The noise is not near as bad as you think. It's not distracting at all.

[@ayina111]

It is distracting to her. She used microphone so we almost didn't hear it. But for her I bet it was LOUD, and it is really distracting, some (including me) can't think clearly when loud noise in the background

[@robertadoughty1392]

I was wondering if I was in need of a hearing aid, as all I ever hear is Laura. I thought maybe I was so focused on what she was teaching me I just didn't notice. You are right. I don't hear it as much as she does.

[@leeluv96]

@@ayina111 Maybe it's distracting to her, but in a few recent videos she stated the the sounds are not as bad as she thought they would be and that they don't really bother her. In this video she apologized to the viewers for the noise to which this comment thread is assuring her that we as viewers can barely hear the sounds.

Roses were my favorite and they bring so much joy to me. Thank you Laura for everything that you do...such an amazing woman, so many talents and skills. I love your family - Aaron and cute Benjamin.

Laura, what you call “oversleep “ is not. You have a precious being that is growing inside you and mother nature is trying to tell you to get your rest. That is way more important than viewers listening to a very small amount of noise, in fact until you mentioned it, I did not even notice since I’m concentrating on what you are saying!

Just realise how long i have been followed you. Watching Ahao grow up, Dawang be fatten up and your baking skill level up over years has been one of my great joys.

[@CookiesAndCosmos]

Driving a tractor with a fork lift? You go girl! One of the things I love about you is how you use all of the tools and such. In one of the first videos I watched of you, you made a wooden planter on wheels (May 10, 2015). I have always had my husband or sons do that kind of work, but you were so comfortable using the tools, it made me think I could use them too! A few weeks ago I pulled out a skill saw and...a story inspired by you follows: We moved into a "new to us" house several years ago. There were heating vents close by the kitchen, but none right in it. In the winter time I would stand with stocking feet in a certain place by the picture window and the floor would get warm. I was sure there was a heating vent that hadn't been cut open when the house was built. This year we got air conditioning and the kitchen wasn't cooling off like the rest of the house. I wanted to take advantage of our cool air, but opening up the vent just wasn't happening. (No one really knew for sure if there was a vent!) One day when I was home alone, I pulled out the skill saw and cut an X in the floor (yes, a skill saw - it's all we had to use - on a kitchen floor!) where I had previously marked the warm spot on the floor. (When I told my husband on the phone that I had cut a hole in the floor he said, "Oh, no." 😂 I knew I had done a fabulous job though, and I was really proud of myself! 😀) Cool air started blowing through the cuts! I made a few more cuts and knocked out the extra pieces with a hammer. My son cleaned up the edges with a borrowed reciprocating saw (he has done construction), I bought a beautiful vent cover and we are enjoying our cool kitchen! I don't know if I would have tried it without being inspired by you! This year I watched you grind a pathway for the irrigation tubing on the pads for your driveway containers and over the years I have watched you do, oh, SO many other projects. You have always inspired me with gardening. Your influence reaches beyond my yard and into my personal growth! ❤️ Thanks to your wonderful team and for doing what you do and being who you are! ❤️

[@pinkfrangipani5131]

That is such a lovely sentiment. Good on you for taking the initiative.

[@jessican2581]

Oh my goodness, I was filled with such excitement and awe seeing that massive veggie haul. I can't imagine how proud and accomplished you feel. They all look delicious, congrats!

[@marvinhueske3203]

Potato harvesting reminds me of my childhood when my grandparents would use mules to plow their large garden. The adults would dig the potatoes and we would gather them and place them in burlap bags. Potatoes were stored under the houses in those days where it was cool, dark and full of spider webs.

[@AuntyZelda]

Marvin Hueske I had the same experiences and my grandparents also kept their potatoes in a box in their dirt floored basement, where all the spiders and camel crickets just loved to congregate!!!

[@11stephano]

Hi Laura! Winter video idea: can you walk us through how you plan your crops for the next growing season? It's taken 2 years of watching you but I really want to start a vegetable garden! Can you share your tips on timing (spring vs summer vs fall crops), how to have something continuously growing, succession planting, your ratio on vegetables that are "one and done" vs. continuous harvesting plants, which plants should/shouldn't be placed beside each other, etc... I live in a zone 5/6 as well, and I love how quick your turnaround times are for videos because it's a reminder on what i should be doing in my own garden at that time!

[@laurenwellman2516]

Even though I don’t plant crops like potatoes and onions, your videos are so informative and fun to watch. I always learn something like why you should cover your potatoes. Ever notice that they do that at the grocery store late in the day? I wonder if it’s for the same reasons about light🤔. When I was very little we lived next to a potato farm. After harvest, the farmer would let the neighbors come in and pick up anything the machines missed for us to keep. I remember helping my Mom. 😊

Leaving the potatoes in longer makes the skin on the potatoe mature. The farmers top kill the potatoes so the skin will firm up and not bruse when they are harvesting them and they store better.

[@Sun-Soul]

Oh wow! I had no idea! Good to know! 😊

[@themamabearlife3339]

What do you mean by "top kill"? Does that just mean they cut off the plant on top and let the potatoes sit in the ground for awhile like that?

[@lindadaley7469]

@@themamabearlife3339 No. They spray the tops of the potatoes to stop them from growing and make them die down to almost nothing. Otherwise the potatoe continues to try and produce more tops and won't firm up their skin.

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

@@cindybonem494 It's a nice thought but I already run two businesses so don't feel up for taking on a third haha. It would need to be a garden centre with huge distribution space getting products shipped over in the thousands to make it worth it. It's possibly not at all cost effective due to the weight. It'd be nice to have a comparable organic range locally made to keep it affordable and the footprint down.

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

@@MC-ko2mx oh absolutely. She did a layer of leaves and blood/bone meal in winter too which I'm sure helped also. I top dress with compost, chicken manure pellets and worm castings from two wormaries, it would just be nice to have something similar to the bio tone, plant tone, rose tone etc that's all from one company, organic and does a good job. I've been slowly digging up a lawn and adding in flower and veg beds so the extra boost to our clay soil would be useful. I'll have to do some more research. Now I've we could just have a bit of warm weather over here that would be wonderful :)

Your harvest..is fantastic!! I grew up on a farm, and my Mom LOVED to garden. My Grandmother, her mother had beautiful gardens too..she had flowers and many vegetables in hers, with a grapevine, as kids we loved. My Mom was a country style cook and Baker, therefore our garden was abundant with green beans, green onions, potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, I thinks she had butternut squash, radishes and carrots. My Grandma had all of those but also strawberry rhubarb, rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries, watermelons, and pumpkins. Neither women ever cooked with garlic, since they didnt like it (??!!-I still cant believe). Our job as kids, to help weed, and watch for potato bugs and tomato worms..those green buggers with the horn. which would eat the leaves and crop. Great childhood memories, with Mom. We used a pitchfork to pull up the potatoes..worked fantastic.

Thanks, Laura, I loved watching you harvest these gorgeous edibles! I can't have such gardens where I'm living, so I guess I'm sort of a garden voyeur. But one of the best events on a trip to England, was watching a friend dig up potatoes. SURPRISE! At sunset today, Fri, begins an ancient Celtic celebration of Lughansadh (LOO hansa) or Lammas on Aug first that honors the first harvest. It marks the very first hint of diminishing sunlight and gratitude for Earth's loving care for seeds we planted in Spring. The big harvest festival of Samhain is what we celebrate as Halloween. Lots of wonderful times for your arrangements of Easter egg eggplants and dried flowers!!

She said she will be giving about half of it away to family and friends.

Canning my tomatoes in small batches: Core them Blanch for 45 seconds in boiling water Plunge into ice bath Peel and quarter Into sterilized jars Add - a tablespoon of “Real Lemon” lemon juice, a teaspoon of salt and fresh basil leaves. Sterilize in hot water bath Listen for those very satisfying “POPs” that my daughter says sounds like “Victory!” Done! Done!

I must plant my onions too deep because they never stick up out of the ground like yours and they aren't that big. What's the secret on planting depth? Talk about inspiration!!! Oh my gosh I love this video ♥ Big plans for next year!!!

Shout out to your video editor! They are very good at what they do! Love your videos, watch them every morning!

[@liletteautrey8481]

It is a pleasure to watch you harvesting your produce that you planted with so much love. You look so happy doing it

[@freesia.m7600]

Lets talk about that climbing roses! I cant't believe it has grown so much since the last time you planted it! was it David Austin roses?

[@MC-ko2mx]

I believe it's a Heirloom Rose Colette. Isn't it just gorgeous?

[@freesia.m7600]

@@MC-ko2mx Thank you! Its so gorgeous!

I was so glad when you caught the green potato and pointed out they are dangerous...I was worried for a second when I saw them come out of the ground and you hadn’t said anything 🤪🤗

[@sherryo.6600]

What a fabulous harvest!! You handled the tractor like a pro...and I noticed that Benjamin got to drive it along with you. He must have been thrilled with that! Your videos are so inspiring and helpful. Thanks for all you guys do. Don't worry about the background noises it's really not noticeable either because we're so happy to see your video or your microphone doesn't pick it up much. You need to sleep whenever you feel like it with your pregnancy. Baby first. 💖

Vegetable garden? It looks like my idea of paradise with the arbor of roses framing the weeping willow over your shoulder in the softer early morning light 0:39 and the roses at 11:46. What a win win to combine beauty with practicality-nourishing soul and body. 🍓 Happy harvesting! 🍓🧅🥔

[@kimeverhart6253]

You must have the GREENEST thumb ever!! Everything always looks so lush and beautiful!!

[@allysonh6410]

[@lynn682]

Such a wonderful harvest! I'm motivated to do my potatoes and onions differently next year!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura! WOW! You got a great harvest of potatoes and onions. Your family and friends will enjoy what you give them. That is so nice, and sweet, that you share what you can. You handled that tractor like a pro! I knew you would! I knew there would be a point where Benjamin couldn't keep up with strawberries. LOL! Bless his heart! I'm sure he will enjoy the jam! I hope you do a video and recipe for the jam. Would also love to see what recipes you use the red cabbage in. Thank you so much for sharing! Oh, and don't worry about the background noises. They're not bad enough to distract from what you're saying.

My dear bless your heart, you certainly are allowed to sleep in as much as you need, what a wonderful video, you have just really inspired me more than you can imagine and I'm so looking forward to trying my hand at onions and potatoes this next season along with more strawberries 🌿🍓🌿
