I need to tell you that after the death of my daughter I started to suffer with servere depression, I could not even get out of bed for a very long time. Discovering your channel two years ago, your posts have given me the motivation to get outside and revamp my garden. I receive so much joy from seeing things grow and now I am able to smile and really mean it. Laura and Aaron you do not know what you have done for me, saved my life almost. Also the plants you have introduced to me are such a lovely surprise, Hostas Heucheras and tiarellas are not common plants grown here in Melbourne Australia. I love them so much. Thank you Laura, I will always be so grateful to you for helping me get my life back.

[@stephaniepeterson7515]

[@Uncle_Scotts_Terraria]

Laura, when you say that you didn’t go to school for garden design you’re ignoring the years of “schooling” that you got growing up and working at your parents garden center. And then you built an incredibly successful KZbin channel with over a million subscribers. You’re probably more experienced in practical landscape garden design than most working landscape designers. Don’t sell yourself short. You always give credit to Aaron for handling the technical side of your channel, but everything else? That’s all you, my friend.

[@DebzZi]

Amen!

[@nspector]

I understand what she means, though, as far as needing to see something as it's developing in order to know what she wants to do next. I am the same. I'm not nearly nearly as experienced as Laura, but I've been asked a couple of times to give garden design advice to people, and nope. I *could* do it. But not well and not enjoying it. So, I don't see it as her selling herself short, more just knowing what she likes doing and is good at.

Quick thought on the merch. Instead of selling the actual 5 gallon buckets, maybe you could sell a vinyl wrap that we can buy and put on our own 5 gallon buckets? That way it wouldn’t be so expensive to ship but we can still romance the ordinary. 😊 Just a thought.

[@krosa2471]

Excellent suggestion!

[@junesmart7352]

My thought as soon as buckets were mentioned. Maybe a canvas insert/liner that has divisions/pockets for tools, etc. And maybe a plain version, or one with limited pockets. The canvas lip would be outside the bucket and have the Garden Answer logo!

[@lucpar23]

I'd buy it

[@kymridl]

I was also not allowed to have a Nintendo or any game console growing up. I hated it at the time because "all my friends have one!" but I look back on it now and I realize it was such a blessing from my parents. I spent my childhood days running around our farm and learning all about plants and animals from my dad (hearing the memories he had from growing up on the same farm.) I know now I was so lucky and I have wanted a small farm of my own since I was 14. Any child who gets to experience life in the country is truly blessed. There is nothing else like it in the world!

Hi I’m not sure if this will get to you or not but Ms. Carlene Thompson , you can go to your local grocery store, (in the bakery department) and ask if they have any buckets that they would like to get rid of. Most of the time the bulk frosting they get comes in 5 gallon buckets, they are food grade and free. You can spray paint them or cover the outside with fabric. Just make sure you drill some holes in the bottom like any other bucket.

[@carlaprice413]

Auger tip. To prevent expense of multiple big augers, I use a 4”auger and drill 3 holes next to each other in a circle. Those big drills are pricey so I save twice. Once for the auger and again on the industrial size drill. Wish I’d had one of these years ago. They are a dream come true.

[@annehedlund7333]

Great idea to do three holes but with the smaller auger sort of like Laura was saying it also fluffs up the edges so that the plant doesn't exactly fill up the hole.

Here’s a suggestion for “Romancing the ordinary” 5-gallon bucket: you design a fabric tool caddy that attaches to the bucket for your merch. The customer buys the caddy from you and buys the bucket at their local bigbox store.

Oh my word! You're discussion about doing landscape design just spoke to me. Like you, I do it at an "amateur" level for my husband's landscaping company and while I actually enjoy it, I definitely know the frustration of designing something and then the customer (who had no idea what they wanted in the first place) wants to change things all around or requests things that you're sure are going to look a mess.

Recently in these comments and videos I've noticed alot of talk about gardens having different personalities, traits, maturity levels, and qualities. Well, I was wondering if anyone else views gardens and landscapes as kind of a "being" if you will. Having a Persona. Idk it just feels like a very special connection with nature that "Garden answer" (and it's community) are the embodiment of. Not trying to sell you any unnecessary things that don't work, or being looped into political topics and drama on the news. It's such a special thing that's going on here and it's awesome. I think most viewers will agree that watching these videos isn't just "watching a video" garden answer just has something special that gets people outside and encourages the best in people. I can't not talk about garden answer to people at least 3 times a day.

Hi Laura, I have to say that I did go to school for horticulture but learned everything I know now because of hands on knowledge and experience. I don't want to deter anyone from going to college, it was fun but not the same as learning through trial and error, whatever works for you, it's your space and that's what I do in my space. I don't have a set plan, it's always evolving. It's fun and is an exceptionally beautiful experience. I get it, I hate being asked to plan other people's gardens as well. I get asked a lot but I feel like it becomes my responsibility to make it look good all the time. (Give Russell some love, I think he wanted you to cradle him in your arms.) My cat's are love bugs like he is.

First time commenting here and just wanted to say that this video had me laughing a lot. You guys are great. Thank you for the laughs! Being chased by a bull as a little girl certainly sounds magical! 😂 Many blessings to you both. 💕🪴🌷🌹🌳

Russell is just... the paw on mommy's chest... 😍 oh so sweet! Thank you for the Q&A. Always lots of good content.

Thank you for introducing us to hose link. I purchased one and loved it so much I purchased another. Now i have one faucet left that I hate to use because its a job to roll the hose in. My husband looked at me struggling the other day and said buy another hose link. OMG thanks honey , I didn't tell him that I had already placed the order the day before.

Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! Lol. The animal children are more needy than the human children😂 I’m a patio gardener but I’d love to see an auger video.These videos are so awesome. Thank you! I think it would be super helpful for those of us who are visual. I love the interaction between you and Aaron. The perfect juxtaposition and balance.

Watching from Singapore where I live now because of work. I'm in an apartment and I so enjoy your videos. Seeing you both plan out and grow your new garden is making me miss my own garden back in Ireland. So looking forward to the rest of the year as you are juggling so many elements and its so fun to watch. Happy Gardening to you both!!

Awww....Russell is such a sweet boy. He loves his Mom.

Darn, I was fast asleep last night when this video came out! Lol. No problem, I have my morning coffee & watching & I love Russell! I’m feeding an orange Charlie that someone that probably dumped outside. I wish I could bring him inside but we have 4 dogs! I love him so much & I will find him a home!❤️❤️

Kids do still build forts, my two (4 & 9) build them in our trees and out of our couch cushions lol

LOVE hearing your nostalgic music choices... Laura, love how musical your family was, and a wonderful musical range. LOL - Feety jammies and Dan Fogelberg. Aaron's choice - Todd Rundgren is so fun "70s", and Chicago was amazing back then... both wrote wonderful lyrics. Thanks to you both for the big smiles on this video. You're the best.

Love watching the progress of everything. Just a thought about the 5 gallon bucket comment. It would be awesome for you to design a sticker or decal to go on buckets with your logo or quotes such as "romancing the ordinally". Just a thought and much easier to ship!😉

I love when I see ye both laugh togethor. When I wake in the morning the first thing I do is check to see if you have uploaded a new video. Im addicted!!!

[@maryram3412]

Love your advise on focusing on a zone. My yard overwhelms me when I see all the work that’s needed. I’m going to try to focus on single areas. Thank you Laura and Aaron. You give me hope. 😊

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! This was another fun recap video. I always enjoy these, especially with Aaron interacting more. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@carolinenelson3621]

Laura I LOVE that you said your childhood was magical!!! 🥰 Other than my best friend I grew up with, I’ve never heard someone say that. We remember countless great times and really enjoyed being a kid. So many carefree magical days- and yes we were OUTSIDE! We are so blessed. Glad you had a magical childhood too. 💜🙌
