    Your fans watch your videos because of YOU! (And Aaron, Benjamin and now Samantha Grace). We don’t require a perfect set with a proper backdrop and you using all the proper tools. If people are looking for perfection in production, they can watch HGTV or PBS, etc. Those of us who want REAL LIFE, and a real connection with someone we can relate to, will watch GA (or any other channel you develop). ❤️

    One of the draws to your channel is the very aspect of it being real - everyone can associate themselves with it. You don't need to create a special set up for cooking - just be what you are; natural 😁

      Exactly my thoughts. I love how lived in the kitchen is and how lura doesn’t use the “correct” tool to get the job done ( like 90% of us do ) the whole cooking videos and walking around gathering stuff is very wholesome and relatable ♥️♥️ I wouldn’t have it any other way

      Exactly! You are natural ( your self doing it your way) in your gardening. Be natural and
      relatable with your cooking. I watch you every day you post. Gardening is your gift I have learned so much from you. I thank you for that. I can watch so many others for cooking. Do the cooking videos when you feel like it and so them your way

    Oh Laura. You're so sweet. But, " life IS the messy bits" don't stress on toys in back ground, or your kitchen looks lived in. It is and you have a wonderful channel and a simply delightful family. You, Aaron, and family have lifted up so many of us who really are alone with clean kitchens and no one to help mess it up. Don't be so hard on yourself.

    Just to add to the comment about saving money on produce, even if a person doesn't save on cost of produce, NOTHING beats the TASTE of fresh produce picked from the garden! Also, it's so nice when making dinner to just go out to the garden and pick what you need. Besides the fact that gardening is good for the soul!

    • @lisaburnette6850

      One of the things I love most about Garden Answer is Aaron and Laura's willingness to be REAL. I can find perfection in air blown pictures of cooking magazines or professionally styled kitchens on HGTV. I'm tired of being sold a bill of goods for the unachievable. I have a family and we live in a home.We live a real life. That is our connection.

      Dawn, I so agree with you!! Her cooking video is as real as it gets for most of us in our own homes. It doesn’t need to be professional. Seeing toys in the background or mail on the counter or even the stack of pantry items on a project in progress. Our lives are not always perfect and proper and her cooking videos prove that. No cooking channel Laura! Like Dawn says “stay the course” and keep it real.

    A cooking video every once in a while would be great. I enjoyed watching you cook in your kitchen with Benjamin, and it was just a real Mom and Benjamin experience. I appreciate how you value putting out excellent content and doing good technical videography, but most of us who enjoy your channel know you are not a cooking show. It could just be a change of pace occasionally if the timing seems right. I enjoy your videos with your mom for the same reason. I surely enjoy your videos of all types, seeing the kitties, the various things happening in your life like planting at the community college, and glimpse of those precious children. Your parents are so lucky you and those kiddos live close by. Mine all live in another state.

    Hi everyone, Laura I meant to comment about your cooking vlog. I totally see Benjamin becoming an organic Chef. The way u have him try everything & take the time to appreciate the food u grow is awesome. If I were blessed with children, I would have raised them to same way. I love every vlog u do. Whether cooking, gardening, shopping with your mom. Don't let people's comments about using correct tools/knives discourage u from producing vlog, chances are they've also used the wrong tool to do a job. Have a great weekend & I hope you all lots of rest, love, & speedy recovery.

    “Why are you cooking with a curved pairing knife,” I much like you Laura could never get bogged down in those minute things it’s a knife, it’s sharp, it gets the jobs done. 🤣🤣🤣

    I tried to explain to my 26 year old landscaper son why I watch all your videos and laugh and or learn each time ,when I’m in my flower garden and container gardening all the time. It’s because it’s real and you like things I like and give me new options. I grew huge sunflowers 🌻 this year because of you and tripled the Angelonia “ because it brings me joy”. I think that’s a semi quote from you or your Mom.

      We installed radiant heating in a bathroom remodel. It keeps the room toasty. However, I don’t know how the summer cooling would be managed but there must be a system that does both.

    Laura, one of the things I appreciate about you is your cut to the chase methods. You don't bog yourself down with "the right way" thinking continuously. You get at it and accomplish the task. It turns out beautifully nine times out of ten. That is very helpful and motivating for me.
    And I enjoy your cooking episodes BECAUSE it's in your real home with real family life happening. That's the reason why you and Aaron are a success. You are down to earth and you share it with us!
    Anyways, hope you all feel tip top soon. Keep on, keeping on. 💪

    Gardeniing, like knitting for me, is therapeutic. So growing your own veggies and purchasing yarn ( for me) is inexpensive compared to therapy costs. At least that's what I inform my darling husband. 😉💕

    • @saraw8503
      @saraw8503 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Agree! I garden in spring and fall. I knit in summer and winter. Two very different energy levels, but both satisfying. My disposable income buys yarn, tools, and patterns or seeds, plants, and garden tools. I recently bought a hose link…..game changer. Hubs was so happy he now doesn’t step over hoses.

    • @mariankay6482

      I'm a crocheter and feel the same way. I've begun working on Christmas presents, already. It's so fun! I've been learning to crochet "real" socks! I got a lesson from Marly Bird. She and another woman have created a whole course in it. That is so exciting for me. I wish I had learned to knit as well as crochet. But, learning how to make these socks should be something I can use for other projects that will make them have a knit appearance. Pretty cool!
      Still, as expensive as yarn can be, it is cheaper than many medications and doctor visits.
      What's your favorite yarns, ladies?

    Good morning! I was excited to see a review of your channel come up in my feed this week from “Money Matters “ I think it was. They had a lot of nice things to say, but they got a lot of facts wrong. The video clips they used weren’t even of you guys. So in the end I was feeling anxious and frustrated. It made me realize how envolved, committed, and possessive to your channel I am. Love you guys and all you do!! Hope you’re all feeling better! 💚💚💚

    One less video and still the earth continued spinning. Keep on taking care of yourselves and those sweet children. Benjamin is a sweet child and reflects the great parenting he receives. Can’t wait for Samantha Grace to start talking and walking and adding to the videos. God Bless 💕🙏

    I personally love your cooking videos just because you use your “lived in” kitchen. It’s real and relatable. Switching to a more staged kitchen would loose its draw I bet for a lot of us. We don’t mind (and even like) the toys in the background and the occasional “low quality” video when we get real life and real cooking in return. 💗💗💗

    I feel the reason your videos are so well liked is because the are real not done in a studio. The cooking in your own kitchen with noise is just fine. I would tend to watch them more if done in a real way! I miss cooking with my littles around asking questions and sitting on the counters, licking fingers. Just my opinion. 😊

    Laura we could just watch what your family does on a daily basis. I do hope you take us along when you start the renovation process of your home. I love all your cooking videos and I don't care what knife you use. Having Benjamin in your videos is exactly the icing on the cake. I love watching Benjamin help you and also love how he enjoys being outside playing and using his imagination. Would love a video of you inspecting your garden in the evening with the little ones and Aaron in tow.

  • @tinawilliams3395

    One of the things I love about your channel is that you are real. Toy John deer in the background, check...red car in the studio check, check. You always have a moment and a kind word for Bud and to pet Russell. Never change, it is a wonderful life you live.

  • @joycemeinhardt425
    @joycemeinhardt425 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The charm of your cooking videos is the reality of them! Life happens in the kitchen… toys and tv sounds in the background, plants and dishes sitting nearby, warm lighting, well loved utensils. Most of us don’t have immaculately staged kitchens (personally, I couldn’t function in one!) so I enjoy seeing someone try new recipes using what cookware they have on hand. I’ve been influenced into buying cookware and small appliances by watching shows and then find that I could have achieved the same result using what I already had. Just keep being you, in your space. That’s what we all enjoy! I do hope Aaron and the little ones are all feeling much better!

    The last question I might have to disagree with slightly. The flavor of home grown veggies out weight the cost of growing hands down. For example my grown son will not eat broccoli from the store that has been cooked. However mine from the garden is so sweet in comparison to store bought that it’s worth every minute of time and money put in to growing it. Same goes for many other veggies that are home grown. Not to mention how it’s grown. I could go on forever about that. ❤️ but I won’t.

    • @denisedorsey2889
      @denisedorsey2889 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3
