December Garden Checklist❄⛄- Winter Gardening

[@soccermom1245]

Please, allow me to brag on the treasure trove of nearly dead plants I was able to bring home from the trash pile of the new garden center down the street! Hopefully all will make it, but if only the juniper tree and tea olive make it, I will be happy. I also picked up a redbud(!), 2 little lime hydrangeas and a couple of button bushes. Oh, and a SPIREA!! YAY!!!

[@rdarrett3635]

Congrats.

[@mybahe1]

Congratulations! Hoping I can find a place and do the exact same thing! Any good tips you can share!?🙂

[@Jessamer]

Sweet! I used to laugh at a friend that would wait 'till the night before garbage day then "dumpster dive" the Horticultural Center!

[@brandonlamontcooper8141]

I love youtube and the spiritual development it delivers.. thank you sir lord ..

[@TracysHomeGarden]

I’m so jealous of your yard Jim! Zone 7 in December looks like October for zone 4/5 gardens! Everything is still looking beautiful! Ps. Side jokes - we don’t have to keep our spring bulbs in the fridge! 😆🥰❤️

[@natasharuth3304]

As a beginning gardener zone 7b Georgia, the checklists have helped me alot

[@AshWP]

Great video, Jim, thank you! I need to get on my weeding game😓. Good thought about leaving bird food! One request - could you show us your shed, tools, organizing, maintaining etc? Would love to learn that!

[@ashleighnelson512]

One think I like to do for my birds heading into the winter is use an old suet feeder (one that has the little roof on the top) and stuff it with the tufts of dog hair when we brush our pup. Birds love to line their nest with it! I hang it near the feeder so they find it easily. 😁 Thanks for all the great tips Jim!

I like your channel Jim. I'm about an hour west of you and am retired. I've just built 15 raised beds for vegetables and will have spring and fall gardens. But you are inspiring me to do more. I want more tress shrubs and flowers. I guess a little at a time. Have you ever considered having a calendar of vegetable and flower to guide people like me? It's probably way too much work. Maybe you could sell it or make it an offer on your channel. Thanks for the help you give.

[@shelmn]

Ended up accidentally on this channel and wish I’d checked some of the content before planting my rhododendrons today. Love that this is actually in my home town. You really can’t get better local advise anywhere. Will be checking in frequently to build my scant knowledge about gardening, and perhaps become a more confident gardener in the process. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@Rougebasque]

Good to know I can still plant in December in zone 9b. Great information as always. Merci

[@dlowpook818]

You can also use incandescent lights Christmas lights on your trees and fruiting trees outside in 7B south facing wall against the house with a cover and Christmas lights contains a lot of heat

Hi Jim: I'm in Greensboro, NC and want to let you know about two excellent and generally unknown Winter vegetables. When I was in Germany (military) I was introduce to Felt salad also known here as mache, corn salad, etc. I was able to fine the seeds online as mache after some research and is wonderful. I have it for most of the year in succession planting. The other is claytonia, also wonderful. Their soft texture make it better than lettuces, and if you allow a few plants to seed in the Summer you have seeds for the next Fall/Winter/Spring. Additionally, I recommend Red Vein Sorrel with a little limon flavor. Sorrel will become sad in the Summer and produce seeds, but will continue to live and recuperate in the Fall giving you some amazing leaves for your Winter mix since is perennial. In my home garden I mix them with my other Winter common salads. You can allow them to drop seeds and will self reproduce; however, the claytonia can overtake the planting area since is very prolific.

[@Laqueen844]

Thank you Jim so much! I’ve bought a bunch of perennials but didn’t have time to plant them until now, I was thinking December was too late to put anything on ground Thanks again for this video 💕

[@sheilaa1333]

Definitely redo the series for next year! I need reminders. 😂

[@katiekane5247]

I had to pull a still blooming Angelonia from a pot to put in kale & violas yesterday. Hard for me but we've got nights in the 20s coming so they WERE on the way out. Sure was a stellar performer all summer. Watched the vid with Brie, if I can ever get some good soil in a bed, I'm going to try that. Thanks Jim, turned my local greenhouse owner on to your channel.

[@JeanTOM-qb5dm]

As ever, Jim--really solid, good practical advice! Your monthly checklists and tips are the best.

[@loriledner6528]

I love this video and think you should replay for everyone🎄

[@pjc2262]

Hi Jim I live in Raleigh and would love for some ideas on how to prevent grass growing up into the gardens. I’m open to an onsight video !

[@bettaalton71]

Don’t know if you’ve done it yet or not, but interested in how to sharpen and maintain gardening tools. Good winter chores 😊.

[@hectormorfin6153]

Always enjoy your monthly checklist.

[@sunprince2]

Oh yeah, Jim! Thanks for the reminder about ordering seeds for spring right now.👌🏾Thanks for another good year of content and information. So thankful you are here, man!👍🏾

[@dylan8285]

Wow there's alot more for December than I would have thought! Of course for me the only thing I can do in December is hope for snow. Those white oak leaves are like cardboard on the grass if you don't get them off

[@ThePoehladian]

My Ligularia looks exactly like that one right now. 👍

[@rdarrett3635]

Really debating on if I’m adding one to my garden. I’ve seen how big they get.

[@ThePoehladian]

@@rdarrett3635 Instead of urban sprawl, is garden sprawl. 😅

[@lisacollins7416]

Great to hear that you continue this series next year!

[@JimPutnam]

I might just do four. Winter, spring, summer, and fall. Thanks for following along

[@escazuzu9950]

Great tip on being able to continue to plant hardy perennials during the winter. I am in zone 9a, and I'm going to take advantage of the cooler weather to work on my garden. (Summers are too darned hot down here for both me and the plants.)

[@laurayatesnelligan5138]

Thank you for all of your videos! I have enjoyed them so much and love that you did month by month. Merry Christmas and happy new year.

[@FosterFarmsOk]

just wrapped up my mexican fan and pindo palms. Almost made it to December this year. Lowes has seeds out already. Fun to think about spring already!

[@debbiesineath1952]

Japanese maple is beautiful behind you!

[@mybahe1]

Thank you again for the jam packed full of great information video Jim! One question. You showed the picture of the red leafed maple and I noticed the trunk had been contorted. Did you do that and if so, how? Can you do a video about that? 🙂🌺🌹

[@judysmith3315]

Thank you for sharing your garden experience.

[@Garricher5958]

Thank you Jim for the time that you spend putting these videos together. I was wondering do you take hardwood cuttings of any trees and or shrubs to propagate?

[@xiomaramartinez3212]

Thanks Mr Putnam!! Great suggestions even Christmas gifts ideas. Blessings

[@tammypowell5121]

When should I plant irises, near statesville NC? I love those.

[@wavelene7]

Great information!!

[@shervegas]

I just love the vibrant reds and pink flowers. I have been growing roses and crepe myrtles they are my favs because they survive lol! Love your show!

[@ytubechannel997]

Great information as always. Love to move plants this time of year. So much better for the plants with the cooler temps and frequent rains.

[@chandraprasad1244]

Make some detailed videos on Camellia and hydrangea with close-ups

[@carolinamoonslilenglishgar8580]

Thanks for all the advice , I've already lost a lovely cordyline in an early ukfrost unfortunately

[@lkhawkins4482]

Thank you for another great video, Jim!

[@debrabray8855]

Excellent content, Jim! Thanks 😊

[@jowalk80]

Thanks for the checklist, I am working on ordering seeds now.

[@JimPutnam]

Good call!!

[@jamesdonofrio4899]

Ever do a video about cold hardy palms?

[@Kylie4Queen]

Hi Jim, thanks for the information. In an older video you said you don’t have roses since they can be problematic with pests/diseases. What made you change your mind?

[@conniegriner1847]

As always, great tips and reminders. Thanks, Jim!

[@cer516]

In zone 9b Farfugium japonicum is a 'deer resistant' plant, and Clemson Univ College of Agriculture's web page identifies the same (leopard plant, tractor seat plant).

[@ThePoehladian]

My veg garden looks very similar. ✌🌱

[@janicemurphy4373]

I wish I could say that December, January, February, in my area it is heavy snow on the ground even before then and after!!!!

[@maryfromflorida1894]

You mentioned getting non natives under control. We have chinese tallow that keeps sprouting after being cut down. What is the best way to control them?

[@myjude4812]

Hi Jim, I’m in 9b California, I have 3 6in pots of limelight hydrangeas on my patio, their only about a foot tall ( babies) don’t know if I should plant them where I eventually want them in my garden or keep them in their pots over winter and just water them until spring then plant in ground. I was hoping to plant them in big Patio pots permanently to be trees. Help !! Don’t know what to do 🙏🏼🥺

[@estherlista]

Can I move my Dogwood tree which is around 6 ft tall?

[@sherryj2]

Question, due to the way this year has gone I never thinned out my daylillies and I wanted to move my iris'. I am zone 8A. I did get down to the 30's at night this week but as you know will likely warm back up. Can I still do that or should I not. Thanks for all the info!

[@soniaramirez1840]

Can you grow lemon cypress out in the yard in your zone? Will it winter over?

[@mikenealon4042]

a garden is never finished regardless of zone

[@JimPutnam]

It would be boring, if it was ever complete! Thanks for watching

[@sparklingwiggle]
