May Garden Tour & tips for eco-friendly cleanup!  

Thanks for a clear and straightforward video.

YAY, Lourdes! : )

Subscribed! Thanks for ur videos.

gulf fritillaries eat passion vine in Texas.

Your spring tour is fantastic. Looking forward to your next tour. From Ontario.

Thanks for another great video! I'm into my third year as a native gardener and have learned a lot from them.

Your garden is beautiful! And thank you for caring about our beautiful planet.

Today I saw the 1st Clearwing Hummingbird Moth nectaring on Creeping Phlox and we do have native Honeysuckle. Yay!!!

Although my garden will never be totally native, I've pulled out all the invasives. I totally agree about the violets, wherever it plants itself I allow it to stay. Culvers Root is on my wishlist, I have a spot reserved for it but I'm having a hard time finding it. Happy gardening from the Pocono mountains Pa. zone 6A

Great to see you Lourdes and happy spring!

Given your location, I’m sure you’ve had at least a week of day and nighttime temperatures above 50 degrees F (which is when most of the overwintering larvae have had a chance to emerge). Here in the Adirondacks we’re a bit behind you…

I replaced junky Butterflybush (host plant for Stink bugs…yuck!) with Buttonbush. It practically drips with nectar.

I'm also growing coral honeysuckle but training it as a ground cover. I'm inspired to grow more natives after watching your video.

Hi, I just discovered your videos and I loved them. Can you recommend a native short shrub for Quebec and where to purchase native plants in Quebec?

Excited to see the new video! I bought two arbors after seeing your beautiful coral honeysuckle. On one arbor I have virgins bower on one side and coral on the other side. The other arbor will have just the coral. Do you have coral growing up both sides of your arbor? It is hard for me to tell in this video. When I was a kid I would walk to the edge of the yard by the woods to pick violets for my Mom. Now they are all over the yard because it is not a manicured lawn anymore. I love your channel and learn so much from you! I have planted so many different plants because of your channel. Too many to list here. I could go on and on. LOL. 🙂

And now I know why I'm seeing so many more of those giant moths...I have the lonicera sempervirens and the woodland phlox (i think). Last year I had many of those moths! Please, what is the Latin name of the woodland phlox you referenced?

The best time to.plant a red bud is 7 years ago The second best time to.plant a red bud is right now

What zone are you in? I’m in MN, zone 4, and I wonder how many of your natives will survive in my garden?

My leaves stay in the garden. Hard to get people to realize their usefulness.

So sad about your holly. You could try cutting it off about 8" from the ground. If the tree roots are alive, it should sprout.
