Thanks! I can now be the master Gardner I’ve always wanted to be!
Beware of asiatic or martagons lilies because the red lily bugs have arrived in this zone and are only really managed but squishing them with your hands or drowning them in a water/oil mixture. We have to go out several times a day to catch them.
Im glad I found you! Videos are great!. Im in Alaska and have been an avid vegetable gardener for many years .I am just starting to try to grow flowers. I got lilacs, hostas, geraniums on sale last fall. There are alot of plant sales coming up and this video lets me know what to look for ! THANKS
Love this thank you! We just bought property in zone 4
Hi, I’m from Dimapur, Nagaland, India. I am a beginner in planting so, I have a question. Can pionees grow in warm places/ weather?
I’m in zone 4, planning for gardens in zone 3-4. Glad to have found your videos.
I agree! So sick of seeing yellow red tulips. Our home is very old, we have a lovely array of colors.
BIG HELLO 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I love that you are sharing experience from the Canadian Prairies cold because a lot of things we hear about hardiness zones actually get the US label of hardiness zones. Our systems ARE DIFFERENT. Whenever you hear Zone 5 in US (Maine, Chicago) you are actually referring to Zone 6 in CA (Montreal). It has to do with how those systems (USDA vs AgCan) calculate amount of hours of sun, amount of days in the planting season, and min and max temperatures. So, beware!
If you are gardening in Canada you have to do this conversion, otherwise you might buy plants that will not really thrive in your place. And if possible, read and gather info from Canadian authors, just because when gardening all these differences in context matter a lot.
All links are down. 🙁 Really liked the information though.
Any other recommendation for a Zone 3 perennial ground cover aside from rockfoil?
No links are accessible, not sure why.
I’m in zone 6/7 but I find this helpful as you really show what they look like in a landscape not just unhelpful closeups or pictures with no scale. also you talk about fragrance which is really important but just not always covered.
I’m in zone 3-any recommendations for spreading plants that choke out dandilion?
Lovely suggestions!
Ostrich ferns are delicious to eat! Pick them early when they’re still "fiddleheads" and sautée them up witih some butter! YUM.
I just love how you teach step by step. 😘
Rockfoil invade my garden
Great video and some helpful plant choices for my zone 3 garden.
I live in Illinois,Thanks so much!
I just found your channel!! LOVE IT!! Am going to be watching all your videos! Thank you for the great information!! You are awesome 🙂
Yes yarrow has invaded many lawns.
Hi love your channel, we are in zone 5 but we are high desert – we have had days of 100+ & the same night below freezing ( woke up to a frozen dog water bowl with a mouse inside ) we’re wanting to make a food forest ,,I was thinking of a zone 3 forest 😀 the land is very small under 1/2 ac in town. (We are looking for a Fram outside of town) this will be practice & where we will stay Saturday nights for Church on Sunday , and for friends and family. Will zone 3 plants survive that ? ?..help please if you can. Thank you & GOD BLESS FROM CHRISTMAS VALLEY OREGON
Im so glad I found you… I’m just planting my space… I use Monk’s hood , It stands up straighter and stronger than delphinium and I love the foliage too ! Very hardy and seems to take some shade….
Found what I’m looking for. I’m in zone 3 so this is helpful. Thank you for sharing.

Love your videos!! Could you do a video on zone 3 deer resistant annuals and perrenials??
Ooh I’ve never seen globe flowers before looks lovely. Thanks for the video, I’m moving to a colder zone and this was encouraging.
