Might’ve Blacked Out During Mid-Winter Clean-up 🫣|| Visit Our Garden

[@jeannequick9551]

I watch you and then Dig, Plant, Water, Repeat first thing every morning. It is a great way to start the day. I can relate to starting to clean up a little bit and keep going and going. It is like eating potato chips, I just can't stop, but it is very satisfying to get more done than I planned on.

[@ptgardener3725]

Me too!!!!

[@xtraacrispy]

Me too!!!!

[@carolynlunel9382]

Me,three!!😂💚🌿🌸

[@geraldinethorne6690]

Me four!

[@roxanagonzalez414]

Me five ❤

[@jillbruce3624]

Oh yes, the pruner blackout. So satisfying. Love it.

[@markbaker8249]

I am in the middle of garden planning and remembered that I wanted to share a great petunia that you can start easily from seed. The opera series, especially pink morn, is a prolific grower for me in the Southeast. While it may not spread as much as bubblegum, it rivals in color and requires a minimal level of care. It has even overwintered in a couple of spots. I've now planted it several seasons, and it never disappoints. Thanks for all of your videos and your down to earth approach to gardening.

[@carolynlunel9382]

Isn't it crazy when those things happen?! You'll be sooo happy when it's pouring rain & freezing and you don't have that on your to do list anymore! If I watch Robbie in the morning, it counts as actually working in my garden..right?!

[@lisahowell3468]

I’m so sorry about the birds!!!!😢

[@salimorton641]

Hey, Robbie you beat the rain! Who else thinks Rob needs a large pop up bag?

[@angieagentlesoul]

Or, at least, a second one. lol

[@carlarivas1238]

Robbie - I do the same thing. I go out with one thing in mind and two hours later I stand back and go hmmmmm…..not what I planned. I think it’s the gardener’s curse. It’s all good. Happy New Year’s Eve and thanks to you and Brent for bringing so much joy and many chuckles and smiles along the way in 2024. You are loved by all of us.

[@paulapeeler3157]

Robbie... You crack me up... Love your personality... Best of both worlds... gardening and comedy 😄

[@debrareuland8583]

Thanks for the laughs. Good job in clean up and I can’t wait to see it all in the spring.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Are you going for the Dr. Seuss look with your lemon cypress? ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@janetlaplaca1060]

I get carried away pruning sometimes, then it takes me two days to recover!😂

[@nancymaier4289]

Lol! If you give a mouse a cookie...... What has happened to your sweet birds? I'm so sorry!

[@deniseparker5668]

I just ordered the Felco 5 Pruners for my left handed son. Thank you for mentioning that you are left handed.

[@visitourgarden]

You are going to love them! Glad you are here 🩵

[@alicehihn3250]

You are going to enjoy the wonderful aroma of the hyacinths. Glorious. Always in my garden.

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

Pruning is like cutting hair. And it is always fun to do. Even better when someone else cleans up behind you!

[@cathyhatfield5340]

Hilarious but very productive Robbie😂👍❤️

[@JRP58]

A pruning blackout…😂😂😂! Everything is looking tidy.

[@terryprange2980]

The blackout is something all gardeners experience!

[@Chefabs911]

I black out in the garden too. Then I stand back and look. Sometimes I wonder what the heck !

[@kathylemay1363]

Those are the best days in the garden. When you black out and get something done.

[@annwoleben5439]

Edward Scissors-Hand came to mind as you continued to prune. You inspired me to go out and see what I can prune. You always provide instruction, inspiration and and entertainment!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Oh my you have a SNOWBALL in your garden ! One project snowballed into many others !🤭 ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@deniseparker5668]

Yay! I found the Comment Section on my phone and not on my laptop! 8a in SC

[@LauriOrkney]

Hilarious 🤣sooooo true! Heading out to the garden, be right back. My old man “see you later”💕

[@gardeningat701]

Hey Robbie, you can get any replacement parts from Felco USA. You can also get cleaner, lubricant, and oil to maintain. I just used the cleaner and a green kitchen scratcher and got all the rust off of mine. BTW, I got TWO pair of Felco 2's at a yard sale a couple of years ago for $1 ea!

[@bloom-chirp]

So funny! So entertaining! Rock on, Robbie!!

[@myyardofflowers]

January is a perfect time to plant bulbs in your zone, they’ll bloom through Mother’s Day. Gorgeous 🥰❤❤❤

[@valautolady358]

Garden clean up is so satisfying. We spent the last week running drip lines and laying rock in the raised bed garden. Every inch of the body hurts but boy do I feel good about what we accomplished.

[@geraldinethorne6690]

Hi Robbie & Brent, I found your blog this year after watching “Dig,Plant,Water,Repeat” and got hooked on your channel so I subscribe earlier this year…..so I have followed you and have loved every moment. Thank you for being REAL and it looks like you live your life authentic……..love it! My prayer for you & Brent for this New Year is that GOD will continue to give you peace, prosperity, health and the desires of you & Brent heart! Happy New Years and God bless from The Thorne’s Family, Oxon Hill,Md.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

If u scared to take the felcos apart try using a 3&1 oil and a little sand paper to clean them up! I do that on tools that don’t come apart! Martha says to store tools in sand bucket with some oil in it! Works good to

[@Jessica.VanWagenen]

Yes!! I lost three shovels in 2024 so I asked for red handled replacements. My husband surprised me with the Felko red handed shovels and weeders. I’m hoping these will help!

[@visitourgarden]

Oh man!! I’ll have to look into that! I have a bright yellow one and love it 🩵

[@judymckerrow6720]

Oh I like that ! Blacked out pruning, just a keep on going ! It’s okay unless while you’re blacked out you prune something that you weren’t supposed to.🤭 ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@MimiRoland]

You are so very funny! This is a very pleasant way to start mday. Thank you 😊

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

I did some clean up yesterday! Those agapanthus r coming out again ready to b nipped by the deep freeze we r getting next week!

[@stefmcclure9386]

So satisfying to clean up a garden! I'm slowly working on mine, too. I have to be motivated to get out there, but once I start, I keep going. I can't wait to see all your Spring color!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Previous owners planted hyacinths and they’re STILL coming up ! We’ve lived here for 30 plus years and I have never fertilized the hyacinths, granted they don’t look the best so I probably should start throwing some fertilizer on them and hopefully they will rejuvenate and be stunning again. ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@peggyfrommanitoba7310]

Robbie, you’ve had an amazing year! Soaring in your gardening career! Invited to a KZbin event. Giving sneak peeks of that cool guy Brent! Making some bread and homemade chili. Having such fun being so silly! Hanging out with your dear friend Janey. Your giant reindeer was insane-y! Oodles of plant and antiques shopping. Hating the heat/plants that were flopping! Answering our questions once a week. Good thing that chamber pot didn’t reek! Thank you for all of the great videos. I love your kind heart from my head to my toes! 😘🇨🇦

[@gma_picasso313]

Is that a lemon cypress in that area? I just bought a Christmas grinch tree on clearance and it’s a lemon cypress. If it is how does it do with the sun and heat?

[@peggy-ann1961]

Poking and stabbing aside, when jobs need doing they need doing! Great job Robbie,you made me smile today! Zone3 Manitoba 🇨🇦❄️

[@denisedooley6904]

Watching this has me really looking forward to spring. I bought the same Felco pruners through your link as a Christmas present to myself and can’t wait to use them. I hope you enjoy the scent of the hyacinths when they bloom. Your description of your pruning “blackout” was so funny 😂Thanks for the laugh.

[@Michelle1122love]

Love these kind of days! Set up to do something and just keep going. I can’t wait to start clean up but life is a bit busy right now. Next week I’m grabbing my pruners and hacking away!

[@samanthalonghurst-howes1465]

I love productive days in the garden! Sending you and Brent blessings for 2025. So sorry to hear about your beautiful little finch. 💧Xxx

[@judymckerrow6720]

I have a VERY hard time getting morning glories to grow 🥺 we do have bind weed that grows very well though. ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@Cynthia-zz1vi]

A great productive day I’d say. Not only feels good, looks good. You have the best job, Brent does the clean up a very productive team Happy New Year Robbie and Brent 😊

[@GardenHappy]

Don’t feel bad Robbie I just planted my bulbs too. I garden in California zone 9B so I am right there with you! 💙💚💛🧡💜 Liz in California

[@DebtFreeDana]

Dude - is that your rooster?! 😂 I get a kick out of EVERY time you give that disclaimer. Happy New Year!! 🎉❤ HUGS!

[@sandygroves5297]

I love days like that! Feels so good.

[@cindisinkula4271]

It’s handy to have a sweet husband to come in at the end and deal with all the pruned branches 😂

[@kathistucke339]

Robby, every time I see you it just melts my heart. You are such a nice guy. Btw, my son is also Robby! Maybe that’s why I love to see you.❤

[@StaceyFernandes-ek9ks]

Delta Blyue are stunning i grew last year and i kinda hope they come back again!!!!stacey from philly

[@lizswinney2637]

My paperwhites are everywhere and blooming.

[@robinpearce7686]

Prunning is the most satisfying task! I even emjoy the raking and disposal after.

[@patdelaney191]

I think as gardeners we are all as bad. We start on one thing and do as you did. I go out to do one specific thing and end up thinking well I'll just do that whilst I'm at it, oh! I may as well do that and that and so on 😂. So sorry you lost so many birds. Can you insulate it temporarily on the outside with bubble wrap or something, leaving just enough exposure to let fresh air in?

[@jeannaharris708]

Lol, "if you give a mouse a cookie" So refreshing to get all that cut back, looks great!

[@jdakat88]

Love it!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Oh there’s that word again hackitback. LOVE it ! ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@kathiesagert4299]

Oh my gosh!!! By George, I think I got it!! I don't know why but your explanation of cutting back roses made sense to me. Thank you Robbie! I love watching your channel, you are hilarious and so fun to watch along with being very knowledgeable. ❤

[@judymckerrow6720]

I STILL have to plant some tulip and daffodil bulbs. I’m going to plant them in a container though and keep them on my unheated porch so the squirrels don’t dig up the tulips 🤭 that will fix those little buggers ! The squirrels . ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@larahollister5060]

Isn’t it nice when you are not motivated to garden and then it turns into a great day once you get started. It turns into a good day in the garden. 🏡🪴🪻🪻🪻

[@jillrandolph305]

I could watch you work in your garden for hours it looks great and spring is going to be beautiful

[@Erinmac-k9w]

😂 I love watching you. As a fellow ADHD person, I completely relate to your whole thought process as you were cutting plants back. “Stabbed me in the ear 😂Might as well cut this back” so glad I found your channel.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Robbie! I enjoy spending time with you no matter where you are filming. You really got a lot accomplished, and it looks so good. I like the bigger hyacinth, and they smell so good. I've grown the morning glory and have had volunteers come up the next year. They are really easy to pull. Your bulbs are going to be so pretty next spring. It's so sweet that Brent will pick up after you! I hope you're enjoying your time off. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@LemonDropYum]

I’m genuinely curious as to what happened to your grass?😅

[@tammydeschenes4857]

Wow Robbie! You really did get the pruner bug today! Isn’t it so satisfying when that happens? Love it!

[@donnasantamaria8317]

I don't have a diagnosis, but ADHD is definitely on the table! lol! I've got my Felcos! There's no stopping me now! I actually love when I do the same! Nice job Robbie!

[@Angie-j8r]

Lol thanks for the laugh and inspiration

[@rhondaschenk5727]

I love hyacinths! They will be gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@kathyczech7876]

Happy New Year 🎉 to u Brent n family !

[@visitourgarden]

Happy new year 🩵

[@LorraineKeller-t8r]

Oh Robbie, I always say I have ADHD of gardening. It’s a natural phenomenon.

[@chrisferrante9544]

Made me chuckle I'll do just this.... and this... and this. Areas look great. Have you tried cleaning your Felcos?

[@Carmen-ok]

Hi Robbie and Brent. I was laughing while listening to you talking about everything you did. You were in the zone just cutting away with the help from the plants poking at you in the butt and ear like “me next”. I know how it is…so satisfying, right! 😅😊

[@AdrianaReyes-zh6lk]

😁love it. I need to get out and prune my roses too. You’re amazing!

[@jessiekidwell670]

How crazy is it that when there was that strike, it threw things so out of whack. No one would e thought that the strike was going to have a possible impact on flowers next season. Anyway, that’s just crazy to think about. Glad you’re getting them in!!

[@malindamiller845]

I feel like there is a national vine haters club lol which I am NOT a member of. I started a Honeysuckle Espalier (thanks to you), I have Morning Glories, Wisteria, Trumpet Vine, Clematis and Ivy. I love to post pictures of all of them but the negative feedback is SO frustrating!!! Rodents are gonna climb the vines and get in your house…I have a barn with feed for chickens goats and rabbits believe me they climb just fine without vines, your homeowners insurance will cancel you… I’ve lived in my house 30+ years my insurance man has been here plenty of times. It will grow in your eaves and ruin your structure…just like most plants they require maintenance that I do. Don’t like vines just scroll UGH😕

[@UrsulaHummel-tx5lb]

Hahaha! The Prune Spiral! Gets me every time!

[@StaceyBaksh]

Well all that pruning was just cathartic. Looking forward to seeing all your bulbs bloom. Question: Do you still have a compost pile? Just thought about it since you did all that pruning. Happy and blessed New Year to you and your family 🥳

[@judymckerrow6720]

My BAD, I still have to go out and protect my shrubs from the bunny chews, it happens every winter when there’s no grass to eat, those little buggers girdle my shrubs and kill them. Yes I have at least two little buggers to contend with, I should say two species, there’s dozens of rabbits and at least 4 squirrels, I’m not sure if the chippees hibernate or not, chipmunks. 🤔 ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@estherharrison3786]

Good morning I was late planting my tulips .I am in 7a .I don't cut my rose s until spring. Cause are winter can make some limbs to die.Hope you and Brent have a Happy New Year 🎉

[@judymckerrow6720]

Have a Happy and Blessed New Year Robbie and Brent ! ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@sandykoenig1666]

It feels so good when you go out to do one or two things and end up with a lot more accomplished. Looking good.

[@BeckyF8800]

I missed one😂😂

[@23mlin]

I’ve “blacked out” with the pruning shears a few times before. 😆 But like your garden I love how good it looks afterwards.

[@tamlamoore8369]

Good afternoon you made my day

[@judymckerrow6720]

It’s raining snow today. It comes down as snow but melts after a while.. It’s kind of hard to explain, I have snow on the arbor on our deck, it’s snowing but also melting off the arbor on my deck ? So I’m calling it raining snow 🤗❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃

[@W1ND0FCHAN63]

Oh your are going to fall in love with the hyacinth, they smell divine.

[@JacquelineNichols-uv7mz]

It's the hairdresser in you I am retired hairdresser and don't know when to stop when cutting back plants! Lol

[@5262janna]

So nice that you got that entire corner done.

[@sueanonymous6332]

High Robbie, I think that your 'Queen of Sweden" rose may be grafted. The big tall shoot coming up might be coming from the root stock. You should try to see if that shoot originates from below the graft. If it does, cut it way back to the root or it will eventually take over and the rose above the graft will die off. I wish that I could black out and get things done!

[@hilarytorres5361]

Thanks😎

[@tinam9844]

Lol looks great, Robbie! I'm with you. Once I get going with my Felcos, no stopping me, lol. Thank goodness it gets dark out early this time of year.

[@denisewatson3038]

Done exactly the same Robbie just can't stop ❤

[@antoniaradous9909]

It looks good, great job

[@marydengler3157]

“Squirrel” I almost did the same thing and then stopped with the Butterfly bush. Heard a huge frost was coming to my 9a and didn’t want the tender stems to be ruined. When we come to a warm up they will be cut back. Woo hooo. Looking good Robbie

[@sjerzgrl]

You got so much done without intending to 😅😅😅 24:31

[@anitabrock6858]

I cut my morning glories when I start to see seed pods and I keep them under control. They are so pretty, I just love them.

[@AngieSalinas-dy6bj]

Same here, last years Tulips are starting to peep out & next week excepting a slight freeze 😬

[@carolynredpath5412]

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE, Robbie and Brent!! I wasn’t able to watch you this morning like I usually do! So, it’s 9:00 pm in South Carolina and I’m watching now leading up to midnight! I’m crashing all my gardening channels and glimpsing at the tv once in a while😂😂😂😂

[@ChrisGeorge-d8p]

Hi Robbie, it’s your Canadian friend Tammy here I love how your plant on the green stand beside your aviary looks like broccoli I have to smile every time I see it😂 hope you had a very merry Christmas and a happy new year

[@susanschuck8124]

Go Robbie! All your videos are great!

[@fabricandflowers83]

Your giving me spring fever. I also have Queen of Sweden and she is way taller than advertised. It is my favorite David Austin rose
