What I Do Daily in my Garden

[@dolores4793]

Linda I try to watch a video of you every morning. You share so much garden wisdom with us. I am learning with your videos on how to use potted plants in my small garden. Thank you for sharing with us a little information about your daily earrings and your clothing that you wear. I also enjoy seeing certain areas of your home and how you decorate using items from your garden. Linda you are a true blessing to us all. I do believe that if our world leaders would walk through a garden at least once a day there would be more peace in this world.

[@LindaVater]

I would definitely vote for that!

[@nithushisamaranayake5713]

I talk to my plants every morning and tell them how beautiful they are and the joy they bring to me..

[@wilnellialima9944]

❤

[@jomoney465]

me too ! how much I appreciate the beauty and life that they bring into my life ! I also tell them I am committed to them and will take care of them, so keep on growing and don't stop out of fear of not enough food or water cause I got you ! ha

[@suesilva5252]

I love that a walk through your garden reveals a delight around every corner. It must bring you endless joy ❤️

[@LindaVater]

That it does!

Stewart is an excellent photographer.

I dried my hydrangeas one fall. Then at Christmas I sprayed them gold and silver. Had huge arraignments and used some in a wreath. I like natural stuff at Holidays then I don’t store anything in basement.

[@LindaVater]

You and I were separated at birth!

[@jodabney4358]

I'm only 73, but a few years ago I had to clear out my beds because it just became too much to care for even on a daily basis. I'm so glad I did because I can now not be overwhelmed by my favorite place in the world...my gardens

[@LindaVater]

I love looking at you in your beautiful space

[@ldolan1802]

Zone 9 here…love these walk abouts! I go out and see if I’m winning the war against snails and slugs! Lol! I spray myself down with OFF and off I go to water, water, water. I have many containers and it’s too hot not to water them daily right now. I pull weeds, prune here and there and just enjoy the birds singing, being out with nature. 😎 (I also sit in my “bistro” and watch your videos! 😉)

[@teresasathoff2677]

that s brilliant to have plants soak in the bird bath before planting!

[@janetsmith6716]

I live just north of you in Kansas, zone 6. Early in the morning, before it gets HOT, I enjoy weeding and deadheading my daylilies. Yes, I know, they don't need to be deadheaded but I like removing the spent blooms - lol! I have several containers of Supertunia Vista Bubblegum that are looking full and fabulous!! My Quick Fire Hydrangea is blooming beautifully! I'm so excited how my Little Limelight Hydrangea's are coming along! The row of lavender I planted in front of the Little Limelight's have been blooming and so fragrant!! After the minus 29 degree temperatures we had in February, I feel so happy and blessed that I have a flower garden at all!! I so enjoy your channel!

[@esthercha5646]

Linda… You are awesome.. God bless you.

[@tesssilba9078]

Thanks for the walk about Linda & BFF Stewart ! Here’s an idea… Move your earthy wooden bench in front on your huge beautiful hydrangeas . This way the hydrangeas can continue to grow and be the “ super stars “ that they want to be. Then your wooden bench can be enjoyed as a graceful, useable, restful seating area in your garden again. I feel the wooden bench will look fantastic on the brick, without hiding it between the hydrangeas. Try it you might love it !

[@LindaVater]

Yes!

[@martihurford]

Love Echinaceas. I have about 10 varieties growing in all different areas of my gardens. I’m in zones 5a and 6b for my zip code, 48381, in Michigan. I don’t cut them back until early spring so I can have some winter interest and food for any Bluejays, Cardinals, or Goldfinches that are around.

[@ronstader7976]

Lynne here, Linda, you have given me so much more than information. You’ve given me a reason………. I love my garden but sometimes I feel out of my depth. You give me the confidence to just do it. I’m so excited for all the things I have planned. I love the plant supports and baskets in your line . Can i get these in Canada? I’ve bought an old window which I’ll paint and use in the garden. It was free on Kijiji. Seeing your thrift finds makes me want to go thrifting for garden treasure. Thanks again.

[@dianewerley1632]

I bought the thumb control sprayer, you had talked about it in an earlier video, and I love it! So easy to turn off as I move from one planter to another on my porch. I demonstrated to my 85 yr old dad, who still plants a vegetable garden, and he really liked it. So he’s getting one for Father’s Day! (Zone 6a Western PA).

[@LindaVater]

Smart you👍

[@cherylheywood7902]

Diane Werley, can you please tell me what that sprayer is specifically called ? I can’t find it on Amazon. Thanks!

[@bethheerten1132]

I'm sitting on my front porch with a cup of coffee enjoying your video and watching the bird feeder. I heard blue jays calling and paused your video do I could look for them as they rarely come to the front yard. They prefer the pond out back. Realized they were in your yard.🤣

My husband loves to tease me about talking to the Jays that visit my deck. I told one the other day not to make a mess with his peanuts because I had just cleaned up the deck.

[@margaretchiodo-keller4495]

Every day of the week I concentrate on that garden, and make sure everything is in order, and properly maintained.

[@carolking6355]

Your garden is wonderful. What a joy. I too have a lovely garden but it is going a bit the worse for wear. I used to be up at 6 am watering. How I loved that time. I can’t do that now and my husband died a year ago so I have had irrigation put in. It’s not the same. I knew my plants. I would deadhead or squeeze aphids. But I still order plants. Just Joey is a rose I have had 2 years. After 60 years it is my favourite. It is a joy to watch you tend your plants.

Every morning, I love to walk around my garden in zone 8. I love to water my garden. So I usually have to water hanging g baskets and some of my pots but I check. I dehead every day as I wear. Love to watch the sunrise.

[@Glengirl17]

I’m in western Washington Z8b and our springs are cool and wet. I’m a quarantine boom again gardener so I have to find motivation to brave the damp and get outside. A new daily practice for me is bringing flowers inside every day. I have picked 5 spots inside my home to display flowers (2 medium, 3 smaller). Every morning I go out in search of replacements for whichever one is fading. Sometimes it’s quite the task but I find myself using a lot of things I would have never considered a “cut” flowers. This also gets me looking at all my pots and beds daily.

[@rozannemanzi24]

I always learn something new from your tours. Love the expression “ thug out” lol.

[@lincasteel-butler531]

Glad the tape is working for you. I know it has for me for years. I use it with the irrigation connection to the faucet too. I look everyday what needs attention, what needs weeding, what needs moved.

[@LindaVater]

Thank you so much for the recommendation

[@lunakat2755]

Watching your videos make me realize how much I can plant in dappled light. My back yard has very large trees that keeps the yard shaded with dappled light the whole day. I’ve lived here a couple of years and have always felt that not much would grow in the shade. Looks like I am wrong! Now I’m gonna get to work!

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

Have you ever done a video on fertilizers? I am overwhelmed by all the different fertilizers, and I’m afraid to use them on my plants. Could you maybe give some good brands and how much to use, when to use, etc.? Thanks! Those huge hydrangea blooms are amazing!

[@shannonwilhelm5320]

Honestly after working two jobs and trying to keep my vanity on a daily, I watch your KZbin videos. I think about okay when can I water my plants. I think what needs pruning or what can I plant next. I think I should get a retractable water hose. I think about not work in flower garden but how it’s my escape. My garden shows my work and that feels like an accomplish when two jobs don’t feel like accomplishment. I think it’s good to make your own environment the best way for yourself to enjoy life.

[@lynnb1941]

Oxford, UK. What I do daily? If I'm not working, I take my morning cup of English Breakfast Tea out into the garden and take a walk around to see how everything is developing, check on self seeders, new emergers etc. I know my garden like the back of my hand. There literally is something new to catch my eye each day. If I'm working, I take an afternoon cup of French Earl Grey/ Darjeeling tea for the same walk when I get home. I do this literally every day, and there is a different flavour cup of tea for different times of the day. It soothes and settles me. The job I love (probably a bit too much) is pulling out bindweed roots. It's like therapy! I've slowly pulled out some that are literally 3-4 foot long without them snapping! As always, love the video and your inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your garden with us.😁

Always a highlight of my day walking about with you in your beautiful garden!!!

[@beverlybates9696]

I'm so glad you mentioned the Snowflake hydrangea. My very favorite. I worked at Aldridge Gardens in Hoover, AL which was the former home of Eddie Aldridge, local nurseryman. Eddie and his dad found the one in a million seedling which was different from its mother native oak leaf. They dug it up and began propagating it through cuttings since it is a sterile plant. He patented the Snowflake so it would be well known. It is now found all over the world. He took no royalties for it. Eddie was a sweet man who passed away about 3 years ago.

[@No.DROUGHT.about.IT.]

All your hard work shows. Your garden is glorious and the structure is comforting. I absolutely love crassula undulata (wavy jade). It grows in a beautiful mounding form; the color and texture adds so much. Now that I'm obsesses with topiaries and boxwood spheres, you inspired me to use the jade as a boxwood alternative in my hot SoCal zone 10 drought tolerant garden. Just patiently waiting for it to grow into a bigger globe. BTW... my daily garden routine is basically the same as yours: check/harvest food garden, water pots/hanging baskets, deadhead, weed and feed. I like the tip of trimming the sedums to thicken and re-root. I started gardening during COVID. My first love were/are succulents. My style and preferences have already evolved to topiaries, evergreens, foliage and creating a more harmonious design. I keep discovering new things about myself and my garden. To answer one of your previous questions....I wouldn't change a thing about my garden. I needed to go through my own evolution and journey to get where I am today. I suspect this will be an on-going process and I welcome it. Even though my "Hubs" keeps asking me, "When will you be finished?" Answer: "I will never be finished; only finished for This Season". I will learn from your journey and plan for a small green house/she-shed.

Loved walking your garden with you! My daily walk has me doing the usual weeding and dead heading. I also check my bird feeders and fill my bird bath with fresh water. The birds being me joy. My raised bed contains my herbs and they get water and trimmed and picked and brought inside to use and enjoy the smell in my kitchen. Watering here in zone 7 is the biggest issue in our hot summer.

I'm so glad I discovered your videos. It's been great getting to know you and your gardens. It's been inspiring and I also enjoyed the videos of other gardens. On days I'm not going to spend in the garden I try to drive around in my golf cart. We have 5 acres so for quick assessment of the gardens the cart is a big help. Usually once in the morning and again before dark. I have my tote with scissors and hand pruners, a couple of watering cans and a 5 gal bucket of water for when I find a plant in dire need of a drink. I also started bringing a pen and notebook to write down things that need attention, plants I may want to move, spaces that need filling, pruning and the like. I also carry large craft sticks and a paint marker to identify specific colors of day lily or other plants that I may want to move or divide. Knowing what color they are helps. I try to stop and pull up weeds and oak seedlings as I go. On evenings in the summer I like to walk through the front gardens ending in one of the seating areas to just relax and maybe watch the sunset.

In my area we have odd/even watering days plus early/late time restrictions and unfortunately that causes some plants stress. So what I did was install a moveable water mister to use on my delicate plants so they will survive the heat waves as needed. I too, move around with my clippers to do ongoing cleanup of my plants; my tip on the deadheading is I have large empty nursery containers hidden here & there to put the clippings in and later just collect them to toss in the compost.

My ears are always listening for things people say that could be taken differently, in an amusing way. In today's video, Linda interjects a remark that's kind of amusing if considered as one thought (which might occur if someone were just listening and not seeing what Linda was actually doing!) "I planted these and they were really pitiful, this is why I always carry snips…." Watch out you pitiful plants if you see Linda roaming with her snips... LOL When I was growing up, one of my mother's best friends lived next door to a woman with a beautiful garden who was a very nasty person. My mom's friend used to say that even the plants were terrified of this woman. She said she thought the woman would come out every morning and say, "Attention!" and all of the plants would raise their heads and stand tall, not wanting to incur her wrath! LOL

[@marthahoffmann8674]

Hi Linda, I don't use scissors. I do the same with the Rhododendron flowers after blooming. Go to the base of dead Geranium and Pelargoni blooms directly with your nail. Is a tedious job but it works. I never use a scissors to dead head these type of flowers and never half way. I have used this technique for more than three decades. I learned it from my neighbors here in Germany. Try it. Never fails. It regenerates right away and the flowers come out much sooner than waiting for the steal to dry and fall out. 👋

It sure makes a difference when putting up the hose after watering. It's quick and so much easier than gathering up the hose to store. I think my son's got them for me from Lowe's.

How wonderful that you have something that works and is good looking too!
