I like boxwoods, too! I have them across the front of my house, and they've been there since 1998, when I purchased my home...and who knows how long before that. They are beautiful and mature, and lush. To me, they're very classic and everyone should place what they want in their yards/gardens. They're getting a trim next week. I don't notice a smell at all. I'll use them at my new home, too. I don't understand the disdain for them, but oh well! "You do you!" 🤗

We have our own septic system and it is so important to be pumped regularly. State laws change and we had to have a new well to make sure the distance is correct. Not a fun thing to have done. Our new well is very deep now.

What would be an awesome activity for the center is to have them each arrange their own flower bouquet. Maybe you could tell the aides when flowers are ready to be cut and the residents can gather on a certain day to arrange their flowers. It would be such a wonderful activity for them and bring them such joy to be working with flowers.

I can't tell you how long I've been watching your channel. I love your soft-spoken enthusiasm for gardening. I'm always in awe of your mastery of plant names & species. I'm almost 70 & I have a postage stamp hilly property that I grew up on having purchased it from my siblings after Mom passed in 2019. Although Dad & my grandad both had green thumbs, Mom did not. The property, gardens & orchard had been left to survive on thei own. They've grown pretty wild. Given the steep grade of the hill, it can be treacherous to weed & plant without proper terracing. I must confess I love to rejoice in your spacious green fields and how you can carve out meandering walks and gardens to optimize their beauty and productivity. I struggle to leave the green in my thumb & not let envy creep into my heart. 😂 ❤ I really enjoy the way your & your hubby chat during your recap videos. Blessings abundant to you and your family.

Boxwoods add an element of elegance to a home.

Hostas - there’s a wonderful local lady to me (UK) who grows her hosta in hanging baskets to stop the slug/snail damage. They look amazing hanging under tree canopies. Kathy (Cathy?) Brown - she wrote a book on it. Such gorgeous gardens, if you get the chance to go.

I am definitely with Laura on the reservoirs. California,where I live has a very constant cycle . I’m 80 years old and have lived in CA 44 yrs and I have seen this repeatedly. We have 5-7 years of very little rainfall or snow which of course puts us into a drought, but then we get q or 2 yrs of a lot of rain- too much for our current reservoirs so much of it is released into the ocean. A simple solution would be a couple of more reservoirs. It’s true we need to keep our rivers ears flowing but the time we have to let the majority of the water out is during the same time there is plenty of water in the rivers. Then when they really need water in those rivers our reservoirs are low so everyone suffers. Our weather pattern depends solely on El Niño and La Niña. People forget that much of CA really is a desert

“I like ‘em” Laura from Garden Answer from the bowels of a boxwood hedge 😂😂😂😂

I've grown rice in the past. Super easy. Use a shallow rubber horse trough, put a few inches of soil in the bottom, put the seed in the soil and fill the trough with water until it covers the dirt. As the rice grows, keep adding water to just below the growing tips until you reach the top of the trough. Keep the water topped off until the rice is harvested. The hard part is separating the rice from the chaff. There are machines for micro growers, but they were pretty expensive. I communicated with the creator of the micro machines and the best idea we could come up with for micro, micro growing is to spread the rice out on a piece of wood and rub another piece of wood over it with a fan blowing on the rice to blow the chaff away. I only grew it for a year or two. Too much work, lol.

Laura's head floating in the boxwood hedge was masterful editing. 😆 🤣

lol the editing in this is hilarious

9:21 luckily there has been a lot of effort to improve the way reservoirs are engineered 💪🏼 go science; new reservoirs prevent evaporation and temperature spikes that kill many species of flora and fauna necessary in an ecosystem. We are far better off now that we have learned how to utilize water reclamation more efficiently than if we had stuck with the first engineering attempts 100 years ago 🙌🏼💪🏼 PSA to continue to fund and support STEM and the EPA 🙏🏼

if the residents are able they may love making the arrangements themselves as a project .

I planted the Rosy Diamond tulip too. Amazing. People in my office thought it was a peony - it was so big and full!

I loved the “fart” conversation. It was so real and human. Made me laugh and love you both even more. 😂

Laura.. You just discussed hosta’s. Wanted to give you and Aaron some info. We are members of American Hosta Society and Western NY Hosta Society. We are located just south of Buffalo, NY, Zone 6A. There are more than 10 thousand registered hosta’s and many more that aren’t. In our small suburban garden, we have over 750 different hostas, from mini to giant. We only have a couple duplicates, because they are my favorites! When we ran out of garden space, we went to pots. We just unloaded the garage if more than 250 different potted hostas! We wait until a killing frost in the fall, strip the dead leaves off, and they go into an unheated, not attached garage. They are stored on shelves all winter and completely ignored. No water, no snowballs on the pot, nothing. The hostas are dormant and do not need water. We have several large potted hostas in the yard that are too heavy to move. We put a brick under the pot so they are tipped. Reason is to prevent the heat thaw cycle. The snow lands on the soil, and over the winter the soil can freeze. On those late winter days, the sun comes out and melts the snow. The water can’t get through the frozen dirt and that leads to rot of the crown. Happy to say, we didn’t lose any hosta’s this year at all. We have learned so much from you and do enjoy seeing your children and extended family. We are participants in Gardens:Buffalo-Niagara Open Gardens and our local Garden Walk. We host tour groups from around the area and from out of state (Florida) and Canada. We are on Facebook too. Whit’s End Gardens. If you would like to see an area who gardens, Buffalo hosts the largest free Garden Walk (over 400 gardens) every July and there are over 100 Open Gardens on Thursday and Friday in July. Come visit! Benjamin would enjoy Whit’s End Gardens as we have 3 different gardens railroads that circle around our shaded yard.

Hello Johanna I'm from Michigan We have a large Dutch population on the western side of my state. Holland, is just lovely, but so many smaller towns are too, as well as the larger city of Grand Rapids. The Dutch population is almost half a million in Michigan. Come visit some time. Welkom.

My male cat does that motion too, he is fixed and has never sprayed. Same with my brother's cats. If you look it up it actually means that they are happy. Unless they are doing it while in a confrontation with another cat, then it's usually a dominance thing, lol.

We have a koppert here in my small Canadian town. I love their products. Infact, when you go to a garden centre and purchase already made flower baskets, they come with the koppert sacks attached for white flies and other bugs. They are a great company. They have been here what seems like forever. I remember my brother always going there to get stuff for his small greenhouse, and always talking about how great their stuff works.

Some cats have a tail shake that means they are happy

Great recap, as always, I enjoyed it so much. Such a perfect start to my Sunday. Have a blessed day everyone.

My tulips come back year after year! I try and find perennial varieties meant to come back. Dig deep! I seem to have best luck when I plant them deep 9" or more. That gives you lots of space for perennial or annual plants on top 😊

I agree with Aaron on the benches with backs. There is a charm to a bench like that. It's inviting.

Cats shake their tales without spraying/marking when happy or excited.

You are so great about wanting to protect your neighbor's views! I live in an area where we all have about an acre lot. And the homes are pretty nice but people will put junk in their backyards right next to the property line and it drives me nuts (there are no trees or fences in our neighborhood)! I would definitely not mind a high tunnel, that's just me personally. I think high tunnels are beautiful in their own way.

Very happy with the news about the arrival of the kneeling pads.

Talking about getting additional help, you could always hire someone who is attending your college in horticulture studies as an intern. Would give them experience.

🙏🏻you never get tulip fire. I have it (western WA) and now can’t plant tulips in the same ground for three years. I read about some famous European gardens that had to switch to using sterilized pots after they were hit. I might try that for a small tulip fix. 😉
