    EVERYONE LIKE SO LAURA READS THIS! GREAT IDEA! Have your mom take a picture from same standing location, same angle, same flower pot everyday she is downtown at work! Then at end of season (or even during like monthly maybe) do sped up clip of all pictures all edited together showing the growth of the plants!
    WOULD BE SO COOL! LOVE YOU ALL!

    My 5 year old daughter is watching with me this morning and wanted to help teach Benjamin how to plant. She said he’s gotta tickle the roots more to wake them up 😄 that’s her “special trick”! ❤

    Laura: “You wanna plant one?” Benjamin: (long pause)… “Suuure” That was incredibly precious, watching Benjamin plant his first pepper plant. You are such a good Mom & teacher, Laura. Thank you for the gift of watching your children grow, alongside you as a gardener. Very special moments indeed 💞

    Hi Laura and Aaron! It was nice seeing you helping your Mom with the city pots. It's always a joy to see her in the videos. I like the Americana theme your Mom chose for the pots, and of course, the purple fountain grass. They'll be so pretty once they fill in. It was fun seeing Benjamin helping, too. Thank you so much for sharing!

    I'm so happy to see you and your mom enjoying things together. My mom has been basically out of it for years. Dementia is not a fun thing to watch or have to take care of. But we still take care of her no matter what. Enjoy your mom time. We were robbed of ours but thankful for the time we had. Love all these flowers! I plant for my dad. He loves sitting and looking out at all of them. Blessed his heart... He will be 91 this summer!

    So good to see Mom and Benjamin today. Question about the iron supplement for chlorosis: does an acidifier need to be added at the same time for it to be effective?
    Your family has a remarkable level of service to the community that’s inspiring!! Thanks for taking us along!
