I hope you see my comment I love your videos. I always loved helping my mom plant flowers an I always water them to I love flowers an I am 11 years old I love your vids
Who else immediately went to download that throw blanket pattern?😄 I've been eyeballing that thing forever but assumed Laura bought it somewhere and it wasn't available anymore. Laura, you're so crafty! Is there anything you can't do? 😁
The Monday recaps are always something I look forward to. What’s going to get me through the workday now?? Lol. I hope you guys don’t get burnt out doing so many videos. I love them all but slow down if you feel overwhelmed ever! I would be so sad if you got burnt out and stopped making them.
Me too... I actually find myself going back and referencing old videos.. I enjoy watching them so much that sometimes I've watched them more than once and have definitely turned on all my Friends and Family to Garden Answer ... Seen again everybody sees me wearing my awesome and sweatshirts hats and T shirts from Garden Answer LOL I'm truly addicted to Gardening Now
I worked the 3 to 11PM shift all my life so I could garden in the AM. I placed my moon garden along the driveway so it would greet me when I got home close to midnight. added lots of highly scented things.
Thank you!❤️ Had to giggle a little bit as I haven’t heard you talk soooo fast before! You must have had your coffee right before filming! Ha! You are one beautiful young woman who is very gifted and very intelligent! Love following your channel! Be blessed!!❤️
I just loved you mom's boots. I'm glad someone else thought to ask about them. I'm coming to Cleveland Saturday with my mom and husband. So excited to meet you!
Just sitting down to watch it now Always the best part of my Monday's I'm fine with any day you want to do the recap videos always look forward to all of them thank you so much for including us
wow, that was jammed pack with information!! i will miss you on mondays but certainly understand - 6 videos a week plus IG and FB Stories, and i don't know how you do it all, lol... love the idea of doing videos on plant groupings (grasses, shade plants, colors, etc)... it seems we have an endless supply of questions and now you have an endless supply of videos!!! hooray for us!! hooray for you!
They do such a great job I mean seriously they need a vacation but of course they need to have a lot of videos compiled so that we don't miss anything lol
Haha, our driveway is a sheet of ice so when I was backing out to go to work I tried to catch a little of the snow on the edge and got stuck!!! Central Michigan here, and no flowers what-so-ever! =D It's ok though, I have a lot of planning to do before spring hits here. Enjoy your flowers!!!
Unfourtinatly I have a hard time getting my hands on espoma succulent soil in any close by stores so I am stuck using miracle grow cactus mix. After 4 rounds of soil gnats I ALWAYS microwave my soil in a ziplock bag in the microwave. It smells horrible but ITS 100% worth it to avoid soil gnats. I have shed more tears than I want to admit over my frustration with getting rid of soil gnats 😫!
Ok, now it will be the best part of my Tuesday. My daughter edits photos and it takes lots of time and with the quality of your videos I’m certain it takes lots of time. Keep up the good work💐 love your channel!
Thanks for the morning video Laura and Aaron. I’m here in Perth, Western Australia so I know what everyone is taking about now with enjoying Garden Answer with my morning coffee ☕️🥰

For me it doesn’t matter when you put up your videos, I’m just happy to see knew ones appear! I can only imagine how much work is involved in the whole process. Thank you and Aaron and your helpers for all that you do! I am a knitter too and an avid user of Ravelry. Your throw is lovely!
Ilse Jacobsen boots :) it’s a danish brand, and I recognized them right away being danish. It’s nice to see elsewhere in the world. She also do really nice raincoats btw.
I just bought all 4 packs of seeds from proven winners a couple of days ago! I’m so glad you are still planting vegetables and I’m so interested to see what you have in mind for a cut flower garden.
I absolutely love your videos and you. The videos are so well put together and informative. I can honestly say I learn something new from each of the videos. Thank you for what you do and keep smiling! Your smile always makes me happy. :-)
Always love when I see a notice that y’all have a new video up!! That said, please don’t stress over dropped fern leaves. This is your home you are opening up to strangers. You don’t have to do what you do; but you are gracious enough to do so. Thank you for doing it! Carry on. I look forward to the next video. ♥️🌱🌷🌻
I live in a smaller town in TX. Most of the time I can't find Proven Winners stuff so I have ordered a couple of times online. The plants came in just fine and bulbs were no problem.
Thank you for answering my question. I have heavy clay soil too, "pot forming" clay in many areas too. Sounds like I'll be moving it this in spring. Gonna be the year of moving plants for me! Thanks again.
Something that I've noticed is that you often show yourself walking around, for example when you planted the delph and foxglove. Do you have multiple cameras set up already as you walk, or do you literally have to stop and move the camera to record yourself in transition? We love to see you throughout your garden, I'm just curious that seems to me like it would be a LOT of work :)
I have thought exact same thing seriously so much work.. especially on the day is you know she's doing it by herrself.... And Aaron's camera work and editing is absolutely incredible I'm glad they got some help for their new guy Chris (I think that's his name)
I’ve been growing cuttings for several years. I take them in the fall and overwinter them in my basement. I take cutting from these and maybe another time. I have always had trouble with fungus gnats (I think that is what they are called). After watching another channel, I l learned that if you put boiling water in the starting mix, you wouldn’t have much of a problem, if any. This winter I have been doing that, and I have a fraction of the gnats that I’ve always had. I also use those yellow sticky cards. I have not had to change them yet this year.
The add that just came on is of You and Aaron with the tool rack attachment for the lawn mower, unexpected. I have built mine on my tractor using a heavy duty 27 gal black and yellow tote and wood. I hinged the tote so that it dumps completely upside down. Thanks again for the idea.
Can you create a video/list of pretty things that come back each year that we can start from seed? I’m in the broke folk gardening stage and would love to have some pretty things that I can start cheap.
I agree I spent so much money when I 1st discovered Garden Answer I went a little too crazy 🤪 on Annuals now that I've been watching Garden answer for while I'm definitely working on more perennials. 🌿🌸🌿
Lisa Mahan girl same! I remember couple years ago I went crazy thinking annual meant it comes back year after year. Ugh! My heart still hurts after all the money I spent. I learned the hard way what that terms meant!
Ladies...there are plenty of annuals that will reseed themselves and keep coming up year after year. Try zinnias or cosmos. They have all the color and they will reseed and come back from the new seed. Also, they are so easy to harvest the seed. Just pop off the flower when it starts to dry out. When you pull the dried petals out, there is a little arrow shaped seed on the end. I don't even bother to remove it. I just sprinkle the dried petals all around and get hundreds of flowers.
I’ve been known to spray paint my boxwood green after that type of mishap. A couple of light sprays does wonders. It lasts through the rest of the year. One year, a worker was careless with the roundup (long time ago) right before the Spring garden tour. Talked it over with the owners, took a few sprigs to the paint store to customize the best shade of green and it worked like a charm. Not trying to be deceitful and being fully prepared to fess up, no one inquired that day. Certainly wasn’t going to wear a sign or anything. There was a couple of close calls though. I’m reminded of I Love Lucy when she planted the wax a Tulips. LOL
Hi Laura, i love your show, you and your husband and crew do a fantastic job!! Anyway, i wanted to suggest to you "eggs and pillows!" These are floral design tools by Syndicate. (No affiliation, i'm a floral designer and these semi new tools are a game changer!) they look like chicken wire but made of green plastic. the eggs are for hand held bouquets and the pillows are for shallow containers like the one you described today!! i'm sure you'd love them!!
You guys need to do what’s best for you and I would never want you guys to exceed your limits, however I will say, Monday’s are hard and it’s always a nice ending to my day to come home to these videos so I will miss the Monday pep video but still looking forward to it on Tuesdays! Thanks for all you both do!
I save your recap videos to watch when I can completely focus on it with no interruptions. One of my favorites! You are so generous with your time and knowledge. I am looking forward to adding a lot of your cut garden suggestions to mine this year that are appropriate for zone 9b. Thanks, Laura and Aaron!
Hi Kathy another Garden Answer fan (Who Al's made a comment) is going with her family her name is Melissa I am so jealous 💚 I will ask you the same favor ...please tell Laura Lisa Mahan said Hello....😉🤪 🌿🌸🌿 I hope you have a fabulous time... 🌿🌸🌿
I would totally prefer it in the morning. It is longer than other videos which I don’t mind but I would prefer to watch it during breakfast or lunch. Dinner and night time is for family. Love this new schedule!
This is such a relatable video. I used to work retail and understand not knowing the POS systems. Making RUclips videos and trying to spot everything in the background is so hard. I would love to see more on container gardening and I am surprised that you do not have an avocado growing. Mine is 3 years old 6 feet tall and I have no idea if I am taking care of it correctly. You are my source for great gardening information.
💡OMAGOSH!☝🏻 one more thing..will u be planting Moonflower vines in the moon garden?!! I absolutely adore them & I plant them every year. Actually..they're the very 1st seeds I start bc they take forever to bloom...but I love those big fragrant white blooms so much..I don't care if I only see them for a short while as long as I see them!😍 (last year I grew them on big tomato cages & their foliage was lovely, too)
It will be great to see plans, I plant a lot of pot now till we get through painting in April. I'm like you I need to see it, so plans on paper are hard to visualize. I get so confuse what to plan where due to the sun. We are in a 6b zone and I'm on my second all around the house planting due to replace sliding, painting, and replacing drip lines through out the flower beds, and things just not working out last go around. This will be my last time planting so it needs to work out. Forgot to say I had a professional landscaper last time to do my planning and they had things that were not compatible to this area and that is why it failed I think. So looking forward to all your upcoming color and types of plants videos.
My husband and I have suggested names for your tree person. My suggestion is Zephyr because your prevailing wind comes from that direction. My husband suggestion is Mergatroyd. When he was a boy a family friend made up names for his two brothers and himself, Mergatroyd was his. He always wanted to stick that name to something.
YES - PLEASE provide a 'Black Walnut Video'. I hope you will address juglones in general, because I recently learned there are several trees which create juglones in the soil, including Hickory. Hickory seems to be why I have lost several shrubs that are not juglone-tolerant. I have no Black Walnuts, but do have several old and mature Hickories. Now I am trying to find shrubs that will survive these conditions.
Can you do a video, showcasing/talking about different plant combinations for different zones? For example I live in a zone 10 so your plants are wildly different! Maybe you can do a more tropical themed arrangement or pot?
Laura, I’m always happy listening to you teach me numerous gardening tips. At the end of your videos I find myself waving and saying goodbye to you- A gardening pal! So fun!
When you were talking about your sweet peas you said that you went back and " pinched um back". Can you please put that on video... VISUAL LEARNER here :) Thanks
Laura, I am also in Southeast Louisiana in Zone 9 (like one of the viewers that sent you a question) and yes, we do not have enough cold weather for some of the plants to perform. I also think that even though our highs may not be quite as high as yours sometimes, our lows in the summer time are between 75 and 80, so we have so many straight hours of intense heat. Couple that with the humidity, and it is brutal for the plants. I sure do wish that we could plant all of the plants you do. You are such an inspiration and your garden is absolutely beautiful. And, of course, seeing Benjamin is always extra special. Thanks again for all you and Aaron do. It is greatly appreciated.
For the user who wanted to know about the green pan that you use to do your seedlings, you could go to home home Depot or Lowe's and in the Mason department they have the black color ones for like $6 they have bigger sizes as well I think the biggest is perhaps under $20 but the one for $6 would suit your use.
Tray is Tidy Tray. The garden center I work for gets them from TDI. Also please check with U of Wa extension before you post on the Walnut tree issue. I recommend that you visit the Garden Professors FB page and search for walnut alleopathy or juglone-it is controversial. You should incorporate that Scabiosa (pronounced scab-ee-o-sa) into your cutting garden. S. 'Black Knight' available from Select Seed and so easy to grow.
Would love a video later on how to take out the root system of old shrubs. Cut down really old rose bush that was scraggly last year but the roots are so entwined in the ground it seems very difficult to dig out and I would like to plant something new in this location.
Id love to see you do a video on your favorite RED blooming plants, because we know you prefer every color other than red, so varieties that you do like that are red must be only the best!
Wow!!! Seriously is there anything you can’t do? That blanket is gorgeous !! I have to say I didn’t notice the mishaps behind you, I’m so fascinated with what you have to share with us. What can you plant under redwood trees we have pine needles every where?
I will watch your Videos whenever you post them. I enjoy long but I watch all of them. I don't look for things wrong in your videos. If I happen to see something it's like, that is something that would happen to me. I never judge. I couldn't even see the leaves on the floor when you pointed them out. You do Awesome Videos! Don't stress out about the little things. God Bless you and your family this year and in your future.
I love that so many asked about your mom's boots! I live in Denmark and the brand is Danish! Ilse Jacobsen is the well known designer and the word "Hornbæk" is the Danish city where she started her small business. I did not knew you could even get them in the US. So funny 😊 Love your videos guys! Always amazing content :-)
The Plumbago the question was referring to is P. auriculata (syn. capensis), not frost tolerant, shouldn't go below 6°C, dies back in winter and -hopefully- flushes back in spring if it was well protected in the cold season! I was puzzled at first as well when you mentioned Plumbago, then you showed pictures and I realized it's a different species altogether (Ceratostigma vs Plumbago), though both belong to the Plumbago family
I totally understand that planning style. I'm a visual person too. Plus, I like to buy the discount plants and you can't plan for that. However, I still ask that you take us along for the ride (especially since we think similarly). I really get lost in all the beautiful plants and procrastinate on decisions or get nervous about hardscapes (I really need help with that since my house is already brick... I don't want to have to much of a mish-mash). Maybe even just a hardscape video?!?
I also need to see how you pinch back seedlings, I'm not sure I know how to do correctly. I'm worried about starting seeds inside, I don't have good luck keeping them alive before planting outside. Maybe next year you can plan a trip to the Chicagoland area, I missed out on the dates at your garden and can't make it to Ohio this weekend. Would really love to meet you and Aaron, I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos. Would love to see an ornamental grass video, I'd like to add more this year to my garden.
Could you please do a video on how to stake delphiniums? I planted some last year and because of wind they needed staking but there has to be a better way than how I did it because it kind of interfered with some blooms! Thanks 😊
Stumbled on your channel and totally love your content and style. So excited to find out that you're practically in my back yard! It's awesome to get info that's specific to my climate (Middleton ID). Thanks!
I think that gardening and knitting do go together, so cool that you are the knitter. Are you as good in knitting as you are in gardening. I love to knit too. I am wandering if you did knit anything for that cute little Benjamin ?
Laura, Olivia is not alone...add me! :)) I heard you mention walnut trees a few times in your blue flower video and I thought, gosh! I could use a whole video series on what to grow and such! My land is surrounded by them. I have learned to garden the best I can in different areas, but I sure would watch what you had to say about it all! Thank you!!
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy these review videos. So informative. Please don’t stop. I also just wanted to say I LOVE the direction you are headed this season. I know content is a struggle and you are nailing it. I just love y’all!
Hi Laura and Aaron! Another great recap video! I really enjoy these. I'm really looking forward to a video on ornamental grasses. I have 2 approx. 18 dia. pots that I want to grow some perennial grasses in. Purple Fountain is my absolute favorite, but they don't winter over in Nampa, ID. I used to plant them in the pots every year, but the root system is so extensive that it became too hard to remove since I have arthritis in both hands. I would love to find a grass that is really close and hope you can recommend one. Any videos you mentioned will e fun to watch. Thank you so much for sharing!
Maybe I’m weird but I love these longer videos. I learn so much and it’s always fun to get updates on your garden. I’m all in for loner question videos. 🙂
Looking forward to your moon garden! Wondering if the area near your front porch/sun room (where the air conditioning unit used to be) may be a nice spot to do a small version of a moon garden? That way you can sit on the porch and enjoy it! 🌙🌿
Can you do a video on rain gardens and/or how to fix problems with too much water in your landscape? We have put 10 yards of dirt into a large low area in our yard and still have a lake when it rains, I dont want to buy anymore dirt!
I would LOVE to see a video on anything you do with your old lilacs. I've inherited some which are old and were abandoned for a number of years. I know they need a lot of work, but I have no idea where to start!
I hate to sound contrary- but, I've had bug issues with every kind of soil/soilless mix I've used for seed starting. Most bags have little holes in them to prevent moisture buildup & bugs do get into them. Plus, places where mixes are mixed!, are open to their inside environment & stuff happens. I haven't sterilized mixes yet, but, I think I will this year by baking them in the oven because I HATE APHIDS.
I watch these shows twice because there is so much information in a small amount of time. most times I catch stuff I missed the first viewing because I was processing what you said before. lots of good information and entertainment on your channel.
Whoop Whoop we are going to start some Winter Sowing in Milk cartons. So big on the net x When i recover from Major foot Surgery. 6 weeks in a Boot 6 months full recovery x
If you make another video with specific colours of flowers would you please consider making one for peachy/apricot/blush coloured flowers? I find it so hard to find the perfect balance between pink and orange and I think you mentioned this was something you struggled with too in one of your videos...other than roses I can't come up with a lot of flowers in that colour and would love some inspiration :)
Dear Laura ~ 1. Love, love your arrangement! Your the sweetest daughter. 💗 2. Have you seen my idea about the rainbow 🌈🌈 garden in the side yard yet?🌈🌈 I think you would love that color challenge. You have the perfect spot for it and you asked for ideas!!!! 3. Please tell the kitties hello! And Aaron, & Benjamin too!
Hi, Laura! I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks for making these recap videos! I’m pretty busy these days with young grandkids and don’t always get to watch all of your videos, particularly the longest ones. I like these recaps a lot! Best wishes for an early spring in your part of the world. Here in central Florida the camellias are gorgeous and the azaleas are coming on too. I try to hold off on cutting things back until March 1st, but this winter has been so mild I know I won’t be able to wait that long. 💙
I would love a video on black walnut trees. Ours was so tiny for years and in the last year it’s gotten huge. How and when do we prune and what can we plant that will grow close to it. Love watching you guys!!
My garden has been terrible after the black walnut volunteered and no one took it down. Thank goodness I'm moving to a new yard soon and there are no black walnut trees in my yard. The neighbor has them (not really close) what is the distance that they can affect?
I hope you see my comment I love your videos. I always loved helping my mom plant flowers an I always water them to I love flowers an I am 11 years old I love your vids
Thank you Kristopher! 🌿😊
Garden Answer your welcome I would love to come an see all your flowers face to face to see how pretty
Keep up the GREAT work Kristopher

I didn't notice any fern leaves on the floor or the fallen topiary! I'm too engrossed in the information you're sharing!
Me either. We are more critical of ourselves then of others.
I didn't either!
I didn't until she mentioned it. That was sort of funny. After all, we are humans.
In that west side flower bed it would look really pretty if you seeded it in wild/native flowers, it would also be great for pollinators.
Thanks again for the recap! Your change to Tuesday mornings makes sense 👍. I believe you, you do work hard!
We don’t mind long videos don’t worry 😉 also I just love these videos!! Getting all these questions answered is so incredibly helpful!!!
You can use pin frogs in your shallow vases! They're more expensive but last forever and you can do cool ikebana arranging.
I just bought all 4 packs of seeds from proven winners a couple of days ago! I’m so glad you are still planting vegetables and I’m so interested to see what you have in mind for a cut flower garden.

Ditto
Something that I've noticed is that you often show yourself walking around, for example when you planted the delph and foxglove. Do you have multiple cameras set up already as you walk, or do you literally have to stop and move the camera to record yourself in transition? We love to see you throughout your garden, I'm just curious that seems to me like it would be a LOT of work :)
I have thought exact same thing seriously so much work.. especially on the day is you know she's doing it by herrself.... And Aaron's camera work and editing is absolutely incredible I'm glad they got some help for their new guy Chris (I think that's his name)

This is the only good thing about Monday’s! 😂 Hiding out in my garden watching! 😊
I'm so happy your vegetables will be where there were...I was really sad thinking they wouldn't be there. Love the plan for Tuesday morning ♥
Don't listen to what RUclips says about the length of videos cause we love them!!! 🥰🤣😊:
I’ve been growing cuttings for several years. I take them in the fall and overwinter them in my basement. I take cutting from these and maybe another time. I have always had trouble with fungus gnats (I think that is what they are called). After watching another channel, I l learned that if you put boiling water in the starting mix, you wouldn’t have much of a problem, if any. This winter I have been doing that, and I have a fraction of the gnats that I’ve always had. I also use those yellow sticky cards. I have not had to change them yet this year.
The add that just came on is of You and Aaron with the tool rack attachment for the lawn mower, unexpected. I have built mine on my tractor using a heavy duty 27 gal black and yellow tote and wood. I hinged the tote so that it dumps completely upside down. Thanks again for the idea.
I was thinking a video with your Mom and Benjamin and you, planting some of his first plants would be so cool to see...
Can you create a video/list of pretty things that come back each year that we can start from seed? I’m in the broke folk gardening stage and would love to have some pretty things that I can start cheap.
I agree I spent so much money when I 1st discovered Garden Answer I went a little too crazy 🤪 on Annuals now that I've been watching Garden answer for while I'm definitely working on more perennials.
🌿🌸🌿
Lisa Mahan girl same! I remember couple years ago I went crazy thinking annual meant it comes back year after year. Ugh! My heart still hurts after all the money I spent. I learned the hard way what that terms meant!
Ladies...there are plenty of annuals that will reseed themselves and keep coming up year after year. Try zinnias or cosmos. They have all the color and they will reseed and come back from the new seed. Also, they are so easy to harvest the seed. Just pop off the flower when it starts to dry out. When you pull the dried petals out, there is a little arrow shaped seed on the end. I don't even bother to remove it. I just sprinkle the dried petals all around and get hundreds of flowers.
Delphiniums, foxgloves, echinacea, gaillardia, penstemon, delosperma cooperi (hardy ice plant), dianthus, lupine, columbine, rudbeckia, catmint nepeta, perennial geranium, aster, yarrow, tall flox, pincushion flowers, heliopsis, gaura, hollyhocks.... I hope this was helpful,good luck with your garden! ☺️
I’ve been known to spray paint my boxwood green after that type of mishap. A couple of light sprays does wonders. It lasts through the rest of the year. One year, a worker was careless with the roundup (long time ago) right before the Spring garden tour. Talked it over with the owners, took a few sprigs to the paint store to customize the best shade of green and it worked like a charm. Not trying to be deceitful and being fully prepared to fess up, no one inquired that day. Certainly wasn’t going to wear a sign or anything. There was a couple of close calls though. I’m reminded of I Love Lucy when she planted the wax a Tulips. LOL
Hi Laura, i love your show, you and your husband and crew do a fantastic job!! Anyway, i wanted to suggest to you "eggs and pillows!" These are floral design tools by Syndicate. (No affiliation, i'm a floral designer and these semi new tools are a game changer!) they look like chicken wire but made of green plastic. the eggs are for hand held bouquets and the pillows are for shallow containers like the one you described today!! i'm sure you'd love them!!
The face of the tree through the window cracks me up
Would love a black walnut video! I have a beautiful hundred year old one in my back yard but I’m lost when it comes to underplanting it.
You guys need to do what’s best for you and I would never want you guys to exceed your limits, however I will say, Monday’s are hard and it’s always a nice ending to my day to come home to these videos so I will miss the Monday pep video but still looking forward to it on Tuesdays! Thanks for all you both do!
I save your recap videos to watch when I can completely focus on it with no interruptions. One of my favorites! You are so generous with your time and knowledge. I am looking forward to adding a lot of your cut garden suggestions to mine this year that are appropriate for zone 9b. Thanks, Laura and Aaron!
I can not wait to see you Saturday!!! So excited you are coming to Cleveland 😁
Hi Kathy another Garden Answer fan (Who Al's made a comment) is going with her family her name is Melissa I am so jealous 💚
I will ask you the same favor ...please tell Laura Lisa Mahan said Hello....😉🤪 🌿🌸🌿
I hope you have a fabulous time...
🌿🌸🌿
I would totally prefer it in the morning. It is longer than other videos which I don’t mind but I would prefer to watch it during breakfast or lunch. Dinner and night time is for family. Love this new schedule!
Restez Calmes et sane here! I like to watch on my lunch break at work!
This is such a relatable video. I used to work retail and understand not knowing the POS systems. Making RUclips videos and trying to spot everything in the background is so hard. I would love to see more on container gardening and I am surprised that you do not have an avocado growing. Mine is 3 years old 6 feet tall and I have no idea if I am taking care of it correctly. You are my source for great gardening information.
💡OMAGOSH!☝🏻 one more thing..will u be planting Moonflower vines in the moon garden?!! I absolutely adore them & I plant them every year. Actually..they're the very 1st seeds I start bc they take forever to bloom...but I love those big fragrant white blooms so much..I don't care if I only see them for a short while as long as I see them!😍 (last year I grew them on big tomato cages & their foliage was lovely, too)
It will be great to see plans, I plant a lot of pot now till we get through painting in April. I'm like you I need to see it, so plans on paper are hard to visualize. I get so confuse what to plan where due to the sun. We are in a 6b zone and I'm on my second all around the house planting due to replace sliding, painting, and replacing drip lines through out the flower beds, and things just not working out last go around. This will be my last time planting so it needs to work out. Forgot to say I had a professional landscaper last time to do my planning and they had things that were not compatible to this area and that is why it failed I think. So looking forward to all your upcoming color and types of plants videos.
I actually stayed awake anticipating this video, its after 1am here 😂😂
That’s dedication!!! Thank you! 🥰
Jack you will be happy that they are switching this video to coming out on Tuesday mornings now instead of Monday evening. 😁
My husband and I have suggested names for your tree person. My suggestion is Zephyr because your prevailing wind comes from that direction. My husband suggestion is Mergatroyd. When he was a boy a family friend made up names for his two brothers and himself, Mergatroyd was his. He always wanted to stick that name to something.
YES - PLEASE provide a 'Black Walnut Video'. I hope you will address juglones in general, because I recently learned there are several trees which create juglones in the soil, including Hickory. Hickory seems to be why I have lost several shrubs that are not juglone-tolerant. I have no Black Walnuts, but do have several old and mature Hickories. Now I am trying to find shrubs that will survive these conditions.
Can you do a video, showcasing/talking about different plant combinations for different zones? For example I live in a zone 10 so your plants are wildly different! Maybe you can do a more tropical themed arrangement or pot?
Laura, I’m always happy listening to you teach me numerous gardening tips.
At the end of your videos I find myself waving and saying goodbye to you-
A gardening pal! So fun!
When you were talking about your sweet peas you said that you went back and " pinched um back". Can you please put that on video... VISUAL LEARNER here :) Thanks
Theres a video she made last spring about pinching sweet peas.
ruclips.net/video/eQ1973O3mX4/видео.html
Thanks for the reference :)
Laura, I am also in Southeast Louisiana in Zone 9 (like one of the viewers that sent you a question) and yes, we do not have enough cold weather for some of the plants to perform. I also think that even though our highs may not be quite as high as yours sometimes, our lows in the summer time are between 75 and 80, so we have so many straight hours of intense heat. Couple that with the humidity, and it is brutal for the plants. I sure do wish that we could plant all of the plants you do. You are such an inspiration and your garden is absolutely beautiful. And, of course, seeing Benjamin is always extra special. Thanks again for all you and Aaron do. It is greatly appreciated.
For the user who wanted to know about the green pan that you use to do your seedlings, you could go to home home Depot or Lowe's and in the Mason department they have the black color ones for like $6 they have bigger sizes as well I think the biggest is perhaps under $20 but the one for $6 would suit your use.
Tray is Tidy Tray. The garden center I work for gets them from TDI. Also please check with U of Wa extension before you post on the Walnut tree issue. I recommend that you visit the Garden Professors FB page and search for walnut alleopathy or juglone-it is controversial. You should incorporate that Scabiosa (pronounced scab-ee-o-sa) into your cutting garden. S. 'Black Knight' available from Select Seed and so easy to grow.
Would love a video later on how to take out the root system of old shrubs. Cut down really old rose bush that was scraggly last year but the roots are so entwined in the ground it seems very difficult to dig out and I would like to plant something new in this location.
I appreciate all of your efforts into making these videos for us!! I know how difficult it can be. Thank you!!
Me too
Garden Answer is the Best
Id love to see you do a video on your favorite RED blooming plants, because we know you prefer every color other than red, so varieties that you do like that are red must be only the best!
Laura- look up a Holly Chapple pillow or egg to arrange flowers in a shallow dish! They’re pretty awesome and you can use them over and over again!
Wow!!! Seriously is there anything you can’t do? That blanket is gorgeous !! I have to say I didn’t notice the mishaps behind you, I’m so fascinated with what you have to share with us. What can you plant under redwood trees we have pine needles every where?
I will watch your Videos whenever you post them. I enjoy long but I watch all of them. I don't look for things wrong in your videos. If I happen to see something it's like, that is something that would happen to me. I never judge. I couldn't even see the leaves on the floor when you pointed them out. You do Awesome Videos! Don't stress out about the little things. God Bless you and your family this year and in your future.
I love that so many asked about your mom's boots! I live in Denmark and the brand is Danish! Ilse Jacobsen is the well known designer and the word "Hornbæk" is the Danish city where she started her small business. I did not knew you could even get them in the US. So funny 😊
Love your videos guys! Always amazing content :-)
The Plumbago the question was referring to is P. auriculata (syn. capensis), not frost tolerant, shouldn't go below 6°C, dies back in winter and -hopefully- flushes back in spring if it was well protected in the cold season! I was puzzled at first as well when you mentioned Plumbago, then you showed pictures and I realized it's a different species altogether (Ceratostigma vs Plumbago), though both belong to the Plumbago family
I totally understand that planning style. I'm a visual person too. Plus, I like to buy the discount plants and you can't plan for that. However, I still ask that you take us along for the ride (especially since we think similarly). I really get lost in all the beautiful plants and procrastinate on decisions or get nervous about hardscapes (I really need help with that since my house is already brick... I don't want to have to much of a mish-mash). Maybe even just a hardscape video?!?
YES! A Google Sheet! I love spreadsheets and have one started for my garden that I'm starting this year :)
I also need to see how you pinch back seedlings, I'm not sure I know how to do correctly. I'm worried about starting seeds inside, I don't have good luck keeping them alive before planting outside. Maybe next year you can plan a trip to the Chicagoland area, I missed out on the dates at your garden and can't make it to Ohio this weekend. Would really love to meet you and Aaron, I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos. Would love to see an ornamental grass video, I'd like to add more this year to my garden.
I would really love to see alone video on ornamental grasses also..
🌿🌸🌿
Yay! Cant wait to see you Saturday!!! I may just fangirl hahahahaha
Excited to meet you! ❤️
Have a Fabulous Time
🌿🌸🌿
Could you please do a video on how to stake delphiniums? I planted some last year and because of wind they needed staking but there has to be a better way than how I did it because it kind of interfered with some blooms! Thanks 😊
Stumbled on your channel and totally love your content and style. So excited to find out that you're practically in my back yard! It's awesome to get info that's specific to my climate (Middleton ID). Thanks!
I think that gardening and knitting do go together, so cool that you are the knitter. Are you as good in knitting as you are in gardening. I love to knit too. I am wandering if you did knit anything for that cute little Benjamin ?
Laura, Olivia is not alone...add me! :)) I heard you mention walnut trees a few times in your blue flower video and I thought, gosh! I could use a whole video series on what to grow and such! My land is surrounded by them. I have learned to garden the best I can in different areas, but I sure would watch what you had to say about it all! Thank you!!
YES!!!! Please do a video of what will grow under black walnut trees!!! I have an acre with 6 BW trees! I have a love hate relationship with them!
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy these review videos. So informative. Please don’t stop. I also just wanted to say I LOVE the direction you are headed this season. I know content is a struggle and you are nailing it. I just love y’all!
Yes, please post all the seed planting videos, and you could even give us updates on the seeds you planted in past videos!
Hi Laura and Aaron! Another great recap video! I really enjoy these. I'm really looking forward to a video on ornamental grasses. I have 2 approx. 18 dia. pots that I want to grow some perennial grasses in. Purple Fountain is my absolute favorite, but they don't winter over in Nampa, ID. I used to plant them in the pots every year, but the root system is so extensive that it became too hard to remove since I have arthritis in both hands. I would love to find a grass that is really close and hope you can recommend one. Any videos you mentioned will e fun to watch. Thank you so much for sharing!
It doesn't matter when you post, I will always watch them. I look forward to each one. Thank you.
Maybe I’m weird but I love these longer videos. I learn so much and it’s always fun to get updates on your garden. I’m all in for loner question videos. 🙂
Looking forward to your moon garden! Wondering if the area near your front porch/sun room (where the air conditioning unit used to be) may be a nice spot to do a small version of a moon garden? That way you can sit on the porch and enjoy it! 🌙🌿
OMG, you also knit! What can you not do? 😁 Thank you for all the content you share!
Right? Every time she is asked who made something, her answer is ` I did ' . I don`t think there is much she can not do. I'm so jealous!!!🤣
Can you do a video on rain gardens and/or how to fix problems with too much water in your landscape? We have put 10 yards of dirt into a large low area in our yard and still have a lake when it rains, I dont want to buy anymore dirt!
I would LOVE to see a video on anything you do with your old lilacs. I've inherited some which are old and were abandoned for a number of years. I know they need a lot of work, but I have no idea where to start!
I hate to sound contrary- but, I've had bug issues with every kind of soil/soilless mix I've used for seed starting. Most bags have little holes in them to prevent moisture buildup & bugs do get into them. Plus, places where mixes are mixed!, are open to their inside environment & stuff happens. I haven't sterilized mixes yet, but, I think I will this year by baking them in the oven because I HATE APHIDS.
I could listen to you longer with no problem! 🤗🤗💜
Thank you Laura for the script feedback and taking time to answer all our questions on a weekly basis, you guys are the best 👍💚🌿
I watch these shows twice because there is so much information in a small amount of time. most times I catch stuff I missed the first viewing because I was processing what you said before. lots of good information and entertainment on your channel.
Whoop Whoop we are going to start some Winter Sowing in Milk cartons. So big on the net x When i recover from Major foot Surgery. 6 weeks in a Boot 6 months full recovery x
I love long videos! This one was great cant wait to see your next video on the proven winners seeds!
If you make another video with specific colours of flowers would you please consider making one for peachy/apricot/blush coloured flowers? I find it so hard to find the perfect balance between pink and orange and I think you mentioned this was something you struggled with too in one of your videos...other than roses I can't come up with a lot of flowers in that colour and would love some inspiration :)
Dear Laura ~
1. Love, love your arrangement! Your the sweetest daughter. 💗
2. Have you seen my idea about the rainbow 🌈🌈 garden in the side yard yet?🌈🌈 I think you would love that color challenge. You have the perfect spot for it and you asked for ideas!!!!
3. Please tell the kitties hello!
And Aaron, & Benjamin too!
I love that your videos and you are not perfect. That’s why you are so relatable. 🌷
Loved it when you n your mum took a picnic because xmas to go looking for greenery.
Hi, Laura! I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks for making these recap videos! I’m pretty busy these days with young grandkids and don’t always get to watch all of your videos, particularly the longest ones. I like these recaps a lot! Best wishes for an early spring in your part of the world. Here in central Florida the camellias are gorgeous and the azaleas are coming on too. I try to hold off on cutting things back until March 1st, but this winter has been so mild I know I won’t be able to wait that long. 💙
I would love a video on black walnut trees. Ours was so tiny for years and in the last year it’s gotten huge. How and when do we prune and what can we plant that will grow close to it. Love watching you guys!!
My garden has been terrible after the black walnut volunteered and no one took it down. Thank goodness I'm moving to a new yard soon and there are no black walnut trees in my yard. The neighbor has them (not really close) what is the distance that they can affect?
No matter how long....I’d watch it all. ;) One hour is just perfect!
