I don’t believe I have ever enjoyed watching another person’s American Dream take form. Thank you all for sharing with the world!!!!

[@joshuam0289]

By far my favorite gardening channel! Not only are you teaching us the ins and outs of gardening, but you show us the importance of family ❤😊

[@sheiladouglas5258]

You know Russell is a KZbin star! He is the cutest little guy! Love the spring pots with all the color. They are going to be gorgeous. Love, love, love, that Benjamin and Samantha get to help cook. They are just adorable. They will know how to do everything when they grow up. Just precious enjoying their gummies. You are the best!! Have an awesome day!❤

[@SisterShirley]

@sheiladouglad5258 Have you seen the Russell and Cheddar t-shirts and such in Garden Answer store? They are so cute!

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

I didn't know Laura had T. shirts With pictures of the 2 cats.

[@SisterShirley]

@@benjaminclingaman7551 Yes, not only t-shirts also long sleeved shirt Sweatshirts And the new kneeling pads

[@elainemartin795]

That Russell isn’t he just the cutest🥰what a ham🤣

[@kellylaliberte548]

I'm going to have to check out the store. I think they also need a shirt that says "It's so pretty!"

[@verastocker2743]

Your containers are gorgeous. I love that you involve Benjamin and Samantha in cooking and baking. They will remember those precious times with you as they grow up. My kids are in their late twenties but every year we still get to together for Christmas cookie baking. As little kids, they were always in the kitchen with me.

[@kebergify]

Seeing Benjamin & Samantha Grace gobble up the gummy treats was a perfect ending to the video. The 4 pots were gorgeous as well and I can't wait to see the bulbs bloom and peek out from the hellebores!

[@user-kg7qr4ip5p]

Love. Love all your u tube times. You are amazing. I learn so much about plants from you. You are so sweet. Your mother and sister are great gals too!!!♥️👏😂

[@user-it4up2up1b]

Love how cheddar (?) Is always in the shots!...gorgeous pots ! Love ❤️ them.x

[@GardenerPhyl]

This video is such a treat! You with your sister and Mom. Gorgeous spring flowers in your fantastic huge new containers. A Cheddar closeup, and homemade goodies with the wonderful Benjamin & Samantha. So good for the soul at the tail end of February. Love it all! 🥰

[@kathycamasso6672]

And an HOLA from Aaron!

[@clemqueens1943]

Oh Laura, your artistry flows effortlessly. Those pots are stunning! Your relationship with your mom and sister is a testament of the love your parents instilled in you. Your videos are so inspirational in so many ways…Thank you!

[@susanvonrauensteinbreuls6058]

Beautiful containers. Just love Russel coming in to say a closeup hi so sweet. mmm and kids enjoying those gummies priceless .

[@stephanieblume5448]

Laura, in my opinion, you just created your own mini NW Flower & Garden Show in those 4 beautifully planted pots!! They're gorgeous! 🪴

[@tracyanderson366]

Russell is just the coolest cat! Coming in there for his closeup like the KZbin star he is lol!! Love how the spring containers turned out - they are going to be gorgeous as they fill out just a bit!

[@Birdhouselady]

I really liked how you faded in and out planting the pots. You didn't use fast speed. Makes for a better video. Thanks to the editor

[@sp9600]

Amen sister. The fast speed makes me anxious!

Must be so nice to get your plants from mama's nursery. If I could get free flowers I would probably stroke out doing so much planting.

[@JanetRatch0108]

The containers are beautiful. Always enjoy the videos that include the hubby, kiddos, your mom, and Allison.

[@normarideout62]

And the kitties 🐈‍⬛

[@acerone10]

Who's Allison? The sister is Monika.

[@cynthialagraff4144]

Loved seeing Russell overseeing your new plantings. He’s such a faithful companion over these years. 😛

[@elenaflores-blanco5077]

Taught 3 yr olds Sunday School for 25 yrs with untold numbers of crafts and activities. NEVER in that time have I witnessed a preschooler with motor skills like Sam. Absolutely unbelievable, highly prized!

[@BetterMe981]

Hm… maybe each generation gets better? My granddaughter is three and has been able to do stuff like this, very fine motor skills, since she was two. Her baby sister just turned 9 months and her motor skills are very advanced for her age, so her doctors say. I’m guessing it’s regular by now.

[@kristibrooks967]

Tell Monica her "beach girl" waves are looking gorgeous 😊

[@wandabrown508]

In this beautiful, fun video, my favorite part was Russell, with his big feet, looking straight into the camera. Aaron hauling in the soil on the tractor was so heroic! I was inspired by the speeded teamwork of Laura & Aaron filling the giant pots with soil, a living analogy for Garden Answer.

[@amoijoy573]

This video is a treat on so many levels. “It has red in it” the kids are also delicious! Thank you Laura.

[@shirleysenkler781]

Love how you involve the kids. I think they love the treats even more because they helped. Also, the pots are gorgeous. You've gotten me hooked on hellebores.

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

What a wonderful treat today! Beautiful containers and seeing the kids make and eat healthy snacks!!

[@fraukeg.facchini2691]

The containers turned out beautifully with the Arctic fire dogwoods as centerpieces and the Gummi bears and worms were so much fun to see from making them with the kids to eating them at the pond. ❤😂❤!

[@lyonhawaii]

It was so good to see Susan, Monica, and you, Laura; having such a good time together. I love the yellow twig dogwoods with the flowers you picked out. The combination somehow reminds me of a beautiful gold frame with a painting of bright colors! 😊. So beautiful! The gummy recipe at the end sounds so good. I am going to have to try it with my grandkids! I didn't have any flour to make the dried flower heart ornaments so am using the air dried clay. I ordered dried flowers you suggested online. ( I had some dried flowers from our garden but after all these months in the garage they looked kind of questionable! ) Just waiting for the ornaments to dry so I can decorate them. I certainly appreciate everything you do on this show!

[@Ibis333]

I've never been much of a fan of the yellow twig dogwoods and when Laura picked them for these containers, I wasn't feeling enthusiastic. But then voilà. * chef's kiss * . Your metaphor is spot on.

[@darleneoldakowski4966]

Russell .... "I'm ready for my close-up" 😂❤

[@sheilagilleland4312]

I’ll have to make them for my grand babies! How fun.

[@wynorawishum5860]

The containers are so pretty. The kids are so lucky to have parents like you. The gummies look delicious. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@christiemay4444]

Your children are so much fun to watch! Their excitement is so contagious! The cement containers are beautiful! Hellebores are one of my very favorite flowers❤ I worked at the Village Green in Cottage Grove for years, and our gardens were renowned. We had so many Hellebores. We loved to float them in shallow vases. They were so beautiful! As always, your posts always bring big smiles!❤❤❤

[@laraemitchell9064]

I find it incredible to realize - before watching your channel a few years ago - I didn’t even know what a hellebore was. These are so beautiful. And there is such a variety to choose from. How fun to have these large containers! I still love your pallet walkway! It looks so nice winding through. Also fun to go to the garden center and out to coffee with you girls!!! 👍💚💚💚

[@bobbinoethlich5281]

Agreed I had not heard of hellebores before Laura!! I need to see if they grow in Austin TX!!

[@cindylebeau7548]

Oh my gosh this video was sooo good on multiple levels 🥰 Always love the trip to see your mom and then those containers! The beauty of the final product…gorgeous. And then the view when you were standing at the corner containers that looked out to the Hartley and beyond. Oh my!! The sun, the garden landscape….. I’m so jealous. Spring is most definitely there 🪻🌞 And then last but not least, the gummy creations with your kiddos. So great,Laura. Thank you ❤

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️

[@tamimartine8441]

My favorite thing about the pots is the yellow twig dogwood. Designer genius!

[@SleepyArcticBirds-ft4lb]

Monica’s hair looks gorgeous‼️

[@samandpat1]

The area in the middle of the pots would be lovely with a low large bowl type fountain. It would Keep the area open but with an atmosphere ☘️

[@elizabethmccarthy1752]

I completely agree with your mum on the strawberry pots. I've had the conventional ones before and they are a pain to plant in and maintain. I'd buy these new style ones in a heartbeat and they look so pretty too!

[@agnieszkapeppermint6568]

Absolutely beautiful spring pots! And Russell😻he is a STAR!

[@charlottea.cavatica8423]

I may have come up with your plant selections but never would have thought of using yellow twig as centerpiece. Brilliant!

[@constantineangelgutierrez1851]

Watching them kids is pure joy. They are so adorable 🎉🎉🎉

[@ruthjohnson6369]

Love the variety of plants! Russell wants to help momma plant those beautiful plants.

Hello Russell...you camera hog!!! Love the pots. Your videos are such a daily treat for me. Thanks for all the hard work and sharing your lovely garden with us.

Benjamin is so tall now and Samantha Grace so cute with bows in her hair!!! Both so adorable and look like scientists making their gummies treats !!! 💙🤴🏻💜👸gummies bears 🌈

[@debbigal4423]

What a great video this morning. Who could ask for more? Beautiful planters put together for a burst of color and the feeling of spring soon to come and wholesome treat making with your adorable little kids 💗. Thank you for sharing the gummy recipes, going to give them a whirl once I get some molds. I think my granddaughters will love them.

[@lotusflowerkumudini9574]

As always, the containers are beautiful and the treat of watching you spend time with the children while making a nice treat was a blessing!

[@heidiharrison4764]

[@TracyGlynn-fb3bd]

Susan is 100% the enabler of all things. 😂 Love when your mom and sister join in on your gardening adventures.

[@kathy8832]

Good morning! Wish they had this kind of recipes when my kids were young. What a fun project. And those planters, how pretty!!

[@anne-9374]

I know you said you want the pots to match but you may want to consider doing 2 different pots depending on exposure. You could have some of the same plants in all of them but then different plants in the same colour scheme that are adapted to the amount of sun being received. You could still the overall same effect and colours but they’d be better adapted to their location. Thanks for all the work and inspiration - even if you tend to “contaminate” and create “needs” for us! 😂

[@susiethomas6032]

Laura, such a beautiful fresh clean looking combination in the four pots. I’m really happy about pot planting because that’s how I mainly garden, due too a very enthusiastic dog 🐕 who like to garden with me 🫣😖 What I’m really going to look forward to is seeing what you put in the 4 pots for the different growing and light conditions. Love seeing the plants at the nursery along with your family. I’ve just started some seeds going here in the UK 🇬🇧. I don’t have grow lights, just a piece of cardboard with tinfoil (aluminium foil)covering it, so it reflects the light from the window (not hot sun ☀️ we’d be so lucky to get any sun 🥶). Love seeing the kids cooking and other fun activities with you, so cute 🥰 P.S. I’m going to make the salt dough ornaments with dried flower petals that I dried for my sisters wedding last year, a little gift for her ❤

[@lincasteel-butler531]

Totally loving filming and editing of planters today. Fades in of plants slowly ❤

[@patstoughton]

Just watching the kids is delightful. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. Samantha speaks so well. Benjamin is so serious at times. And of course, Russell mugged for us, too. What a wonderful way to greet today. Oh yes, your flower containers are beautiful.

[@debbriggs5811]

Such a fun "gummy" project for everyone! Thanks for sharing.

[@RealBradMiller]

Here in southern Ohio, snow on the ground three days ago, but I've had a lot of my seedlings and houseplants out to enjoy the warmer weather and rain, and gotta drag it all back in because tomorrow the high is 39 and lows in the 20's. 😮‍💨 The things we do for love!

[@carriesmith9943]

Those pots are amazing! I love the combination. Laura you have such a great eye!

[@paulamccaskey9777]

Wow, what a great way to work on small motor skills, and the kids don't even realize it. And so rewarding, better than a puzzle. I enjoy your videos so much, first thing in the morning with my coffee.

What a treat! Shopping for new plants, planting spring pots, coffee, Mom, Monicuss, your precious kids, and cooking all in one video! The only thing missing was antiques---too bad you didn't have antique Gummy molds!

[@JanHastings-ns7ze]

The gummy’s are a great idea. Have you ever thought about a star magnolia. Grows to 15’ and the blooms are white and smell heavenly. You should save the viola’s because they are perennials. Always enjoy your videos!

[@be_you2023]

Hi Laura, This is such a welcomed video, it reminds of a saying that resonates with me because it is a simple recipe for good health: “let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”. The garden truly is a gift that keeps on giving. Thank you for enriching and inspiring us. ❤

[@natalieb2160]

Wow the pots are amazing I was not expecting the dogwood in the pots. I love how you fit soo many plants in your it makes them have such an impact from the very beginning and love that so many can be replanted out in the garden.

[@katiedc8239]

Those two cuties just scarfing down the gummy worms will steal your heart!! 💓I am just sitting here smiling with delight at their joy and cuteness. Those gummies are a great idea. And I LOVE the combination of the yellow twig dogwood with those hellebores, REALLY great combination of colors and texture. Thank you! God bless!

[@mrsta1267]

My kids love our homemade gummies too! Those big bear molds are great for little pb cups. They turn out so cute.

Up-potting the geraniums as you acquire empty 4" pots is a brilliant way to spread that project out so it's not overwhelming!

[@jacquip644]

Watching this video makes my mouth water for planting! I'm in the Northeast and I think we have about another month before temps start to get a bit warmer...bummer. Great to see Russell...he's such a handsome devil. Being the Foreman seems to agree with him. Let Douglas handle the details as grounds manager.😂 YAY Spring!💚💚💚

[@cyndydealmeida4085]

If you have a reasonably sheltered spot, say beside a wall or fence, pansies and violas will last the same as any perennial. Up here in Toronto we have the freeze thaw issue, plus strange temperatures over the last few years and lack of very much snow. Very similar it seems to your area in some ways. I love to put pansies in a couple of containers in my front garden, and then when the weather gets hot I pop them under trees, or in little spots where they last for quite a while until we get into the extremely hot weather when I trim them and leave them alone until I check them the following Spring. However, these days trying to persuade local garden centres to get in pansies stock in February is hopeless. They all tell me its far too early. Pansies love the cold weather. Wish I could visit your parent's garden centre.

[@Houseds]

❤Beautiful containers.I love It. Just love Russel coming in to say a closeup hi so sweet❤

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

That big concrete pots are so perfect!

[@lf4193]

Looks like the recipe for gummies is: 1 cup juice, 2 Tbsp honey or adjust to sweetness , 1 Tbsp beef gelatin. For strawberry puree, sieve out pulp then thin out with dash of juice, add juice from 1/2 lemon. Heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour into molds refrigerate few hours.
