    I am not sure why but I LOVE watching the auger, especially when Aaron lifts it and reverse's the dirt. It is so FUN watching it spray out. I guess it's the little things in life, HA! 🥰

      Hi~ As soon as I saw them near the tree going in with their shovels, I thought... What fun memories they'll have looking back after the trees have matured. However, Benjamin's excitement for underwater swimming with the fam may be a stronger memory! So cute!🙋

      What the 4h kids did for the chickens and rabbits during our county fair - 1st week of August - was fill 2 liter soda bottle with water and freeze them, and rotate out the thawed ones for fresh frozen ones. It helped a lot, and you would see the animals cuddling up against the bottles. The fair building would also run misters during the day, but the kids brought the frozen bottles.

    I love watching your videos and looking forward to meeting you next week in Chicago! I'm from Houston, TX, zone 9, and wish I could grow some of the many different beautiful plants you grow in lower zones. My sons and I visited aquascape in February '22 and took a class in pond building. We came back to TX and built my pond. Your appearance for the pond tour has given me the perfect opportunity to visit aquascape again to see the pond and facility when it's not frozen! I've created a paradise in my backyard, so I don't want to leave for long but figure a 4 day trip to see more beautiful ponds and meet you and Aaron in Chicago will be a real treat!

    Crossing my fingers that the extremely warm weather and time spent in the studio inspires a succulent arrangement, fairy garden, or terrarium. I’ve always loved all the little projects you find to do some indoor gardening on the hot summer days not fit for the gardener. It makes for a nice little oasis of calm and cool in the midst of the busy season. 🍄🦔🌵

My garden shuts down june 1st and I'm in maintenance mode til mid September because I just cannot be outside more than 2 hours and that's pushing it. At this point I feel sorry for the poor plants having to stay out there in this heat.

    Mars (South Garden) is looking unbelievable. It's a bit like an artist who starts with a blank canvas - it is a slow building of colour and texture, with each stroke of the paint the idea develops but changes depending on what happens with the paint. I think the South garden development has been so quick!! and as you video in that area is becoming a backdrop to your projects. Loving all of it and just always excited to watch the development of your beautiful space. Love how the tree planting is a family affair- precious memories. Thank you again for all the effort you put into making your channel - much appreciated.

    I would love to know what “dry heat” feels like. Our humidity is almost impossible this year. Some days you feel like you can’t breathe. No way can we plant anything right now, it would take 2 holes, 1 for the plant, and 1 for the gardener!

      Agreed! What does it feel like??
      I’m in Ontario, Canada with 60, 70, 90% humidity in the forecast.
      My friend in Colorado told me today they have 11%. Said it feels like your nose hairs get scorched 😂

      @@alekgust It feels like opening your hot oven, except all over your body, not just your face. 😏 It is easier to cool off in the shade when it’s dry heat, and you sure don’t sweat as much, but it’s still HOT.

      I grew up around where she is in eastern Oregon, and I now live in the humid Maine coast. Its 60% humidity on average, but I’ve also experienced Hawaii at about 70-80% humidity… I prefer the humidity. Probably because I have extremely dry skin, so anytime I went outside in the summer as a kid my skin was practically falling off my face (especially in wildfire season when the air quality was bad, and we also felt like we couldn’t breathe).
      However, humidity comes with more bugs, and it tends to intensify any unpleasant smells lingering nearby, so if I had normal skin I would probably not mind going back home to the desert.

    That sedum would look great with a contrasting thyme in front. Lime, variagated lemon, foxley with the white sparkles...
