Special cat cushions or cuddle cups strategically placed in the greenhouse may keep Cheddar & Russel from bedding down on your plants. They're probably picking the warmest spots out of a draught & spots up higher, where they can see an ambush coming. It's easier to train cats by distracting with what they want rather than try to dissuade them from what you don't.
It is wonderful how you can see it from their point of view, and it changes everything. Loved how you understood the cat's behavior so intuitively, and thoughtfully. Thank you Michele🌷🌷🌷
I found having a round baby poof was perfect for my cat that if he slept in it he was in a deep curled up state. I also had a big flat pillow he would sleep on in warmer weather. The pillows would go outside when I was actively doing garden tasks and my orange Thomas would follow. No "special" pillow and Thomas would lay on my plants. It works.
This might be an unpopular comment but we love all the people that come in to your videos. The most fun videos to date have been with your mom, the ones where your friends helped at the college...Your sister and your brother tasting the nectarines... And the time when Ken made a feature (that was so creative). Have a great week ahead. Hope your spring is fantastic. I'm most excited about the orchard meadow. Even if it might take time to develop completely
Hi Laura Your videos are so informative. I have learned so much watching your videos and really enjoy your weekly recaps when my weekly chores get in the way. Would you ever consider asking Paul and Bethany to sit in with you and Aaron?
I agree 9:02 Hellebores can be very expensive. I also have a lot of tree roots and heavy clay soil, so planting large plants is an extra challenge. A few years ago, I found Pine Knot Farms in Clarksville, Virginia. They are about a 2 hour drive from me and only have 4-6 open house weekends each year, but they ship. The best thing is they have 6-packs of hellebores. The prices this spring for a 6-pack ranged from $15-$20. If you have patience, this is a great solution. The 12 I planted in September 2 years ago bloomed profusely this year. The other fun thing is I didn’t know exactly what I was getting, just what family they were in and if they were singles or doubles. For example, “Southern Belles Strain.”
Laura, I have a small 10x12 hoop house which I warm most of the time with a small heater. I have used it for about 10 years now. It will not hold it above freezing on nights where it drops into the low 20's or below. To supplement I use candles. I have 4 that are in candle stands. I drop candles in jars into them. And cover with inverted small clay pots. There is a little more involved to be sure they get air to burn etc. But suffice it to say the clay pots get warm and release a steady safe heat. On even colder nights, I have placed a large candle jar in the center of the space on a paver. I then stack clay pots inverted over it, lifted by a brick on either side for air flow. The pot sizes are a 12 to 14 inch, topped by a 10" wide pot, topped by a 6 " pot. It stacks to a little higher than my knee. And as they warm, itagain is like a gentle heater. A key to making all of the warm is to partially cover the pot drainage holes with clay, or shale Rock shards to trap the heat. The 4 candle stands and the one center stand have held it to about 10 degrees before. But once I have to deal with extended temps below 10 degrees, I have to add a camp stove that screws onto a tiny propane tank. I put it on pavers. Uncovered and turn it as low as it will burn and maintain a clean blue flame. This one will use up oxygen and would be unsafe to enter without adequate ventilation. There is lots more to say about these options of course, including it would not work around children or pets for obvious reasons. But te system works well for me. One person asked how to know the temps outside from inside. I have an inside outside remote thermostat which I am able to read from inside exactly the temps in the green house. It stays by my bed and if necessary, I set an alarm to wake me to read it at least once on extremely cold situations. I could tell you of a few harrowing 3 am nights of building more candle stands, and covering the greenhouse with blankets, when propane was not available...or spreading another layer of plastic over it...well enough of that. But for 99% of the time it's simple to light a few candles. Love starting my day with you guts. Have learned so much.
I had to stop the video at 25:55 to jump into the discussion about the arbor. I think it's beautiful. Yes, Aaron, it doesn't match the garden design overall, but it does bring in a sense of romantic whimsy. And besides, who said the garden has to be all "matchy-matchy"?
You guys are so great to your sister to give her yard a garden answer/supply makeover. Is she the sister that watches your kiddos? You guys have such great family bonds it's inspiring for those of us who aren't so lucky. God bless!
Disinfecting pruners: I use Lysol disinfecting spray. (Learned this from Erin @TheImpatientGardener). I alternate between 2 pruners so one is disinfecting while I'm using the other. The spray is super easy to use on everything including pruning saws and loppers. It will cause some rusting on certain tools which means that I clean and oil them a couple times a season. I basic clean and sharpen my pruners weekly. (I garden 5 hours a day, 6 days a week so my tools get a real workout.)
Ref Biotone: until I followed your channel I had no idea how helpful Biotone would be. Now, its just part of my transplanting routine. If I’m paying for a beautiful plant, I want it to have the best shot in my heavy clay sooks.
I was at our Home Depot this afternoon...southern state. They had Rose Tone, Holly Tone, and Plant Tone. Also another "Tone" that I can't recall the name of. Also had bags of worm castings!
I agree with Aaron on that arbor, the style just doesn’t work with what you have going on. Weird weather here in 7A too…60’s to 80* days & still some freezing overnight. Only brave enough to plant some pansies & violas so far!
Cherry Caramel Phlox is considered a cool flower (read the book, I know you have it😂). It likes to germinate in a cooler environment than tender annuals. It’s an excellent candidate for winter sowing or planting in the fall and allowing it to overwinter in the garden.
Use Spray and Forget! It’s amazing. Organic and gets rid of the ickiest stains over time. Reactivated every time it gets wet. I’ve used it on roofs, pavers, cement and siding.
I live in emmett, idaho and went to a gardening class this week where the speaker mentioned Andrew's when talking about places to buy ground cover. "Well all know Andrew's in Ontario, right?" 😊
It's funny listening to you talk about how all of the rain has delayed everything when in North Dakota this year there has been so much snow and no thawing days that we might be working in flower beds and planting garden in June. It's just not normal for us, either.
While it is always said the best time to move bulbs like daffodils is after the foliage has died back, they are tough enough you can move them in flower or ANY time, and they will be blooming next spring wherever you put them. Daffs are not something you need to let rule you.
Aaron. The big white arched gate, get over it, it's staying and will be placed somewhere on the property. You're wrong, it fits in perfectly with your landscape. What era do you think the Hartley belongs to? VICTORIAN! I have spoken, off my soapbox 🙂
Hello! Did you see/hear Kevin from Epic Gardening giving you a shout out? It was in their recent Dahlia video. They were about to hand dig each hole. Jacques whipped out the auger, and Kevin said they’re doing it the Laura way 😂
Hi Laura, instead of cutting down the seedlings to then them, have you considered just separating them and sending the extras to the garden center? It's just sad to see seedlings that push up to grow just to be cut down.
Thanks for the recap vid, while I pot up my peppers. I've made that rookie mistake of not labelling, I can only identify my peps and toms, ha ha. Oh well, what a surprise I'll have when I see what the other trays grow into.
Why not sand blast the arbor, repair as needed, then let it rust naturally almost like corten steel? I think it will look more deliberate and less "shabby" Aaron.
Laura, have you ever planted lavender from seed? I can't seem to get them germinated. I have even tried sprouting in a plastic ziploc bag and cold stratifying and no luck.
Hi Laura, love my daily routine of watching Laura ( only TH-cam channel I never miss). Question, I know you and Aaron have started using compost in place of mulch, does it stay in place and look good the whole year? I am spending way too much money on mulch every year and love the look of the compost.
As far as the arbor, I agree with Aaron on that one. I think it's the whimsical, Dr. Suessness of its appearance that is a turnoff to me. But I realize, to each it's own. Your mother would really love it. No offense intended, Laura
Cats LOVE cardboard and will always lay on it even if it's just one piece. You might want to try that to encourage the cats to sleep elsewhere in the greenhouse.
Regarding the arbor...all of your garden decor is victorian, including the fountains, greenhouse and the garden design around it, as well as the arbor. Leaving the arbor 'shabby chic' would work if you had a cottage garden area; like a Beatrix Potter garden for the children to explore. Then, don't paint it, it would be so charming...
Do you have any videos on putting down gravel paths - I made the mistake of just putting on grass thinking that if it was enough then it would be okay - the dogs used the path over and over and it has become a muddy mess. how about brick?
I went to a presentation by a local worm farm. They said that worm castings are very good for deterring spider mites. You spread them under your boxwoods. They have a chemical called chitinase that repels them. The worm farmers had had particularly good luck with castings for spider mites!
Almost choked on my smoothie when Aaron made that Thanos comment and then Lauras reaction. You two are like a comedy due sometimes. 😂 Absolutely made my day. ❤
From my HVAC/electrician husband who gives people small heaters to use if their furnace is not repairable and a new not installed for a few days: Never turn a heater on HIGH. Set it at a lower temp and let it cycle on and off and it won't overheat as it would on High. And never use extension cords to run a heater. Love your Recap videos with both of you in them! You were my savior during the Covid shutdown and has now expanded my gardening efforts. I learn so much from your videos.
*I'm so opportuned irrespective of the economic crisis and financial conditions I am still able to earn $33,500 returns from my initial $6,500 every 10days*
It has been awesome, really crypto is very frustrating.. I was astonishing how I made $71,380 with $14k as a Novice. I got to put in some $$$ in it tho .
The giant arbor may find a home, if not then your mom may need it in her garden. It's probably built better than modern ones. A welding shop could repair it, be pricey, but still built better than modern ones.
Sorry Aaron, I’m with Laura on the arbor. It’s ok to have something in the garden that doesn’t “match”. I know Laura will find just the right spot and plants to make it perfect. If ever comes the day that you do part with it, give it to the parents so we can still see it in garden tours, I love that piece. And YES the rust is a lovely feature, I myself buy rusted pieces because of how much I love the look. 😊💜
In answer to Carol Keller's comment about Biotone - none of the nurseries in my area carry espoma products, except Home Depot, but only in the 8 lb bags, which can be expensive to purchase enough for my gardens. However, I've found that I can order it from Wallmart at competetive prices and shipping directly to my home is free.
I was a little confused when you put your phlox seeds with the rest of them...in my experience, they need darkness to germinate. Last year I put some in my closet, and after a week, almost half were germinated, so for this year I'm going to use individual cells, that way I can pull them outside under the lights once they are out, and I can give the slow ones more time to wake up. If you still have phlox seeds, maybe you want to give it a try that way...(also caramel cherry phlox, from rare seeds, but I am zone 4a)....happy Sunday!
Hi Laura and Aaron. Thanks for the great content you put out - yours is my ‘go to’ channel. The type of spring you are having, is like spring every year in England. It really does feel like summer will never come (and sometimes it doesn’t 😢).
I live near Laura and have the same feeling. Our problem is, we are forecasted to have a high of 44F(6C) tomorrow and next week, the forecast is for a high of 74F(33C). It can be cool, cool, cool and then, BAM! summer hits and fries everything. It can never be just a gradual warming up, so frustrating.
I wish we had stores that carried espomas full product line. Fleet Farm in my area is the only place I can find land and sea compost or espomas potting soil and seed starting mix. I'm currently waiting on a call back from them on incoming pallets. Ordering that online is so expensive. I can only find it for over 20 dollars per bag or the shipping is horrendous. Espoma, please be more widely available in the Midwest 🙏
Love the Rust Arbor. Even though one would say that it is falling apart I really don't think so. It is what gives it character. Also you would be surprised how it would fit into the gardens. With the structures that you are making and already have is Victorian. Even with the concrete structures that you think is the French vibe. They all are the Victorian decor. Anyways enjoy the rest of your day.
That’s so funny “cold long spring “. Spring just started 3/21/23. That’s only 12 days ago. We warmed up quite a bit in February then March got cold. I keep saying they were having an identity crisis this year. 😂😂😂 we are zone 6a.
Love Laura and Aaron! I agree with Aaron about the rusted arbor. It does not go with the style of the rest of your garden and property. Give it to your mother and enjoy it in your parents’ garden!😉
Good morning, Laura and Aaron, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 Happy Palm Sunday 🌻🌞🌻 Very warm and sunny 🌞 here. Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾 ❤Peggy❤
I just watched a video after yours about the cherry caramel phlox and she froze them then germinated in a wet paper towel before planting. She made the comment about that color specifically.
I agree with Aaron about the rusted gate. Its seen better days. Besides ur kiddos could get cuts on it n nasty infections from the rust. Its not worth it
Thanks for your recaps and for helping others understand and learn from your show. It's fun to think of someone answering their friends that their garden pros are Laura and Aaron!

I miss waking up and seeing you every day. I am having the hardest time seeing your TH-cam and Facebook videos. It’s a job to find you guys lately.
The questions in the recap were great! Love hearing your explanations. I have learned so much from you. Thanks so much.

That arch is just amazing. Laura likes it Aaron and thanks to her you are able to make a living, lol, so I think she should get to keep it.

We get plant-tone with a bio-tone formula here in Louisiana, but I have ordered the bio-tone from Amazon for spring planting.
I really want an indoor Oslo grow light setup they look so fun and a raised planters thanks ❤

I absolutely adore you Laura but I’m with Aaron in the arbor 😂😎
I'm with Laura keep the rustic arbor!!! So charming! Sorry Aaron 🤣🤣🤣
I've found in my area...the Pacific Northwest.....if a source carries Espoma they usually only carry one or two products.
Aaron take the gate to be sandblasted and powered coated! I think you would feel different if it wasn’t rusty
That’s what’s so great about it and what Laura loves!
keep your arbor and paint it black . it is beautiful!
Difference in biotone and plant tone is the very small difference in the NPK of each.
Thanks!
I find it challenging to get Biotone at times….usually can find Plant Tone. And I always have Milorganite on hand….it’s less expensive than Espoma.
I love bio tone, all I use.
Hello! Did you see/hear Kevin from Epic Gardening giving you a shout out? It was in their recent Dahlia video. They were about to hand dig each hole. Jacques whipped out the auger, and Kevin said they’re doing it the Laura way 😂
Sure missed the beautiful gardens video yesterday (Saturday). I know you said you'd stop them when the season got busy. I guess this is the time...
Love your videos. I watch every single one of them.
Hi Laura, instead of cutting down the seedlings to then them, have you considered just separating them and sending the extras to the garden center? It's just sad to see seedlings that push up to grow just to be cut down.
Thanks for the recap vid, while I pot up my peppers. I've made that rookie mistake of not labelling, I can only identify my peps and toms, ha ha. Oh well, what a surprise I'll have when I see what the other trays grow into.
Oh my goodness Aaron..."Thanos was right. " Thank you for that good laugh.
Love all that you do. I would love to have that greenhouse you built. Wish list😇😇
I so wish my local nurseries carried more proven winners plants. I know I can order through proven winners direct but the shipping….
Cherry Caramel Phlox, I heard last year that they need darkness to germinate and sure enough, after starting more, in the dark, they germinated.
I have had a hard time finding Bio-tone in my area too, but I actually found that True Value stores carry it.
My Agway always has it.
Why not sand blast the arbor, repair as needed, then let it rust naturally almost like corten steel?
I think it will look more deliberate and less "shabby" Aaron.
Sorry Aaron, I really like that arch
Laura, have you ever planted lavender from seed? I can't seem to get them germinated. I have even tried sprouting in a plastic ziploc bag and cold stratifying and no luck.
“So you’re telling me Thanos was right” 😂😂😂😂
Enjoying your video.❤
Have you tried muratic acid to remove stains off your house? We have had to use that to get rid of rust stains from our water.

When you build the kids that play house that gate would be to cute they could have their own secret garden
In regards to the Phlox: If I remember correctly, it needs total darkness to germinate. Maybe that is the issue?
At 25.49 KEEP THE ARBOR, OR SELL IT TO ME

Last year I put some in my closet, and after a week, almost half were germinated, so for this year I'm going to use individual cells, that way I can pull them outside under the lights once they are out, and I can give the slow ones more time to wake up. If you still have phlox seeds, maybe you want to give it a try that way...(also caramel cherry phlox, from rare seeds, but I am zone 4a)....happy Sunday!
I had to do them over last year, second time presprouted in papertowel in the dark and off the heat
is the only way I can get phlox to sprout for me
Hi Laura and Aaron. Thanks for the great content you put out - yours is my ‘go to’ channel. The type of spring you are having, is like spring every year in England. It really does feel like summer will never come (and sometimes it doesn’t 😢).
I live near Laura and have the same feeling. Our problem is, we are forecasted to have a high of 44F(6C) tomorrow and next week, the forecast is for a high of 74F(33C). It can be cool, cool, cool and then, BAM! summer hits and fries everything. It can never be just a gradual warming up, so frustrating.
Wow, that’s quite a temperature difference.
I wish we had stores that carried espomas full product line. Fleet Farm in my area is the only place I can find land and sea compost or espomas potting soil and seed starting mix. I'm currently waiting on a call back from them on incoming pallets. Ordering that online is so expensive. I can only find it for over 20 dollars per bag or the shipping is horrendous. Espoma, please be more widely available in the Midwest 🙏
Can't find Land & Sea or potting soil in my area at all. Luckily, I can find Biotone and some of the other fertilizers.
Every week, I am amazed at how the plants in the background are getting bigger and lusher 😍 fantastic 😊 have a fabulous blessed day, everyone ❤
Love the Rust Arbor. Even though one would say that it is falling apart I really don't think so. It is what gives it character. Also you would be surprised how it would fit into the gardens. With the structures that you are making and already have is Victorian. Even with the concrete structures that you think is the French vibe. They all are the Victorian decor. Anyways enjoy the rest of your day.
Please use the rusted arbor again!!! Runty is awesome in the garden!!!
That’s so funny “cold long spring “. Spring just started 3/21/23. That’s only 12 days ago. We warmed up quite a bit in February then March got cold. I keep saying they were having an identity crisis this year. 😂😂😂 we are zone 6a.
Laura give the arbor to your momma then you can still enjoy it at her house. It's doing no good being stored. How's that for a guilt trip 😁😂
Laura is the plant whisperer. The little plants look more comfortable.😉
Love Laura and Aaron! I agree with Aaron about the rusted arbor. It does not go with the style of the rest of your garden and property. Give it to your mother and enjoy it in your parents’ garden!😉
Good morning, Laura and Aaron, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
Happy Palm Sunday 🌻🌞🌻
Very warm and sunny 🌞 here.
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾
❤Peggy❤
I just watched a video after yours about the cherry caramel phlox and she froze them then germinated in a wet paper towel before planting. She made the comment about that color specifically.
I agree with Aaron about the rusted gate. Its seen better days. Besides ur kiddos could get cuts on it n nasty infections from the rust. Its not worth it
Thanks for your recaps and for helping others understand and learn from your show. It's fun to think of someone answering their friends that their garden pros are Laura and Aaron!
