JASON's July Back Garden Tour! Come See What Survived the Heat Wave!

[@jeffmedlin9020]

Jason should do more videos! He’s a wealth of information and I have really enjoyed watching him today.

[@sabrinassuburbangarden9448]

Maybe even starting a new channel dealing with the more technical side of the garden. Great job, Jason.

[@lananicolas160]

I enjoyed your tour. You don't need to apologize for not knowing the names of every plant. Maybe you could drill some holes in the cement where you are getting the runoff. Glad that you will be getting some cooler days.

[@MM-km5zf]

plus, he's handsome....with all due respect

[@linetteterry1845]

Great job Jason!

[@lisafelt5381]

Jason great job. You are an asset to the dig, plant, water, repeat team. ❤❤

[@JeanLeach-go6fs]

Thank you Jason you did a great job.

[@crystalroby4416]

You're a great problem solver, Jason! Shade cloth will absolutely help with the north garden and trenching the tubing should keep it from expanding. How are the girls and the animals doing? Your backyard garden tour is a success and so is the editing. Janey's blessed to have you covering for her...and being her partner in life. Cya!

[@user-ij8sg4hl5j]

Love how you support your wife and the business!! Great job it was very informative on the technical challenges we all face in the garden. Your perspective is appreciated. ❤

[@catherinemoran3325]

Jason is transitioning very well from healthcare to gardening and YT. It is a forever learning curve for us all. Nice job!

[@krisleonard1428]

Jason great job! You are swiftly becoming a gardener with plant names and all! So glad you joined Janey in the adventures!

[@marybeth4002]

We all bring something different to the garden and it's always nice to get a different perspective on it. Think how boring it would be if we all cookie-cuttered each other. I can't even imagine the heat you are getting but happy to know you and Janey are taking it seriously and not venturing out to work in it. Back garden looks super - love the pops of chartreuse greens and bright yellow.

[@tiffc1859]

I'm so happy Jason did this video!!! He knows his plants! GREAT JOB!!! And he showed everything that's struggling as well! The truth about gardening and not trying make it seem like everything lives! THANK YOU FOR BEING HONEST ❤

[@jeanniecarroll9119]

Great job, Jason. I love hearing your plans for the garden and seeing the garden from your perspective.

[@Ingridvieira310]

Jason .. you’re awesome !! You and Janey make a fantastic team and each of you bring your own style and perspectives .. which is perfect. Just keep being yourselves 🪴

[@lindsey4505]

Jason is so sweet. He doesn’t know all the things but he knows so much, and is so much a part of things. And calling out his girl’s story about the fairy garden❤️ Great video with a different perspective.

[@abeerali7834]

Jason, for the irrigation that might be expanding because of the heat. Before you dig trenches, how about temporarily covering the joints with 2-3 layers of wet cardboard? Only to confirm if is in fact the heat. Another idea is to place a cooling coil inside your water tank. Been working for me perfectly.

[@carolynlingor]

You did a great job on the tour. I'm impressed with how many of the plant names you have learned. It was interesting to hear your perspective on how everything is doing. Thanks for filling in for Janie

[@lindaburris4138]

Jason, thank you so much for the video. I was starting to have withdrawal pangs from no videos all week. You are doing a great job in Janie’s absence. Reassuring to know that even the experts have plants that fail. Hope your heat wave eases up soon.

[@lynnpurse]

Great job, Jason! I'm in Zone 6, we're in a heat wave here for another week and I found it fascinating to see what plants survive and thrive in your extreme heat. Thank you!

[@daiseegray9110]

Great job Jason! Love seeing the garden from your eyes 🌼🐝

[@BarbaraChapmanFrenchEthereal]

The brunnera look like they are getting attacked by spiders or spidermites. Treat for that for ALL of them and get the cobwebs up. If you get that shade cloth up right away, that should help everybody. Might have to water twice a day for a week until they recover. :) Maybe move all those plants over to the house-side?? Keep feeding everything a light soluble fertilizer once a week or so. Hopefully that will help, too. The hydrangeas could use a pruning and you can take them inside! If they feel papery, cut them into a little bit of water in a vase and let the vase dry out. That's how you dry hydrangeas. They should do lovely there in Davis. Boy do I miss California growing! (Much easier with the lower humidity.) :) Thanks for the garden tour!!!

[@glassiegirl]

I agree, I saw right away spider mite damage!

[@samanthalonghurst-howes1465]

You are doing amazing Jason! It’s staggering how much you are picking up in terms of gardening etc in such a short amount of time. You really should be proud of yourself. Great video in all respects. Xxx

[@barbb.9489]

Jason, you’re just doing a great job, a natural! ❤😂❤

[@abymorales8287]

I can tell Jason is getting more confident on cámara! Love see him taking over!

[@shelleyscarborough9171]

MORE JASON!!! Watch out Janey, you got some competition! But seriously, the two of you make a fantastic team!

[@trishrobinson1523]

You guys hang on through this heat wave. Praying you come out of it soon. Good job Jason!

[@JoyfulJerseyGardening]

You’re a good sport Jason, and you did a great job! Looking forward to seeing the shade cloth installation and the benefits in your side garden.

[@helenazzopardi1713]

Thanks Jason for the tour. I really enjoyed listening to your perspective of the garden.

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Jason, don’t apologize! You did great!

[@dawnwalker152]

Janey who?! Just kidding.....great job Jason. Thank you for sharing your back yard with all of us.

[@annamarie876]

Jason, You are a walking encyclopedia of plant identification, tricks of the trade, etc. Great job!!

[@ponderosagardenadventures]

Jason you are a Rockstar. I'm so impressed with your commitment to learning not only video production but the gardening. You remembered so many plant names, which is not easy if gardening is not your passion! Looking forward to more videos.

[@jakebr8ke]

Awesome job Jason! I love your perspective on the plants and watering issues. Please do more videos!

[@dythinegorham4014]

Good job on video you and Janey make a great team❤❤

[@sayitlouderforthepeopleint1114]

Thanks for hanging out in the Northside shade garden!

[@nancykulp8545]

Well done Jason!! You know more than you put on, the listing of the flowers you've memorized is tremendous!! Great job!!

[@nettysenoj3964]

Jason, I love you’re not afraid ( or at least willing) to pick up the camera and film too. You do a great job! I know you mentioned putting up a sail or shade cloth, but what about a small arbor like the ones you all had at the other house. I think they had honeysuckle on them. I know that route is a bit more expensive, I’m just not sure you all would really be happy with the look of shade cloth. Just good for thought. Love you all, keep up the great work!

[@jennamccleery2393]

Jason, check the shade yard 7:02 through the sunny time and see if the windows are reflecting a sunspot onto the area where the brunnera died. Just a thought. If not a strange sun pattern check for bug/pests.

[@s.g.8745]

I was also wondering if it is a bug/pest problem as I can see some cobweb kind of texture on the surrounding plants... maybe spider mites!?

[@valautolady358]

What a treat, Jason you did a wonderful job. Truly enjoyed your perspective on the garden.

[@Shelovesflora]

You did such a great job! Love how you’ve learned the names of the plants and your vision for your property! Janeys very lucky to have you home on the DWR team to deal with the issues that arise. It’s a lot of work!

[@sylvietherrien5617]

Hi Jason! My husband got a “sun shade sail” several years ago. We live on Cape Cod in MA and it is a game changer in the hot sun! There are several shade levels; we have a 92% which still allows some sun through so the area where we have lunch is still bright but it offers a lot of reprieve! These also come is different sizes and shapes! We have since added 2 small triangular ones to our first bigger rectangular! Like you we have a front porch that we use but it is on the street side and a lot more public whereas our super sunny area is more private and we enjoy pool time and lounging in that area!

[@jadobrusia]

Love Jason's garden tour!!! ♥️♥️

[@user-cp3tj9gn8p]

Hello Jason, Tammy here a friend from Canada I live about three hours out of Vancouver British Columbia. It was so wonderful to see your garden struggling just as mine is I was starting to wonder if I was doing something wrong but we get quite the hot temperatures as well in my little town of Merritt so it’s reassuring to know that it’s not my gardening ha ha it’s the weather, so thank you for letting us see your garden not being so perfect it really helps.

[@jenmason40]

Good for you, Jason-taking such initiative!! You did an amazing job, you would never know you don’t do this much. You’re a natural & so great getting a different perspective. Cheers from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 zone 5b. You know a lot more about the plants than you give yourself credit for 👏applaud yourself. Good job 👍

[@kfaulknerstudio]

I’m glad you mentioned that water is a precious commodity. Even in southeastern Pennsylvania, I’m making sure new plants I bring into my garden are heat and drought resistant.

[@susandixon9487]

Great job Jason,on your garden tour.

[@kimvic12]

Hi Jason! Shade cloth is such a great idea but maybe consider something more natural like an ornamental tree that only grows 10 feet or less. That might assist with some shading for your more delicate plants.

[@kfetter9046]

You've come a long way with your knowledge of plants Jason! You've gone from "here is a cute little purple plant," or "here is a silver plant," to not just the type of plant, but its individual name, and why it is doing, or not doing well. I think we are seeing "survival of the fittest" in our gardens during this heat wave. Thank you for showing us the real deal. Well done!

[@peggyfrommanitoba7310]

Hi Jason! Loved the tour of your backyard (especially the dahlias!) and nice job editing the video! Well done you two for maintaining your gardens in a prolonged heat wave. I really like the idea of pea gravel for the Vego bed area. While Janey is away, you should pick up a plant you like, put it in the garden and see how long it takes for Janey to notice! 😜🇨🇦

[@tracythomas343]

I’m glad you talked in some detail about the drip irrigation and avoiding trip hazards. It gave me some ideas how I might be able to put in drip tubing in the future without creating a trip hazard for me. The struggle is real. 😁❤️

[@rebeccarenteria2175]

Wow! I am so impressed with the team work you and Janie have! I love everything you both have accomplished in the year that you have been at your new property! Such a pleasure to watch and learn from both of you! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@sjerzgrl]

It’s wonderful that you and Janey are working together now. When you mentioned the irrigation issue on the raised planter side, my first thought was it was happening because of the heat. Maybe the tubing expanding and condensing with the temperature. Thanks so much Jason for the tour.

[@uzelwest-lewis6721]

Jason job well done. I enjoyed your view of the garden. Your editing was good. Keep up the good work.

[@felicity397]

Ya, did get Jason, Thanks for filling us in and keeping the realistic gardening haps in. Everything is thriving even through our Cali heat wave. Those shade sails will be a cool addition.

[@8helenjhouston8]

A great different perspective- thank you Jason! The way you ran the tube over the arches was genius!

[@sarahheffernan5176]

Great tour. 🌸🌱🌱🌱😎 The garden is looking great despite the heat. You and Janey are a great team. We are having a long heatwave here in Cyprus too. I’ve noticed how our weather has strangely mirrored yours over the last several months . 🤔

[@pamelacarroll]

Great job, Jason!! Thanks for the tour!

[@sharonwestbury7137]

Jason, great job! You just keep getting more natural at hosting the videos 😊 I've been gardening in Southern California for well over 50 years. After millions of mistakes, I have found nature will always win. That said, wouldn't it be easier to put sun loving plants on the sunnier side of the shade garden? I used to put up shade cloth, umbrellas, etc. Anything to trick the sun, but in the end the sun always wins. Also don't know how windy it is in your part of our state, but shade cloth in the wind becomes a great big sail. It takes a very strong footing to stay in place. Wishing you great success. Love your channel ❤

[@gelinda2718]

Wow Jason you are really awesome at giving garden tours! I give it 5 stars, keep up the great work.

[@jeriwebb700]

Jason, excellent work. I believe I counted 43 plants that you identified!! In regards to the vego garden bed, what about a raised decking with maybe a picket fence to surround it so you don't miss step off the deck. I still can't believe how many plants you can identify!! Keep up the good work!!

[@aboutthegarden]

Great video Jason. Janey and Jason, this has fast became one of my top three channels to watch. What you have achieved in less than a year is just astounding and beautiful. 😊

[@rhondafisher72]

Thanks Jason, nice tour for sure.

[@sandi91949]

Awesome tour, Jason.

[@shareenstone6673]

If the staining of water runoff from Vego beds is the issue, maybe just use a dark concrete stain.

[@mkhred01]

Jason, you did a great job!🤩

[@judyhagen4401]

Jason, you’re a natural at doing videos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You did a great job and I learned a lot again today.

[@nickbono8]

Check your pressure coming from your valves. Too much pressure on drip lines can pop them off. Most drip products can handle around 30-40 psi. If that’s the case, installing a pressure reducer rated to 30-40 psi on the valves will help, although if you have a lot of emitters on that line, it may affect how much water is coming out especially toward the end of that line. So try a higher psi reducer first. Also, would not recommend burying drip line in dirt. Cover it with mulch, but don’t put it underground because it’s a soft pipe and it can get kinked or punctured by rocks and roots in the soil. *landscaping construction and irrigation expert opinion*

[@MrsRachelMason]

Jason, I’m so inspired by your tour video!! I am super new to this gardening thing and love seeing someone that relates with still learning it all!! Janey is so lucky to have you! Wish my husband would partner with me the same way you’ve done with Janey! It’s a dream!! (I’m sure there’s plenty that’s not so pretty behind the scenes that we don’t see, but appreciate what you add to this channel, and your sense of vision!)

[@abiering]

Great job Jason. Thanks for carrying on in Janey’s absence.

[@patriciaschafer3199]

Jason, you're a natural! Great job! I love hearing your plans for the garden...you've done so much work already. The shade cloth in the shade garden would be perfect...I had to get mine from Amazon because stores just don't carry want you want and need. Also plant some tall plants in there for height (canna lilies, elephant ears, more ferns for the lushness). Janey, relax...Jason's got this !🌿

[@wendyshanahan2652]

Well done, Jason. Completely understand slow/no gardening in your heat. We have high humidity here with heat so work mornings only.

[@annetteladle5116]

I decided plants have a mind of their own. I have had the same thing happen. It’s HOT here in N FL. Plant death has arrived a whole month early. When things get hot for our veggies I open our large umbrella for some relief for the plants. Shade cloth will the great and they will love you for it. Great job as always Jason.

[@kimpossiblymagic67]

Jason, check if you are getting burning reflection off your windows there in the shade garden. I have hostas that get burnt like this and I found that my neighbors window was the culprit. The shade cloth will help👍

[@terrycourtney8011]

You did great Jason! You're doing really good job learning plant names, it's not easy.

[@barbarasidel9012]

The pots by the office…now give them a good hard cut back. They will rebound. Jason thank you for stepping in. 👏🏻🌟

[@debrawhobrey1625]

Jason you did a Great job. Glad to see you on the tream.

[@judymooney2993]

Jason, you do a wonderful job and I love the technical info you provide. This is the sudden plant death season. It happens all around the country.

[@christophertaylor9826]

Jason great job, your wife will be proud of you. Can't wait to see what's next.

[@FrediOlson]

Jason, you've come a long way. Fantastic video. You're really into it! Thank you for the tour.

[@peggydove8756]

Hey Jason, nice side yard tour. Elk Grove checking in. Can’t believe the temperatures we all are getting. My yard is looking pretty tough, can’t give it enough water. Thank you for the nice tour. Hope Janie has a nice time on her trip.

[@suzannemaynard977]

You did GREAT Jason! You look like you are a bit more comfortable behind the camera. Looking forward to seeing you do another video. Hope Janey had a great time in Ohio and looking forward to hearing about Cultivate.

Great video Jason! Thanks for your input on current conditions in your garden as we suffer from the excessive heat!

[@odemonet]

Great job Jason, you are a natural! Considering the heat everything looks pretty good in the back gardens. You and Janey make a great team together and I was impressed with how man of the plants you did know. ☀️ 🌞

[@heidijones1516]

[@user-vx7kg1lu7v]

Jason is doing great; not boring or corney. He even recognized a random weed in the hydrangea. I thought it was Silver Falls. 😂

[@KayliePatrick]

Love seeing Jason! Also- rattling off those plant names like a champ!!

You did a great job man! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour

[@krystalnebel7304]

Thank u Jason for showing us the garden today and you are right about the tubing. When it gets hot it gets soft and then it's more Pliable. I hope you can get it working. Good luck. I would die in that weather. I thought Chicago gets hot but man over the 100s that's crazy. Stay cool and have a great weekend

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Jason you did a good job! Thanks for a beautiful garden tour.

[@BeeSimm1]

You could stain the concrete a dark color such as black or brown. I used a solid wood stain on some concrete stepping blocks and they turned out great.

[@grisespino5342]

It’s cool to get a different point of view. Great job Jason 🌱the bottom of a pot on a solid surface can makes a seal and hold water. Pot feet, in a pinch a couple rocks pieces of wood to elevate the bottom and allow air circulation. 🌱on your irrigation system. Garden Answer’s Laura and Aaron use hose clamps to prevent them coming undone. Hope this helps

[@medinasod2013]

Jason, great job! It's always good to have a different perspective. Weird weather. I'm in Santa Barbara. We had clouds thunderstorms a little bit of lightning and rain. Then it left but it's very warm. Love seeing Jason😊

[@danielleallen9678]

You did a great job!!

[@Brenda-fp5te]

Great job Jason, you should do more, you & Janey can take turns. You two make a great team.
