I don't remember how I happened onto this channel, but I'm so glad I did!!!

[@kaleblawrence976]

I guess Im pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream new movies online?

[@chadjohnny328]

@Kaleb Lawrence i would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@archibaldwilliam709]

The long chatty videos and vlogs give me life. Keep 'em coming! :)

[@oneblessedacrefarm]

I've ordered David Austin roses from online and have had a great experience with all of my orders.

[@camillocci]

hey laura, can you do a video where you show how to start a flower bed from the ground up? I think itd be great to see if you till the ground, or what you use to amend the soil. normally your videos show you just plop them into the ground and everything is gravy, which i know you have great soil in most of the locations. but im dealing with clay like soil, and everything ive planted is dying.

[@LeanneRaynor]

When I am new creating beds, I got a load of leaf mulch and till it in. Now, I have a compost pile and continue to amend the soil.

[@Fr0Y09]

@@LeanneRaynor does the type of leaf matter? I have tons of oaks and theyre kind of acidic

[@ashleyhill3611]

Maybe having a Q&A video at the end of each month, almost like a review of the month would work. It might be able to streamline questions and not let you feel overwhelmed if there are tons. Thank you for doing another Q&A video, they are some of my favorites!

[@elizabethfraser2460]

Ashley Hill that's a great idea!! ☺

[@shawneato]

Ashley Hill she could do the one per month or just after each garden tour!

[@raeperonneau4941]

I love the relationship between you two and Dexter. Somewhere in every video he does something that warms my heart! Thank you for including him!

[@kalisfinest805]

My local garden center consists of Lowes and Home Depot, they dont know much about plants !!

[@laurahorace9939]

No Proven Winners at ours.

[@agood1]

Laura links proven winners website

[@MyNLR]

Right so frustrating!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Not sure how I missed this one when it was new, but it is always a bonus to find another to watch. Aw, Dexter. Your video where you announced the sad news about him showed up again in my feed yesterday and I just couldn't watch it again. But, now it is nice to go back to happier vids featuring him. Distant Drums...so many roses so little deer proof fencing, lol. To think for the first 3 1/2 decades of my gardening life I didn't have to worry about deer...I didn't appreciate what a good thing that was until I moved here where even my roses behind the fencing get their buds chopped off the deer can stretch over to get them.

[@jadestar1580]

You are a natural in front of the camera! Love your videos…. your enthusiasm is infectious!

[@audreywy1743]

love the q&a! here's one for you, who waters your plants and cares for Dexter while you're gone (on workshop trips)?!?

[@PastorPaulLeBoutillier]

Aaron and Laura have a young gal who comes and helps with watering. And Dexter gets cared for by family when they're gone.

[@sianp5227]

Definitely make a regular Q&A Laura, love your videos here in UK. xx

[@Lucy23171]

Oh please do a video on David Austin roses!! Maybe a tour of some of your favorite varieties in your garden center and tips on planting and caring for them. As well as feedback from the plants that you have sold and how your customers have done with them. I recently got a Lady Shallot David Austin rose for my zone 5 home. I am absolutely in love with it and also terrified that I won't keep it healthy . Thank you for all your amazing videos and inspirations!

[@wigglypaw]

English Bulldogs Can ! Call David Austin Nursery in US if that is where you are. They spray too.

[@Stargone57]

Also, Michigan, Michigan, MICHIGAN! YAY for Mackinaw, and congrats!

[@kikkyr8827]

I would love to see a video about your rose garden! how you care for it, what type of roses you have, tips for how to tend roses. always looking forward to your videos!

[@thewashburnhouse4295]

I hate to be demanding but we need a video per day! Not every other day! Your videos are a part of my routine & not having one in the morning is a huge bummer! Keep them coming! I live in GA & it has been raining nonstop all week. I need to garden even if it's through you guys & the wonderful videos!

[@shawneato]

Jessica Washburn some people take comments way too seriously! I love a garden answer video with my morning cup of coffee!! I live in AZ and we don't get rain, we're melting in the sun.

[@thewashburnhouse4295]

Dee Lamb The videos are for our entertainment, enjoyment, & education, & I LOVE them! Thanks for your concern! shawneato people do take comments too seriously, but it's okay, they need to garden more!

[@Hookedonfaith-akasandramoody]

Jessica I live in GA also and it seems this entire month has been nothing but rain. I am a little north of Atlanta. Nice to know of another Gardenanswer fan from GA.

[@kristinclark5371]

I SO agree!!! Watching Garden Answer is the best way to start my day! Especially now that I binge watched all the past episodes (lol)... I'm constantly wondering what Laura is doing in her garden or at her parents' nursery today 🌹☺️🌿

[@rivera19899]

Jessica Washburn This morning I was not able to watch and since I was not going to wait until the evening I at least heard it on my way to work.

[@tmiller1003]

On weeds...I use vinegar because I don't allow chemicals on my property and it works/kills every weed. I get two gallons at Costco for just over $3.00 a box. Great video, Laura ~ thank you!!

[@gardenanswer]

What ratio do you mix at? I've tried with mild success, but I might be mixing it wrong! 😜

[@tmiller1003]

I use straight vinegar in my garden sprayer and nothing else. I've heard mixing in dawn dish soap makes it more potent, but I haven't tried it yet.

[@ashle130]

T Miller 1 gallon vinegar, 1 cup of dawn, 1/2 cup epson when its hot, and direct sun works bests. It kills anything I hit it with down in the Bay Area.

[@rustlesee]

Vinegar, although probably "better" than the name brands we all know, I'd still consider it a chemical. It's basically acid diluted a little bit with water. I'd prefer it too, so I am not knocking that. But it's still a chemical you wouldn't want a child playing with. That being said, I'm with Laura.. I hand weed the beds but the driveway and other hard surfaces sometimes need a boost from a chemical.

[@d.wilbur5164]

We use vinegar on our gravel driveway also and our gravel paths. Works great!

[@meshisha77]

I have been breathing ur videos. Love ur content. So helpful. I just planted my very first containers. Put 4 in front of the front door. Im in love. Today i fertilized with holly tone rose tone and plant tone. Looking forward to the results 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@nanettecolling477]

I use David Roth japanese weeding sickle, purchase on Amazon for $19.50. It slices through grass and weeds like butter

[@hannahharrison111]

I just got two mini strawberry veined supertunias and a supertunia silverberry in the mail from Proven Winners yesterday, and you and Aaron and Dexter were in a double page feature in the magazine included! I thought that was so neat!

[@julietdekeyzer]

I would LOVE to see a video on how to create a planting area from an old outdated area. Specifically, how to create an edge and make the bed "official". Hope that makes sense. I did watch you create the corner spot at your in-laws and it helped tremendously. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the videos.

[@rustlesee]

Julie: I have spent the last year or two removing annoying spots in my lawn. Spots that just are hard to keep happy, for one reason or another. It gets easier, with each bit. I remove the lawn, and add planting beds. I'd rather see bees and butterflies enjoying the space instead of sad grass in those tough spots. Anyway, I'd say just stake it out. Go get some wood stakes at HD, and stake it out. If you don't like it, move it around. And if in doubt, make it a little smaller than you think you want. As you can adjust after. :-) Once you're good, make it "official". Just go for it! Your yard, your vision.. make it happen.

[@carollreece1190]

Congratulations on being a presenter at Mackinac Island! 👏🌺 On my bucket list! Your videos are so informative and so well done!

[@deelightedone651]

Hi Laura. I've been following your videos for a year now. It all started with your video on succulents: tips for beginners and now I am propagating. I've been wanting to try other plants but I just can't use the plants that you usually feature on your videos. I'm from the tropical country of Philippines and it would mean so much if you could feature some variety that would work here, too. I don't even know if that's possible. Your videos inspire me all the time, anyway. Love you Laura and Aaron! mwah!

[@glendajansen1625]

You have nothing to apologize for. Everyone can surely see how busy you are. I can't believe how much you do in a day. You and Aaron are very hard working. Love watching your videos. Everything you do is perfection. Thanks for sharing.

[@aishashaloveslife]

[@jojohnston4113]

Enjoyed the Q&A! We have a Buster (domestic shorthair) who stays where he wishes, too. He's been with us for a very long time and we learned early not to expect him to do anything he doesn't wish to do.

[@PamelaGroppe]

I have ordered bare root roses from the US David Austin website and they are awesome packagers. All the roses I have purchased from them have arrived healthy, in great condition and live on to be fabulous! Don't be afraid to order from the website. What is also great is, on the website you can find attributes of roses that suit your area or wants. Like cold hardy, extreme disease resistance, excellent reblooming etc. They will send you new catalogs each year to see what they have recently developed and released, which is fun. It comes in January, about the time you are really needed some floral eye candy!

[@zeppypaige]

Good morning and thanks for the great video. I'm a recent subscriber, found you by searching for succulent videos, and I am now hooked. Your excitement and enthusiasm for gardening is contagious!! If you aren't gardening is there anything else you enjoy doing in your spare time? I love to crochet but that's more of a winter thing when I can't have my hands on the dirt. Cheers and have a great day!!!

[@aishashaloveslife]

I started the same way!!!!! was looking for succulent care and found Laura!

[@DianeCee0]

You were SO right about Supertunia vs regular petunias. I have 1 Supertunia and 2 regular, the Super one is AMAZING!

[@dianajean4837]

i have ordered David Austin roses from Heirloom Roses. They came beautifully packed, are healthy and growing well !

[@heatherwoods5703]

Never mind the heat, I can't stand working with my hair falling all around my face! 😜

[@FRANCESGUM]

I'm embarrassed to say I just Google'd a David Austin Rose and......OH MY HEAVENS!!!!!!!

[@cherrose100]

Most definitely Q&A at least once a month Laura ... it's a brilliant way the interact with your viewers ... Us all 😉🕊 Thank you dear Laura for some many amazing videos. 👍🏼

[@TheSkyAndTheSea]

I grow the Blood Orange nemesia every year and it never fails me. This year I put four plants in a wall-mounted planter and it is bursting at the seams with flowers. It's taken torrential downpour, beating hot sun, hail, and birds ripping at it (for nesting purposes), and it's happy as can be. Thanks, Laura! Look forward to seeing you next week in Vermont!

[@medinasod2013]

awesome tip for the drip line the brown one with holes every 18 inches I didn't know existed and we're just getting ready to do my garden thank you you saved us a lot of time and my cats are in the house with air conditioning also

[@joanngroninger5418]

I would like to see a video of your hair routine , and how you do it. Your hair is so healthy and pretty !!!

[@nancycherven9933]

Lots of gardening and fresh (air)hair!

[@susanbergman1200]

Love all your videos! I've been gardening for about 30 years but I always learn something new by watching. And I love to see Dexter. He looks like such a love bug! My kitties must watch me garden from the porch, they are inside kitties!

[@susanjohnson2599]

Good morning Laura. Could you please do a video on how to put together the jellyfish plant? The one with the inpatients and Dichondra? It is beautiful and would love to make one myself. Thank you for all your videos. Love them and have learned so much from them.

[@fannieallen6005]

I had to pick cotton and work in truck patches growing up. Being one of 10 kids, Daddy made us were jeans, long sleeve shirts, and straw hats all the time. It protected us from the sun and was actually helping us to stay cooler.

[@chiquitochin]

I just start following you and I’m having a blast I think you look great and you are all about gardening not hair

[@deloresanderson2102]

Love watching your videos... You are an inspiration to all ladies...

[@justgiveitashot1]

YAY!! Weekly!! I would love to have some guidance on fertilizers. I noticed in a recent video you ended up using two different kinds and I'm sure I'm not doing enough of if or maybe not the right type. Thank you

[@cindypardue6317]

Love the Q&A. Would be great to see on a regular basis. I also live in Ga. and since sooo much rain, the weeds look like shrubs! Enjoy your channel so much. It's a great fix to the day......

My David Austin came from David Austin. They arrived just fine and they are gorgeous.

WhaaaaaaaI missed it. sob sob. P. Allen Smith has so inspired me especially with his beginnings of gardening.

[@michaelhaddan1965]

Santa Barbara, can get hot here! As a gardener I've always been a long-sleeves person: helps prevent sunburn, scratches, biting insects, sap, et al, and yes, I've gotten used to it, rarely in short sleeves! I also have long hair for the same reasons! Thanks for mentioning this!

[@helenamesich9578]

Great hair! I stay away from the pony too...love watching your videos!

Thank you for another wonderful video and visit. It's great to see you so relaxed and not having to work as hard. You & Aaron are certainly blessed and I've heard you mention it multiple times. You guys are the kind of people that I could never be jealous of or have a problem being happy for, Laura. Please stay the same, warm, approachable person that you are now and never let fame change who you are. Best of luck to all of you! 💜

[@BrooklynDave718]

Love the Q&A videos. They answer a lot of questions I have.

Glad to have you back on the island! I think I'll get to see your presentation! Super excited!

How do you take care of your hands after a hard days gardening ? Any magic potions we can use?

[@deannededemariehampton768]

Hi Laura, I just watched this video, ugh 😑 almost 2 years later. I must apologize When I first became a subscriber I didn’t realize that you weren’t able to always get to responding to the comments I’m really sorry. I love your videos very much. I’m living vicariously through you!

[@pamketron]

Weeds - These videos help keep all the weed out of your flower beds!!! Because I know you will pull everyone out before you do a video! Love 💚💙💜💛 this Q&A. Answered some questions I had asked also. Y'all are the best! If I ever make it to Oregon (which I would love to see) will definitely be visiting your garden center. Keep up the awesome videos. I know everybody loves them. Have a great day and God Bless. 🌸🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼🌿🌿😍

[@SamGreenslyfox]

Would you ever consider growing a night garden? Or have a space for plants that bloom only at night?

Loved the Q and A video, you do such a great job! Such beautiful property. I too check most mornings to see if there are new postings. I love that they are not so long and dragged out, I wondered also what you use on your hands to keep them good with all the gardening you do. Looking forward to seeing your garden tour.

[@sheilagilleland4312]

You have a full schedule, one little boy and a baby girl, a house, and husband and all the videos you put out. I’m sure you don’t have time to think some days. That’s not including your gardens/ yard work, grocery, cooking, laundry. I’m exhausted! the cats and chickens. I’m sure I’ve missed a few things. I’m not sure how you do it all, youth helps a whole lot, I sure hope get to relax and take care of yourself. I love your videos. I know it has totally help me along the way. God bless and thanks for the education!.

[@surabhi08]

Loved this video. Glad to know I'm not doing something wrong spending so much time weeding. :D :D :D ponytail. I just thought you left your hair down to look nice on camera. Being inspired by many of your other videos, I redid a few flower beds that had almost completely died out during our freak winter storm in Feb 2021 in Texas. Also did a few containers. I was always scared of fertilizer and was also quite skeptical as to whether fertilizer really did make a huge difference. I overcame my fear watching your videos and my containers are doing so much better this year! Thanks for keeping it real. Thanks for the inspiration. You have a wonderful positive demeanor!

[@alicec2830]

Forget the ponytail, we want a hair curling video!!! plus a day in the life. I love your positive attitude

[@jrod883108]

Just googled this morning: how to get rid of weeds and you're amazing. THANK YOU! I've been waiting for this question to be answered by you.

[@lindadupuis1531]

I hope you see this question, how should you care for a gold flame spirea? When should you prune and how much? Thanks.

[@annadeleon8622]

Is your drip system camouflaged or exposed? Your videos are exceptional👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@WindsomeCottageGarden]

I'm so excited about a drip irrigation video! You inspired me to put drip irrigation in in a small section of my yard, but there were hardly any directions or other videos on KZbin. If you could talk about frequency of the hose and if you add any drips to trees/large shrubs, I'd be very grateful! I think I put too much in when I did my section. I'm watching it closely so I can pull some out of needed. It would be awesome to see what you do before adding it to other sections of my garden!

[@shell051311]

I have totally fallen in love with the PW Superbells 'Pomegranate Punch'! You are so right they are definitely not a real red but more of a deep deep deep magenta color... the multi colored blooms are gorgeous!

[@cherrose100]

Love these kind of videos ... it's good that we the audience get to ask you questions ... thank you for that opportunity 👍🏼

[@marycalder6034]

I love your videos. A few things will work here but I live in high mountain desert in New Mexico. 6800 ft elevation at the foot of a tall mountain with Forrests of big lush trees. I'm in desert. We do get summer rains. Hard cloud burst or even hail. the past two weeks have been near 100f on the daytime and 50-60f at night. that's right at record weather for here. no usually summers in the 80s and night upper 40s to mid 50s at night. most years its hard to get a long enough hot time to raise tomatoes without a greenhouse or hotbed at least. We had snow in Late May this year. Usually snow and frost is over by the first or second week of April. Frost returns in September and snow by October 31st. It makes a crazy growing season but I always try to have a garden and flowers for as much of the season as possible. your videos are inspiring.

[@jillspady6450]

I was so excited to hear, you, Laura say you love David Austin roses! , In So CA one of the best resources for them them is Ottos and Sons, in Filmore, . CA. North of San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita. Over 100,000 roses. if you're an Austin Addict, like me, they carry those allowed for sale in the US. And David Austin online, use the United States Version. they can send own root or bare root. my absolute favorite ever. I have over 30+ varieties. I cannot help myself.

[@wigglypaw]

Jill Spady Possesed rose growers will go to a wedding and cut some stems off the brides bouquet or on the decor vases. Respectful rosarians will not. Although they might ask a gardener for some stem cutting from a non licensed variety. It’s like software stealing or copying artists art or bootlegging movies. I love Austins sturdy stems for holding up big honkin blooms. Some blooms, even the company recommends some support- maybe stand out there when company comes and hold the heads up? Old crutches? Dime a dozen at charity stores.

[@silvertonguedaywalker9116]

Hi Laura. You work so hard for us all bless your Kind beautiful Heart xx You constantly flick your frindge away frim your right eye. . Put one of your caps on. Lol Laura have you ever took cuttings from your Petunas x 🐥🐤🌱 The only flowers we have that ard Red is the Red Poppies for Memorial Day x

You're so good at this. Loved the Q&A! Great way to address questions, since I often don't have a chance to sift through all the comments and find out your thoughts and answers. Thank you for doing this!

[@sarahhewlett2366]

I order David Austin online from David Austin website. They come bare root, at the end of April and it works great.

[@lauraparker108]

Sarah HEWLETT me too!

[@wigglypaw]

Depending on your conditions, zone, etc, we must have own root roses. Austin has some, but North Country Roses growers carry Austins on their own roots. Also, Heirloom.

[@dc0145a]

For ordering roses online, I like Heirloom Roses in Oregon. Here in southern NH own root roses are my preference. A few weeks ago I visited Peter Beales rose garden in Attleborough Norfolk England - beautiful. I can't find his roses here in the states. Churchill and Queens Jubilee are beyond gorgeous.

[@elenaselina922]

Благодаря Вашим видео я по новому отношусь к саду. Я стала его больше понимать и он отвечает мне взаимностью.Правда погода у нас в этом году экстремальная, вчера ночью было всего +1 и все цветы застыли, но вы вселяете в меня надежду и уверенность в том, что всё получится.Спасибо.
