I am a beginner gardener and each video is enormously helpful, Laura and Aaron. I try to catch your new video every single morning with my tea after I have come inside from tending my own garden and landscape. At night I watch or re-watch other videos from the past that help teach me something I missed the first time I watched! Yesterday I learned that I have to water outdoor plants in containers during the Winter as well as water all the plants in your cold frame during the Winter while dormant. This seems obvious to me now, and I hope to treat my plants better during the Winter 2020 as nothing survived from 2019. Haha! Thank you for teaching me.
Venkat Maddi it’s is crazy how many flowers she has in the green house. I think she is secretly competing with her mom 🤣. Makes for a lot of work watering but if that’s what you live to do than that’s great.
Am watching from ireland, in lockdown, your videos are amazing and have given me a much appreciated change from all the baking I was watching,,and trying,,and eating😜 so containers are my new vibe, thank you 🇮🇪😊
My first thought when you mentioned where these planters were going to go was on the brick patio area. I think that spot would be perfect! I can't tell you how much I love your videos. I have been gardening for over 20 years and I am still learning from you. You are also bringing new ideas to the table, things I may never have thought of doing before. Every day I am excited to see what you are going to post. Thank you for all you doing and for sharing with us.
oh, look at those... excellent color choices and blending: they look like they were just made for each other!! pretty pots, too... it will be so much fun to watch these fill out! can't wait to see the others and your 'flower alley'!
Coleus has become my favorite plant for adding color to my containers ~ they are so easy to sprout from seed, and i can get dozens of plants that way on the cheap!
Less plants in a container. While planting this passed weekend, I told my mother, I was planting with the Aaron method. We both laugh. Do you think garden centers look at your cart and say, there goes another garden answer person??? My cart was whatever I could find that was proven winners. Have a great weekend from Baltimore.
I went to my favorite garden center but because all that is happening they weren't open for many weeks so they didn't get their usual plants. Bummer. But I did speak to the lady about Garden Answer and she knew about Laura. I told her I was a big fan! They didn't have many PW plants. But then I went to Lowes and jackpot! They even had Supertunia vista bubblegum and several other PW plants. From Charleston SC.
I was going to suggest she take her temperature. She may have a fever. Haha! I think, with a little patience, she will be very pleased with the results of fewer plants per container.
The next experiment is showing us all the value of fertilizer. Planting 2 pots with same plants...one with and one without fertilizer. BTW can’t wait to see the progress on the new property. 😀🌹
Deborah Field Hi Deborah, I am actually doing this experiment on my channel right now. Just planted three plants in their own pots, I am going to be fertilizing one with Proven Winners water soluble fertilizer, one with Miracle Gro water soluble fertilizer, and then one with just water. Should be up in a week or so after I get my data!
I did that one season used two huge containers on each side of picket fence gate, same plants, same watering schedule etc. one side incorporated Kricket Krap add in the other side not. Fertilized grew twice as large, got lots of neighborhood attention.
Every time you post a container video I immediately save it to replicate. I keep thinking they can’t get any prettier but you keep nailing it! Thank you for so much beautiful inspiration, Laura! Now I just need to invest in more pots ☺️
Those pots are really pretty like the little ones you planted they other day! I love coleus! I love seeing your greenhouse with all those cheerful looking colors! God bless!
Will you be doing another tour of your parent's garden this summer? I love to see the different areas transform and show off a variety of foliage and blooms. Thanks, love your channel.
They look beautiful!!! Cant wait to see the progress. So pretty!!! I'm excited I got my Garden Answer hoodie for Mothers Day. I love it!!! I'll wear it proudly. 💗🌱🌻💗🌱🌻
How fun coffee with Laura and experiments with plants!!!!! I love this idea and you are adding to my list of plants to try out for sure. I have this list developed so that even if I can't get the plants this year I keep looking for them and then I can even go back and watch the video that you planted them in to remind myself how they looked and grew so thank you for this!! I think this is going to be a fun experiment !!!
I would love to learn a bit more from you about the different types of fertilizers you use, their purposes and when and why you would use one and not the other or if there are some that are more widely usable. I’ve learned so much from you! Thanks for your videos!!
HI LAURA, THESE CONTAINERS AND PLANTS ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL. THAT'S THE REALLY SUMMER ! I'M HAPPY OF THE NEXT VIDEO ! MANY GREATINGS FROM GERMANY ! 🙋♀️👌👍🌼🌻🦋🌞🌞🌞
Thank you Laura I do believe you slant your flowers when planting them! Which I never thought f! Great idea, I have done this in planting some of my containers for the first time! will post in proven winners ! When grown! Thank you!
Interesting to see what these two do. Not your regular way of planting or choices of colors. This is going to be fun to see these come on. Looking forward to see how this is going to turn out.
Hi Laura and Aaron! Those turned out really pretty. Can't wait to see what you plant in the other pots and their progress later. Also, can't wait to see where you put them. Thank you for sharing!
Yes! I'm so glad you mentioned that you've struggled to have superbells and supertunias live happily together in the same container. I purchased a flower pillow from Proven Winners a few years ago and the supertunias never took off. It was still a beautiful show but I thought I did something wrong. I feel vindicated now 😁
Beautiful! Yesterday I bought a huge hanging basket of the bubble gum vista supertunias and all I keep thinking is “ Oh my goodness, I really have supertunias like Ms. Laura!!” Lol I love you and your flowers so much ❤️
Chelsea C ....yes! Our Lowe’s has a clearance section that often has proven winners products that may be a bit bedraggled but pop right out of it with a trimming and some fertilizer! Half price!
Love the pots can’t wait to see their progress. What a beautiful wreath. I just found your channel a few months ago and I have taken your lead and started filling my pots a lot fuller. They look great! See you in the next one.
Hi Laura & Aaron! Classy Videos!! The Alternanthera is A Big BEAST & will become your FAV foilage Annual!! I'm Zone 6 & it loves Full Sun....the more the better. One plant can fill a 24" container in a season. I started giggling cuz the Gumphrena/beast & Superbells & Supertunia, OH MY! lol You will enjoy seeing the fast growth on this pot! They make several Alternanthera....they have one with some Pinker tones. Blessings
I planted the Truffula in a big pot with some superbells. Now I am going to go get one and put in the ground to compare that looked so pretty. Yep, hope they still have it cause I want to do the wreath too! Beautiful!
Thank you so much for displaying the name of the plants, and a link, that is considerate. I learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Have a happy fall planting your favorite plants.
Gorgeous! Can you please do a video about your favorite perennials that bloom all summer season long that I don't need to deadhead. Oh man, those plants would make all my dreams come true!
I’m so excited for this! My deck is flower alley here. Side note Laura - after watching the cocktail container video I was at the grocery store and they had French lavender ice cream so I had to try it. I’d never had lavender. It smelled and tasted exactly like the lavender in the garden! I am with you - would only need a hint if that!!
That wreath is gorgeous!! How do you get your dried flowers to maintain such vibrancy? I have a difficult time working with cuttings - is there any tricks of the trade? (Side note: I love your channel. I started watching a few months ago and your positivity has really helped make this difficult time a little brighter. The first thing I do when I wake up each morning is check for your daily video!)
I love Alternanthera’s. I just discovered them last year. I think I put a comment about them in another one of your videos suggesting you try them. What I love is the underside of the leaves are this fluorescent orchid color which is just beautiful. Glad you’re trying them!
I grew some last year for the first time too and they were really nice. I had them in morning sun only location. I think they would fry in full sun here.
I love all of the containers you do that I’ve seen so far lol. I have one I wanna finish. I honestly didn’t know you can do multiple varieties of flowers in one container. Thank you for your videos on containers 🙂
Question on the drip: Would there be an advantage to using a T coupler and then bringing the drip line back in a continuous circle like you try to do in the landscape? Or is there no benefit because this is such a smaller scale?
The Impatient Gardener we started using this brown tubing in our containers last spring. That’s how we do it. Tee’d off from the main line and then looped it back around to the tee. The coverage is so good using this tubing!
We have done something similar to this but with purple basil. It's still pretty. It is attracting pollinators, and it tastes so good. It is also very high in vitamin K and has immune boosting properties. My wife also planted lavender in a similar manner.
Hi dear friend thank you so much for another awesome video I always love all your beautiful garden video she put together I am a garden lover I am not good at gardening but I do love it
Lovely. Planting containers is my favourite videos. I love the Strawberry Punch colour 🌺🌸🌺 and yes shocked to see you only put 3 plants in the container lol 😂😂
Guys, I scored a flat of supertunia snowdrift!! They only had a few there and I grabbed them!!! I'm so excited to throw them in the landscape this year!! My daughter is putting together a PINK garden this year she is inspired to garden as well :) I am interested to see where your multicolored pots are going this year! Cant wait for the container competition again :) have a great weekend guys!
I'm really glad I found you cause I am experimenting myself with big pots in a new zone. We only have a acre of land so I am doing different kinds of plants but Florida gets hot during the summer so I have to choose wisely. ❤
LOVE this/these videos. This helps with inspiration, ideas and better understanding when putting my own flowers together. Please, please keep these coming! Look forward to the updates throughout the season. Great idea!
Refreshing to hear Laura say “simple arrangement.” I get overwhelmed with too much spectacular.
I love plants so much. I’ve been interested in planting but I just don’t know where to begin. Seeing all these plants just make my day.
Just begin that's what I did. I found a plant I loved and started container gardening. 💚
So glad to see some simpler arrangements.

Anyone else jealous just looking into the cold frame greenhouse and seeing ALL the colors
The greenhouse looks so good as well as the pots.
Venkat Maddi it’s is crazy how many flowers she has in the green house. I think she is secretly competing with her mom 🤣. Makes for a lot of work watering but if that’s what you live to do than that’s great.
Flowers is her passion, and now is her favorite time of year, now if only I could have 10% of her enthusiasm I would have a beautiful garden
Am watching from ireland, in lockdown, your videos are amazing and have given me a much appreciated change from all the baking I was watching,,and trying,,and eating😜 so containers are my new vibe, thank you 🇮🇪😊

I like the size of the planters and flowers so pretty together, Thanks for sharing
These simple and smaller containers are something that is more practical for me. Thx.
I love and appreciate how you are not using gloves. Nothing is better than feeling the roots and soil on your fingertips.
Can’t get over those pots! Beautiful!
Were the pots cement or some type of (?) plastic
Wow you have lots of plants in your video very excited to see where it is all going. All into the new cut flower garden? Love the copious plants
oh, look at those... excellent color choices and blending: they look like they were just made for each other!! pretty pots, too... it will be so much fun to watch these fill out! can't wait to see the others and your 'flower alley'!
Coleus has become my favorite plant for adding color to my containers ~ they are so easy to sprout from seed, and i can get dozens of plants that way on the cheap!
Love the idea of showing different container ideas for us and trying different plants, we all seem to get stuck in a rut. 🥰
You’re going to love that Alternanthera. I mass planted it last year with dots of Diamond Frost and it performed so well.
that sounds like a really pretty mix.
That's the same combo I do! I also pop in something brighter or pastel for contrast for the focal.
I've never seen it in my garden centers.
ooooooo - I can see why you were drawn to that Plum Dandy Alternanthera! I'm in love! It's Gorgeous! I'm gonna be on the look-out for that one!
Less plants in a container. While planting this passed weekend, I told my mother, I was planting with the Aaron method. We both laugh.
Do you think garden centers look at your cart and say, there goes another garden answer person??? My cart was whatever I could find that was proven winners.
Have a great weekend from Baltimore.
Hahahaha I think they do! I’ve become such a regular.
I went to my favorite garden center but because all that is happening they weren't open for many weeks so they didn't get their usual plants. Bummer. But I did speak to the lady about Garden Answer and she knew about Laura. I told her I was a big fan! They didn't have many PW plants. But then I went to Lowes and jackpot! They even had Supertunia vista bubblegum and several other PW plants. From Charleston SC.
Well my plant buying has been Proven Winners, tired of spending money for plants that don't perform.
I was going to suggest she take her temperature. She may have a fever. Haha!
I think, with a little patience, she will be very pleased with the results of fewer plants per container.
Bahaha I get so upset because it appears no one around here gets my need for proven winners!!!
The next experiment is showing us all the value of fertilizer. Planting 2 pots with same plants...one with and one without fertilizer. BTW can’t wait to see the progress on the new property. 😀🌹

The greenhouse is looking incredible 😱😍

Elana A I would also love to see an updated garden tour of your parent’s garden later in the summer!
I’m in Arizona zone 9B so it is always nice to see some full sun plants! Beautiful containers as always Laura 🌻😍🌸
They look beautiful!!! Cant wait to see the progress. So pretty!!!
I'm excited I got my Garden Answer hoodie for Mothers Day. I love it!!!
I'll wear it proudly. 💗🌱🌻💗🌱🌻
Beautiful combination of flowers and foliage. I can’t wait to see the results.
Beautiful containers. Love the colors. Your greenhouse is full of beauty. Can’t wait to see what you do with all of those plants.

So thankful for you sharing your wisdom and plant art!

These containers are the same size of containers I use in my garden. I appreciate these simple arrangements!
HI LAURA, THESE CONTAINERS AND PLANTS ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL. THAT'S THE REALLY SUMMER ! I'M HAPPY OF THE NEXT VIDEO ! MANY GREATINGS FROM GERMANY ! 🙋♀️👌👍🌼🌻🦋🌞🌞🌞
Your cold frame looks like a nursery center beautiful and FULL! Looking forward to watching all your videos this year! It's part of my daily routine!
Laura you did it! Only 3 plants in your container!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you Laura I do believe you slant your flowers when planting them! Which I never thought f! Great idea, I have done this in planting some of my containers for the first time! will post in proven winners ! When grown! Thank you!

Yes! I'm so glad you mentioned that you've struggled to have superbells and supertunias live happily together in the same container. I purchased a flower pillow from Proven Winners a few years ago and the supertunias never took off. It was still a beautiful show but I thought I did something wrong. I feel vindicated now 😁
They’re beautiful! Looking forward to seeing where they end up and watching the other eight come together! xo
Love seeing planter ideas with just a few plants!
These are really beautiful combinations. And so far, I would take all these into fall. Gorgeous colors and texture. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Wow!! Amazing way to bring more colour to life 😊
She’s amazing so creative 🌺🌸👍👍😎
Can’t wait to see these in all their splendor ☺️
Beautiful! Yesterday I bought a huge hanging basket of the bubble gum vista supertunias and all I keep thinking is “ Oh my goodness, I really have supertunias like Ms. Laura!!” Lol I love you and your flowers so much ❤️
Hoping to score some this weekend but I have a feeling I'm too late to the game !!!
Ms. Mintz you never know! I found some yesterday at my local Lowe’s! Look around, you might be surprised!
Chelsea C ....yes! Our Lowe’s has a clearance section that often has proven winners products that may be a bit bedraggled but pop right out of it with a trimming and some fertilizer! Half price!
I had a container last year with the Plum Dandy. It is a "beast" as well and took over the entire container! It was beautiful! Love the containers!
I'm not into ASMR but there is something so satisfying about the sound of bags of soil being emptied and fertilizer being scooped.
Love those two plant combinations, looking forward to the updates.
Just watching with enjoyment...your passion and exuberance very inspiring...
Your plumbing skills...👍👏
Thanks for sharing...❤💖💝
Beautiful! I’m now feeling inspired 😊😊😊👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😊😊😊
Love the pots can’t wait to see their progress. What a beautiful wreath. I just found your channel a few months ago and I have taken your lead and started filling my pots a lot fuller. They look great! See you in the next one.

Have a nice day.
This season the garden seems like it will end up like Disney Land with the brighter colors.
Yes! Then you can rest your eyes over in the Moon Garden & appreciate how wonderful a monochromatic garden can really be!
I would love for you to keep updating us on different food growing/seed starting times. Hope that makes sense!
I planted the Truffula in a big pot with some superbells. Now I am going to go get one and put in the ground to compare that looked so pretty. Yep, hope they still have it cause I want to do the wreath too! Beautiful!
This is going to be fun! Can't wait!!!
Gardening relaxes me, you give me some good ideas
Thank you so much for displaying the name of the plants, and a link, that is considerate. I learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Have a happy fall planting your favorite plants.
i love the more tropical vibes/colors ur going with this year! i really like that second pot. supertunia honey is such an interesting plant
Your containers always look so good, look forward to seeing them in a few weeks!
Thanks for posting. I have 4 containers I'm going to put on my front porch and maybe I do each one in a mono. 😊I'm feeling inspired!
Beautiful combinations of plants,looking forward to the other 6 pots
Very excited to see a container competition again! It was so fun last year!
Love this idea! Can’t wait to see how they fill in. 🥰
I’ve seen that ‘plum dandy’ grown indoors. They’re stunning.
The color layering your background looks so beautiful. Love those pots!
Gorgeous! Can you please do a video about your favorite perennials that bloom all summer season long that I don't need to deadhead. Oh man, those plants would make all my dreams come true!
Can't wait to follow this container
Wanting to put in drip system in my pots this year. Thanks so much for all the different plants that are available.
I’m so excited for this! My deck is flower alley here. Side note Laura - after watching the cocktail container video I was at the grocery store and they had French lavender ice cream so I had to try it. I’d never had lavender.

Beautiful and I’m sure they are going to grow so pretty!
You just can’t beat a container with coleus😊❤️😊
I really like the zooming in this video. Lets me see all the tiny details on the plant!
Beautiful arrangements! I’m hooked to watch you gardening videos! I love them all, you explain it very nicely! Thank you!
I love all of the containers you do that I’ve seen so far lol. I have one I wanna finish. I honestly didn’t know you can do multiple varieties of flowers in one container. Thank you for your videos on containers 🙂
Lovely arrangements.
Thank you for the daily dose of gardening inspiration!
Beautiful arrangements!
Gorgeous combinations!!
I love your joy! 🌸🌼
Question on the drip: Would there be an advantage to using a T coupler and then bringing the drip line back in a continuous circle like you try to do in the landscape? Or is there no benefit because this is such a smaller scale?
Great question! I'm curious about this too.
I too was wondering about this!
What if she answers your question on her weekly recap?! Ha, that would be so funny. ☺️
The Impatient Gardener we started using this brown tubing in our containers last spring. That’s how we do it. Tee’d off from the main line and then looped it back around to the tee. The coverage is so good using this tubing!
I was thinking the exact same thing!!
We have done something similar to this but with purple basil. It's still pretty. It is attracting pollinators, and it tastes so good. It is also very high in vitamin K and has immune boosting properties. My wife also planted lavender in a similar manner.
Hi dear friend thank you so much for another awesome video I always love all your beautiful garden video she put together I am a garden lover I am not good at gardening but I do love it
Love more color! That is what I do ever year! We have so much green already.... Indiana
Lovely. Planting containers is my favourite videos. I love the Strawberry Punch colour 🌺🌸🌺 and yes shocked to see you only put 3 plants in the container lol 😂😂
These are some of my favorites. Thx.
Guys, I scored a flat of supertunia snowdrift!! They only had a few there and I grabbed them!!! I'm so excited to throw them in the landscape this year!! My daughter is putting together a PINK garden this year she is inspired to garden as well :) I am interested to see where your multicolored pots are going this year! Cant wait for the container competition again :) have a great weekend guys!
Nice to see some simple containers, I would love to plant full but the budget doesn’t allow. Love your channel.
I'm really glad I found you cause I am experimenting myself with big pots in a new zone. We only have a acre of land so I am doing different kinds of plants but Florida gets hot during the summer so I have to choose wisely. ❤
I am so amused watching you! 🙂👏
LOVE this/these videos. This helps with inspiration, ideas and better understanding when putting my own flowers together. Please, please keep these coming! Look forward to the updates throughout the season. Great idea!
Such excellent ideas Laura, just as I’m planning my summer containers. Thank you for sharing. 🌸
love your flower arrangements I got a chance to grow a proven winner plant this season
