An Afternoon In the Shade Garden With Mimi

[@jaleinegreen7411]

Jenny, I absolutely love when you do your garden cleanups because I feel like I’m right there with you and Brynna, enjoying every moment of it! Wishing Creekside all the best for 2024!🥰

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

I'm so glad you enjoy them!

[@katherinecornette5315]

What a blessing to be able to garden with your mom! Happy gardening 🧑‍🌾

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

We are great garden partners!!!

[@jenniferhooks2454]

Absolutely enjoy gardening with your mama. Mine's passed on, but I remember her garden lessons.

[@nancypatterson374]

It’s so wonderful to see you and Mimi in the garden together, savor the memories. She is truly an amazing person and I love seeing her joining you working with the gardens at ‘Creekside’! ❤

[@christymclain9912]

I was wondering who Mimi was, but then someone else commented that that was your mother. That’s so nice that you can work with her in the garden.❤

[@heatherw.2751]

Mimi is adorable!

[@ytubechannel997]

Great tips. Shade garden looks so nice ready for spring.

[@sandistolle4874]

So relaxing to watch, and the results are lovely. Always grand to see Mimi, who’s a true expert in the garden. It’s clear she loves it. Hey Brynna! 🐾🐾🥰 Thank you for the holiday video.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@Edu_Kate]

That was fun. It's so relaxing watching others work. 😊 I'm glad you addressed the Ascot Rainbow plant. I have some in my (new) Z5A garden and don't have experience with it. Course, here in Minnesota, we'd normally have feet of snow covering our beds. Not this year. ☔ We have rain. And I am A-OK with that. I'm already searching for the new plants to purchase for my garden. Idle hands. 😈

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Wonderful! I hope you enjoy your Ascot Rainbow as much as I do!

[@violetamayer6298]

Now I'm motivated to go out and do some "cleaning " 👍👍😊

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Go for it!

[@cece_marie]

I love the Forest Pansy bed so much - it's a 'gardener's garden'. Thx for addressing the leaf litter conundrum - I also use both methods 💚

[@Irishmade17]

Great way to get those leaves gone. The Stihl backpack blower. 👍👍👍 Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!!!

[@livinnaturaltc42912]

I really enjoy cleaning my flower beds in the fall. I still have millennium alliums that have not gone to sleep. This is my first season planting them. I’m in Georgia zone 8a. Thanks for sharing!

[@Gardenmimi1950]

You always teach me something new😊

[@LetsGardenYall]

Good morning Mrs Jenny! Our weather has been so mild here that I’ve been doing the same as you and Mimi. Tackling one bed @ a time weeding, trimming, raking, & reapplying soil conditioner where needed. I must confess after our visit a few weeks ago to Creekside Nursery, you & Jerry inspired the hubs & on our drive home he kept saying we need to plant some tulips. So of course I obliged and went on over to Colorblends in hopes they had not totally sold out. I was able to order a mix of 250 tulips & 50 alliums. We spent Saturday using our Power Planter auger & planting the bulbs & some peony tubers that arrived last week.

[@rontibm1621]

I have similar oxalis weed in my garden as well. You just ignore them for a week and they take over.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Yep! It’s a nasty little weed 🤨

[@DebzZi]

And how!! They got into my gravel mulch and I ended up having to dig it all up to get rid of little boogers!!!

[@petegregory2903]

I wish sometime you would feature my friend Garden Queen. Her talents at arranging are unequaled. She is so talented and has a Sowetan’s genuine personality.

[@juliafiore120]

Hello, Jenny 👋🏼 I’m so jealous of your time with your mother in the gardens 🪴 What a great job! You are truly Blessed. Thank you for giving me a vision of what might’ve been. Living vicariously through you 😊~ Julia

[@mrs.m4702]

Hello, Jenny and Mimi❤. Beautiful work in the garden. Even though it’s winter time, your garden is still lovely to behold. I encourage anyone who needs help understanding hydrangeas to take your hydrangea 101 course. I had to take it three times to gain a working knowledge of the plant! Lol on me! I love the way you explain it so thoroughly.

[@arelettebreaux938]

Loved the video, Jenny. How blessed you are to have your mom in the garden with you! Awesome! Brynna is a gorgeous animal. I love seeing her. Happy Holidays!

[@lauravandien2363]

Nothing like a good clean up! Happy New Year!

[@joshuaw2902]

Nice gardening ❤

[@altheajackson5701]

Jenny your mom is so awesome helping you clean up your garden.❤ Do you help her in her garden and if so can you bring us along sometime 😊😅❤

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks Jenny. 🌲💚🙃

[@judyanderson8782]

We live about 2 hours south of you, and my daffodils have come up an inch out of the ground. Even with the cold temperatures, I'm so excited.

[@patjackson3506]

Great instructional video. Keep them coming. Thank you so much.

[@christycoalson36]

Good morning Jenny I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@ilotefft2526]

Looks so nice👍🏻

[@salimorton641]

So nice to have family who enjoy gardening and helping! Wishing you a successful 2024!

[@Ibrandeverything]

I’m in zone 7B/8A in NC. My Banana Cream II Daisies still have their beautiful green foliage. Should I cut them back now or wait until spring?

[@markhouston4473]

Looks really good. Will add any mulch?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Great question that I forgot to address! Yes we will come back and top dress the bed with Land & Sea Compost in the next few weeks 😊

[@markhouston4473]

Thanks for all your content, I live in Eastern NC

[@JenniferNonillion]

Finding an unusual number of tree seedlings may mean your area had undergone a mast year, when threes synchronize increased seed and nut production to reproduce. Jim Putnam talked about it. It’s fascinating.

[@deezahm9143]

Good day Jenny, so good yo see you and your Mom in the gardens. And Bryan's supervising your work...so fun. We still have some green here in southeast Michigan but temperatures chill begin to plummet again soon. Hope you all had a blessed holiday season. 🎄☕😊

[@terrysnyder127]

I have a lacecap type hydrangea that gets about 6 feet, blooms all summer into the fall on old wood. It’s too big for its location and the only way to prune it is hard down to a couple feet and sacrifice a years of blooms. However when I prune it down to a couple feet, it pushes 3-4 feet of new growth and back to where I started. If I leave it 6 feet it blooms beautifully. It’s about 25 years old. Any chance I can move it successfully?

[@Galsmith55]

Really enjoyed this informative video. Thanks Jenny.

[@jla110661]

I'm in zone 6a. With the hellebore clean up should I wait to trim back the old leaves till February since we still have a lot of winter left?

[@judyanderson8782]

I have wondered how you handle fall leaves. We're surrounding by deciduous trees. We've had to remove a few, but there seems to be more leaves. Go figure. I think I've run the leaf shredder over our lawn 12 times this year, and usually empty the two bags at least 10 times each mowing We've piled them in the garden and various places.

[@altheajackson5701]

Jenny when and how do we prune butterfly bushes? Thank you

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

In spring once you see new growth appearing 😊

[@ztag1p]

Thank you for the personal thoughts on having leaves, etc., left in the flower beds. It hasn’t been anything I’ve wanted to do, but this year I covered my rhubarb bed with leaves and truly hope I didn’t create an ideal spot for even more slugs, which really like my rhubarb. It’s at our cabin in zone 5B and I can’t get to it to remove the leaves until May. Sad to think of what might happen. Question: where can people get one of those super thick kneeling pads like you have? Thank you for your content.

[@pcrice-lr2dn]

Oxalis…….hate ,I have worked 5 years to remove,I am careful to throw it away,I dig deep to remove,I have even taken a paint brush with that stuff that I know I shouldn’t use and brushed it on ,you know it starts with a R. I don’t want bad comments,my last year attempt was 2 layers of cardboard with mulch on top ,the little bulbs with points on it made perfect circles throughout the cardboard, don’t know what my plan for this year is 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@ivybendgarden6406]

I love Mimi's vest - can you share the brand?

[@bettyjohoadley6566]

Jenny, I live in Arkansas and our nursery do not carry the land and sea compost. What do you recommend instead? Also, what pre-emergent do you use in your gardens?

[@barbarabaldwin5865]

Your hydrangea that blooms on old growth did not have any old blooms on it. Did you cut them off? Mine hang on all winter and I’m afraid to cut them off, that it might interfere with the next seasons blooms. Is there a difference in pruning and just cutting off the blooms?

[@kellymichalec9126]

I just placed my first order with you! I’m so super excited, I’m wondering if you will be adding more plants to your website? So far you have a great sample! If we have issues with the order or questions who do we contact?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

For questions about online orders, please email [e-mail]

[@juliabinford6500]

I have acres of forest with leaf litter… your new T shirt?? 😂 I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

[@nancynoascono747]

Hey Jenny. What do you think of releasing insects that will help remove the bad insects?

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Releasing certain insects in the open environment are statistically very difficult, we hope and plan to use them in the greenhouse, but because our houses open up means the beneficial insects can leave. So outside release means they can leave to your neighbors house. Jerry

[@carolynhowell860]

What is the name of the fern that your friend gave you on the corner please
