Always fun to try a random planting pattern. The zinnias will look great. Seeing both you and Jason busy as bees does my heart good. He is a welcome addition to our gardening family!😊
I love it! A dirty face, dirty hands, dirty clothes. All evidence of a wonderful time puttering in the garden, doing various things which lead to other various things. What a great time!
From anyone who has done drip, we know what a blessing it is to have Jason attack that for you in the garden, especially since the heat is kicking in. Otherwise we’d all be watching a lot of videos of Janey putting in ‘Another round of drip!’ Woo hoo! Lol Thanks Jason for saving all of us 😂😂😂
Janey the sun flowers flanking the greenhouse are so beautiful. Sunflowers are happy flowers that I always smiling. I am like you I love the morning noise birds bees it’s so peaceful. Thank you for sharing your garden.
Never heard of “Juiced Orange jessamine”. Medium sized shrub; -evergreen -yellow tubular flowers -heat tolerant -drought resistant -zones 7-10 -hummingbird and butterfly 🦋 attractant!!!! Best for the West?! I want one Thanks for sharing your morning garden 💚 Janey and Jason
When I had bunnies down here in southern California, we kept them in a hutch in the shade. I would freeze water in 2 liter bottles and put them in the hutch with them They’d lean up against them keeping them cool
I’m with you on the compost. I used to be so intimidated. I have a large wooded area and decided to mimic the forest floor. Then I found out it’s called cold compost! I pile all the garden debris in one area and forget it. It works great.
This was a very good video! I loved the talking over instead👍🏼 I too have been waking up as early as I can so I can first have my morning coffee in my conservatory, listening to the birds and setting a plan for the day. LOVE the cut flower garden 💚
That looks like so much fun 😊 Now that you both work from home you should try to work in a siesta during the peak heat of the day, then bedtime can go a little later 😴
Wonderful seeing you and Jason partnering together! My goodness, the tall sunflowers in the background are just beautiful ! Such a great idea planting them around the greenhouse, Janey! 🌻🌻
I love that you had those two beds dedicated to experiments. I did that with a small bed about 30 years ago and it clearly showed me that I have no tolerance for things that spread willy nilly and abandon their original spot, like spreading spring phlox (which I've never planted again) and what unknown plants are going to do, before I commit to them. It was a great experiment, well worth the time and effort. I'm impatiently waiting for your June videos of your front and back gardens, you've done soooo much this spring!
I love the early morning in the garden too. I get up 5 watch your vidio and drink my coffee and out to the garden I go. love the birds and the big deer have already went all the way around my fenced in Flower bed
I agree, mornings are a sweet time of day . I absolutely love all the sounds of the birds, can't imagine a world without them ! Gardening is my therapy. Happy Gardening Shirley !!!
I discovered the smaller profusion zinnias last year. I purchased a salmon color 6 pack from Wyntour Gardens last year and planted in a container with other plants. The zinnias mounded beautifully and bloomed until frost and did not get powder mildew. This year I have planted three pots with a select profusion zinnia per pot: cherry bicolor, double hot cherry, and double deep salmon. Next summer, I am going to plant more single flower type pots with these type of zinnia. If you think zinnias fit Best of the West category, I think they would look beautiful in your orchard garden or other garden in front of your house in mass plantings (especially the double hot cherry).
Good afternoon Janey and Jason…the gardens are looking so beautiful. All of your hard work is paying off. Not only your garden but your home as well. Everything is lovely…your greenhouse is so beautiful. I suggested it before but I would love to see your table in the GH painted the color of your office door. That pop of color would take it to the next level. Kudos to you both! “The property” is shaping into a gorgeous home and gardens!
Good Glorious Morning! What do you think of setting up a table (outside your big gate on street) with cans of slightly spent flowers, instead of composting them? Maybe your daughters could make a large 'Free Flowers' sign to draw attention to table. This could be a good community outreach. Do put a wire or cable to keep table from being taken.
Hi Janey🌺 . Great work you and Jason did in the morning and this flower bouquet look so beautiful .In the morning at six o'clock l was planting bink gaura also blue and purple Salvia and supertunias and coreopsis . Have a great day .🌺🌻🌺
Look at your sunflowers...they have really taken off, very cool! I like the idea of sprinkling seeds and taking a wait and see attitude. Your have so many areas in your various garden locations , you can also have experimental areas as well. A lot of work but what a gift! I always loved early morning gardening as well. Love it ALL.
Something that I do with many flowers once they have set seed, is instead of composting them, I "spot compost" them where I have bare ground, and want them to grow. This works well to achieve a cottage garden style, and native pollinator gardens using asters, monardas, and such. And also when you have a lot of ground to cover but not a lot of $$$ to do it. It's basically just helping nature do it's thing. Of course, it looks a bit messy, so if you're a neat freak, it won't make you happy. In my own garden, however, I've used this method for years. Today's mess will become a new garden in just a couple of seasons.
fun video. you look so cute with the dirty face at the end. for your next wild area…how about finding a remote area where you can do that each year and just cut wild flowers down without pulling out. the birds will come and eat some of those self sown seeds. i did that in my los angeles street parkway area. i waited till the first fall rains and walked out while it was raining and tossed the seeds onthe ground and lightly raked them in.
i’m so glad you’re doing this& hope you’ll be sure and report back. I did the same thing planted some plants 6 to 12 inches apart and did one 8 foot bed with scattered seed not thinned as they say on the Zinnia growers site on Facebook. Everything in my master gardener training taught me to space plants out so it was really hard to scatter and leave them but I do want to do the experiment too so I’m interested to see how it turns out for you!!!
Cold composting is the way to go! Low effort input and you still get compost in the end. I add my kitchen scraps and weed and disease free garden waste. In our dry climate, it takes a bit longer for dry things to break down, but I usually have some compost by the next year.
Wishing you the very best on your zinnias. I tried to be very judicious with my spacing of zinnias this year, but the birds had other ideas & now I’m starting some indoors to replace in the areas that the birds munched mine!😂
Good Morning. Something you may want to consider in doing the garden beds with drip tape as it will not clog with sediment as well as it will lay flatter then the tubing. I have used tape and found it has worked better then the tubing and it is cheaper on the pocket book. Just a suggestion. Love how everything is coming together in all of your gardens.
I haven’t had the heart to pull my snapdragons! Still blooming after being cut, but definitely not like before. I want to put something there instead, but everything takes too long at this point. ? Suggestions? If I plant zinnias, they will be there in about a month I guess.
I also love the voice over style of video. Maybw not every time but I imagine you can get alot done not moving the camera so much. I need to update my drips too!
Thanks to you I grew snapdragons from seed for the very first time. I never transplanted them because I didn’t get around to it, but OMG it smelled like grapes!! Every time I walked past the 6PK I had to stop and smell them. I’m a snapdragon convert now. 😂
Morning, How do you know what is a plant vs a weed when you just throw a handful of seeds into a raised bed? I'm lucky that I know what a flower looks like when I plant one. eye roll here LOL
Well good morning once again too all and to monty especially. Sometimes doing the work you did today is necessary. The unseen instant gratification comes later. Have a blessed day and a great day. The Oklahoma gardener.
❤what a wonderful and inspirational video. As I was watching , a list of garden chores formed in my head so I am going out in my own garden and tending to its needs. Such a therapeutic way to spend the morning.
Love all the colors of your cut flowers😍 Because of you I’ve started a cut flower garden too🤗I usually get 3-4 bouquets a week! Question: You mentioned that you were going to use DE in the chicken coop. How do you use it and which kind did you use? I see “food grade” DE on Amazon. When I read the directions I get scared because it says you shouldn’t inhale it, etc. So is there one safe for animals? BTW the lil chicks are SO FLUFFY 🐥
Will you be spraying down your compost with water at all? I do the same method as you but we get more rain than you do and mine breaks down very quickly.
Question in regards to drip irrigation. We recently found out that we have a sprinkler system in our grass lawn, on our new property (2 yrs in, and just found it 🤦🏻♀️). Would I be able to tap into it and use drip tubing for a new garden bed? I’ve been hand watering everything and kinda burnt out. (It’s actually not too bad as it gives me a chance to see and inspect my plants). Drip irrigation is way way overwhelming and intimidating.
You definitely can tap into it for drip! It's kind of a big job for a newbie though. See if you can find an irrigation contractor near you and get a quote. It shouldn't be too much $ to just tap in to one sprinkler head and get you started! If you want to try it yourself there are tons of videos on YT showing how to do it!
Always fun to try a random planting pattern. The zinnias will look great. Seeing both you and Jason busy as bees does my heart good. He is a welcome addition to our gardening family!😊
I love it! A dirty face, dirty hands, dirty clothes. All evidence of a wonderful time puttering in the garden, doing various things which lead to other various things. What a great time!
I really like the voice over style of sharing your work with the thought process as you go along.
Thanks Paula! It's kind of nice because I can think about all the things I want to tell you when I'm working in the garden!
A tip, cut down your snapdragons almost to the ground but don’t remove them. They will come again later when temperatures cool down. 😁
❤😊🎉🎉🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉🎉 we❤😊😊
What a wonderful time of day, your flowers looked so beautiful. The voice over was the perfect touch to the calm beginning of the day.
Thank you Heidi! I appreciate that!
You and Laura are how I start my day. You both make my day better. Thank you.
I hope someday they can meet each other.
@@brendajones9467 In a perfect world, Janey would visit Laura’s garden. Her joy and excitement would be so delightful.
@@shelleymalone4427 I think I would cry like a baby.😂
Me too 😂
My day starts with Laura, followed by Janey.
Mornings are the best for gardening I love listening to nature as I get my projects done.
same!!

smart girl! Rafael at Park Winters always says to just mimic nature, which is exactly what you did!
This was a very good video! I loved the talking over instead👍🏼
I too have been waking up as early as I can so I can first have my morning coffee in my conservatory, listening to the birds and setting a plan for the day. LOVE the cut flower garden 💚
You’re very welcome! I am so glad you enjoy the beautiful watering can! 🌸

That looks like so much fun 😊 Now that you both work from home you should try to work in a siesta during the peak heat of the day, then bedtime can go a little later 😴
Oh Dina, siestas are definitely happening since we've been getting up so early! 😆😴
Wonderful seeing you and Jason partnering together! My goodness, the tall sunflowers in the background are just beautiful ! Such a great idea planting them around the greenhouse, Janey! 🌻🌻
The sunflowers are gorgeous!
Such a beautiful morning spending time in the garden.
Good Morning😃. I love your morning time with your garden! I watch you and Robbie as early as I can each day!♥️♥️🌺🌸🌳

The sunflowers around the greenhouse 😍🌻
All the garden videos that have dogs or cats always show them. It’s so sweet!!!!!
Also, nice that you have all these videos to document your evolving progress, fun to look back later and compare, realizing as far you've come.
I love the early morning in the garden too. I get up 5 watch your vidio and drink my coffee and out to the garden I go. love the birds and the big deer have already went all the way around my fenced in Flower bed

It’s the best time to be in the garden👍😎❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yay! I’ve been missing your Monday cut flower arrangements! That one is a beauty.
Your compost pile looked pretty in this video. 🙂

You learn from doing, lol. But google your plant, and then add "seedling". Most likely you will find the images you need.
Looking good in the garden love the flowers and the greenhouse just so beautiful.

Have you considered using drip tape instead of tubing?
Oh you did this video before the chat video. 😍 I see how you got so dirty to funny
Loved this video. Goes perfectly with a cup of coffee!
Good Morning, I start my day with you every morning. ❤
I appreciate that so much!
I’m so impressed with the tool belt around the bucket. I’m going to try it as well😊
Good morning.😊 We have the worst event so pick Janey 😊
Would the bunnies and chickens benefit from your garden clippings?
How is the cut flower center island coming along?
Will you be spraying down your compost with water at all? I do the same method as you but we get more rain than you do and mine breaks down very quickly.
Clapping😊
