Garden Tour - Pollinator Heaven

[@JimPutnam]

I put all the detailed tour videos in a playlist. You can go through this list to see if you missed one. I will not likely do this again for a long time🤣. Thanks for following with the project. kzbin.info/aero/PLxYqoR2FCE_1MGa8WltgyXGuswMfHYSUL

Absolutely gorgeous garden! Thank you for the recommendations.

[@lindabarnes3672]

So glad to hear someone else comes home with plants that just happen to end up in their cart. I did this twice this spring - I either found a place in my garden or shared with a friend

[@gingerlily4367]

Because of you I am going to do a lot of my annuals from seeds next year. I attempted this year with some zinnia and they are doing awesome. They are strong and beautiful. This is my first year at gardening, so I am taking in a lot of information and through trial and error will give it a whirl.

[@alice_rabbit8345]

Enjoy!!

[@sonyasanders3605]

Jim i just love your garden ! I started mine when you did but had a serious illness and was down for about 7 months. Getting better but wish mine was where yours is. I will keep working and watching you until mine is as beautiful as yours😊

[@HenhousetheRed]

I will never not enjoy a good pollinator garden video. I planted tons of African Blue Basil (which you recommended) that all the native bees are loving. Hummingbird sightings daily going for my zinnias and salvias. Butterflies on Joe Pye Weed and Hardy Lantana. Thank you for all the tours!

[@JimPutnam]

That basil is just amazing!! Thanks for following along.

[@NicoleSmithGardening]

I really love the ‘Wish’ series of salvias; and so do my hummingbirds as well 😍 I find myself watching all of these videos on repeat; studying the plants you use and how you place them. I’m in love with the borders you have created at your new place. I would like a similar look in my garden one day 🤞💚

I really like them as well. All are unique also.

[@nevar23]

And that's more varieties added to my wishlist! :) Thanks for the detailed tour. Rabbits have wreaked havoc with my flowerbeds this year. I think next year I may try some kind of organic deterrent. I love seeing the rabbits, but wow they're destructive. If only they'd eat the annoying weeds!

[@kimberly8185]

I also love the bunnies... they unfortunately love my hostas!! I use liquid fence.. it doesn't hurt them but they leave them alone cause they stink! (The smell disapates quickly enough for humans though)

[@rnguyen2516]

My landscaper suggested fox urine pellets. I ordered it from Amazon! I did it in the beginning and forgot to do it but my pansies have been left alone!

Jim, your is phenomenal been away from your channel for a bit and just caught a pic of everything in bloom, all I can say is WOW!!

[@dylan8285]

You should try some Common milkweed too its so beautiful and the flower is ahh... they smell so good, it can be a bit of a bully in the garden but its worth a little bit of maintaince it takes to keep em in check. You mentioned in another video the caterpillars devour milkweed? never seen that, but cant wait to see if that happens this year

[@janereel1903]

I have common milkweed in my garden. Last year we counted 8 caterpillars! Still waiting and hoping for caterpillars this year. You're right it's a bully and I have to edit it out around some plants. These plants were here when the garden began. I want to try some of the other milkweeds next year. I'm zone 5, upstate NY.

[@DixieGirl9876]

The garden looks lovely! Annual red salvia use to be every where in garden centers, now I rarely see it for sale. The humming birds adore it.

[@cece_marie]

The goldfinches fly right past the thistle feeder for the rudbeckia and echinacea! Seeing the males sitting up there makes it look like the flower is still blooming. Thanks for the reminder to keep mint contained - it was an early garden mistake and it took me years to eradicate.

[@squidsquiddly5970]

My goodness! How everything has grown! This is beautiful! I have a few of these varieties that are not nearly this big yet. I hope they end up looking as good as yours do! Wow!

[@stephaniestevens5572]

This has transformed so nicely over time. Looks great.

[@pollinateordie6399]

I'm in Zone 7a and plant Cuphea for the hummingbirds. Last winter I put some frost cover on top of it to see if it would come back and to my surprise I was successful:) I had the cover slightly raised with a few of those thin bent into a U shape metal rods.

Just stunning! This is the first year that it looks filled in like you said it would - super nice! I actually thought the butterfly bush looked nice in the border. But it does block the beautiful White Wedding hydrangeas. I can't wait for your front yard to fill in like this! Well done!!!

I've only just found your channel, and this is the 2nd video I'm watching. I'm enjoying your in-depth tours. I'm in northeast Iowa, zone 5b, so unfortunately can't grow many of the things in your garden, but I love to see them nonetheless. And you have introduced me to a couple of plants that will grow here! Thanks much for showing us your garden, and giving such good detail as well, including hardiness zone. Though our winters are much colder than yours, our summer can be very hot and dry, so need to have plants that can withstand that; so some of the Southern Living plants are appropriate for here.

Verbena bonariensis is one of my all time favorites, for all the reasons you listed. It reseeds READILY in my 5b garden, and even overwinters (it’s a zone 7-11) so I never have to buy it. It’s easy enough to thin, so I don’t mind at all, but I’m surprised your entire space isn’t covered in it!

I had a question: I have some of these Grand Cascade Butterfly Bushes in my front yard between me and the road. I planned on cutting them back to 12 inches above the ground in late winter so they will stay smaller but when I saw yours I was curious if this tall size was all growth from one season? If so this is a fast grower. I will still keep mine I where they are for now but I think they are a bit more vigorous than I had thought. Thank you

I so enjoy watching all the pollinator activity in your garden! This is soooo off topic but I have a puzzling thing happening and feel you are the best person to ask. I potted up a few seedings from under my Sarcococca (Sweet Box) and one of them has developed a branch of variegated leaves. At first I thought disease but no, it is a a branch with all beautifully variegated leaves and it is definitely a Sarcococca Confusa seedling. Any idea what's happening?

Good day beautiful garden. Love it. Needs some advise, I plant some limelight hydrangea alongside my house last year. I have sense created a raised bed around my hydrangeas and now they are sitting to low in the ground. When do suggest I lift the hydrangeas up so they don’t sit so far far in the ground? I am in zone 7b

I would raise them if they are that new. Hydrangea paniculatas would probably more tolerant to abuse than other things though. So it probably isn't a 💯 necessary.
