Same. In Granada, Spain they paint the pots blue every year and hang them on their balconies and walls with geraniums. In the heat of the summer sun the flowers and blue pots have a pleasing effect on the eyes. The walls are painted white and everything just pops.

Douglas seems to want luvins all the time. My thought is he swipes because he doesn't want you to stop petting him.

You make it look effortless. Love your videos. They are calming to me. I know you have referenced this before, but I don't know how to get large curls at the end of my hair like you do.

I have always read that hedges should be pruned slightly wider at the bottom than at the top to allow light in near the ground for better branching.

Laura introduced Douglas in December 2021 Garden Answer Dec 2, 2021 This is Douglas. Just like Cheddar, he showed up one day early this spring (curled up on the chaise lounge in the front sun porch to be exact) and just kind of stuck around. I honestly don't know if he belongs to someone else- he is very sweet and looks good- but he certainly spends the bulk of his time here (much to the dislike of Russell & Cheddar). Anyway, I thought I would make the introduction since he has made himself more and more of a presence. So, apparently we have 3 cats now...

Red geraniums came from South Africa in the 17th century & can be found in many paintings cheerfully growing on window sills & balconies. So beloved, the Swiss count it as the national flower. A geranium in a clay pot is a classic & goes perfectly with the Victorian sensibility of your Hartley, fun to reflect on generations before you which held the same flower in the same pot in high esteem.

I notice geraniums in pictures from Europe, lots in Italy....on steps, in window boxes, pots (yep, mainly clay pots). I love them. They do so well in my zone 8, and most everyone puts them in pots. I have a bright pink with a tinge of white to the center. They're not messy to me, as someone stated they could be. I just pop off the spent blooms at the base of the long stem, and remove the few yellowed leaves. My mother loved her red geraniums...her favorite variety was called "Patriot red". She passed on the love to me.

Hello Garden Answer friends! I am late catching up on videos. Since I don't work from home, when I would watch every a.m. at 7, I am driving now to the office 😢Talking geraniums, I grew up with my Grandmother always having an abundance of geraniums all year inside, outside they were everywhere. As an adult, oddly it was not a plant I never gravitated to, not sure as to why. Fast forward to last 5 years, my sister has bought a fresh flower hanging basket & planter of the red, white & 'blue' (purple) for my parents cemetery plot since my father served in the Army & my mother loved flowers. In the flower arrangement has been the most stunning of red geraniums, they get massive beautiful blooms and replenish seemingly overnight. In my opinion Deadheading geraniums takes no effort & now I know exactly why my Grandmother loved them. I Love the shelf from Benjamin, you have placed in the Hartley as a riser..so sweet to make something for you. No matter their age, then or now, our kids do notice when they have created something for us, we have displayed. I have used glue on so many things..haha. Anyhow, the boxwood trim, really does button them up, but I thought they also looked nice a bit fluffy. Thanks for sharing! Loving all if your landscape & gardens

Your comment about hairstyling trimming made me smile. Lol. I’ve been dressing hair since 1975. Boxwoods look great. Sharp blades do make s difference in haircutting as well.

[@jenlynpat257]

That trimming was soooo satisfying!! I personally don’t mind the ‘wooly’ look, but I also LOVE the sharp structured look of them trimmed, night and day difference.

[@chrisdooney5374]

Its looking amazing maybe time for another garden tour😍😀

[@donnabraden3126]

Laura you make hedge trimming look so easy! And it is not, people. It is not!

[@bridgeth7961]

When I had my first house (1973) I had a couple of Hollyhock plants. My dad came over, looked at them and said "hmmm, my mother used to have Hollyhocks." I responded with something like "0hh, do you like Hollyhocks?" His response...."oh hexx no, I hate them." 😅 At 1631 Benjamin is standing next to you....WOW, has he ever gotten tall!

Good morning! I love your presentations, and rarely miss one. There were many comments yesterday about the delightful “Douglas,” but some viewers stated that he is a neighbor’s cat; some that he is yours.

[@barbaracarlson1331]

The geraniums are really pretty and Benjamin’s plant stand works so well. I hope you can use them at Christmas too. Lovely!

[@mimsbluedebater99]

The boxwood haircut was so satisfying! They look great.

[@marthasidney2387]

It is so satisfying to watch you clip the boxwoods and watch how uou pot the geraiums.

Because of you Laura I over wintered a large geranium last fall I dug it out of a planter and cut it way back. I put it under grow lights and it stayed perfect all winter. In early spring I repotted into a larger pot with fresh espoma soil and land and sea compost. After two months outside it has grown to about 30 inches around and has 40 large bloom heads. I have never grown anything this beautiful in my 60 plus years. I also tried growing impatiens from seeds I kept from last years plants and grew about 36 plants all blooming and growing like crazy. Thank you Laura for your knowledge and guidance I finally feel like a Master gardener.❤

[@pandrews9392]

Very nice, boxwoods look tidy, love it!

[@ardythebartosch9913]

The boxwoods look great, nice and tidy. Laura, WOW! Red!!!! That is very unusual, I was surprised. You explained why.

I have to say, I love your method of re-potting and I'm grateful to have seen you do it in the past, because it's made re-potting so much easier and quicker. Thank you for always teaching us new better ways to do things 😊

[@barbb.9489]

Laura, you always make me smile. You worry so much, yet everything always turns out beautifully! ❤😂❤

[@terrik4723]

Thank you. You always make my day inspiring and peaceful. I'm in SLC, and we, too, have enjoyed a cooler wetter spring.❤ The high 90' s will be here to soon.

A stray cat adopted our house over 10 years ago and he was like Douglas, but Wiley would bite, but craved attention. He is an old man now and one of the BEST cats that I have had ❤

[@clairec298]

Red geraniums in terracotta are so classic to me.

[@michellepollino4986]

Love the red geraniums, they look beautiful in the Hartley. The boxwoods look really good.

[@marylarson7969]

Look at those beautiful clouds over the Hartley!

[@MissCorgi315]

Woohoo, just figured out how to send a comment, had to use the phone… ok I’m old! Love your show, you inspire me every day and fill my world with positivity, thank you!

[@cyberninja76a]

I wonder do you all ever take a day off and just walk through your land and just enjoy its beauty, i hope so because you put so much work inyo it. I never get tired of looking at your property. God bless...

[@multifaceted1051]

You are so precise and even with those hedge trimmers! Beautiful job! You could carve an ice sculpture with a chainsaw this winter! 😂

[@annehedlund7333]

Now that should be interesting!

You should for sure use more red around the property. They look so good!

I liked watching Laura pot up her geraniums; using the original container to make her hole in the center of the clay pots. My geraniums and petunias bloom all winter in my greenhouse- it is magical when you look outside the greenhouse and everything is covered in snow. One of my favorite places to sit, relax and play with plants while watching gardening or cooking channels. However I don’t do a lot of cooking and when I my husband and I were dating I would joke that I only cook twice a month; Now I tell him well I got my 2 meals out of the way for this month anything else is a bonus😊

[@annehedlund7333]

You are a hoot!

[@kkate9366]

The trimming looks great! Thanks for showing us how to tidy them up!

[@bethtefke9949]

Hedger, sheerer.... whatever...😂 You made me laugh. Yeah I'm with you. The trimmer thing. Great video. Love the red geraniums in the Hartley. ❤ Have a great day.

[@HeatherAldrin]

Laura, tip for Douglas! I have a cat who was a stray, and he did the same thing with my legs. I found that if I made no reaction to his attacks, but carried a distraction in my pocket, I could pet him when he came by my legs, and then when I saw the crazy glint come into his eyes, I would toss the toy or treat and head him off before the attack even started. He doesn't do it anymore! Maybe this would help you out with Douglass, because it's no fun having to be constantly alert for leg attacks!

[@michelebushnik2874]

Whose is Douglas? Gosh I've been watching you for years, and I might remember he is either a neighbors, or a new ferrel? You've accomplished so much in this video, I don't even know what to comment on!!! The hedges look famous and thank you so much about pointing out the varieties that do well in our zones. The begonias are beautiful in the Hartly!❤❤ have a blessed day dear garden butterfly Laura!❤❤

[@AndyLux123]

Love the red flowers ❤

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Great job on the trimming of all your hedges and of course the geraniums are beautiful!

[@karencrocker816]

Laura, I felt like I spent a good portion of my morning with you! What an enjoyable time it was!

[@robertparker8669]

That Hollyhock, wowzie! One tough plant. Keeper for sure.
