[@leesteal4458]

Who moved you?

[@AmritaBhortake]

@@leesteal4458 This year the USDA came up with a new zoning map and many areas have moved to warmer zones. My zone changed from 10A to 10B. Not a huge change for me but for people in colder zones, it could make a little difference in when you start your plants.

[@leesteal4458]

@@AmritaBhortake Thank you but I think it's best to know know your soil and your weather conditions rather than your zone. What do you think?

[@AmritaBhortake]

@@leesteal4458 Hi Lee, I absolutely agree with you on knowing your soil and weather conditions especially microclimates. But if you are a beginner and are out there buying plants, you need to start with something and zones help you narrow your choices down. Once you have that, you can then use your soil and microclimate to decide whether or not it works for you. I look at it as a whole package rather than a singular entity to make the final decision on. Even after all the research, nothing will give you the actual experience of growing it and then learning from it for the next year.

Hi, I'm in Zone 10a. Riverside, CA, to be specific. I have had blooms from Itoh peonies. They are not as flashy as herbaceous peonies, but it scratches my itch for peonies. I grow "Scrumdiddlyumptious," and "All That Jazz." Last year I got about 5 blooms on All That Jazz, and one on Scrumdiddlyumptious. This year I only got two on All That Jazz, a zero on Scrumdiddly. They have been in ground for a few years. All That Jazz is planted on the South side of the house, but it is on the North side of a wall. Scrumdiddly is on the East side of the house. I might try another one on the North side of the house, which is much cooler than any other area in the garden.

Love the video & great list. I live in the UK, where the weather is different, but most of these are suitable for our climate as well. I love the look of yarrow but I have heard that it can grow a bit too aggressively in some situations. I have planted lots of lavenders this year but (after some issues with Spanish Lavender in the past), I have opted for a hybrid variety which can deal with cold & damp conditions better. It is called "Sensational" and it is basically a smaller version of a more well known one, which is called "Phenomenal". Such humble names, ha ha.

[@AmritaBhortake]

Yes, you are right about Yarrow or any other native plant. The part that makes them do so well as natives also means that they can dominate the garden. It didn’t work in my garden although I would have liked more of Yarrow here but I can totally see that happening. Hahaha that’s hilarious. Love those names. I should try a hybrid variety of lavenders next time.

I watched your show for the first time today and I live in Vancouver, Canada zone 7-8. One way you can control slugs, and snails in your garden is by throwing some crumbled egg shells around the plant’s base. This definitely keeps them out. I do it around lettuce and kale plants too and it keeps them away. I have blackeyed Susan plants and they don’t necessarily attract snails and slugs. But yes they do like all chewable leaves. Throwing few salt crystals also helps. Just my 3 cents worth. Sorry about the loss of your father. But you haven’t lost him - he is just some place else. We will connect again someday…❤

For flowers: Salvia a a great option for lavender and blue flowers, a good option is Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' (Sage) and you can combine them with a grass like Stipa tenuissima (Mexican Feather Grass) or Phalaris arundinacea (Variegated Ribbon Grass) that is variegated with white and green colors.

I love your accent… 💕

Thank you for your kind words.

Ive been told the "kansas" variety of peonies can handle the warm weather better, I've also considered just sticking the whole pot in the refrigerator 🤣

[@AmritaBhortake]

Oh fantastic! Thanks so much for the recommendation. Hahahaha omg that’s hilarious! I absolutely feel the same 😂

[@judithmccrea2601]

I live in the Sierra Nevada at 4000 feet. It gets really hot here in the summer. My peonies do just fine. Just saying. 😊

[@AmritaBhortake]

@@judithmccrea2601 whoa, really? Any specific varieties that you’ve tried out that you love?

[@judithmccrea2601]

@@AmritaBhortakethe Itoh peonies don’t last as long as the traditional ones. They’re out now. I will see if I can take a couple pictures. Not really good at this tech stuff because I’m 75. 😆😆😆. But I will try.🤷🏼

[@AmritaBhortake]

@judithmccrea2601 thanks so much, Judith! That’s really helpful. The fact that you are online commenting and answering questions means you are pretty amazing, especially at tech😊

How densely do we need to seed them to fill a container or have groupings of them in a garden bed?

[@AmritaBhortake]

I do groupings in my raised bed usually set in odd numbers of 3,5 or 7 as it makes the space look visually appealing. But you can also fill the entire container with the same flower.

I have a peony that grows really well here in central coast, California I just don’t remember the name

[@AmritaBhortake]

Oooooh that's exciting! If you find the name, please let me know. I would love to add it to my garden.
