Dividing & Moving Hostas on a Sunday Afternoon | Gardening with Creekside
This past Sunday afternoon I spent a few hours in the shade garden doing a bit of maintenance and also dividing & moving hostas to make room for a few evergreen shrubs. Join me for an afternoon of a bit of gardening therapy, and also check out the progress that Jerry has made on the patio!

Now That's what I call " A Day In Paradise " Tree Roots and All. Very Inspiring for Me, Knowing I Can't play in the Dirt for 2 more months. Thank You Jenny !!!!!❤😊
Love this video. It is an example of how perseverance, hard work, make for generous gardens. I appreciate you letting us hang out with you. Slugs and snails are my greatest pests in my garden. Wish I had a hedgehog to take care of them.
So endearing she said excuse me to the fern. 😂 I do that all the time walking between my plants so it’s good to know I’m not crazy.

My sister in law cleaned out the bed in front of my front porch and we are putting in 7 hostas and 7 heuchers. Enjoyed watching you this Memorial Day weekend.
Love it, love it, love it! You're right about therapy. People laugh at me, but it is therapy. Don't want another cold night tonight. Hope it doesn't get to freezing. Be well!
I LOVE everything about this video. I was so great to see how you go about planting and moving stuff (roots and all). I found it super satisfying!! This might be my all time favorite video that you've posted ( and I've seen all of them ). I can't say enough good things about it. Thank you soooo much!!!

You garden just like I used to, when I had my house and big perennial beds. And like you, I am a visual person and had to place the plants and stand back. This brings me back! And we don’t mind the background noise. Your hubby is working hard on the patio area :) the results will be spectacular.
Thank you for showing garden reality! Really therapeutic and hard work, too! ;)
I have many areas that are shaded, and bare. I watch your videos regarding shade loving plants, then go on a hunt and purchase them. I don't know if anyone else does this, but my new plants sit on the driveway for several days while I think about the placement.
I love this video. I like watching the piddling. This is exactly how it goes for me in my garden. It's nice to see that this is how it goes for you too. Keep up the great videos!
I’m always so envious of other gardeners (like sweet Laura of Garden Answer) when they start digging to plant and it goes sooo easy in that soft dirt. Glad to see it’s not just me that sometimes has a fight on my hands with this southern dirt and tree roots! I’m so happy for you and Jerry on all the progress with the hardscape in the patio area. It will be a glorious venue for evening quiet time. I really enjoyed this piddling video. We piddle here in Georgia too!

Great video !! I am such a visual person too. So it was great to see how you worked in the garden. From moving plants , divide them , getting rid of some. And the best part your process on adding new plants to the garden. I also love seeing Jerry working on the patio. Can’t wait to see the finish space.
Hi Jenny, I really enjoyed this video. The garden bed has improved greatly and I can't wait to see all the transformation.
What a beautiful transformation💚💚💚🦎🦎🦎🌱🌱🌱🌼🌼🌼🌱🌱🌱🌿🌿
Wow, everything is looking amazing!

What a satisfying and productive day in the garden. Like you said, it must be nice to be surrounded by plants and not have to answer nursery and garden center questions.
Let the birds eat the slugs. It's great to see that you have a healthy ecosystem.
this was a great video as it shows us that when you garden you face the same garden issues that we do, roots, rocks, improperly placed plants and just wanting to be quiet and work.

Recently discovered your gardening videos and enjoy watching all of them! Learning along the way and love the humor too! ❤️ from NY!
OMGOSH!! I’ve been dividing my really big Hostas on and off for 2 weeks now ... it was fun at first but now it’s better watching you 🤣🤣😉
A lot of work but it’s so much fun! Great job. Great results. 👍
Hi Jenny! Enjoyed following your day!! Everything is shaping up nicely!! Will see you in the next one!! Hugs! :)
Hi ya from New Zealand, we going into out winter now, its so cool watching you and the young ones all working to gether in the garden. I on the other hand say to my grand kids can ya give us a hand out the back in the garden for a second, they tuck tail and run for the hills.
Hosta bed Looks Great. Thank you for keeping us updated on your back patio progress; just loving that feeling of accomplishment . . .your sooo close to a BBQ celebration! Best wishes to you and yours :) P.S. If I knew how to add emoji happiness I would insert "Here."
LOVE this video! Your revitalized bed will be amazing. Lots of work but worth it. Your patio looks amazing! Kudos to Jerry and his hard work on that. And I have to say, Jackson learned more in helping you put the arbor together than any of his classmates learned this weekend, or that's my guess. Keep up the good parenting Jenny! Those skills will carry him through life. I only wish my knees worked as well as yours do. Watching you jump on a shovel brings back memories. Useful tip (?) I use a serrated (bread) knife when dividing plants, especially caladiums. Works like a charm. Thanks again Jenny, for allowing us to watch the process. ❤

I kept seeing a mini Jerry in Jackson.
I'm so glad you showed reality. It's tiring, sometimes difficult to decide on your design plan, weeding, then planting but in the end so worth it when it looks so beautiful. It's why we do it.
I just found your channel I can’t wait to watch more of your videos.. Have a blessed day .
Jenny's sweet voice as she describes slugs' intestines erupting after eating the bait...and then they die. 😂🤣 I transplanted a rhubarb today. I didn't know about the massive roots, they were as big as carrots. Made it easy to distinguish the weeds firmly embedded among the twisted rhubarb roots. I put lots of compost in the hole and Bio-tone, of course. I'm already thinking of recipes. I caught a whiff when I broke off a stem. There's something satisfying about pulling weeds...while they're small. I love your DITL videos.
Something so satisfying hearing the roots pop and the hosta being removed.
Watching you split that Hosta was very satisfying. I feel more comfortable getting ready to split two myself. Thanks you!

I absolutely love watching this process; the planting, piddling, weeding and decision making. 💚 If I can’t be outside doing this in my own yard; I’ll watch you do yours! 🙌 Great video!
I loved this video. Gardening isn't for the whimps.
Patio looks great. Thanks Jackson for helping with the arch.
Planting under trees and around tree roots is the worst! I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles!
I just love watching you at work and listening to you. You have a very calming way about you, and you make me look forward even more to working in my own gardens. I live in upstate New York, which is a zone 5b, so it will be a few more weeks before I can do too much. Until then, I’ll just garden vicariously through you! Thanks for sharing-I can’t wait to see how the garden turns out.
Love watching your channel Jenny!!!! You garden so much like me..."ok, where's my shovel... " and I do the same thing when I hit a root... "whew...glad that was a root!" ... I always wonder what my neighbors think when I walk around looking for tools I was using!😃 Your garden and home are beautiful!!! I garden in Richmond Virginia.

Oh Jenny love watching you plant and listening to your train of thought, I do the same out loud and by myself : ) Hey, I noticed a round indentation in your jeans pocket, almost looks like a skoal can or a tape measure, care to share what it might be from? Nah, don't. I just enjoy watching you at work, a kindred spirit. Thanks for putting in these videos on your "days off."

Moving and dividing perenials are my favorite things to do in the garden.
Glad to hear you day dinner was in the oven already. Just planted hostas last year for the first time. I was surprised how much bigger they were when they popped up this spring. I can only have them in the backyard behind the fence as deer would devour them out front where they could get to them. Thanks for all your tips.
Love videos like this. Everything looks great.
Love this,so inspiring.. I found the weeding segment so calming.
Great job Jenny!😊
The patio looks amazing. The side garden is coming along. I call it piddling in my garden. Did that yesterday. Satisfying when you look back at what you have accomplished.
I have Big Daddy hostas; agree, it’s fun to say! 😄
My friend. You just really need to remember the proven winner’s auger. You made me so tired. 😀. Things are really looking great. Glad to know that slugs are what are making holes in my hostas. Going after bait. Thanks. Patio is looking wonderful, can’t wait to see things planted.

Hello my friend I like your videos ❤️❤️❤️🇰🇭
It’s so gratifying when you have a productive day like this. It’s looking beautiful. Your patio is amazing.....it really is a show stopper. I can’t wait for you and the family to enjoy it.
This has been one of my favorites. Just watching you piddling around in your flower bed . I love everything you had going on and your calm Sunday !! Blessings for your next week !!
Thank you Jenny, for this video, love spending time with you in your garden!!
Yay, Jackson! Way to help your mama!!
We use that term here as well, when you are doing a little of this and a little of that. lol Lots of dividing happening here too.
Really enjoyed this. I like watching you work more than talking.😊😆. Wish I lived closer to you.so I could visit your nursery. I love your patio. Jerry is greatly talented. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your day with us...I love all you do and learning from you and your husband...Your patio and yard are just Beautiful!❤
Very therapeutic and satisfying watching all of your hard work...reinforces that we are in this together...tree roots and all Thanks Jenny.
Absolutely loved this video! I don't know why i enjoy watching someone else do gardening tasks right after i come back inside from doing my own - it's so satisfying. And you explain everything so well! Maybe I'll feel up to dividing some hostas now 😊 Anyway, more garden task vlogs please... Loved it! 💕

Such good information on how to divide a hosta I’m glad I saw that and I’m glad you said something about the color of the leaves the lighter color goes more sun the darker color goes into the shade more headaches that’s good sense thank you very much
Great video. I love Hostas but not slugs and deer! The patio is phenomenal. I didn’t see eye and ear protection on Jerry while working on the stone. Can’t help it I’m in the medical profession LOL!
I enjoyed seeing the process. Your flower bed looks great. It's all coming together. The patio is beautiful. I see many gatherings around the fire pit making s'mores.
What a great Sunday!! The patio looks amazing!!!
Great video! Thanks for showing us how to divide the hostas in so much detail. I’m all ready to divide mine now! Would also love for you to do a video on dividing Irises someday. Thanks again!

You know little indigenous Dekays snakes feed almost exclusively on slugs. If it's little & doesn't have a bright yellow/green tail tip, it's likely a friend. I have several protecting my hosta 😃

Jenny, your patio is looking amazing! I can just see the urns spilling over with beautiful plantings! The bed looks so nice now that you’ve got it spruced up - too bad the area isn’t sunny enough for a Sunshine Ligustrum too! And those hostas were HUGE! But your hair does the same thing mine does when I get outside! Lol PS the Lady Gardener x 2 are coming to my house in a few weeks for my new patio Rose garden trellis too! Loved the video!!
