I planted aliums and daffodils last week. Better late than never (zone 8a). And pulled weeds and burned sticks to tidy up.
Super informative, thank you!
I'd plant green ribbon carex before I'd plant big blue liriope.
Hi. I have a question. I want to plant a small tree that flowers in early spring and has fall color. I wanted to plant a red bud but the place I need to plant it gets full sun all day. Do you have any other suggestions for me to try
Great video
🌳✂️
With a foot of snow on the ground here in Niagara Falls Canada, we’re a long way from where you are. lol. Thanks for the update. Drew
Thanks for the suggestion to trim the LeeAnn Cleyera to encourage red leaves. I was wondering whether that would be a good way to encourage the foliage color change.
Trying to find a break in the rain to get a few plants in the ground! Also working my way through pruning roses and other odd plants here and there. And then of course there are the 1000s of weeds that magically appeared during our little mini-spring last week 😂.
I’m so frustrated with thick stubborn wisteria vines popping up from various places in the ground (a plant I thought I killed two yrs ago) that I’m motivated to return to college for a degree in cell biology which I would use to get my hands on CRISPR technology in a mission to modify Wisteria DNA to attack itself and self-destruct 😈
Happy gardening 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃. ❤
Talking of what's in flower, I have a Camellia sasanqua called Yume. It flowers in UK from December to February, and even this winter which has been psrticularly wet, it drops its spent pink and white petals like confetti, so none of those soggy rotten spent flowers you can get on some plants. My favourite shrub in the garden, highly recommended, though not easy to find.
I would love to weed out your seedlings that have popped up and will be popping up!! I live in MN though.. Might be too far to travel to weed a garden!
I planted a flat of Feather Falls in my zone 5b/6a garden two years ago, in a variety of exposures including full sun. All but maybe three did great and were treated mostly as evergreens. We’ve had a much harder winter (zone 5 low temps and no snow cover) this year so it will be interesting to see how they do. I will certainly need to cut all back if they make it. Ribbon Falls looks lovely but I too worry about the market’s appetite for it.
Zone 5B/6A here. We're supposed to get up to 8 inches of snow today, so not much gardening happening here! Love watching these and getting ideas and tips. I'm hoping to winter sow some annuals soon, potentially using the ziplock bag method.
And just listen to all the birds singing ❤
I’ve started pruning roses and cutting back other perennials. I’m in the process of planting some perennials that I purchased a while ago. Winter sowing herbs. Delphinium and poppies. Thanks for all the tips and encouragement 😊
California Zone 8b/9a, we have been taking good advantage of our recent rains to pull out 5 roses that were infested with black spot and generally were in decline. Now I'm looking for something to replace them with to provide some shade to a couple of prized heuchera that are planted on the north side of the beds where the roses were removed. I'm thinking of Rose of Sharon or maybe a Mystic Spires salvia. Shade is hard to come by on our property, which spends much of the summer in triple digits.

I have just ordered H.helleborus from Plant Delights for $30 each in a 3.5" pot.
Winter sowing native perennials and looking at snow. Going to root prune some shrubs soon. Philly PA z7
Rabbits have eaten everyone of my carex to nubs except for the one under a cloche. They really go for them on nights down in the teens. Bearclaw hellebore is a much better name for that excellent foliage hellebore. Cut them to the ground after they've bloomed a week or 2: the new foliage is prettier and you can cut down on the seeding.
Jim, love the videos. Im in zone seven, Western Kentucky. I just had my first load of wood chips delivered about a week ago and I’ve already gone through them making paths. Great idea. Building my garden on what was a turf backyard. I went to a local appliance store and got large pieces of cardboard to put down underneath the chips. So far so good. Looking forward to more from you.
Gardening already. Lucky you. Up here near Philly we’re watching snow melt. Still got a few months till things go in the ground.
Working on hard scape and also mulching leaves this week because spring is our fall in zone 9b, North Florida.
With all the oaks, pines, and tallow trees, our yard is one big root farm.
Can't work in the garden right now. We are under a few feet of snow and more coming down now. LOL
Yes, we’re working outside in the garden! We’re on Lake Oconee, about 40 miles south of Athens, GA
The ground has been frozen for a couple months in MA Zone 6B. We are under snow/frozen rain sheet.
It is nice to see spring in your videos. 😊
Thank you, Jim, Steph. 😊
