This space is the furthest from finished. It has a lot of interesting plants. It will get much closer to being finished in the next few months. There is now a playlist for all of these videos in this series. ua-cam.com/play/PLxYqoR2FCE_1MGa8WltgyXGuswMfHYSUL.html
I love how you introduce great plants most have never seen. Texture & coloration is so much fun in the shade/part shade. It requires more thought & understanding of the plants to make the beautiful & interesting garden you've got going on. I'm loving these detailed vids!
Love these slow & detailed videos, along with your sharing of personal experience with each plant. I recently planted 2 Illicium floridanum shrubs and am so happy with them. Had to buy large size, but glad I did.
Hey Jim when you done in a few months you're gonna have to move again! Lol only kidding.Wow I can't believe how much you've gotten done it really looks nice. I'm enjoying your videos. I hope you do sit back and enjoy all your efforts.
Jim I’m really enjoying your garden tour and so impressed with its appearance in such a short time.Maybe I’ve missed it but it doesn’t seem like you use the daylily family much.Any reasons for this?
I live in Western Texas where it got -17 and stayed below zero for 10 days this winter. All 6 of my Soft Caress Mahonia looked dead and died back to the ground. Took them awhile but 5 of the 6 came back and are looking good!
Thank you for giving us the good, bad and ugly with these plants. Everyone shows their plants at the top of their game, which is understandable but I wondered why my hydrangeas had ugly brown spots on these. I just thought it was my care. I also compared my coneflowers to the others beauties and they came up short. As a new gardener I am learning everything has a season and it isn't always my fault.
That was maybe my favorite of all the July tour videos, because of all the unique shrubs and groundcovers. However, can't believe you'd talk about your mahonia like that, and to its face!
Jim, Have you been hit harder by ants on your veggies? And, will your fence by similar to the smart woman gardener you had plan to start a channel with? Her’s is horizontal too. Love this look and hope it will use less lumber?!
I love all the more unusual plants you showed today, especially the nandina. I have planted and killed brunnera 4 different times (I am in the Atlanta, GA area) planted in various shade conditions , with average moisture. The leaves just turn black! Is there a secret to getting them established?
By waiting for wood prices to go down for your fence, I can look forward to the savings going into looking after current and buying new plants for your garden tours! No problem for me waiting for the fence if that is the reward!
Dont worry about showing us the mess Jim, it's called reality everyone has a spot in there garden thats a catch all, crap, trainwreck of an area. But maybe you could find some dry shade ferns to put back along the Woodline and do a video on dry shade ground covers and perennial things. I struggle with very dry shade under my maple tree and sun bc the back (which faces west) is cut flat due to powerlines
You are so lucky you don’t have voles. Here on my .75 acres in chapel hill the voles destroy hosta and farfugium. I stated over on those with permatill and gopher baskets.
Love love your detailed garden tour. I’m sitting here with my pen and pad. What are your favorite nurseries in Raleigh area. And Fuqua Varina. I’m in Duplin county
For a WIP, it looks great! We have a fence line like yours, it backs up to a wooded area too. So, I'm looking forward to what you do with yours. Our wooden fence needs to be refurbished, like you, were waiting for the price of lumber to go down.
Hi Jim, great vid. I have a "Work in Progress" part of my front yard 72 x 160 city lot. I am determined to conquer it next Spring and finally be done. It has been a pain in the rear end for years. Weeds and nothing lives that I plant. Complete soil removal, a retaining wall and replanting. I really enjoy your vids alot here south of Chicago in Illinois. Pet Holly and Griffin and you have a great weekend.
Hi Jim. I have been following along with all your videos. I love everything you have done and get a lot of inspiration from you. We have similar gardening mentality-I like to start plants from seed and just plant “it” and if it doesn’t work there-move it. My whole yard is a work in progress! I do have a couple questions: 1) what kind of potting soil do you use (I use lots of pots in my landscape) and currently use miracle grow potting mix and 2) I have lots of hellebores. After blooming they remain green throughout the summer, but about this time of year they start to flop. I’ve had them for many years, but for the first time last year I cut them back to the ground and they came back beautifully. Thanks so much for the videos and all the knowledge you offer-and inspiration.
Hi Jim! Loving your garden tours! I have a request. I live in Oklahoma and have mostly alkaline soil. Wondering if when you are talking about the plants and giving details about each plant if you can specify if it is something that requires acidic soil. I get my hopes up for some of the plants that you talk about but then when I Google it I find out it can’t really tolerate our alkaline soil, bummer. Thanks😎
Good Morning Jim. Thanks as always for sharing your information. Your garden is quite lovely. Would you mind sharing the name of your friends nursery in Benson if it's retail. I live in that area. Thanks
Hi from This is Rosa from Houston,my question is how often do you mulch? your mulch always looks fresh and also what do you think about cedar mulch? Thanks
So I have a question about mulch. Is there any difference in triple shredded cedar mulch vs triple shred hardwood mulch. I have several perennials planted along with roses, hydrangeas, and peonies plus adding pollinators. It’s a garden in progress. Any guidance appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for all you share! I just moved to western North Carolina up in the mountains. I think black bulgar fungus is growing on one of my trees and I don't know if that's a problem. Do you have any advice? Thanks so much!
That is the small round plant on the back across from the camellia? I have one I got from my nieces yard. Mine blooms yellow flowers but I don’t know what they are called.
That Golden Oakland Holly gets 12’ - 15’ wide and 15’ to 20’ tall. Do you plan on moving the other shrubs as the holly matures? Or, will you have to severely prune it every year to keep it in check? Are there any dwarf choices?
Ajuga is fickle in my garden. It seems to do fine in sun or shade but sometimes it just ups and dies in random spots. Do you or anyone else have that issue?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE showing every plant. I stop the video and take notes. thank you!!!!!

Enjoyed your entry 🎶
Imagine these wonderful detailed tours will get even better as this landscape matures, and we will see the progression of the plants/shrubs/trees.
You have accomplished so much in a short period of time. It looks fabulous!
Love your garden tours and I like how you tell about each plant ! 👍😎

Excellent! I was waiting for this episode of shade perennials!
I live in Western Texas where it got -17 and stayed below zero for 10 days this winter. All 6 of my Soft Caress Mahonia looked dead and died back to the ground. Took them awhile but 5 of the 6 came back and are looking good!
Hugging the Mahonia 😂

I always enjoy watching your updates. You have a lot of different and interesting plants. I would have picked up the unique Acuba too!
That was maybe my favorite of all the July tour videos, because of all the unique shrubs and groundcovers. However, can't believe you'd talk about your mahonia like that, and to its face!
Great video! Amazed on how you know each plant name. Look forward to the veggie tour.
Jim, Have you been hit harder by ants on your veggies? And, will your fence by similar to the smart woman gardener you had plan to start a channel with? Her’s is horizontal too. Love this look and hope it will use less lumber?!
Your garden has so many beautiful babies, love it!!
I'm in zone 6 but I love your tours for the plant knowledge. Your collection is extensive.
Thank you for the videos! Keep them coming! :)

Thank you for sharing your plants/progress. I can relate on the fence - waiting on prices to fall fir a few projects here too.
NEED to know your music playlists! Love this tune! 😁
I love hollies💚🙃

Man I love ajuga. I have burgundy glow,black scallop,and chocolate chip. I want to add fancy finch and cordial canary
You are so lucky you don’t have voles. Here on my .75 acres in chapel hill the voles destroy hosta and farfugium. I stated over on those with permatill and gopher baskets.
Check out a hosta PW called autumn frost. Nice with margins. My favorite
the acuba could be a male plant the gold dust will get red berries the stems will go black if it gets to much sun mine did
Love this!!

Holding my breath on lumber cost, too. Garden looks beautiful already!
Thank you!

I was able to write down a few more plants that I can grow in my zone😉💚🙃
Good Morning Jim. Thanks as always for sharing your information. Your garden is quite lovely. Would you mind sharing the name of your friends nursery in Benson if it's retail. I live in that area. Thanks
C and J nursery
Jim, did you start from scratch with plants at your new home or did you bring a lot of your plants from your old place with you?
Hi from This is Rosa from Houston,my question is how often do you mulch? your mulch always looks fresh and also what do you think about cedar mulch? Thanks
Pittasporum are great hedging shrubs I’ve heard.
So I have a question about mulch. Is there any difference in triple shredded cedar mulch vs triple shred hardwood mulch. I have several perennials planted along with roses, hydrangeas, and peonies plus adding pollinators. It’s a garden in progress. Any guidance appreciated. Thanks

I want be here long enough for it to get that big🤣. Also nothing is permanent in my landscape. It is all visitors
I think I read somewhere that optimal time for cuttings were from March to the beginning of June. Is that true?
Most things are best as the spring flush gardens off. I would put that in June and July. We did 250000 cuttings every year during those two months
Ajuga is fickle in my garden. It seems to do fine in sun or shade but sometimes it just ups and dies in random spots. Do you or anyone else have that issue?
What is the round leaf plant in the thumbnail?
Farfugium japonicum var. giganteum
@@JimPutnam thanks! It will be in my landscape soon😁
am in pain watching all the plants i cannot have cuz am in zone 6
👍❤️😊
I will be surprised if that farfugium survives this winter...of course y'all are urban but it didn't survive in Georgia in the country....
I am ripping out my Nandia. It is spreading rapidly and is an awful color and just bleh
This one doesn't spread at all.
@@JimPutnam well that would be a variety I would be interested in
