I love your little ones being a part of your videos. What a sweet family you have! You are truly blessed!

[@wendymckee6627]

Yes. But they are not the focus of it. Like other do to make money. They are in them as they are there at that moment. It is just perfect ❤ we are honoured that they share these moments with us.

[@cckelly3950]

@@wendymckee6627 yes, I have been watching for several years and I am aware that they are not the main focus. Just commenting how sweet it is seeing them in the videos recently. I know what the focus is in Garden Answer ❤️

[@loloholmes2793]

​@@wendymckee6627 you must've forgotten how grotesque the "Mail Day" videos had become & why they stopped. Every box, from the fans of course, was for the kids & it got to the point where Aaron felt uncomfortable with the "generosity" Then there were the fans who thought Laura needed a GoFundMe for the Hartley, I guess they didn't realize how much money they were making off of their multiple channels....

[@BlackSwampSurvivor]

From northern Ohio - I appreciate the effort you put into your videography. You provide us with so many different camera angles - makes watching more interesting, though it must be a bit exhausting for you. Must take you so much more time to do a project, but your artistry is not wasted.

Laura tells it like it is…. “They’re just junk. I don’t like ‘em.” 😂😂. Mornings with Laura and the kids and cats and Aaron popping in. The best.

Woke up to rain and then got the notification GA has up a new video. Life is good!Edit: My grandmother always planted four o'clocks, in the evening we would sit on the back porch where it was cool after supper,and she had cleaned up the kitchen. The smell of those flowers brings back those memories. I plant them to this day in red and yellow. Now I'm old and sit on the back patio after cleaning up the supper dishes, having a cup of coffee,thinking of granny,and wondering where has the time gone!

In Northern California we had that 5 or 6 yr drought and then got all that rain and snow in the mts. during winter and into the s;ring with a late start to summer. You should see our town now. The trees are BEAUTIFUL! I did not realize how bad they looked until I see them now- glorious. They are full and green except some are so covered with buds they look like they are full of yellowish green flowers. It’s absolutely amazing. I’m sure my grandson is tired of hearing me say, ‘look at that beautiful tree- oh look at that one “. They amaze me every time I drive anywhere.

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

I like the example that you used with the arbs needing more water and adding more irrigation. I think this is a good example of how gardeners must figure things out. Gardening is an art and a science! We do have to troubleshoot many times and the answers are not always clear. It's encouraging to know that other gardeners are all figuring things out together and sharing the knowledge with each other. Thanks for sharing your experience with us so we can all learn!! PS--I loved it when Samantha took a bite of the berry. I just hope she is willing to try it again when the berry is ripe and that doesn't deter her from trying new things!!

Huge thank you for not putting music at the beginning. It was SO much more relaxing and enjoyable to me to just hear the nature sounds. I like when you speak, too, but the loud music is painful with my hearing problems and this was just lovely to hear the birds and other sounds instead! 😊

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

P. S. Terrible problems here with Himalayan blackberries so I know yours is different and much better, but I can’t help but wonder if they might still try to grow into your existing plants in that location? At least they are thornless, unlike the wicked thorns on the Himalayan blackberries, so they will be easier to control.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I wouldn’t worry about pruning the tomatoes. We grew lots of them on our farm and we tied them up but never pruned and had great success. I think the perfect pruning of the lower leaves is really only helpful if you are worried about airflow for diseases, in which case you can plant them farther apart, or perhaps, at the end of the season to top them and cut off any small fruit that won’t have time to ripen so the fruit you leave have a slightly better chance. Honestly, I think this is only feasible if you have a small garden or a lot of help and time and I don’t think it makes a huge difference. Plus you then have the risk of burning the fruit and the leaves help it make energy. Just my 2 cents, of course.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Lol about Samantha’s reaction to the blackberry!😀. I like them tart where I can practically taste the vitamin C, but then I have eaten lemons all my life. 😀
