How fun having Benjamin singing and doing his own thing while helping mom! Just love it! Beautiful space and family.
Wasn't that the sweetest?❤
Laura love watching your videos! Have you ever tried wintering over geraniums? You wait until the first hard freeze, pull them out of the ground, shake the dirt off and cut them back. I lay mine out to dry a few days. Shake off any extra dirt I missed and put them in a paper sack. They will appear dead in March but if you plant them and fertilize them the grow. They will be bigger every year. Super easy to do. I even had them start blooming in the spring before I get them planted. You should try it
Lovely!!❤❤❤
Benjamin’s little humming and singing in the background was so sweet!
I agree and his conversation with his mama... the sweetest!
It was the perfect background music for planting! 🎶
Benjamin seems like a very helpful young man. Just a joy to be around. Good job parents.
When we lived in Mobile we had a kumquat tree in our backyard. One day when our daughter was a little younger than Samantha Grace I noticed she looked like a chipmunk. She had a mouth full of kumquats and just this little mmmmm sound coming out of her mouth. Sweet like Benjamin’s humming in the background of this video. A fun memory. ❤🐿️🌿🎶
Love the sweet sounds of a happy boy in the background!❤ You are an amazing gardener, but you and Aaron are even more amazing parents! And THAT is the most important job you will ever have…kudos to both of you!
I completely agree!! ♥️
I grew up up in south Florida. Kumquat trees were the perfect climbing tree because the branches were low enough for a 10 year to reach and the added benefit of a fresh fruit snack. We ate until the corners of our mouth burned. lol. This video triggered a wonderful childhood memory for me. The geraniums in your greenhouse are beautiful. Love your videos.
Me too I thought the same. I live in Florida and we would always climb the kumquat trees. I think the varieties we have here get a bit taller than 6 feet though.
I am 60 years old and I subscribed to the Highlights magazine when I was you and I loved them! I didn't know they where still around!
Good Morning! 🎅 I love hearing Benjamin's voice in the background! He is a good helper & what a perfect learning/teaching atmosphere! 😃🎄🌱🤍
I love Hidden Pictures from highlights!!! Like teaching Kindergarten all over again!!! 👵🏼❤
Your repotting projects today were so satisfying! The sweet little geraniums would make a perfect little gift for someone. Makes me think I should try to grow some seeds♡ My favorite part of your video was Benjamin. ♡ He is such a sweet boy. When he walked up to you, looked into your eyes then smiled at you.... 🥹 I melted. Oh my goodness ♡ Who needs to win the lottery when a mama has a little boys heart!
Continued blessings to your family!
Your precious Benjamin is so sweet! Loved his expression when he came over during the kumquat discussion. That young man adores his mama.
Have you ever considered launching a container line with matching saucers? 🤔
Love your videos, been watching since day one.
Your geraniums are beautiful, Laura. The peach colored at the end are very pretty, too.
Thank you for a peaceful, relaxing tutorial on kumquats and geraniums.
What a fun time! Benjamin is learning so much and I just love how you teach him so gently and sweet 🥰
His saying “ I’ve never done that before” when he was going to pour the soil in the pot. Soooo sweeeeet!
Hi Laura! It was fun seeing, and listening to, Benjamin helping you. He's such a sweet boy. The kumquat looks so much better, and so do the geraniums. Thank you so much for sharing!
Looks like Benjamin is getting very comfortable in front of the camera, look out Laura! 😆 I don’t know how you can tear yourself away from that beautiful Hartley during off season, it’s just another world inside. Love white geraniums, but mine always seem to brown the minute they get wet.
Awwhh.. not only was that a lovely relaxing way to spend a while with Benjamin but right at the end the kitties brought an involuntary smile across my face.. Thank you for such blessings xx
For Benjamin's humming. Thanks!
I started maverick white pelargoniums from seed last spring. I had wanted red, but only white was available, but what a pleasant surprise they turned out to be. It was lovely to spend time with you and Benjamin potting up plants. Thanks kindly!
I grew the Maverick apple blossom last year from seed. 9 out of 10 sprouted. Beautiful all summer. They're in the garage dormant now. Hoping I'll have them again. Thank you!
You’re giving me the itch to start geranium seeds!! I’ve never grown from seed before but I definitely want to try it! Love your Hartley and the flowers that reside there! Benjamin is so adorable and sweet helping mama! Love watching y’all every morning!
Highlights? I didn’t know that was still a thing! I remember Highlights from being a kid and that was 60 years ago!
All good things stand the test of time 😊
I love these ‘puttering around the greenhouse’ winter projects. And I really look forward to all your downtime projects each winter, too. Provides excellent inspiration for some of my own projects I’d like to get started on. (Like the cemeterarium I wanted to start for some green Halloween decor, but never got around to.)
Love these puttering videos too! I wonder if she is going to do a video of her decorating her indoor Christmas trees and decorating the home?? I really have enjoyed those each year! 🥰🙂
The flower pot that you put the citrus tree looks beautiful love to see Benjamin really happy helping you God bless you and your family👍😊💜👦🙏🌳🎅🎄🎄
❤ your videos provide a daily dose of GOODNESS, stability, and normalcy in this chaotic world. THANK YOU ❤
I'm excited to see that Seedling Transplant tongs. Next time, I think you should be able to make the square hole you're planting in, so it would be the perfect size. Love to see you and the kids enjoying the Hartley!
Beautiful day, loved joining you and Benjamin potting plants. He is such a good helper! You are making wonderful memories with Benjamin 🥰
We had kumquats growing all over the place growing up in Central Florida. Our middle school even played in the Kumquat Bowl. 😂 love those beautiful geraniums. I could never have that kind of result.
It is amazing to think that today, I too repotted twi Nagami Kumquats into larger pots, all the way. On the Southern tip of Africa….
Hey Laura I'm sure you're a great teacher For your kids when it comes to plants.
Florida girl here. Calamondin is another interesting citrus tree which can be grown in pots. They have small fruit shaped like tangerines with edible rind and are VERY tart. My mother made preserves with them a few times but we didn’t love it. I have a tree in my yard and I use the juice like lemons or limes.
Edit, your Kumquat will probably drop some of those yellow leaves but as long as there was no damage to the wood it will recover.
Kumquats are fantastic and Highlight's magazine is the best. I am 54 and really enjoyed them when i was a kid!
I like watching you cleanup before and after your little projects (ex. this and window boxes). It reminds me to do the same. 🌸
I love Benjamin singing
When I was in Corfu Greece I had kumquat jam, ice cream, and liqueur. YUMMY!!!
Thank you for the repotting today. Love your new hairdo. Have a blessed day!! Really looking forward to the Q&A with your Dad. 🪴
I like your peach and red geraniums alot. Also, the little gold bunny in a container garden is cute. With your TLC I'll bet your kumquat will spring back soon. Glad to see you have a diligent worker,Benjamin, who likes to help his Mom>Have a great afternoon, Laura!
Okay, you two! Your video framing is perfection at about 16:12 with Laura potting geranium starts, the angle of the shot, flowers and foliage on each side of her tray, green grass through the windows, and mellow music...
You are mental health vitamins to get us through snowy winter until we can go out and play in our garden!
Good morning Laura and Benjamin! Always good to see your helper learning more about what his parents do. The red and white geraniums will be lovely this Spring. Hugs from N.C..❤
Love the red geranium in your terra cotta pot, are absolutely beautiful!🥰
Benjamin is such a great helper to you when you are working with plants. It is a joy to see. Love your videos and family.
A suggestion for the dirtlands one of those self heating in ground long greenhouses. You could grow citrus trees in the ground. The process would be fascinating.
My smile muscles are aching. Benjamin contently sing then helping plant brightens the day. 🎉
Perfection.
A great way to clean dirty - used clay pots ( in a large plastic container) add water, ammonia, splash of dish soap. These agents do not disrupt the plants' growth in any way and the pots come SUPER CLEAN. RINSE.
( can soak any length of time if your interrupted.)
Being from south Louisiana we experienced hurricane Ida. Not only did we loose the roof off our camp ( in a gated community) but we lost all our citrus trees. The cumquat tree is what I miss. We still in recovery two years later but we still feel fortunate! I may replant after we finish recovery! These videos are encouraging! The reason we able to be almost done is because my husband retired after 42 years the day of hurricane!
The tall grey flower pot you used for the kumquat is so beautiful 💖 also, I'm anxious to see how big the geraniums grow throughout the season because I never realized how easy it would be to plant them from seeds 🤷👍👏😊
I love the geraniums in the Hartley,they just look so European in there . Love them in the tiny pots as well ❤️🎄
Good morning Laura, Benjamin and GA family! That pot is gorgeous, the kumquat is going to be very happy! Geraniums are beautiful 😍! Have a blessed day everyone 💕🤗💕
Awe.......Benjamin in the Hartley, playing and singing!! Precious memories!
Lovely and peaceful video with Benjamin singing in the background and helping mom.
Laura , wheels for my potted plants has been a game changer for me.
I just can’t lift those pots any longer.
On another note, my 3 year old potted lemon tree, this year, yielded about 60 lemons. And this is after I thought I had lost it from freezing in my greenhouse last year. I lost all the leaves, I was so bummed , but didn’t give up just like my lemmy!
Loved hearing Benjamin sing Can't believe how much he's grown and such a good little helper ☺️
I cannot believe that I have had my inpatient's growing for three years now. I just did them up be for the frost gets them, and they live.
The geraniums are adorable! Cute like puppies and kitties! I grew up eating kumquats in my grandma's yard in California. Super tart and the rinds were sweet and yummy. It would be fun to capture young Benjamin eating his first one!😊
Use to be able to like on my RUclips tv, but for some reason I can’t anymore. Thank you happy Holidays 🎄🌲🎅⛪️
Looking like a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Even the grass looks fresh. Kumquat plant is new to me. Looks like the Hartley is a picture perfect home for her.
You are the reason I started geraniums last year!! The most satisfying plant to ever grow!! Plus their tiny leaves are just the cutest.
The kumquat looks like it belongs in the Hartley. It was a happy event that it is in the Hartley.
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
I love how you teach Benjamin gardening lessons. And Russell knew Mom was watching him after he showed Cheddar whose boss! Oh, those boys!
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
❤Peggy❤
I really enjoyed being in the Hartley with you while you were repotting the kumquat and the while geraniums! Thanks for sharing that space with us. Benjamin is sure a great helper!❤❤❤
@RealGardenAnswer_On_Tele.gram. Is this Laura? I honestly don’t know what Telegram is.
Love the singing in the background
what a great place to spend time... and i love how Benjamin loves to help and be near you... i love those maverick geraniums.. ordered seeds and have some cute little pots of mine out on the patio (they should be perennial here in southern california)... what a very pleasant afternoon.. hope the kumquat enjoys its beautiful new home!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
I’m sorry I was not looking at you and kind of spaced out at the end. What a beautiful view from your planting station in the Hartley! ❤ Have a great day everyone!
Regarding saucers for pots… not sure if you would like this idea but I recently saw an idea to repurpose old glass (crystal or the like) plates or dishes like you see at estate sales, flea markets and antiques stores. I thought I’d start keeping an eye out for some that are affordable and good sizes. Maybe give a second life to some things that seem not be as used these days.
Yes, I did that too, they give a pretty touch to the Terra cotta pots, I also found some clear glass fire king and Pyrex, I think they are for pies, or small round baking dish, but they have a pretty floral design etched into the glass and a couple have decretive handles, look pretty too as saucers they are nice for a little bigger pot.
@@anneb7913 awesome. Thank you for the wonderful ideas. Love the baking dish ideas. Sounds delightful. I bet it looks very nice but not too much to distract from the planting. Happy gardening!
@@feistycitrus You're Welcome! 🙂 Thank You, Happy Gardening to you too.
I love the simplicity and beauty in this video with sweet Benjamin and your excitement over the gorgeous, newly potted planter. Your videos cannot be beat! :)
Your little lollipop bush in the background at the end of the video looks really good!
OMG!!! Highlights was my favorite and my Mom did the same for her grand girls.
I've never grown geraniums from seed but bought a selection for this spring because of your beautiful plants last season. I cannot wait to get them started!
So fun that you get the have Benjamin hang out with you at work! He is such a sweet boy.
We use kumquats as Christmas decorations too! They are beautiful when drying and amongst orange slices dried and pine cones, they are gorgeous for a centerpiece 😀
Love a good kumquat! I also like eating the skins on guavas! The ones I ate were wild, and we ate them right off the bush in Hawaii, where I was living at the time.
Laura, I love your kumquat. I haven't never had a kumquat, the pot you reported it in is so beautiful they look amazing together. The geraniums look so cute in the little pots. Benjamin is growing way to fast, he's such a sweet , cute little guy. Don't Blink.
Hello..Laura and Benjamin. What a wonderful day for the two of you! Benjamin you are such a helper to your Mom. Great job!❤
IT'S ABOUT TIME! My kumquat is desperately needing a new pot and here in Florida I didn't want to put it in the ground as they grow SO big and I wanted it small and easy to reach! Your video came at the perfect time for me. I've heard that cactus soil is what to use but it just sounded wrong so now to repot my poor neglected plant. LOVE the skin - I peel it with my teeth and throw the sour inside away - YUM that skin!
It's wonderful to see Laura taking time to teach Benjamin! Here's hoping the kumquat turns green!
in your recap video sunday you were uncertain how to respond to a texas viewer about petunias. Here in New Orleans, we have the same situation: jealousy of you being able to have big lush fully blooming petunias all summer. For us, they are cool-weather flowers. We plant in October, they develop roots thru our mild winter, then put on a fabulous show in the spring. By may, the heat and humidity blast them to oblivion. This year, for the first time EVER, I kept two troughs of Vista Bubblegum alive until august - but the blooms grew more and more sparse (despite a trim and fertilizer) and even though they are techically perennials (I had hoped they'd recover with the onset of cool weather), they were just twigs, with no hope to regain their glory. so we'll just do 'em our way and continue to admire yours in amazement thru your 100 degree days....
Benjamin is such a joy, he learns so fast and is so helpful. You are a good mom. Love the tree. Love the geraniums, they will be beautiful this Spring. Such a pleasant way to start my day, Thank you and have a great day
Hi Laura! Question. Why are you supposed to put a plant in a little bit bigger pot rather than a much bigger one? Wouldn't it be like putting it in the ground If you put it in a much bigger pot? 🤷♀️ Just curious 🙂
It is so good to see that Hilite magazine and Benjamin's joy doing them, then helping and you teaching him. I killed a plant by having it near the door and the cold air hitting it when I would open the door.
Can't wait to see how those white geraniums turn out.
I may have to send my littlest Grands Highlights. I loved doing them at the doctor's office!
I might have to stick my hand into a fresh bag of potting soil once in a while this winter, just watching Laura do it makes me feel better 😃 The Hartley looks so cozy, I enjoy your projects in there, especially with Benjamin humming a tune.
You should try loquat part of the citrus family, it’s sweet and you can eat the skin. It does have a seed but it’s really a amazing fruit! You can even make a tea out of the leaf’s. It’s the first thing ripe in early spring. Very common here in California they even grow on the side of the road.
Oh my GOODNESS!!!! I always love your containers!!! That galvanized bowl is beautiful!! I constantly look at thrift stores for cache pots or random vase vessels but I swear your collection amazes me haha you always pull such stunning pieces out! Also I didn’t know kumquats were so small! Such a cool addition to the collection!
Laura, you inspired me to purchase all of the Maverick Geranium seeds because yours were gorgeous last year. In past years I purchased seed geranium plants in the spring, but the flowers usually aren't that large. I've also saved seeds from those seedling geraniums and have been able to grow them, but like I mentioned, the blooms aren't terribly impressive. Here's to larger more beautiful flowers in 2024.
My mom would love to have a comquat. I'll suggest it after she gets comfortable with lemons and limes.
Great video today love your fruit tree looks lovely in the new planter.
Highlights were my favorite magazine growing up.
I still have some that I purchased for my grandchild.
Very educational!❤❤
Oh those wee pots are adorable!
Can one grow geraniums at anytime, or does it have a certain time of year?
You make growing plants so easy, Laura. I know you’ve been doing that for years, but regardless you also make it fun especially when you interact with Benjamin and Samantha and of course Aaron as well. 😊💜
❤ LOVE how your kids always come first ❤
I enjoyed this video, and you got your helper with you! He’s just learning!
I'm temporarily in an apartment and this video has me wishing we were in our forever home so I can start geraniums from seed again. (The 'we' is me and my 4 cats). Very satisfying video for a winter day.
I can relate so well that tree my grandparents had over the back fence it was always evergreen fruit bearing and because central coast is subtropical there is no protection needed I do believe the tree is still there my grandparents moved from that place four years ago still alive and well but as a kid I remember eating that fruit and having a sour mouth.
My dad loved citrus fruit, so he planted all kinds when I was a child, including kumquats. 🍊
Benjamin is such a joy. What is your sink made of, and are you happy with it? I was considering an enameled cast iron one, but was concerned about it showing scratches.
That pot, with that kumquat is gorgeous!!!!
The Meiwa kumquat is the sweetest of the cultivars. I have one of them and they are delicious. I wouldn’t say that they are very sweet, but are pretty good. I have it in a pot and feed it the espoma citrus as well. It will be fine, it might lose the leaves, but it will bounce right back 😊
I loved hearing Benjamin sing in the background ❤
Love this! I am growing a kumquat & it is fruiting for the first time! Great tips 👌
I grew Maverick this spring after I saw your beautiful coral colored ones. They grew like beasts! They love our South Carolina heat.
