- Native plants are low maintenance in the garden but sometimes disasters do happen. This is a more personal video to show you what happened when I was gone for three weeks.

Thank you so much to everyone who's been patient for the next video! Looking forward to talking more about plants and less about disasters next time! 🌱🌱🌱
Yikes! Glad no one was hurt and that it didn't spread to the homes. Thankfully you got that motion alert! 😱
Good to see you again Lisa! Don't let the bad things get you down!
Thanks notoots!
Wow! That’s one hot compost! I guess it’s done.
That would have been nerve wracking. With the planetary positioning it doesn’t surprise me and because Uranus is all about surprises and electric…well, it was fitting.
Glad no major destruction.
And hope your dad is doing better. We took care of both our parents simultaneously and it was a challenge that ultimately ended in losing one almost every year in a row and several other members non stop. Terrible years since 2008 and I blame Pluto and it won’t be totally out of my sign until the end of this year.
The bindweed-use a brush killer and all you do is cut the vine off and treat the cut and it will go to the root and be gone.
I thought you were being very positive about all this. As an older person who is starting to experience health issues, it really puts things in perspective. Yes this will set you back a little bit, but before you know it your garden will be as beautiful as ever. I hope that your family member is doing better now.
Thank you so much ❤️
Aw, I'm so sorry you had all those terrible events converge! You have a really good attitude and, like your garden, you'll bounce right back.
Thank you so much! 🌱🌱🌱
your attitude is enviable. I wouldn't have handled it as well. many kudos to you
You never know until it happens! We definitely freaked out while it was happening. 😱 After a couple weeks we were just happy it wasn't worse 😂
You’re a positive person with a fantastic channel!
Aw thank you so much! Hoping to do more videos on plants and less on personal disaster soon 😃
Yeesh, that's a tough turn of events. Your beautiful plants and thriving garden are a balm in difficult circumstances. Sending healing thoughts as you and the garden recover!
I hope your family is feeling better and has a better month, sometimes life and adulting are not fun
if there is a silver lining, at least you now have compost and biochar
Haha yup! Still have compost! 🌱🌱🌱
Good for you for supporting your family at a time of need. I hope all is well now. So sorry to hear of your fire, but happy to hear that the damage was minimal, no one was hurt, and that you have focused on the positives as well - what a way to model great behaviour and attitudes all around 👏🏼💚
Thank you so much! 🌱🌱🌱
Wow! Glad you all are ok! Sorry about the plants and potential digging! Staying positive is hard sometimes but you did it! Onward we go!
One foot in front of the other!
That was an adventure, for sure!
😭omg I'm so sorry. Literally this week I left you a comment asking where you went. I had no idea the extent of which life has been throwing @#%& at you! Glad you're pulling through and the fire turned out alright.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words.
Oh, Lisa, I'm so sorry you went through all of that and all at once! Sheesh! I'm glad you are okay, and the fire was put out fairly quickly before it could spread further. Wow, I don't think I've ever thought about compost piles catching on fire. Unfortunately, there are some folks who have set off fireworks in not so safe ways in my neighborhood, and uh...it makes me think.
Even though you went through so much, you still made a funny and entertaining video about it. Your attitude is great and that cicada brood was HUGE!! Wow! I wish we had that this year! I know, kind icky when there's so many, but I love cicadas. I just also will duck for cover if I think they are flying toward me. It's a mix of emotions.
Hugs to you, Lisa!Your garden will continue to get more and more wonderful as the years go on, I'm sure of it. I love what you've created so far.
Thank you so much for your support! Haha yes, we will rebuild❤️
As I always say
It could have been much worse , your house survived and plants can grow even better after a disaster
Greetings from Chicago 🦋
Nice vernal pool
More like an eternal pool now! 😂
OMG - what a string of events!!
You're tellin' me! 😂
I cannot believe that happened, how crazy. So sorry. You have a very positive outlook!
Thanks, I do my best! Still have most of my garden! 😂
Im sorry that was a difficult experience but…that awesome little pond🦆🐸🤔
Free of charge too! 😂🌱🌱🌱
PS. When I saw the video in my subscriptions I thought the fire was metaphorical!
@@aalejardin Haha! Me too!
Glad it was not worse -- hope your family member is better. I had a recent unexpected health issue and my adult son has been such a blessing helping us out, including in the garden. He planted all the berry bushes that I had ordered before I fell ill and now he is the first one to go check to see how they are doing. I am also fighting bindweed -- it's now gotten itself all tangled up in a Mrs. Robert Brydon clematis. I like your solution! Does glyphosate do it?
Thank you for the well wishes, the glyphosate worked for me
Good to see you again Lisa! Sorry you had such a string of bad luck! Can’t even imagine watching the fire on your phone for that long waiting for someone to show up to put out the flames.
Must be the year for disasters. My bedroom curtains caught fire from a recharging lithium battery fan. Just as we finally got the new carpet in and paint, etc., we had my dad, aunt, and son in law hospitalized in the same week. I’m kind of afraid of what’s coming next.
When it rains it pours. Wishing for a strong recovery for your family members. ❤️🩹
I'm with you. I love nature, but these cicadas were nasty. They tore up all of my shrubs and trees.
Lol it was rough 😂
Yikes! To get movement from the cameras and it’s a FIRE!😱 this was the beginning.
**eyes wide open, mouth agape** Thankfully the fire was contained to a "small-ish" area! Sorry to hear about your vertigo. I've had it a few time over the past 4 years, it is not a fun time when you have it. The emotional heart string pull with all the events you've been going through this summer! Hopefully you and your husband get an opportunity this year to take some time for yourselves to heal emotionally & mentally. The next series of videos are probably not the ones you wanted to make, but it will be an adventure/interesting story seeing the progress of how everything comes back (fire damage & water line repair area). I feel guilty about experiencing a great deal of joy seeing a new video, but I cannot help it, so glad you are back!!
Thank you so much got the kind words. We are definitely looking forward to resting and recovering soon.
Talk about the trials of Job. It’s not a spring you will soon forget. God bless.
❤
Good luck with everything.
Wow! Thank you so much! 🥹
@@lisalikesplants 😘
It’s also possible that composting can produce gases that could ignite from a spark
This was a great video! Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re family is doing well:)
Thank you so much. 🌱🌱🌱
omg, i guess that's one way to find out how fire tolerant your natives are XD
7:25 what is that plant that's growing through the pavers? I always see it in the summers here but never remember to look it up
Horseweed/mares tail
Sounds like you and your family have had a rough go of it this summer! Never fun when it’s one thing after another. Hopefully you can look back on day and laugh!
Is that your chinkapin oak at 10:07? If so, it looks amazing!
Thank you! It's 7ft tall now!
OMG….i thought the thumbnail was clickbait. Now I wish it were! It’s time for someone to invent a yard bot that resembles Wall-E to put out fires and weed the garden
Lol I also wish the thumbnail was clickbait! 😂
What do u do with elderberries??
Get some mosquito bits or dunks into that standing water.
I did! There were tons of larvae swimming around and I got em. If you look closely you can see the donut shaped dunk in there
Fireworks rained down on my house from quarter mile away i was home to experience it 🫤
Its a serious problem 😣
