Love this idea. Within that video you could also teach people how to search your channel to see if you’ve done a video on what they’re wondering about.
Agreed about the FAQ video but what about creating video snippets editted from previous videos for a searchable playlist - I know I've found searching specific plant spotlights as helpful
Definitely keep the recap videos. I learn so much! And, I have a bad memory so going over things more than once is good for me. I don't care what channel you have it on, just please don't get rid of it. 😊
I like the way you've been doing these videos so far. As a long-time viewer, though, it does get a little tiring hearing you answer the same questions. Perhaps once per season you could do an FAQ-style video full of questions that you've answered in the past, but geared toward newer subs.
Did I hear you just say you've been looking at other properties lately? Did I just hear you say that? Did I? DID I?!?!?!?!? Laura, you've given me a case of the vapors. I need to go lie down. ~ Lisa
L B I could hardly believe my ears! After all the work they have done around the house and now with the new property I can’t imagine them moving! Did we misunderstand?
If I understood correctly, they are looking for a new home?? IDK why that makes me so sad but it does. They've only been in this house about 4 years and have put an unbelievable amount of work into it.
I'm good with the recap moving to highlights, makes perfect sense, but probably need to announce it on the main channel that has 8× the subs. It would probably bring more subs here too.
I like the separation, the main channel has projects and this one has the highlight and clips, nice. I’m so excited to see what you do on the new property!
I don’t mind the Q&A videos being on the highlights channel at all.. it is all Garden Answer and that just means we get more project videos on the main channel. Thanks for everything you and Aaron do!!
Laura, I love these recap videos and I don't care where you post them - I'll find them and watch! Often times people ask questions I don't even think about asking. I'm still new to your channel (only 8 months or so), so you are helping me a ton answering all kinds of things. My husband and I just bought a new house and the gardening is becoming an obsession, so your videos being me so much JOY! thanks so much!
I never thought I would love gardening this much. I never understood it. In February 2018 we bought our house & I somehow found your videos & have been obsessed with gardening ever since!!! Thank you for sharing your inspiration!
Laura got me obsessed with Christmas decorating lol. We were a one tree family and now we're a 4 tree, decorated within an inch of our life family lol.
You do answer allot of the same questions! I don't mind but sometimes I just want people to go watch other videos and get the answer. I can't imagine how you must feel. I like these on highlights lol more projects to watch on OG!!!!
70k new subscribers in a month!! Congratulations!!! You were my first RUclips subscription (I think about 6 years ago? )! First one I ever felt was worth my time. Appreciate all you do.
I love the recaps. I like to hear the answer to the questions. I haven't really noticed that the questions are repeated. I guess I need to hear something more than once to get it. 😉. I usually learn alot during these videos. There is no way to cover everything during a video. So this is a good way to get some more info. 💖💖💖
Love the recap videos! But I have to say, I’m in shock (along with a lot of other people from the comments) hearing that you would even consider moving from your beautiful home! I’m sure you have good reasons, but it’s so hard to imagine after all the work, time & love that has gone into this property!
Either channel is fine. Congrads on the new Subs, I may have a hand in that - told a few people your the one to watch. Suggestion: a history of your Garden, this may be a project for Ken(?) your editor; this can help your New Viewers see what the garden looked like before. For me (which I still do ) I binged watched your videos since finding your channel last year after my Mother passed away and you helped me get out and do things. Thank you I am blessed to gain your knowledge and your love of Gardening. Of course the sharing of your family too.
This is a great idea...I´ve been binge watching Garden Answer video´s month by month an amount of changes sometimes you see...Please make before and after video..
I like the recap videos, when I hear someone elses questions it is like being in a class, and I learn more. I also find I miss quite a bit as I'm usually distracted thinking how can I apply what your doing to what I have to do in my garden! LOL, so please keep them coming!!!
I love hearing all of the questions. A lot of them are questions I never thought of. I have been watching your videos for several years now. I have no problem hearing the same answers more than once. I love being able to answer the questions in my head before you say the answers. It means I am learning something. Keep up the good work. I love your channel.
Could you (Aaron?) sometimes edit your prior Q&A’ into a FAQ video and post several times a year and then refer people to them. Maybe it would be less shooting for you and just more editing, maybe by subject? I love these videos and I learn so much. I don’t care where they’re posted. I’ll find them. Like today we got 2 videos from you😍😍
I really like the recap videos. Helps me catch some things I have missed. Thanks for all the wonderful videos you share every day. It’s what I wake up and look forward to viewing.
I love these videos but notice that most people are asking questions that you have already explained in the video. They really need to listen to what you’re saying before asking the questions 😂 Love the recapping though... well any video you put out, I’ll watch them all 😉
I wonder if part of the problem is that the videos aren't searchable by question. So unless watch every video, you don't know if she's answered that question before. If question key words were tagged or added in the description section, would that make the questions/answers searchable??
I agree with you on the gravel - especially with an older home. I think any type of paving material (concrete or asphalt) would change the aesthetic too much - “commercial” is a good work. I do like cobblestones or brick but with all the drive you have you’d have to be millionaires.
The recap is my favorite video of the week, barring tour videos :) It doesn't even need to be answering the same questions. I just enjoy the long conversation format about gardening. Like a podcast. I watch while I get ready in the morning and it allows me to listen and not have to click off after 10 min and find something else. I always enjoy over explaining too! So hearing more of the behind the scenes makes me feel like I am getting additional education.
It makes total sense to me that you would move the weekly question and answer videos to this Highlights channel. I so enjoy all of your videos and am thrilled that you have two channels for me to watch. By far the best gardening channels on You tube, in my humble opinion. Thank you for all of your inspiration and information!
Laura, I used to just buy plants, put them in the ground or containers and water whenever it seemed needed. I didn’t understand why my plants were failing. You have given me such an education on gardening. I now understand the importance of feeding and really caring for my gardens. Thank you so much for all you and Aaron do.
Hi Laura, You are amazingly patient and dedicated to answer so many of our questions. I like the questions being on a separate channel. I would prefer if you would answer primarily questions that have NOT been asked before.
I like that you moved the recap videos and agree you answer the same questions in multiple videos. Have you considered doing FAQ videos on soil, weeds, fertilizing . . . and posting them so you don't have to answer the same questions multiple times. Your videos are so positive and a great inspiration for all gardeners. Thank you for what you and Aaron do!
Never really got into gardening, but since watching your channel I started growing from seed and buying plants like crazy!! I have over 100 plants from actual grown blooming plants to seedlings almost ready to put out. I get so excited about gardening and nobody understands why!! I hope you know how much inspiration you give to people! You’re amazing, thank you for everything!
I love the recap videos for two reasons. 1) It's a great way to look back at your videos since they are all cataloged by the week. 2) It never fails, I always hear something new or reinforce something that I already knew. Please keep them up. I'm a much better gardener because of you. You've taught me to be brave and experiment with things I've never tried. I bought several hundred bulbs with you from Color Blend last fall and I was so thrilled to have all that color so early in this year. By the way, my Iris still look amazing! I'm in Vancouver WA.
I love the recap videos. It is amazing how I miss some of the things that other people notice in the background. Doesn't matter which channel you have it on. Keep up all the wonderful projects and beautiful home life.
The recap videos are definitely helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your positive energy. It's been very much needed during these times. You are very inspirational and you've given me the courage to tackle my own garden. My 10 year old son and I have been enjoying your daily videos and we are learning so much from you. So glad I found your channel! Many blessings from Zone 10.
I really do enjoy the recap videos. A lot of times I learn something from someone else’s question that I’d never even thought to ask. And it’s fun to see if any of my question/comments will make it ! You’re so right about the positivity of the garden community! If you don’t enjoy playing in the dirt, you just won’t get it. Thanks for all the joy and information you bring to an amateur like me 🙂
I’ve noticed the addition of more red hues in your containers this year too! I think adding them to the vegetable garden area is beautiful because the flowers will mirror the color of the tomatoes!
Hi Laura! I’m one of your new subscribers and I absolutely love both channels! Always a little sad when you say, “well that’s it for this video!” God bless !
I love this kind of video! It's so fun to have the chance to virtually interact with you, but I get your comment on feeling like a broken record. What if you had a FAQ page or video you could link to in response to those questions? Another fun idea would maybe be having a spot to submit questions on your website too, and you go through those too, like once a month or something. That way we could maybe get a bit more variety, as people wouldn't feel restricted to questions based on the content of the video? Just a few ideas! Thanks SO much for all you do. My husband and I are going through the process of buying our first home and it is SO fun to see your videos and get inspiration for a garden I could actually have, instead of my containers that I had in our apartments! I've already told him alllll about the patio video you guys did a while back. We hope to build our own with that as a guide! Thanks again!
YES, this type of video is SO HELPFUL. Your knowledge seems endless, you present so concisely and move right along with good information. These Q&As bring up subjects many of us need to know, often not even knowing we needed to know until you told us!
I’m so excited to have found you. I’ve been watching your videos everyday at lunch time and I can’t wait to go buy some plants and garden more! Thank you so much Laura!
Did I just hear you say you’ve been looking at other properties?? After the years of hard work that you’ve put into that garden and you’ve just bought an extension to it? I couldn’t imagine you gardening in a different garden
Hi Laura , I just wanted to comment on something you said in this weeks recap video that is so sweet ❤ 😊 💗 you stated how you get positive energy from this community of plant and gardening lovers, I'm hear to tell you that me being one of those get so much energy and inspiration from you and your love of plants and I thank you with all my heart. Im older now and can't do as much as I'd love to but I love watching your excitement of gardening. Thank you and God bless you and Aaron for these videos.
I appreciate that you are so generous with your time to sit down and answer questions like you do. Especially given that we all know how many projects you are anxious to do outside. We learn so many different, wonderful things about plants and planting from you. I find myself doing a search on your channel from time to time of knowing that you did a video on a specific plant and knowing your videos are such a wonderful resource for us gardeners. You’ve provided us with a huge library and I thank you!!
I love that you think of what your viewers are looking for in content. If moving this video to highlights means more planting videos, I’m here for it! I do love these videos, it’s nice to have a dialogue going with questions
I love these videos! I love that you take the time to answer questions from viewers! I know there’s so many times I hear questions asked that I was thinking while watching the videos. Thank you for all you do!
I have planted a columar orange rocket barberry, so beautiful.. a deer ran through it and it was flopping over and started growing wrong, i tied it up with twine, hope it fixes it. Im in zone 5 also, wondered if you have one of these, it is such a pretty show plant. Also saw something in one vides i want to know it looked about 2 ft tall, and 3 ft wide, red blooms in a large area,with other things
I really like your recap videos. If there is a question you have answered before I still listen carefully to see if I can learn something new. Honestly, the best thing about your videos Laura is...you! You give GREAT gardening information, ideas and advice, but in the end it is you that I enjoy "being around." You are cheerful, fun, relatable, positive, progressive, industrious, talented, ambitious (I could keep going, but I'll stop there), exactly the type of person I like to be around (hoping some of those attributes will rub off on me! ;) I also love the times we get to see Aaron, Benjamin, your Mom, other family and friends, and of course, Russell! (You couldn't train a cat to come in on cue and climb a tree or arbor or do something else entertaining in the background the way he does!). All of these good things and I also get an occasional "walk" in your garden and you sharing your gardening projects and experiences. 💟 I am just along for the ride, however you and Aaron decide to steer it. 🌼🌻🌷🌸💐🌺
Just a suggestion! Keep the gravel or do permeable pavement! Paved roads will keep water from absorbing into the ground and can cause flooding in areas that normally don’t! Of course if is your land this is just a recommendation! Thanks for all that y’all do! Much love from Texas!
YES! Do continue this type of video! I am such a relatively new gardner that I watch everything you put out and have learned so much. Of course I now realize I have to change the location of some of my plants :) and I am so much more mindful of the zone and sun requirements of plants now, annual v perennial, which has made me so much more successful. Little does my husband know that half of our front lawn will be converted to a planting bed this year, LOL.
You give me so much pleasure watching you. I have always wanted to have a gardens like you. I am disabled now and am unable to be in the heat and getting on my knees is impossible. I do alot of container planting but I have to ask my husband to drag the hose around and he is pretty good about it. We are going to start doing some renovations and my husband said he would set up a drip system when that is complete.
I so enjoy the recaps! For what it’s worth, I’d be none the wiser to their being a separate channel because RUclips has your videos in my feed. Love that you have so many ideas blooming ❣️
I really love these kinds of videos! I’ve only been gardening for 3 years, 2 years in earnest, and even the repeat questions are great to hear answers to again and again. It’s a lot to absorb!!!
Hello, from one of your new subscribers. I am loving your content and find it so inspiring. We have completely renovated our old house (we live in the UK) and are now finally focusing on landscaping our garden. We have a very old mature garden but it has been neglected over the years so we have lots of overgrown plants. As we carve out each new space we’re building our garden using a few new plants and rescued plants from other areas. Thank you for all you do to motivate and inspire us! 🌱🌸🌿🌷🌼
Have you also thought about resin bound gravel? It’s the best of both worlds, looks like gravel but is a totally flat surface which would mean Benjamin can ride bikes more easily. Although, it’s expensive so may not be cost effective.
Never commented before - just wanted to say these videos have been SUPER helpful for me. I've learned so much from watching these weekly recaps. I don't care which channel they are on, but I do hope you continue them.
Hi Laura & Aaron👋🏼Being a long time subscriber to both channels I don’t mind the recaps being posted here. I get alerts for both he he. And I think you answering a question from previous other videos is good because it’s refreshing to be reminded on how to do something, specially for new gardeners. You’ve actually helped up my gardening game🤗 Laura and Aaron a big thank you for everything you teach us.
I like the recap videos. Of course some question are redundant, but for new viewers, it may be their first time hearing the answer to a previously asked question. I'm okay with watching you repeat the answer to the new viewers because new viewers means your channel is growing and that equates to your overall success and ability to continue doing ALL the videos for us! I also feel like these are coversational videos and you guys shine as the personable, humble folks you are! Love it!
Yes these videos are extremely helpful. Plus, I really enjoy sitting with a cup of tea and just listening to you answer questions and discuss the previous week's videos. It feels like company lately.
Yay! So glad you're still doing the Q & A! I love all your videos but I do super look forward to the weekly review. I learn so much good info and it's got such a relaxed vibe that it feel like having a fun coffee chat with a friend...about plants! Which is something I rarely get to do in my friend circle 😆
I do like having these question/answer videos. It brings up things that I haven't thought about necessarily and seems to always jog some learning opportunities, while listening. Thanks, Laura.
I love the recap videos! I learn so many tips and tricks, they've been super-helpful. I used to watch my mom take care of her plants, so I know some, but there's so much more I don't know and don't have anyone to ask. So thank you. My mom would have loved you!
Love the video! Also I think you would like a paved driveway. Your softscape is awesome so any hardscape you use will look fantastic! I think a paved driveway will add another dimension of color. The gravel is monotone and pavement adds a darker color so it will make your plants pop more than they do now. Your family is awesome! You are living MY best life!😁😁😁
I love the recaps on the highlight channel and yes I love all your videos. The highlight videos are very helpful to me. Thanks for all you do for us Laura, Aaron and Benjamin!!!
Please continue the Q&A videos, we love them....and really we dont mind if are on this channel or the Garden Answer one. We watch both of them so please keep them comming!
I love the recap!! I like to hear other people's questions, cuz a lot of times I haven't even thought of them!. I personally have no preference which channel you post them on. I watch them ALL!!!! Lol
I recently found your main channel and subscribed and now added this to my list. I really like both formats, you have so much information to share and are so generous with your time and knowledge. I have been gardening for years here in western NC (zone 6b) and viewing your videos has re-inspired me. I am now rearranging old beds with the help of your ideas. Keep up the good work.
They are very helpful just like they are. Putting them in highlights is great. Your rationale makes sense. You guys do an incredible amount of videos and all of them are helpful, fun, enjoyable, educational and inspiring. Keep it up, please? Oh, and don’t move! Not yet...just have another baby and stay put. Lol. Spoken like a true grandma. 😉 God bless. 💕👏🏻💕
I enjoy these videos because I don't always think to ask some of these questions asked by other active gardeners. I'm still very new to gardening and love learning from your answers.
Your recap videos are extremely helpful. I have my app open (MS ToDo) while watching and add info that I know I will forget in 10 mins 🤪. This way I can look up what to do with my perennial salvias after they bloom. For any other gardeners out there who can’t keep it all in memory - I created a set of folders in the app for each month’s tasks and another set per plant. Yes, it takes time to enter all the info, but It is an invaluable resource‼️
I love the recap videos! I saw a complaint from someone on a recent recap, about how they're redundant and kind of pointless-- moving the recap videos to this channel seems like a totally brilliant solution!
I'm a gardening fiend, too! And I love it when I get to geek out with other gardeners. I like the recap videos and all your other ones too! Keep 'em coming!
You got your hair done! It looks great! ❤ I love your recap videos. I feel like it's a chance for me to learn even more from you and I look forward to them.
I love the recap videos as there is always more good info! I like that the video has sections based on which one you are answering. It is great to have a positive place to talk plants and gardening with others -- love the community here!
I find gardening very absorbing and therapeutic. Often I plan to be outside for just an hour and then realize that the whole afternoon has gone by and it is time for dinner!
I loved this video...extremely helpful. I learned so much. I am so grateful I found your channel. I have redone several flower beds and planted up numerous containers this year. It has helped me get through this past couple of months. I love looking out my windows and seeing so many beautiful flowers!!! Thank you Laura and Aaron!!!
Hi Laura and Aaron! It doesn’t matter where you post your videos I will find them!☺️ I do like that you added this to your highlights channel. I just want to tell you that before 2019 I never had an interest in gardening, zilch! My yard was very bare. Well, I happenstance on one of your succulent videos and you sucked me in!!! Love your energy, positivity, and style. My yard has been completely transformed and everyone has been impressed and I owe it all to you. So thank you for helping me cultivate my green thumb💕 When the time is right and you decide to make a B&B (with shuttles to Andrew seed Co. 😉) I know it will be successful for sure! Wishing you more success!!
Yes!! Love these videos! You answer a lot of our questions and give so much more additional information! I seriously don’t know how you guys put so many videos out per week! I love that you do!
Love this type of video and unboxing as well. Can’t wait to see the new property grow. Your family takes on a lot and it shows very well. Excited to see the annuals planted. I am adding a few pumpkins and watermelon in my beds just for giggles. My granddaughter loves those type of surprises. Look forward to coffee and your channel everyday. Bought some latte supertunia annuals, slow start but still working on feeding them regularly so I can get a big burst and fill the bed. The bubblegum was amazing last year, people stopped to take pictures all the time. So funny.
Please continue the recap videos! It’s a great source to gain more insight and knowledge. Thank you for taking the time to view the questions and feedback. I was missing it until I saw you moved it to highlights so you may want to make an announcement about where to find it now.
Hi Aaron & Laura. Would you consider a FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) video and link that video below each time you post the highlight video?
Claudia Smith now that is a great idea! Thanks Claudia! 😘
@@gardenanswer 🤗😘
I came here just to say the same thing! After hearing Laura answer that they have a well, for about the fifth time. 😆
Love this idea. Within that video you could also teach people how to search your channel to see if you’ve done a video on what they’re wondering about.
Agreed about the FAQ video but what about creating video snippets editted from previous videos for a searchable playlist - I know I've found searching specific plant spotlights as helpful
Definitely keep the recap videos. I learn so much! And, I have a bad memory so going over things more than once is good for me. I don't care what channel you have it on, just please don't get rid of it. 😊
Right. Much better to hear something more that once so it sticks.😊
I like the way you've been doing these videos so far. As a long-time viewer, though, it does get a little tiring hearing you answer the same questions. Perhaps once per season you could do an FAQ-style video full of questions that you've answered in the past, but geared toward newer subs.
“You are my people “. I agree!!!💜💜💜💜. And yes I love these recap videos!!! Please keep doing them. I don’t care which channel, I watch them both!!!
Did I hear you just say you've been looking at other properties lately? Did I just hear you say that? Did I? DID I?!?!?!?!? Laura, you've given me a case of the vapors. I need to go lie down. ~ Lisa
L B I could hardly believe my ears! After all the work they have done around the house and now with the new property I can’t imagine them moving! Did we misunderstand?
Same here!
I was confused too. They just bought more land ...
I think they are talking about investment property’s .
If I understood correctly, they are looking for a new home?? IDK why that makes me so sad but it does. They've only been in this house about 4 years and have put an unbelievable amount of work into it.
I'm good with the recap moving to highlights, makes perfect sense, but probably need to announce it on the main channel that has 8× the subs. It would probably bring more subs here too.
I subscribed to this channel because of this series.
I like the separation, the main channel has projects and this one has the highlight and clips, nice. I’m so excited to see what you do on the new property!
I don’t mind the Q&A videos being on the highlights channel at all.. it is all Garden Answer and that just means we get more project videos on the main channel. Thanks for everything you and Aaron do!!

Laura got me obsessed with Christmas decorating lol. We were a one tree family and now we're a 4 tree, decorated within an inch of our life family lol.
🙋🏻 exact same scenario for me too! We bought in September 2018
Exact same for me! We bought our house in December 2017 and found her channel in Feb 2018. I’m so glad I did! ☺️
You do answer allot of the same questions! I don't mind but sometimes I just want people to go watch other videos and get the answer. I can't imagine how you must feel. I like these on highlights lol more projects to watch on OG!!!!
70k new subscribers in a month!! Congratulations!!! You were my first RUclips subscription (I think about 6 years ago? )! First one I ever felt was worth my time. Appreciate all you do.
This means we will get 8 videos a week. Yippie!!!!!
I like everything you do and never miss a video. BUT I CANNOT BELIEVE Y'ALL WOULD MOVE!!!!
I love the recaps. I like to hear the answer to the questions. I haven't really noticed that the questions are repeated. I guess I need to hear something more than once to get it. 😉. I usually learn alot during these videos. There is no way to cover everything during a video. So this is a good way to get some more info. 💖💖💖

I like the recap videos, when I hear someone elses questions it is like being in a class, and I learn more. I also find I miss quite a bit as I'm usually distracted thinking how can I apply what your doing to what I have to do in my garden! LOL, so please keep them coming!!!

Annette Biering this is a great idea!
I really like the recap videos. Helps me catch some things I have missed. Thanks for all the wonderful videos you share every day. It’s what I wake up and look forward to viewing.
The re-cap video is very often helpful. Seems we all need answers and our questions are similar. Also provides extra detail...keep 'um coming!
I love these videos but notice that most people are asking questions that you have already explained in the video. They really need to listen to what you’re saying before asking the questions 😂 Love the recapping though... well any video you put out, I’ll watch them all 😉

I agree about the gravel. Plus I like the sound when people walk or drive on it.
I love the recap videos. Not to mention we get an extra video a week!!! Heck ya! I watch them every morning before work.
26:43 Gasp!
We love everything you guys do. Just do you and we’ll watch! Go GA! It’s going to be a fun season!!
The recap is my favorite video of the week, barring tour videos :) It doesn't even need to be answering the same questions. I just enjoy the long conversation format about gardening. Like a podcast.

I have over 100 plants from actual grown blooming plants to seedlings almost ready to put out. I get so excited about gardening and nobody understands why!! I hope you know how much inspiration you give to people! You’re amazing, thank you for everything!
I thoroughly enjoy these videos. They are like conversations with an old friend.
I love the recap videos for two reasons. 1) It's a great way to look back at your videos since they are all cataloged by the week. 2) It never fails, I always hear something new or reinforce something that I already knew. Please keep them up. I'm a much better gardener because of you. You've taught me to be brave and experiment with things I've never tried. I bought several hundred bulbs with you from Color Blend last fall and I was so thrilled to have all that color so early in this year. By the way, my Iris still look amazing! I'm in Vancouver WA.
Love love love your recap videos! Please don’t ever stop. You could post a million videos a day and 👏we 👏would 👏 be 👏 here 👏 for 👏 them 👏 ALL!
I love the recap videos. It is amazing how I miss some of the things that other people notice in the background. Doesn't matter which channel you have it on. Keep up all the wonderful projects and beautiful home life.
The recap videos are definitely helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your positive energy. It's been very much needed during these times. You are very inspirational and you've given me the courage to tackle my own garden. My 10 year old son and I have been enjoying your daily videos and we are learning so much from you. So glad I found your channel! Many blessings from Zone 10.
Your not going to hear me complain when I get two videos in one day! :)
I really do enjoy the recap videos. A lot of times I learn something from someone else’s question that I’d never even thought to ask. And it’s fun to see if any of my question/comments will make it ! You’re so right about the positivity of the garden community! If you don’t enjoy playing in the dirt, you just won’t get it. Thanks for all the joy and information you bring to an amateur like me 🙂
I’ve noticed the addition of more red hues in your containers this year too! I think adding them to the vegetable garden area is beautiful because the flowers will mirror the color of the tomatoes!
Really doesn't matter where you post it. We will watch it all. Its fun to watch and rewatch your videos after and tiring day in garden.
Hi Laura! I’m one of your new subscribers and I absolutely love both channels! Always a little sad when you say, “well that’s it for this video!”
God bless !
I love this kind of video! It's so fun to have the chance to virtually interact with you, but I get your comment on feeling like a broken record. What if you had a FAQ page or video you could link to in response to those questions? Another fun idea would maybe be having a spot to submit questions on your website too, and you go through those too, like once a month or something. That way we could maybe get a bit more variety, as people wouldn't feel restricted to questions based on the content of the video? Just a few ideas! Thanks SO much for all you do. My husband and I are going through the process of buying our first home and it is SO fun to see your videos and get inspiration for a garden I could actually have, instead of my containers that I had in our apartments! I've already told him alllll about the patio video you guys did a while back. We hope to build our own with that as a guide! Thanks again!
YES, this type of video is SO HELPFUL. Your knowledge seems endless, you present so concisely and move right along with good information. These Q&As bring up subjects many of us need to know, often not even knowing we needed to know until you told us!
I’m so excited to have found you. I’ve been watching your videos everyday at lunch time and I can’t wait to go buy some plants and garden more! Thank you so much Laura!
Did I just hear you say you’ve been looking at other properties?? After the years of hard work that you’ve put into that garden and you’ve just bought an extension to it? I couldn’t imagine you gardening in a different garden
Congrats on 850k subscribers on your main channel!!! Love seeing your success. So many people discovering your awesomeness!!
Hi Laura , I just wanted to comment on something you said in this weeks recap video that is so sweet ❤ 😊 💗 you stated how you get positive energy from this community of plant and gardening lovers, I'm hear to tell you that me being one of those get so much energy and inspiration from you and your love of plants and I thank you with all my heart. Im older now and can't do as much as I'd love to but I love watching your excitement of gardening. Thank you and God bless you and Aaron for these videos.
I love your questions answering sessions. You never know what different aspect of gardening may come up which may apply to your garden.
I appreciate that you are so generous with your time to sit down and answer questions like you do. Especially given that we all know how many projects you are anxious to do outside. We learn so many different, wonderful things about plants and planting from you. I find myself doing a search on your channel from time to time of knowing that you did a video on a specific plant and knowing your videos are such a wonderful resource for us gardeners. You’ve provided us with a huge library and I thank you!!
Format is perfect. Leave it as is. The more questions you answer the more you reach your viewers.
I love that you think of what your viewers are looking for in content. If moving this video to highlights means more planting videos, I’m here for it! I do love these videos, it’s nice to have a dialogue going with questions
I love these videos! I love that you take the time to answer questions from viewers! I know there’s so many times I hear questions asked that I was thinking while watching the videos. Thank you for all you do!
YES we love these videos! Always willing to learn! Thank you so much!!
Love love love all the videos so thank you and Aaron for doing them! I sub to both channels so don't mind where the highlights go.
I have planted a columar orange rocket barberry, so beautiful.. a deer ran through it and it was flopping over and started growing wrong, i tied it up with twine, hope it fixes it. Im in zone 5 also, wondered if you have one of these, it is such a pretty show plant. Also saw something in one vides i want to know it looked about 2 ft tall, and 3 ft wide, red blooms in a large area,with other things
I don’t care which channel, but please keep doing recaps. I often hear questions I never thought to ask and I always learn something new!
I really like your recap videos. If there is a question you have answered before I still listen carefully to see if I can learn something new. Honestly, the best thing about your videos Laura is...you! You give GREAT gardening information, ideas and advice, but in the end it is you that I enjoy "being around." You are cheerful, fun, relatable, positive, progressive, industrious, talented, ambitious (I could keep going, but I'll stop there), exactly the type of person I like to be around (hoping some of those attributes will rub off on me! ;) I also love the times we get to see Aaron, Benjamin, your Mom, other family and friends, and of course, Russell! (You couldn't train a cat to come in on cue and climb a tree or arbor or do something else entertaining in the background the way he does!). All of these good things and I also get an occasional "walk" in your garden and you sharing your gardening projects and experiences. 💟 I am just along for the ride, however you and Aaron decide to steer it. 🌼🌻🌷🌸💐🌺
Just a suggestion! Keep the gravel or do permeable pavement! Paved roads will keep water from absorbing into the ground and can cause flooding in areas that normally don’t!
Of course if is your land this is just a recommendation! Thanks for all that y’all do! Much love from Texas!
YES! Do continue this type of video! I am such a relatively new gardner that I watch everything you put out and have learned so much. Of course I now realize I have to change the location of some of my plants :) and I am so much more mindful of the zone and sun requirements of plants now, annual v perennial, which has made me so much more successful. Little does my husband know that half of our front lawn will be converted to a planting bed this year, LOL.
I love the recap! It helps me if I have missed a video, and I love the way your personality comes through!
You give me so much pleasure watching you. I have always wanted to have a gardens like you. I am disabled now and am unable to be in the heat and getting on my knees is impossible. I do alot of container planting but I have to ask my husband to drag the hose around and he is pretty good about it. We are going to start doing some renovations and my husband said he would set up a drip system when that is complete.
I’m so happy! Two videos in one day?? I would subscribe to 10 channels by you if you had them lol.
I so enjoy the recaps! For what it’s worth, I’d be none the wiser to their being a separate channel because RUclips has your videos in my feed. Love that you have so many ideas blooming ❣️
I really love these kinds of videos! I’ve only been gardening for 3 years, 2 years in earnest, and even the repeat questions are great to hear answers to again and again. It’s a lot to absorb!!!
Hello, from one of your new subscribers. I am loving your content and find it so inspiring. We have completely renovated our old house (we live in the UK) and are now finally focusing on landscaping our garden. We have a very old mature garden but it has been neglected over the years so we have lots of overgrown plants. As we carve out each new space we’re building our garden using a few new plants and rescued plants from other areas. Thank you for all you do to motivate and inspire us! 🌱🌸🌿🌷🌼
Have you also thought about resin bound gravel? It’s the best of both worlds, looks like gravel but is a totally flat surface which would mean Benjamin can ride bikes more easily. Although, it’s expensive so may not be cost effective.
Never commented before - just wanted to say these videos have been SUPER helpful for me. I've learned so much from watching these weekly recaps. I don't care which channel they are on, but I do hope you continue them.
Hi Laura & Aaron👋🏼Being a long time subscriber to both channels I don’t mind the recaps being posted here. I get alerts for both he he. And I think you answering a question from previous other videos is good because it’s refreshing to be reminded on how to do something, specially for new gardeners. You’ve actually helped up my gardening game🤗 Laura and Aaron a big thank you for everything you teach us.
!I love this kind of video. It reminds me to watch if I've missed one of the regular videos. Thanks a bunch!
Love this format! So helpful to hear the questions of others.
I like the recap videos. Of course some question are redundant, but for new viewers, it may be their first time hearing the answer to a previously asked question. I'm okay with watching you repeat the answer to the new viewers because new viewers means your channel is growing and that equates to your overall success and ability to continue doing ALL the videos for us! I also feel like these are coversational videos and you guys shine as the personable, humble folks you are! Love it!
Yes these videos are extremely helpful. Plus, I really enjoy sitting with a cup of tea and just listening to you answer questions and discuss the previous week's videos. It feels like company lately.
I love these videos and I don't care which channel you post them on. I get notified anytime you upload and it makes my day!!!
Yay! So glad you're still doing the Q & A! I love all your videos but I do super look forward to the weekly review. I learn so much good info and it's got such a relaxed vibe that it feel like having a fun coffee chat with a friend...about plants! Which is something I rarely get to do in my friend circle 😆
I do like having these question/answer videos. It brings up things that I haven't thought about necessarily and seems to always jog some learning opportunities, while listening. Thanks, Laura.
I love the recap videos! I learn so many tips and tricks, they've been super-helpful. I used to watch my mom take care of her plants, so I know some, but there's so much more I don't know and don't have anyone to ask. So thank you. My mom would have loved you!
Love the video! Also I think you would like a paved driveway. Your softscape is awesome so any hardscape you use will look fantastic! I think a paved driveway will add another dimension of color. The gravel is monotone and pavement adds a darker color so it will make your plants pop more than they do now. Your family is awesome! You are living MY best life!😁😁😁
I love the recaps on the highlight channel and yes I love all your videos. The highlight videos are very helpful to me. Thanks for all you do for us Laura, Aaron and Benjamin!!!
Everywhere I go when I buy flowers I see many more possibilities.. Your influence is everywhere....
I Love comment videos! It feels like we are sitting down for a chat with you. Thank you for all you do. 😘
Please continue the Q&A videos, we love them....and really we dont mind if are on this channel or the Garden Answer one. We watch both of them so please keep them comming!
I love the recap!! I like to hear other people's questions, cuz a lot of times I haven't even thought of them!. I personally have no preference which channel you post them on. I watch them ALL!!!! Lol
I recently found your main channel and subscribed and now added this to my list. I really like both formats, you have so much information to share and are so generous with your time and knowledge. I have been gardening for years here in western NC (zone 6b) and viewing your videos has re-inspired me. I am now rearranging old beds with the help of your ideas. Keep up the good work.
They are very helpful just like they are. Putting them in highlights is great. Your rationale makes sense. You guys do an incredible amount of videos and all of them are helpful, fun, enjoyable, educational and inspiring. Keep it up, please? Oh, and don’t move! Not yet...just have another baby and stay put. Lol. Spoken like a true grandma. 😉 God bless. 💕👏🏻💕
I enjoy these videos because I don't always think to ask some of these questions asked by other active gardeners. I'm still very new to gardening and love learning from your answers.
Your recap videos are extremely helpful. I have my app open (MS ToDo) while watching and add info that I know I will forget in 10 mins 🤪. This way I can look up what to do with my perennial salvias after they bloom. For any other gardeners out there who can’t keep it all in memory - I created a set of folders in the app for each month’s tasks and another set per plant. Yes, it takes time to enter all the info, but It is an invaluable resource‼️
I love the recap videos! I saw a complaint from someone on a recent recap, about how they're redundant and kind of pointless-- moving the recap videos to this channel seems like a totally brilliant solution!
I'm a gardening fiend, too! And I love it when I get to geek out with other gardeners. I like the recap videos and all your other ones too! Keep 'em coming!
You got your hair done! It looks great! ❤ I love your recap videos. I feel like it's a chance for me to learn even more from you and I look forward to them.
I love the recap videos as there is always more good info! I like that the video has sections based on which one you are answering. It is great to have a positive place to talk plants and gardening with others -- love the community here!
I find gardening very absorbing and therapeutic. Often I plan to be outside for just an hour and then realize that the whole afternoon has gone by and it is time for dinner!
I loved this video...extremely helpful. I learned so much. I am so grateful I found your channel. I have redone several flower beds and planted up numerous containers this year. It has helped me get through this past couple of months. I love looking out my windows and seeing so many beautiful flowers!!! Thank you Laura and Aaron!!!
Hi Laura and Aaron! It doesn’t matter where you post your videos I will find them!☺️ I do like that you added this to your highlights channel. I just want to tell you that before 2019 I never had an interest in gardening, zilch! My yard was very bare. Well, I happenstance on one of your succulent videos and you sucked me in!!! Love your energy, positivity, and style. My yard has been completely transformed and everyone has been impressed and I owe it all to you. So thank you for helping me cultivate my green thumb💕 When the time is right and you decide to make a B&B (with shuttles to Andrew seed Co. 😉) I know it will be successful for sure! Wishing you more success!!
Yes!! Love these videos! You answer a lot of our questions and give so much more additional information! I seriously don’t know how you guys put so many videos out per week! I love that you do!
I love these videos, even if they are a little repetitive. They feel like having a casual coffee with a friend and chatting about plants
Hose Guards😳🤯who knew this existed?!? I need several of these!! My poor sweet woodruff & several hostas say thank you💚
I really enjoy these recap videos because it gives a chance to have questions that we all may have answered. I learn quite a lot from them! Thank you!
Love this type of video and unboxing as well. Can’t wait to see the new property grow. Your family takes on a lot and it shows very well. Excited to see the annuals planted. I am adding a few pumpkins and watermelon in my beds just for giggles. My granddaughter loves those type of surprises. Look forward to coffee and your channel everyday. Bought some latte supertunia annuals, slow start but still working on feeding them regularly so I can get a big burst and fill the bed. The bubblegum was amazing last year, people stopped to take pictures all the time. So funny.
Please continue the recap videos! It’s a great source to gain more insight and knowledge. Thank you for taking the time to view the questions and feedback. I was missing it until I saw you moved it to highlights so you may want to make an announcement about where to find it now.
