I need to tell you that after the death of my daughter I started to suffer with servere depression, I could not even get out of bed for a very long time. Discovering your channel two years ago, your posts have given me the motivation to get outside and revamp my garden. I receive so much joy from seeing things grow and now I am able to smile and really mean it. Laura and Aaron you do not know what you have done for me, saved my life almost. Also the plants you have introduced to me are such a lovely surprise, Hostas Heucheras and tiarellas are not common plants grown here in Melbourne Australia. I love them so much. Thank you Laura, I will always be so grateful to you for helping me get my life back.
Angela, so sorry to hear of your troubles, glad the gardening is bringing you some peace and contentment. I’m sending positive thoughts your way from my garden in Minnesota. Take care.
Gardening gives so much happiness
Another Minnesota viewer sending prayers your way. I admire your courage in restarting your life and in sharing. God bless you and your garden.
Laura should definitely read this comment...and post in next Highlights... I doubt she has the real grasp at how she affects people's lives...such an inspiring story...
In the words of Audrey Hepburn ‘To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.’ May you continue to find Joy and Peace in your garden.
Re the comment about editing....who else would love a bloopers video? ✋😁
Me me me!!!
I've wanted this for a while!
Fo sho
Yes!!!
Would love it!
I love it when you two have conversations during the videos. Your relationship is a beautiful thing.
Laura, when you say that you didn’t go to school for garden design you’re ignoring the years of “schooling” that you got growing up and working at your parents garden center. And then you built an incredibly successful UA-cam channel with over a million subscribers. You’re probably more experienced in practical landscape garden design than most working landscape designers. Don’t sell yourself short.
You always give credit to Aaron for handling the technical side of your channel, but everything else? That’s all you, my friend.
Amen!
Very true . This lady Laura Excels most landscapers
Perfectly said! 🤗
I truly believe Laura’s inspiring talent is a special gift from God! And, I am
again blessed! Thank you Laura and Aaron for teaching us along the way!
I’ve learned so much about ALL THINGS GARDENING! You inspire me
time and time again!!! Thank you both
and May God continue to watch over your family.

I understand what she means, though, as far as needing to see something as it's developing in order to know what she wants to do next. I am the same. I'm not nearly nearly as experienced as Laura, but I've been asked a couple of times to give garden design advice to people, and nope. I *could* do it. But not well and not enjoying it. So, I don't see it as her selling herself short, more just knowing what she likes doing and is good at.
Laura to Russell: you can stay right here but I can’t have you all up in my business
Russell: I assure you, Laura, you can.
I love when Ken puts in silly little things when he edits. This past week he wiggled the flower tag when Laura couldn't remember the name of a plant, made me LOL.
I loved that too! I think those little bits of light-heartedness really add to the charm of these videos.
Agree, I literally laughed out loud at that. The best.
I noticed that too. Very funny!!!!
Made me chuckle too ha ha x
What video was that! I missed it! 😂
Russell in the beginning of this video "Excuse me, Excuse, EXCUSE ME MOM IT´S RUSSELL TIME" 🤣
I live for Aaron’s input and your conversations throughout the video
Quick thought on the merch. Instead of selling the actual 5 gallon buckets, maybe you could sell a vinyl wrap that we can buy and put on our own 5 gallon buckets? That way it wouldn’t be so expensive to ship but we can still romance the ordinary. 😊 Just a thought.
Excellent suggestion!
My thought as soon as buckets were mentioned. Maybe a canvas insert/liner that has divisions/pockets for tools, etc. And maybe a plain version, or one with limited pockets. The canvas lip would be outside the bucket and have the Garden Answer logo!
I'd buy it
Or a big sticker might work too
I would buy that without hesitation! Make it waterproof too.
Russell is basically a toddler saying “Mama, mama! Look at me!”
Russell is the 3rd child!! Lol🐈
Lol
Too bad they threw him out :(
I think he likes shooting her by her soothing him!
Russell has chosen Laura ... she belongs to him lol
I love your ability to communicate to each other . Do you know how rare that is between men and women? It’s so refreshing. I’m so glad to watch a family so enjoying their life.
I was also not allowed to have a Nintendo or any game console growing up. I hated it at the time because "all my friends have one!" but I look back on it now and I realize it was such a blessing from my parents. I spent my childhood days running around our farm and learning all about plants and animals from my dad (hearing the memories he had from growing up on the same farm.) I know now I was so lucky and I have wanted a small farm of my own since I was 14. Any child who gets to experience life in the country is truly blessed. There is nothing else like it in the world!
How do you romance a 5 gallon bucket?....Slap a large sticker or decal on it! I'd totally buy that merch!
Good point! Maybe just sell the garden answer decal or sticker and we can put it on our own buckets!
@@Madisondmclean I would totally put something on my car window too
Ha! Yes, car windows and reusable water bottles and so many other things!
I’d put a Garden Answer sticker on my buckets! I wish they could do GA kneeling mats!
@@Madisondmclean great idea!!
I gardened for the first time today because of you. && i want to hug Russell. :)
Isn't Russell the best?
I want to hug Russell too. Orange kitties are the best.
Love your comment on the childhood memories. We DID live in a very imaginative and magical time. My Son, 16, is jealous and wishes he lived in the 70's/80's before technology and social media. Barefoot, forts, digging up moss and creating frog houses with sticks and grass. oh to be back there....
Someday it would great for you to introduce and interview the other cast of characters like Ken & Paul and the other behind the scenes people.
Great idea! The Garden Answer Family.
Agreed, I would enjoy this as well.
“Why waste your money on annuals if they never grow back?” Why waste your money on specialty coffees, you drink it and it’s gone. Why waste your money going to the movies, you watch it and that’s it...done. Why do we do a lot of things if they aren’t forever? Because, they make us happy!
When you drink specialty coffee, it is so hard to go back. We loved it so much that we started selling specialty coffee!
Exactly.
Well said. Kudos.
Why get your hair cut, it will just grow again.... why wash the dishes as they will just get dirty again... why make your bed..... Lol!
It's called living life. 😊
You can make Garden Answer decals in various sizes so I can stick them on my garden tools, cart, potting tray, plants.. (lol 😆). It would also be cheaper to ship, especially internationally!
I agree that would sell like hot cakes 🤣
Thanks a GREAT IDEA!!! Yes please!!
It's time for the Laura and Aaron show. Your chemistry is better then any scripted TV show. The gardening version of I Love Lucy. Plus I get to learn and relearn about the garden again. Just know that your followers love and appreciate your family. Thank you so much for brighten our days.
I love how he lays there until its GO time! "Hey guys, how's it going?" = "ACTION!" in Russel's head lmao.
you need to sell stickers with your logo so we can romance our own buckets
I want a Russell!
Once you're a gardener you will always be a gardener. I'm a lifetime gardener and a retired florist. I'm 71.
When I meet someone who is getting married the first thing they say is, "Here's the flowers I want, what do you think?" Or visit someone and they show you their Garden before you meet the family!🤣
You will always want to see and compare 🤗
Awww that sweet polydactyl paw patting on Laura melted my heart!!
Russell loves his Mom.🐈🐾❤️🌸🌺🌸🌺🌺
Oh...I just love Russell so much.....He's such a sweet kitty.
This! ❤️❤️
Bird shaped boxwoods would look so magical as the entrance to a “secret children’s garden” just an idea 👩🏻🌾🥰👩🏻🌾🥰
Not if you read " The Shinning " by Stephen King 😱😲
🤭😵😀
Yes!!! Love that idea
@@dryb3301 lol 😂
It’s because you are genuine good people why we love you guys
Laura, you have mentioned placing a path to a secret garden...you can make paver stones with kitty paw impressions from Russell and Cheddar. That would build a great memory for Benjamin and SG.
Price of lumber went up astronomically!! Someone will come within minutes just for the lumber
Hyper Inflation is real!!
At the age of 70 I am inspired by your channel to plan my gardens with the assumption that “next year” my gardens will be even more beautiful. I truly believe there is always room for another plant. My husband says I am a plant junky. I say “oh yeah!” Blessings to you and yours.
For the 5 gallon buckets...maybe a big, cute, Garden Answer sticker? Postage stamp shipping.
Bumper stickers!!!!
This is a great idea!!
Yes! Logo stickers!
This is exactly what I was thinking. We need to be able to put a big sticker on our buckets!!
I just love how Russell persists in showing you how much he needs your love and attention.
0:53 It's super cute that you and Aaron think you've only got two beautiful children when you guys actually have 4 🤭❤
Aaron's reply of "that's like a classic buying something without knowing how you're gonna use it " hurt me to the core. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mashin' my corn.
Do Garden Answer Vinyl stickers! Then she can put a sticker on her bucket! 🤣
Or on anything for that matter!
My daughter said to me today that she doesn't know how I grew up without the internet. I was an 80's child and replied that we used our imagination and had so much fun outside. So sad that teens and young adults spend most of their time watching other people live their lives on the internet. Not you guys though. This is educational and entertainment all in one. Because of you two I continue to get compliments on my garden. Keep doing what you're doing. Don't change and some viewers who take things too seriously just need to lighten up.
Awwwww Russell wants attention and to be in the video too. Gotta love him
Love Russell❤❤❤
I grew up on an South Dakota farm. That being said I have to side whole heartedly with Aaron on the sunflower debate. I doubt anyone who likes sunflowers spent every summer walking several hundred acres of soybean fields cutting them down with a machete. Way to go Aaron! Keep up the good work! 😄
I can so relate to your farm kid stories. Hot wire fences, bulls etc. My daughter thanks me often that my grands have the chance to grow up here on our farm like she did. Climb trees, ride horses and ponies, milk goats and have a beautiful garden. My granddaughters go each day and pick strawberries and eat straight from the garden. We are blessed for sure!
Love the highlights! Thanks so much!
Garden Centre Employee: "okay sir. These red flower will go great with this orange and white gravel, also grab a garden gnome on your way out, there's a discount'
Me: 'Sorry buddy, Lemme go consult Garden Answer first 😏"
🤭
You know what they say: Find something you love and you'll never work a day in your life. That's what you and Aaron are doing.❤
Oh no!! Weekly recap!!! Am I the only one who occasionally missed a daily video and when she sees the recap, runs over to the other channel and gets all caught up and THEN watches the recap video??? It's like reading a series book out of order... it's just not right!!! 😂😂😂 Russell.... Mom, Mom, Mom, MOOOOOOOOOM.... I love you!!! Now pay attention to me!!!
I love gardening and love my cats, so fell in love with this channel after seeing Laura’s cats follow her while gardening.
How about some water proof / UV proof stickers for our 5 gallon buckets? That would be way cheaper to ship!
This is such a good 💡 idea!
I would slap a garden answer sticker on more than just a bucket!
I'd love to have a Garden Answer T-shirt with "Romance the Ordinary" on either the front or back of the shirt.
@@beachseeker634 me too!
Here’s a suggestion for “Romancing the ordinary” 5-gallon bucket: you design a fabric tool caddy that attaches to the bucket for your merch. The customer buys the caddy from you and buys the bucket at their local bigbox store.
Tht cat cracks me up when mama talks he has to be the center of attention
30:18 Aaron is totally going to turn into a lawn nerd. Sand leveling is where its at. Watch out for a reel mower to make its way home before long. Good on you Aaron, there are literally dozens of us. :)
Russell reminds me of our puppy. She thrives on attention and will just quietly sneak into our lap. She even tiptoes down the hallway to our children's bedrooms ,so as not to get caught because she knows she is not allowed into the bedrooms. 😂😂Who says pets can't have personality?😄
Someone who has never had a cool pet! Pets definitely have personalities.
Russel is a "he" 😅😅
@@oishd6077
I think the "she" the commenter references is the dog and not Russell. 🤣
@@mariankay6482 ohh shit ! 🤣Sorry! Here's today's exhibit for "not reading properly and jumping to conclusions" 😅
@@oishd6077 No worries! It happens. ❤️🤣
I watch the video once to hear Laura and once again to just see Russell.
I love how you are so laid-back and aren't bothered by your cat coming up to visit you in the middle of making this video! I think that's probably one of the many reasons we love tuning in! 😁💖Your a down to earth lady and we can't help but love that about you! 😊Big thanks to the both of you for all your hard work put these videos together for us! 💞 AND... for your inspiration and information!!!
LOVE IT❣️👍
Add all the funny moments when editing we love them!!! I still remember the one time mail time video where there was a paper butterfly in one of the cards 🤣🤣🤣
I watch your channel first thing in the morning before I get out of bed 🛌 so much so that when my dog hears "Hey guys how's it going!?" he gets up and walks to the door because he knows I'm awake ⏰
Russell is just like my cats! Hahaha!!! "Are you using this computer? Let me walk on it." "PET MEEEE!!!!" "Fine I'll leave."
I know that you don’t really need garden design assistance, but Julia on Y Garden has one of the best series on garden design that I have seen. Even though I’ve gardened for decades, her logic and the steps in her process inspired me to rethink my current property and make some fun changes. I still garden like you do, putting plants wherever I’m inspired to put them, but now, have a better overall design for the whole property.
🥰I enjoy Yulia, too-I think Erin at Impatient Gardener recommended her to us. Erin and Yulia are both so kind, informative and gracious like Laura and Aaron. 💜🌷💕🌷💜💕
@@deezahm9143 they really are, I always watch Erin when I’m really tired, I find her soothing.
Omg I want a Claus collab! I’m obsessed with him and the way he trains his roses.
I have loved houseplants and gardening all my life since a child with my Moms garden and flowers. My guy is new to it and watching your videos together has educated him about plants and he goes to Garden centers and nurseries with me and spots the Proven Winner pots faster than me. Such joy...♥️🙂 Just to let you know we bought and planted one Autumn Blaze Maple Tree on our 5 acres and 5 Limelight Hydrangeas just because of you. I can’t stop smiling🙂💗Thank you for your information , inspiration and love of gardening... He built 3 raised beds for vegetables this year and looking forward to more. I am so grateful for you and your inspiration. 🙂Thank you Aaron and Laura for sharing your life and experience. My all time favorite UA-cam channel for over 5 years. I love every video. Thank you for everything it means a lot. Loving you from zone 8 North Texas🙂💗 You are
Living the dream with your property and your parents garden center. So amazing!!!
Dang! It’s now 1:40 in the morning and the video is coming to an end. I have NO self-control when there Is a new video. I ‘ll pay for it in the morning, but sleep wouldn’t come knowing so much fun is in the que. Thank you for being such a positive part of my day.
I fell asleep watching the video of your last garden tour at your old place. Woke up to turn the TV off only to find out you just posted a new one. I guess I have to stay up for a bit longer. LOL
Aaron, could you pilot the drone under the canopy of Laura's parents' garden? Might be like playing on hard mode but I bet the higher view would be amazing! Thanks for the great videos :)
It'll be like playing a game on Ninetido!!!
Custom seed mixes would be fun merch.
Hi I’m not sure if this will get to you or not but Ms. Carlene Thompson , you can go to your local grocery store, (in the bakery department) and ask if they have any buckets that they would like to get rid of. Most of the time the bulk frosting they get comes in 5 gallon buckets, they are food grade and free. You can spray paint them or cover the outside with fabric. Just make sure you drill some holes in the bottom like any other bucket.
Our local grocery store's bakery lets us get frosting buckets at no charge. We just have to clean them.
We get ours from the ice cream parlor. They put them out free for the taking.
Auger tip. To prevent expense of multiple big augers, I use a 4”auger and drill 3 holes next to each other in a circle. Those big drills are pricey so I save twice. Once for the auger and again on the industrial size drill. Wish I’d had one of these years ago. They are a dream come true.
Great idea to do three holes but with the smaller auger sort of like Laura was saying it also fluffs up the edges so that the plant doesn't exactly fill up the hole.
Absolutely love the interaction between the both of you during these videos, it shows what a great marriage you have, and it’s a joy to watch! 🌿🌸🌿
You can sell bumper stickers for people to stick on cheap buckets🤗
First gotta love Russell and this was the best Russell ever. He made me laugh. Second I loved the reminiscing about growing up. I’m old enough to be your mother and that’s how I grew up..outside making my own fun...sad that most people younger than you can’t imagine the joy of that kind of childhood. Oh and yes, I’ve been laid flat by running into an electric fence....man did that hurt! Lastly, I worked at our local Master Gardener plant sale today and met a women wearing a Garden Answer t-shirt and Vanns just like yours. I immediately made a new friend. I need to get my t-shirt ordered ASAP! You are such an inspiration...not to mention the fuel to my plant buying and quest for a beautiful garden. Thank you. ♥️🪴🪴🪴🪴.
First time commenting here and just wanted to say that this video had me laughing a lot. You guys are great. Thank you for the laughs! Being chased by a bull as a little girl certainly sounds magical! 😂 Many blessings to you both. 💕🪴🌷🌹🌳
Russell's mitts pawing Laura for attention. Too cute.
I love the style of this Highlight. It felt like such a natural conversation, with you and Aaron equally participating. Also, you gave us all a better glimpse of the both of you --- how you grew up, your thoughts and feelings on different things, with the both of you sharing your opinions on how things are different today than they were when you were younger. It was very interesting and heartfelt, unrehearsed, and candid. That is what makes your channel truly the best. Not only do we learn about gardening, garden design, irrigation, equipment, project management, etc., but we get to escape for a little while and spend time with an extension of our own families. Thanks for providing wholesome, family oriented education and for being there every day for your viewers.
Russell is the coolest garden cat!
OMG!!! Aaron, you cracked me up! Todd Rungrun... ❤️😂🤣❤️
Horray for Ken. I didnt even think to consider that he adds the music. I noticed it too. Killin it! Love u Ken.
Also ps again and again, please do a contest so i can win a garden answer sweatshirt. Mine is falling apart. I vote for full shade balcony containers contest, since thats where im at right now, and im pretty sure i will win!
Love to u and yours. This channel, your family, gives me hope and smiles "almost" every day (sad when u dont have one.) Thank you for ur kindness and joy. We need it.
I had 58 3 gallon sprinters from Creekside nursery we purchased the big auger from Proven winners and the drill suggested 20 v hammer drill. I am 69 and love it! We have red clay and it fluffs the soil when dry. Great purchase.😁
Russell proves that it's not just females that are clingy and want attention! 🤣💜
Speaking of the internet, everything in moderation. But yes, I grew up long time before you and spent every daylight hour outside playing. Drinking from a waterhose and the street lights coming on was our cue to go inside. There was a closeness with your neighbor back then. Not as much violence and conflict. Oh, for the good Ole days! 🥺😊
Yes. I told my son the other day I wish he could have grown up in the environment I did. I ran the street until dark care free. All our neighbors were Friends
Make a big vinyl Garden Answer sticker meant to go on our own five gallon buckets!
Oh my word! You're discussion about doing landscape design just spoke to me. Like you, I do it at an "amateur" level for my husband's landscaping company and while I actually enjoy it, I definitely know the frustration of designing something and then the customer (who had no idea what they wanted in the first place) wants to change things all around or requests things that you're sure are going to look a mess. Obviously I love watching your garden evolve and get so much knowledge and inspiration from you, but I also love how relatable you are. Thank you for always being so authentic. I love you guys.
I know “Garden Answer “ stickers!!! It would be awesome on your car/suv or a five gallon bucket!!!! You can do it yes you can!! But make a ton they will sell out fast!
This was a wonderful video Aaron and Laura. It’s like listening to your grandma telling stories of their childhood. Thank you so much for sharing your “real” life with us along with educating us in the process. I never tire of watching your videos. It’s like chatting with a good friend about our passions. This was a wonderful nice, long chat. Thank you
I love Russell so much! He’s so sweet! 🧡🐱
I have dicovered the older my husband and I get the less TV we watch and the more UA-cam videos are watched in order to learn things we have always wanted to do. I feel TV while it can be funny and entertaining it's also toxic. So thankful for your gardening channel and so much fun to hear how it all began by wanting to edit a video. Lol!
“My parents didn’t let me have a Nintendo!” LOL 😂 Then Laura: “That’s such an Aaron answer!” LOL 😆
so funny about the nintendo!!!
Love how you get distracted and get of path, it's so like me. Russel always throws you off and for me that is way you connect so well with us! It's perfectly imperfect and that in itself is perfection, I don't know if it makes sens but I just absolutely love it! You grew so much with your vlogs, actually both of you and your mom is so much more comfortable and being herself now.....really fun to watch! Thank you for that and thank you for not being perfect because none of us are! God bless you! Love you guys❤🤗❤🙏
I have to contain my impulse to watch this now....something to look forward to in the morning 💃
It's a hot, steamy day in southwest Oklahoma. I'm off today and am itching to get out in the yard. Alas, I lasted to 11am before I melted. Took shower and a nap (yes a luxury) then started watching your past videos. Thx for keeping my love of gardening fresh.🤗
Can't wait for the Mother's Day garden tour of your Mom and Dad's garden. Great time for a generation picture with your Mom, you, Samantha Grace and sisters.....just a thought. Love the ones over the years we do in our family of all the girls or guys. Happy Mother's Day
My cat does the same thing while I’m working! It’s just love!!!! It’s awesome how you and Aaron play so well off each other. Thanks for keeping it real. Feels so much like your part of my family. A notification popped up in my phone that this video had been posted while I was in church. It was so hard to wait to watch! Please keep sharing. Love to all!
0:54 Russell wanting all of Laura's love 💕😁
A midnight post? Ok!
Every time I see that clip of Laura digging up the tree and falling on her bottom I giggle madly
I would LOVE to see a Garden Answer Inspiration video where you feature photos that others have sent in (similar to the greenhouse video). I have SO many!!! 🌺
You guys are so fortunate to have so many good people around/helping you!
Love watching the progress of everything. Just a thought about the 5 gallon bucket comment. It would be awesome for you to design a sticker or decal to go on buckets with your logo or quotes such as "romancing the ordinally". Just a thought and much easier to ship!😉
Yes a long video!!! Thanks guys 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Aaron "Hopefully we are cultivating the good side of the internet right now." YOU ARE!!!!! Thanks...you two are the best of the good side of the internet...inspire and educate!
That comment about connecting around the country and countries actually brought tears to my eyes. 😭♥️👩🏼🌾🌺🐝
I love formal garden too. But I absolutely look forward to Garden Answer. I love the communication between you two. Love It!
You may not be able to “Romance the Ordinary” by shipping a 5 gallon bucket, but you COULD sell merch decals that people can put on a 5 gallon bucket, right? 😊
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! Lol. The animal children are more needy than the human children😂 I’m a patio gardener but I’d love to see an auger video.These videos are so awesome. Thank you! I think it would be super helpful for those of us who are visual. I love the interaction between you and Aaron. The perfect juxtaposition and balance.
Totally agree with Aaron's view that you guys are the positive side of the Internet!!! What a great way of describing it. If there were only videos like yours available, the Internet would be a truly wonderful and magical place. I love every minute that I can spend with you in your garden through UA-cam so I consider it a blessing. Loving watching all the changes going on at the moment but soooooo glad it's not in my front garden. Feel for you with the wind as Cape Town is known as the Cape of Storms so we also have lots of wind!
Russell is just... the paw on mommy's chest... 😍 oh so sweet! Thank you for the Q&A. Always lots of good content.
