I'm a local who bought a redbud tree from you years ago when you were selling off your stock from your nursery. I just put in a few daffodil bulbs I bought at Campbell Road Nursery. I recommend your channel to my whole subdivision, which is filled with new gardeners 🌸🌿💞

[@NorthCarolinian81]

Daffodils are a Southern Original! 🌼 They're great at naturalizing and the doubles look amazing. ☀️

[@susanbaker2796]

Little pieces of paper attached to bricks. That is genius! Your tip solves so many problems for me and keeping things straight. Thank you Jim.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Love daffodils. I moved into a house with a yard with 2 large ash trees with daffodils around them. The trees were taken down because of the ash boarders. I dug up the daffs to move them. Thought I got them all but did not. So now have rings of daffodils. I call them my fairy rings😂. Also love color blends best for your money ( not local but need a tool like you use)

[@amywright2243]

I shouldn't be jealous, but that SOIL! IT'S LIKE CAKE! ❤️

[@asaliden4584]

Me, as a Swedish gardener, I buy all my bulbs from Fluwel in Holland. They are amazing in size, price and service!

[@ruralangwin]

Good tip for this old Swede!

[@ruralangwin]

Timely! I planted 400 narcissus today in the rain. jounquille Quail, narcissus Anfield, daffodil Sun Disc, Narcissus Minnow, Kendron. Tomorrow I've got 500 more to plant! Following your lead I planted only bulbs that will rebloom!

[@76not84]

Just planted a ton of daffodils in Oregon including a group in an area I'm hoping will naturalize. Always learn from your videos.

[@kso808]

I wonder if the ‘Baby Boomer’ cultivar is what I saw someone in my neighborhood planted last spring? They were the purest daffodil yellow and the bloom seemed to look perfect for the better part of a month! I almost thought they were artificial they looked so good! I have also planted the ‘Erlicheer’ cultivar in my yard. They’re very fragrant and I love the multiple small blooms on each stalk.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

I absolutely love daffodils and I’m lucky enough to have them come back every year that are naturalising beautifully 🥰 gorgeous varieties Jim 🥰

[@cpaslick1]

Thanks for demonstrating the pro-plugger. I've been looking for something to help with bulb planting, but I don't plant at a scale where I'd need the drill attachment. I'm done planting for the season, but I went ahead and ordered one so it'll be there next year when I need it 🙂

[@barbararowehall7577]

Have you tried Brent & Becky's Bulbs in Gloucester,Virginia? They are experts , having written books and making presentations on bulbs. Their mail order bulbs are very high quality and they are some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. They would be great candidates for a future interview. I love your channel and follow you regularly.

[@JimPutnam]

I got my bulbs two winters ago from them. They have a few more unusual bulbs which I like

[@gardengatesopen]

I LOVE Brent & Becky's! 👍

[@jordanyeager9220]

Very informative and comical segment. Loved it!!

[@JLee-pc2vc]

Love the ProPlugger for bulb planting! I use my drill with side handle and 2" auger to break up my Virginia red clay soil a little and then use the ProPlugger to dig the holes. If I just use the auger by itself the dirt falls back into the hole and then I have to get a trowel to reopen the hole for the bulb. With the ProPlugger the hole stays until you are ready to cover it up. It keeps me from having to be on the ground as much. I planted over 300 bulbs with it this fall. Excellent tool!

[@Mrsurieta]

Local. Love your videos! Thank you for sharing all the information. It has helped me learn so much.

[@ritalamers1876]

Local. I have a bunch of daffodils that I ordered when I was feeling a lot more motivated.😊 Not my favorite thing to do in the garden (delayed gratification issues?) but I know that I’ll be so glad that I did it next spring. Thanks for the inspiration. 🌼

[@kathleenchurch8147]

Local! I would love a pro plugger to plant my daffodils and Darwin tulips this year! Also loved the tip you gave on using it to remove weeds. Although I have heard you refer to Color Blends bulbs in past videos, it’s always good to hear it again, and with only having 2 1/2 years of gardening experience, I often need to hear things more than once to find the information very relevant and for it to stick. Love seeing Steph on your videos, I value her input and sweet spirit.

[@leslieradford3301]

Local and love watching your channel. I learn so much!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Hi Jim, with a nice as your soil is now, you should try doing this with a hori hori knife. Just stick the knife in and rock it forward to make a space, pop the bulb in, then move the soil back into place. You won’t even have to keep standing up. In good soil, I have found this to be the fastest. Been using a hori hori for going on 30 years and it’s the tool I use the most.

[@KristinaDavidson]

Local. Learned so much from your channel. Thank you for what you do!

[@TheGiddyGardener]

Pro plugger is a good tool - used it a few days ago to plant some bulbs - I use the plugger and hori hori depending on soil type, bulb type, etc

[@davidvanspybrook6549]

Local. Thanks for the great video! I would be super-appreciative to try out the pro-plugger.

[@laurenashley7]

They redid our road and dug out our ditch more so now I have to replant the daffodils that were out there. Thanks for ideas

[@guszimmerman2195]

Colorblends have the best daffodils! Really like your channel!

[@paigeeverson115]

I dug up my daffodils last spring and am planning to plant them soon. Thanks for the great info! I live in Cary, near Raleigh!

[@THoang13]

Local. You inspired me to get similar ColorBlends order to naturalize bulbs in this area.

[@nancyzimmerman1982]

I use Color blends because they are SO GOOD!

[@jeanniecollier6763]

Love to get a pro-plugger; I live in Durham NC! Another informative video, thanks Jim.

[@phall777]

LOCAL-When trying to learn about daffodils one daffodil business advertised they love to discuss garden plans with customers, I was delighted for this opportunity to find bright yellow daffodils and other things for dark shade. Unfortunately, there was no desire to discuss anything about my vision for my gardens. Glad to see this video..

[@judygriffin2029]

Still have 100 to plant! Happy to come pick up that bulb planter…I’m in Wake Forest…not a long ride! Thanks for all your great vids. Judy griffin

[@ndchick1]

Local! I have some daffodils and allium to plant so the ProPlugger would be a huge help! Tha ks, Jim.

[@katiekane5247]

You're putting in several varieties I was going to order for this year, many favorites. Maybe I'll do better next year 🙂 I like Holly at speed, I wish I could speed myself up 😂

[@lorrietomek83]

I’m local. Love watching your videos.

[@ericschoor9479]

Local. Thanks for the years of info and help!

[@32dras]

I give up on tulips too, my winters (here in my part of Europe) become to mild for tulips to come next season and it's not in my budget to treat them as annuals, also shrews eat them. Switching to daffodils, they're less susceptible to getting their winter cold period.

[@patriciahansford2947]

Good morning, Sunday morning and just starting your talk my morning coffee. I am in Raleigh and just planted 270 bulbs last Saturday with my auger which was a little more than I needed for the job and would love to try the plugger you have. Please add me to your drawing. Love watching your videos

[@lorilucas8232]

Excellent video.

[@matthews.1813]

Local - thanks for another great video. I am a novice to gardening.

[@pathoffman2412]

I use a large auger bit attached to my drill. But love your pro-pluger.

[@barbaracarroll5008]

Local.. daffodils are one my favorites!

[@sharonstrom2034]

Love daffodils! Local!

[@aalejardin]

Also not a plug (haha), but I have found Colorblends to be high quality bulbs --large, often with a "baby" bulb attached and very few that I have to discard because soft. I planted hundreds more this year.

[@sandiepetersonsellsraleigh]

Local! Thank you Jim.

[@terrimainey4656]

Oh, I'd love the Pro Plugger-- local! :)

[@quetzaltorres6387]

If the pro plugged is not spoken for I am local and would definitely make good use of it. Thanks for all your information.

[@harriettpavonrosado5175]

I would live to try some of those daffodils.

[@sweetdudeword]

I need to check out ColorBlends for next year! I got about 300 bulbs from Lowe’s because they are 50% off right now! 😂 Thanks for another great video! Local here

[@laurawentz2154]

-Little happy faces. 💛

[@ericj6483]

From the 919, where roots, rocks, and clay are a way of life: I’d love to try any tool that helps me feel better about the bags of 50% off bulbs that seem to make their way into our house every winter..

[@ozge59]

I am going to get it

[@judymckerrow6720]

I’m local😵‍💫😜 but not local, it sure would be a long drive down there, but maybe worth it to see your garden in person this spring. I think still to long of a drive when I visit my daughter in Va.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄💚🙃

[@charitysmith1071]

Local- I may need to add a proplugger to my Christmas list!

[@irynashanton1255]

I am local. Waiting for my colorblends order to arrive. Going to plant some daffodils at my house and my neighbor's house. It would be nice to have a pro-plugger to get this job done at my neighbor instead of dragging my corded drill

[@allisonmussman5760]

I have a few over achieving daffodils peaking up already . Zone 7b Atlanta ga

[@catreeves963]

Daffodils are my fav! Hawera is pronounced something like ‘Haa-wear-rah’ and roll the r sound if you can 😄 ( I’m from where it was bred)

[@catreeves963]

Also, emphasise all parts of the word the same. I

[@s98671]

Local! Thanks Jim.

[@matthewmancuso4098]

Would love to try daffodils in our garden area. I am local (Wake Forest) and would very much appreciate being entered in the Pro Plugger give away. Thanks and love the channel!

[@staciejackson7497]

Is that the Hawthorn at 21:02? So pretty!

[@llde5ign5]

Local! I’d love a pro plugger 🌼

[@DanielA-vi3ud]

Hi Jim, I’m from Fuquay. Would love to meet you and be graced with the pro plugger. I just bought a new home and it will be helpful over the years.

[@irma_brenton]

I love the show thank you so much for all the free gardening information, tips and tricks. We inherited 2 mature rose of Sharon trees that are planted way too close. Insect issue last spring/winter also. Is it worth transplanting either or tossing them? Full sun sloped clay soil area. Thank you, Irma 6b new albany, in 47150

[@TheGiddyGardener]

I just dug up a rose of Sharon tree - they are nice but very susceptible to insect damage (Japanese beetles love them in the summer). I composted mine.

[@karenfoster1139]

I live in Raleigh and would love to win. I have a newish landscape and want lots of bulbs!

[@42424217]

Local. Great video!

[@8helenjhouston8]

Haaaa-weeee-raaaaahhh - you crack me up!!!

[@terrimainey4656]

Hey, Jim and Stephany, I have used the amazing chip drop in my beds for the past 17 months. It has broken down very lovely! However, there are some places where it is still very "thick" and not broken down as much. I want to keep the chips there and mulch over the top, but I also want to plant bulbs in those areas. How much of the chips should I remove before planting? Likewise, how much mulch should go over the bulbs if I have the chips there, too? I want the chips to continue breaking down because it really is helping break up the clay and adding nutrients, but I also want to make sure I don't suffocate the bulbs! I'm in the Raleigh area-- so 7b zone.

[@judymckerrow6720]

I asked for one for Christmas,that way I won’t feel horrible if it doesn’t work in my clay soil.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄💚🙃

[@tonyauitzetter146]

Local, thank you!

[@patriciamcgonigal2688]

I wonder if I could use the pro plugger to get rid of nutsedge

[@kimt9797]

The erlicheer ones don't come back for me a second year. They seem to rot no matter where I plant them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@dsabo6426]

I am local. I would love to have your extra pro plugger. Thank you for offering.

[@brianbrissette530]

Can you tell me what the purple plants are in the beginning of this video? Are they Heuchera? If so, what variety?

[@judymckerrow6720]

QUESTION: when would be the best time to move daffodils that have already been planted and have been there a few years? I put them in a spot and I’m not really happy with where they are. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄💚🙃

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

If you know where they are, then fall, or even now if your ground isn’t frozen. If not, move them as the foliage is about died back after blooming. Really any time for most bulbs, but these would probably be the best 2 choices.

[@anitahadley2871]

It seems like a lot of up and down to plant that way. My knees would be hurting. Does the soil get stuck if you do multiple holes?

[@ivettesantana4319]

I got that plugger sitting in my garage because my clay soil got stuck inside and is impossible to remove.

[@hoinut5090]

I want to plant so how can I get the bulbs plis help

[@McJiver]

In the Spring the town I live in, Gloucester VA, has a daffodil festival its the official county flower. So many are planted around here I just don't really see them as attractive.

[@harriettpavonrosado5175]

Local. I would love to have the plugger. I live in Franklinton.

[@hardin649]

Local. Thanks!

[@judymckerrow6720]

I would love to get a pro plugger but I’m afraid it wouldn’t work in my extremely clay soil🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄💚🙃

[@TheGiddyGardener]

I have clay soil snd use one - if you use it after it rains it’s great!

[@GardeningInRaeford]

Local!! I’d love to be entered to win!

[@RyanNieradka]

Local - I could use a Pro-PLugger

Charlie H. is local and hoping to win the pro plugger!

[@carenallen5841]

color blend bulbs….is the company ? Correct

[@mariasmith6438]

Will baby boomer daffodils flower if they are planted too deep (6-8 inches)?

[@dehnadykeman3614]

Normal Implements of destruction 😂

[@katiekane5247]

Nice "Alice's Restaurant" reference & appropriate for the planting time!

[@gardengatesopen]

Isn't BUYING stupid amounts of daffodils absolutely the FUNNEST THING!!! One year I bought 1,600 of them. All for my tiny yard! My hubs is STILL complaining about us planting all of them!! 😄😄😆😆😆 Until the Spring show pops up that is!

It's easiest when they are almost dormant again in the spring
