"OMG I grew that" is literally my face when I eat any produce I have grown 😂😂😂

Laura i am 65 yrs old and while i have played in the dirt all my life and loved it i have learned so much from you. You have given me knowledge, desire, courage and not to mention inspiration. Your attitude to life is also a great gift to us. You lift me up and i thank you so much. I tell everyone about your site. Best of everything to you and your family. Blessing to all and new baby.

That gorilla cart is a beast… Am I the only one that wanted to sit there and taste test watermelons LOL

Ahhh...the joy of enjoying the “fruits” of your labour.😊😊🍉🍉😊😊

My husband always say "your bestfriend uploaded a new video!" 😁😅😍

It would be great to see a coffee table book with pictures of your gardens.

This is so amazing! would have loved to see the chickens get their share! :) Please include a clip of them some time

The before and after shots are simply Amazing, I still can’t get over that every plant comes from a seed! God does provide ❤️

Loved the editing and music! Appreciate the effort put in with the slow motion, distance shots, & drone footage. Many YT videos only show zoomed-in shots with absolutely no perspective shots. You guys put out a polished professional product that is honestly what you would see in a television series funded by a large corporate media group. Much respect to you Aaron & Laura for putting together this channel.

They came out beautiful. I love that you cut them open to show us. Congratulations, Laura!!! 🍉🍉🍉

Laura, I got so tickled when you go straight to the heart of the watermelon to taste, all I could hear in my memories were my grandmother saying, “ Becky, don’t eat just the heart.” To this day I will always eat a few bites of just the heart while cutting one up. Congratulations! 🍉😋

You know why I love your videos? You make me smile with your enthusiasm and passion! Thanks for the 😊💫

Learnt about the sweetness scale. That’s what keeps your channel something to look up to.

Aaron finally got a taste at the end, lol 🤣 Congrats on the water melons!

Looks like we’re all going to Aaron and Laura’s house for watermelon💚🙃I might try sugar baby next year. Congratulations on your beautiful watermelon crop💚🙃

I love Aarons work on putting together the video, the music. It's perfect!! I just love watching your videos. I'm learning all about gardening and watching you and your techniques.

I can't believe you got all that from your rubbish soil. Imagine what's gna grow when the soil has been improved. Great harvest 💕

When you have a watermelon that doesn’t taste quite perfect or is overripe...juice it! So fast and watermelon juice is delicious! You can add lime for a little punch. You can leave the seeds in too.

A minute in I had to remind myself that you were on the new property. I’m amazed at how far the land has come. Looking forward to the future. Yes you grew that! Congratulations! Now I need some watermelon.

Awesome thanks for sharing!!! I actually leaned in forward when you brought the spoon closer to the camera to give to Aaron🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️😂🤣🥰👍🏾

I am AMAZED at the phenomenal growth on your new property! I was "there with you" (watching your daily vlogs) when you planted everything from the get-go, and I guess with your consistent watering and tremendous heat and sunshine, everything just took off. These watermelons (as well as other cast-off veggies) will be a sure treat for your beloved chickens! Blessings over your day, 🙏 Cindy in Maryland =^..^=

I loved this video! I love "learning" along side of you and am happy you do so many different types of gardening videos. You truly have been my favorite channel and I've learned so much since discovering you last year.

Laura ~ You're One In A ' Melon ' (wink) ..... Thank You !

It’s amazing how that piece of land has changed, so beautiful. I am probably the odd one, I cut my watermelon and leave half in the sink with a spoon, never to be refrigerated, I eat from the heart of it and throw it out when the best part is gone! Learned a lot from your experience I never knew your supposed to cut the water from a watermelon. Thank you for sharing your life’s journey with us, would love to see Benjamin eating watermelon and Aaron too!!

When you were picking them my thoughts went immediately to "I carried a watermelon", Baby from Dirty Dancing lol But loved your excitement & the video as per every video :)

I can totally relate to the “ i grew that” statement! So satisfying!

Wow very impressive you should be proud. How blessed your are dear watching you during this horrible pandemic has been a blessing to me im an average gardener love getting my hands in the dirt living in Vacaville ca. With pandemic & now these terrifying fire's age 72 im stuck inside go out long enough to water my plant's back inside I go😞. You are appreciated at a time like this Thank you for actually helping me get through these Scarytimes with your lovely family and garden stories & idea's God Bless you all😄👋

The Smile on your face when you carried them to your cart was priceless. Congratulations on your wonderful haul x

My granddaughter and I decided that we are going to plant watermelons next year!!!

Glorious experience!!!! I know you’re so proud. I would be, too!!!!! Yippee. Watermelon is so perfect for these last “dog days” of summer. Take care and God bless. 🍉👏🏻💕

Watching how happy you were holding that first watermelon brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for doing what you do! 🤗

So much fun being a part of the planting and now seeing the fruit! I feel like we're all in this together. Even though you're the one putting in all the sweat and hard work! Much appreciate how transparent your videos are and that you encourage us to step out and try the new thing! 💜💜💜

This is a giant hug and a pat on the back...well done!! I am so impressed. You've done a wonderful job. Thank you so much for all the inspiration and information, I learned so much. Enjoy eating and sharing your harvest! 😊🍉

Wow!! What a journey you guys have had on YT. Look at all things your hard work has led to. I love it. Seeing you harvest fruit from this huge land is such a joy to watch.

Wow! What a delicious haul! It's amazing to see how quickly your new garden grew! 🤗

So exciting! 🍉 Cant wait for a pumpkin harvest video!

What’s a great advice Laurie... “ it’s best to learn from failing or succeed...just do it “.

Awesome !! I am here in Michigan babying my ONE watermelon along hoping it will be edible.😂😂

Congrats Laura on your first watermelon harvest! We've been growing watermelon in Colorado for some time now. Have consistently found that the female watermelons are sweeter than the male. You can tell the difference between the two because the females are round, and the males are elongated. So, in addition to checking for the cream color where the watermelon has been sitting in the bed, check for it's rounded shape. This is a good rule of thumb when selecting watermelons in the grocery store too! Love your channel! Happy gardening everybunny!

I love the ‘I grew that’ cheer! So fun.

What a rock star! 🧏‍♀️ I love " omg I grew that" ❤ Its very rewarding when we harvest all our veggies. Just love what y'all have grown in such poor soil. Give some the gumption to grow their own. Thanks for sharing, much love.

I loved that we got more of your reactions in this video. Sometimes professional filming can keep us at a distance. Even though the filming is beautiful. This video is a good balance.

The joy on your face as you came out of the garden was priceless.

So I have to admit....I watched this video THREE times! (hubby watched too) You brighten our day with your infectious joy. The music you chose is perfect for melon picking. And the look on your face when you tasted the fruit. Well done. Well done .

Man I have missed a lot. I love how the land turned out. You did great on the watermelons, oh but those pumpkins. I can not wait to see the reveal on them. That one that was shown briefly look just beautiful and humongous. Yall do such a great job. I love seeing what yall have grown and also the information you give us about it. Knowledge is key.

I just love the slow motion shots of you harvesting what ever it is (we saw that in a flower harvest video just recently) it feels like we may be getting to see you though Arrons eye in those moments and it's just so beautiful. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful space with us, your videos are always what I look forward to to starting my day with.

This is the best reason to watch Garden Answer! How can anyone have a bad day after watching my favorite YT “friends” get so excited over flat nothing ground turned into 250 pounds of watermelons. Big congratulations and I certainly feel you pride and joy.

"I grew that!" You are too adorable & your watermelon looks delish & pretty!

You looked so excited and happy and the watermelons are beautiful! Yesterday, on CBS Sunday Morning, they did a segment on Hermiston, OR and their famous watermelons. I don't have a lot of room for vine crops but hoping to try next summer. We're enjoying our 2 raised beds this summer, with PW tomatoes, basil, bell peppers, jalapenos, PW Fire Away Hot and Heavy peppers, radishes, lettuce, strawberries, chives, rosemary and carrots...thank you Laura, for our very first vegetable garden!

Yes watermelon harvest with Laura, Aaron and my coffee! How fun to watch your face when you tasted them and the excitement of seeing what you grew in that ground. I think your advice is spot on you just have to get out there and try it because I agree gardening is best learned by doing! Your community of people that you give things to are going to be so blessed with all the fruit and veg coming on and the chickens will be in heaven!

I was hoping to see some bonus footage of the Chickens going to town on their special treat!!! NUM! NUM! NUM!!!!🐔🍉🐔🍉🐔🍉

This just reminded me of when I was pregnant in my 3rd trimester with my son in the dead heat of summer and watermelon was the only thing I craved. Great harvest!!

Laura, your excitement is priceless...I love it! Seems like your new garden property is prospering quite well. So happy for you. Enjoy the watermelons.

“Faith in planting” is so true! Just have to do it. Thanks for the inspiration! 🥰

Oh, I just LOVE how pleased and happy you look while picking and showing us your watermelon harvest. Well done!

That is the Best thing about gardening !! After all these years of growing Laura can still have a "I grew that" moment !!!

I would so make watermelon water!! That’s what we do when our watermelon isn’t as sweet or tasty as we wish 🍉❤️🍉

today is my birthday! what a "sweet" video to watch ;-)

Your excitement is contagious! I love watermelon and could almost taste it when you said, “I grew that!”

you should be happy!!! my word! look at those!! i'm so happy for you, too.. that space was nothing but gopher holes and you've turned it into a paradise in less than 3 months! you rock, woman! i bet Benjamin loved those watermelons, too :) how fun!! and i agree, experience is by far one of the best teachers in the garden... enjoy the 'fruits of your labor'! question: can you save those seeds to plant next year? or do you order a fresh package of seeds? :)

I'm now drooling. 😋 That looked delicious! Loved the before and after shot too. Amazing how far you have gotten just in one growing season. Good work!

Looks great! Congratulations 🍉🍉🍉

A couple of years ago I grew a Crimson Sweet watermelon for the first time. We planted it in a pile of old potting soil I had dumped in my flowerbed after redoing all of my containers. I measured it against my foot everyday. The vine grew about 30 ft. in length. Amazing to see how it grew. I waited for the tendril to turn color before I picked it. Finally the day came. We had planned a "watermelon feed" for family when it was ready. OMG! 32#s! Thank goodness for family and friends because Dave and I couldn't have eaten it alone. what a good reason for a get together. It was sooo good! I put a video of the garden that included my watermelon plant on Facebook and it might still be there. Congratulations on your watermelons Laura and Aaron!

Love waking up to your videos Laura ! Garden Answer and coffee! Yayayyyy!!!z,👏🏽👏🏽🤗🥦🥒🥕💓❤️👩🏽‍🌾😘😘

I really enjoy watching Laura everytime she harvests something from the garden. I am looking forward to more watermelons next year! ❤

I'm so excited for you with success in your new gardens. Realizing the before & after sure is impressive. You guys are AMAZING. Great video.💞

Aaron, you're so patient to have waited till Laura handed you a spoonful!

I’ve never had good luck with any fruits, I’ll try again next year. Congratulations on your great harvest❤️

Honestly, I like it better overripe. A bit sandy but super sweet.

Thank you, very timely, I was just inspecting my watermelons trying to decide when to pick them

From the time I was born until I retired disabled, we grew huge gardens. I loved just about all vegetables. My husband and I raised 6 children, 3 huge gardens around our farm and thousands of chickens over the years. My favorites times were slicing into the first cucumber, the smell and taste the best. Next, cutting into first watermelon. I mean, dance party feeling. It’s hard work but a wonderful life. Bless you.

You have a lot of watermelon there! What you don't give to the chickens, may I suggest my Mom's delicious and refreshing gazpacho recipe? You really don't notice the watermelon in it, it gives this cold soup a certain something. Watermelon Gazpacho 4 heaping cups cubed seedless watermelon 1 English cucumber, diced, reserve half 3 medium tomatoes, diced, reserve half 1 small red bell pepper, diced, reserve half ⅓ cup chopped green onions, diced, reserve half 1 garlic clove small handful basil 3 to 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling 1 to 2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste ½ jalapeño pepper, optional diced avocado, optional 1. Set aside the reserved half of the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, red pepper and green onions and place the remaining half in a blender (Mom uses a food mill - she doesn’t like the skins and seeds from the tomatoes and skins from the pepper. She uses the blender for the rest of the recipe). Add the watermelon, garlic, basil, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper and jalapeno pepper, if using. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings. 2. Pour into a large bowl and stir in the reserved chopped vegetables. 3. Chill for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. 4. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with diced avocado and/or micro greens, if desired, before serving.

Just get out there and do it! I need to hear that every day lol!

You were practically doing a CrossFit session with all those watermelons, I feel like I need to go do some squats! 😂😂 Btw, look amazing!!

Guys, I just need to say I've been following you for a couple of years and your content is absolutely fantastic. When I was in my teens (20 yrs ago) I collected gardening magazines and dreamed. I never would have believed the information, dedication and enthusiasm you provide would exist. 10 years ago I thought I was 'on the up and up' because I was paying attention to different varieties...but you two are 'upping' everyone's game and I love it. So inspiring- thank you for bringing joy and inspiration to my life! Don't stop doing this your way?

Wow! From a dusty dirt field to such a bountiful harvest! So impressed.

I tried making watermelon jelly this year. Turned out great! Great way to utilize a big watermelon harvest!

When you rolled that cart full of watermelons, I kept thinking "ooh..is that too heavy for Laura?" Hope you and the second baby, who's probably experiencing all of this from inside, are doing well. :)

First time commenting on anyone's video but fan of garden answer for few years now. I quickly clicked on the melon video and thought "oh that is such hard work with all the kneeling and bending over how does Laura do it" I loved it but realized I was watching the highlight reel. As soon as that was done I clicked on the full version to watch that. :) A nice payback for all that hard work.

Loved learning about the varieties of watermelon, how to grow them, and how they may taste.

Wooow, so happy for you! Next year im gonna try growing watermelon, this inspired me!🙆🏼‍♀️🙆🏼‍♀️

I’ve worked in produce many many years, since I was a kid. Cannot tell you how many watermelons I’ve cut and dug and picked up out of those bins! (So heavy). One thing I always did was tap on the melon to see if it was ripe. I know the exact sound, so funny. Customers used to ask me to pick them out for them and wonder what I was trying to listen to! The overripe melon was so horrible to cut. I would have to make slices and have to put them on a tray and over wrap them and they would all crack. I can still smell the ones that were bad and all slime would come out when it was cut😩. Sugar babies are good! Did you ever try yellow watermelon? They could be real sweet as well but I never found them to be my favorite.

I loved how excited you were with this watermelon haul. My mouth was watering as you tasted them. Xoxo

Oh Laura I'm so happy for you, well done, you are fantastic and excellent role model to everyone, God bless you all.

The watermelons look tasty😋 Here in India we get a lot of watermelons during the hot summer months.. they are a great fruit to have when it's hot.. right now it's rainy season so there's not a lot of watermelons here but plus with the lockdown they are even lesser😔.. you're harvest looks lovely tho hope u enjoy them❤️🌿😊

Loved the arial view before, msybe doing a current one showing it all being filled.

Watching you harvest and getting so excited makes me smile 😆 I cant wait to get my garden started you are so inspiring!

I love all your posting I really loved and appreciated this posting, I learned so much. Please consider presenting each of your fruit and veggies harvesting using this format!

I also grew watermelons for the first time

Was I the only one singing "watermelon sugar high" the whole time? 😄

I was smiling from ear to ear watching your excitement on your watermelon harvest! You have done a phenomenal job with that space even though you weren’t expecting much. So happy for you!

What a Blessing!! Laura, Aaron, you guys amaze me!! All the beautiful things you grow in your beautiful gardens! Your families must be proud of you guys!! Thank you very much for giving us, your followers, the best lessons of what you do. 🐈🌳😘💟

I LOVE WATCHING YOU HARVEST 😍 So satisfying and wow, so many watermelons! We only bought 2 watermelons this summer cause they have become really expensive. It´s my favorite summer fruit so I´m a bit sad over that but what a dream to grow them yourself 😊

Darn I was hoping to see the chickens reaction eating the watermelon.

What a sweet harvest! Congratulations Laura🍉🍉🍉

Opening a farm stand lol I am sure your loved ones and the food banks are so grateful and blessed by your love of gardening - you both are truly a blessing Thank you for sharing and posting - Keeping the Faith 🙏❤🙏 🌺

Good Morning Laura. You should make "gift baskets" for those in your area might need some green veggies love. Love the content.

Good morning, great video thanks Laura and Aaron! Curious, do you ever put salt on your watermelon or any of your melons when you eat them? They say it brings out the sweetness. However, I don’t, others swear by it.

Wow Laura! I'm so amazed how you and Aaron transformed your new space! It's amazing! It looks better than some nurseries I've been to! Everything you plant looks amazing from flowers to your fruit!

I was amazed at the transformation of the land from white to green. Watermelons loved the heat you have. Thanks for showing different kinds of melon.
