Oh Laura. Never doubt yourself. There is a reason you and Aaron have over a million followers. You speak a language we all need. I’m so thankful you do what you do. I’m 81 and would call myself a new gardener. It’s never too late! And you have inspired me. ❤️

Love how much Russell loves his lady! The way he watches you! So sweet!

You have inspired me to move on to the next phase of my life. I have raised my children and they are off living their lives. I have always loved plants and the scent of soil. As a child I loved working in the dirt. My stepfather loved roses. He gave me that gift. So when I discovered you my love of gardening reawakened. I have had SO many pleasurable hours since I discovered Garden Answer. I am no spring chicken, and I don’t have any help gardening, but I have found a way to make it work for me, despite my age, and I am so grateful! It is the joy of this time of my life! I am THRILLED by all the things I see you and Aaron accomplishing. Yes, like any change, it can be a little intimidating but it is really WONDERFUL and exciting! Maybe someone would volunteer their time to submit a garden design to you both! I DO understand your attitude towards ‘committees’. I have always preferred to work on my own. The big changes are in process, so hang on for the ride, DOCUMENT everything (you won’t regret that) and before you know it, it will be done-so goes life!

I think you are so loved because you are willing to be vulnerable, admit strengths and weakness, share your life and just be you. New follower and I now am a Garden Answer groupie. ❤️❤️❤️

Laura, you just look fantastic, no one would guess you just had a baby three weeks ago! Thank you for this video, as always I learned something new! Hugs from SC! 🌻👩🏼‍🌾🌻

Aaron is very observant and knowledgeable of human behaviour .

Laura, you are your own brand! You're an amazing person.. creative on steriods.. and very capable by yourself! You need to trust your instincts. You have excellent taste and you can hold your own with the best gardening personalities in the world! I have learned so much from you.. I am blown away with all your videos. Thank you for all the inspiration. Aaron is very awesome too! Very talented guy across the board! His Christmas light show every year is absolutely fantastic!!..God bless you both.

You have been there for so many of us with gardening, flowers and veg gardens. You have blessed us with your time, God has blessed you with a gift of helping! THANK YOU!

When Aaron mentioned you go it alone and don't do "committees", I really felt that in my soul. Meetings are the worst!

You all are doing great with the recaps, I got so tickled with the “who are you” little boy and Frazier running with scissors. 😂😂😂😂 On another note, I totally deleted Facebook due to to much unbalance on everything. But I didn’t drop it till I knew I could get you on utube And am so much happier. Love your family and all the antics ❤️❤️

For the Berried Treasures Berry seeds questions: Proven winners doesn’t send them in a bubble envelope or anything. I got my first order and there were like 3 viable seeds out of 15. The rest was dust. I reached out. Customer service was great. They shipped me more. Same problem. About to reach out again. Beware.

I agree with the swing idea. Also maybe a treehouse. Let their imagination fly!!!

I can't wait to see you and your mother having a tea party in your new gazebo with Samantha Grace. What a great place to have Birthday parties and tell Aaron he needs to plan for a Christmas tree in the center all light up this Christmas. Would make a great drone shot. So excited for all the changes to come.

I busted out laughing when you said “drop kick that hose”! Lol. Been there done that!

Ok throwing in the clip of Frasier running with the scissors killed me. 💀💀💀🤣🤣

I saw your native landscape when you were cleaning the tumbleweeds off your fence! 😉😉😎

Laura you have such a healthy approach to life which is why so much good comes to you. (Can’t believe someone noticed paint on your coat lol) 😂 your response was priceless Classic Laura! I guess I’ll find out... meaning you heard about it Aaron asked you about it and you still could not care less... bigger priorities in life who cares about a coat! We’re getting a Hartley!

The picture of mars sent me 🤣🤣🤣

It is so funny that you think at times that you don't know what you are doing. AND ALL of us come to you for Garden Advice. You create Beautiful Gardens. Never Question Your Talents. We Love You and You are doing an Amazing Job 💖💖💖

These edits 🤣🤣🤣 I died with the scissors and playset

Hands down the BEST play set is a great climbing tree!!!! Plant some kind of tree that will give branches to climb on and maybe build a treehouse!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Are there any plans to have Aaron do drone shots over the areas you are renovating so that you have shots of all the changes from overhead

The sand table idea is GENIUS!!!! Hope you make one! The littles will love it, for sure!! 💕

I am a grandmother and one tip I have concerning a playset is to place it where you can view your children playing while you are working. I placed mine in front of my kitchen window area so I can prepare meals and still keep an eye on my grandchildren. I know you work in many areas around your property but I would choose a spot where you work the most.

as a lady who has cleaned homes for almost 40 years my first thought on the beautiful Hartley green house is how do you keep all that glass clean. lol running with the scissors what hysterical ..

Tire swing by the garden would be charming. Or a wood plank swing.

Oh, Russell! 😍 I wish my cat Neb would sit with me like Russell does. I noticed he sits closer to you since Samantha Grace was born. 😊

Dear Laura, Thank you for sharing your vulnerability!!! You bring such a "human" side to everything you do! I absolutely love your natural nurturing methodology (which translates onto EVERYTHING you do! ... from how you plant, decorate, cook, "mother your children" (including your 4-legged ones) AND the WONDERFUL LOVING, PLAYFUL Banter that you and Aaron share!!!! **My prayer to you and your family is that you continue to illuminate your light with the same passion (and vulnerability) ON EVERYTHING YOU DO!!!

It amazes me that people are so concerned about your business. Why should there be any opinions on what you do with your outdoor furniture or “anything” you want to change.Why have to go into all the reasons you give your stuff away or replace.-as if you must meet approval. You spent a lot of time explaining why! We love you for plant info and to see your beautiful results🌺 come on people, just sit back and enjoy the beauty and these nice people who let us watch them work their magic❤️

I just started watching and had to smile at the kitty by your side. He adores you! ❤️

I think doubling the size of the greenhouse would take away from the look of a whimsical greenhouse at your home and would make it look more like a business plopped on your property

In my experience, babies usually get fussier around 4 weeks ☺️ especially during the witching hour! You guys are great parents!

OMG! I'm crazy over Russell and his camera hog appearance's when I least expect it!

Laura, you are so sassy! I love it. Do what you must with your stuff. Much love

At the beginning of this video, Cheddar was looking up at you with the sweetest face. The love he has for you was so evident. Love the recap videos.

My favorite comment in this video is "I am not a committee girl." I hear ya sister. I have no doubt everything is going to be gorgeous. We have faith in you (over a million followers have faith in you!)

For the greenhouse Christmas lights: Maybe Hartley has a suggestion of what can be done as it’s being built to make adding lights easier? I’m sure other owners light theirs up.

Instead of a swing set, consider some smooth pathways through your property. Benjamin is the perfect age for a balance bike. He’ll go directly from that to a two-wheeler, to a scooter, and the list is long. He and Samatha Grace will still be using them in their teen years.

Very excited to see all the big changes in your garden this year! Please, trust yourself to design without professional guidance - it's a huge part of your channel's charm. Your EVERY garden success and failure is inspiration - reminding us that we CAN do it ourselves - that our gardens are most beautiful when they are evolving & personal, not perfect. Gratefully looking forward to the next steps of this journey with you both!

You amaze me. How do you still have so much energy with a new born and a young child.

Yes! Russell got his spot back. (Grin) What I enjoy about your videos, is how you speak to me. It's like you and I are walking through the garden talking. Does that make sense? And of course, Aaron always makes me smile. Glad you are adjusting to the new wee one's schedule, I know it is hard. It is worth it in the end though. Thanks for sharing. Hi Benjamin! Hey, Benjamin, I saw an earth mover working last week. It was moving so much earth at one time, really cool! Stay safe.

Omg the running with scissors killed me. Love you guys so so much. Your content brings pure joy.

I totally agree about the color naming, just call it what it is!! Calling a purple/lavender flower blue won't make it so.

I always wanted 3 kids, but after having our 2nd, my husband didn't want them to outnumber us, so we stopped!

Laura do not ever question yourself. I am amazed at your vision. You have helped me so much this past year, I really appreciate your knowledge and you personality is so pleasant. Keep up the good . I look forward to all your new plans.

I LOVE all your ideas, from the greenhouse to the shed, every bit of it! You and your family will enjoy all this for years to come! Absolutely love it! ❤

Hi Laura, Have you watched Bunny Guinness a British garden designer on KZfaq. I think you’re going to love her still. Wishing you and Aron a lot of fun designing your new garden spaces.

Hahaha......"I'm not a committee girl." 😂 Me either 🤦🏻‍♀️

I just want to point out that I've noticed how warm you and Aaron are with each other. It's very sweet. I love seeing your little family grow and how you two seem to really be thriving together.

I am old enough to remember when we used mayo to make plant's leaves shine.

That 1st pic of your native landscape 🤣 🤣 🤣

This was a fun, sweet recap! Felt like chatting with friends. Yes, I can’t wait to see baby walking!

Beautiful mug by the way!

Aaron is going to need the Felco Power Series, backpack, pole extension, battery operated pruners!!! OH YEAH!!! Did anyone else have this ad start shortly after Laura talked about Aaron and the rose orchard? Love this channel, can't wait for the years of gardening videos!

ROFLOL Aaron! Ha, the inserted clip of Frazier from Cheers running around the bar was one of my favorite Cheers episodes! Totally a fitting use for it! And Laura, lol. "nope, I'm already in it so might as well own it". Just keep being you! Be Blessed & Continue Being a Blessing to others!

Love the information that comes out of these recaps.

I’m excited to see the changes...we’ll get to see lots of new and pretty things happen! I personally thought the gazebo was oddly shaped and in a weird spot...it appeared to block the view. That new greenhouse is going to look amazing!

You are a joy to watch. Your excitement for gardening shines through. I’m so happy that you’re getting your greenhouse!

When you showed a picture of the Cedar Works play set boy did that take me back. My older son is 22 and when he was 3 we were looking for a play set and found Cedar Works. Beautiful play sets but pricey. My husband and father-in-law are pretty handy so we used some of the ideas we saw and ended up building our own. My boys were both very active and needed that physical play time. As long as it was ok to be outside, they were out using play set. If we thought of what we spent versus how much it was used, it was so worth it.

Hi Laura . I'm moving from Canada to the U.S. I totally feel your emotions . On starting a new garden. I'm up and down about leaving my established garden. But Excited to break ground for my new Garden . All the best to you and your family and your new Adorable Samantha Grace !

oh goody, another video. All the flower talk aside, I just love how Russell adores you. I think it's great that you still let him know how much you love him. He still can come up on your lap for lovies.

Laura, I said that two was enough and God had other plans. Best thing that happened to our family. Love your show.

OMG! I nearly split my side's laughing at that inserted clip "running with scissors"!!!

You two, your home, property and your channel give me hope and motivation to keep on, despite this chaotic crazy world right now. Thanks so much and never quit what you are doing.

Just go for it with all your changes, I see it as finally getting to make this garden your own. It reminds me of you telling us, if you don’t love it get rid of it. Love the changes and will really enjoy your journey. I too love English garden design, my dream would be to have Bunny Guinness and Jack Barnwell design my garden. Bunny’s latest garden video on KZfaq is to die for, I love how she creates garden rooms. She has creative ways to save money on structures or the bones of a garden. Thank you for all your inspiration.

Aaron you should watch "Little People, Big World" in their early seasons. Their dad made some amazing play structures for on their farm. It makes sense when families are home bodies.

Agreeing with you on color names in the gardening world. Call it what it is!

This is an idea for the pay set. plant a climbing tree and use the tree to attach a plastic slide for the kids to come down. On another branch put a swing or two. When the kids outgrow the play set you remove the swing and slide and keep the beautiful tree. :) I really hope you read my comment. Enjoy watching you videos and your beautiful family.

I love the weekly recaps, it's helpful to hear your thoughts/tips after a video has been released. I remember after you had Benjamin saying that 1 was enough so.... lol

Yeah I had a simple playset and my 2 kids got bored with it quicker than I thought they would. Then I got sick of looking at it not being used. It's only lots of fun when there's a gang of kids playing on it together.

We made the grandkids a swing and treehouse with ladder and rock wall with a slide from the treehouse with sand box under treehouse

Shines Plant Leaves: Our Saturday morning dusting chores....1970's (once a month ?) included: > wiping the leaves with a cotton ball dipped in Milk! Dusts & Shines the leaves beautifully. (These days... a larger/lint free, cotton make-up remover Pad would be perfect)

Just want to say a big thank you for your videos and your passion! I’ve learned so much from you and as I’m newly putting my gardens together I always go back to your videos if I need help! Thank you Laura and your family!

Yes I have one of those hoses I walk halfway across the yard water realize this hose got a kink in it have to walk all the way back unkink those is aggravating

Ok girl, time to up your Orchid game!! Go Heartly!!

Concerning all the changes being made in your landscape.... it's sooo hard to change the familiar comfortable things.... but by adding new, you build the future instead of staying in the past.... yes, it's hard but a few years after the greenhouse is built, it will be like it was always there and it will become the familiar comfortable thing.... ❤️

I love these highlights videos😁 So informative and just fun to hang out with you two. Glad Aaron is mic-ed up also🎤

Some of us haven’t been with you as long as others. It would be nice to have an episode of all tools, fertilizers, favorites, things like Captain Jacks, etc. and proper way to use each. You last video is old. Updates aren’t bad. You can highlight why you have changed or added items. Love all you do.

The sandbox is a great idea, but kids need to be able to climb, too. I don't know if they still make them, but our kids had the T-shaped swing set that wasn't huge, but had all the things--climbing, swings and a slide. Not beautiful, but they spent hours on that thing every day!

I hope you do a rose garden! Watching you plant David Austin roses made me finally buy 2 and I am going to buy more this year.

Thank you! You are such an inspiration! Love watching your videos!

The last comment was so true. I'm not into potting plants or big vase displays, but you have taught me so much about pest control, pruning, and plant types other than what are always in the big box stores year after year. I thought I knew plenty about veg gardening, but I never thought about a second crop later in the season. We never used garlic cloves in cooking just garlic powder, but now I have a row I planted in the fall for the first time ever. So you teach us all in one way or another. Thank you both so much.

You got this girl! You are where you were born to be, believe me! We love watching you, and do, every time you are on! Your accomplishments are amazing, you give us so much content and beauty, not to mention education. And Aaron is a wonderful mate for you, you work well together and apart, he learns different aspects of your gardening world as needed and as time goes by, and as you prosper and grow together. You two have made a beautiful family and life together. I pray God continue to bless and keep healthy your sweet family. With Love, Norma (from Florida)

I’m excited, I got my first two lemon cypress. I can’t wait to get some of these new perennials. I get something new every year. Thanks for all you teach me and help me get motivated to get out in my yard. So excited to see the new green house in place of the gazebo. Excited to see that gazebo at your town park

Getting rid of facebook was the best decision I made. You should definitely get rid of facebook!!

It’s totally ok to enlist a collaborator or second opinion person! You are such a kind and talented soul! I am Sooo relaxed when I watch you. And I think you are an Aaron are AMAZING brave adventurers!

this season would be a great time to focus on perfecting the part of your garden behind your home! maybe putting the rose garden in that formal section in the back you hardly touch!

Why don’t you check out John Carloftis in Lexington, Ky? He has a beautiful historic home and garden and a Hartley greenhouse with a chandelier. He is a landscape designer and loves to entertain. Often the greenhouse is used for dinner parties.

Great recap. Loved it so much. Thank you so very much for sharing.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

What a lovely cheerful exciting video. you have such great things in store for you this year that we all are just enjoying the ride!

If you consider a sandbox remember you have two cats and they will use it as their litter box. 🐈 🐈

I recently read to shine leaves on plants ......use the inside of a banana peel ! It’s works , plants look fine 🌻🤷🏻‍♀️

I can't wait to see all the changes! So excited for you guys! Hugs🤗💜🤗

I buy creeping phlox in 6a StL Missouri. I love it the way it hangs over brick walls and still grows and blooms.. They don't get to tall but will creep the whole wall. I have one plant 4 yrs old its about 4-5 foot long and maybe 6 inches tall with the blooms

I always love your videos, mostly because you are so authentic, you are you, continue doing what you love in life. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening.

Russell is a gem! 😍🐱💎

Hi Laura and Aaron! Thank you for another fun and interesting Q&A!

Laura, Im 69 and I am sooo not a "committee" person either, and never have been. Whether that is a fault, I'm still not sure. We are artists at heart. I love the satisfaction of creating something on my own, or pushing on through something extra strenuous. But I have surely that I cannot do EVERYTHING, so I do value when others can contribute their skills when I need them. That teaches me patience and gratitude. That is a blessing!

I LOVE change! I’m excited for you.
