It’s incredible how much your garden has changed in just one year and it is looking spectacular ❤ You are a rock star and I’m so glad you now have Jason helping you full-time. You make a great team 😊
So very true, just spectacular , colour, variety of blooms and more.😍😍👏👏👌
I hope that you and Jason are able to step back and appreciate all the beauty that you have created in less than a year. The transformation is nothing less than remarkable. Your hard work and eye for design is paying off. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and love of .gardening🌸😀🇺🇸.
I think your garden looks incredible for only being a year old. You and Jason are doing a great job. I love it.
Laura Garden Answer and you Janie are two very dedicated Gardner I have ever watched, keep it up, keep inspiring us ❤
Silver bush morning glory (Convolvulus cneorum) blooms once per year from spring to early summer, at the same time as your star jasmine. The rest of the year, it's a fantastic foliage plant that can withstand the most brutal heat. I grow them in here Las Vegas, where today's high will be 117! Over time, it will develop a woody understructure and deep blue-green foliage on the older parts of the plant with metallic-silver new growth frosting the tips. Your patience will be rewarded with a truly gorgeous display next year and I can't wait to see your reaction!
I can't believe no one's ever mentioned it but your front yard is a leech field. The big flat Rock covers your access point to your holding tank. The last thing you ever want to do is put a watering system or sprinklers on top of your leach field or any kind of plant that has long extending roots. Just trying to warn you before your back feel your septic.
You don’t just have a green thumb, you have green fingers and toes! I love all your plant and color combinations❣️🇨🇦
Oh your zigzag planter is stunning! It looks like a ball gown flowing over the ground. 🏆
Yes I agree too just gorgeous 💐
So educational to follow along as you grow your garden!!
Thank you for the great tour! I love following you. I live in zone 9, Alabama's Gulf Coast. We are hot, but very wet and humid. It is amazing how different the same zone can be.
White Pillar rose of Sharon. - gorges. , but who sale?? And Bush Clematis “ Stand by me Lavender”. Wow.
Your July front garden tour, showcasing the vibrant colors, amended soil, and effective rodent control, highlights your dedication and expertise in creating a thriving, beautiful garden. Your passion for gardening is truly inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life
Beautiful and colourful 🥰🥰
Janey, your garden looks awesome! Question: have you considered eventually having the driveway next to the orchard and in front of the zig-zag planters removed? It seems like a lot of driveway and I bet it would look so much more natural and lush if you planned to remove that part eventually. I know cost is a consideration, but I also think you’re very good at thinking about long-term goals. You and Jason should be so proud of what you’ve already accomplished in less than a year! 😮
I’d like to see you grow pride of Gibraltar in your Mediterranean garden.
It’s amazing how much you accomplished in such a short time! So beautiful!
Beautiful! It's amazing how far you have come in a year! Look forward to see the change in the next! ❤M
Janey, your zig zag planter is looking STUNNING!!! We live in a valley against the north side of the rocky mountains, amending with cardboard and compost has been saving us for sure! Our soil is chock FULL of shale, iron heavy, and impossible to dig without an auger. But it's incredibly nutrient-rich, so no-dig amending for the win!
I use gopher gassers to kill those monsters. You can buy them @ Home Depot or Lowe's. Go out early in the morning and look for the newest mound. It will have a horse shoe shaped indentation on the top. Go 6-12" & probe the dirt, you will feel the probe release and you are into the runner. Dig a small hole, light the gasser & put it in the runner. Cover the hole and the smoke will kill the gopher. You will have to work fast because the gopher will be trying to cover it the entrance of the runner. The next morning go out and check & treat again as needed. Your garden is looking amazing and you have accomplished so many things in 1 year, especially with a broken foot.
Flower Garden beautiful.. 🥰🌷💐🌺❤😘🌹😁👍
I have a gopher story for you. My MIL lived in Oklahoma City in the country. She lived alone, and as her dementia got worse, she had to leave her home and be with family in another state. She used to say she heard noises in the bathroom wall, and that her bathroom wall was almost damp. The house was vacant for several months until family put it on the market to sell. The house was cleaned and empty, and ready to sell. A young man purchased the house, and before closing, he did a final walk through with the realtor, where everything was fine. He signed the papers, got the keys and went back to the house. As he walked by the bathroom, he was shocked to see a hole in the bathroom wall with dirt all over the floor. A gopher tunneled under the house, which was built on a slab. There was not concrete around the shower drain under the tub, so he came up through the space, got inside the wall, and scratched or dug his way through the drywall and into the house. The family paid for repairs to the bathroom and the buyer agreed to get rid of the gophers. It was unbelievable, that was a very strange call to get from the realtor. And the poor buyer! I promise the story is 100% true.
Great story, thanks for sharing! 🇨🇦👏
Chinese pistache along the fence/road at the front of the property.
Privacy, stunning fall color some light dappled shade to ease the heat stress on the understory plants
I live in Angwin, CA…( Napa county hills) I believe it’s Zone 9 also…I have a very small full sun garden! But the rodents are voles. They have eaten veggies, zinnias and everything I’ve planted except lavender, allium and salvia. 👎my yard is part of a larger area full of rodents so I don’t think I can kill them. I did plant a fig tree, and I do have an orange rose bush in a container…and some ageratum( lily of the Nile?) I love your yard and it’s fun to have found you❤️I did have a cat and didn’t notice the voles until she died, but my landlord says no pets, so I can’t replace her.❤️👎oh, and Shasta daisies have been growing there too….I love to add gazanias here and there for color, but the voles do eat them too….i haven’t been able to grow lantana or verbena…i dont know WHY..it just dies. It just must get too much water, because my huge lavender plants do get a lot of water.I’ve also unsuccessfully tried jasmine…don’t know what I do wrong? Maybe it’s just too hot.my apartment faces south.
Wow. So beautiful. I do think the sunflower that gets 4 feet would look great on long the fence ❤
I love your garden! Thanks so much for displaying photos of the plant tags it’s super helpful.
Loved this tour Janey! Your garden is amazingly beautiful. 😊
You talked about pulling out your purple fountain grass from the zig zag planter, can that be replanted somewhere else in your garden? It’s just so beautiful! It’s an annual for us here in south Texas zone 9b.
Yeah, once you amend that soil it will be so much better. But looking good for a first year garden!
Hi Janey 🌺 Your garden looks stunning with the amazing colors of it . Pratty plants and trees and you arranged them beautifully . Have awonderful day . 🌺🌻🌺
Why don’t you divide your fountain grass. You can then plant the extras in the garden.
Your best for the West garden is soo beautiful! I live in the Mediterranean so your channel has been so helpful and fun to see your garden grow. Unfortunately I can’t get Proven Winners plants in my country but I still get lots of ideas and inspiration 😅🌸🌸🌸
I love all your videos, since before you moved to the new property!! thank you!
I was wondering if it's too hot for the kitties in a cage, getting very hot, even with a fan. Most get in the grass to cool off, etc... Just a heads up.
I am also an animal lover and feed not only my own 4 pets, but 4+ outside, plus the critters that may find themselves munching on the outdoor kitty food. Possums, ground hogs, racoons and birds! And, i live in a town, not the countryside!
Definitely taking much inspo for your best of the west garden. Hope to find more PW abd plant that this coming fall!
WHERE'S THE MONSTER?! Did I miss it somehow... such a beautiful, colorful garden,I love watching it evolve. Great job❤
I think a circle of monster plants around the propane tank would look awesome with your colors in the zigzag planter😊
I am concerned about how you placed your weeping willow right under a power line, they get huge, and you will need to keep that open.
It doesn't seem possible that you have not been there for a year yet and that you went through two foot surgeries! Janey...you are a rock star! I live for this video each month. I'm hoping to be on your "Share your garden" video next year as I need another year to prepare. I can't wait for the backyard now. HAPPY 4TH!!
I wonder if PW monarda could surpass zone 8 and work in your garden? They have a vivid raspberry variety you would love. It is in the mint family like agastache.
Summer is busy, but did I miss your talk on the new proven winners for 2025? It's after July 1st, thought that was when you could start talking about them. I saw a couple I'm on pins and needles to learn about.
If you’re going to plant Oleanders , please plant on the outside of your fence, they are so poisonous to your pets. They do have beautiful flowers. Your garden looks so beautiful
Janey, what’s going on with the area out by your road where you moved the daffodils? Do you have any other plans for that area? Maybe California natives? or a cluster of Matiliga Poppies along your fence line similar to the field you saw on one of your trips - wouldn’t that look amazing as you approach your home 💚💚💚
I was always turned off by the color on the tag of the Blood Sweat and Tears lilies but yours are really pretty.. I agree with you about the yarrow , very dull color and yes you need a lot more gladiolas. Your mass plantings are very impressive. A little side dress of fertilizer would probably save your strugglers until you can get the soil properly amended.
Janey, your lighter hair color looks so awesome! 🤩 These garden tours are always fun, thanks. ❤
Janey, can’t you put a large container next to the fuchsia plant to help shade it until you decide where to move it to?!
Plant some Ajuga for Monty to pee on ! Very salt tolerant! My daughter’s little dogs come and use it all the time and you’d never know!
Gopher suggestion: what if you cut the bottoms from the PW compostable pots, and plant the plant in the container to protect the rootball?
Thank you for the tour, I really enjoyed it. I will try to find the dwarf Russian Sage for my garden, it looks beautiful. 🌺🌺
A great tour, hope you and the cats get those gophers GONE
The progress of your garden is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! The lessons you've learned are lessons for me, too!!! Love watching your channel!!!!
How about an icee blue podocarpus hedge for the front fence?
About the Gardenmeister Fuchsia, I live 10 miles west of Dallas/ Fort Worth in hot, hot, sticky, humid Texas. And when I have put plants in a spot where they are scorching because they need a little extra shade, I cover them with these black crates I have that only allow half the sun that they've been getting till I can move them to a better location and they can stabilize more. They still get the breeze and pollinators. Maybe this can will help.
I know you love the Zigzag planter now (as do i), just wanted to say, with the dichondra silver falls covering so much of the front, you cant even tell anyway! Anyway, it looks great 😊
My mom puts umbrellas over her plants in the summer in Florida. I was thinking you could do that with the fucshia until you can move it. Your garden is so pretty, you have such good taste. Thank you for all your videos.
Maybe you could put some of the spikey pad things around you Dukebox plants, I think Robbie used the to stop his dogs going into certain areas for a while ( apologies if I’m saying something you’ve already thought of) 🙏🌸
Amending soil is more important than I thought, I really need to work on that, thanks for talking about those types if issues, I learn alot from your videos very informative
You are doing a great job with you garden 🙏👍👏👏👏👏👏
The purple fountain grass do you trim it? I bought two after seeing yours but mine are not in that shape not like a ball…. I’m thinking I have to trim it
I keep wondering watching the videos, why not remove most of the driveway to make more garden space.
The progress is astounding!👏👏👏. A word of CAUTION…I was taking progress photos of a Robin family, and I startled the three babies right out of the nest, probably 2 days before they were to fledge. I was horrified as were the parents!😢. Not sure what became of them as they scattered across the lawn. Needless to say I will NEVER do that again! 🇨🇦🌸😢
Hi Janey and Jason, I just love your channel and content! I'm in zone 7 in Virginia. I don't have a green thumb, but I am trying! We moved into a new house last year that had a forest for a backyard and was completely unattended to for 10 years! After removing trees and stumps we are trying to figure it all out (soil quality, sun patterns). It's inspiring to see how your garden has evolved! Any advice for a newbie? (I also watch Robbie and Jim Putnam!)
Thank you ❤ New to your channel and love love your plant choices and SO much valuable information. I am zone 9 in NZ & hoping I can get some of them here ❤ However I am guessing you have no frosts? We have -1 to -4C.
I think Russian sage, and a bright pink (raspberrry) verbena would be a beautiful combo in your zig-zag planter. Your garden has come a long way in such a short amount of time. ❤️
Somebody tell me please. Where and who sale Russian sage. , never see in any store. Zlata. Florida ( Tadjikistan , Russia , USA)..
Bravo Janey. You’ve done an incredible amount in less than a year. Please come help me when I move to my new property in Auburn. Doing consultations yet? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Following along on your journey. Just a suggestion: Perhaps show a few "before" photos next to the present in order to refresh our memories from the amazing transformation from then to now? Would also be great for your newer subscribers. Just on those panoramic shots would say it all ... "picture is worth a thousand words, after-all". Loving the results of your hard work ... so inspiring!
I agree Janey about filming your garden. I started my channel for that reason, just so I could document (and save) the footage. And it's been very helpful, to refer back to.
Absolutely beautiful gardens. I love seeing the progress. Get a couple "barn cats" that live outside. They are great at keeping the small animals away. My cat brought us 4 gophers this spring that he caught. They keep the squirls, bunnies, mice and gophers under control without digging massive holes ruining plants trying to get at the gophers.
Gorgeous! You have a great eye for beautiful combinations! Would love to see a video showing your future plan for the center garden. Thx so much for sharing your garden journey!
Looking good Janey if I had to pick which zone was my fave it would be truly hard but I’m going with grante pathway not just for the vibrant colors but everything looks so healthy I’m in your zone9b live close by and the heat was brutal I actual lost a hydrenga sad but that just means back to the nursery.
Janey, you have done so much in less than a year and it is looking beautiful. Like you say we all have our ups and down in gardening but keep trying it's ok. I love a garden with colors, not just green.
Hi Janey love ..love.. love your garden ..when you get wood chips dropped off do you worry about possible deseases in the wood chips that can harm you plants ?
at about 11:05... that steel edging corner... really want to do steel edging as well because it looks very nice but worried that it's kind of a hazard... clearly you have overcome that fear, mind letting us know your thoughts on that?
Just wondering about your superbena. This is my first year Growing it and it has been beautiful so far, but I am noticing no blooms right now. So I wondered if I need to cut it back or maybe just fertilize
Fusiah yarrow when the clor fades, its gray looking. I have it. I don't like it. Yellow is better
Some plants in wet areas would need to be trimmed. My flowers are all different from severe drought to extremely wet year this year. Had to pull poppies and shear salvia as they flopped and prevented the area from drying out. Lavender hates being overwatered. You must have very arid climate.
Flowers for dry areas are more rigid and can stand on their own in years of a lot of rain not so much.
Nice garden choices for your dry climate.
Gorgeous. Which plants needed to have gopher baskets? we have lots of gophers and I'd love to try out some of these plants!
Good morning, I have no idea if this will help or work, but I have heard there is a product you can use to get your dog to potty in the place you want him to. If you find the product, please let us know if it works . I wish I knew the name to tell you.
I have the same problem with my soil that you have in the cut flower garden. What type of compost did you use for your 4” in the space you added it?
Can dogs be trained to poop and pee in a certain area in the yard?? Maybe a strip of grass somewhere? Or a fake water hydrant... LOL. Is there a perimeter solution to gophers? How deep do they tunnel? Are there plants that they "hate", or a food source that you have (like grubs) that you can eradicate?
So enjoy seeing your garden journey...
Really appreciate monthly tours. I'm in the early new garden mode.
Jenny your garden is so beautiful I just love it you've done a wonderful job on planting those flowers I just love it love it love it
You talked about building a gazebo in the front yard which would block your front door, what if you built the gazebo in front of the propane tank to hide it, just a thought
gophers? could scare them away with cats, barn owls, snakes or even pythons and alligators
Thanks for this beautiful July tour! No oleander please … poison 😟
You and Robbie always have me running to my garden. So awesome watch you create.
Now that it has almost been 1 yr since you moved in, what do the neighbours think what you have done so fat to the property? 🎉
Nice💕💕💕💕Really wonderful video
Your garden is beautiful! Do you fertilize your salvias?
Curious if you will trim/shorten silver dicondra falls?
That’s funny that the smoke bush is a fire retardant 😂❤
You have the same plants I have in your plants in the west section.
I would love seeds from that, Janey! What a cool plant!
Didn’t you plant a climatic near the front of the house?
Awwww. Robby gave you a weeping willow. You guys are so sweet!
I’m really interested in trying the Homestead Verbena. I didn’t realize it would be a perennial here in NJ? Anyone have experience with growing it here? It looks beautiful!
I’m in Philly suburbs. No, I haven’t tried it but want to.
The garden is simply beautiful!
Love the zig-zag planter colors...really cool things off in the hot weather. And those heliotrope!!
But, I also love those saturated colors...blues with oranges and that lemon coral sedum...wow!!!
I wanted to suggest a plant that I love...Agastache 'Blue Boa " combines well with all colors and has fluffy violet-blue spires that bees and butterflies just love. And the foliage smells like minty root beer. And I can smell the wonderful flowers of verbena lilacina! Another nice Salvia to try is "African Sky" with sky blue flowers and fresh green leaves...new in nurseries this year (found in New Zealand!).
Hopefully, Brian and Cruickshanks will be gopher hunters!! In San Francisco, I plant everything in gopher baskets (I buy them wholesale!)
Janey, how did your bearded iris do for you earlier this year?
Also, can you plant alstroemeria in any of your half-sun areas? Or would those work better for you in containers with drip lines?
Thank you for the tour!!! Keep cool!!!
Hi Janey! If you remove the purple grasses from the zig zag planter, how do you think they will look in your side garden along side the drive way across from the orchard garden? I'm thinking it will look amazing in that garden near the circular driveway. For the enjoyment of your family and visitors.
HAPPY GARDENING!
Wow what a transformation in such a short period. I been struggling to set up a garden layout that works. Im in zone 9b las vegas such dry hot summers/winters too. Everything is pretty much dying right now. This week we are hitting 118😢. I been able to find pw one time! A superbena and is the only plant not struggling right now lol. I am learning to play more in the garden. Love your videos
I love your Best for the West garden!! Next time you have an event can you get more of these plants? I need them all in my garden (zone 9b/Sunset zone 18) Southern CA!! I do have Pink Cashmere and Sparkling Amethyst, but I have got to get Raspberry!! Thank you for helping get these amazing plants to CA!!
Janey-I’ve been watching you since last year & I have learned so much from you. I’m a garden nerd who gets a notebook every year & I write down notes & observations (monthly) I also date when things start blooming, but the best thing I love is taking monthly videos. It’s excellent to look back on(also helps me remember where I’ve planted things, lol) Cheers from zone 5b Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 my hydrangeas I love!!! They will turn to a beautiful dusty rose in the Fall. But I’m jealous how long you can enjoy your garden!! Love you ❤
Hi, the Gopher Hawk works really well for us.. I work at Stepping Stone Nursery in Atwater, CA (was nice meeting you at The Greenery) 😊 We use the Hawk there and at home too.. It does really well!
Have you studied planting for sound barriers? If you plant between your road and fence, think in threes, three layers. Shortest near the sound. Mid height next then tallest next to your fence. Your happy purple fountain grasses = short. Then something a little taller for mid height, then your tallest choice. This is a technique that’s quite effective for noise reduction, allowing you freedom to plant other choices inside the fence. When you add the meandering additional pathway, consider a water trickling water feature in the crux of the joining pathways, or at least between the path and your fence. With a sound softening planting, a new fence and soft shushing water spray, trickling sounds, you could experience that part of your garden in a whole new way. Good luck.
