[@laraemitchell9064]

I’m wondering if Cheddar was fixed or not. An intact Tom cat is much more likely to spray, but I get it how that would be a problem. I’m glad a solution was found.

[@jaleinegreen7411]

I know! When I asked about cheddar in an earlier video, someone replied saying that they had done away with him and I knew that was false because Aaron and Laura love animals way too much! So glad that she addressed this and to hear that Cheddar is doing well And that someone has taken him into their care! 💛🐕

Kudos to the maker of the container winner award!! What a lovely gesture. Brought a smile to my face. Can't wait to see who wins! 😂

[@amoijoy573]

Cheddar is a wonderful cat. When cats start to spray where they live is mostly because they feel threatened by other cats who that think is coming into their territory. It’s a aggravating protest. Selfish irresponsible people create wild & unwanted cats & dogs to suffer. Laura & Aaron has been so generous in talking care of these beautiful creatures & here comes the Angel Bethany to the rescue. Thank you!

[@buckeyejen1076]

I am wondering what kind of situation exists at Bethany’s where Cheddar’s spraying is not a problem?

[@joemcdaniel6341]

@@buckeyejen1076 As more homes surround you, more neighborhood cats will invade. Cheddar felt threatened and started marking. Since Bethany lives in a rural area on her farm, there will be no visiting cats, thus Cheddar will have no reason to mark his territory.

[@annehedlund7333]

Glad this was finally addressed. Kinda elephant in the room!

[@buckeyejen1076]

@@joemcdaniel6341 Well hopefully but it doesn’t sound like Bethany cares if he spays or not. I’ve operated a local TNR program and cat rescue for over 25 years. It is my experience that once cats start marking their territory, it is unrealistic to expect them to stop. Anyway, I hope that Cheddar is living his best life at Bethany’s.

[@lupeflores8438]

Did Cheddar only start when Douglas came into the picture? I feel like Douglas should have been the one to leave. Cheddar has been there first.😢

Love the container award that was gifted to you guys for the winner. That fact that it's 2 sided depending on winner was hilarious. What a good job job he did and it's so unique. So a huge shout out to him ✔️✔️. We'll done Sir

[@chelseagarcia3385]

Two specific things I loved about this video. 1 that when you are asked a direct question about if you like a product you give your honest feedback and don’t just say it’s great to sell it and make money off the sale. 2 that you guys are considerate enough to do a whole separate channel about the items you sell so that we are not flooded with ads but have a place to get more info and questions answered. I really appreciate how genuine you are and know that whenever I hear a product recommendation it’s because you really believe in the product and want to make our gardening experience better. I wish you guys all the success you have honestly earned. ❤

[@deannlivengood6683]

I couldn't have said it better! I was thinking the exact same thing. The love they have for what they do, but also the thoughtfulness they have for all of us to create videos on the products and go one step further to keep them separate is truly something special.

[@titosrevenger]

It's not totally selfless because they wouldn't want people to block their main channels/accounts. It's very clever. Aaron has a great mind for business.

[@fiercegirldesign1]

That cutting board that Rick made is beautiful! What an incredible gift. And so clever. Love it!

Love your channel. Watch it every day. The comment about pruning everything when you get older...I'm 68 and love pruning my 50 roses and all my plants that need it. It keeps me moving and bending even with a bad back and hips. Gardening keeps us young!

[@angelaengler2387]

Absolutely! It’s great exercise ❤️

[@Chuckbobuck201]

I look ridiculous while in the garden, but for me (not in front of a camera for the world to watch) it’s function over form. I wear a headband for sweat under a hat with a shade panel to cover the back of my neck and it also has bug mesh that can be pulled over my face if necessary. I’m a real looker! 😂

[@valhallamcgaughey3720]

Sounds awesome! I may have watered plants in the backyard in straight-up pajamas because I am not a morning person. My neighbors can **easily** see into my backyard, but I think if they’re looking that’s on them. I will throw on a real shirt for the front yard tasks, so the front neighbors probably think I just wear the same shirt all the time, lol. At least the yard looks nice!

[@juliesmith37]

I found out recently that I have macular degeneration. I’m told I need to wear sun glasses whenever I’m in the sun. I had said to my Dr. I don’t like wearing them and I’m in the garden 6-8 hrs in the garden all summer. His response was “Well that’s probably why you have this”. I have been wearing a hat and usually looking down, planting and pulling weeds. Guess that wasn’t enough. I am 70 yrs. old. I wish somebody had told me this sooner. Females with blue eyes are more at risk. I have been watching your KZbin’s for several years and enjoy every minute…. And still learning. It’s my blood from generations of women that loved to grow flowers and fed their families with huge garden. Thank you and you husband for adding to this joy.

[@teresaholland4790]

[@angelaengler2387]

Thanks for sharing, I have blue eyes and almost always wear sunglasses when I am outside. I didn’t know about macular degeneration being caused by too much sun exposure. This is really important information!

[@yorkie75]

No matter how much you dislike them, please wear sunglasses and a wide-brim hat, preserve your sight for as long as possible. Losing your sight is possibly the worst sense to loose

[@BobbieJeanM]

71 with brown eyes but macular degeneration, glaucoma and small cataracts (almost everyone gets cataracts if they live long enough). I never wore sunglasses and still don’t working in the yard but can’t drive after dark now. And during any other time outside, wear sunglasses. But when working outside I always wear a hat with a brim that’s been getting wider over the years!

[@JC-kr9vt]

@@yorkie75 I understand what you are saying completely. My mother developed MD and she said it was the absolute worst. She also had Parkinson's disease but said MD was much more debilitating. My oldest sister has since been diagnosed and I just went to the eye doctor 2 weeks ago and he said middle aged Caucasian women are the most susceptible to the disease of any group. His words of advice to me were "wear a wide brim hat and never go out without your sunglasses on!".

I recently started wearing long sleeves from Farmers’ Defence. The best way to describe them is they look like the old long opera gloves without the fingers. They cover your arm from near the shoulder down over the back of your hands. They are spf 50 fabric and so far seem breathable. They protect against the sun and scratches from things like roses and branches. They come in plain or printed fabric. If you’re wearing something with a short sleeve (t-shirt, polo shirt etc) your entire arm is protected. 😊

[@lauragreen4899]

Laura and Aaron....maybe carry this in your store?

[@annehedlund7333]

My sister gifted me a pair! Wear then in prickly or sticky weed situations. Much more protection. Today filled 2 garbage cans full of galium or sticky weed. Irritating to skin! Hate that stuff, right up there with bindweed!

Thanks for the tip!

[@gardentourist9979]

Sumac grows like a weed here in Pennsylvania but when you initially had luck, I planted a tiger eye. Then, when things started to go wild with yours, I pulled mine out and put it in a pot. It’s doing great and I think I dodged a bullet.

[@kathleenvadney6217]

I have developed cataracts from years of not wearing sunglasses while spending a lot of time outdoors. My husband has too. Now I wear sunglasses while gardening but it might have saved the necessity of eye surgery if I’d been better when younger. It’s years of cumulative sun damage. Please get the word out.

[@teresaholland4790]

I know you don’t like the brown cut grass in the background of the flower pot competition, but to me, that’s home. I grew up in the middle of 15 acres of a grass field, and every year it turns that color, so it just screams home to me. Perks of living in a small farming town I guess..

I love grilling artichokes. I recommend pre-cooking them in an insta-pot. When you're ready to grill, cut them in half, brush with oil, grill the bowl side down first, then when you turn them over you can pours some butter and garlic into the bowl and down in between the leaves. I hope you like and try this. 🙂

I worked with it and now 3 years later you would never know that it was a one-sided mess not that long ago. It is a perfectly shaped thriving tree! So happy we kept it in our garden. Aaron cracked me up when he was teasing you, saying "but that tree needs me"!

[@dianapohl8185]

At the 28:45 mark, I'd like to mention that when I had a pond on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, the iris were vigorous - so much so that it was very difficult to keep them in check once they established. Some of the roots were as big around as my wrist and were rooted into the rocks that covered the pond liner. I had to use a tree saw in some cases to remove them. I'm happy to see that you've left yours in the pots and hope that alleviates any issues with their roots spreading uncontrollably! Love your videos and even though I am no longer living in a space where I can garden, and my body no longer allows me to do it, I still watch you faithfully and pass along your wisdom to family and friends who still garden. Please know your expertise is valued and your videos are wonderful!

[@lbchristensen8732]

I so want to thank you for the update on Cheddar, I was heartbroken when I didn't see him. You know the only reason why he spray is because of other cats.

PS that hand saw that Aaron was using. can I get one.

[@sallycapotosto6927]

The Garden Answer Store channel is a great idea. Through the years you have made so many "how to" videos of products/tools that you use as well as reviews/comparisons of other products (i.e. "best hose wands") that to have one generalized place to search for information on something you're curious about, would be really helpful. I understand that this would mainly be for products you offer in-store, but I hope that you would also include all videos pertaining to products/tools that you've dealt with and/or use whether you sell them or not. Just a suggestion.

I got the impression that where Laura is, they have feral cats coming around which compels Cheddar to spray (also, it seems to me, the spraying problem coincided with Douglas's arrival). Perhaps Bethany doesn't have that same issue where she is.
