@@debrascott8775 I'm in zone 7B north of Atlanta. I've ordered many trees from them and have never lost one. I ordered two American maples last summer and they've put on a tremendous amount of growth :)
@@d.wilbur5164 I considered ordering too, but have stuck with Home Depot only because it was easier at the moment. I’ve been very pleased to have the Fast Growing Trees boxes & trees arrive thru Home Depot! ❤
I'm beyond thrilled that you made and enjoyed my marinara sauce, Laura, and thanks so much for linking to my recipe! ❤ As a fellow gardener and landscaping hobbyist I'm equally glad to have found your channel and look forward to following! ❤
I’m so glad I read your comment! I made your recipe yesterday and it was absolutely amazing 👏🏻!! My first try ever, making fresh homemade marinara 💃🏼 I didn’t have enough tomatoes so I adjusted, then froze 2 cup portions. Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous recipe ❤
I made your recipe last year because of her video shout-out and it was the best sauce I ever made. I am literally processing tomatoes right this minute to make this years batch! 😅
Good morning, Laura ☕️ I love the beginning of this video with the natural sounds like hearing Samantha Grace squealing with excitement in the background. Good luck with those Avocado 🥑 trees! If anyone can get them to grow, my money is on you! Have a Blessed Day. 😊🐈
I love Fast growing trees. I've found that patio means you can plant in containers and put them outside in summer but bring in for winter. Whereas outside zones mean you can plant directly into the ground. So you did exactly what they intended for your zone. I can't wait to see what happens with your avocado!
I live in San Diego and avocado farms are in our inland valley areas where the humidity is a bit higher than Organ dry desert but it’s not usually humid at all here. Inland areas hover around 15%- 35% humidity regularly. The trees usually planted on slopes to better keep the trees warm from winter frost. I feel like the cold is a bigger issue than the humidity.
@@susanchapmansuzow2929 some varieties do need a male and female near each other to produce fruit. We have people growing so many in their yards that we almost don’t think about getting a pair for pollination. Lucky for Laura, the Haas variety is self pollinating.
Aaron & Laura, My wife and I live about 30 miles down the road from Ontario so our climate and weather are comparable. We have a new home with a backyard much like your sister Monika has "Moondust". After sod we bought 13 Thuja Green Giants from Fast Growing Trees. We ordered 4-5 ft because there was no shipping charge. We just lost one out of 13 however, the representative at Fast Growing Trees had me text them a photo of the troubled tree. They replaced my tree (No charge, No Shipping) they even factored in the growth of the other 12 trees and sent me a new tree that was about 65 inches tall so it fit right in with the rest. I give them high marks. Most of the remaining new plants in our new garden came from "Andrews Seed". What a great place to shop for garden needs, we LOVE it.
I've bought from fast growing trees more than once. Everything has been wonderful. I bought a dwarf blue spruce five years ago and it is just beautiful now ❤
I LOVED to see Samantha rocking her Mama's style with her leopard print sneakers!!! Such a great video, all around. Can't wait to see the avocado's progress!!!!
Loved seeing Samantha in the garden and then hiding behind the curtain. You have so many tomatoes!!! I can see more marinara sauce in your future. Loved the video. If anyone can get the trees to flourish it will be you.
In regards to your comment on the last recap, and seeing the fertilizer bags in this video, I got used 5 gallon pickle buckets from Firehouse Subs for all my fertilizers and put measuring scoops in each. WAY better than dealing with the bags! I printed and laminated the info sheets from Espoma for each fertilizer and taped them to the corresponding bucket with packing tape. They stack in my garden shed and I can tote them around easily. 😊 I'm definitely team bucket
Laura, if you have a kitchenaid mixer, you can get an attachment that strains tomatoes, apples, etc. It purees the fruit down one chute and has a separate chute to discard the skins, seeds and cores. You just cut the raw tomatoes or apples into quarters and feed them down the chute. Put a pot under the chute and it's ready to cook. It's a game changer!
My grandparents lived in Compton, California from the early 40's to the late 70's. Grandpa had been a farmer in South Dakota until the depression when he lost everything. The family moved to Compton in the early 40's. Grandpa grew a glorious garden and had many fruit trees. He grew a Haas Avocado tree that was taller than the house. It had a huge canopy and produced hundreds of avocados every year. I remember him using the fallen leaves as mulch around the base of the tree. He also grew grapes, lemons, guavas, and the best plums I have ever eaten. He would visit a local machine shop and get the iron shavings to put around the fruit trees. I'm not sure he did it around the avocado tree. Compton is in Zone 10b. Avocados grew well in that area. Hot during the summer and not too cold in the winter. Ahhh, good memories. Oh and one other thing, we lived in Torrance, California about 3 miles from the beach. My dad tried planting an Avocado tree but it didn't make it. I think the soil was too sandy. Grampa's place had more of a clay soil that actually looked a lot like yours there in Oregon. Good luck and best wishes.
I have an avocado tree in my living room that’s about ten years old. It’s sentimental for me. My husband liked to see what he could get to grow, and one day an avocado we bought had a huge pit. So, he planted it. But two years later he died from cancer at 38 😞 (and I was a widow at 31 with two littles). Today, that tree is one of a few trees he planted that I have nurtured (including an oak tree in the front yard) and I enjoy them and their memories. And the Lord has provided another wonderful man and two more children. ❤️
What a fun day I love watching you cook from harvesting your tomatoes if everyone’s life would be like that it would be awesome and getting the onions and lastly cooling your feet in the pond. What a Wonderful Life! ❤
I just saw that you guys are almost at 2 million subscribers and it made me so happy. You are such a positive space on this app and I’m so happy for all of your success 🤍
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida 9b 🇺🇸 🥑 I think you'll do great with your Avocado trees 🥑 Your pasta looked yummy 😋 And your family vacation at the shore looked 👍 great 👍 Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍 ❤Peggy❤
Fast Growing Trees is awesome. Their trees and plants are always so healthy and thriving. That sauce looks amazing! Wish our oppressive heat here in DFW area of Texas hadn't destroyed most of my tomato plants. Speaking of -- what type of tomatoes are growing in your greenhouse looks like in a Greenstalk? And wow! That squash plant growing up through the gravel and landscape fabric is pretty amazing. I'm sure all your amending and the fact that your property used to be a sheep farm may have blessed the land with a lot of wonderful nutrients that help you always have a bounty of garden blessings.
First of all, that was ridiculously cute of Samantha Grace popping out from behind the curtain! I absolutely love it! For the avocado, they prefer similar conditions to citrus, in general. But the main thing with avocados is needing to protect their trunks from the intense sun. They have sensitive trunks, so they can easily burn and split. There’s a 50/50 latex water paint you can put on their trunks in the spring time that will protect their trunks. But with time, the leaves should shade out the trunk. These trees don’t take well to a hard pruning. I’m part of a Facebook group called, Southern California Backyard Avocado Growers. I’m not sure if there’s for Oregon. But there’s a lot of information in this group that would help you get your basics! I’ve learned so much from this group!
Your vacation videos looked like a great family time! Love seeing the kids so happy playing in the sand, brings back memories of my own kids 💕. Can’t wait to see how the avocado trees do. I need to start making my own sauce-so easy to rely on store bought lol. 😊
Hi Laura. Just so you are aware, I would not add the olive oil to your marinara if you are canning it. It can make your sauce go rancid. I would wait until you use your sauce to add the olive oil.
I love when you include cooking in your videos. Looked so good. Would love to see regular cooking videos. I've been looking into the fast growing trees site. Hope your trees do well.
I just love the sound of opening a bag of potting soil - the sound the bag makes, the sound the fluffy soil makes as it's poured into the container♥♥♥ It's the little things 🙃
I've ordered several trees over the years from Fast Growing Trees. All are doing great! Peach, Apricot, Meyer Lemon and two Columnar Apples. Plus a gorgeous Hydrangea tree. Their customer service is really helpful, we had to have the Apricot replaced, no problems.
That’s great to hear, I bought a peach from them and it’s dying and I didn’t know they replaced them. Maybe peach curl. I’ve tried copper spray and it’s not helping.
@@kmsch986 I don't know how long the guarantee is. The Apricot was replaced quickly, but they do have a guarantee period. Also they are quite willing to work with you to solve the problem with your trees.
Love Fast Growing Trees! My 4-in-1 pear tree came from there and it is doing wonderful. Gotta tell them to lay them flat so they don't stand them on their heads.
I’ve bought from Fast Growing Trees multiple times and had good luck. With one tree that just didn’t make it, they were gracious enough to replace it and it’s loving life now.
That was a great video, thank you! Samantha's "yuk!" was SO cute! And the recipe for the marinara sauce looked delicious! Good luck with the avocado trees!
The sauce recipe is divine!! I went back yesterday and made it.. it was doubly delicious tonight! Thanks Laura! I love it when you share your cooking with us! Soooooooo good!!!🎉
Hi Laura, Congrats on your avocado trees. I have several varieties. Some in ground right now and some in pots. I'm in California. I have Joey, Fantastic, Bacon and Mexicola which are cold hardy. I would guess your smaller one is a Wurtz/Little Cado, which is a dwarf variety. They like plenty of water in good draining, a regular fertilizer schedule and mulch. My lowest temps in the winter can be around 20ish degrees just once in a while. I would suggest leaving them in your greenhouse (maybe permanently), especially the Hass. You have to protect them from the sun while the trunk and branches are green. They sunburn easily. They don't really like wind either. Leave the leaf litter on the ground as mulch.
I found great joy seeing you and Samantha Grace in the garden, and what a harvest of tomatoes! Praise the Lord! You and your family are such a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing.
The abundance of your gardens makes me smile and gives me hope that I can do that too! Could you show us the progress of the green stalks that were in the background in the greenhouse. It looks amazing. Keeping my fingers crossed for the avocado.
Had to chuckle about the avocado trees. I remember the video when Aaron asked about growing them. I had a sneaking suspicion that Laura would have them in her future. What a lovely mix in this that ended with a relaxing view of the pond and fish. Bravo!
What a happy day when you can spend it with Laura doing anything! Samantha Grace brightens up every single picture she’s in! As does Benjamin! Thanks for sharing your day❤
The pond is so peaceful. Hope the trees thrive. The marinara sauce looks good and the recipe sounds great. I enjoyed your video and hope everyone has a blessed day.
We can grow avocados here in the Central Valley of California. We are zone 9 and have hot dry summer weather right along the same temps that you get but with very little wind. Often our nights will cool off with a delta breeze that drifts in. Our winters are milder though. No snow and the occasional freeze. I know one year we had about two weeks below freezing and that year my friend got no avocados. However the following year the tree was loaded. Our soil and water is also quite alkaline and full of nitrates. I guess we get some humidity in the winter when fog settles in but summers are dry! There are avocado orchards in Southern California inland around Palmdale , CA. We, too, have bought from Fast Growing trees- a Flamethrower Redbud which us thriving and 2 jacaranda trees One of those came in good shape and the other not so good. This spring both seemed to be dead . One pulled right out if the ground. The other did not but broke all the top half off-dead wood. Now all of a sudden that one has a shrub like growth at the bottom?? So who knows.
I can’t begin to express how amazing your channel is and there isn’t a day that goes by that my husband and I enjoy our morning coffee while watching your video. Great way to start the day!! Your recent video where you made marinara sauce was so interesting and you made our mouths water so much that we have spent the last two days making this recipie😊It is absolutely delicious!! Thank you so much for all you do and all you share. God Bless you and your family. Watching from St Thomas, Ontario Canada🥰
Hi Laura I have been watching almost all your videos from India. You are living in paradise I feel, my dream garden. I love everything you do and you are living my dreams. Love you Ching.
What an interesting video! I appreciate the clear explanation of canning, which I would love to learn. So delightful to see Samantha experiment with tasting the green tomato!
Laura!!! I made this marinara with my tomatoes from my garden and they got RAVE reviews! 🥳🥳🥳 I’m thrilled and will make this again. I halved the recipe because I only had 6 lbs of fresh tomatoes and I will try and make this in smaller batches over the winter if I can get my hands on some organic tomatoes. Thanks for making life sweeter for so many! Much love. 💜💜💜
I'm in SoCal and I think your avocado trees look fine for newly shipped trees. They'll perk up. Avocado leaves tend to be pendulous in nature anyway, so don't be disturbed by the initial droopy look. When they fill out they'll look glorious.
I've made several purchases from Fast Growing Trees and have always been very pleased with the packaging and products. Love y'all and everything I learn.
This has been one of my favorite videos you’ve ever done, Laura!! I’ve been curious about Fast Griwing Trees for a while so fingers crossed there. And I love watching you cook and tomato sauce is one thing I’ve been playing with from my garden tomatoes …I put them in the freezer, but I want to can-tooooo chicken!!😂. Sadly my tomato plants have checked out with our Texas heat and drought. Hoping for a second flush when our weather breaks. And best of all sweet sweet peaks of Samantha Grace. Thanks for all you and Aaron so. Love starting my day with y’all. Hugs from East Texas!
Love these canning videos - always makes me feel more confident when sources I trust do things that intimidate me. And with all the vegetables you’ve inspired me to grow preserving food is helpful to see!
My word, Laura. With those black widows and your sandals and no gloves 😱. Speaking as an Australian where aaaaall the scary, deadly things live 😂. You’re a brave woman. I salute you!
I live in the U.S. where copperheads live. Although I've never seen one, I'm respectful of anything poisonous and wear boots in areas where I can see everything underfoot. No way would I be in an area with black widows in sandals and no gloves and would not let my child be there. I don't call it brave. I didn't raise my children to be afraid of nature. I did raise them to be smart!
Hi Laura and Aaron! Really enjoy watching you cook with the things that you're growing isn't that what it's all about! Enjoyed seeing Aaron in the video about the trees. Would be nice to see more of him, does he do any cooking?
Hi Laura and Aaron! Avocado trees have very long- 3 foot in length, tap roots. They cannot be messed with. Place them in a container that allows for that or it will NOT survive. Best of luck!! They hate hate clay soil, so maybe if you put them in the high tunnel with an open bottom to facilitate the tap root growth. I would suggest looking at Self Sufficient me’s channel, he grows in Australia and has great insight on how to grow them successfully! Thanks for your channel! I truly enjoy and appreciate it! 🌸😊 Vicki
I love Fast Growing Trees too! I bought a Redbud and a Crabapple which came bare root last year. They are doing very well. Also, your Marinara sauce recipe sounds delicious.
What a fun day! I could almost smell your marinara sauce. I'm not a canner since my husband passed but I might have to make an exception🤗 Good luck with your avocado trees. They are so yummy fresh off the tree. Honestly, avocados are yummy anytime😅

It will be interesting to see if an avocado tree will survive the super dry conditions without humidity in Eastern Oregon summers outside.

Inland areas hover around 15%- 35% humidity regularly. The trees usually planted on slopes to better keep the trees warm from winter frost. I feel like the cold is a bigger issue than the humidity.
Nice... but I hear ya need male n female tree. Is that true?

Laura, if you have a kitchenaid mixer, you can get an attachment that strains tomatoes, apples, etc. It purees the fruit down one chute and has a separate chute to discard the skins, seeds and cores. You just cut the raw tomatoes or apples into quarters and feed them down the chute. Put a pot under the chute and it's ready to cook. It's a game changer!
Yes ma’am! The feet in the pond is a fabulous way to end any project!
I love watching the unboxing and potting of avocado trees - it's like witnessing the start of a delicious journey.

I love Fast Growing Trees. I have ordered many and always been very happy with their trees!
The pond is so peaceful. Hope the trees thrive. The marinara sauce looks good and the recipe sounds great. I enjoyed your video and hope everyone has a blessed day.
We can grow avocados here in the Central Valley of California. We are zone 9 and have hot dry summer weather right along the same temps that you get but with very little wind. Often our nights will cool off with a delta breeze that drifts in. Our winters are milder though. No snow and the occasional freeze. I know one year we had about two weeks below freezing and that year my friend got no avocados. However the following year the tree was loaded. Our soil and water is also quite alkaline and full of nitrates. I guess we get some humidity in the winter when fog settles in but summers are dry! There are avocado orchards in Southern California inland around Palmdale , CA. We, too, have bought from Fast Growing trees- a Flamethrower Redbud which us thriving and 2 jacaranda trees One of those came in good shape and the other not so good. This spring both seemed to be dead . One pulled right out if the ground. The other did not but broke all the top half off-dead wood. Now all of a sudden that one has a shrub like growth at the bottom?? So who knows.
I love fast growing trees! I have purchased so many trees from them!
🌳😊Those tomato plants are beautiful. In my case, I grew an avocado seed, and my little tree is 3 years old now.
I can’t begin to express how amazing your channel is and there isn’t a day that goes by that my husband and I enjoy our morning coffee while watching your video. Great way to start the day!! Your recent video where you made marinara sauce was so interesting and you made our mouths water so much that we have spent the last two days making this recipie😊It is absolutely delicious!! Thank you so much for all you do and all you share. God Bless you and your family. Watching from St Thomas, Ontario Canada🥰
Hi Laura I have been watching almost all your videos from India. You are living in paradise I feel, my dream garden. I love everything you do and you are living my dreams. Love you Ching.
They are great people to work with! We bought 40 trees from them and they are fantastic!
I have ordered from Fast Growing Trees multiple times. The trees have always just THRIVED.
What an interesting video! I appreciate the clear explanation of canning, which I would love to learn. So delightful to see Samantha experiment with tasting the green tomato!
Laura!!! I made this marinara with my tomatoes from my garden and they got RAVE reviews! 🥳🥳🥳 I’m thrilled and will make this again. I halved the recipe because I only had 6 lbs of fresh tomatoes and I will try and make this in smaller batches over the winter if I can get my hands on some organic tomatoes.
Thanks for making life sweeter for so many! Much love. 💜💜💜
I'm in SoCal and I think your avocado trees look fine for newly shipped trees. They'll perk up. Avocado leaves tend to be pendulous in nature anyway, so don't be disturbed by the initial droopy look. When they fill out they'll look glorious.
I’ve bought from Fast Growing trees also. I’ve always had good luck with the exception of one plant and they were quick to replace it. 😊
Wonderful video🌹🌹❤❤
The pond is a great way to end. Marinara sauce looks yummy. Good luck with the avocados.
I have purchased close to one hundred trees from that website. I have been very pleased with the trees I received. They are all doing very well.
I think these kind of cooking/planting/pottering around videos are my favourite. Thanks Laura & Aaron 😊
The “well, that’s one way to do it” is SO relatable. I nearly spit out my water when that happened. 🤣😂
Have purchased a few trees from Fast Growing Trees and all are growing fabulous!
I love all of the canning and meals from the garden videos! Hope you do much more of them!
I watch your videos and I go and get things done. You are an inspiration.
I've made several purchases from Fast Growing Trees and have always been very pleased with the packaging and products. Love y'all and everything I learn.
I've bought from fast growing trees and the bushes looked great! Would do it again.
Afternoon Everyone 🍃🌺🍃
I've always wanted to order from them, glad to see so many positive comments here!
I’ve had good luck with fast growing trees.
This has been one of my favorite videos you’ve ever done, Laura!! I’ve been curious about Fast Griwing Trees for a while so fingers crossed there. And I love watching you cook and tomato sauce is one thing I’ve been playing with from my garden tomatoes …I put them in the freezer, but I want to can-tooooo chicken!!😂. Sadly my tomato plants have checked out with our Texas heat and drought. Hoping for a second flush when our weather breaks. And best of all sweet sweet peaks of Samantha Grace. Thanks for all you and Aaron so. Love starting my day with y’all. Hugs from East Texas!
Love these canning videos - always makes me feel more confident when sources I trust do things that intimidate me. And with all the vegetables you’ve inspired me to grow preserving food is helpful to see!
Oh love the start with Samantha Grace taking a bite out of a green tomato an saying "YUCKY" 🤣🤣🤣
My word, Laura. With those black widows and your sandals and no gloves 😱. Speaking as an Australian where aaaaall the scary, deadly things live 😂. You’re a brave woman. I salute you!
I live in the U.S. where copperheads live. Although I've never seen one, I'm respectful of anything poisonous and wear boots in areas where I can see everything underfoot. No way would I be in an area with black widows in sandals and no gloves and would not let my child be there. I don't call it brave. I didn't raise my children to be afraid of nature. I did raise them to be smart!
Good morning! I have ordered from Fast Growing Trees before and have always received quality trees. Great choice!
I have used Fast Growing Trees and they were in beautiful condition.
Hi Laura and Aaron! Really enjoy watching you cook with the things that you're growing isn't that what it's all about! Enjoyed seeing Aaron in the video about the trees. Would be nice to see more of him, does he do any cooking?
I bought several plants from them. There packaging and plants are the best.
Hi Laura and Aaron! Avocado trees have very long- 3 foot in length, tap roots. They cannot be messed with. Place them in a container that allows for that or it will NOT survive. Best of luck!! They hate hate clay soil, so maybe if you put them in the high tunnel with an open bottom to facilitate the tap root growth.
I would suggest looking at Self Sufficient me’s channel, he grows in Australia and has great insight on how to grow them successfully!
Thanks for your channel! I truly enjoy and appreciate it! 🌸😊 Vicki
Fast Growing Trees is a great web sight. They love plants and it shows!
I love Fast Growing Trees too! I bought a Redbud and a Crabapple which came bare root last year. They are doing very well. Also, your Marinara sauce recipe sounds delicious.
What a fun day! I could almost smell your marinara sauce. I'm not a canner since my husband passed but I might have to make an exception🤗 Good luck with your avocado trees. They are so yummy fresh off the tree. Honestly, avocados are yummy anytime😅
