And yes, Laura and family need to come here to North Carolina. BTW, Red Tip Photinias used to be big in NC back in the 80s but I don't see them much these days.

I think they started getting a disease that spread and killed many, so less were planted. We had them in Lancaster, SC, but they became diseased.

I am from central NY. and we get snow. When I was in the Marine Corps stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC. for 3 years we got a couple inches of snow and I did laugh. There was a pickup truck with 2 guys in the bed with shovels salting the main drag of the city. This is just what I've been waiting for, too bad the guys didn't mic up. You were talking of married 15 - 20 yrs. Ann and I have been married 36yrs. this Dec. and it just gets better with age. You talked of gardening as you get older, well I'm 55 and didn't get really gardening until 3 yrs. ago, and I am so excited about it all. This year I planted our retirement orchard with 28 fruit trees. Age slows you down but the love of gardening is still there.

[@LaurieEggleston37]

Such a great video! I decided to grow dahlias after seeing your success last year. I planted calendula in-between the plants after I noticed the earwig pressure and ta-da! I actually planted them as a "trap crop" but they brought in hoverflies, ladybugs, and other great beneficials and saved my dahlias this year! I don't use any type of insecticide as the whole point of my garden is the bees. I grew up in the south and know all about that red clay! My grandmothers used cardboard under their vine crops to keep the red at bay. Atlanta Georgia suffered an ice storm in 1973 (I was 13) that shut us down! That was a crazy time! Thank you for sharing your lives and this sit-down chat! 💗

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Planting calendula is a great tip!

[@BloominIvy]

@@GardeningwithCreekside I had a local gardener here in Tennessee who writes gardening blogs etc. tell me that Calendula would not do well in our heat and humidity. I'd like to try that between the dahlias. I do get earwigs some, not a crazy amount, but I also get white flies pretty bad and sometimes slugs but I use a feed and treat for the slugs that works wonders! Thank you ladies for doing this video. Loved it! Been watching Laura and Aaron for over a year and started watching Gardening with Creekside when Laura mentioned you garden in my zone! Woohoo.

[@karenross3457]

The Wisteria is amazing!

[@happierinthesunshine]

I love what you are saying about following other KZbinrs even though they are in different zones and it's ok. I'm in WNC, so a lot of what you plant applies to me- and of course the red clay issues, too. And of course, I love Garden Answer- I watch them every day. Another new favorite is Huw Richards in Wales who is more about permaculture- he is so informative and interesting. I think we can learn so much from other perspectives whether or not you all agree on approaches or placement. Learn from everyone!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Laura, I absolutley love your take charge way about you. You know what you want it's very attractive qualities. You have helped me tremendously in my Garden. Laura really needs to be a spokes person for all areas. Even when she doesn't know she takes time to get the information to us.

I enjoyed this conversation, especially since I have followed both of you for a while. What I don’t understand is why you keep saying Laura is a Southerner at heart because of her hospitality. I am from Wisconsin and have often traveled to the south and I don’t see a difference. People are welcoming, friendly and we like those from the south, we enjoy our visitors and go out of our way to make them feel at home. It’s easy to meet new people and strike up a conversation. Come north more often, we welcome you with open arms.
