Just love the addition and the bird bath. Your eye for beauty never fails. Aaron just gets more polished and professional. I always enjoy his touch to your creativity.
I have to compliment Aaron on his keen photographic 'eye.' The montage of close-ups at the end of your videos are so clear, colorful and artfully composed. They're a joy to watch!
What are the odds that I bought these exact hydrangeas yesterday! I was searching you tube for planting videos and could hardly find any. Unbelievable. Yayyy! Now time to get it in the ground. Xo thanks Laura you're awesome
Hi! Needed to drop by and leave a like!!! We were actually out in our garden admiring and attending our hydrangeas. They are all blooming and showing colors! We are so excited and then to come and see what beautiful hydrangeas you are planting just awesome! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Nothing like coming from the garden and walking into a new garden answer video. Love the area you planted and we recently planted around our birdbath as well. Love the hydrangeas as it is one our greatest obsessions. It will be awesome once the birds start coming around for a bath. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
I check every morning for a new video for my daily inspiration to get outside and plant more plants! I have so much more to do. Thanks for this mornings inspiration. More hydrangeas it is! My favorite ones are paniculata, because their blooms age so nicely.
Beautiful planting Laura! Love 'Tuff Stuff'! planted them this spring, they are pink and I added an acidifier to 'blue' them. Not sure how long it takes. but they are blooming like crazy right now.
I just planted three " little tuff stuff" hydrangeas and I love them so much. I HAD to have them because they stay so small and they are just gorgeous! Love how it turned out! It's just beautiful Laura.
My son and daughter gave me a dwarf Japanese for Mother’s day years ago, and I planted it under a large tree at the end of my front sidewalk. I just love it! Also, I’m so happy I learned from you about Henri Studios. I’ve purchased the larger little girl and boy planters and I am really enjoying them.
Lovely grouping! We had to relocate a Japanese maple we planted in the spring. It wasn't happy at all in the sunny location. We moved it to a spot in the back yard where we hope less direct sun will make the little tree happier. Thanks for all your inspiration!
I first saw that type of hydrangea in Melbourne Australia when visiting my brother. I bought some for my place as roots because it was cheaper but I've discovered they're going to take forever to get big and other plants are taking advantage of the space and growing in and crowding them. I bought a couple big ones this year and they are so much more worth paying the extra for since they can hold their own space with the plants around them and look fabulous instantly.
In 2005, I planted a Japanese "cutleaf" maple at a corner of my deck. I also planted three hydrangeas that have purplish-blue blooms around it. That tiny little $130 tree is now 10' high and beautiful in morning sun to part sun and the hydrangeas bloom like gangbusters every year! 💜
BEAUTIFUL new hydrangeas...my favorite shrub......will be looking for that next spring...GLAD you used the #1 rule in landscaping....Planting in odd numbers 3...5...7....looks fantastic!
I love your channel, I used Rose Tone on all of my hydrangeas this year which were reliably blue when I used Holly Tone, this year they are very healthy bloomers but pink. I think the best epsoma product depends on your soil and desired color with hydrangea. Tuff Stuff Ah Ha have proved to be very hardy plants, very happy with them nestled in front of David Austin Lady Gardener roses and an Orangeola Japanese Maple.
Laura - I'm viewing this in June of 2020 and just love it! Probably one of my favorite vignettes that you've done. Just so pretty and sweet. Thank you!
This Hydrangea is so unusually beautiful! I loved learning about this variety of Hydrangea, thank you Laura, this was a awesome video to watch, it was very informative. I love your videos, they are fun.
I have never seen a black picket fence before - I live in England where we generally have solid wooden fence panels (weather boarded), hedges or stone/brick walls - there is the occasional picket fence but they are usually white or pastel sage green. I can’t get over how striking your veg garden fences are - it’s so interesting to see. Xx
Laura I do that too, leaving plants a few days before I plant. I’m watching how the sun, wind, and heat get to them. Plants that are not suppose to be full son have done well; go figure. Our Texas heat is brutal.
Hi Laura! Love the new Ah-Ha Hydrangea and look forward to planting them. Also, I love your videos and look forward to watching them everyday! I have learned so much!! Thank you again!
Love the hydrangeas since watching yr videos I now have 6 in my garden. I also have the "urn's" bug too. Don't think I will be able to stretch to a fountain tho 😆 Looking forward to seeing how this bed develops xx
Just seen a video of you planting hostas and I did see this area were you planted the hydrangeas two years ago next to the birdbath, looks like everything didn’t work out, yes hydrangeas could be a pain.
What a beautiful hydrengea, love it! Maybe I’ll get a couple next year when my budget allows it. I just purchased 3 little limes that were on clearance, I couldn’t be happier. I’m waiting for this heat wave to be over so I can put them in the ground.
Linda Lee That's what I was thinking! I ran outside to look at a specific corner to see how a birdbath would look there. And...that is where there will be at least 1 hydrangia...
Helen Hoverson & Linda Lee My sister in VA just planted a Tuff Stuff Mountain Hydrangea - red at the corner of her front porch. She sent me a pic and it's gorgeous, too! The same hydrangea serrata; but, red blooms and the foliage has a touch of deep, red/burgundy here and there. I love ALL of them! 💜
I just received a new type of hydrangea called “felicity’ and after watching this video I am thinking I want a few of the ‘tiny tuff stuff’ they get 18” to 24’”. Hydrangeas are the most beautiful plants, next to roses, flowering maples, delphiniums and on and on. I also love gardening.
I LOVE hydrangeas, but zone 9b isn’t the best place to grow them either. Here, they thrive up against a wall that doesn’t get too much sun & is shaded from the high afternoon heat. I went thru 3 before I finally had 2 that took & have adapted to the heat (it can get to 116 in summer) over the last 5 years. These are a pretty lace Cap! Can’t wait to see this corner evolve! Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
Faylyn Hillier I would love to! We hope to retire away from the intense heat we get here. Although, thus far we’ve been lucky this year. It’s been rather cool, highest temp only 106. We actually had a temperate spring that started in February. But the daily wind has been ferocious!
Gorgeous!!! Plus the lighting change towards the end of the video looked really atmospheric and beautiful. Have you considered creating a kind of moon garden somewhere on your property? This video is so inspiring.
This looks so nice and I just love the bird bath. Do you change the water everyday? Is it just as easy as using your garden hose? or is there a better recommended maintenance for bird baths?
Hi! I love your videos! I did not see the link you mentioned posting on hydrangea care. I recently moved to a house with about twenty, old hydrangeas and could really use the advice on pruning and care. Thank you!
That's going to be a beautiful space.. And now i don't feel bad for cutting back and getting ready to dig out more roses myself lol they don't look good they need to move on to new homes. I am only keeping 4 since i am not a rose person. i don't care for bright red or pink in my yard. I'm ok with white, yellow and orange. I know you mentioned moving your tri color beech tree is that still the plan? With those colors you added in makes me think you might be keeping it there lol
Beautiful!! Do you have any videos on how to create new beds/borders from lawn? I want to start cutting some new bed borders out of existing lawn but I'm a bit intimidated and not sure where to start. I'd like to start with a small area, and slowly increase it each year.
Do you mind doing a video on how or what you do to overwinter hydrangeas? I planted several last year just because of you! They all came back and are looking great. However, I live in the same climate as you. Like you said we had a pretty mild winter. So it usually means next year winter is going to be harder. I did nothing to protect them, but I'm having a feeling like I better next winter. TY
So funny, the staring! No one tells you, when you're starting to garden, how much time will be spent just standing and staring at a space. Non-gardening neighbors will actually come over to see what you're staring at!
Laura your garden designs are just beautiful. I think I speak for all of your fans from RU-vid. What do we have to do to get a Garden Answer shirt? Please, please.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can't figure it out-videos on the ground makes your property look HUGE, but drone shots look more like what most of us have. Does the drone show the whole property at once?
Good morning Laura, ah so beautiful! I’m a lover of hydrangeas and I’m always looking for spots in the garden to plant them. I live in a zone five and have a quick fire that gets about four hours of sun and isn’t doing that great, any help on why is much appreciated. Thank you. Happy gardening! 😉🦋🌸🐝
So how is it you never have to fight digging into tree roots? I'm doing my front yard all in cottage gardens and have to fight tree roots constantly..we have two big maples in front...
Looks beautiful 😍 You guys have the most lovely "pockets" of gardens throughout your property. I have a hydrangea that the previous owner of our home planted and it gets far too much sun and in turn is a very sad looking hydrangea. When is the best time of year to try and move it to a new location?
Can you do a video on how to up root a rose bush to relocate please?? I have one that is.next to a lavender bush that needs to be moved. Thanks a bunch!! I love to watch your videos!!
