    I just wanna say, your priorities are awesome. My respect to you skyrocketed at the end of the video, when you said that you'll skip the planting part and just wanna hang out with the boys. Love that really.

      Laura always puts her family first.
      She and Aaron turned down a TV network deal for the same reason.
      Family is clearly her main priority, not money or fame.

    Laura, I just want to thank you and Aaron for this channel. You have made this time, with all the yuck in the world, more bearable for me. I'm learning SO MUCH from you and I'm no longer afraid to garden. I guess I've always been afraid of messing it up. Which is just silly. I now have a plan for my front and back yards. It may take years to get there, but it's all about the journey, right? I know we're strangers, but I just love your sweet family, and I wish you every blessing. Looking forward, as always, to your next video.

      You took the words right out of my mouth. One of the things I love most about this channel is she isn't afraid to admit she (and her garden) are not perfect. She will show us the flaws and how to fix them. And she does have the sweetest little family.

I have been here 1 year & it’s a total transformation. I went from no plants in my previous home, to walking the flowerbeds every day and looking at such great results. I look forward to what you share with us, we all get so many great ideas from you and your family. Thank you for all you do for us all!

    Thank you for acknowledging the misery of gardening in humidity! I'm a former CA/OR girl who now lives in VA where we have 90%+ humidity through the summers... It's seriously like walking around in someone's mouth. My garden is on Main Street where everyone walks by so every morning my neighbors see me as a red-faced, dripping, highly undignified lady, they probably don't think I'm the same person who leaves for work an hour later lol! Just wanted to say thank you for making me feel better about how hard it is to work in southern humidity!!

I should be under water for 100% humidity. No way I'm messing around with that. I have away my park hopper pass (I fundraised for it) and I chose indoor pursuits that week.
