Who's The Boss Between The Two of You? // Why Do a Square Behind the Benches? // Recap 🌿

[@cynthiag3065]

I love the new merch.❤ I had a Dutch friend that was a young child during WWII. She shared how her family (and community) survived the war by eating their tulip bulbs. She knew so many ways to cook and eat tubers and bulbs. I feel it’s important to share her story and honor her memory.🕊️

[@anncurran4704]

I worked with a Dutch lady. She talked about how the tulips took hours to cook. The German soldiers would go into homes, toss out the cooked tulips so they would have to start over. She was such a delight and made the best buttery cookies.

It’s so refreshing to hear you both discuss the question regarding “who is the boss”….you work together as a team, there should not be a “boss” in a relationship.

Love your channel!! Thank you for being consistently positive and kind. ❤️💙

[@michelleherald9619]

I believe Daylight Savings Time was introduced to "lengthen" the days in spring and summer for farmers when agriculture was the center of society.

[@yesterdayseyes]

That one never made sense, farmers just get up when the sun comes up, or when they need to. I come from a family them. They are not dictated to by the clock.

[@michelleherald9619]

@yesterdayseyes I agree.

[@nicolecarolee4215]

No. That's a common misconception. It was created to save energy/fuel during World War I and has always been about energy conservation. The agriculture industry/farmers lobbied against DST and lost.

[@aloras405]

Even the farmers who it was supposed to help hate it.

[@leapintothewild]

@@nicolecarolee4215 Yep, and along with the farming, another misconception was that it had to do with kids traveling back and forth to school or waiting for the bus in the dark - though that one still comes up a lot today when discussing whether we should be changing time at all.

[@lovesoil8512]

I love your channel for gardening info and guidance but your natural delivery is what keeps it real and easy to digest. Nope! No bloopers. 😉

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Here in Minnesota it was explained to me years ago that the time changes were so the kids on school busses don't have to be standing roadside or let out the bus roadside in the dark. Rural areas have less street lighting and car drivers could not see the kids in the dark. Safety reasons to shift daylight time frames.

[@terrypauloregon]

I think the best thing about the two of you working together and being together 90% of your days. Is your communication, mutual respect, and the love you share. We may not see it but it shows when you do projects together. 😅 ok you just made a blooper!!!❤43:31

[@EmilysGarden902]

I 100% get the not wanting to hurt feelings/go back to fix something, so you just do it yourself!

[@gpswatching]

Daylight saving time allows for a longer working day with sunlight. It’s great for farming and tending crops without it getting dark before you are finished. In the winter you don’t need to be outside so getting dark earlier is not interfering. I prefer DST over standard time because I don’t care for getting off work in the dark.

[@lizpelletier7785]

Don’t forget the children going to school in the dark. Safety concern.

[@aloras405]

Farmers get up with the sun so that makes no sense.

[@gpswatching]

@@lizpelletier7785 Yes, this is very true. That is a great reason to change back in the fall.

[@RTCPhotoWork]

​@@lizpelletier7785Instead, especially for those living far north, it trades going to school in the dark for coming home in the dark.

You need a spray boom mounted above your grow light racks.

[@susanhastings6523]

TIME CHANGE: I remember back in the 60's in Minnesota we started the time change due to children walking to school in the dark. We lived in a small community where most town kids walked to school and the clock change was seen as a safety thing for children

I can totally relate to Laura's independence in planting. I never know when I might change my mind in mid stream. And I do a lot of meditating and dreaming my dreams when I plant. I also like independence in the kitchen as my Mother also did.

[@deborahburgart561]

Wouldn't it look nice if you used a more cone shaped Boxwood (maybe Green Mountain or one of the new "Better Boxwoods' varieties) on either side of the entrances in the quadrants to the former flower garden? The smaller ones could terminate into the cone shaped ones and it would like just lovely..more of an end point. Right now it just stops at something short. It would be more in the formal, English style with the cones as well. Just a thought😊. Love your videos!!!!

[@heatherwoods5703]

It's so good that you "outsource" anything you don't need to do. Especially as a family with young kids, you want to do what ONLY YOU can do. Anything that can be don't by someone else that doesn't fit your purposes, your roles should be outsourced. Especially because your budget allows for it. 😊💗

When Aaron said you’re not a “team player”…my initial thought was OUCH but…I think when you said it you were saying it as compliment (?)…and the more I think about it…in what you do…being a “Boss” and maybe a little bit of a perfectionist is appropriate and efficient and just right. From the videos, it does seem you do work well with your “team”…or you wouldn’t be able to get everything done that you do. Oh, and I love the way you describe how you are with each other…a little push back is healthy for a relationship and how boring would it be without that.

hi there...talking about the time changes. I'm in British Columbia, Canada. Same time zone as you. I'm pretty sure we got federal approval to ditch the time changes.
