I rarely comment, but I have to agree with the person who said people should mind their own business. The entire Garden Answer family seems like the most amazing, loving, and gracious family. Please remember that this is their life they are choosing to share with us. They are not inviting you to comment on how they live their life, how they raise their children, how they worship, their political views, or any other aspect of their lives that are none of our business. Let’s try not to pass judgement on the lives of others but be grateful we have the privilege of getting a glimpse into such a wholesome family who love each other and always try to do the right things.

I agree that complaining or criticizing is out of place just because you don't agree with something you see. However, please remember that posting on any platform or social media is absolutely making space for public comment. There is always the button to remove comments should one choose this option. But what they were referring to wasn't a comment. It was a call from a viewer to the Oregon food bank and they (food bank) were the ones following up on the call. But I do agree with you, that it was a ludicrous complaint.

Her one daughter decided to put a pool in at her own house. My neighbor told me how sad she was because they would not come nearly as much as they did.

I think when the kids are on the play set and court when it’s hot they might like to just jump in the pool.Laura’s parents are working, so they are not visiting with them while they are in their pool during the week. With the plus 100 degrees weather it would be nice to have a pool. Also maybe Aaron may not feel comfortable going to his in-laws for a swim at any given time. If they are creating a fun zone for family friends and themselves why not include a pool. Might as well do it while they are doing all this infrastructure.

I watch every video and I am not a gardener. I enjoy the sweet way you deliver content. In a world of ugliness and Food Bank Karens you are a welcome place to land. Your success in living your passion is so wonderful. Your property is so beautiful. The pond is AMAZING. People who snark about you getting discounts or even freebies don't know how You Tube and the value of content creators work. A company giving you something that you mention on your channel is worth a lot of business to them. We get the benefit of finding out about good products we need to solve a problem. The Snarkers and the Karens need to tune into some channel for complainers.

Here's an idea for you: If Samantha's bruised eye is still visable: Have her picture made with a pair of boxing gloves! When our son was two, he fell while carrying a metal cookie tin and got a black eye. I borrowed some boxing gloves and had his picture taken with the gloves in his lap. So cute! He was wearing a red/white/blue tank top & shorts, plus had on high top tennis shoes. The boxing gloves were red. I love that picture of him even to this day. (He's an adult w/ kids of his own). What was an accident, could be made into a treasured memory. Just a thought. Blessings, Janell

I love you guys!! I could listen to you "discuss" all day. I chuckle outloud everytime...Thank You! People can be so rude and insensitive to others! What business is it of the woman who called the Food Bank, what you do with ANYTHING that you choose to give away. Please don't let those kind of people get to you. We love you, you are such a big part of our lives and we all find so much joy in you. I agree that your parents love the family coming over to swim. They get to see the kiddos so much more now while they're little, than they will when they get older and more involved with their own friends. Then, maybe a pool for yourselves would make more sense.

Good morning from SC. After watching the episode on planting the ferns in the 'head' vases, I was at a local boutique that sold contemporary face planters. Bought one not knowing what I would do with it. Home Depot had small hanging baskets of Tradescantia 'Pink Panther' that I purchased and just slide that pot into the face planter. Voila! Instant hair. You and Aaron are so generous in every area, take no heed of people that are referred to as 'Debbie Downers'

I assure you...fried green tomatoes is not "just a southern thing". I live in NY and at my local farm they purposely pick beautiful green tomatoes for me. You can eat them alone, in a sandwich, with or without other ingredients in your sandwich. I use the smaller ones, cut into chunks & fried for salads or make a half sheet of assorted roasted/grilled vegetables. Super simple. S&P, garlic & onion powder and choose your breading - flour, corn meal, bread crumbs - any one or all 3. Fannie Flagg has "the original" recipe in her books.😊

We had a brick wall surrounding our patio at our first house that was a little wonky. I wanted to take it down and waited to long. Our 3 year old (who is now 40) climbed on it and it fell and broke his leg. I know you have had the fireplace inspected but if it is dilapidated, I suggest you take it down sooner than later. You mentioned your concern for the kids when you cut down tree branches or use tools. I kept getting thinking of my wall and the nagging need to not mention my experience. Hope I'm not over stepping. Maybe Bethany can use the bricks or the food bank 😁

Laura, I think it’s great that you want to save the pool time for your parents house. What a great way to spend time together. Thank you for all your inspiration. One say when you give onto Aaron and when your children are older and you want to keep them home and have their friends choose your house to hang out they do make natural looking pools. Ones that look like rec pond but have no eco system, our friends had one put in. It has a gradually slope entry like a beach which travels to the deep end. The liner is dark so it looks like you are entering a natural pond. They have plants and rock landscaped edges to give it a more natural look. However it still has all the filters to keep it clean.

Wow Laura, people like reporting you! First the ‘great bird hatching fiasco’, now you’re sending scraps to pigs! What a menace!😂 PS, I definitely agree with you on the pool thing. Dig in on that one. You”ll miss quality time with your parents if you get your own!

Laura, when my son was 9 he and a buddy and my hubby were playing baseball in our very small backyard. Our son walked in front of the friend as he was swinging the aluminum bat. Put him in the ground. It hit him right on the cheek bone. After 2 phone calls, away to ER we went. They were talking that if the bone had broken and gone into his sinus, it would require surgery! By this this time I was there with the friend and our son, because hubby had to leave for a call. Everyth8ng turned out fine, no surgery required, but son had a bruise that covered the whole side of his face. Took weeks to go away. You’re, right, kids have NO spatial awareness. Sometimes I felt we needed to,wrap him in bubble wrap! Glad Samantha is ok, but the memory will stick,with you and Aaron.

I just LOVE y’all! I love your blogs but I LOVE how you and Aaron interact. I love how y’all love your families. I am 76. I’ve been a gardener for many years but I’ve had to cut back and slow down. You, your family, your vlog give me joy. I watch everyday. Your gardens are gorgeous and you created them from bare land. I love your energy, your design, your vision for the future. Keep it up and take a break when you need it. ❤️ we’ll be here when you get back. ❤️

For Mothers Day, my daughters took me to a flower arranging class at a local florist. They soak the flower head in slightly warmer than air temp water for 10 mins to hydrate. Then they cut the stem on the diagonal and immediately did the stem in Alum powder then place the stem in conditioned (like Floralife) water. Replace the water in the vase with conditioned water every 3 days. They lasted over a week!

I agree, announcing everything you give away sounds self serving. Tell just enough to encourage others to do the same like Aaron said. Feed the pigs, they are going to feed people, good enough. Besides it is yours, this is not a socialist country yet!😊
