I love smoke bushes. I have the wine coloured one in my backyard, they love water too. It also is great because when its getting a bit too bushy in my smaller space I can trim it back and amazingly it bounces back with new growth and new leaves flush out, which is a bit brighter red then the older leaves. So pretty! I keep seeing the blush or peach toned one in yards, and they get more smoke blooms than my variety. I would love one of those but need to find a spot for it first in my already developed garden😊

Russell deserves a big treat. Good boy for showing his human before the little humans got hurt ❤

I love how everyone helped plant the tree. I wonder what their answer would be if you asked Samantha and Benjamin what their parents do for a living. Great job Russell finding that wasp nest.

Thank you for listening to Russell. Some people would not have bothered. I agree. He deserves a treat!

There’s so much from this video that was just amazing…..but first off Russell deserves some extra pets and treats for sure! He warned you about those wasps and kept you guys from getting stung!! Hurrah for Russell!! So many things that went in or work you did that was glorious! It’s becoming such an amazing garden in a BIG picture way! There are so many areas now that have shade and that are so exciting in so many different ways! I think that the garden/s deserve to be in one of the country’s gardening magazines that feature your amazing work! It’s always so touching to see all of the family out there working together to plant something! You’ve helped so many many people with gardening and you’ve helped so many people, like me for one, get thru a terribly difficult time coping with grief. Watching your channel every morning is a beautiful way to start my mornings and you have my extreme thanks for your beautiful channel. Can’t wait for the unfolding story this summer and fall will bring to this wonderful garden! ❤️💫🌸🌳🌸💫❤️

Good job Russell finding that wasp nest. Your so sweet.

Laura is so fearless I would have been scared to spray them myself!

Russell deserves a big treat. What a sweetie, protecting mama. You guys did a lot, wow. The areas are looking fantastic. I know some don't like the hosta blooms but I love them, their so graceful, yours are beautiful. Love the little boxwood, I've been looking for a small boxwood, now I have a name. Thank you.

I'm with you! I never understood people's distaste for hosta blooms. I work at a nursery, and at this time of year you can't go a single day without seeing dozens of hummingbirds in the hosta section. They love them. I get that the stems can be a little wobbly and messy, but I feel like it's worth it for the pollinators.

I'm so thrilled you guys finally decided to plant a Tulip Tree! The flutter of the leaves in the wind make such a beautiful sound. It's the state tree of Tennessee, so we'll see how it goes in your area!

The tulip poplars are so big and pretty! The leaf shape is unique. Looks like a maple leaf that got its tip trimmed off. The blooms are gorgeous, but when the tree gets big, you need binoculars to see them way up on the top of the tree. 🤣😂

You are so smart Laura to be protecting your skin. I did not and I’ve had skin cancer removed on my arm leaving a big scar. You learned from your mother to keep their skin all covered up.

Atta Boy Russell, you saved your Mom from a possible painful sting!! 🥰

Trees makes such a huge impact in a garden. Thank you so much for teaching me all things gardening. I would never have imagined myself the Gardner that I have become all because of garden answer. You and Aaron are masters at teaching and I will be forever grateful.

Love all the trees you planted. So thankful that you got the wasp nest before anyone got hurt.

Everything is beautiful way to go, Russell. You’re a hero.

Oh my…your two littles helping “plant” that tree! So priceless…and teaching your children good work ethics.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the gardening continues to evolve into a full family affair... From generation to generation!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Laura, You are so right, trees are a valuable asset everywhere, but especially in warmer climates. They provide cooling shade, absorb CO2, and release O2 as well as adding beauty to our neighborhoods, towns and cities. They do require upkeep and maintenance which can be an expense, but we need more trees, not fewer! Thank you to you and Aaron for being advocates for trees.

I love all the trees, especially the Tulip Poplar tree. We have three along our driveway. It's the state tree of Tennessee, where we live. The squirrels love to eat what's left after it blossoms. Benjamin was worn out, so cute. And Samantha trying to help him, adorable! .

Y’all put in a lot hours getting all those trees planted! It looks glorious! Thanks for the quick tour of plants planted for this year again!❤❤❤

Good morning. I love the tree plantings. Your garden has evolved so much in just a few years. It's beautiful. 🐝🪴

There is something so satisfying to watch that huge auger digging holes! Love seeing your vision starting to develop. Trees just make a property! Good job Russell ❤

I’m so happy to see the trees getting planted. It hurts my heart to see them sitting lonely in pots so long. Everything is so beautiful. I love your videos. Thank you.

Thank you Laura for setting a good example by wearing a hat to protect your head and face from the hot sun. Protecting our skin from the sun should be a goal for all of us. A sun hat would be a good addition to your GA store. 🌿🌸🌿

Hi Laura and Aaron - I’m fortunate that red bud trees self-seed in my yard in Ontario, Canada, so I haven’t had to buy any, and now that they’ve matured the yard is a burst of purple buds in Spring! It’s interesting to see you introducing different leaf varieties. Tree planting days have become my favourite, as the land transforms before our eyes!

Laura, I am 78 years old and very fair. My grandmother pounded into my head to not let my skin see the sun. Obviously, I did get some sun from waterskiing when younger and gardening as an adult but I always wore a hat. I am so glad I did because I look 20 years younger than my friends my age. I know you don’t think it matters now but you will be wearing sun damage for the rest of your life.

WHOA!!! A hat?!! Times sure are changing! 🤣Also kudos to Russell! That birch is beautiful!!

New line of products--- Laura hats!!!!! Looks very cute!!! As someone who grew up in the sun and is now paying for it.... please protect yourself while you're young!!!

Wide brim hats are so important to protecting your skin. Skin cancer is not a joke. Erin needs one too.

Love watching the property grow. Looking forward to see how each of the land additions develop, the South and prior gazebo areas have come so far. Grateful your children will be able to watch these trees grow and recall the memories of their planting 💕

Everything is looking so beautiful! I love those pathways so much they just invite you into the garden❣️

The trees look so good! Love Russell!!❤

Tulip Tree: we had a tulip tree in my childhood home. It was such a beautiful tree and when it blooms it looks spectacular! Great choice.

I started planting trees about 35 years ago, when I was younger. At that time, all I had was full sun exposure and I couldn't wait to have some shade. Now, I have lots of shade and, you're right, it does make those areas much more user-friendly, but I miss the full sun areas lol I should be slowing down, as an aging gardener; instead, I find myself making plans to "re-vamp" certain areas, making them more age-friendly. Once a gardener, always a gardener!

I loved seeing the trees go into your landscape and can just imagine what they will look like eventually. Russell deserves extra treats for pointing out the wasp nest.

I love the T-shirt reference to the tulip tree leaves!

Nice to see Russell and glad he found that wasp nest while it was still so small! Love all the trees planted. there was a majestic tulip tree planted in the front yard of our first home. It kept our second floor apartment nicely shaded and cool❤️😊

Go Russell. I hope he didn’t get stung.

We have a tulip poplar that one of our kids brought home from school as a tiny tiny plant. It is probably close to the 60 feet max height and growing. This year I've found small ones growing in some flower beds. I'll be transplanting them soon! Just love them!

I have fond memories of tulip trees while growing up. The leaves are so beautiful. Laura, the area you worked on by the crabapple looks gorgeous! I noticed it right away when you guys were all out there planting the trees. ❤

That is why I have to pay attention when my cats react to something. Good boy Russell! I love the hat Laura!
