Hello. I personally feel you made a great decision on not recording your Mail opening videos. I feel that you tubers that do upload those kinds of videos do it to encourage people to send more gifts. I love your channel and respect you even more after this. I always thought you all were genuine and kind people and now I’m sure of it. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with all of us.
I agree. I find it uncomfortable and awkward to watch someone open gifts from strangers. There's just one channel (The Farm) that I enjoy watching gift opening on. They rehabilitate shelter dogs and 99.9% of the gifts are toys and treats for the dogs.
Agree, I feel so totally uncomfortable that I won't even watch those types of video. If you are someone who sends something because that isbyour love language, sending is its own reward and hopefully not doing it just for video recognition.
Also, brands will start sending gifts to get their product seen by viewers. Having to deal with all of that stuff would be stressful.
I agree especially when watching all the outfits people sent for Samantha, so cute but no way they could possible have her wear all those clothes there were so many outfits. Children grow so fast the first year or two. I know if it were me I’d feel bad I couldn’t possible have her wear all those outfits people sent.
I always felt a little inadequate with the gift opening ,glad it’s gone !
Mail time was sweet but awkward for all the reasons you described. So much stuff would make me crazy. It was a good choice to let it go. Your channel is perfectly structured now and I enjoy and appreciate your hard work, your judgment, and the content you provide. I get all the feels watching Garden Answer. It is inspiring, touching, laugh out loud funny, and heartwarming. Thanks for sharing! Please make sure you always balance your work life so you don’t get burned out because I would miss this terribly.
You summed it up perfectly
I agree❤
No to the mail time, I watch for your gardening knowledge and joy of gardening, You inspire us to garden😊
Never liked mail time jmo
Agree, definite NO to mail time.
thank you for having appropriate boundaries
It was sooo uncomfortable. Almost made me stop watching your videos.
@@susans1679 Especially the last one, when you could tell Aaron was so over it!
I’m in the no to mail time camp, even though it has a Christmas morning feel to it. It started to feel like people were trying to outdo each other, and put a lot of pressure on how you were expected to react. You do give shout outs now, and that seems just right.
I don’t want to lend any negativity here, but it bothers me when there are repeated questions (bordering on criticism) regarding your wealth, or what you own or buy. I know I’m old-school and was raised to not question people I don’t know about money matters, so maybe things are more relaxed now. I feel you and Aaron have graciously provided more information than the askers deserved. I can’t speak for others, but I enjoy living vicariously to scale. This is your business, you’re phenomenal at it, you clearly love it, and we are the beneficiaries.
Alright, off my soapbox now…
Amen!
No mail time.
Yes plus it was kinda boring
Don't miss the mail shot videos at all, and I get why you stopped them. It's really lovely that people want to bless you but at the same time I think it could be awkward for people who are struggling. Love your videos, your authenticity and enthusiasm! Enjoy the weekend with your Dad Aaron. Travel safe.
keep doing the good work 🙏🙏
Yes, you're right
the article on your page was informative and it caught my eye, hope you don't mind getting to know each other better.
6:59 Aaron saying 'It's Rare' cracked me up! And what made it funnier is Laura not catching it! 😆
I think some people don't understand how hard and long y'all work. I'm so happy for y'all and proud for you two. You deserve everything you get.💙❤️💙❤️
I like thinking that you guys spend your time with your sweet kids, rather than spending time opening boxes. Mail times were a big “no vote” for this viewer. Love all of your garden content!
I'm so pleased that Aaron is going out and relax with his dad
I don't miss mail time lol
I do not miss Mail time !!
Happy Birthday Aaron's dad! What a wonderful gift! Enjoy the game!
I am in Minnesota-glad to have your family here today. It is beautiful weather too!!!!
you all helped me realize that it was okay to ask for outside garden help when I needed it. I found a really nice young man from one of the garden places I use and he has been a God send.
I wish I could find one of those!
I so enjoy the Sunday morning recaps
Feels like a chat with friends
Hi lovely couple! I love all your videos, but since the question came up… I am actually not missing your mail opening videos. I know lots of people appreciated them but to me they were always a bit too much… I hope I don’t come across as rude, I really don’t want to be, but it felt a bit wasteful, all the things and all the packaging and all the transports included. I am not a environmental superhero by any means, but since we’re all learning more and more about how our actions affect this one beautiful planet-home of ours, I think you’ve made the right decision to stop doing those videos. I admire you and the enthusiasm you bring to us. I can’t thank you enough for that. 🍀🌸
I enjoyed seeing the new items.. each to their own but it was fun for me
I really disliked it. It was wasteful in more ways than one.
Mail opening was not my thing either.
I agree but on a different level - what may seem beautiful and something that Laura and Aaron would love, might be the contrary! Why put them in a position to have to get rid of an unliked or unnecessary gift just because you liked it enough to package it and pay shipping for it! Just my thoughts! Thank you Laura and Aaron for everything you share!
At the “ Chateau Dairies “ Stephanie does a separate vlog on gifts and donates that money to charity! But it would b more work for u guys , and you’d probably b covered!!!!
I don't miss mail time!
Aaron, what a lovely gift to present to your Dad. Have fun and safe travels.
I hope Aaron, his Dad and brother enjoyed the game-and the Vikings WON!!!😊🎉🏈!!!!! Yippee!! WHAT a birthday gift and MEMORY!!
Also not a big fan of mail time. I think your analysis of the optics is correct.
Aaron has such a great sense of humor. Laura says, "But what if it's a "rare" shrub?" Later when Laura is explaining why Japanese Forest Grass may be expensive, Aaron says with a wry smile, "It's "rare"." Hehehehe! I agree that mail time is a nice idea in theory, but glad that it won't be brought back. You've worked hard to create a wonderful business for which we are thankful.
Such a great birthday gift for Aaron’s father and truly special to include Aaron’s brother! I have no doubt that the Vikings’ win was also a major part of the gift! Go Vikings! ❤
keep doing the good work 🙏🙏
Agree on mail time. But I did love when you found a new gardening tool or a company sent you something to try in the garden. Loved seeing those unboxed and you trying them out. I ended up getting a couple and they are game changers in the garden. Like the Kangaroo pop up bag. Love it!
Good point! Maybe some tool reviews would be good to have now and then. What would our worlds be like if we’d never heard of a Hoselink?
I laughed aloud when you said, "Is he talking about MY Japanese Maple?" Kepa you hands off!
Loved and purchased the great box cutter you used during Mail Time :-) Enjoyed those videos in the beginning but it did feel overwhelming to you later on. Don't miss them now.
The pumpkin that is used in most pumpkin cans is usually Dickinson pumpkin. It is closely related to Butternut squash.
No, I don’t miss mail time. I like the way you’re handling it off camera. 😊
Good morning! Love the recap videos! Aaron, have a great trip. What a wonderful, generous gift for your dad.
I agree with you guys not doing Mail time anymore.
Minnesota is beautiful this time of the year, hope you have a great trip, Aaron.
I do not miss "mail time"...thank you. Love your videos though. Many thanks 😊
Update: so happy Minnesota won while Aaron and his dad were there to see the game live. Makes the trip that much more fun. 💜🏈💜
Yes, you're right
the article on your page was informative and it caught my eye, hope you don't mind getting to know each other better.
You all are such gracious hard workers, and I am thrilled you are successful in what you do. None of the others that I follow put out the number of videos you do. Laura is so good at explaining things, so I refer to old videos when I want to know how to plant something. I looked up garlic this week.
I have Green Velvets exclusively. They grow in partial shade and never have any issues. They are absolutely gorgeous in winter against snow. They have a brilliant sheen, are full and healthy, and I rarely ever have even a little winterkill. I only bought a few many years ago, took cuttings, and now have a big hedge. I'm zone 5 in upstate NY.
keep doing the good work 🙏🙏
I always enjoy your enthusiasm Laura! You are always so appreciative of the work done for you and projects you have done for yourself. Your hair and eyes are so beautiful!
keep doing the good work 🙏🙏
Since I always watch you on FB I never viewed you on utube until the brief "music issue" with FB, which is how I finally found your weekly recap giving me another day of Garden Answer! Love the format and feel like I get to know Aaron a lot more and gain additional insights to Laura as well. So terrific that all your hard work is paying off for you. You get to do what you love, educate your viewers and build a wonderful home for your beautiful family! 💕
I'm so thankful for your videos, loved every single one this week. As far as mail-times go, I feel like these recaps took the place of mail-times beautifully, just a more relaxed/chatty videos, love it 🙂 OMG, and the roses in the backdoor entrance 🥴 I'm so happy you decided to change the landscape more to your liking and how you use the space, as an architecture student I've come to learn that the way you use your spaces should dictate the design and it's so worth it to do those changes, I need to do some of that myself in the garden, at the entrance to my hoophouse for example, I have a huge Fuchsia growing into my path and a lot of orange Thumbergia growing into the hoophouse and it stresses me out way too much 🙄
Welcome to Minnesota Aaron and The Guys! You've got a gorgeous day to enjoy the game. In the words of the Vikings - Skol!
Hope they know ear plugs are a good idea !
OH FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!!! Stop asking Laura and Aaron if they're rich. It's none of anyone's business what their income is. They work hard for what they have so who cares if they're rich or not. I just want to see the beauty that Laura creates and the beautiful green grass that Aaron sows.
So funny that you talked about first starting out with Garden Answer... I was home sick all last week and decided to binge watch from the beginning. It was so fun watching all the video content, seeing Laura and Aaron from so many years ago and catching little glimpses of mom, dad and Andrews Nursery. Wow! You really have come a long way in confidence, maturity and content style. I am a florist and I have gleaned many project ideas to share with our customers.♡ I haven't watched all the way through yet but was able to watch up to the year you moved into your current home and your trip to Mackinac Island when you were riding bicycles around touring homes. I believe I started watching your channel on a regular basis around 2018... still a lot of videos to see! Thank you for always being so amazing! I hope Aaron, his dad and brother have a fun trip.. Go Vikes!! 💜💛💜💛
keep doing the good work 🙏🙏
Yes, you're right
the article on your page was informative and it caught my eye, hope you don't mind getting to know each other better.
I wonder if Aaron gets recognized out in the world. My partner was also at the game and was given instructions to buy Aaron a beer if he saw him!
Happy Belated Birthday to Aaron’s dad! Hope they had a fun time at the game! It was a close one! Next week the Dolphins (my home team) are playing the Vikings in Minnesota. The Dolphins started out so well and now with all the injuries we stink! May the best team win!
People should also understand that spending money on your business is a tax deduction you need every year. Employees, hiring professionals, trips, plants and trees, equipment and cameras…all deductible and super smart. Have fun at the game! Great video yall!
You guys work so hard to bring good, useful and enjoyable content to gardeners and non-gardeners alike. I for one am thrilled to see your success. Hard work should be rewarded and it's good to see that in a troubled time such as the one we live in, it is rewarded. You two prove that the "American Dream" is still alive - work hard, be honest, be decent, be kind and reap the rewards, Onwards and upwards guys!
☕️Good morning Laura and Aaron and all GA friends. Thank you all for making my work day in a retail store soooooo much more tolerable today! Wonderful information and advice, but the smiles and laughter are the best part of watching you. Enjoy the new week everyone 🧡🎃🌻🍁🍂💛🧡🎃
Please, no mail time.
I have been watching a long time. I agree about mail time. It is better private. I appreciate someone giving in a gift in a private setting. In a public setting it is hard on the recipient. Especially on You Tube.
Hi there! I don’t miss the mail time. And I just thought tell your viewers to donate what they would send or spend money on for you guys to a charity in need. 😊❤️
Go Vikings! I'm from Minnesota and you got a beautiful weekend in Minnesota to watch the game! Enjoy your time with your Dad!
No to mail time.
😂😂😂 “is he talking about my Japanese Maple?” Sooo adorable Laura. I love ur approach to plants is to just move on, there are some of us who can’t let go lol
Please. No more mail time…
I absolutely love watching you and Aaron improve and expand your property! It seems to progress so logically and sequentially….if that makes sense. I started watching your program just about the time you tore apart pallets to build the little rustic walkway behind the chicken coop.. I was tickled to see you out there with that saws all just “gettin after it” as you say! Now I look forward to every post wondering what will be revealed today! It’s as much about the projects as it is about the gardening! Speaking of which, I was wondering if we can hope for a piano concert? I loved watching and listening to you play when you sampled the Baby Grand! Thank you for working so hard and giving so much and being so sweet. Jill S.
I knew I liked Aaron! He has Minnesota blood in him! I watched the video after I already knew the Vikings had won. Glad they saw a great game in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. I grew up in St. Paul, and currently live just south of Buffalo, NY. Both my favorite teams won today!
I, for one, do not need to have the reasons why you spend what you spend. You have been blessed and you have been blessing others out of your abundance. I don’t have to explain to anyone (well, except maybe my husband 😉) what I do with my income. You do work hard and your business has grown and we hope it continues! I was searching for a video tonight to enjoy and remembered I had not finished watching. Stay upbeat and don’t feel guilty or struggle to explain!
Aaah! Aarons in MN today! As I type this it’s sunny and beautiful! The trees are at peak! Have fun at the game and hopefully they win!! 🏈-Jennifer 💕
I love when you give a growers perspective. It helps to understand why they price the way they do, why they carry certain items etc. Happy birthday to Aaron's dad!
How fun for Aaron and dad and brother!! My mom is from Little Falls MN. She’s 94 and has lived in OKlahoma or Kansas mostly as an adult. She still roots for her Vikings!!
Living in Oklahoma it’s much better than rooting for Cowboys
I don't miss the mail opening. They were fine but I prefer the videos you are doing now.
I certainly understand your reasons for stopping the mail time videos, but I loved them. Particularly the items used in your gardens, not the personal gifts though.
I'm so glad to hear you are not fussy about shoe's in the house! I feele the same...generally my shoe's are cleaner then my feet! Lol
Great new sound equipment Aaron. I’ve missed a bit and this was a cool surprise! I appreciate you both so much and the details you utilize trying to improve the experience we have ❤
It seems they got quite a bit pushback when they first got them in the comment too. And they just stick with it. It must be a much better quality. I respect that!! Not getting influenced and making good business decisions
I am surprised that people are still not aware of how being a RUclipsr with something wonderful to share and great presentation can be a very lucrative business. It is the combination of you and your family 's charm and experience that make your channel very successful hence, sponsors and paychecks. Thank you for putting it back into your channel for all of us to enjoy!
My 2 sons took their dad to a Raiders football game for his 60th birthday. They flew to Seattle for the weekend and the whole thing was a surprise also. The Raiders won which made it made it even better.
Laura, I too have a comfy life approach in my living space😊. Once the kids are 5 or so you’ll find you have less accidents in the living room. I feel like I became a professional carpet cleaner lol. Shampooer is a great investment. You can gift yourself with your dream carpet later❤
Fantastic recap. Everything was amazing. Aron have a wonderful time with your dad so sweet. Totally appreciate the recap video’s. Loved seeing more of the kids in this one. Precious. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Please, NO MORE mail time!
I am enjoying this recap while my husband is watching the Vikings! Great Sunday for me. I’ll start watching for Aaron in the crowd. 😂😂😂
Happy birthday 🎂 to Aaron's dad! Have a fun and safe trip you guys! About pie pumpkins, in Romania we had the kind that is not watery at all and we used to bake them in the oven and eat them like that and we made like a strudel with pumpkin filling....so yummy! Over here I didn't find a pumpkin like that in 38 years. Sometimes we use yummy(sweet potatoes... orange flash ones) it kind of reminds us of that. My mom used to make it and since she doesn't know how to cook anymore 😟 did not have them anymore, probably in at least 4 maybe even 5 years. Love the recap! 🤗💗🤗
You know I really appreciate the long journey it has taken to get the brick walkway. I so appreciate the transformation!
I really love today’s recap. But I especially can’t wait until you get your trees and you show the install. I am interested in watching how they do the staking and how they insert the mollies.
I love your recap videos! I like to listen while I'm working and it's just nice that you both take the time out to do these :)
Go Vikings! I live in Minnesota. Hope we can have good weather for your trip & a win for a fun experience & memories. What an awesome way to celebrate your Dad.
I have enjoyed this week’s videos a lot. And it follows that I enjoyed the recap as well! 👍💚💚💚
I am happy for all of your success 🤩 You deserve to feel inspired, creative and free, as we all do, and to watch you create, is definitely inspiring ❤️
Yeah Vikings, Minnesota girl here, love, love your videos, hope you had a great time Happy Birthday 🎂
I love the weekly roundup videos, you two present very enjoyable conversation and it lets us see Aaron (the man mostly behind the scenes) as the full, enjoyable personality he is. And from Minnesota to your Vikings party of men, may they not break your hearts!
Have a GREAT TRIP AARON!
Can’t wait to hear about your
adventures!!!
Love the recap videos! Tree shopping, and 💖the antique
shopping!
Have a great week gardening
friends!

Good morning Laura and Aaron! Thank you for the highlights and have a great football weekend! Hugs from N.C..❤️
No mail time! I never understood people wanting to send you things! (You clearly make enough to buy your own thing!)
What are you suppose to do with that stuff? I guess u can donate it but that means you have to box it all up and deliver it somewhere after spending your time opening it all and sorting it.
I would not like having things sent to me randomly from unknown people! I don’t get it!
It's a parasocial relationship thing.
Not to mention that people wanted to give something to LAURA, not have their gift given away. That is what I didn’t like about the volume of gifts given.
I don't miss mail time. While you received many lovely gifts from subscribers I think your right to enjoy it as a family. Plus it must feel better for you to sit down to write a sincere thank you letter.
Fun recap, perfect start to my Sunday morning. Have a blessed day!
It’s never a dumb move when you get that much food from a plant. I.e. your butternut squash. I would have loved to have that to can for my family. 😁😁😁
So fun watching you and your mom in your element “antiquing.” You have said Monica loves to cook so would be fun to see in her element. She mentioned the crock for sour dough starter. If she would be open to it maybe you could do a monthly moment with Monica sharing her favorite receipes. Your family are all so kind and authentic and we all love seeing you interact.
I like Monica, but I don't want to see this channel do a lot of cooking. It's a gardening channel. That's what I come here for.
I don’t blame you for the mail time stoping. ❤ I totally get it and think it a kind purposeful stop.
Thank you for explaining both ends of the growing zone spectrum.
When you and Aaron were trying to remember the original white fence situation, I wondered if you took before photos. Then I laughed and laughed and laughed some more...at myself. You both are amazing and work so hard at your gardens and life! You are the epitome of " love what you do and do what you love." Love your vids, educational and full of smiles. Thank you!
We beat Da Bears yesterday!!🧸🐻 Once you are a Vikings fan you are always a Vikings fan don't cha know!? 📯🦹♂️🍁🍂🧡 You can always come home!! ❤️🍁🍂🧡 Happy Birthday Aaron's Dad!!🎁🎈🎉🥳
I grew pumpkins this year for pie and they turned out fabulous just so happy that I did that will be doing it every year from now on!!! Thank You Laura you encourage us every day!
Don’t miss mail time 😁. Also, yes, pumpkin some squash and sweet potatoes & yams can frequently be substituted in baking certain items. One Thanksgiving, unexpected guests, stretched sweet potato casserole by using a can of pumpkin purée! I’m personally not a fan of either flavor, but, everyone else loved the dish!😂😋
The canned pumpkin doesn’t look like a jack’o lantern, it’s tan and oblong. Libby’s calls it a Dickinson pumpkin. My hubby grew up in the central sacramento valley when there were still canning facilities. He says they would gather up the fallen pumpkins along side the roads. Libby’s has a you tube on them, although apparently they are now grown and canned in Illinois.
Thank you for all you do for us fans. We love watching all you do. You should have reminded everyone that you have said in the past that you do not spend a lot of money on clothes, vacations, entertainment, etc.
They don't owe anyone any type of explaination at all.
@@ritasicari7518 Ditto! I'm actually offended for them when the money questions come. To a point I understand the question, but I'm not always sure of the reasoning behind the question.
So happy for Aaron to get away for a special weekend with his Dad...well deserved!
Seeing how you design your gardens and plant big trees is inspiring! I can't plant the big stuff, but it gives me an idea of how it will look eventually.
It shows that you work very hard doing what you do. Also, it shows that you love it. Hard work earns blessings. I think it's good that you have good sponsors. You've earned it. Plus, I'm very glad you are there and I found you. I've learned so much from you and your husband. My husband and I love working together in the yard. We were just going to maintain our yard. But, thanks to you we are digging up more lawn to plant more flowers and bushes. Thank you. May God continue to bless you.
What a sweet comment. I’m happy for you! I wish my husband liked working in the yard with me.
Laura & Aaron :
Sending you multitudes of blessings
🙏🇺🇸🦋🌹
Your videos help me so very much. Thank you both for your dedication. Your home looks amazing. I especially love your projects with your mom! God bless your family…
Dallas, Texas.
Good morning, I love your channels. And I don't miss your opening mail. I think everyone appreciates the thought behind it but we're here to enjoy your gardening expertise. Have an awesome weeka
The canned pumpkin you buy at the store is most often butternut squash. However, if you want a tasty pie, Pink Banana squash are excellent. They grow huge!
love your show.... learning alot... planning on filling in empty spots to make my little garden look forward. not a green thumb but going to try.. making list your family is so precious
Definitely the right decision about mail time 👍🏻. Love to see you out in the garden or doing recap videos, also so much enjoy the antique buying excursions with mom too. Hope Aaron has a wonderful time-nice to get away with your family. 😊
Most canned pumpkin is actually butternut squash. Check the ingredients on the cans!
