Margie- i think the variation of lavender colored plants look great as they are. I do this and feel it prevents a boring garden. Great job linda!

[@chrisogrady4956]

Linda, I love your beautiful, v-neck sweater. The Q & A session was fun. Your railings are spectacular! They add so much, the perfect finishing touch. The California, mansion was gorgeous inside and out. Such a treat to “visit”. Real grass in the Easter basket is a cute idea. Will enjoying watching it grow and seeing what you add to the design. Sorry about mean comments. You don’t deserve that kind of treatment. Unfortunately, there are lots of mean people out there. You’re the best!

[@jeanmcparlan6398]

i love gardening with my dog Daisy. She loves sniffing all the plant along with me.

[@pattipattisgardenvintage5552]

3rd year with my electric mower. Best decision ever! I am enjoying this week welcoming the hummingbirds back to my yard.

[@lindylou3519]

Oh how that mower brings back memories! Back in the 60’s, my mother & Dad had one when they lived in Florida to cut their St Augustine grass that they planted themselves with many plugs. Mama said that was the best mower & made the lawn look so clean cut!

[@leticiavallejo7914]

Linda, “Cottage on the Hill” looks fabulous! You’ve inspired me to practice my creativity in my gardening arena. Also, sharing your gardening tools is a life saver. Be blessed!

[@srinivasam3638]

Amazing that you have transformed the Story Book Cottage Hill front barren land into a beautiful lush green garden so quickly 👏👏👌👌👍👍

[@helenf9650]

Best fun item in my garden: BIRD BATH. 🕊️The robins splash away, little yellow finch sip water daintily and even the wasps have a drink. It brings me joy❤️

[@reginaray3820]

I have learned so much from watching your channel. Stuart is great!

[@josephinebrevig8748]

That push mower really took me back! I’m officially old!! 😅😅

[@julesl7679]

I just bought a push mower for my small grassy area in the backyard. I love it. No more engine issues or running out of gas.

[@shirleybush9579]

I would have grass laying all over.

[@chantelsgarden]

Ditto I have small patch in front and I’m loving my push mower works like a charm if area is small

[@claireewing6188]

Ah! We loved our hand propelled mower in our home in Oakland, Ca in 1999 ….. 😊we established a “ lawn” on which our sons played. And my husband built a rock wall with river rock on the slope below. I planted the rock garden with the help of a friend and neighbor. The property had a slope to the sidewalk and he created this when he was laid off in early 2001 while searching for a job. Our friends and neighbors said it was the wall that scotch built! 😂 the rock garden still stands today! I have fond memories of the non-mother mower!

[@deeshea3286]

Your property has turned out remarkably well. You definitely are a master at your craft! So fun to follow you.😄

[@tesssilba9078]

Linda, An affordable medium sized glass greenhouse, with a black frame, would blend in well & be very practical in your back yard. It would also be a beautiful focal point year round .

[@jeanniekline8325]

Fun thing number 6-watching this video 😊. Love the mower! Remember watching my father when I was little❤

[@loriboyce942]

I haven't watched in a week - lots of new growth!!

[@jeanniecollier6763]

The sweetest thing that has happened the last 2 years is I have rabbits using my yard as the safe place for their babies. I am just careful about where I water my plants. Sweet little rabbit families. Makes me smile.

[@gardengirl7446]

Love you Linda and Stewart ❤ just wondering why Stewart isn't mentioned or credited anywhere in the video description? The relationship between the two of you just MAKES this channel so charming. It wouldn't be the same without him!

The garden is looking beautiful. You must be delighted with it, and ready to enjoy for summer. Well done. The blueberries have wonderful autumn colour so an added bonus. Enjoy

[@porchswingdesignsmarilou7323]

OH, how I love watching your videos, Linda & Stewart! You two are so much fun. :) I have a gardening story to tell. I went shopping for plants for my garden today and had a bit of a shock when the cashier totaled my purchase. Oh, well. While I was waiting at the curb for my hubby to drive the car over, a nice lady told me that the garden on my cart was beautiful. I thanked her and told her that my eyes were bigger than my garden. I bought way too much but that is always a challenge I will accept and I will find a place to put all my new babies.

[@brendajones7392]

My excitement for my garden is my lettuce emerging in my veggie garden.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I love a total mix of lavender. The darkest jewel tones are my favorite. I haven't been able to find the Indigo Frost agapanthus in my area. It looks gorgeous. When you were holding the pepper you picked, there is a shot of the neighbors house on the other corner. I just want to go over there and put two large pots of anything on the two brick pillars. Your garden would inspire me to add something to mine. And when your backyard is done... yes... lets go see Stwearts yard, and you can help him make a sanctuary where he lives.

[@debjanibhowmick5870]

Linda is having fun. The front yard looks amazing.

[@chrisdooney5374]

I’ve been using a push mover for over 30 years when we bought our house. Love it!! I use a Hori Hori knife the pop out the dandelions. My blueberry bushes are in large grow bags, and it was so much fun watching them grow and ripen!

[@jeaninewalsh5120]

Brings back memories I use to mow lawns just like that a little higher with a mower like that when I was a kid. I use to get blisters from the handle. I'm sure they make them much easier to work with today.

[@dorothydemaree7544]

Yes, I have sweet memories of my hard working dairyman Daddy push mowing our lawn- made thick and lush from Very natural fertilizer right outta the cow stalls.. that after application Momma watered-in several times a day to keep it from burning up their efforts. He supplied the neighbors with pickup truck fulls also so no one minded a few days of unmistakable scent for a long season of beautiful green and barefoot delight.

[@christystone6224]

Love this! Love your garden hat too❤️ can you share the link please?

[@star.830]

Hi Linda, I love what you have done with your new garden. The social patio is lovely. I love the flagstone and brick together. I know you are known for your topiaries. But I love the different variety of flowers. Linda I have watched you for years. I think you have such a gift for gardening. Thank you for what you do. Stewart is wonderful at what he does. I feel I know you guys. Take care and keep doing what you do. Kay from California.🌹

[@suzismith9681]

Those blueberries! My garden is just about in winter mode , heavy rain so its inside now. The indoor plants are happy , I've expanded the range as our conservatory is now that, after being a drop zone forever. My darling purple violet, that refused to flower for more than 8months, burst into bloom the day our only granddaughter arrived. Shes 2 now,it has not stopped flowering in all that time. Its now turned into 2 plants so will divide and repot. I've always loved these flowers even as a 5 year old. Something special about them. I love your new garden Linda it will be a show stopper in no time.

[@beatrixrode1082]

I am truly impressed with how your garden look after such a short time. Well done 👍✅

[@lindaheckert8495]

I love the mower I used to mow lawns in my neighborhood for 1.00 with a push mower in the 70’s .. I like the different colors not just one. I’ve learned new and fun ways to make pretty arrangements in my garden thank you.

[@RoseMary-vs3io]

I need this push mower for my small serpentine grassy area in the back garden👌

A fun thing in the garden for me is when I I thought a otto luyken laurel shrub didn’t survive the winter and then I discover new growth on it with much joy and relief!!

You are nailing it. Your new home is very quickly becoming the reflection that is mighty Linda!!

[@charlesperez9976]

Quick story,an Italian story. My Grandfather,Giuseppe Montalto,he was a yard and garden master. His neighbor,one of the Trifelettis,he used one of those push mowers,and my grandfather,well,he just hated that Triffeletti used one! Those hand pushed mowers,they require effort,but they give back. I salute you Lovely Linda,for using one. Honestly? Old man Triffeletti kinda won that battle with my grandpa😂

[@LindaVater]

Love this story!

[@juneramirez8580]

My favorite butterfly bush is the blue one I bought on Lowe's clearance. Wasn't sure how it would do in the Low Arizona desert, but it is doing wonderfully and growing for its second year in my yard. I love the grass in the front of your home, it is just so beautiful what a wonderful improvement from what was there when you first moved in! I am going out today to buy a battery blower for my yard because I hate having to deal with 100 ft electric cords to blow the debris from my acre. I am 72 and soon starting radiation for throat cancer and I need to be able to make my life as easy as possible at this point. Just recently bought a battery powered lightweight weed wacker that I just love. Wish I could grow blueberries but it's has always been a failure in the low desert for me

[@amygosiorowski9101]

So amazing how you have transformed a blank boring yard with HOT HOT sun into something amazing! Don’t look past the stunning transformation you have done and so quickly! Inspiring!

Hi Linda. Love the segment on the push mover. I have an old one with wooden handles given to me years ago. There is an attachment to catch the clippings if you don't want them embedded in the ground. Have a great day

I don’t want to Pat myself on the back but the moment you said you were putting grass on the hill I said she’s gonna get a push mower I hope you don’t mind but I’m living through you vicariously ,respect the mower.

Due to YOU, looked through a bunch of Baby Gems yesterday at Marvin's her in Alabama until I found one with ONE stem. Potted it up and added rock mulch. Looks great! Going to let it grow and then decide if I DARE begin the trimming process. Thanks for so much garden inspiration.

[@truthbetold2611]

I love the architecture structure of the castor plant. I grew several from seed on a berm behind my property and enjoyed seeing them waving behind a hedge on the rock wall (I don't have a back fence in order to better enjoy the mountain view). To my dismay, I was warned of their poisonous hazard if children accidently came in contact. To be safe, I took all of them out. In my next garden I will feature one castor plant in the center of a flower bed. That's how much I love it!

[@barbbirdyard]

That is so wonderful. You are not using a loud, gas guzzling lawnmower and using the push mower. I have one in my shed that I use occasionally.

[@user-fn8gz8nx3k]

In my previous home, I had a postage sized lawn. I loved the Fiskars reel mower that I purchased at Lowe's. Bonus: The folks at my local Lowe's put it together for me.

Hi Linda and Stewart Never doing the reel mow just like I’m never ironing my bed sheets. Nope never doing that! 😂but I will order your journal! That’s an ez one! I like taking my cut flowers and putting them in bud vases now! Or even just greenery. I love the natural look of your enormous window box. Nice to be able to see it from inside too! It will be great with twinkle lights at Christmas ! O heck put some solar ones in there now and see it sparkle at night! Now there’s some fun thing to do. I like to do my chair yoga under my sunsetter shade in the garden. As soon as I get a new timer I will have the water fountain going too. Ahhh zen times! ❤🥰

Linda, you were so proud that your wheeler mower was “ecologically friendly”; but then your next fun item was a blower which creates NOISE POLLUTION. That presented a moment of dichotomy! I strictly sweep my walks and enjoy the exercise it brings me.

But I saw those Cranberry Creek boxwoods, and put them in my cart when I saw you post them. By the time I got into the house after gardening all day, sold out. I did find some at Home Depot online, and order, they were delivered two days ago and hey are huge. I absolutely love how this front garden has come together, BEAUTIFUL!
