I'd love to see more waddle fence videos I find it so interesting!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you! I do too!

[@Sophia-dj3wq]

I love the waddle fence!!!! It is coming along nicely. Please film it, I enjoy watching your videos very much😃‼️‼️

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you! Will do Sophia 😊

[@joellenjones3410]

OMG! Your fence is looking gorgeous! You make me want to put one around my garden!🙌🏼🥰

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Go for it Joellen! You got this 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@mirandabeaudry7936]

I’ve been working on a wattle fence here too. First attempt, I placed the verticals too far apart so I couldn’t get good tension on the branches so I’ll be making a second attempt soon also! You’re not alone in the trial and error!!!

[@AlexasGarden]

I can already order a fence. I have met the master 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

😆😆😆

[@caroleoff6028]

You can also juice your limes and freeze them. I do this with all the lemons, I always have lemon juice in my freezer. I would love to have some of those limes. You could even put out front and put free on them, someone can always use.

[@NessaT419]

Hello from Jersey! U r the 1st video I watch while doing my makeup. Didn’t see urs this morning 😅 I was happy to see u were able to upload one today. Thank u!

Oh thanks Nessa!! Yes I accidentally scheduled it for the wrong time! Thanks for watching later in the day! 💗

Don't worry about how many times you have filmed the waddle fence. I find it very interesting and sweet lady you are never boring. Love your personality and your enthusiasm for your beautiful garden.

Good idea Pamula!!

[@KP-gw5zv]

Just a quick note, the waddle fence looks great even though you are not done. Love it. Also I live in Southwestern BC and that is where we call it Raincouver and it is a rain forest. I grow Daffs and tulips and all the wonderful bulbs and we don't experience flatness of the plants even in the rainiest time. There have been times were we get 11 days in a row with rain. Everything enjoys the rain and it helps with the grass and such to store all the stuff they need in the times when it is dry and hot. Anyways enjoy the rest of your day. Oh just one more thing we have construction people whom will pour and lay the concrete down even in the rain and everything does well.

[@bethreisman8869]

I think the waddle fence is so interesting. I applaud you for sticking with it. You are doing a great job! We’ll done. 👏👏👏

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks so much Beth! 😊

[@tracytracyWM]

Fence is looking great! Can't wait to see it all done. The rain is driving me nuts, lol. I know we need it but I hope it clears up for my birthday next week. I'd love to spend the day planting in my new raised beds 😅

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you! 😊

[@karenplante3801]

It's adorable!! I was thinking that it would be so cute to go get some small terracotta pots to put over the tops of the posts you used, very English garden looking

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thats a great idea Karen!

[@mandyt8178]

The little pots are a great idea and would also make it safer for kids and guests.

[@salimorton641]

Don't be so hard on yourself. From what I saw in this video, the fence is looking good! You just have to work around this whacky weather! Have a good day Janie. Praying you don't have a flash flood. Be safe.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Sali! It’s progress!

[@Sazza21]

I’m with you on the rain. In the same area and I am over it!

Yes! It’s time for some sustained sun in our parts ☀️☀️

[@daygirl2659]

It looks so charming Janey!! You should be proud of your hard work and perseverance👏🏼Your tulips and paper whites are so beautiful 💖They certainly can lift your spirits 🌷

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you so much! You all keep me going with your kind words 💗

[@KC-re1de]

That river rock path you have going into the kitchen garden takes up a lot of growing real estate, especially since the garden is so small. Have you considered taking that path out and continuing the wattle fence in a straight line?. The garden is small enough so I wouldn't worry too much about being able to reach things.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

That’s an interesting idea! Thanks for watching 😉

[@twilde3754]

Looks fabulous! I have something kind of like this in mind...but can't really attempt it for a couple more months -- Denver will still have more cold days and some snow. Love what you've done!

[@nadaferris5928]

5” of rain here in the east bay hills overnight! Poured all night long but a bit of sun now then rain again tomorrow afternoon.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Very similar to what we are experiencing over here, stay dry Nada 💗

[@grinchis40]

I love the look of the wattle fence!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks! I think it has such character!

[@judymckerrow6720]

I don’t know if you like the look but you could put tiny clay pots upside down over the stakes. You could probably even paint them brown so they wouldn’t stick out so much like the terracotta would. Just a thought. ❄️💚🙃

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thats a great idea! aren't they supposed to trap earwigs too? ill look into it!

[@anacervantes1946]

It looks so nice, good job! it has inspired me to make one, yeah as soon as the rain stops here in Hollister, I just found you and subs'd looking forward to learning so much from you, thank you

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Yay! Welcome Ana, so happy to have you here 💗

[@karlaperson7368]

I love your fence! I think it looks fantastic! I can so sympathize with your ambivalence about the rain. I live in Nebraska where the weather is SO unpredictable! We have recently suffered through drought conditions. We farm, so rain is greatly appreciated most of the time. But, sometimes it doesn't know how to stop. Both extremes bring their own problems. We aren't getting a ton of moisture right now, but it's much better than last year. Just so many gray, cold, windy days right now. But, spring will come to us, as it always does! I am planning to enjoy every hour of spring weather when it gets here!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

I love that Karla! We take what we can get, right?!

[@sunmoonrise]

Im inspired and will make one soon for my flower bed from some kind of stick from mulberry .

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

So glad you’re feeling inspired! That’s the goal here 😊

[@valjalava1951]

Oh it’s going to be beautiful I’ve never herd of that type of fence but very nice

Hi it really looking nice. I love the look. Hang in here. It’ll be worth it

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Sandra! I will!

[@gracehSF]

I love the wattle fence. I don’t see anything wrong with taking your time to get it done right, especially if you want it to last for years. I live in the Bay Area and we’ve had atmospheric river storms for the last few months, so I feel your pain. The good news is that we’re almost out of the drought!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Grace! Yes, so good for California, so it’s hard to complain.

[@maureenb1109]

I see a lot of wattle fences here in Surrey UK I love them but I think you have to have a lot of patience which obviously you do I think it would take me years lol I really love the look of them though so pretty 🤩

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Yes Maureen! Patience is a must here 😆

[@jksampley5872]

Oh the rain is never-ending here! I'm 50 miles south of you and the flooding is the biggest challenge. Our poor gardens!! All of my daffodils are sadly beaten down.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Oh no!! I’m so sorry 🥺

[@deannewilliams3321]

Super cute! Will you be putting a top rail in case anybody falls on it? Or maybe some cute wooden balls with holes drilled in them?

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Great idea!! Still planning, hoping to film some more updates soon 💗

[@josweatt898]

Yours is looking so good. I was going to do it at one time, but couldn't find enough right sticks. Here in south someone suggested I use Crepe Myrtle stick for the weft (weavers).

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Interesting!!

[@kellyvillanueva9712]

I love it and admire you. I don’t have that kind of patience. I’ll just admire yours from afar….

Hey, I like the wattle fence project! It's different content that "oh let's watch someone put seeds in a seed tray". LOL Can't wait to see the finished project.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Diane! Can’t wait for the finished product either, I’ll do my best share with you all 💗

Maybe you can give us some highlights of the new wattle fence construction in another video (for those of us who are still interested 😉😊)!!! Thanks for your beautiful videos and cheerful disposition!!! ❤😊

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Great idea Carmela! I’ll do my best to film more wattle fence action in the future 😉

[@sayitlouderforthepeopleint1114]

You know that looped fence you saw at the English Garden with your grandmother? You can waddle that. Loops instead of sails and waddle it. I've seen it. Perfect for your space.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Ooooh! Thanks for the tip 💗

[@itsmewende]

I think it's looking lovely, wiring is probably an excellent idea. My next 10 look ugly too, altho I haven't had nearly the amount of rain as you guys have. Oddly enough, you're getting what I usually have over autumn into winter, it was drier here then too. You guys have a nice weekend.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Wende! I will try and some some rain your way 😉

Uh oh! Do you want it back?! 😆😆

[@3Duncan3]

The rain has reached us too in So Cal, enjoying watching your video and progress while being cozy inside. I wonder if you could create a 'cap' to put on the top of your stakes to disguise them? maybe painted pvc caps glued on 🤷‍♀️

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Great idea! Being cozy sounds like the right idea for the next week or so 😉

Looks so interesting Janey. Are you able to step into the garden to plant in the area you can't reach from the sidewalk ? I had never seen a fence like that before until I saw yours and the one at the garden center you visited

I am sure you will get it finished after the rain and it will look great. Please be sure to show us when you get it finished. I hope you don’t get any flooding. Have a great day.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Will do Tammy! Have a great weekend!

[@melaniefullerton3055]

Since you are getting so much rain you might want to consider permeable paving for your side yard. There are various types that allow rainwater to flow through. It’s an environmentally friendly alternative to concrete, at least in the northeast.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks for the tip Melanie!!

[@juliefurman1978]

It is beautiful. Do you need to wrap each whip? That is going to take a bit more time to complete. But it looks so pretty. Good luck.

I wouldn’t mind another video on your wattle fence. I want to make one myself so I’d love to see your progress. I know what you mean about the rain. I’m trying so hard not to complain because we need it SO bad but my soul is over saturated and I’m afraid my daffodil bulbs are going to rot. I got a late start planting mine so I have foliage only right now. Anyways…be careful out there!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Hoping to share some wattle fence updates in the future! Thinking good thoughts for your daffodil bulbs 😊

[@alcg3981]

I identify with the perfectionist personality! Also, I'm thinking some Mushroom 🍄 caps or painted ling pong balls would look cute on those posts. Maybe a kid project?

Great idea!!

I wish you could have kept some of the tree branches from your birch trees. That would have been great for the sails. Darn it!

Hi Janey , sorry for the dumb question but can I buy a wattle fence kit , or do i just gather branches , love watching your videos

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Not a dumb question at all! I couldn't find any wattle fence kits for sale. There were some places that sold bundles of willow branches but the prices were really really high. I just gathered the branches myself from around town!

[@elmaelmar2761]

I think it looks amazing!! So the sticks where did you get them or what try did they come from??

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Elma! I found them in my neighbors green waste pile. I'm not sure what types of trees they were from, probably a mixture but you are looking for new growth from trees that have been recently pruned off! Or even better willow tree branches if you have access!

Where do you get the weavers?

[@lindylou3519]

Omg! You wouldn’t survive living in the southeast…we get so much rain here. We are getting it right now as we speak. Lol It does tend to get old especially when it seems it just won’t stop & there’s projects needing to be done. I would love to make a wattle fence but If you don’t live out in the country or near woods, it’s hard to find the right sticks to make one. There’s a KZbinr who lives in TN (Hop Along Hollow) who makes them & finds 3 different kinds of whips/sticks on her property like willow, wisteria, etc & she uses rebar as stakes to weave the willow around because as you had stated sticks seem to rot vs those tomato stakes. But very wise in thinking about the kids near the pool…could be hazardous. You are doing a great job. I can’t imagine not having to put up with a lot of rain. I would have more succulents if I lived in CA. Hugs from GA

[@anngallegos5515]

I do not have good luck with those tomato stakes! If they bend and the plastic coating cracks, the metal inside rusts and they break. You may have better luck with them if you are not moving them around.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks so much for the insight Ann. Yes, they can be tricky!!
