    Good Morning GA Friends!!!! I planted the Pollypetitie in a little space dedicated to my Grandmothers. Her name was Polly and that shade of purple was her favorite. Thanks to Laura and Aaron I now have "rooms" and spaces in my yard that are thoughtful and on purpose. I learn something daily from you all, thank you for everything!

I live in a zone 2a in central Alaska where not many things I’m dying to grow are perennial. Thankfully in a week I will be moving to NW Florida and will be in a zone 8b. I can’t wait to try out all of the things!! Thank you for all of the information, beauty, entertainment, and so much more you provide us viewers!

  • @CYRiPKK1
    @CYRiPKK1 Před 2 lety +80

    Not related to this video, but I think an excellent video idea for the highlights channel is for Aaron to gather footage from over the years and put together a “what to do in the garden” by month series. It would be nice to see what Laura is sowing, planting, pruning every month in one video. I would imagine it to be especially helpful for those of us who don’t live in zone 6, who can’t follow Laura step by step to have a quick guide/check-list to refer to.

    • @heathercartwright7677

      Yes, yes, yes, I totally agree with this, I'm in a zone 9 so I have to adjust a lot to earlier or later since our growing season is so long, but I also appreciate how hot it gets up there because it's like that for us down here, plus lots of humidity though🥵😆

    • @lmhatfield46

    I have been watching your videos for a few years. Here in Wyoming we are the same zone and similar atmospheres. We bought a home on an acre and a half. Very little was done for the landscape. It's taken a long time to just get our lawn healthy. I have learned so much from your videos. This year I finally was brave enough to plant containers. With all your videos, I had beautiful, showy container flowers. They turned out beautifully! Thank you! I wish I could have you help us design our landscape. I really need to learn how to set up drip irrigation like you have set up. Love your videos and advice! And love watching your little family grow! You guys are amazing!

    @barbll000 Před 2 lety

    You're very right that smaller shrubs can give a texture or colour to go in areas where other larger shrubs are. When you said that I instantly thought about the layering that they would create in combination with the larger shrubs. Great video Laura.

    I love your channel! I'm fairly new to gardening and am planning many landscape projects. I love so many of the flowers and shrubs you introduce. I'll be getting quite a few over this season and next. I'm concentrating on more perrennials this season and will introduce several shrubs into my landscape next year. Maybe a few this year. I'm enjoying learning about all the options. 💖

    I love Laura’s lists of plants, because it helps me focus on one particular consideration, which is so much easier for my overloaded mind. One comment though: I find that despite labels saying “deer resistant”, most plants are chewed to bones by the deer, especially in the spring, so I would treat that information with some caution.

    Thank you Laura for videos such as these. I love flowering shrubs but because I only have so much room due to our pool and remaining yard area, I can't have too many or too big. Now I have suggestions to go to my nursery with, that won't overpower the beds near the pool.

    I really need this advice.As I built my garden all of flowers I loved their personalities showed me why you don’t plant too many cone flowers, they love to take over the garden, black eyed Susan’s do the same and bee balm can’t be planted too close to the house because they get moldy without air circulation. After pulling out all that Out I was at a loss of what to put in in now. I’ld already made mistakes of planting shrubs that quickly out grew their allotted spaces, these new varieties look just the thing! And they’re all so pretty! I’m excited again to find the best combinations for my yard, thank you so much for this video!

    Great list Laura! Deer thoughts (East End LI, NY, zone 7A): from my garden 🪴 aka deer buffet 😭 deer looooove the tater tot arbs, yet ignore the Firelight Tidbits for my more yummy big leaf hydrangeas. Panicle hydrangeas for the win!! My tiny wine Ninebarks are thriving and ignored by deer, and we’ve had so many monarchs on our buddleia this year! Deer not interested in it at all. We are going to plant a hedge of the Winecraft Black Smokebush next year to replace some Japanese cedars that the deer munched to death this past Winter. And a taller privacy hedge of Royal Purple smokebush too!! Thank you for all the great inspiration Laura!!

    Laura, I had 9 Rose of Sharon pop up next to each other so I divided them into 3 stems each and braided them and then braided the 3 groups into a 9 stemmed tree. It looks so cool and it has 3 colours.
