The office sign…oh my goodness. Too cute! The areas around the front of the greenhouse and office are both filling in beautifully 😍

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

just a little tip. When colour coding, also use the alphabet so that you don't forget which colour is the first, second etc. Example Blue, Green, orange, pink, purple are the alphabetical order for B, G, O, Pi, Pu., therefore plant blue first, then green, etc. I do this all the time and it really works. I do this when planting as well if I am, for example, planting three types of snapdragons, I use a stick divider but I don't write on it. The earliest name in the alphabet is on the left and the last name in the alphabet is on the right.

[@tracythomas343]

Your office, front & back are just adorable! So charming. ❤️❤️❤️

[@virginiaramirez4214]

Janey, it’s so sweet to see Monte watch you work 😘💙

[@raquelk63]

Mosquito repellant that smells great. Avons skin so soft

[@stevet249]

And feels good on, too.

[@Mz.Davidson]

Love that greenhouse! I would paint that table in your greenhouse the color of your office and front door. That pop of color in the greenhouse would take it to the next level, just saying.😉

[@sherrikeir-lg7zt]

Your office looks so cute with the embellishments!!! This was a great video today!!

[@kaychaney6102]

Can’t wait to see the dahlias and calla lilies bloom!

[@yoanasaucedo8040]

My morning wasn’t the same 😢 back to normal now lol

[@Jesusisthesweetestname]

I humm your music all day at work. 😂 Love it!

[@katricefaulkner]

Me too! My two dogs hear the music and will come and sit in the room with me. I always say “it’s Janey time” every morning. And if I don’t say it , my husband does. I love her videos!

[@victoriamcbean8492]

Monty is such an attentive assistant. He is just the cutest ❤❤

[@ptaylor6153]

Love the office sign. It is perfect !!

[@nicholhowe8449]

Love a productive queen. Why don't you put some of that wavy plastic sheets they use on diy green house roofs over that frame above the potting area to help keep rain off your shelf etc? just a thought.

[@kmsch986]

I’m always amazed how lucky you are to have a well behaved young retriever! If I left my onions out like that my dogs would think what great toys and they’d be strewn throughout the yard in about five minutes 😂

[@DawnYoung-xh8eb]

Hi janey, Dawn here watching from Corfu….I know the basil was a treat for the chicks but would also be wonderful to make pesto jarred up and stored or mix with a little olive oil keep in freezer in ice cube tray ever ready to mix into your cooking

[@botanykey]

Don't give up on that basil. I have good results just pinching the flowers off above a good branching leaf set. The plant just grows more leaves and is fuller than ever!

[@virginiaramirez4214]

Love how everything is filling in by the green house 👍🏽🌸🌺

[@christieharrison9542]

Yessss!!! Direct seeding is not for impatient people!! Also, if you’re impatient enough and are cheap and reuse seedling mix - you often get plants that you didn’t think germinated. Chaos gardening is so much fun!

[@user-hx4hg8ee5r]

Your enhancements installed today are very cute. Maybe over your outside potting area, a small pergola will really enhance that area, and there will be some protection. Also, planting some type of vine over the top would really look amazing. HAPPY GARDENING!

[@ranchhomeliving]

Very productive day and I love everything you hung up on the office. It looks adorable! 💕

[@echomountain3370]

For direct sowing, always plant twice as many seeds as you actually want and then thin and even transplant if necessary. Keep the seeds moist until germination.

[@ashac7183]

The office sign is so adorable. I just love it!

[@rhondafisher72]

I love these kinds of videos, it sure inspired me to do something outside, mainly weeding.

[@user-hw1tl5rn6p]

The office sign is just perfect. Everything looks sooooo nice 💖

[@user-qy1fu5qg2p]

Well, good morning, Janey and Monty. Another productive day satisfying to get that the accomplished. Love it when a plan comes together. Have a blessed day the oklahoma gardener😊

[@reneel2502]

So excited for the report back on the bug spray!!

[@cynthiamillentree4886]

I am loving all of your creativity that you are adding to your garden! Positive things to look at and enjoy in the garden! Your office sign is perfect! Yes to Bootstrap! I really need to make that narrow table you have. 💚

[@kathyv3909]

Thank you for taking the time to share the little details that make a big difference, such as, the black furniture nails and using Espoma with the Dahlias.

[@annielowe6047]

Hi Janey! I love watching and learning from your show. I used to get bit up in my garden too (zone 9b Vacaville), but after someone gave me a citronella geranium to plant, I have not been bothered by mosquitoes like I used to. It's a very vigorous plant! I have to cut it back by half a couple of times during the growing season or else it grows over other plants near it. I can't say for sure if this plant is the reason for the decrease in the bug problem, but it might be worth a try. It smells really good too!!

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

I absolutely love want you have done to your office, its just soooooo cute and adorable. The words you put on the side just made it. Also the Office sign is adorable also. And the big long shelf and all the pots,now that was a great idea. It looks like a magical little cottage house with a romance feeling. I love everything you do. I love all your video's. Just love your channel. You and Jason work so very hard. Just look how much yall have done, and havent even been there a year yet. Love y'all ❤

[@kathyley5661]

Looked like a fun day. Love the office sign. Perfect!

[@clevausry9322]

I just love the happy, happy music you use for background! Loving your videos, too.

[@sjerzgrl]

Love the variety video and your signs! Thanks Janey

[@Mjsplantingagain]

Great idea using the different colors for succession planting. Thanks for that tip. Love the sign and shelf

[@how2house]

I'm loving your videos, specially the fact that you are consistent with style and even the songs you use (like a trademark of sorts). Thanks!

[@deemckinney1486]

These are my favorite kind of videos. Thank you so much.

[@colsen4616]

I’m with you on direct sowing. I’ve had better luck protecting seedlings from bunnies than seeds from whatever ate them or weather. Also, I’ve never experienced problems regarding root disturbance. A couple years ago I grabbed a three pack of sunflowers on a whim, teased out 11 plants and they all grew. Lol maybe they should have been better in some way and I just didn’t know any better!

[@barbaracole4314]

That white yarrow is absolutely stunning, I have it in white and yellow absolutely love it.

[@LongIslandGardener]

What is the name of the name of the white yarrow?

[@4nikkimay]

Yep the birds got mine too. What did work was adding burlap on top w landscaping pins. Can water through it. Was awesome 🤩

[@MaryLynne2]

Janey - LOVE the signs on your office - both front and back! As for bugs ‘in the country’ - have you considered planting plants throughout your landscape (instead of just in raised beds) that deter flies/mosquitos or pests (like gophers, moles, squirrels, etc)? I have lived in the country forever, and I discovered by an ‘accidental planting’ around my deck a few years ago that these things can really make a huge difference!

[@rachelt761]

I was the same way with misunderstanding “winter” squash! Thanks Jamie for throwing that out their! And planting 3 is perfect. I did 4 because my kids are still small (and my 2 year old got it 😂) 1 for the bugs 1 for the weather 1 for the toddler 1 for harvesting

[@swankyclass8654]

Here’s another repellent to try Janie that I really like. Stem mosquito repellent wipes, no spray and the wipes have a lemon grass smell to me. They are deet free and safe for kids and pets. Happy Gardening!!

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Janey .🌺 Well done . I love these onions , they look very good . The shelf and the signs look beautiful in thier places . Have a great day .🌺🌻🌺

[@elizabethholzer7471]

Janey, make sure your onions and garlic don’t get rained on. Love watching you in your garden everyday. So happy to watch your channel grow.

[@산림치유]

정원관리에 관한 아이디어를 얻을 수 있어서 좋으네요..감사합니다.

[@The_Bunny_Cakes]

You should think about doing seed starting containers in your more designer colors (sage, taupe, cream, etc). Would be really pretty!

[@melissacontreras673]

Your office is lovely

[@tlcgarden2300]

Yes! You’ve motivated me to head out to the garden and sow a few more seeds and do some maintenance. Thank you! ❤M

[@gardensglory1229]

Loved this video! Good mix of things! Love your office sign! Deanna

[@lorrainemcwhorter2796]

Beautiful set up with your potting area❣️

[@ruthiewilliams3482]

Too hot here too!!!!! Even my dog runs back in after her bathroom break!

[@bettyboop1524]

I've never noticed Monty with a collar on - is he a Big Boy now? So grown up, so handsome.

[@taragoodloe4122]

Janey I just love your office sign. So cool. Your shelf and your inspirational words on the back of your office very encouraging to a beginner gardener.

[@sharonallen805]

Janie plan on having squash bug Waltham varity is known for attracting squashbug. But its wirth it butternut is very delicious. Happy Gardening.

[@bethgaither1214]

Your office looks so cute and inviting. An awning would be the crowning jewel. 😊

[@michellemccabe6888]

These are my favorite!!!

[@pamulapowell3951]

Beautiful Day love it!

[@Tracymw99]

Wire trash cans from dollar store always for seedlings !!!

[@jeangravette7007]

That looks great!

[@user-qo1uu5us9u]

The office sign so cute but that entrance is amazing ❤.

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

certainly was a good day!

[@griselnunez4274]

Love the sign on the Office door and on the back too nice touch.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Thanks for motivation, getting inspired to sow some seeds today.

[@ordiekelleher2641]

How great video! Huggicates. Yeah Kate!😊

[@saraw8503]

May I suggest you put up a white board to keep a list and to track progress.

[@RC-mc6rc]

I love the colorful bootstrap products! Today’s video made me want a potty bench just to decorate!!!

[@susanbolivar9194]

Had to come tell you that I love the sign and the new shelf!

[@clairemcblair]

Hi Janey! I saw Regenative Gardening with Blossom and Branch put a piece of burlap over her direct sown zinnias to protect the seeds/seedlings from birds.

[@officiallaskardoa]

💕💕💕💕Perfectly job

[@claudiaceleste777]

a couple of rusted trellises like your Mum has at her house would look great on the side of your office!

[@gardeningat701]

We have a couple of bug lights with mosquito pheromones that take care of our mosquitos. I also have a Thermacell that works really well in a 12' area. My dad recommended it to me, and he uses it while hunting.

[@thedirtygardener]

Love the Bootstrap Farmer supplies. Very sturdy. I’m going to try their mesh bottom trays for this year’s soil blocks.

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Like mis mash!😊

[@kimgurley472]

That "Office" sign!!! 🩷

[@4nikkimay]

Oh wow thx for the bug spray options 👍🏻

[@inspiringgardenkorner]

The outside office look really nice

[@user-ik3tc5zx4i]

Nice harvest

[@rachaelslivka7973]

Good morning Janey--behind you (time stamp 13:28) by the greenhouse, can you shows us the flowers--they look FABULOUS!!

[@truthtalker4038]

I did research this spring when I grew my first seedlings. Most seeds need light to germinate, so you don't want to cover them very much if at all. Some seeds need darkness to germinate like garden phlox, but most need light. So if you bury them too deep they won't germinate.

[@joinmeinthedirt5186]

Did you see next week will be 110 degrees next week 😩I hope everyone’s gardens survive. Good luck

[@robincarpenter9953]

Hi!bugs love me and I had to resort to longsleaves pants and covered shoes and socks😝 I hated the bug sprays smell, and they didn’t seem to work that well either. I recently tried the zevo on body spray and I really like it! It is odorless! And seems to work pretty well. If you try it, be careful not to breathe it in. I spray it on and run away to a “clean air spot” before I breathe. I just spray my arms and legs and when I’m done outside,I just wash my arms off in the sink and don’t feel like I have to get in the shower immediately.

[@joannetullini6814]

Hello, I have used Off Deep Woods and it's very effective. It even comes in wipes. Love your garden.

[@kristinepeterson6761]

It looks so good!! What an awesome space!!!! I would make another shelf to go over the a/c unit to match the shelf you hung up. That way y could have more storage and put something pretty on it to see out the window while disguising the a/c a little.

[@GardeningwithPurpose329]

Hi Janey! zone 9B FL here, I feel the same way. I don't like bugs spray on me too. So for me to avoid using chemical spray I planted a lot of Lemongrasses, Citronella & Lavender around my house and my garden. Just keep in mind though Lemongrass is a tropical plant so you might want to plant them in pots so that you can protect them in the winter and if you research them they have great health benefits too and it's beautiful in the garden as well.

[@sheliafears591]

Hey Janey…what happened to the giveaways? Did I miss it? I wanted a tshirt! Keep up the great work…. I’m learning a lot from you❤

[@aruubajaj]

Get a citronella hedge maybe that helps, even eucalyptus tree helps plant some. Mosquito’s & bugs hate them

[@marleneegan-hm7lr]

Unfortunately I’ve learned that citronella plant( I’m not sure about eucalyptus) only works with the oils are released from the leaves to work. I’ve read that lemongrass, just by sitting there repels mosquitos but I planted a few I don’t think it’s made a difference. The mosquitos have been killing me this year!

[@aruubajaj]

Try marigolds, citronella grass ,horse mint(also called spotted beebalm), feverfew,wintergreen, peppermint, sage, rosemary all the herbs repell some sort of insect. So maybe that helps. 😊

[@aruubajaj]

Floss flower,lemon thyme,chrysanthemum ,fennel, catnip/nepeta also may help..but planting alot of them helps bl ot just one or two. Thats y i said a hedge🫣it has to be intoxicating enough for the insect bugs & mosquitoes

[@marleneegan-hm7lr]

@@aruubajaj I wish I had enough space for a hedge! Thanks for the tips🙂

[@MyFocusVaries]

​@@marleneegan-hm7lr I've heard this from a KZbinr who does science reviews of common gardening tips

[@karlakadow5755]

I love your sign - so cute and positive! I'm going to start more seeds too for my garden. I usually do well with direct sowing, but this year I am having the same issue with birds enjoying the smorgasbord! Did the little paper umbrellas work in the flower field for covering seed? I couldn't remember if you used them on seedlings or direct sow seeds? Thank you and Jason and your whole family and team for all you do!! Since my retirement earlier this year your videos have been a happy start for my day! Hugs, Karla from zone 9b /Menifee, CA.

[@MyFocusVaries]

Burlap over freshly sown seeds is what Blossom and Branch uses. No plastic and light and water get through. She leaves it on until the plants are a couple inches tall.

[@andymeacham1508]

I have hit and miss with direct sowing as well. I know that zinnias don’t like to be disturbed and so I tried soil blocking for the first time and I am completely addicted!!! It’s so easy to plant the seedlings out because you don’t disturb them trying to get them out of the tray plus it’s so much easier for me to regulate the water because you can see if they are dry or not instead of guessing. I love that everything stores so compact. I have spent a ton of money on expensive seed trays and I am giving them all away! You should try it! Regenerative Gardening with Blossom and Branch Farm has a great video for beginners.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Also your hot tube should b covered all the time! Mosquitos can multiply in a teaspoon of water!!!! We live in GA- mosquito heaven ! Ugg they find me all the time but not hubby? Crazy ! This time of yr it’s like my “ winter” stay inside mostly unless early morning - dusk is too buggy for me!

[@dixiecook9378]

An all natural bug spray that dosent have deet in it. It's works.. Avon brand Skin Soft Oil. Put in a spray bottle smells great, repels everything and moisturizes skin Non toxic.

[@LaylaLawless]

so funny, but I am sewing seeds while watching your video. I am a beginner and learning but I just have to plant something. Praying my zinnias and cosmos come up for me.

[@roxanneelsey6266]

Why don't you use your greenhouse to store all of the seed starting supplies? You could even work in there with your seed projects. It's such a beautiful and useful space.

[@vikkirogers3639]

Speaking as someone who lives in the same California zone 9B, I imagine the greenhouse is way too hot to work in this time of year when the temps are well above 100 for many days in a row. We’ve been 108 for several days this week. 🥵

[@goldensgreensandblues3858]

It would fry supplies making even quality trays/pots brittle. My greenhouse is 140 degrees in Oregon in partial shade with vents open.

[@lisamccullough224]

It would get 140 degrees easily in the greenhouse. Might even warp the pots. I live in high desert conditions and the intense sun fries everything to a crisp. Much different that full sun in humid conditions. Even plants tags that say full sun may need afternoon shade in places where humidity is low.

[@user-qk2bh7ks3e]

Hot!

[@barbhill2954]

I love your videos and what you did at the back of your office. Well done!

[@MonoiLuv]

Janey❤ tell me you're going set something up to harvest your rainwater

[@darlenencambria]

I see a lot of suggestions on putting up a roof on your potting area. A metal Or plastic roof would generate too much heat. If you want more shade . I would consider a shade cloth. Will help cool down the area if it gets full sun. Happy Gardening 🌻🧡

[@doloresramirez3289]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@GardenHappy]

I have struggled with growing zinnias from seeds as well! Normally they are sO EASY to grow. I have tried 3 different tines with the same results as you. I wonderful if its so ething in our garden zone or maybe bad seeds… who knows. 😆😆😆Liz from California

[@cjacobs6834]

Someone who worked outside around bugs recommended my parents try Johnson’s baby creamy oil aloe and vitamin e. It’s a green tube. I use it as body lotion before I head out to my garden and it helps the mosquitos not smell me. Other times I grab a paper towel and wet it then add a couple drops of lemongrass essential oil and gentle rub on skin.

[@carolyost6733]

Love the saying and love your office sign. We each have to discover what works best for us but I LOVE DIRECT SOWING. I ALWAYS DIRECT SOW MY SUNFLOWERS AND MY ZINNIAS. YOU KNOW MUCH MORE THAN ME ABOUT GARDENING BUT ONE TIP I MAY HAVE FOR YOU ABOUT DIRECT SOWING ZINNIAS IS TO OVER SOW. YOU CAN ALWAYS THIN OUT. I ALWAYS HARVEST MY ZINNIA SEEDS SO I HAVE ALOT AND I SOW HEAVY. I PREFER DIRECT SOWING TO SEED STARTING BC I DONT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT FOR SEED STARTING OR THE ROOM. BUT WE EACH HAVE TO FIND WHAT WORKS BEST FOR US, RIGHT!

[@peggydyson5415]

If you don't like bug sprays, they do sell patches called nat pat mosquito patch. They are citronella infused no deet.. used a lot in Florida, have kids and adults, sold on amazon

[@lavenderbutterfly2160]

Just. An idea .plant the center island with grass with the pathway and gazebo some shrubs to block the tank and put all your cut flowers in the back garden beds and all your vegetables and herbs in your vego beds up high away from the rabbit’s
