    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.

      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

    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"?

    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.)

    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.

    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.

    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...

However, I've found that I can order it from Wallmart at competetive prices and shipping directly to my home is free.

      I wonder if she has called around to local nurseries?

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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 😁😂

    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!😉

    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!
