Jenny my sweet potato vine is trained on an arbor and it laughs at me every 2 weeks. If i cut off a foot of growth it throws out 3 more feet and takes over my chair. But that vigor is why we love them😂
Fantastic job Jenny and Jackson!👍🏻👍🏻 I absolutely love how Brynna loyally sticks by your side, Jenny, and escorts you around your property! Love her to pieces!💕💕
Yes, I love my battery tools as well! Over the last couple years, my husband has gifted me with hedge trimmers, weed eater, blower, and chainsaw. Fantastic gift ideas! Thanks for the honest late summer encouragement to keep at it, your place looks fantastic and you do too!
Love seeing young kids working hard. My girls always were (and still are at 29 and 21), and let’s just say it seemed a rarity. My husband and I can work exceptionally hard, too, as did our parents, so I think it must be good role modeling. Great job, mama!! ❤️
Because sweet potatoes are part of the morning glory family, it is safe for chickens to eat all parts. This includes its vines. They make a good treat for your chickens. Experts say the vines, leaves, and roots of the sweet potatoes are not toxic to chickens or other farm animals. Aug 17, 2022
I hear ya Jenny! Most of August is spent just looking at things that need done lol. But saying, yeah, you can wait till the humidity & temps drop. We've had a bit of a reprieve from said temperatures once the hurricane passed over. Humidity is way down and the Temps have been in low 80's with a gentle cool breeze. It's been glorious ✨️
Jenny thank you so very much for all of the helpful advice and information that you provide! I think your sweet Brenna does an excellent job of supervising.😊
I love tea olives, the builder put severral around the house. I had no idea what they were because I'm from New England, I'm so glad they were planted here.
Jenny my husband just bought me a Stihl baby chainsaw that is battery operated. The bar is I’m guessing 8 inches. It’s for limbing up trees. Or cutting woody sprouts. We are a Stihl family too.
Jenny, Never thought of using a hedge-trimmer on a sweet potato vine--thank you so very much for showing us all this trick! 😃 Now I just need to replace my corded hedge-trimmer w/ a battery operated one so I'll no longer have to deal w/ the frustration & replacement cost of hedge-trimming thru another cord. 😉😊
I like your way of pruning the sweet potato vine. I would have probably sat on the ground, scooted along, while lifting the vine up and pruning with hand pruners at the base - way far in. This way is much faster.
Jenny, those sweet potato vines are gorgeous! So envious of you and Laura from GA who can grow them that vigorously because you guys don’t have the deer issue I do that loves to eat them! 🥴😆 Those “natures chandelier’s” are gorgeous! 💗🤍 I’m going to try that recipe next season. Happy Gardening!
My Lord. Jackson is growing as fast as the sweet potato vine!! Nice to see kids helping. You and Jerry have done a fine job. I went to Erin's website to buy that candle but out of stock!! Dang. Lol. Got on the email list to let me know when its available. 😊
I definitely am doing something wrong. I planted potato vine in May. They were about 8” diameter. Now they are about 12” diameter. Look good and healthy, just not growing . Same goes with my coleus. I added compost and fertilizer. They are in a part shade area.
Good morning. Jenny, I know you said that you were selling shrubs only online to start. I have my list ready when you give the green light. Just wondering if it includes some boxwoods as well. You’re only five hours away and I’m dying to rent a u-haul. Soon, very soon!! Love you guys.
Hey Jenny, I was very interested in the candle you spoke of from Erin’s Laurel collection, but which candle is it 😆 I love tea olive also, hoping to rip out a filbert and replace it with tea olives 👍🏻
Don’t know what the name of the weed is, but it looks like one I had when I first started gardening. It produces delicate orange flowers and I thought it was a perennial! They’re very easy to pull up.
I would like to know also. It showed up in my garden about 4 years ago and I pull it up and it comes right back. I would very much like to kill the seeds before I have to deal with it next year.
I’m suspecting they are like us. We live on 80 acres, the deer stay out of my yard, but the pasture and woods are full of them. They even walk the fence line to lick the salt block we have out for the cows. The deer have plenty to eat out of the yard. My mom in town fights them
@@carmenkuhn3865 I live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods…doesn’t matter…deer destroy everything I put out even coming onto my patio to eat my potted plants.
Hi Jenny, could you spare Jackson for a while? Would he like a 'vacation' 😝 in Florida? I'm 80 years old and this has been a terrible summer in the garden for me and probably won't let up for a while still. Your gardens are looking wonderful despite the summer we have had in the south. Brynna sure is loyal to you. She makes side trips to check out other family members coming and going but always returns to your side. What's the story behind her loyalty to you?
I’m in Florida on a screened porch and I just got bitten with a large mosquito. How do you and the family handle this problem when you are sitting outside among all the flowers and shrubs?
I've given up on sweet potato vine. Such a thug. My dichondra silver falls grows and grows until it's dragging on my patio. This year, I planted some as a ground cover to moderate success. The weeds (mostly crabgrass) grew through it. 😠 I don't know the weed name you sought. Is it a bit clingy or sticky? I consulted Professor Google and entered lots of descriptions. Found a couple other weeds I am plagued by, Quickweed and Marestail. This year, I have a mat of a weed and I can't ID, but it's freaking me out as I find it everywhere. This is when Preen is our friend. I don't like to use chemicals, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Today's chore: load up the car with collected weeds to take to the community garden waste site. I hope I don't have any passengers, such as grasshoppers on my tarp 🦗
I watch all your videos, and how have I missed your landscape lights! I’ve been looking for that exact look! What brand are they? Also, what is the name of the candle company? I also love the tea olive fragrance! Thanks for all the enjoyment and info you provide! 7b near Atlanta, so everything you experience is useful for me.
Not 100% sure, but your weed looks a lot like my white snakeroot that comes up that way....individual leafy stalks that pull up very easily....they bloom white in Sep for me in zone 6b.
Here’s a link to shop Erin’s candles! They are all devine 💗. www.laurelmercantile.com/collections/candles
Which scent smells like tea olive? Thought you said Laurel candle, but I don’t see it.
@@GwenPeregrin it is the Laurel candle but I believe someone said it is sold out right now 😩
@@GardeningwithCreekside yep it is😭😭😭
The sold out ones are on the last page, if you want to find one and bookmark it for later.
THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓

Such good parents to teach your children a good worth ethic. I can't believe how tall Jackson is getting. Those hanging baskets are fabulous!
Growing like a weed!!!

It’s butterfly season! that’s how I endure the garden this time of year 🦋

Thise sweet potato leaves are edible AND delicious!
😋 🤤 😋
Real gardeners wear hats!
Bro she's a bored rich housewife. She probably doesn't spend alot of time outdoors after May.
Kudos to Jackson for helping you in the garden ❤ Next generation of gardeners in the making ❤
Great video so glad the sweet potato vine was pruned thanks Jenny. That yard gonna look amazing coming spring time especially with my magic lol
Those hanging baskets are absolutely gorgeous. Way to go.
Thank you! 😊
You have a beautiful home and garden! I love how the furbaby stays with you ♥️
Thank you! 😊

No black snake this year? No doubt Brynna has been on patrol to make sure everything is safe for mommy!
I was thinking the same thing.
I had that sw potato vine at the base of a potted tree and I swear I trimmed it every day!!!
Good Morning Jenny and Jackson!!
Pleasant video and you have great helpers especially the dog. ❤
I love my trimmer! I have a Lowes one, but it's extra light weight and the battery lasts forever!! You're right! They are super handy to have around!
Yes they are!
Kudos to JACKSON!!!
It all looks great!!!!
Jenny thank you so very much for all of the helpful advice and information that you provide! I think your sweet Brenna does an excellent job of supervising.😊
I love tea olives, the builder put severral around the house. I had no idea what they were because I'm from New England, I'm so glad they were planted here.
Clean up is so satisfying. I plan to head to garden this afternoon to start fall clean up.
How many sweet potato plants did you start with in that area?
Little chores big impact! Yay!
Great haircut for the sweet potato! I hope college is going great for your oldest:)
Thank you!! 😊 it is!
It’s so sweet how Jackson helps you. I definitely can’t get mine to help with bribing them. 😆
I absolutely love my trimmer.
Jenny my husband just bought me a Stihl baby chainsaw that is battery operated. The bar is I’m guessing 8 inches. It’s for limbing up trees. Or cutting woody sprouts. We are a Stihl family too.
Us too !!
I received one for Christmas. I love mine.

Yeay beautiful decoration ideas
Very fresh look decoration
Thanks for sharing.
The deer would try trim my sweet potato vine, so I switched to dichondra silver falls this year & it looks beautiful! Cleveland OH 6b
Great tip, thank you❣️
Everthing looks beautiful and tidy!have a great day!
Looks beautiful what a difference mulch makes
I know it dresses everything up !!
Jackson is wonderful ❤❤❤
Nice job Jackson!
That weed is called Lamb's-quarter weed.
And it's edible!

I want tea olive trees so bad. Making a space for the for sure in our new garden. Enjoy all your videos.
I definitely am doing something wrong. I planted potato vine in May. They were about 8” diameter. Now they are about 12” diameter. Look good and healthy, just not growing . Same goes with my coleus. I added compost and fertilizer. They are in a part shade area.
Thanks for the motivation! That looked like so much fun im gonna go tackle my garden to do's for today :)
It looks so good Jackson looks like he grew a foot ❤❤
He has shot up this summer!
Can I borrow Jackson for a week, he is such a hard worker! I have to bribe my sons to do anything in the yard.
Hi there I'm a new follower and fellow American coop owner... I just saw you guys on Carolina Coops' channel... great job!!!
Welcome!!!
Good morning. Jenny, I know you said that you were selling shrubs only online to start. I have my list ready when you give the green light. Just wondering if it includes some boxwoods as well. You’re only five hours away and I’m dying to rent a u-haul. Soon, very soon!! Love you guys.
Good morning 🐅
Oh my gosh Jenny! I live in Northern Utah and i just started getting that same weed! This is the 1st year I've seen it though. Its prolific!
Hi Jenny! I enjoy all your videos so much. I was wondering where you got those beautiful sounding wind chimes. Your gardens are absolutely amazing.
Hey Jenny, I was very interested in the candle you spoke of from Erin’s Laurel collection, but which candle is it 😆 I love tea olive also, hoping to rip out a filbert and replace it with tea olives 👍🏻
It's the Laurel scent. I just tried to order one and they are out of stock😢!
My sunpatiens results were a mixed bag this year. My rockin blue suede shoes salvia is tha-RIVING! (Thriving with emphasis)
You can’t beat that salvia!!!
that weed is called Mulberryweed (Fatoua villosa)
Don’t know what the name of the weed is, but it looks like one I had when I first started gardening. It produces delicate orange flowers and I thought it was a perennial! They’re very easy to pull up.
I would like to know also. It showed up in my garden about 4 years ago and I pull it up and it comes right back. I would very much like to kill the seeds before I have to deal with it next year.

On my way to your nursery for some hydrangeas 🎉
Can't wait!
@@GardeningwithCreekside You are as sweet in person as you are in the videos! I’m excited with my new hydrangeas, thanks and many blessings
The weed sort of looks like a Cleome, but I assume you would know better than I!
How have the deer not eaten this entire thing already?
They don't deal with a whole lot of deer.
I’m suspecting they are like us. We live on 80 acres, the deer stay out of my yard, but the pasture and woods are full of them. They even walk the fence line to lick the salt block we have out for the cows. The deer have plenty to eat out of the yard. My mom in town fights them
That’s our exact situation!
Might be pig weed. I love my hedger too!

Looks like B is blowing her coat! I feel your pain - we have a Golden and a Gr Pyrenees. Hair everywhere!
She is! We have hair "tumbleweeds" in the house even with daily brushing & vacuuming 😳
Can you overwinter the dragon wing begonias? If so, how?

Laurel Mercantile is Erin Napier's candle, soap company. Several nondescript varieties such as Porch Party, Saturday Morning, Goodnight Irene, etc.
@@Edu_Kate thx!
Do you mulch under your sweet potato vines?
The bed was mulched when we planted it
@GardeningwithCreekside oh OK. I was trying to decide if it was a smart choice for me to mulch such a plant
Hum..
Not 100% sure, but your weed looks a lot like my white snakeroot that comes up that way....individual leafy stalks that pull up very easily....they bloom white in Sep for me in zone 6b.

Nice job Jackson 👍
