    Oh, you guys! I watch you on my TV, every day you upload. So, I’ve never commented (because you can’t on a TV lol). But I had to break out my phone and let you know what a BLESSING your channel is to me. Today, hearing Samantha giggle, seeing her and Benjamin picnicking…oh my, how delightful. What a great idea growing that grass patch was! Thank you for your channel. I just enjoy you and your family, and of course your gardening, so very much! Your mom is an absolute delight, too, and I just love seeing her, as well as Monica and the garden center. I have learned SO much! I struggled with fungus gnats on my hippeastrum seedlings and never knew about the sand solution! Keep up the great work! I’m a viewer for life! ❤️

    Oh Laura! That innocent little giggle brought tears to my eyes. It has been a long time since I heard that sound and I have missed it so much. I am going to save this video and when I need to hear a child’s giggle to lift my spirits I am going to replay this. I don’t think you realize what a beautiful gift you have given your viewers on this day. ❤❤ thank you so so much! May the Lord bless you and your family for all of your days.

    For top dress/ fungus gnats, Petco/Petsmart has nice black sand that a lot of us in the aquarium planting world like - looks better than dirt in a container too! ☺️

Benjamin making Samantha belly laugh is just like my grandchildren who are almost 5 and 1 1/2 . You are such a sweet family and so knowledgeable for us backyard gardeners, thank you for making me smile in this crazy world.

    There’s nothing like a child’s laughter to brighten the day. The sights and smells in the Hartley when those hyacinths bloom! It’s going to be glorious. That plant stand is perfect for that spot and obviously Mom thought so as well. I’ll bet she and Monica had fun planning that surprise. Ending with Russell “making biscuits”. This video was such a warm and fuzzy start to the day. Thank you for sharing it.

    This video was authentically Laura.
    I have become very fond of her and her family.
    ( Well, as fond as one can get watching a RUclips channel)
    Watching the family interact with one another is so heartwarming to see. My favorite part was Samantha's giggles with the bubbles. Hearing a child's laughter can make a sad person turn their day around. It worked for me.
    Peace be with all who reads this.

    Oh how beautiful Laura; the plant stand, brother & sister having fun on the grass, cheeky giggles…and of course Russel’s appearance. Also so lovely to see the blue skies & sunshine, as we’ve had persistent rain here in the UK the last few weeks. You’ve brightened up a very grey day here! X

    What a way to start my day. A beautiful, nice surprise from your mom for the Hartley and then precious giggles and laughter from Samantha and Benjamin. This lady had big smiles on her face, and a few tears escaped from her eyes. God blessed you and Aaron with a beautiful family. Monica and mom are pretty darn special also. That's it. I want to be adopted by your family. What an honor it would be to surround myself with all the love your family shows to the people they love.

To cover the area under the sink, have you thought about a decorative dog gate? The next time you are in Home Goods, TJ Maxx or Marshalls. They usually have some beautiful wooden ones that look more like decorative screens than dog gates. Just a thought.

    Quick note: if you put up a shirred skirt on a tension rod, I would recommend looking at indoor/outdoor fabric and making sure there are two panels that meet in the middle and not one continuous panel. Two panels under the sink will more easily accommodate pulling out hoses and accessing the space. (Sent from a fan who DIDN’T have two panels on her skirted sink…!)

    Moms, they are the best! The Hartley is getting full! So beautiful. Russel must have been a very good boy to get to spend time in the Hartley! He is such a sweet kittie. There is a J.M. Barrie quote I love. "When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.” There must be a million fairies in the greenhouse now!
