Backyard Vegetable Garden & Patio Tour ｜ Raised Beds & Outdoor Inspiration)

Good morning to my channel. I'm Marlene and welcome to Vanny Orchards. Also, I would like to say thank you to every one of you for your support. I've been busy working on the garden project at the school. I finally in this past two weeks get a chance to work on my own garden. I've neglected them especially where my patio is. Me and my husband, we do a little bit of arrangement. We move two of benches over here and put that instead and get a chance to prune some of my eugenia over here. So today I'm just going to give you a tour to my patio and an update to my privacy and so we move our two benches. Let me show you. And then I put all my right here side by side with this one because it's facing the street and we don't really have privacy. And then the sun just when it's around five o'clock in the afternoon, it's just the sun just really really hit the patio. It's really really hot. So I move them over here instead and at least we have a little bit privacy from the street. Here's one of my orchids just finally finished. I didn't get a chance to video. I've been so busy. There it is. So there's all these cymbidiums, orchids. So all in one row now. So here's my I normally I have the gate right here for the turtle because I don't want them to fall down and hurt themselves. But I actually I block anyway this area with the vegetable so the dog or the turtle can't get in there. So this is where you go to my vegetable garden. And I've been doing a lot of cleaning up and doing a lot of rearrangement. I want something more a little bit easier for me to maintain because it's just so overwhelming with working in the school projects, you know, responsible for a lot of things. And so I move a lot of my plumeria, potting them, and I use around my vegetable garden in the front house. You will see my video in the front house later in the future. I just want something simple and easy to care for. And this is a fish mint. And right here I clean up my raised bed over here, get ready for fall. And I probably in a just like I said in the garden getting ready. And also I just want something simple for me to care for. I don't want to be overwhelming. And so that's my garden. And let me go show you now a little update also to my vegetable garden. See here's my vegetable garden. And also I took out two of my mist figgy. It wasn't grow fast enough. It was just so small. I took it out and put in a pot. I'm going to give away to my sister-in-law. And so I moved some of my fruit tree where my gazebo is. I redo the whole thing. Same thing I will show you in the new future. So I moved two of my plum I put over here instead because see one over here and another one right here. See and so this is where the entrance this is where my benches the two bench right here where the patio is.
