Hi Laura! WOW your gardens are just Beautiful. You are really working hard in your gardens. I just can't keep up with the weeds this year. Between the rain and thehot,hot days it is hard to do anything outside. Thank you for letting us visit you for awhile and I enjoyed every minute of it. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friend.
I can totally relate with moving plants too often and them not having a chance to properly take off. It's hard for me to see things in my head, I need to see it in front of me to know it's wrong. Ha! But you give me hope that I will get to where I want eventually, and will enjoy the process along the way! Thanks for sharing your garden with us. :)
Yay for dogwoods! They are so beautiful and yet underrated. I feel the same way about birch trees. A cluster of them growing tall just makes for a great backdrop to any yard.
Yes!!! Absolutely agree on birches too. I had a multi trunk birch in the back yard that struggled so badly. I had to remove it, but boy I loved that tree.
I love all the changes to the back garden. Everything is so lush and beautiful! So happy that the dogwood is out front to show off your charming home. Love all the updates to the front. I so enjoy seeing your porch ,sidewalk, and front yard. As always you are amazing.❤
Laura, your home and gardens belong in a story book....beautiful and charming in every way possible! I love your videos and can't wait for the next one! Linda 🥰🥰
I have been watching your garden since you changed it the first time and loved it then. You were an inspiration to me then and more now that you have a vegetable garden and green house. SO very pretty I love all your choices and all your so very honest about your time and your life and I appreciate it ! Love you girl ❤
Maybe you can replace the Cat's Pajamas with a hardy groundcover like Georgia Blue Speedwell, which is mostly evergreen in zone 7B. You will get the very early blue flowers and great looking foliage the rest of the year. Almost everyone here in zone 7B north MS has Bermuda turf, and you have to get rid of it completely; no turning it over and letting it compost. It would take root and you'd never get rid of it!
Your gardens are so gorgeous! I like to move stuff if it’s not a right fit either . As I look around , I see a few things that needs to be moved in my garden this fall , or spring . Some things just get so big all at once & it sneaks up on ya ! ❤
You don’t have to explain the joy in growing garlic or any other food crop. It’s just FUN 😊. You garden looks lovely. The first glance at the beginning of the video just spoke to my heart. I’ve always loved ALL your concrete pieces in your garden, the fountains, the little rabbit 😊. All your hard work shows in the beauties of your property front and back!!
Your garden is so charming. I love cottage style gardens. Most gardens are always a work in progress. I've been working in my garden for over 30 years and it still isn't the way I would like. I revamped one of my perennial gardens a couple of years ago. We've been getting a lot of rain here too after a month's drought. I put in a koi pond about 14 years ago and I love it. Bonny zone 5b, Canada
Everything is beautiful! Love the vintage watering can and the diamond trellises on the fence…everything is so pretty❤ totally an cottage English Garden❤❤❤
I love that you’ve developed the garden on the side of the house…every bit of real estate we have matters. Where are the window boxes from? They really add the charm…your garden is full of charm and that’s what makes it so appealing. I get LOTS of ideas from you. Thank you
Beautiful garden, I especially love the design and the size of your greenhouse. I wish it was available on the market on this side of the Atlantic😅 Your boxwood hedges really add a lot of lusciousness to your garden. Also love your birdbaths, beautiful designs.
Everything looks so beautiful. I hope one day to have a garden/backyard like yours. I have a greenhouse and the yard is coming along but you have taken it to the next level!
Such a nice thing to say! Thank you! My Dad hung those for me many years ago. Someone asked me the color once. I said, boy, I don’t know, “really dirty green” 😆
Very pretty and you did inspire me with your New Dawn climbing roses. I have a question regarding them though, what do you use to train them along the roof line of your shed? I know you have talked about this before but would you please be so kind as to refresh my memory? Thank God for gardening Luminaries 😇
Hi there! Thank you so much! I have cup hooks screwed under the roofline. Then I ran a piece of heavy fishing line just as a guide when they started groeing. Now the canes are so thick that they kind of support themselves along the cup hooks. Works great!
Everything is looking so pretty and peaceful. I think the Rosy Teacups dogwood is going to look smashing in the front corner. I love the sweet "Peter Rabbit" vignette of the watering can and rabbit statue. I love sweet touches like that. How large is your property? It seems to be around what my CT house and yard are: we're 50 feet wide x 150 feet deep.
I love your garden spaces; everything is looking great! I just learned that I LOVE Zenias! This was the first year I have ever planted them, and only because someone gave them to me, and WOW! I had no idea they would quadruple in size and bloom so prolifically! I'm already dreaming of where all I plan to plant them in my gardens next spring!! 😊 Happy Gardening! 🌻
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. Oh my aren’t they the best! One of the easiest plants to grow from seed too. They are fantastic flowers!!
@HowsItGrowing That is good to know! I have only grown Rudbeckia from seeds. I will keep that in mind! Maybe I can take seed from my existing Zenia plants??
@26:12 in front of your new dogwood tree you have a flower hose guide. May I ask where you purchased it? Your garden has a tremendous amount of inspiration. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thank you so much! Some things I’ve had so long I don’t remember, I’m sorry. I did a quick google search for iron flower hose guide and saw some similar options.
...your home has such warmth and personality, Laura...I love old homes (and have one myself.) I have good planting-beds out back, but I want less grass and more "utility" like your raised bed area. I do have a small greenhouse which has added, like, 500% charm. Yours is to die for (with Marc's sink?!! 🤗🤤 [that's a 'drool' emoji]. Your little new cottage bed is beautiful and really coming along....I love the boxwood bones. I'm always excited when you post a new video (or IG reel)...keep 'em coming! 🙌❤️🫶 (hugs from 👩🏼🌾💚 =^..^=)
Charming garden, a treat for our eyes! what do you call and where did you get the "grid" mounted on your white fence, the x pattern?? Keep up the great work.
I haven't looked at your channel because I get updates on IG every day. What a difference watching the "big screen" on my laptop. Everything looks great. You will, of course, let us know where we can purchase the How's It Growing turf blend😆. Everything is growing in so well (Sprinters especially!). The border in the back looks so pro and the new planting in the front will be a continuation of the loveliness. I have one question. I've looked everywhere for a bird bath (no fountain). I love the one by your Rose Teacup Dogwood. Where, oh where did you find it? And if there is a design in the bath part, is it hard to clean? Great video!
Hi! I'm new to your channel. Love, love your garden. Quick questions (you've probably mentioned it in the past) - Where did you get your lovely birdbath/fountain in the corner by the arbor and back door? It has a little bird on the top. I just love it and would love to have one in my garden, also. Looking forward to watching your transformation with the little pond.
Hi Laura, Beautiful gardens!! When you say you use sheet mulching with cardboard - do you only use cardboard or do you use the sheet mulching that you can buy at the store like landscape fabric? What do you suggest is the best method/way to edge beds?
Hi! I’ve only done it in one area and worked great. Just cardboard with soil on top. It breaks down completely. I don’t recommend plastic or landscape fabric. Unless you’re using it for a pathway with pavers or stones and don’t want to plant in that space. I like to use a half moon edging shovel. I got one on Amazon. It cuts really nice lines. I lay out a bit of hose or rope on the ground to mark my path then cut around it. It’s such a small garden here so it’s easy this way.
Hi! I don’t know the name. When we had the addition put on it was done in vinyl shake shingles that were already cast in that color. We just picked from samples the contractor had.
hello, I'm your new subscriber, you have very interesting videos! my name is Elena, I'm from Russia, I have a question for you, please tell me where you bought your beautiful greenhouse
Hi!! No staking. Honestly, I’m not even sure how it’s not flopping. I was looking at it the other day in the rain and it wasn’t phased. Very unusual. 😆
JUST BEAUTIFUL! THANKS FOR INVITING US ALL!
Very pretty. Don’t stress. It’s supposed to be fun. You’re echinacea didn’t get eaten by the rabbits. That’s a big win. 🎉
You are so right! It was a close call on that one! I covered with a big cloche after I caught some nibbles. Thank you! 🥰

All our gardens are always a work in progress. That is why we garden. It's always changing!
Absoluely!
What a great idea sharing the same location with two different types of hydrangeas. I’m stealing that idea! Thanks!!!
My friend, the garden looks amazing! And as a gardener, you “fly like an Eagle🦅🎶😂!
Really good idea about the turf against the fence....less turf is better. I love our channel...keep up the good work
Thank you! I think the lawn will eventually disappear. 😆💜

Excited that I finally found someone in same planting zone😊
Hi! Thank you! Oh I’m so glad. I know how much this helps!!
I love all the changes to the back garden. Everything is so lush and beautiful! So happy that the dogwood is out front to show off your charming home. Love all the updates to the front. I so enjoy seeing your porch ,sidewalk, and front yard. As always you are amazing.❤
So beautiful! I am inspired by so many elements! Thank you for sharing your gardens!
So much appreciated. Thank you! 💜

I love your property. I love the front porch and the garden is beautiful. I am excited to see the dog woods in bloom next year.
I would live in your greenhouse just for that sink. What a beautiful space!
This made me laugh. The sink really pushed it over the edge for me too. 😆 Thank you!
I love everything about your garden and your greenhouse. 🏡
I love, love, love your gardens…thank you for the tour!! 😊😁😊
Really nice. Your garden has a nice flow!
Everything is beautiful! Love the vintage watering can and the diamond trellises on the fence…everything is so pretty❤ totally an cottage English Garden❤❤❤

Everything looks so nice. I love your front porch and the entire entrance.
I loved your tour, and am on the Rosie Teacup band.
Beautiful garden, I especially love the design and the size of your greenhouse. I wish it was available on the market on this side of the Atlantic😅
Your boxwood hedges really add a lot of lusciousness to your garden. Also love your birdbaths, beautiful designs.
Everything is so pretty...I especially love the front porch area good choice removing the big shrubs. Opens up the area so nicely .❤
Gorgeous gardens back and front. ❤😊
Everything looks so beautiful. I hope one day to have a garden/backyard like yours. I have a greenhouse and the yard is coming along but you have taken it to the next level!
Shelley, you are so kind. Thank you! Best thing about gardening is it gets better every year. 🥰
Every walk through.your garden brings inspiration.
You’re so kind Ann! Thank you! 💜
Beautiful garden! Love your color theme! Love seeing the process and transformation.💝
I can relate so much to your garden journey!
Oh girl, you DO make me laugh! Thank YOU 😊!
😆😆 I’m so glad. I watch things back and just shake my head sometimes.
Love the little pond idea!
Your garden inspires me.hi from England ❤
🤗 Hi!! Thank you so much for watching!!
Your garden is so lush!!!!🤩🤩
Hi Laura,Thanks for update , everything is looking great and a small pond would look awesome.
You did a good job everything is coming along so cottage looking ❤
I appreciate it! Thank you for being here! 💜
Everything is just gorgeous ❤
Everything is looking lovely
I find so much inspiration from your videos! Obsessed with your shutters!
Such a nice thing to say! Thank you! My Dad hung those for me many years ago. Someone asked me the color once. I said, boy, I don’t know, “really dirty green” 😆
Lovely cottage looking garden…❤
Wow! Stunning!

Hi there! Thank you so much! I have cup hooks screwed under the roofline. Then I ran a piece of heavy fishing line just as a guide when they started groeing. Now the canes are so thick that they kind of support themselves along the cup hooks. Works great!

"Hold on, thinking of it." 😂❤

Looks great. What happened to your other espalier trees? I just put a few in my garden.
Charming garden, a treat for our eyes! what do you call and where did you get the "grid" mounted on your white fence, the x pattern?? Keep
up the great work.

I enjoy your garden so much!! I’ve used an umbrella to keep water off of my ponytail palm. Whatever works, right? 😊
Haha! Yes! What we works! Thank you so much for being here! 💜

I think a rose would have been perfect for the obliseck. What is your favorite rose
I had a rose on it and it was way too thick and bulky. Swallowed it up in a not good way. 🤣 my favorite climbing rose is New Dawn.
Nice 😊
Could you pls share what the paint color is of your home at 6:42??? It’s the perfect Greige color! Thank you.
Hi! I don’t know the name. When we had the addition put on it was done in vinyl shake shingles that were already cast in that color. We just picked from samples the contractor had.
Your garden is gorgeous! What is vining up your lamp post in the end of the video
Thank you! That is a pink mink clematis. Just finished blooming. It gets covered with little pink flowers.
It look like practical magic (the movie) house garden
I’ve never seen it, but sounds like something I should watch. 🪄🧙
Beautiful garden mam❤❤
Nice shearing 🪴🪴🪴🪴☘️☘️🌿🏡👍
hello, I'm your new subscriber, you have very interesting videos! my name is Elena, I'm from Russia, I have a question for you, please tell me where you bought your beautiful greenhouse
Where’d you get the little bunny at around 20:00?
That was from Home Depot a few years ago.
Hello! Did you stake your echinacea? Mine are taller than I am, too.😄 They flopped after the last thunderstorm though.
Hi!! No staking. Honestly, I’m not even sure how it’s not flopping. I was looking at it the other day in the rain and it wasn’t phased. Very unusual. 😆
@@HowsItGrowing awesome!
Can you start uploading in 1080? I find the 720 too low for my tv screen.
I do upload in 1080. Not sure why it wouldn’t be. I’ll check into it.
Thank you for pointing this out! I can see it’s 720, but my videos are filmed in 1080. Really appreciate the heads up. I’ll correct it going forward.
Can you share where you got the concrete final, is it a pineapple?
Yea! It’s called the Longwood Pineapple (Longwood Gardens collection) by Campania International. It was from garden-fountains.com
@@HowsItGrowing Thank you so much
Absolutely gorgeous!
