Will You Be Attending Any Shows in 2022? // How Many Times Has HGTV Approached You? // Recap 🌿

[@katrinanaylor1135]

I prefer your channel to ANYTHING that HGTV could ever possibly put out. Yours is real and it definitely shows. No scripts...just real people doing real gardening.....or what ever other projects you have going. Thank you! 😁

[@007Lehua]

Amen!!

[@MisBunnypics]

Stopped watching HGTV over a decade ago. When they first started out they were mostly gardening and great then they turned into infomercial garbage.

[@cindypatin3577]

Agreed!

[@Tojmc]

YES TO THIS

[@saraw8503]

HGTV (and food channel) are long ago in my rear view mirror. I enjoyed landscaping and curb appeal shows. Now it is just a lot of competition shows and stuff for which I have zero interest.

[@nhunter6506]

The addition of Aaron’s presence, view points and humor add a wonderful dynamic to these reviews. Like the frosting on a cake!

[@Tojmc]

I find him incredibly level headed too

[@salysellsss]

Yes, I am an Aaron fan too!

[@shelleycarmichael3454]

We all love Aaron!!! I still think he needs his own music.

[@TaylorOwen]

“People get joy from different things, MARK.” I really appreciated this moment.

[@dianequist835]

🤣Seeing a catty Laura at that moment was fitting.

[@melaniecalderon8973]

Hilarious!! Sweet shade lol

[@trace9657]

Not to mention that she did say a couple of times that she wanted that setup to be more of a winter theme than Christmas so it could stay in place longer.

[@JujuBee77]

🤣🤣🤣 yeah, mark!

[@carladuus4338]

Laura & Aaron, I agree with others - don't lower your standards by going on HGTV! I used to love HGTV, but when they took all gardening shows out, that was when I quit watching. My favorite was Paul James the Gardener Guy. He was so kooky he was hilarious; but the man knows gardening! I actually learned more about gardening from him (& P. Allen Smith) than anyone else - until I discovered Garden Answer.... Please stick to your own format, your own style, your principles and obvious love of growing. That's why we all are here and not watching TV! Love you guys; you're a breath of fresh air.

[@grammasworld]

Re: Neighbors. Three years ago. I had lived in this house forty-seven years and the yards (someone else's responsibility) grew sadly neglected. So, I decided to start from scratch in the typical SoCAL front yard. You and I have pretty much opposite visions on what makes a yard, but what I'd learned from you was that within the vision - whatever it is - a gardener can do ANYTHING if they mentally divide the space into sub-sections and do a bit at a time. I dug up my nasty front lawn first. 67 years old. With a shovel. It is now planted with native plants in a meadow of sweet alyssum and golden poppies. Still shaggy, and I'm still (at age 70) struggling to make it more socially acceptable. But I stopped worrying when my new neighbor across the street took the time and effort (and a cane) to come across not to give dirty looks or to offer help, but simply to tell me how much she had been enjoying watching the transformation. She said "It's like having a home improvement show out my front window." I would wish her on everyone.

[@amandalong1749]

I've had neighbors tell me that I make them look bad. Not all of them are nice about it when they say it 🙊.

[@lcostantino7931]

Good for you,,, I'm 74,, bought a 110yr old crafts man style home... With seriously neglected property n house..... Lots of work BUT. Keeping me for used on better things than the news.... LOL... Love ur neighbor s feel ur as good as a professional show..... LOL

[@cindysidwell9936]

How nice, I feel that way about Garden Answer, at 82 yrs old , & downsizing to a patio home , my current garden is a 2ft drip strip, & north facing patio. I'm reconfiguring it to grow things new to me, since Aaron & Laura are in zone 5+ you've opened up new ideas.

[@mammie19621962]

I LOVE how Aaron is no longer just a voice in the background BUT ACTUALLY seen in camera. 😊💜😊

[@barbaramccann7944]

“Top tier….where everyone knows who you are…”…..that’s YOU! And, I’m happy you have success in your chosen business model as it gives viewers the content I and other gardeners want . It’s REAL, thank you!

[@debbieberg3850]

Your videos are my daily Entertainment, I like them all, don't change anything! I'm a 70 yr great grandmother in Texas. You two are so sweet with each other

[@lucy2beme]

I've always loved this channel but this last year Laura and her family saved my sanity. Thank you for the years of entertainment but especially the entertainment in the last year.

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Agree!

[@cweaver6792]

You are WAY WAY better than HGTV!! Any shows they do that feature landscaping and plants are overproduced and not very educational; mainly because they are trying to get to the "end product" so quickly, they glaze over the steps to get to the end of the project. I also think you have a great thing going with KZbin, and over 1M subscribers!

[@marmaladesunrise]

So glad you are in charge of your shows & content. I find hgtv to be scripted with forced humor and a totally unnatural feel to it. Your & Aaron's content is real, honest & down to earth. Mistakes & all! Nothing compares in the media to what y'all offer. Stay the course, you've got it right!

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

I think HGTV should just pay her to repost her episodes just exactly as Aaron and Ken make them now. So many more people would benefit --and all Aaron would have to do is "send the tape". Win Win HGTV are you listening? Garden Answer is perfect as is so pay them to repost their episodes, as is!

[@jans8790]

I agree….I find myself giggling and smiling all the way through these videos, and I don’t do any of that on those tv shows…..this is real

[@kathy8832]

Good morning! I think a lot of your followers think you are “top tier”. HGTV doesn’t know what they are missing. Always love watching your videos & Instagram. Have a good week.💚

[@tiroshi83]

I think they are way better off by themselves, but their show would be more of a Magnolia Network kinda show 😄

[@YSLRD]

Yup. She's ours. I'm glad GA wasn't interested.

[@stallkvernbakkan8145]

Have just become acquainted with your channel .. We moved and the garden has been a challenge too big, so the years go by and nothing is planted / done. BUT, you have given me faith and answers to what I can do with my garden, and seeds are orded.. Thank you very much! And I liked your comment: "I'm not a team player." Because I'm not, either - but suddenly it became a little easier for me to accept this and also think: ..it's ok .. (I will of course do my part to get better - but it's Ok: And I'm good enough as I am ..) You made my day!

[@janetsmith6716]

Trust me, you will so enjoy and learn so much from this channel!! Whether your garden is large or small, there will never be a video that you have not learned SOMETHING!!!🪴🌷🌱🌻🌺🌹💐🌿🌳😃

[@janb5488]

Good morning GA! I love that you are Not on HGTV. You belong to yourself and your family. I love how you not only model 'how to' garden and inspire us. You also model 'Family Values'. I can think of so many aspects that would be lost if you belonged to them. Aaron would not be sitting there talking about how he admires you ("you work so fast") , his love for you and your family is almost tangible as is your love for him and your family. 👪❤️

[@willothewispl]

Laura, that overhead view of you walking down the paths between all those heavenly flowers looked like a fairytale. I cannot imagine what that must smell and look like from inside the rows of flowers. It just looked rather magical all those tall and beautiful flowers. God Bless.

[@josweatt898]

I know! It was just incredible watching her stroll along those gorgeous blooms on either side.

Blundstone boots are an Australian brand that originated in Tasmania…they are the preferred boots for many people because of their comfort and style…there will be a run on them now because they’re the ones Laura is wearing for gardening 👨‍🌾….🥰🇦🇺

[@terria9739]

Green is a color. It's one of my favorite colors! Thanks, Laura and Aaron, for all you do to educate and bring joy to us all! This has been an especially hard year for me and my family. Our oldest son died in May, he was only 35. Your videos have helped me through some difficult days.

[@staceyallard2692]

I’m very sorry for your loss. 😢♥️

[@barbaramclean5995]

Sending you a virtual hug. GA has done so much good for so many, myself included. Wishing you the best. 🎄

My condolences to you Terri

[@frasersgirl4383]

I understand……we lost our granddaughter in April of 2020…..the grief is immeasurable and never ending……🥺💔🥺

[@ednawarren1421]

I like it when your both talking cause it takes team work to manage a property or a garden. My husband says I'm the flight of fancy that keeps our garden creative and he's the weight that keeps me grounded. Its wonderful to see a husband and wife team!

[@scheralgreider5406]

Planted thousands of tulip bulbs for eight years when I worked at a zoo and also helped plant tulip bulbs one day at the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, OH.

[@susancheer5981]

Mark, dude, it's an ode to winter solstice. A time for quiet introspection. She's got plenty of color and joy going on in other places. Happy New Year Laura, Aaron and kiddos, you inspire so many of us and also show so many on limiited budgets that it's not about the money, but looking around to use and recycle what you've got on hand.

[@raeperonneau4941]

Laura, your vocabulary is excellent. When you say “is that the right word” it always makes me laugh because you’re usually totally correct. Lol You have no need to question yourself ~ as my Mom, who was an English teacher, would say, you have a lovely grasp of the language!

[@devildog1912]

As the old sayin goes, `A fool is full of confidence, a wiseman is full of doubt`.

The editing of you in the fish tank was hysterical

[@kathymacomber5115]

I love the “ winter cart”.I like calm and peaceful.The spring is full of color. Sometimes it feels good to have calm.

[@LaurieEggleston37]

You just crushed this one! So many good things! "Mark". The fish tank editing. I really enjoyed watching! It is snowing here in Western Washington. I am so looking forward to the new spring. When you mentioned your cosmos, my "stand" popped into my mind! I loved the glorious drift of flowers floating around at head height!

[@blackkatukulele6968]

Laura, I once was told, I was not a team player, so my husband and I started our own little business and now we are semi-retired. Not being a team player sometimes means you are a leader and just made to do your own thing in life. It's a good thing, just saying!.

[@altheab.8907]

For the person asking about chipmunks, I cut the bottom off the large Dunkin Donuts iced cups (7 1/2”tall) and put that into the ground around my seeds when I plant them. I put three long heavy wooden skewers into the inside of the cup to keep them from falling over. Keeps the bunnies from eating my seedlings (and squirrels from digging them up)….and acts as a mini greenhouse of sorts. I leave them in place on my tender shoots like pea pods a and beans and it keeps them safe from munchers. On big plants like sunflowers I remove them once the stems are thick. For bulbs….I save onion and lemon net bags and place them over my tulips and when the critters dig and get caught in the netting they give up. Every now and then I’ll see a bit of the netting above ground and know something was trying to get at them. Seems to work. Still have my tulips every year.

[@erindewan6758]

So smart!! Thankyou! I thought I’d never be able to have sunflowers, you’re a Godsend!

[@altheab.8907]

@@erindewan6758 I have bunnies, a groundhog, skunks, and squirrels that bury peanuts one of my neighbors puts out by the huge bagfuls. Overpopulated with squirrels. I usually see a chipmunk, but there only seems to one at a time. If I see the path they take I spread cayenne on the ground. When they try to lick it off they get a big surprise. They do tend to eat my strawberries. They’re so tiny they can sneak through netting, the little buggers. I get very upset when they eat or destroy my vegetables….especially my pea pods. I use small pointed wooden skewers with the points sticking up to keep squirrels out of my pots and hanging pots and around new plants (I stab myself a lot when weeding….I think they hurt me more than the squirrels. I saw something recently on KZbin to eliminate rodents….mix equal amounts of flour and baking soda. They will eat it looking for salt. They cannot burp or expel gas any other way so when they drink it fizzes and pouf! Not kind, but not poison that would be harmful to anything that eats them. Going to try that on the mice in my shed. When you cut the bottoms off the plastic cups be very careful. They are quite thick. The medium size cup is not as thick and easier to cut through but they are shorter…if you only have chipmunks, they are smaller so the mediums would probably be ok. I have big critters. The groundhog is the worst. He’s a candidate for the flour and baking soda when he wakes up in the spring. I use poultry shears to cut the bottoms off. I am going to try using an awl next time to make a hole first. I have to have my son sharpen my awl I wore down the tip making holes in quahaugs so I could get my knife in to open them. I don’t have a proper clam knife. I hope the cups work for you. I thought about making something 3-4” round with hardware cloth, but that’s a lot of wire cutting and bending to make them 8-10” high. I use dozens of the cups. Glad I could be of help.

[@angelagalbreath7653]

What a great idea to use net bags! I’m going to start saving them for next fall. I have a new back yard to landscape in what used to be an orchard and figure rodents won’t take long to find me.

[@heathermcelroy7171]

I really appreciate that you release videos that follow what is happening in your garden right now! As a beginner gardener I use your channel to help guide what I'm doing in my garden.

Blundstone boots have been made in Australia since the 1800's. They're strong boots with good arch support and are super comfortable. I believe they're now made in China but I believe the quality is still good. Aussie's call them Blunnies.

Have you ever seen Sweet Autumn Clematis and the summer one..what a great vine that grows fast and the flowers are out of this world…

[@nikkiwebber1349]

I have learned so much and have been genuinely inspired by your videos. I’ve incorporated the phrase “romancing the ordinary” into my daily life. What a change in attitude that brings to the mundane tasks and moments throughout the day. I find myself dreaming and being more thoughtful. And caring for all my plants gives me a greater purpose type-of-feeling. I adore everything that you’ve created here and wish you all great success in your lifetimes.

[@susanmitchell2687]

You guys are so much better than anything on hgtv, plus they would tell you what to do and then it wouldn’t be real. Also love the fish added to the background, you are such a clever bunch. Happy New Year to you all. Namaste

[@jessimae7540]

Just felt the need to say thank you for all you do! I started watching your channel a few years ago and was so impressed with the production value. I've stayed because I greatly enjoy the many personalities of you, your beautiful family and friends. I think Aaron hit the nail on the head with his explanation about HGTV. You guys don't need them. We love you just the way you are. Keep pumping out the videos and we'll be here to support you! Happy gardening and happy holidays!!!

[@Higginsangel]

I had to chuckle when you mentioned the match cloche. I’ve never heard of such a thing but admired it in that video where I seen it. So glad you brought it up and I’ll bet Amazon gets a huge influx of orders on it. It’s on my cart for sure. So love your videos. A family member who owns a funeral home invited me to come and plant some flowers and bushes. Starting back in the spring. Found a new passion and get paid for it lol.

[@sabrinaqualley5743]

I think the exact match cloche from the video probably came from Crate and Barrel (CB2). Amazon has several that are similar, but I really liked the spiral on the one in the video.

Hi, Laura and Aaron: Regarding the question about bulbs on top of the ground: My old clumps of bulbs, as they multiplied, would push smaller bulbs to the surface, a sure indication that the clump needed to be divided.

How to make moss: using a blender, add moss, milk & yogurt and blend. You can brush this onto pots. Maybe it will work for fancier moss growing.

My hubby and I (especially my husband) find it hard to spend money on Christmas decor and because of being inspired by your videos, instead of going to the greenhouse to buy a centerpiece, I gathered stuff I already had, including a couple oil lamps and dried so.e orange slices and created a beautiful table scape!!!

[@monkeygraborange]

To protect sunflower (or any other) seedlings, I always surround the seedlings with one quart plastic containers from the supermarket which I cut the bottom off of. Often times I can see where the chipmunks have scratched at them, but if you bury the first inc or two they generally can’t dislodge them. The clear ones are best because you don’t really notice them, but any container will work.

[@iamheretocomment9821]

Here we are, day after Christmas and, because the inspiration and motivation your channel has given me, I received flower seeds and the Dewalt drill and Augers as gifts. Thank you very much Laura and Aaron! Now, to begin my spreadsheet! I'm so ready for seed starting trays (1st timer) I'm gonna attempt to use my unheated greenhouse without grow lights and pray for the best. I am successfully growing Sage, Basil, Dianthus. I forced (in pot) Paper whites (blooming) and the tulips n hyacinths are poking thru! Our local grocery store was selling 3' Leyland Cypress arborvitrae in gallon pots for Holiday, priced at $43.00 each, I got lucky when I went to buy a couple and found them reduced to $20.00. Needless to say I bought the remaining eight.... they are thriving in my greenhouse and I can't wait to get them in the ground this Spring. ❤

I have to say the ending cracked me up as well. I feel like your brain can only hold so much, so only keep the important things in there! Movies, in my opinion, just aren't valuable information. They entertain you, but then it's over. No need to remember facts about it. But maybe that's just me...or maybe it isn't! Thanks, Laura, for just being you.

Your thinking on speed of videos is right on target to my way of thinking! Your cooking video was slow, calm and "Juicy", while your digging/gardening videos are often sped up appropriately. Good thinking! We're definitely on the same wave length--and thanks for being such a detail person! Love it!

Laura and Blended with Madonna Devlin. You are so right. It takes time to accumulate the things you love and your taste changes over time as well. The purpose is to inspire.

I think Facebook was still a college only thing in 2010. As for moss- we have a damp patch under a tree that won't grow grass. It's softer and prettier anyway.

I love how you know that you would not fit their mold. You are a ‘One of a kind’ and We all love you for it! ❤️ I missed a few of your videos this week, well…because Christmas… Love you and your Family…🙏❤️

"Mark..." I love that. Thanks for the laugh.

[@andreabenson2491]

Love watching the real videos and then the recap brings back all the stuff I may have forgotten....kind of like you with Aaron's movies lol. I'm a lot older than you and the recaps really help my weird forgetful mind!!🤪❤️you guys are great!

Just an FYI for the people asking about your potting tray. They have one in Johnny’s seed catalog. You can also find them on Amazon. Funny story. I hit a link Aaron had put in the description for one of those and I ordered it. A very long and heavy box arrived…it was a plastic door for a greenhouse. Not what the picture showed at all! And no way do I think Aaron put the wrong link. The Amazon person I’m sure read the wrong numbers or something. But it was funny! I did order it again and got the correct item. Love it! Thank you for all y’all give to us.

I'm a homebody also and do not like to fly. Finding your videos has made me very happy and now I am gardening a lot more than I used to. I was so excited with a new Azalea garden I planted this year and looking forward to spring. East Tennessee in the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains.

Thank you for your videos. Because there are so much trash out there everywhere claiming to be “Reality “ when in FACT they are not. And if that is their reality I’m sad for them. If that were my reality I would RUN from it and never look back. Not embrace it like a lot of people do. I am sixty three and have become a OTR truck diver. What helps me cope with the loss of my life before is your channel. It’s like watching home movie’s of my life. Thank you so very much. God Bless you and your family.

I’m with all those who are HGTV naysayers.... you don’t need them, yes Laura they would absolutely change your brand. By the way you are definitely “ top tier “ as far as I’m concerned! Aaron the insertion of the fish to make it look like Laura was in an aquarium was too funny! Just wondering if I missed the Christmas home tour or if you chose not to do one. All the best and many blessings for the new year. 🎄🥳

[@carolowings6033]

Yes Laura You are way too good for HGTV!!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! I always enjoy your recap videos! I'm happy, too, that you aren't even considering doing HGTV, or any other TV shows. You are top tier just as you are. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@lindachenoweth9002]

If we were voting, I would say, just keep doing what you're doing! Its working well!

[@patriciacole8773]

Laura, I love your strong work ethic. Aaron, I love your kind and understanding ways. Different personality types and traits. All , living from their strengths rather than the weaknesses of their character types are of value. It’s fun to see and you guys are engaging and wonderful! Thanks for being strong, healthy examples to us. We’re grateful for such supreme content. My favorite word last year was connection. This year it’s upgraded to “ dynamic connection “. You two are dynamic. That’s attractive.

Beth's comment definitely hits home with me too. I have rental neighbors who just moved in who constantly try to undermine my gardening peace. Screaming Every time they see me outside while making snide remarks about what else I'm planting, letting their grandson hit my vinyl fence with sticks and breaking off panels. Just the other day I caught the grandmother dumping her leaves and garbage over my fence 🤦🏻‍♀️. I'm not the type of person to be confrontational. I figured if I just ignore them it'll stop but it doesn't seem to. I really enjoy gardening but it's been challenging to say the least. I've been a homeowner in my neighborhood for over 30 years so it's hard to up and move.

[@staceyallard2692]

I know I can be needy on here - lol But I WOULD LOVEEEEE a video (like your peaceful harvesting & cooking video) of you placing your chandelier and pieces in the Hartley and the flower shed in that type format!! That way you can talk us thru the process of what your are putting in it and why and where you got it etc.. I think that would be really wonderful. 😊♥️

[@mmarinl508]

Your comments about the slower paced cooking video made me think, this would be an amazing format for Saturday videos (occasionally). That slower pace, with most folks having a little more time, perfection.

[@sonjagonzales7045]

Laura we've watched you so much you feel like one of our family, we appreciate all that you and Aaron do, we've learned so much from you, we also love the relationship you have with your famil. Especially the time you share with your Mama, that is the greatest treasure a mom can have Love to you and Aaron SONJA

[@kgardennerd]

“People get joy from different things, MARK” 😂 kills me, and one of the reasons I love watching these - you don’t take no crap from nobody!

[@ginnyevans1035]

I'm with you, Laura, movies are in one ear and out the other with me, too! My daughter was just teasing me about "watching a movie again for the first time." Couldn't believe I heard the same words come out of Aaron's mouth like 2 hours later. Lol. Anyway, always enjoy your videos and HGTV has nothing on you!
