9:00 in the morning I wanted to see the Sun up which it is right now so what would be the feature for me to look at I mean you too hi it’s Robbie from Southern California now here’s the thing I love the rainbow Garden it’s colorful it’s nice I get a lot of food production out of it and I think that all the colors bring joy to me I just love color I think being an artist photographer you know all all these years color has been a very big thing to me I like the color of the totes I love looking at the Pizza Garden it just you know color means something to me so I’m starting to rethink it’s just me Gary’s not here right now he’s actually making breakfast CU we get up early and do stuff and then we go eat now standing here and let’s say I clean this up which I’m planning on doing and sitting here like I usually do right now I see the dog kennel I love the kennel I have been toying with where to put it and there’s just been a dilemma I have enough chairs with an idea I came up with now I could put it down there but that’s where he’s going to have wood chips dropped and he likes that for his garden it’s no big deal to me cuz I use all the leaves from all the plants that are growing if I put it down there I don’t see the chair garden and I like looking over at the chair Garden that’s all a different Garden that one I put together with chairs that I had painted oh my goodness over 10 years ago they were painted I think they were bought for a birthday party this is crazy my granddaughter is going to be 25 it must have been bought for a birthday party 22 years ago and then they got here and I painted them probably 15 years ago all of them and they still are holding the paint oh they were full of white coming off and everything like that’s why people get rid of them but once I painted them they held the paint cuz that’s when it holds this is just cheap 50 Cent paint from Home Depot that they reduced they all held the colors these were just paints I would pick up and it held the paint did they fade over the years maybe a little bit so now I’ve got these we picked up we saw bought uh you know online somewhere free chairs and Gary went down and there’s times you see him thrown thrown in the trash people keep them for years and then they figure they can’t sit on them because of the white coming off but boy hit him with paint and You’ got another 10 15 20 years out of them all right so here’s what I’m thinking I’ve got enough chairs I could continue the theme I’m thinking theme all right this is my thought move move the dog candle right now there’s nothing in it move it out of the way I’m not sure yet where not by the chair Garden I don’t want to put it there though you know what the almost perfect place is here look at this Gary made this but I like this I we do sit under here when it’s really hot we’ve done life from here I like this so I don’t think we’re going to do anything with that but here’s what I’m starting to thing been walking in circles move the dog kennel here it’s going to get a lot of shade that worries me a little bit because look at the shade and that’s coming off the gazabo but I’ve got a lot of interesting thoughts he made this cement pad now I’m not going to move it underneath but if I have him move it and it sits partly on the cement pad and then we took P Stones all the way around you’re not going to have any Critters digging underneath they won’t know that the center they could dig into but they would have the tunnel so right now I would have one whole side get rid of this this thing that I’ve never used it anyways yet it’s just got the cement blocks with this thing Gary built no we’re not going to trash it just hold on move the dog kennel here this is my thought bring it up to pretty much up to here but not all the way just a little bit maybe a foot then line the rest of it with papers you can get the papers for a buck a piece $2 at the stores you buy so you don’t have to pour any cement so that pulls this forward now I’m talking out loud with you to listen if I sit here I’m going to see the dog crate and the do crate’s okay it’s just a dilemma is where am I going to put the door on this side you know I do have a hose down there and I walk all the way here hold on I might put the door here not sure on the door yet this is really easy to pick up and move car and I have picked it up and it’s nothing it’s light as a feather really so we move it here and I see the dog crate from here now he wants to get started on this right now now the tunnel that he builds the trellis vertical gardening it will be where the buckets are you’ll be able to see the dog crate there but you’ll be able to see the tunnel and if I line this side of the tunnel with chairs and I might turn them differently put colored totes on the theme would be carried with the chairs on the other side you’d see more color and then the stuff would grow whatever I grow up and over this is pretty green all winter all this stuff that you see right now grew all winter I’ve got the hummingbird’s lunch I’ve got Tomatoes coming up and and walking onions everywhere I’ve got the milkweed but brings in the butterflies celery Pinos growing everywhere I’m just starting the squash that’s got my zucchini in there see butterfly I told you if I and that’s a that’s a thought since I want to grow more food on this side I could have more milkweed no no no scrap it nope see because the whole idea is that the one on the other side we wanted to go up though I could put some milkweed in there anyways in containers I’ve got them growing in different pots so when you look here you’ll see the tunnel here you’ll see the dog kennel but when you look this way you’ll see colored to again with more colored chairs we’ll have to paint more chairs I may have paint left over and it won’t be as many chairs I’m going to flip the chairs so there might be maybe on this side four to six chairs because I want the totes to go this way not this way so this way they’re long and the plants go up and not lean this way CU I want them to go up and I’ll direct them that way now I’ll have a tunnel I’ll see the dog kennel I don’t want to get rid of dog kennel I have a lot of plans it’s just that we got slowed down taking care of the emuse the weather was so bad I mean here we are jeez almost in July and look at the Hummingbird I was going to move it and then I found that they do come here to feed we we’ve been cold at night now we’re warm now we’re 58 to 60 62 at night barely it doesn’t it’s not consistent say I know I got ready the other day to move it thinking oh hummingbirds don’t use this oh yes they do so I can hang some hummingbird feeders here too and be able to come out here on a hot day cuz look at all the shade we have in the morning clean this up and I think it look really pretty again I’m talking out loud I do this whether I’ve got the phone on or not I talk to myself sometimes analyze if I hear it out loud and that’s why I figured I’ll talk to you about it so what do you think about having the tunnel see the buckets from there to there I got to like I said I have to think quick cuz he’s already bringing this stuff up he wants to start working on it today have the tunnel a little bit this way more have the dog kennel there I may lose the view looking at the wall but that’s okay because I like the idea of using the cint to keep anything from digging and I actually am planning on using tool I think on that I could wire it to keep squirrels out or I can use tool I have come up with some stuff that I didn’t even know it was an accident and using tool down in the CH what not the chair well I do use in the chair Garden but the truck bed and it’s working better than I thought there were things that I didn’t even know would happen with all that that I set up so I that’s what I’m thinking what do you think cuz this has to be done he’s going to start digging holes I think today I’ll shoot this thing up right now so you can tell me because I think it’ll look cool sitting here I can see the dog kennel I’ll see the tunnel the tunnel will go up I won’t see the cars anymore and we still have all that space if we have any birthday parties everybody’s grown up now is what it is still space to park and the big thing is for him to get the wood chips they bring the truck in here they dump and they can turn around at the end he said they’re they can maneuver those trucks and we’re talking they’re like almost a semi they’re huge and that’s the way this company has their trucks they’re big so they can go and trim tons of trees and then go to the dump only one time and then we’d be able to see a little bit of everything again yes it’s going to block a little bit from here but then you’d be able to see the rest of it if you were sitting on the other side of the table I think that’ll work it’s really hard to visualize until you have it done yes it could be taken down and moved but I really don’t want to do that and then the tunnel gets full sun which it will need the dog kennel may lose a little bit of sun because of the Gazo see the shade you can see where the shade is but I can use the sunniest part which would be the other side if I wanted to do zucchini and other things like parsley and herbs and lettuce I love growing lettuce would be on would be anywhere in there and then it would be completely covered that’s another option too if I want to go strictly things that don’t need pollinators and then of course I can hand pollinate zucchini I could just load this up with all kinds of brasas greens lettuce uh radishes different things like that doesn’t need a pollinator doesn’t need anything and then I don’t have to worry about it tool the whole thing and I don’t have to have anything go in there and I won’t even have any bugs no insects if there’s insects on anything if I have Dish pans pick them up drag them out put them somewhere which means like I said this will go and I think this would be really good this is my thought is set this up we have one here where we’re going to set up that there’s one there and set that one up on the other side I don’t know if it’s going to be inside the tunnel yet or out so I have this set up on the outside the dog kennel this way here the big this thing will be just maybe over a little bit I will have space in there so that’s going to be the thing once we move it to decide which way to have the door but the door isn’t that bad here cuz I do I literally drag that hose here you see how long it is it’s 100t hose and I come all the way down haven’t even started growing in there I’ve got celery and stuff growing from last year I’m going to move a lot of stuff so he can bring in truckload so we’ll have just potatoes there but move this forward and then he can move this over a little bit give me space on the other side well I’ll have to because I’ll have the chairs I think that will work what do you think the only other thing is to move it completely somewhere else I don’t want to butt this up against the wall because that will create Critters insects things to hide so you want to be able to get all the way around it and then this way you have a much better setup this can be fabulous to grow in I don’t want to put it up against the trees because that is just nothing but wildlife in there so I will have everything coming in that you don’t want this is just piled here because we had to move a lot of stuff while we were working last last year on this room so this all be gone because I’ll be using almost all the chairs and the totes and everything for here there isn’t a lot of places up here I’ve thought of the front yard but it can’t do that because of all the trees in the front yard there’s not no sun anymore the pine trees got really big I’ve thought again in the bird Garden oh look I have a strawberry but again with the bird Garden I’ll lose my view and the whole idea is the view there is no place else to put it I bought it I want to use it and even if I just use it for a lettuce Farm can you imagine fresh lettuce fresh salad a salad uh there you go a salad Farm everything that goes in a salad doesn’t have to be pollinated and that would be perfect so easy to wrap this with tool you know the whole thing wouldn’t even cost me won’t even cost me $10 to do the whole thing and that would keep every out and then if I want to wrap it in plastic I could do that from Dollar Tree they’ve got these great shower curtains let me tell you something I’ve used it for two years the shower curtains take them down at the end of winter and fold them up and they’re still good probably cost me 1 two 3 four five maybe $6 to use their shower curtains that would be in the winter okay I’m going to be reading your thoughts tell me what you think oh there’s another Pipino I lost my other ones the squirrels came and pulled them off before I did some of them here I made you saw me put it in the meat the other day all right anyways now I’ve taken 15 minutes your time it’s such a beautiful morning look at the tree in the back I think that’s a jakaranda you know who hasn’t found it the Amazon’s oh well they won’t find it now the flowers turn in the pods and we’ve seen them on the streets like aund Amazon’s pulling off all the pods off the jackar but they has to go in the pods it didn’t do that yet what does like the jackar is the deer they come and they eat the leaves all right give me your thoughts this is just thinking and I think it’d be different unique and itd be able to keep everything yes I will lose this view but you know this view isn’t as important and as far as my cameras Gary said what are you going to do with your cameras no big deal and put that on a pole and go straight up in the air all I have to do is raise it and be able to look at that big beautiful yellow house no I’d be able to raise it and then look down so I’d be able to see I think that’s going to work out I think the first thing thing I’ll do is move it and see and kind of look at it and see what I think oh I can still see the big yellow house even with the kennel there well I’m trying to be a good neighbor so maybe it’s so oh my gosh but that alarm that goes all night it’s actually an annoyance and I don’t know what they have it for I guess to keep people away I wonder if they’re going to keep me away so with that have a wonderful day and don’t forget to eat what gr I think it’s going to work out great no matter what I end up doing with it I’ve got tons of ideas bye-bye

I love color also. My whole house is colorful. Also I have a huge amount of flowers in all colors.
Is anything going to shade your wall? I know that you use the wall to cheat nature at certain times.
It is so hot here in Ohio that I can barely breathe.
It is hot hot here in kansas
I think your ideas are great!
It's 96 degrees and a heat index of 102.
Tell Gary that you want to put it at my house 😂😂😂.
❤😊😊❤
Good idea
Looking forward to the results.
Robbie, What are you putting in the dog kennel? I was going to say move dog kennel near your watermelon truck bed, but then saw Gary moving concrete pavers in so…Oh, I get it, the yellow house! Silent alarms, please??🙉 Well, can't wait to see your creative growing area retreat! Have a beautiful day🌱🐦🦋
Looking forward to watching the footage that you film of him doing this project, seeing the process and end results! Go Gary!
That neighbors alarm might be keeping animals away too 🫨 you should plant a tree to block out the view of that house 😂
I really like the way you are thinking about the garden
sounds like a plan
It’s a great expansion – can’t wait to see how it turns out and what you’ll plant!
You are an audible learner like me, we have to hear ourselves say it out loud to get the brain to get it or get firing.
You're WAAAAAYYYY over thinking this
I think if it rains it'll run off dog kennel onto ur covered patio area,
You answered my question from your last video. Jacaranda tree!!! It is gorgeous. Cant wait to see the finished product
What are you doing having baby emus in USA. I must have missed a video of you hatching them. They are an Australian not USA native bird. How many do you have? How did you get the eggs? Curious Carolyn in Oz
Can you run the tunnel long ways infurnt of the truck
I’m not sure I’d want the tunnel.
Tunnel will be large and blocking. His area is great but you have a different view .
I fell in love with all the gardens you have already, so I'm thinking you'll know what to do. You and Gary make a great team. Can't wait to watch the progress on video. Thanks for including us. Happy Gardening!
I like the purple at end of drive. What is that.?
Boy none of my home depots offer any cheap paint (or any bargains) anymore. I remember how fun it was to shop those sale shelves back in the day!
I think you and Gary will find the perfect spot for it. I'm glad you have taken the time to really think about where to put it so it doesn't interfere with your gardens that make you happy.
I think your ideas sound great! It’s always good to talk things through. A salad farm would be perfect and with the shower curtains, you’ll have your own greenhouse and can have salad all year long. I say go for it!
Whatever u decide will be great! You are a visionary 🎉❤ so itll be awesome!
Hi Robbie, I think you are going to Love your tunnel where you are proposing. I think camouflaging the cars is a good thing. I think the nasty alarm noise qualifies as sound pollution and it is illegal. Call 911 and ask. Let them hear that little bit we can hear. I wouldn’t be able to sleep with that or enjoy my gardens. 😘🌵👍🐾Zoe🐾
