Why is this cleanup video sooooo addictive??? It doesn’t even have flowers or foliage but I watched it 3x to start with. Why? 🤷♀️
My son died last year and I stumbled on your videos during a sleepless night and have been watching ever since. You have reminded me of how much I loved gardening with my grandmother as a child. I now have a guest bedroom half full of succulents, rooting clippings and plants. It makes my brain quiet down so my husband doesn't even mind haha. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Gardening is a great help in relieving stress and bringing ease to your mind.
I'm a new subscriber. I just LOVE you guys! Please don't ever stop!
You will have to catch up watching All of her videos ..
I have caught all up now I can't wait for them And I can always go back and watch them for reference as I am completely addicted to gardening now
Absolutely fabulous Family
I learn something new everyday watching Laura's videos
Girl, you need one of those wood chipper / shredder things. This way you either make some mulch or at least expand the amount of dumpster space.
So helpful!! Thanks for making me feel better about not having my garden cleaned up! I love how Russell shows up - he’s a character.
You have an awesome personality! I have no garden just a few potted plants, but I really enjoy watching your videos.
She's, indeed, very charismatic.
She needs to get her own TV show.
No TV show ..... too many restrictions for content, etc. She is creative and she has no restrictions on CZcams....this will not be the case for TV producers. She will make more money , less stress , total 100% freedom on creativity. She will have her own schedule that she manages with freedom to raise her kids and better balanced family life. That is Nirvana ! CZcams personalities could bring in income over $500 K over time.
@@berniecelee5062 CZcams doesn't pay that much. You need at least 1,5 million views per month to make decent money from ads and, of course, plenty of sponsorships, of which gardening doesn't have many.
Laura is very charismatic and very passionate about gardening and she could try TV out. Not only would she make more money but she could also get a bigger audience, so when her TV career is over, she can still resume CZcams and make more money than she currently does.
FP HOME don’t sell yourself short. You have a garden. Just a small, potted one 😉
I couldn’t agree more though. Very few of us would have the time or resources to do what she does... but she makes it so entertaining to watch that I find myself fully enthralled watching her care for plants that I can’t even grow in my zone 😂
Russell doing a “catwalk” along the stones lining the flowerbed 😻
Kathryn Elkin LoL. I noticed that too. He did that in another video. Cute!
I never realized where that name 'cat walk' came from until now. Russell was really strutting his stuff and made me laugh to see him not step into the soft grass. LOL
L♡VE Russell
😻🐈😻
🍂🍁🍂
His personal garden path
I wait for your video every morning. It’s how I start my day now. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and 🧚🏻♀️🌷🌱❤️wonderful ideas
Love the way Russell was walking precisely on the edging in the latter part of the video! Definitely a “well-trained” kitty! 😂🐱Thanks for the cleanup video. I’m always curious how you do things this time of year! 💚🌿
Snow came earlier here on the Canadian prairies than I expected and I didn't get my hostas or peonies cut back... I hope they will survive the long winter with no rot or damage come spring time... fingers crossed.
That looked a totally satisfying job....it may sound mad but I love cleaning up!😊 The difference between the before and after gives me such a sense of peace. (I must get a life one day...lol)
Gardening is such a great form of therapy. Getting rid of the old, spent items and discovering new growth in the spring is such a joy.🥀🌱
Russell loves to be with you! I love furbabies🐾🐾 I have usually waited until Spring, but now I am with you and do some now. Still looks beautiful and tidy.
I love it when you put the name of the plant on the screen. Have a blessed day!
Feels so good to get it done, doesn't it? I'm so excited to see what you do in that part of the yard. Please show it all, beginning to end, including planning. It really helps to hear your thought process and learn why you made the choices you made. Give Russell a squeeze from me. He's so handsome, doing his catwalk. ~ Lisa
woohoo Clean up videos are my top favorite videos. Am I the only one grooving to the retro music at the beginning?💃💃💃💃
it would be interesting if you shared the whole process of transforming the back garden, from the inspiration and design plans to the actual execution, it could be multi part series
I know you also want to surprise us, and it also may not turn exactly like you imagined, but that`s the part I`m also really interested in
Also I would like reaction video of your first garden tour, some idea for winter content :)
Tatiana Selicka
Thay could upload the videos of the process after the grand reveal ? That way there is still the surprise and the whole process. And when they explain rhings we can picture perfectly what they mean. 🤗
I love seeing Russell in your videos, he has such great timing and seems to fit in so well like he was trained to do what he does. I like to trim back everything in my yard, like the rose bushes and all of my perennials, they just seem to do better and then I don't have to trim them in the spring, and the new growth has room to grow. I love these videos, I always learn something new to either try or think about trying. Thank you again Laura.
Love the look after cleanup and the added catwalk 😀
I prefer the rich color of black mulch in my garden, its gives me a cleaner tidy look. Love your videos.
I do, too, but we’re trying to move away from dyed mulch...this new mulch definitely looks more reddish in video, but it’s a solid brown In person. Trying to get used to it! 😬☺️
I’m glad russel and cheddar doesn’t poop in your garden bed, my neighborhood stray cats likes to do it in my flower garden which is always my dilemma, so I covered my beds with nets which is a pain😩
wow, that was quite the freeze!!! doesn't it feel good to get things cleaned up? and i'm the same way: ok, i'll do an area a day and things will always be shipshape!! HA! then the life fairy comes in and says, oh yeah??? watch this!! 😂😂😂 ah, well... we are never ever bored! i'm excited to see what's on y'all's drawing board for that area this next year!!!! anticipation!!! excitement!!
Life fairy......Ha! There’s that famous saying: tell God your plans for the day, it’ll make Her laugh.
I am really enjoying the technical quality of your video. Listened to it with headphones and thought....the music is starting under Laura talking. Just like a movie score ! Awesome.
Thanks for this video. I bought several Blace Lace Elderberries after seeing you use them. I love their dark leaves and how delicate they look.
I agree about removing the fence. I noticed in a previous video when you stood a ways off to show it, that it makes the area more inclusive to not have the fence. I can't wait to see what you'll do in that area.
You right look much better I do like your energy you realy can go 🤩 its cold outside but when you begin to move Oh iam getting it warm😂😂 thank for sharing God bless you guys nice people👍♥️🍂🍂
Good job done! Thank you for the great tips on trimming back plants & bushes! Love your videos, as I have mentioned before I have changed the way I garden since I started watching your videos!! 😊👍🍁🍂🌞✂️🌿☃️❄
Laura, I would love to see how the pink gomphrena wreath would look with some of the pink berries from the Proud Berry Coralberry added. By the way, no one does Fall or Spring cleanup exactly the way it's supposed to be done! I think the only right way is how much time and energy we have to do it! I just love your little garden supervisor Russel, he's so cute.
Thanks for the tip. I still need to clean up my hosta and peonies... I've got a black lace elderberry too and it gets huge every year as well. I trimmed off a few really long branches already but will do more a little later this winter. I don't cut it back quite as much as you do though. You sound like me "while I'm back here I'll just do this too..." :D
Laura you always do a great job!
I LOVE cleaning everything in the fall granted my garden is alot smaller than yours but it gives me peace through the winter that's it's all done. Another wonderful video!!!
I try to leave as much as I can for shelter for invertebrates (insects etc.) but I do as much as I can before spring really explodes. In zone 7 it's often possible to work in the garden 10 to 11 months out of the year. Love your videos and you don't need to apologize about how you manage YOUR garden!
LOVE this video for the information that you give out as a 'side dish'. Little bits that help me so much.
Yes coffee with Laura and some cleanup which is good to get done!
So, how can we know what is safe to cut back now and what not to touch because it could cause winter damage?
I didn't get around to fall cleanup and I was about to recently and had noticed that the seed buds on my zinnias were being eaten probably by birds or squirrels so I just left everything more fall cleanup yes but at least I know they are providing food for the hungry critters. So more fall cleanup it is for me.
Looking wonderful. Tfs.
Clean up is good, healthy & of course part of FAITH. Job well done.
I love your videos, very motivating. I'm in zone 5 also but much colder than normal temps this year. I'm going to bundle up & pick an area to clean since the sun is out today. If I pick a section like you did and work on that today it doesn't seem so overwhelming. I just love when Russell appears in the videos. He is so cute.
Im hoping to get a few more days for cleanup & mulching. We are in a cold snap for a few days. But my hostas look so bad. Yr garden looks so tidy.Inspires me.👍💥😳
Girl, you ARE on top of everything!! More than most people, for sure!! It looks great!!
Thank you for having us along the clean up. I actually LOVE the dried hydrangeas!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Love fall clean ups! I always have a loper ready, nothing more satisfying than see a clean garden. Laura, thank you for all you hard work and love of gardening, enjoy your videos💕
I too like the cut back neat look...so much more work in the spring when plants are limp and soggy..can’t wait for next spring in your garden!!!
Everytime I see elderberries, I have to say it in the accent of the French guard from The Holy Grail.
yes! me too! that was the first thought I had when I saw the title.
@@okhal haha glad I'm not the only one!
I love your videos, they are very informative. My question is would you be able to create a cheat sheet of the bushes/perennials you cut back in the fall and which ones you do in the spring?
So excited to see what you have planned for that area.
How nice to know how to prune all those plants. And clean it up so nice to prepare it for winter.
We have wet fall and wet springs out here in New York. Fall cleaning prevents a mushy, post-winter clean-up where things may have rotted from being smothered by their own mushy foliage
The right way it the way that works best for and your garden. Knowledge and research just helps find that one right way for your own space.
Oooh! I can’t wait to see what you’re planning for the grassy area. I hope it’s a cut-flower garden. ❤️❤️ I would love to see how to start and maintain a cut flower garden for flower arrangements.
Here in zone 4/5 Canada, butterfly bushes are far too tender for our harsh winters coupled with freezing rain. They will perish sooner if not later, yet keep right on selling.
Great tips on black lace elderberry!
Cool great to see your son on this one out and enjoying the day
We had our first snow yesterday. About 2 weeks early. Love clean up videos.
I know this isn't the popular thing to say but you are missing out on providing mainly food for the birds such as waxwings, cardinals, chickadees, robins, goldfinches, & more - many die in winter due to lack of food , especially if they have been relying on your flower beds throughout the growing season for seeds, insects, and nectar. By leaving sedums (asters), coneflowers, rosehips, etc. I have found in late winter / early spring when all their food is gone they go to town on that stuff and I also get a convention of robins' that is stunning!
Did some yesterday feels so good 😊
I agree about getting clean up done in fall. I cut all of my herbaceous perennials to the ground and prune as many of my flowering shrubs as I can get away with.
Whenever I think of elderberries I think of Arsenic and Old Lace.. If you haven’t watched it, you should. ♥️
Winter.....”but then I kinda love it too. A good excuse not to be working “ that’s exactly why I love winter too plus it’s a nice change from the other seasons.
Great video I never knew to not cut back buddleia or caryopteris. Customers come back so often having lost them that must be the reason. That and maybe wet feet as we are along the water.
Hi! Laura... here too... frozen to crunchi... I did today what you did.... me too love better in autumn.... ;-)
Thank you so much for the fall cleanup video! I’m glad you showed the roses, but what do you do to protect them through the winter?
Please do a rose fall care video.
I love your videos, so much inspiration I have a big yard and never thought about planting anything 🤔 finding your channel has given me so much great ideas. Can’t wait for Spring so I can start planting a bunch of beautiful plants!! I also have a question when is it a good time to prune back trees?
Love your personality
Thanks for giving me motivation to tidy up my beds, also I excited to see what you do with that area. Can't wait!!
Could you do a video on how to wrap up a hydrangea to protect in the winter. We have 4 that have winter die back every year. Even with a mild winter. Only one has had a bloom on it. We have also had a hard frost already and I may be to late to protect them but I would like to try. The blooms a gorgeous pale blue and I would love to see them again. Do not know the variety.
Thanks for this reassuring video, I was worried about my very crispy hydrangeas. We have had more unseasonably cold weather up here in Minnesota also. Put in 2 beauty berries 1 is crispy and the other was still ok yesterday. Current temp is 16 so will check it when it gets light out.
I completely agree. I also have a large piece of property and there is no way we can leave everything until Spring.
🍂 Looking good! I have those loppers and I love them. Best ones I’ve ever had and I’ve had several different kinds. 🐾🐱
Hi Russell 🐱
Hi Laura, love watching your videos wish I have your energy. 💚🌱
8:24 the real cat walk!
Wish we could swap about 50% of each others weather, Laura. We have a little snow on the ground and everything's damp outside here in Michigan!
Good Job. I cleaned out all my gardens this year too. No mess in the spring to clean up. Only a few plants for winter interest.
Good morning! 💚🌳🌱🌿🍃
You have so much energy!! Do you have lighting throughout your gardens?! And do you have a video uploaded walking us through it?! Winter daylight savings is awful 😢
Any updates on how the pendula weeping white spruce looks that you planted a couple years ago?
Thanks for your videos. Not to be creepy but your eyes look so amazing blue in this video. Gorgeous!!
Beautiful morning in Oregon!!! It's been beautiful here in VA. Love seeing your videos! Love to you and your family! 💕
Yay! I love fall garden cleanup videos! Very cathartic to watch as well as motivating! Thank you! Could you please show us how you winterize your climbing roses near the chicken coop? I have the same type of rose in my zone 5 garden and I would love to see how you do it. Thanks again!
this is my second knee injury in 10 years where I had surgery in October. all the bits and bobs that didn't get cleaned out before sat under the snow until spring (May around here) and didn't suffer too much.
I love when Russell makes an appearance in your videos lol
I love your videos. I’ve never gardened before and you are teaching me so much. I’m curious why you left the frozen hydrangeas and didn’t clean them up or cut them back. Frankly, I’m nervous about cutting back any of my plants. Sometimes my lack of knowledge is paralyzing.
Oh I totally feel you on that paralysis - BTDT!!! But you're learning, so just keep soaking up information and you'll start feeling more confident. These videos are among the best I've found anywhere so you're in a great place!! As for the hydrangeas, leaving them up adds some winter interest. They can look really pretty once everything else is covered in snow!
I wish i was still doing fall clean up but no I look out my window and see snow
I hear that! #zone3 #Winnipeg
How much do you have@@claudiasmith9117
Maybe an inch of snow. You can still see the grass a bit. But the 'fall cleanup' season is long gone.
What about you Linda?
@@claudiasmith9117 Oh a little bit more that that maybe 4 inches but its been really really cold -17 at night
We are winter now...your eyes is beautiful blue..
We got snow here yesterday . Can't do much now.I guess winter is here from the North Peninsula Canada.
You are so funny. You just couldn't stop yourself.
Hi, you really love and know your stuff but the crunchy is part of the process, love you dearly
For the look back at the week I’d love to see the houseplants you keep and how you treat them
Hi Laura enjoyed your video today off you tidying your garden up for winter .l was in my garden today doing the same thing .and the gardens do look a lot better after a good tidy up .l also can't wait to see what you are planing to do in the area were your tree came down and broke you fence
It was 31 here today and froze my fingers trying to drill holes for bulbs. Wish we had your weather. Davenport, Iowa
Yes much tidier 😊
Hi Laura.. I was waiting for a video..im happy now😃
The mulch maven at work
I have many David Austin rose bushes. I was told not to cut them back until spring. I would love to cut them back now because they are so unsightly (crunchy). I live in Boise which is your same zone. 😉
You need a chipper! Lots of those pruning would make great mulch!
Heh. I said the same thing! But a chipper / shredder so she gets really fine mulch out of it.
Hey Laura! I’ve always wondered what you do with the garden debris that you accumulate. I’ve seen what happens with your excess soil, but what do you do with all the branches and things that you prune and cut down? Thanks!
lynval walters I was wondering the same thing. That was the reason I was reading the comments.
I was wondering the same thing. That is why I was reading the comments.
Yeah it’s always been really interesting to me
I scrolled through the comments for this exact same question. Would love to know the answer, because Fall and even Spring clean up can produce so many large branches and things to dispose of. Maybe a small chipper is needed to chop everything up to add to a compost pile?
We had one of those devastating freezes earlier in October. It destroyed everything so I have also been cleaning up certain things here and there. I was actually enjoying your fall colour through these videos since ours was virtually non existent. But you are 100% correct about cleaning up some things in the fall. It does help with spring clean up. I tend to leave anything that has seed heads for the birds and grasses, if they haven't been smooshed, for winter interest and habitat, and finally I leave those plants that benefit from that extra protection during the winter! 🤗🤗🤗 Thanks for all your great videos.
Oooops....beautiful "evening" in Oregon!!! 😁
I cut back my butterfly Bush in autumn. O_O
Now I have to hope that it makes it through the winter
I like to take it in the spring😁
I love the elderberry flowers, foliage, too, of course, but the flowers are very pretty and different from many others blooming. One day, I would like to try to make elderflower syrup/cordial. I have only tasted the Trader Joe's elderflower lemonade and it is very good, especially for canned, but I know UK and European gardeners make a lot of tasty things from elderflowers, including elderflower champagne. :) BTW, making elderflower cordial would be an excellent video for you to make because I don't think it is well know here in the USA, but, thanks to highly ornamental new varieties, it is becoming more widely grown here. I know I wouldn't be aware of all the tasty things you can make from it if I didn't watch so many British/UK gardening shows and videos.
So... I’ve been watching all your videos about cleanup meanwhile looking outside In my area. The leaves were falling somewhat here but barely. Then boom, all the leaves fell and it snowed. It is awful. Trying to clean up the yard with snow. I don’t understand what is happening... the weather was far to warm (still in the 60) with no change of leaves.
Here in NJ, we kind of get the same thing. One, really cold November day + a rain storm with wind and *BOOM* ! All the leaves are gone.
