I have to say this has been one of my favorite videos. I loved the clean up/dead heading part. And the pruning. The running discussion you do of how, what and why is so enlightening. I’m so excited to see you adding ground cover. And the “oh my gosh I forgot the Biotone” was exactly me. Thanks so much.

[@Deerskin__]

That was the coolest thing when you were tossing the little plants towards the holes and some of them went right in. My brain imagined a little cartoon version of the plants being sentient and going "weeee!" Into their new homes 🤣

[@usamom]

Love your beautiful gardens and watching how quickly you get things done. I would love to see a video montage of all the plants you grew from seed, where you planted them in the gardens, and how they look at maturity.

[@sandreawhite7534]

I’m amazed you can find trays 12pk, 9pk, 6pk, of starters because we don’t have those here. When planting a vegetable garden we use to be able to buy multi packs now its each plant. We use Earth Boxes. Some Earth Boxes call for six plants and you if you can buy a six pack of peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, etc., It’s very economical. Now at $4.95 to $5.95 a plant it’s around $30-$36 an Earth Box and I have 45 earth boxes. Thats ot economical at all. I know they’re bigger plants however I’d rather start small and grow my own with a multi pack. Of course I’m talking big box stores like Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Walmart etc. that’s about all we have. We’re at their mercy. I love your videos. Very inspiring.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

What a satisfying episode Laura! Everything is filling in so nicely and you've added some pretty exciting perennials! That vista of you planting in front of the North Pole arbs and looking straight ahead into the vegetable garden and the focal point of the urn in the center was classic! Thanks so much for this video!

[@JessieC425]

I really enjoy the slowed down videos. It’s easier to see in detail what you’re doing, and a more relaxing pace too.

I am literally yelling at the screen “Laura, you forgot the Bio-tone!” Had to laugh at the look on your face when you remembered. I look forward to your videos every morning. They keep me motivated to work in own flower beds. I have adopted many of your techniques especially using augers for planting - my old arthritic knees are thanking you. I really like the variety in the videos from planting new plants, garden tours, helping our at the garden center to antiquing with your mom. Keep those wonderful videos coming!!!!

[@nanabninnab9732]

Laura you give us the strength to just cut away at a plant, so that it has ability to put on new growth. Thanks for the encouragement!

Pruning, thinning and deadheading are all essential. It's better for the plant anyway.

Hi Laura! I’m a new gardener without a clue but…because I have similar plants in my garden I know exactly what to do and when to do it simply by the immense amount of education from your videos. Thank you! Throughout this pandemic I’ve gained so much knowledge and… PLANT THERAPY IS REAL☺️

I love how you added some maintenance footage, a bit of a mini garden update/tour in a planting video! Thanks for such a thoughtful/well rounded video! :)

This was such a relatable video. I think we all have unplanned flats and those random onsies and twosies we couldn’t help but pickup. To spend a day focusing on those unplanned plants is a great idea. And I think we all were asking about the bio-tone in the beginning. Great job Laura!

I love how when Benjamin brings Laura something, she never says "I don't need that, will you please put that back" She just takes it says thank you! I have always done this with my son for this reason... Ive learned that they just want to help- just let them feel like they've done that! It only takes a second to put back what theyve brought you! I do the same in the grocery store! I let my son put random things in the cart, instead of arguing with him over whether we need it or not, I just put it back when he's not looking... when he's a little older I can work on teaching him the things we jeed vs. the things we dont...

Laura, NEVER think we get bored watching you planting, even if I noticed that Espoma now adds Biotone to their “tone” fertilizers and I didn’t notice an increase in cost. It makes it easy to start plants off and keep them going for the season.

For many years, about 10, I wasn’t able to do any gardening due to health issues. This past year, I had knee replacement surgery in September and to say it’s changed my world, is an understatement. This spring, I’ve begun to garden again! I missed it so much. I’ve started veggies and flowers from seed, made new flower beds…etc Everything I begin usually starts with, Laura does it this way and off I go. I’ve gained so much confidence in gardening because of this channel. I even planted potatoes, for the first time! Gardening to me is my mental health prescription. I feel better. I get lost in the process and not in my thoughts. Thank you Laura for brightening my mornings and for your positive attitude. I appreciate your desire to help everyday gardeners!

Every different place in your garden becomes my favorite place. Like when you’re on the west side I’m like the west side is totally my favorite place. But then when you’re in the south garden and the South Garden has so much opportunity totally my favorite. But then the west side of your house with that tall urn and sidewalk also totally my favorite. Then the country girl in me loves the chicken coop and the cottage vibes. And when I’m feeling sophisticated I love the versailles garden and of course the Hartley for when I’m feeling fancy.

Laura - I watch and love all your videos, but this one was extra relatable. I loved the slower sections watching you do all the things that every gardener can relate to - pushing the mulch away from the soon-to-be-dug holes, rotating a plant to get it *just* right, stepping back to look at things from a distance, making decisions on the fly, cleaning up beds.. Also, not only planting/showing PW plants. I get so inspired by your videos and often try to look for the plants you use. A lot of my local nurseries near Seattle carry some PW, but not a lot, and it's so helpful to see you using other brands and varieties. I also loved how you showed that a lot of the time plants from the nursery don't look amazing up close and need a little TLC. Thanks for all the work you do to make your channel great.
