    I am a disabled elder. Many nights, I take my tablet to bed early, telling my daughter that I am going to spend some time with my friend, Laura. She knows that I will watch your videos over and over again, reliving some of the gardening that I used to do. Even at my age, you still teach me things and I truly enjoy gleaning your knowledge. I can't believe that some people feel that they are entitled to know your finances. Maybe they would back off if they knew that the value of the items you receive from these vendors are considered as taxable income. I hope your net income is in the millions, just like the number of your viewers. I also hope that you will continue your videos for years to come. I would love to see your numbers reach two million. Take whatever time you need with baby girl. You don't need our permission to live your life. All one million of us will wait with baited breath for your return. Hoping for an easy birth....take care.

    Ostentatious?! How can attaining your ultimate dream be ostentation? Why can’t people just be happy for you. I’m thrilled for you. I cannot have the things you have simply because of size constraints. Good for you making your house a home. You guys are investing in yourself, your family, and your business. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing. You still have to live there and be happy. Love your videos.

    I don’t think it’s fair that people seem to demand this channel disclose every single bit of information about a plant or subject (like the toxicity issue or light requirements). Your channel is a wealth of information and does inspire so so many. But people should take the information as a sort of introduction to things and then take it upon themselves to research more before they decide if it’s right for them or their gardens. It seems plain lazy to me how much people want everyone else to do every bit of thinking and work for them, and for free!

      I completely agree. Garden Answer is an inspiration to me. When I'm inspired to plant something, I do the research to find out the finer details of the plant and then make my decision. It always impresses me that both Laura and Aaron give so many of these commenters the benefit of the doubt. Tone is difficult to determine sometimes when you're reading. Ostentatious for example is fairly obvious judgement, yet they still addressed it with humor. Same with requests to be more thorough, they acknowledge that they understand the question, but still do what they feel comfortable with. There are only so many hours in a day! Fine examples of good humans here.... letting so much roll off their back and staying neutral.

    Perfect example of how some individuals feel they have the right to make negative comments about another individual’s achievements. You both work so hard and provide not only joy but a wealth of information to so many. I admire and hope you continue to have the tough skin when negative people make unnecessary comments. I love your channel and look forward to each and every video. Really wish negative individuals would start their own channel and leave the rest of us alone. Looking forward to another year of Garden Answer and especially Baby Girl and Big Brother Benjamin.

I thought my son did it and said "Gavin you have to be quiet for people next door"....he stands straight up points at the little plastic crib with a fully extended straight arm and says "It wasnt me, it was Ava" 🤣🤣 that innocent bond jumped ship quick!

    I started watching your channel fall of 2019. Fast forward into 2020 as a critical care frontliner. Your videos became my life line. I found myself waiting for Grace's birth. Praying for a safe delivery and healthy baby. Anticipating the Hartley. Just a needed escape from the stress of covid at work. Bringing me back in touch with life. I ever purchased irrigation tubing a couple Dahlias even bought a hellebore. My future son in law was excited to get out in the yard and help me. So spring of 2020, I emerged more hopeful and light hearted. I really owe that to you and your videos. So I appreciate all your hard work. I think you both give more than plant information to people. Like hope and promise with every seed planted by planting new thoughts! They gave new joy to my daily living and always lending to forward thinking with promise to beauty to come. Was a welcome mind set during the start of the pandemic. I look back now and I just brushed past it through your videos and my anticipating the next one.
    Thank you again for all you do and sharing your life with us.❤️

    My fav is when Aaron engages in the discussion with you. The kids can get student loans like everyone else. Besides the way your business is growing there will be money when it is needed. You deserve this. I've heard the thorn less one has thorns when young but matures to thorn less. I have a few Viburnums but I had a worm that ate all the leaves off them last year. Luckily I found info and treated them and the leaves grew back. Then I found a treatment that is supposed to last for a year, so I treated them in the fall. I hope the problem will not return this spring.

(oops, back on the soapbox)... hope you don' t have to wait too much longer for Baby Girl... just a few more days and she will be in your arms... blessings to you and your family and prayers for a safe delivery and healthy baby!! cannot wait!! :)
