So sorry I forgot to include my Pokémon Go code! Here you go! 782471407171
Also, just be careful with the back up camera. I have one too, but also use your mirrors and windows because I had a lady hit me backing up just using the camera.
Thanks for the add. To increase the friendship level, remembe to open your gifts.
The flowers at 4:55 are crocuses! They are some of the first ones to come up! White poofy orange centre friends! The purple ones are also crocuses!
Daffodils dont last long enjoy them while you can. They are your first spring flower. Cut yourself a bouquet and enjoy them. They are my favorite flower
So nice of Kristy to offer to help with identifying the plants. Make a chart and write it down for next spring. It will be great info. Sounds like it’s a garden that will constantly have something blooming which will be very pretty.
In my experience, I've found that just having a good tidy up first then standing back to think about what you want to keep and what needs to go helps. Tidying makes things look better and makes any future project less overwhelming Jenn. And you can't get it all done at once so try to enjoy the process, you'll have a great time pottering around your garden 🌻
Crocus are the white and purple ones. You can try eating/using local honey for allergies. I think because the bees use the pollen in the local area, it helps you acculmate to the pollen in that area.
Hey Jenn! What a great video! I love experiencing Spring in NC with you!
I just want to let you know, hanging baskets are overfilled with plants so that they look full and beautiful. But they're isntvenough room in there for all of the roots to extend and grow so that they can thrive. So the fact that you haven't had much luck with hanging baskets doesn't reflect your gardening skill! You are going to be great at it!
Jen, if there is a nursery near there, the plants they have will be the ones that grow in that area. So go there. They'll be able to answer questions for you.
Annuals are plants that only grow a short time. Perennials are plants that continue to grow all the time. Some plants lose their leaves (. ). and some won't. I imagine there will be a lot of pine type trees and shrubs available there. They are super easy to maintain.
You may need to provide a source of water for the plants. If you can afford it, get automatic sprinklers. They save a lot of work. But I had just a hose with various sprayers on it for many years. They are cheaper and work fine.
Gardening is one of the most fun things you can do in life. It gives one exercise and calms the soul.
I live in Pennsylvania and I have allergies all year round. I like perennials. My shrubs and trees loose their leaves but come back the next year. I love the beauty of my yard but not the work. Hanging baskets are beautiful to put around or hang. Good luck! Have a wonderful day! Also mulching makes the yard very pretty. We do mulch. ❤❤
I grew up in Denver but I moved south of Houston 4 years ago, and I'm still AMAZED by spring down here, so I totally understand your enthusiasm! This year, I'm in a different apartment complex with even more plant life than my last place, and everything got green SO FAST it blew my mind!
You are good with graphics so draw the garden out on paper like I did and then you can divide up the garden to do sections at a time. You can then decide on entertaining areas and flower beds. Ornamental grasses are good low maintenance! Enjoy its good therapy.
Hey, first time commenting here.
That darker green jaggedy looking thing you asked if its a weed, its a dandelion. To get rid of it good, you need to fully dig the root out or kill the root at least, as they will keep coming back and the puffball they produce spread seeds very easily.
The one after this that you asked if it was also a weed with the lighter long green leaves, it isn't, so save that. The white flowers and the barney flowers are crocus from what I see. You can get them in lots of different colours, and they look like they grow well where you are, so maybe plant some more bulbs of those to come up next year! Maybe try some tulip bulbs and some more daffodil bulbs also.
If you're looking to try growing any veggies, try the square foot gardening method...there's tons of info online and its pretty cheap and easy to do, plus free healthy food lol
Or just start off with a little herb garden! I bought "living herbs" from the supermarket on clearance and replanted them and they flourished. I've also bought the cut fresh ones from aldi super cheap and put them in a bottle of water to root out, then planted them and they did really good.
Hope this helps x
Beautiful scenery ❤
Jen. I too have bad knees. I keep an old pillow to kneel on for gardening. An old couch cushion works very good to. I do not like knee pads so this seems to work best for me.
If you are wanting to garden but have knee trouble you can look into raised gardens I have a knee issue as well and took up raised gardening. I got storage bins , drilled some drainage holes and set the up on concrete blocks to give them some height then filled with raised garden soil and got some vegetable plsnts. I ve grown corn,tomatoes, zucchini just to name a few including potatoes in buckets. So try raised gardening
How awesome your in North Carolina . My sister lives in NC it is beautiful. She has a yard just filled with random flowers and everything grows Big there. Gigantic it’s amazing when she sends me pics ❤❤❤❤❤
Jenny, keep it going girl, you brighten my day, yay a Jenny Penny video to watch
I'm glad you're enjoying spring. Where I am in Adelaide, Australia, we're supposed to be in autumn, aka fall. But it still feels like it's summer with the heatwave we're having. Oh, well.
I usually tell everyone to never gift me plants. They'll be dead in 2 weeks tops, lol.
So happy you get to enjoy spring "down south". I had some crocus (little white ones) in the yard last week and was so excited (I'm in Buffalo) BUT they got covered in snow over the weekend!! I laughed when you talked about the "are you a plant or a weed" game I thought I was the only one :) I always have to ask my neighbor. He just looks at me with a side eye and says WEED.
I think the white flowers are crocus, daffodils are spring only flowers, some had dandelions and call them weeds, but they feed deer and other animals, so you may get deer visiting if you let them be ~ 💖 Joy
Hey Jenny
🌸💐🌹🌺🪻🌻💜🩷🩵💛
🐰🦄
Spring is beautiful!! So happy you get to experience spring.
Hello Jenn so Happy to see you back. You got your First Flower Bush Right Rhododendron We own a Purple 💜 One in the front yard. They're Gorgeous when they open up.
This reminds me of Ellicotteville N.Y with the Mountains in the backdrop. So Beautiful out there I'm glad you Love it there you have found your Nitch You're in your Happy Place😁
This video made me smile so much. I love the names you gave the flowers.
I'm excited for you! I never gardened until moving to my house 30 years ago as we always lived in apartments. I loved it and had a beautiful garden for years. It was before the days of internet, so I bought books and magazines. Living in CA, Sunset magazine was the best for me. I also turned into a bird watcher and put birdfeeders and fountains in my back year. Now that I'm in my 60s with bad arthritis, I want to move back into a condo or apartment where someone else takes care of the garden LOL.
Enjoy the flowers spring is so nice
Best advice I can give with gardening is to get a good watering routine going and try and keep weeds and other plants from competing with the plants you're keeping by pulling them out of the ground. Gardening can be very fulfilling.
Great video Jenny was going to suggest my yard is full of solar lights everywhere. Unfortunately I take them all in in the fall but really there is no fuss with them and transforms your yard into a wonderland at night. After a little clean up with a rake you will be able to tell better what is weeds. Enjoy but add solar lights back there you will love it .sending hugs 🫂
Hi Jenn, ty for showing your pretty garden. It's gonna be even more beautiful as you go. I just repotted some houseplants and have grown some herbs and vegetables in containers and in ground in the past and i learn as i go but it is so relaxing to garden. wherever you get your gardening supplies should have some advice. Good luck and ty for this inspirational video, Spring is such an amazing time and it's good to see you enjoying it
I'm so glad you get to watch the flowers bloom. ❤ Spring is such a beautiful season! Also, I'm really sorry about your airport experience and hope your trip is much better! Your garden will look so lovely!😊
Happy Spring! You are a breath of fresh air today! ❤. Eat some honey that is local to your area, it helps allergies. I like how you name flowers. Oh I got a knee bench that you can flip to use as a seat. I love mine, it helps me get up too. 😂. March showers just bring MUD. 😮. Hanging baskets die because the soil is wrong, it doesn’t hold water, they dry out. I’m going to start replacing the soil in mine this year with real dirt. That’s a pretty creek, how pleasant. Enjoy your swing time. ❤
Oh I can't wait for spring❤ when the trees and flowers come back out, and warmth 😊
Hi there Jenn Lovely garden beautiful location....At one with nature..!!!! I have found as I get older I now enjoy seeing flowers begin to bloom during the seasons.. And enjoy peaceful quite time outside..You look bright and rested I hope you are feeling good. XXX
Hi Jen!, hope ur ok? I love gardening! The white & purple flowers are called a crocus! They’re beautiful! They come in a variety of colours! Keep going you’ll love gardening! Very therapeutic! Much love from England ❤️🇬🇧
Glad your happy jenn but has with here in the uk you will be hit with allergies 😅 . That definitely was a Rhododendron they look amazing when flowering but give off so much pollen 🤧. Has for the white flower and the barney flowers there crocus plants and has with daffodils they only flower for a short period sadly. Has for leaves is normally good to leave some on the grounds for bird nests and foid for the plsnts etc . Id recommended getting a long handle spring rake and making a pile in the corner. Has for sticks also make a pile so nature can use them . Not sure on animals but maybe be careful of snakes when raking also some bees species sleep under leaves during cold weather .
The yellow flower ones are really heavy in pollen so be careful. Has for your knees you can get long handle tools i have some
I think the white marshmallow flowers are crocuses. And the purple ones may be freesia. (Edit: they are also crocuses. Freesia look like little purple bunches of grapes, I think.) I love those, they smell soooo good. (Both come from little bulbs and only bloom once, but they come back every year.) Good luck with the gardening. It will keep you busy. My husband was always dismayed, when he moved from Michigan to California, that he would have to mow the lawn all year.
Hi Jen, go to a local nursery in your area, even a building center. They will have plants and answer simple questions. If you see seed catalogues grab one. They hold all information and you can take your time to see and digest info. Perennials come up year to year and annuals are great for filling in empty spots and flash of colour. Enjoy this new adventure.
I love the mountains in the background!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, Jen! This one was so lovely, and your enthusiasm for spring is so infectious.
I'm from England so our seasons are quite distinguished here, luckily, and it always lifts my spirits to see the blossom on the trees. When you see that first pop of colour after winter it just makes you smile.
Your garden is lovely, such a nice size, like you I'm not very experienced with gardening but I hope you manage to spruce up the garden without being in pain!
Thanks for the great video and look forward to the next one,
Chloe 🩵🪻🌷🌼
Much love to you, Jen! You're so pure of heart.😊
We have loads of rhododendron here in Massachusetts. They flower early spring and are lovely. Enjoy
it's time to swing jenny! let it go, be free! much love to you and jacob! have a nice trip!
We love you, Jenny! ❤
I love that you and Jacob wear Crocs. So adorable. Keep up enjoying the little things in life.
I've watched some youtube videos by plant "experts" but Jenn's "what is it?" video is so much more fun.
Container gardening is great too Jenn! But your yard looks nice so it deserves a sexy veg garden/or at least flowers in it. If I were you I'd do a fusion; a few containers, some ground stuff (but not too much) so you don't get too tired on your knees. Definitely get the bench *thumbs* And get a bleeding heart bush! Easy and sooooooo pretty. Vlog idea: Garden center shopping :D
Wow neat we had all these in Missouri! Lots return yearly esp bulbs. We'd snip a few daffodils to enjoy in our house. You've got dafs, crocus, was thinking your big budded tree was magnolia but idk. Theres red bud trees and I think your one prickly guy was a thistle relative:) its fun you're so ecstatic! Maybe the plants know? I've heard they can hear us says the plant experts!
You look much happier in NC... Love your channel , your videos always make me smile :)
Yes, that was a rhododendron, it is the state flower of West Virginia. The white and purple flowers are both crocuses. My aunt grew up in Buffalo so I've heard about the tulips. The plant at time stamp 8:35 is a dandelion. Many people consider them weeds but they are a very beneficial herb as well as being very important to honey bees. The greens can be eaten, and making dandelion wine is very popular. The root has some health benefits. The plant after the dandelion could be a lily or an ornamental grass. At time stamo 9:53 the yellow flowers on the bushes are forsythia. The blooms will die and drop and then the bushes will fill out with green leaves. March showers bring mud. At least in WV, lol. I love to swing. It brings a smile to my face to see you swinging and smiling. I love your intro and outro just the way it is.
Hi Jenn! I think your knee bench will probably work well, buy you may want to add gardening knee pads. They're great for when you have to move around and don't want to move the pad/bench. I use them for cleaning floors as well because my kneecap moves when on a hard surface. I'm great with indoor plants but the outside ones not so much. When I pick up anything at a garden centre I ask a lot of questions, the main one being "what is the easiest to care for?". Otherwise there are bushes outside that just don't make it at my house LOL.
The white and purple flowers are crocuses. You should go to a local nursery, they'd be more than happy to help you in what plants and flowers do best in your area. With your autoimmune issues, you might want to wear gloves when planting and especially when pulling weeds. I had an allergic reaction to a weed once, it hurt so bad.
hanging baskets usually contain annuals - that's why they croak at the end of the season.
Chaos gardening is an option
Yes it is a rhododedron. We have them in NJ too. Gardening tip : only trim rhododendrons right after the bloom is done. If you trim any other time you'll cut off next year's buds. The marshmallow and Barney flowers are crocus. They are early spring blooms. They grow from bulbs.
The other shrub with buds isan azalea. The bushes with yellow flowers are forsythia.
Yea that’s for sure Forsythia trees with yellow flowers I have many in my back yard
Very pretty flowers. Break the sticks into smaller bits use as mulch. Enjoy yourself.😊
I couldn't be happier for you, Jenn, that you have found a place you like, and that you and Christie have an amicable relationship. I'm envious that you can garden. Here in West Seneca we have developed a huge deer problem. I've seen groups of deer walking along French Road and deer in Buffalo as far west as Fillmore Ave. They eat everything! I need a dog...
Morning Jenn 🌸 I’m so happy to see ya so excited for SPRING girl 🌼 gardening is my all time favorite! 🪴 It helps ya to lower levels of stress, anxiety as it’s my go to daily as soon as spring hits 🌷Ya don’t have to have a green thumb either Jenn when working in your new to you flower beds as this is going to be so exciting and rewarding to ya on a whole new level and with Jacob too! 🪻 I see ya already have a beautiful spot to sit and have a lunch and dinner together at and now you and Jacob need a relaxing sitting spot underneath the big tree out of the sun to take in the relaxing garden together 🌳 I for one can’t wait for this to happen 🍀 Oh the cats would LOVE a large outdoor cat run house enclosure in the garden too! 🙀 😻 they can enjoy the fresh air and watch ya while ya talk to them ♥️
Daffodils are the freshest smelling flower in the world, personal opinion here. Time to get out the rake and check out what needs work and what doesn't. It is a slow process and a very pleasant one, it is so lovely outside right now.
Oh, I love roses and they are really easy to grow. You'll have bouquets of roses all summer. They only have to be pruned in the fall or winter. So that's an idea. Group 4 or 5 different ones together and you'll have a rose garden.
Hi Jennifer 👋🏽. I hope you had a wonderful day ‼️😃👍.
It's beautiful there! The mountains are magical.
Jenn, there's daffodils, violets, buttercups, roses and a variety of them and different colors. Just watch out for the many thorns they have too. Black and blue roses are very rare. Sunflowers, peonie, petunias, lavendars, poinsettias which is the Christmas flowers of the season, tulips, snap dragons, venus fly traps which actually do eat flys for real. 😁 Jenn, the purple flowers are violets and no they aren't weeds their flowers just like lavendars cause they're fregrant too. Jenn, if you want flowers you either go to Walmart's lawn and garden department, Lowes lawn and garden department or Home Depot's lawn and garden department or if there's a store in town that just has plants, flowers, and gardening and such, and backyard plants and fish.
Just let you know how wholesome this video is
Treat yourself by going to the Biltmore next month to see the flowers & head to Gibbs Garden in North Georgia now. Charleston & Savannah in Spring are magical in Spring. Welcome to the South!
We had same picnic table. Solid concrete. We had to leave behind when we moved.
We painted it glossy white after a heavy duty cleaning. Really looks good white
hey Jenny, I have the same bush in front of my house, my mom planted it 40 years ago, I think its a Rhododendron, mine will bloom in spring with pink flowers. it will also grows up north, I'm in Pennsylvania
Hope you have a great trip! Love seeing the spring flowers. 💜💜💜
Welcome to NC, Jen! We call daffodils, "Buttercups" here.
The yellow bush you saw is called a Forsythia. My Grandma used to have one. They are beautiful.
I love your excitement for spring. 🥰
Hey Jen! Very nice video of your spring time in North Carolina. I'm glad that you're able to enjoy it.
Not sure if you tree is a cherry or a dogwood but behind it was bamboo, love it stays green all winter. The weed is Dandelion so many good things can be made from it. Also one of the first flowers to feed the bees. There i nothing wrong with a nice gentle swing. Maybe you can get a porch swing for the house.
Hi Jenn, I enjoyed the video. I dont do good with any kind of flower, it happens to me to I get a plant and it doesnt make it. My husband always makes jokes about it. But anyway, I always enjoy your content that you post. Enjoy the beautiful spring weather !
March in like a lion out like a lamb and it can be the opposite. What a joy to see you happy! Raised garden beds. Waist high, no bending
I'm sorry you were treated so badly at the car rental place. I love you ❤
Happy almost spring Jenn! I moved to NC from California and I had really bad allergies when I moved here to! Hopefully you will get adjusted! Definitely worth it to see the pretty flowers 💐
I live near Kingston NY and my town looks pretty much like there bloom wise! Crocus are those white and purple flowers.
Im from the north as well and we didn't really experience all the seasons either but I'm so glad to see a fellow spring lover! I love spring and fall is a close second. Wouldn't mind more videos like this. Dont worry, Im sure you'll get the hang of gardening.
That big plant is a Rhododendron. I have three of them in my front yard with different pastel colored flowers and I am in Northern PA along the lake
Use the app picture this for plant Id! It works great!
the plant could be a mountain laurel or a rhododendron
EnJenn! The unstoppable amazing train! Coming down the tracks to stop at our stations to brighten our days! I really thought of you as a plant and flowers grower and know'er. Lol
6:57 they are called annuals for the flowers that come up in a season. Daffodils are a Spring annual
Love seeing you so happy❤
lol You are so cute about being excited about spring time! I love it! Its like me when I see actual fall colors. I live in the gulf coast and It's either green or brown here. We dont get the pretty orange, yellow, and red trees. Unless someone plants them.
Thank you Jen
Yes rhododendron bushes are beautiful! We have them in PA too.
Happy Spring, sweetie! 😊
🏵🌸🌹🌺
Enjoy the beautiful flowers, and get some allergy medicine.
Hugs 🤗
There are lots of apps out there for plant identification and care. One that I keep seeing even tells you how to fix any issues with each plant when there's a problem.
Love all the spring flowers!
Please do share your Pokémon trainer code. 😊
Hope you and Annabelle have a wonderful and safe trip! Sorry about the bad rental place but hope that doesn’t ruin your trip.
You should come to Northern Indiana we could have all four seasons in one day
I love your shirt!!!!! Thanks Jen 🤠
Jenn, I live in New Jersey and we have Rhododendrons' everywhere. I love them when they bloom!!
My dads garden on Baldwin street in Rochester was gorgeous in the spring, which usually came in late April or possibly in may. Yours are freakishly early and thats ok. His daffydiills came in April.
I’d go crazy with all this space, I love plants!!! There’s plenty of information on YT. And one truth is that gardeners love to talk about gardening. So ask when you have a chance.
The white flowers are crocus Jenn ❤
Nice to see you ❤ happy spring😊
We get real spring in Rochester! You were here! You know that! We just get it later.
But enjoy any way....
Home depot has lots of flowers
I do think flowers in the ground are easier to grow.
I really appreciate your awkward dorkiness! I'm like that too I moved from Michigan to NC and I was shocked by how nice it is there in the winter. I would laugh when they would close school because we "might" get an inch of snow. Be prepared though, the summers are brutal!
I’m already sneezing my way through spring! 😆
