    Boy, I really love the long shade planter box! The Pegasus Begonia is spectacular along with the torenia, begonia and coleus! Stunner! I get to plant the pots at the mini mall where I work. It gets early morning sun and then shade the rest of the day. This would be a perfect combo for next year!♡ I planted a few of the Surefire Cherry Cordial Begonia in my front beds, and I love they way they glow when the sun hits them. Extra props to Rosa... she is working hard to keep all those beauties growing ♡

    Oh my God, Laura seriously you think that maybe !!! we take something away from you by you showing us how things grow. I don’t think you realize how much your videos influence and motivate us. I have so many of your suggestions in my garden. I feel like every turn I take it’s something that you have suggested or shown I just love your videos. I love all the things you show and suggest. I wish that I would write down more when I watch the video the first time so I can use them next year, But when I don’t, I go back to watch your videos again before the next season and that’s when I write down some of the flower names so I can look for it in my local nursery. And I have to say that I am really looking forward to trying that purple combination, that was gorgeous. Never doubt that everything you do affects the rest of us in such a positive way. Thank you for everything you do.❤

    I planted the Catalina White Linen torenia this year in a part sun area. They have been constantly in a mass of blooms since the beginning of May. They are performing better than any of my Superbells or Supertunias. I do nothing with the torenia at all. They may have had slow release fertilizer when I planted them. I water them when I think of it. They are always in flower but never seem to have spent blooms. I have three of them in a pot with a white begonia. They are dominating the begonia. I’m in Zone 7 and we are hot and humid.

    Thank You for taking us to see how the college gardens are doing! When you mention that you want to use more of this or less of that, or a different variety of something, do you note it in a planning calendar or do you go back to your videos to remind you what you decided the season before?
