Could you carry cloned Pauls in your shop? 😉 Thank you for the grape pruning lesson. I think I learned more with them not being perfect. My father in law had grapes (some wonderful old purple many-seeded variety) for decades. There is only one left now but you have inspired me to take a hard look at it and see if maybe it can be rejuvenated. Those grapes were not good for eating but my mother in law made the best rich purple juice with them. Your videos have often brought happy memories back to me and I am so grateful for that. Benjamin is so inventive. I love how you are so positive and supportive with him and Samantha. You are a great mom.
I love that you show us how to recover from a less than ideal garden situation....I bet that is where most of us find ourselves. Knowing how to approach things to bring them back to ideal....is what I need!
I was so glad she choose to show this, I mean when Laura from Garden Answer has things go a miss and just makes the best of it then surely the rest of us can! Like that she is honest with her views, it's refreshing!
Hi Laura, when I was watching you prune your grapes I kept saying"she's doing it wrong", lol. I know how much you love that. Anyway, here is my suggestion: if you want to create cordons on 3 wires it would be best to either pick one main cane( or since you have 2 already, which gives you a back-up in case one dies) two main canes and fasten them to all three wires vertically, in other words going straight up. Then choose your left and right canes which will become your cordons on the other two wires at the height of each wire once they start growing this season. That then becomes your main structure from which you can spur prune. You can still easily do this, since the canes you left are still flexible. If you leave your canes as they are, you will either have to choose a side chute cane to go up vertically to the other two wires, or be stuck with your grapes on the bottom wire only. Love your channel and watch you daily!!
Well, you can't get to every chore. You are incredible. In fact, I sit on my couch and see your new video coming up and think, "She's just incredible," and,"Is there no end? Is there actually something else to tend to?" Yet, I understand you do so much more than garden and edit, like play the piano daily, parent, read, etc... Thanks so much for your great videos, for sharing your knowledge. I also appreciate so much your kindness and decency. I wouldn't watch otherwise, no matter how much I'd learn. Your husband and parents and sister, too. A God-fearing family brings so many blessings. It's evident.
What a satisfying video!! First, Paul shows us his skills with hardware; I love how he smoothed the cut ends of the eye bolt. Showing us the real world when we don’t/can’t get garden chores done when it’s best for the plants - one of the many reasons I love watching this channel. And the most satisfying of all: Paul mulching the kitchen flower bed! First he fills the cart with mulch, not spilling a bit on the driveway, then he expertly cleans around all the little plants that are just waking up giving them the right amount of mulch, finishing up by blowing the area clean. That man is a Jack of all trades and master of many! Can’t give you enough kudos, Paul; you are a true gem! 💎
This is the year that Benjamin could have his own garden plot! The little garden inside the pallet fence you made him years ago was so darn cute. Now he's old enough that he's got a lot of his own good ideas on garden architecture. I'd love to see how he designs and plants his little garden.
You go Paul what awesome help. So is Douglas 😂.Everything is waking up in the garden. It’s exciting to see everything waking up in the Spring. I’m amazed how quickly everything changes from brown to green. Thank you for sharing your garden
We learn so much from you in seeing what a hopeless clean up can look like in the end. Love when fresh mulch goes down. Makes it all look fresh and neat! I think Paul is going to have a little side kick very soon. Benjamin is so smart and creative! Sweet, sweet boy!! Good to see Paul in action too!!
I’m so happy you have Paul. Being a solo gardener I know how much you value his help. Finding your channel has enhanced my landscaping skills and upped my gardening game! I Appreciate you too, Aaron and editing team! Thanks for keeping it real!
Paul (& Bethany) are so meticulous in their work. Do Russell, Cheddar & Douglas interact with them like they do with Laura? Just curious as to whether they treat them like family as they do everyone in your home since they’re such a regular part of daily life at Garden Answer Acres. 😊
Benjamin's new creation is adorable 😍🥰🤩🙌💥 HIGH FIVE BENJAMIN ‼️💯💥 The way he was emulating you was something to behold. Moments to treasure for sure 💕💕💕. And Paul's work was so meticulous ! Wow. You have such a great team ‼️🥰🌿💐
Wow. Paul didn’t just mulch. He cleaned up extra leaves and debris and then installed extra staples to hold down all the irrigation lines and THEN he mulched. All those details make such a difference and those irrigation lines are buggers. They move around and shimmy as water goes through them. I don’t enjoy the getting ready part but it sure does make a difference and looks so nice after mulching. Great job Paul.
Where did Paul learn to do all these things? The parts, the tools?? Awesome! Excited about the kitchen completion at your parents, looking so close to the end!
I could watch Paul all day long! The important jobs in the garden are the final touches that put the icing on the cake! Thanks, Laura, for sharing every little detail of your day! You always make gardening look fun and enjoyable! You are my go-to video first thing in the morning with my first cup of coffee! Oh, the simple pleasures of life! How sweet!
It's worth mentioning that in areas where the ground freezes deeply, to wait until it thaws and warms before mulching. From experience, a gardener can keep those icy beds for quite a long time with a nice layer of mulch on top of frozen soil... if you want peonies, for example, to bloom later (for a wedding or whatever) this trick is your friend! In Minneapolis, after a snowless and rather warm winter, I'm cleaning the debris like autumn leaves already a full month early, but not very fast! I want to keep those soils moist and cool for as long as possible to avoid cold snaps and late spring freezes, which will likely happen. I envy your early and long desert spring!!
This is so important for new gardeners who watch this channel to understand. Laura has a very specific climate that I would say the majority of her viewers don't share. And she has no experience at all with Midwestern/Eastern/Southern gardening, so she has no way of knowing if her experience applies or doesn't apply to a viewer's climate. Don't use Laura as a timetable for things, unless you're also in a high desert climate in zone 6b/7a.
I love when your personality pokes through, Laura! Even your video today with your mom. So cute! I know cooking isn’t in the wheelhouse on this channel but I miss your cooking videos so much. When you said meal prep I thought that sounded fun! ❤
Laura, your hair is always so pretty ❤ I enjoyed the lesson on grape pruning and sent this video to my son. I think he’s neglected his vines, too. You’re not alone!
Everything you do is helpful to someone! I may not have grapes but having something beautiful, positive and productive to start my workday is a huge gift. …and you never know, I could win the lottery and end up in the wine business. 😂
Driving by local grape vines by growers, they always seem to use 2x4 lumber props to train the bases upwards. So don't feel bad, perhaps some grapes tend to crawl instead of opt for upright balance. Sorta like me after visiting a local winery. 😂❤
Love watching your videos, and I so happy that Paul is letting you film him too. Such a hard working man and certainly deserves credit for all that he does. Benjamin is so cute, not camera shy at all and wants to let us know what he is busy working on…love it!❤
When our son was Benjamin's age,we gave him a tilt top architect's desk and big sheet of paper and pencils. He made all kinds of construction plans,devices,planes,trains and yes landscapes. To this day,he writes like an architect!
When we were still training the vines up in our vineyard many years ago, our little cat Woody Girl would accompany us. She would rub herself around the base of the vine and get in the way, so we’d give her a cuddle, finish the vine we were working on, and then move on to the next vine. She pretty much blessed every single vine on the 20acres.
Laura, you did an awesome job pruning the grape vines with fur-baby Douglas kitty's invaluable assistance. 😻 Although I've been growing grapes for years, I learned from you about the ties that you use. Thank you. I'm training mine on a pergola with the hope that they will be happy and beautiful there. Benjamin's fence project is awesome. Love that Benjamin is learning to build, garden and love his home as much as you guys do. Great job. Blessings and love. Sherry 🥰 🙏 💞 🍇
I'd love to watch a Q&A with Paul and Bethany! I know they've said in the past they don't want to appear as much in the videos, but I'm feeling this has slowly changed a bit hahahaha maybe they'd accept it? 🤞🏼 I'd love to know how they feel working for you and getting to experience your property, which I'm sure is the dream of most of your viewers!
No question! Way to make the best of what you've got to work with. I'm certain others will feel better knowing they aren't the only ones to let things slide but still address the best they can when they can. Thanks for the inspo!
Oh my goodness sir handsomeness, I mean Paul, is so skilled at everything! He is such a gem, but thanks to both him and his sister's behind the scene magic they do to help make things beautiful! And what a great team.❤
Wow! Even though it was at high speed, I still noticed that you do a lot of work in your garden to keep it up! Thank You for sharing with us. Your son has grown so much... Continued Blessings!!!
My brother has a vineyard and grows 4 different grapes for local wineries (and a little for himself). I showed him your video and he said you did a pretty good job!! The only suggestion he had was that instead of winding your cordons around the wire, use a little tie and hang them just below the wire. Grapes are a lot of work and he is outside working on them probably 10 months out of the year. I enjoy helping him at harvest time, but it is a lot of work year-round. I love watching your videos and seeing all the progress you make every year! Those little squirts of yours are growing so fast - such sweet babies!!
Laura, I appreciate learning about a garden task I don't need right at the moment in anticipation that I might one day. Always good to know what's in store before growing something new. Thank you for all the sharing you do.
You are not alone! I got two grapes (don’t even remember what kind) 4 years ago and they are growing on the side of our vegetable garden fence, I’ve never pruned them 😅 and they don’t produce well. Thank you Laura I now have the confidence to go hack them down to size!!
I know it is hard work but so satisfying to see the results. Young backs are such a blessing. So attractive near the chickens. Benjamin is designing already!
It was so great to see the grape vines. I think it made the pruning process more informative to see the impact of not pruning and how to correct it. I feel like I learned a lot more than seeing it done properly from the beginning. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your gardening boo boos! Makes the rest of us feel ok about our own boo boos! 😂 Shout out to Paul! Such a hard working individual, with amazing skills and very meticulous with his work! ❤
Hi Laura, both of my grandparents had grapes growing on their pergola which they had been taking care of for over 30 years. Don't feel so discouraged due to the way those trunks were grown! Cause let me tell you that does not play a huge role! My grandparents' grapes produce so much fruit each year and they barely got any "correct" shaping prunes in their life! So please give them a chance, you would be surprised! ☺ Thanks for your videos, greetings from Germany!
Learning how to prune grapes is top of my need to know. Thanks for the suggestion s. You think yours are neglected....you should see mine out at our rec property!!! Have a great day. 🐸💛🐸💚🐸💙🐸💜😎
I have grapevines that I also have been neglecting. Thank you for showing me how to take care of them. Videos like this may not seem super helpful to you, but I really enjoy them. It helps me see what it takes to upkeep landscaping and also tells me when I should do the tasks needed to take care of my garden.
Wow, Laura you got so much done today! We have some grapevines my husband planted many years ago. Gonna have him watch this video! Great job Paul and Benjamin!
The only plants that really intimidate me are berry plants: grapes, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc. But your planting and pruning videos on these plants have helped so much, thank you! Oh, and the mulching Paul did looks wonderful. It really does make a big difference on how a garden bed looks!
Could you carry cloned Pauls in your shop? 😉 Thank you for the grape pruning lesson. I think I learned more with them not being perfect. My father in law had grapes (some wonderful old purple many-seeded variety) for decades. There is only one left now but you have inspired me to take a hard look at it and see if maybe it can be rejuvenated. Those grapes were not good for eating but my mother in law made the best rich purple juice with them. Your videos have often brought happy memories back to me and I am so grateful for that. Benjamin is so inventive. I love how you are so positive and supportive with him and Samantha. You are a great mom.
Yes, cloned Paul’s would be great!! 👨🏻🌾😆
This is the best comment!! I sure would order a Paul for sure! Although, I think Aaron would be stumped on shipping!
I got one off Temu, but he was a little messed up; mostly sat in the building loft and shook uncontrollably. 😮💨🤣
🤣🤣@@RealBradMiller
I’d order a Paul-alike! ✅
I love that you show us how to recover from a less than ideal garden situation....I bet that is where most of us find ourselves. Knowing how to approach things to bring them back to ideal....is what I need!

So glad Paul is letting you film him. He is a man with many skills. Nice to see how he complements your plans and work.
Always fun when you show Paul working. It's awesome you have such a great team!
Can we all appreciate the use of the turnbuckles!!! Very smart. He needs a raise!!
My cotheslines are on turnbuckles. Vinyl coated wire lines. Very handy!
We do too. Some have been growing on the ground for years. I am afraid to look at those.😮
I bought some to use on my shade sails this year. Didn't know the name..
@@teresaalbright883mine too.
Thanks for the name of those!
That Paul is a hard worker! You are very lucky to have found him!!
While you may think it’s embarrassing, it’s relatable! Life happens. Things get overlooked. You’re human! Teaching how to save it is so encouraging.
Hi Laura, when I was watching you prune your grapes I kept saying"she's doing it wrong", lol. I know how much you love that. Anyway, here is my suggestion: if you want to create cordons on 3 wires it would be best to either pick one main cane( or since you have 2 already, which gives you a back-up in case one dies) two main canes and fasten them to all three wires vertically, in other words going straight up.

If you leave your canes as they are, you will either have to choose a side chute cane to go up vertically to the other two wires, or be stuck with your grapes on the bottom wire only. Love your channel and watch you daily!!
Your description reminds me of how I’ve seen people prune espaliered trees
Love this comment. I was wondering the entire time how will she get to those other two wires if the grapes are pruned and trained on the lowest wire.
@@Erin-tk5jw Exactly!
Well, you can't get to every chore. You are incredible. In fact, I sit on my couch and see your new video coming up and think, "She's just incredible," and,"Is there no end?

I agree spring is so refreshing, mother is so amazing !!
Thanks for taking us along Paul! Everything looks great!❤
14:23 "We're just staying in theme here..." made me laugh :D
Honestly though the wonky grape vine trunks are kinda charming and whimsical, love them!
Wow!!! Everybody should have a Paul. What a blessing you found each other.
I wish I had a Paul around , you guys are so blessed to have him . What a hard worker he is !❤️
Paul!!!❤❤❤ he did such an amazing job on that wire cable installation. Perfection. Does Paul know how much we all love him? 😂😂
Wish we all had a Paul & Bethany💙🩷
LAURA, YOU SAY THE CUTEST THINGS --- "FAITH IN PRUNING" GOES TO THE FILE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS YOU SAY.
Well, Paul is nothing short of amazing. It’s obvious he is a blessing to your family. The man knows how to work!
We learn so much from you in seeing what a hopeless clean up can look like in the end. Love when fresh mulch goes down. Makes it all look fresh and neat! I think Paul is going to have a little side kick very soon. Benjamin is so smart and creative! Sweet, sweet boy!! Good to see Paul in action too!!
Laura, I love these working videos. Please do not think they are worthless. And they show such hard work. Wow!
I’m so happy you have Paul. Being a solo gardener I know how much you value his help. Finding your channel has enhanced my landscaping skills and upped my gardening game! I Appreciate you too, Aaron and editing team! Thanks for keeping it real!
Just had to chime in here…. I totally echo this and I garden for a living!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Paul (& Bethany) are so meticulous in their work. Do Russell, Cheddar & Douglas interact with them like they do with Laura? Just curious as to whether they treat them like family as they do everyone in your home since they’re such a regular part of daily life at Garden Answer Acres. 😊
I was wondering the exact same thing. I have yet to see video evidence of any of the feline trio interact with P&B.
Benjamin's new creation is adorable 😍🥰🤩🙌💥 HIGH FIVE BENJAMIN ‼️💯💥 The way he was emulating you was something to behold. Moments to treasure for sure 💕💕💕. And Paul's work was so meticulous ! Wow. You have such a great team ‼️🥰🌿💐
Paul is impressive with all his skills, what a blessing to have such amazing help.
Paul is the bomb! Is there anything he can’t do??? His work is so meticulous too!
Wow. Paul didn’t just mulch. He cleaned up extra leaves and debris and then installed extra staples to hold down all the irrigation lines and THEN he mulched. All those details make such a difference and those irrigation lines are buggers. They move around and shimmy as water goes through them. I don’t enjoy the getting ready part but it sure does make a difference and looks so nice after mulching. Great job Paul.
Benjamin is so cute imitating what he sees his parents do....planing out a new path!! 😄 The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
Where did Paul learn to do all these things? The parts, the tools?? Awesome! Excited about the kitchen completion at your parents, looking so close to the end!
So satisfying to watch Paul work, he does such a good job!
Loved seeing Paul do his thing. He's a Godsend.
I could watch Paul all day long! The important jobs in the garden are the final touches that put the icing on the cake! Thanks, Laura, for sharing every little detail of your day!

Everyone needs a Paul. Such a hard worker.
Laura, your hair is always so pretty ❤ I enjoyed the lesson on grape pruning and sent this video to my son. I think he’s neglected his vines, too. You’re not alone!
You and Aaron found you a gem in Paul and Bethany. Paul sure moves fast(high speed)lol! Love watching, he does a great job.🪴🌱🐈⬛

You are a good sport Laura to share your grapevine pruning since you thought it was embarrassing.
My husband worked in my flower bed today. It looks so much better.😊❤ I am looking forward to planting more flowers this spring/summer.
When we were still training the vines up in our vineyard many years ago, our little cat Woody Girl would accompany us.

Your fence builder and his sledge hammer is sooooo cute!
I love that you’re sharing a project that’s kind of been on the back burner ❤ we all have one of those 😅😂
I’m glad you showed the grapes! Everyone learns from mistakes, and we got the benefit of learning from yours. It was very helpful!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️
Laura, you did an awesome job pruning the grape vines with fur-baby Douglas kitty's invaluable assistance. 😻 Although I've been growing grapes for years, I learned from you about the ties that you use.

The knowledge and lifeskills that he is naturally absorbing from his parents, grandparents, Paul, and Bethany is just amazing.
I'd love to watch a Q&A with Paul and Bethany! I know they've said in the past they don't want to appear as much in the videos, but I'm feeling this has slowly changed a bit hahahaha maybe they'd accept it? 🤞🏼 I'd love to know how they feel working for you and getting to experience your property, which I'm sure is the dream of most of your viewers!
I'm so glad you showed how Paul did that. This super helpful to me for my raspberry beds.
Laura, you’re not alone with the untrained grapes…I’m inspired to get out to start pruning!
No question! Way to make the best of what you've got to work with. I'm certain others will feel better knowing they aren't the only ones to let things slide but still address the best they can when they can. Thanks for the inspo!
Oh my goodness sir handsomeness, I mean Paul, is so skilled at everything! He is such a gem, but thanks to both him and his sister's behind the scene magic they do to help make things beautiful! And what a great team.❤
Well, well, well. Douglas has been whipped into shape and has learned his manners. Go Doug!
Pruning, garden bed cleanup, and spreading mulch. All so satisfying to watch! 🪴
Watching how you prune anything is helpful to me..thanks.
PAUL IS AS HANDY AS A POCKET ON A SHIRT! 🎉😊
Bought my first pair of Felco 2s from you this week. They have already proved their worth with all the trimming and pruning I've done. Thanks!
Thank you for supporting us!!
Thank you for your Mom. Left handed Felco are wonderful for me. Love them.
We ALL need a Paul in our life🌷
Great job Paul on the mulching! my back is aching for you! You deserve a raise!
Benjamin is so sweet.
And I appreciate the grape pruning. I just did that to one of mine that I had neglected, and I’m glad to see that I did ok!
Wow! Even though it was at high speed, I still noticed that you do a lot of work in your garden to keep it up! Thank You for sharing with us. Your son has grown so much... Continued Blessings!!!
Well I know what I am doing today! I love that I can plan my garden projects after I see Laura do hers😀🍇
I love how the cats come to you, when you’re busy, for some love😊❤️

The Paul’s of the world make it a better place!!
AMEN
You’re not alone. Landscape is looking AWESOME! 🙌 🍇🪻🌷
A Douglas is the best tool to have in the garden!
Laura, I appreciate learning about a garden task I don't need right at the moment in anticipation that I might one day. Always good to know what's in store before growing something new. Thank you for all the sharing you do.
You are not alone! I got two grapes (don’t even remember what kind) 4 years ago and they are growing on the side of our vegetable garden fence, I’ve never pruned them 😅 and they don’t produce well. Thank you Laura I now have the confidence to go hack them down to size!!
Paul and Bethany.....what a team👌👌👌👌💕💕
I don’t know anything about grapes but they certainly do look a lot better. Mulch is always a welcome addition-Paul is such an asset!
I know it is hard work but so satisfying to see the results. Young backs are such a blessing. So attractive near the chickens. Benjamin is designing already!
I love this time of year watching cleanup videos and the sprouting of the plants.
It was so great to see the grape vines. I think it made the pruning process more informative to see the impact of not pruning and how to correct it. I feel like I learned a lot more than seeing it done properly from the beginning. Thank you for sharing.
Props to your hair stylist, it’s gorgeous 😍
This makes me want to plant grapes 🍇 💕
I haven’t pruned my grapes and they are a couple of years old. Faith in pruning will be the motto.
Thank you for sharing your gardening boo boos! Makes the rest of us feel ok about our own boo boos! 😂
Shout out to Paul! Such a hard working individual, with amazing skills and very meticulous with his work! ❤
Thank you for all you do for us gardeners. Paul is so special. He takes extra care removing debris while mulching. What a good worker.
Yes, such satisfaction! I think we all need Paul in our lives!! You both are such hard workers.
There;s Douglas!! So cute. so is Russell and Cheddar!! Glad to see them.
Lol, not alone. I have a 35-year-old grape that was at our house when we bought it and I have never pruned it!
Hi Laura, both of my grandparents had grapes growing on their pergola which they had been taking care of for over 30 years. Don't feel so discouraged due to the way those trunks were grown! Cause let me tell you that does not play a huge role! My grandparents' grapes produce so much fruit each year and they barely got any "correct" shaping prunes in their life! So please give them a chance, you would be surprised! ☺
Thanks for your videos, greetings from Germany!
Learning how to prune grapes is top of my need to know. Thanks for the suggestion s. You think yours are neglected....you should see mine out at our rec property!!! Have a great day. 🐸💛🐸💚🐸💙🐸💜😎
I have grapevines that I also have been neglecting. Thank you for showing me how to take care of them. Videos like this may not seem super helpful to you, but I really enjoy them. It helps me see what it takes to upkeep landscaping and also tells me when I should do the tasks needed to take care of my garden.
Afternoon Everyone 🥰
How satisfying to get those grapes pruned!!
Paul is worth his weight in gold. How incredibly blessed you are to have such a dedicated and hard worker!
Wow, Laura you got so much done today! We have some grapevines my husband planted many years ago. Gonna have him watch this video! Great job Paul and Benjamin!
You're giving me courage to be a fearless pruner like you Laura😊
What a transformation Laura! 🍇
Thanks for the wire and prune demos👌
I’m so pleased to see your grape vines pruned! Yay. It’s going to be interesting to see them grow inn strained way this season ❤
Paul is just awesome! ❤
Wow. Paul is awesome, you're all fantastic hard workers.
The only plants that really intimidate me are berry plants: grapes, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc. But your planting and pruning videos on these plants have helped so much, thank you! Oh, and the mulching Paul did looks wonderful. It really does make a big difference on how a garden bed looks!
Seeing clean up and mulch means drones and beneficial release isn’t too far off!!!
Miss Laura, that piece of equipment is called a turnbuckle. I use them to tighten my Aussie sun shade. 😊
