You made a comment about you not being an educator. I want to tell you that I am a trained educator with a BS degree from BYU. You are a natural teacher. You have been the best teacher for me because I follow your good examples and I am constantly inspired by what you do. Keep doing what you are doing.

Remote operated gate with a guest code and camera. Open in the am and close at night or while away.

I think the production and editing of your videos is fab. I don’t like tedious videos either. You obviously are doing it right with so many subscribers. 👍🏻❤️

Laura to Aaron--- "YOU ARE SUCH A BOY!" Now that made me laugh!!!

Laura you are a sweet heart esp to the questions that are not soo nice or bright lol God bless you and your beautiful family💖🎄

I loved Aaron's Gomphocarpus comment and Laura's reaction. 🤣🤣🤣

It is ok to skip days we understand.😀

PLEASE SKIP DAYS! I can’t imagine being 9 months pregnant, dealing with the rib pain, the insomnia and having a 6-7 day a week job 🥴. Enjoy your holiday season with your family. The best is yet to come! 💝

LOL! Some of those questions and rude comments! My goodness! You're way, way nicer and patient than I am. I don't see how in the world you can stop yourself from rolling your eyes on some of those questions and negative/rude comments. It's amazing to me how some people are perfectly fine with telling you you're right about this or you're wrong about this or even telling you how/when to spend your money. Who raised these people!?!!?

Carpet tiles are cool and all but i work at a flooring store and we sell rolls of cork underlayment that double as sound dampeners that can be glued down. Cork is soft, smooth and cushy under your toes. Any dirt or debris won't have to vacuumed or shampood away. Sweep and done.

Recaps are always my favorite. Oh wait. All your videos are my favorite. About the person that asked if your are pregnant, I have to say the color of your clothes in videos hide your pregnancy very well. So I can see a newbie would not notice right away.

Just wanted to say in regard to the speeding up/slowing down/explaining thing - I would keep doing exactly as you already do, Laura. Your editing style is spot on, which is precisely how you’re at over 1M subs.

Thanks for the recap, it was great to hear Aaron's voice in addition to yours :)

Oh, you have that wrong. You are a wonderful educator !! You just don't realize it. I have taught for years and I've gardened for years. I have learned more from you that I can say! Your amount of knowledge and experience is normal to you but not the average person.

The way that Laura pronounces poinsettia is actually the way you pronounce it in Spanish so it's not wrong. You are correct girl! Own it! You are helping shout out our Hispanic culture here in the US, I love it!

Yes, Laura I bore easily also. Never fast forward in any of your videos. I love your pace and to the point presentation.

HAHA I caught the sass. I agree, helpin out the forest service 😆😉

💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖Lifting you guys up to the Lord for a great delivery and transitioning to two little ones. So much fun!!!💖🙆🏼‍♀️💖🙆🏼‍♀️💖🙆🏼‍♀️💖🙏💖

no worries....we say "poin-setta" up here as well 😁 🇨🇦

Will we get to see baby girls room, like we did with Benjamin? You're glowing!

Laura, don’t push yourself, not only now but in the future as well. I’m find myself wondering if a day will come and you burn out and crash with documenting everyday, it can’t be easy. I appreciate your channel so much, thank you. 🌸🌼🌻🌾🌞 Gardening without thinking. I completely understand that, it’s a feeling I get when it’s right. I go by site and that deep satisfaction feel.

Would you ever think of putting up a gate so people can’t drive on your property?

Have you ever thought about investing in those big privacy gates so that people wouldn’t be able to get on your property without a passcode?

Laura, it's funny you were talking about having to wear sensible shoes, I think I remember watching a video of you and your mother foraging last year at this time and you took wine and cheese and had a wonderful afternoon and while sitting on the tailgate your mother mentioned that you had should start wearing "sensible" shoes it was time hahaha

Good forest management answer. Can't wait to see baby sister!

Oh sorry Laura I did mean your meal. We call it tea time or dinner time. Sorry I should’ve said dinner. 🙂

Please don't ever think that you are Not Educating us because you ARE!!! You are a fabulous instructor! Hugs and kisses to you this cold Wednesday morning!

Actually Laura, you have educated me so much in the gardening world. I always enjoyed my garden, but I have never enjoyed it more than I do now with all of the knowledge I've learned from you. Thank you so much for that. 🌺

Hellebores, and Playin The Blues Salvia is what I hear from your videos that are your fav flowers. ;D

13:45 the look you get when you realize the baby has to come out the hard way 🚼

I love the idea of a Proven Winner's Laura plant! I suggest a Foxglove or a Dahlia as you really loved them both this past summer. How fun would it be to develop that peachy hue you and your Mom love in the garden?! I think Proven Winners would go for it because they would have an INSTANT HIT on their hands. You're too humble to say that yourself, but all of us Garden Answer fans know it to be true!

Just a thought, while we lived in New England we needed hot water outside to melt some snow/ice one year.......we used a garden hose and hooked it up to the hot water heater and then used that hot water....might save Aaron some trucking of buckets, if it happens again..

You mentioned various ideas for flooring in the new studio ... one option to consider, that is aesthetically pleasing and functional, would be indoor/outdoor rugs. I love mine, and when they get dirty, I just use the power washer ... all dirt comes out and does not damage the rugs (so long as the correct ‘tip’ is used 😉).

Congrats on 150k for your 2nd channel.

Thanks for this video, it was fun to have the two of you converse so freely. It must have been such a gift to see the little face of your baby girl....pure magic! I like your sped up videos because I get restless if thing move along too slowly. While watching other presenters I often go into settings and speed up the playback so that I can get content quickly. You do a wonderful job and I love every video. Can't wait for the Christmas light show.

Thanks, Laura, just for being you. I've had a difficult few days and while I do have a great family and a good life, hanging out at your place is such a stress reliever. You are always so upbeat and positive. 🌷💃

Benjamin! So cute when he uses his hands when talking.. lol adorb

You take your time for you and your babies. Don’t feel guilty about it, just do it. You have so many people that understand. We all are behind you 100%. Blessings to you all. 💖

I love having ur videos every morning w my coffee! But please skip a day or 2 if needed. I'm so excited for everything u are doing and for updates.

No Laura, never add oil or butter to your pasta water - it will make your sauce "slide off" and the flavors will not be absorbed by the pasta. I would recommend just lowering the heat slightly so it's at a gentle boil. PS. I'm Italian. lol! Great recipe though!

Aaron's drone videos are amazing! I wouldn't want any looky~loos on my private property either .

I love Laura's sarcasm. Still sweet and smiling😊

I bet you mom's thinking "I told you so" about your Drs comment on your shoes. I remember a foraging video where she comments about your shoes. You guys are such a fun family, and are so relatable. I still think my favorite video is the one where you and your mom hook up a trailer. I want to take a road trip to the garden center some day. Bucket list.

I like the pace of your videos.

LOL. Just back from our local Home Depot. First time ever in many years there were over a dozen brand new water troughs in the front of the garden area. Wonder why there's such a demand now?

Love the recap. You all have so many project going. I love all of them. LOL

Get gates. You deserve privacy. We all are grateful for your work and family sharing their joy with the rest of us. You deserve to be safe, comfortable and free to enjoy your property without fear of strangers taking away your peace of mind. Stay safe!

To avoid pasta boiling over, turn the heat down slightly after achieving a full boil after the pasta is added. Keep adjusting the heat until there is a good steady boil but the starch has stopped constantly rising. Hope this helps. (No oil, no butter needed.)

Your barn doors and new porch light look great! It really appeals to the OCD side of me, I have to have things balanced.

I understand about the “not being an educator” and I understand about wanting to know. But, you are so very creative that to just watch you do things Aaron is correct, you just create and bam it’s beautiful.

Happy holidays.!! Sit. Relax. Enjoy! 💟💟💟💟

I just love these a and a videos. Thanks so much. It feels like we are all sitting around with our coffee, enjoying the view and discussing what you did last week. Relaxing and very entertaining. Tell Aaron to please hurry! We need to see lights! Lol. God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

My guess would be that "Playin the Blues" Salvia is your favorite.

This is the first time in years of watching that you look tired and that is amazing to me...poor thing we don't mind if you take a day off you certainly deserve it!

A lot of people here where I live install gates in their private drives. Ever think of doing that? Some of them are really pretty!

Laura, don't over think it you are a great educator. I do admit it is great to hear your thought process when you design your pots, and garden.

You talked about using pillows for the different holidays and seasons, I do too. I order pillow covers from eBay. You can get beautiful designs that are very reasonably priced. I like the large verity to choose from.

I really like that Aaron is contributing more in commentary. I love the fact that you both are a duel force that work together. And so it's nice to hear both of you conversate about topics.

I laughed so hard at Aaron's comment on gomphocarpus. 😂

Lol Laura’s Fuzzy Spheres! I’m cracking up.

a drone video would be cool! Have you guys ever done that before? I guess its not very garden related but whenever aaron does his tech equipment video that should definitely be in it! I was curious do you just fly it straight out of the bed of the truck? Maybe just more footage of the drone going up or something I'm intrigued. The foraging video was sooo nice well done you guys the videos and content just keep getting better and better 😊👌👌👌

I’m originally from Texas and we say poi-en-setta. When I hear poinsett-i-a...makes me feel ick. 😂

Thank you for answering my question concerning the metal topiary. I didn’t find it on Wayfair, but I found something similar on eBay.

I just had to laugh at 'Tea 'and Laura's confusion. Pretty sure the individual who asked abt tea are from the south of England, 'tea' meant dinner, or the main meal for the day, i.e. supper.

I’m a Canadian from the prairies, and I pronounce poinsettia as you do - ‘pointsetta’. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The Blue Salvia is definitely your favorite

Have y’all considered an estate gate? (And call box for vendors? The offer minor security but they keep your property private and they create an definitive entry portal. You could frame it with some grand Henry studio planters (and more Christmas lights!)

Growing up, my kids called the roadside mower/trimmer machine “Moyer the Destroyer” because they hated the way the evergreens looked afterwards. 😆 I agree

I just wanted to say that every time I watch a video with both Laura and Aaron in it. I feel the love they have for each other. I think it's so sweet the way they look at each other after so long and wish that my spouse and I react in the same way. Love your videos and the warmth you bring to KZfaq. Thanks for the inspiration and Happy Holidays!!!

We had a house that the lawn was so unlevel and I wasn't interested in a concrete sidewalk. We heard about the stall matt's and used them for our side walk .I LOVED it. My land scape involves lots of rocks.i think it would be great to use in place of the tile in your studio.. also I have a 7 year old grandson that loves watching your videos. That precious baby girl will be here soon. You take care . We enjoy watching

What is most precious right now is you feeling good and rested for baby girl and Benjamin. I love your videos. 🥰🎄 can’t wait for Christmas light show!

Carpet tiles are usually just squares. They do squeeze together as you install them. Good thing about them is if one piece gets gets ruined, easy to replace that one square. I have seen some that look awesome and classy.

For those carpet squares, you could look into places like Restore or building supply auctions, you could pick then up really cheap. We used them in our shop and got some at an auction for our catio spending anywhere from .25 to .75 per 12in to 18in square. Sometimes you just get lucky.

The evening meal is called 'tea' here in Australia... Well in South Australia at least x

I made the butternut pasta recipe. It was delicious! Thank you for recommending! On your favorite plant question- I bet if you counted the most mentioned plant on your channel, it would be Play in the Blue Salvia.

Laura when you said you're not an educator,..I was like YES YOU ARE!!!! I have been gardening for 20 years,..but have done WAY MORE in the last 3 years than all my gardening years put together, thanks to you! I have accomplished more than I ever imagined I could do ! I learn SOOOOOO Much from you,..and Gardening has become one of my most cherished gifts in this life. Thanks again Laura and Aaron for such a fabulous fabulous channel!

The look on your face when Aaron suggested the gomphocarpus. Omg I laughed so hard

The spoon did not stop any of my pots from boiling over.

Would you consider gating your property with some type of decorative “soft” gate? Whatever soft gate means 😉

Laura and Aaron, I love the pace of your videos! You strike just the right balance by speeding up repetitive actions and following these up with a talk-through. That’s one of the (many) appeals of your channel! Not a bit tedious! Keep up the great work!

I think a hellebore would be worthy as a "Laura variety"

Come to Estacada, OR (Christmas tree capital!) Yes many Christmas tree farmers grow trees just to sell the bows. 🙋🏼‍♀️ My husband and I grow Christmas trees and would love to share any educational tips 😘

My neighbors have their bushes cut a little low, and now I know it must be for a “borrowed view” of our grass. Never heard that term before.

I'm the same about grass and trees and pathways. When we built our house and moved in July it was not till Oct 31st. that we got grass, trees and our walkway and it drove me crazy till we did. My poor husband survive me till then and I became a happy camper.

Yes, I like the speed in your videos. Keeps my interest too. Yes, I like your structure preferences, green area, evergreens, hard structure, floral areas, flow, repeated patterns

Nurse here! Can I just say your channel has provided a whole new level of love for gardening for me and has been such an inspiration. With ultrasounds they can be off 2-3 lbs. So that estimated weight is often wrong. So don’t panic, that 6lbs could actually be 4 lbs. Thanks for all the videos, they really have helped relieve stress during this pandemic ❤️

Also I love how honest and open you are. Clearly so does everyone else or you wouldn't have a million subscribers.

In my city (town), HD has always given me stellar customer service and I like their Ryobi products. Lowe's doesn't seem to train their employees adequately nor do they keep inventory well-stocked but I only go to check out their clearance plants.

My daughter was Benjamin’s age when she got her sister. She was totally awesome until sis began to have an opinion about things - especially a different opinion. They’ve been arguing ever since 😉. Hopefully they’ll start getting along better once they’re older and not having to share the same space so much.

I love hearing his input also.

Laura, I love the style of your videos and judging by your number of subscribers, I think you demonstrate and teach us all perfectly. I get bored of a lot of people I follow but for some reason, I could watch your videos for hours. You are never boring. I love how you do not get bent out of shape when people make silly comments or judgemental comments. Stay the course and go with your gut feeling. You inspired me to dig up my whole backyard this summer which was weeds taller than 5 feet and by watching you, I had the confidence to plant over 100 perennials with my husband. We had a ball and it was all thanks to watching your videos. You make everything look so easy and I must say, for that reason, we went ahead with this project. It was super hard but so satisfying. Thank you for being you!

45 minutes? Dang. I drive 45 min and I’m still in the same city. LOL

I think the wooden spoon thing is an old wives tale or something - it's never worked for me either. lol

Laura, I used to watch a lot of different videos, however, when I ran into yours I didn't look back. Not trying to put anybody down; I just noticed you were to the point, a great teacher, positive, caring and full of life. Not boring because you don't drag your videos. Being a public speaker myself, I can say you are what people are enjoying and looking to learn from, at the same time relax. So, thank you❣

I’m like you, “get to the point”. I enjoy watching the videos that you speed up. I think there’s a good mix of how you guys create all of your videos. Thank you for all the hard work both of you do. It’s definitely made me look at and care for my garden more, especially with using fertilizers. The only thing I wish, is that my garden looked like just one of your spaces. They are all so pretty. I love gardening, but struggle with how to plant a beautiful rectangle garden in my small townhome backyard. ☹️🌳🌸🌲

I think a gate would be a good idea for you to pursue. Also, I agree with you, Laura. I like the sped up videos. Slow with lots of talking just frustrate me I skip so I can see the end result. My vote is for you to stay with your style you have 👍. I like your style

23:21 you should! Because it’s long overdue to being verified. I live in northern WI but grew up in ND so Midwest all the way lol and we say poinsettia the way you do 🤷‍♀️ how does impatient gardner, Erin say it? 😂🤔😜 *edited* just to add as the video’s continued - been a fan for years! you guys are really so wonderful - thank you 💗

I'm NE Ohio and say Poinsettia the same as you do.

My closest Lowe’s is also 45 min away but it’s so worth it to go there between the better options and clearance plants 😄

I think beautifully handcrafted wrought iron electronic gates at the entrance of your property would be a solution for security and privacy! I can just imagine the gates with large green wreaths that Laura has made through her forage finds and Aaron would have a reason to decorate the gates with Christmas lights! Win, win!!! I so enjoy your channel(s) and all your inspiration! Merry Christmas!!!
