Do You Ever Get Stung By Pollinators? // What is the Dream Stream? // Recap 🌿

[@smurfmonster]

My grandfather always used to say “in life you need a GOOD pair of shoes and a GOOD mattress/bed because if you’re not in one you’re in the other!” He’s not wrong!! 😂

[@allison471]

I love this! TFS 😊 My mom told me my great grandfather use to say, shoes are the most important thing you can wear, so buy the best you can afford. Mind you this was in the late 1800's and they had 6 children to buy shoes for 😮 We always bought the best shoes, mattresses and for the women thr best bras money can buy! 😂😂

[@smurfmonster]

@@allison471 I love the addition of bras to the essentials list, and I 100% agree the level of importance placed on them, nothing worse than being uncomfortable in that dept!! 🤣😂🤣

[@LindaKrippel]

That so so funny! But, oh boy, sooo true!

[@joemcdaniel6341]

Placed spotlights outside of big picture windows. When the lights are on, the bats dart thru catching all the attracted insects. Better than watching TV.

[@featherfreebird8083]

[@annsfrench]

How amazing! 🦇

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

If you have a career working on your feet good shoes are a MUST! Been taking care of my feet and investing in excellent shoes since my 20's. Others I have worked with were more concerned with style/fashion and their feet are now MESSED UP after all these years. Spend the money on good shoes and your feet, knees and back will thank you down the road!

[@ajwiebe9652]

I LOVE my Gorilla Cart! I watched Laura’s old video comparing the carts and chose the 7 cubic foot cart. I’m in a city size lot and use it all the time. It even fits through the garage man door - barely. It really is the perfect size. Also, the grandkids like pulling it around and we hook it up to the small quad we bought for them. It’s definitely a multi use cart!

[@juliabaumgras4304]

To answer the question regarding arm or shoulder injury when using the auger, I have some experience as an older women (pushing 70)... My drill motor has the E clutch system and it will stop if you encounter hard pack, rock and roots. I have clay soil and rely on my augers to "dig" my planting holes. It has been a game changer for me. I used to have to use a backhoe. I have the largest drill motor (60 volt). Totally worth it in my opinion!

[@robinsnyder3881]

I can just hear Aaron, " RIding horses on MY GRASS!?!" 🤣

[@SandraGrimes-rt9we]

Can't imagine riding horses on all that perfect lawn that Aaron has worked so hard on. Horses do so much damage to lawns.

[@RuflessCow]

Lololol

[@mwallace2628]

Standing in the house yelling out the window "Get off my lawn." 😊

[@yorkie75]

Horses are so much work, I don’t know how they’ll find the time unless they employ another worker

[@PhyllisBechtel]

horses pull the grass roots and all up, when they eat it! I was also wondering where are they going to ride these horses. I’m sure the neighborhood will not want all the poo on the roads and gravel is hard on their hooves,and they have plenty of grass but they will destroy it, so I doubt Aaron will be allowing that. Guess we will see, and yes they are so much work. I too don’t think Laura knows what she is asking for unless they plan to hire another couple workers!

[@wynorawishum5860]

Great recap. I love watching these and I am so glad you do them. Can't wait for the stream build either. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@patriotmama]

Had to chuckle. I grew up with "builds character" parents too. So did my hubby. Nothing wrong with that! :)

[@nancyschwartz5665]

In choosing not to move forward with a million dahlias (or whatever else) you are teaching us to learn what we like and what we don't and to be okay with letting things go. I hear your voice saying "If you don't like it, get rid of it!" It has helped me tremendously in deciding what stays and what goes. Gardening is no longer analysis paralysis. Just try it and be willing to move it if it doesn't work.

[@kathleensabourin556]

You can definitely buy seeds on line and have them shipped to Canada. I'm in Ontario, Canada and frequently buy from Johnny's Seeds and Floret! You would only have an issue trying to bring in live plants or tubers!

[@wiccanmom4044]

@@kathleensabourin556 I bought Geraniums seeds from Swallowtail, no issues.

[@deloresporch5348]

Yes, get bat houses! Then when they are present Aaron can by a bat detector. Bats echo locate so at night you turn on the bat detector when the bats are out and every time they send out a “chirp” you can hear it. Benjamin would love it.

[@farmwifeonthecoast]

I am overdue with this baby I’m carrying right now and my magnesium glycinate is saving my sleep right now. Might be something you’d like to try. It doesn’t affect you at all during the day; it just helps so much with restful sleep.

[@lauragreen4899]

Laura....comfortable shoes are just as important to gardening as comfortable tools....just consider them a tool. Gloves, sun shade hats, proper clothes and shoes all can make gardening more comfortable and therfore more productive and enjoyable. So dont ever hesitate to talk about those things too. Love all you do!!!

[@kimvickers1727]

By far my #1 favorite KZbin channel, just love everything y’all do!! Has Aaron looked into those “natural” swimming pools?

[@connienovotny2461]

Magnesium is the best at nighttime for sleep! I am like you my mind doesn't shut off at bedtime. It works wonders! All natural. Your body needs the sleep to recover ❤❤❤ Love your videos!

[@doreer.8960]

Please be careful with Magnesium as there are several different types. If you use the wrong type, your body can be negatively affected.

[@michelebleech8766]

We put up bat houses and they significantly reduced our mosquitoes. We also have lots of frogs and dragonflies too since there is a creek on our property (Critter Creek!)

[@chicksusalehman2526]

Definitely mention both channels. I had no idea, until last week, that there are 2 channels. I was missing out! Also I think you should start a Garden Answers Monthly tour channel. Would make it easier to refer back to a plant and watch its growth from season to season.

[@eroswv]

I am now the proud owner of a Power Planter Auger and the DeWalt Drill that you recommended. I picked up the auger when Power Planter did a demo at Creekside Nursery. I am saving up to buy the 9 Inch Laura Auger now. Stress the need for a drill that has the “E-Clutch.” With that type of drill there is no issue with it whipping around. My first auger was an electric one with no clutch. Just about broke my wrist several times. After watching you use yours, I upgraded to the DeWalt Drill and Power Planter Auger. Game Changer. The best money I have spent on garden equipment.

[@rthomsen135]

Hey guys, how's it going? You mentioned your sleep habits & wanted to mention that when I was suffering with insomnia, we eventually discovered garlic was keeping me awake. We ❤❤❤ cooking with garlic (we used to have garlic cookouts at my in-laws) & I'm grateful my husband (who is our cook) loves me more❤. It was a terrible adjustment, food wise but I sleep so much better now. The nights when I do eat garlic are so unrestful. We still grow a few heads near yard/garden plants that aphids attack. Anyway, we love your channel. Take care!

[@ginnytalbert3696]

Funny about the dragon flies! In my Florida childhood we called them mosquito hawks and they did the job, for sure. Interesting idea about providing housing for bats to help combat the problem. Thanks for all you do to entertain and educate your followers!

[@kimbar11]

Yes, promote this channel! New subscribers need to know about it. It’s so fun to listen to both of you!

[@SisterShirley]

As always, a pleasure watching Laura and Aaron. Life is Good.

[@michellescountrygardens]

It will be interesting to see what your blue gramma grass looks like next season. Blonde Ambition is a selection and what you grew is probably the species.

[@Matt_H2O]

Simply love this show and how the conversation flows. Don't change a thing ❤🌲🌸

[@SisterShirley]

I totally agree. It's just so pleasant and real.

[@majorkitty7542]

Hi Laura. My very first video of yours that I watched was Laura preserving Dahlia heads in silicone and doing a pressed flower project. It got me hooked to your channel straight away. I am always keen to see your creative projects. Doesn't hurt your back so much. LOL. xxx

[@joanieG6]

I'm in 8b and my neighbors have dahlias that they dig every year. I never dig mine, they come back fine. I only divide them every 4-5 years. "If it's not easy and wear it can't come to my yard". I'm 77, have been gardening for years, but I have learned so much from you. I'm doing seeds because of you. Thank you. I look forward to watching you 6 days a week. You and your family are awesome.❤

Hello Laura & Aaron, When our boys were younger they and their dad would go out under the street light and pick up bugs and beetles, they would toss them up into the air and watch the bats swoop in to grab them! They had so much fun! It was a more rural area with some fields and barns along with many houses we were in a row of trailers..thus an actual street light. Do occasionally see a bat at our street light here in town, but not like down in the valley... the good 'ol days! Thanks for all you have taught us! , anxiously awaiting the dream stream!!!! Feel like the old Mervyn's commercial "Open, Open!" "Start, Start or Happen, Happen!".....Dream,Stream! Although enjoying all the new lawn, fountain etc... in the mean time. Best wishes to the whole Clan! Pixie😊

[@PhyllisBechtel]

Phyllis from Southern Illinois zone 6b and here we love our bats! I have 3 bat houses placed on our 20 acre pasture/yard. 2 houses 44:09 are out on the woods line and 1 in our yard hung on a oak tree. They do amazing controlling the mosquitoes, we also have a 2 acre pond and the bats keep up with the mosquitoes population!

[@doreen7554]

In regards to mosquitos, if you have a smaller city lot a trick I’ve learned is to use a hose end sprayer (like a miracle grow) that has a reservoir normally used for fertilizing and squeeze a bunch of dish soap in it, and spray your yard, it drastically reduces the mosquito population and in my experience doesn’t bother the plants. I also do this if I see aphids or spider mites on my plants

[@SisterShirley]

Would you clarify just how much is a bunch of dish soap? The resivoir of that sprayer is not that big. 2 oz, 4 oz, etc....?

[@donnabraden3126]

Maybe they haven’t done this because they don’t want the hard water covering the leaves?

[@doreer.8960]

Doesn't this also kill the pollinators since the dish soap smothers or removes their protective coating?

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@doreer.8960They probably wouldn’t have many pollinators in the grass, since they don’t have clover or dandelions, etc.

My son is a mechanic and has experience working on Bobcats. He suggests if you have the problem again put the key in the run position and operate the auxiliary hydraulics to relieve the pressure. Going up and down with boom while the key is in run position can also relieve some of the pressure. If all else fails, push on the quick connect couplers to relieve pressure on the attachment side.

[@julipolito7761]

FYI, I, too , have a little problem with mosquitos in a small area of my garden. I read they don’t like coffee. I have gardenias in that area. I sprinkled coffee grounds around and noticed a huge difference. I hope it works for you Oh and it smells so good over there, now. 😄😄

[@DonnaMueller-zx3vm]

Can’t wait to see the dream stream! We have a pond and waterfall and can’t wait to see how they are joined. On the bats, we’re in the Omaha area and plant for all wildlife. We live in a suburb yet we see crazy wildlife…. Including bats that come every year to our bat houses (south side). They do leave in the winter. They are fun to watch at dusk! Good luck!

[@janwilliams4874]

I also have never been stung by a bee (but yes a wasp when I came too close to their nest unbeknownest to me) and I plant tons and have several pollinator gardens. I am in and around them all the time when in my gardens I order PW's plants directly from them and love doing so on Garden Monday. They are now my "go to" for plants and love their quality and selection. I also buy all my seeds from Botannical Interest(s)...plural. Love their packet graphics...LOL.

[@jennifercline7843]

I have horses here in Central Oregon. If it were me I would plan on putting in an arena. With the kids you would use it all the time. A covered arena is fabulous but expensive. An outdoor is great too. Before confirming where you located the barn look into space for an arena. You won't regret it.

[@joannam369]

Been watching you for several years now & love ALL your videos! Regarding the question about mentioning this channel - please do! It would be so helpful if it was in the description, or community page, or you could bring it up in a video once or twice. I don’t recall how long it took me to find this channel but I turned both my sisters and parents onto GA and had to tell one sister about your second channel because she didn’t know it was here.

[@saraw8503]

I understand your decision to eliminate or reduce things like dahlias and bulbs. I am 71 now and next year some things are going to go…like the grapevine. It is a beast and is consuming my yard. The fish pond will also go. Time to simplify.

A great place to buy greenery is from a Christmas tree farm. They are often trimming their trees right before Christmas to make them beautiful so it is fresh and usually free.

[@LietteL-ll7nu]

We live in the city of Red Deer Alberta and have deer and moose that wander our neighbourhood once in a while and it’s beautiful to see. Most times they come out at dusk and dawn. My husband works at a golf course 3 minutes from our home and he sees a variety of wild life there all the time. Last summer we have a moose walking the area and we had a baby moose walking down the sidewalk in early spring and took a nap on our neighbourhood’s lawn for about an hour. Nature is beautiful.

[@gailshields9135]

Bats are awesome!!!! I use to have a pool in Bucks County PA. I lived on an acre and the bats loved it. I had a pool in the back yard for many years!!!!

Jumping over a tall fence as a young girl, trying to get to be with the other kid, I landed barefoot on a bees nest that had fallen in the ground. We were at a friend's house from church, and boy did the women scramble for their ice chests ...in the 1950's (ice chests only then). Some women looked in their purses and Thank God! one had a pair of tweezers. They took 12 bee stingers out of my foot that day😢😊😊

[@RachelTsTime]

Vans are my favorite but I only wear them when I’ve styled a fun outfit because I’m poor and afraid to ruin them lol I used to work in a warehouse (for 6 years) and Adidas were my sneaker of choice to support my body. Nike was up there too but I always went back to my adidas. We had to buy new shoes every 3-6months btw so I’ve tried a ton of shoes. Happily home with my kids now ❤

[@barbarasidel9012]

It’s me again! Bats are amazing to have in your garden. They eat thousands of insects a day. Just attach the bat houses high up in some of your big trees. They come out at night.

[@WolfieSilveira]

we also had a dramatic change of temperature last week, like almost 20 degrees c less. but now its getting a bit warmer again. very nice.

If you want natural mosquito pest control bats are great. There are articles about bat houses and placement around your property. Also, dragon flies are also good to invite into your garden.

Hi. As to the question of whether horses can comfortably tread on gravel; it depends on the horse (or breed of horse, generally speaking). Thoroughbreds and many Quarter Horses have poor foot quality. A lot of the gaited breeds have large-ish, very tough hooves. Seems this group is nearly impervious to gravel/rocky terrain. Other horses require boots or shoes to stay comfortable.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Laura, I really enjoyed during the tour when you talked through your top 3 grasses. Question: would you consider doing a top 3 video at the end of your growing season where you share your top 3 grasses, annuals, perennials, shrubs, etc. of the year? Would be interested to see what your favorites are and how they might change from year to year.

[@debbiesander4853]

Bees absolutely love my lavender. They swarm over the flowers each spring. I heavily harvest the flowers when they are ready. I have never been stung. They seem to just move over to the next plant. Someone in my area has beautiful lavender flavored honey.

[@annebartlett2767]

In regards to the question about moving peonies, if you are planting bare root, or moving an established clump and much of the soil falls off, the absolute best time is fall. Peonies make the vast majority of their root growth in fall. Also, the "eyes" (where new growth emerges from the roots), should not be planted more than 1-2" below soil surface, or they may take several years to bloom.

Dahlias are too much work as I am 82 and simplifying my garden is the only way to garden these days. My dahlias that I left in the ground last winter didn’t come back after returning for several years. But easier plants are the norm now. Lots of perennials except for ones that seed themselves. I still “need” to garden a bit every day on nice days.

😂😂 Aaron: “Can you keep bats as pets?” No … not pets. LOL. You buy a bat house (or ten in your case) and install them throughout the property to attract bats. That said, there are very specific parameters required to actually entice bats to move into your bat house, so I would highly recommend that you read up on it and decide where you would like to place them before you order them.

We have a lake place backed by a swamp and almost NO mosquitos due to our bats that live in our one bat house. We also are rural so we have tons of swallows , frogs, and dragonflies. Our bats have been here as a community for over 9 years. We only see them fly at night on the security night camera

[@leighseymour235]

Regarding being stung by pollinators, i grew up with apple trees in our back yard (4), so you can imagine the issue with rotting apples on the ground ... Stepping on a bee unknowingly as a young girl was an often occurance in the summer, but otherwise didn't happen often. Yellow jackets and wasps is a different story. They are much more aggressive, and i didnt realize until recently that they can sting multiple times, whereas honey bees can only sting once. Anyway, can't recall the last time i was stung.

I think she might be worried about the safety with the little ones. Or maybe the liability with friends.

[@nancyweaver1157]

Yes bats are good for mosquito population and they do stick around. The side peak of your barn would be perfect. It so satisfying to sit outside and see them darting around .😊 Also gravel paths are better for your horse's legs and feet then paved or concrete areas . It has more flexibility for their tendons etc. Grass and dirt are even better options. 😊 In our area it is not recommended that their stalls have any concrete in them unless you have high quality thick rubber mats.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Love all the videos “again” this week. Cannot wait for you to get your dream stream too. I am salivating to see how it comes together. Do you all get Purple Martin birds? A lot of people put out the bird feeders to keep the mosquitoes away. I also thought marigolds help with that too. My daughter used to love taking their dead heads and spread them around the plants to create more. We would sometimes get 3-4 rounds(flush?) of them. Love the repurposed bird bath too. I always loved my children helping me. And now love the grands getting in there with me helping with anything.

Hi Laura! 🌸 Dragonflies eat mosquitos! That’s why the pond is clear of them.

Martin's ate good for eating them too. Put up Martin houses 😊

We don’t have martins in the Treasure Valley.

I grew up with thousands of bats they lived in our old farmhouse attic, they sure made a mess in the attic and on occasion one would accidentally get into our bedroom. But never ever were there any problems or worried about rabies .

we put the handle of the drill behind our leg when we are using an auger, that way if it flings forward it hits your leg and stops, your leg might hurt but i’d rather that than pulling my arm out its socket!

Your happy go lucky charm, dosed with wisdom, common sense or 'i just don't know' are more entertaining than any just conversation among friends where each has a tendance of knowing more than the others on the arised question. Certainly your habit of parring each other with his degree of savoir? I had to smile when Laura pronounced the T, in a word, LOL too British? Wonderful happy week, thank you both.

If you get bat houses, just make sure your attic space is sealed up! It’s not fun trying to get them out of your house. 😊

Another great video. Thank you so much for all your information.

Thank you for another week of 44:10 watching your wonderful videos...plus I just ordered Captain Jacks & pain cream!! Figured after using Captain Jacks, I'd need the pain cream! LOL From an old lady in Illinois

When it comes time for Christmas decorating, what about using two trees in the Hartley - one on each end, leave the succulent planter in the middle.

[@dianajennings9286]

It's overkill, and so laura😂 I love this idea!!!!

It NEVER too early to talk about Christmas decorating 🤗🤗🤭
