Hydrangeas would be wonderful! They grow full, they do well as long as there is drainage. We just put 4 of them in in front of our house for our garden beds.
Daylilies? They're edible, too. 😉 And I believe low maintenance.
Lilacs come to mind along with Shasta daisies,
Your home is beautiful! LOVE the kitchen. YES, please share how you put your house together and decorate, paint, and so on. Thanks for sharing
Glad for your lovely new home….peace to your hearts as you embrace the change…
A lovely home and yes, show what you are up to please! Hydrangeas sound perfect in the back, with some rudbeckias, cone flowers (for summer long blooms into the fall) and phlox in front of those maybe some alliums for tall purple orbs, a row of lavender next and some (easy low maintenance) spring bulbs in the very front like daffodils, crocus, snowdrops, hyacinths (order bulbs soon) with some evergreen plants mixed in. Of course it would be nice to have an herb garden close to the house too. A crepe myrtle at each end, for they do really well here in the south. It's an exciting time!
Hydrangeas would look gorgeous
I live in South Carolina also.
Yes! I would love to see home context, shopping context, animals context and of course garden & landscape context! The best for you!
On the beds – first thought is to use a lot of edibles and medicinals in the beds. You can use shrubs that are edible/medicinal, as well as the annuals and perennials. Can you have viburnum with the animals? Viburnum opulus will give you a look similar to hydrangeas – though much larger, of course.
You should dead head Hydrangeas!
Try to take the stickers off the windows. If you wait it will be harder to get them off!
Lantana is a good perennial and deer leave it alone. Also Welcome to South Carolina. I’m excited to see you garden in this area since I’m in Georgia.
Any content that keeps us updated would be awesome. This is exciting. Congratulations!
Iris are very hands off and they’re are so many varieties and colors
Yes. I would love more “real life” content too. Like house stuff, organization, homeschooling, herbalism, alllll the stuff. I love playing your videos while I cook or do housework so all of it is interesting to me
Hydrangeas do great in sc, and you can get them to take other colors by soil amendments. Also they will be lush and hands off for ever. If it was me, I would build up the edge and just do all different varieties on the frong
Just show it all… Its what we are all here for… Cant wait to see it all come together… win or fail its all great content and educational for us everybody
So I am local-ish. Augusta area. People around here grow, besides azaleas and hydrangeas —peonies! Peonies are perennial, and 2-7feet tall, depending. And they are gorgeous! Another thing that grows well is figs. They grow quickly and produce tons of fruit. High bush blueberries are also a good choice for bushes as well as gardenias (and gardenias smell sooooo good!) Confederate Jasmine smells good too—is a climbing vine that does well. Finally, you might like a magnolia tree—they make great climbing trees and the foliage and flowers are the best for arrangements and they do smell good! Blessings on your move and welcome to the neighborhood!
I actually had my eye on your exact house—been considering different options for moving— guess It’s not an option any more! Lol
I put a cottage garden in my front full sun yard, you might do that. Easy care. All perennials such as-Coneflowers, balloon flowers, coreopsis, lavender, daisy, salvia, spiderwort, blackeyed susan,j blanket flowers. Also plant zinnia, dwarf sunflowers and other annuals that self seed nicely. I just love it and have cutting flowers all summer. God bless you and your family!
I KNOW YOU DIDN'T ASK and this 'used to be information could be wrong now. Not sure????
I don't really think any purchaser of homes moved on wheels really knows w.t.hello they might be called other than this is where we live, it IS CALLED H.O.M.E., yup home. ( I must say… love that kitchen.) Anyway it used to be a trailer house was anywhere from 12 to 16 feet wide. Then a double wide was twice that – two pieces pulled seperately or "almost" twice the width being pulled in one load traveling with "wideload" plaquardes and extra vehicles for warning other drivers of wide load ahead. These have their own wheels and a hitch tongue on the front. To make it perm remove wheels and cut tongue off as well as a perm foundation. These two kinds of movable homes generally are considered personal property not real-estate. Unless you make them permanent. Not really sure about the single-wide???
Most Mod-U-Craft homes are really stick built at the factory. Maybe with some interrior upgrades like real trim work around doors and windows. Option ofreal footers and permanent foundations. These usually still can be delivered and set up with the tractor trailers or little land bound tugboat machines. They are considered real-estate when they have permanent foundations.
Modular homes are the top of the line in factory built housing. They can be huge with more than two pieces to put together on site. They also are homes built with real home measurements, such as wall widths, windows, doorways etc.
They travel fancy with extra vehicles. & wideload necessities. Because of weight differences they often are crane placed on the permanent foundation.
They retain their value like any other on site built home and are considered real-estate not personal property. This home has nicer interior such as better doors with locking bedroom doorknobs. Has real trim and crown molding. It still is a lightweight wood look alike not real wood. It may or may not have wainscoting or real walls. It all depends on size and weight. They have to adhere to allowable travel weights. Still yet it comes with the upgrades offered in the previous, like better interior doors not the balsam wood.. Remember the little planes of balsam wood. Same thing just as cheap and looks it. Don't bump it. Those planes didn't last either. This home has a general "good look" to it like someone cared about its build. Where as the single, double and SOMETIMES moducraft look and behave cheap. Many upgrades are done in time by owners should they care or want to in all of the homes… like any on site built home.
If any home is considered personal property and it has been financed through the seller of these homes…. it was delivered on wheels and they can put them back on it and REPOSSESS your home should the happy homeowner not make payments. It came there on wheels and can roll away the same.
The Hydrangea bushes…. I STILL want them. I've always heard plant them under downspouts. We are starting new again and deciding how to what kind and who for. Much of my deciding is being based on what it will give back. The trees and bushes especially. Where we can we are putting in fruit bearing bushes and trees. If not fruit it has to flower…. even then we are doing it because of some sentiment or memory. However preferring the fruits. If there just isn't enough sun to support either fruit or flower we are looking at lowlights evergreens. Or simply shade flowers/plants verses bush or tree. My aunt always said "shrub roses" are the best roses. They are like beautiful women, they require the least of work to be beautiful and since we all know beauty comes from within…. we shouldn't have to work so hard to see it. Shrub roses!!!
I enjoyed this video. I love being able to see all the steps of making this your new home, from bringing Bear home to hanging the pots and plant shopping.
Perhaps you can check out what wild flowers are native to your area. Cone flowers/echinacea are lovely long blooming options. St Johns wort, oak leaf hydrangeas, forsythia, spirea, loropetalum for beautiful foliage and blooms, weigela, viburnum, and the lovely butterfly bush. 🙂 You could have a colorful explosion of pollinator attractants. Especially if you are thinking of setting up the bees between the modular and the garden belt.
I would love to see what you do with the house!
I know u said low maintenance perennials but zinnias attract the hummingbirds. Catnip keeps the mosquitos from coming in. Not sure ur goals with that space but those are the things that came to my mind. Hydrangeas will look beautiful, maybe some rose of Sharon or hibiscus perhaps peonies (they smell really good) to add those beautiful colors and spring daffodils & hyacinth because they are both beautiful and hyacinth has that lovey smell. Not sure if any of those would hurt the animals I don’t have that glorious struggle yet. I’m so excited to see what u do with it I’m sure it will be beautiful.
