Lots of Projects: Pruning in the Snow, Tree Dismantling, Lisianthus Planting & Cooking Dinner! 🥰🙌🥘

[@beth5765]

I know you sometimes think twice about showing food prep on Garden Answer ~ but in my mind it fits perfectly. Showing how you make simple, wholesome, and delicious meals using the bounty from your harvest is the icing on the cake. Love seeing the little one learning skills right along side you. Keep doing what you are doing. So inspiring in so many ways. 🌱💝🫶🏼

[@michellebostic8576]

YES the Farm to Table parts are so inspiring. ❤ I always love to see children involved and inspiring them for the future ❤ God Bless!!

[@joydaniel597]

Totally agree

[@loriboyce942]

I just like that the cooking isn’t complicated. 😂

[@linneamariephotography]

AGREED😍

[@TMB62]

❤yep I agree as well

[@sharons7949]

When Samantha was singing my dog got so excited. He thought a kid was here to visit. I had to show him that no one was on the porch. 😂

Your doggo is so darling!

Oh how sweet. I started cry because I thought that was so sweet 😂😂😂❤

[@AmericanaGardens]

Awe that is adorable ❤

[@dianahanvey203]

Just love this channel, not only do we see you get your hands dirty doing the hard work but all of the fun light stuff like going antiquing with mom and cooking a delicious dinner. You show us just livin life with a family, kids playing in the background and helping cooking. This is by far my favorite garden channel 😍 ❤️

[@ecampbell5837]

They do a fantastic job. They all seem so hardworking and kind. Lovely family and extended family.

[@Gin0827]

Totally agree. This is my favorite You Tube Channel. Everything is right in the world when I escape to Laura’s world!! ❤😊😘❤️🕊🌸🪴

To all the new viewers, Laura has a Garden Highlight channel on KZbin that she does a video on Sunday and goes over each video from the past week and answers questions.

I love the Sunday recaps!

I wonder if people still send her gifts, used to be one of my favorite videos along with bulbs planting

[@Thinking.Of.Some.Handle]

​@@verawallace9055Oh I'm sure people still do yes..she may have mentioned in a past video she was sorta steering away from opening mail videos to more focus on gardening aspect...

[@amiemuir9072]

Everything looks so beautiful covered in snow ❄️ Samantha cooking with you was the sweetest thing ever ❤️

[@dawndawn6946]

Mmmmmm! I love listening to all the sounds of your family in the house while you're cooking.❤ So sweet!

[@chulette6029]

“Calls for one clove of garlic so we’re going to use 4” ❤ My husband and I are the exact same way! We always use more garlic 😂 Samantha Grace cutting marshmallows is the cutest thing! I love when you cook from your garden and show us what you’ve made. Thank you once again for a great day 😊

[@marisolbrunk5303]

Totally so agree on the garlic part! Can’t have enough yummy garlic! 😊 Such a cute family to watch for sure!

[@barbararobinson-cs3ym]

Love the cleaning up, planting, and especially the family being together at the end of the video.

[@heathernesbitt1309]

Awe that was my favorite tree this year. Just loved those natural colors with a bit o’ bling. I hope to see it again next year.

[@mollypitcher9380]

I agree. I especially loved the large circular orange slices. 🌸

[@artistapprentice7021]

I was thinking that I will have to do a tree like that at my house next Christmas! 💚 So lovely!

[@thehappybaker7077]

Cutting up marshmallows? While you get the real work done? BRILLIANT! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I can't get over what a good idea that is. She gets to be involved safely, you get dinner going quickly at the end of a long day, and you both get to spend time together. Bravo, mama! Oh, how I wish I could go back in time and not rush, be patient, and enjoy that time more. ❤️

[@lyonhawaii]

May God bless you all this year with great health!

[@lindaga820]

That pretty red amaryllis showed up so pretty in the Hartley. What a winter wonderland with the snow covered trees and shrubs !! Love watching you cook, looks sooo good ! So great hearing all the chatter of your sweet kids.

[@jeansunderland6115]

What a fulfilling day! Samantha is so precious! Both she and Benjamin are sweet, loving and beautiful children ❤

[@doreer.8960]

Thanks for having us to dinner!!! Fun to see the family having a "together" meal!

[@alesavokin3635]

The fact that kids are just playing.. and not sitting on their electronic devices is melting my heart ♥️ love your family

[@wandabrown508]

So fun to spend the day with Laura! Feel better.

[@amyrichcreek]

We need a weekly cooking segment with you and Samantha. Lol. You had mentioned potentially doing home reno segments before but you wondered if anyone would watch since it isn't technically on theme. I don't think you realize how invested we all are in any aspect of your life. Lol. You guys make it all interesting and exciting. Safe to say we're all sticking around for literally anything you want to show us. Lol.

[@KenIvywood]

That little kitchen helper melts my heart! The chicken and potatoes look delicious. Thanks for sharing.

[@katiegray14]

Sorry you got sick, but glad to hear you are feeling better! It’s such a great feeling to get things cleaned up, seeds started, and a yummy meal on the table for the family - all in one day 🥰

[@donnastrader9812]

I can’t tell you how much I love your channel! I watch every single day and follow what you are doing to the best of my ability. You give great instructions and are a pleasure to watch! Thank you for being here!!!!!

[@lorikolecki3321]

Life hasn’t been very fair lately especially today so being able to step into Garden Answer world eased my weary soul! Thank you! And tell Samantha I love marshmallows too!💕

[@elmarieodendaal2495]

LOVE Douglas!!! Mr Personality!!😊😊

[@elainegregory5308]

This made me chuckle - chopped/cubed up the potatoes with a teeny, tiny knife. Then chopped the small rosemary leaves with a big chef’s knife. What the heck? 😜

[@jacquipalasek2571]

Douglas demonstrating his Pilates this morning. Good job Douglas!❤

[@janeclancey8044]

Even though you weren’t feeling very well today, you made this all encompassing video as a day in your life of gardening and family that shows the dedication you have to both and to your followers! ❤️

[@mistysstudio87]

You know, I remember your recent shopping trip when you found a picture and a frame that you loved together… What do you think about finding your favorite focal point on your property and taking a photo of it when it is snow-covered like this!? You can always find a frame that you love! And it’s very easy to upload photos to a Walmart or CVS… Think about it! This is absolutely stunning! I think this would be something that is more priceless to you than anything else hanging on the wall that you purchased at a store.

[@chafrajayfra32]

I love watching you cook with your own harvest. ❤. Samantha is so cute. She resembles your mom. 😊

[@sonnysome3201]

The shelves Paul made look sooo good! Everything's so tidy. That's gotta feel good🤩

[@wandaleimkuehler896]

Oh, how I remember the days of frozen pipes! I thank God that we're in a warm home and no longer have to deal with this anymore. God bless you for the care you give to your livestock.

[@bobr9895]

When someone else does the cooking it always looks easy. It's too soon to start seeds here so I enjoy watching you.

[@fridalindstrom1789]

Love this kind of videos Where you take us along in all that you do in the day and not just the garden. Gives me a minute of peace watching you and hearing your voice! I’m so thankful for what you and Aaron do!

I could watch Miss Samantha Grace cut up lemons for hours 😂 She is absolutely adorable! It’s hard to believe how fast she’s growing!

Dinner looks delicious! Fresh herbs makes everything better. Loved how Samantha helped with marshmallows😊

[@dianahande2052]

I just love watching the kids grow up. have been watching since they were baby's. My favorite cat is Russell he has chosen you as his pet, and always makes sure you do things right and gives his approval . 😺😻

[@janerobinson6469]

Just wanted to say that I ordered some products from your shop and was very impressed with the delivery turn over even allowing for the Christmas period AND the fact that I'm in Melbourne Australia. I know that I could have got Felco products here, but wanted to support you. Also the sweat shirt is such good quality, and a great fit. I'll be ordering more now I know how good you guys are. My daughter likes the idea that I've become a grandma Garden Answer groupie!. Thank for all the inspiration, been following you since your town house days and my garden reflects all your wisdom.

[@donnat1911]

The kids are growing up so fast. Bless this family, I love them so much 😊

[@jeanineadele]

It would be nice if you could do a cooking video every week. It was so enjoyable to see you inside where it is cozy and comfortable with your sweet family. It is kind of hard to see you out in the harsh elements all the time. This was wonderful.

[@LindaSilber]

I never expected to see roses being trimmed in the snow. 😮 Got a good chuckle this morning. Always spreading joy!

[@2231michelle]

I love seeing you and the kids cook in the kitchen! Thank you for sharing every day home-life stuff!

[@marytomlin2566]

I love watching your videos! With everything you do in one video, I wish I was young again (70 this month). Douglas follows you everywhere! I haven't seen Cheddar in a while, but on the videos it's hard to see the difference in Russell and Cheddar. I love to see Samantha in the kitchen with you and Benjamin playing.

Everyone, everywhere is sick right now! I had Covid in November and it lasted 3 weeks and it was awful! I am thankful I haven’t been sick since then and I pray for healing for all the sick people out there this winter! Happy gardening from Southern Illinois this morning. Snow expected here! ☃️❄️

For the 1st time, I think, I didn't get a notification for one of your videos. Just letting you know, in case others had this issue. Thanks for all y'all do!

[@trayvixk4642]

I make rosemary potatoes all the time, so yummy. Also recommend adding feta in the roast if you have some. It cooks faster but gives it a nice texture.

[@heatherstewart120]

Sweet Benjamin had me cackling when he had his sword and shield 🤣. Laura says he always has a battle going on and now we got to see it.

[@2slayme]

Hi you’re a pro in the Garden :) and I’m kinda a pro with croup and or breathing issues. If you or your family have the breathing issues again bundle them up (don’t over do bundling them up and go outside. If it’s summer head in the freezer it is. The cold air makes the bronchi go down thus breathing is much better. I don’t know how many hours I’ve sat in a chair outside with a child on my lap. 2 of my kids were really bad when they were babies all the way to this present day. My son would take his self outside or tell me we have to go outside cuz he can’t breathe. I’ve passed it on to others and it’s helped their family member too.

[@starsrhi2335]

GOOD AFTERNOON - thank you for a delightful video, kids, cats, snow, a husband, a fire place burning, homemade dinner, a light snow fall, and a beautiful Mother that does a host of many things. Love your work, and happy that you share with us. So interesting.

[@cathybackus5159]

It's so beautiful where you live with the snow. You're doing a great job teaching Samantha how to use a knife and showing her to cook.

[@jodieziegler1061]

Watching this while it's 46°C under our back verandah 🥵 think I'd rather be there with all that beautiful snow 😊

[@cammie90]

You should grow dill and put in freezer in autumn. It keeps Fresh really well in zip lock bags

[@tiffanylloyd3613]

Oh my goodness! Look from inside the Hartley outside at the snowy scene. Absolutely stunning!

[@pathavingfun]

That fireplace complete with table and chair in front of it next to the kitchen area looks so cozy. The white blanket of snow outside makes it even more cozy! God bless your family.

[@lewih7135]

I love how Laura cooked and ate her dinner in her jacket! I do that often and don't even realize it. Life of a busy mom..or dad! Peace and blessings!

Thank you for the full video with all the things!! So much I learned!! Keep them coming Laura, so amazing!!❄️🩵♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@jeanbrewer576]

Good morning Laura and family and 🐈🐈‍⬛ Ahh sweet a blanket of snow your right winter wonder land. Sowed seeds, tree is packed away, roses tried, gathering your supper and preparing and cooking and your cute little Chef Samantha Grace helping out what a great day. Glad that everyone is on the mend. Thank you for this wonderful video. Have a great rest of the day 🙂👋🌱🍗. The temperature for the Oklahoma Panhandle USDA ZONE 6b is supposed to be in the lower 50 for today, get some of this snow melted. 👋

[@RaisingHalfaDozen]

🚫🫒I have cooked with Olive Oil for YEARS, until now. My daughter is going to culinary school and has learned that olive oil is to be used ONLY at low temperatures. High temps start to degrade olive oil and potentially creates health harming compounds. So now I have started using Avocado Oil for high temp cooking it has a smoke point of 500 degrees Fahrenheit and has lots of vitamins! Thanks for teaching me so much about gardening!!!💚💚💚

I can’t wait to see the Lisianthus come up this spring! That champagne color is my favorite. ❤ This was the first year I used the vermiculite topper on my seeds and I have had excellent results so far. Absolutely zero dampening off on my seedlings, something I have always struggled with. I too was dealing with a cold this week but had to get out and soak up some sunshine - One can only stay in bed for so long. I trimmed up and transplanted some roses and started a donation pile of old tools and wood. Happy new year GA family! 🎉

Just a potato seasoning tip we use is to throw all the potato’s in a ziplock bag and “shake and bake” it to get adequate even coverage of the potatos before dumping them on the cookie sheet. 425 for 25 minutes is perfect for roasting them I’ve found. By the way, using marshmallows with a plastic knife was a perfect idea for the kids!!!

[@michellezimmerman7827]

Hey Laura, do you still plan to do a vlog about cleaning Felcos? Could you please tell us what we need ahead of time so I can order it from your store? I want to be able to work right along with you when you do the vlog. Thanks! And the chicken looked delicious!
