How Much Do I Spend on My Garden? 🌿// Garden Answer

[@chucksuter6551]

Laura and Aaron have never complained about posting daily once! They also have never put out a poor quality video. these are people who are truly committed to their audience and do it from their heart. so many other youtubers make a scene about so much as posting twice a week and their quality isn't even great. we're blessed to have garden answer!

[@InverseDream]

Agreed!

[@BJ-hb4pc]

I can totally relate to your comment!

[@rebeccastinchcomb6449]

God placed all the living plants and creatures for our enjoyment! Enjoy:) It was succulents that got me going and we rescue Chihuahua's!

[@jacklynguz]

I've found that this channel has given me a new interest in gardening and the gardener has has such a peaceful attitude. I want to start gardening now. I live in an upstairs apartment with no outdoor space but geez, I want a garden!

[@PolynesianPrincessa]

Not weird, nature in general uplifts us as humans so makes sense!

[@HowsItGrowing]

YES! I especially love you addressing the “not worth it” it is SO worth it. Worth it to you, your little boy, and worth it for me to see too. You bring us joy and inspiration. Hand me a broom and give me 30 seconds to knock off the webs. 😂 Someone that lives near me actually has the gall to make snarky remarks right to me “still planting?” “At it still?” Yes and yes. Grumpy anonymous is having a meeting tonight. 😂

[@lovetodecorate7568]

How’s It Growing? I just swept webs away around my front door/storm door area then cleaned the glass on the storm door, entry window and porch light. It took a whopping 15 minutes, if that😀

[@aflanagan13]

I get those remarks also 😂 I’m sure my neighbors think I’m crazy, I’m out in the yard every chance I get. But I don’t mind 😇

[@marilynruggeberg]

I don't get snarky remarks from my neighbors. One of my neighbors is actually a Master Gardener.🥰. My husband was complaining about some small metal corner Border fences I needed his help to install when she came over and Complimented us on them. 🥰. More of the Neighborhood is upping their game including me. Amazing what a Master Gardener can do for a Neighborhood 🥰🥰😊

[@jmac4313]

When I drive up to my house, I'm like "ohh, so pretty". I take pride and many of my neighbors stop by to chat and compliment. I've been lucky to never get a snarky comment. I think a beautiful garden, no matter the size, brings joy to most.

[@melness6621]

Just jealous

[@marcvac]

Thank you for putting this and all of your other videos. I especially liked how gracefully you answered even the less positively comments. I love how much I learn by watching your videos and I also recommend it to my friends and family whenever they have questions. Keep up the great work.

This channel is my absolute favourite! 💛💚💙💜🧡❤️Your garden (and entire property) is stunning , but it is not just about the look. Your professional approach and impeccable taste , the way you deliver the information, your creative ideas, personality, your beautiful family, the parent’s garden centre, the cats... I can go on.. it all creates the atmosphere of wonderland around you. Every video gives me the vibe of soft , calming energy, the feel of the balance, beauty and harmony along with very helpful tips and inspirational ideas. And I know from experience what a hard work is behind of what we see on the screen... Thank you Laura and Aaron and way to go! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 P.S. I see the piano on your background , may be in the winter with no work to do outside you could include your performance in the videos sometime. 🎹🎶🎶You had one posted,it was lovely!

I like these "answer" videos. It makes the name Garden ANSWER, work. 😃

[@jucjuc314]

Garden Answer is the only KZbin channel where I like to read the comments, they are so positive! 😊

[@Sarah-xg1vd]

I think most people understand that your in a unique position. You have a good portion of land, your job is to garden and do projects, your parents own a local nursery, and all your water and irrigation comes from a well so your not paying city prices to irrigate your large yard. Not to mention plant companies sponsor you and send plants (and maybe money). Don’t feel bad Laura and Aaron!

[@Bamboo4U2]

Most of us would kill for her situation: planting for a living, not having a huge irrigation cost and having companies send you plants for free. I wholeheartedly agree.

[@adrianguerra8082]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH as a aspiring 12 year old gardener your such an inspiration!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tonyaingham8751]

Laura is a good role model as she will post her fails, failures as well as the successes. But most importantly she explains why she does what she does and gives tips on doing the same project but for different situations. And her viewers are very kind, thoughtful and are willing to share anything in the comments. Gardener and gardens are well worth the effort of getting to know. Have fun.

[@chamelor]

Never too late but i wish i was like that at 12. I grew up in a boarding school and didnt stay home most of the time so got to get the feel of nature/plants only at 23 after finally coming home. Blessed!

[@birchmoonfarm101]

OMG I have asked myself how much does she spend, but never thought to ask. Because of your videos, I feel way more confident when going to a nursery and how to care for my plants. Thank you so much!

[@jansmith9922]

My Grandmother made my parents an acorn wreath about 30 plus years ago and it still looks beautiful. They hang it in the fall & for Christmas then store it in a box with tissue paper & store it in an indoor closet. So if you have an acorn tree (like my Grand mother did) you can try another type nut...even an almond nut if you are in California they may be cheaper then buying walnut. She also made them a very large pine cone wreath around that same time frame. Look around your area to find natural material for free..even if you have to ask your neighbors for their tree material. This time of year most grocery stores sell whole nuts with shell for decoration/eating usually at a good price. Check walmart to see if you can do a combination of nuts = would look just as beautiful if not more to have a combination of nuts on a wreath. I think also, putting a beautiful say silk type ribbon for fall, then change it for Christmas, then put a different color on for January...you can really get your moneys worth out of one wreath for a few months of the year. If you cant afford a large wreath of material then start with a small wreath this year and then next do the same and then you can tie them together with pretty ribbon (with space in between them) and put two or three small wreaths hanging down with the beautiful ribbon tying them together. I have seen that in magazine at christmas time & it really does make a beautiful statement that is “different” then just one large wreath on a door. 🍁🍂🍁

[@sallyannc3176]

By 'acorn tree' I presume you realise acorns grow on Oak trees?! ;)

[@Mommajozy1]

Did you glue it together? I am working on a walnut wreath like Laura's, and am drilling and wiring each nut!!

[@katiegray14]

Whoa! Aaron just posted today that you’re videoing indoors today. Fast turnaround!! We love Garden Answer 💛

[@christinalw19]

Great informative video, telling your secrets. Your friendly, natural style in communicating is very much appreciated. I love that about KZbin- people are real. Honestly, Laura, you are not making me go to the nursery every week, sometimes every day, and spend all my money on plants, tools, fertilizer, pots, soil, compost, hummingbird feeders, tomato cages, etc. I am guilty all by myself, but your inspiring videos might be influencing me. 😊🙏🏼❤️

[@kathyguenther5866]

Thanks for sharing with us Laura...... My grandson loves to wave bye to you at the end of the videos. Loved Benjamin and all his drool... it happens. Please please keep him and Aaron in your videos and maybe Mom once in awhile we have fallen in love with you guys and even in the winter time you bring some sunshine to our lives....Maybe a video on your greenhouse this fall and everything you keep there would be nice. Happy fall!!!!! Love from Minnesota

[@junesmart7352]

I DO know how much I spend on my gardens because I keep amazing records, including what succeeds, what fails, etc. BUT... you are right about investing in a hobby we love, and gardening is so therapeutic. When I retired 6 years ago we sold our RV and decided to let me indulge myself in gardening instead of being on the road so much. I used to sit at campsites and fantasize about how I would design the vegetation for them! Staying home and gardening has been so beneficial, and we consider it an investment in the beauty of our 'golden years'! The intense research and learning, about plants AND design, is keeping my mind busy. SO: Relax and Keep on Gardening! We love that you share your gardens with us.

[@sheilaflory2541]

Loving the recap format. I completely missed the awesome hosta as well as Benjamin being a fountain. Your hair looks especially great today. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through all your projects!

​@@nataschabowers8258 I would love to do that too... but all my neighbours all shoot stray animals, and burn their rubbish and let it fly into our land, line our border fences with their old cars and tyres. :-( Not the types you want to go up to and have a convo with.

You inspire me to want to garden, and I need to remember that God has given me a different journey than you. But please keep producing these videos because people like me need all of the encouragement and inspiration that you and Aaron can give to us.

Thank you for all your hard work in planning, filming and editing. If you had to film less once in a while I forgive you! Had a couple of ideas - You could share a video of pics sent in from all your followers, showing their success's or failures? What is best way to share them with you? (Instagram?Pinterest?) - Could also give a questions/answer video that way. Also, I would sit and watch the sunset, sunrise or light snowfall over your beautiful gardens for a twenty minute video with nature sounds or music, and that's it!!! Would that give you a bit of a break? Well, not really a break for Aaron!

I live in a zone 5b (North of the border...in Toronto, Canada), so I’m able to take many of your plant and gardening advice and apply it. I purchased supertunia vistas in bubblegum this year and wow did they perform for me. I took your advice, I fertilized weekly and made sure they were well watered in the high heat of our summer. I received so many compliments. Really hoping that next year we’ll get some of those new colours. Stay well and thank you for all your hard work.

[@barbmitchell6666]

Hello Laura and Aaron. I live in Minnesota and have been watching your videos since before you bought that house. I have learned so much from you over the years, and I always look for proven winners plants. I have 3 daughters that own business'and homes. I do all the planting and maintance for their shops and homes. This spring they dragged me to walmart to pick out plants. Such dismal pickings the girls were so disappointed and I knew they would be before we even got there. I took them to our 2 garden centers, had them each grab a trolley and we went through the greenhouses. Oh the fun we had. Each of them has their own taste that's for sure. We took our time and they all chose some very nice plants. At both places I was offered a job on the spot due to my knowledge of plants and what pair well together with similar water needs. Some from my own large garden and a lot from watching your videos. So thank you for that. ps I did not take a job. One lady and my daughter asked me why not and my answer was...my garden and my kids gardens and containers are fun for me, I don't want it to be work, she just smiled! One day you will be doing the same for your son.

[@natemk]

I don't think I've expressed how much I appreciate your videos. I've been watching consistently since starting my garden last year. I usually just pick through the bits that can apply to my garden but often find myself admiring your little paradise ^^ Thank you for the videos/help!

I was, for a time trying to plant everything you planted but my husband is a police officer and on his off days he does not want to spend them planting so I’ve had to regroup, but I still watch often for inspiration. We live near a beautiful and gigantic nursery called Green Acres and they have EVERYTHING!! I’m in Zone 9 so can’t plant everything you showcase but there are some. Thanks Laura!!

[@ksenijavojisavljevic2034]

About the cost question: people should not wonder because you are doing it proffesionaly and as a teacher. You offer just everything, so to cover any possible interest of the audience. Similary to what I do as a piano teacher. I buy all exam books, all the literature and so on, to cover all possible interests of students. Each student gets just a few things that they need. So the difference in cost from a proffesional person to a hobby person is incomparable. It is as you say- all life income goes back to the proffesion.

I really enjoy learning how to take care of plants, its still relatively new for me, saved up and bought a house just a year and half ago- Everything has been a steep learning curve! There are so many things I took for granted just being able to go- "Hmm, that's broken- better call the landlord!" And never working outside except on the few potted plants I kept on my patio. Already I've dug out beds, got a couple raised veggie beds, and now with a new fence in place I'm in the midst of planting and arranging real lush garden landscapes and mulching and stone edging- a Lot of projects going on, and its fun. You just get out there, do some work, make an improvement, and you feel satisfied. Love your channel, you have such a fun upbeat personality- you would do great on television, I really think I could see you on that home improvement channel! What I love most is how you take the time to explain everything, how far back you're pruning and Why, how much watering and drainage a plant needs, and all the aesthetic pairing plants, forming boundaries and landscapes, really great stuff. :)

Since I have have moved here in the last 3 yrs folks drive by slow to look at the flowers, I have elderly who drive their golfcart around to see the yard. You have helped me so much.

I love your honesty and frankness! You have such a sweet personality. I think we’d be good friends if we lived near each other. 😊 I love watching your channel!

[@amywilliamson9778]

Can’t wait to see more fairy gardens, small planters and your Christmas decor

[@yolandariverairby2904]

Your videos take me to a happy place, a place of peace and joy!

[@callibey1]

I love your videos! Even though we have 145 acres I can only do a few projects. I’m 73 and also have 12 horses. Since watching you I have pretty much switched to containers. Much easier on my back!

[@lynettedaniels1236]

You two do an amazing job. I love your videos and have watched for years. This summer is had some landscaping done and I have been trying to become a gardener. I have a long way to go. Hopefully next year will be better than this year and so on and so on. I love your honesty and enthusiasm. And Russell. I do love him.

[@bethz.5358]

Youre simply the best. Love your vibe. Peace and grace. Huge inspiration. Thanks for shining your light, girlie!

[@user-qt6mm9gg5w]

Laura I love every video you do! I have a request. Please show us how your cottage garden turned out when it grew in. I am planning on following your 'blueprint' for my own but would like to know what it looks like when the plants are more mature and grown in. Thanks.

[@fayott7761]

I love this addition to your videos. As a new subscriber I have learned so much from you. I have bought my first bag of Bio tone, learned a lot about companion plantings and color choices and really enjoyed seeing the love you have for your family and community. I have just gotten started on my forever home garden and loving every minute of it. God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@goofyj3869]

I'm glad to see you being honest with the monies spent and how we can adapt some for our homes with minimal monies. Realistically is awesome when you spoke.

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Love the recaps!! They are a great addition!!!! I am going to try making a walnut wreath - I need to replace a worn wreath! Today I spent most of cleaning up & bringing in my tender plants! We are supposed to have a freeze this weekend! Great tips & reminders in the Monday recaps!! 😃🍁🍂🌻🌹🌱🌿🌲🌳🌾💚🌿

[@stacylamb5607]

[@noragarcia252]

[@joyces.9021]

I appreciate your positivity and desire to help all is us try new things! Love your family!😊

[@brittywren2877]

I love your channel you and Aaron have inspired me to do so much in such a short amount of time. I just lost my sister and your videos have helped me so much. I hope ya'll do not stop anytime soon. Even if you have to start randomly fixing up strangers beds. LOL jk sort of. Bc I have actually had the urge on occasion. Ty for the inspiration, education, and joy you bring.

[@Mommajozy1]

Watched this today. (Sometimes I miss one) You mentioned your walnut wreath.... I absolutely LOVE that wreath!! When I watched you glue it all together, I was very inspired! I got some walnuts, and I started DRILLING a hole on the top on each side. Slipped a wire through, and twisted it. I am still working on it. Will be for a while, as, I will run out of nuts before it's done!! I hope it looks half as good as yours!! My front door is dark (Pumkin) orange, and cannot wait to see it finished!! Thanks for the inspiration !!! I watch you just about every day! Love you guys !!!!

[@jujui98]

These kinds of videos are amazing, love just hearing you comment about all sorts of stuff in the videos in a relaxed and casual atmosphere...like a club meeting :)

[@danielgray5669]

If you love the walnut wreath but are scared of squirrels, dab some peppermint or lavender essential oil onto the walnuts. As they heat in the sun, the fragrance will warm and get stronger, repelling rodents when they are most active. I do this on my pumpkins every year after washing them down with cleaning vinegar and windex. Nothing bites my pumpkins or gourds.

[@lilyannanewton2712]

I wondered how much you spend ,and yes you have inspired me ,I do one small project a week in my garden ,it's made such a difference in my garden and I enjoyed it,thks I look forward to your video and info

[@daviskathi1233]

I love all your videos,and it makes me so happy to see you,AAron and Benjamin doing and Enjoying all this.I'm 81 now and dh is 82 and we both still love to garden and do all the work ourselves except for mowing the lawn. All our neighbors love to see what's blooming in the yard or in the bay window which is filled with orchids and african violets.We're always being told we have the nicest yard in the neighborhood. We also get the comments that it is too much work which i always reply,"if you love what you do,it isn't work". Keep showing us what you all do and encouraging us all,we love you,and enjoy your you tube videos. Thanks so much for all you and aaron do for the community as well.

[@ritans23]

Laura you got an amazing garden. Your voice is too good. How many hours per day you spend to maintain such a beautiful garden. It's a paradise

[@shirleysenkler781]

I agree with how's it growing, it is so worth it. Love your videos, I'm learning so much from them. Between your videos and my ever growing collection of gardening books I'm having a ball. I'm one of the people that made a comment on squirrels due to an incident that happened when I was in my 20's. My father was working in Kentucky on a power plant and one of the guys on the jobsite sent us a huge box of grade A pecans. We had to store it in the garage and the squirrels thought they were in heaven, in a few weeks there were shells all over the place and a lot of fat squirrels.

[@lesleyharrison1513]

I love this lady and her videos, she explains things so well.

[@sherrydee7880]

Your videos let me dream of the future of having a lush & lavish garden/yard of my own some day! I learn so much by watching you. By far, I do think that the most time consuming & expensive part of getting the garden you love, is the tree removal process. Once the dead & diseased trees are gone...then the real work can begin!

[@trishanavarro4887]

When I first discovered your channel I wanted to do Everything! I quickly realized that wasn't going to happen. I get so much info from you & pretty much learn something new every day! TFS💚💚💚

[@sharonroof1213]

I appreciate you going thru questions from your videos. Makes me realize how many I watch 😊 Favorite vids: Landscaping ideas from beginning to end. I learn a lot & this spring I’ll put it to use. Thank you!

[@lisadawidziak4104]

I love the weekly overview videos! Thank you for all you, Aaron, and Benjamin do.

[@Loolie1953]

Your piano is beautiful! I remember you mentioned in a video that you dreamed of a baby grand. Do you play? If yes, we would love to hear you play. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@sallyhenry1716]

This is great, I already learned a couple of things I didn't catch before!😁
