FYI garden answer - I ordered a sprayer from your site, it was super easy, i received it 4 days later! Super easy process and great customer service. Received notices when i placed my order, shipped it, day of delivery and delivered, that's superior customer service! Soooo good job Ken!
So many jewels in this one…Laura saying “screw it!” And Laura talking about Benjamin’s army men casualties and Aaron saying “Do you ever forget to breathe?” 😂
I used to watch these videos solely for the information, but now I continue to watch for the information and to laugh at your banter and comments. Thank you for making Sunday mornings even better!
I’m surprised you don’t feel like a garden celebrity! The amount of ppl I talk to that have mentioned your name….you are so famous in the garden/RUclips world, most definitely a celebrity in my books 😂
Completely agree! A couple years ago in a local garden center talking with an employee one of us mentioned Laura and we both did the whole fan girl thing for a moment about how much we love her! 😊
If you have watched for any length of time and “know” Laura you know she isn’t going to be comfortable thinking of herself as a celebrity and for me that’s just one of the things that makes her so enjoyable❤
Wasn’t he doing that for engagement, so people would comment? I’ve heard that people do that on purpose for that reason. It definitely caught my attention! 😂
Your usual humility shines when you say you don't think of yourself as famous garden content maker. I'll have a fat head for you! You are most certainly very famous!!! One of the top in our country!!! 💚💜💙💛🐸😎
For sure!! people don’t appreciate how much time filming actually takes! To get all the camera angles right along with the sound and light! Plus the editing on top of that! Very time consuming. You guys make it look easy. Wildlife cameras around your property would be pretty good as that footage could help pad out a video if needed! Especially when you get the horses!
Ya. They’ve mastered the art of getting the right angles while filming. And always making sure that no hands are blocking the view of what they’re talking about. Makes it so enjoyable.
Hoselink is a dream of mine! A hilarious sign of how different my dreams are now, but I love it! My gardens and beautiful plants, roses, dahlias, and sooo many others are such a joy! And it all began with watching Garden Answer videos when I was too sick to do anything else. I’ll always be grateful 🙏🏼❤️
Hi guys, my husband and I just finished watching this episode and I wanted to let Aaron know that the editing of garden answer is always perfect and extremely enjoyable to watch. So, well done to any of you who edit. I also wanted to mention how incredible your shipping process is. I’m a Prime member through Amazon and you guys are typically quicker and more efficient than they are…that’s saying a lot. Thank you. ❤️
This past week in the garden department of the local Lowes another lady and I struck up a conversation. She asked if I knew who Laura was! LOL! Of course!
The Benjamin stories are just the cutest thing ever. I love his imagination, reminds me of when my brother was little. He was the exact same way, all weaponry and machinery lol. Boys will be boys 😎
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️ Another great recap. Excited to see the woodchip pathways in the “dirt land”. Who am I kidding, I’m excited for it all 😝 Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈
How refreshing - a Pond and Garden Tour with top notch You Tube stars that we all love, and an optional dinner with a reasonable cost that is going to charity.
I ordered a red one so I wouldn’t lose it in the yard. 😂 I had a little green one that I could never spot once I moved a few feet away from where I was working.😅 Can’t wait to get it!
You are quite famous in the gardening world-but it’s great that you realize we can all learn from each other and you remain grounded. It’s what makes you so special 😊
You could easily use your existing tractor to move/turn a compost pile. You’ll need minimum five piles per year. One being a dumping pile/area, one being freshly built from the dumped grass/cuttings, two being turned at least once a month and one ready to use. I think you’d enjoy it, Arron. It’s satisfying keeping the piles turned and tidied. Monitoring the temperatures, etc. No need for 20 plus cubic feet piles. If you ensure brought-in hay/straw for the horses is herbicide free, the bedding/droppings will boost the process even better. Would recommend droppings from recently wormed animals are excluded from the cycle.
Im sure it would be so much easier to work without having to constantly move cameras and you amaze me with your filming from so many angles on one project when you are by yourself. Of course if you weren’t filming you wouldn’t have as much work to do because you probably wouldn’t have been able to buy all that land and hundreds of plants - so pros and cons. I love that you both get to work from home and are there for the kids.
I love my Hoselinks! And now gift them…. Everyone loves them. Has been great for pools, gardening, and car-washing 🎉 I am so excited for my kneeling pad. And got a second for my friend who also follows GA!!
I love my Hose Links. I did have one fail; the company sent me a replacement so quickly and with absolutely no hassle. What a wonderful product. I did order two kneeling pads as a gift for my daughter and son-in-law who are in the process of turning their new to them acreage into their own. I know she will love it.
Very pleased with my order from your store! About a design for the kneeling pad...I've been looking for that little saying, "The kiss of the sun for pardon, the song of the birds for mirth, one is nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else on Earth." How appropriate to put that on a kneeling pad! Love you guys!
Idea - seasonal kneeling pad colors. Jewel tones sold in fall, light tones in spring, bright colors for summer. It could be a way to draw in repeat costumers with a limited edition color. 💚
That was an interesting comment, "imagine how much you would get done if you were not filming". It made me think, would you have a garden like you do if you were not doing youtube videos? I mean the reason you have so many projects is because you have a youtube channel, right? It just made me laugh and then think. I LOVE your videos and you have helped me tremendously, thank you!
Laura because of you……my garden clean up is done. I love how you tackle your projects and take us along. I didn’t get to trim my roses last year because of a hip injury and they didn’t do well. I did this year. Hoping for healthier roses this year.
Speaking of pronunciations. My example of a wrong way learned from my mom’s family (it’s not even regional because my cousins are the only ones I’ve heard it from as time goes by.). The word is “lawn”. You know , the green grass you mow in your yard. My mom said “LAWND” with a D on the end. I learned it this way until I got into school. My moms family was from Utah. Anyone else heard it this way? I’m guessing if you have, we’re probably related.
So glad you continue to work with hoselink. We got one last summer and it is amazing! Getting a second for the back yard this year and gave one as a Christmas gift for my parents. If you’re wondering if you should get one or not, this is your sign!
I recently ordered a sprayer, pruners, and kneeling pad (among a few previous items). Thank you for making these items available, and SO easy to get our hands on. I agree with the comments that everything I have ordered from you have been shipped so quickly and arrived safe and sound. Thanks!
This was funny to hear you think you can get more done without filming (which makes sense), but you get so much done as is, in my opinion! I watch your videos and admire your endless energy so much!
I got my tickets for the meet and greet and pond tours as soon as I found out about the event! So looking forward to meeting you!!!!❤️ So excited you’re coming to my area!
How bizarre! It sounded like it was at their headquarters so I started looking for their address and it made me go through human verification to even get to the contact page and still didn't say! @@kathyorris5579
Watching everyday is great and it’s the first thing I do but I also love these answer question discussions to hear you both chat back and forth about so many topics, Thanks and have a great week!!🌷🪻🌼
Thanks for all your garden tips. Shout out to Ken, I ordered a long sleeve tshirt & felco gloves. Received pkg and then received a 2nd pkg by accident. Ken politely ask me to send back & I did. Always be honest and you will feel better in this life ❤
Oh Wow!! A corner-mounted hoselink guide. You showed us a ground guide before which seemed very useful but this one would make placing a hoselink possible in areas I didn't think I could. Thanks Laura!!
I just placed another order through your shop and I must say, you have a very easy to navigate website. What a pleasure to use. Thank you for being you…
I just ordered a kneeling pad but not for garden use. I have tile floors and I just can not get down on the floor to dig around in cabinets or clean like I used to. I have been using a standard garden kneeling pad but they just are not big enough for my knees and ankles. But I think Laura's will work just fine. THANKS!!
Bird Seed! I was curious about how to keep bird seed from sprouting. Nyger seed apparently is treated by heating to 250 'F for 15 minutes. A couple of sites suggested a 300 degree F oven for 30 minutes. One other suggestion was to put up multiple feeders with one kind of seed in each feeder, so the birds can eat their favorite thing without throwing around stuff they don't want.
Hi Laura and Aaron! You might try telling Benjamin that he can't play with your puzzle pieces. He's smart and would certainly pay attention. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love your channels! I must say, I laughed when you mentioned Kevin's pronunciation of camomile. 🤣 I stopped and replayed his video because I was thinking, "WHAT? Have I been wrong all these years?" 😂 Ok, back to finishing your video. 😉
Hello Laura and Aaron. Just a tip about bird feeders. My chicken runs are large, so they aren’t covered, but open to the sky. I hang bird feeders in them, and the chickens clean up any mess the wild birds make. I also have them hanging from Shepard hooks around the yard. Just move them before mowing. xox 🇨🇦
For large piles to compost, big operations often use forced air through tubes under the pile so you don’t really need to turn it. Would love to see you all compost all of that. 🤩
Kneeling pads with a couple of different season flowers on them would be pretty cool! Aaron, you're so sassy! Love it! A big shout also to the two GA film editors. Awesome job, guys💜
I have just a regular sized lot in a subdivision in Little Rock, AR with five big trees in front and two in back. I had the great idea to pile leaves in my flower beds to help protect them from the few really cold temps we get. I have started the cleanup and this week was working on biggest bed closest to my house. I had raked quite a bit. Been down on the ground with hand rake and stood up to knock leaves out of my taller azaleas when I came face to face with a snake! When I had gotten a lot of distance between me and him I turned around and saw another one slithering up the azalea and then here came the babies!!!😳😳 It looked like Medusa in my azalea bush! Next year there will not be one leaf left near my house and I will be hiring someone for the job!🤣😎✌🏻
I would’ve DIED, right then and there!! I’m glad you didn’t get bitten!!! The earliest I’ve seen a snake her in Nashville, TN, was on 2/16 one year!!! I can’t stand them! They sadly keep me out of my garden as much as I’d like to be. I’m constantly afraid of another unwelcome “encounter!”
Thank You for the development of the shop. Later during early summer I plan to order the sprayer-PLEASE restock the store frequently. On the recent video where items were mentioned I quickly went to the store and the sprayer was sold out already! I checked the manufacturers website too, SOLD OUT THERE ALSO-WOW!!! GREAT JOB KEN-the store is looking FABULOUS. I am set up for notices-VERY excited about these products 😊
Laura you are a celebrity. 😊 Gardeners here in Utah have posted pictures they took with you, your mom and Monica when they visited the garden center. I think if you were a guest and did a meet and greet at any home and garden show in the US people would line up around the block to see you. 😊❤
I am glad you have an online store -- especially as long form video and gardening both appear on decline. Most of the RUclips gardeners have a store that sells stuff, whether partnerships or their own branding. I have SO many things that I have seen from your videos that I cannot name them all (from big to small stuff). I support some of the other sites so am thrilled to be able to get stuff from yours. If close on price or even somewhat more, I will purchase from your site and only wish that I wasn't already loaded up from my last three years of purchasing stuff that you've shown in your videos.
On the compost topic, if I remember correctly, Erin showed how they move their huge piles on Growing Floret. I think Aaron could move it with his tractor, and you could save all the plastic from the bags you use. 😊
Hydrogen peroxide and water for fungus gnats. I have a tiny pine tree i got around Christmas for work that had fungus gnats. I read a mixture of hydrogen peroxide 1part to 5 parts water works and tried it. Haven't seen a fungus gnat since!
Wow! Thanks so much for that tip! I’ve battled with them often in the past using mosquito bits but it takes forever to rid them. I will try your solution next time they appear. 👍
Yes Laura! I love all the new additions to y'all's shop 😊 kneeling mats are an excellent addition too ! I Now what i do to keep the fungus gnats away us this i add Very hot water to my soil. Turn it through let it get cool to the touch. Then i proceed to potting up as usual. No more gnats !!
What a great week with Garden Answer! Already got my confirmations on my "Mother's Day" gifts of kneeling pads, just got my email on the July 20 event! Can't wait! St. Charles is only a bit over an hour from us here in Southern WI. So anxious to see the pond setups too! Sorry if I sound a bit like a 'stalker fan', and don't want to wish our lives away - but come on Summer!
Darling Laura, I've been gardening professionally for more than two decades and every week I learn new things from you! Last spring I heeded your advice and cut all the raspberry bushes down to about 4 inches. The bumper crop in September was well worth the wait! Last year I was a little late to do it as they were already showing signs of breaking buds, and I worried muchly, but it worked just as you said. I am growing in full sun but in a raised bed on a rooftop. The bed is no more than a foot deep, if that, and they spread rigorously and fruited abundantly. Definitely will try the Fall Gold variety in the near future! Thank You from every corner of my multifaceted heart! (Added note, maybe add a little natural food coloring to your Fall Gold jam... beetroot powder for instance.) Thank you Aaron! and the whole Garden Answer team, for everything you do, and for the Love and Beauty you bring!
That event is only an hour away from us!! I'll definitely be there with my daughter (she's 9, almost 10, and a big fan of your channel) as well, so exciting!
I agree about first sign of plant growing…I planted fescue in my yard last fall…oh my goodness…I was watering 2-3 times a day…and when that beautiful blue green hairs…hahaha…pure delight…looking for springtime and start mowing…Im beyond excited!!
I’m sorry Benjamin is 6????? I feel like the other day I saw your announcement video about having a little baby boy. It’s crazy how time flys by. Y’all’s little ones are the sweetest/most fun!!!
Zormier: The leader of any plant carries the hormone Auxin, causing it's continued long growth. Side growth carries the hormones Cytokinins. When a leader is cut off, it stops the Auxin in the leader & pushes the Cytokinins, which promotes lateral growth. If you have leggy plants & cut the leaders on each stem, you get a flush of lateral growth, resulting in a fuller plant.
Bird seed mixes like sunflower chips don’t make a mess or sprout because the seed has already been opened so there is nothing to leave behind or sprout from. It does cost more and I think it also shortens shelf life but the birds love them in my experience.
We started composting with bins then switched to doing it in a pile. When we did it in bins the kids would rake the leaves and put them in, and excess kitchen scraps the kids would run them out to the bin. We would pick up sticks they also went to the bin. One year the kid's science project was on composting. We chuckled that they were working on their science project for years with trip to the bin. This was a great teaching lesson for children watching and learning how things break down. When we switched to doing it in a pile, we just ran a garden tiller threw the pile a few times.
Laura, I don't mind your videos with "just one" garden task in the least (like the Lavender). 😊 They're still very interesting and I think it makes it easier to reference later. Thanks for these recaps. I learn so much from them!
We are so lucky to have an industrial composter here that takes residential waste (yard waste, meet, dairy, pet waste, etc). We have a wheelie bin the size of a trash can and it gets picked up weekly or every other week. They serve the restaurants, too, and serve them daily. We get a compost share in return! (though we do still pay for the service, but it's less than $40/month)
So funny that someone else pointed out the insertion of the pronunciation of Obelisk. It was something I noticed and commented on. That sass is definitely Aaron 🤣 Spelling and pronunciation is something that I have been "in competition" with my older sister with, probably all our lives. In our 40's now. for those of us that are particularly good at it, I think we forget that it is something that some people struggle with. It's a topic that can require a careful approach, to avoid getting someone "off-side". One of our favorite shares lately is misheard lyrics videos for laughs. Love these re-cap videos, to see the banter between you two. Thank you, from Australia 😊❤
Greetings, Laura and Aaron, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA Great video and lovely to have you visit. I have my coffee ☕️ and I'm watching 👀 Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍 ❤Peggy❤
Kneeling pads with the kitties on them. Like cartoon Russell, Cheddar and Douglas would be so cute.
Yes! GREAT idea! I would buy them! 🐈
YES!!! Great IDEA!!!!!@@joannam369
Benjamin love of battle may be that he's destined for the US Military. Future General Benjamin.
I want a tshirt with the kitties
They have a tshirt with Russel and cheddar on it. It is so cute!!!!@@lauracorbett7775

Very good customer service I ordered at Christmas time. Very important to have customer service ❤
I was too late, out of stock so hoping it’s not too long till back in the store. Supposed to get an email when it’s available. 🤞
Same here !!
Same here!
So many jewels in this one…Laura saying “screw it!” And Laura talking about Benjamin’s army men casualties and Aaron saying “Do you ever forget to breathe?” 😂
I loved it! Probably about the worst we will ever hear from Laura. I can't imagine her or her mother really cursing.😅😅 😅
I used to watch these videos solely for the information, but now I continue to watch for the information and to laugh at your banter and comments. Thank you for making Sunday mornings even better!
Exactly! I love the banter and I’m glad it isn’t edited out. It’s so lighthearted and we all need more laughter in our lives. ❤️
I’m surprised you don’t feel like a garden celebrity! The amount of ppl I talk to that have mentioned your name….you are so famous in the garden/RUclips world, most definitely a celebrity in my books 😂

Laura's Feelin' The "Garden Celebrity" Vibe All Right, She Just Keeps It All In Check.
If you have watched for any length of time and “know” Laura you know she isn’t going to be comfortable thinking of herself as a celebrity and for me that’s just one of the things that makes her so enjoyable❤
15:47 “it’s going to be 54, no breeze and sunny today” I was waiting for Laura to say, “That’s my Jam!”
I keep wanting to comment that I want her recipe. 😂
Yes Kevin was definitely making a joke with the pronunciation of chamomile 😊
😮😂😂😂
Kevin is hilarious!
Cho mom o lay! Lol. 😂
LOL The number of people offended or confused my that joke made it even funnier
Wasn’t he doing that for engagement, so people would comment? I’ve heard that people do that on purpose for that reason. It definitely caught my attention! 😂
Your usual humility shines when you say you don't think of yourself as famous garden content maker. I'll have a fat head for you! You are most certainly very famous!!! One of the top in our country!!! 💚💜💙💛🐸😎

Is anyone else bummed about not having the viewer send in garden pictures this winter? I know it was a mild winter but I loved these vlogs last year!

Good answer, ten years younger! I was always told it isn't polite to ask a women her age!😊
Great recap. I love the conversations between the you and Aaron. Take care and have a blessed day.
Aaron says "oh really?!" and I burst out laughing. I had to hit replay a few times. Lol. Laura's face. Lol. Shes right, "sas". Lol
I just placed another order through your shop and I must say, you have a very easy to navigate website. What a pleasure to use. Thank you for being you…
Oh Aaron! We all love the “ sass “! 😂
I just ordered a kneeling pad but not for garden use. I have tile floors and I just can not get down on the floor to dig around in cabinets or clean like I used to. I have been using a standard garden kneeling pad but they just are not big enough for my knees and ankles. But I think Laura's will work just fine. THANKS!!
Good idea!
I use a garden kneeling pad when washing my kitchen floor too.

At 17:16 that moon arch kinda looks like a modified hay feeder for cattle. You might be able to make one.
I appreciate your faith in my abilities but I have zero handywoman skills lol

I hang bird feeders in them, and the chickens clean up any mess the wild birds make. I also have them hanging from Shepard hooks around the yard. Just move them before mowing. xox 🇨🇦

For large piles to compost, big operations often use forced air through tubes under the pile so you don’t really need to turn it. Would love to see you all compost all of that. 🤩
Kneeling pads with a couple of different season flowers on them would be pretty cool! Aaron, you're so sassy! Love it! A big shout also to the two GA film editors. Awesome job, guys💜
I have just a regular sized lot in a subdivision in Little Rock, AR with five big trees in front and two in back. I had the great idea to pile leaves in my flower beds to help protect them from the few really cold temps we get. I have started the cleanup and this week was working on biggest bed closest to my house. I had raked quite a bit. Been down on the ground with hand rake and stood up to knock leaves out of my taller azaleas when I came face to face with a snake! When I had gotten a lot of distance between me and him I turned around and saw another one slithering up the azalea and then here came the babies!!!😳😳 It looked like Medusa in my azalea bush! Next year there will not be one leaf left near my house and I will be hiring someone for the job!🤣😎✌🏻
I would’ve DIED, right then and there!! I’m glad you didn’t get bitten!!! The earliest I’ve seen a snake her in Nashville, TN, was on 2/16 one year!!! I can’t stand them! They sadly keep me out of my garden as much as I’d like to be. I’m constantly afraid of another unwelcome “encounter!”
Good morning Aaron and Laura. I appreciated the video on pruning lavender. Much love everyone from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Another Sunday morning which means another Garden Answer Highlights video. These have became my weekly favs!!! Thank you all!!!
💕👍💕
Thank You for the development of the shop. Later during early summer I plan to order the sprayer-PLEASE restock the store frequently. On the recent video where items were mentioned I quickly went to the store and the sprayer was sold out already! I checked the manufacturers website too, SOLD OUT THERE ALSO-WOW!!! GREAT JOB KEN-the store is looking FABULOUS. I am set up for notices-VERY excited about these products 😊
Laura you are a celebrity. 😊 Gardeners here in Utah have posted pictures they took with you, your mom and Monica when they visited the garden center. I think if you were a guest and did a meet and greet at any home and garden show in the US people would line up around the block to see you. 😊❤
I am glad you have an online store -- especially as long form video and gardening both appear on decline. Most of the RUclips gardeners have a store that sells stuff, whether partnerships or their own branding. I have SO many things that I have seen from your videos that I cannot name them all (from big to small stuff). I support some of the other sites so am thrilled to be able to get stuff from yours. If close on price or even somewhat more, I will purchase from your site and only wish that I wasn't already loaded up from my last three years of purchasing stuff that you've shown in your videos.
On the compost topic, if I remember correctly, Erin showed how they move their huge piles on Growing Floret. I think Aaron could move it with his tractor, and you could save all the plastic from the bags you use. 😊
Laura and Aaron, love the new shop. Your followers are very loyal.lots of love.
Hi Laura, loved watching you make the sweets with the kids in the Hartley.
Loved this week’s recap! I ordered my kneeling pad and look forward to retiring my pitiful looking old one. 😂
Good morning GA family ❤
Hydrogen peroxide and water for fungus gnats. I have a tiny pine tree i got around Christmas for work that had fungus gnats. I read a mixture of hydrogen peroxide 1part to 5 parts water works and tried it. Haven't seen a fungus gnat since!
Wow! Thanks so much for that tip! I’ve battled with them often in the past using mosquito bits but it takes forever to rid them. I will try your solution next time they appear. 👍
At least 3% hydrogen peroxide, not the 2%. Has worked great for me too!
@@sandydavidshofer1204 Great-I already have that on hand! Thanks!
Yes Laura! I love all the new additions to y'all's shop 😊 kneeling mats are an excellent addition too ! I Now what i do to keep the fungus gnats away us this i add Very hot water to my soil. Turn it through let it get cool to the touch. Then i proceed to potting up as usual. No more gnats !!
Fun and knowledgeable video, thanks for all the questions people asked, it is good to learn from the Q & A. Thanks Hose link
What a great week with Garden Answer! Already got my confirmations on my "Mother's Day" gifts of kneeling pads, just got my email on the July 20 event! Can't wait! St. Charles is only a bit over an hour from us here in Southern WI. So anxious to see the pond setups too! Sorry if I sound a bit like a 'stalker fan', and don't want to wish our lives away - but come on Summer!
Always love these videos of you two. So much fun hose link!
Darling Laura, I've been gardening professionally for more than two decades and every week I learn new things from you! Last spring I heeded your advice and cut all the raspberry bushes down to about 4 inches. The bumper crop in September was well worth the wait! Last year I was a little late to do it as they were already showing signs of breaking buds, and I worried muchly, but it worked just as you said. I am growing in full sun but in a raised bed on a rooftop. The bed is no more than a foot deep, if that, and they spread rigorously and fruited abundantly. Definitely will try the Fall Gold variety in the near future! Thank You from every corner of my multifaceted heart!
(Added note, maybe add a little natural food coloring to your Fall Gold jam... beetroot powder for instance.)
Thank you Aaron! and the whole Garden Answer team, for everything you do, and for the Love and Beauty you bring!
Lol to your puzzle saga!
I started a pretty houseplant puzzle last year and it's just sitting there unfinished..
I can't wait to get my kneeling pads.
Taylor, welcome aboard!!!
That event is only an hour away from us!! I'll definitely be there with my daughter (she's 9, almost 10, and a big fan of your channel) as well, so exciting!
I agree about first sign of plant growing…I planted fescue in my yard last fall…oh my goodness…I was watering 2-3 times a day…and when that beautiful blue green hairs…hahaha…pure delight…looking for springtime and start mowing…Im beyond excited!!
After your raspberry video, I purchased a “Fall Gold” raspberry bush! So excited in getting it planted and producing fruit!
Love the blue pots
I’m sorry Benjamin is 6????? I feel like the other day I saw your announcement video about having a little baby boy. It’s crazy how time flys by. Y’all’s little ones are the sweetest/most fun!!!
Greetings from Baja Mexico zone 10b. I only have one word for you. ORDY I love how you say already. Love the show.
Zormier: The leader of any plant carries the hormone Auxin, causing it's continued long growth. Side growth carries the hormones Cytokinins. When a leader is cut off, it stops the Auxin in the leader & pushes the Cytokinins, which promotes lateral growth. If you have leggy plants & cut the leaders on each stem, you get a flush of lateral growth, resulting in a fuller plant.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Bird seed mixes like sunflower chips don’t make a mess or sprout because the seed has already been opened so there is nothing to leave behind or sprout from. It does cost more and I think it also shortens shelf life but the birds love them in my experience.
We started composting with bins then switched to doing it in a pile. When we did it in bins the kids would rake the leaves and put them in, and excess kitchen scraps the kids would run them out to the bin. We would pick up sticks they also went to the bin. One year the kid's science project was on composting. We chuckled that they were working on their science project for years with trip to the bin. This was a great teaching lesson for children watching and learning how things break down. When we switched to doing it in a pile, we just ran a garden tiller threw the pile a few times.
About seeds drops, there are round nets that you can insert underneath the bird feedee
The squirrels around here would definitely destroy them!
I was wondering about that , where do you get them ?
The squirrels never destroyed mine. I live in Canada and I got mine a long time ago in a nursery, but google it and there are all kinds of
I’m anxiously waiting for my sprayer 👏 my seedlings are up and going 😊 Also so excited for the kneeling pad !
Excited to receive one of the kneeling pads! They're all great but especially like the green topiary pattern.
You guys should do that taste test with the raspberries down at Andrew’s when yours are ripe. 😀 That works be fun to hear the results of!
I just got my Russell and Cheddar shirt from your site, and it is SO cute. I also ordered the kneeling pad, so I'm excited to get that!
Laura, I don't mind your videos with "just one" garden task in the least (like the Lavender). 😊 They're still very interesting and I think it makes it easier to reference later. Thanks for these recaps. I learn so much from them!
We are so lucky to have an industrial composter here that takes residential waste (yard waste, meet, dairy, pet waste, etc). We have a wheelie bin the size of a trash can and it gets picked up weekly or every other week. They serve the restaurants, too, and serve them daily. We get a compost share in return! (though we do still pay for the service, but it's less than $40/month)
So funny that someone else pointed out the insertion of the pronunciation of Obelisk. It was something I noticed and commented on. That sass is definitely Aaron 🤣 Spelling and pronunciation is something that I have been "in competition" with my older sister with, probably all our lives. In our 40's now. for those of us that are particularly good at it, I think we forget that it is something that some people struggle with. It's a topic that can require a careful approach, to avoid getting someone "off-side". One of our favorite shares lately is misheard lyrics videos for laughs. Love these re-cap videos, to see the banter between you two. Thank you, from Australia 😊❤
Greetings, Laura and Aaron, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA
Great video and lovely to have you visit. I have my coffee ☕️ and I'm watching 👀
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
❤Peggy❤
I love your recap videos!
As a Canadian, I cannot order seeds or plants from the US, without a special permit. So I doubt you can ship plants, etc, to the UK.
