- We recently discovered that we have a highly invasive weed in one of our garden boxes. In today's video, we are going to show you how to deal with the invasive weed dodder. This is not something we want to play around with, and we will be taking every precaution to make sure that it is eradicated.

Dear Jenny, I have never commented on your videos, though I do always appreciate them. I just want to very very sincerely thank you for putting the effort into providing this one. I've never heard of dodder, but this video has helped me so much. I can deeply empathize with the deep discouragment and despair to find such a monumental problem in your garden and face the huge disheartening task of having to deal with it, eradicate it, destroy a beloved garden area, and have to totally rebuild from the ground up. Thank you, thank you for taking care of this invasive weed so perfectly responsibly and sparing many others the sorrows from its spread. I'm a novice gardener and have encountered some big disappointed setbacks in my garden, too. It just truly helps me to see you press on with such grace and commitment. You didn't have to share this, and I respect you SO much for your kindness to do so. With or without encountering dodder, this is the kind of inspiration that probably helps me more than anything to not give up. I love all the all the beautiful, refreshing side of gardening, but I keep being reminded that because of the fall, thorns and thistles, weeds and pests and powdery mildew are just going to be a part of the toil till the Lord returns. You are a huge reminder to me this morning that in judgment God keeps being merciful to give us so many enjoyments and make so many things actually work out well in our gardening! I wish I could give you a big long hug in person, but I at least want to tell you I am sending you one in my heart.♥
Thank you for this precious and encouraging comment. I truly appreciate it, and I believe you have made my eyes leak 😉. I accept your heart to heart hug and I'm sending a big one back your way!
You handled this situation the very best that you could and with so much grace. Thank you for creating this video to educate others. I appreciate that you are so open and honest in your gardening.
THANK YOU, for saying that “you do the best you can”. We all need to hear that, from time-to-time, so that we are not too hard on ourselves. There is always “something” that we have to face, whether it be in the garden or out. The most we CAN do is “the best we can”. PEACE AND BLESSINGS to you and all of the Gardening with Creekside RUclips family.
☕️Good morning to you, Jenny and all garden friends. Thank you so much for highlighting this terrible weed. As a Master Gardener, I know the importance of communication between all gardeners, with big or small areas, no matter what the plant, to spread the word on invasive weeds and/or bugs/rodents. I know you will keep us updated on the progress of elimination. I really enjoy your beautiful space, and you and Jerry, your family, and your staff are a blessing to so many. Enjoy a safe and happy 4th everyone ❤️🌹🎈🇺🇸
The master gardeners class is a great one to take, I have been a Michigan State certified master gardener now for 25 years.
The battle is real in the garden! I’m sorry you’re dealing with this and I will definitely be keeping my eye out for this. I am however so thankful for the rain we are getting.
BTW Anyone who doesn’t have an encouraging word isn’t worth your time, Jenny. Y’all work so hard and take the time to teach and share with us so much. I’m thankful for all you do!
Thanks for making us aware of this invasive weed, I had never heard of this before.
So sorry for your troubles but thank you for sharing. On a positive note, that end of the garden is looking fabulous, especially the urns with the caladiums. And you have done a brilliant job with Brenna. Not many people can have a garden and a large puppy ! She obviously loves her mom xx
Totally agree!
Oh my the beds around these raised vegetable beds ARE LOOKING
AMAZING! The concrete Urn/pots LOOK BEAUTIFUL!
Pls show another picture of this area!!! WOW!

I never knew what this weed was called although I had heard the word dodder. It appeared one year in my flower beds. I just pulled it out and I'm sure it went in my burn pile. I was lucky and haven't seen it since! I'll keep an eye out for it though! Don't forget to treat/wash your shoes! I bet they could hide seeds. That weed could create such havok in your nursery! It sounds like you're doing everything you can to get it in check! Good luck to getting it under control! Thanks for all the info!
Oh sweet Jenny! I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I so appreciate you sharing this. As you said KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
We are dealing with some crazy weeds in Oklahoma too! Some I’ve never seen before this summer. Love your channel, you’re a bright light here on RUclips ❤️
Thank you for your sweet words!
Having battled invasive mulberry weed for years without success, pre-emergence is the only thing that has helped me get a handle on this invasive plant. I applaud your efforts!
I also have mulberry weed 😭. I also deal with Florida betony, chamber bitters and other weeds. Preemergent (same one Jenny is using) is my friend. I use it in fall to stop winter annuals (chickweed, henbit, vetch) and I use it in spring for the summer annuals.
@@saraw8503 The mulberry weed came in with bales of GA pine needles my yard guy used as too dressing. It’s a nightmare plant!
I've never heard of mulberry WEED but I used to deal with volunteer mulberry TREES (birds planted) and oh my that was a vigorous thug. For several years I'd cut it down and in a season it would grow as tall as my story and a half house.
Finally eradicated it by painting Roundup concentrate on fresh cuts. I only use that product where I can control it with my foam brush to apply it. That's serious stuff.
@@Edu_Kate the leaves resemble a mulberry tree so I think that’s how the weed got it’s name. A bazillion seeds!
Thank you so much for this video. I respect your use of the pre emergence. I’d respect it if you had to use Round up or 2-4d with Amine. We fight Canadian thistle over about 250 acres. Raising cattle is our livelihood as the nursery is yours.
We’ve never dealt with Dodder but I’m glad you are showing all sides of agriculture.
I’ve served on the extension council in our area and it’s amazing what all the extension services do offer in the way of help. Thank you again.
So glad you discussed this since I've never seen or heard of it. Great that viewers pointed it out. Scary to think how it could have spread throughout your beautiful gardens or even the nursery.
I have never even heard of Dodder. It sounds awful! Thank you to the viewer who spotted it and thank you Jenny for sharing this knowledge with us.
Thank you for taking the time to explain why it's going to the landfill and getting rid of anything the 'dodder' could have contaminated. Love your Garden Lessons for those who don't know the issue or know how to take care of the issue...me included : D
Thank you for being honest and show us things. Love you and your videos, that are you helpful.
We also had not heard of this either. Thanks, we will now be on the watch for this goong forward.
Thank you for this video! Never heard of this before. You are right, knowledge is power in the garden.
I have never heard of this before! Thank you for sharing your experience … now I will be on the lookout!
Thanks for the video and giving advice on how to handle it and notice it. and a special thank you to the subscriber that points it out to you.
Thank you for this video, I really appreciate your keeping us informed ❤️
Thanks for keeping it real!!!!
Everything still looks lovely 😍
Thanks for educating us! Never heard of this. Hang in there
Thanks for helping us learn! Praying this takes care of it once and for all for you guys.
This is great advice! Thanks Jenny for sharing it with us! The garden is beautiful and everything is so full…those urns with the Caladiums are gorgeous!❤️
I totally agree and respect your preferences in getting rid of this weed. Thanks for sharing!
Never heard of it either, but we certainly be on the lookout.
Thank you for all your great tips.
Thank you so much for sharing Jenny! The struggle is real! Never heard of dodder before, now thanks to you, I know.
Thank you so much for sharing - have never heard of dodder and will certainly be on the lookout in my garden.
Your garden is in glorious aray....so many beautiful plants.
knowledge is power. you went all over to find the knowledge and then shared it. good job and thank you.
Love all the precautions and extra steps you are taking with this.
Thank you for sharing!! So sorry you are having to deal with such a nasty weed. Love your videos!!! 🙏🏻 you got it al!!!
I'm so sorry you're facing this. Thank you for sharing all the information.
Thanks Jenny for your honesty these information videos really help us home gardeners.
Wishing you every success with eradication of this horrible weed. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! Jenny - I’ve NEVER heard of this!
Great and very valuable information!
Thank you so much for educating us!
Sorry you had to deal with this.
Knowledge is power!
Jenny, thank you so much for sharing your garden and experience with me. You have blessed me so much just watching your videos. I have learned so much. I have never heard of this weed and thank you for sharing.
Thank you Jenny for keeping gardening "real". Working in the rain was an added piece of reality!
Thank you for sharing this video with us. I have never heard of dodder, but I am always glad to learn something new about gardening. You are handling the situation the right way, no panic, just proactively working to stop it and educating yourself along the way.
I hate you had to deal with this but I so appreciate you sharing the correct steps you have taken to eradicate this weed. Gardening isn't always fun, but it is always a learning experience !! And, as a Master Gardener, I appeciate you sending your fellow gardeners to their local Extension Office and/or University for advice. I haven't seen it in my N. Atlanta garden, yet, but now I know what to be on the lookout for and how to handle it if discovered. Thanks every so much for sharing your gardening knowledge, enthusiasm and inspiration !!!
Thank you so much for doing this video. I've never heard of this weed and don't know if it's in my area/climate but now I will know what to look out for. Very informative Jenny.
Never heard of that but now I know what to look for...thanks!
I am so sorry that this has happened. This is so helpful. Thank you.
Wow, Jenny! I’m so sorry about this not fun issue! Praying this will take care of the issue and you never see dodder again! Your cottage garden looks amazing! I just love it!🧡
A solid battle plan Ms Jenny! 💪
I really love your attitude, Jenny. I know you and Jerry is going to do what's best for your gardens. God bless, you and your family.
I hope you're able to get it all. Thank you for sharing this video. I would not have known what dodder was. We've been dealing with an invasive morning glory for 3 years now and it's no fun.
I’ve never heard of dodder before. I’m so sorry you are having to deal with it. Thank you for sharing this information. ❤️
Thank you for making us all aware of Dodder. I have never heard of it. Knowledge is the best medicine to save our gardens. Love your videos and thanks again for providing this information.
I have only respect for your gardening practises. Everything is looking so beautiful Jenny. ❤️
I have seen this vine for years growing up around my knockout roses. I would pull as much as I could every year. Thank you for this information. I am following your instructions to get rid of it.
Thank you for all of this great information Jenny. I had never heard of dodder until your video. As much of a pain it is to remediate, at least you caught it now. It could have been worse. ❤️🤗❤️
I have never heard of Doddar. Thank you for enlightening us. Hopefully you and Mr. Jerry can get rid of that weed issue soon.
Take care.
Thanks so much for addressing this. Overwhelming I’m sure.
I appreciate you going over this process. When you mentioned it the other day I had to Google it. But I googled daughter weed and came up with a bunch of teenage girls smoking pot! Then I realized you said dodder! It reminds me of when Erin the impatient gardener had to deal with her boxwood blight. Not fun at all but necessary to deal with it correctly. Thanks so much.
Thanks for sharing this video as I had never heard of dodder prior to watching this video. I cannot believe that the seeds can last that many years in the soil. As you share your experience, you are showing us how to not let setbacks in the garden discourage us. Thank you for reading the comments sections and taking it seriously. Thank you to the viewer who pointed it out to you.
Jenny, thank you for your message that these things happen with gardening and we just need to keep going. I was so discouraged today about my garden. I discovered what I think is powdery mildew on all my coneflowers. And a lot of my flowers are dying with our over 100 degree heat in California. I had put so much work into my garden this year and it is not looking good. I was ready to quit. But your problem is greater and it affects your livelihood. You encouraged me to keep trying. Thank you for sharing from your heart.
Thank you for educating me on dodder. I have never heard about it. Hopefully I never get it, but if I do I will know how safely dispose of it. Knowledge is powerful. I appreciate you videoing this. I pray it never comes back for you. 🙏
Thank you for stressing that professional advice is best!
Very helpful video! I have been dealing with dodder for a year now (when we moved to this house). Fortunately I researched and figured out what it was quickly so it has been minor. My plan of attack was to remove all plants in the area and start over. Thanks for the encouragement and motivation to do so! Helpful tips too, thanks!! (My dodder is in coreopsis and black eyed susan’s.)
Thank you my garden is infested with it and it breaks my heart that I need to pull everything out but this stuff is insane! I appreciate you sharing your experience
Thank you Jenny. Very useful information. I am in Winston-Salem and I will be on the lookout for this pest. Hopefully there will be none. 😊❤️
Thanks for the 'heads-up' about the dodder. Sounds like you have gotten sound advice from the experts. As usual, you handled the other issue with your loving Southern Grace. I would not have been as kind or tactful. You are a better woman than I. Kudos!
Thanks for sharing this with your viewers!
Boy oh boy you must have had alot of moments for you to put the brakes on this problem.
I do so enjoy watching your videos. With gardening we take the good with the bad. Take care and garden on.
Thank you for this informative video. I will be on the look out. It is a new one to me. This is one weed we all need to get on top of. Hopefully for you it is contained in that one bed.
I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this invasive plant. You can hear the heartbreak and frustration in your voice. Thank you for sharing this informative video. Gardening has highs and lows and we continue to learn along the way. Onward to better blooms!
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this! But thank you so much for sharing this video. I had never even heard of it. 😳
Oh my! What a beautiful opening scene! So very sorry you are having to deal with something like this. Thank you for sharing this experience and knowledge of how to deal with this. I've never heard if this but will now certainly be on the lookout. Question, your's happened to be in a raised bed. So you can get rid of that whole box. What if it's out in the garden landscape? What would you do then? I don't have raised beds so that's why I'm asking. I want to be prepared and I totally trust your methods. Thank you Jenny again for sharing this and also for how graciously you handled it.
This is good information! If I ever see this weed, I will now know what to do before it gets out of hand. Thank you!
As a NC MasterGardener, this is a learning experience for me. I can share with other MGs and with our county residents.
Thanks for this video. I'm hoping you can do a follow up to it to show what else was done and if it was effective.
That stuff is very hard to get rid of. My friend has it in their property, it's a constant battle
Thank you for sharing this problem, we all have them. I have battled poison ivy for years. And it’s difficult as I am extremely allergic to it.
Wow, never heard of Dodder before. Will keep an eye open for this parasite in my Arkansas flower beds. Thanks!
I’ve never heard of this, and hope to never deal with it. Thank you so much for this video. I agree that it’s important to share the unpleasant parts of gardening, when it comes to managing serious problems.
Thanks Jenny! I’ve never seen or heard of Dodder but if I ever do, I will know what to do. My horrible weed problem is chamber bitter, and I’m losing the battle.
Wow, never heard of Dodder ! Thank you for sharing.
Love your “bless your heart” attitude with everyone’s options. Lol.
Thanks for sharing. I learned about a problematic weed.
THANK YOU for this video..I have never heard of it or seen it in my area..coincidentally people on facebook started to talk about it this year..and how prevalent it is in our area..well we have been moving dirt and bringing in dirt from our pasture area..and thankfully we set the dirt on a tarp and as I was looking at the flowerbeds from our deck I saw what looked like it..and my first thoughts was..no!! went and took a closer look and there it was!! Right away I came back to watch this video again!! SO THANK YOU!!
So glad it was helpful!!!
Hard to listen to you because I am mesmerized by your beautiful cottage garden! 🤷🏻♀️🌺❤️
I SURE LOVE YOUR COLORS IN THIS GARDEN!!!
Thank you so much Jenny. You gave us a professional and thoughtful lesson in how you handled the dodder. Were you able to reach out to whoever provided the contaminated seeds to you so as to prevent further spreading?
Thank you for this video. I had never heard of this weed either.
Jenny , thanks so much for sharing this information . Sounds like a real Problem .
Like so many of your viewers I have never heard tell of dodder ( I live in Prince Edward Island, Canada). I am so relieved some of your viewers recognized it and warned you before it could spread to your beautiful gardens.
As gardeners we must all be vigilant and this video is informative for us all should we have to deal with a ‘difficulty’ in our spaces!
I have seen dodder on roadsides in Louisiana and have always wondered what it was. Now I know. Thanks. It seems to grow in areas that stay somewhat wet around here. Fortunately I don't know of anyone who has had it in their garden or yard.
Thank you for being you.
That’s for sharing Jenny , always Learning from you?
So sorry to hear you have to deal with dodder. I,also, have never heard of it. Googled it and found out there are 7 species of dodder in my state: Georgia. Will get the fact sheet from UGA(University of Georgia) ag through my local extension agency. Thank you for sharing this information. And please don’t feel like you must apologize or even explain what you need to do to keep your plantings healthy and parasite free! Thanks again.
I haven’t seen this stuff before. I will be keeping an eye out from now on. My nemesis is wild violets. They are invasive in my area
Thank you for being so forthright and informative regarding this invasive weed! It helps us newbie gardeners learn and adapt. I just about had a heart attack when the Impatient Gardener discovered Boxwood blight (😱) and now this nasty weed is making itself known . Silly me for thinking that Japanese Beatles and Deer pressure were a problem! Chin up gardeners.😜
I am so sorry. Thank you for showing us what do if it is necessary.
greeted with beautiful flowers behind you, thank you for the information it is very useful to increase our knowledge ❤️❤️❤️❤️ healthy always
I am so sorry this happened to you but at least those of us that are not familiar with dodder know what measures to take to get rid of it. Your loss is our gain. Thanks for educating us on this.
Thank you For sharing this information!
Love how you show the real life of gardening and not just the fun, pretty parts. My stomach clenched when you said you have to re-build the bed. Sorry! Wishing you the best of luck!
That’s how my stomach feels too 😫
Hello my friend. This is more than just a video, you put love and passion into it. Great job! New power for your channel. Good luck 👍🌹🌹🌹
Thank you❣️
Jennie - So sorry you are having to deal with this . This is very helpful! I just recently had to dig up my knock out roses as result of rosette virus so I feel your pain. But like you said this is gardening. Most of the time it is so rewarding-guess we take bad with the good. 🙏🏾💕
Hello 🙏🏾
