Planting Pots, Herb Starts & Begonias + Studio & Seedling Tour! 🌿🥰 // Garden Answer

[@jeanieh9386]

I don’t know if she would consider it but I think it would be so interesting to have a “coffee session” with your Mom where she talks about how she got interested in gardening and developed her own garden. Plus explains her unlimited energy! She obviously passed that on to you, Laura! 🙂

[@chanticogrl]

This would be amazing!

[@kristinregine4798]

I am interested too.

[@deborahpellerito6117]

Yes!

[@BellaVita1890]

This would be so fun to watch! What a great idea. :)

[@JessicaJoiner1524]

Yes!!!

[@wagnerab1958]

Russell's face popping up is so cute, he wants to be with his Laura. So adorable

[@ZenCoryCat]

He even tracked her down when she drove out to get the soil! So cute!

[@emptynestgardens9057]

And in the end she let him in. 😁 Those cats are amazing and adorable. I'd totally buy Russel and Cheddar merch. 👍🏻

[@Par5in4]

Hilarious Russel🤣

[@shelldub7258]

Love the sitting area in the studio. You need a “Coffee with Mom” series where you guys chat all things plants and gardening. 😊🌱

[@raeperonneau4941]

What a great idea. That would be so fun.

[@potatopotatoeOG]

Omg! Yes! This. I feel like I've been blessed just hearing this idea😂

[@jenniferelizabeth3996]

Yes, please! That would be amazing if they did that!🥰

Awwww, my heart just melted seeing Russell lying on the chair talking to his Laura. Can it get any better than that? So sweet!

Just not a GA video unless Russell is photo bombing somewhere!😺❤

[@shirley4726]

Russell melts my heart every time, what a sweetie! 🤣 He just loves his Laura 💕🥰👍

[@kellywillis1347]

I really like the wall color. It's peaceful and complementing to all the greenery.

[@Bamboo4U2]

I'm sick of all the grays used in interior design. I'm hoping she switches to a green (or any color other than the [overdone] black, white or gray). It's a plant studio, not a morgue, ha ha ha. 😜

[@ritasicari7518]

@@Bamboo4U2 Agreed. I'm so over gray.

[@mariafolch8067]

This is off subject but wanted to tell you how excited I am. After watching you use hellebores for many years I was finally able to get my hands on some!! Our local nursery doesn’t have many plants yet but Lowe’s had several absolutely beautiful specimens!! Oh happy day! Thanks for inspiring us all!

Good morning, Laura and everyone! Laughing out loud at Russell!! I would have a tender heart as well of letting him inside. ☺️

[@nancydixon9814]

Love, love, love the wall color - it fits so well with the room. I also love Russell popping in on the videos, as if to say "hey, we're in this together". Those Begonias are gorgeous, please keep us up to date on how they are growing!

You and Nicole from flower hill farm are the 2 that really inspired me to start a cutflower garden, and I am growing A LOT of what you're growing! (That makes me happy because I knew nothing about good cutflower varieties & had to do a lot of research!

What a pleasant spot you got as your studio. As is,looks just great and whatever enhancement you do, it will be just extra. What a relief seeing these seeding trays turning into greenery little plants. Well done Laura 👏

[@lesleyv2103]

I love Russell's creativity at getting himself into the scene!

[@Daymickey]

Oohhh... 👀 That's her secret to getting everything done! It's not just her energy. There are literally two of her!! 😁 No wonder we can't catch up. 😂 Where can I get myself cloned, please?

[@deetyson1]

Russell is looking in the window like, “did you move my chairs?”😂😂

I have to say, I am always impressed and I love it when there are multiple Lauras! That is so neat, studio is beautiful! And I loveee those primrose too! 😍

[@raeperonneau4941]

The studio is coming together beautifully! Aaron is so cute. He’s getting so much more comfortable on camera and it’s lovely to see.

[@cindyg.3875]

When I saw Russell out with you when you were getting the soil, I was just going to comment that it was so funny how he always finds you, and then ask if he ever gets a ride in the gator. But, then, I had to add that I just about fell off my chair laughing when his face popped up in the window during the seedling tour. I simply love how attached he is to you!

[@janetjeerdsma1069]

Lovin’ the cozy corner you created in the studio. What a great spot to conduct conversations with your Mom, Aaron, or even remotely with other online gardeners.

[@reneeaho9880]

Can't wait to see your beautiful greenhouse in place of the gazebo! I know you're excited to see it happen!

[@gardenfairy9792]

I'm always amazed at how much you can accomplish in a day. I wish you could bottle up some of that energy and send it my way. 🙂 Everything is looking great!

[@bryonyhellis]

The studio is looking great- the color is perfect! Those seedlings are obviously happy there too!

[@stephaniesawyer8076]

I love how you read the Flower-Tone instructions on the bag and then just pour out of the bag without measuring!!!! That is exactly how I garden! One question, what did you fertilize the snapdragon seedlings with? I have some that are about that same size and I guess I should fertilize them too.

[@13dulcie]

Me too!!!🤣

[@Bamboo4U2]

Ha ha ha. If you've watched any of her videos, you know she never measures. Espoma must love her but she does their fertilizers a disservice by using more than even they recommend. For those on a budget, what she does could be confusing (as to how much is needed to be successful and not break the bank gardening).

[@dryb3301]

@@Bamboo4U2 well they can read the instructions on the package, can't they?

[@LULC0759]

If you watch HortTube Jim never measures...he throws it by handfuls on the Perennial beds once a year. That’s it. 🤷‍♀️ I don’t measure either but I’m not wasteful.

[@Bamboo4U2]

[@alomax66]

Laura: carefully reads the directions on how much Flower Tone to use in the pot, says "okie dokie", then promptly commences to dump some out of the bag instead of measuring 😂. Love it !!

Russel has so much personality. Sitting on his chair meowing just so you know he is there 👑

Lol my cat is an old girl so she is pretty sleepy chill most days so I love seeing your furbaby antics. Studio is looking nice. The chairs/rug look like a nice fireside chat area. :)

Hello from Ohio. I got my Rex begonia in 2018 for outside. Was a little late bring it inside, got frostbite. Wintered it over in the house 2019 (it survived) back out side for the summer. Winterened it over again. 2020 outside again. 2021 waiting for May to go back outside. Did bloom once, very small flowers. Love the leaf structure. Enjoy your family very much. Have learned a lot. Thank you for all your hard work.

Love the pop of color on the walls. Think it looks fantastic, to my eye I just see a beautiful dark gray. Definitely brings so life to the blank walls. I know you have mentioned several times that the cats have scratched up the chairs but from our view they look great! Can't wait to see how this new space evolves!

[@theacripps8099]

The begonias are beautiful!!! I love the way you potted them up. Also cannot believe how far the studio has come in a short time. Maybe you don't see it but I see tons of progress. I think you are right that a dark green paint would be beautiful in there.

[@debbauer5634]

I love the gray color on the walls. Once you get pictures up, the dark color will provide a good contrast and it won't look like large areas of just dark color, especially if your pictures have some green in them you were referring to. The begonias are gorgeous. About 6 years ago, I got a teeny tiny rex "Lilliam" which always did just ok. For the first time, last year, I put it outside in dappled shade and it exploded and bloomed like crazy! I think here in upstate NY, we have the not too hot summers and enough humidity that it really made that monster flourish. Time to find some of those varieties you got to join it!

[@lgrillo]

FWIW, I *love* that dark gray on the studio walls!

[@blkbrn1952]

Love watching your videos, especially in late winter when I am so ready to get outdoors but can't yet. Crazy how colors come across. We recently painted a room Morning Fog by S W, a medium gray, and almost everyone who visits tells me how much they love the blue color in my family room.
