My wife (Shirley) loved watching you, and we watched you guys every morning while we ate our breakfast. I lost her last Sunday, and wanted you to know how much she enjoyed ya'll. She was my wife for 47 years, and I can't imagine life without her.

[@brendagarnett6007]

So Sorry for your loss.

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

What a great tribute to watch for her. Our condolences.

[@holberthomestead]

My deepest condolences to you and your family

[@heatherwoods5703]

Praying for you. Comfort and peace that passes understanding. 🙏🙏💗

[@amamo22]

I am so sorry for your loss, my our Lord God bring you comfort and inner peace

[@sarabrown461]

The editing during the kitty interruption 😂. I don't know who edits the videos these days, but I am so entertained by the subtle little interjections, word effects, and nods in them. Thank you for the chuckles.

[@jilljones9305]

For the recap video: I think a Garden Answer branded potting tray like this one would be a best seller! I know people have been asking for years about this specific one.

[@rosemarythyme6351]

"And the angels rejoice!" Says the preacher's son with hands lifted high. Thanks for the laugh, Aaron! 😆Hope that makes the Highlights recap. The Hartley does look fresh and ready for the next thing. 🌺🌺🌺

[@raeperonneau4941]

😂

[@serenababy6358]

That was so funny!

[@smoothsailingmp]

Loved that you got so many plants out of your last winter sow pot😊

[@kathierogers3208]

I knew Aaron was going to be happy to see them gone. 😊. I loved his reaction.

[@ilohmeyer]

RECAP VIDEO QUESTION👋🏼 Could I make a request to make a series called “Back To Basics”? I love seeing all the renovations, but I would love to go old school. Like maybe which perennials need fertilizing each year? Pests and how to treat, plant diseases and also how to treat. How and when to prune annuals/perennials. I hope I’m not the only one that would appreciate this kind of content✌🏼❤️

[@daphnemine]

She has put that information in countless past videos. Just do a search for your topic and you’ll find it.

[@gaelsterner2815]

"And the angels rejoice " Gotta love Aaron. The artichokes reminded me of Seymore from little shop of horrors. 😂

[@pollytiks3885]

Me too!! 😂

[@tammiebrown6717]

I always enjoy watching. I loved it when Aaron came out and said, "The angels rejoice." That was funny.

[@wagnerab1958]

"and the angels rejoice" Haha. I agree with Aaron it looks so much better

[@CatCaretakerID]

She didn't need the Gator, but I would have liked to see that. "And the Angels Rejoice." wonderful. I feel Laura's trepidation about separating them. 55 plants - that's awesome.

[@chrissihr1031]

I have always loved those artichokes and the prehistoric vibe they gave the greenhouse. It always made me smile because it reminded me of something Morticia Addams might grow, all wild and unruly and ready to eat you, in her conservatory. 😄 Or something they might grow in the greenhouses at Jurassic Park that would make the dinosaurs feel at home. Of course, all plants have a defined lifespan and their time had come, but what fun they were while you had them! ❤

[@pollytiks3885]

Could not have said it better!

[@nevawebb590]

I agree!

[@MrsReed-lf9iz]

🎶Little Shop.. Little Shop of Horrors🎶 That’s what the artichokes remind me of 😆

[@juliekane1156]

I love the close-ups of your technique when handling plants, Laura. That, along with the sound, shows me just how much force I can use when pulling roots apart. Thanks again for help in fine-tuning my garden skills.😊

[@blendedwithmadonnadevlin6520]

And the Angels rejoiced! Aaron made me crack up! 😂

[@jackiedavies9020]

What about planting the mums in the cold frames, since they are ready for the ground. They will look so gorgeous in the fall! 🍂🍁 Y’all are my inspiration, love your garden and everything you do!😊

[@donnagent6046]

Love how you got 55 plants out of the jug. That’s definitely budget gardening.

[@JeanneKinland]

I can't tell how long I've waited for this day. I'm on TEAM ARRON!

[@marymurphy4825]

hahahaha I don't usually leave a comment, but today is the day!! lol Aaron's reaction to the artichokes that were pulled out was priceless! 🤣

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Good Morning! 🪻 The Artichoke Experiment was fun to watch & the purple blooms were beautiful! Zinnias will be pretty in the cold frames! Wow, 55 plants in one jug! That grass is so pretty! 🥰🌾💚

[@barbararobinson-cs3ym]

Those artichokes was really enjoying their life there. Can not wait for the new water addition with those grasses.

[@Katsimagination21]

Laura, that sweet evergreen tree that is by the cold frames you just emptied got me thinking how cool would it be to plant those cold frames with small evergreens in the fall and create a village inside for the winter with lights, snow people,etc, it would look like a snow globe in there for the holidays and the kids would LOVE it I bet ! Maybe brainstorm some kind of ideas with your mom and Monica 😊

[@rimeandreason]

Aaron 🤣 “ and the angels rejoice” sooooo funny…. artichokes are gone. Watched him three times coming out.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

I do believe I heard a sigh of relief from the Hartley. 😂

[@chichitex1252]

It was nice to see the artichokes go, even though they were beautiful for a LONG time. This was a fun video, especially watching the process for getting those grass shoots separated and potted up. Thanks for the Sunday evening treat!❤❤❤

[@shellyroman1321]

Is it Sunday where you live? It is Tuesday at my house🤔

[@kerryschultz7116]

😂

[@jacquelenebennett4028]

Wednesday night here 😮

[@chichitex1252]

Ha! You can tell I was tired! I thought it was Sunday!

[@shellyroman1321]

@@chichitex1252 🤣💛

[@dorothydecesare1607]

Is this where they belong? Yes, in a heap! Love the back and forth between you and Aaron … You are truly blessed!😊😇😂💕

[@sf55514]

The Artichokes put on a wild beautiful display.

[@janeclancey8044]

That made Aaron so happy! I agree that the Hartley deserves the beauty it is meant to display inside and out!

[@sandy-rm9ds]

I think the artichokes would make a beautiful flower arrangement.

[@janew5351]

Selling the roots so someone else could enjoy them next year! Did you eat any?

[@lindawashington500]

I hope you saved the flowers that were still pretty as they dry beautifully! They even retain their honey scent. Be beautiful in some of your beautiful wreaths.

[@lindaga820]

Yes, I was wondering if she was saving some of those also !

[@patriciaalbertson5183]

I was also wondering about the most with color, especially

[@angiefasnacht5079]

I was thinking the same thing❤

[@conniebarnes3326]

Loved “and the angels rejoice” 😅

[@iceman3195]

Those artichokes were spectacular. The contrast in shape, form, just the general vibe to the architecture of the Hartley... just so engaging!

[@maryrasnick7642]

I’m hoping to see Laura use some of the artichoke flower heads in a floral arrangement ! Did anyone else feel the same? Not even sure if that’s possible? We’ll wait and see what Laura does with them! ❤….if Aaron hasn’t dumped the gator in a hurry 😂! It looks great, Laura and Aaron, to see it fresh and clean, ready for a new look! ❤

[@melialei]

That grass would look great inside a pumpkin in a few months.😊

[@stevennguyen4993]

I absolutely LOVE that grass! It's so whispy. Contained, yet perfect for a natural scene.

[@marja1038]

Aaron’s “ Oh let the angels rejoice”. I almost busted a gut laughing. He’s come so far since many years ago when he wanted to only be behind the camera and quiet!

[@donnawestland6773]

Loved Aaron's reaction 😊

[@donnabrock8861]

Love the Hartley!! Love Aaron's reaction.

[@kerryschultz7116]

I loved the artichokes so much, but it does look nice and fresh now. Excited to see a new crop of flowers sprouting out of the boxes this fall 💐. Maybe sometime you could do a dwarf sunflower for some fall color arrangements 🌻! Another one Aaron would just love 😂

[@lindabourgeois103]

I can see why you were ready for the artichokes to come out. One more task off your list. I'm not usually a fan of grasses, however, the way you use them is beautiful. I love the grass around your pond. What a great application. Hard to believe you had that many starts in one little container! They will look great around your pond extension. Thanks for all your inspiration and enthusiasm!

[@camillesnyder6604]

White cosmos would be so pretty in the cold frames next spring!

[@donnagent6046]

I love your tidiness. It makes everything look so much better.

[@jeannareece773]

When is the next antiquing video? Plus a nice long lunch! For those of us who go antiquing and lunch vicariously through you!!!😀

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Yay!! They have been so beautiful, but turning into “Little Shop of Horrors” vibe 😜🫣🤣🤣

[@fromseedtobloommedia9340]

Talking about bang for your buck, I also planted Blue gramma grass from seed, got the seeds over winter as last years seed so I may have paid $1, Botanical interest seeds. Had to be thousands of seeds in that package, I planted just a few and I have about 15 nice size grasses, I dotted anywhere I can fit one and still have plants potted.

[@joydavis4087]

Thanks for the info on Botanical Interest.

[@dianegougelet1829]

Hi Guys~ WHOA!! The pond area plantings are AAHH-MAZING!! I truly can't believe how natural that area looks... as if they've been there forever. 👍👍 I enjoyed watching the life cycle of the artichokes. Personally, I would have eaten quite a few, tho the flowers are very pretty. I hope you grow them again somewhere else. Love your channel💚☀😼🐟🙋

[@cynthiaann4465]

The artichokes looked like aliens taking over the world 😮😂 Yay for Zinnias❣️

[@MsFigure9]

I love the artichokes also, I think they are beautiful! I also love the way you guys support each other!

[@blendedwithmadonnadevlin6520]

I feel like my day can’t start till I watch your daily video. Since it’s gotten hotter and I need to get my own gardening done early I feel myself wishing your videos posted earlier…1. Because I find them motivating and 2. If they posted earlier I would have to wait to watch. 1st world problems! 😂

[@cherylt6888]

The Hartley looks so fresh and clean!!! A fresh crop of flowers await.

[@upnorth21]

I was hoping to see you make an arrangement with the Artichoke flowers that still looked good. They are so pretty. I would call that milk jug a great success also! Great that they lasted until you were ready to repot!

[@debbybrown5961]

I know Arron is glad to see the artichokes go, but they were a fun experiment. They did look nice when they were first growing. Who knew they could grow that big!

[@Peoniesandpinks]

The angels rejoice! I laughed so hard Aaron

[@helenazzopardi1713]

I do like it when Aaron participates in the conversation.

[@amoijoy573]

I am very eager for a floral agreement & a antique shopping trip with Laura, Susan & Monica! When is the sit down interview with dad?

[@dotw2172]

If you search Q&A with my dad, you can watch it. I think it was posted in February

[@sheilastromberger2275]

She did an hour long Q&A with her dad last winter.

[@TheWuggies]

I'm with Aaron on this...those artichokes were a strange choice in such a gorgeous formal garden. I was shocked they stayed in there for 2 years.

[@beverlyasleson3321]

What a fun day taking out the artichokes it will look nice with whatever flowers you pick. Lots a grass was separated good job.

[@janettefisher256]

I’m with Aaron on getting those artichokes out ! Praying , you plant something more beautiful in the Hartley planters . Just saying 🏡💕

[@sandratalbert9578]

👍👍👍 Wow the Artichokes really loved their lives in the Hartley cold frames huh? Couldn’t believe there were over 50 grass plants in one gallon jug…Kudos!!!

[@smellslikedirt525]

I painted my t posts black several years ago. I love how they just seem to disappear without that white top! Yours look great!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Laura ☕️ Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈

[@lindafreeman1687]

I loved Aarons reaction to the artichokes being gone. Gaura and salvia would look pretty peeking out of the boxes. So soft and wispy. Great idea to paint the T-posts black. Looks like they were made for a garden instead of a pasture. Love the way the pond area is looking and so anxious to get the stream project going. Is that still going to happen in August?

[@joycefinney2735]

OCTOBER.

[@Mrs.Charlene]

Those grasses around the pond are spectacular!!!!! 🌹

[@tamerarobinson3166]

I bet that weeping Willow will love that Burgandy "gold". My Globe willow sure liked the chelated iron.

[@khall1166]

Sorry to see the artichokes go. I loved the old fashioned style they brought to the Hartley.

[@debbieross7745]

I’m on team Aaron with the artichokes. That beautiful building and formal gardens with the prehistoric plants going wild …

[@emilyneal7888]

Aaron feels the victory! 🎉😂

[@barbb.9489]

Laura, the black posts look so much better, well done! ❤ I love seeing Aaron happy! 😂❤😂

[@user-fo6kq1wc6l]

I love how the kitties are always close to you while you're outside. At least when it's so hot, you can chip away at the little projects that get put to the side when you're so busy. LOVE Aaron's response...I literally chuckled out loud. Stay cool and hydrated, go swimming!

[@debrascott8775]

Love a refreshing project like this. Aaron's reaction was fantastic. Can't wait to see what's next for this space.

[@andrewf6625]

Those grasses could also look really beautiful out in the tree loop. Such beautiful interest.

[@kathy8832]

Good morning! Those artichokes were amazing but it was time! It must be so satisfying to get things buttoned up especially in this heat. We’ve had warmer weather for awhile but the humidity has been horrible & rain, wind with tornadoes the last few days. So looking forward to cooler weather and Fall!

[@juelclyne7392]

lol at Aaron’s reaction to the artichokes being gone 😂😂😂

[@Daimon-ls6no]

The artichoke blooms are so pretty!💜

[@didi46]

I'm with Aaron on this one - glad to see those artichokes gone! They just seemed too wild and overgrown-looking for that beautiful, formal space.

[@vmcougarintn5035]

Russel looked so comfortable laying there under the willow. Those are some neat looking grasses. I would love to grow some artichokes, however, with my instability just now I won't. Thanks for sharing.

[@emilymaxwell6615]

And the angels rejoiced hahahaha big mood!

[@vallietmc9553]

We really like the artichokes as much as you! So striking and its color is so impressive! The placement in the Hartley was a great idea! How funm would it be to have some of the pathway trails elevated with it rising and falling along the route? And what about integrating that same concept into other future pathways which would give it great interest and enjoyment while hiking around the property? Remember that the future of the property is going to be very natural. Have you considered planting a couple of willow trees on the new property, just to bring continuity to the property with the house plot?

[@VirginiaMathews94]

I think zinnias will look beautiful popping out of the Hartley! ❤

[@janettaylor5692]

So beautiful! Drone footage was awesome! Great job to all your family.🙌

[@iancampbell168]

I hope you plant artichokes again, absolutely loved those! -sorry Aaron 😁

[@gwendearling4139]

I love all your experiments! I was fascinated by the artichokes growing.

[@Nikki7B]

The artichoke blooms are so beautiful 😍. I'm so happy I found your channel and got into gardening. You got me obsessed with salvia...lol something I finally purchased this year, and love the blueish purple colour and all the bumble bees on them. I believe a new favourite for me :)

[@cadre500]

The pond area looks fantastic. You have achieved a natural appearance in just one year. I can't wait to see what the stream looks like once it is installed and landscaped. Thank you for sharing your videos with the public they are inspiring and a joy to watch.

[@tericamcginnis5848]

Maybe your watching will help you feel close to her. What a tough time. So sorry for your loss. 💚💙💜💛🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jacknessmonster]

The South garden❤😍my fav and it keeps getting better and better

[@flower-the-earth]

Yes, the Hartley has been unburdened. 😆

[@colormealice]

I have to say those artichoke blossoms were actually stunning! I never knew they had blossoms like that. They were gorgeous.

[@Brenda-fp5te]

Great vedio. Sometimes our plants are like our children. They need a little extra attention & so worth it.

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️

[@HoustonKeith72]

I have to tell you I LOVED the artichokes. I thought it was a brilliant look.

[@wildbullfrog957]

Thank you for your content. I often find little helpful nuggets of information that are not the main topic. I had not thought of growing grass in the winter jugs but definitely will this next winter.

[@arlenehudson1719]

I have enjoyed the strong architecture of those artichokes! How fun to see them bloom. Fun experiment!!

[@JD-zb4ve]

Artichoke hearts are so yummy soaked in olive oil!!

[@katebettwy8781]

I loved watching these projects today! Your enthusiasm to tackle projects never fails to give me the motivation I need to cross things off my own garden To Do list. As always when watching you complete a task, I wonder how long it takes in real time. Would you be able to you let us know that when showing the end result? I find it so helpful to know how long something takes when trying to plan my own garden chores- even though I am certain you are faster than I will ever be!

[@lauraowen8867]

I laughed out loud with “Let the Angels Rejoice!” 😂 I remember back in the day when Aaron was just the “camera guy” and said very, very little. I still learn so much from you both! Thanks for all you do! 🌿💚

[@AlishaLorencc]

That was certainly a record scratch moment 😂 the cats are funny.

[@robertbrown7615]

The artichokes remind me a little of the 'Little Shop of Horrors' plants! Like they could talk and reach out and grab you!

[@susanvonrauensteinbreuls6058]

I also love the artichokes there will miss them but cant wait to see what you are going to plant next

[@LPASLAY]

"Oh, and the angels rejoice" I was a work and I laughed out loud! lol

[@pattidavis8043]

I love grasses, you've inspired me to plant seed. So exciting!
