I know it probably feels redundant to you to show us your yard every couple months, but we LOVE IT!! They’re my favorite videos that you put out. I rewatch them over and over again.
Katie Lynn Oh same! They’ve really inspired me to revitalize my neglected garden. I’ve learned so much watching their videos and have taken this season to look at the bones, remove some over growth, baby what’s there and plan for next year. (I garden in a 7b). The elm is a huge loss for many reasons but I have full confidence they will choose something beautiful for its place. ❤️
So true!!! Even my daughters (8 and 12) check youtube for the latest video while I'm doing morning chores and come yelling in excitement to me "Garden Answer has a new video and it's a tour!!!" 😊😊😊
Laura & Aaron, your video's are never too long. Please do not shorten nor fast forward as I enjoy looking at all the plants, hearing Laura's comments negative and positive which helps me decide if I want to try that plant next year.
Raise your hand if the video wasn't near long enough for you! We love seeing the paradise you have created, and plus we're greedy, haha! Aaron, you just keep getting better and better with you videographer skills, too. What a team you are.
Sing loudly after me: "Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, I've got a beautiful feeling....this garden tour makes my day! " Bravo Laura and Aaron
I'm soo sad about your Elm! I live in Grosse Pointe, mi and we lost Hundreds of elms over my 58vrs here! My favorite went down 2 weeks ago. She was at least 100 yrs old. I cried!
I loved the tour! And the overhead shots. Sometimes it is hard to remember exactly where on your property about which you are talking, so the overhead shots help me understand. This was a three-cup tour. The elm certainly is a difficult loss, even though it had its issues (stupid seeds everywhere). The before-after shot of the coop really brought home the problem you guys have. Thanks for a great tour.
The progress of the container challenge should be a playlist for the videos on their progression over time. Would be a great reference. Love the idea of testing plants!
Love the longer tours, usually they are to short. Regarding your comment about restraining yourself- no, no and no. The fun of experimenting with new plants is what inspires your viewers. I've found and planted many plants you have shown in your videos. Now have limelight hydrangea, coralberries, prettier heuchera, sedums, bigger variety of hostas and the Bloomerang lilac. My gardens are starting to get complements from neighbors and people just passing thru while walking their dogs. The best part though is just sitting under my amur maple enjoying the peace of my flowers with a book and ice tea
"Next Year"---The gardener's favorite expression and what keeps us alive FOREVER......because we HAVE to live another year to try out those ideas! Loved this video.
Hello Laura! Thank you for this beautiful tour of your garden. We are so grateful for the peace and joy that you are offering us. The world can be very chaotic but to have something peaceful and beautiful to watch helps to encourage us to know that goodness is still in the world. Also, we can make our space attractive too. You have been an inspiration to me this gardening season. My garden has benefited from your information and garden channel. You are true to your name. I am looking forward to seeing what you are planning for your garden in the future. Thank you, Aaron, Benjamin, and Laura, for sharing your love of gardening. Blessings and peace!
Don't ever worry about long videos! I just bought a new home with no landscaping. Just an old lilac ( ur video on cutting yours back was awesome!). Watching your videos has made me super happy excited to create gardens on a blank slate. Thanks.
You mean to tell me that I've been watching your videos for 3 years now (when you mentioned planting the hydrangeas and arborvitaes) ??? Wow time flies by so fast
Aaron, I love the drone. It makes it so we understand where we have been on the tour. Laura, thank you for an informative and wonderful stroll through such beauty
Laura & Aaron, I cannot imagine how much time it takes to film & produce a huge garden tour like this. I appreciate it so much! Thank you!! I enjoyed every moment and took lots of notes that will help me design my gardens for next year. You guys are truly the best and your hard work pays great dividends for not only your property, but for all of us who follow and learn. Thanks again! Love you guys! 🙌🙌💚🌿🌺🌸🌾🐓🐱
I have watched this video a few times and every time I watch I’m absolutely amazed by by not only your beautiful property but your knowledge is amazing! Your energy and love for gardening is contagious!
LOVED the aerial views!! And shout out to all the peeps who watch the ads!! :D These guys work so hard so please don't skip the ads. Turn them on, mute them if you must, but go brew some coffee, and by the time your cup is ready, then it's time to watch Laura!
Yes, your videos are long, but that is what makes them glorious! So helpful!!!! I love that you name the plants as you go along . Also love that you do tours of the same garden in different seasons!!! Thankyou!!!
I can't tell you what to do with your garden, but PLEASE. The Marguerite Daisy, Playing the Blues Salvia and Fountain Grass mixture is STUNNING and you absolutely should do that on a larger scale!!!!!! Of all the spots in the garden that one stood out for me because I just *craved* more. The levels, colours and texture together is perfection!!!!! Absolutely stunning. I live for these garden update videos. This is my first year in a home I own myself, and even though I'm in a little apartment with a tiny balcony you have consistently inspired me and taught me so much valuable information 💕💕💕💕💕
Laura remember if the taping is too long we can leave... this time of year it is a joy to view an active garden. Thank you so much for your garden and sharing what you have learned.
Laura and Aaron, I absolutely loved the longer tour. At exactly the same time Laura is apologizing for it being a long video, I'm thinking how fantastic such a detailed tour it was! Ha! As always, thank you so much for sharing your gardening adventure with us!
Around minute 14.25 you said "King Tut's behind". Being new to gardening, I thought that was a funny name for a plant. I chuckled out loud. Love your channel. I'm learning so much. Thank you...
O.m.gosh Laura don’t be sorry at how long this video is ... it’s wonderful to see other people’s gardens especially yours because it’s so big and so many different projects you do interests me ... also Aaron great Ariel footage at the end ... well done both of you. 🌺🌲🌼🌿🌸🌳
Oh, you are just breaking my poor little heart. Bless you and your acceptance that change is necessary, even if we weren't ready. I could feel your sadness over the loss of the elm and it just hurts my heart.
Beautiful! Thank you for the tour. I’m old enough to be your grandmother but I’m still learning especially different plants from you. This year I ordered and planted vertigo pennisetum and I can’t tell you how many people stop and ask me what it is because no one in our area has it and it is gorgeous 👍
I always enjoy the tours, I am in Au of the amount of plants, the experience you have with all you have planned. Thank you and Eraon. My hat is off to you both. Shirley Harvey Il.
I love that you have a great microphone there is never a problem with hearing you. I wish my container plants grew like yours of course the drought in Kentucky hasn't helped anything this year.
There’s ALWAYS GREAT VOLUME....I so APPRECIATE THAT. When I listen to others and it sounds like they’re mumbling, I turn away because it doesn’t make sense that you can’t hear them and my TV or my device is turned up. Great job with the volume Laura/Aaron!
We always had 200 hens in our chicken house with a fenced in yard for them 10ft tall using fencing wire but then we put small hole wire all over that plus we dug down about 1 ft trench all around and 7 ft out from fence. Then we laid small hole fencing in it and covered back with the dirt. That way digging animals couldn’t get to them from under the fence. Reason we did that Dad wasn’t in favor in running to the hen house late at nite with his gun. We also had automatic waters in the house. Saved a lot of work.
I lost 3 large trees in my backyard in about 2 seconds. In a tornado they were tossed like a salad. I went from almost full shade to full sun. It was horrible at first but actually turned into a blessing. I had trees in the front that had grown and that area had changed from full sun to a lot of shade. I moved my back shade plants to the front. I had visited my sister-in-law and she had over 100 roses and I learned about and fell in love with roses. So then I started planted roses in my back yard gardens. I did find beauty in the ashes :)
We had to have 4 huge pines taken down b.c of strong winds this year. I did cry, we planted them 33 years ago and were just beautiful but too close to house.
I play your videos in my living room on continuous play. My hubby asked me why one day he came home early. I told him it’s soothing and I love watching and learning. I’ve learned a few things I want in my garden. I can spot them on site even. I’m hopeful for when finally buy a house.
Try some Cool-a-roo fabric over the top of the chicken run to keep them cool. I’d do a fan that pulls air through the coop. I think installing an a/c unit will make them more susceptible to heat stress overall. And lots of cold clean water, and perhaps a misting spray in the run?
Please don’t add misters. They increase the chance of hens getting coccidia. Perhaps it’s not a problem with desert heat but we have a problem with humidity & killler diseases. A small baby pool with an inch of water might work.
Any garden tour you show is never too long, loved every minute of it. I feel like I am really there walking through the gardens with you and Aaron. Your love of gardening really shines through in your videos and that's what make it so special. Loved it. Can't wait to see what you have planned for next year. It does look really different without the tree but that is mother nature's way of creating new possibilities.
Jane, your comment just brought back a memory for me of times past when our entertainment used to be having friends and relatives drop by for a visit. Mother's flower and vegetable gardens were always tiptop and visitors would "meander" around the garden area and Mother would describe each plant and share cuttings. Laura shares her knowledge and skill in gardening with us but even more special is her love of plants and how she tries to give each plant the best life possible. That love and joy shines through.
I don't think the video was too long. There is so much to see that if I were able to tour it in person, it would take much longer. Thank you for sharing.
Nicole Smith I agree. She’s so good at speaking I could probably watch her fold laundry for an hour 😂 There’s a young artist in Canada that does a live feed when he’s washing dishes and has lots of followers so I’m not all that crazy hahaha.
IM FROM THE UK AND I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I WAS A GARDENER FOR 60 YEARS BUT IM TO OLD TO GARDEN NOW IM FEMALE AND 84 YEARA OF AGE BUT PLEASE KEEP UP THE VIDEOS THEY ARE STUNNING
Don’t ever worry about a video being too long. We can always stop and finish later. It’s lovely to know we have so much gardening video to see. I often watch them over and over.
Wow Laura You and Aaron have worked so hard and it’s all paying off. What a beautiful paradise you have. I think the white fence keeps a country affect. I liked the long video. It was exciting seeing all your hard work. You amaze me. I’m sure someday when God calls us all home, you and Arron will be gardening in Heaven. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾
Love your garden tours! I actually like to openness you have now from removing the elm. Don't be too sad, that view of the coop and the barn is BEAUTIFUL! We keep chickens here in the southern heat. We have no shade trees around their run either, but one part has a corrugated metal roof and a good section of their run is covered with trumpet vine that (at least here) grows like crazy. So maybe some sort of vine could be a temporary option. We do have a fan the circulates air in the coop but that's it. Sometimes we will also provide them with some water trays in the extreme heat so they can get their feet wet to cool off or we wet down the run.
It won't be long and they'll forget about the elm. I've removed about ten trees and have to struggle to remember where some of them were. Nice to not have elm seeds.
I love to watch your videos because they encourage me to work on my yard . I complain it’s big , but when I see yours I’m like I have nothing to complain about .
I think you could make a small pond in the back garden, and maybe do a small area near it where you could let the chickens out for the day, somewhere in shade (the willow could really help with that) plus the hens would be able to perhaps take a bath?
Never too long! Laura, your enthusiasm is wonderful and you have the best attitude about losing the trees and the opportunity this will bring. Aaron thank you for ending the video with gorgeous drone footage. It gives us great perspective of not only the garden but the changes and it’s beauty. 🍁🧡🍂
100% the Fence Fall was a sign/impetus to make a big change in that area. I recommend something open & welcoming. A huge arch with flower trellis, maybe. And three distinct, whimsical areas within the bigger space: one for you, one for Aaron and one for your son - and each of the three, enjoyable to all. Maybe a tunnel for your son. Maybe a chill-out "man cave" spot for Aaron. Maybe a lounge-y, "enjoy the garden spot" for you. I don't know you well enough to guess what you'd each like, but I can imagine a garden's version of a "Family Room."
Thank you Laura for sharing your life and your garden. At 72 my strength and energy don’t keep up with my desire to get things done, so your videos are such a bright light in my day. Wonderful to see such a happy joy filled person always making things beautiful.
The forgotten area is the perfect spot for a large Hartley Botanic "Bespoke Victorian Lodge Greenhouse" and replace the fence with boxwoods with an english cottage garden on inside. We would love to see that Clint & Carrie ...Ps...Thanks for giving us the best garden shows on the web.
Rewatched this video from two years ago...so many updates, changes and dreams fulfilled... Congratulations! Don't forget to revisit some of your past projects. I love to see your experiments and learn how to incorporate plants into my garden.
Trees you have to watch where you plant so not close to house or buildings. Beautiful gardens you know TO PLANT A GARDEN IS TO BELIEVE IN TOMORROW KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK . BEAUTIFUL HOME GAL
Me: "I'm having kind of a rough morning, I should sit down with a cup of coffee and see if Garden Answer has a new video today." Laura and Aaron: "Here's a 54-minute garden tour!" Me: "HALLELUJAH"
I soooooo feel the same!!!!! 😂😊😊😊....and I grasped at my chest with heartbreak at the footage of the tree being removed.....! I know they'll make it beautiful....but gosh, that tree was lovely
During the tour it feels like such a massive piece of property, overwhelming to think about managing… but then there comes the overview and… WOW! It’s still not a small place but it’s tighter than I realized and surrounds your home perfectly so that you can enjoy every directional view at any time of day. Thank you for sharing and keep the videos coming! Loving the transformation, LadyBrave
Gosh can’t believe how mature the gardens looking in just 3 years you guys have achieved so much already.Watch your videos every morning to keep me motivated for my garden and I’m learning so much from you so thank you 🌺🌹🌷🌸🌼🌻🍂🍁🌾🌴🌳🌲😍💕💕💕
Loved this tour! Russell has to be the funniest cat in the world...he hangs right with you step for step. I absolutely love how you love up on your plants. You can tell you love what you do and you do it well! 🥰
Oh your garden is glorious! In all its shapes and seasons and sizes. I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning and it’s wonderful to see not only your garden, but you and your family grow and change and get more beautiful every year. Thank you for sharing this with us. I have a small garden but I love it and you inspire me so much. Thank you!!!!!!!
You’re your was a wonder! Your yard is mammoth and beautiful. Such lovely areas. Your ability to talk for nearly and hour and remember the names of all your plants is amazing. You treat them all like they are your family. I know you love them like they are yours. You can tell you love your home and yard, and it is a joy to watch you show it off. Thank you for the great tour!! So fun!!
Love, love, love the long garden tours and so much to look forward to seeing next year with all the huge changes. I really like the idea of taking the fence down by the back formal garden especially after seeing the aerial views. That would make the space feel more inclusive to the rest of the yard instead of cut off. Excited to see what you decide to do in places where the big trees were taken out. I so look forward to winter for all the planning and dreaming about new projects and Spring!! Thanks Laura and Aaron!!!
Laura stop apologising for the length of the videos. They are never too long! 😂 I long the hayracks. It's so amazing seeing the overhead drone shots of how far they go, absolutely stunning. Love your garden. Thank you both for all the beauty you give us through your garden and yourselves.
Oh wow! Thank you for the fall garden tour. I loved every single minute of it. Your homestead is absolutely gorgeous spring, summer, fall and winter! Simply Stunning!!!!
Laura you're incredably talented and you've created such a wonderful wonderland of beauty, with such a sense of peacefulness, tranquility and a place of rest our busy minds. I can hear in your voice how much you love and care for each one of your plants. Thank you! I'll be stopping by again real soon.........
The tours probably are long for you, but I have never felt that. I am sorry when they end. There is so much to learn from you and see in your beautiful garden. Plus, it feels like I am spending time with a friend.💜💕💚
I love that you celebrate your trees as well as your flowers. That willow is fantastic. I love the length of the video nice treat, never apologize for that 🤗.
You have an incredible yard! You’re an amazing gardener with a beautiful style! I’m just dumbfounded at your talent! Thank you for sharing your world with us.
Make the back area a play place for your son. I didn't see a swing set, sand box, etc anywhere. Its also a great place to kick ball, fly a kite, throw a Frisbee 👍😉
Heck, plant that lemon a-peal thunbergia to run over the coop. Or a hardy vine and bam, shade! 😀Also, your tours are never too long. You are wonderful Laura! You inspire me everyday! Thank you so much for all your hard work! ☺️🙌
There’s no emoji that can show how truly in AWE I AM!!!! A Feast for the eyes indeed! My fav was the vegetable garden the flowers just doing their thing ...looking like bed after bed of brilliant blooms and color....so so good! I could of watched this video go on and on and on...WELL DONE...PAT YOURSELVES ON THE BACK AND DROP THE MIC CAUSE TEAM GARDEN ANSWER DID IT AGAIN!💯😆😉🥰
When I got home from work I was delighted to see a garden tour awaiting me. Exactly what I wanted for my birthday, thank you! I couldn’t believe how emotional I got when you spoke of the life lesson losing the elm demonstrates. As you stated, we need change to grow and sometimes it’s forced upon us. How true. Thank you to both of you for the joy you bring to so many. Blessings-
We don’t mind long tours. We love them. Suggestions for the area where the edge of your barn is an English rose garden with trellis edging and benches. Or create a play area for Benjamin, with hills with underground tunnels and a bike track, climbing walls and swings and slides and a wooden castle fort , a sand pit that’s coverable so the cats don’t destroy his fun, with fruit trees, climbing frames, or alternatively a swimming pool for your family to enjoy.
SO sorry about my earlier comment. of course you didn't mean the saddest thing in life. I was just having a bad day in a long line of bad months so I got myself up and went outside and puttered...it always helps. and so does your channel thanks for a nice way to start my day!
Give Cheddar a treat, he was so loving throughout the tour..
A treat? He *LIVES THERE* ! There's his treat.
Sharon Thompson I missed when they got him. His he another stray that made himself at home or did they adopt him?
@@GoodandDelicious I believe he just showed up and he gets along with Russell.
This lady is one hard working lady. She deserves every success.
I know it probably feels redundant to you to show us your yard every couple months, but we LOVE IT!! They’re my favorite videos that you put out. I rewatch them over and over again.
Katie Lynn Oh same! They’ve really inspired me to revitalize my neglected garden. I’ve learned so much watching their videos and have taken this season to look at the bones, remove some over growth, baby what’s there and plan for next year. (I garden in a 7b). The elm is a huge loss for many reasons but I have full confidence they will choose something beautiful for its place. ❤️
So true!!! Even my daughters (8 and 12) check youtube for the latest video while I'm doing morning chores and come yelling in excitement to me "Garden Answer has a new video and it's a tour!!!" 😊😊😊
I love the growth! Its never the same. Even year to year
I completely agree!! Not redundant to us at all! you're changing so much all the time. I love the updates from your garden tours!
I rewatch get ideas and take note of plants. They are also very uplifting and relaxing. Happy videos
Laura & Aaron, your video's are never too long. Please do not shorten nor fast forward as I enjoy looking at all the plants, hearing Laura's comments negative and positive which helps me decide if I want to try that plant next year.
Raise your hand if the video wasn't near long enough for you! We love seeing the paradise you have created, and plus we're greedy, haha! Aaron, you just keep getting better and better with you videographer skills, too. What a team you are.
Tammy H def not long enough. I need more more more GA.
🙋♀️
⛷️🏃👷
Great episode
lul, it's 54min long. I stopped watching after 2min ;D
As a horticulturist, I love the way you garden. We garden a lot of the same ways. Thanks for being real.
Sing loudly after me: "Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, I've got a beautiful feeling....this garden tour makes my day! "
Bravo Laura and Aaron
I'm soo sad about your Elm! I live in Grosse Pointe, mi and we lost Hundreds of elms over my 58vrs here! My favorite went down 2 weeks ago. She was at least 100 yrs old. I cried!
When I jump on UA-cam in the morning to find that you’ve posted a long video! Squeee! Ahhh let me grab my coffee and get comfy!
Mine was a margarita in the evening 😸
Don't ever apologize for a long video....the longer the better!!
I loved the tour! And the overhead shots. Sometimes it is hard to remember exactly where on your property about which you are talking, so the overhead shots help me understand. This was a three-cup tour. The elm certainly is a difficult loss, even though it had its issues (stupid seeds everywhere). The before-after shot of the coop really brought home the problem you guys have. Thanks for a great tour.
I love that, 'a three cup tour'; I measure time in coffee cups too :)
😂😂yes completely agree.
The progress of the container challenge should be a playlist for the videos on their progression over time. Would be a great reference. Love the idea of testing plants!
Love the longer tours, usually they are to short.
Regarding your comment about restraining yourself- no, no and no. The fun of experimenting with new plants is what inspires your viewers.

I am certain all those pink supertunias were visible from space. WOW! I love the sunflowers too.
Sorry I was paying attention to cheddar the whole time 😂 what a cute curious kitten
Laura is so Cheddar's person.
He's Soooo Cute
Sometimes I play the video over again
What about poor Russell??
Seriously, those cats think they’re dogs...
I think he was lowkey asking to be petted haha.
Don't ever worry about long videos! I just bought a new home with no landscaping. Just an old lilac ( ur video on cutting yours back was awesome!). Watching your videos has made me super happy excited to create gardens on a blank slate. Thanks.

An almost hour long tour...it’s going to be a glorious day!! 🥰🥰🥰
I can't tell you what to do with your garden, but PLEASE. The Marguerite Daisy, Playing the Blues Salvia and Fountain Grass mixture is STUNNING and you absolutely should do that on a larger scale!!!!!! Of all the spots in the garden that one stood out for me because I just *craved* more. The levels, colours and texture together is perfection!!!!!
Absolutely stunning. I live for these garden update videos. This is my first year in a home I own myself, and even though I'm in a little apartment with a tiny balcony you have consistently inspired me and taught me so much valuable information 💕💕💕💕💕
Aaron’s Canna with lemon coral, a consistent winner.
So clean and perfect looking yet very natural.
Laura remember if the taping is too long we can leave... this time of year it is a joy to view an active garden. Thank you so much for your garden and sharing what you have learned.
Oooh love long garden tours, one hour of pure inspiration 😁 let's do this!
And here my fav UA-camrs meet 😍😍😳
I love your tours. My husband and I watched this one with our breakfast. We are amazed. The gardens are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Ann from Va.
Laura and Aaron, I absolutely loved the longer tour. At exactly the same time Laura is apologizing for it being a long video, I'm thinking how fantastic such a detailed tour it was! Ha! As always, thank you so much for sharing your gardening adventure with us!
Around minute 14.25 you said "King Tut's behind". Being new to gardening, I thought that was a funny name for a plant. I chuckled out loud. Love your channel. I'm learning so much. Thank you...
I love that your cat tours the yard too! 🐈
He looks a lot less blonde and more and more like Russell, no?
I was thinking that also! I had to look at his toes tof figure out if it was Russell other Cheddar, lol
O.m.gosh Laura don’t be sorry at how long this video is ... it’s wonderful to see other people’s gardens especially yours because it’s so big and so many different projects you do interests me ... also Aaron great Ariel footage at the end ... well done both of you. 🌺🌲🌼🌿🌸🌳
Oh, you are just breaking my poor little heart.
Bless you and your acceptance that change is necessary, even if we weren't ready. I could feel your sadness over the loss of the elm and it just hurts my heart.
Your property is absolutely beautiful....looks like a peaceful oasis.
Beautiful! Thank you for the tour. I’m old enough to be your grandmother but I’m still learning especially different plants from you. This year I ordered and planted vertigo pennisetum and I can’t tell you how many people stop and ask me what it is because no one in our area has it and it is gorgeous 👍
I always enjoy the tours, I am in Au of the amount of plants, the experience you have with all you have planned. Thank you and Eraon. My hat is off to you both. Shirley Harvey Il.
I love that you have a great microphone there is never a problem with hearing you. I wish my container plants grew like yours of course the drought in Kentucky hasn't helped anything this year.
There’s ALWAYS GREAT VOLUME....I so APPRECIATE THAT. When I listen to others and it sounds like they’re mumbling, I turn away because it doesn’t make sense that you can’t hear them and my TV or my device is turned up.
Great job with the volume Laura/Aaron!
Girl! I’m in Kentucky and I feel your pain.
We always had 200 hens in our chicken house with a fenced in yard for them 10ft tall using fencing wire but then we put small hole wire all over that plus we dug down about 1 ft trench all around and 7 ft out from fence.

I did find beauty in the ashes :)
Love this! ❤️
The lavender on either side of the walk toward the back of your house are beautiful!
I have a cup of tea ready ☕ lets go full on garden tour!! 💖
Love this one. Those annuals are amazing. Next year.... More more more annuals. Bryan Lloyd here I come. Color color color
We had to have 4 huge pines taken down b.c of strong winds this year. I did cry, we planted them 33 years ago and were just beautiful but too close to house.
I play your videos in my living room on continuous play. My hubby asked me why one day he came home early. I told him it’s soothing and I love watching and learning. I’ve learned a few things I want in my garden. I can spot them on site even. I’m hopeful for when finally buy a house.

Cackleberry Garden's fan type & fabric suggestion are great tips!
Wow, mister hose, great idea!
Please don’t add misters. They increase the chance of hens getting coccidia. Perhaps it’s not a problem with desert heat but we have a problem with humidity & killler diseases.
A small baby pool with an inch of water might work.
Geez I wish I had a green thumb and the knowledge to build a beautiful garden like this.
Any garden tour you show is never too long, loved every minute of it. I feel like I am really there walking through the gardens with you and Aaron. Your love of gardening really shines through in your videos and that's what make it so special. Loved it. Can't wait to see what you have planned for next year. It does look really different without the tree but that is mother nature's way of creating new possibilities.
Jane, your comment just brought back a memory for me of times past when our entertainment used to be having friends and relatives drop by for a visit. Mother's flower and vegetable gardens were always tiptop and visitors would "meander" around the garden area and Mother would describe each plant and share cuttings. Laura shares her knowledge and skill in gardening with us but even more special is her love of plants and how she tries to give each plant the best life possible. That love and joy shines through.
What a beautiful memory, warmed my heart reading this.
I don't think the video was too long. There is so much to see that if I were able to tour it in person, it would take much longer. Thank you for sharing.
Nothing makes me happier than opening my UA-cam app and seeing a 54 minute video has been posted by Garden Answer! 🙌🥳❤️
Nicole Smith I agree. She’s so good at speaking I could probably watch her fold laundry for an hour 😂 There’s a young artist in Canada that does a live feed when he’s washing dishes and has lots of followers so I’m not all that crazy hahaha.
The young man’s UA-cam channel is under his name Joshua Alexander.
Debbie Moore Thank you!! 🤗
IM FROM THE UK AND I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I WAS A GARDENER FOR 60 YEARS BUT IM TO OLD TO GARDEN NOW IM FEMALE AND 84 YEARA OF AGE BUT PLEASE KEEP UP THE VIDEOS THEY ARE STUNNING
This was beautiful. Don’t worry about length. We all love it. Feeds our soul❤️
Don’t ever worry about a video being too long. We can always stop and finish later. It’s lovely to know we have so much gardening video to see. I often watch them over and over.
Laura, NEVER apologize for a long tour! I LIVE FOR THIS!
Wow Laura
You and Aaron have worked so hard and it’s all paying off. What a beautiful paradise you have. I think the white fence keeps a country affect. I liked the long video. It was exciting seeing all your hard work. You amaze me. I’m sure someday when God calls us all home, you and Arron will be gardening in Heaven. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾
Love your garden tours! I actually like to openness you have now from removing the elm. Don't be too sad, that view of the coop and the barn is BEAUTIFUL! We keep chickens here in the southern heat. We have no shade trees around their run either, but one part has a corrugated metal roof and a good section of their run is covered with trumpet vine that (at least here) grows like crazy. So maybe some sort of vine could be a temporary option. We do have a fan the circulates air in the coop but that's it. Sometimes we will also provide them with some water trays in the extreme heat so they can get their feet wet to cool off or we wet down the run.
It won't be long and they'll forget about the elm. I've removed about ten trees and have to struggle to remember where some of them were. Nice to not have elm seeds.
I love to watch your videos because they encourage me to work on my yard . I complain it’s big , but when I see yours I’m like I have nothing to complain about .
Russell is so adorable! I love seeing the beautiful flowers and Russell.
I love how Russell and Cheddar go on the garden tour too!
I think you could make a small pond in the back garden, and maybe do a small area near it where you could let the chickens out for the day, somewhere in shade (the willow could really help with that) plus the hens would be able to perhaps take a bath?
Never too long! Laura, your enthusiasm is wonderful and you have the best attitude about losing the trees and the opportunity this will bring. Aaron thank you for ending the video with gorgeous drone footage. It gives us great perspective of not only the garden but the changes and it’s beauty. 🍁🧡🍂
100% the Fence Fall was a sign/impetus to make a big change in that area. I recommend something open & welcoming. A huge arch with flower trellis, maybe. And three distinct, whimsical areas within the bigger space: one for you, one for Aaron and one for your son - and each of the three, enjoyable to all. Maybe a tunnel for your son. Maybe a chill-out "man cave" spot for Aaron. Maybe a lounge-y, "enjoy the garden spot" for you. I don't know you well enough to guess what you'd each like, but I can imagine a garden's version of a "Family Room."
Love love your garden update and how your cat kept following you. He’s the star⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wish I have a yard that big... and beautiful! Such relaxing videos, brings peace!
Unbelievable beauty ! Makes my eyes and heart happy - enjoyed every minute of this.
Thank you Laura for sharing your life and your garden. At 72 my strength and energy don’t keep up with my desire to get things done, so your videos are such a bright light in my day. Wonderful to see such a happy joy filled person always making things beautiful.
The forgotten area is the perfect spot for a large Hartley Botanic "Bespoke Victorian Lodge Greenhouse" and replace the fence with boxwoods with an english cottage garden on inside. We would love to see that Clint & Carrie ...Ps...Thanks for giving us the best garden shows on the web.
she loves plants is an understatement
Rewatched this video from two years ago...so many updates, changes and dreams fulfilled... Congratulations! Don't forget to revisit some of your past projects. I love to see your experiments and learn how to incorporate plants into my garden.
Trees you have to watch where you plant so not close to house or buildings. Beautiful gardens you know TO PLANT A GARDEN IS TO BELIEVE IN TOMORROW KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK . BEAUTIFUL HOME GAL
Me: "I'm having kind of a rough morning, I should sit down with a cup of coffee and see if Garden Answer has a new video today."
Laura and Aaron: "Here's a 54-minute garden tour!"
Me: "HALLELUJAH"
I soooooo feel the same!!!!! 😂😊😊😊....and I grasped at my chest with heartbreak at the footage of the tree being removed.....! I know they'll make it beautiful....but gosh, that tree was lovely
Exact same sentiment!
polkadottedpolak o my gosh me too. She is just so pleasant always!
😅
Hahahah me too 😘
Don't be sorry for a long garden tour ....you gave your subscribers what they wanted. Keep growing. 🌱
Your tours are never too long. I always enjoy seeing your beautiful gardens.
During the tour it feels like such a massive piece of property, overwhelming to think about managing… but then there comes the overview and… WOW! It’s still not a small place but it’s tighter than I realized and surrounds your home perfectly so that you can enjoy every directional view at any time of day. Thank you for sharing and keep the videos coming! Loving the transformation, LadyBrave
Laura: This video is getting long.
Me: Has garden answer on all day.
I know, right? They did a poll once and the results said overwhelmingly we wanted long tours.
Yup, no clue who shes apologizing to. She could spend 5 minutes on each plant and I'd be like... yup love it.
Same!! 😂
Same! Lol
I agree, love the long ones!! I enjoy seeing more of Laura's personal feelings being expressed in the longer videos. 💖👍🌿
At 37:00 what a fabulous view of your willow tree! It would be beautiful with a small pond with it
Gosh can’t believe how mature the gardens looking in just 3 years you guys have achieved so much already.Watch your videos every morning to keep me motivated for my garden and I’m learning so much from you so thank you 🌺🌹🌷🌸🌼🌻🍂🍁🌾🌴🌳🌲😍💕💕💕
Loved this tour! Russell has to be the funniest cat in the world...he hangs right with you step for step. I absolutely love how you love up on your plants. You can tell you love what you do and you do it well! 🥰
Oh your garden is glorious! In all its shapes and seasons and sizes. I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning and it’s wonderful to see not only your garden, but you and your family grow and change and get more beautiful every year. Thank you for sharing this with us. I have a small garden but I love it and you inspire me so much. Thank you!!!!!!!
You’re your was a wonder! Your yard is mammoth and beautiful. Such lovely areas. Your ability to talk for nearly and hour and remember the names of all your plants is amazing. You treat them all like they are your family. I know you love them like they are yours. You can tell you love your home and yard, and it is a joy to watch you show it off. Thank you for the great tour!! So fun!!
Love, love, love the long garden tours and so much to look forward to seeing next year with all the huge changes. I really like the idea of taking the fence down by the back formal garden especially after seeing the aerial views. That would make the space feel more inclusive to the rest of the yard instead of cut off. Excited to see what you decide to do in places where the big trees were taken out. I so look forward to winter for all the planning and dreaming about new projects and Spring!! Thanks Laura and Aaron!!!
I love Dahlia, petunia, roses, every flowering plants... I am from Philippines.
I love your garden tours they can never be too long I’ve recreated my garden from watching your videos and am really enjoying my garden now
Laura stop apologising for the length of the videos. They are never too long! 😂 I long the hayracks. It's so amazing seeing the overhead drone shots of how far they go, absolutely stunning. Love your garden. Thank you both for all the beauty you give us through your garden and yourselves.
Oh wow! Thank you for the fall garden tour. I loved every single minute of it. Your homestead is absolutely gorgeous spring, summer, fall and winter! Simply Stunning!!!!
You poor girl the amount of work you do is amazing gave yourself a break! Don’t worry about the veggies
This tour was so warm and inviting. Love the colours in your garden gives wonderful ideas. My fave was the cat weaving in and out.😻
Same! Sweet orange kitty!
Laura you're incredably talented and you've created such a wonderful wonderland of beauty, with such a sense of peacefulness, tranquility and a place of rest our busy minds. I can hear in your voice how much you love and care for each one of your plants. Thank you!
I'll be stopping by again real soon.........
The tours probably are long for you, but I have never felt that. I am sorry when they end. There is so much to learn from you and see in your beautiful garden. Plus, it feels like I am spending time with a friend.💜💕💚
Dont you just want to pull up a chair with coffee and take a seat in their garden?
Jennifer Mohler 👍 Yes it does.
I love that you celebrate your trees as well as your flowers. That willow is fantastic. I love the length of the video nice treat, never apologize for that 🤗.
You have an incredible yard! You’re an amazing gardener with a beautiful style! I’m just dumbfounded at your talent! Thank you for sharing your world with us.
Make the back area a play place for your son. I didn't see a swing set, sand box, etc anywhere. Its also a great place to kick ball, fly a kite, throw a Frisbee 👍😉
Heck, plant that lemon a-peal thunbergia to run over the coop. Or a hardy vine and bam, shade! 😀Also, your tours are never too long. You are wonderful Laura! You inspire me everyday! Thank you so much for all your hard work! ☺️🙌
There’s no emoji that can show how truly in AWE I AM!!!! A Feast for the eyes indeed! My fav was the vegetable garden the flowers just doing their thing ...looking like bed after bed of brilliant blooms and color....so so good! I could of watched this video go on and on and on...WELL DONE...PAT YOURSELVES ON THE BACK AND DROP THE MIC CAUSE TEAM GARDEN ANSWER DID IT AGAIN!💯😆😉🥰
When I got home from work I was delighted to see a garden tour awaiting me. Exactly what I wanted for my birthday, thank you! I couldn’t believe how emotional I got when you spoke of the life lesson losing the elm demonstrates. As you stated, we need change to grow and sometimes it’s forced upon us. How true. Thank you to both of you for the joy you bring to so many. Blessings-
We don’t mind long tours. We love them. Suggestions for the area where the edge of your barn is an English rose garden with trellis edging and benches. Or create a play area for Benjamin, with hills with underground tunnels and a bike track, climbing walls and swings and slides and a wooden castle fort , a sand pit that’s coverable so the cats don’t destroy his fun, with fruit trees, climbing frames, or alternatively a swimming pool for your family to enjoy.
SO sorry about my earlier comment. of course you didn't mean the saddest thing in life. I was just having a bad day in a long line of bad months so I got myself up and went outside and puttered...it always helps. and so does your channel thanks for a nice way to start my day!
Loved every second of the video but really appreciated why the gazebo walk view is so special to you, Laura. It's a beautiful view/ walkway. 💖🌿
This is so beautiful, like a proper English garden...I love it!
Your tours are never too long. Always love the view from above. 💝❤️❤️
