[@susanlettis9085]

Erin, you rock! You have the right balance on your channel - knowledge, teaching ability and humor.

[@celeste_2083]

It has been unheard of

[@gardenanswer]

💚💚💚 Fun to see your year end review! Lots of beautiful projects!

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Thanks for stopping by, Laura! It’s always amazing to look back at everything that happened in the garden in just a few months!

[@mlsvitoris]

In 2020, first I found Garden Answer. Then I found The Impatient Gardener. For that, I am grateful. I started to dabble a bit in the garden in 2019, did a lot of planning and seed starting in the winter and your channels taught me so much and helped me in so many ways! I think my garden and flower arrangements really saved me this year. Thank you so much!

[@jayneteal-jeffery6283]

Thank you for all your work and keeping us included in your gardening life! Purple vine flower going on the list!

[@Kelli.Hicks.5]

"In Memorium." 🤣

[@GardenMoxie]

Such a great year in review video Erin! Great job!

[@katedorman7042]

Erin, you helped so many of us cope with 2020 by offering a refuge from the craziness in the world and sharing your humor, passion, knowledge and dedication to the art of gardening. For that, I will always be grateful. Cheers to a much kinder 2021.

[@45jessiemad]

Hi! So excited to see what 2021 brings and loved the ending of your video. 🤣

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

"Never had a year simultaneously go by so fast and so slow at the same time" I sure do agree with that! Really neat to look back on the year and I absolutely love your sense of humor! (In memoriam, lol!)

[@Plug8587]

I live in Adelaide South Australia and here our summers are too hot to plant anything so summer is spent dead heading and watering and more watering and our winters are when we plant everything so it has time to establish before our very hot summers!! So our gardening year is all year!! I'd like a quiet winter to sit and watch the garden sleep 🤣

[@YAorNAmovies]

Thanks for a great year of videos! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for 2021.

[@vickikeeler2597]

I appreciate your willingness to include us in your garden journey. I find you authentic and down to earth. Thank you and I wil be seeing you in 2021!

[@pattikulesza6203]

Love you included the in memoriam! Helps make my garden ‘failures’, not a failure but a learning experience.... we ALL have them. And reality is, garden real estate is too precious to keep anything that doesn’t bring you happiness. Thanks for being real, a fellow zone 5 gardener.

[@briandaniels4]

My wife an I enjoy your channel. I know you spoke about the pressure of having other people in your garden because you want things to be perfect. But what is so refreshing about your videos, is you show the real challenges of gardening, which sometimes means things aren’t perfect. Thank you for this!

[@lisamakifit]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I circled back to gardening after about 15 years due to this pandemic! So glad I found you! 😁😁😁

[@carolinamoonslilenglishgar8580]

Love your channel , can’t wait for spring time:)

[@Suburbanoasis]

So long 2020....here comes a new year of gardening joy!

[@deenajurak4344]

Love you and your channel...May 2021 bring you all the best in your gardening adventures 🌷🌸🌺🌻

[@klk12399]

Thanks for your fun and informative videos. The thumbnail pic of you with the dahlias is simply stunning!

[@lchugh6187]

The end.... loved it!

[@GardenerPhyl]

I’m grateful for your channel Erin. Your gardening adventures and your humour were a boon to me thriving in what will go down in history as one of the worst years, ever. All the best in 2021 to you, Mr Muchmorepatient, and your magnificent dogs, Dorothy and Odin.

[@mbg4445]

I'm so glad I discovered your channel this year. And the ending "In Memoriam", just cracked me up. Love your sense of humor.

[@srhaven]

I loved this video. It was cathardic to relive 2020 in your garden and remember watching those videos and how they made me feel throughout the year. My own little garden, your videos as well as Laura's, Horttube, and Linda Vader have reminded me to find Joy. Thank you

[@maryanns6182]

So glad to have found your channel this year! I so appreciate your humor, sarcasm and swearing in the garden (and just in general😉) and also your love of end of day cocktails. Looking forward to some virtual sharing of gin and tonics this summer!!!! Chicago born but relocated 20 years now to NC zone 8a (and I don’t miss the snow and ice one bit!)

[@jessicamoran8962]

The garden was definitely a place of refuge but also of purpose. When we couldn't go or do, I had the garden to work on. I'm so thankful for that time.

[@kimbar11]

I’ve loved your channel this year. I’m in the suburbs of chicago and it’s fun to watch a nearby gardener.

[@pam4670]

I think the first video I watched you were tearing out the daylilies. I loved that because like you I remove what doesn't work for me. No guilt feelings

[@victoriafren4832]

Happy New Year!! I am so happy I discovered you this year!!! Thank you for inspiring me to garden and helping me to get through some long months at home!

[@cassandraberger9146]

Oh my god! The ending👏! I love your humor 😆👍👍

[@michellecarver101]

Love this...and that ending!!! You’re so funny!!!! Be blessed in the garden in 2021!!!

[@itsallaboutlight]

That end music is really pretty. I enjoy your journey. Thanks for sharing.

[@lajpromoemailsbainbridgeis508]

Thanks for always keeping it real, and for sharing your knowledge, experience and humor. The “In Memorium” ending is priceless!

[@wildesfam]

Thanks Erin for your videos. I appreciate your honesty and humor. I lived by Sun Prairie, so we’re in the same zone and love to see what thrives in your yard. Happy New Year!

[@janicemurphy4373]

💕 LOVED SEEING YOU, LOVE YOUR GARDEN 🪴 LOVED THIS VIDEO, LOOKING FORWARD TO 2021 I. FEEL EXCITED, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH,!!!!!

[@pennywomack8920]

Oh my word, the end ... hilarious! 😂🥰 You’re awesome! I enjoyed the review - brought to mind some videos I need to revisit that I’d forgotten and that I wanted to incorporate in my garden. Happy New Year!

[@darrinmc]

Thanks for all of your great videos this year. I planted a lot of new shrubs and started a collection of Sneeboer tools.

[@jennifernash4638]

❤️❤️❤️ I have really enjoyed finding and following you this crazy year. Thank you for all the work you put in teaching us newer gardeners!

[@sangeetaaich01]

Thank you for being so authentic,make us feel that it okay to be impatient.I will keep watching you this year again, and will try to learn more.

[@ydoyougarden]

Get out of my head Erin! As I am here making my own year in review your video came out 😃 Great, great video. I have to rewatch some of your 2020 videos. Can't wait to see what 2021 will bring 😃

[@briannadamico6752]

Love your videos! Can’t wait to see your year in review! 🌸

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Can't wait to see it, Yuliya!

[@gardeningbyheart4912]

We did the same for Christmas with my kids! My oldest visited with his wife from California and I was so thankful for the good weather we had the week they flew out. I did a ton of gardening this year with the pandemic, including dahlias for the first time, thanks to you. God bless Erin. Love your channel and your willingness to share. Have the happiest of New Years.

[@LizZorab]

I really enjoyed this look back over the year. New to your channel, so I'm off to watch some more videos.

[@WSK9778]

Loved your ending!

[@michelejoerres4165]

So glad I have found your channel! My husband and I built our house 20 years ago! The garden was an after thought until about 5 years ago when a very large silver maple had to be taken down! That one tree started my journey into gardening! The channels like yours, Wisconsin Gardener, and Garden Answer have helped and inspired me in my garden. I have a small almost half acre on a slope and its been a challenge but we are getting there! I am an avid watcher of Laura Garden Answer and that is how I came across your channel as well. I'm also a zone 5 Wisconsin! Thanks again for your inspiration! :)

[@JulesFahey]

Erin- you’re such an inspiration. We thank you for all the beauty and knowledge you provide us.

[@sandrasmith8100]

Happy New Year, thank you for sharing your love of gardening!

[@claudettestpierre487]

Excellent video! I just recently started subscribing to your channel. I too found solace and comfort in my garden during 2020. It kept me sane.

[@condritahenderson3763]

Hello Friend! Happy New Year! I look forward to your tips for Springs! Blessings in the new year!

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Erin - what a great video. 75 + videos - so much learning and fun! I LOVE your sense of humour and so important this year. The “in memoriam” was the best! I was laughing and crying. Happy Gardening 2021 and 🎉 Happy New Year 🎉

[@GardenEvolution]

Lol love the ending!

[@RevAcres01]

Erin, I found your channel this year and so happy to be apart of your group. Videos were inspiring and I really enjoyed the honestly not everything works according to plan. Here's to 2021 and more gardening adventures. Thank you.

[@gailbattaglia5800]

so glad I discovered you this year. I've learned so much from you and I love your sense of humor. Gardening has kept me sane this year!

[@dawndawn6946]

Happy new year, Erin! I missed so much in your garden in 2020. All the best!💗

[@lisaoswalt5233]

Happy New Year Erin & Mr Muchmore Patient! May you & your family be blessed, be fortunate, be healthy & feel the love surrounding you!!

[@lizteske4453]

75 videos is a big deal! I have so enjoyed your channel this year...I used to have a blog way back in the day and I commented on yours often and I am so glad to see you expand into this space as well! Your humor and no nonsense approach to gardening is fun and inspiring. I always felt like I tried to love daylilies but my heart just wasn’t in it and now I feel I can let that one go since Erin doesn’t like them either. 😜.

[@danicacase3390]

Thank you Erin! This year was just horrible as I lost my father. I was already a subscriber in 2019 but my garden helped me deal with my grief as my father loved gardening. I deal with perfectionism and your real life attitude is so refreshing. Thank you for the inspiring me

[@lovelyladygodbless143]

Happy new year to yo Erin had enjoy your garden in the last year lots of beautifull flowers specialy the dahlias love it well done can wait to enjoy this year 🌹...God bless you and family with a healty properous year much love 😊🎆🇳🇱

[@carmenbailey1560]

Loved all your videos, and for the first time the over view of your property was beautiful to see. Thanks and look forward to your videos in 2021. 👍❤️😊

[@JesseJamesPigon]

Living in a tropical country within an area that gets bombarded by several cyclones, we also often have flooding. Plants are very resilient, it surprised me that even drought loving plants can survive being under water for several days. 😆 cheers to a bountiful 2021 Erin!

[@dianericci325]

Have enjoyed you this year, I’m new to your channel, and like how real and talented you are..can’t wait for spring 2021..

[@kimberlyhughes9826]

Thank God you only lost plants! When I saw In Memorium, I thought you'd lost a dog. Thank you for your videos. I've been particularly interested in your new garden. I, too, garden at the edge of the woods, shade & part sun, SW Michigan, 3 blocks from the lake with lots of deer :). I've learned a lot from you about appropriate plants. I'm entertained and inspired by all that you do. ! My garden, my pups, my garden & cooking videos, and my wine have sustained me during this tough time, but I still miss my peeps. I wish you and healthy and much better 2021! Keep it coming!!

[@namienamva5706]

I really love your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us...you are a gift!

[@dianahamilton8749]

Erin you have the best sense of humor!🤣

[@shelldub7258]

I love your channel!! Your memorial at the end was hilarious! I think we all have victims in our gardens. 😃 Happy New Year! 😊🌱

[@sherrywalker4619]

You have so got me addicted to Dahlias!!! I so love them!

[@lisac8082]

It is a great community! Gardeners that is. Glad to be a part of it. Happy New Year to you and yours and all your subscribers! Spring is just around the corner! 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🪴🌺🥀🌻

[@Michellemybelle1996]

Happy New Year! Enjoyed the recap. I’m in zone 5 west MI so planting similar to you and love The Big Lake (45min from me). Thanks for sharing your garden, love seeing your progress, learning and the fails. You are funny and inspirational- loved the ending 😂

[@capobiancocreations7946]

You are so right about people discovering that they had yards!

[@SmallHoldingAtHillhigh]

Erin, THANK YOU for helping to get us through this year... and thanks for introducing me to When the Party Is Over - East of Heaven feat. Brianna Sarikcioglu!

[@nmp6338]

You are such a lovely, inspirational gardener. You have given me many moments of joy during this difficult year. I love your personality and your honest and practical approach to gardening

[@emptynestgardens9057]

I am so truly grateful for rediscovering gardening from my late 20's now 52. You have given me so much inspiration along with Garden Answer, Y Garden & Flower Hill Farm but more than that I feel like I have 4 friends with me everyday in the garden. 🌻 Here's to a great 2021 of growing & healing. 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🍾🥂🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

[@ydoyougarden]

I feel the same!

[@mybahe1]

Thank you for the re cap of your 20/20 season in your garden. I agree with you, that even though things beyond our control made every day a challenge. I was also able to spend a great deal more time in my garden , exploring and planting new found flowers, shrubs and trees thanks to finding channels like yours...and others..😉 But all in all...it was a great summer to be a gardener. To be able to have the time to appreciate the wonders and the beauty of it all. 🌺

[@kathygericke8367]

Thank you so much for your inspiring videos- they have been a hi light that I really look forward to!! Not only has the world been in chaos but this summer I suffered a broken shoulder but because gardeners help other gardeners my dear flower friend came numerous times to work on my flowers... dead heading and fertilizing-so thankful for her help!! Looking forward to spring and more inspiration!!❤️

[@gerkinsaregreen]

The end! 😂😂😂😂 well done lovely! You’ve had a pretty ‘full’ year. All the best for 2021. Love from Australia! X

[@phyllisroark8526]

I watched you and Laura and I still am lost as where to start lol. BUTTTTT I have loved watching all year and can't wait to see what you have instore for us in 2021! BIG THANK YOU for what you do for us, unknowingly.

[@darrylsharongrimaldi2040]

Well done! I too would recommend winter sewing for newbies. I tried it for the first time last year and had good success. I picked cold tolerant flowers and veggies. Sure I had some failures, but what lived in my garden was such a joy, and I found what I could repeat. I also saved seeds that I can tryout this year. Everyone should give it a try as it is so cost effective --fun to do with kids. Good luck growing, everyone

[@redlantern3371]

Gardening is a symbol of life and with the Pandemic death/sickness all around the world, I am so grateful that at least we have something tangible to hang onto. Better times are ahead and thank you for reaching out to us on your channel this year and showing us the good, the bad, and yes, even the ugly. Happy New Year Erin!

[@Kacey90]

I really love this video and the ending made me cackle! 😂 the music and the comments you added.. Perfect! I can totally relate to the loss and humor of the plants that just couldn't hang. I'm so excited to see the content you put out next year. 💚

[@johnandcarolestanley-stanl1558]

I love your sense of humor, the memoriam made me laugh out loud! May 2021 bring you much success, good memories and tons of laughable moments, Happy New Year!

[@gardengal26]

I'm so glad I found you in 2020! I've really enjoyed your videos along with a few other gardeners I've found. The garden has definitely been more of a refuge this year and I was more inspired than ever to do new things. Looking forward to 2021 and seeing your new videos as well as continuing all of my projects!🌻🌺🌹🏵🌷🌼🌱

[@SarahReganSnavely]

I love your channel ❤️ so smart and clever!

[@gabthechef3790]

Erin, your seed organizer helped me finally get on top of my ever growing seed collection and makes it so much easier to plan the next season. Thank you! Looking forward to your videos in the new year.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks Erin. Year in review is a great way to see how your gardens have developed💚🙃 RIP day lilies, not a fan of those. I do have some that are more tolerable to me. Mine is a very newly developing garden. After years of life, work, kids,more work, watching grandchildren I’m finally able to devote time for my over grown garden. It’s slow going, I had to rip out a massive bed of wild raspberry bushes this summer, I’m sure I’ll be dealing with those for years, any way, that’s the area I’m devoting my attention to. Someday I’m hoping my garden will be pleasing to look at. I don’t really have a plan, I just wing it as budget allows. Thanks again for taking us on your gardening journey💚🙃

[@VelvetandToads]

Yes, the year went by so fast and so slow at the same time! It was exactly that!

[@marianhintz9981]

I know how you feel when you were talking about the pressure of people coming to walk thru your gardens. I was in a county garden walk and it is very stressful preparing for it. I wanted it to be perfect and that was silly of me. Your comment about seeing the garden thru other people eyes is right on. We just need to relax and enjoy what we love to do!! Thanks for all the inspiration this year!! You were a bright spot in a year full of darkness!!😊❤️ looking forward to what you will do in 2021!

[@angelaviehland2705]

Loved the ending, we all need to pay our respects to what we lost so we can move forward to what we will do in 2021. Learned so much from your garden and approach to managing a garden. Excited to triple my garden, add drip irrigation with an integration into our water collection system and grown 50% of the food we eat. Starting to plan and get ready to grow my first seeds. Here’s to an even better 2021.

[@thebestduofr1210]

I love the end!! Thankful I found you through Laura this year.

Thanks for the work you put in to make videos!! I was inspired to buy bulbs last year, which I just planted, so cheers to Spring 2021!

[@joansmith3492]

The end was the best! LOL Well done. Happy New Year!

[@marilynruggeberg]

Laura's Channel is how I found your Channel. She mentioned your Channel over a year ago, so I checked it out and never left. 🥰. I live in Iowa Zone 5 on the Mississippi River so my climate is more like yours. Her Winters are very different from ours. Yours are pretty much the same. She can plant much earlier than we can and we went thru the Polar Vortex together. 😬. Love Your Channel and looking forward to 2021 with you. 💕

[@jeannet9592]

Love the ending. Too funny as usual.

[@jack6964]

I found your channel this year and I am so glad that I did! Happy holidays!!

[@TheEydaos]

Omg, the end. LOL!

[@TheLinrose88]

I’m so glad I found you on KZbin, all of your comments ring true to me, very real no sugar coating. I smiled and nodded yes all the way through your 2020 in review video. We just went through a new well drilling which went right through some of my gardens. You have to roll with the changes!

[@lisabane8739]

I was inspired by your amaryllis advice (3 in a pot) and got amazing results...tried to drop pics here but it didn't work. Love your practical advice!
