Inaugural Garden Tour, May 2024 - A little introduction and a look at some Clematis 

I appreciate the support and vote of confidence, Brie.

Thank you

Oh how kind to hear. Thank you.

Thank you. Hope to have another video in a week.

So good to hear😀

Thank you. I hope it is inspirational and informative.

Always a work in progress. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, such a wonderful vine that can easily find it's own way in the garden, especially a congested one😉

Right on 😉

Oh, how wonderful. Thank you. A new one is coming soon.

Thank you. Strap in...more to come.

That is fantastic. Thank you so much. Hopefully you'll enjoy future videos. There will likely be another clematis one soon.

Thanks. More to come for sure.

Thank you. More to come for sure.

You're very welcome, and thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. There will be more later.

More to come.

Oh that's wonderful. They really decorate the garden in a special way. Thank you so much for watching.

Thank you. There will be more to come, along with many other cool plants. Stay tuned.

Thank you, and you're welcome.

Thank you. Hope to make them fairly regularly. Certainly lots to show.

Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate the support.

I look forward to them opening as well.

I appreciate you saying this

Wonderful. Thank you so much.

Much appreciated. Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, you should come see it - much better live.

Thank you...and you're welcome.

Thank you for the kind words. The garden is full of wonderful plants. I plan to share more of it, and will certainly show lots of the Japanese maple collection.

Oh, thank you so much. More opened recently so there will be more to come along with plenty of other cool plantings.

How wonderful. It must be fun to curate such lovely flower gardens. I hope to keep this up, especially as long as people enjoy it. So thank you for your support.

Great suggestion. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed this.

That is great to hear. They certainly are enjoyable vines, despite some of the setbacks at times.

I have one Montana at the moment. It's fairly young and still in the works. Showing good growth.

Excellent. She's a champ.

Thank you so much

Awesome, and thank you. Plus, yes, get your cat up there on IG

@@TheSabioYarden Thanks I will do! He's on my channel here on RU-vid (check it out! 😉) but I think it was confusing viewers as I'm mainly about gardening and so I'm scaling bact the cat side, hence thinking of giving him his own space. Anyway, bye for now, and happy gardening!

Hi Jennifer. Been following you for a while. We'll need to do visits.

Thanks☺

Thank you☺

Excellent!!

Fantastic. Thank you. I did order a little microphone.

Awesome. Hope that doesn't mean I'm a bad influence😂

Thank you. Years ago, as I removed more and more grass and built more beds adding various interesting plants, I one day realized the yard looked more like a garden than a yard, and thus 'The Yarden' was declared (and I love some wordsmithing😁). I designed a graphic and had the sign made.

@@TheSabioYardenwhat zone?

@@Crazycatsx 7b/8a

Thanks, Frank. Yes, forever changing.

Thank you. I'll cover more as they do their thing. I have lots of varieties throughout.

Right on. Glad you tuned in. Brie is amazing.

Let the collection grow

Thanks, Crystal. Thanks for the support.

I've not had a vine be so full and robust as to make we worry. No bad side effects yet at least. Evergreens are pretty tough for the most part. I had thought about a planting video, and this might be a good aspect to add. Thanks

@@TheSabioYarden you are welcome! Thank you!

Thank you.

It's a great, and fairly true mantra. Gardening teaches us patience. But it is exciting when a plant starts performing immediately😁

@@TheSabioYarden 👍 agree

Thank you. More to come.

Thank you. Fortunately, being a wooded lot, there is a substantial amount of wonderful soil, so clay is not a big issue for me. I have to dig pretty deep to get to that. In fact I some times go across the street to dig in holes from old stumps to get a little bit of clay to add some heft into the mix for some of the plantings. Good problem to have, right?😄

I don't add much fertilizer to the garden, but for the clematis I will add RoseTone when trying to force reblooming. Also, though I am not regimented about it by any means, I occasionally add lime.

Thank you. I am in Zone 8a (recent reclassification), so I do not bring the pots inside. Our Winters are fairly mild outside with a few cold snaps. Nothing recently that has made feel compelled to protect them in any special way.

@@TheSabioYarden ..thank you.. what a difference ‘one zone makes’… lol… I am zone 7 in Oklahoma and definitely have to bring things in..I am really enjoying your channel so far.

@@victoriamichalik1797 Definitely better safe than sorry. Very wise. It is crazy the slight zone shift and the variability between them. I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying it. Thank you for the support.

Hi CJ. Just using a text overlay at the moment provided within Rush. As I move forward might need to move up to Premiere or DaVinci. Video editing is not my forte` though.

Thank you. I'm in central NC, Zone 7b/8a...recently had the official change to 8a.

Definitely look at some of the texensis varieties, like Princess Diana and Princess Kate - they kinda want endless sun, from the ground up. You may have some trouble with the large hybrid ones, but still worth trying, especially with a little care in the beginning. Something like 'Josephine' may work well

Ok update I got some clematis Jackmanii from tractor supply.

@@upgrayeddnotsure9994 Nice. It has good vigor and lots of blooms. Enjoy!

The jackmanii is sprouting yay. U think I should keep it in a large pot or put it in the ground . I'm worried about winter time .

@@upgrayeddnotsure9994 Yay!. You could continue to grow it in a pot without much to fear. And as for winter, I wouldn't worry too much outside of an extreme cold spell, but the nice thing is you could move the pot nearer to the house or in a protected area all together during that time. And maybe consider keeping it in the pot for a season anyway to develop a stronger root system in the event you want to put in the ground later. I generally prefer them in the ground, though a few I do keep in pots, usually smaller compact ones, but I admittedly don't like maintaining lots of pots because so much more is dependent on me. I think Mother Nature does a good, and even better job, so most do go in the ground. 'Jackmanii' is fairly vigorous when happy, and can grow quite tall, so at some point putting it in the ground and letting it go to full potential might be worth considering. I will be showing this one in an upcoming video soon and you will see what I mean. Enjoy

Though both are part shade, Arabella will get several hours of sun during the late Spring and Summer months when the sun rides high over the garden. Angelique gets a bit more shade, albeit bright shade, and gets a splash of it in the morning and then another bit of late day sun toward mid to late Spring. But by now the large Crepe myrtle is leafed out and shields it most of the day. By my experience, Angelique is certainly the more shade tolerant, and I'd even been willing to try it in the back garden that is mostly shade if I ever get another or propagate it.

Thanks! I’ve got lots of shade and look forward to trying Angelique. Don Shor (Davis Gardening Show) grows Huldine with his red leaf Japanese Maples. He gets a kick when people ask him about his blooming JM. Maybe you should try since you have lots of JM?

@@LinusCello75 I have Huldine planted, still fairly new and placed it wrong initially, so transplanted it. No blooms yet, but I'm hopeful. I bet it looks amazing in the JM, I can totally picture it. I have Acer palmatum 'Lileeanne's Jewel' ready to receive a clematis - I'm thinking 'Pink Fantasy' with it's soft muted 2 tone pinks to pick up on the pink margins of the leaves. Also for your shade consider 'Silver Moon, which is supposed to do shade well. I just planted this in a very shady spot in the woodland...we'll see. And for some more open bright shade, consider 'Abilene' and of course 'Samaritan Jo'. Enjoy your experiments.

Thanks for the additional shade clematis recommendations. Have you tried growing any with your camellias?

@@LinusCello75 I haven't yet, though I just planted one near one of my older camellias that gets decent morning sun, so we'll see what happens.
