    We’ve had so much rain that I think my Dahlia seeds are not going to come up. My morning glories are tearing up jack. The asian lilies have been transplanted from the ground to pots, and and they are going wild. I just hope the Dahlia’s have not rotted in the ground. The first of June is their deadline and then geraniums are going in.



  2. Chuong Le on May 28, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    It would be great if someone inboxed me now



  3. Mary Blais on May 28, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    How do you remember all these plants? 🤩 amazing job!!



  4. Peter Jeffery on May 28, 2022 at 8:12 pm

    WE ALSO HAVE A SILVER BIRCH TREE SO TH GAP IS SHADED



  5. Marcela Stacey on May 28, 2022 at 8:12 pm

    You are so gifted!!!!! This was such a great compendium of information that I found highly helpful to my 5a/5b zone challenges, mostly self-inflicted challenges because I know so little about gardening. Thank you for a great video and now that it’s early May and we’re finally getting away from overnight freezes, it was the perfect time to watch your video. Thanks.



  6. Kathy Mc Adow on May 28, 2022 at 8:13 pm

    My black eyed Susan’s leave get black spots on them. What should I do?



  7. Katie on May 28, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    can you please place camera on the plant you are speaking of more than yourself. it would be helpful for us viewer to view the actual flower or plant as you are speaking vs watching your face. thank you so much



  8. Kate Hamilton on May 28, 2022 at 8:15 pm

    So useful, thank you x



  9. Gloria Primeau on May 28, 2022 at 8:16 pm

    Thanks for the info



  10. Jan S'field on May 28, 2022 at 8:16 pm

    I prefer Perennials but I do like some bedding in the summer for new colour and interest! I love sedums, I love large leaves in my garden!



  11. Lulis del Castillo-Gonzalez on May 28, 2022 at 8:17 pm

    OK…..can you come to my house and do my garden?! Your garden is just glorious!!!



  12. gottathinkupanewone on May 28, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    I recommend hostas to anyone who wants a showy plant with little effort and maintenance. Mine grow like wild things. It took some work and prayer to get my ferns to take off, but they are lush and choke out weeds like champs now that they’ve decided to stay with me. I also have irises, peonies, and day lilies that return with no effort on my part. When we added a sun room on the back of the house, the first thing I did when the dust had settled was plant a row of hostas on each side. I add some hanging pots of geranium every summer for color, and just enjoy the show!



  13. Thy Tran on May 28, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    When is the best time to plant these flowers



  14. Pretty Lady on May 28, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    Wish you could address the challenges Gardner… I have families of deer daily. They’ve eaten everything such as hosts gardens day Lilly gardens rose gardens and other perennials such as rudbeckia even begonias and all annuals etc so all I can do is have boxwood, and fern and vinca.They eat rose of Sharon, They have destroyed everything and hedges like arborvitae and Texas yew.I have a lot of shade with a little sun in few places. Any suggestions would be appreciative. Thank You



  15. Cynthia Briceno on May 28, 2022 at 8:21 pm

    Love the video. Where did you get the tall vase shaped terracotta pot?



  16. RoseMary Wicker on May 28, 2022 at 8:21 pm

    Not where I live (in the Mojave 8a/8b) for most of them. Just 3. Try to find any shade plants at the nurseries here. As a matter of fact, try to find a significant amount of shade itself. Most trees are not drought friendly. It is over 90F starting in April until November and over 100F from June to September. Not even native desert plants like creosote (greasewood) provide too much shade and they get very large. The wind here (6-8 MPH average daily, up to 40MPH) spread ornamental grass seeds all over hell and gone. The people who owned our house previously had a bunch of ornamental grass, and it was all over in the gravel driveway constantly. And anywhere else there is gravel to be honest. No lawns allowed here so yards are either gravel or dirt on drip irrigation (with severe restrictions) and I can’t tell you how much of that I have pulled out by hand, (weed whackers just toss gravel and dust around) even since I removed it all from the areas they had it planted. Only now, several years later has it been showing up less and less. The elderly woman kept wondering where the stuff in the driveway etc was coming from when she spoke to us when she sold us the house. Rabbits are an epidemic here and they would probably eat most of those plants too unless your garden is fenced with chicken wire with no way to dig underneath. They do leave my lavender alone though. Perhaps an episode about rabbit-resistant plants? I have been gardening since age 16, but moved out of state in 2019.



  17. Mustapha Maalej on May 28, 2022 at 8:22 pm

    Any recommendations for plants to pla t in San Francisco?



  18. Kamakshi Ramchandran on May 28, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    Awesome



  19. Keri Skousen on May 28, 2022 at 8:25 pm

    Thank you so much. I love that nearly everything you mentioned is deer resistant. I gave our local deer a $500 salad bar last year so I’m trying to get some some things that will make it this year.



  20. Gee Mo on May 28, 2022 at 8:25 pm

    I have to say, I don’t normally bother with plant/gardening videos when I know they’re from the USA, I don’t think there are many places there which are remotely similar, climate wise, to my very (very) damp corner of windswept, salty England, but I stayed with this one, as the presentation was so good and your choice of plants was great. Lots of these are already old favourites for me, but there were some that I haven’t tried, and they look interesting. The only ones that wouldn’t really stand a chance of survival here, are hostas, as the slug and snail population here is just so profuse, that planting a hosta here is like laying out a banquet and saying ‘help yourself’.



  21. Peter Jeffery on May 28, 2022 at 8:26 pm

    WE HAVE A WALL ROUND OUR FRONT GARDEN WE NEED SOMETHING FOR A BIG GAP AT THE BACK OF THE GARDEN WHAT CAN WE PUT THERE PLEASER



  22. Joe Berta on May 28, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    How neat —- however other than marigolds — almost everything I plant around here — it becomes “deer salad”. Any suggestions beyond marigolds which the deer will not eat down to the ground.



  23. Very KinkyCurl on May 28, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    Two of my favs are Lilacs corral belles. I have few others, but I cannot remember the name 🙂



  24. Rhonda Groom on May 28, 2022 at 8:30 pm

    Love this video! Very informative, I hope to have a very beautiful garden, front and back. Very excited to go to nursery this weekend.😊



  25. D Guice on May 28, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    Thank you. Very helpful. Novice gardener that I am



  26. 2betucker 2 on May 28, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    Do you do one for Florida living – I wish I would have found you when I was up in PA



  27. mbrennan459 on May 28, 2022 at 8:35 pm

    I need some help from any experts. We have a hydrangea that won’t bloom. When we planted it it was gorgeous. The problem was we had young kids who kept stepping on it, running through it, breaking pats off when playing, but every year it bloomed. We moved it 6’ from its original location where it was out of the way of kid traffic. In the 6 years since we moved it it has grown but not one bloom. It is full and seems to thrive but not a single bloom. Any suggestions or ideas?



  28. Joyce J on May 28, 2022 at 8:38 pm

    Not every garden though, most won’t grow in my garden. Remember there are many different zones and soil types. Russian sage and lavendar are big allergen too. They may be pretty but makes a lot of people very ill.



  29. Terry Buckalew on May 28, 2022 at 8:40 pm

    best way to get rid of weeds in grass Ive already put out weed and feed



  30. Shirley Martin on May 28, 2022 at 8:41 pm

    Thank you !!



  31. A Singleton on May 28, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    I like hostas, but so do deer–and apparently way more than me! Hostas are the Hidden Valley Ranch of the deer community and they are not worth planting if you have a deer problem. I’m looking forward to trying the Russian Sage and Lavender in my yard. Thanks for your video!!



  32. Kerri Ann on May 28, 2022 at 8:43 pm

    Thank you for all the information and guidance on the perrinuals.

  36. Shannon Sorensen on May 28, 2022 at 8:46 pm

    I love your channel so much. You share so much knowledge, very clearly, and this is my go-to place for guidance whenever I have a gardening question – thank you!



  37. fayito on May 28, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    "Honorine Jobert" –you pronounced it well. French – speaking person here. thanks for all the info !



  38. Madonna Hagedorn on May 28, 2022 at 8:48 pm

    I’m overwhelmed.



  39. HyperHustle on May 28, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    I am the sedum of the people world 😄😄😄



  40. EMSmomma4 on May 28, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    Oh my goodness, I absolutely enjoy your channel! I have learned so much from watching you. One of the plants that you spoke about, I just love…it’s the Russian sage. They are exactly how you spoke about them and shown: the vibrant color of a purple-ish blue, their stalks/stems are a soft silvery hue and the smell…just like sage. Lol. I also had some Weigela which had a bright pink flower and get to about six ft tall, and I also had some Forsythia too, which also displays a beautiful, bright yellow flower and they got around four ft tall. I miss my yard and flowers for we sold our home and moved way up north here in WI, in which is a zone 3. So now I’m learning what grows well here and doesn’t. Anyway, thank you for sharing your video! 🥰



  41. stephanie sorrell on May 28, 2022 at 8:52 pm

    Can any of these flowers be put in pots on the deck? Then I don’t have to replant every year. LOL A deck that has full sun ALL DAY.



  42. susan hladik on May 28, 2022 at 8:54 pm

    So informative and helpful! Really got me excited about planting some new perennials!
    Deer resistant info badly needed as on 2 acres of woods…had to stop planting tulips!
    Heard that deer love hostas, too, so have been afraid to plant any. Any thoughts on this?
    Thanks for a great video!!



  43. Cindy Nihart on May 28, 2022 at 8:56 pm

    What hellobore is that in the video that holds its head up? I may be interested in one like that



  44. Kim Sigle on May 28, 2022 at 8:57 pm

    Unfortunately, the deer in our neighborhood LOVE hostas!



  45. Joan Davis on May 28, 2022 at 8:59 pm

    I’ve been reading that Rudbeckia can be invasive, both by seed and by roots. How do you keep your Rudbeckia in check?



  46. Ninh Tran on May 28, 2022 at 9:01 pm

    It would be great if someone inboxed me now



  47. R Taylor on May 28, 2022 at 9:01 pm

    I ordered and planted 3 Autumn Charm this year with the variegated leaves 🙂
    I don’t know the variety name of all the other Sedum I’ve had for the past 20 years.
    From watching your videos, you got me hooked on Heuchera. I probably have 8 different colors in groupings in various spots in my garden. Love them 😀
    Your videos are informative and inspirational.



  48. Romayne Carlin on May 28, 2022 at 9:02 pm

    brilliant!! 😄😄😄

  50. Gracie on May 28, 2022 at 9:03 pm

    Awesome info – give us more about perennials! How do I get rid of thick grass perennial bed which I hate. Very hard to pull out by hand, thanks.
