Okay guys, last summer I did a HUGE backyard makeover and a ton of you were asking me questions about how it will survive a Canadian winter.... honestly, a lot of it stayed in tact, but there were definitely parts that needed a little bit of ~shaping~. Today I tackle adding a bit more greenery for some privacy, hanging up new lights and LOTS of weeding. What is your favourite part of my backyard?

Do you love thrifting as much as I do? Use code SORRYGIRLS for an EXTRA 30% off your first thredUP order: bit.ly/thredUPaugust21_SORRYGIRLS (expires 10/1/21 - US & Canada only!)
I wish you could have a code for repeat customers because I do like thredup and have shopped there a lot xD
When I follow your link, the Details for your discount code says Valid in the US only.
Thredup is a terrible website. The search parameters do not work. I ask for a particular size and I get sizes 2 or 3 sizes up and down. If I'm not careful I end up ordering something that doesn't fit at all. I ask for a particular color and again, too many colors. I've given up on Thredup.
Okay gal, I’m speaking as a certified floral designer with many years of landscaping and gardening experience. You are gonna want to water those evergreens all the way up until frost. This is the latest you can plant them, because it takes conifers a long time to establish enough roots to survive the winter. Water, water, water those babies until frost, OK?
Best gardening wishes, Ellen
thanks for the tip Ellen!
Yes! Love the sorry girls designs and videos 😊. Yards have such different needs than interiors 😅. Wish they would bring in a horticultural specialist or landscape designer to help them see problem areas and know what will actually work! 😁
@@TheSorryGirls actually water everything that ou planted daily!!!!!! cheers
She’s right about conifers they, being green so long need more water.
Did not know this so very helpful tip!
I can't restrain myself from making this comment. I would love to see TSG considering Native plants in garden design. Your devotion to the planet is a source of pride for you. Native plants will support butterflies, birds, bunnies and beneficial insects and thrive in your yard. The place looks great and I don't know which plants you chose might be native to your area, but some of the"weeds" you pulled out probably were beneficial. Just a thought for future outdoor work from someone who has discovered the world of native plants and their benefits to the planet.
Boosting
We all need to learn more about this.
@@hollyhamilton9648 pooekckmcm
Yes! You can also tell thzt the plants that died dont belong in that space or climate
This!!!
The best gardening advice I learned is “see a weed, pull a weed”. Anytime I go outside I try to pull out 1-5 weeds. It takes two seconds. It gives me something to do while my dogs pee. It really helps keep the weeds from taking over the world! And it doesn’t feel like hard work. 👍
Yes this! Every time I walk past my box garden at the front of my house I do a weed check. It makes it so manageable: unfortunately I don’t apply the same principles to my back garden and it’s a dreadful jungle.
i say, "see a weed, eat a weed" -- most of the plants we westerners deem to be ruining our gardens are actually free and potent plant medicine and food sources!
I should learn from you 🤣
My mum never leaves our garden without pulling up a tonne of weeds, they are relentless!
I want to do this more often. I need to keep gloves and my weed puller on hand.
Use native plants suited to the lighting, soil type, and drainage. When you plant new plants, they will need deep watering for 3 weeks to establish good rooting systems. When I created a garden, it was suggested that I let the water run for an hour a day. Native plants need less water and care and they support native pollinators and help recreate native habitat. We have less that 11% native habitat left in Ontario! So it's up to us to create it on our properties. It's the reason bird populations have declined incredibly. So providing the native habitat will bring all the native animals. It also helps correct climate change. / Any plant with a fancy name is not native, it's cultivated and a hybrid.
Okay, I just gotta say this. Becky has always been absolutely stunning, but she has been RADIANT lately. Just absolutely glowing. Hair looks silky and banging, eyes are bright and happy, and her smile just seems so much warmer. She just looks like she’s feelin’ good! We love a happy and healthy queen
1000% agree!
exactly my thoughts during the whole video! that hair tho..
As someone who has worked at a garden center the past 3.5 years, when planting evergreens, I would suggest that you really should be digging the hole twice the size as the root ball. You should also be adding in soil admendments such as leaf compost and compost manure. This late in the summer I would recommend SOAKING the soil (not the foliage) at least once a day or even twice for a good few minutes per plant. Do this for the next few months and you should have much better luck. Best thing to do is to not neglect plants after initially transplanting them from their nursery pots. Best of luck!
I would love to see you guys planting native, pollinator-friendly plants! Especially in a city, your yard is a great opportunity to create some habitat and food for native pollinators.
Love this. You should do more "how the space works/looks now" since sometimes spaces are designed one way, but the functionality the space demands turns out to mean changes need to be made.
I also love this frank and open view of returning to a space a year later!
The Sorry Girls are pretty transparant about their builds and processes, but so many TV-shows (move that bus, anyone) use chewing gum and craft paper to achieve movie magic that isn't functional and doesn't last, simply to meet the deadline.
The whole point of DIY is being able to tailor it to your needs, so this return/update is great!
You can save a ton of money and time by researching ahead of going to the nursery. Most costly mistakes I have made have been made by lack of research and planning. Gardening is hugely expensive. There is a massive environmental impact to growing plants for sale that we also tend to ignore.
yes! I would love more informed content on sustainable gardening!
Yes like Christmas trees!
The plant that you said looked out of control at the beginning of the garden center segment with the spike balls at the ends is rattlesnake master. In Oklahoma it is a disappearing native plant that was important to the the indigenous people. I have 3 of them, my pride and joy.
When Danny is on screen he's all I see
you and me both
@@TheSorryGirls 😆✌🏼
SAME!! I love that sweet boy. We had a border collie and she was the best dog we've ever had. So gentle but so protective.
I greatly appreciate that y’all were listening to bleachers during this project! ❤️
I dont know much about Canadian plants so don't have insight but I think in general sticking to natives is better. I live in Florida and only plant natives because I know they will survive our weather with limited work from me and there is less environmental impact to get to me in the first place. Gardening takes so much work and knowledge but if you can find a native nursery instead of normal garden centers it takes so much guess work and money loss out of the equation.
Yes! And it’s better for the local ecosystem
@@macocadena yes we have tons of native solitary bees and bumble bees and other beneficial insects and birds. Plus we don't have irrigation so we only water extra when first planting or in severe drought times, that combined with not needing to use pesticides and herbicides we don't worry about chemical runoff going into local water ways, which is a big problem down here. Honestly it's really low maintenance when you have natives.
"Becky with the good hair" LITERALLY! 💕💕
My dad is an avid gardener and his saying is "it'll be even better next year"
You totally encapsulated that with your garden here 😊👍
Becky with her new plants a year ago: "I love you!"
VS Becky present day with those plants "Thank you, next"
SAVAGE 😆
I don't know, that's kind of sad. Plants are not design choices or decor that you change every year, they are living things, and a garden is definitely not something you take care of once a year, when you do a video update. I'm not a plant expert, but I have never killed a plant, if you know which plants to choose, they require minimal care to keep them alive.
consumerism at its finest
Becky’s hair looks absolutely phenomenal in this video!! I also love the contrast between yours and Kelsey’s backyard videos; amazing work the both of you! :)
i'm from brazil and i'm an interior and lighting designer currently studying landscaping architecture, and it's so cool too see how different (and expensive, jesus) are the plants in canada vs. here, especially because of the season thing (our winter here is definitely not so bad and our plants don't suffer that much) and etc. cool content, guys!
I am heeeeeeere for these frequent uploads recently 💖
You should dig the hole twice as wide as the rootball and deeper (and backfill in to make it level) so that the soil allows the new roots to spread easier and become established.
Yes. Words of wisdom: for a $10 tree dig a $20 hole
I always buy the smaller/smallest plant sizes as stores/nurseries. Often they've been stuck in the same nursery pot for long enough that as soon as you plant them, they have a growth-spurt! Otherwise, I'm patient and know they'll grow anyways!
My only exception is some succulents 'cause some are very slow growing.
The article furniture 😭😭😭 nooo... It'll only hold up a few years if you continue to not cover it. Learned this the hard way.. trust me 😭😂
I also highly recommend watching the British show Big Dreams, Small Spaces with Monty Don. He is an incredible gardener and it is the perfect cozy show to watch while doing a DIY project!
I love that show! It’s on Canadian Netflix (at least it was when I watched it)
Like everyone else - can’t believe it’s been a year. The backyard really is back! I love “going” to your nursery in Canada. The flowers are so beautiful. We do not have the same choices here in Texas. I can barely stand the overwhelming high heat index to go see our nursery. It’s a big deal keeping flowers through our hot as an oven summers.
Trim off the yellow leaves at the bottom of you tomato plant. Get three sticks to make a pyramid tired together with twine at the top will look great in the patio.
She had a wire plant support in it...
@@mellie4174 ah I could see it.
When that lavender grows up it will smell heavenly and you can cut some and bring it in the house! The grasses will look great when they are taller too! Great job Becky!😀👏🌺🌲
I swear Becky can pull off any outfit
also can we talk about how nice becky's hair was? it looked so voluminous and healthy!
I was looking for this comment! It looks so good in the last shots of this video, whatever she's doing with her hair right now works!
I'm tired of Becky's perfect luxurious hair vs my greasy birds nest in the mirror
New England here...that wicker furniture will have much more longevity if you bring it in your basement. They are lighter than your fire pit and which can take the weather much better.
I've heard that majesty palms are so affordable here (in Canada or North USA) because they really can't survive beyond two or so years in our climate, necessitating us to buy more to replace them. It's better to go with hardier plants that look a bit less tropical!
Palms are for indoor sun rooms or greenhouses.
They don't survive at all in the north, especially Canada haha they are only for indoor use or you buy them for the summer season and let them die. Which is the way most plants are marketed, the idea is to have a plant decoration that lasts a little longer than cut flowers, it dies eventually, you buy another one and the cycle continues.
@@hdmm9136 this hurts my heart :(
@@redorangeyellowgreen same here 😬 thankfully it has changed a lot because so many people are interested in keeping houseplants long term.
@@redorangeyellowgreen Same! I love palms, I have various different kinds at home.
when you're gonna plant flowers/plants, it is smart to look for information about them; if it needs to be in a sunny place, how much water it needs and when you should plant them (what month in the year). it can also be smart to look up on what soil they like to be plantet in too! just some easy tips ;)
Did u watch the video??? Cause she litterally videod the plant / needs instructions pages in the nursery...
@@mellie4174 not necessary to be rude, just trying to help 🙄
Love the veggie pots as decor, I have a woman-high tomato on my balcony that is just beautiful!
If something else dies again, ask your local friends what thrives in their gardens and then go to a local growing nursery or farmers market. Flowers like Iris or day lily (edible and delish) could work nicely, because their rhizoms store water in the hot summer and on the dryer winter days and you might ask someone to give some to you, cause they divide very easily. Oh and you can also use your grass cuttings as mulch for the next time.
When watering your plants outside, especially the delicate ones, wait until there's complete shade in your garden. I know it's difficult in the summer but watering in the day will burn the leaves and petals. I'm sure you know this, but just in case!!
Love the Garden Re-up! Obviously I love the final glam ups and they're very inspiring but it's really refreshing to see a space that was glamorously redone getting an upkeep moment!
Wow time flies it's already a year later?! I remember watching that video soo many times
Becky mentioning you guys are gonna tell her what she did wrong in the comments is hilarious 😂 the sorry girls have one of the most judgmental viewers 😅
This video has such a light and airy vibe. Becky you’re so beautiful, confident, happy, and inspiring in this video. You’re so good at what you do!
Garden held up so well. It’s still a vibe. Love it!
The shots of you sitting and talking outside are GORGEOUS!! We need more intros or something like this!!
"...Pulling up weeds every year..."
What. I live in a tropical country and if we don't weed the garden every week (especially during rainy season) the weeds take over!lol less time taking out weeds would be amazing haha
Are the bigger shrubs/tree-thingies you planted Thuja? If so, you want to make sure that your pooch doesn’t eat any part of the plant. It’s toxic, especially the tips of the leaves.
I think they are just arborvitae
@@jaclynelise2966 Arborvitae are Thuja. It’s toxic to dogs. In large amounts even lethal.
You're going to love the ornamental grasses - once they get taller and the wind blows - it is so soothing.
Just a friendly FYI, when planting you should dig the hole 2 times deeper and wider, place the tree and backfill. If you do it the tiktok way the roots will come up against hard ground and think it's still in the pot. It won't be able to spread out & become healthier and stronger. You should also amend that soil that you backfill. The quality of our back yard soil is usually pretty poor.
My dad has planted after dumping soil in our backyard. Acc. to him the existing soil won't support the plants since they were overused and have loss most of it's mineral and fertility.
I love these update videos!!
One way of avoiding having weeds take over your flower bed is to not leave bare spaces. Weeds are very opportunistic.
i love how u guys did a realistic one year update with ur projects. and tbh, this 2nd makeover is so much better looking!
Loving these updates! I also loved the replacement with the veggie plants
Maybe a good idea would be a nice privacy fence to cover up the steel fences connecting to the neighbors? ❤️
Just wanted to say your videos always make my Tuesdays better!
We can't have competition in this household lmao Becky is hilarious also that edit giving us shades 😂
Person who works in that plant shop watching this and finally figuring out where those plant cards disappeared to
I was like omg it’s Tuesday, that means a new TSG video 😁 then saw this was posted 5 mins ago 👼
Looks great,
2 tips, I have the boomerang lilac and regular, the lilac you saw at the Nursery will bloom all through the Summer but likes mostly sun, the regular lilac blooms once a year. Even better are Drawf Butterfly bush that flowers ALL Summer (flowers are similar to a lilac) they truly attract a ton of butterflies, watching them never gets old and they are Perennial
I learnt the hard way about those ornamental grasses, they re-seeded EVERYWHERE this year, luckily I have a small area
I’ve been wondering about this! Yay for an update!
love this vid and the honesty- looks great !!!
Very nice.
Your dog is so proud of
his/her ball, sweet .
It’s funny to see this because I followed your video as a tutorial for my own patio makeover last month!!
Looks great, Becky! Love outdoor space makeovers! 💙
Buttercup! That's the third powerpuff girl. She was my favorite!
I really love your update vlogs! 💖
Love everything you do Becky!! ❤️❤️❤️
Okay but Becky is legit strong woman handling those trees like they’re nothing
It looks like your circle pea gravel area is in shade. So if true, and you don't get at least 6 hours a day of sun, don't look at plants at the Nursery that are in bright sun all day. Shop in the section of the Nursery that is shaded, for the best plants to put in your shaded flower bed. You also need to consider your soil type, to decide if your plants need to be acid loving plants/shrubs; or alkaline loving. Most plants that do well in shade are acid loving plants. So fertilize them with Miracle Grow with Chelated Iron, to insure your leaves stay nice and green, and don't turn to yellowish leaves with green veins. If their leaves are turning yellowish with green veins, then mix up the Miracle Grown and spray the leaves and around the roots of the plant ASAP.
Wow, great timing. I was just thinking about this last week.
Happy to see her shining and happy again .. by the way ur hair looks amazing and healthy ❤️❤️
Cozy summer vibes
Roses of Sharon is my favorite. They are so beautiful!!
For a plant as root bound as the one that had the tags stuck in it, you need to cut an X through the bottom of the roots and follow the lines up the side (not too deep), to help the roots grow outwards instead of continuing in the spiral they've done in the pot. If they keep growing in the spiral, they'll die.
With your weeds. If you are not going to be planting from seed you can use a Pre-Emergent. It is made from corn. It does not kill weeds but it prevents them from germinating. We have a large area of rock in our lawn we put down twice a year. But we don't have snow. So you would need to put it down at a different time than I do. It works very well. Does not hurt your other plants. But no weeding next year. It is so worth it. Give it a try.
Your patio held up really well - nice to see the refresh too.
Thank you for doing the time stamps so I could easily skip over the ad. We love it.
Isn't it the most satisfying thing when the mulch is put down? Fantastic job.
bubbles, blossom & buttercup! and danny is the cutest ❣️
She's the sweetest!! 💙
Buttercup is the missing Power Puff Girl
I was wondering if someone said it! haha
Omg, thank you!
Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup are the three Powerpuff Girls!! Hahaha💙💖💚
Becky: "All it really took was about a full day of work" 😁!
Me: "AND TWO INTERNS" 😜!
I always love the home & A-B&B episodes, they are always inspiring to do some type of 'makeover', even if it just means moving the furniture around 🤷🏼♀️! Good luck with your hedges…depending on the weather, they may struggle to root well before a hard frost. Don’t be afraid to water a lot & pray the sun stays out! Thanks for the fun episode, sending 🤗💜🙏🏻 to the whole team! Have a wonderful, healthy & Blessed week!
🦚- R.U.
I've been wondering about your backyard. It's looking great!
Very pretty. Lots of work but so satisfying to accomplish a beautiful place to enjoy outside.
Can't believe that Article furniture held up so well...hope we get to see another update next summer :)
I just love Becky’s and Kelsey’s personalities. I just love seeing you guys be yourselves
Your hair looks so good in this video Becky!!!! 🙌🥰
Becky is the hair queen fo sho. the tomato wants lots of sun and water. nice transformation.
Becky looks like a garden fairy in this video 🥰

That first plant is rattlesnake master. I have it in my yard and love it. They are awesome for flower arrangements.
She’s so beautiful!!! Love Thread Up!’
Looks pretty 💜
Looks great and I love your choices of your plants. For your Junipers, if you soak them a lot during the month of October, before it snows, it will flourish and be really beautiful in the spring/summer.
I am early :) and l'm hereeee for these frequent updates
Bubbles blossom and buttercup at 35 how do I remember that with out Google is that a concern?! 🤣 your garden looks amazing
