      I can't put mine in a pony for very long before I get a headache. I had to start using what I call a 'claw'. It's like a clamp that keeps all your hair up but it's not tight at all. I love it! Happy gardening ladies!!

    I love this garden! The chicken coop is my favorite area. Looking back at this video to see the before is so interesting. Seems like gardens look so perfect when you plant them, then they really get going and before you know it things are overgrown, drowning out the neighbors. The fountain is definitely worth the hassle, it's gorgeous! I just noticed the grouchy face on the base of the fountain. That's something you can't see when the plants get bigger. The color combination is beautiful!!!

    As in other recent videos I think I am hearing beautiful doves cooing. For me in NC we hear Mourning Doves. Not sure what your species is yet.

      I live in the same general area as Laura and those are a type of mourning dove. I, too, love to listen to them. And Jake Jones, those are not the pigeons you are referring to but we do have those around as well. They are typically found on the farms and can sometimes become a bit of a pest given the right environment.

    Hey Laura. The foxglove colour is dreamy!!! I can never imagine planting elephant ears (taro) coz for us they grow everywhere, like literally! Wherever there's constant water, these would thrive. Over in east India, we

    I think you will love your elephant ears! They waggle so gently in the breeze & are very easy "children" All they want is that moisture--they won't mind the heat! Pile them with mulch & they should make it through the winter. They may look like a rotten mess in the spring, but don't dig them!! I've made that mistake so often! They sprout & feed from that. And they are BEASTS as you say of some plants. I'm sure they will richly reward you in short order being out of their cans.

      Mely Terry mealy bugs ? In case you don’t know , Mealy bugs are cottony like bugs that appear to be spots until closer inspection. They are often found in the leaf joints and undersides of leaves. Insecticidal soap, or a Dawn/water combo mixed with alcohol will usually kill them. You have to be persistent. They spread easily and may require several rounds of treatment. I had a bad case a few years back. Some of the plants were so overwhelmed I threw them away. My other guess is powdery Mildew. There are plenty of DIY treatments on TH-cam for it. Good luck 🍀.
