I just got word that my Mom is dying and I was crying too much -- I needed to catch my breath. Watching this calmed me down. Thank you, more than you know.
❤
Bless you and your Mom. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying God gives you strength during this difficult time. Safe travels.❤
I’m so sorry you are going through this. 🙏
Sending prayers for you and your mom❤❤❤
The planters looks awesome. I think you should let Benjamin and Samantha plant a container next year. She what they’d pick out and plant!
That would steal the show for sure 🎉
I love that idea!
Yes! and Bethany, mom, and Monica. Everyone gets only one pot!
I think that idea is great. You could get them to pick out their color palette and then give the a choice of plants that would survive together. They would learn so much.
I absolutely love seeing Aaron talk about the feel and look of these containers! So fun! 😂
Ive watched for years and it’s such fun seeing Aaron come into his own! “Rubbery and touchy”… I LOVE it!!
It's not rubber obviously.😂😂
I think Aaron likes sensory plants.
The one Bubblegum in a pot was such a great budget-friendly idea! I have kind of a boring patio that just back up to the lower lever of my split level house, and when I got the idea from Aaron, I put three big pots I already owned spaced out along the back of the patio next to the house, and popped one supertunia bubblegum in each pot, and they got so big and beautiful that I could enjoy them from inside the house looking out the windows to the backyard, and it made the patio look friendly and inviting! Thanks for being willing to try something different and unconventional like one plant in one pot.
Bubblegum is an amazing plant for a large pot!
It's Friday, and there's no Laura! I don't do social media so this was the only place I could think of to ask...where are you today?
Missing you with my coffee.
Same here. No update on the community page either, which is really strange - I hope everything is OK🤞
From their Instagram yesterday: This is how we spent the first half of our week. 🥰 Mini getaway up at the lake. It was 20 degrees cooler than it was at home and we all enjoyed the down time. We spent most of the time searching out fun activities for the kids, but I also was able to squeeze in some reading time as well. 🙌 That said, we won’t have a new video up for you Friday (tomorrow), but will be back to our normal posting schedule on Monday!
@@kymridl Thank you for posting this...now I can not worry and go about my day.😊
@@PJ-uv9frno problem ❤
Loved all of the honey bees! Fun fact, honey bees will travel up to four miles to forage, and it's based on the quality of the nectar and pollen, not the distance. I keep about 10 hives of my own and it's amazing to see what the bees prefer flower-wise different times of the year. You two were talking about the distance bees fly a couple of videos ago, and I've been wanting to comment ❤. The bees in your yard could be feral bees in a tree someplace or from a maintained hive within a couple of miles. So much fun!
Thanks for this info !
I love this insight! Are there big turf wars between honey bees and bumblebees? I noticed more honey bees on my salvia early in the season and then bumblebees were more prominent as it got hotter.
So glad you commented! Thank you!
I went out on a limb early this spring and decided to plant hanging baskets and 30 inch pots around our town Square. I was able to get water hookups on each side and after watching your videos about the bubblegum petunias I went with those. I am so glad I did! They look great and there have been so many compliments on how much better everything looks because of the flowers. Thanks I appreciate you and your channel.
Wow what an undertaking!! Good for you!!
Tree pruning is so important..most people don't give trees the attention they need. Just that little bit of pruning improved the tree health and looks so much. Job well done.
I am sorry to bother you but I haven't had content from GA. Have you heard about the channel, Laura, Aaron and family?
When you miss an entire week of Laura’s videos, it’s a sign you have to slow down.
The upside: Garden Answer marathon for the weekend.
Or you didn't have internet for several day😭
I love that for you!
I gotta say, I really enjoy the simple one plant pots the most. The simplicity and cleanness of those pots is refreshing. The pots with the multiple plants in them are interesting looking, but they also look a little messy. Sometimes (most times 😉), simplicity is best.
Laura, I am certain your "can do" spirit is an inspiration to many. Kudos!
Laura sure has inspired me to get up and get out into the garden for cleanup, planting, etc. Even in rough weather. I'm 69 and sometimes just force myself to do one job at a time. And rest more often😂.
Laura and Aaron, I enjoyed the 10 pot tour. All of them are beautiful! The big THING that got to me is how well the locust trees are doing, especially the tree that split! Aaron you really saved that tree! I remember how heartbroken Laura was and how you worked on the cabling and pulled that tree back together. Your determination and research to do it right saved the tree! And the trees are beautiful!
Who know tree trimming was so relaxing for someone watching the progress. Everything Laura does is so amazing. Hands of gold!
Arron’s first container with the tut is my favorite. It so full and manicured looking. I think less is more and not a waste of plants.
I think all the containers turned out really good. Just seeing the kids running around watching you and Aaron cut the tree, Samatha and Benjamin are going to look back on these videos when they are grown and think what a great childhood they had. You guys are the best. Love your videos.
I'm impressed girl, those pole trimmers are heavy, hard to balance extended, and get your heart pumping. Loved seeing the containers and your honest assessment of the plant pairings... exactly what consumers need before heading to garden centers and plunking down our hard earned cash. Always love the couples "banter" with you and Aaron, we can all relate!
Great to see Aaron taking a deeper interest in the flower power lately. You all have given some great ideas for containers for full sun. Love them!
The container challenge is so fun! I love that Aaron takes chances and tries things like the rest of us would do. Laura’s container with the salvia and dusty millet is my favourite, I’m a purple girl.
Ok now I wanna plant Queen Tut with Lemon Coral Sedum! I'll just sit in a chair and pet it.😂
Lol
For everyone asking, they said on IG they will not have a Friday video but will go back to normal posting schedule on Monday. :)
The container competition looks great, some better than others! Great video! Rubbery, touchy 😂..... my favorite description of the day! I really enjoy the videos where Aaron and kids get involved! Blessings 💞🙏🏻💞
The containers are all very beautiful but I was stunned by the one with a single plant. It's lovely. The bees are having a field day. Fun project!
I just love Aaron, the way he explains things is right up my alley! The containers look amazing! I am just wondering if there is anything Laura can't do!!
It’s always such a sense of satisfaction after raising the canopy of the trees, watching you guys makes me appreciate the fact that we live on a farm and have access to our telehandler not only for loading the debris but so I can jump in it and have it raised 35’ up. Thanks for sharing your container challenge. Definitely inspiring and I’m sure many of us will be using a couple of your recipes next spring. Have a great day everyone.
I literally could see your trees actually breathing a sigh of relief as you took the excess weight off the trees. 🥰👍
I think the last container is my fav! That deep purple plant is to die for!
I think the container competition is so much fun to watch. Glad you decided to do it again this year.
I think you both did fantastic this year!! All the pots look beautiful to me. Great job!!!! I also think Aaron’s “touchy” descriptions are hilarious, probably because I would use the same type of words. 😂 Thank you both for sharing your lovely home with all of us. God bless you, your entire family and team. ~Lisa
I have to say i love the containers this year. And because Laura has a tendency to over stuff her containers and always look amazing. I think Aaron did an amazing job on his.
Until you trim the trees you don’t realize what a difference it makes. Looks very well manicured. Great job!
The Purple Fountain Grass is a beautiful plant. I planted one in a big pot one summer and It makes a beautiful statement planted all on it's own, showing it's glorious self.
Aaron has grown, too! he's definitely graduated to a gardener amongst us, and so proud of his pots as he should be! watching the two of you discuss pros and cons was just so much fun and good insight.. you do complement each other very well - as my father in law always said to hubby and myself: you make a good team (yes, we do) 🥰 that tree work was a job and a half! they do look so much better - everything is so green and lush... satisfying and hopefully you're not too sore, lol... i don't know about anyone else, but i'm ready for some fall weather, lol... 🥰❤thanks for the video! 🥰❤
Laura and Aaron, you guys get so much done in a day.🎉
Hi Guys~ The containers are impressive & an interesting lesson. I can't say a single one has totally won my heart because ALL have performed so well in different ways, as you've already pointed out. I would be thrilled having any one of them in my yard!
Pruning trees is hard work! I hope you aren't sore from the many trips up & down the ladder. It does look better now with the canopy raised. 😉👍
The container update was fun....they all sure grew! I don't know why, but I love a good tree trimming video. It inspires me to take after my trees!
Good Morning! 🌻 All the containers look good! The trees look better after pruning! 🌸🌳🌿
OMG I totally forgot about the tree with the bolt repair!! It looks like it certainly worked! The planters all look so pretty. I love when you and Aaron do this competition. As someone suggested, next year let Samantha & Benjamin put one together!
We also had major tree and hedge pruning this year and it gave the whole yard new life! I braved the hedge cutback because you do it so well❤. I learned from watching your show that I made the mistake of fertilizing my sage bushes and that’s what caused the stringing flopped over new growth..😮. And they are coming back nice and full and healthy! Thank you for your wisdom!❤
Raising the canopy of your locust trees has made all the difference in the area! It is like a breath of fresh air to be able to see all the flower beds and house standing out!
We had a tree company come and do a heavy pruning 2 years ago. They had a bucket truck so easy for them it get way up. Trees loved it, so much healthier. This year minimal pruning.
The prunning of the trees opened up the area beautifully. ❤
"It's a ball of fresh color" YAY!!
"There's my chapstick!" So many great quotes this episode!
Thank you for showing the bolted tree. That makes me so happy ❤ remembering that is a wonderful success!
Girl!! If I was pruning like that in the Nebraska heat and humidity I'd be down to a sports bra and shorts! What a difference though!😂
All the Containers are nice. Definitely prefer the 'less packed' ones.
🌳I love how trimming the trees opened up the sight lines beautifully! 🌳The container competition proved two things to me: ONE Bubblegum Vista Petunia and ONE Rockin' Playin' the Blues Salvia can more than hold their own. No need for more. And I like that on a fixed income! 👍🤑👍
I am in Utah and my garden was decimated by hail on Tuesday evening so now more than ever, I am loving all the lushness and beauty from your gardens, Laura! I wonder if you ever worry about that kind of devastation happening to your property? It was not even on my radar!
Now I’m in the process of cleanup and rebuilding, figuring out some late season things to plant and getting them in the garden.
Thankfully, my garden center has all their annuals marked down to one dollar so I can quickly add a little bit of beauty to my front pots again. You gotta look on the bright side, right?
Those trees look soo much better!!! The container project has turned out to be very interesting and informative! Good project!
Laura! The pole saw / tree work was impressive. I have a pole saw. 4 minutes in I hand it off to the adult son or my husband. You are strong girl.
Laura, it’s so fun to see you and Aaron together. I love 💕 the containers, well done again. 😂 oh my, what a major improvement starting the tree trimming! I hope we get to watch more clean up going on, as it makes a huge and beautiful change/improvement. 😂 Have a beautiful day! ❤❤❤
It’s also very inspiring! Helps to give that nudge to get out there and try it yourself!
I enjoyed the container challenge. Would love to see it a yearly thing.
Just love how all the containers are doing. Looking really beautiful. And your trees looking so much better with a trim.
When Laura said that purple fountain grass and Vista Bubblegum would make a good container, I was like "I did that!" 😂 One of each in a 50 gallon whiskey barrel planter and it looks spectacular. - in zone 5a, Iowa
Everything look satisfyingly easy when u just watch the process
I laughed when Aaron said, “Where do the bees live?” The walls of my house would be one answer. lol A few years ago we had over 30,000 in the wall of our house. We noticed when honey started leaking down the wall. We had to get a bee keeper to remove them.
The containers all look beautiful!
My favorite is rubbery touchy..lol
Just because I like the way your both named it!!!
Thank you y’all’s effort that both Aaron and Laura have...it shows it in their beautiful gardens!
Loved the containers! Queen Tut is gorgeous as well as the Niagara grass!! Beautiful combos! Loved the tree trimming! Newly retired. No more 5 am wakeups. Enjoying a slower start to day with a cup of tea and Garden Answer! Day just doesn’t seem right without you! Thanks for all you share! ❤❤❤
Congrats on your retirement! Enjoy your time!!
After watching this video I’m going to give my puny lime potato vine a stern talking to. 😂
All of the containers came out beautifully. I think my favorite though is Aaron’s Willie Wonka combo. And I’m gobsmacked that the Persian Shield looks so good. Prizes 🏆 🏆 to you both for originality!!
Im glad im not the only one that lays things down in weird spots and forget. Everything looks so beautiful
The pruning was so much fun to watch, hard work. The containers look amazing. I too also love hearing Aaron talk about the containers, his description is priceless. Haha. You guys are amazing.
I love the play in the blues, and the amethyst with all the honey bees! Such movement and of course the color.
I love the planter challenge! So fun to see how they have progressed over the summer! I planted tut grass in the pots at the mall where I work and we trim it all the time to use in flower arrangements! It is such a fun, unique foliage that gives an awesome texture to the designs!♡
It might look really nice alternating the pots doing supertunias bubblegum, and then the sweetheart, sweet potato vine having that pink and bright green alternate down the lane would look sharp
I think so too!
The trees look beautiful The trim makes the landscape even more lovely🌱👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What an amazingly beautiful view of your property! The tree clean up really looks good! If you ever have a portrait of your property done, that is the view I would love! The container competition was a success and I am always so impressed with the growth on the Supertunia Bubblegum!!! I also love the look of the purple’s with the salvia, sparkling amethyst and the Dusty Miller! Great suggestions for next year’s garden! I was wishing you had a bucket truck today!!! Watching you on the ladder had my Mom vibe, closing my eyes 👀! 😩😉
Love all your containers. ❤
I hope you continue this "competition" trend every year. It's so much more interesting than every container being the same.
i like the container contest. shows what the plants are capable of doing. i'd be happy with any one of them in my yard.
The containers look so great. I love to see how the different plants perform. The trees are looking so much better. Wonderful job!!
Wow! The bubblegum, sweet potato vine and salvia are super vigorous plants…. So impressed with their performance ❤️ Trees look great! Awesome prune job.
Wonderful video! Competition planters were all just incredible! Hot day!❤❤❤
Holy Moly, Aaron....I am just so jealous. I bought a vista bubblegum this year because your courage to only do one inspired me. Then we went on vacation for 2-1/2 weeks and the budworms had a bit of a party. Needless to say, even after cleanup and BT, mine looks a bit sad. I love the simplicity of that container!
Oh my! The purple pot. Salvia on top…Exceptionally beautiful!
Oh gosh Laura those containers are so so pretty and so many gorgeous plants potted in those. I also am so amazed at the prunning you did on those trees, I do understand when trees have branches that die and need to be cut off. Your beautiful garden area is so gorgeous to see alot. Both you and Aaron did such a great job with those trees and then cleaning everything up, those trees do look so much prettier. Thanks so much for this great video and I wish you a beautiful and blessed day to you, Aaron and your sweet children. Sending love and hugs, bye!! 🥰😘🌺🌲🪴💜💕💜💜
This video is so much fun to watch. Although seeing the progress of each of the containers is interesting, listening to the two of you react to your work is absolutely delightful.
😊
I’ve really been enjoying watching all the exciting new projects from conception and design through to execution and glorious finished project. Seeing you working on some of the regular maintenance though, that’s what inspires me! Talking through what needs to be done, watching how the work is tackled, and seeing the end result really gets me feeling motivated to get out in my yard and get busy! Gardens around the world are more beautiful every time you complete some maintenance in your garden!
I like the shade container a lot because I prefer muted colors and more definition than just blobs.
The pruning was so satisfying to watch. So much better.
hear me out one container with one sweet potato vine and one container with one pink bubblegum and tht alternating down the line would be so striking at a fraction of the cost...😍😍
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤
You guys did such a good job with the split locust tree! Thank you for giving an update on it. 🌳
Watching you up high in the sky on that ladder made my heart skip a beat. You are so strong. The array of containers in the lane is a joy to behold. Big salvia with the dusty miller is my fav. I love that dusty miller foliage color.
What a beautiful difference after pruning those trees! My husband pruned the huge fir tree in our back yard recently and I'm loving the extra light and view!
Laura’s last pot definitely wins the award for most improved! When do your trees start putting on some fall foliage? I know some areas out west start even in the beginning of September!
The planters all look great. What a difference the tree pruning made. Good job guys
The containers and trees look so good! Beautiful and airy!
I live in south Louisiana and we have oaks surrounded our two story Greek revival style home with dormer windows on top. We just bought our own man lift that moves around on its own trailer. From sunbelt in Dallas. We will be able to paint dormers, trim trees, maintain roof after hurricanes etc. we think it’s well spent money. We also have a camp here we can maintain anytime. We think in the long run we will save money! Love this channel! Ty!
Good equipment that is handy is the Best!
I love you guys having fun together the most! The plants look amazing 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Funny my husband often times wonders how I stay in shape….. my reply has always been try gardening , well this year I was down w/ surgery for the first months of the season and he pitched in and let me tell you , his words “ wow I don’t know how you do it, I know now how you stay in shape” 😂 poor guy needed a gallon of water to hydrate just to pull weeds! I’m back now not 100% but I credit gardening to my quick recovery and peace of mind❤❤❤❤ thanks Laura for unlocking a core memory 😂😂😂
Aaron & Laura…an absolute beautiful job and very inspirational, thank you
Wow. I was exhausted after watching that! You did an amazing job trimming the trees! Looks great!
I agree with Aaron about the containers. The container with just one plant looks the best. The others look disjointed and a bit distracting imo. The one plant for me is the way to go.
I can’t help but see “Wilson” when I see the vivid orchid and the grass planter! lol, and it is my favorite planter.
I just commented that it looks like a pink pineapple! I can see Wilson now too 😅
@@heyheygoz I can see the pineapple too!! 😊
Container contest: I love the purple one (#4) and the shade one (#10). Honorable mention to Aaron’s #5 because I actually like the look of just the green sweet potato vine looking so healthy, but I know he put other plants in there that are getting swallowed up.
Good morning from Delaware Garden Answer friends.
Enjoyed watching you and family work together ❤️
Laura, you have me mentally trimming trees all over my neighborhood. 😂
Gonna say 8/4/2 are my favorites! You’re right that would have been beautiful to do a burgundy grass with bubblegum!!
