Thank you so very much for promoting donations of garden produce to local food pantries. I volunteer at our local food shelf & we so appreciate when gardeners bring in their extra produce. You wouldn't believe how much this means to both the organization & especially the clients. Thank you for leading by example & spreading the word.

[@kimberleyfrasquillo3684]

@Kathy Meyer ~ THANK YOU for volunteering at your local food shelf!👍🤗 I assume even the food shelves are hurting for volunteers.

[@GardenHappy]

I am so happy to hear this as well. I was wondering what they were going to do with all that cabbage! 👍👍👍😇😇😇

A harvest triumph! Congratulations, Laura! Just beautiful.

[@loissaedder2214]

@@GardenHappy she says in every video about her harvest, vegetables and flowers, that they donate the excess.

[@Gracefulwoman]

As someone who runs a local food pantry, donations of such beautiful organic produce is much appreciated.

[@eroswv]

One of the many reasons I love to watch Garden Answer is the community spirt that I see on this site. The donations to the Food Bank warm my heart. My Dad had a deal with the local food warehouse in our home town. Three times a week he would pick up food that they were going to throw away and take it to our local food bank and then what they did not need the Salvation Army would come and take the rest. When my Dad was in the hospital before he died the Director of the Salvation Army came to visit him. He told my Dad that the food he had been saving over the last 15 years was feeding over 2000 people a month. Just as he left a legacy for me to follow I think that Laura and Aaron are setting a fantastic example for Benjamin and Samantha Grace.

[@denisedorsey2889]

@Stephen Thompson ~ I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Father.💔 It sure sounds like he was one of God's Earthly Angels, like Laura and Aaron. It must make you so proud of him and you carry on his charitable cause. Thank you!

[@marnimajor64]

I found your channel and started watching your videos in 2018 after a tough 2017 (I lost 5 family members in 2017 - my Dad being one of them). Garden Answer became my therapy and I tell you, it couldn't have come at a better time! I come from a family of gardeners/farmers but it wasn't until I turned one half century old for that 'seed' within my DNA to 'sprout'. I've learned so much from Garden Answer and what used to be a bare landscape - at my home - now has trees, shrubs and flower beds and it's still growing. Sometimes when I'm out in the yard, neighbors driving by or walking their dog will stop and ask me: "what is the name of that plant?", "where can I get that plant?" It's unadulterated joy - for me - to have these conversations. It's taken some time but my Faith, Garden Answer and gardening have restored me and I can't even begin to express my gratitude. ❤🌹🌼🌻🌺🐞

[@DianeCee0]

You are such a sweet person, growing this food to donate. Thank you for being a bright light in this sometimes dark world.

[@stephanieblume5448]

Cabbage perfection! Bless you tenfold for growing with the intent to share. Hey, I dug my very first potato last night! I'm 62 and it's my first time growing them. Got the seeds from my dad who got them from his brother in KY. My uncle has been deceased for 10 years. I want to keep his pioneer potatoes going, like dad. And, I washed the potato well, salted & peppered it and ate it. YUM!

[@kimberleyfrasquillo3684]

Good morning! What a harvest of cabbage. To grow, tend & harvest all that to give to a food pantry is heartwarming. What a wonderful thing to do such a beautiful heart your family has. BTW just before watching this video I was watching Andrews Seed video of a new delivery. Hopefully your Mom will do videos periodically and we can see her also.

[@GardenHappy]

I was thinking the same thing Kathy!

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Good morning, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 I'm late this morning. I started weeding at 6:30a.m....trying to beat the heat! Happy Gardening and Weeding Everyone 👩‍🌾👍

[@laraemitchell9064]

You really had a productive day! I loved how the chicken wanted to be picked up, like a toddler. Then she was so eager to get the strawberry! So cute. Thanks for your efforts to help out the community. Beautiful cabbages to be shared. I’m reminded (I think last year) you took a pickup load to the garden center and gave them away. (Am I remembering that right?). I was in Nyssa last year for that, but didn’t make it to Ontario that day for it. Really fun to see the delightful reactions of folks, though. 💚💚💚

[@jglakecity]

Laura you have such a huge heart! Your donations will mean the world to families that normally wouldn't have access to healthy fresh produce.

The blue color of those red acre cabbage is so beautiful. I would love those in a potted arrangement or a window box!! Who else got hungry for breakfast after seeing those fresh eggs? 🍳🥓

[@kkate9366]

Ahhhh! Morning in the garden with Laura! 🌼

[@simplelife6294]

Oh wow the cabbage is looking amazing! It is winter here in Sydney, and number of floods on the Australian east coast, and inflation, cabbage prices have gone through the roof around where I live, it is somewhere between $10-$15 for a head of cabbage and lettuce is about the same as well 🥺 I can’t wait for warmer weather to come!

[@kimberleyfrasquillo3684]

@Simple Life, WOWWWWW, that is highway robbery; $10-$15 per head of lettuce or cabbage? A single seed would only cost about 5 cents. The stores and government should be ASHAMED of themselves for their greed and taking advantage of people. I am sorry to hear that Australia is suffering those outrageous prices.💔

[@denisefaust1290]

Met some people from Australia years ago when we were vacationing in Hawaii. They were telling us how expensive everything is there. They were thrilled with the prices in Hawaii, which of course were much higher than the mainland. Sad to see that inflation is hitting you guys even harder now. Best wishes!

[@pollytiks3885]

Saw the flood damage on the news. 😱 I hope the weather settles down now. I hope food prices get better soon too!

Living vicariously through you, we are having a horrendous drought and heat wave in central Texas right after my husband built my dream garden for me for Mother’s Day. Can’t wait to have a thriving garden again. Until then, I’ll just binge watch you!

[@tina1907]

Can the chickens eat the rest of the cabbage leaves left on top of the soil after harvesting the head of cabbage? Beverley was so adorable lifting her wings slightly to be picked up. Thank you for adding things like the chickens to your videos, I didn't know their character could be so adorable (00:12:15).

[@andreabenson2491]

The cabbage harvest was so amazing, I planted six green and two red and just harvested the red, I'm so excited I grew that! They look beautiful when they grow too, like a big flower! I gave one to my neighbor and the other to my daughter. 👏👍

ahhh, isn't it great to be out working early in the morning? i'm loving it, just me and the birds and a few early bees... love the raised beds at the food center! wonder if they'd have room for potatoes? maybe they got too late a start this year, but the ratio of plant to potatoes is amazing... those strawberries look amazing... i'm doing mine in hanging baskets because the rolypoly/pillbugs just have a grand time if i grow them in the ground, sigh... cabbage is gorgeous; wish i liked it better, lol!! what a great day in the gardens!! hope you had a little time to put your feet up later.. 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video!! 🙂 ❤

So glad the food pantry is receiving your surplus of a beautiful harvest.

[@amysgardenstead2879]

Did Benjamin not know about the strawberries? There are so many and ours are done in upstate NY. So are the ranunculus here. I always have extra vegetable starts but I grew extra for a Girl Scout Gold Award which was starting a community raised bed vegetable garden for a food pantry. I also save some for a community garden in the city of Syracuse. It makes you feel good to give back to the community with something you love! Be warned my mahogany splendor gets about 5 feet tall.

Hi Laura, those are some beautiful heads of cabbage! After you harvest a head of cabbage from the plant will the plant continue to grow another head of cabbage? Or is the plant done with just one head? Thank you for donating your produce to the local food pantry. I love what you and Aaron have done and are continuing to do with your property! I'm excited to see what you turn the newest section into soon. I'm in my late 50's and not in good health and I'm living vicariously through you and watching what you do everyday on your beautiful property. So thank you for sharing your life with us and allowing us to be a part of it. Hopefully someday I'll be able to be back out there planting a garden and roses too.

Laura can grow so much on her huge property, and I love that she dedicates a bit of space for edibles that can be donated. Of course the trees, shrubs and flowers are beautiful, but it's also nice that she plants, harvests and donates some food too. It also just tickles me a bit how much she really does not need to make her gardening about food production and storage unlike others who squeeze as much productivity out of their small gardens. I kinda feel a bit bad about that lol

The plant with the large white blooms is covered with honey bees. So good to see all the honey bees. I don’t believe I have seen any hives on your place. Your garden provides a lot of nectar and so much attractive color. Do you think you will ever have bee hives? Maybe on the empty lot you bought this year?
