An Adventure That Didn’t Go as Planned | Mental Health Day | Spontaneity

[@vanessamarie1582]

What a treasure of a place for you found! And such a sweet pup❤

[@Gems-of-Hope-Rocks]

Those Brazilian Orchids were GORGEOUS!!!

[@DENISEKNIGHT-qp7dd]

Honeysuckle vines would do well on the hill for the erosion problems.

[@micheleyoung6118]

Good morning Jami

[@loriearnsberger2410]

And the fragrance of honeysuckle in the woods is awesome!

[@robincollins4687]

one word of caution. If you have any allergies esp. hay fever, honeysuckle may be a bad choice. Stand next to blooming bushes for 15 minutes & you'll know if you are sensitive to it. Walking past the local college on way home from high school I learned the hard way. Honeysuckle bushes all around the campus & I could barely breathe after 10 mins.

[@brendaslike8606]

Honeysuckles also attract alot of bees for tge beehives you want:)

[@loriearnsberger2410]

Jami wants bees for pollination!

[@marytoles6257]

Fuschia is my favorite hanging basket that I get every summer.

[@galady8632]

That was a fun and interesting adventure. My favorite part was Jami's enthusiasm and joy! I realized I was sitting here, alone, with a huge smile on my face. Jami's happiness was definitely contagious! And that is a beautiful thing. Yet another of Jami's admirable traits.

[@carollazarr3004]

She & Lester N' Co, are also my Happy Place. My day would be a drab grey without them.

[@darlenehensley43]

The golden rain tree is one of my favs in my yard. The blooms are nice but the seeds pods after are even better.

[@jerrilynhenson9024]

I recognize a lot of those plants. Weeping Willow branches can be brittle. And what you see of the top of the weeping willow then think there is 3 times that size for the root system. So be careful where you plant it. Love fuschia.

[@susandilts3594]

Mwah bye Lester we're going on an adventure with Jami. Happy Tuesday morning.

[@cherylfauth9543]

This was done on Saturday.

[@karencrisp824]

I think all ladies on Morrow Hill would love this place. I suddenly want to move to Texas myself to live by this place.

[@sanster7700]

Bradford and Cleveland pears are invasive species here in Indiana, so they aren't sold. Folks are advised to replace them with native species. Love your trips. Hard to wait until late May to plant.❤🪴

[@joycejohnson7640]

❤ Jami that was a beautiful video. I'm sure that you thought that you were in heaven finding that place. Yes unplanned journeys can lead you to exciting places.

[@cathyreed6180]

One thing about weeping willow’s they’re beautiful, but they like a lot of water.

[@deannawesenberg4211]

Also they are a very messy tree. They constantly drop branches and limbs.

[@angelaknoll5187]

and their roots run to water which is not great if you have pipes nearby. I had one cost me a small fortune in the early 90s.

[@amyrobles4780]

Omg Jami I thought for a minute you was bringing home another dog! 😂

[@IreneMarsden-g2p]

Weeping Willow roots can be a big problem.

[@LIPA516]

Right the roots look for water n don't care what they do to get to them ! I say a big no

[@shaynehofstetter2869]

As long as its planted well away from infrastructure. Down by the river could help with erosion? Scares me how they have lost so much of the high ridge in just a couple years.

[@paulagreeno]

In NC there is a bounty on Cleveland and Bradford Pears. The state will give you 5 native trees for every Bradford/Cleveland you take down. They are non-native, invasive trees and split or break really easily in storms. The blooms smell like rotten fish. But, developers love to put them in because they are cheap and grow fast. ☠️

[@judiharting5265]

I go on “I wonder where that road goes” adventures - I have found some really neat places that I would have never found if I didn’t spot a neat road.

[@purepoison618]

Morning Jami - Loved, loved, loved this ‘Jami’s Journey’ and the part I loved the most was, you took us along for the ride! 💕 Wishing you and all who visit your page today, a terrific Tuesday!

[@stilllearning8360]

Hey Pure!!! Hope you have a great Tuesday also!!! 💗

[@purepoison618]

Awww, thanks stilllearning! That is mighty thoughtful of you!! ☺️

[@colleenmckinney1846]

That was a great place you found ❤

[@deborahbell3518]

That Proven Winner Limelight Hydragae is wonderful.

[@marytoles6257]

Yes,a friend of mine has a couple bushes and she dried some for me and I have them in a vase in living room year round.

[@sandyhall9725]

I have the strawberry one and it looks just like a strawberry ice cream cone

[@melissareifenheiser8392]

That was a awesome garden center. So jealous I would have gone home with a car full. Lol

[@carrievornkahl6442]

We had a Belgian Malinois named Max. He was the best. Miss him every day..

[@jennyb.2800]

Mine was named Herman and he loved the water almost as much as he loved herding all us kids! 😅

[@carrievornkahl6442]

@@jennyb.2800 Max would herd a ball all around the yard. Was so cute.

[@erikaroy2549]

You could plant a huge amount of honeysuckle to keep the deer away from your plants at the JL Ranch. You may find they will go after your plants so plant (away from the other plants) some honeysuckle. Deer love it. If you plant something for them they will stay away from the plants you don't want to share with them. I know you don't have plants there yet but when and if you do it's not a bad idea to plant for nature and you! I love how enthusiastic you are! I love gardening too. I've been gardening for about thirty years or so.

[@erikaroy2549]

I love Columbine Aquilegia! It's one of my favorite flowers. There is a wild version too. It comes in yellow, pink, blue or purple and probably red too. I am pretty sure it likes dappled light or part sun part shade.

[@777SavebyGrace77]

Columbines are Colorados state flower. They grow wild here at higher elevations. They like cooler temperatures, so Im not sure how well they would do in you sweltering Texas heat.

[@sherryturner8729]

I knew where you were before you even said. I've pet that dog before. It's been there for a few years. My daughter has taken me there to get me a birthday gift. I got a wind thing from there too.

[@kirenjattan9885]

Jamie, the nursery is sooo beautiful. Those bell type looking plants at the start of your nursery tour. Are excellent in hanging baskets. My mums got them, and they grow like weeds. Omg I'd walk out broke😂.

[@thepinkflamingostrikesagai7319]

I thought "The Itchy Coochie River" in Florida where I live was a funny mispronunciation. But "Take A Poo Creek" is funny too.🤣🤣

[@laurelmullen268]

Weeping willows love water. They grow extremely fast and are dirty, dropping leaves and very buggy. They break easy, too. Best put in an area with poor drainage by itself. Not near houses or barns. Pretty but nasty.

[@tammydavis2057]

I'll live it through you. My legs don't let me anymore. Once or twice in and out of the car is all my legs will do

[@SmokingCats]

same here. When I was her age, I was doing all that running around and planting like crazy. Part of me misses it but part of me does not. My bank account is happier. haha

[@sandrarobinson9582]

Just notice you have taken the hanging sign and put it on top of the gate entry like JL Ranch. That will make it easier for the tall truck that will help stop pasture from being torn up

[@mj.merdian3497]

Redbuds are the state tree of Oklahoma. Now. Right now the redbuds are in bloom. Beautiful.

[@cynthiastafford479]

The red buds are blooming in the bootheel of Missouri right now and Dogwood trees showing some color

[@cynthiastafford479]

No plans of a destination "is the plan". KIM'S was screaming girl trip. Oh what a find!❤

[@lesley4215]

Fun fact, Illinois has designated the Bradford Pear tree's as an invasive species and that they should be destroyed. Apparently they are choking out our native White Oak tree's.❤

[@JUDE27053]

Yep! Bradford Pears are spreading into the woods here in NC. In fact if you dig up one and turn it in, you get a replacement native tree for free. Cleveland Pears are just a beautiful, don't spread seeds and don't lose branches like the Bradford does.

[@lillianblair6071]

Good afternoon Jami. Love road trips and seeing places never seen before. Spontaneity can be fun too. I really thought you were bringing a dog home with you lol. Pretty looking German Shepherd tan colour with a bit of black. She was very calm with all the people walking around the yard. Inside that home was interesting with all the different gits, niknaks that they had. Hmmmm. Thanks for taking us along on such a beautiful day. HAGD.

[@CJ-sg3vs]

Jami we have rain trees in central Florida. They come in all colors. They are totally beautiful when they are in bloom.

[@kahleenjomartin9828]

Just remember a weeping Widow roots grow very deep and will drink from the pond.

[@AlisonEngel]

The pink and white flowers in the hanging basket are Fuchsia. I have them in the UK, but they prefer shade. Mine are blue and red. There are so many types and you can grow new ones from little stems really easily.

[@ruthanderson1758]

Just a suggestion - you may want to look into whether it's a good idea to have a weeping willow next to your pond (especially at LHL) - their roots go deep and they suck up a lot of water and with possible droughts every summer, they could deplete the water in the pond(s) and that's not a good thing. Catalpa trees have the most beautiful flowers in the spring that look very similar to orchids - the tree can get very large and when covered in flowers looks incredible. Columbine are gorgeous and are perennials.

[@maryanntulloch3363]

Smiled the whole way through because you kept saying how beautiful each plant was! 🌳🌿🌱🪴🌼🌻🌺 🇨🇦❤️🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦

[@carringtonkelleybirnie4569]

Such fun what you are doing, leaving home and going where you haven't been, and ending up at a nursery! My kind of adventure ❤❤❤

[@cocoaboucher8886]

Reminds me of my highschool days in Florida, a cookie for lunch and no plan at all!

[@cathyknight7631]

Hi Jami! This is a great trip. I think what was marked as Christmas Cactus is actually a Thanksging Cactus (the leaves are different). You could always take a starter of the Cactus from Gigi or Lou. They are so easy to start from a 4 leaf stem, I use rooting hormone as a booster.

[@kellymcenhill7726]

Omg, plants are so reasonably priced over there. We would generally pay almost double that price for a plant that size in Scotland

[@maryvickery90]

Have you ever seen a curly weeping willow. I had a neighbor that broke off a branch and told me to put in water until it grew roots. It grew 2 stories in just a couple of years

[@DebraPetrovich]

We were at a Nursery today. It is my birthday and Hubby wanted to buy me a tree. We have just moved in to a new house last fall and I am ready to start planting, but it is a little early in Southern Indiana. Will wait another month and figure out what a want and where I want it. But love where you were today. Awesome place!

[@catheriner6804]

Happy Birthday! 🎂🍧🎁💐

[@yepimbecky]

I love weeping willows.

[@trppro7640]

Fuchsia is the name of the flowers that you noticed in the planter when you got there. They are like little bells hanging down. They are so colourful and tough but one thing-ants really love them. I needed a break from fencing and longhorns so this is a perfect day to do a trip. We still have a little snow and ice here. It’s cold and windy. I hope that spring can come anytime. It’s lovely to see all the flowers. 💐 It’s a gorgeous garden shop. I would spend too much there. Look what Jamie found. I have a feeling you will be back there again 😊

[@BrendaT24]

Gigi left her Christmas cactus out during the freeze! I wanted to just cry 😢 nice adventure Jamie

[@paulasweeney7358]

Lester's twitching and he doesn't even know why lol.

[@traceysouders9840]

Jami there is always room for just 1, 10, 100 more flowers. Flowers are like potato chips. You can always squeeze them in somehow . I love driving and just stopping at random places. Just taking a drive you can stumble upon the neatest places.

[@carynantes8127]

Congratulations on finding Kim's Home & Garden on your adventure. That's one place I wouldn't mind venturing into on my next trip to Houston. Those plants were beautiful! We have a similar place on the outskirts of town here in central Florida. You'd love it too. The nursery section is quite large, and there's beer, wine, ice cream, and a farmer's market section indoors. Have fun planting when you return home. Hugs...😊

[@BrandAuroraDesignsLauraPars]

Your absolutely right Jamie, sometimes the best adventures are the unplanned ones❤❤❤

[@roxannelomas8918]

Weeping willow is my favorite tree.

[@paulabaker5848]

They are pretty but, when the mature they are very dirty and tend to be weak and break off limbs.

[@BeingNancy]

I love them, too. They remind me of the south. I'm not sure if they can survive in the Northeast.

[@joannejacques6135]

They are pretty but look for a source of water and cause damage

[@donnale3372]

I also heard roots wrapped around everything. Don't plant them to close to your house.​@paulabaker5848

[@Saints4life]

@@BeingNancythey are in the Northeastern Pa. Not sure about further north though. They’re beautiful but because of how big it gets and the roots I went with the Weeping Cherry. 🌸

[@sharonfreemanpace1011]

I have a Christmas cactus that is over 60 years old. She's a beauty! I am a plant collector too. Sadly I have gotten too old to carry them in and out of the house so I downsized. Willows are one big gnat drawer!! Of course the critters could eat the bugs😅

[@deeannawettingfeld2044]

Jami this reminds me a little of Peddles From The Past that Brooke and Jason Smith go to.

[@jenniferharlow6178]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I could listen to you sing the dang alphabet Jami ❤ So beautiful ❤

[@vandaroe5328]

Alphabet, Jami could count to a thousand singing and most of us would listen. But if she included sheep, she may relax us to much and her audience falls asleep.

[@chrismcdonald5363]

Good morning, Jami! What an amazing find! I wish I could find something like that around here! Although…. I do have an amazing Amish greenhouse that I visit every year for my birthday and am able to get the most beautiful flowers for my deck! You make me wish that I could get started now! Southern Illinois makes me have to wait a few more weeks but I can’t wait!!

[@nancyandrews8891]

Hey Jami, When I saw You walking away from Kim's Garden, I thought, " WOW Jami didn't buy anything unless that's a little package of flower seeds...."🫤❗️AND when You sit down in Your car, You said," I bought some things❗️🙂😉❣️❗️" lol I Love Your Videos Jami❗️Have a great day... Nancy

[@lauram5100]

Jami- Cleveland and Bradford and any cultivar form of Callery pears have been banned to sell in many states because abuse they are ATROCIOUSLY invasive. Please don’t promote the sale or planting of them as they seriously take o er an area and beyond. Ohio, IL, MI AND KY have done this. They’re horrible! Thank you for understanding!

[@maryvickery90]

I have driven through Red Bud many times. They have a great bbq place called Burnt Ends in the center of town.

[@katyflex09]

I live in an area in Wisconsin that I’m 10 minutes away from several of these types of stores. I love going to these in the spring, I just lost my mother in law, who is very much my mom 2 days ago & I take her every Mothers Day to pick out her plants. My husband will then plant everything, with her guidance of course, so it’s going to be hard this year to not do that. The song you were singing about Cottonwood Tree is one of my favorites songs.

[@marymurray2586]

A weeping willow near the pond would make the pond full of its leaves. They drop branches like crazy.

[@phyllislowry6265]

What an absolutely beautiful place! That house is just to die for! All of their plants look like someone polished their leaves with oil & they looked so healthy! You mentioned the red bud trees & yes Redbud ILL is a place I know. When I lived outside of St Louis & drove into to work everyday on I-44, in the spring their was a hill that was across from Lone Elk Park, that was full of blooming redbuds! It was beautiful & I just wanted to pull over & stare for awhile! Dogwood trees were also plentiful in rural Mo. I had a snowball bush & a lilac bush & the scent was amazing when they bloomed! You need to plant milkweed so the Monarch butterflies will have food to eat when they migrate! I remember milkweed & honeysuckle from when I was a kid. I can't wait to see what you bought & where you plant it!

[@angelnolan2840]

Wow, what beautiful plants they have. A word of caution with a willow tree, do not plant near your septic or water lines, they like a lot of water and the roots will try to get into the septic lines or water lines. I think they are a beautiful tree but can cause issues, but by the front pond at the J&L should be okay. You were just scouting to see if it was worth the time for Stephanie to go to. LOL

[@SmokingCats]

I just posted the same warning about willows. I got a pussy willow bush from Lowe's for a dollar. It was just a pathetic stick. That sucker grew to be over 8 ft tall and 8 ft wide. It was beautiful but I had no idea it would go after my water/sewer lines as it is a moisture hog. I didn't want to remove it but I had to. So it is not just weeping willow trees but any willow needs to be looked at side-eyed.

[@theresauhlenhake6962]

Wow I would love to go there. All the Stuff! Definitely a destination for a girls trip. Next time You’ll have to bring the small horse trailer. You could spend all day there. We have a small farmers market in my town with a combination of fruit/vegetable/ frozen meat and crafts from people In the area. I love a good farmer’s market!
