I loved that long comment, its all true. I used to garden with my husband but stopped when he died for 10 years until, four years ago, l I saw one of your videos and was totally re-inspired. Now I have a lovely garden, I grow seedlings to give away and I make fairy houses. Thank you Laura
I’m the same as you. My husband passed 9 years ago and I kind of lost my enthusiasm. I would do the basics, fill some pots, trim the bushes and hedge, but until I found Laura and Garden Answer, my heart wasn’t into it. This summer with all that has gone on, I’ve finally found the enjoyment again.
I’m so glad you got back to your garden, Olivia. There is nothing better than getting your hands in the soil, and having the warm sun on your face is there. They have definitely inspired me💖
I completely agree with the lady that expressed her appreciation concerning the intros, asking to subscribe and ring the bell for notifications. I’m a fan of yours and have been for a long time. I look forward every morning to seeing what you’re doing that day. Never a disappointment !
Sherry Hudson yes I agree I can’t wait to see what’s going on for the day. I think people will like and subscribe without promoting just because they love the content. Love this chanel. I’ve learned so much.
That would be great! I remember when we could actually share our garden pictures on FB but that option was taken away. 🤷 I enjoyed seeing pictures of everyone's garden progress. 🌷🌸🌺🥀🌹💐
I totally 100% agree with the comment about no intro to your channel and not asking for likes and subscribes! Your channel is PERFECT! Keep doing what you’re doing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Of all the channels I watch regularly, yours is the most professionally presented. you don't need to add all the bells and whistles as your subscribership demonstrates. The editing, camera work, and music all flow like a show on major TV channels. Your content , skill level as a gardener and years of experience set you at the top of your profession. I often think you don't realize just how talented you are which is your charm :)
i went looking for more Gardening channels a while back and came across a young woman who dresses provocatively and acts very suggestive while gardening. I was shocked and saddened that she thought it took that, to get subscribers. I couldn't even watch very long, even though she knew quite a lot about gardening, it was just so uncomfortable, watching it. Thank you, Thank you for being such a good, clean, decent channel and Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Love the way you and Aaron communicate, it's obvious when you're talking to him and not just the camera. Wish love and happiness forever, rare these days. Wish I had found that.
Ahhhh Ladies...there are very good men out there...Please don't give up. I met my wonderful hubby at church, been married to my best friend for almost 40 years and yes, he treats me amazing. He is a fantastic lover too....Makes my toes curl and my eyes roll back in my head..haha....
Same here! Her son is so gentle with her and loving. I've noticed my son just like that when my sisters were pregnant with their daughters but when they had they're sons, he was so mean to them! LOL!! It's an old wives tale from my friends and family. A toddler is the best indication of what a pregnant mother is going to have. The opposite sex love each other very much. The same sex are more jealous and rough with each other lol! Hope that makes sense.... so anyways... my vote is GIRL too 😊😊😊😊
Every pregnancy IS different! My first one (36 years ago!!!) was a breeze. I had a beautiful baby boy. The second one was not so easy or fun but it resulted in having the baby girl that I had secretly, desperately wanted! I now have two incredibly smart, caring, loving, ADULT children that I am so proud of. You and Aaron are terrific parents. So, no matter what this baby is, it will be as lucky as Benjamin to have won the PARENT LOTTERY! I love your channel and ALL of your family. I found Garden Answer late last year and you inspired me to grow my FIRST GARDEN EVER this past spring! It turned out great. I am now putting in some seeds and plants that will be for a late season crop since I have a long growing season here. Thank you for being so genuine in everything you do.
I agree with that long comment about the intro of your videos. No one wants them! And yes, you are amazing at your job and such a joy to watch . You and Aaron are "my friends in my head".
Are there any tips for those who don’t have grow lights or a greenhouse? I’d like to start some seeds and live in a warmer climate but don’t have the space for a growing room.
Virginia Cox I’m in zone 9b, I believe. It’s very warm here. Winter, we might have a day or two that are freezing. I need to look more into the lighting requirements.
It's so interesting that Aaron put that long comment in this video because I was just thinking many of the commentor's words. I love how you guys function as a unit and we all feel a part of your family. I also agree with the commentor who said they immediately hit like before the video gets going. Because I know I will enjoy whatever you have decided to share with us. Thank you Laura, Aaron, Benjamin and new Baby. ❤️
I agree with one of your followers. You are so natural and real. I recently lost my wonderful mother to cancer. My mom loved having her garden full of colors as well as inside plants. I was never into that, till now I came across your videos on one of my hard days of missing my mom. Planning has become my Physical and mental recovery. 💯on your Chanel.
The pool... it's always interesting seeing pools with no safety in America. Here in Australia it's illegal to have a pool without a secure pool fence. The fence has to meet several requirements and must be maintained. Far too many children would die by reaching for something in the water, going in the water & not understanding what can happen. We even have a thing called 'Kids Alive Do The 5' - fence the pool, shut the gate, teach your kids to swim it's great, supervise - watch your mate, and learn how to resuscitate. So important. 😊 🌊
However, even if there is a gate around a pool and a kids ball goes over the fence....let there be no mistaking that many kids will find a way to get get over the fence.... we must remember that all the education in the world does not stop accidents from happening, it is the unfortunate part of life and the learning process, at all ages. This is reality so please do not turn this into an argument. Laura and her family have said they don't bubblewrap but rather have chosen to take the time to walk in Benjamin's foot steps :) and I love that!
DepressednWondering's comment is spot on, many of us feel the exact same way, dang I wish I could come up with those comments! 😂, but we do feel it Laura, most of us do. You are the perfect example of the channel that you go to to escape from the real world from time to time, and when the video is done you feel refreshed and more often than not I find myself with a smile on my face that I had not noticed before or going back to a funny part over and over again. May life give you, your family and those around you the best things this life has to offer, you deserve it, thanks for being such a source of positivity and good vibes that this world needs. 😘
Thank you for respecting plant breeders’ work and patents. Fruit tree varieties can be 20-30 years from cross to release because they do years of testing and evaluation.
I always felt like I couldn’t win any of your giveaways because I only watch y’all on utube I don’t use Facebook I tried it for a while and I just need to stay focused on my family and not all the other people that seems to suck you in to negativity thank y’all for being such positive people love watching y’all
I feel happier just doing You Tube. Gave up FB. Never did Instagram, Twitter or FB. I too feel happier. I have more free time to learn about projects and topics I am interested in. ☺️
"Hey Guys, How's it Going!" Then good stuff (with a friendly smile) in the middle... "See You Next Time!" - at the end. I am so used to hearing you say those things Laura, and I like it! It feels friendly, and genuine. I would truly miss this daily interaction if you were to ever go. Thank You for being my You Tube friend! ♡♡♡
So true, I catch myself telling my husband, “Laura did it this way or Aaron demonstrated it this way”. Haha. It is like GA is part of my family and friends. We do invite them over everyday or vice versa, lol. Love it!
I totally agree, you don't need to ask for subscribers. People will like and share and subscribe when they really want to. I tell everyone about your channel including random strangers at the Garden Center and I can't imagine someone finding your channel and not subscribing! 🙂
I have found myself also talking to beginners at the local garden center. I share information about Garden Answer to the staff and they now carry Espoma products and we do need to tell them what plants we want a couple seasons before they order because getting them shipped to your home is different than having them shipped to a garden center. You do learn by trial and error and watching GA how to bump things up, plant from seed, use inside grow lights and a plethora of well documented info following GA channel. Best subscription in my repertoire 😊😎
Laura - Your family is part of my daily routine. As a new home owner, a young person that moved just before quarantine, and someone trying to find my passions in life, thank you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge as well as your joyful, uplifting persona. You’re a wonderful role model. You radiate patience, grace and forgiveness.
100% agree with the long comment. Love the no intros and the need to tell everyone to subscribe. The majority of people are not new to RUclips we know how to subscribe to things if we want to they don't need to be told every video by every RUclipsr. Keep up the great work
Johnny's has stuff to make an end closure called a scissor end, they also have a pdf. It opens much wider than the dutch door and can be used for both ends.
I go to RUclips every morning to check out if there is a new video to have my coffee with but if there isn't a new video I will drink my coffee with a rerun and still enjoy it. Thanks from Australia.💜
I feel you 100 % on the pregnancy and eating! I could never let my stomach get empty or I would be 10 times as sick. I had to eat every 2 years and its was awful. Glad you are doing better. I had a girl btw💗
I am so sorry that the random bad guys of social media struck your site, you did a fantastic job of addressing the situation and caught it really early, you are very good Shepard’s of your interests!!
I love your empathy and expressions here.. I’m currently sitting here in my house and fires are surrounded us. I live in Northern California! This has been quite a year. If I’m needing a pick me up and I always watch RUclips garden videos, just subscribed to your Chanel as an extension to my garden family.. IG as well, thank you for all you fun and informative videos. 🌿🌸🙋🏻♀️🐝
I so agree 100% w/ depressednwondering. I didn't go to school for it but I did start working in a garden center this year and previously watched you, but this year has been most of the time as I learn so very much from you and learn about great products & techniques. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your lives, your family is amazing and its nice to watch it grow. Love you all as though I know you, you guys are great & real, that's what makes your channel so enjoyable!!! I too always press like 1st, guess in not alone, hahaha
Aaron, I know your the mastermind behind the video's, regarding the video on collecting cut flowers & making the wreath, LOVE that video, watching the slow motion of Laura collecting the flowers is so relaxing and just charming, something about it is just peaceful & encouraging to enjoy the beauty of your work in the garden, and options to do things w/ the flowers. Keep up the great work, so enjoy watching you guys.
I agree with that long comment! I just love how natural your channel is and you just get into it and you show the good the bad and the ugly it’s just one of the reasons why I wanted to guarded as much as I’m guarding now, and why I put flower pots together and I hadn’t before. Thank you so much for just being you, you and Aaron and Benjamin!
I started gardening when I discover your channel too. And everyone in my neighborhood asks me how I know so much about gardening and how I keep all my petunias and annuals looking so good and like garden answers in RUclips 🙂
I love your videos for the reasons that one women stated too. I like composting because I like to keep soil clean and safe to use in my yard. I'm always concerned about getting poisoned soil because you never know.
Please keep your videos as they are. The happiness you bring your viewers every morning is due to the fact these videos are you. Thank you for all you do for us. Blessings to you and yours.
It's great to hear your reaction to that long comment. It's so wonderful to see you enjoy your career (as unexpected as it may have been). When your job is your passion, it's a true blessing!
If I had a dime for ever customer who calls in asking for a new PIN or the CVV code on the back of their card (because they have the card number saved but misplaced the card), I'd be able to make a car payment. But, they don't want to give out their mother's maiden name to secure the account because that's too much information. 😒 In this situation, the best way of providing information would be to go to the website of the actual merchant, call Customer Service, and be assured that you're talking to the folks who send you a statement.
That was my point, call the number on your card and keep accurate records of what goes in and what goes out. Don't give information to someone who calls out of the blue.
I totally agree 100% with everything that Depressedenwondering said about you. I started gardening this year when I found your channel during the pandemic quarantine and I am so happy I did because you've helped me get through some really tough times. Thank you for being so inspiring, honest, funny, sweet and for sharing your knowledge. Many blessings to you and your beautiful family. :)
Sandye Montes Awe, as a subscriber, that is such a sweet comment to make. A lot of them are. We do love Laura, Aaron, Benjamin, Mom, Dad, Joe and Sister who lives out of town. We would have a happier world if all families were as grounded as these folks are. I loved her Mom trips to forage in the woods, planting containers in town, cutting lavender to create lavender wreaths. I love she and Aaron doing things for her MIL, her Mom and Dad, neighbors and friends. Gosh, if we all approached each other with so much respect and care, AHH, what an inspiration they are! God Bless GA and all The channel Family❤️❤️❤️
Love the beginner cut flower idea. So sad to hear about Dexter you cat, and thank you for answering the kitty question. It truly feels like we are all part of your life in gardening that seeing the cats, your family and friends, is an added treat and brings a smile to my face every single time. By the way, I have this feeling you are going to have a girl! I felt it since the moment you announced it.
I do admit that my Southern Magnolia is messy. I rake all the time but when I sit in my ratty old chair to take a break from weeding, one little breeze and it's heaven! I wish someone would bottle the fragrance. The bees get inside the enormous blooms and actually kick out the little bits on the inside and shower you with that fragrance. It's so worth the mess! It seems like anything beautiful in the garden comes with a price!! Can't wait to see what's in store for that new piece of ground! Best wishes and hugs 🤗
I have one too! A true Southern Magnolia! And yes, being down wind of that flower fragrance is GLORIOUS!!! We like ours so much we named it. It's the Bob Tree ! And it has a story. My Daddy Bob noticed it growing from seed, in a place not known for Magnolias. He dubbed it a fighter, then proceeded to guard it to make sure nothing would happen to it. That was 25 years ago. My Daddy Bob has since passed away, but The Bob Tree is still going strong!! And he did see the tree become a strong teenager tho! Now all of his kids have Bob Tree babies in their yards to keep The Bob Tree lineage alive! It's now a weird family tradition, but also a lot of fun at the same time. And we all remember our Daddy Bob whenever we're around it. Funny how plants become so intertwined with our lives, isn't it! ♡
That long comment is why I always come back to your channel. And why I keep gardening. You make it fun. I learned a lot from you and your family. Thank from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
I like that you're a natural friendly gal. The reason I return is because there's not all that comercialism and self promotion.. Watching your videos and your FB page is like sitting down with the gal next door. You remind me of the gal I grew up with. Still a long and trusted friend because she's naturaly a great gal and has integrity. Stay just he way you are. Your Mom is a natural too. :-)
When I used straw I put newspaper down first that turns into compost underneath and keeps the weeds down. Knowing you, I am sure you know that. You inspire me everyday!
I agree with the long comment wholeheartedly. I skip videos with intros or loud music. I have transformed my small UK garden, window boxes and baskets. I have only been following you since lockdown. I have noe however, gone back over four years haha you and Aaron feel like part of my family. Also I loved Benjamin videoing you picking the sunflowers xx
Laura, that comment about you and your channel is so TRUE!! That was such a nice compliment!! I love your channel!! I enjoy when Benjamin comes in on the videos, I enjoy seeing Aaron and you doing projects together and the cats and the chickens!! Now we wait in the baby!! God bless you all!!🌿
I second the comment on intros/outros and like/share/subscribe reminders. Bless you for having neither. You don't need them. Just keep doing you. Btw, I had difficult pregnancies, too. When my daughter was born at 38 weeks, I was 15 pounds lighter than when I became pregnant. I couldn't keep anything down but was starving all the time up until three days after she was born. You look healthy and happy and I'm glad to hear you're over the roughest part. Still praying for you. ~ Lisa
So I can relate with the sickness! I was having morning sickness for WAY too long with my second pregnancy, and when I told my Dr., He said that could be a sign of low Iron. He put me on an extra Iron supplement and sure enough, I felt better! I love y'all and look forward to seeing your videos! So inspiring!💕
I loved the comment by the subscriber who talked about how genuine you are in your videos. And I too like how you never ask us to like or share. You are a delight to watch and listen too and I have learned so much from your videos.
I have always appreciated you not advertising yourself by asking people to like and subscribe. I think it’s a great choice. I enjoy watching your channels!
I have a pile for soil, steps, soft clippings etc that I leave in an area I don't use for the bugs and bees to over winter in. Then I have two twig and branch piles for the birds to over winter in as well. It REALLY helps out wildlife! Compost helps the environment and wildlife too in so many ways!
I have enjoyed gardening since I was a child, but never as much as now being a faithful viewer of Garden Answer. I think it is sweet that you are uncomfortable asking people to like and subscribe to your channel. I spend so much time in garden centers that people often think I work there and approach me with questions LOL. I take each and every opportunity to recommend your channel to everyone I speak to. No worries Laura, your channel will continue to grow by word of mouth :)
This is so sad. Because you have done such a good job of making gardening interesting and informing and now some people with evil intentions have taken advantage. Thank you for all you do to help us gardeners.
So glad you're feeling a little better, I understand so well what you mean by needing to keep something in your stomach or else the sickness creeps up! I was sick with my daughter until I was about 19 weeks 😳. I can't imagine doing all you have done while feeling sick! You're a trooper!
I Agree !!! I would bet that most of us who follow you suggest your channel to others. The ‘Sincerity’ is touching. So Educational and Encouraging !!! Thank You for a delightful opportunity to ‘be influenced’ !
Congratulations to all six winners!! Soooo sorry that happened to you guys! It’s happened to our school district principals, they hacked their school emails. Telling the staff they had won $700 gift cards from various department stores. It’s been rampant the last four months around the county. Sheesh, guess people have a lot of time to scam others of late. 😣
It true. No intro, I love it. So many people talk on and on and I’m not patient enough. I don’t watch them. I love that you don’t ask us to subscribe. I hate that. I know when I want to subscribe. Not only that, you are very sincere about your post and passion. Keep it up. Your the only garden show I watch
A seed gathering party sounds like more fun then just going out by yourself! Laura, you’d never know you haven’t felt good...I’m so sorry. Thank you for toughing it out and never missing a beat...like a Viking!🌵🌵🌵🥳
Congratulations to all that won the Colorblends bulbs and thank you Laura for amazing videos and sharing your knowledge and keeping it REAL. Bless you and your family!!
That is just one of the things I love about your channel. No telling us to subscribe, smash the like , ring a bell. Makes me crazy. Hi from Iowa. 75 degrees here.
Love to hear about your plans for the future! Learning something in every video you post and excites me to do more in my own yard! Thank you for all the lovely videos!
Hi Laura, Aaron and Benjamin! I always enjoy the Q&A/Recap videos. There are always some great comments and questions. Thank you guys for just being you!
I love how you and Aaron chat back and fourth, the question about podcasts is almost fulfilled with the two of you chatting while you do highlights video!! :) if Aaron could pop a mic on or hop in front of the camera it would be cool too!
COMPLETELY agree...LOVE no intro no pressure! Just pure honest passion and you are amazing artist and have a fabulous (growing) family!!!! I am only watching your channel now, fed up with others. Your modesty and kindness and interactions with your husband and son and even cats is adorable and inspirational.THANK YOU BOTH!!!
I completely agree with you on the look of magnolias as they age. My mom is a big magnolia fan for nostalgic reasons. They are so beautiful when they bloom but it's so short lived. I just don't know if I could justify having them in my own garden when I can only enjoy the blooms for three to four weeks.
Laura, you and Aaron are so wonderful together. Thank you for all you do. Love your videos and you are the reason I love to garden. My flower containers are awesome because of you. Bless you ❤️❤️❤️
You know, she is right(sorry can’t remember her name), I knew I my mind that I appreciated that you didn’t take video time with an intro and outros. But never actually thought about it. Especially nice when there are you tubers that only post less than 10 mins videos and they spend 2 of those minutes tell people how they have x amount of views but only x amount of likes, please subscribe, talk continuously of their brands and discount codes. So, yes I appreciate that too! I can’t always like the videos bc I watch mostly from streaming through my cable but I always let all the ads play. You guys are great!
I agree with that long comment about not being so commercialized and constantly asking for like, subscribe, comment and all that jazz. Your smile is a good enough opening/closing for me.
7:20 every morning I sit with my cup of coffee and watch your video before I start my work day at 8:00 a.m. -- best way to start the day in my opinion. Love your videos.
I don't even remember how I found your channel. I don't watch many videos, but I DO watch all your videos. I don't even have a garden, 😆 but you've inspired me to take care of my potted plants. Thanks!!! 😊
You are never a disappointment. I look forward to your videos everyday. Times are difficult. Lots of stress. Your videos are lovely and help relieve my stress and inspire me. You are wonderful. Don't change. I love your family. God Bless.
That’s ridiculous you had to go through that. Just having scammers out there is truly a bummer. Thanks for being so patient with this kind of vandalism. You are the greatest. Thanks be to God.
I completely agree on doing the transformation videos! I’ve gone back and watched old videos, and I have a sense of how it’s changed, but it would be so fun to see it put together. Another idea: at the end of each year, do a “Year in Review” video spotlighting the major projects of each year.
I learned about subscribing to RUclips because you did mention it. Then I had to ask my daughter what that was and how to subscribe. So it is good to to tell us to subscribe. And some of us are clueless so we need help getting back to your shows.
I, as well, love the long comment!...it speaks my feelings truly...honesty is a huge part of our passion for gardening. I can't thank you enough for keeping my enthusiasm alive throughout this NH winter!...and an upside life that is getting better every time I watch your vids!...xox
Loved you reading that long comment, it is exactly how I feel. Your videos make me feel like family and it's just so much more personal. Love you guys much.
Hey Laura- I thought of an idea for you for next Spring. Now that you have some experience with the cut flower garden, what about doing a “Grow Along With Me” kind of series? You cloud let everyone know what seeds to get for the Spring, start them out and transplant them. Folks can post their progress and experiences on FB to compare growing zones. Might be a great idea and an opportunity for this community to share from a distance!

Bless your heart! Good therapy! I'm very sorry about loosing your hubby. Many blessings! 🙏💜
I wish my hubby had come back after 10 years. Oh, that is not what you meant? I got a good laugh.
I’m the same as you. My husband passed 9 years ago and I kind of lost my enthusiasm. I would do the basics, fill some pots, trim the bushes and hedge, but until I found Laura and Garden Answer, my heart wasn’t into it. This summer with all that has gone on, I’ve finally found the enjoyment again.

I’m so glad you got back to your garden, Olivia. There is nothing better than getting your hands in the soil, and having the warm sun on your face is there. They have definitely inspired me💖
I completely agree with the lady that expressed her appreciation concerning the intros, asking to subscribe and ring the bell for notifications. I’m a fan of yours and have been for a long time. I look forward every morning to seeing what you’re doing that day. Never a disappointment !
That whole letter told you why WE LOVE YOU, AARON, AND BENJAMIN SO MUCH.
Never,allways a pleasure such inspiration
Sherry Hudson yes I agree I can’t wait to see what’s going on for the day. I think people will like and subscribe without promoting just because they love the content. Love this chanel. I’ve learned so much.
Me too!!!! the intros are too much.
It would be great if the winners could send pics of their Colorblends prizes when they bloom!!
Have you heard of a Subtrainean Watering System??? A Utube person who does succulents mostly said it was better than a Drip system.
Ooooh! I would like that!
That would be great! I remember when we could actually share our garden pictures on FB but that option was taken away. 🤷 I enjoyed seeing pictures of everyone's garden progress. 🌷🌸🌺🥀🌹💐
I totally 100% agree with the comment about no intro to your channel and not asking for likes and subscribes! Your channel is PERFECT! Keep doing what you’re doing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This☝🏻🤗
Well said! Totally agree!
Yes!!! I so agree. I look forward to her videos every day. Always my favorite part of the day 🥰

Me too
But I got rid of my misery ,never getting married again
Ahhhh Ladies...there are very good men out there...Please don't give up. I met my wonderful hubby at church, been married to my best friend for almost 40 years and yes, he treats me amazing. He is a fantastic lover too....Makes my toes curl and my eyes roll back in my head..haha....
@@diamondhair11 This made me smile warmly AND laugh out loud! I'm glad you found such love.❤️

YES to the beginner cut flower garden video!!
Agreed ! 🌸🌺
Every pregnancy is so different and I hope it’s a girl I would love to see a little Laura running around and big brother protecting her
I feel this way too!
And since the pregnancy IS so different, I'm guessing it IS a girl! ♡♡♡
Same here! Her son is so gentle with her and loving. I've noticed my son just like that when my sisters were pregnant with their daughters but when they had they're sons, he was so mean to them! LOL!! It's an old wives tale from my friends and family. A toddler is the best indication of what a pregnant mother is going to have. The opposite sex love each other very much.

Me too!😂💜
Theresa Rasche exactly 😊
Me too!
I agree with that long comment about the intro of your videos. No one wants them! And yes, you are amazing at your job and such a joy to watch . You and Aaron are "my friends in my head".
Actually there's one, Gardening with Creekside that has a great intro that I never ever skip.
Please do a beginners series on starting with seeds!!!!
Cruising Angel she has lots of videos on starting seeds. Just search Garden Answer starting seeds,
Are there any tips for those who don’t have grow lights or a greenhouse? I’d like to start some seeds and live in a warmer climate but don’t have the space for a growing room.
Nicole Greenough what warmer climate do u live in?
Virginia Cox I’m in zone 9b, I believe. It’s very warm here. Winter, we might have a day or two that are freezing. I need to look more into the lighting requirements.

It's so interesting that Aaron put that long comment in this video because I was just thinking many of the commentor's words. I love how you guys function as a unit and we all feel a part of your family. I also agree with the commentor who said they immediately hit like before the video gets going. Because I know I will enjoy whatever you have decided to share with us. Thank you Laura, Aaron, Benjamin and new Baby. ❤️
I agree with one of your followers. You are so natural and real. I recently lost my wonderful mother to cancer. My mom loved having her garden full of colors as well as inside plants. I was never into that, till now I came across your videos on one of my hard days of missing my mom. Planning has become my Physical and mental recovery.
💯on your Chanel.
The idea for a beginner cut garden is awesome. Look forward to that in the future.
The pool... it's always interesting seeing pools with no safety in America. Here in Australia it's illegal to have a pool without a secure pool fence. The fence has to meet several requirements and must be maintained. Far too many children would die by reaching for something in the water, going in the water & not understanding what can happen. We even have a thing called 'Kids Alive Do The 5' - fence the pool, shut the gate, teach your kids to swim it's great, supervise - watch your mate, and learn how to resuscitate. So important. 😊 🌊
In an urban and suburban area there would be a fence but on acreage like they have it's not required.
Yup so weird seeing pools without fences. It looks nice but not very safe when u have little kids running around
It depends where you live. Here in the northeast it is very regulated.
However, even if there is a gate around a pool and a kids ball goes over the fence....let there be no mistaking that many kids will find a way to get get over the fence.... we must remember that all the education in the world does not stop accidents from happening, it is the unfortunate part of life and the learning process, at all ages.
This is reality so please do not turn this into an argument.
Laura and her family have said they don't bubblewrap but rather have chosen to take the time to walk in Benjamin's foot steps :) and I love that!
I don’t think anyone is arguing, just sharing differences around the world.
DepressednWondering's comment is spot on, many of us feel the exact same way, dang I wish I could come up with those comments! 😂, but we do feel it Laura, most of us do. You are the perfect example of the channel that you go to to escape from the real world from time to time, and when the video is done you feel refreshed and more often than not I find myself with a smile on my face that I had not noticed before or going back to a funny part over and over again. May life give you, your family and those around you the best things this life has to offer, you deserve it, thanks for being such a source of positivity and good vibes that this world needs. 😘
Thank you for respecting plant breeders’ work and patents. Fruit tree varieties can be 20-30 years from cross to release because they do years of testing and evaluation.
DepressedNWondering really expressed how a lot of us feel about you, your family and your channel. It’s just a joy to watch Garden Answer videos!
I always felt like I couldn’t win any of your giveaways because I only watch y’all on utube I don’t use Facebook I tried it for a while and I just need to stay focused on my family and not all the other people that seems to suck you in to negativity thank y’all for being such positive people love watching y’all
13 months off Facebook and I feel like a new person. What a vile app!
I feel happier just doing You Tube. Gave up FB. Never did Instagram, Twitter or FB. I too feel happier. I have more free time to learn about projects and topics I am interested in. ☺️
"Hey Guys, How's it Going!"
Then good stuff (with a friendly smile) in the middle...
"See You Next Time!" - at the end.
I am so used to hearing you say those things Laura, and I like it!
It feels friendly, and genuine.
I would truly miss this daily interaction if you were to ever go.
Thank You for being my You Tube friend! ♡♡♡
I am also really in love with her hi and bye
So true, I catch myself telling my husband, “Laura did it this way or Aaron demonstrated it this way”. Haha. It is like GA is part of my family and friends. We do invite them over everyday or vice versa, lol. Love it!
I totally agree, you don't need to ask for subscribers. People will like and share and subscribe when they really want to. I tell everyone about your channel including random strangers at the Garden Center and I can't imagine someone finding your channel and not subscribing! 🙂
me too!!!
I have found myself also talking to beginners at the local garden center. I share information about Garden Answer to the staff and they now carry Espoma products and we do need to tell them what plants we want a couple seasons before they order because getting them shipped to your home is different than having them shipped to a garden center. You do learn by trial and error and watching GA how to bump things up, plant from seed, use inside grow lights and a plethora of well documented info following GA channel. Best subscription in my repertoire 😊😎
I am so excited about the future beginner cut garden video or series!!🌸🌼🌻💐🌺
Laura - Your family is part of my daily routine. As a new home owner, a young person that moved just before quarantine, and someone trying to find my passions in life, thank you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge as well as your joyful, uplifting persona. You’re a wonderful role model. You radiate patience, grace and forgiveness.
100% agree with the long comment. Love the no intros and the need to tell everyone to subscribe. The majority of people are not new to RUclips we know how to subscribe to things if we want to they don't need to be told every video by every RUclipsr. Keep up the great work
Depressed and Wondering is 100% right and y’all’s response was perfect! I agree!
Johnny's has stuff to make an end closure called a scissor end, they also have a pdf. It opens much wider than the dutch door and can be used for both ends.
Completely agree with the lady regarding the intros and the natural, wonderful way you teach us each week-thank you!
I must confess that I watch you first thing every morning. You help me to start my day out right, inspired and excited about life.
Yes to the beginner cut flower video series!
I go to RUclips every morning to check out if there is a new video to have my coffee with but if there isn't a new video I will drink my coffee with a rerun and still enjoy it. Thanks from Australia.💜
I feel you 100 % on the pregnancy and eating! I could never let my stomach get empty or I would be 10 times as sick. I had to eat every 2 years and its was awful. Glad you are doing better. I had a girl btw💗
I am so sorry that the random bad guys of social media struck your site, you did a fantastic job of addressing the situation and caught it really early, you are very good Shepard’s of your interests!!
I love your empathy and expressions here.. I’m currently sitting here in my house and fires are surrounded us. I live in Northern California! This has been quite a year. If I’m needing a pick me up and I always watch RUclips garden videos, just subscribed to your Chanel as an extension to my garden family.. IG as well, thank you for all you fun and informative videos. 🌿🌸🙋🏻♀️🐝
I so agree 100% w/ depressednwondering. I didn't go to school for it but I did start working in a garden center this year and previously watched you, but this year has been most of the time as I learn so very much from you and learn about great products & techniques. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your lives, your family is amazing and its nice to watch it grow. Love you all as though I know you, you guys are great & real, that's what makes your channel so enjoyable!!! I too always press like 1st, guess in not alone, hahaha
I used to work at edible arrangements. We used a half a head of iceberg lettuce as a frog. Granted we were using skewers but, hey. It's not foam😉
Loved seeing Dexter....what a pretty kitty he was. 🥰🥰 🤠 🇺🇸
Aaron, I know your the mastermind behind the video's, regarding the video on collecting cut flowers & making the wreath, LOVE that video, watching the slow motion of Laura collecting the flowers is so relaxing and just charming, something about it is just peaceful & encouraging to enjoy the beauty of your work in the garden, and options to do things w/ the flowers. Keep up the great work, so enjoy watching you guys.
Pam Schonfarber i know Pam, I loved that video also. The delicate music while she picked the flowers was spot on!!
I agree with that long comment! I just love how natural your channel is and you just get into it and you show the good the bad and the ugly it’s just one of the reasons why I wanted to guarded as much as I’m guarding now, and why I put flower pots together and I hadn’t before. Thank you so much for just being you, you and Aaron and Benjamin!
I started gardening when I discover your channel too. And everyone in my neighborhood asks me how I know so much about gardening and how I keep all my petunias and annuals looking so good and like garden answers in RUclips 🙂
I love your videos for the reasons that one women stated too. I like composting because I like to keep soil clean and safe to use in my yard. I'm always concerned about getting poisoned soil because you never know.
Please keep your videos as they are. The happiness you bring your viewers every morning is due to the fact these videos are you. Thank you for all you do for us. Blessings to you and yours.
It's great to hear your reaction to that long comment. It's so wonderful to see you enjoy your career (as unexpected as it may have been). When your job is your passion, it's a true blessing!
Ditto, on that long comment. All of it is definitely true. You are a natural!❤️🌹🌼🌷
There are so many scammers on social media and we all need to be careful and think twice about giving out personal information.
Do not EVER give personal information..
If I had a dime for ever customer who calls in asking for a new PIN or the CVV code on the back of their card (because they have the card number saved but misplaced the card), I'd be able to make a car payment. But, they don't want to give out their mother's maiden name to secure the account because that's too much information. 😒 In this situation, the best way of providing information would be to go to the website of the actual merchant, call Customer Service, and be assured that you're talking to the folks who send you a statement.
That was my point, call the number on your card and keep accurate records of what goes in and what goes out. Don't give information to someone who calls out of the blue.
I totally agree 100% with everything that Depressedenwondering said about you. I started gardening this year when I found your channel during the pandemic quarantine and I am so happy I did because you've helped me get through some really tough times. Thank you for being so inspiring, honest, funny, sweet and for sharing your knowledge. Many blessings to you and your beautiful family. :)
Sandye Montes Awe, as a subscriber, that is such a sweet comment to make. A lot of them are. We do love Laura, Aaron, Benjamin, Mom, Dad, Joe and Sister who lives out of town. We would have a happier world if all families were as grounded as these folks are. I loved her Mom trips to forage in the woods, planting containers in town, cutting lavender to create lavender wreaths. I love she and Aaron doing things for her MIL, her Mom and Dad, neighbors and friends. Gosh, if we all approached each other with so much respect and care, AHH, what an inspiration they are! God Bless GA and all The channel Family❤️❤️❤️
Love the beginner cut flower idea. So sad to hear about Dexter you cat, and thank you for answering the kitty question. It truly feels like we are all part of your life in gardening that seeing the cats, your family and friends, is an added treat and brings a smile to my face every single time. By the way, I have this feeling you are going to have a girl! I felt it since the moment you announced it.
I do admit that my Southern Magnolia is messy. I rake all the time but when I sit in my ratty old chair to take a break from weeding, one little breeze and it's heaven! I wish someone would bottle the fragrance. The bees get inside the enormous blooms and actually kick out the little bits on the inside and shower you with that fragrance. It's so worth the mess! It seems like anything beautiful in the garden comes with a price!! Can't wait to see what's in store for that new piece of ground! Best wishes and hugs 🤗
I have one too!
A true Southern Magnolia!
And yes, being down wind of that flower fragrance is GLORIOUS!!!
We like ours so much we named it.
It's the Bob Tree !
And it has a story.
My Daddy Bob noticed it growing from seed, in a place not known for Magnolias. He dubbed it a fighter, then proceeded to guard it to make sure nothing would happen to it.
That was 25 years ago.
My Daddy Bob has since passed away, but The Bob Tree is still going strong!!
And he did see the tree become a strong teenager tho!
Now all of his kids have Bob Tree babies in their yards to keep The Bob Tree lineage alive!
It's now a weird family tradition, but also a lot of fun at the same time.
And we all remember our Daddy Bob whenever we're around it.
Funny how plants become so intertwined with our lives, isn't it! ♡
Congrats to winners 🥳 Thank you Laura for the heads up on scams 😲
Amen...thank you for not doing an opening trailer! I find them so tedious as well.
Sweet to see how Benjamin is always welcomed on screen...We Break for Benjamin. Sweet hugs and kisses.
That long comment is why I always come back to your channel. And why I keep gardening. You make it fun. I learned a lot from you and your family. Thank from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
Congratulations to the bulb winners!🌻
I like that you're a natural friendly gal. The reason I return is because there's not all that comercialism and self promotion.. Watching your videos and your FB page is like sitting down with the gal next door. You remind me of the gal I grew up with. Still a long and trusted friend because she's naturaly a great gal and has integrity. Stay just he way you are. Your Mom is a natural too. :-)
PK love her Mom and family!
Looking forward to the "Beginner's Guild to Creating a Cut Flower Garden". Good idea!
ditto on no intro....really appreciate getting straight to the content....!
When I used straw I put newspaper down first that turns into compost underneath and keeps the weeds down. Knowing you, I am sure you know that. You inspire me everyday!
I agree with the long comment wholeheartedly. I skip videos with intros or loud music. I have transformed my small UK garden, window boxes and baskets. I have only been following you since lockdown. I have noe however, gone back over four years haha you and Aaron feel like part of my family. Also I loved Benjamin videoing you picking the sunflowers xx
Laura, that comment about you and your channel is so TRUE!! That was such a nice compliment!! I love your channel!! I enjoy when Benjamin comes in on the videos, I enjoy seeing Aaron and you doing projects together and the cats and the chickens!! Now we wait in the baby!! God bless you all!!🌿
I second the comment on intros/outros and like/share/subscribe reminders. Bless you for having neither. You don't need them. Just keep doing you.
Btw, I had difficult pregnancies, too. When my daughter was born at 38 weeks, I was 15 pounds lighter than when I became pregnant. I couldn't keep anything down but was starving all the time up until three days after she was born. You look healthy and happy and I'm glad to hear you're over the roughest part. Still praying for you. ~ Lisa
Yes! Can't wait for a beginner cut flower garden video!
So I can relate with the sickness! I was having morning sickness for WAY too long with my second pregnancy, and when I told my Dr., He said that could be a sign of low Iron. He put me on an extra Iron supplement and sure enough, I felt better! I love y'all and look forward to seeing your videos! So inspiring!💕
I LOVE that you don't ask us to subscribe! At the beginning that is what sold me to keep watching you. I really love that you don't!
I loved the comment by the subscriber who talked about how genuine you are in your videos. And I too like how you never ask us to like or share. You are a delight to watch and listen too and I have learned so much from your videos.
That was a long totally awesome comment...however it reflects how we all feel!!! Best channel ever...
I have always appreciated you not advertising yourself by asking people to like and subscribe. I think it’s a great choice. I enjoy watching your channels!
You upload so much that I feel spoiled everytime I get to watch a new video! ❤️
I have a pile for soil, steps, soft clippings etc that I leave in an area I don't use for the bugs and bees to over winter in. Then I have two twig and branch piles for the birds to over winter in as well. It REALLY helps out wildlife! Compost helps the environment and wildlife too in so many ways!
I have enjoyed gardening since I was a child, but never as much as now being a faithful viewer of Garden Answer. I think it is sweet that you are uncomfortable asking people to like and subscribe to your channel. I spend so much time in garden centers that people often think I work there and approach me with questions LOL. I take each and every opportunity to recommend your channel to everyone I speak to. No worries Laura, your channel will continue to grow by word of mouth :)
“Depressednwondering” said it all perfectly 💗🥰💗🥰
This is so sad. Because you have done such a good job of making gardening interesting and informing and now some people with evil intentions have taken advantage. Thank you for all you do to help us gardeners.
So glad you're feeling a little better, I understand so well what you mean by needing to keep something in your stomach or else the sickness creeps up! I was sick with my daughter until I was about 19 weeks 😳. I can't imagine doing all you have done while feeling sick! You're a trooper!
I Agree !!! I would bet that most of us who follow you suggest your channel to others. The ‘Sincerity’ is touching. So Educational and Encouraging !!! Thank You for a delightful opportunity to ‘be influenced’ !
Congratulations to all six winners!!
Soooo sorry that happened to you guys!
It’s happened to our school district principals, they hacked their school emails. Telling the staff they had won $700 gift cards from various department stores. It’s been rampant the last four months around the county.
Sheesh, guess people have a lot of time to scam others of late. 😣
It true. No intro, I love it. So many people talk on and on and I’m not patient enough. I don’t watch them. I love that you don’t ask us to subscribe. I hate that. I know when I want to subscribe. Not only that, you are very sincere about your post and passion. Keep it up. Your the only garden show I watch
A seed gathering party sounds like more fun then just going out by yourself!
Laura, you’d never know you haven’t felt good...I’m so sorry. Thank you for toughing it out and never missing a beat...like a Viking!🌵🌵🌵🥳
Congratulations to all that won the Colorblends bulbs and thank you Laura for amazing videos and sharing your knowledge and keeping it REAL. Bless you and your family!!
That is just one of the things I love about your channel. No telling us to subscribe, smash the like , ring a bell. Makes me crazy. Hi from Iowa. 75 degrees here.
Love to hear about your plans for the future! Learning something in every video you post and excites me to do more in my own yard! Thank you for all the lovely videos!
Hi Laura, Aaron and Benjamin! I always enjoy the Q&A/Recap videos. There are always some great comments and questions. Thank you guys for just being you!
I love how you and Aaron chat back and fourth, the question about podcasts is almost fulfilled with the two of you chatting while you do highlights video!! :) if Aaron could pop a mic on or hop in front of the camera it would be cool too!
COMPLETELY agree...LOVE no intro no pressure! Just pure honest passion and you are amazing artist and have a fabulous (growing) family!!!! I am only watching your channel now, fed up with others. Your modesty and kindness and interactions with your husband and son and even cats is adorable and inspirational.THANK YOU BOTH!!!
I completely agree with you on the look of magnolias as they age. My mom is a big magnolia fan for nostalgic reasons. They are so beautiful when they bloom but it's so short lived. I just don't know if I could justify having them in my own garden when I can only enjoy the blooms for three to four weeks.
Laura, you and Aaron are so wonderful together. Thank you for all you do. Love your videos and you are the reason I love to garden. My flower containers are awesome because of you. Bless you ❤️❤️❤️
You know, she is right(sorry can’t remember her name), I knew I my mind that I appreciated that you didn’t take video time with an intro and outros. But never actually thought about it. Especially nice when there are you tubers that only post less than 10 mins videos and they spend 2 of those minutes tell people how they have x amount of views but only x amount of likes, please subscribe, talk continuously of their brands and discount codes. So, yes I appreciate that too! I can’t always like the videos bc I watch mostly from streaming through my cable but I always let all the ads play. You guys are great!
Ohhhhh what a treat before bed💕💕
I agree with that long comment about not being so commercialized and constantly asking for like, subscribe, comment and all that jazz. Your smile is a good enough opening/closing for me.
7:20 every morning I sit with my cup of coffee and watch your video before I start my work day at 8:00 a.m. -- best way to start the day in my opinion. Love your videos.
This was me before I worked from home ☺️👯♀️
I don't even remember how I found your channel. I don't watch many videos, but I DO watch all your videos. I don't even have a garden, 😆 but you've inspired me to take care of my potted plants. Thanks!!! 😊
You are never a disappointment. I look forward to your videos everyday. Times are difficult. Lots of stress. Your videos are lovely and help relieve my stress and inspire me. You are wonderful. Don't change. I love your family. God Bless.
That’s ridiculous you had to go through that. Just having scammers out there is truly a bummer. Thanks for being so patient with this kind of vandalism. You are the greatest. Thanks be to God.
YES!! Completely agree with the long message. Everything that was written is truth! ❤️
Congratulations to the bulb winners!
I completely agree on doing the transformation videos! I’ve gone back and watched old videos, and I have a sense of how it’s changed, but it would be so fun to see it put together.
Another idea: at the end of each year, do a “Year in Review” video spotlighting the major projects of each year.
I am also agree with that lady.
I am new to youtube. Soon after I sign up, I subscribed Garden answer because I feel more connect and welcoming.
Congrats to all the winners ❤️
I learned about subscribing to RUclips because you did mention it. Then I had to ask my daughter what that was and how to subscribe. So it is good to to tell us to subscribe. And some of us are clueless so we need help getting back to your shows.
I, as well, love the long comment!...it speaks my feelings truly...honesty is a huge part of our passion for gardening. I can't thank you enough for keeping my enthusiasm alive throughout this NH winter!...and an upside life that is getting better every time I watch your vids!...xox
Loved you reading that long comment, it is exactly how I feel. Your videos make me feel like family and it's just so much more personal. Love you guys much.
Hey Laura- I thought of an idea for you for next Spring. Now that you have some experience with the cut flower garden, what about doing a “Grow Along With Me” kind of series? You cloud let everyone know what seeds to get for the Spring, start them out and transplant them. Folks can post their progress and experiences on FB to compare growing zones. Might be a great idea and an opportunity for this community to share from a distance!
