    I was watching season 2 of Garden Answer today to take my mind off of some bad news, I did a double take when I saw another Garden Answer video pop up. I think that maybe God sent another video to cheer me up. 🎃🍁🍂💚🙃

    I was very nervous watching you worried that a gopher would jump out in the sweet potato area. You had a great harvest, and sweet potatoes are such a healthy option.

  • @sherylemoore8626
    @sherylemoore8626 11 місяців тому +28

    So glad the gopher only chose accommodations and not the "eat all you can sweet potato buffet!" So nice to have help, many hands make light work, especially when they are good friends. Interestingly, watching you begin to dismantle the cut flower garden stirs some excitement for hot tea and January garden planning! You are my inspiration.

    Laura I love how wholesome you are even when you’re upset. “Rotten gophers!” This is why I can’t make gardening videos. My disappointment is marked with much more colorful curse words. Although, I have started saying “Mercy” now because of you. #BeMoreLikeLaura!

    Hello GA Friends ~
    First, FYI, MAHON is pronounced MAN (according to family members with that last name).🙂
    So happy to see their Seattle friends helping out. Hearing Laura say how their assistance shortened the time required for the work brought to mind: MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK👍
    Adorable, affectionate & obedient Russell loves his loving Laura-Mom! 💞😻
    Laura's demonstrated work ethic & creativity is so inspirational. 🙌🌲🌷🌳🍃
    Happy November, y'all!🦃🍂🍁

    We live in Cleveland, Ohio and somehow I get the weather you are having around the day you post your videos. I just lost my first dahlia’s to frost today! I got the dahlia’s specifically because of your dahlia tour of 2022, probably one of my all time fave videos you’ve done!!! Something about the beauty and variety of those flowers makes me want to cry. God is a master creator! The wonder and beauty He has given us through flowers; so much treasure I would have never discovered without your videos! Thanks for being my guide to everything beautiful in the Garden! & for tipping me off to the weather! ❤😊

    I was watching GA on the big TV and my husband came in while Laura was pulling back the sweet potato vines and he said, “man she doesn’t mess around- she’s rough in those things”! But then he sat and watched 2 more videos with me! Laura doesn’t mess around - a very determined person!!

    I have a friend who eats the sweet potato that develops from the decorative sweet potato vine we grow as an annual. He says it tastes quite a bit like the ones we grow as a food crop. Makes sense I guess!

I think about what I can plant that can be used for projects throughout the year, and using flowers, cones , and anything else that is visually interesting. I just read somewhere today that dahlia tubers are edible and quite delicious. Have you ever heard of this or would you be willing to try it? You go first!

    Laura and Aaron, the larkspur that self-seeded can be categorized as a "cool flower". I grew seedlings last July or so and put them out in the fall, even some in November, zone 5b. The plants came back in spring and grew very tall! There's a popular book called Cool Flowers.

    Hi Laura, I live in the UK and have an unheated conservatory, can you tell me what house plants will do well over winter and survive really cold snaps. I found your channel during lock down and have been hooked ever since. You've inspired me to try new plants and projects. We've built a greenhouse this year, a raised vegetable bed we've put in brick pathways and next year we're tackling the patio. My husband laughs everytime I come to him with yet another Laura/Aaron project I want to do. ❤
