- Remember those aeonium cutting I had left over from last maintenance video in my garden?
Let’s plant them in the gutters!
I’ll share watering tips and talk about what’s going and what’s staying in my garden when we move.
I hope the new owners will hire you to maintain everything
Whomever buys this home will be blessed with a beautiful, well-loved, and meticulously groomed front and back yard. Wouldn't it be funny if these were actually selling points of this home? It'd be a hoot if the new owners are fans too!
I would definitely miss that gorgeous fountain! Too beautiful. Glad it is going with you, Mrs. Eubanks:)
Definitely would take my water fountain 😍❤️🌵
whoever buys that house has no idea the masterpiece they are getting!!! you need to sign your name on the fence! 🥰🥰 ah, decisions, decisions... i'm excited for your move because i know you will make the next place fabulous, but what a hard move to make after 14 years of love in the garden.... 💖💖💖💖
Thanks for the tip about humidity with succulents.
Thank you for all the great summer succulent maintenance information! Summer is in full swing in Phoenix Arizona 9B- the temps are ranging from 105 - 112, and my succulents are starting to stress. On my walkabout I’ll check about adding soil . My greatest challenge is watering, how much and how often. So, thanks for the tutorial, and thank you Greg for the great close-ups!! Enjoy your week and welcome back home!
Always, i Love visiting with you. You have a wonderful relaxed way of working and making me smile when I see such beauty. 🥰
I finally planted my own gutters in February Laura. They were and are gorgeous! However, 5 months in and in east central FL, they’ve grown so much that the top gutter has grown all the way down to the bottom. They get 8+ hours of direct FL sun a day and need to be watered every other day. We’re in the 90’s with 60%+ humidity and I haven’t lost one succulent - 35 varieties! - to rot. Unfortunately, the whole thing needs reworked because of the growth. I highly recommend the collapsible snake like hoses. 👍
What do you use for potting mixture? I live in the panhandle and I still get some rot, which is devastating as you might expect.
I was literally about to ask about being in the 90+ and 60% humidity. I made a gutter wall to help shade my deck. It’s loaded with newly planted succulents..and after all the videos I’ve watched I’m so scared to water them yet because every video says to water once a month! I did use a lot of perlite mixed with soil and added succulent fertilizer, topped off with pebbles. I’m going to be so sad if my garden dies because it is soooo beautiful!
Your gutters are soooooo lush!!
Remember the time when you got jumpscared by a lizard while renovating the gutters? 🤣😂
Expandable hoses, love them. Light-weight and they don't kink. They are kind of weird becasue they will literally grow when you turn the water on and then shrink way down when you turn the water off. But, yeah for light-weight!!
I will be so glad if that large aeonium head is separate. I love the rest of the crest but have always found that one head ruined it for me. Am so looking forward to seeing the new garden and its growth over the next few years. Much love from Val in Oz.
I feel like if you don’t take the red planter with you when you move, you might wish you had and it’ll be easier to move your crested plant instead of digging it out 🙂
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing succulents lovely garden
That created succulent is a beautiful piece of living ART love it 🦘🐨❤️
Lemon tree will be VERY happy in Vista climate!
You’ve got to take your gutters with you!!!
I know!!!
I’m sad and excited at the same time. I’ve been watching you for several years now and have loved your garden and all that you do with it. It will be sad to not see your beautiful garden after your move. However, I am so excited to see what you will do to a blank canvas and that we will learn so much from you from the start. Best wishes for a smooth transition
I love that your taking the lemon tree with you!
I’m very happy with the ZeroG hoses. But I loooove our Hoselink. So pricey, but I cannot overstate what a game changer it was for this hobby gardener. I think you’d love it.
I have had great luck with the expanding hose, got it off Amazon. I will see if I can find the link for you
So sad you are moving I’ll miss that pretty background and your gutter. But looking forward to what you will be allowed to do at the next house.
We just got our house sided and they are putting in new gutters next week. My husband already told me he's getting me three new gutter pieces with end caps for succulents!!! So excited. But I'm in NJ so they can only be outside in the summer. Trying to figure out a way to have two hanging spaces - one outdoors and one inside... and maybe one in the sunroom... Hmmm...
I live in SW Florida. My succulents do ok unless we get a tropical system and days of non stop rain. I cover them or move them under cover when that happens and they do fine. A little extra effort to be able to enjoy them in Florida.
Your shirt is awesome!
I love learning.
Glad you and Greg had a happy 4th! 🇺🇸💥🧨
Take your guttets. They are so cool
Check into a hoselink retractable hose. Garden Answer swears by them
Have you thought using cacti on the gutters? Like mammillarias? Is it possible?
Laura, my favorite hose is a bionic steel hose, it's light weight and indestructible! Thanks for all the tips of the day!
Also how do your clients feel about visitors to the projects after completion?
Love the T-shirt!
Can I plant my succulents in only plain dirt? My sister did it all the time and her succulents were beautiful. I want to make a garden bed but buying soil can get pricy. Maybe incorporate dirt with soil and some perlite. Any feedback?
Hi. What's the name of the funny looking green pillar cactus in that pretty brown pot? It´s very exotic for me, never seen it. I would like to find it for my own 😄
If you mean the lumpy looking tall one, it’s a totem cactus. One of my favorites!
@@pollytiks3885 Exactly that lumpy cactus. Descriptive is the name for it, thank you very much. I have to go "hunting" for this next. It´s a very lovely one 🌵🌵 Laurie's Totem cactus it's so handsome, symmetric 🙂
Hi Laura, i am following your succulent Gardening tips. I am wondering, if here in Germany (hot urban summer climate with lesser frosty winters) gutters would be survive outside...
Would be happy about your reply... :))

I have anxiety 😦 for your move of this garden.
Are the cutting scabbed over or freshly cut?
I think she said she cut them 'before we left' for a trip so they should be healed now.
@@jtidema thanks, I didn't catch that!
Do a giveaway of cutting please
Estas duas prateleiras, são rasas, tem furo para drenar? São lindas
Yes, she said there are holes about every six inches for drainage. You can see the water pouring through at 10:16
Or, according to Google Translate, Sim, ela disse que há buracos a cada 10 cm para drenagem.
