With these gardens you are only limited by your imagination. Ground cover in the empty space, or mosaic tile design, or a theme with topiaries, lighted spieres, and Alice in wonderland theme with gigantic chess board in one in another mad hatters tea party with humongous tea set, the characters in topiary form one per square. You could change the theme with the seasons. Too much work. It would be fun by the play area. Do you want them to mirror each other?
Thank you Laura and Aaron for these videos they are so helpful. I used Aarons bolt method on an apple tree that split this summer from too much weight. So far it's looking great. In the past I would have cut it off. Take care and bless you all.
How do you fertilize Playing the Blues Salvia? What type fertilizer do you use and how often? Thanks!
24 short for all that space is really good.
You have to fight nature and install miles of plastic tubing to create this artificial landscape mimicking 17 century European garden. Alternative would be to lean on native plants to create authentic landscapes that not only are self reliant but also benefit local fauna. This is future of gardening and it is reflected in modern European gardens.
What Waite, why is he driving and she is pruning? We use our truck the same way, its easier and safer. Your pile looks looks like ours before I insisted on a fire pit, it seems to be full all the time
Great job Laura and Aaron…things are really coming together ❤
Laura, I think I would take several days to be able to sit in different areas of your gorgeous gardens ❤
Just a thought from Canada.
I'm sure you know about this, but just in case. Remember, that when there is a big dump of snow coming off of the pole barn roof it will probably reach the middle of that lane, or close to it, and squish down and turn to an icy block. Maybe leave the evergreen hedge next to the fence. Or you can put snow stops on the roof so it won't slide, and you may want those for sure on the entry side. The downside of snow stops is the snow is left on the roof, and where we live it dumps a couple of feet of snow, warms up a bit as the cold front passes and it rains another couple of inches. The snow holds all the rain weight up on the roof, not for too long where you live, usually.
Check with whoever engineered the barn, they'll know and have it all worked out already. Probably. Especially after all the roof failures you have had in your area the past few years it seems like.
Our humidity is a bit lower here in Illinois today at 73%😊
How tall is the pole barn? It's just for supplies, and you're still going to put a roof/awning thing out behind the old barn for the vehicles?
You'll get a chuckle out of this.
I have not run across pole barns in my life experience. A mountain dweller from western Canada.
When I saw the roof suspended twenty feet off the ground, I thought, well, at least it will keep the afternoon sun off, but I was not too impressed.
You put walls on them.
Seriously, I thought you would call a barn a barn like normal people. And a pole barn was just a really big car port.
You looked like you were in a parade. Your property has become a beautiful garden compared to how it looked like when you started it looked like mars. I can't do any gardening ,so I do enjoy watching you work. It was nice of your husband to get out of the truck and help.
Hi Laura and Aaron, just a quick thought about your quadrants and what you could plant in the center of each quadrant. Why not do one type of rose per quadrant and fill that quadrant full of that one rose. I think it would be beautiful! Just a thought for you.
Oh Laura, 21% humidity?!! Ours is only 59% low for here in south central Illinois!😅
Hi Laura and Aaron, Laura when you were showing us the pole barn update you were saying that the area that's next to the gravel that will lead into the pole barn will be a garden bed. Why not make it your dead plant, tree limbs dumb area. That way it won't be out in the middle of the dirt lands. That way Aaron can go ahead and plant grass out in that area and make the dirt lands more beautiful with a sea of green grass. Just a thought!
I have to say the layland cyprus (if that is how you spell it) is an ugly tree, looks old and deadish, sorry to say
🤣😂We live near New Orleans and today's Hi | Lo is 93 | 85 with a 52% humidity. Feels like 99 this afternoon, so enjoy your 21% humidity, must be nice! 😀
Benjamin is getting tall❤
Benjamin is getting so tall this Summer 😮
We have a beautiful red maple my husband bolted years ago and it’s withstood several wind events. I love that tree and would hate to see t go. So beautiful in the fall when we drive down our long drive and see it behind our ranch home. ❤
Where there's a will there's a TRUCK😅😅
Monday I got up early to work out before it got too hot, it was 81 degrees and humidity was 81%. My yard is a sauna in the summer. Enjoy your low humidity Laura!
How about next year put the salvia in the big parts of the quadrants and Supertunias in the small parts where they are now?
Hahaha! Laura: "21% humidity is kinda high"; we are in a cool down here so I looked at our humidity: 57% & 88• I will take it considering what it's been!!
Laura, you're still so inspiring!! Every video I watch I learn more & get encouraged by your fails & successes. Please don't ever stop!
13% humidity!!!!! Oh my goodness. I live in west Tennessee and the humidity is 81% and that is low for us!!
Laura, please check the boxwoods in the formal flower garden, near the salvia! Some of the quadrants, I spotted the salvia leaning over the boxwoods and we would hate to lose them!
We cabled two tall northwest pine trees that had grown together long before we purchased our home in Portland. It lasted for a few years then suddenly died. Disease had entered at the place where the two trees joined. I hope yours survives. I wonder if you will need to take some preventive measures to keep the tree from developing a disease.
🙂🙏🏻
Fun way to prune trees for sure . Question could you put solar panels on that new pole barn and generate electricity for your needs out there?
Lavender likes it dry, though, I thought…I know new ones need the water, but I thought established plants like it dry….🤔
Hubby watched a video with me for the first time. I said, "Look how beautiful their gardens are." He replied, "It looks like a resort!". Thanks for documenting and sharing your journey.
I think youneeda cherry picker!
Glad to hear you talk about the irrigation system and treatment of drought tolerant plants.
Do you use more drip tubing irrigation or single emitters to each plant? For the lavender, did you run one or two rows of drip tubing?
when we have 50% humidity, we consider that a dry day. I can't even imagine keeping plants hydrated enough where you are. My hats off to you. I'm so glad you shared with everyone about the " drought" tolerant plants needing so much more water when they're in pots. It's those strong root systems that makes them search for water in the soil but dry quickly in containers.
I’m curious to see what’s going in the middle of the lavender 🤗
Will,you be pruning the lavender the same way as along your fence in the raised bed vegetable garden ? I LONG for a row of Lavender like that along my walkway , I am zone 6 but our winters are so cold and harsh they have a hard time
Next tree trimming, Laura drives, & Aaron snips. He's taller!😂
I got plugs of lavender from a local farm and potted them up. This is August and they are still small but I am getting them in the ground before winter. I have learned that you have to constantly water new plantings. The other thing I learned is to get your irrigation in up front. I spend way too much time hand watering.
Laura the lavender looks beautiful I can just imagine once it fills out how gorgeous it going to look. 👍🏼
The trimming of the trees really opened up the area nicely.
And humidity in Illinois is 61%.
Looks so much better. You two are smart gardeners!
I wish I could grow lavender I love it for 4 years I have tried if I don’t over water I under water I need I stick to put next to the plant to tell me when it needs water and when it doesn’t lol
Maybe the salvia in the larger empty area and the petunias in the smaller area where they are now next year
remove both of those trees. they don't look good…..
Laura! Love the lavender boarder, so inspiring as always. Is anyone else nervous for your boxwoods surrounding those playin' the blue salvia after last year!
I think the formal garden would be beautiful in all purple and white.
