seriously?
I pre-water each area the day before planting to cool and soften the soil compaction and to give a damp environment for the roots to bed. That way, when I dig the holes it gives the roots an easier growing environment to spread out from the amended soil into the native soil. Especially if its midsummer, hot and dry and the drip is providing only enough water to keep up with the plant transpiration. Less transplant shock.

I was excited to see you planting grasses and that you were so excited about it. I feel grasses are often under appreciated for what they bring to the landscape. Great for hide and seek down the line with the kiddos too. Any chance you will be planting some Parry's Agave or Pampas Grass? I enjoy watching the new property come together. All that hard work will pay off and is being enjoyed by many. Thank you.

buongiorno just wondering if those beautiful ornamental grasses be used as a privacy hedge. would they do well on a roof terrace in containers do you think or would they require too much watering?
Thank you Laura and thank you Aaron. You are almost part of my daily life as I struggle to go outside due to health issues so hanging out in your gardens and outside spaces is quite therapeutic =) xx

I was just over the state line visiting my aunt and uncle in Marsing, Idaho! I don't know how you are surviving that heat because we were sweating like crazy and could only lay there and do nothing! Haha. And I thought it was hot at home in Utah. The smoke is so bad also, but we were so grateful for it to make the days less sunny! Ugh. Hang in there!

I love watching Laura and Aaron landscaping their property. I'm curious though about their method of planting. I was always told to mix the native soil with the rich soil/compost rather than just trow it into the hole around the plant. She's got some great results, so maybe it doesn't matter. haha

It would be super fun to see a really rough sketch/drawing of what you envision this to look like someday. Not even colored or accurate but just like big structures, path, orchard, etc. its hard for me to visualize just from the video and Id love to see the sort of high level master vision!

Oh yeah! I just researched these grasses about a month ago for the back of my house. I'm so happy to see them in Laura and Aaron's landscape. I probably won't be able to put them in until next year - so I can see how they perform for them before I make the plunge.

Not about the grasses but just came across a video talking about the pancake arborvitae and it sounds great as a hedge around the cut flower garden! It's zone 4-8, drought tolerant once established, 18 x 3 feet wide, sage green in summer turns blue green in winter.
