Calling The Hartley a glass greenhouse, is like calling Benjamin, Ben or Samantha Grace, Sam. It's just wrong! Please don't bow to the naysayers and negative people. Call a spade a spade and The Hartley a Hartley. 💜💜💜

I hear your concern about "KZbin burnout". That fear of making every holiday contrived. You should take a peek at a channel called "Good Mythical Morning". They have done an amazing job at lasting on KZbin for probably over 10 years because they treat it like a normal job. They post Monday through Friday and all their fans are 100% okay with them having the weekends off. They also take a week off every spring break, summer, fall break, and Christmas/New Years. And everyone still supports them. I think alot of youtubers get burnt out because they feel like they have to perform and frantically shove out videos or else people will stop watching. Don't have that fear. We are your fans. We support you having breaks!

[@christinefunk3208]

I agree completely!! There should be days where you just enjoy your garden and your family without cameras. It is your job and I'd be sad to see you to get to the point that you tire of your garden because it's a chore to keep up the videos. You're not there yet, obviously, but Aaron has a good point. Make it manageable for the long-term. We love you guys!!

I will never understand why others are bothered by your hair or clothing choices. If you are happy/comfortable then that is all that matters. People have got to stop pushing their feelings onto you.

[@grannybee573]

I also agree. It’s nice of people, but it was getting weird and excessive. If mail time returns, I will choose not to watch. I was beginning to feel very uncomfortable because it was too much. I like the idea of making donations to charities instead.

[@bwebster4835]

Could you just do a video of everything already opened and use that as a way to thank everyone? Run through each item and who its from? It would cut a lot less time or even run it as a credit at the end of the weekly q and a with a listing of thanks if you felt you needed to post something. To me cut the mail time and spend that time with your family!! Ppl we're starting to use you for PR and that's not worth your time unless its a product you truly believe in. It's one thing to help promote a friend but to spend as much time on stuff like that as you do and take away from your real life is wrong. It nice for ppl to send thoughtful gifts if they choose but also could be teaching the wrong msg to young ones that people will just send you stuff for putting yourself out there, not that that's what you are teaching them, that's not what I mean. It just got out of hand a bit

Was that Laura in a baseball cap and PONYTAIL at 36:50? Alert the media! I've been waiting for the announcement that there were only going to be five videos per week, plus the recap, and I want you to know that I support this change in schedule. With two small children you need a "weekend" in your week. We'll still be getting six videos per week and then there is your entire history we can revisit if we really need a GA fix, so to speak. Enjoy your time off. Spend time with your children, read a book, make plans, take a nap, wander around the beautiful gardens you have created without having to work in them. I hope this change and the new voice over-style videos lighten your load and help you keep your channel fresh for many years to come. ~ Lisa

[@lovestogarden3132]

Laura, you bring us all so much joy because you are authentic in all you do! If you start changing yourself to please anyone else in KZbin land or in your personal life you open yourself up to unhappiness and all that it brings. Sad and hurt people like to criticize and judge others to make themselves feel better instead of fixing their own problems. There is NOTHING pretentious about you!!! You are a special and unique person that has such a loving and generous soul. That’s why you have such a large following. Don’t you go putting your light under a bushel!!!!!! Let it continue to shine for all you interact with in all facets of your life! It’s a great example to others to do the same. So, wear your hair how YOU like, wear the clothes YOU like and call that beautiful greenhouse The Hartley! Own it girl!!! 🌸💖🌸

So, yes, Laura, your home could have had an outhouse not that long ago.

@@michellezimmerman7827 My grandparents also had a pump at the sink, added sometime after my mother left home to go to nurses training in 1945. Prior to that, they carried water from the spring.

Ideas for non-project based/hot day videos for this summer: - cooking with produce from your harvest - indoor succulent planter or succulent tips - indoor fairy garden - hanging out with your mom - tour of another persons garden - plant/area updates (there’s a lot you’ve planted earlier this season or late last season that we’d love to see the progress on) - you guys have done these re-edit videos where you compile footage from an area throughout the years or a project from start to finish. We’d love to see that again and doesn’t require new footage, that would just be all Ken! Just some thoughts! Love you guys and don’t want you to feel stressed out filming in the heat of the day just to make a video for us. We’d watch so many other things as well because we love spending time with you!

[@carolinebeck807]

I distinctly remember Laura saying when they hit a million subscribers maybe she should do a video in a tank top and ponytail. I don't believe that has happened yet

[@michelleh7133]

Plenty of time, they are nowhere near a million. 🙂

[@susanmitchell2687]

@@michelleh7133 actually they are at 1.33 MILLION!

[@carolinebeck807]

I should have been more explicit. It was when they reached a million on Garden Answer Channel.

The Hartley videos will be my SUPERBOWL! I cannot wait! For the big event, I propose official hashtag of #HATSOFFHARTLEYUPHAIRDOWN

[@tracyrhyno35]

You and your family are amazing people! I am so grateful for you, your knowledge, your channel & all that you share 💗 Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for being you, & for all that you do💗 Stay well and keep safe xo

[@lindaleedurham345]

I wish all your videos were at least 30 minutes long. More coffee time in the morning and to get me cranked up to go outside and get to work. Love it when some of your videos turn out to be an hour long. I've learned so much from you in the past 6 months of finding your channel. I have watch every video now and crave more. I guess I'm gonna have to go back a rewatch em again. I bet you could "own it" if you gardened here in Kentucky. We get rain, our soil is rich and grows about anything you could want. Wish I could garden like you do with all your plant knowledge and your ability to design beautiful flower beds. I'm too old and my body in bad shape now to do so much. We do have a garden that is almost an acre this year. My root cellar is getting bare, hence the big garden again. Love your channel, keep it up.

[@susankilpatrick2918]

I think it’s okay NOT to share mail time! Please do what’s right for you!

[@claytoncomeaux414]

The first and most important thing I've learned from Laura is that the garden will always be a work in progress. Makes it easier for me to try things without the fear of failure stopping any progress. 😍

[@cindyannefontenot]

When you were planting in your greenhouse with the shade cloth, I thought “Wouldn’t it be nice if Laura did a tour of all she has hanging in there…even if they’re in their garden cans.” It’s just a thought when you have these 100+ days ahead. What type of greenhouse is it?

[@Christom672]

108 degrees f is about 42 degrees c. That is unimaginable to us here in the UK. I am in North West of England and the best we’ve had for the last few weeks is 17-18c (about 65ish) We class that as a lousy summer (especially as it’s wet a lot of the time) but it is fairly normal for us. We get overly excited when we have a run of 22-25c 🙄. On the upside we are forecast 22c sometime during the next 2 weeks (for about 5 days) and will count ourselves extremely lucky if it actually happens! We still have lovely gardens though - just not for as long a season as you. No wonder we Brits are obsessed with the weather 🙄 and we who follow you live our gardening dreams vicariously through your wonderful, inspirational and motivating videos. Keep them coming as it keeps us going! 😊

[@debbie4766]

Enjoyed your voice over. Please do more. Relax I'm amazed all you do with 2 little ones...voice over and any thing else to make things easy and I for one like seeing things from different perspectives. If that makes sense.BUT I truly enjoy how consistent you are with putting out a video every morning. Very professional. I appreciate your hard work. Take care and enjoy those children.

[@shirleyc7175]

Does not seem right for you to call the HARTLEY( the glass green house) my vote is the Hartley. You need to have a beautiful sign made with gold leaf (the Hartley ) .

[@debiedove8807]

❤️👏👏

[@amyleach1351]

Love that idea!😊👍

[@karronlaneNOLA]

i like you calling it the Hartley. Call it what it is :-)

[@ruthmazurek8958]

I can't wait for fall either. Pretty much every year beginning on July 5th I'm ready for fall!

[@debraflecker151]

Me too!

[@margareteraab3899]

Couldn't agree more. Hate all this humidity in Michigan.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Had a chuckle when someone was worried about properly positioning sunflower seeds. Anyone who feeds the birds and squirrels, even if they don't garden, knows how easy sunflowers are to grow from seed. The chipmunks and squirrels use to plant tons of them for me, lol.

[@OMGitsaClaire]

Lots of charities love it when they get fresh fruits and veggies from gardeners. The charity that my church in my hometown supports loves nothing more than adding things like fresh peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash to their weekly family food boxes. And the families that receive them are always so grateful. It’s a nice change from the canned foods and dried goods they get every week.

[@NatureAndBee]

Totally agree!👍👍👍

[@coloraturaElise]

Laura has given her produce to charities in her area every year since she started in this property.

[@NatureAndBee]

@@coloraturaElise She is really sweet! I planned some squashes, tomatoes and cucumbers in my back yard. Look forward to having a harvest so I can donate some to the community food Charity🌅🌱🌻🦋🦋🦋

[@nicolemorris714]

Go right on and keep calling it the Hartley, because the second you stop, new viewers are going to start asking what kind it is, and all us GA vets are used to it! 🤣

[@melissalorang3304]

STUDIO ECHO IDEA: I remember you talking about trying to improve the acoustics in the studio and also your desire to add some color, maybe try hanging come long curtains on one of the plain walls (not over the windows). Should instantly warm up the space aesthetically and tonality wise.

[@sca6769]

The maintenance video was my recent favorite. Plus, it’s motivation in this horrid heat. My vote is for more day-in-the-life content.

[@dstcfsg9043]

Love the recaps. Maybe if we all recapped our week, we’d learn to remove the nonsense and find ways to make each day more meaningful and enjoyable.

[@observer4497]

I look forward to the start and the end of every beautiful day sitting with myself and /or my Husband, enjoying the simple pleasures in life… A cup of coffee and the motivation to go and grow in the garden…Your videos are so inspiring. Don’t ever feel bad about not being able to show everything that goes on in your life, raising children changes everything and most people understand….

[@NitroAnna]

I love these recap videos the most. You two get so real in these videos. I love the banter, the honesty, and both your personalities coming through even more so in these videos than others you do.

[@DonnaDavisArt]

I 100 percent agree with the temp 50 to 65 F is my IDEAL as well, tho I feel a bit spoiled, as I live in Coastal New England and today , after our rain storm, it's only in the low 70's. You should move to New England Laura :) You wont have your soil issue (we grow blueberries and very blue hydrangea with native soil) but get ready for Rabbits and Deer and snails :) Concerning hats I wear my old Big brimmed gardening hat EVERY day and also long sleeves tucked in gloves and sometimes, depending on the insects, I wrap netting around my hat and face like an Edwardian lady, LOL, I might look odd, but it's my habit :) Also Sun protection is pretty important, to me anyway. We love how you do you, where you have your "vans" I have my old worn out Wellies that were my grandfather's (I have big feet Ha Ha) We gardeners do have our idiosyncrasies.
