Happy 19th! Thank you for sharing all you do in your garden. I am constantly learning from you. When you were wrestling with tree was cute, I have to do that too! Blessings to you both!
I do understand, that people have questions about gardening, and might like Laura and Aaron's take on it… Because all of us are here, because we enjoy their content, not only because of their beautiful garden, but also because it does become a little (almost) daily ritual. However, you also need to remind yourself, that they do live in a very specific area – the high desert – and deal with pests and plant issues, accordingly. So if you do not live in an area, sort of like that – you are probably alot better off, simply asking your local plant/garden center or -nursery… And yes…. We all wish, "Andrews Seed" was our local garden center – but remember, if you just buy online from "Andrews'", and don't support YOUR little, local place, it might just end up closing! And they are probably a just as nice, little family owned business… You might even be lucky enough, that you have several to choose from! 😉😢
Wonderful recap. I hope you do decide to do the metal tag for your garden and maybe you can sell some common ones in your store. I love these videos, I learn so much, I get insight into your thought process and why you make some decisions, and I get to laugh at the jokes. Your videos bring such joy, and I really appreciate your hard work producing these for us. Have a blessed day everyone.
My late husband loved his Martin, but he always said that found Martins harder to play, as well. When he got his Taylor, he was in love!! He played music professionally, and said it was the best investment he ever made.
I would love to see a whole video dedicated to pests and diseases. You could use pics if you don’t have examples of your own. This is a great job for Aaron to research footage for you to use.
I am so excited to see you back in your original grass lawn spot! Having been here since, gosh, I think before you lived in this house, it will feel so nostalgic to see you back in that spot!
Locating your hive somewhere you do not travel closely by is important. The flyway of the bees leaving and going back to the hive can be intense at times (think bee freeway).
i must day… why explaining yourselves regarding your spraying.. i mean, do what work. costs so much effort and money to make your space beautiful.. and let a pest eat your garden not to offend so org on the internet… 🙄🙄 spray your heart out and hv a fantastically beautiful lovely space!!
So because YOU can’t pronounce the name of a business, (which I’m assuming is someone’s surname?) everyone should change their business name to something YOU can pronounce? It’s all about you Laura 🙄
In the winter, you could do a video asking for submission of plant disease footage, etc., and then guide us through some different scenarios like you used to do the submission videos
Hello, I live in North Idaho and our air quality is 159. It is so smokey here, worse than a few weeks ago. How is your air quality in Ontario? Say hello to Susan & Monica.
You will not believe this. Literally, I’m on a trip in Tahoe for my anniversary with my husband last month, using the Merlin bird app, and came across a huge tree with a squirrel chucking big, green, hard, pinecones right at us. You just recounted my story!
One plant I have never seen you use in your garden is fothergilla (dwarf bottle brush). I garden in eastern Washington in your same climate and I would highly recommend. It would be great as an understory plant towards the front of a bed in a place you might be trying to emulate a more natural setting, like the dream stream or the dirt lands. I planted mine in front of a low evergreen, under the open canopy of a contorted larch, with japanese anemone and Siberian iris. They are totally low maintenence, have 4 seasons of interest, the blossoms smell like honey, the foliage is a nice grey green with an interesting leaf shape and the autumn foliage color is glorious! During winter you can enjoy the interesting branching structure. They SLOWLY will spread by natural layering process if you are mulching deeply with bark. I see that Proven Winners has this plant as "Legend of the Small bottlebrush".
I find when you let life happen naturally you become more successful rather than forcing things & situations "your way no matter what!!" You may end up creating chaos. Plus, life is less stressful when you allow nature to take it course. In my humble opinion, as well as observation of people's lives I know well.
I looked up their " plant right " website and you can only send inquiries about their products which lends to they probably only do bulk orders. I'd like to buy like 10 or so every couple of years. Highly disappointed I couldn't just purchase a few because they look to be perfect for growing up trees for bonsai.
Hey Aaron, We have pallet racking in our pole barn with a reclaimed asphalt footing (like gravel) the racks are a tiny bit uneven but has been fine and up for 4 years with implementations in them. Give it a try – so much better than all on the ground.
Hi Laura, in response to the question concerning if you have videos on how to deal with pests in a new garden = I have a question for you: Does Oregon have a Master Gardener program? I am in California and I am currently enrolled in the Master Gardener program for Riverside County California. We are being trained to help answer such questions for gardeners using research/science based research. Instead of making a video where you have to do the research maybe you could do a video where you speak in the garden with an "expert" or Master Gardener. In the winter when you have less videos in the garden to film you could speak with the expert in the Hartley. Maybe a short series of videos to have as fillers when you don't have winter projects. Just a thought. I love you and your family and the videos you produce and don't want to take away from what you do. I just thought a Master Gardener type could be a resource so you don't have to do the extra research. Best always, Karla Kadow

There is so much joy from watching children learn new things and experience life ❤❤❤ that NEVER changes. 😊
Could a pumpkin plant be planted in a pot?…if you don't have much garden space?

CUSTOM ORDER LASERED LABELS FROM AN ETSY SHOP.🫶🏼👍👍

Your pruning boxwoods video, back when the gazebo was still there, was how I found GA!

I can't find pansies either.

I have a Falcon 3 laser, and it does a great job on stainless plant tags.

Yes, bring on the cooler weather!
I could live with it being 75 degrees with a breeze year round.
Love cool nights!
Laura and Aaron also family helpers good morning! Have lovely perfect day! Huggers and love!❤😊❤
Love your garden how cool! ❤😊❤
I’ve been wondering….Do you homeschool your kids? I’ve noticed they always seem to be home while you’re working in your garden.

Hmmm, custom garden tags coming soon to the GardenAnswer store!
Hope you find pansies!❤😊❤

My husband’s first Taylor was a 814CE 1997 build, he said it looks like the same guitar..what was Aaron’s?
Still hoping for the Garden Answer ZIP up HOODIES! Maybe on that Christmas list? ( fingers crossed 🤞🏻)…..🥰
