    Hi Laura and Aaron it was such a pleasure to meet both of you at the aquasape event - I loved your channel before the event but after meeting the both of you I love it even more. I found my hobby in gardening a few years ago and it helped encourage me to retire - thanks again for your inspirations. You both are truly wonderful people

    I hope it helps to know that I’m sure I’m not the only one who yes, loves to see the gardens in their prime and looking beautiful, but also likes to see the reality of things you deal with and how you overcome obstacles like mites and so on. The gardens don’t have to be perfect to maintain your content and viewership in my opinion. I like how you say you learn more from failing than from research and we get to learn along with you. 💕

    Ordered my kneeling pad after last week’s recap video. The entire process was efficient & stress free. I got a text yesterday notifying me it had been delivered. I opened my front door & to my delight there sat a box sealed with tape stamped with your logo. As a retired nurse with decades of wear & tear on my joints I’m always looking to work smarter not harder. The width & thickness does not disappoint & will provide much needed cushioning. The quality is equal to the standard you’ve set with your videos. I look forward to using my ‘garden girl’ (as my husband has deemed you) pad for years to come. Good job!

The first thing she said was "Laura hugged me!" Haha. You made a little girls YEAR ❤️ you two are just as pleasant and kind in person as you come across in your videos. Again, it was wonderful meeting you both and thank you for coming out and doing the meet and greet!

    Regarding the tea… If you feel that a tea is too bitter and dry, it usually means that the water was too hot and you let the tea steep too long. Especially green tea can‘t take boling water. Try a good quality loose leaf green tea, water temperature between 70 to 80 degrees Celsius (don’t know the degrees Fahrenheit from the top of my mind) and only let it steep 1 minute. You can use the leaves for subsequent steeps but decrease the steeping time (30 seconds). If you use too hot water and/or too long steeping time you extract too much tannins. And instead of a lovely mild delicacy you receive nasty bitter and dry leaf juice.

    • @ozarkview928
      @ozarkview928 4 месяца назад +6

      Thankyou ! I don’t like tea either except peppermint for when I’m sick , but I never knew how to brew it . I’m going to try this since I can’t have more then two cups of coffee a day .

    • @heatherwoods5703
      @heatherwoods5703 4 месяца назад +6

      Good info. I've learned to like some teas mainly herbal teas. I still prefer coffee and wine. 😉
      That said, I'm growing a few plants in pots--tea pots, get it? 😂 I started Chamomile, Anise Hyssop, and Agastache. They're looking pretty good, but I still need to read about how to utilize them. I think I saw that you can make them into tea from both fresh and dried. 🤔🍵

    • @debrascott8775
      @debrascott8775 4 месяца назад +6

      I think this is spot on. I rarely drink hot tea anywhere but home, where I can keep my kettle set to a lower temp, steep less and enjoy more.

    Hi Laura and Aaron! My sister and I had such a wonderful time meeting both of you. You both were so kind and gracious. It was my first meet and greet experience. A few years back, I found your channel as a new mom struggling with my new role, a global pandemic and postpartum depression. I started watching every day and it felt I was out in the garden with a dear friend. I took my son outside with me and started spending time in my own garden again. Over time, I started to feel like myself again. Thank you both so much for showing us your family life and sharing your passion for gardening with us.

    I know it's hard to show the pest riddled areas, but finding out that you guys are also struggling with it too is so helpful. I've had so much pest pressure this season that I figured it was just me and wanted to give up. Hearing I'm not alone, even among the pros, is so encouraging.

    A big part of your charm on this channel is how real you guys are. (Besides for me the fact that I know your area so well having grown up there.) But it’s refreshing (and educational) when you have such success and beauty with your gardens despite the struggles with Ph, spider mites, malfunctioning irrigation, tears in shirts, heat waves - all the things. And you show those things and their solutions. It makes you feel like friends or even family. Thank you for all you do. 🙏💚💚💚

    Bonjour, I had ordered a kneeling pad from you at the beginning of this year and I was well aware of the cost of customs and shipping . I am so happy I did so because it is so comfortable for my knees. It was worth the price, the taxes, the customs and shipping fees. It was my birthday gift. I am just sad that pink was not available at the moment, but I have the one with the logo. Thank you for everything!

    Reflecting on how you would start your cut flower garden differently if you were beginning today shows a thoughtful and proactive approach. Your willingness to learn and adapt demonstrates a deep passion for gardening and a commitment to growing beautifully. The insights you share are not only valuable but also inspire others to refine their own gardening practices. Your dedication to improving and evolving in your craft is truly admirable.

    It was so awesome meeting you yesterday at Aquascape! I mean, the ponds were cool, but LAURA! That was the highlight of my summer! Now I am extra recharged to get working in my space again. One tip I recently discovered and wanted to share is that you can get spray isopropyl alcohol at Dollar General (I think those are national stores) and use it to spray pruners in between plants. I carry a bottle in my "garden cart" aka the Can-Am side by side and it has lasted quite a while. Thanks again for coming to Chicago, I know you hate leaving. 💚💚💚✂️

    One thing you might want to consider is to have a Canadian distribution point for all your Canadian followers.

    I love my Sunday mornings with Laura and Aaron. Thanks. I'm in Canada too and wouldn't even consider looking at your store because of shipping but I sure would if I lived in the USA.

    It is hilarious people ask how old you are all the time. When you were doing a tour at the garden center you said you were born in 1984. I think you have mentioned how old you were when you had Samantha (36) I would give anything to be young like you again. Enjoy your youth! I really enjoy watching your videos learning names of plants and how to care for them. You have a lovely family. Sounds like you have a balanced life. People that have negative comments are probably just jealous.

    Oh no! Don’t stop shipping overseas, please! I love that I was able to purchase a kneeling pad and a couple of mesto sprayers from you all the was from New Zealand. Budget’s a bit tight right now, but there are a few other things I’m eyeing up for when I am able to. Thanks for all your wonderful videos. I’ve learned so much even if we’re zones apart.

    Thank you for the meet and greet this weekend. It was well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive down there.. I'm watching the recap video now and my husband is falling to sleep listening to your voice. Lol. Hope you enjoyed your stay and had a safe trip home. You and Aaron we're both great to meet.

    After seeing the El Niño chitalpa I got excited. No one in my area was carrying them so ordered one online from Garden Crossing in Zeeland Mi. Arrives looking great and planted it. So excited to see how it grows

    Good morning! I'm having my coffee and enjoying my friends at Garden Answer! I to Laura do not enjoy dressing up, especially wearing dresses! I used to have to dress for a semi-formal dinner and would always look for pants suits!☺️ and hats really cause me aggravation, lol! I live your channel and have told many people about it. I love seeing all the different plants and now look for them when I'm out looking for plants for my garden space! I'm slowing down a bit as my age is keeping me from doing what I would have done when I was younger. But I am still getting it done!! Perennials are my go-to with a few annuals in pots! Thank you for all the info and the joy of sharing your garden and family!❤❤❤❤😊

    It is so smart to get ahead a little bit with the videos because you can then take a break when you need to (for a few days off or to avoid the really hot weather). I hope you enjoyed Chicago.

    Laura I really appreciate how you allow your garden to evolve; keep things and also give yourself the freedom to move areas on to the next phase like the cut flower garden.
    I’ve been rewatching old vlogs where you and Aaron first set up the first iteration of the cut flower garden four years ago. Amazing transformation!
    Question: would it be possible for you to do a deep dive into the trees you have planted on the property over the years? Which ones worked well, what you would do differently (if anything) and what advice you have once the trees are past that first five year mark.
    Thank you!

    I also like to look at my flowers outside, not brought into my house. Although I’m going to plant a cut flower garden next year. I love the look of the abundance of beautiful flowers.

    I am loving my El Niño Chitalpa that I planted in a large pot on my patio, north Texas zone 8. 🌸 It’s so great to find more PW plants in our nurseries these days. I attribute this to the popularity of your channel! 🧤 After learning more about the plant size, I can’t wait to transplant it into the ground this fall.

    I SO agree Laura!! I despise getting dressed up. Give me my jeans any day! My mom always said when I pass, she was going to bury me in jeans...lol. I also am not fond of cut flowers in the house, but put them in my gardens to enjoy, oh yes!! It was a great week of videos, really enjoyed them. Hope you have a wonderful trip to Chicago, even if it is a short trip.

    Have you ever tossed around the idea of offering an internship/apprenticeship type job for people to work with Paul/you/Aaron? As someone who grew up with parents doing gardening but never paid attention but now at 40 am really getting into, it’s a lot of info to learn from scratch.

    What kind of mulch is on top of the roses and in the pathways? It looks great and I would like to do that and would it work for a cut flower garden as well?

    Don't apologize if dresses are not for you. A pair of black dress slacks and a crisp white blouse is classic and always appropriate!

      Dresses can make you crazy - too short, too long, too flowy, and then you need the "right shoes."
