    One of the many functions you guys provide is giving people permission to learn, to experiment, to fail.
    They have not yet gotten their gardening "legs" based on questions, repeated questions, but will if they keep at things.
    Failures really are not, they are learning. The more they garden, the more they learn.
    They have their local county Master Gardeners, local gardening groups, favorite nurseries, community gardens/botanical gardens/arboretums, RUclips channel favorites, pbs shows, library books, etc.
    The more done, the more learned. One of my favorites is doing something "experts" say address this way (pruning for example), I did not know, just did that way/opposite without knowing, plant is fine.

    I think that not being stressed about plants does come from being able to have access to many plants. When I worked at a nursery I just plopped plants in and I didn't stress over it growing or not. However now every plant is much more precious because it's hard for me to find and pay for all those plants. Like full price makes a huge difference!! If a plant doesn't make it I may not be able to afford another or find that kind again.

If it is an outdoor plant, it most likely has been under watered (exceptions are herbals like lavender, rosemary and cacti/succulents). ANY mark down gets a spray down of Captain Jack's Dead Bug and Copper Oxide (for disease).

    Milk jugs are great for winter sowing. This year, I winter sowed in upside-down clear plastic bins. I put a sealed bag of top-soil on the bin top on the ground, cut open and removed most of the top of the bag, and sowed my seeds directly in the soil bag. The clear bin then went on top to create a little greenhouse. You do have to poke holes in the soil bag for drainage and the clear bin to allow for natural watering. It worked like a charm!

    I have been impressed by the practicality of not stressing too much when things go wrong with plants and projects. I have been better about that in general, but there are some exceptions. Like on my family farm where I grew up. I grieved over a white weeping birch tree that died because the lawn around it was taken out and my family somehow forgot the tree still needed to be watered. That tree was “my friend “ as a kid. I spent so much time up in its branches reading and lost in my own world. I didn’t even still live there when it died and I still miss it like family.

Their recommendation was call local garden centers and if they didn’t have what you’re looking for, ask if there’s a possibility for you to special order or if they’d consider it in the future

    I don't mind when Christmas decorating starts, and I get that retailers need to start early, because for them the season really is over as of Christmas Day. BUT - the First Day of Christmas (as in the song) was historically, December 25, and Twelfth Night, when the big parties happened, marked the End of the festive season, January 6. Traditions change and newer materials, like artificial trees, etc., make it easier & safer to extend the season, and the hype can build from Halloween on. But I am always disappointed when Christmas just disappears immediately on that one day. To me, it has only just gotten started. My favorite Christmases ever have always involved stretching out the celebrating as long as possible. Christmas Eve guests in my home; Christmas Day with family; Boxing Day plans with close friends; New Years Eve, and New Years Day smallish events; and Something (even just lunch in a restaurant with folks you care about, back when it was allowed) on January 6, to mark the official end. I try to talk up the Twelfth Night thing whenever I can, because Christmas has morphed into a GET GET GET festival. The month, or more, leading up to Christmas is about preparing for the holiday, including SO much shopping, so to have it over in12 hours seems such a let down. How does one start a movement? because I'd like to start a movement to bring back Twelfth Night, and a more gentle, simple fellowship to just put a bow on the end of each year.

      I have a friend that has his big party on January 6th. He runs a flower/gift show and decorates big homes for Christmas. January 6th is known by many Christians as Epiphany but also Three Kings Day and more :)

      As a child, Christmas started for us Christmas Morning and went through until Jan 6-- Santa brought the tree and it came down the weekend after Jan 6th (unless it was a fire hazard). Nobody had trees up more than a week before Christmas and never heard caroles before Dec 1

    So enjoyed the recap. Made us chuckle when you said you usually take your Christmas decorations down before New Years Eve. We put ours up after Thanksgiving and we have three tons of decorations, it seems. So, we take the outside decorations the first week of January and then the inside items come down right after Valentine's Day. So fun!

      I grew up on a farm near Laura and Aaron. We had a large lawn around the house and used farm irrigation water to flood irrigate that lawn. We had lots of fun as kids playing in the flooded yard on watering days.

      Usually when it rains in Laura’s area( I live here, too) it is too cold to want to go out and play in. We can have all three months of summer with virtually no rain. Maybe you live where it rains when it’s warm?

    My daughter lives in town in a little apartment but has a tiny little square of a flower bed in front of her porch. She planted annuals this year and enjoyed them so much, enjoying what grew successfully and learning what didn’t do so well. I recently visited her and bought a variety of bulbs to plant this fall. She really loved this little activity, deciding how to arrange the bulbs. She’s really looking forward to spring. I told her we have to brighten the corner where we are! I love your videos. They are so inspirational. ❤️

    Ignore comments like the last. The property is large and not every little area or nook will be perfect all the time. It is well maintained and not to mention a huge work in progress. That’s obviously the back of the neighbour’s property anyways. There isn’t one person here who would want a camera on every part of their house and yard….
    Love your videos and the positivity you bring to everyone and wish nothing but the same for you in return.
    All the best, from BC Canada.

    I chopped my nail once when a watermelon rolled when cutting it. The Dr. lifted the nail cut it back and put stitches underneath where the nail would have been. It healed up great. Losing a nail looks traumatic but thankfully skin and nails grow back. Scars are proof of a life well lived.

    I ran a landscape business in my young days. I loved having my knees on the ground while planting flowers or laying sod. Unfortunately, I got chiggers in my knees by having my knees directly on the ground, (with thick jeans on). I'm 60+ now & that happened when I was pregnant with my 2nd child (who's now 39 years old). I still remember that intense itch and will for the rest of my life. OMG!

I thoroughly enjoyed the other one you did, but would love to see how you do it now. I hope you have a good day helping decorate at Andrews. That would be so much fun! I don't do any Christmas decorating until after Thanksgiving. I don't like overlapping the two holidays, and then I try to have everything put away the day after Christmas. That's how my Mom used to do it, too. Thank you so much for sharing!

    I buy online usually for really large sizes. Mostly they are still independent garden centers and typically they are beautiful, well shipped and affordable.
    At least in my small town this is mostly the only option. The garden centers we do have mostly carry a pretty standard selection that is common here.
