The one pot project ends up looking like a giant arrangement - a single thought with various heights and textures of pot. It's like a micro version of a terraced landscape. Love it!

[@traciesoliday2746]

Since the two containers on the back porch aren't on drip, maybe you could set an alarm with Alexa for Benjamin to be his "special chore" to water every day. It's such a small contained area that, now that he is 4, it will start teaching him a responsibility in a fun way. You could set a goal for him to earn a prize if he keeps the plants healthy and alive for the summer 🌞

Laura (& Aaron) i have to tell you how much you inspire us. i started watching your videos right at the very end of when you had the other home, and had just bought this property. i had gone through a really traumatic injury (& surgery) and your videos really helped me heal. i've recently uploaded a few short videos of my garden (no where near your level of quality) but only because i know how seeing other peoples' gardens can be inspiring and therapeutic. thank you so much for all the work that goes into your vids and i know i speak for most of us, that every morning with cup of coffee in hand we watch and smile!

By the front entryway where you plan to widen the flowerbeds, instead of cardboard and mulch, maybe a sod cutter and use that grass for the grass pathways in the south garden? I know it’s more work, but would save work seeding the path.

I was thinking it might look nice if the one plant per pot weren't symmetrical on each side. Keep the same plants but vary the plants in which pots are used. Might be a cool experiment to try!

[@laurac56]

I must admit I am a one plant, one pot girl most of the time. I definitely would have done one plant per pot where those three pots are together (portico area). I would like to repeat the plants in the window boxes, but individually.

Laura ... Consider Relocating The Two Concrete Containers @ 30:51 Over To The 'Older Entrance' Of Your Home ... Placement Would Be Where The 'Large Wicker Pots' Are Currently Located. They Would Look Absolutely Beautiful Closer To The Black Ornate Railing That Leads Up To The Wooden Porch, And Compliment The 'New Fountain' Arriving Soon For That Area.

The white butterfly on the heliotrope is not a moth. It is a cabbage white, so named because the caterpillars eat brassica. During the June garden tour of your veggie garden, you can see them all around your cabbage/broccoli plants. It was kinda magical lol. In that video you mentioned the green caterpillars eating the broccoli... those are the cabbage white butterfly caterpillars!

[@ameliapaul7105]

I had really good success this year with putting green lacewing larvae on a Gardenia that I over winter indoors that was struggling with spider mites and mealy bugs. Gardenia tend to be sensitive about what's sprayed on the leaves so this was a last-ditch effort after hand washing each leaf multiple times. They were bug free all summer long outside and I saw the lacewing eggs on several plants so they continued to help throughout the year. I'm not sure if lacewings can thrive in your area but I'm a zone 5 in NY. Love watching all your videos. My garden inspiration!

Me and Aaron are riding the same wavelength with one plant per pot. There is a beauty in arrangement of different mixes, but I love me a single-plant container more.

[@bigboy77dk]

Hi Laura, I heard you say, that you almost considered, not filming this, because it was just alot of finishing off areas - but I just wanted to say, that these last couple of videos, where you planted LOTS of containers and finished areas around the garden, count as some of my favourite videos, that you do! 😁 I find it very inspiring to see, how you plant up containers, and do these arrangements in different areas. The mix of colours and plants is just gorgeous, and I see the effect in my own little projects, as I have completely changed the way I plant my containers, since I started watching your channel! I use more plants, mix textures and colours, and the results are just that much more interesting and beautiful- so thank you for the inspiration! 😁💐 Oh, by the way.... I absolutely love hostas, and so I just love your big hosta bed, near the chicken coup - and I noticed, that there was yet another big, shade-giving tree, right next to that bed, so how about maybe expanding your hostabed even further? 😁 I have built a big collection of different hostas in containers on my shady terrace, and they just perform beautifully every year. I love the variety of leaf sizes and colours, and they just look wonderful. My terrace has a fence around it, and I have lots of windowboxes on that, which i then fill with colourful annuals, like million bells, lobelias, etc., and I will dot in a few colourful containers with the hostas too. I love the effect, it gives. My newest addition to the terrace, is that I planted a pink wisteria, "Pink ice", and trailed it on my fence, too 😂 It produces flowers, that are very long and scented, so I almost cant wait.....

[@laraemitchell9064]

I absolutely love the container plantings in ALL the places! Aaron did a great job picking out plants and those containers will be fun to watch. My favorite thing was where you planted some blue lobelia. I love blue flowers! My question is, will this variety hold up in the heat and sun you get? I ask because in Boise I tried several times to grow lobelia (different variety). I tried different areas and conditions and the just couldn’t stand up to the heat for me. I’m hoping to see them in updates. 💚💚💚🤞

Question for Aaron: Choosing plants to put together (or next to each other) in a pot is definitely a skill - some people have a lot of experience and know what looks good together, others are very visual & can picture the final outcome, others (like me) have to struggle through trial & error with a lot of second guessing.

Good morning Laura, just a thought. I also had horrible problems with spider mites and all the spinosad and bt really didn't change anything. The reason is that those products will also kill the beneficial predatory insects. This year I ordered a large amount of beneficial insects and applied in the spring and I have not sprayed a thing. You will see me picking off the occasional caterpillar and whitefly. However they are really just a few survivors whose days were numbered. At this point I have so many insects helping me out. I have just concentrated on soil health, and found that nature doesn't really need our help.
