Please do not apologize for being private for yourself, your home and your family.. Set your boundaries and stick to them. Do not let people invade areas you wish to keep for yourselves. You will be respected for doing so. I also appreciate your straightforward knowledge about gardening. Hopefully you can convince viewers to relax and simply enjoy what they are doing, without micromanaging everything..

[@audreylandon2934]

As much as I would love to see your home with all those beautiful antiques, you have a right to your privacy. You share a great deal of your life and family already. I look forward to your videos 6 days a week. You have taught and inspired me so much.

You and your family are a delight and your gifts back to your community are so uplifting. I have seen results in my own yard thanks to you guys. Oh for more shared business of any kind with a heart like yours. Thank you.

You decked out the South Garden with everything from A to Z. The north garden has been an eye sore at times but youve soldiered on. The Hartley looks spectacular, the boxwoods are finally planted with gorgeous tulips and daffodils. Everything worth it in life takes time. Thank you for everything youve achieved. My garden is currently developing to it's fullest glory it has ever been because of your content. Keep doing what you doing and reap the rewards shamelessly.

Someone may have already suggested this, but have the lights on the Hartley on a separate power source, that allows you to turn them off after a couple hours… exposing just the chandelier and tree inside for the remaining few hours. You will be able to see both scenarios from the house each evening. 🙂

I'm Virginia and I'm 66, I loved my gardening and could just do it all until about 4 years ago. All of a sudden I couldn't. And got worse too. I started late 30s , so I had 30 years later. I still do some , actually you got me doing a little more. So a bit sad but very thankful for what I can do.

[@kathytaylor9798]

Virginia, I’m almost 65. I need total knee replacement (March). I am a Master Gardener and have a helper. She is learning from me and I get the help I need. I hope you can find someone near you that can help you continue to enjoy your gardens.

[@jacquelenebennett4028]

Charles, I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm 67 and refuse to stop doing something I love but I'm down to 1 hour sessions in the garden except for using the ride on mower, I can do that all day. Lol

[@Young-Riders]

@@kathytaylor9798 and Virginia, I am 53 and last year had 2 total knee replacements after a serious accident. I was out planting new flowers by mild of spring before the first knee replacement and was back at it in August, I had 8 weeks of therapy on the right knee after June 11th, then in the fall I was planting bulbs the old fashion way, and used a kneel and sit combo cushioned apparatus recommended by my neurosurgeon, then in November, I had the 2nd knee done. In the early spring, I was out putting together a raised bed, and then from watching Laura and Aaron, I learned allot about putting them together and how to utilize the beds through the winter this year. I am thankful that I am now able to enjoy 2 passions in my life other than my family, I am horseback riding again and I still get to work in my 4 flower beds. This past Spring I took out a 4 year old oak tree that died and replaced it with a weeping Cheery tree and placed Snow in the summer and Midnight Salvia with yellow rudbeckias out in the area around it. Now I have to figure out a location in the yard to place a lilac bush that is fairly small in size in memroy of my father-in-law who passed away this past Sasturday evening, As I was dealing with my own grief I thought about how I could cherish dad''s memory. Then I seen an old video where Laura was sharing some of her favorite shurbs. I was so thankful I seen the video; even though I have seen it many times over the past few years. Thank you, Laura and Aaron for sharing your lives of gardening and your family live along with everything that goes on in your life, such as the antique trips and the issue with your mother recently, even the birth of your children. All of this is just amazing and seeing you presevere through and being so open with all of us out here (some who are total strangers) even amazes me more. You brighten many lives with your knowledge and experience with not just planting flowers or shrubs and even trees, but with recipes on how to combine different textures of foliage together and flowers colors in the spectrums that are bright and welcoming. I am just so thankful with the knowledge you have extended to us in your videos and because of this, I am able to do something extra special this spring for dad.

[@curiouscat3384]

I'm 68 and feeling the aches and pains but I manage aging with lots of magnesium, potassium and salt and I walk and do yoga. It's the only way to stay limber and work the kinks out after squatting and stooping. But I confess I can only do about 1/2 hour at a time before taking a break :) I've mostly been focused on vegetables and pruning old shrubs so it's nice now to have time to think about flowers and am inspired by Laura's expansive ideas :)

Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️ So funny Power Planter is sponsoring this video because last year I bought one of their packages and separately a 5” auger too however, my sister loved it so I called Friday to order another for a Christmas 🎄 gift, spoke with John and he gave me 10% off for being a repeat customer! Super nice guy and, I actually told him I ordered previous because of Laura from Garden Answer! I can’t imagine gardening without it! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

[@juliehudson7032]

When you and your mom and Monica were on a recent antiquing trip Monica kept looking at things related to Kitchen work and I thought wouldn't it be wonderful to actually be there with her and see what she's doing in her kitchen. I bet it's spectacular. I used to say someday I'll have a dream house built and it won't even have a kitchen in it, I will send out for everything. Now however I see that as a nursing home so I'm learning to pop things in the microwave😜😂 Everytime you do a kitchen project I'm impressed but I just have a hunch marvelous Monica just might kick it up a notch or two. It was fun getting to go into her house when you pick her up for the antiquing trip. Thank you Monica! I noticed a wall hanging behind one of your trees that was just one positive thought after another. I wouldn't mind having one of those I wonder where you purchased it. Blessings to the entire family.

Re Bio-tone for houseplants…..I use it all time. It has made a huge difference in the health and growth of my houseplants. I pour it into a large grated cheese container with a flip top and just pour some in the soil. There’s not a lot of the dust in the air and there is no fertilizer odor in the house. You could always use a small bucket and a scoop as well. Happy roots; happy plant. I transfer it from the bag into the container outside so when I pour it out of the bag the dust is not indoors. 😊💖🦋🕊

I totally get what Aaron was saying about screenshots. Prior to a few weeks ago, I would have no true understanding of what he's talking about but I submitted photos to the local Walgreens they were running a Photo special on their 2 x 2 acrylic cube photos. So screenshot all the different photos that I've taken this past year. Just about every single one kept saying "low resolution... photo may appear grainy or pixelated." I didn't understand why. It just so happens that one of the last photos I added, I had taken like a month prior so I didn't have to screenshot it to be at the end of my long list of photos. It was perfect. I didn't get that message about low resolutions. I've learned now whenever I want to have photos printed just take the time to submit the actual photo that I had taken regardless of when it was.... and not to screenshot them!!!!

A quick tip I was given by a nursery that sells bromeliads here in Central Florida-use distilled water. I know it’s an extra albeit frivolous step, but it really works. I grow the ornamental pineapples and other types that you can attach to trees and they seem to love it! This would eliminate Laura’s hard water issue. It’s sold in the baby section at Walmart usually under $1.

"It's a peach" a true Southernism. :) Hey, just relocate to Alabama and join gardening in our clay and humidity! Boy, would I love that!

[@terryyates8777]

I also garden in a zone 6, only in VA. It’s definitely the moisture along with the cold that ruins concrete here. Our winters are mild and wet for the most part, issues always come after a cold snap when it has been rainy and everything freezes under the snow.

I love the recap’s and I cannot wait to see how wonderful everything looks next year with all the progress you’ve both made this year ❤❤

[@patriciacole8773]

Yayyy another great week and recap. I treat myself to your videos either as a reward for getting my chores completed or as incentive beforehand. You are my number one garden video producer and I have until now overlooked telling you that. You have absolutely changed my life and garden for the better by probably a hundred times. I am at an age that I go forward with the energy from seeing others getting a lot done. There are quite a number of plants and garden ideas that I have borrowed from you guys. Many many thanks for all your contributions to my family. We appreciate you and are always hoping for your best and watching to gain knowledge and gather motivation for projects around our property. Have you heard of hypertufa? A way to make our own kinda rough cement type of pots. Blessings. And please forgive me if I have shared my opinion when it was unwelcome.

I love watching these videos on Sunday evening. I save it for the evening because then it eases my stress going the new work week.

[@lindabenford7134]

Love all your videos and garden inspiration ❤no negative comments here. The recap videos are great 😂 I enjoy watching Sunday morning with my coffee.

I'm with you Laura No lights on the Hartley just a lit Christmas tree in the Middle would be elegant.

[@dianeweeks352]

That combo of leaves and grass clippings from a fall mow is gardeners gold to me. I have used it for decades. We have never raked leaves.

[@lindabacklund2276]

Laura and Aaron, I love everything you do and share. I love the inspiration you give me to try something new in my yard, I love seeing your children grow and how patient you are in teaching them, I love seeing your interaction with your family. It is all a blessing to be able to watch. Pay no attention to the negative people. These people have no joy in their own lives and want others to be miserable too. 😢

Now we know how you get so much done you have help from garden Nancy.

Yay! Garden Nancy made it on the Highlights Channel!

[@sherylemoore8626]

Another Sunday morning well spent. Love these recap videos. I always learn a little something new from both of you as well as other viewers. Looking forward to the up-coming videos you mentioned. Glad you can find the humor in all the comments! Life is too short and it sounds like even the naysayers feel protective of you. Love what you both do.

I use my wood burner to melt holes in the bottom of pots. It's perfect!!

[@mrssam1775]

Thank you for answering my question. 🙂

[@kelsiehatlevig]

Winter in Minnesota can be a cold and wild ride! I do have to move or empty any container that isn’t a plastic/composite material! I’ve had terracotta and glazed pots bust too many times before. The pot will be in pieces and all that’s standing is the frozen ball of soil! If I want to use a container like that or a concrete one in the winter, I line the container with thick plastic and put the arrangement in a separate container that fits inside of the breakable container. I’ve had concrete birdbath bowls crack right in half, so those go inside too. I do use our fountains for winter arrangements, but have to line them also. I have the plastic drape over the edges just to make sure moisture doesn’t get to the bowl. The greens cover the plastic so it’s not as unsightly as it sounds.

You should shine a spotlight or two on the Hartley all year so you can enjoy it more 😁

[@BarbaraMcLamb]

I'm glad you guys can take the negative nellies in stride. I guess a lot of parents did not teach "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". I think most of those comments come from jealousy or envy. After all, you don't have to watch, or comment for that matter. I'm envious too. You guys are so talented and work so hard, therefore it's a good envy on my part because I'm not that talented and certainly can't work as hard as you do (and at my age nor do I want to). Keep it up. There is more of us in number that love you than the negative nellies.

[@jessicadickson5329]

For house plants I add Bio-tone and it does not smell once mixed with soil. Just an FYI and I am so thankful for you both. Thank you for being a source of inspiration and joy to us all. ❤

[@denisefaust1290]

Can’t wait to see the Andrew’s video! So fun! Gets me ready for the holiday season!

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

[@laurabethgiese3535]

Yes I have to bring in all cement pots in winter - another Laura from central Minnesota

[@michelleyanche1706]

Good morning from Brooklyn NY. Your videos have really inspired me and kept me motivated to tackle all the garden work that had gone undone over these past two+ years where work was so hard because of COVID. Finally have everything back in shape and ready for the new season next year. Thank you! Can’t wait to see the garden center Christmas tour!

[@berthongo8531]

Do what you want to do. No pressure. Have a great day!
