- Good morning! I got a few projects done outside yesterday- some of them were the type of things that you keep 'meaning to do', but keep putting off for some reason. It felt so good! I'm loving the new look my front urns now have, and the new mulch in the Versailles garden makes everything look so complete. It's been a touch cooler the past couple days and it makes me so much more motivated to get things done. Yay! Hope you all have a great day, and thanks for watching! 😃 ~Laura

CZcams is sending me to these old videos. Appreciating how much both the garden and Laura and channel has grown!
Everything always looks great when mulched!! My favorite part of gardening is standing back and admiring how nice it looks after mulch is laid down. 😊
When do you sleep Laura ?
Love this gentle update and new project videos. It feels like you are walking me around your garden chatting to me. That's what makes your videos so enjoyable. None of your projects are too complicated and resonates with most house gardens. Thank you
I wish I had your energy, Laura. Were you always like this? I guess when one finds his passion , and surrounded by supportive people one will have that joy and positive energy to do whatever it is your heart desires. Keep making your instructive videos. You inspire me a lot. 👌🌹❤️😘👍
This is five years old, and what changes in plants since then. Wonderful to see.
Laura you're an awesome person having to share your gardening skills and ideas with us! I love your garden! It's like my virtual garden too! Thank you so much.
It's nice to see the beginning of your garden.
I understand the frustration, hence the use of the landscape fabric. Felt the same, and put landscape fabric down in a few new beds years ago. It was a new bed, and plants were new too, not established like yours. Maybe two years later, I was adding plants, digging through the fabric, and I noticed that the older plants had roots that were growing on top of and through the fabric, not down into the ground, when I pulled some of it up, I noticed a grey tinge to the ground, with small furrows across all of the ground. It looked so unhealthy, that I felt I had to pull it up, just for the health of the older plants, and for the existing soil. What a job, because there was two years worth of mulch on top. As I pulled it up, the ground continued to show the same results. So, I have now resorted to cardboard, even though it is far from permanent. It degrades, yes, but that is a very good thing for the soil. Replacing it every two years may be a chore, but as my garden matures, I have less to cover and I have become much better at it. The soil is healthy with lots of worms, and no weeds when covered with cardboard. So, I am not a fan of landscape fabric, but your experiences are far greater than mine, so much good luck with it.
I really liked that you showed your process for laying down the fabric and mulch. I am getting ready to lay fabric and have bindweed to hopefully smother out. Your videos are so informative!
Love watching y'all work in the yard. Everything looks so good!
margaret pervier that’s awesome you enjoy watching me I like to watch all
I just can't believe how much you get done. That is hard physical work.
Wildflower wind up going on my day today so beautiful morning baby
Wildflower wind I agree, this is a lot of hard work. I used to spend many hours a day in my yard when I was in my twenties but then I had kids and got away from it for awhile. My kids are older now and I have more time to myself so I thought I would start spending that time outside in the flower beds but my body is not used to all this physical work. There is a definite difference in what I was capable of in my twenties and what I am capable of in my forties, I am really sore. lol These videos are a great motivation for me and I really appreciate being able to put them on in the morning to get moving and at the same time I'm learning so much about gardening that I did not know in my earlier years. I just love these videos!
Ahhh I never want the time spent in your garden to end!
🎡🎠🎢 Our County Fair just ended Sunday. My backyard and garden flow right into the fairgrounds, by the horse barn. It is a fun place to live, and magical for the little ones in our family. It's a slice of old-fashioned Americana. LUV IT! 🐴🐑🐖🐄🐓
Being able to enjoy a beautiful area is worth all the work. Very gratifying use of time.
Seeing your application and installation of landscape cloth is helpful. We all have a spot or two that need it.
Eeek, bindweed! I actually dug over one of my gardens two years ago to get out every bit of bindweed root! It's about 12x10 and has our blueberry bushes in it. I removed everything else and did war against the bindweed. It was labor intensive but worth it.
Your property is absolutely gorgeous! Just getting better and better.
Really enjoyed this longer video, even if it didn't feel like 20min. Guess I can watch you guys for hours. Take it easy & happy planting!! 😊🌻🌹🌳
Edemamee will you send me the video to my phone I can watch it with amiga
As a gardener I love your videos, but I am super against landscape fabric for keeping weeds down. Once a weed seed lands on top of the landscape fabric that's it, the weeds' roots will be so entrenched in the fabric they will be impossible to take out. I'd love to hear your response to this!
Thank you very much for all your videos and all your information!
You have done that beautifully,I am learning a lot from you , thanks and take care of yourself too.
boxwoods look so neat & pretty,what a great job you are doing with your beautiful gardens !
It looks fantastic, Laura!! Such nice, crisp edges and the dark compost sets it all off...beautiful!
SO interesting to see you do use fabric to keep back weeds. I'd never noticed that before. Even the older videos have a lot of great tips. Have a good July! linda from NE
I can tell you don't have trouble with deer due to the hostas looking so beautiful. Try this with really hard weeds I take a water bottle and fill with Round Up and put the stems into the bottle and just wait. The weeds drink in the Round Up and die. I know it takes time and many water bottles but it works. So happy about the baby.
Cathy Brown I need to try that tip!
Oh My Gosh Laura, you are such a gorgeous, generous and talented person. I love your videos, they are so helpful and inspiring. Thank you 🙏 . Laura ... bringing peace to the world ... one beautiful garden 🪴 at a time 😇.
Love and miss this style of video.
Interesting to see how much the property has evolved in a short period of time.
I love watching your videos so much. Thanks for the weed fabric tip. I know there are weed fabric haters but this stuff is amazing. Weeds are ruining my life right now since we just built our house last year. We had a lot of bare dirt and a very wet spring so the weeds are out of control and have taken so much time to deal with. I can’t wait until I have weed fabric down, drip line installed and the areas mulched! It will be amazing!!!
Loved how you said, when showing that empty spot, that you have an opportunity to plant something :). Just bought some penstemon too, to plant this year
I have learned so much by watching your videos. I will be implementing a lot of your ideas & tips.
We bought a new house that sits between the fairgrounds and the high school. So fun, small town, wish we had a Home Depot though. Looks great!
Enjoy watching you guys get your yard together 👌👏👏 💕
You are the Queen Gardener. I wish I had the time and resources to devote. Enjoy your young life girly. You are amazing. So is that partner of yours. 👏🏼❤️👏🏼
Love your videos. Full of hard work, good advice, and beautiful yard/container arrangements. LOVE to try your brand!!!! Have a great day!
THANK YOU -YOUR PLACE IS LOOKING GREAT
I had the same block in our last home from the previous owner and it was lined up just like yours. It's great for retaining walls but not so hot for edging. We did not have money to spend so I just turned them to face up and with "new" flat sides I was able to put the weed cloth right up to it and helped to keeps the weeds from sneaking out. I loved the way it looked with the roughness of the block facing up, it made it look kind of like stone. The Con to the project is you have to dig kind of a deep trench to set them in place. So just a thought and maybe it could work for you too. Keep up the great videos!
Your videos are really inspiring me to garden. Thanks for all your hard work!! 😊
Oh sweet! I have 2 of the proven winners lovey dovey petunias here in Phx az and they are doing awesome at 110 bazillion degrees!!
So pretty. Thanks for the tips on the landscape fabric. Definitely going to try your brand.
Love these kind of longer videos.
Love a good mulch job. ✌️
AJ Barker I hate it.... pain in the arse.
Congratulations on your baby l am in the uk and have learnt so much from you,l don’t have the strength anymore but watch all your videos
Richest soil I've ever seen. Anything should grow in it.
Hey! That pentsemon plant looks really cool! I'd never heard of it till you mentioned it in this video. Very nice! I'm learning from you, that we can plant all summer long, and change things up as needed, which is great. I normally plant in late spring, early summer, then water and weed and necessary. I think this will mean more trips to the greenhouse, yeah! As always, great video!
Thank you for the inspiration. Always something new and pretty in your yard.
My experience from living in the deep south where rain and heat and humidity and weeds are rampant every year, is that landscape fabric is usually a waste of money and effort in putting it down. And here's why: When putting mulch on top of the fabric, eventually weed seeds germinate in the mulch and grow on top of the fabric, defeating the purpose of the fabric all together. And weeds will even come up occasionally from under the fabric. And it is so aggravating to be working on someones flower bed and try to dig a hole for a new plant when I find there is fabric underneath the mulch to cut through and deal with. What works best for me is to put down a think layer of pine straw (baled pine needles) on a flower bed. This chokes out all weeds and grass, with the rare exception that can be pulled or sprayed. It should be replenished every 6 months by just throwing a little new pinestraw on top of the old. It will be thick at first, but will settle down to an acceptable thickness in a week or two, and if you don't like the look of pine straw for mulch, you can top it off with a layer of the mulch that you prefer. The only way I would ever suggest using fabric would be if the situation is one like a you-pick tomato location, where the fabric would be put down on the tomato rows and left exposed, where no top mulch is needed. In this case, fabric can work very well. Having said all of this, the situation for weed control in other parts of the country may be different than where I live, and the landscape fabric usage may be more feasible than it is down here in the panhandle of Florida. . . One day, I would like for you to make a vid of all that you maintain, and how you do it and hold down a job at your nursery. Maybe sharing with us a schedule of your work at home from day to day, or letting us know if you have help with the vast flower beds to do it all, etc. Your videos are awesome and keep up the good work.
Your garden is beautiful. Love how you do it yourself. 🌿
Dessa trädgårdstips och tricks är enkla och prisvärda och hjälper dig att få de bästa resultaten i år!
Thanks for filming Enjoyed
Excellent info!
Thanks for educating me about the bindweed roots. I struggle with it in my hellebore bed!
Wow......you amaze me with all that energy!!!! Great plant selections🌸🌿🌺🌱. Blessings to you three!!!♥️♥️♥️
Love it! A 20 min video is just what I need in the morning lol
You are such a hard worker!
I also deal with morning glory in my area. We train it to grow around our plants for a nice ground cover. Also, the flowers on them are really pretty. Like supertunia Bordeaux pretty.
Can’t believe I’m just seeing this video. Always wondered where this video was because I’ve watched all the other versailles videos and don’t recall seeing this process. Thanks again!
Oh boy, im so glad I saw this! I was just telling my husband that morning glories would be nice in backyard, yikes!!!!
The bind weed is a relative of the beautiful morning glory. I don't think it grows the tubers that make bindweed so hard to kill.
Beautiful beautiful I really love watching you and your husband. Beautiful home and gardens. I am learning so much from you and hoping to use some of you technique in my garden this year and around my house. Thankful
Yes! 20 minutes! Love it!
This Vermont gardener is stunned at how you can sink a staple or a spade and never hit a rock!
Our house growing up was like that with the fair noise. Good Memory.
I really enjoy your videos. Very informative and great personality. Looking at your place which is beautiful, how do you get to all these plants. I feel stressed and overworked as if I was gardening with you😂😉
We have a load of morning glory in our garden and I am always digging it out. 🤭
Do you have a video just on drip systems? how do they work & their benefits/disadvantages? I'm so curious as to your thoughts & how to install one in my yard. :)
Ur so amazing U know all kinds of flowers in every season that fit for planting.
So pretty! I love hearing the frogs!
Congratulations on you're pregnancy. As you begin to show more it may become a little more difficult to get up and down sitting on the ground and suggest a push cart. I went to a "vintage store" and found an awesome push cart for my gardening and really enjoy it and only paid $15, for it. It was light brown so painted it, attached a couple of kitchen rods, and a tool rack and mounted them for hanging my tool items, gloves, and on the bottom carry all of my soil items etc. I think you would love it and can make a video putting it together.
My mom planted morning glory in her front garden and I never understood why. It takes over everything!
I found you by watching the thuja evergreen wall since I’m putting about 25 in my yard next week and now that I’ve found you I can’t stop watching your videos! Your yard is GOALS for real.. I just wish I had the knowledge and $$ for all the things I want to do, also you made me laugh when you ate the small tomato that fell! That’s something I’d do
It looks wonderful!
I love the way this section is turning out! so pretty and graceful. tfs
What a stunning yard and gardens you have!!
I just put these in my new garden. Love them!! Lowe’s had the more than half off too !
I love to garden in the morning.
Great video. I bet you sleep so well at night. You're such a hard worker!
I love pestomons I have a diff variety mine are very colorful pink and purpled love your videos thx I am pleasantly surprised this year my lupine are so prolific they are beautiful from mich
Gorgeous flower garden.
Ur garden is looking geat and you look gorgeous 🙋♀️😎
Looks beautiful !
Everything looks beautiful!!!!
I'd love a video on edging options! I have no idea what to do w my front beds. Right now they have terrible shaped bricks edging them and it's so ugly!
Loving the music at the end of the video ☺️
❤️Question❤️ first the garden looks great!!! Why not place the drip line UNDER THE FABRIC?
Wondering about that for my future garden project. My Lovah Man loves a very formal garden and box hedging so I'll be doing tons of that soon enough.
Thanks so much and I'm so excited to see that beautiful baby boy running around the garden!! Hugs you and hubby Laura! May GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY 🙏🏻
Getting ready to do the same thing with mulch and rocks 😳
Love all your videos. Please give us a tour of your potting shed
Mulch with cardboard or heavy construction paper. It's beneficial to your soil and slows down the weeds too!
Could you do a video on how you keep up with your yard? Routines for watering, weeding etc. How you fit it into your day as a mother, and home keeper.
I went out to buy landscaping fabric this morning. Couldn’t remember what kind you used. Came home, found one of your older videos, re-watched and ordered Dewit online. Thanks.
You guys are very industrious!!!
Could you please do a video about how to dispose of garden waste? I like to compost as much as I can, but I know weeds & diseased foliage shouldn't be composted...but what can I do with them to avoid filling up the landfill?
Burn?
Great job, looks fantastic!
Thanks for this video: it was very informative !!!
Could you please also include the following info :
1. The black mulch that you used : a link for that (and its price). Does that only come in bags or can it be ordered in bulk ?
2. The soaking tubing that you used from HD : a link for that would be much appreciated as well
Great video Laura enjoyed every minute of it👍🏻
Hi Laura, I am a new viewer to your channel and I can't believe how much I have learned about gardening from your videos. I look forward to watching them! Can you tell me how to fertilize soil, my perennials don't seem to be doing well and I think I need to improve my soil. Thanks!
your garden looks amazing and you look beautiful :)
Love this video, I love seeing how your plants are doing. I have learned a lot by watching your videos.
200,000 subs congrats!!!!!! Loved the video.🍃
So beautiful!
Thanks so much. Just beautiful!!!
Hi Laura! Love your channel! Thank you for all of the info and ideas you share! I live in Central Oregon, zone 4. We get freezes by the end of August. I would love to have a drip system, but hubby thinks our cold weather would not accommodate the above ground watering system. Could you expound on this for our kind of climate and what to do to make it successful?
GARDEN GOALS😍😍😍
