxing lunch alone at Pickity Place, garden craft project

[@soaponyt1850]

How lovely and bittersweet it was for me to see Pickity Place again. I used to visit there with a good friend when I lived in Merrimack, New Hampshire many years ago. Sadly, we moved to South Carolina when my husband was transferred. I have always missed New Hampshire and that friend who I have lost contact with over the years. I feel like my soul belongs in New England. Yours is my favorite KZbin channel.

[@susanwalline993]

Oh my, Linda. Only five words came through of my comment. My sentiment was: YOU are a Renaissance woman, seeing the beauty in simplicity as well as elegance!

[@newenglandfineliving]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@dwalker6716]

I’ve loved Tasha Tudor for many years and had a chance to meet her in 1988! Thank you for this amazingly wonderful video. Your videos always inspire me with home and garden ideas♥️

[@carmenmontmarquet706]

Thank You for taking us along to visit Pickity Place! Have been there many times but not for a long time, so fun to see it again! Their lunches were always fabulous as well as their gardens!! And I think it's time for a visit also to the House by the Side of the Road, another fun place to go to! Looks like you had an Awesome Day!

[@ritaaders3364]

Thank you so much for the tour. My first visit was last year in July. The gardens were in full regalia, with whimsy and majesty! What a nice treat today to revisit. Thanks again.

[@homedecor6915]

Oh Linda, the memories you've brought back to me....I haven't eaten at Pickity Place in almost 30 years! Their food was fantastic and the grounds were always so beautiful. Thank you for taking me back there!

[@noreenpouliot3403]

Pickity Place was one place that I went to, quite often. Fond memories of taking my mom to lunch and my daughter and granddaughters. The huge tree out front was wonderful, the carving is so amazing. I love Tasha Tudor as well. I have several of her books, and have watched videos of her home and amazing gardens. She was one of a kind. Angel hugs, ❤

[@Sylvia1976]

That was so nice! I love Pickety Place! That lunch looked yummy! I'll be there in 26 hours!;)

[@gailsprangers9388]

Your garden and landscaping is beautiful! What fun to see you at Pickety Place. I've been going there for over 20 years. My sister, mom and I would go every other month. Now my sister and I go every month. We always sit at the same table😊. It's a promise we made to each other. No matter how busy we are, we will at least have lunch together every month. I wished I had seen you there, I would have said hello! It has changed over the years. There used to be geese at an old coop by the parking lot and sheep in the back toward the garden barn, and I do miss that old tree. They have done a beautiful job on the book exchange they made out of it though, and now they have two very friendly orange resident cats😊. Thank you for another lovely video.

What a magical place, is Pickety Place. Wonderful colorful blooms. Such diversity and abundance. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

I just knew Peter Rabbit was waiting to run in front of your camera! That was magical. Thank you.

[@kathyhartsell4383]

Good evening Linda! Thank Ben for the aerial view! Your pedestal turned out great! I’ve never seen a gold beetle! I enjoy all the places you go…gardens, little dirt roads, and lunch spots! Hugs to Willow! Thank you! 💕

[@diannedesroches2672]

Watched this with my coffee and crocheting. I am binge watching your Playlist since I just found you. Thank you so much for sharing all your talents.

Gorgeous video Linda, the music in the background is always so beautiful. Peaceful and delightful views, thank you for taking me to another part of the country.

Oh Linda, Another great "field trip" :) Thank you! Rhubarb is my favorite, so that recipe is on my list! Be well

[@rhondaz356]

Linda, this video is so relaxing, soothing, and absolutely lovely and inspiring. Thank you so much.🌿🌻🍀🌺🌱

[@colinmcknight2590]

loved pickety place. we had a great lunch there some years ago. glad to see that part of the tree was saved.

[@newenglandfineliving]

Me too!

[@roymavistanner8399]

What a charming and magical place Pickity Place is!! It would be such a calming and relaxing place to spend a few hours, and I loved those pink poppies with the exquisite centres that look like black lace! That was a brilliant DIY project with the 3 colours of spray paint! Never would have thought of doing anything like that!! It certainly DOES look like cement now! Amazing end result! :) ~~M~~

[@patriciahough3111]

I haven’t been there in 25 years. I miss the gardens and their wonderful lunches! Thank you for sharing this,

I bought a handle you put on your spray paint and it makes all my painting projects SO much easier!! All of your projects are so much fun to watch.

[@cynthiasirois8295]

My hubby and I have lunch at Pickety Place quite often… the food is always outstanding there, and the gardens are so peaceful. There is nothing like early summer in New England…with each passing day, more flowers are blooming in my gardens. Thank you for such a nice video!

[@rneustel388]

What lovely gardens-yours and Pickety Place’s, and my favorite flowers, foxgloves and poppies!

I love that you have been making more than one video a week I'm just delighted when I see one pop up on my phone.🤗🌺

[@patriciacaughey5122]

This was so awesome. Pickety place is beautiful and tranquil. I loved the history on the house for Little Red Riding Hood. That lunch looked like it was delicious. Thank you.

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thank you so much!

Pickity Place looks like my kind of garden. Very full of planting and a tiny bit messy looking. 😊

[@newenglandfineliving]

It is a great place for inspiration

What a great idea with the three paint colors It came out looking so amazing. Pickety Place is so quaint and adorable. I was there many years ago, I’d like to go back. Your lunch looked yummy and your pie too. Thank you so much Linda for making such inspirational videos and for sharing all these lovely New England places Stay well ♥️

Love what you did to the pedestal. I also have one that is glaringly white so I’m going to try your technique. (I’ll try to remember to wear a glove 😏)

[@newenglandfineliving]

Have fun and yes... a glove! lol

[@allioakley3372]

😊💗💗💗You make me so happy

[@debweissler7808]

Linda, I just love garden ornaments, metal & stone. There is a place in Williamsburg VA that sells not only garden stones & boulders, but garden ornaments and statuary from all over the world. Some are small enough to fit in a modest garden; others are meant for large estates. It’s always a treasure hunt!

[@newenglandfineliving]

Sounds like a great place to visit!

[@valerieturner9708]

What is this place?! I’m local, but not sure where you’re talking about. Thanks!!

what is the name of the plants that have leaves like a lily but a bluish/purple flower ball on top of the long stem coming out of the middle of plant ?

[@barbaracarlson1331]

We have some beetles that are awful and eat our rose buds and blossoms!

My step daughter called me saying something was eating holes in her sweet potato vine. I investigated and found the tortoise beetles. I treated and problem was eradicated.

Gee this brought back memories . I went to Pickett Place about 30 years again with my daughter then 6 and a friend who moved to New Hampshire from Long Island . Such a sweet place . I have a recipe book from Pickett Place. Thanks for the trip down memory lane !😉

the plant in question is in background at 7:05 mark in video ?

Hi! Those are Alium. I myself never had them before and Sugarwood has quite a few and I was excited!

[@bevcrabtree6519]

@@newenglandfineliving thank you as i never could find the name of these plants... here in central fla i see them all around but never could find the name ... your garden is taking shape and really beautiful... i love how you spray painted the metal pedestal... as i would have never thought of using 3 different spray paints... thank you for the tip

You appear to be spraying downwind.

[@newenglandfineliving]

It looks it from the video, but it is going to my left and I did have to for at least one of the sides and tried to work with the wind.

[@saraw8503]

Aside from the wind direction, the column is pretty. A great improvement. Well done.
