So glad to see your new video!
You've got a lot more growth than we do. My dafs aren't even up yet! Have you considered just adding some smaller horizontal trellises for the climbing rose?
Thanks for sharing! Iām in Southern NJ also, and have been looking at all of your past videos. Do your heuchera come back well each year? I absolutely love them, but have not had good luck with them staying nice looking throughout summerā¦particularly the wild rose and wildberry variety. These in particular also do not seem to come back strong the next year. Just wondering how yours have done.
That sink looks like the one I had growing up as a kid in my house. I know it's old because we lived in an old house and had a cast iron tub too. Like all your gardening plans.
Love your videos and the size of your garden. I haven't watched your videos in a long time (shame on me).
I'm starting a redo in my front and back yard,we just took down a tree and had the stump and some of the roots ground out. The roots were growing on the top of the lawn and made it difficult to mow and the tree was dying in sections, I'm so glad it's gone, I get to start from scratch and I think I'm going to go through some of your videos and get some ideas from you. Thanks a lot for being an inspiration šš„
Donāt put holes in your siding for the sake of a plant. I know you want it a certain way but the house will outlive your rose.
Lucky you!! The chipmunks have their way with my daffodil bulbs.šæš¤Ø
I love the idea of your raised bed gardens being between the greenhouse and garage. Love the line about the ornamental plum-"Straight up dead" A realistic gardener! Love your videos!
In your lawn I would suggest crocus tommisinisnus Small daffodils also work well
So nice to see someone local on here. Looking forward to following you this season, Iāve got lots of questions.
Oh my your yard is starting to come to life. Yea that means Spring is coming. Thank you for the walk around your yard. I love your sink and I can't wait to see what you do with it. So nice to see you again. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. Your friend from Williamstown.
I love hellebores too and have added a few this year alsoā¦we know Spring is on its way !š
You have done a lovely job and have such a good eye for things. Enjoyed!
Beautiful! Remind me did you build or buy your raised beds?
Love hellebores, too!
I'm zone 5B, and mine r blooming. So exciting!
Hi Laura, love ur garden. Could you please do tutorial video about making a crossing wires on ur vinyl fence for climbing vines ? Thanks.
Day, night, it doesn't matter. We always enjoy the videos.
Love, love your garden. It's so good to have you back making videos. I enjoy your great ideas. Keep on making these videos. I get encouraged by you.
I also love the idea of putting the raised beds near the greenhouse! Oh my goodness ! You lucky girl !ā¦..the old sink is a dream find of mine! We rented a very old home from my grandma many years ago and I had one in the kitchen. It had the drain thingys on both sides. Ugh I wish I had it now!!!!!
It was really hard to hear you at times due to the wind, may I suggest you cover your microphone when itās windy. It was very hard to follow what you were saying.
I have exactly the same sink installed under my stairs that go up to my FROG. Hubs happened to have it at his farmā¦..he is a bit of a hoarder and I am glad he has a place to store his treasures but lets me shop his store.
Laura, I have missed you. Squirrels enjoyed my tulipsā¦..stinkers. Squirrel stew?
I am trying to create a hellebore colony. People have told me they reseed but I have not had that happen š¢
I enjoyed the update. What are thinking of doing in place of the raised beds if you move them to the new location? Also, I love the front of your house. How about an update of the front at this time of the year?
Your vision of the gardens being over by the green house will look great. I have lots of clover in my lawn and the woodchucks, rabbits were loving it last spring and never touched my garden until we got the drought and then that was it. They went after anything they could. I love hellebores.
Laura, I love the idea of moving the raised beds between the 2 garden structures. I also noticed how sunny that area was during this video, so itās perfect! The hellebores are exquisite. My garden is really starting to wake up here in Georgia. I have Hosta coming up along with my Lily of the Valley and Crocus; imagine that! And the pollen is already full force (get busy one time š). I canāt wait to see what you and Rock Star Marc do with that sink. Itās going to be a fun Season!
like the idea of moving your raised beds next to the green house. i think it would look good
but what ideas to you have for in front of your shed
Your garden is looking great. It's so exciting when bulbs begin to bloom and there is a hint of spring. I like the idea of moving the raised beds to the area between the greenhouse and the shed – a lot of work, but there will be more sun. You could plant small boxwoods as a border to "hide" the wooden structures of the raised bed, but they are not unattractive. I enjoy your videos so much!
Itās always fun to make changes to the garden. Iāve already made my changes this year since itās been so unseasonably warm here in GA. My changes were mostly a lot of hardscaping (decorative block raised flower beds & expanding a couple, as well.) I also moved a couple of very, young trees to different locations. I got tickled when I saw you had already started a plant stash in one of your raised beds. Girl, Ive already started ācollectingā a few new plants, tooā¦just waiting for spring to be planted! Lol Love your idea of moving your raised beds between the greenhouse & garden shed.Perfect locationā¦they just belong there.
Hi š getting excited for spring š I also like to leave the garden clean up till spring too the bird's love the seeds to my cone flower and the gardens give so much winter interest especially when it snows. I like the idea of the vegetable garden being near the shed and greenhouses. Enjoy your garden and creativity as I know I sure will be enjoying mine.
The sink is fabulous, thank you for postingā¦I like your garden
That sink is going to be perfect in he greenhouse!!!
Morning Laura – loved seeing your early spring garden. Enjoyed how you inserted the photographs of some of the plants in their summer beauty.
What is your favorite boxwood to use in your garden?
Instead of screws in your beautiful siding, how about training the canes up over your window and attaching to the trim. Shame to start punching holes in your siding which will be there long after the rose.
I think moving the raised beds between the structures is a great idea, as someone who spent the last year reorganizing the structure of my potager I know how much work it is but it's been so worth it.
I love my Hellebores ,this year they came out so beautifully.Iām looking forward to this growing season & I look forward to see what you do this season.Have a great day Laura
I always LOVE your videos!
The greenhouse has been a great addition to the garden. You can pop up those raised beds with a crow bar and move them to the new spot. To see if you like the look and if you don't, just put them back. Especially if the soil is a bit frozen it shouldn't collapse into a mess.
