    How many holes do you think are in my jeans?! Guess here for a chance to win a $200 Etsy and $200 to a charity of your choice! - forms.gle/vwaX...
    (we've gotten a couple of comments saying the link isn't working for them, if you have your ad blocker on it wont open!! )
    You guys know that I have been focusing so much on the interior of my home this past year…but I definitely have not given the exterior much love. My backyard was not awful, but really needed an upgrade, so why not go all out right?! It is my job to make spaces pretty after all!! This is the first part to this series because I made myself so much work to do that I couldn’t fit it all into this one video. In this episode, I walk through everything I am planning to do for the exterior, fix the shutters, work on the pergola and basically start the demolition process. Not gonna lie, this is going to be a LOT of work. Stay tuned for future episodes to watch this exterior makeover finally come together!!

    I so enjoy your Making Home Series. I was wondering if TSG could find someone who needs a room decorated with an emphasis on making it work if they have physical disabilities. This has become an issue for me and I would be so interested in what you can find, that would help, but would still be aesthetically pleasing. Thank you.

    What you have in the corner courtyard area looks to be a 20 year old lilac bush. They are stunning in the late spring when they bloom and smell AMAZING. Yours is about as big as they get and they can easily be trimmed back smaller to your preference. You do you for your space, just thought you would like to know. 💐

      🌸 Whole-heartedly agree... on all of your points 🤗.
      😉Personally, I am a reluctant gardener🪴. ✂️Much better at pruning and maintenance than actually growing anything😔. 🌄 Living in a drought prone area with lots of 🪨 rocky dry clay soil, I 🎉celebrate as well as try to preserve those tough 🌱plants🌿 that are determined to thrive with minimal care & water💦 here in greater Los Angeles.
      As someone else mentioned, her adding 🌧️ a water catchment system would be a very 🌎 environmentally friendly option. It would solve some of her drainage issues too. Also allow her to use the overflow to💧water her whole garden🌲. With her creative skills 🛠️Kelsey could easily disguise a more boring and utilitarian rain barrel too.

    for the wisteria to bloom you need to cut it twice a year, pretty drastically, because otherwise all of the energie goes into the leaves. So cut all the shoots in December/January and then trim again in July/August.

    There’s actually a squirrel spray that you can spray on your lights that will prevent bulbs from being taken by squirrels. My friend would have lights up in her backyard but every time there would be missing bulbs until they found this squirrel spray. Also it’s a good way to prevent squirrels from getting into your bird feeders. You will have to reapply it every time it rains tho.

      NEVER bake your dirt unless you are 1000% sure it contains ZERO FERTILIZER. You are inhaling toxic fumes by doing this. Once you bring soil home, pour it into a clean, dry airtight container and keep in a shed or on a shelf. Do not reuse soil for indoor plants. If you find that your soil has been or could be contaminated, do as she mentioned in the video and dedicate it to the garden beds.

    If you pour boiling water over your soil (in like a big container and cover it and wait until the temp comes back down before using), it'll kill the the fungus knat eggs and you won't have them. I do it everytime now with all my soils and I don't have knats anymore.

    Because wood is expensive right now, it might make sense to reuse/recycle the wood slats from the lattice you took down. It sounds terribly tedious, but you could potentially save a lot of money.
    That or trade it with someone online for different wood.

    Hi! So fungus gnats feed on organic matter that is moist, so they can appear in any soil if overwatered , or if the soil is poor in draining. So usually if you mix the soil bag with some extra perlite, orchid bark, and add some worm castings it will help the soil not keep moisture, and gnats will become less of a problem. But its pretty common for having tons of plants, Nd many times come in the soil from the plant store. You can get some mosquito bites and some yellow sticky tape to control adults!

    It's good practice to sterilize your "indoor plant" soil too! I've gotten into the habit this year after dealing with repeated fungus gnat infestations :( depending on how it's stored at the store or packaging facility even the best of soils can come pre-laced with eggs that hatch as soon as you start watering your plants.
    I prefer the oven method myself since I tend to do medium batches where you put damp soil in baking containers (~4in deep) and bake them at 180-200f until the soil reaches 180f which kills off any eggs or larvae hiding in there. This will also work if you want to utilize some of those opened bags since it'll get rid of any pests.
    It will make your oven smell a little earthy but totally worth the hassle to prevent those dumb gnats haha
