Can you come to our house please ❤I would love that garden❤
A fig tree???? You have no idea how huge it becomes... poor you.
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
@ChipsGreenWorld ohhh I didn't get that. Lookimg forward to see.how.they turn out...
Love the courtyard. Winters are too cold in Canada for a lot of those pots, I will give it a shot though. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely plants 🪴 Like 491 My friend thank you for good sharing
Hi there 🤠 thank you very much for your lovely message .. have a wonderful day and all the best 🌱 Chip
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.
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 ❤
Solar is the answer
💦 beautiful just beautiful 🎶🎵

Just beautiful, you’re a true visionary Chip. 🌳🌳
Thank you so much Ivan .. that’s really kind of you to say and very much appreciated 🤠 all the best 🌱 Chip
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.
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. 😎🇨🇦
so happy to see your video today, I looked for it!
Beautiful, you are an artist. "into the garden I go to free my mind and ease my soul".
Chip, you are my inspiration, everything you do is so beautiful.
I always love watching your videos.
I cannot believe how beautiful that looks! Amazing what you can do with such a small space! ❤
Thank you so much .. it sure is starting to take shape and come together now 🤠 so happy you enjoyed 💚 all the best 🌱 Chip
Stunning
Everything does look beautiful and I love your choice of music! xo
Beautiful transformation! Love the obelisks ❤
Hi Cassandra 🤠 so happy you enjoyed and your message is most appreciated.. All the best 🌱 Chip
😍
Thank you 🤠 🌱 Chip
love love love your design. I am an obelisk girl! and have several in my yard. Now Chip, please tell us where do you overwinter the smaller and pretty boxwoods on pots. Cheers
Ohhh! this is awesome! Where did you get the metal planters and obelisk from please.
Awww thank you Grace so happy you enjoyed 🤠 I purchased the Obelisk for Vertigrow garden centre in York , Yorkshire and the planters from my local garden centre 👍🏼 all the best 🌱 Chip
Just gorgeous
Awe....you have done it again! When I watch you create it is like poetry. Love the music!
Awww that is so lovely of you 🤠 thank you for your kind words they really mean the world 💚 have yourself the most wonderful day and all the best 🌱 Chip
WOW looks fab!!!
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...!
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
Giggles 🤭 nothing better than a long soak to a lovely bit of music 🎵🤭… Thank you very much for your kind message it’s very much appreciated All the best and have yourself a magical day 🌱 Chip
Everything looks fantastic. Question. Topsoil not potting soil?
Thank you Sobrien 🤠 yes the bottom half I used topsoil as I want the figs to root down into the ground soil and I use compost to the top 👍🏼 all the best 🌱 Chip

Bravo mate!
Hi Claudia 🤠 thank you very much that’s so kind of you .. all the best 🌱 Chip
Indeed perfection, it reminds me of my father's 100 ft x 4ft privit hedge with clipper #2...he dreaded it, but was always so proud as I was as a kid on my imaginary jumper easily scaling it's height, my trusty steed never failed me...the people that bought my father's home pulled it all out and put up a fence, they never had the pleasure of talking to the neighbor over the hedge...however, the older he got he finally purchased an electric trimmer and never regretted...awesome job...!
Hi there and thank you very much for your message, I myself got an electric trimmer last year as I know at some point I will need to swap over.. but for now I’m holding off until the last minute lol 😂 I did try them out when I first got them but it takes some getting used to them 🤭 I probably vlog the excitement with them at some point 👍🏼 all the best and have a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
Oh my how wonderful and peaceful.
Awww thank you Happygal 🤠 indeed it is a wonderfully peaceful place All the best and have yourself a wonderful day 🌱 Chip
My trees are blowing right now in wind lol
