watchin' full ads just for that sweet baby😊 & Russell!🐈
my bubby I thought I was the only one! Ever since they mentioned that in a Q&A! Hahahahaha. I feel like that’s my contribution to them for the loveliness this brings my life. 😊
Wouldn’t you love to be Laura’s neighbor? Imagine sitting outside with your morning coffee and looking at the beautiful gardens!!! 🌸
Yup, that would be nice!
Yes that will be awesome!
Not sure, I might feel a little intimidated and lazy next door to Laura!
I think that at some point in every video. :-)
@@mikemalone9896 , maybe she would help out😂
That was a good idea to show one planter that did not get much light. The planters look beautiful.
Yes. Now I understand why my plants look like that...not enough sun
Love the updates! Aaron did have a good idea to show the difference. I like the "all the same" look. Although I am sure that anything you do will be awesome!
Wow, what a difference with sun and no sun! Thanks for sharing.
All the same. Looking down the driveway and seeing all the same planters is just so formal. Very satisfying. 🤣
Idea for next year: plant the purple fountain grass in the center in all containers then plant different colors/plants. Example every other container purple fowers and then pink flowers. Do different flowers in different shades of purple and different flowers in different shades of pink. Whatever you do will be wonderful and I'll watch your video. You guys are awesome!!
I'm glad your husband decided to put that planter under a tree. Especially for ppl that are new beginners on planting new stuff. TFS jen
Having them all planted the same gives it the WOW factor. It looks absolutely beautiful!!!
I love the look of all the same flowers along the fence. Less business and easy on the eyes. The flowers look beautiful. 👍
I think, as usual, that you did a fantastic job. You are the Serena Williams of the flower world. You are always a winner.
Morning!!!! I’d like to see different looks. Maybe a 🌈 look!!! How fun would that be!!!! Thanks as always Aaron and Laura!!!
That would be cool looking...but Laura doesn't care for red. I may try that next year in an area of our smaller garden.
Guardians Minifarm she doesn’t seem to mind cooler toned reds so she just may consider it.
I definitely believe that you should continue planting the same combination in all the pots. Just like your hayracks on the other fence, the uniformity of all the same plants in the same pots makes a bigger impact. This is more pleasing to the eye than trying to readjust to a different combination of plants in each pot. It's so interesting to be at one end of the fence, then look back and see the fountain grass so uniformly and the rings of purple and yellow around each one. If there were different combos in each pot, even if you planted the same thriller in every one, would seem helter skelter instead of uniform. It's absolutely amazing how well these pots have performed with yours and Aaron's feeding/spraying and topping off water consistency. Thanks for this UPDATE guys! 💜
Those pots - absolutely stunning, I LOVE mass planting, you really absorb what beauty you see without any distraction !
Love to see fall colored flowers around your fountain grass for this season. Your containers look beautiful.
I don't think you will enjoy the final look, as much, if you put something different in each pot next year. I think the uniformity of planting is what makes this particular showcase so dazzling. You will end up with different heights, different colors, different structures, different shapes in each pot. Your eye won't know where to go. Some will perform better than others... All uniformity will be lost. I think you will DEFINITELY need at least one common element to each plot in order to pull it off.
I think it would be fun to plant them all different! I love seeing your creativity in your floral designs!
Whatever you do will be beautiful, but it would be fun to see different flowers in all the pots. Love everything you guys do, and looking forward to seeing more!
Maybe try doing 2 different mixes for next year and then alternate them along the fence. I agree with Aaron about showing the difference with full sun and little sun. Maybe try the vertigo grass in these pots for next year
LOVE this combination with the grass. Really liked last year, but this is even better. I think there is so much variety in your garden that doing them the same makes more sense, imo.
I like all the same flowers in the containers. Thanks for showing the container without much sun. I hate it didn’t do well but I appreciate seeing what happened as a result.
Glorious is the right word to describe those containers! Well done!
I like the uniformity of them all being the same design. They look gorgeous this year, I'll have to plant that limoncello next year.
Those are beautiful! I love how you use natural, organic products.
These are so beautiful! God bless you and your precious family 😘💖🙏🏻
Love how this looks with all of them the same. Love to see you do another planting like this one.
I love the height of the fountain grass! Adds a lot the fence. They are beautiful!!😍
So glad to see this video. Really appreciate the inserted photos and videos and sadly I also am glad you had the trial pots in the shade. So thank you. Hope your family is doing wonderful!
Wow that did make a huge difference. They turned out so pretty. All your gardens look awesome. 💚💜💙
GORGEOUS. Thank you for inspiring me to grow Purple Fountain Grass.
Love the same colors in these pots. It’s so striking 😍
Great education on the impact of light or the lack of it. Plus your solution to the aphids problem. Thanks so much!
I'd love to see an end of season garden tour and get updates on a lot of your projects!
Wow they look beautiful. I love when you show updates. Good idea on showing the difference sun makes .
So very pretty!! Must make you smile when you drive in!! 😊 How about next year you do 3 or 4 in the middle different than the outer ones? Something tall...a big bold plant....and then different around the bottom, for the middle ones. Then....the outer ones with a lower flowy plant with some others around cascading over the pots?? Yes? No? You know best, Laura. Everything you do is beautiful!! ❤
Looks beautiful! Thank ya'll for going ahead and planting the one on the end. To tell folks how important the correct watering & light requirements are only goes so far...but SHOWING them will REALLY make a difference! :)
Next year, you should plant whatever makes your heart sing! You inspired me to do my own pots with Proven Winners petunias and they turned out beautifully. My sister said that she had never seen flowers as big or as beautiful except at Disney World. ☺️
Brilliant showing difference in lights. Thank you Aaron for suggesting it. The visual example is very helpful!
I'm glad you showed what happened with no sun. Amazing difference. I'd like to see something totally different just to see how it looks. Maybe every other one different. idk but I live what you already have. Love always what ideas you put out.
I would love to see those containers planted up every other one with a different arrangement!
Those look amazing!
I think it would be really striking to see 2 combinations alternating in them.
Even if we know they need sun, seeing the difference in your flowers really hits home, I think if you go different flowers in the pots next yr, maybe keep the colors kinda the same for a nice flow. I just planted some purple fountain grass in a fall planter, which I've never done, I mean fall planters, added a pale purple aster, 3 tiny white mums, and stole a purple an white verbena from another pot for it. Wish I'd stumbled onto your channel in Feb, you gave me the gumption I needed to get my butt in gear an do the gardening I've been thinking about for yrs, Thanks for the kick in the pants.! Next yr my yard will be looking Fabulous, Thanks to you an Arron, and I have my cat Coyote tagging along.
Wow your lanterns are Gorgeous . Hats off to you 🎩❤️😊👍
Those planters are so pretty! I love the color combo. Tfs💕💕💕
Thanks for the comparison of sunlight vs shade. Definitely would like more videos like that
Wish I could afford those pots! I say you do all different pots next year, but maybe have a unifying element. So, say they all have the same color scheme but w/completely different plants in each one. Or pick 1 or 2 predominant repeat colors but again, w/all different plants. Or use one element repeated such as the same thriller, or spiller, but the rest of the plants totally different in colors, shapes, in each pot. It’s a cool challenge to use all different plants cuz it’s gonna show us the variety of sun loving plants for the many zones they’re labeled for that we can choose from, whether annuals (or especially) if you use some perennials. I think where most folks go wrong is they don’t realize that they gotta fertilize weekly. I find a weekly bloom booster is best for ALL of my plants in addition to the slow release @ planting, & for pots slow release again in 2-3 months. Very few plants don’t require regular feeding. Using all different plants in each pot can help show us how your fertilizer schedule helps you get your results across the board. Thanks for the update! It’s looking beautiful!
That was great to see what happens with the plants in shade.
Showing the containers that don't get full sun is so helpful! I think my supertunias would like a tad more sun. I did purple fountain grass too and they are huge!
Loved the idea to show the ones with less light....helps us less knowledgeable ones. They look so beautiful. Love when you plant them all with the same combos, but it would be great to see for one season a real mixture.....better you guys than me. lol Thanks for such content you always show.
Gorgeous, as always! Thaks for the update. I love the uniformity of your pots. Having said that, I have a few of those same containers on my deck and I planted them differently. I live in a townhouse with a small yard so the Crescent Garden containers really allow me to expand my options and experiment with various plants. With gratitude from zone 7a.
keep them the same, otherwise it's going to look like a bowl of m&m's, haha, thank you for sharing, and Aaron that was awesome, that way we can see what a difference conditions make on plants.
Gorgeous the colors are beautiful! Everything I see is outstanding!
I love those pots!! One day I will have some too 💕🌸.
Great update guys!! For next year's containers, how about an ombre effect? The first 2 pots in the shade could have plants that do well there. Then the next three (pots 3-5) transition to something that does well in the sun, but still relate to the first two. Then the next three (pots 6-8) would transition again and so on down the line. After the initial 2 pots, you would have 4 groups of 3 pots making transitions. Whatever you decide I know will be stunning and I will duplicate it in my yard.
What about having the colors of the flowers be ombré? Like having the shadier part of the pots be a light pink, then gradually add in bolder colors of pink as you go down the rows of planters?
That would look great!!
Thank you for the update. Also it was helpful seeing how plants perform when not getting the proper amount of sunlight. That helped a lot! Love your videos!
❤️those planters. Absolutely beautiful.
Great idea about putting the same planter under shade and what can happen to it. I love all the planters having the same color scheem. Can't wait to see what you come up next year.
Great video! The idea about showing different plant combos sounds great.
Thank you for showing and up dating us on these containers I love to see all that you are doing. I was thinking maybe next year for your containers that you plant ever other container. Like EVENS are a combination of flowers and the ODDS are another combination of greens or maybe just one item that you can put lights on for a beautiful evening look. Just throwing some thoughts out there, but what ever you do I know it will be just the best!
By us in South Africa, purple fountain grass is an amazing edition to any garden. Is a perennial over here... Which is a bonus. My garden will from now always include a couple of grasses. It's a filler for the border and a triller in a container. And planted next to a walkway, it's very elegant and textile. Every time I walk past them, my fingers just have to comb though them... Definitely a must have!!!
Here’s a challenge for you...next year, look for plants with similar sizes and coloring, most for full sun but some with better shade tolerance for the two planters on the end.
Good idea Aaron! I love to see the comparison! All the others look beautiful!
I love the uniform look of all the containers being the same & the comparison of sun vs shade planting (great idea Aaron). My suggestion is to plant the 2 containers that are in the part shade and all shade alike using appropriate plants. Maybe some thing that contrasts to the full sun containers. I'm sure whatever you guys decide to do will look gorgeous!
Well done on the pots! I like all the same look or color blocking. Fill each pot with the same color but different color from pot to pot. I'm sure whatever you do will be amazing !!
They look like colorful pineapples
They look even better than last year! Next year, If don't plant them uniformly, maybe two related design combinations that alternate? One element, like purple fountain grass, could be the constant that ties them all together...
Love them! I used to hate grasses but you have changed my mind. Also, the examples in the shade were helpful!!
I really like them all the same HOWEVER I did enjoy when you and Aaron did the challenge.
The containers look spectacular. I want to try the self watering containers.
Also I think it was a very good lesson to actually see the difference in performance based on light exposure. Thank you.
Maybe try every other one the same next year. All different I think would change it up too much. More consistency. Love how everything looks. You and your family are wonderful!
So pretty. I like the uniformity of them all looking the same; however, I’m sure whatever you choose they’ll be beautiful!
A combination will be great to see who the containers work with different plants.
They look great! I think having different flowers in the pots next year would be too busy looking. Unless you do 2 different types of looks and alternate them, that could be cute.
I'd love to see a different color in each container for next year. Make it into a rainbow gradient!
Absolutely Stunning. I am jelly beans 😍😍😍
This is exactly what i needed! Great inspiration for fall vegetable planting. I wish I knew about the Bonide products about a month ago once I started getting hit with powdery mildew and grub worms, but I'm so thankful I found Laura and her youtube channel!
I think it could be fun to experiment for one year and have different combinations of plants in each planters and see what performs the best!
Well, now I know that even though my basket of PW petunia got about 5 hours of afternoon sun...not enough. Thanks guys that last planter really helped me. 💚🌿💦
So gorgeous and I love the look of all the same. Reminds me of soldiers lined up in uniform:)
They look beautiful! I am from The Netherlands and i love your channel,. I follow you for quite a while , but first time i comment .xxxSonja
I loved this years combo, liked it so much better than all the pinks last year, specially because the same plants grew differently in each pot, so some have more Bordeaux, or limoncello, or a bit more royal velvet peaking out. I'd go for all the same next year, it really goes well with your more formal style of gardening, at least in my opinion. Thanks for the great videos!
Absolutely Gorgeous! Although I like the symmetry of all the containers, I like the idea of planting differently just from a learning perspective to see what works best and the different combinations. And thanks for showing that container in the shade. Again just from a learning perspective, it's great to see the differences in plant growth just from the change in light conditions. Thanks again.
I agree with Kim Chtistiansen’s suggestion. Lovely update Laura.
The the contrast is amazing between the two positions in the landscape. Do you think every other planter filled with one color plus fountain grass would be dramatic? Love to see color being played with.
Simply gorgeous! Thanks for the info on BT spray, I’ve got a very old Geranium that thru the ages each one of us in the family has added a color, this year it’s been eaten alive by caterpillars.
Planters look amazing. That color combo is really beautiful. For next year---I too think the same is better.
Would love to see different color flowers in each container!
LOOKING BEAUTIFUL!!!. THE PURPLE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLOR...I LOVE IIIT!!!. KEEP USING THAT COLOR!!!. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATES!!!. BLESSINGS!!!.
Can you make a video about roses? When and how to prune, fertilizing, what diseases can they get, why leaves fall off, why are they yellow.
Please! Thank you😊
Valentina tina yes! There is so much to learn about roses. I would love that too.
purple fountain grass in the middles and variety of colors and mixes, shows us different combos/ideas
and a way to walk with Benjamin and teach him his colors at the same time 8)
New gardener here and always wanted to know what purple fountain grass was called. Now because of you I know. Thank you!
Please do different containers next year! I hope to do the self watering containers next year! Saving my pennies:) for the purchase!
Stephen from Miracle Farm says aphids are a sign of overfertilization. I’m glad those are self watering containers and the fertilizer will not end up in the river to contribute to the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. They are pretty, for sure.
Looking so great Laura!
Oh my God they look sooo nice ....thanks for sharing .
Rotating 2 or 3 different styles could be nice!
Really beautiful, have loved the sun for certain , I like that you showed how the pots in the shade did also, so enjoy the video's from you both !
I like your idea of doing different ones!
I like the consistancy of all the planters the same. I think red, purple and white would be nice :)
