Succulent Garden Maintenance in Coronado June 1, 2021

It’s the first visit since installation almost 2 years ago!
All of the plants look great and are growing like the weeds around them!
Mel, Mallory and I spent over five hours weeding, resetting, and sprucing up the topdressing with some new rock.
Our results are amazing and the garden is ready to shine until our next visit in another six months!
In this video, I’ll teach you how we weed around a cactus. I’ll also show you my technique of digging up, hacking off and reseting aggressively growing plants to maintain size until the next visit.
Have a great day in the garden and thanks for following and sharing my videos!

I like how she removed the plastic bag without saying anything and just hush- gestured us. Madam Eubanks is very considerate indeed. LoL.

You know, my husband says I’m now addicted to succulents. During every trip for food, to the doctor or to see friends, I insist on dropping in to my favourite garden centres here.........and I get a different plant every time, or a pot or ornament!! I walk around the front garden early every morning and potter about, weeding and or watering where I can. It’s cooler then, and much more enjoyable. I used to hate weeding in England but now I’m finding it soooooo satisfying!! It’s raining most afternoons here in Spain, so I can’t spray to kill weeds but it’s so easy to pull them out. Yay!

[@sirpatuominen730]

Very nice cleaning up. Great work, everything went so beautiful. 🌺🏵🌻🌼

[@laloortiz3499]

Thank you for saying happy pride, it means alot❤️❤️❤️

[@sedumzz3289]

When Laura can't focus and wants to just get working in the garden you know the final product will be awesome.

[@spikeghost666]

i'll second you on the satisfying nature of pulling weeds by the roots. The best is when you manage to get the entire root in one go.

[@janeschmidt9611]

So gratifying! ☺️

[@beaquintana5025]

I was in Coronado over the weekend and ran into this adorable house you worked on. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to see your work in person. It made my day!

[@aliciaslifeinspain]

You have a lovely aeonium.. Lovely succulents garden.

[@christinalw19]

I remember when you first did this yard. The little border fence, and the GRASS. Love the fountain and wonderful arrangements. Please use pre-emergent when you take out that grass and create another mounded dry creek bed with boulders and succulents. 😍👍🏼👍🏼💚

[@MrBlankscole]

I’m all for lawns, but hate grass. Creeping Thyme lawns are my favourite. Don’t have to cut it, it’s strong enough to handle some foot traffic, and the colour is gorgeous

[@AlexJohnNW]

The curb appeal of this house is drop dead gorgeous!! Great job giving it a nice refresh 🌱

[@abcpqr266]

The boulders in this garden is really artistic and make a real statement. Also I miss Aloe cameronei in this garden, the pop of colors it would have brought in the pot would have been a show stealer😉

[@CaraLudick]

My favourite kind of videos are maintenance videos! So relaxing.

[@marybakalish7683]

That house has a twin here in our city. Oh my the colors are the same and the style. Those succulents looks much better after you’ve cleaned them. You have a magic touch!

[@traviswoods1868]

So happy Malory is sticking with the team

[@judyberger5339]

What a transformation. Kudos!

[@smoothsailingmp]

Didn't know that about fire sticks. We have a huge one in a large pot ( maybe 23 inches across. And those babies are not cheap. So it looks as if we can divide them into more pots.. yeah! We are on just under an acre after all....so thanks for the tip

[@SanIgnacioBCS]

Thank you, Laura, for your exercise of will power in letting us see the 'before' conditions. That is very useful for me.

[@debbiecapaldi2570]

Looks very beautiful and amazing succulents have a blessed day my friend

[@rosariotorrero2991]

nice one the area is small but i love how the plants grow,i also live in small space so i got some idea to that. thanks ms Laura❤️❤️❤️

[@NEOSAP]

once again, beautiful work. :) I have flower beds with lots of grass so needless to say, you've inspired me to clean them out.

[@donabellahardeneravlogs790]

Beautiful

[@altheac4021]

have the owners thought about just having succulents in the front walkway? I would hate to mow a foot-worth of grass. Wonderful maintenance work, the garden is beautiful!! Love the aloe as a specimen in the pot❤️🎍

wow what an improvement

Just ordered my new DFS pride coffee cup in the most heinous neon yellow color ...I cannot WAIT to drink out of it every morning!!!!! Happy Pride Month Laura and team!!!!

[@PTflowers702]

Hi Laura! A little behind on the videos, but I wanted to share something that I have found pretty successful with weeds and stray grass, 75% Vinegar. (you can get it on Amazon) You need to use it in a spray bottle, and a very small "stream" hit of the vinegar to the root of the weed or stray grass, and not too close the succulent, almost within hours and the weed is toast! Just another tool in the tool box!

[@LauraEubanks]

Thanks, Posie! Miss you and think of you often! Thank you again for sharing your Vegas with us!

[@shahramchenar4791]

It’s very nice

[@SuperClemdog]

Beautiful! I really like the aloe in that pot. However, I think the plants would look better without the tiny border.

[@LucasEY]

Happy Pride Month!!! Excited to hear about the new campaign!

[@karenamalfi8551]

If you put the Sticks on Fire in a nursery pot and sunk that in the ground, wouldn’t that keep the root system from spreading? I do that when I don’t want something to get too big for a smaller area.

[@altheac4021]

Great idea!! Didn't even think of that🤯

[@foliagecove355]

such a lovely garden ,and happy pride month :D

I once had a Aeonium cutting survive summer because I put it in the shade.

[@tomdix8028]

Just amazing what you guys did, love the stones, but don't know what it is with mangaves and scale.

[@richardstough4297]

"You don't ice the cake before it's baked" Put that on a shirt and I will buy it.....

[@christinemillership1189]

Yes!!

[@stevevicki5671]

How about a rock border instead of the mini-fence?!

[@SuperClemdog]

I agree!

[@jerrysandberg3728]

@@SuperClemdog I agree too! Rocks and stones are waaaay better. plus the white fence would look better in a reddish brown.

[@spikeghost666]

the bag in the garden. the hedge at my mother's house has the same problem, there's always a bunch of stuff getting stuck under it by the wind. There's a whole beach ball stuck in there and we have no idea where it came from lol

[@Fabdanc]

Mealybugs 🤢 they are my nemesis. Here where I am, neem seems to not work. I switched to horticultural/dormant oil and it's been knocking them out.

[@esmeraldagreengate4354]

They are on a mission to destroy my Fred Ives and they are succeeding

Well needed maintenance. Are you scheduled to do anything against the gray wall on the side of the house?

[@user-rn7gb4er7c]

🥰

[@jtrose6995]

Laura? faithful follower/fan...what are those greenblue obsidian looking pieces of rock at the baseof the fountain?

[@user-vy6fk3rh6z]

It’s funny how you don’t like grass. Must be a maintenance thing. But what would they have in its place? So you washed the mealy bugs off. That’s all it takes to get rid of them? Won’t they return or go to the other plants from the ground?

[@mysticalearthofferings]

not very quickly , a hard blast from the hose will kill a lot of them and if you check back with the hose every so often its easy to stay on top of any returning ones

[@blairewoodrome8678]

Mealy bugs have plagued my north central FL garden, I need a drastic fix, they have even attacked my clumping bamboo!

[@nausheentariq6750]

What is that plant next to the Aloe Vera by the window? The tall pinkish one?

[@robingrunzweig1880]

where did you get than long-handles spade?? beautiful job!

[@LauraEubanks]

from the box store!

[@lealuckau9278]

What kind of Felco do you use?

[@michaelmarin2806]

Awesome content as always :). Why don't you ever use the "big as an SUV Euphorbia tirucali 'sticks on fire' as a hedge or tree? You always mention there's no big succulents for hedges or large scale mass plantings; do these fail as a large scale plant, for your design purposes? I see them up here around Riverside CA used as massive specimens in front yards or large scale slope installations. Thank you!!! Happy Pride!

[@denisedewire1091]

Too bad the client can't remove dead blooms and some of that grass to keep it under control? And pull weeds? Great job as always! DFS

[@brokenbutterfly3178]

2:14 what is that blue agave called behind you?

Grass is not always a good plant to have in a garden as it's high maintenance there are many ways to have your garden without a lawn just watch this channel and your be shown many ways and this garden would look 100 times better with out the lawn

Did you clip some dried up tips on the potted aloe at the end of the video? Is this something you can do with Aloe? What about agave and mangave...asking for a friend ;)

Yes!! Improves the appearance of any plant!

Is the sticks of fire poisonous?

Do you sift the lava rocks or just add more on top?

Add more after picking out what debris we can.

You should harvest those aloe seeds from the blooms and sell them!

Dreaded centipede grass, can travel underground a keep coming up.

You got that right!

[@tinaparis8068]

Lawn...not so much pretty. It's so high maintenance and not water wise. Hopefully we might see a dry creek bed??? Love the succulents and cacti.

[@pailbadcock]

That grass has to go!

[@jerrysandberg3728]

Yes!!! Get rid of the lawn. Especially in the front sidewalk area AND GET RID OF THE TACKY WIRE FENCE IN FRONT of the succulents. Add more dramatic Barrel Cacti clustered (maybe 3 together). Extend the garden near the house so the lawn is half the size initially. Extend the front sidewalk garden to the other side of the fence too. Add more so this becomes a prize winner type garden, not simply an "OK" succulent garden.

[@DixieGirl9876]

I hate that variety of grass. Looks beautiful after the TLC!

Oh it looks like youre upset. Don't worry you can skip all her videos because the only person thats losing something is you. So do not speak like her life depends on your views. Besides thats what makes Laura, Laura. Please be a dear to us and drag your ungrateful a$$ elsewhere 😊
