I got some feedback on a less ambitious video on Facebook so I slowed down the movement of the camera and included the entire side and back garden. It starts at near the bottom of the driveway and eventually heads toward the NW corner of our lot. Then I move out one gate and along the top of the creek that forms our northern border to a gate near what used to be a vegetable garden near a deck and gazebo. But rather than explore that now I head through another gate into what used to be two aviary flight cages until I reach a flagstone area with a table, chairs and umbrella. Then I head through an opening up to a small deck in the NE corner of our lot for view out to park behind us where a footbridge crosses and then follow the creek back onto our side, part of which I've fenced in to protect my plants from kids who love exploring up the creeek. (Didn't we all?) Coming back down I head south along the back path, near our border with the park. Eventually we pass between a couple of birch trees where I've but a redwood slab to make a bench in the corner. Coming back out we circle around the pond along our border with the community fruit orchard garden south of us and then along the backside of our old warehouse building. There are a lot tall growing perenials here like Salvia wagneriana and Lobelia aguana. After another peek back across the pond we head back toward the main gate connecting the back garden to side garden where we started. At the top of the driveway I give a couple of Agapetes serpens close ups (first Ludgvan Cross, then Nepal Creme, then the straight species which isn't yet in bloom). Looking back to the gazebo where the climbing rose 'Royal Sunset' is loaded with buds we circle around the gazebo and then down that path we saw before through the butterfly garden. Finally we continue on a loop through the side garden finishing up near the Mexican Weeping bamboo with a ceonothus getting the last close up. Took me 17 minutes. (This might very well be way too much information.)
A lot of cool plants. The Ceonothus is very common here and yours is just a baby. There's even a white variety.
We hear you walking...how come you chose not to narrate anything?
We would have loved to know the names, the planting times, etc
. I recommend you do it again with narration!
Yeah, that would be better. I'll try to remember that next time. This time I was concentrating so hard on keeping the camera moving smoothly and slowly that I didn't even think of that.
