Cleaning Up Hellebores + Pre-Sprouting Ranunculus & Anemones! 🌸🌼🌸 // Garden Answer

[@CwinterbabyDesign]

Douglas and Russell always steal the show😂

[@amysgardenstead2879]

All gardens need a cat. It was fun watching the Cats play today. It is satisfying to watch the garden cleanup happen. I’m boiling maple sap today and the weather is nice enough to play in the garden.

[@patriciatanner2963]

Laura and Aaron: There could not have been a more precious video than this morning's. Thank you for sharing your children with us in addition to all of the amazing gardening information.

[@prescotthenry]

My brother down in high desert, southern AZ has a Silver Bark Juniper on his property that arborists from U of A said was 5 to 6 centuries old!

[@lindab424]

I love Douglas. He just wants the same love and affection you give Russell. I am just starting out gardening and those Ranunculus plants look beautiful, I think I am going to purchase some and give them a go in pots.

[@vlakslee]

Your daughter Samantha is really, really smart. Watching her help you shows how quickly she grasps how to do it. Thanks for adding a spring to our steps.

[@vickieyoung7122]

Douglas wanting to play...such a fun little guy ! Those ranuculus and anemones are such beautiful soft colors

[@opielabunch]

ok samantha bringing the flowers to your dirt covered hand got me right in the feels 🫶🏻 as a mama of college age kids these are the moments I miss so much. Me in my flowers and them running around being kids 🤗

[@justatitle]

Samatha is a natural gardener. She just gets it.

[@wanderertimetogo348]

Oh Laura, I just found a store (Elder’s Ace hardware) in Cleveland Tennessee and I felt like I walked into Laura’s world, they sell so much of what you use/promote I have looked for Land and sea compost for over three years and could not find it in Utah, moved to Tennessee and found it at Elders. I was chatting with one of the great ladies there and I started to mention your channel and she said “ Laura” like everyone knows Laura, she had high compliments of you as well. Great job to all of you, it takes a team.

[@kathyhansford4552]

I’ve been there! Great place! Such variety!!

[@shellyroman1321]

What a beautiful collection of hellebore you have! I would love to find some that will survive in zone 4B. I have a perfect shady spot for them. Lungwart is such a beautiful plant with such a unique name. I love the beautiful layer of Juniper berries... such a pretty carpet of color. What an amazing fun fact regarding the lifetime of a Junipers existence! I never knew that any tree could live that long!♡ Boy, Miss Samantha is really becoming a perfect garden helper! ❤

[@lucytree7892]

I got my Hellebors at Friends School Plant Sales at the MN State Fair Ground on mother's day weekend. The flowers produce seeds so they are naturalizing.

[@thedivide3688]

Hellebore are hardy to zone 3.

[@shellyroman1321]

@lucytree7892 thank you! I will have to check that out this year!!

[@shellyroman1321]

@@thedivide3688 awesome, thank you! For some reason, I thought most were zone 5. I will be on the hunt for them this year!♡

[@mimlauj6869]

The Wedding series hellebores are hardy in zone 4 😊

[@aldytangcay]

Been watching your vlog for long now. I enjoyed every videos you uploaded on your YT channel. You inspire all Gardiner's all over the world. I have a very small frontyard / garden area in my house but doesn't stop me doing gardening. I love all the flowers all your plants. Just watch recenly from day 1 until finished (pond project) now im watching all recent videos. Loves from ALDY all the way from PHILIPPINE S in Asia ❤

[@charlenegomez8385]

Well, I know what I will be doing this weekend…fertilizing hellebores and pre-sprouting ranunculus! Thank you 🙏

[@mrohde2067]

Same ! ❤

[@pomme800]

Your mini-assistant Samantha Grace is very involved this season ..so fun to watch ! Thank you for the beautiful Spring garden moments...Spied in the background, Aaron's Avocado "tree" in the greenhouse seems to be in dire straits ....Isn't that always the way in gardening ....for every hello there is always a see you later... maybe.....

[@be_you2023]

I adore that rare specimen in your garden Laura: the brown, tan and white fluffy textured one.

[@robingrunzweig3940]

Douglas is on patrol everywhere.. what a good (mostly) kitty... cleanup is just so satisfying, and seeing the blooms on those gorgeous flowers is a great reward.. love seeing the younguns playing with the cats... and just added a reminder to get some ranunculus, etc... love how Samantha is always helping you... what a nice day! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤

[@MrTerrybp]

Soooo gave me spring fever! Love the way Samantha helped on the corms! She picks up quick! She so reminds me of your Mom!

[@wynorawishum5860]

Great way to start the morning. Samantha Grace is so sweet and sassy. Love watching her help. The hellebore and lungwort give a promise of Spring. Thank you. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@lindam.5605]

Kept expecting Aaron to pop on to express his excitement for all his very favorite hellebores! 😊 Seriously, thank you, Aaron, the children, and all who contribute to the wonderful entertainment and education you provide.

[@kathydove5429]

Good morning from Missouri, I love your energy! And I smiled when I saw your tree face. I had about ten tree faces in my woods when my grandkids were small. We loved walking thru the paths we made in the woods and having the trees smile at us. Your gardens are beautiful!

[@vtgardener5327]

How sweet! We’re expecting our first grandchild and I love that idea.

[@destrybabyy]

While all the new property videos are just fabulous, I really do love coming back to the first areas you've put together! Brings a lovely nostalgic feeling. And also seeing them mature is wonderful. Keep up the great work!

[@bronwynodonnell8548]

I love watching Benjamin learning the art of gardening it’s such a wonderful life gift. Does he go to school yet. Cheers Bronwyn 🇦🇺

[@myrusticgardens]

I just planted 13 gorgeous, huge Hellebores that I found at a steal of a deal… and now we have snow. 😜 They look beautiful peeking through the layer! Right along side my little lungworts! ❤

[@StayPositive050]

I need to find a steal of a deal. Even at Costco they are $17 per plant. Meanwhile I’ll be patient with the ones I have and let the bed fill in.

[@lblak59]

I did this yesterday. 68 in SW Ohio so got to some chores. Left the Knockout Roses for later March. Those kitties 😸love Laura. She is the cat whisperer. Same for my hubby…all animals are attracted to him and follow him around.

[@carlas872]

I love Douglas. I know be must irritate the heck out of you when you're trying to film but he makes me chuckle. Samantha really picks up what you are doing so quickly! Thank you for showing us what you are doing. I'm still learning.

[@Sisteryoda1440]

Gardening among the first hints of spring, surrounded by cats and kids - it’s a great time to be alive. 💖💝

[@Iluvchknz]

Most of us are t going to miss what’s blooming in our yards. We look left then right… maybe front to back. Tour over. 😂

[@JermaineGertse]

Hahaha. Thats so true. Im in South Africa and have to most wonderful simplicity roses blooming that i planted a few months ago. My first roses every

[@thepipingbagbakery4399]

Best music during the hellebores clean up! Takes me back to the sixties❤.

[@ChristyH1973]

Shout out to Benjamin for playing string with the cat in that background. These kids have so much fun outdoors.

[@shannonmoffett6530]

Every year I am so grateful you introduced me to hellebores. They have become my favorite perennials all thanks to you!!

[@dianegougelet1829]

Hi Guys~ Wonderful video today... educational & entertaining! I love seeing your gardens come back into bloom & seeing your excitement as well. Laura, you are a dynamo with an admirable work ethic, truly an inspiration. I've missed seeing Douglas since his sneaky entry into the Hartley. He tries so hard to get affection from you while you're on camera. LOL He is a beauty! Thanks for sharing your expertise, gardens, family & fur babies today!🙋

[@maureengee364]

Great job surprise. So cute. Love the ranunculus. Loved seeing the kids and the cats. Cute. Thanks again for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@laurieolk5643]

Douglas was hilarious "getting in your business" scratching at you and the others are hilarioustoo. Benjamin was having such fun fishing with kitty. The kids are always fun to watch in the background while you work. I am excited to see what my Hellebores are doing after being gone a week. I am in Iowa, zone 5 and worry with our yoyo weather 78 Monday, below zero wind chill today (wed) about trimming back last year's growth. My plants are 2 years old.

[@gailfotheringham1847]

I love how you all speak about zones. Ever heard of that before until I started watching you. We are in Scotland and it just wet and cold 😊. What a beautiful collection of helibores xx

[@judyklein3221]

I'm amazed at how the corms multiply. You will have an abundance of Ranunculus anand anemones soon. Samantha is such a gardener... Just like her mama. Beautiful, productive video. Have a wonderful day!💕

[@JackieMooney-fr1lo]

Great video! I love when what you are doing isn’t so speeded up lol! Samantha is very bright! Her vocabulary and the things she does, like planting and helping you! If you didn’t know better you would think she was 5 years old! 💕 So cute!

[@AprilRoses-3]

Who watches the kids inside when you guys are out busy in the garden they are so precious ❤

[@janiceslifco146]

Loved watching Samantha with her cute little ponytail, helping you with the corms. She did such a good job. I believe she'll love gardening as much as her mom. Nice to see all those hellebores in bloom, their so beautiful.

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

Oddly, this is the first time I have seen Ranuculus planted. I used to volunteer at a Botanic Garden and have been around plants all my life. This was so fun to see.

[@kabodick]

These are just being pre-sprouted, not planted yet. I’m sure she’ll do a video about that in a few weeks.

[@AlexandraKozub-tp7fe]

Miss my sonny boys all grown up they have their own children now I have 5 grandchildren. So blessed our children our world . My son Michael had his first child Dec 12/24 sweet lily. Love your children so sweet and smart . They grow so quickly you get so busy taking care of our homes and bills they grow up real quick. My oldest is 44 wow I’m 69 Feb 21/24 wow living one day at a time as always don’t stress over the small materialistic things it’s not worth it

[@kebergify]

That's a lot of ranunculus!!! Can't wait to see the blooms!

[@micheleleso1181]

With all the many varieties of hellebores you have , you should make a large floating flower arrangement …it would look gorgeous on your table in the Hartley !

[@michelled4042]

😂❤Love Douglas. Cuteness explosion.❤❤❤

[@colleenframarin655]

wonderful video! Samantha was a star today !Thank you Laura

[@jiraniku6550]

14:18 that tree face just look fun and whimsical

[@maureengonzales2599]

Always a joy to watch you at work, with children and cats seamlessly interacting. What a wonderful world you are creating.

[@debrahernandez2032]

I heard you say, Alive and Blooming. That would be cute on shirts or caps. Just an idea.

[@kaylasmith8485]

You make me nervous with how fast you are with the Felcos!! Have you ever missed and cut your fingers? 😂 Thanks for all the wonderful videos. You keep me inspired in my own garden!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I'm transplanting my ranunculus & anenomes out today! 👏👏👏 Cant wait for blooms!

[@SnowFalling123]

I absolutely love the face on the juniper tree! So fun and whimsical!

[@cherylschumacher1832]

Well this was right on time. Just so you know I now have 8 more Hellebores to add to my collection, I'll be planting them in a couple of days. Had never really know anything about Hellebores until Garden Answer.....thank you Laura 🤣🤣🤣

[@katiegray14]

My lungwort is blooming too! I noticed last week when I was cleaning up the garden. A happy surprise!!

[@raehickerson6159]

At the beginning of the video when Benjamin was playing with the cat and Samatha was standing there with her sunglasses on, she looked just like your mom! So cute!

[@normarideout62]

Laura I’m glad we get to watch you because I’m so ready to get out in my garden and play. Getting up at 7 it was -23 and we had a blizzard yesterday too. That’s Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 wait ten minutes and it will be melting. God Bless

[@mstarplasse]

Such a perfectly timed video. My first year having to clean up hellebores and I never would have guessed I should clip off last years leaves as they are still looking green and healthy. Thank you !

[@jolenebarker6584]

Your videos are so peaceful and refreshing!

[@Heather0804]

The dedication to completing the video you show “we have dinner plans in 20 minutes” most people would come back the following day to finish it up especially with kids and all to get sorted out but Laura “let’s just run through these varieties”. True love of sharing your garden right there ❤ 😊 Also what has happened to Aaron’s tree he brought you? Is it ok? At 16:50 it was in the background in the greenhouse.

[@ac42405]

I love the hellebore called Frostkiss ‘Illumi Lime’. Fabulous foliage on that one, too.

[@mytigereyez]

I have two Hellebores, white ones, and I love them so much! I'm in Oregon and mine emerged early January and really made me smile, seeing flowers in the middle of winter! How do you keep your weeds down in your landscaping around your flowers and plants??!! It's always so lovely.

[@CathyCorriher-jb1ot]

Always good to see both the kids and cats helping in the garden. Love your channel.

[@elizabethharrell8707]

Samantha looks a lot like your mom, I think..she is just precious playing in the sandbox while you plant.

[@HenriettaReal]

You are gardening Laura, us we have snow storm today. For now I just love watching you and your beautiful garden come's alive. It's a lovely day.

[@stephanypasnin1474]

Laura , you should do tracksuit merch. So much more comfortable for gardening

[@myvideos6195]

Hi Laura, that is why i like Russell, he never attack you lol!.

[@staceymarchant1322]

Did we all say, aww as Samantha gave mom flowers? 🌺

[@jacquip644]

Here comes Douglas.....that furry beast! 🥰🥰🥰

[@lisabailes1065]

Can we all pitch in and get Laura a new pop up bag? :) Also, I love Aaron's humor when he edits the videos!

[@maryseturcotte-ir8ye]

I really look forward to my Hellebores flowering too! Love your videos as always! ❤

[@LakesideQuiltmakingArts]

Daaaang! Wow. Thx Aaron for the screenshot of the lifespan of the Juniper tree. How amazing is that to remember when we place our hands on a mature tree. ❤

[@angiehemphill9594]

Samantha is so adorable 😊

[@rajendramishra6407]

I appreciate ur labour , thats why u r healthy

[@tammiebrown6717]

I loved the Hellebores that you planted. I loved watching Samantha helping you. She is so cute.

[@chichitex1252]

Ha! That’s exactly what I do daily. I slowly walk around and inspect the state of affairs! I have 1/3 acre gardens and walkabouts every day entertains me year round!❤❤❤

[@jaznjaimee]

All 5 varieties of Hellebores are blooming in our pots and planted!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨ I’m in Northern California where we’ve been having lots of rainy days. However, today is glorious ✨

[@inabates8919]

Would be interesting to see the earliest aerial pictures of your house and surrounding area!

[@brendabraun5522]

Thank you for showing us the ranunculus presprout process again. I feel more confident each time you go over it with us. So appreciate it.😊

[@pamedwards7376]

So glad to see Douglas even if he can be all up in your business. Thank you for reminding me to go look and see if I have blooms growing. Look forward to your show each day. Would love to see how you started Drip watering.

[@Rhyzal_]

Yesss!!! Ranunculus has become my favorite flower! I get so excited to see you start them each year ❤ (Also, Aaron is a great editor! Loved the immediate answer to Laura's question on how long the juniper tree lives.)

[@relaxingnatures81]

Wow so exited to see flowers again❤❤❤...

[@youareamazing8004]

I cleaned my area and found small daffodils ,how nice

[@Edu_Kate]

Harvest those juniper berries and use as mulch in pots. Linda Vater showed that recently with her topiaries. 😊

[@carolynmoody9460]

I really enjoyed the clean up in slower motion than so fast.. it's so peaceful to watch you ❤❤❤🕊️

[@rspruill1422]

Hello GA family. Loved Laura's comment about touring your garden: "Go around your garden and see what is going on, otherwise you might miss it" reminded me of.... "LIFE MOVES PRETTY FAST. IF YOU DONT STOP AND LOOK AROUND ONCE IN AWHILE, YOU COULD MISS IT"!!! 👍🏾

[@shareejacobs4509]

Samantha handing you the flowers would make a cute picture! 💕Benjamin in the background with the cat…💕so cute! You can look back on it when they are older!🙂

[@betha8761]

Always inspiring! Thank you 😊

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Its amazing how everything is blooming early this year. I live in NE Oklahoma and its been so warm on and off all winter. And only had one week in Jan. when was extremely cold. So far 75 today 80 tomorrow

[@bettyharvath5217]

Good morning from Delaware Garden Answer friends.

[@kristinejohnson9141]

Im so into the hellebores i can't wait to plant some .Kitty in the garden i love it.❤

[@Deb-xn6yr]

Douglas had better watch out or he might get a "tail -prune" 😂 I love those hellebores, so pretty!

[@tericamcginnis5848]

Awesome, your apprentice in training! Love it! 💛🐸💙🐸💜🐸💚🐸😎

[@tracktor721]

Yes to garden tour in a daily basis! ❤❤❤

[@teresalimon4070]

Last year I bought a home that had 60+ hellebores in the back of the property, they're so beautiful and I love the foliage I get all year. They self seed and I've been transplanting them all throughout the property and putting them and Easter flowers in containers. I appreciate them so much because a glimpse of color in this season is so needed.

[@coradyck5273]

Planting in February?! I’m still looking at snow in zone 3. Loving the early inspiration!

[@virginiaramirez4214]

Look at Douglas 😍

[@TheGiddyGeranium]

Hi Laura. Just a suggestion. I discovered by chance that if your Hellebores aren’t blooming, they may need to be lifted a few inches. I just take a pitchfork and gently lift the plant, avoiding the crown. I’ve had Hellebores send up a couple of blooms the same season they were lifted. Give it a try!🤗

[@camicri4263]

I love hellebores but I don't have much shade. I had 2 trees were diseased so we had to cut down and the rest of the trees are small..., ugh. I saw Samantha getting right with the planting, they learn so fast. When you think that are not paying attention, you would be surprised! Kids are a good way for some of us to clean our vocabulary 🤭. Blessings 💞🙏🤗

[@lynkarpick8037]

❤❤❤ so wonderful following along always! Thanks for sharing!!

[@nivefaletau1938]

I LOVED THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC WHILE YOU WERE RAKING AND CLEANING HELABORES...

[@serenababy6358]

How funny! I just watched the older videos of presprouting ranunculus and anemones last night! I can't wait to see mine bloom this season.

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️
