You can use baking soda as an organic weed killer after you've watered the cracks on the street. Just sweep baking soda into the cracks and it should prevent weeds and other plants from sprouting for 4 to 6 weeks, providing there is sufficient soda to outlast any rain. Making a paste of apple cider vinegar and baking soda is an even more powerful solution to your weed problems. Mix two parts baking soda to one part vinegar to make a paste and, after the foaming stops, put in the cracks. Organic and powerful!
It is a great to talk about different methods of how to break up garden maintenance and tips to make gardening more manageable. I use two mats to weed. I put the second one beside me then just move my knees over on it without having to get up each time I need to move over. I the put the one I was on to move again. I also found a large firm kneeling pad at a tool store called Harbor Freight. I have gravel walkways so the soft ones I can feel the rocks through them. The road looks so much better now. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Good morning. What a street that looks much better then having weeds. I feel that most people feel that the street belongs to the city so there for they should not look after them. However I would do what you do and that is if this were caused by my garden then I will look after the weeds like you did. Job well done. What an amazing gardener. I like how all your gardens are looking like. Awesome. Have a wonderful day
Good morning my friend! I agree and I have had a tendency to ignore it for far too long but it looks sooo much better when I take care of it! Thank you so much for your kind words! Have a good one! 💗
Having a schedule is so smart! I get outside and try to do it all and then I'm exhausted! I will definitely be implementing a maintenance schedule. It just makes sense. Thanks! 🌼🌸🌻
I think your plan is a good way to make sure all of the tasks in the garden get done!!! Otherwise, it can be overwhelming. I think I would be taking dips in the pool in-between your weeding tasks!! Or maybe not, as I would never want to get out.....I would save the swim for when the daily tasks are done!! 😀😀😀
I think that is a great breakdown for gardening instead of killing yourself trying to complete everything at once. Once I have my front garden completed I will follow a schedule similar to yours. I have like 3 sections to work on but a little at a time. Also I like that tool that you have for weeds, I may need that and some thing a bit bigger for the ones in the garden. Thanks for sharing, very helpful.
Huge difference, your neighbors must love you, only there a few yrs and look at the place. Next Wednesday, try pouring vinegar down those cracks, it should eventually cause those weeds to die or give up. They say to make a mix with dish soap, as that's to hold it in place better, but I just go straight vinegar in the crack. Hope you guys have a nice hump day.
Hi Janey! You are such a hard worker and very thorough! I just spent a while pulling every single piece of weeds (goat heads 😡) from my front garden. At one time it was an expansion of our driveway. I have medium size rocks around my big raised beds now, but it used to be a mess of weeds. Each year it’s getting better! I like your yard maintenance schedule. I feel like you are a step ahead of me. I have been thinking about implementing a schedule for my yard. Thanks for your ideas and for sharing Franny with us too!
First time commenting; I’ve been enjoying alllll of your videos and i appreciate your consistency and all your hard work. Hopefully the TH-cam algorithm takes notice! So glad to be a subscriber of a new gardening channel. I wish you much success!
My mom lives on a corner lot and I remember being in high school weeding, and washing down the street. I got her a weed burner to use in the late winter. Something small but this helps to eradicate anything that might be trying to take root during spring bloom.
Hi Rachael! That is nice of you! I’ve always been nervous about weed burners but feel like I need to try it! Lots of people have recommended it! Thanks for the tip! 💗
Janey - I, too, crave this information. I am new to gardening and have a small yard. I find some of the other TH-camrs fun to watch but confusing to implement or follow along in my garden. You have helped me break it down, learn and solve problems hence my garden is looking beautiful and I am having fun! THANK YOU!!
Yay I’m so happy to hear you say that Shawn! I was RIGHT THERE and literally looking up the very basic of basic info! I’m so happy to share what I’ve learned in my short time gardening! Thanks for watching my friend! 💗
Like your schedules it is simple enough not to over whelm you, like some. You are right there is not a lot of YT for beginning out there, I have to Thank You for doing one. We have a Love Dove between our house and rain trough by the front porch and we call her baby Love-eves. We had so much rain in one day and now the heat which helps dry out the water so we can cut the grass if the mower will go though it. I have a tool I got from Hearth and Plow for cracks, it is a slim blade, that fits right in the crack and you pull it along and the weeds are out and then I go back with vinegar no salt because of the grass on the sides. Love you YT's
Hi Ginger! I will check out that tool thank you! I’m so happy you have a dove 🕊 as well! I feel honored she feels comfortable enough to nest there not once but twice!! She’s very sweet! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 😘💗
Wow Janet your garden is looking so full of life and color!! Stunning, seriously!! It’s like you’re broadcasting from the future - it’s been super chilly here and most stuff is about 2 weeks behind normal. Love seeing gardeners get after those maintenance tasks!! 🙌🏻
Hi Janey! Ugh I have the same issue with weeds in cracks. I hate using chemicals so I use the weed tool also after soaking with water. Not the most fun but very rewarding when it's all done! I think I'm gonna use cheap white vinegar/salt and a couple drops of dish soap on some of the weeds and see how that works for maintenance. Your yard is gorgeous and I really enjoy your videos and you look adorable in your hat 😊
Allison, I recently used the white vinegar, salt mixture on weeds and it worked. Some hardcores took a couple of doses, but overall the results are there. It helps if no rain is forecast for a few days after application. Alysen.
Actually, I did enjoy it. I did some weeding a cleaned the sidewalk off. 😀 I've been transplanting some bulbs also. My husband also meows and edges the lawn. I thought I had a schedule, but after the winter, I fell out of it. Thanks and enjoy your lovely yard.
This video is really helpful. I love plants and flowers but often get overwhelmed with the tasks that need to get done. I'm definitely learning from your channel
I like the idea of the weekly planning of the days to accomplish the garden chores. Here in Kentucky where I live we don’t have curb sides ,or sidewalks, which I miss . I have rock driveways and that can be very annoying but it looks good after I pull the weeds from it . Thank you for this video.
Good morning 😃 I love that weeding tool 😍 I have brick walkways and it works great 👍 love the Mama Dove 🕊 they are such beautiful birds ❤️❤️ have a wonderful day friend 🥰
We have a Frannie also, the way you describe her our bird does the same. She always comes back when she is carrying eggs. She never moves when we gets near her. It’s like she knows that we will not hurt her. I calls her my little girl. I did weeding and planting today and I feel every pain in my body!
That is so sweet Veronica! I feel honored that she chose our home, so sweet! Plus I feel you on the soreness, I was sore after this weeding day as well! 💗
Definitely a good idea to divide the tasks up like that! I have seen Laura's video about how she does hers & if I keep expanding like I have been then I will need to have zones soon lol. I think it is great that you actually took care of the weeds growing in the cracks in the street in front of your house. I feel like most people wouldn't worry about that. But it does make it look so much better & if it makes you feel better then it's worth it!
That's next level weeding Janey !! Looks great!! Yay Franny !! We use a diluted vinegar mix in a as maintenance for the patio. Works well for us :) Have a great day!! Cheers J&C 🌱🌱🌱
Hi Janey. I've dealt with those pesky weeds, grass, etc in cracks in street too but love getting them cleaned up like you. Your yard is looking gorgeous 😍. I'm learning great pointers from you, okay, drink lots of 💧.
Janey, have a question. How many 4.5 in supertunias vista would you plant in 10 to 12in pot? I also plan to add some sweet potato vines, ty so much if you get a chance to answer, I'm sure your very busy😊
@@janmoore6111 hey Jan! Never too busy to talk about flowers! 🌸😆 You could absolutely get away with 1 STV and 1 sweet potato vine in a 12” pot and it would be gorgeous! I probably would end up doing 2 and then 1 sweet potato vine just to have the Supertunia “bulkier” than the sweet potato vine. Hope that makes sense!
Good Morning. I always allow myself to watch 1 TH-cam video a day and it’s usually a Garden Answer video or Lydia Millen video. But since I found you in my feed…I’ve been watching your videos instead. It made more sense since I’m in Zone 9b SoCal too. You’re dropping a lot of videos! We’re loving it! 🙏🏼 Happy Friday! It’s HOT today lol
OMG I'm sooo in the same boat, but mainly rogue grass that's getting like 2 feet tall - good idea to get the soil wet first, I should try that... great job!!
Thanks Cyndie! Oh my 2 foot tall grass! What a pain! Good luck with that and yes try wetting it down! Makes it way easier (and muddier but oh well! 😆🤷🏼♀️) 💗
Everything looks so beautiful Janey 💕 your fertiliser is definitely working wonders 💕 I love Lupins and Delphinium’s especially when we have grown from seed like your Lupins 💕 I find it so easy to have a schedule otherwise I would never be able to keep on top of things 💕 oh Frannie is so adorable xxxxxxx 💕💕💕 you have done a grand job Janey 🌸💕🌸
First of all, you're just adorable. Second, where do I get your hat? Third, I took your swoop idea and planted some Vista petunias in my yard. A couple of them have grown long legs already. Do you think I should pinch back the legs to make them bushier or will they fill in? Oh, and I totally appreciate the "dry and boring" topics! Never thought about doing maintenance on a daily routine. I think that is a great way to not let things get out of control and then a huge amount of work all at once. You're brilliant!
I'm trying to do that same thing. At first I thought that fertilize Friday was a good idea but then my garden smells like fish over the weekend so it's now fertilize Monday.🐟
I lovd thd idea of scheduling your shores around thd garden !! Would you do a video on houseplants one day ,I love houseplants and have a big collection,thank you Janey
Your a trooper getting out there doing that. I have heard boiling water works to kill weeds like that but haven't tried it. Your gardens are gorgeous. 90° sound's good. Can you believe we had a frost this morning.🙃
I just sprayed my mother’s paver patio with 1 gallon white vinegar half a cup of Epsom salt third of a cup of Dawn dish soap everything was dead by the morning. She had some pretty tough resume there and I started pulling them by hand but gave up lol. I did soak them pretty good to get down in the crack where the roots were we’ll see if anything tries to come back.
Love your alyssum "weeds"! 😆 At least they smell good! I got a Hori knife this past Christmas and that has helped immensely with the more established weeds as well. Not sure how well it would work in the street weeds. Another YTer, Linda Vater, uses boiled water from a kettle to help with killing weeds. Not sure that would be practical with your situation, that would be a lot of boiled water. Maybe it might make your work easier? 🤷🏻♀️ An area that I still feel so deficient in is ID'ing pests and diseases. I don't really want to use chemicals (natural or other) if it's not really necessary, so often times I feel crippled and don't do anything. Many people suggest spraying the plant with a jet of water. But I often don't find that does much. We are hot, often humid, and have hard water, so sometimes it creates other issues for me. Maybe I'm just going about it wrong. 😆 That would be a lovely class subject to sit in on, but one I know is very locale dependant.
Hi Dawn! I would love a hori knife but I’m kind of nervous about them! 😆 They seem sharp!! That would be a great video idea but I don’t know how much I could help with the humidity since we basically have none! Might be a good basics video though! 💗 Thanks for suggesting the original weed tool! I love it!
I love your videos i’m a Janey junkie!!🤣 we also have a morning dove right next to our side door which is a heavy traffic area but she trusts us enough her babies have hatched (2) and have some fluff on them soo adorable 🥰. Have a great day and thank you for your videos. 🌺🦋🌸💐
Hi Joanna thank you so much! 🙌🏼 They are so sweet! Since this video the egg hatched (so far it looks like only 1 this year!) The girls are still working on name! 😆
After you weed go buy a large box of baking soda. Sprinkle the soda generously on the cracks where the weeds grow. The soda changes the Ph of the soil and the plants won't grow for a time. It's cheap, so you can afford to do it every month or so, which is about how long it lasts.
You should do a post and ask about your most outrageous mis-labeling. I have no idea what I planted last year. But I’ve got a beautiful pink bell shaped bloom, so not the small blue blooms I thought I would get.
Great video Jannie to talk about all the work in maintaining a garden and keeping your areas beautiful! Just curious, when do you schedule garden bed cleanup (deadheading, pruning, etc.)? Does this fall on your Weeding Wednesday or do you select a separate time for it? Thanks!
Hi Vernelle! I make a separate time for that kind of stuff since for my small garden it’s not really a weekly chore. I’ll do the garden maintenance every week then after will go focus on a certain area of the garden! At least that is how it’s been working for me so far! 💗
Hi Sophia! Yes I did! I made a video of doing one at my friends home. Here is the link! Starting an Ivy Espalier From Scratch! 🌿 :: Gardening In A Narrow Side Yard th-cam.com/video/GhuaqMZPHTY/w-d-xo.html
Hi Karen! We can use it, (I actually have some!) I was trying to go all natural at first but will definitely move onto that if I can’t get the stubborn ones!! 💗
Hi ! I’m new to your channel, and I’m loving it!! May I ask? How do you keep your fox glove from drooping? Mine would get tall and beautiful like yours, but then.. they flopped Thank you and have a great day!!
I also am a corner house and did this a month ago. Thank goodness for weeding tools. Boy did I get odd looks from neighbors 😅 I do see some returning already… I’m guessing I’ll be out there again in a few weeks. I need to get my routine going. I noticed I had budworm droppings on my petunias Monday. I used the bt I had but I’m almost out and I can’t seem to order it on Amazon anymore. Can I ask which brand you use and where you buy it? Thanks for another wonderful video!
Thanks! I love them so much! No they are just in their peak right now. They will fade and then I’ll deadhead them and their subsequent blooms won’t nearly be as beautiful! I just love them this time of year though! Thanks for watching! 💗
How do you mow the "football shaped" plot of grass on the corner of your property? From the angle you showed, there isn't a path to get a mower in there as it appears surrounded by flower beds.
Janey, do you have problems with spiders in that Jasmine trailing up your house? I want to frame my front porch with star jasmine, but omg I am frightened of spiders 🕷🧐
Haha I have never seen one in the jasmine but of course doesn’t mean they aren’t there?? I think I just tell myself that they aren’t there, otherwise I would have trouble! 😆

I’m going to try the baking soda! Thanks
Ooh excellent tip Crystal thank you for sharing with everyone! I will for sure be doing this! 💗

Tammy that is a great tip! You have the best ideas!!
It never ever occurred to me to wet the area first and then pull the weeds. Brilliant, totally taking your tip! Thanks!😊
Yay! It was a big help! Thanks for watching Peggy! 💗
I love weeding! Weird, I know ~ but sitting outside, cleaning up my gardens with my radio is my favorite thing to do!
I love that! Finding joy in the little things! 💗 I love vacuuming. It’s one of my favorite things to do! 😆💗
Good job Franny! Hope we can see more Flippy's and Flappy's! 🐦
The baby is here! I just saw him/her today!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Do you think I should pinch back the legs to make them bushier or will they fill in? Oh, and I totally appreciate the "dry and boring" topics! Never thought about doing maintenance on a daily routine. I think that is a great way to not let things get out of control and then a huge amount of work all at once. You're brilliant!
I'm trying to do that same thing. At first I thought that fertilize Friday was a good idea but then my garden smells like fish over the weekend so it's now fertilize Monday.🐟
😂😂😂 yea fertilize Friday would be a no go then Lu! Haha this cracked me up!!
I lovd thd idea of scheduling your shores around thd garden !!
Would you do a video on houseplants one day ,I love houseplants and have a big collection,thank you Janey
Hi Dina! YES! I love houseplants as well! I am planning to feature houseplants on my channel as well just have been SO busy in the garden lately! 😆💗
@@DigPlantWaterRepeat I completely understand,no rush ,bug yes I would love to see it!!Wonderful
Sweet Frankie, she is beautiful!! What a good mom!! Do dove babies have a name? Dove-lets? 🐦
Hahaha I’m not sure! But I like Dove-lets! 😂
I've used boiling water in the street when I lived in the 'burbs. If you're going to have flowers in the street, get some milkweed out there!!!
Haha that is a fantastic idea!! Right next to my sweet alyssum! 😆
Good job Franny! (Or is it spelled Frannie? Lol) that sweet alyssum is so funny growing up through the cracks! It does look so much better!
Haha either one works I think! Thanks Mya! I’m glad I got that all done!
Your a trooper getting out there doing that. I have heard boiling water works to kill weeds like that but haven't tried it. Your gardens are gorgeous. 90° sound's good. Can you believe we had a frost this morning.🙃
Hi Judith! Thank you I appreciate that! Wow still frost! Almost there to heat I bet! 💗😘
I just sprayed my mother’s paver patio with 1 gallon white vinegar half a cup of Epsom salt third of a cup of Dawn dish soap everything was dead by the morning. She had some pretty tough resume there and I started pulling them by hand but gave up lol. I did soak them pretty good to get down in the crack where the roots were we’ll see if anything tries to come back.
Ok doing this next time for sure!!!! Thank you ma’am!
Love your alyssum "weeds"! 😆 At least they smell good!
I got a Hori knife this past Christmas and that has helped immensely with the more established weeds as well. Not sure how well it would work in the street weeds.
Another YTer, Linda Vater, uses boiled water from a kettle to help with killing weeds. Not sure that would be practical with your situation, that would be a lot of boiled water. Maybe it might make your work easier? 🤷🏻♀️
An area that I still feel so deficient in is ID'ing pests and diseases. I don't really want to use chemicals (natural or other) if it's not really necessary, so often times I feel crippled and don't do anything. Many people suggest spraying the plant with a jet of water. But I often don't find that does much. We are hot, often humid, and have hard water, so sometimes it creates other issues for me. Maybe I'm just going about it wrong. 😆 That would be a lovely class subject to sit in on, but one I know is very locale dependant.
Hi Dawn! I would love a hori knife but I’m kind of nervous about them! 😆 They seem sharp!! That would be a great video idea but I don’t know how much I could help with the humidity since we basically have none! Might be a good basics video though! 💗 Thanks for suggesting the original weed tool! I love it!
I love your videos i’m a Janey junkie!!🤣 we also have a morning dove right next to our side door which is a heavy traffic area but she trusts us enough her babies have hatched (2) and have some fluff on them soo adorable 🥰. Have a great day and thank you for your videos. 🌺🦋🌸💐
Hi Joanna thank you so much! 🙌🏼 They are so sweet! Since this video the egg hatched (so far it looks like only 1 this year!) The girls are still working on name! 😆
Hermoso jardin
Thanks Yesid!
After you weed go buy a large box of baking soda. Sprinkle the soda generously on the cracks where the weeds grow. The soda changes the Ph of the soil and the plants won't grow for a time. It's cheap, so you can afford to do it every month or so, which is about how long it lasts.
Ooh I like that Eva! Get them before they even start! Thanks! You’re full of great tips! 😘
You should do a post and ask about your most outrageous mis-labeling. I have no idea what I planted last year. But I’ve got a beautiful pink bell shaped bloom, so not the small blue blooms I thought I would get.
LOL that is hilarious Natasha! I should!
Hi Janie, new to you… I just moved back to Redding. Love what you are doing 💕
Hi! Thank you so much for watching! I’ll see you at heavenly donuts sometime! 😉
@@DigPlantWaterRepeat lol right!? We lived on Middletown Park by Grant School, left right before the fire
Boiling water and white vinegar! Or just white vinegar. Or bleach, which I never have tried. And your gardens are beautiful!
Thanks Wanda! I need to try the vinegar for sure! Especially bc I have a whole jug of it somewhere! Thanks my friend! 💗
love this
Thank you so much William!
Have you tried pressure washing the weeds out if the cracks?
NO! But that is a great idea Cindy thanks!
Here in southern Texas zone 9A it’s been so hot & humid that I only spend 10 minutes outside. (We’re at 95-100 degrees.)
Oh that sounds terrible Nancy! Is it better in the morning or just humid all day?? Good luck my friend!
Great video Jannie to talk about all the work in maintaining a garden and keeping your areas beautiful! Just curious, when do you schedule garden bed cleanup (deadheading, pruning, etc.)? Does this fall on your Weeding Wednesday or do you select a separate time for it? Thanks!
Hi Vernelle! I make a separate time for that kind of stuff since for my small garden it’s not really a weekly chore. I’ll do the garden maintenance every week then after will go focus on a certain area of the garden! At least that is how it’s been working for me so far! 💗
Nice👍👏😊
Thank you so much! 😘💗
New subscriber! Love your videos 😃
Yay thank you so much Karen! 😘💗
Hi, I was wondering if you did a video on how you trained the ivy against your house
Hi Sophia! Yes I did! I made a video of doing one at my friends home. Here is the link!

Sweep a little Preen into the cracks every other week and you won't have to weed or you can flame the street weeds without hurting anything
Ooh that’s a great idea! I never think to use preen! Thanks for reminding me! 💗
How about Captain Jacks Organic weed killer. Don't know if you can use that in CA.
Hi Karen! We can use it, (I actually have some!) I was trying to go all natural at first but will definitely move onto that if I can’t get the stubborn ones!! 💗
Hi ! I’m new to your channel, and I’m loving it!!
May I ask? How do you keep your fox glove from drooping? Mine would get tall and beautiful like yours, but then.. they flopped
Thank you and have a great day!!
I also am a corner house and did this a month ago. Thank goodness for weeding tools. Boy did I get odd looks from neighbors 😅 I do see some returning already… I’m guessing I’ll be out there again in a few weeks. I need to get my routine going. I noticed I had budworm droppings on my petunias Monday. I used the bt I had but I’m almost out and I can’t seem to order it on Amazon anymore. Can I ask which brand you use and where you buy it? Thanks for another wonderful video!
I found it in the video you linked and put in an order. Thank you!
Hi Julie! Oh great I’m so glad you found it! I just did my first BT spray a few weeks ago! It’s go time! 😆😘
❤❤❤
What about a weed torch? Could be fun since it’s in the street.
Haha that’s not a bad idea Aaron! 🔥😆
It’s all about the hat! Where did you get it?
Haha thanks! Hat is from sungrubbies.com
I love your foxgloves! Do you do anything special to them to keep them looking so good?
Thanks! I love them so much! No they are just in their peak right now. They will fade and then I’ll deadhead them and their subsequent blooms won’t nearly be as beautiful! I just love them this time of year though! Thanks for watching! 💗
I love your hat! So hard to find a nice one for gardening. Do you know what brand it is? Love your channel ☺️
Hi Emily! The hat is from sungrubbies.com!
Have you using a propane burner to torch them it kill the weeds
No I haven’t but that’s not a bad idea! 😆
How do you mow the "football shaped" plot of grass on the corner of your property? From the angle you showed, there isn't a path to get a mower in there as it appears surrounded by flower beds.
Hi! Yes it is surrounded! We have a small battery powered mower that we just pick up and put on the lawn! Thanks for watching!
Janey, do you have problems with spiders in that Jasmine trailing up your house? I want to frame my front porch with star jasmine, but omg I am frightened of spiders 🕷🧐
Haha I have never seen one in the jasmine but of course doesn’t mean they aren’t there?? I think I just tell myself that they aren’t there, otherwise I would have trouble! 😆
I see you lost the handles on your fiskars bin also!
Haha yep!! Poor thing gets quite a workout in my garden! 😆
Hi Janey where did you get your hat, have you told us? if you have I apologize if this is a repeat.
Hi Janya! Sungrubbies.com!
Where can I get the hat? Lovely
It’s from Sungrubbies.com! I love it!!
Boiling water will kill the street weeds.
Thanks Carol! That’s a great idea!
I would block out your street number and your car plates. People are wild these days
Thanks Abenaa! You are sweet for looking out 😘
