Agree on the music...I talk to and stroke the plants as well and talk to the lizards scampering through the foliage...awesome choice on the figs btw, I have 2 trees in my yard and they are both fruiting, love their leaves. Wish I could grow lavender, but Florida is just too hot, it's a real chore figuring out what will grow well here, but I've learned a lot in 2 years, lots of native plant nurseries and plants for permiculture food growing, Seminole pumpkins and sweet potatoes are on the menu, but so much is edible and fun to discover...you always put me in the mood to go back out for another hour of the scorching heat...then back in to the air conditioning...have a great weekend as well...!

Sitting with my tea & toast, I watched this early morning inspiration for my newly designed pebble and container garden. After preparing the plot, and sorting out the surface area, I am frozen into inactivity, I have been dithering about choosing plants. I'm calling it The Japanese Garden, but every day it gets a new title. I'm starting with a lovely acer,. Not just because it's Japanese, but because I love them. But I think having a theme is getting in the way as it's discounting plants I absolutely love, and also limiting the number of plants I can have. So I'm throwing the theme ( and all titles) out the window. Thank you, Chip, for this much-needed shot in the arm. I think I'm off to buy a fig.

It's 9.25 am in Trinidad 🇹🇹. And, I'm having a meditation while watching you.. 🧘🏾‍♀️. My plants are in for quite a wetting today..lol🫠😆🙃

Hi there 🤠 thank you very much for your lovely message .. have a wonderful day and all the best 🌱 Chip

La feuille de figuier a un parfum extraordinaire🎉. Ses racines aussi… dans le sud de la France on évite de le planter près d’un mur, il déformerait ses fondations. Mais je crois comprendre que dans ce cas présent, il n’est pas destiné à prendre toute son ampleur ? En ce qui concerne la lavande , effectivement elle vieilli mal; mais une bonne taille annuelle,à la fin de la floraison, en arrondi, en évitant lede tailler dans le « bois » de l’année pour qu’elle puisse refleurir, est une bonne technique de durabilité. De plus elle se bouture facilement et cela fait une bonne réserve de remplacement sans surcoût !😊 J’aime beaucoup ce style de jardin que vous avez créé, du charme, facile à entretenir, avec un esprit méditerranéen ❤

💦 beautiful just beautiful 🎶🎵

Fig! Inspired idea ❤ If the lavender doesn't work out , you can always switch ... The contrast of leaf texture and colour is great. Wish my garden looked like that.😊 Will start talking nicely to the plants...and give them a good shower to music. Thanks Chip

Beautiful, you are an artist. "into the garden I go to free my mind and ease my soul".

Thanks Chip! What a beautiful courtyard you are creating! I love it! And the cat is the icing on the cake… we had a pure black cat a few years ago. We called her PussPuss. She’s gone now… and we miss her. 😎🇨🇦

Chip your designs are brilliant. Love the rusty obelisks and corrugated pots really lend themselves to a rustic but masculine look. Beautiful. "It rust we must trust," See you and Gipsy next time.

Hi Barbara and thank you for your concern 🤠 I intend to Topiaries the two Figs I planted , I thought I mentioned this in the vlog .. I maybe should have been clearer.. they will only be allowed to get 10ft tall and no wider than two feet .. and all foliage will be pruned away up to 5ft from the ground.. so they will be large Bonsai 👍🏼 🤭 giggle Hope that puts your mind at peace ✌🏻 🌱 Chip
