Waiting for the Dream Stream build is like waiting for Santa Claus when I was a child, the anticipation grows with each day!! It’s so fun to think about what it’s going to look like. I’m counting down the days!
Laura.. I LOVE FUN WHIMSICAL things like this in the garden!! Perfect place for this!! ❤ NOW, please use that GORGEOUS LARGE GATE you have that Aaron hates (sorry Aaron) you have the space and that would make such an impact and time to play with creativity. Those ponds y’all visited in Chicago.. that lady had huge fun things in her garden and you loved that and you have this GORGEOUS piece.. oh please use it somewhere.. ❤
@@diannehiggs oh I was too, it was beautiful in their yard. . I’ve seen gorgeous homes with large beautiful landscapes have it …and my goodness it is a show stopper..these were on RUclips.
@@judyingram-kh1vm I agree, I think it would be absolutely gorgeous. They have such large places to use it.. We just need them to see the vision of what this beautiful piece could do to a space if done correctly.
Laura, those roses are beautiful. Roses in straight lines is the problem. Creating a beautiful rose garden with meandering paths, water, companion plants, evergreens. Maybe someday you could do that for Aaron. I love your amazing ideas!
Stepover apple and pear training is very popular in Europe as a way of creating a border along paths or even at the edge of potager beds and less formal vegetable gardens. I love them so much and we can buy the rootstock already grafted onto dwarf varieties. This apple arbor is such a great idea for this part of your garden.
Hello! I'm new to the early access. I'm so used to watching first thing in the morning. I've just decided I'll watch now and again in the morning with my coffee! 😀
Good morning, ladies. I started watching when I was contemplating if I should do yard work,lol. 7 yrs later, this channel is part of my morning routine and has made a big impact on how I feel about gardening.
Laura… have you ever considered a gourd arch around/near the kids play area? I think the kids (and adults) would be fascinated by the different styles (apple, bird house, bottle, dipper, etc) and they would be awesome to dry for crafting / decorating projects. Look up the idea online - so many neat examples!
I grew the bottle gourds I think was the name of it over a cattle panel and it was so lush and magical looking walking underneath it and seeing all the gourds hanging down! Also it makes it much easier to cut them off. I think that the kids would absolutely love it And afterwards they can paint them and hang them around the property. ( you make birdhouses out of them) You only need to plant a couple seeds and help train the branches up over to start and then they pretty much do the rest on their own! Just let them dry completely until you can hear the seeds inside when you shake them. I hope Laura see’s this comment and plant’s some! Please heart ❤️ it if you see this comment! Thank you Laura! 🫶
@@Pushpakant we thought you unsubscribed!! Oh you came back! Thanks for commenting on and watching Garden answer, our favorite RUclips gardening channel. It helps their channel tremendously, even when you have negative comments. Have the day you deserve!
I sure hope you take those big, arching roses and let them grow in the dirt lands. They are stunning, big-impact plants and well worth keeping in my opinion.
All I can say is, you are by far by favorite RUclipsr for gardening. I could watch your videos all day, very informative, very relaxing. It's like a visit with an old friend.
You have so much space, have you ever thought about doing a longer arbor/pergola planted tunnel? I always find those so magical when I go to garden! Obviously doing it with apples wouldn't be ideal, so maybe climbing roses or something else. Love the video as always!
Oh a big yes to the roses as climbers in the dirt lands…..just let em bloom bloom bloom and form those gorgeous rose hips for fall flower arrangements🎉
Christianson’s is in Mount Vernon, WA! I go there often ☺️ I pass it every Sunday on the way to church and often stop at their farmer’s market on the way home. It’s such a treat to have such an amazing nursery near me. They have so many amazing events, they stock amazing plants all year, and they have a lovely little antiques shop as well.
You know, this makes me think a community post would be cool where everyone could share their favorite garden shop or garden-related spot to visit, maybe start every comment with the state name so it’d be easy to scan. I’ve got two amazing places I visit for fun even if I don’t need any plants at the moment! 😂 I’ve yet to find a dependable, updated list anywhere online, so I end up spending SO much time searching before visiting a new area. Hmmm… anyone here want to start a website?? 😉
You and your mom were saying David Austin would bring back Evelyn, It's in their online ship for spring 2025 shipping! I already pre-ordered! So excited I have a namesake for my darling year-old finally!
Rose flowers are very striking and each plant needs to stand out on its own. I knew your layout wouldn’t last because it doesn’t lend to allowing each plant to glow. My mom was a house manager for a mansion in Beverly Hills that took up a whole block. It had the most beautiful formal rose garden. Full of lightly raised beds with stone walkways that curved all around the beds. 90% of the plants were roses and the rest filled in when the roses weren’t in bloom.
The apple arch will look amazing! Can’t wait to see it grow. But “shopping” in your own yard is priceless! The beauty these will add throughout your property will be transformative to every space! Exciting times!!
The apple arbor is absolutely gorgeous! Why not use one of your saved rosebushes for the dream stream area, letting it grow kind of wildly? It may give the look of wild Mountain roses.💚
You have no idea how much your videos and your sweet family mean to so many! You walk out your purpose with such joy and grace. You and Aaron are amazing examples in many ways! ❤ Yet again, another exciting project! I can't wait to see this Apple Arch in it's prime!! Question: Do you have other suggestions for plants that would be ideal for an arbor? Would love something that has a long bloom time! I know you've done videos showcasing your viewer's gardens and such in the past... maybe an arbor submission video would be fun and provide lots of inspiration?! ☺
Hello Laura! I just met your Mama at her Nursery! She’s the cutest lady! She’d fit right in my pocket:) I love your page !! There is something fun about seeing it in person!! Keep up the great work!❤❤
@@laraemitchell9064 Give them a Google, it’s well worth it. 😊 I always recommend that gardeners broaden their horizons and look at gardens all over the world. Monty Don has a series (multiple, I think) about gardens in other countries. You can probably find them on RUclips.
Hello everyone! Be safe if you are the hurricane's path🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 or any other storms! Laura the apple arbor is beautiful, I can't wait to see the outcome but I see it in my mind 😍 The roses you are keeping are gorgeous and the one for Bethany, you are so selfless and putting others first.... that's how we all should be! We would have a lot less problems! Thank you for being such an amazing example! ❤ God bless you all 🤗❤️🙏🏻
A great tip I learned from a gardener is to use pencil to write on your garden tags because it will weather very well. I dubiously followed the advice and it didn’t disappoint! I live in Southern Alberta and I’ve found tags from previous years in the garden where you can still read the writing in pencil!
I think letting the roses that you mentioned for the dirtlands, would look so pretty out there doing their own thing. That quicksilver one is beautiful!
Hello from Central New York! I am loving the apple arbor. I have never tried espalier, but have always enjoyed the look. Regarding the roses, (27:36) have you ever pegged your roses? I think with varieties like Mme Anisette, you may achieve some pretty spectacular results! Thank you for keeping me company with my morning coffee every day, and thank you for sharing your passions (both garden and family,) with us!🧡
Yes I agree! So many of us don't have enough garden space to peg roses, but they look so wild and wonderful tended to in this way in large gardens. Pegging of roses is underused for big bushy and small climber types.
Speaking of espaliers, what did you wind up doing with your Asian pear? Love what you do Laura. I have learned so much from you over the years that now my friends and family look to me for plant information and inspiration 🥰❤️🥰.
🍂Good morning Laura and family. Ohhh that's going to look amazing can't wait to see it all matured, and the roses garden looks great, your so kindhearted to share. Whats happening with the Dream Stream?, can't wait to see it get started. Thank you Laura for always sharing on whats going on in your Gardens. February 2025 it well be 9 years that I started watching your YT channel its been a treat learning from you and Aaron. 🍂 Thank you, have a wonderful rest of the day. 🍁 👋 🙂 🍏 🍎
You said that each quadrant of the cut flower gardens will have an entrance on each side. I would take some of those "climbing/partial climbing" roses and put them on an arbor as an entrance somewhere there. They are gorgeous. So many pretty roses. Love that apple arbor!
I loved the way you dug the apple tree holes without moving and marking the arch. Some of the tall roses might grow well on the flower barn - (the white building near the orchard). Thanks for the ideas.
The orchard at West Dean garden near Chichester UK has apples trained to all kinds of shapes including goblets, pyramids, espalier, palmette verrier and more. It’s a wonderful garden to visit.
Love the apple arbor. You are so mesmerizing to watch. The roses oh how I wish I was your friend, I would so be honored to have one of the rose bush. I'm glad Bethany will get to pick. The box wood will make it look elegant. I just love all your ideas. I will definitely watch this video over and over and make notes on your ideas Thank you so much for making our world a beautiful one ❤❤❤❤
You should ask your neighbors who have been dusted this summer by your changes if they want some roses! Do you think Bethany would ever show her yard space with all the plants she has taken from you? Would love to see how she gardens..please Behany💚
Good Morning :) My kids (7 & 5 years) and I absolutely love watching your videos and learning from you! This morning my 5 year old was in "ohh and awee" over the apple espalier, and then he says, "She has beautiful blue eyes, right Mama?" I said, "Yes son she does; that is so sweet of you".😍 You have lots of admirers over here 😂 Thank you all for your hard work and positivity. God Bless! 🙏
I LOVE the Apple arbor! Such a great compliment to the area. I agree with you in that I don’t care for large rose garden areas. I think they almost look like something that you would see at a garden center for people to choose and purchase. However, I do love 2 or 3 planted close by each other in various areas of the property with structures if that makes sense. Looking forward to seeing the new plan for this area come together.
Laura….I love your videos ! Especially the kitties . Douglas is my favorite ! I rescued over 100 kitties in my Lifetime so I’m considered a cat lady !!!
Have you considered planting a large single row of roses along one of your white fences? It would be such an elegant welcome to your home. Love the channel and watch all your content.
Hi Laura, what about a red rose for Aaron? With Just Joey for the fragrance and a Yellow one to make a three some for Aaron's corner?... For celebrating your marriage anniversary!?!
I vote the dirt lands for the large roses. They would look lovely out there to just let them do their thing! Golden Celebration is my absolute favorite David Austin. Looks beautiful and an amazing aroma.
I’d love to know how many apple arches are going up as a result of this video. I know I’m certainly inspired. Now I just need to find the perfect spot! Thanks Laura for feeding my gardening addiction 😂!
Love the new apple arch. Hope both the trees thrive. The rose garden has so many beautiful plants I don't know how you picked your keepers, but they are beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing all the changes you have planned. Can't wait for the Dream Stream, yea. Have a blessed day everyone.
You’ve got to appreciate the Laura will just change out something that is just not working for them, even if it’s entire rose garden - while most of us stress over taking out one little plant! I think we can all learn from that.
Great video as always! You could try "pegging" those larger roses if you find a spot in the landscape suitable for a large shrub. Basically you would attach each of those long branches to stakes in the ground, creating a series of arches all around the plant. The rose then sends out blooms all along the lateral areas of the arch. It makes for a great show at bloom time!
What a generous gardener you are Laura! Here is an idea, how about planting the climbers along the orchard fence? Also, can we start a waiting list to be part of the friends and family giveaways 😂💚🌹 I'm sure we all want to be members 😅
Plant comfrey at the base of your apple trees. In the winter time it can die back and feed your apple trees. You can plant them along the base of all your fruit trees.
I agree, even though rose is possibly my favorite flower, i don't really love rose gadens either. It's almost like too much of a good thing. I like roses much better dispersed among other plants. Happy for you for getting to try something new that excites you in the space!! ♡
Yes, Christiansons does still have their low apple trees around the Schoolhouse building! They are 45 minutes south of me in Mt Vernon WA. In fact I bought the same or similar arch like this one there for roses! My favorite place on earth to shop and a must visit if in the PNW corner of Washington state.
So excited that you love some of the same roses, I do. Ashley is on top of my list! FYI, some of the plants that look lanky are actually climbers, such as Quicksilver. So, they could use some support.
I love the apple arch! Did I miss any updates on the espalier pear tree? And also, are any of the roses you'll be keeping David Austin's? I remember when you planted the rose garden , you got a generous load from a rose company, but I can't remember the name. Can you recall?
No end to your creativity and willingness to do the work! An apple arbor, who knew? By next summer, should be well on its way to iconic! Love how you like to change gardens into a better concept after a trial run. Amazing!
I thought you would not love having a rose garden. I have a formal rose garden in the middle of a circular driveway and keeping those tidy and blooming means deadheading minimally once a week, plus regular iron and fertilizing. Mine also go dormant in heat of summer. To manage that many roses you have to REALLY LOVE roses. I'm in the Willamette Valley, but the last two summers have been unusually hot and my roses have really suffered! Glad to see you reimagine the cut flower garden. I change my gardens all the time! It is great to watch you change it up.
That’s so awesome!!! I’ve never seen apple trees on an arch. I’m so tempted to try something like that. I’m not sure I’m an experienced enough gardener to do that but you sure have inspired me to try. I’m wondering if fall is the best time to do that.(zone 5). I have tried so many plants you have introduced to me and they have worked beautifully! I’m retired and have got bit by the gardening bug. Love your videos. I have learned so much. Thank you!!
Can’t wait for your future ‘Coffee Table’ Books with all your Beautiful Blooms, ooh And Annual Calendars as well 😊❤ (A girl can Dream of these hopeful books ) 😅😊❤❤❤❤
I was privileged to visit Bunny Mellon’s estate in Upperville , Virginia and Parterre garden was bordered by small 2 foot high espalier apple trees and also a very long espalier apple tunnel . The most amazing garden . 3:25
The apple arch is fantastic! Can't wait to see it grow and fill out. Will you keep the limbs lined up with the edges of the arch? I have to say I love the rose garden. I can see where it would not be very showy most of the year; however, what a glorious bloom for a short time. The rose you are saving for Bethany is so pretty. We are in the middle of a monsoon it seems, rainy and dark, for a couple of weeks. The plants love it! As do the ducks. I think I'm growing webs between my toes!
Hi Laura, the roses that you’re not sure about put them in an area where they just grow naturally like the area you picked your rose hips. That would make a nice thick fragrant wall of beauty.
Well, you must’ve not visited the rose garden in Tyler, Texas! 😊 I was honestly never a rose fan, the smell is too sweet for me, but on a months-long camping road trip I made a point to visit arboretums so found this. Fell in love! Row after row or in formations, so many types, all in bloom since it was late May. Still too sweet for my nose, but what a sight to behold! I highly recommend a visit. Also the Dallas Arboretum if you’re ever in the area - the bamboo forest is magical.
Your planting and pruning of the apple arbor was very instructive and pleasant to watch. It was so hard for me to visualize the method until you showed the result. You are such an accomplished gardner. And it shows how much energy is spent in doing this specialized technique.
How nice of you to leave a rose for Bethany to take home ❤! I'm looking forward to seeing the changes to the cut flower garden. Question: I noticed that the new fountain wasn't on in this video and was wondering why? It's a fabulous addition!
It's so relieved to hear that you planted a garden and found it isn't all you thought it would be and now have to pull it all out and start again......I'm not alone 😅
That’s been the name of the game for me this season! I pulled out some mature foundation plantings and started over earlier in the spring. Now I’ve painted lines to change the shapes of my other beds. Gives me something to look forward to in my own garden!
I removed my pool last month so I have my pool garden that has to be removed! I’m at a loss so going to think and plan on it all winter then tackle it in spring with new eyes!
Waiting for the Dream Stream build is like waiting for Santa Claus when I was a child, the anticipation grows with each day!! It’s so fun to think about what it’s going to look like. I’m counting down the days!
Me too.
Me three 😂😂
I think the roses in the dirt lands growing wild and free would be beautiful. Love the new arch too.
thrips would love that.
Hi Laura, how about planting the roses that are tending to grow huge, by the red barn and let them climb up above. Wouldn't that be gorgeous?
Thats a great idea also.😊
I like that idea .
I like that idea but not sure they have water piped over there yet.
But since they will have the tunnels there, they will have water.
Oh that Arbor will be so pretty with all the flowers. Love the roses. 🎉
Laura.. I LOVE FUN WHIMSICAL things like this in the garden!! Perfect place for this!! ❤
NOW, please use that GORGEOUS LARGE GATE you have that Aaron hates (sorry Aaron) you have the space and that would make such an impact and time to play with creativity. Those ponds y’all visited in Chicago.. that lady had huge fun things in her garden and you loved that and you have this GORGEOUS piece.. oh please use it somewhere.. ❤
I'm with you about using the gorgeous gate! I was sad to see it go.
YES! That gate is LOVELY!
Yes please use the beautiful gate. That would look cottage written all over it❤

I THINK ITS TIME FOR A TOUR OF Bethany's garden. So interested to see how she has used all those plants
Bethany seems kind hearted
As compared to Laura. Laura has something called as lookism.

I would like to see that too💜

All I can say is, you are by far by favorite RUclipsr for gardening. I could watch your videos all day, very informative, very relaxing. It's like a visit with an old friend.
The technique for making a fence from a fruit tree is a called a Belgian fence…my sister’s neighbor in NY was from Europe and had done it in her yard.
You have so much space, have you ever thought about doing a longer arbor/pergola planted tunnel? I always find those so magical when I go to garden! Obviously doing it with apples wouldn't be ideal, so maybe climbing roses or something else. Love the video as always!
An arbor tunnel with roses attacks all who walk through! Look at raised- bed garden Collette rose, needs constant pruning.

Yes!!! That arch is screaming for roses. They never belonged in those otherwise barren rows in the cut flower garden.
Roses have the most beautiful names. ❤

Still don’t “get” the love affair with boxwoods! Lol. I’m sure, however, you have a plan and it will look beautiful. 👍🏼
I think she is heavily inspired by English gardens which rely a lot on boxwoods.
A HUGE fan of Boxwoods here! On my very small lot I have 5 Wintergreen, 10 Winter Gems, and two upright Dee Runks. They're Blue! Wonderful!
lol I love how you were going to save "just a few" and that meant over a dozen roses!
I can’t wait to see the cut flower garden remodel!!!!
Absolutely love the apple arch. I bet your cut- flower shed would look beautiful with a climbing rose or two.
What a great idea. Now I'm looking for a place in my garden for an apple 🍎 arch 😋. ❤❤❤
Did you stake in the apple arbor? Concerned in your winds it could blow over and break the trees.

Love the roses growing wild. They're beautiful.
Laura….I love your videos ! Especially the kitties . Douglas is my favorite ! I rescued over 100 kitties in my Lifetime so I’m considered a cat lady !!!
Always gorgeous. Love these wholesome videos. A beautiful place to come to rest and smile. Peace for the soul.
Have you considered planting a large single row of roses along one of your white fences? It would be such an elegant welcome to your home. Love the channel and watch all your content.
Whatever happened to Aaron’s loving gift to you, the espaliered pear tree?
Yes , same question.
Hi Laura, what about a red rose for Aaron? With Just Joey for the fragrance and a Yellow one to make a three some for Aaron's corner?... For celebrating your marriage anniversary!?!
Yes, I wondered about that pear also.
Yes, inquiring minds would like to know😂!
Someone on a different comment said the pear tree can be seen in the September garden tour. I haven’t looked at that again yet to confirm.
I vote the dirt lands for the large roses. They would look lovely out there to just let them do their thing! Golden Celebration is my absolute favorite David Austin. Looks beautiful and an amazing aroma.
I’d love to know how many apple arches are going up as a result of this video. I know I’m certainly inspired. Now I just need to find the perfect spot! Thanks Laura for feeding my gardening addiction 😂!
I don't love Rose Gardens either. Glad you feel free to dismantle it. Good for you!
Love the new apple arch. Hope both the trees thrive. The rose garden has so many beautiful plants I don't know how you picked your keepers, but they are beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing all the changes you have planned. Can't wait for the Dream Stream, yea. Have a blessed day everyone.
You’ve got to appreciate the Laura will just change out something that is just not working for them, even if it’s entire rose garden - while most of us stress over taking out one little plant! I think we can all learn from that.
All those beautiful roses! I didn’t know there was a Betty White Rose!! I may need to get one!!
Question: regarding the roses, do any of them create good looking hips? The rose you picked from the other day was just WOW! 🌹
Thank you for going through your favorite roses from the rose garden. I learned from that some that I want to grow!
The apple arch is just beautiful! Looking forward to your rose planting.
Oh no; all the beautiful roses. I do hope you plant lots of them in areas where they can just grow free.
Agree 🌹
Great video as always!
You could try "pegging" those larger roses if you find a spot in the landscape suitable for a large shrub. Basically you would attach each of those long branches to stakes in the ground, creating a series of arches all around the plant. The rose then sends out blooms all along the lateral areas of the arch. It makes for a great show at bloom time!
What a generous gardener you are Laura! Here is an idea, how about planting the climbers along the orchard fence? Also, can we start a waiting list to be part of the friends and family giveaways 😂💚🌹 I'm sure we all want to be members 😅
Plant comfrey at the base of your apple trees. In the winter time it can die back and feed your apple trees. You can plant them along the base of all your fruit trees.
I agree, even though rose is possibly my favorite flower, i don't really love rose gadens either. It's almost like too much of a good thing. I like roses much better dispersed among other plants. Happy for you for getting to try something new that excites you in the space!! ♡
Yes, Christiansons does still have their low apple trees around the Schoolhouse building! They are 45 minutes south of me in Mt Vernon WA. In fact I bought the same or similar arch like this one there for roses! My favorite place on earth to shop and a must visit if in the PNW corner of Washington state.
So excited that you love some of the same roses, I do. Ashley is on top of my list!
FYI, some of the plants that look lanky are actually climbers, such as Quicksilver. So, they could use some support.
I love the apple arch! Did I miss any updates on the espalier pear tree? And also, are any of the roses you'll be keeping David Austin's? I remember when you planted the rose garden , you got a generous load from a rose company, but I can't remember the name. Can you recall?
I was wondering what happened to the espalier pear tree too. Did it get planted by the orchard fence in the end?
I think they got a bunch of roses from Heirloom Roses, a company here in Oregon
Right. Ive been wondering myself about that tree.
Lol.. sparked my interest in the espaliered pear tree also.
Was on my mind also, wondering if they ever got to planting it.
Keep them all you have room for them
Love the arbor with the apple trees. I agree roses are beautiful by themselves or a couple together.
Monty Don has a step-over apple tree in his veg garden - very nice!
No end to your creativity and willingness to do the work! An apple arbor, who knew? By next summer, should be well on its way to iconic! Love how you like to change gardens into a better concept after a trial run. Amazing!
I thought you would not love having a rose garden. I have a formal rose garden in the middle of a circular driveway and keeping those tidy and blooming means deadheading minimally once a week, plus regular iron and fertilizing. Mine also go dormant in heat of summer. To manage that many roses you have to REALLY LOVE roses. I'm in the Willamette Valley, but the last two summers have been unusually hot and my roses have really suffered! Glad to see you reimagine the cut flower garden. I change my gardens all the time! It is great to watch you change it up.
You so enjoyed the rose hips from the new property so I'd say it would be a win if you moved some of them out there. 👍
That’s so awesome!!! I’ve never seen apple trees on an arch. I’m so tempted to try something like that. I’m not sure I’m an experienced enough gardener to do that but you sure have inspired me to try. I’m wondering if fall is the best time to do that.(zone 5). I have tried so many plants you have introduced to me and they have worked beautifully! I’m retired and have got bit by the gardening bug. Love your videos. I have learned so much. Thank you!!
Can’t wait for your future ‘Coffee Table’ Books with all your Beautiful Blooms, ooh And Annual Calendars as well 😊❤ (A girl can Dream of these hopeful books ) 😅😊❤❤❤❤
I was privileged to visit Bunny Mellon’s estate in Upperville , Virginia and Parterre garden was bordered by small 2 foot high espalier apple trees and also a very long espalier apple tunnel .
The most amazing garden .

The apple arch is fantastic! Can't wait to see it grow and fill out. Will you keep the limbs lined up with the edges of the arch? I have to say I love the rose garden. I can see where it would not be very showy most of the year; however, what a glorious bloom for a short time. The rose you are saving for Bethany is so pretty. We are in the middle of a monsoon it seems, rainy and dark, for a couple of weeks. The plants love it! As do the ducks. I think I'm growing webs between my toes!
Hi Laura, the roses that you’re not sure about put them in an area where they just grow naturally like the area you picked your rose hips. That would make a nice thick fragrant wall of beauty.
The roses are beautiful ❤️
Love the apple arch idea! This is something I will be incorporating into my new raised bed garden! Totally pumped!
Yay! The rose garden is being dismantled!
Always disliked this idea.
Roses look so much better with other plants in a garden.😊
Well, you must’ve not visited the rose garden in Tyler, Texas! 😊 I was honestly never a rose fan, the smell is too sweet for me, but on a months-long camping road trip I made a point to visit arboretums so found this. Fell in love! Row after row or in formations, so many types, all in bloom since it was late May. Still too sweet for my nose, but what a sight to behold! I highly recommend a visit. Also the Dallas Arboretum if you’re ever in the area - the bamboo forest is magical.
The dangling apples for some reason make me think of Alice in Wonderland!🍏🍎
Best project ever! I am teaching myself to be patient but watch with awe the progress of these apple trees!
Your planting and pruning of the apple arbor was very instructive and pleasant to watch. It was so hard for me to visualize the method until you showed the result. You are such an accomplished gardner. And it shows how much energy is spent in doing this specialized technique.
02:52, Christianson’s is in Mt Vernon, which is up closer to Canada (North Western WA). About an hour north of Seattle.
Your grass looks so de luschous. A well manicured and deep green lawn is what makes everything else just stand out. Everything looks incredible. 🧡
How nice of you to leave a rose for Bethany to take home ❤! I'm looking forward to seeing the changes to the cut flower garden. Question: I noticed that the new fountain wasn't on in this video and was wondering why? It's a fabulous addition!
It's so relieved to hear that you planted a garden and found it isn't all you thought it would be and now have to pull it all out and start again......I'm not alone 😅
That’s been the name of the game for me this season! I pulled out some mature foundation plantings and started over earlier in the spring. Now I’ve painted lines to change the shapes of my other beds. Gives me something to look forward to in my own garden!
I removed my pool last month so I have my pool garden that has to be removed! I’m at a loss so going to think and plan on it all winter then tackle it in spring with new eyes!
@@PhyllisBechtel oh, the possibilities!!! Good luck and happy planning!
