Hi Linda! Please keep sharing your Amazon and QVC links!! I appreciate you taking the time to post them and I always check them out!! Love your outfit and I love your Wednesday walkabout. I don't mind the dogs barking, lawn work, trimming etc. going on! Thanks for sharing Linda🙂❤️
LOVE to hear the noise of weekend warriors in their gardens going at it! That is probably what motivates me the most to get outside and do some yard work. When you join your neighbors outside it feels like a fun group activity - same goes for washing/vacuuming cars with the music playing & the smell of steaks on the grill! Ahhhh, the smell of freshly cut grass!
Oh Linda- I love your Full disclosure with showing your friend trimming your beautiful boxwoods👍 most of us could use a helping hand when our backs act up...ps your looking stylish today in your vintage outfit- love it!
I am in zone 9b, and my manzanita plant blooms as early as January - a real lifesaver for the bees. Next were some tulips I had planted out late, and now my Hummingbird Sage is flowering. Spring is upon us! 🥰
Hi Linda! No need to apologize for the noise or extra help!! I love your garden and I can see how beautiful it is shaping up!! You are very lucky to have people who are reliable and knowledgeable to help you in the garden! The potager is going to look beautiful!! Have a great day! Hi Stewart! :)
That early tulip is my spirit animal. It doesn't matter what the calendar or forecast says, it's a beautiful sunny day so I'm putting on my pretty dress and stepping out! It's SPRING!!! 🌷
Love your walkabout videos and just seeing how your garden transform throughout the year. I'm in San Antonio TX zome 9 and even when we had low 30s and high 40s my yellow daffodils bloomed and now my Texas Mountain Laurel shrubs with their grape like flower clusters has bloomed. Love spring!!!!
Love the sound of garden tools in the back ground things looking lovely I have 4 of those egg forms what a great idea even for Indoor greenery displays ..Thank You Sweet girl🌹❣
I really appreciate all your links!!! It is so much better like you say so we can look for stuff!!!! Thank you so much for all your videos and advice!!! You are such a life saver!
THANK YOU LINDA, IT IS ALWAYS AN INSPIRATION TO SEE YOU WORKING IN THE GARDEN, NOW I AM FEELING READY TO MOVE TO STAR PREPARING MY LITTLE GARDEN BEFORE THE WEATHER GETS TO HOT HERE IN TEXAS.
I'm from zone 9b. Snowdrops bloomed first, then narcissus which have finished blooming - very early growing. Freesia, hollyhocks, irises and peonies are starting to grow and flower. Peach, apple and asian pear blossoms are now growing. I love spring!
I know Spring is coming because I've hauled out all my garden books and starting the 'plan'. However my garden is still under 2 feet of snow so it will be a while yet before I can get my hands dirty.
At age 71, I too have come to realize that there are things that are to heavy, to high, and to hard for me now. I do get help now for some things. And no more ladders for me , as live alone. So if I fall there is no one around to see or hear me. So, I am content to plant and pot and water and prune. I leave the rest to the big boys! haha
The flowering quince shrubs started to bud and bloom in late February. They are a gorgeous coral color. My mon planted them over 20 years ago. I look forward to seeing that garden legacy she left me each spring.
My hellebore is a bit winter weary here in Sandy, OR, but it is blooming. Daffodils are in full bloom, my rhubarb is ready to burst forth, shasta daisies are greening up with base leaves and will begin reaching for the sun, some tulip bulbs are showing little eruptions, so signs of spring are visible. These little harbingers amidst an otherwise rather ragged look overall...I started cutting back some of the dead plant parts as you inspired in a recent video. Lots more clean up to do. But I'm starting to feel the spring call of the garden! You are always so inspiring to me, Linda, encouraging, and full of ideas!
I completely agree with recognizing when you need help in the garden. I have my pine straw put down by a fellow who has done it for me for several years. The back pain it saves me is worth every cent. I have my landscaper prune my shrubs. We discuss the pruning plans, and he goes to work. I have to be more kind to myself and not overdo it. If so do, I pay for it later. This old lady business is tough! I figure I have about 20 more years max to dig in the dirt. My grandmother handled her huge yard until she was about 85!
Zone 7b…First up was my hellebores which stayed in bud stage for quite a while before a beautiful sunny day beckoned them to open! Then the dwarf iris and crocus🤗
I have two little yellow crocus that came up, and then six inches of snow fell on top. So - it turned out well that it’s taking a while for my bulbs to come up! I love your spring garden. Thank you for sharing the sunshine!
Hi Linda! You have to love this time of year! We're more than ready to get to work and the plants are ready to burst! Every plant gets a thorough inspection to see how it manages over winter. Good for you moving and trimming your boxwood.....it looks awesome! Your outfit is awesome!
haha the links..... people love them that is why everything is always sold out by the time i get there.... Great video. I was thinking how amazing it is that the Wednesday Walkabouts are always so interesting .... the same spots all year round always have stories to tell... Hello Spring.....Long Island: Snow Drops and Crocus!
Snowdrops are my first bloom followed by some crocus. I planted a few hellebores last year but do not have any flowers..... Love the box topiary that you showed on front porch. And your potager is going to be so lovely....... Our NE Ohio weather is just finally wonderful, so busy getting the weeds and clean up, feels so good.
Well, I am, once again, catching up! Springtime is truly showing its hand in your area! Here in Kentucky, we are seeing lots of daffodils and after this week of warm weather, I am sure we will start to see lots more trees and flowers in bloom. I can't wait to get over to the new house and begin planning my gardens. The backyard, at our home, is quite large and I will have a clean slate to start with. Sure am glad I found your vlog when I did..LOL! I am going to NEED lots of ideas!! Thanks for a lovely, spring, walkabout! Now, on to the next vlog!! (playing catch up this week!) As always, lots of love and blessings to you and Stewart!
Ms Daisy tree is showing her glorious blooms. I have hellebores blooming. I am in zone 7A and we have heavy storms moving in today and the Daisy tree will lose her beautiful blooms. My tulips are up 10”. Hyacinths are on the verge of blooming.
So excited to see this activity! Still too early in midwest border of Illinois for this but definitely getting the urge to dig in the dirt. Your boxwood will be amazing. Your enthusiasm is contagious! You go girl.
Please don’t throw them away! They’re still so pretty. My Cousin in Tucson, says she’s trying to reason with Mother Nature to see her garden come back. She checks everyday!
I would definitely not be able to throw out the gorgeous dried hydrangea arrangement. I use large cellophane basket bags that I buy in a 2 pack at the dollar store to cover my decorated lanterns during off seasons. I would just put one over the top, leaving the bottom open . And store it in my garage. I see it in the fall with a white and green pumpkin and a bowl of mixed nits in the shell.
I had a boxwood covered in "freckles" and I googled it. The article suggested putting a sheet of white paper under/beside it and tussling the plant (as you do) and if lots of flies fell out, that's what you've got. I sprayed mine with a safe pesticide and got rid of them. I was much later that you in observing it, and it has taken it's time recovering. I'm babying it now and hoping this year it will be back to normal. It didn't grow at all last year. I sound like a maniac, but I love my boxwoods and thought I was vigilant!
Manitoba zone 3 is still under a great deal of snow. It’s a late cool spring here so won’t see much for a good 2 months, but love to see what’s going on there.....gives me hope!😄🇨🇦
❤️ Hi all fellow gardeners, I am sending you all greetings from my 7a zone garden in 🇩🇪 Germany. My first blooms are reliably snowdrops and crocuses and my new spring flower love is iris reticulata very early and a lot of colour. ❤️
@@coloradotulips not as bad as tulips and narcissus ones and not as long lasting, the flowers come first and the foliage later, actually it looks like a grass, it is very long and thin. When they start to fade, I take one or two of them and tie them all together and that looks quite good. ❤️ Hope that I could help. ❤️ It is definitely worth growing them, because of the early colour they bring and they come back reliably and they are much bigger than crocuses. ❤️
My various shades of purple pansies and violas have come back to life and look gorgeous. Nothing has leafed out, but with warmer daytime temps it won’t be long.
Loved this Vlog. Your garden has really moved into Spring, and it’s exciting to see the changes. I highly recommend planting some snowdrops. I’m in zone 7a, and they have really done well for me, and I know you would fall in love with them. I also have crocuses, daffodils, hellebores and deciduous magnolias blooming. My Virginia bluebells have emerged, and are showing buds. Thanks for sharing your excitement about your garden, as I do feel the same way. 👩🏼🌾. Your outfit was so fun!
I don't mean to be excessive about posting but would really like to share one more blooming-for-spring. When I walk the pooch over at Stanford University* as a special treat, we see darling yellow tidytips growing wild. In case you don't live here M. Webster says tidytips are... "an annual California composite herb (Layia platyglossa) having yellow-rayed flower heads often tipped with white." * Don't worry pooch gets plenty of walks every. day in the neighborhood as well.
Great video Linda , I'm in Tennessee and Spring is starting to Rock . Tulips are blooming and Mary Jane magnolias are spectacular right now . All your efforts are inspiring !
don't throw your terras away yet, they look so good and you can still do so when you have new supply from your garden but in case you don't have any or not as many you can have those as a backup. ❤️
Linda, I wish all of your out of town followers could see your gardens first hand. It’s beyond beautiful. Sometimes I do a drive by for self indulgence. I truly appreciate you and your tips. Other followers, sometimes I buy things Linda recommends. It’s always be quality items. You can know your won’t be disappointed.
I live in SC. Tulip magnolias bloomed beautifully for over 2 weeks and then we had a hard freeze. Hellebores have been blooming For 2 weeks forsythia longer. Daffodils were beautiful and just about gone.Spiraeas are greening up and blooms will be soon. Redbuds are in full bloom. You are so fortunate to have help in the garden.
Hellebores Dianthus Pansies Daphnes Osmanthus Daffodils Bluebonnets I have a gardner a couple hours a week to distribute compost, plant trees (4 coral bark Japanese maples), and anything else I can't do. I still want to do everything myself, but I'm trying to be realistic. I was happy you had a helper today.
My hellebores (Trader Joe's from last year) started budding first followed by the adorable mini blue and yellow flowers of the Woodland Blend, then the Southern Blend daffodils (both Colorblends) then finally (short?!) tulips.
Question of the day can't answer it because we still have some snow and ice in northern Michigan at the tip of the MIT so jealous to see you out planting can hardly wait we are north of the 45th parallel just barely
Linda, my aunt was a docent at a plantation home in North Carolina. She would take beautiful floral arrangements from her garden to use in one or more rooms of the home. I remember how she lightly spray painted her dried hydrangea blooms with pale pink or pale blue. The arrangements with these painted blooms were so beautiful and looked quite natural.
My hellebores are in bloom. I actually had one start to bloom here in 6b in late January. Next to bloom are the crocuses. So pretty and very exciting. We've had two beautiful days in a row.
Winter jasmine is the very first blooming plant in my garden followed by hellebores, early blooming spirea, Okame cherry trees, tete’ tete’ daffodils and candytuff. Spring…. My favorite season!
I can certainly understand your reluctance to discard those beautiful blooms. I might take the most spectacular one or two from the bunch, put a glass cloche over them and place them in a sweet viewing spot. My first spots of color have come from my Hellebores and the Hyacinths. I even have one small bloom from a Squill bulb, simply gorgeous.
Zone 9B San Francisco Bay Area near Stanford university Starting March 3- apples and plum trees in bloom, magnolias, darling field marigolds , chasmonthi floribunda to delight hummingbirds
Thank you adding where you get your products!!! I was able to purchase your air purifier! I'm so excited, I'm suppose to get it Sunday! I can't keep up with the dust anymore! Maybe this will help!
Early chionodoxia, plus crocus. Can’t tell which bloomed first. I found them at the same time yesterday. Zone 6A, northeast Missouri. Large and small crocus in bloom at almost same time. Hellebores in tight bud due to recent freeze. Several clumps of daffodils will bloom fully tomorrow, I think. Love your Vlog. Saw your Great Grow Along presentation. Very nice! Rather dry here. Could use some rain
Keep the dry hydrangeas, they look lovely in your garden. Because you have a large garden they don’t overtake the space. My garden is small so they would crowd my space. Love your fashion and garden style. 🪴🌹🪴
They’re not quite blooming yet but in the next couple of weeks there will be a gigantic clump of tulips which will bloom. They’re always very early for our area and they have actually perennialized which is extremely uncommon in my area (5b, clay soils). I love them because they’re a joyful harbinger of spring, the only problem is that they’re planted in the middle of the lawn! Somebody before me had a wild idea and I’m too nervous to move them so every year I just mow around the ragged foliage until it completely withers.
As far as blooming, all starting last week: forsythia, plum, daffodil, Pieris, a very small light lavender crocus, Primrose and rosemary. Potted up an Iris reticulata, added gravel mulch, came up sans squirrel interference! Zone 8, PNW.
Spring is in your voice! "Living bocce ball court" - needed laugh. I have never been able to dry a hydrangea. My fav was your hydrangea chandelier! Very clever how you used your trellis egg... That is a nice peace sign, and great shirt!
I live in Zone 4B. No outdoor blooms of any sort here! Can start some indoor seeds soon. Can't put anything out until at least May 15 and sometimes that can be too early. :( Love to see the progress in your garden!!!
Me too. In. zone 5B and garden is still under snow but we are having some warm temperatures this week so I hope that things can start melting and my bulbs can feel some warmth. I usually wait until after the long weekend in May (Canadian holiday) before I put any new growth outside.
In zone 6a CT excited to see the beginnings of sedum growing. Thanks for motivating me to prune arborvites in containers while enjoying a sunny/50 degree day.
Hi Linda, excited to see you kick off your Spring chores because that means I’ll get to enjoy the beauty of your garden soon! Thanks for sharing your garden. I live in zone 11b/12a, so something is always blooming. In my yard the impatiens rebound to their full glory in early March after having cut them down hard the day after Thanksgiving.
Another very promising spring! Keep the dried Hydrangeas indoors until you pick again in autumn,; They are still so pretty and interesting. Having a warm week in the Northeast and just about all the snow cover is gone so I expect to see crocuses soon. Have seen a pansy flower or two.
Your yard is so pretty, all the little flowers popping up ready for spring! Victor did an amazing job for you. No worries about the noise from the clippers and the fur babies barking, just part of the outside and spring happenings. My tulips came up about three weeks ago and my Iris’s are in full bloom. I have several perennial ferns that came back. One in a pot with purple pansies, it’s beautiful right now! Love your outfit, especially the blouse. A side note... it concerns me when you put your hands in the leaves without gloves or anything to protect them. Do you have snakes there? I have thought about it several times and just wanted to ask out of concern... My son has been bitten on the ankle and I am so fearful of them. Thank you as always for a wonderful video, great filming too Stewart!

Daffodils, Hellebores and Crocus - blooming marvellous
Wait to discard the hydrangeas. They're still beautiful. You always look lively dear Linda. Hi Stewart.
For my zone 3 garden in Calgary Alberta Canada, crocuses come out first then the daffodils. Linda you are the best dressed gardener and I am inspired.
Love your walkabout videos and just seeing how your garden transform throughout the year. I'm in San Antonio TX zome 9 and even when we had low 30s and high 40s my yellow daffodils bloomed and now my Texas Mountain Laurel shrubs with their grape like flower clusters has bloomed. Love spring!!!!
Daffodils and fruiting trees! So excited! 💥💃🏽
Love the sound of garden tools in the back ground things looking lovely I have 4 of those egg forms what a great idea even for Indoor greenery displays ..Thank You Sweet girl🌹❣
Starting to look good Linda...welcome to spring.
I really appreciate all your links!!! It is so much better like you say so we can look for stuff!!!! Thank you so much for all your videos and advice!!! You are such a life saver!

Early chionodoxia, plus crocus. Can’t tell which bloomed first. I found them at the same time yesterday. Zone 6A, northeast Missouri. Large and small crocus in bloom at almost same time. Hellebores in tight bud due to recent freeze. Several clumps of daffodils will bloom fully tomorrow, I think. Love your Vlog. Saw your Great Grow Along presentation. Very nice! Rather dry here. Could use some rain
Here in 5b I have crocus blooming, pansies starting back, hellebores in bud, and daffodils very close to bloom! 💛🌱💚🌱💛
My first blooms have been the jonquils and then the hyacinths, sure sign of springs, loving the weather we are now having.
Daffodils, jonquils & redbud
Keep the dry hydrangeas, they look lovely in your garden. Because you have a large garden they don’t overtake the space. My garden is small so they would crowd my space. Love your fashion and garden style. 🪴🌹🪴
They’re not quite blooming yet but in the next couple of weeks there will be a gigantic clump of tulips which will bloom. They’re always very early for our area and they have actually perennialized which is extremely uncommon in my area (5b, clay soils). I love them because they’re a joyful harbinger of spring, the only problem is that they’re planted in the middle of the lawn! Somebody before me had a wild idea and I’m too nervous to move them so every year I just mow around the ragged foliage until it completely withers.
As far as blooming, all starting last week: forsythia, plum, daffodil, Pieris, a very small light lavender crocus, Primrose and rosemary. Potted up an Iris reticulata, added gravel mulch, came up sans squirrel interference! Zone 8, PNW.
My pretty little snowdrops are my first to bloom in zone 5b- everything else just coming up
Spring is in your voice!
"Living bocce ball court" - needed laugh.
I have never been able to dry a hydrangea. My fav was your hydrangea chandelier!
Very clever how you used your trellis egg...
That is a nice peace sign, and great shirt!
I expected your boxwoods to be just stems after being clipped! It looks so good! Victor is an artist!
He is!
Variegated vinca! Blooms and new growth right after the last freeze in southern Texas
Loved everything about your video Linda and I especially do love your outfit, love the colorful top.😃👌
Mexican plum is the first of bloom, NE Texas.
Geraniums bloom in Feb. and my redbud trees also. NO don't throw out the hydrangeas!!!! I will take them all.
Zone 8a here and daffodils bloom first in our garden.
Hepatica is the first thing that blooms in my Metro Atlanta garden.,,or maybe the Edgeworthia if you consider a shrub rather than a perennial.
I live in Zone 4B. No outdoor blooms of any sort here! Can start some indoor seeds soon. Can't put anything out until at least May 15 and sometimes that can be too early. :( Love to see the progress in your garden!!!
Me too. In. zone 5B and garden is still under snow but we are having some warm temperatures this week so I hope that things can start melting and my bulbs can feel some warmth. I usually wait until after the long weekend in May (Canadian holiday) before I put any new growth outside.
In zone 6a CT excited to see the beginnings of sedum growing. Thanks for motivating me to prune arborvites in containers while enjoying a sunny/50 degree day.
I enjoyed the excitement of the noise! Didn't miss a thing!!!
Hi Linda, excited to see you kick off your Spring chores because that means I’ll get to enjoy the beauty of your garden soon! Thanks for sharing your garden. I live in zone 11b/12a, so something is always blooming. In my yard the impatiens rebound to their full glory in early March after having cut them down hard the day after Thanksgiving.
Another very promising spring! Keep the dried Hydrangeas indoors until you pick again in autumn,; They are still so pretty and interesting. Having a warm week in the Northeast and just about all the snow cover is gone so I expect to see crocuses soon. Have seen a pansy flower or two.
Crocuses are blooming here in British Columbia.
Your yard is so pretty, all the little flowers popping up ready for spring! Victor did an amazing job for you. No worries about the noise from the clippers and the fur babies barking, just part of the outside and spring happenings. My tulips came up about three weeks ago and my Iris’s are in full bloom.
I have several perennial ferns that came back. One in a pot with purple pansies, it’s beautiful right now! Love your outfit, especially the blouse. A side note... it concerns me when you put your hands in the leaves without gloves or anything to protect them. Do you have snakes there? I have thought about it several times and just wanted to ask out of concern... My son has been bitten on the ankle and I am so fearful of them.
Thank you as always for a wonderful video, great filming too Stewart!
Not in my urban garden :-). I’ve only seen a couple of tiny garden snakes in the 30 years I’ve lived here. Thank you for your concern!
I have been brushed by hairy caterpillars that STUNG. My daffodils come up first in 8a.
@@LindaVater good to hear no worries about snakes there 😊
Looks fantastic. My tulips are popping up! 🌷
Daffodils are only poking through the ground here in Illinois 5B.
