I hope you never stop doing youtube videos. I want to see how your garden evolves over the next decade, trees getting bigger, more shade, etc.❤

[@ruthlarson6334]

The music chosen to marry with Laura’s garden cleanup seemed to match her mood perfectly….quiet joy!❤

[@pomme800]

I loved the music too, very uplifting..your description was perfect❣

[@jerriecook6908]

I liked it as well. I love it when it's a soft, almost quiet music. It adds to the video. Some of the channels I follow play their music loud or their choice of music is distracting

[@teriparrish]

Harvest videos and clean up videos, I could literally watch for an hour in real time.

[@pomme800]

Thank you!..I love learning new words🤗

[@Keep__moving__forward]

I keep saying I just wanna be outside and doing things and somehow in my mind I feel like I can’t because it’s cold. Watching your videos is motivating me to just throw on some warm layers and get out there and do a few projects. It will definitely make me alot happier to be working the garden space and getting a head start on springs projects!

[@heatherwoods5703]

In colder climates like SE WI, doing little outdoor projects are a great way to get in some "gardening" when planting flowers is still months away! 😅

[@SusanA-yh2vk]

I feel the same way. I have seasonal depression and it can be hard to just get up off the sofa. Watching Laura helps a little.

Bwahahahaha I see wild anise under tables this year as the volunteer plant that sprouts ...who's with me lol😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@sherylemoore8626]

I have found it to reseed with something nearing wild abandon! Still a great plant, especially for the cottage garden.

[@mikej70]

I got a lot of free agastache at the end of the season I don't cut it back til it regrow in the spring I heard that if you leave the foliage it will come back better it insulates the plant in winter. AGASTACHE IS A GREAT HUMMINGBIRD AND POLLINATOR PLANT

[@Blake.Cooper]

Thank you for teaching me how to sow seeds. I follow each step closely and even try to grow the same varieties you do! You and Aaron are like "friends in my head".

I love the music with watching you clean the flower beds. I have learned so much from you about gardening. I also appreciate how you use tools that help make the work a little more manageable. I am a Felco covert. I really appreciate being able to get them for a lefty. Listening to you is like having a conversation with a friend. You are such an inspiration.

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

I feel your excitement!! The whole time you were working in your garden, I kept thinking that I bet Laura would love to just kick off her shoes,shed the jacket, lay down in the grass, take some deep breaths, and just relax. I have a vision of you throwing your arms wide,laughing, and saying bring on spring. 😊❤ I know you like downtime (and everyone needs it), but you LOVE working in your gardens.❤ I am excited to see what you and Aaron have in store for us this year!!

[@lorrainel2314]

There is nothing more satisfying than a garden clean up 🌱

[@natecook1661]

Anise hyssop is an absolute powerhouse in the garden. Bumblebees and finches both flock to mine. It’s a gorgeous color combo too. I like to pinch mine back for a fuller look.

[@heatherwoods5703]

And, I think I read they're deer resistant, which is huge for me! I was looking at them in my seed catalog, and this video confirms it!

[@denisem6754]

And they happily survive zone 5b in pots, reblooming every year!

[@ProudCanadian-vv6bk]

​@denisem6754 do you bring them in a garage or anything over winter?

[@susiefrederickson660]

Totally agree! I love hyssop! Deer pressure in my area is real and they have never touched any of the hyssop varieties I’ve grown.

[@denisem6754]

I have been watching you since you lived at your other smaller house. And I am so blessed to have found you. ❤ Even if we are at different zones. I have learned so much from you. And I enjoy watching all your videos. Thank you Laura,Aaron and your amazing crew for all you do!! ❤️ God bless you!❤

[@backyardgrocerygarden]

Love that you’re planting hyssop! I noticed that the Psalms talks about using hyssop for cleansing, so I thought it would be something fun to remind me of the word while in the garden. Looking forward to seeing your updates of them in the garden.

[@jaznjaimee]

So gratifying seeing you cut back and clean up dead shrubs, etc. looks great!!! You make it look so easy but by the color of your rosie cheeks, you must have worked hard. Thank you for sharing your garden and family with us!!! ✨

[@greenrockgarden2851]

I will NEVER have a garden without the anise hyssop! Such a great plant. Hours and hours of entertainment with pollinators! I’m 5’2”, and my anise hyssop grows to my shoulders. I’ve had them several years if the age of the plant makes a difference.

[@summerofstacey6676]

Did you start yours from seed? I thought the seeds had to have cold stratification, (according to my seed packet instructions) but Laura didn’t mention it. Thoughts?

[@greenrockgarden2851]

@@summerofstacey6676 no. I got mine as a small plant at a local nursery. I do have seeds that I can start. I will update you on the germination. I wouldn’t mind adding a few more to my garden this season.

[@kaylalowery3164]

Haha I knew you wouldn’t wait to trim those roses. This kind of work makes spring not seem so far away!! ❤

[@katherinelara1801]

Laura!! Knee pads will change your life! Lol I switched from kneeling pads a few years ago and will never look back.. no more carrying it around everywhere, having to move it every time you move..... Seriously, it's a great time-saver, and I know you're all about efficiency! 😄

Such beautiful music during the flower bed cleanup.

[@Britbabe53]

I've posted this comment a few times on fungus gnats, but get yourself a Cape Sundew plant, they are wondrous to look at and eat gnats like crazy. Our gnat problem has been totally erradicated. Thanks so much for tutorial on cutting back!

[@pollytiks3885]

This was the perfect combination - clean up with great musical accompaniment. Sounded very Tim Janis. Gave me the motivation to get after my mangy little garden. Kitties are living their best lives and things are getting prepared for spring. Thanks for the best way to start the day!

[@paulastafford1642]

I'm so excited for spring to come too. I'm glad to see you prune a lot of the same plants I have, now I know I can prune my russian sage, hydrangeas, lavender, hibiscus and roses. Yay! I love watching you prune. It is so satisfying. See you next time. ❤

Hyssop was the plant of the year a few years ago. I learned to do many things with it at that time. Great tea and used with other spices as a rub.

[@rosewolfe9606]

So fun that you're starting to do more medicinal planting. A lot of people donxt know that most of the beautiful plants we grow in our borders are also medicinal. Ive been teaching myself herbalism for the last few years. I love snake oil 😂.

[@cl5470]

Yeah, most of it is snake oil. Plants that actually have medical properties are just called medicine.

[@carlas872]

I love, love, love Blue Fortune agastache! Pollinators love it. Can't wait to see how this variety does for Laura.

[@ashleyclements4292]

I am in the same child stage as you! I can't wait, my 3yo and almost 2yo can follow directions better, they don't make a mad dash for the road, they don't put everything in their mouths. They show an interest in helping in the gardens. I am thinking of making them a little garden section like you made Benjamin that they have total control over with supervision of course. I am ready for sunshine! Michigan has been a blanket of gray for a solid month.

No spring cleanup in Michigan yet lol-I just spent an hour shoveling and it’s still coming down. Plus I have so much clay I can’t risk compacting the soil when it is wet. Love seeing your sunshine-it’s looks wonderful. 😊

[@marky3131]

We love Anise Hyssop. The pollinators adore this native plant. We plant the straight native plant. Depending on where they are we cut the plant in the spring to keep it shorter which also causes more flowers. Thanks for focusing on this native plant.

[@stephanieverschuur6089]

Instead of the venus fly trap, try drosera/sundew. That works great for me to help with the fungus gnats, since those are sticky😊

[@refebure]

Was about to suggest this! They're AWESOME at trapping fungus gnats. Pinguiculas are also great. Bonus points for their pretty flowers!

[@lizshoemaker8713]

I feel like I’ve been trying to encourage you for YEARS to grow Anise Hyssop, I’ve almost even sent you seeds a few times 😅. So glad you’re finally starting some from seed. Anise Hyssop is absolutely wonderful in custard based desserts! I would highly recommend making vanilla ice cream and infusing the cream with anise hyssop prior to making it. Top with some fresh peaches… YUM!!!

You probably already know this but on the tradescantia....I worked at a greenhouse for 10 years and that particular plant was one that we always pinched back continuously to keep the center of the plant full. The more we cut back, the more fuller it became. Just an FYI. Live your videos!!

Oh this was so nice and fun to see. I've been struggling this winter with seasonal depression and my anxiety gets worse with the dull days and I'm so ready for spring. We bought our house last spring so this year we're going to clear out, re-mulch, and plant more in our new flower beds and both my husband and I are so excited. We have some 50s coming up this week here in Ohio so I'm hoping to get some clean up done as well, and to just feel the sun on my skin again.

Agastache Apache Sunset is an amazing plant. The blooms are trumpet shape in sunset colors, naturally. It is always full of pollinators and humming birds. It has constant blooms until killing frost. The leaves are thin with a gray/blue/green color. When you brush against it, it smells like ROOTBEER! Good for tea. I've had several years of success in my yard. I'm growing more for the church flower garden with seeds I got from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.

Minnesota is also getting temps in the mid 40's to 50, and plants that should be staying dormant is awakening already with green growth. The air even smells like SPRING here! The trouble with perennials breaking dormancy far too early in zone 4 is that temps won't stay consistently mild until May and a cold snap will kill off the new growth. The average high for Minnesota right now is 25 F. Interesting days we garden in, that's for sure!

[@sherylemoore8626]

Anise Hyssop is a great plant in so many ways! I have had it in my front bed for close to 20 years from one purchased plant. It is so hardy here in 7a and reseeds readily, a bit too readily sometimes. It grows 4 to 5 feet tall in my front flower bed. I often cut it back to be able to see out the front porch! The marvelous part is the gold finches love it not to mention the bees and butterflies. It provides summer, fall and winter interest in the garden. I let them stand for the winter and the gold finches always visit and enjoy the treat. I am envious of your roses. Mine seem to lose most their leaves in the winter, I am not sure why. They leaf back out in the spring. I am excited to see your gardens mature and to experience all the inspiration you bring to each and every video. Simply marvelous.

[@jeanbrewer576]
