I just love your garden and have enjoyed watching the transformation every step of the way. The Camellia's were such a surprise - so beautiful. I too appreciate you identifying the plants with the appropriate zones. Takes the guess work out of it. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge - I've learned so much from your channel.
Isn’t it cool how our gardens look like entirely different spaces as the seasons change? Your space is so varied because of the many different kinds of plants. It has been a journey as your landscape has taken shape and is getting settled in. The garden looks terrific; your hard work is paying off.
Hey Jim, I know you are busy & the videos are time consuming, but just throwing out a quick thought for future consideration for your plant playlist. ☺️ For example, the Edgeworthia, you have a separate playlist just for it. The 1 video is great about showing the young plant & talking about how to plant / take care of it. It would be awesome if you were able to take a 30 second clip of how it is now & then maybe another 30 second clip in full winter & then one more when it comes back out in spring. You showed it this time & I couldn’t believe how much growth it put on in such a short time and it looked great. We can’t see the plants that we are dreaming about in each season from the nursery’s website. It is hard to decide what to put in our gardens by only seeing a macro shot of the flower or a far away of the bush / plant. I wish the nursery’s/growers did a better job of showcasing the plant in their images. I really appreciate your monthly tour, it really helps. I’ve been wanting an Edgeworthia ever since I watched you plant the one in your yard. Just not sure where to put it. I’m already planning for the Spring!
I had a beautiful monarch butterfly visiting my garden in NJ, zone 7A today. I am still getting delicious strawberries, have zinnia, impatiens, salvia, marigolds, tropical hibiscus (not the hardy hibiscus though), and roses all blooming alongside my pansies and mums. I'm so glad I didn't pull them out. It's such a blessing to be able extend the garden season as long as possible.
My empress of China has buds also. I planted it this past spring based on your recommendation. I can’t wait to see it bloom. That hardy begonia is stunning. Didn’t know there was such a thing.
You always provide such “useable” information! Took notes on this one - should have done this before! I’m in zone 9a &summer flowers are still looking good.
Your Raleigh home has many interesting and unusual plants. It is fun, as a fellow plant collector, to see and take note of various plants for future plantings in my own zone 7a yard. Thank you, Jim!
You’ve come such a long way with your beautiful garden. All your hard work has paid off. Just lovely. I admire that you like to plant the extra-ordinary plants
Thank you for labeling the plants as you went along! This really helps a beginner Gardner not 9nly in identifying but deciding which plants to plant in our gardens! Hugs and love from Texas, zone 8
I just bought a home. There is some landscaping but I am basically starting with very little. I enjoy watching your garden because it gives me hope to start new. You said your front is 18 months... I am hoping mine will look 1/4 as nice and I will call it a win! Thanks for inspiring and always educating! Any tips on your favorite plants for fast abundance that is not an annual for Zone 6b? I would like to create abundance that returns. I will use annuals and love them but I would like to create the garden to fill in as fast as possible... I have shade & full sun. Also, I love the tours of other gardens. Thanks for sharing other people in your neighborhood and their efforts to create a garden that takes you from middle of a neighborhood into a place where you can forget you are surrounded by homes and people... just nature and paths to explore with beauty all around... I appreciate those videos as well as the plant focus educational ones. It gives me goals to try to create my own and the knowledge to choose the best plants for the job.
Thanks for highlighting the idea of "anticipation" in this late fall/early winter garden. It's easy to feel like it can be ignored until spring but there's still so much joy we can get from observation. Love the hat - looks handmade, knitted then felted maybe? Need to break out the needles, that's a great style for warmth with a bit of shading the eyes, plus maximum style.
I saved this to a folder on here, I'm hoping to get my place sold next spring, I'm going to plant some things you're showing for winter interest. I have plenty going on for spring and summer, but what a nice surprise for the buyer when it's beautiful thru autumn. I'm in Maryland on the shore, we've had a couple frosty looking mornings, but I still have Dahlias, Savlias, zinnia, and Lantana just to name a few blooming their hearts out.
Fun to see your garden such a different zone than mine(5). Interesting to see all the plants. Agree about looking to the spring and what’s next. To bloom. I dream about my bulbs I have planted
I so enjoy seeing all of your cultivars and how your garden is evolving…I’m heading out today to find some winter plants🪴🪴🪴Replacing my coral sunpatiens with pansies and kale in my zone 8b garden 💚
I am in 6a in Northeast Kansas. However I have a microclimate on the South side where it is protected by my house. I have a desert willow growing there. Has been there probably 7 or 8 years. I'm going to try putting a few more things in that you have that I would like, like the soft caress Mahonia there and see how they do. Are you planning to leave that Carolina Sapphire Arizona Cypress in that pot or move it into the landscape. Hoping to add that next year.
Jim, I love seeing all of your plants that have flower buds makes me wish I lived in a warmer growing zone. Your garden beds are going to be even more gorgeous next year. I'm curious, is the Farfugium in your backyard the plant that is sometimes referred to as a tractor-seat plant? ~Margie
Looks great! I love the view in from the fence. When you redo the front bed, will you copy the same wood style for the awning or pergola over the door?
I came back to this video because I have several Cascade Butterfly bushes. They are only in their first year so they are not very tall at the moment. I was curious if the amount of growth I see in this video was from one season because I do recall you cutting it back in a previous video. If so I am slightly worried about the size lol. But I invested a ton into them so I might have to just bite the bullet and be more attentive with my pruning and cutting back. I was hoping for a 4 to 5 ft height.
Beautiful! I'm looking forward to seeing how it changes through the winter. Thank you for doing this. Your videos are super helpful! Quick question: Wintergreen boxwoods - Can they be in full, hot sun in zone 7b? Or only Winter Gem?
The opening view is beautiful! Actually, many beautiful views in your garden! It's interesting to be able to see the changes of seasons in the plants/shrubs. Helpful in deciding what to put in my own garden. Did you decide not to do the stone paths throughout your garden?
I’m in Indiana, Zone six, and my salvia and Russian sage always look awful. The salvia always flops and I make sure to check the soil so I never ever overwater it. Is it possible my area just gets too much rain for it to ever grow properly? I have salvia in four different areas on my one acre property, and I have even tried to transplant a few. A different location doesn’t even make a difference. Any advise??? Love your channel Jim.
Looks Awesome! Do u take care of all of that on your own? It has really filled in! You have alot of plants i would like to find and add to my garden i was writing them down! I also collected seeds from my Dahlias, i heard it was pretty easy to grow them from seed so we will see next spring. Is the big chartreuse shrub Sunshine Ligustrum? It is beautiful! I want to add more chartreuse shrubs to my garden next year. Thanks for the tour! 😍💚
Do you have problems with lace bugs on your azaleas, encore and otherwise? And if so, how to you treat for them? I've been losing a battle with them for two years.
i see you staked the serviceberry, how long do you keep the stake on? and i asked in the video of your planting it, but really curious how far that tree can go to a foundation? i'm planning on planting mine 10' away...?? love all your videos!
I all looks great! It is amazing how it has filled out since last year. How do you get into your vegetable garden to harvest the greens with the netting and hoops?

I also live in 7b here in NY & my soft caress mahonias that I planted in late summer has already bloomed the yellow flowers. They are beautiful.
That Mexican Sage is BEAUTIFUL!
Live to get some!
My empress of China has buds also. I planted it this past spring based on your recommendation. I can’t wait to see it bloom. That hardy begonia is stunning. Didn’t know there was such a thing.
What you've done in two years is amazing! Your grounds are beautiful and I'm learning a lot by following you.

Stunning Jim 💕 it’s lovely to see what does well this time of year 🤗
I have the purple Mona. Love it! Just beautiful! It’s suppose to be a perennial here. Your property is stunning!

Thank you so much for all the plant name pop ups along the video!
Plectranthus also makes a beautiful house plant that always seems to be in bloom. I would dig that one up!

It’s going to be 76 in Atlanta tomorrow!🌞
Your garden is really coming along fast! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Love it!
Wait! Never seen ya in a cap, adorable!
So lush and dense still! Great to see the Mahonia, I plan to add several to the shade part of my garden next year.
Everything looks amazing as usual. Early Wonder Camellia is definitely on my wish list!
So happy to see that you also have African Blue Basil for the pollinators! Have you tried propagating it? It is hard to find some years.
Each time your notifications pop up, it looks like 'hot tub,' lol

Jim. I’m shocked u don’t have any olive martinis . Up front. They my fav. And I think yours

Thank you for this wonderful tour! What do you do about watering your pots in winter?
Great video… you have such beautiful gardens! What are the tall purple plants behind your vegetable garden?
I love my Mona lavender! I was thinking about trying to take cuttings. Have you done that before?
Great info! My question to you Jim is what is that variety of lorapetlum by your fl sunshine ligustrum.. please reply.. thanks!
Are there any tips to transplanting Russian sage? I need to move one but have avoided doing it out of fear of killing it.

Do you have to dig up the dahlias if the container gets protected in the garage?
🍁🥰🪴🍂ALWAYS ENJOYABLE 🍂🪴🥰🍁
Nice chapeau 🌺💚🙃
Where can I find an evergreen dogwood?
I all looks great! It is amazing how it has filled out since last year. How do you get into your vegetable garden to harvest the greens with the netting and hoops?
It isn't tied on the backside except for the bottom
@@JimPutnam thank you!
Looks great. Where did you get your hat?
Jim,
can you tell me the name of the free plant id you use and talked about once in a video to identify plants. I can’t find it. Thank you
Your yard is just gorgeous!!
Plant net works great
I am a beginning garden who envisions an English garden in my yard.. and happen to live in Raleigh. Can I hire you?
What’s the temperature there?
I'm zone 5. Everything is either dead or dormant. 😢
Fist!
