when I worked the 3 to 11 shift, I planted mostly white/silver blooms and foliage in the bed along the driveway so I could get a little garden enjoyment when I got off work in the dark.
Laura, not only do I totally adore you and get so much pleasure from your videos, I also enjoy reading the comments. I agree with just about all of them and your viewers ask very good questions. The whole package makes for a feel good morning. Thank you for starting off my days with positivity, beauty, and wonder. Plus seeing Benjamin and the cats are always a bonus!
I am loving how carefree you’re planting the moon garden apart from the bloom times! This is one of my favorite channels! When I’m up at night with my 2 month old baby girl, your voice and the music sooth her back to sleep while I get to enjoy your content! Thank for keeping up the videos during these times and please keep yourself and your wonderful family healthy and safe!
Your channel is like an oasis, especially in these times. It is always a calming, uplifting, place to go to learn new gardening things. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
I'd love to see you guys put a pond in at your new property/field! Love to see some water plants or plants that like to be around the waters edge. The Mallards from your rainy garden tour kinda inspired me to to invision that as you might get a few more "friends" to drop by on occasion!🦆🐢 But it is your yard & I know you'll do amazing things with it!😄😉🏞👩🏻🌾🌺🌹🌻🌼🌷🌸🌲🌳🦋 Btw...I just love sweet Russell & his extra toes!😻😽
White Yarrow is a wonderful native plant to add to any garden! It attracts beneficial insects like crazy. Do not fertilize because the flowers will get way too tall and flop, she didn't really explain that. I had to learn that the hard way. It does need lots of room to spread, but is fun to share starts with gardening friends. The plant is also edible and is great in tea mixes with chamomile and mint!
The wild firefly bloom in my garden all Sommer as a weed. They are lovely. I always let my grass get quite high in some parts, it looks lovely, & great for bees, insects and Birds. I love that, with the white blooms :)
It is so nice to have coffee with Laura and beautiful weather to start my day. Russell is so sweet and it's so nice to see how loving he is with you. Oh my gosh I love the plants you are choosing for the moon garden and can't wait to see what else you add. Love those little daffodils and the tulips in the front container everything is starting to look so pretty!
I really just want to take a second to thank you again for the incredible videos you guys do. You have taught me almost everything i know when it comes to gardening. THANKYOU SO MUCH!
I have become a big fan of white flowers ! There is something magical about bright white flowers. I love the different textures you're using. Here in NC I have very little "flat" areas to plant and I am usually dealing with huge pine or oak trees. Thank u for sharing your gardening adventures with us!
I am so thankful for your early morning inspiration! It's a better pick me up than a cup of coffee! My farm is loaded with Queen Anne's Lace and Slender Mountain Mint. The Mint is always *swarming* with pollinators! I need to go dig them up and transplant them into some of my flower beds! I haven't yet because chiggers love Queen Anne's Lace. But it would be so pretty to have the lace in the back and the mint up front!
Hey Laura !!!! Have you heard of the moon flower? It blooms a gorgeous white flower but only at night! It is in the morning glory family and it is a vine but I grow it as an annual....I thought it would be perfect for your moon 🌙 garden 🌺🌾🌷💕🌱😊 thank you for all the helpful planting tips..... you have inspired me so much in my gardens.....
Love those Anemone flowers. So sweet and whimsical. I have some yarrow that I planted over 20 years ago and they are still pretty. Not as thick as they were but pretty. They love to be planted in your worst soil. This garden is going to be so pretty.
Hi Laura, I am really glad I found your channel some months ago. During this time, you are a wonderful reminder that the good things in life are at home. I certainly come to your channel feel inspired and motivated to look outside and enjoy all the natural beauty that this world has to offer. Thanks for all the hard work (that includes Russell, the Quality Inspector 🐕)
I am so totally excited to see what Laura is going to do with the new bit of land, I so can't wait, I see it's been plowed and looking almost ready for planting action WOOP 😁👍😁
Love the way things are coming together! Can’t wait to see the projects take shape on the new property! Thank you for sharing! ♥️🙌🌿🌷 PS...those estate planters are already stunning!!🌟
Also want to add, that its so refreshing to see you going about your day, seemingly unaffected by the virus. I meant that sincerely. We are so surrounded by it I hate to even mention it here,but I also try to do things as "normally" as possible. Its great for your sanity! Take a break! I realize I can't change a thing by worrying, so I pretend that nothing is wrong.
Are you going to plant any white peonies in the moon garden? It's looking beautiful, Laura. Looking forward to seeing the beds mature and evolve over time!
I'm super excited about your moon garden. I love yarrow. It can be pretty invasive here in NJ, but I'd love to try some of a new variety and see if I have better control. That anemone is absolutely ADORABLE! GAH!
I looked up the zone for the white splendour anemone...it's 4-8. Also says it's a deer and rabbit resistant perennial, good in containers, and good for cut flowers. 🌼
those are lovely!! that anemone is just the sweetest!!! love yarrow, i added it to my list for an area that needs a touch of 'something', lol... such weird times.. we can't even get outside because we're so wet and muddy.. and i know others still buried under snow, so you make us so happy (and envious) of your gorgeous weather, lol... so happy you are continuing your videos for us all!!
Hey Laura! Thanks for all your videos especially during this time! Can you touch a little bit on the evergreens you have in the moon garden. I have tried to go back and look for the first video when you panted the Red Tipped Norway and cant find it! Cant wait to see your space grow!
I am a complete newbie with gardens but have a new house in the UK countryside that I am learning so much from you about. Could you please show the occasional arrangement you do with things from your garden? ❤️
What in the world? I don’t remember planting those 🤔lol I love your comment when you noticed the surprise daffodil. It’s so wonderful when a person sees a pretty surprise plant 😀🙏🌱💚
It looked like a glorious day for planting! I love seeing and hearing your thought process with how you put various plants together while considering foliage, bloom time, size and how you plant and space them. Are you planning on filling your moon garden this year, or will you divide some of the plants you put in now in a year or so? It is a large area to fill! btw Achillea's are toughies! I had one that looked like it was dying, I cut it right back and it grew and bloomed within months!
Beautiful Laura, the moon garden is looking great! Thanks for showing us what you do with the extra soil and containers. I take my containers back to Lowe’s.
So funny to see Laura excited about this yarrow that is literally one of the most common weeds in my garden, would never thought of planting them to my flower beds, but now I am.
I have yarrow in my yard that came from my great grandmother's yard. It's an old herbal remedy plant, too. Right now, I can't remember for what. Ha ha. I love your moon garden.
@@GrowingHomeGardening I have never tried it so I don't know. I have tried other herbal teas and I grow my own oregano, sage, rosemary and thyme. I have made hair rinse and oregano oil for my family
Everything's so pretty...just like you are so pretty...👍 Love the background music of this video, very uplifting.. Can't wait to see your "moon garden all done and in full bloom. Please do update us with videos. Tqtq so much again for sharing....your videos much needed food for my soul now...❤💖💝
You are such a tease! LOL! When you went to dump the cans of dirt, I noticed all of the plowed rows in the new space and wondered it you'd mention it or hold us in suspense. Looking forward to what you'll be doing with it.
Hmm do I suspect that fairies have been in your garden especially that pot with magical baby daffodils appearing 👀😍😇🧚🧚♂️ Loving the moon garden and thanks foot showing quick glimpse if the pot, colors and blooms look amazing together
I am so excited to see the moon garden start to take shape! I can't wait to see the white sunflowers. Have you thought about placing a trellis with white wisteria? Maybe pair it with a later bloomer like sweet autumn clematis or white honeysuckle.
The sand in the back looks like finely crushed granite. We just used some under a shed we're having installed. Loving the moon garden, my grandson and I have been working on our own little moon garden and it's looking quite nice.
I admit I’m jealous. Too early to plant in Mi, everything’s closed and broke my wrist this week anyway. Last season was lost on another health issue. GAH! 😖 But your space is gorgeous and I love seeing your passion come alive! Good karma! Keep spreading the gardening joy!
I'm in Michigan too and it's killing me not being able to go garden shopping! What a terrible time to break your wrist... I hope you heal up quick! Drink your milk and eat green leafies for calcium!
Glad you said what you do with your left over soil because I was going to ask you that questions later. The Yarrow is pretty in white, I have Pink on my east side and it blooms from Spring to fall. Watch out for the seedlings I have more now them I started out with. Stay safe and garden on
I'm glad she answered it too. She really needs a FAQ page because even though she just answered it, people are still going to keep asking. It would be handy to drop a link reply.
In Denmark yarrow grows in the wild and its actually more of a weed than a flowerbed plant soo yha but if just a seed flies in to your garden here in Denmark its just a matter of few years and then it's every were in your lawn I mean I think that 30 % of my lawn is this flower but I often use it in boqes and cut flowers arrangements 😉🇩🇰🌹😊
Wild yarrow (Achillea millefolium L., common yarrow) has several medicinal uses. It can be used for fever, common cold, hay fever, absence of menstruation, dysentery, diarrhea, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal (GI) tract discomfort, and to induce sweating. Some people chew the fresh leaves to relieve toothache. Yarrow is applied to the skin to stop bleeding from hemorrhoids; for wounds; and as a sitz bath for painful, lower pelvic, cramp-like conditions in women. In combination with other herbs, yarrow is used for bloating, intestinal gas (flatulence), mild gastrointestinal (GI) cramping, and other GI complaints. In foods, the young leaves and flowers of yarrow are used in salads. It grows wild over nearly all of the continental USA.
Big difference is that breeders are focusing on sterile cultivars when creating new plants to sell. The benefit of a sterile plant is that you don't get hundreds of new babies, plus the blooms and the bract coloring lasts much longer and dry really nicely. Achillea millefolium and its early cultivars are garden thugs so it's important to research which cultivars get added to the garden. As far as I can tell though, Firefly series isn't sterile and will need to be deadheaded to avoid this problem. I found the Seduction series to be a phenomenal Achillea so far, and it claims to be sterile.
Cheers from Finland, we got the same problem :D So it's funny how somebody plants them. @Nunya Bizness I was about to add that info too, but was obviously too late. I'll just add: you can use the plant for yarn dyeing too.
I’m so glad you are documenting everything in the moon garden. 👏🏻 The yarrow is so pretty, love the foliage. I haven’t had it since we lived in the northeast and had a “rock garden” full of plants that didn’t need much attention. I’m thinking I might try it here in Oklahoma. 👏🏻 I’m really enjoying seeing all your choices!
I have white yarrow and it is an aggressive spreader. I have a much older variety and no doubt yours is more hybridized. Good luck with it. It is a beautiful texture addition.
I work in a garden centre & we put all our used empty pots in a basket for customers to take for free. They always go which is fantastic they all get reused ✅
This area will be even more beautiful as it gets planted up! Have you thought about some Limelight, Bobo, or Little Lime hedges in front of the North Poles to add another solid layer of beautiful plantings? Could be stunning!
I’m so thankful for Garden Answer. Thank you for the knowledge and inspiration! A bit off topic but I’m curious to know what your thoughts are on adding used coffee grounds to the garden.
Your videos are always so inspiring to me♥️ I'm really excited to see what you guys are planning to do with the new property. I thought maybe you'd want some farm animals....couple of horses and cows? Have you thought of planting Jasmines and Gardenia plants in the moon garden?:)
Winter Jasmine is a great idea. There are varieties in white and it would be a winter-interest plant. Edit: i take it back. The three varieties i found are zones 6, 7 & 8, so not hardy in her area (the zone 6 one might survive).
when I worked the 3 to 11 shift, I planted mostly white/silver blooms and foliage in the bed along the driveway so I could get a little garden enjoyment when I got off work in the dark.
Impressive forethought.

Hi Laura and Aaron! I just wanted to say Thank you for all your wonderful videos, especially during these trying times. Thank you so much! 🌱😊
Loving all the daily videos. Thank you🌹🌺🌻🌼🌲🌳
I loved seeing the "extra bits", like explaining about the cans and the dirt.
Me too, It's kind of like behind the scenes 😁
I would LOVE for this to be a series! Something about the fact that it’s a MOON Garden is just spectacular to me
Your channel is like an oasis, especially in these times. It is always a calming, uplifting, place to go to learn new gardening things. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
My one and a half year old is LOVING the background music today, he’s dancing up a storm to it!

That’s one thing I love so much about gardening. The little surprises like your “fairy daffodils”.
Thank you Laura and Aaron so much for the daily videos. They really make my morning 😊

Planter at end of drive is so CUTE 😄🌹🦋🌻🌺
So eagerly waiting for the tulip tour of 2020! ❤
Cheers Laura and the Garden Answer Family ☕️☕️☕️☕️
The moon garden is starting to take shape. I love those big planters and the brick pathway adds the finishing touch.

So far that is my favorite plant combo in the Moon Garden! Yarrow foliage is a winner, even if it didn't have blooms. Love it!

Such a nice fairytale garden you have...enjoy..stay safe..love from INDIA💜💕
Love how your Moon Garden is coming together, that anemone is gorgeous.
Are you going to plant any white peonies in the moon garden? It's looking beautiful, Laura. Looking forward to seeing the beds mature and evolve over time!

Love watching you plant and can’t wait for it all to grow. It’s gonna be spectacular.
I'm excited to see what you'll be planting in the new area too! I hope you have a Happy Easter!!!
I am a complete newbie with gardens but have a new house in the UK countryside that I am learning so much from you about. Could you please show the occasional arrangement you do with things from your garden? ❤️
Their TH-cam channel Garden Answer Highlights has lots of her arrangements on it. Check it out.
I did a little happy squeal at the newly ploughed bit. Can’t wait to see what you have planned!
LOVE the moon garden so far! oh my gosh!!!
Love the seeing the evolution of the new garden areas, thanks for taking us along. 💕🌸🌿🌱🌷
Looking gorgeous. I so love the daisies

I have yarrow in my yard that came from my great grandmother's yard. It's an old herbal remedy plant, too. Right now, I can't remember for what. Ha ha. I love your moon garden.
That's so cool ♥️
You can drink it as a tea and it's good for upset stomach. The internet claims that it can cure everything though ☺️
A yarrow infusion is good for parasites. It doesn't taste good though. My mom used to add tons of sugar to it to get us to drink it.
Is it bitter?
@@GrowingHomeGardening I have never tried it so I don't know. I have tried other herbal teas and I grow my own oregano, sage, rosemary and thyme. I have made hair rinse and oregano oil for my family

So pretty I'm loving the way the 🌙 garden is taking shape. It looks great and looks like Mr kitty is loving it as well.
It’s been years since I have had yarrow. I may try it again😊❤️😊
Wow! I am enjoying the amount of videos you're putting out..making my quarantine days❤️
I am so excited to see the moon garden start to take shape! I can't wait to see the white sunflowers. Have you thought about placing a trellis with white wisteria? Maybe pair it with a later bloomer like sweet autumn clematis or white honeysuckle.
Some of my daffodil bags had some surprises, too. But that’s okay because I end up with more varieties that way! 🌸🌸🌸
I love the containers.
Laura and Aaron. I would like to make a request that you drive by the church and film how things are looking that you planted for Spring.
Eh...she should probably wait until the tulips bloom.
I was just going to ask her the same thing....I’d like to see how things are growing there too!
WOOHOO!!! Nothing wrong with quick. I love yarrow!!
The sand in the back looks like finely crushed granite. We just used some under a shed we're having installed. Loving the moon garden, my grandson and I have been working on our own little moon garden and it's looking quite nice.
I admit I’m jealous. Too early to plant in Mi, everything’s closed and broke my wrist this week anyway. Last season was lost on another health issue. GAH! 😖 But your space is gorgeous and I love seeing your passion come alive! Good karma! Keep spreading the gardening joy!

Darn it, Kathryn! Hope is heals perfectly & quickly so that you can enjoy gardening this year with the rest of us. Take care!

Loving the moon garden! Looking forward to seeing it develop.😊
Can't wait to see how this moon garden turns out. I love white flowers. Our garden centers are shut down until at least May 1. Can't even buy mulch.

Okay, that "White Splendour" anemone is SO CUTE, it might even have bumped out daisies from their top spot as my favorite flower.
Beautiful white flowers!
A grouping of 3 incrediball hydrangeas between each of the urns for your base shrubs!

It's going to be lovely iv got those anemones the white and blue the white ones definitely pop in the light luv them x😊
That "sand" looks like decomposed granite, DG. It's used when laying paths in gardens. I've seen it on HGTV.
yes, we have paths through our garden and use it there.. easy to maintain and i like the look...
