“You don’t know nothin’ about bare root.” Got a great laugh out of your and Aaron’s bare root discussion. Thank you so much for your videos and just being yourselves.
I’m from South Africa been watching for almost three years and bing watched for the first year most of your previous videos from before I watched lol. I garden in a zone equivalent to usda zone of 10B and even though I can’t get everything you grow or can grow everything you grow I love watching your videos as you are so inspiring. You definitely brought me out of a dark point in my life at that point I watch every single video you post and I have been working on my property as and when I can and get plants as and when I can afford to but just being able to be back in my garden and being inspired to look outside the box and try something new. Thanks so much for your inspiration and loving family spending time with us
I never understood why hardiness zones are the only thing that seems important on plant tags BUT if you live in a very dry hot climate there isn't much info but THAT kind of weather affects my plants BIG TIME!!!! It's one of the reasons I love your channel because you at least can understand heat 105-118. We also have that heat for months. My plants struggle so much. You are a wealth of information, THANK-YOU!!!!!
I live in Cyprus, and according to Google my zone is 10. Three years ago I found your channel, i was so inspired I started gardening!! We never have frost so many of the plants that are annual for Laura grow happily for me.... I often think oh Laura would be so jealous!
Who else is so happy we got a bonus video this week 👍. No pressure to go back to that, Aaron and Laura. Just wanted to acknowledge that it was noticed and appreciated 🙏. I for one am aware of the limitations of what you can grow depending on location. “Zones” are just one aspect of the number of variables that make a difference. Elevation, high summer heat, humidity, soil types, length of growing season, micro climates, plus other variable make a difference. The things I do in a new unfamiliar location: drive or walk around the area where there are established yards and gardens and take notes at what things seem to do well for neighbors. All the better if the gardener is out working and ask questions. Or a good local garden center is a great resource for advice. Also if there is an extension agency ( sometimes affiliated with a college). Then it ultimately comes down to trial and error. 💚💚💚
Gardening is like therapy for me, sometimes I just stroll through garden stores with no intention to buy anything but it’s just so relaxing. I love ❤️ your channel. Florida 9b
I’m in zone 9 south Louisiana. I’ve learned more than you can imagine from Laura. Everything is different here except for high winds. Laura’s way of teaching draws you in and I adapt the information to my area. I’m at a point right now where I’m redesigning so seeing the South Garden take shape has given me numerous ideas. We southern people love Garden Answer too lol
We taught our children to sign when they were toddlers too! It was great to help with communication frustrations. Be sure to include Yes, No, please, thank you & sorry. When they were older I found myself signing to them from across a room and they still knew it. If I wanted to prompt them to say thank you or stop them from doing something I would sign no. 😄
I agree. I think everyone could benefit from learning sign language. I learned as a kid and still use it to this day, which is about 30 years now. I’ve worked with people who have disabilities and worked in public service jobs. It’s been so helpful to know some sign language to communicate to people. Like if I miss hear something, especially with all the masks these days, I can ask “I’m sorry I didn’t hear you. Did you say b or d?”and hold up a b/d in sign language. Whether they know sign language or not, they get it and can respond. It helps a lot with clarifications. I’ve also used it at a loud bar to sign “water” to the bartenders, or to my friends in loud places - “hey, I’m going to the bathroom.” I taught my friends some key phrases and it’s so nice to be able to communicate to them from across the room.
My daughter taught my granddaughter to sign went she was a baby. It was so cute to see little Beautiful Samantha Grace sign more. It bought back sweet memories. My granddaughter is 20 and married now.❤️😍❤️
I'm in zone 9b. I have coffee with you every morning and miss our coffee time on weekends. Lol I would love to see some 9b gardening tips but realize that is not your thing. Just keep doing what you are doing because you guys are wonderful and you keep me so inspired. Love your entire family!
I’m in 9b as well and really into California Native plants and I still watch and enjoy Garden Answer everyday ! I get excited when she mentions a plant that’s good for my zone 😀
I'm a BIG fan and am in zone 8b. I know I cannot plant many of the same plants as yours, but you always offer so much more information about raised beds, insect control, trellises, house plants, and so much more. I love your sweet family, and the interaction with Aaron. I will always watch you, no matter the zone! Thank you for the enthusiasm you bring to our lives.
That so funny about the end and those crazy videos about you two.. I just saw one this past week and I was yelling at my phone! “Liar!!” “You don’t even know a single thing about them!” Feeling like someone was talking bad about my family or something! Because I know this is weird but you guys and your channel ARE like family to me. I adore you both and the kids and the plants and the properties and the trees! It gives me a sense of calm and peace inside like “every little thing is going to be alright” when your video comes on! I don’t really know how to thank someone that I’ve never met in real life for that … but thank you both, so very much. 🙏🏼😊♥️
I can't thank you enough for doing these weekly recap videos. So many of my questions get answered. I know we all appreciate it so much. 2nd...regarding those channels that talk about you, let them say what they will. Don't let it get to you. Those of of us who watch your channel regularly don't really care about how much you make or your viewership. Well, we care but not like they might think. You 2 deserve all that you get and more. Thank you for creating your videos and sharing your knowledge about gardening, your family and life. I wish health, happiness and 100x more than they say you make...lol. 💗
I'm zone 5 and searched for shows/those with a close zone so I could learn more. That you were in a 5/6 zone had me start to watch years ago. Your my favorite! Been watching for 6 yrs or so. So many garden shows are higher zones & they show so many things that won't work in my area I have trouble relating. I've learned so much from you & I've expanded my garden areas. Tore out a section of my front yard & created a garden bed - it's completely transformed because of your inspiration. Thank you!!!
Good Day GA family. I've not missed a video in the 2 years I've been following this channel. Thank you for having this weekly update and sharing your wisdom and content.
I just love watching you two interact💚you guys are so funny and always make me laugh. Especially when Aaron gives some sass🤣you guys are the best. Many blessings to all the GA family.
Hello from Athens Greece, zone 9-10 depends of the year. I watch your channel for 6 years now and you are sooooo inspiring although I have balcony and no garden. I still learn a lot and dream even more. Thank you
I love your videos and live in Florida zone 10, even though we are in higher zones we love to see what you plant in container gardens and your great ideas. Watch every day!
Yes! Binged all 8 years of the videos in 2021! Total addict from my 9b garden! Have to disagree with Aaron, we watch not just to mimic, but because of the overall inspiration and energy Laura brings to her craft!
I'm in zone 9 and follow you !! Really gardening is gardening I think. When plants make you happy you appreciate someone like YOU!! We are blessed with such a long growing season . Your suggestions and plans are amazing. Heat index ratings are super important to us. I am trying to get a watering system set up this year because your gardens are so inspiring. Thanks so much!!
I have great success planting bare root trees here in the Midwest. Many nurseries (and a few charitable organizations) here offer sizable bare root trees (8 feet +) in early spring. The trees are dormant and it is a joy to plant them. The main issue is that the window to plant them is very small and you need to plant them immediately. One of the nurseries here that sells them pots up what they don’t sell and sell them for considerably more as a containerized tree a couple months later.
I was about to comment that i saw on one of your videos that you are planting a bare root tree much taller than you, and i think you had showed a follow of that tree doing well.
I am trying to get some fruit trees and wanted potted but the nursery was pushing the bareroot saying the caliper is an inch... But I am wanting to plant bigger since we should have done this 20 years ago. (But we were still building the house and landscaping would have changed many times already. Long comment to say very little 🤣)
Getting ready for Church but, First Laura and Aaron the Best Garden Couple duo in TH-cam land ! Happy Sunday Garden Answer Family May God Bless You with love,warmth and happiness in your hearts 💕 🙏🏼💕
One of my absolute favorite thing you say is "It'll just be an experiment!" As a new gardener this is the message I need to hear to be brave enough to just try stuff and figure out what works and what doesn't! Thank you so much!
I am in zone 9b and have been watching you for a few years. I am able to get a lot of the same plants you plant and they thrive here in Florida. I have transformed my front yard. We put up a picket fence, new lawn and created new beds and containers. Love your videos and next time I will submit my before and after pictures
The south is difficult in its own way. Intense heat and humidity like no other. I garden in a pure sand soil in NC, but an hour north it’s hard red clay, and then 2 hours west it’s mountains and that’s a whole different environment. The conditions are just drastically different from one county to another. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. It makes for gorgeous car rides with vastly different landscapes and plants.
@@AttnDefDis_ We moved from central Ohio to coastal North Carolina 20 years ago. Our winter is a couple months long so we enjoy most of the year and spend a lot of time inside during the heat of summer. We can drive 6 hours to the mountains for cooler weather and snow or a half hour to the beach for a cooler breeze during the heat. Not that bad living here. 😉
I have lived on the NC coast all my life. I know our growing conditions and push the limits just to see if I can do it. I have lost trees and shrubs to hurricanes. But we almost never have snow and I have no idea how people live with snow on the ground throughout most of the winter. We have winter days that are 30 followed by several days of 60 degrees.
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️. I’m so excited for the truckload of trees 🌲 🌳 you selected 🙌🏻. I’m guessing you’ll be renting that giant auger 🤷🏼♀️. So exciting! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
50% of the trees I’ve planted in our yard came as bare root, typically 4-6 feet tall when they go in the ground. All of the fruit trees I purchased have been bare root. They are typically more cost effective and seem to establish just fine. You are right though, most garden centers won’t offer bare root. I have purchased all of mine through online resources that ship. The roots usually arrive wrapped in wet newspaper shreds. I typically soak the roots in water before planting. The bare roots do need to be planted right away or trenched in, so one down side compared to pots if you can’t plant right away.
@@mindydiaz9015 Depends on the growth rate of the tree. If you’re in a colder zone, your tree is still dormant right now and won’t show any growth until weather warms, and they leaf out. Be patient with trees though. It can take a year or two for some trees to start putting on faster growth. Their first year in the ground is most stressful while they are accommodating to their new home and the roots are getting established. Keep it well watered during the hot months, and it should reward you in the coming years. ☺️
Heyyyy I live in NE FL zone 9 and I’ve been watching y’all for years! We have wet, wet soil and heat, but not the heat you have. 100 degrees in unusual for us. I love seeing all of the yards and ponds, but the especially the containers. I can recreate with something that grows well here. I will happily watch as long as you’re uploading content 😍
As you're working your way through the design for the the garden areas, can you take us along in a video. It would be interesting to see/hear how you think it through. What gives you inspiration (books, other TH-camrs, long standing wishlist, etc.), what your vision is, etc. I know you'll likely change your mind about an area multiple times, but it would be fun to watch you think it through. Not a how-to-design video, just a thinking-outloud video.
So nice to see you Laura & Aaron on this Sunday morning. You are such a lift to listen to. You resonate so well together. You're such an inspiration to us all. Thank you so very much.
Hi Laura and Aaron, Since I have been watching you. Over two years now my husband has been joining me in watching you all too. He even gets to where he wants to see more thanks 😊
I’m in zone 9b and I love your channel and have gotten lots of inspiration from your gardens. Yes, there are some things I cannot grow, but I can always find something with a similar shape/color/texture! One thing I have learned is to get rid of things that are not thriving or that I do not love!
Anybody else hollering over Laura and Aaron's "argument"? When Laura said, "Nuh-uh, you don't know nothing about bare root trees", I had to rewind and watch that a couple of times, because it made me laugh so much. Thanks for keeping it real, y'all. And I had no idea that "drama channels" were doing videos on you, so, of course, I had to go check it out. The first one I clicked on called you Laura La-boo-ta-leer. 😄
Yes, that's so true. I live in northern eastern Oklahoma and I'm in zone 6 like y'all. Only thing is I have high humidity. It kinda sucks. Love all your videos. I have been watching your videos since you were about 7 months pregnant with little sweet cute Benjamin. He's justa'a growing so fast. And little Samantha Grace grew way to fast. She's walking and talking and signing. Laura you and Aaron are wonderful parents. Y'all always make time for your sweet babies. Y'all are such a beautiful little family.💙❤️💙❤️
Florida, zone 9b and I watch every video. We can still lead a lot from your care on annuals and food crops. And of course, we enjoy seeing you vision come to life on your property and the garden center videos!
What a wonderful way to start the morning. Good morning from Terrytown, LA, zone 9b (New Orleans area). It’s 47 degrees, warming to 68 around noon. May try some weeding later today. Happy gardening everyone.
Love your channel's. You were still in the townhouse and didn't have but 20 or 30 thousand viewers when I started watching. I got hooked and haven't missed a video since. I am in zone 8B and still get great inspiration from your videos so please keep doing what you do. Thank you
I am in zone 9b and I watch you every single morning it is the highlight of my day . I enjoy every video you post love your sweet family. I am in awe of your garden . The first video that got me hooked was your parents garden tour . Absolutely magical!!
Always enjoy your weekly highlights with you and Aaron. You both keep things so real. Relative to a strawberry bed there are a couple of things I’d like to share with you. I have read that asparagus is an excellent companion for strawberries. After the asparagus are done the strawberries begin. I would guess the asparagus ferns would help to conceal some of the berries from the birds as well. I have a friend who tried this and it is working out well. Also, I’ve seen that some people paint small stones red and place them in the beds before the plants berry. Birds try to eat them, realize they are not food and then stay away from the real berries when they appear. The kids would probably have fun painting the stones.
@@barbaramclean5995 Best thing I ever did was buy a book on companion planting years ago. I have a small space for my vegetable garden and have always tried to grow as much as possible. I could never grow onions until I bought that book and realized it was because I was planting them near beans. Who knew! There are lists on line these days that are very helpful and tell you what to plant near what….and more importantly, what not to plant near what. I did recently buy a book for my niece who just started gardening…..Plant Partners by Jessica Wallister….less than $20 on Amazon. She’s very happy with it. I had bought “Carrots Love Tomatoes” way back when. It’s really interesting when you get into it….some things enhance the flavor or growth of other things….some plants deter pests….some things inhibit the growth of other plants. Very helpful information.
@@altheab.8907 that book carrots love tomatoes I also bought a few years back along with a companion planting book: glad to hear you mention cause I think every Gardner should have those books-good tips and so useful, I actually keep my books with my garden gloves and hand pruners so I can remember where it’s at and refer to also pest problems and timelines …great mention thank you Althea B.
@@tinaknutsen You’re quite welcome. Gardeners always like to share good info. After 30+ years my book is quite tattered. Have to keep it in a plastic bag these days. Always with my tools. Happy gardening! 😊
I so relate to Aaron’s desire to go checking out houses that are on the market! It is an inspiration, too! But I came to love our house, with quirks and all!
Zone 9 here (Northern California).... have been watching your videos for several years. Just wanted you (and Aaron) to know that even though you don't specifically aim your content at us... what you share is useful nonetheless! I get many ideas for plant choices and grouping.... and information that I never realized before! I'm sure there are lots of "us"!!!!! Thank you :)
While watching Bemjamin checking on his seeds to see if they were up, I thought about the children’s garden you built last year, and what you could do with the little ones. I bought a large bag of wildflower seeds and one of butterfly/bird mix. I scattered most of the seeds but held back enough for my neighbors’ kids. About four days before the ones I scattered started coming up, i let the kids scatter the remainder of the seed. They didn’t have too long to wait to enjoy the fruits of ‘their’ labor once the first crop of seeds popped up. Once the flowers grew i gave each child a small pair of sharp scissors ( never give kids dull scissors-the’ll cut themselves trying to use them) and allowed them to cut flowers all season long. Some days produced six lovely boquets for all of us to enjoy.
Texas gardener here! I watch daily and get inspiration even though too hot for most of the plants shown. Love your videos for ideas and information then just adapt for hot weather here😁
Hello Laura and Aaron, yes, we definitely are watching your channel from California, zone 9. Like so many of your viewer my husband and I watch first thing in the morning with our coffee. We enjoy all of your content from gardening , time spent at your parents garden center, antiquing with your Mom , creating your beautiful gardens. We have always loved working in our yard but have gained so much knowledge from you about the care of our plant trees ect and doing what you like in your own garden. I could go on and on... Please keep up the encouraging work that you do your have many viewers that love your channel. Oh yes, if anyone is thinking about ordering the Hoselink it is awesome.
I watch from a colder zone and love that your garden is ahead of me and I can watch and use you as inspiration for me with a bit of time to make it happen. (Minnesota zone 4b) thanks for the beautiful inspiration! 🌱🌼🪴
I am from Zone 9 in Central California. I watch you every daily and love you videos. While I may not be able to plant everything that you can, I get wonderful ideas and learn lots from you. Keep it up! We all love you.
I’m a zone 9a, jacksonville fl, and I watch all of your videos for advice and inspiration. You have taught me how to select plants for my zone even tho we are in completely different zones.
Hello. Watch all your videos. I’m in coastal Texas 9b … very tropical! Enjoy seeing your gardens and wish we could grow many of the beautiful plants that we see you growing!
I’m in zone 10a (So Calif.) and have been a faithful GA follower since we were sent home to work. Our “native plants” just aren’t my groove, so I love being exposed to all the gorgeous plants and flowers and just figure out which ones I can make work in my yard. Not to mention, you’re just down-to-earth and wonderful! Thanks for all of your content. I would encourage our higher zone followers to step up and submit pictures!
I just received two bare root columnar apple trees, 4' tall, shipped in skinny box wrapped in plastic with lots of soaked paper shreds. Very pleased with what I got!
Hi Laura, I'm Sue zone 9a in central Calif. And I follow you guys daily. I have learned so much from you an my husband and I are planting in our retirement he builds the planters and I fill them up
I'm in a zone 10b and love your videos. You got me back into gardening after a long depressed period. I've tried a lot of plants I see you use but It's not always suitable for my zone. This summer has been especially hard. My garden is hating the temps. !3 days over 40 (celcius) already and tons of 38's and high 30's in general. yuk.. So finding plants that are lush looking and can handle our heat has been trial and error. (western Australia)
You guys would love Biltmore estate in North Carolina. Its beautiful gardens and the massive historic home are amazing. We are only 4 hours away, have been twice and planning another visit soon. It would be fun for your followers to see your thoughts if you ever made the trip. Love both channels and sharing your gardening journey. Thank you for the great content and the always well thought delivery!
Think every gardener should try to see the Biltmore at least once. The house is amazing and gardens are just awesome. Maybe a side trip when you visit Creekside…
I just had to respond, to the videos being in the colder area. I live in California in 9A, It doesn’t bother me at that some of the plants you use I can’t use. I do not miss any of your videos,. Love watching you and your enthusiasm about what ever you are do.
To answer one of your questions, I absolutely am subscribed to you, principally, because we share the same planting zone. Prior to discovering your channel in 2016, I was unable to find any garden channel on TH-cam that wasn't zone 7 or higher. I had become discouraged and was about to give up when - thankfully - you purchased the new property and everything changed. 🥰
Yes!!! Her zone is what had me start watching - her relaxed, positive personality and knowledge had me hooked. I've learned so much & an greatful that a colder zone can be beautifully planted. I struggled with the other shows because they featured so many things I can't grow here.
When we plant in hot weather, we pop a bushel basket over the plant for 24-48 hours and it allows it to settle in. This works great to avoid that wilt and stress
When we moved bees from. One orchard to next for spring pollination, we had to make sure at least 5 miles in move. Otherwise they'd go right back to previous orchard. We did more then that because of that was livelihood and farmers counted on us.
Sorry Aaron I'm in south Georgia and I love watching and learning from you guys but also when I need to know about what I can plant I go to Jenny and Jerry but yeah you and Laura teach me about seed sowing and other things love ya'll have a wonderful day
I am in 8b zone and find so much inspiration from your content!! I always want to ask if you have any garden friends in or around my area though. I have looked, there are not any that I can find doing what you do around in Texas. You are one of a kind! 💕
I have been following you for years……… I am in a zone 9! I live in Scottsdale Arizona and find my joy through you and your videos, even though I live in the desert. I have gained so much information from you on succulents and your beautiful “Garden Answers” information. Thank you!
So jealous that you snow is almost gone. Still white and frozen here! Keep showing all the beautiful things… while we wait for the green to return! Thank you!
Hey guys! What about doing a video series of specific zones? Like one video of zone 3, then zone 4 and so on… Then people would see what they could get in their own zones. Maybe next winter when it’s not as busy for you and you are looking for extra content? Love you guys! 🥰
Speaking of zones, I am watching you, but ama from Netherlands zone 9b. But I can adapt your Informations to my zone easily. I mean and I am surely not the only one who lives in completely different zone and area and with your advices our garden is thriving now 🙏🙂
Your channel totally inspire us California zone 9b viewers. I've been watching a couple of years now and love all the information and seeing the beautiful flower beds. Thank you for your channel.
I'm so glad you brought up that they changed the zones 2 years ago. I used to be 7b, but last year and this year, we've moved to a 6b. 🤣I thought I had lost my mind.
Oh really, you went down a zone? I’m in Ontario Canada and we went from being a 5 to a 6 a number of years ago. I didn’t know anyone was getting colder. May I ask where you are?
@@erindewan6758 northwest corner of Arkansas. Our winters have gotten more intense, and more wet. We've already had snow three times this winter and we used to only get snow in Feb- March. We are currently in one of many "false" spring seasons, it's supposed to be 70 tomorrow! And ice and snowing on Thursday andFriday.
South Louisiana here and I watch y’all everyday!! Yes we have different plants that we plant ,we still can plant some of the same plants you plant. I love seeing all the plants that we can’t plant here. Plus you and your family are a simple joy that I love to watch!!
P Allen Smith has a segment on his shows/videos where people send him pictures of their front yards and he gives suggestions. He is also inspiring just as you are! Thank you for all you teach us Laura!
My husband agrees with Aaron. He used to live going to Best Buy and Canada Computers to browse. Now he sends me to pick up his online orders 😄 we went a few weeks ago in person, did one loop around the store and left. Just didn't feel the same... also, the bare root bit was hilarious 😄
“You don’t know nothin’ about bare root.” Got a great laugh out of your and Aaron’s bare root discussion. Thank you so much for your videos and just being yourselves.
I got such a kick out of them too!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Agree!!! :)
So funny!!!!!
...Aaron comes back next week as as THE "Bare Root Aficionados..."
🤣
😆
Love to watch you two. You remind me of my daughter and her husband and their relationship- the way you are so easy with each other

I for one am aware of the limitations of what you can grow depending on location. “Zones” are just one aspect of the number of variables that make a difference. Elevation, high summer heat, humidity, soil types, length of growing season, micro climates, plus other variable make a difference. The things I do in a new unfamiliar location: drive or walk around the area where there are established yards and gardens and take notes at what things seem to do well for neighbors. All the better if the gardener is out working and ask questions. Or a good local garden center is a great resource for advice. Also if there is an extension agency ( sometimes affiliated with a college). Then it ultimately comes down to trial and error. 💚💚💚
My extension office is incredible. Took a class one year and can send pics for identification. They also offer soil testing. Great tip!

I just saw one this past week and I was yelling at my phone! “Liar!!” “You don’t even know a single thing about them!” Feeling like someone was talking bad about my family or something! Because I know this is weird but you guys and your channel ARE like family to me. I adore you both and the kids and the plants and the properties and the trees! It gives me a sense of calm and peace inside like “every little thing is going to be alright” when your video comes on! I don’t really know how to thank someone that I’ve never met in real life for that … but thank you both, so very much. 🙏🏼😊♥️
I can't thank you enough for doing these weekly recap videos. So many of my questions get answered. I know we all appreciate it so much. 2nd...regarding those channels that talk about you, let them say what they will. Don't let it get to you. Those of of us who watch your channel regularly don't really care about how much you make or your viewership. Well, we care but not like they might think. You 2 deserve all that you get and more. Thank you for creating your videos and sharing your knowledge about gardening, your family and life. I wish health, happiness and 100x more than they say you make...lol. 💗
I'm zone 5 and searched for shows/those with a close zone so I could learn more. That you were in a 5/6 zone had me start to watch years ago. Your my favorite! Been watching for 6 yrs or so. So many garden shows are higher zones & they show so many things that won't work in my area I have trouble relating. I've learned so much from you & I've expanded my garden areas. Tore out a section of my front yard & created a garden bed - it's completely transformed because of your inspiration. Thank you!!!
Good Day GA family. I've not missed a video in the 2 years I've been following this channel. Thank you for having this weekly update and sharing your wisdom and content.
SAME! Hahahahaha and rewatch multiple Times! Love G.A.‼️🤍
I just love watching you two interact💚you guys are so funny and always make me laugh. Especially when Aaron gives some sass🤣you guys are the best. Many blessings to all the GA family.
Hello from Athens Greece, zone 9-10 depends of the year. I watch your channel for 6 years now and you are sooooo inspiring although I have balcony and no garden. I still learn a lot and dream even more. Thank you
I love your videos and live in Florida zone 10, even though we are in higher zones we love to see what you plant in container gardens and your great ideas. Watch every day!
Same, I’m in 9b in California and watch daily for inspiration.
Me too. I am also I South Florida(Palm Beach Gardens)and enjoy watching every day!!
Same, Zone 9 Texas. We watch every day.
Yes! Binged all 8 years of the videos in 2021! Total addict from my 9b garden! Have to disagree with Aaron, we watch not just to mimic, but because of the overall inspiration and energy Laura brings to her craft!
But I agree that most of your viewers are zone 4-7. Similar enough climate for your plant choices to be familiar to us
I'm in zone 9 and follow you !! Really gardening is gardening I think. When plants make you happy you appreciate someone like YOU!! We are blessed with such a long growing season . Your suggestions and plans are amazing. Heat index ratings are super important to us. I am trying to get a watering system set up this year because your gardens are so inspiring. Thanks so much!!
I have great success planting bare root trees here in the Midwest. Many nurseries (and a few charitable organizations) here offer sizable bare root trees (8 feet +) in early spring. The trees are dormant and it is a joy to plant them. The main issue is that the window to plant them is very small and you need to plant them immediately. One of the nurseries here that sells them pots up what they don’t sell and sell them for considerably more as a containerized tree a couple months later.
I was about to comment that i saw on one of your videos that you are planting a bare root tree much taller than you, and i think you had showed a follow of that tree doing well.
Any recs on charitable orgs to get trees from in SE WI?
Another benefit of bare root is that you don’t need to root wash/prune ;-)
I am trying to get some fruit trees and wanted potted but the nursery was pushing the bareroot saying the caliper is an inch... But I am wanting to plant bigger since we should have done this 20 years ago. (But we were still building the house and landscaping would have changed many times already. Long comment to say very little 🤣)
Getting ready for Church but, First Laura and Aaron the Best Garden Couple duo in TH-cam land ! Happy Sunday Garden Answer Family May God Bless You with love,warmth and happiness in your hearts 💕 🙏🏼💕
ALW. I watch this before church also.
! Love the repartee between you and Aaron, so entertaining!
One of my absolute favorite thing you say is "It'll just be an experiment!" As a new gardener this is the message I need to hear to be brave enough to just try stuff and figure out what works and what doesn't! Thank you so much!
I am in zone 9b and have been watching you for a few years. I am able to get a lot of the same plants you plant and they thrive here in Florida. I have transformed my front yard. We put up a picket fence, new lawn and created new beds and containers. Love your videos and next time I will submit my before and after pictures
I'd love to see these
Yes!!! 🙌🏼
Hi neighbor! I'm zone 9b close to Tampa, FL! Same here, I'm addicted to her videos and have gotten a lot of inspiration for my own gardens.
Love how you two interact and like how logical Aaron’s comments are he is just great!! You two so compliment each other!!❤️
This is my Sunday morning therapy. ❤️

The south is difficult in its own way. Intense heat and humidity like no other. I garden in a pure sand soil in NC, but an hour north it’s hard red clay, and then 2 hours west it’s mountains and that’s a whole different environment. The conditions are just drastically different from one county to another. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. It makes for gorgeous car rides with vastly different landscapes and plants.
Take the good with the bad and find perfection in between 👌
I totally agree, I am in Central Florida and it's very hard to find beautiful plants that can thrive in the heat of summer.
I don't know how you guys do it. I'm in the midwest and our humidity is bad, but I couldn't handle the southern weather. Oof.
@@AttnDefDis_ We moved from central Ohio to coastal North Carolina 20 years ago. Our winter is a couple months long so we enjoy most of the year and spend a lot of time inside during the heat of summer. We can drive 6 hours to the mountains for cooler weather and snow or a half hour to the beach for a cooler breeze during the heat. Not that bad living here. 😉
I have lived on the NC coast all my life. I know our growing conditions and push the limits just to see if I can do it. I have lost trees and shrubs to hurricanes. But we almost never have snow and I have no idea how people live with snow on the ground throughout most of the winter. We have winter days that are 30 followed by several days of 60 degrees.
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️. I’m so excited for the truckload of trees 🌲 🌳 you selected 🙌🏻. I’m guessing you’ll be renting that giant auger 🤷🏼♀️. So exciting! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Just got my coffee and am watching my favorite people. Happy Sunday🌸🌸🌸
50% of the trees I’ve planted in our yard came as bare root, typically 4-6 feet tall when they go in the ground. All of the fruit trees I purchased have been bare root. They are typically more cost effective and seem to establish just fine. You are right though, most garden centers won’t offer bare root. I have purchased all of mine through online resources that ship. The roots usually arrive wrapped in wet newspaper shreds. I typically soak the roots in water before planting. The bare roots do need to be planted right away or trenched in, so one down side compared to pots if you can’t plant right away.
How long does it take you to see growth on your bareroots? I hate bareroots but tried some like 2 weeks ago? And I have zero growth.
@@mindydiaz9015 Depends on the growth rate of the tree. If you’re in a colder zone, your tree is still dormant right now and won’t show any growth until weather warms, and they leaf out. Be patient with trees though. It can take a year or two for some trees to start putting on faster growth. Their first year in the ground is most stressful while they are accommodating to their new home and the roots are getting established. Keep it well watered during the hot months, and it should reward you in the coming years. ☺️
All of the Roses I bought through a catalog, comes bare roots but I always ordered for Spring time ,with a lot of success,
I really enjoy seeing your hubby on these videos. what you do is definitely a team effort
When you wake up on your birthday to a coffee and a wonderful long recap video! Great start!
Happy birthday!!🎈🎊🎂
🎂🎊💃🌷🌷
Thanks for the recap!!! Even after watching all the videos I always hear something I missed 😂
Heyyyy I live in NE FL zone 9 and I’ve been watching y’all for years! We have wet, wet soil and heat, but not the heat you have. 100 degrees in unusual for us. I love seeing all of the yards and ponds, but the especially the containers. I can recreate with something that grows well here. I will happily watch as long as you’re uploading content 😍
As you're working your way through the design for the the garden areas, can you take us along in a video. It would be interesting to see/hear how you think it through. What gives you inspiration (books, other TH-camrs, long standing wishlist, etc.), what your vision is, etc. I know you'll likely change your mind about an area multiple times, but it would be fun to watch you think it through. Not a how-to-design video, just a thinking-outloud video.
So nice to see you Laura & Aaron on this Sunday morning. You are such a lift to listen to. You resonate so well together. You're such an inspiration to us all.
Thank you so very much.
I’m zone 9B and I watch you every morning 👍🏼🥰🌱
Hi Laura and Aaron, Since I have been watching you. Over two years now my husband has been joining me in watching you all too. He even gets to where he wants to see more thanks 😊
I’m in zone 9b and I love your channel and have gotten lots of inspiration from your gardens. Yes, there are some things I cannot grow, but I can always find something with a similar shape/color/texture! One thing I have learned is to get rid of things that are not thriving or that I do not love!
Anybody else hollering over Laura and Aaron's "argument"? When Laura said, "Nuh-uh, you don't know nothing about bare root trees", I had to rewind and watch that a couple of times, because it made me laugh so much. Thanks for keeping it real, y'all. And I had no idea that "drama channels" were doing videos on you, so, of course, I had to go check it out. The first one I clicked on called you Laura La-boo-ta-leer. 😄
I also LOL’d when Laura said that! & those crazy channels are just nuts!
Yes, that's so true. I live in northern eastern Oklahoma and I'm in zone 6 like y'all. Only thing is I have high humidity. It kinda sucks. Love all your videos. I have been watching your videos since you were about 7 months pregnant with little sweet cute Benjamin. He's justa'a growing so fast. And little Samantha Grace grew way to fast. She's walking and talking and signing. Laura you and Aaron are wonderful parents. Y'all always make time for your sweet babies. Y'all are such a beautiful little family.💙❤️💙❤️
Florida, zone 9b and I watch every video. We can still lead a lot from your care on annuals and food crops. And of course, we enjoy seeing you vision come to life on your property and the garden center videos!
What a wonderful way to start the morning. Good morning from Terrytown, LA, zone 9b (New Orleans area). It’s 47 degrees, warming to 68 around noon. May try some weeding later today. Happy gardening everyone.
Love your channel's. You were still in the townhouse and didn't have but 20 or 30 thousand viewers when I started watching. I got hooked and haven't missed a video since. I am in zone 8B and still get great inspiration from your videos so please keep doing what you do. Thank you
No I’m in Baton Rouge zone 9 and I watch your videos daily and love them.
Have a blessed morning everyone.
I am in zone 9b and I watch you every single morning it is the highlight of my day . I enjoy every video you post love your sweet family. I am in awe of your garden . The first video that got me hooked was your parents garden tour . Absolutely magical!!
Always enjoy your weekly highlights with you and Aaron. You both keep things so real. Relative to a strawberry bed there are a couple of things I’d like to share with you. I have read that asparagus is an excellent companion for strawberries. After the asparagus are done the strawberries begin. I would guess the asparagus ferns would help to conceal some of the berries from the birds as well. I have a friend who tried this and it is working out well. Also, I’ve seen that some people paint small stones red and place them in the beds before the plants berry. Birds try to eat them, realize they are not food and then stay away from the real berries when they appear. The kids would probably have fun painting the stones.
Thanks for sharing those ideas...never would have landed on that combination on my own! Have a great day! 🍀
Those are some great tips! I especially like the idea of fooling the birds 🤣🤣
@@barbaramclean5995
Best thing I ever did was buy a book on companion planting years ago. I have a small space for my vegetable garden and have always tried to grow as much as possible. I could never grow onions until I bought that book and realized it was because I was planting them near beans. Who knew! There are lists on line these days that are very helpful and tell you what to plant near what….and more importantly, what not to plant near what. I did recently buy a book for my niece who just started gardening…..Plant Partners by Jessica Wallister….less than $20 on Amazon. She’s very happy with it. I had bought “Carrots Love Tomatoes” way back when. It’s really interesting when you get into it….some things enhance the flavor or growth of other things….some plants deter pests….some things inhibit the growth of other plants. Very helpful information.
@@altheab.8907 that book carrots love tomatoes I also bought a few years back along with a companion planting book: glad to hear you mention cause I think every Gardner should have those books-good tips and so useful, I actually keep my books with my garden gloves and hand pruners so I can remember where it’s at and refer to also pest problems and timelines …great mention thank you Althea B.
@@tinaknutsen You’re quite welcome. Gardeners always like to share good info. After 30+ years my book is quite tattered. Have to keep it in a plastic bag these days. Always with my tools. Happy gardening! 😊
Glad to hear the floor will be going in soon in the Hartley, just can't wait to see that space utilized. Will be gorgeous!
Good morning! I love the interaction between you and Aaron. Always love the recap videos.
Aaron I love going into open houses too! When you and Laura get a chance to do so, let us know how it goes!
We purchased several bare root trees from Stark Bros....they arrived at about 5' tall and grew beautifully.
I so relate to Aaron’s desire to go checking out houses that are on the market! It is an inspiration, too! But I came to love our house, with quirks and all!
Zone 9 here. Been watching you for awhile now. I can’t miss a show. Plenty of inspiration n ideas from you.
Zone 9 here (Northern California).... have been watching your videos for several years. Just wanted you (and Aaron) to know that even though you don't specifically aim your content at us... what you share is useful nonetheless! I get many ideas for plant choices and grouping.... and information that I never realized before! I'm sure there are lots of "us"!!!!! Thank you :)
Isn’t it amazing how people from all over the world (Cyprus!!) love your channel and you both!!
Love your zone system. Started using your zone system last summer and it made my garden life sooooo easy.
While watching Bemjamin checking on his seeds to see if they were up, I thought about the children’s garden you built last year, and what you could do with the little ones. I bought a large bag of wildflower seeds and one of butterfly/bird mix. I scattered most of the seeds but held back enough for my neighbors’ kids. About four days before the ones I scattered started coming up, i let the kids scatter the remainder of the seed. They didn’t have too long to wait to enjoy the fruits of ‘their’ labor once the first crop of seeds popped up. Once the flowers grew i gave each child a small pair of sharp scissors ( never give kids dull scissors-the’ll cut themselves trying to use them) and allowed them to cut flowers all season long. Some days produced six lovely boquets for all of us to enjoy.
Texas gardener here! I watch daily and get inspiration even though too hot for most of the plants shown. Love your videos for ideas and information then just adapt for hot weather here😁
Hello Laura and Aaron, yes, we definitely are watching your channel from California, zone 9. Like so many of your viewer my husband and I watch first thing in the morning with our coffee. We enjoy all of your content from gardening , time spent at your parents garden center, antiquing with your Mom , creating your beautiful gardens. We have always loved working in our yard but have gained so much knowledge from you about the care of our plant trees ect and doing what you like in your own garden. I could go on and on... Please keep up the encouraging work that you do your have many viewers that love your channel. Oh yes, if anyone is thinking about ordering the Hoselink it is awesome.
I watch from a colder zone and love that your garden is ahead of me and I can watch and use you as inspiration for me with a bit of time to make it happen. (Minnesota zone 4b) thanks for the beautiful inspiration! 🌱🌼🪴
I am from Zone 9 in Central California. I watch you every daily and love you videos. While I may not be able to plant everything that you can, I get wonderful ideas and learn lots from you. Keep it up! We all love you.
I’m zone 12, I watch to see all the pretty things I can’t grow but you can!
I love watching you and Aaron banter back and forth. The bare root conversation was so funny!!
I’m a zone 9a, jacksonville fl, and I watch all of your videos for advice and inspiration. You have taught me how to select plants for my zone even tho we are in completely different zones.
Hello. Watch all your videos. I’m in coastal Texas 9b … very tropical! Enjoy seeing your gardens and wish we could grow many of the beautiful plants that we see you growing!
I’m in zone 10a (So Calif.) and have been a faithful GA follower since we were sent home to work. Our “native plants” just aren’t my groove, so I love being exposed to all the gorgeous plants and flowers and just figure out which ones I can make work in my yard. Not to mention, you’re just down-to-earth and wonderful! Thanks for all of your content. I would encourage our higher zone followers to step up and submit pictures!
I just received two bare root columnar apple trees, 4' tall, shipped in skinny box wrapped in plastic with lots of soaked paper shreds. Very pleased with what I got!
OMG..you two Crack me up!
In the best way. As always, looking forward to your next video.
Hi Laura, I'm Sue zone 9a in central Calif. And I follow you guys daily. I have learned so much from you an my husband and I are planting in our retirement he builds the planters and I fill them up
I love that Aaron is chatting with you more in these. Totally cracking up over your bareroot exchange. 😂 You two are great!
I'm in a zone 10b and love your videos. You got me back into gardening after a long depressed period. I've tried a lot of plants I see you use but It's not always suitable for my zone. This summer has been especially hard. My garden is hating the temps. !3 days over 40 (celcius) already and tons of 38's and high 30's in general. yuk.. So finding plants that are lush looking and can handle our heat has been trial and error. (western Australia)
You guys would love Biltmore estate in North Carolina. Its beautiful gardens and the massive historic home are amazing. We are only 4 hours away, have been twice and planning another visit soon. It would be fun for your followers to see your thoughts if you ever made the trip. Love both channels and sharing your gardening journey. Thank you for the great content and the always well thought delivery!
Think every gardener should try to see the Biltmore at least once. The house is amazing and gardens are just awesome. Maybe a side trip when you visit Creekside…
I just had to respond, to the videos being in the colder area. I live in California in 9A, It doesn’t bother me at that some of the plants you use I can’t use. I do not miss any of your videos,. Love watching you and your enthusiasm about what ever you are do.
To answer one of your questions, I absolutely am subscribed to you, principally, because we share the same planting zone. Prior to discovering your channel in 2016, I was unable to find any garden channel on TH-cam that wasn't zone 7 or higher. I had become discouraged and was about to give up when - thankfully - you purchased the new property and everything changed. 🥰
Yes!!! Her zone is what had me start watching - her relaxed, positive personality and knowledge had me hooked. I've learned so much & an greatful that a colder zone can be beautifully planted. I struggled with the other shows because they featured so many things I can't grow here.
When we plant in hot weather, we pop a bushel basket over the plant for 24-48 hours and it allows it to settle in. This works great to avoid that wilt and stress
When we moved bees from. One orchard to next for spring pollination, we had to make sure at least 5 miles in move. Otherwise they'd go right back to previous orchard. We did more then that because of that was livelihood and farmers counted on us.
We are in 9a in Northern CA. Follow you as well as Jenny in North Carolina. You are an inspiration and guide everyone along the way.
I always enjoy the interchange between you two now that Aaron has begun being on these recaps. You have a lovely relationship.
Right! I love the breaking of the Forth -Wall that they Do! It seem more I seems much more intimate :))
I love the banter on the bare root trees, its great to see you two interact. Such a great couple!
Sorry Aaron I'm in south Georgia and I love watching and learning from you guys but also when I need to know about what I can plant I go to Jenny and Jerry but yeah you and Laura teach me about seed sowing and other things love ya'll have a wonderful day
I love going to open houses for expensive houses I will never be able to afford. It’s fun to just imagine it’s your house for the day 😆
got my new computer yesterday & this video looks AMAZING! Thank you for a full week of videos this week!
I am in 8b zone and find so much inspiration from your content!! I always want to ask if you have any garden friends in or around my area though. I have looked, there are not any that I can find doing what you do around in Texas. You are one of a kind! 💕
Good Evening from Perth, Western Australia. Enjoy your Sunday over there, we’re done 😜
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON! Thank you for all you do!🎂
Zone 9 Southeast Texas, and we watch every day.
Thank you for recognizing those of us who are cold from November to May!!!
I have been following you for years……… I am in a zone 9! I live in Scottsdale Arizona and find my joy through you and your videos, even though I live in the desert. I have gained so much information from you on succulents and your beautiful “Garden Answers” information. Thank you!
So jealous that you snow is almost gone. Still white and frozen here! Keep showing all the beautiful things… while we wait for the green to return! Thank you!
Hey guys! What about doing a video series of specific zones? Like one video of zone 3, then zone 4 and so on… Then people would see what they could get in their own zones. Maybe next winter when it’s not as busy for you and you are looking for extra content? Love you guys! 🥰
Love your videos can’t wait to see what you do around the Hartley and front of house
Speaking of zones, I am watching you, but ama from Netherlands zone 9b. But I can adapt your Informations to my zone easily. I mean and I am surely not the only one who lives in completely different zone and area and with your advices our garden is thriving now 🙏🙂
Your channel totally inspire
us California zone 9b viewers. I've been watching a couple of years now and love all the information and seeing the beautiful flower beds. Thank you for your channel.
I'm so glad you brought up that they changed the zones 2 years ago. I used to be 7b, but last year and this year, we've moved to a 6b. 🤣I thought I had lost my mind.
Oh really, you went down a zone? I’m in Ontario Canada and we went from being a 5 to a 6 a number of years ago. I didn’t know anyone was getting colder. May I ask where you are?
@@erindewan6758 northwest corner of Arkansas. Our winters have gotten more intense, and more wet. We've already had snow three times this winter and we used to only get snow in Feb- March. We are currently in one of many "false" spring seasons, it's supposed to be 70 tomorrow! And ice and snowing on Thursday andFriday.
@@amandabottoms1 that’s very interesting, and thankyou for your response. I hope you and your plants adapt well! God bless!
I am another Florida 9B long time subscriber. I believe about 90% of your plants do well here in Central Florida.
My great grand’s signed regularly. More is so precious. Samantha was so adorable on her Dad’s shoulders signing. Little imp.
South Louisiana here and I watch y’all everyday!! Yes we have different plants that we plant ,we still can plant some of the same plants you plant. I love seeing all the plants that we can’t plant here. Plus you and your family are a simple joy that I love to watch!!
P Allen Smith has a segment on his shows/videos where people send him pictures of their front yards and he gives suggestions. He is also inspiring just as you are! Thank you for all you teach us Laura!
My husband agrees with Aaron. He used to live going to Best Buy and Canada Computers to browse. Now he sends me to pick up his online orders 😄 we went a few weeks ago in person, did one loop around the store and left. Just didn't feel the same... also, the bare root bit was hilarious 😄
