[@cmiller974]

Knockout roses! They’re pretty when they first bloom in the spring but if you don’t continuously deadhead, it looks very messy! I had them all removed and replaced with hydrangeas. Soooo much better!!!!

In Australia we use a ightweight gas flame wand with auto-ignition which is ideal for killing all weeds in gravel or paved paths, patios and garden beds. It burns weeds at a safe distance eliminating the need to use nasty chemicals that will poison your soils. This method controls weeds organically and is so easy on your back as there is no bending down. You just walk, point and press! Replacement gas cartridges are easily available here at any hardware store. You only need to just cause the weed to 'collapse', not totally 'burn' for a more economic control. So enjoy your enthusiasm for all you do Linda - its like a little bit of magic and an extra helping hand!

I have to say. I don't usually stick around for the fashion epilog... not because I don't like your fashion, but because I can appreciate your fashion without knowing any more about it. I had already decided (before you asked for thumbs up or thumbs down in the video) to leave a comment telling you how much I liked your dungarees and tank combo today. Really cute!

[@wendywilson-fall3973]

I think you have your own style that is charming because it is authentic. Whether you share where everything comes from or not is definitely not the most important thing. You are interesting for being YOU and your discussions are always interesting. i enjoy watching your style on you, and even though I'd like to have one or two of the things you wear, its not the primary message I'm looking for.

Nandina (Heavenly bamboo)! Beautiful plant but I don’t know how other people contain it. We couldn’t keep it from spreading. It even sent runners under our walkway to another garden area! And then it took YEARS to get rid of it (my husband calls it ‘the hell plant’! ). Morning Glories! I LOVE the blue flowers but they drop their seeds & sprout EVERYWHERE! & again so hard to get rid of them! YES to the fashion segment!❤️

[@Miss_Elle85]

I have a dedicated garden for herbs, I learned the hard way to put everything in clay pots and bury them to the rim. It has truly contained all of my mints (peppermint, mojito, chocolate mint, pineapple mint, and catnip), oregano, thyme, chives, and more. I am careful to cut back when pieces grow to the ground. It's saved me so much work! Zone: same as Linda's 🙂

A large drift of gooseneck loosestrife looks beautiful blowing in the wind but the plants choke out everything else. I’ll never plant it again.

[@Ultima771]

I haven't planted the other things you mentioned but I totally agree about the violets! They seed everywhere, I've been working for 3 years to get rid of them and I think I may have won the battle this year!

[@trishamcneill2533]

My five, plus a bonus. All were inherited with our house. -Oxalis -Nandina -Daylilies -Spider wort -Obedient plant, which is anything but obedient. Should be named Disobedient plant. -Camellia, any and all varieties. Gorgeous blooms aren't enough reward for the tremendous litter they drop. Our paved driveway is lined with 27 camellias and looks so trashy unless we clean them up, winter, spring and even into early summer. Ug.

[@melindamoore9449]

[@juneramirez8580]

Love your videos don't change anything

[@c.d.reynolds9503]

I too have some of yours on my list. My very first invasive plant is Sweet Autumn Clematis. A wonderful, delightful smell when it blooms, but is in every inch of my yard, cannot keep it pulled out. Also garlic chives, re-seed everywhere. Purple wisteria, runners on top of ground for yards. English Ivy. And last Kousa Dogwood, drops strawberry like fruit everywhere and seedlings from one end of yard to the other. Thanks for letting us get this off our chest!!

[@ozarkview928]

Bishops weed or ground elder !! It takes over twining through other plants sending runners underground and popping up all over ! Almost impossible to get rid of it all ! It’s pretty to look at especially in spring !And I’m with you on day lilies.

[@vickiejones7085]

Day lillies for me too. I didn’t take care of mine for years and when I retired and had more time I realized they didn’t looked good I dug everyone out and still digging. Never again.

[@songbird5030]

I absolutely love your fashion epilogues! As ladies and mothers, we are so busy taking care of everyone else, its fun to see your different outfits and know where we can get some of the pieces you put together! Love the jean bibs!!

[@Veronica-je9qj]

I'm with you. I'm removing daylilies and long ago removed azaleas.

[@Edu_Kate]

I don't care for daylilies either. But I recently bought one because I liked the almost white bloom. It's called 'Sunday Gloves' and I plan to hide it behind a peony and some ornamental grass. I'm also on the lookout for a penstemon with darker foliage to also hide the daylily foliage. The blooms are pretty. In June, I dug up some 'Happy Returns'' daylilies that needed dividing years ago. I intended to pot them up and share with my neighbors. But it's been such a hot summer. The darn things are hanging in there. I managed to pot up six plants and those are sprouting some fresh greens so I'll put them on the curb for anyone who wants a plant. The remaining look dead and one big clump is even sitting in water (we finally got measurable rain!) and that's showing life with some green shoots poking up among the tan foliage. You know, ants spread violet seeds. I have had violets in my lawn the entire time I've lived here, 30 years. I think I'm over alliums (not the big, spring-blooming kind). They stink of onions if the foliage is crushed and the blooms are short-lived. Maybe if the variety was 'Millennial' I'd change my mind.

[@clmontgomery6023]

OH! You read my mind!! Just yesterday I told myself I was removing many daylilies for the same reasons you mentioned.

[@crecomfort]

English ivy! So invasive in my zone 6b garden.

[@rockyconniecravens5128]

I'm with you on the hydrangea that blooms on old wood. Been thinking about tearing mine out for years and I always give it one more chance. I cover it up when a frost or a cold snap threatens, I fertilize it, I research it, all to no avail. This year was the last. I'm digging it out this weekend!

[@Happyfarmgirl]

Couldn’t agree with you more on the violets, they are a weed in my garden. I don’t think I will ever be rid of them. Morning glory is another I will not plant again. Seeds everywhere. I am so glad you mentioned day lilies, because I never saw the beauty in them. Messy leaves and short blooming flowers. Love your show, I have started topiary growing because of you. Lemon cypress, lavender and olives. Also experimenting with an oak seedling that came up in a pot. Thanks for sharing.

[@helenperalta3555]

I’m THAT beginner gardener. Why yesterday I got excited about bunny tail grass ( I know that’s not the botanical name) and a rudbeckia that popped up in a field of wildflowers I planted late spring. To myself I said ah you can grow plants! Ha! What I will never plant again in my garden or even in containers are sweet potato vine. Ugh! They’re such bullies in the five - count ‘em five! - containers. Buhhhhhhhuhhhhht - they make my Mom happy. She loved seeing them so I will continue cutting them back to control and confine them.

[@dreileigh]

Look at you touching the spiderwort... I can't go near it I break out just rubbing against it. I had to have a friend take it out and do you know I still find remnants all over my yard..... I wish I knew you before i started to garden Linda, I think I have every invasive plant known to man planted here.... and on top of that I live next to the woods so the birds love adding more work for me every day... I'm not complaining though there is nowhere else I'd rather be than working in my garden. I like the Fashion du jour, as long as it's not a burden to you... cause you know someone is going to ask.... Thank you Linda and Stewart

[@SMElder-od5cl]

I love the dried flower heads of garlic chives, but I keep after it every year and deadhead most of it before it goes to seed.

[@flowergirl8887]

I was left the family home and it has a wisteria tree/bush. It has a trunk so it looks like a tree but it has runners that go along the ground just below the grass. when the runner pops up it becomes a vine and attaches to anything in its path. I am trying to pull the vines out, but there is actually a network of them below the ground.I did some research that said you have to be careful how you dispose of the vines because they have there own little roots and can re root them self if you just throw them in the woods.

[@donabailey5965]

Yes, agree with day lily. You wait all year for blooms and they only last one day. They are out of my garden.

[@peggy-ann1961]

Great video Linda, very informative! I would never plant harebells again as too difficult to deadhead so I took your advice and pulled them out! The fashion epilogue doesn’t mean that much to me. I garden in ripped capris and old shirts! But others enjoy them so I feel if it’s a pain to get fancied up for your videos then just wear what you normally garden in. We’ll watch no matter what you wear!☺️🇨🇦

[@SF-po3ql]

Love the fashion epilogue. Keep it going!

[@margeylarue1900]

Nasturtiums! I do love them but they take over. I planted a few in a bed for color for my son’s college graduation party. They spread all over the yard, jumped into the front yard and started growing up all of my trees before I went on a total eradication campaign. My son is now 46 and I am still ripping out the occasional volunteer. Snail vine was the same. Never again. My day lilies on the other hand bloom profusely most of the year and if I keep them cleaned up they bloom in the winter too and look lush and wonderful. I am in So California 10b… or is it 9b? Erg, well coastal anyway. And yes! I always stay-on for your fashion segment! Love your sense of style. ❤️

[@margaretchiodo-keller9361]

I agree with you wholeheartedly on your choices of flowers to never plant again. I made the mistake, about 20 years ago, of planting daylilies in different locations around my property. Now, every year I have to deal with the remains of the leaves after the flowers have completed their bloom cycle. The violets are always cute, but yes, way too invasive. I never did plant lilies of the valley, because I had heard that they were too invasive. I really enjoyed this video, and all of your videos. And, by the way, your gardens are looking lovely!

[@deborahbavas6514]

Yes we love your fashion part!

[@joywhitley3141]

Yep, daylilies. And they look so nice in the spring and early summer but they spread at a ridiculous rate! The other thing I’ll never plant again is Cypress Vine: pretty little red flower, nice bright green needle-like foliage BUT just try to get rid of it….never again! One more is Carolina Jasmine. The roots go wild under ground and you never know where it will come up…kind of like the dreaded bamboo! Your outfit is adorable! ❤️

I like the fashion epilogues! I am done planting campanula--slug buffet even when I use slug bait. I'm also giving up on planting lavender in the ground. It's hopeless in Virginia red clay!

Oh man my heart is happy hearing you commenting on the Encore Azalea! I just planted two in the ground today in hot Texas, next to some panicle hydrangeas. Hope they enjoy the accompany and share the living condition happily.

[@jennyfisher2289]

I agree with you on hydrangeas that bloom on old wood. I have been pulling wild violets for 23 years. I will never plant tick seed ever again. I also struggle with morning glories growing up everywhere. I have salvia that self seeds all over the place. I dig those up every year and I have more now then ever. Also, the old fashioned wild yarrow I can’t get rid of. It has spread from one flower bed in the backyard to my lawn and flower beds in the front yard. Lots of mistakes made here.

[@L4sleeko]

For me certain varieties of evening primrose. I had started with one that stayed put - solid green leaf, but a friend gave me some that absolutely took over. Look great when they bloom with the delicate light pink flowers but then look messy when done. These have a red highlight to the leaves. Also chameleon plant though I have it contained in one small bed separated by a sidewalk and it’s fine. Gave some to my parents and it went everywhere. Last, you mentioned spider wort which I have the light blue and white flowered varieties - they spread. By chance a fuchsia colored variation came up at work and it stayed put. Took some home and it’s fine. The color is exceptional and different than anything else in my garden. Great video and thank you. 😎👌

[@erikm8372]

I'm in zone 10b, coastal metro San Diego! after gardening since 2006, I can safely say these are no more for me!! 1. spider plant/chlorophytum. everywhere outside in socal. Green and variegated, and curly 'bonnie' variety. 2. Gazanias/African daisy. Self-seeding by wind...enough said. once they go over, its just one more thing. A good alternative is osteospermum. 3. Crassula ovata aka JADE - ubiquitous in this region, there are HILLS and valleys of it. Each leaf makes a new plant. If there is any jade in my collection or my friends, I'll keep up w it - but there are numerous awesome hybrids these days that I prefer. variegates, finger jade, 'gollum,' tricolor, etc. Not to mention the amazing, crassula undulata or 'ripple jade', crassula platyphylla, crassula argentea, and more. 4. Senecio (?) 'dusty miller' - fills an area in quickly, great white color; behaves almost as a bully... and it certainly becomes "dusty" with sooty mold and bug poop on the stems after a year or two! Get it out! Thats ant heroin right there. seriously. 5. Hawaiian snow bush/Brainia - lovely, unique colors, yet shows up a block from where it started!! does not transplant well either. 6. Felt-leaf pelargoniums. And ivy leaf geraniums. they are spring+summer pure white cabbage moth bait; leaves get destroyed by caterpillars,+ if you don't prune them, they look insane.. the dead leaves look bad after some time. I do like scented pelargoniums, the more unique smell or shape, the better. Love 'nutmeg' and the mint chocolate fuzzy one. 7. Dianthus - unless its a tall sweet William variety, for an herbaceous border type of look, they just get woody and dried up. 8. Ornamental sweet potato - is it just me, or is the ipomoea family toxic to surrounding plants?! I had this thing go CRAZY, and the co-planted Trachylospermum jasmine was obliterated; another 10 ft. tall x 6 ft. wide jasmine survived a few feet away though.

[@lindareinhardt1964]

Mistake plants include: passion flower vine, snow on the mound, nasturtium, and I have to think about the rest. I've been meaning to tell you that I have an idea for your potager, specifically the lovely planter with the olive tree. I don't think it's the feature anymore as you can barely see it. I suggest you raise it so it sits almost as high as the boxwood hedge that surrounds it. What do you think Linda? On a fashion note, I just bought a pair of overalls in faded floral denim from April Cornell. While you look much better in yours, I'm going to keep mine (I was considering returning them). You always make me smile Linda and inspire me. Thank You and Stewart too! Enjoy what's left of the weekend.

[@danielallen138]

If "snow on the mound" is aegopodium, then I am in total agreement! Unfortunately, most of the thugs in our garden are NOT things WE planted. Trumpet vine is probably the worst of the lot. I am also not fond of vinca minor, will completely take over. I'm trying to keep it to a confined area, but have a suspicion some day I'll be done with it, and try to remove it completely. Also dealing with wild violets. These are all a constant battle.

[@eileenwardle768]

I planted passion vine, because my clematis was struggling in a very small area on brick patio and on trellis next to west side of house. Yes it takes management but the clematis that I thought had died has rallied. They play well together the passion vine seems to protect clematis. The clematis has been blooming since early spring and slows in heat but the passion plant blooms are great into fall. I am in zone 7, the passion plant remain green most of winter so I leave the hard pruning until early spring. Since it’s in direct line of site to backyard, last year I tied silk poinsettias and bows for holidays. Yes a pain to manage but pretty to look at.

[@Triton71]

Fig ivy!!! Loved how it looked when it covered the front of my house until it just kept growing, My yard guy didn't trim it often enough. It died back when we had termite treatment and during the February arctic freeze BUT, its roots didn't and here it is again. Too old to deal with digging up all those roots!! Pulling it off my brick as I can now before it gets too far up. But those suckers on my brick.....another reason!!! Your fashion epilogue is fun!

I have common violets everywhere. (Planted by previous owners). I couldn’t get rid of them now even if I wanted to, so I’ve learned to live with them.

I had spider wort in my old garden and I never had a problem with it spreading. Immediately after the first blooms died off, I clipped the plant back by 2/3 or more, thus cutting off all the seeds. I also would get a 2nd flush, which I’d cut those off too right away. They take care, but are controllable.

[@michaelrief4424]

Back in the 1970’s my Mom put some Violets, Coral Bells and Mint in the flower beds. They like most ground covers got out of hand. But the Violets got into the Lawn and they are extremely difficult to kill even when using repeated applications of a selective herbicide. So I’ve essentially given up. But I know they cannot defeat the lawn mower and the string trimmer. So in the Fall when the frost has knocked them down they’re carcasses move over to the compost bin.

I agree! It is even growing in asphalt in my driveway😳. When I purchased it, the info label said it would grow in wet or damp type area. This stuff will and does grow anywhere, and you can’t get rid of it. I pour straight poison ivy killer on any that I see. I tell anyone I see that is thinking of buying it for the “pretty” leaf, do t do it it is Satan in plant form. 👿

@@speedbump2448 years ago my in-laws had their yard professionally landscaped and that plant was put in! My head all but exploded!!

[@chrisedbrooke6533]

Agreed! I had a patch that, at first, I thought was beautiful. That was until it took over a hydrangea and a large hosta. It just completely engulfed them. I dug out the entire area about a month and a half ago, and it’s growing back quite nicely, including growing up through newly planted perennials. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’ll be battling it for years. And yes, it does stink when broken. Nasty stuff.

My grandma always talks about that and wish she never planted it. she give me somthing and i think it had a piece of Chameleon in it its in my garden but it has stayed put for me and doesnt travel.. its been there 4 years now lol 🤷‍♂️

@@travsgardenstravshauntedya1998 you’re lucky!! It has underground runners and I think the flowers send seeds. I was finding pieces in other flower beds! It’s a pretty plant though!

English Ivy. It's pretty, but so hard to control. I put it in one year, and later spent 2 years hand pulling it out all over my yard. It still pops up occasionally, years later!

Love your fashion tips, gardening knowledge and Smile. 💕

[@julianahannon7617]

agreed with all the plants that you would never plant again - yes to endless summer hydrangea ( there were no summer big leaves only- I dogged them out last year -

[@lindawhite1114]

My husband won't let me plant Tansy. But I totally understand!!!!

I enjoy your fashion epilog, especially cuz a casual vibe, which I am into.

I would probably not plant lily of the valley. I planted a few cuttings from My mothers yard 35 years ago. So I love sentimentality. I love the look and smell of them in the spring, but by this time of year they look tired. I have just spent hours cutting them back at the ground. Now I have that negative space that Linda loves. Starting to tidy up the garden for fall here in the PNW.

Linda, thank you for sharing your experiences with those plants. I planted some Celosia Cristata 2 yrs ago and they're beautiful, but they self-seed EVERYWHERE. I'm so thankful for your channel. Blessings sweet lady!

Thanks dear!

I agree with you about daylillies! I don’t enjoy them at all! Spiderwarts just appeared in my garden, but when I cut them, they died right away. But I do love violets, so now I plant them in my raised garden so I can control them and I like to cut them for my house as well. Oh and I really enjoy your fashion “show” and I think your jewelry is beautiful and really different. Thank you for sharing all your ideas and your helpful hints. Diane
