SOME VIDS FOR YOU AND THE NEW YEAR

It has been a minute since I have written on here.  Truth be told this year did not start out so great as on the 8th of Jan., I had to put my 21.5 year old cat Mylo to rest.  It was his time and although his death was not a surprise, it still stung.  That being said there are videos from last year that I had not shared on here and I thought I would do that.  

The first is about some uncommon garden ideas for you to consider.

What about seating for your garden?  Just 5 ideas to get you inspired.  

Now let's talk about some self seeding California native plants.  Plants that when planted once, will come back year after year.  

How about just letting things grow.  We tent to think that a plant needs regular trimming, but the truth is that most don't.  In the first 6 months to a year you should just let things grow.  I explain why in this video,  

Lastly, I share with you some money saving tips for your garden.  

HAPPENINGS IN NOVEMBER

The month of November was great for video uploaidng.  I was actually on track and very proud of myself for being on top of things.  Ideas were flowing and videos were getting maid.  December may not look like that though.  I want to take some time off to have a much needed staycation and some serious planning days.  Although I want to be able to upload weekly for the entire 2026 year, that may not be feasable.    I am going to try though.  Well, let's get on with it.  

First let's talk about garden must haves.  These are 10 that I would recommend.  You do not need all 10, but worth considering.  

Now let's dive into uncommon garden ideas.  Just 5 that you may not have thought about.  You might want to.  

Moving on to seating ideas for the garden.  traditional, unique a must try in one form or another.  

Moving on to a bit of California native plant talk.  The self seeding kind.  The ones that you plant once and don't have to never worry about again.  

SOME GARDENS AND THINGS

I have struggled through trying to make regular YouTube content.  I feel stuck as if I want to switch up things a little.  I want to make more design content.  Show you the process of design.  I may decide to pick a project that I designed in the past and revisit it with some videos about how I designed the project and my thought process behind it.  I can show the concept drawings, mood boards and final drawings.  

In the meantime though, I have two videos.  One of a relaxing garden that I designed in the city of Orange and a most native garden in Mission Viejo.
