    These are such pretty little blue spruces. I know when I see a vibrant blue color like that in someone’s landscape, it’s noticeably striking and it tends to stop me in my tracks. I really enjoyed seeing the flashback to where this area started. “Like planting in the moon!” What a long way you guys have come! 💚💚💚

    You and Aaron are so patient with your children, showing them how to do things. All to often i see parents in my neighbourhood brushing their kids away with impatience. Their education is so precious particularly on the practicalities of life ❤. Btw is Ken still helping with the video production? You haven’t mentioned him for a while?

I’m a 74 year old lady sitting in Kansas and I’ve been a gardener for about 35 years and I just can’t quit! Thank you for sharing your life with all of us!

    I love the sound of small airplanes.. it reminds me of my grandma who I lost 10 years ago. She had a secret garden and we would plant bulbs and stuff together every year with my cousins. When planting we always had small planes flying overhead. Hearing that sound and being in a calm garden brings me back to the time I had with her.❤ Thank you for your videos. And just as I'm typing this a small plane just came by my house 🌲💘🛩️🌳🪻🌷🏵️🌺

    As a Mississippi gardener, I appreciate that you included the full zone range for the Bonnie Blue!

We planted it in full sun all by it's lonesome on a gentle, downhill slope and it's loving it.
