So nice of you. Thank you for visiting us.

Your garden is lovely 😊

[@GardeningJeans]

Thank you so much. I believe that gardens are for sharing, and I'm glad to have shared mine with you.

[@gardentours]

Your garden is very beautiful 🌸🌱🌝👍 KZbin suggested your channel to me and you have a new subscriber. I'm looking forward to watch your videos. Greetings Heidi 👩‍🌾💕

Beautiful garden of foliage textures and colorful blooms! I always think it's lovely to find flower that brings back happy memories. Your Peace Rose reminded me of my Dad's rose bed and Peace was my favorite. Thanks for sharing your garden with us!

[@GardeningJeans]

I'm so happy that we were able to bring you a pleasant memory! I agree that flowers can trigger all kinds of memories and emotions - all good ones!

Putting zones front and center on videos helps a lot. Absolutely love your gardens. 6b here and we have large trees in our new old place, giving morning or afternoon sun and daytime dappled shade over most of our beds. Focusing on Hydrangea, Lamium (which is amazing so far) Astilbe (love the 'Vision' line too), Japanese fern, Azealia, Rhodo's, Flame honeysuckle and Clematis and still trying out various perennials. I had a bunch of Foxglove and delphinium started from seed to overwinter but someone dumped them out in fall before I could get them planted out. No idea why. But I'll be trying again. Definitely going to try that purple Stella and the Pistachio Hydrangea. My Lacecap is doing really well so Hydrangea are definitely a 'go to'. Subbed.

It sounds like you've got a beautiful garden! Thank you so much for the complement.

What a beautiful garden! What zone are you in? I am in 7B and my bloom struck hydrangeas, have really gotten burnt up. I have them in partial shade, but the heat and the intense heat this summer have just burned them up 😢 Yours look beautiful! Do you have yours in mostly shade?

[@GardeningJeans]

I'm in zone 7a (re-zoned from 6b last year). Yes, my Bloomstruck is in a shady spot, and therefore looks pretty good. I'll admit that some of my other Macrophylla hydrangeas that are in more sun are starting to show browning on the flower heads because we've had such a hot, dry summer! It's a rainy day today, thank goodness. I'll have to make another video soon showing the effects of the heat!

I would like to use creeping Jenny as a ground cover. Would it harm any shrubs or perennials?

[@GardeningJeans]

I love the look of Creeping Jenny, but I recently started working on a video I'm calling "Garden Thugs", and Miss Jenny is on that list! It spreads very quickly (I have a couple of large areas that are covered with it). It doesn't harm other plants, but be aware that it will easily invade lawn areas adjacent to your garden bed. At the same time, it isn't dense enough to stop weeds from growing along with it, and weeding a Creeping Jenny bed probably isn't what you have in mind when you think of a grouncover!

Awesome garden!!!! What zone are you in? Im in zone 6 .

[@GardeningJeans]

We have been recategorized from 6b to 7a. Thanks for reminding me that I should put our zone on the intro!

[@JeffSueBell195]

@@GardeningJeans ok. Not a problem.

[@JeffSueBell195]

Another question. Do you divide your hakone grass? If so, how? Ha ha They are really tough to divide but i would love to move some around in my garden.

[@GardeningJeans]

We divide Hakone grass every spring! Usually we'll take half off of a large one, then divide that piece in half again. That's how we have so much! We only do it when the grass is a couple of inches tall. Typically, the new piece doesn't even realize it was relocated and looks great as it grows in. We use a straight edged shovel (not a rounded one) since that cuts through the fibrous grass roots better.

[@JeffSueBell195]

@@GardeningJeans Thanks so much for your quick response. I will be trying your technique this spring. I was.using a round shovel and was really struggling. Your Hakone grass is beautiful. I too would love to spread the love around my shady garden.

[@JeffSueBell195]

Question, can the mountain hydrangeas flourish in 3 hours of early afternoon shade?

[@GardeningJeans]

Our mountain hydrangeas (Hydrangea serrata) get morning sun and are shaded by 1:00 in the afternoon and they do just fine.

[@JeffSueBell195]

@@GardeningJeans ok Thanks!

[@JeffSueBell195]

@@GardeningJeans I goofed, I meant to say, 3 hours of direct sun from noon to 3 pm .
