You must be in a super good mood as your exceptionally bubbly, so cute. Love that your so real about normal life & gardening. You take the fear of perfect gardening and present it as real life. Been with your channel for 3 years now & love my mornings watching. Also have learned so much, thank you.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

It's amazing what cooler temps will do for your mood! 😂

[@kelmoran]

None of your plants have burned, how do you manage plants burning in the sun?

[@jeanetteburt3335]

What a difference the pruning makes, looks so good Jenny. Camera is clearer as well. thanks for the informative video.

[@laurelcomeaux4723]

I think I felt the whole flower bed breathe! Looks good! Yes, every plant has its time-when it is done, give something else a chance to shine!

[@balloonie19]

I just can't thank you enough of how you have lifted my mood (a prolonged depression era) by watching you, a hardworking mom, entrepreneur, a humble and knowledgeable gardener, and many wonderful characteristics you have..you rise and rise even when life gets hard and have that joy. I love spending time with you Jenny. Thank you so much.❤ Sending love and hugs from another mom of 3 young ones up north Canada. I learnt from you to find joy and retreat to my little garden zone 3, but especially how to carry on after the "storms". So sorry that flash floods happened and took so much inventory away. You are so strong and loved Jenny.

[@lisag6796]

Glad you're feeling better!!

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Praying that you feel better, depression sucks❤

[@nedda2000]

Love the berm area and so satisfying to see the pruning back. Overall, video looks and sounds awesome. I did, however, feel when the camera moved around, that it had a dizzying affect. Excellent quality when camera was still. Thank you for the info and the inspo!

[@ninadarga360]

You gave me the incentive to get out there this morning before it gets too hot and clean up my flower bed!

[@chafrajayfra32]

As soon as the video started I got out there because it was early and before the rain. Then I came back and finished watching. She’s so inspiring.

[@rebeccakidder1397]

Pruning always looks fresh, and gets the garden ready to grow again. The camera is a keeper! Thanks Jenny!

[@shirleybrown8094]

Camera quality is very good.

[@crystalgaddy2985]

"It's fine. There is grace in gardening." Jenny quote of the day. ❤

[@shellyroman1321]

"Grace in Gardening, Friends" ♡ I love that statement! What a great informational video. Thank you for encouraging me to get out to the garden today. The new camera is great. Everything is beautiful!♡

[@dm_lunsford]

Needed motivation to get out in my garden for some pruning - we got rain yesterday! - and this video provided it. Thanks! 👍🙂

[@shellyroman1321]

I feel the same way after watching Jenny this morning!

[@laurahazel6884]

Camera work was stellar! Nice tight close ups; I felt like I could reach out and touch the plants.

[@rebeccawoods4488]

I learned so much from you in this video, Jenny! Especially…”permission to cut.” 😂, and that there is grace in gardening. I love to listen to your “gardener train of thought.” Thanks!

[@lonaphillips9617]

I was going to comment on the quality of pictures before you asked! Colors and clarity are great!

[@janettefisher256]

Jenny , I luv a good garden cleanup , everything is so beautiful 🏡💚

[@nancylafferty8362]

I love pruning! Makes the garden look beautiful again! like the camera too!

[@nancyhoffman8815]

That barberry that was partly shaded was a super good example of why they can be green when planted in the shade. I love the orange pillar next to the pugsters!!

[@deeshea3286]

Great video! Super helpful. You are so fun and positive to watch. Thank you❤

[@katherinelara1801]

Serendipity! I started my day with coffee and watching you prune knowing I had to go out and deadhead my butterfly bushes and then you showed me the way to do it!! You are appreciated. Love from your recent visitors from Arizona 🍋

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Its about time for me to prune my perennial as well. Thanks for the tips.

[@shirleyvastine9328]

This is perfect timing!! My white Daisy Maes have gone completely brown, so now I can confidently cut them back. Also, today is the day I pull out a Weigela shrub that I have tried, and failed, to like for 3 years. Happy sweaty day!!

[@heideelail]

Love the quality!! I look forward to your videos & check for new ones daily. We live in Boone & I FINALLY made it to your garden center (after wanting to for 3 years) several weeks ago. Loved the experience & talking with Jerry for a bit! Thank you for always sharing!!

[@aruiz565]

Thanks, Jenny! It's so satisfying to watch you clean up the garden beds. I'm headed out to cut back my nepeta. It's fun to see different zones. My hydrangeas and budleas are just barely about to bloom. The camera looks amazing. So much clearer, especially on the close-ups.

[@kathy8832]

Everything looks so good now that you’ve pruned. It’s always so satisfying when you finish an area. The berm looks so pretty.

[@rosavargas539]

Jenny has time 😱 watch out here she’s comes … really Love the camera shots and angles it a more personal connection, great video content as well so needed this as I’m also cutting back my spent flowers. ❤

[@lyndastevens9726]

WooHoo! Great job on the garden cleanup! I thought the new camera did a stellar job!💞

[@cece_marie]

Loved the nice clear close ups! 📸

[@cathyclark-p3w]

The clarity on the new camera is nice. The berm looks awesome!

[@barbarasellitti4406]

Thanks for showing me it’s ok to just grab & cut, I’m not gonna die & the plant isn’t either 😂 I think the camera worked out great! ❤

[@amw3083]

Thank you! I need to whack back my daisies after the rain splayed them open. They were every bit of 4’ tall!! I wasn’t sure how far to cut them back and now I do! Thank you! As for the camera, I’m getting started in the business of making videos for KZbin and other platforms to bolster my business and my the nonprofit I work with. This channel has always been one that I have aspired to for video quality. ❤ I have to say that I am experiencing a love hate relationship with this new camera. It was nice to see crisp shots and close ups and it was super helpful for you to be able to zoom in. The auto focus shifted between you and the background quite a bit. When your face was in the shot, it stayed on you, but when you were profile and your hat covered your face just enough, the facial recognition stopped working and the camera zoomed in on the hibiscus in the background. All that is probably just settings and getting accustomed to the new tech. Anytime the camera was being flipped or you were walking, I could see and feel every tiny turn and step. Perhaps with a gimbal and/or tweaking the image stabilization settings this could get smoothed out, but in all honesty it was very Blair Witch Project/Home video worthy. Play around with it and let’s try it again! There’s always a learning curve!

[@jackielambes7208]

Grace in gardening. I love that.

[@terriklugh2910]

I learn so much from you, Jenny. Keep the pruning videos coming! Everything looks beautiful!!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you! Will do!

[@jackielambes7208]

You have a faithful companion there. Oh my goodness as I am writing this you said the same. Following you to make sure all is well with mom.

[@jodyeickhoff2237]

Once again your berm garden is so lush and colorful. The camera you used today had a very bright, clear picture. The sound was good too. Blessings!

[@renegelsomino4625]

You look good in this video, it is clear. Don't change anything at all.

[@tinam9844]

Lol Jenny for the camera, and doing this all by yourself....it was amazing 👏. Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. It is so very satisfying to know that we can apply this wealth of information to our gardens. I have learned so much from your videos, so thank you for that!

[@janeenwitmer]

I love your hat, I need one like that. Very sun friendly

[@trishferrer8209]

I learn so much from you! Watching you work is so inspirational! But... Oh, to be able to squat and sit on my heels like you do! 😳 It's been 50+ years since I could do that, so I have to bend with almost straight legs, head hanging down. I use my rolling garden stool, too! I was a kid with major knee problems, so... Hoping to find a channel as good as yours and Jim Putnam's, designed for handicapped people. Or rather, "differently able-bodied" gardeners. ✨

[@veronicabyrd3699]

Thank you for the info. I am so glad you demonstrated how to cut back Sonia and baptism because I wasn’t sure if I needed to cut them. Today video was very clear. Thursday was pretty dark so this video was much better thank you!

[@salimorton641]

The video was fine. The sound was excellent 👌👍

[@merudolph6758]

Thank you so much for showing how to prune the shastas and amsonia. I recently cut back my shastas because they were crowding out my beautiful little quickfire. But I didn't cut as far back as you did because I was worried about them surviving in our central VA heatwave. Now I'm going back to cut them back further so I can enjoy more of my panicle. Plus, I am now planning to move them in the fall like you're going to do because they are so massive and definitely breaching 5 feet! Also, I didn't know what was wrong with my amsonia because it was starting to lie down and it's just a first year plant, so now I'm going to trim them back so they can get thicker. I ALWAYS learn something from your videos! Stay cool; we have been having 100+ temps with the dewpoint levels.

[@angieketcher5917]

Everything is awesome. The camera is great.

[@debbieholst3720]

Camera was fine.Clean up looks so much better.

[@debbyrennock8435]

I personally liked the barberry with THREE colors on it! Lol😊

[@lindaduncan6269]

Your new camera has a great clear picture! The color is wonderful!!!!!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Yay! Thank you!

[@monasumner9862]

The berm looks beautiful!!!💕

[@lisag6796]

New camera is Good! Thanks for the pruning tips!

[@jensdiggingagain9786]

The garden is beautiful and pruning it made it even more so! And the camera footage was very nice...the quality is great!

[@juliestitt3343]

Thank you, Jenny for all the pruning tips! So helpful! As for the camera, I don't mean for this to sound negative by any means. You asked for honest feedback, so I just wanted to share my thoughts. The quality of the picture was very nice. However, I'm not a fan of the background being blurred when you're talking to the camera. But that may just be a setting on the camera, I don't know. I'm NOT very techy!😅 Also, it seemed a bit shaky when you were panning. But I appreciate you trying out new things to bring us the best quality videos that you can! You and Jerry do such an amazing job with your gardens and the videos, and I watch all of them! Blessings from a fellow homeschooling mom!😄

[@JANESLIST]

I always learn so much from your videos. Camera is good.

[@thecakepopsistars]

I love your recommended weeding tool :D Thanks for sharing your approach and reminding us to appreciate garden grace when it comes to this pruning maintenance.

[@lindathomason5911]

Camera looks really good. Seems better quality filming

[@kaylac3367]

I like the new camera! The picture quality is great! Very clear.

[@bonniejackson7476]

Camera work is good. Thanks Jenny!

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

Everything is gorgeous! I thought the camera did a great job!❤

[@RichardDingus]

have to admit, love seeing your dog out there with you!

[@cherylsanatore7631]

❤Thanks for this video! We are having a rainy day here in Long Island, NY 🎉🎉🎉. Mother Nature is being very helpful to us gardeners 😂!!

[@elaineanderson2068]

Thanks Jenny great information with cutting things back. Grace in gardening Love it! 💐

[@marielinha80]

Wonderful instructional video, Jenny. I already know of a few perennials that need to be cut back in my garden and I’ll do those as soon as it’s more bearable outside. Video image is much much clearer, the image did seem a bit shaky and less focused when the camera was moving around so this might be a great one to use on a stationary tripod. Hope you’re having a great weekend.

[@MichaelRusso-k9j]

Hi there Jenney: Everything in your garden looks beautiful & colorful so your doing a good job with your camera work & audio is clear. I am going to try applying PREEN to certain areas of the garden as recommended after planting to prevent weeds. My guess is probably I'll have to use your method as well and just go through and remove other weeds that pop through myself. Good to see Niagra Fall grass after it has grown for awhile.. The one I purchased from Creekside Gardens is really taking off well! Thanks very much for your video & have a good week ahead!

[@audreyfisher7163]

You are a good teacher. Thank you 9b

[@kristinakeane7110]

color and clarity look great. Love all the tips.

[@tammydeschenes4857]

Pruning and deadheading makes such a difference. The camera seems clearer but lots of movement making it a bit dizzy. Maybe best used when on stands.

[@trishferrer8209]

Love the camera quality!! And you are SO cute 😊 "Jenny is glistening" lol Don't everybody hate me for this, but I love the music; think it's too loud, though. I know... probably just me. Most KZbin vids are like this. Love your content!! ✨✨✨

[@mavisjones4750]

I love garden cleanup, except mine is spent more on pulling weeds. There is something so satisfying about cleaning up the garden, whether it's pulling weeds, deadheading, pruning, etc.

[@kathyschwable1298]

Camera looks good!! The garden looks great!!! 💜💜💜💜

[@patriciaflores2776]

Awesome lessons🌳🌄 cam.is much clearer

[@raine2011]

Camera is really clear and sharp....

[@lindathompson8100]

Good afternoon Jenny, I am sorry to say that when you are walking with the camera it is very jerky which makes it a little hard to watch ,. But it does have a pretty picture. Love that everything can breathe now. Your old camera was much steadier and easier on the eyes.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

You are right!

[@VaselekyCrafferty]

You did beautiful!!! Sweetheart 😘! Thanks God bless so far so gd on videos 🥰

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Your garden is soooooo pretty:)

[@Lizthehistorian]

Great video as always. I have been following for a couple of years now and always find inspiration from the videos. I like the picture and sound quality of the new camera but when it was moving it was a bit shaky - made me feel a bit dizzy like I was on a ship!

[@brendabrinkman4390]

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you.

[@nancypatterson374]

Everything is looking so good Jenny. So happy y’all got some rain. Unfortunately we are in the dry Heat Dome, 100 yesterday with feel like 110! I will just stay inside and watch you guys 😂😂❤

[@sandistolle4874]

Things are looking lovely at the berm. Camera: Picture and sound quality is great. The rocking while you walked was a little difficult, but that may just be me.

[@judyluce3141]

Hello, 99 degrees here today in Chesapeake, VA!!!

So nice and tidy! ❤

Brynna is the best. 😂❤ love my GS Sadie Rayne. I absolutely love the clean up and tidy up videos. All that weather missed us in Chattanooga. I was so hoping for some of that rain.

[@BarbaraJohnson-n3n]

Well, good morning, Jenny garden looks fantastic. Clean up makes it look even greater. Thanks for all of the Helpfulll information camera was great. No problem with it. Have a blessed day the Oklahoma gardener.😊

[@debmarlowe1204]

[@violetamayer6298]

It looks so much better 👌👌👏👏. Now you can see the plants that were covered. Awesome job!

[@Realitytime2024]

Your filming looks really good. Also, we weed as we go too. It's so much easier, and it looks neat and tidy, as you would say. 😊 Enjoy your day!

[@geaizee9204]

Awesome work Jenny! I like the camera, good quality, handled your different lighting situations well and seemed to do well with distance and close up.

[@pamulapowell3951]

Looks Gorgeous 🥰

We have NC weather here in PA! Mid to upper 90’s and humid. Just doing a little at a time. “Grace In Gardening” -- t-shirt idea??!!

[@charitysmith108]

Whew. I was getting a little dizzy when you were showing the plants with the new camera😅 The picture quality was good when the camera was on the tripod but the shaking was getting to me when you were walking with it lol Either way, I enjoyed the video!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

I agree 💯! Will definitely use the camera again but only on a tripod 😀

[@sharonbrunotte3972]

Thank U for sharing!! Very good information!! I was wondering about my Shasta Daisy’s!! I also love pruning so my garden continues to look beautiful!! I love that U were able to get in close to show the new growth!!😁

[@ramonajolley1966]

Good morning! You look great as usual. I guess I'll email adding more flowers to my bed. The daylillies are just abut gone. I love to hear you say just wack um! The garden looks very nice. Pleas stay cool. We didn't get any rain in Raeford. Fingers crossed for today.

[@darlenethompson6738]

TY great tips.

[@heatherw.2751]

I think the picture is good on the new camera but it’s not as steady when you hold it as the older ones. But the video is great! Right on time as I need to do the same thing in my beds.

[@dianelarwood597]

I think I prefer the old camera. This one seems a bit choppy and the focus was not smooth. But great video thanks.

[@DonnaGorman-b5n]

Camera looks good as well as your garden.

[@peggyriordan9857]

I think the garden bed looked much better after all of the pruning. Can see each bush now, which I like better. The camera seemed fine, but a little fuzzy. Not sure it's the camera, or my eyes. I noticed it especially when you were speaking closely to the camera. Hope that helps.
