The fountain repurposed as a planter, my word that has gone crazy beautiful!

[@lyonhawaii]

Agree! One of my favorite!

[@carolhettinger3696]

Right! I though Holy moly look how much it's grown!! Hardly see the container. So pretty.

[@toypianokeys]

It looks incredible. I would consider keeping it there indefinitely 😊

[@rtshaw3621]

Yes yes I noticed that too such a colorful display and the growth as Laura says "MY WORD"!

[@disneylover8056]

i agree too i was hoping to Laura would show it. it’s so big and beautiful. it was a great idea to put it there

[@donnawalker3910]

The girls are having quite the gabfest! Love hearing them in the background.

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Wasn’t that cool sound of the chickens was that because they were eating?

[@debbieselland6591]

Those sounds from my chickens might signal a mouse or snake in the henhouse!!

[@virginiagallegos1379]

It's actually right before they lay an egg. They get very voiceious . It's always fun listening to all the girls form a choir & and joining in.

[@DH-ku6qg]

When you went to check on your chickens it just warmed my heart...talking to them, making sure they were ok and offering them a broccoli treat was precious.

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Just like they were her children!

[@selasmama4499]

I appreciate your “real life” videos where you show unfinished projects, necessary transplanting in the midst of the growing season (and heat) and the ongoing garden challenges. Helpful because we’re all facing these realities!

[@teresaholland4790]

Yes we all face the heat,weather , and busy life’s 😂

[@annehedlund7333]

Love when the chickens are talking when I'm out in the garden. I make up little conversations I imagine they are having. Sounds silly, but fun.

[@paulinemarks6207]

The shaggy mangave would look great in a head vase! 👍

[@terrihart2133]

Exactly what I thought.

[@angiestelzer1064]

It is fun hearing the chickens! That is their “Egg Song”. You probably have some new eggs waiting for you!

[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

Love how you plant kinda by just your eye ! You get so excited when you just fly by the seat of your pants👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Keeping it real!

[@LitlPoot]

Another fun day in the garden with Laura ... and did I hear you, an Oregon girl, say " fixin' to " ???? That just warms this Southern girl's heart ❤ looking forward to seeing the new hedge get planted and the area buttoned up. And I might say the repurposed water fountain in the center of the patio is looking quite spectacular !!!! As always, I am so grateful you (and the whole family) have chosen to take us along on this gardening journey - it's has been a great ride !!!

[@simple_southern_garden]

I was thinking the same thing! 😊

[@laurakay777]

When your chickens were clucking, it reminded me of one of my Grandmother's sayings, "Heavens to Besty!" 😍🐣🐓

[@chrisrfan]

When hubby and I were stationed in St. Thomas, USVI….there were tons of what we called, “Century Plants!” They look very similar to your blooming mangave. At Christmas time, Christmas trees were hard to come by and expensive, so we would cut down the dead or dying bloom stalks and bring them into our homes and decorate them for Christmas. ❤

[@meemawstexasgarden]

Love that you move and transplant your perennials. I have an almond verbena in its third location and is thriving reaching 10-12 feet every year.

[@blueberrymuffinscottage]

Please don't forget to update us on your mom's mangaves! ❤ I LOVE when we get to see your parents' house and garden! 🏡

OMG! I had to pause to look at that mind-blowing display in the center of the patio. Such a glorious collection of beautiful plants. Very satisfying mangave project. Lamium would be beautiful in that space. So happy she showed us the Mangave out in the south garden. The Chicken chorus today was something to hear.

[@wynorawishum5860]

What a fun video. Real life in the garden. Thanks for sharing these and also, thanks for always making me smile. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@Leluhuba]

I love your channel. I watch you move and rearrange things to help better the plants on your property and I learn an awful lot. I'm glad I'm not alone when my 1st choice location doesn't work out. I'm happy to watch you dig up, divide, and conquer. I learn so much. Thank you!

[@michaliareeton3247]

Great video today can't wait to see the new box wood hedge go in. Love all the areas you put. All the plants that you moved.

[@joannbaldwin6375]

Might be worth checking in the coop. Maybe a snake or rodent. Our chickens usually fussed for a reason. Everything is beautiful as always. Watching your video brings so much joy to my day.

Skin cancer survivor here. I’ve had huge sections of my face removed. A plastic surgeon had to graft the right side of my face back together. A 6 inch section was removed from my leg and I had to relearn how to walk. Lymph nodes removed from both legs. Cat scans every six months. I am still under the care of an oncologist and I will be a dermatology patient for the rest of my life. Protect your skin by covering up with 60 spf clothing and wear Tula hats. Wear gloves and use a white umbrella. Please please heed the warning. I’ve been cancer free for a year. My doctors saved my life. The threat is real.

I wish young gardeners would listen about sun and skin cancer. Hope you continue to recover.😊

[@joydavis4087]

@@jandolph7509 thank you so much. I danced a jig after my last cat scan. And still an avid gardener. I have a mobile shade pavilion that I move around and I work on shade projects during the hot summer months. Tula hats and 60 spf long sleeve shirts and gloves. It’s a challenge, but I found a way. 😊

[@barbbeebe5875]

Such a great idea using the pot that the plant came in to measure for height in its transplant pot. I always have problems judging this, but this idea will help so much. I think I just need to keep a notebook while watching your videos, Laura, I am getting so many wonderful ideas.

[@susanmarquette4206]

I just started doing this and it is a game changer

[@user-qu2qs2mz9g]

Just a thought: Every county in the US has a Cooperative Extension Office that offers university-based information to home gardeners, community groups, and businesses. These offices provide fact-based, localized guidance tailored to each area. In a previous recap video, you discussed your approach to using pesticides. What you’re practicing is known as Integrated Pest Management, which is a major focus of the Extension Service.

[@susieqmartin2746]

Sometime in the future, I think Samantha needs a fairy garden. You do such a good job with those. Please consider a Samantha fairy garden.

I was thinking that Benjamin and Grace may need a small cabin spot too, especially with them growing older. I remember being a kid and being miserable because my parents could only afford a one-bedroom apartment. Nobody had privacy, and my older siblings spent most of their time outside of the house as soon as they were able to

[@tamasrobby6872]

Love real, live chickens; they have personalities. I'd give them canned corn - drained as a treat, and the entire barn yard would fly to me when I was broadcasting them including the white doves. It was fun to see them coming and eating their treat when I finished my chores and was ready to leave.

[@nildanatsiz1420]

[@angelarios8305]

Hi Laura, I have the same issue with shade all day then sun in the late afternoon and I have had great success with Ajuga. I did Lamium for a few years in that space and it was a complete pain to keep the weeds out of it but the Ajuga just spread nicely and very tight. No weeds what so ever! The ajuga with the purple leaves and blue blossoms in the spring are just gorgeous!

[@dianesgardeninspiration]

This comment is very helpful. I have ajuga planted in my front yard and it’s doing pretty good. I have a spot in my backyard that is 1/2 shade and 1/2 sun and my daisies are not doing well there - why had I not thought of AJUGA! Brilliant!!! Thank you for the inspiration 💜💜💜

[@pamelacallaway3922]

My ajuga transplanted easily. It is also spreading. I am so glad that I took a chance on growing it. I hope it will spread even more this year.

[@dianesgardeninspiration]

@@pamelacallaway3922 I hear you! And definitely love what it’s doing in my front - I don’t know why I haven’t thought about adding it to my backyard. Thank you again for the idea.

[@CrazyVideoClips101]

You should plant some 'Lemony Lace' Elderberry underneath the Golden Rain Tree. Based on how well they did underneath the locust tree, they would likely thrive in that tough location.

This may seem silly, but I wish Aaron would take a picture of Laura in the garden like @15:14 and make a portrait of her. She's such a pretty woman and what a wonderful gift to her children one day.

[@deborahbrame2384]

That's a great idea but would be hard to choose, when planting the hosts or during a garden tour or 16:56, 17:03, so many and she is not only beautiful on the outside but her inner beauty shines through when (talking with her hands) and explaining a new planting project😊

[@CandiCole-s3c]

Hi Laura, thanks for this fun glimpse into your shift into "Check Things Off This List mode. I love to watch your design style that makes what you do so special. It's like you're arranging outdoor flower arrangements. It's all so beautiful. What about making the mostly all-day shade area a Fairy-garden / Army men area, or just an area for Samantha and Benjamin to plan and plant and water?

It’s amazing how you can move Panicle hydrangeas around and they will do fine. We had a huge limelight that was too close to the house. We moved it one fall and it acted like it didn’t even know, it got moved. We are in Eastern Canada, so after we moved it , we watered and mulched it well and it looks so good in its new spot. We moved it with our tractor 😊

Hope you will save the Mangave stalk & let it dry after you cut it off the plant. We have Yucca stalks we made into hiking sticks many years ago. We smoothed them & coated them with clear sealant. They are lightweight, super sturdy, & lovely. I'm guessing the Mangave stalk would be similar.
