Growing up on a farm, the old timers always said: "Good fences make Good neighbors".

A million husband points for Aaron! “If you love it, you should do it”, all garden husbands should take note 😆

I totally agree with Aaron that you should always do what makes YOU happy. Doesn't matter what people say in the comments. Everyone will have their own opinions, but your garden should be what gives you joy. ☺

I would totally buy and wear a T-shirt saying “plant more freaking trees”… totally team Aaron!

I love how Aaron promotes planting trees now. Laura has fully converted him into a proper gardener. Give him your houseplants to take care of now Laura. 😂😂😂😂

The close up of the hat when, "plant more freaking trees" a LOL!

Aaron’s head aches could also be not enough water and electrolytes which are essential when doing hard work. Any time I work in my yard I always take an electrolyte before and after my work and I always make myself stop and drink lots of water; it makes a huge difference!!!

Plant those boxwood borders! It will be STUNNING all year long! I fully support it! Happy Father’s Day to both Aaron & Mike

Here in the Netherlands we cut off the blooms and we let them die off in our own gardens and they come back next spring. Only if you want to move them you harvest the bulbs and dry them until the fall. Commercially they harvest the bulbs in june/july and the local youth selects and peels them during their vacation as a summer job.

From my truck driver husband - if you get a large load like that again, use a 8ft 4x4. Hook the chains to the middle of the 4x4 behind the trees and have the tractor back up. It'll pull them to the tail for you.

Good morning Laura, Aaron, and fellow gardeners. Happy Father's day to all the dads. Much love from Trinidad ❤ 🇹🇹

oh my gosh, if we didn't love Aaron already, "If you love it, that's all that matters". It is awesome seeing how you both support each other. Love love love. Thank you!

The flying umbrella is hilarious. 😂

“Samantha, totally is a shoe girl”. Carrie would approve.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the men in our GA community. Much love from Chicago.🌻

Annuals just give your garden such a wow factor....❤

Go for the Boxwoods! Personally I do not like them, but that is not the issue. You love them and one thing I have learned from watching your videos is that your garden should reflect your love and wishes. Get them on order for the fall!

*the gasping of all the gardeners when Aaron said to cut all the green from the bulbs after flowering*

I definitely agree with Aaron "PLANT MORE FRIGIN' TREES!!" Trees make all the difference every time all the time. Put me down for a t shirt!

Hi Aaron, I totally agree with you! We need more trees. I believe that beautiful areas/neighborhoods are always surrounded with beautiful trees.

The “heart shaped trowel” is literally a spade lol

Happy Father's Day, Aaron. You're a very special Dad. Have a wonderful day🎉

Good morning friends! Happy Father’s Day Aaron.

Yay Aaron! We do need more trees. Love the shade and the climate needs them too. Our yard is full of them.😊

I agree with Aaron, plant more trees. Lol Im tree and shade obsessed, and they add the most beauty to a property in my opinion.

Order those boxwoods Laura!!!! Cannot wait to see how cleaned up the whole area would look with hedging.

YES! Aaron I don’t understand why more people don’t plant trees.

Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️ Another great recap. So looking forward to seeing the progress out back behind the barn! Regarding the Solar Panels, out here on the East Coast in Massachusetts, the panels are FREE! I just had a company called Sun Run come out and they replaced my electrical panel, installed the panels and, they maintain them. It’s a 25 year contract with a set rate. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈

I was delighted and surprised to be watching a couple You Tube videos, both ladies in Ireland, they both spoke about your channel, they watch it. To me that doesks volumes, you jndpire follks all around the world. Thank you for all you do and the classy way you do it. Blessings.❤

In the Keukenhof (huge garden of tulps...etc in the Netherlands, all bollen are taken out of the ground . New are planted before Xmas (7 millions!planted by 40 workers) They get a "winter sleep".. The reason of not using them again: they have been till the end of their flowering time and have lost most of their energy...

We tried buying plants locally but the "garden centers" here in Wyoming pale in comparison to the ones we had when we lived in Pennsylvania. We found that it is worth it, for us, to spend the extra money and get 99.9% of our plants from PW. Higher cost but better packaging, better product and better results. And oh yeah everybody, plant more freakin' trees! Thanks for everything and have a great day!

I'm sure the solar incentives vary from state to state, but we have had solar panels for several years and love it! I'm amazed every time we get that power bill for $0.00!

I am Team Tree. They're definitely my favourite type of plant/plant category. I wish I had all the room in the world to plant all the trees my heart desires. Alas, I'm in the UK, so have to be mindful of how many can reasonably go in my small garden.

Add me to the list of supporters of a boxwood hedge around each quadrant in the cut flower garden, I never saw a boxwood hedge, small or large, that I didn't like! LOVE all that formal structure. So peaceful and lovely!!

It sounds like you are mentally pretty far down the road with more boxwood around your cut flower garden. But may I suggest you look, instead, at some of the low, open-design cedar fences around formal rose gardens in England. Often they are beautiful architectural statements by themselves. They weather to the same silvery gray as your benches will. But then if you plant them with climbing roses they are completely next level. You could still flank all your openings with conical boxwood, but rose-covered low fences would be so stunning. (And Paul could build the panels for you this winter in your barn!😢)

July 1st is coming... Jenny and Erin are rolling on with planting the new plants and showing on camera just not saying any detailed info. Your withholding of all imagery/excitement is admirable. What a silly rule. Glad 2026 plants won’t be under visual lock and key. Perhaps Ken can do video clip (commercial) inserts for what new in the shop. We can see more of the behind the scenes team which we all appreciate. Still loving the new editing *cue the foreshadowing zoom in to Aaron’s hat* lol #PlantMoreFreakinTrees 🌲🌳🌳🌲🌲🌲🌳🌳🌲🌳

Aaron is so full of knowledge! His perspective brings me so much value. Laura, you are so blessed to have chosen him as a partner for life. If you read and get the chance, please read “The Noticer” by Andy Andrews. To quote Andy, “ Sometimes, all a person needs is a little perspective.” You both bless us every day!

“Plant Freaking Trees” - love it! I saw a video on KZfaq of a guy who had invasive blackberry bushes with thorns, he set up a fence and let his goats clean it out. I was amazed that they ate through all of it! So maybe it’s worth a try for your property.

Yes Laura! Do what you like and want to.. We are here to support you!❤️👍

Happy Father's Day to you Aaron and also to both Grandpas!! They made Great Kids!! ❤🎉😊

Absolutely agree with Aaron! What matters isn't what everyone else thinks, do what you live in YOUR gardens! I mean really, can anyone argue with your success in how gorgeous your gardens are? As you share your knowledge with us, we also learn to have freedom to do it our way by watching you do it your way! Love the variety of gardens in our world. It's not right or wrong it just the way I like it.

I'd wear that t-shirt! "Plant More Freaking Trees" 😄

Because of Garden Answer, I had the courage to plant a DA rose tree ( Carding Mill) and a potted DA ( Roald Dahl). Watching you since 2017 and learning so so SOOOO much from you both. Is there a video of trimming or deadheading rose trees and my potted rose? I know you go down the stem to a leaf clusters but I just don’t want to ruin these DA roses. I am so proud of them .. they are blooming and going for it! Thank you for all your inspiration …. We met at the Grand Garden show … at the last one. I was star struck! 😊😊.

I'd love the boxwoods too. More boxwoods please.

I am glad you are ahead on videos. Just in case of sickness or you just need a day away. You guys are so on top of things and even though you enjoy what you are doing you need a family break once in a while. Love all your videos.

I agree, make your cut flower garden as pretty and formal as you like and enjoy the view all year round. Grow just the flowers you want for your own flower arrangements and maybe just a few to give away if you have enough left. Like you said it's your garden and it's for you to enjoy, not to grow stuff for others. And I know it's a lot of work but I would swap the black square containers at the entrance for the pretty ones that are next to the dumpster because I think they match the flower/rose garden theme even better.

So this is for Aaron...my neighbor cut my trees back 4ft inside my fence and when I spoke to him about it (politely but firmly!), he called me a "tree hoarder". I thought that was the best compliment and my son had a t-shirt made for me with "Tree Hoarder" on it! 😂

Garden Crossings has been naming the 2025 annuals all along. And planting them to trial. Perennials too

Laura, I use a hand sprayer when my seeds are newly planted in trays. As they sprout and mature, I switch over to a tank sprayer that holds 2.5 gallons and set it on the gentle spray. I planted five shelves of seedlings this year and I found the tank sprayer to be more convenient. It lasted several days without filling, and the long wand could reach to the back of the shelves. It really made the process a lot easier!!

In Australia farmers use goats to clear out unruly prickly blackberries etc. Works a treat.

Good morning! In Holland Michigan they pull all the bulbs and replant every year. Because, as you know, tulips aren’t great at coming back. Tulip Time is a major event in Holland Michigan.

I love the way Aaron is saying, the only thing that matters is, if you love it, you should do it 😍 Get the boxwood, it will look amazing 👍

Aaron I’m with you!!!… planting trees is one of the best things we can do for our world! On the subject of Solar Panels… my son purchased a 3 year old 3000sq ft home in San Antonio that has existing solar panels. His electric bill last Summer averaged $38 a month.

I have had a DeWit planting trowel forever and I love it, it's basically invulnerable. Good choice to stock them! (But bad business since you'll only ever need one haha)

I love the idea of boxwoods in the south garden! I look forward to seeing them!

I spend $650.00 every May for Inpatient's year after year and I love my flowers. They look beautiful!!

YES to the BOXWOODS around the cut flower areas!!!! 🎉🎉

We planted Blacklace Elderberry 2 seasons ago. They were in much more shade than I thought and hardly grew at all but survived. We moved them to our front yard which gets morning sun at about 10 and sun the rest of the day. It is so happy and putting on new growth o we’re so happy about that. I’m using the cardboard and dirt method this year and we are loving it so much better than the plastic. We intend to use the landscape fabric for gravel and building areas as you suggested.

Happy Father’s Day Aaron and Laura’s Dad👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️🍸🍸🍸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love the visual look of fences.

Hi Laura! I’m wanting to learn more about building easy garden decor such as tall pyramid type obelisks. Something for you to video!

Laura, I absolutely love sumac..... OMG! I ONLY PLANTED ONE!! when I saw you planting All Yours I said God help her!! Lol! Anyway mine was beautiful... and then all hell broke lose! David cut it down! After spraying and pulling for 2 years I said I'M DONE. I got a bottle of Stump Out and poured the whole bottle on it. I first made cut marks on the stump and poured slowly!! It worked!! It killed all the runners and that was the end of my nightmares!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂🎉

There is a goat rental company in Charlottesville, Va called Goat Busters! 😂😂😂

Fences make GOOD neighbors!

Love all the plants and your knowledge. Have learned so much and have beautiful things in my yard. Thanks

Good morning! Enjoy your Sunday!

I love your boxwoods and so appreciate the structure and winter interest they add. Plus, if you add drip it is another area that adds so much to enjoy without constant care.

I worked at a greenhouse that added fertilizer to the water supply in their greenhouses. This meant the bathrooms were plumbed with blue water and we spent all day washing our hands in it! Boxwood blight is spreading and I sure would not want to have as many as you already do, let alone adding hundreds more!

I agree with what you said about the Boomerang lilac.

I have to repeat myself and tell you how much I love the recap videos every Sunday. They are right up there with my favorite things you do! Thank you!🙏💚💚🤣

Im glad to here you say you want to plant winter gems. I planted winter gems because i couldn't find sprinter boxwoods, and i always worry my hedge wont look good like yours when it grows in

I am loving the idea of boxwood hedges in the flower garden, it is so Laura!

A great recap of so much productivity. So inspiring. I'm so glad Aaron's headache (from overwork!) is better.

Aaron-There's a vid about how they go about harvesting the tulips, then cutting down the green leaves, then harvesting the bulbs. What I thought interesting was that they lay down netting first, then they plant the bulbs on top of that. When they are ready to take up the bulbs they just pull up the netting.

thanks to you ,I now have a Dramm wand and a Dramm nozzle .... it is so nice to turn on your hose and water your plants and not take a shower at the same time....I can actually come back in the house dry....thank you for sharing these wonderful products with us

Aaron is right, and such a great example to all spouses!!! “Do what makes you happy in your own garden!!” If that bit of formality and beauty in your garden brings peace and happiness to you…end of story!! Naysayers can just move on. They should understand by now that everything you two do turns to beauty, and who could ask for more?

I'm with you Aaron loving those trees!!

Always enjoy the weekly wrap up!!

Laura I like the idea of putting boxwoods around quadrants in the cut flower area. It’s you! What can I say. I love love your videos .

Absolutely loved the boxwood/annual planters! Happy Fathers Day to Aaron and your Dad, Laura!

I am thankful for you and Aaron I’ve learned things from you. I have 2 tropical hybiscus trees in my front yard 1 of them isn’t doing very well this year. We transplanted them last year because their pots were falling apart. I moved them to the back yard in a sunnier location hoping they will do better. I probably would have left them there if I haven’t been watching you. Now I put my annual containers in the front yard 2 of them match they are at the front door the 3 rd pot is different. But next season they will all match

I have to agree with you Laura,on the boxwoods. Go for it ! It's you !

Love your videos! Thanks for addressing the question about annuals vs perennials. I'm new to gardening and really had no idea why it would ever be beneficial to plant annuals vs perennials due to the work involved with annuals but now I get it. Lol. Thanks for helping newbies like me get a clue.😁

I’d buy that shirt!!! definitely planting more freaking trees. Our town continues to cut down trees and it infuriates me. And as far as the boxwood hedging….100% agree with Aaron, if it’s what you would love then do it. I think it would be spectacular. #teamboxwoods

Lots of daffodils great Q&A. Love Aaron’s participate in the video.

I have a grouping of 15 thuja's, 5 in each group planted in 2014 and they do well in the snow! I absolutely love them. Good choice Aaron! On another note I would also wear Aaron's T-shirt "Plant more freaking TREES!

During our spring windstorms our patio umbrella flew up and over our house and landed in the middle of the street. People were freaking out and I peed myself laughing 😂😂😂

I live in the Netherlands and for bulb production they dehead them around mother's day, then they die back, and yes all brown fields and will lift them in june/juli to select bulbs for sale, I worked a holiday job, sorting them and taking out the bad ones, there's peple having to peel them, back then by hand, and pickers were paid by the basket

I got my sprayer today! So excited!

Aaron, they bush-hog them half way down, the plant and they don't water then and they turn yellow. That's when they are dug and put in storage based and ready for shipment in October or planted in newly proud fields.

I love my Eley hose reel, thanks to you guys! We put on a Gilmour hose and a softer, cloth (?) type hose on it. I rolls up so easily, and holds a lot of hose length.

Love the format of your Q&A!!!

Great recap, as always. Love your videos and enjoy your interaction so much. Have a blessed day everyone.

I’m on team boxwoods! Do what you love, it’s your garden!

I have a black lace elderberry in a large container against a north-facing wall (UK). It gets sun first thing in the morning and from mid-afternoon, it will not reach the size of Laura’s but it’s been very happy for more than 3 years and does a great job of breaking the appearance of a blank wall

Happy Father’s Day to all. Love this video! From Iowa 90’s here this week.

Thanks! Have a great week :)

Laura you have created a beautiful garden and I love seeing what you come up with. Aaron is completely right in his commitment that you should do what you love. It’s your garden. #teamboxwood

Other channels have already shared the new 2025 plants from proven winners! I have saw them all! I have both the auger and the hand trowel and love those both! There is a company called giraffe that makes a hose reel like hoselink with a 5/8” hose. It is in a black case also. I have one and it is so much lighter! We do not have fences around our property in Illinois unless it is to retain animals.

AARON IS RIGHT!!!! Do what makes YOU happy!!! There will always be those with a different opinion. At the end of the day, as the sun goes down over your property, you are left with YOU!!! So rely on your moral compass and the knowledge that you and Aaron both come from good stock!
