Hello Jess, what a coincidence! I hope you have lots of fun and success with your yard project. You might find that our soil is quite rocky if your soil is anything like mine but it’s good soil and can grow beautiful plants :)
Your garden is beautiful and has come a long way. I love your dappled willows and magnolias. 6:10 have your dappled willow trees grown any taller over the last three years. I don’t know if the rootstocks keep growing
Thank you! It has come a long way indeed :) No the rootstocks or the trunk didn’t grow but the branches keep growing and quite vigorously at that. Earlier this spring I pruned what I thought was a lot of branches only for it to grow back as bushy as ever, as if I didn’t take out anything at all. So although the trunk will always remain the same height (about 3-4 feet), this tree can actually reach 10 feet easy with its long branches. The trunk only grew bigger and thicker. Thank you for your comment and have a wonderful day! 😊
Lina, I’m so happy I came across your channel recently! I’m impressed at how much you’ve learned about gardening in such a short period of time! But, that’s what happens when your interest is really peaked by something totally new to you & your interest level skyrockets!! Anyway, I noticed you don’t seem to have any “deer” problems in your area? Is that bc you’re not close to any forests? If deer aren’t a problem for you that explains why all your plants aren’t being destroyed/eaten/tasted to death!! Congrats on a beautiful garden, as it continues to evolve!!!
Hi Sonia, it’s so true what you said. It’s crazy to me that I’ve been around plants all my life but I never “saw” them until one day when I decided to grow a garden in my own backyard. All of a sudden EVERY plant become interesting to me. Every little flower I see along the road or in places I visit on trips become my main focus. I still enjoy other things of course but I don’t get as excited as when I see a new plant 😆 Oh I don’t have deer problems because I live in a new development and have a fenced yard. It’s good and bad. Good that I don’t have to fend off deer and can grow all the flowers I love, bad that there’s literally very little nature or wildlife around (yet). The trees around our neighborhood are only 5-6 years old. It’s getting better every year though although I wish more of my neighbors would grow a garden. I understand though, not everyone likes or has time to garden. But since I turned my yard into a garden, I see more and more wildlife come round each year. That’s when I get the most joy. Thank you for visiting and for leaving a sweet comment Sonia. Happy gardening 🌸🌿
Here in Texas magnolia are very popular and the flower is beautiful the smell not so much.There’s one here in our apt property it’s huge and full of flowers .Happy Sunday🌹
Oh I must visit Texas one of these days. There aren’t too many Southern magnolias to be seen here, but the saucer/tulip magnolias we see a lot. I’ve read that the fragrance of Southern Magnolias flowers isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. As for me, I can smell them for hours on end haha. Thank you for your comment. Happy Gardening 🌸🌿
Your spring flowers are looking beautiful. Thanks for the Thailand tour also. I recognized many of the plants from growing up and gardening in South Florida. I did grow orchids outside there but here in WA state, I grow them inside. I do take them outside for the summer though. I put them on my covered deck where they get some early morning sun. I'm about 20 miles north of Seattle and also Zone 8B.
I was gifted 2 orchids last fall. I think I’ll bring them out to the patio as well this summer. They’re not in flower anymore but still very much alive and had put on new growth. I’ve been to Florida once only at the airport for a connecting flight to the Bahamas. As soon as the heat and humidity hit my face, I thought the weather in Florida resembles most closely that of Thailand’s and I thought I’d probably love living in FL! But not complaining about WA though, I love it here too. Thank you for visiting my garden and for the comment. Hope we have a good summer here in 8b PNW this year :)
@@Linasgardens I have a Florida friend who lived in Thailand for several years and she agrees the weather for both is very similar. I don't let my orchids get direct blazing sun when I put them outside, but I do make sure they get some gentle morning sun. They seem to like it but just watch for bugs! I will spray them with insecticidal soap if I need to and then inspect them well before I bring them inside for the cold season. In Florida, they were outside and could withstand freezing weather if I covered them overnight. But they definitely can't withstand our kind of cold lol. Look forward to your future videos. Take care!
Oh thank you! I just googled it and found that they come in many many colors. Just wow.. if I ever find myself living in a suitable zone to grow them, I’m having one in my yard for sure. What a magnificent tree 😍
@@Linasgardens I grow them in pots in zone 8a and move them in and out of a unheated garage. They go dormant in winter and you should not water them at all during that time. They're also called plumeria
Finally someone in my zone!! Whoo hoo!
Excellent so beautiful your garden
Thank you :)
Lina what’s up!!!! Your one of my neighbors. I’m trying to get my yard together and came across your page. Awesome!

It’s so refreshing to see people as young as you interested in gardening. I am looking for Kate parris magnolia because of your video
😊😊

I got some lovely tulips,with some really rare varieties. Ordered them from a company in Holland,Farmer Gracy.
Thank you for the information!

Frangipani is the name of the nice smelling white flowers with yellow throat tree you saw in Hawaii as well as your uncles house

@@Linasgardens Dallas Fort Worth zone 8a.
Oh wow… that’s wonderful. You gave me an idea. Thank you for sharing :)
I believe that is a plumeria tree
Thank you! I learned today that they’re called plumeria or frangipani. What a lovely tree! Thanks again :)
