    No matter how many of Jim's videos I watch, I'm forever blown away by his knowledge and ability to recall the names of hundreds (probably thousands) of plants.

    I saw your new guinea impatiens and it made me remember that I left a new guinea impatien on the porch and forgot to plant it! I literally jumped up in the middle of the video to go grab it! It was a little crispy but there's still some green so I'm hoping it'll bounce back with some water. 😌 Ooops!

    I like the darker, cool-colored sweet potato vines; they tend to "calm down" vibrant foliaged plants when sited alongside them. I'm using them this year in a shared space with variegated radicans gardenia. The contrast in color and texture works well. Unattended foliar variegation makes my eyes vibrate.

    I have two huge spikes I planted in the ground when I moved in 2017. I am in NC 7B also. I never had them over winter before at the other house. I had three, but I had to cut the center one down this year because is was blocking sun from my herbs. The stalk was unreal I wish i had measured the diameter. I had no idea they could get so big. I probably need to take the other two down also, I just hate to it. I am 5'5 and they are as high as my waist or more and very thick. They even survived that 12 inches of snow we had in Dec 2018.

    I enjoy growing variegated sage Salvia officinalis ‘Aurea’ for its leaves and they were hardy in 4b, trimmed for size twice already, next to a clematis roguchi. Never tried to see if tri-color version overwinters here but both recommended for leaf variegation in dry sunny areas.

    Love the barberry bush. So pretty!! I’m a new gardener in IN zone 6b. I have filled my yard with tons of beautiful new plants this year. In order to save money, I usually buy all my plants in 4.5 qt pots or grow from cuttings. I always pinch my flowers when they are small to get more flower production. Do I also need to pinch my new bushes as well (smoke bush, hydrangea, weiglia, lemon lace elderberry, black lace elderberry)? Please help, my local garden center said they were not sure and I know not to ask the teenagers who work at Lowe’s lol. I love to watch your videos. Thank you for inspiring me.

      Hello, I’m no expert but I feel it’s best not to prune any trees or shrubs for about a year while they recover from being planted and get adjusted. Then I prune them at the appropriate time, but always look them up first before pruning to be sure.

    • @gr8gardn
      @gr8gardn 3 роки тому

      I’m sorry you and Jim were disappointed but glad I’m in good company. I planted 2 of the light blue and 1 deeper blue patio salvia. Each had one exquisite blue bloom and one bud. I happily planted them where I can see them from my desk and from my family room then waited for show. Two blooms a piece and show over. Now I have 3 square feet of prime bed space full of unremarkable foliage to remind me I was duped by a pretty blue bloom 🙄.

    You don't do treads by scale. Building code 7 in rise max by 11" run minimum. GA rules require a sizable landing pad under the last step at bottom and a sizable platform in lieu of the top step. That would pull the steps away from the house further but not make the individual steps bigger

    the winter, your in a much warmer climate. Have you lost any of your container pots in the winter. You have alot of pots
    outside. I can't imagin you having to empty and store all your pots. Alot of them look concrete so they probably won't
    crack in cold weather? How do you deal with that? Thanks Connie

    I have a question about your October magic camellias. This is my second year have several and they appear to have large amounts of “fruit“. My less than 2‘ x 2‘ shrub has at least 10 quarter sized fruits per shrub. Do you pop these off or do you leave them on? I wondered if it draws unnecessary energy and would benefit the shrub to remove. Curious.
