Garden Clean Up: A Walk Around the Yard Cutting Back Hosta Blooms and Chatting

[@chameeher879]

I love how you whisper "we'll watch Nate clean" yet you still support your hubby saying "I can you"... I love this!! Lol.. You're sooo sweet, wise and humble!! ❤

[@lorri3479]

Nate should make them clean it up and then come apologize to you.

[@athomewithjenny]

I agree with this!

[@Gramazon661]

My kids used to this in junior high … But the next morning a group would go and clean up. Nothing was left for their friends parents. I agree your yard has big mature trees that if you do t get it all , when it rains what a mess your going to have,. Love your yard 🌺🌸🌼

[@dinac7361]

Absolutely

[@margaretmast265]

I agree with you as I would not have liked that paper hanging from the trees either. What a dirty trick!! You were so sweet to offer to help. All of your Hosta's are beautiful this time of year.

[@lindamcgrew3385]

Love the blooms,then cut back. Love your gardens! Thank you for sharing.

[@carriel417]

I'm with you, Jes...what a waste of toilet paper! Kids in my town perform a tping ritual every year during Homecoming up and down the streets leading to the high school. I don't think they miss one tree. It's a mess. I feel so sorry for the residents who have to clean all this up. I'm happy for you that they didn't damage your beautiful gardens.

[@patriciarichter2342]

I like the blooms but cut them off after the dry.everything in your garden is so beautiful and your Hostas ❤such a great variety.😊

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Nate needs to have those kids run extra laps for their mischievousness!!

[@annkendall528]

I love the hosta blooms also because the hummingbirds love them.

[@PaulaSwann501]

I like the blooms and the pollinators love them. Once the blooms are gone I cut them back.

[@lauriediekrager8332]

T.P. is a fun prank. Hopefully, no damage since this is your side hustle thing. Your hibiscus are lovely. I finally got one this year, and when the hummingbirds came back (they stayed away because of the air quality from the Canadian fires) they loved it.

[@joellenjones3410]

Your echinaceais always so tall!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 gorgeous garden girl!🙌🏼

[@lorrainecourtney4589]

Yes, his "friends" that did this probably love that you filmed what they did 😞 Love your garden ♥️

[@angelmusic22]

Nate should round up the boys that did it and make them clean it up. A good “training” exercise, lol. Your garden is beautiful as always! You have really got me into hostas and Heucheras. Have a great day! -Angel

[@user-is1fw7lj8f]

I love hosta blooms - and so do the hummingbirds :) TPing is something I will never think is fun... Always something ! Thanks for continuing to share your beautiful garden; you inspired me to plant some hosta and heuchera this year. Sharon in IN

[@robinrowell1808]

Love the background song for cleanup, "Mind your own business"😁 The gully garden looks great!

[@jesthesinginggardener]

😂

[@patriciabrummell3222]

I don’t mind hosta blooms, however once they start looking ugly I will cut them and. Jes you are such an angel.

[@cynthiabaltrus8872]

The hummingbirds and the bees love the hosta blooms! So, I keep em!

[@lonaphillips9617]

I’m very familiar with rolling TP!!! At Auburn University in Auburn,Al, each time the football players win a game, the students and fans roll Toomer’s Corner and surrounding trees. The city uses fire trucks with water to gently wash the paper off. It’s been a tradition for years! 3:13

[@freedomofreligion3248]

I enjoy the blooms. They're faery-garden-like. So funny -- needing "Captions," I see hilarious things: It captured your word "floody" as "flutty" lol. And, ever time you said "hosta", the computer-gen caption printed "pasta"...😊

[@jesthesinginggardener]

LOL that’s so funny!

[@mitzi605]

I love host blooms and the beneficial love them too.

[@skrtskit1521]

I don't care for the Hosta blooms, but i leave them be. My daughters, three of my friends kids, and me all dressed up in black and snuck over to my friends house and soaped and tp'd her car in the middle of the night. She did not know who did it until we confessed in about 3-days. We had so much fun and laughed so hard. Her payback to me was an awesome story. To long to tell. Thanks for bringing back that memory you tp hoodlums! I love your "I'm Frustrated" song-mind your own business. 💖💖🎶🎶

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Fun story! 🎉

[@JacquiQ]

Nobody messes with Jes's gully garden 😒 i only have one Hosta. It is 2 yrs old. Has not bloomed. In a pot. I did not even really know they bloomed or that they may re seed themselves - who would not want free Hosta plants ? I would not cut any flower that the bees loved. We have loads slugs and snails here and Hosta's are their main dish 🐌Stunning Hibiscus 🏵🏵 U so sweet helping Natey clean up

[@MisBunnypics]

I'd round up all the tp perps and make them clean up their mess and weed the garden while their at it!!!! You showed great restraint. I love hosta blooms but the deer seem to as well.

[@robertbaker9775]

Jes, your yard is absolutely spectacular! It really belongs in a gardening magazine! 💚💚 Linda

[@lindamiller394]

If that is the worst they do, then you will be ok. My husband and I were TPd more than once. I absolutely love your garden. I love the bloom of hostas and the hummingbirds love them too. Love. Your singing too.🥰

[@cherylspiel3864]

Neighbor was the HS softball coach and every spring the girls would TP his house. If Nate was a UM fan, I'd probably tell him to hit the high streamers with the hose and they will easily fall out of the tree. As for the hosta blooms, I leave them because I'm heavy into supporting the pollinators and the hummingbirds love them. NW Ohio ZONE 6b GO BLUE!! 💛🏈💙

[@dianne3971]

Keep the hosta blooms..love seeing hummingbirds, bees, pollinators on them. Your garden has matured and looks so pretty.

[@joycepryor9848]

Enjoyed the video. Everything is beautiful. So sorry that your property got rolled.

[@judymckerrow6720]

When my hosta are newly planted I remove the blooms for the first several years.🌺💚🙃

[@mikebridges222]

I love the hosts flowers too!

[@fan1.028]

I usually cut the hosta blooms even though I like them. I get stung a lot by bee's that love the blooms.

[@MelindaBrooks-vj3fr]

I love the Hosta blooms!

[@Nayaret73]

Thanks 💚🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🕊️🇨🇱✨💖💙✨

[@jerrybutron4765]

Excellent tutorial about gardening new in your channel 👍.

[@katexx3732]

I didn't love the hosta blooms at first, but I seen so many pollinators on them the first year I had them so couldn't bring my self to chop them off and as time as has gone by I've grown to really like them and I now leave all of them to bloom. . And I'd also be making nate or he's mates clean it all up too and I definitely don't blame you for not being too happy about it.

[@Nancy13500]

Jes you work so hard I can’t believe they would do that to your garden. I have to say you’re a better sport than me. 😊

[@itsmewende]

Nate should be supervising the kids that did that, I'm with you, that is not funny. Not to mention it's your hard work they made a mess of, I have no patience for that type of nonsense. I like the hosta blooms. Maybe a month ago while mowing, I spotted beautiful deep purple blooms above my vinca vines, it was a hosta. I don't know how it got there, it's a loner, It was totally covered by the vinca. Sorry you have to wait about the leak.

[@jaynemar1]

I 💜 Hosta Blooms!

[@icooper275]

God bless you🙏

[@elsamckee7223]

I love hasta blooms too!

[@lindamiller4098]

I love the blooms!

[@tamimartine8441]

So nice to see you this morning, Jes. Hosta blooms...I have some that I like and some that just seem too tall and gangly, so I cut those. I love your gully garden most of all. It must be the perfect place for hostas because they are all so beautiful and healthy, and grow to their full size.

[@tinapaxton4231]

You are wise beyond your years...let Nate clean up the mess. Momma and I love hostas but we don't have much shade/part-shade areas in which to grow them. We would definitely enjoy the flowers and cut back once they are spent.

[@truthtalker4038]

If that spot has been drenched and flooding for years, it might have been leaking since they put the sprinkler system in.

[@janettefisher256]

How rude ! They need to clean it up and apologize . You work hard at keeping your yard beautiful

[@MarianneRuffhaven]

I like the Hosta flowers and the hummingbirds love the Hosta flowers too.

[@Mindy-s-channel]

I love all blooms. I even leave the blooms on my lambs ear until such time that I don’t see any pollinators on them.

[@JodyEtheridge]

Bless you 🌻

[@klk12399]

I love hosta blooms, especially since they attract hummingbirds!

[@dinac7361]

You are so sweet Jes!! Your garden is as gorgeous as you are inside and out!! Your mama obviously raised you very well❤

[@kimberlydean9752]

I love my Hosta blooms! They are pretty and the bees love them. When the petals start to drop I cut them back. ❤

[@elaineanderson2068]

You make me laugh so hard when you whisper! I Love it. I do leave some of my Hosta blooms on with the bigger blooms. Thanks for helping Nate.

[@elmaelmar2761]

Oh my!! Now if I was my mother I would say dry the toilet paper and reuse!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@jesthesinginggardener]

lol I thought about it 😂

[@everythingbeautiful58]

There is a plant Astilboides it is a plant for a shaded woodland garden like yours it is not aggressive it has enormous leaves that would be stunning in your beds zone 3 ps love watching your channel so relaxing thanks from here Saskatchewan canada

[@staceyallard2692]

Poor Nate! IM SO WXCITED FOR THE HOSTA TOUR!! I bought 2 stained glass this year because of you & yours are beautiful. Oh, & p.s. “GO GREEN” !!!! 🤘🏼✊🏼💚💚

[@PK-bh1ww]

I like the look of the flower bloom itself, but I don't lie how tall they are. I'd be happier with them of the stems were only about 10-12" tall. The High Sc kids do TPing in my area at Home Coming time. It's messy and a pain in the "neck" to clean up...but harmless fun. Think of those bees as your friends. I just move around out their way and don't swat at them. They won't attack you unless you sway at them and scare them. Love that red hibiscus.

[@janeta2559]

Some hosts flowers are prettier than others but I leave them all and I really appreciate that the pollinators also make use of those flowers as well. I also leave the blooms on my heucheras too.

[@109linbert]

I love the look of Maui buttercups. This year I put a couple in a pot ….. so beautiful

[@lindabosilovatz8840]

I’m so impressed that you know all the names of your hostas…I need to do some brushing up on that!! 🤣 I personally love the hosts blooms…love watching the pollinators enjoying them…and the humming birds ❤️…..it’s the best!

[@rhondaschenk5727]

I also love the way you keep your gardens so tidy! They are beautiful!

[@109linbert]

I’m a cutter ✂️ I only like the white blooms that stay straight…..purple floppy have to go lol

[@marky3131]

I’m with you on the hosta blooms. We always have bumble bees and humming birds enjoying them. That is reason enough to leave them. But to each their own

[@dawn-gr7lu]

I left mine on the humming birds love them. But I just cut them off this AM! When they start drying out.and are not so pretty.😊

[@NicoleSmithGardening]

LOL! I wouldn’t clean that up either! 😂 You’re a class act (keeping it classy, Jes!l🤐) ❤️

[@kristinnorgaard6218]

The humming bird enjoy them here in Washington

[@shenikablack8190]

Hostas blooming I potted my first ever and it bloomed and I was like huh well do your thing lol

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Jes . Your hostas looks wonderfuland I love thier flowers. The red flowers of the hibiscus are charming Have anice day ..🌺🌻🌺

[@marionsaul7781]

I use to make flower arrangements out of the Hosta blooms and people at work would always ask me what they were!

[@cherygreer9884]

Well, sweet Jess you handled that tp incident with grace. I can see that Nate was NOT happy. I do agree that they should come and clean it up and apologize to you. I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear Nate " address" the issue with the little "scalawags" ! I am not a huge fan of the blooms on my hostas but my husband adores them so I keep them for him and the pollinators. Your gully is my favorite shade garden on you tube!! I have adopted your love of heucheras and hostas for their color and am revamping spaces with them to add more color and texture! Can't wait to hear if your water issue gets resolved.

[@michellepollino4986]

I love the hosta blooms and they make a great cut flowers. I hope the TP people did not hurt anything in your garden. It makes sense that Nate should clean it up. Your garden is looking amazing!

[@elizabeth6687]

Aww Jess it’s a hummingbird moth. I love the blooms on my hostas and so do hummingbirds!😀

[@lizmerritt2148]

I used to cut the blooms but I leave the blooms for the pollinators now. I cut them back once the blooms are spent. love all your hostas

[@thamaraclosinks678]

Beautiful Garden ! From Brazil 🌼

[@gabyshallenberger74]

I have to say that I don’t really care for the hostas blooms because I think they make the plant look messy BUT the Guacamole blooms and the Fragrant Bouquet blooms are so beautiful🥰 I Do Not cut the blooms off from my hostas cause I see the hummingbirds love the blooms

[@rhondaschenk5727]

You go girl regarding making Nate cleaning up the TP mess! Regarding your question on the hosta blooms. I’m not a huge fan but I will let them bloom for the pollinators. But as soon as the blooms start dying, I will trim them back. Your gardens look fabulous!

[@debrawhobrey1625]

I like the Hosta blooms. I agree don't like people doing tpd.

[@nblair1335]

Thank goodness it didn't rain after they decorated with tp.

[@patwebb6522]

Jes, I'm so in love with your gully it is so beautiful all the different colors and so many varieties of Hostas just gorgeous 😍 and thank you for answering my question about what to do with my cinema flowers that want to fall over. I have a few other plants around them but I think they just get so top heavy. Yes, thank you for answering my question I so much appreciated it 😊 will God's blessings to you and Nate ❤ and sweet Max ❤️

[@tannenbaumgirl3100]

It appears, Nate needs to hang around some grown-up friends. You'd be surprised how much nutrients trees can take out of the soil, perhaps there is something happening with the roots, some kind of root rot, nematodes or even some animal snacking on the roots, but overall everything looks very healthy! Lovely Garden! Looking forward to the Hosta tour video.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Lol!

[@No_Name_No_Face_]

Love your hostas, Jes! Have you heard of HVX disease in hostas? Having learned of it in the past year, I'm concerned about introducing new plants to my gardens, as well as cross contamination by dividing and clipping without disinfecting tools in between plants. You have a great collection.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Yes I’ve heard of that. And I feel like one of mine might have it but I can’t tell. I think I might dig it out just to be safe. Scary stuff

[@suebailey6893]

The kids out here in our town do it for pretty much all their school team coaches. A once A year tradition that is no big deal. I love the hosta blooms they are cool!

[@beverlysmith9854]

Some of my hostas have pretty blooms and some don't. If the are tall and skinny, I cut them back but some on the shorter stems bloom prettier.

[@marilynbruckman3610]

Yes, I like the hosta blooms the pollinators love the hosta blooms too!

[@marylashbrook8495]

I love the hosta blooms until it’s time to clean them up. 😊

[@rosiesingleton6480]

I love the hosta blooms - & so does the pollenaters

[@cottagekey]

I love to see the hosts blooms!

[@annwoleben5439]

I like hosta blooms. I cut them when they are in full bloom and use them as fillers in floral arrangements.

[@connieclay5527]

I wish i knew all of the hosta names! I love the blooms, and i love watching the hummingbirds sip from them! Yesterday i had at least three at a time in that area. I also have a nectar feeder they like to visit. Sorry you had to put up with that little prank, but I'm guessing it was all in fun. I remember getting tp'd when my kids were seniors during the homecoming week. I love your gardens and peaceful videos. Blessings!

[@nmp6338]

The guys who tepeed Nat are very immature. Such a childish, disrespectful thing to do to YOUR lovely garden that you work so hard keeping neat and tidy. Didn’t they have anything better to do in the middle of the night? Your hosta varieties are lovely. I live in Southeastern Michigan and the heavy rains that we have had recently made the blooms look so messy. I have over two hundred hostas bordering my neighbor’s driveway. I started with six plants over forty years ago. They are shaded by my home and camouflage the brick foundation of my 1937 home. But I removed all of the spent blooms this week. They look spectacular now. Your videos are always so enjoyable to watch. Your passion for plants is so evident in your beautiful gardens. Your plants are so prolific and healthy.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

😂 this made me laugh so hard. You are funny!

[@donnasmalley3713]

I notice butterflies enjoying the hosta blooms. Some of mine are quite fragrant! I really liked the blue flowered hostas you had

[@helen1962]

I’m sure they had no idea how attached you are to your garden. Forgive and forget but make sure they’re aware for the future!

[@mychinadoll312]

I love your attitude Jes, coming from how your Mum raised you. ‘Least said soonest mended’ is a quote I found in my mother’s autograph book that I inherited. Love your gardens. God bless

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Love that!

[@BirdieSeven]

Love your ‘movies’! I love the blooms on my hostas, but as soon as they look spent, I am happy to clean them up. I have to leave about 10 inches of the flower stalk, though, or I completely forget where they are, as they die down to the ground and I clean up all the leaves, too. In the spring, when I see their little spears poking up, THEN I pull out the remaining pieces of the old flower stalks. P.S., when I was in High School, getting your yard TP’d, meant you were well liked and popular!

[@deettarichardson3682]

The only Hosta bloom I let stay is the big green hostas with the white bloom that smells so good. I love hostas

[@fredagordon3328]

I don't particularly care for the hosta blooms but I let them do their thing until they start looking ratty then they have to go. I'm loving watching your gardening videos!

[@LauraWersell]

So thankful for your heart and your attitude in a upsetting situation. Press on and keep showing your positive attitude 😁

[@richbishop7896]

I love the hosta blooms.

[@pamelashipman1414]

One day ( MAYBE YEARS ) you will look back on this and laugh about the toilet paper situation. I think the hosta blooms are pretty.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Probly! 😂
