    About the zig zag planter. Because your house is so long and straight I think once you get it planted it will add a lot of character to a long and straight house. I also think once you add your touch it will become a very nice focal point ! 🌺💚🙃

    Oh my goodness the ending was priceless! Jason out there in the dark, still working on those garden beds and your laughter when he said he was done is so cute! I really like your videos because you are real and down to earth (no pun intended) There are so many RUclips garden people who are in fancy clothes with perfect hair and nails and that is not gardening. I can just imagine once you get your puppy that it will happily run through the raised garden with your daughters. Sending lots of joy to you :)

    Some people don’t have all of the “ right “ equipment to start seeds, so you showing them how to when you don’t have all of the “ right “ equipment is also a valuable lesson . Many times throughout my years of gardening I’ve had to come up with solutions to not having exactly what I needed to get growing. So you thinking that this might not be the correct way to do things, is very helpful to some indeed . 🌺💚🙃

    The prefect gardening couple, great role models for 2 young girls. Speaking of girls, how was school, my grans go back Sept 5th...12th grade & 7th. I think once the beds are full, you won't have to worry about them blowing away. Nice you two even have fun laughing at each other.

You are the idea designer person and Jason is the detail person. I love watching you on this journey. It is something my husband and I would have tackled. We have been married 53 years and loved a challenge. Now I enjoy that challenge through you and Jason. Keep going!

    @lisamatson9203 Год назад +3

    Janey, i have watched your channel grow, and I’m so impressed with your character and vision and work ethic. I’ve never left a you tube comment before this one. I’m a working mom who’s obsessed with gardening and landscaping. I just have to tell you my experience with the corrugated metal beds. Please please add some support to the sides before you fill. I have 6 of those. I love them so much in every way EXCEPT they are bowing on the sides after one year. Mine sit on a very slight incline, however, a couple are bowing on the opposite side of the incline. The thin metal supports have very little effect. If I
    start over(and I think I’ll have to bc I can’t stand it), I’d use 2x4’s to stake vertically in the corners and in the middle. Even better, I’d frame the outside in wood. It looks so pretty imo.

    • @cindyfulk8853
      @cindyfulk8853 Год назад +1

      I have heard several gardeners say the same thing, that the sides bow out from the dirt settling. They usually put a 2x4 every 3-4ft vertically on the outside and a then a cap along the top all around. Looks nice with a bottom row, too. Extra time and expense, but worth it. It is something you can even do after you have filled and planted. While you wait for seeds to grow. 😉

    I think that you showed new gardeners that you don’t have to have all the fancy stuff to start seeds. That is actually great for a person who is not sure they want to spend a lot just to try seed starting for the first time. I always avoid starting seeds for years because of all the stuff people said you had to have to be successful. Thanks for the wonderful video.

  • @arladeleon3806

    @foreversettled9144 Год назад +3

    So enjoying all the details. I often use Saran wrap to start cups of things. With supply issues ongoing, your make-do when you can't find something is actually invaluable teaching for newbies and those starting with very limited gardening budgets. I am in the same stage with setting up some garden beds. You and Jason have slowed me down to get more precise in the set-up. The extra time will be so eye-pleasing when planted. You have such a quick eye for plant selection. That is going to be so pretty in the zig. Hope you can take a planning breather while the painter is working his magic. Prayers for strength and rest.

    For the garden beds you should seriously consider using drip tape instead of 1/4 inch (or in the new beds if you’ve already done these)
    Drip tape has worked so much better in straight runs like the raised beds for me (South Bay 9b) much more even watering
    Also on/off valves for each bed!

    Janie, I don’t know if you’ve installed all of the tee’s you had made or not but you could’ve had those made with the reducer coming out on each side (cross coupler)since your beds are across from one another. It would be so much less work on you and not as many cuts in your 1” tubing. Hopefully I caught you in time!
    Also I would advise putting metal clamps on wherever you have a connection. I don’t know what your water pressure is there but they blow off here if I don’t use them. I’ve learned just to do it to save myself from double work.

    Hello Janet,
    You are an absolute delight to watch , listen & learn from everyday. I look forward each morning spending time with you, Jason and the girls.
    You have taught me many things about gardening and inspired me to try new things…. Cool Gardening!
    I hope one day to meet you in person because I feel like we are already friends due to the amount of time I spend on RUclips with you.
    Love seeing your new property emerging into a gorgeous home & garden!! Very happy for y’all!😊
    I adore your happy, upbeat attitude and the way you & Jason work so well together❤
    I garden in zone 7b just outside of Atlanta, GA. Hope you get to Atlanta soon! Have a blessed day!
