OMG!! Right on par with the best I've ever seen.

Lifelong home gardener as well as small business selling produce, flowers, herbs, gourds and many value added growables and I just want to say your gardens are beautiful, thanks for sharing them with us.

Personally , i think the monarda is worth keeping. It is a great fragrant,indigenous pollinator,and has some health benefits. Through out history when tea was scarce and to expensive monarda has always served as poor mans tea. I think it should be thinned occasionally and to allow for better sunlight and air flow.

I love seeing the bees and hummingbirds on mine!

With regards to weeds I agree, my garden also is very full and theres simply no room for weeds to grow, makes it very easy. Also heavily leaf-mulched from the previous season is a good preventative measure for weeds. Thats great you have a source of free water, I have 4 x 275 Gall tanks taking water off the roofs and with a simple pump system makes watering a breeze. It really is nice when the garden gets filled out, if its all perennials I personally find its not that much "hard" work at that point, just maintenance and enjoyment.

Very beautiful , you should be a proud flower momma. You and your husband have created a true paradise.

Very nice and peaceful garden. Loved all the nature sounds. Thank you for sharing it!

What a stunning garden! Thank you for sharing this tour, Olga and Diane. That basement flower workshop is spectacular! Such a wonderful place to spend cold, dreary winter days working on beautiful floral projects. I'm so jealous!

Oh, what a fabulous garden life!

My goodness, what a magnificent garden, what a paradise! I can just imagine the bliss of watching all that beauty emerging from spring onwards after a snowy winter. Diane truly has a gift and her heartfelt passion certainly shines through. Thank you so much, Olga and Diane, for your generosity in showing us this wonderful garden. ❤ from Down Under. 😮

What a lovely garden! Love the big sweeps of color and texture - those hydrangea! Lovely! Very peaceful place. Nice work by Diane & her hubby. What a great garden tour! Loved it:)

Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Redding for sharing your beautiful garden with us, and thank you, Olga for bringing us along with you to view such a gorgeous place. I need to learn more about redirecting rain water flow, as I live on quite a slope. You both have motivated me to start drying more of my flowers for wreath making! Thank your cameraman for me to, well done you!

Thanks for the tour Olga of Dianes impressive garden and enjoyed seeing the wreaths she made that are outstanding. A wonderful hobby & I could not live without mine!

Thank you for sharing; it's really a beautiful place.

Diane is certainly a woman after my own heart as I am a retired professional who is finally able to follow her passion for gardening. Diane, your garden is truly lovely and an inspiration!

So beautiful thank you for the tour of the garden and all her work. Amazing. Say hi. Take care.🌹🙏

I’m always drawn to garden videos where the owner maintains it him/herself. I just retired a few month’s back (I wish i’d done it a few years earlier actually) and own a large garden (1 acre) and the upkeep is daunting. I shall just have to man up, sharpen the tools and get on with it.

Beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much! Regarding your Rudbeckia hirta question, if it’s the ones around 3.30 in the video, they were from my mother in law’s garden in Maine. She shared seeds with me several years ago and they’ve done very well here. I do have other Rudbeckia hirta varieties that I’m trialing in the cutting garden. If you might be referring to those, please let me know and I can check my seed purchases for which varieties they are.

Dried flowers are fragile yet while they do need to be handled with care, they are surprisingly durable once arranged into a wreath or bouquet. When I do have breakage I can often still use the flowers by hot glueing them into the arrangement. With proper care and placement, they can last a very long time.

Hello and thank you so much for your interest! I read the book by Lisa Mason Ziegler. (Originally published: 2014) which describes how you can grow hardy annuals in cool weather. Using the guidelines and techniques described in the book I was able to grow many hardy annual varieties earlier and plant out in early April which is well ahead of our typical last frost of May 20th where we are located in Ct. My second seed sowing was timed for all the other annual varieties I wanted to grow that are not as cold tolerant. The second set of plants went out end of May/early June. Doing the early sowing for the hardy annuals had many advantages, including increased production and spreading the workload over two planting periods. I hope this helps but I highly recommend Lisa’s book if you’re interested in learning more about cold hardy annuals.

I just subscribed. Could I make a comment. When you look at a garden please have the camera focus completely on the garden as you did at one short point. We really don’t need to see your back walking. I loved the close up of garden so we could see it specifically. Thank you.

@@HeyGirlHeyyyyy you’re very welcome and I’m happy to help! One other plant I forgot to mention is a Chamaecyparis Pisifera (Cypress) ‘Gold Thread’. I’d also mention that when these shrubs were initially planted I had them set back about 6-7’ and then planted smaller shrubs and perennials in front of them. Since this border is now mature and the shrubs have grown larger, many of the smaller shrubs and perennials that were in front are gone or have been moved elsewhere in the garden. The privacy screen remains so that is good! Things continue to evolve which is a joy in gardening. Best of luck in your new home and happy gardening!

I’m not 100%sure I found the right point of the video or the trees you’re asking about but if my neighbors cute shed is behind the deer fence I believe you are asking about two Thujas. One is Thuja occidentalis ‘Emerald’, Emerald Green Arborvitae. The other is Thuja x ‘MonPin’, Ember Waves Western Arborvitae. Hope this helps but any other questions please reach out. 😊

the shrubs are nice but No its too monotone with it like that if it was me and my garden i need a lot of color so i would put the shrubs on the perimeter so as not to kill them in transplanting as a border element then i would look at the inventory of wildflowers that are perennial and i would begin a waltz around the 2 acres to enhance the topo dynamic in the process maybe 5 trellis concepts that build the energy of the Garden as a whole if you go to CFP Christian Faith Publishing you can see my first Book of something like 8 manuscripts if you have a Carpenter that would help and pitch in we can to the Trellises and save a little on the price and total Build i love Hummingbirds and since your in Redding i know of their intern and volunteer base is pretty Good so you can use the project to teach some younger folks the craft and the Love of Gardening if you have some Glardia that is always a nice option as the red attracts the hummingBirds one of the birds that is always nice to see stop by to seek out nectar
