Did I Hear You on the Radio? / Raspberry Beds? 🌿// Garden Answer

[@gabrielag9846]

I envy Laura's ability to respond to sass with class. Some of those comments seemed so rude, but she never responds with rudeness. What a patient woman.

[@Yesi25310]

Thats exactly what i was gona say! Like the comment about throwing away the trimmings instead of keeping them under the mulch i was like ewwwww lol and Laura responded so well

[@sharongrass4679]

And the question about wether she gets her plants free at her parents garden center. How is that their business.

[@cholefreed]

I thought the same thing. Especially the one about leaving the tulip leaves to break down. Laura obviously knows what she's doing.

[@heatherw.2751]

Couldn't agree more! Sometimes people forget their manners (or never had them to begin with) when they're behind a keyboard. Laura is such a classy, sweet, inspirational lady! I'm not sure I could be quite as nice as her at times like those.

[@sheila5707]

Hi Laura and Aaron, You mentioned that you like hearing what is working for us...there are so many things. Before I met you, I killed everything including a Ponytail Palm; which is almost impossible. Now, my garden is amazing. The things that has helped me the most is bio-tone, water soluble fertilizer, learning to prune properly, etc....but mostly the amount of confidence I've gained from watching you. You make it seem so easy, then it becomes so rewarding. I love the daily surprises in my garden. Of all the creators, I find you two the most relatable and your passion is contagious. Aaron, we all give Laura a lot of the credit because she is in front of the camera, but what you do is equally as incredible. We are so thankful that you share your life with us. Much love from Missouri.

[@carolynmangipudi9898]

100 % agree so very thankful for Laura. and Aaron sharing everything with the public. I am get inspired everytime I watch any video. Especially, pruning established plants/trees petrified me. I am encouraged when I have followed Lauras advisement..and cut what ever plant down and it's coming back. Exciting for me on all levels. Thank you team Garden Answer. I am excited to see your continued growth on KZbin and appreciate you everyday 🙏🙋‍♀️

And why isn't Proven Winners taking those pots back? Seriously though, for the amount of business she brings them, they should give her (see: free) whatever plants she wants. She could just as easily drop them tomorrow and switch to one of the other big growers (Monrovia, etc.).

I really appreciate that Laura puts in this much effort in answering our questions, always with sincerity and positivity even when some questions can sound rude or close to condescending, at least to me. Maybe I'm over-reacting. Anyways, absolutely love these Q&A videos, they are definitely one of my favourites on KZbin!

[@HappyCats17]

Some of them sound rude and nosy to me, too, but I try to remember that it's easy to misread text, as opposed to hearing something in person, and plus, some people are just more blunt, you know? Also some non-native English speakers use words that perhaps sound more harsh than they might mean to sound, if that makes sense.

[@GlamSN]

@@HappyCats17 Oh I completely agree! and I also try to give benefit of doubt as much as I can, but it just struck me again today that Laura and Aaron are doing a tremendous work in communicating with general public in a way that can be very challenging sometimes. I love these videos and I hope this routine continues for a long long time! 😁

[@jessicamoran8962]

I find it satisfying to do "some" deadheading and weed pulling... it's a stress reliever when you hear the snap or get the root.

[@MsSusieStone]

It sad when a shrub or box woods die but I really like to dig them out. Gives me some peace to know that it‘s out and gone instead of just cutting it back hard and letting it decompose in the ground. Deadheading and weed pulling is the same for me. So satisfying to see weeds or spent blooms gone and everything is tidy again after 😎👍🏻

[@mayal5805]

You handle every question with such grace, thank you for your wonderful nature and wisdom!

Went to a garden centre on Saturday. A lot of precautions (numbers, distancing, directional flow, time limits, you touch you buy) but felt sooo good. Our last frost date is in a couple of weeks but I have been slow/lazy to put out cool crops. Thank goodness cause we have below freezing for a couple of days now. Some asparagus tips are damaged but my volunteer chamomile is thriving. Concentrating my efforts on my tomato and peppers indoors which are weed-like. Instead of reducing seedlings, I'm dividing and giving away to family, friends and neighbours.

You are so nice and compassion flashing other smaller garden youtubers like Epic Garden, Linda Vater or Planterina on your channel and helping them in times of need. I love these recap videos so much and would also love to hear that radio gig you mentioned!

Absolutely love your strength and confidence, it has helped me so much get my butt back into gardening. I let stuff go and it is a overwhelming task to start again.....weeds weeds and more weeds, all in clay soil.

For the person asking about filling in soil when planting their window boxes, I once saw a video (I don't remember the channel to give him proper credit) where the gardener, after mostly filling the container with soil, placed all his plant cans in the container at the proper height, pulled out the plants leaving just the cans, then filled in around the cans with more soil. He replaced the cans with the plants in those soil holes. I thought that was an easy and clean way to fill a large container and have used that method several times.

In lower MI the rule is no planting annuals or summer garden crops like tomatoes in the ground until Memorial weekend. This is why.

Our average last frost date for the city is April 5, and for our area outside of the urban area, it's March 29. We had frost throughout our farm, but we survived by watering heavy at midnight and then again at 4:45 AM before the sun came up. Our most tender crops were covered with everything we had. We ended up covering over 50 plants with paper grocery bags, which turned out to be a really good method. I feel for people that put all the hard work into their gardens and were not as fortunate.
