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
I hope everyone feels better soon. It’s that time of year I guess but PLEASE never feel like you have to do a video for us. Your family comes first❤️❤️

It's funny how we all see things differently. I never noticed what kind of knife you were using. I tend to be the same way. I don't always have the "right" tools, but I can make it work. I call it ingenuity. 🤣🤣 To me, that is part of the draw of your channel....you guys keep it real. In this world of fakeness, realness and truthfulness are soooo important.

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!
That’s what I was thinking! Nothing tastes better than homegrown produce, grocery store or even farmers market produce doesn’t compare, especially with tomatoes 🍅
And you know what was sprayed on it! So many store fruits and veggies have been treated or sprayed with who knows what. I like knowing that it's a better food for my family.
Hey Laura we don’t need you to be professional in the kitchen, there’s plenty of that on the Food Network channel. Your down to earth style is what we love. I use a butter knife too as a tool, it’s more convenient. Hopefully everyone gets well soon.
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.
Oh my goodness Laura you are “cracking” my heart. …. I thought a butter knife had a second life as a screwdriver!! Sure hope that everyone is feeling much better and that this is the only bout you have to experience this year. Thank you soooooooo much for sharing your lives with us it is such a joyful ride for us all.

Aaron hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself. So glad the children are feeling better. Laura, Please never feel guilty about putting your family first. Your loyal fans understand and will be here for the long haul. You will burn out if you don't take time for yourself and your family. Benjamin is so sweet "you cracked my heart" is perfect example of his nature. Loved his talk at the end of the garden center video. 💖🧸
Laura, a cooking channel would be your nightmare. Lots of critics and technique. bS. Just be you, stay the course. You are the “light” for many of us. 💖
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.
I like the fact that your cooking videos are just natural and not perfectly staged, like how the rest of us cook. We don't need fancy lighting to learn a good recipe! Hope everyone heals thoroughly this week!!

A cooking channel ?????? Between planting a gazillion spring bulbs , planting all the trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals , assorted veggies and berries.....then there's the occasional antiquing days and foraging in the mountains at Christmas time , with mom.....occasional recipie cooking , crafty projects ( like butterfly garden building ), and did we mention edging ( a huge property one might add ) also weeding said property.....whew.....sure , lets do another channel......are you kidding i say you're quite the champ for all you already do ( help or no help )

I would MUCH prefer seeing a cooking video where there are toys in the background! Farmhouse on Boone is a place I like to visit and watch her TH-cam videos. She has 6 kids, an old farmhouse that they restored, shares her cooking experience. Most importantly, "life" happens there. I love that. Life happens where you live as well, Laura. That's how all of us live. It's refreshing.

We like it real. ..so cooking in your kitchen is just fine. I'm sure maybe you could do a few more during winter to mix it up since there isn't much gardening to do . Aaron get well soon and Laura stay well. ❤

I found as I was gardening this week, I was incorporating lessons learned from your videos. For example, cleaning up the edging in some of my beds & really packing it in when doing my container plantings. I normally wrapped up gardening by the end of September, but now I know there is so much I can do late in the season. Thanks for your videos!
Honestly the fact that your kitchen doesn't look staged is why I love your cooking videos. The lighting and camera quality don't bother me either. Neither does the fact that you used a paring knife. I like that you keep it real and I hope you continue to film them that way 😁
Life surrounding you is what makes these videos perfect. It makes us feel as you are family because life surrounds us all. Always keep your North Star, you are so good about brushing off the negative Nancy s. Prayers for the whole family to feel better soon.

loved this recap! I was blessed to be able to visit my daughter in California last week and since it is finally their rainy season, I replanted her flower pots and a very small ground bed. The joy was seeing how it made her smile and I had good help with my mother in law. The family that gardens together, stays together! :)
I hope everyone is feeling better now. Regarding the cooking: who cares what you used to prepare the food as long as it turned out delicious and you enjoyed it with your family. Continue keeping it real Laura we appreciate it. :)
fyi.... the "extra" in your background of cooking video is why we love you.... it's the same for us and we love it! You're just you and your family is part of your life, so continue to share with us!!
Get well soon Aaron! I hope everyone is feeling well by now, blessings! Hi Corey, 25:24 nice to see you around here, yours are one of my favorites gardening channel, and as you I enjoy greatly all Garden Answer content. And Laura, for me your cooking videos are PERFECTION as they are, not over produced and so relatable.
Hello 👋 i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️all over the world I'm originally from Canada currently living in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
Hope you all feel better soon. Those perfect kitchens on cooking shows are sets at a tv studio! Maybe Martha Stewart's is an exception. Restaurant kitchens are functional, not pretty. Your kitchen is a family kitchen, a family with young kids.
Hello 👋 i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️all over the world I'm originally from Canada currently living in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
I'm sorry to hear that you guys have been sick . I was sick for the last two weeks and then today we all had to stay home from church because my husband and children got sick. So we can emphasize! Praying you all feel better soon!
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.
Do not apologize for taking a day off to take care of your children! We are blessed anytime you can do a video for us! We love your sweet family from afar.
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. 😉💕
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.
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! 💚💚💚
Missed Aaron’s participation. But sorry he wasn’t feeling well . Appreciate you both seem to know when you need to step back. 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 💕🙏
Hello 👋 i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞🕊️all over the world I'm originally from Canada currently living in Key West Florida and you where are you from if i may ask?
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. 😊
I love you Laura! Your attitude about everything is just like mine.... still. I'm 77, lol! It frees you up from a LOT of stress! Keep it up, its who you are. Love watching Benjamin! The face he made tasting the lime was hilarious! Praying wellness comes quickly.
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.
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.
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!
Enjoy your family and never apologize for putting them first. In a blink of an eye they are grown. And now I’m a great grandma and it went so fast. Prayers for your family getting better. Aaron get some much needed rest. Hug those sweet little ones and hope you are all better soon!
So sorry the family was having a hard time this past week. It's hard to keep up a do it yourself type of job when illness strikes everyone. Don't worry about us. We will wait until you are all well. You did a great job on your own this week! Thanks for putting in all the efforts to bring us great content.
So Sorry Aron is Not feeling well. Thanks for sitting through the recap video. Another great video. Thank you so very much for sharing. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Big hugs to all, hope you're feeling better soon 😘 good that that Hartley is on hold until springtime, you deserve a winter break 🙂 and I'm already looking forward to those future videos 😂👍👍👍 take care! 🙂💖
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.
I don’t think you are in disagreement. Laura was really just addressing the heart of the question which was whether or not it was less expensive to grow your own. I know she would agree with you!

💯!
Yes! So many “indoor women” comment on her attire. Maybe they should try manual labor just once in their lives to realize how sad they sound!
I'd Take 5 minutes of Garden Answer instead of a week of HGTV. Love Laura and family!!@

Laura, you are clearly a results oriented person! That’s not at all bad! I use a butter knife as a screw driver if that’s the quickest option too!
Lol, a dime makes a great screwdriver when you don't have tools nearby!
Yep I've don't that for most of my life (71yo atm) and my mum before me. Most of our butter knives have the telltale bent tips. Hi from Aus.

Between planting a gazillion spring bulbs , planting all the trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals , assorted veggies and berries.....then there's the occasional antiquing days and foraging in the mountains at Christmas time , with mom.....occasional recipie cooking , crafty projects ( like butterfly garden building ), and did we mention edging ( a huge property one might add ) also weeding said property.....whew.....sure , lets do another channel......are you kidding
i say you're quite the champ for all you already do ( help or no help )
Well said! I love everything Laura does and am continually amazed at all she accomplishes.
Please NO cooking channel!!! Just the gardening please!!!
Yes, please spend your limited time on gardening (and antiquing with Mom).

Loved the question about cleaning the tools, the look on the face and the honesty. I don’t clean mine either.

Do you think Russell has been promoted again? 🐈 😻 From General Manager to King of the Estate? 🤴 Love his confidence and ❤ love!
Good morning! Hope everyone is feeling a little better today. Always like watching the highlights and getting to see Russell is a bonus. Have a restful Sunday.
Love those kitties.

Good morning from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
You know we all understand your family needs. Please take the time you need.

I would MUCH prefer seeing a cooking video where there are toys in the background! Farmhouse on Boone is a place I like to visit and watch her TH-cam videos. She has 6 kids, an old farmhouse that they restored, shares her cooking experience. Most importantly, "life" happens there. I love that. Life happens where you live as well, Laura. That's how all of us live. It's refreshing.
Agreed! I love that channel (and this one ofc).

We like it real. ..so cooking in your kitchen is just fine. I'm sure maybe you could do a few more during winter to mix it up since there isn't much gardening to do . Aaron get well soon and Laura stay well. ❤

I found as I was gardening this week, I was incorporating lessons learned from your videos. For example, cleaning up the edging in some of my beds & really packing it in when doing my container plantings. I normally wrapped up gardening by the end of September, but now I know there is so much I can do late in the season. Thanks for your videos!
Honestly the fact that your kitchen doesn't look staged is why I love your cooking videos. The lighting and camera quality don't bother me either. Neither does the fact that you used a paring knife. I like that you keep it real and I hope you continue to film them that way 😁
Life surrounding you is what makes these videos perfect. It makes us feel as you are family because life surrounds us all. Always keep your North Star, you are so good about brushing off the negative Nancy s. Prayers for the whole family to feel better soon.

loved this recap! I was blessed to be able to visit my daughter in California last week and since it is finally their rainy season, I replanted her flower pots and a very small ground bed. The joy was seeing how it made her smile and I had good help with my mother in law. The family that gardens together, stays together! :)
9 1/2 inches of rain in N. California since yesterday. Still coming down! Sooooo needed.
I hope everyone is feeling better now.
Regarding the cooking: who cares what you used to prepare the food as long as it turned out delicious and you enjoyed it with your family. Continue keeping it real Laura we appreciate it. :)
fyi.... the "extra" in your background of cooking video is why we love you.... it's the same for us and we love it! You're just you and your family is part of your life, so continue to share with us!!
Get well soon Aaron! I hope everyone is feeling well by now, blessings! Hi Corey, 25:24 nice to see you around here, yours are one of my favorites gardening channel, and as you I enjoy greatly all Garden Answer content. And Laura, for me your cooking videos are PERFECTION as they are, not over produced and so relatable.
Thank you so much!! I have gotten a TON of inspiration from Laura. She is awesome!! And I agree, her cooking videos are perfect!!
Awww I hope everyone feels better soon. It’s hard when the crud hits the whole house 😭

I got a ton of those black crates from a local orchard. They sold them to me for $1 each.
Hi Laura, wishing Aaron, Benjamin and Samantha Grace a speedy recovery.
REAL cooking in the kitchen is better than staged anyday. Those of us that watch you are here for that reason...we relate. Stay relatable!
Hope you all feel better soon.
Those perfect kitchens on cooking shows are sets at a tv studio! Maybe Martha Stewart's is an exception. Restaurant kitchens are functional, not pretty. Your kitchen is a family kitchen, a family with young kids.

I'm sorry to hear that you guys have been sick . I was sick for the last two weeks and then today we all had to stay home from church because my husband and children got sick. So we can emphasize! Praying you all feel better soon!
Love seeing a video Sunday mornings, yup have my coffee, I'm all set. Hope you all feel better real soon.
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. 🤣🤣🤣
Did anyone see the PW ad pop up…raise your spirits? That was clever for this time of year.😊
My favorite comment? You grab a butter knife and use it as a screwdriver. Been there, done that! Ha!
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.
Wow! 5 days of rain Laura! I bet you're happy for the rain! 😊
You should look into Radiant Heating through the floor..it’s what is done here in Norway from houses to garages to greenhouses 👍
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.
Russel has a plan to take over.
Love it!
Good morning everyone have a blessed day
I pray for a speedy recovery everyone God bless you all stay safe
Praying for your family to start feeling better soon!!
Bless him Aaron sounded really rough. Hope you get better soon Aaron.
Do not apologize for taking a day off to take care of your children! We are blessed anytime you can do a video for us! We love your sweet family from afar.
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. 💪
I am really enjoying the Sunday recaps.😀💛💚💙💜❤🐱🐈I love the real life cooking videos.
God grant you and your family good health, safety and prosperity!
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. 😉💕
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.
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?
Yessss!!! Love it! 😀
Self care should not be a replacement for therapy, especially since therapy is a tool to get additional and outside input on problems
Now if only they could respond!! 🤣😜
I love those tall bushel baskets you have for storing produce. They remind me of my childhood.
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! 💚💚💚
Missed Aaron’s participation. But sorry he wasn’t feeling well . Appreciate you both seem to know when you need to step back.
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 like the cooking videos just as they are! They are wonderful.
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. 💗💗💗
Good morning Laura, I wish Samantha Grace and Aaron a fast recovery. Take care and stay safe. 🤗
What a trooper Aaron was to film when under the weather. Thanks for the video.
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. 😊
I love you Laura! Your attitude about everything is just like mine.... still. I'm 77, lol! It frees you up from a LOT of stress! Keep it up, its who you are. Love watching Benjamin! The face he made tasting the lime was hilarious! Praying wellness comes quickly.
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.
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.
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!
My daughter use to say "you're making my feelings cry". I love that.
Oh my! 😩💔
My son used to say “You hurt my heart” whenever he got his feelings hurt!
You don't get bogged down by trying to be always perfect is exactly why we love Garden Answer. #keepingitreal
Miss your input Aaron. Feel better soon. Great vid.
Sooo loved Russell's tail antics--I laughed out loud! Then the follow up squinty eyes, like innocence.
Enjoy your family and never apologize for putting them first. In a blink of an eye they are grown. And now I’m a great grandma and it went so fast. Prayers for your family getting better. Aaron get some much needed rest. Hug those sweet little ones and hope you are all better soon!
So sorry the family was having a hard time this past week. It's hard to keep up a do it yourself type of job when illness strikes everyone. Don't worry about us. We will wait until you are all well. You did a great job on your own this week! Thanks for putting in all the efforts to bring us great content.
Hope you all doing well Laura❤️
So Sorry Aron is Not feeling well. Thanks for sitting through the recap video. Another great video. Thank you so very much for sharing. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Big hugs to all, hope you're feeling better soon 😘 good that that Hartley is on hold until springtime, you deserve a winter break 🙂 and I'm already looking forward to those future videos 😂👍👍👍 take care! 🙂💖
Hi everyone! Feel better guys. Love your videos very much.
Get better soon, Aaron, we missed you 🤗
I hope you guys all feel better soon, prayers for a quick recovery ❤️❤️🌻🌻
Get well soon Aaron😊🌷
Morning you two 🙂 Hope everyone is feeling better soon!!
Sending Healing vibes to Aaron and Samantha! I hope and pray it has nothing to do with Covid. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy. Big Hugs. xo
Hope you feel better soon Aaron.
You are the master gardener that’s why you use whatever tool available to get the work done and carry the same philosophy to rest of the stuff
A butter knife screw driver 🤣😅 I knew you and I had a lot in common.
What an absolutely PERFECT timing! Just made food and sat down to eat omg! Hope your family gets well really really soon! Sending good vibes!
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.
I don’t think you are in disagreement. Laura was really just addressing the heart of the question which was whether or not it was less expensive to grow your own. I know she would agree with you!

Good Day everyone! Speak of Russell and there he is 🐈
I put some hot peppers from my garden in my curry so good. My husband loved it. Thank you for the recipe.
Aaron, get well soon!
