Gets me excited!! IM SO OVER WINTER! & the cold 🥶 & the grey skies & the snow!!! ❄️ IM OVER IT!!!! Good morning everyone!

Talk to a local landscaper and ask them for the pots and flats after they plant a big job. That is how I get a huge number of supplies for free!

Wow, your parents can leave product outside the store when the Garden Centre is closed and no one will take it 😲😲😲, that's wonderful 😀.

Laura I recently retired and you have given me the inspiration to start gardening in my retirement years. Did gardening with my dad back when I was younger and I treasure those memories. Also did food preservation from that garden with mom. Gives me much a sense of satisfaction. Thank you!

Your coldframes on the side of the Hartley would be a perfect place to raise your lettuce. Prop the windows open so it stays cool, but kept from freezing...they'd LOVE it!

Fresca, geraniums and flip flops: three of my favorite things! Thanks for inserting the pictures of the flowers when you talk about them !! Love this channel ❤️

FUNGUS GNAT P.S.A. - mix 3 parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide and throughly water plants/soil. It kills the eggs and larvae in the soil and also acts as an oxygenator/fertilizer for the plants. Typically only have to do 2, maybe three, waterings and the gnats are gone. It’s also great to do as a preventative for new plants (especially houseplants) and soil.

Yay the busy music is back, that means planting days are approaching ☺️

Veggies with the google eyes…so darn cute! 🥰 your and your sister and mother are so creative…a wonderfully creative team.

Is there a chance we can get an evening tour? I noticed you have some patio lights in the greenhouse and I think it probably looks so whimsical. I would also love to see what the flower shed and Hartley look like in the evening with lights on.

I usually grow outside in the yard! I start my tomatoes inside and my green peppers are in a mesh bag in pots out on my lettuce table. So glad you have had such great success with your flowers and other plants!

The geraniums look incredible!

Thank you for sharing the struggles as well as the successes, Laura! I learn something new every time you have trouble with a new tray of seedlings. Your channel has always been an excellent classroom for me as a relatively new gardener. ♥️

Sandals and a coat - you’re a woman after my own heart! Great message to consider how many seeds you start early to potting up and space. Wish I had thought of that before I planted my seeds - yikes! I learn so much from you. Love your channel!

Love the winter coat with the flip flops 🩴

20 degrees, rainy and Laura is wearing slides and no socks! Pushing it a bit LOL! Would so love to start geraniums from seed.

I would love to have a running tab at a garden center. That would be too cool

I bought those tongs from Gardeners Supply and they are a game changer when repotting seedlings. Thank you Laura for showing those to us in a previous video.

9:47 Plants are just so beautiful! I love that you can have your parent's nursery to privately shop at! 😄🌻-Cara

You're so prepared this year, aspiring to be like you one day!

Good morning

That 3 tier plant stand behind you is lovely. ❤

Laura. On the long flats that have the ones on the ends reaching inward. Turn your flats around so the light starts pulling them back the other direction. Should help the situation.

The curtain under the sink looks great! I think the gray fabric was the best choice.

Everything looks so vibrant and beautiful...I want a greenhouse like that..I could just live in it !

Good morning!! Laura’s wearing sandals already!! Lol! That lettuce looks so good and the geraniums too. Looking forward to planting this season.

Yes, those fungus gnats are a menace. But, this winter has been wonderful, very few gnats, maybe one a week. I resently found out why that is. My house plants have a winter unheated room in the house. Then, we add a new pretty dog crate to the livingroom. I was able to moved some of the houseplants to sit atop the crate. Gorgeous. One day as I was watering those plants something moved... A lovely little frog. Who I assume came in the house with the plants in October. I named it Jewel. My husband named it Waldo because we have to hunt for it every day. ( where Is Waldo? ) He is happy, I'm happy and so are my plants.

A couple of weeks ago I came across two boxes of tulips in my garage that I didn't have time to plant last fall and after watching you I was inspired to plant them up in indoor planters that is, and now they are all coming up, yeah😁

I am so inspired by you Laura, thank you so much for the way you share your knowledge and to Ken/Aaron, for the amazing video formats 🙏😍👏

It's raining beautifully here in Peoria Arizona. Another perfect day to watch Garden Answer. Thank you Laura & Aaron & family & kitties and your extended families for all the fun. Have an awesome day!

Good morning, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇸 Oh my goodness, I'm loving all of your Seedlings, especially the Dusty Miller and your Hibiscus 🌺 Your cut Garden is going to be gorgeous. Happy Gardening Everyone 👩‍🌾 👍 💓 ♥️Peggy♥️

Love the lettuce. They’d make great temporary houseplants😀

Laura, this is my first year growing flowers from seed and I also struggled with a huge fungus gnat infestation. I saw someone recommend nematodes (they arrive as a "tea bag" that you put in a watering can). You just have to treat them twice (about 1-2 weeks apart), and it really worked for me! I've only treated once so far, but I've seen a dramatic reduction in gnats (like only one or two have been flying around). I feel pretty confident the second treatment will be the last of it!

I appreciate that you show some fails now and then. Most of my flowers by seed, are fails. Love watching your processes!

Good morning Laura so love your videos they are so calming and informative the flowers look. Awesome

Wow, Laura, you have been really successful with your starts. Your flower garden is going to be magnificent! I absolutely love the raised bed lettuce. So pretty.

Hey Laura! I know this might not be the fanciest solution. But when I’m replanting my seedlings at this stage I usually just use a solo cup with a hole in the bottom. Just an idea when you need that size pot in a pinch. Love your video!

Good morning Garden Answer! Have a blessed week everyone!🤗❤️

I'm so glad you showed your lisianthus. I sowed seeds on 2/7, under lights and I need a magnifying glass to see that they have germinated and some even have a second set of leaves! I doubt they will be big enough to plant out when the weather says it's time. Thanks for giving me hope for them! But then the ranunculus grow so fast! Your lettuces look so vibrant and gorgeous. And I am fascinated to see that you grow geraniums from seed; how exciting for you to watch all this growth around you.

We have such a short season here I always pot up so I can enjoy the flowers longer. I plant between 2 and 3 thousand each year. Plus I always buy new varieties...it's an addiction. I just love to pops of color from annuals in my perennial beds.

What a spring and summer show your gardens will be more beautiful! You are great to have as a resource 🌞

Wow! Those veggies look great. I love how all you ladies work together to accomplish your successes.

FRESCA!! ❤ I just *knew* we were soul sistuhs!! 😂

Hello Laura! The seedling looks amazing! I really love geraniums. I wish you continued success👍🌿😘💛💙

I love this time of year--seed starting and transplanting! Just FYI, many penstemon seeds require cold, moist stratification before they will germinate.

Have faith! My Lisianthus look just like yours, itty bitty with fungus gnats and all. I made the mistake of transplanting them last year thinking they might need more room and lost most of them so this year I’m leaving them alone. Your videos have encouraged me to try new varieties of plants and I’ve set up my indoor light system to grow my own. How very gratifying to see how these tiny seeds grow into something so beautiful! Thank you!

Hi Laura, I just love watching your videos they have been such an inspiration for me as I have chronic health issues - I also live in Queensland, Australia zone 10 or 11 (sun-tropical) but even though different climates, I learn sooo much, but just enjoy the channel even more. I wanted to mention about fungus gnats… I have loads of houseplants and was loosing the battle when I learned about ‘Pure’ Cinnamon sprinkled over the top of soil. I learned it from watching Indian KZfaq videos and ever since I very rarely see even 1. Must be the Pure cinnamon, you can get it at health food stores, not the kitchen stuff. Hope it helps.

I am celebrating today because I am finally seeing evidence of my lisianthus growing their first set of true leaves after 6 long weeks. They are sloths.

My Lisianthus looks about the same as yours I was happy that they are actually as big as they are! I scraped my algae off just this week and also trying not to overwater! I am running out of space but so happy to have so many plants doing well! Once the temperatures stay above freezing I can move the less tender plants to my sun porch! ☘️☘️🌿🌿😁

Learned so much from you today again. Especially helpful how you showed the different stages your seedlings were in and you explained wether or not you would keep the dome off or how long you’d still keep those on.

Oh my your well on your way to your plants starting to grow. Feels like spring at your place.

Exciting times! New life warms my heart ❤️

Spring is just around the corner.....down jacket and sandals!!!!❤❤❤

I’ve been told that when you buy soil, there’s probably fungus gnats eggs in it that either you pour boiling water over it and mix it in before you use it what I did and I put it in the deep freeze for like three days and so far this year I don’t have any fungus gnats. I hope that’s what fix the situation because I know I have bought soil in different places and brought it home and even in some of my cactus soil had them.

Thanks so much for the seed planting video about the geraniums! You inspired me and I purchased the Maverick orange. Like you, I just up-potted mine. I’ve always grown geraniums but never from seed. How fun! Had I known how well they would germinate and grow, I would have planted the whole pack! Next year! Thank you!

Good Morning Garden Answer Fans and Lovers. It's a delight to visit in the Hartley and the greenhouse and see all the beautiful plants and flowers and to watch Laura planting. Seedling tours are super helpful too! Thanks for Everything Laura! Could the Ranuculous be potted up for the cold frames attached to the Hartley? Looks as if the second lot of Hyacinths, that were there, have been moved inside now. Would love to see the largest arrangement of Hyacinths in bloom! Peace and Love. Spring is Near.

Thank you for sharing all the wonderful seedlings.

Morning Sweet Laura.Your starts look so great , one more week to Spring. My seedlings our looking ready to go our side. Have a great day, Wanda In Ok.

Love to watch your seeds grow. This is so calming and amazing, little miss green hands, not just green thumb

Seeing what the seedlings look like is so helpful. TY.

Hi Laura! I love the veggies in the windows. They are so cute. Great job!

All the seeds are looking great! 😊

Good Morning! 🌞 I enjoy watching the process! All the seedlings look great!! 😃🌱💚🌿

All the seedlings look fantastic!

Glad to see you wearing your sandals

Love these update videos of seed growing. Always interesting and something to learn.

I love the elbow approach to the levered door knob access . I switched my exit doors to my patios to levers . Whether carrying food or plantings, so handy!!❤️❤️❤️

Love these videos. They are very informative and educational. Also, makes me excited for spring!

Use peroxide solution to water your plants that have fungus gnats. 1part hydrogen peroxide, 4parts water. It will fizz in the soil. The hydrogen peroxide just breaks down into harmless oxygen and water molecules. It will not harm your plants, is also great for the roots. 🌱🫡💐🫶🏻🙏🏻

I purchased those tongs. Huge difference. So easy to get plants out. Thank you for the tip,❤️

WOW there coming up amazing. Those lettuce are so so cute. You definitely have a green thumb darling. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. Appreciated.💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Bravo! They all look great!

Those Artichokes! I'm so excited for you. I bought seeds last year and when I received the package, it was crammed with seeds (80) and had a note that germination rate was very low. Sadly, none sprouted. Maybe next year.

I love how prepared you are! Your videos are always so i spiring!!! 🧡❤️💜💙💚 Liz from California

Those geraniums are so pretty! I'm looking forward to seeing everything in bloom! I've experienced the same exact thing with lisianthus! This is my third year growing them, and they look ridiculously small, even though I started them in early January. I love watching your videos! Thanks for all you do!

Soo cute!! Yall did great with the windows. U can see em as well.

Great job on the seedlings. They are looking great. Thanks for sharing!

Sandals in a winter coat! Love It

Good morning you always make my day Thanks to you I start my journey and Gardening..

Lol, Laura’s repotting to the music 😂 if that was intentionally timed to speed up to match it was very well done! And the Garden-center window looks amazing! Love the google 👀 veggies! 🍓🥦🥕✌🏻🙏🏼❤️

I only wish I had space for a green house, I have an awesome potting shed I would love to put a lean to green house on, watching you every day makes me want to be more productive with growing things. As always Thank You Laura.

So happy to see where your lisianthus are at this stage. I give myself a seed starting challenge every year and this year, it's lizzies. They came up after about two+ weeks and haven't budged since. Tiny things that I would have scrapped, but hanging in there due to your advice that they take off when they get outside. Fingers crossed. (I know first hand now why everyone says to buy plugs)

Hey GA family! Gorgeous seedlings! And those ranunculus roots! My goodness! Did I miss hollyhock seedlings? I just started mine a week ago and was wondering how yours were doing Hope everyone is having a wonderful day 🌞

Try small glass jar or little container with a smaller opening at the top put vinegar in it natural go in it and drowned set it around your plants dump it every week and renew it with fresh vinegar

A fresh glass of Fresca for Russel !

Hi Laura! Everything is looking good! TFS!

You inspired me to plant some seeds today.

Maybe a fun experiment to try with the fungal gnats- carnivorous plants! Sundews have sticky leaves that would probably work well for tiny little gnats. I don’t recall ever seeing you grow carnivorous plants? It might be a good excuse to make some content in them. And I bet Benjamin would find them pretty fascinating at the age he’s at right now 😊

I always learn something/get a new idea from your videos

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day 🥰

Love the window display!

Oh please always show things that have gone wrong. Things always go wrong for me. And it really helps to know that even someone who is as experienced as u has problems. Makes us all feel like less of a failure 😅

I love those tongs - definitely worth the price 👍👍

Love seeing the updates on all your seedlings! Wondering if you have had any germination or sprouts on your Winter Sowing jugs? Would love an update on those too!

oooooooh, you're wearing sandals !! I am so jealous! (looks out at deep snow 🏔❄🏂)

Good morning Laura and family Sandals! we have the same thing in common Spring. Your seedlings 🌱 look great. Thank for the information on the fungus gnats I noticed some In my sunroom I used cinnamon but I'm definitely getting some Gnatrol, baxillus thuringiensis, thanks Laura. Have a great rest of the day. 👋🙂🌱

Hi Laura , fungus Nat trap of a bowl of water with a few drops of dish soap it attracts them by reflecting the light on the water. Good luck and happy gardening. I'm gardening in a smaller space now , the bugs got really bad and this worked amazingly.

Thank you Laura!🥰

I’m convinced now! For years I’ve been intimidated by growing from seed. Looked for excuses - no space or not enough light, easier to buy from the nursery, etc. But one can totally get a compact seedling cart and see where it takes you! Than you Laura ❤

You do such an amazing job inspiring all of us all the time. Do you ever run out of ideas? And if so who do you look to for inspiration to keep your creativity going?
