I appreciate your philosophy on fertilizing. I found in the past when I used high NPK fertilizer the next day I'd have an aphid problem. Gentle is the way to go! Thanks for the extremely informative video and for always being so generous with your knowledge.
Great tips especially for watering. How many bulbs are in the big pots of colocasia? They're gorgeous.
Great info! Thank you 😊
Great video😊thanks for all your great help🥳
👍
It's probably not just all the people who picked up gardening as a hobby during the pandemic that are buying out the garden centers, but also all the people (like me) who bought a house while rates were low!
Thanks Jim, we're having a heat wave in NW Arkansas…my plants are going crazy…time to trim!
What a wonderful video. I live in zone 8b, SW Washington state, Vancouver. We not only have lovely gardens here in the Vancouver area, but we also live right across the river from Lovely Portland, Oregon and the Willamette Valley. So many nurseries to visit. So many gardens to visit. So many garden centers to visit. I need to get out more. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I learned a lot. 😊
The creativity here is off the charts!
10:00 Bermuda grass is taking the fun out of my gardening.
Great video. SE TN did get damaged by that freeze. We’ve been dealing with the aftermath. The only lasting issue we’ve had is with some of our hydrangeas being very stunted this year but they’ve made it, just slow to grow.
Wow! What a informative video! I learned so many great tips for this general zone. I’m in zone 7a just east of Nashville. YES, the “flash freeze” the week of Christmas 2022 was devastating for many, if not all gardens. So, so many dead & severely damaged trees, shrubs, & perennials. Going to Cheekwood is a perfect suggestion, & I will definitely go. Thank you!
Birds make "deposits" in that seed bank too😁.
Thank you for all the time that y’all give to us and great information.
“Off with their head” and “I need one of these in my life” are two things I say often. 😂
Once again, great tips! Thank you
Great tips!
We all have lawns in full sun. The damn beetles.
I really appreciate all your good advice, and also… the location is so gorgeous!
Hello,
New Gardner here.
I have a fertilizer question.
In the beginning of June I purchased a dozen hydrangeas from Lowe's and Home Depot.
They all have a lot of slow release fertilizer on top.
Should I fertilize these plants here in July with a liquid fertilizer?
They are all still in their original pots.
The limelight's are budding some slower than others.
Blushing brides aren't budding at all.
The Popstar have buds but they aren't flowering and they are in full sun most of the day.
Thank you 🙂
I weed- dead head my garden in sections for an hour every morning. This keeps it all in check. Keep clippers and a wheelbarrow out all the time for just this task.
How soon / what month do you order your Spring Summer seeds?
Hey Jim, in a previous question and answer I asked about the Chelsea chop and you mentioned you did the Chelsea to mulch in place your clippings. And in this video you mentioned to keep the area underneath the shrubs and flowers clean. So does the Chelsea chop promote pest and would you recommend keeping the area clean or do the Chelsea chop? Thanks.
Excellent content in this video- summer maintenance is a topic that doesn’t get covered much – I liked all your points. The ones about watering were especially helpful.
we have had quite a bit of rain in zone 7A in the DC area.
What about spider mites? Is there another insect that will take care of them? It's the one pest that I am inclined to fight chemically.
Thanks for awesome tips!
I live in Mississippi, not far from loxely. Do they sell to the public? I can not find a lot of those plants in my area. I need them in my life
This was one of your best videos…A++…your other videos are amazing A+❤ Thank you, your doing a great job informing gardeners and not just showing perfect plants, but many other helpful sources of information. Just passing on positive feedback 🌹💕🌹
Someone give this man a Netflix special already.
We definitely have extreme weather here in Houston. So True. 😅
Jim, you are an absolute wealth of knowledge and offer such practical advice. Thanks for all you share with the rest of us gardeners! Be well.
Grasshoppers are my nemesis!!!! Its like a plague the last 2 summers. This spring was pretty cool so they got a late start but I am overwhelmed at this point. I have a large garden and a waterway that wild life depend on so I have been trying to find a solution. There is 1 product called nolobait that has been out of stock for about 2 years. It is a granular bait that targets Grasshoppers but can not get it. They eat every leaf and bloom by the end of summer and its really sad. Hopefully someone will have a suggestion 🙂
Awesome tips as always! As much as my wife and I hated deadheading the flowers when planting shrubs while in full bloom it has greatly helped them get established quicker. Now we have something to look forward next year.
Lots of great information! I wish more people understood the needs of a stressed plant and that too much water can be worse than not enough.
I have Japanese beetles on my dahlias.. I’m trying to spray with new mixture… and have bucket of soapy water to toss them in
“Reducing the seed bank” is my new favorite expression. It sounds so much more posh than ‘weeding’.
Wow! This video! There are so many great things I could say about it, but I’ll just say, what a wealth of knowledge! I am learning so so much from you, and I appreciate you sharing these tips. I also enjoyed looking at all these fantastic plants in the video while learning! That waikiki is just incredible! I had seen it in some photos, but I didn’t realize it was that big! Happy gardening!
I think this is one of your finest, most informative videos. Great job to both of you, Jim and Stephany and thank you for such great, solid advice. I wholeheartedly agreed with so much (especially weeding, gosh, enjoying the outdoors people!) and learned a few. ❤
EXCELLENT!!! Safe driving home.
I have one tree and some shrubs that still have not awoken from dormancy. I blame the extreme cold we had in Texas. I have checked their roots and they seem to be making new white roots. I wonder if they are waiting for cooler weather? My tree still has a green trunk. It's so odd to have dormant plants this late in the year.
Off with its head!!! The Putnam way!!! 😂 love it
