Container Competition: Aaron vs. Laura! 🌸🙌 Vote for Your Favorite! 💚 // Garden Answer

[@taracorley3291]

I think next year y’all should bring in some of the rest of the family and have a family feud!❤

[@kimmy0868]

That’s a great idea!!!

[@laurieclarkson9180]

That sounds fun!

[@LynneAtHome]

Yes!

[@dianabrock6383]

Let Benjamin and Samantha pick their own. And Laura's mom. They could each do 2.

[@dianabrock6383]

I like the lemon coral sedum one Aaron did. And your first one. 3rd is the dusty Miller one.

[@anitalam5594]

I would love to see a container competition between Laura and her mom!

[@gardenerred4666]

Mom would win FOR SURE! ❤

[@darleneoldakowski4966]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@danismith1889]

@@gardenerred4666 I don't know that would be a close call for sure!!!

[@LindaBaker-l1b]

Such a FUN video!

[@elleb3]

I love that this competition is back!! So fun! 😄 Laura, my two-year-old daughter often watches your videos with me. Yesterday, we went to a garden center, and as we’re walking around I’m commenting on flowers I think are pretty, and she’s following behind singing her little quiet songs. She suddenly stops and says, “No-wah loves these!” I asked, “Noah? Who’s Noah?” My daughter: “NO-WAH loves them!” Me: “Noah? Oh LAURA!” 🤣♥️ Safe to say you have a really big fan and a really little fan in our house 💞

[@jenw5854]

Oh Aaron! Bold strategy with one plant! 😂😂. This was fun to watch!

[@Yambataller]

He just won the competition right there 😂

[@lorihanby6733]

Does anyone else just love that they started this channel so Aaron could do filming and editing and Laura went along supporting his desire. And now years later Aaron has a great memory for so many plants too and is clear on the ones he loves. I love that he is in awe of Laura’s planting skills and so openly admires what she does while learning so much himself. Sometimes I know he asks questions to help make videos interesting but it’s been great to see his real interest in plants grow over the years including of course his love of trees.

[@terri.schenk]

And the grass in a planter cracked me up! 😆

[@christinawyckoff2164]

Yes 👍👍 you both have a amazing time together planting awesome job 🌸🪷💐

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the amazing no conflict, laid back, fun and loving content you bring us everyday. With a world gone mad, it is truly a gift to sit back and watch Garden Answer each day and take a break from it all.

[@SisterShirley]

Amen.

[@jenniferschnieder6316]

So well stated. We're retired in Arizona. We enjoy our long walk every morning and then home to Garden Answer & breakfast. What a lovely way to start the day. Peace & Beauty. Thanks Laura & Aaron and your whole team.

[@Sisteryoda1440]

That’s for sure!

[@GrammyinColorado]

My favorite channel by far!! For all the reasons you mentioned, as well as all the knowledgeable gardening and Laura's way of explaining things!

[@deborahhopkins7763]

Amen!!! I so agree! 😍

[@plantaddict4951]

I am rooting for that poor lonely bubblegum. I think it will be a complete beast by the end of the season.

[@adayinthegarden3200]

Me too! #3 is my vote!

[@marierivera2029]

Me too!

[@sonnysome3201]

Yes! Me too.

[@JayMedJsn1]

✊🏻

[@kristinsoutherland4640]

YES! I'm so glad he did this because I can't wait to see what it does. I've contemplated doing this so many times but chicken out.

[@traciwaterhouse3068]

This is so hard, but I am excited to see #4!!! And also Aaron’s ONE bubblegum! To be honest, I can’t wait to see them all!

[@katexx3732]

I love that Aaron has done the 1 plant, one pot. determined to show us all we don't all need to spend a fortune to have a beautiful display, just need time to let the plants do their thing 🥰

[@sandigomez6773]

Bubblegum is an amazing plant! But one to a pot that big would be hard for many a plant lover. 😅

[@marisolbrunk5303]

Very curious how that one plant will grow. They are very vigorous! I did a Laura as I was thinking “plant a couple more!” 🌸😆

[@lauriemashburn6073]

I agree at $7+ each, I stretch my plant budget too

[@DeniseJimenez-d4e]

I’m rooting for the solo Bubblegum!❤️❤️

[@FernsAndForest]

I will never grow the bubblegum again. The colors faded and it looked terrible. Hopefully, Aaron will have good luck with his.

[@EllenGill-z6t]

I am crazy about how knowledgeable and involved Aaron has become with the plants, the gardens and just in having opinions. Way to go Aaron.

[@newt52864]

yes, he is really in tune with the plants lately :)

[@travsgardenstravshauntedya1998]

i love that they do things like this together ❤

[@LindaKrippel]

This is so fun! Love to see you and Aaron together.Can just feel the strength of your relationship. Warms my heart to see how loving to each other your whole family is. Thank You for doing this again!!

[@jenniferseelen1899]

The two of you are so complementary and respectful of each other it is so refreshing. Thanks for the fun!

[@Saintstogether]

I agree, so refreshing.

[@celestehernandez840]

Agree!

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

I'm a widow, and seeing the two of you together working ALWAYS warms my heart.❤ Make wonderful new memories each and every day!!❤❤

[@SouthernLatitudesFL]

I also love see friendly and caring their competitive banter is.

[@patsyphillips1475]

This is so cool. Friendly competition. All the pots are lovely, but I am putting my vote on #6. The pinks are looking good. Love to see you two together, making work, play.

[@terri.schenk]

Such a beautiful comment!

[@feliciacardone8900]

So much fun....so much beauty, 🤔

[@zephirinedrouhin3735]

I’m a widow too and it always warms my heart too to watch them work together. It is beautiful and makes me happy and happy for them too.

[@ashleycampbell6906]

2 is my favorite, but I’m cheering for the underdog bubblegum!!

[@gretchens_haus]

Laura, who even are you with all of those warm colors in container #2? 😂. Seriously, I love that you have brought back the container competition. They are all going to be 🏆 winners.

[@karenhummeltroyer8089]

My favorites now are #1#4#6#8#9...time will tell, but what fun to see each pot come into it's own..

[@debbiejohnson_1019]

I really like #2. Love your interaction! Laura always supportive, 1 spertunia will be beautiful! I have 10 in mine😊.

[@tianatolken]

2, 6

No absolutely NO

[@terri.schenk]

I’m smiling at how Aaron has developed in expertise throughout the years. Does anyone else remember the first planter competition? 😍

[@joydaniel597]

Thank you for not speeding it up while planting. It’s more relaxing and enjoyable to watch.

[@LifebytheBowRiver]

That Bublegum pot is such an inspiration for gardeners on a budget. Can't wait to see...

[@GardenRetriever]

What an episode. Busting go pros, Laura using "hot" colors 😮, Aaron going classic. Lots of fun banter!🎉

[@DuckzMaGee]

"I've glanced inside your gator" is hilarious as a stand-alone phrase. 😂

[@DaleDool-pr7ht]

No wonder you two were kind of smirking yesterday. This is going to be fun. LOL

[@shellyscott8136]

Mom and I vote #4. I flew to Montana to help my 83 yr old Mom plant her 8 large containers. We had so much fun stopping, rewinding, and discussing each of your choices. Thank you for doing the competition again this year!

[@terri.schenk]

Sweet 💗

[@rosemarydairy828]

I am rooting for the underdog! It is nice to see a one plant pot. These plants in my area are $5 each so a lot of people can't afford to put 4- 6 or more plants in a pot. We all know that Laura's pots are going to be awesome because that is her wheelhouse but the grass king may surprise us!!! I'm sure they will all be amazing.

[@kelly2669]

Its just wonderful that Aaron is so involved with what you love to do. I understand that this is his living as well but he genuinely seems to want to be involved with helping. I love it!

[@TheSwann43]

I can't wait to see Benjamin plant up his first large planter. 🎉

[@hectorhernandez2694]

Honestly this is my favorite series to watch, I love seeing you two collaborating with yall's own creative vision and experimenting with new ideas.

[@maryslack205]

Your container videos are where I get my best ideas year after year for my containers! Friends and neighbors walking by always say I have the ‘best’ containers and I always give Garden Answer the credit for the combos, fertilizing tips and drip system. Thank You!

[@GardenerPhyl]

Love this! Laura: In this container I’m planting 9 annuals, plus a centrepiece. Aaron: in this container I’m planting 1 annual! Following along and watching how each container developed was so fun the last time you both had a competition. I did notice that Aaron seems much more confident this time around. At this point I’m ‘rooting’ for both #4 & 5 containers. Purple and yellow vs purple and silver - may the best container win! (Spoiler: they’re all winners). Benjamin’s description is apt - that go pro is chomped!!

[@AngieBrittHEC]

I'm going with number 4, but 7 is a going to awesome as well! I can't wait to see them all in just a few weeks.

[@1983utubeuser]

My humble opinion: 4 for your best. 9 for Aaron’s. 8 is also a contender. Excited to see them all. I think we will be blown away at the changes throughout the summer.

[@susanblau5573]

So far I think Aaron is the winner! He is so charming, I don’t care how any of his turn out. You two are so….. cute together. It’s just hilarious. Do more things together. You’re winners!

[@celestehernandez840]

I agree!!!! ❤

[@cherylhee9762]

Now that's funny!

[@tonyabrown2401]

Excited to see Aaron's just one plant container. They all will look so beautiful as always❤

[@laraemitchell9064]

I probably would have put some sweet potato vine in there for a bit of contrast and spiller. (And because I LOVE them). But it will be a good test of the bubblegum to see what just one plant will do.

[@margierousu468]

That container should be Awesome! I have planted only one in a large container and I had to cut back my bubblegum twice during the summer ....it grew to the ground😮

[@shannonz9211]

​@laraemitchell9064 Agree. I have tried to purchase bubblegum 2 different years and I just don't like the color. I end up choosing something else. I bet the lime green would "cool it down", like Laura says.

[@terri.schenk]

The one bubblegum will take over the planter and be gorgeous!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@beasleyben9191]

That Bubblegum will fill that pot and then some!! Very vigorous growing plant. I use one per pot as well and they always please. Try it sometime.

[@cm9yso]

I love when you guys do projects like this. I would have thought that Aaron would have planted a tree in one of those pots! Thank you for being so inspiring!

[@jacque4084]

Aaron, we are ALL impressed by Laura’s smooth planting rhythm! Hahaha, like she said, she’s planted a few things 😂

[@tanisha8902]

It is a to,as up between 2& 4. I am more leaning towards 2.

[@Debbie-q8g]

2 to start.

[@nedra4wv304]

Love this!! Next year, let Benjamin and Samantha do one as well. What fun that would be for them!

[@lisag6796]

Children sizes pots!!!

[@princessryann2581]

Love to Benjamin do one! Samatha pick out her flowers! Maybe if do the hayracks on fence! Just a idea!!! 💙💝💙💖

[@nedra4wv304]

Would be adorable!!

[@HeatherLeininger]

I adore how you two have the loving competition. It challenges the other in so many ways and makes each of you stronger. Plus, gently leaning what works and doesn’t work is part of the fun in gardening! Like you’re not rooting for either to fail, but you still want to win! 😂 This container competition is by far one of my favorite things you have done. I also love the idea of having the kids do a container or two and then a plant combination competition at the garden center with Laura and her mom. Say whose plant combos sell out the quickest maybe!

[@KlausM4]

Laura explaining why she will do something what you should not do is just priceless 😂😂😂😂😂 you two bring always such a good amount of sass 😅

[@amandavenditte5682]

I’m so excited you brought this competition back! Even though you are competing, you still make it fun and chill. And you are so supportive of each other.

[@Sunny14136]

Lovely containers, both of you! I also love how supportive you are of each other and how gracious you are with each other when accidents happen--like the go-pro incident! :-).

[@EnglishMadeleine]

Number 6 for me. Gaura surrounded by pink flowers… heaven 😍

[@terrihart2133]

Yes it is gorgeous. Thinking this one might be in my finals.

[@melissakoithan8119]

Laura, you are such a mom figure- helping, encouraging and reassuring the competition! I loved the "is this your layout? Because I want to help you." Mom code for 'move it along!'

[@carolynerickson6365]

😅

[@jenniferlauriat821]

Laura!! Yes, please, please, please put a boxwood bow around the cut flower garden! It's just a perfect idea. And while you're at it, why not a walled garden? I just love your channel. Thanks so much for such fun content!

[@stevenjwiles]

I'm with you, Aaron. Laura does move with a fluidity when she plants. It's hypnotic.

[@PK-bh1ww]

True. She's had lots and lots and lots of practice.

[@kierstenlupi416]

5, 6 or 7.. I cant choose! I love that Aarons knowledge and interest has grown and you both are so cute together.

[@PatsyVaughn]

I love the fact that each pot is different. It will make it so beautiful to move from pot to pot throughout the entire season.

[@colleenwalker5313]

I've watched your channels for a number of years. My fav is seeing you both working together on camera more, you're such a lovely couple. Thank you for sharing. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@montyshinn8704]

Laura picking the hot colours and Aaron picking pastels. Thats a real switch. They will be beautiful ❤….

[@dianeberthon4583]

You are both winners in my book. It's just great to see a couple enjoy what they love.

[@catbgreat9268]

You seemed especially positive and supportive of each other. I like that.

[@cherylh1159]

I love a competition that has NO hating! Such a blessing the way these two work together for the common goal, beauty for all of us to enjoy! Such a breath of fresh air. I'm excited to see how Number 4 comes along but love them all.

[@kathyhansford4552]

Laura, I was so surprised with your 1st pot. You usually don’t pick those color combinations. It’s my favorite so far! I love those colors together! I know by the end of the season, I will probably have a new favorite. I always love when you and Aaron do this contest!!

[@KathleenAhart]

Love this! I think Aaron is upping his game this year. Can't wait to see how everything goes.

[@theresahubbard5165]

I think the silver and purple is going to be so pretty! Wouldn’t it be pretty to have every other one silver and purple and a bubble gum pink all down the drive!❤🥰💖

[@InfoSecChic]

Number 8 stole my heart; it's my favorite. It will be interesting to see what the lone bubblegum does in that large container. The whole competition concept is fun and beautiful!

[@Zoo-animals2023]

The most friendly and supportive competitors! Love looking forward to seeing #4 and #9

[@barkavebullies]

LOOOVE THE CONTAINER COMPETITION!! So glad you're doing it again! So fun!

[@wayneonpark]

Greetings from Palm Springs, California! I planted one each of Bubblegum and Silverberry in two large cement pots similar to yours in late January, and they are currently spectacular! I did the same thing with Jazzberry. Absolutely beautiful! Massive plants! My neighbors are so complimentary. The key to gardening, as Laura said, is also about using good liquid plant food regularly, in addition to using pesticides as well. I've had many issues with budworms and whiteflies in my geraniums and coleus here in the desert. Still, regular use of pesticides once a week and liquid plant food a couple of times per week keeps my flowers looking beautiful! I certainly like Laura's plants, but I'm rooting for Aaron! I need to see more of Aaron! : ) He keeps me laughing! 99 degrees here in Rancho Mirage today...

[@bclarkquilts]

Y'all are just too much fun! Love, love, LOVE your competition! The banter between the two of you is just a joy to watch. GREAT video!!! Can't wait to see that bubblegum take over the pot! And Aaron's comments on Laura's planting...."You do that so fluidly." You both have made my day.

[@angelasevier6520]

I love how you two are in competition, But still help Aaron over the finish line ❤

[@terrihart2133]

This was my thoughts as they were planting. Both want them spectacular over all.

[@wendycash54]

I'm liking #7 because it looks so sweet and soft. Aaron has gotten so involved and knowledgeable with all the plants. I love the support you give one another, even though its a competition of sorts, you are cheering each other on.

[@karenkrebs4535]

I love when you two do a project together… I watch you everyday and have learned so much from you… but it never fails that Aaron adds to it… you can take the boy out of the flowers but you can’t take him out of the grass… one of his pot should have been grass…. So funny!

[@Sisteryoda1440]

😂🤣 Had a good laugh over that one!

[@tonyanelson2202]

Love your container competitions! There is no way I can pick a favorite…that’s like asking me to pick a favorite child! 😂 So excited to see these containers grow.

[@Sisteryoda1440]

Was thinking the same thing!

[@janetklein9697]

I feel like you just asked me who my favorite child is! Impossible for me to pick. But will love watching them this summer.

[@sydneylough6405]

Aaron's not playing, compost. In it to win it. 🌺🏵💮 Laura, on the other hand, knows plants and her ability to arrange combos is amazing. 🌼🌻🌺

[@terryrobinson3692]

I’m cheering on Aaron’s #3. So fun watching a him talk about flowers and plant them!

[@jodiruss9398]

I love that you've brought back this competition. I think, because this is what you do for a living, it makes perfect sense for you to do all of these pots differently. Right now, 9 and 10 strike me the most, but I'm a purple flower girl, so I'm betting 1, 4 or 7 will end up being my fav.

[@jenmazz1257]

Love love love 💕 the container competition 🎉😂 🌸✊🏻 next year let Benjamin & Samantha get one pot each to do!Cant wait to see 1, 5, 7, 9, 10 😊

[@mariap6382]

I like punchy!! I love watching Aaron planting with you! He adds a funny touch!

[@kathrynkramer8345]

At this time, #2 steals the show for me! I also am very attracted to #6 and #9. Having said all that, I applaud Aaron for putting just one bubblegum in the pot - can’t wait to see how that turns out. I also am impressed by how encouraging you are/were to one another!

[@Sisteryoda1440]

“We’ll all be judged.” 😂🤣😂🤣 You both take “healthy competition” to a whole new level - complimenting each other’s choices and assisting with planting (and I agree that Laura has some wicked skills with planting technique). The flowers are the winners in this competition. I’m voting for #TeamGA ‼️

[@debbie2917]

Love the conversations between you two. Together you’re a winning team. ❤️

[@vanessavolinsky5047]

Can't wait to see the bubblegum transformation! This was so fun to watch. I love it when Aaron and Laura are interacting and working on something together! My post planting vote goes to #4.

Loved seeing you too working together, I loved them all.

[@mellfraze8112]

I'm excited to see how the containers turn out! The banter between Aaron & Laura was just as much fun as the planting.

[@cynthialagraff4144]

Aaron has learned a lot since you guys first began your channel. Love his creativity.

[@annamccurry-q2l]

It's so cute to see Aaron planting😊

[@karen-ep8ou]

I love when you two do container competitions. Your two thought processes are so amazing. Laura you always pack an instant punch while Aaron is more conservative. Can't wait to see how they grow.

[@Rotten_Ralph]

My favorite might have to be the single supertunia vista bubblegum. Because it looks so petite and it will become the houseplant that ate New Jersey before much longer. Potential for growth ✨️

[@lewaldfogle]

Who could choose? All the planters will be so beautiful! I love it that you brag on each others ideas as you plant. It's refreshing to see love & respect in a family. So I went to 'Proven Winners' to check out some of the plants you all were using & found a pic of Laura. Of course I can't share it here but I was tickled I recognized someone in their ads. Thanks for all the video's.

[@cookiescott2165]

You two are amazing playing in your garden. I like the single plant and I like the shade plant. But in a few months they will all be beautiful. You have an envious life but by sharing all the beautiful videos I feel like I'm there with you. Thank you for all your inspiration.❤❤❤❤

[@AmandaStone-wk3uv]

I can't wait to see how all of the containers develop, but I'm going to vote for the Bubblegum on this round. Aaron's commitment to a single plant in the pot is something I do I well.

[@virginiaramirez4214]

How excited! Aaron did some good ones. I need to go back and look at them again. There’re all going to look amazing. 👍🏽

[@E.R.Hewitt]

Lol love how confident Aaron is now with a container plant combo. He really sold them all to me.

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

I love Aaron’s smile when he explains his choice of using compost. And his plant picks. What a great video!

[@laurieaves]

All these are going to be beautiful. #4 is my favourite right now. I love the contrast of dusty miller in pots. I can’t wait to see the blue and purple fill in around it. I’m also really excited to see the bubblegum grow.

[@elizabethharrell8707]

Aaron is the best partner, always up for a challenge..love these two. Pots 1,2,5,6 love them all really, can't wait to see how they do!

[@rtshaw3621]

EVERY single one is going to be absolutely beautiful! The combination and alternate color combo will be so interesting! Great fun! Love having Aaron and Laura competitions. So when does Aaron Ben against Mama and Samantha happen?

[@whendixie3]

I love #7. I think all of them will be beautiful. Although when Laura was putting together all the warm tones I was shocked 😂

[@heatherderganc5984]

The competition was always my favorite years ago, so much fun! I love that you are trying different plants in different ways. I can’t wait to see the follow ups!!! They are all winners! 😆
