Adding Hot-Weather-Loving Perennials to the Garden 

Hi Jenny, your so right!!!! My car has a mind of its own🥴🥴🥴🥴it’s always driving me yo my local garden center!!!! I’m not sure why, I have a yard full of beauty’s , but I always find a spot for “ I say the last one” big as you know plants are so gorgeous I just can’t help myself. Watching you and Laura, I have learned so much, we’ve been in our house 38 years now and I just wish I had you 2 ladies years ago. My year is gorgeous now thanks to you. Love watching you every morning, thanks much

I lie to myself too. Every time I go into the garden center I say I'm not going to buy any flowers. I always do.

Had a good laugh when Brenna laid right where you wanted to drill.

How lovely Brenna is! 🥰 Refusing to leave mummys side & only wants a cuddle 😂

😊😊wanted to also say how cute and put together you always look. When I am working outside I look like a mess!🤣

“That’s just a lie. Let’s be honest.” ❤️🤣❤️ Thank you for all the great information. ❤️

Love all the new heat-loving perennials! The chicken coop area has filled in so much this year! 🤩

Oh Brenna! She didn't want to leave Mama at all. Such a love.

Black eyed Susan and purple coneflower such long bloomers and great perennials to spread around and share…also, great plants to use the babies to fill in a spot for place holders until you really know what you want.

Jenny you have accomplished so much in this area, will be fun watching it as it matures. Love hearing the chickens inthe background !! Have a good day everyone !!

Thanks for sharing your tip on what to do with your plants that shouldn’t be planted right now.

For any kind of bite, especially fire ants, have white vinegar nearby and pour it all over the area immediately. Works like a charm.

Great tip about pruning back newly planted perennials when planting in the summer heat. Thank you for giving us the courage to to do so😊❤️

Brenna is such a mommas girl! Love her!

Big shout out to Brenna for absolutely stealing the show in this video!

Wow! That clay soil is as bright Orange as some of those flowers! 😮

Love you Girl! That’s a lie, I’m planting more plants, tell the truth, love it!😂

Love your color choices! I also have clay, but a different color 🤦🏻‍♀️. The show stealer was Brenna, so faithful. Thanks Jenny.

How fun to see you planting Magnus! 👌 He lived about an hour away from where I am. He was a nursery owner and very well known at least here in the southern parts of Sweden! 🙌 Lots of love as always from Sweden 🇸🇪

Jenny - love the video and the chicken coop area is gorgeous!. An idea for a video is to show a before and after video of red clay - how hard and crumbly it is when dry, but then when wet, it is so thick, slippery, and stains everything! I have gardened in Virginia and now western NC and feel your pain!

Thank you for all the invaluable information, Jenny! 🙌🏻

You certainly planted some of my favorites today, Jenny. Can’t wait to see this area next year.

Jenny, I believe you said you weren't going to plant any MORE perennials, but I never heard you say you weren't going to plant any LESS. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! 🤣 Suggestion for the insect biting/stinging - have you tried After Bite? If not, get some for the humans. Not sure what to suggest for Brinna. Hope you both heal quickly.

My grandmother loved camellias as well 😊 I remember she had a beautiful camellia in her front garden which was her pride and joy- it was quite large and produced beautifully fragrant flowers in a creamy white colour. She really babied that plant but it rewarded her with such beauty in return!

Good morning, Jenny☕️The chicken coop area is filling in and looks great! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐶

I just love how Brenna supervises

Hi Jenny, your neighbor from Knoxville, TN here. I’m so over the word hot! Bring on Fall!!!!- Have a great day and thank you from your videos!

Brinna is the Vanna White of your garden today lol

Great video, I love all the flowers you are planting ❤

Hello, Jenny❤. Yes, we are in maintenance mode too. Looking for the blessing of God’s awesome rain water to kiss the grass and the plants…they seem to smile extra pretty when He does and I’m very thankful too! Nice and informative content. Thank you.

Jenny, I love your earrings. Really classic. The coop garden is looking good, those hens are lucky.

Thank you Jenny love the flowers you planted great tips, info wow water bags ! have a wonderful day🐞😊🐾🐾

Great video, lots of tips for the very hot weather.

Brynna loves you so much!😊

Yes, definitely maintenance mode right now in the NC Sandhills. Thanks for the info and push to trim my perennials. Love your idea to keep the path to the chicken coop natural material, both for practicality but also the look. Every garden needs some natural areas, including paths. Mine is pinestraw based, due to an overabundance 😂 of it, much like Mimi's garden. 🥰

Jenny, the ckn coop area is really filling in and looking nice! Appreciate all your tips/tricks always. Love sweet Brynna! Always like to see at least a snippet of Jerry! Glad you and Brynna survived whatever was in the mulch. That's unpleasant. Also, your young trees up there are looking very healthy and happy! This heat has mine looking a bit droopy. Stay cool 😎

Thanks Jenny. Also zone 8a NC. I agree with your strategy of waiting to plant certain things. And water water water all the rest.

I’m having great success with Euphorbia here in Texas, coastal 9B. They love the heat and humidity! Highly recommend.

Great video. Hang in there.

Those are some lucky chickens! Bless you and Brynna it is HOT 🔥🔥

Love the orange coneflowers!

Loved this. Just ordered 2 lilacs & 2 hydrangeas. If it’s too hot here I will put in a bigger pot till it cools down. We are expecting 90’s the end of this week so will see if I can plant. Good information, thank you.

Love your hat!! and Brenna and everything you share!!

Jenny, thanks for sharing the information on the tree rings. I'm going to get some of those for sure. Things are heating up here in Washington state.

FYI. Bunnys love to eat echinacea plants. You might want to put them in taller planters.

Oh no, I don’t have any orange and I promised no more plants…..haha, never stop planting.

Was anyone else yelling “Jenny- get out from under that tree right now please!!!!”

So sad, my Coreopsis succumbed to powdery mildew!!! I treated for awhile but gave up!!! Good news, Nepata, sedum, lambs ear, hostas and Hydrangeas are thriving!

Hi there Jenny: Thanks for all of your helpful information. We are going into a heat spell with rain here in Indiana so will do some container gardening and take it from there. I have notes to read over and information from your channel almost an entire notebook of gardening information trying to learn about new plants etc. I hope you,Jerry & all have a good day & thanks again!

Jenny please film how you replace the tip❤

I bought a clearance 2 gallon size bobo hydrangea yesterday ($6!!!) and it's pretty dried out. It's almost two feet tall. How hard should I prune it back? Just the top few inches to the next nodes or more aggressively? I soaked it in a bucket of water for an hour before I replanted it in a container.

Good morning Jenny, OMGoodness you weren’t kidding when you said red clay. I had a black kitty that was just like Brenna, he was everywhere I was when I was working in my flower beds!

Thank you so much, Jenny! I’m always learning from you! I will pick up those water bags. It’s so hot here, too!😊

Brenna: Thanks for moving that mulch mom the ground is nice and cool on my belly. Jenny: Brenna I am working here can you move. Brenna: No is nice here. I go through the same thing with my old boy ... constantly needing to inspect and "help" me.

I sdore coneflowers. Bought one yesterday " Sunseeker Mineola" sooo beautiful !! Swore this spring I would not buy any more coneflowers but I couldn't pass this one up !!😊😊

Lovely video today. I hear you say "red clay" but then I see it on top of your mulch. It makes me appreciate what type of soil I have (non-red clay) more. (I'm not being snarky, I promise!) I love the plants that you planted today and I get the heat thing. Don't have humidity but when it's 111-115 out there...I don't glisten. I flat out sweat like a pig. Lol

Brynna is perfect advertising for German Shepherds. What a sweetie!! Love your new flower colors, nice and bright! ??? Is there any way to prevent Echinacea leaves from turning black or dark, similar to one you planted. We've hardly had rain and I do not water overhead.

I love cone flowers. This latest I shared chyan in my pens tomorrow also. Huggicates Jenny!!😊

Have you gotten Serama chickens yet??? 😊 Or east indies ducks would be cute! Or get a peacock from COG hill Farm. OK no peacock.. Get a Green Wizard Rubeckia to intermingle with your taller echinaceas and Rubeckias! They are fun intrest like an allium almost...

❤

Good morning Jenny. I just bought some loropetalums and the ones I have planted are either now dead or really struggling and getting crispy even though I have been watering them. So when you spoke about not planting certain plants this time of year I’m confused about what to do since I live in Greensboro zone 8a. Could you explain more about the plants you can’t plant now. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do to teach us gardeners.

Hi 👋 Jenny

...don't laff, okay? Beryl is supposed to bring more humidity as she turns NE -- with dewpoints around 74-77° in MD [7a]! I know this is your typical range in NC, but the air is gonna be sooo thick -- and I'm not gonna be fit ta look at! I've tracked only up to 74° dewpoints here in central MD. On a hopeful side are strong chances for rain this week -- for you too. We are in official "severe drought" status. My beds are good, but the backdrop for lawn has never been so bad/gone. It is as dormant as dormant can be. 🥵🥺🤷🏼‍♀️ #straw 👩🏼‍🌾💚 =^..^=

You've already removed a lot of my fear about pruning. However, the one scenario I'm still unsure about is, if pruning would also remove all the existing leaves (say for instance that the lower leaves have fallen off from heat stress). Would the plant just happily grow all new ones? Or does the plant need some leaves to process sunlight for energy?

I love watching your videos and have picked up some great tips. The last one I watched was the one where you were pruning back in the burm area. Could you tell me again the name of the iris you had there? So beautiful.

Do you have to put those plants on drip, or did they do okay without? Love your selection. Gonna be amazing. 😊

I have a small flower bed that can go from standing water to dry as a bone clay soil then back to wet all throughout our growing season here just outside of Kansas City. 6+ hours of sun. Any ideas for perennials to plant there with the varying water conditions?

When you started drilling the holes for the plants I wondered why you spray painted circles around the holes, then realized it’s your clay soil 🤦‍♀️😂😂😂😂😂

Consider Helen VonStein stachys?

❤️🇺🇸😎

Jenny, can you go ahead and plant a Little Lime Punch hydrangea now or do I need to wait for cooler weather?

💖💖💗💗💛💛💛💛

Jenny, where is the order I placed online months ago? I received part of it but not the rest. It said it was “Fulfilled” but it was not. Please reach out!

How do you keep your gs from barking at the augar . Ours hates anything that has wheels or makes noise. Etc chainsaws weedeaters etc. I have to put her back in the house.
