I'm here for the Russel/Cheddar/Douglas soap opera.
😂
😹😸😹
😂
So, true. Drama at its finest. 😂😂😂😂😂 cats of our lives. 😂😂
😸🙀😹
Wow! Everything looks so beautiful! I was a teacher for 33 years. It warms my heart to see Benjamin with his pencil and tablet. I can tell he is going to make you proud with his school work. You and Aaron have provided the perfect backdrop for creativity, joy, and learning for your precious children. You have done as much for teaching good parenting as you have for teaching gardening. You should both be proud.
As a mom/grandmom, I heartily agree w you.
I'm a teacher and I agree!!
Amen to that!! ❤
Agree! Benjamin is so cute.
“Plant it high it won’t die, plant it low it won’t grow.” Don’t be embarrassed Aaron! That’s a great saying for beginners like me! Thank you both!
Hey, my husband has sayings for everything. 😅
Now I have another phrase to add to - Sleep, Creep,Leap. Ha ha.
I LOVE how you always greet your children as if you haven't seen them for days. No matter how old they get please don't stop doing it, they'll always remember how special you made them feel. We don't outgrow that need. 🤗
So true !! I've only recently realized that even as adults we need to feel that warmth from family !
I'm forever going to think "plant it high..." as I'm planting. That was a good one Aaron!😅
those rhymes stick in our heads like no other. I will definitely be adding it to my mantras.
Planting high or low actually depends on your soil type. I have heavy clay soil so in this area we plant high so the roots won’t rot due to water not draining through the soil.
Yes that is an easy one to remember! Thanks Aaron!
@@jgwood10we have clay soil as well. Planting high is absolutely essential.
Me too!😊thanks A.🌳
Benjamin does a great job! He should be a highly paid employee.
He is paid in food! Lol
@@zormier2002 also paid in room!😂
Yup, a very good inspector always ready with that check list!
✅ 😂
Nine years old he has a great start
I totally adore, Benjamin taking charge and helping like a regular partner would.
I like Aaron’s words of wisdom: “ Plant it high it won’t die, plant it low it won’t grow”. …Easy to remember. Something I didn’t know. 🥰
Agreed!!!
I wish the nursery worker that planted our trees knew this little saying. All the trees are down in little wells that are lower than the grass around them.
@@pear92 Same here - outside of my apartment they’ve planted two trees too low and so far it’s 0 for 2.
Love listening to Benjamin. He is an intelligent little boy. Very comfortable in front of a camera.
The zinnias should self seed.
😂😂 YOU have to say CHECK, C’mon Mom!! Laura you got that look from Benjamin, welcome to Motherhood! So sweet! Love that walkway, & that tree!! ❤
I am taking a lunch break right now from gardening and I must say watching you plant a tree is so much more fun than weeding my new gardenbeds😂😂😂😂
Much more fun than going out and dead heading mine. 😅
FUNNY and TRUE!!!🌸
😂😂
I am a list maker too so I really enjoyed Benjamin's list and the CHECK marks. That made me laugh out loud when he was waiting for you to say "Check, Check!" Bravo to him for also helping you plant and water your lovely gardens.
7:45 😂 Laura - the look on Benjamin’s face: Mum get with the program 😂
He’s so bright and switched on! You’ve got to love his organisational skills - which parent does he get this from?
✅ Camera
✅ Gator
✅ Auger
✅ Plants
I have a lot to learn from this young man - go, go, go… ❤
Both
Reminds me of a project manager. Maybe that is in his future.
💚Good morning Laura, Aaron and Benjamin and Samantha Grace, and all GA friends from rainy southeast Michigan. Oh, be still my Granny heart, Benjamin keeping mom on her toes with his little check marks…then “Go Go Go”! And Samantha so sweet! For sure, the tree and roses and flowers are gorgeous, but family …. Priceless. Thank you for sharing Laura and Aaron. Stay safe and well everyone 💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛
That is one refreshing video, whole family sharing, Benjamin with the check board, and Samantha enjoying the ride. The flower garden is absolutely stunning. Well done guys and 👏👍🌹
Oh boy, savor these moments with Benjamin and his checklist and doing what you do with you planting, tamping in and watering. What a darling!
Your children are adorable. I love seeing Benjamin showing interest and taking part. Go, go, go.
Thank you Laura and Aaron for sharing the kids with us because you didn't have to❤
I love this channel I get up watch a little of the news so depressing then I watch Laura with her enthusiasm and the love for her family and gardening and it totally cheer’s me up I just wish the videos were longer I never get tired of looking at the beautiful flowers
I feel the same way.
Lol, when you first seen this tree, I was hoping you would get this tree. When you didn't, I thought to my self they should get this tree. Thank you for going back and picking it up. Yes!!!. Lol.
Same here..I was so excited to see this tree this morning..plus Aaron always looks so happy whenever they get trees...so fun.
Check, check, check, go go go. Good job Benjamin
Great morning to start with coffee and watching Garden Answer!
Lil Benjamin Project Managing makes me smile :).
What beautiful memories you're sharing with your son, ...too cute. I love Zinnias.
You are going to love this tree. I have one in my backyard and it is glorious at every season. 🍁 it’s a true stunner!!
Curious if you’re plane tree holds onto some leaves all winter? And does it lose chunks of bark in the summer? and does it have seed pods? It drops in the fall? My tree does and I’m wondering if it is a plane tree or not. The leaves do look like the tree Laura planted today.
My next door neighbor has one. I don’t think hers holds on to the leaves. They’re all over my lawn in the fall. It has capsules or nuts, not seed pods, and the bark is multi coloured and is always shedding bits and pieces. That’s the nature of the tree.
@@emeraldtownpaula7570 mine does have seed pods that drop. It loses its leaves in the fall. The leaves turn a golden yellow color. The leaves are massive and beautiful. I mulch them and put in my compost.
@@debbielebovic6573 sounds like we have the same tree. Mine is also actually my neighbors, but it is so large it shades my little house! I love it it’s glorious, and I tolerate all the leaves in the fall because it is worth it in the summer!😁 my grand children, used to make little boats and things with the bark that falls from the tree. I was told this particular tree sheds its bark when it is growing.
Laura - plant tag idea. Check out Jenny's video (Gardening with Creekside) of her mother's garden. She cuts copper tubing for the height she wants, then bends the end into a loop and hangs a hand-cut copper plate with the handwritten plant name. Really beautiful!
Ooooo…. Thanks, I’m going to look into it!
Both Clarkia and Lewisia are Oregon Trail historical plants so there's a future hustory lesson for Benjamin😊
Plane trees when in seed are highly asthma causing- the seeds have a hook shape which catch in throat and nasal passages - France australia England et al replacing them as traditionally planted as street scape trees for shade etc however now considered a public health hazard
Coffee ✔ Benjamin✔Zenneas✔Clarkia (new to me!)✔Happy Morning✔✔✔
Love Benjamin making you say ✔️
Holy moly. You accomplish so much in a day. How lovely to watch Benjamin grow into a gardening expert. Love his check list approach.
Thx Aaron! You've saved a lot of future-trees!! "Plant it high, it won't die; plant it low, it won't grow!" Love it!!
It JUST dawned on me: You guys have to set up for driving to + from shots, all angles shots, etc. Lotta work!!
Those children are so very precious. ❤
I was thinking that Aaron hasn't had a tree to plant for a while good to see his happy tree planting face.
@lauragardenanswer Won what?
Wowza the cut flower garden is stunning!!! So many wonderful colors❤ I wanted to suggest when you bring to nursing homes or better yet asst livings, bring in bouquets of like flowers and let them make their own bouquets! They would love that!!!! So many beautiful choices!!! Wow! Going out to finish planting my zinnias!!! Thanks Laura & Benjamin❤
Plane trees are street trees in London. Whole avenues of them here & there. Beautiful trees.
Your little gardener is so adorable! He is such a great helper.
I'm not familiar with plane trees, so I Googled it and realized it's another name for sycamore. We have lots of sycamore trees in Indiana! It's even the mascot for Indiana State University!
Ditto. We call them sycamores in Ohio & they're everywhere.
Very similiar to American sycamore tree but London Plane is a different tree species
Oh my goodness. You're smart, beautiful, and brave. I could not be anywhere near a black widow spider without totally freaking out. Bless you.
They do need to put spider poison in those boxes. It wouldn't hurt the other pollinators in the garden.
Love watching impromptu tour. Who can resist when you walk by such beauty! Your fortunate to have 3 seasons of Zinnias!
Please have a go and try to make traditional corn (wheat) dollies with your wheat, they can be as easy or as hard as you want, do a google ❤
I think my favorite videos are the ones that include the whole family. Always love seeing Benjamin and Samantha Grace helping out. The flowers are stunning!
Peppermint and clove oils help keep spiders away! I’m usually all for letting nature do its own thing, but now that I have two kids and three pups, who are extremely curious and sometimes not cautious enough, I use pet and kid friendly deterrents against things like wasps and spiders.
Good Morning! 🌳Benjamin is all business! The zinnias are going to be gorgeous! I love how Benjamin pitches in to help! Everything looks so pretty, I love when you walk through & show all growth & color! Makes me smile & puts me on a positive state of mind! 😃🥰🌻🌺🌼🪻💚🌿🌳
Omgosh, what a fun video!✅
Benjamin is adorable, ✅
The cut flower garden, gorgeous!! ✅
I had so many questions about ‘what plant was that next to this..’. Cannot remember any of them now! lol.
Laura, your videos this season seem so light and happy and it’s so nice to see you really enjoying your space without so much infrastructure stress involved. I’m so happy for you guys! 😊♥️
❤ mini what's blooming tours!
GOOD MORNING 🌞 I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A BLESSED DAY 🙏🏼❤️
All the areas of your gardens look wonderful! The deer who chow down on my plants every night would be delighted to help you cut and prune your plants.
You might consider spraying your water boxes with some insect spray as per the applicating states to prevent the black widows from making homes in them. It would be worth the prevention instead of a trip to the hospital. We live out in the country and started spraying our mailbox to control the spiders. I got tired of spiders running out at me when I took the mail out of the box. Very nice mix-up in this video.
I love that everyday can be take your kids to work day for Laura and Aaron. Great way to raise your children and to be sure they are growing up how you want them to.
Good morning Laura and Aaron! First, may I say, Benjamin, as foreman checking off his list, was soooo cute. "Mama, you say check." I have done this with my grandchildren, and those memories are precious in my heart. Also the view of the meadow around the cut flower shed was so pretty. Your garden is 🔥. Oh My! Hugs from N.C.♥️
my kids are still asleep! enjoying you and a coffee 😊
Love love love seeing you both with the kids❤ Enjoy it❤. Have u tried putting dryer sheets in the water access boxes to discourage the spiders? We put in our garage door code box to keep them out.
Thanks for the tip!
Banjamin catch phrase. "Go, Go, GO!" LOVE IT
Arron gets excited about his trees. 😂
Laura, are you aware that Handel's Largo (Ombra mai fu) was inspired by the London plane tree? I imagine you played a version when you studied piano. Beautiful aria for a beautiful tree.
The cut flower garden is BEAUTIFUL!! I would have fresh flowers all in my house. I love the sweet peas!! I'm glad that Benjamin checked off the plants you were planting. He sure is a great helper.😊
I thinking a cute scarecrow in the wheat field just because
Laura, would you considered doing an updated barn tour if you’ve got a day that’s too hot to plant anything outside sometime soon? Or a barn tour + succulent arrangement in the studio? I’ve always loved your succulent container project videos. ❤
It is so nice to see Benjamin is such a good helper!😊 Beautiful!😊
Morning Everyone 🍃🌸🍃
That Plane Tree will be beautiful when it grows up. I have one I planted 32 years ago. It's the only shade I have in my backyard (zone 7 hot and humid). When I first planted it I thought there was something wrong with it because the bark was peeling off ( before I knew anything about gardening and trees). It sheds in July, kinda messy, but the tree has such a smooth surface. In my area it's the first tree to loose it's leaves. I love my Plane Tree!
Aaron - that is the BEST saying I think I have ever heard! I won't forget this one ever. THANKS!
The area is going to be so pretty when the zinnias bloom
Yeeesss!
Beautiful tree. Time for a mid-season drone video? Nice poetic tip from Aaron.
I just want to thank you for taking those few extra minutes to update and show things as they are making progress even when that wasn’t on the list. I know what is like just needing to get a task done to move on. I have been a viewer for several seasons. I love to see how things have gone from an idea, to planning, install, and enjoyment. Your channel has made gardening so approachable. You guys are doing great work.
That bpy is a good gardener already! Who doesn't love playing in the dirt?.
New Sub here! I've watched several of your videos since last week. Girl, you work your tail off. Such an inspiration ❤
Welcome to the happiest place on TH-cam! 🥰
Welcome! We have a lot of fun here.
Oh Lord, black widows 🕷️…..no thank you! What a relaxing morning in the garden! I always love watering in the mornings, so peaceful! Your fresh cut flowers are looking so pretty!
Yup,they get massive and they have beautiful bark in the winter similar to birch. We have two in our front yard. 😊
I absolutely applaud your passion for growing beautiful plants that make pollinators, especially bumble bees, so happy. Have you ever considered having bee hives and producing your own honey? ☀️🌼🐝💛🐝🌼☀️
She’s done that. I can’t remember the reason it didn’t work out.
@laraemitchell9064 The bee's swarmed. Seems like it was a couple of times.
Laura, I've watched your videos throughout the years, just as long as I've been cultivating lilies. It brings me immense joy to see you embark on your own lily-growing journey. I can't help but feel envious that you don't have to deal with lily beetles, though!
I worry about the cats being in contact with the lilies. I have never looked at lilies the same way since I had a cat that died from lily poisoning.
@@laraemitchell9064 I am very sorry to hear that, it must be a painful memory.
I had not heard of a plane tree. It looked like a sycamore. So I looked it up. Yep. Similar to Sycamore
You & your team work incredibly hard but man what a dream world! That cut flower area is ❤❤❤.
Your garden is amazing. Would love to see more of your sketches and the reason you chose to not use them or how you changed from the plan you had.
Yayyy Benjamin!!! I can't wait to see videos of him and Samantha doing the majority of planting themselves. ❤
Hi
Benjamin is looking so business like. Bless him🎉💕
@gardenanswers Thank you Aaron! Omg I have tears over the scene with the kiddos rolling up and explaining what took me years to learn, in seconds. You’re a beautiful family,you’re a beautiful teacher and thank you for the years of life long lessons!!!!❤❤❤
Laura your flower garden is beautiful such a sweet variety of beauty, thank you very much. I so wish I could see and smell all of them in person. Glorious, great gift to us to view 🌻🌻🌷🌷🌳🌳
Laura, I have now been using BioTone for a couple of years after watching your videos. It truly is a game changer. Probably one of the best best products I have ever purchased. It has been a game changer in starting plants and seeds.
I cant get enough of these beautiful plants and all of your videos! Your life is just so picture perfect and you have a stunning family! I wish you guys all of the happiness in the world!
A gracious “Good Morning!” . . . from western North Carolina !
I'm more on the permaculture end of things now days. But I tune in just for the positivity. Bless you guys!
Your cut flower garden is gorgeous and the foxgloves next to the wheat was a beautiful site to soak in this morning! You bought the tall tree!!! I have a full grown tree just like that in my front yard and the leaves are the size of dinner plates! I can't wait to see your tree grow. God Bless you and your sweet family.
Aaron’s big tree dream coming true!! Yay!
Beautiful as always. Plant em high Aaron. Benjamin is becoming a little gardener like his parents. Go, go, go!!
He is such a good helper. What a fun day. Love the new tree.
You have a wonderful assistant! "Camera, check, Gator, check, Auger, check, Go Go Go!" So precious! Love this video! Thank you, Laura and Aaron!
Good morning gardeners 😊
How would you like to be the neighbours with that borrowed view? 😊
Won't be long before Benjamin will be driving the gator himself. Go, go. Go
My “little man” is 19 already and looking for a full time welding job. Benjamin reminds me of my Matthew at that age.
Good morning. Rainy day in Ohio!!
Isn't it about time for some beautiful floral arranging? Things are looking gorgeous .
Laura made a comment a while back that floral arranging is something she enjoys more when done privately. It's kind of her down-time project. Not that she won't do one publically, but she forewarned ahead of time that it would be a rare appearance.
Laura frequently puts her floral arrangements on Facebook. There was a magnificent mauve one yesterday.
I love when you show the bumble bees on the flora. ❤
Who knew Aaron was such a philosopher. "Plant it high and it won't die. Plant it low and it won't grow! Good one Aaron. I'll always remember that advice. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
I just love our London Plane trees. We have a lawn with four of them and they grew so fast and just look so beautiful. We planted them at the same size you have and ten years later they are 40+ feet. They do seem to thrive on a lot of water.
With leaves that broad you’d think water is what they need to keeping it growing. If the leaves get stunted for the next growing season that would be the indicator that more water is necessary.
My rose of Sharon is covered in bumble bees. I love it.
Loved Benjamin "taking charge"......but then helping you plant also. He is so kind😊
Good on you for leaving the delphinium for the pollinators. Like you, I have a soft spot for pollinators and it’s so important that we plant for them. Your kids are adorable
Fabulous! Is anybody else noticing the amount of redish colored flowers creeping into the garden as the years go by? 😂❤ I remember way back when she cringed at the thought of red. We grow with our gardens.
I live in KY, zone 6, and sycamores are very common around here, they grow along river banks all over the countryside. They're beautiful and they grow fast! They do require a lot of water but 100% worth it.
Love Benjamin with his checklist!!! 😂😂. He is priceless! CHECK!! ✅
