    We went to buy/dismantle a greenhouse for $100 off of marketplace. It was a score for sure. We arrived and there were quite a few wasps and little nests in the thing! The owner says “Let me go get my paint thinner!” WHAT? He proceeds to tell me that in his college days he painted houses and they put cups of thinner around and it ran off the wasps. Sure enough he poured it into a large solo cup and walked in with it and away they went. The fumes will kill them and they just scatter! 5 minutes later, no more wasps! That tip alone was worth the $100!!! And I got a little green house too!!! ❤️❤️😜

    Hey Aaron, I totally get the mispronounciation or misspelling of your last name. My great-great-great grand father's last name was Lebouthillier (we are a French-Canadian family) but because he had a business and was dealing with anglophones a lot, he changed his last name to Butler to make it easier for his clients to pronounce! And every child/grand child ever since has had this last name. Who knows, maybe we are cousins many, many times removed! Thank you to both of you for being so inspiring.

      I have a screened area with a fan for breaks. I find the heat/ humidity easier if you aren't running in and out of the air conditioning. And yeah, I'm wet to the skin from start to stop.

    I'm so glad to hear yall say that heat PLUS humidity is also hard for yall. I struggle with yard work so much here in South Carolina and watching Laura be such an absolute dynamo with her yard work makes me feel bad sometimes. It's comforting to know she struggles with that too.

    Re the Honeynut butternut squash, I was just looking to see if they can be grown in the UK and apparently as well as being more flavourful than the bigger varieties they are nutritionally better too (twice the amount of beta carotene as "standard" butternut squash) so win win!!

    Sometimes I hear you say that you have already done a video on that subject. Or you have already shown us how you planted grass. But I don't think you realize how much we enjoy just watching the process over and over again in different parts of your land. It's you we watch and take delight in. It's like having a special friend that lets us into her life. And it gets some of us through the hard times.

    Considering you are a mother with the two young children, a huge house and property - you are doing pretty good to have it all together for 90% of the time. Well done. It does not matter at this stage if you do not have the matching curtain on the chicken coop. Having said that - I am quite sure you will go upstairs now and find that other half.

      @@d.wheeler3652 Thank you for pointing out that the smaller ones are not necessarily safe either. We do have a lot of clay. Where we used to live we also had clay and soil that was quite compacted. I ended up getting a thing that looked like an enormous flathead screwdriver for our hammerdrill and basically jackhammered my first planting holes.

    FYI! Amazing wasp killing trick: Use a pump sprayer (I use a 1 gallon) and fill it with water, add a dash of liquid dish soap. Pump it so the pressure shoots the water like 6 feet away from you, and then cover the wasp nest with it first thing in the morning before the sun warms the wasps to fly, or at dusk when they've returned to the nest. The soap does 2 things: plugs their breathing holes on their thorax and sticks their wings in place so they can't fly. All the wasps are dead within 2 minutes. Then you can get the nest down without risk of being stung! I've taken out about 7 large nests this summer using this method.

I am dealing with acidic soil, from pine trees and also I have beach sand, we are near a bay, wish I could say I our house is on the water, but we are not. .some areas the soil is red, nearly clay color from high iron.....we all seem to have struggles if not with insects, soil.. finding balance of healthy for our landscape to be happy & thrive..

    I feel y’all when you talk about the humidity. I live in north central Florida, zone 9a. And I used to live in PA, and it was humid there as well. But Lawd, when you walk out of an air conditioned house during the summer, just getting to the car you deflate! And then your just waiting for the air conditioning in the car to hurry up and cool down the car. We get average 50 inches of rainfall a year. And ironically it’s feels nicest on a rainy summer day, until the sun comes out and then your melting again.

    This may sound crazy, but when the work just has to get done and it's hot outside, I've set up one of those canvas pop-up 10 x 10 "tents" to provide shade. They are easily movable with two people. Not only are they helpful to provide shade for the gardener, but the plants appreciate the shade too when it's so hot!

    Container Veggie Gardening: Greens, including Swiss Chard, and Carrots do great in containers! I’ve grown tomatoes in large containers with great success. Flowers of all kinds. Herbs, grow like weeds, anywhere! I just learned of/bought seeds for a Bush Okra. Potatoes are great in 5-gallon pail size or bigger. This year I’m trying sweet potatoes. The better question might be, what CAN’T grow in a container? The biggest concern is in containers, you grow what you can eat fresh. It’s hard to grow enough to preserve.

    I just want to comment real quick on the drill/auger. I also purchased the fancy new DeWalt Drill (cement, e-clutch) Drill with multiple Augers just a couple of weeks ago. Aaron mentioned that it's heavy & I will agree with that. Just the drill is 6# then you add the battery & auger & oh my goodness. It's a beast, makes me sore however that's fine with me. Anything in the garden with a little pain means my job is so much easier. I've been using augers but I wanted the ability to use big ones. I will say I'm 70, feel old only when I garden. If I can handle that drill/auge,r I think other women can. Just be prepared.
