My mother (who is a speech/language pathologist) taught me that we say, “mmmm” when feeding babies because it encourages the correct oral structure when eating off a spoon. Otherwise babies may tend to leave their mouth open. She also taught me to feed from the side of the spoon to encourage the tongue to stay in the correct place instead of coming forward. 🤗
yes SLP here...the side of the spoon encourages more lip closure...
Thanks for that tidbit. Today I learned.....
💝💝💝
So...... my mother was wrong to fly the airplane into my mouth???? She and DR Spock were all wrong -- no wonder I am so screwed up!!
@@briansplantlife Haha, we did the train going into the tunnel "choo-choooo"
The happiness on Benjamin's face when Laura said that she liked the orchid that he chose all by himself- priceless. He is a sweet sweet child. And Samantha giggling and clapping on Aaron's shoulders. Such a joy!
I wasnt sure for half a second if she was going to spit that out right on top of Aaron's hat....ha! It worked out beautifully.
What an adorable little helper!
Hi Laura and Aaron. I would like to thank you for the time, heart and effort you both put in your videos. I have been following you for 6 years now. I started watching your videos for succulent care tips and got hooked. I have learned so much from you. And now making succulent arrangements is my favorite hobby. A few friends and family have asked for tips and tricks to grow succulents. And I have guided them to your channel. I am an Indian 🇮🇳 living in Germany 🇩🇪. Growing succulents outside is quite tricky here but thanks to you, my plants have been doing really well. I specially love how you like to give back to your community. You guys are good people! 👍🏻
It's so nice to have Benjamin learning gardening.
That little Benjamin is just the cutest thing, and does/says such funny and sweet things. I look forward to seeing him and find myself grinning from ear to ear time after time.
Samantha Grace signing for “more” was SO adorable & impressive!! Question..
since your harvesting the basil while its young, will it grow back leaves or will it pretty much wither away once harvested?..& i also love HBH recipes, shes the best!
The basil will regrow and you can continue harvesting it again and again as it grows.
Happy Valentines's Day everyone ❣
I love Benjamin's little commentaries! Try a coffe filter over the spout to corral your bits!
Or a wine filter as well.
Good idea!
I love how little ones are so willing to help. Benjamin is the sweetest little guy. It's wonderful how you include him in the work. He's so proud.
💝💝💝
Aww - Samantha signed “more”. So sweet!
I could listen to the chatter between you & Benjamin all day. He's such a great kid!
You have a little gardener, what a sweet little buddy to help.
Hi Laura, loved seeing Benjamin doing his best to help you today! He is such a sweet little guy! Also you do a perfect job with the recipes! Love seeing them and it’s on our menu for tonight since I have Basil growing in my window. Please show us more about how to use our herbs we grow!!
Morning! Years ago I worked
Wyse Guide’s recipes does an excellent job…he uses homegrown veggies, herbs and garlic in almost every none dessert recipe.
I want to wish the cutest and sweetest couple on RUclips a very happy Valentine’s Day
Half Baked Harvest - Teighan’s little brother Red Gerard is currently competing in the Winter Olympics and they’ve mentioned her blog over and over! Such a sweet family. Recipe looks so good! Will give it a try!
That's awesome! I bet her views have exploded!
He’s a gold medal winning Olympian. He got gold in 2018. He placed 4th in these Olympics but reading more about him and the family shows how much parental and sibling support helps kids succeed.
Good morning everyone Happy Valentine Garden Day☕🌅 💐🌼🌷🦋🥰🌱🌱🌻🌺🌺💞💝💝💐💐
Fungus gnats are my main insect problem, both on house plants and outdoor plants in pots, so I’m happy to learn about these mosquito bits.
BEST JUNIOR GARDENER EVER!! I hope you all have a wonderful valentine’s day. Thank you so much for the fungus gnat info, my seedlings seem to be inundated with them.
You are so patient with your son, he will grow up loving to garden.
Love to see Samantha learning sign language.
So cute seeing her sign “more” 🥰🥰🥰
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone 😁
Have I missed something? Why is she learning how to sign?
@@JenaTuckerAquariums Haven`t missed anything.. it`s just nice to teach toddlers some simple sign language
before they are able to speak so they can communicate their needs and not become fustrated 😁
I actually work with handicapped children that use sign and it's nice to see all children learn a second
language, thanks for asking 😉
I have a 4 yr old boy. I love to see you work with your boy and the struggles a toddlers help might bring:)
I was thinking today: I can't tell you how happy I am for you that you are taking time for yourselves on the weekends and having time together with your family!
He is such a sweet boy! And he is a hard worker!
Benjamin is a little perfect helper. Can't believe hes getting so big so big. Good job Benjamin
I think 🤔 it’s pretty obvious we will watch anything Garden Answer shows 😎👍
Every morning, I always look forward to you playing in the dirt and seeing "whacha doin". That meal looked absolutely delicious!. Thank you for all you do. Enjoy your day. You always make mine perfect!
Are you teaching the kids sign language?
Greetings, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
Thanks for the gnat advice. I am seeing a few and now is the time to address the problem 👩🌾👍
43° this morning and going up to a sunny 🌞 70°'s F
Happy Gardening Everyone 🌿💚🌿
He is so so precious!
Randomness is good :) Two sweet moments: Benjamin planting seed and Samantha Grace tasting the food and hearing the "Mmmm...". Sweet video. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, FAMILY FAR & WIDE!
Benjamin is so adorable. His double take on the smell of the hyacinth, “Oh this purple one is goood”. 😊 I love watching you and your family. You bring back so many memories of my childhood prepping, planting and working the garden with my papa. I never realized when I was that young I was learning things that would last a lifetime. Now I am so blessed to get my grandson to help me plant our small garden every year. He gets so excited to gather the fruits of our labor. Especially his favorites, cucumbers and watermelons. Thank you for sharing your family with us. You all make make my heart smile 😊
Seeing Samantha Grace and Benjamin is the best part of the video.
Happy Valentine’s Day!! 💖💖
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Thank you for sharing your love of family, pets, food, fun and of course, Gardening with us!
We all love you and your family for all you do to make our gardening journey a better one!
God's best to you and Aaron, Benjamin and Samantha, Your families and the GA family, too! Y'all are the best!!!
Hello Marian, how are you doing?
Mosquito bits saved my house plants. And my sanity. I’ve made the ‘tea’ but I also mix them directly into the soil when transplanting or aerating. I’ve sprinkled them on top but I feel it is better served down in the soil.
I mix them in my soil as well and it really works! The scoop that comes with is so handy for that!
I love that you weren't afraid to add in fish sauce!
I just came across an article that said “corn is best planted in blocks--not long single rows--for pollination.” Passing it along😎
I just love how you are so patient with Benjamin. I know as a parent it’s easier to do yourself. He’s so proud of his planting and watering. This warms my heart so much.
Oh Happy Valentine’s Day to all our little sweethearts in Oregon 💕. It was so cute when Benjamin stopped a bit and said I need a smaller watering can 🥰. He sure gave it his all at trying to make a straight row, I love how patient you are and encourage him to continue on. He’s a very good garden student. When Samantha signed more you knew it was a hit 🥰. Have a wonderful day Laura and Aaron you are a blessing to all of us.
A small fungus gnat problem always becomes a bug problem without action. We will try the mosquito bits next time we have that issue!
they're great! work every time i manage to bring home gnats. Just be aware some pets will chomp on them (not toxic to them, but better to be safe).
I use need oil in my watering for gnats and sticky traps. So far it works great
@@savedsole3848 Neem oil, just for someone else’s benefit.
Love variety days, food looks good, Benjamin is such a cute helper and Samantha is just plain adorable.
Benjamin has the sweetest little smile.. He sure loves his momma.. Nice job Aaron(I think that’s how you spell your name I’m horrible) perfect and little Samantha is sooo precious.. love the sign language.. She’s sooo smart.. goodness.. be blessed amazing family…
Love the Benjamin segments! He is so precious, smart and helpful! Also, Samantha Grace’s signing for “more” was ADORABLE!! Great job, momma 💗
Good morning! Yeah so yesterday I went crazy putting sticky traps in almost every plant in my house. I’ve been using BT for so long but never thought to take care of the adult stage. I’m so tired of fungus gnats. I’m really hoping this helps, wish me luck! 😭🤣
Good luck I am going through the same thing so annoying 😩
My battle started last fall. I used BTI. I also used bright yellow paper plates with a light layer of Vaseline spread all over it. Worked well but if just one gnat survived it could produce 300 to 400 more gnats. I recently removed some cuttings I had over wintered under lights and I think I am now gnat free for my spring seedlings!! I didn't pour boiling water over my soil mixture once...NEVER AGAIN! Good luck.
If at all possible, water from the bottom.
@@bettenotap4791 Yep, I only use bottom watering + a strong clip on fan per shelf and and don’t have a gnat problem. The issue is growing the fungus in the first place. I still occasionally have an early issue sowing on top of soil. But for that it’s all about vermiculite - and a strong and steady fan. I’d be so frustrated without my fans!
BT breaks the cycle. That's why you have to continue using it for 3-4 weeks.
Putting a layer of sand as the top layer is helpful, too. It dries out faster so, the gnats don't lay their eggs there.
. . . And of course, using the yellow sticky traps (whether homemade with Vaseline or store bought) is helpful in getting rid of adult gnats so, they can't lay eggs in your soil
A multi-pronged attack is probably best.
I just love his expressions and excitement! “They aren’t grown up yet!” He’s so adorable! My Granddaughter gets excited like that! What great memories!
Very useful and it's so nice to see everyone today. Even Cheddar graced us with his presence! The pantyhose would work well as a "teabag".
Oh my goodness. Benjamin's enthusiasm for the trees and plants makes my heart happy. Such a fun age.
You’re making me realize how far behind I am in my seed starting. Time to get moving! Thank you for sharing Benjamin with us! It really makes my day to see his sweet face helping you in the greenhouse.
I'm with you, Shannon!
She started her seeds and Ranuculus early because she wanted to try growing them in a heated greenhouse so you’re not behind. Of course it does depend on where you live and when your last frost date is.
Depending on where you live , what your situation is, and the seeds you are starting, you may not be late at all.
It's only February! You're not behind
I would love to see your channel evolve to a life style channel. You could still have gardening as a focus, but also regularly incorporate cooking, antiquing, family, etc
'Mmmmmm'...😂 Samantha is such a doll. So pretty! 😍And Benjamin...what a cutie. Love how he talks about everything growing up. ❤ The for sharing. Dinner looks delicious.
Laura and Aaron, Benjamin is such a testament to firm, loving parenting. Great job, guys!💗💗💗
Einfach nur wundervoll .🍀Ich liebe Deine Arbeiten...Lieben Gruß Anja 🌻
As an ASL interpreter I love seeing babies using sign language. You guys are great parents. Precious kiddos
Fun VALENTINES DAY!
TYVM!🌽🥕
I currently live with my parents, my mom is very ocd about a tidy and clean home but her love of spider plants has resulted in fungus knats everywhere this winter. All her plants had babies last year (and the babies had babies etc) and they spent a summer outside which she’s never done. All of these smaller plants were brought inside in the fall and these little soil smelling flies are everywhere. When you kill one it’s smells just like dirt. I’m constantly swatting them out of my nose! So many spider plants, so many Knats! 😆
You are the best Mom! You make me happy just watching you! Can we please see a little more about the hens?
Almost always start my day with Garden Answer and a hot cup of black coffee. However today I decided to work on seed starting and a fungus gnat situation I have going on with my seedlings and houseplants. I, too used Mosquito Bits, added a small handful of them to a two quart flowering can, letting them percolate for approximately 5 minutes before watering. Today would have been a good day to watch your video first thing, could have read the package directions, but that's never fun. It is what it is now. Thank you and your family for making this world a better kinder place. Happy Gardening.
Laura, you NEED to watch the tv show "Homework" on the Magnolia network. The couple renovates homes but they bought an old school house for their big family and just showed the kitchen renovation, OH MY, it reminds me of you and the dark colors you like and the old items they use in it. I know you said you have plans to do some home renovations. Check it out, if you can. Benjamin is just the sweetest boy and Samatha Grace looked absolutely beautiful on dads shoulders. Look forward to seeing all of your plantings come to show this spring. Thank you.
Samantha looks so much like her daddy! Sweet baby girl!
"ooo that purple one smells gooood" Benjamin is such a treasure haha.
Samantha Grace and her 'little smokie toes'. (I say that about all baby toes...so sweet!) Will be implementing the fungus gnat treatment.
I’ve been using Bits for fungus gnats for quite a while, but still enjoyed seeing your application and tips. I use a small strainer to skim the Bits off at the end and mix up in a 5gal bucket (not full!) and use a cup to fill my watering can. Thanks for another great video!
That's exactly what I do. I like the idea of using a sock.
Could you reuse the skimmed off bits or is it depleted after 1 soak?
Is it safe for putting on edibles, like fruit, veggie and herb plants?
I loved seeing your sweet family involved in your every day life! I enjoy all your enthusiasm for your living life to the fullest! Thank You so much 🥰
She has a heated greenhouse remember, so chances are you are probably not late! I start the bulk of mine (except for my greenhouse flower farm crops) in March/April (Zone 6). She is experimenting, and will find out that the short days will affect the growth quite a bit even with the warmer temps in the greenhouse. If she starts those same seeds 4-6 weeks later, she will likely be harvesting from both successions at the same time.
Ha i was thinking...im late...thanks : )
I don't think she's even going for a harvest. She said she just wants a vertical, green back drop for filming.
Sooo....a few months ago I started noticing those blasted fungus gnats in the house (I actually blame you because I have started "collecting" houseplants! 😅😅😅) And these gnats have been driving me crazy. Then one day on the highlights channel you just mentioned in passing that you use those yellow sticky traps. So I ordered them on Amazon and they are amazing... But I still have gnats, even though there are gnats on the traps. So last weekend we went to our local nursery and I struck up a conversation with one of the garden experts and told her about my gnat problem. Guess what she recommended? Oh Yes she did! I went home with a bag of Mosquito Bits!!! So imagine my surprise and satisfaction when I watched today's video!!! I'm so proud I bought the right stuff!!!
Thanks so much for all the wonderful videos. I love every single one!!!
Good morning! I have a question about the beautiful yellow tulip bouquet you have on the kitchen island. How do you keep them from flopping in the vase? Whenever I buy cut tulips they droop within the first day in their vase. Is there a secret to keeping them upright and pretty? Thanks for another fun video!! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!! 💗
Sorry, years ago I worked at a florist and we always took a sharp sewing pin and poked it straight through the stem right underneath the head of the tulip and pulled it back out. This creates a tiny air bubble within the stem, right under the flower head, and stops it from drooping so quickly. Not sure exactly why it works but it seems to. Have a great day!
I would love it if you guys started a channel where you post your cooking and other projects because it is always fun to watch you cook and do other stuff as well and I would love more of that content as well! 😊💛
Hey everybody! I highly encourage you to try the Black Pepper Jalapëno Basil Chicken Stif Fry recipe. I made it last night and will definitely make it again. Thank you, Laura for sharing the recipe.
My heart melted seeing Samantha Grace sign “more” - so very sweet! It brought back memories of my kiddos at that age. ❤️❤️ So looking forward to following along as everything picks up going into Spring. Thank you so much for bringing a bit of brightness to my Monday morning.
That looked tasty I’m going to try that. I think Samantha sold me on it! She looks like daddy🥰
I love that you are teaching her to sign "more". ☺
this is why i watch you. and i watch the ads and watch all the way to the end. I want to support you because i love watching you get to spend special time with your big boy. Thank you for sharing him. oh- and i love gardening. :)
I’m so happy to see you get an orchid. My 🤩 favorite. Remember to soak in water up to top for three days, once a month. Mine bloom for 2 to 3 months then not for up to 3 months.bright light and continue to water. Only turn or move when in bloom.
I loved seeing Samantha use sign language for more! My daughter in law has been teaching our 2 year old twin grandchildren sign language and they know “more and all done”. we are all hearing in our family but what a great way to teach a second language! Loved the video as I always do. Keep up the outstanding jobs you and Aaron have taken on! I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have Garden Answer to watch with my morning coffee!
Hi 👋 Dianna how are you doing?
Happy valentine 💖
I had a bad bought with fungus gnats and lost some plants that were from my grandsons funeral! So glad for info. Love love love seeing those babies and Samantha Grace signing is wonderful!
Just had to say that I’m so sorry about your grandson and that you lost those very special plants, Sheila. 😔
I love listening to Benjamin as he helps! What a great learning experience for him & soon for Samantha Grace! That dish looks delicious!!!! Love seeing Samantha Grace use sign language, I use simple sign language with my special needs daughter!! Hope that solution takes care of those pesky Fungus Gnats! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all! ❤🙂🌶🍲🧅🌽🌿
Oh how fun! Thank you for taking us along in you day. Your kids so sweet, when Samantha Grace tasted the food did anyone else click their teeth to encourage her to chew? Felt a bit crazy but it’s so automatic. Lol thanks for the fun planting and cooking.
I would always find myself opening my mouth like I'm the one eating when I fed my babies. 🤣
I like the half baked harvest recipes as well! I also love recipes by "Once Upon A Chef!" The recipes are so good, and easy to follow. Jenn Segal (the author) has a blog and has two cookbooks. I recently went back through my favorite recipes and most of them were from Once Upon a Chef. She has so many tips and ideas for the family cook! And for Laura, Jenn Segal loves loves loves spice- so some of her recipes may just be the "Cat's Meow" for you!
Way to go Benjamin ❤🌸 that is such a beautiful orchid 😍👍🏼 he has taste and class 🥰
Benjamin is going to run the garden center someday! Could you put a strainer or coffee filter on the top of the little watering can to remove the mosquito bits easier/faster? Samantha Grace, goodness!!! ❤
So sweet “more” & Benjamin helping 👩🏻🌾❤️
Great video! I've had success with the Bits also. I use a milk jug that I put tiny holes in the screw lid (too small for the bits to come through) so don't have to transfer to a watering can. Plus this way I can fill the jug twise using the same Bits, which is still affective. Works well for me.
It's ok for the bits to be on the soil
No need to strain them
@@conniesanrn2730 I tried that and found in some cases where a plant needs a moister soil, the bits will start to rot and stink after awhile. Have you had that problem at all?
@@marieandruby I havent used them a lot so I've not noticed that. The instructions say to place them on the soil and water normally. I couldnt find any directions that say to do it the way laura did. 🤔
Samantha Grace is so lovely so nice to see her growing and walking. We here in Cape Town are hitting the 40deg which is very hot for us here on the coast. Although my 3 adult children and will be a grandma again in July will be repeating the mmmm every time I give my little one something to eat
.
Oh, I was so nervous when you let Benjamin help. You are so good at that. He did brilliantly.
Loved how Benjamin closed his eyes to smell the flowers. Such a good little fella.
Your stir fry looks yummy. Benjamin is a great helper in the garden❤️
Are you teaching Samantha Grace simple sign language? What a great idea! Did you teach Benjamin too? Dinner looked delicious.
My experience with the mosquito bits has been outstanding. I always would have fungus gnats when I would bring my outdoor plants in. Of course, I use the mosquito bits before I read the directions, anyway I sprinkle them on top of the soil and then water the plant. It seemed to have done the same thing successfully. I hope yours works equally as well because you followed the directions!
I think Benjamin knows more about gardening than I do. He is such a sweet little boy xx
OMG.... I loved the use of "more" in sign language!! My husband is deaf and we sure found when the kids where young (like your daughter) communication was faster and easier to understand them when we used sign language.
What a fun video. Loved Benjamin's little happy dance when you expressed how happy you were at his orchid choice. And how precious of Samantha Grace's use of sign language for "more" of the yummy rice. You are truly blessed, and I fell blessed as well when you share it with us.
If they're houseplants you can keep a mosquito dunk in the watering can continuously and it will keep it from happening. II do sometimes keep a small amount of water in the can between waterings.
Oh my gosh!!! I can't take all of the cuteness of Benjamin and Samantha! He is the sweetest little boy and Samantha's face when you gave her a bite!! They make my heart melt! Dinner looked great thank you for sharing!!
My first post to you ever. Thanks for the demonstration and information about the mosquito bits. We bought it and had great success! This is my first year for plants inside and I had no idea how to deal with the gnats. Your video was so much help.
Love seeing the kids grow up and enjoy family time.
You should get yourself a couple of Octopus carnivorous plants (Drosera Carpentis) to put in your studio. It would do great under the grow lights just make sure you keep its saucer full of RO water at all times. They are super easy to take care of and I think Benjamin would get a kick out of them.
Samantha Grace signing “more”…soooo cute
Benjamin is so precious! I love his enthusiasm.
Benjamin is a blast to see enjoy the gardening experience. And Samantha Grace, it was precious to see her tasting a new taste and wanting more! Thank you for sharing that with us. I also have started to see fungus gnats. I am going to try your Mosquito bit method, but instead of nylons, my local Sherwin-Williams paint store sells 1 gallon paint strainer bags. These can be reused to soak the bits.
Made the stir fry and it was absolutely delicious, even did the coconut milk and lemon grass rice. I doubled the amount of sauce to coat the rice better. I will be keeping this recipe in my go to file. It was so delicious thank you for sharing.
