Cheddar is the best....am I the only one that thought "in the jungle the mighty jungle" as he walkes through the plants 🪴
Lol....
😂 he really is so cute! Both Russell and Cheddar are awesome kitties 🐱
I thought he was saying “forget the plants mom , I’m more beautiful walking through the plants!”
@@candicespencer2021 Totally! 😂
I think the hosta bed will be Chedder's. New playground and nap station
Lol! I think Cheddar thinks he's a lion in a jungle.🌳🌴🌿 🐈🌿🌴🌳

Another cheddar mention!
Cheddar is soooo adorable. You can see how much he loves you.
Cheddar says he’s coming to help you! You called him after all.
Comin' to ya Mom. Its tough going though
I babysat my grands this morning. I'm used to watching you on my computer screen at my house but this morning at my grands they put you on their tv. I had to tell you Laura that you and your garden are both stunning on a 70 plus inch screen !! Wow !!
Oh, nice! I'd love to see these videos on a big screen like that.
@@nspector It was fabulous ! Now my screen , which I normally love, seems ''not quite enough''😂😂
HAHA love the tiger (Chedder) walking through the jungle. 😄🐅😍
It would be such a dream to have so much land to play with!!!
Loved cheddar’s little tail jiggle when Mom spoke.
Cheddar was so cute stalking through the plants. I love the pop of the purple heucheras. I think it adds just enough color to hilight all the green.
I can’t say why … but I love the sound of the gator rolling over the gravel. ☺️ Just me?
I like it too!
It isn't just you! Look up what ASMR is.
Yes!
I was thinking the same thing!
Good Saturday Morning Laura & Gardening Friends! Oh My Goodness... Cheddar’s Peek A Boo 🐈 appearance was so sweet!!! I spy some alliums in the background and they look like mine right now. Im going to be planting some hostas soon, so this was perfect! Enjoy your weekend friend!
You sure have a 'forever job" just planting new area.
Happy Saturday Garden Friends
🌿🌺💚🌺🌿
Happy gardening to you and hi from Tasmania Australia, winter here so not to much happening in my garden!
@@barbaragoss6177 Hi Barbara, I'm in Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
We are very hot and humid in our area. Garden Answer is the whole way on the other side of the USA 🇺🇸
She suffer with higher temps, but desert air while we are dripping witj moisture.
How cold does it get where you live?
We get snow mainly in the hills and heavy frosts where we live on the coast. Tasmania is very beautiful and very much like the U.K !Happy gardening!
@@barbaragoss6177 Sounds lovely Barbara. I have Garden Groupies in the UK and would love to visit someday.
I totally agree with Laura's desire to expand the garden beyond the strip at the fence. At our New Orleans house,, my husband looked at the backyard and asked, "Didn't we use to have grass back here?" I had planted a courtyard garden and, instead of grass, had a small ciircle of pine straw mulch for lawn chairs. Everything else was planted with roses, a lemon tree, some Japanese maples azaleas, etc. He hadn't noticed because he was plugged into his computer and music system.
Cheddar the "Jungle Cat" LOL - so cute...love HOSTAS! need more in my yard. :)
Did anyone else think of Shrek when she said the Empress Wu Hosta was the biggest “in the land” 🤣🌿👑
Love watching you everyday. Thanks for sharing your love of gardening with all of us 💗
I have always loved that area, the plants look great there, I really like the red on the ends. Cheddar didn't waste any time getting to you once you acknowledged him...lol
Wow the excitement in your voice on being able to plant today was so infectious Laura! I know that the heat has been unbearable for you and so many so this was a treat. It motivated me to get off my duff and tackle some projects now. THANKS!!😄😅😅
LOVE the different varieties of hostas.. can’t wait to see an update as they grow!! 🍃
☕️Good morning to all - it’s ‘coffee with Laura’ time! So great to see the beauty of the property expanding every day. Enjoy a lovely weekend everyone. Thank you Laura 🪴🌿💚🥰
Look at that handsome garden helper!! Lol!
I call it controlled overgrowth. 😍🌺
It was 8pm when I started watching this video and I had to pause to go plant about 14 plants in my yard. You inspire me 😁
This new camera is definitely my favorite. Nice, wide view to be able to take in the whole garden while you’re explaining the projects. Sharp picture and bright colors! Love it!
Can we just take a minute to acknowledge all of these camera angles?! Laura, I know this made your project 5x longer and you do it anyways. Your dedication to video quality doesn’t go unnoticed! You and Aaron (and Ken!) do an amazing job at making educational and visually appealing videos. Thank you for all your hard work! ❤️ much love from Louisiana!
"Please tell me that I'm not the only one who struggles with that ? " 🤣🤣🤣
BEST GARDEN SHOW EVER! We absolutely LOVE 🧡 YOU!!
Cheddar's cameo was perfect! Love what you planted. Hostas are one of my favorites.
I want to go "shopping" in your hoop houses for such a beautiful selection of Hosta. Although I am not really fond of the blooms, the pollinators love them. Mine are covered with bees so I don't have the heart to cut them. I am so envious that when you have the desire to plant, you can access your large inventory.
Happy weekend y’all! I have developed a real appreciation for hostas over the years because of Laura. Thanks!
... I want one of every leaf combination!... 👩🌾💚🙏=^..^=
I love hostas! I have a big blue one that is 4ft tall and 6ft across.🤗
I love your garden! It is so nice to see a garden that would not look out of place here in England.
Hostas are so much more forgiving than people realise. A few years ago I decided my over large self seeded sycamore (basically a weed here) had to go. The tree surgeons worked in December, and trampled the area of my hostas to a similar consistency to concrete. Despite this, the hostas sent up shoots in the spring and put on their best show that year, despite having lost their shade.
This year has been rather "moist" even for England, and they have produced the biggest leaves ever. They grow through a dense ground cover of geranium which shades their roots and prevents drying out and slug attacks.
Looks like you have some cat nap in that mix of beautiful plants!!!
That area would be perfect to set up croquet and play family games when Benjamin and Samantha get older.
Ya with a trampoline and big colorballs and sprinklers and a playhouse with picnic table
Thanks Laura, I was laying in bed last night, thinking how to get my shade garden to shine, am half there
It’s so satisfying to watch gardening tasks in fast forward.
What a wonderful Saturday morning treat before I head out into my own yard. Oh the things I could do with those hastas! They are just so dang expensive but I will be getting some Empress Wu Hosta at some point. Anyone else just love shade gardening?
Find someone who has one and ask them for a clump when it comes time to divide theirs.
I have a hosta garden in a strip on the north side of my garage with crushed rock path adjacent to it.
I enjoy playing off the myriad of hosta leaf colors and textures and punctuating with other perennials and annuals. I love the look of 'Sweet Tea' heucherella nestled with the bold 'Guacamole' hosta (or is it 'Stained Glass'?), finely textured rue anemone and begonias. But thistles keep ruining the show. Ugh!
I planted 'Empress Wu' a couple years ago. It's taking it's sweet time getting as big as the tag shows, but then Laura advised us they grow in relation to the amount of water they get and my hose doesn't really make it to that end of my garden.
Laura, what a PERFECT video on a Saturday morning!! Cheddar was so cute in his appearance. I love the format seeing you do all the work and then discussing what you did and why. LOVE the plants and YES I pack them in too knowing that I'll pay for it later :) Thank you for another motivating video!!
I love bergenia - both the pink flowered and white flowered version.
My grandmother used to call them "Stone rhubarb" and it was the only name I knew them of, so the first time I was going to buy from a nursery they had no idea what plant I meant xD
Love this. I have water oaks and they have so many roots that I can't even dig without hitting roots.
It's also called 'Pig Squeak."
Thank you for posting videos, I absolutely love watching them all. I really do love the maintenance videos, they are very calming and peaceful to watch. I just watched the recap video and that glass of tea looked so good🤣 but it's only 6:45 am when I was watching that video. I've never tried having a garden but you've inspired me to start a small one. Now I think I've got so many in pots😂 I go to Lowe's and think oh I need that, oh that's pretty, oh that's a good price. 🤣🤣🤣
Aww its so nice to see cheddar miss him and Russell playing together..
Cheddar is like hi mom its my turn to shine....lol.
No laura your not alone I struggle all the time if i.pack it full will it look ok or not ...
Ha ha ha! Cheddar was playing “Jungle Kitty”! 😂
Your answer to problems sounds like me.... “really need to expand this flower bed”😂😂😂😂
It’s every gardeners problem 😂 there’s never enough space 😂
Perfect spot for a playground for the children.
I wonder if they didn't spend much time in that area because it was originally the only section with neighbors.
Now, the other side is filled with neighbors.
Could be why they purchased the new property as a buffer from encroaching neighbors.
Now this side seems, relatively, the most isolated from others.
Girl, you have a green thumb!💚👍🏻Oh my goodness! I have learned so much from you...Your gardens are just beautiful->it should be showcased in a garden magazine or Country Living.💚💚
I have not heard of Bergenia before, so thank you for introducing me to a new plant! We’re having a flower bed put in on the shaded side of our house in early September and I’ve been trying to find shade loving plants that actually produce flowers too, so Bergenia is a perfect option!
It's a new one to me also but not crazy about it. If it flowered all summer, then I'd have to have it.
They were new to me this year, too. I was looking for tough, colourful foliage, evergreen if possible, shade plants and came across Bergenia in my research. Miss Piggy is nice but personally I prefer the colours of the variety I believe is called Winter Glow (although I have not planted these myself yet).
I also found a shade loving foliage plant called Mukdenia (there’s a nice one called “crimson fans” I believe) and Mukgenia which is a cross between a Mukdenia and a Bergenia, eg Mukgenia Nova Flame.
I’m in Canada (not sure where you are) so this website may not ship to you but just as a research tool to find unusual plants, I’ve been using a site called Phoenix Perennials. He sources rarer plants. Never ordered from him so can’t attest to quality (plants seem expensive for the size) but it sure was a useful resource to find new plants I had never thought of before. Happy planting!!! 🌱
@@persephonespomegranate I am on BC. I do pre-orders of hydrangea from Phoenix Perennials, to get the variety I want. This year they were smaller, but all Proven winners in the white pots. Not potbound, just healthy. Last year I also bought a few peonies there as well.
@@persephonespomegranate I’m in Ontario (TO 6a/6b); I’ve never ordered online preferring to “rush” to the local nursery to see what I can score! 🤣 I tried a couple of Bergenias a few years ago thinking they’d be perfect for a moist shady area but they struggled mightily from the start; I gave them everything I could think of but they eventually fizzled out … I didn’t even have to dig them out; I couldn’t find them anywhere. 🤪🤪
Another name for it is "Pig Squeak." Rubbing the leaves together does produce a squeaking sound. 🐷
Mine has spread quite a bit. I thinned it out several years ago and left some pieces sitting on some dirt-filled gravel and that is thriving. I need to divide it again.
I've always heard the pronunciation as "Brrr ghee na" (like the clarified butter) not "gee" as Laura says. 😊
Every project is a masterpiece 🌿
Question for Aaron probably. I noticed while watching Gardening with Creekside that they have closed captioning on their videos. Doesn’t look like GA has captions. Was wondering why as captioning is certainly helpful for the hearing impaired as well as some older viewers. Thanks for responding and for all you do. 🌸
When I was watching fathering autism he said it’s like $600 a month is why they stopped. Don’t know if that’s why or not but was the answer he gave!
I believe if you wait a while the closed captioning gets added (by TH-cam?).
I've noticed that with other channels. I want to watch the video as soon as it's loaded and then I go back to watch it again the cc is there.
That makes such a difference looks beautiful..love that the sun came out. Thanks for sharing. Who wouldn’t love that
Your plant selections are lovely. And Cheddar is so charming with his adventuring through the jungle of hosta. Thanks for sharing.
😍 Another inspiring video. Loved seeing sweet Cheddar get in on the family business. I know he is usually a behind the scenes kind of guy, but seeing him supervising inspecting the plants and getting some loves. What a cutie! 💕😘🤗
What type of auger is that you use?!?
Everything you do is just perfection! I wish I had a larger garden and an area in which to use a variety of hostas! I grew up with Bergenia, my mom loved them, so I always thought they were such ordinary plants. In recent years I have gained a new appreciation for them and now would like some in my own garden. The ones you planted look beautiful! Here in California they do attract slugs and snails. Nice that you don’t deal with that very much! I so love this channel and you are so inspirational! Thank you!
Yes! Hostas in my CA garden were pretty for about a week. Then, like you, lost them to slugs. No ammount of Sluggo kept them away.
Now I am in Tennessee and have all I want! Laura has inspired me to experiment with more plants.
Love all the colors and textures of the Hosta you choose for this space. You also gave me a great start on what I can put in my shadier areas of the yard....
Just so pretty and if you do expand the garden the hostas will make a beautiful background to what ever you may add in the future.
Laura, you are a force to be reckoned with! Love your amazing work ethic. Nothing slows you down. I hope young gardeners find your channel for inspiration and a great example.
We've been watching for almost a year, and just subscribed this morning. I wanted to tell you how entertaining and informative your channel is. I appreciate your lack of expletives! We live in the North Okanagan Valley in southern British Columbia, and are a zone 5 so many of your plant choices are great for us. Thank you for the great coverage of each plant regarding zone, climate, ph, blooming season, water requirements etc. And thanks to Aaron for the behind the scenes work. Love your son and cats too! Looking forward to meeting Charlotte.
Laura this is my favorite type of video. I’m all about landscaping, yard and all the different areas around a home. Can’t get enough of trees, shrubs, flowers. Usually skip most of the veggie stuff because I do not have the right conditions or the interest, except for a couple of tomato plants. I will be so excited to see all the new landscaping around the Hartley and new lawn area! Love, love large beautiful lawns with trees❤️I can see those babies playing there.
Loved seeing the breeze coming through knowing how hot the temps have been for you guys out west!
I have a dedicated hosta bed in a similar narrow bed on my property. I love it. Extremely low maintenance one of my favorite beds. With the different textures and all the hostas bloom at different times. So gorgeous. Thank you for showing the Miss Piggy. Never heard of that plant before.
Hostas are one of my absolute favourites! I love the variety in colours and sizes. And they do so well in pots. I have a a shady patio, and I have so many Hostas in pots out there, with a few blooming annuals mixed in - it looks gorgeous
Would love to see this. I'm gonna try this next year
I'm glad you mentioned the irises. I've noticed that in garden tours and wondered if they bloom with hardly any sun . I love shade plantings... they're so peaceful and calming!😃
Beautiful area it looks so good but can we talk about how good the allium blooms still look even dried out. 😍
Hi Laura, all your videos make my day happier ❤️👍🏼🌿
I just love these videos! I never considered myself a gardener but watching and listening to Laura is so informational and inspiring! I started with a few containers and have created a couple beds and a small shade garden (complete with a pallet path thanks to Laura.) I'm looking forward to learning more and building an outdoor oasis I never thought was possible before! Thank you Laura! 🤗💐🦋
I absolutely love cheddar climbing through the plants ❤️❤️
Sweet Cheddar thought Laura was calling him when she said hi to him and he braved all those big plants to get to her...what a special boy !
Love the hostas around the tree with the lighter colors in back....looks so pretty
This part of your garden looks so peaceful. Thanks for all the design tips!
I absolutely love vistas! You have a wonderful selection. I can’t wait for the update next spring😊
Wow! Look at that impact. You have a gift, lady.
Thanks for sharing! I need more Hostas. I love them. Cheddar is precious.❤️
That area looks so much better. So pretty! I'm glad you're working in that area. I think it's so pretty back there and so peaceful. I'm with you on expanding the flowerbeds. Just imagine how much more color and textures you can pack in there! Emm... beautiful!
It’s more than beautiful 😻
I love shade gardens so much. Wish I had more of them in my garden! The hostas look beautiful! 😍💚
oh, that's going to be sooo pretty!! and expanding those beds and maybe making a seating area out there under the tree canopies will be a great place to go sit and read a book (let me start packing, k? i got dibs!) i love hostas so i get to see them vicariously through you.. i think there is one variety we can grow down here, so i need to get my hands on some! great day's work!! time for ice tea and relaxing (as much as a new mom with a 3 year old can relax!)... 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video!! 🙂 ❤
All that green REALLY cools the area and looks so beautiful! Having a larger bed will provide a big variety of conditions in one bed to work around and Help Us do the same. Looking forward to that!
What a cute pot and stand perfect paint colors and plants and a great spot in the garden a very productive day. Benjamin is quite the helper isn’t he so cute. ❤️👍
Cheddar looked like in was walking through a forest with all the green big leaves. Love what you did today with all the hosta so beautiful fill it just nicely. I like that area so lovely. Beautiful tree.
Never seen the Miss Piggy! New favorite! I needed the encouragement about narrow beds. I can always widen and extend them. Thanks for inspiring me with small improvements that make a wonderful garden.
Love your planting of hostas with all the different shades of green. That area is just perfect for them.🥰
Gotta love Cheddar! Such a sweet and curious little guy!🐈🧡
Oh this is such a pretty improvement in this area. The pop of the purple/red alongside the hostas!👌👌👌
I do not understand how you manage to stay so cool looking, and beautiful while working in your gardens. My gardens are nothing in comparison to yours, in size or maintenence. By the end of a few hours, I am a gross, sweaty, dirty mess when I am done. I must wear tennis shoes, sleeveless tops, shorts, sunglasses and a garden hat, in early morning hours before noon. Live in Illinois, along the border of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, zone 6b. The Mississippi River borders our town flanked by rock cliffs. We have horrible humidity. Anyway, you look fresh, cool and put together even wearing 3/4 sleeves, jeans and sometimes a vest. I would keel over from heat exhausttion! Admire your energy, knowledge, preserverance, follow ups and inspiration. Thank you for making it look so easy, but I in fact know that it is darn hard work and you are remarkable!!
💚 with envy’s! Beautiful
Love how you are getting some of your areas around the perimeter of the house buttoned up a bit with perennials. This project was lovely and improved the area so nicely. Bravo Laura!
Not the only one! I am constantly shuffling hosts around. Dividing, moving, but gotta love em 💖
It looks great and next year will be even better! I'm also adding hostas and the like in a neglected shade garden while it's so hot. It's great having those shady areas to work on in those hottest days of summer.
Never really paid much attention to Hostas until discovering your channel ( back when you were at the old house!) I always felt like they were “Shade Defaults”, however they are really stately (when used em mass).
Thank you for the continued inspiration. I appreciate them so much more!
Me with my checkerboard Heucheras saying, “What you talking about!?” 😂😂 I also love my Curly Fries hostas. They have a narrower leaf than the Whee & look so amazing with the broader leaf hostas.
These hostas will fill in so quickly. I always enjoy seeing how to plan a shade bed with sunny spots.
“The biggest known hosta . . . In the land!” I love it 🥰.
...they are!...Empress Wu's get as big as a shrub! 👩🌾💚 =^..^=
(... I'd love to have one but there's absolutely no room!...) 🤷😭👩🌾💚 =^..^=
Cheddar needs his own page; maybe his own merchandise (t-shirts, calendars, etc...). I'm thinking a Cheddar photo shoot in the different areas of the garden for each season. Love him!
Wow beautiful garden
Nice leafy plants
Cheddar rocks!
I started watching as a therapy session as I have 0 shade in n new garden ATM ( it's a work in progress) and I am rewarded with awesome cheddar.
Laura, my mom has a flower bed at the end of her driveway, and she has 2 hostas and they are massive. They are in FULL SUN all day long! It blows my mind how big and beautiful they are. I wished I could send you a photo of them! Cheddar's looks like a jungle kitty, to cute!
Thanks helping a sister plant under 2 maples and a river birch we planted for my husband who passed away early 2020 so go out and sit by the birch all the time my brother in law loves hostas will look great and make a great statement the 3 trees on the front lawn of their farm .Got keep the in laws happy Matt has been a big help since Joe passed away .So lucky we have him around plus he so funny like my husband ! ALL three sister married guys so similar they all make us girls laugh ! 😀😍😂
I love this area. Love the green. I have been missing that this year. God Bless
Looks great Laura! I loved seeing Cheddar peeking too!
The different leaf structures and colors is very pleasing--calm and peaceful.
This was so satisfying! I’m watching my yard for shady areas so I can try this on a smaller scale!
I love shade plants. They make me feel cooler. 😌
Hi Laura! Loved seeing Cheddar in the video! That area was pretty before, but is so much prettier now. I love the hostas and heuchera you used. The colors compliment each other nicely and the heucheras add just the right amount of color. Thank you so much for sharing!
