Planting 12 Hydrangeas, Russian Sage & and Spice Baby Viburnum! 😍🌿🙌 (Long Version)

[@GardenAnswerHighlights]

Hey guys! This looks like a duplicate upload but it's actually more of an "uncut" version of the video for today. Nothing is sped up and there's no music. Hopefully you can let us know if you like longer versions like this where we don't speed anything up.

[@zamplify]

I LOVE longer versions with no speedup. I LOVE no horrible free music. We're not in a hurry!

[@maryannevarre1542]

I love it!!!!

[@alexishodgson7624]

​@@zamplifythey never have horrible music! Other creators do. But what?

[@angelashelton3798]

YES! Always longer. I have thought before in the shorter videos just don’t speed up! You know your fans can’t get enough! 😊

[@ncflowergirl1446]

I enjoy when they make it look like there’s many Laura’s working 😍 occasionally. My bad was there music 😂

[@auroraborealis3764]

I love the longer version because it’s at least 30 minutes long. I watch garden answer during my “me” time where I allow myself to drink coffee or tea and relax in the morning before the business of the day begins.

[@loriboyce942]

I know what you mean. 5am is my diet-coke-and-forget-I’m-a-mom time. 5am Video drops and I’m away from reality.

[@mjoyi4190]

Wait what!!! OK, I guess it would be called The editing is different in this video. I hope you see this so I can tell you that this is my absolute favorite. It seems so real and engaging. I love hearing the sounds of the machines and the tools being used and the rustling of the leaves!!! Just what a difference, love it. Sidenote, even though the music choices you have in the videos are always so nice. I really must say this is a really fun way to watch a video.

[@dawnbarnes8729]

I appreciate this version. It actually shows you that even though the power planter is a great way to dig a hole, it is still work! Also, it shows you how much biotone is being put into each hole. In the sped up version it looks like you give it just a sprinkle of fertilizer. Love also seeing your interactions with the kiddos while you work. ❤😊

[@Kittykaetzchen1]

Really like the longer version 😊❤

[@DrJeffrey]

Love the longer version❤ I do enjoy seeing the boys and the behind the scenes work that we don’t normally see without a speedy view! ❤🏡🌼🌿🌺

[@richardmccarley281]

I liked being able to hear Paul's voice.

[@robinstokes3602]

Love the longer video, but then I love all your videos. Your conversation with Samantha… Priceless

[@robinscheffert9407]

What a treat to have TWO videos in one day. I love both versions. I'll watch any and all videos you post. I so enjoy watching your garden grow and the additions of plants, trees, grass, stones paths, big rocks, the ponds and all the things. I've been watching since before Benjamin was born and have learned so much from you. You've given me knowledge on plants and trees and courage to get out there and just do it. Thank you for all you and your team do for all of us out here who are blessed to get to join your garden journey. You are a blessing!

[@judymckerrow6720]

I ALWAYS like seeing the good the bad and the ugly, it makes me feel better to know that sometimes other people have problems too. 🌺💚🙃

[@esthersnell2357]

Aaron & Paul work soooo well together! 💕

[@tawanajorden2990]

Love longer version

[@dawnsfields]

I like the longer version. I find it calming. The sped up thing sometimes makes me feel like I’m in a hurry.

[@stephducated18g]

Love this version. There is a peace that comes from listening to hust the sound from your surroundings

[@laraemitchell9064]

Bonus. Two versions, plus getting a look at what the boys are doing. I’m always in for a long version, but I like both of them. Everything is looking great!

[@donnawalker3910]

Love the longer version. I like hearing the sounds of activity and nature.

[@stephanieferguson5602]

I love love the long version!! ❤

[@lynl8897]

YES, love the long form. Like so many others, I watch your video with my coffee in the morning and the longer the better - but I understand a lot of people don't have a lot of time. Long form on this channel or the main channel is much appreciated!

[@arabm7699]

Yay, longer version and they are not sped up! Love it so much! Hope you do this for garden clean ups/ pruning,etc, too. Pretty please😊

[@zormier2002]

I love the longer versions without speeding stuff up!

[@martihurford]

I like both formats. The longer version is always helpful and if I don’t have the time I can watch the shorter version if available or I can increase the playback speed myself. Thanks for asking for input.

[@chochstek]

I love the longer form!

[@lorriplatt6864]

I love the longer version! Anyone that wants to skip ahead can do that, while those of us who enjoy watching longer can!

[@tsreiki]

That shady spot at 12.00 looks like a perfect spot for a bench seat 😊

[@jenniferhoy7544]

Your editor Taylor I believe, does a great job!! I love both the edited and a little more uncut version! 💕

[@Kat-Farrell]

I was thinking that having a longer version of you mass planting drifts would be helpful as a guide on how long it can take and show each step a bit more. I love the sped up versions too - all your videos are great as they serve different needs.

[@diananazaroff5266]

I like this version better. Although the music is nice, I like hearing the background noises going on. Also, I prefer seeing the video without the speeding up points. I caught more of what was going on. Thanks for asking us our opinion!

[@Brenda-fp5te]

This longer version is actually very good. Love seeing what the men are doing also. Very enjoyable.

[@pamwright619]

All in for the long versions! Love hearing the water in the background! Watched both, now to get into my garden!

[@FernieLaVernie]

I think having the long form videos on the highlights channel is great! (Honestly, the more GA videos, the merrier. I would watch both even if they're very similar 😂)

[@PippaRose1]

I've just watched the other version and now watching this one 😅 In bed, poorly. All you're videos cheer me up ❤

[@lindagardener855]

Hope you feel better soon🤒

[@lisecaron3488]

I do enjoy the longer version. Any time we can spend more time with the kids is a bonus.

[@sandrahershberger9520]

I'm ok with never hearing music again ! I want to hear what is going on around you in the garden , your world ! ... much more natural ... and yes the longer the better ! ☺💜

[@judyjerman5562]

I like this. I’m able to see more detail as to how the projects are completed and I can learn more about how to do similar projects in my own garden that way. Also, hearing the surrounding sounds is nice…more real.

[@dorisharris2906]

Love the longer version with no music, like hearing the birds and kids playing.

[@AprilRaine60]

I love the longer version because I could watch your channel all day! I'd love a drone shot in slow motion to see your garden from a birds eye view. It's so pretty. Can we get one soon?

[@bumblebee2798]

Douglas has come really come a long way!! Laura can pet him without worried about getting attacked !!!! lol. Great job Laura.

[@barbaratutorin]

I love longer versions with nothing sped up, and I would rather hear the ambient sounds than music. It is so much clearer to see what you are doing when it's not sped up.

[@lindamoore9341]

Just wanted to say thank you so much for giving me all my new knowledge and ideas about landscaping and plants! I’ve always loved plants, but my goodness since I’ve started watching you way back I have become obsessed 😂 I watch your show every morning and leave your channel on and that goes all day long while I’m busy doing other things 😂 Put my name on the top of the list if y’all ever run a lottery to where we pay you to come work in your garden for a day 😂😂 ❤ Thank you, Linda.

[@shylokigirl]

LONGER VERSION ALWAYS BETTER

[@BecilComel]

I love this longer version😊❤

[@kim-is9tq]

They need to publish a book on the evolution of their garden full of beautiful photography.. I would buy it!!

[@lisawhaley2676]

I like the longer, more uncut, less sped up versions.

[@Cherlann]

I do like a longer version but also like the music. Either way it’s good!

[@elainelandry1990]

I do love the longer version, but I'm retired, so I have all the time I need. I look forward to you every morning. I can't get out in the garden so much anymore, but I can still do succulents and planting seeds and transplants. I love, love, love Garden Answer!!!

[@risalangdon9883]

Ohhh, I appreciate longer videos. But really, it's whatever makes the most sense for you all. Might actually save on some editing time. ❤

[@peggy-ann1961]

I enjoy the videos either way, but it was nice to hear the verbal interchanges and hear the natural sounds as you all worked. Yes the auger sound was a bit much, but I just turned the volume down there. If I find something “ too long” to watch, I just skip forward. Besides, the longer we get to spend with all of you….the better!! Zone 3 Manitoba 🇨🇦👏🍁

[@norarodriguez12]

Now that you ask, I will always vote for the longer version ❤everytime I open youtube to watch your videos and see a 25+ minutes long videos, my face sparkles. 😊

[@susanlivingston6900]

I’ve watched both now. I do like the longer version. Thanks for asking.

[@elleb3]

Love the “uncut” version!!

[@pandasrose]

I really enjoyed the non sped up longer video! Thank you.

[@kimlux8766]

Love the longer version!! If they were an hour long, I’d watch! Now I’ll have to search out the “shorter” version so I can have the “re-cap”. 😊

[@helenchalker318]

I’m so glad to see you still have Douglas he’s such a beautiful cat.love your yard.❤

[@jltest5230]

Love the longer version. Makes me feel like I’m following behind you with the camera helping you make the video. 😂 lol also love the natural sounds around you. I also get my coffee in The mornings and look for Laura. Thanks for all you do

[@mrsta1267]

Well since you're asking lol I liked the audio (Aaron commenting on the water at the beginning), music and speeding up the tree trimming on your regular channel version. I like that this one is at regular pace (except the tree trim, I skipped through that). The beginning of both was a tad abrupt. It would have been nice to see that at the end with maybe a voice over explaining why it's being shown. It feels choppy.

[@cherrycoke7099]

wow a long version!? i LOVE THIS laura aaron and the editor thank you🔥

[@Argo53]

Definitely prefer a longer format - and without audio overlays, it seems more authentic somehow. Additional video overlays always welcome - extra pictures, name clarifications and Pulp Fiction clips always appreciated. (Last week's "Highlights" editing was absolutely brilliant Taylor.)

[@lindafromidaho2932]

Thank you for this long version! I really enjoyed it. Love not having things sped up!!!

[@tericamcginnis5848]

I prefer the speed up for auging not planting. Music has never made a difference. Only if it keeps from hearing Laura comments! 💚🐸💛🐸😎

[@oakhillhomesteader]

Feel free to post long version of any of your videos! We're here for it😁👏

[@mariankay6482]

I love the unrushed version. I like both. I don't mind the background sounds. It just means there is lots of growing and changing going on in the area. I think there is a place for both but I like a good and longer video. To me, it's better than the sped up 15 min videos. They are produced well, don't get me wrong, I just prefer being in on more of the process instead of it kind of feeling like you are trying to hurry us. Thanks for asking our opinion. You guys always do the very best that you can for us and I appreciate it, so much!

[@sc3pt1c4L]

Yay, we get to hear The Paul! I wish he would make his own channel to show us all his handyman skills, but for now I am happy that he is getting more centre stage.

[@suejones4589]

I love longer versions of anything you guys do!❤❤❤❤

[@yofranklin21]

This is so much better, and what I'd personally prefer seeing. In the other videos where everything is sped up it's like we spend more time watching them drive a tracker for 10 minutes and then a 3 second planting clip at the end. Do this more often.

[@maryinidaho5548]

Love the longer no music version better. Thanks.

[@cherylschumacher1832]

"long version" YES please...Love it!!

[@verabauman3017]

I like that you limbed up the birch trees!

[@lilygirl2719]

I LOVE the longer version with no music!!!

[@LindaGoDawgsGA]

I do like the music and speed up but maybe less. I love that you explain and give information but you do not spend the whole time talking as other gardeners. Just the right amount. I am so impressed at how you control the camera. PERFECT!

[@s.barlow7062]

Really demonstrates how organized you all are. ❤️

[@renabarnett2238]

I love it!! Gives me more time to really look at the plants that are in the frame!

[@dianequist835]

I'm sure it becomes difficult, Laura and Aaron, to make everyone happy all of the time, which is impossible to do with nearly 2 million subscribers and the high amount of viewers each day, 6 days a week. I applaud you for trying to please the majority when at all possible, but I mostly want you to please yourselves. Do what you both want to do. Its your channel/channels/business. Opperate your business your way. Answer, or dont answer questions that you are not prepared to answer. Regardless, there will "always" be someone unhappy. This is your legacy.

[@MelSr8]

Love this format.

[@GAnn53]

I will watch either, but I like the longer version best. 😊

[@r.h.4567]

Laura, have you ever considered planting an area of nothing but evergreens and pines? No deciduous no annuals or perennials just a low maintenance area. I think it would look beautiful seeing all the different tone on tone colors, textures and structures of different pines and evergreen species together.

[@Marriedtothat]

I loved the longer video!!

[@paulinemarks6207]

I love your content no matter what!❤❤❤. I feel Douglas is living his best life with you!

[@esterklerfors7965]

I love the long videos. The more Garden Answer - the better! 💚

[@clydeneclinger5888]

Longer versions are better. Thank you for all your work

[@thatwifechick608]

Ahahah I just realized if Paul/Bethany ever makes their own channels, they’d have such a good following to start!! The ripple effects of Garden Answer being such a wholesome thing

[@robingrunzweig1880]

love this long version.. it's like following you around all day, and wouldn't' that just be the best??? 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤

[@thelioness3305]

I LOVE LOVE the longer uncut!

[@evalindell2757]

Love the longer version! Have looked at both twice now! Nice to see more of what the guys do too. Hope to see more of this! 👌

[@stephanieenglert2014]

Honestly I just don’t know how you do it . Your flowers are so beautiful … .

[@heathernesbitt1309]

What a nice gift having two videos in one day. It was nice watching Paul and Aaron working together. I believe this is the first time I’ve heard Paul speaking in a video. He was always so mysterious because he never spoke and now he has broken the spell by speaking ☺️😆. the picket fence the two of them were removing, are the pickets made out of wood or vinyl? I just love that feature along with many many other beautiful features you have on display. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creation.

[@paulettefoster3157]

I like it! It's fun to hear more conversation!

[@karendoolin3113]

I'm with everyone else. Love the long version.

[@TonyaA7]

All those red flowers are so pretty together.. Your gardens are so lovely Laura.

[@aubnjones]

Whatever you want to do, we will watch 😂😂

[@stephanieenglert2014]

Been a fan since you were pregnant with Benjamin… thank you for all the info.. I talk to my husband about you and Aaron like I really know you two..

[@fridalindstrom1789]

LOVE this! The longer videos the better 😂❤And also love to see the kind of work the boys do 🥰

[@gaylerichards7409]

The hydrangeas are going to be beautiful! I love the Russian sage too.

[@CathyF-hw1jh]

Oh yes…they are beautiful

[@jacquelinegomez1529]

enjoy the longer version because I see the work involved in the planting. I do not need to have projects short.

[@gailburrus7575]

Love the long versions please!

[@missnicolemacy]

I like the long version minus the auger sound (Reminds me of the dentist)

[@donnapudwill9908]

I never miss your videos and have been watching since the very beginning. I think what you’re hearing here (and I agree) is mostly a preference for longer videos but I wouldn’t assume that means you shouldn’t speed some things up or use music. I personally like the music and I confess I sometimes get bored with video after video that is mostly planting. I really enjoy the other things you add like the upcoming plans or other projects or the family. Just one loyal viewer’s opinion. ❤

[@kathryngalajda3553]

I have a smaller tree with beautiful copper bark that should survive in your area as I am zone 6a but drop to -15C to -20C regularly in the winter. It’s a Paper bark maple, Acer Griseum, and the fall colour is a stunning orange.

[@lynettelewis5688]

I'm good with 20-30 minutes. I like the quiet without music sometimes also - would rather hear life going on (cats, wind in leaves, babies, construction)❤.

[@elisataleu5]

Garden Answer takes care with each project it handles, including the non-stellar moments. Each one adds its part to the overall pleasure I receive from the care and upkeep of all things: plants, cats, and life. Sign, a fan from the island of Guam. 😊
