What's Your Deal With Boxwoods? // Isn't Your Septic Near the Fart Smell? // Recap 🌿

I loved the “fart” scene. I thought it was so funny and normal. Good job Aaron for leaving that in! 😅

Wow! I didn’t realize you have a WAREHOUSE! Your company and brand is GROWING! I love that for you! Great job!

Haha! The grin on Aaron's face when addressing the fart question. I for one am glad Aaron kept that part in, it was so funny and just a normal ol' part of life.

😂😂 I lost it when Laura was in the boxwood hedge “I like them”

The Editing in these videos lately has been incredible. Love the fun and playful style while still being very formal and still Garden Answer ❤❤

Well the "What's the deal ("man") with boxwoods?" segment with the clip of Laura behind a bunch of boxwoods was a hoot! LOL!

The fire edit 😆 The boxwood edit 😂 love the humor in this one! 😄 Always a great way to get our Sunday rolling before church. 💕

“I’m excited because you’re excited”…true love right there 🐴💕

Giving the Senior Center the buckets of flowers would be so much fun for the residents to create their own arrangements. I thought that was a fabulous idea ... they'd love it!

Such a joy to watch your videos and recaps!! I feel extremely lucky to have come across the Garden Answer channel many years ago 💖💖

Stone benches would complete that area, they’d give purpose to the empty spaces between the trees and would tie in with the stone urns ❤️

I think your idea to bring buckets of flowers to the home is brilliant. Then the residents could have a creative activity to design their own jar bouquet💐

You two crack me up! Love your comments back-and-forth: hilarious!

Household septic tanks are normally pumped every 3-5 years. You have more children and employees than you used to.

What would be an awesome activity for the center is to have them each arrange their own flower bouquet. Maybe you could tell the aides when flowers are ready to be cut and the residents can gather on a certain day to arrange their flowers. It would be such a wonderful activity for them and bring them such joy to be working with flowers.

I can't tell you how long I've been watching your channel. I love your soft-spoken enthusiasm for gardening. I'm always in awe of your mastery of plant names & species. I'm almost 70 & I have a postage stamp hilly property that I grew up on having purchased it from my siblings after Mom passed in 2019. Although Dad & my grandad both had green thumbs, Mom did not. The property, gardens & orchard had been left to survive on thei own. They've grown pretty wild. Given the steep grade of the hill, it can be treacherous to weed & plant without proper terracing. I must confess I love to rejoice in your spacious green fields and how you can carve out meandering walks and gardens to optimize their beauty and productivity. I struggle to leave the green in my thumb & not let envy creep into my heart. 😂 ❤ I really enjoy the way your & your hubby chat during your recap videos. Blessings abundant to you and your family.

I am absolutely LOVING the new editing style! Laughing out loud about the boxwood! 😂 💚

Boxwoods add an element of elegance to a home.

The title of this video. . . 🤣 Your channel is the best! It's always entertaining and educational. The best content on the internet!

Hostas - there’s a wonderful local lady to me (UK) who grows her hosta in hanging baskets to stop the slug/snail damage. They look amazing hanging under tree canopies. Kathy (Cathy?) Brown - she wrote a book on it. Such gorgeous gardens, if you get the chance to go.

Cats, when they are happy they will do the tail shake. its like their excitement vibrating out of them, they just cant contain it.

Another great recap video. Thank you for sharing your life!

i love when Aaron said” it makes you happy so i am happy” you guys are so sweet

I am definitely with Laura on the reservoirs. California,where I live has a very constant cycle . I’m 80 years old and have lived in CA 44 yrs and I have seen this repeatedly. We have 5-7 years of very little rainfall or snow which of course puts us into a drought, but then we get q or 2 yrs of a lot of rain- too much for our current reservoirs so much of it is released into the ocean. A simple solution would be a couple of more reservoirs. It’s true we need to keep our rivers ears flowing but the time we have to let the majority of the water out is during the same time there is plenty of water in the rivers. Then when they really need water in those rivers our reservoirs are low so everyone suffers. Our weather pattern depends solely on El Niño and La Niña. People forget that much of CA really is a desert

Brushwood Nursery is the absolute best place to order clematis from. They’re specialists, and send gallon plants with big, beautiful root systems.

lol the editing in this is hilarious

Pickleball is addictive! I'm 68 and love it. 2nd favorite activity next to gardening.

As usual, a wonderful recap with Aaron’s occasional snide , funny comments. Thanks you two for helping me start my Sunday with a smile on my face, plus some new garden knowledge, as always.❤😊

“I like ‘em” Laura from Garden Answer from the bowels of a boxwood hedge 😂😂😂😂

I love boxwoods, too. About that mystery smell, it was not long after and not far from where Laura stepped on Douglas and startled him, and I had thought it was one time you could legitimately blame the cat. 😅

Good morning from Maryland. Going up to 86 degrees today!

Good morning all from beautiful Chester County, Pennsylvania. It’s going to be 80 degrees today!☀️🕶️

I placed an order for felcos and I am so excited to have a nice tool for my small hands. I have had dull old tools all my life! You have inspired me to put an effort and make sure I have the best tools to grown a few flowers and maybe a few veggies

Oh but the fart smell part made me laugh! I love your guy’s banter! And I was so happy there was so much back and forth in the tour! Your relationship and teamwork on your yard is so nice to see and hear because Aaron’s perspective can be so different and it really makes Laura think. It’s super neat!

38:55 Lol! What’s your deal with boxwoods? Great editing!

I've grown rice in the past. Super easy. Use a shallow rubber horse trough, put a few inches of soil in the bottom, put the seed in the soil and fill the trough with water until it covers the dirt. As the rice grows, keep adding water to just below the growing tips until you reach the top of the trough. Keep the water topped off until the rice is harvested. The hard part is separating the rice from the chaff. There are machines for micro growers, but they were pretty expensive. I communicated with the creator of the micro machines and the best idea we could come up with for micro, micro growing is to spread the rice out on a piece of wood and rub another piece of wood over it with a fan blowing on the rice to blow the chaff away. I only grew it for a year or two. Too much work, lol.

Hey one of those kneeling pads is mine! 🙋🏻‍♀️😁 I love the size! Can't wait for it's arrival!

Also love brushwood nursery online for clematis ! Huge roots

I loved the “fart” conversation. It was so real and human. Made me laugh and love you both even more. 😂

The warehouse is HUGE!! WOW!!! I would venture to say that if you did a tour of the warehouse, it would increase your sales! I'm so happy for you guys!!

Good day Laura and Aaron and friends watching. It’s raining steadily here in southeast Michigan with a high of 80 again today. Enjoyed this video recap so much, you two are a delight to watch and I enjoy hearing snippets of ‘upcoming’ plans and projects. As always thank you for sharing your amazing Kiddoes, your family, Paul & Bethany (of course!) and kitties, too. Enjoy a new gardening week everyone. Prayers going out to friends dnd family affected by the horrible tornadoes this weekend 🙏🌸💕🌷💕

I planted the Rosy Diamond tulip too. Amazing. People in my office thought it was a peony - it was so big and full!

if the residents are able they may love making the arrangements themselves as a project .

I received my knee pad-thank you. It’s so pretty, I don’t want to use it! It’s “art” in my garden shed right now, although I’m sure I’ll break it in soon.

Garden Crossing LLC out of Michigan has a good variety of Clematis for sale and they ship across the country. I've had great experience with them.

Yes, I am finally getting great use of my grow light! It was in a box for two years because I knew we would be moving. Now in Alaska the grow light is necessary if you want to get a head start to growing in an area with basically four months to grow in. Every year I am building on my previous gardening knowledge. Laura and Aaron, I am finally getting to use what I learned from watching your podcast!!!!! So blessed!!!!!!!!

My 14 year old female cat pretend sprays all the time. I just love the Douglas/Russel episodes. So much fun.

Laura.. You just discussed hosta’s. Wanted to give you and Aaron some info. We are members of American Hosta Society and Western NY Hosta Society. We are located just south of Buffalo, NY, Zone 6A. There are more than 10 thousand registered hosta’s and many more that aren’t. In our small suburban garden, we have over 750 different hostas, from mini to giant. We only have a couple duplicates, because they are my favorites! When we ran out of garden space, we went to pots. We just unloaded the garage if more than 250 different potted hostas! We wait until a killing frost in the fall, strip the dead leaves off, and they go into an unheated, not attached garage. They are stored on shelves all winter and completely ignored. No water, no snowballs on the pot, nothing. The hostas are dormant and do not need water. We have several large potted hostas in the yard that are too heavy to move. We put a brick under the pot so they are tipped. Reason is to prevent the heat thaw cycle. The snow lands on the soil, and over the winter the soil can freeze. On those late winter days, the sun comes out and melts the snow. The water can’t get through the frozen dirt and that leads to rot of the crown. Happy to say, we didn’t lose any hosta’s this year at all. We have learned so much from you and do enjoy seeing your children and extended family. We are participants in Gardens:Buffalo-Niagara Open Gardens and our local Garden Walk. We host tour groups from around the area and from out of state (Florida) and Canada. We are on Facebook too. Whit’s End Gardens. If you would like to see an area who gardens, Buffalo hosts the largest free Garden Walk (over 400 gardens) every July and there are over 100 Open Gardens on Thursday and Friday in July. Come visit! Benjamin would enjoy Whit’s End Gardens as we have 3 different gardens railroads that circle around our shaded yard.

I plant a few rows of annual flowers that I use to bless seniors in homes and a nursing home with bouquets. I love brightening their day!

I'm in Zone 7A (SE PA), I have several hosta in pots and they sit out all Winter and all of them are growing nicely.

Laura's head floating in the boxwood hedge was masterful editing. 😆 🤣

My kneeling pad is on its way. Cant wait to get it and I need it! Thanks guys!

We pumped our septic religiously every three years. Don’t want to take a chance on something going wrong.

Is this the 10 year anniversary of GA? Woot woot! Congratulations!

1So fun and informative to watch your videos Love the fun additions of the "fire", farts and the "Laura in the boxwoods" haha! Also delighted to hear about your pickleball plans on the resurfaced sports pad. You will never regret having pickleball as its great for all ages! My life consists of gardening in Canada and in Florida, watching Garden Answer daily and pickleball to complete my week! Love you guys, the kids and your life! Thank you for sharing with us!

Horses - I’m excited because you’re excited 🥹 so sweet. I love boxwoods. My graham blandy is my favorite. It’s more chubby like an arborvitae, though, instead of pillar so I guess that means it likes its placement? ❤ all your videos.

Highly recommend Brushwood Nursery and Hummingbird Farm for ordering clematis online.

I LOVE boxwoods too! They make me think of an English garden, which I absolutely love! I love the formal look, with occasional beautiful pots and garden statue. Just so lovely with the flowers as well. My happy place! Your garden looks like an English garden and that’s one reason why I love your channel!

lol loved the graphic of Laura in the boxwoods 😅😅😅

Wondering if the residents occasionally would like to arrange their own flowers as an activity for them?

The Smell is from one of your lateral lines, its either crushed or tree rooted

Aaron you are so sweet...you are excited for the barn project because she is my heart❤

Oh my goodness I actually just received my kneeling pad today!! Impressive how hard and fast you guys work! 😊 Thank you so much for everything you do. I’m sure you already know but in case you don’t.. you are such an inspiration! and if the world had more people like you it would be a much better place. 🌎🌱💚

I look forward to Sundays after church and lunch to sit down and watch your weekly highlights videos. Thanks for the entertainment!

Great recap, as always, I enjoyed it so much. Such a perfect start to my Sunday. Have a blessed day everyone.

19:00 awe❤❤❤ The love is felt through the screen!!

We have tulips growing that I have never planted. We’ve lived in this house for 30 plus years and have tulips coming up where I wouldn’t even think of planting them, under a tree in our front lawn. Granted their sparse but their there mixed in with daffodils, such a pretty natural sight. 🌷💚🙃

Hello from Chicago. Thank you for another fun recap. Stone benches would be beautiful, but I like a back on my bench too.😉 Everything you do looks amazing.😊

Ha ha ha tulip fire!!! Love it!! 🥰🥰🥰

9:21 luckily there has been a lot of effort to improve the way reservoirs are engineered 💪🏼 go science; new reservoirs prevent evaporation and temperature spikes that kill many species of flora and fauna necessary in an ecosystem. We are far better off now that we have learned how to utilize water reclamation more efficiently than if we had stuck with the first engineering attempts 100 years ago 🙌🏼💪🏼 PSA to continue to fund and support STEM and the EPA 🙏🏼

Good afthernoon from Johanna in The Netherlands, I have been watching all your video's last weeks

We have a koppert here in my small Canadian town. I love their products. Infact, when you go to a garden centre and purchase already made flower baskets, they come with the koppert sacks attached for white flies and other bugs. They are a great company. They have been here what seems like forever. I remember my brother always going there to get stuff for his small greenhouse, and always talking about how great their stuff works.

Lol, Taylor is on fire with some of these expression cuts. I never realized how many faces they make at each other. 😂

Some cats have a tail shake that means they are happy

My tulips come back year after year! I try and find perennial varieties meant to come back. Dig deep! I seem to have best luck when I plant them deep 9" or more. That gives you lots of space for perennial or annual plants on top 😊

Love these weeklies! Blessings on all of you!!😂❤

I order from proven winners because I don’t drive any more. Even though there are a lot of big box stores and nursery centers in my area. Just don’t have the transportation to shop. I love to garden especially flowers and perennials. So proven winners have been my shopping and delivery store. Thanks for all knowledge and showing things that are new. Waiting patiently for the kneels pads. ❤❤❤

FYI on septic….lots of moisture equals occasional “fart” smell 💩 Not to worry. Absolutely love watching your channel. 🥰

Very happy with the news about the arrival of the kneeling pads.

Congrats on ten years! Aaron mentions when you started KZhead in 2014. 🎉🎉🎉

Good morning from Florida GA friends 😊

2014 your first year! Doesn’t this make this year your ten year anniversary of being creators? Did you or are you going to celebrate it? I mean 10 years is nothing to sneeze at in the creator/KZhead world! Ten really informative, creative and fun content I might add. Love it!

Here in Scottsdale, we're zone 10a. 😊❤❤

My male cat does that motion too, he is fixed and has never sprayed. Same with my brother's cats. If you look it up it actually means that they are happy. Unless they are doing it while in a confrontation with another cat, then it's usually a dominance thing, lol.

I remember when you first received the battery operated tiller. During Covid, I purchased one as well by Snapper along with a push mower and weed eater. That way the battery was interchangeable. The tiller, like you said, bounced and did not till far enough in the ground. I spent too many hours trying to get the job done. Since then, I bought a gas powered one. I like this much better. I liked the other battery operated tools I bought, but that was not what I needed.

I have been watching for 10 years! Oh my goodness. Thank you for during the best show. This has been so consistent with quality ideas and information.

Love the weekly recaps ❤❤❤

Talking about getting additional help, you could always hire someone who is attending your college in horticulture studies as an intern. Would give them experience.

The tulip fire 🌷🔥😂 This editor is really growing on me 😂

Love your mug! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!! Amen! Love and blessings from Ontario Canada :)

Good morning from Delaware Garden Answer friends.

Loved the fire around Laura! 😂

Douglas is only rubbing with corner of the door frame. He’s not spraying anything. Poor Douglas is so misunderstood.

Thanks for answering my question. ❤

Love you guys!! Thank you so much for keeping up the good work!!

Thank you Aaron and Laura!

The tulip fire edit jump scared me and then had my husband and I laughing.

I like boxwoods too 🙌🏻. I have green mountain boxwoods in my woodland border and let them grow naturally. I’ve started to snip the ends to help them fill out but they naturally have a loose pyramidal shape. There aren’t many choices for understory shrubs-most areas don’t get any direct sun once the trees have leafed out and more deer are in the area now. Wish I could find a pine for shade/deer. Great editing 😊

I love watching the recaps. Good info in them.

editing was on the spot for this recap , just so fun 🙂
