      There's a lot of natural vegetation here that the deer are accustomed to and totally happy eating. Additionally, many of my neighbors are deer hunters. And finally, for a few things I spray with a wonderful peppermint oil based repellent called Deer Out.

    "The big ole layer cake of garden design." .....what a great quote from Mr. Sifford. With his terrain, it is very much layered. Similar to Ram, but she accomplishes this on a subdivision lot. Great video Jim and Stephany.

    Gorgeous!!!!! I wonder about how people water in large landscape and how they handle with deer/rabbits especially lives close to the woody area. I created too much of the gardens and now it is overwhelming to do hand watering and it seems to be too large to do for 1/4” drip irrigation system. Thank you very much.

    • @jaysifford9419
      @jaysifford9419 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm fortunate in that we receive enough rain here and have fairly cool summer temperatures so I do not have to water most things. In fact, most of these plants have never been watered by me in four years. I don't have a rabbit issue, I suppose because of the number of hawks. For deer repellent, I use a peppermint oil based product called Deer Out.

    Something about Orange Rocket barberry draws my eye every time I see them. I saw these in the original drone video and thought "What are those!?!?!" I wasn't sure if they were Orange Rocket or a different/newer version that is more red.
    These garden tours are so enjoyable and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

    Perfect timing. For the first time in years I woke up early to hear the birds sing and to my dismay there is no longer the echo of various species because a third of the woods behind me are gone due to mismanagement. Your video gave me ideas on how to upgrade my neck of these woods to provide food, nesting and protection and instead of drainage pipes planting those wet and boggy areas for the amphibians and pollinators. Thanks Jim for an inspiring video!

    OH MY GOODNESS, my dream come true. I have been drooling over your garden ever since the Fine Gardening article was featured. Your garden, and a few others from Roy Diblik, have been my inspiration for a stylized meadow for my own new 2.5 acre property in Central VA. We actually put the fire pit down a curvy path and are building the garden beds around it like you have. I put mountain mint, amsonia and grasses along the edges so I could enjoy nature up close. This will be a long term project as we acquire all the evergreens, grasses and natives that I want, but I am truly grateful, Jim, for seeing and loving this garden in a video. A+ to you Jay. Thank you for the inspiration.

    • @jaysifford9419

    So enjoyable! Great gardeners have killed a lot of plants - that's wisdom. It's all trial and error, and a very humbling vocation/avocation. Which is what makes gardening such an important aspect of mental health for everyone who gets dirt under their fingernails. Jim, your enthusiasm was palpable.
