Laura why are you always doubting if people are gonna watch your longer videos until the end? You are an amazing speaker and besides the editing in your videos is so put together and perfect! I live watching both your short and long videos. It is entertaining and super informative at the same time. Loved this one. Thank you so much for the tips

First time viewer - I love how you “chaptered” the segment, but didn’t need it as you had me engaged the whole time. Awesome job.

I live in an apartment and this video is PACKED with valuable information I was missing, no wonder why my plants weren’t doing well - thank you for this video

[DIXIESONSHINE]

I watched the entire video because you get to the point, don't ramble on about unrelated things and have a lot of information in a short time😁Thanks!

[charocflores]

Walmart sells a pink grow light that you can screw into your regular light bulb socket. I making a grow closet and have that bulb in the closet. $6.57. It is an actual pink no heat grow light.

Bought a lavender plant shaped like a Christmas tree for the holiday season to take to my daughters.
...forgot it, gone 10 days, left in middle of table no light on or window light within 3 ft., heat set at 60. Expected to come home and it would be dead or at least unsalvageable. Nope! Sporting new and abundant growth. Some plants....just want to live.... I'm 66 and still learning. Love your informational and charming videos. Going back and watching earlier ones. Great way to spend gloomy winter days! Thank you!

oddly enough, i usually cut open a teabag and empty its contents on the plant and they seem to take off with it. I do it once every couple of months. I keep my used teabags on the side to dry out completely before i add them to the soil of the plant then water it in. I've done it with herbs, orchids, spider plants and succulents to great success. I find black tea bags work best where as green tea bags don't seem to work as well.

lavender needs more light than god can give it

I just love listening to your gardening advice!

I am growing herbs hydroponically. Dill grows like crazy! :) I have two young plants and the first bountiful harvest after just 3 weeks. One plant shoots 1-2 stalks a week, and that's enough to season a meat soup for six persons.

[paulastafford]

I made it to the end. Your videos are so informative, helpful, and thorough. They're very relatable. Your energy and tone make it easy to listen to you. Thanks for all you do.

[pamelamclaughlin]

Glad she mentioned the difference between potting soil and the soil in the yard. Now I will be sure to remember and understand why to get potting soil for indoor herbs, flowers. Oh and great tip regarding the air circulation and the terracotta pots.

[terryhickman]

Don't worry about the length of your videos! Cover what you need to cover and they're perfect. I'm so glad I found your channel! Forty years ago I had a 1/4 acre garden on a farm in NW Iowa and I thought I was Lady Greenfingers -- in recent years I've been struggling with my yard - haven't even had enough success to try a garden - and now I think it was because of the soil in that location - you could stick a pencil in the ground and it would grow. But now I'm also in Zone 5 so I'm hoping I can learn from all of your good advice. Thanks for these great videos!

[briannamccullough]

Can you do a video with all of the different bugs and how to get rid of them. I found that idea so interesting : P

[AlexandraJC]

I’m brand new to growing herbs and this was very helpful. I was looking for short videos that provided a lot of quick information to help me make decisions and this was it. Thank you!

[joannaalday]

Omgosh! This was helpful! It tackled 3 of the things i was concerned about for growing my own indoor herb garden (type of soil to use, fertilizer, and temp.) Feeling more confident now. Thank you!!

[katediy]

Laura, you make it sound like a hardship to watch your entire video. We LOVE hearing your tips, silly.
