Fixing Some Tired Containers & Repotting Plants in the Hartley! 🪴⚒️🌿 // Garden Answer

[@judyheim6998]

So did you know you are one name famous- like Cher? Was watching yesterday’s Dig,Plant,Water,Repeat and she did a really nice private garden tour that a young lady did by herself including building a wonderful shed from scratch. Towards the end Janey asked her who taught her to garden in such a neat way and she sort of said, my mom did a liberal and some friends and then we kind of shouted, “Laura, Laura taught me to garden” and Janey laughed ad said. “Yes, of course, Laura has taught us all to garden!” We all like how you teach us to garden in really a relaxed way. It won’t always be perfect-so just enjoy the journey even the mistakes and failures, and change what you do whenever you want to.

[@aimeesgardens]

I love that you show the good, the bad, and the ugly. We all have plants that need to be repotted, and plants that die and need to be replaced and somehow it makes you feel better about it when even The Queen of Gardening herself is dealing with it. Which got me thinking....Do you realize what an inspiration you are to literally thousands of new gardeners? You have taught so many of us how to take care of our plants and gardens. There are so many more gardening channels on KZbin now that very clearly learned everything they know from you (they do everything just like you!) and I know you don't watch anyone else on KZbin so you probably have no idea the ripple effect you have caused. It's really quite amazing, and you guys should be so proud of what you have accomplished with Garden Answer. I know personally you (and Jess from Roots and Refuge) have opened a door for me that I always told myself I wasn't good at. I've always had a small veggie garden and was just kind of meh with it. and I told myself I just had a brown thumb and wasn't really that good with any of it. Turns out I was just not good at putting the right plant in the right space. I live for gardening now and am actually kind of good at it. Who knew???? Lol Anyway, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting yourself out there and teaching us. I can imagine it's not always easy so I just hope you know how much it means to me and thousands of others! I broke my wrist a couple weeks ago and have been kind of down not being able to get out in my gardens like normal but it helps to have something gardening related to look forward to in the mornings. You make my day, and my gardens, brighter. Thank you, Garden Answer ❤️

[@tamidickison1330]

Those asparagus/springeri ferns have those horrible thorns. Learned using it as a florist and repotting. Usually infect me😮

[@linsmith2310]

❤😊 Awesome and Thank U for speaking truth, I'm so Grateful too, my Hubby's is learning from both Laura & Aaron just because I didn't say it, butt our yard has befitting because they took and started Garden Answers, Thank's Again From both of Us, Our Hearts are getting healthier too ❤😊

[@kathyhansford4552]

I love that Laura shows us things that aren’t perfect. She shows us her boo boo’s, too. I love that she’s so open and honest! I’ve learned so much from her!!

[@HappyGoLucky70]

Thank you for showing us you have days when things aren’t perfect. I really appreciate it.

[@cynthiaann4465]

Hope you have a speedy recovery. I had a tooth pulled yesterday and taking it easy. Laura’s videos are so entertaining.

[@derekmorrison4191]

Love watching an experienced gardener hack and tear at plants with absolutely no fear. Lol. I’m always afraid of disturbing mine. Laura, you’re such a great teacher😊

[@timhubbard6433]

It is almost impossible to kill asparagus ferns. If anything all she did was slow it down.

[@belle281092]

Yeah asparagus fern is a weed of national significance here in Australia. You have to crown them to kill them. Cutting off the roots won't hurt it one bit

[@jolenehoraska6664]

Isn't she?!! ❤ She is also a fan of " if you don't love it, let it go and plant something else that brings you joy!"

[@annehedlund7333]

I always keep a long serrated knife with garden tools just for that purpose. Does the job

[@Yrutnec1]

THE GALLOWAY URN IS THE BEST EVER - THAT COMBO IS JUST PRETTY & SWEET. ALL THE POTS LOOK GREAT - I AM SO LOVING THE FERN ADDITION - I AM SUCH A FERN GIRL! THANK YOU LAURA!

[@shellyroman1321]

I love it when springeri blooms and then little green berries will follow. When you gave the plants a shower, you could almost see them stand up taller and shine a little brighter. I bet it feels good to check those chores off your list♡ Can we talk about the Galloway Urn a minute? It turned out just stunning! I think this is my favorite combo you have ever planted! That wire vine!♡

[@saraw8503]

The green berries eventually turn red. I had one in a hanging basket drop the berries into a garden bed. The plant has naturalized in the bed and comes back every spring.

[@debk5325]

This was a fun day Laura.

[@AmandaKobylinski-gp6qb]

"Small, consistent, efforts" I love this quote! You are truly an inspiration to all us home gardeners! Thank you so much for bringing us along on your journeys!

[@leeyonder2135]

❤❤❤

[@florang2203]

Thank you, Laura for showing us not just the glamorous side of gardening but all the dirt, sweat and mundane work^-^ You are such a hands-on gardening host!!

[@zackarybever9769]

I Love “Small Consistent Efforts” ! You hit it out of the park with the parterre garden!!!

[@sherryhumphries1801]

Sooo pretty, you cannot go wrong with shades of purple, shades of pink, delicate corals and frilly loose greenery, I really like your sense of genteel and happy colors, it makes you happy!

[@CatCaretakerID]

"Small, consistent effort." Best advice ever. Wow, that's messy work. That fern looks so pretty there in its new pot. Look how green the foliage on that kumquat plant is - remember when Laura repotted it, it was yellowing quite a bit. So happy now - how great. The clematis on the trellis on the house is the fullest I remember seeing - so pretty. Oh my word! That heliotrope - so very beautiful, the foliage is gorgeous. I love the mini coleus. I haven't done well with ferns in the past, but I have moved to a new state, perhaps it's time to try again. I'm loving the Lamium in that one pot.

[@marynimocks6791]

As hard as you work, NEVER apologize for anything you haven't been able to get to! You are a true inspiration and bring so much happiness to we viewers with your positive attitude, your creativity, your appreciation of beauty and your enviable relationships with family! So fun to see you create this amazing estate! Thank you so much!♥

[@sherylemoore8626]

Heliotrope is such a favorite of mine. The pots turned out so lovely. The galloway urn is a favorite, even empty! With the selection of flowers you used in it, wow! Just beautiful.

[@rcronin1]

Hi Laura and family and crew. I just want to say thank you for this video. I don't know if I've watched hundreds or thousands of your videos at this point. I am so appreciative of your content. I really enjoyed the relaxing feeling of this video - I know you're doing a pretty mundane activity transplanting things, but it's both validating and motivating. Thank you so much ❤

[@susanpedersen4720]

These arey favourite videos. Much more relatable than the large projects. It gives me the inspiration to tackle everyday garden chores

[@bethD419]

Your repotting method is so helpful and gives me confidence. Watching you be careful yet breaking up the roots shows the plants can take it and need that.

[@normarideout62]

Laura you are definitely Queen of container arrangements…. Stunning

[@user-fo6kq1wc6l]

All the planters are just gorgeous!! You are so down to earth, I love it! You showing us the failures, and admitting your shortcomings is part of what keeps us coming to you daily!! (and bingeing older videos). You keep it real for us, put on no airs, always showing us the nitty gritty side of gardening. That's what's given you the success you have. Blessings on you Laura!!

[@jenw5854]

Really helpful to see how you got the hostas and boxwood out of the pots without disturbing the rest of the arrangement.

[@nancyschwartz5665]

It's always lovely to watch new things going in but when you show us that you are just like the rest of us and sometimes things get away from you, I have a whole new respect for you. #reality

[@sandythornton5166]

I ooohhed and ahhhhed my way through this entire video!!! The lovely Hartley and the freshly washed greenery of the plants was so peaceful and cooling!! And then those urns are absolutely gorgeous!!! I am with you on loving the wire vines in your arrangements this year!!! I hope I can find some of those for next year!! This was just a joy to watch and I thank you!!!

[@emmylivingston4380]

I've been a subscriber to your channel for over 4 years now and hove learned a TREMENDOUS amount about gardening from you. It's so nice to see those glimpses that you are in fact just like us when we leave pots out in the sun for too long, or put blinders on to maintenance tasks that are easy to put off. Thanks fir always keeping it real!

[@ThePianoreed]

I learn so much about gardening from this channel. Thanks Garden Answer!

[@cheriberry9633]

I’ve never seen asparagus fern blossoms! How pretty❤

[@cynthiag3065]

I never thought of combining the colors coral and purple-it’s so pretty. I love your saying, small consistent efforts pay off. That is so true!

[@denisecoviello5619]

Container planting projects are always my favorite! 🪴

[@dianamiller1798]

You cracked me up watching you working with that fern 😄 At the same time you gave a good demonstration on how resilient plants can be.

[@jennifermcduffie6889]

Yes, the asparagus fern looks much happier in its bigger pot! Definitely the right move!

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️

[@bethsatterfield9499]

The Galloway Urn combination is my favorite of all you’ve done in that urn. The scale and combination was just spot on. Love seeing all of the new plants for 2025.

[@barbararobinson-cs3ym]

Love that wire vine also.

[@TracyTubbs-cr8qo]

So glad you allowed us to see the real life stuff… how many times have I forgotten something only to remember later and it be a mess!! Thank you!!!

[@conniep.4408]

"Small, consistent efforts." Daily disciplines that teach our children, and keep our life in order. ❤

[@dianabrock6383]

I fell in love with the heliotropium a couple years ago when my son got married outside. I planted the containers with these. Their colors were purple. It was beautiful. Now I buy them all the time. I lost my smell from covid so I really can't smell them. But others can. Your containers are beautiful!

[@lindahopps739]

The Galloway urn is stunning by itself, but you have taken it to the next level with your planting arrangement! Another beautiful Laura creation ❤

[@dianequist835]

It instantly became a stunner!!! It's one of my favorites, to say the least.

[@connieframe8613]

Loving the wire vines!

[@heathernesbitt1309]

When Laura said “I’m gonna need a bigger pot”, it reminded me of that scene in the movie, Jaws “ we’re gonna need a bigger boat” 🦈. I absolutely love the partier garden.

[@terrypauloregon]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that forgets plants.

[@DebBrown-ee5kw]

I hope you got to sit back and relax by the kitchen door, later on and enjoy the beauty of your newly planted pots. Everything looks stunning with the color mixes. 💜💚💕

[@wynorawishum5860]

All the plants look happy in their new pots. The area around the kitchen door is so pretty. The wire vine is a great spiller for many reasons including that is allows you to still see so much of the urn is it in. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@christinahaftmann4065]

Russell! So nice to see you. Please don't let Douglas usurp your position! 🐈 ❤

[@grisespino5342]

Laura! I’m in love 😍. The scent! The purple! of the heliotrop mixed with apricot and lime green! Perfect placement to enjoy wonderful scent of the heliotrope. Surrounded by clematis, ferns, hostas, and Japanese maple! The urn planting are gorgeous as well. Thank you for another beautiful day of inspiration.

[@theresaburg5881]

The heliotrope with the coleus is such a pretty combination.

[@Matt_H2O]

So funny, just when you think the pot is full, Laura pops in 3 more plants!! 🤣💖🌸

[@cindyannefontenot]

That wire vine this year is awesome!! It’s so whimsical!! That unique stone urn at the end is my fave!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@coconutgirl816]

I absolutely love the passion and joy that you have for what you do, it actually makes me happy to watch your videos, and I don't do any kind of gardening whatsoever.

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

The new purple flower is stunning ❤

[@TheWuggies]

The parterre gardens are my absolute favourite in all your gardens, those colours are just magical together and the boxwoods are a great border! Love that❤

It does. Here in the U.K. we would add a beautiful brick wall around it. Very English 😂

Thank you for the demonstration on repotting the fern and dealing with such a big root system.

[@raeperonneau4941]

The urn with the Cuphea is stunning.

[@EastRiverHomestead]

Here in S. E. Georgia, we use Asparagus fern for erosion control and after seeing the root system, you can see why. Also, when they loaded with blooms, the perfume they emit is amazing!

[@rootelation486]

So many people tell me they have a fragrance.....I can't smell it😢 but I love them even without a fragrance.

[@EastRiverHomestead]

@@rootelation486 They only put out their fragrance for a couple of days. I was out in the yard and didn't know where it was coming from and then I saw their blooms.

[@rootelation486]

A blessed evening everyone!

[@user-hc1mn9eh2l]

I love when I see some of my plants in your videos. You had lamium in one of the pots. I use that as a ground cover in my front yard flower bed. It blooms from Spring throughout the Summer. I also planted heliotrope in full sun one year and it died. I’m going to try again next year. I hope next year the garden centers near me carry the 2025’s that you featured. They don’t normally have a large variety of Proven Winners. Thank you for your beautiful videos Laura and Aaron.

Oh my goodness I thought the roots were rocks until you brought it closer.

I love asparagus ferns and it's been my experience that they are so resilient and tough. They take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.

[@bronwynodonnell8548]

I’ve been watching you since 2014, and I’m always ready for each mornings episode. The potted plant look amazing. A tip for the asparagus fern especially in hot dry climates. Any of those little bulbs that get into the landscape will take off and they are so hard to get rid of. Cheers 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Bronwyn

I love you guys and I've watched you from about the beginning and I'm going to be a little tough here. The annuals are much better than the tired looking hostas. It's good to see some simple pot design as it helps the homey feeling we all love. Don't stretch things too thin with too much big new stuff and expanded business.

[@paulastafford1642]

Oh my goodness your property is just dreamy. So beautiful. It just makes you smile and wish I was there strolling the land and enjoying all your hard work. Everything looked so gorgeous and what I love most about your videos is your human element side. I feel less of a failure when I know that even your plants struggle sometimes due to nature. The heat have destroyed one of my watermelons, and my Japanese maple tree. I love your videos. I watch them over and over again. Very relaxing. ❤ thank you so much for what you do! ❤

I planted a fern fillers once…only once! When I went to clean out the pots for winter that mess is what I found and I was tough just getting them out of the pot because there was a taper at the top of the pots. Even though I love the way they look, I have never forgotten that one experience.

[@laraemitchell9064]

These potted projects turned out so beautifully! Love that heliotrope! And the color combinations! I like the wire vine spiller. But for me, there is nothing better than sweet potato vines. Probably because it’s one thing that never fails for me that I can do myself. Have a wonderful week! 💚💚💚
