I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love your project management style! You've taken me from a "a project's not worth doing if you can't finish it" mindset to an "a little bit at a time" mindset. As a result, this season I've accomplished more in my garden and home than the past two years combined! I also love that you're about 3-4 weeks ahead of my zone - with every video I know what's coming next. Thanks for all of your content Laura!
Yes her being up north of me and basically having a heads up for what I should be doing this week or next week. It's perfect timing. Long enough ahead that I can plan but not so long that I forget what to get done. :)
Thanks for doing this cleanup video. I know you worry about going over stuff you have already shown, but we appreciate them. Since watching you my garden has grown and expanded. Our gardens are always changing, so watching you cleanup lilies is great as I have them now but didn’t before. Please keep doing these maintenance and planting videos as our gardens are always evolving and I for one need the help! Thanks again for helping us grow and maintain our gardens!
Good morning My Garden Friends, I'm in Windermere, Florida zone 9b and I'm weeding so I get rid of any garden problems. We don't have freezes that last long enough to kill off problems. Happy Clean-up Laura 🌿💚🌿
I have a question for you,I live in Florida, zone 10 and I was thinking about cutting my lilies back this week,am told you have a RUclips channel, what do you think of cutting the lilies back and can I get the link to your channel ??
@@carlgomm9699 Hi Carl, I'm not sure what Lilies you have. I have Peace Lilies and I keep those going outside, year round. Day Lilies I've never grown, but I had friends in South Florida who cut them back and then lift and divide every few years. Give me more details and I'll be glad to help. Peggy Helbling's Garden What You've Got is my RUclips channel. I'd be pleased if you would like to stop by. 🌿💚🌿
@@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920 Most of what I have for lilies are ones I've found growing wild,these look a lot like amaryllis,they are very prolific and come back every year, also they seem to like the sand that we have where we live, I've put some in good soil and all I get is lots of foliage, they're a very beautiful red color and are 2-3 ft tall at maturity
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
Thank you for such great advice of which perennials to cut back now versus the spring! I usually am googling each plant individually every fall because I forget! :) Also - anyone else LOVE a long video! I was like "28 minutes!!! YES!!!!!" haha!
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
Hey Laura, I have a good amount of sedum around my garden. I learned just this year to cut them back when they first start to emerge and they double or triple the number of stems which naturally keeps them from flopping over. My plants looked sad when I first cut them back but oh my, the number of blooms I had this year is amazing AND they did not do that split thing or flop over!.
I did the same thing for the first time this year and love how my Sedums look right now. No flopping at all and wonderful blooms. I was worried like you when I first cut it but it was worth it.
It’s a big help for me that you “take us along” on your projects. You motivate me to at least pull a few plants that need to go. Thank you very much!😊🌺💗☀️
Ok, Does anyone else want to know what Laura’s step count is at the end of day? 😂 Absolutely love all that you do, I’ve learned so much from You! Thank You ❤️
Seeing Laura tackle all these tasks fills me with motivation! I can't wait to get back home from work and finally prepare my balcony for autumn/winter! 😍
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
I love fall clean up videos. I always feel sad when it’s time to cut things back and pull things out, but it gets me motivated when I see how clean and tidy it makes the garden look.
🐝!!! Did we just loose Laura? 😂 Thank you for all your wonderful videos. And YESSSS!! To “just” walking around and showing us the whole garden. I vote for a fall garden tour. Who’s with me???
“They are liking their situation” is an understatement 😮 what a beautiful rose. I put six new climbers in this season I hope they look that good after a year.
Ok, I am also going outside today to start my fall clean up. My favorite statement Laura said in this video I am taking to heart is..." Sometimes there is just no reason". 😂 Love that! Thank you.
Over the years you have really opened my eyes to appreciate foliage and texture. Example here being the fall color of hosta and seed heads of black eyed Susan. I would have never learned to appreciate these without you guiding the way. I thank you deeply for teaching all of us to appreciate the little things in life and the garden😊
Hi Laura this was one of my favorite Videos so fun walking around along with you through all different area's of your gardens! I have been watching for about 4years really Enjoy appreciate everything you & your family do on your channel and for other's truly a blessing. I'm sure you guys are aware of many people you helped get through the last 4+5year's of Craziness. Well I'm one of those people-73 year old great-grandmother/ Garden/plant Lover from Northern California. Thank you for Sharing 😊🙏
It's so wonderful to see the original gardens this morning! After a season filled with the Hartley and the South garden, I've missed these spaces and the usual garden tours.
I loved watching the birds forage my sunflowers this year. It’s must be so nice to see how much your plants are able to provide for wildlife, especially during the winter.
A quick note about you planting around the air conditioning condensors in the back you said you didn't get to. I'm planting hakonechloa around it because I was all set to plant gorgeous autumn ferns in a circle but they get to tall and wide as you have to leave PLENTY OF SPACE for ventilation around them for the condensor to work properly. This would make a great project topic! So many people try to solve this little unsightly area in their garden where circuit breaker boxes, electric meters and these condensers reside. I painted the condensers and stenciled soft green ferns on them, put black ceramic mosiac on the cement platform and now the area doesn't detract from my garden! Love to all! 🙏🤗
I've never had much luck with gardening, but as I've watched your channel for the last year or two I've learned so much. I'm slowly tackling the mature (but somewhat neglected) landscape of the house we moved into two years ago. Just trying to identify plants and shrubs has been a challenge! For the first time I have successfully kept a purple gomprena alive and well for months in a planter by my front door that makes me happy every time I see it. Thank you!
Good morning, Laura ☕️ So satisfying to see the Fall cleanup! Thanks for the reminder to keep certain plants for Winter interest and, of course, the birds. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I paused the vid 15 minutes in to go clean up my own garden! I set a timer for 30 minutes...I was done in 25 😆. I find setting a timer really puts into perspective how little time certain tasks take. Thanks for the motivation! 💪🏼
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
I mostly leave everything accept for things that have flopped or want to seed and spread themselves around too happily. Then the one annual I leave overwinter is marigolds, the dried stems and seed heads with snow look so beautiful
The leaves are beginning to change here in Northeastern Illinois, we had a nice long Spring and now we are having a long Autumn, I love when that happens 🌞
What a great visit! I loved seeing all these established beds and how they’re fairing. And I am appreciating the slow and steady approach towards tucking into winter. I’m in Zone 3b so most of everything here has been tucked away for the last month, though we’re experiencing an absolutely wonderful extended autumn. Thank you for the coffee time.
I too LOVE using my electric hedge trimmer for tackling clean up. Has become my BFF. And also using the weed Wacker as an edger, as you demonstrated in another video. Getting older means thinking outside the box to get smarter and work easier. It's all about enjoying and getting it done. TY for ALL your time and talent.
I was trying to takes notes on all the plants you talked about that was still looking good after a freeze and there were so many I had to keep rewinding and listening again! haha. I love these type videos where you go over plants and their attributes!
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
So cool to see the sunflower heads out there for the birds! Just visited a local farm that grew a field of giant classic orange Marigolds (4 ft tall!). I bought a bundle, and thought "WHAT a great fall filler flower this would be for Laura!" (I think you only had medium size this year?). They compliment sunflowers so well, and are so cheerful! Perhaps you can add some to your seed list for next year in your cut flower garden? Love all you do!
Laura I want to thank you for the inspiration this gardening season ! I’ve planted so many new varieties of flowers and shrubs that added such joy to my beds. My most favorite was my coral berry shrub which I’ve shown off to everyone!! Thank you again my garden inspiration queen!! 🍁🍁

How fun is it to see updates on plants you’ve planted in previous years? The wine craft black smoke bush and tiny wine ninebarks are my favorites and I so enjoy seeing them (even momentarily) for an update!! Gives me some care hints for my own property. Our supertunia Priscillas are also thriving! Like yours still blooming late in October. Our butterfly bush is still sporting monarchs too! Nice to still have color late into October (East End Long Island, NY/7A).
I would just love to be your neighbor Laura. You are just the brightest, sunniest person! Oh and you also are a walking encyclopedia about everything that grows!
A 30 minute visit! Awesome! I watched as many commercials as I could and at least a minute of the Looooong ones so you get paid. I love the longer vlogs!!! I love hanging out with you and seeing what's happening in your gardens and how you tackle projects! Thanks for taking us along! I've never thought about planting Snapdragons this late. I know the ones I have stay nice but that red and white with the softer color in the cabbage was "perfection"! Happy fall, Y'all!
Love cleaning up in the fall. I just finished mine yesterday. We were 21 Celsius and today 8 feels like 2 and tons of wind. No more geese flying away so I’m sure snow is on it’s way. Thank you so very much for sharing. Have an amazing day everyone.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I’m so glad you’re planting some kale in this video! I just decorated my porch for fall and of course had to have some ornamental kale but when I got them from the nursery they were so root bound and was not sure if I was able to cut down the root ball and just use what I needed. I found that little Laura voice in my head “we’re just gonna rough up the root ball a bit” and ended up cutting it in half🤣thank you for all the inspiration you have brought to my garden. My neighbors have been loving it😊

When things slow down over the winter, I’d love to see a tool organization video with links as to what kinds of hooks to purchase and so forth. Really awesome seeing how organized and clean your storage looks!
As a "novice" gardener, I learn so much from everything you do, including how to clean out my flower beds for winter. (Zone 9 in Texas really has an extended "summer" instead of the relief of a fall season!)
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
I just love clean up videos so much! It's such a relatable part of gardening for all of us. I just pulled out coleus and supertuinas as well, and down came my hanging baskets, then I added some fall pumpkins and a scarecrow! Vuala, ready for Halloween 🎃 I especially appreciated the demonstration of how to pull out ornamental cabbage. Have a lovely day everyone!

Absolutely love these project type videos! I could tag along with your gardening chores all day, Laura :D Listening to you talk about plants and walk around the garden with your vlog camera is pure bliss haha. Thank you for the wonderful video :)
I was watching a video from four years ago the other day, and you walked past the side of the house where you now have the line of the Little Lime Punch - it looks so different! You’ve definitely taught me the virtue of being a patient gardener as you allow the garden to evolve gently and with an eye to seeing what would work best for the space. I’m in the Southern Hemisphere so I’ll make a point of watching your Autumn episodes again in six months! Love your work, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️
Good morning 🌻 last fall I ran the lawnmower over my daylillies, bagged and threw out the leaves. I wondered if I'd killed them afterwards. However, they came back beautifully this spring. Win!
Just so happy Samantha Grace did not get that dreaded RSV, which my granddaughter have contracted but she’s doing well now, Praise be to God. Just love all that you do. You are Blessed.
Laura, you are a breadth of fresh air. I am an avid cook and gardener and love your beautifully put together videos You havn after trying to clear a driveway e so much energy it comes right through on the video and I wish I cld grab that energy and take a huge dose of it. I just came in doord from my own garden after clearing moss on my driveway and then i see your video. It is too late. at 69 even though I have had pultiple strokes I have with the help of my lovely hubby got our garden back to what it was. Thanks for all your videos. It is very encouraging to see a young lass like you do so much. Take care of your health and dont have a burn out. I hope you rest during the winter to garner as much strength as you need for the spring/summer. Can you please do a video for seniors on what garden tools are really good. After all these years I came upon the garden Bandit, about C$18 . I have so many garden tools but IT IS THE VERY BEST WEED REMOVER AS IT REMOVES WEEDS ROOT ET ALL. I kwwp a spare one as I tend to misplace things . what are your thoughts on Rubber mulch. I have been using them around my beds and it was a nice bounce to it. Have a lovely day Laura.
I don’t think I would get anything done in your gardens, I’d be too busy daydreaming among the beautiful spaces! I love when you walk through and give us a look of the different areas! Magical! 😍
I am in love with the pink, white and green ornamental cabbage😍😍😍 my favorite colors are pink and green and these are just soooooo lovely! I wish I had better luck growing them from seed since they usually sell for $10.00 apiece here.
I'm more impressed that you do all this work in the garden with your freshly washed hair just flowing 😆 it's the first thing i slap back in to a very messy ponytail.
One of the many reasons I watch this channel is seeing the tools used. I’ve watched Laura do fall cleanup a number of times and the use of hedge trimmers. I bought my first felcos last year, which were a great investment. So today, I went out and bought the dewalt hedge trimmer . Another “game changer “!! Buzzed through hostas this afternoon - blew them into the grass with my dewalt blower and picked up with my John Deere riding lawnmower with the leaves! Much easier process. Thanks garden answer!
Great video! Just saw an oldie that I had never watched and it was when you introduced 'Russell'.... so cute!!!!! And, look at him now. Happy and well-loved. love, hugs,prayers.
Oh Laura, it amazes me how you know all the names of the oh-so-many plants on your place! I'm learning so much from your channel. I even have my daughter and family hooked 😊💞 (My daughter's name happens to be Laura too :)
Oh geez I'm still drinking coffee in my PJs under blanket and all your jobs are done! We had our first really cool night last night! Planning to mow and then who knows what will escalate from there....can you beam some of your energy this way? 👋👍😁See you in the next one!
My husband and I are following your lead. We’re cleaning up one bed at a time. Then planting bulbs in that bed and then mulching that bed. Then a few days later we move onto the next bed. So much more relaxing no stress love it!
I can see you enjoy sharing your garden with us. Just love how you get sidetracked with a beautiful plant and you share with us. Thanks for the view of the Hartley and one of the kitties at the end of the video. Those two things along with your helper Benjamin are starting to be classic Garden Answer. Thanks for making my morning coffee so enjoyable. Can't believe the progress you have made in the South garden.
Hi. I have been maintaining my landscape for well over 10 years now. I use to cut back almost everything in the Fall! I thought it was the proper protocol. I learned "winter interest" from you. My landscape does not need to look empty and boring to equal well maintained. What a relief! I also learned the cardboard method for weed control. It was very time consuming. However, it was worth the time it saved me. OhMy! What a huge time saver! It works through the entire growing season here in Michigan! Thx for all that you share.😇🙏
Oh my heck, cleaned my lilies this morning and the bottom leaves were covered with aphids. Since it is dark here, just added diatomaceous earth to my list for tomorrow. THANK YOU so much for the timely tip ♥ And my zinnias got powdery mildew this year but the gazanias planted next to them look awesome. First time for gazanias (Zone 7b) and they are still flowering through frost and snow so saving seeds and will add new ones next spring. Thank you two again for helping this newly retired, 75 year old great grandma with her yard and garden. The zones have really helped me keep up. Hugs and kisses and rainbow wishes to your family ♥
I was excited to see that this video was about fall clean up of flower beds, as I planted new perennials (and annuals) this year because of you! Now I need to know what to do with them! Lol! Hopefully you’ll address lavender, huecheras and other perennials soon. Thanks so much for another wonderful helpful video!
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
Sidetracked to planters 😂. In the middle of the clean out, let’s just pause to beautify a planter or 3 or 4. It is amazing to me how much you get done and how easy you make it look. 💚💚👏
Well applause, bravo, wonderfully done! All that you got done, yes. I went on your energy and cleaned up my nine beds circle garden!!! I owe you thanks for that. My character type lacks in self motivation. But I am easily motivated by others encouragement. You, Laura are very encouraging.
My roses have never looked so beautiful this late in the year. I've decided to leave them to check out the hip action as I've never done that before. So far it has tons of blooms so far. Should freeze this week so we'll see....
I LOVED this video!!! I loved seeing the gardens around the house and I so enjoy watching you work. #Motivation!! Thank you Laura, for sharing with us. 🙏🏼😊♥️
I just started my Fall clean up plus I planted bulbs yesterday! I love when you pan over to show the Hartley!! I also leave things for the wildlife but I will be covering a few things on account of rabbits! Last winter they used my plants as a salad bar because we had a rather harsh winter so I am taking precautions for this winter!! Those containers are pretty planted up for Fall & Winter! I love how your gardens, yard & walkways have transformed this year!!😍😖🐇🧹🥀🍁🍂
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
Loving the ride along with you Laura for the fall clean up, which puts me in that motivation mood to get busy also. Everything is still looking amazing. See ya on the next ride.....Just Toot-Toot!
This is amazing. I live in Newfoundland Canada. The most easterly point in the world. We have 57 degrees .today .We had no frost yet. We love all the fall colors. We are in zone 4,5 .
Every time I see your discard pile, I think COMPOST 😍. I walk right beside my two on a daily basis and can't smell a thing. I promise, it's not stinky.
Yep, it's definitely a compost pile. And they even have the equipment to turn something that big a few times. They would have so much. I can't even wrap my mind around letting all that stuff go to a dump or something. Maybe they have a commercial composting operation that comes to get it.
Good morning fro Northport, NY! Laura, having had many tours in my garden where I grow over 650 varieties of daylilies and hundreds of Lilium, I try to always use the word “daylily” versus “lily “ since I find many people are confused about these two genera. I think that a comparison of these two plants would be a good topic for a future video.
I'm with you guys on the difference between Daylilies and Lilies. It's a little thing but they're 2 very different plants that aren't even in the same family.
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
Love watching your channel. With all the chaos in the world, I can turn you on and all of that just fades away. Thank you for the escape, the inspiration and education. Will be putting diatomaceous earth out today. Thanks for reminding us to do this when we see those soft bodied pests.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love your project management style! You've taken me from a "a project's not worth doing if you can't finish it" mindset to an "a little bit at a time" mindset.

Oooh, that's interesting! How tall do you let the stems get before you cut them back? And do you cut them straight to the ground?
@@julewenzel347 cut back in June or July about half way.
Thanks for that gardening tip! I will do mine like that next year.
It’s a big help for me that you “take us along” on your projects. You motivate me to at least pull a few plants that need to go. Thank you very much!😊🌺💗☀️

I’m in Zone 3b so most of everything here has been tucked away for the last month, though we’re experiencing an absolutely wonderful extended autumn. Thank you for the coffee time.
I too LOVE using my electric hedge trimmer for tackling clean up. Has become my BFF. And also using the weed Wacker as an edger, as you demonstrated in another video. Getting older means thinking outside the box to get smarter and work easier. It's all about enjoying and getting it done. TY for ALL your time and talent.
I do miss when you take us through the gardens and talk about your plants. I learn so much when you do your tours. And it’s just enjoyable.
I was trying to takes notes on all the plants you talked about that was still looking good after a freeze and there were so many I had to keep rewinding and listening again! haha. I love these type videos where you go over plants and their attributes!
Hello friends, we are holding a test event for led solar lawn light products. I want to know if you are interested? Maybe it can help you while you work.
Slow and steady wins the race! A good reminder about most chores in life!
So cool to see the sunflower heads out there for the birds! Just visited a local farm that grew a field of giant classic orange Marigolds (4 ft tall!). I bought a bundle, and thought "WHAT a great fall filler flower this would be for Laura!" (I think you only had medium size this year?). They compliment sunflowers so well, and are so cheerful! Perhaps you can add some to your seed list for next year in your cut flower garden? Love all you do!
Laura I want to thank you for the inspiration this gardening season ! I’ve planted so many new varieties of flowers and shrubs that added such joy to my beds. My most favorite was my coral berry shrub which I’ve shown off to everyone!! Thank you again my garden inspiration queen!! 🍁🍁

How fun is it to see updates on plants you’ve planted in previous years? The wine craft black smoke bush and tiny wine ninebarks are my favorites and I so enjoy seeing them (even momentarily) for an update!! Gives me some care hints for my own property. Our supertunia Priscillas are also thriving! Like yours still blooming late in October. Our butterfly bush is still sporting monarchs too! Nice to still have color late into October (East End Long Island, NY/7A).
In zone 8a, we can't buy the Ninebarks, sadly.
@@susann4944 That is a bummer! Would it not thrive even in a shady spot? Or does it need colder temps than you dip to?
I would just love to be your neighbor Laura. You are just the brightest, sunniest person! Oh and you also are a walking encyclopedia about everything that grows!
A 30 minute visit! Awesome! I watched as many commercials as I could and at least a minute of the Looooong ones so you get paid. I love the longer vlogs!!!
I love hanging out with you and seeing what's happening in your gardens and how you tackle projects! Thanks for taking us along!
I've never thought about planting Snapdragons this late. I know the ones I have stay nice but that red and white with the softer color in the cabbage was "perfection"!
Happy fall, Y'all!
Love cleaning up in the fall. I just finished mine yesterday. We were 21 Celsius and today 8 feels like 2 and tons of wind. No more geese flying away so I’m sure snow is on it’s way. Thank you so very much for sharing. Have an amazing day everyone.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I’m so glad you’re planting some kale in this video! I just decorated my porch for fall and of course had to have some ornamental kale but when I got them from the nursery they were so root bound and was not sure if I was able to cut down the root ball and just use what I needed. I found that little Laura voice in my head “we’re just gonna rough up the root ball a bit” and ended up cutting it in half🤣thank you for all the inspiration you have brought to my garden. My neighbors have been loving it😊

When things slow down over the winter, I’d love to see a tool organization video with links as to what kinds of hooks to purchase and so forth. Really awesome seeing how organized and clean your storage looks!
As a "novice" gardener, I learn so much from everything you do, including how to clean out my flower beds for winter. (Zone 9 in Texas really has an extended "summer" instead of the relief of a fall season!)

I just love clean up videos so much! It's such a relatable part of gardening for all of us. I just pulled out coleus and supertuinas as well, and down came my hanging baskets, then I added some fall pumpkins and a scarecrow! Vuala, ready for Halloween 🎃 I especially appreciated the demonstration of how to pull out ornamental cabbage. Have a lovely day everyone!

Love that you are showing what you cut back. What, when , and how much is always my dilemma. Tags usually don’t advise.
Absolutely love these project type videos! I could tag along with your gardening chores all day, Laura :D Listening to you talk about plants and walk around the garden with your vlog camera is pure bliss haha. Thank you for the wonderful video :)
I was watching a video from four years ago the other day, and you walked past the side of the house where you now have the line of the Little Lime Punch - it looks so different! You’ve definitely taught me the virtue of being a patient gardener as you allow the garden to evolve gently and with an eye to seeing what would work best for the space. I’m in the Southern Hemisphere so I’ll make a point of watching your Autumn episodes again in six months! Love your work, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️
Good morning 🌻 last fall I ran the lawnmower over my daylillies, bagged and threw out the leaves. I wondered if I'd killed them afterwards. However, they came back beautifully this spring. Win!
I've been wondering about using diatomaceous earth for insects. Thanks Laura! For sharing all your knowledge.
Just so happy Samantha Grace did not get that dreaded RSV, which my granddaughter have contracted but she’s doing well now, Praise be to God. Just love all that you do. You are Blessed.
Laura, you are a breadth of fresh air. I am an avid cook and gardener and love your beautifully put together videos You havn after trying to clear a driveway e so much energy it comes right through on the video and I wish I cld grab that energy and take a huge dose of it. I just came in doord from my own garden after clearing moss on my driveway and then i see your video. It is too late. at 69 even though I have had pultiple strokes I have with the help of my lovely hubby got our garden back to what it was. Thanks for all your videos. It is very encouraging to see a young lass like you do so much. Take care of your health and dont have a burn out. I hope you rest during the winter to garner as much strength as you need for the spring/summer. Can you please do a video for seniors on what garden tools are really good. After all these years I came upon the garden Bandit, about C$18 . I have so many garden tools but IT IS THE VERY BEST WEED REMOVER AS IT REMOVES WEEDS ROOT ET ALL. I kwwp a spare one as I tend to misplace things . what are your thoughts on Rubber mulch. I have been using them around my beds and it was a nice bounce to it. Have a lovely day Laura.
I don’t think I would get anything done in your gardens, I’d be too busy daydreaming among the beautiful spaces! I love when you walk through and give us a look of the different areas! Magical! 😍
Wow, Laura, you were so energized going through this cleanup! Just glowing with success and victory over the elements. Beautiful!!
love how benjamin loves helping you out in the garden. such a sweet boy. your truly blessed
Just love starting my day watching you in the morning with my coffee and dream of my new gardens yet to come can't wait.Thanks for being here
There is something satisfying about cleanup videos lol…
I am in love with the pink, white and green ornamental cabbage😍😍😍 my favorite colors are pink and green and these are just soooooo lovely! I wish I had better luck growing them from seed since they usually sell for $10.00 apiece here.
I'm more impressed that you do all this work in the garden with your freshly washed hair just flowing 😆 it's the first thing i slap back in to a very messy ponytail.
One of the many reasons I watch this channel is seeing the tools used. I’ve watched Laura do fall cleanup a number of times and the use of hedge trimmers. I bought my first felcos last year, which were a great investment. So today, I went out and bought the dewalt hedge trimmer . Another “game changer “!! Buzzed through hostas this afternoon - blew them into the grass with my dewalt blower and picked up with my John Deere riding lawnmower with the leaves! Much easier process. Thanks garden answer!
Great video! Just saw an oldie that I had never watched and it was when you introduced 'Russell'.... so cute!!!!! And, look at him now. Happy and well-loved. love, hugs,prayers.
Oh Laura, it amazes me how you know all the names of the oh-so-many plants on your place! I'm learning so much from your channel. I even have my daughter and family hooked 😊💞 (My daughter's name happens to be Laura too :)
Oh geez I'm still drinking coffee in my PJs under blanket and all your jobs are done! We had our first really cool night last night! Planning to mow and then who knows what will escalate from there....can you beam some of your energy this way? 👋👍😁See you in the next one!
I love how your cats follow you around.
My husband and I are following your lead. We’re cleaning up one bed at a time. Then planting bulbs in that bed and then mulching that bed. Then a few days later we move onto the next bed. So much more relaxing no stress love it!
I’m a layer person as well. You’re garden and channel are an inspiration to so many of us.
So helpful. I learn so much when you do maintenace in the flower gardens and I get a garden tour at the same time. Thanks.
I can see you enjoy sharing your garden with us. Just love how you get sidetracked with a beautiful plant and you share with us. Thanks for the view of the Hartley and one of the kitties at the end of the video. Those two things along with your helper Benjamin are starting to be classic Garden Answer. Thanks for making my morning coffee so enjoyable. Can't believe the progress you have made in the South garden.
Love to see the kitties popping in and out of the videos!
Hi. I have been maintaining my landscape for well over 10 years now. I use to cut back almost everything in the Fall! I thought it was the proper protocol. I learned "winter interest" from you. My landscape does not need to look empty and boring to equal well maintained. What a relief!
I also learned the cardboard method for weed control. It was very time consuming. However, it was worth the time it saved me.
OhMy! What a huge time saver! It works through the entire growing season here in Michigan! Thx for all that
you share.😇🙏
Oh my heck, cleaned my lilies this morning and the bottom leaves were covered with aphids. Since it is dark here, just added diatomaceous earth to my list for tomorrow. THANK YOU so much for the timely tip ♥ And my zinnias got powdery mildew this year but the gazanias planted next to them look awesome. First time for gazanias (Zone 7b) and they are still flowering through frost and snow so saving seeds and will add new ones next spring. Thank you two again for helping this newly retired, 75 year old great grandma with her yard and garden. The zones have really helped me keep up. Hugs and kisses and rainbow wishes to your family ♥
Comment two...I got a cordless blower this spring. Oh my goodness, game changer! It's now one of my most used tools! Thank you
Definitely a life saver for a gardener!
An absolute joy to see the established flower beds around the house!
Thank you 🙏 for this visit in your garden ! I feel as if I was really with you . You have a special way of making it so sweet and personal 🍃❤️🍃
Yes, it's fall cleanup time. Let's go do this!
The trees around the house & property are so beautiful. Love the colors - makes such a beautiful picture.
It's funny how wonderful it feels in the spring to fill the beds, and then what a relief it is in the fall to see them all cleaned out :)
I was excited to see that this video was about fall clean up of flower beds, as I planted new perennials (and annuals) this year because of you! Now I need to know what to do with them! Lol! Hopefully you’ll address lavender, huecheras and other perennials soon. Thanks so much for another wonderful helpful video!

Sidetracked to planters 😂. In the middle of the clean out, let’s just pause to beautify a planter or 3 or 4. It is amazing to me how much you get done and how easy you make it look. 💚💚👏
Laura
You are so happy and full of energy this morning!
Well applause, bravo, wonderfully done! All that you got done, yes. I went on your energy and cleaned up my nine beds circle garden!!! I owe you thanks for that. My character type lacks in self motivation. But I am easily motivated by others encouragement. You, Laura are very encouraging.
My roses have never looked so beautiful this late in the year. I've decided to leave them to check out the hip action as I've never done that before. So far it has tons of blooms so far. Should freeze this week so we'll see....
OH MY... if we could all only work that fast!!! Go, Laura GO!! Thanks for the beauty & inspiration - even in fall clean-up!
That was fun, informative and motivating! Thank you Laura! Love seeing what you have planted in the beds too.
I love to look around and see the parts of the garden that are all cleaned up and neat. Get things all ready for the winter.
YOU’RE WEARING GLOVES !!! Hi Laura. Love watching you take care of your beautiful grounds. And that Sweet Son of yours. ❤️
I LOVED this video!!! I loved seeing the gardens around the house and I so enjoy watching you work. #Motivation!! Thank you Laura, for sharing with us. 🙏🏼😊♥️
I love the way you pack in your pots! Beautiful!
I just started my Fall clean up plus I planted bulbs yesterday! I love when you pan over to show the Hartley!! I also leave things for the wildlife but I will be covering a few things on account of rabbits! Last winter they used my plants as a salad bar because we had a rather harsh winter so I am taking precautions for this winter!! Those containers are pretty planted up for Fall & Winter! I love how your gardens, yard & walkways have transformed this year!!😍😖🐇🧹🥀🍁🍂

Loving the ride along with you Laura for the fall clean up, which puts me in that motivation mood to get busy also. Everything is still looking amazing. See ya on the next ride.....Just Toot-Toot!
This is amazing. I live in Newfoundland Canada. The most easterly point in the world. We have 57 degrees .today .We had no frost yet. We love all the fall colors. We are in zone 4,5 .
Every time I see your discard pile, I think COMPOST 😍. I walk right beside my two on a daily basis and can't smell a thing. I promise, it's not stinky.
Yep, it's definitely a compost pile. And they even have the equipment to turn something that big a few times. They would have so much. I can't even wrap my mind around letting all that stuff go to a dump or something. Maybe they have a commercial composting operation that comes to get it.
They usually burn it, I think. That’s what a lot of people do in this area.
She said they are having it taken away a few videos ago. They have talked about a compost pile but are scared it will smell bad.
Good morning fro Northport, NY!
Laura, having had many tours in my garden where I grow over 650 varieties of daylilies and hundreds of Lilium, I try to always use the word “daylily” versus “lily “ since I find many people are confused about these two genera. I think that a comparison of these two plants would be a good topic for a future video.
Right. I never call the daylilys what they are not. Lily’s are from hardy bulbs.
I'm with you guys on the difference between Daylilies and Lilies. It's a little thing but they're 2 very different plants that aren't even in the same family.

Love watching your channel. With all the chaos in the world, I can turn you on and all of that just fades away. Thank you for the escape, the inspiration and education. Will be putting diatomaceous earth out today. Thanks for reminding us to do this when we see those soft bodied pests.
Love these mixed projects videos...the Galway urn looks romantic...
