Russell on the kneeling pad brought back nice memories, mycats used to do the same. I wish Laura would take 2 kneeling pads, 1 for her and 1 for the kitties.
I love that you care for the birds! We do as well but have squirrels who compete!! Wonderful to help all creatures in the wintertime --- and anytime. Douglas looks just like our cat -- love him!
I’m glad you take care of the birds and the squirrels. So many people chase the squirrels away and they’re just trying to get through the winter like everyone else.
Funny to watch this video when yesterday “ Wednesday “ I was out front cutting things back and loving my day able to be outside in the yard working and enjoying every minute of it! No rain, mild temperature, just glorious! And in DECEMBER????!!!!! I was loving life! I thank you for the love I have for days like that! You have taught me everything I know about gardening! A huge thank you from this 65 year old lady Laura, old dog, new tricks! God bless! ❤
The way Laura feels about sunshine in this video is exactly how I feel all year long living in Ireland 😅 I’m just living vicariously through these videos and wishing for my own greenhouse in the sun someday 🥰
Did you see Douglas in the flower pot by the house when you cut back the grass? Funny guy! Nice to see what is still standing in your garden at this point.
Thursday couldn't come fast enough! I watch your videos every day (even during work shhhh) and you deserve to take every day you want/need to off, but just know some of us are just WAITING for you to come back lol
the serrated edge of a hori hori knife is perfect for cleaning up gross dayliliies and hosta in the fall. Thanks for giving me something so joyful to watch every morning. You are a gift!
Love your positive happy attitudes and the family vibe and kitties.. Douglas being his cheeky self and Russell showed up for a stroke awwwhh .. perfect sunny day
Ham and pineapple pizza is my husband's favorite pizza, we use flour tortillas as a crust, super thin and crispy ... Much less expensive than pizza crusts. I could just sit in the Hartley with a hot beverage on a sunny winter day , it's looks so lovely 🌹
A close lady friend of the family, had climbing roses along one side of her house and they climbed under here siding and those branches produced flowers all winter long. It was beautiful after snow fall the dark house, bright pink roses and white snow
It's so nice to have a sunny day in winter! The pizza making reminded me of when the kids and I made English muffin pizzas when they were young. Each person could make their own. Good memories. Spring will be here before we know it. I hope we get some snow before.
Laura bought myself an auger and pink kneeling pad as a Christmas gift to me! But here’s the funny part I bought my kneeling pad for indoor use! I’ve hardwood floors and kneeling on them to do inside projects is a lifesaver! Also great pad to sit on too! Now I’ll need one for gardening cause my pinkie is staying indoors💕
such a different day from the frosty days we saw earlier.. nice to get that sunny break in between cloudy days... a very smug Douglas enjoying his stay in the pot by the porch, too cute.. and Russell had to rush out to see Laura, such a special bond... that pizza oven is fun!! we throw our pizza stone on the bbq pit and cook them that way, but that's a neat little oven to have... and yea to pineapple on pizza! looks like a great day with a nice ending in the Hartley.. what a beautiful space.... i love how you grasp every moment of the day - it's so inspiring!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
Russell sitting on the kneeling pad was so cute. Nice cleanup today. Can’t wait to see the kitchen garden. The pizzas looked so yummy. That was nice to do on this sunny day. Keep enjoying the sunshine today.
The pizza break was so fun to watch! I really like that side of your house and a kitchen garden sounds perfect. You can pick herbs for your pizzas, drinks, bbqs, etc. And I think the fireplace area is beyond the rod iron divider? Perfect. 👌🏼
❤ Beautiful weather! Your children are becoming very self sufficient! So nice that you all make and eat lunch together. Russell and Douglas are so happy when you are outside too.
Love your gardens and containers! Loved seeing Russel on your kneeling pad! Love your cats! Your garden has so much winter interest! Thank you for your videos!!
Love to see Benjamin and Samantha Grace having a great time making their pizzas and everybody has a beautiful family having a great time eating together the Harley looks very beautiful I enjoy the Hardy it's my favorite place I love it God bless you and your family have a great great Christmas😊😊
Following along with Laura and the family on a typical day. Doing things thar have to be done on a regular basis like watering all the potted up plants and there's a lot of them. Not only the Hartley, but in the studio with the grow lights. Preparing meals with the family helping out. Of course there's meals to be prepared everyday. This is why I know you need a day to not worry about getting a video of your everyday chores. Tho I totally loved the content,believe me take that break when you need to. I always take time to go back and watch older videos, especially taking care of roses an your beautiful Russian sage. The Pond can wait. It's terribly cold, can't imagine getting in there even with a wet suit. Your hands would be freezing. Doing a little clean up on days like this one, you will get it done. Everything is looking gorgeous.
Good morning from Kentucky! Great video and loved seeing the kids making their pizzas. So fun! Always enjoy watching you in the garden. Have an awesome day. ❤
Yes...I think a kitchen garden would be great. I have a raised bed on legs right outside our kitchen window because of my arthritis. It's so convenient.
Love everything! Except the difference in how you treat your fur babies! Russel is obviously the favorite because you chose him, but Douglas chose you and he definitely doesn't get the same loving! Ship that gorgeous guy to Wisconsin !🤣
We love the birds too. We live near the water so we see many different fowl during the seasons. You and the children may enjoy the birding app from Cornell University. It is called “Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab. My grandchildren love to use it because the app will identify the birds in the area by the bird sounds near you. It is so much fun… Another fun and educational activity for Benjamin and Samantha.
I just love your family and the times you are all together. I know you put your very best foot forward for the videos, but I don't feel the inter love and bond you guys have is just for show. The stroll, working the garden, cooking your lunch together, petting the kitties, enjoying the glorious day the Lord has given speaks to me. Each day we live is always a gift. Oh and I need to add, Russell needs his own kneeling pad.
Thanks for showing what aphid eggs look like on the day Lillies. Sometimes I would see that cluster and thought it was chaff that got blown into the bottoms of the plant by the wind. Now I know!
Feeding birds is the best, seeing them all around my house, and the best thing is, they stay for the summer and help out with unwelcome insects in the garden. Such little helpers. Thanks for sharing, love to see all you do to inspire us gardeners! And LOVE Hartley!
Here in Southern Ontario we only trim off the long stock of the roses so that they suffer winter damage and then we do the deep pruning in early spring. My roses have always been beautiful for which I thank my grandfather who taught me how to handle roses😊
Rutabagas are a root vegetable that are also known as swedes and Swedish turnips. They are a hybrid of cabbage and turnip. Rutabagas are low in calories and high in nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are also a healthier alternative to potatoes because they contain more vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds. Rutabagas are rich in antioxidants like carotenoids and vitamins C and E.
Inspiring me to productivity, another beautiful sunny video. I loved glimpsung Douglas out inspecting the property. It's wonderful the kids were empowered to make their own pizzas.
I was going to say that you were a braver woman than I am for cleaning out the pond. I was cold with only thinking about you climbing in. I keep my pampas gras uncut until feb or march for wildlife as well as all the seed heads. I did my day lillies the other day when it was 70 plus sprayed grassbe gone and the next day it was 32.. Thank you for sharing!!
A other great clean up day today video. And ever we're just looks so much better now.. Pizzas look so good. And Samantha and Benjamin did a good job on making there's. Just a inspiring video today.
It seemed like a lovely day! I was so excited to hear that you might be getting into the fishies home. The pond is so so gorgeous, a beautiful gift that most people can only dream about. It's so lovely to live vicariously through you that way. I can't imagine there will be very many warm enough days over the winter. Oh well! Thank you for sharing your beautiful land with us! Take care!
Just love your energy. You bring me much joy and excitement watching your videos. Thank you for what you do! Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas! God bless!
I absolutely love Russell sitting on the kneeling pad, making it look like his own little place to be lots and lots of tear down. My goodness seems like no matter how much you cut down is always more of a by myself at least fear for bed that have not gotten to take anything down and they’ll probably wait till springs are having snow again tonight Anyway it was a blast. I love watching you guys. I’ll make the pizzas.! Have a great day!
I'm looking forward to what you create there outside your kitchen area....a water/pond feature outside there would be nice to look at from inside the house. Love everything you two do!
I am really looking forward to seeing what they do there! I have a feeling Greg and Brian from Aquascape will be putting in a water feature there! I’d like to see Laura put a kitchen garden there, too. I don’t know how that would look but I’m positive Laura could do it and make it beautiful 😍
Beautiful Winter clean up. Herbs by your kitchen it's a handy idea I'm sure the pond oh my! beautiful year round. Samantha I LOVE pineapple in my pizza also. Enjoy your pizza. And dinner. 🌲❄️❤️🌿🌱🌳🍃
Thank you so much for your videos! I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((hyr
Hello from Southern California, zone 10b. Just did a hard cut back on my day lilies and found the breeding ground of tons of snails! I still love the red and yellow day lilies though…right under my productive dwarf orange citrus tree. Though we are zones apart, I still love all your hard work, knowledge, and inspiration! Thanks!!! ❤️🎄 Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year! 🎄❤️
What a wonderful video! It almost felt like Laura was speaking right with me & that I was there with her. It's always nice to be involved with family activities, and, of course, seeing Russell and Douglas is pretty great, too. Merry Christmas to all of you at Garden Answer. 🎄🎄🎄
I vote for the kitchen garden right out the door. I did that with mine and I love it. You wont regret it!
Russell using the kneeling pad for a seat . So cute.
Russell on the kneeling pad brought back nice memories, mycats used to do the same. I wish Laura would take 2 kneeling pads, 1 for her and 1 for the kitties.
23:27 great editing addition!!! A "ghost" effect of Kevin from Home Alone!!❤
Douglas laying in the Japanese Maple pot enjoying the Sun as well!! Loved it!!🥰🌞
Douglas a szomszédoké? Ugye nem Laura cicusa az ővé vörös cica. Köszönöm a választ. :)
Kneeling pads with Russell picture on it would be so cute.
or Douglas!
Or both 😄
I always enjoy Douglas and Russell in the background and up for pets. Russell coming up and sitting on the garden pad was a hoot.
I love that you care for the birds! We do as well but have squirrels who compete!! Wonderful to help all creatures in the wintertime --- and anytime. Douglas looks just like our cat -- love him!
I’m glad you take care of the birds and the squirrels. So many people chase the squirrels away and they’re just trying to get through the winter like everyone else.
We also squirrels in our bird feeders until I started using the seed mixed with the hot pepper. Birds love it but squirrels don't.
@@nora768 I know! I feed the squirrels peanuts! They love our Fig tree in the summer but not much around for them in the winter.
Lovely first name! ❤😊
@@VirginiaMathews94 You betcha!
When the sun shines in winter, it always feels good! Thanks for taking us along on your day.

I saw this yesterday afternoon. ❄️⛄️🎄💚🙃

I use a small pruning saw.
I love seeing the cats lounging around in your videos 😍 they sure love their home
Douglas is such a beautiful cat! All the cats love you and have to be around you!❤
'Life Giving' ... Perfectly describes this channel ❣
I agree I just had to turn off the news and get a breath of beauty and hope
I put my face to the sun in the winter just like you and breathe and feel the warmth!
Love your positive happy attitudes and the family vibe and kitties.. Douglas being his cheeky self and Russell showed up for a stroke awwwhh .. perfect sunny day
Beautiful family just love the cats thx for taking the time to take us along
Ham and pineapple pizza is my husband's favorite pizza, we use flour tortillas as a crust, super thin and crispy ... Much less expensive than pizza crusts.
I could just sit in the Hartley with a hot beverage on a sunny winter day , it's looks so lovely 🌹
Wonderful on pita also.
It’s so satisfying to see the dead foliage gone ❤❤❤ .
A close lady friend of the family, had climbing roses along one side of her house and they climbed under here siding and those branches produced flowers all winter long. It was beautiful after snow fall the dark house, bright pink roses and white snow

I also got one for indoor use. Cleaning the oven is a bear.
The sun is splitting the skies here in Scotland ☀️

The change in weather is refreshing, especially after those frosty days!
Russell sitting on the kneeling pad was so cute. Nice cleanup today. Can’t wait to see the kitchen garden.

Keep enjoying the sunshine today.

Such an important part of a happy family life.....cooking together at home!
❤ Beautiful weather! Your children are becoming very self sufficient! So nice that you all make and eat lunch together. Russell and Douglas are so happy when you are outside too.
Douglas really likes being your guardian in the garden.
Love your gardens and containers! Loved seeing Russel on your kneeling pad! Love your cats! Your garden has so much winter interest! Thank you for your videos!!
it looks like springtime by you! Good to see Douglas on the job as grounds manager.😆 Can't wait to see everything bloom again. Be well.💚
I love feeding the birds! I have 11 feeders up.
Thank you Laura and Family! Very fun! Visiting zone 9 this week from zone 4. Feels like summer! God bless you all!
Love to see Benjamin and Samantha Grace having a great time making their pizzas and everybody has a beautiful family having a great time eating together the Harley looks very beautiful I enjoy the Hardy it's my favorite place I love it God bless you and your family have a great great Christmas😊😊

Lightly sprinkle corn meal on your pizza peel. It will make your crust slide on and off better.
I learned that years ago, works great 😊
This has given me motivation to get my yard done before the rain comes in tomorrow.
Laura, I vote herb garden. I know it will bring joy to you. 😊
I love all your videos. I started watching when you were pregnant with Samantha. Your joy about life makes me excited about things to come. Thank you.
Good morning from Kentucky! Great video and loved seeing the kids making their pizzas. So fun! Always enjoy watching you in the garden. Have an awesome day. ❤
Those Amaryllis’ are huge. Wow. Everything looks sooo good. I think I would be amazing to put an edible garden outside your kitchen.
Yes...I think a kitchen garden would be great. I have a raised bed on legs right outside our kitchen window because of my arthritis. It's so convenient.
Yes a kitchen potager garden 🤗💚 I love mine - herbs, flowers, eatable flowers, even a small tomato and pepper plant, grapes…. All the things🥰
Love everything! Except the difference in how you treat your fur babies! Russel is obviously the favorite because you chose him, but Douglas chose you and he definitely doesn't get the same loving! Ship that gorgeous guy to Wisconsin !🤣
When she pets Douglas, he swats at her.
Your birds will he so happy. The winter interest in the garden is looking so nice 😊
Love watching our little chefs growing and developing. How sweet! ❤😂❤
gardening again, praise the lord!
I can smell the sunshine from here!!! It’s snowing today in WI and should give us a white Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all!
Enjoyed the pizza making especially! Always love a trip inside the Hartley ❤

I think springwill be so awesome in all those gardens.
The pear espalier looks good! 😊
Hope 2025 is it's year to feel the earth under it's feet.
@bettyjrogers they will figure out where to put it but it looks like its loving its life !

Been watching for many years! Loved this vlog style just following you through your day. Making lunch and such. I wish I had your energy Laura. 😊
i was just thinking where is Russel and he appears, lovely.
A productive day and suns out. Loved watching you make the pizza do cool kids helping I need to get a pizza machine.
Your gardens look great even in winter.

Thanks Laura for providing food to birds 🐦 !! I love how you care animals in your every videos .
Love you ❤.
So funny to hear you talk about spring, and winter is starting on December 21.
Thank you so much for your videos! I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((hyr

What a beautiful day to work outside.❤
Feeling good when watching your videos. Love your cares
The Hartley is such a lovely spot to have In wintertime where you can enjoy the warmth along with all of your your indoor plants.
The way douglas hopped through the grass at around 7 mins made my dayyyyyy
A great day for sure! Loved the Pizza Oven lunch!!
You are a gift to us....your viewers...Thank you !

I love to spend a day puttering around.
Merry Christmas Laura to you and you family. So enjoy everything you share.
I so enjoy the love and warmth you bring to all of us in t.v land.
Come 2025 spring, we are going to be awed by the gardens' growth from the abundant moisture. I was this last spring. Exciting.
16:50 Douglas 😸
Hey Laura All my summer plants Have been pruned back For the winter I'm looking forward to spring.
