Thank you Noelle for all of the information and ideas of what we can plant to add color & vibrancy to the garden. Garden Phlox Jeanna, Crocosma, and Autumn Joy and the list goes on. I was thinking about adding Coneflowers but we have clay soil even though amended but pieces are finally breaking down. Don't think I will purchase coneflowers yet because as you mentioned they do not like clay soil. Also, had wanted to add Hostas in a shaded area but as you know always best to wait until Fall. You always mention such valuable information as we're always constantly learning. Have a wonderful day & I wonder if you have a favorite garden flower? There are so many beauties! Take good care& thanks again. 🌻
Thank you for these videos! I especially like hearing gardening advice that is specific to our area. Question: I want to raise the soil level of a flower bed because of soil compaction and poor drainage. If I add thick layers of compost, do I need to dig up the existing perennials first and then replant? Or can I just add compost and mulch layers around them? Can I do that at this time of year?
Thank you for watching! If you are raising the soil level more than 3", then you will want to dig (opportunity to divide), and replant at the raised soil level. It is best to do this in late summer/early fall which will work well for most spring and summer blooming perennials. If you are adding just a couple inches of organic matter (compost is great) each year in the fall and cultivating it in around the perennials, you will eventually see/feel a difference in the drainage and dig-ability of your soil within 3-5 years. You will not need to dig the plants in this case. An application of 1-2" of mulch is all you need during the growing season. Espoma Soil Perfector and Biochar are other amendments that can help with drainage and compaction.
Always look forward to all your videos. In Store are my favorites.

The deer had a plan to delay blooming when they chomped off most of the buds on my sedum.
How do I know how much 1 inch of water is ?
Good video but can you fix the lighting? It was so dark at times I couldn’t see the detailed plants. Thank you 😊 ❤
