Absolutely love the new paths! So pretty! That chip drop would be great to cover the area around the kids’ jungle gym area. Those grand babies would love that!
Love the paths, well done! Using the stones and logs was so smart. The chips will settle in and decompose, so you can layer them thicker than you might think.
You are a teacher to us by watching you clean up, plan, create and using what you can in the open time you have and still enjoy the moments and help lil critters. You're one amazing woman in case you dont realize it. Blessings to you!
The new paths are a great improvement. I love the look with the rock border on the one path and the fence on both sides of the other. Your flowers look beautiful. I too have suffered from all the rain. Plants that rotted and others waterlogged. I'm so sorry about your beautiful little girl. Maybe help her out with a dish of shelled, raw sunflower seeds, walnut pieces and unshelled peanuts. If that is her tree, place the dish under her tree so she doesn't need to travel as far. Also, a small water dish for her. They seem to recover quickly from injuries. Prayers for a good recovery 🙏
Thank you Ann ❤️ Yes the amount of rain has really taken its toll. I would absolutely do that for sweetie but that tree is not in my yard. It sure my neighbors would appreciate that 😂😂
Always enjoy your videos. I look forward to them each week. I have to admit I wasn't too sure when you mentioned using the logs as a border.....but....I absolutely love the logs mixed with the rocks. It looks like it belongs there, with the "woods" in the back. Have a good week.
Love the new pathways! Especially like the slow but steady progress you are making-so relatable! I like the black fencing around your garden area-kind of delineates the garden area from the pathway. Maybe when you are able to get the rocks out from under your bay window, you and hubs could try the dry pour concrete method of getting a concrete pad there(check RUclips for how to videos). I agree that it would look so good!😊❤❤
The pathways look wonderful. You’ve inspired me. If you have a natural resource area close, you can check with them to see if there is a rehab for squirrels in your area. You can put out a squirrel trap to catch Sweetie. Or of course let nature take care of it. Hopefully she will recover on her own. ❤
Jodi, everything is looking great. You are so blessed to have a husband that will help you with your projects. Thank you again for sharing with us...until next time.
What a beautiful flower area you have. And you amaze me with knowing all the names of your flowers, lol The wood chip idea was fantastic. Cheap and very pretty. So sorry about Sweetie. Do keep an eye on her. Their paws are very important to have in their daily lives. It looks like its broken the way she is dragging it. She will be in my prayers.😎🙏
Edwina that’s what my husband said too, looks like it’s broken 🤦♀️ just breaks my heart. But I saw her yesterday and she was running on her 3 good paws
Hey Jodi! Not much going on here lately in the yard, it’s just to hot in Florida. I’ve just been mowing and weed was whacking that’s it. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 Here in Florida the cardboard cover does not last long because of our moisture aka humidity so I have to do card board and weed barrier. And we don’t have cold winters to kill off the weeds. Aka snow. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 The cardboard decomposes fast here and we sometimes have double up the cardboard layers. Also we buy the expense commercial grade weed barrier at Home Depot I think it $85 a roll, expense but worth it. We have bought the cheap stuff in the past and stuff still grows through it. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 I also buy pine bark nuggets at home depot, Its’s Big chunks of mulch and don’t decompose as fast. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 We have redone the front landscaping 4 or 5 times because it got so dang weedy. This last time has lasted and the weeds are minimal and mostly only growing on top of weed barrier from not underneath which is easy to pull up. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 Short story long it has held up since last redo February 2023 with minimal weed pulling in the edges mostly. And I use my homemade weed Killer of salt, vinegar and Dawn dish’s soap on that works great!
Hi Jodie , garden looks great. We had my father in laws funeral yesterday, was a beautiful celebration of his life. My rose bushes are blooming like mad. We had a good rain storm so next job is to dead head them x
Hello from another Michigan resident !! I am from here born and raised ! I'm from the "Mid Michigan " or Tri City area .... Love what you've done to your yard with the pathways 😊
Wow. I wrote a lot but utube deleted it again. Ugh. Chip pile.... suggestion: load and move in the rain. Then spread out afterwards. Everything looks good. Logs+ rocks = parks do that same setup around curved pathways often. Great cage for sunflower seems to help a lit. Squirrel: DON'T BRING IT INSIDE ...trust me. Please. Zinnias looking good. 🦋 Good. Patio: at end of season many places have those on clearance. Get what you can, store in shed until ready to use. Mix + match = unique patio design! Yellow jackets attracted to "rotting wood" or shred piles for nest building. Im hanging out & working on exercises for mobility improvements of elbow/arm. That's it. 😆
The rocks would look nice around in your plants where there is some bald spots. You need to have a weed eater. You could get all those weeds cut back in no time. Cut all the small trees down and weed eat and then you could mow that area. Would look so good.
I can listen to all day talk about your garden...I love the way its coming out...an the fact you do what you say your gonna do an it comes out looking better than expected.. I am just in love with how it's going..from where u came from...❤
It is looking amazing! Love the walkways and the wood branches between the rocks for a boarder trim was a good call. Your hard work is paying off! Prayers for Sweetie
Since I'm unable to get chip drop and they got rid of the county place we could pick up wood chip mulch or finished compost from it, I buy fine pine bedding shavings from tractor supply. Goes way further than mulch from a place like Lowes and also doesnt have a bunch of dyes and chemicals since it is supposed to be pet bedding.
If you wanted to you could spray paint those wood bits. Also, almost all bugs hate PineSol so I would buy some and put a spray bottle nozzle on it and spray all that mulch stuff. 🤷♀️
Wow amazing job Jodi, I just love those pathways! You did a great job moving the rocks & your hubby helping, that was so sweet of him. I hope you had a great out to dinner with friends! I'm so sorry about sweetie, I hope his leg gets better! There's not much you can do, unless he comes to for help. Even if it's broke it'll take awhile to heal & he'll probably have a limp. But it probably was a sprain. So wish him well & can situp & eat soon! Thanks for sharing your beautiful yard & garden! You've come a long way for sure & it's been amazing! Take care! Love & Hugs!♥️😉🫂🦋🍄🐾🦉♥️📓✏️🧵🪡🧶✨️
What a transformation. I would order another load and give the paths another covering. Cannot believe the changes since you started. Just shows what you can achieve a bit at a time. Hope sweetie recovers soon xx
I love the logs and rocks border. It looks like you're walking along a state forest trail. Maybe The Hubs would like it if you added a log and placed one end on the ground and one end on top of the end of the first one. To give the illusion of having fallen there. Or three logs, two on the bottom and one on top in a pyramid shape. Something more defined might appeal to him more. But I like it however you do it. Looks great!
Your yard is looking incredible. Hard work pays off. Poor Sweetie, hope she gets better. Maybe for the walk way by the garage put solar lights, they are getting cheaper this time of year. I like the wood and rock walkway as well, great job & you already had the things for it. No oop for you, sorry your coupon channel.😁 Always enjoy your videos Jodi.🙂
The pathways are looking amazing! I love your flowers. Last year my dahlia did nothing. I was so dissappointed. This year, however, they have done amazing! I don't know if the weather/rain has anything to do with it but, it will be interesting to see what happens next spring and summer! I hope you have a great week!
Check if you have a rehabber in your area. There are people that can help with wild animals. We have a wildlife center but I'm not bringing anymore yard birds there and will look for a rehabber instead. We had a bird that had an injury to it's wing and they euthanized it because they had too many to take care of. If you have a fb wildlife page in your area they can probably help you find one. Hope it's a mild injury and she'll be back to her old self soon. The yard looks great. I really like the wood and rocks. Reminds me of what I see at national parks.
I am so glad you posted. I just discovered the most interesting tree in our yard. I knew the flowers were unique and gorgeous but I had not had the time while it was blooming to look it up. But, then I noticed that the leaves literally changed before my eyes right before a storm and had to look it up. It is called a Mamosa or silk tree. It is gorgeous and easy to grow with plenty of rain and direct sunlight. I didn't know if you might be interested but I thought you would at least find this interesting. The leaves curl up literally with in a few minutes when a storm is coming. It is the coolest thing to see.
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 Oh it is! The flowers are gorgeous and its Japanese!. It would look beautiful in some of your areas while it is small but can grow about 30 feet. But it is beautiful tree when blooming and exciting to watch before rain storms! It would make a good video! Have a wonderful week!
Hi Jody, you made me hot with that hair down pulling those rocks, but it came out so nice. Love the walkway. The closest I’m getting to fresh flowers is your video. Thank you so much..
In Australia we have a weed mat that we lay before adding wood chips. It stops all weeds. The cardboard works for a bit but eventually weeds will come through. Weed mat reduces work to never have to weed again. I would recommend you check it out for future jobs.
We laid down weed mats (we call it weed barrier) 2 years ago in all the beds in the front. Worked great for about 18 months. Now the weeds are coming through. I personally would never use weed barrier again because it doesn’t last long, it doesn’t break down and it’s nearly impossible to get it all up once you’ve covered it with mulch or wood chips. The previous owner had also put weed barrier all over the yard and I have weeds galore 😂😂 With cardboard I might have to replace every couple of years but it breaks down and enriches my soil. You must have different options in Australia if it stops the weeds long term ❤️
It's been a few months, Iv missed you. The back woods is coming to life, it looks beautiful. I kept telling myself everyday, I need to watch A Jodi video, you always cheer me up with your positive attitude. Ugggg, I've been nursing our doggo since around July 8th, it's been 1 thing after another, She was hospitalized with liver failure for about 5days, Yes,I was literally sick with worried, her chief enzymes are coming down from the 2,000 mark she was at. Anyways, I know your videos are about life as it is, So,I'm gonna go ahead and throw this out there. Jodi, I and the Dr's have no idea what's happened to her toxicity vs. this vs.that. I've been educating myself as much as possible on what I think could have happened to her, 1 of the articles I read in the Merke vetinary manual was about MUSHROOMS, I heard you say, you had mushrooms in your yard, Please make sure they are not poisonous, our Abby is a Labrador with an unsationable appetite, if the mushrooms we had growing were poisonous, it's a good possibility she ate them. Just wanted to give you a heads up
U can place steel wool in the squirrel hole by the house. Use wasp spray on wood chip pile. We carry wasp spray in our car as self defense. And u can spay your new pathways with a mixture of wster vinagar and salt to stop anything trying to grow on it.
Hi Jodi, i talk to you while watching your videos. Lol. My husband thinks i am nuts. I do the same thing at an old cemetery, i have worked on, thinking i can upright a gravestone that has fallen over. They are a lot heavier than they look, just like your rocks. 7 years ago i could do it, now i cant. Loving your yard and flowers. God bless.
Just love the pathways.❤ flowers as always look great, sorry for Dahlias🤔not sure what’s up, mine haven’t bloomed yet as well. Poor sweetie, she’ll heal in time. Lookin good kid.😉
😂😂. I talk to myself while working all the time. It’s a sign of intelligence I say 🤪. I think the yellow jackets are on your wood chip pile because of the sap from the fresh cut wood.
If you do watch a channel called Jess, you have to watch. She has a beautiful garden and she uses logs and all different materials to line her borders. Everything is looking beautiful.
At the beginning of summer, I requested free wood chips from two different tree companies. My husband is really looking forward to receiving two trucks full of wood chips lol.
Dahlias new location needed. Or try building a "berm" to plant them in to keep them above the water standing areas. Congratulations on all the improvements.
Oh poor Sweetie. I would have made a little place for her with a bed ,food,and water. Telling my husband that “she needs me”. I’m a sucker for all animals 🤓 Your garden is beautiful and the new pathways are awesome. Hope Sweetie gets better soon. 🐿️Heather
You could definitely edge the side of the walk way with the wood. That would look so great. 💖 Edited got to the end it looks Fabulous Just goes to show working an area at a time really works. Well done. Looking forward to see the next bed. 💖
I am finally cleaning out my garage. I got to throw away my husband's old mustang seats for the mustang we sold 4 years ago. I can finally walk through the garage unimpeded.
We don't have chip drop where I live, but we live in a logging town and when the processing companies have extra ends of wood or wood chips they put them out at the side of the road for the locals to pick up for free.
Our bedroom remodel is finally finished! What should have cost us $50 for a second gallon of paint and taken 2 days ended up taking 6 weeks and $700.00! The hardwood floor under our 1980’s mauve carpet had water damage beyond repair so we installed a new laminate floor. It took longer then normal because my husband had another Pickleball injury to his knee 2 days before we started our project! 🙄 We are so happy with the results but dang this one about did me in!😁
I think the log and rock border is unique looking. I would keep it. While you were doing that I had an idea!!! 💡 what if you placed them in Morse code and spelled out something.... like a I love you❤
Absolutely love the new paths! So pretty! That chip drop would be great to cover the area around the kids’ jungle gym area. Those grand babies would love that!
The rocks and logs together look fantastic. You've worked so hard and your garden is looking so lovely.
Thank you so much Lisa 🤗
Love the paths, well done! Using the stones and logs was so smart. The chips will settle in and decompose, so you can layer them thicker than you might think.
The pathways look enchanted with all the natural elements. So dang pretty!
Thank you. I just love them ❤️

You and the hubster are really transforming your yard. I like his idea on little fence on other side too.
Always enjoy your videos. I look forward to them each week.

Thank you Mary 🤗 she’s moving around well on 3 legs ❤️
It looks great Jodi! I hope that sweetie is going to be okay. 🙁🙏
I hope so too Paula! Saw her this morning and she seemed good but still limping

I hadn't considered "decluttering" outside, but you have done an excellent job. Isn't it marvelous to see the fruit of your labor?
It really is! So much work and so rewarding ❤️
Your yard is getting prettier each year! Love the flowers in front especially.
Thank you Jenn 🤗
Hi Jodie , garden looks great. We had my father in laws funeral yesterday, was a beautiful celebration of his life. My rose bushes are blooming like mad. We had a good rain storm so next job is to dead head them x
Looks beautiful. I hope sweetie heals completely!!
Everything looks so good!! And I'd kill for those rocks! Glad you're embracing them. Great work!
Thank you Tracy 🤗🤗
It looks so fantastic, so glad you were able to save money with the free chips. Have a great weekend Jodi 😊!
Thanks so much Sheree ❤️
Oh my gosh I love the paths! They do make a huge impact!!!! The logs and rocks are great
Thank you so much Steph. So happy with how they turned out ❤️
Wow! The wood chip paths look so great! I really like how it all pulled together nicely!
Your yard is really taking shape. It's a lot of work but so gratifying.
Love how it turned out, great job! Leave the logs and rocks combo, looks so good like that.
Thanks so much Jennifer 🤗
Your gardening never fails to amaze me. I look forward so much to your videos. Thank you for sharing your excitement about your green thumb!
Hello from another Michigan resident !! I am from here born and raised ! I'm from the "Mid Michigan " or Tri City area .... Love what you've done to your yard with the pathways 😊
Thank you so much Andrea ❤️
I love the rock and wood border! Very woodsy and natural!
Thank you Cherie ❤️
looks great your pathway and the back yard is very nice hard work but worth it
Wow. I wrote a lot but utube deleted it again. Ugh.
Chip pile.... suggestion: load and move in the rain. Then spread out afterwards.
Everything looks good. Logs+ rocks = parks do that same setup around curved pathways often.
Great cage for sunflower seems to help a lit.
Squirrel: DON'T BRING IT INSIDE ...trust me. Please.
Zinnias looking good. 🦋 Good.
Patio: at end of season many places have those on clearance. Get what you can, store in shed until ready to use. Mix + match = unique patio design!
Yellow jackets attracted to "rotting wood" or shred piles for nest building.
Im hanging out & working on exercises for mobility improvements of elbow/arm. That's it. 😆
Wow Jodi! You are a rock star!! Super progress and the hubs is a power house moving those rocks! Great vision for the pathways, love it!
What a great big difference. I love the look. Hope sweety is ok😊
Thank you Judene ❤️
The rocks would look nice around in your plants where there is some bald spots. You need to have a weed eater. You could get all those weeds cut back in no time. Cut all the small trees down and weed eat and then you could mow that area. Would look so good.
Wow! That path is going to look beautiful when you finish. You have done a magnificent Job. All your hard work has paid off..m!!
Thank you Jackie 🤗
I can listen to all day talk about your garden...I love the way its coming out...an the fact you do what you say your gonna do an it comes out looking better than expected.. I am just in love with how it's going..from where u came from...❤
It is looking amazing! Love the walkways and the wood branches between the rocks for a boarder trim was a good call. Your hard work is paying off! Prayers for Sweetie
Thanks so much Sharon 🤗
lol sunflower -squirrel as in your attention- also I need to look into wood chips good idea
Since I'm unable to get chip drop and they got rid of the county place we could pick up wood chip mulch or finished compost from it, I buy fine pine bedding shavings from tractor supply. Goes way further than mulch from a place like Lowes and also doesnt have a bunch of dyes and chemicals since it is supposed to be pet bedding.
Jodi, love your videos! If you pull the mulch away a few inches away from your plants, that may help.
If you wanted to you could spray paint those wood bits. Also, almost all bugs hate PineSol so I would buy some and put a spray bottle nozzle on it and spray all that mulch stuff. 🤷♀️
Wow amazing job Jodi, I just love those pathways! You did a great job moving the rocks & your hubby helping, that was so sweet of him. I hope you had a great out to dinner with friends! I'm so sorry about sweetie, I hope his leg gets better! There's not much you can do, unless he comes to for help. Even if it's broke it'll take awhile to heal & he'll probably have a limp. But it probably was a sprain. So wish him well & can situp & eat soon! Thanks for sharing your beautiful yard & garden! You've come a long way for sure & it's been amazing! Take care! Love & Hugs!♥️😉🫂🦋🍄🐾🦉♥️📓✏️🧵🪡🧶✨️
What a transformation. I would order another load and give the paths another covering. Cannot believe the changes since you started. Just shows what you can achieve a bit at a time. Hope sweetie recovers soon xx
I love the logs and rocks border. It looks like you're walking along a state forest trail. Maybe The Hubs would like it if you added a log and placed one end on the ground and one end on top of the end of the first one. To give the illusion of having fallen there. Or three logs, two on the bottom and one on top in a pyramid shape. Something more defined might appeal to him more. But I like it however you do it. Looks great!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
OMG!! The path way look great! Now I want to do that in my yard !!
Thank you! Turned out better than I thought it would ❤️
Wow! Amazing! Poor Sweetie. 😢
Thank you Helen. I know! My poor girl. She’s moving around though. I saw he this morning. Still limping
Your yard is looking incredible. Hard work pays off. Poor Sweetie, hope she gets better. Maybe for the walk way by the garage put solar lights, they are getting cheaper this time of year. I like the wood and rock walkway as well, great job & you already had the things for it. No oop for you, sorry your coupon channel.😁 Always enjoy your videos Jodi.🙂
Thanks so much Bobbie ❤️❤️❤️

Looks really nice. Great job 👏
Your yard looks great!😊
What a transformation been following since last year , all coming together very nicely 👍.

Hi Jody, you made me hot with that hair down pulling those rocks, but it came out so nice. Love the walkway. The closest I’m getting to fresh flowers is your video. Thank you so much..

U can place steel wool in the squirrel hole by the house. Use wasp spray on wood chip pile. We carry wasp spray in our car as self defense. And u can spay your new pathways with a mixture of wster vinagar and salt to stop anything trying to grow on it.
Your walkways are looking so good!! Great job!
I love your new pathway. Very creative use of what you have!!
Thank you Bernadette ❤️❤️
Im early! What a great “start” (it’s 1pm) to my day
Hope your day is fabulous ❤️
We have bought mulch from our city but it’s always full of weeds! Love your pathways❤️❤️
love the walkway! i'm so glad you mentioned the free wood chips. i just ordered some for my backyard. Also love seeing your squirrels. You are so kind
Looking so good Jodi!
Thank you Ardis ❤️❤️
Loved the progress it looks so good! Hope sweetie is ok

Hi Michelle 🤗 thanks so much for being here ❤️
Hi Jodi, i talk to you while watching your videos. Lol. My husband thinks i am nuts. I do the same thing at an old cemetery, i have worked on, thinking i can upright a gravestone that has fallen over. They are a lot heavier than they look, just like your rocks. 7 years ago i could do it, now i cant. Loving your yard and flowers. God bless.
Just love the pathways.❤ flowers as always look great, sorry for Dahlias🤔not sure what’s up, mine haven’t bloomed yet as well. Poor sweetie, she’ll heal in time. Lookin good kid.😉
Hello 👋 from southern Mississippi
Hi Sandy ❤️
I love your new pathway it looks great!!❤
😂😂. I talk to myself while working all the time. It’s a sign of intelligence I say 🤪. I think the yellow jackets are on your wood chip pile because of the sap from the fresh cut wood.
If you do watch a channel called Jess, you have to watch. She has a beautiful garden and she uses logs and all different materials to line her borders. Everything is looking beautiful.
Just recently found her and absolutely LOVE her videos. I’ve been binge watching her the last few days. Her garden is so pretty ❤️
It is Looking so GOOD!!!!
I bought wire trash cans to cover my plants. My dogs love to eat anything nice and fresh.
I am impressed!
You have gone from the woods to a park with those pathways.
Ahhhh thank you ❤️❤️❤️
At the beginning of summer, I requested free wood chips from two different tree companies. My husband is really looking forward to receiving two trucks full of wood chips lol.
Hi Jodie
Dahlias new location needed. Or try building a "berm" to plant them in to keep them above the water standing areas. Congratulations on all the improvements.
Oh poor Sweetie. I would have made a little place for her with a bed ,food,and water. Telling my husband that “she needs me”. I’m a sucker for all animals 🤓 Your garden is beautiful and the new pathways are awesome. Hope Sweetie gets better soon. 🐿️Heather
Heather yes!! I’m a sucker for animals too ❤️
She seems to be moving around quite well so that makes me feel better 🐿️
Does your town give away free mulch/compost? When they collect the leaves in the fall, they usually have it ready in spring at a town facility.
Hi, first time viewing from Jax Arkansas
Welcome 🤗
You could definitely edge the side of the walk way with the wood. That would look so great. 💖
Edited got to the end it looks Fabulous
Just goes to show working an area at a time really works. Well done. Looking forward to see the next bed. 💖
I saw the notification from your channel and I thought oh oh. 😅❤❤
I am finally cleaning out my garage. I got to throw away my husband's old mustang seats for the mustang we sold 4 years ago. I can finally walk through the garage unimpeded.
Oh my gosh yay Barbara. That’s such a great feeling 👏👏❤️❤️
We don't have chip drop where I live, but we live in a logging town and when the processing companies have extra ends of wood or wood chips they put them out at the side of the road for the locals to pick up for free.
That’s awesome Vara ❤️
Our bedroom remodel is finally finished! What should have cost us $50 for a second gallon of paint and taken 2 days ended up taking 6 weeks and $700.00!
The hardwood floor under our 1980’s mauve carpet had water damage beyond repair so we installed a new laminate floor. It took longer then normal because my husband had another Pickleball injury to his knee 2 days before we started our project! 🙄
We are so happy with the results but dang this one about did me in!😁
I used old roof shingles. There isn’t anything growing throw that!
Hi Jodi 👋 going to watch now 😀
Hi Edie 🤗
Hi Edie 🤗
❤
I think the log and rock border is unique looking. I would keep it. While you were doing that I had an idea!!! 💡 what if you placed them in Morse code and spelled out something.... like a I love you❤
Thank you Alicia ❤️
There's a lot of wildlife or specifically squirrel rehabilitators in the states, Google or call a local vet/humane society/aspca for a contact
I talk to myself when I have to get up from a sitting position when my back and knee is stiff and painfull
