A Project Gone Awry 🥴 & Transplanting a Venus Dogwood! 🌳 // Garden Answer

"You're doing a great job Mama!" "There...that's perfect! Great job!" Your little boy is so sweet! The fact that he knows how to speak like this shows that he's growing up in loving house full of positive affirmation

Everywhere I look in my yard and garden I see where Lauren and Aaron have helped me become better. From drip, designing and choice of plants thanks for teaching us to try different things.

[@cbvickers4044]

I agree Mary! We now have drip tube working all over our 3/4 acre yard and I bought my 1st fountain this week. So love these videos. 🥰

[@lmhatfield46]

So true. I’ve learned so much about the phases of gardening even if I don’t plan to use them. Love learning it all.

[@tilaramonroe3567]

This is so true! I was just doing my morning walk about and thinking the same!

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

Yes! This is 100% on point.

[@Bamboo4U2]

Please only go through the work of installing drip irrigation if you need it. Here in NJ, we get ten inches *OVER* the average precipitation (48") *and* we don't have hard water, which, for us, that means: we don't need drip irrigation and if we do need to water, sprinklers are just fine. Garden for your area, not Laura's. 👍

[@foreverbloomswithjennifer8859]

I love seeing you allow Benjamin to “help” you with projects. It’s a reminder to me to take things slow with my six year old in the garden. It’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey 😍😍😍

[@tammym110]

I love that Benjamin is in more videos. He is so cute. You can tell he speaking what he hears. “You’re doing a great job Momma” “there that’s perfect” “great job” His speech is improving by leaps and bounds. He really wants to be out there with you and Aaron helping you. What an education he is getting. When he gets to school and they have the kids plant a bean seed in a paper cup to germinate, he will yawn and explain to the class how to load equipment into the gator and build a bean trellis. Haha. I love the new pathway with the mulch.

[@joanneedwards5630]

His whole class will be ahead of the game as Laura will be invited in as a volunteer I'm guessing (teacher speaking here)!

[@Sisteryoda1440]

It’s amazing to watch him growing up so fast!! Can’t wait for Samantha Grace become a part of the “helping”! 💕🥰

Lol! 😂

[@tammychesonis]

I can do it Aaron unless you wanna, OH I wanna! Then Aaron's smile... Reminds me of the sunflower last year.... 🤣😂 Benjamin is the bestest helper ever! He is so cute with all his tattoos and how sweet he tells you good job momma. Much love ❤❤

[@Lifeofwiley]

As you were planting the dogwood with Benjamin, there were vast views towards the house. And I’m starting to imagine not just brown dust, but green grass, trees, and all the changes that are going to happen. You should definitely make a point of taking comparative perspective pictures to see how dramatically things are going to evolve over the years.

Good morning all! I had hand and wrist surgery last month that has me unable to do much in the garden, which in turn has me completely bummed! Watching these videos helps tremendously! Even if I can’t get out in my yard I can live vicariously through Laura and Aaron’s! Have a great day everyone!!
