I foresee A LOT of relaxing family and friends time there. Beautiful job. Your sad plant is a daffodil bulb, I think. It’s doing it’s thing by dying back as spring turns to summer. Plant taller bulbs in the back, shorter bulbs in the front (like crocus) and a few perennials in the middle like more peony (the pink flowering plant already there) and hosta. Thanks for saving the existing peony.

Love the outcome but will say that I personally enjoy narration instead of the ASMR stuff. I like to hear you explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, etc. Totally get why you may have switched it up and tried this ASMR thing but just giving my two cents in case you were hoping for feedback to gauge if you should do more.

@lesliemichael2878 11 ай бұрын

Very helpful video; we're thinking about doing a similar project in our backyard and this gave me a good sense of how to get started, thank you! From what I could see, the plant that "looks a little sad" is probably a daffodil bulb, which will regrow/rebloom in the spring. If it didn't bloom this year, it probably didn't have enough sunlight; you can always dig it up and plant it somewhere sunnier if you like.

It may be sparse at first with a lot of annual weeds...just continue to water, mow them down, use a weed & feed and overseed bare spots if needed. Rule of thumb with new lawns and plantings...1st year they sleep, 2nd year they creep and 3rd year they leap.

We have a fire pit and kids play area with pea stone. It is great, weeds can’t get a foothold, you just grab a rake and smooth it out once a year and it looks brand new. Any pea stones that get kicked onto the grass, will just get absorbed into the dirt and disappear.

Great as always! Someone else commented as well but the “sad plant” is a daffodil bulb and past its season. Just cut the greens off and it will come up next spring. Also, I have really good luck spreading peat moss over the seed. It keeps it moist after watering, helps germinate, and keeps the birds away.
