My husband is a fireman, and he's been working a double fatality accident all morning and called to tell me about it, I said a prayer and returned to watching you guys. I doubt that you know how much peace you bring to various lives that are quite different from family to family. Life is so fragile, and the bright spots are even more precious for many reasons, I'm here to remind you, yet again, just how important you are in this world. ❤️
I absolutely agree!
Prayers for the best of all concerned, praying for hearts to heal.
Prayers for the families and the responders of this accident. :(
Seeing the inside of the flower 🌼 shed never gets old! 😀
Thank you. This was extremely helpful. I’ve read countless articles about how to care for the blackberries and raspberries I impulsively purchased last year. This made all that information make sense. I’m definitely a visual learner. 😂 the number of times over said “oooooooohhhhh. Okay. I get it now” watching your videos is immeasurable. ❤😊
Yes Shannon I'm a visual learner , makes it so much easier for me ! Have a good fellow gardener !!
Same here !
I saw all those willow branches coiled in the back of the gator and thought “what could we do with those”? This past fall during a hurricane a neighbours willow tree fell into my yard. I was upset at the time but when I had it cut down I saved a bunch of the branches that fit perfectly into the Christmas decor I was planning. I call that a serendipitous calamity!!
Laura you are such a hard worker. You should be really proud of all your and Aaron’s dedication and fortitude. The goodness shines out from you and I really enjoy watching you.
Good morning Laura! Enjoyed the pruning day. You are an inspiration to us all...a little bit everyday gets the jobs done!!! Hugs from N.C..❤️
Trimming my raspberries today, too. Thx for the tips! Perfect timing!
That back corner where you guys took out the triangle garden with the rusty arbor/gate by the driveway is looking SO much better! Good call on reorganizing that space- and looking forward to watching it develop!
Good morning, Laura ☕️ I cannot believe how those raspberries spread 😳wow! I’m excited for when you get to the grapes. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Each year, i look forward to the pruning videos, i love them, they're like a benchmark in time for me. Always there because there's always something that needs pruning ! That predictability is nice.
Looking forward to the next one !
Hi Laura, one question, one observation: You said that if you cut the plants all the way down, you sacrifice some fruit for the season. Surely, if you do that every year, you're never going to have maximum yield? Also, I must have a very old/weird variety of blackberry, because the canes never stop bearing fruit. I only trim back canes that hang over the lawn, preventing us from mowing. We get a massive haul each year, all from one plant. I'm not complaining :-)
A video today with lots of great advice for all of us. I was think about having raspberries this year so l know how to care for them now. Your such a inspiring person for us all Laura.
I love how Laura didn't want to get a step ladder out and there is literally one directly in front of her @12:45 ! That is completely my level of motivation on a Monday morning!
The champion vase .. at the back.. hopefully one day she will make a champion flower arrangement.. 😉😉😉👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Laura. My wife and I enjoy your videos and they have sparked many ideas and conversations, so thank you. We were discussing the suckers on Raspberry plants and wondered if we could bury (or mostly bury) a large, metal, bottomless trough to better contain the suckers. (Troughs like your blueberry troughs). This is an official entry in you new WWLD series. (What Would Laura Do).
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 🌞🇺🇸
80's today 🌻⛱️🌻
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
So love those willow branches! Can only imagine what you could make with those!
Good afternoon from Scotland 🌿
That sky!
We planted a ton of raspberries and blackberries last fall, so this video made me so excited for how they might produce in the following years, hopefully we get some fruit out of them this summer too!
I love blackberries. My grandparents had them growing wild along a fence line on their farm. Every time I visited them in the summer when I was a kid, I would pick a dishpan full so my grandma could bake me a cobbler. Now I have my own blackberry bushes of the Triple Crown variety. Mine also hang onto leaves each year. I’ve had no issues with them.
I’m so happy that you live in an area where you can get out there and do some cleanup in the gardens. Here in north Iowa, we just got more snow, a little over 5”. It’s getting nicer everyday, so it will only be a few weeks before I can get out there and clean up mine. We had 3 diseased trees taken out last fall and it damaged some of my flower beds, so I have some moving around of things to make it look better. I love your suggestion on flowers. I live in zone 5 and have a lot of shade. I’m planting hostas, but have lots of deer in my yard, so I’ll be looking for more deer resistant perennials to plant for shade. If I start spraying with deer spray early, it usually helps, but they still eat some of them. I love watching them and if they start eating on them, I send my little dogs out to bark at them. If your seeing a few rabbits, beware, they multiply really fast and you’ve got what they like. Lol.
Oh my goodness! THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!! This is the first video I’ve seen that is EXTREMELY straightforward and INCREDIBLY helpful as I’ve been trying to figure out what in the world I need to do with my red raspberries that came with our house!! (I’ve been completely clueless for 3 years!)
Yes, I ordered raspberries, potted them up because the company did not send them until waaay too late to plant. The labels ended up missing as we continued with some infrastructure projects. I know they were a mix. This helps me to know how to prune them, period! Yay!
Yes, a little bit at a time. We all have so much to accomplish that it can be overwhelming. It's good to just start and have another thing done because it is very satisfying!
Very informative! thank you. Watching you mow down those raspberries awakened the Mom in me to say: "Eye protection, Laura!!" Nice job!!
You read my mind!! I just watched your old video on pruning raspberry last night when I couldn't sleep.
A lot of information on blackberries and pruning. Tree looks good. A productive day.
Thank you Laura, very satisfying seeing your berries cleaning, on a Monday morning! Ready to get some things accomplished today! Again thanks for the inspiration! Whoop whoop! 👍😉😁
Good afternoon from Russia👋🏻Your channel is seriously the best gardening channel out there. Also helped me to find other interesting channels - Linda Vater, Jack Barnwell and Gardening with Creekside 😉Thanks, keep up the good work 🫶🏻
Also try out Huw Richards and Niall Gardens. Both of those channels are super helpful. Lastly Charles Dowding's channel. He focuses on no dig gardening.
Perfect timing. I am going to start raspberries this year so very helpful information.
A thought, frequently we see Paul and Bethany working in the background. We feel like they are family so maybe sometime you could do a Q&A with them or follow a project they are working on. Might be fun to get to know other important members of the GA team.
Yes great video. Always something to do for clean up. Feels great can hardly wait for our snow to go so I can get out for spring. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Raspberies are one of my favorite fruits. I love them.
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Hey Laura could you please link the small, gentle rake? Thanks!
Thank you, Laura!! Such a wealth of information!
Rarely have I felt so seen as when Laura said, "I probably need the pole pruners, but I don't want to go get a step ladder." *Reaches up* "Nah, I'll just get what I can reach with these." Laura is my people ❤️
Great video. You are inspiring all of us to prepare our garden for spring. Have blessed day everyone
I love that you give us the views around your home. You took us all around, which gives us updates on so much more than expected. I enjoy the peace of your hard work.
Good morning, from Suriname, South America
For the fall gold raspberries during the summer, put a shade cloth over the ones you are trying to grow from the little shoots so they don’t get baked
My berries (on mature canes) fry when the temp goes above 100 degrees or so. I’m planning a few overhead structures to allow for shade cloth. I also struggle with yellow jackets and wasps ruining the berries.
Couldn’t something be done with those beautiful branches off of the willow tree. I’m sure you could come up with a beautiful idea.
Good Morning! 🪻I used to have Raspberry bushes. I wish I knew then what I learned this morning! I do love Rasberries & Blackberries!! Maybe I will attempt to grow these berries again with what I have learned watching your very informative videos! I do enjoy all your videos!! 😃✂️🌿❤
I love your weeping willow. When I see all the branches that you cut off I was so envious. Weaving willow branch baskets would have been such a delight.
Good morning 🌞 from Georgia!
Thank you for the video Laura ❣️🤗❤️
Hi Laura
Doing a great job as usual😘
Good morning Laura! Enjoyed the video and the reminder to get some pruning done. I like how you always clean as you go. I like to do the same. 😊
So satisfying 😍 do you tell Paul and Bethany which areas of the garden to not touch because you are going to do videos for those? Being the wonderful people they are, I can imagine that you may wake up one day with videos and projects in mind and then ... tadaaa.... its already been dealt with 👍🏼
You inspire me so much. Feeding day today
Hello Laura! You always give valuable advice. Thank you! Have a nice week😘👍👌💛💙💐
Always look forward to your videos!
Could you make wreath forms with those willow branches? Or baskets? They look prime for a a crafty project!
I have so much to get off of my checklist. I tend to overdo it because I keep thinking as I walk around. I can do this and I overdid it yesterday. 😂Very sore today. Love your videos.
ah! I've never been in the flower shed! It's beautiful!
Could you use those willow branches to weave into a wreath form? If so, could you do a tutorial on it? Thanks
Good morning! Always feels good to get some cleanup done in the landscape! Looking forward to planting in my yard!!
Yes, my blackberry keeps some of its leaves in winter. I’m in Missouri, zone 6b/7a.
Great, inspiring video. I'm getting my Felcos out!
Oh Laura, how about some wreaths made with those willow branches? So tempting, eh? :)
Thank you! I have 1 blackberry, not sure what type, dug up next to another bramble, after it’s second year in the pot, it gave us sweet and tart blackberries last spring!!! I did prune ends…I’ll take a look tomorrow.
Was going to plant raspberries at my new house but after spending a couple hours cleaning up several years worth at my parents house yesterday I'm second guessing the decision 😅
I really love your beds. What is the wire spacing and if you could do it again, what would you change, if anything?!?
I was just at our local garden center this past weekend and spotted some raspberry plants available - I was a little apprehensive to dive into those. Your video may have inspired some confidence in me to try them, hehe! Oh! And I spotted the rock pathway behind you, it looks so good with the mulch! Such a great curve and feel to it!
The canes look really straight and somewhat strong, can you use the canes in some sort of craft or make something with them?
You could make a willow branch wreath form! 13:36
Good morning!!!
Hi 👋 Laura ! Did You know you can stick a twig from Willow in ground and they will start!
Keep the willow to make wreaths for Christmas x
Ur lessons/teaching of growing things are easy to follow ty
This video makes me so excited for spring to get here. I noticed you said you were going to do a grape pruning video here pretty soon but was wondering if you could possibly go into some detail on the full care of grapes. Just bought some for the first time and will be planting come spring but don’t know too much about them.
Willow branches great for wreath making
It was interesting to see how close your new stone path is to the berry area.
It's So Lovely! 💐
Know I live in a different part of the country but our weather seems to be very close. Still haven't been able to get out and prune the apple and peach trees but they are still very young. I hope too use the advice you gave in the last video on pruning, hopefully if the weather improves. The blackberries will need help too. Last year was their first year but they took off, out of the garden and under the fence. Loved your trellis system wish I had room to do that. Keep making those videos...love them.🌿🍎🍏🍃🍃
Great pruning technique!
I love Laura's creative vision and Aaron's 'can-do' attitude on infrastructure. I could spend all day in their garden. This is better than watching BBC's 'Gardener's World'. Credit where it's due!
Good Afternoon Laura wonderful information
Thanks
Margaret Lynch SOUTHERN IRELAND
Nice video sister Your videos are very good, you do a very good garden
Remember back when Aaron gave the Weeping Willow a "Bowl Cut" ???? Would that be appropriate at this time? Instead of removing that big branch?
This video was so satisfying. Thanks! lol
Thanks so much for sharing pruning raspberries I needed to know how to prune them
I feel better and more confident about pruning my berry bushes now :) Thank you
WOW, that was satisfying to watch can only imagine how good it made you feel! Question regarding your compost pile on your new property, do you just left it decompose on its own or do you have a spring burn to get rid of the brushy stuff?
It’s a burn pile. It would take years in such a dry climate to decompose.
Good morning, everyone. Thank you for the information on the berries I just have blackberry's so I'll cut the ones back that need it.❤️
Thank you! I learned so much and I’m getting so excited for Spring. Do you prune blueberry bushes the same way? I bought one last year and celebrated every delicious berry-but don’t know if I should leave it alone or prune it. Thank you!
Just wanna say since you were discussing how much you like the black Hartley structures that I think if you would have gone black it would have disappeared more into the landscape where as your white Hartley “shines like a beacon”
Use the willow branches for supports in your outdoor pots! Wish I could snag some from you for sweet peas!
Make a willow arch with all the branches!
Great information! I live in Nampa, Idaho, a few miles over the border from you and just trimmed all my berries. I am curious about the honey berries you planted in containers last year. I don't remember seeing a harvest video, and you didn't mention them in this video. Did you get any berries last year and will you be pruning those? I planted 3 last year and hoping to have a harvest this year! Always enjoy and look forward to your videos. They are a blessing to me and so many of us who love gardening!
Man, I'm hoping my snow melts so that I can ready myself for growing season. Thanks for the vid. 💪
If the canes are brown cut them down , if they are green leave them in.
Not all of them. Leave 4-5 raspberry canes per crown.
I was out last night (March 1st) at Tractor Supply Store and low and behold GOLDEN RASPBERRIES bare root in a box….with some baby leaves peeping out. They were in a large selection of bare root boxed plants. I immediately thought of Laura and her search for golden raspberries, I thought maybe you have a TSC store near you that might be worth checking out, hopefully it will be worth your time.
Laura, I need a grape video😅 I just planted 2 vines I bought from a nursery. Both are leaving out. I feel clueless on how to trellis them and if I need to prune.
the leaves are medicinal too great tea.
we have lots wild raspberries and some we planted..
Just did mine this past saturday. I actually had blackberry canes that rooted their tips. .all good now
Laura, I've watched you for a very long time. I so appreciate all your great information. I work for an optometrist and it concerns me that you don't wear safety glasses while pruning especially above you. You have no idea how many patients we see on the weekends from doing outdoor chores. I bet you want to see your beautiful children? Please wear protective gear especially on your eyes. I only say this in a very caring way. Peace, Mary
Is it possible to weave a basket from willow whips? I attempted to do some thing with my thornless blackberries yesterday and just tucked them into the fence as I had no clue. Thanks for the timely clue-ing and so GLAD I didn't trim them down.I found the one potted raspberry dead looking and pulled it up from the earth bag to find it was two plants and roots looked good. So I stuck each one into it's own root bag and trimmed the top off - lucky accident to have done something right. Hopefully. Have no idea what kind any of the bushes are - big mistake.
I was just thinking. Could you braid those willow branches into wreaths? Since I know you are always in the market for new projects and tasks!😂😂😂JK!😅
ahhh, cleanup... it always feels so good to get things ready for spring.. we got waylaid with cleanup down here in socal with our weird (and very pretty) SNOW... what the heck? lol.. we usually just keep it up in the mountains where it belongs! 🤣but it's been fun to see... we will have more rain (and some snow in places) this week.. so i just keep waiting to get back out there.. i know other gardeners in areas to the east of us go through a lot worse... we're just spoiled out here 😊 have a good week!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
Hi Laura,
Are you gonna start the composting process this year because you are getting a lot of corbon material these days.
Love your videos! Thank you. We will be working on our raspberry patch in 3 to 4 weeks. We live in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 zone 5
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day 🥰
