Finally Planting Dahlias! 🤪🙌💚// Garden Answer

[@RC-mc6rc]

Suggestion: A calendar with your photos of floral arrangements. Wouldn’t that be stunning! I still use a wall calendar. Who would buy one????

[@sabrinaduk646]

LOOOVE this suggestion!!

[@mbbuckeyes8386]

I would purchase one.

[@snaggybeans]

This, and/or different views of the garden with what's in bloom

[@deannasilva8891]

That's a great idea!

[@ireneturner2944]

I would 👍👍👍👍🖐️🖐️🖐️♥️

[@carolynmangipudi9898]

Haha..I had a giggle regarding Aaron with the drill being tightened and the karma from pulling the sunflower.....funny .... You are a great team. Alot of hardwork, I appreciate you sharing your life daily. Thank you

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Hi Flower Friends! I am growing so many of these same varieties here in Upstate New York where I have a flower farm! I also recently posted a video where I was planting mine-- I believe I have 350 plants this year. I'm excited to watch Laura dive in to cut flowers-- there was not a lot of cut flower content on KZbin when I started documenting my journey last year. My dahlias are about a foot tall now and I'll be pinching half of them so I don't delay ALL my blooms. Always a joy to watch!

[@cw4608]

Hubby is such a good sport, you two seem to do so well together.

[@paulet990]

I was surprised that auger didn't puncture the drip tape! Aaron has it under control!

[@miranda951]

I was worried about that too.Aaron and Laura are true professionals...they make everything look so perfect!

[@soniabebbington]

Lol I was thinking the same thing

[@rcronin1]

I'm only a few minutes in the video but I had to stop to comment and say how much I just adore you and Aaron - how you talk to each other and work together. You are truly an inspiration for others!! 😍🥰

[@lizpoole82]

Is it weird that I am so excited about all the floral arrangements! I mean, even though I didn't plant a thing, I feel so invested. Hahaha! Can't wait to see these beauties! That Bridal Mix is gonna be glorious! Thanks again for another video!

[@alivingston2490]

Oh my goodness. I can't wait to see this area in its full glory. Its going to be gorgeous! Thanks for including the variety pictures at the end!

[@viola-suzieq]

I am so happy that you finally had time to plant your Dahilia's and Gladiola's. I love my Gladiolas and I add to them every year (this is my 3rd year). I have a mini that is red with white on the edges that is so beautiful. I know your not a red person, but you'd love them. My second variety is a light pink with a darker pink on tips and their gorgeous. As my glads bloom, I pick and put them in a vase to enjoy indoors. Two years ago I planted 4 Dahilia's with a lavender tone, lost 2 first season and I'm very happy 2 came back this year. I love them and plan to add more next year, and will need to stock up on snail bait because in Florida they are a constant battle for every plant and tree in my yard. My neighbor passed away first of May, she was a Master Gardener, she loved her plants and had many in big planters. Her family is from the north and no one is caring for her plants and things are dying. I bought her Meyer Lemon tree from her son and a few empty planters. So, yesterday I took a walk across the street to see how things were doing as we've had very little rain and I hate to see plants die. Things were looking very sad and I could not stop myself because I love my flowers and plants I started weeding the pots and gave everything a good watering. I did it for her, her love of flowers and for those poor plants that need life. PS - I can relate to opening a live plant struggling to open it with dry soil, then poof, it's all over you. LOL

[@TheFragrantBunch]

I can't wait to see your dahlia arrangements! I just planted 20 tubers this spring :)

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

This video in particular is one of my favorites!! NO WONDER you have so many of these plants-they are SO VERY BEAUTIFUL-who could resist all those you showed! I especially loved the music in this video, it was PERFECTLY matched to the activity! You both inspire excitement and energy in this 68 years young-ahem-old gal. Thanks for yet another wonderful visit!!

[@myrusticgardens]

You guys are the "Chip and Jo" of the garden community. 🥰 I just love seeing you and Aaron work together! I've never planted Dahlias but as always, you've inspired me to try!

[@suethomas6877]

Love Aaron’s measuring technique for the poles but I absolutely loved the fast footage of the clouds floating by....graceful and peaceful. Love how you two work together. Looks like an army of people on your property at one point?

[@JJ-fm3hr]

my favorite part

[@snaggybeans]

I noticed that too! So peaceful!

[@dawnitalutz1953]

Aaron is so humble.

[@jennyk3632]

I LOVE your videos Laura! You and Aaron are quite a team. Great job on everything you have done at your home. Dahlia's are such a beautiful flower and my Dad has been planting different varieties for years.

[@explaincauseidontgetit3294]

Laura, I mean this with respect and love...you are a freak of nature!! Raz Ma Zaz and Punkin are my top faves

[@annembradford]

Aaron and Laura - I enjoy watching you guys more than anything else on KZbin and I live in a condo with absolutely zero gardening room 😂 I’m so excited for all your new projects. Such a true blessing to be able to join you in this journey.

[@aciditywormhole9898]

Your videos help me out a lot. Especially the variety of perennials. Thank you for making this channel.

[@ritagarcia30]

Laura - once again BRAVO- you are like an artist in front of a blank canvas and you have this teaching ability to make each step understood by our hopeful eyes- as you explain I can vision the beauty of those Dahlias blowing in the breeze- and why does it not surprise me that you want to share your bounty with friends and family-❤️- your awesome Laura

[@DawnRenae22]

This space is going to be absolutely GLORIOUS!

[@truthbetold2611]

Laura you're becoming more of a farmer than a home gardener. Everything is in such huge production. I can't think of anyone that works harder than you with limbs and brain. Thank you for sharing your visions leading to amazing realities.

[@glendapeters8899]

As I was watching Aaron pound those posts in and drill the holes (glad there was help!) I thought "They'll be tired at the end of this day!" And there are other colors of baling twine at least around here. There's green and tan/brown which would blend in with the flower leaves. Some of it is biodegradable. Thanks for your videos and glad to see you all taking a day off each week. We'll survive not having a Sunday video. I watched one of your older ones as I've just come to watch you in the last year.

[@jacquelinestuart2341]

Wow, I am tired just watching you plant 🌱 I need to take a nap 🤗❤️💐

[@LB-vl3qn]

So many lovely varieties. Can't wait to see what this new land looks like in a couple months. Poor Aaron; my back cried for you. Glad to see you two had some help with this project. ~ Lisa

[@13dulcie]

Aaron's comment about the sunflower made me laugh! I love dahlias. All of the ones you have are beautiful. That was a lot of work putting those in. I admire your commitment. 🌻🌺🌷💗

[@gardenbugdesigns]

Your heart and eyes are going to be SO happy once those bloom!!! So gorgeous!!!

[@phoenixstone8797]

i love that you show the little errors you guys do too like getting the wrong size drill.. shows the real work you guys put into it, even though all this could be easily edited out to appear super easy and perfect!

[@pamketron]

Those will be simply stunning! Y’all are moving right along on the new property. I can’t believe how much you have gotten done in really a short amount of time. Going to be a beautiful space when everything is in bloom. Great job y’all. 💜☀️

[@keradee8742]

I can only imagine how stunning this will look when in bloom! Thanks for taking us along with another great video 😊

[@gurleensohi6121]

I enjoy all your videos. You guys are such a great inspiration!! I don’t have large space, but I plant at my in-laws family cottage, which needed lots of maintenance in terms of planting and gardening. My partner’s Ama, who used to live there. She is so thrilled with the results. I started lots of plants from seed like you did, everyone is in the family is so amazed how great the plants turned out. Thank you guys so making such awesome videos!!

[@christinas3368]

You will reap what you sow Laura and what Gorgeous Dahlias they will be. And its ok if you waited a hot minute to plant your Dahlias. Remember there are no mistakes in gardening only experiments. And Aaron did a fantastic job helping you, the stakes & holes looks so professional! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@MsSherrydarling]

I love dahlias and gladioli!! Such beautiful show stoppers! Butchart Gardens puts on the most glorious dahlia display! Some blooms are as big as your head : )) It will be hard to wait for the show yours will be but well worth the wait! Yay!

[@donnasecour8511]

You and Aaron are just a hoot to watch, I love your playfulness with each other! I cannot wait to see all these upcoming blooms!

[@teresagoins6820]

You just keep blowing me away with your plans and energy!

[@sueallen7750]

So happy to run across this video. One of my favorite flowers. These are going to be so very beautiful.

[@courtneykappel370]

This is such an impressive project! Glad you and Aaron got a little extra help. Thanks for sharing.

[@micaelaharris859]

I like that you work together and Aaron's measuring system. I started playing catch up on your video's at home on my TV, so that me and my husband can watch. Aaron helping you has gotten my husband involved in my projects and offered to HELP!! Thank you Laura for teaching, inspiring and motivating my hubby.

[@shathaningada8500]

Thank you so much for these videos. I am learning a lot. And I love your team effort with your husband. God bless you

[@kathy8832]

You and Aaron are warriors, all that work!! Can't wait to see this area in bloom. I love your arrangements that you do. The different flowers, branches and unusual items you add to each arrangement.

[@paulag.panzermd8239]

What a tremendous amount of work - what great abundance you will have. Last year I learned to lengthen Dahlia vase life by first placing them in hot water (160 degrees) for an hour, then the vase. Really helped!

[@judithjohnson2111]

I watched 1 of your older video's from about 2 & 1/2 years ago. (2018).Was Q & A. & you mentioned it was your dream to have a huge cutting garden. And Wow here you are Laura. Aaron was holding infant Benjamin & its the sweetest video.💞

[@henryg683]

That’s going to be quite the flower field should be a great show looking forward to it!!!

[@be_you2023]

I watched your first wedding cut floral arrangement the other day. You are a natural at floral arrangements.

[@dianajean4837]

That's the first video I watched and haven't missed any since!

[@lindalisella9825]

Just yesterday I viewed the first lesson in Erin's (Floret) summer mini series. It was about Dahlias. The message about pinching was reinforced by both of you. Love it. There are so many mixed messages on the internet about gardening, that it is reassuring to hear the same message from gardeners I trust.

[@elmariedstra5631]

Wow that garden will be gloriously beautiful!! I can't wait to see the progress!! You guys are amazing and work.so well together!! 💗💗

[@willowingchintz]

Can't wait to see all the beautiful colour in that area. You guys are the best.

[@terricooper7646]

I cannot wait to see these grow and bloom! Also looking forward to the pinching video. I am always afraid to pinch! Everything looks good to go. Can’t wait for Cafe Au Lait!

[@mariyoreo]

Thumbs up for the pics of each variety at the end

[@HighConCannibal]

Today i lost my job as a floral arranger, (owner, and dear friend couldnt handle it anymore :( ) but because of your videos, i didnt lose all hope. I started making a cut flower bed because of you! Now i can still do what i loved about my job. Now i can even decide for myself 100%, since i will have no customers to deal with xD AND, my dahlias are growing SO fast, even a peony tuber i planted is coming up! I wish i just had half as many Dahlias as you though xD

[@annad1921]

At the end of the growing season, are you going to be pulling up all of the tubers? if replanting, how many seasons can get out of them? Really enjoyed the video and the photos at the end! Thank you for taking the time to do that for us. 😘

[@LS-el7sf]

- I was also wondering how many seasons you get out of your tubers???

[@juliehinkel608]

Please do a digging and storage video at the end of the season, as I’m just learning and lose about half of my tubers each winter during storage.

[@breeking3333]

She did say she’ll lift and store them at the end of the season. It’s too cold there for dahlias to survive...typically. Never know weather these days.

[@klcpca]

Aaron is just so awesome to help you.... my Hubby has ZERO interest in anything I do outside :( I love dahlias and I adore glads... can't wait to see all of them in bloom.

[@pamelaburdick8366]

I love watching you both work together

[@suzannesmith9091]

Oh the memories! My father grew dahlias for shows...... 2,000 hills each year!😊

[@joycetaggart3123]

You really have a lot of land to fill. Do you have all of it done in your mind, or a little at a time. Hope your weather stays even so you can keep going. As always I enjoy you and you have really helped me with my garden this year. I totally changed the way I plant flowers in pots. They look so much fuller and I love that. I have had a couple things that didn't like it, so won't put them in together next year. Yes you can change an old dog!! Ha ha! Joyce

[@gailbemrose248]

Oh Laura, so beautiful. I love Dahlias. Grew heaps when I lived in Tasmanian, Australia. I live in coastal NSW, now and have a tropical garden but I must admit I do long for the country garden again.

[@juliedorey5254]

Oh they are going to be so beautiful. Just imagine walking out to a field of color 🥰

[@kyrad6543]

I just imagine what it would be like to live next door. All the benefits of the beauty without any of the work. :-)

[@Lisa-hc3uq]

I can't wait for a follow up video on the progress of this and other projects in the new property.

[@wildblossomdesign5527]

Congratulations Laura! What a big job- so happy for you that the tubers are all in the ground. I super love seeing all of the progress on the new property.

[@alinaroth3372]

Loved this video, thank you for filming this for us! I had dahlias in my wedding flower arrangements and they have become my absolute favorite flowers. Looking forward to seeing them grow! :)

[@loneebazemore1137]

Once the space is complete and in its a fabulous full bloom. Imagine seeing this from their drone shots. It's going to be glorious.

[@nesandhiller5323]

So many gorgeous varieties! Very happy for you that you were able to get them in the ground. Fingers crossed they will bloom profusely for you.

[@tamerarobinson3166]

So I thought it would be really fun to see pictures of each area in your yard throughout the years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019. Even with the ugly privet hedges and the bare spots and see what you have done to it up to today. I love your designs and I love how you love gardening as much as I do.

[@tamerarobinson3166]

Also I was thinking it would be fun to see the same month of every year so like April, May, June, July, August, etc. of all the different years.

[@cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241]

I am so glad you and Aaron are planting a great deal in the new garden area. I love all that you have planted and it is such a big treat watching the progress. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Have a great day!

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Do I see extra workers in this video? Have you hired people to help with planting the new property? I definitely understand that another pair or two of hands would be helpful! I love how much you and Aaron lovingly tease each other, I also enjoy watching the two of you work together to make your property come alive with beauty! I'm looking forward to seeing these dahlias grow and bloom, and I can't wait to see all of the floral arrangements you will create! ~Margie

[@valiumsurbanjungle2041]

That will be so amazing!! Can't wait to see the updates on this project!! 😲 This was the first year I planted Dahlias (and Gladiolus and 300 bulbs in total, all in containers, all coloured coordinated, too!!) and now I know exactly what I did wrong and I will be saving all of the info for next year!! Some did come up though, a few are already in bloom and they are just stunning!! Thankfully I live in a zone where I don't need to dig them up in winter, I have no idea how you'll be doing that!! Have a wonderful day!! 😊

[@judygray7718]

Wishing you great success from your labor. It will be very satisfying. Thanks for sharing 🌲🌿

[@MomDroogs]

Oh wow! What a glorious display your dahlias will be.... I can't wait to see when full in bloom!

[@lincasteel-butler531]

What an awesome, large task. I hope that all of your Dahlias/Glads come up. It will be spectacular.

[@TheHollowBodiesBand]

Dahlias are the national flower of Mexico. Last year I had some grown from seed and then transplanted the tubers to the ground in winter and totally forgot about them, until they started sprouting a couple weeks ago!

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

They will all be beautiful such a assortment of color! Cant wait to see them grow! You are such a kind and thoughtful person to share for family and friends! Aaron is to funny!

[@kimberlyjohnson6357]

Team work makes the dream work..I really love the way you and Aaron work so well together😊

[@carolbeatty2468]

How fun coffee with Laura, Aaron and lots of flowers. They all look so pretty I hope you do get a good crop as I love seeing your flower arranging. Things are slowly coming together out on the new property and it is so fun to watch, thanks for sharing with us!

[@lisadonnelly3264]

Wow...those varieties are gorgeous ...cant wait to see all that colour 🌺🌼💐

[@heatherberry7498]

Haha the reel spinning with the spinning effect at 7:45!! Ken you are so funny! 😂😂😂

[@cathybranly1839]

Okay, I had to laugh when you said you got dirt on your face while planting 275 dahlias. I practically look like I've been mud wrestling when I plant anything in our heavy Virginia clay, especially when it's muggy! Lots of activities in the background-even the cat! The flower varieties are breathtaking; starting my list for next year!

[@pragueinbloom1110]

Wow, I admire how all your project are so ambitious... not only plants and containters, but your attitude towards gardening is huge inspiration for me!

[@cbvickers4044]

So glad you’re finally getting to plant your dahlias! I’m also glad to see you and Aaron had some help during this project. Please post videos of your flower arranging. They are spectacular!

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Ha ha Sunflower Karma, I LOVE IT. My hubby and I were just doing a 'joint project' of tree cutting yesterday and I thought of the pair of you. I also Love the idea that the Sunflower spirit was like, "Oh take me out of the soil, will ya? How's about a loose chuck on that drill" haha. We all like different things, that's for sure. My garden is probably just as much weed as intentional flowers , mainly due to my own inability to keep up with it all myself, but sometimes I think, "You know what, That wild dock looks lovely in that flower border, thanks Flower Spirits for planting it there...or Birds more like. I am excited to watch you develop this piece of land.

[@ASH-kj9xt]

What a huge job this was! I can’t believe y’all were able to get it done in a day. Wow! I can’t wait to see how these grow. My grandma used to grow the most beautiful dahlias, but I can’t grow them where we live, so I’m really excited to see these! I think the planting time is going to work out perfectly because of the color palette. We are all going to be longing for fall by the time these come out, and the flower colors will be perfect for fall arrangements! Thanks so much for sharing, and I hope y’all have recovered from sore backs, hands, and knees after doing all of this! 🙌🙌💚🌸

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

Yay!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 I planted a little over 100, and I’m super excited about them this year. I think yours will be just fine, the tubers looked super healthy. Our weather here in Portland (OR) has been so weird, so they’re not coming along as quickly as I wanted them too, but they grew quiet a bit this weekend. I can’t wait to see your dahlias! It’s going to be such a magical view in this new space, I can’t wait to see it full of gorgeous blooms. 🥰🥰🥰

[@sherrypitt9889]

You two make me so happy! You are the best!

[@cathyorseske2564]

You and Aaron have done an incredible job with your new land. It is amazing. You should be proud of yourselves. Love watching your videos.

[@jeaniaconn5529]

I'm so excited to see these. I bought my first dahlias this year and they are up. I've not really fussed with them and they look great. So glad you showed us the varieties at the end!

[@joycefinney2735]

Jeania Conn I bought my first ones last year.Planted them in tubs left them over winter with some daffodils.The daffs have finished and the dalliahs are up (but not flowered yet) but the earwigs have had a field day.I live in the UK and we had a mild winter.

[@jeaniaconn5529]

Joyce Finney I may need to take preventative measures with mine. We had a very wet spring. Also, had a mild winter.

[@connielynn7236]

Wow...it’s really starting to look like a legit flower farm over there! I grew some dinner plate dahlias for the first time this year and I am smitten. Can’t wait to see the flower arrangements you come up with this year. I’m sure they will be glorious😊

[@Finnswife3]

There’s nothing more satisfying than bringing in cut flowers from your own garden.

[@elvirakirbs]

I really do love seeing that you have help. I can imagine that helps get everything you want to accomplish finished easier.

[@jessemeyer3628]

Wish i had such a supportive partner like you do. You both make an excellent team! Love your content!!

[@numanguy]

I live in zone 9b. I've been able to plant dahlias in February and March. We don't get much of a winter in south tx. Thank you for showing how you planted them. I enjoyed it :)

[@thebuddinghomemaker]

Can't wait to see the growth on these! This area is looking phenomenal!

[@PK-bh1ww]

Can't wait to see those beauties in full bloom and in a boquet. .Glads too! yes those dang earwigs. grrrr. They are chowing down my vincas. And just when i thought I was over that sunflower.... Aaron mentions it.. :-( lol

[@sharonseal9150]

You will be excited to know that baling twine also comes in BLACK!!! I buy it at the local AG supply store in a huge commercial roll and use it for everything in the garden - it disappears to the eye.

[@janetleeharrison]

Thank you two for planting my dream dahlia garden! I don't have the land to do this myself, so I'll enjoy yours. Can't wait to learn along with you while you share flower arranging with us! This is such a wonderful new avenue to take with your channel. Love the shared humor you guys!

[@teresalindholm3166]

Just love watch you do your thing wow you know much a lot gardening. One I'll love to see all your garden 's stunning you such a go getter to south Africa I love planting so my heart is so into it but can't go forward with what I what to do I plant veggies for long time I try all thing but the dahail 's wow I fell in love with them

[@naegwut]

Why are your time lapses so calming to me?

[@lovegardening4652]

Good idea about taking photos of what you plant and where you place the markers. I wish I would have heard that earlier :) I have stuff growing out back and I have no idea what it is. I had a problem with squirrels and moles and they rearranged everything lol

[@lindamoffitt1743]

Lots of work, but worth it in the end. Can't wait to see the Dahlias in full bloom

[@radhikam2401]

I am crossing my fingers and toes for the cut flower garden. SO much effort. I am hoping for a huge bounty for you. Come on flowers!! You can do this.🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽❤️❤️

[@chrisgomes8697]

Love the pictures of the flowers at the end!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! WOW, that is a lot of dahlias, but from the pictures at the end (thank you for showing them), they will be beautiful! I'm looking forward to your flower arranging. Maybe your Mom can join you, pretty please! Loved when Aaron said he was being cursed for pulling out the sunflower! You guys got s lot done, again, and it was nice seeing Chris (That was Chris wasn't it?) out there tending to the other area and helping Aaron aug the holes. He seems to be a really good and hard worker! If that wasn't Chris, did you guys hire more help? Also, saw someone else out there, too. Thank you for sharing!

[@bethb7740]

I can't wait for more flower arrangements! You are so talented.

[@beverlyhuneycutt4027]

Really amazing! I am looking forward to seeing all these grow and bloom! They are so beautiful! I wish for you a wonderful bountiful crop!

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Wow that was a lot of work is Aaron back ok? Lots of gorgeous flowers 💐 it’s going to be beautiful
