The blue glass cracked me up. I’d love to know the percentage of regular viewers that knew those wouldn’t be permanent. 😂
100% of us 🤣🤣🤣
I agree! 😂
💯
I knew they wouldn’t be around long. 🎃🍁🍂💚🙃 Heck I didn’t even like them next to the pond because of the tannin in the water. Around a pool different story, color match.🎃🍁🍂💚🙃
1000%. Knew they would be changed out
Hi kids! Im an elderly woman in my 70s who has found new meaning in life, thanks to you, through Garden Answer! I tragically lost my two adult children and husband. I found myself completely lost until I found your site online. Your family reminds me of ours, having raise 3 kids on a sheep farm in PA. I miss those days but can relive much of what you two experience on your beautiful property with your darling children. It has been such a help to me, youll never know. I now live in an old neighborhood with a typical small back yard, but have learned so much about gardening that wasnt available to us before the internet and currently using every inch of space to grow delicious cherries and raspberries as well as having a lovely raised bed garden. Thanks to your inspiration! Thank you for being who you are. Youve made a difference in my life!
Thank you for posting and finding your second wind. Just like Laura inspires people, reading a post like yours inspires others who are struggling. It’s hard to find your way after significant losses, but I’m learning if you don’t live in your moment with gratitude for what we have now there is no way forward. Sometimes the small moments are what we find that in like your cat rolling around in the sun, a beautiful tulip opening up, and eating a blackberry off your own bush is awesome.
Your comment just stopped me. I felt compelled to reach out and express my condolences to you. I can not imagine what you have been through. So happy to hear that gardening and watching Laura's family has brought you joy. Life can be a difficult road for sure. I am also in PA which made me think of you. I wish you all the best. Have a beautiful day. 🌼
I would love to try a hoselink! Probably would end up having to get a couple more, one is never enough when it comes to gardening lol! Keep up the great videos you post. I’m 72, raised on a farm with large family, but still learn many lawn and gardening ideas from your channel.
Gardening is a way to talk to God and heal!
You are an inspiration as you share how you are dealing with your loss and are able to move forward daily. Thanks for sharing ❤.
I've NEVER thought of your flower give away videos as a "look at me" type thing - but rather look at the joy sharing our gardens can put on someone else' face! Those videos also remind me of the joy in creating special opportunities of serving other people alongside a family members or groups of friends.
💯agree. I view it as a joy of giving. It's quite clear that she enjoys making others happy and just wants to share because she can. I love the flower and produce giveaway videos they fed my soul.
I love your facial response every time you talk about Douglas. Thank you for taking him in and allowing him to stay. He just wants some love like all of us do. 💕
I remember when Aaron was so shy and wouldn’t talk. Look at him now.😂 we love it
Love all you do. Hoselinks are wonderful.
I enjoyed the flower giveaway so much! No need to feel odd about it. Would love to see more flower arranging videos also.
I also love how Aaron looks at the other side of things, e.g. some people do have to plan their gardens. He can relate that we all don’t have all the resources available or finances . He does look at all sides when a question is being answered and that is much appreciated. 🌸❤️🇨🇦
Aaron , Cayenne pepper does not work for squirrels. I even put it around the soil in my fall planters and the squirrels paid no attention to it and still dug up all my plants😂. 🇨🇦
My neighbour had to put a net over his koi pond because of the hawks and raccoons .
I love your free flower days, and unlike some other channels, I have never once thought you were doing it as a “look at me” event. You love growing things, and your generous soul loves sharing the bounty in all its forms. It’s a joy to watch!
I agree. Anyone who knows you and your mom would never think you did the free flowers for attention. It never entered my mind!!!
ABSOLUTELY, what Cindy said😅. Anybody that watches your video's knows that you grow somethings in excess for that very reason. Nothing goes to waste, how many times have we heard "we give it friends and family, Bethanys Pigs or the 🐔 's"! Even plants, shrubs, bulbs, etc., get homes😊 Laura you are definitely an UNselfish person that only wants to put a smile on a person's face when giving out 💐 ❤ Although a ton of work😢 giving away flower's makes my heart swell, please don't stop.
Aaron and Laura, you have become my husband's favorite CZcams channel. He used to think outdoor gardening was a waste of time and money. Most of my sentences start with "Laura on Garden Answer did..." or "Aaron on Garden Answer does it this way..." Now we look for inspiration, guidance and motivation through you.
❤
I use to not care to work in my yard or plant pretty things, but since watching you I now love it and it has become one of my greatest joys.
Now watching Cheddar, Russell and Douglas is making me want to get a cat.
You're killin' me Laura...LOL
So funny how 100% of us knew the blue rocks wouldn’t last. It would make more sense by a pool, not a pond. Everyone has their own style. Stay true to yourself!!🌱💚
You two bring so much positivity and joy to our lives! Laura, please don’t feel weird about filming the flower give away videos. You radiate so much kindness and warmth that I just simply can’t imagine anyone thinking you’re doing it for attention/likes. Those videos are so important because they’re reminders, and ideas, of the simple things we can do within our communities to brighten the days of others. They’re heartwarming to watch. And in a world full of anger and bickering, they remind me that there are still a lot of amazing people out there. Thank you for your videos and for letting us tag along in your garden journey 😊
I couldn’t agree more!
Me too. I know you grow stuff just because you love the process. Natural to want to share the bounty afterwards!
I really enjoy these highlights videos. Thanks for sharing your love for gardening and skills with us. Y'all are "Xtra"
I so agree ! They radiate peace in a chaotic world
I love your videos when you're doing all those flowers for give away. You never have come off as look at me and what I'm doing. You give off the feel that you're happy for the ones that received the flowers and how happy it makes them. In this day of look at me videos you'll the opposite you're so happy that people will enjoy the gift of flowers. Thank you ,you always are thinking of making people happy! ❤❤❤❤
I love the weekly recap videos. It’s like a weekly gardening podcast 💚
I watch your videos every morning as I drink my coffee. Laura, please don’t overthink the flower give-away videos. Anyone watching can see what a genuine person you are and your videos inspire us. You did a give-away video and took flowers to a care facility and it reminded me of visiting nursing homes with my grandmother when I was itty bitty, to deliver church flowers after services on Sundays. I would love to see more. 💗
2 coats of Aquanet or Rave hairspray works wonders for keeping squirrels, deer, etc from eating pumpkins that are put out as decorations. I've used it on all of my mine for over 20 years. :)
Would hairspray work on rhodies in the winter to keep deer away??
Love watching your videos. I've been wanting to get a hoselink for my garden. I'm so over having to coil up my hose to make it look tidy. Thanks for all your inspiration to help me be more successful in my garden.
Thank you!
When you gave flowers it always made me smile because I know what joy it brought to the elderly 😊I never thought you were looking for attention Laura I know you are sincerely a kind person
Agreed! And when people see someone they admire doing this, it makes them much more likely to do it themselves!
@@majorzipf8947 kindness is contagious 😊
I need a Hoselink. How can I win the one you are giving away?
I enjoy your videos so much.
As soon as those blue rocks went in I knew they would not last long. It is so fun that this community knows Laura so well. Thanks hoselink for sponsoring.
I feel that most gardeners love to share the love by giving their harvest abundance to friends and family. Your flower day and generous produce sharing is always inspiring to me. Usually I give zucchini, peppers, and garlic away and this year I did a couple Dahlia bouquets for neighbors. It makes my heart happy!
Animal lady here...😊 I was thinking that perhaps Douglas is not neutered. Many intack male cats will follow a scent of a female in heat 4 miles. And after the heat is gone then the cats don't know how to find their way back home! So that's when a stray will usually show up cuz they are hungry. It actually take 16 mice a day to feed a cat! Anyway you might see if Douglas needs to be neutered, which would stop him from fighting after a few months and the hormones wore off. And I'm sure Russell would certainly appreciate the change 😸
I love how everyone knew the blue rocks weren't going to stay. My first thought was "Oh boy, that rock fireplace is orange." Knowing how you've worked so hard to keep all the stone gray, I asked myself, "I wonder how long it will be before Laura stains it?"
Right, immediately knew this.
Immediately!
We all had the same thoughts! Lol
immmmmmmediatly this😂
I think we have a hint of her style preferences. 👏
It’s such a breath of fresh air to hear from a gardener who doesn’t worry about everything! Laura’s life philosophy/vibe has been so helpful for me when I start to worry too much about my garden.
Your garden just keeps getting better and better. My every day go to……thanks Laura.
I didn’t think “it’s all about me” when you gave away flowers. I loved seeing the happiness that they brought the recipients and through it was a sweet thing to do.
One doesn’t have to watch for long to know where your heart is Laura. You prove yourself time and time again to be completely humble. Thank you for being who you are and thanks to the entire team for all the hard work. Your videos are awesome!!
I just want to say that sharing your flowers and produce, while also sharing your selfless act on your channel, is not shouting out “Look at me “. You are inspiring others to act more selfless. As well as sharing your bounty with others that may need that little pick-me-up. You never know how one small act can change someone’s day!
Thank you for all you do and for being who you are.
I love your generosity! It is so nice you have opportunity to do the nice things for others. You have a very humble attitude. You never seem haughty and “look at me”. I’m glad you have had a year to enjoy your gardens and relax.
I hope you and your mom and sister are going to do another antique/Christmas shopping video. Be sure to include your coffee and lunch stops! These are just as fun as your gardening videos.
So funny about the blue stone in fire rock...my sister was visiting and we watched together...I told her, "No way, Laura's gonna like that blue stone." She said, "I would pick Lava stone." Then I saw you changed the blue out for lava and cracked up.
The lava stone looks great! When I saw the blue stone, just knew it would soon be gone. Not Laura's aesthetic.
We all know her so well as far as garden choices. I said the same thing!!!
Hahahah literally same, no way Laura is keeping the blue! 😂 What video did she show the switch to lava rock? I missed that I think
Thought same thing😊
I thought the exact same thing.
Nobody thinks that you're being 'look at me' when you do generous things. It actually reminds us to share our bounty when we can. I love it! ❤
I agree! Laura please continue to share videos of you doing this. It's inspiring. We know you have good intentions so don't worry! It reminds me if my Mom! She used to share the bounty of her harvest & flowers! She raised 6 kids & we still had plenty to eat all winter & got to enjoy home grown home canned & frozen food. She taught us how to can & be generous & grateful to God for our bounty. She'd also give away fresh eggs & chicken that her & Dad raised! I laugh when people speak of prepping like it's a new idea ir something. I've mentioned before in a comment Ling ago how I look forward to your videos. Not only to learn & get new ideas (I've copied things in my yard that you've done sometime I'll send you pictures) but it also brings back great memories of my parents & it is a great break from all the stresses if life! Watching your videos is like getting my hands in the dirt without getting them in the dirt. We know what great "therapy" gardening is! Thank you! Keep it up! Please don't stop! & to Aaron, you're doing a great job on your videos! Keep em coming!😊 😊😊
I think other people will start following you’re example if once in a while you show your give away day!!
One of the main reasons we watch your videos in our house is that they truly are and feel completely authentic! Not once have I ever thought there was an intentional fishing for attention or validation when it comes to your approach in any video but especially in your generosity, but I can understand how you feel. There is a marked difference in your approach and your kindness when we see you being generous with the abundance that fills your gardens. It is truly inspiring. Comradery and connection in kindness is all I have ever felt with your videos like this.
Nobody thinks you’re a Goody-Two-Shoes when you share and give your flowers away! It’s so nice to see your friends come join you to pick and arrange! (Seems so idyllic!) Then the delightful ooohs and aaahs of the recipients! To ME, that’s exactly what flowers are meant to do! I wouldn’t worry too much about the sanctimonious-ness of the situation! You’re a delight!
Laura, you feeling weird about the giveaway videos is just proof of what a good person you are! I love watching those and all your videos and I think the giveaway videos are a great example for all of us to do what you can to make someone happy. You, and your whole family are humble and authentic. Never would I think you were giving away things for the glory.
I completely understand- it is an awkward dilemma…. No matter what you do/don’t do people can ASSUME incorrectly- in fact with so many possibilities that can be assumed- they are very likely to be wrong.
Laura, I’ve been watching you as a dedicated viewer for years and I have never ever had that thought about your free flower days. I LOVE seeing those videos, they are beautiful, heartwarming and inspiring. That’s just who you are as a person, so kind and generous. The free flower day videos are win win for literally everyone involved, please please don’t stop filing them. 🙏💜💜
Laura & Aaron, Your chatting chatting back and forth, sharing and adding information as you answer gardening questions is filled with good humor and interesting information. The learn and laugh garden sessions! Thanks for efforts!
Laura has been such an influence on me! I felt braver this year about planting later into the fall and scored some real garden center clearance bargains, so THANK YOU!!!
I think anyone who has been watching for a short amount of time will know that you definitely don’t do the flower give aways for attention so don’t let that hold you back! I love seeing all the different flower combinations you come up with.
Laura, it's refreshing to see that even as busy as you are, you take the time to give flowers or produce away for free. We know it's not your focus. Just like when you help decorate your church or elsewhere. You are sharing your talents with your community, and that's a beautiful thing!
The speed and efficiency of your production schedule is very much appreciated. It feels as close to "real time" as you are able to make it, especially considering how often you film. Also, thank you to Hoselink for hosting another giveaway!
As a 70 year old continuing to garden on my hillside acre of paradise, a Hoselink would be a great convenience. Ps: I love how Aaron has relaxed into role speaking more often. You both are a joy.
Giving your flowers away encourages others to be kind! I’ve never thought of those videos anything other than joyful in watching others’ reactions when they receive them. And, I love when you give them to nursing homes...such happiness!
Giving the flowers away is inspiring to me! And I don’t sense a “look at me attitude “ behind it at all. Thank you for being so generous… I find it very fun to watch the arrangements being made and then the gifting of them! Glad you enjoyed the year off tho!!
Laughed when you changed the “natural” blue rocks! The dark looks so much better ❤
I loved when you took your beautiful florals to the Senior Center. They brightened the faces of staff and residents. My Garden Sister’s husband just ordered their first Hoselink. So exciting.
I think that you, Laura, were perfectly polite and respectful to try the blue stones as Greg suggested, despite knowing they wouldn’t be your choice. He was a very good sport about the change based on his comment to that video.
I love watching you and Aaron talk like you’re not on camera. It’s great to watch and feel like I’m in the room where it happens. 😂
As long as Arron dosnt talk about Greg’s world 😂
We all know your heart Laura, and know your not showing off or being prideful when giving flowers away. I makes me happy to see how you bless others with the free flower day and I think it encourages others to grow and give.
I was in a local nursery yesterday to buy a willow oak tree. We picked out a healthy 15 gallon tree that I know will grow and thrive. I also picked up a small bag of Espoma bio tone fertilizer to use when we plant it. The worker said that would be good but then he tried to sell me something else to use instead. I was like “nope!” I’ll do what Laura does, thank you very much!” 😂
Laura I just wanted you to know that I loved your video's of you and your mother making flower arrangements and extra fruits and vegetables to give away to the customers. To me it was like saying thank you for supporting the family business for so many years. I'm sure many of us feel the same.
Agreed!!
I think everyone who watches your videos know that you are not giving flowers away for the accolades. You inspired me to make a few flower arrangements and give them away to neighbors. I know I have been inspired in many ways by your videos.
We love seeing you give away the flowers!! Love to see the look on peoples faces. Great to see someone brighten their day!!
You shouldn’t feel “gross” about being kind! You are inspiring! We need more people like you!!!❤❤❤
The best part of this channel is that it's so professional. I tune in each day like it's a real TV show. The GA Team is running a business and I LOVE that they treat it as such. It's not just willy-nilly, throwing content at us. Always a pleasure to watch and SO much fun to learn! (Sitting here typing in my Garden Answer hoodie!!) Thanks for ALL of your hard work and for sharing your adventures each day.
It is such a joy to watch your channel. It doesn’t matter if you repeat a process as it is always a reminder of what the good practice is and how to do it.
I love the firepit near the pond, it gives it a wilderness look. It’s funny how Aaron and Greg wonder what Laura is going to say when they want to do something! But everyone’s great work together make it glorious ❤️
Laura: "Leave a comment below to enter!" Aaron: "Leave a *nice* comment..." Laura: "Oh, yeah!" You two make me smile! Thank you Garden Answer and thank you Hoselink!
I think we were all thinking the same thing when we saw the bright blue glass. I liked how you approached it with allowing Greg to choose & then suggesting maybe a seasonal change.
One of my very favorite times of the week is watching your recap video as i enjoy a cup of coffee with my kitty on my lap. Aaron's increased involvement is such a delight as he adds so much. Laura and Aaron make a great team.
Thanks for another great week of videos!
Even my kids holler, “hey guys” when I grab my phone for my nightly viewing. We love watching your videos and learning so many new things.
I absolutely loved that first video where Samantha was filming you like her daddy. So so cute! ❤❤
I love Douglas. He's fluffy, cheerful and looks like a fairytale cat. ❤❤
I remember when Aaron was not comfortable joining you on camera. The both of you are just wonderful in these recap videos. And, thank you to Hoselink for sponsoring this video.
Love knowing other gardeners neglect their houseplants in the summer and it's not just me 😂
Same here! Haha!
It's nice when genuine people act normal. I'm sure giving away the flowers is a blessing for all those who receive them. That's what counts!
Laura and Aaron, please know that you both are truly an inspiration to me and many others. I feel blessed to have found your channel after losing my husband at the young age of 60, 5 years ago. It has allowed me to stay busy, active, and no longer depressed. Thank you for being real.
I just want to thank you for all you do. I know this is your 'job', but I also know how many of us truly look forward to your video every day and how much we learn from you. I live in a small townhouse and have a very small flower garden space, and I just love seeing everything you are able to accomplish on your property. Thank you!
I love being a part of the Garden Answer Community. I learn something new everyday and have been inspired in so many ways. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you.
I knew the blue glass was history too LOL!! I said out loud when I watched, ‘that’s not going to last’ and chuckled 🤣 Cool idea with the cardboard in the planter! I always learn something new from you, thank you for all you guys share!!
Always enjoy seeing you and Arron interact. Y’all are so made for each other.
I absolutely love your recap videos. No need to justify why you are ok with answering repeat questions. You both are always so gracious in sharing both your love of gardening and spreading knowledge to anyone who shows a interest.
It was so kind of you to humor Greg with his choice of blue glass. It was beautiful but I agree, the charcoal fits your space much better. Thank you for another chance at a hoselink!!! 🤞🏼
Laura and Aaron, you never come across as self serving. And we appreciate knowing how you share your abundance. Heck, we’re even happy the pigs are eating so well! It’s ok, we know you’re not giving away for personal attention! ❤
You are such a humble person so it makes sense why you feel like the flower give away videos are a look at me kinda thing. Honestly, to me it just provides another example of the type of person we should all strive to be!
Aaron is getting more vocal in the videos! Love it. And the roll of the eyes about house plants Laura, I’m so with you.
Those cats want your attention so bad that they're willing to follow you around to the ends of the world! It's so hilarious to watch! Thanks for including them in the videos. 😂
I never miss a video! I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from you both! I even got a small greenhouse a couple years ago and started growing seeds in the winter. This year I’m planning to do a seedling sale to raise money for my daughter who has been dealing with bone marrow failure and can no longer work. My knowledge for starting seeds and growing so many things came from you. It’s been a fun learning process and I love sharing my plants! Thankyou for all you do!
Prayers for your daughter!
When I watch the videos of you giving away flowers, I don't look at it as you saying, "Look at me!"
I actually smile knowing or seeing how you've made someone's day by such a sweet gesture. So not only are you making their day but the viewers who watch you.
💐🌻🌺
❤ Arron’s, laid-back attitude, except for his plant them high tree 🌳 rule 😂. Thanks for introducing this to your viewers
Love that firer rock 😜😍!! The pond is looking 👀 so beautiful!! Love the hose link I can just imagine how much easier it makes things!! Thank You Hoselink for giving another one away and Thank You Laura and Aaron for sharing your experience with us!!!
A big thank you to Hoselink for sponsoring another giveaway! It is truly the cherry on top since the Recap Videos are fabulous just as they are. Thank you Aaron and Laura.
Best way to spend a Sunday morning! It’s so good to see you both together. I’m sure the majority of your viewers love the fact that you both are so down to earth. Your channel continues to grow but it hasn’t changed who you are. Very humble and no airs about you. Perfection!
I think we all knew the blue glass wouldn’t last long!!! 😂 Laura is my spirit animal!😂
Lauren & Aaron, I’m addicted to ur channel. Not only r u informative in all ur gardening but it’s enjoyable for me to watch u two work together, see ur children grow thru out t yrs, watch u stop what ur doing to pet one of ur cats & keep that smile on ur face t whole time u do ur gardening. Love it 💗
Love how Aron is giving something away and Laura is thinking , "You're giving the farm away." And I don't blame her. Laura deserves what Cesar had..God bless you, Girl
I think I’m most excited with the new walkway that Pedro and his crew created for you (from your house to the Hartley). I can’t wait to see what bulbs and plants and trees you’ll choose to fill that space.
Laura, you have a warm, giving heart, do not worry about some people thinking you are being look at me when you give things away. As Aaron said, if more people in this world was more giving they wouldn't have the time to judge someone who is. Thanks for all you and Aaron do. I have learned so much from you.
You mentioned that this year since your thrip issue effected the amount of flower arrangement you could giveaway, that you felt more relaxed and enjoyed your garden. That is wonderful to hear! Please don’t feel you must do anything for anyone else but you and your family. We gardeners that follow you and Aaron for information and expert knowledge should be enough! Happy Fall!
I think it took self control to go along with the blue glass when Greg picked it out at Andrews. I think it was brilliant to use the ability to change out the glass as a feature, rather than discussing what your own choice would have been. Laura always handles herself with grace and kindness to others.
I think the fire rock looks good in its location, and I'm glad that you decided to change those bright blue glass rocks to a charcoal gray (they'll look more like cold embers when the fire isn't lit). It does make a nice footrest for you two!
Good morning fellow growers.❤😊
Hi from North Florida.
Thank you guys for the inspiration every week!! ❤
Good Morning from central New Jersey 😊
Good afternoon from Spain ❤
I’m so enjoying all the behind the camera/editing Aaron has been sharing
I do love seeing the five away videos. The bouquets you do are not ornate and expensive so it does inspire those of us who are not gifted in the area of flower arranging to give flowers away too! It's also nice to see things being done just out of love for people rather than for gain.
The blue stones! You did a great job of not showing any dismay in your face😂
I love how much Aaron contributes to the conversations and questions. I remember when he was just behind the scenes. Your videos are always inspiring me to try new things in my garden space. Thank you for all you do.
I’ve learned so much from you guys over the years! Thank you for continuing to bring relevant gardening information to this community! I also love hose link hose reels! I recommend them to everyone!
I love these recaps so much. As a person who tries to maintain a normal and safe amount of distance within my paradoxical relationships, I do like getting to see some “behind the scenes” type of content from y’all.
I don’t think your flower days are coming as self-serving… self-serving people don’t worry about that! Haha!
Much love to you all 💕
I can understand how you feel weird about the videos with the giving away of the cut flower arrangements, but I always enjoy those videos. The communal spirit of gathering all of the flowers and then the unexpected joy you bring to others when they receive them is nice to watch.
I'm enjoying these recap videos so much! Love Aaron's comments and banter with Laura. 😂
Thanks, Laura and Aaron. I appreciate the cut flower giveaway videos. They aren’t self-aggrandizing at all. Instead they show beauty and happiness and caring and kindness. I hope you keep doing them-once thrips leave you alone 😀
I'm with Laura on the house plant neglect during spring/summer. ❤ I only allow tough plants inside that can handle a week or two without water.
Thank you Laura and Aaron for the Sunday recaps. You guys are great together. ❤
Laura I always wonder what you are goingvto do with all those flowers. I love seeing those days a group does the flower arrangements. Its such a generous community activity.
Don’t judge yourself Laura. Let that beautiful heart show.
So funny, “if Laura doesn’t like it she can put it somewhere else on the property” I don’t like faux either, but it looks pretty good and the kiddos seem to enjoy it😊😊😊😊😊
