Recaps could be 2 hours long and I'm still going to watch! Recaps are my favorite videos, it's like sitting down with a fellow gardening friend to hear all about their week. Love them!
Me2
I so agree!
Yelp ..... !!!
Yes!!! I agree.
So true i could sit and watch Laura all day just something about her and how she does thing's such Determination and inspiration
I totally agree with the person who wrote about the wonderful break from some of the awful news from around the world.
Garden Answer is my bliss! My comfort 🪴🌳🙏🏻👏☺️
Agreed. It's a nice EDEN PARADISE.
I love how Laura worries every time she thinks a video is too long and we are all happy to get every minute we can!! I’d happily be like 3 hour video, heck ya!!
Amen!
I know, right!! That would be SO exciting!!
Spend an entire day with Laura!! Lol!
It's because people don't watch it til the end like we think they do. Then the algorithm doesn't push her videos out as much. She makes shorter videos in hopes they watch it all the way. I watch her videos all the way. Sometimes the same videos over n over!
@@notsuitable7954 🤩
I’m getting such a kick out of Russell in the shrub behind you! He almost fell out. 😂 he’s so adventurous! ❤️🤣
He had me giggling. My husband and I love how Russell always sneaks into the videos.
I love Russell
I hope Aron knows how grateful we are for everything he has done to help garden answer become what it is now. These two are such a wonderful team. 💕
I absolutely agree!
Aron appreciation month!! 😄
Oh I just have to share this….I just had cataract surgery this week. While watching your video today, I just realized how extra sharp and colorful your pink flowers next to you are when I close one eye and look through the eye I had surgery on. What an amazing difference in what I see. It was your video where I noticed the wonderful change in vision!!! Thank you for all you do. Love your gardens!
Me too Barbara!! Everything is so clear and defined! I was blind and now I see!!
Yay for you!!! My mom had cataract surgery and she was amazed by the difference! She said it was like someone washed the dirty windows! It's amazing how quick the surgeries were....under 10 minutes each eye! These beautiful flowers are the perfect thing to try your "new" 👀 out on. 😃🥰
The most drama I want to see:
"I want to grow a meadow" - Laura
"You can't grow a meadow here" - Aaron.
"Watch me!" - Laura
Love when the editing makes it look like there are 3 or 4 Laura's in the video. So much fun!
My husband jokingly said one time “that’s how she gets it done so fast, there’s multiples of her” lol
@@Daffodils2Daisies yes!! The movie “Multiplicity” just sprang into my head!🤣🤣🤣🤣 (where Michael Keaton makes clones of himself so he can get more done and each “copy” degrades just a bit)
@@laraemitchell9064 but you remember what happened, you can’t make a copy of a copy! 😂😂
@@jgwood10 yup!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Daffodils2Daisies 🤣
Sorry Ken but we like long videos! Especially in the summer when it’s HOT 🥵 and I need a excuse to stay indoors in the AC 🤗😊💜
😄indeed
The view around you is GORGEOUS!!!
Thought the same! Beautiful backdrop.
Yessss! It’s so beautiful that it’s a bit distracting but in the best way! 😊
When Benjamin starts school, you could do a pumpkin patch field trip for his class!
Still hoping she will homeschool the kiddos. So many things they can learn just from working in agriculture (botany), cooking/canning (math), etc. The way the education system is now? No thank you.
They have more than one full time job as it is! Send him to school. What do you know about the school district there!
That is my dream. A giant pumpkin patch free for all. When I raised my kids we couldn’t afford to go to pumpkin patches
Great idea!
@@kimr4005 that’s one of my dreams too! I want to plant a pumpkin patch and invite the community to come pick for free. When we were raising our kids we couldn’t always afford to take them to the patches. One year, a farm offered one free pumpkin per child. That was such an amazing gift to us! I’d love to pay that forward.
Laura, it's not just a dream. The support from your family and your passion made it all possible 💞. My family have learnt so much and even though we're living in Trinidad it makes us feel a part of a loving group. When you're blessed, you're truly blessed.
She does have such a beautiful, supportive family. I wish I had a family like that growing up, or even now...
I understand what you mean. I do not know Laura or any of her family but I get really happy and excited for the good things that happen and I cry when things don't go right. I feel like I am right with her and her mom on those beautiful antiquing trips too. Beautiful people with beautiful hearts.
@Epic Gardening hello!!!!
@@prambhigaming3074 yo!
@@epicgardening i love your channel!!!!!!!
@@epicgardening i never thought you would reply omg😃😃😃
Laura, I love how your eyes glaze over when Aaron talks about upgrading his equipment! Too funny!
I was thinking the same thing😂
I love long recap videos! The longer the better. I love it when Laura and Aaron start discussing what they’ve done, how things are turning out, and especially when they go into planning mode and figure out what they’re gonna do! Makes me feel part of a planning meeting. 😍😍😍
Same! I dont know why it's so Intriguing to hear more of them conversing.
I think it’s important, especially for new gardeners, to know that everyone experiences garden fails every year. Otherwise, gardening might seem too overwhelming and become discouraging.
Yep, all my pumpkins was destroy by vines bores ,never even knew there was such a thing, having done some research it's seems there is no cure for it 🤔
@@verawallace9055 , so sorry to hear that ☹️
My Mother who was eighty at the time said she had been gardening since she was twenty and she learned something new every single year! ❌❌🙋♀️
Love the cat in the background putting on his own show climbing the tree😂 🐈
Thought I was the only one who noticed the 🐈 until I started ready all of the comments 😊
You NEVER know where or when the cat supervisor will show up!
Russell doesn't want to be left out 🤣
I always love it when he hams it up in the background too!
All of a sudden at the beginning of the seaseon I'm talkin about my new friend "Laura" , ie, she does this , uses that, tried that. etc. Everyone knows I don't go anywhere beside work, they look at me like I have an imaginary friend - haha Laura totally inspred me this year adn hopefully for a long time. I like good people in my life.
My husband had never watched a video but gets the second hand audio says to me “what would Laura say”
Laura and Aaron do not discredit yourselves for all the hard work and planning you have done in order to have a Hartley. Enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing your lives
I think the lamp in the bathroom may be a style/period thing. I've only seen lamps in bathrooms in houses decorated in an older/antique style. And your family seems to really appreciate that look.
Oh my goodness yes i said exactly the same thing. I've only ever seen it in magazines or Victorian era tour houses
Right. I think it's because much older houses used furniture pieces in bathrooms instead of vanities with sconce lighting. I guess if you have the room it's fine, but seems cluttered for such a small space.
I do it also. In my bathroom as well as my kitchen. Just a nice little glow whenever you walk in…
I was curious about where knot gardens got their name, so I found this: >
Great comment and informative. Thank you.
At 45:50, Love seeing Russel slinking through the jungle like a cougar.
Aaron, I would love to see a drone video of the grass pathways and yard out there in the new gardens while it is developing. That would be so interesting. I love the drone footage. I could sit here and watch you fly all over the place. Have you all noticed the dirt not blowing around as much since you have started putting the mulch and trees and grass down? I'm sure that has dropped considerably. It is all looking fabulous. I can't wait till you start on the Hartley.
The lamp in the bathroom might be more "your families". LOL In all of m 50+ years, I have never seen a lamp in someone's bathroom before now. (And I'm in the PNW also, so not just a regional thing either. ) As always, love your videos.
I’m in the Midwest, and I have also never seen this.
We appreciate ken editing these long videos!!!
Don’t ever say RUclips may end. It’s the only decent thing to watch on tv. And GA is the best. Loved seeing cat climbing in the back ground. Many thanks.
I cannot agree more with you both that there are other channels, other avenues for obtaining commentary on politics, etc. I am so grateful y’all are strictly light and bright; it makes you the shelter in the storm for people whenever they need it.
I used to watch another channel (a skincare one with a great personality behind the wheel) and the creator RUINED IT by getting political; I had to stop watching and unsubscribe.
It means a lot that you are so self-aware and focused on a particular goal for your channel. It is very much appreciated and enjoyed! 💗 Keep up the great work!
P.S. Love the cat in the tree behind Laura! 😂🤣
I think being the shelter in the storm is why they don’t have to remind and ask folks to subscribe. People just do because watching this channel is so rewarding to the majority of us!
There are times when I appreciate when a creator makes their political opinions known, so I'm aware that they don't believe people like me deserve equal rights and I can unfollow them promptly... but there's something about gardening channels in particular that is just so pure and wholesome that I'm glad the ones I watch stay within the positive gardening realm. Sometimes we just need to look at pretty flowers and foliage.
You two are so refreshing and encouraging to watch! What a relationship you have, your love and companionship really show through, altruistic people, so beautiful, so inspiring!
Amen
Amen
A detailed before and after of your entire garden with lots of aerial views would be awesome. You could do a series for each different area of the garden and then the finale which gives us the overview of the entire garden, which is not as detailed, but takes us on a meander with you around the whole garden. Thank you for all your hard work!!
These recaps have become my favorite of all videos. I love the exchanges between you and Aaron, the kitties appearances and the plans for the future. I do miss the package openings showcasing all the items you are blessed with from viewers. Love watching the growth, thanks for sharing. P.S. Girl you need to take a sip of your drink. I almost feel guilty enjoying my beverage while you don’t.
WTG Laura’s daddy for doing the extra things for your children!! Much love! 💙💙💙
She makes him sound like a gangster with his side hustle. always makes me laugh
@@andrewthorne6653 well he is the OG!! lol!
Oh My Goodness. "I can just strap her on and we can roll." (Talking about the new baby carrier you are getting.) What a hoot that was to hear and SO perfect!! You guys are such wonderful parents. Not to mention good gardeners, too.
Your highlights are my weekly highlight! Thank you for sharing so much of your life and garden with all of us.
Laura and Aaron, it always a delight to watch yours videos. Love the info, seeing the garden and watching the new spaces take shape. I hope you both will take the time you need and want (5 days a week posting) so you can get more time for yourselves and so you can last longer in this business. We need your type of content- positive, informative, collaborative, beautiful and fun!
Ya we did get a video today!!! What a surprise!!❤️❤️!
You never have to apologize for time spent with friends! Thank you both for sharing your garden journey with us!
OMG! I’m a horticulturist at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and this has been the wettest summers here in the south. So the bugs and diseases have been CRAZY!!!
Laura’s eyes got really big 😳 when Aaron mentioned he’s looking at a large new spreader. LOL
Laura’s eyes when Arron mentioned a new spreader and then the mention of a new mower. It’s all in the eyes girl. There goes the plant budget for sure. Haha 😂
Thank you so much for touching on the times you get overwhelmed or discouraged. I needed to hear that just now and your comments helped me refocus on the good spots in my garden and to find patience with the needs work areas! I'm still learning at 70! But most importantly I'm learning new ways to adapt my gardening when my brain thinks I'm 30 and my body knows that's not so! Your journey in your gardens have given me so many great ideas that I can actually adapt to my one and a half acres. Blessings to you and your sweet family. 🌷
1:03:52 Ken's sense of humor has fast become another reason I love GA videos!
There's young people watching you too! I am 29 and I have been following you religiously for years and I bet that I'm not the only one.
I’m so glad God keeps blessing you. Continued prayers for the blessing on your family! I pray you continue to keep flourishing and that your blessings continue to multiply!
the “fails” is as educator say -first attempt in learning. it also allows us to learn with you.
When my daughter was a baby she rode around on my back or belly in a carrier everywhere. I’m a chef and would cook with her on my back, she was my little sous chef. We both loved it.
All my kids spent a great deal of time in the backpack.
I just watched those videos you did when you first moved to this property. What a difference! It's always fun to re-watch your older videos and see what you thought you were going to do with a space or how things didn't work out or did work great...it's how gardening works!
Sometimes I watch an hour+ video, sometimes I watch it in three sittings. It’s all good.
What a beautiful backdrop for your video today!
Thank you Laura for your positive attitude all the time!
I love how we are all a part of your problem-solving discussions----you and Aaron batting ideas around until you figure out what's going to replace the arbs next year. LOL Part highlight video, part morning meeting. Thanks for bringing us along with you on this wonderful journey!
This is a random idea so take it for what it’s worth… but maybe on the days you want to take off, you could repost some of your videos that you are constantly linking in the comments of videos from previous years to answer peoples questions. Make small playlists as you go, like a drip irrigation playlist on the highlights channel. Just a little thought that came to mind because I am always going back through previous years catching up on all the videos I have missed or rewatching educational ones or my favorite ones! Then you could still provide a video for those who want one everyday, but you don’t have to create them from scratch! Might be a terrible idea, or might give you a starting point on other ideas to fill in the gaps if you want too. Thanks for all you guys do. You are making a difference in the gardening world and the lives of so many people! 💖
I second this idea!!! Yes, please!
Yes! I am trying to binge watch all the fountain video's!
That big breath that Laura takes at 50:43 is the same breath we all take when our spouse says they're looking at buying something that seems excessive. Haha. Love it!
Love your childhood stories. It’s what shaped your interest. Love it!!
I had noticed the mud on your pants and didn’t think anything other than you being the workhorse that you are. Sometimes that just happens with a job well done!
You wear your dirt well!
Hahahaha- Aaron- "I'm thinking about upgrading to the bigger one...." Laura- deep sigh with a smile hahaha. Love your channel! I don't think I've missed an episode in 2 years!
I have a small little suburban garden - my first year gardening! I love all the information and suggestions I get from you each day - and I adore Russell and Cheddar in the background (or foreground!!!) Thank you and Aaron so much for ALL the Garden Answers!
Love hearing about new gardeners! 👏
Finally, something formal in the garden. A knot garden around the Hartley. I'm so happy to hear that. Wow and a medal area in all that land.
Funny about the lamps in a bathroom. It's unusual to see a lamp in the bathroom around here! :)
Same. I haven’t seen many table top lamps in a bathroom. No bathroom I’ve ever had is big enough for that. I’d break them in mine - first time I reached for a towel.
Video length was only 1:12. Not too long at all. I love hearing you two brainstorm and discuss your gardens. On the other hand the start of the video was questions that have been answered soooo many times. Are the people new or just not really watching or researching the questions because it seems like some of the questions are so redundant. Not trying to be negative but my mind always goes “here we go again, watch the videos and you won’t keep asking the same questions”. Anyway, once you got past that I am totally loving the content.
My husband's elementary "advanced type" of school" taught gardening .....and he loved it then and has used those skills all these years....he will be 80 November 23rd
Hello Aaron and Laura, so appreciative of you guys sharing your experiences and knowledge with everything gardening. Please continue to plant trees...with thousands of hectares of trees burnt/destroyed here in Western Canada; not forgetting California, the Amazon, etc. Our earth is in dire need of more trees! Looking forward to your teaching videos😍
YES! Your video's are a needed escape from bad news. I really NEED the distraction your channel provides.
We were finally rewarded at 1:08 for a glimpse of Russell!!! Love garden kitties :-)
I love spotting them. They add a special flare to the videos . Check out 43:43! Up in the Multi trunk tree in the background
So how many people have gone back and watch the video again just for Russell? 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️💗 🐈🐈
@@lisamarie_in_the_garden436 😂 I missed that one...thanks for pointing it out!
Thanks for the time stamp…. Don’t have time to watch the whole movie but wanted to see Russell
@@lisamarie_in_the_garden436 good eye…. Had to rewind and look twice
None of my bathrooms are large enough for lamps but I love the way you have decorated your bathroom. Lamps add a nice warmth and coziness to any space including bathrooms.
Some houses have large bathrooms and have furniture and lamps! Wish I had one!
I have a small Ikea lamp in my powder room, it uses a small bulb and is a great nightlight.
You're an inspiration, your passion for the garden is contagious, I love watching your channel, I have always love gardening and houseplants but everyday I learn the name of new plants and flowers. Your energy is contagious, blessings to you and your family, I truly enjoy the journey, thank you so much🤗💚💚
Another fun and fabulous video! I just love the highlights show; I find myself snuggling in to my sofa knowing It's going to be long and informative. I love the banter between the two of you since we can learn a lot just listening. You have no idea how much joy you bring to your subscribers. Laura, your kind and sweet spirit to say nothing of your constant enthusiasm makes our own time in our gardens seem more enjoyable; and Aaron is so delightful....just love his easy laughter! Regarding the Hartley....have you ever thought of a water feature just outside of it? It would just add a measure of a cottage look. Just a thought. Anyway, thank you so much for all that you do...we love you!
They have a water feature that is turned off for the installation of the Hartley. They haven’t decided to keep it where it is or move it.
Yes, I remember how lovely it was. I thought I remember that Laura thought that they would put it on the new property. I know that wherever they put it will look amazing! Thanks, Jane
No drama, no opinions thank you! Just gardening thank you!
Love love love those long videos! Especially when there isn't a new video today on the main chanel.
Dear God here in NC its in high 90’s every day and humidity 70-80% every day. Im ready for fall
Here in the Deep South, Georgia is “Hot”..
Same here in the middle Florida Keys its a swampy hot n humid 94°F & 76% and and now it's worse bc it just stopped pouring, and the sun is blazing, so its brutal out. Can't wait for our fall/winter which is more like a late spring up north, but we do get a few days around 60 that seem freezing to us😂
It’s the same here in Wisconsin! Everyone thinks we are cold 24/7 but because of our lakes, we get 80% humidity. I hate it!!
@@kathilyles9765 i was at tybee Island one time in August. I thought I was going to die it was sooooo HOT!
@@Daffodils2Daisies hi neighbor ! A BIG lake separates us! Lake Michigan. It’s hot & muggy here.
Laura is the GOAT of the gardening movement
I love that you are so generous with your harvests and talents. You set a good example for others to follow. If more people would be the same, this world would be a better place. Thank you!
When you spoke about trees communicating with each other it brought to mind the documentary Judi Dench did with the BBC. It is on RUclips and is so interesting and amazing. So much information about trees through the 4 seasons. Science I had no idea even existed. You and Aaron will enjoy it, I’m sure. Watch it on your TV on a big screen. I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful it is. It is beyond description.
Is the the documentary you’re referring to titled “Intelligent Trees”? I watched that 3 times. It was so interesting!!! Totally changed the way I view forests and how I’m going to plant trees in the future.
Thx! ( googling..)
I get so much inspiration from watching your channel. Due to physical limitations I now depend on container gardening to make my space pretty, cozy and inviting. I especially enjoy learning about self watering containers. Thank you for the inspiration and education.
Had to pause on 1:30 because those Pink Begonias are putting me in a TRANCE. So stunning. Look at that garden behind you ahh 😌
My parents planted four Chinese evergreen oak trees on our property when they built their house. They are so beautiful and oh, what a canopy. They are now fifty plus years old and magnificent all year long.
Lamps in the bathroom are definitely a certain type of home thing, from what I’ve noticed. Those with more traditional homes or style of decorating always seem have one on a small pedestal table in their bathroom, but if you are more contemporary in nature or live in a modern home then, no, not common.
I inherited a house with three beautiful oaks and a giant maple. The oaks hold their leaves and drive me nuts. Once the oaks finally drop their last leaves in the spring, I then spend my time literally on my hand and knees removing the pinwheel seeds, that the maple dropped, from my landscaping beds. Awesome shade trees but a nightmare to live with!!! Thanks for inspiring me. Your videos have literally changed my life!!!
These video are awesome and never too long! Aaron, I totally get the "lines" thing about the Husqvarna BUT after three years of not mowing and absolutely no weeds...I just look out the window a giggle at the lines and say looks like a five year old cut my grass lol So worth it! Also, regarding the height of the grass....I have the smallest unit set to where I'd say my grass is about three inches high and being as we also had no rain all summer this year (unusual) and the hottest ever where Temps were in the 30 to 44 degrees Celsius all summer, I still only needed to water an hour every 5 to 7 days. My grass is so thick you can walk on top of it :) you might consider the largest unit Husqvarna sells, I believe it is gps controlled also...such a time saver and the weed control can't be beat! Just my story...you do you! I just don't want to see you guys burn out :)
Men like to mow. And they get really invested in lawns. It makes them happy.
Never apologize for a long video! It's a bright spot in my day!
What a gift to get a video today!! Absolutely loving the view around you. I'm inspired to do a new flower bed for this spring!!
Laura, Thank you for the peacefulness & the color around you is so beautiful. Can’t wait for your next video🌼🌞⭐️
DISCOURAGED ! Aphids took over my garden for a month this spring. I thought for sure they were going to kill EVERYTING and suddenly my spraying finally WON !
I love you calling it, "The Hartley." Please don't feel any need to change the way you refer to this or the new property. I love you calling it exactly what it is!
Gorgeous backdrop today, bravo!
🙏
Love y’all & my GA family. Hope everyone is feeling good today. 😊♥️🌿🌸
We are actually moving so we can have a bigger garden. I love your channel so much. I’ve been here since you moved from the town house. I found you looking for how to care for my basil plant. 😊
That's when I got hooked too!
PLEASE do a tour of the old and new! That would be amazing! One of my favorite things to watch in your older tour videos is when you would show a clip of what it used to look like. It was always such a wow factor!!
I love love your longer videos. They’re my Saturday chores jam. Pop in my AirPods and clean house or pull weeds. Makes my chores so much more enjoyable and time pass much more quickly. ❤️
Remember what you do and make in life can also be for your children and so on. They will eventually follow in those footsteps that they know made their parents happy.
Isn't it something how the cat just shows up and gets in video? Love this video. Info, respect, ideas, plans.
As my precious mom would always say, "There's a time and place for all things!" Most times for whatever reasons negative would be showing it's ugly head and she wanted to keep everything as positive as she could. God rest her sweet soul. Words I will live by always. I come to your all's channel for comfort many many times. Thank you!
Good morning from Windermere, Florida zone 9b
I didn't get to visit with you until Friday morning so I must be one of the last Friends to say Thanks for another great week of videos and recaps. You always make me want to go out and get dirty one more time 👩🌾👍🌿💚🌿
Just an idea about the HVAC for the Hartley: the money can be spent on moving the unit further away or, possibly, purchasing an upgraded (continuously variable) unit that is REALLY quiet (so quiet you can stand right next to it and have a conversation). Or both!
Nice to see that I'm not the only one having those "Fricking" moments too.
That's it every area in my garden that's going through a moment, forever shall be a scab? Erk that scabby areas omg it's perfect,
I 100% agree about having separate rooms in a home. I despise the no walls, no rooms concept. I believe rooms with doors make a home very cozy and warm.
I am so envious that you can sit outside with your cup of coffee. And the setting is beautiful. It’s still hot and thick here in Georgia and I’m so over it.
Me too! We have excessive heat warnings out! I am beginning to hate summer...the only redeeming quality of summers are the plants! I want fall!
Yes! Thank you Laura rest and peace is what I want to see and hear on this channel!
I think going down to 5 vids on the main and a recap per week during the summer and winter lulls is totally reasonable. This way you don’t feel pressured to come up with video ideas or guilty when you have to skip a day. Then come spring and fall when you’re busy you can go back to 6 on the main channel. Regardless, we’re happy with what ever you put out!
Also, anyone else enjoying today’s game of “spot the Russel”? 😹
My house caught fire. So, I'm sitting here sorting things and listening to you & Aaron. Hearing you talk, takes my mind off my situation (thank you). Laura was talking about brick-laying. And I heard both of you not sure what to call stuff that has little stones & sand. Most of the time they use ground stone or ground slate under bricks. Thanks. You're a good program to keep my mind off my sadness and pain.
