Lol humidity😅😅. Our average ij va beach is over 70% and often much higher in summer heat. Always wondered how your over hundred degree weeks would compare bc It feels so hot here day and night in summers and i couldn’t imagine it even hotter😎”dry heat” difference must be legit but still quite hot im sure 🥵 ☀️🪴thanks for all you all share, i have learned so mich and my garden is the better for it💚
Aaron, a lady I know, was remodeling your house and put in heated floors in her bathroom. It was little tubes that ran so far apart from each other and what it had was hot water running through it to heat up the floor so on cold mornings, you would get up and have a nice warm floor to walk on. Why couldn't you do that underneath your roof panels to keep it from ever collecting snow on your barn?
We have a composite roof on our suburban Chicago house with the snow spikes in areas where you walk — like along a garage or front entrance. I can only imagine that the snow shift on a metal roof is similar to the snow avalanche coming off a composite roof. Even though the snow spikes help to slow the snow, down, a significant amount of snow can fall on those areas as its melting. Perhaps adding warming coils like you mentioned would help to slowly melt the snow and help reduce the snow avalanche that can damage your plants. Thank you for all the great videos. I enjoy watching your beautiful gardens develop and mature.
Humidity! haha And I just said yesterday in the midst of working in the garden on a typical 85% humidity Saturday in Georgia…"If Laura and Aaron had to work in this humidity, their garden would be WAYYYY smaller!"
So informative and fun to watch. As always, you have an amazing garden and projects. My question is regarding the lane and the row of trees. Are you consideing adding big planter between the trees with some petunias or some type of huge grasses?
Seems like Aaron and Laura don't know about glamping ("glamourous" and "camping") because I like to have some convenient amenities whenever I go camping.
We have them & call them avalanche guards. I have also heard them called snowgauards, snow shields, snow bars. We live in British Columbia, Canada in the Southern Cariboo Region. We are zone 4 & are dry in the summer but get quite a bit of snow in the winter with temps as low as -40 Celsius/-40 Fahrenheit. Our property slops and so we have avalanche guards on the north east side of our property which slows down the amount of water/snow/ice drain off. However on the south west side we let it fall when it starts to melt and whatever liquid comes from the melt just slowly drains to the bottom of the property.. Our dog can hear when the snow starts to melts and when it starts to move just a fraction he runs for cover.
85% humidity and 85° here in Texas as I’m watching this. Lots of bad hair days here.😂 we have had lots of rain this spring, unusual for us but the plants are loving it.
If you opted to paint the roof, the cost of labor to prep (much less paint) a weathered “wavey” older roof might NOT make sense vs whole new metal roof.
Black will make your structure interior much hotter … 😬 … but, of course, whatever you choose will be great. 👍
How about a large art piece in the new garden by the barn? A 3-piece, tall and metal composition which could compliment the new roof? Love these projects as I start a vista garden soon, joining 2 flower beds with apond view beyond!
Hello Laura! I've been enjoying your videos for years now, thank you for sharing your garden journey with us 😊 I live in the Ozarks (Missouri 6b) and I just added a plant to my garden that I LOVE and I don't think I have seen you mention having in your garden. It's a Floralberry Sangria St John's Wort. Full/Partial sun, Zone 5-9, 3'x3'. It has lovely deep green foliage with some deep red/purple on the leaves and it blooms a lovely golden yellow that turn to red berries. Do you have this in your garden and I've missed it? It seemed like the kind of plant you would enjoy.
I went back to watch from the beginning to see you journey (SO FUN!!) after I found your channel and you've been calling your old structure a gazebo*. It's always stuck out to me and made me say "hmmmm??" LOL. Is that an Oregon or PNW kind of thing? Here in PA we tend to call what you had a *pavilion and gazebos are the hexagon or octagon shaped structures. Just something I always wanted to ask.🤷🏽♀️😁
Wow I would love to have humidity like that ❤. Today in Glasgow, Scotland we have 89% humidity. Plus it rains almost every day here so it’s always rubbish weather and high humidity 😂. I would love a shot at trying your weather for a change ❤. Love watching your videos every single evening with my tea xx
Don't buy a camper….rent them. We do trips to campgrounds and rent. It's delivered, set up, and you just walk away after your stay. WAY less expensive than hotel and you get the camper experience. Love it every time!
For the metal roof and discussion of snow ❄️, why doesn’t Aaron buy a new toy like a flamethrower and melt it! Hahah 😂 Love the channel 🫶🏻🇨🇦♥️✌🏻 Amazon drivers are like Uber drivers; they don’t care. 😮
I do hope you're not thinking of getting rid of the pond!!! The algae will sort itself out! Some time, some shade, some chemicals. Its such a pretty spot in your garden.
When a tree goes, there goes your shade. I've been thru it a few times and had to redo areas to plants that take a lot of sun. Going thru that now…we lost a huge Maple last year, and it transformed the whole yard. Watching your show, and Jim Putnam's, helped me find the dream plants for my revised landscape. Love to you and yours!
Genuinely curious why at this point you wouldn’t use chemicals to keep the string algae out of the stream. If you had a swimming pool, it would require chlorine or other chemicals to keep it clean. Inquiring minds want to know

77% humidity here in NW Arkansas! Laura would melt!

We live in 7a, and we do not want Bermuda grass. I think we plated the same as you.
Yes to the tree tours!!

I love my hose link!!!! and I would never have known about them without Garden Answer!

25% humidity sounds like an absolute dream day to me!!!

There is a Spherical Trimmer on wheels that you just roll over the boxwoods and it trims them into a sphere 😉

In zones 6 and 7 its common to use a tall fescue

Thanks for the transcripts…. helps me when I "miss" something

Liriodendron tulipifera L.
Tulip Tree, Tulip Poplar, Yellow Poplar
Magnoliaceae (Magnolia Family)
They are hardwoods.
Laura You seem to be feeling your oats in this video ☺

Love the channel 🫶🏻🇨🇦♥️✌🏻
Amazon drivers are like Uber drivers; they don’t care. 😮
Laura, Girl! Here in central Texas if we have anything less than 50% humidity we think we're in heaven! 😂 It's all perspective, isn't it??
There have been complaints all over America that new delivery drivers cannot read English and can’t drive very well, which is a major problem.
I do hope you're not thinking of getting rid of the pond!!! The algae will sort itself out! Some time, some shade, some chemicals. Its such a pretty spot in your garden.

I have a friend from Louisiana. He complained about the LACK of humidity in Colorado because he wasn't used to it! 🤣
😂 here in Florida. When you walk out in the morning you feel like you are suffocating . Super high humidity.
Greetings from 93% humidity Beltsville Md. 🌧 ☁️
