Great job editing the seed starting process, Ken! Loved how each step was shown quickly and the amplified sound was awesome - from the sound of Laura scrunching the soil to check the water content to the birds chirping in the background! Nicely done!

[@MM-bk8np]

Garden ASMR

[@gretchenburton7184]

Yes!!! Beautifully done!!!

[@milliethemillinator3154]

Yes! Beautiful job, Ken! I admire those kinds of attention to detail.

[@stephaniestatnick]

Yes, that sound! Great job Laura for getting the mic in there, so fun.

[@TheAndreawixson]

I didn’t even watch closely because I was paying more attention to the sound 😂

[@judyheim6998]

Don’t apologize for multiple seed starting videos. I love them and by comments it seems I’m not alone. I love seeing the different flowers you are planting as seeds. It gives me ideas- way too many actually! This was a lovely video. Thanks for the good start to my day. And now I go paint.

[@kebergify]

Ken, I really loved the shots in quick succession of each step of the process, it was just spot-on! Since Laura just explained what she'd be doing, then we cut to watching it quickly. I enjoyed it...and can't imagine using a toothpick, Laura, to pick up those tiny seeds!! WHOA. Great job, all!

[@ingrid6926]

The transition from ASMR to music was so perfect! Great work, Ken!

Yes great editing and great camera and mic set up.

[@egustagomez8877]

Many many people are saying it already, but holy cow Ken is doing awesome work. I have noticed the past couple videos from the highlights channel have been stepped up editing wise. Ever since the beautiful garden video where that question asked for more circles 😂😂 And as always, Laura you are making the end of winter brighter and easier to tolerate. I can’t wait for Spring!

Regarding the ruffled brain celosia…one of our gardeners uses the rich pink flowers with winter centerpieces also using hydrangea blooms and eucalyptus…gorgeous!

[@stephenhope7319]

I love the laid back attitude, dont get too technical, do what works for your style. Thats how I approach my veg/herb garden especially for companion plants and flowers to attract pollinators. Go with what works and dont stress about it. Thanks for another great video.

[@jaynehemmings8552]

My sister lives in Perth, Australia. I recognised Rottnest Island. It exists - it's offshore from Perth, Western Australia surrounded by coral reefs & shipwrecks, birds and other animals. Apparently you can stay there too. Now, I need to get my much smaller collection of seeds ready. Thank you, Laura.

[@gretchenkaszuba734]

Loved the guitar music during planting, I bet Aaron could play that. Last year I found the video you did featuring Monica's beautiful voice with you on piano and Aaron on guitar. I put it on GA Groupies. Everyone LOVED it. Thank you for all you do.

[@kimmiller4057]

I swear, the clip of you getting your hands into the wet soul to mix it up gets me all kinds of excited!! I'm a "no gloves" type of gardener. I want to feel the plants, the soil. And get dirt under my nails! 😂 Strange, I know! But this is why I get manicures every 2 weeks. I can't wait to get my hands in the dirt!! Come on Spring!!

[@nallen1833]

Thank you for doing these seed starting videos. Because of them - this is the first year I have grow lights, a few trays, and starting seeds indoors. But I’m nervous - I don’t want to lose any precious baby plants! My geraniums are all up and doing great. Thanks for inspiring and giving me confidence to try something new ❤

[@gordoncook3629]

hi Laura, love all your videos just wanted to let you know that the Rottnest Island daisy is from Western Australia, they also grow on the mainland. Rottnest Island has become somewhat famous after Rodger Fedderer visited and had selfies with the Quokkas ( marsupials) on the Island, very popular holiday place. it is approx 19klms South of Perth . those daisies should grow very well in your area as our weather is dry like yours. thanks for all your great videos have been watching you ever since you moved to your beautiful property. Dianne Cook Safety Bay WA

[@lindameeks9711]

Love your seed starting videos! I started seeds in January. I was home from work after a surgery. Bored! Snap dragon, Painted tongue, Asters, Straw flower, Ageratum, stock, eucalyptus, celosia, bells of Ireland, dara & more. Started Lisanthus in December. I'm hoping we have an early spring!! I am out of room!

[@stephaniestatnick]

If you are able to, start moving most of those outside at least during the day most of them can even take some frost (not celosia) check each one. Look for Lisa Mason Zeigler she has great info on cold hardy flowers.

[@LB-vl3qn]

I, too, appreciate all the information Johnny's puts on their seed packets and wish all seed sellers did so. Baker Creek, I'm looking at you. Just recently, I came across a vendor that's new to me but who lots of GA friends probably know and that's Renee's Garden. They have a lovely selection and their website is absolutely loaded with everything one would ever want to know about seeds and growing veggies and flowers. I have more seeds than places to grow this year, but I'll be ordering from them next year. Wishing good germination for all! ~ Lisa

[@684jewel]

Oh my. I am in zone 9 so it’s warm here already! Love your videos. Thank you for inspiring all of us!

[@lindastephens7068]

I am new to seed starting and have learned so much from all of your videos. Is it possible to show us a quick glimpse of your seeds progress every week or so, so that we can see more of the growing process and what is to be expected? Thanks...love your channel.

[@LickItLollipops]

Yay! Getting seeds and dahlias ready here!

[@mmsanrio]

I was curious too Laura! 🤓 Blue Rottnest Daisy comes from: Rottnest Island sits just offshore from the city of Perth, in Western Australia. A protected nature reserve, it's home to the quokka, a small wallaby-like marsupial. White-sand beaches and secluded coves include the Basin, with its shallow waters, and Thomson Bay, the main hub and ferry port. Strickland Bay is known for its surf breaks, while reef breaks occur at Radar Reef, off the island's far western tip.(thx google! lol)

[@loribethartist6353]

Laura I haven’t been watching you over the winter, in December I lost the ability to walk and had tremors so bad that I couldn’t lift a cup to my mouth. After a few hospital stays and more specialists I was diagnosed with FND (functional neurologic disorder). After a few months of therapy I’m walking while using a walker (and working on moving to a cane 🦯) and actually excited about planning my garden this year! I just didn’t want to think about it when I was basically on bed rest, not knowing if I would be able or not ❤

[@julipolito7761]

Never apologize for seed starting! We love to see the start to finish! Thank you for sharing your learned info! ❤️❤️🌱🪴

[@cshamber]

I especially like it because I like to see things that I am actually doing at the same time. So when I am seed starting, I like to see seed starting videos. When its blooming and cutting time I look for those videos, fall clean up etc., etc. So I hope she doesn't stop them!!!

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 🌺🇺🇸 You are amazing at your diverse taste in flowers, annuals and perennials. We are already feeling the heat of summer, but night time temps are dropping into the 60's. Happy Gardening Everyone 👩‍🌾 👍 💓

[@marticombs6995]

Roselle hibiscus can also be dried and they taste PHENOMENAL! They’re somewhat like cranberries but a touch sweeter and the texture is like fruit roll ups. I’m growing them this year, too, after discovering the fried options. CostPlus carries the dried option if you want to do a taste test. You have the food dehydrator so definitely check out the process of when to harvest & what parts. You will not be sorry.

[@elizabethbazeley190]

I grow these every year in Brisbane, Australia. You actually harvest the "pods" after they flower and use the calix in jams and the centre part has pectin to help the jam set. You can also use the calixes blended and dried like a fruit roll up. The plants get HUGE so make sure you can get to all sides of the plant - I planted mine against a wall one year and I struggled to get the the back side!

[@judygraham2561]

The cold frames at the Hartley would be perfect place for the bell flowers.

hi Laura! well, if its too many seed starting videos, may be you can do some type of LOOKING BACK at your favorite PLANT COMBOS, some flower beds, containers you did over the years ? thats a lot of editing for sure but oh its so INSPIRATIONAL for this new growing season 😍😍🥰 it could be a whole new series, coz you have so many places you change out every year .. its so much fun to refresh and look back, because it does get lost in the mass of everyday videos foe sure .. also you have a ton of drone footage of your property changing , that would be a beautiful video to compile them over the years, magical video!! I like rewatching garden tours from summer months in the dead of winter and I noticed there is a lot of that drone footage adding up over the years , besides those transformation videos are always super popular

Horminum sage are so beautiful. I planted them here in Northern Europe. I had a mixed packet of pink, white and blue/ purple the top leaves are the flowers or I can say they are coloured, very interesting. And I harvested a lot of seeds and I have heard they are self seeding

[@seriouslyreally5413]

The Campanulas (Canterbury Bells) are perennial in Spokane (5a,) readily self sow and "strays" are very easy to dig up and transplant wherever you want them. We have them popping up everywhere in our flower beds because the previous owners as they got too old to tend to their yard just let them naturalize at will. They are a show stopper. We have blue, white & pink. Huge bells but very tall (up to 4-5ft) so the long heavy flower spikes fall over easily. A "must stake, but well worth it" flower.
