Clearing away last years growth and finding the buds emerging from the earth below is one of the most exciting things about spring! (I know everyone here will totally understand that! ;). ). Thanks for all the inspiration and get-er-done attitude! It is contagious!
I shift from watching the news to GA and enjoy watching normalcy and the pursuit of beauty and your beautiful life. Thank you. From C-19 to geo political crisis, seeing a steady stream of sweet family activity, garden creation and inspirational content. What a precious blessing This work that you do is for us. Again thank you! Virtual hugs!
With coffee in hand I bid you all good morning. I cleaned up a flower bed I started last fall and I see my Autumn Joy sedum is coming up and the iris I planted last fall. The iris came form my grammas garden, my aunt dug them up in the 80s and has split them and gave to my cousin and my cousins sent me some a few years ago. I was so glad they are growing since I had to move last fall and honestly i just stuck them in the ground in hopes to keep them alive. It worked. ☺
Hello Laura, you have already created so many videos with tasks that have to be done. Do you think it would be possible for you to create a "monthly playlist"? At least for spring and autumn. Then you could look up what and how to do everything in February or March. Thank you for your videos. Greetings from southern Germany.
You can also make your own playlist on RUclips if it's not a big chore for you. Just find the spring videos you need and add them to a playlist with the name you need! Schöne Grüße aus NRW!
Gosh, this is so helpful. I love how you do everything yourself & show it. It makes it feel more realistic about all of the things I can accomplish on my own. We have a huge property and I find myself always in it with so much more confidence because of your videos. Thank you for all you share and do.
Ahhh. The same exact three things I need to address in the garden. Also a zone 5/6 (newly 6 but still plant for a 5 because I have trust issues 😂) so we are in the same boat with seed starting, but it’s still too cold here to get out and prune or do garden clean up. Thankful for the reminder every year that it’s ALMOST time to tackle these disasters.
😂😂 sister, I think we all have those trust issues…thanks for the laugh, that was such a true statement 😂😂 For me it’s trusting that “full sun” lie they put on plants here in the hot and humid south. Very few plants can truly take full sun here. The “full sun” label almost never means “zone 8 in the Deep South with 70% average humidity and no reprieve at nights type of full sun”….it really means “zone 4-6 full sun where nights get cool and your humidity isn’t the consistency of boiled soup type full sun” lol 😂😂
Wow I thought I was the only person who felt like this. I also don't trust those zone recommendations. I am doing cleanup for some of the plants now because the ones I planted can easily deal with a cold Spring snap. Otherwise, I'd be wary.
honestly same about those zone trust issues lol, we've been a zone 6 as long as i've lived (only 23 though), and this year we got -13, like, hello? zone 6 is -10 MAX but ok
I've been looking at my hydrangeas that I planted last year, wondering when in spring I'm supposed to prune them, and thought "Laura will let me know!". So thank you...I will get this job done this week!
Ever since I have started watching you I am a lot braver when it comes to pruning my plants. When we started gardening 20+ years ago, every plant was an investment and I was so afraid that cutting off so much might kill them and therefore be money thrown away that we would be hard-pressed to replace. But now I can see that it was actually better to give my plants the attention they needed for their overall health and for a better show. Thank you for helping me to be fearless and to enjoy my garden more.
I love that I can watch you actually work in your garden. I have a new home with no garden established, so I am vicariously living out gardening through you. Thank you.
Please, please can you do a tree update tour of all the trees you planted way back in April 2018, so we can see how they have matured since that time 😀🤗
You can see those trees in their garden tour videos. Some of the trees from 2018 they relocated when they bought the land for the south garden, but around that time she did mention alot of those same trees.
Greeting, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 I love watching you guys getting all of your chores done. You are giving me a boost of determination to get my jobs done today. Thank you, My Dear 💓
So happy to see you starting to wear gloves more often now. I never used to wear them until I started to get older and found that I could go faster when my hands were protected. Now that I’m really older I use hospital gloves under my gardening gloves LOL. I was very blessed however one year my hubby bought me gauntlet (leather) gloves for roses.
I put out the potted tulips I planted last fall! They thrived in my garage (zone 6b) and are 6” tall now. Also cleaned out my lambs ear and planted a lilac. Come on, Spring! 🌺🌷💐
I love that you got Aaron to help you dump the Gator! The effort he put in to pushing the automatic lift button for the bed, really took it out of him. 🤣 Benjamin is hilarious with his commentary on you being dirty. Lol. Having 70° here tomorrow, you've inspired me (again) to get out and clean up the landscape! Thanks Laura, I'm excited to plant a garden and some perrineals because of you.❤🌼🌸🌿
You mentioned hydrangeas are great for in front of the house because they look good all the time- no deadheading, etc. I wondered if you could do a video of your favorite plants (big and small) for front walkways where you see the plants up close. I love daylillies but found out I don't love them in the walkway where you clearly see the deadheading that needs done. Would love to know your thoughts! Love your videos.. every morning my coffee and a Garden Answer video are the first things I do!!
As satisfying as seeing Spring cleaned out flower beds is nothing can compare to the sweet loving moment between Laura and Benjamin even if she is "all covered in dirt". Lol.
Laura not only are your videos extremely fun to watch, I am consistently amazed at your depth of knowledge about so many plants, your fearlessness in experimenting with new techniques and flowers, and your patience in explaining to us, your viewers, what you’re doing and why! This will be my first full season gardening at my new property and I feel more confident thanks to you. I am planting beautiful roses that before I found your channel I would have feared killing! Every single one of your videos leaves me feeling so good!! Thanks for brightening my day every day and teaching me about gardening along the way. Cheers from NY! 🥂 🌹
I love any GA content, it’s always fun and educational and inspirig. But who’s ready for the season to really get cranked up? It’s going to be a big year for projects... the big trees.. the Hartley.. the cut flower shed... the mysterious brick patio.. and who knows what else is planned. Can’t wait!
Years ago someone asked me why I like pulling weeds and pruning. My answer = because it looks soooo nice when I'm finished and I feel like I have really accomplished something! I am imagining you feel pretty much the same way. Gardening is the best!!!
Nice clean up Ms Laura. Ready for spring and summer. Enjoy your spring. I laughed when Mr. Benjamin said, "your all dirty". So cute. Does he not like getting out and getting dirty ? I thought maybe since he likes to help at times it wouldn't bother him. I pray that Mr. Aaron is doing well from his concussion. I had one once. I was knocked out from falling down a flight of stairs. I cracked facial bones in the process. It took a long time to heal. Be safe and well. God's speed.
Good morning Laura! I smiled when I saw the plant labels tucked into the soil by the hellebore plants. I don’t remember you leaving perennial tags in the ground before. You usually seem to know your plant names off the top of your head. :) I use metal garden markers at the base of my plants along with a plastic tag buried close to the crown of the plant. I locate the markers to the right of the plants to make them easy to find when the plant leafs out. I grow too many varieties of plants to remember all the names. I also use photographic files of images for the plants in the different beds. For things that I have a lot of, like Lilium, hostas, and daylilies, I have spread sheets with names and locations of the plants.
Motivation Motivation Motivation Girl you are such a Motivator. Thank You Thank you 🙏🏻. Now to go get mine done. Much smaller but the only reason I have these plants is because of your example. I’m 63 and learning so much. Bit here in Texas no hydrangeas can hand a full 6 hours of our sun. Just an hour or two of dappled morning sun. I planted a twist and shout and a limelight. So far😉. And some Italian ice last year. And only one hellebore. It’s a experiment for me. Ok. Gotta get busy. I don’t have the young energy you do so I have my grandson helping this week. Thanks again for all the videos. You are my favorite 🤩
You're still a little ahead of us on the chores for outside. We just had 7 inches of snow. I do love the spring because of how much of a contrast it makes once you get everything cleaned up from winter. I'm having trouble getting hydrangeas to grow in my garden. I'm losing them every year. I've tried different spots and it's so frustrating. I want hydrangeas but they don't want me! I'm starting a lot of flowers from seed this year and hopefully they will do great. If they do will save me on my budget for my garden and can put in a lot more drip line. Thanks so much for posting, enjoyed this one with my coffee.
I can see this panicle hydrangea pruning job in my future - I planted seven little limes around the swooping corner of my back yard because I was inspired by you and so far so good! They put on a beautiful show and get lots of compliments from passers by❤️👍👏I'm so ready to say bye-bye to winter and am excited that it's all beginning to happen😁
Enjoy your Felcos !! You couldn't have made a better choice. Mine has been a constant help around my garden for more than 20 years, cutting, pruning, so handy, always sharp; I never go outside without it, in my experience the best tool for working in the garden. I have taken good care of it all those years, it never failed to do his job ! Greetings from Belgium. 😀 🌿 🎋 🌷
Hi Laura and Aaron. After every video I smile thinking of what an amazing legacy you're leaving for your children; for them to be able to watch these when they're older. What a gift!
Seeing that new growth inspires me to clean up. Seeing Laura tackle the chores is encouraging to me. I am enjoying watching Benjamin grow up learning about gardening and he is imitating his parents so well. What a sweet boy. You are blessed.
On the West coast (Vancouver Canada) we are able to grow hydrangeas like no bodies business. Those and hostas. Lots of moisture here! I love learning from you and making my garden healthier and more beautiful. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening with us. 🥰 Making nature beautiful one new gardener at a time.
Laura and Aaron, you are teaching more than you know by offering a good marriage example to many who never had the opportunity to see while growing up. Case in point is near the end of the video where Laura is peeking around the pop-up and Aaron asks, "Comfy?".. Her look at her husband is full of love. Kudos.
You are a great garden and plant motivational coach for me. We still have snow on the ground. I will start cleaning up as soon as I see sunny days. Thank you very much for your amazing videos.
G'mornin GA family! Last evening I did some garden cleanup: buddleia, hellebore, heuchera and brunnera, plus pulled weeds and put down rose tone. It was a wonderful thing to get out and do again. I'm feeling it in my shoulders this morning and moving slowly. BUT! The beautiful weather, emerging daffs & tulips and the birds are all beckoning once again. (Door slams, having gone outside...........)
The brick sidewalks there are the improvement on which I was focused. Such a drastic and beautiful difference they make. Recently, I was looking back through your videos for your opinions on how to grow asparagus, which I am finally going to try. It's astounding to see how much your landscape has changed and how it's slowly but surely coalescing into one seamless whole dotted throughout with individual garden pockets. Really looking forward to seeing what you do this year. ~ Lisa
I got three quarters of the way through your video to the hydrangea pruning part and was inspired to immediately go prune my own and watch the rest now.
Thank you for showing the hydrangea pruning. Since finding your show, I now have 8 Hydrangea's and fell in love with Dahlias! Benjamin is the cutest, imagine that you have dirt on you! 🤣🤣
You have no idea what a gift these videos are for us folks who live in colder zones ☺️ I’ve been itching to get out but there’s still 2 feet of snow on the ground 🤣
I love your videos and they have helped me in working my plants and scrubs. You have taught me so much and I can’t wait to get up and watch your videos you bring me so much pleasure and I adore your family.
These videos are informative and necessary. It gives hope and help to those with a gardener’s heart but not a yet true green thumb ( but getting there 😉). Thanks for sharing 😊🙏🏽
Yes! Exactly wanted I needed to see, learning all the time. I hope you film pruning the Clementis at your outdoor fireplace - I have two at my arbor and every year I wonder if I am doing it more harm than good.
I am looking forward at pruning my Limelights and see how they do this year. I planted them last year zone 7 and they were small but pretty. I cannot wait to see how they grow big and full of blooms. Thank you for the inspiration!
Pruning these make me feel like I do when I come out of the hair salon with a nice hair cut! It’s just the best feeling! That’s how I feel about pruning…..best feeling for the plants.
Last week I bought myself 2 hydrangeas, 2 clematis and 1 rose bush. Today I ordered Felco 14 pruners (I have small hands) and 2 pair of gloves. The pair you demonstrated with the berry bushes and a pair like what your wearing in this video.
I planted a hellebore last year to see how they would do for me, well my deer love them!!!! All I have is a few dead leaves from last year no new growth!! Hopefully they will get some new growth now that the deer have other things to eat.
What a timely video! I was out in the glorious spring , 68 and sunny 🌞 trimming roses cutting back perennial’s and raking , I’ll have at least one big load to haul away with the Ranger ! Came in to rest and watch my favorite RUclipsr Garden Answer !My arms are all scratched from the roses , I don’t even notice because I get so involved! I want to cut back the hydrangeas in front of our house now . Oh and get rid of all the chickweed growing prolifically 😖 I suppose you don’t deal with chickweed ? It’s our winter ground cover , uninvited of course !
🌼Good morning Laura and family Looking good , now it's my turn to get my hands dirty thank you for sharing as always, have an awesome day 🙂 We're suppose to have some rain Thursday yay! 👏 💦 here in the Oklahoma Panhandle (Texas County). 🌹
I feel like half of my pruning chores are now done! If only!!! I only have one hellebore, hard to find around me. I will search harder to find more this year since mine bloomed well I to summer. All because of Laura! Thanks
I planted an Ivory Prince Hellabore last fall. Can’t wait to see it grow this year. I still have couple feet of snow on the ground here (Québec 🇨🇦) I love to watch your spring pruning and cleaning videos. You are far ahead of me 😉 Feel great to see new growth!
It's so satisfying to watch you (high speed) pruning and cleaning up. We still have rain happening here but I stand at the window, pruners in hand, just waiting for a few minutes of blue sky so I can get my pruning done too. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration!!
Whoa! I bet you were hurting the next day. Those early spring clean outs are tough after a long winter. So satisfying to stand back and observe the end results though.
Clearing away last years growth and finding the buds emerging from the earth below is one of the most exciting things about spring! (I know everyone here will totally understand that! ;). ). Thanks for all the inspiration and get-er-done attitude! It is contagious!
Yes! I was excitedly, baby talking to my new sedum growth today 😂
I shift from watching the news to GA and enjoy watching normalcy and the pursuit of beauty and your beautiful life. Thank you. From C-19 to geo political crisis, seeing a steady stream of sweet family activity, garden creation and inspirational content. What a precious blessing This work that you do is for us. Again thank you! Virtual hugs!
Watching corporate produced news isn't worth it. Independent RUclips creators a re vastly superior.
🙌 hallelujah get out there and get yourself a beautiful rose bush today!? Or start some easy seeds in a window zinnias are always a major hit!
That was a cute lil smile you gave your hubby when he asked if you were comfy holding the trash bag in your lap..How sweet!!!😊
With coffee in hand I bid you all good morning. I cleaned up a flower bed I started last fall and I see my Autumn Joy sedum is coming up and the iris I planted last fall. The iris came form my grammas garden, my aunt dug them up in the 80s and has split them and gave to my cousin and my cousins sent me some a few years ago. I was so glad they are growing since I had to move last fall and honestly i just stuck them in the ground in hopes to keep them alive. It worked. ☺
Love that for you! We recently moved from S Texas to N Georgia and brought transplants with us. Praying mom’s and granny’s irises pop up soon. ❤️❤️
I brought dozens of yellow iris when I moved here. They all grew back purple.
Hello Laura, you have already created so many videos with tasks that have to be done. Do you think it would be possible for you to create a "monthly playlist"? At least for spring and autumn. Then you could look up what and how to do everything in February or March. Thank you for your videos. Greetings from southern Germany.
this is a great idea !!
You can also make your own playlist on RUclips if it's not a big chore for you. Just find the spring videos you need and add them to a playlist with the name you need! Schöne Grüße aus NRW!
I love the Playlist idea
What a wonderful idea
Oh my goodness, Benjamin always cracks me up. He’s such a cutie. The way he said you’re all dirty, with that little bit of twang. My heart!
Good morning everyone 🌷🌼🌺🌱🌱🦋🦋🐞🐞☕☕🌅
It's amazing that with that amount of trimming that the roses with grow back. Nature is incredible.
Good evening from Australia 🇦🇺
Good morning y’all at GAF! Happy Gardening Today! Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh AMEN 🙏🏼 ✨🤍
Gosh, this is so helpful. I love how you do everything yourself & show it. It makes it feel more realistic about all of the things I can accomplish on my own. We have a huge property and I find myself always in it with so much more confidence because of your videos. Thank you for all you share and do.
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Ahhh. The same exact three things I need to address in the garden. Also a zone 5/6 (newly 6 but still plant for a 5 because I have trust issues 😂) so we are in the same boat with seed starting, but it’s still too cold here to get out and prune or do garden clean up. Thankful for the reminder every year that it’s ALMOST time to tackle these disasters.
lol....yes, they say i am a 7, but i still lose plants that are zone 7, so 6 it will stay.
😂😂 sister, I think we all have those trust issues…thanks for the laugh, that was such a true statement 😂😂
For me it’s trusting that “full sun” lie they put on plants here in the hot and humid south. Very few plants can truly take full sun here. The “full sun” label almost never means “zone 8 in the Deep South with 70% average humidity and no reprieve at nights type of full sun”….it really means “zone 4-6 full sun where nights get cool and your humidity isn’t the consistency of boiled soup type full sun” lol 😂😂
Wow I thought I was the only person who felt like this. I also don't trust those zone recommendations. I am doing cleanup for some of the plants now because the ones I planted can easily deal with a cold Spring snap. Otherwise, I'd be wary.
honestly same about those zone trust issues lol, we've been a zone 6 as long as i've lived (only 23 though), and this year we got -13, like, hello? zone 6 is -10 MAX but ok
I've been looking at my hydrangeas that I planted last year, wondering when in spring I'm supposed to prune them, and thought "Laura will let me know!". So thank you...I will get this job done this week!
Only if they’re arborescens or paniculata. If in doubt, wait until after they bloom. 👍
Ever since I have started watching you I am a lot braver when it comes to pruning my plants. When we started gardening 20+ years ago, every plant was an investment and I was so afraid that cutting off so much might kill them and therefore be money thrown away that we would be hard-pressed to replace. But now I can see that it was actually better to give my plants the attention they needed for their overall health and for a better show. Thank you for helping me to be fearless and to enjoy my garden more.
Agreed! I had that experience with my succulents! 🌵
Laura, with the stain on the front of your house from the hydrangeas can you try some of that cleaning product you used on the window boxes 🤔
I love pruning videos. If you ever fear they are "boring," no no no. Soothing and satisfying to watch. Also informative. : )
Good Morning Everyone from New Jersey 🥰🥰🥰
I love that I can watch you actually work in your garden. I have a new home with no garden established, so I am vicariously living out gardening through you. Thank you.
Good Morning Everyone :-) coffee in hands and watching Laura work hard :-)
Can’t get any better than that! ✨🤍
Please, please can you do a tree update tour of all the trees you planted way back in April 2018, so we can see how they have matured since that time 😀🤗
Yes! I have been wanting them to do spring bloom/fall color tree tours for years. They always seem to ignore the trees in their tours.
You can see those trees in their garden tour videos. Some of the trees from 2018 they relocated when they bought the land for the south garden, but around that time she did mention alot of those same trees.
I hear a red winged blackbird in the background. A harbinger of spring for me! 😊
Greeting, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
I love watching you guys getting all of your chores done. You are giving me a boost of determination to get my jobs done today. Thank you, My Dear 💓
Right! Someone’s gotta do It First! ;)
Good morning, Laura☕️ This is my first Spring for my 5 Hellebores 🙌🏻 Perfect timing for their first pruning. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Yes, how did Laura know I was looking at the hellebores I planted last year and wondering what I needed to do for spring clean up!
I once heard someone say, “I’m not afraid of hard work. I could sit and watch it all day.” 😁
I could sit and watch you all day! 👍 Love your videos! 🐈
Love the quote!
So happy to see you starting to wear gloves more often now. I never used to wear them until I started to get older and found that I could go faster when my hands were protected. Now that I’m really older I use hospital gloves under my gardening gloves LOL. I was very blessed however one year my hubby bought me gauntlet (leather) gloves for roses.
Good morning! 😊
good moring
It looks so easy in fast forward 🤣❤️🤣
I put out the potted tulips I planted last fall! They thrived in my garage (zone 6b) and are 6” tall now. Also cleaned out my lambs ear and planted a lilac. Come on, Spring! 🌺🌷💐
I love that you got Aaron to help you dump the Gator! The effort he put in to pushing the automatic lift button for the bed, really took it out of him. 🤣 Benjamin is hilarious with his commentary on you being dirty. Lol. Having 70° here tomorrow, you've inspired me (again) to get out and clean up the landscape! Thanks Laura, I'm excited to plant a garden and some perrineals because of you.❤🌼🌸🌿
Watching Laura at work makes me forget all the craziness in the world 🌎 THANK YOU for these videos ❤
Good morning Aaron & Laura. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Can't wait for spring. ❤🤟🌱🌸
That precious moment when your words come out of your child's mouth and you know they heard you all those times...
🌞❤️🌞
It's snowing here in Maine as I watch this clean up video. I can not wait until I can get outside and start. Thank You for your daily videos.
“snowing here in Maine” …. Must be beautiful.
I've always loved those hydrangeas! Gorgeous when in full bloom😍😍😍
You mentioned hydrangeas are great for in front of the house because they look good all the time- no deadheading, etc. I wondered if you could do a video of your favorite plants (big and small) for front walkways where you see the plants up close. I love daylillies but found out I don't love them in the walkway where you clearly see the deadheading that needs done. Would love to know your thoughts! Love your videos.. every morning my coffee and a Garden Answer video are the first things I do!!
That's a great idea! I keep changing things out for the same reason and would love some of Laura's suggestions. Have a great day!🍀😊🌳
She likes lavender 😊
We've got the same chores to take care of in the coming weeks - Roses, Hydrangeas, Phlox. As Laura said, they'll look happier when we are done! 🙂.
As satisfying as seeing Spring cleaned out flower beds is nothing can compare to the sweet loving moment between Laura and Benjamin even if she is "all covered in dirt". Lol.
This was very helpful and I’m more confident in tackling my hydrangeas and hellebores this spring. Thank you so much!
Laura not only are your videos extremely fun to watch, I am consistently amazed at your depth of knowledge about so many plants, your fearlessness in experimenting with new techniques and flowers, and your patience in explaining to us, your viewers, what you’re doing and why! This will be my first full season gardening at my new property and I feel more confident thanks to you. I am planting beautiful roses that before I found your channel I would have feared killing! Every single one of your videos leaves me feeling so good!! Thanks for brightening my day every day and teaching me about gardening along the way. Cheers from NY! 🥂 🌹
Love spring clean up !
I also love spring cleaning! It puts peace in my heart....✨🤍
I could watch a real time video of this pruning day, just the sound of the pruners clipping and nature in the background is so satisfying! ❤
I love any GA content, it’s always fun and educational and inspirig. But who’s ready for the season to really get cranked up? It’s going to be a big year for projects... the big trees.. the Hartley.. the cut flower shed... the mysterious brick patio.. and who knows what else is planned. Can’t wait!
Years ago someone asked me why I like pulling weeds and pruning. My answer = because it looks soooo nice when I'm finished and I feel like I have really accomplished something! I am imagining you feel pretty much the same way. Gardening is the best!!!
Nice clean up Ms Laura. Ready for spring and summer. Enjoy your spring. I laughed when Mr. Benjamin said, "your all dirty". So cute. Does he not like getting out and getting dirty ? I thought maybe since he likes to help at times it wouldn't bother him. I pray that Mr. Aaron is doing well from his concussion. I had one once. I was knocked out from falling down a flight of stairs. I cracked facial bones in the process. It took a long time to heal. Be safe and well. God's speed.
I really, really enjoy hearing all the natural noise in the background!
Good morning Laura! I smiled when I saw the plant labels tucked into the soil by the hellebore plants. I don’t remember you leaving perennial tags in the ground before. You usually seem to know your plant names off the top of your head. :) I use metal garden markers at the base of my plants along with a plastic tag buried close to the crown of the plant.

For things that I have a lot of, like Lilium, hostas, and daylilies, I have spread sheets with names and locations of the plants.
Love hydrangeas but never tried to grow in Zone 9b aka lizard country. Love your orange kitties. I hope they have a warm bed when it’s cold.
From what she’s said previously, they have heated beds in the barn, access to the heated greenhouse, and get let inside the house whenever they want.
@@Erin-tk5jw Thank you for replying! I’m relatively new to the channel and love pets so always concerned for them. 🤗
Motivation Motivation Motivation Girl you are such a Motivator. Thank You Thank you 🙏🏻. Now to go get mine done. Much smaller but the only reason I have these plants is because of your example. I’m 63 and learning so much. Bit here in Texas no hydrangeas can hand a full 6 hours of our sun. Just an hour or two of dappled morning sun. I planted a twist and shout and a limelight. So far😉.

They put on a beautiful show and get lots of compliments from passers by❤️👍👏I'm so ready to say bye-bye to winter and am excited that it's all beginning to happen😁
Everything looks so nice after the clean up is done! I need to start my clean up but I usually wait til it dries up a little from the snow melt! 🙂✂️🧹🌿
That loving glance that you gave Aaron in the gator was just the sweetest.
That was so satisfying just watching you trim and clean that rose bush!!
Oh to be able to kneel down like that again. Great job kiddo
I guess I've got my marching orders for this weekend. My brand new Felcos arrived last month. Itching to use them!
Enjoy your Felcos !! You couldn't have made a better choice. Mine has been a constant
help around my garden for more than 20 years, cutting, pruning, so handy, always sharp;
I never go outside without it, in my experience the best tool for working
in the garden. I have taken good care of it all those years, it never failed to do his job !
Greetings from Belgium. 😀 🌿 🎋 🌷
I'm ready to get out there this weekend. You're my Inspiration. Thank you, Laura. P.S. would love another 🎹 recital. 😉 🪴 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹

Case in point is near the end of the video where Laura is peeking around the pop-up and Aaron asks, "Comfy?".. Her look at her husband is full of love. Kudos.
Don't listen to those who say wait until temps are over 50 degrees consistently to clean up your garden. I am cleaning up mine also.
You are a great garden and plant motivational coach for me. We still have snow on the ground. I will start cleaning up as soon as I see sunny days. Thank you very much for your amazing videos.
G'mornin GA family! Last evening I did some garden cleanup: buddleia, hellebore, heuchera and brunnera, plus pulled weeds and put down rose tone. It was a wonderful thing to get out and do again. I'm feeling it in my shoulders this morning and moving slowly. BUT! The beautiful weather, emerging daffs & tulips and the birds are all beckoning once again. (Door slams, having gone outside...........)
Your porch railing by the steps is gorgeous!!!
Second season watching, learning about the earth, the cycles…how to appreciate our planet and the beauty she brings forth if you attend and care.
The brick sidewalks there are the improvement on which I was focused. Such a drastic and beautiful difference they make. Recently, I was looking back through your videos for your opinions on how to grow asparagus, which I am finally going to try. It's astounding to see how much your landscape has changed and how it's slowly but surely coalescing into one seamless whole dotted throughout with individual garden pockets. Really looking forward to seeing what you do this year. ~ Lisa
I got three quarters of the way through your video to the hydrangea pruning part and was inspired to immediately go prune my own and watch the rest now.
Good job ….Benjamin♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌻
I love this areas of your yard!! I think it’s so pretty and the area by the the fireplace is so cozy feeling!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for showing the hydrangea pruning. Since finding your show, I now have 8 Hydrangea's and fell in love with Dahlias! Benjamin is the cutest, imagine that you have dirt on you! 🤣🤣
Great clean up. Yes so satisfying. Looks fantastic. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Oh wow, what a massive clean-up!! Great result!! ☀️
I'm itching to get out an clean up, but I'm still under about 6" of snow. This week looks mild and I'm ready for it to go!! Zone 5b
You have no idea what a gift these videos are for us folks who live in colder zones ☺️ I’ve been itching to get out but there’s still 2 feet of snow on the ground 🤣
Same here, in Edmonton, Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
@@sandradickie4150 Me too!! Howdy neighbour 😄
I love your videos and they have helped me in working my plants and scrubs. You have taught me so much and I can’t wait to get up and watch your videos you bring me so much pleasure and I adore your family.
7:20 the asmr 🤯🥰 the leaves crackling and the birds chirping 🦅 so good thank you 🙏
Lol. "You're all dirty"! Lol. Made my morning! Great job.
These videos are informative and necessary. It gives hope and help to those with a gardener’s heart but not a yet true green thumb ( but getting there 😉). Thanks for sharing 😊🙏🏽
You are so close to the 1.5 million subscribers. I am so excited for you. I wonder if you have a celebration planned. Cheering you on!
If only we could all work in Laura time laps speed! 😄
Yes! Exactly wanted I needed to see, learning all the time. I hope you film pruning the Clementis at your outdoor fireplace - I have two at my arbor and every year I wonder if I am doing it more harm than good.
I am looking forward at pruning my Limelights and see how they do this year. I planted them last year zone 7 and they were small but pretty. I cannot wait to see how they grow big and full of blooms. Thank you for the inspiration!
Pruning these make me feel like I do when I come out of the hair salon with a nice hair cut! It’s just the best feeling! That’s how I feel about pruning…..best feeling for the plants.
I love garden clean up...that's what I focus more of now too.😀
Last week I bought myself 2 hydrangeas, 2 clematis and 1 rose bush. Today I ordered Felco 14 pruners (I have small hands) and 2 pair of gloves. The pair you demonstrated with the berry bushes and a pair like what your wearing in this video.
I planted a hellebore last year to see how they would do for me, well my deer love them!!!!
All I have is a few dead leaves from last year no new growth!!
Hopefully they will get some new growth now that the deer have other things to eat.
What a timely video! I was out in the glorious spring , 68 and sunny 🌞 trimming roses cutting back perennial’s and raking , I’ll have at least one big load to haul away with the Ranger ! Came in to rest and watch my favorite RUclipsr Garden Answer !My arms are all scratched from the roses , I don’t even notice because I get so involved! I want to cut back the hydrangeas in front of our house now . Oh and get rid of all the chickweed growing prolifically 😖 I suppose you don’t deal with chickweed ? It’s our winter ground cover , uninvited of course !
Always nice to have a refresh on pruning. Pruning Hellebores and Panicles are on this week's agenda.
🌼Good morning Laura and family
Looking good , now it's my turn to get my hands dirty thank you for sharing as always, have an awesome day 🙂 We're suppose to have some rain Thursday yay! 👏 💦 here in the Oklahoma Panhandle (Texas County). 🌹
I could have watched you prune the roses in real time close up, sooo satisfying and therapeutic!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤️❤️
Oh mom, you got dirt on you again. 😁😁😁
So you could Use the dried part that you cut off for floral wreaths and dried floral arrangements! Haha, bonus gift to yourself!
Can’t wait for the weather to warm up, so I go out and do some flower bed spring cleaning . Thank you for the motivation 🌸🌼🌺🌻
I feel like half of my pruning chores are now done! If only!!! I only have one hellebore, hard to find around me. I will search harder to find more this year since mine bloomed well I to summer. All because of Laura! Thanks
I planted an Ivory Prince Hellabore last fall. Can’t wait to see it grow this year.
I still have couple feet of snow on the ground here (Québec 🇨🇦)
I love to watch your spring pruning and cleaning videos. You are far ahead of me 😉
Feel great to see new growth!
It's so satisfying to watch you (high speed) pruning and cleaning up. We still have rain happening here but I stand at the window, pruners in hand, just waiting for a few minutes of blue sky so I can get my pruning done too. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration!!
Whoa! I bet you were hurting the next day. Those early spring clean outs are tough after a long winter. So satisfying to stand back and observe the end results though.
