So funny how laid back our parents were. We lived in an area where rattlesnakes were known to be. At least once a summer, a neighborhood Dad would catch (and kill) one. Yet our parents let us run and play in the woods ALL SUMMER LONG!
Glad that Erin from Impatient Gardener cut your paper cells to fit her tray. You had mentioned her doing it and I tried it too. Worked well. Watched her most recent video yesterday and was pleased to see she had one of your kneeling pads which I thought was cool.
Laura & Aaron, I love watching your videos. Thanks for the variety of shares you show us. Could you consider making a few "ooopsy" videos. It's actually good to see some projects that fail, disappoint, or are tougher than expected. It's great to learn how you handle things.. such as the "sinking" trees you just mentioned. About a year ago, you were planting and repeatedly cut thru your drip line. You became a tiny bit frustrated… but it was great food for thought… so real… I often wonder how you plant in some established areas, digging or using an auger, while avoiding "invisible" water sources. You make it look easy… BTW the kiddos are growing up so fast! ❤️ to see them.
Aww I was “in charge of” current bushes when I was little. It was the first thing I planted for my own kids to enjoy. Now my daughter is planting one at her first house ❤❤
Trampolines are great unless ur the rare one like me! I landed wrong when jumping with my sister at age 8. Broke my leg bad! Great for fun but I'm still afraid to get on one! Lol! Have had to have the other knee surgically broken due to it and have one leg longer than the other due to growth plates being broken.😢
Aaron my 2 older kids feel the dame way. They are so bitter over thier younger 2 brothers because there is 16 year difference between my second child and third child. I think we get worn down with our first kids and the other kiddos get a more relaxed version of us. I promise its not personal ❤❤ we love you all ❤❤
In the google search ot showed up, but in your website it was "oops not found" maybe just put it on "out of stock" I understand why ppl are confused 🙂 just my 2 cents.
Hi Laura and Aaron, regarding the chain link fence, tennis centers have a mesh fabric on cables between courts to stop balls. Maybe you could research that type of option?? I can totally see that the fence would change the feel of the space
Hey guys. I think that the biggest cause of your algae problems is the compost getting into the pond water. With your wind I think you need to plant ground covers fast as close as possible to the banks. Then things might stabilise.
I’m pretty sure Samantha Grace has the gardening gene and oh how exciting is that! I come a long line of gardeners, mainly veg but my Gran and Aunt loved their flowers too. My Mom didn’t get it an intensely as I but she didn’t have anything extra to do it with. Question about the PW plant food, I have two in my cart for my containers but the delivery is my issue. Dragging a hose, mixing bucket and watering can is a bit much for me. Can the powder be used in an Ortho dial end hose sprayer? I use fish fertilizer on my dahlias and it works great for that but that is a liquid. Any help would be appreciated!
Hey Laura, did you know that Johnny's offers a paper pot system? Just wondering if you had checked it out and if it might be a good option… maybe more readily available?? Love all your videos! You are my go-to for garden inspiration!
I used to lay pavers for a living. We used metal edging all the time to keep the pavers from spreading. If you want that look, you may just have to go through a contractor site. They also might know of companies that do quality metal work.
I am sooo glad that y’all don’t do clickbait! I have stopped viewing channels and cancelled subscriptions because every video has clickbait thumbnails. I browse by topic, not clickbait.
Ive had a pond for a while and the string algae was an issue the first few years and it is sometimes a little worse in spring depending on how the winter went. I think emptying and power washing off all the bacteria that is there is putting you back to almost square one again. I would use your beneficial bacteria and hand pull the string until it evens out. I do notice that aquascape are the only ones doing nature ponds that want to do such a huge clean every spring.

You could do a three-sided fence around the play court and have a seating area on the fourth side.
Hear me out a new segment for each recap video… deep thoughts with Aaron. That part had me in stitches

I don't like click bate either Laura. I will turn it off right away and not watch it.

Aaron you're very astute on click-bait and titles and news. That was a very awesome conversation, thanks! I hope people think about that
Maybe could add some bottom feeder fish that purposely eat the algae
I so appreciate that you guys don’t use click bait ! Those are so disappointing and maddening .
Hello, again. Tried the Espoma Seed Starting mix and it was loaded with wood slivers! East coast girl here. Idk 🤷♀️ Was not impressed! JS.

Have you considered the brand Edge Right for metal edging?

Thank you for not doing clickbait!
Another great recap. I learn so much and enjoy the chats on various issues. Thank you.
Thank you for not using click bait. I tend to move on when it is part of their program. I do like Aaron’s balanced opinions when explaining
Your kids would love a trampoline 👍🏼😊
That where all of them run to first.
Who is Betsy? I would love to see the edging in Betsy’s garden! 😊
Why did Cheddar go to live at Bethany's?
Hi! Seen a report about tumbleweed. Lady from Texas sold it from her yard worldwide during Covid making thousands of dollars shipping it to people 🤩

Proven Winners potting soil has a lot of wood in it. I loved it the first year, and the last 2 years were not good at all.
That shirt looks soo good on you Laura! 👌
Good morning! Great video!
Oh I love pleached trees! I hope you put some in somewhere. 😊

Aaron is spot on regarding people’s perspective. His analogy using the cup was great!! Love you guys! 🌷🌷🌷😘❤️

Proven Winners makes a potting soil that's really good.
