Kitten butts sitting on them 😂😂😂😂❤... edit: can you do a video of how you prepare things to overwinter them?

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

Yes, I can show how I pack things up to overwinter once frost hits 🙂

[@kimlundquist3475]

Thank you! 😊

You garden is looking great, love the addition of the adorable kitten. Anecdotally, I know two people who were both very allergic to cats; both wound up unexpectedly with a cat and within about 2 weeks, allergy symptoms had disappeared … in case you’re feeling brave🙃

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

Thank you! I think I will be adopting the grey kitten and working with rescues to find homes for the other two. I'll also be working on getting the shy ones more socialized to humans. Hopefully they can get adopted!

What a fun yard to be a kitten in. So many hiding spots and things to hunt

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

They definitely love to run and tumble all over things! And they're welcome to hunt all the mice and voles they desire. 😊

.I am new to your channel and have questions that maybe you've already addressed. First, I love your garden and enjoyed the tour. Was it always like this or did you create the beds? If new, how long did it take to get the fullness? You use Roundup but do you use other chemicals ?

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

Thank you! We moved into the house in late October 2017, so 2018 was the first year of gardening. The only existing plantings were the evergreen shrubs in the front yard and the smokebush tree. The backyard was all grass with weeds growing in the fence. Every year I've taken over sections of grass with gardens via various methods. I don't use any non-organic chemicals besides roundup, which I reserve for the worst, most invasive weeds. I have used copper fungicide and neem oil for disease/insect issues. Otherwise the weeds get hand-pulled or choked out by the dense plantings. Wait-I have used stump and vine killer by Bonide for the stubborn saplings.

Don't have a problem at this
