Morning! Totally distracted by the cats playing in the background this morning 😂

Russell and Cheddar are hilarious in the background.

Rollin', rollin', rollin' with Russell and Cheddar. Too funny.

I think I spent more time watching the miniature lions rolling around in the background.

Its Russell's and Cheddars show that Laura is in.😅😅

Cheddar & Russell playing under the Weeping Willow tree in the background! So cute 🥺🥰🐈

Good morning! 🌻🐝

Good morning My Garden Answer Groupies. Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 Hurricane Elsa dropped a couple inches of rain 🌧 and minimal wind. Whew! We were lucky 👩‍🌾👍

The two tigers in the background really are stinkin' adowable! 😌

Cats and plants are the perfect way to start my day. I vote for a Russell and Cheddar compilation video!

LOL, win for Russell & Cheddar... oh, the flowers are pretty as well.

Laura says "let me teach you about Hydrangeas" and I've rewound so many times because I keep missing what is said because I keep watching Cheddar and Russel!

Greetings Laura, Aaron and everyone else. Today I’m here on time all the way from London with my cup of fresh peppermint tea!! Yay! 😁

I love how your kitty cat always plays in your videos 😸

I totally had to rewind and start over because I was so distracted by Russell and Cheddar playing behind you! Your kitties need their own channel! 💜💜💜

Cheddar & Russell morning show!! Totally have to watch video twice since it was so cute watching the cats first thing this morning! Let me go freshen my coffee for viewing #2! 😁☕️😍 🐈

Russell living his best life in the background! haha I love it.

The cats are upstaging you and it’s so cute

Good morning! Beautiful hydrangeas! 🌸🌸🌸🌸

You always bring a smile to this old woman's face. This was a very beautiful video and I always learn a lot. You are a very wonderful good hearted person and I thank God for you and pray for you and yours daily. May God always keep you and yours safe.

I love hydrangea season here in Japan. They are everywhere. My neighbor gave me a rooted cutting from one of her pink hydrangeas and I gave it one application of used coffee grounds way back last year and this year the blooms were a gorgeous deep blue!

This is down my alley. I love container planting. I currently have 3 Hydrangeas in pots. One of them is 20 years old. I have had to graduate it up to larger pots as the years progress. I wheel it into the garage every fall and water it off and on then bring it out in the spring. It's my baby since it was bought when my children were babies. It will be a sad day when it decides to leave. I also do the same thing with Hostas' in pots.

Good morning

Hi Russel! Hi Cheddar! Mew!

Russell and Cheddar were almost distracting 😆 I couldn’t decide which to watch you or them

Loving all the cat comments! Love how the cats find you and make themselves known in the background! 😍

The background looks so aesthetically pleasing.

Hydrangeas are my absolute favorite! Ice storm in Texas did some damage to the one by my front door this year but it's come back and that was a bonus! It even gave me two new plants where the lower branches rooted on their own. I've had that one about 5 years.

Good morning! Those planters are gorgeous & the hydrangeas increase the beauty!

The cats are taking all my attention! I guess Russell chasing his own tail is more informative than growing hydrangeas :-)

Kitties under the willow tree! Kitties under the willow tree!!! 😻😻

Thank you for the tips! Hydrangeas are one of my favorites.

Someone is having so much fun under the weeping willow.

There’s just nothing like pretty hydrangeas!🌸

That last planter is everything 🥰

Not sure if it was Cheddar ,but it was so funny when he started playing with his own tail.. 🤣😅😂 as Laura was trying to explain each of the plants... I was so distracted and smiling at the cat I had to rewind and try to focus on what she was saying. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Good to know I'm not alone in the struggle to keep hydrangeas alive. One dead. One given away. And one hanging on by a thread. Fingers crossed.

Well I always learn something new from Laura. Hydrangeas don’t need fertilizer after July. 🤔that’s good to know as I usually spray mine with weekly soluble.

Russell cracks me up at around 4’ ! Could not pay attention anymore Laura! 😂😂😂

Just love watching the kitty cats..so adorable

I was so taken with the beautiful hydrangeas that I didn’t even see Russell and Cheddar. I had to go back and watch the episode again after reading the comments about the cats. Fun!

Same sort of issue with alkaline/clay conditions here in 8b central Texas. Mine are also planted in containers. I've had several people here tell me not to bother growing them, but I can't not! 😍 have killed three hydrangeas so far, but I think I've got the hang of them now. Two Endless Summer that are thriving!

Love russell playing with his tail in the background , love the colors of the hydrangeas..

Sorry Laura 🤣 The cats are a total distractors. I love your cats!!

Love seeing Russell and Cheddar in the background!! Beautiful hydrangeas.

Really love your concrete planters and your table, they go together so well and the hydrangeas are perfect.

The hydrangeas we planted last year are blooming profusely this year. So rewarding. I have learned so much watching your video's. My garden is only two years old and I look up your videos on everything. But, I almost broke my ankle trying to do the "Laura Hop" on a shovel. The way you jump on the shovel with both feet. guess I am still a novice!

I really love that third one!! Such a unique beautiful bloom!!☺️

Such a pretty trio. I think you will have success in the pots.

Now that's my kind of "one plant per pot" 😂

In theatre, we call that "upstaging" 😁

I would love to see a blooper reel. Anyone else? Hands up, who do.

G' morning! 🌞 finally inside to watch at my regular time. Been working hard in the garden super early before work so I've had to watch later... glad to be back on track!

Love the beautiful varieties of hydrangeas in the cool containers!

Cheddar n Russell were entertaining today❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘

Don’t look now, Laura, but your comic duo are trying to upstage you!

You do realize that the cats are the STARS of the show, right?? 😸😸😻😻🥰

Good morning🍁 regarding the Japanese maple I would just cut the upper half with the sparse regrowth. I think the bottom half looks quite good on it’s own, the branches have a nice downward drift…would be a shame to toss that big of a maple 🙏🏻 here in Germany 🍁 are quite expensive this size…and I’ve seen worse 🤣

Laura, thank you for show casing the Proven Winners hydrangeas. Having blooms on new and old wood is pure perfection and I will be checking my local Lowe's for these plants. Have a great day!

Aaron and Laura, I’ve always been an “animal person, “ our family having raised everything from Labs to ostriches, and I loved all of it! With age and the ups and downs of cancer, I can no longer keep domesticated animals, but God graciously put us in a 6 acre forest full of critters on a live creek in north Texas. I started dabbling in gardening, making virtually every mistake you address in your videos, but once I found your channel, the gardening took off! My wonderfully supportive family helped with bringing in new soil, installing drip irrigation, planting, and encouraging me toward interest in my “green babies.” I bought so many four packs, six packs, nine packs 😩. When I discovered your channel mid-May, we started buying Proven Winners and other quality plants. Oh my! It (YOU!) made me believe that maybe I could really do this! 🪴 💪💚 On days when I physically can’t (chemo), your videos entertain, encourage, inspire, and yes, Laura, teach. 😉 Love, love, love! ❤️❤️❤️ My challenge is shade. Trees are a treasure in Texas, and we don’t take any out without serious consideration. I have two pots on either side of my north-facing front door, under a total tree canopy, each with the most pathetic hosta you have ever seen. Is there any succession of plants that I could keep in these pots for interest year around? Zero sun, zone 8. God bless y’all for doing your part to keep alive the America I knew growing up. 🙏❤️🦋 🪴 🇺🇸

That corner is beautiful!! The three pinks go very well.

The joy you bring Laura is like a breath of fresh air! And boy don’t your co-stars try to steal the show! 😂 Carry on boys show her who is really in charge!!

Gorgeous pots. Great tutorial on hydrangeas. Thanks Laura.

Got to see Russell and the Cheddar in this one.🐈🐈❤️ Hope you guys get a break from the heat soon.

Good luck with the Hydrangea trio. They are beautiful. Have a great day

Both kitties enjoying the shade!

Good Morning Laura & Gardening Friends! Hydrangeas are some of my Favorite flowering plants. I kept my focus in what Laura was sharing, 🐈 because I have 2 larger hydrangeas that are showing off but are distinctly different and are stunners in their own right.

Love that pot the Tuff Stuff is in!!!!!

I like to listen your talking. My cat always do same thing like yours.

Planted a tiny Wee Bit Giddy this spring, gorgeous pink. Little darlin’ started blooming right away, even though the leaves were a little tattered from shipping. Since we’re moving to a condo within the month, I’ll be planting at least one in a pot to call my own.

Love those beautiful flowers and Laura. But those crazy cats are TOO FUNNY! Thanks for the education and entertainment!

Hello Laura! My urban cottage garden is filled with this type of hydrangea. The hydrangeas are beautiful. I love the mophead type, but they are very particular. I am glad that you are trying again. If this type works well for you, then I will try them. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

I am having so much fun watching the cats!

Good morning from Alabama. The only thing cuter than Russell and Cheddar playing under the willow….. Benjamin, Russell and Cheddar playing under the willow!

Ms Laura I hope the Hydrangeas grow well for you. Have a blessed day.

This video is proof Cheddar is the one starting the fights 😹

I bought three hydrangeas from the supermarket. Two were purple and turned gray brown (weird color). Although the blooms weren’t dead, I cut them all off then the leaves turned brown 😳. I trimmed one all the way back and left the leaves on one then, repotted both. I moved them on the side on my gazebo that gets only afternoon sun and they’ve put on so much new growth. I’m waiting for them to get established before transplanting into the ground...fingers crossed for next year. The third I purchased was blue and didn’t look like it was gonna survive but, I cut that one back (I didn’t have anything to lose) and repotted it...wow, it’s doing so well. None have new blooms but, I’m guessing next season will be a beautiful one. You’ve given me so much inspiration. I’ve never had outdoor plants but, watching your videos has given me courage and incentive. I’m no longer afraid...if they live, they live..if not, you learn. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden and knowledge. 💞

Kitties out there showing off. So cute. Kitties are always trying to be gardening helpers.

I've become hydrangea obsessed lately. Those look absolutely stunning in the containers. Love!

You are so talented. Thank you for sharing your videos. Amen

Very beautiful container with charming full bloom flower😍😍😍

Proven Winners commercial. Beautifully done Laura! “Wee Bit Grumpy!” 😂! I’m in zone 9 B too. Hugs. ✨💖✨

Addicted to your videos, Laura! I live in a pretty town 10 miles south of Bath in England, with a tiny outside space. You give me such inspiration! Love Benjamin's Butterfly Garden.

Once again, fantastic information for us people who are useless with plants 🌱, Thanks again Xxx

Love the hydrangeas and I didn’t even notice the cats! 😂

Love to hear your strategy of how/where/what on container plantings. How do you plan to over winter them? Thanks! 💚

The cats in the background was cracking me up. 🤣

Love the Containers! Very pretty

Greetings and many blessings to Garden Answer and all who are reading this from The Great Lake State of Michigan 🐢

pink flowers makes look your house gorgeous .

"Wee bit grumpy" it is definitely a name you won't forget!! Beautiful hydrangeas, and the perfect spot for them!

My favorite flowers of all time!

Nice

Love the video. Thanks for keeping it short and sweet.

Your pots are insanely beautiful. 🍀😊💚🇨🇦

Your cats are never far from you and they are so appealing. Thanks for sharing all your helpful videos.

Russell (and Cheddar!) got their cameos in the background 🤗

Your pots are gorgeous I want them all they make the flowers just that much more beautiful! And the weeping Willow fabulous with their billowing leaves

It's not easy to upstage beautiful hydrangeas, but kitties succeeded!
