🏡Gardening in August - Summer Gardening 

I'm sure I have missed a few things. If you think of something I missed add it down below. Thanks for watching.

I love these monthly to do list videos. They are super helpful to a new gardener!

Can you do a video elaborating how the beneficial bugs catch up to the bad ones and not to pesticide? Basically covering when to and when to stop. Maybe you have one already I don’t know lol

The more I see that gorgeous shed, the more I love it x

Always learn something great from all of your videos, keep it up!

I love watching your videos, always informative. I live in zone 6b would I divide my day lilies now....they have never been divided in 15 years...lol Retirement has sparked a wonderful new hobby. Again thank you for all your videos

I make my to-do list from these monthly videos, Jim. Super helpful! Thank you from 6b Saint Louis 🌺

Great spectrum of content in your checklist! I just took photos of all the beds to determine what stays, gets moved or doesn't return next year.

Love the Monthly checklist videos-they are always packed with info-give the birds water if it's dry and they will tend to leave tomatoes alone-always had a problem with Cardinals and Mockingbirds spearing my tomatoes until I put out a water source for them. Seems to help! zone 7a TN.

Looking good there! I planted tomatoes just like you. I trimmed one of my tomato plants because it was getting leggy.

Thanks Jim!

Great video Jim, your garden is really coming together, you'd never say that it's a new space🙂 the garden journal is a great idea.

Even though we have different growing zones, I always get so much good info from you. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. It's much appreciated!

What a great idea! I never thought of using golf tee to mark plant sites--thanks for the tip, Jim!

I am in York, SC zone 7b. Good information for me.

Great shot of that butterfly.

My indeterminant tomato is growing, but not vigorously, and has no blooms. Others plants in the area (squash and bell peppers) are doing well. What could be the problem?

Thanks for easing my mind about cutting back my Salvias this week, and for the info about deadheading butterfly bushes!

We're taking out a damaged poplar this weekend, it will change our sun/shade around the front porch & I have plans to bring in soil for a vegetable garden this fall to get ready for next year. I've had to grow in 30 gallon pots this year, have done ok but limited my abilities & made for lots of watering. I'm in N. Georgia, soil will def be better brought in & slightly raised. Thanks for all your info Jim, looking forward to next year! Getting a little rain & heat is better this morning. Afternoons are still brutal!

Awesome video. So fluid with the content.

Great info and advice, thanks 👍🏻

I always get a kick as to when people say Spring and fall crops....yeah here in Maine everything goes in at the same time. To short of a season

Thanks for another great monthly checklist. I'm terrible I actually plant alot of perrenials in August because this is the time of year after the summer perrenials start growing I can see any empty spots. Plus I like to get the clearance plants. They usually survive and thrive. Your garden looks amazing. So vibrant and so many different textures! I'm so glad you always talk about pesticides. I think the less we do the less the pest problem becomes. My only pest experience in 9 years has been aphids and only on my 3 yr old milkweed. I just squish them or spray them with water. This year I had tons of lady bug larvae who must have taken care of the aphids because I only seen a few.👍

You have improved my landscaping so much! If I want to add raised islands to my yard for visual interest.... do you have an opinion on the smallest size that is feasible to plant.....like 18" or 24"?

A lot of good info in this video. Thanks.

Thanks for the video Jim. Can I take up my dahlia bulbs after they finish blooming and just put them back in the ground? Also same questions on my cannas. I have some of those in a pot. After they are finished can I take those out and put in ground? TIA. Goldsboro z8a

Very informative! Thank for what you do!

At 2:02 you talk about getting rid of diseased plants. I understand they don’t go in yard waste or compost but where do they go? Trash? I don’t know about other options. Thanks!

Tons of fun!! You made a great to-do list all this preparations are important and your “going ahead” recommendation is a really this days, I’m already trying to buy and store some seeds I don’t know if is a good idea but is worth it to try

2nd! Jim, what are your thoughts about transplanting potted plants into the ground in mid August? I heard Mandevilla is very sensitive when temperatures go below 50F. Which means I need to bring it indoors during winter time. I also have a Tropical Hibiscus, not sure which type but it has lush green leaves and produces big bright red/orange flowers. Bought it a few months ago and it has grown quite a bit to 16" tall. I am tempted to just pop it in the ground over winter and see what happens. I am in zone 8a Dallas, TX.

Great salvia at 7:32 - which variety is that?

I found white moldy stuff in some hardwood mulch. (Zone 8) The area only gets rain water. I’m curious what caused it and do I have to remove the mulch?

You're superinformative but more/longer pauses so you can show us what you're referring to would be excellent. You whiz along so fast it makes me dizzy 🌞

I need to eradicate Virginia creeper. It’s a BIG problem. Huge runner vines. Thanks. Gulf Coast Alabama. Zone 8b

Hey Jim! I live in Charlotte, NC. I have 12 azealea bushes that have been infested with lace bug. Trying to do some research on how to get rid of them and haven't found a lot of info. Do you have any suggestions?

My encore azalea booming beautiful but now yellow dry flower she need prune or not yet ?

Jim, how can you tell diseases in your garden? Just curious to learn more.

I have a layer of leaves naturally fallen almost everywhere in the beds. Do I need to remove those prior to mulching?

i grow alot of things from seed. Have a stellar butterfly bush I'd like to patent. Do you have any suggestions on how to do that? Thank you very much.

Thanks Jim!
