[@susanaeh]

My grandmother was still poking around in the garden when she was 90. I remember one visit, she came around from the back yard to the front to greet us, weed picker in hand, to let us know she was in the back and to join her back there for our visit. : ) She loved her garden.

[@ghaithgarden]

[@juneramirez8580]

​@@QueenAyeee no this is the first time I have seen those chairs there. But I certainly can't blame them! What a beautiful sight to overlook!

My mother gardened up until the last year of her life and she died at 97! She did all the planting and care herself. The only thing I did was prepare her gardening beds. She was amazing!

Thank you for all the reminders for new gardeners. I appreciate them so much. All of this information can be overwhelming when starting to take an interest in gardening.

This was a wonderful episode. I've watched it four times! Thank you to you and Stewart for creating it. Loved seeing Barbara! What an inspiration! Hope your eye is better very soon. God bless ♡

[@juliabinford6500]

Lovely colors along with magical alliums…what a treat! I hope your eye heals quickly:)

[@Tibetan2]

Thanks for the great tip on pinching back the tips of Dusty Miller. I bought a 3” sprig last summer, planted in the garden bed and pinched the tips whenever I thought of it. It grew into a small shrub, and over-wintered well in my zone 7 garden while beautifully highlighting the holiday decor. And it’s still growing like gangbusters after a spring feeding! Genius tip! 👏👍

[@PleasantPrickles]

Your foxgloves are as tall as you and butterflies are fluttering. Love the way you implement tone on tone planting. Your garden is glorious! Enjoy! 🌿🌸

[@angelacollins1343]

Thank you for the May Day bouquet. Ding dong, one right back to you. 💕

Your seeding trowf. in my family is called "Grandpa's planter". It's VERY SPECIAL! He had two. I have two children. I gave each one, one . They take special care of them, because they cherish them!

So Linda…you were very gracious to visitors to your garden.Alison and her friend who have no gardening interests but Alison’s mom Mary Ann (NJ) and her dear friend Mary Ann (Maine) who follow you religiously. Thank you and maybe 1 day MA and MA MAY MAKE THEIR WAY TO OKLAHOMA to pay a visit

[@MichaelRusso-k9j]

You put such effort into your gardening and love every moment you are out in nature. So nice to see, as some homeowners have cut back on their gardening efforts and choose low maintenance! Sorry to hear about your eye infection when you were away but glad you are better. Getting late so will continue watching tomorrow! Your videos are fun to watch and learn from.

[@PamsMountainGarden]

You are hitting me with a Breakfast at Tiffany’s vibe.

Hi, Linda. Thank you for your video. Have a good week. ❤

[@beverlyhei9657]

A few months ago I suggested you may like the purple globe basil from bakers seed. I was so excited to see you’re going to try it! Hope you like it!

[@kristineolsen477]

I'm a new gardener who loves to see pinching, deadheading, etc. ! Thank you for the repetition ❤ Your friend Kristine

I’m so proud here in Pensacola fl I seeded Larksboro in Jan direct sowed on at rainy day and lo n behold I have 2 that sprouted beautiful blue blossoms will so continue this again I’m not picking it so I hope the seeds scatter about..

[@marilynmourdock3688]

I love the flagstone path on Lemon Lane. Do you think you might ever make similar paths throughout other parts of your garden? Beautiful structure in winter.

[@lindas3832]

I also have a “nursery” container that I put bits and pieces of trimmings and cuttings. They stay safe and I know right where they are.

[@betsymaltby6788]

Thinking first time commenter (maybe not), however, just want to say I really enjoy you channel. I always leave with new ideas and inspiration. Your gardens are beautiful.

[@SuperTWVideos]

At 15:41 I noticed the neighbours’ chairs set out next to the foxgloves, larkspur and allium show. They must love the view. Linda, l’m guessing your garden is everyone else’s borrowed landscape. 🎉😊❤

[@cherylsterling9801]

Another regional pronunciation or phrase… is it I’ll be “dern” or I’ll be darn(ed). Dern or Darn is the question of the day! Beautiful garden and oh to be that healthy & sharp at 90 like your special guest today.

[@LindaVater]

I know!

[@EdenViewLiving]

Hey Linda, umm your garden is soo beautiful 😍 ⚘️🌷

Hello Linda Sorry about your eye damage. Suddenly the evergreens are leafy. Big job shaping all those boxwoods😅😅Love the cottage garden❤

[@anncollard1742]

My walmart has those boxwood basil for only 8.48!🎉

[@dawndawn6946]

Gorgeous everything! My lettuces have all bolted already. I'm thinking I should plant some in pots and grow them in the shade on the porch. But, really, your garden looks so fresh and healthy! ❤I'm running out of time to fix the leaks in my irrigation.😮

[@peggy1844]

I love all the different plants in your front garden.....so many interesting things to look at! Did the cleome reseed? They were my favorite plants in your garden last year😊 It’s so special that the neighborhood children are enjoying all the different blooms in your garden😊

[@LindaVater]

Yes and yes!

[@terribyers1]

I love your baskets you sold on QVC! I have two of them. The larger one we use in the summer for the grandkids pool toys and the smaller basket I carry around in the back yard for weeding and it’s pretty so I leave it outside in different areas in between weeding and dead-heading. I would buy more if they were available.

[@sudahiawad4498]

The cottage garden looks beautiful! 😍 I started some boxwood basil seeds 2 months ago based on loving them in your garden last season. QUESTION: Do I pinch them back? They look kinda wild right now. Or will they eventually take on that rounded mounded look?? 💚💚💚💚💚

[@I.equitazione]

Nice!! Are warm rubber riding boots for the Autumn/Winter and are comfortable for the rain?

[@Annie-qu9ik]

Hi from Annie, think did mention that saw a doco on poison plants it was a UK doco of their royal gardens and one was a wparate garden fenced off it had plants known to be poisonous and Fox Glove is one of them their pollen is poison. Your garden is great does not need to be as you say particular order it is not wild at all but very natural. Love that pink top you have on it is one of your best colours.

[@tonyz376]

So what is that dark green/purple leafed plant on the east side of the front garden? The one you mentioned you'd put a purple basil next to...

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I notice every time you mention an item that was in your QVC line, it is no longer available. Will you be adding new products to your line or was that a one season foray? The garden is looking lovely! I went to the nursery yesterday and found a 4 inch purple ball basil, a variegated lemon licorice that I love spilling out of pots , fever few , lambs ear and nepeta. Can't wait to get in the garden tomorrow morning.

[@MarigoldsintheGarden]

Hi Linda, Greetings from Australia. Just wondering, what plant is 'JOSEPH'S COAT'?

Everything is growing so quickly and it’s beautiful 😊😊.. I was wondering where did you purchase your concrete basket with the handle? It so pretty 😊😊

Linda, do all Foxglove take the full sun? I’m having a real time with them in Kansas. We are now zone 7a… they refuse to grow for me. I love your visit from a neighbor. She reminds me of my mom so very much!

[@dhanya.chandran_phytology.8953]

Nice.

[@camilla6110]

I’ve been growing scabiosa (pin cushion flowers) every summer, en masse, in pots. I just love them and so do the 🐝🐝 and butterflies. In Missouri, they like a little shade in the heat of mid summer, and lots of water, probably because they’re in pots, I keep them well mulched and they are gorgeous all summer. They don’t over winter very well though, here, even in the ground. 🫤. There is something so satisfying about deadheading them! ☺️. They look like baby allium! What a lovely fellow seasoned gardener your lady friend is! Bless her heart!!

[@LindaVater]

I completely agree!

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

I love scabiosa! Blooms a very long time

[@SuperB719]

What type of trees are in your front yard? I am specifically interested in the multi trunk trees that were behind you in your discussion of layered planting. I tried to find the tree names in earlier videos but couldn't find them. Thx!!

[@margolyn8291]

❤coolest door ever..love it

[@sonyasanders5170]

O had one of the Spiral Gardenias, but it did not make it. This was when they first came out. I have not seen anymore. I wanted to try again because it was beautiful. I assume I can order this on line at, Better Homes and Garden, right? Gardenias are picky in my limited experience. When you find a place they thrive, leave it there. I have planted a lot of new plants and am looking forward to them taking off in the next week. Texas 9😊

[@Inspire-kx4fb]

Hi Linda, where did you get your basket by the steps of your front porch? It is so pretty 😊

[@nitahiltner3348]

Was worried about you in all those storms!!!! You have to tell us how it was. I watch one youtuber who had a tornado pass right behind her house while she and her 3 little girls were in the stone basement in Iowa. Roly polys take heavy metals out of the soil.
