So frustrating to find eaten plants! I wish sometimes they could just let us know by saying, help me! But I guess that would be weird. Lol! I think where you transplanted those two plants is a great spot. They will look nice there! Wish I could do that! I fret and fret about where to put plants so they look good. Hey, you guys had talked about making an app for that quite a while ago but I haven't heard anything since. Any news at all on that? It would be awesome to have for this winter when we are planning for next year. I thought it was a GREAT idea!

Laura, you have never been so REAL as you were in this video! You were cold, frustrated, doing chores that were unscheduled, and the wind was doing its thing. We all have those days and ours aren't on video. Actually seeing you cope with the problems and enjoying your new gloves made me relax. The fact that you ran into unexpected drip lines and huge roots just endeared you to all of us because we are just people who like to garden and hate to run into those distractions that have to be fixed along the way. Detours are annoying! Keep smiling--Pixie.

I started with 2 spiera and now have over 50. Over a 4 yr span. They can be divided but tricky as the root ball is very woody. For example your spirea I would have made 4 plants. I take am electric saw zall and cut it into 4 pieces like a pie. . They look ugly at first but once spring sets in they take off and fill in and look awesome. My success rate is like 97%. I've had 1 that died. I do this in late winter early spring though. I only have 2 varieties, about 25 of each.

I am a firm believer in planting all my shrubs and perennials in my native soil without any commercial fertilizers. It creates a much better and stronger root system. All plants need to go and search for things instead of sitting in the little bowl that you make and eat all the available food you give them. You can top dress them anytime after they establish their root system and it will be a much healthier plant!

I have terrible problems with voles. I have lost roses, hostas, heucheras, gerberas, Japanese maples, and a 12-foot bridal wreath spirea. Some days I will plant something and the very next morning the entire root system is gone with just leaves on the surface. I have tried about everything to no avail. I am trying mothballs now. They smell so bad I don't even want to be around them. We will see!

I am sorry to see what those gophers did, and I know how you feel. They ate all my tulips, and most of my perineals. Unfortunately there is nothing that gets rid of them. However, when you find their tunnels you should break them up by digging and breaking them up. Gravel also deters them, but they are persistent. Take care.

Laura I need to move a few perennials and ornamental trees this fall, too. I noticed you use the starter fertilizer, but I'm reading conflicting information online about fertilizing fall transplants, indicating that fertilizing will promote growth when the roots really should just work on getting established. Thoughts?

Hi Laura & Aaron, Love your videos, thank you for all the great content! I've been watching for about 2 years but I still get confused on the layout of your garden, would it be possible for you to post an arial view of your property with wind direction & names of the different gardens?
