Hi Laura and Aaron! I was wondering if you have ever considered using the hay racks that were once in front of your house on the fence lining your lane with the red point maples? I realize it's a longer fence and you would probably have to put them every other section and the drip irrigation may be a pain. The tubing could be run on the backside though since they'd never be seen. I was just thinking a line of supertunia royal velvet or supertunia fuchsia would be gorgeous lining the lane. just a thought! Thank you for all of your videos. They are such an inspiration.

Hi Laura, you mentioned in a past video that when planting a butterfly bush to plant it a bit higher than it sits in its nursery can and that they like don't like a lot of water. I planted Miss Violet and Pugster Amythest earlier this spring. Since its their first year, is it better to water them often until they have taken root, or should they also be allowed dry out in the first year? Your garden is coming together beautifully! Can't wait to see the stone pathway videos. Thanks for sharing your life with us!

Hi Laura, have you ever experienced pink phlox reverting back to white the next blooming season? I purchased 4 phlox plants three ago. Two pink two white. The following season, three were white and one didnt bloom at all. This year the same thing is happening. Although I like white, Ive already devoted an area in my garden to white daisies. Ohthe phlox plants were not proven winners. Im trying out ultraviolet this year and crossing fingers. Thanks for your videos and I love your garden(s.

So glad you shared your dry Astilbe problem with us. I planted 2 recently and in about 10 days both started looking crispy. I checked the soil for moisture and it seemed fine, not dry yet, so I postponed watering as I too often overwater. After I watched today's GA I went out and watered them. I always learn from your problems, maybe more than from your many, many successes. Thanks for sharing.

I will be interested to learn how Aphrodite performs. I hade a variety called Carolina Allspice which bloomed creamy lime colored. My mom had the Callicanthus floridia) variety which bloomed the reddish color. Very vigorous grower in Eastern NC, zone 8a. They got HUGE and put out tons of runners. The shrub basically forms a thicket. It will need lots of space for sure. Good luck!

I love the Calycanthus! The green is so perfect in that spot. My parents have one planted at their coastal property here in New Zealand, and it turns a beautiful yellow in the autumn - am looking forward to seeing how your one looks in the fall! That area in your South Garden is going to be stunning at that time of year, can't wait for the tour: )

PLEASE DO A REACTION VIDEO to your last garden tour of the old house before moving day! Laura mentioned so many plants she doesn't have at the new house(black swan birch, etc) and I'd love to get her reaction to rewatching this tour and remembering old plants. Aaron's reaction too would be funny about the filming differences.

Calycanthus or all-spice bush is a great shrub that is native to the southeast. Laura I feel like you tend to say alot of things smells like grapes, lol. I've always heard it smells like cinnamon or all spice as the common name implies. But idk as there not sold here or around here as where zone 5 the limit of its cold tolerance
