    Suggestion: A calendar with your photos of floral arrangements. Wouldn’t that be stunning! I still use a wall calendar.
    Who would buy one????

  • @carolynmangipudi9898
    @carolynmangipudi9898 Před 4 lety +125

    Haha..I had a giggle regarding Aaron with the drill being tightened and the karma from pulling the sunflower.....funny .... You are a great team. Alot of hardwork, I appreciate you sharing your life daily. Thank you

  • @rcronin1
    @rcronin1 Před 4 lety +51

    I'm only a few minutes in the video but I had to stop to comment and say how much I just adore you and Aaron - how you talk to each other and work together. You are truly an inspiration for others!! 😍🥰

  • @paulet990

    I was surprised that auger didn't puncture the drip tape! Aaron has it under control!

    @FlowerHillFarm Před 4 lety +6

    Hi Flower Friends! I am growing so many of these same varieties here in Upstate New York where I have a flower farm! I also recently posted a video where I was planting mine-- I believe I have 350 plants this year. I'm excited to watch Laura dive in to cut flowers-- there was not a lot of cut flower content on CZcams when I started documenting my journey last year. My dahlias are about a foot tall now and I'll be pinching half of them so I don't delay ALL my blooms. Always a joy to watch!

  • @lizpoole82
    @lizpoole82 Před 4 lety +37

    Is it weird that I am so excited about all the floral arrangements! I mean, even though I didn't plant a thing, I feel so invested. Hahaha! Can't wait to see these beauties! That Bridal Mix is gonna be glorious! Thanks again for another video!

  • @alivingston2490
    @alivingston2490 Před 4 lety +27

  • @suethomas6877
    @suethomas6877 Před 4 lety +61

    Love Aaron’s measuring technique for the poles but I absolutely loved the fast footage of the clouds floating by....graceful and peaceful.
    Love how you two work together. Looks like an army of people on your property at one point?

  • @13dulcie
    @13dulcie Před 4 lety +10

  • @annad1921
    @annad1921 Před 4 lety +53

    At the end of the growing season, are you going to be pulling up all of the tubers?
    if replanting, how many seasons can get out of them?
    Really enjoyed the video and the photos at the end! Thank you for taking the time to do that for us. 😘

    • @LS-el7sf
      @LS-el7sf Před 4 lety +10

      - I was also wondering how many seasons you get out of your tubers???

    • @juliehinkel608
      @juliehinkel608 Před 4 lety +18

      Please do a digging and storage video at the end of the season, as I’m just learning and lose about half of my tubers each winter during storage.

    • @breeking3333
      @breeking3333 Před 4 lety +3

      She did say she’ll lift and store them at the end of the season. It’s too cold there for dahlias to survive...typically. Never know weather these days.

  • @LB-vl3qn
    @LB-vl3qn Před 4 lety +26

    So many lovely varieties. Can't wait to see what this new land looks like in a couple months.
    Poor Aaron; my back cried for you. Glad to see you two had some help with this project. ~ Lisa

  • @beth8234
    @beth8234 Před 4 lety

    My grandma used to plant a couple of rows of dahlias in her vegetable garden every year. She would cut some for my sister and I to take a bouquet to our teachers on the first day of school when we were little.

  • @viola-suzieq
    @viola-suzieq Před 4 lety +10

    I am so happy that you finally had time to plant your Dahilia's and Gladiola's. I love my Gladiolas and I add to them every year (this is my 3rd year). I have a mini that is red with white on the edges that is so beautiful. I know your not a red person, but you'd love them. My second variety is a light pink with a darker pink on tips and their gorgeous. As my glads bloom, I pick and put them in a vase to enjoy indoors. Two years ago I planted 4 Dahilia's with a lavender tone, lost 2 first season and I'm very happy 2 came back this year. I love them and plan to add more next year, and will need to stock up on snail bait because in Florida they are a constant battle for every plant and tree in my yard.
    My neighbor passed away first of May, she was a Master Gardener, she loved her plants and had many in big planters. Her family is from the north and no one is caring for her plants and things are dying. I bought her Meyer Lemon tree from her son and a few empty planters. So, yesterday I took a walk across the street to see how things were doing as we've had very little rain and I hate to see plants die. Things were looking very sad and I could not stop myself because I love my flowers and plants I started weeding the pots and gave everything a good watering. I did it for her, her love of flowers and for those poor plants that need life.
    PS - I can relate to opening a live plant struggling to open it with dry soil, then poof, it's all over you. LOL

  • @tamerarobinson3166

    So I thought it would be really fun to see pictures of each area in your yard throughout the years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019. Even with the ugly privet hedges and the bare spots and see what you have done to it up to today. I love your designs and I love how you love gardening as much as I do.

    • @tamerarobinson3166
      @tamerarobinson3166 Před 4 lety

      Also I was thinking it would be fun to see the same month of every year so like April, May, June, July, August, etc. of all the different years.

  • @cathybranly1839
    @cathybranly1839 Před 4 lety +17

    Okay, I had to laugh when you said you got dirt on your face while planting 275 dahlias. I practically look like I've been mud wrestling when I plant anything in our heavy Virginia clay, especially when it's muggy! Lots of activities in the background-even the cat! The flower varieties are breathtaking; starting my list for next year!

  • @greenthumbelina7331
    @greenthumbelina7331 Před 4 lety +9

    Do I see extra workers in this video? Have you hired people to help with planting the new property? I definitely understand that another pair or two of hands would be helpful! I love how much you and Aaron lovingly tease each other, I also enjoy watching the two of you work together to make your property come alive with beauty! I'm looking forward to seeing these dahlias grow and bloom, and I can't wait to see all of the floral arrangements you will create! ~Margie

    I enjoy all your videos. You guys are such a great inspiration!! I don’t have large space, but I plant at my in-laws family cottage, which needed lots of maintenance in terms of planting and gardening. My partner’s Ama, who used to live there. She is so thrilled with the results. I started lots of plants from seed like you did, everyone is in the family is so amazed how great the plants turned out. Thank you guys so making such awesome videos!!

    Dahlias are the national flower of Mexico. Last year I had some grown from seed and then transplanted the tubers to the ground in winter and totally forgot about them, until they started sprouting a couple weeks ago!

    You will be excited to know that baling twine also comes in BLACK!!! I buy it at the local AG supply store in a huge commercial roll and use it for everything in the garden - it disappears to the eye.

    What a tremendous amount of work - what great abundance you will have. Last year I learned to lengthen Dahlia vase life by first placing them in hot water (160 degrees) for an hour, then the vase. Really helped!

    @lindalisella9825 Před 4 lety

    Just yesterday I viewed the first lesson in Erin's (Floret) summer mini series. It was about Dahlias. The message about pinching was reinforced by both of you. Love it. There are so many mixed messages on the internet about gardening, that it is reassuring to hear the same message from gardeners I trust.

    As I was watching Aaron pound those posts in and drill the holes (glad there was help!) I thought "They'll be tired at the end of this day!" And there are other colors of baling twine at least around here. There's green and tan/brown which would blend in with the flower leaves. Some of it is biodegradable. Thanks for your videos and glad to see you all taking a day off each week. We'll survive not having a Sunday video. I watched one of your older ones as I've just come to watch you in the last year.

    Yay!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 I planted a little over 100, and I’m super excited about them this year. I think yours will be just fine, the tubers looked super healthy. Our weather here in Portland (OR) has been so weird, so they’re not coming along as quickly as I wanted them too, but they grew quiet a bit this weekend. I can’t wait to see your dahlias! It’s going to be such a magical view in this new space, I can’t wait to see it full of gorgeous blooms. 🥰🥰🥰

    I have been following Floret for years. I bought her last book and will buy the new one this year. Like yourself Floret gives information that is gold. Especially for growing, cutting, storing and how to get the best vase life for flowers. You just need Laura’s energy. How are you going weed these flowers without weed mats?

  • @HighConCannibal
    @HighConCannibal Před 4 lety +1

    Today i lost my job as a floral arranger, (owner, and dear friend couldnt handle it anymore :( ) but because of your videos, i didnt lose all hope. I started making a cut flower bed because of you! Now i can still do what i loved about my job. Now i can even decide for myself 100%, since i will have no customers to deal with xD AND, my dahlias are growing SO fast, even a peony tuber i planted is coming up! I wish i just had half as many Dahlias as you though xD

    I am having to plant all my Dahlias in containers, the gophers and voles LOVE them. I am working on a video on that so share in case others are struggling with the dahlia eating varmints. Nothing I have used to deter them has worked for me so far. They ate my alliums too!

    Loved this video, thank you for filming this for us! I had dahlias in my wedding flower arrangements and they have become my absolute favorite flowers. Looking forward to seeing them grow! :)

    How lucky you are to get Floret Dahlias! My cut flower garden that I planted from seeds are all from Floret and I had gotten all of my dahlia tubers from a place she had recommend since she is not selling hers. ❤️

    That's how we stake our green bean rows (100 ft.)but we place the T post 20 ft. apart and run more twine between the top and bottom twine in a zig zag pattern. That would have been a good time to use the tractor and a plow to dig a long trench 6 inches deep then plant and set posts. Can't wait to see them all up and blooming!

    Ha ha Sunflower Karma, I LOVE IT. My hubby and I were just doing a 'joint project' of tree cutting yesterday and I thought of the pair of you.
    I also Love the idea that the Sunflower spirit was like, "Oh take me out of the soil, will ya? How's about a loose chuck on that drill" haha.
    We all like different things, that's for sure. My garden is probably just as much weed as intentional flowers , mainly due to my own inability to keep up with it all myself, but sometimes I think, "You know what, That wild dock looks lovely in that flower border, thanks Flower Spirits for planting it there...or Birds more like.
    I am excited to watch you develop this piece of land.

    I like that you work together and Aaron's measuring system. I started playing catch up on your video's at home on my TV, so that me and my husband can watch. Aaron helping you has gotten my husband involved in my projects and offered to HELP!! Thank you Laura for teaching, inspiring and motivating my hubby.

    Not sure if this question has been asked, but first off really enjoyed this video of shaping bare land to a planting space. Usually it's broken up in a series of videos, but this was nicely compacted...which I can appreciate all the hard work! Looks like you guys have figured out a great system to streamline the process. But my QUESTION!! There was growth on the bulbs. What did you do prior to planting them in the soil? Did you just cut it all down to the "eye"? I thought fresh cuts need time to heel over so they dont rot.

    Just can’t imagine my husband helping me that much but then I forget you all do this for income. Very interesting. Can’t wait to see them. Think I have mine too close. I did get a red orange one yesterday. Yeah.

      Exactly. And when my guy does help, like recently building a "lattice"...its big and ugly and a thrown together wreck 😒😒😒 I have given up on his help. He's bad at it.

    Oh Laura, so beautiful. I love Dahlias. Grew heaps when I lived in Tasmanian, Australia. I live in coastal NSW, now and have a tropical garden but I must admit I do long for the country garden again.

      Only four? Modify your expectations. From all the other CZcams channels I watch, you're probably going to lose a couple. All's I'm sayin' is, don't get discouraged if a couple of 'em don't make it. Best of luck! 🐔🐣🐤🐥

    That will be so amazing!! Can't wait to see the updates on this project!!
    😲
    This was the first year I planted Dahlias (and Gladiolus and 300 bulbs in total, all in containers, all coloured coordinated, too!!) and now I know exactly what I did wrong and I will be saving all of the info for next year!! Some did come up though, a few are already in bloom and they are just stunning!!
    Thankfully I live in a zone where I don't need to dig them up in winter, I have no idea how you'll be doing that!!
    Have a wonderful day!! 😊

    You really have a lot of land to fill. Do you have all of it done in your mind, or a little at a time. Hope your weather stays even so you can keep going. As always I enjoy you and you have really helped me with my garden this year. I totally changed the way I plant flowers in pots. They look so much fuller and I love that. I have had a couple things that didn't like it, so won't put them in together next year. Yes you can change an old dog!! Ha ha! Joyce
