  • Hi all! Today, I'm sharing some beautiful patio decorating ideas! We were in desperate need of a patio refresh for Spring, so we spent the weekend cleaning up and styling our small outdoor patio space!
    Over the last three years, my outdoor patio area has gotten quite dirty and needed some love. So, I took the opportunity to clean it up, purge some old stuff, and get rid of weeds that had grown due to all the recent rain in California. I also treated myself to some new plants, like the creeping Myrtle and Spanish lavender, which not only look amazing but also help bring bees to the garden. Speaking of which, I also got a new hummingbird feeder as my previous one was destroyed by ants.
    I also decided to put my new power washer to the test by totally cleaning out my patio area, furniture, and chairs. I bought it on Amazon for roughly $100 and used it to clean everything in my garden, from the outdoor furniture to the rug. It was amazing how well it worked - everything looks as good as new now!
    I'm excited to just sit back on the patio and watch all those beautiful hummingbirds flying around! My birthday weekend was a successful one filled with so many projects, and I'm super happy with the results!
    Have you decorated your patio for Spring yet? Let me know in the comments below!

    In Ct. I have done a lot of yard clean up between rainy days. I have a little more cleaning of the yard to do. After that I want to check to see if any edging is needed, then I can clean up the patio of things that need to be put away, and then I can take old plants out of 3 large planters that were given to me free and replant. After that start working on vegetable garden and doing seeds for flower beds that steady hold perrenials . I had already cleaned my 6 ft diameter fish pond.

    I used to have issues with ants on my hummingbird feeder and I read somewhere to rub some Vick vapo rub on the pole (I did a spot on bottom and top of the “pole” ) so I did that last year and I didn’t see one ant 🤞🏻. Watching this I need to start on my patio 😬 happy belated Birthday ❤

      Oh thank you for this tip! I have some and need to do that ASAP! I will totally try this!! 😉

    I had problems with ants getting in my hummingbird feeders too, I found that rubbing vaseline at the hanger will stop them. 😊

    Happy birthday. The patio looks great. I would remove the tags from the pillows and the furniture.

    I don't understand why you would leave outside all your furniture, rug and pillows all winter. Wouldn't it be better to store everything.

    I'm also in Southern Cal, what do you do when it rains after you have done all that cleaning? Do you have covers to put over your furniture? I saw it's supposed to be really hot this weekend and then rain again next week!🤦‍♀️

      Usually I'll try to look at the weather and make sure most of the rain is done, but it happens every once in a while. Luckily, we didn't get any rain up here after cleaning so I've been good! 💕

    Can you add the big white pot brand that you planted the creeping Myrtle in with the shallow planting depth???? Please

  • @deenaaaron874
    @deenaaaron874 Před rokem +1

    You will still get ants but here is a trick I use. Spray the line you hang it from with cooking spray and they won't climb it. Also I don't fill mine very full because it gets rancid in the heat and it's not good for the hummers. I just keep putting in fresh when it gets low. I haven't had any hummers yet. Anxiously waiting!

    Loved this video the vibe is amazing but a fiends of mine is a zoologist and specializes in hummingbirds and others small species of birds and she says to not boil the sugar and water mixture as it dilutes it and the humming birds will need to drink more of it to get what they need from it. Hope this helps :)

    It looks beautiful! I think the prices on plants are outrageous now though. It's hard for me to spend $20 on a plant, unless it is a perennial ❤ my one splurge is always 2 huge Boston Ferns I hang on the porch and I try to catch those on sale! 😊

    • @ValerieAguiar
      @ValerieAguiar  Před rokem +2

      I know, the prices on things just keep getting higher and higher! 😩 I definitley find it worth it if I can enjoy them in our space at home. Its cheaper than therapy! 😂😀

      @ValerieAguiar Do you transplant your Lavender into the landscape at the end of the season? I've started using perennials in containers if I can..that way they come back the next year. Like the miniature roses, Hosta, Elephant Ear bulbs, tulips...just whatever. It's way cheaper! 😊🩷 I just thought after I wrote this...Lavender will come back next season in the pots, if you can keep it living, lol

      At my old house, I had hundreds of hostas and quite a few ferns. I was on a limited budget so I would just dig some up, pot them and put them on the deck.
      I also took old wooden shutters. Without hammering anything, I just put them vertical, folded them at 90° angles and put a big tile on top to make a table.

    • @SometimeAgo65
      @SometimeAgo65 Před rokem

      @@americafirst9144 Yes, I've done that before using perennial plants like hostas. It works! 😊

    You can get a hummingbird feeder moat where the ants can’t get to it. Amazon has them. Happy belated birthday 🎉
