The first time I came across you on KZread you were cutting back that lavender after its first year. I was hooked immediately as you had such a lovely manner and were very informative. I had just lost my 19 yr old son and your videos were all I could watch. So this lavender brings back so much from that time and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you’ve done without even knowing the peace that you’ve given me ❤️🌺🌸

Oh my gosh. So sorry for your loss. I was actually just coming on here to comment that the first time I discovered garden answer was looking up how to care for lavender. my heart aches for your loss. Hugs.

I love when you give the timing of your irrigation! It gives us a starting point of reference for us to use for our gardens!

Am I the only one to stop the video at 1:05 to appreciate all that has happened in this space in four years??? WOW!!!

Lavender is one of my favourite things in your garden

It seems that whatever Laura has in her garden, I want. I need some Sweet Romance lavender! I love that 2023 PW recipe, and just asked my favourite nursery retailer to please consider stocking these for 2023! Gorgeous!!

Did you notice Russell video bombing with Laura again? We've never had lavender plants last that long! Her gardens are amazing Garden Answer is one of my favorite You Tube channels!

The two containers in between the lavender are absolutely gorgeous!

Great timing on this video as I was just reviewing all of your videos about this spot. I need to get my hands on Sweet Romance as it will be perfect where I want to put it. You are the best, Laura!!!!! (and Aaron). ;)

Surprise video. 😍😍 Hope you have a great weekend Laura. Thank you for sharing all things beautiful. 🌻

Beautiful! I especially appreciated the instructions on upkeep and cutting back for a 2nd flush of blooms.

I will never complain about an extra, unexpected video!! I love lavender, but I think I may have killed mine with too much water. 💚💚💚

Guilty as charged. I tossed about 5 plants already.

So nice to see the results of your lavender! We planted ours after watching your lavender video. We still have glorious lavender after 3 years as well! We replaced our boxwoods with these lavender and and are thrilled that we did! As a bonus, beautiful golden finches eat the seeds from the blooms, and we'll be showcasing the finches on an upcoming video 😀

It’s the watering set up that makes this a success.

Because of your beautiful hedge of lavender, I planted one on the south side of my house (zone 7, mid-Atlantic, foothills of the Blueridge Mountains) and for the most part, its been absolutely beautiful. I have had a few die each winter, I always have an order for a few to continue somewhere else. I do not water, except their first year in the ground, but them minimal, I get rainfall, thank the Lord! I am on my second flush of flowers. I love the little hedge, not as lush as yours, but I started with very small plants. I have planted behind it, at last roses and stand by me clematis. Second year for these and the color is amazing. Thanks Laura for all the inspiration, even this retired lady is learning from you!

I remember when you planted your lavender. I couldn't help but to think you were planting them in a rock bed. Every year they have performed beautifully.

Love lavender!!

Just planted 37 Sweet Romance lavenders at a local funeral home. They asked me to care for their gardening. Just planted them around a circular brick path where clients go to have quiet time. This came at just a good time!

I know you hesitate to share your watering schedule/amount because we’re all gardening in different climates and zones, but just getting an idea of your schedule is helpful. I’m a relatively new gardener and ended up drowning all my poor plants in the first year (except for my thirsty dogwood 🤣). This was really helpful!

I would love to see “before” and “after” videos of specific areas in your garden. We were able to see a little but of that in this video with your raised bed vegetable garden area. It is helpful to see the progression of growth.

I’m in year 2 of growing Munstead (from seed!) and they’re actually starting to look like something! Fingers crossed that mine look as good as these in another 3 years!

Love the sweet romance lavender. I think I need to add this variety to my lavender collection. I'm going to try your lavender pruning technique

I’m loving these short updates on areas/certain plants. Would love an update on the kids garden area

The first time I discovered you I was doing a Google search on how to care for lavender. I loved you so much right away. thank you for this refresher.

Love y’all and your channel. You have the best use of adjectives than any person I have ever heard. I never get bored listening to you.

Good Afternoon! 🙂🌻 I love lavender & your hedge is gorgeous!! 🥰💜💚💜💚😍

Yes I remember when you planted them. Gorgeous lavender. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Hi Laura and Aaron! This was really helpful. I like it when you do this kind of video on just one type of plant. Thank you so much for sharing!

Love a video double, any day of the week. Always appreciated.

Love that Proven Winner recipe blend for 2023. I definitely want to try it next year.

Gorgeous 💕

Such a treat! I remember when you planted the lavender. Just as beautiful today!💜

Good evening! Twice in one day, yay! Thank you

Glad to know my lavender can tolerate every other day watering. I’d rather err on the side of caution than overwater. Thanks again Laura for another plant tutorial. ❤

That entire area is really beautiful right now; so glad you shared!

The lavender looks beautifulThe lavender looks beautiful

And the deer don’t eat it!! We have tons of deer pressure and they have yet to touch them. We have about 25 Provence Lavender planted around a tear drop in our driveway! Absolutely gorgeous 🥰

Loved this update 👏👏👏👏😍😊🥰

Such a beautiful border! And I L.O.V.E. that guara and pink combo!

Beautiful 😍

This is one of my favorite spots in your garden next to the chicken coop

Thank you for sharing the timing of how much you water, it really helps to get a rough idea of its watering needs

Beautiful!!

I am envious. Because of you, I planted some and mine never looked good like that, they petered out quickly. I live in coastal southern Virginia, maybe too humid down here for it. I have heard that there is a variety called Phenomenal Lavender that does very well in the humid south, so I will be on the lookout for that one.

Love. Love. Love.

Oh my! Those luscious flowers in those containers with the color of the lilac! Gorgeous!!!

I’m enjoying my own lavender now, because of you. Thank you!

I've tried lavender for four seasons and it's a no-go for soggy Florida. I wish but wishing won't make it happen down here. At least I get to see your gorgeous hedge of beauty and fragrance. WOW

Just gorgeous! I especially love the containers.

It looks great!!!! I planted a hedge of the french lavender in early spring. I have mine planted in gravel too. So far so good.

Lovely garden 🥰

Love the container….those colors!!

Love the lavender and love a second Thursday video!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Hugs from N.C..💜

Lavender looks great. The planters look amazing beside the lavender. Love those colours together.

I have always loved this spot in your garden. I have never seen the Sweet Romance Lavender up here on Vancouver Island B.C.

Those containers are about my favourite you’ve ever done.

zone 6a finally a grower I can relate with

You have helped me so much with my gardening. Your suggestions in the videos for plants and how to grow and maintain them is better then reading a lot of books.

We put lavender along our white picket fence 4 or 5 years ago wanting the finished product similar to yours. While I love the look, ours has become somewhat woody and larger. I am so glad that I came across your videos about the Sweet Romance Lavender. At the end of this growing season, my husband is digging them out and we will replace them with this variety and use your pruning technique. I am so excited (my husband---not so much)! On another note, I installed drip lines to almost all of my beds this year. In preparation for this upcoming winter, can you help us drip line newbies with how you prep your lines for winter? I love your channel and look forward to it every morning!

This video is right on time! I just purchased a lavender plant and was trying to remember how you care for your lavender hedge. I was just about to search for your previous videos on how you care for lavender.👍 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

👋🌞Good Friday morning, Laura! I saved this video, released yesterday afternoon, to have a double feature, this morning with my ☕️!😊🤗 👋Hi Russell 🐈! I saw 👀 your feet... That Sweet Romance lavendar is STUNNING!!!!🤩🤩🤩😊 Everything behind and around you, looks glorious!🥰😁 👋Hi Aaron! Sorry, I didn't realize you were out there filming.😔😶 That white gahra (sp?) is phenomenal!!! I must find some and I pray that it grows it my Zone 9b. 😂🤣😂🤣😂 The commercial after this video ended, was HYSTERICAL!!! It was made to replicate a gunfight; the music too. The woman had her hip holster loaded with Felco pruners. Her husband had a non-Felco pruner, in his holster. They did a quickdraw and started pruning their topiaries. The husband was struggling and sweating up a storm. The wife was cool and calm. At the end, they showed his sphere and his wife's swan. BOOM 💣💥 Soooo funny.😂🤣😂🤣😂 Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/evening 🌞/🌜🌍 and weekend everyone! Kimberley F in Avondale, Arizona USA 🇺🇸 (Zone 9b) 🌞🌵💞

Perfect timing, you must have been reading my mind! I’ve been coveting your lavender hedge for quite a while,but hesitant to to plant due to the woody mess it can become. I think I am going to remove the existing ice plants I have growing down the side of my long driveway and replace it with the sweet romance lavender(if I can find enough😉)it might be the planting solution I’ve been seeking to a narrow, full sun bed . Thank you for sharing your successful pruning tips to keep them from getting woody and leggy!

Wow, looks beautiful and your pots are gorgeous.

Just bought this for the first time this year. A couple of the plants were on clearance! As usual perfect timing and great concise information. Thank you Laura!

Not being a “pink” person, I wasn’t too sure of that planter recipe in the beginning…but WOW!

After watching your videos about how you maintain your lavender, I’ve decided I’m going to take all my Spanish lavender out this year & replant, probably a different variety. Mine had a beautiful bloom this year, but they are really woody and not a pretty shape.

Lavender is my nemesis, haven't had much success! I have one lavender plant in my garden, bought it as a "spanish lavender". Back then I didn't have a Laura and didn't know about cutting it back, it's very woody. It still looks good but I know eventially I will have to take it out 😔. Thank you Laura for teaching us 🤗. My hubby took a packet of lavender seed and planted it this week, it's still cold but I hold my breath. Imagine he has success with planting it 😅... I will make him my lavender guy 🤗 and keep quiet about all my failures 😉 Thanks for this video Laura and thank you Aaron. Lots of love from South Africa 🤗💛🌻

Thank you!!! The lavender is a favorite. So good to learn how to care for it.

Just beautiful, all of it!

I think the containers are 🤩 so pretty! ❤️ it! 🙏🏼✌🏻❤️

My absolute all time favorite perennial. 💜

Beautiful 🥰 thanks for the update.

Love it!! Thank you!!

Really love everything about this area!

Wow looks absolutely stunning!!! Thanks to one of your previous videos on lavender I decided to plant some this year. Cannot wait until they start to fill out and produce those beautiful blooms. Thank you so much for the tip on pruning, much appreciated.

I enjoyed this twice!

Thank you!

Love it so much.

I love the colour of the lavender against the black fence. It's not something I would have tried but would love to do it sometime. That whole area is looking so good and the arbs in the background look amazing. They have grown so fast.

Love the color combination. Thanks for sharing

Absolutely stunning 💕 full of beauty & colour 💕

man im jealous.. 3 yrs starting munstead by seeds in november indoor.. plant when its warm it never blooms :-( in montreal canada. thank you for the video
