    I'll AMEN! this too. I've never read such nonsense and awful things people have said. Sydney has every right as the new homeowner to do what she and her husband want to their yard. And Linda...Yes she loved this house but she no longer lives here and is making her new home beautiful in her way. It is sad what people has said and will continue to say in their ignorance. These two women are friends and neighbors...it's the viewers of their channels that has tried their best to pit them against each other. I hope they can behave and stop with being ugly. Makes you ashamed of knowing these are actually grownups doing and saying these things. Good Grief!

    I have followed Linda's channel for years and always thought she had a beautiful garden; however, I absolutely love what you've done in YOUR GARDEN. I never knew how big the back yard was or how beautiful the back of the house is. Heck, I didn't even know that the garage was detached. What's the fun in maintaining someone else's garden? The best part of gardening is the planning, creating and watching your own space come to life over the years. You've got a great eye and your garden is really shaping up and looking fantastic! Happy Spring!

    Sydney, I love that you started with a new slate in terms of your vision for the front and back garden. It helped those of us working to make our gardens our own, and to redirect in changing what was before. Although I was the one who original planted willy nilly, I needed more cohesion and all season interest in my very small front and back patch. Thank you for all the hard work you and Tommy have put in and your generosity in sharing your vision and hard work. This season you can sit back and enjoy the past year's investment in the garden. Cheers🥂

Have you thought about loosening the soil a little around the center holly bush using a short stake with a strap to straighten. Same thing with the crooked juniper. Water good. It doesn't take long to correct. Love a fig tree. I planted Texas Everbearing and Brown Turkey Fig. Really taking off with our Texas spring rains. Can't wait. Have a great week.
