My daughter calls bulbs “lightbulbs” and as they have been blooming lately, she’ll say “look mommy, the lightbulbs we planted are blooming!” I love it 🥰
aww🌸🌷❤
Do very sweet. 🥰
cuteeee 😅
That’s one of those things you just go with and enjoy. I love it 🥰.
Be sure to write down the precious little words they come up with on their own. It’s fun to read later and you forget so much! 💡🌷
The siding on the garden shed looks beautiful! Samantha running from you and Benjamin in his shades was the best part!!! Have a great weekend!
I love how that sage green and natural wood trim looks!
Oh Samantha reminds me of when my youngest was that small eating every leaf he found. Love that she was running from you with her one shoulder up as if you couldn’t catch her! 😆
Have you got plans for a cherry or two ? I’m wracking my brain to remember if there is a cherry maybe somewhere else besides the orchard. As a kid, we had a big old bing cherry. My dad taught me tree climbing on that old tree when I was no bigger than Benjamin.
Thank you for the bonus ( extra) videos this week. It has not escaped my notice that here’s a Saturday video, and there was the one from Aaron working on the driveway in highlights. Thank you!🙏💚💚💚
She doesn’t. I remember her explaining once why but I don’t remember exactly. Disease and ease of getting fresh cherries in her area maybe?
@@lindawitkamp4653 you are probably right. I’m from that area, and cherries are grown in abundance.
I wonder is she worries about wasps nest being built of that shed due to all the sweet fruit trees near by!!!!!
@@snowangel1066 They're country people that are not scared of Black Widows and snakes. I somehow doubt wasps would worry them hugely. With her bird population that she feeds every winter i doubt a nest would be an issue anyways. But if it happens it can usually be removed easily.
The flower shed is coming along. I love the color of the siding.
I do too! 😘😘😘
YAY! A Saturday with Laura and her family and my coffee makes for the perfect start to my weekend! Thank you so much for all the inspiration and knowledge. Btw I LOVE the garden center videos. Your mom and sister are a hoot! 🤣😂
Laura and Aaron! Your pruning explanations and the close ups were so helpful for a visual learner like me! Tree pruning has always been intimidating and this has made me more at ease with the pruning process. So grateful for you and this channel!
The wealth of knowledge gained from both Laura and Aaron is phenomenal and priceless. I used to be very intimidated, until I watch their videos. Now, I prune like a boss. 🤣 not only my fruit trees, practically everything in the garden. Wishing you the best gardening season ever, blessings.
Your garden shed is so perfect that colour. I literally have had the worst winter of my life, but the thought of your orchard keeps me happy. The bulbs are going to be beautiful.
I love winter but my love for gardening, I guess, is stronger because I spent the whole winter wishing for spring and summer! Lol! Love the bonus Saturday and Highlights videos! Made my morning sweeter!
So sorry, you had a bad winter. Laura always makes all of us so much happier She's always so upbeat and exciting about her plants, trees , garden she loves all the stuff she plants. Spring always makes me feel better.🙏❤️🙏
Wishing you a beautiful spring and summer Karen! 💐
Your garden shed looks beautiful! Very appreciative of the pruning lesson. I learned a couple of things that I can use on non- fruit trees. Such as when you have a long branch that is interfering with another, you don't have to take off the whole branch. Come down to a bud that is heading in the direction you want and cut there. The other is the different shapes and ways of pruning the leader. Thank you Laura. I have and continue to so much from you 💓
Everything is looking absolutely beautiful in your orchard! Can't wait to see it in it's 'Spring glory'! I always look forward to seeing a little cameo appearance from Benjamin and Samantha Grace too! 🌷🌷🌷
Well the baby was making a break for it...that's really all I need to see today 🤣😊
Roflol! Hahaha, did you know that the fastest land animal ever known to exist is a toddler when asked what do you have in your mouth! 😆 🤣 😂. So true!
The orchard is looking beautiful!! And your flower shed is gorgeous!!!! Gonna be a great season! 💕☀️🌱🍑🍎🍐
Looking forward to seeing Samantha Grace and Benjamin try all of the delicious treats around the garden this season!
Great surprise, Saturday video and with the kids too. So funny Samantha Grace on the move!❤ she is at that age where everything needs to be tasted and Benjamin needs to help you build!! Now I am starting my day with a smile. Hug from N.C..
Samantha Grace immune system will be wonderful . 👏😃 and she will be climbing those trees to eat all the fruit .
WhooooWeee! Now that is what you call a tricked out shed! It is gorgeous Laura...I actually love the soft green color! Such great taste!
I like pruning apple trees in the open vase method. I feel like apple trees need a lot of care like spraying, pruning and when I need to thin out the amount of apple's in a bunch so they grow bigger and the open vase method makes it easier to reach all of the branches. Plus it's easier to harvest when the branches are lower. I also like how the branches stretch out like an umbrella. It's a pretty shape to me. It's very beautiful in a mature tree
I am loving the cut flower shed!!! It looks so darling. Anyone else secretly hope she switches to calling it "Orchard House" as a nod to Louisa May Alcott and Little Women?
"Samantha, did you put bark in your mouth?! Come here, come here, come here, come here, ha, ha, ha, you give it to me, give it, give it - gross, it was just a leaf. You want to eat all the things don’t you?!”
You’re such a good Mama, Laura!
Whew, at least it wasn’t a baby slug like our middle son ate when he was the same age as Samantha! 😅💜
This was such a good video!! The tree transformations were amazing! The flower shed is cute beyond all! And little Samantha running to keep her leaf prize was adorable! Benjamin is going to be a builder for sure! You and Aaron truly are blessed with the best life ever! 😊😊💜
Good morning. My tulips 🌷 are up and beautiful.
Wonderful 🌷
Greetings, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
What a wonderful Eye 👁 treat
for us all. We are a month ahead on Amaryllis blooming. And we are planting Juicy Fruit Island in our backyard. We have to find low chill hours. We won't have 600 hours, ever!
Happy Gardening and Vermicomposting Day Everyone 💚
To own land is golden!
It’s so exciting to see the bulbs blooming! I bet that will be a beautiful show of color. If I had to trim fruit trees I would hold my breath every time I made a cut. I wish I had the confidence and knowledge you have. I do have to say by watching your videos I have gained a little more confidence and a lot more knowledge about gardening. I love your spirit and enthusiasm. I soak every bit of it up!
OKAYYY SO THE LITTLE ONE PUTTING THE BARK IN HER MOUTH AND THEN RUNNING AWAY was worth the whole video. So cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love starting my Saturday with Laura and the kids. Very exciting see the orchard.
Awesome! I pruned all of my trees regularly and it helps when there is a wind storm or ice storm. One year there was a big ice storm and people were complaining of fallen and broken branches and I had no fallen or broken branches in my garden. The trees also have a great shape when they are pruned. Pruning takes a lot of time but it's so worth it.
Love the color of the shed! Imagine with black shutters to tie in the fence! Everything is looking beautiful!
Is it weird to be hanging on her every word about pruning when I don't have any trees of my own? 🤔🤗💚
YES! I was thankful for the reminder of where to prune for the first direction of growth as she also mentioned this during rose pruning but I couldn't remember!
Same for me, none of my own but just want the knowledge (enough to talk to others and say oh go watch Laura, she will help you!!)
Not at all! Love watching her do this every year.
No, I watch all these seed and bulb videos even though I have no interest in either of those things. She's just entertaining!
😂 Same here!! I live in an apartment!! Last year I did have a Meyer lemon tree that was in a container. Would have liked to have that information then. 😬
Loving this Saturday treat until the busy season! Lovely to see the little ones.
Your orchard will be a joy for your family for years to come! Nice to see Samantha Grace toddling around. So beautiful! Benjamin is his helpful self and is a delight, too!
Good morning! Love the orchard & the potting shed looks so cute. The kids are growing so fast!
so exciting and can’t wait to see the bulb blooming... i planted more than 2000 bulb last fall
I am in zone 10, La Mesa, Ca. After living with our apricot tree for 30+ years we decided to cut it down. It had a very large hole in the bottom at least 12" high by 6" wide. Every year it bore fruit but then it got ants eating at the hole. We decided to cut it down.it's just one more tree taking water.
I am envious of people with well water . We had to cut down 8 of our avocado trees, the macadamia nut tree, and a loquate tree. We are down to 4 orange trees and 8 avocados. I use a lot of succulents now and a small amount of miscellaneous what my husband thinks of as phew-phew plants. 5 roses lots of geraniums, including 2 that I started from seeds from Nashville. Also gladiolus and since watching you I started 5 dahlias.
Thank you for teaching me more than I can ever retain in just the last 6 months or so that I've been watching. I start every morning with you and your sweet family.😊❤😊
pruning fruit trees is very similar to pruning roses, isn't it? this was such good info! and look at all those BULBS coming up!! that's going to be spectacular... love the kids - that Samantha is a busy girl! love how she runs when momma knows she's put something in her mouth, hahaha... so many projects going on and by the end of the season you can look back on things and see how far you've come!!! so much fun; thanks for taking us along!! it's so exciting!! 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video!! 🙂 ❤
Hey Laura! Thanks for the pruning tips. I am picking up a peach tree next week and now I know how to prune it! Can't wait :)
I 💜the COLOR of the shed as is.... Compliments the rest of the colors of the grounds(fence and arbors, pots), I think it looks GREAT!
I agree i think that color makes green and chartreuse foliage pop and pinks and dark reds look pretty with it as well. I plan on painting my garage a blue green gray this year.
Thanks for the vid! Been fighting scale on 2 story tall lilacs. Last year, it seemed like we finally got the upper hand! A lady and her little girl brought a bucket to them door last year, asking if they could buy some lilacs. I said no, and her face fell a foot. I continued, but you can sure HAVE some! We filled her bucket, and i gave her another bucketload for her Mom! That's the fun of flowers, fruit and veggie gardening- sharing! The shed looks great- anxious to see the chandelier hung soon! 🌳🌸🌱🍎
I miss living in high desert and enjoying the amazing blue skies!!
Great demonstration Laura, can’t get enough of these pruning videos. My dilemma is I have two combination fruit trees, pear and apple and I am afraid to prune too much off of one variety. I will give it a try though because I had a lot last year but they were small so time to prune! Thanks for the jolt of confidence!
Your little ones are very cute! Nice to see how to prune trees. Thanks Everything looking so nice.
Thank you and how are you going this lovely day /afternoon
Hi all, I’m so glad that the bulbs are coming up. I hope all 1800 come up for you.
The shed looks fantastic as it starts to come together. Shame it had kankers. Glad you can get your hands on a couple of new ones in. I hope they are as nice as you hope they are.
Beautiful pruning job an those trees.
Hi Laura! Can you please show us how you prune your espalier pear tree? I have one myself and I'm so confused as to how/what/when to prune to keep its shape and encourage it to fruit. Thanks!!
Love how Benjamin takes a look at the ground before he steps in!
Love those baby trees..
And those beautiful babies running around playing. I feel blessed just as an observer.
Thank you, Laura and Aaron
Hi Laura
Do you ever force your prunings to bloom indoors? Would love to see that process🌸💗
ua-cam.com/video/8ALOrDBMpQs/v-deo.html here it is.
Great idea!! I as well would love to learn that!!
The babies are so sweet and you are an amazing mother. The fruit trees look great and the shed is beautiful. Can't wait to see the bulbs in full bloom.
Got up this morning thinking no Laura with my coffee and here you are. ❤️
Love that color on the shead siding, looks awesome with windows and doors and black fencing in the back. Is there a consern with canker infecting the new tree with it being planted at the same spot as diseased one?
I was wondering that same thing…
Me too. I wondered about planting in the same spot as the tree that was diseased. Of course you know about these things whereas I don't.
I’m fairly certain the bacteria doesn’t survive in soil. Should be fine 🌳
Ready for Spring!!!!
LOOK at the cut flower shed! I know you're going to paint, but I love that color!
A Saturday video! What a treat!!!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day
Samantha was so cute. LOL. I need to prune my plum trees too. Santa Rosa!
Lol Samantha grace is fast now! Loved seeing the kiddos 😃
That's a lovely green on the flower shed
Love your flower shed!! You work so hard and God has truly blessed you and Aaron!
I think you should do a pumpkin tunnel for the kids. Not like you don't have enough to do lol. I love your excitement and I am thankful for these pruning videos as these kinds of things are hard to do.
Laura sprays her fruit trees and fertilizes and I run out and do the same. Laura prunes fruit trees, now I will be going out after the rain is done and pruning my fruit trees. Seems I’ve developed a pattern now. I also planted two new fruit trees last week. She has helped me so much at taking better care of my trees and plants. Such a blessing!
Loving that Flower Shed
Haha Samantha is just months older than my daughter, Nova. Nova crawls away with leaves in her mouth and I have to fish them out for now. How cute are they 🥰
You can take those branches inside, put them in water, and they should bloom for you!
I am so inspired! watching this week's videos and it gets me all excited about my garden as I garden alongside Laura. Thank you Garden Answer! After 20 years of neglecting my garden, I got a deer fence and got working. Then, I found Garden Answer last September and BOOM, my garden is on its way to beauty.. I have planted close to 250 bulbs including Fresias and Crocosmia Lucifer, glads, hicints, all kinds of Daffodils and tulips EVERYWHERE!! HAHA ...Also I had seen this one grass I didn't know the name, Laura showed it in a video and it's my favourite, I got five!! "We'll see" 🥰
Yup you guessed it! Hackonachloa!! A thing of beauty!
Another informative video…good too see the flowers coming up 🌳
Literally gasped when I saw the cut flowers shed!😍❤️🏡 stunning!!!
Thank you, Laura for showing how to properly prune fruit trees. I’ll give it a try on my trees. Your kids are adorable! 🤗
I absolutely love the color combo of the shed!!! (Even though it may change!) I really appreciate the lesson on pruning fruit trees. I’m thinking of getting a few! Spring is tomorrow! Yay🌳🌿🌸🌷👍
Thank you for a great tree pruning lesson!
Good morning everyone 🌻 🏵 🌱🌱🦋🦋🐞🐞☕🌅
You guys are amazing!!! Look look at Samantha Grace she is so so cute. Many blessings
The shed is beautiful. It made me smile behind you. 😊
A friend gave me a couple winter aconite about 12 years ago. I planted them and watched with anticipation every March as they are one of my first bloomers. Well I now have hundreds and they are all in full bloom. Wish you could see them
Laura it is a pretty color the flower shed.🌷
Looking at your soil shows what a amazing gardener you are, it looks like it would be impossible to get anything to grow. Then we see what you produce each year and it’s glorious.
I love the color of the Flower Shed it gives it a cottage garden feel.
Yep spring is coming ❗️
Just saw Monty Don call it "Goblet" shaped for fruit tree pruning.
As kids dad always said what we could reach was for us. What nature put on ground was for the livestock/chickens and what's too talks for birds n insects
Chill hours are hours when you have temperatures between 34 and 45 degrees F. (1-7 C.) And temperatures that are cooler do not count. It's easy to look up a map for your area too to see the chill hours for your area.
Aaron and Laura, thank you for all your hard work to create these videos. They bring such joy! God Bless!
Great color on shed.
Laura with your dormer on the flower shed not finished did you ever think about opening the roof there to let some natural light in? Just a thought. Thank you for the refresher pruining class. Hugs to the kids. Take care everyone
They will be filming in the shed and want to control lighting, not add problems.
🍐🍎🍑🫐🍓Yum! Y’all are gonna have so much fun eating all the delicious fruits! I love your flower shed. It’s just beautiful sitting out there. Pretty views from it. I can only dream of having a shed like that. Can’t wait to see all the pretty arrangements you will create in it. Hugs! 💕☀️🪴🦋🐝
Laura, Thanks for the demonstration of trimming trees. So helpful to watch you do it. Wouldn’t the flower cottage look so wonderful in yellow? It would look so good against the black fence. Can’t wait to see what you decide. Happy Spring‼️
I have alway wondered how you prune fruit trees. Thank you. It was so much fun to see your babies. They are growing so much. 🌷🐰
The garden shed is already so cute! Your pruning methods were so helpful! But Samantha Grace and her little (I should say big) personality are so adorable! She has so much personality for a child her age! You weren’t going to get her with that shoulder hunched up! 😂 The video you had posted with her foot stomping like Benjamin, that was adorable. She is feisty!
Also remember, God made dirt and it don’t hurt! 😂 something we used to say when our kids were little.
Excellent tutorial, so well explained and you got the shots perfect for seeing what you were doing 💚🦚🌷
I may be weird but I love pruning! I even prune friends trees for them. It's just relaxing and so satisfying!
I really enjoyed your video and your love your cut flower 🌹 🌺 🌸 shed . We live in Georgia now but I was born and grew up in Indiana and I participated in 4H all of my life. My dad and I planted fruit trees near our lake but it took forever for fruit. My dad was raised on a farm , My mom and I really love your channel I know my dad would have too . Thank You for all of your sharing and hard work my mom and I love 💕 your channel and your family togetherness. Thank You 😊.
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Good morning, hope you have a great weekend 😊
Saturday episode! 👏🏻🤗 I absolutely can’t wait to see Al those bulbs blooming! And I think I need a flower shed. 🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Samantha is going to be sooooo, much fun!!! Thanks Samantha for making my day!
Thank you Laura for this great video, certainly cleared up a lot of my pruning questions 🌟
Yes, helpful! Thank you!
Great information! I don't have any fruit trees but use these tips when pruning other shrubs and find myself saying "buh bye" when I snip off a branch that interferes with others or with me when I'm mowing 😄Thanks for the bonus videos this week Laura and Aaron. Have a great week everyone!
Hi Laura and Aaron! Very interesting and informative video. Seeing the kids is always a bonus! I like the shed the color it is now. If you have to paint something, maybe just paint the trims black to match the fences, etc. Thank you so much for sharing!
