Attach a flag to your "fake door" side of your cottage. That way it's not overwhelming your front porch area, but you can see it from the side street, as well as, at your 4 way stop in front of the cottage. Visitors could enjoy it, too, walking to your backyard. It could, also, be swapped out seasonally, if you so choose.

❤ this idea

No on the flag pole. Flags in the urns look festive and great. Definitely less is more in this situation.

Small, meaningful touches. Unless flags are lit at night, they’re supposed to be taken inside. The joy of celebrating becomes another ‘have to’ job. You do you, Linda.

I like those smaller flags and the Americana bows. They're perfect touches. One idea is to attach red, white, and blue swags from your wrought iron porch railing. I vote no big flag -- too much.

No flag poles. What you have out for the holiday is all you need.

Small flags for a cottage garden….good idea. Wow, your grass also looks great !

The Veronica you brought from your last house could be “First Memory”. Thank you for sharing your glorious garden !😊

Great video! Thanks Linda!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful cottage with us. It was beautiful your plans for gorgeous and you did a wonderful job on your video. Thanks so much for sharing my dear friend.

Wow!! Linda works out!

This information is pure gold, @Linda! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me/ us !

I love the black eyed Susans they just give so much color to the garden and I’m trying to build a cottage garden also but I like a lot of variety of but I also like plants that don’t take a lot of care and can handle our hot summers here in Southern, California, black-eyed Susans come back every year. They’re doing great in my garden.

I have flown my flag high and proudly for 52 years now! Not once did I wonder if it ,fit my home or not ! My New England design is quite fitting,for our Nation’s symbol.

Great Tips. I have incorporated some of the plants listed in my garden....but now I have more to add.

Yes, I would keep all of the flags right where they are! You must be busy enough getting ready for your trip to Scotland. I have been busy working quite a bit out in the garden and today removed a large stone before I could go on installing. Will certainly get help from our landscaping service mulching. Thanks, for showing all of the drought tolerant plants in your garden that have grown well.

Very helpful list, I already have some of them. Thanks Linda

Hi, Linda. Thank you for your video. ❤

🌳THANKS🌳

Very lovely garden be bless ❤

I’m with you Linda. I also go for the “cottage garden” style, and every year I choose small flags in the two pots filled with geraniums flanking my front door. I think it’s just perfect and not too much for my style of home and garden.

I need the name of the item and where to order it. I couldn’t read the label. It was at the beginning of the video today. It was in small packets. Also, please give the address for the vegetables and flowers you can buy on yesterday’s video. I never heard the address or the town it is located. I couldn’t make out the name of the place. Thanks Linda. I appreciate the extra videos you have prerecorded while you are in Scotland. Please take care of yourself. 🌻🌸🌺🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Linda we love all of your videos. I try to go back and like the videos.

I do like the daisies also I always like to add some white into my garden here and there and everywhere. It makes all the other colors pop I think.

No flag pole! Most people don't respect the care they require.

So true 😢😢 it’s sad . The leave it out 24/7 no lights

I like a flag on the house, but i live in a Colonial style house, and put up bunting too. I have studied American founding history and fly a flag because I am an America, not for current political reasons. My grandfather was Navy WWIi and my Dad airforce in 1950's. Great hot weather plants. My delicate flowers are over this heat.

No, to the flagpole. Garden looks gorgeous.

I love seeing a big flag displayed but it is work as should be lit at night and I think if it is raining it should be taken inside. I love how you have the cottage decorated with your small flags and bows. Safe travels!

Love this redo style, please film more. I’m still sad about the removal of your former Potage’ , however, admire your description reference to it and hope to present myself in a similar way when I have to reference a nostalgic memory. As we gracefully age, moving forward and not getting stuck is a secret written in “The Well Lived Life” a book authored by Gladys McGarey M.D., who is 103 years old and flourishing. I pray you are safe and enjoying Scotland. See you after the 4th. ❤❤❤

I love your blond hair I’m overdue for a weave been sick with strep throat. I love the honey I’m out waiting for my order soon. Enjoy your time in Scotland can’t wait to see what you bring us.

Yes! You absolutely need an American Flag ! How about on the South East side of the cottage? It would be seen on the south side and the east! That is the only thing your home is missing!!!!! Forget the little flags!!!! I Love all the plants that your chose to pick as the great plants for a hard summer.! Enjoy your trip!!!! I really wanted to go with you !!!! Have a wonderful, safe journey!!!! Love you !

Nope. No flagpole. This video has some great suggestions that I hope to try next growing season. Right now we are in the midst of a heatwave and temps are over 110. Just trying to keep things alive.

Do not like flag poles, fortunately in Australia, rarely see them.

I understand the aesthetics of a flag, but flags aren't meant just for decor. It is a statement of support. Some prefer to express that with a larger flag, either on a stand attached to house or a free-standing pole. I just fly the flag for official holidays; some choose to display it every day,. To each their own.

I agree a flag pole would be too much for the cottage. It would detract.

I would love to taste the honey, but ts kind of pricey for me. Yes, always to a flag . A flag pole is a lot... but I have a flag attachment on my home and fly the flag every day . My son was in the Marine Corp for 21 years. So its for him, and all who serve . All gave some, some gave all. Have a safe, happy trip.

Would love to know more about your jeans, too. Great video!!

I like the small flags.. I love your jeans

Chocolate chip cookies are healthy. We would not be here if they weren't. That's my story.😂❤

NO flag pole. Love the little flag touches around the cottage in planters.

Its hard to go wrong in the heat with perennials. Can you make one focused on shrubs?

I have some purple cone flowers that were pink when I originally bought them. They have been in the landscape 3 or 4 seasons. They get really tall and leggy. Any suggestions to keep them more compact? Maybe it’s just a variety that grows taller than other varieties. I’m in zone 7b, northwest Georgia.

Do you bring in and shelter your boxwoods in pots during freezing temps? You have so many I wondered.

Agree with Stuart and Leah-- no flagpole. It would detract more than it would add, IMHO. The smaller flags on meaningful national holidays are perfect and in keeping with the period and style of the cottage.

I didn’t see the link for the honey. Would you point that out please?

The dear ate my sedium 😡, I like the little flags. Summer hasn’t even started here on Vancouver Island, BC. It’s been “Junuary”

Oh my goddess you just mentioned you were going to Scotland I want to go I need to go as it is my gift to my dad who passed away in December to connect with our heritage would you be so kind as to give me any tips on how to get there where to stay what travel Authority would help in that or anything else you might find helpful for me I am a first time traveler thank you so much I love what you do

I think it it’s up to the individual person if they wanna flag pole or not.

Linda, did you stand still for a minute and got tagged?!

You could easily put up a flag pole on your house. My husband was a veteran and believes you should display the American flag 365 days a year to show your love of this country and to honor the men and women who fought for this country and those that died to keep us free, not just on a few certain holidays. I think the American flag is beautiful!

No flag pole. Less is more. It is Canada Day today and I have small flags in my potted planters.

No flag pole. A little flag goes a long way.

I like the flag poles, no matter what.

Yeh a flag pole might be too much.

You could just hang a beautiful flag and some red white and blue decorations over the railing by the door. It would be sooo beautiful yet elegant.

No to the flag pole!

Maybe it's time to stop talking about your other house

Snacks and flags. Where is the plant info? Waste of time.

I am disappointed to hear political ads, I come here to escape from the political banter.

Flag pole...OMG...unless you are a mega Trump supporter...stay away.
