Beautiful thing to write and very true💕

I totally agree!

💯 percent true!!!

Agree 100%!❤️

100% agreed! Her excitement, passion and joy is contagious ❤

Me! But I’ve created an Idea Board on the Proven Winners site. My handwritten notes were getting messy and unorganized. ☀️🌻

Taking notes here....my list is getting long 🌿🌺

Last year Laura did 1 or 2 videos on what performed best for her - hoping this becomes an annual tradition. I referred to those when planning my own gardens this year.

I did a bunch of screen shots. I think I will have to watch it again to take notes!😂🤣❤❤❤🤣😂

Always!

lol. That's what i call a smoking gun.

We love ❤️❤️❤️😽 Russel !

Probably Russell and Cheddar tumbling in them.

They may be trampled because of water coming off the building behind them. Have this problem with my elephant ear plants

lol when you put it like that I think she deserves the Gardener of the Year Prize. Let me be the first to nominate.

@@dianedeck I second that nomination!

@Boomerang here here. I third that nomination.

@@dianedeck Hear! Hear!

@@dianedeck Not to mention having to take it easy because she is expecting!! All the trees installed, a new water feature, painting the barn, and I could go on and on!!!! They have my vote too!

I rewound once, did it again, didn't bother rewinding again. Sorry Laura! But Aaron kept inching the camera further and further left, so I don't think he was even watching haha

I think we all had to do that!

😂

Ha me too!

Yep. I was like, Aaron is totally distracted by the cat fight. As we all were.

I would like to see some perennial azaleas and Camellias growing in waves here and there. Also I'd like to see some bromeliads growing and also some hold cold tolerant orchids.

Ger Ger then I suggest you plant some and watch them grow and make you happy 👍 I guess thats what Lara and Aron does- planting what they like and what makes them happy AND then, they showed it to us and make most of us happy and thankful for doing so 🍂🍁🌾🌻🌺🌸 then we go out to our garden with inspiration and garden joy and plant what we can in our climate and what we are interested in - not what everybody else think we should! 😊😘👍

@@tulle7358 've had over fifty years of garden tours some of them reaching 1,500 people in a day. So I've been very successful. Now the cities are frowning on garden tours, they don't like the parking issues and they don't want that many people in houses cuz the neighbors complain. Also we've got major issues because of the drought, a lot of the hey and pumpkins and squashes get eaten up by the wildlife at night, and then we also have a lot of homeless, and they either burns the stray bales and burn it, or they steal bales of hay, to make a nest to sleep on the hay down the street. So it's very hard to put any of these type of scenes up anymore. I do have a nice nativity scene but that has to be put on the top of the roof, and that's a big job to do when you have a tile roof, and when the winds blow in the winter time you have to really chain everything down. It's not like yesteryears when everything was safe outside. I used to purchase a lot of Boys Town wreaths, the I used to have a lot of fruits and nuts attached to the wreaths, but the animals climb up the doors on top of the tables and eat them up. The country sites are so Barren because of the fires and drought, they're coming into our personal private areas to eat anything they can including including electrical wires under the cars. When we become Diversified neighborhoods, not every nationality enjoys having The Street open for a private garden tour at a house and I can understand that they feel the invasion of their privacy. even back here swimming pools are being removed because of the drought issue in the price of water is very expensive. Times are changing and these couple in Oregon are just lucky The drought has not hit them up there and the wildlife is still pretty tame and not eating everything they grow. even if I plant tulips or any kind of flower bulbs I have to package them in real tight steel mesh boxes, so the Ground moles won't eat them before they even sprout. I think they're called Norwegian moles. they sure are fast runners. I know one year I caught my neighborhood teenagers, taking the pumpkins From my yard and throwing them up against the block wall so they busted out all over the place. And the parents said no big deal it's your loss not ours. I know the fish and game have to continuously in the winter and spring months, flood control staffers, have to clean out the river beds and flood controls, so many people have thrown pumpkins in there They grow like Wild Ivy everywhere and clogged up the waterways.

Had me laughing out loud for sure!!!!!

@@tulle7358 have you ever thought maybe they don't know too much about azaleas and Camellias and b r o a m a i d s so we can add some seeds in their ears. It can't hurt to offer suggestions the way you're barking and crying, it's none of our business. I don't think her husband is horticulture compared to her, so she has to carry the load all by herself and maybe some suggestions May plant some seeds for future usage. At old phrase, we share and we learn as a group not as an individual. We live in a society where we're tribal, and we learn from one another, it sounds like you may be happier living as a monk. If I'm not mistaken I think one time her husband said that his background is in Ministry, not in horticulture oh, so I think it's helpful if we plant some ideas in her. I know his wife sure has educated me out a lot of things even though I do have an MBA

Ditto. I'd even help her water.

I love the mulch pathway keeps so welll with the natural look.

Is this your career or just so fun? Want to come plant me some gpaprdens and teach me how

Oh you bet. That's the exact or should I say typical look of the wife who bested her husband. I laughed out loud, she was so cute doing that😅.

Russell is such a diva. He doesn't like Cheddar to share his spotlight. :)

I know the cats had me cracking up.

@@TKH7399 you're right!🤭

@@helenbaxter5270 Yes!😂

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing

I started looking to see if someone had already commented about this when Laura was talking about the fluff. Such a neat fact and history. I also agree with you about leaving the aphids. We started growing a few types of milkweed in our Texas garden this year to attract the Monarchs, and we have watched the lifecycles of so many little creatures because of the aphids. So many different types of ladybugs, hoverflies, and lacewing feed on the aphids.

@@TheCraftedCloset Yes! It's tough to be patient while the 'good' bugs take care of business, but they always do!! For some it's much easier to just spray something, but then you run the risk of harming all the good insects.

😂

I was giggling at the same thing😂 love it!! 🧡

I feel the same Kelly. I really enjoy learning about her garden but i feel shes rushed. She has a huge variety of beautiful everything.

Russell wins! 😸😼

Russel gets more screentime than Aaron! 😂

i know, right???? what tree??? LOL

He was all over this video!😃

What a great addition to the garden tour - cat entertainment!

Same here 😍

Like wise love all the fall colors 🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely I just can’t wait to see all the autumn colors 🤩🤩🤩

The Moon Garden is my favorite! I’ve been planning for one all summer. My next year project.

♥️ absolutely

If they keep it up Russell and Cheddar will have their own channel, instagram, twitter account, ect.😀

It's already 50 minutes

I was excited too!

Exactly 😍🥰😀🙏👍❤️🍷 The longer, the better 😊

I know! I love long tours as long as its convenient for them.. I love the content i dont ever get bored! 😍🌿🌹🌻🌺🌸⚘

I love a long garden tour video to loose myself in

Good morning!☕🎃 thank you for the endless beauty the two of you provide. Perfect way with coffee to start the day!!

I agree, we have blue bachelor buttons coming up allover the yard every year. I just mow them down while others plant them. As for the Silver bush, I think Laura would say, if you like it leave it.

In my area Lantanas are used EVERYWHERE... because it's so hot and dry their growth is kept in check, I've read others in the comments say that they are invasive in their areas especially near a consistent water source.

@@karysmuh there are probably varieties that dont spread now too

She's done a seed gathering video! I think it was just last year

@@AnnaDunlap247Rolltide thank you very much!
