Digging Dahlias & Satisfying Annual Cleanup! 🥰🙌🍂 // Garden Answer

[@lindab424]

Wow, Paul and Bethany don't muck around do they, they get stuck in. I was in awe of Paul rolling up plants like a old carpet. That was impressive!

[@staceyallard2692]

It was pretty cool, huh? lol

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it.

[@titosrevenger]

I read your comment before I saw that part of the video and I was still dumbfounded. I need to plant more drifts of annuals.

[@missbiggs9437]

I so agree with you. I was amazed by how he rolled it and wondered why I never thought of doing something like this before. We need to somehow clone Paul and Bethany like 1000 times so we can all have them in our lives too!! ❤❤

[@ashac7183]

That was so satisfying 😂

[@JCwax-bri]

Paul is like the elusive "Wilson" from Home Improvements. You never get a full view of him completely, but he leaves a big impact! I want a Paul!!

[@linsmith2310]

😊❤😊

[@missthang4770]

What are the odds of finding two people who work as hard and smart as Laura herself! Paul and Bettany are treasures!

[@babieangels]

Watching Paul and Bethany get all that clean-up done was so SATISFYING! 🙏❤️🙏

[@sonnysome3201]

Yes! Especially Paul rolling that flowerbed up :D So neat.

[@gabygarcia8367]

I was thinking just the same! 😂❤

[@Tina37212]

Have to agree! LOL

[@Beautyliptalk]

Yes! I did enjoy watching Paul roll the flower bed! Good ending of video seeing it all tidy up.

[@melissaharris5932]

I loved all of it but wish they could leave the leaves on the ground around the trees until spring. Leaf litter is important winter cover for so many pollinators. We started leaving the leaves in the beds on our property and the difference in the amount of pollinators in the last two seasons has been noticable.

[@bethjackson6358]

What I love about Mr. Paul and Miss Bethany is the pride they take in their work. They work so hard and have so much pride you would think it is their own garden. I absolutely love them both. You have found a jewel of a pair there.

[@dalemink7631]

What a great video explaining the process!

[@helenjubert4744]

They absolutely do ! I dont think I've ever seen Paul without his hat.

[@carollykins9475]

I agree, I need to up my clean out game!

[@sylviamarques4822]

Paul and Bethany, you can see take pride in their work.

[@yumikodebold6197]

💯 agree 😊

[@lisafenno4563]

Wow, Paul and Bethany are a dream team. Clean up looks great

[@jaleinegreen7411]

Now, you guys! On your recap video, do you plan on showing us how the turkey and cheesy potato salad turned out?? What a HUGE tease that was! We are dying in suspense! 😋😋

[@anaelechavez8358]

May God Bless Paul and Bethany , May they never lack any good thing May they always have plenty and May their health be strong.

[@verawallace9055]

Amen 🙏🙏

[@terri.schenk]

Amen!

[@venusdimples556]

Amen. :)

[@corrinejohnston4185]

And just like that, winter is on its way. I can't believe that Paul was able to roll up all the flowers like that. That must have been so satisfying. ❤😊

[@jewelllowe3054]

I imagine you consider Paul and Bethany family, you are blessed to have them as part of your life. 🍂🍁🌾🌻

[@donnawalker3910]

That is wild how Paul was able to roll up those supertunias like a rug! Bizarrely satisfying ☺

[@janeclancey8044]

Laura, you certainly work hard to overwinter the dahlias, but definitely worth the effort! You, Paul, and Bethany deserve a hand of applause 👏👏👏!

[@debbiesineath1952]

Bethany and Paul are hard workers! Y’all are blessed to have them !

[@karenwestby-gibson758]

There needs to be more Paul and Bethanys in this world. They have great workmanship! That’s such a gift in these times.

[@prettyinspireddecor6787]

Paul and Bethany are such an integral part of your gardening business. They are truly fabulous workers who care about their work. Kudos to them both. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@3jackysil]

Paul and Bethany do a fantastic job! Very Meticulous 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@kimeeegngarden4887]

I decided to dig my ornamental sweet potato tubers using this method. I have a few acres, many flower beds and a family wedding next summer. Hopefully, I can get a jump on the season by storing, dividing and planting my tubers the way Laura does. I want lush, full beds and hopefully this experiment reusing my sweet potato vines leaves more in my budget to go crazy purchasing Sure Fire Begonias! 🎉

[@auntiemo103]

Wow, I’m satisfied to get 1-2 flower beds (of 12 total areas) cleaned out/re-edged, per day this fall, a bit slow going in my older age--what a blessing it would be to have a Paul and Bethany! So awesome to see their hard work in helping you keep your beautiful property in top form!

[@sydneeonthego]

I need a Paul and Bethany duo in my life.

[@linsmith2310]

I really want too say; Lov them tables, oh my goodness 😊 are they ever handy 😊 Enjoying how U just get into the process and project ❤😊 Lov, Lov 😊

[@alldayidreamaboutplants]

It’s a beautiful thing to see this level of care and attention to detail in everyone! It’s so inspiring

[@lindaguerrero7129]

i love what Paul and Bethany do!

[@TerryGoetz-js8ht]

Now is when your planning for winter structure pays off. When a garden looks beautiful with no flowers, you’ve done it just right. It’s truly lovely!!

[@staceyh8654]

Awww to see the begonias go was sad. They did so well!

[@holly_kay5570]

Paul & Bethany--WOW!!!

[@marthaz1183]

Laura with your expertise in gardens, and knowledge with agriculture 👩‍🌾 has really helped me tremendously in learning about plants. With the help of your parents has made you an expert. Truly blessed to have found your videos. Would be a blessing to travel to Oregon and shop at the Andrews nursery. ❤ 🪴 💐. ✌️

[@WeirdMeansSupernatural]

Soooooooo SATISFYING when Paul rolled those petunias up like a carpet !!!! 💜

[@alainagardingislife]

Yes! Exactly what I was thinking!

[@Tambisme]

Yeah, that was pretty cool!

[@robertparker8669]

Wow. What a productive day. Paul had a neat way of getting the plants out, roll them up like old carpet.

[@charlenelindsay2019]

Thank you Paul and Bethany. Your diligence and dedication to helping Laura and Aaron is so appreciated. Thank you for your contribution to the success of Garden Answers. Hugs💞

[@Meems56]

We’re all Paul and Bethany fans! ❣️ Can’t wait to hear about the fried turkey!

[@joannechapman8455]

Love that you highlighted Paul and Bethany!!! They are such an important part of your team…and deserve the recognition😊.

[@vickyoakes4584]

It's nice to know people are treating your garden just as you would.

[@kathrynzschech9478]

I’m so glad you showed the reality of what you face looked like with the dirt on your face- I’m always a mess after gardening.

[@patgirome9821]

...🦃🦃🦃and the turkey ???? Paul and Bethany are fantastic !!! There needs to be a Garden Answer give away.... one day garden chore of your choice featuring Paul & Bethany !!! ☺🌲🌾🌱🌻

[@esterklerfors7965]

Wonderful! I need a Paul and a Bethany in my life too. 💚 And great to see that Laura doesn’t back of from the really dirty work in the garden. 💪 It made me smile from ear to ear seeing the whole outfit covered in mud in the end.😁

[@buckeyejen1076]

Paul and Bethany are treasures! ❤

[@Onandpopping23]

Paul and Bethany cleaning up the areas was just an exhale moment.. ❤😊

[@micaelrutledge5176]

Aaron, one year my brother fried a turkey and had not assembled the frier properly. It took FOREVER! After 4 ish hours, his best friend looked at the frier and said “I think you’re closer to saving it than you are to eating it!” We all howled with laughter and were thankful for the HAM!

[@tonigardella4165]

I think Paul and Bethany take so much pride in their work , you certainly got lucky having them work with you !

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

🎉Go Paul and Bethany! I see how you couldn’t do it without them. Man…I wanted to see the turkey. 🦃

[@staceyallard2692]

Me too!! lol

[@ardiscovert7847]

This is my favorite music when Paul & Bethany are cleaning up!

[@lisag6796]

Mine too!

[@flynnetc2530]

Hi Laura & Aaron, I am a member of Dahlia Growers on Facebook, and many members have questions about digging, storing, planting and lots of questions about gall, I have shared this video to that group. I have watched and re-watched your videos regarding Dahlias because they are very informative. Thank you for teaching me and allowing me to share this video. Fannie

[@christineboyko4106]

The roll up of the petunias was my favorite!!! So quick and clean! Great job all of you!!

[@zibbyzoo4379]

Oh my GOSH! Those cleaning compilations are SO SATISFYING!!! Keep ‘em coming!

[@32dras]

I applaud your dedication to Dahlias, I just can't, I skipped them this season, there's bunch of Zinnias to choose from, I found out they last longer as cut flowers then Dahlias and it's not even comperable how much less work Zinnias are. And that's a huge patch of Dahlias you have, that's a big job both spring and fall time.

[@barbb.9489]

What’s fun movie today, Laura. You need an outdoor shower access to clean before going into the house. ❤ Samantha was adorable today with Chef Aaron. 😂

[@Bamboo4U2]

Or, when they modify the house, they add a mudroom. 👍

[@klcpca]

TY Paul and Bethany for being on camera and allowing us to watch your amazing work ethic--The title of the channel should be Garden Answer and Paul & Bethany!!! Aaron and Laura are sooooo lucky to have found you both!!

[@marthabradas8873]

well, what a fun video!!Aaron the chef was turkey frying, and Laura digging up Dahlias , watching Laura work hard with all that mud flying! Paul and Bethany doing their magic cleanup....and of course cute little Samantha and the kitties too! Busy day at the Garden Answer Homestead! I sat having breakfast and tea as I watched this video unfold, I loved it all! Thank you so much for sharing this video--it's a big part of my day! 😀🥰

[@AngelaSissySnyder]

It was a fun video! Paul and Bethany are great employees. I love love this channel and have been learning and watching got several years. ❤ Not to be rude, but it’s Laura. Not Lauren.

[@marthabradas8873]

thanks, I guess the caffeine from my tea had not kicked in, lol! @@AngelaSissySnyder

[@Teena-yi9xw]

What a blessing to have friends like Paul and Bethany! Thanks for sharing

[@kathleenfrieden5948]

Paul and Bethany have a method and routine that can't be beat. Garden Answer demonstrates the adage "If you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life." Thank you, one and all, even the fur babies enhance our days. 😊❤️🌻

[@shirleysenkler781]

You all had a very productive day. Hope the turkey dinner was delicious.

[@melindaharry1852]

Deep fried turkey...yum!

[@jeanbishop983]

Did t turkey turn out good ?

[@reginaray3820]

Paul and Bethany are awesome! Y’all are so blessed to have such great help! I know you appreciate them so much!

[@janzatovich6677]

BOY ! So fun to watch how organized the team work is between Paul and Bethany ! They totally knocked those flowers beds into shape !❤ Thx Paul & Bethany for letting us watch your handy work 🎉

[@lynettelewis5688]

My goodness, Paul and Bethany are awesome. Their work ethic is impeccable. I love the ideas they come up with for groundskeeping, making care smarter, not harder. ❤

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

They are hard workers and take such pride in what they do!

[@wandygonzalez8078]

You have an awesome team Laura!!!

[@TeresaDorey]

Wow Laura, I bet you never thought (in a million years) you’d ever employ a gardener, let alone two, at your house. I feel like you’d be considered the elite gentry class back in the old world. On the flip side, I often think that if I went back in time, working as a Gardner of a beautiful estate would be like winning the lottery of jobs back then. I’m so happy for all of you. What a fantastic team!

[@BeowulfIsMinNama]

For safety, please consider using a ladder rig to raise & lower the turkey into the fryer. Alton Brown is a good example.

[@candettecorman5971]

Your Paul and Bethany are terrific on there experience on cleaning up your plants great way of rolling up the annuals. Your way of pulling up your plants with the digging fork was a great idea. You can see if they are healthy to replant for the next season. You have the best ways of maintaining your plants and trees. I have gotten so many information that I didn't even know how to grow and maintain my plants. You are great teacher. Yes a fabulous person that you are giving out your ways of planting and growing. I watch you everyday and don't care if your video is 15 minutes to over an hour I have enjoyed you and your family. You have become part of my family and now several of my family are learning fr I m your videos. Thanks again and love watching you everyday

[@gundula6779]

Oh I wish I could also have Paul and Bettany in my garden 💪❤

[@patricialeet1851]

You work so hard for your beautiful flowers Laura. Thank you so much for sharing. Also you are so lucky to have Paul and Bethany they are really hard workers.

[@cathiebradshaw600]

WOW! If we all could be blessed with a Paul and Bethany. They are worth their weight in pure GOLD!

[@janicesmith8946]

Wow Paul and Bethany are great! You are lucky to have them! Such hard workers!

[@patriciacole8773]

Obviously you’re not just growing dahlias. Your growing dahlia tubers! And espoma must take a lot of the credit!!! Hard work + good products = tremendous success!

[@lynette11]

Even Paul and/or Bethany get creative with camera angles - how sweet. Great job, team! Does GA get work applications or job requests very often from those in the community? Appears to be a dream job!

[@marmaladesunrise]

Just another super video. Your communication skill is so good, Laura. Seeing Paul and Bethany work is so heart warming. The fact that they are brother and sister lifts my heart. My brother was my trusted best friend. There's just nothing like having a good brother. ❤ I have the greatest respect for them. And their work ethics are amazing.

[@sophiagager]

Definitely enjoying these members only preview videos. Great job Paul and Bethany. Thanks Laura and Aaron for all the lovely content 🥰

[@Katsimagination21]

This has to be one of the most satisfying videos you’ve done in a long time ❤ Paul and Bethany do NOT mess around ! And your family is just the sweetest ❤

[@olive-grey-green]

Floret recommends leaving the soil on tubers if you are storing them undivided - that way they don’t shrink. If you decide to rinse, they need to be divided for storing during the winter.

[@starmountaingardens]

Paul and Bethany are rockstars!!

[@yappucinonana]

Laura, I have to tell you, I have been watching you for some time now. You have given me so much great information. We moved from Louisiana to Texas 9 years ago. Since that time we have struggled to get things to grow due to the high heat in the summers. This past one was horrible. But, I think I have found a few things that will tolerate this heat. One of your suggestions was the Supertunia Vista Bubblegum. That plant has been amazing the past 3 years. I have planted the Priscilla with it, and found that the Priscilla needs to be in its own pot. The Bubblegum takes over. And pruning them. OMG! I did that, and yes, it’s hard to chop off all the blooms , but wow!!! My plants just filled up again in no time. I just can’t imagine how tired you must be at the end of each day!!! Thank you for all of these great videos! Oh, also, love the pond area and all of your stone walkways you guys are putting in.

[@rhondareano6349]

Paul and Bethany have it down to a science. They are excellent at what they do. Definately professionals

[@chrisstef8004]

Excellent work ..Bravo to you all...👏👏👏👏👏🌹

[@pamelastokes2964]

Y'all are truly blessed to have such great help ! They get to do what they love, working with the soil, plants, and landscaping and you,Aaron, and your viewers get to enjoy their labor of love! Pam❤

[@mendybradley5682]

Man, the way those supertunia just rolled up to be removed would be another plus to planting them in big drifts!

[@bronwynodonnell8548]

Wow to be young an again or do I just need a Laura, Paul and Bethany 🤣🥲🥰 love sharing you all working in. Beautiful garden. Cheers a 73 year old 🇦🇺 Bronwyn

[@judithlehman9122]

New to your site, a 60 year dahlia grower with bulbs from my grandparents farm from the 1890s. What do you do with all those bulbs. Do you market them. I spent 30 years in Indiana digging up tubers every year, then did myself a favor and moved to Northern California where my dahlias can winter over in the grounds. I had no idea I could do that. Every time I tend my flowers I wish my dad was still alive, because I would convince him to move with me. Some of my bulbs have passed from his mom to him and on to me. It makes it special for me. I cannot conceive of the work you put in and the amount of dahlias you have. Made me want to take a nap. Kudos to you for the energy expended and the love involved.

[@kathleenalbuquerque9908]

Samantha has grown into her grandmother’s Mini-me! Her beautiful face, hair, and mannerisms, the whole package.

[@lindalowry2341]

Paul and Bethany got the annuals cleaned up in a hurry by rolling them. Thankful for them to help. Dinner swounds delicious.

[@ctrygrl3]

I need a Paul and Bethany! I think we're all jealous! lol Oh, if we all just had that much work ethic as you, Aaron, Paul, and Bethany! Love these videos. They're so satisfying to watch.

[@toyajohnson769]

For Aaron. My father and I deep fry 10+ turkeys every year. If your fryer pot came with a lid, keep it on while cooking. We only take it off to check the internal temp or remove the bird. I think your exposing the oil to too much direct cold air with it off. That or you may need to create a wind block if theres and issue with the flame. I hope that helps.

[@joemcdaniel6341]

Since your house is hosting Turkey Day this year, I'm betting this is Aaron's trail run on cooking the turkey for that day. And yes, try to keep the lid on.

[@petalasbury]

It sure looks nice all tidied up, but I'm really going to miss all the beautiful white begonias!!

[@lindak7499]

Paul and Bethany are definitely a garden dream team!!

[@pathughes8221]

In a world gone crazy it is wonderful to watch good folks doing your thing, thanks.

[@teriparrish]

Go Paul and Bethany. Knocking it out.

[@raeperonneau4941]

Yum! One of these days I’m going to get brave enough to do a deep fried turkey. Bravo to Paul and Bethany!!!

[@illianakruithof3409]

Paul and Bethany are amazing, my down time before bed is to watch your channel which I always look forward to watching. You, Aaron and the kids are wonderful. You are an inspiration to us all.

[@EmmyUnwindWorld]

I'm so impressed by how meticulous and satisfying this annual cleanup is.

[@karenagin2363]

Paul and Bethany, you did an amazing job! My youngest brother was the deep-fried turkey king. He's missed terribly, but we have many fond memories. Some of the best are of those delicious Thanksgiving turkeys!

[@tamarawelch1171]

I wanted to recognize all the hard work Paul and Bethany do, great job! Having a hard working team makes all the difference. We appreciate you both. It was so satisfying watching you both doing the fall cleanup. Deep fried turkey is so delicious.🤤

[@amyfrancois9121]

❤ how Paul works smarter than harder rolling up the carpet of annuals!!

[@vbo9872]

So many of us enjoy the garden bed maintenance/clean-out videos. Thank you again for posting them. I enjoy them so much that I even created a KZbin library folder titled as such. 🙂

[@michaeltiffanylewis870]

Very satisfying to watch Paul and Bethany hard at work. Thank you for including them. Hope the turkey turns out.

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Lots of hard and dirty work today! Thanks Paul and Bethany also. Rolling up those mats of flowers was awesome to see.

[@emilydeleon1011]

Watching Paul and Bethany clean out the annuals is so satisfying!!! Love to see their process.

[@ZeeJones-o3m]

Many thanks to Paul and Bethany for showing us their mad clean up skills. I learned a lot especially the rolling up of the petunias!

[@nereidalaporte4872]

Laura you have such a giving heart. I believe God have bless you and your husband for having that caring spirit. Thank you such much I have learned so much by watching your channel.

[@leannemamer8292]

If he’s not already, Paul should wear ear protection when using garden equipment - protecting your hearing is super important! 😀love your videos!!

[@AB-ol5uz]

yes - my father has hearing loss due to not wearing ear protection around indoor equipment in his work...definitely do everything possible to protect hearing (and eyesight) when working on the property with various equipment.

[@francahillseth928]

How was the turkey!

[@janeanfunk9991]

God bless Paul and Bethany and all their hard work ... They do an awesome job !!!
