“Your doing a great job momma “ 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂 could Benjamin be any cuter??? Love your videos.

[@pamelahouck3720]

Best cheerleader ever!!!

[@eury5405]

And follows up with the ole' thumbs up "It looks perfect!" 😂😂😂😂😍😂😂😂😂

[@Kazeykc]

That too was my favorite so cute!

[@katherinec7698]

I had to watch that part twice. Made my day!

[@acerpalmatum6446]

What a sweet boy!

[@sunblock8717]

"You're doing a great job Mama!" "There...that's perfect! Great job!" Your little boy is so sweet! The fact that he knows how to speak like this shows that he's growing up in loving house full of positive affirmation

[@130crowd]

... and love of growing + living things 💚

[@pamkammann1176]

That was just adorable when he said that .. he’s so sweet .

[@sigurlaugoddnybjornsdottir9905]

I loved that also, so sweet 💜

[@Vimpertusher]

I loved that too :)

[@heatherannekennedy9368]

He's been given the gift of encouragement and is passing it along with enthusiasm!!! I love it!!!

[@foreverbloomswithjennifer8859]

I love seeing you allow Benjamin to “help” you with projects. It’s a reminder to me to take things slow with my six year old in the garden. It’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey 😍😍😍

[@tammym110]

I love that Benjamin is in more videos. He is so cute. You can tell he speaking what he hears. “You’re doing a great job Momma” “there that’s perfect” “great job” His speech is improving by leaps and bounds. He really wants to be out there with you and Aaron helping you. What an education he is getting. When he gets to school and they have the kids plant a bean seed in a paper cup to germinate, he will yawn and explain to the class how to load equipment into the gator and build a bean trellis. Haha. I love the new pathway with the mulch.

[@joanneedwards5630]

His whole class will be ahead of the game as Laura will be invited in as a volunteer I'm guessing (teacher speaking here)!

[@pollytiks3885]

It’s amazing to watch him growing up so fast!! Can’t wait for Samantha Grace become a part of the “helping”! 💕🥰

[@danilakeiko]

Lol! 😂

[@tammychesonis]

I can do it Aaron unless you wanna, OH I wanna! Then Aaron's smile... Reminds me of the sunflower last year.... 🤣😂 Benjamin is the bestest helper ever! He is so cute with all his tattoos and how sweet he tells you good job momma. Much love ❤❤

[@marymorris1030]

Everywhere I look in my yard and garden I see where Lauren and Aaron have helped me become better. From drip, designing and choice of plants thanks for teaching us to try different things.

[@cbvickers4044]

I agree Mary! We now have drip tube working all over our 3/4 acre yard and I bought my 1st fountain this week. So love these videos. 🥰

[@lmhatfield46]

So true. I’ve learned so much about the phases of gardening even if I don’t plan to use them. Love learning it all.

[@tilaramonroe3567]

This is so true! I was just doing my morning walk about and thinking the same!

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

Yes! This is 100% on point.

[@Bamboo4U2]

Please only go through the work of installing drip irrigation if you need it. Here in NJ, we get ten inches *OVER* the average precipitation (48") *and* we don't have hard water, which, for us, that means: we don't need drip irrigation and if we do need to water, sprinklers are just fine. Garden for your area, not Laura's. 👍

[@robynpope]

Just love Benjamin saying you are doing a great job momma so beautiful plus asking if the tree well be ok Benjamin looks like he is enjoying himself helping momms

[@shannon5203]

I know!! He’s so sweet!!😍😍

[@sherrylthompson803]

Girl, there is no limit to what you can do!!😀 you inspire us all so much! And who doesn’t think Benjamin is just the best little helper in the yard! I have to watch it again so I can watch Benjamin again!😀 you are so blessed!!

[@nancyh8026]

Bless his heart, what an incredible little encourager Benjamin is ❤️ I loved this video, sometimes things don’t work out and that’s ok. Thanks for sharing.

[@cm9yso]

This video shows you are human!!! I'm glad that these kind of projects happen to others and not just me!

[@adarshgujadhur650]

I really appreciate your authenticity, you're honest about your failures and find solutions like the most of us. Thank you for this video even if it wasn't a successful project, it really encourages me to continue despite the bumps I encounter along the way. You're awesome

[@kellic8665]

Benjamin just melted my heart with his words of encouragement! It shows that he hears those kinds of things from you guys all the time 💜. Laura, you are mom goals as much as you are garden goals! 💚🌱

[@heymomma]

Be still my heart! 💙💙💙 “you doing a great job momma!” You are the example for your child with the positive and encouraging comments you always give Benjamin! Way to raise him right!

[@jkrudop5700]

“You doing a great job, Mama!!” You have your own little cheer squad!! Love the sound of the fountain too!!

[@tanyafiol9378]

I love Aaron’s interjection of “well, you could’ve just measured!” 😂 haha!! Anyway, I’m also very visual too, and I would’ve done the same thing. It’s about the journey not the destination! Another great video. Thanks to you all! 💛

[@bethdurbin3279]

Very wise words, thank you for that reminder I needed that! And Benjamin you are a rockstar buddy!

[@cingbur7824]

You do realize Benjamin is mimicking you when he says "good job mama" also the "that's perfect". You have a huge influence on him. Good job!👍

[@Gin0827]

If you watch Laura enough, you might pick up some of her lingo. I picked up, “Oh my word!” and just more of her positive attitude. Always a breath of fresh positive energy!! ❤️🌷🌱🌹☀️

[@earthgirl7267]

"You're doing a great job momma!" Benjamin is so adorable! 😍 Thanks for sharing another great video.

[@prismaticattic3930]

Laura, sometimes when I prune my roses the branch turns grey and that branch dies. It doesn't bud again but the rest of the plant is fine. They are knockout rose bushes. Is there a way to prune them so that doesn't happen? Am I supposed to go down to a certain set of leaves or something? I feel like I'm doing something wrong. This video was so helpful for so many different lessons for us! Thank you so much for sharing the things that just didn't work as well as your triumphs! Your family is so sweet and just gorgeous!

[@aaronlloyd1846]

I honestly love that you share projects, that don't work out how you wanted. It's nice, and relatable haha. And you're right, it's the journey we're all here for.

[@dawnatchley9076]

Benjamin is the star of the show!🤗 He is just precious💕 Memories in the making that you and he will both treasure!

[@effortphillips639]

I’ve seen soooo many Garden Answer videos and I enjoy them all. But this one was probably my favorite! Little Benjamin working with you is the icing on the cake. So. Stinkin. Cute.

[@heatherw.2751]

Good morning all! I had hand and wrist surgery last month that has me unable to do much in the garden, which in turn has me completely bummed! Watching these videos helps tremendously! Even if I can’t get out in my yard I can live vicariously through Laura and Aaron’s! Have a great day everyone!!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

You have the cutest little garden helper. Benjamin is the best.

I have heard Aaron say “crop failure!” a few times now 😂 I don’t know why, but it makes me laugh each time. Dad joke!

[@loras3169]

Does anyone else get sad when the videos end, I just wish they kept going and going, I could watch them garden all day long!!!!

I need them to end or I would watch them all day. I luv Luv the videos.

[@leannefizzard7650]

Benjamin is just the sweetest little charmer!! I watched one of your videos earlier today filmed this time last year where he wanted to ring the door bell. What a huge difference in his size and maturity! Reminds me of my baby boy who is now 12 and still likes to help me in the garden! Thank you for all your heart warming and incredibly informative videos!!

[@Lifeofwiley]

As you were planting the dogwood with Benjamin, there were vast views towards the house. And I’m starting to imagine not just brown dust, but green grass, trees, and all the changes that are going to happen. You should definitely make a point of taking comparative perspective pictures to see how dramatically things are going to evolve over the years.

[@pattywestridge2006]

Omg I love waking up to all this cuteness with Benjamin and your videos just makes my day ..

[@lozadas]

Hi, I am a Peruvian who lives in Miami since 1986, never been interested in gardening but your videos made my day, I am so addicted!

I enjoy so much better listening to the real sounds of gardening like you shoveling and digging up the tree and rose bush over hearing music! Love the real and natural sounds. 👌🏻

Hi Laura and Aaron! Too cute watching Benjamin and his words of encouragement. I appreciate that you shared the fact that not everything turns out as planned. Kudos to Paul on mulching and moving the stepping stones! It looks really nice and tidy. Hoping the dogwood loves it's new home. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@TrueTruthin66books]

Looks like you made the right choice. As a visual person too, I’ve had this kind of experience many times. From what I could tell, the arbor was visually competing with the fireplace, and was going to make the space look cluttered. Would that more families worked together and encouraged each other, as your family is doing. Children learn what they live. The world is a tough place, so having a loving, encouraging, family gives a person deep roots to withstand the storms of life. In this good work, you are planting an eternal garden.

[@biancabaldizon8500]

Another great video!! The hellebores are so beautiful. Loved Benjamin's supportive comments and how much he helped plant the dogwood. The fruit trees are blooming wonderfully.
