I really enjoy learning from you. Keep it up.

Completely removed all that was in the previous garden and started over & first planted coral bells which are just beautiful and as the sun hits them from different angles you can see their distinctive color. I had several hostas in one of my gardens and they constantly received water from our awning we had outside. They grew to be massive and outstanding! It has been very humid here in Indiana so to stay outside for any great length of time is impossible. Will be out in the garden on Sunday early though. Thank you for all the information you provide in your videos which is not only enjoyable to watch but a great learning experience as well.

I had NO idea there were so many shade options out there. Thank you so much for this video. I have so much shade at my new house and I wasn't sure what to plant other than hosta. You gave me so many ideas, thank you!

Yeah I have 30 gardens at memorial Park in New Kensington PA and I have a lot of deer out there but you know what I use I use egg yolk and water on my hostess I use three egg yolks in a fairly good sized bottle with and then water and then shake it and then spray it when it first starts coming up and you don't have to keep spraying it all the time it does really good with even one or two sprays a year you guys need to try it it works good talk to you later bye

Leave plants in pots and set them where you want them for a time and see how they do.

Solid Liriope will take over your garden fast!! It is extremely invasive! Do not plant unless you want to fill in a blank space. It spreads underground and by seed and will travel under sidewalks and take over. The variegated variety tends to be more clumping and doesn't spread. Make sure you read the tags and ask questions before planting Lioriope.

Many deer so no to hostas. Would like to replace them with Astilbe. Could not grow them at my Florida home, but they seem made for Ohio! Looking for smaller size Astilbe that could be used as border plants in my small yard. Would Sprite variety be ok? I really like the look of the wispy blooms. How tall and wide do they grow, and how far apart should I plant them? Does Petittis Oakwood have them in stock?

Broke my heart to have to dig our decades old hosta because of deer damage. Tired of spraying, netting and seeing them eaten anyway. Hellebores instead.

Informative videos but your hand movements are too much and very distracting.
