Love the Toad hopping through. So nice to know that there’s hope for my overgrown bed. Inspires me to tackle my craziness. Inspiring ❤️

[@theacripps8099]

That was such a cute moment!!

[@betha5539]

That was so cute haha. I couldn't believe it when she said it only took her an hour and a half to do all that. For most of us that would have been an all day job. So satisfying.

[@joanneronaldwalton3812]

I was hoping someone would mention the little guy. Glad to see he was able to photo bomb the video.😍

[@tinaclauson5238]

Yes! Made me laugh! 😊

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

I read somewhere that toads in the garden eat the "bad" bugs and to encourage them, to turn a broken terra-cotta pot upside down to give them a place to hang out in the garden.

[@theacripps8099]

Anyone else strangely satisfied and feeling empowered when Laura cuts back a plant so far?? Certainly makes me confident to do the same on some plants that I know need it in my own garden! Great job Laura, thanks for demonstrating how you clean beds/give iron to plants. I think I say this everytime I see the plant in your garden but WOW that Winecraft Black Smokebush looks amazing! Really want that in my own garden soon.

Call this one The Toad Episode....an unexpected surprise! :) When you were cleaning up this area behind the coop, it seemed like we were visiting an old friend. Always loved that pallet walkway and all the plants, so I enjoyed everything about this video--just as I enjoy every video. Thanks!

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Laura, you make timid gardeners brave when you attack an area like you did today. Looks so good! You’re a rock star! I know the Hartley is taking longer than expected but, we’re all still excited to see how it evolves!🤩

[@gaillowe7505]

oh brother, brave???

[@choctaw5050]

Ditto, what Rebecca said!… lol

[@barbll000]

I'm brave now too to Chelsey chop, prune, trim and cut back and I have Laura to thank for teaching me how and showing me how.

[@ihopeugrow]

This is the kind of video that calms my anxiety after watching horrible things in the news. This and pressure washing patio videos. Very satisfying! Thanks! - Zee

[@LGarbuio09]

Took me back to one of my favourite children's book, The Secret Garden. It was so satisfying to see "unruly" turn to "beautiful"! The toad just simply couldn't have been timed better ;)

[@missthang4770]

I am inspired to quit sulking about the toll extreme heat and unprecedented pest pressure has taken on my garden and just give it a good grooming. This video was so timely. OK. Got my gardening face on. Thank you!

@Missthang ~ 👏👏👏 great attitude! Now, onto the grooming.😊🤗

[@catherinewoodward3478]

You are a power house! I'm amazed with how much you do on a day-to-day basis. So inspiring to see an overgrown space get some TLC and look fresh again! Great work!

The chicken coop gardens are my favorite area!! And I love seeing the cats!!

[@karenbard6229]

Anyone else see the 🐸 frog?? Awesome!! And what a cut back! 🌸🌺

[@barbll000]

I really appreciate you for being so authentic and showing us the "got a little ahead of me" garden spot. I think anyone who gardens knows how being busy in another area or project for a bit and then you look and a section has grown out of control. But what I love most is how quickly you got it under control. You said 1.5 hours. I've had areas I've avoided because they got out of control and I thought they were going to be a beast to straighten up but when I finally got motivated I too found that in only 15 minutes or a 1/2 hour of work it was done!! Lesson learned to not let these overgrown areas be so scary. (Another area I will use cardboard over the plants that I don't want and then soil on top). Much less work.

[@renateheyner6643]

A stand of sunflowers between the fountain and the hen house would keep the girls cooler. And would be so pretty!!!

[@choctaw5050]

Breath-taking… I mean I’m out of air just watching you today. You sound so excited and that gets me motivated. Thanks Laura and Aaron. Love your life….

[@jeanshadron1443]

I love to watch these maintenance videos. You tie in to them with such confidence. After all your years of gardening you probably don’t have to think about it you just know I can tear this out, this I need to cut back to the ground, I can trim these branches and it won’t hurt a thing. Oops, chlorosis…needs iron. Oh yeah all of it could use mid-season fertilizer. And last but not least let’s put some compost on to give it that finishing touch! Absolutely love it! Then when I would be passed out on the grass, you stand back and say”it only took an hour and a half”. 🤭 in 100+ degree heat!

[@7bethikins]

Thank you Laura and Aaron for consistently putting out quality videos. I had to put my beloved dog, Newton, to sleep unexpectedly a few days ago. Watching your videos these past few days has brought some peace and comfort during this very emotional time. Sharing your world with us has truly been a gift in so many ways and I hope you are blessed to continued to do so for a long time. Thanks again.

[@annehedlund7333]

Our pets certainly leave a hole in our heart when they go.

[@nmp6338]

In Michigan, we would referred to this area as a “hot mess.” I just cleaned up my hot mess and it almost killed me. The intensive heat just fried so many plants even with consistent watering.

[@terrybittenbender4561]

Love the whimsy of the frog leaping at 7:56. Thanks…it’s the little things!

[@kathysparks5128]

Awww. The little frog at 7:51🐸

[@RaeC]

It was so cute seeing the frog hopping at 7:50. I bet the kids like seeing the wildlife. Hope your mom is doing well. Enjoy the day.

[@athenagibaszek6319]

Good morning! I'm super excited this school year, my goal for this year is to start a community garden at the school that the students will maintain and grow edibles that they can take home! After watching Garden Answer and Laura growing for the love of growing and giving to the community it has inspired me to do the same while teaching our children to do the same ... self sustainability and supporting the community 🥰

[@GardenerPhyl]

That’s brilliant! 🙏🏻🌱

[@terrybittenbender4561]

Love the idea!

[@mukthatumkur3324]

Somehow, I always feel better after watching you attack a flower bed that needs work. Something so satisfying. Thanks for sharing this and the bed is looking so much better.

[@cathymcquinn9113]

It’s crazy how quickly a bed can get over grown. It’s such a grand feeling when you get in there and take down the beast!!

Pruning, cleaning and mulching makes an area beautiful again, along with your soul satisfaction. Laura you are truly a magical person with your gardening. Thanks for all the information you have provided to all of us.

[@kaystinebrink1220]

I cut back some overgrown plants and was shocked how "naked" the area looked. Glad to see that is what happens to everyone during the growing season.

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Laura ☕️ I love the pallet walkway. Seeing the frog 🐸 hop by was so cute. I was wondering about all that dust while you were blowing near the Heartly 😳 wouldn’t want to clean all that glass! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

[@digsindirt4490]

Oh hey… there’s a little dude statue under there! Nature will take back the world if we ever get out of the way. LOL The garden looks great again. That was a lot of work, but even the little frog appreciated it. :) Great job Laura!

[@katiedc8239]

That little frog on the run was so cute! Wisterias are beasts; they're beautiful but they will spread like wildfire and grab onto anything! How often do you have to apply the chelated iron to bring a plant back to a healthy green? The area looks much better!

[@cathycorriher6313]

That area looks so much better......you get an A+. It was fun to see the road hopping along the sidewalk......and of course Russell and friends.

[@lauradaniel7596]

Loved that little frog jumping to found him a new home!

[@darlenemc3586]

Laura, I think most of the soil in your area came from the Mazama Volcano blast that made Crater Lake. Your area is like a breadbasket area....tons of beets, carrots, wheat and onions are grown there. Have you ever talked to any of the local farmers about their iron problem? I live in North Central Washington and my soil is white powder just like your soil! I have hard water like you as well and I'm betting I have the same iron problem, too. anyway...your garden is looking beautiful as always!! I loved seeing the horse run thru the back pasture, btw. God Bless!

[@krisbaker9427]

The frog! ❤️ love watching you neaten up this pretty area.

[@julievanagtmael787]

I love a good clean up. Its so satisfying. And it gives me encouragement that even Laura's beds sometimes get out of control. Reminds me I am not a failure, just a busy person! Thanks for sharing. A nice variety of lessons in today's video.

Looks great Laura! That weeping cherry with the small statue underneath is beautiful. You have such a genius for horticulture and landscaping. I hope your mom is OK.

I hope the frog/toad is okay. Did you see him? Right after you used the leaf blower? I love seeing those around! And I’m always impressed how efficient you are at the cleanup of overgrown places. So satisfying. Wish I could do that! It would kill me at my age now - especially in the kind of heat that’s been prevalent lately. Good job, girl!!! 💚💚💚

[@janeta2559]

Glad you decided to keep the area on the way to the Hartley more clear of a lot of planting so it doesn't take away from how beautiful the Hartley actually is.

[@robingrunzweig3940]

how satisfying was that! there's always something, right? esp when it borders an area where projects are going on... now the chickens can see out from that side again, lol... happy to see Douglas! now we need a glimpse of No... love seeing the horse in the background; how nice is that.. just to hear them neigh occasionally and get a glimpse of them... 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video!! 🙂 ❤

[@deesa3500]

So who is Douglas, when did this feline come on the show? 🤔

[@nancymaslanka2940]

Yes, it’s good to see a cut back and shape up. Gardening really isn’t just buying and planting a bunch of stuff it’s taking care of WHAT YOU’VE GOT and making it look good in any season, especially after the bloom boom! Sometimes you just hafta see how a plant grows where you are and not what it says on a plant tag.

[@randomharts]

Love the frog 🐸 hopping over the pallet walkway at 7:51…we don’t have frogs where I live!

[@fraukeg.facchini2691]

One and a half hours? That would take me at least half a day, Laura! That was such a satisfying transformation that encourages us to cut back plants to rejuvenate them. Please give us an update when they have flushed back.

I thought the same when she said an hour and a half!! I also thought it would take more than a single load in the gator to the compost field. Never underestimate her.

Great video and a visit from Mr. Toad! Thank you so much for showing your garden bed explosion.

LOL As always you have given me inspiration to tackle what at the moment seems overwhelming. You are a blessing in my life, for sure.

[@dishaw2709]

Wow just wow, you let that whole area go all summer. I trim and prune my roses at least once a month and get four shows of blooms. This just shows you have much to deal with. What would you do without the awesome help you have with Paul and Bethany. But I did enjoy watching and the new homes for the plants moved out. Cute frog hopping by.

Well done 👍 Laura is getting it done 🤗

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

Thanks, Laura, for everything you have taught me! This year, I've had a problem with two andromeda bushes. They are in two different areas of my garden. They each started looking like they had a bug infestation, so I treated them for that, with no improvement. Then, I looked more carefully at the leaves. I realized it must be an iron deficiency. I've never had problems with lack of iron in my area but knew what it looked like because of your videos. I promptly treated both plants, and they are now doing just fine!! I need to continue to monitor them and treat them as needed, but I now feel empowered that being a good gardener is about trouble-shooting problems. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@GardenMinistry.]

This was very satisfying to watch! I am looking forward to seeing the pallet walkway evolve with plants on both sides one day, I've loved seeing it through the years. I also can not wait to see the process of the landscape around the Hartley! It's going to be so beautiful with whatever Laura decides to do! 😊❤️

[@mariafolch8067]

What a workout!! I was wondering how were you keeping up with the original garden. Thanks for showing us that you also let things go out of whack. Your property is so big and with so many projects going on, I was wondering how you managed. You are an inspiration to me. I think the palet walkway should maintain some curves. It would not have the same effect as a straight walkway. Loved seeing that Douglas is still around at 1:20 and Russell greeting you at 1:25. Also loved seeing that little frog leaping towards a shelter at 7:50 and the horse galloping in the background at 13:29 - 13:30. I am hoping you turn your newest property into a horse area with a stable, running circle and all. Great area for Benjamin to ride a horse.

[@melodymiller8513]

Thank you for showing us real life. We all have spaces that get out of control with growth. It was encouraging to see you cut back the over growth. Sometimes it is hard to do in the middle of summer. I cut my salvia back for the second time and it was hard bc a few stalks had blooms left, but looked so much healthier afterwards.

[@annduffy1356]

Wow Laura, what a transformation! It just seems like yesterday that all of those plants behind the chicken coop were planted! I honestly didn’t realize where you were until you cleared most of the over growth. That had to be satisfying! The pallet walk looks brand new!

[@thalia_metaxa5542]

Watching you trimming and pruning in fast forward is one of the most satisfying things!! I always take big breaths during the videos, as if I'm breathing along with the plants...
