I love seeing all the action the West Side garden is getting Laura! With that beautiful Arb background all those lovely plants are going to look exceptionally colorful! I know this was all transplanting, but when you buy or transplant plants how do you get an idea of how many plants you need for a successful drift? I'm starting to plant up areas of my garden and must confess I'm a little stumped whether I should buy 1 plant, 5 of the same plant or more? Does it vary depending on whether the plant is playing a thriller role or more background kind of role in a garden?

It looks like there were some pretty good sized (medium) trees around the pondless waterfall originally, were those the onse that you said were deseased? Also, do you have an overall idea of what the side garden (formerly mood garden) is going to look like? It's nice you have all the space to relocate some things but will you keep it minimal like it is now or pack it in like the more developed flower beds around your house? Thanks for all your inspirational videos!

Laura (and others in this comment section, what would you say is the best way to get rid of weeds prior to putting down mulch? I have a crabgrass problem in my garden and no matter how much I pull it, it keeps coming back Id prefer not to use non selective herbicides because my garden slopes down to a natural area with lots of thriving native plants. Ive been trying to use preen after pulling it to keep it from popping back up without a lot of luck.

I adore watching your old garden evolving, just as much as your new space. Im doing the same, but on a far smaller scale, but youre so inspiring.
We have garden open days in the summer in the uk, usually entrance for a small fee that is then donated to local charities. The home owner also offers teas and cakes and plant cuttings for sale. Id love to visit you if ever you do the same! What a thrill that would be.

Can you re-create the forest feel somewhere else on your property? That spot (minus the blight) was really lovely. Don't forget about the tree root flare being visible above soil. I remember seeing a tree in one of your container contest videos that had a planting ring around it with the tree looking like a telephone pole growing out of the middle, a gardening no-no. Perhaps a previous owner project?

Laura never liked that pond. I remember when the crew was installing it and she saw the color of the large rocks next to her natural soil. she mentioned she wasn't in love with the color of the stones and the main guy called her a flip flopper. I felt so bad for her and knew she would never appreciate the pond smh. too bad he didnt put the effort to make sure u were happy with the color

Such hard work. When I was a kid my Daddy made my brother and I help pick up rocks to clear fields for planting and for his cattle. It was hard work even for two teenage kids. We had a trailer we would fill and then dump in a ditch we were trying to fill. Bet kids now wouldn't do that but we were told and we did as we were told back then. Different times back then.

Noticed at 11: 27 in the video that you never got around to trimming the roses on the back of the chicken coop after the previous video where you were doing that area. Thank God, I'm not the only one that gets started on a project and gets side-tracked half-way through. Makes me feel much better, because you always seem so organized.

Hi Laura! Will you divide the Iris before you transplant them? It looks like they are crowded but I know its best to divide after they bloom. You have so many there. I guess youll have those splattered all around the new property. Cant wait to see where all of yours end up. I just love iris!
