    I love having Aaron mic'ed up :) It's natural that she interacts with him during filming, and it's nice to be able to hear him well.

    I just want to let you know that I LOVE that you plant a zillion bulbs and that you have and abundance of beautiful pots! I love seeing all the garden equipment that you have and how you use it and the smiles that it brings to Benjamin when he wants to help out or go for a ride. I love that you feed your chickens with all kinds of vegetables and you use vegetables for other things to make the world beautiful. I love your family and the example you show of what a family that works together looks like and what they can achieve. I love that people can see the results after many years of all the work, teaching, patients and prays that both your parents so obviously poured into you, Laura and Aaron, and that you in return are passing that onto Benjamin and your soon to be new baby girl. Thank you for living life so openly and allowing others to see your talents, whether it is planting a plant, making a wreath, flying a drone, or making a video and matching it to the perfect music.
    P.S. I also love animals! Thank you for giving Russell and Cheddar a dream life. Love, food, shelter, and freedom, the world would be a different place if every animal and human had those thing.
    Merry Christmas to you all and I pray blessings over all your families and also that 2021 will be a year that you double in wisdom, double in subscribers, double in talent and double in income!! 😀

    These gifts you receive represent an overwhelming amount of love and caring from your viewing family. It seems it is becoming overwhelming for you, and I hope the Garden Answer Family will consider making donations instead, in honor of you, Aaron, Benjamin, and Baby Girl - to the Treasure Valley Children's Relief Center, or any organization or charity. There are so many organizations and individuals in such great need. When a donation is received in someone's honor, a note is sent to that person letting them know they have been honored. This would be such a beautiful way for us to show our love and appreciation for you and your family. We should Spread The Love - as you yourself always seem to do. ❤❤❤❤❤

      Agreed. The intention is wonderful and full of love, but I know I came away from that Mail #2 thinking "wow, this is getting quite excessive". Notes, custom gifts, etc. makes sense, but basic clothes, appliances, tools, toys, etc. could definitely go to people in actual need of them.

    People, please stop judging others on how they manage their pets. These cats are CLEARLY happy in their lives, and could not have a more responsible owner. If they wanted to be inside they would be howling at the door. Please just PLEASE keep your judgmental comments to yourself.

    I rescued a cat that had been dumped on the street in the cold. She had tons of health issues. I'm allergic, so I gave her to my mom after getting her healthy. She walked into my mom's house, curled up on my mom's lap, and never showed any interest in going outside again. Cats are very clear about what they want.

    Hello Laura and Aaron. I just wanted to say thank you so much for this channel. I found it earlier, last January and have been a fan ever since. You have inspired me to give flower growing a try. But because my ground is so rocky and poor, I am using large containers. I've been picking them up at the end of the growing seasons at places like Rural King and Menards, even Walmart. I'm trying to get very large pots that I can lift into my SUV to take home. I planted up several of them with bulk Tulip bulbs like 60 + in a planter and can't wait for spring when I can put them out and watch them grow and display for all the neighbors to see. You have introduced me to Espomia products and Now have bags or all the TONES and 20 bags of Land and see Compost! I got seeds from Johnny's and Eden Brothers. I can't wait to start start showing off my flower in my front lawn, which is a knoll so they will be off the road and closer to the cabin. I might however, place a large pot or two down near the mailbox and plant them with something fun like Zinnias or maybe even Lavender. I work about 60 hours a week so containers is the way for me to go right now until I decide to move to a flatter piece of land and can put in a real garden. But because of you, I have been so excited. I am wishing you the very best for the coming year with you ever growing family.

      Their fur was nice and thick, they have their winter coats on. and it wasn't that cold, just snowing. They are fine.

    Laura, I love how pragmatic you are. I’ve started reminding myself to “raise the ordinary to extraordinary.” Thanks to you and your Mom for that one. Merry Christmas! PS The gravel versus pavement negotiations make me laugh every time. Just so relatable. ❤️

      I side with Laura. I think gardens are fluid. Pavement is too permanent, although yes, you can tear it up. I think gravel lends a softer look? 😊

    This year is finally almost over. We just wanted to thank you for all the inspiration. We tackled our drip systems for the flower beds and they are so much better now. They waste much less water than the ones we were using. We also installed new landscape lighting and we planted lots of different types of shrubs and other plants. We were both so excited about it all. You were our inspiration. We hope you have a Merry Christmas and enjoy this time counting down to welcoming your baby.

    Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas. You all are so special to me and all of your other followers. Please do not worry about what kind of schedule you will be keeping the rest of this year and through when baby girl is born. We will miss you terribly, but I am sure everyone understands and wants what is best for you and your family. It will be even more special when you are able to release a video. Take care and thank you for all that you, Aaron, Benjamin, Russell and Cheddar do.

    I love watching your big projects and I take inspiration from them even though my space is very limited. I’ve grown so many plants that I first saw and fell in love with on your channel. Inspiration is definitely the point.

    Sending prayers for you and baby girl! Best wishes for a good delivery. Such a special time. Aaron - have you seen the tree with all the lights off hey 35 W south in Minnesota? You should be able to search for it. One of your trees reminded me of it!!! Good luck garden family! I can’t wait to meet baby girl! There is something so beautiful about new life this year. Just think of the joy her arrival will bring the garden community! By the way. We planted 650 bulbs in our front yard. Hoping that the pandemic will be over and the display will bring joy to the neighbors! It was my birthday, Christmas and Mother’s Day present for the year!!!!

    I have mentioned before and I will mention again that you handle your judgemental questions so well! Kudos to you and Aaron!

So very true and you have inspired me more than you will ever know!

    This was fun listening to you and Aaron, About the driveway issue - definitely gravel! The sound, the look, the relaxing country feel are all perfect for your setting. Blacktop makes me feel like I need to hurry. Gravel helps to slow things down. There’s my two cents for what it’s worth. Have a wonderful Christmas and thank you so much for helping us all get through a trying year!💕

    Christmas with Benjamin is going to be incredible. The innocence, awe and excitement of children never fails to tug at my heartstrings. They grow up so quickly. I was thinking of you today in relation to time off: most people have annual leave and maternity leave, I think you deserve both! I use my laptop to watch you and lots of recommendations come up daily. One can do a GA search for so many topics, great fun; also try 'filter' by oldest first to find your earlier videos. I know most people already are aware of this but I picked up the 'search' tip from a subscriber who often answered queries and was very helpful.
    Wishing you a happy, healthy and fun Christmas!

    If you tube is monitoring this I vote your channel the the most valued in 2020! Gardening has got me through so many periods in my life. Happy times and some more trying. Its true retail therapy can cheer you up but it can become wasteful and just stuff. Gardening allows you to produce, feel productive and always feels hopeful. Even if something doesn't work out you feel inspired to keep trying, figure out the best solutions to the environment you're in. Ummm...sounds like 2020!🤣 Thank you guys for sharing your journey. So many life lessons can be learned from a garden and its not about the size! Window sink gardens work! I know especially with another baby coming you may not want to think of another project BUT seriously consider keeping a journal now weaving your lives and garden lessons. Todays journals will be a great storybook for later. Do not blink, these days will be your long ago that quick!💕

    I luv when you guys collaborate and discuss ur possible plans and opinions together on ur videos, its like an insight into how you guys make decisions and have discussions about your plans. Its really fun to watch and so informative as well.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎅 🎄

    What a delightful highlight video it was nice and casual and friendly. Love the give and take with you and Aaron. Shows how all couples remember things slightly differently and you are always surprised when your partner had a different view of the same thing. Speaking for myself I take the videos as they come I don't expect one every day or every other day I'm just glad when there's one that is current. It's baby girl coming yes we're all anxious to know what's going on but it's more important for you guys to be involved with your family. We all admire you so much but we love being included as part of your family. Christmas blessings to all. Pixie

    This was a really fun conversation video this time. You allowed us to hear your thought patterns and a little of your discussions on what you’d like to do. I felt like I was in on your staff meeting for the planning process. Nice to hear Aaron’s thoughts much more this time. Thank you😁
