I really respect that you have turned TV offers down. You are very authentic and that's why we follow you. You would lose a lot of control if you were to step out of your bubble
Totally agree. Your sovereignty is vital.
Yes! Completely agree.
And international viewers would be left out. I'd guess they do have quite sizeble international fan base
Her husband and kid were playing in the beautiful background as she spoke of declining offers. And I was so happy to hear her thoughts as it shows her priorities are right. Because that moment right there with family is what what it is all about. 💚💚
I wholeheartedly agree! Also, some of us don't get those channels, so we wouldn't be able to watch anymore. Being on HGTV or the new Magnolia channel doesn't have to be the goal. Thanks for doing what you do! I have learned so much.
I vote for a looooooong summer garden tour. Who’s with me? 🌳🌳🌳🌳
Yes please ! Itching to see how everything has performed from the last few projects
It's the best thing about this channel, IMO.
Yes please! I love the long ones.😀😃☺🤗🤗🤭🤭💙
🙋🏼♀️
🙋🏻♀️
Anyone else loving Aaron and Benjamin playing in the background???!!
It’s was sweet watching them play ball behind Laura.❤️
Its friggin adorable! 🥰😍
At one point, I thought he was aiming bubbles at Laura. Then when a bubble passed in front of her face, he was no longer leaning forward in his chair but just sat back with a grin on his face!
Yes 🥰🥰
Looks like Aaron is having way more fun with the bubbles than Benjamin. 🤪😂
This is THE GARDEN ANSWER SHOW
Why is anyone questioning this?
So true! Laura is special because she does not want to have a TV show and that’s what we‘re here for. Garden Answer as we know and love it ❤️
Yes, the Garden Answer Show!
I agree with your "no TV shw" decision. You are spot on. Once you sign that contract with a network, they own you. And you lose who you truly are. And we'd miss you being our natural and beloved Laura, Aaron and Benjamin.:-)
Penny Agree! After watching Alton Brown and his wife doing their quarantine cooking show, I will miss his originality when he’s back on FN.
DigsInDirt Alton and Elizabeth QQ is so much fun!
Penny, so true. How many people's lives have been 'destroyed' by network shows. They build em up and then tear em down. HGTV lost the G in their 'name' long ago -- I no longer watch that network. Garden Answer youtube is my preferred garden channel (along with Impatient Gardener, Plantsman Corner). Keep being yourself Laura - you are the best.
I wonder who was enjoying the bubbles more, Aaron or Benjamin.
Aaron and Benjamin playing in the back round is the cutest! See the grass doesn’t go to waste 🥰🥰 love watching all of the family in the more recent videos.
Good to hear that you have no plans of doing a TV show. You guys do great just being you 😁. Love the content.
I often thought that I couldn’t believe that you didn’t have your own garden show because you have all the attributes for it. I’m also glad that you chose your family at this time. I do think that you will become a famous garden expert. A book would be so nice. I selfishly would like a garden coffee table book. Your garden vignettes are so beautiful at all times of the year. You are such a lovely person.
Or maybe just a calendar while we patiently wait for a book someday? I would totally order a calendar of your lovely garden photos. ❤️
Ditto!
Love that idea. Yes to a book!
Yes to a book!!
Great idea
Laura it is so nice to see someone who is just enjoying their life. Now that I have gotten older I see the value in injoyi ng the journey not just the destination. Life moves fast enough. I am enjoying my new garden and never rush. Hard to believe for me. When things cool off I will be sending you pictures so that you can see what you have inspired.🤗
Since I love gardening I love you're channel! I'm in California though in zone 9, so I just have to enjoy watching ! But since quarantine I have enjoyed you're beautiful property even more!🌷🌻🌷🌻🌷💜🙏🇺🇸
Sonya-it's easy to enjoy life when you have a dear little child to watch grow and develop. That goes for grandchildren, too.
In Laura speak.........I love the way you and Aaron” roll. “It is an absolute joy to watch the relationship that you have with each other.
You're a Plant Nurse. Which is amazing! I'm a RN, and its a calling. A tough one. Your videos have helped my stress levels tremendously during my Covid work. Thank you 😊 💓
😂 "I could buy more plants!" Oh how true to a gardener's heart!❤
Whispering...I could buy plants!" LOved it!!
Laurie Anne, that made me chuckle too 😃
Laura did say she would like to grow more cut flowers on the new property so she can make bouquets/arrangements to take to nursing homes and hospitals, which I think is a truly fabulous idea.
Love the fact that you and Aaron are choosing focus on what matters most to you and your family! I worked in Television for a number of years and the minute you allow them into your world, they will make you lots of promises, hide numerous caveats deep in the contract, and demand that you do things that you never planned to do. I pray that your channel grows to the extent you never have to answer to anyone but yourselves!!! I hope Aaron knows how much, long time viewers, love seeing him in videos. We know he’s the film maker but he’s also a wonderful contributor!
Ha! You're a master gardener as far as I'm concerned. Everything that you've suggested or demonstrated has worked when I tried it
I was wondering why they would ask a question if they are a "Master Gardener" and weren't going to follow the advice anyway 🤔 🙄 😉
In my opinion, your videos on RUclips are just like watching a TV show! I appreciate all the work that you both put into making such professional videos. I watch on my phone but I'm sure it would be even better on a large screen. I also enjoy hearing your voice on the radio doing Proven Winner commercials! It's like listening to a good friend..💖
You can get a Roku and watch RUclips on your tv.
@@karengrimes7590 that's exactly what I do. I don't even watch regular tv anymore.
@@karengrimes7590 Thanks. I agree, Roku is great. I have one, but just no internet right now.😔
@@Sparkula1 if you have a roku, is it safe to assume you have a smart tv? If so, can't you cast from your phone to the tv? I do that all the time. Why watch anything on such a small screen?
If you have a relatively new tv that has wi-fi capability and apps, you can connect your phone and tv to the wi-fi and cast youtube to the app on it and watch on the big screen. Of course you can look for videos for more info! Look for casting youtube to a tv.
Lovely you mentioned that being a nurse is a special calling. Thank you! Coming from a nurse here in London. Riel
dont give nurses enough credit... But i was taught the story of florence nightingale... and will always remember how overworked nurses are
Laura, I can see you being a nurse. I appreciate what you said about nurses being called, and it was wise of you to realize it wasn’t your calling. The loving way you care for your plants, chickens, cats and your family probably means you have a caregiver within you, which maybe lead you to nursing. Wonderful that you found out your calling is for plants rather than people, though. Instead you are healing people with your beautiful flowers. I made the switch from healthcare to horticulture, and the two overlap at times.
Hi Laura, Aron and don’t forget, Benjamin! Me and my partner are renovating our kitchen so I miss gardening. It’s 05:24 am in The Netherlands and I can’t sleep. It’s raining outside and I’m thinking about the kitchen over and over again, it drives me nuts! When I took out my phone and saw this amazing 40+ min video that you just uploaded, I grabbed myself a cup of coffee and watched the video. You magically shifted my mind from this messy, wrecked kitchen back to my garden. Tranquility and peaceful thoughts took over... thank you! You gave me a new energy boost and can’t wait to finish this kitchen and get back to my small, priceless garden. All inspired by you and your entire family. Thank you and please keep it up 🤗 lots of ❤️ from the Netherlands
I have asked this question in a few videos but I would just like to give you a opportunity to see it. At some point could you do another tree tour video ? You did one a few years ago but I think it would be good to see the new trees and the growth of old trees. Love you channel hope you are all staying safe.
Great idea, as with starting a new landscape, trees are the first consideration.
Yessssss
Mr. Bubbles...um, I mean, Aaron is having a great time. It's fun to be a kid again. Thanks for the video.
I so admire your answer about tv network shows and why you say no. You have an amazing family and you make it seem effortless❤️. I love how you make it seem your talking to all of us but singular, if that makes sense. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you 😊
Laura , Love your programs . I love gardening also but no way the size of your gardens . I have seen in other video's where the gardeners buy plants off the clearance racks and clean them up and they are beautiful plants after planting and giving them some care ! Just was wondering if you would be interested in doing a video of caring for clearance plants . Many of us can't afford the full prices of the plants but can afford the discounted plants . Thank you for all of your hard work and all of your great video's . Thank Aaron for his part in all of the video's . I can tell Benjamin is the love of both of you put together . I love that you call him by his full name . I never called my 3 boys by any other name but there given names .
I think that's a great idea.
Gardenaddicz has a YT channel and her whole garden is rescue plants. She is funny and has videos on her playlist of how to revive and care for almost dead plants.
I don't think that is her niche. There are other channels doing that.
@@lisawalters5482 I was about to comment the same thing! I just found Garden Addicz two days ago and I was yelling at the screen, "Where do you find all these clearance plants??" I'm going to try and start doing that.
PREACH! 🙌🏻I think of all of the "OG" shows on HGTV and TLC that I used to love that are no longer because "others" had ideas of what we all wanted to watch (which basically became RETV aka Real Estate TV). Thanks Laura and Aaron for sticking to what YOU want to do. ✊🏻💚🌼 As others have said, that's why we love and respect you and your family and of course learn from ya. Happy Summer! xoxo Christine in blazin' hot CO. 🥵🌞
I miss Paul James and Rebecca's garden.
@@martystevens2313 YES!!! I miss Paul's goofy antics. He was my Alton Brown of garden shows. 😀
All of those tv shows are so formulaic and homogenized and I find the format so boring.
I agree! Many years ago when I first got into gardening, there were several gardening shows on HGTV. Now it's just HTV, no gardening, and I hate it. :o(
ChrispyCritter, that is a pretty succinct assessment of what happened to that network.
No network TV! We love you doing exactly what you are doing 💚 “Less Drama, More Trees” Amen Sister 🌳
Well, it would be cable tv, not network. Big difference.
@@Bamboo4U2 Yeah, still no. But thanks for the clarification
Congratulations on your baby! Your family is getting bigger and happier! God bless you! 💜💜💜
Girl, you are living you best life! Turning down TV shows, almost a million subscribers on the tube and a garden to make the best gardeners jealous. AND owning all of it like a boss. No wonder we all love watching you! ♥️
Hi Laura, so GLAD to hear you WON’T be doing TV. That just made my day. Carry on 😘
Stay as you are! I like the realness of your show. T.V. shows are way too scripted. I'm not sure people realize the value of being at home with your child/children.
Completely Agree!!!
Homebodies don't get enough credit for the importance of providing a stable home life your children can rely on, as well as your own happiness.
Thank You Laura for putting family happiness in front of whatever $ offers the tv shows are offering!!
I love following you on You Tube. ♡
And who wants a camera crew butting into your life?
Plus, they completely (100%) control their time.
👏🏽 👏🏽 YOU’RE IN COMPLETE CONTROL! 👏🏽👏🏽 Love this channel, I appreciate that the audience can literally see and understand you and your love for gardening. Informative, entertaining 😂, and visually pleasing!
Keeping control of your content = happiness. Happiness is everything. Everyone loves you guys just the way you are.
I'm not done the video but this is so sweet and wholesome 💗 I truly feel like im hanging on your porch with you guys and just chatting and having a family visit 😭😭😭
I really appreciate these recap videos, they are so informative. I'm sure it's a lot of work to go through all the comments, but I'm glad you do because it's so useful to us viewers. Thank you!
Oh my gosh! I hope you watched this back to watch Benjamin in the background!❤️You lost me as soon as Benjamin started getting the croquet set out!😂 I couldn’t take my gramma eyes of that sweet doll baby! I got such a kick out of him copying daddy and pounding in the stick with his mallet! I had to rewind to rewatch what you were saying! Thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us! What a blessing you are to so many!❤️ Susan
Love love love that you’re happy with how things are going and not succumbing to major networks! I sincerely applaud you guys for keeping your personal priorities. You guys are happy and that comes through in your work currently. It’s the charm of your brand. Thank you for being you❣️
Yes, just love your family and you and hubby already are doing a tv show in my eyes.
I always wanted to be a Master Gardener and I finally accomplished it now in my retirement years.
I have to say that your knowledge and experience far outweighs mine.
In my opinion you're beyond a Master Gardener. Love your channel. I've learned so much more from watching you and your families business. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love for gardening with all of us. 🌻💗🌻💗
The tv networks just want to bank on your success. Girl, I'm with you, stay authentic to yourself and your family. We are die hard fans and we will continue watching and supporting you on You tube!
I had no idea you wanted to be a nurse! I have a degree in horticulture and worked in the green industry most of my life. I went back to school in my late 30’s to become a nurse. I now work as an ICU nurse but my heart is still in my garden. :) Thank you for bringing such joy into my life with your videos. ~ Heidi Hendricks
I am a fairly new watcher of your videos. I think you and Aaron, Benjamin are a wonderful cast of Characters. With the occasional guest, your mom, dad, the cats. The field trips to the Seed store, and lavender farm church. I admire your knowledge and drive. Thank you for all you guys do.
I want you guys all to my self. I’m not a fan of tv production. They seem to edit way too much and take the originality out of a lot.
You know, you could turn your gazebo into a green house pretty easy. you could tear off the roof and even use old windows with panes and could keep the bottom wood part. you would have to close in the cut outs, of course, but wouldn't cost that much and you could add a brick base later. just saying
Hi Laura! Fray Check. 😉 I was sitting here saying "Fabric!" LOL Love this video ... seeing Aaron and Benjamin playing in the background was so sweet!
I loved watching Aaron and Benjamin playing in the background. Super cute
Will you do Tool maintenance and rust prevention when you do the Felco piece? I am so bad at keeping up my tools.
she already made one on the main channel
ruclips.net/video/YzpKDkIOkJM/видео.html
Good suggestion
That is awesome that ya'll stay authentic to yourselves! If you are happy where you are then you are in the perfect place! Enjoy you and your family!
I'm loving these videos during lockdown. We get to see Benjamin more often. Such a cutie♥️
Laura - I just had to tell you that it made me a bit teary in a really good way when you were explaining how you were content and happy with your life as it is. It’s beyond inspiring to see that your heart and desires are for a simple grounded life! So many people if approached to do a TV show wouldn’t give it that much thought and care, you can tell so much about who you are and what your about! Family is everything!! You are delightful and your family is adorable!! I start each morning watching you! Thank you for all you do - both of you!!!
Please don’t ever get a show, I love this channel just the way it is and have seen so many channels go down the drain when their creators overreach into too many areas.
Laura, you’re not thinking properly on this greenhouse question. You obviously need two Hartley Botanic greenhouses: One to serve as more of a conservancy and for entertaining and another for more practical pursuits. 😀
Watching Aaron and Benjamin in the background playing was so entertaining. Love your little growing family. With so much negativity in the news I’d much rather watch you. It reminds me that most people in the world are kind .
Hello laura!..
U are doing great so far,with ur beloved husband and son..stay strong and all the best for u,family & all subscribers.
I like Aron’s thinking “people will assumed...” it was very funny 😄👏
🤦♀️
Just love the recap's! a great big THANK YOU for your dedication to home and family. Love Chip and JoAnna too but You, Aaron, Benjamin, and Dexter are already Super Stars here in our "Diggin in the Dirt" world! You keep doing you Girl!
Was just lovely seeing you and Susan having your special day in the lavender and please tell her that there was nothing ordinary about that wreath she was romancing! Gorgeous!
Hugs to You All!
It is Russell now 😼
@@bobbihofacker2706 ...and Cheddar...and sometimes No!
@@bobbihofacker2706 Gosh that's right! I've been scratching my head all day saying Dexter? Thank you Bobbi! I stand corrected and I know we all still miss Dexter God love him... Russell, Cheddar, and occasionally No are precious too!
Laura you are so genuine. I love your personality and you seem so wise to be so young ! Truly gifted. May God bless you and always lead you in a clear path.
Laura that’s how I learned too! Reading tags while watering at the garden centre I worked at for three summers through university. Unexpectedly fell in love with gardening and am now I am hooked for life.
Loved watching Aaron having fun blowing bubbles with the little guy.
I think you guys are soooo wise in turning down tv offers,....you say it so well,..you guys are getting to do what you love , at home, on your own terms,....and where you as a family get to work around all the things in life that truly matter most! We are so proud of you guys and your RUclips channel!
Also, their time. They could shoot four to six videos in two to three days, hand it off to their editor and have the rest of the week to plan other projects, maintain their property or just hang out. Once you're on someone else's schedule (a tv show producer), you're on their schedule. In other words, they're your BOSS.
Worst idea ever for these two.
OMG! Benjamin trying to catch bubbles in his mouth ❤️Too sweet for words! ❤️
I'm so so very happy to hear your response to the TV show suggestion. So happy you feel that way, you are so real and I'm not surprise to hear that from you and the reason why. You are so admired for thinking and saying that. We don't want you to go mainstream and commercial, your channel is so helpful, real and intimate, and we love that about you.
That gazebo will be useful in the future for your children’s wedding and gatherings. I know it seems like a long time away but you will be surprised how fast events come. Love your videos and congrats!!
Hi Laura I always watch your video while I'm working and I'll paused to what you doing or saying, you have this gift to draw your audience in as if you preached the gospel lol your transparency and the spirit of joy makes us gravitate to what your doing. Truly a gift from God.
Laura, you are so genuine and unpretentious. Love that about you guys. I feel like I am sitting opposite you on your porch and just talking to a friend about gardening. I need a piece of you every day! May God bless your family.
Well done. Love how you are able to deal with the ""know it alls" of gardening. A true quality. I get people always second guessing me and yet I have success.
Laura, you are just such a lovely person...so gracious and kind, patiently answering even the often impertinent question or comment. You have such an ease and confidence about you. You know what you know; you also know what you don’t know, and you share so freely all of your experiences. I have such respect for you and Aaron. It’s no wonder that your following grows so steadily. I wish you so much success in everything you undertake. Blessings to the three of you.
Laura let your inquirer know Garlic grows in Northern Montana and it easily gets to -20 or so in January and February with -50wind chill. It should be fine in Alaska.
So happy to hear that you turned down the idea of a TV show; I have learned so much from your channel, and to see things in the “real world “ is so refreshing. Take care Laura, Aaron and Benjamin❤️
"but I could buy plants"
That perfectly sums up my approach being frugal too 😅
BOO TV. WE LOVE BEING AT YOUR HOME!
We love you just the way you are❤️. Thank you for all the information and inspiration!!
Congratulations! So fun to watch your sweet family grow!💕
So much good info. Love watching Arron and Benjamin playing in the bacground. Aaron is such a good daddy.
So happy for you that you get to do what you love........and we all benefit !!!
Congratulations Aaron, Laura, Benjamin, Cheddar and Russell, on your news of a new family member 👶🍼
I LOVE that your channel is genuine and non-produced! So I agree. I love things how it is.
Congratulations on the new baby so happy for you.
Thank you guys!!! And congratulations on the new baby!! Happy growing!
So addicted to your channel. I love that you take us along on your daily life . You have us laughing, learning, and being inspired to change things up in our gardens! A heartfelt “THANK YOU!” For what you do. ❤️
When I fantasize about a Hartley greenhouse , I imagine it as an extension of my living area as well. They are just so elegant.
I found some lavender on sale at Lowe’s this week 3/$10 so of course inspired by your video some had to come home with me 😉
We are having such a great time, listening to you, but also watching Aaron and Benjamin, playing in the background! LOVE your channel! We don’t even watch television anymore! Don’t change a thing! 😎👍
Oh no Laura I feel so bad. Because I did ask about the trees being close to the fence and the roots. But I also said you were the expert. I live in NC hot and humid and red clay soil so a lot of things I’m sure grow different here from there. I love watching you and would never want to say anything hurtful. You have taught me so much. Please don’t think I meant it to be rude.😢
I love watching Aaron and Benjamin, very entertaining! I agree with you, no TV, your format is the very best! Keep up the good work! 💖
Hi Laura! I'm really enjoying these Q&A videos every week. Viewers ask the best questions and your answers are always so helpful! I, too, am glad you guys aren't considering doing any TV shows. You don't need to! Besides, I like being able to watch your videos when I have the time and not at a designated time. What you guys are doing, and how you're doing it, is the best! I like that you can do whatever you want, whenever you want and wherever you want with no restraints. Thank you so much for sharing this!
These videos are way better than a tv show. Real people, straight to useful info & no drama!
I love seeing you with your Mom! Can we see more of her in the future?
Yes, stay here on youtube, be your own boss! I think you explained your position very well. Thanks so much for all of these great videos!
Thank you for saying something about Master Gardener. I have run into Master Gardener who think they are experts on everything. Made me smile. Again thank you.
I'm so happy you addressed the issue of opinions & experiences. I've learned so much from you & when someone ask for advice on gardening I tell them what works for me but to keep in mind it may not for them. I keep it general because I'm no Master lol!
I’m LOL at her answer re “the experts”. It reminds me of Jenny Doan’s MSQC tutorials. She’s a no fuss kind of quilter. Laura is like the Jenny of the gardening world. 😍
As I'm reading the comments about you and TV. I think about what I've gained since finding your chnl. Lots of tips and techniques but the biggest is introduction to so many plants that I can't find in the big box stores. We don't have a garden center like you family's so before you I was limited to what those stores carry. Now you show something I like and I google it and get it sent right to my house, THANK YOU for that.
Lol oh my goodness I can’t believe my question made it into a video on here(and of course it had to have a typo in it 😂)!! I am in Boise and found you about the time quarantine started, and since I’ve had so much time on my hands I’ve watched almost every single video you have ever made and am sad I can’t binge watch anymore lol. You’ve inspired me so much at a time when I was so stressed out and have had so much anxiety, as I’m sure many people can relate too.
You got me to get out and get busy and start having fun creating a garden and little oasis for myself. I can’t tell you how much joy I’ve had watching you and your family and how much you’ve lifted my spirits at such a hard time. I’ve had more fun tinkering outside and creating my own personal little sanctuary then I can even begin to tell you, and it’s all thanks to you! I am so so blown away that my question and comment made it into your video. It seriously just made my day!!
I watched yesterday’s video where you were talking about the drift of chlorosis and it’s definitely the problem I have with my supertunias. So that answered my question already, but the fact that my comment made it in your video has me freaking out in an awesome way over here!!! Thanks Laura and Aaron !!
P.S. Benjamin couldn’t be any more adorable running around in the background’
Thanks, Laura. You and Aaron (and Benjamin) are just the best!!
Love these recap videos. I learn so much from other viewer's questions and your answers. So glad you're not planning on a TV show. I don't watch tv. I don't even have cable service. It's always a treat to have Benjamin and Aaron in the videos. And always a joy to see your mom too. She's so much fun. I love her laughter. I enjoy your talent and authenticity. Thank you for inspiring me to get out there and plant. Prior to finding you, my garden was so sad looking. Now it's a beautiful, relaxing place I love to sit back and enjoy my mornings and evenings.
It's too hot during the day and I'm usually at work... My neighbors have started complementing me on my garden 😊. It's all thanks to you and your videos. Thank you!!!
So fun to go back and watch these older videos. You get to see how so many of your wishes and dreams have come true, such as the Hartley. Congratulations on all you both have accomplished and cheers to watching more dreams come true ❤️💕❤️
Yes, Boise is awesome! My husband and I moved here in 2011 (from thw South) and have regretted nothing!
Sounds like you want a conservatory as well as a green house 🌿
You talk about your old house garden a lot and you also said you took down a lot of your old videos I would love to see before and afters of your old garden. I assume it was a lot smaller and would love to be able to see the old one with a more limited pallet. Thanks for your channel, we really enjoy it!!!☺️
