- In this weeks video I’m going to be cleaning up my basement couponing stockpile room. It’s a mess and needs to be organized and products put away. We had done raining days so I wasn’t able to work outside. It was the perfect time to get the basement cleaned up.
I had a sick plant to take care of and founds thrips on it 🤦♀️ so I’ll be treating some sick plants.

I’ve been doing a lot of cleaning and organizing since I retired last month…after 34 years in a hospital laboratory. When I get tired, I think of you and tell myself if Jodi can do it, just keep going. I must say I’d rather sit back and watch you clean and organize 😂 I sold and donated a lot of my coupon stockpile so now I have just enough for me and my family….and I keep on couponing! Thank you Jodi, for motivating my cleaning/organizing and teaching me to save with couponing.
Lol…I also retired last month and I’m organizing and cleaning to! It must be a retirement thing. 🤗. I agree with you about Jodi in how much she has showed us it’s OK to do alittle at a time and keep going! Thank you Jodi, love your videos! 😊
Noreen I remember you saying you retired but I didn’t realize it was just recently. Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️
Putting the plants outside during warm months is actually more beneficial than leaving them inside. They grow much bigger and the roots establish to stay strong during the winter.
Painted the last two walls of the living room yesterday. Today did the touch ups. Washed the floor in front. Then cleaned the bath, hall,, and my bedroom. Put away all the paint supplies and washed my paint clothes. Washed dishes, then my sheets and my bedroom curtains. Bed is made and the curtains are rehung. They are sheers and I put extra whitener on them and they look dazzling. Now off to lunch with a dear friend. Hopefully tonight I get the two huge bookcases moved and all the books put back. Then get my living room rearranged and enjoy it!
Wow you’ve gotten so much done 👏👏❤️❤️
You are a wonderful plant mama. Peonies don’t like to be moved a lot, so when you transplant part of your daughters peonies make sure it’s going to stay in the spot you pick. Her pink ones are gorgeous!
I had a peonies bush in an area that became the vegetable garden and I trans planted it to another area, split into two plants. They looked sad that year and this year the foliage looks good but no sign of blooming yet. My other peonies have been blooming maybe two weeks. But the reason I have some is I always admired my neighbor’s flowers and he gave me what looked like sticks. He said don’t worry this is what they look like at first, you wait. I think they didn’t bloom for a couple of years but they are glorious now. They are the pink like you have and the trans planted ones are more like a wine.
Boy those bugs are tiny, good thing you noticed. Thank you for this video Jodi.😘
Mary that’s so wonderful your neighbor shared a peony stick ❤️❤️
Peonies are easy to transplant! Just make sure u get the bulbs. Do it after they are done blooming. So you can do it now. Then next spring you will have them come up. After they’re done you can cut them back for fall. I have six of them. I have the deeper pink color. Love them!
Hi Jodi, Still plugging away at my garage clean-out. Need to trim up bushes haven't gotten to it. Sold some of the garage clutter tho! 😀
Hi Jodi, We have been done w/ school since 5/17. League 8u Baseball season is over and summer camp will be over next Thurs. The rest of the summer is about vegetable gardening, canning and vacation. Normal work will also be in the mix.
I did my first ever stockpile sale last weekend and made $270! I know it’s not nearly as much as some people make, but I was happy with it haha
That’s amazing Heather! Congratulations 👏👏👏
Hi, Jodi! Just wanted to mention that you can trim the roots of the pothos to give them some space until you get another pot. It won’t harm the plant, and they will grow back. 😁
Thank you Stacy. Yes that’s what I should have done. I’ve never trimmed roots before so makes me a little nervous 😂
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 Totally understand! I was nervous the first time I tried it. And I know how much you love your pothos and don’t want anything to happen to them! They are so beautiful, and I wouldn’t want anything to happen to them either! The two I have are just basic pothos. I had never seen other varieties until you showed yours on your channel. But the root trimming really did help mine perk up and didn’t negatively affect them in any way. Anyway, I hope you have a great week, and I hope the weather cooperates so that you can get some outside work completed! 😊
I keep sending you pictures of my surprise peony plants, so I am so excited about the huge peony bushes in your daughter's yard. I am so jealous. I will be following for the transplant of the bush of course. I am excited! Beautiful. I recently got to new plants on me and my husband's recent trip to Indiana. I have a new beautiful swiss cheese plant and a polka dot plant. I would post pictures here if I could. I need to repot them. But they are in isolation and had been watered recently. So I will do that when they are ready water. I need new potting soil. I think my bag has been invaded by gnats! Ugh Plus I have noticed two plants I recently potted from my propogation station have gnats. I think I used that soil from the infested bag. So I have to repot those. I had to stress them again!
My new knee is finally allowing me to get some gardening done. I added a big haul of perennials and zinnia seed and impatient plants to my garden. I did have to go back to the nursery since I forgot to get a lantana for a pot I usually keep one in! But I'm done planting and now will just admire, water, and feed the garden! Enjoy your day!
Pat I’m so happy to hear your new knee is healing nicely and you’ve been doing some gardening ❤️❤️
Hi Jodi, yes you can take half of the peonies and transplant. The 3 i have were dug up from my son's and brought here. They may not bloom the first year though. Keep Clark from peeing on them because that will kill them. I know this from experience. We dug up and transplanted spring and summer and the survived. Good luck and God bless.
Hey!! 😊 I just finished my 1st stockpile sale of the season last weekend, did it for 4 days (plus I sell other things like clearance items and tons of food things we coupon like cereal, crackers, etc) and did my best yet. Almost 4K!! Crazy but now I'm cleaning up my basement from the mess! 😅
Also, I thought to say that all my house plants I put on my front porch in summer weather. They all thrive!! They get bigger, dark, more robust all around and bring them back in right around school starting time. Oh and we are in school one more week 😢and I'm thankful for not so early morning and packing lunches😂
Yay Nicki congratulations that is so exciting ❤️❤️
I have two peony Plants love them. I put wooden chairs with a hole in the seat for the plant to grow through so they make the cushion. There is a video on this in my channel.
Love to see your coupon stockpile! I’ve learned EVERYTHING from you- so grateful!! ❤ and I have a whole room for my stockpile now! Couponing is a blessing!! I provide products for multiple households as well and donate! Haven’t built up the courage for a stockpile sale yet but I think I will do one this year and see how it goes!
Love your stockpile videos Jodie. Such a great mother looking after your Daughter with Nappies for your grandghildren😊
Thank you ❤️
I'm sorry about all of the gardening troubles you've had Jodie 😢. It must be very frustrating after all of your hard work!!! Hopefully the plants will get better ❤
You should propogate some of the Peonies. in the interim. This is a great time of year to propogate.
My daughter graduated college on May 11th
Congratulations to your daughter ❤❤❤
New to your Chanel. Shout out from Remi from RemiClog. Would love to start couponing but being from Montreal Canada it's not a thing. Remi said you have a contagious laugh.Looking forward to watching more of you. 👍
Sorry for the troubles with your plants. I wish we had couponing like the States does.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 YAY! I've been waiting to see the stockpile of goodies get organized again! I used to work at Walgreens before the Pandemic 😂😂
Aw, I’m so sorry about the plant pests, Jodi. You are such a caring person & I know your plants will thrive now with your care! 🪴I loved seeing your basement clean-up too! 🎉
Thank you so much ❤️
It is so frustrating when the pests get at your plants! I had that happen last year on my outdoor hybiscus. It was horrible! Now this year, my tree has some sort of scab problem and, we need to treat that! It is a never ending battle! I have tried to transplant peonies without sucess. Sorry. I do know that my neighbor had sucess so, I think it is worth a try! Have a great Week!
Your plants will thank you for your loving care❤
I hope so. Thanks Sarah ❤️
My first time here. I used to be extreme couponing. It’s addictive and I love it but ran out of room so I took a break.
Hi Leeanne 🤗
Yes taking a break is great ❤️
Hope your plants are ok love your channel
Thank you Sharron 🤗
30:16 we have the same peonies at the house I’m renting at. :) we have roses as well but I don’t know what kind, and only one bush came back this year, the landlord must have sprayed too much killer or cut it too short.
Hi Jodi
I keep thinking you do so well with your plants, because of your infectious laughter and how you gush over them and give them amazing compliments. ❤😊
Awe thank you Carrie ❤️
I love you organizing the stock pile. I get excited about your plants. Our schools are out in WVa. And it is such a joy listening to the children play. Awesome video 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Yes the buds will bloom wonderfully.
You really have picked up alot of plant info! I have never heard of Thrips. I know I make a mixture of water and hydrogen perxiode to kill fungus gnats when I bring my plants in from being outside all summer. Thank you for teaching me something I didnt know about.
Susan I hope you never get them
Hi, Jodi! Bad insects are the worst! I used to have lots of indoor plants until the dreaded aphids got to them. They killed some of my plants. I stopped bringing in plants for a long tome. Now I have one green leaf plant that was part of my large boyfriend’s original plant. It is thriving. I almost lost it to those bitter cold freeze we had in Michigan this past January when my furnace went out. No heat for 3 days. But it has come back! Good luck on your fight! Hugs to all! 👍🌹🥰💜
Sharon that’s just so sad! I’m sorry. I’m glad your one made it through the cold. What a pain to have the furnace break 🤦♀️
My kids Grandma had me help dig up some peonies she had in this one bed, and had me bring some home. I got my first peonie bloom this year! It is simple to transplant, but takes 3 years for them to bloom in the new spot. The first year they were barely anything, last year a couple feet tall but no buds, and this year 3' tall and 1 bloom. 😊 Not sure if you buy them rather than just split some off Grayson's if it would be less time because they are just getting sunk in the dirt they were in the pot at the store or if they just don't like any movement. But the peonies are so pretty! Mine didnt last a week, but we had some really bad wind that banged up the bloom.
I don’t think I’ll get any blooms on the one I just planted just because of the time of year. Maybe but I’m doubtful. It depends on how many “eyes” they have when you transplant them if you’ll get blooms the first year or not. Next year you’ll probably have a whole bunch of blooms 😍
Since my husband retired in November, I’ve been watching tons of budgeting and cash stuffing videos. Your channel is the only one I watch that’s not budget related! 😁
Now that I basically know what I’m doing, I will check out your couponing videos! We are on the path to have our house paid off in 2026 so I’m all about saving money!
That’s incredible Lisa 👏👏👏
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 thank you! 🙂
You can actually biy nematodes to get rid of the tripse! Worked really good for me.
A regular peony I have never had issues transplanting. I got a fern peony and that one is more difficult but after so many years it finally is huge and full of flowers.
Yay I’m so glad it’s full of flowers now ❤️
Your backyard looks so good, since you removed all of the leaves. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Have a great week Jodi!
That pink plant you have I have also, mine climbs up the window. I took it outside last year and it got super dark and it started to drape..
Where we live on a farm and I like to keep several of my indoor plants outside I always keep several bottles of Maggie farms 4 in 1 spray on hand! It will take care of those bug problems!! They sell it at Walmart in the lawn and Garden section, I already bought a fresh bottle this year. My 20 year old ZZ plant was infested with ants and it tookm care of the problem ASAP. It's the best, and safe for use around pets!!
Thanks Ash ❤️
Hey Jodi!! I was born and grew up in Michigan but I have been living in Montana for a few years and this last month me and my husband moved to phoenix Arizona!!! The apartment we moved into looked nice at first but now that we’ve been digging a little deeper with the cleaning we discovered cockroach nests and their poop everywhere like behind the oven:( and I’ve been watching you for a few years so I knew that in order to clean all of this I needed to listen to you in the background 😂 you give me such great motivation and I love how accepting you are of people in different situations. You have a very soothing voice!! Thank you for helping me more than you know. I didn’t grow up having a mom and I like to follow moms online cheering me on!! It comforts me greatly 🤍
Alliana I’m sorry you are dealing that with. You’ll get it all cleaned up and I’m so happy I could keep company 🤗🤗❤️❤️
Also, clip the buds because they have a very short bloom period but I am not sure if they are like roses where you deadhead them and they grow more.
Jodi you are such a good plant 🪴 momma you do a great job I can not believe you are new at this planting business sending good plant 🪴 vibes
Thank you so much Sharon ❤️
There was a gentleman in front of me at CVS one Sunday while I was couponing. I like to go when CVS opens Sunday morning because I can wander and math check and be alone. Anyway, he spent almost $200 out of pocket. I almost died 😂 my favorite cashier coupons as well and we both were floored. Walmart is open at six a.m. He could have saved at least 20% just by not shopping at CVS 😂
Wow that is crazy 😳
Luv it
Welp, laying low this week w COVID. Went on a wonderful trip to the DR with 4 friends.....and 4/5 came home +. Yuck! BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! lol
Love seeing your stock pile
Love the video. Love the plants. Trying to learn more on couponing. I have subscribed to your channel for that. God Bless and have a great week. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for sharing i do watch some of yours coupons ❤❤❤❤
I love seeing your plants and flowers. Sorry about the plant troubles. I’m hoping they do well and you don’t find anymore harmful critters.
Thank you Julie 🤗
I love an organizing video Jodi! Hello from Canada.
Thanks for watching 🤗
I really need to get back to couponing. Just haven’t had the energy! Love how your shelves turned out and very sorry about the flowers!
Jodi!!! You have a shopping cart to go with your stockpile and I am absolutely here for it!!! Also i love that your grandkids get to play shopping with it. and the mini one.
Yes they just love it. Got the bigger shopping cart used when my girls were little so that thing has gotten lots of play time ❤️
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 IT'S FANTASTIC. I would play with it myself If I was shopping in your store lol. so fun. You're just missing one of those shpping baskets they have a the store for small shops. SO great.
Really hoping your lovely plants get better and begin to thrive.
Thank you ❤️
Your flowers are beautiful!!
Thank you Jackie ❤️
Your plants are so beautiful, You are doing an incredible job.
Thank you Brenda 🤗
Oh sis 😮 sorry about the pests, you’ve been taking such good care.. praying they all survive!
Thank you ❤️
I got a plant heat mat to get my zinnias to germinate, worked like a charm. Its cheap, not so expensive like grow lights and easy to store.
Hoping your beautiful plants get to feeling better. Hope your hard work saves them
Thank you ❤️
Hi Jody 👋. I hope your plants 🪴 make it. 😊❤
Thank you Irene ❤️
I hope your plants get better. I love house plants but light is limited in my house. The east windows are covered by the patio cover and the living room and kitchen on the west are covered by the carport. And with temps now in triple digits, houseplants don't want to go outside. I had such a green thumb back east. Not here in the southwest. Except for aloe.
Oh what a bummer. Yes when you don’t have good light definitely makes it hard to have plants
Hi Jodi, love all of your videos! So sorry about your Thrips! I suffered from a thrip infestation last year! I sadly had to get rid of over 40 plants! I cried! Good luck to you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Oh no! I would cry too. So sorry you went through that. For some reason I thought I would deal with any pest since I don’t have a lot.
Use tomato cages for your peonies.
Peonies are my absolute favorite flower! My grandfather had a whole row of gorgeous white ones in PA. I was happy to find out they can grow here in VA too. I ordered mine online. They came as a root that I had to soak and put in the ground in early fall. Sure enough it popped out in spring. We want to move and I am thinking of digging them up when we do since not huge bushes.
I would take it too if I was moving 😂
I transplanted Iowa peonies to GA. They survived & are gorgeous. Changing zones was the hard part, but they made it!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing Judy ❤️
Aw I hope you can get rid of them. That really is a lot of work to repot so I just hope the plants will be ok. 💐Those peonies are stunning!!!💗💗💗
I hope so 🤞
I divided my peonie in the fall , no issues and it was really good for both of the plants
Thanks for sharing Joan ❤️
My daughter does the same with my stock pile. She sends me a list every week. Oh man your plants
I lost a snow ball bush 2 yrs ago. It had just started blooming after waiting couple yrs and aphids got it.
Stupid aphids!! So sorry you lost it Michelle
Ive had a peony plant that i jave moved over the years to 4 different spots. You should see how beautiful this thing is. I think they're pretty hardy or at least mine is. The rain is relentless this year! Uggh.
OMG- those peonies!! Yes, transplant in fall. They’ll do fine!!
Vicky I sure hope so. It’s so so pretty 😍
I have a puppy who like to go in between my legs to....but u can also put cups or other plant pots on top on of them when u know it's going to rain...so the roots get water but not the actual plant..
I'm still trying to uncover my perennial bed, buried in weeds. Two years neglect in Georgia, not a good thing. I so enjoy your videos. You're so normal! The best! I have used systemic treatments for roses. It works great! I don't know that I'd worry about repotting. The poison usually does the trick. Hope everything is soon doing well.
Good luck Terry. You’ll get it cleared it out and I’m cheering you on ❤️❤️
I'm glad you're back inside! No offense!
I escaped a couple days last week and was able to get some weeding done! Its a bit of a pain to sit and weed, but at least I got outside. Graduation was Sunday! My youngest has been off since Christmas, but the actual ceremony was Sunday, I think most kids got off just before or just after Memorial Day.
I had 25 houseplants and lost them all to spider mites😥 Yes, I cried! Plants are beautiful but such hard work and it seems when one gets infested they all do. Hope you have better results with yours. Peonies are my favorite flowers nothing lovlier! My childhood home had pink peonies growing along white picket fence so gorgeous!
Oh no Tammy. That’s so sad. I was really hoping since the one that had thrips was not near any others it wouldn’t have spread 🤦♀️
Coupons & houseplants.. my two favorite topics! Ughh thrips are the worst! After getting one outbreak under control, I refuse to put any of my houseplants outside. I'm terrified of bringing in more pests. Also, check your fresh cut flowers & any veggies you bring in. Your Thai constellations are looking good! It's hard to believe they used to cost hundreds or thousands a few years ago.
Amy I was so upset finding the thrips!! And putting them outside was a terrible idea 😂
But it’s weird because when I bought the diffenbachia she lived outside on my porch from June to October and I had no issues 🤷♀️
Those bugs are such a bummer, I hope they disappear forever. I'm sure your plants will be ok
I hope so too Marlene
A friend of mine transplanted peonies from my yard to hers and they survived just fine.
Yay thanks for sharing that Sue ❤️
Hello, Jodi. Try to use some yellow stick and see it will help. These yellow sticks can catch a lot of little bugs. I am not sure they will work on your plants or not, but they are not expensive and temu is selling these. You can give it a try.
Saw them on Amazon never tried but interesting.
I get gnats on my indoor plants at work. I use insecticide soap.
Okay friend. When you bring in new plants into home treat the plants.
Be careful putting indoor plants outside. They can get upset about temperature change and even leaves can get burnt.
Wildlife and other insects.
Hi Jodi 👋 waiting for commercial to finish. Then I'll watch. Ok. I'm back...
Quite a good cleanup in "the store"...
Yes rainy / stormy weather can put a big crimp in gardening plans. But...you got to do indoor gardening tasks instead, so that's something!
Future option for that south facing window. Go outside with a mirror and have 1 of your girls be in the location where the plants needed the sun. While you are outside angle the mirror so the light bouncing off it goes into that spot where the plants were & have your daughter take a picture of you & your mirror angle/ location. Then get a few garden mirrors or mirror balls to place in that location during the tree shading times of the year. That reflected light will allow you to keep your plants where you want them.
Those leaf damages are called sun scald. Try a "shade cloth" over them during the most intense sunlight of the day.
Always keep a few larger pots on hand that are the next size up or same size for splitting like with the photos. Think gardening stockpile preparation.
You're doing what you can plant mama. You got this!
Hi Edie 🤗
Thanks for always showing up to my videos ❤️
I enjoy your videos. My focus this week is mainly maintaining basic chores and health moments... I believe they call it self care these days.
I've been out doing 4 of the last 5 days and I haven't been able to do that in a long time so there's extra "recovery" time involved. I've also figured out how much muscle mass & energy I've lost over the past few years so I'm instigating a new improvement add on. Lol. I now have someone I can walk with once a week. So far. . . Only a block but improvement is improvement. 😂@@jodidunnmymessylife1847
Our oldest son and family our only grandkids moved away 10 hours away so that is going to be an adjustment for our family son went down a few months early to get settled and get a home
oh em gee Jodi, if you feel like donating the rain we in AZ will take it LOL🤣😜🤪
Watching your video and getting my ironing done....
it felt therapeutic LOL😝
yeah it takes an effort to stop myself from approaching a stranger and sharing a couponing tip...when I see someone pay full price I usually turn and go another direction so I don't stare like a crazy!!
GD right 😂😂😂
I am with you on seeing people paying full price and not having an account for that store..
Right Lea!
Zinnias you can direct sow. 😃
Yes you sure can ❤️
Oh the poor flowers. I am so sorry but yeah try dumping in the yard in a spot you would like flowers cause for sure they just might take off
My mom had beautiful peonies. She said they need to be very shallow in the dirt over the roots
Yes no more than an inch of dirt over the crown 😊
I’ve had great success moving peonies. Actually I’ve moved 1 a couple of times in the past 16 yrs. Or so. I have 3. Actually they were my husbands granny. They are old. I knw there over 30 yrs. Old.
That’s great to hear! Thanks for sharing LeAnn 🤗
Once on one goes to all plants 😞. Hope you have success with removing them. Use I little dawn soapy water on leaves
I hope I can get rid of the stupid pests 🤞
It's better to pick the buds early and they open in the house ,no ants 😊
Spray soapy water on your plant. That should kill the bugs. Hugs from Ontario.
I did. That’s what Castile soap is ❤️
Maintaining your store would be my dream come true 😅 Maybe I should volunteer on a drugstore? 🤔
I once had „jumping fleas“, no idea how they are called in english. They came with the soil and moved to all my plants till I discovered them, I was nearly crying. Took some time to get rid of all of them, I hope your pests leave quicker 🤞🏻
Oh my gosh it’s such a pain when the plant get pest 🤦♀️
Miracle-Gro is full of fungus gnats :( Not a good potting soil to use.
❤🎉🙏🏻🙌
Thrips.... Grrrrrrrr
I know!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
My 17 yr old her school yr ends on June 20th
Oh wow that seems late
Where did you get your shelves? I really want those for my laundry stuff!
Walmart a couple years ago 😊
😩 your poor plants! My hostas have been all munched up by the bunnies this year. Those are my only plants in the actual ground, everything else is in a pot and out of their reach 🙄
Good lord, plants getting sick are like children. Separate or it goes through the whole house 😂😂
Right 😂
Can you ever coupon for pots?
No but that would be awesome
I had some of these and a master gardener told me they come in on bouquets, and fruits and veggies! Im sorry they hit you this bad. I know you adore your new hobby, hopefully they are all gone now.
Thank you Lyn 🤗 I took it harder than I probably should have. Hopefully I can get them all pest free quickly
