I’m going to comment on something you’ve said before and mentioned in this video. The aesthetics of your garden cannot be underestimated. It makes you happy. It makes you want to be I. Your garden even when it’s hard. It makes other people see your garden and smile about it, or ask questions. I already knew this. But this year I have a front yard filled with beautiful flowers. It started with the usual (snow drops and Lilly of the valley) and continued to a ground cover plant that I didn’t even know would have such beautiful flowers. It’s been flowering since early spring and doesn’t look like it wants to stop. I have foxgloves, larkspur, fuchsia, roses, I planted some pretty black petunias, and am thinking about adding some alyssum. Point being, it’s beautiful and full of flowers. It’s right in front of where I park. And no matter what kind of day I’ve had, if I pull in and catch sight of the flowers all over my front yard, I feel a burst of happiness. In this day and age that is VITAL to people working. I also have ADHD, which means that my happy brain chemicals don’t work right. I don’t get the usual feelings of happiness and satisfaction when I finish a job. So getting those happy chemicals, just coming back home, is so important. Thank you so much for continuing to talk about the importance of pretty plants. ❤️❤️❤️

I found another ADHD gardener! I didn't realize how much gardening would help my symptoms.

It helps mine as well, I sometimes just need something hard to focus on and digging out a rootball or planting things thst make me happy really help center me.

That is exactly what I’m trying to do with my 5 year old garden ! I have my channel so that I can follow it year after year . I really like how pretty your garden looks !

I love that in the beginning of the video I could see (presumably) your son running back and forth inside the house. lol. cute

Oh my goodness Angela that purple rose you have is stunning 💜💜

Happy Juneuary! This is one of those La Nina summers.

Recording in the rain is baller status 🥰🥰🥰

Great job. Hope it stops raining soon. Here in Corbett it is so mushy.

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing, it gives good feeling and inspiration!

I love watching your videos so much, thank you for each of them. Could I ask if the same planting arrangement would be suitable under a lemon tree in the ground?

I remember you showing how you put down a lot of woodchip mulch in the winter. How does that work with self seeding annuals? Do you leave those areas unmulched so they can come through?

Do you have any videos about edible mushrooms? This is extremely relevant to my interests! Thank you for all you teach me.

She does have some videos because she grows mushrooms. Just go to her video page and do a search (I haven't tried the search yet for that item, but have seen the videos).

I have a few. I grow Stropharia and have some very old videos on them. They are suuuuper happy and naturalized here and easy to grow. I also have morels but they appear sporadically.

@@ParkrosePermaculture thank you! I did a little googling and Morels seem to be a law unto themselves

Trying to address similar issues of function- beauty, utility, pollinators. I get overwhelmed by needing to get plants in the ground quickly, my aesthetic ideas verses natures. In my N. Idaho garden plants can disappear from voles or moose/deer(despite being deer resistant). Hollyhocks moved forward upsetting my height transition design, I stress over what weeds are beneficial/ medicinal. I guess my garden is a cross between Fukuoka wild and English cottage garden, which creates it's own aesthetic- hollyhocks next to mullein. Jazz improv gardening, but I don't have neighbors close by to please. Thanks for the videos

I planted a bonfire peach last year. Do you have any suggestions for what companion plants I should use around it to build a guild? Thanks.

How far from your house should you plant a fruit tree?

it depends on the type of tree, how aggressive its roots, where your water lines are, etc.
