Annie! I’ve been a subscriber for years. Why your channel is not huge I do not know. I’ve always loved your cleaning videos and seeing the interior of your house where you combine the old with the new. That has been my style as well. My channel has been incredibly slow in growing. You are one of the reasons I started one because you’ve been such an inspiration. Thank you for the lesson on the hydrangeas. Whenever I think spring has started here in the mountains of North Carolina, we get fooled when cold weather comes back with a fury. Whether it will bring any snow is doubtful. That seems to be a thing of the past and that makes me sad because I love snow. Anyway… Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this video with my foster cat on my lap watching along with me.

I’m so here for the gardening content!! It’s been so nice this weekend (I’m in Ohio) I wanted to clean up my beds so bad but I’ve been hearing rumblings that we’re supposed to get one more snow so I don’t want to get rid of all the leaves and old stuff from last year quite yet. I do see my tulips, daffodils and hyacinths popping through though thank god I’m so ready for spring!! 💖💐🪻

Hi! just a heads up that you shouldn’t prune this type of hydrangea macrophilia . It blooms on old wood, so when you prune it you’re cutting off all the new blooms. Do you see all those red blooms\ shoots? You just cut them all off in this video, so it decreases the blooming you will get this year. There are tons of videos on it. Some of the newer hydrangeas bloom on new wood, so it’s OK to cut them back, cutting off the dead branches is totally OK, but you cut off a lot of the strong, healthy branches that also had new bloom shoots. 💜 I hope this is helpful! I used to do that, and always wondered why I never had big blooms on my hydrangeas…only green leaves. Now I only trim the dead branches, but never cut them far back and never cut off any new shoots. 🙏💕

Yes I know they grow on old wood - I literally explained exactly that in the video 🤣🤣 You can absolutely prune hydrangea macrophyllia, never all the way back to the ground, but it absolutely can be done with care as I explained it. I did not cut off any shoots whatsoever and only prune around new growth - one can decipher what wood has new growth and what branches are completely dead. 💕 Luckily Ive never made the mistake of cutting them all the way back - many of mine are just new from last summer so that’s why they look so small !

@@MissAnnieB no worries I was just trying to help. I saw some of the new growth that was cut off. Anyway, good luck with the hydrangeas and have a blessed day. Hydrangeas are my favorite.
