I like that you highlight the shortcomings as well as the benefits of the product and give examples of what you like and what works for you. Thank you and congratulations on your newest sprout!

Some girls like opening beauty boxes, and then there are my kinda people-- opening gardening boxes! Loved seeing all these new gardeners tools! Geka products look pretty nice. Love all the quick connects!

Yes coffee with Laura, Aaron and Benjamin and some awesome tools! I also have to say I love starting my day with your videos because you guys always bring a smile to my face and I laugh along with you which is an awesome start to the day!!!!! I think that light weight hose may be great for my daughter and I at our apartment as it will be easier to pick up and move around since we can't have it on a hose holder so I will be checking that out. Also love all the stuff from Geka and will need to see what I can convince my boss to buy for work!

You not speaking about something until you've tried it in all applications is probably one of my favorite things except when you do succulent container gardens 💗

Hi Laura, it's been awhile since I've seen your videos. I'm trying to catch up, you see my mamma who taught me all I know about gardening just passed away 8-2-20 she always enjoyed watching you on our TV big screen. I'll forever miss her. Thank you for sharing all your adventures in gardening, I'm sure she'll mention you in heaven.

Benjamin is too cute! Love how he wants to see everything and test out the tools. 😀

Very fair reviews of all these products. Thank you for showing things that I might not see otherwise. Thank you for sharing your family also. Wonderful video as usual.

Hi Laura, love your unpacking of garden tools, hoses etc. I do love that Benjamin showed so much interest on the small water pond box. Lol he’s so cute and sweet, God bless him.

Love that the company sent you everything all at once. This video was just in time. I was just thinking this that I need more quick connects.

I really enjoy how you combine plant knowledge along with the tools! I'm 61 and never tried a wand. These are great reviews. Thank you.

Oh man!! You got an Aquascape???? Man, I’m so jealous. I love watching their creations.

Ooooo, a thumb wand looks amazing!! One hand watering! This plus the thought of being able to wind up my hose, my neighbors would love it; no more hoses in sight.

I'm sure, Some girls like opening beauty boxes, and then there are my kinda people-- opening gardening boxes! Loved seeing all these new gardeners tools! Geka products look pretty nice. Love all the quick connects!

Yes - the quick connects would be a game changer! Hoselink and the quick connects would be the ultimate watering tools for my veggie garden and patio potted plants and flower beds. Dreaming about these.

After your hose review video last year, I bought a Gilmour and I love it! Nothing throws me into a rage like a hose that kinks 30 feet back from where you're watering and you have to walk back and unkink it. Which makes 3 more kinks! Argh! The medium Gilmour hose is wonderful and brings me watering peace 🤣

Geka ticks all of the boxes. Very impressed!

Laura we are so alike. I also need the thumb valve on my water wands. One of many things that makes me feel like I’m talking with a friend who also loves gardening and teaches me so much.

Never thought I'd have water tool envy!

Finally got my hands on some GEKA products & it came with a note saying we're some of the first customers in the USA! We've been using them for about a week now & they're a huge game changer for us!! I'd love to see you do a more in depth review of their products

You have inspired me to plant a cut flower garden and share with my neighbors next year :)

Nothing better than new garden toys!!!

Quick connects are a game changer when you are working with a lot of hoses and difference sprinklers and watering types. 💙💜💚❤️

Liking the Geka system! Thanks for bringing us along....

Laura-ism's always make me smile out loud!😃 "That's how I guesstimate footages" 😘

Lucky Geka, I went straight to Amazon through your link to buy the watering wand and just a few hours laters they were all sold out. I can't wait to try it out and thanks to you Laura and Aaron for sharing these products and your thoughts on them.

Enjoy watching you share new products. Helps us learn about new items out there before we buy. Thanks!!

I love how Russell just needs to make a cameo in each video

The sprinkler could be a great new toy for Benjamin and Daddy!!

I love that Geka sprinkler!! We had one like that when we were kids. I bet Benjamin would love to run through it on a hot day. Those were the best times finishing up with an Otter Pop 😉

Lol, I started clapping when you opened the pond !! Ha, the only thing you don't have in your garden! So cool. I love packaging! That has always been my favorite thing about Europe, they take such care in packaging. Anyway, A+ to Gilmore for the wooden box !

This years gardens are my favorite!!! Versailles and your front door (glad pink gomphrena was last year🤗) to name two examples. I hope your year continues to go/grow beautifully.

I’m in the market for a new wand, guess I’ve found it thanks to y’all. Looking forward to seeing Benjamin’s pond being set up. He was sooo cute! 😊💦

Laura, loved the look on your face with the idea of washing the house. 😂 I know that joy. GEKA has one very well thought out line.

I would love that quick connect!! Gonna look for one of those. Please be careful and take care in that heat.❤️

Wow that was really interesting. I think the no threading will be good for us old mares that have problems seeing and arthritis down the road. Thanks for sharing!

“Is it comfortable”? “No, Mommy”. He is so cute 😄

Benjamin is so darn sweet, what a Great big brother he'll be, I'm hoping he'll be looking out for his little sister. I really need to look into getting that lite weight hose. Really enjoyed this unboxing. Sidenote....can we see the planters you guys put at the church sometime in the near future.?!

Pond plants! Yes. New adventure!

Love learning about new garden tools, so thanks for this Laura and Aaron! Went to the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens in Vail, Colorado yesterday as a fun day trip with my hubby and my new favorite plants are the ‘Malva Mallow Alcea Fastigiata’ which is like a wispy-petaled hollyhock bush with pink flowers 🌸 and the ‘Eremurus stenophyllus Foxtail lily.’ They had the yellow-colored ones planted and they look so cool when the bottom flowers die back, since you still have the newer ones on top which gives the flower stem an ombré look. Highly recommend the gardens to all of my fellow GAnswer Peeps out there if you’re visiting Colorado in the summertime. Have a great weekend! Christine in sunny CO

Benjamin is growing so fast! He is adorable😊.

Mention fish and in walks Russell! =D Also cracks me up how kids are more interested in the box than the item inside... so cute when Benjamin sat on it! Those Geka products look awesome and so does that lightweight Gilmore hose! Thanks for introducing them to us!

Very excited about the possible future collab on an aquascape pond. I’ve watched all three of their channels for years now and think it would be a beautiful addition to your property!

Glad you're taking care of yourself. Great watering tools make garden life SO much more satisfying and the thumb valve is my new critical element. Makes hoses much more versatile tools. I also use a version of the quick connect, and they are garden essentials. It has a thumb valve. I set up my hose with one 75-foot, then the shut off valve, then 25 feet. It makes it so easy to change and control the volume of my oscillating sprinklers without getting drenched when they come on. I have ancient sprinklers like that. They last forever.

That quick connect feature is awesome. Good stuff! (Benjamin is precious.)

I’m liking those quick connect devices. Metal is far better than plastic. Maybe Hoselink can up their game in that regard.

We have used Gardena quick connect hose parts, hoses and sprinklers for over 30 years!! Truly wonderful -- so easy too!!

Garden toys! You look like a kid all excited for the pressure sprayer 😉

Most of the geka products are out of stock. Just your endorsement is enough to sell these out. Definitely will be purchasing for next years season. It’s makes my day to watch your videos. Morning tea and garden answer. Nothing better.

Thank you for always being so thorough when you show us new products.

Watering is my biggest headache right now!!! love this info.

Fantastic demo! Thank you 🐶👒💕🐝🌹🎥🍓🐒🐻🦔🐿and of course seeing little benjerman was the icing on the demo!!🤗🤗🤗

Your favorite sprinkler has always been one of my favs too! I do like the idea of the swivel ability on those disconnects as it is hard to get those little sprinklers to lay flat sometimes with my hoses. We bought 2 different hoses and they weren't cheap and the both kink like crazy! Unfortunately neither were Gilmore- will have to find one of those! THanks Laura and Aaron - so enjoy your channel!

wow that is some really nice tools!! I would love the sprinkler but cant find them!! Benjamin was soooooo adorable sitting on the box!! That will be so fun for him!!!

Yay, I'm first! I've recently discovered your channel and have become obsessed with gardening. I've learned so much from you. My 4 year old daughter is a fan as well! Thank you!

How nice of those companies. I like seeing you test them out and now I may have to get the geka catalog! Woot!

your pots by the fence look AMAZING at the end of the video!

because of you I bought my first dram wand. I LOVE it! it is consistently gentle but puts out just the right amount of water. I love to water now just so I can use it! thanks! and thanks for all the great information you shared today. It is really appreciated.

“That’s how I guesstimate footages” 😂

I want to say the grass looks amazing too! Would you mind sharing what kind of grass it is..the brand and type? Would it grow in Texas Zone 8a?? Thanks again for all the time you spend and the sweat working to make things sooo gorgeous!!! You have been gifted and blessed with a wonderful talent...glad to see you happily using it! All my best wishes for your life and family! Marian

Wow!! These look awesome! Never knew they made quick connects for the hose. Love these

The containers behind Laura are just perfectly straight in a row and just beautiful.

Yay! I've been waiting for AGES for you to collab with Team Aquascape and Greg the Pond Guy. Really looking forward to you setting up the mini water garden and I think I have an idea what that "little project" you'll be working with them will be 😉 About water plants, I think any pond plants you can find at your garden center would work. Fully aquatic plants, like the ones used in aquariums usually require strong lighting to grow properly, and some even require pressurized CO2 in the water, although some "low-tech" plants could work for the water garden project. You can usually find live aquarium plants at most local fish/aquarium stores.

Aaahhh! Lil B wants that last box moved to get to Aquascape pond. How tactful! Precious. Lol

Very worthwhile, I learned a lot. Thank you.

Gardening tool research has never been as enjoyable as it is wih you three. I trust your recommendations and really appreciate you taking the time to do this . God bless you all. You're the best!

Hi Laura and Aaron! Those are some really nice gardening accessories! I checked Amazon, too, for the Geka products and none of their products in the links are available, like a LOT of others have said, also, there are no reviews so I definitely wouldn't buy their products. Makes me wonder if they even had any on Amazon. That is such a thoughtful gift from Gilmore. Love the box with Garden Answer on it. We have a couple of the small sprinklers, too, but not sure of the brand and they're really old. I like that they can do a small area. Can't wait to see what you do with the pond and what you will be doing on your new property! How exciting! Thank you so much for sharing!

Doesn’t it make everything you do on your channel seem worthwhile after receiving such a wonderful gift like this Laura and Aaron ... you both truly have blessed us all with your A.M.A.Z.I.N.G content you bring to us on a daily basis ... thank you to the both of you. 💜🙏🏼🌺💚💕🏘💕💚🌺🙏🏼💜
