I deadheaded, fertilized and kicked and my roses stopped blossoming 3 weeks after I brought them home 😢

I really want to subscribe to your channel but just can't with all the MID-video ads. that just cut off the video. My understanding is that channels can turn those off. Manage mid-roll ad breaks in long videos On monetized videos that are 8 minutes or longer, you can also turn on ads during the middle of the video (known as "mid-rolls"). By default, mid-roll ads are automatically placed at natural breaks in your videos to balance viewer experience and monetization potential for you. If you don’t have mid-roll ads turned on as the default for new uploads, you can turn them on for individual videos.

Very good explanation 👍👌👌💯

Tried, tested and works thank you for the video 👌

I would transplant the healthy looking Lavender in the backyard, up to the front yard, then then start fresh in the backyard. ❤

I like to leave the brown stems and use them in my winter planters boxes. They look so cool kind of like deer antlers

Very helpful.

Thanks! I really appreciate how you present the info. Would Salvia be pruned the same way? I let mine get overgrown and it has those woody stems that lavender has when you let it overgrow. I didn't find a saliva video on your channel, but I would love one if you had the time!

Hi Laura, I would love to know how your Beyond Pink’d are doing and how much sun and shade they receive! I love pink, purple and white all year-round! I’ve seen fall photos of pinks and purple, and it is so beautiful!

It's interesting what she says here about how the oils "smell really good to us, but they irritate rabbits and cause them to want to flee". Did you know that over a third of the population (as of the statistics of an MCS study several years ago) has some degree of chemical sensitivity dealing with Fragrance? That irritation aspect which rabbits experience is exactly the same with some humans. Fragrance (chemical/synthetic ones) cause vicious physiological issues like sinus irritation, asthma, CNS problems, etc. Why the other 2/3 of the human population does not have issues with Fragrance is very interesting. At some point, a human can suddenly develop MCS. This has me wondering if some rabbits are not affected. I've observed varied behavior between garden rabbits and noticed their threshold for the fleeing response is different. Some of them will not flee unless they see a big bucket flying towards them. Others run when you make one step.

Would this apply to potted plants as well?

Do you recommend this hard pruning for a yellow (honeycomb) butterfly bush?

Well done showing us...just what I needed to know💚

Stumbled across your video for lavender tips and glad I did. Now I’m watching your others! You’re very informative and to echo some other comments, you have a lovely voice! What time of year is best to plant perennials-specifically the perfecto mundo, I’d like to use it as a ground cover? I live in Nothern NJ, 6b. Thanks!

Thank you so much!!!!!

Don’t use shears!! It is harder on the plant uses more energy, pull off the heads you’ll get way more blooms

I’m not a gardener. In fact I’m terrible. I have lavender but I had no idea that I should prune it. Now I have all of that woody stuff. Uh oh. Can I correct it now?

You sold me on the tidbit! Thank you so much for sharing!!! 😍

That was an excellent tutorial on lavender - thank you

I’m on my second Salix. My first was a standard hakuro nishiki. After a few years it started reverting to the large green leaves. Every time I cut it back the large green leaves came back. It’s now at least 40 feet tall, 30 feet wide! It is all solid green. I just planted a salix pink flamingo a month ago in spring. It’s showing leaves that are already reverting to plain green! When I told the nursery owner he said that was the normal spring growth. Big fat lie to avoid refunding my $50! I’m done with this plant.

You should never put used litter near plants you’re going to consume.

My favorite flowers daffodils.... ❤️

Does this apply to all perennials?

bunnies ate mine

But you don't explain exactly where you should cut or why. Some say 1/4 inch above the 5 leaves. Some also say if the 5 leaves are turning inward not to deadhead. So I think more needs to be explained in your video.

Looks amazing Laura!!! Love the blue arrow Junipers with the dappled willows.. great texture.. Can’t wait for the next video on your new beds! ❤️

Those willows are gorgeous! And I have not seen a False Yucca before. Very nice!

When you plant into the ground, do you plant each cutting separately? or a few together?

Excited to see a longer in depth video of the drought tolerant bed :D

Awesome!!!

I have trimmed up my dappled willow into a three trunk standard. Of course it threw out a large amount of suckers so cut them and sprayed with sucker punch. I would like to braid these stems but them are too stiff. Maybe in the winter I will try. I think I will just be able to twist them around each other.😊

Great informative, well nareat3d video. Thank you. I live in hot SoCal, so when is the best pruning time? There is no frost. And should I dead head for those that die off? Thank you.

Thank you!

Wow, those Dappled Willow are gorgeous! Looking forward to your drought-tolerant video too ☀

Excellent video. Nice work!

I just bought a Dappled willow about a month ago, planted it in th ground and watered it well. It's getting brown leaves and also losing leaves down the stems. I have tried to keep it watered well in this heat we're having in Maryland.

Can’t wait to see what you have in the new beds. A couple ideas; a variegated Japanese Silver grass in front of Magnolia Jane and All Gold Hakonecloa amongst the blue evergreens. It’s ok to tell me if you think my ideas are dumb.

The yard I inherited has hundreds in a bed… it is overwhelming to try and thin them

I bought one of these almost 30 years ago when I began having problems with my knees. After my first knee surgery in 1996 (a TTT surgery, not TKR) I could no longer use it because the cushions were just too hard to kneel on. For anyone with knee issues I think you would want to add another thicker and softer pad somehow. This pad is not soft at all, unless you’re comparing it to bare ground or concrete. Kneeling on grass is softer in my opinion. It also is narrow front to back and a bit top heavy in design so it is quite easy to tip forwards or backwards if it is on rough ground when used as a bench, which I found dangerous. I love the idea of this bench; I just think it would be better if it could be adjusted in height for shorter folks when used as a bench, adjust for unlevel ground so it was less tippy and that it had a MUCH softer and thicker cushion when used as a kneeler. I basically stopped gardening in the ground to the degree I did before and opted for only perennials and ground covers that were very easy care and lots of Preen to keep weeds at bay, or I planted in smallish containers that I could lift to a comfortable height to weed. I’m hoping to add some window boxes that I can reach from the ground in the future.

Thank you for the update on the dappled willows. We finally achieved the privacy we wanted with our dappled willow hedge. Thanks for all the advice you gave me when I thought the entire hedge was dying. I had to move another hedge of dappled willows to the front side of my house because (didn't know it at time of planting) I have black walnut trees in the back yard and this was killing them. Now I have replace them with tiger eye sumac in pots (invasive). Have to be willing to change plans as a gardener right? Thanks again.🙏

Great video! Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Absolutely the best video on how to maintain daylilies! Not only a description of what to do but an explanation of why we are doing what is described. This video got me to tap the subscribe button and turn on the notification bell. Thank you! Oh and I came in to look up how to care for daylilies after I questioned whether I was removing seed pods or newly forming flowers. Your video confirmed that I was removing seedpods.

Thanks for the tips. My willow is huge, so I might cut it way back. what would be a good time to do that ? I am in PA :)

I say afasis

Lovely video! You advocated to the supreme court of flower lovers so well on behalf of the Rozanne geranium.

Id love to know, a year later, how your "Tiny Quick FireS" are doing? Have they grown much? Flowers I bet are close to happening?

Oh girl I hope you got a backpack sprayer by now. Cheaper in the long run because you can use concentrate and also way easier to cover those larger plants.

Thank you, this was very helpful. What time of year should all the leaves be trimmed back?

Who cares. He is too cute and deserves to get more flowers 🥰

how far did you space them to get those nice clusters i want to get a cluster like your lamp post bed in my new raised bed
