      🏕 What is the tall tree in Lauras skinny yard, peaking over the fence ?! I love Laura's old house garden. I've watched the small yard video several times. I'm just curious, does anyone else know what is that Tall tree on the other side of the fence, in Laura's yard? ! She's mentioned the smaller shurbs, not sure of the names of the taller tree in this skinny section of her old yard. 🤩 Beautiful .

She is in the throws of being a full time caregiver after years of being cared for. Now I am able to care for her in a way that brings BOTH of them joy. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

    It's always great to do things like this for a great Mothers Day present. My wife and I extended her mother's vegetable garden and completely cleaned up her flower beds. Doing it yourself really gives it a personal touch and expresses how much you appreciate them. It would have been a lot easier if I had a bank of bags, employed help and an endless choice of what to put in. The dream world of UA-cam, sponsors out the ying yang, really shows what you can do if ya got it.

    5 years ago I helped my sister and her husband mulch their foundation plantings. We put down a layer of cardboard before adding the mulch. Even to this day there are very few weeds coming up. Cardboard mulching is wonderful! The only time I’ve had a problem with it was at my own house where I had mare’s tail weed. It punched through the cardboard. Everything else was suppressed. I finally had to use a commercial grade landscape fabric. Live and learn!

    Removing shrubs? Highly, highly recommend the straight-handled Radius Root Slayer shovels! Nomad for smaller shrubs/plants...XL for bigger shrubs. These are my go-tos for digging things out. The XL can also handle ornamental grasses removal (cut out wedges from the root mass until all gone). I'm a 68 y.o. pro gardener and the right tools make all the difference!

    Every year for many, many years my Mother's Day gift has been my husband and kids doing some heavy gardening for me. That's all I've wanted. My older son is now married and moved to another state but my younger son and husband still do this for me. Sometimes it's digging and reworking a flower bed but for the past number of years it's primarily adding compost or mulch depending on the year. It's such a wonderful gift because it's hard work. We buy bulk and use a wheelbarrow to then shovel it all over. Once it's done the beds look so good and it definitely is motivating. I am very blessed.

    Happy Mother's day 😊 It was so satisfying to watch mulching projects 😅

    Doing a task in the garden for mom is a perfect Mothers Day gift!
    Me and my mom are long distance, so last year I ordered her a big container and 3 PW annuals. She loved it and she told me that everytime she looked at the conrainer, she thought of me🌻🌸

    I used compost this year and I love, love, love it! It helps with amending the soil in my new bed. AND I don’t have to fight with my puppy (whom I’m convinced is part billy goat) with bark! I should request this from my kids for Mothers Day!! That’s genius!!
