97
00:03:17,133 --> 00:03:21,466

98

101
00:03:22,766 --> 00:03:27,133
about this is I look

102
00:03:23,833 --> 00:03:28,600

105
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,633
that are also perennials.

106
00:03:30,866 --> 00:03:33,466
And I think that's a great idea

107
00:03:32,566 --> 00:03:35,366
and a tip for you

108
00:03:33,466 --> 00:03:36,333
because if you put in plants

109
00:03:35,366 --> 00:03:37,633
that are perennials

110
00:03:36,333 --> 00:03:38,766

111
00:03:37,633 --> 00:03:40,333
at the end of the season, you

112
00:03:38,766 --> 00:03:41,666
can plant them in the ground,

113
00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:42,900
and that helps augment

114
00:03:41,666 --> 00:03:44,766

115
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:44,766

116
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,200

117
00:03:46,533 --> 00:03:50,533
We picked out some astilbe.

118
00:03:48,066 --> 00:03:52,400
We've got some coleus

119
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,466
and some salvia.

120
00:03:50,533 --> 00:03:56,000

122
00:03:54,466 --> 00:03:58,333
If you look at the tag

123
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,766

124
00:03:57,033 --> 00:04:02,600
it's going to tell you

125
00:03:58,333 --> 00:04:04,000

126
00:04:01,766 --> 00:04:06,133

129
00:04:06,133 --> 00:04:10,433
I also paid attention to color

130
00:04:07,933 --> 00:04:12,333

00:07:11,233 --> 00:07:15,433
So we bring in topsoil.

198
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:18,633
You brought in garden mix first.

199
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:20,333
>> Yep, garden mix. Yep.

200
00:07:15,433 --> 00:07:22,133
It's decomposed mulch

201
00:07:18,633 --> 00:07:23,000
left over from previous years.

202
00:07:20,333 --> 00:07:24,066
It's not quite topsoil,

203
00:07:22,133 --> 00:07:25,666
but in a couple years,

204
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,666
it will become topsoil.

205
00:07:24,066 --> 00:07:31,333
So we're trying to combat that

206
00:07:25,666 --> 00:07:32,633
clay as best as we can.

207
00:07:30,666 --> 00:07:33,833
>> They're putting in

208
00:07:31,333 --> 00:07:35,333
the flagstone now, then this

209
00:07:32,633 --> 00:07:36,666
will be prepared and ready.

210
00:07:33,833 --> 00:07:38,200
It's just been really a dream.

211
00:07:35,333 --> 00:07:39,233
A, you guys are great to work

212
00:07:36,666 --> 00:07:40,433
with, and you're my friend,

213
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,800
so that's awesome too.

214
00:07:39,233 --> 00:07:42,066
And that's the best part

215
00:07:40,433 --> 00:07:43,500
about it.

216
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,233
But I'm just amazed

217
00:07:42,066 --> 00:07:46,600
at how much they can do

218
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:48,966
because we've also talked about

219
00:07:45,233 --> 00:07:50,300
we had another issue with

220
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:52,033
our hydrangeas not blooming.

221
00:07:48,966 --> 00:07:53,333
And they would grow and grow and

222
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:55,066
grow, but they wouldn't bloom.

223
00:07:52,033 --> 00:07:57,400
So now we have

224
00:07:53,333 --> 00:08:00,366
a new variety of hydrangeas.

225
00:07:55,066 --> 00:08:02,666
So we -- your -- we, we

226
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:04,466
collectively you three gentlemen

227
00:08:00,366 --> 00:08:05,566
took out Hydrangea Alley.

228
00:08:02,666 --> 00:08:07,666
We relocated those to different

229
00:08:04,466 --> 00:08:08,866
spots on the property.

230
00:08:05,566 --> 00:08:09,400
And then we have a new variety

231
00:08:07,666 --> 00:08:10,300
that's going in there

232
00:08:08,866 --> 00:08:11,200
that's supposed

233
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,600
to perform better for us.

234
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:12,266
So I'm really excited

235
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,566
to see that.

236
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,300
>> So am I,

237
00:08:12,266 --> 00:08:15,300
and especially with the location

238
00:08:13,566 --> 00:08:17,500
that you've got over there,

239
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:19,233
having that greenhouse window

240
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:20,633
right there and it being such

241
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:22,266
a catching spot for the eye,

242
00:08:19,233 --> 00:08:24,066
you definitely want to utilize

243
00:08:20,633 --> 00:08:25,266
that spot a little bit

244
00:08:22,266 --> 00:08:26,600
I'd say better than we were.

245
00:08:24,066 --> 00:08:27,700
>> It looks pink right now,

246
00:08:25,266 --> 00:08:28,900
which I don't like

247
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,500
pink hydrangeas.

248
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:30,966
But they're going to be purple.

249
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:32,266
So your guys are putting coffee

250
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:32,733
in there.

251
00:08:30,966 --> 00:08:33,966
They're putting aluminum sulfate

252
00:08:32,266 --> 00:08:36,133
in there.

253
00:08:32,733 --> 00:08:37,700
>> That's probably one of

254
00:08:33,966 --> 00:08:41,600
my favorite plants to deal with

255
00:08:36,133 --> 00:08:42,533
because of the fact that you can

256
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:43,666
amend the soil and change that.

257
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,000
>> I joke about it

258
00:08:42,533 --> 00:08:45,600
because I'm a hobbyist

259
00:08:43,666 --> 00:08:47,166
when it comes to plants...

260
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,566
>> Right.

261
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,100
>> ...because I'm the cut-flower

262
00:08:47,166 --> 00:08:49,566
guy.

263
00:08:47,566 --> 00:08:51,066
>> Yeah.

264
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:52,100
>> And so I want to make sure

265
00:08:49,566 --> 00:08:52,900
that, you know, we're planting

266
00:08:51,066 --> 00:08:54,566
things that I can cut off

267
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,133
of that are going to have

268
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:56,233
beautiful flowers or foliage,

269
00:08:54,566 --> 00:08:57,333
and I can make

270
00:08:55,133 --> 00:08:58,566
cool arrangements with them.

271
00:08:56,233 --> 00:08:59,466
>> Yeah, indeed.

272
00:08:57,333 --> 00:09:00,733
>> This is the job

273
00:08:58,566 --> 00:09:01,500
of a landscaper.

274
00:08:59,466 --> 00:09:02,300
This is what you guys do

275
00:09:00,733 --> 00:09:03,300
and you're the experts.

276
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:05,700
And it's one of the things

277
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:06,433
that I've always believed in

278
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:06,966
is that you allow the expert

279
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:08,066
to be the expert.

280
00:09:06,433 --> 00:09:08,633
>> Correct.

281
00:09:06,966 --> 00:09:10,833
>> And that that makes things

282
00:09:08,066 --> 00:09:12,300
work better.

283
00:09:08,633 --> 00:09:14,133
So what happens with this

284
00:09:10,833 --> 00:09:15,866
is when I decided we were going

285
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:17,866
to pull out this portion,

286
00:09:14,133 --> 00:09:19,533
I worked with my friend Natalie,

287
00:09:15,866 --> 00:09:19,966
and she allowed me

288
00:09:17,866 --> 00:09:20,800
to tell her about the space.

289
00:09:19,533 --> 00:09:21,466
>> Yeah.

290
00:09:19,966 --> 00:09:22,733
>> And then she said,

291
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,500
"These are the plants

292
00:09:21,466 --> 00:09:26,333
that will do well for you."

293
00:09:22,733 --> 00:09:27,400
So I got those plants.

294
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:29,600
Then you guys come in

295
00:09:26,333 --> 00:09:30,633
and prepare the space.

296
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,433
So you took up the sod,

297
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,733
you pulled that away,

298
00:09:30,633 --> 00:09:34,333
you dug down,

299
00:09:31,433 --> 00:09:35,800
you brought in the garden mix.

300
00:09:32,733 --> 00:09:36,800
You brought in the topsoil.

301
00:09:34,333 --> 00:09:37,833
We've got the flagstone.

302
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,300
We're going to plant these.

303
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,933
We're going to put mulch on top

304
00:09:37,833 --> 00:09:42,466
of all that.

305
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:44,133
So that's your hard work

306
00:09:40,933 --> 00:09:44,833
and sweat equity in this thing,

307
00:09:42,466 --> 00:09:46,466
which is amazing, because

308
00:09:44,133 --> 00:09:47,766
if I was going to do it,

309
00:09:44,833 --> 00:09:48,866
I would get this far

310
00:09:46,466 --> 00:09:49,333
and that would be what happens.

311
00:09:47,766 --> 00:09:49,766
So I mean, that's the best part

312
00:09:48,866 --> 00:09:51,733
about that.

313
00:09:49,333 --> 00:09:53,166
>> Right.

314
00:09:49,766 --> 00:09:54,500
>> So then I come in

315
00:09:51,733 --> 00:09:55,633
after you guys have prepared it

316
00:09:53,166 --> 00:09:57,466
and place the items where

317
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:58,700
I think they're going to go.

318
00:09:55,633 --> 00:09:59,233
But then you also work with me

319
00:09:57,466 --> 00:09:59,866
because you're my irrigation

320
00:09:58,700 --> 00:10:01,333
people.

321
00:09:59,233 --> 00:10:02,700
>> Indeed.

322
00:09:59,866 --> 00:10:04,766
>> And you tell me how we're

323
00:10:01,333 --> 00:10:07,366
going to irrigate this area

324
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:09,000
so that we have everybody

325
00:10:04,766 --> 00:10:10,900
covered, and that may switch up

326
00:10:07,366 --> 00:10:11,866
some-- a thing or two that

327
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,333
I've placed and as we go along,

328
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:13,233
so it's very much a work

329
00:10:11,866 --> 00:10:13,733
in progress.

330
00:10:12,333 --> 00:10:14,700
It's very much partnership.

331
00:10:13,233 --> 00:10:16,400
>> Correct.

332
00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:17,233
I know the yard.

333
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:17,700
We've dealt with your irrigation

334
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,966
for years and years.

335
00:10:17,233 --> 00:10:20,400
>> Right.

336
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:22,233
>> And this used to be lawns.

337
00:10:18,966 --> 00:10:23,400
So it was spraying a lawn.

338
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,866
And the way you spray a lawn

339
00:10:22,233 --> 00:10:26,166
and the way you spray plants

340
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,333
are 100% different.

341
00:10:24,866 --> 00:10:28,366
I mean, the amount of water that

342
00:10:26,166 --> 00:10:29,133
you're getting into the ground

343
00:10:27,333 --> 00:10:31,633
and the way

344
00:10:28,366 --> 00:10:34,000
that they're getting -- I mean,

345
00:10:29,133 --> 00:10:35,333
if you were to hit a lawn rotor

346
00:10:31,633 --> 00:10:38,233
onto a weigela there,

347
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,533
it's going to tear it up.

348
00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:40,933
Just the strength of that water.

349
00:10:38,233 --> 00:10:41,900
Now, you hit it with a nice

350
00:10:39,533 --> 00:10:43,300
mister that we've used in here

351
00:10:40,933 --> 00:10:44,666
that we've changed,

352
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:45,866
that's going to get it a lighter

353
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:46,900
dousing of water and it's going

354
00:10:44,666 --> 00:10:47,733
to be better for the plant.

355
00:10:45,866 --> 00:10:48,833
>> And they're taller.

356
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:49,300
>> Yes, they are.

357
00:10:47,733 --> 00:10:50,233
>> Taller, they come up.

358
00:10:48,833 --> 00:10:51,100
>> Yep.

359
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:51,666
>> Water rather than

360
00:10:50,233 --> 00:10:53,500
coming out from the ground.

361
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:55,100
>> Correct.

362
00:10:51,666 --> 00:10:56,733
Normally for lawns, a mister,

363
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:58,200
it would do about four inches.

364
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,633
Well, with plants in here,

365
00:10:56,733 --> 00:10:59,733
you can't get over the plant.

366
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,300
>> Right.

367
00:10:58,633 --> 00:11:03,100
>> So we take a 12-inch mister

368
00:10:59,733 --> 00:11:04,766
that's set in the ground

369
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:06,600
12 inches and then will come

370
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:08,466
out of the ground the same

371
00:11:04,766 --> 00:11:09,533
12 inches to be able to spray

372
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,366
over and essentially irrigate

373
00:11:08,466 --> 00:11:12,133
this whole place for you.

374
00:11:09,533 --> 00:11:12,933
>> That's awesome.

375
00:11:10,366 --> 00:11:15,633
What's your favorite flower?

376
00:11:12,133 --> 00:11:17,700
>> Oh, man.

377
00:11:12,933 --> 00:11:19,100
There's a few on, on my top

378
00:11:15,633 --> 00:11:19,800
five, but I think my

379
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,533
favorite's got to be lilacs.

380
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:22,800
>> Oh, okay.

381
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,900
>> It's a smell memory for me.

382
00:11:21,533 --> 00:11:26,800
It takes me right back to about

383
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,566
eight, nine years old,

384
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:29,400
like walking through a garden

385
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,300
from my grandparents.

386
00:11:28,566 --> 00:11:32,000
Anytime I smell them,

387
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,966
I just close my eyes

388
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:33,600
and I'm right back as a child

389
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400
walking through the yard.

390
00:11:32,966 --> 00:11:35,933
>> That's interesting

391
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,166
because my second question

392
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,366
for you typically is what's

393
00:11:35,933 --> 00:11:39,033
your first memory of flowers?

394
00:11:37,166 --> 00:11:40,333
So that sounds like that's

395
00:11:38,366 --> 00:11:40,733
pretty close.

396
00:11:39,033 --> 00:11:41,733
>> And it was lilac, indeed,

397
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:42,733
yeah.

398
00:11:40,733 --> 00:11:44,033
>> It always gives me

399
00:11:41,733 --> 00:11:44,600
a little bit of background

400
00:11:42,733 --> 00:11:45,600
about the people I'm talking to.

401
00:11:44,033 --> 00:11:46,733
>> For sure.

402
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,366
>> So, you know, it's a

403
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,733
tradition for me to create a

404
00:11:46,733 --> 00:11:49,633
flower crown.

405
00:11:47,366 --> 00:11:50,533
So I've created a foliage crown

406
00:11:48,733 --> 00:11:51,166
from foliage from the yard

407
00:11:49,633 --> 00:11:52,833
for you today.

408
00:11:50,533 --> 00:11:53,600
>> Nice.

409
00:11:51,166 --> 00:11:55,233
>> So this is for you to wear.

410
00:11:52,833 --> 00:11:56,500
>> Awesome.

411
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,233
>> People always like it when

412
00:11:55,233 --> 00:12:00,833
we do the flower crown thing.

413
00:11:56,500 --> 00:12:01,433
So that's good.

414
00:11:57,233 --> 00:12:02,866
>> Let me just take that...

415
00:12:00,833 --> 00:12:03,900
Oh, it even --

416
00:12:01,433 --> 00:12:04,800
you got my cranium size.

417
00:12:02,866 --> 00:12:05,566

418
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:06,766
I'm pretty good at it.

419
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,266
I'm pretty good at it.

420
00:12:05,566 --> 00:12:08,766
So that looks good. Yeah.

421
00:12:06,766 --> 00:12:10,133
>> You've done it once or twice.

422
00:12:08,266 --> 00:12:11,500
>> Yeah.

423
00:12:08,766 --> 00:12:12,533
So now you can -- Now wearing

424
00:12:10,133 --> 00:12:13,466

425
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:14,833

Or golfing, right?

427
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:17,333
>> Maybe here, not golfing.

428
00:12:14,833 --> 00:12:19,233

429
00:12:16,133 --> 00:12:20,400

430

00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:35,966
Make sure you seal it up

581
00:19:34,233 --> 00:19:39,733
or it'll ruin all your paper.

582
00:19:35,966 --> 00:19:39,733
♪♪

583
00:19:39,966 --> 00:19:48,133
Now we can arrange

584
00:19:42,833 --> 00:19:50,066
botanical things on top of it.

585
00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:52,166
So I've got a little moss

586
00:19:48,133 --> 00:19:54,366
rose here.

587
00:19:50,066 --> 00:19:55,666
I've got a couple of

588
00:19:52,166 --> 00:19:59,233
geranium leaves.

589
00:19:54,366 --> 00:20:04,633
This is an astilbe leaf

590
00:19:55,666 --> 00:20:08,833
with all of those wonderful

591
00:19:59,233 --> 00:20:10,133
little serrated edges on it.

592
00:20:04,633 --> 00:20:11,266
Here's some parsley.

593
00:20:08,833 --> 00:20:14,600
We'll use another one of those

594
00:20:10,133 --> 00:20:19,166
moss roses over here

595
00:20:11,266 --> 00:20:23,833
so that we have kind of a little

596
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:26,366
harmony between the two.

597
00:20:19,166 --> 00:20:28,500
Any shape will work.

598
00:20:23,833 --> 00:20:30,066
So what we've placed on there

599
00:20:26,366 --> 00:20:31,166
is going to create a shadow

600
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:32,066
from the sun.

601
00:20:30,066 --> 00:20:35,766
Now here's the important part.

602
00:20:31,166 --> 00:20:36,900
We're going to lay a piece

603
00:20:32,066 --> 00:20:39,933
of glass on top of it,

604
00:20:35,766 --> 00:20:41,500
and it's going to push

605
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:45,100
everybody down.

606
00:20:39,933 --> 00:20:46,266
Now we're going to lay this

607
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:47,033
in the sun for 5 to 10 minutes.

608
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:49,100
When we come back,

609
00:20:46,266 --> 00:20:51,300
you're going to notice

610
00:20:47,033 --> 00:20:52,500
that all of this dark area

611
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:53,500
has become lighter.

612
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:55,566
And then we'll need to take it

613
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:58,400
inside

614
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:59,600
and rinse it off with water

615
00:20:55,566 --> 00:21:01,266
so that we stop the process.

616
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:04,333
And then we'll have our

617
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,666
botanical print.

618
00:21:01,266 --> 00:21:06,933
Into the sun.

619
00:21:04,333 --> 00:21:08,300
Here's a couple of examples.

620
00:21:05,666 --> 00:21:08,300
This is the exact same color

621
00:21:06,933 --> 00:21:08,300
that we were using.

622
00:21:08,533 --> 00:21:12,033
Notice how something that

623
00:21:09,766 --> 00:21:14,233
lays flat gives us

624
00:21:12,033 --> 00:21:14,233
a much better impression.

625
00:21:14,466 --> 00:21:18,566
This is a geranium leaf.

626
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,166
This is a fern.

627
00:21:16,733 --> 00:21:20,966
This was a piece of papyrus

628
00:21:18,566 --> 00:21:21,900
grass, and so I kind of

629
00:21:20,166 --> 00:21:23,166
had it set up there.

630
00:21:20,966 --> 00:21:24,733
And look -- it had

631
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:26,966
a lot of texture to it,

632
00:21:23,166 --> 00:21:28,766
but it really came out

633
00:21:24,733 --> 00:21:30,700
as a big white blob.

634
00:21:26,966 --> 00:21:31,966
So something like this that

635
00:21:28,766 --> 00:21:34,100
has a nice delicate edge on it

636
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:35,800
is going to create

637
00:21:31,966 --> 00:21:37,166
a much nicer botanical print.

638
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:39,300
These are curled up because

639
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,033
after we're done,

640
00:21:37,166 --> 00:21:42,866
we take the foliage off

641
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:44,666
and then immediately immerse it

642
00:21:41,033 --> 00:21:46,266
in water and rinse it

643
00:21:42,866 --> 00:21:47,800
until it runs clear.

644
00:21:44,666 --> 00:21:49,100
Then we let them dry

645
00:21:46,266 --> 00:21:51,833
so they curl up a little bit

646
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:53,433
and we'll press those down

647
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:55,633
in our frame.

648
00:21:51,833 --> 00:21:58,366
So this doesn't take long.

649
00:21:53,433 --> 00:22:00,900
It's been about five minutes.

650
00:21:55,633 --> 00:22:04,100
We'll take that off.

651
00:21:58,366 --> 00:22:05,433
We'll remove these.

652
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:07,633
[ Gasps ] Look at that.

653
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:08,200
Now I need to get those in

654
00:22:05,433 --> 00:22:09,600
and rinse them off.

655
00:22:07,633 --> 00:22:10,833
These are a lot

656
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,833
like photographic paper.

657
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,300
That's why we rinse them

658
00:22:10,833 --> 00:22:15,700
in water

659
00:22:11,833 --> 00:22:17,266
so that we stop the process.

660
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:18,933
And then we've got our beautiful

662
00:22:17,266 --> 00:22:21,900

663
00:22:18,933 --> 00:22:23,366
We'll get them in a frame, and

664
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:25,200
we can hang them on the wall.
