Awesome Garden Tour - Neighborhood Edition

[@JimPutnam]

It may be next Tuesday before the second part goes up. These take a long time to edit with the labeling of all the plants. Thanks for watching.

[@birds-and-blooms]

Appreciate what you do! It is time consuming.

[@janalynbramlett3832]

I so appreciate your time and energy… I look forward to EVERY video !!

[@suepercy8390]

I’m so glad you do put the names. I’m in NZ and U.S. you tubers use common names all the time and even with good plant knowledge I’ve got no idea of what the plant is

[@pathardin7580]

Thank your neighbor for allowing us to see his beautiful garden and so sorry about the loss of his furry friend. I enjoy these tours and also the landscape jobs.

[@asu5632]

Jim I hope you keep these up. I wish all garden you tubers did this. Seeing other gardens is such an inspiration of what you can do in your home. Seeing 1 garden is great but getting tours of many are even better and led by somebody as knowledgeable as you takes it to another level

[@harbourheightsja2383]

I've seen Garden Answer planting flowers and shrubs in different places and homes other than theirs

[@ankabubanj5483]

We all should look forward to landscape without lawn... This garden proves it is possible to have a beautiful garden and no lawn... Thank you for sharing... Stay safe...

[@squidsquiddly5970]

I am always amazed at people's ability to properly maintain their plants. Trimming them and pest proofing and care...I need to do more of this. I admit my strategy is often to toss it out there in the proper spot and pray for the best lol

[@terriklugh2910]

I love the walkways with no lawn. Can't wait to see more.

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

Yeah a garden tour! I could watch these all day long for inspiration. Thank you for bringing them to us!

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for following along!

[@joannschultz3679]

Thank you for this wonderful garden tour. Please thank your neighbor for allowing us to view their awesome yard. So many plants artfully displayed, some I have but not nearly as nicely placed. I really enjoy the garden tours, again I thank you.

[@aitzaacosta7571]

I like the variety of your videos. I always learn something and sometimes take screenshots of the plants that I would like to have. Love the fact that you put the growing zones of the plants. I live in a 9b zone so it's easier to see what I can grow here.

[@Ash-xx5zd]

Really enjoyed this video. You perfectly edited it. Liked that you got the full habit of most of the plants as well as a close up on the leaves and/or blooms while plant name is on the screen. I'm one of those screen print viewers. Lol. Watched all the ads in full, earned a thumbs up, and this comment. Cant wait for the backyard too! And love how the different hardscape material intersect without looking busy. Your "wordiness" (27:03) is a delight, when it's coming from an expert and plant lover! It's where we amateurs learn! --if the homeowner is resding this: thank you for allowing this tour. Your landscape is AMAZING and I love all of these mature plantings! 🤗🤗🤗 that flame thrower 🤤🤤🤤 just spectacular oasis!

[@krisd870]

Very beautiful yard. Loving the fence. Great yard ideas. Looking forward to part 2.

[@lorraineclark3517]

Wonderful tour of your neighbor's garde. I like seeing garden variations for inspiration.

[@diannbarbacci1031]

Thank you Jim, always great to see a shade garden in the dog days of summer!

[@Tofog22000]

Really nice tour. Great to see a garden that displays a variety of plant color, texture and size. Thanks for sharing.

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

Hi Jim, I really enjoy these neighborhood tours. It's interesting to see how people use some of the same plants as me in different ways. These people are amazingly creative. You did a great job showcasing this. Have a good weekend you three.... ( I include Holly and Griffin :)) Rusty

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching them. Have a great weekend!

[@pamelacallaway3922]

Thank you for allowing us to view these gardens. They are absolutely amazing. I was able to get great ideas. Hard scapes, yard art, all of these lovely paths are breathtaking. Your neighbors are great, allowing us to enjoy the area.

[@PleasantPrickles]

I have a baby rat snake that hangs out in some low growing plants. Every now and then he surprises me. Thank you for this interesting tour of this lovely garden. 🌿🌿🌿😃🌸🌸🌸

[@LitlPoot]

what a lovely garden to wander thru - and no grass - yee haw !!!! thanks to the homeowner and to you, Jim, for taking us along for the tour. looking forward to Part II !!!!

[@PBarrPrince]

Wow! You're a walking encyclopedia! I aspire to know a fraction of your gardening ability and knowledge. Thank you so much for the descriptions. It helps me understand my own plants better. Knowing my soil. Appropriate environment. Watering frequency. Plant nutrition. There's so much to understand! A new gardener like myself LEARNS so much from your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@doreenlatimer6379]

Always enjoy garden tours. Living in the PNW, it is interesting to see the same plants we grow but also the ones not hardy here. Love all the hardscaping.

[@cece_marie]

Yay, I really enjoy these tours. I love the way they have blended formality with a more relaxed feeling. And I'm super impressed that the pokeberry has been cultivated into a specimen piece! I do love how they get bright pink stems, but I'd never thought to take this plant from the farm into the suburbs - really creative on their part. Great video - looking forward to the subsequent video!

[@PBarrPrince]

My compliments to the owners of all these plants and the garden in general. It's so fascinating to go from plant to plant, experiencing such differences among them. And similarities are interesting too. Thank them for sharing their awesome garden. I learned a ton and I'll be rewatching it.

[@carefreedelight2355]

Actually, it’s precisely your commentary which is of the greatest interest as it helps us in deciding the location, the height and the kind of conditions it is placed in and …ahem… the ideal conditions it needs! It is really helpful to have your comments on these plants and all the others including the small ones . It is definitely not too wordy . Thank you for the names of all the plants. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously.

[@tammielpowell]

Enjoyed this and please thank the hosts! Very inspirational!

[@GardeningSpirit]

lovely garden! Jim, i am so in awe of your knowledge! i so love seeing different (others) gardens.

[@mckohtz]

I like these 'no lawn' garden tours

[@jennifernash4638]

I have some poke weed in my yard and I keep thinking it's beautiful - I hadn't thought of just leaving it but now I might!

[@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR]

Another great video Jim ! Loving your work......and that Clerodendrum, gorgeous😊

[@kelliez9991]

Thank you for the tour! I do not think you are too wordy. I am fascinated by your knowledge! I am in Zone 8 inSouth Eastern Coastal Virginia so we have many of the same plants. My Jane Magnolia has a bright pink bloom on it. It blooms lavender in the spring. It’s been planted for 3 years and this is the first time it has bloomed in the summer.

[@karenschwartz5209]

I have a Clearidendron t. (Peanutbutter tree, leaf smells like peanutbutter) after fowering it has turquoise berries with dark pink caylex. So beautiful and different. Great in a bouquet with Japanese Anemone. I have had it for about 15 to 20 years, and now is sprouting new plants of the root. I propagate plants so I dig them up and sell them.

[@squidsquiddly5970]

I am getting a flame thrower redbud today! I just realized that the end leaves are close enough to a fiery purple that they will absolutely blend with my purple centric front garden! Super exited as I have had great luck with my Rising Sun Redbud!

[@katiekane5247]

I'm glad to see that beautiful Poke weed, I like Sumac too. Both nice natives we've been taught to hate 😔

[@missjenniferd1]

This is just beautiful 😍😍😍 one of my favorites you've done!! Love the ideas for helping me to know what to do with my own yard. Thank you!

[@maryfarrand1799]

“Hell Strip” is about the truest thing I’ve ever heard!

[@jenniferhooks2454]

I really enjoy touring your neighbors’ gardens. I enjoy seeing how other folks orchestrate their landscape. Like you, I collect plants. If a plant has pretty flowers, interesting foliage I want it to live at my house, providing it will thrive in my zone 8a southeastern NC coastal conditions. Will that flamethrower redbud be available for purchase anytime soon? That plant is gorgeous!

[@steverdms]

Oh how I would love to work in that yard.

[@itsallaboutlight]

Love these tours. I'm in the "single plant that's interesting camp". 🙂

[@janisstuart18]

Lovely garden

[@melaniem5971]

Jim! Nice video! I have voles too , please talk about solutions and how will expanded clay help.

[@marciagrant6687]

Love the design.

[@duanemcguffey9483]

The highlight of the tour IMO was the giant poke weed. I never in my life saw one that big or realized it really is an attractive plant. Kudos to the homeowner, He/she should be our native plant ambassador.

[@melissam490]

Really enjoy the garden tours. I enjoy watching these during my lunchtime. Brings some relaxation to my work day. However, it's hard to concentrate afterward. Makes me want to be working in my yard. :)

[@nekovero93]

Beautiful!..I have that lemon grass plant in my gdn as well which I use to make a hearty tea.

[@janyearly3883]

Wow! That's gorgeous!

[@randyman8984]

I wrote down 2 plants from this landsclape I want to add to mine, the Cestrum parqui and shasta daisy. Cant belive ive never seen the Cestrum parqui before, So cool looking! Thanks for the walkthrough

[@delighted8481]

Love you tours!! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge!

[@MarilenaVazquez]

Outstanding gorgeous garden and a great tour! Thank you!

[@karenschwartz5209]

Thanks for the video.

[@marylynnhaynes7558]

Love your tours. I live in 6b so I appreciate when you talk about the plant zones since my zone is colder than yours.

[@stacyray25]

Hey Jim I got a flamethrower redbud barefoot back in March as a birthday present for myself of course lol! I wasn’t sure where I wanted to put it so I placed it in a large grow pot and was hoping it would put leaves on but it hasn’t! I paid a good bit really for it! I took it out of the pot and it hasn’t grown any new roots yet so I planted it in my yard here in Alabama! I am hoping it still has a chance! I made sure the grafted area was above soil line! It doesn’t seem dead. The branch and bare root seems strong still and not rotted. All that to ask, any tips on barefoot trees? I have do not have experience with them.

[@freyartz]

Loved this garden tour!

[@theresaholden7580]

I loved this garden! Thank you for sharing.

[@barbnitecki4407]

Thank you for validating my one (or two) plant garden. Plant collector, I like that. Order is nice, but can get too commercial looking.

[@kelj7711]

Gorgeous garden, thanks!

[@dianegentry3255]

I have a lot of part shade so this was very helpful! Thanks Jim!

[@TheEnchantedWoodnymph1111]

Beautiful Garden and Thank you Jim for giving us a tour. By chance, will You and Brie Larson do anymore videos from JC Raulston Arboretum?

[@JimPutnam]

Maybe so. Our schedules have been off for a little while. Slower times of the year seem to work better for getting together

[@joycekuhlman4450]

Man I hate pokeweed, has some deep roots, lol love the lipstick Silvia. Love garden tours.

[@nanbateman4372]

HOAs fall into the Globilists agenda. I purposely avoided them whenever I moved. I grow vegetables and herbs in my front yard mixed in with my landscape. People love my landscape. And if they dont too bad. I applaude people getting out and working in their yards. Even new gardeners starting out. They learn year to year and do better every year. Even those with limited resources start and are able to add on each year. Great bonding time with family and friends, great exercise. Brings individual pride that's so needed now when we cant get that in our jobs or country much anymore.

[@anitahadley2871]

What a beautiful garden. I just love the low stone walls. I’m always drawn to them. I just had to clean up may lambs ears. They do so great but right around now the lower leaves die off, it really doesn’t get excess moisture so I’m not sure if that’s normal or not or what causes it. Any idea?

[@loriswain8140]

Beautiful garden. I have empty clay pots that I recently inherited… now I have ideas!

[@RichardGilbert2727]

Love this tour! Recent subscriber here. Who is wealthy in pokeweed. Did not know it's a perennial . . .

[@kerryjean2223]

Accidentally turned on 'sub titles' and got quite a giggle at the 'Laurapetalum' translation... Yes... Looks like I botched the spelling too x

[@gregleach5833]

I purchased a Blue Atlas Cedar and have clay in Georgia with high rainfall at times . I read about expanded slate for drainage but cannot find it in my area . Would volcanic rock be a good substitute? It is available in my area .

[@trace9657]

I love the use of a poke weed for an ornamental. I wish my mother was still alive to hear that. We used to have a clothesline and the poke weed would come up around one of the poles. I thought they were great for hiding the ugliness of the pole, I always thought those purple berries were pretty, I can also remember intentionally staining some of "woods clothes" with those berries. (Those clothes were meant to get dirty anyway. We did not have much money and I knew better than to stain school clothes or heaven forbid, church clothes). I am older and more boring now, but I do love lemon grass as an ornamental. They get really tall and vigorous if you leave them alone. I even think they are pretty when they die after the frost as long as the hold their shape.

[@ugtitto2654]

12:41 it looks a lot like my Cercis 'Eternal Flame'Judas Tree. It's slightly struggling in my alkaline soil, but overall is a magnificent showstopper.

[@lisab.6818]

Loved this tour! The yucca that was shown was lovely however I have the ugliest plain yucca growing my beds, Zone 6a in Ohio. We can't seem to get rid of them. Do you have suggestions? Help please.

[@stephaniestevens5572]

My favorite part is "lemongrass people say it keeps the mosquitos away. I doubt it does any of those things. It is just a beautiful grass" lol

[@MDA-rs4uf]

I'm trying 2 Russian varieties of pomegranate after hearing they will do better in our 7b zone in GA...we'll see???

[@cherylgreenfarb6623]

Enjoy your videos. Now I know what I have in my yard: POKE WEED! ACK! I cut a huge one down this year whose trunk was the size of a small tree. What is the best way to rid your yard of these weeds? I don’t want to spray them with weed killer that can effect other plants in the area though am testing my temptation to do it.

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

You mentioning wisteria got me thinking that maybe you can do a video on that? I've been having this running argument with other gardeners saying the only good wisteria is a dead one, while they think there's manageable types. That has not been my experience. So called non-invasive types have crazy crazy roots, like nothing I've ever seen. I would love your opinion and maybe you can show some examples of it? One of the videos I watch here is "Watch yer step" the sidestep adventures vlog. He has the most horrific wisteria problem I've ever seen and I'm sure someone once planted that.

[@jebprendergast101]

Great tour! But I do think that every part of a Pokeweed (as we call it in PA) is extremely poisonous to mammals (birds love them). I’ve read you can boil the young leaves for “poke salad” but I wouldn’t risk it…

[@Susmitha.Susmitha]

Hi Jim, what are those animals you were referring to? Didn’t get the name. I suspect they are the same eating my beans and okra plants. 🙁 I live in 7B too.

[@maryfarrand1799]

Jim mentioned Voles!

[@Susmitha.Susmitha]

@@maryfarrand1799 Thank you!

[@cgwalley]

I just planted some monkey grass (Liriope). You have to cut it back in the winter?

[@rdarrett3635]

Yes so it looks fresh in spring. You can cut it in the beginning of spring as well. That is my preference.

[@cgwalley]

@@rdarrett3635 wow ok thank you. I had no idea. I believe I'll wait until the beginning of spring, as well.

[@randyman8984]

@@cgwalley All the green blades will turn grey , flop and look ugly over the winter. In late winter/early spring you can cut it down and it will start growing new shoots and look nicer alot faster. I know some people in my area will never cut it back and willl look ugly all the way to may then arouund that time you wont even notice the grey anymore. So you can go without cutting it back.

[@cgwalley]

@@randyman8984 Makes sense! I just always worry about killing things when cutting them back! 😬

[@randyman8984]

@@cgwalley you can't kill loripe, or at least I can't figure it out. The thing I hate about the solid green lirope is they will put runners under the ground and those runners are deep, so they don't stay in their Lane ha. However what I'm learning about the variegated one is not as aggressive, the bulb will get big over time but it doesn't shoot out runners . That reminds me the dark green will also seed like crazy in places you don't want it. So if it was me I would try to stay with the variegated, you won't regret it as much LOL

[@rdarrett3635]

Pokeweed is a perennial?!?!🤦🏾‍♀️ Time to cut mine down. Now I know why it keeps coming up. I thought birds kept pooping the seeds in the same spot each year. Yes a prolific seeder!!!😡🥴

[@squidsquiddly5970]

23:56 I would put in a few Whitewater Acanthus :D

Did have one question, Jim, why no love for fruit trees 😂? You don’t do apple trees and other fruit trees that work in your zone, don’t know if a past Q and A bad answer to this :)

Love your channel. I just wish you would promote more native plants instead of imported

[@thaddaeuswallace11]

Nandina looked kinda like obsession

[@JimPutnam]

Obsession I can pick out from anywhere. It is redder and more upright. Harbor dwarf and harbor belle I grew for many years. Of the new varieties, flirt is most similar.

[@Aisucks]

Why not so their landscape when it's looking good? It is a good example of what not to plant in certain areas as you have pointed out. I've learned some important donts and a few dos
