You have given so much hope to small footage gardeners- I’ve notice especially with new construction , these planned communities have very small yards. Nice to know you can still have full, lush, variety. Looking forward to see how you kept it tamed. Just beautiful!
I couldn't help noticing all the birds in the background. And you mentioned several plants that produce seeds for the birds. Would you consider a video showing the birds in your yard and all the different plants that they like. I am trying to plant more natural things to help cut down on seed I purchase. I have the plants for the hummingbirds covered.
I have really enjoyed your videos. I'm right down the highway from you in Greenville (zone 8A). I bought a house in October with a small back yard with no plantings at all, just grass, so you give me alot of ideas about where I want to go in the future.
I’m amazed at the transformation of your yard in such a short time. I think I lack “the vision” when putting in new gardens but I get great ideas from your yard that work well in my TX 8a zone. Happy Gardening all. 🌸😀
Now I have to go find a White Clethera. Initially i thought it was the White Buddleia. I have the Sugar and Spice Summersweet, but the white is a stunner. Now I got to figure out where to put one more plant in my yard!
Beautiful garden!! Absolutely amazing.! I caged my echinacea because they were 5ft and stated falling during a wind storm. With all the foliage the cage is discrete.
Elsa dropped a ton of rain here in NJ as well. It took out my hollyhock. Those zinnia colors are so vibrant. Everything is looking great and colorful. Looking forward to maybe getting one of those upright butterfly bush.
So beautiful 🌼💖 Your garden is just beautiful All flowers plants looks healthy and awesome.. I. Love nature and greenery.. God bless you always 🌴🌼🌴🌼🌴🌺🌴🌺🌴🌺🌴🌺
The information you share about our area is amazing!! Thank you!! And thanks for the heads up on the narrow growing white butterfly bush. We will be planting a mixed border hedge about 150’ long and need more flowering shrubs.
When you planted your yard, You,said it would fill in. I never imagined it would look this lush and beautiful. Such an inspiration. Thank you for bringing us updates!
I discovered the Ruby Spice clethra this year, we have some at work in the landscaping around the parking area. I plan to grab some seeds off them once they're ripe 😁
Wow, your garden is developing so quickly! Very inspiring, and thank you very much for providing the names and zones for each plant on screen. I’m in Northern CA (9B), and it’s exciting to learn about plants I’ve never heard of before (clethra). I also really appreciate hearing you discuss why you chose the plant, how long you think it will suit the space it’s currently in, and what you might do with it in the future. I’m looking forward to the rest of the tour videos. 😃
This New house garden is so amazing! What a transformation🌷 I would like to know how you desing the garden because all the shapes, colours, flowering times etc. seems to be just perfect.
Thanks so very much, once again for giving good introduction to many plants. I have passed your name onto a relative who is moving to Georgia this year and has asked what can be grown in Atlanta area. I know your videos will more than put her mind at ease. She has years ahead of establishing her new garden. Thanks again!
Just lovely! I appreciate that you mention how some things will come out in a few years, or others will fill in. I've really made an effort to blend perennials and annuals this year. Also working herbs into the landscape as well. Looking forward to the next installments of the tour. 🌻
I am loving this series! You have packed in an incredible amount of variety in such a short time! Although my new construction yard progress is much slower then yours you provide so much inspiration for great plants to add!
I’m going to be the Abelia police. Jim, remember those were Abelia Radience, not Lemon ones. 😁 I only remember because they are my favorite and have been keeping my eye on them on your videos since you planted them lol.
I totally enjoy your informative tours. Must remember that I have slow growing bushes and bit impatient and trying to plan so I'm not digging things up so planting annuals surrounding is wonderful. I hate pulling weeds! Love to see your two doggies Holly and sorry forget other cute dog's name. Look forward seeing when how to diy doing your future projects, you explain things easily understanding way. Thank you Jim and yard looks awesome amazing such a small space. Fantastic job!!!
Love your garden they’re so beautiful and I appreciate how you explain what it is because I have some of those in my garden but I don’t know what kind . By the way if you want to get rid of your bigger plant you can throw it to me lol I’m in Raleigh too
Jim your garden is looking magnificent, I’m very impressed with what you have done with such a small lot. I enjoy your videos a lot and always look forward to ur garden tours to see all the good looking plants. Keep up the great work!!!👍🏻👍🏻
LOVE this in depth garden tour. You identified all the plants I was curious about. I learn so much from your videos and identifying plants I have seen but wanted info about is very helpful.
After a long work week and particularly long day today, I can't stop laughing at the bird face on the intro screen. I don't know why but it is cracking me up. Thanks for the laugh and the video.
Your yard is just beautiful! I have a Moondance hydrangea, too, and it was sagging a little after the rains. Also sagging was my huge limelight hydrangea.
Re: the Clethra- actually think this is a happy accident, combination of the 2 types makes a more interesting group. If you can keep the white one from getting too, too wide, I'd vote to keep it!
Jim, here's a question for your next Question and Answer video. Why don't you propagate the broken-off piece of the 'Doctor Ruppel' clematis, or is it one you're not allowed to propagate yet, because of a or patent... or whatever it's called in the industry? I love seeing all of the beautiful colors together in your landscape. Everything is filling in nicely. Thank you for putting the plant names and hardiness zones on the screen. I often stop your videos to write a list of the plants I especially like. Then, the next time I'm plant shopping, I look for those at the garden center or nursery. It appears like you have birds building a nest on your front porch, or am I seeing things that aren't there? ~Margie
So beautiful! Just love all the colors and textures! The Clethra are really sweet looking! Can you use the white one somewhere else in your landscape and either get another pink or put something else there that works for the look you're going for? They are so pretty I'd hate to not have them.
Lovely garden, look forward to seeing it filled in with your Aug tour. Have you noticed neighbors stepping it up with their garden since you moved in.? Elsa dumped 5" on us too where I am on Maryland's eastern shore, we really needed it, maybe not the 60 mph wind =^\ Could you just lift the center of the driveway and plant a nice ground cover, then recycle the bricks for the retaining wall.?
Do deer go after that cypress? So glad you mentioned the arb and dog situation! Was thinking about some here next year with 2 male dogs! 😉 your landscape looks amazing!
Have you grown "Golden Jubilee" Agastache and "Caramel" Heuchera? Two older varieties that deserve more use. Pollinators seem to like them too! Everything looks good Jim, N. Georgia is getting rain today.
I am familiar with both. I am up to to eight agastache varieties so far. I have a little more luck with heucherella so I have buttered rum. Similar color to caramel.
Jim: What is the magenta daisy-like bloomed plant, between the violet zinnia (had Wine in their name) + the 'Summer Solstice' echinacea, please? --- Is it also an echinacea?? I rewound 3x but somehow still didn't get what that was, and I love it, want to acquire one! Thx much.
I’ll look for answers into your past videos, but am wondering what eats coneflower and black eyed Susan petals? Seems like I have to keep insecticide soap with me all the time, but I know it’s a contact ‘cide and not ok for pollinators :(
Small spaces are more romantic than larger ones. You feel more of a welcome hug when you step in.
Just beautiful...you know you watch ALOT of Jim Putnam when your husband says "That Horttube guy again"😊
You have given so much hope to small footage gardeners- I’ve notice especially with new construction , these planned communities have very small yards. Nice to know you can still have full, lush, variety. Looking forward to see how you kept it tamed. Just beautiful!

Thanks Jim. You are a wonderful source of southern garden horticulture.
I appreciate you putting the names and zones while you’re showing your garden. I’m getting my list together for next year’s expansion.
A little heaven 😍, thank you for taking us in this informative tour of your beautiful garden. Not small at all !
Really gorgeous! And thank you for giving us names of plants and their zone hardiness!!! 🌸🌼🌲😍
Thanks for watching!!
Yes, many thanks and please continue doing that because I frequently create my plant shopping list from your videos!
Never disappoints. I love these tours!
💚 What you’ve accomplished in a small space in such a short amount of time, is incredible 😍
Daaaang look at the coleus - bright fuchsia I drool over that 🥹
I have really enjoyed your videos. I'm right down the highway from you in Greenville (zone 8A). I bought a house in October with a small back yard with no plantings at all, just grass, so you give me alot of ideas about where I want to go in the future.

Jim, you have created some spectacular soil on your property, looks amazing!
Thanks for following along with it!!
Amazing flowering plants
Nice
So glad you didn't get any damage from Elsa. Your garden has inspired me so much this year, thank you! 💚
Now I have to go find a White Clethera. Initially i thought it was the White Buddleia. I have the Sugar and Spice Summersweet, but the white is a stunner. Now I got to figure out where to put one more plant in my yard!
Beautiful. Hard to believe so young a garden.
Great encyclopedia "B" of fantastic plants!
You always have the best music. Would love a playlist of songs/musicians!
Beautiful garden!!
Absolutely amazing.!
I caged my echinacea because they were 5ft and stated falling during a wind storm. With all the foliage the cage is discrete.
Elsa dropped a ton of rain here in NJ as well. It took out my hollyhock. Those zinnia colors are so vibrant. Everything is looking great and colorful. Looking forward to maybe getting one of those upright butterfly bush.

Fabulous landscaping Jim. Greetings from Zone 3 - Northern BC Canada.
So beautiful 🌼💖
Your garden is just beautiful
All flowers plants looks healthy and awesome.. I. Love nature and greenery.. God bless you always

Lovely video. It's back to Lowe's for more plants for me after watching your video.
When you planted your yard, You,said it would fill in. I never imagined it would look this lush and beautiful. Such an inspiration. Thank you for bringing us updates!
Love these tours. Gives me so much inspiration!
Love the tour videos! Thanks for all of the plant information you provide - I learn a lot in all of your videos

Awesome videos as always Jim! Your jeep is sweet! Very nice 😎👍
Haven't seen Holly in a while. Everything is amazingly beautiful!!!
I'm a NC girl from Greensboro NC ..garden is beautiful just found you.
Will subscribe love gardening
This New house garden is so amazing! What a transformation🌷 I would like to know how you desing the garden because all the shapes, colours, flowering times etc. seems to be just perfect.
Could you include Holly in each episode? We love seeing her... a garden with a pet is heaven.
Thanks Jim
I really need to amend my soil. I am in Florida and it's all sand!
Slowing that water down would help a lot. Any compost, wood chips, or any mulch will help with that.
Everything looks really great!
Love the colors!
So stunning. We need these, please keep them coming. This was awesome.
Amazing what you have done! Lovely.
Thanks so much Jim. I was taking notes while watching. Going to have a list of plants for the future planting.
Thanks so very much, once again for giving good introduction to many plants. I have passed your name onto a relative who is moving to Georgia this year and has asked what can be grown in Atlanta area. I know your videos will more than put her mind at ease. She has years ahead of establishing her new garden. Thanks again!
I love your gardens and watching the birds, bees, etc. is fun! You have done a great job on this property. Enjoying all of your videos! Thanks Jim!
Thanks Jim, beautiful. Many of us have small landscapes to work with.
Just lovely! I appreciate that you mention how some things will come out in a few years, or others will fill in. I've really made an effort to blend perennials and annuals this year. Also working herbs into the landscape as well. Looking forward to the next installments of the tour. 🌻
Cardinal video-bomb at 26:00. I feel like he planned that. 😆 I love all the variety in these beds. Beautiful display.
Love your garden, and the fact that you have active birds makes it totally awesome. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
At least the clethra placement worked out as 2 red in the back and white in front. Nevertheless the yard looks amazing, despite trop storm Elsa
I'm planning one of these gardens in my front yard, zone 5-6. I hope it turns out like yours.
Beautiful! I like how you do close ups and then further views so you can have a sense of how the garden flows from each side of the house to the next.
I am loving this series! You have packed in an incredible amount of variety in such a short time! Although my new construction yard progress is much slower then yours you provide so much inspiration for great plants to add!
Jim!! It’s beautiful!! I’m amazed at the transformation and I’m so happy you included us in the journey! It has truly been a joy watching it all!! 😍😍
I so love your zinnias - especially the mix of colors!
I would take that white clethera off your hands :-)
Thanks for the tour. Enjoying the content.
I’m going to be the Abelia police. Jim, remember those were Abelia Radience, not Lemon ones. 😁 I only remember because they are my favorite and have been keeping my eye on them on your videos since you planted them lol.
Absolutely gorgeous! Love love love❤️
So many cool and interesting plants and flowers. It’s so nice to see some new stuff I’ve never even seen before
I totally enjoy your informative tours. Must remember that I have slow growing bushes and bit impatient and trying to plan so I'm not digging things up so planting annuals surrounding is wonderful.

Always look forward to your garden tours. Landscape looks amazing, should be even more so next year.
As always, Jim your property is gorgeous and amazing that you did all this in such a short period of time.
Love your garden they’re so beautiful and I appreciate how you explain what it is because I have some of those in my garden but I don’t know what kind . By the way if you want to get rid of your bigger plant you can throw it to me lol I’m in Raleigh too
Beautiful! 💖
Thanks for sharing!
🤩🐝🌼🌿💜🌸🐞🥰
It is amazing and beautiful! Do you ever just sit out front and enjoy the beauty?
Great tour, everything looks great! I’ve learned to keep a notebook and phone for screenshots nearby.
Jim your garden is looking magnificent, I’m very impressed with what you have done with such a small lot. I enjoy your videos a lot and always look forward to ur garden tours to see all the good looking plants. Keep up the great work!!!👍🏻👍🏻
LOVE this in depth garden tour. You identified all the plants I was curious about. I learn so much from your videos and identifying plants I have seen but wanted info about is very helpful.
Wow, the yard is gorgeous. I am glad Elsa just gave you a really good soaking Jim there in Raleigh :)
Absolutely in love with all your varieties of color! Thanks you, Jim for sharing. Always inspiring. Cheers from deep South Texas!
Love it!! Inspiring!
I know snapdragon is considered an annual but I live in Wake Forest, so same state and zone as Jim and my snapdragon come back like a perennial.
Your front garden looks great and really filling-in. The zinnias look fantastic, doesn't look like any issues with powdery mildew either!
Thought of you when Elsa moved to Raleigh glad everything is doing well!! Judy pensacola
Absolutely beautiful. Love it👍👍❤️❤️
Thanks Jim you have a gorgeous garden💚🙃
After a long work week and particularly long day today, I can't stop laughing at the bird face on the intro screen. I don't know why but it is cracking me up. Thanks for the laugh and the video.
I have 2 Carolina Sapphire and I think they grow faster than Arborvitea. The growth on them this yr has been amazing and outpacing my arborvitea
Lovely!⚘♥️
Your yard is just beautiful! I have a Moondance hydrangea, too, and it was sagging a little after the rains. Also sagging was my huge limelight hydrangea.
Your garden looks fabulous.
Enjoyed! Thank you!
Re: the Clethra- actually think this is a happy accident, combination of the 2 types makes a more interesting group. If you can keep the white one from getting too, too wide, I'd vote to keep it!

Beautiful garden. I have to learn to cluster groups of a flower instead of one plant.
The technique of using groups of five annuals in a design with six to eight varieties works great.
@@JimPutnam thanks for that tip Jim, that type of design info is helpful to those of us design challenged.
I recommend Park's Zinnias from seed... they are larger and sturdier than the Benaries.
How are they for mildew? That is actually the biggest issue with zinnias big and small.
So beautiful! Just love all the colors and textures! The Clethra are really sweet looking! Can you use the white one somewhere else in your landscape and either get another pink or put something else there that works for the look you're going for? They are so pretty I'd hate to not have them.
Lovely garden, look forward to seeing it filled in with your Aug tour. Have you noticed neighbors stepping it up with their garden since you moved in.? Elsa dumped 5" on us too where I am on Maryland's eastern shore, we really needed it, maybe not the 60 mph wind =^\
Could you just lift the center of the driveway and plant a nice ground cover, then recycle the bricks for the retaining wall.?
My limelight Hydrangeas are "melted to the ground" due to the heavy rain as I am only 20 minutes from you and I sure hope they stand back up.
🌸🐝LUV YOUR G🌻rden‼️🌸🦋
Do deer go after that cypress? So glad you mentioned the arb and dog situation! Was thinking about some here next year with 2 male dogs! 😉 your landscape looks amazing!

I am familiar with both. I am up to to eight agastache varieties so far. I have a little more luck with heucherella so I have buttered rum. Similar color to caramel.
I learn so much from you! How do your zinnias not have powdery mildew? I stopped planting them due to that. East Tennessee, zone 6b or 7a. Thanks!
Do you have a bird nest in the container on your front porch..in your video looks like a bird went in..the pink flower container.
No, it was just waiting to get that suet. There are always 10 lined up for it, but a woodpecker bullies them all
Like your new intro!
It’s looking so beautiful, Jim. Did you direct sow any of those zinnia? You must have a nest on your porch, lots of bird activity up there!
No, I start them in trays. More consent outcomes that way.
Jim: What is the magenta daisy-like bloomed plant, between the violet zinnia (had Wine in their name) + the 'Summer Solstice' echinacea, please?
--- Is it also an echinacea??
I rewound 3x but somehow still didn't get what that was, and I love it, want to acquire one! Thx much.
What is the variety of that purple coneflower? It looks amazing!
I’ll look for answers into your past videos, but am wondering what eats coneflower and black eyed Susan petals? Seems like I have to keep insecticide soap with me all the time, but I know it’s a contact ‘cide and not ok for pollinators :(
I am a new subscriber. Your gardens are beautiful. Do you have problems with moles or voles?
Can you link your agapanthus videos please
