What is the netting on the milk jugs? Where do you get it? Does it keep out squirrels, etc from digging into the soil in the milkjugs?

I like that your garden areas are real. I like you talking in the video. I like that you are real. I grow anise hyssop and enjoy this perennial. I saw my first Zebra Swallowtail butterfly on one and chased it around to get a picture. Bees love it. Great idea for recycling the political signs into plant stakes. Thanks.

Orange and black bugs are milkweed beetles, and they are eating milkweed aphids (much smaller yellow aphids which feed on the milkweed). So many bugs supported by these plants!!

DOH! What I really meant to ask is, "What do you do between Christmas and St. Patrick's Day in a 3 foot X 30 foot bed of Black Eyed Susan's which has grown to have quite high plant density? The bed grows almost like "Black Eyed Susan Tall Grass" (I made up that name to paint a mental picture). I'm thinking about a hedge trimmer haircut in mid-February. Is that a bad idea? NOTE: I rather like the "solid" mass of green/yellow/black of this bed.

You missed giving us some guidance. At about 12:30 into the video we were looking at standing stalks in the snow and by 12:45 we see March conditions . . . but no standing stalks. What "treatment" brought about that change?

Honey bee wings don’t operate until nearing 50 degree Fahrenheit.

I so appreciate your format of seed to end of growing and only one plant. Thank you!

Thanks you for this! I wasn’t sure if I can cut back the old stems come spring

Fun. I’ve come to really enjoy prairie drop seed. Thanks for sharing

What online native plant stores do you buy from

How did you sow the seeds. Process please….and mulch b4 or after

Prairie Smoke - Geum triflorum flowers are a little funny looking but the seed heads is where they look Dr. Seuss to me

Nice job showcasing the "lifecycle" of an anise hyssop plant!

Thank you for the video. Here in south east Georgia, we have warm season fire that seems to help the milkweed grow better

that's a really cool website, thanks for the resources!

such a cute idea!

I`m really bad at planting flowers for the pollinators. The clover I planted is growing though and I now know I have at least one Anise Hyssop growing inside in a pot. I didn`t know it would survive the winter and just dug it up. I didn`t even know what it was but I had attempted to grow some seeds earlier this year and this has to be the only survivor. I`ll transplant it in a good place next March so it can create a patch for the bees. The bees have been visiting my blooming basil and cape gooseberries but earwigs ate every last berry. I left the huge plants for the bees even though I needed to remove them to grow carrots but I couldn`t take away their flowers. I`ll dig them up and grow them in a different area for them next year and keep overwintering them since they will come back each year. The bees were still out there today on November 25. We`re getting a freeze this week so I`ve been digging things up to grow inside like my ground cherry seedlings that came up this fall from ones that fell on the ground so I can continue eating fruit this winter. I have a huge package of pollinator seeds and I`m gonna plant them in January & February because supposedly some of them need cold weather to sprout. Some came up after I planted a few in September but I don`t know what they are because they`re mixed seeds. I`m planting them in my ground cherry patch in the sunniest spot in my yard. I kept seeing hummingbirds and butterflies looking for flowers so I got a hummingbird feeder and these seeds. The day after I put up the feeder there was a cloud of hummingbirds fighting over it. They were migrating and didn`t stay very long but I had to fill it twice a day.

I managed to get one plant to grow but I forgot I planted them in a pot with a ground cherry and noticed it blooming later in the garden where I transplanted it. I smelled the leaves and the flowers were pretty but I didn`t know what it was and just let it grow. In case it was a special plant I just dug it up and brought it in under lights before the frost. I noticed it was growing new sprouts near the base.

love when this happens

Let me just do some research on the good Nazi’s did, and why Christians in the USA love the idea of fascism real quick… 😬

What a super creative idea!! Love this so much.

Only a Republican would try to theme a plant video on politics. Nature is too good for Republicans 😂

I think I love this video the best of the three (even though I don't think of myself as moderate). Love the wit, the jokes, and the plant selection is beautiful, too! I am a bit biased toward purple flowers, though. My mom's favorite color was purple, and I miss her much. Happy gardening!💜💜💜

A suggestion, if I may. Some of the plants that you have mentioned in these three videos may be seen by people for the first time. Could you do videos on the lesser known and unique flowers and plants? Maybe 10 minute clips talking about what they are, what their role in the ecosystem is, and what animals / insects they attract. Just a thought. Thanks for the upload!

Lol i see this little series triggered some people, sad how angry people have gotten over politics.

Brilliant video theme! Love your native garden designs. Trilliums are so pretty…I hope I can find an appropriate place for some in my own garden some day.

I love your native garden design videos! They always put a smile on my face. I hope you keep doing them whenever you can. I’ve been growing to love native grasses. I definitely should have added some sooner. Now I have little bluestem, switchgrass, purple love grass, pink muhly grass, broomsedge bluestem, side oats gramma, river oats, and Indian Grass! So excited to see them fill in.

Thanks for the video! Might want to change the common name for Asclepias tuberosa as you marked it as butterfly bush instead of butterfly weed. Don't want people planting the invasive bush 🙂

Dies this apply to all Black eyed Susan like the Fulgida Sullivanti variety too?

This was a calming and fascinating video, your passion is coming through and it's very contagious. I want to plant and observe all the things now!

LOVE this!! Great series :)

Love your passion for native plants! Such important info in here! Thanks for sharing 💚

I love my swamp milkweed! I find that it has a fragrance of candy - no wonder the pollinators love it! Thank you for sharing this super informative video! Hope it inspires many more people to plant this beautiful plant too! 💚🦋

thank you for the informative video. I just bought two plants at a native plant sale .I understand they need moist soil. I assure your soil is kept moist. Thanks again.

My favorite native ❤

I like your paneling, looks vintage, like mine😊

Hi if you cut this back before it flowers would it produce more blooms on a shorter sturdier plant?

Your presentations are great! Thanks also for the helpful information. Including what you have in the description.

Thank you

Do you have bunny issues…bunnies ate mine 😒? Thanks Sprayed n caged .. but they were too munched on to grow…

It is so nice to hear a for-real person speaking. That artificial robot narration is so annoying!

Com up June in northern Maine

Thank you--this was exactly what I'd been looking for. ♥

Excellent video. Thank you

Can anyone tell me if Monarchs will lay their eggs on a cultivar and/or will the eggs develop? I have a 'Cinderella' swamp weed which I picked up at a nursery (labelled as Native). The Monarch was nectaring on the plant often but I saw no eggs whatsoever on it.

Thank you from Moscow.

Thank you for this video, so helpful!!

Spectacular! THANKS! Subscribed!

Love this series so much thank you :)

So far, 2nd and probably last flower flush of the growing season on mine! Never thought I’d see flowers in August and I saw a neighbour’s orange milkweed blooming same as mine too! 🎊
