For the love of Pete, why would anyone get upset over how Laura wears her hair or how she dresses to work outside? If it doesn't bother her, then no one else should be bothered by it. I watch GA videos to learn about how to plant different things at different times of the year, fertilizing the plants/trees, watching Laura get excited over how a plant /tree is growing in the gardens, seeing Benjamin and Samantha Grace playing in the dirt or helping plant a flower in the garden, picking strawberries and eating them right off the plant, seeing Aaron's beautiful grass, watching as you guys go to different places and plant up beds for your community, watching a video of Laura,her mom,and Monica going antique shopping, or just watching Laura arrange a bouquet of flowers. I start my day with a GA video and love it when I see a video on Instagram with music added to it.😊

As always, starting my Sunday with your recap video. 😁 I’m a late comer to gardening. After our 17 yr old daughter was killed by a drugged driver, a friend gave me a plant and it awakened the gardener in me. It began with creating a jungle on our front porch, then I wanted to make a memorial garden. From there, I wanted to add raised beds. I have back issues so my raised beds are taller than most. I find great comfort in being in that garden. I have not been able to be in my garden in over two weeks due to a ruptured synovial cyst. I am having surgery to remove it this coming Thursday and pray that this relieves the pain and I can walk normally again. I look longingly out of the window at my garden that needs so much attention. Having this back issue has given me a greater empathy for those, like my Mom, who deal with chronic pain and no way to fix it. Those that are told it’s beyond repair and the only answer is pain management. Yet they push through and do what they can. I miss being like Laura and having energy, ambition, drive, and physical ability. Your videos inspire me. Well, let’s be honest, your videos are the catalyst for much of what I have done/plan to do. Sorry for my rambling, know that you both are an inspiration to this baby gardener in Tennessee. ❤️

Upon hearing of Benjamin’s toy soldiers, I flashed to a memory long ago, when my oldest son was Four. He loved playing with toy soldiers, cowboys, etc. we had just closed on a new house. There was a pull-down attic ladder, and our son begged to go up that ladder. Up he climbed, with his dad behind him, in “catch” mode. He reached the top, looked around, and excitedly yelled, “There’s a MAN up here!” Panic time! His dad quickly had him come down, then timidly climbed the ladder and carefully peeped over the edge. Vastly relieved, he came back down the ladder, clutching a little toy soldier.

I am a 66-year-old gardener here in north-east Oregon, right near the Washington border. Even though I’ve gardened (at least a small area) for years. But I really don’t know what I’m doing. It’s all trial and error (mostly error). My hardest lesson learned is the location each different plant needs. I’ve wasted so much money over the years on perennials that I’ve put in wrong places. To the point that I’ve gotten very discouraged. For the first time ever, I did not plant a garden last year. Then I found your channel last winter (22-23). I want to thank you for all the inspiration. I couldn’t wait for Spring. I’ve got a nice, little garden this year, thanks to you. This past Spring, I was reunited with a couple of high school friends. One is a gardener so after catching up on the past forty plus years, I asked her if she had ever watched your channel. Her response was “I’ve been watching her channel since the beginning, before she even had any kids”. I feel sad that I missed out on over forty years of friendship with her and many years of watching your channel. But currently, I am so thankful for her friendship and you and Erin’s solid advice. My husband knows that every evening we have to look to see if you have a new video posted. He graciously watches each one with me. In our younger years, we had a booming, lawn care service. He had gone to Walla Walla Community College for their two-year, Turf Management Course then afterwards we started our business. So he is always interested in Erin’s input about your lawn and it’s care. My husband can be pretty critical about other people’s lawns. But he always praises Erin and all his explanations, saying “he sure knows what he is doing, doesn’t he”. I didn’t mean to write this much, I’ve considered commenting prior, but I don’t really have time for much social media so haven’t got in the habit of commenting on things I like. I’ve so enjoyed watching your family and enjoy seeing all the changes to your property, and the new property and your new, new property (lol). God bless your family. You are such an inspiration to so many people. God has used you and your family in such a big way. You are certainly an answer to my prayers. I hope your channel is still going years from now.

😅 Here in the Paris suburbs, we have a 400 square meter suburban lot. Don't know about how many acres... What with the House's ground floor, I garden on 3 sides in maybe 280 SQ. MT. I'm dealing with the Southwest side neighbor's huge tree planted right next to my garage, casting too much shade on my poor rose that I planted when their Maple tree was a twiggy 4 footer. So I understand the shade problem 😖. But as I get older, I'm glad I don't have an even larger garden to take care of.

Love your Garden Answers.. Watching you Laura encouraged me to get back to gardening. Im 82 yrs its never to late. Linda C

Love your channel! Don’t ever think you are repeating stuff or your audience gets bored. You get new folks every day watching and learning from your videos. Some of us need to see it a few times to remember 😊

I sure hope you never stop making videos. Your videos are the only ones I do not get bored of. I have learned so much from you and you motivate me to be a better gardener. I am always eager to watch your videos and when there is a day you don't post it kinda makes me sad lol.

Good afternoon from the Costa Dorada in Spain! I'm on holiday here and thankful that my wonderful neighbors are taking care of my vegetable garden back home.

With your pond in the works, can you give an update to the neighbors pond you planted a year (?) ago?

I like how Laura thinks about her wardrobe. I'm a fan of Keep It Simple (so the focus stays on family, friends and gardening). I love GA.

I can’t see myself EVER not waking up, get my coffee and wondering what am I going to learn from Laura this morning. ♥️♥️

positivity breeds positivity.... I love this channel for so many reasons, but the lack of religious and political content is one of my favorites things. You love people and are generous and it shows and shines.

I am so envious of you all. I learn a lot and get inspired but I am one of those low energy people who is also dealing with a medication injury which I’m trying to deal with but I still am inspired by your videos and I do go out every day and try to do a little gardening which always makes me feel better. Thanks for putting these videos I look forward to every day 😊

If the woman with the flower/weed wants a new garden, do a raised bed. I have awful soil yet I wanted a Hydrangea garden I tried and amending my soil and it is certainly improved but even with a 60volt drill and auger set up it took an act of congress so I stopped fighting and really thought my problem through and decided to build a HUGE raised bed. I built it out of Split faced Cinder Blocks and rebar. It is 6 feet wide by 20 feet long by 24 inches deep. I am in zone 6. Central Ohio. and yes it has taken an some serious time to fill with top soil/compost mix that was delivered by my local nursery but yesterday I was able to fill one end of it enough that I was able to transplant 5 Hydrangeas out of their 3 gallon cans and into the fresh, rich soil. They went into a slight shock but once they realized they were actually free, They came back and are now happy. Now I still have the rest of the bed to fill with the garden mix but It will be easier now that I have seen the joy of my Hydrangeas, I planted several Hydrangeas from the "Let's Dance" series as well as several Endless Summer series as well. Thank you for being the inspiration that I discovered during Covid when my place of employment was shut down for months. THANK YOU and GOD BLESS!

I agree. It’s one of the things I like about the recap videos. No video from GA is too long for me. Even if I have to watch it in stages. Like savoring a tasty meal.

Great recap. So excited to see the construction of the pond: 3 videos will not be too many!

Laura has a zest for life! And that makes for the best motivator in anything. Her mother's Joy of life and all that fills it must have been deposited in Laurel as she was growing up. I'm sure her children will also have that zest for life! It comes from a grateful heart and It is a gift from God.

I watch Laura to learn about gardening. She always wears a little makeup and her hair is always well groomed. I'm glad she covers up to garden and protects her skin. She is always professional in her videos. So 👏well done Laura and Aaron you make a great team. Don't give the negative comments a second thought.🤗

I bought a like $15 battery headlamp on Amazon and I really enjoy weeding/garden maintenance very early in the morning before the office a few days a week. I'm out before anyone in my neighborhood is awake, with a book or a podcast, fresh coffee, and it is generally the coolest time of the day. Now, I LOVE getting up early and it makes a huge difference to have time when the heat is not overwhelming and when it feels like secret special me time!

I have had two rounds of skin cancer. Due to being outside as a kid playing and working on my grandparents farm in summer. We didn't have sunscreens then. So yes you need to be more protective of your skin. Take care. Have a great week all...Ms Laura and Mr. Aaron.

Not that my opinion matters, and although you have created a life that some people only dream of regarding your house,land, gardens and the Hartley. Your family life and your relationship with each other is truly what makes you rich. That’s the type of success to cherish. You set a wonderful example.

I can't believe anyone would post negative or hateful comments on your page! You are positive, joyful, happy, and you have no political affiliations etc. I wake up and can't wait to see what's happening in your garden! I'm glad you let it roll off your back. Please know that literally THOUSANDS of people find inspiration and joy in your videos. My day is not complete without Garden Answer!! Funny story - I work in a dollhouse shop, and a lady came in and saw a miniature greenhouse. She said to her husband "this looks like a Hartley". She then looked at me and said "Sorry - I just follow this one youtube video.." I said emphatically "GARDEN ANSWER???!!!!" She said YES!! and we high fived in the shop. It was a wonderful and unexpected connection! Thank you for all that you do to educate and inspire us :) xoxoxoxoxo

I LOVE how original you are Laura!!! I admire it!! There's a girl who started out COMPLETELY copying everything you did, including the way you talked and explained plants and things. It drove me crazy!! I HAD to say something!! I don't know why, I just did. I was jumped by her followers, but she is so UNoriginal!!

I went from being vain about what my clothes look like and went to white t-shirts and whatever jeans or shorts and 1 pair each of tennis shoes, flip flops, and work boots. 😂. Keep protecting your skin. Good job!!P.S. I've never felt more secure about who I am without the norm of vanity!!! ❤️

I don't remember ever putting hose on compost piles... Turning and full Sun, well nature rain, our farm was middle state Minnesota. Piles got huge, taller then tractors all leftovets, weeds from our family garden, cows, pigs, horses chickens clening from barn, coop, we didn't hv a grass Catching bagger, only barn garden, coop, wheel barrel at a time into piles, honesty we had the best veggies gardens every year!!

Morning all👵🏼Laura someone asked about the HoseLink if you ever had a problem with it retracting, I’ve noticed with mine if I don’t keep the hose clean before it retracts after several uses it has a problem retracting. Now I keep an old towel close by and I’ll wet it and hold it around the hose lightly as it’s retracting then the towel cleans the hose as it’s retracting. It’s extra work but at the cost of having to replace it it’s worth it to me. Just a thought.
