Yes, it’s called extreme narcissism. The only way they can feel good about themselves is to put others down. They thrive on the pain of others. Disgusting non humans. Best way to deal with them is to ignore them. Giving them any type of attention whether negative or positive only gives them fuel for their disordered thinking.

Keep helping wildlife, just don’t share it when you do. I’m sure people are saying natural selection, but that falls under predation, flooding or wildfires, not accidentally exposing a nest of eggs. You did right by giving them a chance to hatch and grow to the proper release age. Unfortunately rules can do more harm when proper consideration is not given to each situation. 😒

I just read through everyone else’s comments and I had to add my 2 cents. Way to go whoever turned Laura in. I hope you see this. Every law that was ever made for the protection of anything, EVERY ONE has exceptions that don’t fit that law and actually enforcement does damage to the exact thing it was meant to protect.

If they are so worried about people keeping the wild animals as pets, then why don't they have a plan in place when they confiscate motherless babies that are too young to survive on their own? Where are THEIR incubators to be able to care for the babies until they are old enough to be released? Instead, they sent those babies out to CERTAIN DEATH!

[@twobluestripes]

The better thing to do would have been to inform Laura about the law in a message for the future (so they could maybe find out if there was any state certified wildlife rehab program to take eggs or animals to if a similar incident happened again) and not do anything else until the quails were big enough and safely released. I understand being very skeptical of the friend mentioned who has an incubator and wanting it to be looked into, what if this is a person who shouldn’t be DIY rehabbing wildlife, but if they were actually concerned about the quail they definitely should have waited, this person was going to release them and not keep them as pets or sell them or something, and Laura was clear that she would give updates and put that online, so it would have been easy to see that they were released.

I'd love to see a compost "project" when you're ready. My little backyard setup doesn't smell, ever. I keep it covered and keep the proper mix. I've been experimenting with shredded cardboard and kitchen scraps only in a smallish bin and it's working so well. I've been amending my garden soil for years and there's a big difference in growth of my garden veggies.

[@nspector]

Yes, I'd like to add that neither my compost, nor my neighbor's smells. Mine is in tumblers, so it's covered, but my next door neighbor's (small yards) is open. Now, yes, if you stick you nose deep into the pile, there will sometimes be a bit of a "compost odor." But even with their larger open bins, I have never smelled it wafting into the air. We both only put vegetable material in, nothing with meat or dairy. For sure if we put in meat or dairy, it would be a problem. I know you *can* compost with animal products, but that brings a whole set of problems, of course, and is usually not recommended for home composting. Bottom line: I don't see your compost area being a problem with odor. It's a really nice feeling to use your own garden waste this way, and feed your garden with compost you've made yourself. One thing that Aaron's likely looked into -- You will want a heavy duty shredder for the scale you'd be doing it. Will speed everything up tremendously.

Jk, but in all seriousness that's why some people chooses to turn a blind eye when there is trouble. You just never know if a good deed will be held against you.

Add the people who complain about her hair and long sleeves to that category too. The internet brings out the weird and crazy.

[@susanschuck8124]

Oh Laura we love you and what you do. Your videos are just amazing! Stay encouraged and positive!

[@lizmerritt2148]

Never forget that you are truly amazing! All that you get done is unbelievable, especially with 2 small children. You are so kind, informative and helpful. Sorry that someone felt the need to report you. Thanks for all the hard work you put in making your videos!

[@christinesaunders4638]

Your graciousness continues as you tell us the fate of the baby quail. I can only imagine how heated I would be if this happened to me- I’m embarrassed thinking of my choice language after the troopers left my property!

[@dorothyvantvoort4535]

Well said, me too

[@dianaash8077]

Me too!

[@YSLRD]

I don't swear, but the troopers would have my thought while they were there.

[@farmgirlBdub]

Ya'll always wonder if your videos or recaps are too long.. I don't know how the behind the scenes insights work, but I always watch the whole thing... we have this beautiful thing called pause. I start your videos when they hit your channel. Get inspired and pause so I can go do some stuff, then come back when I have a few... it's 10:25pm, and I've been catching snippets of this recap all day between chores I have to do. You are my "get to" and I'm SO THANKFUL.

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

I love watching you save seeds and I save the bloomers in my garden from year to year. Sorry about your Quail Eggs. There seems to be one "Pickle Puss" in every group.

[@kimcole1976]

😂 😆 pickle puss! 😝

[@meganneale2074]

“I know there’ll be trees’ … you sounded so like your lovely ☺️ mum when you said that Laura. Keep up the beautiful work and videos you two, much appreciated. Love from Oz.

[@laurencarleton236]

I think you should invite the person who reported you to stay in the "guest" room on a nice windy day. Yes, I already have hand basket reserved for my trip to hell. :o)

So sad about the quail! We know your intentions were to help! You can never have a video too long for those of us that love you!

[@Ann-bw8hm]

What type of person would report you on the guail eggs? Good grief. There are all types of people in this world. I can't even wrap my head around it. Sorry you had to deal with that, but thank you for attempting to help those poor babies.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

I don’t think we say enough what an asset Aaron is. Y’all truly are a great match!🥰

[@auroraborealis3764]

Makes me so mad that someone turned Laura for trying to save the quail eggs. Do they not see the intent? And those 3 day old quails didn’t have a chance out being released. I tell you this is a messed up world. It blows my mind how some people are. Why are they even watching Laura?

[@Benniibennii]

The positive thing from this video is now we ALL know that if we encounter an injured or abandoned animal or eggs or whatever found by accident, to not tell anyone and save them behind closed doors since there’s some miserable people out there!!! ♥️

[@joanneedwards7354]

So sad about the quail, thank you for trying to help them xox

[@Abugslife317]

I know in our area, our city does a composting program where you have an extra “trash” bin for composting materials. They’ll pick it up once a week, compost it for you, and then bring you finished compost once a month or so? Pretty awesome! If you guys have that in your area, that would be a good option! 😊 so sad to hear about the quail babies 😔 you did the right thing trying to save them

[@antoinettegainous4883]

I'm excited to hear Jerry and Jenny are coming to visit y'all. Y'all are my favorites.

[@rhondaduncan7602]

Did you see Creekside's Spring Meadow Cottage tour video that she posted yesterday? Lovely shrub beds throughout the planting areas. Of course, the first thing I thought of was your "blank slate" property, just begging to be planted. It would be nice to see how a few "shrub only" planting areas work in high desert. Cool that J&J are flying out to help y'all morph your cold frame into a heated greenhouse! Thank y'all for the beautiful and informative videos. Always a bright spot in the day! ♥️🌸🌿

[@isomABC]

I’m over in Portland OR, and my mind was just blown hearing Laura’s excitement about finding earthworms in their soil- what!?! Never realized I was taking worms for granted. Learned something new!

[@djackson2243]

Jenny & Jerry & Laura & Aaron, what a super chat.

[@gillianmuspic2337]

I am surprised that they didn't make an executive decision to let the baby quails wait in care instead of releasing them to a certain death. The fact that someone would report you for doing this just blows my mind!

[@barbleskinen3875]

Totally feel the fear in a windstorm because I experienced for the first time in my 65 years living in the same spot and never had to experience a tornado until 4 weeks ago and lost 12 trees in my yard and over 25 across the street in my vacant lot still cleaning up and believe me I love when but now I'm looking at the treetops making sure they're all right!!

[@shivaninautiyal6951]

Its 2:28am here and everytime is perfect time to watch garden answer

[@deannaharden7411]

Your opening response in regards to the qual eggs was handled so professional. You both are so down to earth and your intentions are always for the good in all you do!!!

[@mrsta1267]

There was a time when the sour faced neighbor was the butt of jokes but now the jerks are anonymous and much more empowered. I couldn't imagine going through life trying to ruin other people's lives. So sad. Bravo to you Laura for being much nicer about it than I would have been !

[@cindydavison5278]

Oh! I love Jenny and Jerry! Looking forward to seeing them at your home the end of September! 💕

[@TruFinds77]

😥 the quail , so disappointed in ppl. Thx for trying to save them and bringing us along .

[@ncflowergirl1446]

Can’t wait to see Jenny and Jerry at your house 😍 how fun is that! I started watching her because she is in our area but I love you guys best 🥰

[@dkutie4real]

"MISERY LOVESSS COMPANY!!!!" It was evident that you had NO ILL INTENT, regarding the Quails eggs. Ya know, I just don't understand for the life of me, WHY some people poke their noses into others lives with Cruel intentions?! If those ppl spent 1/2 the time focused on their own miserable lives, they wouldn't have the time to focus on others. Laura, DON'T ever allow someone's ignorant actions to dictate how you move!! I think I can speak for alot of us; WE APPRECIATE what You and Aaron bring to the table! Continue to be yourselves, and God will continue to BLESS YOU!! 🌺🙌🌺 Happy Gardening!! 💕 🤗😊

[@creative227]

Aaron, it’s tough working with a ‘creative’ when you’re a planner. She’ll know when the vision appears, until then you just have to wait! ❤️😊

[@allysonh6410]

So much yes

[@barbll000]

I love sitting in while you two chat about plans and how you think and feel about stuff. Great video as always

[@angelamitchell9385]

You need to be a contributor for “wine & weeds” the impatient gardener. I get excited when I see a recap video that is an hour plus. Since discovering your channel you have replaced Netflix! Love it❤️

[@digsindirt4490]

That would be perfect! Laura could make one of her tasty garden cocktails.

[@lucyyoung5307]

I braid my daffodil foliage so they are taking less space and lay over beneath other plants.

[@valeriemiller7611]

Who in the world would have reported you for trying to save the baby quail?!?!? Honestly I don't understand people sometimes! I think you are amazing for trying to save them. Thank you for all of you great videos, I look forward to watching you every morning when I have breakfast. Keep up the great work!

[@susanskinner8855]

Composting done correctly does not smell. Remember you are only adding dried/dead/freshly cut plant material or vegetable peelings, coffee, etc. (I know you know that ☺️) It requires work as does all garden chores !! But it adds back to your hard pan and will make it so much healthier! I know you guys work really hard and have done so much, adding the composting will be the icing on the cake. But starting a composting pile early on is like planting trees early - you gain the benefits immediately. You guys have such an influence to so many, you will be helping them learn in such an informative way and help reduce landfill.

[@twobluestripes]

So well said! I agree. My favorite composting videos are by Charles Dowding. He is doing it on a large scale at his garden, and covers plenty of land, but I imagine he started small and Laura and Aaron could too!

[@jelatinosa]

100% agree. I would feel so guilty sending as much to landfill as they do. They could compost just a small percentage of that and it would make a huge difference.

[@leslieollerhead1114]

If you people have been following you would know they have plans on the new property for composting. They will post whenever they get to it. You definitely do not sound likes fans of this channel.

[@susanskinner8855]

Absolutely a BIG fan of this channel. Most KZbinrs look for feedback from followers. I am a big gardener as well and know the value of compost - why buy it when you could make your own?

[@jelatinosa]

@@leslieollerhead1114 🙄 we have the #1 fan gatekeeping over here everybody! Watch out! 🙄🙄🙄

[@theschneiderfamily8308]

Two tips on the squirrels that I’ve used and seems to work on my end. Wherever my bulbs are planted, I built a squirrel feeder across the way on the other side of the house where I have the garden. My bird feeders and squirrel feeders are away from my bulbs. It keeps the squirrels away from my bulbs and interested in where there is already food provided for them. I also will shake pepper flakes and garlic powder over the freshly planted bulbs as well which seems to keep them away. Hope these tips help. Don’t give up, keep trying. 🥰🥰🥰

[@mitzi605]

Composting is such a part of gardening. I love having leftovers from the garden. It isn't meant to be complicated. You decide how complicated and labor intensive you want it to be. I have used my piles as the lazy way and the most cost effective way to solve garden waste.

[@rebeccascarlett5004]

I love watching Benjamin help you in your gardens. He is going to be a gardener for sure!

[@cathyellingsworth8300]

I think you adding extra water to your transplants, especially in the harsh climate this year has definitely given your plants an extra plus to survive. Whoever back stabbed you in regards to the quail eggs should be flogged. Just take to heart we all really love you and are cheering for you every step of the way!

[@teresamcdaniel2121]

Right down the line you did the right thing for those poor quail. It's a shame that some gutless wonder felt they had to turn you in. Your ability to stay positive is commendable friend ❤️

[@amynazza]

FYI: jalapeno heat is in its ribs and seeds, but especially the seeds. To turn down the heat of your cowboy candy, you can remove the seeds. You'll still get tons of flavor but a lot less heat.

[@mindyrutkowski3124]

Awwwww Laura your heart is so big and we ALL know your intentions were to help the babies!!!! So sorry 😭
