I like how you did all the research, and drafting a plan for the planting. All your video's show how much you really enjoy your garden. 👍
Thank you so much for saying that David! I appreciate you watching and your kind words! Happy gardening!
you are such a sweet neighbor to consider the the color palette of his house & improve his satisfaction
Wise woman. Oaks are precious.
Thank you for this important information about our beautiful California oaks and for the link to the "Compatible plants..." booklet. I am looking forward to seeing this garden bed planted!
After watching this I am convinced that you are a direct descendant of Mother Nature!!! Your passion is allergic! Thank you so much! Tell hubby to buy a planting auger for his drill!! He will need it! Cheers Todd
For Father's Day .. coming up quick!!
Your plan drawing is perfect. I can't to see this step by step. It may be the showcase of the neighborhood.
I wish there were more neighbours such as you! 💐❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much Eileen! That is so sweet!
Love what you have picked out. The color blend is My Colors!! Your Draft for the Plants looks Professional! Just like Laura with Garden Answer. Happy Day from Yuma, Arizona!!
Thank you so much Judy! That is so nice to say! Have a wonderful day and stay cool my friend! 😎
Pugsters are so majestic I only have one and its amazing.
If the droopy little plumbago doesn't make it the mock orange in it's place would keep that section balanced . Good luck, you have a very well thought out plan.
Hi Janey 🌻. The plants you chose around Oak very beautiful they will give asweet view .Have anice time.🌺
Super interesting information about your oak tree and so sorry about your parent's bronco thank goodness no one was hurt. I'd say your family has a Guardian Angel! I also love your plan and it looks pretty professional to me. 😉Have fun shopping!
Haha yes I would agree about the angel! We have had a few close calls! Thanks for watching my friend! Have a good day! (oh yea and my caladiums are finally sprouting! woo hoo!)
@@DigPlantWaterRepeat Yay!!! I’m so excited about your caladiums!! 🤗 I can’t wait to see you use them in arrangements since I’ve never seen them used that way. 😊
You are so good!!!!! Good morning friend, this is such a gorgeous project.
Loved this! I watched the shopping video first; so this was fun to see what lead you to the purple palette 💜
This bed is going to be gorgeous! I have a HUGE live oak tree behind my fence on city property. I love the shade it provides. I started watering it extra thinking it needs it 😦 Glad you shared your oak story! I’m going to stop and probably move my fence line drip. I love that tree and would be devastated if it died. Thanks again Janey!
Great video! Thank you for the link to the California Oak Foundation information. I live in Valley Springs, Ca which is also in zone 9b. Last year I planted 21 California native plants on the grassy/oak slope behind my house. A rodent ate the roots of one of them but, happily I still have 20 plants left. I give them 2 gallons of water every two weeks with a watering can and they do just fine. I too look forward to the natives needing no supplemental water (or at least very little). Eventually I want to have the entire area covered with plants that want to be there. The information from the COF will really help me choose the right plants!
Awesome video so informative! ( you are so smart) My pugster butterfly bush's got about 5 feet in just one year. They thrive in our zone and will do SO GOOD! ❤️👍😀
I think you did a wonderful job in your research on what to plant under the tree. I think me included do not think about planting under a tree needs. Your graph layout was more professionally done then what my husband and I got from a landscape professional. Yours is readable. We have had several oaks in our area fell over on the golf courses due to watering every day, so you were smart in doing your homework and pass experience. Every thing looks gorgeous in the plants and flower color. You might have more people walking by and traveling cars then you want, just because of the beautiful corner. Your neighbor should be very happy in your choices. Stay Safe and shop on for the flowers now.
Thank you so much Ginger! That is really nice of you to say! Poor oaks in the golf courses but I could definitely see that happening with all that irrigation! Have a wonderful day my friend!
Hi Janey. I am SO thrilled to have found your channel! 😀 I too live in the Sacramento area on a 1/2 acre property. Thank you so much for the detailed information on planting around our California Oaks. We have many oak trees surrounding the perimeter of our property and sadly they only live amongst the weeds at the moment. Our neighbors 100 year old oak tree is so large, it overhangs the street and into the oaks in my yard. Its really beautiful! We are only 2 years into trying to clean up the property and beautify it again, which as you know is a massive task especially in our very hot & dry climate. I can't thank you enough for the inspiration to help me make these areas more beautiful for all of my neighbors to enjoy too. I am very excited to see your Oak tree project completed. Keep the inspiration coming! Be blessed!
Oh Jamie! Thank you so much for watching and your sweet comment! I am quite jealous of your property! Enjoy the space!!
It’s going to be amazing I cannot wait for planting day 🙌🙌🙌
I've seen professional plans that didn't look as good as yours great job!
As a follow Californian, I'm very happy for your drought tolerant plant selections. I can tell you that the Cleveland sage does get to 5 ft all around. After the flower blooms, you will have to trim it back. I just did mine this past weekend. Also, they require FULL sun. and the Mexican salvia that you mentioned too. I'm in my 3rd year of planting them this yr, so I only water them once a month during summer. It's gonna look AWeSOME! Look alsos for ceonothus, they bloom blueish -purple.👌🌴🌸🌵🌞
Hi! Oh ceoanthus was on the list of good plants to plant under an oak tree! Thank you so much for your tips and for watching!
There are so many different sizes/growth habits and bloom colors of native California ceanothus! They are also sometimes called California Lilac. There’s a very low growing one with deep blue-violet-purple blooms that I just love. I had one that didn’t make it past a year, but I plan on trying it again in a different spot in our front garden re-do.
Well, you are off to a great start with those Plumbago! Once you get past the first year, they will love you more, not to water often! 😄
That's a beautiful garden plan! I can't wait to see it in execution! Hopefully you don't have difficulty digging with roots! Come on Power Planter! She needs an auger!
The Butterfly variety of pincushion is perennial for me, 8b Texas. I believe they are shorter term perennial though (3 yrs?). That's about how long I've had mine and I'm starting to find the middle of the plants are dying off.
Very neat organization there jenny...all da best
Thank you for explaining that! Here in the south, our oaks are used to wet, soggy clay soil.
As usual Im sure your idea and design will be just amazing!!
That is going to look so pretty and your drawing was really good!
Looking forward on ur plant shopping
Love natives plants too.tale care.😊
Oh My Goodness!!! My head is spinning just trying to follow all the preparation you’ve done for this area. How professional and thorough you are! And smart! And talented! I’m so impressed! Love watching you.
Wow great video Janey !! Never would have thought about “rotting” the roots of the oak tree And by the way your plan does look professional 😉😉 I think that looks awesome 👏 I LOVE all the plant choices this will be gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ now…….on to shopping 😂😂😂😂 have a wonderful day friend 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Pamela! Yes, its actually a big thing here in California that we have to watch out about! Things to think about in a dry climate!! Now to the fun part! 🙌🏼 Have a wonderful day! 😘
Great plan! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and research!
its become a tradition to watch your videos with my morning coffee :) keep making these happy videos.
Looks beautiful! It will be fun to see it take shape. :-)
Super helpful! I have a beautiful Ca oak that I have hesitated to plant around.
I love how responsible you are with your environment. So inspirational.
Very neat
California native here! Although I don't have any oaks in my area, it's always nice to see what other Californians are planting during these drought times.
Sounds amazing Janey
Hey Janey 🤗🤗
great info!
I'm so looking forward to following your progress on this area of your garden. I admire all of the research you did to ensure the plants you select will be right for you, the tree, and the neighbor. The plans, I thought, looked very professionally done!! The flowers you selected are varieties I have used here in New England -- pincushion flower, ferns, salvia, and my "go-to" favorite lilyturf. I've never seen salvia grow that large, but it should be a wonderful addition to the new garden.
love this
I am so happy that you're being careful around the beautiful oak. It's a real treasure. Good job on your plan and plant selection. 😊
Very interesting, I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania and love to be educated on different areas of growth and conditions of plants and trees.Your plans also looked fabulous! A lot of thought went into your choices. Can’t wait to see the results🌸🤍🌸
Thank you so much for watching Patty! Yes it is sooo interesting! The requirements are so climate specific, I actually had no idea! Have a wonder day my friend!
Can't wait to see this area come together. It's going to be beautiful!
Good Day. I think that what you have plan for the plants and shrubs and trees are gorgeous and wonderful. What an amazing garden that will be. The mock orange will be great as you see white trim on your neighbor's house so it will also go well with your plans for this garden. So exciting and looking forward to seeing this garden emerge as time goes on. Enjoy and have a super wonderful day.
Beautiful plans, and yes it's a good idea to water the oak tree during a drought. A big oak tree dropped a limb during a drought one year here next to our driveway. It was a big healthy limb! I couldn't understand why it would drop a healthy limb like that. So I did some reach search and found out oak trees will sometimes drop a limb during a drought to preserve the rest of the tree.
Really enjoyed hearing your garden plan. Do you know what kind of Oak tree it is? Do you know if it was originally in that location, or did someone plant it, back in the day? I'm looking forward to seeing your plant shopping day, your planting day, and then watching everything grow. Very exciting!
Wow!! You did a great job with your research and plans. Your channel has become a bright spot in my day.
I love all the plants you have picked for this space. My favorite plants are the butterfly bushes. My pin cushion flowers have been perennials for me in my flower bed and I am zone 9B here in Antelope. Thank you for the video. ❤️
Hi Amber! Thank you so much! That is good to hear that your act like perennials as well! Thanks for watching and have a great day!
Love how much thought and research has gone into your plan even down to what colours compliments your neighbour's house. Can't wait to see how this flower bed comes together. Xxx
Thank you so much Rachel! That is so sweet of you to say!
Thanks for sharing your plan. I live in the Sacramento area too. My pincushion comes back every year. I also have planted them with a punch of sea lavender. The colors and differences in foliage are lovely. I have some sea lavender planted under a redwood and it does very well. I bought several sea lavender plants on the Lowes clearance rack last summer so you might check that out as a source and way to save money on your project.
Thank you for doing your research! The plan is just lovely. Great job 🌼
Thank you so much Sue! What a nice thing to say!
What a great video! Can't wait to see the process and outcome of this garden. It's going to be beautiful!
Thank you Tina!! I appreciate you watching!
Great video, Janey!!!! Very informative and the list from the Oak Foundation is so helpful! The plants you chose are perfect. I love Pugster Butterfly Bushes ( I have a pink Pugster)...the flowers are stunning. 🌳M
Great information and great job researching all of this. I'm sure it will be very helpful for fellow gardeners in your area. Can't wait to see this garden bed develop!
Thank you so much for saying that Elizabeth! Have a wonderful day!
I have great respect for your research time and interest Janey. Also the diagram of the garden was beautifully done and did indeed look very professional to me. I’m looking forward to the decisions and planting of the garden.
Oh thank you so much Barbara! What a kind comment!
These are my colors! Thank you for sharing your selections. Making a nicer transition between my neighbors yard and mine has been on my mind too. It will be nothing like yours, but I love that this is a thing that others are taking into consideration.
Thank you so much for watching Marquelle! I think it will be really pretty if everything just melds into each other! Hopefully you can do the same with your neighbor! Thanks for the sweet comment!
I’m so excited to see the ferns in your plan!!😍 I can’t wait to see it all come together!! I love all the planning you did going into this!!
Thanks so much Danni! I appreciate you saying that! Have a wonderful day!
Boa noite
you are such a good neighbor to really consider colors and plants in relationship to the yellow house. ps. is your neighbor sharing any of the cost for plants within his property line?
Love this. I’m in same boat. Funny to find out you lived in Santa Rosa ! I’m in Penngrove and have a huge Oak with same dilemma. How far from the base of the oak are most of the plants ? Thanks !!!!
If I understand correctly, the new plantings' roots will get enough water over the 2 years but assuming the Oak's roots are deep, the water won't really penetrate that far down? Is that the plan? Great illustration and planning 👌❣️
Power compaies do that in Australia too.
It is so interesting. I never thought about different regions oaks needing dry conditions. The oaks in my area can take a lot of water, there is one oak we even refer to as a water oak. Hope you have a great day.
Yes! I think when researching I read about a "swamp oak" variety from Georgia! I was shocked! 😆 Yea, we dont have those here! 😉😘
There’s actually a perennial pincushion flower you can buy in pinks, purples and whites. It’s called Scabiosa caucasica. The annual type that we are more familiar with is called Scabiosa atropurpurea.
What a wonderful garden plan you put together, so professional, really looks great. Your tree would have never lasted here this spring into summer, we've had so much rain. I can't complain, means I can take a break from watering, no irrigation here. Really looking forward to shopping for these plants. Hope you guys have a wonderful day.!
Haha I can't imagine Wende! We have been in a drought for so long! Capture the water then sell it to California, you'll make a pretty penny! 😉😆😘
@@DigPlantWaterRepeat
Too funny =^)
Can you grow Foctail Fern? They are a Perennial here in Texas, they are a pretty shade of green and sway with the wind a little
I had that happen with the sprinkler system in the house we moved into. It sprayed towards one of three trees that were planted in like a vertical line across our yard. It ended up dying, and that is what we believed happened to it as well. Now I’m having a hard time finding the same kind of tree to replace it. Plus, it gave us much needed shade as it was the one that was closest to our house. ☹️
Boa noite. Bom dia sou do Brasil
Great job of planning your garden area. Dealing with a drought is so hard. Are you regulated on how much water you can use?
Hi Nancy! Thank you so much! Sprinklers are regulated at this time to 3 times per week. Drip and hand watering is not regulated yet but I have a feeling it will be this year just because we have been so dry!
Consider at least 2 additional white bloomers-having only 1 looks like a mistake, having at least 3 looks like a plan.
