- In this weeks video I’m going to be tackling some out door projects. One is getting rid of some weeds so I can plant some flowers. I ordered the Grandpas weeder and I’m going to give that a try.
I also have some hostas and bleeding hearts plants I want to get in the ground.

Girl, gotta say, love your hair..😍
11:25 lil Clark is peeping out the window like 'what's goin on out here!' XD
I am ordering that baby immediately! Illnesses and life caused my in-laws’ beautiful yard to have weeds. I CAN NOT WAIT!!
I have an 88 year old aunt that still plants her flowers every year her daughter doesn't let her mow or take care of the snow anymore but she does every thing else 💓 her so much ❤
Melissa that is incredible! I want to be like your aunt ❤️❤️
Jodi, I love to work in the yard but sadly cannot do it anymore. Watching you do it makes me happy❣️
Those Hostas look fantastic in that bed! I planted some white calla Lillie's in 2017 when my dad passed away they come up around mother's day and bloom every year around father day. I bought some more to plant that are different colors. The deer and rabbits like to eat my hostas but the don't bother my lamb's ear. I planted 2 lambs ear in my landscape a few years ago and both are massive now. I need to divide them come fall.
The story about your Lillies is sad and beautiful at the same time 💜
@@keelienne My little girl is named after him and he loved her so much! Seeing them come up every year makes me so happy. 💕
Hi Jodi! I have 2 bleeding hearts and one gets morning sun and the other really gets no sun and the one with no sun is huge way bigger than the other one yes they can get huge and they are beautiful plants. Good luck with yours!!!
Love the plant stand
That was so nice she gave you plants 🪴 you are turning out to be so good with your flowers and plants. It is so exciting. Love the grandpas welder.🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
You're doing great! I always love your enthusiasm. 💕🦋 🐶
10:25 Root-spreading is optional and it really depends on the plant -- I do it more when planting woody shrubs and trees, especially if the roots have gone round-and-round upon themselves inside the pot. Otherwise, not really a big deal.
P.S. With the larger varieties of hostas, when they get big after a few years of growing you can "spade propagate" them -- divide the whole plant, root and all, right down the middle with a shovel, then leave half the plant in the original hole and plant the other half somewhere else. More hostas! 🌿🌿🌿
I love watching your reactions to things such as the grandpa weeder and your hubby jumping on the shovel 😂😂. Love you sharing with us. Thank you and God bless you and yours.
Jodi your garden looks so pretty. Can’t wait to August and September to see how it has grown
Hi Jodi,
After finishing your garden beds sprinkling Preen weed preventer helps weed seeds from germinating. Saves a lot of work throughout the summer. Happy gardening from Windsor Ontario Canada.🇨🇦
I have loved following your progress from Gus to Clark - decluttering an entire house and now plants - your love of learning is infectious - go Jodi❤
Thank you so much Angela 🤗 and thanks for being here so long ❤️
Love your flower garden. Congratulations, you have a green thumb. I love the plant stand behind the couch.
So enjoy it when you find a new garden tool.
Thanks for sharing. God bless ❤
You are going to love the bleeding heart so easy to grow
That weeder could be a lifesaver for me. Dang dandelion roots. 👌🏻nice review.
When there are so many plants in the hanging baskets, there are too many roots. I usually take mine down and sit them in a pan of water and let them soak it up from the bottom. That way they are getting a nice drink instead of running off and going straight through the basket. I also water some from the top but not on the foliage. Those baskets are too crowded, but looks great. Sometimes I put them in a larger basket with new soil and just sit the whole thing in the new basket without removing the soil from the plant.
Yes the nursery’s always crowd the baskets
Great video - you make me smile every week. When you said it’s a beautiful day it reminded me of my 3 YO grandson who wakes up every morning and says “it’s a beautiful, sunny day outside!” Gotta love those kids! Getting excited about the holiday weekend coming since we just came back from North Myrtle Beach. OMG it was absolutely wonderful - you and the hubs need to go if possible. North Myrtle is different than Myrtle - according to others it is more relaxing and it was as costly as I has budgeted so that is always sweet! Until next week -
I’m in PA, in the northern Philly suburbs we are all clay😊
Your mane of curly hair is GLORIOUS!
Thank you Sonya ❤️
I love the plant stand behind the couch. And love your hair..
I'm going to tell you something and don't take it the wrong way...that hubby of yours is a plant enabler. hahaha. What a sweetie he was for doing the pogo shovel dance. I've wondered if the weed puller thing worked and now I know. I'll look into one of those as my back and knees aren't what they use to be.
I know right 😂😂
I saw a funny video on Instagram of a husband on the corner with a sign that said - please anything will help! My wife won’t stop buying plants 😂😂😂😂
we bought a similar garden tool 2 years ago. it saves ALOT of time if you put weeds into a low bucket then pour into bag later or get one of the kiddos or hubs to stand next to you and pull off the weed and place it in the bag. it halves your time using the tool because the hardest part is shaking it free into the bag.
Thanks for sharing ❤️
You are a fantastic plant mom, human mom, dog mom! Happy Mother’s Day ! Love your channel! You have inspired me to find a bleeding heart plant and definitely want to get the grandpa weeder thing-a-ma-bob
Thank you so much Sonia 🤗🤗
Im ordering this for my husband. He loves working in the yard and gets out with his little shovel to remove weeds--this will be a game changer.
Yes!!❤️❤️
I’m still trying to get my flowers planted this year. Much older and can’t tolerate the heat as well plus have hard time bending etc. i had to hire the neighbor to come dig some big holes for me. I do not have the ump or balance even to use one foot on the shovel. Oh my word was busting a gut about pogo style and the discussion about guys vs gals shoveling. You are a hoot!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😃😘
Emila if you have any flowers planted you are way ahead of me.
Hi Jodi, I am a subscriber from your couponing channel, so today I went into your info below your video for info on the 'rockstar' rebate and came across this channel that I didn't know you had. I really enjoyed these "Messy life" & home videos. Love the "grandpa's weeder", can't wait to get mine. Ty!!
Hi Natalia 🤗
Thanks for checking out this channel ❤️
That’s hilarious! My friend got one of those the other day and was trying to show me how it worked. I proceeded to press the leaver and pinch her finger so hard. I felt horrible. 😂
Hey Jodi: you could also try Hucheras aka Coral Bells in the front bed that you planted the hostas and bleeding hearts in-they will tolerate shade as well and they have beautifully colored leaves in many different hues that would look wonderful in that front bed. Also, what about putting your new plant stand and plants in your front room in front of the window (opposite the chairs)? Just a suggestion as IDK the traffic that room gets. I remember you once said your grand babies play in that room some, so maybe not a good place? Another great video! Thanks!
Just wondering if the plant stand would fit in your kitchen window? Then you could put all your sun loving plants on it. 🙂❤🌻
I'm trying to get my pool open found out my drain plug is cracked now have to go to the pool place hopefully they can help me .your front yard is coming along so nice keep you the great job 👏 ❤❤❤❤ you are doing great 👍. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 😀
If you want to keep the bugs out of the area you can spray Peppermint water.
Dandelions aren't weeds. They are medicinal. They were brought over on the Mayflower. 🌿🏵
Yay!! Loving your yard projects, Jodi! The hostas look so pretty in the front yard! ❤Your wavy hair looks so pretty! 😊
Oh Jodi I’m so glad you showed this new tool, I’m for sure going to get me one. Your back yard is looking so so good.
Thank you Karen 🤗
Great location of plant stands, and they’re looking great..👌🏻
Your garden is looking beautiful. That weeder is amazing and is definitely easier on the body. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏💪👍💐🙏🦮🐈⬛
Hi Mary 🤗 yes so happy I got it ❤️
Love seeing Clarke, Hi Clarke. Your flowers gardens are beautiful. I ordered 3 Gardenia bushes today, If you like the scent of Jasmine you may want to consider planting some, they flower and smell wonder all the way till winter. I hope they arrive healthy.
Have A safe & Happy week
Oh I will look into that. Thanks Marlene
Hello Jodi,
I'm not so new subscriber from France. Just wanted to tell you how much I love your channel, you're a real inspration to me.
Thank you so much ❤️
I would move the side table and put it in front of the half wall.
Hi Jodi 👋 dandelions send down deep tap roots that break up hard souls, especially clay souls and that helps make the soil more "friable" & hospitable to other plants.
Personally, I ALWAYS split the roots of potted plants to get bigger plants but that's me. My hand decided it needs a break from using the box cutter on rug removal so right now I'm kind of stuck until after the first when I'm going to try to get a carpet cutter. They're more hand friendly but require CAREFUL attention to detail to avoid cutting into the floor... We will see how THAT goes. 😅
Bleeding ❤️ s are great!!! They should love that location. The acidity or lack of it in your soul can affect the color of the blooms.
Your friend the gardener will probably always have some splits from overlarge clumps of perennials to share. You can always ask if she has anything she doesn't have a home for that would do well in your spaces... It's not rude to a gardener, it's a source of gardening pride ( to be able to share) & relief ( to have a home for the extras) to be able to rehome plants.
Plant stand.... maybe put the antheria on the lower outside spot? To prevent getting parts broken with kid/ pet rough housing that inevitably happens???
Yes. Those tall sunflowers are the mammoths. They're ready to plant now!
The plant nibblers... Try this, spray bottle of warm water. Add a few drops of dish soap and swirl once sprayer is on. Spray all the leaves of the affected plants.
Those other little ones could be affected by the same things OR could definitely have to do with the temps. They usually prefer 50s & above in my experience.
Looks great. I'd say you got quite a lot done!!!
Have a great week, Jodi
Happy Tuesday! Your flowers/plants are looking good! I quit trying to start things from seeds. They never grew for me and if they did they wouldn’t be very nice. I am glad to see you had better luck than me! Odd about the zinnias though. I put Grandpas weeded on my wish list…I need that tool in my life! Have a great week!
That was so sweet of your friend to give you those plants.The plants are looking amazing. I am working with my plants and veggies. I’m doing container gardening. I really am not sure if I will get anything to eat!! lol!! I will let you know as I get further along. I really love your videos
Happy Tuesday Jodi! Your yard looks beautiful with the variety of flowers you planted. Have a great week!
Love all your plants and flowers 💐 😍 😊. The weed puller is awesome! ❤
Ooh so glad to hear the grampas weeder works well. It looks pretty tough. I had the Fiskars one but part of it was plastic and it broke this spring. I’ll be ordering grampas next! Also Clarke looks awesome. His new groomer is great!
Im trying to reclaim my sunny perennial bed after two years of neglect. Im amazed how huge some plants have grown. I obviously planted lambs ear different from before. Its 3 feet tall! A surprise. Weeding, and ill be rearranging plants. Im going to use old dinner plates for fencing for my herb area, planting them into ground...English country touch! Like the plant stand behind sofa !
It is crazy how much upkeep flower beds are. Yours is going to be back in shape and beautiful ❤️
Hi, jodi. Your flowers are looking so good. Both inside & out! I love your new plant stand. I'm so happy with all the new leaves coming on your plants! Oh, I love your hair! My snapdragons died & they were from a nursery. I don't know what I did. They weren't in the sun. I watered them almost every day. I might have over watered them. Anyway, get some shamrock they're east to grow. If they do get less water, they die off some, but just keep watering them & they'll come up again from the roots. My kids would play so hard & knocked mine over & I thought it was dead. But nope, they came back. Have a great day! Thanks for sharing! ♥️☺️🫂🐾🐾🪴🥒🍅🍄🌹🦋🦩🌺✨️
Goodness, I totally missed when I subscribed to a gardening channel, I thought I clicked for a decluttering one 😂
Isn’t it wonderful that it doesn’t matter at all how old we get, but we still can grow and develop enthusiasm for something we didn’t care for or were even afraid of? It’s crocheting for me, and I still remember the pinch of panic in your voice when you showed your first breathing plant, and not one of the faux ones. Cute compared to how invested and educated you are now! 💜
lol. I am cracking up. I thought the same thing when your hubby said the water pressure was too strong while watering your strawberries.
Love the plant stand situation. 🪴
I think you have slugs eating your baby plants. 🐌
Your hummingbirds will love the bleeding hearts mine do i have 4 large bleeding hearts.😊
I haven’t had a hummingbird yet this year. I’m getting worried.
I thought the same thing about the Grandkids and pets! Lol
In our
area zone 4, bleeding hearts do well in the spring but need to be cleaned up later in the summer, although perennial they come up every year but don’t last all summer. I have a white bleeding heart and is lovely, Hi from Canada
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Your landscaping looks amazing! And the weed tool is interesting. A back saver for sure! Vivian is very kind to give you some plants. 🩷🌷🌸
I always ask my husband to show me how to make it look easy lol!!!
Oh my gosh look you go with that weeder
Hi Jodi my daughter and I are doing a lot of weed pulling we use a hula hoe there’s a lot of wild grass it looks so pretty but !,, when it starts drying wow ! In the desert it’s hard the weather can be cold in the 30s in the morning by 11 o clock it’s already in the high 80s to 90 so we can only work for a short period of time because I have a special needs grandson that is 19 that I have to take to school and pick him up at 1 . I had told you about my husband of 49 yrs passed so it’s up to my daughter and I to do everything that’s needed for the inside and out of the house it was something my husband and I enjoyed doing together but my daughter and I are having fun doing it together now ❤😊 love from Peggy
I love how much light your livingroom gets so much light. I am jealous. Our house is pretty dark. My raven zz is doing good but could be better. If I put all my plants in my plant room (brightest room in my house) then no one would get to see them, including me if I don't go in that room. But my huge monstera and lily are in that room. I have clipped some of my pothos to make my currrent pothos thicker. I had a prayer plant, it died 😢. My other monstera is tall but only has 3 stems. I will have to share a picture of my big plants. My daughter is supposed to help me split up my huge monstera and put in a moss pole. I am too nervous to do it alone. I sent you a picture of my 1st peony plant that grew in my hard after planting the bulb 2 yrs ago. I dead headed it and am excited to hopefully see it thrive. I love that you are getting into flowers and plants. I feel I have someone to share my excitement! And I need one of those grandpa's weeders!!
Denise your peony is sooo pretty 😍😍😍
Yes having plants and not being able to see and enjoy them kind of takes the fun out of them.
Hi Jodi. I've been off youtube for a bit but I missed watching you. Now I have to catch up.
Looking forward to more projects to watch.
U inspired me so much I tryed my hands in growing tomatoes..an this week they sprouted up...I'm so freaking happy
Oh my gosh Kisha yay 👏👏👏👏
that weeder is AMAZING!!! im so glad its making its easier for u
I just stopped the video on the 2nd weed. Whaaaaaaaaaaat !!!!! That tool is amazing! I’m ordering one. Crazy how easy it is!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Right!!! I can’t believe how great it worked ❤️
Love bleeding hearts.i have one
Well Jodi, you are turning into a master gardener! Your hostas will grow large over time and may compete with the bleeding hearts but you have time. Are you against weed killer? I know it’s hard with animals but Weed Be Gone will take care of those weeds on your front walkway. I would love to see the impatiens (I think that’s what the hanging basket is) in the barrel. They love shade and would look so pretty there. 😊
Hi Barbara 🤗 no definitely not against weed killer. I just don’t want it in the back where Clarke is.
I’ll keep an eye on the bleeding hearts. Sounds like they get bigger than I was thinking. The hanging baskets are sunpatience 😊
Hi Jodi! I’m working on turning one of my flower beds into a perennial garden. I already have Day Lillie’s, a hosta and tons of Black Eyed Susans. I’ll look into the Bleeding Hearts. I think my mom has them in her yard.
I may have to get that weeding tool! It looks fun! I also need to get some of those hand rakes! 🙂
A perennial garden really makes things easier ❤️
Hi Jodi, I also had a Grandpa's Weeder. My problem with it was when I pulled up the dandelions it broke off the root, since those roots are really long, so it came back up. We also have clay. It works good for more shallow weeds though. Enjoy your video's very much, no matter what the content.🙂
The long roots are actually very beneficial for the surrounding areas for other plants. They grow so far down to reach all the nutrients that are stored further down and bring them back up to surface for the other plants! 😊
Have you tried getting the big ones out after a hard rain? I find that easier if it's rained long enough to soak the soil deep.
Thanks for sharing the Grandpa weeder...i gotta get one! Your yard is going to be beautiful!
Thank you Sharon 🤗
Jodi, I have Bleeding hearts and oh yes, they will grow fast and reseed. Attract hummingbirds,etc. ❤(I’m in Central Illinois, zone 5b(?) whatever that means..🤪
Oh now that you’ve shared hummingbirds like them I’m definitely going to keep them 😍
Thanks Vicky. I’ll keep an eye on them and make sure they don’t spread too much
Your new yard tool is amazing!!!🎉🎉🎉
I love it Alicia 😍
Hi, Jodi! Thanks for the birthday wish and love the plant stand. Right now I have a plant my late boyfriend gave me a part of his original. I also have three orchid plants. Love when they bloom! I have a white with purple middles and one with pinkish purple color. The other one hasn’t bloomed yet. I think I want to get another plant soon. Hugs to all! Your southern Michigan neighbor!🌹🥰💜🌹
Hi ! Jodi love all your gorgeous flowers . I really enjoy these outdoor videos this time of year . Cant wait to see your next video and what new flowers you add to your yard. ❤
Thanks so much Dana ❤️
My zinnias did this last year. I thought i killed them all so I put the dirt in my flower bed in one spot. And they came back to life. I had the largest bush of zinnias. It was beautiful.
Oh my gosh really?? Maybe I should try that
I love the pogo stick method!
Jodi your flower beds are looking so good.I like that plant stand, but you cant see it by the couch, but your plants are doing well there. Have a great day.💕
I have that weed lifter upper in my Amazon cart, was contemplating on whether to actually get it or not. Awesome, now I know. Thanks !!
It’s so awesome ❤️
I have the Fiskars brand weed tool which is plastic and works great too. It's very light and the handle slides down to flling the weed off the tool. For really shallow roots I use a stirrup hoe (or scuffle hoe is another name). The bottom part is a blade. You glide it along the weeded area ( with a little pressure) and it cuts just under those shallow tiny weeds. Then grab your leaf rake and lightly rake off the weeds. That Grandpa weeder looks rugged indeed. What color are the bleeding hearts? Free perennials are the best. I have a white bleeding heart. They bloom early (mid April here in 6a Upstate ny) It was still in bloom when the lilacs started to bloom. I have my bleeding heart in dappled shade. It'll die back on its own then come back bigger the next year. Take pics of where everything is now so you don't accidently take grandpa's weeder to it next Sprintime. 😆 (I take alot of pictures of my gardens for a lot of reasons). Mine now has a spread of 3ft. And it's been 3 years since I planted it from a 2" pot. I hope your Dahlias made it through Winter storage.
Ordered grampas weeder and heading outside with it later today!! Thanks for the recommendation!!
Listening while I work 😊😅
Hi MelyAnn 🤗
I’m ordering one! I love the plants in your family room behind the couch
Thank you Deborah 🤗
Get some neem oil for your plants. It organic and wont hurt the plant or clarke. It help with pest that eatting your plants.
The plant stand is awesome! I may not know what I'm talking about, and it's too late now, but I thought that if leaves turned yellow or died off, they were getting too much direct sun. Maybe you can move the other zinnias? Just wondering, I'm not a major gardener like you. It's so fun to get all of the flower/plant updates. Take care! 💖🌻🌷🪻
It depends on the plant/flower but yes too much sun can definitely burn and yellow the leaf. Zinnias are sun loving and thrive with lots of sun and heat.
I love to see clarky
Hi Jodi, love your flowers. Have you considered a vegetable garden?
Your hair looks fabulous, Jodi!
Thank you Carolyn 🤗
Hi Jodi! I love your videos and your enthusiasm. Your hair is so cute! Because of you, I’m now on the hunt for a Montero Thai Constellation. Thanks for making me laugh!!
Love seeing all your gardens work!
Fun fact: dandelions have huge environmental benefits. One being they loosen hard impacted soil created from the previous winter season!! 😊
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Hi. Jodi. Do you know that if the dandelion leaves are tender you can make them a boiled salad with oil and lemon juice.😊
Jodi, I love your yardwork videos! I have to say sometimes when you talk to hubby it sounds quite harsh. Im sure its a qwerk of your relationship but thought I would share my observation. Love you and what you do!
Thanks for sharing your observation Amber 🤗
Hi Jodi, love your reactions to the grandpa weeder, and your reactions to the flowers and plants growing. Sending you pictures of my peonies and roses I have. God bless
Nani I can’t wait to see! I think I need a peonies 😍
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847, I am planning on getting dark pink peonies from my son's place in a few days. The blooms are so beautiful until it rains and they fall over, so they need something around them. Tomato cages work.
Thanks for sharing Jodi. Im working in the yard and it is just exhausting. Im in Tampa and Im working in hour increments. Thanks for he motivation!
Julia yes yard work is exhausting
Hello Jodie, I’ve just planted a peony and an acer in my garden. My yellow rose bush has about 40 buds on it lol
I think I need a peony 😂😂 they are so pretty
Hi Jodi! Glad the yard sale was successful. I’m about 45 min from you (Farmington). What city was the city sale in? I’d love to check it out next year. 😊
PS I also use the pogo stick method. Lol!!
Omg Jodi!! Your hair looks amazing ❤
Thank you Bianca ❤️
Great tool! I think you only loosin the roots up if it is root bound in the pot. Garden looks pretty!
Thanks Pat 🤗
Oh my gosh that grandpa weeder is amazing Love it
So so impressed it with Cindy 😍
In Georgia our clay soil is red.
Okay, now I want a weeder. Lol. I know you are avoiding mulvh because of Clarky, but if you can get this bed planted up with plants they will help keep the weeds down.
Yes that’s my plan ❤️
Hi Jodi!
Hi Amy 🤗
Maybe it is a variety thing, but sedum prefers full sun and will flop over if it has too rich of soil or too much shade.
