    I love when we get everyone in one video... Aaron, Benjamin, Russell... You do such a beautiful job with the yard.. A dream yard!

    14:22 Wow! And I used to think Dexter was a scene stealer... Russell is a scene stealer, EXPERT level! 😻 Great video!

    When hard times hit our family it was an ENORMOUS relief to be able to go to our own local Food Pantry. Ours is run in part by our Lutheran Church, that I now attend way too often 😂 I just want to say thank you to you and your family for helping your Food Pantry!! I may not be affected by your generosity and physically but spiritually y’all are doing God’s work! Much love from Kansas!

    I've watched you for several years now It's so nice to see someone get so excited about gardening like I do my friends think I'm a weirdo but it's best weirdo to be and they do like my garden beautiful work Laura

    Since I’m from up north and now live in the south, our gardens here aren’t this lush or beautiful, I live vicariously through these videos. Yup, I’m a lil-bit addicted to this channel.
    Oh yeah, Russel is so cute!

    Honestly lura you are the reason I get so excited to garden as much as I do , you make it seem so easy and effortless and so very simple🦋💜I hope one day I’ll upgrade to a bigger garden just like yours 🌾🌿

    Your neighbors are so lucky to have a neighbor like you with such a beautiful garden. I just want to add I hope Dewalt sponsors you someday because of you and Aaron I have added a lot of the Dewalt equipment to my collection. Also two pair of Vans they are so comfy to walk and work around the garden. Such a beautiful family! 🙋🏽🌷🐱👪

    My favorite videos are following you around as you give us tips and tell us names of plants. I learn so much and get inspired to garden. Oh and I love how you say you are “thankful”. Such a lovely attitude.

  • @denisewallace3251
    @denisewallace3251 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I have embraced your perennial container planting and love it. Thanks so much for the amazing cost saving idea. Buys me a little more time to decide on the perfect place for permanent planting spots also.

  • @kathleenambrose877
    @kathleenambrose877 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    No wonder Russell is such a great cat, he has thumb toes (polydactyl for those prone to correcting). When he reached out his paw at the end, that explained everything! I've had two orange cats with extra toes and they have been great cats with big personalities. Thanks so much for the videos Laura. I'm a Master Gardener on a budget but have gotten a lot of inspiration from your videos.

  • @shirleysrussell6235

    I love starting my day by getting inspired from your videos. Thank you so much for posting so consistently! I'm anxiously waiting until I can tackle some overgrown garden beds (we are doing some interior remodelling). In the meantime, your videos keep my motivation up!

    @debrabooe901 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love the autumn frost in the containers all by themselves! I'm doing more of the simple, mono-color plantings myself this year. So peaceful and soothing. Benjamin sure takes me back to when my son was that age....and he's your and Aaron's age now! I've been planting some hellebores that a friend shared with me this week, as well as some Lily of the Valley. I love it when plants are shared like that and have some emotional ties that come with them. Always think of her when I see them and say a little prayer for her. Have a wonderful day!

    I will have to move two of the hellebores I put in this summer to a shadier spot. I can see the growth difference between the one shaded by shrubs and the two out in the sun. Can't wait to see the flowers next spring, already making a list of plants for next year. Ben is too cute for words.

  • @kyrad6543
    @kyrad6543 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for all the advice you give. We just built a house on 1/2 acre and i need to do the yard.
    We are having the sprinklers, curbing and sod done by a landscaper and i want to do the trees, flowers etc myself. So i can pick what i really want. We are in zone 5 also. So it’s fun to see what you are planting.

    @SatchPatch25 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd been meaning to tell you, the lemon coral sedum will take over! It stays rather compact in full sun but still trails everywhere! I have so much draping all of my containers that I don't even know what to do with them anymore! And I only started with a sprig of it last year lol! So many cuttings! Get prepared to give lots away! Can't wait to see the sweet potato project! I have some variety of squash growing right now so I'm curious to see if I can get away with planting sweet potatos here. Puerto Rico gets super hot! Keep up the beautiful work!🌱🍠

    We actually stir-fry the vines of sweet potato (just the newly sprouted part). They're crunchy and go pretty well with garlic and soy sauce. I don't know if the vines of your varieties are edible or not, though. :D
