I think a segment with Kayla doing pots and showing her artistry and techniques and tips for success would be wonderful. It's obvious she has a great passion for it!
I really like that Stewart is asking you questions. Your answers provide information for us to learn. Would be most helpful if Stewart would tag the plant names ( on the video).
This video had a different feel and I'm glad you got to stop and 'smell the roses' The past few months have been full of hard work, outdoor work, cement, dirt, etc. This was fun to be a part of a casual walk through the garden center as you pick out plants. The 'Dusty Miller' remark from Stewart was hilarious. I would LOVE to see a picture of Kayla sitting at the bistro chairs sipping on a (well deserved) cold iced tea. Linda 'mothering' everyone - was sweet and priceless. ❤
I loved going with you to shop for flowers. You sure had a ‘big fan’ there to ‘teach’ you your flower names at the garden center. I had to laugh….he wanted to make sure you were helped. You both were good sports! I’m so excited to watch you work too. 🪴🌸🌞
😂 you sure could tell Linda had her mind on what she needed to plant while shopping ! 😆Sweet Stewart is wanting to visit and gander and she just kept trudging on ....
I love ❤️ shopping with Linda for plants. She’s like me a plant addict. I like that you buy the plants with a color palette in mind. Now I need to determine what mine is so the next time I shop for plants I can be more focused and not just buy everything I like.
I find it so charming the banter btwn Linda & Stewart... I'm part Linda (where I know some things & feel confident) & part Stewart (learning and asking Q's). And there is room for both!!
Our house and very large barn with attached greenhouse and woodshed are all sided in rough cedar board and batten and we love it. There's nothing better than going to the garden centers and buying all of the flowers that we need as much as a hole in the head! 😂 We will always find room for them!
Thanks for the flower show Stewart! I use all the drought tolerant annuals except the Joseph’s Coat, which I might need to add this year. Can’t wait to see the window box planting.
Switching to the pale yellow lantana was a good choice. Saw diamond frost euphorbia at two garden centers, yesterday. We are in a drought in Maryland 7a and had not had any rain in April until today. Heavy downpours all afternoon but much appreciated.
A lavender topiary would look beautiful in the centre of your window box. For height and to compliment your signature touch .. it would complement your other purple and yellow flowers
When I was at the grocery store yesterday and saw an expensive braided hibiscus tree, your words came back to me when you said, " I will not deprive myself..." when it comes to a plant that inspires me. So I bought it! No regrets!
Linda, two of Sydney’s recent videos showed good rainfall. You didn’t get any of that? It was so pretty and also to listen to. I am looking forward to Sunday’s window box video. ☺️
Once again, lots of fun pretty things. My Dusty Miller made it through our winter with over 2 ft of snow piled on them. I even rooted some more in a jar of water. Happy planting.
I just love Stewart... his comments and spontaneity really add to the enjoyment of watching these videos. 😁 I like his detour...'alright you all we've left Linda to look at these' 😂. So sweet he wants us to see everything! Hi dear Linda from Martinsville! Looking forward to seeing the flower box filled!
Really? the nurseries are growing cannibis instead of flowers? 😯I find the fan flower plant scaveola to be my go to for sunny hot spots. I only use it for containers. Never heard of penta. Will be looking into it at my local nurseries. We are getting much needed rain in 7 a New York. I did see a monarch migration Stewart. In my backyard bc there were tall oak trees and there were butterflies on every leaf of every tree of every branch. They darkened the skies on arrival and were gone by morning. It was a miracle event to behold. I was 13 or so and never forgot it. Happened around dinner time. They were taking their rest on their way to South America in October. Can’t wait to see those boxes in your next show! You look terrific Linda! 🥰🤗
It's so difficult to restrain oneself when shopping for plants. The other day, I went to a garden center for the express purpose of getting compost. I'm dividing rhubarb and want to add lots of compost. I just had to look at their meager selection of plants (our avg last frost date is at least a few weeks away). I came home with a box of plants! I got most of them planted in their new containers. But I can't put them outside until Tuesday when it's safe. Designing containers is my passion. Many plants will be swapped out as our temps rise. Nemesia. Linda, that's a great low-maintenance annual that comes in lots of colors. I've got several 6-pks. in assorted colors I'll upsize until I can plant them in the ground. Happy planting!
Linda, if you find Proven Winner Vista supertunias, I’m sure they have something in your color palette that will stand up to your heat, wind and (bonus) no deadheading. The mini vista white is great!
....in NC they survive through the Winter as long as they are in a protected Sunny Warm Southern location and kept wet. Planted in ground or container. I trim back to only 6" to 10" inches in length in late October. Provide good feedings in early March.
Such a beautiful variety of flowers. Wish you lived closer …I would drive by and enjoy the beauty of your garden…Sending you lots of hugs and prayers with positive thoughts 🌸🌷💐🍃👒🪴🌿🪻🪺
Loved this video! I was mesmerized by all the beauty of the plants and those humming bird moths? Nothing like shopping at a nersery i get so excited, its easy to spend a fortune! Hope you find your Euphorbia its beautiful plant!
Am I the only one thinking...."Watch Party!!!"....? I say we do it! BYOB....Bring Your Own Beverage, and let's enjoy the much anticipated planting of the window box! Can't wait! 😎🍷🍸🍹🍺🥂🥤🧉🧃🍻
I have to say I just love the little farmers market guy so excited to tell you about all of his plants, perfectly and innocently unaware it is Linda Vater he is talking to 😅🥰 I can’t wait to see your windowbox planted on Sunday! I have two new window box additions on the front of my house this year that receive a lot of sun, so I’m loving all of the heat-loving plant recommendations you are giving! Thanks!
The farmers market guy seemed so enthusiastic about plants & pollinators. It's nice to know he gives out information to his customers like that. (even though Linda didn't need it). He's educating other gardeners and maybe they'll get into it even more.
🦋 Hey Stewart 👋 You're right about the Milkweed. Not only does it host all sorts of pollinators, but it is the ONLY plant that can host monarch caterpillars. A single caterpillar can munch a singular milkweed to the ground in no time, so it's recommended to plant in mass for the most positive impact since their populations are endangered. Although not in Linda's typical color pallet, it would compliment the yellow & purple perennials quite well. I promise, the show of monarchs will charm you as did the stunning hummingbird moths! 🥰 All the love 🌿 PS- I'm tempted to got meet you and Kayla for that iced tea and planting party! So fun- cannot wait to see!!!
Thank you so much Stewart for taking the time to show us the beautiful blooms. I am watching the show as the snow is blowing out my front room window. Only white "blooms" here.
Looking forward to the window box planting. Your 2nd choice Lantana is a much better choice with the white center, Linda. To my eye that darker yellow clashes with the brick. Don’t like those yellow pansies you have, but that being said, perhaps the true color is not what I see in the video either. 💖😊🦋🕊
Kayla, You have certainly explained why we are all watching LV! We want to watch what she is always designing and all the changes she makes midstream. I've been known to take a note or two while watching.
I loved the Supertunias I planted last year. But I am definitely a Perennial girl. I bought my first BOXWOODS for my beds because of your influence. Always adding to the garden… I love all of the great plant sales around Oklahoma.
I would love to send you some rain. It won´t stop here - I want to go out in my garden. But nature really needs the water, so I have to take it as well. 😅 Love from Germany
Loved this shopping trip. I saved $ going with you! But have you forgotten how wonderful petunias and geraniums smell on a humid morning?!! You can always go back ...linda from NE
I absolutely love your videos! Have been following you for a few years and have learned so much. I always enjoy hearing you and Stewart chatting and must’ve missed along the way if Stewart is a significant other or a friend. It’s been fun watching this new yard unfold. ❤
Would you believe ... I've been putting off doing my planter boxes because I knew you were doing your window box soon and totally admit to gaining so much inspiration from you. I even thought to myself, WWLD? when recently shopping for outdoor plants. I hope we all get some rain soon.
I know you don't normally do petunias. But most of the Proven Winner varieties are bred to withstand hot, dry direct sun. They were developed in Australia. These include BubleGum types, in lots of "your" colors. I believe the varieties are called vista. So any PW vista, if going to grow large in the HOT full sun low water exposure. Also white Gazania is a heat loving, long blooming annual.
Now that was funny Stewart. Dusty Miller a girl you used to know!!!
I think a segment with Kayla doing pots and showing her artistry and techniques and tips for success would be wonderful. It's obvious she has a great passion for it!
Kayla is a jewel!!! Everyone needs a Kayla in their life! Does anyone else think Stewart is a bit of an enabler LOL!
I couldn’t agree more Suzie!
I really like that Stewart is asking you questions. Your answers provide information for us to learn. Would be most helpful if Stewart would tag the plant names ( on the video).

Linda I love your channel! I truly miss your wardrobe breakdown at the end of each episode! You always look adorable and so put together!
I loved this! Thank you for bringing us along to plant shop. So fun! And Kayla at the end was such a sweetheart.
I think prices are incredible for plants the last few years!! So pricey, but gardening just feeds my soul!
I wish I had a garden hypeman like Stewart “let’s do it” is something that …never comes out of my hubbys mouth when it comes to plant shopping 😂😂
Stewart isn't footing the bill though. Easy to urge someone who is. 😊
Yep, sometimes it's just better not to bring the husbands!😉
Stewart, you're plant knowledge is expanding so fast and I loved all your diversions to look at the flowers.
I can’t wait to see the window box all done !! What fun to have Kayla help you!!!
Linda we would love a mini tour of your favorite spots in downtown OKC. I know the area has a new vibrancy that would be lovely to see.
Cant wait for the Sunday show!
😂 you sure could tell Linda had her mind on what she needed to plant while shopping ! 😆Sweet Stewart is wanting to visit and gander and she just kept trudging on ....
Methinks someone wanted to be on camera. Y'all were so patient and kind. Love that you feature Kayla in your videos.
You're right, Stewart. Monarch's specifically lay their eggs on milkweed so the larvae can feed on the leaves.
My garden wish list includes plants, a Stewart, and a Kayla:)
❤
This was fun Linda. I like it when you take us shopping.
I love being surprised with an extra video. Thank you!
What a fun shopping day for plants for your window box. I can’t wait to see it on Sunday.
Lol! Stewart: “Had a feelin’.” ❤
Love Stewart asking questions so we learn more about the plants. Looking forward to the window box all planted up.
Love how Stuart is providing more commentary❤️
I love ❤️ shopping with Linda for plants. She’s like me a plant addict. I like that you buy the plants with a color palette in mind. Now I need to determine what mine is so the next time I shop for plants I can be more focused and not just buy everything I like.

Linda you brighten my day - Thank you ❤️

Love your garden buddy Kayla and her sunglasses!!!😎 Kayla my dear, whose fly sunglasses are you rocking? ❤🌞
Oh my gosh.....I cracked up when Stewart said "You're popping wheelies over there" LOL...Stewart has a great sense of humor.
Switching to the pale yellow lantana was a good choice. Saw diamond frost euphorbia at two garden centers, yesterday. We are in a drought in Maryland 7a and had not had any rain in April until today. Heavy downpours all afternoon but much appreciated.
Can't wait to see the plantings! ❤

Nice plants. I know your window box will be beautiful as always.
Have thoroughly enjoyed the window box. Including shopping with you at the nursery. The lavender topiaries were gorgeous at the nursery. 💜💜💜
Linda, two of Sydney’s recent videos showed good rainfall. You didn’t get any of that? It was so pretty and also to listen to. I am looking forward to Sunday’s window box video. ☺️
Knowing your garden and the power of restraint.
Nice to see you out and about. Love going to garden centers. Thanks for sharing.
Once again, lots of fun pretty things. My Dusty Miller made it through our winter with over 2 ft of snow piled on them. I even rooted some more in a jar of water. Happy planting.
Love the accent of the worker guy!!! gotta love southern accents, y'all are calming
Can not
wait for Sunday !
❤
Love the white pentas
Moths are stunning!🌺
This video scratched my itch for plant shopping.....and kept my wallet fat!
Angelonia is absolutely beautiful too. I think that would look nice in your garden.
I always love a good reason to buy plants!
I just love Stewart... his comments and spontaneity really add to the enjoyment of watching these videos. 😁 I like his detour...'alright you all we've left Linda to look at these' 😂. So sweet he wants us to see everything!
Hi dear Linda from Martinsville! Looking
forward to seeing the flower box filled!
Loved the grower’s enthusiasm for his plants.
Really? the nurseries are growing cannibis instead of flowers? 😯I find the fan flower plant scaveola to be my go to for sunny hot spots. I only use it for containers. Never heard of penta.

Can’t wait to see those boxes in your next show! You look terrific Linda! 🥰🤗
Linda has such cool people around her; Stewart, Kayla, Monica and I bet “hubs” is a cool guy!
Love everyone that are part of the videos. So much fun. Awesome team😊
I love Kayla!🌷🪴
Hey Linda from the uk 🇬🇧 love watching you ❤❤❤❤ your garden is looking very English xx 😘
I can't believe the wind there. We have our windy season, but it's not all year long, except for one year in the 36 years I've been here.
Kayla is a sweetheart. Wouldn’t it be great to have her help you in the garden!
It's so difficult to restrain oneself when shopping for plants.
The other day, I went to a garden center for the express purpose of getting compost. I'm dividing rhubarb and want to add lots of compost.
I just had to look at their meager selection of plants (our avg last frost date is at least a few weeks away). I came home with a box of plants! I got most of them planted in their new containers. But I can't put them outside until Tuesday when it's safe.
Designing containers is my passion. Many plants will be swapped out as our temps rise.
Nemesia. Linda, that's a great low-maintenance annual that comes in lots of colors. I've got several 6-pks. in assorted colors I'll upsize until I can plant them in the ground.
Happy planting!
Linda, if you find Proven Winner Vista supertunias, I’m sure they have something in your color palette that will stand up to your heat, wind and (bonus) no deadheading. The mini vista white is great!

The asparagus fern is a tough plant and loves the heat and sun
It's invasive and very hard to control
Depends on what area of the country you reside in. Not invasive here in my area at all.
Loved this video! I was mesmerized by all the beauty of the plants and those humming bird moths? Nothing like shopping at a nersery i get so excited, its easy to spend a fortune! Hope you find your Euphorbia its beautiful plant!
Pam’s is a great place for plants. ❤
Am I the only one thinking...."Watch Party!!!"....? I say we do it! BYOB....Bring Your Own Beverage, and let's enjoy the much anticipated planting of the window box! Can't wait! 😎🍷🍸🍹🍺🥂🥤🧉🧃🍻

I love milkweed it is beautiful in the garden that the man pointed out. It does very well in a dry year ❤
Thank you so much Stewart for taking the time to show us the beautiful blooms. I am watching the show as the snow is blowing out my front room window. Only white "blooms" here.
The plant shop salesman was great! I would love to go there if I lived closer to OKC.
Lavender Pentas ❤
I wish the plant nurseries near me had smaller specimens like your nursery. This would really help in keeping down the cost.
Dusty miller, looks amazing with the allium in the fan flower is absolutely stunning planted underneath a Kimberly Fern
Looking forward to the window box planting. Your 2nd choice Lantana is a much better choice with the white center, Linda. To my eye that darker yellow clashes with the brick. Don’t like those yellow pansies you have, but that being said, perhaps the true color is not what I see in the video either. 💖😊🦋🕊
I'm not a fan of yellow either. My aunt said it's genetic. 😊

Looking forward to seeing the window box getting planted! I love watching Linda put planters together. I’m sure the final product will be stunning!
I would love to send you some rain. It won´t stop here - I want to go out in my garden. But nature really needs the water, so I have to take it as well. 😅 Love from Germany
I love the color palette-still hoping you plant some lemon trees in your back dining garden!🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🌺🌺🌺🍋🍋🍋
Loved this shopping trip. I saved $ going with you! But have you forgotten how wonderful petunias and geraniums smell on a humid morning?!! You can always go back ...linda from NE
I want to go to the nursury now! 😅 fun trip with Linda and Stewart
I learned so much thank you, oh by the way, love your hair cut.
Looking forward to seeing the window box.❤
What a funny shopping adventure…. ❤
I loved watching this video.
I absolutely love your videos! Have been following you for a few years and have learned so much. I always enjoy hearing you and Stewart chatting and must’ve missed along the way if Stewart is a significant other or a friend. It’s been fun watching this new yard unfold. ❤
Have you considered a "self watering system" for the window box, such as Gardener's Supply offers?
The milkweed is a host plant for the Monarch caterpillar. Let them eat the plant. It will grow back. Watch for a Chrysalis and then the butterfly.
You had a faulty basket, that Japanese maple didn’t get in 😂! Every yard needs at least one.
I saw some delphiniums at Lowe’s today that would have beautiful in your box!
Well that was some heap big fun! Thanks for taking me shopping with you!
Linda. Love your plant selection. So beautiful. Very lovely plants.
Would you believe ... I've been putting off doing my planter boxes because I knew you were doing your window box soon and totally admit to gaining so much inspiration from you. I even thought to myself, WWLD? when recently shopping for outdoor plants. I hope we all get some rain soon.
Middle April, North of England, Cold, Damp grey weather. Very depressing. Garden not doing a lot yet. I wish some heat would hit us.😞🇬🇧🌷

I'm sorry to hear about your dry April, we say April showers bring May flowers, too! Let's pray for rain 💚
Dry here in sw Pa also, hope our summer is not dry also !!
I love this video! So glad Kayla dropped by also!
I'm so envious of all of those pentas!
Wow I thought our plant prices had gone up but £2.75 for a begonia seems reasonable. Loved watching you shopping 😊
I saw the euphorbia at Ace Hardware today.
