Organizing Around the Greenhouse & Prepping Potted Plants for Winter! 🌿💚❄️ // Garden Answer

[@edithp.7213]

Please don’t worry about whether or not you should show what you’re working on. I find everything y’all do interesting and watch every episode you publish. You’re my favorite channel 💕

[@danayoung418]

I am really loving the Cheddar thriller and spiller you had planted in that beautiful concrete pot! 🤣🥰🐈

[@natashawilliams2575]

Probably my favorite part, too! Kept rewinding the video to rewatch

[@mollynickerson]

Yes! Hilarious! Around the 6 minute mark 🤣

[@tracyfutscher3138]

So funny!!

[@buckeyejen1076]

I wasn’t even paying attention to what Laura was saying. I just kept watching Cheddar and wondering what he thought was so interesting.

[@valeriehowden471]

Cheddar may have found his new favorite litter box.

[@tracymiller1054]

Hahahah Cat in a Pot at 5:50 🤣 Laughed so hard... no head or body, just a rear end and a tail. Cat on a pole at 8:37 I love that he makes an appearance in almost every video. And a Benjamin cameo 😊 He is so cute..... Everything looks great all organized and spiffed up - that is always such a great feeling

[@AnnaDunlap247Rolltide]

Thanks for the time stamps! Russell is by far my favorite Easter egg to find and I saw him on the pole but didn't see him in the pot😻

[@kelleywright486]

The funniest part about Russell was that Laura had no idea he was back there mooning us!🤣😳

[@tracymiller1054]

@@kelleywright486 Right?? I keep going back and watching it, sitting here by myself with my coffee laughing my head off.

[@pennydyck8855]

I’m trying to analyze what it is about GA that we all love so much, and I think I hit on it today! It’s your complete lack of stress that is so encouraging. All those plants sitting there I would have been panicking and stressing and not enjoying. But you just relax and take it easy and know that you have confidence in your own ability to winter them over, and if not you still don’t choose stress. That is such an encouragement to me to keep on gardening.

[@lisaburnette6850]

It’s an all around stress reliever for me... there is so much negativity around GA has none of that. Not to mention the quality of the videos, sound, content, filming, the whole family it’s just a really nice place to visit. Laura could film paint drying and I would watch!

[@Edu_Kate]

That's because we don't have space to overwinter plants and we bought them with our precious dollars so can't afford to lose a one. I was panicked several weeks ago trying to get several shrubs and perennials planted before winter. Now I can leisurely take my time cleaning up spent flowers, mainly due to our unusually slow approach to winter this year. I can't wait until next year to see my shrubs grow. Blueberries, 'Bloomstruck' hydrangeas, grasses and perennials.

[@Daymickey]

I wonder what “tired Laura” looks like 🤔 in my 5 years of watching this channel I don’t think I’ve ever seen her. 🤣 Even while pregnant, she wasn’t tired, she was inconvenienced to not be able to bend down or do heavy lifting as much. She’s the real life energizer bunny! 💪🏽

[@ajgem5467]

It looked so good! You are such a rockstar!! You always think “oh they won’t want to watch this” but we do!! I don’t know this stuff, so anything you show is a learning lesson for me. Thank you for sharing and opening my eyes to the things to do! Also, side note, the arbs look AMAZING!!

[@cynthiamillentree4886]

I noticed those Arbs looking good also. They are looking forward to the cooler days ahead.

[@deezahm9143]

🧡🍂Good morning to all. It’s so great to see the Laura and Russell and Cheddar organizing the plants and pots. But first, coffee. Enjoy a safe and happy day everyone 🤗🍁🦃

[@maxinemann2490]

I'm helping my daughter with new landscaping at her home. While at a local nursery, I HAD to check out the clearance. I managed to pick up 12 hostas for $3.75 each.....winner, winner, chicken dinner!!! She has a large shaded area and they hardly made a dent but man I couldn't pass that deal up.

[@wanitagons4269]

Isn’t it amazing how spaces just swallow up plants 🌱 🙈 But what a lovely thing to do with your daughter! Enjoy!

[@patriciacole8773]

When amazing things like that happen I just have to think it’s God’s way of showing us His love for us specifically.

[@mollypitcher9380]

Good girl on your shopping deals!!!

[@autumnelaines]

That feeling when you could landscape your whole yard with just the perennials Laura is over wintering 🤣🤣🤣 that’s city life for you though! Thanks for showing us your stash. The plants look so lush all snuggled up for winter.

[@beckycartledge9719]

She has a better selection than my local garden center!

[@lynlijalysbalderdottir4563]

I find it fun to watch Laura do things I’ve been needing to do for years. Gives me motivation to get moving on these projects. Thanks for the inspiration to actually get them done.

[@jcking6785]

No matter what the specific thing(s) being organized, I love seeing the before and after. I find it motivating to get my own mess straightened up, so thank you for that! ♥️

[@indigoduce]

I love all the great information and gardening tips, but what I appreciate most is that your voice is very pleasant and soothing to listen to.

[@shehe2001]

we changed to wintertime here in Germany/Europe ....so i can enjoy your videos an hour earlier than usually 💃💃💃💃🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@kaylac3367]

Are you kidding! We love to see your organization! Loaded with good information! 😁

[@cynthiamillentree4886]

Laura you cleaned house today and it looks soooo good! I also love the fact that you show the realism of gardening and that everything is not always in its place just yet. I learned a lot about the winter over of plants today, and truly feel confident now, so when I catch those deals I can do the same without driving myself crazy for a season of where the plant should go. Your space is amazing, and ready to learn more. Thanks for sharing your gardening world.

[@gigizaino8805]

So inspirational! I need to get my organization groove on. Did anyone else realize Benjamin did the math of 3x5? "It's 15 feet tall" your kid is brilliant Laura 😃🥰🙏

[@katherinelarini8514]

when I hurt from working a long day in the garden, the next day I veg all day on the couch... Laura spends the next day working all the harder... I guess that's the difference between being 30 something and being 70 something... but, thanks so much for bringing back my lifelong joy in gardening - I was truly missing it!!!

[@artistapprentice7021]

It is so hard when the body doesn’t want to cooperate with our plans. My mind keeps telling me I’m 30, but the candles tell me I’m 60 something. Kudos to you for getting out there!

[@mariafolch8067]

Timely video. Thanks for sharing your ideas on overwintering. That's exactly what I am doing this week end. Your energy is infectious and goes through this channel. 🤣🤣🤣

Good morning, Laura ☕️ Great job. There’s something so satisfying about a button-uped project. 🙌🏻 Thanks for the over wintering tips! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

[@Passionproject100]

Great job Benjamin!!!! He’s totally ready for Benjamin-taking-the-reins Fridays! Haha could you imagine the cuteness of seeing Benjamin taking over the camera for an entire episode.

[@explaincauseidontgetit3294]

Your channel is the MOST consistent with adding in snapshots or updates while you’re talking about a certain topics. I love that! Like the topiaries, I really wanted to know what cheap was and when I saw, $39.99 I got my answer! So many good things about your channel, this is just one small part!

[@laraemitchell9064]

I got here earlier than usual! It’s so nice to see your videos so promptly ever day. It makes my day start off on a bright and positive note! And seeing your beautiful garden is so cheerful! All the beautiful plants in containers. Looks like an extension of the garden center. 💚💚💚

[@janethickey5162]

This was important for me to know how/what to “winter over”.

[@donniellecarney7067]

I have to say, and hope I dont sound like a total weirdo, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I truly enjoy watching, you all are such an inspiration. I have done so much to my yard because of you, my neighbors tell me all the time how beautiful my yard is and its all because of you all. Thank you for all you do!! Ps, you could post about anything, and we GA fans would be here watching every second.

[@LisaG843]

I learned what my marigolds need that I planted from seed. Thanks for the info. You never know the tidbits of information you provide for your viewers. Also inspiring to "button-up" a few projects of my own.

Keep on noticing how big Benjamin is growing! I love how you and Aaron never talk down to him and ask him his opinions, and let him know that he is being heard🤗 Thank you for sharing your love of gardening, decorating, cooking, and your beautiful family with us❤️

I'm aching and exhausted just watching you!! Love from North Wales UK

[@PerfectPride]

What a lovely Russel plant you have in that basket weave container! It seems to be really flourishing this time of year. 😂

[@peggyfleming656]

You hit the mark again this morning. I am trying to figure out what I can still get into the ground and how I can winter over the remainder in their nursery pots. Thanks for the tip on the bags of soil. I usually cover them with leaves, but the bags of soil around the edges of my hoard will surely help things survive the winter! We have a stretch of warm days, too, so I will be cleaning, organizing and putting things to bed for the winter as well as planting bulbs! Thanks for keeping me on task once again!

[@ecampbell5837]

I use straw as well. Some on top of pots, also can stack square bails around a grouping of pots.

[@RC-mc6rc]

Camera shot on topiaries, Laura says “how much did I pay for these?” I could hear everyone saying 40 bucks!😂🤣😆

Yes, always interesting Laura. Love watching you every day. Thank you!!

Looks great! Love that Russell is always around to help out

[@judyrhine234]

Always a pleasure. Doesn’t mater what you do. I have kidney failure and am limited to working small amounts of time. I was always in my garden from sun up to dusk. I miss it so much. I love watching you and the family plant and grow beautiful flowers and a cute little girl and boy.❤️❤️❤️ Organizing is part of the process. Love seeing it.

[@jamieboy116]

Good Morning!!! Watching how you cleaned up around the greenhouse and moved the tables around had my back hurting for you. It does look so much better, I couldn’t imagine having to worry about a plant inventory like yours. Love these early videos!!

[@OMGitsaClaire]

We got our first frost last night here where I live with lows in the upper 20’s for the next few days (that’s like -2°C) so my weekend is going to be in cleanup mode. I have an entire mailbox covered in morning glories to disentangle. It’s nice to see those little buttoning up for the winter types of chores. It’s part of the seasonal rhythm of gardening because without winter there is no spring.

[@GracieLouYT]

I, like most viewers of GA, love every video for different reasons. These chore-type organizing videos, however, are some of the most satisfying. There's nothing like living vicariously through a screen to feel satisfied with work that isn't yours! 😅 Thank you for sharing!

[@corvida9348]

Watched first thing this morning, as usual. I don't believe it at all that you speed up the tape. I think you are just using your super powers!!! You mention that outside pots need to be watered...even if there's snow on them or if they're frozen? LOVED watching Cheddar growing out of the pot. You are a true inspiration. (My husband is getting sick of hearing about what Laura is doing.)

[@GardenKath]

No - Laura is speaking from her experience in her climate. If you’re in a cold zone that stays frozen all winter, you do not need to water. If you’re in a zone that gets regular snows that melt before the next snowfall, you do not need to water (unless it’s an exceptionally dry and mild winter). If you’re in a zone that gets periodic rain, you do not need to water (again, unless it’s an exceptionally dry winter). As long as they’re getting some kind of moisture every 4-6 weeks they’re fine.

[@corvida9348]

@@GardenKath Thank you so much for the reply!

[@Sisteryoda1440]

There is something so energizing about getting everything sorted out and organized. It changes the energy of the area. I like to think it’s because the plants feel cared for as they settle in for a winter’s nap.

[@GayatriMurali]

So satisfying watching you organise, Laura. Gives me the confidence to tackle stuff in my own garden which otherwise will get neglected due to my procrastination. Where I live ,it is going to be Summer very soon. Looking forward to lush growth. I have mild wet winter so no winter overing plants or tidy the garden. Plants just go dormant but will still look good. I cannot imagine the amount of work to be done during fall in preparation for winter. I learn from every video of yours. Keep it coming. :)

[@carolhettinger3696]

Loved this motivation video. I need a push to get things like this done.

[@suebohn5573]

Fun video, I love when I get projects like that done. My favorite part was in the beginning as Laura was talking the cat was behind her upside down in the flower pot😂.

[@lisaminer6474]

The idea of organizing, cleaning and buttoning up at the end of the season seems such a daunting task but is so satisfying in the end. Love how everything looks so tidy and attended to. Never worry about whether these videos are appreciated Laura! They are actually incredibly motivating and inspiring! My husband has been working long hours on a project at work so I’ve had to manage all the inside and outside work this Fall myself. So as the week is coming to an end, I’ve been feeling tired and run down but now feel a renewed sense of “I need to get this done before the snow flies!” and feel motivated to just power through! Thank you for that Laura! You are a treasure!

[@stewartnelson3367]

Hi Lisa how are you doing?

[@cinnzimm6778]

Loved this, very satisfying. Question; might you store some of your large pots in the greenhouse underneath the tables? That way they’d be accessible late winter, early spring to plant up in preparation to move out for display…a bit more protection for them as well.

[@marisaportera455]

The arbs by the greenhouse got huge! Looks like they put on a ton of growth this year and have formed a beautiful green wall.

[@judithjohnson2111]

Was thinking the same thing. They are beautiful wind break.

It’s always so satisfying to see an area you enjoy working or being in, cleaned and tidied up. I joke with my brother that until my lawns are mowed and my shop is swept and tidy- I can think straight. I need the calm of order before I can start a new project. Oh and a cup of coffee. Lol
