Planting Heuchera, Rose Trees & Ice Plants + a BIG Wind Storm! 😵‍💫🌪️🌿 // Garden Answer

[@carolynshepherd4153]

I’m so glad that you didn’t stop filming and showed us what weather you occasionally have to deal with.

[@nancyschwartz5665]

I agree. We get wind but we don't have the desert soil. Watching it fly by sideways was impressive in the worst way!

[@williamwarren9448]

I remember 4/5 years ago Laura got a huge windstorm and it really did a number on what she had JUST planted ! So upsetting ! Glenda

[@NikJaKen]

We have hurricanes here on the SC coast, but no winds that just pop up midday (and almost just as strong as a TS!) and then die away. Crazy that you have to deal with that all the time! Thank you for showing us. You had little warning....at least with hurricanes we have days to prepare.

[@jaleinegreen7411]

WOW, Laura! You are one AMAZING camerawoman!! Talk about reality TV at its finest!! Didn’t expect this morning’s video to be so THRILLING, EXCITING and ACTION- PACKED!! So happy that y’all made out okay 💚💚💚

[@margies5906]

Why is everything big and new called by a candy name?? They are stunning 😍 WOW..blustery day!

[@ruthiewilliams3482]

Aron does the filing and editing. A genius

[@bettysuewyatt6170]

What a scary wind storm. Thankful everyone and everything was ok. Don't worry about the background noise. We don't pay any attention to it. Love all your videos.

[@debdd7]

Girl I was freaking out when that wind blew in. Like an Oklahoma tornado without the twister. Thankful everything survived. Love seeing the beautiful plants in the lovely spaces. Be still my heart!❤

[@shellyroman1321]

That wind storm was crazy! No wonder you worry about your plants and trees! All I could think about was Dorothy, Toto, and the wizard of Oz!!😮

[@tammybailey4330]

I live in Dorothy and Toto land and the wind blows daily.

[@katiedavis5861]

Daily?! Oh gosh! ​@tammybailey4330

[@cherylharless281]

Laura, I don't know about anyone else, but I can rarely hear ANY background noise (unless someone is mowing very close to you). I don't think you need to worry about it. You all correct me if that is not (or is also) your experience. I vote for no boxwoods down that lane. I think it looks clean and fresh!

[@lindaga820]

Cheryl I was thinking the same thing !! There's never any background noise that is bothersome, hardly ever notice it !!

[@terri.schenk]

I agree. No boxwoods.

[@zormier2002]

That pink radiance is beautiful. Can you imagine the creativity it took God to create each and every little flower and bug that grows in your garden? It is amazing to me ❤❤

I just want to commend Laura’s ability to film in the midst of a wind storm and make us feel like we are all there!

[@beverleyannanderson2848]

I loved the footage of the storm! From cape town, the cape if storms!

[@beverleyannanderson2848]

The cape of storms!

[@Otiliastodolist]

I agree, I felt the wind 😂😂

[@glallison1]

But not mind the wind at all!

[@glallison1]

I meant before the big windstorm! Wow!

[@mrsbongiovanni3106]

Those roses look so charming in their pots flanking the path to the Hartley! Overall, I can’t believe how much you’ve gotten done in such a short time and I LOVE how everything looks!❤😊

[@pkelly7753]

I agree! The view in the background, including the house, was absolutely beautiful!

[@peggyriordan9857]

When I saw Aaron and your helper fighting the wind, you running from building to building, it seemed you were experiencing the storm from the Wizard of Oz in Kansas!!! Thank God everything was ok! The flowers and plants looked great too. Thanks!

[@titosrevenger]

His name is Paul.

[@peggyriordan9857]

@@titosrevenger Thanks! My mind just went blank when I was writing the comment.

[@swankyclass8654]

Now that was truly some high winds. Even with days like that, I truly enjoy starting my day with a good cup of Folgers coffee and GA working in the garden, just absolutely keeps me motivated to get in my medium size garden. Thank you GA for always sharing and posting your garden and other gardens around the globe. It has truly helped me to shape my garden into a place where my friends and family enjoy stopping by for a visit to sit outside.Happy Gardening everyone!

🎶 The best part of waking up is Garden Answer on your phone 🎶

[@Lozjb83]

That wind was intense... 😳 glad there were no tree casualties! Well done to paul dragging that huge umbrella through that craziness!! 👏 The heucheras look lovely in that spot. As do the roses 🌹 ✨️ ☺️ x

[@Melanie-h9m]

Wanted to tell you that I received my Garden Answer planting pad! I just love it! Used it for the first time yesterday planting! Wowza that was a nasty wind storm. You have such a beautiful and strong garden! Amazing that you do not sustain damage to your trees and plants! And that you captured that much of the storm! Love watching and learning from all your videos!🌺🌷🌸💕

[@marilynruggeberg]

You have talked about the wind storms before, but seeing it is an experience in itself. Glad your plants stayed standing.

[@MichaelRusso-k9j]

I was concerned about you folks when the wind storm started to come through. Glad there was no awful damage done. I like your roses in the beautiful containers! Have a great afternoon!

[@nancythornton4159]

I start my days watching your latest videos. As an avid gardener I say THANK YOU to all of you who help create this beautiful garden for all of us to enjoy, with so many helpful ideas. I have family members and friends who are ranchers and understand the importance of hard work and getting the job done. Your team and videos are reflective of those work ethics.

[@jcking6785]

I can’t imagine, trying to garden in an area that gets wind like that, whew! What a testament to Laura and Aaron’s perseverance and resilience. ♥️

[@CoutureValancy]

I live in the same area. We live on hope and prayer for all the trees lol I had a neighbors trampoline roll across our backyard last year and thank God it didn’t take out any of my young trees or David Austin roses!

[@kathycallahan6810]

Yes bring the box wood down it doesn't look complete

[@nelliehedrick3147]

So glad you Aaron and Paul didn't get blown away!! Paul looked like he was going to with that umbrella!! Those rose trees look awesome in those beautiful planters.... everything looks great.❤❤❤

[@thedirtygardener]

Seriously. I thought we were going to see some Mary Poppins action. 😂

[@lisahart5253]

Live action footage with Laura 🌬️ you’re a rockstar in that wind with camera! Mother Nature is sure something! Yes Yes Yes to boxwoods down the path!

[@ivysantiago1572]

Auntie Em, Auntie Em….WHOA! 😳 Glad everything calmed down. My cup of coffee, you and your sweet family, gardening are one of my most favorite ways to start my day! And let’s not forget Cheddar, Russell and Douglas 🤗 🌸 🪴 ☕️ 🐈 ☀️ 💨

[@sharontramonto8613]

Did you see Cheddar in this video? I have trouble distinguishing between Cheddar and Russell. I have only been seeing two cats as of late. Concerned animal lover! 🙏🙏

[@roxanneelsey6266]

I've been asking to see Cheddar also. I'm concerned ever since Aaron mentioned he didn't like his spraying on a previous video and may have to be removed.

[@fancypinkg]

Russell is darker color than Cheddar. Today you saw Russell only . In the tour video someone commented that they knew the family and that they killed him.

[@fancypinkg]

Today you only saw Russell hei is darker color. In the tour video someone commented that they knew the family and that they killed him. I don’t know if it’s true or not. And I just posted my comment and it got deleted.

[@kimlindsey5178]

Seeing the wind storm that you had, shows us viewers just how strong the winds are that you talk about.

[@carolynwarren4741]

Thank you Laura for also filming the storm because I thought as perfect as everything always looks that you have perfect weather too and now I know you are like all of us who have to deal with all this weather. Thank you for all your video's I love your channel and look forward to each new day so I get to watch you all!!! Sending Love and Prayers from Oklahoma!!🥰🥰🙏🙏

[@DianeBauer-b5y]

I appreciate you showing your weather. We forget you are in high desert. ❤ glad “almost” everything survived the snap and blow!

[@naharmon]

Well that was terrifying! It is amazing how your garden withstands your weather! So happy everything did well.

[@camillesnyder6604]

About the calming green: The longer I garden, the more I realize that a solid canvas of green structure and texture is what truly makes a garden beautiful. I adore flowers. Adore!! And yet a riot of color is sometimes just that: riotous.

[@tinam9844]

Laura what an amazing job, filming and sharing with us that wind storm....OMG. Glad all is good!

[@northtexasdude]

May sound strange, but there is so much excitement, beauty and awe in watching a garden in rain, winds and storms.

[@myrnaedmisten599]

Wow! That wind storm! How amazing to be along vicariously! Thanks, Laura. ❤❤

[@claracorimao1024]

A BLESSED EVENING EVERYONE!!!!!

[@christinebelliveau7318]

Love the real- time video , esp on dealing with sudden weather! Way to stay chill!

[@MyPetZombie84]

Holy! Now I finally get when you say you get bad wind storms

[@marybarnes6040]

Im so sorry about the frost damage. But the filming was awesome! I believe yall really had a tough one there. But thank you for letting us see it. God protect yall!!❤❤

[@raeperonneau4941]

Wow! That was one wild windstorm. Glad that you’re all safe!

[@terrimcfarland1152]

I love your job, representing flowers bushes and showing us how gorgeous nature is.

[@bonnie3329]

I'm impressed with how Laura knew exactly what needed to be buttoned up during this wind storm and kept filming on the run.

[@elainelandry1990]

Laura, you are the epitome of what you go through to produce such awesome gardens. I just wish I had one-tenth the energy you have. But at 86, I can only admire everything you do. Thank you for all you do.

[@kbell8889]

How dare that rose need water. 😂 Oops. So thankful the trees made it thru the windstorm! That was crazy but so thankful you filmed it for us! In SE MI, we get wind like that but its usually followed by a thunderstorm. I hate the wind too!

[@barbarasidel9012]

Laura don’t ever worry about neighbourhood sounds,hammers, saws, dogs barking whatever when you’re filming that’s real life and it’s normal life. We love and support you and what you’re doing no worries.

[@pfurr281]

Thanks for showing us how it is when you garden not just sunny all the time this was a great video on how the weather comes and goes and sometimes hurts or garden but it's life and this is the most realistic video so far,I learn so much from you Laura.Hugs from NC

[@susanchapmansuzow2929]

Good choice location!

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️

[@saradodd8684]

I enjoyed you letting us enjoy your wind storm so very much, Thank you. You guys are the BEST.

[@heidiharrison4764]

Laura thank you! I needed to watch someone get through adversity to remind me that I can as well. I have a shock therapy treatment today. Unfortunately I am in a low place. But watching you reminded me that I have done before and I can do it again!

[@diannerempel8262]

💞🙏

[@glendalund1790]

Laura, watching you just randomly plant your beauties in the ground has given me more courage to do the same! Yesterday I went to a couple of nurseries and found some shade/sun plants that are supposed to be deer resistant. I’ve placed them where I plan to plant them as soon as the rain subsides here in western Oregon!

[@lorihanby6733]

Watching Paul rescue the umbrella from the wind brought back memories of growing up in Boulder, CO with crazy winds coming crashing down over the mountains. Glad all your trees are ok! I think it would be beautiful if you planted lavender along that walkway to the Hartley instead of boxwoods. 💕😊

[@kmartin2988]

I have been in awe of your talent for years!

[@LindaKrippel]

Wow, that was an exciting video! I had no idea how fierce your wind storms are. I'm so happy for you that you didn't lose trees or plants. Hope the kiddos weren't freaked out.

[@lindaables7492]

I am so thankful you are safe. That was so scary. God bless and keep you and your family safe. Love you all.

[@bethanydusher2275]

Exciting video! Ice plant is a beautiful spiller also.

[@sharoncoon5439]

WOW! That wind is intense.Have a wonderful weekend all.

[@pamelamartyn5460]

Wow, you really got a wind storm. We had a huge wind a few years ago. Trees were coming down by the hundreds , it was crazy.

[@lauriponikiewski9372]

I’m glad that young trees didn’t knock down from wind storm.

[@saundraspringer4131]

A testament to Laura’s personality, a storm is coming and she is concerned for the people down the way who had a fire going. I love watching your videos. Thank you.

[@pamelasprings6723]

You would think they would have known there was wind coming and not allowed burning. This is how these huge fires start in Oregon, besides lightning. I hope their fire was out before the wind hit.

[@ndrake6782]

I think it would look great to continue the boxwood hedge near the Hartley. That walkway is so much a part of that space I think it will tie in nicely. Cheers!

[@sherryhumphries1801]

Oh, Laura, I am so sorry, I lived in West Texas many years, and the wind, sand and late cold fronts were just a given! I am so glad there was no damage to trees and plants, every thing in all the areas is just lovely this spring!

[@zukosmom3780]

Give me a break. It's nature. Nothing you can do anything about it

[@pamelasgardenparty1945]

Wow! That was some wind 😳 definitely keep going with the boxwoods. ❤ looks. Beautiful 😊

[@RaeC]

I love bleeding hearts. It reminds me of my grandfather, he would separate them and show me the hidden treasures. Have you showed that to the kids yet? For people unaware you can look up bleeding heart folklore. The flower opens to show bunny slippers and a Champagne bottle and other things. I love the little story. Enjoy the day.

[@diversegardener392]

"I don't want to crowd it to much" hahaha good one Laura!

[@NewDimension7]

Good Morning Nice sharing flower planting & garden sharing Beautiful place environment.

[@Sunny14136]

Another great one, Laura! Love the heucheras and the roses!

[@PLANT-VA]

Hello, that windstorm was cool/ dangerous happy all the trees and plants survived and no one was hurt. I think where the boxwoods stops is fine but I do think you need something along the pathway area. Something low growth with blooms no more boxwoods.Shame no water to that koko bush 😜luckily it has you! Now all is well .nice seeing you momma Laura take care

[@cathybackus5159]

Oh my lanta! The wind looks horrible, if we had wind like that in Michigan it probably turn into a tornado. I'm so grateful everyone was safe.

[@juliemartell1071]

Wow what a quick approaching storm and Laura continued filming while taking care of everything. Beautiful plants

[@wynorawishum5860]

Wow that was a windstorm. Glad everything and everyone made it through without damage. Love the new plants. I just love seeing you filling in areas and making everything look so beautiful. Have blessed day.

[@lyonhawaii]

Thankyou for this encouraging podcast! I love how you and Aaron overcome through the trials of gardening and help us grow in our knowledge to persist also.If we learn through our set backs then nothing is wasted!!!!!!

[@michaliareeton3247]

Oh my the weather you had really bad there. So glad your rose was OK and you manage to put a stick with it to stop it moving. And your new rose s are all just beautiful can't wait for them in full bloom it will be a beautiful show. Just a inspiring video today for us.

[@alisonjukes-nb6cx]

I’m totally obsessed with your channel, thank you, you are amazing. I love that you post nearly everyday, I get so excited when I see a new one. Your garden is stunning , your advice and teaching is perfect. And your children are so cute. Thank you xx

[@margyonemitsuyonemitsu3959]

[@maureengee364]

Hope the umbrella was ok. Cute Paul.😂😂😂 Glad to hear everything was okay from that wind 💨. Great planting makes me feel like I need some more tree standers. Thanks again for sharing this with us. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@cherylflannery1479]

No more boxwoods around the Hartley...needs to be little bit more relaxed..but that just me... love the tree roses, I think I might get a couple!! Thank you

[@susanvonrauensteinbreuls6058]

Thank you Laura phew glad the trees made it through the wind storm.

[@michellezimmerman7827]

I rather enjoyed watching the storm from the Hartley as it passed through. Thanks for sharing that unusual footage.

[@angelasevier6520]

Laura, I was so worried for you. And then you run into the glass house 😂 I'm happy everything is okay. ❤ Loved the video

[@upnorth21]

Boy, scary windstorm. Love the new ice plant...Looking forward to seeing it in full bloom.

[@EllenGill-z6t]

Laura, I so wish you would do a tutorial on setting up an irrigation system. My new home needs one.

[@rhondawoiwode9983]

I think it would be beautiful and so fragrant to line both sides with lavender.

[@christopherbechen585]

I would love to see more wind storm footage.. you talk about it so much it was cool to see it! Maybe a camera set up looking out from one of your many windows!

[@Oregonyardening]

Omg this Oregon weather has been crazy this spring! I’ve got seedlings in the ground that are getting soooo much rain!

[@katiedc8239]

Gosh, I thought Kansas had crazy weather, but you all get it, too----HUGE wind storm and then getting down to 27 degrees IN MAY?! Wow. I love that ice plant, and moving the heuchera to that other spot is great. It really compliments the bird bath. I vote for having boxwoods come all the way down to where you put the rose trees in the pots. I think that'd be really nice.

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

The wind reminds me what it does here. We had Tornados and lots of high winds , our electricity was out for about 8 hours on this past Sunday. No damage, except for one big limb out of one of our maple trees. The Tornado went around us, thank God. Great video, everything you planted looks beautiful already.❤

[@melindaflick631]

I used to live close to a property that had about 6 different colors of ice plant on their frontage. 15 feet deep and YARDS long. It was glorious when they were all in bloom, I just loved them. That was SOME WIND!

[@lisac.8266]

I got my kneeling pad!!! Yeaaaa! So soft! Thank you. Glad you changed your mind on where you put the heuchera. I was thinking exactly what you said. Plus it gives that baby one a chance to grow 😊

[@CoutureValancy]

I also live in the treasure valley, I love the interesting weather we have, with the exception of the havoc it does to our trees especially! the mad dashes to bring things in or under shelter. It keeps things interesting!

[@Matt_H2O]

Awesome video. The roses in the pots look great. I think you are right about extending the boxwoods down the path. The dusty rose colour of the Koko Loco looks beautiful. Glad you found the water dripper issue. Looking forward to seeing you in the next one 💖💖

[@ja-uh9gz]

Wow...that was quite a windstorm! It almost looked like a precursor of a tornado. I guess you don't get tornadoes out there....but, you always mention windstorms. Pretty intense! I'm glad that nothing got damaged and all is fine. I love the heucheras...the silvery leaves and bright pink blooms. Very striking. The gardens are coming along beautifully. 😊

[@emmarinegush2626]

YES YES YES IT WILL LOOK LOVELY.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Good thing everything is fine! That wind storm is very strong.

[@marynimocks6791]

For great attitude, talent and hard work, Laura gets AAAAAA++++++

[@lyonhawaii]

That is encouraging that the heucheras made it through 27 degrees! Guess maybe I can get some for zone four!

[@cathyorth7457]

Always enjoy your videos! Such beautiful inspiration for my own little garden. I’ve learned so much! Thank you again and again for your expertise and love of gardening. 💕

[@ruthrice3498]

Absolutely Spring perfection. The gardens are looking amazing! 👏🏼

[@rangerjudi9144]

I think I like rose trees in containers better than in the ground. They look more balanced and substantial. Love the placement of the heucheras....perfect!!

[@sandymajors9771]

We get it! real life! the neighborhood can't be quiet for your videos. We don't expect that, LOL! we could barely hear it. Love your videos noise and all.

[@sheiladouglas5258]

Good morning from Kentucky! Wow! Those winds and the drop in temperatures. You and Aaron are amazing to keep everything alive and thriving in such weather. Great video!❤

[@robingrunzweig1880]

wow... wind is so bad and scary.. we get winds like that a few times a year that we call Santa Ana or devil winds.. and yeah, if it's not tied down, it's gone.. but you seem to get them almost on a regular basis... poor Paul and that umbrella.. he wrestled it inside tho... so happy everything survived the winds and hopefully the plants that got bitten by the frost will flush back.. i love the green area by your kitchen walk, too.. i think the heucheras look better on the other side.. the green gives that area interest but also rest for the eye (who taught me that?? haha)... wow, quite an exciting couple of days!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
