Anyone else literally hanging out for the view of Laura’s moms face when she saw the hellebore?! 😂
Yep! 😂😂😂
Wish the screen had not gone black.
Yes! And then, the screen went black and she was back home. Also, one of the cats was at the door when she walked out and it just cutaway. This video feels rushed.
Yes ! But the screen went black 🥲
I was wondering what happened there myself.
When the screen went black instead of showing her mom's face I was so sad.. I kept going back to see if something was wrong. 😁 She's the cutest, so I can imagine.
The suspense is killing me! 😂
Ye I was also waiting for it 😂
Maybe the battery went out at that point or she forgot to film it?
The funniest thing is that we all love her mom so much that missing her face made an emotional impact on all of us! 😁
I feel like Laura gets more done in one day than I do in a month.
Agree!! When I am working, I pretend I am Laura, and then I get a bit more done!! 👍😆 And...I put a wreath on our barn this year!! That was such a “Laura” inspiration, and we love it!! 👍❤️🙏😁
Yes, she's literally flying!
I wished I have her energy!
Amen to that!
I know! I order the box wood wreath from Amazon! It arrives today. All over my gardens are inspirations, from Laura!
My Aunt June (94 yrs and still going strong!) makes a similar salad but with a southwest flavor. She uses cucumbers, onions, green chilis and garlic. The dressing is rice wine vinegar and water (3/4 to 1/4 mix). I love it!
My Aunt was born and raised and still lives on the farm her parents started when they came over from a small country just north of Germany back in the 1910s era. They started growing chilis on that land back in the 30s and found the ground in the valley down there to be perfect for the flavor of the chilis.
My Aunt June Rutherford is well known in her field and has had many awards and accommodations for her many achievements. The Big Jim green chili is her biggest. It was named for her husband who had started this project and then got cancer and died at an early age. He was any adopted brother to my mom. His dad didn't want him to continue his schooling in high school. He wanted him to quit and work their farm. He went and asked if he could live with my grandparents and work for them and continue his education. They said yes and they had no room in the house on their dairy farm so they made him a small room out in the milking barn. (Truly amazing what ppl did back in those days years in the 20s and early 30s!) He went to college and did his thesis on agriculture in southern New Mexico. That's where he met and married my Aunt June. After this passing, my Uncle Payne Rutherford moved there from California to "help" my aunt take care of the farm. Not too much later, they married and June became my real aunt!
There's several articles and a video or 2 featuring this dear woman. She reminds me of the Proverbs 31 woman! She could say jump and I jumped twice. She is truly amazing and I love her!!! Some of my love of gardening came from her love of the land and showing me a thing or 2 along the way. I have her bread recipe that uses a 10 pound sack of flour! When she baked their bread, she baked enough for a week. She made dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls and bread and other treats for a week and they ate it! We ate it. The best bread, ever!!!
I've gone on enough about her, I guess. I saw that recipe Laura made and it made me think of the one June taught me so many years ago. Now, I gotta go chop up some green chilies and make me some!
Happy gardening, y'all!!!
How interesting! Thanks for sharing !
Can you give us some kind of link to the info about June? Sounds interesting. :)
Lovely!!! Wonderful to hear these stories!!! Thank you. Wish I could move to a farm, but it is getting to be late in life.
Thank you for that bit of family history. Wonderful! Needs passing on.
Great family story :), please share her cucumber recipe if you would.
Maria in san antonio
I just love Laura, "gee this doesn't fit" - chop, chop, chop - "there fits perfectly". It reminds me of the cat saying If I fits, I sits. LOL have a great weekend.
Lol I was dying when she was handling that ax, I'm the same way" I'll make it work as planned!!"
All I could think was “Laura B took an ax and gave that plant 40 whacks”! 😜
Just get a cute hachet!!
🤣
I think you should put fairy lights on the branches in the Hartley 💙🥰
My family refers to you as “The Tomato Lady” (I found you searching for tomato pruning advice) and every day they ask “what did the tomato lady do today?” I can’t wait to tell them you planted with a hatchet. 🤣 Hey, it worked!! Thanks for another enjoyable video.
My family all knows her as Garden Answer Girl. My youngest heard me watching Laura playing piano. She told me, "Wow! Garden Answer Girl can really play!!" 😊
My husband doesn't know what to call her, but any time I have her videos on, he will softly whisper "Hydrangea.." 😂
How many of the old-timers of Garden Answer thought of Aaron ~ when he did "The Bowl" cut on the weeping willow & pulling the Sun Flower (aka: Sun Flower Murder) - when Laura was "hacking" the dirt from the plant, to make it fit? I adored those: Aaron videos because American's Sweetheart handled that with such Grace! LOL!!!
"I shaved off a little of the excess soil". In other words, I used an ax and wacked off the frozen soil to make it fit. I love your determination for gardening in the winter months. You're a delight to watch Laura as I sit in the warmth of my comfy home!
Who else could hear Laura's mom seeing the salad and saying "Ooh, how pretty!!"
I REALLY like it when you show us what you do on a daily basis.
For that spot in the kitchen: Go to a home improvement store, buy an 'upper cabinet'. Set it on the floor instead of hanging it on the wall. It will be the perfect height, depth and width. It will have 2 doors and 2 moveable shelves inside. You will need to place a top on it. Just cut a board to fit, paint it, and if you like, add a small molding around the edges of the board for aesthetics.
Did anyone else LOL when you saw the tiny hatchet??? 😂😂😂 greatest thing i think I’ve ever seen…
I love it so much😄Where there's a will, there's a way. Go Laura.
Even with a dusty floor, no heat, no nothing the Hartley is such a spectacular addition to the garden - a most awesome structure for sure ❤️👏
Laura it looks fabulous with those beautiful lemon yellow flowers peeking out and then Russell being bright orange adds a nice color too. Russell loves you so much and he follows you everywhere it is so so cute. Russell needs his own RUclips channel just a thought. I know who has time, but Russell is a whoot and we enjoy watching him sneak into your videos unexpectedly. Hey many blessings coming your way. Best wishes
That excitement on Laura's eyes when she is working, thinking, dreaming or making plans about Hartley is gold 🤩🤩🤩 More the over the piano 🤪
Living the dream ✨️. I love it 😀 😍 ❤️
Can she put the piano in the Hartley? 🤪
Laura leaving with the hellebores and suddenly, sedum! I almost heard "squirrel"! 😅 Everything was so pretty! Hope Benjamin had a great birthday!
Lol! I just commented the exact same thing before seeing your post 🤣
Same here! I laughed immediately and yelled "squirrel!"
Me too! Immediately “Squirrel!” popped into my head!!
🎶 Suddenly, sedum
is standing beside me 🎶
This was hysterical. A woman on a mission! I must be getting old - cannot for the life of me muster up this much enthusiasm for planting in the winter. That arrangement is beautiful.
I have trouble mustering the energy any time of year. It's summer here in Australia and I'm sitting with a fan blowing on me to cool down after trying to do a project in a bedroom which resulted in me having rivers of sweat running down my face and neck. Gotta love it 🥵
So true, I love how she just pulls out the hatchet and goes to town trimming frozen root balls and shrub
@@guidedandblessed where are you? I'm in Hervey Bay and it's muggy. Not much sea breeze atm.
@@guidedandblessed Gatton, Lockyer Valley maybe? Hope you get your rain. We are only 20 minutes away from Maryborough. We got 26mm while places near Gympie had 650mm last weekend.
@@guidedandblessed I'm just glad we missed it. It would have been terrifying. Middle of the night and the water rose so fast.
You know, what would look amazing in the Hartley, instead of that table? Another Galloway urn!! Perfect size and height, and great as a centerpiece!! Imagine that, filled with ever changing seasonal arrangements, and a beautiful chandelier above it... 😍😍😍
To fill the lower level of the cold frames in front of the Hartley, you could consider a "hugelkultur"-type process. Put smallish diameter (4-6") logs or branches on the bottom , cover/fill spaces with raw wood chips and potting soil, then another layer of smaller branches (2-3"), more chips & potting soil just to fill the pockets,and then your Espoma potting soil on top layer. I also innoculate with mycorrhizae as I'm filling the bottom layers.
The logs and branches hold moisture like sponges as they decay, and take a long time to do so. It's really made an amazing difference in my raised beds!
We've done this in all of raised beds as well!
honestly you could put a weed surrounded by more weeds in that Hartley and it still would look beautiful!! I'm excited to see my Hellebore plants this Spring once our cold snap ends (Indiana 6a) I love the salad making and seeing your light bulb project! Thanks for always making us feel like family. Happy birthday to Benjamin!!
Anyone else feel special to be here for the Hartley's first arrangement? 🌻
I'm currently going through minor depression and an anxiety attack, watching your videos really calms me down and makes me smile, not to mention Russel, Benjamin, Samantha Grace and your family too. I am so very much grateful for your videos and how your enthusiasm on creating beautiful garden. So thank you ❤
Feel better💗💗💗
Fairy lights on the branches put on a timer….that would be awesome to see in the Hartley.
Give him a 🫂 tomorrow and i wish you all happy birthday, and the cake will be beautiful 😍 ❤
My son and I were laughing are heads off with the axe today! Get it girl. Lol. You brought us so much peace today with no school/work on this snow day. Thanks for all you do!
I am so excited to see Hartley starting its journey.
What fun to watch on this gray cold winter morning! I enjoy watching as I have my morning coffee!!!
When I watch you and your love of plants it warms me and I realize I’m not crazy.
One of the funnier GA videos I've seen. Stopping abruptly for new plants while trying to quickly exit with an armful- honestly, so relatable. And then using a hatchet and reciprocating saw to complete a planter. 😂 But like most projects Laura does- it looks absolutely perfect. I'm excited to see the Hartley come together in the next year.
One thing tho...when she planted the arrangement in the greenhouse, the planter was a flat bottom concrete planter. When she moved it to 5he Hartley, she noted the feet on the bottom and said that the planter was made from a thick plastic material. I watched the video again, and, yes that's true. ???
@@gretchenburton7184 thats the plastic tray
@@gretchenburton7184 she was talking about the plastic tray not the concrete planter.
@@jgwood10 thx, I thought she was talking about the pot. Thanks for clarifying.
I wish that she had shown the saucer for the planter as have never seen one like it. Good to protect the table from moisture. Beautiful arrangement.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that runs around half the day just gathering the right tools and supplies for a project. Thanks for taking us along!
I live in California and we have had spring like weather (though slightly chilly) for the last couple of weeks and one of my Hellebores was full of blooms about 6 inches tall or so. I had to cut a few and bring inside (I'm a florist and can't resist flowers!) Now I'm just itching for actual spring!!
After Laura mentioned that she couldn’t wait to see Mom’s reaction to her finding the Hellebores, my screen faded to black. I got a little nervous because on the Sopranos whenever the screen faded to black… we’ll 😳. Hopefully Mom didn’t take it too badly 😂. The arrangement looks lovely Laura!
Mine screen did the same thing. So we both missed it. 🤔😩
My screen did the same so it must have been alright and it was just a glitch.
My favorite part was when Laura looked at the camera with a "how convenient that this is right here" look when she picked up the hatchet before going at the branch hahaha
6 things I discovered about Laura this year (it's only been a coupla weeks!)
1. Laura in garden center = kid in candy store. Mommy, I want this & this & this... ooh, and that & that... 🥳
2. Laura = super strong. I was almost convinced she'd lift that cement pot one handed. Almost. 💪
3. Laura + Russel = psychic connection. Exactly what she doesn't want him to do, he does. 😂
4. Laura = fantastic piano player. That 3 second snippet was enough, people.
5. Laura in 2022 = red bull on steroids. 😳 She's just zipping through stuff this year. What an amazing women. Seriously, is there anything she can't do?? Which brings us to -
6. Laura = certified genius (certified by her youtube family).
Thank you Laura, for constantly brightening up our days with your natural effervescence. Keep on shining! 🤗😍
The arrangement you put in the Hartley is really perfect. Laura I have to tell you though, you and that hatchet cracked me up. That looked like something only I would do. It will be so exciting to watch the Hartley evolve and all the magic you will put inside.
I SPY landscape lighting!!!! Can’t wait to see your video that does the overview of what you’re planning for the lighting (please, pretty please?). Adding lighting will give you a whole new category of interest. Now you’ll start to think about night/light interest in addition to winter interest. Based on your entry driveway, I chose an Autumn Blaze maple for the center of our driveway circle. When it was in full autumn color last year, and the lights were on, it looked like it was on fire!
I love Laura! Anyone else notice when her eyes fixated on the container she ended up using in The Hartley? I could almost smell the smoke from her brain slamming on the brakes and then changing her mind. Love the hatchet / axe work - I knew I’m not the only one that does that kind of thing. Russell has the best cat life ever!
Laura and the hatchet…🤣🤣🤣
The arrangement is Beautiful as Always! Love the concrete table!
Why does it give me so much satisfaction to watch you clean up your plants? Who knows?
Time stamp 10:36-10:45 made me belly laugh. Laura chopping away. 🤣🤣🤣
I was watching this while folding laundry, made it so much better. Thanks for keeping it real! It inspires me to try new things, and it's okay if I change my mind three, four, five times.
“I need a box” or a box truck lol. Love your channels!! I always find myself smiling through all your videos. Thank you for such great content ❤️
I love when you said "we did it!". I was urgimg you on cutting that branch. Your spontaneous exclamation was precious.
Such a Beautiful Arrangement. The cake turned out Awesome! I am sure Benjamin had a great day. Mine is always Brighter when I watch your Videos! Thank you so much for sharing.
I can’t imagine that everyone’s dream greenhouse would be a Hartley. They are so beautiful
Dang…that arrangement! That Hartley! That pot! And oohhhh, that table!!! 😍
Laura...I would never get rid of that cool tree branch. It has so many possibilities. Hard to find something natural with that kind of structure. Hope Benjamin and Samantha Grace have Happy Birthdays!
I’m cracking up 😂 at the hyper speed chopping, thank you for making my early morning just perfect ❤️
Winter wonderland. I love the fact that if there is a spot available, whether in the Hartley, greenhouse, or in the house, your eye catches something beautiful that is growing.
You have created a peaceful place to be.
I would give anything to have just a fourth the energy Laura has!
Russell is a big attraction--such a character. The Hartley arrangement is stunning. xo
Your excitement when you find something special made me think see it's not just me 😅
I love it when you show different things that you do; moving containers, planting and cooking! Especially cooking- I feel like I get to know you better and I appreciate that😃
“Never underestimate the right tool for the job” watching our dear Laura hacking away at that branch then switch to the saws all. 😄👍🏻 Been there, done that! 🙋🏻♀️Lol
The planting looks PERFECT in the Hartly!! Love starting my mornings with you all!!
Love the arrangement! The only thing it’s missing is some fairy lights 🤩
Beautiful arrangement for the Hartley! Put some fairy lights in those branches and it would be perfection!
Russell makes me laugh. My cat would never go out in the snow. Just looks at it thru the garden doors. There’s Russell walking right thru it all. Lol
You know he wanted in the box when Laura was on the floor unboxing Gardner Supply. 😺🐈🐈
he looks like a small bobcat on top of all that snow
I don't see the cats inside much anymore. I wonder if they stay outside all the time now.
@@flowergirl8887 I'm sure she spoils the cats the way she spoils the chickens. They are probably sleeping in another room. It's a big house. 😊
@@flowergirl8887 My cat is a housecat (he has to be for medical reasons). We have an enclosed garden that he loves being in 😂🤦🏼♀️ Even in the dead of winter, he’ll cry to get out. We let him out and since he’s a housecat, his coat is fluffy and isn’t thick like outdoor cats 😭😂 He’ll literally stand still, SHIVERING, but will refuse to come back inside 😂🤦🏼♀️
With a property the size of Laura’s, no doubt the cats are just never done exploring 😝🙌🏻 They will probably come inside at night when it’s dinner time.
That centerpiece with hellebore and branches: chef’s kiss. Perfect.
Laura, you are one crazy momma! The gleam in your eye when you picked up that axe!!!! Beautiful floral arrangement, as usual. I can’t wait until the Hartley is finished. Thank you for giving me a chuckle with my coffee this morning.
Absolutely love the arrangement in the Hartley! You CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Hand in plastic bag while cutting the Jalapeño. Who has time to look for gloves? Brilliant! Plus, I saw the post of Benjamin’s glorious birthday cake!🥰
The pot came beautiful! Can only how beautiful you will make the Hartley! Love that Russell goes everywhere with you, so sweet!
The centerpiece looks good. Now just add some tiny fairy lites so you can see if from the house.... then maybe soon you can hang some little red hearts for Valentines Day! Love it!
Yes! I was thinking the same thing.
I think it is so funny that Aaron seems always so willing to drop everything and help with anything- I’ve never heard him argue or resist. Does this happen behind the scenes?
You picked the perfect table, pot and plants ...heaven in a Hartley 🌿💚🌿
The arrangement looks like a natural vignette you’d see in the winter garden. Very cool!
Okay, have to admit I didn’t expect that branch to fit - it looked massive!! But it looks perfect! 😍
Love it when you include recipes. But, also like the plant education. Thank you, Laura. Happy Birthday, Benjamin! Do want to see his Cake.
I love the table and feel it's a much better fit in the Hartley. I'm sure Target would have a narrow organizer with drawers or bins to fill the space but, I immediately thought, "Yay, another antique shopping trip with Mom!" The arrangement is gorgeous, the salad looks yummy, and Happy Birthday to your Benjamin Bud. 😊💙
Yes! More antiquing!!! Love the outings with Mom!
I'm actually relieved that the Hartley didn't go from foundation to perfectly outfitted, filled, decorated space instantly. I enjoy the steady incremental progress on it. When things go from brand new/bare to instantly developed and done, I'm like, how do you get it done so fast? Is everyone's life just moving so fast and mine is at a standstill? It's so much nicer to see the Hartley get worked on one step at a time and enjoy the process.
Have you thought about using Huggel Culture for your cold frames? I used it underneath my large raised planting beds. It helped to fill in the large bins before adding all of the peat moss, soil and compost. Your new greenhouse is an absolute dream!
Laura your excitement is so refreshing to see, then you got out the hatchet and I was laughing out loud. Beautiful arrangement as always.
Always love spending time with you, Laura! Thanks for taking us along with you. 🥰
Oh my, Laura, you’re so talented and a natural comedienne with the axe and a bit later with the saw 😂
Did u hear the chickens saying “ that root ball is too big we need an axe”. I love how you have a tool for everything and you look so excited when you head to the barn to find it. Love you so much.
I absolutely love hellebores but adding that branch brought so much drama to the planter, I'm in love! Your planters always blow my mind because you use stuff I would've never thought of
First 10 seconds and I’m just in love with Russell! He is attached to Laura at the hip!! ❤️🐱❤️ Great video!
It's comforting to know I'm not the only one that forgets about some plants. I forgot to water a pot in my front yard flower bed and it's toast too! :( Oh well, there's always Spring, gotta love the joys of gardening. Thanks again for all you share, you're the best!
Would love to see a weekly bouquet video for the Hartley , featuring blooms from your garden! Maybe thrown in with the weekly recap video. 😄😄
Hi, Laura from Iowa! Watching the snow come down- supposed to get 8-10 inches! So pretty on the evergreens! Before Christmas, I planted a 3 foot baby spruce- keeping an eye on it! Loved the stick arrangement! So, here i sit, watching it snow, thinking of my side yard, and what to do under 2 story high lilacs that run all the way down the side of the house clear to the back fence! Glad Russell came along to "supervise!" Happy Birthday, Benjamin!- love and thanks to all of you! 💗❄️💗❄️💗
You always make the most beautiful plantings with hellebores! I'm still swooning over the pots flanking your double doors from last year!!. So pretty!
What a beautiful winter arrangement that is gorgeous I love the structure of the branches inside the pot with those flowers! Russell look like a superhero flying right up on top of the edge of that wall I wish we could jump like that! 😂
Now you are decorating the way I would! Beautiful!
You have no idea how much I love seeing something with natural brick. My head explodes everytime I see a renovation show painting brick. Good thing they weren't in New England or in Europe 100+ years ago or there'd be no historic buildings unpainted. :0 Love the brick!
The Hartley is so beautiful on its own but u are gonna make it such a magical place. I've been watching ur journey for over 5yrs and I'm so excited with every season change. Thank you again for inspiring me to grow something and just try it. I absolutely love watching ur videos.
Laura could you post the Cucumber Recipe please! Thank You! It sounds delicious 😋
I fully love everything about this arrangement from the surprise blooming helebores and sedum(great axing job tehehe) to the branches and cement table. Have you thought about adding lights to the branches for nighttime? fyi...I have filled containers as deep as the cold frame by using composted materials(ie grass clippings & leaves) in the bottom and then topping off with potting soil. It works wonderfully as it degrades beneath the plant roots. Thankyou for your continued inspiration.
Loved the inspiring cleanup on violas. I'm in 9b and my leggy xmas violas are getting hammered by the wind. Now it occurs I can trim them down and give 'em a break. Thank you Laura! You're the best!
Love seeing Laura’s Mom, she is just so sweet. Missed her…..must have blinked…Happy Birthday Benjamin and enjoy the cake 🎂.
I am so inspired by your enthusiasm and creativity. Could watch you all day...So, fun, than you!
I think we would all love a piano concert before busy Spring arrives. Based on the test drive you gave us, I'm betting you can make the Steinway sing beautifully Laura! What do you say, concert a go?
Love, love, love the pot with the Hellebores. I want a green house just like this....wouldn't it be nice! You are going to enjoy this so much.
It’s so funny to watch you say oooh I need that haha very beautiful arrangement and I also love how you own up to cramming plants together no problem. Thank you for the very fun winter variety videos.
This video had me cracking up! When one sees blooming hellebores RUN, do not walk to grab them up. Then using a hatchet to “trim” (read: hack away) the sedum soil. And then after planting sweetly saying “see it’s perfect, they all fit!” 🤣🤣🤣. I loved it. Thank you for the variety today and the inspiration to carry on in winter. Happy birthday to Benjamin!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day
Have your helper who is such a good woodworker make you something custom for that space next to the fridge. Like a cool built-in.
Watching this video makes me want to go outside and do something in the garden!! I want to buy new plants!!! Anyone else like me?! Am I the only one???
The Hartley is so beautiful, even empty. Watching you pot these plants gives me the itch. I'm in Nebraska and we have had unusual warm weather, yesterday was 58°. I did some winter jug sowing and have been checking to make sure they stay moist. Those plants are beautiful.
Lovely arrangement. I am interested in planting hellebores this year. Thanks for giving us a video. Happy Birthday Benjamin!!
Laura, I would be doing some hugelkultur in those Hartley cold frames: fills the bottom part of the bed so you don’t need as much soil, and then the wood will break down slowly over time and feed your soil. Cheers Alec
I would love to see an episode that is a “day in the life” from Aaron. Walk through the typical content of your day including using your equipment, editing, music, and running a You Tube channel. I’m also interested in the things you do around your property. You and Laura could switch places for the day!
