Running a household, raising kids, and all the “not-so-fun” aspects of life, on top of running a very thoughtfully produced, successful UA-cam channel… we’re the lucky recipients of this content. There aren’t many of us here that can truly understand what it takes to make it work. Thanks for all you do!
I totally agree. While the children are still so young it must be difficult to plan around their needs and then go on camera looking chirpy and cheerful, plus the physical work gardening entails. I really appreciate all the wonderful content Laura and Aaron produce. They are truly inspirational 🌺
Beautifully put, Julie. I think you speak for all of us GA fans.
Honestly no hate but I'd like timestamps on such long videos like recaps.. can make finding questions so much easier..
@@daimon3554 Agree totally. This is why I hardly watch their QA videos. Most of us don't have time to watch everything anyways. I just want to know what happened between them and Home Depot but I guess I just have to skip the whole video. Sigh.
@Garden Answer Highlights Please take this into consideration. Thanks.
Aaron is smart. None of us are getting any younger yet we never really want to think long term. Those infra changes will be appreciated for decades
I have always said that Aaron is the brains behind this operation. He saw the potential behind Laura in front of the camera and ran with it. God bless them to be able to make a good living doing something from home so they can be a bigger part of their children’s lives.

Yes, we had our yard trenched for electricity for our pond while the pond was being dug. Worked out nicely because EVERYTHING was a mess, then everything was handy.
I'm sure some people really like the diy/crafty stuff but for me the real life garden projects/happenings are where it's at! It's so inspiring and motivating. 🌿🌸
I don't care for the crafty stuff but I do prefer the gardening that we can relate to and learn from rather than the industrial sized projects that I personally cannot relate to at all. I enjoy their videos when they are about actual gardening. I am not into big machines and my gardening budget is nowhere near theirs. They also do not function as my pseudo family as I see from the comments that they do for many others; something I would personally find quite creepy if I were Laura or Aaron.
Regarding infrastructure -- I totally agree! My husband and I installed a water line to the back of our yard to our garden last year. We also installed drip irrigation in the garden. It was a big job, but we had the time to do it since we are retired, and we felt we knew what we were doing after watching your channel. After it was done, we were amazed at the difference in the ease of gardening and wondered why we hadn't considered it sooner. One of the biggest issues was lack of knowledge and confidence. After watching your channel, we realized what it could be, and decided it was worth it to try. We did all of the work ourselves and I'm very proud of what we've accomplished. 😀😀
So wonderful!!!
I’m proud of you too! I am older and have been intimidated to do that myself, even after watching Laura for years. This might be the year I get brave enough!
@@cynthiafisher9907 Go for it!!
Adding drip was a game changer for me last year. I’m dreading replacing a lot of broken lines though. The varmints were not nice over winter so I’ve discovered a lot of chewed up lines. It will be worth it though 🥰😃
2 retirees here. Moving to Minnesota . You gave me courage to do this ourselves. Thank you.
The diy projects are fun once in a while but I love watching the gardening and the process of change in your garden. The seedlings you plant remind me what I might have forgotten to plant or inspire me to try a new one. Seeing the mix of trees you are putting in now has made me look at my garden in a whole new way. A day in the life rather weeding or planting always inspires me to get out and enjoy my own garden. Thank you for sharing. Oh, I do really love the antiquing trips!
I love the DIY and the gardening. The shopping trips with 'Mom' are brilliant and hilarious. The cooking I am not so keen on...
Chad’s trench digging is some kind of special wizardry!
I hope while he was out there excavating, Chad solved “Benjamin’s Big Problem” and left him a rock-free area to dig in 😉
I still giggle and smile over ‘Benjamin’s Big Problem’. I’ve spent a few moments pondering which parent he was emulating!🤔LOLLL! Too cute
@@marysturm8526 it still keeps me laughing. Told my partner the other day in the garden that we had a “big problem” complete with Benjamin gestures. It’s now a tagline 😁!
My favorite recap video of all! Laura, as always, love YOUR love of plants and gardening and beauty! AARON, I was smiling as you explained why you chose to continue those sponsors that give you the freedom to run your business your way AND how it's your preference to support garden centers who care. My goodness! Laura, you've got such a good man. You two are so perfect together.
They are so lovely. That part put a big smile on my face. They are perfect together. Family, people and freedom over money. Well done 👏
I love having Aaron in the weekly recaps.
agree .I love getting his perspective. You can see how much more comfortable he is now in front of the camera
Thanks, Aaron, for putting yourself out there. We appreciate your perspective more than you know🙏. We love Laura but two heads are better than one! I think Laura enjoys discussing issues with you too.
Greetings from zone 5A Maine! You may not have had success with your winter sowing this year, but you inspired me to try it, and I’ve got a beautiful jug of lupine coming along beautifully. Will definitely do a ton more next year, so all was not lost. Never underestimate the value of the education and inspiration you provide. I really appreciate that you share your success as well as when things don’t go as planned.
Laura giving me a big belly laugh, "they were half off, it was destiny. It was meant for me to have it." 😆
I think this way too. Like who can argue when the stars align in this way. It was meant to be. 🥰💚
The drone footage is interesting, good job Aaron. The Hartley looks so fantastic from the sky, just beautiful.
Chad is the artisan of digger operators, so gentle.
Good afternoon, from Spain 🇪🇸 where we finally have a beautiful sunny and spring vibe day! Been shuffling the orchids and now I get to take a break, before the rest of the 'chiddos go outside! Yay for spring and yay for Garden Answer 💝
We did a full on 🛑 on our gardening, when we started to notice our 1.5 acre lot, that has an extreme slope, was completely beating us up. Up and down the hill several times a day. Dragging 200’ of hose and pushing the wheelbarrow all got to be too much. A couple years ago we analyzed that we either had to move or get serious about having things to ease the load and save us valuable time. Gator ✔️. Drip irrigation ✔️. Power Planter ✔️. This year it’s going to be a Hose Link. So thank you from Canada, for sharing these items to make gardening enjoyable again.
When I can't sleep, I pop in my earbuds and pull up some old recap episodes. Then I tuck the phone under a pillow so that it is still dark, and I listen to you two talk to each other until I fall back to sleep.
Me too!
You are so lucky to have Chad . Someone that respects your property.
Laura, you look beautiful and fresh in this video! I love your hair. You and Aaron are just so dang cute! Love the recap videos.
You both do! Like after a vacation.
Aw, I’m over the moon for you that you got your ‘too spendy’ chairs half off, just delighted for you. It’s lovely that you get the ones you really wished for and the extra feel good that you got them without the price tag. Can’t wait to see you & your Mum enjoying them.
Reminds me of your pink chairs that happened to go on sale when you finally pushed the button!
Gezz between Aaron’s abilities for detailed forethought and Laura’s natural dictionary of all things plants…I’m over the moon with this channel.
Yay, you read our comment. The kids were excited. I told my 5yrd that you said thank you. She responds, "How can she hear me?" I let her know you aren't spying (haha).
I really don't mind when your video content is "many various tasks" ; it is a visual check list of tending to needs and the "how to" to do it!
It drives home the magnitude of how much work is involved in gardening a property this big.
I love that you don’t allow the drama. And that you’re human. Haha. I wondered if you are just always so sweet to each other it’s nice to know you are human but you CHOOSE not to put that in if it gets negative. So admirable!! In this world today we all need more “whatever is pure, whatever so lovely…think of such things “ I so appreciate that this is a choice and not by accident. Yay 😀
Amen!
Laura’s looking beautiful in this recap. Shes having an extra good hair day. You have the Bridget Bardo hair😁 I know this won’t be mentioned out loud because Laura doesn’t like a fuss about those kind of things. But I want to acknowledge that your the best put together Gardner out there. I haven’t forgotten Aaron. He’s just a handsome dude period!! Have a great week guys. So much going on I’m excited to see it from video to video!!
Laura's hair looks gorgeous in this recap!
@@terryblase3234 I did notice she had a haircut. I think the shorter length is better.
What do you mean she doesn't like a fuss about those things. She cares more than you give her credit for. Never has she been on a video with her hair up or in a ponytail regardless of how hot it is or how windy it is. 🤣
Did you see Aaron when they married? He has let himself go and is starting to look rather large.
I just don't know what their appearance has to do with whether they have a good gardening channel. And for the most part they really do.
Love this. I also think her inner joy about all of things getting done is reflecting on the outside too. She looks amazing
@@lisbetsoda4874 Wow, slightly judgmental.😮
I must say I love these recap videos. Not only is the content good but the interaction between the two of you always leaves me with a smile at the end. God Bless you!!
Aaron and Laura, the reason I watch your content, and have been since 2016, is because you are authentic. Nothing ever appears staged or contrived. You're genuine in every aspect that you share and I know I can trust what you say. And, since I have no use for red flower recommendations, I feel right at home "in your garden." ~ Lisa
A camera on Aaron too! I like it. And enjoyable recap! I got a Hoselink for Christmas and have used it twice this year so far. Its 100% worth the price. SO NICE!
I love my hoselink too but find the hose will kink.
I found a similar hose at a thrift store 75% off for $17! It works great! I need to get another one, though, for my greenhouse. This one won’t be cheap, lol.
Is it possible to spray paint the hoselink plastic cover black? Easier than replacing each one, if it works.
@@annehedlund7333 It is possible, but it’s hard to get spray paint to stick to plastic. Or any paint, for that matter.
You’re so lucky to have Chad. I saw the mess that Erin (Impatient Gardener) was left with. She must have been devastated 😲!
Those people were so disrespectful of their property!
I agree!
@@stephaniestatnick I second that. Terrible!!
Same. Erin will make the best of it, but you could tell she wasn't happy about losing those beds.
Did the poppy’s you threw on the snow come up yet?
Always so funny to hear you excited about rain ☔️, I’m Scotland! We must be opposites, you guys want to cancel filming for the day and watch the rain whereas here if there’s a blink of sun and temps above 15 degrees centigrade people are out in force with shorts and tee-shirts and milk bottle leggies. Always funny to hear you excited about the rain we get scunnered (fed up) of xox
It is the same on western Oregon, about 300miles west of Laura and Aaron 😀 it has been sunny yesterday and today and everyone is out in the sun.
Can’t wait to see the Hartley floor! Fun!
Me too!
Good Morning, excited to see all the new changes. I love the family, cooking, shopping "stuff".
Aaron answer to the Home Depot question was beyond articulate and with so much heart and truth to it...thank you so much for that
Hoselink - another great Australian invention. Can you tell I'm Australian?
I just purchased my first home! 🏡I take possession on June 30th and I am so excited to start gardening, right now it’s a total blank slate and it’s super inspiring to watch you guys transform your landscape! I am totally here for everything you’re doing right now! We can get back to DIY projects in a bit 😁
CONGRATULATIONS on your new home!
Congrats on buying your first home!! How exciting!
Thank you SO much for keeping it real! Bless you!
Wow!! Just watched the drone footage and was gobsmacked at the scale. What a mess. And what incredible potential. Love following along with your projects.
Good morning from Nova Scotia Canada. I love Sunday mornings with you guys ❤️
Thank you for the vision from the drone, it showed it very well. I wasn't aware it was so extensive. Well done it will be wonderful once you have finished it all. Thank you also for all of your knowledge that you freely pass on to us all . I am in Australia and its our Autumn (fall) atm. All the best to you all.
I know you’ve said it before but today’s comment something like “ if you don’t love it get rid of it” , said so matter of fact, really helped me today. Probably 20 years ago I planted my first tree, a seven son flower...it’s my “not into gardening” husbands favorite tree in our backyard... the peeling bark, it’s structure, the white blooms, red accents later. But for 3 years it doesn’t look as healthy and actually 1/4 of it, a trunk , fell into our neighbors yard with a windstorm a month ago. I took a chainsaw, at 64 years of age lol, and cut down that part of the trunk. I’ve struggled to cut down the tree overall the last 3 years, it’s also a good screen for the neighbors. Then I saw Temple of bloom seven son flower and had hunted for it for 2 years...at least! Finally got a small one with no place to put ..unless...I pull the trigger. So I am going to pull the trigger this year, getting quotes to take down the original tree ! Thanks for reminding us that there is joy in gardening, and if something doesn’t float your boat to move on!
I think what makes your channel so enjoyable is you put up videos that you enjoy making. It inspires your viewers to get out and work in their own Gardens. Laura and Aaron keep doing what you're doing! Looking forward to seeing your property continue to evolve! Are the bulbs in your orchard blooming yet? If not, please get footage of that.
💜🎶Good morning Garden Answer.. Thank you for the drone footage. Have a great day you guys !! 💜🎶🇨🇦
Aaron is very wise and smart for thinking about things in the garden in 10 to 20 years from now, not just for one season only. This definitely will save time and money 👏
Think the porn and bots are giving some suppliers a kickback. The cop in me says...follow the money. You do such a good job putting quality videos out and then the big tech fails on their end. I love the drone shots, could you make it part of your weekly updates...such a cool way to see how the whole property is expanding and progressing. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us.
We've had a golf cart on 12 acres for years. Will never be without! We get so much more done.
Love the highlight videos and the casual chat. I'm so glad it's both of you now. I really appreciate how you make mention of your team that helps out and the contractors that do such fabulous work. I saw that floor video and it's WOW :)
you guys should find an old garden tour video and record the same angles of the new garden and put them side by side. When I look at older videos of what your yard looked like it amazes me how far it has come and how far it will go in the future!
Always enjoy your recaps and enjoy the conversations between u and Aaron ♥️
Bought the hose link and it has changed my watering to a pleasurable experience.
Chad is professional in his job. With experience he can visualize where the water lines are. He can feel(?) them. Like a nurse, with time he/she can fine veins by just feeling the veins with just her fingers, eyes closed and boom one stick and the IV line is in.
I couldn’t believe what happened to my French Breakfast radishes that I had started under my grow light. Two 72-cell trays were smashed flat by my tabby cat Pearl who thought that was the purr-fect place to nap all day long. And Pearl is, to put it politely, a bit overweight. Okay, she’s obese, and her body spread over my tender radish starts was cat-astrophic! 😔
Glad you are thinking of future needs when you do your water electric etc, no sense having to trench more than once. Looking forward to more planting videos as that interests more than seed trays. I'm a senior and am more interested in instant impact now. Last year I bought munstead lavender for 99c a pot as an experiment, wasn't sure how it would grow in Minnesota. My Bloomerang Lilac is going to be gorgeous this year, a lot of my garden consists of plants you have shown on your videos and is really starting to look very nice.
Good morning from Jamaica 🇯🇲... Enjoy your weekend.
That’s a lot of construction on your property that you’ll not regret , great job Aaron !!🌸🪴🌻🌺
Hi from Ontario Canada
Laughing since I’m more of a “you can’t make me plant anything but red flowers” kind of girl 🤣
Oh, but consider red Nemesia!
I think I can clarify what Teresa was implying, maybe . Having grown up in a greenhouse environment we seeded in rows in trays or even just scattered thickly in a tray with a vermiculite mix then put them in a heated shelving unit to germinate, once germination they were moved to a growing area that had consistent warm temperature . Then transplanted into four pack or containers ready to sell . Consistent temperatures helped everything grow evenly. Also important was a circulating fan .
Poison berry 🤣 reminds me of when my niece was younger. I made her breakfast and she asked me what kind of jelly I’d put on her toast because it was ‘dee-wish-us’. I told her it was boysenberry jam and she immediately started crying. Asking “why are you giving me poison jam?” 😂 she’s 16 now and we love to laugh about that story every time I make her toast.
It is so fun to see where your viewers live. From all over the world! How exciting!
I know what you mean. I feel a close connection to Laura and Aaron because I grew up in eastern Oregon 12 miles from where they are and still have family there. (Watching from Oklahoma now)
Aaron and Laura, that 'app' just showed up on my phone: "garden answerS' ----- I took a pause to look - and quickly DELETED that ---- when I saw the "S" on your Name................I said: NOPE.....NOPE....NOPE.....How dare he try to feed off of your excellence, Shame on him. The old boy needs to get a life. We ---- the Garden Answer Family will NOT stand for such a bottom feeder.
Love your videos such an inspiration . I don't need much motivation but boy does it get my ideas going in different directions at times. I love how Laura mentioned " like a gas fireplace " and Aaron kept right on talking almost like " I will pretend I didn't hear that". Looking forward to seeing the floor in the Hartley. I actually paused the trench video to see if I could sneak a peak!
Direct seed question. I expect the person meant can you just plant seeds in larger planters right away instead of in small and transplant to larger.
Forget the '''crafty' crap. There are hundreds of craft sites/videos/channels that we can watch. Lets Garden with Laura and Aaron!
We want to see 'Your' accomplishments/goals/family projects, on your property!
We are all watching your property grow.....step by step.
Yeah, there are enough diy channels. I'd rather see professionally-done projects. 👍
Great recap. Can't wait to see the Hartley floor. Can't wait to see all the plants going in. Have a great day!!
Hartley Floor! Can't wait! Ditto!
I thought the Blue Poppy was impossible maybe just a scam. But I also follow Flower Hill Farm and hers did bloom. Now I want to try them. Probably an impossible quest for me. 20 seed packs later I’ll still be at it.
I tried, twice so far, to grow gray poppies and no luck. The seeds come from Bakers Creek, so I know they are legit. But it has been disappointing so far.
They’re not impossible at all, just very particular in their needs. Monty Don has featured them on Gardener’s World, where he’s gotten them to grow in his garden, if you’d like to see how they look when grown successfully.
Ok, I am jealous you got rain. I am in Texas and we are behind this spring by 6".
Hahah Aaron has all the Garden Answer fans addicted to drone footage! Can't wait for the Hoselink video - I am on the verge of buying one - installation is the only thing holding me back.
I find the weekly updates so informative. Aaron has been a wonderful addition to these weekly updates! After all it is a joint venture!
Love that your floor for the Hartley came from my state of Oklahoma. I love your video's and your Beautiful Family I Iook forward to the video's each day. Love and Hugs from Oklahoma!!!♥
Am I the only one who noticed Laura's cup matches her throw pillow in the lounge chair? Now, that is cool.
👋🥰
Ha! The only thing that Russell does is photobomb your videos!
Good evening from Australia 🇦🇺
Good morning from South Texas!😁
Ha! Where I am, lavender is almost $10 a plant
Tbh, I find Google lens to be easier and more accurate than any plant I'd app I've tried.
Hooray for Oklahoma!
I’m zone 7b and the Cannas is perennial and spreads like crazy. I’ve not tried Calla lilies but I’m going to try them this year.
I garden the same zone as you here in NC. I have Cannas and Callas for many years that come back each and every year. Go for it!
When I was a kid (back in the dark ages), my grandmother had a yellow calla that came back every year. It was kind of a unicorn because, 1) it was back when any color but white was rare. And 2) we were in the same area as Laura is in, where callas are not perennial. Grandma said it was because it was planted deeper and in a sheltered area next to the house. I always thought it was a magical plant.
Hi Laura and Aaron! I really enjoyed this recap video. It's especially nice hearing more of Aaron and his thoughts on things. I really loved the drone footage! Thank you, Aaron! Thank you so much for sharing!
So jealous of the rain. North of Houston and we usually get a TON of rain in April. I think everything is behind normal. My hostas are usually up by March and they are just now coming up, we stayed colder longer, etc. I’m such an impatient gardener.
Chad is doing a great job, has gotten so much done , l know it going to be beautiful.
I’ve reported and reported these bots on Facebook that say “add me as a friend.” Facebook always says “this does not go against community standards.” It’s infuriating!
I am so grateful for introducing me to Hose Link. Wonderful products.
Great advise on long term plan for the new home we are in! Thank you Aaron! So hard to want it all now but must plan ahead- we just moved to NH! ❤️
I work at a 5 ac yard no water. Just 3 places to attach hoses. 400 ft of hose my arms look amazing by end of summer
Mice? What’s up with that. Russell and Cheddar? I’ve got a little yellow short tailed cat that would take care of that in a heartbeat. She’s also a rat and gopher killer- worth her weight in gold.
Love your channel! Great hair day Laura. Beautiful!! Jealous as gardening days for me are not good hair days 🤣
Until yesterday, I’ve only ever tackled plants and projects I’m familiar with in my vegetable garden based on videos I’ve watched on UA-cam, primarily Garden Answer projects like growing tomatoes and calendula from seed and dealing with aphids, establishing raised beds-that sort of thing, but I’ve learned so much from Garden Answer over the past few years, that I decided to try something entirely new to me this season. Yesterday, I inoculated my first wine cap mushroom beds. 😁 I was a little nervous about getting it right since we opted to do ours in container beds rather than at ground level, but it wasn’t so different from other projects I’ve done in my little garden the past few years.
Just wanted to say thanks for building up my confidence to the point that I’ve started tackling projects and crops I’ve never seen before. Not sure I’d have gotten to this point without Garden Answer. 🌻
Thank you so much for your honest answers. I love the way you and Aaron work as partners knowing one works better with some things and the other handles other things. You are so inspiring!
Good morning from Argentina Laura! You are such an inspiration!
Love the Sunday recaps! 2022 is going to be such an awesome year for us. Hartley, cut flower shed, new gardens...oh my!!!😀❤️
You are so lucky to have lavender. Zone 3 here; can’t overwinter it. It’s the only plant I really really mourn over not being able to grow.
Congratulations on getting your Hartley closer to being done. I'm so excited for you 💗
Hey Laura, you are really good with a spray paint can. Have you ever considered finding a charcoal colored spray paint and just painting your tan colored hose links?;)
No, she has been replacing them with new ones.
To stop the spam, you may know of it, but you can block certain words in your UA-cam settings. Go to Settings, community, and scroll down to the "blocked words" section, and you can block inappropriate words or phrases :)
Whoo! Oklahoma here, born and raised. So cool to me that you'll have a beautiful piece of my home state in the Hartley! 🥰😍
Better instruct your followers again on what direct seeding means, again. Lot of them just don’t get it since they don’t read any gardening material. Direct sowing = sowing directly where they will live, grow , bloom, etc. not being trans planted. So any size pot doesn’t matter. If they are not going to stay there, they are not direct sown. Not a hard concept.
If you don't love the colour of the Hoselink can you spray paint it? :)
Love love love seeing all your ideas set in motion!! It would be really cool to see some drone shots of the property “before-during-after” to show how it was, and will be? Thanks for all you do, Laura & Aaron!!
i am a paper crafter who does D I Y's all the time. and Laura is right because it does take a lot of creative time.
Live is Zone 9, I leave my cannas in the ground over the winter, no problem! Just cut back late fall and cover with mulch, they will come up in the spring when they are ready! Good luck!
