Laura you are the reason that I took a chance on growing some flowers. At 61 I never actually grew flowers. This year I bought a 29 cent pack of zinnia seeds and they have done wonderfully. You gave me the inspiration to try again after failing for a few seasons. Thanks for all you have done for all of us.

I was so happy to read this….I too am 61 years old and have now been inspired by Laura to try to harvest seeds from by flower gardens. I don’t have the room for a cut flower garden, so I bought a small raised garden from Sams Club and will be planting zinnias seeds and dahlia tubes in there. Can’t wait!

Hi Laura I've been meaning to thank you for a series of videos you did sometime ago regarding set up of a drip system for your friends. It was the most detailed and very easy to follow. I've been able to set up my patio and back bed following your instructions. Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge!

It's going to look so beautiful when the shed is done and the hedges of sunflowers lead you down the walkway.

Listening to all Laura does in one day makes me extremely tired. Where does she get her energy and motivation to keep going and still care for her family. She is a tower of strength and really “rocks” in my book. Go Laura. I admire you!!

Dealing with some grief today and really needed this sunny, happy, hopeful video. Thank you. ❤

Oh, the beauty of seeing row after row of lush flowers and plants! You've accomplished so much this year and I find it so inspiring to watch how much you and Aaron do. My neighbors all tell me that my gardens have never looked so good and I have you to thank. Now that I'm retired and get to watch you every day as I enjoy my coffee, I keep looking around and imagining what I could do with each "space". You are so appreciated, Laura and Aaron is a delight!

I marvel at your energy Laura! You are an inspiration to us all to keep on marching on!

The hose reel on the gator - AWESOME !!! The two of you never cease to amaze me. Thank you

Good morning and Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 I think Gardening has totally been elevated to Top Hobby during lockdown. 👩‍🌾👍

Good Morning GA World! That is what makes the Cut Flower Garden a true Blessing - Being able to share such Beauty! Everything is looking beautiful Laura - and if Navy Blue is the new Black - It suits you to a tee!

No one dresses up a root cellar like Laura! 🌻🌺🌸🌼 love looking towards the house from the cut flower garden and seeing all that green lawn!!

The Hoselink on the Gater is perfect and so convenient! Just be careful when rounding those corners. If the hose reel rotates 360 degrees, someone could get really hurt!

I just bought my first dahlias today (late Winter in Australia), I’m fascinated by the geometric patterns of their petals and can’t wait to see them grow - would never had bought them if I hadn’t been inspired by your enthusiasm ❤️ Also growing some hollyhocks and more from seed, again completely because of how much you have inspired me. Oh, I saw some heuchera pots last week with the Proven Winners label at a small garden centre I’d never been to before - I was so excited to see something I recognised from your channel lol because I’d never see PW before over here!

What a beautiful colourful flowers and What a nice gesture to give away some for friends . Hope that laura will share us some photos of the flowers arrangments in the coming videos.

My favorite videos are when you harvest things out of your garden. I'm curious what your typical work week looks like. What time do you start your day? Do you plan out what things you will work on before the week starts?

Good morning, Laura ☕️ Your friend is going to be thrilled 😁 with all those gorgeous flowers 💐 I know I would be! The sunflowers 🌻 are looking amazing 🤩 Aaron is so intuitive! He is so good at planning ahead and is like a “work smarter, not harder” type of guy. You two balance well together. The Hoselink idea was brilliant 🙌🏻. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

Mounting the Hoselink to the Gator is genius! You and Aaron compliment each other so well!

Funny I started a cut flower garden ( after watching you) and I've gotten to bless people and my self with beautiful flowers!

I absolutely love the choice of music - so relaxing to watch and listen!

Yay lunch with Laura. Thank you for prompting me to try Zinnias for the first time I love them ! 😍😎🇫🇷

I'm saying the same at 65 I have a flower bed and just loving it thanking you for your videos

Hi Laura, you are the reason I attempted to grow flowers and what a fun experience it is! Cut flower garden was a totally new concept to me , that you grow flowers to cut!!! Wow!! and I am now hooked on to making flower arrangements for my house and even for friends ! Thank you for being my inspiration and coach for all things garden! You both rock!! Wish you continued success!!

Good morning fellow gardeners! I love all the colour in the garden, the China asters are so nostalgic, they bring me happy memories of when I lived in Portugal as a child. Just about every garden had them in blue, pink and white. Cheers from the other Ontario. Xx

Aaron you the man! Always thinking. 🧐 Beautiful cut flowers!🌻🌸🌺

That hose link contraption is FREAKIN GENIUS !!!!!!!! 👍🏻

It just amazes me that you can still be planting this late in the season. Where I live you plant in the Spring, and harvest in the Fall.

Laura .my sister told me to check out your channel and let me tell ya i am so glad i did!!!!.... i have tried so many new idea's when i thought i could not do it or it would not grow I look forward in watching you guy's everyday. Is there any flowers that you do not like to grow or take care of? You are such a inspiration to others and how is Samantha and Benjamin doing?

Roasted Brussels sprouts just may change your mind. Roast them at a high heat (400/425). Cut them in half, coat with olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread them out on parchment paper. Many will get really black looking. They are so good they changed my view of them!

Putting the hose link on the Gator🤯 living in 2121!!! Genus!

Hi Laura and Aaron! What a great idea for adding the hose link to the gator! Way to go Aaron! The flowers you gathered are beautiful! Wish we could see what the bouquets look like for the graduation. Thank you so much for sharing!

for those of you that have the “cilantro soap genes” that make cilantro taste like soap, you should grow “culantro” (also known as “recao”)! Many Latinos use culantro primarily and only use cilantro as a substitute when we can’t get culantro/recao (for making sofrito). Recao seeds need lots of moisture to germinate so regular misting is a must. I try to talk about it on my lil’ channel when I can, because I think it’s underused 😊🌱 Good luck!

I truly look forward to seeing how the spaces change and grow. Looking forward to seeing the new shed and the whole cut flower garden next fall with rows of sunflowers.

Beautiful flowers 🌹 Ms Laura. I really hope that your friends enjoy them and your hard work. Garden looking beautiful. I still wish I had a green thumb like you and Mr. Aaron Ms Laura. Be safe and well.

Oh my, Laura, I'm tired just watching you! I'm so amazed at your incredible energy!

Another aerial view of the property would be wonderful!

Who doesn't love buckets of flowers. They will love them. You are so inspiring. Now get some rest. Whew.

Hoselink + Gator ... match made in heaven haha! Hope that creative set up works out well!

That color top you are wearing is beautiful, looks amazing on you. That's your color!

Thanks for sharing your passion and having such a great disposition!

Who all wishes they were beneficiaries of a flower garden like this! So lovely for special events for friends! I don’t know why I have never thought of succession planting cilantro. (🤦‍♀️). Of course other stuff as well, but we use so much of it, and it never lasts long enough. How brilliant Aaron is! When you two get done tweaking this operation, it’s gonna be such a well oiled machine and we all are benefiting from all your expertise! Thank you!

I don't normally notice what people wear. I'm generally oblivious to that but Laura looks amazing in that color blue. Those cut flowers were incredible. It's color overload today!

Best channel ever!

Laura, I don't garden on your scale but I love watching you x

Hoselink on the Gator….great idea. Always something new and interesting. Love your videos.

Aaron, that was an absolutely brilliant idea of welding a bracket for the Hoselink right onto the Gator! I'm always telling myself to 'work smarter, not harder, and that is one fantastic way of doing just that! 💕

I can't believe how much you have achieved in this new space while still tending to your first garden area, keeping chickens, volunteering your time and raising a family! You both are inspiring! Also wondering if you have any tips on growing cilantro. My cilantro is the one thing that doesn't stay looking good and bolts so fast!

I love love love the bright colored flowers.

The high light of my day watching Garden Answer aka Laura and Aaron. Love the portable hoselink. The flowers are gorgeous. What a blessing to be able to share flowers with your friends. Love how beautifully everything is coming together!!!

Awesome hose unit attachment. Very creative,Aaron. Thanks for sharing. The gardens are beautiful.

My idea of heaven on earth would be to have my own cut flower garden. Alas I'm a city girl from Baltimore.

In our 1st lockdown in New Zealand the garden centres ran out of vege seedlings and seeds! I had to make to with old packets of seeds for my winter vegetables. We survived😄.

LOVE that seed planting music!

Good morning 🌱☕

That's a beautiful variety of colorful flowers 💐. We are definitely inspired for fall veggies in our garden.

Good morning, Laura.

Laura could you do a comprehensive video on what crops are a good idea to plant end of summer beginning of fall? We are putting it together from your videos but it would be nice to have it all in one spot so maybe newbies to year round crops can get a better plan together.

What is a cover crop? I am continually amazed at how much you do each day!! Having two young children to care for, a house, husband and a huge garden!!! Plus, I have heard you say that you are up late at night! Where does all of this energy come from? You have the sweetest husband too. God has truly blessed you all and thank you for sharing your talents with us. I am going on 70 and each year I try to make a pretty flower garden. This year it did fairly well, because I followed your directions on fertilizing annuals. I didn't know that annuals needed so much regular fertilization. Thank you again.

Wow! Love all the color. Flowers looks amazing! Many blessings

Wow you are really growing as a gardener yourself Laura. Love that you're sharing the journey with us. Thank you.
