Storm Aftermath & Transparency Episode! I Have Neglected Parts of My Property Too! Let Grace Abound!

[@dianecotton9531]

Your place looks great for kids and that's what's important. They grow up too quick. I think you do amazingly with twin babies & a little boy. I love your realism. 🙂

[@TinysGarden]

Thank you, Diane! :)

I love the transparency 😂, it shows the reality of most of us! I enjoy seeing the fact that not everything is always tidy in the garden. Sometimes it is disheartening to feel when I watch others that I don't live up to some standard made up in my head to how it should look. 😅 We all have lives and different situations and I only have small containers and they sometimes are a bit neglected too. No worries. I will garden a bit more when my temps get below 100😂😅😂. Great video! I hear you sister and I am with you sister.

[@TinysGarden]

Thank you, Liz! I think it's relieving to know we're not the only ones in this boat...thank you, sister! :)

Glad that your ok and your house is too Aug the 6th was in the middle of 4 ef1 tornados. Had 4 gusts of wind about 80 mph. Yeah tomato's, Daliahs, tall marigolds wind pushed them around. Took about 3 weeks everything looking better but a bit beat up. OMG in the closet with an upset screaming his lungs out. The conure just sat there, no electricity for 1.5 days. 3 miles away was a mess no electricity for 6 days. Just glad you and your family are ok.

[@TinysGarden]

All good here! Glad you're okay too!

[@ec9401]

I love this! I had surgery this May and then was laid off… my garden has been upsetting me a bit but there’s so much wildlife. Thank you for reminding me that it’s okay!!!

[@TinysGarden]

TOTALLY! 100% okay, my friend! :) Glad this was helpful.

I went to the Aquascape event right after that awful storm. It was a great event and got to meet Laura and Kevin from Epic Gardening. I feel so much better about my weeds. Life gets away from us right? The weeds will eventually die. Happy Gardening!

[@TinysGarden]

Oh my goodness, you were there!!! How fun! I bet it was sweet to meet Laura and Kevin...glad you were able to attend. What did you think of the Aquascape facility?! I'm thinking of taking a field trip with my crew aka family. Thank you for sharing! Oh, yes, those pesky weeds will eventually wither! Same to you! :)

[@dksgardenoasis]

@@TinysGarden you should go. They have building with some water feature ideas. This was the 3rd time I've met Laura. Once at the last Grand Garden show at Mackinac island and also there's a FB page called garden answer Groupies. The original Groupies were a few of us and we took a trip and went to Laura's and her mom and dad's house and we did an awesome service project with Laura. It was the year before COVID and it was the one and only time Garden Answer fans got to hang out with her for 3 days! It was awesome! I'll never forget it!

[@TinysGarden]

@@dksgardenoasis That’s amazing! How neat!

[@ilenehales7849]

We had 2 really bad storms last weekend my yard is good, but big trees down in the town I work in.

[@TinysGarden]

@@ilenehales7849 I think it impacted a lot of people

[@flowers.on.demand]

Awesome! Friends and family expect my garden to be perfection. It's nature. It's never perfect. I know that, but I need to be reminded. Often. You're doing absolutely amazing!! And the lil hummingbird behind you at the end of the video agrees. :D

[@TinysGarden]

Thank you! Did Hummy come out at the end?! I need to go back and watch it...that makes me so happy. We (really, my son) named our friendly hummingbird that loves to visit our cut flower garden. I think you're right...he seems pretty satisfied! It's the little things, right!?

[@flowers.on.demand]

@@TinysGarden that’s adorable. 😊 We’ve always called ours Perchy. As she zooms around our garden sipping here and there and then she perches on our feeder. We like to think she’s passed down that pattern to all her off spring.

[@TinysGarden]

@@flowers.on.demand I love this so much! Hi Perchy! Glad to know we aren’t the only ones who name our hummingbirds!

[@jrockwood7764]

🤣Thanks for being real. Nothing better than a dirt pile for endless hours of fun.

[@TinysGarden]

Absolutely! I'm telling you, it's the best unintentional "toy" we've ever bought.

[@cherierangel7459]

I just love ya Steph! You are so real! Thank you!

[@TinysGarden]

You're the best, Cherie! Thank you! We gotta hear this, right? I know I need to!

[@AnnaKincaid]

This is how our yard was looking last year when my son was an infant. I'm glad our HOA didn't get on our case I really just couldn't do anything. I also had alge and moss growing on my run I pressure washed it this year. Hopefully next year when the girls are older you can do more yard stuff if that's what you really want to achieve next year. 🙂I love this video

[@TinysGarden]

I completely get it. Thank you! All in good time, right!? :)

[@laurennelson4785]

Same! I’m obsessed with my raised beds of cut flowers and the rest is too much to maintain!

[@TinysGarden]

Ditto! Much less stress when I just let some things go, right? All in good time.

[@studiorootsjmb7098]

Family is more important then a "tidy" garden, enjoy your children, they grow up sooooo fast. Love to watch your vlogs. Parts of my garden are a mess to, but the hedgehogs love it LOL

[@TinysGarden]

Thank you! I bet those hedgehogs do! :)

[@valerieoster8049]

So glad you are giving your little boy room to imagine and play. That is what he will remember.

[@TinysGarden]

Thank you! Exactly. That's my wish!

[@doramaldonado4460]

You’re still amazing !! Enjoy all the storm blooms! 🌸

[@TinysGarden]

Thank you! :)

[@GrettaVanMaanen-pj8ql]

😊

[@TinysGarden]

Thank you!

[@TerryArmelin]

I so love your attitude you are our favorite! Congratulations on your baby girls!

[@TinysGarden]

Omg, Terry, you've made my night! Thank you! We're loving our twinnies and counting our blessings every day! Have a great end to your season!

[@younglee3285]

Very refreshing video!! Appreciate your honesty!! Thank you!!

[@TinysGarden]

You betcha!

[@theslinkymaniaa]

My window boxes are toast too 😂 I did nasturtiums, they never filled out great, got all scraggly and have dangling dead leaves. But I’ve seen a hummingbird twice over the last week or so visit one of the maybe 5 blooms I have, so I’ve kept them. It also means I don’t have to fuss with them, which I have no extra time or energy for anyways 🥴

[@TinysGarden]

I hear you, I hear you! I hope you've learned a bunch this summer with how busy you've been!

[@fromgardentopantrywithjell1326]

Glad you are all ok! My garden is also out of control! Every year i try to keep up, but once it gets crazy... hard to get it back! So many things to do in addition to garden. I try to also give myself some grace!

[@TinysGarden]

We MUST! We're human!

[@jamieflint2550]

I'm with you sister! I have areas of my back yard that are out of control, and I didn't just have a storm, and I didn't just have twins...or a 4 year old!! Your flowers still look gorgeous, even though wind swept ❤️ hopefully they'll perk back up!

[@TinysGarden]

Yesss, Jamie! My point exactly, girl...we're all human. I wish we all wore it just a little bit more on our sleeves instead of a "picture perfect" view point every where you look. Phew, that seems impossible and exhausting! lol

[@4nikkimay]

Beautiful property. Oh yes I have faith you’ll get to it. And even if you don’t it’s okay because it’s yours. 👍🏻

[@TinysGarden]

EXACTLY. Thank you!

[@joycerapezzi2378]

Yes!

[@TinysGarden]

Thanks, Joyce!

[@jenniferkarnowski8647]

The inside of my house is the most neglected haha

[@TinysGarden]

I didn't even go there! :)

[@karunald]

I still have plants to plant LOL

[@TinysGarden]

lol that's life!
