It's Espalier Day! :: Installing a Star Jasmine Espalier to the Front of My Home!

[@loismackie1082]

It looks like your house now!

[@mygardeninglove]

I love how the zig zag planter mirrors the shape of the espalier - that planter is really growing on me.😍

[@jeannestephenson8011]

I noticed that as well. Looks like the both belong!

[@donnasantamaria8317]

Yes! I love how they tie together!😊

[@stephaniehorn1029]

Please don’t feel like things are moving slowly. This channel is absolutely the best. Keep it up. When your mind and body are sore and tired, take a break. There is no shame in taking breaks .

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Morning Everyone 🥰

[@swankyclass8654]

I have deemed that as your “Signature Touch”. You are so good with that process. Beautiful addition to your new space! Happy Fall gardening everyone.

[@curtreese3089]

You sound like Linda with the Signature Touch

[@marleneegan-hm7lr]

Good job soccer mom! Your daughters will never forget how you were there for them😊

[@jeuler7266]

Janey, I’m surprised this wasn’t the first project that you planted once your house was painted. It’s going to be amazingly. You should take your time to do it right and to spend time with your beautiful girls, never apologize for that!😊

[@POTOMAC_PIER]

It is going to be so beautiful! Don't ever apologize for taking the time to do things right.....Enjoying watching the transformation!!

[@karenfarris4585]

I had planted star Jasmine along my chain link fence. I guess you could say that my chain link fence served as my espalier. 😊

[@jeriwebb700]

What a great idea!

[@kkatmom]

Monrovia has a star jasmine, Madison Star Jasmine, that is zone 7-10. Which I’m very excited about! I live in zone 7! I’ve been curious about espalier for awhile now so I’m thrilled that you are showing how to set it up! I can’t wait to see yours grow!

[@thedirtygardener]

Y’all… 53k subscribers! I’m so happy for you. And now that your signature espalier is on the wall it’s definitely a DPWR home.❤

[@Donkiko-bz1lv]

I will do that when I buy my house next month

[@lanajackson3730]

Absolutely beautiful! What a difference the Jasmine espalier made. For only 6 wks in your new home, you and Jason have done an outstanding job! 👍🏻💕🦋

[@mariale7821]

Espalier is your garden ‘signature touch’, what Linda Vater would say. Looks amazing and great job.

[@adamarifoski7363]

Omg! Yess Janey how exciting. You finally got to add your own signature to your home😅 love it 🪴

[@twilde3754]

You are making tremendous headway -- love it!

[@salimorton641]

Janey, You added more you to the house! So nice having Jason helping. What a great guy! I can see your home becoming a peaceful, blooming garden home of your dreams. Thank you for sharing your journey with us ❣️

[@allenslater9234]

Oh Janey! The back deck looks awesome! I love the espellier. Your vision and hard work (Jason's too) is really showing. Love everything you have done. 💖💖💖🌻🌻🌻🌲🌲🌲

[@barbarathomas2471]

Good morning everyone!

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

Gardening will always be there....your children grow up so fast, and it's important that you are there for them! The espalier is coming out so nice. We will wait with anticipation to see the finished project. The transformation of your new home is amazing!

[@lisajaiprashad8978]

The deck looks great Janey!! What a difference paint makes.

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Janey🌺 . Well done . The star jasmine plants looks so beautiful their view will be amazing . Janey add other star jasmine near the bergola. I will make like this beautiful espalier. Have awonderful day 🌻🌺🌻

[@tammyrice1529]

Every single thing you do makes it look more like a home. It all looks great. Have a great weekend.

[@SunshineShellz]

The red is gone, thank goodness! So calming and neutral now😄 On to the fence! Now I want to try espalier 😆

[@CG-ce3sk]

Dang!!! You’re quick. Looks great!!! ❤

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Hahaha, I try!!

[@MelonneiseInman]

Your home looks so gorgeous with the new paint colors!! I love the color of your deck and cover!! Everything looks new and fresh!!

[@camicri4263]

Kids are priority! Nothing to be sorry about! Blessings 💕🤗

[@MariePotsPlants]

I just love Star Jasmine.. smelling that when you first walk up to the house will be so wonderful! 💚

[@beverlysmith9854]

What a difference that painting the deck made, I love watching everything come together. We moved in our cabin 4 years ago and we started with a blank slate too.I feel your pain but love your progress. When we first moved in ours kids that are grown wondered what we were thinking, now they love it.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

There’s something very special about making something your own 💗💗

[@jillkeim3587]

Pretty! You are very blessed to have Jason to help you. He is a gem!

[@donnajones2332]

Not finishing makes you relatable Janey!! I love your mom priorities! I always had two or three garden projects going. I was a teacher at the kids school, I led choirs & had so much going on but like you I dropped everything when it was time for my kids…their sports… their activities-I always put them first. And now with a 38 and a 35 year old who are really kind, loving, well adjusted people I know it was worth it and will be for you too!!♥️

[@shelleymalone4427]

You are one of those people who see the potential and then make the magic happen one day at a time.

[@shirleymortensen3166]

Just some encouragement, I did a no till garden a few years back, and it has done great!!! So press on!!! I watch every day.

[@kathleengray7434]

We have the same kind of soil in Oakhurst, California. My pick ax is a game changer for me.

[@CatatonicSlug]

Beautiful up there

[@jeriwebb700]

I love my pick ax!

[@Cynthia-zz1vi]

Gonna be beautiful, the place is starting to really look lived in and your getting it to be your own ❤

[@dianequist835]

That is going to look so fabulous, especially on the light colored wall. This may sound silly to you, but I'm going to throw it out there. You mentioned how you like to scoot soil in the hole with your foot. I totally get that. I've done it for years. Here lies the issue. Now at 65, my knee hurts. A lot! Hindsight and all, but I "could" have been more mindful of how I handled things over the years. I really dont want you to struggle with knee pain later in life. Scooting dirt with the foot at a sideways angle, I am told, is not good for the knees. Just a FYI from my orthopedic doctor.

[@dyanewilsonnanacupcake8504]

Well, thank you for igniting my plant passion. Yesterday I went to Green Acres in Roseville for the first time, and THEN we went to a second one. I now am the proud owner of MANY plants. I will be trying to do an espalayay (sp?) I have a hard time digging so I also ordered an auger for my drill. Wish me luck

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Good luck!! 💗

[@pamtocco1828]

Good morning, while watching u this morning I had an epiphany! U could have Christmas trees in the zig zag!food for thought! Lol!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Haha YES!!

[@darlenethompson1438]

I garden in zone 7 b and I have had star Jasmine for 6 years or more. It froze last year. Thought it died. Cut it back to the ground. And it's back. I have it growing on a Gazebo. It is beautiful and smells wonderful! Plan on doing this on my fence this year.

[@lyndastevens9726]

Oh I absolutely love Star Jasmine & this effort already looks amazing! I say take your time arranging the vines - that will be so satisfying at this point of your project!😎❣️

[@yvonnealexander3241]

The back deck looks so good now. Can't wait to see the espalier when it's done. It's going to make such a big difference

[@julieberg8236]

Thank you for the step by step directions. I'm in central MN so going with an English Ivy. I bought all of the items I need to begin putting the espalier up and will plant in the spring. You do not need to apologize for not finishing your project! Soccer is important!!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Oh in Autumn/Winter it’s going to be glorious with its pink & purple colours 🥰 here in the UK mine is already amber and gold 🥰

[@rosemarythyme6351]

Thank you for gifting us with two espalier videos! Family comes first. I wish every child had a Mom like you!

[@rhondafisher72]

Oh, Janey its looking beautiful.

[@nancypatterson374]

This will be beautiful, can’t wait to see the finished product! Janie never apologized for taking time with your girls ❤

[@sallyroosa2184]

I loved the instruction and that you stopped to take your girls. Your a great Mom and gardener❣️😆

[@millpanama007]

I can’t thank you enough for all your videos. I am a beginner and your videos are so inspirational and have helped keep me motivated. I love what you have done with your new house. I look forward to watching your videos everyday, please don’t ever stop making them. Question, I’m in SoCal zone 9a, I have a south facing wall that desperately needs something on it. After watching this video I’m strongly considering an Espalier. The wall gets super hot during summer, any suggestions you have for what plant to use for my Espalier would be greatly appreciated. Also, I’m in my garden everyday multiple times a day, I love gardening and not afraid of maintenance.

[@juliefurman1978]

Oh my word . ... Paint is AWESOME. The deck looks perfectly FINE ... gorgeous 💜

[@mealeaFlowers]

Good morning my friend

[@lucindafino6462]

The star jasmine is going to look so good on that wall. Now it’s your home!

[@RichardWheeler-ik2xl]

It's one of your special touches thanks for the beauty you bring

[@chrisferrante9544]

Can't wait to see it all finished. It's going to be beautiful. Paint looks fabulous! Have you considered eventually moving the Hoselink to the side of the house? Enjoying all your videos.

[@chrisferrante9544]

Oh, right. I forgot she mentioned that. @@joannam369

[@nancygrams9784]

Just what that wall needed!❤

[@jeriwebb700]

Exactly!

[@darlenencambria]

Janey, it is going to look beautiful. Great to see Jason helping you with your projects. My husband was great at helping me in the garden 🌻🧡

[@sandylmcallister]

Oh and your back deck looks amazing! Seems like you could keep that for a long time.

[@susanhaynes4502]

Love this so much, you could put some up lights to really show it up at night..🧡💚, you are moving very fast.

[@melissatolito9418]

The transformation is amazing thank for sharing and yes I very much enjoyed watching , replanting fall baskets for my courtyard today ❤

[@foreversettled9144]

Thank you for sharing.

[@lorinelson2806]

It's going to be beautiful!! I'm totally doing this on my house today!! I thought it always looked to intimidating. But easy peasy...I'm so EXCITED!! THANK YOU!!

[@arianjennings5110]

I just can't wait to see what she does with this property!!❤

[@GrandmaSandy]

Thanks for another great video and I always enjoy coming by and seeing what you were going to share today. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy, and Debbie.

[@KimatRevAcres]

Beautiful addition to the front of the house. It was nice to see a step by step tutorial and you made it look easy.

[@jeriwebb700]

I totally agree!

[@itsmewende]

Gosh now we have wait til Monday to see the end result 😊 I know you're super excited to finish, as we are to see it. Yes priorities, my 12 yr old grandson plays soccer, just had a game last night. I hope your girls win every game 😊🤞 You guys have a wonderful weekend.

[@marshagaravaglia8149]

Great video. You are a joy to watch❤

[@SusanMiddleton1]

I have 5 Firethorn (Pyracantha) shrubs along a purpose built wood support (like a fence) about 25’ long. White flowers in spring, orange berries in fall. Planted 2020 and just coming into its own. It’s along the driveway and gets a lot of comments. Great for someone who likes to prune. 😊 Espalier is not necessarily meant just for vining plants. The idea is you select branches to grow in the direction you need and prune away all others. Many shrubs and trees are used for classic espalier.

[@lollyreg97]

The deck is so much more beautiful!!! I think you're awfully industrious to tackle the espalier. It's such a lot of work but that's why you're so successful and popular! It's definitely what that wall needed. Great job!

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

This is going to be soooooo beautiful. It looks almost magical, I love it so much. Great video,thank you for sharing this with us. ❤❤❤

[@patriciaschafer3199]

I enjoy so much every little thing you do and look forward to seeing this all come to fruition...I think this is definitely my favorite channel with my morning tea! So uplifting and inspirational!🌿 than you for taking us along your journey!

[@GoodLifeGardening]

The grey and black looks so much better! Can't wait to see the finished espalier!

[@susieque933]

Janey there is actually an eye hook bit that you can get for your drill. Maybe you can get one before your next espalier. This turned out so beautifully!!! I always look forward to your videos❤

[@carolyost6733]

What a difference just covering up thay red deck. Night and day difference. The star jasmine will be gorgeous. Your Jason reminds me of my Craig!

[@lindaga820]

Looks so much better getting rid of the red on the deck !! Perfect place for the espalier !!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you!!

[@pam6204]

Well done indeed!! I have never seen the process applied. So beautifully explained thank you. Loads of love from South Africa.

[@sloth1490]

It’s amazing how early you must wake up in California to put out these videos. Pretty impressive. 👍🏻

[@judyrhine234]

I’m a proponent of Jim Putnam no dig method lots of compost and fine bark mulch or some sort of mulch. With moisture it will begin. To loosen up your soil. That should be your main priority

[@asianangie7209]

Deck and the espalier look fantastic!!!

[@kfetter9046]

At least you got the hard part done, and now you can just have fun "painting" the wall with the jasmine. Can't wait to see it next week. Have a great weekend!

[@LavenderandBluebirds]

This is the beginning of so many more beautiful things to come! It will be amazing to see the progress of your garden in another 6 weeks!

[@evitaslittleparadise]

Wow Janey! Your new home is really looking more and more beautiful everytime I look at your new vlog. That espalier is a gorgeous addition to that wall. 🌿Take your time, the Jasmine won't go anywhere. Enjoy your soccer! Have a wonderful day. - Evita😊

[@tyanhahumes]

Your espalier at your old house inspired me to do one of my own and I finally picked up the plants yesterday… went with a Confederate Jasmine and can’t wait to see it take shape!

[@jeriwebb700]

That is exciting! I would love to also add one. A little scared!

[@AnEmmeni]

Its going to look fantastic.

[@darleneoldakowski4966]

You are the Espalier Queen for sure .... it looks beautiful!

[@MamaDisney123]

You have accomplished sooooo much! I am in awe of you. Go to soccer. They grow up way too fast. Each day deserves to be treasured and enjoyed! Happy family weekend.

[@debw5203]

Very interesting and informative. I have never heard of an espalier. Super cool.

[@elizabethsmolens2752]

It's going to be gorgeous 😍...I live in Portland Oregon zone 7 and I have 2 potted star jasmine that have lasted at least 10 years in the pots! Also have one on the back fence (in ground). This last winter I thought the frost took my potted jasmine but I fed them and they came back! They are tough plants. You are going to love them.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

I’m so excited 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@blissful1689]

Thank you so much for your wholesome and hope filled content! I’m living vicariously😌🌱 Cheering you on in NC 🙋🏼‍♀️ “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.

[@Moonflowers11]

Wow, things are coming along. The back deck looks great. I would take out the front deck and replace it with a ground level patio. That would also solve your multiple level problems. I would get rid of the propane tank and just use electric for cooking. I have gas in my NY home and electric in Florida and I like electric stoves better now. An electric cook top gives you another flat surface in the kitchen to use.

[@jenmason40]

I want to try this next year. Live on Toronto, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 zone 5. You truly are an inspiration to me & so many people. Loving your ideas ❤😊

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

I hope you do!!

[@jmchatfield1]

The deck!! 🥰

[@sandylmcallister]

It's going to be beautiful.

[@deemckinney1486]

You are doing great… it’s good you’ll take your time and that’s the part. You really enjoy making it pretty. You’ll be refreshed on a new day and enjoy the whole process. Thank you for keeping it real and teaching us.

[@jeriwebb700]

Espalier Day!! It looks fantastic already! The deck also looks great, thank goodness the red is gone! Have you ever thought about growing nasturtiums? They are easily grown from seed and spread quickly, and they are edible. They have beautiful leaves and flowers and come in several colors. The only drawback is that they are an annual. They re-seed themselves though. They have trailing ones, or mounding ones. The take up a lot of space in the garden.

[@Albanyky]

Thank you for explaining about the star jasmine sleep,creep,leap because i have a star jasmine and i was thinking man its taking forever to grow now i know ❤️ thanks again

[@lisahahn173]

You are doing amazing things on your new property. Today is just an example of your vision coming to life. I'm in zone 8b PacNW...whenever I put new plants in the ground, I spend a little extra time to amend the planting hole. I know it's now always recommended, but that little extra effort seems to help with soil texture, drainage, and it just all around is an improvement to garden. I make a 4 or 5 part soil improvement mix...soil conditioner, compost, worm castings, sand/grit, leftover potting mix. A little of this worked into the hole, plus Sure Start ensures that my plants have a good chance of thriving! I love what you're doing to the new property! Enjoy.

[@teresaortiz9902]

The house is transforming so quickly. It’s coming along nicely! 💚

[@christophertaylor9826]

The espalier will be beautiful just take your time and enjoy the process.

[@marilyncanaday4862]

It is going to be so pretty! The paint on the house and deck also look so good!❤️

[@brooksyo1472]

What a cliffhanger! Looking forward to Monday's episode. 👩‍🌾🌱🪴

[@amandakoehne7302]

That soil looks tough! You should invest in a broad fork if you haven't done so already. It's great for breaking up and aerating compacted clay soil. And it's pretty fun to use!
