I love the collaboration with Dr. A!!! Awesome video!! 👍

Saw the new video posted (2023) and had to go back and watch his earlier visits. Such great tips and good laughs.

Thanks for sharing Dr. A with us. What a treat!

Always a treat to hear Dr. A, his positive energy and causal approach to gardening is refreshing. You make a good team 👍

You weren't exaggerating with your tease of Horticulture Rock Stars! But so down to earth and fun. Love the interaction and respect between you two.

Some of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen are in Athens GA. Dr A, your garden is beautiful! I’m working on a tiered cottage style garden with my three year ole who has found the most amazing love for gardening. There is nothing he loves more than taking care of his garden. We love your channel!

Dr. A what a fun guy and hats off to common sense gardeing. Great video!!

I can’t get enough of Dr A!!!! Such a delight and beautiful garden

Jim the pure joy on your face is contagious so glad you are happy and have found your way with this channel keep up the great work.

You guys are great. Love both of your gardens. You both bring so much fun and joy to gardening. Thank you.

Thank you!!

Dr A is a pure delight 😊

So important: Know who you are as a gardener! Thanks Jim

Love Dr A, the hat is recommended piece of gear. At some point, the story goes that he gave 2 choices to his students - wear the hat or take a lower grade in his course. Very happy to see him enjoying his own garden! ❤️

I had a gorgeous pair of Doves visit my garden today. They stayed for about 15 minutes. I posted a photo on Instagram x.

It is because of Dr. A that I grew "Love in a Puff" and a spikey "Solanum!" His app introduced me to some really really unique plants that my whole family has gotten a kick out of! Wonderful to see him on here! :D

He's always such a joy! Love Dr. A.

Always good to see Allen. I haven't seen him since my undergrad years at UGA. I spent my lunches in the Trial gardens there. Good memories....

Dr A is a true delight! Thanks, y’all!!

I love to hear an expert who talks to the audience and not at the audience.

Love meeting Doc A.!! Jim so enjoying the adventures of gardening with you!! Thank you for your channel!! 🌼🌻🌸

Amazing sharing.. 🌷🌷❤️❤️

HI Jim, I really like Dr. A's garden. What a nice guy he is. It reminds me of your beautiful garden in a lot of ways in the style. Take care and have a nice weekend. :)

Thanks for watching. We really do have similar gardens!

“New wood, old wood, whose wood?” Needs to go on a T-shirt!!! 😆 Good stuff, very entertaining, but informative.

You guys are always great together! 🌸🌿🌸

Another fun and informative video with Dr. A. I enjoyed the first one so much I checked out Dr. A's website and today received the books I ordered; Legends in the Garden , Of Naked Ladies and Forget-Me-Nots and It's Not Just About The Hat. Cannot wait to dive into them. Really appreciate your approach to gardening Jim and I incorporate many of your ideas into my zone 9b central Florida garden. Keep up the great work.

Great video !It's a pleasure for me to hear your experience and your practical advices !😊😊 Thank you for sharing ! Big like and greetings by AJP Relaxing Jazz Piano

It's a great town. Not having an interstate run directly through it has somehow kept it less corporate. Feels the same every visit

Trumpet vine requires a whip and chair to make it behave here in SE Virginia. I’d never plant one. I’m always pulling volunteer seedlings from the nearby woods. I’m trialing *Tecoma stans* ‘Bells of Fire’ as a trumpet vine stand-in. It’s bushy, has the same flowers and leaves as trumpet vine, but not a beast vine. The hummies love it. ‘Bells’ is borderline hardy here in zone 8, but I’m hoping it’s a dieback shrub that recovers in the spring.

Can you do more videos on organic farming and gardening, and organic fertilizing or alternatives for feeding microbes or the biome?

Great tips. Fertilizing and pruning tips invaluable. I like the Doc's philosophy about gardening. Enjoy! Be Yourself! Do what you do! It's all good. Have fun. Trumpet vine was more than this gardener could handle. I had runners 30 feet or more from base of plant. Even after I removed it the runners showed up for a year or three. Many Thanks!

@@oreo12ification I did like it. I had it growing up a half dead tree in the yard and it went 20' or more to the top. In the right area it's a great plant. Best of luck!

@@jimchristensen965 I am glad u like the trumpet vine. Our state has lists of “Gold Metal” plants, which were published annually (program ended recently). Usually included was plants that were annuals, perennials, a shrub, and a tree. Sometimes a vine would be on the list. Early on, the trumpet vine was included (1995?). Although, I never saw any in the nursery that yr, I still would like to try this vine on my arbor. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you great tips

you can never have to many bird feeders Dr... im currently at #20 , great video as always jim

Thank you both as this was so informative!! I started using slinky toys on my bird feeders and yes the squirrels have left my birdseed alone!! FINALLY!

Love his simple approach to gardening.

We have 1/2 acre and trumpet vine is trying to take over from a planting on the neighbors side of the fence. Beautiful flower though. 🙂

Dr A…I love birds too. ❤️ at one time I had parrots for 20 yrs and that taught me to appreciate their intelligence. A gift from nature & God.

Immediate thumbs up

Love this❤️

Planted my California palm in the front yard, grown from seed, maybe 5 years old now. Sunshine Ligustrum is a meditative plant that can be focused upon indefinitely, lol. Florida sunshine Anise is no slouch either. Enjoyed the gardening video ✌.

gezzus that guy is so likeable. lol... nice video Jim

Wish I could send Dr. A a photo of my large backyard hoping he'd send me back some of his suggestions for shrubs and layout out here in Snellville, GA 30078.

Hey Jim, If you get a minute I’d like to ask: How can I transplant some lemons I have in a planter? They have all sprouted this summer and grow up about 5-8 inches up. Now what I’m wanting to ask is when and how to replant? I’m in zone 9b and winter is about a month out!

Perfect to smother neighbors tree they're letting grow next to fence

Awesome thank you for this! What a lovely garden Dr A has

Do you keep the trumpet vine away from your neighbors yard. My neighbor planted one and now I'm forced to deal with those runners😫😭

@canuckviolet3322

That was my thought too.. does he go deal with it on the neighbor's side? 🤔

your fertilizing comments seem strange. If you are feeding the soil and microbes, the plant growing is secondary.

I laugh at the "know what type of gardener you are." There is a local gardener that has a very small garden, but she works in it everyday and there is NEVER a ratty looking leaf, because she not only deadheads and removes spent leaves on everything, she even makes sure all her sunflowers and tomatoes in each row look exactly the same with same amount of foliage. It is a tiny show garden....so not me, give me clown college!

Number 1 Isn’t a plant that’s a weed lol
