Garden Tour Time

[@dia9491]

Anyone else just get a smile on their face when they see the first daffodils of the season? They always make me happy.

[@tico78742]

Absolutely. They just cheer me up for some reason.

[@dia9491]

@@tico78742 they really do!

[@annakasikkink7489]

Absolutely!

[@gaylonreedy8915]

I could see poor Griffin watching from the window lol.

[@ramgiberson7180]

❤hello everyone, my gardeners friends. Thank Mr. Jim Putnam and Stephany have fun gardening ❤

[@jcrane45585]

RAM!! Your garden is one of my favorites

[@ramgiberson7180]

@jcrane45585 Wow, thank you so much. See you again.

[@atlantagardener1]

Love it when Griffin pops up in the window to say hello.

[@ashipshow]

6:55 Griffin: "Whatcha doin!!?"

[@jenniferhooks2454]

I have bearded iris blooming, a wonderful purple. My daffodils are starting to come into bloom.

[@michelledagostino9276]

i agree with Stephanie. Daffs should bloom year round!

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

I don't think I'd want to live in a place which has no seasons.

[@kso808]

Yes, I love daffodils too. I have many varieties, spanning a number of weeks in bloom.

[@marionallen2222]

My grandmothers old old old daffodil bulbs that’s been here for decades bloom since January just now going out the new ones I planted last year don’t bloom for a few weeks … it’s so fun to watch them bloom in a wave the regular ones then the doubles then the paper whites her Iris’s are all budded up too few blooms already all white!!!! They smell soooooo good!!!! My favorite smell in the world!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@katiekane5247]

The sweet smells of spring! I bought two forced Hyacinth to let bloom in the house. Old fashioned flowers had more fragrance imo

[@marionallen2222]

They sure do I picked like 5 of the double daffodils and my whole kitchen smells like them 🤍🤍🤍

[@jordanyeager9220]

Erlicheer has to be my all time favorite, just imagine a vase full of those gorgeous flowers!

[@juanitavaldez1907]

My favorite is yellow cheerfulness. Zone 5.

[@jennifernash4638]

My daffodils are incredible this year, and I have a jazz hands fringe tree that is so pink with blooms that you can hardly see the leaves. I shouldn't want spring to be here so early but I am really enjoying it.

[@RealBradMiller]

Here in southern Ohio, daffs are blooming, tulips sending up flower stems, forsythia in full bloom, hostas poking their little dunce caps up. Hollyhock, yarrow, iris, and daylily barely died back this year. If not for three days thw calendula would have made it through. Crazy compared to last year's winter!

[@katiekane5247]

Having grown up on Lake Erie, I remember snow until April! I'm a Georgia gardener now and miss the old fashioned lilacs and the Easter tulip display. I love having flowers year around though.

[@Pashspoms]

Spring!! I'm here for it⚘️🪻🦋🐦

[@8helenjhouston8]

That Silver Bouquet Pulmonaria is stunning!!! It’s going on the wishlist!

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

I grow Mrs. Moon which is a very old-fashioned variety.

[@asaliden4584]

My favourite daffodils? I order from FLUWEL The Netherlands (to Sweden) they have a wonderful selection and are breeders also: Sir Winston Churchill, clusters of double white blooms that has a heavenly scent. Tête Bouclè, mini double showy daffodil. Dancing moonlight, big blooms, tall and creamy white yellow, same colour the whole bloom and Pom Pom Rose, no explanation needed.

[@trace9657]

I had to back up and listen to the tulip remarks a second time. The first time I was laughing too hard at Griffin's head suddenly in the window looking out like a child stuck in timeout when everyone else is playing.

[@annwoleben5439]

Your garden is beautiful even before the mulching.

[@esthersnell2357]

We are in middle Georgia zone 8b and my daffodils are sadly finished up :( But my Abielia (canyon creek) is looking great, I had pruned it pretty hard, so super happy it is making this great comeback!!

[@heatherw.2751]

Awww! Little griffin popping up in the window made me laugh! 6:58

[@dia9491]

I didn’t think they were early spring late winter but I have a ton of paper white daffodils coming up right now and hyacinths. The crocus, squill and muscari have been blooming for a few weeks. But the number one thing that started blooming in the past week is ground cover speedwell. I have had people stop to ask me what plant it is when we are outside. People go crazy over it. There are hundreds of tiny purple blooms all over it and more every day. It looks like a blanket of purple.

[@jeannedevirgiliis5867]

In this video, you talk about bulbs, daffodils, tulips, etc. How do you expand on your current native garden when there are bulbs in the ground that you have to avoid.

[@yuliay4418]

Thank you for the tour! Those daffodils are gorgeous.

[@rughooker2007]

Despite being in z9b/Sunset z17, SF Bay Area, most of what is growing in your area is also blooming here. Thanks for the tour!

[@maryanne2666]

Beautiful daffs and hellebores! And that purple daydream loropetalum, wow.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks Jim. Some of my daffodils have started blooming . It’s way too early up here in Michigan for them. 🪻💚🙃

[@terrivance8750]

Jim, Love that ya'all have my fav daffodil--"Mary Poppins"! 😊

[@fosfool3773]

Barrett Browning is a favorite of mine ❤. Your garden is really coming along beautifully, from the grassy patch it used to be! 🌷

[@JoshOsborneVlog]

Very beautiful garden!

[@Jpatmeadowbrook]

The New Jersey Pine Barrens is home of the (1916 ) Elizabeth White who collaborated with Frederick Coville of the US Department of Agriculture and successfully developed the first cultivated blueberry at Whitesbog, NJ. Whitesburg is an important part of history and the blueberry and cranberry culture. It is listed on both the national and state registers of historic sites with 3000 acres of cranberry bogs and blueberry fields, reservoirs and pine forests. Preserved by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the division of Parks and Forestry, the JJ White company still exists today and has become an excellent place for studying Pine Barrens ecology! Hidden bogs of sphagnum moss, Atlantic white cedars, sundews, bladderworts and pitcher plants and lichens!❤ I watched this video twice😊

[@goodgugamuga]

I only have daffodils and hellebores in bloom right now and this video shows me what more I can add for more Spring interest. THANKS!

[@debraisola9037]

Tahiti my favorite also. Discovered it at Daffodil Hill in Volcano, California Need to plant more. Beautiful!

[@marionallen2222]

12:45 cool leaves!!!! Wow it looks like my fig tree leaves they are already coming out too!

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

The creeping fig was just trimmed of it’s winter dead vines and looks great as it’s starts again! Zone 8 GA

[@annakasikkink7489]

I planted Gigantic Star daffodils last fall and I'm loving them. I also have a new patch of Ice Follies with some woodland phlox. That's a great combination so far. And I'm very excited that the bare root Virginia bluebells that I planted a few months ago are showing growth and tiny flower buds. It's always nerve wracking planting bare roots when they just look like little sticks.

[@Anirras-got-a-bergenia]

Holi!!!!!!!! Daffodils are usually the best performing bulbs in my 3b/4a PH=8 clay soil. I love them

[@kristywhited8857]

Well, I quickly clicked when I saw rain AND garden in the title. But not what I was expecting. Have you ever covered rain gardens on your channel? I'm thinking about creating one, but most tutorials I find involve diverting gutters to the rain garden area to better handle the roof runoff. I have large hill behind my house and when we get hard rains it's a real gusher back there. When not heavy rains, the low spot in my yard is still the last to dry out and remains a wet area.....that's the spot I have my eye on. If you get the chance to cover rain gardens, I will tune in for that!

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

We have the same yard situation. We had a water recycling fountain and rock pond type thing built with diversion to each side to either the grassy area or to a drain . It works great getting extra runoff diverted! The water used to come right through wall!

[@katiekane5247]

Ice Follies are absolute standouts for southern gardens. I so love my daffies! I'm excited to see my Bloodroot coming back. First bloom from the Phlox divaricata, it's taken off as a ground cover after 3 years. Not much prettier than my Caramel Heuchera with violas and Mizz America in a large container. Hope to get bloom from Miss Kim this year. You've got an amazing bulb display, I hope to add some more this fall. I do love the fragrance of the multiples!

[@alanerpington5698]

I got a pretty good sized (5 foot or so) osmanthus fragrans aurantiacus on an end of fall sale last year. I was kinda worried because it dropped half its leaves about a week before I planted it, and it was super root-bound, definitely took some work to break up the root ball. But I was hopeful through winter because I could see the little green buds it set, and now just in the last few days they've started to sprout a bit. Phew!

[@Lcm6206]

Jim,thank you for showing different kinds of daffodils they’re all stunning,I never knew those multiple blooms in a stem may I asked where you got them? Thank you .

[@gracepeterson7483]

Narcissus 'Geranium' (a Tazetta type) is my favorite daffy. It is the last of the daffies to bloom and is so fragrant. It's interesting to see how much farther ahead your plants are than ours here in the Pacific northwest. We've had unusually cold temperatures but finally, later this week it is going to get warm. 💚💗

[@stephanycoakley7352]

We have that one too😊

[@ordiekelleher2641]

So pretty😊

[@marky3131]

We live in Ohio but have a home in North Carolina as well. I’ve developed a deadly allergy to fire ants so when we r in NC I stay out of the yard. It kills me that I can’t comfortably be out working so I live vicariously thru your show.

[@sheila1961]

Thanks for a pretty spring tour! I got bit by the Colorblends bug and planted 450 bulbs in the fall. I'm sure there are other varieties I'll need to add this year 😉 I also planted up two pots using the lasagna method. They sprouted early while stored in the garage, then all came up in the wrong order. I don't think I'll bother with the pots again, so when would be the best time to get those into the ground? Would you recommend refrigerator storage until planting in the fall? I used Tommies, Baby Boomer and Gritty Blend in the pots. I agree with Stephany - there's nothing better than daffodils in the spring!

[@mrparts]

My daffodils are planted under trees and they only get full sun for several weeks before the trees leaf out. This 2024’ winter was so warm the trees leafed out almost 4 weeks ahead of schedule and the daffodils aren’t getting the sun they need. I guess they’ll decline and disappear in a few years if the winters keep getting warmer and shorter

[@rphjacobs9197]

Hi Jim! Great video as always! Can you give more specs and names of those species tulips? I am in Kentucky zone 6B (zone 7A now supposedly) but tulips just never seem to come back for me. I have given up planting them cause it’s too dang expensive in both time and money to plant them every year. I would love to know more about those species tulips you mentioned. And where can I find them? What keyword would I use to search for them? “Species tulips for the south”?? … thanks Jim!! Love your channel!!!

[@annakasikkink7489]

I just planted some last year from American Meadows. They aren't blooming yet but they're coming up strong in my NC garden. I have some others that have been reliable 3 years in a row but they were a gift so I didn't know what variety they are or where they came from.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Beautiful daffodils, Mine just starting to poke out,

[@aalejardin]

I'm with Steph --daffs are such great flowers! I have a number of those you are growing and you have a few I have been thinking of trying so it was very good to see what they look like in the garden. I have intense camellia envy, but at least daffs and other spring bulbs are no problem here in Zone7a/6b New York. I plant hundreds each year -- so much beauty from a small initial effort.

[@marionallen2222]

I have got to get some more hellebores they are so expensive tho I need the kind that seed themselves lol

[@Jpatmeadowbrook]

If you have a Trader Joes they often have mature plants for $9.99!

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Pretty stuff, love the pulmonaria and the epimedium. The Purple Daysream loropetalum will be in my top 5 forever. Pretty daffs, thx for such a variety!

[@WarDurnEagle]

As always I Loved your garden tour! Just curious if you have any advice on “Rosette Disease”? I noticed something different last year but thought it was associated with us getting hit by the March 25 2023 tornado. (we’re in N Alabama) Now that my roses are beginning to come alive in 2024, it’s obvious that there is a problem and Rosette Disease it is!😭 it’s even in my Mother’s old time climbing roses.

[@NanaDianaHuffman]

Hi Jim I bought a Japanese Snowball bush from Walmart and saw online it’s an invasive species in some states. Do you think I will regret it someday. I asked the N. C. Forest Service and they didn’t have much information about it

[@randybianchi6455]

My daffodils never look like yours. They rarely bloom and when they do the flowers are very small. I'm thinking of removing them. Planted in full sun, Zone 8b, 9 (central texas). I have Ice Follies.

[@faithamoroso1207]

can you use tree tone in place of plant tone?

[@rachelsgarden]

My raulston viburnums are blooming, becoming one of my favorites. Just bought an I Declare blueberry yesterday, yours look great! Love all your daffodil varieties too. This time of year my sloped garden gets filtered light from the SE by 1030am then sun the rest of the day facing SW. Do you think daffodils would face out from the slope toward the afternoon sun?

[@gardenfunwithpaulie]

Do you have any recommendations for Tulips 🌷 in South East? Atlanta zone 8a. The Tulips I have planted years ago don’t bloom anymore.

[@juliabinford6500]

I have tulips that are reliably coming back despite being zone 8b in the Pacific Northwest. I’m guessing that the very cool nights must have something to do with this. I thought they had to be consistently cold, but maybe it’s cumulative??

[@tico78742]

I surprisingly have a few tulips that return each year and have for probable close to twenty years.

[@anitahadley2871]

I have some blue or purple hyacinths that look great. I need to remember which ones they are because of how well they returned. My pieris is not doing great. I’m wondering if it is staying too wet. I do plant high. Do they prefer it dryer?

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

Mine isn't blooming either. I've pruned (last Spring), fertilized and watered. I'm stumped.

[@MDA-rs4uf]

The foliage of daffodils after blooming is annoying. I wish when the flowers go away that the foliage would go away at the same time but the foliage just lingers and gets in the way....there are so many daffodils that I can't keep up with cutting back the flowers....also,,,,,those white loropetalums are gonna get really big...mine is a 15 ft tree....m

[@banditnelson7660]

I see someone is photo bombing you and Holly! Saying let me out!!!
