You might need to start opening your videos with "Welcome to OUR garden" ! SO very awesome that Jason is such a HUGE part of things. He's a Keeper for sure!!

Hi Janey! Love watching your garden grow! I have garden envy for sure. I also had a thought for your shade garden. .install a shade sail in the center. You could install a pole by the fence to attach to and bring up to the edge of your house. Just a thought. They come in many colors too. Happy planting!

Hi Janey, Your garden is looking great! I know you just worked very hard to plant under your Chinese Pistache, but what do you think about amending the soil by adding a raised area like you did in your front garden? It would look cool in a crescent shape with the concave part toward the tree. I've been thinking about your office awning. It would be very neat if you did an awning the color of your door with your logo on it. I think black and white stripes would be too harsh and detract from the beautiful plantings at the entrance. Keep up the good work!

So proud of DPWR’s newest employee, Jason, for suggesting the water-loving hibiscus for the poorly draining area! The garden is looking fabulous. Now only if you could train Monty to start gopher patrol.

Go Jason Go! 🎉

I don't know why every time I watch you I'm so surprised at how beautiful everything is I get my fulfillment of love for flowers because of your channel can't get out in the garden that much anymore but I just love your channel and your family is so precious to me!!!!

Omg the cedar tree and the purple are absolutely gorgeous! You guys give yourselves some grace.Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Hostaholic with over 800 varieties here... hostas don't require heavy shade to thrive. You can actually grow yellow varieties in full sun. They just need alot more water if in a hot climate or sunnier spot. The drip is not sufficient in your area. A good soaking every day with the hose will have them thriving!

Hosta envy here!!! Where do you live that you can have SO many hostas?? And what is your weather like? Sadly, our 100-107 full sun / dry heat summers here in Nor Calif means we can't do hostas in full sun at all. You are so lucky to be able to have all you'd like.

That view from the lemon sedum to your house is beautiful ❤

You had a nursery delivered to you and it would take an army to have planted it all, I think you have done a wonderful job planting along with all the rest going on with work and LIFE! Gardens looking so beautiful in less than a year already!

Good morning Janey. I have a large flower garden and for the past few years we were watering EVERYTHING by hand! Almost two hours for the front and back gardens. Thanks to you and other content providers I finally hooked almost everything to drip. OMG! What a life changer! A big thank you! I love your garden. So much accomplished in only two seasons!

It's so interesting to see how your new garden is progressing. It's much appreciated that you not only share successes but you also share challenges and your plans of how you are dealing with them.

Janey, next time you’re in this position (and let’s be honest… you’ll always have new plants arriving LOL) just film yourself as you plant so you have the footage to use it later when you need it. That way you don’t have to wait for the perfect time. Does that make sense? We love watching you plant, even if it’s filler video.

Maybe Jason could do the 🕳️ 🕳️ auger tomorrow and you could switch to drip irrigation…

Or maybe she can set out plants. He can aug they can both plant. And both do drip together. I just love to work with someone else.

Your planting videos are some of my favorites! I am so impressed with your endurance. I loved this planting express because we got to see so many different parts of your garden and how they are coming together. I really love the planting near the chicken coop! It is going to be a little retreat from the hot sun. And I can’t wait to see where you end up placing the Calendrinia. It is so perfect for your garden! You are going to love seeing those hot pink blooms everyday!

Everything is looking beautiful. You are doing such a great job. You are a rockstar or should I say plantstar?

You definitely don't need a gym membership! The garden looks great. I'd love to see a drip irrigation tutorial.

Beauty is abundant in your garden!! You have created an amazing yard full of color!

What about putting up a shade sail (triangle cloth) over the parts of the shade garden? You could attach it the wall of your house and the fence. Until your other plants mature.

Janey, I mentioned once before that you need to add GYPSUM generously to the holes first, fill them with water and leave to drain. Preferably you should let the hole rest for a few weeks prior to planting, while continuing to water in the gypsum. It’ll take a few weeks for the gypsum to do its job in breaking down the clay. I continue to sprinkle gypsum around my planting after planting them in. Gypsum is a cheap, effective and easy solution for clay soils! I can’t stress this enough.

Umbrellas or shade sails in the shade garden until the plants get established ❤

Looking up that path in the Wild West area up to that orange tree is already magical. Just imagine when everything fills in!!!

Now that was a planting day for sure. Now go rest in the hot tub (cool tub) LOL.

I vote every video starts with sweet silkies and bunny kisses! ❤❤ Your girls must love their furry friends. When I was little, I had 2 bunnies and had so much fun with them! Amazing job getting the plants in the ground...it is all looking so beautiful!

WOW Janey! Your garden is looking absolutely fantastic! What a contrast to what it looked like when you moved in. Simply amazing and inspiring! 🥰💐

As always, great video. Sweetie, you have to give yourself some credit. You have been a very busy lady since you moved into the property and with all of the many commitments you had on the side. A little tip, when you are planting in an area that doesn’t have good drainage, you can put a little gravel in the bottom the hole so that the roots of the plants do not sit in water and it helps with the drainage 😊

I have a feeling the garden bed under the Pistache tree is going to to become a favourite!

Bounce fabric sheets work well , rubbed on your skin , to keep the mosquitoes and other bugs away . You guys are doing a great job! Hang in there, stay cool.

Omg, I would be having my coffee in that spa by sun up, robe hooks up Birks storage underneath, readying for the day, overalls laid out with boots near by. I was dreaming of the shade garden lounger on the side. Then thought of an off the post tower shower with a surround of corrugated metal and wood, for the end of the day change out, after working outside rinse off and then get in the cool tub. Sheesh, so much accomplished already with your 1 year anniversary coming up soon. Wowza, way to go team! A tip for watering at a minimum, a hard plastic lil pool under the carport, (later use for Monty)to bottom water, building some plant towers, if this abundance is going to be on going. Making a shade cloth fence to cut down on the wind tunnel effect. Also, just so top plants water on down, then ya could make a catch basin at bottom for run off and water other plants or a ground 2x4 square with a plastic tarp liner water in for your incoming plants, or place em on that hard surface under the Pistache to soften with watering until ya get em in the ground. That black top and the cement retain and give off so much heat, burning feetsies, black plastic pots and eventually drying everything out. Suggestions hopefully, helpful!

You guys are a work horse , IT'S LOOKING SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!! NOW GO AND GET SOME REST !

Ugh the mosquitoes know how to chase me out of the garden! Your hard work looks beautiful 💚

You two are a great team! Bad soil makes a gardener’s life hard! after we bought our house, I found the same thing …basically a vein of white clay running through a lot of the yard about a foot down so no drainage. Now after 37 years in the same spot, we have a beautiful garden all in raised beds in fact, I really only have a couple of areas where things are planted in the ground. Not what I expected when I bought this house, but it has turned out beautiful anyway and knowing how good you are in the garden I know you’ll make the absolute best of everything!!

Put some pretty umbrellas over your hostas or get a shade cloth until everything grows in.

Your vision is coming ! Looking beautiful ! Your a hard workin' woman!

I know just how you feel. I live near Turlock so same weather as you and I’m trying to finish my gardening projects before that 100 degree weather hits. I’m 80 years old and a few of these places have not been touched before. I’m exhausted. Was still planting after dark. I saw you at Greenery and just let me say Jason is even handsomer in real life. Your talk was very good and I learned a couple, of new things. I wanted to tell you about the best Mexican restaurant in town about two blocks from Greenery but you had so many people in line to talk to you that I didn’t think you needed anymore. I was wondering if you have ever visited Alden Nursery in Livermore. It’s great. Beautiful right now - full if plants. Also in September they have a wonderful quilt show where they hang the quilts from their fabulous old oak trees.

Seriously you and Jason are powering thru the work. Monty needs to chase those gophers away

Wow, that was a ton of work. It’s such a huge relief to get everything in the ground and hooked up to water, it reminds me of that stress release you feel when you unpack the day you arrive for vacation.

Lilacs and Hydrangeas need sun to bloom Janey!!

No wonder your arms are aching. We live in hard clay too and need to amend our soil too. I feel your pain.

I need to get MY plants in the ground. Heat and wind in NE is making planting difficult. At some point, plants just don't like the pots any longer. I think I'll need to start getting up at 6am.

I have squirrels that destroy pumpkins sunflowers and fruit on my fruit trees. I have trapped and relocated. I try to relocate in the same area so the families can find each other. Once you get the hang of it, it's not hard. Good luck

LOL 😂Your house looks like a nursery 😊. So many plants. You are so lucky 🍀

Plants that repel gophers: Other plants can be used to repel gophers, such as gopher spurge (Euphorbia lathyris), crown imperials, lavender, rosemary, salvia, catmint, oleander and marigolds. Try planting a border around your flower beds or vegetable garden with these.

You both probably did more in your garden today than many of us do in a month or longer. I realize this is your chosen job, but life is short. Give yourself some grace. :)

Oh my goodness your Best of the West garden is looking so beautiful!

Hi Janey, your garden is filling in and looking great! Have you considered hanging a shade sail over your shade garden for now until your vines grow in? I watch “She’s a mad gardener” she has done this in her shade garden in Texas and it seems to work well for her.

Excellent idea! Definitely doing this

Oh wow!! Everything you plant is gorgeous. I have an idea for your shade garden…how about one of those pretty shade tarps to hang over the worst part of the sunny areas. I don’t really know the name but just an idea!! 😊

Mosquito tip: take vitamin B12 supplements. The mosquitoes don’t like it and won’t bite as much. Learned from Dads fishing trips to Alaska. Mosquitoes there are huge and aggressive.

Thanks for the info. I wonder how many of us are Vitamin B12 deficient? Like plants that aren't healthy in the garden are always the one's the slugs take out, maybe mosquitoes are doing the same type of thing. 🤔

I liked this style of video! It’s a nice departure from the formula followed by gardening channels on KZread: introduce the plant, plant, and show the planting area afterwards. While that formula is fine, a different style is very much welcome from my perspective.

Janey you should just plant in pots by the chicken coup if soil lacks good drainage.... you both had a hard days work today!! Good job!!

Your garden is so stunning Janey! It is so fun watching you develop the space!❤

Your garden is stunning Janey. Love all the color. You both are getting it done - all in due time. Love your videos. Thank you for bringing us along in your garden.

Sorry about the gopher. I hate when critters (deer &rabbits) eat my plants I work hard to keep alive. The garden is looking beautiful! You have come so far. There are so many pretty plants to see. You were certainly on a planting roll today. When I charge through a day, getting stuff done, I pay for it the next day.

Wow! You both got a lot done today. I think Jason’s suggestion about the hibiscus is a good one.

You surely got a lot planted today! It’s looking good!

Well good morning to you and jason and monty. What a busy productive day. Oh my goodness I can't imagine working in the yard that long, But of course, you guys are a lot younger than I am. Take advantage of your youth. That Monte, what a trooper gets out there Early in the morning too takes his break when he needs it. And then inspects everything to make sure you are on top of it. Looking better and better all the time. Have a great blessed day. Get lots of rest and hit it again tomorrow. The Oklahoma gardener.

I have say how wonderfully rich the soil looks now! Almost a year and the impact is amazing!❤

If you want to successfully grow hostas in your zone in areas that arent shaded, you'll need to plant sun tolerant varieties. These are typically the lighter colored varieties (yellow, chartreuse) with thicker or corrugated leaves. You'll also need to give them lots and lots of water 🙂

Your garden looks amazing. Gophers are the worst. We used to have a big problem. Then one day they disappeared. About 9 months later we figured out why. We had a huge, huge gopher snake chilling out by our roses. Maybe your local college has a “beneficial snake research program” you could look in to. 😂 Love your content on your videos!

Janie, to keep them from frying in the upcoming heat, I would get them in the ground and when you do your tours, just make sure you state these are the ones that came under the emergency planting. That’s what I would do anyway. Hugs from Texas! I’ve got some too that I need to get them in too.

Hi Janey 🌺 . Well done you and Jason did a wonderful work and you worked hard . You plant pretty plants and you arranged them beautifully in the garden .The view of the verbenas with the cedar tree look amazing . God bless you . Have a wonderful day .🌺🌻🌺

Janey you look so bright and cheery for getting up so early! I was inspired by your hibiscus planting and went out and bought one for my garden it's called "Angel Eyes" and well not in bloom but from photos it looks really pretty. I'm taking out my peony and replacing it with this hibiscus because peonies only last a day or two max once it rains even with supports mine flop to the ground and make an awful mess. If I cut them and bring them in they last a few more days but really not worth such a prime spot in my garden for such a short window. Enjoy your day!

Best For The West Garden is GORGEOUS! Especially the view where you planted the lambs ear. So pretty. I want to do a lemon coral sedom border like yours. Great job Janey.

Good morning Janey and Jason 🐕 I can imagine the heat same here in the Oklahoma Panhandle Texas County. Thanks for the video, yup your going to be sore tomorrow hot wet towels well help with with the aching. Have a wonderful rest of the day stay hydrated bye. 🙂👋🌸 🌱

Deodar cedar looks amazing with the purple verbena! One of my favorite trees. 🌲

Hi Janey- things are really coming together! Just wanted you to know we have chipmunk (ground mole) issues also. We set live traps and relocate them. My husband relocated 10 last summer. We are at 5 so far this year. Country location with lots of wildlife. Most we tolerate or just discourage but the chipmunks could get really overpopulated so we are being more proactive. Good luck and will be watching for updates 😅

I belong to an organic community garden in the middle of Hollywood and we have gophers so bad. When I go to my plot the first thing I check for is gopher damage. I’m slowly adding hardware cloth under all my garden beds

Janey, plant one of your hibiscus in your drainage problem area, they love boggy spots!

Sure looking beautiful Janey!!

All looking good Janey and Jason. That purple verbena is Fab !!!

Another thought….can you attach some shade cloth to the fence and somehow drape it over the path and plants in your shade spot?

That looks exhausting, Janey. I would be tempted to save some of the area under the pistache tree for a small patio. There always seems to be a nice breeze and the evaporation from the leaves probably makes it cooler.

I use a rubbermaid cart like you have there. I have always wondered why I never see youtube gardeners using these carts, they are great!!!

What a dream day: so many plants you can’t even get them all in the ground!! Looks great!

Hi Janey! I was reading about gophers, & found information on some plants that might help repel them. Herbs and perennials: Lavender, rosemary, catmint, marigolds, salvia, mint, and Shasta daisy Bulbs: Daffodils, hyacinth, scilla, and ornamental alliums Trees and shrubs: Arbutus unedo, buddleja, callistemon, ceanothus, cistus, escallonia, fuchsia, grevillia, hydrangea, lantana, michelia, nandina, oleander, and pomegranate Other plants: Society garlic, gopher spurge, crown imperials, monkey flower, and verbascum. Then maybe you can get some larger self watering containers to plant some artichoke plants throughout your garden.

Congrats to you both for getting so much done. Your gardens just keep getting prettier

You could put another arch in your shade garden for the Hosta. Just an idea:)

You got so much planted, great job! The grouping under the tree by the coop seems too close together, no? The Bloomerang and the Quick Fire Fab both at 6x6, the fox tail ferns at 3x3, the Little Lime Punch at 3x3 ... sure seems like you will be moving all of these again later to get better spacing and air circulation. I have a bad habit of planting too close myself, so I end up having to re-space so many things! That is a long day, hope you are not too sore.

Hello Both of you Jenny I learned a lot from you thank you

Wow, you did a lot today! Everything is so beautiful! I always love how accomplished I feel when I push myself like that. I have watched Brian from Next Level Gardening fight those gophers so hopefully you and Jason can get ahead of it. 😢

The colors in the garden are AMAZING 💕. So glad you moved here. Everything is coming along beautifully.

Great Job you guys! You need to put paletized gypsum to help with the drainage! Blessings!

Have you thought to add a sail cloth cover to the shade garden to protect your hostas for the summer? There are plants that drive away voles and gophers ( I had to research once you showed the artichoke destruction.) So sorry that you're dealing with these critters. Hoping Jason can become an expert with voles as he is with water maintenance. Enjoyed today's planting. What does Michael Glassman say about fixing the soil? Is there a solution, or will you be looking at years of "amending" the land?

Everything looks amazing! I loved the shot of the BFTW garden when you turned the camera towards the sun ☀️ by the Fig tree and we saw the purple nepeta, orange blaze knifophia, Russian sage and the lemon coral sedum. Spectacular 🎉 probably my favourite area of your entire property ❤

Good morning Janey, In your previous property I commented that I didn’t like the lemon coral sedum, but now I really love them against the purple and the orange kniphofia…breathtaking.

Everything's looking nice in the gardens Janey. Your doing a great job. Maybe move them Hosta near the chicken coop area under that tree next to that gray shed .. Seems like a pretty good shaded area mostly.. My hosta are in a dappled area and do great, but mines are in pots .. The can handle some sun, just not to much. They need good water supply as well if getting more sun. Hope this helps..

Maybe some more plant shopping is in order if you are in too much pain after your tiring day. 🥴😜xxx

Have you heard of the Gopher Sticks? 11:23 you push them in the ground and they snare them.

That was a ton of work! Good job you guys! Looking beautiful! ❤

Fantastic job Janey 🤗🤗

I have Bit of Honey, which is very similar to touch of Blush. Planted 9 of the quart size back in April. A few of them defoliated down to maybe 1-2 leaves. I kept watering as normal and they are all bouncing back. It took forever, maybe about a week ago I noticed new growth, so over 2 months. Give yours time, they may bounce back just fine. Zone 8b/9a Charleston, SC and they are blasted with our full sun. Good luck and great job power planting! Love your videos!

I’ve heard that adding gypsum can help improve clay soil structure and improve drainage. Haven’t tried it yet but it’s what I’ll need to do as well. Your garden is looking so beautiful!

Looking wonderful!!!!

I don't know what it is about Autumn but, that's my favorite season to do a lot of planting. So glad you have Jason now to help you in the garden, and your beautiful pets to help keep you and Jason from working too hard. It's not worth it during a scorching season.

Mahogany splendor hibiscus for the spots that aren't draining so well.

Hi Janie, I didn't have luck with my lilac bush blooming in the shade. Hope yours does better. Your yard is looking great!

Thats alot of work. Kudos to you for getting so much done!

I wish I could get out like 6:00 in the morning sometimes 5:30 it's daylight here in Alabama the only thing mosquitoes will eat you up till I can't get out early and work in my garden or in my flower beds or even cut grass but of course no one wants to hear someone cutting grass at 5:30 in the morning lol

Hi! We’re constantly battling voles and gophers in our garden and lawn. They are so destructive! A bit of advice…. Get rid of them asap! They multiply soooo fast. ❤M

I have to share with you how we solved gopher problems with my dog. My husband dug it up to expose the tunnels, and my dog put her nose and sniffed down that tunnel for about 15 minutes. She would do that daily, and one day the gophers were gone! Apparently, like the squirrels, they avoid areas where dog scents are. Yes….even with living above a canyon, we also do not have squirrels visit our yard since we got the “hunting” dog. I love your videos. You are my first video I take time to watch in the morning.

How about a shade cloth over your shade garden, love your videos, from Indiana
