You often make reference to planting the same things each year and are concerned it’s not interesting for those who have been around a while. Please know that we, too, often plant them same things each year and your videos of planting and pruning serve as real life reminders of when we need to do those things!! So please keep it up!! ❤️🌸🌻☺️
I Second this for sure! I rewatch and watch her videos daily to keep up with my garden every year that has been better and better since the previous years because of Laura! She is absolutely wonderful and I love her relatability to us all as I love to see her family (furry ones too) in all her videos!
And also us 30 (ish) year olds 😂 I can still say that for at least another year! My kids are teenagers so I have time to garden like I’ve always wanted... I have so many ideas for my 5 acres
And us distance learning teachers who finally got up out of our teaching chairs from the last year-and-a-half and are now playing and working in our home gardens... you are an inspiration to us all!!!!
Yes. My neighbor and I try to organic garden and we are having issues. So sad.(pests) I mentioned Laura and she watches her. I think my go tos is Laura and MIgardener. Love her.
I bought my first bag of bio tone and now I’m walking around my half acre wondering if I have space for a cut flower garden. I know I’m not the only one who pretends I’m on Garden Answer when I’m doing any type of planting 😆
Indeed! I stand there looking at a space saying things to my husband like, “no, I think the layering of plants needs to be in place here since we see it from the window. It’s a big area so let’s not forget the seasonal interest as well” I get a look like 🤔 what are you talking about? Lol.
Thank you for all the cool views you give us ... I can't imagine how long it took you to drive to the new property when you stopped and set up a camera at several different areas so we could watch you drive away ... and the view through your climbing roses? 😍 thanks again for all you and the team do.. Oh and beautiful shrubs! I learned of the lemony lace elderberry from you last year. Found 2 on sale. Planted one, gave one to a dear friend, and we have been LOVING watching them grow. ~Leanne, NC 7B
@@patriciacole8773 not always. She goes out a lot herself and has talked about setting up the camera to get different shots because she knows its fun for us to see
Good Morning Laura & Gardening Friends! I have to say that I do appreciate how Laura shares as much information about the plants as possible & answers questions that we as gardeners may have as she shares. I’ve learned so much from this channel and for that I’m Thankful. 🪴👏🏼💛
Also love and appreciate the content that removes the intimidating factors for irrigation, auger using etc., I don't rely on anyone now, merrily get on with it 💜
Oh wow, these are definitely plants I’m going to see if I can find similar ones to here in Australia BTW, those extra camera angles with the flowers, we appreciate so much Laura. Thank You
Your gardens' vistas and vignettes are killing me here Laura. I'm beginning to see a lot of it reach a level of maturity where views are well framed (I guess I should say). Well done!! Taking notes....
Thank you for the lovely shots while driving. Especially the view in beginning through the climbing roses! Your "team" sets up beautiful shots, lol!!!! #hardwork
She did it again. I’m supposed to be working, instead I’m tuned into this channel. I don’t have a garden, a yard, a patch or balcony. I have 35 house plants. I love you Laura & family.
Thanks, Laura! 🌱You're a Sweetie!!🍬 By the way, I love the extra shots 🎬 of you we see through the flowers & trees as you're driving towards your planting destination! 📽 Great Job!🌳🌲 Don't Stop!😁🎥👋🏼
Thanks so much for letting me wake up to you each day Laura! I was lost a couple of years ago and then found you and your beautiful garden. Now my garden is growing and gorgeous and my soul is fed! THANK YOU! Will there be a new name for the "new property" like maybe the Park?
Yes that shot through the roses was just lovely and dreamy. It was nice to see longer photoshots than we usually see. That means Laura wasn't running back to get the camera and set it up again, that was really funny to find out.
Laura’s gone “wild”…. Never thought you’d grow anything that could just be so free form. So happy for you that you get to just let the space be what it wants to be. So much freedom in that!!!! Question, you said that they don’t like clay soils. I live in north Texas with black clay soil. Could you amend the hole and plant them? Thanks Laura, I know how much hard work is it to film and plant. Appreciate you taking the time to slow it down and show us all the steps. I’ve learned so much from you. Everybody thinks I’m an expert in the family cuz all my plants grow and thrive. And my beds look so nice since I’ve started planting in odd numbers instead of onesies!!!! It’s all because of garden answer!!!
Usually I want everything Laura plants. Never ever will I go looking for a sumac (will be mowing suckers down later today). Congrats on the second gator! Now each of the kids can ride with mom or dad in the future.
Just want to take the time to appreciate all the camera angles you had. I know you were walking/driving back and forth to set those up. Good “storytelling” as Aaron said. Thank you to you guys (including Ken) for all the quality videos you put out everyday!
Laura & Aaron I want to thank you for introducing to Espoma. This year my gardens are flourishing as never before, seeing what the products you recommend and the results are a added bonus to all your wonderful videos!🌸🌿🌳🌲
Just a glimpse of the roses and the west side makes me ask when is the next garden tour? I love your gardens so much! Need to see around chicken coup, behind green house, a peek of what’s in the green house, 14 containers along drive, gardens at back door, garden along sidewalk with circle walk, how cutting garden is growing on and what’s in the high tunnels. We all live somewhat vicariously through you and your garden and I need a stroll around. Benjamin is a sweet, sweet boy and you are not the only one who realizes it. His spontaneous “wonderful” was absolutely precious. I truly enjoy every video. Thank you and Aaron for sharing with us.
Laura and Aaron, you guys are the only ones that I watch the ads all the way through for you. 😁 I love watching your videos so much! Every other channel... Skip! 😂🤣 Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge, projects, your kindness, and your beautiful family. 🥰
I love the music in this video! So peaceful, just how gardening is. It erases our troubles and invites serenity into our lives, even if it's just while pulling those darned weeds! Haha 😄 Thank you for filling our mornings with your knowledge, kindness and grace Laura!
As a new gardener figuring things out, you have been a huge help! What do you use to keep track of all the various times to fertilize, do bug treatments, and when to cut back for all your different plants? Phone reminders, calendars, spreadsheets? I'm trying to figure out the best way to make sure nothing gets neglected, any insights would be much appreciated! Thanks, keep the awesome videos coming!!
When I started watching a year ago. I was In a deep and dark place, And realised how soothing and calming your videos are. It was with the mailtime where Aaron said something inappropriate and you said something to him back that I realised how great your Channel is. Your respect for people, your plants, your animals etc. It's just so inspiring.
The new property is going to be so glorious once everything is full grown! When you’re filming videos like this, it would be super helpful to show pictures in the screen of what all the trees will look like when full grown ( as you point them out). I am still a fairly new gardener and don’t really know what a lot of them look like. I could watch your videos all day long! 💚
I know you hear this all the time but thank you for your videos. You have said that your goal is to create an oasis in the desert. This channel is like an oasis for me on the internet. I really needed to relax and your videos help me feel grounded.
Good Morning Garden Answer & Friends from Traverse City, Michigan. I absolutely am in love with the garden shots as Laura was driving the gator to the cutflower property with the new add ins. Stunning view of the arbor....I just love it all. Your hardwork & love to every plant & bloom is showing their gratitude back
I love the trees you chose. I can’t grow these in my zone but that okay... I’m still learning so much. And I want to say that was a gorgeous shot (at 5:35) where we are looking through the rose arbor and you’re driving in the background. Just so serene and beautiful and romantic. Simply perfect.
It's so cool to see the progression of this space. I cant wait to see how different it looks when it's all filled in! Love your videos ♡☕🌷☕🌷☕🌷 #coffeeandgardenanswer
Those elderberry shrubs are so pretty. Now I want one. The sumacs are really glorious in the fall. I am anxious to watch this new area develop into your wonderful vision.
"New property" should be christened "Parkland". I can see it with grass paths and trees full grown. And your production quality is top notch, long shots of Laura and Gator headed out into the field.. just wonderful!
Awww two I have, yeah! I have taken suckers from Sumac to start new trees and yes it works. I have 2 of the elderbetties; addicted to elderberries of many types, and I lift it to be a tree instead of shrub and its gorgeous, Love both of these so so much.
I’ve always wanted to plant Sumac! I can’t wait to see how they do. Do you like smoke trees? I planted two and love the color and texture next to my green elderberry. I planted three black lace elderberry two years ago for a privacy screen… they are amazing! I love how I can whack them back here and there and they don’t care. Love love everything you do! Just across the border in ID👩🌾🙋♀️
I was amazed that I found Proven Winners plants in my local garden center - in Turku, Southwest Finland! Naturally I went nuts, I could barely believe my eyes. This is the first season ever for me to have a small garden and the very first shrub that I bought was Black Lace Elderberry, looking forward to watch it grow! :)
For anyone looking for an elderberry for a small garden, I just planted a black tower elderberry. They’re a columnar elderberry that’s supposed to only get three feet wide. Fingers crossed it will obey the tag and lend some great vertical interest to my tiny patch of a front garden.
wow.. cannot wait to watch this area grow! i love that you have captured the plantings of this area on video: what a legacy for your children and grandchildren (if the property stays in the family) to see how it all started... it's hard to imagine having a property this big when my entire house and property could practically fit in your barn, hahaha... it's going to be amazing!!! i'm excited!! thanks for the video!!
Before I went to bed last night I thought, "I'm going to check TH-cam and see if anyone posted a new DIY." What do I see when he came up? A new Q/A video of you guys. I thought, "Holy cow, they usually don't post this late." So now I will have check every night to make sure I don't miss a video...lol. You were talking about living where the humidity is high and I thought, Laura and Aaron would stroke out if you lived in Tennessee. When I go out to work in my flower beds, mow the lawn,trim limbs on the trees, or just sit on our deck, I feel like I drenched myself in a bucket of water from sweating so much. BUT... I would rather be hot than cold. Cold hurts this old woman's bones.
I have the old Sumac growing on the edge of my woods and yard. I really like the look of them and they do try to spread into the yard. Mowing keeps them in check. They give a bit of a tropical look to the edge of the yard.
Wow Laura your roses on your arch so beautiful. And your new area is starting to slowly fill up with some beautiful trees and plants. Can't wait for winter time when some of them change colours so beautiful. Cant wait.
Bless your heart, Laura. You're such a super heroine. What a beautiful wildlife sanctuary will also result from all your efforts! See the quail, they're getting the "word" out. Hope you add a little ground bubbler fountain so they can have an oasis to drink water... love the progress.
Hi Laura! I loved the views of you going out to your new property, especially the view through the Colette roses on the arbor! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Those shrubs will be so pretty out there. Thank you so much for sharing!
That area is starting to turn out great have ever thought about putting lilacs out on the new property I think the blooms and overall structure of the shrub or tree will look great just a suggestion have a great day🌳🌷🌷
Don't ever move. Just think about how beautiful this new space will become, by the time you have grandchildren. Oh it comes fast, my 2 year old granddaughter gardens with me, and it was just yesterday her mom was so little, like your babies. So very fast.
We have a gorgeous Tiger Eye Sumac in a huge pot on our patio. We’ve had it probably five years and plant herbs around the bottom of it. I’ve been thrilled with how it looks.
Can hardly wait to see the elderberry grow. Laura because of you I got 4 Quick Fires. I can hardly wait to plant them. Just because of you. Wish me luck. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I love using branches of sumac berries in my winter arrangements. Have you ever used them for yours? And those black lace elderberries! So beautiful! 😍
Laura, you have me the confidence to dig up my suffering hydrangeas... I had originally placed them in a shady spot years ago and they don’t bloom very well. I spent hours getting them into a better spot yesterday. They probably still won’t bloom this year but they have a better chance next year!
We love everything you do. Thank you for taking us with on this journey. Love your garden. Sumacs are considered trash trees in our area. I’m always digging them out of my garden. This video is so beautiful with all the camera angles
I love watching your garden evolve, there's always something new to look at. So much inspiration in the new area and tranquility in the more established areas. Thank you for sharing.
Can you give us an update on your maple trees along the driveway? I remember you guys staking a few and I’m curious to see how they’re doing. I’m getting ready to stake a couple of mine.
It is so amazing you can go here or there and get plants or trees and. There you go. A absolutely future peaceful area. This is very so rewarding to see in the morning. What a blessing.
Hi Laura. If the pathways in the new property are going to be grass - what will be covering the ground around the trees? Do you plan to use mulch? Or under-plantings? Sorry if I have missed this - I do watch every video, but somehow I assumed all the trees were going to be in a big grassed area, like parkland.
I just planted a Laced Up Elderberry that doesn’t get as wide as the Black Lace variety…so excited to see it grow. Also…I have 3 Tiger eyes in my yard…4th season with these….only pulled out a handful of suckers so no big deal. They are so amazing that it is worth a few suckers every year. 🌸👍🏻 I appreciate all the extra effort for the extra driving footage….makes the video flow so well. Thanks for all you do.
Good morning. I absolutely love waking up to your videos and coffee. Just a note for the both of you. I have ordered 1/4" black tubing with 6" emitters off of Amazon now as I just received mine. Love and blessings to you both ❤
Looks like a perfect spot for elderberry (and you mentioned serviceberry nearby), with all those huge trees beyond that white fence I can see a lot of birds enjoying the berries and living and nesting in those trees! Beautiful way to help wildlife!
Laura I'm looking forward to seeing your new land evolve and also to see the kids grow older as well as you and Erin, your like a family away from family :) gods blessings to you all. P.s. if ever possible it would be cool to see a video of you and your sis to
Those are pretty trees! They are going to be beautiful in their new homes! Your gardening canvas is getting more color & going to be beautiful!! 😍🌳🌳🌳🌳🖌❤🤍💚🧡💛
The shape of the sumac trunks is already so pretty! Hoping that will last through the years, but I understand your desire for low maintenance in that space. This area is definitely a lesson in patience and planning. Very inspiring. 💚
I love these shrub choices. I currently have both on my property and they are just wonderful. The Tiger Eye Sumac is such a gorgeous plant. While it does send up little suckers every year, I find them easier to pop out of the ground than most weeds. Thank you for always providing such great content!
Love how the Elderberries really do look like Japanese maples! I use them in my garden for that same reason! Can't wait to see the fall colour on the Sumacs!
I was really worries when we moved to Poland I may not be able to watch for a bit until we got our cell phone situation figured out. I am happy that is not the case! Best show ever!
I was so excited about this sumac, that I went out immediately( I mean literally!) and bought two. I have native sumac that I’ve pretty much eliminated, but I must confess, I miss their fall color. I know how to control sumacs better now, and this variety will be a wonderful addition. Thank you!
When I read the title and saw Sumac I immediately thought “OH NO!!!! Why why why would you want them. Don’t do it!!” ... but then heard you say they are less aggressive spreader. I 🤞🏻🤞🏻 you are correct! I have no reason to doubt your expertise but my yard had the older species of Sumac and we removed them all a couple of years ago. We still have Sumac that pops up all over the yard and flower bed. I just can’t get rid of it!!! Prior to removing them, I agree, they had a gorgeous fall display and come spring the robins here in WI would eat the left over fermented berries. Watching them fly around drunk really was another show. 😆 None the less they are my nemesis!!
Good morning, Laura ☕️ Those Elderberries are going to be a show stopper! Honestly, the only Sumac I’ve ever heard of is Poison Sumac so that little tree 🌳 is a delight! 😍 I can see your vision and can’t wait to see what happens next! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
you are my inspiration Laura. you look so fresh so beautiful n stunningly lively.I'm in love with your speaking style and your enthusiasm .Love from Pakistan
The title included the word 'planting sumac' and my immediate thought was, "Why in the world would you actually plant sumac?" I have been battling sumac invaders from a neighbor's yard for years! With Sumac on one side of my yard and Virginia Creeper invaders on the other it's a constant battle!
Thank you for taking us on this journey. It is "so much fun" for us also. Can't wait to watch it grow with you. I love my Tiger Eye Sumac! The suckers have turned into quite a nice little area of my garden. If you could give us advice how to share the new ones with friends I would love to...when I dig us they die in pot.
I bought a tiger eye on clearance and i did not plant it for almost a yr.. I finally got it in this spring. It also has a tree shape already. I’m really glad you are giving so much more info. I can’t wait to see it in the fall! Thank you!

Living on the East Coast the only sumac I've ever heard of was poison sumac!
The wild sumac in the Midwest can cause severe allergic reactions as well. I have seen domesticated versions planted in commercial areas though.
I was wondering if it was the same!!
😂 yes! I’m still traumatized from it’s removal out of my woodland garden last year. What a mess, not to mention the rash.

I planted three black lace elderberry two years ago for a privacy screen… they are amazing! I love how I can whack them back here and there and they don’t care. Love love everything you do! Just across the border in ID👩🌾🙋♀️
The area is looking so different. We can see the beauty taking shape and so looking forward to your next step. Please keep showing us what you do.
I was amazed that I found Proven Winners plants in my local garden center - in Turku, Southwest Finland! Naturally I went nuts, I could barely believe my eyes. This is the first season ever for me to have a small garden and the very first shrub that I bought was Black Lace Elderberry, looking forward to watch it grow! :)
For anyone looking for an elderberry for a small garden, I just planted a black tower elderberry. They’re a columnar elderberry that’s supposed to only get three feet wide. Fingers crossed it will obey the tag and lend some great vertical interest to my tiny patch of a front garden.
That shot through the arbor at 5:34 was amazing!! And when you said "shrubbery" all I thought was Monty Python 🤣🤣
wow.. cannot wait to watch this area grow! i love that you have captured the plantings of this area on video: what a legacy for your children and grandchildren (if the property stays in the family) to see how it all started... it's hard to imagine having a property this big when my entire house and property could practically fit in your barn, hahaha... it's going to be amazing!!! i'm excited!! thanks for the video!!
Before I went to bed last night I thought, "I'm going to check TH-cam and see if anyone posted a new DIY." What do I see when he came up? A new Q/A video of you guys. I thought, "Holy cow, they usually don't post this late." So now I will have check every night to make sure I don't miss a video...lol. You were talking about living where the humidity is high and I thought, Laura and Aaron would stroke out if you lived in Tennessee. When I go out to work in my flower beds, mow the lawn,trim limbs on the trees, or just sit on our deck, I feel like I drenched myself in a bucket of water from sweating so much. BUT... I would rather be hot than cold. Cold hurts this old woman's bones.
I have the old Sumac growing on the edge of my woods and yard. I really like the look of them and they do try to spread into the yard. Mowing keeps them in check. They give a bit of a tropical look to the edge of the yard.
Did anyone else hear “i want this to be very heavenly planted” yes Laura, I am sure it will be 😍😍 🌱
Wow Laura your roses on your arch so beautiful. And your new area is starting to slowly fill up with some beautiful trees and plants. Can't wait for winter time when some of them change colours so beautiful. Cant wait.
Bless your heart, Laura. You're such a super heroine. What a beautiful wildlife sanctuary will also result from all your efforts! See the quail, they're getting the "word" out. Hope you add a little ground bubbler fountain so they can have an oasis to drink water... love the progress.
Hi Laura! I loved the views of you going out to your new property, especially the view through the Colette roses on the arbor! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Those shrubs will be so pretty out there. Thank you so much for sharing!
Laura, I admire your vision! I hope we get to see the end results of all your hard work in a few years! I'll keep watching!
That area is starting to turn out great have ever thought about putting lilacs out on the new property I think the blooms and overall structure of the shrub or tree will look great just a suggestion have a great day🌳🌷🌷
Don't ever move. Just think about how beautiful this new space will become, by the time you have grandchildren. Oh it comes fast, my 2 year old granddaughter gardens with me, and it was just yesterday her mom was so little, like your babies. So very fast.
We have a gorgeous Tiger Eye Sumac in a huge pot on our patio. We’ve had it probably five years and plant herbs around the bottom of it. I’ve been thrilled with how it looks.
How dreamy and beautiful! Creating a history and a story with your trees .Even the birds love 💕 it 🍃
I love seeing your garden full of plants, thank you
Can hardly wait to see the elderberry grow.
Laura because of you I got 4 Quick Fires. I can hardly wait to plant them. Just because of you. Wish me luck. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I love using branches of sumac berries in my winter arrangements. Have you ever used them for yours?
And those black lace elderberries! So beautiful! 😍
So wish i could grow the elderberry black lace here...its gorgeous. I do have our native elderberry in my cottage garden.
Laura, you have me the confidence to dig up my suffering hydrangeas... I had originally placed them in a shady spot years ago and they don’t bloom very well. I spent hours getting them into a better spot yesterday. They probably still won’t bloom this year but they have a better chance next year!
We love everything you do. Thank you for taking us with on this journey. Love your garden. Sumacs are considered trash trees in our area. I’m always digging them out of my garden. This video is so beautiful with all the camera angles
Those pink climbing roses so pretty!
I love watching your garden evolve, there's always something new to look at. So much inspiration in the new area and tranquility in the more established areas. Thank you for sharing.
Laura the garden expert...Laura the videographer😄 love those shots!
You're doing such a great job! Like Benjamin says, "good job mama"❤
Can you give us an update on your maple trees along the driveway? I remember you guys staking a few and I’m curious to see how they’re doing. I’m getting ready to stake a couple of mine.
It is so amazing you can go here or there and get plants or trees and. There you go. A absolutely future peaceful area. This is very so rewarding to see in the morning. What a blessing.
Hi Laura. If the pathways in the new property are going to be grass - what will be covering the ground around the trees? Do you plan to use mulch? Or under-plantings? Sorry if I have missed this - I do watch every video, but somehow I assumed all the trees were going to be in a big grassed area, like parkland.
I just planted a Laced Up Elderberry that doesn’t get as wide as the Black Lace variety…so excited to see it grow. Also…I have 3 Tiger eyes in my yard…4th season with these….only pulled out a handful of suckers so no big deal. They are so amazing that it is worth a few suckers every year. 🌸👍🏻 I appreciate all the extra effort for the extra driving footage….makes the video flow so well. Thanks for all you do.
Good morning. I absolutely love waking up to your videos and coffee. Just a note for the both of you. I have ordered 1/4" black tubing with 6" emitters off of Amazon now as I just received mine. Love and blessings to you both ❤
I love seeing this all come together. It just keeps getting better and better
You were killin me on the drive out with the scenery..roses etc. 😍😍😍 Just beautiful!!
Looks like a perfect spot for elderberry (and you mentioned serviceberry nearby), with all those huge trees beyond that white fence I can see a lot of birds enjoying the berries and living and nesting in those trees! Beautiful way to help wildlife!
We definitely need some detailed drone footage!! So much has happened in the last 2wks!! Well the last year but so much and it's exciting.
Laura I'm looking forward to seeing your new land evolve and also to see the kids grow older as well as you and Erin, your like a family away from family :) gods blessings to you all.
P.s. if ever possible it would be cool to see a video of you and your sis to
Those are pretty trees! They are going to be beautiful in their new homes! Your gardening canvas is getting more color & going to be beautiful!! 😍🌳🌳🌳🌳🖌❤🤍💚🧡💛
The shape of the sumac trunks is already so pretty! Hoping that will last through the years, but I understand your desire for low maintenance in that space. This area is definitely a lesson in patience and planning. Very inspiring. 💚
Thanks so much for adjusting the volume of the music. Much better
I love how your new land is coming together. Always enjoy the videos!
Laura, I admire your vision! I’m excited to see updates.
I love these shrub choices. I currently have both on my property and they are just wonderful. The Tiger Eye Sumac is such a gorgeous plant. While it does send up little suckers every year, I find them easier to pop out of the ground than most weeds. Thank you for always providing such great content!
Love how the Elderberries really do look like Japanese maples! I use them in my garden for that same reason! Can't wait to see the fall colour on the Sumacs!
I was really worries when we moved to Poland I may not be able to watch for a bit until we got our cell phone situation figured out. I am happy that is not the case! Best show ever!
I was so excited about this sumac, that I went out immediately( I mean literally!) and bought two. I have native sumac that I’ve pretty much eliminated, but I must confess, I miss their fall color. I know how to control sumacs better now, and this variety will be a wonderful addition. Thank you!
When I read the title and saw Sumac I immediately thought “OH NO!!!! Why why why would you want them. Don’t do it!!” ... but then heard you say they are less aggressive spreader. I 🤞🏻🤞🏻 you are correct! I have no reason to doubt your expertise but my yard had the older species of Sumac and we removed them all a couple of years ago. We still have Sumac that pops up all over the yard and flower bed. I just can’t get rid of it!!! Prior to removing them, I agree, they had a gorgeous fall display and come spring the robins here in WI would eat the left over fermented berries. Watching them fly around drunk really was another show. 😆 None the less they are my nemesis!!
Good morning, Laura ☕️ Those Elderberries are going to be a show stopper! Honestly, the only Sumac I’ve ever heard of is Poison Sumac so that little tree 🌳 is a delight! 😍 I can see your vision and can’t wait to see what happens next! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
you are my inspiration Laura. you look so fresh so beautiful n stunningly lively.I'm in love with your speaking style and your enthusiasm .Love from Pakistan
Swooning over the Sumacs... I'd have to have 3 clumps of 3. So so classy and perfect leaves for beauty of rustling in the wind!
Oh how I wish you were my neighbor !! So much beauty to see!! 💕💕
Those roses are just breath taking!
The title included the word 'planting sumac' and my immediate thought was, "Why in the world would you actually plant sumac?" I have been battling sumac invaders from a neighbor's yard for years! With Sumac on one side of my yard and Virginia Creeper invaders on the other it's a constant battle!
The footage through the roses!!! Nice!
Thank you for taking us on this journey. It is "so much fun" for us also. Can't wait to watch it grow with you. I love my Tiger Eye Sumac! The suckers have turned into quite a nice little area of my garden. If you could give us advice how to share the new ones with friends I would love to...when I dig us they die in pot.
I bought a tiger eye on clearance and i did not plant it for almost a yr.. I finally got it in this spring. It also has a tree shape already. I’m really glad you are giving so much more info. I can’t wait to see it in the fall! Thank you!
