Hearing the outside noise and peaceful work made me feel almost like I was outside enjoying the weather. We are still under snow, it will be awhile before I can go outside and do yard work. Great vid.
I agree and will reiterate what so many others have said. This was calming and so satisfying to watch while puttering in my craft room. Garden clean up is soul soothing. I loved the peaceful sound of the wind and did not mind hearing the heavy equip backing up at all. Thanks for posting 🙂🥰
Another thing that I LOVE about these episodes is the time to actually look around and study the different areas of your landscape and gardens. When you go actual time like this, it's easier to take in the detailed process. Thank you for realizing we needed this!! 💖
Hi Laura and Aaron. Thank you so much for this type of video. I learn so much watching a full length project in real time - usually answers a few questions I might have when watching the original sped up video. Enjoy all of your videos!
I loved this. I watched a little of the first video to get the low down on pruning and then switched to this video. So peaceful and therapeutic❤️❤️Can’t wait to get into my garden. Still frozen ground where I live😭 New Brunswick, Canada 🇨🇦
I have been hit by the Hydrangea bug. I had 11 last year and now I have 39. Just planted my latest 2 this morning. You have taught me a lot about care and pruning so thank you.
I can't wait until I can get out and start trimming up my hydrangeas. Watching Laura do some garden maintenance makes me feel better and love the sound of those pruners doing their magic. You know that when you see Laura that Russell isn't far behind. OMG, look at all those tulips pushing through can't wait to see them in bloom.
I read a lot of the comments on here about this video and I will agree it was very calming and satisfying in one aspect. But as a new gardener I would have really appreciated an explanation as to how and where to prune/trim back the hydrangea bushes. Please help a very new gardener out and tell us how and where to prune because I too love hydrangeas and want to grow them. Thank you.
I loved the peacefulness of this video too. It made me feel like I was outside too. I’m not sure I could work so quietly. I’m sure that I talk to myself, sigh, or say “ow” when I poke myself with a branch. Lol.
I was spring cleaning my kitchen and really appreciated working with you Laura! Lol! I can’t get pansies until April 3rd so I’m kinda at a standstill so we are conquering the inside of the house, love this real time! Flower fever💐
I do agree it was peaceful and pleasant I didn't mean to insinuate that it wasn't but I sit around the house all day in the quiet so I enjoy your little noises
Hi Laura and Aaron, I enjoyed watching and listening to this video. I always, always enjoy Laura’s narratives and wouldn’t want a steady diet of quiet, however I do like the occasional video to be sans music. The sounds the breeze makes and the rustling of branches being clipped, backup beeps, equipment...it’s all good. Laura, your hydrangeas will flourish and be beautiful, thanks to the care you’ve given them.
I would love to see how your hydrangeas are doing now which is 3 months later than this video. Well almost. My hydrangeas this year are so loaded with blooms I've never had so many on them. I'm in Massachusetts and the weather has been cool but my hydrangeas must love it
Ok, so this video was so helpful because thanks to you I bought new varieties of hydrangeas this past summer including the invincible ruby. However, I didn’t see you doing any pruning on those. Are they supposed to stay how they are? Please help by showing how do you take care of that variety. Thanks so much, loveeee your videos 😍
From Google: Prune Invincibelle Ruby Hydrangeas in early spring, by trimming ⅓ of the total length of the branches. Never cut down to the ground. By pruning, you encourage more growth, help the stems become stronger, and help the shrub produce more flowers the coming year. Also, Proven Winners web page offers great advice on Hydrangeas.
Hi thanks you for this informative video. Hydrangeas are on my list this year, it Will be à first. Doesn't blooming on old wood mean that if I cut it like you did, the blooms would be cover by leaves ? I don't really get this concept... You already explain but... 😵
Some hydrangeas bloom on old wood, meaning the buds that produced the flowers are already there on last year's growth. If you cut those buds off then no flowers likely just leaves. Some hydrangeas bloom on new wood/ new growth, so if you cut them to size control etc. They will still bloom. Go to garden answer channel (this one is just for highlights) , in today's video she explains ... Be careful to know which one you are buying so that you know how to prune. Good luck!
So peaceful; just realized how awkward i would feel to have people watching me work like this! 😬 Did it take you awhile to be comfortable or have you always been comfortable with an audience? So happy that you post these videos!
your property is just so peaceful, and the machine noise is exciting!! i think i envy your knees (mine are old knees, ha).. and you're so good at always facing toward the camera.. i fear you would see a lot of 'back end' shots of me as i worked around those plants... those tulips!!! spring is going to be amazing in your gardens!!
Were you also pruning branches that criss crossed? Also, it might just be the angle, but did you prune the standard back harder than the hydrangeas in the ground? Loved this video!! Thank you!
I popped over because I am a novice gardener... ok CLUELESS. It would be helpful to see this zoomed in. Were you cutting above the new bloom growth on the first ones?
She was cutting above a set of buds, which is what you always do when pruning anything, never cut below buds because that just leaves a dead stem that can’t grow from where you cut, down to the previous set of buds, so always above a bud, about 1/2 and inch above
Once I was told cut back to the ground in the fall. I did and next year no blooms, good growth and leafs. The following year I only had a few blooms? This winter I dead headed and left all sticks/branches just sticking up all winter. Now do i just leave alone or cut back like you did? My hubby said even with this try I have a brown thumb🥺
I want to trim mine so bad, but I know it's not the right time of year! They just look so scraggly right now! Going to mulch them with some pine needles and maybe they won't look so sad!
I have a longish step and we get a lot of snow. When we shovel the step the snow piles up where I would love to plant lime lights. Do you think they can withstand having the heavy weight on them?
Laura you do such a great job of pruning. I want to know what do you put for bricks and edge along your driveway? It is hard to see in the video that you show but looks like something that has holes along bricks and grass.
Laura does your brown drip tubing every get clogged due to mulch being on top? If they do what do you do? Also you have hard water how do you keep drip tubing from getting clogged. I’m in AZ desert SE and our water is hard, hard, hard?
Help! I have the big leaf hydrangea and would like to cut some blooms that are spent and some to bring in for a vase but will I be jeopardizing next year’s blooms?
Were you just cutting off the old flowers or was there more you were trimming. I am new to this and don't know a thing about pruning or trimming. Thank you
Just wondering if dwarf hydrangeas like Bobo need to be pruned? You did a video where you planted some at your parents, are those pruned? Also, is little lime pruned the same way as limelight? Love all your videos and appreciate all the work you and Aaron put into them!
Dwarf hydrangeas are usually bushy and well-shaped, and don't require regular pruning, but you might want to give a plant a trim to improve its appearance or remove damaged branches.
Aim to cut 1/3 of the branches and try to form a nice rounded dome shape, once you start it it’s pretty much common sense, it won’t make a whole lot of difference if some stems are longer than others
What would be a good all-purpose fertilizer to use if you have one or two hydrangeas, several spirea, some perennials, a few azaleas, and a couple of shrub roses, and don’t want to by 5 different kinds of fertilizer?
Unfortunately, they are different types of plants and require different NPK. The best you can do if you want to be economical is to buy a fertilizer for plants that like acidic soil and another for non-acidic. She is obviously using a rose fertilizer since it is for acidic soil.
How do you make hydrangeas bloom? I can't get it to bloom. I didn't cut it back added fertilizer nothing. It only gets half day sun. Many leaves though and grows big.
Love your videos, so helpful, may I ask where you are located? I am from Boston and wanted to know where you are so I can get an idea if what you are planting/doing will work in my area. Thank you for your reply.
That was interesting but I missed hearing your voice That's what's so soothing to me and exhilarating at the same time have Chris or Aaron check out medwyn Goodall fantastic music for background be awesome Love you girl
Found in Google: Be sure to dig up as much of the hydrangea root ball as possible. Spring and fall are fine for planting hydrangea bushes; most sources I found recommend waiting for cooler weather andtransplanting the bushes in late fall or very early spring while the plants are dormant but the soil is workable.
How do you know when it is the appropriate time to trim and fertilize? Is it just the same time every year or does it vary on growing zones and weather like higher temperatures and or rain? Also, side note I’ve seen you watch Harry Potter in a Christmas video a while back, Which house are you in? 🤓🤓
Loved just the quit snipping & everyday background noise--no music distraction. Thank you!
Hearing the outside noise and peaceful work made me feel almost like I was outside enjoying the weather. We are still under snow, it will be awhile before I can go outside and do yard work. Great vid.
I agree and will reiterate what so many others have said. This was calming and so satisfying to watch while puttering in my craft room. Garden clean up is soul soothing. I loved the peaceful sound of the wind and did not mind hearing the heavy equip backing up at all. Thanks for posting 🙂🥰
Still one of my favorite videos. Inspirational. The sound of Felco pruners this time of year is therapeutic. Thank you, Laura!
Another thing that I LOVE about these episodes is the time to actually look around and study the different areas of your landscape and gardens. When you go actual time like this, it's easier to take in the detailed process. Thank you for realizing we needed this!! 💖
This video brought calm to my day which is rare these days. Thank you! 🌷

I never get tired of watching this video!!!👍🏾🥰

Here is where we see just how much hard work goes into this particular video. Thank you.
Thank you for the calm you put in my day , I can dream of better days ahead . Stay safe 👍

Such a peaceful moment in the world at present. Thank you for sharing guys, the perfect start to my day ♥
Thank you Laura for sharing with us on how to prune limelight’s hydrangeas .😘🌷I can’t wait to see when they are in full bloom 😍
Loved that, was so peaceful.
Something to be said about living rurally in such peaceful surroundings
I loved the peacefulness of this video too. It made me feel like I was outside too. I’m not sure I could work so quietly. I’m sure that I talk to myself, sigh, or say “ow” when I poke myself with a branch. Lol.
So peaceful watching you prune. Thanks for the real time vids!

I'm trying to peek in the background of every shot for a glimpse at the machines working the new land! lol!
Just love watching her take care of her plants its relaxing

Love watching how to
Prune all different kinds of hydrangeas
Now I know I can go out and trim. Thanks Laura.
Russel finds is way into EVERYTHING you film! So cute!
Super helpful. Gives me confidence to do it!

Better than any Spotify playlist!

I think if old wood you have to trim in same year & if new wood you have up to spring to trim.. I think🥴
So peaceful; just realized how awkward i would feel to have people watching me work like this! 😬 Did it take you awhile to be comfortable or have you always been comfortable with an audience? So happy that you post these videos!
awesome video! I am planning to add hydrangeas in my garden, it will be very helpful
So curious what is going on with the machines over there! Loved the peaceful video but I enjoy when you speak! 🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜
Yes. Nature, natural, gardening sounds. No music - we all like gardening, but specific music .....well, I just mute the 70s music any more. Lol.
your property is just so peaceful, and the machine noise is exciting!! i think i envy your knees (mine are old knees, ha).. and you're so good at always facing toward the camera.. i fear you would see a lot of 'back end' shots of me as i worked around those plants... those tulips!!! spring is going to be amazing in your gardens!!
Awesome to see you. Be well.
Were you also pruning branches that criss crossed? Also, it might just be the angle, but did you prune the standard back harder than the hydrangeas in the ground? Loved this video!! Thank you!

Watch the video from today on the regular Garden Answer channel...she shows close ups of where to make the cuts. Good luck and Happy gardening!
Once I was told cut back to the ground in the fall. I did and next year no blooms, good growth and leafs. The following year I only had a few blooms? This winter I dead headed and left all sticks/branches just sticking up all winter. Now do i just leave alone or cut back like you did? My hubby said even with this try I have a brown thumb🥺
woot! lol first comment. This was nice and peaceful to watch. I'm liking this style you are putting in for the videos.
So relaxing to watch 🌸
This helps so much. Thanks for putting this out too!
I really enjoy this style of video.
I want to trim mine so bad, but I know it's not the right time of year! They just look so scraggly right now! Going to mulch them with some pine needles and maybe they won't look so sad!
Thanks for this video. I have both kinds, it’s confusing. But I do love the blooms.
Very relaxing❤
So cozy ........kind greetings from Denmark.
I have a longish step and we get a lot of snow. When we shovel the step the snow piles up where I would love to plant lime lights. Do you think they can withstand having the heavy weight on them?
Zone 5. Illinois. I have a red tuff stuff hydrangea and I know it blooms on old and new wood. Should I even prune it or just let it do it’s thing??
Why use rose tone for the hydrangeas? What does it do to them? And can you layer different fertilizers to the plant
Laura you do such a great job of pruning. I want to know what do you put for bricks and edge along your driveway? It is hard to see in the video that you show but looks like something that has holes along bricks and grass.
would love to hear your thoughts on what you were doing. What were deciding and why. thin suckers or at a growth knob?
So you leave them over the winter prune in the spring? Is this the normal for all zones?
Loooooove hydrangea videos!!!😘😘😘😘
mine just have done today as well
What was driving your decisions about where to cut? Thank you!
Laura does your brown drip tubing every get clogged due to mulch being on top? If they do what do you do? Also you have hard water how do you keep drip tubing from getting clogged. I’m in AZ desert SE and our water is hard, hard, hard?
Help! I have the big leaf hydrangea and would like to cut some blooms that are spent and some to bring in for a vase but will I be jeopardizing next year’s blooms?
Nice video 👍😍
This was so relaxing to watch😍
Were you just cutting off the old flowers or was there more you were trimming. I am new to this and don't know a thing about pruning or trimming. Thank you
Love. It seemed to me you cut Shorter the branches on the standard tree hydrangeas is this correct?
Would this be an ok time to move a hydrangea ? It gets to much afternoon sun in the current location
Can you leave a tree form hydrangea in a pot outdoors in zone 7 for winter?
Love hydrangeas

Do you save any of the dried blooms?

She is in Ontario, Oregon. Zone 5
Maria Folch thank you 😊
Hi Laura!! :)
Do you ever wear sunglasses while you’re gardening?
That was interesting but I missed hearing your voice That's what's so soothing to me and exhilarating at the same time have Chris or Aaron check out medwyn Goodall fantastic music for background be awesome Love you girl
With my OCD it would've taken me 30 minutes to do one hydrangea 😆
Laura can i transplant hydrangeas in the spring?
Found in Google:
Be sure to dig up as much of the hydrangea root ball as possible. Spring and fall are fine for planting hydrangea bushes; most sources I found recommend waiting for cooler weather andtransplanting the bushes in late fall or very early spring while the plants are dormant but the soil is workable.
Laura, don't you talk to your plants while you're working with them?
잘보고 갑니다
좋아요 👍👍👍
I hear construction in the background. Sounds like music to me.
