I had to laugh when Aaron said "People in Fl probably wouldn't watch us". I live in Florida, I do not own one house plant and live in an apartment with no yard, and I watch every single video you put out. I just simply enjoy everything your channel does. I honestly have learned so much from Garden Answer. I may never use any of the information but if I need an auger I know which on to get! I can not thank you enough for everything your family has given to myself and all of the subscribers. Have a happy day.
From the Philippines here. I do have plants, mostly potted and others cramming in a 3x9 ft garden. I love flowers and I wish I could grow the ones Laura does but I can't. So watch Laura, that's what I do instead.
It's the tone of Laura's voice. So enjoyable. It's the cats. You never know when they will show up. Like the time Russell was on the roof of the greenhouse. And then there is Benjamin. Pure joy every time he shows up. And in the future the little princes, Samantha Grace. Plus you lean a lot.
I live in Puerto Rico zone 12, I don't have a yard, just a small terrace with potted plants, and I also watch all their videos. I like to live vicariously through Laura and dream of someday owning a house with a yard to garden.
I LOVED your diplomatic answer to the money question; I don’t understand why people are hung up on your worth, income, spending, etc….. I’m happy you have chosen a career path that has enhanced my life!
I am in Florida and was not into gardening and found your channel on UA-cam. Because of you and your beautiful garden I have turned my front year into a beautiful garden. We put up a Picket fence and made garden beds. Now I love gardening because you shared your garden. Thank you for sharing your garden with us. I can find so many of the same plants you have in your garden and I get so excited when I find them at my garden center.
Im in Florida too, but im in the Keys south of the 7 mile bridge in Big Pine. I love growing lots of things bc of this channel. I have all sorts of stuff going on like cucumbers and key limes. And I cannot grow tulips 😂 But I cannot find lots of the things I see on here, or remember my grandmother growing in her gorgeous yard in NJ. Its either way to hot, humid, or doesn't get cold enough. I've tried and they always fizzle out after a season. But its awesome having year round green and lots of colors! 🥰🌈✌💚🌺
Good for you. This show also inspired me. I'm in high desert like Laura and Aaron their UA-cam videos have been a blessing. Especially during winter and snow.
SUCH A CLIFF HANGER! I couldn’t focus on the rest of the questions after that phone call, expecting Laura to cut the show short in order to go see the new plant shipment and let us tag along. Such discipline! Obviously she was excited about the plants since she started the video talking about it. Aaawww man! Now we have to wait😩😩😩
I am in Florida zone 9b. You may have more southern fans than you think. 😉 I have been gardening for almost 40 years here in Florida and while many of our plants are different, I still get good design ideas from your channel. Also my flower gardens on my 1/4 acre plot are not as structured as yours (mainly because of my lack of discipline, lol) but I have gotten much better at keeping up with gardening tasks, thinking through an area before planting and using less annuals and more permanent shrubs and perennials. So, to sum it up I look forward to all your videos, and you continue to teach this long time Floridian dog new tricks. Thanks!!
Ever see Laura end a video so fast? 😂 Don't blame her one bit, I would be racing down there also! Her excitement is SO contagious! Just love this family so much! 🥰
Watching this highlight this morning, I thought: I also would call every cone a pinecone. It's sort of like kleenex, tupperware, etc. (Just as long as you don't say Valentimes.....! lol) Thanks for all the inspiration and energy you send us with your videos. I'm now a gardening addict. It's a problem, lol.
Laura, not only are you my cup of tea, you are the entire pot! I have learned so much from your videos. Your have given me the knowledge and inspiration to enlarge my flower beds and yard with plants I would otherwise had never used. I love all your success and even fails (although you have few). Patiently waiting for Spring.
Totally agree!I live in South Africa,so climate and weather is waaay different. But I can't wait for a new garden answer video,because it inspires me,it teaches me that it is okey to fail some times in order to learn. I was so held back with fear of failer before I started following this channel. So greatfull for each video
I absolutely love Laura's tone of voice. Some channels I just cannot cope with the high pitched 'excitement'. Today I have watched this episode twice, reading comments in between. I feel relaxed and happy. Of course I watch for the content, hints and tips and the friendly banter. My actual gardening is limited due to age etc but yesterday I noticed some beautiful yellow crocus flowering in a neglected container. I feed my spring bulbs with tomato food when they are done blooming, it seems to help. GA is definitely my 'cup of tea' speaking of which, no time like the present.☕
Totally enjoy your posts as they cover so much from flowers to growing food to seed starting, planting, building, ups and downs in gardening. You feature your children, cats, bird feeders, floral arrangements, baking, cooking, antiquing, Andrew's garden center and decorating. Your variety is entertaining! Your personalities engaging and kind. GA is my constant joy.
note to Aaron: at least in France English gardens are viewed as not formal at all. French gardens are formal, English gardens imitate nature. but of course there are a lot of formal gardens in the UK and not formal in France, this is just the perception we have of those terms. still, thank you for your great work and interesting videos! you are right, the consistency with which you put out content and find all the time new subjects is great!
For me, a Dutch person, it's not so much an English Vs French thing, I just think of cottage Vs estate garden. But I would love to see a video about European gardens. It's often pretty different from American gardens. Edit: in fact, that would still exclude so many people, maybe a video about non-american gardens is best?
Yes cranberrybe, we think of English Country gardens more as cottage gardens here in France. I'm not French but have lived and gardened here for 30 years.
I read somewhere that frogs are an indicator species about the health of your ecological surround. Especially in our desert climates that's a huge accomplishment! When I was a girl, after a big summer rainstorm, you could hear the mountains just echoing with croaking frogs (toads really I think). Not so much anymore. But last year my sister told me to leave one area of my garden wild for the health of the rest of the garden, and I had a terrapin 🐢 show up! I caught him eating dog food on the back porch, twice. ☺️
Laura, I am the same way about not liking to wear big watches. I feel constrained. When a follower asked if you were rich, you said you were lucky. I say, you are blessed. You live a very loving, giving life and that deserves rewarding. Count your blessings!!
I had to laugh after Laura got the phone call from the garden center!! I react the same way when fresh new Spring plants arrive at my local garden center!! 🤣🌸🌿👍
I am from Florida and I really feel inspired by your channel. I have no aspirations to have a large garden, but I am inspired by your kindness and consideration that you put into most tasks.
Your excitement when you got the call about plants made me smile HUGE! I can't wait to see what pretties came into Andrews. I am Soooooooooo ready for spring.
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️ Watching you while on vacation in Mexico 🇲🇽 My sister is ready for the beach 🏝 and I’m like “Wait! I’m not done with Laura!” 😂. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I've been bed ridden with that stomach flu that's going around. Your videos are helping me look forward past my current condition and dreaming of planting season. Thank you.
We do build wooden houses in Europe. I think It really depends on where in Europe. I live in Estonia and majority of the buildings are actually made of wood.
In France it's traditionally concrete blocks but in the past 10-15-ish years there's been a brouhaha about wood houses. We had our house built (in the southern suburbs of Paris) in shaken, compact cement plaques and steel bars! 25 years ago. The insulation is better than a block house.
Woke up really early on the West coast (Vancouver, BC) at 4 am and finally was one of the first people to view. Love your channels, love you both and my love of gardening has been reborn thanks to your videos.
When Aaron said someone might not be interested in gardening cuz they live in florida i smiled . I live in florida and I started following you during the pandemic you have been such an inspiration and thanks to you i have so much knowledge now that i can say im self sufficient in peppers , tomatoes , eggplant… i even started growing fruit trees and figs . Everything you make is beautiful and you personality and charisma is attracting and i look forward to watching your videos every morning before my 2 toddlers storm into my bedroom.
Just watching this video. Someone said something about building with wood. Just wanted to tell you that in Norway and Sweden (I'm Norwegian) most houses are buildt from wood. Probably because we have a lot of trees in big forests. Denmark uses more brick because they don't have big forests. I really appreciate your chanel, I've learned so much. Thank you both 😊
I know what you mean. Have worked in landscape and garden center industry for 20 years and I still feel like a child during Christmas when plants start arriving!😁😍❤🌼🌼🌼
Even though I live in Florida you have helped me so much, just like I did not know Dahlias were perennials in my zone🤷♀️ I wish you lived here in so FL😄 I love watching you every morning. Thank you for all your information.
Hi Missy, I live in Windermere, Florida zone 9b. I have also lived in Ft. Lauderdale and up in North Florida. I am 71 and gardening since I was 20. If I can help you please feel free to ask. I, too, have enjoyed Laura for almost 7 years. 🌿💚🌿
Same, Missy. I was so excited to hear that dahlias are perennials in Florida zone 9A! And I, too, have learned so much from Laura! Love that we can all share our knowledge and experience to help others on this channel! ~Cassandra Senter (my husband, Mel, thinks I need to get my own YT sign on instead of using his. Haha!)
I have watched the recap videos for a while. I appreciate that you take the time to put the video clips into the video. It not is a refresh but will show me if I missed a video during the week.
2:34 that was an excellent question for reflection. And a very humble response! Genuinely blessed beyond measure! I love seeing other people thrive, especially when they’re doing something 🪴 ❤️. Everything (no matter the subject 🌱 🎥 ) has its ups and downs as long as there’s more good than bad!
Ha, ha! This is like old time soap operas that left us hanging, desperate to know what happens next. Don't know how I'll manage to wait for the flowering plant video. Need some color in this drab February, hurry please Laura !
Maybe I missed it, but did you guys get a new camera??? Love the video quality in this recap video. Also, Aaron's mic is phenomenal. I didn't used to notice things like this, but after watching your channel pretty much every day for 4+ years...😄☺
I live in zone 8A where we do not have as harsh winters but have horrible humidity and red clay soil. That being said the information you provide on the different plants always includes zones etc. I feel you educate us on the plants and we decide if each plant is something we can successfully grow or if the plant would take too much time and attention. The plant education, motivation and enjoyment of watching your videos is what keeps me looking for new Garden Answer videos. Your smiles and up beat personalities make your channel a joy to watch.
It has dawned on me that not all subs on Garden Answer are aware of this channel. Laura, please mention it from time to time in regular videos and Aaron, please put it in the Description box. Many thanks for all you do for us! 💐
These highlight videos are so much fun. I love the interaction between you and Aaron. Pine cones will always be pine cones no matter what kind of evergreen it comes from for me.
Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 Great review on the week. We are still having a couple more cooler, 40°'s nights and then I see Spring in our future 👍🌿👩🌾🌿👍
I have been watching you guys for over a year. I absolutely love listening to you guys. I’m in Tx so I have to rescale things to my zone but you have really motivated me to do so much more. Wish I had found your channel when I was younger. I’ve battled slugs and white flys and other bugs I had no ideas I was dealing with and you have helped me have better growth in my plants. My family always had lots of plants but never used ANYTHING to rid ourselves of the pests to keep the plants lasting longer. I also enjoy the trips antiquing. I live in an area that has many and now I go even alone. Your voices are pleasant and some people don’t have a pleasant tone to their voice. I just love love love your videos. I pray you last a good long time. The babies are so adorable too 🥰
Cindy-you are spot on! I have my passed-on m-i-l's four o'clocks which I watched get decimated every year for over twenty years. Used Captain Jack's last spring and voila! Who knew? I believe I can safely say I learn something from each video.
Good morning everyone! I leave my dahlias in the ground. I’m zone 7b-8. They come back and thrive. I even leave my gladiolus and Asiatic Lillies in. They come back bigger year after year.
Oh Aaron, everything Laura says is revenant to me way down here in Florida’s zone 10a. I’m so glad I stumbled on to your channel almost 2 years ago now. I’ve learned so much.
Oh Laura, on the note of Samantha being a climber…I’d love to tell you it tames, but in my experience with my climber son, whoa, he will scale the wall if we let him. She is so adorable and that jacket she was wearing is perfection. Love all you and your family do!
Laura if u ever need to take a day off because ur not feeling well or if something comes up please take the time off. We need you to feel better to continue making videos for us that we love so much. I cant wait to see the next video on the new fresh plants at the Garden Center.
Lol Aaron I garden in Fl panhandle BUT I devour y’all’s channel and have learned so so much!!! I really don’t think zones matter it’s still relevant and educational and just darn fun to watch!!!!😍
I live in Orlando, loads of inspiration from you guys! I just enjoy the creativity. Currently making a flower arrangement for Valentine’s Day. Laura’s arrangements have definitely given me tons of ideas and different views on structure, layers, and texture. One of my favorite UA-cam channels 😊
As an amateur herpetologist, snakes only go where there is food. So if you have a snake find out what kind they are and what they eat. If you don't want them make sure that their food is not available. Rat snakes like small rodents, garden snakes like worms bugs sometimes small fish.
We your viewers will continue to beat it in your head, that your videos are not redundant lol. Most people learn best via repetition. I've definitely have learned & remembered names of plants/trees/,shrubs by watching your videos. And how to care for them. As well as when & why times in the seasons to take a certain action. While also incorporating new things. It's great to go through so many seasons together. Repetition, repetition, repetition...... lol.
I absolutely consider it a compliment when I see certain animals setting up shop in my yard. If they are healthy- I’m more likely to be healthy. Plus - I took some if their habitats so helping out with seeds in winter seems fair.
I love watching your videos. You and Aaron are so enthusiastic about your gardening. What gets me are nosy comments. The two of you are always gracious with your answers. Thank you for making our world a better place. 💕 🪴🪱🌱
Pluses and minuses to different climates. Warmer climates have more bugs 🐛 and different diseases. In Cold climates, you have to deal with a certain amount of snow, ice, cold, but those things knock down pests.
It’s funny you mentioned that about snakes in your face… When I was a kid, I caught a snake in a creek at a campground I’d go to with my grandparents & apparently according to my Nana I put it right up close to her face and she had to pretend like she wasn’t freaked out…
Love watching you guys, I had to laugh when Aaron said people in like a zone 10 maybe wouldn't be interested watching. I'm in a zone 10b in New Zealand with a temperate climate. Still learn so much from you Laura.
Awww I love you guys 💚 your content is amazing, but honestly it's your positive outlook, authenticity and straight down-to-earthiness that keep me coming back!!! You always inspire me in my own garden which has helped me through some difficult times in past years. Thank you so much for being there 🌸🌳🌼🍁🍃🌺
When we built our house I saw several black widow spiders. I feel the same way you do about them. But a biology professor at the college near where we live said they will go away once we move in because they really don’t care people or all the activity, so far so good and that has been 22 years.
Laura, Aaron, I've been watching you two from the time you lived in your old house. You two are both such great people and I've learned so much about gardening and many other things. My yard has gone from a pile of rocks to a beautiful yard. Laura, you've inspire me so much. Thank you and Aaron for giving us so much of your selves.
Go, go, go - get down to Andrews!! Loved the video and you and Aaron’s attitude - ‘choose the battles you can fight’. Re. Dahlias, in the UK I think I am in Zone 8 but I risk leaving my tubers in the ground over winter. I do lose some in a very wet winter. It is the wet that rots them. I do periodically dig them up and sort them out and split them. I think they originate from South America. Quite often gardeners here will split the plant when there is a healthy shoot growing and carefully cut down the side of it and pot it on.
You could partner with Alexandra from The Middle Sized Garden. If you don’t follow her, she’s in England and interviews gardening experts. She also shows the different types of gardens from formal to cottage.
Hi...I will subscribe! Also, I subscribe to Johanna Bobbio in England. She is French and has a small allotment for growing food and a small home garden. Johanna's channel is wonderful!
I so enjoy the Sunday recap videos. Love the discussions. Hope you had fun with the plant delivery, and I’m looking forward to perhaps seeing some video from the unpacking of the plants. 💚💚💚
🌲🌲🌲 pine and spruce are in the same conifer family, the main difference is the size of the needle, according to professor Google. Unless you’re a botanist, no need to be so specific about names 🌲🌲🌲
Good morning from Nebraska. I really enjoy the Q&A. I don't know anything about Dahlias. I see you plant bulbs, I saw seeds, what would be the difference and would then form a bulb I would have to dig up? I have an old root cellar built off of my basement, I lay out lavender scented dryer sheet and I haven't notice any mice yet, and the spiders left. I keep editing as I have things to add. I am 69 years old and I still wear jeans. I grew up working with horses so working in a horse barn calls for jeans and I do not feel comfortable working in stretchy pants, they wouldn't have lasted with all the working we did. However, I wear boots to protect my feet. But I've worn boots too, somehow I always think of the 1500 lbs horse stepping on my foot. 🤣 Here I go again. I have looked for geranium seeds for years and have never found them.
@@YSLRD silly question here...where do I find the seed pod on a geranium. I've tried to save seeds, but for some reason I don't seem to save the right thing, or I have already lost the seeds.
The background is always so comforting. God Bless. Have you ever seen someone get so excited about a truck of plants. Even my stomach got excited for you. Bubbly .
Good Morning from 7B North Carolina! So glad I found you through Creekside Nursery videos. I think you are my West Coast sister…pockets, vans, jeans, coffee & all things pretty! I love grabbing my iced coffee and watching you on Sunday mornings! I always watch your videos through the week as I’m starting work. We are currently looking at moving so we can have more land and I’m dreaming of a future cut flower garden!!! Love how informative your videos are. Thanks so much for all you do!! 🌹🌸🌺🌻🌼
Once I had someone leave a mean comment on my Facebook page after I posted or shared something. I didn’t even know this person. I would never do that to anyone I knew let alone a stranger. It’s something that you just don’t do. So I blocked her. I can see why some kids, whose parents let them have phones and they get bullied, how the poor kids feel. I know, I felt terrible after reading what she said to me. Sometimes people are so mean in how they talk on social media. I was taught, if you don’t have anything nice to say, just don’t say anything. Sorry for you having to deal with that. You just do you Laura. Your doing great and don’t change a thing.
👋🌞Good morning, Laura, Aaron and fellow GA fans! Laura, we ALL thank YOU for having your UA-cam channel! You have helped and inspired so many of us!😇🤗😁👏 I wonder why G. Blackwell thought you were born into money? You 2 have worked very hard (especially, once you started your YT channel) to get to the point in life that you currently have earned.👏👏 It is rare, in this current society mentality, to find people that are willing to work hard for anything. Too many people just feel that they are entitled to and deserve stuff... Pat yourselves on the back! I'm with you; any cone that comes off of a tree, is a pine cone. We all have THE RIGHT to say the words we want to say!!! I am 60 years young and I will continue using the words I have said, since I first started talking, until my end of days. Potatoe/patato...😉🤣😂 Samantha Grace appearance 🥰 👋 No Benjamin appearance😢. Hugs to the kiddos. No Russell or Cheddar appearance.😢 I hope you had fun unloading the truck!!! Have a Blessed, beautiful, warm day everyone! Kimberley from AZ 🌞🌵
I live in south Florida and when I discovered you guys..I was home..why? Just like you said...personality wise, that makes a big diff. I am a very picky person....I dont watch just anything from just anyone. There has to be a connection. And I am great full I found you. I used to do gardening when my dad was alive but stopped once he passed away. I am doing it again thanks to God, you and sort of the pandemic..
Morning Laura, Have you thought about decorating for Christmas at the flower shed? If you are wanting to put candles in each window by electricity an outlet under each window is great, plus they could all be hooked up to one switch. Makes it eaiser. I had done this in my sunroom years ago, game changer. Have a happy Valentine's Day. Thank you for all you do.
For those asking about Dahlias I live in zone 9b and I leave them in the ground, some for 5 years now and they come back every year even where I have shade that doesn’t turn to full sun until late June. I hope that helps.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I live in Humboldt County in California which is 9b. My yard doesn't get full sun all day, so I wasn't going to bother putting in Dahlias. I can grow Anemones and geraniums to the point they are thugs. But now, I'm going to look into adding a Dahlia or two. 😃
Haha to the Florida comment. I live in Florida and have learned a lot from you. I love watching your videos and wish we had a Floridian who is like you. That would be perfect.

I was ready to cut off all questions n recap and head to Andrews....
Yessssss!!!! That’ll be the video I’m planning for this week! And one I’ll have to budget for!
😬 🌱 🪴 💐
I was hanging around for the “Cut to presto we’re all at the ANDREW’S!!!”...
25:24 would love to see English garden and non American gardens for inspiration 😍

Please, please do a cottage garden series. I am on a journey to make my construction grade home more English Cottage and would love inspiration.
Laura saying she can't sit still for hours and yet here I am watching my third hour of her videos. 😁

Your weekly recap videos are the best part of my week, it’s like having a conversation with a good friend.
Totally enjoy your posts as they cover so much from flowers to growing food to seed starting, planting, building, ups and downs in gardening. You feature your children, cats, bird feeders, floral arrangements, baking, cooking, antiquing, Andrew's garden center and decorating. Your variety is entertaining!

You BOTH and your family are MY CUP OF TEA❤❤❤😊
Me too Laura. I have to get in the yard. I love planting, rearranging and planning Or next season.
note to Aaron: at least in France English gardens are viewed as not formal at all. French gardens are formal, English gardens imitate nature. but of course there are a lot of formal gardens in the UK and not formal in France, this is just the perception we have of those terms. still, thank you for your great work and interesting videos! you are right, the consistency with which you put out content and find all the time new subjects is great!

I read somewhere that frogs are an indicator species about the health of your ecological surround. Especially in our desert climates that's a huge accomplishment! When I was a girl, after a big summer rainstorm, you could hear the mountains just echoing with croaking frogs (toads really I think). Not so much anymore. But last year my sister told me to leave one area of my garden wild for the health of the rest of the garden, and I had a terrapin 🐢 show up! I caught him eating dog food on the back porch, twice. ☺️
Laura, I am the same way about not liking to wear big watches. I feel constrained.

I've been bed ridden with that stomach flu that's going around. Your videos are helping me look forward past my current condition and dreaming of planting season. Thank you.
We do build wooden houses in Europe. I think It really depends on where in Europe. I live in Estonia and majority of the buildings are actually made of wood.
In France it's traditionally concrete blocks but in the past 10-15-ish years there's been a brouhaha about wood houses. We had our house built (in the southern suburbs of Paris) in shaken, compact cement plaques and steel bars! 25 years ago. The insulation is better than a block house.
Woke up really early on the West coast (Vancouver, BC) at 4 am and finally was one of the first people to view. Love your channels, love you both and my love of gardening has been reborn thanks to your videos.
P. S. Say hello to your Mom and, enjoy the plant 🪴 haul at Andrews!
When Aaron said someone might not be interested in gardening cuz they live in florida i smiled . I live in florida and I started following you during the pandemic you have been such an inspiration and thanks to you i have so much knowledge now that i can say im self sufficient in peppers , tomatoes , eggplant… i even started growing fruit trees and figs . Everything you make is beautiful and you personality and charisma is attracting and i look forward to watching your videos every morning before my 2 toddlers storm into my bedroom.
Just watching this video. Someone said something about building with wood. Just wanted to tell you that in Norway and Sweden (I'm Norwegian) most houses are buildt from wood. Probably because we have a lot of trees in big forests. Denmark uses more brick because they don't have big forests.
I really appreciate your chanel, I've learned so much. Thank you both 😊
I love seeing how comfortable you and Aaron are these days with content and life as it’s grown.
So fun seeing you get excited about a shipment at the garden center!🥰
I was watching Jenny from Creekside getting beds ready for the Daliahs you will be sending her! I cant wait to see them also!!
What brave person is watching the kiddies while you film these Q&A’s? Hope they get chocolate when you return!
Did anyone else have to rewind the part of Laura answering her phone just to hear her excitement over the truck arriving at the garden center?? 🌼🌺🌸😊🥰
Hope this helps, vernalization is for setting blossoms and stratification is for germination. Love your videos!
How informative
I know what you mean. Have worked in landscape and garden center industry for 20 years and I still feel like a child during Christmas when plants start arriving!😁😍❤🌼🌼🌼
FYI fact :if you eat a snake and you die its poisonous, if a snake bites you and you die its venomous
Even though I live in Florida you have helped me so much, just like I did not know Dahlias were perennials in my zone🤷♀️ I wish you lived here in so FL😄 I love watching you every morning. Thank you for all your information.
Hi Missy, I live in Windermere, Florida zone 9b. I have also lived in Ft. Lauderdale and up in North Florida.
I am 71 and gardening since I was 20. If I can help you please feel free to ask. I, too, have enjoyed Laura for almost 7 years. 🌿💚🌿
Same, Missy. I was so excited to hear that dahlias are perennials in Florida zone 9A! And I, too, have learned so much from Laura! Love that we can all share our knowledge and experience to help others on this channel! ~Cassandra Senter (my husband, Mel, thinks I need to get my own YT sign on instead of using his. Haha!)
@@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920 thank you so much I may take you up on that I live in palm beach gardens😄
@@missyyoder8137 We lived in Plantation from 79-96
That was an ahah moment for me too. I fell in love with dahlias on a trip to California but never knew they would grow in my Florida zone 10a
I have watched the recap videos for a while. I appreciate that you take the time to put the video clips into the video. It not is a refresh but will show me if I missed a video during the week.
My Fitbit was getting too dirty when gardening, so I now have it attached to a loop on my jeans, perfect!
2:34 that was an excellent question for reflection. And a very humble response! Genuinely blessed beyond measure! I love seeing other people thrive, especially when they’re doing something 🪴 ❤️. Everything (no matter the subject 🌱 🎥 ) has its ups and downs as long as there’s more good than bad!
Your comment was so nice that a verified account decided to steal it and post it as their own! 😮
Hope you are having a great day!! Stay warm!
Ha, ha! This is like old time soap operas that left us hanging, desperate to know what happens next. Don't know how I'll manage to wait for the flowering plant video. Need some color in this drab February, hurry please Laura !
Love the recap videos!
I am so glad I’m not the only one who feels weird wearing leggings or sweatpants as day wear. I choose jeans any day!
Wait a minute, I’m zone 10b and love this channel! Floridians love Laura! She has opened my eyes to so many different plants.
Keep consistent please. It is way more enjoyable for me personally. Really enjoy Garden Answer and Garden Answer Highlights (which we need more of).
Maybe I missed it, but did you guys get a new camera??? Love the video quality in this recap video. Also, Aaron's mic is phenomenal. I didn't used to notice things like this, but after watching your channel pretty much every day for 4+ years...😄☺
I live in zone 8A where we do not have as harsh winters but have horrible humidity and red clay soil. That being said the information you provide on the different plants always includes zones etc. I feel you educate us on the plants and we decide if each plant is something we can successfully grow or if the plant would take too much time and attention. The plant education, motivation and enjoyment of watching your videos is what keeps me looking for new Garden Answer videos. Your smiles and up beat personalities make your channel a joy to watch.
It has dawned on me that not all subs on Garden Answer are aware of this channel. Laura, please mention it from time to time in regular videos and Aaron, please put it in the Description box. Many thanks for all you do for us! 💐
These highlight videos are so much fun. I love the interaction between you and Aaron. Pine cones will always be pine cones no matter what kind of evergreen it comes from for me.
Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
Great review on the week.
We are still having a couple more cooler, 40°'s nights and then I see Spring in our future 👍🌿👩🌾🌿👍
I have been watching you guys for over a year. I absolutely love listening to you guys. I’m in Tx so I have to rescale things to my zone but you have really motivated me to do so much more. Wish I had found your channel when I was younger. I’ve battled slugs and white flys and other bugs I had no ideas I was dealing with and you have helped me have better growth in my plants. My family always had lots of plants but never used ANYTHING to rid ourselves of the pests to keep the plants lasting longer. I also enjoy the trips antiquing. I live in an area that has many and now I go even alone. Your voices are pleasant and some people don’t have a pleasant tone to their voice. I just love love love your videos. I pray you last a good long time. The babies are so adorable too 🥰
Cindy-you are spot on! I have my passed-on m-i-l's four o'clocks which I watched get decimated every year for over twenty years. Used Captain Jack's last spring and voila! Who knew? I believe I can safely say I learn something from each video.
Good morning everyone!
I leave my dahlias in the ground. I’m zone 7b-8. They come back and thrive. I even leave my gladiolus and Asiatic Lillies in. They come back bigger year after year.
Oh Aaron, everything Laura says is revenant to me way down here in Florida’s zone 10a. I’m so glad I stumbled on to your channel almost 2 years ago now. I’ve learned so much.
Oh Laura, on the note of Samantha being a climber…I’d love to tell you it tames, but in my experience with my climber son, whoa, he will scale the wall if we let him. She is so adorable and that jacket she was wearing is perfection. Love all you and your family do!
Yes I agree, going outside and looking at all the spring bulbs coming up definitely lifts my mood and takes my mind off whatever has been bothering me
I think one thing that makes you successful is your gratitude mindset. You are authentic and such a bright spot in our days.
Laura if u ever need to take a day off because ur not feeling well or if something comes up please take the time off. We need you to feel better to continue making videos for us that we love so much. I cant wait to see the next video on the new fresh plants at the Garden Center.
Lol Aaron I garden in Fl panhandle BUT I devour y’all’s channel and have learned so so much!!! I really don’t think zones matter it’s still relevant and educational and just darn fun to watch!!!!😍
I live in Orlando, loads of inspiration from you guys! I just enjoy the creativity. Currently making a flower arrangement for Valentine’s Day. Laura’s arrangements have definitely given me tons of ideas and different views on structure, layers, and texture. One of my favorite UA-cam channels 😊
Laura - you should consider the Gardening Vest from Duluth Trading. Pockets galore!!! And it’s really comfortable. :)
About the mice : a house that has three cats around does not have mice . That is why.
Lol. When my kids were small, I had 5 cats ( kept a whole litter) and fought mice til I overcame my reservations and bought D Con.
As an amateur herpetologist, snakes only go where there is food. So if you have a snake find out what kind they are and what they eat. If you don't want them make sure that their food is not available. Rat snakes like small rodents, garden snakes like worms bugs sometimes small fish.
My paralyzing herpetophobia (is that right? Lol) thanks you for the info!!
We your viewers will continue to beat it in your head, that your videos are not redundant lol. Most people learn best via repetition. I've definitely have learned & remembered names of plants/trees/,shrubs by watching your videos. And how to care for them. As well as when & why times in the seasons to take a certain action. While also incorporating new things. It's great to go through so many seasons together. Repetition, repetition, repetition...... lol.
💯‼️AGREE
I absolutely consider it a compliment when I see certain animals setting up shop in my yard. If they are healthy- I’m more likely to be healthy. Plus - I took some if their habitats so helping out with seeds in winter seems fair.
I love watching your videos. You and Aaron are so enthusiastic about your gardening. What gets me are nosy comments. The two of you are always gracious with your answers. Thank you for making our world a better place. 💕 🪴🪱🌱
Fun, fun, fun video. Can't wait to see the one from today's adventure at the garden center. 🌸🌼🌻
We’re in NY and we probably won’t get any flowers until April. I wish we could have a warmer climate and get flowers sooner
Oh me to we are up by Buffalo NY So ready for spring to break through the snow and warmer temperatures.
Hudson Valley here. It is currently snowing out. So ready for flowers 🌸🌷🌼
Pluses and minuses to different climates. Warmer climates have more bugs 🐛 and different diseases. In Cold climates, you have to deal with a certain amount of snow, ice, cold, but those things knock down pests.
It’s funny you mentioned that about snakes in your face… When I was a kid, I caught a snake in a creek at a campground I’d go to with my grandparents & apparently according to my Nana I put it right up close to her face and she had to pretend like she wasn’t freaked out…
Love JEANS....cotton, breathable, comfortable, sturdy garden wear!
Love watching you guys, I had to laugh when Aaron said people in like a zone 10 maybe wouldn't be interested watching. I'm in a zone 10b in New Zealand with a temperate climate. Still learn so much from you Laura.
Awww I love you guys 💚 your content is amazing, but honestly it's your positive outlook, authenticity and straight down-to-earthiness that keep me coming back!!! You always inspire me in my own garden which has helped me through some difficult times in past years. Thank you so much for being there 🌸🌳🌼🍁🍃🌺
When we built our house I saw several black widow spiders. I feel the same way you do about them. But a biology professor at the college near where we live said they will go away once we move in because they really don’t care people or all the activity, so far so good and that has been 22 years.
Laura, Aaron, I've been watching you two from the time you lived in your old house. You two are both such great people and I've learned so much about gardening and many other things. My yard has gone from a pile of rocks to a beautiful yard. Laura, you've inspire me so much. Thank you and Aaron for giving us so much of your selves.
I am a Floridian who never missws your show!!
Go, go, go - get down to Andrews!! Loved the video and you and Aaron’s attitude - ‘choose the battles you can fight’. Re. Dahlias, in the UK I think I am in Zone 8 but I risk leaving my tubers in the ground over winter. I do lose some in a very wet winter. It is the wet that rots them. I do periodically dig them up and sort them out and split them. I think they originate from South America. Quite often gardeners here will split the plant when there is a healthy shoot growing and carefully cut down the side of it and pot it on.
You could partner with Alexandra from The Middle Sized Garden. If you don’t follow her, she’s in England and interviews gardening experts. She also shows the different types of gardens from formal to cottage.
Hi...I will subscribe! Also, I subscribe to Johanna Bobbio in England. She is French and has a small allotment for growing food and a small home garden. Johanna's channel is wonderful!
By the way Laura I think you are the peoples cup of tea...I make myself a cuppa before each video enjoy my tea and thoroughly enjoy you and yours.
I so enjoy the Sunday recap videos. Love the discussions. Hope you had fun with the plant delivery, and I’m looking forward to perhaps seeing some video from the unpacking of the plants. 💚💚💚
I’m a jeans girl too! I can’t wear yoga pants around. Good idea to skip the Fanny pack!
🌲🌲🌲 pine and spruce are in the same conifer family, the main difference is the size of the needle, according to professor Google. Unless you’re a botanist, no need to be so specific about names 🌲🌲🌲
Good morning from Nebraska. I really enjoy the Q&A. I don't know anything about Dahlias. I see you plant bulbs, I saw seeds, what would be the difference and would then form a bulb I would have to dig up? I have an old root cellar built off of my basement, I lay out lavender scented dryer sheet and I haven't notice any mice yet, and the spiders left. I keep editing as I have things to add. I am 69 years old and I still wear jeans. I grew up working with horses so working in a horse barn calls for jeans and I do not feel comfortable working in stretchy pants, they wouldn't have lasted with all the working we did. However, I wear boots to protect my feet. But I've worn boots too, somehow I always think of the 1500 lbs horse stepping on my foot. 🤣 Here I go again. I have looked for geranium seeds for years and have never found them.
Last year she planted some of her dahlias as seeds. Then in the fall, she dug up the tubers that formed and stored them with the others.
I saved some geranium seeds from plants this year. We'll see.
@@sheilastromberger2275 thank you. I think Dahlias are so pretty and if I plant some I want to care for them correctly.
@@YSLRD silly question here...where do I find the seed pod on a geranium. I've tried to save seeds, but for some reason I don't seem to save the right thing, or I have already lost the seeds.
Try Park Seed for the geraniums
I just picked up some ranunculus corms at Costco!
Crossing fingers they’ll do well in my hot zone 8! ( 100 in bag!)
Snakes would shade under my hostas in old house! Ewe
But snakes go where food is!
Thanks for the heads up!
I garden in Florida, garden 9b, and LOVE watching Laura…I just know I have to make adjustments because of where I live.. Laura your an inspiration..
Enjoy the recap video so much!
I have color! My first daffodil bloomed today! Southwest Oregon.
The background is always so comforting. God Bless. Have you ever seen someone get so excited about a truck of plants. Even my stomach got excited for you. Bubbly .
Good Morning from 7B North Carolina! So glad I found you through Creekside Nursery videos. I think you are my West Coast sister…pockets, vans, jeans, coffee & all things pretty! I love grabbing my iced coffee and watching you on Sunday mornings! I always watch your videos through the week as I’m starting work. We are currently looking at moving so we can have more land and I’m dreaming of a future cut flower garden!!! Love how informative your videos are. Thanks so much for all you do!! 🌹🌸🌺🌻🌼
Welcome Kyle! Glad to have ya with us at The G.A.FAMILY🖐💃💚🕺 I love Jenny& Jerry Also‼️‼️
I am in Florida and I found Supertunias bubblegum. I was so excited
Once I had someone leave a mean comment on my Facebook page after I posted or shared something. I didn’t even know this person. I would never do that to anyone I knew let alone a stranger. It’s something that you just don’t do. So I blocked her. I can see why some kids, whose parents let them have phones and they get bullied, how the poor kids feel. I know, I felt terrible after reading what she said to me. Sometimes people are so mean in how they talk on social media. I was taught, if you don’t have anything nice to say, just don’t say anything. Sorry for you having to deal with that. You just do you Laura. Your doing great and don’t change a thing.
Amen!
You two are my cup of tea!!!!
👋🌞Good morning, Laura, Aaron and fellow GA fans!
Laura, we ALL thank YOU for having your UA-cam channel! You have helped and inspired so many of us!😇🤗😁👏
I wonder why G. Blackwell thought you were born into money? You 2 have worked very hard (especially, once you started your YT channel) to get to the point in life that you currently have earned.👏👏 It is rare, in this current society mentality, to find people that are willing to work hard for anything. Too many people just feel that they are entitled to and deserve stuff... Pat yourselves on the back!
I'm with you; any cone that comes off of a tree, is a pine cone. We all have THE RIGHT to say the words we want to say!!! I am 60 years young and I will continue using the words I have said, since I first started talking, until my end of days.
Potatoe/patato...😉🤣😂
Samantha Grace appearance 🥰 👋 No Benjamin appearance😢.
Hugs to the kiddos.
No Russell or Cheddar appearance.😢
I hope you had fun unloading the truck!!!
Have a Blessed, beautiful, warm day everyone!
Kimberley from AZ 🌞🌵
I live in south Florida and when I discovered you guys..I was home..why? Just like you said...personality wise, that makes a big diff. I am a very picky person....I dont watch just anything from just anyone. There has to be a connection. And I am great full I found you. I used to do gardening when my dad was alive but stopped once he passed away. I am doing it again thanks to God, you and sort of the pandemic..
Yes to an English Garden Series!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Morning Laura, Have you thought about decorating for Christmas at the flower shed? If you are wanting to put candles in each window by electricity an outlet under each window is great, plus they could all be hooked up to one switch. Makes it eaiser. I had done this in my sunroom years ago, game changer. Have a happy Valentine's Day. Thank you for all you do.
As to Aaron's comment, I live in FL, and Laura has been my inspiration even if we are in totally different time zones. 😂💖
For those asking about Dahlias I live in zone 9b and I leave them in the ground, some for 5 years now and they come back every year even where I have shade that doesn’t turn to full sun until late June. I hope that helps.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I live in Humboldt County in California which is 9b. My yard doesn't get full sun all day, so I wasn't going to bother putting in Dahlias. I can grow Anemones and geraniums to the point they are thugs. But now, I'm going to look into adding a Dahlia or two. 😃
Haha to the Florida comment. I live in Florida and have learned a lot from you. I love watching your videos and wish we had a Floridian who is like you. That would be perfect.
Laura, you were just beaming when you got the call that the plant truck was in! Like a kid on Christmas Day!!! 🎁🎁
