A little hint to help plants survive transplanting: Soak the plants in a basin, kids wading pool or something and let them all get a good, long drink. Dig a little wider and deeper than the root ball, throw some mulch and fertilizer into the hole and then water deeply. Then put the plants in and gently but firmly press the soil around them. Water the topsoil and then mulch.
It also helps to form the surrounding soil into a little "wall" around the roots of the plant, so when you water the water won't just run away from the plant.
Yeah ditto, let's us viewers support the good DIWife couple to get some hands on training with a guest horticulturalist. They definitely need to learn more about how to plant. Those plants aren't rocks. Think of the savings in plants, and they'll love gardening eventually. All gardeners can vouch for it getting under your skin and overtaking down time coz it's enjoyable, relaxing and REWARDING. cheers to all
I was about to say the same thing. I soak mine in five-gallon buckets until all the air bubbles stop.
I did that with Mums & they are still alive & colorful after a month!
How you placed them before you planted them is the way to do it. Remember to tease the roots when you take the plant out of the pot. Make sure you water the new plants until they are established. Get the kids involved. Good luck!
Lowe’s should be a sponsor by now! 😄
You guys should be paid by Lowes. I’m not the first one saying this…. 😂
DIY husband those pots are better than lifting that saw. I laugh every time she tells you “I need the saw”. You guys are so much fun to watch.
I’m an avid Gardner. Just a couple of tips for future planting. It makes the plants establish roots growth to use Espoma starter fertilizer. When the ground is that dry you should put water in the hole before you put dirt in then be sure to tamp the dirt in to not have pockets of air. All in all I love the selection of plants. Makes that space look amazing. Good job!
I love Espoma products too! I use a lot of their different fertilizers 😊
Nice to see. We in Wisconsin are wacking our hostas, draining our hoses, mowing one more time and turning outside spigots off. Actually, we hardy souls are looking forward to winter.
You speak the truth. Tomorrow the birdbaths and yard decor all gets cleaned off and packed away until May…..
Lowe's needs to sponsor all your videos!
My uncle always wets the dirt before he digs the holes for the plants because he says it makes it easier to dig the hole and put the plants in. I love the plants you picked ...
Lowe's need to come through with sponsorship for you guys
You guys sure do have a lot of fun with your projects. Isn't that what it's all about?...enjoy the journey! 💚😊💚
You need flowers!! Iris’ are fabulous minimum care. Asiatic Lillie’s are also gorgeous. Minimum care. My whole back yard is perennials. Gorgeous!
So happy to see you two doing this together ... (Dean always be kind to this special lady 🙂)
Awww my DIY wife and non handy husband. They are so adorbs
Nice, quiet blower. Yay you!
good eye, Andrea nice job to the both of you!
I love the humor of this young man👍
You guys nailed the thumbnail pic! 😍😂
Looks great love the plants you picked y'all have a beautiful home I think your shutters on the house would look great a deep wine color or a dark green and make the plants stand out more .
You two crack me up! The front yard looks amazing and you both did a great job on the plants. Two videos next week? Yippee!! I look forward to watching and especially I can't wait for the lighting on the house.
Beautiful landscapes .
As dry as your soil is when planting fill the hole with water. It is going to add great curb appeal to the front of your home. Kudos to you both. Videos are always entertaining. Great job..😊
My almost teenage son has a very similar personality and activeness as Dean, it gives me such hope he can find a future wife that can be so compatible and complimentary to his energy level as DIY Wife! 😂
Love the landscape design and your plant selection. Please saturate your new plants and flower beds with water because some of your root balls appeared to be dry. Then your drip irrigation will have a great start. Add some starter fertilizer so plants have established root system before we have a freeze. Dean you will need to dig up the crepe myrtle roots. Just trust me on this one. You can plant the roots out back and next year you will a free beautiful crepe myrtle. Fun video. Thanks see you next week.
Heads up for next time black mulch holds heat and might not be great for your plants in the hot Texas summers.
It wouldn't be a D.I.Y Wife video without Dean lifting something heavy. You guy's are to funny. Can't wait for next weeks twofer.
I love when he did a flip and crashed. He actually shared the oops. They are so cute...the whole family.
😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😅😅😅😮😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the thumbnail! 😂
I came across your channel, and I’m glad I did. You two are hilarious 😂. Loved the video❤
Your front yard look sou beautiful and invited , thank you very much to share🥰
Though it can be expensive the best thing for front yard is to remove some trees. You can't believe how much damage that is overtime to homes, pipes underground lines keeping everything wet the chance of branches breaking off and hitting the house! Trees are just a mess get some light in that front yard dry everything up. Good job, guys!❤
Per usual, she shoots, she scores.
❤️ 👀 watching 👀 the two of you...
(NEVER a dull moment ❤️ )
Tip when u put the plants into the ground crumble the bottom just a lil bit to brake the soil n it meshes with the ground soil better so when u water the roots attaches other then that ur doing grate girly ❤❤❤
Dean and Andrea .. incredible work ethics on display.
I really enjoy your videos , it's always funny and nice. Thanks for that !
You two don't mind hard work. Digging into our Nv. dirt is a major challenge!!! Caliche!!!
❤ the new front door along with the new landscaping.
Look forward to your videos each week.
the leaves are great under mulch! the front beds look great!
Your shutters would look so pretty painted a dark brown like the front door and mulch 💚
Omgosh, you guys are my favorite. Hilarious!!! You guys are my “GoTo”
Beautiful job!
I just love this house , are you two planning on keeping it as a forever home I like what you did to the inside and now the out side I'm sure going to be just as nice .
Great job! Everything looks great! One word of advice is to always add bio tone fertilizer when plating. It really helps establish the roots. 😃
i *love* this channel
Looks great! Really like that you have an irrigation system to help you water and saves time! Always fun watching you two…until next week!
all the way from 🇬🇧 United Kingdom finally I was going into withdrawal symptoms I’m so addicted to your channel
Amazing work! Thank you for this video. I want to start planting in my front yard and taking in as much as I can.
i'm soo excited for these new videos :))
I laughed at the front pic of this video. Depicting the Anerican Ghotic painting. :D Dean you are very clever.
Looks so good 👍
Your yard looks renewed and beautiful.
You might try using landscape staples to hold your drip lines in place. They have them at Lowes. I love the variety of plants you choose. Beautiful!
I love watching your channel you do a great job on your projects and you two are funny.🤣
What an inspiring and practical for anyone looking to elevate their curb appeal. The flower bed design ideas shared in the video were not only visually appealing but also accessible for DIY enthusiasts. The transformation showcased in the front yard makeover proves that with a bit of creativity, even the most lackluster spaces can be turned into vibrant, welcoming areas.
Can I just say how much I love playful Dean? These videos are always so lighthearted. I'm still a young adult but already I feel the pressure to be quiet and fit into the norm, to not catch any attention especially as a girl / woman. So next time I'll have a little shopping cart race or dance to the music in the supermarket I won't feel ashamed anymore😊in these times, everyone needs to have these small moments of joy or we'll all go insane. So I hope everyone had a great day. And if not, there will always be a new day to start over or just reset. Also you're not alone!🥰
Advice from a NOT so YOUNG ADULT, If you want to sing or dance, enjoy yourself, dont let the presence of strangers strangle your fun (dont let anybody spoil you fun). I bounce around on space hoppers., sing, dance, etc
I dont know these people. I'm not hurting anyone, and it brightens their day too.
As usual, I enjoyed watching you so so so muchhh!!!!! I love seeing u messing with each other 🤣🤣
You guys are so funny. Good job on the Front yard. Love the Mummies by the Front Door. Looking good🥰👍😎
You guys did a great job, it looks amazing.
Looks awesome👌
Always an enjoyable watch, you guys are great! Always makes me smile watching you work together
OK hon I can see by the comments you have a lot of people giving you tips and advice… But I have been an exterior decorator and designer for 20 years and I’m leaving you this message after having major surgery and being in major pain, so please know it’s only because I am watching your video and I want to see you succeed with the area in front of your house and give you the best advice I can to have them thrive. So for starters the best thing you could do is get some landscaping spray paint which would be a canvas raise at the top not at the side it’s usually orange sometimes red yellow either way it goes away. Read the tags on each one of your plants and you can do this now even though you planted them. Do you want to read the tag and you want to draw out a circle in your planting area of how big they’re going to get so how wide they’re going to get so then you’ll have the big circles of how wide they’re going to get. Then in the circle for each plant use the landscaping paint and write the number of the height they’re going to get so then you’ll have a why they’re gonna grow and then in the center of the number of how tall are gonna grow. That will tell you where to place your plants and how far apart you need to place them even though in the beginning it’s going to look sparse They’re not gonna die off because they don’t have the room to grow and they’re not so close that one is growing or taking all the nutrition to try to grow to the size it’s supposed to grow and therefore killing off some of the others. Then you need to address your soil, Your soil is hard and it’s gray which means it doesn’t have any nutritions in it. So you need to get a really good starter plant fertilization as well as if I was you I would get some good topsoil and I would till it into the ground to break up that hard soil and get some better soil mixed in with that hard grey rocky soil, so I do that first and then once you have all your circles drawn out and you know how tall your plants are gonna get you said the plants that I can get the tallest in the back on the circles of their size and then you layer them forward the shorter they’re going to get and if you don’t want to and topsoil to the whole garden at least put some good soil in the hole and take the soil you have and fill up a bucket or something with it and get rid of it then before you plant your plants put in a good quality starter plant fertilization because your plant is only as good as the soil you plant in what you add to it and how well the roots do even if the tops don’t look great if those routes are establishing correctly then you’re gonna have a happier healthier plant that will last longer or will grow strong enough to withstand Extreme weather stream storms etc. so you really want to work on mapping it out first and know that where you’re setting your plants they’re not too close together it’s far enough apart but they’re going to grow in and not overcrowd each other and that you’re not putting ones in the front that are going to over grow in the height and you’re not gonna see the ones in the back so if you map it out the way I said and like I said the best way that we do it As a designer is with landscaping paint is that where you get your circumference how big it’s gonna get when it’s grown and you get how tall it’s gonna grow as your number on the inside like 4 feet 5feet 2 feet or whatever it might be. Then you need to amend that soil even if you’re just putting some soil in each hole and pulling out some of your own basically dead soil the color and texture of your soil it’s dead there’s no nutrition to feed those brand new plants. Then each hole add a starter fertilizer! If you follow these instructions you’re going to have a better chance of your plants roots spreading out and taking hold and there for giving you a better result in the end. The biggest problem people have is your such a large area and if you set them out the way they’re going to grow my size it’s still gonna look sparse to you But that’s normal because they’re only starter plants but as they grow they’re going to grow and look great so you just have to live with that look for a small amount of time. And then you want to make sure you water them in immediately and you will not have air pockets like some people have mentioned if you take out some of your soil add a good topsoil then a good starter plant fertilizer at that when you can add some water to the hole if you want or you can plant them and pack them in not too tight but you don’t want air and then just water them all in really really well the first time right after you’re done. And then if you’re having a really warm spell make sure they get watered daily in the morning or at night and then as the weather changes if you’re getting a good amount of rain they’re going to get what they need if you’re not then have them watered periodically just less watering in the winter because that’s when they’re going to go dormant. You also want to keep the tags and maybe put them somehow right where the plants are in the ground or on a steak or something and write on it when they’re supposed to come out and grow so if they are spring bloomers or summer bloomers or fall bloomers you’ll know and if the plant looks dead on the top but yet they’re not supposed to bloom until late summer you won’t pull them out because you think they’re dead. So if you write down the stuff that I’ve told you and follow it you’re going to have so much more success with that area and any area so that is the advice of a exterior decorator designer for over 20 years and those really are the basics. I know it’s long but I have to speak this because I just had major surgery and I can’t type. I just want you to have a great experience help your plants have a great experience and for you love your garden for many many years to come especially with all the hard work. God bless and happy growing, both in knowledge and in your front garden space😉❌❤️❣️❣️❣️
So pretty. It looks so nice, and makes your home look nice.
You two are adorable, love your videos.
Good job!!!! Trial and error is almost all of our landscaping and DIY chores. Then you go to RUclips and find someone to learn from. Even with experience things fail. After losing our dogs to old age we are being infested with deer. They have eaten every new plant and landscaping efforts I have installed this year after a hard freeze. Even in Oregon we are experiencing a new climate and planting zone. It is always a challenge to be met.
So pleasing to see the mulch at the end - looks great!
Hi I am Bob I and really like your vids keep up the good work you are really clever but you definitely need more plants
When you plant loosen the bottom so the roots can spread out. Beautiful job again.
Very nice. Yes, TX weather.
Love you guys,Dean you are so funny,Andrea you are so late back about it all, just love it all. I have to watch you all the time.all the best,Miriam🎉
Dear Andrea, There is actually a lot to planting and maintaining plants. I had no idea until I went to a Master Gardening class and became a Master Gardener. If you call your Master Gardening Association, (would be good ground work for your husband) and explain to them you are a RUclipsr and you need their help, I'm sure they would send a team of experts out to help you. And it's free. We don't charge. We are to help and educate the community. I loved the program so much I am now a MG in Oregon, Washington and California. Good Luck
Awesome team work 💯👏🏼🫶🏼✌🏼🙋🏼♀️
You both are so funny, that’s a compliment btw :) I hope Lowes sponsors you! :) Beautiful home & yard.
Looks beautiful!
Also, after planting spread some cow manure around your plants. In your beautiful pots get some red Angel Wing begonias. They get very big & last a long time. You need color. Good luck.
Beautiful nicely done, look forward to next weeks videos.🌞🌷🌹🌼🌻🌺
This is where I come for my daily dose of laughter and inspiration. You two are an amazing team. Thanks for taking us along.🥰
Amazing. Your front yard came out beautiful !!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Love you guys!! Looks great!
You guys are amazing, making me laught during the whole video, and you did a great job as always!
I also learned about using drip. I love it. That plant bill must have been expensive.
You had me at Texas ❤🌿👍
Great job. Looks great!
I love the colors of your home!! Would you mind sharing the shutter color with me? 🙏🏻
Take a little time, and watch some back videos of Garden Answers..Laura is about your age, and is awesome with her youtube and helps wonderfully with how to's....when it come to planting. Fertilizers is always a great need for plants to help them and if you must water...especially when first planted. Also, look for an accent item for the bed...a large rock, a hunk of wood, a large colorful wind spinner, or crock, birdbath, etc. It looks awesome good job.
Looks great! Love the new door too!
Fun! I was going to say it would be great to see you tackle the entry next...you all always go above and beyond. Hope it came together well. Looking forward to the videos 🥰👍
You guys are awesome! Love you both! ❤
If you add a simple timer to your tap it will water automatically ❤️✨
Looks awesome. Love the new door 💕
YOU TWO KIDS ARE AWESOME!!!
🌞🌻🌞
I was wondering when you’d get to the yards, you have a nice big space and I know you can make it look fabulous.
I alwys use a crap load of mulch cause I like mine mounted and fluffy! I was like your gonna need a double load as you guys were counting bags at store! Lol.
It looks beautiful
First off you guys, we have our house here in GA painted the SAME colors as yours! haha I love painted brick! But the landscaping turned out beautiful!! We have the pea gravel like you do too, although ours is in a flower bed because we have a 4 foot over hang, so nothing grows. Love all the plants you picked out, and those pots with the mums! I love them! Fall is my favorite time of year! Good job, it looks beautiful!❤
Dean - "I threw my bucket across the yard, u threw your bucket on my head. What does that mean?"
Andrea - "I have better aim!"😅😅😅
Love love love all your videos!!!!!
Great job guys so beautiful… teamwork ❤️
I love these guys.
Great job, you guys!! I’m in Texas, too, and the weather hasn’t been kind to my plants, either, so I’m hoping to replace them soon now that it’s cool. Thanks for the motivation!!🌳🌸🌳
Love your content and I am sure you are busy with all the projects you do and raising a family. Gentle suggestion - plant native plants. The benefits are too numerous to mention but the main one is that you don't have to water much for some of our great Texas natives. Check your local Native Plant Society club as they have regular plant sales at great prices. Also, insects prefer native plants which helps you have a healthy ecosystem which helps with keeping plants healthy...so less work for you and no need for chemicals. Edited to add....Your main plantings will get large so you can "fill in" with other plants - herbs, annuals, perennial flowers - just to make up the difference. As the large plants grow, reduce the inter-plantings. Also, you can usually dig up a plant and move it if you find things are getting too big so nothing is set in stone! So enjoy!
Wow it looks great 👍
Amazing job you guys ❤
So pretty! 😍😍 Great job, sweeties! 😍
