That was me!! I bought the fountain! I live in Northwest Florida in the Panhandle of the State. The fountain actually arrived yesterday and it's already set up an running! I LOVE IT! So do my cats - they think it's a super amazing drinking fountain for them!! Thank you for the tour of the Garden Center. I've actually seen several items in the tours and called the store and purchased them. Your family is awesome to ship to the other side of the country and do it with such cheer and good humor!

[@sandrafuch9400]

Oh congratulations. So good to hear it arrived well.

[@andreabenson2491]

Good for you, enjoy the beautiful ⛲ fountain!

[@nadiamalen]

Oh, congrats! Love how your cats enjoying the fountain! My cat loves drinking from trickling water too, sometime when I'm at a sink she'll pop up and look at me, look at the spout... like, come on human, do your thing.

[@laraemitchell9064]

Thanks for commenting. That is so cool that you got that. It’s beautiful!

[@RC-mc6rc]

I ordered the big blue Herron and the little angel bird feeder! Robin was so friendly and helpful! I can’t wait to get it! I actually think you should intentionally show us more of the unique gift items. You know us GA fans we live to shop all plant related items and some viewers don’t have access to such cool unique items!

Aaron, this is the saying as I’ve heard it: The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

[@altheab.8907]

Writing a book may be something to consider 20 or 30 years from now when your children are grown and all your trees are mature and all the gardens are established and you’re looking for a winter project. Right now enjoy every moment with your children…..there are never enough (or too many) moments. Every moment is precious. The early years are absolutely the best. Those preschool years when you have them all to yourselves and they are discovering things and learning language are so incredibly magical and joyous. Did you ever think before you had children that you could just spend hours watching them and soaking up every movement and expression and feel so much love and pleasure and happiness? Enjoy every second of this time with your little ones for it will pass too quickly, but it will give you the most wonderful memories of your life. When you’re old and tired and can’t physically do what you can now, that’s when to consider writing a book…..if it seems like something you want to do. Stay true to yourself.

[@sherilynkoss4546]

Sage advice!

[@dianeweeks352]

Vivian Howard, chef on Saturday Tv wrote a cookbook and has small twins. It took her over two years and she gave up a lot of time with them to do so. Seemed to me from what she said that it might not have been as worth it as she thought, even tho it was want she always wanted to do in her career. The book sells for 70 bucks, but I don’t know how it is doing.

[@melodykaufer5696]

And the positive memories your children will remember after they grow up! Memories you are able to share for years to come...and grand babies. I know you have little time...but a diary..or lg calendar help keep track of specific things your little ones say or do. Unless you have a photographic memory...you will forget specifics. Lol..just ask your mom! Love your joy of sharing and keeping it real! Especially enjoy episodes with Erin and your mom..garden and laughter are the best! Would love seeing an episode of how to trim grapevines!

[@LitlPoot]

Ditto !!

[@susanhorn3910]

Amen!

[@vjohnson2400]

I’m with you Laura, the price of an item is purely a personal decision - whatever the price is will either be offensive to one person or a bargain to another, so it’s a no win situation.

[@laraemitchell9064]

Yes I think you’re right about leaving prices out. It would just invite discussions and judge mental comments.

[@champitadub]

Agreed, I understand the inquisitive nature most people have but sometimes it’s just too much.

[@Oldebookworm]

I agree. I have antiqued all over the Midwest and east across Kentucky, Tennessee and down through Georgia to Florida. I have also antiqued in WA and CA. (I am from WA and have lived in CA). Prices are fluctuate greatly. Buy what you love and can tolerate in your budget. I have also coveted a chair for years and finally made an offer. The seller took my offer! Other times I have gone back after some thought and the item was gone! That is how it works.

[@patriciagurwitz509]

Before I even watch your video this morning I wanted to let you know that it’s my favorite on KZbin. I used to love to garden but I’m too old for that now. But your videos do bring so much sunshine into my life. Don’t ever underestimate how much inspiration and beauty you give others through this medium. 🌸❣️🌸

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Morning, Laura and Aaron! Thanks for mention. Unfortunately I know the trials and tribulations of gardening with deer very well. In fact a new garden area that I’m working on this year is a bit farther from the house, which means that there will be more deer pressure. The No. 1 requirement for the plants there is deer resistance.

[@kathycamasso6672]

Love your channel and was hoping you'd pop in when I heard Laura mention you!

[@candyt7083]

We live in a rural/suburban area in Western NY. The back of our property has a protected area between our road and a plaza that is behind us. It's a deer haven! We have so many deer. Last week we counted 12 at once. We also feed a lot of birds so the deer see that as free dinner. In winter we have to fence off half of our yard and they still manage to get at things. I was so distressed on a recent walk through to find my 2 yr old Berry Poppins plants chomped on by these "rats with antlers" as my husband terms them. It's a constant battle.

[@johannahettman1773]

Sweden has 8 different garden zones! the difficult thing is that they are reversed in the sense that zone 1 is the mildest one. From what I understand from Google the Swedish zone 1 is equal to US zone 7B

[@GardenKath]

The Gulf Stream has a real moderating affect on Sweden’s temperatures. Most people would be surprised at how mild it can be.

[@maynardgreenhouse]

Yes I was very surprised how varied the temps are in Sweden. It makes sense as the country is more long then wide😆 I have a Swedish friend and in the south it can be quite warm. I used to follow some Swedish blog accts and would be jealous of all the lovely non hardy plants they were displaying outside of their shops.

[@ontarioyamon]

Well this whole discussion about plant hardiness has me now thinking … and researching. 😊 A while back there was some mention about England’s hardiness zone being like 10 and I thought “No way!” because England is much further north (latitude wise) than me in SW Ontario Canada (zone 6a) so it didn’t make sense to me … but sure enough, Great Britain does range from US zones ~8 through 10! Who knew! The surrounding waters create a temperate buffer. The internet says “Most of the United Kingdom is located in USDA zone 9, although climates as chilly as zone 8 or as mild as zone 10 aren’t uncommon. As a general rule, the UK is marked primarily by cool (but not frigid) winters and warm (but not scorching) summers. The UK enjoys a fairly long frost-free season that extends from early spring to late autumn.”

[@maynardgreenhouse]

@@ontarioyamon I was surprised too that they enjoyed warmer winters. There is one small section in the middle of the Uk that is zone 6. It was while watching a gardeners world episode where someone in London was growing tropical plants in his back yard that it finally hit me. I thought he was moving his plants in some kind of greenhouse and thought wow they’re so big. Duh No wonder the Vikings wanted to invade England 😳🙄

[@marypeters394]

After living in an old farm house and renovating room to room for !20 years. We had three baby's during that and by the time we finished we were ready to move on and down sizing. Our kids were grown and moving away. My advice is, do it sooner rather than later, incompass all the work you wish to have done and hire a contractor. Doing it sooner is like planting trees, when it's done you'll wish you hadn't waited.

Bravo, Laura, for your stand on the pricing issue! That's all I have to say.

[@dawnvanderbur2391]

I agree with Laura - don’t get into prices on plants or antiques. It varies so much from one region to another.

[@lexrocks36]

I agree with your answer on “is the price right?” Question if you connect with the piece and you are willing to spend the money you won’t be sad u got something. I found a Santa painted on cloth on top of wood, very unique piece (I felt) and loved it it was about $20 and a few weeks later o found an angel in a similar style at a different place for $5 so maybe one person got more than they should have or one person got less than they should have but I’m happy to have these two complimentary pieces ❤️ I love the antiquing videos because you help inspire me to use items in different ways like bowls for flowers or candle stick styling etc love it all plus love seeing you and your mom interact :)

Hello from a fellow Oregonian! I would love to see a coast antiquing trip with your mom! Astoria especially has some amazing antique shops that are interesting to go through. Another fun thing to add to the trip would be a tour through public Oregon gardens with your mom! It would be so entertaining to see your thoughts and adventures through Sunset Gardens, or The Oregon Gardens....or possibly the Chinese or Japanese Gardens in Portland, if you feel like braving the area.

[@laraemitchell9064]

There are cool antique stores all up and down the coast. Good idea about visiting public gardens. There are lots of them, too. And garden centers. I think people would then also be able to see the vast differences in east and west sides of Oregon. ( I grew up very near where Laura is, but my heart is on the coast)

Our winter is a little colder, and a lot longer than yours, and our summer's are colder(max 30°celcius), wett and shorter. But we can grow the same stuff because you also deal with frost!

I think Aaron inadvertently gave the idea for your book. My favorite garden books are the ones that follow A Year in Our Garden type theme. It would follow well with your KZbin videos. As Aaron said, “here’s what we did today.” The book could be 12 chapters and follow whatever happened that month, be it ordering seeds, foraging for holiday decorations (how to make a wreath), right through the busy garden season. Not tips for every garden, just what happens in your garden in one year. I’d buy it for sure!

A chapter on your favorite perennials with the description you offer and the care of each plant. Pick 10 of your favorites for your first book. The other chapters can be your annuals, then your trees, your favorite fertilizers, and tools. I think that would be great. A person can just open the book and plant.

It’s true that even antique prices vary a lot by location. However, one way I get a feel for what a good deal on a antique or vintage item is when I am out shopping is by watching other people shopping on KZbin. I watch a few channels in France, where antiques (especially furniture, and very old items) are plentiful and often a much lower price than than the same items in the states! But it still helps me know what’s out there and what types of prices I could be looking for. I totally agree with not really saying plant prices, though! And Aaron is so right about old houses. I think any older house has these type of problems, unless they were owned for 100 years by master craftsmen builders! The worst is when NEW homes have those kind of structural problems, then you need Holmes on Holmes!

Our house was built in 1913 and we still had all knob and tube wiring as well. We did end up having to move out while we did all the renovations. While it is painful and just plain inconvenient, the end result is sooo worth it!

I would rather see you on video, it's your personality and enthusiasm that I love.

[@tammyhoushour8070]

I personally like the different kinds of things you do video's on please just keep doing "life" stuff with us as well as gardening. You all are and feel like people we know and care about . It's different than a t.v.. program . God continue to bless all you put your hands to.

[@staceyallard2692]

Nice recap guys! Enjoyed very much. And I would totally watch a home reno show from y’all. The two of you have reached for the stars ✨ and have landed spectacularly 😊♥️

You must watch Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House with Cary Grant. When you started talking about renovation to your house, this is a must to see. When you were talking about things leaning, collecting water, etc. I sat here with my coffee chuckling because all I could think about Cary Grant and Myrna Loy.

[@laraemitchell9064]

Yes! 🤣🤣🤣 one of my favorite movies. Also “the money pit” with Tom Hanks.

Really enjoyed this week's highlights. My favorite video was the shopping trip with your Mom. You are so lucky to have such a great relationship with her. Not everyone has/had that to enjoy. I too look forward to this highlights video each week. It starts off my Sundays with a smile and hope that I will accomplish alot in the coming week. Thank you for that!!

Thank you so much!! I just bought a glazed pot with an unglazed insert. I thought it was so cool for a small indoor plant. It turned out too small for my plant, and now you just told me what kind of planter it actually is. My daughter just told me she's always wanted to try an African Violet, so guess what now!? Your show teaches us so much and just at the right time. 🥰👏

[@laraemitchell9064]

My daughter started propagating her African violets and has had a lot of success using those specialty bottom watering African violet pots.

Completely understand about your house. You'll figure out your home. You will prioritize safety, structural, practicality, aesthetics. Very nice recap. Always learn and am inspired. Such sweet gifts for your mom. It is so comfortable knowing that you don't feel comfortable self-promoting. Thanks💗

Love watching these videos!!!! What Aaron wants to get is a Botanist though, not a Plant Breeder :P Plus Monstera and Philodendron are in the same family, Araceae, but different aspects in their morphology allow botanists to classify and differentiate them. For example for Pepperomias it's the "blooms" and Hoyas have a smililar deal going :D

[@loissaedder2214]

Yep that's what I was thinking. Botanics. And I think it would probably do your, and our, heads in. Anything scientific does that to me. It's interesting for a couple of minutes and then my eyes glaze over 😄

[@HeavenintheGarden]

OMGosh!!! Now all I want is a Supertunia Vista TREE!!!! Can you imagine that crowning glory that lasts the whole season??? Like nine months of Spring! Aaron, will you please get right on that?

[@sunnyidaho3135]

My friend Michele and I had a Garden Answer Day! First, to Andrew’s Seed. I bought the most beautiful Swiss Cheese plant, Rex Begonia, and several succulents. Your mom is just as sweet in person. Then, we took off to the store that you bought your chairs. We called first and they said they would be open. 6 pieces of framed art, decorator jug, faux ferns and one decorator pillow later we were two happy girls. What an absolutely fantastic day!! You two inspire us in so many ways.

Love the insight “potential to ruin someone’s hobby” . I’m a Zone 9b Certified Master Gardener & a University Ag committee lead of a raised bed edibles team of 12. I’m also 4 years into developing my large subdivision lot into a garden oasis. It is my passion! What some don’t realize is I also work 2 jobs 60 hours a week to prepare for retirement (& stay healthy while aging gracefully!) My volunteer work will probably not ever become my money maker because I don’t want it to be a “job”.

[@susanlee8480]

I really love you all and your family. Love to see things grow and all the plants, trees and shrubs❤️💗💗💗💕❣️

[@susanhorn3910]

YES! YES! A CALENDAR!!!!😃🌱

[@lizmerritt2148]

I just love your videos! It is such a nice way to start the day. Laura and Aaron you compliment each other so well. Thank you for all your hard work and letting us come along. Don’t second guess what you want to share, it is all interesting!

[@laraemitchell9064]

I second this comment ☝️

[@dreed144]

I LOVE antiquing videos w your mom. Love the finds and love just seeing the items in the background. Also reminder for my family annual amish thrift shopping around the holidays.

[@madelinemarrero4672]

Yes Laura my Mom passed last year of covid and I get emotional and happy watching you and your mom. I love your relationship

[@mwillis7791]

I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you all the best❤️

[@wynorawishum5860]
