Beautiful garden. Try lemon verbena. That Herb is very fragrant with a strong lemon scent.

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

Thanks for the tip! Will be looking for it.

[@pinkpoodle7100]

Loved your garden Jay! Thank you for sharing! ❤

I am so happy to have finally found a video of YOUR garden. It’s beautiful, but because you were focusing on specific plants, you went too fast for me to get a good look. I hope there is another video of your garden. If not, please make one. I saw comments on one of your videos of another garden, and a viewer wanted to see more of your garden just as I do. Thank you so much for sharing this and the videos of the other gardens as well. I love your channel!

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

Very kind of you! I have another video of my garden(without narration or conversation): kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIi4laSdm7hnqrM

Amazingly beautiful gardens

[@PeggyMills]

Lovely garden, Jay. We’re snow covered and getting down to zero degrees tonight. Waiting on spring.

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

We are getting hammered with snow too, take care!

[@sharonbarker7159]

[@shirleyprescott1528]

I adore your garden!!!! So sculptured and tidy! Thank you so very much for sharing. I was wondering what your gardens looked like after showing others. So now I know!!!!!

[@Tobhiyah]

Lemon balm in a salad?! I've never thought of that. I'm going to have to give it a try. Do you have a favorite recipe? 🥗

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

Just a small amount, finely minced, as topping. I also have seen recipe for Lemon Balm Vinaigrette dressing.

[@marieolczak7386]

Love this video

[@llps1466]

I love getting to see YOUR garden this time! Beautiful pairings throughout. How do you make your edges so perfectly? Please advise! Thank you.

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

I use the shovel to dig the edge every season, and I also use the string trimmer every once in a while to keep it tidy.

[@Newshooter11]

Beautiful garden, flowers in the beds and in the containers are breathtaking! May I ask what silvery plant you have mixed in with Bordeaux petunia on your drive way?

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

Those are Licorice Plant.

[@Newshooter11]

@@WhispersInTheGarden thank you so much!!!

[@caroltrego1640]

We like many of the same plants. I love fragrance in garden plants. How many hours do you spend watering? Are you retired? Pineapple sage and Lemon Verbena are wonderful. You must have hired help. Right? I am in awe.

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

I do a little bit every day early morning at daybreak. It is almost a full time job!

[@vidyapoyilath]

Hello Jay, I'm your latest fan! Your videos are my latest binge watch material haha. Could you please tell me what is that tall shrub/tree with bright lemon green round leaves in your front yard?

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

That is a golden smoke bush, ‘Golden Spirit’.

[@vidyapoyilath]

Thank you! :)

[@lindacox6443]

Hello Jay, everything you share is off the chain extraordinary! I love it! Nonetheless, please slow down.,. I have missed so many wonderful videos that you share with us but I just can't watch them due to the fast turns and spins you take. Out of respect for what you do, please slow your turns down. I don't want to miss anything! 😅

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

Thank you for your feedback, it is valuable. I will try to slow down when pan the camera. For the past videos, you may want to try adjusting the playback speed if needed, click the little gear logo on the bottom right hand side of the video(right next to 'CC' button), 'setting - playback speed'. Enjoy!

[@patriciaschafer3199]

Try a Mandavilla laxa...large white bloom like a jasmine and scent of a gardenia...heavenly!

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

I have been trying to find it for a long time with no avail. Where do you find it?

[@superleerin549]

Beautiful garden! What is planted with the super petunias I'm the urns?

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

It is the Silver Licorice Plant.

[@cindyrae2605]

Do you cut back the golden Cotinus back hard? What month? Thanks.

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

I usually cut back to control the overall shape in late spring, April in Zone 6. They get better coloration on new shoots, but you would lose the smoky flowers, since they bloom on old wood!

[@cindyrae2605]

thanks @@WhispersInTheGarden

[@jeanrae2171]

Do you coppice the gold Cotinus in late Winter/Spring??

[@WhispersInTheGarden]

Yes, I cut them back, the main reason is to control size and also the colorations on leaves are more vibrant on new growth.

[@jeanrae2171]

@@WhispersInTheGarden thanks Jay! I'm going to try it, mine are overgrown and wild! Do you add any soil amendments to your borders? Also, what type of ferts do the borders get?
