      I realized my hubs was hooked when I observed him walking past a Rosemary running his hand along it and sniffing his hand afterward. He has developed a passion for vegetable gardening. His philosophy is p, if you can’t eat it, why grow it. I do foodscaping. I mix fruit trees, blueberry bushes, fig trees, grape vines etc. among my flower beds.

    Laura. For years I have watched your videos and have gained so much knowledge and wisdom in my gardening routine and in gardening in general. Your videos have evolved into something that I cant live without. I love when you share ideas with cooking, crafting, home decor and so much more. You are like the new refreshed version of Martha Stewart. But with an amazing personality, Humor and a down to earth humble personality. You and Arron make an amazing team. And i love the ideas Arron gives on the technical side of things. Never change. And always let the sun warm your backs and always allow the smells of gardening fill your souls. Much Love. Benji

    Fruit trees are a lot of work. They have the potential to get a plethora of disease, so spraying is really needed if you want decent fruit. My husband was an orchardist for many years and pruning is also very important so that you control the size of fruit and health of the tree. I have asked my husband to plant a few fruit trees and he told me nope...and he rarely says no to any plant or tree.

    • @cynthiafisher9907

    Southern Living recommends 4' walkway for a comfortable stroll for two; 5 ' for extra measure. Add 1' on each side for Laura's creeping borders (good call, Aaron!) and you've got 6 to 7' walkway. Can't wait to see it all develop.

In winter, I love to sew and quilt, so I'm doing a lot of that now, then my sewing machine gathers dust as spring and summer roll around. I'm hoping this year to make time in the spring and summer to do more quilting, until it gets too hot in my sewing room.

    You can use the reverse osmosis water with pole,hose and brush system to keep your greenhouse (or any other) windows clean. Its called a pure water or water fed pole system. Its what professionals use. Do it on a day without high winds, since the glass requires a small window of dry time (dust sticks to wet glass). Hope that's helpful :) - I run a window cleaning company

    Two decor-related tips: First off, paint the ceilings in your rooms a lighter version of the walls, as in a 20/80 mix where 20% of the color is the same as your walls and the other 80% is a complementary white. Secondly, you will be able to find the fabrics you want online. Try Mood first and then just search for decorator fabrics. Life-changing.
    Just have to say that I love your decor-related videos just as much as your gardening ones. Our decorating styles are very similar. ~ Lisa
    PS - The lamp behind you can't decide whether it wants to turn off or on. It's going through the most distracting calisthenics behind your head. Finally, make as many or as few videos as your life can manage. We'll be fine with that number, whatever it is.

    Please, take this with a grain of salt. I am a long time viewer and you give me so much inspiration! I love garden design and I am going to school for this. Keep the west side brick pathway separate from your main entrance. Let it lead to somewhere immaculate, like the cut flower garden... or a fountain or small water feature in front of the cut flower garden. As for the main entry pathway, let it be its own vista. Maybe have the main entry pathway wider then the west side pathway so that it really draws your eye and tells any visitor that’s where they are supposed to enter.
    Having the two paths “merge” over the gravel is what the main issue is. If it were paved and had a brick path engraved within the pavement I think there wouldn’t be any issue. Idk? Just my opinion. Tough and expensive decisions. Whatever you may do it will be amazing! đŸ€

    I have to admit, that everyday after work and taking care of chores, I can't wait to relax and see if Laura and Aaron have a new video for us. But I totally understand your busy life, and we are just happy to have what you share. Hoping you'll be able to keep your Sabbath Days for God and family- Don't worry about us.

    If God can rest on Sunday, so can you. 💗

    I like the idea of the 2 sidewalks meeting each other and also the idea of the sidewalk being wider, I think you would be happier with it when done.

    I love the final outcome of the mantle I was vibing with it. Maybe that’s my style?? Still learning what I like and don’t.

    About the ceiling color, think about a soft yellow too, if you even like yellow. It adds such a beautiful softness to a room. And bonus, it's the only color that plays well with all others.

    I'm with Aaron 10 isn't enough I planted 13 bareroot fruit trees and I want more because I know I won't get much fruit for 2yrs and I'm real excited about my spice zee nectaplum I planted in front of our house because of the beautiful burgundy foliage:) hopefully my wife will grow to love it.

    That Dewalt pump sprayer is definitely something to look into. Thanks for the idea.
