    I agree with what Aaron said. Laura is so good at that “conversational” style in front of the camera. So natural, witty, entertaining, while being informative. Aaron is no slouch at it, too. It’s one reason ( among many) that I enjoy Garden Answer so much. I can see how far you’ve come by looking at old videos from your first year at it. Laura and Aaron, you both rock at what you do. Hope you never stop! 💚💚💚💚

      I was just thinking that exact thing about how far Laura and Aaron have come, even since just last year. Their video and presentation skills have really improved, and I'm including Ken here, too. The older videos were great, but this year they're just spectacular. Very professional. ~ Lisa

      Cannot agree more. I came to their channel late, like in May this year, so I've been making time to watch their old (like back in 2015) playlists. She was a bit stiff at first (which is kinda cute and charming) and has been getting more comfortable over the years. It's so natural, like we get to see her process of growing more confident, and that's why I love their channel the most. My second best is Jenny's, therefore I was so thrilled to see them working together earlier.

      You guys’ videos are really the most professional and polished out there. There are no uuummms and singsong explanations etc. The only thing that I see consistently is the misuse of the possessive apostrophe…. Such as when you label your videos “My parent’s garden” when the proper way to spell that is “my parents’ garden”. Heads up Christmas cards are coming up. 🙂🙂

    I appreciate whatever you post, whenever you post. In the world of You Tube, daily posting is almost unheard of. Yes, we are a spoiled group. Do what works for your family and to sustain your channel. I’d rather know that I can watch new videos from GA in the years ahead than have you burn out and go by the wayside.

      Me also, not going anywhere, I work and come home and garden.
      I watch videos getting ready for work or when I should be sleeping.
      Sometimes while I am weeding, deadheading etc.
      I don't expect them to please me, although they always do.
      Inspired and love they share their families with us.

      I truly think Aaron is right and it would be a good idea if you did 5 videos a week on your main channel. I think your viewers would totally understand and we would rather have you put that extra time into your marriage and your family life!

  • @Uncle_Scotts_Doombox
    @Uncle_Scotts_Doombox 2 ปีที่แล้ว +104

    Laura, as someone who has been watching gardening programs for decades I’d like to assure you that you are in fact very, very good at what you do. It kills me when you sell yourself short, because you are an excellent host.
    I know you don’t really want that sort of career, but you could easily get work as a TV presenter. Not only your personality, but also your willingness to engage with your viewers is a rare talent that is a lot less common than you’d think. I’ve been watch your channel for years because you make your videos engaging. You can’t fake that with editing and fancy camera tricks. All that stuff just supports the reason that we all watch, you.
    Driven and creative people are always their own worst critics, so if you see this, please be more charitable to yourself. I promise you deserve it. :)

A great marriage is one where each lets the other shine, and stands by their side to enjoy the ‘glow’. Thank you for being so positive about gardening life, and the day to day we all endure during these changing times. 🍂🌾🌻🌝💚

      @DebzZi 2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      I agree fully. Laura you should not sell yourself short, no one is an expert in every aspect of gardening but you are an expert in what you do. You have a wealth of knowledge and it's apparent, a degree or diploma would not make you more of an authority! I watch a lot of garden videos from South Africa, UK, Australia and the USA. You are my favourite (the only one I watch religiously) and I learn so much from you even though I garden in a completely different climate, on a different continent and different hemisphere, and i have clay soil and wet winters! But I do also battle the high pH soil!!! I so wish I could grow gardenias and azaleas lol 😆 Even my husband now asks what your video was about each day!! My garden looks all the better for the inspiration you provide me daily. Thank you.

    Laura, I watch daily❤️ But go with 5 days, at least till those babies get in middle/high school. I’m “old school” and stayed home with my son. Only worked part time when he got in middle school. It’s a choice I made and I’m sure my comments will not be appreciated by lots of people. I was not going to work paying “someone else” to care for him, and then I would only get 2 to 3 hours before putting him to bed. I choose this and never ever regretted it. Had to do without (nice cars, clothes, etc.). When his fiancé learned he got 3 sit down meals a day, she was in awe and I was sad for her. Sorry ,comment to long, just want to encourage this to all those who can make this life choice💕

    So true “comparison is the killer of joy”. What I like about Garden Answer is the constant consideration given to all types of landscapes and scale of gardens, it is constantly reiterated in one form or another that each gardener needs to take this into account. Gardening along side you is such a joy because I have started out from killing plants thus wanting to give up, then I found GA and I now have a garden that constantly fascinates and heals me. Thank you for all that I have learnt, including courage to persevere.
    PS: For what it is worth, 5 days a week is more than sufficient (given most content creators post once/twice a week). I would love GA to be here for a long time, therefore, REST and spending time with your young FAMILY is so important.

    • @l.m.4014

    I think 5 videos & a recap is still incredibly generous. If that’s what works best for you, I would encourage you to do it. We want GA for the long haul. If 1 or 2 fewer videos a week equates to more years of longevity, I’d happily make that trade anytime
    Also, Laura you are an excellent presenter. There’s no such thing as doing everything in one take. I hope you don’t feel you need to be “perfect.” That doesn’t exist. The product you deliver to us is informative, personable, approachable and infused with kindness. You, Aaron & the team give us so much and we are deeply grateful. Thank You

Then there's massive amounts of time it takes to not just edit and stream music - and the time it takes to film all this great content, I'm not sure that most people realize this, and perhaps they do, and maybe that's why they LOVE you two and Benjamin and the baby so much! I really appreciate you posts, as I always watch Laura's sweet demeanor and beautiful energy in the mornings!

    For the 73 yr old gal that was asking about the auger. I am 63 and I used a high powered drill for a few years. But this yr it hit me in the thigh and I was bruised for several weeks. My son purchased a concrete drill for me and they have lower motor power. I am much happier with it. But it still can grab and twist your wrists. So if you did get one be very aware of that. You might be able to get some help with planting if you had one and got some help. Best of luck in what you decide.

    Being in a dry climate your soil would be very low in organic matter compared to Seattle where it stays wet and green year round. Since organic matter is very important for holding water while maintaining drainage your soil would not be able to hold nearly as much water. Doesn't matter how much you water, there is nothing in the soil to retain it unless the water can't drain through and you get a puddle or muddy area. It will get better, just keep doing what you're doing!

Some people just can't separate the two so its wise of you to remind people that your life is "edited" whereas our everyday lives are not. You seem to have a smart balance worked out. As much as I love your videos I totally support Aaron's desire to go to 5 videos per week. The years pass too quickly. Enjoy the little years with your precious babes.

Definitely agree with Aaron that you can use the highlights channel for the varied stuff. If you give us another channel to follow it will make me crazy. I have sooooooo many channels to follow, I don't really want another channel. Change the name of the highlights channel to something like "Garden Answer - Hit or Miss" or "Impetuous Garden Answer" or "Casual Garden Answer" all meaning this is the spot where your non regular videos go. So you could put the cooking videos, or Benjamin's videos (as he starts doing more) or just special projects that aren't really garden related, but we all love to watch.

Now I’m 65 and still enjoying the beauty of my garden. Newfoundland is an island and I live on the east coast near the Atlantic Ocean. We sit pretty well on rock and I have never heard of iron deficiency in plants it’s just not a problem here. I love your videos and Aron your camera work is pure magic! Thank you both for sharing your home and garden with us. 💜💜

    Growing up in the northeast I always planted bulbs with a handful of sand and bone meal. Now living in a more country setting I had to forgo bone meal due to raccoons and a small springer spaniel, Got a great tip for the problem-you can use oyster shells for both drainage and calcium when planting bulbs. Totally enjoyed the Creekside collaboration video just like and old fashion barn raising.

I hear what you are saying about what goes on behind the scenes. I can't imagine, even with help, trying to balance it all! Would it make sense to review the videos in the morning and release them after they are ready? I so look forward to the seeing the videos first thing in the morning now that I am retired, but before that while I was working, I would view them in the evenings after dinner. It may not even be feasible, as it pushes out your filming to later in the day. Just trying to bring more balance to your lives. The lines between home and work can be very blurred when you work from home, as many of us experienced during quarantine.
