How I'm Preparing For Next Spring's Garden

It is never too early to think of next year's garden so today I'm sharing with you how I'm preparing for next spring's garden! We are saying goodbye to this year's summer annuals, and I am trimming my hydrangeas and spireas that bloom on new growth.

☀️Good morning, Jenny! You cleaned up your garden beautifully! Come May, your backyard is going to be gorgeous in time for Alyssa‘s wedding! Thank you so much for allowing us to live vicariously through you, much love❣️🤗

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you for watching!!!!

[@Teena-yi9xw]

Good morning, come spring you are going to be happy that you were on top of things this late fall. Another great video, thanks for sharing.

[@melaniewhittington7857]

I have gotten tons of information from you just through this video. I wish I could have a larger garden but age has crept up and made it hard. Thank you for letting us watch you and giving such great advice. ❤️

[@user-tu4bz7io4m]

Hi Jenny, since I have been watching your videos I have found so many wonderful plants that I didn’t even know about. It is very exciting and even though I am up there in age it keeps me happy to see them grow. I try to follow your suggestions on how to take care of them. Thank you for helping to make me happy. Bless you all

[@8helenjhouston8]

Thank you Jenny - pruning is the part of gardening that I have the MOST to learn! Could you address pruning a Nine Bark whenever that is appropriate?

[@janettefisher256]

Beautiful , Jenny , thank you for all that you teach and share .

[@PeggyMills]

I love Christmas music too, Jenny. I’ve been known to play it throughout the year 😉 Everything’s looking great.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Yay! Thank you!

[@susanaustin6353]

Nice music to watch Jenny pruning. Got my pink hat and your cute Hey Friends logo. It will be put under the Christmas tree! Packaged beautifully!

[@katherinecornette5315]

Okay then, after this cold snap of 21 degrees I will get out and trim my hydrangeas, hibiscus and shrubs. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Glad to help!

[@debbyholmquest5220]

I love to garden here in Central Texas. Love these videos and have learned so much. Thank you.

[@Yvonne_ennovY]

Christmas music just pairs so perfectly with gardening videos and cooking/baking videos! 🥰🎄 Thanks for taking us along for your garden bed clean up - everything looks fantastic! I'll tackle mine this weekend when I prune my roses (and when hubby has a 3 day weekend and can help 😉).

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Jenny. What a sense of accomplishment 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The Hydrangeas are doing so well and are going to look amazing 😍 I too have to section off my gardens or I get the same way😵‍💫🥴 Have a Blessed Day 😊🐶

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you so much!

[@mariemcgrath8681]

Great video, good advice tackle one job at a time. I sometimes get overwhelmed, so much to do, where do I start! We had a massive tropical storm around midnight, no damage fortunately. Love from Australia.

[@sharoncoon5439]

Good morning Jenny and all. It's 22 in Ohio. Snow yesterday but gone today.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Oh wow! We dipped down to 19 this morning!

[@sandistolle4874]

This spring will be gorgeous in your gardens. Looking forward to seeing all the bulbs come up.Hey Brynna! 🐾🐾🥰

[@lisag6796]

I always appreciate your encouragement to get out to SOMETHING in the garden! I will as soon as the snow melts! 😂

[@dienekeoonk7018]

Nice cleanup! The tulips will look amazing, very nice colour. Bulbs don't have to be pre-chilled in zone 7a. We can leave them in the ground and they come back year after year 🎉 I think the pre-chilling process is from zone 7b and up.

[@kbechtel33]

Love your videos 💞

[@mariay.279]

Thx so much Jenny. Especially the advice. My hse is in constant remodel. So everything is out of place. Like it got thrown in the air. I hv the garden to attend. So, ur suggestion of garden bit by bit. 5 mins here, 10 mins there will wk gr8. Atleast I hv sm control over the garden. 🙂 Ur videos help in so many ways.

[@ramonajolley1966]

Good afternoon, Jenny. I have a book now to write down the plants that I think that I may like. I enjoy learning from you. Thank you so very much!!! Take care!!

[@dmbalsam]

My plants are getting their pruning in December. We will be in Florida in the winter and be back to late for the spring time pruning.

[@LetsGardenYall]

Took your advise last Spring and put a bag of compost around each of my ‘Incrediball’ hydrangeas & DA roses and it made a HUGE difference in this years growth & performance. I got multiple repeats on them too by selectively pruning off the old blooms. It was FANTASTIC ❤

[@judyanderson8782]

The best thing I do to get things done is to make a "to do" list and prioritize it. Because I love marking things off. If I don't make a list, nothing gets done. Jenny do you put up any outside decorations for the season?

[@juliabinford6500]

Yep, I have to break things down too. Lots of triage when it comes to the garden 🪴

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Exactly!!

[@bettyharvath5217]

Watching from Delaware.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you❣️

[@r.krosegardenindia1374]

Hello🙋‍♂️

[@lindahughes530]

Good job 😄

[@michaelmalone8742]

Good morning, Jenny! Thanks for the pep talk at the end 😊 Especially at this time of year, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Have to be thankful for each day and enjoy the journey. Love the Double Play Doozies...I've had one in a very large pot for about 5 years as a focal point along a side path. I do deadhead it now and then so it has blooms or pretty new foliage on it most of the growing season. Since it's in a pot, should I do some Land and Sea topdress? How long do you think I can keep it in a pot? I do cut it back by half late winter. Thanks🥰

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Great question! Yes I would top-dress it with Land & Sea, and it wouldn't hurt to give it a bit of Plant-tone at the beginning of spring. Since it is in a pot, you will need to give it a bit of nutrition.

[@theheritagehousesc]

I have 5 double play doozie spireas and I love them but so do the deer. They come up to the house to eat them. They are not deer resistant here. My deer loves them. That was the reason I bought them but my deer here is weird and eats everything marked deer resistant 😢😂

[@lisag6796]

Yes I've noticed that too here in Cleveland OH

[@karenbarnes5517]

Hi 👋 Jenny

[@kaylac3367]

Such a helpful video. So grateful. Lots of people tell you how to plant something but not much on completing the cycle. It's helpful to see the demonstration/instructions (ex. Hibiscus). A beautiful garden is a neat and tidy one. 😊 Thanks Jenny

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lindabailey3190]

I do not prechill my daffodil bulbs, I am in zone 8 near Charleston, SC and evolous are perennials.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Yes daffodils don’t have to be preschooler but tulips & alliums do 😊

[@dorindajenkins7825]

🙋

[@robinmathews7364]

Hi Jenny! Which Hori Hori do you use? I’ve been looking online and am not sure which are best and strongest. Thanks!! Love your videos!!!

[@jamdownone]

Jenny, work smart. I recommend a small sawzall for the hibiscus to save your wrist and hands.

[@MsDisnyfan]

I have candy corn spiera and had no idea you are supposed to trim them. Maybe that is why I didn't have the brilliant fall show that I was supposed to have???

[@lilyw.1788]

My candy corn didnt get bushy at all and I havent trim them either. Hopefully someone can answer!

[@karenray5603]

Thank you for the great inspiration! I have a question. Since spirea grow new from the ground each year, why don't you just cut the whole thing back to the ground in the winter?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

We want to have strong stems that can support the flowers and if you cut it to the ground every year then you will have a weak plant with floppy stems.

[@karenray5603]

Thank you! : ) @@GardeningwithCreekside

[@elizabethleipert3246]

I have a Texas Star Hibiscus, will I treat it the same way?

[@hectoraleman5719]

Hello, would I put them in the freezer or refrigerator?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Fridge never freezer

[@susanharvey7733]

What is the blue ball at the foot of the spirea?😊

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

One of Brynna’s many toys 😂

[@lilyw.1788]

my candy corn spirea had its first season this year but it didnt really get bushy and full. Should I prune it to help with better growth for next year or leave it to see if it gets better on its own on their 2nd season?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

A nice prune will help it tremendously. Just don’t cut back more than 1/2

[@joandavis3586]

Why don’t you talk over your cutting videos

[@richbishop7896]

When you say that morning glories are invasive do you mean the true flower vine or the weed bindweed. Bonny
