Garden Maintenance - Wednesday Zone! Garden Answer Kay: Laura, as per your suggestion and example Ill l be starting a zone maintenance set up, mapping it out this winter. Such a great idea and will help our whole property, our peace of mind! In the meantime, a heads up about falling debris over ponds. If you have a choice and want less work, minimize plants/trees hanging over/near a pond. We have gorgeous ornamental pines & spruce that were planted around our pond years ago before we bought our home. We get wind like you do. Until all of the spent needles and cones have dropped into the pond, its an everlivin mess and requires daily skimming w fish pond net. We have fish in the pond which are so much fun to feed every day, but in the aftermath of a wind/storm you cant see the surface of the water. I normally blow those garbage droppings to one end of the pond and skim. Repeat this for about 5-6 weeks! A waterfall feature helps to keep it aerated for the fish & for the past five years about half of the pond water is replaced every other day during our sprinkling days. Sprinklers are connected to our canal water, so canal water into the pond and pond water out onto the lawn and beds every other day, April- October. Works very well because we have a water genius as a friend! I know you must have a water genius friend, as well!

Loving your posts area right here even though its very different from gardening in wet old England. You grow many of the plants all over the favourites in UK gardens.
Please dont put the run-off from your greenhouse roof into Drain you could install good looking water butts and collect the water! It will be very environmentally friendly even with a small amount of water you get and the plants love rainwater please please consider it

This series is so helpful. Also, what ever happened with the beautiful water feature that you had built? Do you realize that willow trees are planted to actually dry up super wet ground? Would its roots eventually invade the plastic used for a future pond or would no plastic liner be used? The willow would most likely just dry up any water pond, look into that so that you do not waste your time or money.

Mondays editing was a bit more plesant. Timelaps much slower. Not repat. First telling what to do, the doing it, then explaing what you did. Show what beds on the plan, then slow timlapse, then explaing, or talk over was very nice. This take was a bit stressful. I do appreciate you doing this. They are regardless fun. But Monday editing was better and more relaxing. Everything is so beautiful. :)

Thank you again for all the informative videos. What you do has enriched my life through the last year and given me confidence to allow myself to be a creative gardener. I love that you dont plan, but you put things together with a balance and think about the views you are creating behind every plant and tree. I love how it comes together. It fosters trust.

Hi Laura, couple of questionshow do you dispose of your debris after cleaning things up and Ive noticed pods now on my hostas after the flowering is doneare those seeds and can they be saved for next year to plant and get new hostas? I have loved watching you, Aaron and Benjamin over the years and seeing how things ever change, youre an inspiration!

Do you cut your Little Lime Hydrangeas to the ground each year at the end of the season? I am frustrated with mine in that the new growth is always too weak to support the large flower heads. The opposite node formation of branches seems to perpetuate that. I can't get a single strong stem to grow up that I can build on from season to season.

These videos are great. Nice to see how you break it up and keep it manageable, notice your jobs create a fair bit of green waste, could you talk about how you deal with that, I remember when you were putting in the back fence on the new property you mentioned composting, have you set that up?

Question-can you trim/cut back roses anytime of the year after they bloom? My climbing rose sends out several large canes during this time with one rose at the very end. It looks crazy but I leave them for the flower. Ive been leaving them until spring and trim off then with any dead canes.

Hi! First time commenting. I love that your doing this kind of series. It is truly helpful and encouraging! Quick question: what at those beautiful yellow flower in the beginning of the video? They are gorgeous. Kind of look like black eyed Susans but mine dont look like that
