Yes, PLEASE, Aaron. We all would LOVE to hear you play and sing. Don't have the camera pointed at you, while you do it. Then, technically, you are not on camera....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
Ok…did anyone else catch Laura being completely swooned when she was talking about Aaron being able to sing? I felt those vibes all the way down here in Texas! 🥰🥰🥰
Honestly, I'm in such a robot mode with your videos. I always like the video before switching it to full screen mode. Liking the video is the smallest way of simply saying *thank you* to you guys for creating free entertainment for me which I so appreciate. 😊👍
That is a great way to explain it to people! Say thanks by clicking the Like button for them. Hopefully, the dedicated followers of GA will begin to do that even more. I also do try to share her videos with friends on FB sometimes because I feel like she is such a great garden resource and such an inspiration.
I like the video before even watching it as well! Some days I don't get to watch the videos all the way through until the end of the day but I know that I have liked it already and helped in that way. I love that they don't ask for it but I understand why people do.
My back surgery was hugely successful - nonetheless, it took 3 years to feel 100% in the garden again... 12 years later I have no pain. Wishing good health to your mom in all her future gardening!
I love when Aaron shares a bit about the youtube side of things and what is actually helpful for us to do to support the channel (like “liking” the video).
…. And wonderfully insightful. Evidently, you’ve found what ticks all the boxes for your audience and well done you! Great presentation style; just enough personal lifestyle content whilst answering what every gardener wants to know ….
I like the fact that Laura & Aaron don't push people to subscribe & like. I find those that do very annoying. That said I do ' like' videos I've enjoyed.
@@jacquelinecadogan204, exactly! I had a channel that I was checking out and every 5 minutes (so it seemed) they were flashing the subscribe button! It was terrible and I haven't watched them again.
I would like to suggest a short music segment at the end of the video (or close up pan of the project) to give me a few seconds to wake up my xbox controller and hit like. I always forget while I'm watching and sometimes the endings are abrupt. I like that you don't ask for likes/subscribers but just continually provide quality content.
Love that Aaron is so much more relaxed on camera now. Your back and forth discussions are both insightful and hilarious. At the end of this video when Laura said “Aaron has a great singing voice, he plays guitar and sings”. His immediate denial/panic in case anyone suggests filming him 🤣
For those I follow, I click on the video and hit the “thumbs up”, like button first thing so I don’t forget because I know it helps the algorithm & happy to do it 😁
🥰 Here I am just watching Laura’s video and I hear my name! You’re going to love the mesh bag method for your dahlias - it was something new I tried after finally having storage success this year. 👍
We actually taught our daughters to use the “delayed gratification” technique for something they saw at a store that caught their eye. Wait, think about it, come back later and see if it’s still what you want and/or still there. This helped them avoid too many impulse buys.
LEAVE THE GRASS! Beneath the willow the grass is visually refreshing, restful, so leave it as is and continue to enjoy the children playing there & lounging on the grass. Visually restful is sometimes the best way.
I think it’s great you consider “real life” situations and leave grassy areas for the kids to play in or for you to film. Not every space needs to be manicured-peaceful green space! Ok now I want to hear Aaron sing too! 😊
My wife loves both of your channels! I just thought I’d let you know that I use a Sony FX3 to film with. Check it out. It never loses focus and never overheats. I record for hours at a time in 90 degree weather. The old Sonys were bad at overheating so I switched to Panasonic because they don’t overheat but they have horrible autofocus. I switched to the FX3 last year and love it. Best wishes!
I’m now hoping for a family concert… Laura at that gorgeous baby grand and Aaron on the guitar, playing and singing! Plenty of time to craft a little concert for us for the holidays! 😉🤞🏻
Shout out to how TOUGH hellebores are. I bought a root bound hellebore at a discount at my local garden center (mildew on the soil surface) and stuck it in 8 hours of sun in my zone 10 climate. Oops. It was there from spring to winter before I finally dug it out. All the foliage crisped and died. I was sure I killed it. I dug it out and squeezed it into a pot (its roots had already spread out. It's now in dappled light under my gazebo. It actually started growing and producing leaves!!! Besides being in full sun and me messing with its roots, it's now thriving. I had to go buy 3 more. 😆
I sing in the garden all the time. I have chronic pain, and tend to hold my breath when in pain, which exacerbates it and limits the time I can work for. Put on a song I love and I can't NOT sing! Which, of course, makes me BREATHE, and enables me to work in the garden for hours!! I love it.
The very first thing I do when opening up the video is hitting the like button, weather I’m interested in the topic or not….it’s just become habit now. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Have you considered having your favorite iPhone professionally cleaned to remove all dirt? I completely understand the frustration of changing phones! Thank you for sharing the Ups and Downs of all your adventures!
My Mom used to grow the most amazing dahlias. She would plant them out in the spring and dig them up in the fall and store them in the cellar for the winter. I don't remember her dividing them unless they got super big. Then she would just break them apart and plant them ( she could grow plants in pavement!! lol!). Her tubers were always large when she planted them.
I love that grassy area. It's perfect for a picnic or a small play area for the kids. I can see Samantha Grace on a blanket surrounded by toys and toy tea set.
I love when Laura goes to Andrews....seeing all the new plants and trees come in gives me ideas for what to add to my home and farm...after the unloading of the house plants I bought several new ones ...it's nice to see what is out there !
Good morning, Laura and Aaron from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 In the 80's/60's here ☀️👩🌾☀️ Thanks for sharing your love of life in the Garden 🌿💚💓💚🌿
I hit "Like" on every video. I think we owe that to you for taking the time to make it. lol They are so full of information and I enjoy them so much. How could I not hit the "Like" button. HIT THE LIKE BUTTON FOR AARON ANS LAURA!
You are always exciting to us Laura!!! I feel like your an old friend that I visit everyday!! I spend more time with you then most of my friends 😂😂😂Thank you for giving me the courage to try new things and your always my “go to come back” with that’s how Laura does it!! My husband laughs at me even though he snuck on your channel to get gift ideas for me when I tell him things you use or like. ❤️❤️❤️
Laura, why not put a small picnic table in the little grassy area? And perhaps just a basic swing set. With a couple of swings and a slide. I always enjoyed taking my children to the park as well. Much more elaborate playground equipment and other children to play with. But since you all spend so much time in that area as a family, it could aid in keeping the little ones in eye shot and a special little spot for picnics and snacks. Children are so precious when you see them sitting at a child size table or chair and they feel more grown up lol.
The parents have tons of land. The kids need an area for them with games, swings, outdoor bowling, corn hole, bocce, ring toss and perhaps a mud kitchen. Every place doesn't have to be an immaculate showplace.
I Enjoy your recap videos so much with my Sunday morning cup of tea. I appreciate that you aren’t always telling your viewers to like and subscribe because it is annoying and by not doing that I feel like you are just talking with us as friends. That being said now that I know hitting the like button helps support what you do, I’ll be hitting like a lot. Keep bringing us along for the ride. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🪴🪴🪴🌿🌿🍓🍓🍓🌸🌸🌸🍷
Love ALL your videos! It’s all GREAT!!!!! Truthfully Laura- we’d watch you grocery shop or Clean out the chicken coup! Your enthusiasm has helped us through these last several years! Thank you 🙏🏻 for taking us alongside you and your Beautiful family❤️🙏🏻❤️ Sherry-Knoxville, Tennessee
Laura anything you film and share with us is great. Mum’s house, Andrews or at your house. Everything is fantastic. Laura you have cut back on using so many plants in containers I agree with you. As for under the Willow tree don’t change it because that’s Benjamin place. Over the years I’ve seen him so many times there just laying in the grass and having fun there. Love all the video’s no matter what. Appreciated. Thank you so very much for sharing with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
There's so much activity at the green house its great to have a spot to flop down on the grass right next to it, or work under the beautiful willow... Good, easy "flex space" is a valuable thing for the soul.
I watch Hollis and Nancy's Homestead for container growing education. Hollis sprinkles cinnamon over the seed starting soil after seeding to prevent the nats. He said cinnamon is a natural antifungal and he really hates those nats 🙃. I'm trying cinnamon this year. Two weeks in and so far no nats 🤞.
I love the recap videos. Hard to pick favorites, but these recaps are right up there for me. I think you always have just the right mix of variety in the topics you cover in the videos. I for one have never been bored, even when some things are repeated year to year. It’s the nature of gardening. Little tweaks and improvements along the way. Also great for new viewers. I’m here for whatever is on offer! Thanks for all you guys do!! 🙏💚💚💚
When you spoke about going to Andrews and just doing the fun stuff. It reminded me so much of us being grandparents and visiting the grandchildren just doing the fun stuff with them and not all the responsibilities we had as parents. Thank you for all the Joy you and Aaron bring. Blessings to your family.
Speaking of your parents' garden, I would love to see the background perennials and trees and structures that create the body of the garden before we dress it up with annuals and seasonal touches. We are ten years into our home and it feels like we are just getting to know what works. 30years experience is wisdom!
Regarding what happens if you don’t divide your dahlias.. In 2020 I bought a potted dahlia plant at my local garden center, I loved it so much I successfully stored the full clump of tubers and forced it in early spring 2021.. Halfway through the season the plant basically became a shrub and stopped flowering.. I was worried that it had leafy gall because of all of the growth on it… When I removed it in the fall, I had 123 tubers from that ONE plant! It was clear of leafy gall, but it basically over crowded itself..
Laura, have you ever thought about preserving your tree blossoms? For tea, to press them on cookies, or even make a cute project? I just started them today and I'm drying a metal kitchen bowl of them for now before I salt my peach blossoms.
Love my Sunday morning "Highlight" from you guys, it seems to start my week right with such good energy.🌱Dear Laura, I understand your love of your parents garden centre...At this time of year, Nature is so full of hope and possibilities.., new plants give me a giddy feeling...it gladdens the heart.. when still deep under snow🥶
☕️Happy Highlights Day to everyone. It’s sunny and on the way to warming up a bit here in Michigan, too. So fascinating to watch the hard work going on at Andrew’s. It’s a great insight to what it takes for all walks of retail businesses and the hard working people who make it available for us. I thank my grocery store and all other store staff members every time I go!! It wouldn’t be on the shelf if not for them. So wonderful seeing Aaron and getting his insight, too. I hope everyone stays safe and well, and know that my prayers continue for our friends in Europe. 🙏💕🌷🌸
Laura, I also enjoy the energy I get from other peoples adventures. You get it from the garden center and than pass it on to us. I love watching your videos because they inspire me to be a better gardener. Thank you for letting me be part of your beautiful family.
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️. I “Like” ALL your videos and would think most ppl do. Great recap as always. Looking forward to the snow melting up here in Boston and unburying my WS jugs! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I'm enough of a rebel that when somebody asks me to like/subscribe, I don't want to do it, no matter how much I love them! But for these guys, I like every video automatically because 1) they deserve it, and 2) I don't want TH-cam to let me miss a single video. It's more fun when it feels like my idea 😄
I still start all my days off on the treadmill watching you. When it warms my walks will be out doors. Besides all my fav parts, your trips with Aaron or anyone in your family, my next favorite thing is how nice you are to people. I just want to be nice but I would find myself screaming 'did you even watch the video?' I do it for you! I shake my head.....you are both so patient, so nice.....I couldn't do it. Lol.....
Always hit the Like first thing as I appreciate every video. It is always so nice to see Laura at Andrews working with her family. That you all help and have fun together is always lovely. The shopping trips are wonderful too. Thanks for all you do.
I didn’t realize liking the video helped things! I watch every single one, often times more than once lol. I will like every one for here on out! Thank you for everything you do!
The comment about asking for likes and comments actually made me think about how often I hit the like button. So I just did! I watch and rewatch your videos so many times and you just don't think about it. I'm going to be more conscious of it, because I love this channel and love to support you guys. You have sparked such a love of gardening in a city girl from N.Y who moved to Maryland years ago. Never cared to be outside in the garden until I stumbled across your channel years ago. Now it's Supertunias everywhere! Keep being exactly who you are, we love it!
Would a mini split heating and air conditioning unit work well in your flower shed? You do many cut flower projects in the summertime. It could be nice to keep everything and everyone cool for the duration. Thank you for your amazing work and energy. You sure inspire us!
You have some serious musical talent in your family. I'm not going to ask (again) for a concert, but just know that, speaking strictly for myself, any video featuring either of you playing would be very well-received. ~ Lisa
I love the videos on Dahlias. We had 3/4 acre in California and filled the borders with ferns, hostas, Canna lilies and other things. So satisfying to watch plants spread.
It’s the music. It’s wonderful. My grandkids have out grown it but the whole car full of girls including the adults would pull up to my house singing and wouldn’t get out until the song was over
You guys are great, love these videos too! Also, I just have to say how much I appreciate your full glass of ice 🧊 I'm an American in Europe and no one understands my need for ice. It just makes me smile (and feel normal) whenever I see your glass!
Do you ever use your amaryllis in outdoor summer arrangements? I usually move my pots outside after last frost, sprinkle some plant tone around them and they repeat flower throughout the summer. I move them to a cool garage before the first frost. I never see anyone else do this, but it's nice to have them as more than a Christmas flower. I was late bringing them out of cool storage this year, so I'm looking at their flowers right now!
I vote to leave the grass space under that gorgeous willow the way it is. The kids will have such great memories of playing there and laying on the grass with their Dad and you. Donna
Laura 19:29 this will clarify what I’m talking about. Take your phone to the iPhone store and have them do a quick vacuum clean on your speaker system. They do it for free. I was shocked that I could voice text again and also the audio was back to normal. They use some kind of machine to suck out the dirt and grime in your speakers. Have them do all the speakers ,it only takes a 5 minutes. Hugs 🤗 from Charlie‘s Chicks TH-cam channel.
Your channel is the best. I watch all your videos. I am glad you told us about liking them and about the algorithm because I was not hitting like. I went back and hit like on several videos that already had 11K and 12k likes but from now on, I will like them all. Thanks for all your videos. I even enjoy the ones that are not all about flowers. Don't change a thing.
Liking the video is the first thing I do when watching GA videos, even before watching. The algorithms on TH-cam (except for political videos) are such that you see more of the same, if you "like" the videos that you enjoy.
Aaron seems to be more comfortable being in front of the camera. 💜 I remember when he was just a voice in the distance. Much better putting a face with the voice. 😊 I think the entire country has dealt with Rollercoaster weather. I know here in Arkansas several times its been 72°🔥 and then 2 days later 17°-26° with sleet. 🥶
When you put it like that sounds boring but to us or to me i find it so exciting and interesting you guys don't have a single bad video! Ps if you don't know what to do with all those dahlias you can always do a dahlia giveaway 😄
Suggestion for the grass area next to the vegetable garden: Instead of flower beds, you could add a circler bench around the tree trunk. It could be made of wood, metal or concrete, depending on the feel you want to continue in the area. The added bench will give some interest without impeding onto the grass you want to keep to play and lay on.
Nice! Cement arched benches would keep with the formality with tufts of supertunias in between. I was watching the great gardens series and it hit me that Laura had a past life in one of those areas with tons of structure and symmetry and possibly an herb garden.
I found the beautiful video with Monica singing accompanied by Laura and Aaron from 2014. It's only a channel Aaron had. I typed Garden Answer Monica sings in the search bar.
Honestly with every video you post on both channels, I click the like on the video, then click play, then click full screen mode. I’m such a creature of habit, but I know that no matter what the video entails, I’m going to love it. Does anyone know if “liking” comments helps the channel also?
I know you don't love doing self promotion but I love my garden answer sweatshirt. It feels good supporting you after i've learned so so much from you. I would buy more merch!
I’ve never heard Aaron sing but I have heard him play the guitar. I have also heard Laura play the piano and I can say it is all fantastic. I think the question “do you have a good singing voice” would be hard to answer, especially for folks like Laura and Aaron who seem like people who are not going to toot their own horn, which is one reason I enjoy them. Anyway, Laura we know you try and keep the channel on topic of garden but MAYBE you could have Aaron record you guys playing and that could be the background music for one of your videos. THEN we get the best of both worlds! We can enjoy the music PLUS the video could still be garden related!

Well now you did it. Not only are we waiting for the piano playing, now we must hear Aaron sing and play. 🎹🎤🎹🎤❤️❤️
You commented you didn't like to play on camera. Perhaps you could play the background music for Ken to use 🎵🎶
Yes, PLEASE, Aaron. We all would LOVE to hear you play and sing. Don't have the camera pointed at you, while you do it. Then, technically, you are not on camera....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
You can hear 👂🏻 Laura’s sister Monica sing, Laura on Keyboard and Aaron on guitar on Aaron’s channel It is many years ago and so beautiful.

Makes so much since to volunteer at your parent's garden center and share the joy a gardening without the "bookwork" of the business.
Hope everyone has a great morning 🌄 dreaming of Spring Gardening 😃 😊. It was a productive week!

Keep the grass!
Does everyone imagine Laura's a great suitcase packer. Lol
I love when Laura goes to Andrews....seeing all the new plants and trees come in gives me ideas for what to add to my home and farm...after the unloading of the house plants I bought several new ones ...it's nice to see what is out there !
I did the same, after seeing the houseplant and succulent videos!!

I love the recap videos. Hard to pick favorites, but these recaps are right up there for me. I think you always have just the right mix of variety in the topics you cover in the videos. I for one have never been bored, even when some things are repeated year to year. It’s the nature of gardening. Little tweaks and improvements along the way. Also great for new viewers. I’m here for whatever is on offer! Thanks for all you guys do!! 🙏💚💚💚
Yes, recaps have become my favorite except for antiquing with your mom. Lots of variety!
When you spoke about going to Andrews and just doing the fun stuff. It reminded me so much of us being grandparents and visiting the grandchildren just doing the fun stuff with them and not all the responsibilities we had as parents. Thank you for all the Joy you and Aaron bring. Blessings to your family.
You should have a contest on the recap videos : How many ice cubes in Laura's drink?
Speaking of your parents' garden, I would love to see the background perennials and trees and structures that create the body of the garden before we dress it up with annuals and seasonal touches. We are ten years into our home and it feels like we are just getting to know what works. 30years experience is wisdom!
I had the tinny sound, took it to apple store, they cleaned the gunk out for free. 👍
Regarding what happens if you don’t divide your dahlias.. In 2020 I bought a potted dahlia plant at my local garden center, I loved it so much I successfully stored the full clump of tubers and forced it in early spring 2021.. Halfway through the season the plant basically became a shrub and stopped flowering.. I was worried that it had leafy gall because of all of the growth on it… When I removed it in the fall, I had 123 tubers from that ONE plant! It was clear of leafy gall, but it basically over crowded itself..
123 tubers, wow, that is fascinating. The clump would be so huge!
Wow!
That’s good to know! Thanks for your comment.
So good to know! I pray dividing that mass brings back the blooms this year!
I intend to like most videos I watch but sometimes forget. A quick reminder at the end is actually helpful to me.
Laura, have you ever thought about preserving your tree blossoms? For tea, to press them on cookies, or even make a cute project? I just started them today and I'm drying a metal kitchen bowl of them for now before I salt my peach blossoms.
On vermiculite: pick up the container. If it feels light, then the soil is dry.
Good thinking ! I need to remember this for my houseplants !
Love my Sunday morning "Highlight" from you guys, it seems to start my week right with such good energy.🌱Dear Laura, I understand your love of your parents garden centre...At this time of year, Nature is so full of hope and possibilities.., new plants give me a giddy feeling...it gladdens the heart.. when still deep under snow🥶
☕️Happy Highlights Day to everyone. It’s sunny and on the way to warming up a bit here in Michigan, too. So fascinating to watch the hard work going on at Andrew’s. It’s a great insight to what it takes for all walks of retail businesses and the hard working people who make it available for us. I thank my grocery store and all other store staff members every time I go!! It wouldn’t be on the shelf if not for them. So wonderful seeing Aaron and getting his insight, too. I hope everyone stays safe and well, and know that my prayers continue for our friends in Europe. 🙏💕🌷🌸
Alexandra at middle size Garden leaves her dahlias in ground and has whole video about it, but you have to divide them after three years or so.
Love her channel.
But what garden zone is she in?
@@lisbetsoda4874 They don't use zones in England, but I believe she has said that her climate is about equivalent to zone 9.
Laura, I also enjoy the energy I get from other peoples adventures. You get it from the garden center and than pass it on to us. I love watching your videos because they inspire me to be a better gardener. Thank you for letting me be part of your beautiful family.
Good morning, Laura & Aaron ☕️. I “Like” ALL your videos and would think most ppl do. Great recap as always. Looking forward to the snow melting up here in Boston and unburying my WS jugs! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I'm enough of a rebel that when somebody asks me to like/subscribe, I don't want to do it, no matter how much I love them! But for these guys, I like every video automatically because 1) they deserve it, and 2) I don't want TH-cam to let me miss a single video. It's more fun when it feels like my idea 😄
Thanks for explaining the “like” thing! I will be liking all future videos now ☺️
I still start all my days off on the treadmill watching you. When it warms my walks will be out doors. Besides all my fav parts, your trips with Aaron or anyone in your family, my next favorite thing is how nice you are to people. I just want to be nice but I would find myself screaming 'did you even watch the video?' I do it for you! I shake my head.....you are both so patient, so nice.....I couldn't do it. Lol.....
Always hit the Like first thing as I appreciate every video. It is always so nice to see Laura at Andrews working with her family. That you all help and have fun together is always lovely. The shopping trips are wonderful too. Thanks for all you do.
I didn’t realize liking the video helped things! I watch every single one, often times more than once lol. I will like every one for here on out! Thank you for everything you do!
Ok so now we need a video with Aaron singing and playing the guitar
The comment about asking for likes and comments actually made me think about how often I hit the like button. So I just did! I watch and rewatch your videos so many times and you just don't think about it. I'm going to be more conscious of it, because I love this channel and love to support you guys. You have sparked such a love of gardening in a city girl from N.Y who moved to Maryland years ago. Never cared to be outside in the garden until I stumbled across your channel years ago. Now it's Supertunias everywhere! Keep being exactly who you are, we love it!
Ok, I have a GREAT IDEA! You guys should make an intro song with Laura playing the piano, Aaron playing the guitar and singing with Monica!
Laura, anytime you feel the need to work in someone else's yard, my yard is available! Just saying! Love your videos and all you create.
Can't wait to see the trees you bought! The south garden is really coming together.
I love these recap videos. So glad you're still doing them.
Oh I'm so excited to see the new trees and where you'll place them! I look forward to that video! Hope ya'll have a great day too!
The more you sing the better you get … just like gardening… the more years you garden the better you get💘
So curious about the Hartley....cannot wait to see what happens in there this summer!!!!!
I have no problem with youtubers asking people to like... its a reminder too. I don't like clickbaiting titles.
Would a mini split heating and air conditioning unit work well in your flower shed? You do many cut flower projects in the summertime. It could be nice to keep everything and everyone cool for the duration. Thank you for your amazing work and energy. You sure inspire us!
You have some serious musical talent in your family. I'm not going to ask (again) for a concert, but just know that, speaking strictly for myself, any video featuring either of you playing would be very well-received. ~ Lisa
I love the videos on Dahlias. We had 3/4 acre in California and filled the borders with ferns, hostas, Canna lilies and other things. So satisfying to watch plants spread.
It’s the music. It’s wonderful. My grandkids have out grown it but the whole car full of girls including the adults would pull up to my house singing and wouldn’t get out until the song was over
You guys are great, love these videos too! Also, I just have to say how much I appreciate your full glass of ice 🧊 I'm an American in Europe and no one understands my need for ice. It just makes me smile (and feel normal) whenever I see your glass!
Laura please don’t feel you need to justify your ‘packing in’ style, it’s just who you are and we love you for it.
Do you ever use your amaryllis in outdoor summer arrangements? I usually move my pots outside after last frost, sprinkle some plant tone around them and they repeat flower throughout the summer. I move them to a cool garage before the first frost. I never see anyone else do this, but it's nice to have them as more than a Christmas flower. I was late bringing them out of cool storage this year, so I'm looking at their flowers right now!
I didn’t really know that liking the videos helped with the algorithm! Definitely will like them all now. 👍🏼
ok: we need singing/piano playing videos :) Aaron, you, Monica.. yeah, that's the ticket
I think the metal containers are from the wholesale vendor called The Park Hill Collection here in the US.
I vote to leave the grass space under that gorgeous willow the way it is. The kids will have such great memories of playing there and laying on the grass with their Dad and you. Donna
Laura 19:29 this will clarify what I’m talking about. Take your phone to the iPhone store and have them do a quick vacuum clean on your speaker system.
They do it for free.
I was shocked that I could voice text again and also the audio was back to normal.
They use some kind of machine to suck out the dirt and grime in your speakers.
Have them do all the speakers ,it only takes a 5 minutes.
Hugs 🤗 from Charlie‘s Chicks TH-cam channel.
Your channel is the best. I watch all your videos. I am glad you told us about liking them and about the algorithm because I was not hitting like. I went back and hit like on several videos that already had 11K and 12k likes but from now on, I will like them all. Thanks for all your videos. I even enjoy the ones that are not all about flowers. Don't change a thing.
Let’s “like” this video!
Liking the video is the first thing I do when watching GA videos, even before watching. The algorithms on TH-cam (except for political videos) are such that you see more of the same, if you "like" the videos that you enjoy.
Laura, would love to have you play a little for us again on that wonderful piano!!! Please?
Oh my gosh -got a belly laugh with-“It’s not bad?” From Aaron in regards to singing. Thanks. Needed a laugh.
I like the video before I even watch😂😂😂, but then again I always like them!!! I also appreciate you not saying please like and subscribe 😉
Ugh oh. Now I want to hear Aaron sing.
Aaron seems to be more comfortable being in front of the camera. 💜 I remember when he was just a voice in the distance. Much better putting a face with the voice. 😊
I think the entire country has dealt with Rollercoaster weather. I know here in Arkansas several times its been 72°🔥 and then 2 days later 17°-26° with sleet. 🥶
Leave the grass!!! It’s a beautiful space too!
When you put it like that sounds boring but to us or to me i find it so exciting and interesting you guys don't have a single bad video! Ps if you don't know what to do with all those dahlias you can always do a dahlia giveaway 😄
Suggestion for the grass area next to the vegetable garden: Instead of flower beds, you could add a circler bench around the tree trunk. It could be made of wood, metal or concrete, depending on the feel you want to continue in the area. The added bench will give some interest without impeding onto the grass you want to keep to play and lay on.
Nice!
Cement arched benches would keep with the formality with tufts of supertunias in between.
I was watching the great gardens series and it hit me that Laura had a past life in one of those areas with tons of structure and symmetry and possibly an herb garden.
I found the beautiful video with Monica singing accompanied by Laura and Aaron from 2014. It's only a channel Aaron had. I typed Garden Answer Monica sings in the search bar.

Looking forward to seeing your new trees…
Honestly with every video you post on both channels, I click the like on the video, then click play, then click full screen mode. I’m such a creature of habit, but I know that no matter what the video entails, I’m going to love it. Does anyone know if “liking” comments helps the channel also?
I know you don't love doing self promotion but I love my garden answer sweatshirt. It feels good supporting you after i've learned so so much from you. I would buy more merch!
Well now we need to hear Aaron sing!! 🎤 lol i hope we are not pushing it. Love to see the both of you in the videos. 🤎🎶
Love these videos when the two of you talk back and forth. Sweet family!
I’ve never heard Aaron sing but I have heard him play the guitar. I have also heard Laura play the piano and I can say it is all fantastic. I think the question “do you have a good singing voice” would be hard to answer, especially for folks like Laura and Aaron who seem like people who are not going to toot their own horn, which is one reason I enjoy them. Anyway, Laura we know you try and keep the channel on topic of garden but MAYBE you could have Aaron record you guys playing and that could be the background music for one of your videos. THEN we get the best of both worlds! We can enjoy the music PLUS the video could still be garden related!
