I laughed so hard at the face you made. “Scandalous” I love that you wouldn’t even say it out loud. Laura, you are a pleasure to watch. Even if you didn’t have The most ridiculously gorgeous garden that we get to watch grow and change, you would still be a delight to watch. You are so classy and your enthusiasm and appreciation for all things beautiful is contagious. I have so much respect and gratitude for you. Thank you. And thanks to Aaron and Benjamin for sharing her with us. 😄

OMG!!! Totally just spit my coffee everywhere!!! That was the funniest clip. Hairy Balls!! 🤣🤣

Lol I busted up laughing out loud🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (scandalous) and the look on your face. Your soooo funny and u try to be so sweet about it! Love your videos lady.❤

I love how you do drifts of plants. I’ve taken this tip into my own garden and it’s brought in the structure I didn’t realize I was lacking.

While many may not agree, my dear departed gardening "choosen Mom and mentor's" saying, " most every plant is a weed to some somebody somewhere on our planet!" Wise prairie, gardening legend having lived from 1918 till a few years ago. Lots of wisdom in our elders.

I grew the Hairy Ball Miilkweed last year after my sister received a flower arrangement with them in it. They are really something! And I was completely blown away by all the monarchs it attracted!

What a great way to start our Sunday morning. We love hearing you on the radio. We shout “Laura’s on!”!!!!!!! Thank you for all you and Aaron and your parents do to keep our world green and blooming😊❤️👍🌻

“Scandalous” I died laughing 😂

I can rewind video over & over again and still laugh 😆 😂 😹 out loud like it’s my first time watching it. Thanks Laura!

You, are too funny! After the face you made, I finally realized who you remind me of. One of the best neighbors I’ve had, Meghan Fourroux! I discovered you about a month ago and have been binging your videos. You’ve nudged me back into my garden, and because you keep just to gardening, you are a happy escape. Thank you!

Omg 😂😂 scandalous! I usually watch your videos whilst cooking or tidying my kitchen, and I had to rewind to see what the tag said! 🤣 very amusing

Beware of the Hairy Balls (🤣I agree, what a name!). They reseed like crazy and are the gift that keeps giving to the point of becoming a nightmare that you wish you wouldn’t keep reseeding! We grew it in our large and unusual Master Gardener Demonstration bed in Muskogee, OK. It was huge and prolific!

"Scandalous" had me cackling!

Hairy balls in the moon garden, how romantic! 🤣

Oh my Lordy Laura, my 11 year old son begs me to buy these seeds fro Lisa Ziegler at The Gardener’s Workshop! Cracks me up! Good on you for being brave enough to plant them! 😁

I can't wait to see these fill in.

Meadow Sweet is beautiful! They all are stunning! I so love watching your channel and the lovely Instagram pages of photos... thank you for all the information, encouragement and beauty you and Aaron bring to the world. ✨💖✨

So fun to try new things. Hope they do well. Have a great day!

You mentioned in a previous video you were looking for round stepping stones. You can make some, and have your son leave foot prints and hand prints in one. You can make as many as you need. You can also make a new foot/hand print each year to add in with the rest.

I love sea holly. It looks like a fairytale plant. Laura, can you do a video on what to do with your spent allium blooms? Can they be dried and keep their form? They are so cool and whimsical that I don't want to throw them away.

The “scandalous” plant....I think you handled that very well!

Very unusual plants. I have never heard of any of those. Can’t wait to see the, take off! Tfs. 👏🏻👏🏻🌸👏🏻

LAURA!! "Hairy balls" - Your face was priceless.

I love to try New Things in the garden.

These are great choices for the areas where they were placed. The meadowsweet is so beautiful! I think you’re going to love them! Love the “scandalous” comment! 🤣🤣 🙌💚🌿🌸

ELMA ElmaR Hi Elma, meadowsweet is an herbaceous perennial and one variety is spirea ‘alba’, so I guess the answer would be yes. I’ve never thought of it as such, but your question made me curious. I looked it up and they are both in the rosacea family. So thanks for teaching me something new!

I love when you put the name of the plants in text, or show the tag. I watch your videos with two devices! One so I can watch, and a second opened to Pinterest, so I can save the plants for later. Sometimes they are hard to spell, based on how they sound, if you’ve never heard of them. I love how excited you get about every single thing. You are truly awesome.

Laura Laura Why to plant something with lots and lots of thorns !!! Still thank you so much for another video today. Every time I wake up to a new video from you guys Make me happy ! What a nice treat from a nice blessed family. Thank you and have a blessed Sunday. Regards from Indiana.

What a fun mix! I giggled at your "scandalous" comment!🤣🤣 I love it! I have never planted any of these plants but I have used the blue thistle quite often in wedding work along with other cut flower arrangements. I am the florist at a garden center in Minnesota and the blue thistle is a perfect example of a natural blue addition to any arrangement. Looking forward to seeing how the milk weed bloom!😎

Whaaat? Who named THAT plant? Lol! A very different planting variety, today! I love it!

Hairy Balls! I needed that laugh, thanks Laura! 😂😂😂😂😂

Hello, I live in Manitoba, Canada (zone 3a) and grow two types of milkweed for the monarchs. They are beautiful, fragrant and Benjamin will thoroughly enjoy seeing them especially if they make their chrysalis on them, I know my kids did. They do already by seed so be mindful of that and enjoy!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that struggles with drip irrigation issues. It feels like a never-ending struggle lol 😆

That was just so awesome lol! Whoever named that plant definitely lined everyone up for a good laugh!! The garden is looking great as always.

Laura, your projects are always beautiful and I love your desire to always incorporate new thing in your garden 💙

I love seeing the different plants that you are experimenting with. Most I have never seen before.

It is so hot and windy here. I have to water my plants 2 times a day. I do not have a green thumb. My husband said about my Dad , he could grow roses from rocks. ha! but he had a make up little winter green house in his work shop. I love watching you . These new plants are neat. Have fun watching them thrive. thanks Joyce

THANK YOU, Laura! You are a breathe of fresh air! God Bless!

The acanthus leaf shape has been used for centuries as a decoration for furniture and architecture. You’ll see it on ornate tables that have been hand carved. Also usually done in brass and stone

I wonder if the problem with that area could be the tennis court? During really hot weather, I bet it radiates a bunch of heat. I have a large concrete front porch that I could not keep pots alive on. My mother suggested I lift the pots off the hot concrete and I haven’t had a problem since.

Hi Laura, I have Acanthus mollis in my garden in southern Australia & it’s ryzomes multiply & spread like crazy 😬 It’s flower spires are beautiful but get very spiky when they are finished. Good luck with it in your garden. Thanks to you and Aaron for your great videos ♥️

Laura, your videos are so much fun!!! Love 'em!!!

I've been planting so many new flowers. You've inspired me so much. Love all your videos. 😀

How timely! A friend gave me a tiny gomphocarpus from his garden yesterday 😃

I love your videos! Watching them is like getting to do something I always wanted to do but can't; planting different varieties and putting them in arrangements. Please continue to share with us. 🌿

Mnmmm! How exciting! Something new! Yes! Can not wait for the garden.🤗🤗🤗😀😃😄😁 Going to be fun.

I'm obsessed with your channel. How lucky are you, for the selection of plants you come across. It seems like the same old stuff here in SW FL. I'm quite envious!

Hi Laura, unusual blend of plants, totally get the trying of new types to grow. Here in Texas the Milk Weed and the Prickly Pear plants are weeds out in our cow fields. The worse the soil the better they grow and spread. Best in dry, rocky areas and they absolutely take over. However in your area it may grow entirely different. Hope they do as well and like you want. Thank you for sharing. 🌺💐🌷

I am so excited to see the garden throughout the summer; especially the moon garden. I started a small one in a planter. I watched an older video last night for inspiration and my oh my how your gardens have changed (and I got to see Dexter again 😘). I love living this transformation journey with you and your family.

I loved seeing all these unusual plants. Thank you for enriching our knowledge daily!!

I was recently inspired by one of your shade garden videos, and started on one here at home today! I had forgotten how much work preparing and planting can be! And you do this every day! Very impressive - thank you for the wonderful content and endless inspiration!

Thank you for mentioning the tree type of Ash and Birch. I am amazed with these new type of plants and not familiar. Love learning about these. You do a perfect job Laura. Thank you.

Laura everything you plant is beautiful, you have give me so many ideas for my own garden,thank you for all your hard work, I'm sure your excausted at the end of the day,love from Ireland xxxx

I have learned so much from you in the year I have been following you Laura. Thank you!

LoL 😂 ... This is exactly why I watch your channel first thing in the morning while having my coffee! You start my day out with a smile, no better way to start each day! ❤

Awesome, coffee with Laura and some new plants!! I love that you are planting some things that you haven't planted before as it adds to my list of ideas!!!!! The bloom stocks on the Acanthus is gorgeous and will be fun to see as it matures. It's also good to see you having to trouble shoot things and see how you decide to fix an issue like maybe planting a bog plant in an area. Thanks so much for all the inspiration!!

Omg @ 5:20 the “scandalous” comment made me laugh and I re watched your reaction several times bc it was the best!!😂🤣😂🤣❤️

Neat to see new plants... so glad you are trying another milkweed for the monarchs... they are really suffering on the west coast and every plant they can find can make a difference in their comeback!

Too funny, entertaining and educational as always!

Hi Laura and Aron, thank you for uploading this kind of videos. You have no idea how you brighten up my day during these depressing days because of the pandemic. Your daily videos helps me escape for a few minutes and not thinking about on what is happening on our world. Praying for your family to be continously blessed. 😊♥️

Thanks for showing us some newbies for you. Fun to see how they do.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing me three plants I didn’t know about (one I did know.) Also, thanks for showing us gardeners that it is ok to plant something that might fail, but might work for the sake of a beautiful plant...that may or may not live. 🥰

Laura you are 100% adorable to the core. I want to plant those Scandalous plants...for the conversation piece. I sure do hope you do a table arrangement for a big family/friends meal and display those in it..video it and show it please. It is funny that I come to this video today as it reminded me of what i said to my daughter who over cooked the baked potatoes in the microwave and they sat there for a bit. Anywhooooo i just wanted to say one of my FAVORITE plants is white wands veronica. When i first saw it in a video of yours it to me looked like it sparkled. and everytime i see it i keep getting the same reaction. I think you have a good patch of it around/behind chicken coup or gazebo...where you had brick layed. Thank you for the video. You being real is what makes this channel AWESOME.

I have had Bears Breeches (Acanthus mollis) in my garden (zone 8) for several years - it does run underground so I had to take mine up and put it in a pot - it's kinda like your bindweed when trying to remove it - they grow deep and you have to get every little piece of root or it would send up a new plant - it took me 3 years to get them all out - luckily everyone I knew (online) wanted one - so I have at least 100 bears breeches out there growing! Wish we could upload photos mine are looking great right now!

You’ve been an inspiration! I’ve been gardening and doing yard work for hours a day with this Covid, for the past month and a half. I live in Honolulu, so different plants here. I made my first pot with different plants thinking of you while I worked on it! I’m really happy with how it turned out! My husband loves it too! Also I’ve been reworking the overall look in our yard and long driveway.

I've grown the Filipendula..the meadowsweet. I have mine in a bed that gets full sun and not much water. I used to live in Ontario, so learned to Xeriscape there, as I didnt want to be watering all the time. SO...this plant is in Michigan, granted MUCH more water than where you are, in my garden it religiously comes back every year and hasnt spread. I love when it blooms! Light and airy and a bright spot of white

Hi Laura! It will be fun seeing how these plants do. I love the Eryngium ‘Big Blue’! I've seen them, or something very similar, as cut flowers and always admire them. I think I will have to break down and get some for a dried flower arrangement to add some color in the house. Thank you for sharing!

AWESOME.....simply gorgeous new plants indeed... Thanks for sharing..❤💖💝

It will be fun to watch these grow!

Those are beautiful, I have never planted these before, but I want to give them a try. Learn so much from your videos.

I may have missed it in a video, but have you planted your Amaryllis out in your garden bed anywhere? I remember you saying that was what you planned to do this year. I have many in the house still. I usually just take care of them indoors but I was intrigued by your plan to bring yours outdoors for the summer.

You should grow dahlias because I want to learn more about growing them! And they are so beautiful!

Some great additions to your flower arrangement options! I tried growing hairy balls from seed a few years ago but didn’t have any luck. Hope it works for you with plants already doing well

Fun fact about the Acanthus, you can see a lot of it used in Baroque sculptures. Especially on the top parts of the coloumns. In Malta (a small island in the middle of the Mediterrenean see) it grows wild, and it blooms in early spring. If im not mistaken, also when the seed pods are ready, the mother plant explodes them making the seeds travel quite a distance, and then of course they to germinate. On another note I do have a video suggestion, could you tour several flower beds in your garden, and showing pictures or videos of what it looked like before you started working on it. It would be nice for us to see the diffence troughout the years

I found some native wild eryngium EVERYWHERE in a field close to my home and I’m OBSESSED! I’m going to be saving some seeds to plant next year

I love watching your videos! It relaxes me! ❤️

I have been watching your videos and you are inspiring me..... I have a lot to learn and plant at home

Hi Laura great video today loved you choice of plants and the places you planted them my first time this year for going the erynguim so l will see how it grows to. Can't wait to see how your ants do in coming weeks

Planted an Acanthus as a specimen at the nursery I worked at 14 years ago. Still going strong this year. Gets afternoon shade here in N. Georgia. Great foliage even when it doesn't bloom.

I love everything you planted. Will love to see how they do😊❤️😊

I'm Zone 5 in NY and I just love Eryngium! I pair it w/Hakone grass All Gold, Tradescantia (also a chartreuse cultivar), and myrtle. Lovely combo. I was shocked, however, when I saw a woodchuck *chewing* on the Eryngium!! UNbelievable 😬.

Perfect way to wake up! Cup of coffee in hand and watching your video with my little guy. 💜

wow, those are so pretty! hubby had to come back here to see why i was laughing so hard at your, um, scandalous plant, hahaha... well, that's a conversation starter fer sure!!! they all look like they were made for the areas you found... good plant vibes coming your way to see them flourish....thanks for the video!!

Definitely a conversation starter. I laughed right out loud. 🤣😂🤣😂

I went onto my local Audubon site to see what I could plant that is native to my area. I looked up so many plants and couldn't find anything that local growers sell. I really want to make my backyard bird friendly and not have invasive species. You are way west of me but I think people would love to know what grows in your area naturally. I'm in Massachusetts. totally different climate. Love your videos.

I have a couple of Hairy Balls in my Butterfly Garden. They are about 5 ft. tall and have to be protected from the wind. They love our FL rainy weather too. You really don't notice the white flowers due to the.....seed pods😄. The Monarch caterpillars LOVE this plant as do I. Good choice!

Ha, ha. That's too cute. It's a family show.

🥰✨Love every single new plant! I am always inspired by what you show us! Thank you!

Wonderful!? Love finding new plants

I have had Meadow sweet in my shade garden for many years....tucked in with hostas and lamium. It’s very dry in Eastern Montana so I have to supplement water often. It has never overgrown it’s space and blooms beautifully

I grow Eryngium "Miss Willmott's ghost", after the nineteenth-century gardener, Ellen Wilmott, who liked to secretly scatter seeds of the plant in other people's gardens.

You helped me take the first step which was putting in drip irrigation. I have some spots that need more water and some needing less water so I started putting in valves so I could turn the water on and off in sections depending on the moisture level each day. So I have to monitor each plot but at least I am not standing with the hose for hours anymore!
