Agree on the music...I talk to and stroke the plants as well and talk to the lizards scampering through the foliage...awesome choice on the figs btw, I have 2 trees in my yard and they are both fruiting, love their leaves. Wish I could grow lavender, but Florida is just too hot, it's a real chore figuring out what will grow well here, but I've learned a lot in 2 years, lots of native plant nurseries and plants for permiculture food growing, Seminole pumpkins and sweet potatoes are on the menu, but so much is edible and fun to discover...you always put me in the mood to go back out for another hour of the scorching heat...then back in to the air conditioning...have a great weekend as well...!

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

Awww thank you so much for the kind message 🤠 i sadly don’t have any lizards 🦎 to talk to sadly lol 😂 it’s really lovely to hear how your gardening life is going in Florida .. it really sounds like you’re getting the hang of it and the hot weather 👍🏼 Again in Yorkshire we just about get a mild summer giggles 🤭 Have a wonderful sunny Florida day and all the very best 🌱 Chip

Fig! Inspired idea ❤ If the lavender doesn't work out , you can always switch ... The contrast of leaf texture and colour is great. Wish my garden looked like that.😊 Will start talking nicely to the plants...and give them a good shower to music. Thanks Chip

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

Giggles 🤭 nothing better than a long soak to a lovely bit of music 🎵🤭… Thank you very much for your kind message it’s very much appreciated All the best and have yourself a magical day 🌱 Chip

Sitting with my tea & toast, I watched this early morning inspiration for my newly designed pebble and container garden. After preparing the plot, and sorting out the surface area, I am frozen into inactivity, I have been dithering about choosing plants. I'm calling it The Japanese Garden, but every day it gets a new title. I'm starting with a lovely acer,. Not just because it's Japanese, but because I love them. But I think having a theme is getting in the way as it's discounting plants I absolutely love, and also limiting the number of plants I can have. So I'm throwing the theme ( and all titles) out the window. Thank you, Chip, for this much-needed shot in the arm. I think I'm off to buy a fig.

[@Corinne-rc4xm]

Thanks Chip! What a beautiful courtyard you are creating! I love it! And the cat is the icing on the cake… we had a pure black cat a few years ago. We called her PussPuss. She’s gone now… and we miss her. 😎🇨🇦

It's 9.25 am in Trinidad 🇹🇹. And, I'm having a meditation while watching you.. 🧘🏾‍♀️. My plants are in for quite a wetting today..lol🫠😆🙃

[@deborahcampbell2400]

Totally agree about height … in addition to an Olive tree in a pot I’ve just added four 12 ft pencil cypresses in pots against my house wall in my small space and they work beautifully to give some scale to the planting and balance the 9ft high pergola at the other end of my green courtyard style garden 🙂

[@alisonsmee7076]

Chip, you are my inspiration, everything you do is so beautiful.

[@1114ilias]

I always love watching your videos.

[@kellykiley]

Chip your designs are brilliant. Love the rusty obelisks and corrugated pots really lend themselves to a rustic but masculine look. Beautiful. "It rust we must trust," See you and Gipsy next time.

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

Awwww thank you so very much , that is very kind of you and yes I’m a big lover of the leaves 🍃 my favourite part of the plant 🌱 have yourself a wonderful day and all the best 🌱 Chip

[@myla2102]

La feuille de figuier a un parfum extraordinaire🎉. Ses racines aussi… dans le sud de la France on évite de le planter près d’un mur, il déformerait ses fondations. Mais je crois comprendre que dans ce cas présent, il n’est pas destiné à prendre toute son ampleur ? En ce qui concerne la lavande , effectivement elle vieilli mal; mais une bonne taille annuelle,à la fin de la floraison, en arrondi, en évitant lede tailler dans le « bois » de l’année pour qu’elle puisse refleurir, est une bonne technique de durabilité. De plus elle se bouture facilement et cela fait une bonne réserve de remplacement sans surcoût !😊 J’aime beaucoup ce style de jardin que vous avez créé, du charme, facile à entretenir, avec un esprit méditerranéen ❤

[@ivankabaric6513]

Just beautiful, you’re a true visionary Chip. 🌳🌳

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

[@PleasantPrickles]

I love it! Fig leaves are truly beautiful! 🌱🌱🌱😊

[@virginiahill7001]

Lovely design ideas. Was watching and wondering why you did not put the plants in first. Easier without the obelisks in the way, and it would also weight the containers in position, plus, most importantly, keep any dropped soil off the immaculate pebbles if they went in later, after the obelisks? So therapeutic for you watering all the area at the end, which will keep humidity levels up so the plants do not dry out as quickly. Good job. Wishing you happy gardening.

[@BotanicAlley]

I started growing lavender in pots this year and never going back! it's just too wet here for them. All the different textures in your courtyard are inspiring. Makes me want to get more pots

[@flaviaporcellato4394]

Meraviglia delle meraviglie è stato veramente rilassante ma anche istruttivo e penso che un fico lo pianteró anch'io. Ma vorrei sapere se il vaso dove ha piantato il fico è di ferro se sì non si scalda troppo col sole ???

[@georgiegirl1602]

Great idea about the root separation. I'll be using that. Thanks for a lovely relaxing vid. Hi from Downunder 😊

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

Thank you for Down Under 🤠🇦🇺 hope all is well over the pond 👍🏼 all the very best and thanks again for your support 🌱 Chip

[@johnfirth8492]

Just a bit confused with the planting figs and lavenders like sun but you’ve planted them at the side of ferns and a grass the I think is also shade loving

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

Hi John 🤠 yes I can see exactly where you’re coming from .. the courtyard is a bit tricky with the sun and shade especially around this time of year .. this middle point portion in the courtyard is often shaded most of the year but for a couple of months in high summer it gets pretty much all sun ☀️ so I’m hoping the figs will grow to meet the sun and the lavender will be moved once it’s finished blooming.. as it’s already been moved in the new episode 👍🏼 and now I will plant around the fig with more shade tolerant plants that I can enjoy though the winter months Hope that helps.. all the very best 🌱 Chip

[@valsmith8113]

Looks amazing! Giving me such inspiration. I love gardening. I've just subscribed to your channel. Love it thank you 😊 ❤❤❤

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

Awww Val 🤠 thank you!! .. so lovely to have you onboard and your also very welcome my friend .. all the very best and have yourself a magical week 🌱 Chip

[@valsmith8113]

@@ChipsGreenWorld Really lovely you reply back. ❤️

[@barbara6204]

A fig tree???? You have no idea how huge it becomes... poor you.

[@ChipsGreenWorld]

Hi Barbara and thank you for your concern 🤠 I intend to Topiaries the two Figs I planted , I thought I mentioned this in the vlog .. I maybe should have been clearer.. they will only be allowed to get 10ft tall and no wider than two feet .. and all foliage will be pruned away up to 5ft from the ground.. so they will be large Bonsai 👍🏼 🤭 giggle Hope that puts your mind at peace ✌🏻 🌱 Chip

[@barbara6204]

@ChipsGreenWorld ohhh I didn't get that. Lookimg forward to see.how.they turn out...
