I know a lot of us that watch Garden Answer also watch Gardening with Creekside. In her video this morning Jenny showed the devastation that they had from storms yesterday. No one was hurt thankfully but they lost a lot. Let’s keep them in our thoughts and prayers!
@@joylieu52, it was heartbreaking and I live in South Carolina and unfortunately our Weather Alerts have been going off since 3:00 am and the radar looks like they are getting more storms! I pray not, the wedding is in 3 weeks 🥲🙏🙏 We are under a Tornado watch for the next 2 hours ❤
I learn so much from you, I LOVE it! I work at a garden center in Southern Ontario, Canada, we had a rep from Felco come in and show us how to dismantle and clean a pair of pruners and I mentioned I’ve watched this on UA-cam..and he said, “it was from Laura wasn’t it”? I said yes it was!😂
Well if course! LOL! I think Felco should run Laura's tutorial video on cleaning Felcos. By watching Laura use her Felcos, it sure made me buy my first pair in 2021. They are the best hand pruners I've ever owned and well worth the money. I only wish I'd known about Felcos sooner.
Good morning from Kentucky. Laura you are such a joy to watch and learn from. I am 71 and just had my first knee replacement three weeks ago. Will have the other knee replacement in the fall. I hope by next spring I will be able to get back to enjoying gardening and planting beautiful plants and flowers. I have watched you on UA-cam since before Benjamin was born. You have a beautiful family and I so enjoy learning from you and your entire family. I would love to see your Dad in another interview. Always fun when Benjamin and Samantha join you in the garden. Love from Kentucky.❤
It was in the days right after my first knee replacement that my sister introduced me to Laura and Garden Answer. It was a great distraction while I was icing and elevating! I’ve been hooked ever since, including during recovery from the second knee replacement.
Sheila hope you have a good recovery !! I had foot surgery last month and I'm so ready to get out with my flower beds !! I think we're all hooked on Garden Answer . Blessings to you and yours .
I enjoy my coffee more watching you working in your garden. You have a beautiful spirit, and I feel like it heals me just a little each time. Thank you.
It's nice to see Benjamin helping out in the garden. My dad was a farmer, and when I was Benjamin's age, he and my mom started teaching me about working in the garden, picking beans and pulling weeds, etc. little jobs that a child could do. I still use those long ago lessons learned at my parents' side.
Laura we get to live our dreams watching you and your family. Thank-you so much for all you do and sharing a part of your life with us. I've been watching your videos since you left your town house and have learn so much. You and your family have blessed so many.
Laura: My Rudbeckia transplants look nothing like your beautiful ones. I learn a lot every year watching you, even with my 86 year old brain. You are a marvel!! Thank you so much.
Hello Laura I've been watching your channel for the last 5 years and I have learned something every time I watch you have a beautiful family and your property is just as beautiful thank you for all that you share with us 🙏💗💗💗
Thank you Benjamin for sharing your knowledge of a strawberry blossom. Laura, I appreciate when you post on the screen a picture of the plant or flower. It is so helpful to match plant’s blooms to your instructions and knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing.😊
Along with EVERYTHING in your videos, I love to “ride along” with you in the gator. It must be so fun for you to drive around & see all the work you've done & beautiful gardens you've created. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! 🌷🪻🌼
Good morning!!! I love strawberries. Here’s a pie recipe I learned as a teenager. Bake a pie shell. Mix strawberries in vanilla pudding place in pie shell top with your favorite whip creme. Mine is cool whip. I worked in a restaurant and the owner made this. My 2 favorites chocolate crème and strawberry creme yum. I love seeing your children in the garden with you always learning new things
Another fun, memory builder day in the garden! Benjamin was so cute showing us the strawberry flower.....he sacrificed a strawberry for us, thank you Benjamin! It's going to be gorgeous! Oh, thanks for the snowdrops lesson, I never saw the seed pods before, learn something new every day! Blessings 💞🙏🏻💞
Was wondering the other day day-you haven't set up the little children's garden for Samantha like the sweet one you had done for Benjamin. The little brown fence was so cute, you could also use the plank ❤❤❤🎉 walkway .
Summer is going to be so glorious in your gardens. I received my kneeling pad this week, thank you. You are right, it’s the best one ever. My 75 year old knees are loving it. have ever used. My 75 year old knees love how soft it is.
My kneeling pad just arrived, too. I am so excited at the size! It is so generous in space. Much better than any others I've seen. I'm looking forward to using it. Love your videos. Benjamin is so cute. I really love it when your kids are in the garden with you. 😺
I think another kitty wants to adopt your family again. They can sense the sweet spirit there. Love when you include your children "helping" you in the garden. Such great character building for them! (and for those of us who watch, too!)
Next time you and your mom go to the antique malls you should pick up the low iron fencing to store in your barn...when the flowers get a little to close to the grass you can pop that at the edge to keep them up and off the paths.
This was so awesome to see little Benjamin helping you deadhead....I think you guys are getting him onboard--- and I like how you all let him take his time, that was precious! Thanks for sharing
Wow. That drift is going to be beautiful with the pink roses. Holy Rudbeckia. That is going to explode. I can't wait to See them all in bloom. It will be stunning. 🌿🌿🪴🪴
I always look forward to starting my day with a cuppa of Earl Grey and Garden Answer......Thank you Laura and Aaron for these wonderful videos that brighten so many fellow gardeners days.
Hey Laura, to reblooming the bulbs I fertilize them after they bloom so that they may set buds for the next year. It did wonders for my lilium blubs and my amaryllis are now producing 2 flower shoots every year. Lots of love. I hope it helps anyone.
So excited, I’ve been watching you for over a year now. I just ordered 30 proven winner perennials and can’t wait to plant. I’ve redug my flower beds last fall. You are such a great teacher and motivator. Thank you.
Everyday the first thing in the morning is get my coffee and watch your videos. I also have learned so much from you. My garden's currently are in bloom. My azaleas are in full bloom and are a joy to see.
You might want to get in touch with Jenny and Jerry at Creekside as they lost their whole shrub lot in a storm yesterday and their land became a huge river sweeping almost everything away. I don't know if there is anything you could do to help them, but the show of support would mean the world to them, I'm sure. Jenny was almost in tears and understandably so. I can't imagine seeing your business float away. Devastating for sure. Just a thought.
I used my Laura Edition Auger to plant my peppers and tomatoes. It saved me a lot of time and I didn't have a backache the next morning. Thank you for offering the auger in your store. It has made a huge difference in my gardening experience.
I loved this video (like all of them), particularly because the music was gentle. Often times when Laura is working, the music is jarring. Please keep it soft! Commenting with gratitude, I love you guys!
I am just so in awe with how you are with a camera. I swear , I feel like I’m right there with you, riding around in the gator. It’s always a tiny bit of a surprise when the show is over and I find myself right back at home knowing I have to go back out and battle with my garden. In a zone 9 B and over this winter y garden exploded- yes over the winter. Tomatoes are about 7 feet tall-what do I keep and what do I toss and replace . My drip irrigation isn’t working and replacing the batteries didn’t help I’ve got sweet potatoes and peas that have volunteered (another long story on those). And I have some African daisies and a pineapple sage that have completely taken over one corner -large corner. And I’m 80 yrs old and have no one to help. Woe is me. Ha. If that’s the worse thing in my life I count myself blessed. I’ll figure it out. Have a good day and thank you for this delightful show.
I pulled up my tulips last year after they finished blooming, stored them in my garage and planted them in the fall and they were AMAZING this spring!! Yulia from Y Garden has a video describing how to do it and I certainly recommend her! She is so knowledgeable and has a wonderful garden.
I did the same, only I kept them in the garage in a milk crate filled with soil over the whole winter and now I've potted some in containers and just cut some for the vase. I had to move them anyway so this way I got to enjoy them this spring in this fashion. I've tried bulbs in pots outside but had no success (probably due to the freeze/thaw cycle in the spring).
@@Ibis333 PLANTING IN CONTAINERS: Take special care with bulbs planted in containers like barrels or pots: Use a container that is at least 24 inches across for best results. Containers need adequate drainage - several holes in the bottom and a layer of pea gravel is helpful. Use fresh soil - not soil that has been used and re-used for several seasons. Water bulbs when planted and keep moist throughout the winter. Cover with a layer of mulch (2 inches) in areas where freezing occurs. Bring inside if weather gets extremely cold, and continue to water while the container is inside. Note: Bulbs planted in containers can freeze much easier than bulbs planted in the ground.
I always want to clean up my daffodils...buuuut I missed a couple of years due to different things. The next spring ..they were the most beautiful things I have ever seen. They came from my grandparents farm which was built before the civil war so they are so very special to me. Keep doing what you are doing because I love seeing all the beauty and advice❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Laura! The English gardeners just take a long branch and whip off the tulip and daffodil heads. That’s how they dead head! Brilliant! Love watching you every morning. You make my day. Thank you very much! ❤
Happy Mother's Day, Laura! Seeing Benjamin helping you in the garden warms my heart. I'm a new mom this year and one of the things I'm most excited about is sharing my love of gardening with my daughter one day.
It seems like yesterday that Benjamin was toddling around and now I can’t believe how tall he has gotten. The look on his face when you told him that the strawberry flower he picked was a potential fruit was priceless. He pick up on your comment so quickly. He’s one very smart young man. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us all. Love what you do and the advice given.♥️🌹♥️
I loved watching your little helper today, Benjamin is getting so tall❤️. 😂😂 Leave the Leafs. Love the pun. Oh and I love my kneeling Pad, so comfortable while I am weeding and planting 🤗
Love watching you, your gardens are beautiful! You have a very cheery personality and the way you explain things you make it simple to understand. You inspire me to get out in the garden and motivate me to try new gardening techniques in my garden. As one of my new projects I am going to try to make your wooden potting tray for my new potting shed! I live in New England, Zone 6 so growing seasons are a little shorter and I can’t wait to get in my garden and get planting. Thanks for all the inspiration!
How lovely to travel w you around the garden on the gator. Thank you for sharing that Laura. It was a ‘quick tour’. Brilliant!! I enjoy your tours no matter how brief or how long.
What a wonderful way to start the day, a menagerie of planting! Question ~~ could you ask the new editor, Taylor, to add pictures of the flowers/bulbs when you're talking about one that isn't currently blooming? It's the only thing I miss about Ken and Aaron's editing. Otherwise, he's doing a fabulous job. Thank you.
Early in the video 6:01 when you’re standing amongst the tulips you can see the deadore cedar over your right shoulder that you recently planted by the berries, and oh my what a beautiful sight! Thanks for motivating me to do my own garden chores - wish I had a Benjamin to help me too. 🌱
Great planting projects! Good to learn about dead heading bulbs. You had some good help there for a while. And a new kitty friend? Belongs to a neighbor maybe? It makes me think, we haven’t seen Cheddar in a while….
You are amazing. So much energy. Does your body hurt at the end of the day? How do you relax? Thank you for all the wonderful videos love watching Benjamin helping out ❤❤❤❤
I got my kneeling pad and I’m so in love with it living in Florida. Your soil is so rocket you have to have something for your knees I’m going to be ordering a couple more. Just keep what your doing God has sent us an amazing family to watch. 💕
I am always impressed by your content, your hard work, your skills, you sweetness… the list could go on and on Laura! God bless you and thank you for all your shared knowledge!!! ♥️👩🌾♥️
Entire video was so enjoyable! I relaxed until the wind started to pick up. That makes me very tense So much dangerous weather this week, people really suffering. Don't want anything happening to " our garden"!
I love your channel, as always. Thanks for all the ideas and great trips you show. I live in upstate New York zone 6a (zone 5b before). I'm bumping up like you slowly. Our local Garden center told me the reason why many tulips don't come back is because we don't fertilize them enough. You just don't fertilize when planting, but when growth comes in spring, you should add some fertilizer. When you cut the stocks off you should add more fertilizer. That way, they will gather not just sun energy but nutrients,. They have been coming back nicely and spreading little by little. Edit: OMG, I got a similar cat that is visiting me.
LAURA, my dad for years dug up our tulip and Iris bulbs. He would put them in paper bags and stick them in the basement and then we would replant them in the fall. He kept the same plants going for probably four or five years then they would start going back to what they were originally before they were hybridized, but he got four or five years out of the same plants and they were beautiful. I hope that works for you.!
Many thanks for your wonderful videos. Since photosynthesis also takes place in green stalks I find it much easier to deadhead my tulips by simply taking off the flower remains and leaving the stalks to add energy to the bulbs.
Yes, you're correct. In the spring, at the end of the season, be sure to top the blooms off of your tulips before they start to fall. Dig your tulip bulbs each year, after the foliage has died down completely.
Thank you Laura, your videos are always so timely. I have a lot of tulips I need to move into my flower garden. I think I’ll put them with my daffodils.
If your first strawberry crop is light, it may be due to frost. Sometimes when you see that dark flower center it means the fruit has frosted. I hope that is not the case and that your garden bears heavily!! If the blossoms drop without making fruit, go ahead and trim off the blooms and give them a water with liquid feed and they should pop up another flush of blooms in a few weeks' time.
I have dug and stored my tulip bulbs every year for the last 3 years with great success. Let them die back, dig them and put them in my basement till fall. Southern Ont.
Good Morning!✂️ A good refresher for me! Your helper came out to help! The weather has been rainy here in my area, so I have started planting & clean up between rain storms! 🙂⛈️☔️🌺🪻💚🌿
I know a lot of us that watch Garden Answer also watch Gardening with Creekside. In her video this morning Jenny showed the devastation that they had from storms yesterday. No one was hurt thankfully but they lost a lot. Let’s keep them in our thoughts and prayers!
I saw that yesterday as well. It broke my heart for them. Definitely in my prayers❤

I just saw it. My heart broke for them.

Benjamin was so cute when he realized that the bloom was gonna be a strawberry.
lol i think he was like “obviously” bc he said “this this a strawberry flower” lmao but you could be right lol
What a sweet way to teach him though, instead of being upset with him, just tell him that’s where the strawberry would come from.
😂 is he so cute💚
Benjamin's reaction to Laura telling him the strawberry flower becomes a strawberry was priceless🤗

Every neighbor benefits from your beautiful arborvitae hedge, specifically by the cut -flower garden. They’re looking so good.

Oh I wish I could still get up and down like Laura! My body hurts so much after a day working in the garden 😢
I can get down it’s the getting back up that’s hard. Love to garden regularly and find new ways to get jobs done. Brings so much Joy. ❤
Hi Laura. It's the first time I sowed some rudbeckia seeds in January and they are now in full bloom. Happy gardening to all from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Hi Trinidad from Canada ❤
Another great morning with Laura.
Snowdrops seed themselves all over my garden. Makes me happy
So excited, I’ve been watching you for over a year now. I just ordered 30 proven winner perennials and can’t wait to plant. I’ve redug my flower beds last fall. You are such a great teacher and motivator. Thank you.
That kitty is a Siamese mix. I have four of those and they are my favorite cats. The boys especially really love their people.
Another very productive garden project performed by the happiest gardener I know! Loved it! Hope that cat finds his/her way back home.!💕

I got my kneeling pad and I’m so in love with it living in Florida. Your soil is so rocket you have to have something for your knees I’m going to be ordering a couple more. Just keep what your doing God has sent us an amazing family to watch. 💕
I am always impressed by your content, your hard work, your skills, you sweetness… the list could go on and on Laura! God bless you and thank you for all your shared knowledge!!! ♥️👩🌾♥️
Entire video was so enjoyable! I relaxed until the wind started to pick up. That makes me very tense
So much dangerous weather this week, people really suffering. Don't want anything happening to " our garden"!
Thrilled you decided to store your tulips!!
New kitty hello lol. Too funny. Garden kitties are great to watch on your channel. Haha
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of all things plants! Learn something from every single video! ❤
You look as comfortable as I feel when using my new GA kneeling pad. Thanks for the great product.
I love your channel, as always. Thanks for all the ideas and great trips you show. I live in upstate New York zone 6a (zone 5b before). I'm bumping up like you slowly. Our local Garden center told me the reason why many tulips don't come back is because we don't fertilize them enough. You just don't fertilize when planting, but when growth comes in spring, you should add some fertilizer. When you cut the stocks off you should add more fertilizer. That way, they will gather not just sun energy but nutrients,. They have been coming back nicely and spreading little by little.
Edit: OMG, I got a similar cat that is visiting me.
LAURA, my dad for years dug up our tulip and Iris bulbs. He would put them in paper bags and stick them in the basement and then we would replant them in the fall. He kept the same plants going for probably four or five years then they would start going back to what they were originally before they were hybridized, but he got four or five years out of the same plants and they were beautiful. I hope that works for you.!
Benjamin is getting so tall!
Many thanks for your wonderful videos. Since photosynthesis also takes place in green stalks I find it much easier to deadhead my tulips by simply taking off the flower remains and leaving the stalks to add energy to the bulbs.
Yes, you're correct. In the spring, at the end of the season, be sure to top the blooms off of your tulips before they start to fall. Dig your tulip bulbs each year, after the foliage has died down completely.
Thank you Laura, your videos are always so timely. I have a lot of tulips I need to move into my flower garden. I think I’ll put them with my daffodils.
If your first strawberry crop is light, it may be due to frost. Sometimes when you see that dark flower center it means the fruit has frosted. I hope that is not the case and that your garden bears heavily!! If the blossoms drop without making fruit, go ahead and trim off the blooms and give them a water with liquid feed and they should pop up another flush of blooms in a few weeks' time.
Loved seeing Benjamin helping you ❤
I’m glad you covered those seeds 😅 I had the same impulse 😆 just in case. 💕
Laura, I have been watching you forever. There is info in this podcast I don't remember seeing before!!!!! Thank you! Very informative for me!
Thanks for the bulb video Laura!
Hope your storm isn't too bad. Fun projects today. I do enjoy starting my day with Garden Answer and Laura. Have a blessed day everyone.
Love planting videos the best~ Thank you LAURA!
Who are you?😂 made me laugh. The cat family keeps growing. 🐈🐈⬛
Same, lol. Brilliant timing
I have dug and stored my tulip bulbs every year for the last 3 years with great success. Let them die back, dig them and put them in my basement till fall. Southern Ont.
I love the education process each video. We learn so much and appreciate your wonderful videos!
Laura, I want to just come hang out with you and talk with you about all things flowers! I love your videos and I watch them every day!!
Good Morning!✂️ A good refresher for me! Your helper came out to help! The weather has been rainy here in my area, so I have started planting & clean up between rain storms! 🙂⛈️☔️🌺🪻💚🌿
Muscari are the best! The fact that they spread themselves around is awesome!
Hello Benjamin
That's a special job you're doing for your mama. I'm sure next year it'll be yours👏😍
