Imagine waking up and having a cup of coffee just walking around this property.
I would happily pay money to do that...
Sounds heavenly
Goals!
Right??!!!!!!!💕
IKR, I can totally vaca there its gorgeous!
This, among other reasons, is why you are such an inspiration!! You are real, you show failures along with successes, ideas that were good at the time but didn't pan out, plants you just put in the ground that you already have to move... we've all been there, but having someone like you acknowledge the same issues we have, shows us all that no garden is perfect. It's always a work in progress! Thanks💙
THIS!!!!
You look worn out young lady.
My husband just tells me, "It's a landscaping opportunity." Very comforting.
Sounds like you have an awesome husband!
That’s pretty much my philosophy-“A dead plant is a new opportunity!”
That is the sweetest!!!
Great husband mine tells me sorry chicky don't try so hard
Does anyone think the “fast forward” is really just Laura’s normal speed and the rest of the video is slowed down. 🥰. Love her energy. Love her spirit! LOVE the hydrangeas! 🌸🌿
🤣🤣🤣
Laura’s real speed...fast forward!
Lol 😂 😂
😂
Yes I do. Can't Believe what She accomplishes in a Day. 😊😊😊
Yes! I've thought that to myself before!
I’m sorry they all died but I’m sure glad to see that even Laura has epic fails in the garden. I keep nursing things that I just need to rip out and replace. Thank you Laura and Aaron!!
I recently planted a 'Sweet Tea' heucherella (to replace two that didn't make it from last season) knowing it's probably dead due to lack of water.
I'm an optimist. 😅 The other plant was getting water so it looks healthy.
An epic fail, i don't think so. As another commenter so elegantly said its not a fail but a lesson learned. I love that. If we try, it's not failing.

@@sharrimills3293 I kick myself for killing stuff wondering what I did wrong and I see Laura having the same issues so it makes me feel better🌺🌸
Sorry Laura after reading my post “epic fail” sounded a little harsh😞I didn’t mean it that way!! You are super mom super gardener and sometimes when things even die with you it makes me feel a little better when I kill stuff sometimes it just happens.
I was at a nursery yesterday buying more plants for a new garden we're putting in. Haha! There was a woman there who was putting a new garden together and she said something like "You look like you have things well in hand." I said, "I watch Laura @GardenAnswer so I know everything!" Then I laughed and said I was teasing about me knowing everything but Laura does! I love to garden! I so appreciate the confidence I've gained at near 60 years old from watching this channel and being so encouraged. These ppl are a huge blessing to do many ppl around the world! (I just wish I had the energy that I had when I was younger!!!)
I've mentioned this channel several times at local garden centers. I'm always surprised when they say they've never heard of "Garden Answer." Hopefully, they're now subscribers.
@@Edu_Kate agreed... I know not everyone does the youtube thang but they could learn a lot in a few minutes a day. I know I have and it's always pleasurable! ❤️
If Laura only knew how much she helped me up my gardening game. I just wish I could show her.
@@vadaann1279 You can tag her on facebook and or instagram and she sees the pics you will post.
This is such an important kind of video! Just because I have a beautiful garden doesn't mean I never kill a plant. It means, I keep trying!
I planted 2 hydrangeas this year & I never would of if not for Laura!!! Got my coffee☕️☕️
Me too!!
Me too! Gosh, I hope we can order these next year.
@@lindalee601 me too!!! They’re beautiful!
I've always loved hydrangeas, but only learned about their care and maintenance from Laura. I'm ready to replace an old variety with one of the newer ones and will properly prune it going forward.
💚Good morning everyone. Coffee in hand watching Laura create another beautiful space. A wonderful day it will be! 🧚🏻♂️🌱😀
Good morning!
Does anyone else think that “Flight of the Bumblebee” should be the background music when Laura is planting?
Good choice 👍
😂🤣😂
Absolutely!
Good morning, Laura ☕️ Oh. My. Word. Those Hydrangeas are gorgeous! I cannot wait to get my hands on them! I love how PW is making smaller shrubs that can get tucked into smaller beds. 🙌🏻
Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Me too!
I just went on Home Depot app and they have that hydrangea available for delivery to your home
Wonderful timing! Just last night I was searching your old videos to see how these Limettas were doing. As a future suggestion - could you do videos focused on just one type of plant? For example, visit all your hydrangeas in one video, and all your roses in another. I love seeing how the different varieties compare. Love your channel - you are so inspiring!
Jenny from Creekside just did a video about these yesterday. PW sent them some to test and see how the blooms did with the nighttime temps that don’t cool down in the south. Apparently they are worried the blooms won’t go red, just brown. Looking forward to seeing if they work in your area.
Love the comment of "Sometimes you have to pull something out and try something new"! Thank you for sharing your garden with all of us.
I’m that gardener that would save those less healthy plants and try to save them and replant them elsewhere. As usual, Laura making her space beautiful! Can’t wait to see blooms!!
I agree. I’d try to save them. Move to small container and baby it.
Good morning everyone from Windermere, Florida zone 9b
Happy Monday Gardening 🌿💚🌿
Thanks, Laura! Some of us need to be reassured that failing is part of growing! Thanks for being REAL.
I bought the limetta’s and made a small hedge 2 years ago. You are so right, because half are glorious, and the other half are half the size and just surviving not thriving. Same lightings, planted same day. We had a ice storm here in Oregon this past winter and a tree landed on one, so I’ve had to replace one.
Our gardens are all trial and error’s that the beauty of it.
Is this the real Laura or an imposter......a tape measure?! Aaron must be thrilled!
Very satisfying to take care of a spot where your plants aren't thriving. I'm so thankful not to have the soil issue that you're combatting, but then I can't dig a hole in the clay without being on my hands and knees using the claw side of a hammer. Always trade offs :) And how I love hydrangeas. I have so many in my zone 7B gardens, maybe 50, and they never ever disappoint! Keep the hydrangeas coming!!! Love that particular garden of your property.
This is the official reminder to stake your delphiniums!
lol I need to do that too
Me too! Thx😆
And the grasses!!
Mine are blooming as of yesterday. Never had them till this year and am very excited. I planted a flat of varied colors and was thinking I'd better stake them. They are showing no sign of trouble but I'd heard it several times on line. So I guess that's what I'm doing today.
And she was right there too, lol. 👍
I chuckled when Laura said not everything works out. Started out 6 years ago with clay flower beds. It took 2 years before I read how to remedy the problem. This is the 3rd different bed of grasses and flowers I'm trying out. I hope to find right combo of soil and plants in another 2 or 3 tries. If not, back to Hostas. :)
Not the hostas! I have so much shade. Whenever i asked what plants i could use the only two answers-hostas and impatients. 😆
@@catsrus-es9eu ever tried out Anemone hupehensis or Anemone Japonica? It's for half shade. And Kirengeshoma palmata looks interesting. But it blooms late.
@@wiltrudfriesch6781 no..I'll look them up. Thanks!
The Little Lime Punch hydrangeas should look absolutely beautiful in that area Laura. When they bloom they will really be a punch of color there.
Laura, yes, learning from you that there are still fails even after years of gardening is liberating as my wife and I continue to learn about flower and vegetable gardening in Zone 6A (Crestwood, KY). What you have also taught us is that gardening is definitely not a 'one and done' type of thing but rather throughout the season you can be adding/moving/changing plants as the weather changes. My wife was convinced she didn't have room to add a 'thriller' to a pot around our pool and I showed her a video of you planting some pots and she quickly saw that our pot could handle another plant or two! Thanks for all you do for the gardening community across the country!
Boy, do I wish I had your energy! (And do it as fast as you do! 😂 )
@Pat Paradine don’t respond because it’s a fake account.
Those Proven Winners... lost. I actually credit you for saving my hydrangea. Your channel was the first place I heard of chlorosis and immediately got some iron tone. They've recovered!
Thank you for showing us your mistakes, cause basically most of my gardening experience is mistakes, and I would give up. Since I have been watching your videos last summer, I am braving gardening again, and have learned SO MUCH FROM YOU! Thank you! I love your cheerful demeanor, even during gardening adversity. Keep up the good work, bringing plant lovers back to gardening with a little less fear of failure. Cause apparently, failure is part of gardening (just like in life, haha) gotta keep on keepin' on ✊
Hi Laura, My daughter, my husband and myself watch your videos every morning with our tea and coffee. Something has been running through my head, that grassy area under the weeping willow tree how about a swing set for Samantha and Benjamin. I think is would be beautiful to look out from the green house and see the kids playing around the tree. Thank you for starting my day with inspiration.
Thank you for showing us realistic gardening! In the world of social media we are always shown what works, what’s perfect. So it’s nice to see that even the best gardeners have plants that don’t thrive. That really shows us what the mindset of any gardener (and really anybody) should be. If something doesn’t work, figure out why and what could be done differently and try again. Your videos are always refreshing and encouraging!
Gardening is one experiment! 😼 There are rules somewhere but nature refuses to give the full details away. Any ‘expert’ needs to be as honest as you 😺
Great show! Like it when you show us problem areas and ideas on how to solve. One of my favorite things about your show is your ability to describe your thought process for the work you do gardening. I can relate. Thanks Laura!
Happy for more small scale options in hydrangea!
It happens.......to everyone. Gonna look FANTASTIC!
Hi Laura and Aaron! I hope your new hydrangeas do better there. It's really appreciated when you share the fails and then what you do to help insure that the new plants do their best. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much. I love the transparency you have into the good and bad happening on your property. Seeing someone with a garden as large and beautiful as yours making mistakes gives us, people like me, the confidence to try stuff and not give up.
I hate that you lost the plants but it helps to know I'm not alone. I really needed this video! I've been struggling with hydrangeas for years since moving to South Carolina. I've lost so many except for one I have in a container. Now I have some new solutions to try.
I just returned from Idaho and of course we HAD to make the drive to Andrews Seed. (bucket list) We were able to meet Susan, Laura’s mom, very sweet and even more beautiful then I expected, inside and out. Also when I got home I was greeted by my row of Little Limes in bloom. So pretty.
Those are going to be gorgeous in that spot!
I feel much better about everything that has failed in my garden. Thank you for sharing both the ups and downs!
I know that maple isn't supposed to be yellow but that color is pretty cool
I was thinking the same,
That is going to be beautiful, and full of color! 💐💗🌿🥰 Love your honesty, Laura! I've learned that part of gardening is failing and trying again! ☺️🌱💐💚
Thanks for giving me the push needed to just accept that the rosemary I planted by my front entrance isn't going to start pushing new growth and pull it out. I'll simply content myself with having one in a pot instead. I appreciate so much that you keep it real and show us the good, the bad, and the ugly. ~ Lisa
Those are gorgeous hydrangeas!! I love how they transform throughout the season. I cant wait to see you take after the lilac tree and get those suckers out, make it pretty and tidy again. Remembering your video the last time you cleaned one and the end result was amazing 🌸
I’ve been hearing her talk about since they moved into that house! 😁😁
I NNEEEDDDD This Hydrangeas in my LIFE!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! And getting to the point! So many speakers fill their videos with nonsense chatter. You provide the information right away. ❤️❤️❤️
Another reminder for Laura guys! Lets help her out with that too! 🥰
Not that I like seeing you have fails in the garden, but now I don’t feel so bad when I plant the same plant just several feet away from each other and one does beautifully and the other dies. Thank you Laura for all your encouragement!
Those will be beautiful Laura. The color will be so pretty. I am so bad on not wanting anyone to see where things fail or a part of the garden that needs weeding. I finally did a video and showed the good, the bad and the ugly and it was kind of a relief to realize it doesn’t need to be perfect before I record. ❤️😊❤️
Laura, thanks for including troubleshooting videos. They are a tremendous help!
I'm losing a fern...
I have no idea why, but I've made peace with this over the years.
I can only do what I can, and that's good enough.
Thanks for sharing the downs along with the ups.🤗💐
You are working it again,Laura.Was waiting for your steady companion ,Russell..Got a glimpse.😃
Can't wait to see them in bloom at that spot. The bloom colors with the surrounding green shrubs will be amazing!
Thank you for sharing a "Fail" with us. It gives us hope. I personally have alot of "Fails" Makes you So Real. 💖💖💖
Love the idea of the little lime punch! Thanks for sharing a take on amending soil and trouble shooting.
I’m so happy to see you use a tape measure while planting. I thought I was the only one who does that. I feel validated, thank you! 😃
Hey Laura,can’t wait to see these colors ,great choice hope they do better.
Good morning... butIts afternoon in South Africa 🌍
I love love love this video! Thank you for not trying to give the impression that you are the perfect gardener without fails…. Because they just don’t exist. Love your truth and sharing your reality on your journey.
From your lessons, we also learn. 🙏🏻
Adore you and love this channel!
Every time I hear you speak of your high pH soil I remember a 'lecture' I attending regarding adding lime to your soil, which allows the plant to better absorb the nutrients already in the soil. The speaker was Ted Stephens of Nurseries Caroliniana (North Augusta, SC). At first I thought a lecture on Lime - UGH - how boring is this gonna be - but it was one of the best I have ever attended - learned a great deal. You may want to reach out to him for some info regarding this matter. I'm certainly no expert but I always like to pass along info or experiences I have encountered along my gardening journey - just as y'all have done thru your videos. I'm excited for this new variety of hydrangea - we, here in the South, just adore our hydrangeas - wouldn't be a southern garden without them !!! Looking forward to seeing this new hedge in all its glory.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with garden blunders, you can learn just as much from failing then succeeding.
I think this is the first time I saw you measure before planting. Can’t wait to see them bloom.
Wow…..Little Lime Punch!!!!!! I cannot wait to be able to plant one of these in my garden next year. High pH definitely makes iron unavailable to the roots of hydrangeas….that’s why hydrangeas prefer a slightly acidic soil so that they could absorb Fe (iron). Chelated iron and Iron tone are soluble in water so continuous applications is necessary. Hopefully these new LL Punch hydrangeas will be able to thrive there….would love to see how they bloom and their colour change. 🪴💚🙏
Huh? Is this a scam??
That new hydrangea looks gorgeous, will be looking for that next year.
You change plants around more than some change their "drawers" LOLOL I never considered moving a plant once planted. Love you guys.
This year, I moved several shrubs to make room for new ones. I call it "moving furniture."
Only one showed signs of stress (coral berry) so now I make sure it gets plenty of water.
True gardeners always move plants because sometimes you realize it needs better light or more space. Sometimes you have to make room for more beauty.
Hope these Hydrangeas thrive with the fixes that you put in place! That is weird that certain places suffer while other places thrive! Crossing my fingers! 🙂🤞🌿
I’m so glad you show this process! I used to feel terrible when something died.
I love those panicle hydrangeas, hardy, beautiful and easy to take care of them, got bobo, pinky winky, have an old and well established lime light, it’s really great every year. Recommend to everyone 😁
Oh this is going to look amazing!
QUESTION: did you mention the mature size, or did I just miss it?
Thank you again for sharing your garden with us, having my coffee while watching each day's video is one of the favorite ways to start my day.
It’s so interesting to me how different different areas of the country can be. Here in Tennessee where I live we have very high iron acidic soil and I’d never even heard of chlorosis before I started watching your channel. Our plants get every fungal disease known to man and root rot from heavy soils but iron deficiency just isn’t a thing.
Never heard of it here in NY either.
This issue mostly has to do with the soil ph problem.
Can't wait to see these in bloom they're going to be so pretty.
I can’t wait to see those hydrangeas in full bloom! The pictures you popped up and the ones on Proven Winners’ site made me swoon.
Over the years, I too had to replace plants that did take. I bought two lilacs last year, the one did great in the front of the house the other didn't do so well. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that struggles with certain plants. Thanks for encouraging all of us gardeners to trouble shoot and try something new.
It would be really interesting to shoot a video compilation of your favorite "new wood" and "old wood" blooming plant varieties. I tend to prefer things that bloom on new wood, because I like cutting them down and having them come back fresh. We just moved to a new house with no landscaping, so I'm really starting to plan for this fall and next year when I can get some perennials going. Maybe a video to shoot in that studio on a 100 degree day? Lmao.
So here we go! Like magic. Wouldn’t that be great! You are so inspiring Laura.
Good luck with the new plants! Here's it's trying to find a spot not too hot for the hydrangeas.
Thanks Laura, it’s so nice to see even experts like yourself can struggle with plants. We learn the most in our failures.
I can't wait to see these bloom! Thank you for showing us your fail and what you are doing to fix it! We all have these in our gardens!
I can hardly wait to see them in bloom! I love Hydrangea's and Proven Winners really has it going!
You are the Martha Stewart of gardening, and I love every minute of it.
Good morning mdm ❤️🌱
Understanding that all gardeners deal with failure and that it's okay to remove a plant that isn't working out is one of the best lessons that I've learned from your videos. Gardening became easier and happier once I learned this lesson.
Absolutely love you show when things don't work out, and when your troubleshooting doesn't fix the problem. There are so many variables in the garden, and this demonstrates it perfectly. I've had some amazing luck with things I didn't expect to work, and some terrible luck with things I thought would do really well. Trial and error teaches so much in the garden.
Thank you for doing this video. It is a bit of an encouragement that even your garden has set backs. I'm fairly new and things like this happen pretty regularly to me. But it IS getting better. Thank you again and better luck with this round.
Shout out to the editing! Thank you for all your hard work. Love your channel. Super helpful video
Good morning all
Ooooo, so glad these are a zone 3! I may be planting some of these next year, yay!!!
Thank you for the info Laura, they will be GORGEOUS there!!
Laura getting serious with the measuring tape!! This second time around it's going to be perfect! Thanks you for sharing your failures and fixes, It
gives the rest of us a real feel and the confidence to go for it!! Pull it all out and start again! Thanks for your knowledge and techniques Laura and Aaron, can't wait to see the updates!
Can't wait to see them in full bloom. Love the colors!
I really like those new hydrangeas!! I hope they do well there. Seems you and Aaron are going to give them lots of love. I don't want you to have problems but it's good to see that things are not perfect for you either. Our benefit is that you help us fix the problems. For that I'm extremely grateful! ❣
Thumbs down? Really? Anyway always so refreshing to see a planting project👍🏽
@@clearvaluetax2949 This is not the real Garden Answer account!
Good Morning !....best way to start the day is with Garden Answer.
I am totally sold on these hydrangeas....so pretty !
Love seeing these kinds of videos since they show us that we always learn in gardening and not everything works out! Love your videos!
It’s always amazing how close you plant to huge trees. How were you able to dig a hole large enough for the hydrangeas that close to the tree? And doesn’t that make it harder for the hydrangea to get established?
I always run into tree roots, hence I keep a cordless reciprocating saw among my gardening tools.
Since she was replacing shrubs she probably dealt with the tree problem back when the originals were planted.
@ Anita Hadley. I wouldn't text to that comment with the mobile number. It seems unrealistic that they would give their number out. I reported it to Garden Answer. We will see what comes of it. If it is legit, I will surely let you know.
@@cathyl4622 yes, I saw that. Spam for sure.
So true- same plants perform differently in my garden as well. It’s taken awhile to figure out what works where, but that’s the fun of gardening!
I like the scruffy box woods. Excited to see the colour of the hydrangeas. Great job. As usual.
Hydrangeas are always worth the effort!!!! I found this so encouraging. Can’t wait to see what they look like in full bloom:)
Good morning from WI - Love that we constantly get reassurance - also reinforces that “gardening is the ultimate journey sport”, destinations are never fixed!🙂
What a beautiful Hydrangea! 🌺
Oh I can't wait to get my hands on the new Little Lime Punch hydrangea. Can't wait to see yours bloom and see how they do in your area. And thank you for showing garden fails along with the wins. It helps us know that every plant and garden do have issues. It's working with and through those issues that make for good gardening.
For someone newer to your channel like me, I love this kind of video because I’m in the planning phase of my own gardens and I appreciate watching you amend soil and build up new beds!! Excited to see how these do long term!!
