Me, too! Also, Linda, is that Pegasus Begonia that is blooming behind you? If so, please share your secrets to get it to bloom. TY!

Who else gets excited when a Linda video pops up?

My style crush is on Linda Smith Davis from New England Fine Living. Vintage, antiques, moody, beautiful colors, not minimal but not cluttered.

Linda, You are not only a gifted gardener, you are also a master wordsmith. I swear you could describe an old, ratty, white T-shirt with flair and appreciation. I am learning so much from you and just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your channel. You are a joy to watch. ❤️

I love the KZread channel Homeworthy. They tour different home and while many may not be my style , I really enjoy the love relationship people have with their homes. My favorite is Ruth McKeaney’s home Hillside Farm. It’s a love story of their family ...a wonderful, cozy home that I find beautiful. The episode is called A Pennsylvania Farm with rolling hills and a historic home. It’s a delightful tour and I think you’d enjoy watching it. I also believe she came out with a style book.

Your terra cotta pots looks beautiful the way they are arranged and looks good between two trees. Great area for them!

Sorry for another comment but I just had time to finish this video. Arborists don't cut limbs off straight because it's bad for the health of the tree. A level cut will hold moisture and in time rot the tree. Arborists cut limbs off at an angle so rain water runs off and doesn't settle into the cut.

Yeah, I’ve heard that too. You could always add a wedge underneath the pot to level it out. That would protect the tree.

It is a very hard decision to pick just one designer crush, Linda, BUT Sarah Richardson has been a favorite of mine since "the olden days" when there was a Fine Living Channel on TV. Suzie Anderson Home (Australia) has such exquisite visual content on youtube that it is worth watching her channel. Really. And, her voice is so soothing it melts stress away.

“But wait!” Was this as funny to anyone else? I thought it was so cute. You have a great sense of humor and playfulness Linda! ❤😂😂

My style crush is P Allen Smith and his amazing Moss Mountain Farm.

You are my style crush Linda. You manage to pull me out of the deepest darkness almost all the time and inspire me to do better be it mood gratitude clothing style or garden inspiration. Thank you

Ditto! I need to go shopping!

Well now, I have always had " a crush " on Charlotte Moss, Bunny Williams, Carloyn Roehm. All have the best of taste not only interior but gardening as well.

You could turn a terra cotta pot over to cover up clean out and then set another plant on top and incorporate it into to your stairs. Or spray paint it to blend in :)

I love the placement of your terra cotta pots!!! Your furniture and the fence and the blue grey tones of topiary’s have a very restful feeling!! Love seeing your back yard

the the pouring of pumpkin color stacks is just lovely!

This was such a fun time together with 2 of my style crushes, and on my birthday! Linda and Leah, you made my day! Stewart you always chime at just the right moment. Everything looks fantastic, Linda! At first I was not sure about the "throw rugs" but now wish I had them instead of my flagstone patio. They are so unique!

Can we all agree that another of Linda's signature touches is the catchy theme music from all of her segments.

My style crushes -- besides you, Linda, Bunny Williams and Martha Stewart. I think their styles transcend time and continue to inspire and motivate anyone of any age who is looking for a deep understanding of how home decor and gardening create a place that is balanced in elegance and livability.

I love Lone Fox's home designs and decor.

At the end of each of your videos, I find myself smiling. Thank you!

Linda, I am definitely getting the journal! However, I will cover it with waxed Paper to keep it pretty, water resistant, and can still see the beautiful design! Something my Grandmother taught me to do with books back in the 60"s.

The placement of the terra cotta pots on the bookshelf next to the fence is perfect! Accessable and good looking display. My style crush is my dear friend Joanie. She is an artist with a great sense of style and color. She has decorated her tiny home beautifully and created several garden rooms and patios in her yard that offer beauty and serenity for visitors. She is a lovely person and good friend.

I so appreciate your comments about the importance of friendships, always encouraging each of us to be a good friend and to enjoy the security of close friends. The entire video was so informative today. Thanks Linda, Leah and Stewart! Linda from NE ( turn the pots upside down or you're likely to befriend mice this winter; your shelf may be their new apartment building ! :)

Style crush: my mother, whom I lost a little over three years ago at the age of 93. She was a wonderful example and influence throughout my life (even, looking back now, when I didn’t realize it, or want to realize it). She had a lovely and often unique sense of grace and style in everything she did, whether it be home decor, fashion, conversation, or just her presence in the room. I think of her almost every day, but not in a sad way any longer. I miss her, but I “see” her in more of my own style and sense now more than ever.

How sweet!

Leah could be your daughter, Linda! The backyard sure is looking elegant and sophisticated. btw-I added a terra-cotta theater to my garden this season because of YOU!! Thanks for all you share with us!

Black table with holes would be a great potting table. Build wooden box underneath so dirt falls though to collect potting soil to reuse. Placed on upper side of terra cotta pots. Kinda out of the way. Always neat!

Cover your terracotta pot display with a weather friendly cover, similar to a cover used for outdoor furniture. It might be custom, but with correct measurements and velcro or a couple of corner zippers, you could leave your pots in place all year round. A great investment of time and preservation. ❤

I was thinking the same. Something insulated. I agree, it would be so worth it.

After you, my style crush is Brooke Giannetti of Patina Farm, Velvet and Linen.

You are so right about having a reliable person who will pickup the phone when you call. It requires both give and take, but especially since we live so far away from people/ loved ones, the phone has become our emotional lifeline! Thanks for bring it up.

I think that wrought iron table is the perfect height and size for a potting table, which you will need:))

Style crush - Linda Smith Davis. And, you, of course!

Oh my look at that begonia😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🍁🍂🫶🏼

My style guru was Charles Faudree🌺

The terracotta planters arranged on the shelf between the two trees look great. Loving the pop of color to that area.

Your videos are the first one that I watch in my KZread lineup. Love ALL the content, however, Stewart does add a whimsical note to them. I refer to his "window reflection hand wave". Hi Stewart! Love the scarf, especially the "Hell YA!". Leah, I may have to borrow that.

I'm in love with your terracotta pot display. I look forward to watching every viedo you make and copy your style every chance i get. Love you BIG Linda you have such an amazing eye for design.

I love Carla Rockmore because she’s so over the top and makes it all look so Chic. Plus, I have never seen a more beautiful closet as hers. Please check it out. I also love the way you dress and decorate because you do it with thrifted items and make them look so stylish. My favorite, most treasured items are all thrifted.

love Carla as well!

The staging of the terracotta pots next to the fence looks nice, though I'd be afraid of our high winds breaking them. You are right, it will make working so easy and convenient.

Style crush - Trinny Woodall so effortless; interior design - Sarah Richardson; cottage life - Linda Vater; gardening - Leslie Harris and LV 🎉

My crush , Linda Vater, because of all the lovely home designs with all things from your travels and hunts in antique and thrift stores. Love all the great ideas of how to style all your finds. Thanks for inspiring me❤❤❤❤❤

The hardscape part is just in harmony, so whatever Linda is decorating within, the outcome is pretty much coherent and looks so great 👍. Always admire your humanity appeals by reminding everyone to support and help other people in times of difficulties and crises. Big hearted Linda ❤

A Bird House Would also be darling on your Tree stump.

Hi Linda my name is Lisa Mendoza from Trinidad and Tobago. I love watching your channel. It is so amazing how you transform and develop your garden in such a short time. I just love watching you ❤❤

You are the Alexandra Stoddard of the 2020’s! ♥️

Oh the back yard garden is beautiful!!!!🪴🌵🪴

I found the podcast very interesting, thank you for sharing! You & your sister resemble one another visually, as well as voice modulation & phrases!

My style crush is a tv show i watched as a child. I now love the clothes that Samantha wore on the Bewitched tv show. And more recently since I found Linda Vater on utube --- i love your style in clothes & being in my early 60's it makes it even neater because you are also in your 60's.

I love shopping clothes at the thrift stores --- for never know what you will find & at reasonable prices. I often get complimented on my tops & they are almost always a thrift store find :D

For a gardening lifestyle… Britain’s Sarah Raven! Linda, I am so glad you are to the “putzing” stage … it’s just the best! Enjoy! You’ve done the hard work and done it well! 💐

I would turn the saucers upside down so when it rains and freezes they don't crack.

Brilliant idea for the pots...love it!

Good idea about finding/ having a reliable friend !

I LOVE the shelf against the fence to display your terra cotta pot collection, it looks fabulous there! And the compost tumbler looks good where it is too. Maybe the table currently under the window could become a potting table? A potting table is one thing I do not have now but is on the short list for sure!

Meg sounds awesome!

A good idea for a botomless basket (like the one on your tree) would be to put it over the white plumbing pipe at the bottom of your back stairs. Or, any bottomless urn , etc...

I love your terra cotta pot display! So fun to move about for visual seasonal interest.

Love all the gadgets👍😊

I just love your terra pot shelves, what a great idea. Where I live in PA I would not be able to leave them out all winter. If we have a really cold winter they would break but I am thinking of a neat storage idea in my basement! Thanks for your fun videos.

Sadly he's passed away but Robert Kime. I also love Bunny Williams style

My style crush is the designer Bunny Williams 🥰

It’s so relaxing watching your show on Saturday 👍🏼I learn something every time about style or garden ideas👏🏼Lea is so cute & love her personality 🤩

I see an Angle wing Begonia behind you. I just found out,when it stops putting out the larger blooms,you need to remove the spiral like blossoms,that are called the females. As soon as I did that,the big Male blooms came on fast.

I’m trying to visualize the spiral like blossoms. I’ve had them in the past but not this year. Thanks for this info!

I can’t wait for morning to arrange my terracotta pots. Love yours too much!

Love terra cotta. It looks really nice. Good place for them

The back yard is so cozy and welcoming.. Love your style in front and back

Hi Linda. I Love Love the shelf with the pots on it 💕💕💕👍. Great idea 💡

I love the storage for your pots, so cute!! As usual to taste is impeccable!!❤❤

Everything is just so beautiful😍

Linda. Your back yard looks great. You have done such a beautiful job decorating it. It looks so nice. Everything has come together so nicely.

Oh my gosh I so love this back area! ❤❤❤ totally inspiring!

I just found you..I see YOU as my new style Guru! Love everything you do!!!!

I really love love love everything

I absolutely love this video. It felt warm and fuzzy like the season we are getting in. Thanks for all the product ideas and book referrals! 🙌🏽🥰💚

Hi, Linda. Thank you for your video. Welcome. ❤

You can relocate that metal table to my house, I just love the size of it and the two tiers! 😄 Your terra cotta display looks fantastic and draws the eye over to that area. Great idea to cut off that stump for a plant!

Loved those beautiful green pumpkins styled along the steps. Also, I have a weeping juniper in the ground, that the former owners had planted, and topped off at about 4 feet. It looked like cousin it. I took after it, and ended up with a very pretty topiary that has a somewhat rounded top flaring into a windswept skirt with edges like yours. The curved trunk requires support. I think of it as my giant bonsai. I was excited to see yours. Also have a Pom Pom blue cypress.

Tracy @Plaids and Poppies

Your topiary collection is living sculpture and so beautiful…you are my style idle…inside and out.

I do enjoy your back garden. It is looking green and lush and comfy. You just gave me an idea of what to do with all my many pots-love the shelf idea and storing them outside gives me more room inside. Your table will be a wonderful potting space.

I’m glad you’re cutting the tree level for a planter. I was going to suggest the same thing. The shelf is a perfect solution for storing and displaying your pot collection.

Love the shelves with your terra cotta collection. That's just what that area needed!

One think you could do is anchor it to the fence so it doesn't tip over if you have a hard rain and the ground shifts.

Love the terra cotta pot staging 🪴🥰🍂

Such great tips!

Your video is a breath of fresh cottage air. Excited to see how you've styled and organized your backyard.

Love the placement of the terra Cotta pots in the backyard! Perfect as a display of your collection of pots and a designated work area with a potting bench. Perfect!

You are one of my style crushes Linda. I have purchased more of the items you tell us about than I have any other. I am so grateful for the laundry room design as well. It is the perfect solution for my laundry room as well.

Loved seeing the perfect weather you are having, here on the east coast, we are dealing with Ophelia, a day full of much needed rain, could do without the wind, but we are near the mountains, so its mostly rain....so far more than two inches. But that backyard is amazing! Enjoy it!

Wonderful helpful video!! Love the 🎃

Oh. The outlet covers would be wonderful for Christmas decorations/lights too!

Hey there I am enjoying this video very much. I’m glad that you are almost to the finish line as far as the hard scape in your lovely cottage home also, in today’s video while sitting on the back steps, they look like the rings of trees that have been stacked up to makes the steps to your back door… Perfect

The shelves check all of the boxes.. cute And extremely functional ❤️❤️

Great video…great tips! I like the shelf and pots against the fence. Looks good there. Thanks for sharing the phone/watch charger. I Showed it to MY Hubs and he said, “ Oh! Please order me one.” 👍🏻

Style crushes-Linda Vater & Bunny Williams. Love your terra cotta pot “display”. Great combination of style and function. I also love anything blue gray, also anything chartreuse. I always look forward to your videos. They bring me great joy and wonderful ideas. You are a blessing, so talented. Thx for sharing your wonderful skills and creativity. Florida grandma-one of your biggest fans.

I have a style crush on you. Linda. From the house, garden, your dressing style, your flower arrangements. It has been a wonderful inspiration for me. I have incorporated many of your Christmas decor styles into my home. Thank you for the inspiration.

I was lucky enough to snag a beautiful wrought iron bakers rack to hold my terra cotta pots on my patio. Thank you for the inspiration to style it seasonally. ❤️ 🪴
