Love the way he throughly ruffles the wood chip to make it look as natural as possible and not freshly planted. You can see how much he respects the ground he’s planting in 😍

[@pozzee2809]

I love your stories and odd bits of information. You make everything So very interesting !

[@finflwr]

I Love that John avoided the Ants. That's made me feel really happy. It's nice to see this level of respect for nature : )

Why this man does not have one million subscribers. Just baffles me

Because he gets distracted and does not finish the job! He has ants in his pants running around half completing the job.😁

John, you are so fun to watch. I enjoy immensely.

Love that you tried to avoid disturbing the ants ☺️

[@Suburbanoasis]

I am a super fan of throwing it together by planting in several areas and when I find the right spot, then moving things into groups where they do well.

[@gentlemanjack25]

That's an admirable decision John Lord.

[@griseldamoony7086]

So true that the things you agonize over and try very hard to make work often don't work. That's it, I'm not planning anything anymore. I'm throwing it together from now on. You are the best! Thank you.

[@koalagourmand5766]

What a wonderful energie... ! 😃

[@shielamartinez8991]

Oh John you are the most laid back gardener l know and you make it so enjoyable with your tips Sheila

[@IceThatJaw]

You just can't pull this off without perfect sunlight conditions. I tried just planting like this in my pure yard's soil and I had terrible results for 2 seasons. I had sunlight only from 2pm to 7pm throughout the summer and the soil was clay and rocky. Part shade plants cooked and part sun plants were leggy. Only until I tilled the soil and conditioned it did anything thrive. I did end up with Rozanne mostly, I picked it up from John's geranium vid. Either that or John just has the magic touch. Haha

[@flowerfairy1950]

So nice of you to consider the ants. ❤

[@nanamarie9945]

Thanks to you my garden is looking so much better this year, everyone is complimenting me, but should be you

[@carmenbailey8209]

Love your reference of ants and people 👍 thanks for sharing your plantings for hot dry area our summers are getting hotter and gardens drying out more each year.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Always helpful to be reminded of plants for dry conditions, especially as more and more of us are having to adjust to less rainfall. If your ants are anything like mine, you can't drive them off. I love that Teddy now gets a mention by name in the promo. 😊 I have searched the last couple of years for any sanguisorba at local nurseries and can't find it. Would love a pink one. Will look forward to seeing how yours does. Thank you, John!

[@DottyGran247]

I’ve been dealing with lots of willow herb this year, it just seems to appear overnight & is often the size of the bigger one you showed before I spot it....not had that much of it in the past but 3 years ago we had quite a few trees removed, mostly conifers, the stumps are still left behind so your explanation of why that particular weed has thrived makes so much sense, I thought maybe I’d done something or not done something but now I know it’s the conditions and not me, at least it’s not hard to remove. Thanks for the info, another excellent video. 👍👍👍

[@maikes8997]

the ants are kind of like you, hm? Always busy and hard-working. I enjoy watching all of your videos. And I was wondering: do you have a garden at home? how does that look like? maybe you would consider taking us along one day. have a great day!

[@66REDD66]

Hi John love your videos and of course your good humer .

[@zerogoldfish201]

I love seeing those plants in real live situations, and you inspired me to move around a few herbaceous perennials in my own borders. Thank you so much for showing us around in every video! At the end of the video, there’s a spot with birches in the background. What have you planted between them?

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

The man is great. Great videos.

[@alanbrooksby4381]

Thanks for the ant-scaping video. Well done.

[@juliekane1156]

Ants humans. I love you, John Lord.

[@shannonholmberg8835]

Thank you for the time you take to make these videos. I learn so much.

[@debbyconway]

It actually is pretty earth-shattering how the weeds are different sizes. It’s so cool how abundant health can come from a death. Thanks for these great videos!

[@nspector]

Right, I found that pretty earth-shattering too.

[@karlsenula9495]

Disturb the mulch (temporarily remove it) and disturb the ants without killing them and they will likely move the colony.

[@katharinedavis4947]

Thankyou John I always learn something from you . Boiling water for ants John . Doesn't hurt the other wild life .K

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

While it’s not silver, the variegated Tulbaghia would probably look nice there. I concur with your ant - people comparison. Since you appreciate ants, you might like some of the writings of E.O. Wilson.

[@OliverJazzz]

Snowball tree is not native to Ireland, nor any other country, since the flowers are sterile. It's a bred cultivar of guelder rose (viburnum opulus), which has a much simpler flower.

Wish you would finish what you started! Otherwise love what you do.👍

[@King_of_carrot_flowers]

I'd have planted the Tulbaghia, as it lovely and delicious to eat. I would not have planted the kniphofia, as K. caulescens grows in standing water in the wild-many kniphofias tolerate drough, but love really wet soil.
