I appreciate when Arron gets up super close to the plant when you are describing the plant so that viewer can actually see the true color of the plants along with the true texture of the plant. You did that in this video and what a difference it made for us viewer to actually see the plant up close as you talk about the plant. :) thank you both. Love your channel!
Oh Laura being a perennial gardener myself I know how incredibly hard you work and I’ve watched you since you were in your townhouse. To see you walking through these gardens and able to share your vision “in the flesh” almost chokes me up! God Bless You and Aaron and your sweet family❤️I can’t wait to watch you each morning while eating my breakfast😁You make my day🙏🏻
So the Mosquitoes love our middle daughter. They were up at the lake this last weekend. I'm not sure about her measurements, but she took a spray bottle. And put in vanilla extract and a little bit of cinnamon in it. And sprayed herself with it, not one mosquito bite. She said she used vanilla extract and just as strong as you want the smell.
That’s interesting! Vanilla extract. Oh, the mosquitos go for dark color clothing, I read this recently so wearing lighter color clothing helps, too? Also, a mosquito only lives for 4 days unless they bite and feed, then they live 100 days! Heck if I could only quadruple my years with super powers like that, I’d bite someone, too. 😂
Lavender is also a good deterrent for mosquitoes. I make an oil with lavender and argan oil to put in our hair or on our skin to make the mosquitoes go away.
A wonderful 1 hour garden tour! I know that Laura prefers to wear mostly black tops for reasons she’s already discussed, but it’s so nice to see her come out of her comfort zone and wear khaki, very au-TUM- nal blouse! 🌿🌿
I am smiling so much after viewing your summer videos! Has anyone else noticed the playful editing? It's an uplifting bonus to enjoy with my cup of coffee!
I can’t believe how beautiful everything looks despite your hot temperatures. You have made me a fan of grasses now. I love where you have planted them. Everything is beautiful! How about a tree tour/update?
wow... remember when it was a moonscape??? just amazing!! thank you for braving the skeeters and the smoke to do this tour!! can't wait to see how the cut flower garden change will look!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
It's nice to see the good and the needing attention! With your wonderful help, I don't feel so bad when I see something needing attention in my garden.
I am SOOOO AMAZED at the transformation of your property! You have done so much this season and you're not even done ! So exciting. I'm also happy to know that you struggle keeping up with maintaining the gardens like the rest of us do! lol. Looking forward to next month!
39:50 LOL even the guys on the roof had to stop and look at all the flowers! They were probably struck by all the beauty of the garden! Id be lookin too! Blessings from Ontario Canada :)
Hey there! The garden looks phenomenal! I wasn't sure about the mixed styles of formal and cottage look, but the result is just fantastic. I know you have years ahead before the whole place gets the look you are after and all the areas are full, but my Lord it looks like a dream. The kiddos are lucky to have this space to call home and enjoy their best carefree years.
Visiting my son in Central New York, and during my morning walk, I say “Oh, Laura has one of those and one of these! Being from Houston, all theses plants are new for me! Thanks so much for your sharing of your beautiful gardens and family!
New Gardner in Ohio: Here I sit enjoying the September tour. I have started a plant list as we go around the garden. I can write each plant with information of interest. To put into the garden of next year. Thank you Laura for all you do.
Any of the southern gardeners out there I want you to know to not feel discouraged when you see these beautiful landscapes. Our heat is brutal and our plants are melting. Just have faith. The cooler nights are coming with the fall. We’ve been in the 90s at night time but now we’re slowly getting into the 80s at night. A few flowers are starting to show back up from what is left from the heat. Despite multiple drip watering zones and what not the heat is brutal. Our nights are relentless, but us gardeners have faith!
Laura, it looks fantastic. The garden is never a finished project, but it's still being tinkered with, and that's the most beautiful thing about it. I'm also going to plant at least three pieces and not just one piece. Roses take the most time because they need to be cut all the time.
So much to take in. I will watch again because it's all so beautiful. In three years time all those trees are going to be doubled or more in size. What a difference that will create for all the landscapes at a whole. The Orchard looks amazing. Great job on that grass Aaron. Maybe you could add some of the roses there when you start to transplant them. I really can't choose a favorite area. The cut flower garden is amazing. The fountain was the perfect touch in that area. Nothing is too busy, it's all peaceful and flowing. We need that in our lives.❤
September Tour - Part 1 and 2 -- Thanks for doing your garden tour in two parts!! Fantastic and just wonderful seeing the transformation in your property from when you first moved in!! The fountain is such an amazing addition!!👍😀👋
Thanks so much 🤗whilst watching you this afternoon in Uk , it’s dull and a little chilly. I’m stuffing crochet pumpkins and making triple towers ready for next week to starts decorating, listening and seeing your beautiful garden is the perfect help I needed🥰. Take care xx xx xx
Thank you for the tours of your gardens! Very inspiring for me! I have to say that I went to a local branch of our library system and outside they had Grama Grass growing. I told my son, "I just saw this grass on a Garden Answer video!" He thought it was really cool looking. I never knew that such a unique grass existed. Now I must get some! 😀
AMAZING TOUR, I felt like I was walking right along with you. Such beautiful plants, flowers, trees. I agree about day lillies I will not be planting in the future. I will get some chitalpa, love the fragrant flowers. I bet Aaron would have loved a taste of the berries and grapes. Laura & Aaron Thank you so much for all the beauty you have created. ❤❤❤❤
Gorgeous garden, Laura! Thank you both for the tour! I am looking forward to the retooling the south garden and the dream stream and the rest 😉 So exciting! Since I can't move as well at the moment and I have all the plans for my garden which I can't do myself and need to wait for others to help, Garden Answer is how I fill my gardening cup! Love you guys! Blessings 🙏🏻💕🤗💕
The Totem Pole grasses are more stunning then even in years past! Such a fantastic blue color. And the Marshmallow Bidens are such a perfect plant!❤ Everything is sensational, Aaron and Laura!❤
I love the Totem Pole grass. The only place I've ever found them for sale in my area was at Lowe's two years ago, and they only had one, which I grabbed. I always have my eye out for more!
Sunflowers would look great behind your little red storage barn to let just exist and then in the autumn the birds would have all those seeds, plus it give color back there and something pretty for neighbors to view.
Would still love to see the dirt lands and additional new spaces even if only end of video drone. It’s so wonderful going back to watch these tour videos from each year in comparison to where the trees and plants are now. The trees in the original dirt lands need our love too 💕
I’m enjoying Sept tour 2. You mentioned your fruit loss. Suggestion. Holding off bloom time until after frost time will help. If you get some one by 4 inch by 4 ft boards and paint them white. Cut a notch on one end and a point on the other end. Stick the point in the ground and lean the notch against the tree on the south side of the trunk. This will keep the trunk from warming up and subsequent sap rise and subsequent budding. Remove the boards when frost time is past and let the sap rise. 🎉
Such a beautiful time! I was on the edge of my seat watching waiting until we got to the cut flower garden hoping you would give a hint on what you’re planning for that space! You didn’t let me down and cannot wait to see what you have planned! ❤
Tip: white poudery mold is easy to eliminate spraying a mix of 1lt of water 100ml of milk and a soup spoon of baking soda. Apply it at night or shade and wash it the next day with water. With one or Two times it’s gone.
Those pineapple lilies are neat. I love seeing the gardens-my favourite parts are where you have more of a mix of plants and can see a bit of soil vs the larger drifts. The zinnias are amazing.
For the grasses that flop just wind twine around base a couple feet up off ground and tie to tighten it up. Easiest to do in spring and then in fall it makes cut back easy!
Always enjoy watching! And the roofing noise is nothing! Great tour! It’s just keeps getting better. The heat damage doesn’t even show up on the camera. It all looks amazing! 🌹🌸🌻🌾🌳🍇
Thank you Laura and Aaron for a GREAT garden tour! Your family’s hearts are as beautiful as your gardens. I appreciate the change of pace from the (albeit very utilitarian) black blouse. Moss green is a very peaceful color.
Just incredible! WOW! Part 1 and 2 were just amazing. I could watch up to part 20 lol. Everything is truly unbelievable. Thank you Laura and Arron for taking us along on this amazing journey. I've never seen anything like it. WOW! You've got green thumbs, fingers and toes in my humble opinion. Lol!
Thanks for the aerial view of the property! It really shows what you were trying to do and what you have accomplished. It is beautiful. And the grass that Aaron planted looks wonderful! Can't wait to see what you do with planting the trees in this area! Great job!
That space you don’t know what to do with, the one with a corner, I would build a stone “corner”, like a house ruin with a window in the corner, adding climbers on the wall and tender plants that need a little more protection from sun and wind. 😍 Greetings from limestone island Gotland, Sweden, known for its wild roses and lime stone houses.
Laura , try a thermacell clip on for mosquitos! You can clip it on your belt loop ; trust me they work! I use a thermacell usb unit in an are where we will be working and they are small so you can move them so easily! I never get bit! No fumes and no having to wash anything off! May help! They have a 250 foot radius of protection! lol, not sponsored just works!
But the bubble gum super Tuni, a bubble gum and the limelight looks absolutely breathtaking. The colors together I would do that again. That is gorgeous. ❤
Yes to more Lemon coral sedum!! 💚💛 That has been a game changer in my zone 8A NC garden. It is a reliable perennial for us here. I've started with a few plants and over the years as it spread, have moved it to most areas of my gardens for added color or just to cover the ground to use less mulch and suppress weeds. That chartreuse color ties all of the areas of my garden spaces together beautifully. I'm not sure at what zone it becomes perennial? I can literally break off a few small sections and just stick them on the top of a pot and within a week, the surface of the pot is covered. Amazing.
I love when Laura goes plant by plant and shares all the stats. I loved seeing the honeysuckle on the fence and what a forsythia looks like in late summer. Grateful for all the details.
Great tour. Despite the heat everything looks so good. Love how it has evolved. Your design is beautiful. Aaron great technique showing us the overall view and the close in views. So professional and well done. Thank you. Have a blessed day everyone.
Laura and Aaron, do you keep a map of all the gardens with what you have planted? How do you remember all the names of everything?? Love the close ups of what you are talking about, it really helps because you go through everything so quickly. What a gorgeous space you have created💚💚💚💗
I've cut my white wands veronica back three times now and its on its fourth flush. What an amazing plant. Between that and the fuchsia salvia, what performers!
Hi Laura and Aaron, Thanks for inviting us into your beautiful gardens for a wonderful tour. The varieties you have paired together are such pretty blends. Thank you for everything you do to encourage us to get out and plant! All your efforts are much appreciated. 😍
I appreciate your garden status videos as they provide wonderful inspiration. It is so much easier to envision what to add and how they’ll look in my property especially trees and large mature bushes💖
Your gardens are just so beautiful. It was always hard for me to visualize the size and height of flowers when I was gardening. Seeing your garden really helps to conceptualize a planting. You are doing a wonderful service for gardeners and potential gardeners. Your property is such a lovely area to behold, and gives me such pleasure to view. Thank you and Aaron for this work of art.
The Gaura looks great with the two varieties. I have the petit pink and have loved it. Just bought what I hope is the other variety that's more wispy. Planted it right next to the other Gaura. I really am happy with that decision based on yours presented here!
Hi Laura. Can you make a video: garden tour with only trees. you always focus on smaller plants and your trees and evergreens are so beautiful and I can see that they have grown a lot since they were planted. Regards
A suggestion is to order a bunch of mylar resealable packets, 3x4". Divide out seeds into smaller amounts ,label them and then only open one packet as needed of a variety. Also put a oxygen pack in packs. Ur seeds can last way longer this way. For example, say ur packet has 50 seeds of a tomato, divide into 5 packets of 10 seeds, add oxygen pack, then put in fridge. Ur seeds can last much longer. I don't order seeds that don't do well in heat. I suggest u try cutting celery. Its a fantastic easy herb. Ive been gardening for over 50 years.
OK, I give up, lol. I’ve been searching for a video update on the pear espalier tree that was moved from behind the greenhouse with no luck so I’m just going to ask. Has anyone seen it lately? Laura and Aaron, I enjoy the garden tours. Well, I enjoy all the videos actually. Thank you for all you do. This fall season is going to be fun!
Hi Laura.. the rose on your orchard fence is - Arborose Kiss me Kate. Beautiful beautiful south garden. I am excited for the new changes to the cut flower garden area! 🌹❤️🌹❤️
Your garden tours are so pretty and helpful. Would love for you to do a video on which perennials you cut back mid-season. Might be a good winter/down time video. ❤ I'm still learning & I reference your videos a lot and share them with my fellow gardeners often Thanks for starting my day with me!
I would use a clover mix instead of grass in the orchard, apart from being more fairytail it would give a differentiation with the grass of the pathway
❤ I'm in the process of removing over grown perrinials, next year add different varieties to give my yard a new look. I love what you have done with yor property, how fun it must be to have the room where there is no limit on what you can add.
