Here I am, in 2021. A lot has changed, now you have a family, two cats and more projects to do. RUclips seems like a time machine and I'm not complaining. 😀 💜
I'm not the type of girl to be emotional in public places but when I saw your video about Dexter, I was on my break at work and I just could not help but cry.. and of course it happened again when you showed the newest member of the family. You know you are apart of my family! I really love your videos! Thanks for sharing your life with us, teaching us so many things and creating/reigniting the passion we all share for pretty flowers. You're such a great girl. I wish you and your family all the best sweetheart. xoxox -Maria from Michigan :)
That little kitty has a strong purr! There is something special about orange cats. We had a litter of 3 orange male and 3 female kittens (one female was the female version of orange = calico). Each orange was a unique type with its own personality. May Russell live long and enjoy your family and your yard! Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Two years later and Russell still loves to get into everything. Your gardens are so different now too. Look how much you guys have accomplished in such a short amount of time.
Welcome Russell ! You are going to love your new home and especially your loving parents :) I have two cats and both were rescued. I used can of air ( compress) to " train" my kitties. It didn't take long and when they saw the can in my hand they would know not to do something. I never sprayed it directly on them - Today if they are jumping or doing something I just mouth the sound "pst" and they remember the air and stop misbehaving :) Enjoyed the video today.
Yay! So glad you chose a rescue pet! Yellow and with six toes, what a perk! He is precious and look forward to seeing him around in your future videos! Your place looks so beautiful with all the fall colored leaves! ♡♡
Thank you for adopting Russell. He is adorable. Argh! All those leaves! My ex used to use our Honda lawn mower with a bag. It mulched the leaves into tiny bits. He loved it because he was very serious about the lawn.
How can anyone thumb down any of your videos? I adore all of them and rewatch them throughout the season as needed to keep my plants in check. Keep it up! Love little Russel already!
So happy you were able to open your heart again and rescue this cutie! Maybe you can let him out and train him to come in at night. Enjoy the kitty period. They grow so fast!
We are incredibly happy for you, Aaron and Russell. I posted a pic of our new kitten, Jaxson on Facebook several weeks ago on your video about the loss of Dexter and I think they are all brothers from other mothers. Excited for you and Aaron for sure. Sending love from Vermont.
YAY!!! Russell is too cute for words... I'm very happy for the two of you. Russell has a wonderful life ahead of him with all the gardens and devoted loving parents. Much love!!!
Welcome, Russell! I can't wait to show this video to my daughter when she gets home from school today. We were both so sad when Dexter passed. She'll be happy to see you got a new kitty. :)
I know this is old but the animals love you so much and your family because you all have such a calm and warm spirit. I end every day watching your videos. I’ve learned a lot from you and you bring peace to the end of every day.
Once again, catching up on older videos I missed. Russell was so adorable as a baby! I don't find this kind of video boring at all. I love the "real life" feeling you bring. Gardening is hard work and not always glamorous but the work brings forth such beautiful results. It's nice to see the beauty but I enjoy seeing all the work it entails.
I been going back and watching later videos. I such loving following you. For me, adopting Russell was the high point of of the day. Your relationship with your critter family shows what a good souls you and Arron have. Love you.
Fun to see your video introducing your new kitty Russell, I’ve been binge watching all your videos and enjoy seeing Russell in them, he’s a lucky kitty to have such nice yard and garden to explore in. Thanks for all the great informative videos!
Huge tip: Saves time. Blow the leaves out of the flower beds then mow up the leaves. The lawn mower sheds the leaves. Next, pile it up. In spring you have compost. Garden gold.
CALife I saw them just mowing the leaves on the lawn. And raking the flower beds separately. What works fast is to blow the leaves, from the beds, onto the lawn first. Then mow the leaves into the mower bag. This eliminates raking the beds.
Am still missing Dexter. Glad that you could rescue Russell. I believe in adopting pets from shelters. I have had an affinity for yellow tom cats for 37 years since my first one. God Bless you and I am praying for a safe and easy delivery of your precious baby.
I actually really really enjoy your "clean-up" videos. It helps so much to learn what it takes to maintain different areas of the garden, especially when you did not grow up doing so. Thank you!
Such a cute kitty, he's lucky to have you two... as for all the leaves, they are nature's gold. Great in flower beds, and worm bedding & composting. Run them over with the mower and collect them. I hope you know at the bottom of the potato vines are potatoes. I missed mine last year, got 3 huge sweet potatoes out of one of my pots this year.
That was my Sunday, too...yard work! I realize I like fall clean up much better than spring clean up! Russell is super cute. My 16 year old cat loves to snuggle and sleeps in my arm (and across my chest) or sleeps on my pillow at night. Enjoy Russell..I hope he has a presence in your videos like Dexter.
Laura you may not believe me but these kinds of videos you posts are some of my most favorite videos you do!! So So enjoyable to see your property prosper and grow more beautiful each and every day!! YOU my dear are glowing in beauty as well!! :-)
ohhh we lost our 17y.o. cat Pika(orange tabby) on Christmas morning. We were so sad for months and months and finally adopted a 4 month old, all black kitty named Captain Jack. Well, honestly he adopted us, he made it very clear that he was going home with us from the shelter. He is exactly what God knew we needed.... a sweet little snuggle bug with an amazing personality. He is so playful and makes our 11 year old dog smile(Lucy really missed the cat and was very sad)! Hooray for new kitties!
I love watching old videos like this so we can see how different the garden beds look now! I definitely love that you took out the rose garden! Looks so much better with a bunch of lovely plants that give interest in every season!
You have such a wonderful soul. I can't find the words to describe what I feel every time I watch your videos. I love you and your family and I can't wait to see the baby. Needless to say that I love Russell as much as I loved Dexter. Kisses from me and my ball of fur Linda.
My Simba who passed away in 2011 was a 6 toed cat on all 4 paws. I believe they are referred to as Hemingway cats as well due to Hemingway having a house that was crowded with them (he loved cats). The cuddling will lessen as he gets older due to him being so young so enjoy it. Congrats and so glad you found him!
Russell is adorable, affectionate and mischievous. I love his loud purr that you could hear on the audio. I too have an affinity for orange kitties and he makes me want another!
Leaf envy over all of those leaves - mulch and compost. Russell is adorable. I met one cat with extra toes before but I didn't know it was for colder climates.
Russell!!!! Welcome to the Garden Answer Army!!!! When my husband heard yu say new member of the fam he came running in to see him! Soooo cuuute! I know he will be as well loved as our beloved Dexter. Go ahead and get that puppy now too,so all your babies can grow up together! #dontshopadopt
Russell is so sweet!! I can't wait to see more of his personality. Congrats on your new family member. Thank you for adopting your new pet, it is so important to give all these babies homes.
Not boring at all! And your new kitty is perfect, isn't he? Btw, I loved the carpet of colorful fall leaves. We don't get a ton of color here, so they looked really special to me. I do understand the need to keep them cleaned up, tho'.
Congratulations on your sweet little kitten😊. Vlog not boring at all- I’m new to gardening so I like seeing what you do in your garden as it helps me with my garden.
So happy about the cat for you guys!!! I was sad when I heard about Dexter. Have been watching your video's for some time and it felt like that i knew him. How wonderful that you found a new kitten! He is aboselutely adorable!! Wishing you all have a happy life together!! And thank you for making my day by sharing this news with us!!
Love your new addition. What an adorable kitty. My heart smiled when I saw he looked like Dexter. I love your videos. Thank you so much for not only sharing your knowledge but allowing us a glimpse into your life. Be assured that you and your family are truly loved by those who tune into your channel. Blessings to you all. 😊🌺
Not too boring - sort of encouraging, seeing how we all have a lot of work to do, it's good to know that we are all out there getting stuff done and having some fun as we work out in the autumn air. Your little Russell is such a great mix of frisky and snuggly - the BEST! Congratulations! Thanks for all your work putting videos out there even though you're so busy... And expecting! Which means work is even more challenging than usual. 🤗 ♥ 💕 Love what you do!
Watching this video has givien me the biggest smile I've had all day!! I'm so happy to see you've adopted Russell! He looks like a little love bug! I have a special place in my heart for orange kitties! He's a lucky boy to have found you! LOVE your videos, and I've learned so much from them. xo
Look how tiny Russell is!! I’m watching this in 2024 and boy has he grown up.Love watching Russell exploring in the plants.
Im also here in 2024 in june and I just found this,, I wondered how they got Russell.... he is thier dog.....lol
I'm here Sept. 2024
Here I am, in 2021. A lot has changed, now you have a family, two cats and more projects to do.
RUclips seems like a time machine and I'm not complaining. 😀 💜
I loved watching the introduction to Russell! What a sweetheart. ❤
Ahhhh--This popped up on my feed in Apr 2023. It is great to meet Russell when he joined the family. Can't imagine GA without him.
On my !! Russell is so adorable! ❤
Good for you! No kitty can replace Dexter but this little guy will fill a space of his own in your heart! Happy gardening!

Oh! Nice to meet Russell’s beginnings ♥️
I love going back and watching your old videos when I'm in the mood for more Laura/gardening. Seeing this is when you got Russell. Adorable!
And hasn't Russell turned out to be a wonderful garden buddy!! such a cutie.
Hello Laura
So cute to see Russell as a kitten. He is super GORGEOUS. He loves following you around too💞
So cute to see Russell as a kitten. So precious 💖
Pregnant Laura with Benjamin and a baby Russell! So amazing to see what can happen in 4 to 5 years
That little kitty has a strong purr! There is something special about orange cats. We had a litter of 3 orange male and 3 female kittens (one female was the female version of orange = calico).

Congrats on the new kitty. Nothing can replace your loss but there is always room to love another.
Awe! Seeing Russell as a baby kitty is the sweetest!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love videos like this... not boring at all, don't worry! 😊

So happy to see you have another kitty. I’ve missed Dexter in your videos.

How can anyone thumb down any of your videos? I adore all of them and rewatch them throughout the season as needed to keep my plants in check. Keep it up! Love little Russel already!
I can because I think it's crappy that she kicked a 1 pound kitten out of her bed because "he takes up so much room" really? One pound kitten? 🐱
So happy you were able to open your heart again and rescue this cutie! Maybe you can let him out and train him to come in at night. Enjoy the kitty period. They grow so fast!
We are incredibly happy for you, Aaron and Russell. I posted a pic of our new kitten, Jaxson on Facebook several weeks ago on your video about the loss of Dexter and I think they are all brothers from other mothers. Excited for you and Aaron for sure. Sending love from Vermont.
Russell is adorable and has found the best home ever. Makes me want a kitty. The color I miss. The Never ending leaves I do not miss. 🌴
YAY!!! Russell is too cute for words... I'm very happy for the two of you. Russell has a wonderful life ahead of him with all the gardens and devoted loving parents. Much love!!!
I'm so happy to see you adopted a new kitty. I was missing Dexter. Russell is adorable! Love your videos!
So happy to meet Russell. He is adorable. Glad you have a new member of the family. 😍🐈😍
That's a great cat right there! I really enjoyed the purring!

Don’t you think animals know when they have been rescued!? I’m glad Russell is with y’all; a symbiotic relationship!❤️🐾😊
Welcome Russell!!! We are all so glad you're here! I just adopted a polydactyl kitty too. His name is Fintan.
Finally get to see how you acquired Russell. What a cutie.
Awww Russell is so sweet!! Congrats!! Baby bump looking great too 💛✨💛.
Huge tip: Saves time. Blow the leaves out of the flower beds then mow up the leaves. The lawn mower sheds the leaves. Next, pile it up. In spring you have compost. Garden gold.
Isn't that what they were doing?
they put leaves in bags, and throw them in the trash bin. 9:05
CALife
I saw them just mowing the leaves on the lawn. And raking the flower beds separately. What works fast is to blow the leaves, from the beds, onto the lawn first. Then mow the leaves into the mower bag. This eliminates raking the beds.
OMG Russel is soooooo cute!!!! I'm glad another kitty found it's way into your home and hearts.
I'm so happy for you! I am sure Dexter is smiling down from heaven:) Congrats!
Me: *enjoys entire vlog*
Laura: "I hope it wasn't too boring of a vlog."
Also me: *waiting for the next one* 😂😂😂
Yep, that’s about the size of it! 😁
Am still missing Dexter. Glad that you could rescue Russell. I believe in adopting pets from shelters. I have had an affinity for yellow tom cats for 37 years since my first one. God Bless you and I am praying for a safe and easy delivery of your precious baby.
Congratulations for adopting Rustle !! He is adorable !
I actually really really enjoy your "clean-up" videos. It helps so much to learn what it takes to maintain different areas of the garden, especially when you did not grow up doing so. Thank you!
Such a difference with the property from three years ago to now!! Russell was such a cute kitten. Your videos are never boring.
SO glad you got another kitty, and what a keeper!
Those leaves are gold! Perfect for composting!
This was a great vlog! Russell is adorable with his little "mittens"! Thank you for sharing.
Your videos are never boring! I do so enjoy everyone.
Aww congratulations on the new kitty! He is adorable ❤️

That was my Sunday, too...yard work! I realize I like fall clean up much better than spring clean up!
Russell is super cute. My 16 year old cat loves to snuggle and sleeps in my arm (and across my chest) or sleeps on my pillow at night. Enjoy Russell..I hope he has a presence in your videos like Dexter.
I really like Russell Kitty. I hope he brings your family much happiness and releases the pain you feel from your loss of Dexter.
He is adorable! hope you keep him in at nights so he is safe even when older. Really cool little feet.
Loving the fall colors! Russell is precious and will be a great addition. He is playful for sure..
Laura you may not believe me but these kinds of videos you posts are some of my most favorite videos you do!! So So enjoyable to see your property prosper and grow more beautiful each and every day!! YOU my dear are glowing in beauty as well!! :-)

This wasn't boring at all and was in fact one of my faves! Love new Russell kitty :) Congrats
We have a feed store that is named "Six Toes Feed and Seed" Its because the cat and kittens have 6 toes.
Congratulations on the new kitty!
