I love it when you and Aaron have conversations on camera like you did today. And I know you’ve had issues with music. We don’t need it. Hearing the sounds of you working and the birds and trains is perfectly fine!

[@lauraadair9276]

I completely agree! When I’m working in my garden I never want to hear anything more than the sounds of nature.

[@AnnaDunlap247Rolltide]

I Missed that they were having issues with the music and thought it was just something they were trying but have really been liking it as well. Not the music was ever bad but I like it without as well

[@lilygirl2719]

i love it so much better without the music!

Well if your having one I’m having one also. I bet I have more weeds than you, not a whole lot to deadhead but I have a whole lot of pruning to be done. Sooooo when everyone is done in your garden please send them my way?🌺💚🙃

Yes!!! So much better without the music. No doubt.

[@judygraham2561]

It’s just amazing how quickly the south garden is developing. It’s so beautiful already! I keep trying to figure out how I can incorporate all the plants, trees and shrubs. Thank you for all you do to teach us. I am a better gardener because of you.

[@NozeieGirl]

Thanx. Good weather here in Ohio.

[@cindygibbons4727]

I agree. It is so helpful to see how plants grow and mature before selecting our own plants.

[@adriennesadlo9569]

I love the garden sounds: the noise of soil going into the pots, the wheels over the gravel, the water filling those pots, etc. Much better than the music.

[@user-tk5mx7os2z]

Reading the comments I must add my two cents and say the music was always well chosen and a beautiful backdrop to your beautifully edited videos....not uneasy task! It takes a lot of time to edit videos and choose the right music. It was always seamless and lovely. I will miss it but appreciate that you can't have it all, all the time :)

[@allysonh6410]

Well said!! I agree

I have to say, you both have inspired me to plant things I was afraid to! I love love hydrangeas❤️❤️. Also I really like how your doing the videos. I like it much better without music & it was nice the way you talked with Aaron. I love the natural sound for the background.

Yay! There’s nothing quite as exciting as new hydrangea introduction. Speaking of, can we get an update on the 2021 introductions you planted last year - Quickfire Fab, Limelight Prime, and Firelight Tidbit?

[@lacelessparasite]

Absolutely love the absence of the music, loved hearing the crunching of gravel, the water from the hoses, the birds, the wind, the noise of those grey clay pots at the end. Very soothing, almost ASMR. Much better than a load of background music. I know it just worked out this way because of the music issues but I am thrilled.

[@lauragreen4899]

Did anybody else get excited when Laura said some of the flame Willow might go to the new property! 😍

[@sylvietherrien5617]

I know! I thought both Aaron and Laura said they weren’t doing anything other than the fence and maybe some grass seeding!!!

I Love hearing the sounds of planting, the thunder, your back and forth with Aaron, so pleasant. I don’t miss the music at all. I did get so excited when you showed where a lilac had been in the big garden by the house, I crossed my fingers some of those lilacs or hydrangeas were going in there.

Love how the South Garden is developing. Hearing you and Aaron chit chat is also sweet. But I do miss the music. The music + Laura planting or slow-mo driving the gator= Magic. A magical fantasy garden is how it feels when I’m watching. You have set the gold standard for well made videos and music is a part of it. But I love you guys and will continue to watch because I can’t wait to see how your estate all comes together. Loyal follower…thank you for all you do💕

I keep looking forward thinking that in a few years it will be the garden that I really want! Thanks for helping educate me about plants, placement, soils and watering systems.
