I like how your coffee mug actually has coffee in it that we can see! (not just a prop for the camera) What you show us and what you give us are real, and I love that!

[@sherrymayhew14]

Reading the comments posted for Garden Answer is so uplifting - Gardeners are truly the Greatest People - you all are so willing to share their tips and knowledge with us - Because of Laura and the Garden Answer followers I have been able to up my garden game. Thanks

You should make a Garden Answer calendar. I would buy one.

[@Bamboo4U2]

Are (paper) calendars still a thing? Since we all have phones now, I even got rid of my wristwatch. Also? Often, calendars are made of glossy paper; something that usually cannot be recycled.

[@kellycz2877]

Yes! The biggest challenge would be for them to choose only 12 photos from their amazing property.

Your coffee mug is by Ten Strawberry Street and the pattern is called vail damask. Unfortunately that collection was discontinued

Laura & Aaron: Do you leave "Winter lights out" It would be really cool for you to drone coming down your driveway, then all around your house as if you were in the car driving! With the fresh snow and a few white fairy lights. Just a thought. ♡ I keep a few miniature trees up until after Valentine's Day! Just love your channel! 💗

I'd love to see you take the red pots you just got & plant up Valentine's inspired theme containers using reds, pinks & whites. What kind of plants could we use (in those shades) for late Winter, etc.

[@gardenanswer]

That would be a challenge! 🤔❤️

[@christinalw19]

In So Ca, I have pale pink and wine red nicotiana just beginning to bloom! White pink and red vinca minor has survived the rain and cold nights! Dianthus, alyssum, cyclamen are popular here in winter. Pure white, red red, fuchsia. I keep pots & beds with: those from Christmas through Valentine’s Day, then I am so tired of red & white! Lol 😉👍🏼

[@ramibu239]

@@christinalw19 that's S Cal!!!😅 Unfortunately everything is pretty bleak, dead or dormant in OR (& I'm in W OR - zone8. I'm sure it is even more so so for Laura in E OR - zone 5). I have seen Cyclamen for sale in garden centers during Winter months, but you never see them in anyone's actual garden. We do have Hellebore & Snowdrops that bloom this time of year, but thats about it. I'm envious that you have things that bloom (& grow) all year for you!!!

[@ramibu239]

@@gardenanswer still think it would be neat to take one red, one white & one cobalt pot - each in a diff size - & do a 4th of July planting too. But that def would be a much easier challenge!!! I've done lots of Red, White & Blue flower containers for The Fourth, just never had the pots to match!!!❤💙🇺🇸

What a super sweet thought behind the cowboy Santa ornament! You have some super sweet subscribers Laura!

[@bonitadc3]

There is a plant directly behind you in this video (on your right side) that looks to me like Senecio Blue Chalk Fingers. If that is what it is, can you please tell me the secret to keeping this plant healthy!!! my little daughter is obsessed with this particular plant and we have killed 3 of them. I would really like to keep one alive for her, she fell in love with this plant from one of your unboxing videos and never stops talking about them (she is 5 and now obsessed with gardening, too!)

[@newsak1]

Love the recaps! All the gifts were so sweet and thoughtful.

[@krissitaylor]

Hi Laura! I love your videos and have been so inspired! I'm wondering if you would consider a video on lamb's ear care? Yours look so beautiful and full! Any tips and information would be so appreciated! I'm going to be starting some seeds to use as a border in my front yard!

Thank You for sharing I always enjoy and learn something from your videos. Keep spreading education and Joy.

[@j.d.8075]

I think the Amaryllis you are talking about are what we call Hippeastrums here in Aus... living in the tropics where we get dry and monsoon, we use Hippeastrums in the garden beds... they seem to survive both our wet seasons and dry. In other words, we use them as a landscape plant, along with Bromeliads, Birds' Nest Ferns and Fireball Lillies. Interesting to see how climate impacts our planting choices.

[@MikaStar12]

J. D. I had to take a pic ofamaryllis to show bunnings to find what it's called here in Australia lol I've only been here few years from England originally which also it's called amaryllis :) will it survive outdoor in SA?

[@j.d.8075]

@@MikaStar12 Probably shall die back in the frosty winters... try a cheapish one first and then progress to the more expensive varieties... frosts occur in different parts of the north and we get around that by placing sugar cane mulch over things... pea straw etc, should do the same trick.

Thank you for doing these recaps - I enjoy them so much (and you answered my chicken breed question and I geeked out a couple of weeks ago;). I need to rewatch your video(s) on your grow light plant shelving - I need the system you’re sitting in front of so badly. And I agree on TJMaxx - I have found some little treasures there over the years - all my lanterns for outside, mugs, dishes, rugs... a very nice deal on my largest Dutch oven...

[@MeantdsBorninds]

[@emilykiesling2315]

I have used the winter seed method in empty milk jugs and yes it totally works . I first learned this method from another u tuber a year ago and I wanted o try it out, I was amazed that it worked, even with all the snow we had here in Kentucky.

[@daniellegrows2498]

Am I the only one who loves to analyze all the plants in this room? I love the burros tail and the others that hang! I really like it when you do videos in there!

[@ryfry3562]

I’ve been binging your vegetable garden videos because I am building a new garden from scratch and planning now. I have a large pasture that I’m converting to a vegetable garden, small orchard and cutting garden. A few questions: 1. I want to grow raspberries. I know your parents have them but I don’t see you growing them so I’m wondering if they are too much trouble or if there is a reason you aren’t. Also curious about blueberries. 2. Is there anything you would change about your vegetable garden now that you’re a few years in? My infrastructure will be pretty permanent because of fencing and the pathways between my beds so I’m kind of stressed about the planning. I rearranged my old vegetable garden every year because I was indecisive. 🙀😹 3. Do you think a deeper bed for potatoes is the way to go? 4. Do you believe in crop rotation or do you plant things in the same spots year to year? 5. Will you be starting your cutting garden this year? 🤞🏻 For those asking, winter sowing is amazing. It’s extremely easy and hands off approach. The jugs create a more concentrated greenhouse effect for each set of seeds rather than starting them in a large greenhouse. There is a Facebook group devoted to winter sowing if you want more info. You will be amazed at the moisture and warmth that comes out of those jugs. I have had great success with vegetable seedlings but not flowers. Also, you will open the jugs when the weather begins to warm so they adjust to the temps and then put them right in the ground. I open mine up for about a week (keep them moist after you open) right before you’d normally plant your seedlings.

[@lisarmahan]

I have some ideas but im worried about being on the ground floor and not getting enough light etc, watering with a can not a hose, sounds aweful, so many changes. Im from san diego where all things grow, and now have been living in colorado where its a zone 5 also hot in summer kinda cold ish in winter. Thought you could speak to this and im sure a lot of others plant in apartments. Also ps. To your fella who thinks his amarillis might not grow or do anything ....I bought some big, kinda expensive ones from a family owned nursery. Planted them in oct.
