    My 5 year old daughter is watching with me this morning and wanted to help teach Benjamin how to plant. She said he’s gotta tickle the roots more to wake them up 😄 that’s her “special trick”! ❤

    EVERYONE LIKE SO LAURA READS THIS! GREAT IDEA! Have your mom take a picture from same standing location, same angle, same flower pot everyday she is downtown at work! Then at end of season (or even during like monthly maybe) do sped up clip of all pictures all edited together showing the growth of the plants!
    WOULD BE SO COOL! LOVE YOU ALL!

    Hi Laura and Aaron! It was nice seeing you helping your Mom with the city pots. It's always a joy to see her in the videos. I like the Americana theme your Mom chose for the pots, and of course, the purple fountain grass. They'll be so pretty once they fill in. It was fun seeing Benjamin helping, too. Thank you so much for sharing!

    Flowers make all the difference! Great job. My church was just gifted an old church building that could use some loving. I think I will do something like this to help it out :).

    Great video! I love the pots in the city. I love how Benjamin helped you planting the peppers.

    Would love to have an overview of that water tank setup! So ingenious. I take care of several beds in my community and have to hand water…this would be awesome to have, even if we’re a smaller version…and no Biotone/fertilizer?

      The soil looked fluffy rather than root bound so maybe the soil was prepared prior too filming? I was wondering the same thing.
