I did it! You got me past my what if I do it wrong and I planted planters. I had a mishmash of containers and I spray painted all of them so they looked more cohesive and then I went to a local green house and got plants and my husband came out and said, It looks like you bought them already planted! Now. if I can keep em alive and flourishing. lol Plants are: PW Rockin Fuchia Salvia, PW Golddust Mecardonia and another brand Calibrachoa with the palest pink outer, fushia inner and yellow throat. SO EXCITED. Thanks for inspiring me, I really appreciate it.

Hi Laura, I have loved watching and learning from you both. Have you thought of doing a spill garden pot feature? I am trying to set one up a in a 20 x 6 foot part shady area with mainly perennials with annual splashes of colour. I am not sure if I will have a Bucket spilling a swathe of colour through green mondo grass or an old milk churn spilling a flood of small white foliage and floral plants. I would appreciate any plant recommendations for zone 8/9a/9b near Dubbo NSW Australia. Keep up the lovely zany infofun! Boofy

Wow, you guys are going to be warmer than us. Today. 82 degrees, 4 days of coolness. then back up to the hundreds. I love the heat, I am Old & do not like shoving snow. Question. Any feed back on the self watering containers? How well do they do in a hot dry climate? I was wondering. very scary thought! Would it help to keep things from drying out, to put Pete moss around the sides of the pots or coconut fabric? I told you it was a scary thought. Thx for helping us all out in our planting adventures. Love ya.

Hi there! Id love to see a video where you plant up two identical pots of flowers/plants and fertilize one like you always do, and feed it weekly as usual, and then put absolutely no fertilizer/weekly food in the other one. It would be a wonderful science experiment to see the actual difference in how fertilizer really works! Ive actually searched for videos of people doing this and havent found ANY! So Im sure it would be a huge hit!

Oh how I wish I could design gardens like you but Im learning! I just love all your container designs as well as your gardens! Wish you could come to Texas and design my flowerbeds! LOL! I can't seem to find a garden center that has all the Proven Winner flowers and plants plus the garden soil and fertilizer. Do you know of some distributors here in the Dallas Ft. Worth area? Thanks for sharing all your beautiful work!

Hi Laura! I have a quick question, Im a little embarrassed but I just bought a house and have to start my landscape/garden from scratch without much experience. I live in plant zone 5a, Chicago suburbs, will Morning Glory die if I transplant outdoors? Please help! I planted the seeds because they were given to me without knowing much about them and now seedlings are about 10 tall.

Thank you for talking about the lemon coral sedum. I wondered why you always stuck with that one.
I have Angelina sedum. Very similar. Mine is in my beds, but I did start with one in a container. Years ago, I was inspired by a video of yours. I ended up planting everything from the container into my garden! Thank you!

You've taught me so much about irrigation and drip tubing! I want to put my containers on but I worry about adding a hole to the 1/2 poly in a spot where I might not always need it. You mentioned not having these pots in Flower Alley next year so how will you repair/remove the coupler? Thanks, as always!

I really love that you're doing some smaller full sun pots! I rent and can't do sprawling flower gardens, so I REALLY appreciate the inspiration! I was wondering if you created these combos and then Priven Winners lists the recipes on their website or if you see the recipes and plant from them?
