I’ve been following you for 9 years now, which makes one third of my life on earth. I haven’t missed a single video, I rewatch older videos regularly (and I don’t skip ads haha). Your content never fail to bring joy and comfort, I love that you stay away from any RUclips drama and politics, thank you for everything you are doing for people like me, sending huge thanks to you - Laura & Aaron - as well as Susan, Monica, Ken, Paul and Bethany and of course Benjamin and Samantha Grace who are so cute and the highlight of every video. You guys feel like a family to me. Bret from 🇮🇪
I’m with you on that one man. I haven’t missed a video in years, and I objectively feel as if this is one of the best channels on RUclips. The content is both positive and informative, and this community is beyond supportive.
You do such a good job incorporating your sponsor material into your videos that is feels sincere and not like an in your face commercial. There are some channels that I used to follow that I have quit following because they are so annoying and insincere and don't even begin to ring true to the channel content. I'm glad yours blend right in with your regular content so you barely notice that they are a "commercial".
The tag has great information. But Laura always gets into the details about cutting them back. I would have never known if it was not for her telling us. I always think oh so drastic. But she makes it seem like its a great thing for the plant. You do not get that information from a tag! Yes I agree about his idea lol :)
I use the fabric hose outside, Zone 6. It does hold up for a year at least if you don’t keep stretching it beyond its length, and you don’t let your husband use it. 😎
I love my fabric hose. Mine is outside. I've been there for a year. I do live in Santa Barbara so I'm milder climate but my favorite hose that I've ever had and I've had a lot
I also use a fabric hose outside, zone 6B. I bring it inside my garage or shed in the winter but otherwise it is stored outside throughout the season. I've had mine for over a year. I don't have gravel though, but I do have concrete sidewalks and driveways that I pull it across. I love it!
"Keep an open mind because you have things to learn." - Laura from Garden Answer. Couldn't have been said better by the online psychologists and pundits. Another great insight from a video was Laura's mom (I know she has a name but I consider her "mom") -- "romance the ordinary." I tend to get a negative and critical attitude from media, but it really is important to consider the value of positivity and beauty in daily life. Thank you, GA, for your life lessons. 😊
I don’t think I would worry about Facebook so much. Those of us that follow your videos know exactly how to find you and will be loyal because your videos are way better than most. Heck... yours are the only one I like & follow😮. So just keep on doing what you do best and we’ll keep coming back for more.😅 Love your channel ❤🌸🌲
You two are in such sync with each other. That is a true marriage. It is incredibly difficult to work, play, and live together, but you make it work. ❤ When Aaron said "but now you have 5 other fabrics to use" instead of being negative and you Laura said "you get me" I just melted! 😅 love you guys!!!❤❤❤
Yeah, when he's talking about the Sponsors etc and she's saying 'uh huh, uh huh' after each of his statements like she's ready for the next question 😻😻😉.
The water from your dehumidifier would be great to water your plants from overhead since it's soft water! No hard water marks or build up on plants etc. :)
I water my flowers too with the water from the dehumidifier. I read not to put it on veg/fruit types of plants because of any bacterium(s) that might be in it from the air. With the drought that is eating it's way east, my flowers loved any extra water I could give them.
If you watch a bunch of videos that have a different theme (i.e. skydiving), RUclips will start the feed off with skydiving next time you open it. If you watch a bunch of garden answer videos and nothing else, it should always give you garden answer when you open up RUclips. At least that's how it works for me.
I love hearing about the short dating and engagement stories! My hubs and I started dating March 9th and engaged March 25th and married on September 18th. We’ve been married for 30 years now…WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW! Love your channel!
I have to confirm your sponsor content is not annoying. I’ve been annoyed with ads and sponsored content on other channels, but not yours. So great job with all your meticulous thought and planning Aaron!! Job well done.
SO glad to hear about Benjamin and school! Was really wanting to ask but … privacy. I just wanted to know if he liked it or groaned each and every morning. That’s great! I have always pictured him as going to be a pro at the school stuff!
Love watching you every morning! My husband and I are in the process of building our new garden space on our property. We recently moved here and are starting from scratch. You are such an inspiration!!!
I love the idea at the end of this video for a new video listing the time of year and height to prune shrubs back to! That would be soooo helpful. Thanks
The fabric hoses do great outside. I've had several in multiple place on my property for 4 years. The key to their longevity is not leaving them under pressure when you are done with it - drain the water out. They do not work great with sprinklers but are perfect for watering anything by hand. No issues dragging over rock or around sharper corners.
I love fabric hoses too. They work for outside just fine, but store in a garage during snow season. The reason they don't generally work well with sprinklers is because the hose contracts quickly when the water flow is stopped. The sprinkler will be pulled quickly and may do some damage, so turning off the water may require planning. The manufacturers know about the problem and have tried to solve it. I know one gardener who has found a compatible cloth hose and sprinkler that works and doesn't move when the water stops,. So it's doable, just requires research.
It has snowed all night, all day yesterday here in Michigan! I mean, it’s the 18th of March already!! C’mon Mother Nature! We got things to do! Plants, flowers! Etc! Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! 😊♥️
I’m in Phoenix Arizona 9B, and I have to say I never thought I’d want it to hurry up and get warmer! It’s been a chilly and rainy winter. My plants are loving it but I worry it’ll go from the 60’s right to the 90’s 😱
i've been following you since 2014 first on facebook, and got hooked on succulent instantly....i always like plants, but clueless on how to grow one so, after watching you for years, i kinda knows how to now....thank you for the knowledge you've shared all these years laura.....^^.......and to think we came from different climate even country......it's amazing how you can teach us in such a way.....and i'm in tropical climate btw, indonesia in fact...that's how far your knowledge can reach laura.....amazing really....thank you again.
YES! Thank you Aaron, I would love a guide on how far to cut down my perennials. I am always thinking of Laura when I do trimming and questioning if I am doing it correct. If you could hear how many times I tell my husband "No, Laura does it this way!
Oh my 2 am! I can barely make it until 9pm. If I sit down, I'm done. I wake up at 4am even though my alarm is set for 5am. We are self employed as well so bravo to you both for doing what you love and provide us all with amazing content to enjoy and learn from! Love watching! Btw, those hoses do hold up quite well outside. I used it in a red quartz rock bed and drug it all over. Got two years of good life out of that house with no leaks. You can find them at any box store as well.
I’ve had 2 outside and each has gotten small holes. They get drug across bark and cement, but it does say to pick them up and not to drag them, so my fault.
I think my daughter has one she uses outside and I am thinking of getting a couple. I have the old stiff kind that I connect to reach all of my half acre and it’s just getting too cumbersome and heavy for me as I get older. Time to go shopping!
On the expanding fabric hose ... You can use them outside. They work great. All you need to make sure you do is not leave if full of water and store it properly in the winter. I have had mine for over 5 yrs and love them. I'm zone 5b and have zero issues pulling them around my front and backyard. Just like anything else if you take care of it properly it will last.
I love Aaron's idea of making a video about how far to cut back plants. I'm scared to cut back any of my plants because I have no idea if you do that to all perennials or just some and how far to cut them back. I was cutting my roses back so low that they would only grow a foot tall and now I'm hesitant too touch them.
I would concur that in the past month I am not getting notified of your videos regularly and I have to look for you. I often see the Facebook posts but if you stopped posting there I know I can find you on RUclips. Happy Spring. We finally had warm weather this weekend in Calgary (62ish). The warm sunshine feels so good.
I would let people know on Facebook that you will not be putting new content on and instead visit you on youtube. Facebook has turned into something else entirely. I got off Facebook and started watching you on RUclips and am sooo happy I did that! Fans of GA will follow you!💚🙏🏻
I learn a lot from your videos and you both are excellent presenters and easy to listen to. You incorporate you sponsors so effortlessly and I usually seek out their products. Thanks for your great videos!
I just had to share - I’ve been taking a master gardener class (it’s more like gardening 101) and most of what they teach us I learned from you long ago! Thank you for sharing so much knowledge. We’re absorbing it even when we (I) don’t realize. ❤
The recaps you do are so great! It's wonderful to listen to you and Aaron rehash the week. The relationship you have is awesome and I see and feel the love and respect you have for each other. Was totally entertained by every video this week especially the one with Samantha 'helping mom'. She is a mini Laura and so sweet.
I have used those fabric, shrink hoses for years. Outside only. Summer and winter to water my horse and flower beds in summer. Brass fittings are the way to go.
Hey guys another great start to a Sunday morning. It's only one in the morning so I haven't even gone to sleep yet, so it'll be a bit before I do anything in the garden. I'm in Hawaii Zone 12, it's mid 80s, very different than what you endure. I especially enjoyed the Samantha Grace helper video this week even though she slowed your progress. My other favorite is the shopping trip with your Mom and sister. I find those so fascinating to watch. On these Sundays it is quite fun to watch the interaction between you two. You make such a solid team. 👏🤩💝
I have been watching GA since the beginning and I have to agree that you do a fantastic job with sponsorships! Thank you for all that you do and have done for all of us! ❤
In the last few weeks your videos are not appearing on my feed, yet I've watch them every day and have turned on notifications, I just go to your channel and find the latest one and watch from there.
Greetings, Laura and Aaron, from Windermere Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 Thanks for visiting ME again 🍩☕️ I thoroughly enjoy hearing you two as I get my Sunday breakfast ready. ❤ We woke up to a chilly 59°F and a few drops of rain 🌧, but clearing should be in the 70's and sunny 🌞 Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍💗 ❤Peggy❤
So glad you guys talked about the strength of the grow lights on this video. I have had my grow light system for six years now. I inherited it from a friend who was downsizing, so I don’t know how long she had used them. This is the first year I have noticed all my seedlings, no matter how close I have the light to them, are very leggy. I think it’s time to swap out the bulbs for fresh ones! Very timely video!
I love that Laura calls the next town to the north “Baker” and not “Baker City”. I’m from that area - 3rd generation actually. It has changed between those two names a couple of times (1910 they went from Baker City to Baker. And that’s still how I think if it. Then in 1989 they changed it back to Baker City). It’s a small detail, but one that I notice.
I’ve been following you guys along time. The little bell always lets me know when you’re videos are on. I don’t think RUclips is hiding anything from me . But I’m in scotland 🏴 so don’t know if it’s different for the rest of the world 🌎. Xxxxx
I enjoyed my Sunday morning recap video. Thank you for all your hard work. I started watching your videos when you still lived in your townhouse and I plan on watching as long as you make them. Have a blessed day
Oh please keep posting to Facebook. Your older fans aren't on a lot of different media so hope keep forging ahead because that's my cue to see what's new with y'all. Love, love love your videos. Garden Answer RULES!
I'm subscribed to a wide array of you tube channels/content, homesteading gardening, knitting, spinning, animal rescue, and mechanical repair. My recommendations change almost daily. If I want to find specifics I scroll down to my subscriptions and select the channel I want to watch. It will highlight the channels with new posts.
I find your videos everyday but sometimes it is in a different part of my lists. I have never been unsubscribed from Garden Answers. As far as Facebook… it leads people to your RUclips channel so that part is good.
the videos have posted late a couple of times in the past week or so. I think it was just two of them, but they showed up in my subscription feed at 8am instead of 6am
I always used to watch you on FB but when you started having problems with the music issue, I made a point of watching on YT instead. I want to do whatever helps you! If that means “liking” you on both platforms, I’d be happy to do that 😊
I’d like to comment that I appreciate the real time trials of the proven winners new introductions. I garden in Atlanta 7b. I think most gardeners can understand that not every thing you plant in your climate, soil, and latitude will perform identically in another location. You reiterate that local nurseries and garden centers will have done that research for you. I’m a researcher professionally, and we rely on other’s research to advance our own. No one could possibly be an expert in every field. The trick to success is being able to glean useful information from other’s work. As someone else has commented, your promotional content does not feel contrived or unreasonable for a home gardener. Keep up the good work 😊.
Here in zone 6b on the North Shore of MA it is 33 degrees and windy! Spring weather can’t come soon enough! I enjoy all of your videos and the recaps you do together are always fun to watch. Thanks Laura and Aaron for all your hard work!
My daffodils have already come up and finished blooming. We have had unusual cool wet weather here in California and it was definitely too early for them to do that. I have already started some seeds inside only because I’ve been watching you do the same Laura. Every year I say I’m going to hold back on how much I seed and plant and every year I end up doing more 😂 I just can’t help myself. It’s usually in the middle of summer that I say this but by spring I’m ready to get out there and garden! Also, I always see your video pop up for me. I can’t say the same for every channel I follow.
We use a cloth hose and use it outside. Keep it in the garage. Last a couple of years before we need to replace it. And we have a gravel driveway. Love these hoses! Also I just bought my first heat mat. My husband says “where did you hear about this... my answer “Laura from Garden Answer uses them to do seed starting”
Because of age, back issues and arthritis, I have used flexible hoses for years and store them in the basement for winter,. I have one at each of my outdoor faucets and as soon as I am done using it, I drain to extend the life and toss it into a decorative pot.. I have only ever had to replace one of them over the past five years . They have been a game changer.
Laura - I can speak to the fabric hose because I had one last year, and you're right, it was a dream to use. So light and flexible, I loved it! But you are also right about not using it outside because it's just not sturdy enough to take the beating it gets dragging it around. Dang it. I'd love to get a Hoselink but I need a longer hose to get around the house to water. So, yeah, I drag hoses too.
I keep a five gallon bucke with a lid under the faucet and put the hose in it. I have 3 faucets on house, so I don't have to drag hoses too far. I can reach all points on my acre lot with a hose. I would not like to go back to a regular hose ever!
I live in SC. You stated you had never seen a live cardinal. My yard is full of them. I think it would be interesting if you did a video of your bird feeder. It never occurred to me that each state is blessed with different birds. Our cardinals and blue birds I assumed were everywhere and yet I knew better.
I've been watching your videos for 9 and 1/2 years. I have a hose like yours in the Hartley. I've had it for a year. I live in Santa Barbara, California milder climate but it's lasted outside for an entire year and it still looks great and it is my favorite hose. I got another one for the backyard❤❤❤
Thankfully, GA is the first on my feed in the mornings every morning. If something interrupts my reg watching schedule and I can't watch for a few days, the daily video may be pushed down a bit, but otherwise, it's always there. Yeah!
I use the fabric hoses outside on my patio, in my greenhouse, etc… because it’s just so nice to be able to tuck it away. It does spring holes at least once a year and I don’t even care. It’s fairly inexpensive but it’s so worth it to me. You just have to know that going in or you won’t be happy with it.
I actually have a collapsable hose that I do use outside. I use it just around my patio, so it is not rough conditions and I do put it in the garage over the winter. I've had my current one 3 years now. There are some that a really cheaper and flimsy and others that are a little thicker. I love mine as well.
Hey darlings 😊!! Love the 2 of you and your team (especially Ken, funny guy ❤)!! I've been using the expandable hoses for 7 years now. Don't leave them outside in the winter and you'll be fine!! In the summer, I put them in a basket or a pretty planter ( in direct sun even) they hold up unless you allow them to freeze and thaw with water in them. I even hang them on trees throughout our yard, making it easier to water 5 acres. Mine have valves on both ends, making it easy to hook them up as water is in one hose and then the next. They are lightweight, making it easy to carry around compared to the traditional rubber hoses. Therefore, making the job easier and faster. No it is not an interior hose only!! Mine is outside all summer in the sun!! They can be repaired just like the rubber ones. I have done it. Look up expandable hoses. They even come in different colors. They hold up to being drug across gravel and crushed granite (we have crushed granite on our driveway). I drag them across the driveway (huge driveway) often. They are not recommended for pressure washers that I know of. We have a business in which we have a huge garage. My husband even kept one that I used to replace a traditional rubber hose with. We change it out with the rubber one when the pressure washer is used. Please revise your info on this because it made a world of difference for me, at home, and at work!!!!!
Hey guys, regarding the cloth hose - I've had it for a few years and we use it outside as a regular garden hose.This summer will be the 4th season. I guess it would wear off more if used on pavement and stuff, ours is mostly over grass. It stays outside all summer until water is turned off, then stored in garage.
RUclips does hide videos that I always watch. Garden Answer, Gardening with Creekside, Impatient Gardener, FlowerHill Farm, and Mike Kincaid are my must see videos that I use to see in my feed. However,lately I have had to go searching for my favorite RUclipsrs.
I can finally relax about not knowing exact numbers of plants and where they will go when I start things up late winter/early spring. Thank you for reducing my stress Laura! While I do make lists, plan projects, and sketch out a general plan for our beds, there must be spontaneity in my garden process! :)
Hello, Sun Valley, CA here 😊 Love your videos!! I purchased that hose almost about 2yrs ago. It was like my 4th purchase of hoses and finally found that one and love it!! It’s light and doesn’t get tangled like traditional rubber ones. I have a cemented front yard w raised planting beds and I have potted plants around too. It has done quite well w our hot weather here. It stays out all day everyday with only couple hours of filtered shade. Do be very careful if you have any Cati 😮 I have a medium size one and didn’t realize I came too close to it and it punctured it lol. I’ll have to purchase another soon because that lil leak always seems to get me 😅 💧 Take care of your lovely family ❤ 👋 🌻
FYI Aaron, I have 2 pocket hoses that I use outdoors in MN during the summer. This will be my 4th year for one and hopefully 3rd year for the other. Love them! Such a game changer for watering my plants. I did replace one over the last 4 years. Would be willing to buy new every year if I have to, they are that convenient!!!! ♥️your show!
For FB and You Tube, I definitely have trouble getting notifications. Several years ago, you did a video on adding gypsum to clay soil. I got hit with warnings when I replied with a general thank you because I've got a mix of clay. It was silly. I tried to reword it and then they accused me of being a spammer. I'm on different garden pages but y'alls page is my favorite. On the flipside, Facebook is where I like to watch it while sitting drinking morning coffee and it's just an easier to scroll and have the notifications, if they didn't mess with things. Y'all can't control that. If you go missing for a few days, then I go directly to your page.......Anyways, thanks for the videos and look forward to them however I have to find them.
I agree about searching for your channel in the morning. I thought maybe it was just my chromebook but apparently not. No reminders either, Boo I agree with Aaron about air plants, they look dead when they are new and look dead when they are dead. I just leave them sit wherever I've put them until I'm tired of looking at them and toss. IMO they are useless plants.
Just a tip for butterfly peas seeds, you should sand them after you soak them in water! Get the brown layer off (doesnt need to be completely off).Then they will sprout in a few days instead of 3 weeks. Love your videos and all that you and your family do. ❤
I’ve been following you for 9 years now, which makes one third of my life on earth. I haven’t missed a single video, I rewatch older videos regularly (and I don’t skip ads haha). Your content never fail to bring joy and comfort, I love that you stay away from any RUclips drama and politics, thank you for everything you are doing for people like me, sending huge thanks to you - Laura & Aaron - as well as Susan, Monica, Ken, Paul and Bethany and of course Benjamin and Samantha Grace who are so cute and the highlight of every video. You guys feel like a family to me. Bret from 🇮🇪
I agree 100%
Well said! I agree 100%
I’m with you on that one man. I haven’t missed a video in years, and I objectively feel as if this is one of the best channels on RUclips. The content is both positive and informative, and this community is beyond supportive.
Feel exactly the same way💗
I love rewatching their videos, especially in the long winter months.
Thank you for the response to the “are you expecting” question. It is such a personal question that people should not be asking!
People are nervy lol😅
You do such a good job incorporating your sponsor material into your videos that is feels sincere and not like an in your face commercial. There are some channels that I used to follow that I have quit following because they are so annoying and insincere and don't even begin to ring true to the channel content. I'm glad yours blend right in with your regular content so you barely notice that they are a "commercial".
Yes please! I love Aaron’s idea of a video on what height to cut back all shrubs!
The tag has great information. But Laura always gets into the details about cutting them back. I would have never known if it was not for her telling us. I always think oh so drastic. But she makes it seem like its a great thing for the plant. You do not get that information from a tag! Yes I agree about his idea lol :)
AND I about fell out of my chair when she answered my question!! Talk about a giddy girl moment haha
I use the fabric hose outside, Zone 6. It does hold up for a year at least if you don’t keep stretching it beyond its length, and you don’t let your husband use it. 😎

I love my fabric hose. Mine is outside. I've been there for a year. I do live in Santa Barbara so I'm milder climate but my favorite hose that I've ever had and I've had a lot
I also use a fabric hose outside, zone 6B. I bring it inside my garage or shed in the winter but otherwise it is stored outside throughout the season. I've had mine for over a year. I don't have gravel though, but I do have concrete sidewalks and driveways that I pull it across. I love it!

I quit watching MSM yrs ago, and my life is so much better for it.
I don’t think I would worry about Facebook so much. Those of us that follow your videos know exactly how to find you and will be loyal because your videos are way better than most. Heck... yours are the only one I like & follow😮. So just keep on doing what you do best and we’ll keep coming back for more.😅 Love your channel ❤🌸🌲
You two are in such sync with each other. That is a true marriage. It is incredibly difficult to work, play, and live together, but you make it work. ❤
When Aaron said "but now you have 5 other fabrics to use" instead of being negative and you Laura said "you get me" I just melted! 😅 love you guys!!!❤❤❤
Laura seems like a get to the point kinda gal, and Aaron loves the details. A nice balance ❤️
Yeah, when he's talking about the Sponsors etc and she's saying 'uh huh, uh huh' after each of his statements like she's ready for the next question 😻😻😉.
The water from your dehumidifier would be great to water your plants from overhead since it's soft water! No hard water marks or build up on plants etc. :)
In the summer I pour the dehumidifier water in my fountain to replace the water that evaporated from the day before.
That is exactly what I do with my dehumidifier water. Because my tap water is soft water. 😉
That’s a great idea!
@@terrihart2133 tap water usually contains bleach, fluoride etc. that's not good for your plants or your own body unless you have a filter or a well.
I water my flowers too with the water from the dehumidifier. I read not to put it on veg/fruit types of plants because of any bacterium(s) that might be in it from the air. With the drought that is eating it's way east, my flowers loved any extra water I could give them.
I agree with You Tube hiding or delaying Garden Answer videos. I've had to "look" for them lately, whereas before they were first in my list.
Same here! I have had to look for them as well! (Missouri)
If you watch a bunch of videos that have a different theme (i.e. skydiving), RUclips will start the feed off with skydiving next time you open it. If you watch a bunch of garden answer videos and nothing else, it should always give you garden answer when you open up RUclips. At least that's how it works for me.

Love watching you every morning! My husband and I are in the process of building our new garden space on our property. We recently moved here and are starting from scratch. You are such an inspiration!!!
Aaron is hilarious about his take on the air plants, and your "Oh Aaron"! This makes the channel so real and relatable!
Aaron, You do a GREAT job of integrating the sponsors in a way that makes sense!
I love the idea at the end of this video for a new video listing the time of year and height to prune shrubs back to! That would be soooo helpful. Thanks

I love Aaron's idea about telling us how low to cut plants. It really helps a lot. Thanks y'all. Love your babies and cats!
It has snowed all night, all day yesterday here in Michigan! I mean, it’s the 18th of March already!! C’mon Mother Nature! We got things to do! Plants, flowers! Etc! Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! 😊♥️
Very hard freeze last night, got fruit trees, everything it could 23 degrees right now and it's 11 am. I'm sad. Here in northeastern Oklahoma 😢
I feel your pain! I live near Lake Erie and we got lake effect snow all weekend. Ugh! So ready for spring!
I’m in Phoenix Arizona 9B, and I have to say I never thought I’d want it to hurry up and get warmer! It’s been a chilly and rainy winter. My plants are loving it but I worry it’ll go from the 60’s right to the 90’s 😱

I also use my flexible hoses outside. Having a lightweight hose is worth it even it you have to replace them every couple years.
I think my daughter has one she uses outside and I am thinking of getting a couple. I have the old stiff kind that I connect to reach all of my half acre and it’s just getting too cumbersome and heavy for me as I get older. Time to go shopping!
I've used a cloth hose like yours, outside for several years---so much easier to control! The one I'm using this spring is on its 4th (I know!) year!
You both compliment each other so well. The Lord is the best match maker ☺️❤️🙌
It's such a huge blessing to see you two interact with one another, Laura & Aaron. It just starts Sunday off with JOY.
Aaron. “..Don’t water them. Let them die and they will look exactly the same.” Me Lol😂 you guys crack me up!
😂😂
😂
NOT, air plants have a place in the world :) think rain forest
I know. Then it will say, 30 minutes ago or something. But I keep looking. It starts my day with joy.
"When you know, you know." AMEN, Aaron! 👍
I think it's totally cool you make your living doing this.
On the expanding fabric hose ...
You can use them outside. They work great. All you need to make sure you do is not leave if full of water and store it properly in the winter. I have had mine for over 5 yrs and love them.
I'm zone 5b and have zero issues pulling them around my front and backyard. Just like anything else if you take care of it properly it will last.
You guys are amazing. I’m in the hospital & im grateful to have you guys.
I love Aaron's idea of making a video about how far to cut back plants. I'm scared to cut back any of my plants because I have no idea if you do that to all perennials or just some and how far to cut them back. I was cutting my roses back so low that they would only grow a foot tall and now I'm hesitant too touch them.
I would concur that in the past month I am not getting notified of your videos regularly and I have to look for you. I often see the Facebook posts but if you stopped posting there I know I can find you on RUclips.
Happy Spring. We finally had warm weather this weekend in Calgary (62ish). The warm sunshine feels so good.
I love the idea of showing a photo of A shrub and pruning. Wonderful video.
I have a fabric hose outside that has lasted two summers!! I love it. I drag it all over the place. I got mine at Home Depot.
I would let people know on Facebook that you will not be putting new content on and instead visit you on youtube. Facebook has turned into something else entirely. I got off Facebook and started watching you on RUclips and am sooo happy I did that! Fans of GA will follow you!💚🙏🏻
The soft hoses are usable outside, I had my first one at least 2 years before the inside rubber burst. Love it!
I learn a lot from your videos and you both are excellent presenters and easy to listen to. You incorporate you sponsors so effortlessly and I usually seek out their products. Thanks for your great videos!
please dont ever change.....dont let anyone convince you to let them produce you. you are authentic and real. you guys know how to do it.
Sunday morning coffee & Garden Answer with Laura & Aaron - perfect start to my day!
I just had to share - I’ve been taking a master gardener class (it’s more like gardening 101) and most of what they teach us I learned from you long ago! Thank you for sharing so much knowledge. We’re absorbing it even when we (I) don’t realize. ❤
The recaps you do are so great! It's wonderful to listen to you and Aaron rehash the week. The relationship you have is awesome and I see and feel the love and respect you have for each other. Was totally entertained by every video this week especially the one with Samantha 'helping mom'. She is a mini Laura and so sweet.
Laura, I so agree! Sometimes, Chaos is best! You gotta kind of go with the flow that real life throws at you.
I have used those fabric, shrink hoses for years. Outside only. Summer and winter to water my horse and flower beds in summer. Brass fittings are the way to go.
Hey guys another great start to a Sunday morning. It's only one in the morning so I haven't even gone to sleep yet, so it'll be a bit before I do anything in the garden. I'm in Hawaii Zone 12, it's mid 80s, very different than what you endure. I especially enjoyed the Samantha Grace helper video this week even though she slowed your progress. My other favorite is the shopping trip with your Mom and sister. I find those so fascinating to watch. On these Sundays it is quite fun to watch the interaction between you two. You make such a solid team. 👏🤩💝
I have been watching GA since the beginning and I have to agree that you do a fantastic job with sponsorships! Thank you for all that you do and have done for all of us! ❤
I watch several different channels on YT, and yet every morning, GA is the very first one that shows on feed. ❤
Same!
In the last few weeks your videos are not appearing on my feed, yet I've watch them every day and have turned on notifications, I just go to your channel and find the latest one and watch from there.
All your videos always pop up timely for me. Makes my morning coffee break so enjoyable!
Greetings, Laura and Aaron, from Windermere Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
Thanks for visiting ME again 🍩☕️
I thoroughly enjoy hearing you two as I get my Sunday breakfast ready. ❤
We woke up to a chilly 59°F and a few drops of rain 🌧, but clearing should be in the 70's and sunny 🌞
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍💗
❤Peggy❤
I used the fabric hose for 1-2 years outdoors. But, we don’t have gravel that it could snag on. I loved it-so easy to get out and put it away.
So glad you guys talked about the strength of the grow lights on this video. I have had my grow light system for six years now. I inherited it from a friend who was downsizing, so I don’t know how long she had used them. This is the first year I have noticed all my seedlings, no matter how close I have the light to them, are very leggy. I think it’s time to swap out the bulbs for fresh ones! Very timely video!
I love that Laura calls the next town to the north “Baker” and not “Baker City”. I’m from that area - 3rd generation actually. It has changed between those two names a couple of times (1910 they went from Baker City to Baker. And that’s still how I think if it. Then in 1989 they changed it back to Baker City). It’s a small detail, but one that I notice.
I’ve been following you guys along time.
The little bell always lets me know when you’re videos are on.
I don’t think RUclips is hiding anything from me .
But I’m in scotland 🏴 so don’t know if it’s different for the rest of the world 🌎.
Xxxxx
I enjoyed my Sunday morning recap video. Thank you for all your hard work. I started watching your videos when you still lived in your townhouse and I plan on watching as long as you make them. Have a blessed day
Oh please keep posting to Facebook. Your older fans aren't on a lot of different media so hope keep forging ahead because that's my cue to see what's new with y'all. Love, love love your videos. Garden Answer RULES!
I receive Garden Answer notifications everytime you upload.
Good Sunday morning 💚🌷🌼☀️🍄
Good morning!
The bell on YT always works for me. I get a notification every time immediately after upload.
I didn't hear any noise from the dehumidifier. In fact I never hear any of the background noises people worry about. Carry on! You guys are awesome.
I'm subscribed to a wide array of you tube channels/content, homesteading gardening, knitting, spinning, animal rescue, and mechanical repair. My recommendations change almost daily. If I want to find specifics I scroll down to my subscriptions and select the channel I want to watch. It will highlight the channels with new posts.
I find your videos everyday but sometimes it is in a different part of my lists. I have never been unsubscribed from Garden Answers. As far as Facebook… it leads people to your RUclips channel so that part is good.
the videos have posted late a couple of times in the past week or so. I think it was just two of them, but they showed up in my subscription feed at 8am instead of 6am
I always used to watch you on FB but when you started having problems with the music issue, I made a point of watching on YT instead. I want to do whatever helps you! If that means “liking” you on both platforms, I’d be happy to do that 😊
I’d like to comment that I appreciate the real time trials of the proven winners new introductions. I garden in Atlanta 7b. I think most gardeners can understand that not every thing you plant in your climate, soil, and latitude will perform identically in another location. You reiterate that local nurseries and garden centers will have done that research for you.
I’m a researcher professionally, and we rely on other’s research to advance our own. No one could possibly be an expert in every field. The trick to success is being able to glean useful information from other’s work. As someone else has commented, your promotional content does not feel contrived or unreasonable for a home gardener. Keep up the good work 😊.
Here in zone 6b on the North Shore of MA it is 33 degrees and windy! Spring weather can’t come soon enough! I enjoy all of your videos and the recaps you do together are always fun to watch. Thanks Laura and Aaron for all your hard work!
My daffodils have already come up and finished blooming. We have had unusual cool wet weather here in California and it was definitely too early for them to do that. I have already started some seeds inside only because I’ve been watching you do the same Laura. Every year I say I’m going to hold back on how much I seed and plant and every year I end up doing more 😂 I just can’t help myself. It’s usually in the middle of summer that I say this but by spring I’m ready to get out there and garden! Also, I always see your video pop up for me. I can’t say the same for every channel I follow.
We use a cloth hose and use it outside. Keep it in the garage. Last a couple of years before we need to replace it. And we have a gravel driveway. Love these hoses! Also I just bought my first heat mat. My husband says “where did you hear about this... my answer “Laura from Garden Answer uses them to do seed starting”
Because of age, back issues and arthritis, I have used flexible hoses for years and store them in the basement for winter,. I have one at each of my outdoor faucets and as soon as I am done using it, I drain to extend the life and toss it into a decorative pot.. I have only ever had to replace one of them over the past five years . They have been a game changer.
I’ve been following your channel since 2014!!! I subscribed when you had less than 100 followers! This channel brings me so much peace and joy!
I use the fabric hoses in my garden because they are light weight. I replace them about every 2 years . Love them
Laura - I can speak to the fabric hose because I had one last year, and you're right, it was a dream to use. So light and flexible, I loved it! But you are also right about not using it outside because it's just not sturdy enough to take the beating it gets dragging it around. Dang it. I'd love to get a Hoselink but I need a longer hose to get around the house to water. So, yeah, I drag hoses too.
I keep a five gallon bucke with a lid under the faucet and put the hose in it. I have 3 faucets on house, so I don't have to drag hoses too far. I can reach all points on my acre lot with a hose. I would not like to go back to a regular hose ever!
Thanks for sharing the story of your house!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day 🥰
Knowing what shrubs flower on woody or new growth would be SO helpful when you do the shrub session. As always. a joy to watch.🙂
Ahhh... My Sunday morning is complete! Thanks to you both for all you do to make your viewers more integrated in your processes.
I have one of the flexi hoses outside and it has been great for a couple years. Exposed to bright sun and dragged around the yard on a regular basis 😊
Such a lovely recap! The best was Samantha Grace saying "Hey, guys" into the camera.
I love the fabrics you chose Laura.
I live in SC. You stated you had never seen a live cardinal. My yard is full of them. I think it would be interesting if you did a video of your bird feeder. It never occurred to me that each state is blessed with different birds. Our cardinals and blue birds I assumed were everywhere and yet I knew better.
I've been watching your videos for 9 and 1/2 years. I have a hose like yours in the Hartley. I've had it for a year. I live in Santa Barbara, California milder climate but it's lasted outside for an entire year and it still looks great and it is my favorite hose. I got another one for the backyard❤❤❤
Yes, to a video on when and how far down to cut perennial shrubs and bushes.
Thankfully, GA is the first on my feed in the mornings every morning. If something interrupts my reg watching schedule and I can't watch for a few days, the daily video may be pushed down a bit, but otherwise, it's always there. Yeah!
I use the fabric hoses outside on my patio, in my greenhouse, etc… because it’s just so nice to be able to tuck it away. It does spring holes at least once a year and I don’t even care. It’s fairly inexpensive but it’s so worth it to me. You just have to know that going in or you won’t be happy with it.
I actually have a collapsable hose that I do use outside. I use it just around my patio, so it is not rough conditions and I do put it in the garage over the winter. I've had my current one 3 years now. There are some that a really cheaper and flimsy and others that are a little thicker. I love mine as well.
Hey darlings 😊!! Love the 2 of you and your team (especially Ken, funny guy ❤)!! I've been using the expandable hoses for 7 years now. Don't leave them outside in the winter and you'll be fine!! In the summer, I put them in a basket or a pretty planter ( in direct sun even) they hold up unless you allow them to freeze and thaw with water in them. I even hang them on trees throughout our yard, making it easier to water 5 acres. Mine have valves on both ends, making it easy to hook them up as water is in one hose and then the next. They are lightweight, making it easy to carry around compared to the traditional rubber hoses. Therefore, making the job easier and faster. No it is not an interior hose only!! Mine is outside all summer in the sun!! They can be repaired just like the rubber ones. I have done it. Look up expandable hoses. They even come in different colors. They hold up to being drug across gravel and crushed granite (we have crushed granite on our driveway). I drag them across the driveway (huge driveway) often. They are not recommended for pressure washers that I know of. We have a business in which we have a huge garage. My husband even kept one that I used to replace a traditional rubber hose with. We change it out with the rubber one when the pressure washer is used. Please revise your info on this because it made a world of difference for me, at home, and at work!!!!!
Hey guys, regarding the cloth hose - I've had it for a few years and we use it outside as a regular garden hose.This summer will be the 4th season. I guess it would wear off more if used on pavement and stuff, ours is mostly over grass. It stays outside all summer until water is turned off, then stored in garage.
RUclips does hide videos that I always watch. Garden Answer, Gardening with Creekside, Impatient Gardener, FlowerHill Farm, and Mike Kincaid are my must see videos that I use to see in my feed. However,lately I have had to go searching for my favorite RUclipsrs.
I’ve used those hoses outside for 3 years now. I leave them out in the sun and drag them around over gravel. They are still going strong!
I can finally relax about not knowing exact numbers of plants and where they will go when I start things up late winter/early spring. Thank you for reducing my stress Laura! While I do make lists, plan projects, and sketch out a general plan for our beds, there must be spontaneity in my garden process! :)
Hello, Sun Valley, CA here 😊 Love your videos!! I purchased that hose almost about 2yrs ago. It was like my 4th purchase of hoses and finally found that one and love it!! It’s light and doesn’t get tangled like traditional rubber ones. I have a cemented front yard w raised planting beds and I have potted plants around too. It has done quite well w our hot weather here. It stays out all day everyday with only couple hours of filtered shade. Do be very careful if you have any Cati 😮 I have a medium size one and didn’t realize I came too close to it and it punctured it lol. I’ll have to purchase another soon because that lil leak always seems to get me 😅 💧 Take care of your lovely family ❤ 👋 🌻
FYI Aaron, I have 2 pocket hoses that I use outdoors in MN during the summer. This will be my 4th year for one and hopefully 3rd year for the other. Love them! Such a game changer for watering my plants. I did replace one over the last 4 years. Would be willing to buy new every year if I have to, they are that convenient!!!! ♥️your show!
For FB and You Tube, I definitely have trouble getting notifications. Several years ago, you did a video on adding gypsum to clay soil. I got hit with warnings when I replied with a general thank you because I've got a mix of clay. It was silly. I tried to reword it and then they accused me of being a spammer. I'm on different garden pages but y'alls page is my favorite. On the flipside, Facebook is where I like to watch it while sitting drinking morning coffee and it's just an easier to scroll and have the notifications, if they didn't mess with things. Y'all can't control that. If you go missing for a few days, then I go directly to your page.......Anyways, thanks for the videos and look forward to them however I have to find them.
It's cold here too, in Southern New Mexico. We are getting a real spring!!
I agree about searching for your channel in the morning. I thought maybe it was just my chromebook but apparently not. No reminders either, Boo I agree with Aaron about air plants, they look dead when they are new and look dead when they are dead. I just leave them sit wherever I've put them until I'm tired of looking at them and toss. IMO they are useless plants.
I have a hose similar to the one you use in the Hartley. I've used it outside for several years with no problems.
I've used pocket hoses outside for years. They work pretty good. Some are better than others. They don't get brittle in the heat, either.
Just a tip for butterfly peas seeds, you should sand them after you soak them in water! Get the brown layer off (doesnt need to be completely off).Then they will sprout in a few days instead of 3 weeks. Love your videos and all that you and your family do. ❤
