    Your neighbors have done a wonderful job on their gardens. The attention to detail makes all the difference. It’s amazing what they have done to overcome last years ice storm. The people who say ‘get over it’ have not experienced a traumatic event. I know you’re not joking when you say you have PTSD from it. I was in New Orleans for Katrina 16 years ago. I now live an hour west of NOLA. I thought I was completely over the trauma, but when I visited friends after Hurricane Ida this summer It felt like Katrina happened last week. You should talk it out as often as you need to, Linda. Thank you for sharing your home and garden with us.

    I can understand how at first glance the stone wouldn't be a favorite, but I can also see how it could grow on you. Sydney and Tommy have done a beautiful job and given so much thought to how to tie elements and colors together. I love the back patio and the choice of planters. My favorite trees were the cedars in the back...amazing!🤩 Thanks for sharing!😊

    I like the stone itself for the most part. What I find annoying are the sections where small pieces of stone are bunched together. That and the dark cement/grout between the stones. It looks worse under the porch/entry where it appears even darker. 😑

    Wow! I am impressed with all they've done with their landscape in such a short time. I'm envious of all those mossy rocks. If I could offer a minor suggestion to help with the front steps choke point. I love the geometric planters, but maybe take away one to widen the entrance. Perhaps the smaller one closer to the Blue Atlas tree since that already provides visual weight. I love the blue, purple color scheme. I may steal the idea of pouring concrete pavers in place. There must be some preparation underneath that prevents them from sinking.

I’m in a much colder zone in Canada but I so appreciate seeing your gardens , I watched it twice to see it all again. I would have liked hearing more details from you both.

Tommy and Sidney are you able to tell us how you attached the grid at the top of the fence? I also love the hanging baskets with the brackets. The purple pansies throughout the front and back provide cohesiveness to both gardens. So much pride and joy. I am hoping we can also get a peek into this historic home with a look at some of Sidney's thrifted items. Love from sunny Sydney, Australia.
