Could We Get a Tour of Your Parent's Yard? // What Happened to Your Bunny? // Recap 🌿

[@dianequist835]

I literally laughed out loud with the conversation with full time employees! Remember when Laura and Aaron forgot about Ken, and he put in a cameo appearance about how he did some woodworking for them? It was so funny and clever. And here we see how the current editor has put in his own clever insertions. This was SO great!!!!

[@kathleen9728]

[@trishrobinson1523]

Aaron, we live in Missouri and we frequently have frozen mix or ice before snow. We had to worry about our fountains freezing. Before covering them we would fill the bowls with empty liter pop bottles or water bottles. That way when water gets in and freezes it will expand and instead of cracking fountain bowls it will crush the bottles and allow space. It worked great for us.

[@joannam369]

So funny! The whole time they were listing off employees, I was saying Taylor! To the screen. 😂 Taylor, you are doing a great job! I’m enjoying the added images and effects in the videos, recaps,in particular.

Don’t forget the editor! Goodness, he deserves an “editor appreciation day” all to himself! I often wonder if he has to look up all the things when either one of you says, “we’ll put a link up for that!” Does he cringe when he hears that? Anyway, Kudos to Taylor…your hard work is appreciated by all of us! ❤

Laura sounding insulted that the rabbit found a better garden 😂

[@laraemitchell9064]

Bunnies are so cute. Until they overrun your garden. My first thought about where the bunny went was more sinister. Maybe a hawk got it. It’s really a learning experience for me, having grown up so close to where Laura is, without rabbits as a garden challenge. Now I’m transplanted to Oklahoma, in our subdivision there are LOTS of cottontails. And probably because of that, there are lots of hawks right in the neighborhood.

[@terrihart2133]

[@lilygirl2719]

Bunnies do have predators that grab them also. Thankfully because they breed like, well, rabbits.

Hi Guys, I've been on the fence about buying the drill and auger and your conversation just convinced me. I dream to have a smidgen of as beautiful a garden as you have. Love how you mix annuals and perennials and native plants. Love all your content on your channel.

[@majorzipf8947]

The editor is really stellar. He strikes a perfect balance between staying true to the simple natural style of this channel and bringing in the more modern humorous editing trends. Amazing job for sure. He gets the trends but also gets this audience.

[@Kati-did]

I really love seeing Taylor's sense of humor in the videos. It is really fun. I love that y'all have such a great team!

[@lauramason9250]

***Question for Aaron *** Would you please use the drone and show us the bloom stalk on the Mangave in the south garden? I would, and maybe others too, like to see an up close view of that bloom. I've never seen one in person and I'm curious as heck! 😊😊

[@malindamiller845]

Aaron I feel you. There is nothing soothing to me about bright white lights. I hate when I add something new in and it’s bright white, it just stands out in a negative way for me. Warm light lover all the way for me lol.

[@leapintothewild]

I’m like that in my living spaces, but I have to have the pure blue-white bulbs in my art/sewing studio to see true colors. I also love it for the stand lamp next to my reading chair, can see so much better - but doesn’t help my insomnia when I really need to go to bed! 😂

[@heatherw.2751]

While the grass was suffering from the willow being a water hog, it was also helping to shade the willow’s roots. So removing the grass left the roots of the willow that much more exposed to sun even though they’re underground. I think that played a part in the willow yellowing out along with the water being shut off in that area.

[@AliPillette]

Yes. I am loving Taylor’s editing. And his music is top-notch

[@lolahiggins5951]

I learn so much especially from the re-cap videos. Just wanted to share a tip with you. I use to work at a larger greenhouse facility. When seasonal people or new employees came on board, they were given a hand out sheet titled, Speak Like a Grower. We found it so much easier when everyone called a tool the same thing. Like the end of the watering wand. We called it a breaker, because that’s what the tool does, breaks the water coming out of the hose. We just found that when we all spoke the same language it made the whole process so much easier. Kind of like how you guys named 25 areas of your property so everyone clearly knows which garden or area you mean.

Something that works for hard water clogging hose spouts - keep your lemon halves from cooking and use those (secured with a rubber band) on the hose end. The acid from the lemons dissolves the minerals. This also works for indoor taps and showers.

[@mcheartw]

Spray distilled vinegar will solve that issue as well.

[@lindab1458]

I put mine in a jug full of warm water with a spoonful of citric acid. (same as I do for showerheads) Cleans so easily 👍🏼

Dear Laura and Aaron, I can’t tell you how you have changed my retirement life! I have purpose and you both inspire me daily. We purchased a three-tier fountain three years ago. Over the winter we drain and use burlap, BUT… we then purchased some custom 1/4” thick (?) acrylic/plastic to lay over each level. We applied some grey weatherstripping to the underside of the acrylic between the fountain and plastic to keep the moisture from seeping into the bowls. Yes, we had to disassemble the top two tiers to put the plastic down but we get to enjoy the unobstructed fountain in the winter. Hope this helps. It sure has worked for us. Keep doing what you’re doing ❣️

Agree with you Aaron, that you must be well aware of where you put your hands. I admit I often reach into a plant to pull a weed unaware of what is nearby. A local landscaper failed to follow this awareness and was bitten by a copperhead. He survived but it put him out of commission first a while.

Aaron - There are recycling services for drip tape - I used to hear the ads on the radio when I lived in the California Central Valley. I believe the service is free. If your amount doesn't meet minimum for pick-up, a local farmer will probably allow you to add to their pile for disposal.

[@amysgardenstead2879]

I have lots of rocks and many large rocks. I have had to remove rocks with a pry bar. Sometimes your hole needs to be made a lot bigger to remove the rocks. I still use an auger when doing mass planting. I have the Laura addition auger for planting bulbs and all the plants I grow from seed. Our garden club plants many beds for the town. The club decided they won’t plant without me and my auger again. The picture in the local paper had me and my auger front and center.

[@Ladybugsandflowers]

Great wrap up. Love everything you do, Laura and Aaron. We have black widows here on our 40 acres in Kentucky. My children have been taught to be aware of the strong, deceivingly messy webs, and to never reach into darker areas without gloves, like you explained. Though this spring, I did not heed my own teachings. And as Aaron said, pots with lips are great spaces for black widows. I was trying to remove an egg sac, when I noticed just how strong and sticky the sac was, and out came Momma. She almost got my hand. She was aggressive, but it had been my fault for not checking the pot first. She was only aggressive because I was messing with her eggs. I try to let most of our spiders be, venomous and non, but sometimes it cannot be helped. Thank you for all that you show, share, inspire, and teach us.

I was listening to your problem with water deposits clogging up your pumps. I was thinking that if you put water softener salt pellets in the water should keep the mineral depots at bay. I know our home water is hard water and before we had our water softener installed, our taps looked awful with white water spots on everything. Our coffee pot would plug up as well. Now that we have a water softener everything works great. Hopefully this will work for your fountains. Good luck...love your show.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Do you water any plants with your softened water ? I was always concerned that my plants would be affected by the salt in the water so I’ve held back on getting a water softener. Salt usually equals dead plants ? 🌺💚🙃

[@alekgust]

I’m not sure it’s the water softener pellets that make the water sort. It’s the resin. The salt cleans the resin tank from the accumulation of deposits. If you put the pellets in, the minerals are still in the water, not being removed. But maybe I don’t understand how water softeners work
