Thank you for NOT pushing weekly fertilizing for annuals. Creating great soil & choosing the right plants will creates beautiful garden 🌸 your yard is proof!
I fertilize my containers once a week. I definitely agree with you on your comment 😊
I completely appreciate your knowledge and your natural "let the plants take care of themselves for the most part" approach. Plants have been around for hundreds and thousands of years way before we started sticking them in our garden. They've learned to adapt and overcome over the years without us fertilizing and fussing over them too much. I just don't understand why everyone wants to fertilize their annuals get the most they can out of them, get the biggest and the most blooms. Appreciate the ones that it produces without forcing it. I understand they're pretty but just let them be naturally beautiful the way they are. With my physical disability I am now switching my garden to an all prennial garden, shade and sun loving plants. I enjoy Dahlias and so many others but Its just getting too hard for me to plant annuals every year. I have learned so much from you about soil and taking care of insects, annuals and mulching You just have taught me so much you have no idea. ❤
I've babied a shrub for years that just never impressed me but was in a prominent spot. Last weekend I yanked it and planted a rose that has transformed how I feel about the whole space! Definitely call Time on stuff that is making you tired! ❤
I just planted some annual salvias from 4-packs and chopped off their heads. I cried a little inside but I did it! 😂
I do my weeding the same way, a little at a time. Actually, everytime I'm walking in or around my home if I see weeds I'll pull a handful of them. It works well, and the beds stay well weeded.
Pruning is an art! I wish perennials would respond like annuals after pruning!
I have found myself saying "he is just so knowledgeable!" throughout this video. You're amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!
Thank you so much!
Always appreciate the no nonsense approach you have to gardening! Thanks Jim!
Good idea to prune to get bushier plants, I was loathe to cut off flowers, but I can see it's better in the long run to trim. I use kitchen scissors to trim when they're small and soft to save my hands getting sore. And good idea to weed as you go, in my huge garden it's become a chore.
I’ve successfully put up boxes for Eastern bluebirds too!
Syringing is a very common technique on the golf course to cool down putting greens in the afternoon heat. A couple minutes of top watering cools down the turf through evaporation.
Just what I needed to know! I've finished planting the annuals across the front of the house and down the side of the driveway with your recommendations for pollinators. Added petunias by the mailbox because that's what my granny did and it makes me happy! Speaking of happy, I saw fireflies tonight, the first of the season! We had to take out some trees in order to get some sunlight in the backyard, but I made sure we left the back one-fourth of the yard alone and left the leaves covering the ground so the insects had a home. Working on getting the birds back...
Such great info! Really helpful. Guess I need to give my annuals haircut because some get very spindly looking. I might have to close my eyes to do it though. 😂
I found this video VERY helpful! Just what I needed on watering and fertilizing and just overall good annual care. Thank you!!
Love your channel !
Thank You for sharing your gardening tips ...
Your gardens are so Pretty with lots of color ..
I'm in zone 6b and there calling for Temps in the 30s for tonight.
Hopefully that won't happen.
Have a good Evening!
What fabulous information, Jim! It’s such a privilege to learn from someone who actually was in the nursery business! And yes, I do appreciate your more laid-back approach to gardening.
“Our garden is part of the natural world” 12:58 Love this. I haven’t come across a pure compost at my local garden centers. There are online options but I’d love to just grab a bag when I’m out shopping. Soil check has been so helpful! I occasionally find areas that are wetter than I thought. Thanks for sharing these tips!
Just bought some today at ace hardware.
You pruned those annuals almost as fast as you spread fertilizer!
I seem to recall you mentioning that you prune asters in early summer to avoid flop in August. I wonder if this would work with tall annuals- while also increasing blooms as in the low annuals that you have shown here.
Tender growth - yes, a virtual salad for "pests," including rabbits. What I've noticed is that perennials that may be eaten to the ground by rabbits in year one, will suddenly be less appetizing on thicker, more woody stems in years two and three. Examples: clematis, roses, daisy varieties etc.
Great video Jim very informative. Thanks for posting.
BEST, most informative video EVER, on the basics, thank you!!!
So helpful and appreciated. Thank you, Jim and Stephanie!
EXCELLENT! Extremely informative video. Thanks!
Beware. Still dealing with the aftermath of soil cube herbicide contamination from compost bought last spring.
Can’t seem to find the mulch, so can I ask where you got that awesome bird bath? ❤
Very informative video! And, I love that you are in my area! Hello from Harnett County, NC!
How would you recommend improving the soil for grass? I've struggled for years to get my lawn to be lush and have huge areas of thin and or bare spots.
Jim Thank you again for this information!! I love your videos!!
Everything looks beautiful in your garden! So helpful to watch and learn as you so aptly explain the gardening processes. Excited to follow throughout the season to see your garden flourish. Thank you so much! There is nothing better than experience and you are the expert!
Knowing that you’re so helpful to so many is great to watch you when I can. 👍🏻so I have a question! I’m older and got sick so I cant dig screening trees I have the ground as I planned. So now they are in the same nursery pots, healthy but I needing to be planted. I don’t think it’s a good time to plant them because of our intense heat/sun. What should I do? They are Leland Cyprus’s. I’wanting them for screening. Ideas please
I finally got up the courage to cut back my annuals as you have suggested. Hopefully my plants will respond they way yours do. A very informative video - thank you!
Ah! You answered my watering question in this video rather than the weekly question and answer video. Thank you!
“Weed pressure” is an understatement in our area (ugh!) love all this information.
Soil3 is also available in Tennessee. First time using it this year, and it’s fantastic. Already seeing positive results.
Jim, your videos always are so helpful and informative! Wish I could retain even a drop of your vast plant knowledge! Linda
Great episode. Watering is definitely loving a plant to death! Lol..
I really enjoy your channel always learning
Wonderful video, I love the step by step videos
Great video and so helpful for me as I learn to garden. Thanks Jim and Stephanie!
I always appreciate your videos - I'm also in NC, zone 7b. What works in your garden generally works in mine!
After getting our soil tests back and finding our soil lacking nutrients we are working on soil building this year. We saved fall leaves, shredded them and used them to mulch our beds this spring. It's been great with weeds and moisture but after watching your video I'm nervous that we are inviting more problems than solving? Gardening in zone 6 New England.
Great information Jim. Your garden looks beautiful. Had to laugh at powdery mildew. Moved to VA from CO. So many of my favorites from West aren’t worth it here. I’m looking at you roses. Great advice all around.
“Off with their heads,” he said. Easier said than done for me. Logically, I know you’re right, Jim, but why is it so hard for me to do this? I have a Hummingbird’s Lunch cuphea, loaded with blooms and buds on seven or eight scrawny stems, that may need this treatment. Is it one that will respond to a Chelsea Chop, of sorts?
I know exactly what you mean, I grew what was supposed to be echinops from seed and when it turned out to be grass I even struggled to pull that up and suddenly understood why the birds raise the cuckoo baby😂
REALLY appreciated this entire video. I’ve had trouble getting annuals to flourish all Summer. This info is what I needed!
We moved into a new home last fall and the builder had sodded the entire back yard. The company we hired this Spring to remove some of the sod in the back didn't dig down, but only skimmed the top of the spoil to make our beds... fast forward to Spring, with having Bermuda grass, we are inundated with Bermuda in the beds. Other than hand digging it out, is there any other safe way to take care of it without harming our other plants? Roundup could be possible if carefully applied. Thanks a million!
Would you use Bumper Crop as a mulch for the annuals?
great video. the plants seem to be thriving. greetings from Indonesia
I just watched your peony vid. Thank you. I commented here because it looks like you only have time to reply to your most recent vids. : )
I try to incorporate pink bark mulch in the clay soil here on the south but unfortunately it doesn’t stay as top mulch after a heavy rain. Last year most of my pine bark mulch washed away in zone 9a so moved to hardwood mulch this year.
As always Jim, great advice! Love your channel
Great tips, thanks!
My red salvia 4 pack that I purchased are single stem. They were in bloom as I cut them. Is it weird that it almost hurt to cut off the blooms lol. I know it’s better in the long run, but ouch! Thanks for always sharing your knowledge Jim.
Great info!
Lots of really valuable information and advice in that video! Thank you
Great tutorial on soil building!
Jim,
Do you do the pruning technique for your Raspberry Zinnias too?
Definitely!
@@JimPutnam Thanks for answering my question. I have used your pruning advice on my Lantana and they were huge in the summer. Perfect ground cover
Such wise words!! Thank you!
Lots of great information! Thanks, Jim!
Great info Jim. Good reminders for all of us!
Hey Jim,
So appreciate your expertise!
What's your recommendation on taking out an existing shrub that's been underperforminng and replacing it with another?
Is there wait period? Or a soil ammendment?
L❤ve your channel!!
Thank you!!
Really good information. Thanks much.
Thanks for the fantastic tips!
Thank you Jim, a lot of useful information! 🌷💚🙃
Great information! Thank you!
Any recommendations on flea beetles on my hosta plants or should I just not worry about them and do a better job of cleaning the beds and leaf litter in the winter ?
Great informational video!
Such useful informationan and practical info....Thanks
Jim, what are the plants with the flowers you deadheaded in the front of the border? I’d like to plant them in my border. Thanks, Denise.
My flower garden has been lightly damaged by pesticide drift from a neighboring yard. Since discovering the damage, I have been overwatering a bit. I also fertilized very lightly. I'm in NC with clay soil and my garden usually does well. ☹Should I just allow the plants to recover on their own and simply resume watering if needed?
Thanks! Very helpful!
Awesome practical advice
Do you fertilize zinnias I’ve heard yes & no
When removing weeds, if you simply put it back into the garden, isn't there a risk of the weeds reestablishing themselves? Especially if you rake dirt over them? Same with grass. The roots will just re-root, right?
Is pine bark mulch a good weed cap on annual vegetable beds?
Yes, for sure. A thin coat
Great tips Jim!
Great practical advice.
Jim…i love your ‘aceae’ shirt..where can I get one? Ty
They are on my website. Horttube.com. thanks for asking
Hi Jim. Thanks for the video! Any advice for treating what I think are black bean aphids? I planted a PW Blue Chiffon rose of Sharon last fall. It started to leaf back beautifully about a month ago. However a week ago I noticed it was covered by thousands of black aphids, I could barely even see the leaves!! I keep hosing it off and drenching it in Neem oil daily and it’s better but there are still a ton. Any advice to eliminate them?? I’m afraid the leaves are going to start curling from damage. Thanks!
I am having a horrible time with black mold on my roses.... All types. I love roses but, for some reason; I am doing something wrong. Help...
You mentioned inviting birds to your yard. I would love to do this and have had a few feeders and suets. Do you have a recommended bird feeder that stands up to multiple visitors... not only do the birds visit, but so do the squirrls and some deer even! Looking for a sturdy well made feeder recommendations.
We have multiple bird feeders because we love to watch the birds. However, I have noticed that, in addition to squirrels (which we are able to keep out of the feeders with various methods), we also now have a LOT of very cute chipmunks who eat the seed that falls to the ground. Great, right? Any seed eaten on the ground is one less to germinate. But no .... chipmunks are also tunnelers. So, in addition to moles and voles, we now also have chipmunk tunneling. I have read that chipmunks do not eat roots like the voles do, but their tunneling has certainly disturbed enough roots that we have lost some perennials. You may not have chipmunks where you are (yet! we didn't either until maybe 3 or 4 years ago). But just a word about the possibility.
Does anyone know what’s the best evergreen for foundation right in front of a porch for zone 7b
My 3 year old flower bed is over run with white clover. I cant remove it without damaging my sedum and creeping Jenny. Might have to pull everything and just mulch. 😢
I can dead head annuals, but cutting off those blooming flowers I cannot do!
Plants need air for their roots - why has that not occurred to me before now???
The problem with daytime watering is the loss to evaporation can be a waste of water. It's fine for most plants, but if someone is doing most of their watering midday they're wasting a lot of water that's not even getting to the roots.
What do u do if u have skillen I don't think that's spelled rite but they leave foam on ur plants ? I love ur videos I just found u a couple of weeks ago and I've learned a lot so I hope u can help me 😢👍thanks have a bless day
Well I guess my question isn't gonna b answered
I was in a meeting. 51 minutes ain't bad I don't think🤣. I don't know what your issue is. Is it spittle bugs? I don't know what plant it's on.
Yes it is spittle bug it is on Gaura but it was first on my speedwell and the speedwell is in a different garden. I just came home from shopping got some spray seven dust and I just seen it on my guara please help me I sure do thank u for getting back to me for I no u no what's going on when it comes to gardens thank u 😊
How do get rid of bindweed?
🙋
Hey Jim, Can you please give the name of the compost you used? I am in Georgia so I may be able to find it around here.
I think it’s “soil cube” (soil3)
@@LinusCello75 Thanks!
Prevent “the sun from damaging the soil”? Am I taking this too literally … or is there a permanent “damage “ to the soils from sun ???? I always thought it was something I can just rehydrate …
But your talk about microrisomes is making me re -think this bit of ignorance.
I meant it can kill your soil life. It wouldn't be permanent. Mulch moderates soil temperature and moisture. Both are important for soil life
@@JimPutnam Ty ! Again me overthinking lol
😂 thank you for talking about just getting rid of plants that are not thriving! I talk to my plants that r doing nothing! I tell them if they don't want play their part u will have to find another home to live at😅
why do people who have a great flower garden, have a horrible grass?
Great info! Thank you!
