I used to get so frustrated with my grandson when all he wanted to do was watch baseball video’s on KZfaq....like maybe you should go outside and PLAY baseball instead!!! And now here I sit, watching Laura talk about gardening video’s when I should be outside pulling weeds!!

Aaron, “No! You have good-looking hands…I think they’re beautiful.” 😍 Y’all are so cute.

Was totally surprised to have you comment on my comment the other day but very thankful! Thanks for coming and meeting us here in the comments♡ My daughters ( 5 months and 4years old) start our day with you...my older daughter has learned so much along with me. "Its Laura time!" she says every morning :) Have a great weekend everyone!

So funny. Laura- “the handle on the drill gets in the way when I set it down “ Aaron- “ if you set it down the right way, it makes a kind of tripod and it works better.” Laura - “ I don’t think about it, I just fling it. Hahahaha 🤣💚

My hands have been like sandpaper most of my life. I remember digging out some dirt to make a small landing for a garden. And the rocks were so thick. And that afternoon I went to see my great grandma in the hospital and I was rubbing her arm and I said I am sorry my hands are so rough Grandma. And she said those are hands of a hard-working woman be proud.

Please don't feel concerned about all the planting videos....I absolutely love them. Keep 'em coming! ☺

3:21 "I'll leave some.. just for you" Oh my heart! 🥰

You do an AMAZING job being a mother of a toddler, an infant, being a wife, a gardener, an influencer, having remodeling, having additions, caring for your friends, family and community! Plus, everything else you do. Who cares if you forgot to link anything? It takes less effort for us to look up these things ourselves than to send you a message to ask you why you didn’t link a product. Lol Don’t feel discouraged. Keep going! We love you!

Aaron’s excitement over adding compost rather than mulch, “oh man, our stuffs gonna grow sooo good” made me chuckle. Love how he’s getting more involved in these videos and we get to here his opinions on things too. 👍🏼😀

I have 3 different plastic mailboxes hidden on the ground behind shrubs around the yard. Inside each of the them I have pruner, folding saw, name tags from newly planted plants and string. Saves many steeps when you have to do a fast cleanup and you don’t have the tools with you.

Aaron's "Our stuffs gonna look so good!" Love it! And the neener neener to the naysayers of the palate walkway! I love your recap videos so much!

Aaron, I have a food allergy to eggs. They have, occasionally, turned on me since I was in my 30s. I'm about to turn 60 next month and I cannot eat eggs, ever, without "paying the price". It also causes lots of pain now. I love eggs!!! There's nothing better than even having breakfast for supper but I can't do it! I'm sorry you are allergic to them. I guess, about twice a year, now, I get so hungry for them that I just prepare for it and really enjoy them when I eat them. I can eat stuff made with them, too. I just can't eat a couple of eggs and toast. So sad! I'm lamenting them with you now! I, literally, feel your pain! I do love these updates and I have loved your being involved in them. Thanks for stretching yourself and being a part of them. You are just as amazing as Laura is!!! You 2 are raising 2 beautiful children, too!!! I'm so thankful that you can be such a hands on Daddy! It's so important for kids to have their Daddy's! My Daddy has been gone for 35 years and he still blesses me every day! I was a mid-life baby (accident) and my mother was 40 and my Daddy was 49 when I showed up. He always took time to hang out with me. He is who gave me my love of gardening! I have so many memories of being in our yard and watching and helping him with the gardens. What you are doing makes a difference! You 2 bless me and all the GA family more than you can begin to imagine! THANK YOU!!!❤️🙂🦋

I love our little highlight talks. I hope we can have a full tour soon, I’d be curious in the PW conversation to see how the new varieties are doing, namely the coleus are doing. Also, if the tours push 2 hours, no one will complain! Love you guys!

We were at a house with a driveway that you couldn't see the end of and they had a little but very visible sign that was cute that said "circle drive". So it let the person know that they would come back out if they just kept going . I think if you could do something similar right at the spot where people tend to turn around, it might solve the issue. Or if you don't have a circle drive "turnaround spot ahead" with a little arrow.

I will never tire of watching your videos and planting all the things! I still go back and watch older videos! Your channel is such an inspiration! Thank you😊

"This tastes like the cow got into the onion patch." hahahahahahhahahahahha thank you for that laugh. The timing was perfect because I just poured a glass of milk for my hubby and he said " This milk tastes funny." omg we are laughing so hard here.

OMG Laura, you and Aaron are a wealth of garden knowledge in ways you may not realize. From the beginner teen-ager to some us "middle-aged" your enthusiasm and little quips of info are huge for us. Thank you for your "bantering" but mostly it's that you're complementing each others talents and Aaron has come a long way in offering his opinion on plants. This channel - you both - make my day get going (along with coffee) and inspires me to do more in my garden and in life : ) It's been so hot this summer in Oregon yet you continue to give us realistic "adventures in the garden." I didn't know about Bud Worm (a flower grub) until I got Webworm (a grass grub), your beautiful Spruce falling down in a storm (wire cage still in-tack from 30+ yrs ago), the list goes on. And now the Prairie Wedding Bridal Bokay plus the quick pics of Samantha & Benjamin takes me back in time with my own son during those ages (he's now 20 yo.) Every day is a wonderful adventure with your family/ gardening/ harvesting & events that reassures me life is so beautiful beyond my little place in this world. Thank you Laura & Aaron my day is better with you in it : D

While on a walk last night my husband noticed a neighbor's plant. He said "I've always wondered what this was!?" Before I had time to think, I yelled out "It's a Rose of Sharon!" Thank you Laura for all you've taught me.

I was very happy to see your garden when it wasn't in it's pristine state. You are human after all! Love every single video you put up!

Ohhhhh Aaron... I'm SO WITH YOU on the pop up spikes for the grass. I do NOT understand why people choose to drive/Park on my grass that I work hard to keep beautiful when there's gravel for them. Seems like a HUGE etiquette issue to me. I would get IMMENSE gratification from their stunned faces when all the air goes out of their tires. I bet they'd thing twice about EVER driving on grass again. (Obviously I have much pent up rage on this subject. 🤣)

We will NEVER get sick of watching you plant !!!!!!!!!! And I scored some of the orange rudbeckia at my local garden center🥳 When I was there they were letting me know they may not carry proven winners in the 4 in cans next year due to marketing and packaging cost😭Have you ever heard of something like this??? I but almost all my petunias there!!!

You are a joy to watch!! I love your and Aaron's little in between discussions 💕 Many blessings to you as you bless and bring inspiration and joy to so many.

By Monday afternoon someone at Home Depot's corporate office is going to wonder how/why their entire inventory of HOLLAND 4x8 red charcoal concrete pavers sold out over the weekend! Lol. I already checked my store and they don't have them. 😭

I actually don't use gloves very often either...I call that a true gardener!🦋 Your place is looking so awesome!

Oh Laura, if only you knew. We never tire of any of your videos. You all are not just someone we watch to get tips on gardening, although those are wonderful. We watch you because, as far as we're concerned, you all are 'framily' - friends that we consider family. Your videos are getting more 'artistic' all the time. The editing, the drone footage, the music, and the sweet, sweet shots of the children. When the drone catches sweet Benjamin running in the grass below, I just about start bawling. Please understand that in what can be a very dark world, each of you is a warm and welcoming light. May God continue to bless you. 🥲🥰❣️

the pallet walkway is my fav of your garden and around the chicken coop. so can't wait to see the new one. benjamin was so cute in the wedding and the flowers where beautiful.

I don't know how you both have the time to put all these videos up, when I don't have the time to watch them all. LOL I LOVE the highlights channel because then I can get the information and if I need more, I can go search for that specific video. One of my favorite things about this channel is, I feel like a friend sitting in on a conversation between Laura and Aaron. I thoroughly enjoy the realness of these videos and talking about budgets, failures, moodiness and stressors. Your videos are real and informative and is the main reason I will continue to watch your videos. Thank you.

I think a video compilation that recaps the year/season with before and after drone flyovers would be great.

We started raising laying hens last year. My husband starting having digestive issues when eating our chicken eggs as well (he is in his 60's and never had an issue with eggs before). We decided to try a different feed and once we switched, his digestive issues went away. So, it may be something in your feed that is transferring to the egg that is affecting Aaron's digestion. Just a thought.

I REALLY like the recap videos. Enjoy the give and take between you and Aaron and the humor! If I missed a video it’s a good way to get a recap and go back and watch. You two are the best!,

I absolutely love your channel. I grew jalapeño peppers and I made the jalapeño recipe you and your Mom did; I canned 7 pints. Cowboy candy. YUM! You are so genuine and sincere, zero pretense. I look forward to every video you post. I’ve learned so much from you. Many thanks!!!!

Lol, "I'm sensitive", well played Aaron, well played 😁😆

Laura is giving off some serious Jennifer Aniston vibes lately! I’d love more (and slower) drone footage though. I’ve been watching you guys for a while now and have a pretty good idea of the layout of your property, but it all makes more sense whenever you can see it from above. Love the videos, you guys are awesome! Thanks for all of the entertaining and informative content!

Always look forward to having my tea, snack, and enjoying another weekly recap with Laura & Aaron. I wonder why there’s a bamboo steamer next to you?

Aaron's "your hands are beautiful" and "I'm sensitive..." were my fave parts of this one hah!

I love my pallet walkway through my vegetable garden all because of you.

I absolutely LOVE these highlights videos. Yours are the only highlights style videos I ever watch and I look so forward to these every week. Getting additional insights and opinions and the fun relaxed way you and Aaron bounce stuff off each other is wonderful. By the way, I'm with Aaron - put some spikes up to protect the grass. If that doesn't work, some smaller landmines! If they are going to mess up the grass let's share the damage!! Does that sound bad? Oh well, KEEP OFF THE GRASS!

“I think their beautiful “ so sweet .. he didn’t miss a beat

You guys were feisty today, lol! Spike strips, unscrupulous lady bug dealers, and nanner Nanner! Lol, too funny!

Haha spike strips to save the grass! I'm extreme like that too. :)

The amazing, incredible gloves are Felco 702. I ordered them direct from Felco. Not only do I have roses but also wicked hollies that are more brutal and they require constant pruning. The Felco 702 gloves are THE BOMB!!!

I agree Laura an informative video of how to dead head different perennials would be great 👍

There is a hosta called 'Fragrant Bouquet' that is apple green with a white edge on the leaves. The fragrance is unbelievable.

Never ever get sick of seeing and hearing your ideas and journey

So true about links on social media. Even if the link is there, a lot of people still want to be spoon fed (not referring to this community). Personally, I never look for the link - I just go off what you say and search myself. For international viewers unless the product is on Amazon it is unlikely I’ll find it in my country (Australia).

“Quantifiable” I always learn new words listening to you Laura lol

The disciplinarian but sweet side of Aaron is showing much in this video, and I love it :)

Your coke and ice always looks so refreshing!!!!

Actually many people have problem eating eggs - so Aaron has lots of company. I like Rebecca's idea of you showing us what really did great in your space.

I let my hosta plants bloom. When our granddaughter was little i have a wonderful photo of her in the hostas. And it is a magnificent photo!

Thank you so much for sharing how you split the garden into zones. I have recently “zoned” my house and it’s really helping me to stay on top of things. I’m 66 and not in great health, just not able to clean all day like I did for many years…It’s coming into Spring here in Australia so I’ve been cleaning like a mad woman for 2 to 3 hours every day in each zone and finding it so much better and not so overwhelming. I feel a great sense of accomplishment at the end of each session…🥰🇦🇺

Thanks for all your positive encouragement!! Any chance you can do a review on what to cut back in fall, what to leave until spring, or other considerations in how to put your gardens to bed for winter??

Never get tired of watching you plant plants. Love everything you have planted so for. Can't wait to see what's next

“Activate spike strips!” Hahaha! Sounds like a super hero super power command. Ahahahahahah!!!

I loved your comment about how you can get overwhelmed when you try to look at tackling everything at once. I definitely freeze when I get overwhelmed. So good to learn about your zoning. Thanks for your knowledge and encouragement.

I love the comment from Julie Norris about the excitement about the recognizing and naming plants. Absolutly the Same for me! I learned so much from you Guys. The funny Thing is, i live in Germany and i just know the english names and get so confused when i have to name something in german. Most of the times i have to Google translate the names from english to my motherlanguage😂

You are the best guys. Live in a condo and can’t garden. Still love watching your program

I never get tired of the planting videos. I always get a new idea or two (or ten) from each one.

Can you do an update on your neighbour’s yard, the one with the waterfall and pond

Black walnuts and English walnuts both start out covered in a husk. ( and they both stain your hands).

I love to listen to you guys banter back and forth.

Thank you for mentioning that you do see us and read our comments. I used to ask questions here and there, and then ended up just stopping and searching google for the answers. I was thinking you was just to busy and was just being thankful that you was making videos to watch. And I watch them all, and I think I have ran through all of them at least twice now. I know creepy stalker type. Sorry. But yes when you mentioned about showing us "Where to cut" on plants would be nice. I would also like to know "When" to cut it. My climate is different from yours. I am in 9b here in rainy florida, so I cut when I think it should be and end up killing my plants, do to the heat and or the rains. So a little help with that would be sooooooooooo great. Keep doing you, we all love you and yours family.

Aaron loving on Laura’s hands! 🥰 #relationshipgoals

Still loving you two and all the content you give to us. LOL I was watching your June 2018 garden tour this morning and you told Aaron that you needed more animals in your life, like maybe a horse. Do you still feel that way? 🤣😍

I call the "cracking" you are talking about with the Jalapenos "stretch marks" haha!

I was actually shocked to hear you didn’t like the blooms on hostas, I didn’t think I was a fan of them either until I saw them in one of my deeply shaded areas. The light blue bell shaped blooms really shined, definitely brought some nice bright interest to the area. Ps, my sister and I are allergic to egg whites…. We still eat them but they make us achy. 😅

Just brighten my day seeing this notification to enjoy at the end of a beautiful day...much ❤️ Laura..

I love Aaron’s idea about the spike strips with a switch!!! People use my driveway to turn around in and I hate it. I would love to give them flat tires!!!

Two years ago we started getting aphids in the gardens for the first time. I did nothing about it because I really don't like using any type of sprays on anything. Last year was worse, but they were pretty much exclusively on weedy areas like our ditch, behind the shed etc. This year there were several types of aphids and they were now in the actual flowerbeds. I wasn't sure what to do about it, so again I just left it to see what nature would do. The reason I like to wait is because several years ago we had PLAGUE levels of grasshoppers show up on our property, eating everything. I mean walk across the lawn and it was sea of them moving before you. As a new gardener I was at a loss but after two years nature brought in a praying mantis army, literally hundreds of them and they wiped out all the grasshoppers. Now we have lots of mantids every year, a normal to slightly less than normal amount of grasshoppers, and no issues with them eating the plants. So getting back to the aphids this year, I waited again and then one day I went out and noticed strange bugs on the plants. I looked it up and they were ladybug larva, and they were EVERYWHERE. The adult ladybugs also did their job and plants that were completely covered in aphids were picked clean in a matter of days, and now the ladybugs are all throughout the property and I have yet to see another aphid anywhere. Now if only nature could come up with a solution for squash bugs :/

Good job Aaron with the questions! Laura, so fun to listen and watch you’re answers!! I’m 79 and still digging, planting and planning my next yrs landscape! I have 2 new flower beds that I’m holding off planting to get the soil ready for next spring!! Police officers come by now and then to make sure I’m not out in the sun! Lol I’m in the yard everyday all day! It’s my passion and you and Aaron keep me encouraged to keep going!! Thank you for a good start to my day having coffee! You’re babies are so fun especially watching Benjamin running and helping.Hell be planting and driving the BIG tractor!!😄😄😄 before you know it. I have 5 children and live in zone 8 in Texas. Thanks for being here! I’ve been watching since you were in the other house and well before you bought the property! Forget the yrs!

Checking immediately for FELCO gloves! Well done Laura. Lol

Spike strips 😂 We had some folks in our area put some spikes out to keep some pesky mudders out of there ditch. It worked like a charm for them against folks intentionally rutting up there grass at the road. Best of luck with your grass.

I agree with Aaron, let the hostas bloom. In the winter, I like to Winter Sow the seeds and if I get too lazy, the seeds will self sow.

Love your recap videos. Every time I see you drinking your iced drinks I want to ask you do you still love that ice maker that you shared with us previously?

Aaron, 100% am with you about driving on the grass. Love the idea of spike strip with push of a button!!

Perennial recommendation: echinops ritro...globe thistle. It's awesome! I cut it back once and it blooms a second time. Glorious round purple globe flowers.

Guacamole has a heavenly scent!

Lol @Aaron wanting spikes to pop up to protect the grass. How about a sign that tells drivers how far down to go to turn around safely? I’m thinking delivery drivers have to meet their quota and need to get to their next delivery stop ASAP.

They did put the link for the gloves down below LOL. And I love it when Aaron said that her hands were beautiful. I mean, just one simple compliment like that can show much affection from his end.

Anyone who drives on your grass probably has never tried to grow a nice lawn. Having my own lawn totally changed my perspective and now…. I know how precious it is to someone. 😂

I live in Sydney Australia and my garden hasn’t looked this good since we have been in lockdown and watching these blogs , I love everyone of them, it is keeping me sane as we can’t even leave our area, I would love to buy the firelight hydrangeas but cannot seem to find them here , not even sure they will be suitable for our climate, but they are so beautiful, I’ve always loved the garden but even more now then ever, your place is so beautiful 🇦🇺💐💖

My son has had an egg allergy since he was a toddler and we have learned from his doctor that if eggs are in baked goods it changes and he can tolerate them.

LOL! I agree with Aaron. Let's create those spike strips!

So funny, on painting the utility boxes "has been on the list for four years...I don't know why we haven't gotten it done." Really? You get more done than anyone else I know!

Spike Strips!! Hilarious Aaron

Egg is actually one of the top 9 allergens. My daughter is allergic to dairy, egg, peanut, treenut and sesame. Great that Aaron figured out what was causing his issues. 😊

I just love your channel. I discover it during the Pandemic and have since gone back to the beginning and watched almost all seasons. Now that Im back to work I truly miss watching as soon as you post. You and Aaron are a very special couple. I have learned so much from you. Now my family calls me the plant lady. I always say well " Laura said" or" Laura does". They ask who's Laura?. Keep doing what you do, its amazing!

I admire your hands , considering all the work you do with bare hands. I think does Laura spar her hands nightly 👏👏👏

After finding this channel back in the early spring, I feel like I've learned sooooooo much! I am interested in the process of maintenance/deadheading, but often I am unsure about the best place on the plant to cut out, etc. Thank you for what you do, this channel has helped bring out my inner gardening goddess!

A video from you AND from Nicole right before I go to do chores in the cutflower & veggie garden? YES!

I love your videos and watching you makes me want to do so much in my garden..What is the basket item that is sitting beside you? I am looking forward to seeing you and Aaron's visit with Jenny and Jerry and working together.

You guys really had me laughing when you talked about putting links below 🤣 Also, when you said you should be out dead heading because of words and recall. Boy, do I get that! Thanks for all your brilliant guidance. I can’t wait for cooler days so I can get out and plant!

Thank you for ending my day with a wonderful recap video!!! Love you guys & BOTH channels!!! Have a beautiful & productive weekend!! 😎☺️☀️🌼

Laura, the look on your face when Aaron referenced spike strips (BTW Aaron, I agree) was priceless. Tickled me so good ❤️

I have been watching your videos for awhile now and noticed you are commenting more lately. Thank you for all you do!! Your GA community appreciates that personal touch!

Please don't feel bad or think we are getting bored with you planting in the new garden. I love seeing how you pair plants and design the area. I have a horrible time with that and learn from your plantings. Love your videos and highlights!!!

I love starting my day with you. I have gained such inspiration from you. You and Aaron are so real . I love watching the recap videos when you and Aaron discuss things and we can get both of your prospective on things. I never miss a video and look forward to the next. Since we are both in a zone 6 now I know the plants you plant I can as well. That makes it even more enjoyable to watch. Thank you for all the helpful hints and tricks you give us. I know I can have a beautiful garden like you someday as I am still landscaping new beds and have fun going to the garden centre picking out new plants all because I watch you!

Hello Laura, my wife and I just celebrated our 42nd anniversary. I got her cheetah vans, felco #2's, and a color coded zone chart. She got me some PW summerrific hibiscus and lime light hydrangeas. That's all we need for a great garden, right? Well it's a start. Love what you do and share. Don & Connie

Aaron, just a heads up…watch the kids regarding egg allergy…my friend has a similar issue…so does her niece, mom, and brother…came on at different ages with different degrees…flu shot questionnaire asks if you are allergic to eggs…they have flu vaccines where that is not a problem

I have a small raised growing bed for veggies and have figured out this year what I won't grow next year. Watching you garden this summer has helped determining what I want to grow next year. Already ordered the salad bush cucumbers and several melon types. Thank you for all the hard work and helping those of us with small spaces know what to focus on for maximum output! Love watching your space evolve.
