It’s incredible how much your garden has changed in just one year and it is looking spectacular ❤ You are a rock star and I’m so glad you now have Jason helping you full-time. You make a great team 😊
So very true, just spectacular , colour, variety of blooms and more.😍😍👏👏👌
You don’t just have a green thumb, you have green fingers and toes! I love all your plant and color combinations❣️🇨🇦
I hope that you and Jason are able to step back and appreciate all the beauty that you have created in less than a year. The transformation is nothing less than remarkable. Your hard work and eye for design is paying off. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and love of .gardening🌸😀🇺🇸.
I think your garden looks incredible for only being a year old. You and Jason are doing a great job. I love it.
Your July front garden tour, showcasing the vibrant colors, amended soil, and effective rodent control, highlights your dedication and expertise in creating a thriving, beautiful garden. Your passion for gardening is truly inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life
Oh your zigzag planter is stunning! It looks like a ball gown flowing over the ground. 🏆
Yes I agree too just gorgeous 💐
Laura Garden Answer and you Janie are two very dedicated Gardner I have ever watched, keep it up, keep inspiring us ❤
Janey, your zig zag planter is looking STUNNING!!! We live in a valley against the north side of the rocky mountains, amending with cardboard and compost has been saving us for sure! Our soil is chock FULL of shale, iron heavy, and impossible to dig without an auger. But it's incredibly nutrient-rich, so no-dig amending for the win!
It’s amazing how much you accomplished in such a short time! So beautiful!
It doesn't seem possible that you have not been there for a year yet and that you went through two foot surgeries! Janey...you are a rock star! I live for this video each month. I'm hoping to be on your "Share your garden" video next year as I need another year to prepare. I can't wait for the backyard now. HAPPY 4TH!!
I have a gopher story for you. My MIL lived in Oklahoma City in the country. She lived alone, and as her dementia got worse, she had to leave her home and be with family in another state. She used to say she heard noises in the bathroom wall, and that her bathroom wall was almost damp. The house was vacant for several months until family put it on the market to sell. The house was cleaned and empty, and ready to sell. A young man purchased the house, and before closing, he did a final walk through with the realtor, where everything was fine. He signed the papers, got the keys and went back to the house. As he walked by the bathroom, he was shocked to see a hole in the bathroom wall with dirt all over the floor. A gopher tunneled under the house, which was built on a slab. There was not concrete around the shower drain under the tub, so he came up through the space, got inside the wall, and scratched or dug his way through the drywall and into the house. The family paid for repairs to the bathroom and the buyer agreed to get rid of the gophers. It was unbelievable, that was a very strange call to get from the realtor. And the poor buyer! I promise the story is 100% true.
Great story, thanks for sharing! 🇨🇦👏
Chinese pistache along the fence/road at the front of the property.
Privacy, stunning fall color some light dappled shade to ease the heat stress on the understory plants
Thank you for the great tour! I love following you. I live in zone 9, Alabama's Gulf Coast. We are hot, but very wet and humid. It is amazing how different the same zone can be.
Silver bush morning glory (Convolvulus cneorum) blooms once per year from spring to early summer, at the same time as your star jasmine. The rest of the year, it's a fantastic foliage plant that can withstand the most brutal heat. I grow them in here Las Vegas, where today's high will be 117! Over time, it will develop a woody understructure and deep blue-green foliage on the older parts of the plant with metallic-silver new growth frosting the tips. Your patience will be rewarded with a truly gorgeous display next year and I can't wait to see your reaction!
The progress of your garden is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! The lessons you've learned are lessons for me, too!!! Love watching your channel!!!!
Your best for the West garden is soo beautiful! I live in the Mediterranean so your channel has been so helpful and fun to see your garden grow. Unfortunately I can’t get Proven Winners plants in my country but I still get lots of ideas and inspiration 😅🌸🌸🌸
Janey, your lighter hair color looks so awesome! 🤩 These garden tours are always fun, thanks. ❤
I can't believe no one's ever mentioned it but your front yard is a leech field. The big flat Rock covers your access point to your holding tank. The last thing you ever want to do is put a watering system or sprinklers on top of your leach field or any kind of plant that has long extending roots. Just trying to warn you before your back feel your septic.
Absolutely beautiful gardens. I love seeing the progress. Get a couple "barn cats" that live outside. They are great at keeping the small animals away. My cat brought us 4 gophers this spring that he caught. They keep the squirls, bunnies, mice and gophers under control without digging massive holes ruining plants trying to get at the gophers.
WHERE'S THE MONSTER?! Did I miss it somehow... such a beautiful, colorful garden,I love watching it evolve. Great job❤
I think a circle of monster plants around the propane tank would look awesome with your colors in the zigzag planter😊
The zig zag planter is sick! I love the purple grass. The pots are beautiful, too.
Have you studied planting for sound barriers? If you plant between your road and fence, think in threes, three layers. Shortest near the sound. Mid height next then tallest next to your fence. Your happy purple fountain grasses = short. Then something a little taller for mid height, then your tallest choice. This is a technique that’s quite effective for noise reduction, allowing you freedom to plant other choices inside the fence. When you add the meandering additional pathway, consider a water trickling water feature in the crux of the joining pathways, or at least between the path and your fence. With a sound softening planting, a new fence and soft shushing water spray, trickling sounds, you could experience that part of your garden in a whole new way. Good luck.
It's all filling in so beautifully! If you want to keep the look of the red fountain grass in the zig zag planter, they do have a dwarf variety out now that might work and then they don't turn into giant monsters. I found some last year and they are perfect 😗🤌
Sending love from Stockton! We are neighbors and I’m so excited to see your journey because I literally resonate with all you’re experiencing as well! ❤
The progress is astounding!👏👏👏. A word of CAUTION…I was taking progress photos of a Robin family, and I startled the three babies right out of the nest, probably 2 days before they were to fledge. I was horrified as were the parents!😢. Not sure what became of them as they scattered across the lawn. Needless to say I will NEVER do that again! 🇨🇦🌸😢
Following along on your journey. Just a suggestion: Perhaps show a few "before" photos next to the present in order to refresh our memories from the amazing transformation from then to now? Would also be great for your newer subscribers. Just on those panoramic shots would say it all ... "picture is worth a thousand words, after-all". Loving the results of your hard work ... so inspiring!
I agree Janey about filming your garden. I started my channel for that reason, just so I could document (and save) the footage. And it's been very helpful, to refer back to.
Awwww. Robby gave you a weeping willow. You guys are so sweet!
About the Gardenmeister Fuchsia, I live 10 miles west of Dallas/ Fort Worth in hot, hot, sticky, humid Texas. And when I have put plants in a spot where they are scorching because they need a little extra shade, I cover them with these black crates I have that only allow half the sun that they've been getting till I can move them to a better location and they can stabilize more. They still get the breeze and pollinators. Maybe this can will help.
Photinia is a fast growing large full hedge that we used for a similar area, like your front fence. I used to not like them, but now I changed my mind. Bought them for convenience, and they look gorgeous amongst all the other plants, and they are incredibly hearty, get huge, prune well, etc. We pruned some into bulbous lollipop trees and they look great, too.
My mom puts umbrellas over her plants in the summer in Florida. I was thinking you could do that with the fucshia until you can move it. Your garden is so pretty, you have such good taste. Thank you for all your videos.
I think Russian sage, and a bright pink (raspberrry) verbena would be a beautiful combo in your zig-zag planter. Your garden has come a long way in such a short amount of time. ❤️
Amending soil is more important than I thought, I really need to work on that, thanks for talking about those types if issues, I learn alot from your videos very informative
Congratulations on having baby birds in your front foyer. I would ask very kindly if you would please put up a baby gate across the entrance for when the birds fledge so that Monty doesn't think they're a cute little toy
Just want to let you know that your hair looks so pretty curled like that. It also looks like you got your hair cut in layers recently. You are so pretty! And your gardens are amazing! You have a very nice family, also! Big fan of yours, SE Pennsylvania
Janey, you have done so much in less than a year and it is looking beautiful. Like you say we all have our ups and down in gardening but keep trying it's ok. I love a garden with colors, not just green.
Your Rise Up Rose is prettier than the picture!😮❤
Janey, your garden looks awesome! Question: have you considered eventually having the driveway next to the orchard and in front of the zig-zag planters removed? It seems like a lot of driveway and I bet it would look so much more natural and lush if you planned to remove that part eventually. I know cost is a consideration, but I also think you’re very good at thinking about long-term goals. You and Jason should be so proud of what you’ve already accomplished in less than a year! 😮
Gorgeous! You have a great eye for beautiful combinations! Would love to see a video showing your future plan for the center garden. Thx so much for sharing your garden journey!
Jenny your garden is so beautiful I just love it you've done a wonderful job on planting those flowers I just love it love it love it
I know you love the Zigzag planter now (as do i), just wanted to say, with the dichondra silver falls covering so much of the front, you cant even tell anyway! Anyway, it looks great 😊
Hi Janey, Robbie (via his videos) has convinced me to watch your videos. I am glad he did. I love gardening too. I am impressed with your career as a gardener. Your gardens are beautiful. I enjoy watching you and your husband work on new projects around your home.
Loved this tour Janey! Your garden is amazingly beautiful. 😊
Beautiful! It's amazing how far you have come in a year! Look forward to see the change in the next! ❤M
Janey, Your garden is filling in beautifully! I love all the saturated color. I also really appreciated you showing the difference between the composted and non-composted areas.
Your birds are called house finches. I love that you included the chicks in your tour. 💕
Your
Janey-I’ve been watching you since last year & I have learned so much from you. I’m a garden nerd who gets a notebook every year & I write down notes & observations (monthly) I also date when things start blooming, but the best thing I love is taking monthly videos. It’s excellent to look back on(also helps me remember where I’ve planted things, lol) Cheers from zone 5b Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 my hydrangeas I love!!! They will turn to a beautiful dusty rose in the Fall. But I’m jealous how long you can enjoy your garden!! Love you ❤
You are doing a great job with you garden 🙏👍👏👏👏👏👏
Bravo Janey. You’ve done an incredible amount in less than a year. Please come help me when I move to my new property in Auburn. Doing consultations yet? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
What you have accomplished in less than a year is truly inspiring! We have lived in our new house for almost 3 and it is a slow process. I love your daily videos so keep up the good work! ❤from Michigan
White Pillar rose of Sharon. - gorges. , but who sale?? And Bush Clematis “ Stand by me Lavender”. Wow.
That’s funny that the smoke bush is a fire retardant 😂❤
If you’re going to plant Oleanders , please plant on the outside of your fence, they are so poisonous to your pets. They do have beautiful flowers. Your garden looks so beautiful
Summer is busy, but did I miss your talk on the new proven winners for 2025? It's after July 1st, thought that was when you could start talking about them. I saw a couple I'm on pins and needles to learn about.
It’s amazing how 9b means different plantings around the country. In the Phoenix metro we’d NEVER have this beautiful yard!
I would love seeds from that, Janey! What a cool plant!
Janey, can’t you put a large container next to the fuchsia plant to help shade it until you decide where to move it to?!
Stunning! Beautiful tour and so informative - love it!!
Gopher suggestion: what if you cut the bottoms from the PW compostable pots, and plant the plant in the container to protect the rootball?
The zigzag planter and the front porch is amazing. All and all the front garden is beautiful ❤
Stunning Janey! I was so relieved the other day when you showed the gopher damage cause I had 3 plants including a lantana that basically came off clean at the dirt line and I was like how does one kill a lantana??? 😂 when I dug at the dirt underneath there was nothing. No roots. Now I’m convinced it wasn’t anything I did wrong it was a gopher! I’m glad to know it wasn’t me but they are so frustrating!
So beautiful enjoy seeing your garden grow.
Regarding the compost wow, just wow! Roots and Refuge just did a similar video but hers were a comparison on four Greenstalks. The ones with old amended soil were performing superiorly to the ones with brand new bagged soil. This information is so important to me, the home gardener, and I appreciate your investment AND taking the time to show us the impact of proper amending or lack of it.
Hi Janey 🌺 Your garden looks stunning with the amazing colors of it . Pratty plants and trees and you arranged them beautifully . Have awonderful day . 🌺🌻🌺
Maybe you could put some of the spikey pad things around you Dukebox plants, I think Robbie used the to stop his dogs going into certain areas for a while ( apologies if I’m saying something you’ve already thought of) 🙏🌸
Zone 9b Texas Gulf Coast here.😊 I am loving all of your gardens. Everything is BEAUTIFUL 😍 Thank you for the tour!
Beautiful garden ❤
I love your garden! Thanks so much for displaying photos of the plant tags it’s super helpful.
You talked about pulling out your purple fountain grass from the zig zag planter, can that be replanted somewhere else in your garden? It’s just so beautiful! It’s an annual for us here in south Texas zone 9b.
Awesome tour segment ❤
Beautiful and colourful 🥰🥰
Soooo much done in less than a year!!! You’re so lucky that Chip Drop comes so often. I signed up and was told 13 months was average wait time.
Tons of work and it absolutely shows. The best of the west garden is looking amazing! 👏👏👏👏 Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸
Thank you for the tour, I really enjoyed it. I will try to find the dwarf Russian Sage for my garden, it looks beautiful. 🌺🌺
The best of the west garden is absolutely stunning!
Definitely taking much inspo for your best of the west garden. Hope to find more PW abd plant that this coming fall!
The zigzag is looking magnificent !!
Nice💕💕💕💕Really wonderful video
Morning glory 🌸❤️
Janey, we had a birds nest on our front door wreath too and a neighborhood cat jumped up and knocked it off and ate them AND we caught it all on the ring camera 😅 it was awful! 😣
Wow. So beautiful. I do think the sunflower that gets 4 feet would look great on long the fence ❤
Why don’t you divide your fountain grass. You can then plant the extras in the garden.
Absolutely beautiful! I wish I could find PW here in central Florida!😎👍❤️
Watching this, it's Incredible how your garden has transformed since you moved in !!!!.Lots of hard work and you both should be so proud.Wow.
As you stand in front of the gorgeous Suncredible sunflowers border, ( my favorite view ❣) we can't see the Kniphofia border behind it anymore which is a bit of a shame as the sunflowers have grown so tall...Do you think you should move them elsewhere ... or does it not bother you that the view is obstructed? ....Either way , beauty, beauty everywhere
Wow what a transformation in such a short period. I been struggling to set up a garden layout that works. Im in zone 9b las vegas such dry hot summers/winters too. Everything is pretty much dying right now. This week we are hitting 118😢. I been able to find pw one time! A superbena and is the only plant not struggling right now lol. I am learning to play more in the garden. Love your videos
I think layers of compost will do great for your soil. I loved your front garden tour.Stay happy.❤
I love all your videos, since before you moved to the new property!! thank you!
I was wondering if it's too hot for the kitties in a cage, getting very hot, even with a fan. Most get in the grass to cool off, etc... Just a heads up.
I am also an animal lover and feed not only my own 4 pets, but 4+ outside, plus the critters that may find themselves munching on the outdoor kitty food. Possums, ground hogs, racoons and birds! And, i live in a town, not the countryside!
Best
West yes!😊 Love the colors! BIG Huggicates 😊. High five Jannie ❤!
The weeping willow is really filling out.
I live in Angwin, CA…( Napa county hills) I believe it’s Zone 9 also…I have a very small full sun garden! But the rodents are voles. They have eaten veggies, zinnias and everything I’ve planted except lavender, allium and salvia. 👎my yard is part of a larger area full of rodents so I don’t think I can kill them. I did plant a fig tree, and I do have an orange rose bush in a container…and some ageratum( lily of the Nile?) I love your yard and it’s fun to have found you❤️I did have a cat and didn’t notice the voles until she died, but my landlord says no pets, so I can’t replace her.❤️👎oh, and Shasta daisies have been growing there too….I love to add gazanias here and there for color, but the voles do eat them too….i haven’t been able to grow lantana or verbena…i dont know WHY..it just dies. It just must get too much water, because my huge lavender plants do get a lot of water.I’ve also unsuccessfully tried jasmine…don’t know what I do wrong? Maybe it’s just too hot.my apartment faces south.
Great job, bromeliad would look beautiful all year round. It would give a pop of colour, and loves hot,hot weather.
Good morning!
I love your Best for the West garden!! Next time you have an event can you get more of these plants? I need them all in my garden (zone 9b/Sunset zone 18) Southern CA!! I do have Pink Cashmere and Sparkling Amethyst, but I have got to get Raspberry!! Thank you for helping get these amazing plants to CA!!
Hi, the Gopher Hawk works really well for us.. I work at Stepping Stone Nursery in Atwater, CA (was nice meeting you at The Greenery) 😊 We use the Hawk there and at home too.. It does really well!
i just planted the serendipity allium in my garden and its doing good but hasn't bloomed yet. I'm in hot humid Cleveland, TX zone 9a! hoping to see it bloom soon! also, your garden is just stunning! what you have done in almost a year is incredible. I have been in my house almost 11 years and you have inspired me so much this year in starting my own garden.
The garden is simply beautiful!
Love the zig-zag planter colors...really cool things off in the hot weather. And those heliotrope!!
But, I also love those saturated colors...blues with oranges and that lemon coral sedum...wow!!!
I wanted to suggest a plant that I love...Agastache 'Blue Boa " combines well with all colors and has fluffy violet-blue spires that bees and butterflies just love. And the foliage smells like minty root beer. And I can smell the wonderful flowers of verbena lilacina! Another nice Salvia to try is "African Sky" with sky blue flowers and fresh green leaves...new in nurseries this year (found in New Zealand!).
Hopefully, Brian and Cruickshanks will be gopher hunters!! In San Francisco, I plant everything in gopher baskets (I buy them wholesale!)
Janey, how did your bearded iris do for you earlier this year?
Also, can you plant alstroemeria in any of your half-sun areas? Or would those work better for you in containers with drip lines?
Thank you for the tour!!! Keep cool!!!
I live in east Canada zone 3 where it rains a lot and my allium millenium and allium medusa does very well now for 5 years.
Hi Janey and Jason, I just love your channel and content! I'm in zone 7 in Virginia. I don't have a green thumb, but I am trying! We moved into a new house last year that had a forest for a backyard and was completely unattended to for 10 years! After removing trees and stumps we are trying to figure it all out (soil quality, sun patterns). It's inspiring to see how your garden has evolved! Any advice for a newbie? (I also watch Robbie and Jim Putnam!)
I'm growing an annual that's perfect for your "Black and White" garden - - Zulu Prince Daisy. White petals surround a black center with a narrow orange ring. I bought the seeds from Siskiyou Seeds and started them under lights in late winter. I moved the tiny seedlings to the garden nearly 2 month ago and they've been blooming ever since. Planted in full sun with sporadic water, they are surviving our nasty heat (Zone 9B, Davis CA). It would be great if they self seed, but I'll have to wait and see about that.
WE HAVE TO START ADD DECORATIVE LABELS 🏷
Lamb ears»- never see in the store. Florida.
