Love the idea of a yearly, best-performing plant awards! Best 3 annuals, best 3 perennials, best 3 shrubs of the year, etc. And why...
Flower Superlatives!

The GA Awards! Yes! 👏🏼
Love this!!! Maybe best tree too!
I AM SO HAPPY THAT AARON GOT MORE COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF CAMERA. I love you two together
I love the Sunday Morning recap and the way you and Aaron have conversations about everything. You two are so sweet together. Thank you so much. xo
Okay Aaron, it's time to write a children's book about "Two Raccoons and a Fox", using your property and having Laura illustrate it. The children in the story are Benjamin and Samantha Grace. I can totally see this being a big seller! Definitely start a series of stories, with parts played by your family members, too.
That would be great. A series on how to plant with animal friends.
I would buy this!!!
And have tea parties in the Hartley💗
I agree I think a series of books written for children and gardening is a great 👍🏼 idea
Omg yes! What a lovely idea!
There was a older man in the area when I was growing up, he planted daffodils on the sides of several hills along the highway in the shape of a smilie faces. They have naturalized so beautifully and still going strong nearly 25 years later. It's so fun to see them every spring, makes me laugh and smile!
This is so lovely! There is a small group of people who do that in my area as well. It’s such a treat every spring.
OMG I love Aaron’s description of being the guardian, that is my husband. What a lovely description of the well thought out person! I am very much like Laura so I have my own guardian.🥰
Loved the book. So helpful in my ability to communicate why i am doing what I am doing. The 5 Voices. It is on Kindle.
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️ Just wanted to let you both know how much I look forward to, and enjoy both your channels. I start every day off with a cup of coffee, ready for 7:00 AM to get my “Laura fix”. You have taught and inspired me so much with my own yard, i feel compelled to thank you immensely from the bottom of my heart! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Hello our grass in coastal Central Florida stays green all winter and my husband generally mows the end of October/November and then not till our next Spring mid February to early March. While you will get grass I doubt you will have to mow if your grass grows like Florida winter grass.
First of all I cannot thank you enough for my education, motivation and entertainment throughout 2020 to present. My family is well aware of my new friend “Laura.” My husband has urged me to share our winterized fountain with you. I agree the sight of a tarp covering my fountain/centerpiece is an eyesore and downright depressing. We went to a plastic shop (Tap Plastics) and gave them our dimensions including the holes in the center. We then put burlap inside and some matching weatherstripping where it rests on the fountain. My view from the kitchen has been restored throughout the winter. This is our second winter with this contraption and as we uncovered it last spring it was dry inside. I hope this might help you. Ugh… 😮 I guess I can’t attach a photo? I hope my description helps.
I think this may be the most informative and entertaining gardening channel on TH-cam.
Years ago, I saw a video on English gardening. In order to mow in between boxwood labyrinths, they used the smallest push mower I've ever seen, maybe 12 inches or less.Too cute! There is indeed a tool for everything, even Benjamin's lawn.
I love how glam Laura looks this morning! Then she flashes her dirt filled hands.. You can take the girl out of the garden but ya can’t take the GARDEN out of the Girl.. HAHAHAHAHA 😂🥰
Random question… how is the 200 year old Christmas Cactus doing after you repotted it?
" Preparedness is the ultimate confidence builder. " ~ Vince Lombardi
Perennial vinca is very foliage heavy as you mentioned but I believe the comment said annual vinca which is quite different and very colorful. I grew it for the first time this summer and was pleasantly surprised. It's like a much more versatile impatient.
Yes I agree! It is very colorful and one that deserves the “best annual flower of the year” award here in North Texas, zone 8.
I was just coming to comment on that. I often wonder why she doesn’t use more lantana or scaevola too.
Yes! Vinca flowers vs the green vinca ground cover with the small blue flowers…gets confusing!
I was just commenting on that. Vincas are my go to annual in our very hot, dry Central Valley of California. I'm in zone 9 and my Vincas often over winter, and I have full size, blooming plants by early May when the nurseries don't seem to get Vincas in until around late June. You can put cuttings in water and they will sprout. I've got about 50 plantlets that I am experimenting with over wintering inside my house.
Yes, thank you Eric.... the fuchsia, pink and white blooms last all season.
Oh I LIKE the idea of the new name ‘Balcony Garden’. I have a difficult time remembering where each garden is but I knows where you balcony is and that helps tremendously!!! 😊
If they posted a map it would be so nice right!
@@alw5101 That’s the main reason I would like to go to a garden tour, just to get my bearings.
I love the balcony garden! It doesn’t have to be symmetrical and a little wonky is charming!
Laura and Aaron, when you do consider changing that space, I’m confident you will create the space you like while designing it around the asymmetrical elements and the septic tank. Gardens don’t have to be symmetrical.
Not me over here watching the highlights waiting for Laura to read my question like a kid waiting for their name to be called on Romper Room! ;-)
My husband is very much like Aaron and I call him "The Dream Killer" often. 😂.
Here in England we call high tunnels 'poly tunnels' and the Hartley a 'greenhouse.
Off topic, after 40+ years of growing snake plants, I think I have around thirty currently, one is blooming. I found it yesterday. I've never had one happy enough to bloom. I'm so excited and happy that I've finally made one happy. Yay 🤗
Congratulations!
@@Ibis333 , Thank you 😊
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!🌞🌻🌞
We ALL have bulbs to plant, and we need your continued bulb planting videos for encouragement!!! Love all of your videos.
Love the idea of the "GAAs"! Garden Answer Awards! I want to take the opportunity to THANK YOU both so much for all of your hard work on the daily. I am inspired as a gardener but also inspired seeing a hardworking couple raising their kids, and living the dream of working for yourself. Perhaps on this channel you could do a tutorial on how you plan your spaces on graph paper? Seeing it come to life from your drawn design is just magical to me! Love y'all all the way from central Kentucky!
I was strangely satisfied when you cut down that cherry tree!😄 I’ll take a tree down in a minute if it’s not working for me!
I’m with you Laura, weeping trees like that cherry look odd in a landscape. To my eye, they don’t meld with most surroundings very well, and instead of complimenting gardens, they seem to stand out in a visually awkward way.
Good morning Laura and Aaron! Such good conversation this morning! I will be listening for you to say the balcony garden in future videos 😄. You guys are a great team both in the garden and in life. Hugs from N.C ..❤️
Oh Laura, I loved your “ lalala” when you don’t want to listen to Aaron. Made me laugh. 😂
you don't need to show us you planting the tulips. We'll know and just look forward to seeing the flower show in the spring
I enjoy your honesty with your plants. Where you did something great and when there were issues. Top performers for ground and for pots would be great!
Burn piles are fabulous on New Year's Eve especially if the ground is covered in snow! Marshmallows, hot chocolate, adult beverage of choice are great accompaniments!!!
Your my all time favorite gardeners I also pray blessings upon your family and have a vision that very impressive for your future in and around your home and business! Keep on keeping on!!!
Yes, please please do a video of your plants of the year! I would love that!
Awesome! Everything coming along. Love that it is not “perfectly” perfect!
Yes have a yearly award for the best plant/flower. Benjamin is so smart he is learning a lot from both of you which he will be a big help as he gets older…mowing the yard 👍
I Love Casey Laurence and her Mother and Sisters! They are uber talented and have a unique way of planting 🌻🌱
They sell moisture meters to check the soil of your plants. It has prongs that you stick down in the soil that doesn't hurt the plant, and it tells the moisture level. It's one of the best things I have bought and use.
Yes! I just bought one for my indoor plants (I have A LOT:). I tend to overwater & the moisture meter has most definitely been a game changer! Hopefully I will be able to keep all of my plants alive during these winter months.
That’s a great idea!! I keep forgetting to get one of those!
Thanks for sharing.
Good morning GA family!
Whattttt Nooooo WE NEED VIDEOS OF EVERYTHING ❤️ God Bless you and Your Beautiful Family!
the hurricane is a hard one - it all depends on the water coming in. My daughter's building lost all their doors, and" big" cement fixtures when the water came through Naples. The water washed away all but the metal supports and cement under one side of their building. it was fascinating - you could see right under the building.
Absolutely amazing
Laura your plant's behind you are looking beautiful as alway's!!
Good morning. Love your weekly summaries! This has been wild werk!
Good recap. I like you "Laura and Aaron" plant of the year awards. Have a wonderful week everyone
Loved this week’s videos! We’ve had so much snow and cold weather (Alberta, Canada) that it’s nice to see gardening activities!
Greetings, Laura and Aaron from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
I like the balcony garden! Sounds perfect!
Take the hedge-trimmer to mow the indoor grass. I've done it and it works.
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
You totally should have your “of the year” picks! ❤❤❤❤
This is why you two make a good couple!
I like the bulb videos!!
Thanks for another great recap!
I love the idea of the Garden Answer Plant of the Year Awards!!!!!
I just love the recaps. The information that you add to the subjects of the videos are so worth the cost of admission. Thank you so much. I really appreciate the hard work, the knowledge and contribution that you and Aaron add is outstanding. ❤
Turtleneck looks good! 🌸
Thank you for explaining high tunnel.
Living in hurricane 🌀 country, Gulf Coast, AL, it really depends on the category and the position of your house. Honestly, anything outside was the least of my worries. When you are worried about your roof blowing off, urns and statues are on their own.
Woohoo you answered my question!!!! Thanks 🙏❤️👍
Love your recap videos!!! You can use grass shears to “mow” your little plot of grass or even a hand mower
Good morning 314 am here.Since you were expecting snow, they posted the time you got a big dumping of snow like 14”. I was amazed that you got so much snow so early and more than us in Alaska! I responded but sure am glad it was a different time!
I think the weeping cherry was in an area that was to busy and it looked sad lol. Yes the begonias were amazing 🤩 love your channel 🥰🌶❤️🌶
Hi Laura and Aaron! I agree with a LOT of other commenters to name the Versailles Garden the Persephone Garden. It makes more sense than the balcony garden since you have the Persephone statue there and we rarely see the balcony. IMO. I would leave that garden as is, too. It's interesting. Thank you so much for sharing!
I love the compliment you to our to each other!❤
Excuse this comment if someone already suggested it, but instead of using paint to mark a stopping point on a drill or auger, use colored painters tape. Wrap the tape around the shaft at the proper spot to mark the depth you want. It’s easy to see from above and easy to pull off and replace at a different depth for different types of bulbs.
Great Recap video
For the lady in Mississippi, there is a nursery in TN that had pawpaws and black birch. The bark was used for wintergreen flavoring.
Love the new name Balcony Garden! What a great video of the fox and the raccoons!
You mow by hand....LOLOLOL.... both of you ... what a good team!!!
I LOVE how REAL you are. You always seem like a Perfect Couple. It is nice to hear that you also argue just like the rest of us. Love the Videos too.
Yes, I cut down a weeping cherry. They just send out crazy shoots and for all of your reasons I just needed to get it out of the landscape. We don’t have a lot of area and I needed something more pleasant. Love your gardens.
Y’all are so cute…. Love your conversations and how you both compliment each other in your own way! God made a good match with you two…. and thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of all things outside ❤
I loved the weeping cherry. I thought it was really pretty
Good mid morning. In the low 20's this morning in northeastern Oklahoma. Love the Sunday recap. You and Aaron are so cute together. Go together like peas and carrots.❤️
Now we’ll have snow tomorrow , it’s Oklahoma for sure
Love the indoor lawn, time to break out those automatic lawn mowers, and hand trim the corners!😂 can’t wait to see how you tackle it!
The balcony garden formally known as the Versatile garden is beautiful. A small amount of repair it would be back in its glory. That space is perfect. You can have more than 1 beautiful space.
U could use grass clippers on greenhouse lawn and bag it for compost. Watch and enjoy u guys everyday!
Amen to begonias…….been planting those for years……my go to annual. Weeping cherry…….you are so right……this tree can make you weep.
I agree begonias are awesome. I grow the small ones in a 3 tier planter on my porch and they do wonderful. I also do some others in the semi shade. Easy care. I'm thinking of doing mostly begonias next yr.. I do annual vinca too. They are great easy care too. And not much of a bug problem.
Yes! I am all in for the flower awards by Laura and Aaron!
My brother in law up here in Canada ,had a fountain in his yard and covered it for the winter..he wrapped it with Christmas lights and at night it looked like a Christmas tree...very pretty
I love watching these recaps while having my coffee--great way to start a productive Sunday! Stay warm! :)
PS--I love the idea of Best/Worst/etc. awards each year! For my money, I want a long awards list: best veg. production, best flower production, best foliage, best all-around annual, best all-around perennial, best shady diva, biggest disappointment, etc. etc.
I have 3 casading vinca plants and they bloomed all summer. I brought them inside and a very pretty white one is still blooming.
Looked for info about expect what cement drill you are using. Please share. Thanks. LOVE seeing Aaron featured along with you. You two are make a great team.
Yes yes yes...I'm here for any best of awards videos. That would be fun! I'll pretty much watch anything you guys put out anyhoo lol😍
Good morning from Delaware GA friends.
I agree with the Begonias being annual of the year, around here they are my go to for all my large containers
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Love all the videos. The Hartley is more of a cottage shape.
I think Portico Garden would be nice because you use and decorate your portico regularly, more so than the balcony. Love your channel!
Great idea and reasoning planting Daffodils around daylilies. Maybe if it warms back up here I can give it a try.
Love the idea of your own awards!
Agree 100% Surefire begonia is my favorite annual for zone 6b!! So hardy and blooms and blooms! In ground or pots!!! My second year growing it and next year I will buy double of them! My friends can’t believe how big they are for a begonia! Beats all the others!! Love proven winners!!
Hi Laura & Aaron! For the grass you have growing inside the green house - do you still have the robot mower? Can you use that to mow the grass?
An old time push mover would be perfect
That’s a great idea!! Perfect size!
I'm a fan of Garden Answer Annual of the Year 👍
Surefire rose begonia is amazing. Mine looked good until this past week’s cold here in zone 5b Chicago suburbs. 💕
I'm with Laura on the weeping cherry. I happen to love the look so got 3 snow fountain weeping cherry trees to put in a planting strip between my driveway and my neighbors. I was constantly having to cut off the wayward branches and the ones that were too long. Then, they put out side branches from the cut that went every which way. It was impossible to maintain the shape and a constant battle. I am not an expert pruner so could have contributed to the mess, but I just don't need that much grief in my life.
I give an "annual of the year" award to something new I have planted each year. In 2022, it was lemon coral sedum!! I planted it in different locations throughout my yard to give some uniformity and it did so well. The color makes for a striking pop among other annuals and perennials
How about using your hedge trimmer to mow the lawn in the greenhouse. Or even garden shears, by hand. Its a pretty small space!
I have a small push mower..no gas, that would work to pickup and put on your little box lawn. Got it on Amazon around 100$
Mowing the indoor grass sounds like a job for good old fashion push mower or maybe even hedge trimmers. My husband and I are just like you guys but I'm the one who over thinks a project and he's the one who charges ahead full steam.
We USUALLY can't see the balcony when you're in the 'Versailles' garden... it was nice to see it in the bulb planting video. 🤔😉
I have heard the idea about a ice skating rink...I think that would be a good project!!
