Laura, I live in zone 6b and my dahlias come back every year. I bet that most of yours will as well! :)

I love ya, Laura, but I’m on TEAM AARON ALL THE WAY! No artichokes in the Hartley cold frames!

I'm on team Aaron - I don't like artichokes at all - unless they're being grown to eat, of course. Not a fan of them for ornamental purposes.

Right on, you guys created ME!! And my husband probably isnt excited about that!!!! And yes, I do create lists from plants you've shown.

Artichokes in the microwave for 10 minutes are perfect! You guys are so much fun to listen to/watch.

I think the gray stain was for the terracotta sauces you were trying to match to pots. 🙋🏻‍♀️ horse barn vote. 😁

My love for gardening began with my mom however I was more encourage to garden because of Laura infact Laura’s vidoes is what got me over depression moving from nY to MN. Laura’s voice is beatuful And not annoying to listen to. The way you do your vidoes naturally is so entertaining to watch. Infact my baby and I watch your vidoes every weekend we love you guys

Nooooo…. Don’t shorten the tour videos! Those are my favorite….ha ha…do what you want but thats my first reaction to shorter videos ❤

I’m with Aaron on the artichokes lol. Those things are just ugly like a big ol’ weed!! 😂

Hi Laura, The long videos are awesome 👌 the viewers can always pause the video, but when you can watch the entire video, it is the best. In my opinion 😀 love your videos, so it's up to you and the time you have. I would actually watch 2 or 3 hours of videos... or even more hours. I love watching and learning... even though I'm a zone 9. I learn tips and see your beautiful designs. A huge thank you! 😂

Could you reinstall your pondless waterfall water feature by your kitchen door area? The sound would be nice and look great surrounded by kitchen herbs. Maybe an idea for when you remove the sick tree there.

Horse vs tractor. Difficult decision. On another topic: can you guys remove the tree in front of the kitchen and plant it next to the pond? I’d like to see if that saves the tree and the pond :)

Oh yes,it is true. I go to the garden center with a list of “Laura” plants that I want. I finally found a center that carries LOTS of proven winners - YAY.

I don’t know about anybody else but I’m kind of annoyed with the whole thriller filler spiller thing. I especially don’t like the king tut grasses when they are used as a thriller it just reminds me of the Muppets or those dancers with the big feathers on their head. I’m starting to like more clean simple pots with only a couple plants, I was paging through a P Allen Smith book on containers that I purchased used and I have to say that while some of the combinations are truly beautiful, the sheer amount of plants that are used in some containers makes me dizzy and it’s too much to look at.

There is a great horse rescue in tennessee that has a youtube channel if you are interested in rescuing a horse or donkey. @hphs Horse Plus Humane Society

Please consider carrying Land & Sea Compost. I have to go 100 miles to get it. If I'm gonna order it online I would just as soon get it from you. My local garden center used to carry it and now uses another brand that is no where as good.

❤😊 Congratulations on 7r "10" Year's Way too Go, We are learning and developing New Beauties as Ur planting and teaching, Thank U ❤

When I raised my hand....LOL Horse Barn!

Hi Laura, I agree that dahlias are a lot of work for a maybe some enjoyment! Last year my tubers dried out but still mostly sprouted this spring! I think I will be leaving my dahlias and my Ranunculus in the ground with just a thicker layer of compost! If they work awesome if not I will have a new area for planting something else! Gardening is supposed to be fun even if it is a lot of work! 🤗Peace and blessings! 💖

I did not mind the duration. I took 4 days to finish watching it.

Artichokes don't take that long to cook! 5 minutes in an instant pot or 15-20 minutes boiling in a regular stove top pot! You should try them. We boil 3-4 of them and then pull off the leaves and dip them in lemon garlic butter or mayo. Then after you have eaten the tender end of the leaves, you can use the hearts roughed chopped with sun dried tomatoes in pasta dishes, dips, etc! They really are not any more difficult to cook than golden beets or carrots.

Horse barn first!!

I don't know why anyone would just go to a garden center after a garden tour, so many of Laura's videos are beautiful plants! I especially get in trouble when she plants pretty bulbs! I'm now praying I can find those 9ft tall boxwood for my own privacy fence! That wasn't a garden tour video and after seeing her plant those hardy hibiscus in her garden then in a freinds garden and explain they survive here there I was buying 2 for my own garden!

Hand raised…… BOTH HANDS 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 all the hands raised 😂😂😂😂

Funniest comment ever - “Whoever thinks I should get a horse barn first, raise your hand.” 🙋‍♀️

I was always a gardener before GA, but a good gardener? Debatable.

🌸

I live in australia and for me to order bio tone its $60 a bag

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

I def go in with a list and I’m in Philadelphia, I ask for PW and espoma and demand the Garden centers start bringing them in! Thanks Laura for all the inspiration

I raise my hand

Oh, Aaron.... Talking Bobcat while wearing a John Deere ball cap. The irony..... 😆

I think everyone should garden from the heart, but…. I’m with Aaron on the artichokes. Definitely gives Little Shop of Horrors vibe to the Hartley. 😂

I loved the contrast between the "whimsical" hydrangeas and the formal fountain base! I thought it tied in beautifully with the gaura plants in the top.

Aaron 😂 That’s my favorite movie.

Artichokes are wonderful dipped in hot melted butter You only eat the soft rounded side by scraping your teeth across the soft part not all the way through to the other side of the leaf....you can also sprinkle garlic salt lightly into the butter ❤

I love long videos!! Especially tours

NOT TEAM ARTICHOKE HERE! You must have missed my comment. I brings to mind little shop of horrors, lol!!

Horse barn 🙋🏻‍♀️

One way to overwinter pond plants if you have a heated garage or greenhouse is to place them in large trash cans filled with water and a pond air pump. We used the 32 gallon size trash cans but we kept the fish in there too for the winter so you might be able to go smaller if it’s just the plants.

I work at a garden center on the Canadian prairies and one day a customer came in and bought a whole whack of PW Supertunia Vista Jazzberry, well I was suspicious so I HAD to ask if she watches GA and she said, "yes!". We had a good chuckle. ( and a nice chat) Haha. Small world.

💚💚💚

I’m on Erin’s side. The artichokes would be better some where else. They are ugly.

with ponds, lots of factors influence the quality of pond water - sun, cold, rain, time of year, fish.

It makes me sad hearing you talk about the mishaps that have happened with your chickens. I’m sorry for your unfortunate experiences and losses. Thanks for sharing anyway!

Team Aaron...Relocated Artichoke! They don't look good where they are, but somewhere else would be just fine. The challenge of finding a new location that is sheltered, etc, would be fun to follow.

🤚🤚🤚🤚

I would agree with Aaron that because of this channel, you make us viewers more confident! My mom cannot get over my sheer love and excitement for gardening, my knowledge of flower names, my comfort in trying new varieties and combinations. And of course I've purchased Felcos, the Fiscars kangaroo bin, and many other tools you've recommended. Garden Answer's reach and impact is incredible!

I’m with Aaron on the mini bobcat! So many uses!

I have some supertunias and truffala pink gomphrena that have come back for 3 years in zone 8b.
