Good morning Garden Answer viewers. Thank you Laura for another wonderful video.

[@jmckphotography]

Good morning to you! ☀️

[@sherrywhitaker3369]

Good Morning ☀️ from Knoxville! Enjoying my coffee ☕️ and Laura!

[@Journal2Awakening]

Good Morning!

[@dixianayard8502]

Oh Benjamin is so adorable 💗 and you are a great mom. Sometimes we forget that our babies won't always want us to play with them. You are awesome to stop everything and play chase 😁🌞❣️

[@staceyalarcon4027]

And she got to see the irises blooming which she wouldn’t have seen if Benjamin had not “distracted” her.

[@lorabetht9206]

It brings back memories of my kids at that age ❤️🥰 they are now teenagers and definitely don’t want me around as much!

[@lauramason9250]

Benjamin gets his beautiful smile from your mom! I totally saw her when he smiled so big when you told him "no peeking". 💜💜 On a side note, I recently posted a message about my client asking me to make an arrangement from grocery store flowers. I am a personal gardener in Dallas. I had to channel you to get the job done. Well, I now have a standing appointment every 2 weeks with this client, to make him an arrangement! He said he will take the credit for my newest career! Thank you again for inspiring me to do something out of my comfort zone. 💜💜💜

[@Journal2Awakening]

Awww! Thats just so awesome!

[@cheriberry9633]

I agree!

Wonderful!!

[@lizsurbanroost3624]

That kid is so darn cute. Just love Benjamin :) I have to say, I'm super jealous of your Delphiniums, they're so big and full while my little seedlings are tiny, I have 10 seedlings started in my room on my west facing windowsill, I do hope they grow up and do well. I have more started with the winter sowing method outside but I have not seen any action yet, hopefully they grow! I love Delphiniums, they are one of my favorites and this year I plan on preventatively staking them so I can actually enjoy them outside this year, every time they are in full bloom we get a storm with heavy rain and I always have to either cut them, stake them or watch them flatten. Always hated staking them and I'd often not have time or forget before a storm, I am going to stake them before they even go into bloom this year, then the blooms will cover the stakes hopefully!

Well I have planted my first flower garden ever in my whole life. I’m 61. It’s never too late. Thank you Laura for your inspiration!

[@E.R.Hewitt]

Not sure what was most entertaining in this video... hide and seek cuteness, the moment when the hedge trimmer comes out after all the fussing with snips, or the revelation that Laura loves her hens so much she cleans their bums. 😄👌💚

[@eileenchang2173]

When Benjamin was hiding and Laura said ‘no peeking’ , his smile was just like Laura’s Mom!

[@sandramulchahey8268]

I love the way you stop what you are doing to play with Benjamin. Funny side note it looked like you were checking to make sure Russell was still among the living, I have done that so many times with my animals, and it's always "oh good yep just sleeping " 😂

[@jenniferandrews6487]

“Mama’s out of shape” Story of my life 😂😂

[@mariafolch8067]

Good morning Laura!! Great upbeat video. Loved seeing Benjamin interacting in the video. For those that thinks Benjamin needs a swing set... I believe you have clearly demonstrated that he does not. It is more gratifying to have you inter act with him than him playing alone on a swing. You are doing a great job instilling some good work habits and responsibility. Love to see his imagination at work, such as putting the tools on his trike, feeding the chickens, etc. ▪︎The coco liner looks more appropriate for use on that window box rather than a wooden or higher standard one. In fact, the one you took out seemed to still be ok for another year. ▪︎Can't wait to see Samantha Grace walking around the garden.

[@sarahlegg7545]

I just love that no matter how busy you and Aaron are you stop and play with Benjamin. He will never forget that, kids need that!

[@nspector]

Only five minutes into the video. Just had to say, Laura, I love how genuinely supportive and encouraging you are with Benjamin. I've been wanting to mention that for a long time now. Kids need that, and so many never get it.

Good Morning from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🌞 I love when you say that you and Benjamin are working in the Garden. He is a great helper by making your job much more fun 🤗 I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@BeccaSue890]

I already knew one of the hens was named Poop Butt Patty but I still almost spit out my food when you said her name out loud. You’re my people. 🤣

You are a great mom! That little boy, adores you! Cherish these moments, kids grow up so fast.

Benjamin has your mom's smile Laura. Aww

[@valkh83]

That’s funny, because Laura has her moms smile too. 😊 it trickles down, I guess,

I totally agree! I have always thought that about Benjamin. He also has the same energy of his Mom and Nana.

"Benjamin look". Loving the multi-tasking...play with child, 2 second later...spot the plant 🤣🤣. He's such a cutie and you're such a great mum 😍

Omg, Russell gave me a start "sleeping" in the grass!! Big relief when I saw his tail twitch!

[@amyrichcreek]

This video is so pleasing between revealing the green beneath the dead branches and the beauty of the slowmo editing while trimming, down to the music. Well done.

[@sallymacaluso7502]

That little boy is the most adorable thing ever.

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

I love the way you are with Benjamin, a mother who take the opportunity to drop a plan/project and play with their child is an A++ parent.

[@allthenuts9179]

I was smiling so much my face hurt watching you play with Benjamin. Then you threw in the "Poop but Patty" remark and I lost it. Truly the joy of my day watching your videos. 😊

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

It’s Russell’s world and we are all just living in it.

[@YalisCommunity]

Totally! ☺️

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I'm so glad you're starting to show more of your "life" like of Benjamin, Samantha Grace, etc. Benjamin is so sweet! :)

[@LB-vl3qn]

The memories you're making with Benjamin are priceless. He's got the sweetest personality and his smile comes straight from your mom. I was itching for those lollipops to get a good haircut. Once you see it, it's hard to wait. The beets and chard in with the flowers will be beautiful! And, it's so lovely to see you wear something besides black. Black is so aging, I don't understand why women think it's flattering. It actually flatters very few. Besides, the blue in your top brings out the blue in your eyes. You look especially lovely today. ~ Lisa PS - I'm glad I'm not the only one who wondered whether Russell was still breathing. Of course, I would have had to check.

[@AngieU27]

[@rhondaduncan7602]

Oh my goodness! Benjamin is getting soooo BIG! !!! And thanks for the memories that flooded back of me and my sister playing with my dad's socket set! And another memory that took me months to remember was the jinx and counting. We would say "Jinx 1 2 3 4 5.!" Whoever lost could not speak until someone said their name. So I'm with you, Laura. We counted.

[@kathrynmessina2399]

Okay guys! You can't even plan such a wonderful video. I tune in to see the flowers and new ideas all the time but when you asked Benjamin if he was racing you and then stopped in your tracks to race him, priceless! I'm in my living room enjoying my morning coffee and found myself thoroughly enjoying the break for play time. And then, you again stop in your tracks just like I do when you notice something new blooming in the garden. I love the naturalness and unplanned entertainment. Thank you for all the inspiring videos you guys continue to make. Made my day for sure!!!!!

Hi Laura! This was fun to watch, especially you playing with Benjamin. The girls look healthy and happy! The topiaries look great and so do the planters. The colors are so pretty! I like watching you plant up containers, even if you use the same colors/flowers because they still look different. Those delphiniums have really done good. Thank you so much for sharing!

Benjamin and the socket set, reminds me of the time my daughter and the little neighbor boy buried my husband’s socket set out in the sand all over the back yard. We had VERY sandy soil, we’ve since moved out and changed states and soil types, now it’s clay, don’t know which one is worse!💚🙃

You’ve also taught me to see the simple beauty in all the many plants and seasons here in West Michigan. One question- it’s so lovely to see your sweet family grow and flourish, but don’t you and Aaron worry about your family’s safety with how public it all is? Normally I’m the last person to say this but there’s a lot of crazy out there...I hope you have a state of the art security system and are well looked after ❤️

Today while putzing around in the garden I told myself and my husband that I was going to "get after something" more than a few times.
