HortTube with Jim Putnam thanks so much for the helpful video...i’m nearby in raleigh and also struggling with the lack of rain. P.S. would love to see you do a video on cleyera.
This is FANTASTIC watering information. We had a very wet fall and winter of 2018/2019 especially during the 10" of rain we received during Hurricane Florence, but our usual drought time came early this summer. After planting much new material I have had to water a lot, prompting me to begin installing above-ground drip irrigation. Your videos for installing drip have greatly helped me in this process, and I am already so pleased with this new way of watering. Thanks again for all this knowledge.
Very helpful! I’m in 7b and have planted a lot this spring. We had a lot of rain last month and now nothing with 100 degree days. Thank you for the tips!
I like the closed captioning, my husband is hard of hearing and I know how helpful the captioning is for folks. And thanks for the info on the drought stress wilting. Know what I'm going to do tomorrow. Happy Independence Day.
I'm so happy I found your channel! I bit off more than I can chew after buying a home in upstate new york and I'm up to my ears in planting and maintaining my garden. your videos are so helpful.
Very helpful information. We had such a cool and wet spring here in zone7a. Now it’s terribly hot, humid and no rain. Everything is under stress. I’ll be outside this evening pruning off the new growth tips. Your expert advice is greatly appreciated.
First of all, all your vids are helpful. Second, i love longer vids and dont even consider this long, so keep them coming. Next, co,or me green with envy over those 40 boxwoods! Dont know what they run in your area, but out here that size is a minimum of 30 each, probably more, which is why i havent planted my longed for box hedges. Finally, i am old and it is only in the last few years i have started to hear people say you cant plant in the july and august months. Shoot, i grew up on a farm in the deep south and, lol, that would have been nice, but i know it isnt true. What really amused me was to hear a nursery owner out here in the Pac NW say that, keeping in mind that hot here only lasts a relatively short time and, while we dont have AC for the most part, it still isnt as consistently hot here in Aug as it can be in May and early June in the deep south. :D we do have to water often as, believe it or not, as wet as it might be other times of the year, we do not get rain in the summer. Already, we have had a terribly dry spring and last summer went for 88 days with no rainfall.
Your videos are very informative and helpful. I always learn a few new tips to help keep my plants healthy and happy. Thanks for creating great content!
Hi Jim. I have a year old black diamond crepe Myrtle that I moved from it’s original planted area in my yard and (2-3 months since transplanting) all leaves have fell off and not come back. The other 3 I moved (all in the same bed) at the same time all are doing great. I did scratch the bark and it’s green. Should I leave it and see if it comes back next year, or cut back to the ground, or it’s a goner? All the trees are about 3 feet high and I water heavily, regularly with the TX lack of rain. Thanks for helpful video.
HortTube with Jim Putnam I was about to go pull the tree and saw some new growth! Glad my patience paid off as I get to save a plant/tree :-). Thanks for the helpful videos as always.
That is a tough call, because it is almost to late for them to have time to set new flower buds. If you think they are in trouble then I would prune them slightly
This one is a little long. Hopefully it has some beneficial information. Thanks for watching

You need to write a book...esp tips for planting/watering, etc.
Your videos are very informative and helpful. I always learn a few new tips to help keep my plants healthy and happy. Thanks for creating great content!
This is super helpful!! Thanks
I'm glad. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much for this video..very very helpful!
I've learned so much from your videos, just wanted to thank you.
Can’t wait for the “Black Diamond” Or “Delta series” Crape Myrtle propagation. Thanks for the video.
I hope you find a home for all of those beautiful hydrangea flowers you'll have to cut off!
Great tips! Plant n trim.
Great info Jim! And, it looks like a 3-shirt kind of day!
Oh yeah, definitely.
Such great info.
Thank you
Great tip about mulch, this is probably with my new Crype Myrtle tree looks so bad. Thank you.
Great video! I though I was done planting until fall.
Awesome. Thank you. Always great information
Great info! Thanks!

As long as you can bend the branches and they don't snap, it has some chance. Seems unlikely after that amount of time though.
HortTube with Jim Putnam Thank you Jim. Branches are definitely brittle and snap pretty easy.

Thank you....
Great video Jim. What are your thoughts on leaf mulch instead of wood mulch?
If I had enough leaf mold, it would be all I would use. The arboretum in my area uses only leaves.
flipper 3:54 Happy 4th!!
When you prune your salvia, do you just prune the flower stalks or should I prune the entire plant?
I cut the entire plant in half. You could just deadhead it, but it will end up even bigger to rebloom.
Very spiffy
My azaleas look like there under heat stress. Do I prune the top layer off?
That is a tough call, because it is almost to late for them to have time to set new flower buds. If you think they are in trouble then I would prune them slightly
I feel your pain so annoying to water
