Cutting Back Hollyhocks and Pruning Our Crabapple! ✂️🌿💚// Garden Answer 

I love how Russell follows you around as you work.❤️🐈

Call me what you want but out of all the stuff on RU-vid, I wanna watch you two clean your yard! It gives me the motivation to get stuff done in mine! I get up early, have coffee, watch garden answer clean (and look for the maintenance videos!) and then I get out in yard. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening with us! It is very interesting and inspirational!

Keep adding Aaron in your videos, we all love seeing him!

Good morning Laura, My grandmother puts a golf ball in the area she wants her chickens to lay and it works for her every year. Might be something you can try before the other girls start laying

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the 80s vibe Aaron has had going on with the videos’ backing tracks lately?!

I feel bad cause I know you get less done when filming but I truly love this kind of video!

Love the whole video but the part where you're getting supplies together and can't find the pruners had me laughing, especially when they weren't in drawer for them! 😂 That's exactly what I do more times than not! Even worse for me, it happens while I'm using them. Talking to myself in the yard, where did I put them, I just had them over there?!?! Thanks as always for sharing your beautiful yard and how you do everything so the rest of us can benefit from your knowledge and experience! My plants thank you also, they are much happier and healthier this year! ❤️☺️🌻🌱

I’m amazed how Russell had the sense not to step on the plant but jumped skipped to not trample on the plant. He got his smarts from you, Laura 👌❤️👍!

I love it that Laura gets right in there, jumping on the tree branches to make more room😊. It was nice to see Aaron out there helping Laura. If I remember correctly he is not much into gardening, it’s still nice to see him once in awhile.

I just need to share that brother and his wife just moved from Sacramento back to Puerto Rico. Anyway, he had to drive to Florida in order to get his belongings on a ship to get back to PR and so he drove, across the country, with a tiny rooster who wouldn’t leave his side, a chicken that wasn’t the smartest of the bunch and the first chicken he had ever gotten with her newly hatched babies, all so he could leave them with our older brother who lives in a rural part of Florida. (He did find a home for the majority of his roost before moving) I mean, literally drove across the country with two dogs, two chickens, a rooster and like 8 or more chicks. 😂 I just about die every time I think about it.

This video was wonderful. So fun to see the chickens but also fun when you mix a lot of things together like this :)

I know you won't like this if you see it but I miss so bad seeing your garden like this. I loved the cozy feel.

"I'm totally avoiding work...can't you tell" .....well, that made for an awesome video. Keep growing! 🌱

Mini garden tour to boot. Looks great. I learn every time I watch.

Just a little side: if you decided to cut back the gomphrena- it makes a WONDERFUL dried flower and its a "cut and come again" so you could trim it back, hang the cut blooms to dry and still get a nice second flush of blooms while allowing that part of the lawn to be watered. Win-win-win!

What do you do with all the clippings and garden waste? I would love to see if and how you compost and what not. I really find these clean up/pruning videos really helpful, thanks!

Thank you Laura and Aaron y did enjoyed very much love the petunias also they look gorgeous..the chicken also Russel thank you ...have a great weekend 🌿🌾😸🤠👌

"I spy something orange and soft" 😍😍

Good morning you guys 🤗 FYI check out Amanda from PLANTERINA ....she sung a thank you song for LAURA..it’s so funny and cute ! that was a thanks for the shout outs! Great video by the way!

🤣 Stinky ♥️ Thanks for taking us along! Love hearing your thoughts on problems.

Thank you so much for this video! I planted hollyhocks and was trying to figure out what to do with them now! This came at the perfect time!

Wow..that made a huge difference...well..NEXT YEAR .Lord willing...I am planting HOLLY HOCKS!!!😍

I can just hear some gardeners going "ALL THESE SEEDS...going to waste!!! 😫".... I'd love to have some!!! ❤

My heart just broke for all the beautiful Hollyhocks seeds 💔

My grandma had Hollyhocks in her garden! Good memories!

Wo that transition between fridge door and barn was awesome

I love hollyhocks..but I've struggled to get them bloom continously.. Now I've just got one small that survived.. My gosh, wish I got seeds from you to plan in my garden..😥

"We're going to need an airplane drop" lol 😄

I cringed and almost cried when you threw away all those seeds. Spread the wealth to your subscribers. I would pay shipping just to say I have Garden Answer hollyhocks. SERIOUSLY!! I love having flowers from neighbors, friends, and whomever especially Laura 😃 I am sure there are others who would be proud to say the same.

I love that you have to go looking for your pruners. "In the bin marked pruners? Of course not". Story of my life.

Beautiful Design Choice In Having Placed A Wall Trellis Behind Your Round Concrete Table. There's An Abundance Of Charm Displayed In That Space, And It's Noticed. As You've Mentioned Before, " Romancing The Ordinary " Conveys Meaning To Both Our Homes And The People Who Are Among Us There. Laura, You've Certainly Captured It Throughout !

So fun to watch some of these older videos!

The hollyhocks are stunning. Gorgeous.

The Hay racks are overwhelmingly beautiful! I enjoy watching you check off, so to speak, your garden chore list. I don't seem to have gophers in my yard and gardens, but VOLES, ugh, are my nemesis. Thank you for keeping it real as to what you struggle with in your gardens and sharing your solutions and helping others.

I am a senior and cant garden much, just a few pots and birdhouses etc, and this channel brings me so much joy, satisfaction and entertainment you just have no idea, thank you so very much.

Love the garden clean up videos..so satisfying to watch🤗

Hollyhocks everywhere! I would love it.

Love the upbeat music and speed of vid.... so great to experience progress at hyper speed... 🤣

After you push out the gophers you should regularly spread the anti-gopher thingy along your entire fenceline.

YAY!!! Love Russell🐈💙 and the Chickens ... "The Girls"!!🐓💚

Wow, so much work involved, I always wanted to plant a row of Hollyhocks in a section of my yard, now I'm thinking that could be more work than I want it to be, I do love them, but now I might have to rethink that idea. So sorry about the gophers, I never knew they could be such a pain in the rear. Always so good to see Aaron as well, and a little bit of the Russell kitty, we hardly ever see Cheddar. Thanks for sharing this video.

Thank you for the Holly Hock info. I have struggled with this plant for years, and even tried to eradicated from my garden at one point, to no avail. Now I know how to maintain.

I so love these types of videos. I really enjoy watching and learning so much about pruning and maintaining all the different types of plants and trees. Thank you both so much for taking the extra time to include us in your day. God Bless.

Great editing Aaron! I’ve never seen hollyhocks seeds before. Looking good! 💚😊🌿

My first gut reaction when I can’t find my pruners is exactly what you said...and once I did find mine in the compost, lol. Great video.

I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ but I love clean up! It always makes the yard and flowerbeds look refreshed especially after the string of 💯 degree days where the plants are struggling to produce beauty. 🥰 Russell! How is Cheddar and No?

You’re such an inspiration. When my fear of bugs drives me inside, I watch your video and think: well Laura does it and without gloves! I need to be braver. When I tackle yard cleanup, I’m covered head to toe for fear of bugs in my hair or up my pants etc. you’re a great team, you & Aaron.

Watching you walk out to the coop makes my soul sigh, and you are so blessed with the beauty daily!!!hard not to be envious of your hard work!!

It's always nice to see you out cleaning up your gardens everything looks beautiful when its done!

Poor little sweet Aaron and Laura....they think they have gophers 🤪🤪🤪🤪 actually it’s all of us peeking out of those mounds!!! We became so tired of watching from afar. So we all just tunneled into your amazingly beautiful garden...so sorry😌😂 because we are not leaving. We promise not to destroy your hard work again. All jokes aside, I just love love love your property, but more importantly I adore/admire the way you two are enjoying life together. Thanks for sharing and may God continue to grant great blessings to your family.

Best video ever! You are so real, I love it! And Aaron explained that mole repellent perfectly, he's super smart

We have moles, so that is a product I am going to look for. Since they are in the lawn, I shall route them out of our yard! Hollyhocks! I used to have a wonderful stand of them. Then the husband decided they were not to his liking and while I was ill dug them out and destroyed them. What he doesn't know is that I have seeds... I know how much time it takes to do the kind of chores you just did, add in filming it and man did you ever just blow a day. Thanks for sharing it though, as I enjoyed it very much. Happy gardening.

Cheddar and Russel should be taking care of the gopher problem. Our "garage cat" has really helped with our moles and voles.

Laura, I wanted to let you know that Planterina wrote you a song. It was very cute. Also, thank you so much for this video. Very interesting.

Laura it’s always great watching your videos even more this morning...... Very relaxing for mind and spirit .... Thank you 🙏.

You are like living in Heaven..beautiful surrou dings and animals and caring for everything..God bless you..from SERENITY and TRANQUILITY Ballarat Australia

Love it coffee with Laura and Aaron and chores, what a great way to start the day!!

It always amazes me at how much you get done around your property!You have so much energy!

I absolutely understand why you want the gophers to move out to the field but I chuckled for a moment and thought...hmm..they would much rather be in your cool, well watered, lush garden. Good luck 🥰

The random garden projects/chores are some of my favorite videos.

Another informative video with the most beautiful landscape!

Nice clean up guys! Good luck chasing away the gofer.🙀💕🌺🌸🌿🌺🌻

Lol, halfway through this I got up and went outside and trimmed up some low hanging branches on my poplar in the backyard. Thanks you guys!

Love your garden💗the hayracks are gorgeous! I love pink flowers🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Oh, Laura, another wonderful video! Thank you.

Love your videos.....so nice to see a couple working together.....Hope you realize how much joy ...beauty...and serenity...you bring into your viewers lives..Simply love you guys

Everything looks so Luscious 💗💕💜💖👍 Take care and God Bless, Chris-Raleigh NC

Planted the PW gomphrena this year...they grow massive! One 4” plant is now almost 3 x 3. Love them!

YAY!!! Love Russell and the chickens!!🐈🐓

Happy Saturday!

You two are a great team!

I know everyone must know how to grow and care for hollyhocks, but I would love a spotlight video on them. I just can't seem to get the hang of them.

I’ll happily, HAPPILY, pay for shipping for those hollyhock seeds. 😆😍

Oh to be young again. I still plant my flowers but in a downsized aera. Makes me remember "back in the day" watching you prune. Thanks for sharing guys. Love this family. God has blessed them. Any your sweet sweet chickens I just want some so badly...but can't. 😞

Mid August in this horrible year and everything looks so UNstressed and vibrant. Just amazing!

Absolutely gorgeous hayracks!

Hi Laura and Aaron! It's nice seeing you both working together. Maintenance is the worst part of gardening IMO. I mostly have weeding to do and some trimming, but not a fan of it. I loved that Amanda/Planterina sang that song as a thank you for you. She's so sweet. I hope some day you can get together with her. That would be an awesome video! Thank you for sharing!

I love your sweet face and precious personality!! Loved the video and hanging out for a bit! You are definitely living your best life!🥰

Laura, New shorter hair cut? Looks beautiful 🥰🌺

I enjoy this kind of video! Thanks for sharing your chores.

Love your show. Learn so much and it amazes me how much we agree on irritating issues like moles! Those nasty critters.

What a beautiful yard and gardens.

You guys are such an inspiration to my husband and I. Love watching your videos and your beautiful home and garden. You always look so pretty and fresh! Every time I go out and start to garden, I end up getting wet and dirty! I have long hair too and I end up putting it in a messy bun while I am gardening!

Great work. Lots to do in the yard this time of year starting to get ready for the fall and winter to come.

I love the pumpkins and squash rambling everywhere you have some spare room. I think I'm going to do that next year. Our lawns go brown and dormant in the summer and I think pumpkins rambling over the lawn could be pretty actually.

I love watching these vlog and any diy projects

Great drone footage. Everything looks so healthy.

Love the speed up videos, so fun to watch. Wish I could move that fast. haha.

I was planning to possibly put in some gomphrena up our walk to the front door but now that I know they stink I will think more on that. Thank you for the knowledge! I LOVE your videos. Your gardens are just amazing!

I just love how you two work together :)

Just love all your videos and learned a lot watching them! Love your garden so much! 🥰 thank you for sharing!

Gorgeous, every part of yard !

Thank you for sharing your day with us.

I totally love your show and tell videos lol.

Couple and garden goals 👌

I can't even imagine the time and work that goes into keeping up with this property!! Absolutely beautiful, and I'm jealous! Lol💖

LOVE… totally LOVE this video and your house. It’s super gorgeous!

Wow! Those were clean eggs!

Thank you for sharing some of your garden. I do love the garden tours and seeing the development of your garden. Thank you for sharing the info. You are an inspiration to me as I develop my urban cottage garden. I observe your arrangements of plants and it gives me ideas of what I may want to plant in my zone 6 garden. Thanks!

Your videos always inspire me to get out into my own garden...
