What a delightful garden this dear lady left as a legacy. As a gardener, I can feel the joy and peace she could experience while spending her hours, days, weeks, months and years while cultivating the garden. And now, you are a part of her legacy too, Martin...a part of her story. I can feel the care and joy you feel as you restore the lovely lady's pride and joy. It is wonderful to see your skill and attention to details. 🌸🌼🌺 The new family moving in will get a lovely gift of this lady's garden...and your legacy too. How wonderful to be a part of that. Thank you.

Once again, wonderful job in a garden I recognized right away. When I saw the horsetail, I thought of my ornamental patch that was invaded for years, I got rid of it last year by digging the patch and exposing the rizomes to the sun... It seems that dandelions are good in salads but never tried them, instead, I chase them as well (we got lots of them in the garden this year). As for the rest of the weeds and many plants, I don't remember their name but for sure, my Belgian garden has its share of these. The roses are beautiful and remind me of taking care of them when I'll get back home from my sunny island. My son and his girlfriend live in the house and are supposed to tidy up the garden. Fingers crossed for next Saturday to check and see if the results are as stunning as yours ;)

Ooooo, tough choice. I like both really, but I really do like using more traditional hand tools. Although being a middle-aged professional gardener, I really do need the power tools as well 😅

I think I saw some asparagus.

I can't remember seeing any asparagus, but maybe it was that weed I was showing the camera near where the cherry tree was. It looks a litte like asparagus, it's called (among other things) horse tail. It's one of the toughest weeds to ever get rid of 😅 Thanks for the comment 👍 Martin.

Oh ok.

Blue bells?

How long did she keep it up herself? As for the plant names, I can give you the Dutch names or the Latin ones, but not always the English ones, especially for the trees. I get exam anxiety all over again. For winter characteristics we got bare twigs and had to identify them.

I'm going to have to take a look, I can't remember seeing a rhododendron. But loads of people have mentioned it 😂 I might be wrong 😅

Where did you get your gardening tools from, mate?

From all over everywhere mate, I've had many of them for years. But I also order a lot on Amazon because I'm normally in a rush to get them 😂

I'd like a dollar for every garden knife I have lost to yard waste bags...

Haha 😂 same here, we'd both be rich. I stopped buying decent pruners for years as I kept losing them in various compost heaps.

Hey David 👋 oh yeah, you're totally right. It's a pain to get rid of, I've never had it in my own gardens before, but many of my clients have it. It certainly needs some persistence to eradicate. Thanks David 👍
