🌼 Winter Blooms and Evergreen Interest! 🌳 December Front Garden Tour: California Zone 9

[@samanthalonghurst-howes1465]

I really like you and Jason doing the garden tours together. Xxx

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Samantha! I like doing it with Jason too!

[@susanparker-heitel702]

I absolutely love the bench in front of the willow. I know you have talked about removing it but I hope it ends up like the zig zag planter and you end up loving it.

[@karenjensendd4403]

I completely agree!

[@smiley2477]

Me too!

[@ReneByers]

So agree...

[@LindaSilber]

I love that area, too. Maybe the longer it's there, the more they'll like it.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Well, we have at least a year to decide what to do with it! 😆

[@LL-lq7ei]

Fun to hear you both chatting about the garden and plants, during your tour today.

[@41murphy2]

I love it when you and Jason are together in the garden talking to each other about the plants. 👩‍🌾🥰👍

[@8helenjhouston8]

Jason your positive comments were lovely!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

He makes these tours so fun!

[@GardenerPhyl]

This tour was so much fun! I’m so proud of you, Jason - look at you having favourites and knowing the names of plants 👏🏼, also thank you for slowing down Janey and pointing out the plants she would have missed 😂. Janey, it’s really awesome to see your vision coming to life. Love how you both seem to be enjoying this journey together.

[@bmoist87]

I love the evolution of Jason getting into gardening with you. It’s been fun to watch. I try to talk plants with my husband but all I get is “uh huh” 😂

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

just keep bugging him 😉😆

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

Who knew Jason would become a plant dude! Nice teamwork and congrats on the future remodel of the tank…you will love the induction stove

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

I'm excited to try it! Thanks Michelle!

[@evelynwashington2840]

Hello Jason. Your comments added to this video. Great looking garden. So jeleous😊

[@eileenchang2173]

Jason you are showing just about the same passion as Janey ! I love when both of you converse during the tour ! 🥰🇨🇦

[@ashac7183]

It’s insane how fast the willow tree grew! If you compare it to the planting video it’s just remarkable. It’s always been my favorite tree, but unfortunately I don’t have room for one of my own.

[@paulabaggett735]

Monty is growing up fast!

[@maureenodendahl5057]

December 2024 Back & Front Garden Tours!! Wonderful seeing Both Tours!! Internet was off for a few days.

[@marian7440]

Can’t wait to see how you prune the pomegranate! Love all the work you and Jason have done! It’s quite amazing and inspiring!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Marian! I'm nervous but excited about pruning the pom! 😬

[@marilyncanaday4862]

You two have accomplished so much in a short time! I enjoy each step along the way. Thanks for sharing!❤❤

[@laurasilvera3766]

Yeah, team pomegranate present!! Our time is coming! Wooooo!! 🌳🌳🌳

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

haha woo hoo!

[@GardenHappy]

Monty is stealing the show and highlight of your videos. Merry Christmas Janey and Jason you both are so blessed and doing such a FANTASTIC job on our property! 💙💚💛🧡💜 Liz in California

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Merry Christmas my friend! Thanks for all your sweet support! You're the best!

[@victoriamcbean8492]

Thank you for the garden tour, this feeds my gardening soul. Since my zone 4 garden is gray, frozen and snowy right now I am totally enjoying yours!!

[@dellablair5854]

Love the witty banter! And the plants

[@helle4seasons]

Have you thought about Paperwhites for your December garden? 🤩😍😃💚

[@doreen9838]

Monty has turned into a great dog. Love him forever

[@GardenHappy]

My thoughts exactly Doreen! ❤️👍🥰

[@ewadyl6555]

you really transformed this property. a well earned congratulation pat on the back is in order

[@sheilastromberger2275]

Great tour, enjoy Jason’s input. If you don’t like the look of the dead foliage on your Russian Sage and hardy hibiscus during the winter, you can cut them back without harming the plant. I’m in zone 5 (we often get -20 temps, so a good 50 degrees colder than you), I cut mine back in the fall and they come back reliably.

[@eileenchang2173]

Same !🇨🇦

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

good tip! I wonder why they recommend leaving the ugly foliage? For even colder zones?

[@sheilastromberger2275]

@ 🤷🏻‍♀️I do sometimes leave a few inches of the hibiscus so I remember where they’re at come spring. I tend to move plants around a lot so remembering isn’t always easy😁. The russian Sage I use my hedge trimmers and cut it as close to the ground as I can, but I don’t know if you can kill Russian sage. Ive tried and it seems like it multiplies instead.

[@debbiewilliams1544]

It is really Amazing what you have done with your property in a little more than a year! You should definitely be patted on the back! Congratulations! I look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@PaulaSwann501]

I gave myself a Christmas gift of your plants, coffee and sunshine gift box and was so excited for it to arrive this morning. The note included in the box was such a sweet surprise. I hope your family has a wonderful Christmas.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Yay Merry Christmas Paula! ☕️☀️

[@peggy-ann1961]

Hi Jason, hi Janey, hi Monty from -24 Celsius zone 3! 🥶 Going back up to -6 on Friday though! ❄️ 🥳🇨🇦

[@botanykey]

You're gonna love the induction cook top!! You do have to use the right types of pans with it but it's awesome.

[@Elizawal333]

You can propagate the LC sedum as long as you don’t sell it.

[@rebeccas.7584]

I’m so glad I found your channel! Being a local, I can’t wait to have you over when my yard is more done.

[@containergardeningRSA]

Hi Janey! I'm really happy to hear your opinion on propagating proven winner's plants, I've been having the same thoughts for a while and I've been going back and fought on weather to propagate my evolvulus blue my mind. I don't want to make someone's hard work for so many years look wothless by duplicating their product for my own gain, especially as a youtuber. Thank you for highlighting that!❤

[@ReneByers]

Hi Jason🙋‍♀️ Wishing you a successful Fantasy Football season.

[@budgetgardeningvita]

I love seeing all the pretty color where you live. We are currently sitting under snow which is also pretty in a different kind of way. ❄ Happy gardening! 🌸

[@ShadowNight-kt3dz]

It’s so fun to see how different plants behave on different sides in the country. In California, it’s awesome to see begonias still going. Here in Louisiana, begonias usually will die down in the winter, however our petunias are winter flowers. We are a very humid zone 9. I also cannot get verbena to do well for me.

[@jdakat88]

Everything looks amazing. What a difference since you’ve moved in.

[@peggyfrommanitoba7310]

Great tour Janey and Jason! So much colour especially the beautiful Surefire rose begonias. I didn’t pay attention to their potential height when I planted some in my window boxes. By the end of the summer I couldn’t see out of my kitchen and dining room windows. 😂 Will definitely plant some (in containers) next year! 🌺🇨🇦

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

haha! Well, at least you had something pretty to look at!

[@tlcgarden2300]

Nice video with the both of you!. Keep us posted on how you like cooking with induction. ❤M

[@sherimatthews2958]

Glad you took out the yarrow because it’s your garden and it needs to bring you both joy!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Sheri! It was like a big weight taken off my shoulders when I took those out!

[@JoyfulJerseyGardening]

Looking forward to watching your garden wake up in the Spring!

[@debs-more-plants]

So jealous of your winter blooms! Love you two doing the tour together!

[@vzcaballero9852]

I do like this tour Best for me to watch I being followed you since when you were in the before house

[@tracythomas343]

Your sure fire rose begonias are so beautiful ❤

[@drmistermaster]

my verbena de la mina is also blooming and still gorgeous in december

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Janey and Jason huggers! Much love. Iceburge rose is so lively. At last is awsome also.!😊

[@Tag4lyf3]

Beautiful orange trees absolutely amazing to have organic juice at home!❤

[@xs8372]

Have you thought about limbing up and tightening the shape of your citrus and fig trees think they would looks great with a good structural pruning. To allow the beauty of the trunks show a little more, and so you can see what’s planted near them a little bit better think a lot of things get lost under the unruly canopies.

[@proudmomma7095]

Hi Janey and Jason, how about Little Bunny fountain grass for your lavender area. It is a 10-12” high grass which will fit with the scale of your area that the lavender river is in. You can’t have a grass that grows as full as some or it will be off scale. I love the Little Bunny!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

That one is on my list for sure!

[@bcfran3g844]

I have a large Thermador induction cooktop. 5 years in. It works great.

[@foreversettled9144]

The girls need to put some fairy lights and differing shades of purple ornaments on the deodar?? Tree. Everything is very special. Good vision. You are blessed. Have a blessed day alp.

[@nancymaier4289]

Looking so nice. I am wondering about a lawn. Are you planning on planting an area of grass to rest your eyes? I love the fire begonia!

[@caroleking1834]

We live in Tennessee and of course are close to Florida, but I've always looked for California oranges in the grocery store because I've always thought they are the best.

[@Milah_Renee]

It’s amazing what you’ve accomplished and how much it’s filled in already. Have you made a time lapse video? If so, I need to go back and watch that. Love the orange trees!

[@sherimatthews2958]

We we we 😉 I love to hear you say “we.” I’m sure it’s a hard transition since you’ve been used to doing it all yourself for so long but since Jason left his job to do DPWR with you full time (which is super cool) it’s nice to hear you say “we” and “our” garden instead of “my” even if he isn’t behind the camera. Not a criticism at all. Just a happy observation with understanding that it’s still a new thing and a paradigm shift. You’re better together!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

It's a habit I'm trying to break! 😆

[@deanneneves8392]

Great tour! The yard looks beautiful. Love you guys together! 🧡

[@lindathompson8100]

Love the tour guys thanks so much

[@jeanbrewer576]

Hi Janey and Jason and of course Monty. You should try monkey grass it's not very tall. Your gardens are gorgeous 😍 thanks for sharing, have a wonderful rest of the day.

[@Feb1827]

Down here in San Diego, some people leave the fruit on their pomegranate trees as they loose their leaves, and it looks like fading red ornaments! It’s gives a cool, Charlie Brown Christmas Tree vibe. Maybe something to try next year?

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

GREAT IDEA!

[@KendraArnold-q9n]

I just received my first chip drop today. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

yay!

[@lindahughes530]

Looks good ❤️

[@yingvang1276]

How about planting Mexican feather grass with the lavender? I love how they sway in the breeze

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Janey and Jason 🌻🌺. I enjoyed watching this beautiful tour and you talk about your trees and plants in the garden . Jason is right. I read about verbena de la mena it has fragrant smell . Why you can't smell it Janey ? . I will look for this pretty virbena . Have a wonderful day . 🎄🌻🎄🌻.

[@LindaParra-kr4kl]

Janey, my Plant Identifier says that thunbergias is a black eyed Susan Vine.

[@pieranneliese]

I think the more dusty colored plants look so good and really pop against a black fence or black mulch, but when they’re in a lighter colored environment they can kind of look dead from afar, which makes it hard to find the right place for them. Can’t wait to see what you plant in the yarrow’s place! 😊

[@patriciacole8773]

Try the giant pink pw petunia. I honestly think it could be a temporennial for you 💯💥✔️❣️

[@twilde3754]

I'm taking out the Yarrow in my garden next spring. After 3 years I just don't like it.

[@liv4wkn632]

Hey Janey, please talk about or show us the roadside area where Jason planted all those daffodils. Curious as to whether or not they made it and if they will bloom come spring time.

[@cdbasey]

Have you considered Karl Foerster grass in your landscape? I think it is the grass that you see at the stoplight at Hutchison Dr exit off of 113. That vista is one I'd love to recreate if I had larger land to work with. Happy gardening :)

[@rbaker3086]

Mexican feather grass would maybe be a good option for your area beside your lavender. I am not sure if it would be too tall for you, but just an idea.

[@Aileen-so9fx]

Loved seeing your December garden! I believe lemon coral sedum is the trademark name for sedum mexicanum. It’s not patented, and can be propagated. Erin the impatient gardener has a great video where she talks about propagating sedum mexicanum on camera and sneaks in some educational content about patents (can’t be propagated) and trademarks.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

ooh I'll have to go watch that thanks!

[@SuzanneTheme]

Well done😊

[@sabrinassuburbangarden9448]

Morning

[@MargieAmos-qd1zi]

Landscape fabric will keep the smaller rocks from sinking into the dirt.

[@ashac7183]

According to AI, “De La Mina Verbena", has a lightly scented, citrusy aroma with a hint of floral notes, often described as a delicate lavender-like fragrance due to its purple blooms; the scent is considered "clean" and refreshing, similar to the typical verbena scent with a subtle herbal undertone. My favorite type of scents are subtle, citrusy, clean and herbal. Now I want a candle 💕😂

[@28tv.]

Wowo Video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@terriejohnson4884]

Good morning Janie & Jason. Love the tour. Question: Do you think the orange 🍊 tree will cast too much shade on the Gatsby Gal Hydranga?

[@botanykey]

Have you heard any concerns about HLB (citrus greening) spreading to your area? Here in Florida it is awful but UF-IFAS is studying solutions to hopefully eliminate it or at least develop resistance in plant varieties.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

They've had a few isolated instances down in Southern CA that they think came from infected plants, but nothing else. We all are watching for signs though!

[@jeaniemcdaris8276]

❤

[@miekowu5139]

Sorry, but where did you get that long vest? I need one! I looked in your Amazon store but it’s not there. 😊

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

nordstrom! I think the brand is zella

[@miekowu5139]

@ , thank you! 😊

[@JermaineGertse]

Fun fact. Podocarpus is actually a conifer😂😂😂

[@doloresramirez3289]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌲🌲🌲

[@Nithyalya]

😅Hi Jason 😂

[@margiemather7206]

Do you ever answer any questions from any of your viewers? It would be nice if you did.

[@peggy-ann1961]

Yes they do, but they can’t get to them all.

[@donnaterrell938]

Great job guys! Fun to watch it all evolve...you've accomplished so much!
