Dude and Dudette! I've followed now for 5 or 6 years and you have come so far. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, ups and downs, and your experiences. Ya'll are professionals! I'm just a wannabe. 👎 on the dang bermuda! I pulled so much of it from around a blackberry vine today. No way I will ever eliminate it from my yard.......
What happened to the new shovel that one of your viewers sent you? I’m assuming it’s just not broken in enough and you’re waiting for your old one to completely go. I agree sometimes you can’t replace the old.
Did you cut all of your salvias down to the ground now? We have a lot of the Skyscraper pink as well as Rockin' playin' the blues. I can't remember whether I cut mine back in fall or early spring last year, but I believe they all came back for us. We are in the Raleigh area. Thank you for all of your teaching. I have learned so much, especially regarding "leaving the leaves" and building good soil.
We recycle pretty much all plant materials also except for diseased leaves or thorny branches. We also try not to bury the crowns of our plants like you said because it can cause damage and rotting.
I have one of the little, 2 sided tumbler composters. It does well but it just isn’t big enough. I’m hoping you will shoot a video when you make the big one you talked about. The garden looks good all cleaned up! I hope y’all have a wonderful Christmas!🎄
Great video.. and was wondering where all the plant tops and spent annuals go… I assume it goes to a compost area… can you show us that area?… maybe you have and I missed it.
Hey Jim! I lived in Raleigh for 30 yrs. Now in south GA zone 8b. I would love to pay you for just taking a look at my front yard without taking a love tour. I just send a photo of my long line of green holly shrubs. Would just love to receive your thoughts about how to make it more interesting! Had to spend lots of $$ having pines taken out so finally getting round to finer tuning! Please say yes!😊
Hello Jim, question about mulching leaves with lawn mower and putting them back in the garden…. I am worried about bringing fungal disease or some other infection to my soil as many leaves look damaged with changed colors. Is that normal process of yellowing and spending several weeks on the ground? Zone 8b - Virginia Beach
When people visit my house, I go around picking up branches first so they have a clear path to get in. Yep, I have four willow oaks on the property. I'm from the Midwest, where we got glaciated, and soil is deep there. And willow oak, not being a stupid plant, refuses to deal with our winters. I have some trouble figuring out how to deal with 80,000 leaves per tree. They don't disintegrate easily. They're so narrow, they don't respond to my former practice: mow those leaves with a lawn mower until they're pulverized. I notice you have "normal" oak leaves in your garden. How do you deal with willow oak?
Good morning Jim and Stephany 😊 Another wonderful video. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and expertise with us! Such a gift to us gardeners!

You're reminding me of what needs to be done this afternoon! Thanks Jim!

Love that opening scene buddy! Very fun and satisfying from drone ponit of view and really nice music too!
Perfect video timing! I was wondering if it was time for a garden cleanup! 🥳

My garden is only two years old, so I have a way to go to transform my soil in new beds. Thank goodness for Soil3 and mulch.

What do you do with perennials like Salvia, say hardy to Zone 7, that don't completely die back in the winter?

Wow Jim we are on the same page but I still have plants what can I still plant
Do you harvest the seeds from your spent gomphrena or buy new ones next spring?
When can I cut back my sasquana camellia shrubs? I live in Charlotte NC.
Late winter is best before new growth starts

I planted perennials in clay soil and in a year they are the same size as put in… so disappointing
