Endangered species! So charming tho.

Only a gardener would enjoy watching another gardener work. I love spreading compost type mulch. Long term benefits from a little bit of work.

Getting to see that triple shredded hardwood mulch up close was revelatory. I didn’t fully appreciate how finely ground it was. Very helpful to see what it actually looks like.

🤣 you threw the mulch and my eyes instantly felt the itchy feeling 🤣🤣

I really appreciate when you call out invasives or make sure to note when something can take over a garden bed. When people plant things without educating themselves or refuse to be educated, it can end up being detrimental to a lot of native species and wildlife and I think it's an important topic of conversation to keep having.

I really miss my little low wheelbarrow like yours. It had a good life but I wish they would start making it again. It made doing anything in the garden so much easier

In zone 9 my stellar ruby magnolia is covered massively with those reddish purple flowers. Stunningly full and beautiful this year.

Thanks guys! 😊 P.S. I miss seeing Stephany in the videos and hearing her thoughts on design.

Here in TX 8a we have we have the same plants blooming. One other thing that is beautiful in our garden is the morning sun lighting up the several small weeping Japanese maples that are just leafing out.

Photinia serrulata was introduced by J. van Lindley's nursery in the early 1920s and 1930s. (from Southern Gardens, Southern Gardening by William Lanier Hunt). Hunt describes it as one of the most handsome broadleaf evergreens in the Southeast. It is, for sure an interesting plant.

Look at sweet Holly 🥰🐶

I think this may be one of my favorite videos this year. Highlights were all your daffodils! That truly amazing Japanese maple, one of the most beautiful specimens I’ve ever seen. The redbud next to the cherry was great too. I’ve decided I’m going to get some daffodils from colorblends after this. I have late blooming daffodils and they bloom in May.

Hi Jim, great video! Your yard looks so nice with the new mulch. Have you ever thought about painting the front fence? I think it’d look great white or the color of your new siding.

Jim & Steph! Loved the slow-motion of you, Jim, tossing the mulch. Great video work! Loved the scene where Holly was behind the tulips. Love your neighborhood videos also.

Jim, I'll take a baker's dozen of Baker's Lilac tulips! ❤

1:41 Beautiful!

13:42 omg those daffodils are gorgeous!!!! I gotta get some more varieties…

Since its "Bridal Wreath" Spirea, I think that makes it a "Quincess Bride" 😂

I own a landscape company in Fairhope Alabama. I was introduced to your channel from your video on Espalier Landscapes. We had the opportunity of bidding on some of their designs. Great work you do, i’m learning everything from you & a couple others. Thanks a ton from Fairhope

17:00 lilac wonder tulips come back year after year in my zone 10 garden. Suddenly they’re gone and never come back. I’ve tried planting some again but no sign of growth recently. 😒😒😒 love your neighbors garden videos ❤❤❤

So ready for the backyard patio update 😊

Hi Jim and Steph! Great video, thank you. I did cringe at the thought of that oak coming out (if it is healthy and safe, of course).

Love the progression of this video.. many interesting topics. Beautiful Japanese maple. I’m enjoying seeing the established plants in these older neighborhoods. Raulston Hardy viburnum still looking fantastic here. Double Play Doozie Spireas aren’t blooming yet but their red/green bicolor foliage looks great. When do you usually see new growth on last year’s dahlias?

Jim, I see my fav daffodil, Mary Poppins, is still blooming in ya'all's yard--mine are, too. 😊

Thank you Jim and Stephany. 🪻💚🙃

I won a Viburnum Winterthur from Pender Nursery at a vendor party one year. It was a sentimental plant that I really enjoyed but the flowers were so fetid that I eventually removed it.

OMGosh--a live & doing well photinia!!! 😯😯😯

2:51 - Those are the legs of a landscaper! :-)

Thanks for showing the still photos of the blooms fully open in the middle of the day

I really enjoy watching Jim working in the garden. Be careful with Steph wagon now and how's your new shovel?

That Japanese maple is a stunning specimen 😮 gorgeous

I love your camellia japonica it is beautiful. I cannot wait to have one & watch it thrive!

Daffodils are finally blooming along with Bridal Wreath Spirea but the subfreezing temps of the last few nights have finally taken out the last of my Star Magnolia blooms here in Lexington KY. Epimedium, Yoshino cherry, hellebores. On the wild side: Twinleaf, Troutlily and Bloodroot.

Those cassata daffodils are fabulous. I have never seen those before. Love them!!!

Your neighborhood has so many interesting plants! I agree that this is a good spring for loropetalum -- even my newest one (which had half of its foliage eaten by rabbits in the fall) is blooming!

If that white oak come down you might want to call dibs on that mulch.... 😊

Your Agave ovatifolia looks fantastic Jim! It looks just as healthy as any Agave over here in the Southwest. I love these longer videos!

1:55 Love the action shot!

Enjoyed this video Jim! Love seeing the neighbors’ landscapes as well. (That little White House that’s for sale is so pretty!)

Thanks for sharing the neighborhood trees…makes me feel more confident that when it is a problem all around the town there is really no need to stress as there is not much you can do…fire blight in the chicago area with crab apples and decorative pears is a real issue…Just have to start planning for a new opportunity and maybe get it in the ground soon in anticipation for the sick trees inevitable decline.

Jim's gym..come on by spread 40 yards of mulch..plenty of cardio!

Great job. Advil anyone? I like the look of mulch.

Really enjoyed this video,I always say Fall is my favorite season UNTIL Spring starts.. I love my bulbs 🌷. I too have a little Gorilla cart similar to yours,,it’s my Most used wheelbarrow by far💚💚

That’s exactly what I need to do pot up my dahlia tubers … I got some caladiums too and strawberries 🍓… I hope my dahlias made it outside!!!! I’ve got Iris’s blooming that have not bloomed in 6 years idk what happened lol I’m glad for this pretty mild Winter all my boxwoods are so fluffy I hope this last night of cold everything’s ok it’s like May outside all my plants are leafed out 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 I wish I could get a chip drop I need wood paths too

My Holllyhock seedlings are now 11inch plants

I found a great little cart like yours but just the bed tips on hinges, not the whole csrt. Saves my back alot.!!! I got it at Ace hardware, my favaorite place to shop.

In zone 9b central FL my favorite yellow tabs just past their peak bloom (handroanthus chrysotrichus). Really enjoying new blooms on my bougainvillea and orchid trees (bauhinia) as well. Love the tree tours Jim

I have a beautiful native dogwood that is showing its age and is sending up the sprouts. Is there a good way to propagate it? I tried last year unsuccessfully.

My back hursts just watching 😢. Sadly THAT activity is not going to happen in MY garden.

5:15 coyote! 😂

A new shovel! Love my tools too

Need to break in that new shovel.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Jim why do you think our native dogwoods are declining? Maybe you said and I missed it. I’m in Sampson County and have noticed there are almost none in the wooded areas!

Sigh….I love a little house ❤ What’s wrong with living in a cozy home? Great oak tree! I have some big old beauties on my ppty (builders left them, hooray!). I fully enjoy watching you work in your gardens….imagining myself getting stuff done out in mine. Jim - HOW are you growing tulips?! I thought voles ate them right up. Everyone I know growing tulips in the Raleigh area grows them as annuals. YOU are a Master. Well done! Thanks for another great video.

I'm wondering if you've had or are going to have that damaging frost after this video. I saw yesterday we're finally getting warmer in the North west and I saw the south is getting a cold front. I hope none of those beautiful shrubs will get damaged. I would cover that snowball. That would be so sad if it gets hit!😢

Jim, is there anything we can do for our native dogwoods when they show signs of declining to keep them from succumbing?

Hey Jim. Thanks for all of the great everything!! During the limbing up of the Hydrangea part what is the plant to the right in the background behind you?

Yes, who wouldn't want to live next door! Can I use the clean compost offered from our city to start my Dahlias? So, in the fall, do you put your leaves on top of mulch, or do you rake away mulch first?

Love your content. Learn so much about gardening through your channel. My question is: When do trim my conifers and transplant my lambs ears. Here in zone 7b/8a Greensboro.

Did I miss the planting of your Mr. Maple order?

I bought two daliahs that were full of blooms and planted them immediately. Last night it got down to 29 degrees and today the blooms are all brown and the foliage is wilted like rotten lettuce. I don't think the tubers were damaged, but will the plants push new foliage and even bloom this year? I'm in Shelby County, TN, zone 8a or 8b - not real sure.

Need every plant paint

I’m about to plant my first dahlia in the ground. I’ve read not to water it in till I see new growth, should I plan to plant it when there isn’t rain in the forecast?

Jim, my transplanted native Redbud is growing but no blooms again this year 😢 Does it need something? Moved 3 years ago, nice form, 7-9 feet tall, enough sun.

Could you talk about trees with sprouts like the dogwood you showed? What is the difference between a water sprout and a sucker? Is this type of growth always a sign of distress? I had a big trashy-looking shrub in the corner of my property that I limbed up into a tree when we first moved in 5 years ago (or maybe it was a tree all along?). Most years I need to trim off sprouts/suckers/growth to keep the shape. The winter we had that flash freeze polar vortex in December, the following spring the tree did not leaf out very much and had more sprouts than ever. I am wondering if some of the upper limbs died. Anyway, I'm just curious about this whole process and what actions I should take.

I watch you all the time and you've helped me with a lot of questions this one is not about flowers instead I have a shed like the one you're in front of over the years my doors have rotted at the bottom , I see you have mulch in front of yours ,does that help keep water away , I'm having mine replaced what type of wood is your doors made of.thanks . I'm a 75 year old widow and don't have a smart man like you to ask lol

I live in Arkansas on a slight slope. We get gully washers. The last one was 5 1/2 inches of rain 🌧️ in a few hours. My bark gets displaced where there are rivers of rain. My question is this Jim: Do you get “gully washers” where you are at? Does your mulch wash out?

I really like your mulch. I recently purchased a huge quantity of redwood mulch called “Horse Hair” it has such large pieces of wood that I’m spending more time picking that out of the flower bed then I would like. Can I ask how long you think this is going to take to break down? I don’t want to dig it up and replace it, but I’m definitely gonna go with something very different the next time. I covered the entire yard, which is a little more than a half acre and I am not liking it. It stays put, but I’m not a fan of the look or the stringiness of the layers.

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Forecast is calling for 16-20 for a low this week. My daffodils are mostly just budded up with a few blooming. Can I assume they are going to lose their flowers with temperatures that low?

If he didn’t show us, would we believe he did it all? 😂😂😂

hey Jim, i always see you dumping more and more mulch on every year... I know it's great stuff, but dont you find that your garden beds get higher and higher while the surrounding paths/grass stays low? (or do you come through every few years and remove broken down/used mulch)

All my added compost and mulch is making my garden beds overflow, do you ever remove any of the older material or just keep on adding? I've raised the soil level 4-5 inches over the past few years and it's starting to spill over.

The daffodils have done really great this year. Like you, I have the regular, larger varieties, along with the smaller miniature ones, which extend their blooming season. I've also got some species tulips, which are behind yours in blooming.

My triple-shredded looks like single shredded compared to that.

Jim, I don't have much room indoors, so I have used the winter sowing method for many of my cold-tolerant seeds & most are doing quite well. Now that it's a bit later in the season, can I use the same milk jug sowing method for tomatoes, peppers, & cukes? I know they prefer growing over a heat mat, but I just don't have the space. I'm thinking that, @ worst, they simply won't germinate till it warms up a bit &, @ best, it will work. Am I wrong? Thank you. 😊

1:57 My eyes!! Why?!? WHY?!?! I got mulch in my mouth, my nose, my ears, MY EYES!!!!

When a tree does that with the water sprouts should they be removed? I have a declining tree sending them up, and I am torn. I know they aren't good, but lord knows the poor tree needs all the chlorophyll it can get. It is a crabapple with fireblight.
