I buy the green coated tomato cages and cut them in half to put around my peonies for support. Works great, costs less than $10. The green coated ones disappear once the plants starts to grow. You get two supports from each cage.
What an awesome tip!!! Thank you so much! I’ve been agonizing over how to support my Zinias in the back of my bed! Paint them black or green and they disappear! Garden Answer viewers are the bomb!
I’m with Laura on safety. Never underestimate children’s ability to figure stuff out. My youngest could get through child proof medication caps before he could walk.☹️
I was walking around the garden area in Lowes and I recognize so many plants after watching you so many years. I say “oh it’s a blah blah blah”. 😂Thanks for teaching me so much!
Me too ! And I know NOTHING thank you Laura ! OHHHHH except if any thing says PROVEN winners ! I buyyyyy ! ( we get them rarely here in 9 b Mesa ) glenda
By the play area you should build a basic covered patio so that when you’re out there you have an area to sit out of the sun and you could have picnics/parties out there. 😊
My mind started wandering during this portion of the conversation too! Covered seating area, hammocks, trees for shade. Just like everything else, it will be fun to watch that area develop!
Whenever I'm treated that poorly by a business I go to the top and ask why. The owners may not know how bad their customer service is and the manufacturer shouldn't be blamed - all they do is ship product to the store.
Aaron's input on businesses using poor quality customer service was so welcomed. I believe we all have been dissed at one time or another. It just feels good to know we're in good company. And Laura is spot on regarding child safety. And Laura, I followed your rain, splashing explanation easily. I think Aaron might have gotten a little sass going on. 😅
Go Momma Bear!!!! I would have stood firm with you on the battery and tools too. Course I’m a grandma bear now and grandpa knows when I say no…it’s a firm no and he’s quiet. 😂😂😂😂 But safety first!!!! Kids are quick. BTW, I got a chuckle too.
After your strawberries in a small galvanised container vid I grew strawberry plants with my class (although they really just wanted to watch how to turn them into ice-cream on repeat). They loved it and learned so much, they were ten years old and some only realised it’s the roots that take in water, others were fascinated that the flower centre turned into the fruit,,, We ordered bare roots after Easter and watched what they did until taking them home for Summer hols.
The bean growing project brought back memories of 1st grade when we planted beans and could take the plants home. I planted mine in my mother's rose garden. I am now 73 and had forgotten that. Thanks
I'm with Laura on tool safety. Never underestimate what a curious, determined child of any age can do. A 2-year old deliberately called me from her mom's locked phone. She didn't know her letters or numbers yet, but she sure knew how to replicate physical motions that she'd seen!
Omgosh Aaron's saying" I live here and had a hard time..." almost peed myself laughing so hard. Was right there with ya. Laura u are so cute and funny without even trying. God bless you both.
Oh dear , when I heard rubber mulch my heart sank , the local park has black rubber mulch under there playground equipment here , and on hot summer days it’s too hot to play on 😢
Concerning the cost of the lemon concrete pot I appreciate how you were considerate of regular gardeners budgets. It’s attainable by spreading the purchases over time. Keeping it real. 😊
I agree with Laura that the loppers are extremely dangerous! Forget a finger, your little kiddos could lose a limb! The editing on this was hilarious 🐻
About the Hartley plants drying out quickly and needing extra 2:25 water. I live in the lower desert of California where our summers are typically over 110 for weeks which is not ideal for our homes, carpet, furniture, anything with fabric, plants and pets. We recommend people place 5 gallon buckets of water where you want a bit of moisture and you will be amazed at what the slow release of moisture will do for the area. Probably 1 bucket at either end of the Hartley (just set them and forget ‘em) will suffice and the bucket will be empty at the end of summer depending on the length of the hottest part. Hope it helps!
80 here and am reducing the number of pots. Deer are eating everything too so I'm going for both real flowers and fake evergreens. Deer resistant everything.
I recommend using codes! I’m a growth marketing strategist and at some point you’re going to want to know what effort caused what surge of sales and codes can be a window into that conversion. I get wanting to simplify it for the end user - just wanted to call out the trackability side of it. Appreciate all you both do and for sharing a part of your life with those of us on the other side of the screen.
Why when Laura said I don't even think a rain gutter would help, did I imagine a gutter salesman somewhere saying "Oh, yes it could, let me show you!" LOL Laura used a ring for her peonies in the episode --- Planting Peonies (Plants & Tubers) in My Garden! I only know because I had to look up a video since I was getting ready to plant some. I was so glad to see she had planted some in the spring since that was what I was doing....
Good morning from Ann Arbor Michigan! I love Taylor/Tyler (Lol) editing. One thing I really appreciate about both of you is you are so real. Please don’t change. Sometimes people get popular and they get a little big for their britches lol Not to mention your banter just like a normal married couple 🤣
My boyfriend correctly predicted the type of tractor GA would eventually need, so I thought I'd throw out his thoughts on a land plane! He says it could work if used differently, but a box blade would probably be better. No idea what that means, but there you go 🤷♀️
Just finished the video. I wanted to share my peonies support. I used to set up small garden stakes and jute to create a caged area to support them. This past year I got an old lamp shade from a second hand store, riped off the cloth and spray painted it black. I set it upside down over top where the peonies come up and just monitor and adjust as the growth progresses so that they all come up with in the wire frame. It worked very well. I did anchor with landscaping tacks. Maybe the official supports are cheaper or maybe you don't have to spray paint but it is an idea. Happy Gardening all!
For the kids in the classroom planting beans. They could give each child their own paper cup (or red plastic solo cup) to plant a couple of beans in. That way they can watch the growth for the rest of the school year, and even if they don’t get completely mature in time, the kids can still take them home to finish there.
As soon as I saw it pop up that you and mom and Monica’s got to go shopping, I was so excited. Can’t wait for that video. Thanks you to you three for video-😅ing the day.
I agree. Also the heat can burn and kill plants like azaleas which have their roots running close to the surface. This all also true for the lava rock.😢
I LOVE the fact that you show the stuff in pots like grapes. I'm in such a small space and it's nice to see ways I can implement the same things you have in your garden in my own here on the western side of the state!
It’s nice that they are finally seeing the advantage of having play sets and such for the kids. They used to say they didn’t need it, there was a park in town, after a year or so kids don’t use them anymore.
To add humidity in the Hartley, leave water in your sink or use a large bowl filled with water and leave them out. I was on a cruise and our room was DRY, so I put water in the ice bucket and left it on the nightstand and it solved the problem. Oh, I started it with hot water.
Oh my gosh!!! I am loving the nature’s willow pain relief cream so much. I have lived with chronic pain for over 40 years. This stuff works amazingly. I will be stocking up. Thank you for the sale and for all you do. I love you both and I love your channel and your family.❤❤❤
I got a half hour Ted talk on the difference between the JD green tractor and the Bobcat CWL. My husband has worked as a mechanic for most of his adult life, both Ag and construction machines. He currently does machine monitoring for JD for SoCal, NV and ID. He explained why the blade on the wheel loader is harder to use than the JD one. It’s doable but will take more practice.
You were correct! There is a time and a place for faux plants! They look so real. I have faux as well as my tiny, tiny, traveling and vertical garden. We travel for work in a trailer and have kids AND pets, and to instill my love of the beauty of nature and keeping my home lovely, I have real and faux. No judgement! Do what brings ease and peace to your day!
I had to smile when you said if you don't do it right away it is gone from your brain. I am the same way. Perhaps Aaron should be taking notes during these recap videos of what you say you're going to put in the description box. I have to write things down all the time or I forget. But you do a great job with your videos.And thanks for all the instruction and inspiration.
Hi~ I was going to suggest the same thing as I have that type of roof line. The gutter installers can modify an added piece to direct the rain water's flow. 🙋
I did a double take myself when I heard Laura say "No" on hydrangeas blooming in shade ... Live in Florida, and unless it's a panicle variety, generally hydrangeas here only thrive in shady areas! Otherwise they fry in direct sun! In my experience (learning to garden in Northern climates and having to re-learn everything I thought I knew when I moved to heat and humidity) ... When MOST plants say full sun on the tags ... uh, here in FL ... No!
To support my peonies I use sturdy prunings from shrubs & trees (trimmed & cut to usable size,) lashed together (either with twine or wire) to form a simple, rustic 4 sided cage (either for single plants dotted around or one large corral for a grouping.) They look pretty & keep the heavy peony flowers from flopping.
No John Deere 😢!! I’m from home of John Deere, Moline, IL! Fun fact/ I own a flower shop, called K’nees Florists. The original owner of my shop was the actual gardener for John Deere (the person)! We have been in business since 1886! 😊
I’m so excited for the growth of your business! It’s a joy to see your hard work blossom into such success and the fact that you’re taking your friends with you, just makes it even more beautiful. Your experience with the John Deere dealership is becoming the norm. I can’t for the life of me understand anyone taking their dissatisfaction with their job out on customers in the same way I can’t understand people abusing customer service reps for following corporate rules. You’re taking it out on the wrong person.
This is another wonderful recap. Love the terrific back and forth dialogue between you and Aaron. You accomplished so much over the past week and I learned lots. I'll bet the kids are filled with excitement over the play area. They will have great fun there and make good memories. Have a really happy, productive week.💕
I have three Oakleaf Hydrangeas that i planted in the full shade area of my yard, and all three have thrived very well! One is named Snow Queen and the other two are Ruby Slippers. All three have gorgeous flowers and fall colors!
Sounds like a new cult. 😂😂😂 The Followers of the Eclipse have taken over my town.... Help!! 🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️ They are surrounding me, forcing their glasses upon me! 😂
Good morning from the Texas Hillcountry just northwest of Austin. We’re covered in eclipse followers. Y’all have a great day and coming week. I’m inspired to get off my duff and get out in the garden every day with your hard work and dedication in y’all’s. You’re a ministry to my soul guys.
I’m excited to share the Hydrangea I’ve got is good for shade - Monrovia Seaside Seranade Outer Banks, was built for eastern ocean-facing climate with cold and shade. It’s a lace-cap macrophylla all season bloomer.
In the south, we get excited when hydrangeas can take full sun. I’ve always thought of hydrangeas as shade plants and my limelight is doing beautifully in part shade. Lace caps and oak leaf hydrangeas do well in shade. I guess it’s because our days are long and nights are hot. Couldn’t believe it when she said they needed sun. Ours will burn in the sun except for a few varieties. Zone 8 Atlanta
My husband keeps asking me what I'm watching every day on my phone (your videos, I tell him!) You've inspired me to do a lot more spring work sooner, when winter days were mild. It sure makes the spring cleanup paced better and easier, thank you. We were also rated from 6b to 7a with the new USDA plant hardiness zone map (WV). I placed a large order with PW in December, and they still had my zone as 6b so the shipment wasn't scheduled until 4/29. I called them to move it up, so they should now ship the week of 4/15. Can't wait! Good luck with that rubber mulch. My granddaughter looks like a coal miner when she comes home from daycare, where they have rubber mulch on their playground. My daughter puts her crocs in the dishwasher. 🤣🤣 Silver maples love moisture, and I'm growing cardinal flower this year in my northern, wetter landscape bed.
Good morning from the West Coast of Wisconsin. I watch your videos every day! I have a Greenspire Linden that I planted about 15 years ago. When it blooms it's just heavenly, both fragrant and beauty. It also has medicinal properties, recommended for treating colds, flu, bronchitis and other similar respiratory problems.
we planted sunflower seeds in the bottoms of milk cartons (the little cardboard ones we got at lunch) in kindergarten. We took them home the last week of school to plant at home. By the end of summer it was twice as tall as I was. That was one of the first things I can remember that sparked my love of gardening. Even if you can't harvest during the school year it's still very exciting to see things starting to grow and learning about the process.
The first time l watched your video, you were harvesting wheat. Then you took it to mom & dad's place of business. Put it all in front of a fan. Boy, l was hooked! It was so cool. I love your channel, && family. Especially when you & mom go antiquing. You even take us along for lunch & when sis goes with, that's special, & the tour of her garden & all you have done with it. I love Christmas at your place, & moms place. The cooking, gardening, harvesting, Aaron & kids. As far as I'm concerned, you should have 1 million subscribers. Thank you, Angel 😇 girl! God bless you all and ☦️ many prayers forever. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister. 🙏🏻
We did this as a kid and would use small milk cartins and wright our names on them and put them in the window seal at school. We would do beans and peas. Old 4-H videos are a great inspiration.
38:24 bug over Laura‘S right shoulder on the black plant stand by the upper light.😂 Great video guys loved it all. Yes lots of things going on. Aron keep the green tractor for the driveway and other things. Thanks again for sharing this with us.💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
We just went to our garden center yesterday and picked up our perennials for the garden to plant this year. We’re adding red and yellow dogwood! 😊 I’m excited to plant everything in today. 🌿
Great recap. I love these. The just are the perfect final touch to the weeks videos because you explain things that might need further explanation and or you answer questions. I just love how you both react and interact with each other. Thank you for doing these.
Good morning I’m enjoying sun raising it’s going in the low 70’s here. Going to go through the eclipse tomorrow. I enjoy your videos everyday and y’all have been to such a pure joy. Lol I searched all day Saturday for your videos but I told myself listen they have a live. Enjoy your Sunday 🌹
My kids have all brought home radish plants from school over the years. This is a good intro to seed starting for kids because they are fast from planting to harvest. This has also made my kids love to eat radishes 😊
I don't know why people complicate peonies. You can tie a piece of garden twine around the stems before they leaf out. The twine rides the plants higher and the stalks can support each other. Usually the twine has degraded by the time you need to cut them back in the fall. If it hasn't, just snip and toss.
I buy the green coated tomato cages and cut them in half to put around my peonies for support. Works great, costs less than $10. The green coated ones disappear once the plants starts to grow. You get two supports from each cage.
What an awesome tip!!! Thank you so much! I’ve been agonizing over how to support my Zinias in the back of my bed! Paint them black or green and they disappear! Garden Answer viewers are the bomb!
I, too, use tomato cages for my peonies. It's what I had on hand. Works great.
Aaron cracks me up!😂 Laura explaining the rain chain. Aaron. . “Aaaa I live here and had a hard time following that.”😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Great to hear Aaron's discussion of the importance of customer service. John Deere listen up.
I’m with Laura on safety. Never underestimate children’s ability to figure stuff out. My youngest could get through child proof medication caps before he could walk.☹️
I love the way Aaron’s eyes light up when you mention planting trees. 🌳 Such joy!
I was walking around the garden area in Lowes and I recognize so many plants after watching you so many years. I say “oh it’s a blah blah blah”. 😂Thanks for teaching me so much!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one😂 I feel close to expert😂
Ha ha right?! 😂
Same! Which really helps with the overwhelmed feeling I use to have
Me too ! And I know NOTHING thank you Laura ! OHHHHH except if any thing says PROVEN winners ! I buyyyyy ! ( we get them rarely here in 9 b Mesa ) glenda
Aaron to John Deere “Big mistake, big..HUGE!”
Pretty woman style!!!😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
By the play area you should build a basic covered patio so that when you’re out there you have an area to sit out of the sun and you could have picnics/parties out there. 😊
My mind started wandering during this portion of the conversation too! Covered seating area, hammocks, trees for shade. Just like everything else, it will be fun to watch that area develop!
Almond trees smell like Amaretto when they bloom In the spring our whole valley has that fragrance with all of our almond orchards.
So true Aaron. A product's worth is at least fifty percent the customer service offered.
Oh! I’m sure Arron will hear directly from John Deer. Please let us know if he does. 😂😂
I'm thinking that someone just lost their job too.
Whenever I'm treated that poorly by a business I go to the top and ask why. The owners may not know how bad their customer service is and the manufacturer shouldn't be blamed - all they do is ship product to the store.
Aaron's input on businesses using poor quality customer service was so welcomed. I believe we all have been dissed at one time or another. It just feels good to know we're in good company.
And Laura is spot on regarding child safety.
And Laura, I followed your rain, splashing explanation easily. I think Aaron might have gotten a little sass going on. 😅
Such a guy...too much work to wash hands!!! I spilled coffee all down my shirt after that one! You guys are in top form today.
I just spit my coffee out when Aaron said I live here and had a hard time following that! Lol😂😅
Loved “mama bear triggered”. 😂😂😂 Fully agree with Laura, better to be safe than sorry. 😊
I keep the batteries out for my own safety. I don't have a lot of success with sharp things.
i
and the battery is not easy to install
Go Momma Bear!!!! I would have stood firm with you on the battery and tools too. Course I’m a grandma bear now and grandpa knows when I say no…it’s a firm no and he’s quiet. 😂😂😂😂 But safety first!!!! Kids are quick. BTW, I got a chuckle too.
After your strawberries in a small galvanised container vid I grew strawberry plants with my class (although they really just wanted to watch how to turn them into ice-cream on repeat). They loved it and learned so much, they were ten years old and some only realised it’s the roots that take in water, others were fascinated that the flower centre turned into the fruit,,, We ordered bare roots after Easter and watched what they did until taking them home for Summer hols.
The bean growing project brought back memories of 1st grade when we planted beans and could take the plants home. I planted mine in my mother's rose garden. I am now 73 and had forgotten that. Thanks
What a lovely memory❤
I'm with Laura on tool safety. Never underestimate what a curious, determined child of any age can do. A 2-year old deliberately called me from her mom's locked phone. She didn't know her letters or numbers yet, but she sure knew how to replicate physical motions that she'd seen!
Omgosh Aaron's saying" I live here and had a hard time..." almost peed myself laughing so hard. Was right there with ya. Laura u are so cute and funny without even trying. God bless you both.
25:01 - Aaron acting like THAT kid in class! 🤣 We love you Aaron! Don't ever stop being you!
Oh dear , when I heard rubber mulch my heart sank , the local park has black rubber mulch under there playground equipment here , and on hot summer days it’s too hot to play on 😢
Plant trees asap for shade!!!
Its also off gassing, so somewhat toxic.
Rubber mulch is a swear word in my gardening world.
Previous owners at our home did the "rubber-mulch"😢 It took forever to get rid of the stinkin' stuff.
The kids will love their new play area. So happy for them, getting their own space!
Concerning the cost of the lemon concrete pot I appreciate how you were considerate of regular gardeners budgets. It’s attainable by spreading the purchases over time. Keeping it real. 😊
Gotta agree 💯 with Laura! It’s a great habit to have to keep battery out when not physical cutting with tools!
I agree with Laura that the loppers are extremely dangerous! Forget a finger, your little kiddos could lose a limb! The editing on this was hilarious 🐻
Agreed 💯 on both points...the editing the new guy"sorry I forgot the name" is doing puts a new spin on GA and I'm here for it 😊
About the Hartley plants drying out quickly and needing extra 2:25 water. I live in the lower desert of California where our summers are typically over 110 for weeks which is not ideal for our homes, carpet, furniture, anything with fabric, plants and pets.

lol. At 84 I’m thinking about using fake flowers. My pots are hard to move, but I love the flowers. 💜💜
80 here and am reducing the number of pots. Deer are eating everything too so I'm going for both real flowers and fake evergreens. Deer resistant everything.
I am in same place. Old age and deer!
You aren't giving Benjamin enough credit. Lol. I would bet he even knows how to put the batteries in by now. He watches Mom and Dad!
If you r making a kid area-kids love a grassy mound- 6-8 ft diameter to climb on. Larger is a little easier to mow. If u have room.
@@miajoyce11 My kids would be climbing their wood chip piles! Lol
I recommend using codes! I’m a growth marketing strategist and at some point you’re going to want to know what effort caused what surge of sales and codes can be a window into that conversion.

Agree with momma, freak accidents happen I am one who knows, keep the tools away from little ones .
Just remember turf gets very hot to walk on in the heat of the day. Perhaps it's good that the quote came in so high.
Is your mom and dad's renovation done? I can't wait to see her how she decorates in the new space! So excited for them!
Why when Laura said I don't even think a rain gutter would help, did I imagine a gutter salesman somewhere saying "Oh, yes it could, let me show you!"

"You don't have to buy it from us, you could go to Home Depot..." It's the Miracle on 34th Street effect 😆 Now I WANT to shop in your store lol
😉
Good morning from Ann Arbor Michigan! I love Taylor/Tyler (Lol) editing. One thing I really appreciate about both of you is you are so real. Please don’t change. Sometimes people get popular and they get a little big for their britches lol
Not to mention your banter just like a normal married couple 🤣
Dearborn MI here,
and I agree ❤
WTG Taylor! Love your editing style - you've made GA's entertaining videos even better! Kudos! :D
My boyfriend correctly predicted the type of tractor GA would eventually need, so I thought I'd throw out his thoughts on a land plane! He says it could work if used differently, but a box blade would probably be better. No idea what that means, but there you go 🤷♀️
Our grade school here has a greenhouse that they sprout and grow vegetables and annuals to sell every spring. ❤
Good Afternoon from Serbia🇷🇸28°C 🌅🌞🥵
Have a great week everyone. Can’t wait to see the shopping trip and finished playground this week.
Just finished the video. I wanted to share my peonies support. I used to set up small garden stakes and jute to create a caged area to support them. This past year I got an old lamp shade from a second hand store, riped off the cloth and spray painted it black. I set it upside down over top where the peonies come up and just monitor and adjust as the growth progresses so that they all come up with in the wire frame. It worked very well. I did anchor with landscaping tacks. Maybe the official supports are cheaper or maybe you don't have to spray paint but it is an idea. Happy Gardening all!

Radishes grow really fast
Snow Peas, Snap Peas, Sugar Peas too. Please🌱🌿
As soon as I saw it pop up that you and mom and Monica’s got to go shopping, I was so excited. Can’t wait for that video. Thanks you to you three for video-😅ing the day.
Good morning. I love Sunday mornings before church, having my coffee, and watching the recap. Great start to the day. Make it a great one 🌞 🪴🐝
Your Recaps are one of my favorite podcast type channels. It’s great for listening while cooking or cleaning up on Sundays.
The only drawback to rubber mulch is that it gets SUPER HOT. Monitor it in summer if the kids are going to be barefoot to avoid burns.
Not the only drawback. Kids playing in heated rubber (maybe?) exposed to forever chemicals.
I agree. Also the heat can burn and kill plants like azaleas which have their roots running close to the surface. This all also true for the lava rock.😢
I am also concerned about the potential toxicity of the rubber.
I can here the neighbors the garden lady has fake plants .lol😅
I LOVE the fact that you show the stuff in pots like grapes. I'm in such a small space and it's nice to see ways I can implement the same things you have in your garden in my own here on the western side of the state!

I absolutely love the new editing !!! So much fun
To add humidity in the Hartley, leave water in your sink or use a large bowl filled with water and leave them out. I was on a cruise and our room was DRY, so I put water in the ice bucket and left it on the nightstand and it solved the problem. Oh, I started it with hot water.
Also, wasn't there a small fountain? Might need humidifier

I loved the mama bear part.

You can add a piece of metal on the roof area where the water splattering is. It will direct the water to the down to the gutter area.
It's called flashing. Does a great job directing water where you want it to flow.
Hi~ I was going to suggest the same thing as I have that type of roof line. The gutter installers can modify an added piece to direct the rain water's flow. 🙋
Love your editor's sense of humor!
I know you and Aaron are so busy. I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of other people's gardens gives me ideas! Would enjoy them on Saturday's!
I remember doing bean sprouts in school. We lined a clear plastic cup with a wet paper towel and put the bean between so we could watch the process.
Oakleaf hydrangeas do great in full shade for me in North Texas!
I did a double take myself when I heard Laura say "No" on hydrangeas blooming in shade ... Live in Florida, and unless it's a panicle variety, generally hydrangeas here only thrive in shady areas! Otherwise they fry in direct sun! In my experience (learning to garden in Northern climates and having to re-learn everything I thought I knew when I moved to heat and humidity) ...

Good morning GA friends! I love these weekly recaps, I listen every Sunday while getting ready for church. ☺️
Same!

Good Morning from VA
Aaron now has a big-boy tractor. He definitely deserves it!
I’m so excited for the growth of your business! It’s a joy to see your hard work blossom into such success and the fact that you’re taking your friends with you, just makes it even more beautiful. Your experience with the John Deere dealership is becoming the norm.

Good morning GA family from Ohio. We're inundated with Solar Eclipse followers. Love when you shop with your mom. 🌷
Sounds like a new cult. 😂😂😂
The Followers of the Eclipse have taken over my town.... Help!! 🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️
They are surrounding me, forcing their glasses upon me! 😂
@@RealBradMiller that's funny!! So far I've not seen any here in Cleveland Oh, but I'll keep a look out! 🤣
@@lisag6796 Look upon the Great Eclipse and accept your gift(hint: it's Moonflower and Sunflower scented hand sanitizer)!
Claus Dalby has custom peony rings. Lovely. GA should carry some.
“Mama bear activating” “Mama bear triggered”…I laughed out loud. 100% agree with you Laura!
Me too 😂
Good morning from the Texas Hillcountry just northwest of Austin. We’re covered in eclipse followers. Y’all have a great day and coming week. I’m inspired to get off my duff and get out in the garden every day with your hard work and dedication in y’all’s. You’re a ministry to my soul guys.
Sorry. We were headed there to Round Rock, but needed up with health issues. I hope you get enough sun to experience totality!
Love our time together 😊 learning to be a better gardener 👍
Do you like the smell of geranium leaves? I love that smell and also salvias! I like all the sweet smells that you named too.😊❤
I’m excited to share the Hydrangea I’ve got is good for shade - Monrovia Seaside Seranade Outer Banks, was built for eastern ocean-facing climate with cold and shade. It’s a lace-cap macrophylla all season bloomer.
In the south, we get excited when hydrangeas can take full sun. I’ve always thought of hydrangeas as shade plants and my limelight is doing beautifully in part shade. Lace caps and oak leaf hydrangeas do well in shade. I guess it’s because our days are long and nights are hot. Couldn’t believe it when she said they needed sun. Ours will burn in the sun except for a few varieties. Zone 8 Atlanta
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️
Who is as curious as I am-----did John Deere reach out to Aaron? I love the honesty. It is why I am here.
My husband keeps asking me what I'm watching every day on my phone (your videos, I tell him!) You've inspired me to do a lot more spring work sooner, when winter days were mild. It sure makes the spring cleanup paced better and easier, thank you. We were also rated from 6b to 7a with the new USDA plant hardiness zone map (WV). I placed a large order with PW in December, and they still had my zone as 6b so the shipment wasn't scheduled until 4/29. I called them to move it up, so they should now ship the week of 4/15. Can't wait!
Good luck with that rubber mulch. My granddaughter looks like a coal miner when she comes home from daycare, where they have rubber mulch on their playground. My daughter puts her crocs in the dishwasher. 🤣🤣
Silver maples love moisture, and I'm growing cardinal flower this year in my northern, wetter landscape bed.
After last night we should be good on frosts. Still too cold for too long up here for me. 😂
Good morning from Nebraska! Always excited for these recaps!
Thanks Aaron and Laura!
Good morning from the West Coast of Wisconsin. I watch your videos every day! I have a Greenspire Linden that I planted about 15 years ago. When it blooms it's just heavenly, both fragrant and beauty. It also has medicinal properties, recommended for treating colds, flu, bronchitis and other similar respiratory problems.
My kids did Bean sprouts in school and brought home their babies to be planted out in the garden.
Aaron! Get trees in around the play area fast! I'm afraid you're both going to really hate rubber mulch. Scalding hot in summer.
we planted sunflower seeds in the bottoms of milk cartons (the little cardboard ones we got at lunch) in kindergarten. We took them home the last week of school to plant at home. By the end of summer it was twice as tall as I was. That was one of the first things I can remember that sparked my love of gardening. Even if you can't harvest during the school year it's still very exciting to see things starting to grow and learning about the process.
Oh goody. Shopping day to look forward to. One of my favorite smells is the mock orange bush.
Yes, they smell wonderful! Not great looking, though.
The first time l watched your video, you were harvesting wheat. Then you took it to mom & dad's place of business. Put it all in front of a fan. Boy, l was hooked! It was so cool. I love your channel, && family. Especially when you & mom go antiquing. You even take us along for lunch & when sis goes with, that's special, & the tour of her garden & all you have done with it. I love Christmas at your place, & moms place. The cooking, gardening, harvesting, Aaron & kids. As far as I'm concerned, you should have 1 million subscribers. Thank you, Angel 😇 girl! God bless you all and ☦️ many prayers forever. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister. 🙏🏻
The "mama bear" faces 😂😂
Good morning from Northern California
We did this as a kid and would use small milk cartins and wright our names on them and put them in the window seal at school. We would do beans and peas. Old 4-H videos are a great inspiration.
Love recap Sundays ❤ Laura and Aaron can be so funny 😆
Definitely starts one's week off with a smile and laughs!❤
Good morning Laura & Aaron. 😊
38:24 bug over Laura‘S right shoulder on the black plant stand by the upper light.😂
Great video guys loved it all. Yes lots of things going on. Aron keep the green tractor for the driveway and other things. Thanks again for sharing this with us.💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Or a drop of water?
We just went to our garden center yesterday and picked up our perennials for the garden to plant this year. We’re adding red and yellow dogwood! 😊 I’m excited to plant everything in today. 🌿
Great recap. I love these. The just are the perfect final touch to the weeks videos because you explain things that might need further explanation and or you answer questions. I just love how you both react and interact with each other. Thank you for doing these.
Good morning I’m enjoying sun raising it’s going in the low 70’s here. Going to go through the eclipse tomorrow.
I enjoy your videos everyday and y’all have been to such a pure joy. Lol I searched all day Saturday for your videos but I told myself listen they have a live. Enjoy your Sunday 🌹
My kids have all brought home radish plants from school over the years. This is a good intro to seed starting for kids because they are fast from planting to harvest. This has also made my kids love to eat radishes 😊
Good morning from Missouri! Enjoy the rain, wish we could get a little more!
I haven’t been out to see how much rain we got in SWMO last night.
Not much here in North Central Mo.
I don't know why people complicate peonies. You can tie a piece of garden twine around the stems before they leaf out. The twine rides the plants higher and the stalks can support each other. Usually the twine has degraded by the time you need to cut them back in the fall. If it hasn't, just snip and toss.
