Did I hear you say you knit? I have to say watching you and Aaron has really kickstarted my interest in gardening again now that I am an empty nester with 2 year old granddaughters. I loved the butterfly garden and will definitely use your ideas when I plant one for the girls. Your content is so wonderful, every morning before work, I grab my coffee and watch the most recent update. On the weekend, I sit and knit for the granddaughters and dream of retirement when I can make my own beautiful gardens. Thank you so much for your inspiration.

I have a zone question. I am in CA in zone 9. Many of the beautiful plants you use are listed as zone up to 8. Would I also be able to plant an 8 in my zone 9? My mom did have a Forsythia in our area. Growing up in upstate NY, it reminded her of her childhood. At that time I was not interested in plants like I am now but remember her joy when it was first to bloom in her garden. Thank you for sharing your love of plants and your family with all of us!

Hi. could you please tell me. my lilac bushes, similar to the one in your vid, went thru a month of sitting in water as we had the worst snow fall and lots of rain to date. You can see leaf buds started to appear on the bushes and now ti's June, nothing opened on the branches. They are just bare. Are they dead or should I wait till next year to possibly see life again on them. They were my pride and joy in plants. thanks.

Please consider using native plants. Forsythias are invasive plants, provide nothing for insects, destroy good habitat for our birds and environment. I used to plant non native because I didnt realize what I was doing. We all need to improve our environment for birds, animals ourselves also. Most native plants, ants need no chemicals for growing either

Laura, what percentage of plants have you kept from the previous owners?
We have just moved to a new home & I want to completely redo the garden but feel a bit guilty about pulling existing plants! We have heavier clay soil. besides adding gypsum, do you have any tips on soil that holds onto water? What other plants like more moist soil?

I had dahlias in my cart at the store and a lady asked me about them. she proceeded to say how she wants a 'cut flower garden' and wants to try storing her tubers in vermiculite. I asked if she watched garden answer and she smiled and said yes! Even in this small suburb of Cleveland, it's cool to run into other fans: )

Forsythia and daffodils. Seeing pops of yellow against the bright green grass! The first signs of spring are magical and soul stirring! I gave two widow friends of mine a forsythia/ deconstructed wreath for the front door and they loved them. I may have to do that for another friend whose husband passed away Sunday.

Many years ago I had forsythia bushes that took over one hundred feet of a border. I tried trimming them back, but they just came back even stronger. Finally a bulldozer was brought in to remove them. As beautiful as they are when they bloom, they are not easy to manage. I think I am actually afraid of them.
