The music made it look like such a relaxing task. I know that’s a very difficult task! 😄

"Side note to the side note" We love you Laura!

WoW those are the luckiest chickens! That garden is spectacular!!!!!!!!!!

Such a nice place to start a family

[@peacenow4456]

I love how the Arbs are blocking our the houses now. My concern at my place too, which I'm tackling slowly. So encouraging to see yours!!

[@leannewilson8288]

Hello GA friends! I had the opportunity to go to Andrew's seed. Laura's Mother and sis were working and they are SO lovely. That Garden Center is AMAZING!!! Everything was displayed so beautifully 😍 💕 If you are in the vicinity it is definitely worth a little detour. I also was able to get 4 bags of land and sea Compost!!! Thanks Laura/Aaron for sharing with us all.

You are so lucky😜 I am on the east coast 😩

[@kiwi_housewife]

That is so cool !!

[@TheKatrineBille]

One of the things I love the most about your videos is that you take the extra time to put in the clips of for example the window boxes from spring! Always amazing content. 🌸🌻🌼

[@samanthab3292]

Sounds like you guys stole our June weather! Out here in the Midwest it's been in the mid-high 90s! Really hot 🔥

[@nathalygortega]

I enjoyed the music choice in this video Aaron! And kitty at the end wraps it up so sweetly!

[@allysonh6410]

Loooooove the chicken coop area. My favorite 😍

[@patternandcraft]

You could do something columnar in that empty spot by the coop- maybe purple pillar rose of Sharon?

[@tracymiller1054]

You are experiencing a New England summer 😊 Although ours has been quite cool so far. I just got around to trimming my boxwoods yesterday - such a fulfilling chore - they look so good trimmed up. I am super behind on my Laura and Jenny videos, but was excited to see this video of you working on some of your original garden spaces. I am super excited to see the progress on the new property but seeing the original gardens is like having coffee with an old friend 🥰 The window box looks amazing - Wicked Witch is my favorite coleus, couldn't find any this year 😥Supertunia Bordeaux - one of my favs too - found lots of those this year thank goodness!

[@sunnygardner1246]

The boxwood trimming area is my fave section of your gardens--close up or at a distance!

[@kham6006]

I live in Florida -love my governor-can’t plant much -the humidity , ,,, ,this is so beautiful

[@bellarosa009]

Laura, your garden is as beautiful as ever! Have you considered creating a garden with native plants? Great for attracting pollinators and of course, beautiful to look at.

[@kaystinebrink1220]

Thanks for speaking about the pest problem you have in your garden. I love your planting programs but it is nice to hear how to handle pest and other problems you have.

[@meganblasco2]

You are such a consistent, motivated, and hard worker🌟Thanks for not only teaching us about plants but also motivating all of us to keep at it! Bless bless bless you!!

[@barbaraword5582]

Your videos are a verdant escape for me from the concerns of life Keep going. God bless you.

[@barbll000]

I’ve planted the annual blue salvia in planters for the first time. Took me a while after watching Laura plant it every year.

[@drew609]

Your editor killed it on this one. You superimposed 3 places at ones. Excellent!

[@conniegarland3311]

Do you ever every stop and look back to see what all you all have done!! I was watching and I thought this place doesn't even look anything like when I first started watching you all. It really is amazing. So glad you are healthy and can do all this wonderful things. You always get me a lift. You are doing more than gardening, you are a support in so many different ways to people. And you probably don't even realize it. Thank you so much Laura and Aaron. God bless your family with many blessings.

[@tammymccaslin4787]

I’ve always been a “one of each plant” kind of gardener but you are helping me see the value of planting multiples. Thanks for all you do for the gardening community. I look forward to your videos each day.

[@MoniqueARuiz]

Same! I’ve now trained myself to at least do groups of threes. Haven’t ventured further than that but maybe one day!

[@aafiyahsheikh5991]

I am really interested in how that must look in a garden, I mean that would also be a beautiful look

[@MyPetZombie84]

Same here, now I see how drifts are awesome (and realize I never grow/buy enough of each plant lol)

[@saraw8503]

I have a much smaller garden (as do most people) and I want ALL the plants so I end up with a drift of one. I can’t seem to narrow down my choices to just 3 or 4 favorites.

[@ClausDalbyEnglish]

That gentle trim of your boxwood makes everything look so sharp and neat!

[@pennydyck8855]

Who wants Laura in triplicate working in their garden?! 🙋🏼‍♀️😂 Great editing, Ken! Beautiful video, so serene. More than anything, I feel encouraged that even when life is such that I can’t have my garden looking exactly the way I want, it’s still beautiful. Thank you, Laura and Aaron. You are making your life by blessing others. 💞

[@alisonhoyte7608]

Gosh your garden has so matured even since last season just beautiful a pleasure to look at well done

[@BrandyHarper]

[@sophiagager]

After so many years of watching you I'm still amazed with the amount of plants you pack into a container. Love it :)

[@hagridcat]

After she put the wicked witch coleus in the planter I thought "well that's all you can fit in there right?" and she just kept going 🤣🤣🤣

[@camillesnyder6604]

Your entire garden is so beautiful, but dang if there isn't something about the chicken coop! It's my absolute favorite.

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Trimming boxwoods is always so satisfying to watch! Also I love the chicken coop flower bed! 😀

[@___Laura]

How is that Avalanche Birch by the chicken coop doing? Any green to be seen in the top branches? I really hope it pulls through, it's so perfect in its spot!

[@kaylafox8018]

Yes, exactly my thought!!!

[@zackarybever9769]

Agreed I would love an update!

[@ash6811]

I had the same thought.

[@n.w.414]

She did show the avalanche birch. It looks great.

[@zackarybever9769]

@@n.w.414 the top of it wasn’t budding leaves. That’s what we are curious about.

[@altheab.8907]

Everything is looking so lush and green, Laura. It’s strange to hear you say “so much rain”. Spring rains are wonderful. They help everything get settled in. Happy you can experience good rains this year. All those large trees you planted and your transplants are getting a good soaking to help them transition and root in. Window box is gorgeous! 🥰

[@teresasuek459]

Six! Six of the Wicked Witch is insane. I had one in a planter last year and it took over the entire planter. It was gorgeous, though. Laura, you are brave! 💗

[@susanlee9532]

Roses are so pretty and the pink climbers with the heart shape in the upper left…WOW❣️❣️❣️

[@lucyprice6237]

You amaze me with every video. Busy mom if two growing kiddos, and you stay fully engaged with all things growing! Thank you for all the info today.

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Nice trim on all the boxwoods! And the chicken coop flower beds look soooooo good!!! So much color! Love it!

[@debbienolan611]

Linda Vater loves topiary!

There are no words to describe how beautiful everything looks! How do you keep deer out??

[@jeanlanz2344]

Your garden is a gorgeous work of art! So skillfully done! Thank you for sharing.

[@GardeningwithPurpose329]

Everything is looking SO gorgeous! I love it all. Cheddar is checking the plant to make sure you didn't forget the Bio tone? Lol so cute. 😻🌷

[@JessSmith884]

I think the chicken co-op garden is my favorite area of your property. It is so charming and has that cottage feel. I just love the Bordeaux supertunias too!

[@angiebrockett7621]

New Gardner in Ohio: I am so afraid to trim my boxwood. I did my 1st trim and they looked horrible. Laura you make it look easy. I absolutely love the look of the kitchen window box.

[@mfabian-gomez6043]

Love the boxwood trimming - makes your garden look so manicured. Gorgeous! 🙏🏻🤗

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

I love how beautiful your “cobbled together” window box looks! It turned out fantastic!

[@wherelovesat699]

Pink, purple and green are the colours to tend to love

[@paulamiller3878]

Wow... that West garden has sure transformed over the past few years. It's absolutely gorgeous.

[@carlie5515]

What a nice side effect from the cool weather you can keep your pansies & violas going! They’re such a ride or die in Zone 8b 💜

[@deborahhardy963]

So Beautiful! I have just planted a boxwood hedge. First time. I was inspired by your hedges

[@susandenniscook9271]

I follow James on IG and you are right…he is mesmerizing. It’s almost hypnotic watching him work at his craft, which is sheer perfection!

[@Bodiy]

Trimming those made a big difference I like the straight line

[@kendallricker9633]

Nothing like sparsely planting those window boxes...ha ha ha. This must be the year for blue purple and yellow...loving it.

[@Daymickey]

Doesn’t watching Laura just make you want to get stuff done?! I’ve been putting off trimming an overgrown dogwood bush - I’m going for it today! I’ll know Laura is working so much harder than me somewhere, so I can certainly do my small tasks 💪🏽😂

[@tumbleweed57]

You make everything look so easy! Love the blues and purples. And Cheddar and Russell too! 🐾🐾

[@odemonet]

You are an artistLaura! Everything you do amazes me! Just a great eye for beauty and the talent to pull it all off! I LOVE all of your videos so much! ❤️

[@heatherw.2751]

Everything is looking so good! I’ve been wondering how the new, giant trees are doing? I’m sure the cooler weather with all the rain is helping tremendously.

I really enjoyed the music during the boxwood trimming 🥰🎶

What a blessing God has given you to be able to trim these boxwood so late in your Spring. They look so amazing. Hugs from N.C..❤️

Good morning ☀️ the flower bed around the chicken coop is very beautiful and has a cottage look that makes it so peaceful and relaxing place .

[@hardwareclothwww.sebossfen6011]

Good morning! The boxwoods look so good with that little trim. Love the environment around the chicken coop. Will you keep the pallet walkway there? I want a pallet walkway…

[@Mhpics50]

I watched your KZbin if you cutting your boxwood hedge. I learned something wonderful. Get a trashcan and rake the debris into the trashcan. That helped me soooo much. It made it sooo easy for cleanup. When I was looking at one of my box woods it is covered in mites and webs. You mentioned that yours had that problem, what do I need to do to get rid of those? Thanks for the Cleanup info that was awesome.

[@MyBackyardScience]

We learned a new term today...wooly boxwoods 🙂. We love that chicken coop area 🙂

[@joeddymoore4690]

Your just darling Laura. I’ve watched you now for years and you maintain your humility and it’s really sweet. I like your side eye comment, funny. Enjoy your unseasonably cool weather. We’ve had the same in East Tennessee, zone 7A. We’re at the foot of the Smoky Mountains. Your pansies are sweet. I just pulled mine, typically they’re leggy by now but the weather allowed for a longer go. I like your new trend towards simplicity. I’m stuck now on a monochrome theme but still have lots of different shades, primarily pink.

[@camicri4263]

Good morning! You make the trimming look so easy, I would be so nervous to do it!🤗💗🤗

[@kebergify]

"Oh, just go by it really quick, it looks pretty good- out of the corner of your eye" Laura, you are just too much! Only you see the damage on your boxwoods as they heal. Mercy, your gardens look amazing, spider mite damage or anything else. Your comment just made me smile & chuckle.

[@staceyallard2692]

😊♥️ can’t wait to see the Bordeaux fill in! Those zephirine roses are doin their thang!!! Beautiful.

[@lisac8082]

I remember when you used to lay a cloth down to catch the trimmings! You are way beyond being able to use that method now!😂 You give so much information and joy to your viewers. Thank you for sharing. ❤️🌻🌳🪴🌺😎

[@traciesoliday2746]

The area by the chicken coop has always been my favorite spot in your garden. It still seems odd to see how much has been removed around it. But must be fun to be replacing everything in the backdrop around it 🐓🌲🌳🌻🌷🥰

[@rhondawishart546]

In one of your past videos you where talking about getting your nails clean after a day gardening. Wash some dishes by hand. That's the best way I have found to get all the dirt from under my nails. Enjoy watching from CT.

[@cv7357]

Oh wow, you put your whole lettuce raised bed in the chicken coop! Bet they are loving that! Love all the flowers today!

[@kevinwilson3332]

The plant in window box arrangement look beautiful

Love love your garden wish I had a green thumb like you...love to watch your program 🥰

[@randomharts]

I had pansies pop out of the ground this spring after a whole year of super hot summer weather but a milder winter and then super cold spring (I’m in a zone 4b). I’m so pleased that I didn’t need to repurchase and they look AMAZING🥰 They are also in a very shady area of my garden and protected from our nasty Wyoming winds.

[@JermaineGertse]

I wouldnt be able to imagine the cold. Coldest ambient temperature ever experienced was -12 oC on a roadtrip to the interior of my country. A city called Bloemfontein. Im not use d to cold weather. Lowest in my home city cape town is probably like 7oC in the coldest nights. 4b must be super cold.

[@imahick5723]

I find it amazing how many plants you keep on hand! I love how you mix the plants in the gardens as well as in the window boxes. I realize that I buy plants too small and wait for them to grow while you plant them at a later stage so that they are beautiful from the start. I will start doing that! Thanks Laura

[@tiffanycave5974]

[@LadyCourtney13]

We dropped down into the 70's last week, nighttime in the 50's, so i finished the last of my box hedges, whew, and the rain helps. I'm dealing with spider mites on my American and English boxwood (OLD, OLD PLANTS, 100 years old), will be searching out your videos on that. But the gardens are beautiful!!!

[@Momme2Five]

That trimmer lined them up quick. Very cool!

[@kathymacomber5115]

Every time you do an arrangement I’m so amazed..they look so spectacular

[@nangel270]

I have included a few perennial plants amongst the annuals in my window boxes each year. Planting them in the fall has helped my garden to grow more quickly and cuts down on the cost of annuals.
