We decorate the gates seasonally and it is usually with things from garden, corn stalks, cedar branches etc. You will love this addition.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, use reflectors for nighttime, especially winter. Think black gates at night are sometimes not seen until it is too late. They get crashed a lot around my way in NJ, and usually by delivery vehicles that come roaring up. Stategically placed reflectors and reflectors tape is everything. Your gates are beautiful, 🥰😍 and thank you for all you do.

    Love the idea of a gate. It does add some protection for the kids. They’re getting more active and it’s just going to be nice knowing that there’s less traffic for them to watch out for. Kids get excited playing their games and sometimes forget to look. When it’s finished, it’s going to look so good. I love it.

    Did the Saran Wrap without sulfur for the first time last winter 90% of the tubers survived. My bundles were about 2-3 times as big a as Laura’s. I am in zone 6a and stored them in a Rubbermaid storage bin with a lid in an attached unheated garage. I put a layer of newspapers between the bundles of tubers and at the top. I spritzed the top layer of newspaper to slightly moist and not wet once a month. Sooo easy.

      @ Thank you! Totally agree y’all need voting reform that’s not right! But since they’re trying to get all the other illegals to vote from the border if you say you’ll vote for the dems I’m sure they will fly you right over LOL!

    Little kids don’t get cold like us adults. My boys ran around without a coat all the time.. I love your new gate it’s so beautiful. My new place is gated and has the most beautiful pillars. I love having a gated for so many reasons. I hope you guys do another video showing our gardens. Of course I don’t have gardens right now, but give me three years. 🙏❤️😮🌻🌻🌻

    Love love the gate! I’ve been watching you guys for years. Your property is really coming together! And then I look at mine and it feels like I’ve stopped. I guess with prices being so high on everything, I just kinda quit. But now, your videos make me think, I just need to keep going. Landscaping gives me joy and fills my heart! So, I’m currently going through estimates on an 30 ft long x 7 foot wide iron bridge to replace the old wooden bridge. Plus, I’ve had a very old wrought iron gazebo lying in pieces that I bought off Facebook marketplace years ago. I’m getting estimates to repair and powder coat that too! I’m back on that horse!!❤

    You have those 2 giant, square, black planters you could use next to the gate for time being to stop people driving around the gate till you decide on something more permanent

    The gate and the surrounding area looks fabulous! It will give you more of a sense of privacy as well. The idea of having a "locker" for UPS, (etc) is such a great idea. So happy for you guys!!

    The year that I used this dahlia storage method I didn’t lose a single tuber. I stopped doing it because I like to grow from smaller clumps rather than single tubers, but other than that caveat it’s a great method.

    I’ve commented and said this before, I’m on the boat that you should definitely put a waterfall by your gate entrance. To many plants at the gate would make it messy feeling.
    I hope you go with it, it would be grand and match the feel the rest of the property has transformed into.
    Also I’m on board with Aaron to have a pool by your basketball court. Laura, After seeing your visit to Chicago at the gals property who gifted you the fish statues (which you loved ;)
    It solidify Arons point! How dramatic and elegant a pool like hers with fire and seating would be at your home 😮
    Like hers you could make it flow seamless with the rest of the garden and be spectacular.
    Both would add Much needed structure to your garden that it’s lacking and be beautiful in the winter! ❤
