    I really love that you see beauty in all the shapes and textures of various evergreens. I have always been pretty narrow in what I like, which is typically Christmas tree shapes. You have opened up my mind to appreciating lots of other types of evergreens. Thank you!

    What a Monday treat! So peaceful. You really make my week. That South Garden has evolved so much in such a short time. Whenever you have a chance you should put a before and after pictures or videos . I am sure we will all be amazed by the change. Thanks guys! (The music was really good).

      I noticed it too. The compost mulch has contributed hugely to improving the soil structure. Must be immensely satisfying when preparing to transplant. The biotone is also probably working its magic creating a beneficial symbiotic relationship as the gardens’ roots establish.
      I wonder if Laura is noticing a build up of mycelia when prepping for transplant… it really is a joy to witness their property’s transformation.

I get my one cup of coffee for the day & claim my favorite seat on the deck or our living room & settle in to watch your video. My husband calls you my garden girl, he wouldn’t know you by sight but definitely knows your voice.😉

What do you think about a flagstone medallion or mosaic of the Garden Answer logo with a large birdbath in the middle so it doesn't obstruct the view? Maybe something like the tall, slender planter at the side of your house with the white plants in it? Thank you for inspiring me every day!
