Thank you. Love everything you do and all the plants you introduce to us... In a future tour video, I would actually like to see the setting...I would like to enjoy the space and not just seeing the plants. Thank you
I love watching your videos, they are very informative but would love to see more of the big picture as in the overall design of your landscape!! Otherwise great job!!
Can you review your business/career path? What got you into the industry. Did you go through traditional program option or got your foot in through a connection for experience? What can you impress on diversifying... really liked your intro opening...didnt know you had so many businesses going on. Love how you label most of your plants. And reviewed problems and possible solutions, such as raising the bed for the "disapointing" pansies. 2:35
I am going to do a question and answer video next week. I will include it in that. I am introducing that video on the Sunday's subscriber video. Thanks for watching.
I have a couple heucherellas and a coral bell. My pumpkin spice heucherella is beautiful and is also on a slope, I am in zone 6a and it never completely died back during the winter even after covered in snow. These plants are very pretty in spring.
Love the tour, your so blessed to have good soil and a great growing zone. I live on a rock, lol. Lots of soil work and harsh extremes here. Really enjoying your work, nice to see another plant lover enjoying our profession.
Beautiful Gardens and landscape! Your passion shows and your knowledge helps those of us trying to decide on plants for our own environs. I live in the WNC mountains so the zone info really helps me decide on plantings. I grew up landscaping all over the Carolinas, Tenn, and Virginia with my Dad but my knowledge of varieties has faded. One thing I readily notice is how the cold hardiness of most species has drastically improved. Just goes to show how living things adapt to their environment.
Dude, you've made a beautiful garden. How on earth have you found time for a landscape business, state fairs, and keeping up that garden and house? You give up on sleeping? Thanks for this video, it was a treat to see what you've done.
Wish i had more shaded areas in my yard, i seriously want some hostas. Need to let my baby trees grow a bit more, maybe 3 years or so ill have enough shade for an actual shade garden.
Looks great! I really enjoy your tour videos, because you give such great tips! Looking forward to seeing the next one day landscape project. p.s. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who’s bad about leaving the garden tags on after the plant is in the ground 😂
Loved the tour of your gardens. Everything is really beautiful (except those columns 😉) and is starting to come together in a nice cohesive manner. Thank you for including names and hardiness zones for your plantings. It also helps to know the exposure as well (N, E, S, W). Have planted cuphea vermillionaire for several years on the southwest side of my house for my hummingbirds but I’m switching things up this year and trying those dark blue salvia!
Hi Jim I am a huge fan of yours and have really enjoyed all of your videos. I was wondering if you could do a video starting in the front of your home and explain the direction and your house sits so we can get an idea on how the sun hits your yard throughout the day. Thank you and hope to hear back from you.
Hi Jim, yard and gardens look great. Appreciate the effort put into producing your videos. Thanks for plant identification. It appears that your mulch with a lot of pine straw. I maintain an area that is roughly 200x300 . A lot of work,but great thearapy.
Your yard is really looking nice! Sounds like you’re going to be very busy this year with all your plans, looking forward to seeing the changes and additions.
i love the viburnums. i have a chinese, japanese, european, leatherleaf, judii, and a doublefile. lol. the leatherleaf gets kinda stinky. the judii smells awesome like daphne.
Thank you for the tour. I love it. I'm wondering what is a good option on fast growing tree for a really wet area the most of the time, zone 7.....thanks
I'm glad. Filming these is easy for me,because it is just conversation. Adding all the names is tedious though. So it's great when people respond positively.
Upper 80 ? its hardly in 40 and rain , nothing blooming yet , anyway i better stop crying about cold weather , everything looking great and thank you for the tour Jim
Do you still go to farmers markets to sell your plants? If so, which market? If not, how do I go about buying plants from you? This spring I cut up an arborvitae-forever golden tree. I got over 125 cuttings in my propagation bins. Great job on the video👍
Wonderful variety of plants in your garden. You also have a great amount of deer "food" in the mix-----things we wouldn't even consider planting unprotected in our Sourthern garden due to the deer problem. How do you protect your deer sensitive plants from the ever present threat?
Looks amazing! That Empress of China dogwood has grown so much already, I look forward to seeing yours in bloom. Btw, do you know if Ninebarks do will in zone 7, I'm in GA, not sure if they like our heat/humidity.
@@JimPutnam Thank you Jim! I may try one to see how it does, as they are so tempting! What are your thoughts on a black lace elderberry? It's another flowering dark foliage one I'd love to have.
It's all looking great so far .. I can't wait to see it all in a couple years ! Do you have any tips on getting mulch for cheaper? I've been buying by the bag and lordy is it ever breaking the bank! 😓
I always buy it bulk from a mulch yard, but in the lean years I would go to the Raleigh dump. Most municipalities grind up all the limbs and leaves and sell them for super cheap
My pansies and violas are all slowing getting some sort of mildew on them. I’ve never had that happen. But we also had lots of rain this year in Georgia. I think I’m just going to pull them out instead of trying to treat them. Should I be concerned about the other plants in the pots?
Looking great Jim!! I know the Encore flower 3 times a year but do they put on new growth with every flowering or just spring? 1st year in the ground just wondering thanks!!
@@JimPutnam Thanks Jim, man it is awesome to see 20+ years of your garden. I'm just at the start of mine and enjoying it so much. Thanks for responding it's so cool you actually do. Sets you apart from other you tubers.
I know you didn't discuss this in this video but what type of 1 year fertilizer were you using at the nursery. And a second thanks for listing zones with the names.
@@JimPutnam thanks for the reply. Another question with so many varieties of npk combinations which would you use for cuttings (going to try my hand at some blueberry cuttings this year) and for vegetable garden. Love your channel and what your doing. Keep on keeping on. Thanks again
I did a making mulch video early last year. I actually do everything from shredding leaves, to buying mulch, to chipping mulch, to using neighbors leaves that they are getting rid of.
Just spoke to an "old timer" who was buying play sand to sprinkle on his heavy clay soil. He said it helps to loosen the clay. Never thought of that one myself, but it sounds like it would work... and it's cheap.
Hey, sorry I hadn't seen this. I wouldn't add sand to clay soil. You could create unwanted compaction problems. Organic material is the best option. Compost or Pine Bark is best
Thank you. Love everything you do and all the plants you introduce to us...
In a future tour video, I would actually like to see the setting...I would like to enjoy the space and not just seeing the plants.
Thank you
I plan on putting up my drone for June. Thanks for watching
Wow Jim, you’ve been busy! Thanks for sharing with us 👍🏼
Thanks for watching
I absolutely appreciate how you put the names and zones on your videos. Your place looks great
Thank you for putting the ZONES in and a NAME. I'm in zone 6a and love to watch you!
I love watching your videos, they are very informative but would love to see more of the big picture as in the overall design of your landscape!! Otherwise great job!!
Janice Martin My thoughts exactly.

I love your oakleaf hydrangeas! They're one of my favorites!
Mine too. I am going to collect a few more varieties this year.
@@JimPutnam I have a beautiful snowqueen oakleaf hydrangea with about 50 blooms 😀 cant wait to see yours in full bloom.
I love how you put growing zone under the plant name! It helps me, as I'm in a different zone than you. 😁
Thanks for another great video Jim! I'm sure the longer videos are a pain to edit but I really enjoy them! Your landscape is looking great!
Thanks Danny. I appreciate the feedback.
Amazing video thank you for showing your wonderful garden.

Your new landscape is looking great!
those Salvias are so cool! Thank you for the tour and name / zone tagging. Really helpful
Thanks for watching. It's a bit long so thanks for sticking with it.
Just now watching this video and came across this comment. It’s fun to see two of my favorite gardeners interacting!
So many beautiful plants! Kudos to you for preserving your 6' camellia and giving it the time, TLC and space to revive itself.
Thanks for watching Jean

That redbud tree is nice!
I am a big Redbud fan. Thanks for watching

The Sslvia are just easy. They can bully other perennials though.
Those red towers would be great to put hanging baskets on. Then plant them up with trailing flowers.
Wow you have been busy. Looking great. It’s fun watching your channel grow along with your garden.
Thank you for following along. I am blown away with the growth this year.
Hi Jim I am a huge fan of yours and have really enjoyed all of your videos. I was wondering if you could do a video starting in the front of your home and explain the direction and your house sits so we can get an idea on how the sun hits your yard throughout the day.

Great tour!
Hi Jim, yard and gardens look great. Appreciate the effort put into producing your videos. Thanks for plant identification. It appears that your mulch with a lot of pine straw. I maintain an area that is roughly 200x300 . A lot of work,but great thearapy.
That's a big space. I use all different kinds of mulch. I have some pines that I can get some free mulch from. Thanks for watching.
Loved the tour. Can't wait to see the paths and fences take shape as I have that in my future also.
Thanks for watching. Good luck with all your projects.
The tour was great! Thank you ! Holly was cute!
She is the best dog I have ever had. She is almost 11 now.
Your yard is really looking nice! Sounds like you’re going to be very busy this year with all your plans, looking forward to seeing the changes and additions.
Thanks Peggy.
i love the viburnums. i have a chinese, japanese, european, leatherleaf, judii, and a doublefile. lol. the leatherleaf gets kinda stinky. the judii smells awesome like daphne.
Yeah, the fragrance on viburnums is all over the place.
Thank you for the tour. I love it. I'm wondering what is a good option on fast growing tree for a really wet area the most of the time, zone 7.....thanks
Gorgeous! It has been so fun to see what you are doing!
Thanks. Weirdest landscape job ever though. It goes at the pace of videos.
Looks great! The white wedding hydrangeas I bought from you look just like yours do right now, and I'm excited to see them bloom later :)
Awesome. It is a great variety. Thanks for watching.
I'm pretty sure my property in Garner is smaller than yours and the chaos in my driveway never ends, haha.
😁
Love the garden tours!

as always.......you da man.
Thanks Toby
Looking great! I like the longer garden tours. Can't wait to see all the hardscaping go in. Have you thought about landscape lighting?
Yes, lighting and irrigation will be going in. Thanks for asking
What ya like? Jack mani clematis needs serious trellis 🙄 come on Jim get your act together . Great garden well done for names too E T
you going to plant the worlds largest hosta under that red bud. "Empress Wu' its a huge bold statement plant
I do like one. Thanks for watching.
what is the end result or what is your plan for you garden? I'm trying to figure out the method of your madness, if I may say.
my pansies croaked around Christmas. But my Johnny jump ups have never done better. I think I'm done with pansies. Last 3 years they didn't do squat,
Mine were good last winter. They definitely need good drainage, but there was just no chance of that this year.
Enjoyable. Why don't you use ground cover, plant ground cover?
Looks amazing! That Empress of China dogwood has grown so much already, I look forward to seeing yours in bloom. Btw, do you know if Ninebarks do will in zone 7, I'm in GA, not sure if they like our heat/humidity.
They do better with a little afternoon shade in the south, but it is worth a try. I'm almost in zone 8 so I dont have any in this yard.
@@JimPutnam Thank you Jim! I may try one to see how it does, as they are so tempting! What are your thoughts on a black lace elderberry? It's another flowering dark foliage one I'd love to have.

Most of the time different plants won't get the same issues, but if it were me I would wash them well. Maybe even use a little bleach in them
@@JimPutnamThanks. I have some alyssum and primrose in the same container. Those are what I was wondering about, if they'll get the same mildew issue.
Looking great Jim!! I know the Encore flower 3 times a year but do they put on new growth with every flowering or just spring? 1st year in the ground just wondering thanks!!
Yes, they flush after the spring and summer flowering. They need some extra water at those times.
@@JimPutnam Thanks Jim, man it is awesome to see 20+ years of your garden. I'm just at the start of mine and enjoying it so much. Thanks for responding it's so cool you actually do. Sets you apart from other you tubers.
Great video such a wide variety of plants. What zone are you in?
Thank you. I'm in zone 7b
👋😀
Jim, where can I get Japanese snowbell tree?
🥰😍👍
Please share photos in Facebook as well
I know you didn't discuss this in this video but what type of 1 year fertilizer were you using at the nursery. And a second thanks for listing zones with the names.
I actually used Harrell's. It's a green prill
@@JimPutnam thanks for the reply. Another question with so many varieties of npk combinations which would you use for cuttings (going to try my hand at some blueberry cuttings this year) and for vegetable garden. Love your channel and what your doing. Keep on keeping on. Thanks again
Are you selling the plants in your driveway? I’m in Raleigh and would be interested in seeing what you have :)
Me too! :-)
Do you have a list of the plants you have left? Can you ship them?
do you chip your own mulch?if yes can or have you done a video on it?thank you Jim
I did a making mulch video early last year. I actually do everything from shredding leaves, to buying mulch, to chipping mulch, to using neighbors leaves that they are getting rid of.
Can anyone please suggest what I can do with heavy clay soil? Before planting what type of treatment can I do for clay soil to get better? Thank you.
Just spoke to an "old timer" who was buying play sand to sprinkle on his heavy clay soil. He said it helps to loosen the clay. Never thought of that one myself, but it sounds like it would work... and it's cheap.

@@JimPutnam Thanks, Jim. I'll leave the sand in the sand box.
