      She's real and honest but still has standards she doesn't cross. So she's not real in the sense that she disregards manners. She always maintains those. That's the beautiful dance she does of being real within boundaries of good manners.

    It isn’t always apparent to me why you make a tree planting location decision but your comment today about cozy rooms brought it more into focus for me. Everything is beautiful now, but when your gardens mature they are going to be a stunning oasis. I hope I live long enough to see your vision come together. 😂❤

    Laura, thank you for not editing out your mishaps from today. It's a natural part of gardening, but when we think it's just happening to us, it can be discouraging. Now the next time I make a frustrating mistake or step in an ant hill, I will think, "It happens to Laura too. I can do this!"

    It's cool that you leave events in the video like the 2 right gloves and hitting the drip tube. It's the story of my life that one project spirals into more. Just yesterday the cap falls off the end of the weed eater and I look for it on the ground for 20 minutes. Found it though when I ran over it with the lawn mower. Like, what the heck! Ha! Happy that even the best can have days when things don't go as planned

      Just finished a 4+ yr house reno, mostly by myself, and I’ve learned to plan for at least twice the time as I think I’ll need! I’ve had to take on the motto “everything’s a project!” (insert desired expletive as needed 😂) You think it’ll be a quick thing but, nope, it dominoes into about three more…
      PS One of my projects was to bury gutters, and one has a pop-up drain out in the yard. I’ve replaced that stupid plastic cover at least three times after hitting it with the mower!! 🤪 (again insert expletive) I feel your pain!

    I'm sure it was no fun to live, but it was funny and relatable to watch. We all have these frustraiting, do-nothing-right days, but it's our reaction to it - laughing and acceptance over upset/mad or self judgement - that make it better.

I am planning on helping my daughter clean up some beds. She is due any day! I can completely relate to the cutting drip tube and two right hand gloves incidents! I bet most of us can. I was trying to get a baby quilt top completed before heading down here and sewed the border on incorrectly. I therefore spent a lot of the evening ripping those stitches out and decided it is too late in the evening to be doing this! I love y'all's podcast! I appreciate your tenacity and fully approve the message you both present! 😂😂😂.

    It’s been one of those days. We had one like that about three weeks ago. (Not in the garden, but frustrating, still). The car was having issues with a couple of things so it went into the shop. About the same time, the fridge went out. And our new rescue dog proved he’s not as reliable about house breaking as we thought. That along with the heat, and believe it or not, we’ve got smoky haze in Oklahoma from the horrible fires in Oregon. But it can all be managed.

      We Are Told In Scripture, That A Follower Of Jesus Will Live As He Did. To Truly Follow Christ Is To Follow His Example And Imitate His Life.
      1 Peter 2:21 ~ “For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.”
      1 John 2:3-4 ~ “And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
      Ephesians 5:1-2 ~ “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
      1 Peter 1:14-16 ~ “As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.’”
      Matthew 6:33 ~ “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Interesting how things play out from one little change. Find a spot for an extra bench, lay a few stones, need a tree, have the perfect tree….last tree that needs to planted (for now). Magical transformation that was never planned. Love it! I love the way you do it….no tedious designing, no massive planning, just….what do I need here? End result….beautiful magical garden space. You got it! You make such fun out of everything. Love it when you and Aaron work together also. You’re both just so real….just who you are. That’s why we all love you so much. 👍💕🦋🕊

    Loving all the new editions, so full and bursting with flowers. The echinicea, did not know it has that many varieties.

    I loved this video! Thanks for sharing the imperfect moments. Keeping our sense of humor about them is important. Question: Could Aaron and maybe also Paul do a video on how they choose supply line vs. drip line, and how they decide which to choose based on how much water you need to go to each region?

    Oh, bless your heart, Laura! You had a rough go at it!
    Please tell us you had a nice drink 🍸 at the end of the day? If you were my garden buddy, we'd be drinking a mimosa and carrying on! When Aaron said we could just cut it and then put it back together, I wanted to throw my pruners at him for you and say, "You fix it!"
    Thanks for the laughs, I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who has these days!

    Thanks for sharing the days that are challenging, too. Your day looked very familiar to a lot of my days! I swear it’s just not easy to make progress with ants, moles, irrigation woes, heat. This is fun, right? Lol
    I love the echinacea and tree additions!!

    Bummer about the drip line, but I appreciate watching you do this stuff. I currently hand-water everything in my little yard, but at some point I want to add drip too. Anyhow, you inspire me and I appreciate your show. 🌸

Thanks for keeping it REAL Garden Answer! Much ❤🙏🏻 sent your way!

    Just all the beautiful things you were planting today. The more you plant the more its getting more and more beautiful and just so inspiring for us and just love when you had planted your new beautiful tree near your bench and the excitement you had in your voice. Is just like all of us gardener's get when we look at our garden and just take in all in what we have done. Just breathtaking

    @asaliden4584 Місяць тому +1

    I’m so grateful that you take us with you in your journey in the south garden. It has been my biggest inspiration in my own “blank slate” garden and is finally beginning to show some structure.
    I also find plants, bushes and trees I like and just put it in the ground remembering that I can move it if I don’t like it right there.
    Biggest problem is that I must amend the soil a lot so older garden beds with rich soil are jam packed and newer beds more sparsely planted.

    BTW, how do you manage not to swear at things like biting ants? Or did you just cut that part out? LOL

    I’m so jealous of all the beautiful varieties of Echinacea you planted. In my area, the rabbits would eat it down to the ground.
