This video should've been titled: "The Russell Show" Presented by Garden Answer. I had to go back and watch a second time, because I realized I was so enchanted watching him to pay attention to all Laura was saying. 😹 That kitty needs some merch. It would sell out in minutes lol

[@fiftyfivelittlefarmcottage4073]

You’re growing a Russell! 👏 🐾🐾 Mom: “Is the basket mine to?!” 😁 She’s the best.

The violas and lavender in the pot really made me smile. Spring has sprung!

[@deezahm9143]

☕️Good morning all GA friends and Laura, who is my joyful inspiration to start each day. I don’t have a home or garden any more, but I learned to garden in containers watching Laura create beautiful displays no matter what the space entails. Enjoy a wonderful day everyone, and thank you so much for your inspiration, Laura! 🌱🪴💚🌝

[@jhunt5862]

I love your mom! "Is the basket mine, too?" Exactly what I'd ask my daughter if she showed up with that pretty thing. P.S. Your tomatoes look a LOT better than mine!

[@meetmanagergunstondistrict9564]

Your mom ALWAYS makes me smile. The funny thing was I saw you heading to her and thought “she’s gonna want the radishes AND the basket!”

[@Yvonne_ennovY]

Yes! It is such a great basket, I had a feeling that Laura’s mom would want it. 😀 Laura’s “nooo!” at the very end sounded very much like the way I’d answer if if my mom asked if the basket comes with the produce! 💖😂

Russell loves you so much. I get he can be frustrating especially when you are trying to do stuff and film but it is comical how he makes his entrance into your video. I think that personality of his puts a great smile on my face when watching your videos. Love that Russell he has a special place in my heart. Can’t wait to see all the color, we are getting closer to those days. Thanks so much for sharing your family with us. I am so grateful to be able to watch your channel. Kudos my friend on everything you do.

Laura, I love how you never seem to get stuck in a rut or way of thinking. You don’t really care for chard, but you found a new variety so you’re going to give it a try! Your open mind keeps life interesting!

[@gainesvintagehome]

Russell is the best “helper”. I have my own big dog helpers. Lol. It would be entertaining seeing a compilation of Russell and Cheddar outtakes or helpful moments! I do still want to see the Benjamin’s big problem compilation as well! Adorable!

[@foreverbloomswithjennifer8859]

Every year, there is something so special about planting your first spring crops!! I wait patiently every year and the first time I do it, it always feels like I missed my garden so much! 😍😍😍 houseplants and seed starting is fun, but there is something about being outside with my hands in my raised beds and pots. Just something.

[@janewasson4845]

Up since 3 45, news coffee, finally Laura and GA!! Will probably be napping later when I should be doing a washload. Heck with it!- I'd rather watch GA! Who wouldn't? 🌿😊🌿

[@twobluestripes]

Slice radishes into REALLY thin half moons, soak in lime juice, salt and pepper. Do this at the beginning of cooking dinner and leave in the fridge. Use as a garnish. Great on top of salads, tacos, quesadillas, etc. Very fresh and cooling as a garnish for warmer or richer dishes. Goes excellent next to creme fraîche or crema when that is uses as a sauce, too!

[@mindbodysoil66]

G' morning! Waiting on this rain to move out (day three) then hoping for warm the to STAY around. Eastern Iowa/ 5b. Hope it's sunny where you all are.

[@harvestwitchhome2899]

I love that you said the radish "forgot" to get color on top 😭 Also, I love to sub radishes for potatoes in winter soups 😋

[@kindafoggy]

I'm fascinated with plant dyes and I thought of Laura's gardens as I was watching "SWW Film Series: A Shetland Dye Garden - with Bunchy Casey". She explains what she grows in her gardens to make her dyes. Plants like Woad, Black Hollyhock, Chamomile, Madder, Safflower, Weld, Marigold, Indigo, Calendula and Coreopsis can be made into dyes, to name just a few. Also Sagebrush, red and brown onion skin, Juniper and Rose Hips are gardeners' dye gold. Deadheading and Fall clean-up could yield a virtual rainbow of dyes!

[@888-m2m]

Is the basket mine too .... no! 🤣 I absolutely adore your mom!

[@tonigardella4165]

The radishes look delicious and they really are good if you roast them . Love seeing Russell. 🪴❤️

Also for people not liking radishes a lot, try them on mixed salad, chop some iceberg salad, slice few young onionions, both white and green part and radishes sliced on thin slices, pinch of salt, and oil and vinager by your choice, I prefer appel cider vinager, enjoy ☺️☺️

[@jeanbrewer576]

Hi, I eat them with olive oil mix in some kosher salt and oregano for a snack it's really good

[@laraemitchell9064]

Looks like you had a stray “icicle” radish in there. I have to laugh at Cheddar following you around, getting all up in the beds. How satisfying to see all the success in the greenhouse. I’m especially envious of the delphiniums. I have so much trouble with them, but I love them so much, I’ll keep trying. 💚💚💚

[@alantrott6581]

When the leeks mature, clean, slice, saute in butter, add heavy cream and lemon juice, S&P. Goes with everything. Yum time.

So helpful after kind of an awful day. Russell always makes me smile. You will love Lineria. It's small, about the size of a regular alyssum plant but with the most enchanting little flowers in many colors. They have a nice scent as I recall. Easy but strictly cool weather.

The basket with the red radishes is totally "romancing the ordinary" ❤

[@altheab.8907]

And so it begins! So exciting, Laura. You’ll be surprised at how different radishes taste when cooked. Stir frying is good as well. The long ones are especially easy to prep. I cut them lengthwise in four pieces(or matchstick them). I also cook the stems and greens…..two stir fry vegetables from one plant. I use them in omelet muffins that I make for a quick breakfast along with mushrooms, cheese and other veggies, too. Loaded with nutrients. Not fond of them raw either.

[@fraukeg.facchini2691]

I think I need a raised garden. The area we park in would be a good spot with sun most of the day and, since we'll be building a garage behind the house soon, I can re-purpose that area. If I start with 2 beds, it should be do-able🤔😍

How exciting! This weekend will be in the teens for us then I will begin to 🌱. I make a chard au gratin that is delicious. Also a copy cat Panera chicken and rice soup that I swap out celery and add chard then sprinkle the leaves on top. I have also used the leaves when spinach is not available. It freezes well too. Hope this helps you enjoy the chard.
