Just a inspiring video today
I enjoy your videos so much. As a gardener, there’s always a piece of information that’s new to me. OT… I love your “carhart” type jacket. Where did you purchase it!
Love the clouds 30:47
Love a clean up vlog❤
Another great wake up work-a-long vicariously!😂
By the way, sky at 30.51 STUNNING!!!
I notice you’ve been trying new clothes . The different colors and styles . You look good in anything . What made you change . You show is absolutely amazing . Been with you since the beginning .
Always seem to pickup new bits and pieces or reminders!😊 LOVE the new pine! Looking forward to the other 2! Russell seemed to say hey I want more of your attention. Love how he enjoys just hanging out with you!! ❤❤❤
Laura and Aaron, were you guys able to walk through the farm and choose the big trees that you wanted? I imagine that would’ve been difficult especially if the farm was overgrown given the size of the trees you all have rescued.
Happy Spring Equinox! 🌷🌱🌷It’s a gorgeous day in my neck of the woods Virginia ❤
Laura, it’s fun to watch Russell be in the garden with you. He was watching the shadow on the wall of you cutting the hydrangeas.. I also have that black hookah and it comes back every year however, mine doesn’t get very big. Is there anything I can do to have a grow more?
For the hellebores close together where one's blooming and one's far behind, I think the one behind is right in front of your heat pump so if it's anything like my heat pump, it's spewing cold air all the time and maybe that hellebore thinks it's still earlier in winter because of that?
Bom dia meu viagem praia 🏖️ de vc bem jardim saudades
I’m addicted to the tree farming. I am so addicted to the tree game! Imagine if every single neighbor planted trees!
Putting fertilizer in a bucket instead of sack is way easier while spreading. It hold the shape and has proper handle.
Thank you for showing the clean up videos. It inspires me to get out and clean up my flowerbeds.
Hi Laura 👋🏽 quick question, why is it that when I prune my hydrangeas the stem that’s left on the plant that was green now turns brown and dies? Am I pruning wrong or do you think that stem was already dying I just speed up the process? My 3 yr old daughter and I just love watching your videos together and we both say bye at the end of every video 😅🥰
Thank you for your videos. I'm nearly 80 and yet continue to learn form you
Question: I purchased Bonide's systemic drench for my ash, lilacs and birches. But noticed it said it was for roses. Is this the wrong drench? Can I use it on my trees? Thanks
Have you ever wondered how those beautiful flowers took their name and what does actually their name means?
We all know them as hellebores and some by their botanical name “helleborus”
This Latin name derives from an ancient Hellenic🇬🇷 name: ελλέβορος!
Ελλέβορος pronounced as “Ellévoros” in Hellenic and adopted in Latin as Helleborus.
The name and the history of this beautiful plant is also fascinating!
Hellebore means “terrible food”
Ελλέβορος
Ellévoros
έλλερα + βόρος
éllera + vòros (< verb βιβρώσκω/vivròsko meaning eating)
terrible to eat!
Not because the flowers were eatable or they had a delicious taste but because if you ate them this would have terrible effects on you!!!
Even though they are beautiful plants and the only ones to bloom in mid-winter, giving colour to our gardens when all other plants are hibernating, it’s a fact that Hellebores are very poisonous plants!
Some of their species also smell very bad!
Hellebores are poisonous for pets and even for humans! Consuming hellebore parts can cause to humans symptoms similar to poisoning.
As I’ve said the term hellebore derives from Hellenic🇬🇷
What caused our ancestors to give such a name to a plant is the following story:
In ancient times Hellas🇬🇷 (as many other nations) was not a unified nation.
Each City-State was fighting against other City-States for dominion over the lands and also the Aegean Sea.
In one of those civil battles between two City-Staes hellebore played a major role!
The army of one City-State was besieging another city but their City-walls were so great and they couldn’t overtake them!
They surrounded the city trying to forced the people to come out for a fight but the city was well prepared, with food and water and their soldiers were pushing away the army attacking them…
Thinking about a solution to their problems, they found out the poisoning properties of one plant native to the Hellenic nature.
They took many hellebore plants and they threw them in the water reservoir, poisoning the water source of the city!
In a couple of days the whole city’s population had poisoning symptoms as stomachache, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea… etc
By neutralising the defending army like this, the attacking army managed to overcome the walls of the city and win this battle!
Hellebores were also used in practice medicine as antidote against cancer and other illnesses.
Curious, do you turn and compost all your garden waste and use it on property?
Just a thought…put a hedge of catmint in front of the limelight, it would be beautiful 😍
My lungwort gets devoured by snails- you obviously dońt suffer from those destructive buggers
Laura will you ever try to plant a hedge of yew instead of boxwood?
We are so envious of your beautiful moisture! Dry and windy is our weather this year
Laura what kind of boxwood are the 4 around the circle planter? Do they need pruning or do they grow in a globe shape on their own? Thank you Laura.
Good job Laura thanks for sharing
those 2 birds are like sweeet! look what laura and aaron just got in!!
Laura the west side area is my favorite area of your house gardens. It’s so peaceful 🙏
Russell is so adorable.
If the hydrangea needs lots of sunlight why did you plant those on the west side under a tree? This year will there be less flower beds consisting of nothing but mulch?
I heard hellebores will grow anywhere, even in a crack in the wall. Love the clean up🍀💗✌️ satisfying as hellebores
