It's been about a year since I first discovered your channel! I started watching after my baby was born, while I was sitting on the couch feeding him and holding him while he napped. Now he's a little over a year and I run around after him 😂 Hooray for a wonderful season of gardening, growth, and harvest! As always, your enthusiasm and can-do attitude put a smile on my face.
Thank you Sonya ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh the toddler phase is just the best and exhausting 😂
The little black thing on your sunflowers is the original seed husk that it germinated from!!! 🙂 xxx
Ahhhh I thought it looked like a seed
Ooh that's cool!
Next time you go to the store grab a bar of fels naptha. Use it to shower after working outside and it will remove all oils from poison ivy and oak. It’s cheap and works. Gardeners and have been using it for a very long time
I have followed your channel since you started and I absolutely LOVE your garden clean up content! This year I finally have my own garden! Me and my husband have been cleaning up leaves and burning yard waste every weekend this spring. We live in Sweden and right now the lilacs, apple blossoms and lily of the valley are blooming in our garden ❤️
Maybe put a few pavers thru the bed for Clarky to use as a path?
Hi Jodi! What about moving your hostas that are out in the wooded area that the deer are eating to a bed closer to your house? They are easy to move, it’s not too late yet and could be a free ooomph up to your beds closer to the house plus deer would probably not come that close to your house. Then maybe put some of your shade tolerant annuals around the hostas and your beds would instantly look fuller. Loving all your plant growing content and watching your yard coming together!😊
Yes the deer don’t bother the ones by my house or garage so that’s a great idea. Of course I’m nervous to do that since I’ve never dug up a plant outdoors 😂
for the flower bed by the back porch - i think those like ground covering plants - like clovers or creeping thyme, just look up ground cover plants. would look fantastic! it would help with weeds, it would cover the dirt, and its also fine if clark steps on it! and its usually low maintenance and does well in droughts
Clarky is so darn cute, I would find it impossible to get mad at him. ❤
Jo it is impossible 😂
Lady love your videos, You make me laugh so much 😂.Say hi to Clarkie
I love the half whiskey barrel look. I have a number of them that resemble wood. Four sit over the septic tank area so that they can be planted and moved if need be...The small ones on my deck have geraniums in them, as well as sweet potato vine and a blue flowered plant. I put flags in those. Enjoy yours!
Yay!! You have gorgeous wild trilliums!! They are so pretty & a lovely flower, Jodi! I grew up with these in our woods! ❤I love all the wonderful work you are doing & your flower beds will be so pretty!! ❤
I am from the south. Our sausage balls (at least around where I live) are made with Neeses Sausage, bisquick, and shredded sharp or medium cheddar. Mix make into balls and bake. OMG! Delicious! You can added onions etc and it's a very flexible basic recipe but, good just as is or add what you like. It's also great for kids breakfast on the go!
That’s how I make them but with a spicy sausage. I need to start making a double batch going forward because they are always gone ❤️
What a task to clean up your big back yard 👏. I used to clean a 3/4 acre yard years ago and I loved doing it ! But I live in an apartment now and I miss it..but couldn't do it anymore. Hope your Mothers day was great!😊❤
Thank you Irene ❤️
It’s a very pretty weed. We have to tie our long sticks together, the trash guys will take them in Denver. Don’t you love the trash men.👏 Someone probably planted the babies breath as a ground cover. I like sunflowers, I didn’t plant any last year but some came back anyway. They can get huge but my neighbor has small, multiple flowers ones, very pretty. My yard is getting horrible since I haven’t been out there because of my knee, surgery is June 10. But watch out summer of 2025 unless I get the other knee done.😳 You did great in the yard. Love your obsession with plants. The food looks great! My mom always called it beating the system to do things beforehand. Thank you for this video Jodi!😘
Oh Jodi, you're doing wonderfully well with your plants inside & outside. I hope you can get all your plants planted! It'll be fun watching you clean up & design your backyard. Clarke is so cute & fun watching him have so much energy! We have a plant like your new one. It has the slipt leaves. It's a little sick. My husband took it outside & watered real good & kind of clean it out. We've had it for 24yrs. It was a housewarming gift when we moved into our house. It was a very nice gift! But it's had its ups & downs through the years. So I hope it comes out of it. My husband put some new potting soil in the plant, so we'll see what happens! I might have to try your recipes! Thanks for sharing! ♥️☺️🫂🦉🐾🌹🍄🦋🌺✨️
You can dig and transplant the lilies or give them away if you want. They are tough plants for sure!
Jodi...You could try Sunflower Little Becka...a small sunflower that grows only three feet high in the deck flower bed. No whisk on eggs as they get caught in the beaters and clump up and make me gag. I don't eat eggs. Just a fork please. I know i'm quirky. 😂 I love my little cheese grater. Belated Happy Mother's Day to you as well.
Looking good Jodi. Praying all of your flowers continue to germinate strong. Its going to be exciting to see them grow, Ty for sharing
Jodi, Your summer flowers are doing so well! This will be a fun gardening summer for you!!🕶️🌱🌞💚
Hi Jodi…looking forward to seeing the backyard transformation. You worked so hard last year…you deserve to have your pretty backyard! To keep deer and rabbits from eating your hosta plants, they sell a deer and rabbit repellent spray. I spray in the spring, and the deer don’t touch them anymore.
I'm so excited to see how your yard turns out! I would plant some perennials in both front and back porch beds. Here's some full sun ideas: coneflowers, peonies, yarrow, cat mint, Verbena, Veronica. I'm not sure if all of these would work in your zone, but they're my favorite perenneals so I thought I'd share! You can also plant perennials in the fall!
I would plant some small green shurbs up around the porch for a background for all the colorful flowers. I also love Hostas that come back year after year.
Oh my gosh! you have trillium!!! That is awesome to see everything uncovered it is a lovely surprise for you!
Pat it’s crazy the things I’ve discovered since we started cleaning up ❤️
Feel blessed, Trillium is a wildflower that is endangered since 1988 and if messed with it will never come back.
They are so pretty!! I’ll be very careful when cleaning up around them ❤️
Lol I just seen the grandpa weeder on a commercial. I have it in my Amazon cart but I'm going to wait and see what you think!
Hello hello hello! Starters looking good. You're such an inspiration for doing my outside work
I have been working on my garden so I can get everything I started out into it .I made bread pudding for mother's day and shared it on my channel. And I have some house projects to get done.
You are such a great person. I love your videos and love the recipes you shared. I love learning new one! ❤❤
Happy belated Mothers Day Jodi. Love the backyard cleanup videos. Maybe those small fence pieces will be enough to keep Clarke out of the beds while the flowers are still babies. Its a little more of a visual deterrent for him. He does like to "help" you so much. 😂
Sue that’s a great idea and might work. Plus they have cute one ❤️
Yes he’s a big helper pulling my garden tools into the yard and everything 😂
I’ve been working on the yard for days now. Almost cleaned and planted
Hi, Jodi! Hope you had a great Mothers Day. I did! Just a suggestion. Where your hostas are I saw a whole between them. Looks like some thing made a home. I would fill it in with dirt so they won’t make it a home. Love your garden. It’s so pretty and coming along great. Hugs from your Michigan neighbor. P.S. my birthday is this Friday. I will be 76 yrs young! 👍🌷🌷🌷💜💜💜🥰
Sharon it’s the darn chipmunks. We already filled it and they dug it again🤦♀️
Oh my gosh happy birthday on Friday. I hope you have the best birthday 🥳🥳
I so enjoy all your videos!!! All your plants are really doing great. I cannot wait to see the transformation of the back yard!! I’m late but I hope you had a great Mother’s Day.!
Glad you had a Happy Mother’s Day 💐 Jodi! 😊
You have a lot of shade in the back yard. I would do some hostas and some of your annuals you started in the garden area. Maybe do some of the ferns out in the trees. I think that would look nice. ❤ What difference from the beginning. Great job!
Oh yes ferns would look great in the back. I used to have them at our first house and loved them ❤️
My favourite "season" of your RUclips channel is back!! Yaaaay!! ❤❤
Yes that tool works excellent. Plants look great
Happy Mother's day ❤😊
Jolie the trillium is the flower of Ontario, Canada and is protected in our provincial parks. They come in several colours. I would not remove them but build your gardens using them.
I’m not going to remove them. They are so pretty ❤️
I'm currently going down the rabbit hole on deer resistant slow growing flowering perennials. I can't go through the effort of planting annuals. The yard clean up is difficult enough for me.
Have you considered sucking up the leaves instead of blowing them? Then you could also use them as your mulch. Maybe Clark would leave that alone.
I grew sunflowers last year for the first time and seeds got all over and came up this spring on their own so I’ve been digging them up and transplanting them and I think I’ve only lost one that was pretty small and not looking amazing to begin with. Going off my experience I think all or at least most of yours will be fine to transplant!
Oh that’s good to know. Thanks for sharing that Amanda. I really want to direct sow some but I’m afraid all the chipmunks, squirrels and birds will get the seeds 😂
U could always try landscaping rock in the back yard. My dogs also messed with mulch so I did rock and they don't mess with it
Yes that’s a great idea ❤️
All those Hostas tht are scattered out. I would put them in flower beds by the deck. Maybe you can do tht next yr. Before they sprout out
Yes they would look pretty by the deck and a better chance of not being eaten
My husband just got that same shredder for making different kinds of coleslaw that he likes to make! He loves it.
It’s such an awesome kitchen tool ❤️❤️
Maybe try to think of something to make a border on the edge of your deck so Clark is more apt to go to the steps instead of through your flowers.
Great idea ❤️
You should totally do one of those chaotic flower beds, I can’t remember the exact name, where you get a bunch of different flower seeds, mix the together and then plant them all together. I feel like you would absolutely love it
That sounds fun❤️
I have the old electric salad shooter. I’ve only ever used it to shred cheese. Still works.
Yay that’s awesome Kristine ❤️
The deer have been munching on my hostas! *sigh*. My neighbors (who have dogs) said the deer were all over our yards a couple of nights! Guess I need to share my plants! I just bought flowers to plant, in pots, and I am very excited! You’re doing a great job and I can’t wait to see you backyard transformation! Have an amazing week!
My 12 year old son and I started our garden a couple of weeks ago. We went to Walmart to pick out the flowers that we wanted to plant. We kept going back to the petunias but instead of saying petunia, he kept calling them placentas.😂😂 He was so embarrassed when I told him what a placenta was.
We planted Sunflowers too. I was reading about them and learned that they stunt the growth of other plants near them.
I so enjoy how happy you are to talk about your garden/backyard and your plants. Keep up the good work. I live in a condo, so I'm living my garden through you. God bless you. ❤
Oh my gosh kids do say the darndest things 😂 how wonderful to garden with him ❤️
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 I know, I'm cherishing it. Only a couple months until he is a teen! Hopefully he will stay my sweet young man!! 🤞
Great video. Thank you for sharing. You truly motivate me everytime I watch your videos 🙂
I'm going to try your french toast casserole! It looks great.
It was really good ❤️
I wish I had your green thumb! 😮everything is looking great 😊
Thanks so much Elaine ❤️
I was just searching my house for what was beeping, then realised it's coming from your house 😂
😂
I was with you last year when you were working in the back yard.💚💛❤️
Hope you had a great Mothers Day and your recipes are great...
Love your hair!!!!!!
Hi hope you have a good week, great video as usual x
One more item sent to your PO Box for your birthday! Don't worry, not perishable. No rush. Enjoy!!
Oh my gosh Holly!! Thank you. My little pink splash plant has perked right up. She is so darn pretty. Only took a couple of days and everything is standing up straight and looks beautiful ❤️❤️ I love it so much
❤❤❤😊 love u, u r so positive person 😊
I cant wait to see how the backyard comes out!! Last year, you were out there like every day it felt like. Just getting some of that vitamin D, getting that work out in just pulling up so many weeds, vines, and leaves. OMG. It's such a dramatic change!!! I can't wait to see you start planting flowers!!! :D
It did feel like everyday 😂 I’m sure this year will be much of the same. But we did get a lot done last year ❤️
@jodidunnmymessylife1847 I can't wait!!!! I'm living vicariously through you because I'll never be able to own a house nor a yard in my lifetime, but at least I can see what it'd be like :}
Nice 😊 yard is looking so much better
❤️❤️❤️
Happy Mother’s Day. I’m so excited for you. Your plants look amazing. I can’t wait to try your recipes 🌸🩵🌸🩵🌸🩵
Hi Jody, try Sally Jessie Rafael’s “Stuffed French Toast” . She served this dish at her Bed and Breakfast. That’s how long I’ve been making this dish. it’s very easy and delicious.
I got the hand rakes on your recommendation and LOVE them!! Thank you for the suggestion!
Yay Lisa. I wouldn’t be without mine ❤️
Happy Mother's Day Jodi!
Omg, your yard is a dream ❤
Hi sweetie! Working along aide with you!
Your yard is going to be beautiful! Looking forward to seeing t in a few months!
Hi Jodi! I kept seeing that grandpa weeder on IG too and whenever I see it I remember you 😂 well look at that happy you got it 🤪
💯 Fork
Gosh you work so hard...wonderful job❤
Do you like your dictionaries if you do send them out and put them in your other flower bed that you just cleaned out.
Have a small yard but doing a flower and fairy garden. Im also putting it on my RUclips channel.
Sounds fun.
Nice work Jodi😊
Watching you at the end showing all your new plants coming up and all I’m thinking about is that fruit and French toast dish 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤ I need to try this
It was really good Sharon 😍
We love outside cleanup
Kay one of the best gifts I’ve ever received!!! Thank you. I use the heck of those sleeves ❤️
Instead of pulling out your weeds do the lasagna method. Lay down plain cardboard then get it wet this is your weed barrier. Then lay down your top soil/compost. Lastly add in your mulch on top. You don’t have to add the mulch it helps keep the soil moist though.
Jean I really don’t want to buy a lot of soil 😂
I did buy some though but the deck area soil is good
I love my wisk
❤️
I love to watch open packages of live plants. There sites where you can get subscriptions of plants. Plus they point toward plants pet friendly.
Your yard is looking great. Places where you had leaves for years the soil should be really good.
Woman the yellow jackets on a branch close to the ground. I had that issue once oh it was the terrible stings. My feeling if they would have flown by me when I was getting too close. I would went oh I will get out of the way. I would let them be. No the got me so I has to get rid of them.
Again I am walk the yard. Today I got home I walked half front had my brush killing spray. Dang hackberries.
Sometime when I am working in the yard I say 2 leaf bags. I listen to podcasts or music.
Always have a battle line. I worked on the dang speargrass. I made an invisible line. Everything on this side is weeded other side I working on. So I slowly make it across the yard. However I checked the area weeded for new weeds. Right now I can walk out show you where the line is. Plus feel good about where the speargrass is removed. Yes yes yes there hierarchy of weeds. There are code red ones dandelions, sticky weed, Johnson grass and Dallas grass. Me and sticky weed oh it spreads so easily, fast grower. I am out there with grocery bag putting it the trash. If I think it poison ivy I will get a grocery bag. Dang birds poo poison ivy seeds in the yard. Get it when it small.
Gamble gamble gamble.
You are doing great one bag of leaves at a time. Like me today fighting with hackberries and honeysuckle. If the honeysuckle was not right up by the exterior walls I would let it grow. Nope I am keep grasses and plants away. No termites.
One more tip. Fire ants. First moved into house fire ants everywhere. Treated each pile. Then made property line war zone. I put treatment end of property line therefore neighbors fire ants would not move in.
All this takes time. The battle lines help me I know where I been and it looks good. I know where I am going. I will get there.
Never will be garden magazine yard. Nope. I like keep the neighbors wondering what is she doing. Look she removing leaves out street gutter. She came home nope she not getting them leaves up. 😊
Love these videos Jodi!!!
Thank you Linda 🤗
I got the hand rakes finally after watching you use them. I love them! I do not prefer leaf blowers either.
Molly I’m so happy you love them. They are definitely a handy tool for picking up leaves ❤️
Did you ever keep a tally of total number of yard waste bags filled from last year?! The amount of leaves seems unending 😆 keep up the great work!
Yes I sure did. Since I didn’t finish it’s going to be a 2 year tally 😂
There's no big hurry to get them planted out. They still have plenty of room to grow and have their Roots growing. Just think about the size of the plants that you buy at the nursery. You're fine and don't need to rush.
That makes sense. Thank you. I think I get impatient to get flowers in the ground 😂
Hey Jodi. It’s a beautiful day in Texas today. We’ve had a lot of rain so the sunshine looks good.
Yay for sunshine Debbie 🌞
I've had the weeder in my cart for awhile. So glad you are going to review it! 😉
I’ll definitely show it in my next video. It should be here tomorrow. I hope it works as good as what they show on the videos 🤞
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember moving 1 of the many times I moved as a kid my mom had 50 plants we had to move I think we had more plants then stuff
Oh my gosh that’s a lot of plants to move
Your hair looks cute pulled back as in Intro.
Oh Jodi I'm feeling your poison ivy pain!! I've been pulling it off my fence for 20 years with no reaction to it at all, ever. UNTIL... now, I am having a terrible reaction, it's been 2 weeks today since I touch it and I'm still covered with rashes and still so dang itchy it's driving me crazy! So sorry you also just went through this as it's no joke for sure. In case you don't know if Clarkie walks through it, gets the oil on him and you pet him you will get it. He will not get it but he can carry it. BTW Clarkies hair cut is adorable! I just ordered the Grandpa tool but haven't gotten to use it, stuck inside due to the poison ivy, but can't wait to try it out. Please share if you find anything that kills your poison ivy please. Hope you have a great day! 😊
Oh no Janetta! I tried every home remedy and finally had to go to the doctor. Mine took a good month to clear up with the steroids. I sure hope you feel better soon 🙏🙏
Poison ivy is so hard to get rid of!! I hired a company last year so I know it’s way better but I’m sure it’s still lurking in the yard
@jodidunnmymessylife1847 Oh wow, Jodi, that's a long time. But I think I'm going to be that long as well. It's been two weeks, and I'm still breaking out, much less but still having new blisters daily. Both arms, one leg and upper chest, covered in blisters at a couple of stages of healing. The itch, oh my the itch is like no other, isn't it? I'm so sorry you went through this as well. You're so brave to be reaching in places you can't see everything, I'm not sure my bravery to do that will return, lol.
I'll be talking to the company we use to spray our yard for bugs and see if they can help to get it gone. Poison ivy is truly the devil, lol. I'm so glad you're doing better, and you're back outside. I'm so ready to be doing the same. Jodi, thanks for your videos. It's always a joy to watch them. Take care!
An Google what burrys it's self in mountain of dirt...or under stuff...I for got what they are but they live in stuff like that...I seen it on you tube to...
Hi Jodi 👋 my carpet removal has begun. As I must sit on a folding chair to do stuff, it's a long term project. 😂 So far just a 2'x3' + a 2'x2' section so far.
More plants. Yay! Good for your air. Especially inside. 😅
Do you have a fire pit in the back yard? That would take care of those branches too large for the bags...
Many invasive weeds are still being sold as flowers. In some parts of the country they are killing the naive wildflowers.
Hostas. Yes. I remember.
Wild trillium are a rare native!!!
It's more likely hubby has been stashing branches there like the boxes & trash in the shed. 😆
Edit... Seedlings looking great. Mother's day was celebrated the day before after Shabbat celebration.... Really nice there. None of my kids attended but that's ok. It was a good day anyway.
If you'd like to see what I did for mother's day, let me know and I'll email you a few fotos. 😂
Both of those "breakfast casseroles look good but can't have them. Sadly. I've started a dairy break. Lol.
Your bearded iris's look amazing!!!
I'm glad you got to enjoy your mother's day!
I'm sorry you didn't see your children on Mother's Day!! I hope you had a wonderful day and got to do something for yourself!!
@@cori7209 my son was working. And yes. I worked on removing carpet that makes me ill from in front of the air exchange. Found old hardwood underneath. Removed the mold and dirt buildup from the previous renters and found out there had been 2 leaked...in the linen closet opposite and the attic access above... Mineral deposits from our hard water showed the path and pooling areas. Looks much better now. I'm breathing better, too.
People don't realize how much carpets trap dirt and mold. Those mold spores getting sucked into air intake means it comes from every vent In the house.
I guess to you that doesn't seem like doing something for myself? But my asthma definitely is much better. So it is. 😆
I refuse to spend my time moaning about other's actions. I can still get something done. That makes it truly a blessing having the time to myself.
Thank you for caring.
The Mainer Mom spoke in her video today on plants that deer don’t like and showed them to us- check it out cause I can’t remember the names.
I love Karen’s channel ❤️
Lol, soon you are going to be looking pretty boho in your decor with all these plants. Lol.
I know right. They seem to be multiplying 😂
Unfortunately after having poison ivy and having such a bad reaction you will probably be much more reactive to other things now. I have dealt with this stuff my whole life and as I have grown older it has gotten worse. Love your videso. TFS
That’s what I was thinking. So no matter what now I’m going to have to have sleeves on
Would you please add a link to your cheese grater gadget?
Love to see your yard shaping up already this year! Hope you don't need the bee suit this year but you look so cute in it!😂.
Sharon I don’t know what’s wrong. I’ve added a whole thing to the description box twice (including the link to the cheese grater) and it keeps deleting it 🤷♀️
I just added it again so hopefully you can see it
The Trillium is the official provincial flower of Ontario Canada
It’s beautiful ❤️
Jodi I have beautiful hosta around my deck but I have these nasty slugs that have an all you can eat buffet on them at night and they look horrible by July. I’ve tried all the tried and true…sługgo, coffee grounds,egg shells, foil, and beer. Nothing helps. My last ditch effort is diatomaceous earth. Just wondering if you or any viewers have any other suggestions.
Table salt or epsome salt in a circle around the plant. Salt will literally melt slugs!
@@sharonnorvell3397 Thank you. Have you tried this? How much and do you have to put it daily and do you put it out before dark or it doesn’t matter? Sorry for all the questions.
Sunflowers dont do that they have a very shallow root . They need sun and will reseed in that area next year.
Cosmos get pretty tall and might keep puppy face from tramping through the garden.
Yes that’s true ❤️
🌱🪴❤️
This might sound weird but you have really pretty teeth!!😊
Thank you. I spent many years with braces and head gear so I take that as a huge compliment ❤️
Trilliums turn pinkish purple when they get past their prime.
