OMG, I snorted so loud at the “I bet I can throw this over the mountains” Uncle Rico reference...”back in ‘82 I used to be able to throw a pigskin a 1/4 mile”. Thanks so much for that!!

[@folee_edge]

Garden Answer is the reason I have totally redone my front and back yards in the last five years...you can't leave it blank when you see what they create with their place!!

Oh what I could do with a tractor. I all by my 62 year old self spread 70 yards of mulch last summer, me, my hand pulled gator, and a supply of vodka and tonics in tow. I have been watching your videos for 5 years now and am inspired to do more, plant more, haul more, it never stops! 😂 Your entire family brings joy to my spirit. Thank you for all of the inspiration!

[@lisastariha1460]

Loved the "Napoleon Dynamite" clip in this video! I've been watching your channel since almost the beginning and have loved seeing the transformation to your garden, home, growing family, Aaron sharing more on camera and the amazing quality of your videos. It's been pure joy! And did I mention I now garden regularly? Something I never did prior to your videos. This year I even started growing plants from seed; something I've never done! Thank you Laura & Aaron for the inspiration & joy you give to all of us!

[@shanlynwebb]

The red flowers look really lovely. That music was groovy also.

[@dlsdyer9071]

Different color schemes can create different "plant rooms" or "vignettes". I learned that from your (Laura's) folks' house's landscape😀.

[@nindyhunt]

I'm loving the red and blue up by the barn. Red is a favorite of mine. Everything is coming along so beautifully. It's exciting to go on this journey with everyone here at garden answer.

I love the red with those pansies, in spite of myself. I have planted no red anywhere, but maybe I'll try. Benjamin's honesty is so sweet. He's content to amuse himself with his kitties and doesn't need to follow mommy around all the time. He's really growing up. Could we perhaps have a peek at Samantha Grace sometime soon, please? They're only newborn for a short time and before long, she'll be all grown up, too. Thanks for sharing your family moments with us. ~ Lisa

[@apiecemaker1163]

Good morning. I think it’s funny how so many warn you of working hard. I have always loved hard work. You were in the zone when doing that mulch. Building that core, LOL. My mom used to tell me, “you’re not a mule, Lorri “ I know it’s from love and I also know we can overdo but I honestly know of no other way than to work hard unless you have a full time staff when you have a homestead. You are a beautiful young woman who has viewers that love you so do please take care of yourself while doing the things you love. 👩‍🌾🌻💛☀️

[@LindaSmith-zq3pk]

Oh Laura, I can see you developing a penchant for red flowers now! They are very eye-catching where you put them and certainly beautiful specimens (you should have seen the miserable-looking ones on sale here). Charming to see Benjamin assert his own independence. And very confident of him to tell you to go back to your work!

[@iJoeM47]

[@toddsubjent7142]

Agree, 100% improvement on the barn facade! Indeed especially seeing the original. As a designer the offsets would continuously bug me every day! Also red is outstanding color incorporated there. Great Door & lighting selections & details too. Your previous vids/ comments on long-term alternatives, renovations plans for your home too peak my interest. This along as always your planting selections, process & wealth of great info from your actual experiences. Wish there was a garden center like your parents near by! Landscaping the new property exciting and thoughts of water feature as pond, etc good elements to consider especially possibly "bridging" over it alongside curved entry drive. Had similar on new residence I designed on a sloping lake front property. Cheers!

[@patsyden6276]

These flowers are so beautiful, I'm so proud of you for going out of your comfort zone. I'm sure the red will pop in front of the white barn..keep it up girl!

[@judymckerrow6720]

The planters are beautiful. I LOVE the color red but I don’t use it in my garden at all, I wonder why. 💚🙃Because I’m old, and been there done that, I could watch you work, create all day. It’s wonderful that you are able to get what you need to create new things. I too love to create newness in my garden but I’m always running out of something and it’s not in the budget at the time I need it. Oh well! I guess that’s why I love watching you so much, you get it done ! 💚🙃As always Benjamin is a little charmer, his innocence is so refreshing, he’s a little doll !💚🙃 I love the look of the mulch, I don’t have to imagine anymore what that area will look like, so clean and tidy.💚🙃 I think Aaron is getting use to being on camera more which is really nice, his little quips sometimes cracks me up. I think I can throw this rock to the mountains, and so many others, I can’t remember them all, but at the time they give me a chuckle or two. Always remember, God has Blessed you with a lovely family, a good marriage, the ability to create and the resources to create.💚🙃 I can’t wait, if I’m still around, to see your babies grow and them learning from you and helping you with your homestead💚🙃 Christ is coming, what a glorious day that will be, I just hope He lets me help you garden when we get there. I’m so looking forward to that, and most importantly His presence ❤️💚🙃

I’m amazed every time I see that huge COMPLETELY WEED FREE field of soil! I guess being bone dry has it’s advantages.

I wasn't sure I was on the right channel- red flowers? Can't be Laura- can it? Sure enough!! I sure like the look of those Ranunculus, they're such a beautiful flower even in red, lol. I'm like you I prefer a cooler softer pallet of colors in my garden. Your containers always looks beautiful no matter what you put in them! I like the way the dark mulch defines the spaces and lines, it's a lot of work to rake mulch. Great job Laura, it would be exciting just to get out there and make progress.

Benjamin is a busy boy, love that he has an area where he can explore and play and be in the sun... the mulch really does define that area.. i prefer the dark over the red mulch, too - just looks more 'natural' to me... another productive day!! hope Aaron didn't hurt his rotator cuff throwing that rock! 🤣 thanks for the video!!

As soon as saw the colours in the gator I was reminded of your parents front entry way and even though I don't particularly like red in the garden either, I love blue/purple and have some almost red flowers close by because I really loved the dramatic impact at your parents. I've always said mulch needs to be at least 12 to 15 inches thick to truly do its job. Once again a very enjoyable video guys xxx

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura, Aaron and Benjamin! Those red ranunculus with the shades of blue/purple pansies is so pretty. They look really good in front of the barn. I have a wood shed that I plant two pots with red geraniums and dark green creeping jenny on either side of the door on plant stands. I love the red against the wood. In fact when I got the shed (a gift from my husband), I pictured it with red geraniums in front, and my daughter surprised me with a gift of them already potted up. The only other red I use is in a small red, white and blue container I've planted every year since 9/11. I use an everblooming red begonia, blue lobelia and white alyssum, or bacopa. It's fun to do. Otherwise I prefer purples, pinks, yellows, whites and California poppies. I like the black mulch, too. Thank you so much for sharing!
