🏡 Painting, 📸 Pictures, and 🌴 Palm Trees!!! :: A VERY Productive Day at the New Property!

[@jenniferspoor2402]

Your grouping of peach trees are planted in the “Grow a little fruit tree” method, which is a book by Ann Ralph. I highly recommend reading it. Dave Wilson Nursery also has a lot of videos on youtube about how to prune fruit trees to keep them on the smaller side (so you don’t need a ladder to pick the fruit). For the grouping, you would essentially prune it as if it were one tree, by keeping the center open and branches growing outwards.

[@6665cjs]

I came here to say this!! Dave Wilson recommends this planting method!

[@BCBRENDA]

Hut send before finishing. I enjoy watching your KZbin videos. I look forward each day wondering what you're going to do next. Keep up the wonderful, loving videos. Blessings to you and your family. ❤

[@tammyrice1529]

Ask the propane company if you can paint the tank. Some companies will let you paint it. Be sure first before you do it. If they do paint it to match the fence so it blends in.

[@MK-wm6gu]

That seems like an excellent idea!

[@lindaphillips7936]

I was thinking about that

[@travisb8288]

There’s also propane tanks that can be buried, just another exspense though. 😬

[@franbernhards7844]

Have you thought of putting a door in the front of your kitchen to the bunny palace (former apartment) area? It would make it so much more accessible. And I know your girls would be really disappointed, but this former apartment area would make an amazing master bedroom suite. That would solve your small master bedroom issue. It would also be nice to have the master bedroom on the other side of the house.

[@debbie2917]

What a difference a day makes! I’m starting to see your vision. 😁 Also, the office looks so much better painted out brighter. Good decision. Loving everything 💕🏡 🌳

This was so exciting to watch. Removing the large shrubs has totally changed look of the home.

[@georgiaabert]

The day after our professional landscaper planted our backyard, watering front and back drained our water tank. This was in Madera County. We quickly learned we would need another well to support all our plants. We also needed a reverse osmosis system for water quality. We loved living in the country but the wells needed a lot of upkeep. Be sure to leave easy access for large vehicles to be able to access your well. I’m 72 and your planters inspired me to start a container garden on my patio. We live in Clovis, Ca., also zone 9b. Congratulations on your new home and gardens! I will enjoy watching the transformation of your new property!

[@pconan1]

❤❤Not long enough maybe😂🎉. Man oh man I am loving watching you take this on! Renovation videos are my favorite. You will be totally transforming your new place. I can’t even explain how much fun I will get from watching this. This is much better than any new tv series or whatever people look forward to watching. Best of luck to you!!! I love this so much. You’ve already inspired me for my own tiny yard.

[@kristibrooks967]

Hi Janey, everyone will make suggestions of course but my idea would be to put your computer desk out at an 'L' from the window wall. Better for your eyes, preserves your beautiful view and lets in more of the gorgeous light ✨️ 😊

[@BCBRENDA]

Your computer exposed to the sun over a period of time may not be good for it.

[@barbarawitt9989]

Hi Janey! I have a suggestion..your arborist probably has to pay some place to dump all those chips he accumulates.. ask him if he would occasionally drop some off at your house; he could save $, and so could you! You will find that you need a great many! Laying down chips regularly will improve the soil, inhibit weeds, etc....you know all the benefits! Just a suggestion that you both benefit from. Great video! Ask him to drop chips from healthy trees and brush, of course.

[@katherineridings7937]

How satisfying was that! Who knew the huge rose removal would be so transformative! Thanks for sharing everything, Janie. Keep it coming!

Love the white office area. Makes it look so much bigger. It's coming along, squirrels and bunnies oh my..

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Who would think going along w you in this video, for all this progress, would be so engrossing + rewarding? We're going to be guests to an amazing, season-by-season transformation. This is a wonderful, creative oppty for you & Jason; your family will make such sweet memories here.

[@sbarton291]

You scored today in getting the extra work done and finding the fruit and nut chart. Dave Wilson Nursery is one of the best fruit tree growers in the SJV. It's very common to have 4 fruit trees planted like that, in one hole, that have similar growth habits. It allows you to have a variety of fruit in a smaller space such as a backyard; as is the "fruit salad" trees where 4 different varieties are grafted on one root stock. Your scenario usually works better. That's why you "couldn't find those other fruit trees", they were included in one hole. I hope you have a good well with decent GPM, that's something you should consider when designing the landscape. You don't want to turn on the water and walk away and forget. Who will have to dig the new gas line from the new location to house, you or the propane company? Please be mindful of where the bunnies go, there's critters out there that would like to eat them. Small changes have already made a big difference!

[@allenslater9234]

Janey! How exciting to have an arborist guiding you regarding the proper trees to both plant and remove. The front yard is looking more and more like a blank slate. You, Jason and the girls will have years of enjoyment making this property your own.💖🌲🌲🌲🌻

What a difference with the fresh paint, and your office! And with having all those trees and rosebushes taken out. Is fun to watch the progress! Just wanted to say thank you SO much for letting my sister bring me by your old house and to tour your garden the other day, especially when you have SO much going on with moving! It was an honor and a dream come true to be able to see it firsthand before you moved! Thank you for being so sweet and gracious during a very busy period of your lives.

What a blessing the information from the arborist! If you burn make sure your county is not in a burn ban. You could rent a heavy duty chipper. I see a truck in your future!

[@LitlPoot]

What a great day ... the smile on your face tells the whole story !!!! So good to get all the "junk" out and start with a clean slate. Looking forward to what comes next ... it's going to be an exciting, beautiful journey and I'm so grateful you have chosen to share it all with us !!! 😎

[@deborahcarson5927]

I would paint the whole fence on your side a medium gray, it would look so much better, then you could paint the propane tank, and the other tank, and they will blend in like there not there. The tree removal looks great !!

[@fire925dancer]

Careful with the mulch chips, we used mulch chips from trees we removed and it ended up being full of bad bugs so we ended up having to remove it.

[@elkeerickson5300]

If the ornamental plum is removed, I would think that moving the gate so the opening is centered on the island would make a much nicer view when entering than looking down a long blacktop driveway. Also a better view from the house.

[@Amber0220]

I agree. I would remove all the trees there and all the bricks in that flower bed and redo that entire space. More opportunities with different gates also.

[@BenjesBride]

Best day ever!! A great arborist is worth his weight in gold - so glad you found one.

[@Nanasews4]

Check around and see if your area has a yard waste compost site . We here in Pa, have a compost site, we pay a fee per year, then are given a bob...(key like) to open the gate, drive through and drop off our waste. They have two spaces, one for yard waste, one for wood waste. NO grass clipping are allowed ...because of chemicals that might have been used on them. After the item have composted or been chipped, they have free, mulch or compost.. Load your own. It is available to use 7days a week , from dawn to dust, no night time access. Love it. Check around and see if your area has one.

[@katy2222]

Janey!! The four stone fruit trees planted so closely together is called Backyard Orchard Culture from Dave Wilson’s Nursery. That’s how they recommend homeowners to plant their trees to maximize space and how these trees will produce fruit at different times.

[@mdorn6592]

If you have big weedy patches around your landscape, to tamp down and keep it from getting 'out of hand', you can go with the 'no till method' of laying down cardboard (which you'll probably have on hand from the move) and then placing a thick layer of mulch on top. It will sit and break down into compost until you're ready to deal with that part of the yard - Because it sounds like you will be working on section by section. All the tree mulch will go to good use without having to burn it

[@debrabray8855]

Your videos are never too long! I enjoyed this one so much. It reminded me of our move to the country and how exciting it is to make things your own. We also removed a huge palm tree and it was SO satisfying! The office looks spectacular. My new favorite KZbin channel. 😊

[@natalieb2160]

What a difference. I am glad they were able to remove the bushes too. I am sure once they tank is moved you will really be able to work out the vision of the front area. Soo Fantastic you were able to walk around with your arborist and discuss the trees in and around your property so you can start planning what to plant sooner rather than later so the privacy trees have time to grow. Soo exciting for you and your family.

[@MrsDebBee]

Hügelkultur!!! If you didn’t learn about this in your master garden classes, google Hugelkultur beds. You can use them for vegetable beds or flower beds. We have used them in very larger planter containers, raised beds, and in burms. Also, ask your arborist to bring you wood chips when they are in your area! They need to dump them somewhere! Your property is beginning to look like a blank canvas. But remember the first place to begin is with the soil! Wood chips, compost, and hugelkultur returns living organisms back to the soil! And if you do burn any wood, be sure to use your ashes in your soil. #soilhealth!

[@lynl8897]

Can you paint the propane tank the same color as the fence so it will blend in? So much progress already!

[@tinapaxton4231]

I use a small chipper for my yard waste. Much better than trying to man a burn pile plus I can use the chips in my garden.

[@oneblockwonderwoman6833]

From another rural California gardener. We do burning here in Monterey county, but we need to get a burn permit and follow certain rules like checking before we burn if it is a burn day, which is weather dependent. Also burn season is usually only January to May, also depending on how much moisture we get. You're also limited to the size of a pile you can burn, but you can add more as your pile burns down. When burn season is over, we make small piles of the garden debris and ny husband chops them up by running over them with the mower attached to our tractor. We also feed a lot of the trimmings to the 2 steer we keep in our pasture. But we have 17 acres and a lot of room to make piles. With your smaller property with most of it being garden area, a chipper might be the best way to go. And you might want to check with your goat neighbor if they would mind if you fed some of your trimmings to his goats, checking to make sure what you give them isn't poisonous.

Lookin' good, Janey! How about matting and framing the fruit tree chart and hanging it in your office? A real pop of color on the white wall, as well as some "history" of your property. Just a suggestion.!

[@kfetter9046]

That is so cool that you found the Fruit and Nut Harvest Dates chart, and you can now have a better idea of what type of trees you have. I love BM white dove paint. We were surprised at how many shades of white there were too! The white will make everything look fresh and new, and you can then easily add color with your furnishings and accents. Janey, your new place is going to be a showstopper inside and out! What a fantastic experience you had with the tree company! I was just as excited as you to see all that they did. That was very smart of you to ask for the chips. They like it too because it saves them from having to haul it to the dump. I had no idea they would be also be willing to remove the roses and the buddleia, and they even offered to remove the retaining wall?! Wow! You struck gold with them. Say, why don't you paint the propane tank and put our "Dig, Plant, Water, Repeat" on it? I loved every minute of this video, and cannot wait to see the next one!😄

[@maree8470]

Your videos make me smile. An idea you may already have had, is to take down the two lots of overhead cabinets in the kitchen, that will make the dining, kitchen, office area more open and add light to the kitchen. Love the progress you have made already.....

[@bethreisman8869]

Agree! Removing those upper kitchen cabinets above countertop/bar area would be transformative for the feel of the kitchen. Also, when the countertops are changed, I would change the bar height section and make it all one counter height. It will feel more gracious and “new”. Also increase the counter overhang enough to comfortably have eating area with bar stools (counter height stools).

[@ThePieceFullGarden]

I love all the changes! Crazy what a difference some paint and tree removal can make. So exciting!!! 🎉

[@eileenchang2173]

Hi Janey, your shoulders must’ve dropped a ton watching your land get cleared and the painting being done! How timely was that arborist visit and assessment! I am so happy for you! 🌸❤️🇨🇦

[@CarrinHalffman]

In my rural county in Oregon, woody debris can be taken to the county dump, where it is turned into organic compost, or to a nearby landscape supply company, which also uses it to make organic compost. But you do need to haul it! You might need a pickup truck now that you're in the country!

[@themainer1267]

That beam in the office would look great with herbs hanging from it to dry. White was the way to go. That tree company did a terrific job. Hopefully the camouflage for the propane tank won't compete with that beautiful gate that's planned. Sounds like it's time for the plum trees to go. What a great tour, thank you.

[@kellyrobin718]

The yard is coming along, it’s definitely baby steps. It’s so nice to get everything organized first before beginning the design. I would suggest asking a Irrigation co. To come out and check all the lines and have them move that station in the front of your house to a more secluded area , so weird they put all that piping and landing in the front against the house🤷🏻‍♀️ you may want to update the timer organization box as well, the newer ones are easy and connected to your phone so you can control any zone from your phone ..the co. Should also walk around and point out all the zones and what needs changing in the sprays and drip part.

We have so much debris from maintaining our acre yard that we invested in a trailer about 15 years ago. We park it in the back and take it to a local Fresno County green waste facility when it’s full. We use big tarps to collect and drag to the trailer. For a maintenance plan, my husband took aerial shots with his drone and I printed out a photo, outlined 7 zones, gave them colors and assigned days to each color. That way, e.g., I know my focus on Monday is the pink zone even if the other zones also need attention. I try to spend at least 30 minutes everyday in the assigned zone. Otherwise, I feel totally overwhelmed. I did something similar with our irrigation zones. We tried to find someone to hire for maintenance, but they all want to just mow and blow which is not what we need. We only hire for specific projects. I’m so excited to see what you’re going to do! I’m happy to share what we’ve learned in the past 35 years transforming our large space into something we love!

[@tarynj.7061]

We burn our brush-it’s not as scary as you think. Thankfully, when we moved in, our neighbor gave us some great tips. In our area of SoCal, you have to call the county to get permission to burn when you live outside city limits. They ask what you’re burning (brush) and how big your piles are (4-5’ x 4-5’). If you don’t call to get permission, you can be fined (if caught). Just keep your piles small and away from the house, and make sure you have water very nearby. Good luck!

[@pegbert12]

Glad you are having so much fun with your new country property. I live on a farm in San Joaquin County. Traditionally, you need to contact your county and request a burn permit and tell them the purpose farming, orchard etc. There are specifically designated burn days that are posted on line. Burning without a permit is illegal. Burning on non-burn days is illegal and there are fines. I just don't burn anymore due to regulations. I haul everything out or chip it myself.

I wish my husband and I had hired a painter for our house before we moved in. I think that's what my husband was planning for us to do. But I was ambitious and thought that we could tackle it together and save some money.WRONG! We have been in this house for two-and-a-half years and it is still not completely painted. We have 5 rooms that are mostly painted. 2 of those 5 rooms are the kids rooms. And the rest of the house has not been touched . Those 2 are the only rooms that are completely painted. Our hallway has a bunch of doorways and only 2 of them are painted white. LOL. I seriously regret that decision. Because now it's going to be more difficult to paint because we have furnished most of the house.🤦 but anyway your place looks great! I'm so happy for you guys!

Finding that Dave Wilson fruit tree poster is a good clue to your orchard area. Dave Wilson teaches a high density planting technique which you have right in your front yard with those four trees planted so close together. You’ll want to check into that when your life settles down. There are videos about it on Urban Farmstead. Kyle is in Sacramento and shows all about it! The basic idea is to keep trees short so you don’t have to harvest on tall ladders. Planting close together keeps them short, along with specific pruning techniques. I’m in Utah but my daughter is close to you so I’ve been enjoying getting gardening zone ideas from you to share with her! Good luck with your move and all the fun gardening plans!

Your pace and sense of order are impressive. I will be tuning in daily as I'm so excited for you and looking forward to seeing everything!!! You are simply outstanding at your craft.
