You guys are so entertaining! Your husband has a sense of humor for sure 😂

[@Li-Anderson]

I agree with your hubby!🤭🤣🤣🤣Why do they call them pinky winky, no pink in sight!🤨🤭🤣🤣🤣 He's needs to get paid for those jokes.🤭🤣Thanks, for sharing, everything looks great and healthy.

[@amosnodie2467]

"Plant some Rolaids?" .... "Give it a One-A-Day?" .... Too funny !!! But what really cracked me up was when I paused the video to read the doormat..... "Please hide plants from husband" ... Hysterical !!! Your gardens are amazing! The woods as the backdrop are perfect. I love how you put together the colors and textures. Always gives me ideas.

[@weiluo7287]

You are one of the few youtubers not pretend lecturing the viewers, 😂 .Like your interaction between you and the photographer

[@channa816]

Omg, your husband is a natural comedian lol. I laughed out loud and scared my pittie. He asks the questions that I'm thinking of. You have a beautiful garden ❤️

[@GuidingGreenThumbs]

My husband will be proud! 😂😂 Thanks for sharing!

[@Lupo-ie4cu]

[@kathyellis2506]

Love your videos! Beautiful gardens. I was a teacher and you are a great example of a “life long learner”! Love the dynamics of your marriage too!

[@josephinebrevig8748]

Oh my…that wooden arbor…. Love love love.

[@solsticesummer982]

The lovely atmosphere of the bird deep in the trees is absolutely beautiful. I’m so distracted by the little insects and the tall surrounding trees and the birds. And your garden is nice as well. Love the rock retaining wall.

[@mysoutherngarden]

I mean I like the dark stems of your onyx peacock just about as much as the blooms! They’re gorgeous!

[@jenniferderry4755]

All the hydrangeas are so beautiful, watching from my hospital bed, always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing 💕🌼🌹

[@longwayfromhome1556]

If you want your hydrangea blooms to last in the vase,wait until they fully open before you cut them. Your garden is looking lush and gorgeous.

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

All your hydrangeas are just beautiful. I’m loving your videos - so pleased I found your channel 🥰

[@robintranchina6588]

How much sun do you get for Endless Summer. I love all your plants! You work really hard & you get fantastic return.

[@Jdadkins6198]

I loved your hydrangea update! You and hubby are funny together. The last portion was the best walking us through each hydrangea. I’m new to gardening well not new but a new passion for growing things. Kinda obsessed actually! Just ordered way too many plants online 😬🙄 Lol now I gotta dig a hundred holes when the weather cools off. Your gardens are all so gorgeous gave me great inspiration on what I would like to see in my own. Thank you for sharing!! Take care ❤️😊

[@backyardediblegarden]

Such a lovely garden with beautiful blooms!

[@deanlollar8241]

I absolutely love blue in the peacock. I haven't heard of that one. we don't have any big stores in our area and not many plant nurseries. I do love how much you cover in your awesome vlogs. Thank you so much

[@MariaGarcia-fo8de]

Your endless hydrangea do you have ithem in full sun your garden is beautiful

[@MariaGarcia-fo8de]

Thank you sharing I love your garden is amazing beautiful and your hydrangeas are full sun & what do you fertilize do you use

[@Sawyeradventurestheworld763]

Your videos bring me so much joy. Your garden is incredible and I love following along throughout the season!

[@patriciawooden3026]

Just Beautiful !! Thank you and hubby for sharing your beautiful gardens with us , and I have really learned a lot! !! Keep videos coming please !!

[@NewMindGarden]

Absolutely amazing 🌿🌸

[@mysoutherngarden]

I also have an issue cutting plants for vases. It’s weird because I see gardeners doing it, but I just don’t! I’ve figured out that, I think that I don’t like knowing that as soon as I cut it, it starts dying and it doesn’t give me any joy. I would rather see my flowers alive in the garden. That’s just me.

[@dinac6250]

Your hydrangeas are absolutely amazing !!I love love them but I live on zone 10 so no way j can grow them here,I think they absolutely make such a huge statement in a garden !! This year in Florida there’s a lot of new plants that I’m really loving it like different hibiscus which the flowers are huge and just stunning so it kind of compensates for the plants that you have available in your zone and that I don’t have here !! You do an absolute unbelievable job ,your garden is gorgeous 👍

[@leiaflash5055]

Gorgeous collection of hydrangeas as well as beautiful beds :) Thanks for putting up the plant names as you showcase them!

[@elliesgarden1243]

Beautiful garden and hilarious husband lol

[@Cherryparfait41]

I planted another smooth leaf hydrangea after trying hard with a few a good number of years ago. Ditched them and planted panicles. Game changer! But, I’m back at it and hopeful!! I am getting lucky with my oldest limelight. It’s so close to being tree form. Pretty sure it’ll get close to 8ft this year. It’s got the vase shape and I’m still getting tougher at selectively nixing branches and raising cuttings. ❤ Good to see how big the Pinky Winky gets!!

[@joannab483]

Very inspiring, stunning garden! TFS!! I think the Pinky Winky (aka Whitey Tiddy) is my favourite, I have a baby one in my garden, I think it's been 3 years but first 2 were in too much shade to put on alot of growth. It just looks so ethereal to me 😊

[@sammysworld5485]

You have such a nice collection of different types of hydrangeas. My favorite is the oak leaf, quick fire & pinky winky. I want to plant dwarf variety like wee white, mini mauvette & tiny tidbit in drifts.

[@viviangerard459]

love your boots what brand are they thankyou

[@lindaga820]

Love the onyx peacock will definitely look for one of those!!

[@GuidingGreenThumbs]

I haven’t been disappointed and it’s in its third year! ❤️

[@barbstoltzfus56]

Beautiful hydrangea! I seen your newly planted daylillys have blooms ,can you tell us what they are?? Please😊

[@gardeningbyheart4912]

My Twist and Shout Hydrangeas (lacecaps) change colors throughout the lacecap (pink, blue, purple). They've done that for several years now, so that might be how they bloom. I love them.

[@GuidingGreenThumbs]

Thanks! That could very well be the variety!

[@bryanheidtman2476]

I have limelights, little lime, and bobo's surrounding the pool, all in full bloom right now in SW ohio, love to show you a pic!

[@saralyleantolik607]

So so beautiful. Love your yard. Just put in my first hydrangea..Limelight. Very small now and struggling a bit. Got some blooms though. Love it!

[@sunwm2003]

Your big leaves are really thriving in your yard. But the limelight apparently didn’t get enough sunlight. They are very small comparing to my one year old one. But anyways, love your video. So much space for so many hydrangeas. It’s a dream garden for hydrangea lovers!

[@BrittanyS143]

Im so glad he stepped in the dogs poop!!!!! Yeah she could sell some plants and shes gonna use your garadge to do so lol!!!

[@GuidingGreenThumbs]

Ha!! Yea!

[@kenkouches7603]

[@GuidingGreenThumbs]

Thanks so much ❤️

Nice video like it very much.

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Hi if you get time Have a look at my channel. See what you think. Thanks for your support and time.

[@beatriceanderson9745]

Hi from Oxon Hill, Maryland! Yeah I’m the 1nd! Lol!😊💖🦋🐝🌼🌸👍👋

[@MK-wm6gu]

Your hydrangeas look beautiful! I have a hydrangea tree, but I’m not sure what kind it is. I bought it quite a few years ago before I started saving the tags from plants I bought. Anyway, the blooms are huge, probably bigger than my head. I have a question that’s off-topic, but I remembered I wanted to ask you when I saw your red spider lilies. On my day lilies and all the others I see around the development, a lot of the leaves have yellowed or dried up. Is this normal as the day lilies age, or is it another issue such as watering or the amount of light they’re getting? If you have time to answer, that would be great. Thanks for the video!

[@jeanniecollier6763]

Love all your videos!!

[@kimberly8185]

I love your gardens so much

[@TG-mx4bw]

Did Hubs make you that branch arbor at the entrance to your garden fenced area?

[@christinezarvis4761]

I was wondering about that arbor as well.

[@beatriceanderson9745]

Looks like I meant 2nd! Love love your garden videos!!😊💖👍👋🦋🐝🌼

[@viviangerard459]

you work so hard in the garden your husband is so funny

[@jjjohnston545]

I was wondering what happened to your husband. Love his commentary and can’t image him not being a part of the videos

[@josiehollerbach4429]

Indeed your hubby is sweet and funny.

[@cherylpreston4545]

Love all your hydrangeas!!

[@deecimurphy2132]

What are those cornflowers with the potruding heads, in with the hydrangeas. they are yellow and brown.?

[@joycekuhlman4450]

Thank you for the names of all. Love the onyx peacock. I need smaller ones,,can you recommend? Not on Facebook anymore but I love your poppies. And what is the daylillies with yellow centers and red on the outside?

[@lizmerritt2148]

Love hydrangeas!! I have the same problem with the endless summer hydrangeas. I have 4 in a row and usually only 2 bloom because they get a little bit of afternoon sun. Although I am getting a few sporadic blooms on the other two this year. Do you ever divide your endless summers or strictly transplant the whole bush? I am in zone 5 in Chicago area

[@donabellahardeneravlogs790]

Wow love your beautiful and refreshing garden!

Nah, hubby is annoying and sounds like he's just trying to shit on her passion. Loved when she took over the camera and went at her own pace, with no corny jokes or sarcasm

[@carolsabo187]

Do any of them grow in the shade?

[@arlenebraithwaite1645]

Did hubby just says to throw a Rolaids into the soil? 😂🤣😂

[@sherrillgagnon6758]

Where did you get your arbor going into the vegetable garden? I love it!!

[@QueenAyeee]
