As someone who edits videos and teaches, the missing file error was hilarious to me! And completely understand.
Was it on purpose?
@@brooksstudiosgarden1615 naah, it happens when you work and edit the timeline of the video :)
I DID TOO!
I busted out laughing when I saw that!
Bravo Aaron and his amazing editor for being human!
❤️🤣❤️😘🙏
(I'm rewinding YT to see it again! 😂😂😂🌞)
Was thinking as I was watching this video about how we do love to see everything they do, and we do wish Laura went around with a go-pro just strapped to her forehead 😂 but... that it would be selfish of us to expect the camera to be rolling all of the time. I don't want Laura and Aaron to feel "I should be filming this" during times when they really should be just living in the moment and loving life! That would become a reality show and everyone needs their down time and their private time with family. Filming and posting content is their job and while they love it, everyone needs to be able to "go home" at the end of a long day at work and spend time with their family without the public watching. So far it seems like they are striking a good healthy balance and that is awesome! Trying not to be greedy and thankful for everything that they do post for us to enjoy! 💗
Well said Stephanie! They are very generous already with what they give us.
You are truly a reflection of your beautiful mother and every positive quality she has shines through in you each day!
You thank us for the Hartley but remember you are the content creators! I don’t know if I can speak for everyone but for myself I watch because you have great content! Information, beauty , great down to earth people who us gardeners can all relate too , I believe you earned the Hartley fair an square with all your hard work ! We rejoice with you !
I lost my mom when I was 7 and I’m 31 now but when you said your mom mentioned she didn’t think y’all would be out pickin wheat again…that broke my heart! Made me think I should take my bonus mom out and do something we used to do. Cherish those moments with her! I know you already do y’all’s bond is amazing! Get out and bring back the memories!
And you know what honey? That’s ok! You deserve to enjoy your space, mom and life without a camera! 🙏🥰
Laura I love the format of you getting things done and then doing a voice over. DO NOT EVER feel guilty for doing this format if it helps you keep your garden beautiful. I noticed in your video where you planted the the tall grass that there was a little green appearing in your lawn area.
I understand not wanting to film everything. You need to enjoy your life too! What would be great…. Monthly Tours!! They could be 2 hours long! I would rather watch you guys then anything else on TV 🥰
Okay but the terra-cotta “coaster” is the best! So Laura! ❤️😂
🤣 Hibiscus - the deer ate All the leaves from mine last fall. I left it hoping it would survive - I’d just planted it a month before!! So come spring was just a dry stick 😫 when everything was leafing. I yanked it out and saw what looked like a live tap root so I put it in a bucket with some water put in garage and forgot about it for a Month!! Then found it stuck it in the ground thinking what the heck we’ll see..... Totally Alive and doing Great!!😂😃🤗💚
I for one am totally happy with the amount of footage y'all take because I realize YOU GUYS need to have a life too!!! So I"m grateful for what we get and so yeah, no worries at ALL.
I was a jet engine mechanic before I retired. My hands were always a wreck. We double dated with a friend and his new girlfriend. When she was asked what she did, she replied nail technician. My hands immediately went below the table. She laughed, and said, “too late, I have already seen them.” Lol!
I vote no boxwood hedge for the cut flower garden. Also, thinking extending the tile out of the Hartley and doing at least a landing but also the walkway could be nice too.
Laura & Aaron...while I understand you wanting to film this and that vs just get it done or spend time with mom or the kids...please, treasure the time when its just you and your families..I don't think a single person would be upset.....afterall family is family and plants are just plants...its not like you don't give us 5-6 videos a day..love you take Sunday's off or when its just too hot or something comes up...that is life!!! we will still watch and still love the realness and your tribe!! enjoy NOT having a camera in your face and JUST BE!!!
My sentiments exactly. Laura, you don’t want your teenage ,or adult, children accusing you of not being present in their lives because of that “darn camera”!
Maybe you aren't aware of the fact that they make their living from the videos they do and the number of views, likes, etc. So, I'm sure they are very motivated to post videos. Remember that they bought the Hartley from revenue made from their videos. More power to them!
@@maryannferencak3799I am very aware it is their job. Simply stated that I doubt anyone would be grudge them missing out on a planting here or there, especially given the weather they've had of late. Sometimes you don't NEED to Capture the Moment, but live in the moment. Sometimes its nice for others to hear that they are doing a good job, or it okay, or hey, I understand that vibe :)
@@maryannferencak3799 you are right again. They make thousands of dollars per video. They will never get tired of filming.
@@lisaalpert8900 I don't mind if anyone, even these two, takes a vacation from their full time job. I don't depend on the videos. Besides, I don't believe they need anyone's permission to film videos or not. I think a lot of people are under the impression that having a RUclips channel is just a hobby that is done with the most altruistic motives of helping others. It's a job and makes quite a few people wealthy.
My mother wanted hibiscus every Mother’s Day & that’s what I would get her. 🌺 I miss those days SO much 🥺
we all need our mom's advice. I carry mine with me even though she's gone and I'm old. It's a treasure to have in your heart.
Honestly I resonate so much with Laura when she justified her not having a clean studio. Why clean the mess now when I’m gonna make mess again? Hahahaha love you so much! Also, no need to be fancy or perfect!! The best thing about Garden Answer is because YOU are YOU ✨💜
People ask the dumbest questions. I commend Laura for having the patience to deal with it all the time.
I have so much respect for you and your decision to prioritize the time with your family. I know that there are times you think about filming and it is just great that you don't! I think you will cherish the camera-free times just as much as these videos. I love to see the content you provide and listening as you take the time to answer questions and respond to comments, too! Thank you for making your family a real family and thank you for sharing your knowledge with Garden Answer/Highlights!
Thank you for doing these recaps! I enjoy them so much and have learned so much from them! One of my weekly highlights!😃
"there's a lot of valuable things I've learned from my mom" ❤️😭❤️😭❤️
And my stepmom.
Duluth Trading Company has women's no ride up tank tops. They're awesome!
The No Yank Tank!
Love Duluth clothes. Their women’s overalls that breathe are the best!
I've said this a few times before, but I really enjoy the format of your highlights videos with the dialouge you and Aaron engage in. I enjoy hearing Aaron's thoughts about topics too. Great job to you both!
Me too!
Laura is all of us "Junipers" **scrunchy face** LOL Love it!
I can see having one big healthy juniper tree (out of the way) to make your own gin. But I hate dense hedges (they’re just full of spiders!) so juniper hedges or even a windbreak for a garden wall… 😖
Every year I threw away my Hibiscus because I thought they didn't survive in the pots after winter. Well, NOW I KNOW BETTER thanks TO YOU! My two Hibiscus are ready to bloom again. LOL.
There is an annual Hibiscus that garden centers sell for containers…it does not come back unless you’re in the warmer climates.
I very nearly threw mine away this year but soooo glad I didn’t. Haven’t flowered as yet but plenty of buds. Can’t wait to see it in full bloom 🙂
We wintered over a Hibiscus in the sunroom and it bloomed in the winter with snow on the ground!!
I want one of those fancy ceiling fans that has propellors instead of BLADES. Blades is the word you were looking for Aaron. 😂😆
let's see a video of Aaron teaching Laura how to use the irrigation app. Would be a great learning experience for us all! 💧🌱
A porch at the shed would provide a great respite from the heat while spending time admiring your open garden. I can see you sitting on a rocking chair with your gin & tonic enjoying the peace. Think about it.
I think so too. The one Joanna Gaines has on her garden shed is so pretty and makes it look really inviting.
Lol..I think I'm a porch-a-holic (so my opinion is probably biased) but I love that idea 💡. It would look lovely in that setting.
Totally agree.. I was thinking a swing chair.
I’m having a hard time picturing Laura sitting anywhere .She’s just such a dynamo.
🌺You two are so fun together! I love these recaps. And the “mess” around you is wonderful. A sign of hard work and lots of laughs while making some beautiful things, especially memories! Can’t wait to see you sitting under the chandelier in the Hartley🥰❤️💚🌼💜🌸💛
If Laura want a meadow look in the orchard, it seems appropriate to have a cottage looking shed with a porch (for seating/sitting/a couple of chairs for the quaint look). But you could add it later if the building is not too close to the cut garden.
That would be sooooo pretty. Adirondack chairs, or rocking chairs and a little table. For her cocktails, when she’s not using the Hartley🥰🥰
@@patcox8745 Yeah! I think she would use the little front porch with a shaded seating area...and cocktails while make bokays w/Mom : D
About 2 months ago I realized this channel existed when y'all mentioned it in a regular video. Happy to report I'm finally caught up on recap videos! They are so enjoyable to watch, thank you for taking the time to answer submitted questions. Also, "We'll figure it out" is our marriage motto, we have it engraved on the inside of our rings. :)
I love ❤️ the terra-cotta coaster for your drink…so creative 😉 especially for a garden channel!!!
You made me feel so much better about my WIP craft messes! Lol! Just love when people are more REAL on youtube. =)
Oh my! My mother worked for Andrew Seed years and years ago!
Ladies, the best tank tops in the world (imho) are the Deluth Trading "No Yank Tanks"! They are amazing with an extra long length so there isn't any creeping up. They also last forever....I think the slate flooring would look formal, rich & gorgeous leading out into the garden.
Wearing one right now!
Slate is pretty, but it is not uniform in thickness. This makes it very difficult to install and a real trip hazard.
TY 👏🏻
@@emilymarlow2624 great right?
I live in Pennsylvania. I have the dinner plates hibiscus and it's planted in my landscape. YES THEY COME BACK EVERY YEAR FOR ME
I live in northeast Illinois and different Hibiscus border both sides of my property. They come back each year bigger and better. When my dog breaks a branch off I put it in my watering can fir a week then plun it in the ground, works almost every time. Currently have around 20 of 5 or 6 varieties. Love them. 🌺
"I'm going to go put up the Christmas tree right when we're done filming." You're a girl after my own heart. While I enjoy all seasons (and frankly winter is lowest on my list) I do love me some Christmas. Hoping you post some pics for us. ;-)
Laura and Aaron, we appreciate all that you do for us. 🌺🌻🌼
That was such a treat seeing the wedding photos come up. I wasn’t expecting that. As I don’t use any other social media. Thank you for posting these photos in this video. You both look gorgeous. Happy couple. God bless you and your family.
Never, never feel bad for not filming EVERYTHING. We'll see it soon enough when you do a tour. Can't say how much I've appreciated having someone like you as a knowledge resource. You are my absolute favorite! THANK YOU!
I agree. Laura and Aaron, you and your family need your own time to enjoy time and projects together privately.
I get excited when I see Laura's gardening hands. Makes me feel that I'm in the cool girl's gardening club with my wonderfully dirty gardening hands too! It's supposed to be 106 here in North Tx this week. The humidity is so heavy. "I would! Embrace the wild side, Aaron." Love that response! I'm going to try it with my hubs.
Those wheat wreaths looked so good!
Oh me too! I look at my hands and dismiss the need to make more effort because its not my way. And I LOVE the things my hands do, planting, making flower arrangements, working in clay, etc. So I love my hands
It's been so wet, hot, AND humid in my area that the conditions pretty much mimic a greenhouse. The weeds are definitely loving it!
Regarding the boxwoods around the cut flower garden; The hedge of cabbage was spectacular this year. And u gave it away to ur community. Best hedge ever! 😍
We only can water our grass twice a week right now in Wyoming. 🥺 It’s getting bad new fires everyday. Our water shortage is because they can’t find some chemical for the treatment center. Praying for everyone this year! We all need the moisture! 😭🌧
Willows do amazing by a pond and don’t shed nearly as much leaves as they do in a spot where is doesn’t have consistent moisture. I have 3 planted by our pond and don’t have any issues. The ones planted out in the middle lot do suffer from lots of thining and leaf drop in zone 8b.
So cool!!
I wouldn't enclose the cut flower garden but love the idea of a secret garden maybe hidden somewhere out on the property and build for the children to find..with beautiful whimsical things inside from fairies to dragons to butterflies etc :) talk about new video thread!!!
The hedges would provide a huge benefit as windbreaks for the seedlings in the cut flower garden.
Your recaps are a good reminder to me to get on top of the jobs in the garden I put off because I’m having coffee and watching your regular videos
My best lessons are from the things I've killed. Rip little friends. 🥀⚘🌺🌻🌼🏵🌹
These bugs were bugging me out, so I sprayed and then I put down some slug and snail bait, now my Jack Frost is dead along with those pesky bugs,
Laura and Aaron, you film wonderfully and provide a great resource for us. Please do not apologize for not filming every moment of your gardening life. You have the right to chose, you have the right to enjoy your yard, your mom and making those decisions. We will still be watching and enjoying your videos. Allow yourself the freedom to chose when to film and when to not film.
I am pretty sure you you need a Christmas tree on both sides of the Hartley! 😂 and the chandelier in the middle!! We can’t wait.
I'm in Connecticut, and we have been getting some of the smoke from the fires out west, it's crazy!
Hi neighbor.. I'm in CT too!
CT resident here. The mosquitoes in my backyard are thick enough to create a haze on their own. Still better than last years drought though.
I was stopped in my tracks when I stopped at our local nursery and there was a dinner plate hibiscus, light pink with a dark center. It was gorgeous!!!
I love seeing your 'real hands' in your videos; short nails, dirt under your nails, dirt everywhere lol!! I always kind of counted it a 'badge of honor' when I literally had to bleach my fingernails to make them presentable enough to go back to work on Mondays after a full weekend of workiing in my gardens.
17:05 - Duluth Trading specializes in long tanks/other tops.
Yes they do. They are called no-yank tanks. Really guys can e NOT ask her brand of underwear.
i'm still thinking of a black fence 'round the cut flower garden like you have in your raised bed areas, and each section should be removable: when it's time to plow you just remove a section, drive in, plow, leave, and put the fence back.. lavender sounds beautiful but you still have the access issue... the fan "propellers" are called fan "blades", just FYI... and mice in the drawer, omg.. we had baby RATS in a drawer in the garage when we first moved into our house... i was retching all the way to the garbage, egads, horrible horrible... you and your mom are exactly as we see you in the videos.. i only met the two of you briefly when i visited the garden center a few years ago, and honestly, it was a dream come true to meet you (you may not remember but i burst into tears because i'm such a fangirl nerd, sigh).. anyhoo... you are both just as sweet and friendly and down to earth as we see you here on video.. that's a very good thing..we need more people like you and your family in our world... great week!! :)
It's 94 degrees and humid in GA. Omg the humidity takes your breath away when you walk outside. The feels like temp is 104.
I love seeing those peaks of things you've planted off camera!! Because I know they'll show up in videos and when you do a tour you'll give us a better view!
For the Hartley, you’ll be looking for outdoor rated fans. There are fans that are rated for damp locations (for use in covered porch areas) and for wet locations (where there is direct exposure to rain or water). Sagging blades may mean the fan is very old, but could be from incorrectly using an interior fan outside. Downrods come in 12”, 18”, 24”, 36”, 48”, 60”, and 72” lengths. I would suggest looking into your options and ordering sooner than later. I work at a lighting showroom and we are finding that most of the brands we carry have back order ETAs of late August to mid-September, minimum. Be mindful of the fans’ blade span with the shades and chandelier as well. Hope this information helps!
I almost spit my water out when you said friggin. That was hysterical and point on. 😀
Laura - You deserve to have a private life and do not need to film/share everything. Yes, we love it when you share your projects because we learn so much. But please, don’t feel any pressure to do more. ❤️
I understand that setting up a video takes so much longer. I was totally good with it until you wore a ponytail and we didn’t get to see the picture! LOL
That smoke cloud is indeed coast to coast. We had a bad air day a couple of days ago, and I live 26 miles from the Atlantic coast.
Laura, don’t feel bad about not filming everything you do. We will watch anything you are happy to share. We just love your content, family and property and enjoy every minute of the joy you have when gardening 🌸🌺🌳🌷
I think slate coming out the doors and a wide “deck” around the Hartley would be beautiful, even an area large enough for a bistro table and chairs.
What about a two-plank fence around the cutting garden; either matching your existing fence or stained black (my preference) to match other structures nearby? You could stop the fence a sufficient distance back from the pathways and plant a small tractor-safe evergreen (or 2 or 3) at the end of the fence row.
I vote YES on a porch in front of the shed!
I think a fence around the cut flower garden that matched the vegetable garden fence would be really nice.
I’m in a zone 9 in alabama and the hibiscus stay green until frost, under a cover they stay green year round and will bloom regularly in the summer.
I wish you could interview your mom someday. I would love to hear a little bit about her life and how she raised such a wonderful daughter! She seems is be so unique and we would learn so much from her as you have.
You truly have such a wonderful woman as your mother! ♥️💕♥️ I have a feeling she could teach us all a lot about living life to the fullest.
My house is like all glass and OCD about my windows lol but the windex glass cleaner that attaches to your garden hose is honestly so easy and fast! I use that between getting them professionally cleaned. I highly recommend
Wow! What a great deal for the wedding bride! My daughter is getting married soon. Everything sure does add up. What an amazing gift to give your friend.
We have walnut trees in the back of their property and we have squirrels. So I find volunteer walnut trees and walnuts in my pots and flower beds every year. LOL
OH, Pat I've pulled out so many walnut saplings this year they have been popping up all over my
Beds!!!
My neighbor 2 yards away has them and I get the seedlings. It's ok. I send the sqirrels with pecan seedlings for him.😊
I think you would both love a little porch on the shed so that you could sit and look out over the cut flower garden. Also if you just keep your fan spinning and never turn it off the blades tend not to droop. They droop when moisture settles onto them. Obviously outdoor fan blades are best but in a pinch if you find something you love you can possibly make it work. 😁
Yay! A day early! Have a great day Laura and Aaron!🌿💚🌿
The best part in all videos was where you try and make gardening and maintenance simple for those who want a beautiful yard . You started from a small area in your garden then worked at your grandparents garden and then you made lovely wheat wreaths then planted a bunch trees around your city and came back with simple grasses to your garden. You are very kind person Laura .
Get a wet rated fan for the Hartley! We own a beach house and did "damp" rated, they lasted a few years, but we replaced them with wet rated and they have been much better!
I like the black doors. Matches your shutters and there’s so much white with your house. I don’t know if I would have thought they would look good had someone not sent you the rendering. Go for it.
Non tidy hedge around The cut flower garden a la English country side. Wild rose, Elderberry, Blackberries, Ligustrum aka privet and Hawthorne maybe?
Here in Western New York we are dealing with the smoke from the fires out west.
How about one video, a tour of the beds, trees and shrubs you planted off camera? We’d love it so very much!
In Pennsylvania, I believe most of the state is between zone 5 and 6b. I don’t think it’s colder than 5 though. Also, yes, we do get snow and ice every year in most parts of Pennsylvania! We typically have all 4 true seasons, though our winters haven’t all been as snowy as years past. Makes you appreciate each season to experience each ☺️
Snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain in New Jersey!
I’m in southeastern pa, and we’re zone 7a🌿🌻🌳☀️
Aaron, there is probably a way to fit a remote to the windows on the Hartley or light sensitive closers. I know they have something like that at the old greenhouse at Cornell University
I live in Florida 9b. My Candy Crush hibiscus dies back completely and comes up fresh in the spring. I prune out the dead in early spring. That’s very different than most of the hibiscus that is more common in this area. They usually stay green through the winter and are pruned back in early spring to maintain size.
Thanks for sharing, Cassandra! I'm also in FL 9b and was about to put the Candy Crush hibiscus around our pool, for year-round color. Good to know how they'll behave.
Totally love how unapologetic you are about “that’s just not who I am” regarding your hands.
I think a porch on the shed is a great idea. Great for sitting, decorating and looks.
Does Benjamin ever mimic you talking to the camera? I used to mimic my mom on the phone when I played as a child.
My Mom had the most beautiful edges with her box woods, she always trimmed at dusk, hope this helps, she has been gone now over 12 year's, blessings watching Aaron and you, growing as Ur doing, Lov & Joy's in all Ur doings, ! Thanks for sharing Ur Life, and Ur Beauties!!
Good morning. I always look forward to the recap videos.
If only I lived near by I could make the jams, preserves and chutneys while you guys grow the harvest - what a great combination that would be. You’re pretty good at filming a range of projects and there is a balance between filming and family time.
Omg! I used to give plasma each week just to buy more hibiscus! My favorite! Last year I cross pollinated my red and yellow hibiscus and the red had yellow under the petals and the yellow had a red center. They both had tons of pods by the end of the year and i planted them, there's about 18, 6 in. plants so far...can't wait to see how they turn out!
My dad was a machinist. Stained hands. He used Borax (as in 20 mule team) and a nail scrubber.
windex has an attachment to add to your garden hose, that has the windex in it. It mixes with the water from the hose, we use it every year, especially for our 2nd story windows. Does a great job.
Hi, Laura & Aaron 😊 Great recap video. Two things. 1. I like the high tunnels out there; they look like they belong there. And 2. The best part of this video is you opening up about your relationship with your Mom 💗 It hit me in the feels! So envious.🙂
I just adore your enthusiasm!
The mess on the floor reminds me of a bar where they have shell peanuts and you put the shells on the floor!
I'm in Tallahassee, Florida (zone 8b). We're in the northern part of the state known as the big bend.
Hardy hibiscus do great here. Cut them back to about 6 inches in early spring when they are just starting to flush out. I had several, but they were so infested with white flies that I ripped them out. I don't care what anyone says; you simply can't get rid of white fly infestations.It really ticks me off when nurseries sell diseased plants.
The cat may not be neutered (hence fighting) but could be a stray that was dumped or is just friendly. “Feral” is a term for unfriendly cats/cats that want to be outdoor only without / with minimal human contact.
There may be local rescues that’ll help too trap, neuter and release them 🤍
Thank you for sharing everything!! Appreciate you guys!! 💛
I agree. Poor gray kitty is lost or got left behind. Hopefully someone will rescue him/her and provide a loving home. Being abandoned/stray is a tough life.
44:35 I was gonna say it seems Aaron is the one who likes things more tidy! Remember his containers in the competition? His were very striking but clean and tidy looking.
Thank you for not waiting to share a Hartley update. I need the process! And I love seeing your joy 😀
You made good points about not putting boxwoods around the big garden. I think they would look good but your cons made a lot of sense. I wouldn't do. You should be able to enjoy your space and it not be a hassle. 😊
We've been having some critter eating our ripening tomatoes. My husband trapped a huge opossum last week and we thought the problem was solved. I went out to pick yesterday and found 5 of my beautiful beefsteak tomatoes half eaten but still hanging from the plant. Springtime was a huge bug problem and summer has been varmint season. Sigh, my beautiful tomatoes. We live in the suburbs so it's not like we are in the wilderness or live on a farm. So frustrating. I wouldn't put a boxwood around the cut flower garden but maybe a pretty fence but making sure the walkways are well clear.
Squirrels get more tomatoes than I do (in Florida).
Hibiscus overwinters here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (zone 4b). We warn people who shop at St Ignace In Bloom not to expect any green until at least June 10, but they are massive in size by early August. They are amazing until frost.
