I love how absolutely calm Holly is in the garden. Such a peaceful presence. Love her so much ❤️
Yeah, she has always been this way. She does love to run, but seems to know the appropriate times
Beautiful plants. A few years ago I sneaked onto a woodlot that was going to be demolished for a housing development and dug up many of the Mayapples, Jack-in-the-pulpits, ferns, Rhododendrons, violets, Trillium, tree seedlings, and other woodland plants and saved them to be planted into my garden.....so glad I did!
It truly is amazing how quickly the soil can change in two years. I had infertile soil in front of my townhome because it was full of construction waste from 1981 when this townhome was built, so it's not surprising that nothing grew. In April 2020, I dug all the bricks, PVC pipes, nails, glass, and concrete out of the space and renourished and replenished the soil. Now the soil is soft and full of worms. It only took two years to remedy what had been a construction dump site for forty years.
That’s encouraging. Thanks for sharing.
A perennial plant of the year video would be FANTASTIC!!!!
Would be interested in a video about how you keep garden records when you remove plant labels from the garden.
My mom is coming to visit me in 6 weeks with a bag of her hostas in tote! 🥰💗
I love seeing your dog out there with you.
Your videos have so much information and have made my garden game on point. Thank you keep it up.
"The 1st duty of every gardener is to improve the soil." That's what I was taught. Jack Frost is a wonderful plant.
Yes if you leave the flowers on it will spread ❤️by trailing!
You always feature such interesting plants, especially lesser known ones. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I like to save the money, but I also really enjoy seeing the plant grow 😊
I have lots of shade so this was very informative and timely. I also have some begonia coming back which was a nice surprise!
Glad to see you were reading my mind Jim. This is the video I needed you to post.
Thank you so much! Great video. Love your channel and how I can find exactly what I need to be a better gardener. This channel is an amazing resource!
Thanks for the daily updates Jim. I've been using your soil amendment trick and have seen great results . The mulch and compost are working great here in East Tennessee ! Thanks for the support.
That's awesome! Thanks for following along
Same here in my area of East TN
This video is just in time for me 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Thank You Jim 🥰
Wonderful “boot camp” on shade plants. Thanks, Jim!
Thanks Jim for this info on shade perennials! I'd love to see more on this topic as the back third of my backyard is woodland shade.
You do have a huge variety in your garden. Wonderful shade plants. Thanks for all the descriptions of plants. Oh and your soil is amazing!
Dream queen us such a beautiful hosta.
Thanks for a great shade video. Love the ferns.
Glad to see you introducing more ferns! The Dryopteris family performs so well in 8a/Southern Piedmont of NC in my oak woodland with yellow shale clay. Especially Autumn Fern, D. x australis/Dixie Wood Fern, D. championii/Champion's Wood Fern (evergreen). Once I understood the ease of growing ferns in the Dryopteris family my gardens became loaded with planted 'colonies' of these! Others that thrive here are Osmunda regalis/Royal Fern - with plenty of water during the dry months, & Cycadina atrata/Shaggy Shield Fern.
So many beautiful shade loving plants! I added so so many to my wish list. ❤️
Love all the shade plants!!
Holly is so cute! Love all the different shade plants.
I lucked up on a potted clivia plant at an estate saie. its well established beautiful and huge. have it under a tree surrounded by my container hostas.
Thank you Jim 🌷💚🙃
Love your videos! So detailed & easy to understand.
Yes!! Please a video on plants that can take dog urine!! I have 2 males and have to put little fences around a lot of my shrubs to protect them .
Jim I just love how you give us the names & zones on all your plants, I'm a new subscriber, thank you so much, I have a shade garden under westeria,I call it jimungi,,& would like to see a video on best plants in beds underneath westeria I'm in zone 7-8
Leaves are natures gift! When our family bought our N. Georgia home 3 years ago, the area around the elevated front porch was dry & dusty around 2 large Oak trees. With limited funds for compost, I just started leaving the fall bounty. The next spring, natives started coming up. Some are too aggressive to stay but they tell me where a pocket for planting exists & they can be relocated. I like to live with an area & develop it slowly but as I age, I'm less patient but more willing to embrace the chaos of nature having her way. It's looking like an established bed this year & I'm really enjoying it.
Your yard is looking grand Jim, looking forward to watching it with you!
You mentioned ?Rams a few times. Will you please share the location and name? Is it a shade specialty nursery? Retail?
@@marcellacoblentz8433 Ram’s is the personal garden in Athens GA featured with the beautiful bamboo and streams/fountains several times on this channel. (And earlier this week). It’s her personal garden, not a commercial nursery. They were passalong plants/gifts.
This was great!! I have a lot of shade and part shade with Many trees so I need woodland plants that can tolerate dry shade. Thanks Jim!
I loved this video. I’m working on expanding my shade gardens and yours is really coming together.
Extremely helpful. I also have a relatively small urban lot, with a lot of shade, zone 7a. Love hostas but now have a deer problem and appreciate all the suggestions for deer resistant shade plants.
Thanks for sharing all these new plants going into your landscape. (Idea for future videos: ones that focus on plant groups such as ferns and hostas).
‘White Nancy’ lamium is henbit with larger leaves! Expect seedlings everywhere in your fertile garden.
The heat controls it here. The wrong summer will just kill it
Thanks Jim. Great video. I'm always looking for shade plants (that are readily available) as I have a lot of it in West Vancouver. We are surrounded by old Firs and Cedars... I've recently planted up a bed under two old Oakleaf Hydrangeas and I started with Jack Frost - a few offcuts. It's the best. The slugs leave it alone!!
Love the Jack Frost brunnera
Nice mini shovel
I had creeping raspberry at our old house to hold a hill/ slope. It did great but once it got to level ground it went crazy! I’m in N GA zone 8
Good luck with yours🌿
Thank you for this video.
Watch out with that Ajuga, it will take over! Best to keep it potted.
I've gotten so many perennials from Big Bloomers!
To mark plants that go dormant and herbaceous perennials I have found chopsticks are sturdy markers and are inexpensive. Just purchased 50 pairs for less than $4.00 on amazon. This year I'm thinking about color coding the exposed end
Good idea!
…. Very interesting…. Also skewer sticks maybe? But how do you write on them? And I can’t seem to find a good permanent marker that is actually permanent. Any thoughts on a good brand of marker that doesn’t fade??
@@rphjacobs9197 a paint pen would be more permanent.
my puppy would love to find sticks just waiting for her, so that won’t work for a few years. Last fall I recorded the beds, and took still shots, it’s proved to helpful. I have a garden journal and have made a drawing of each planting bed
@@rphjacobs9197 I've tried markers & paint pens this year to see which works the best But to keep track of which plants are in which bed I have a spread sheet for each area The spread sheet has the year planted, common & botanical name, size of plant Since I have the spread sheet for each bed I thought I might color code the top of the sticks ex: green/hosta, purple/bulbs,etc
My deer here in Charlotte didn't get the memo on Autumn Fern (and Japanese Painted Fern). All of the fiddleheads were eaten earlier this spring. I had to fashion barriers out of chicken wire to put over them. Or maybe bunnies got them????
Here in Australia we don't pronounce Brunnera either way. We pronounce the letter u as a lowercase u... Like... Bummer... Brunner...a. The a at the end we also pronounce as a lowercase u. 💜🙏😇🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing x 💜🙏😇🇦🇺
I appreciate your videos…a little side note: I am hearing impaired and everytime you pop the name of the plant at the bottom of the screen my captions cover it and I have to rewind the video many times…something to consider possibly top right of screen or a Split View. Not at all meant to be a criticism as I enjoy everything you do and you taking the time to share, edit I know it is time consuming.
Thank you for great content!
What a great video! Love the highlighting of shade plants and that you put the names on the screen. So helpful. Wondering how deep your compost was when you first started improving your clay soil. Did you then put mulch on that? Thank you. The improvement and design of your gardens in two years is amazing!
Love your channel. Wish you would promote more native plants
If you follow the channel I think you'll see that I have lots of native plants. Today's video highlights several. I'm never gonna be the native Nazi that some people want me to be though. Funny thing is, I bet I have more natives than any of those folks have🤣.
The more I asses my garden, I realize the sun isn’t as on my side in the areas I’d like to highlight most!
I purchased an Ostrich Fern back in 2019 and under planted it with a Hosta and Dahlias. Not realizing this wasn’t a good combination in a container. As the space received dappled light until noon and then full sun until sunset, and with too much watering - only the Hosta made it through.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Hey Jim, how about a knee pad? Much easier on the knees when planting, not to mention your back.
Hey Jim, this is not relevant to this video but I thought I’d ask anyway.. You’ve said you don’t spray or treat your yard, so how do you handle skeeters? Here in TX they are beginning to pick up & over populate the understory of the Red Tips hedging my yard. I’m trying Citronella plants, candles and Lemon grass, but I’m about at my wits end!!
I live a couple of hours east of you. Have you ever dealt with termites in your garden? I lifted a big rock yesterday and it had hundreds of small off-white insects under it. Looks like termites from pictures I found on the internet. Thanks for any info you can provide.
I wish I could find a place that sold 3-4" hosta pots!!!
Can you show how you your garden map please?
Do you have a video for how you grow your maple in the pot next to you ?
Great information! I was wondering if you lost any Gardenias through that hard freeze we had. I am over in GA in the mountains and mine went back to the ground. Not sure if they will recover. Not seeing much if any green yet.
Man, I've got to step up my game. Quick question for Jim or the group. Have you/y'all ever planted Foam Flower? I'm trying to grow as many natives as possible (here is SC zone 8a), and that looks like a good option. Just not sure how easy it is to grow.
foam flower is great!! soany varieties too. 🙂🌲🌹🌷
Jim has Heucharella in his garden which is a cross of Tiarella and Heuchera.
Hi Jim
When planting ferns, are you concerned with those invasive ones, or do you only plant clumping (i.e. Is Ostrich fern invasive)? I thought I saw, in your recent hosta video, a giant leopard plant.
Wish could recycle containers
How many of each variety of all these unique "filler" type plants would you use if you were going for the same style in a much larger area? I'm just now putting beds in at a naked house on 2 acres.
I don’t imagine that you’ve had much or any experience with plants that heave? I thought I would ask anyway, do you know how to prevent plants from heaving? 🌷💚🙃
Unrelated but any idea on sourcing an Empress of China Dogwood? Can’t find one anywhere, not even online
Are all these plants dry shade?
I haven't been able to keep pulmonaria alive in the summer. Did I goof? Are these really heat tolerant in zone 8? Thanks
Love that burgundy maple in the back ground!! What variety is it?
Tamukeyama
@@staciejackson7497 thank you!!
Upright Chinese Fringe Tree......what is your variety? I have been looking for a Tokyo Tower, with no luck.
It's Tokyo Tower
@@JimPutnam Perfect!
I got my Tokyo tower from mr. Maple I think that's where Jim's came from too
@Miryana Ohhhh, sounds great! Thanks very much, Miryana!!!!!
Miryana, I just checked and Mr. Maple is sold out of Tokyo Tower. Maybe in the fall? Luckily, they're a 1 hr , 50 min drive from me so I can pick it up curbside. Thanks again for the tip! 👍 Really appreciate it.
It would be nice if the camera was focused on what you are planting instead of the plant in the foreground (first plant in video).
I know that one didn't go well. Life happens. Thanks for watching.
@@JimPutnam i look forward to each and every video!
I’m always on the lookout for new channels to watch and learn from their expertise, what’s the name of your channel?
Horttube
Great! BUT it is NOT native!!
Neither are you.
Great information but too much um's and uh's
Hmm, I didn’t notice.
Didn't notice either you the police
Didn't notice either, so intent on the knowledge Jim shares.
This is not a scripted show like I guess you're used to. It's intentionally informal in its production and part of what makes it wonderful to watch
