It’s always a constant job cleaning up the garden! Especially this time of year. I also can’t go out without being covered up from head to toe! I’ve had mosquito bites all summer! I’m going to try rooting a hydrangea in a glass of water. I don’t have any rooting hormone and can’t spend another cent on the garden this year The plants I’m constantly pulling out of my garden are mini Palm trees. I have a huge Palm Tree that is on City property, right behind my backyard and during Winter winds it spreads its seeds all over my planters! Sometimes I won’t notice a little Palm tree coming up until it has gotten pretty big! Harder to get out then! I enjoy watching others clean out their gardens it is motivating!

I always think the weeds are so audacious to show up that big in my beds! I did have some purple loosestrife that popped up that I felt bad about pulling because I saw a hummingbird on it, but couldn't let it go to seed.
Maybe not the rose cuttings (depending on how rooted they are by mid-October, but I do leave my hydrangea cuttings out all winter in zone 6a in 4 pots. So many shrubs benefit from a period of vernalization. I'm sure they'd be OK inside, but just less work/energy used that way. For more shelter, I leave them in a clear tub on my covered porch.

This is such a great tip for gardeners on a budget! I successfully made a new Annabelle hydrangea doing this technique but have been more successful by layering the stems on the ground. I find a stem that is flexible enough to lay on the ground and I scrape the bottom of the stem and make sure it’s touching the soil and then I put a small rock on it to make it secure. A landscape staple works too.

Under no circumstances, would I ever describe your lovely garden as a hot mess! This video is so timely as I’m getting ready to propagate some hydrangeas myself. I’m going to layer them, pinning them to the ground and or directly into some soil-filled pots placed close to the mother plant. The only thing in my garden worse than Creeping (more appropriately called Leaping) Charlie, is Bermuda grass!

I did my very first hydrangea propagation in April and I successfully got them rooted. Now they are thriving in their temporary pots. Since it's my very first experience, what shall I do with them come winter Do I bring them in and have them under a growing light in an unheated room or leave them out & let them die back to the ground and wait till they grow back next spring

You said it! Heat, humidity and mosquitoes have and continue to be the bain of my existence this year. Can't even sit outside to ground without them wanting to carry me away! Thank you so much for the primer on cuttings. I'm just before going out to my Big Leaf girls and do the same but you put so much info into the process it's a bonus. Be blessed!

Weeding is an endless task, never ends! esp with all the rain we had this summer. This is a great time to tidy up the gardens, because weeds are hopefully done growing for this year. I see you take all the weeds to a dump, don't you compost it all or prob too much to compost. Happy September today. This time of the year is so nice. love the fall!

I have a question. How do I figure out what plants and how to group them. I have a small yard and have been here only 3 years. I live in Maine so my growing season isn't real long. I would love my whole backyard to look like your hydrangea room, can you give me some advice. Thank you Also, my yard is full of weeds!

You need a Thermacell FuelCellGuard mosquito repellent. I wear one every time I go out here in Vermont. You can clip it to your belt or back pocket or anywhere convenient. They are battery operated with a small fuel cell that heats the blue repeller. Just change the repeller often, as soon as it fades.

I, too, could use a Danielle or three! It's such a beautiful space you've created. Being in the green room with you normalizes the less glamorous labor of love that is the garden. Feeling privileged that you let us in, and inspired by your work and your welcome. Gentle hug from afar (WA. gs

Great instructional video! Thank you Pokeweed is sooo awful - we have it here in New Zealand and it's probably my worst weed! It's called 'Inkweed' here. It's not too hard to get rid of when small but oh wow if you accidentally miss some, they have the worst tap root.

I was able to transplant a piece from a hydrangea once, by just pulling a piece off from the root and putting it into the ground. Where I moved that piece of my hydrangea to had the same conditions, very wet soil. I never heard of a plant patent.

I feel a little better about how my gardens look right now
. wild grapevine, Virginia creeper, wire grass, pokeweed, you name it. We are in drought in far southern Virginia so the weeds flourish and everything else looks sad.

You're garden always looks perfect. I am glad you are like the rest of us with weeds when you are not constantly up on maintenance. I swear the weeds have grown three feet in my garden with all the August rain.

How satisfying. It looks like a breath of fresh air. Thank you for explaining how to propagate hydrangea and rose cuttings. I need to plant the shrubs I have before creating more though. Hugs to Rocky and Grace.

Thank you for showing the weeds, Danielle. I've got 2 kids under 3 and my garden areas have really gotten out of hand. This really lets me know I'm not the only one! The weeds have thrived this year!
