My husband (51 y.o.) just had open heart surgery (he’s doing great) I got to the hospital today and as we sat here I played todays video and when he heard Laura’s happy greeting he chuckled and said “so glad I’m here to listen to that every morning!” Garden video is our morning tradition❤️

[@kimberleyfrasquillo3684]

@Jennifer Dupont, sending hugs and positive vibes to your husband and you. I said a prayer for you both, during your husbands recovery. Many many many more GA morning routine videos together.💖💙💞

Not sure if this is new or if I have just started noticing it, but the zone map that Ken pops up when you say the zones for plants is REALLY helpful. Those little touches make your videos so educational and practical for this newbie.

One of my favorite things about your videos lately is that you’re using the land and sea compost bags as a kneeler!! This is right up my alley.

I wasn't expecting to have my coffee with a Garden Answer video. So happy, thank you for this bonus.

[@leahduncan3063]

Video on a Saturday morning again! That means it’s serious planting season! So excited, hope we get more Saturday videos. The new varieties look beautiful.

[@annecardera7573]

Hey Laura and Aaron! Did I miss you showing the tulip and daffodils near the cut shed/ meadow garden. I've been waiting and waiting to see how it looks with all those bulbs. I can't wait to see them! 😊 thanks

[@jacqydickison8717]

Yes, I was wondering the same thing!🤔

[@camicri4263]

I am 99.99%sure they didn't show it yet.

[@lilysin9202]

Same here waiting haha, only get to see them when Laura posted on insta a dwarf bloom haha

[@pjoroxy1239]

I know, I thought I missed it too. I don’t think 🤔 they done a video of it.

[@annehedlund7333]

I am wondering if it wasn't a huge success since most of the bulbs were short ground huggers. A tiny glimpse looked like weeds were being invasive or the blooms were miniscule. I know there has not been a video. Meadow type gardens are notoriously difficult to start since weeds find them irresistible.

[@LisaOsterholt]

I love Saturday videos. Any day without a Garden Answer video is a sad day. Thanks for covering drip extensions. I am looking at putting in drip this year.

Oh, Laura and Aaron have video on Saturday, it really mean spring season is coming full force ☺️ Great to see all you working on and giving us ideas for our gardens. Can't wait to see and wondering how you will do formal walkways and beds around Hartley ☺️ Brick or gravel?

[@christinahutchison3967]

The way you describe how you want to place your plants and have them look it’s like watching a master painter paint an amazing landscape. Thank you for all your amazing videos and showing us the stunning plants 🪴. Your videos are a bright spot in my day and there’s no words to tell you how much they uplift my spirits and keep me going. God bless you and your family I feel truly blessed to have found your channel.

[@dontgetmadgetraddd]

😭 your videos are part of my morning routine- wake up, feed the cat, make some tea, watch Garden Answer. I decided to do some heavy cleaning this morning and couldn’t wait to sit down to watch a video, until I realized it was Saturday and there was a good chance there wouldn’t be a new one. Resigned, I checked my subscriptions anyway, and low and behold, we were all gifted a boost of serotonin after all 😂💗 but truly what a light your videos shine! Especially on this overcast and rainy day in Indianapolis. 🥲🌷

[@ingridwengert3199]

"Hope I didn't get a bunch of dirt in (irrigation supply line). Nope, I think it looks pretty clean." I love it when Laura doesn't stress over the little things. As a new (perfectionistic) gardener, it's helped me to be much more relaxed. Gardening and life lessons! 🙂

[@Kelly-wb9yn]

I thnk the most valuable things I've learned from Laura when I started watching a couple of years ago is to be daring with gardening! Not to be too afraid to mess up. To put things where they may or may not need to be moved! My gardening friends have started to seek me out for advice now and I always advise to be daring 😂 "Give it a try!" I say 😂

[@katycory2512]

Love the heckling on drip tube unravelling - that’s what husbands are for !

My compliments to the editor! Seems like lately I'm enjoying more dynamic segues and love the music :)

[@Astayner85]

Hi Laura! I just started putting drip in my flower beds and have been having the hardest time with unraveling it. I thought to myself “Laura doesn’t have this problem!” This video made me smile cause it’s shows the real process of gardening and that even Laura can have the same struggles that I may have. Lol now I want to go work on what I was so frustrated to finish. Thanks Laura for the inspiration ❤️

[@zorayadelacruz7593]

Hello. Your videos are very inspiring. We are from Puerto Rico zone 12ve. My son Zamier which is 12 years old follows your channel every day. Also made some.projects you have done.He has learned the names of lots of.plants. Thank you so.much for such a wonderful inspirations.

I’m not sure I’ve EVER felt as frustrated in my garden as I was when unraveling my new drip tubing! I was a wreck! Literally, my blood pressure is rising just thinking about it. You were definitely more smooth than I was! 🤣. And thank you for posting on Saturday… you made my morning! 🥰

[@staceyallard2692]

Ohhhhh Saturday !! Planting day! Whoot whoot 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@marthawroberts7049]

I really enjoy all of your explanations about the plants but, as a new, learning gardener the explanation about how you plant the plants ( at soil level, below or above the soil level, with fertilizer when planting or after planted etc.) is so very helpful for me too. There is so much I find I don’t know & you are such a good teacher.

[@mayswafford6072]

Love the new perennials! They will look gorgeous all grown up. Laura, you make the connections for the drip tubing look so easy. I always have a hard time connecting them. 20 years of doing massage & my hands are not as strong anymore! Have a great day.

[@deniseb2571]

Beautiful! 🌼 And look at that nice green grass 🌱

[@eshelovesdogs]

You two crack me up! I love how down to earth and honest you are!

[@calibold]

I live in mountainous northern New Mexico and deal with daily deer pressure. One of the two or three truly deer resistant plants in my flower garden is hyssop (the mule deer here even eat my alliums). It, naturally, has become my favorite! The smell (anise-mint), the grace, the color (gray-green leaves, salmon flowers), the size, the pollinators (hummingbirds FLOCK to it) are wonderful. Looking forward to buying a new variety next year. Thanks for the heads up!

[@karengerber8390]

Thank you for teaching. I keep my eyes out for Salmon color blooms.

I think we all struggle with that. Really looking forward to seeing how the variegated leaf variety grows.

[@allisonhadland7148]

Thanks for mentioning the way you ran water at your old place. It's helpful for those of us working on a smaller scale! Although I do still find it interesting to see how you do things now in your bigger garden

I started agastache (blue indigo, and golden jubilee) in my winter sowing containers. I have potted them in larger containers but they are not quite ready to plant out. I’m excited to see them in my garden.

[@adriankap2978]

I know it's an old video but I have 2 Meant To Bee's and need to plant and had to check out your video. I was so cracking up watching you unwinding the tubing then you say, "Aaron is dying laughing right now" then I belly laughed. "Opps, I just stepped on an echinacea, I hope the echinacea are tough". Very entertaining video. Echinacea are incredibly tough because I've done my best to kill them over and over, not on purpose just lack of sense lol. They don't and won't die even with my black thumb. I only plant in fabric pots so it'll be interesting to see how big the Meant To Bee grow. Thank you again for the valuable info and your natural fun self.

Love seeing the new plants. The area is looking so good, and I can't wait to how they look in a month. (My only complaint is that the videos are too short. If they were an hour long I would love it. This isn't really a complaint, I just love the videos and look forward to them so much that I hate them to end.) Thank you for making my day a lot more cheerful. You are truly appreciated!

Saturday video AND new perennial varieties!! 😍

[@betsyvanweerdhuizen5316]

We live in rainy Pacific Northwest Washington and have no irrigation system. We have a high water table and I mostly just water by hand when needed, but I’m always fascinated watching Laura put in drip watering system. It’s an intricate skill and is so interesting to watch.

[@kimberleyfrasquillo3684]

@Betsy VanWeerdhuizen, Laura sure makes it look easy, doesn't she? I would love to run drip in several places of my backyard. I am intimidated to attempt it, though, at 61 years young.🥴 Especially, since I live in the Arizona desert, which has a lot of kaliche in the ground. I guess we both just need to take the leap of faith...

[@liqaahailo7982]

Laura and Aaron gives me so much confidence in gardening life 👩‍🌾 they garden everything in the easiest, simplest and smartest way possible for us viewers to understand also have fun and enjoy it all in the same time 💐👩‍🌾💐

[@tomwessling7065]

Thank you for your educational and beautiful videos. I live in FL but I am trying to help my daughter and son-in-law with their yard in Pennsylvania. They only want perineals because they are sooooo busy. So your videos are helping me to understand the plants in zone 6. They don’t understand yet ‘right plant , right place.’ Which is why some of their plantings from last year are dead 🧐.

[@denisedorsey2889]

Maybe what they really want is shrubs and such more than perennials. Perennials do require that maintenance (cutting back, dividing) that they are trying to avoid. I’m sure you understand. I hope you can make a trip to see their garden! 😊

[@joymeev3894]

Didn't expect a video on Saturday yey 😍 lots of love Laura and fam from Philippines 😘😘😘

[@squadiodatamj5998]

I had a chuckle when you mentioned "deer resistance"....we've had a mystery in our long established urban neighbourhood and the missing tulip blooms over the past 2 weeks. They appeared to be snipped off so humans were, at first, suspected....however, yesterday I discovered deer tracks in the back alley and in the planting area along the sidewalk of our next-door neighbour's yard. No one seems to have seen the deer doing the dirty deed, but the evidence is there. Must be making middle of the night raids for the tasty blossoms. They never take them all, just enough to be noticed. Deer resistant plantings are of renewed interest to us all.
