It’s so fun to watch the progress of your property!!! With you and Michael Glassman, the “charm” in your Romantic Country gardens will be stunning! You are so fortunate to have all that help with your transformation, with Andrew the painter, your arborist, your irrigation installer & your wonderful husband!! Quite the team❤❤❤

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

The dream team! 💗💗💗

What a difference a color makes, the pergola looks so fresh and happy. Seeing the house behind you while you plant, I can picture the jasmine already.

[@marialicemorgan19]

This video brought back such good memories for me. My mom and I used to go plant shopping together for our gardens. She was a plantaholic enabler 😂. She is 92 now and can no longer garden. I miss those days.

[@lustraveller717]

I miss my mom so much. She taught me so much about gardening and propagation. She passed away in December of 2011 but is always with me when I garden.

[@grisespino5342]

Plant shopping with Mom, priceless. Heliotrop smells wonderful. Ladies take care your bones; vitamin D + C = 💪

[@joycelynbell1434]

I must go find some butterfly bushes this weekend😊

[@sjerzgrl]

Loved your shopping trip with your mom. Thank you for explaining the differences between the butterfly bushes. I didn’t know there were differences in sizes per type. This info was very helpful.

[@MarigoldsintheGarden]

You are doing such a great job Janey. It is a nightmare working with compacted soil! Awe, it's a shame that you have to cut down the gorgeous burgundy coloured plum trees. I could just imagine golden forsythia plants growing on your fence and getting the stunning contrast of the two colours. The shape of the plum trees is beautiful too. I guess if they are old and diseased you have no choice.

[@shereeralph3802]

Miss Molly is beautiful! I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it hits its groove. You know, you could always pop another ornamental plum in, or what could be Ah-ma-zing, a weeping cherry. 😊 I wish I had space in my yard for one! Loving watching your new space evolve and develop. 😁

[@wendymckee6627]

I laughed when she said yes they will fit. And u were like …. Yes!!! That’s exactly how I would be 😂

[@lindaga820]

OH MY GOSH , I can't believe what a difference paint makes !!!!!! Can't wait to see the patio floor done . Those black iris are beautiful. You guys have done so much in a short time. It is soooo much fun going on this journey with your family. Hope you and your family and all you fellow gardeners have a great day !!!!

[@Ingridvieira310]

Janey .. you’re so classy !!! Dressed in your dig, plant, water T-shirt and garden overalls .. with your pearl earrings and amazing sunglasses 😎. Love it !! Look forward to each new video and transformation. 🪴🍃

[@MK-wm6gu]

Plant shopping with my daughter is one of my favorite things to do! Thanks for sharing the trip with your mom to Green Acres.

[@tammydeschenes4857]

Love seeing the house behind you. Looking so good already. I totally believe in no dig and have been using this concept for years now but if it were me I would definitely get that soil tilled with lots of organic matter just this once since your starting with a clean slate. Prepping it now would be much easier than later. Don’t know how plant roots could grow in such compacted hard soil.

[@tammydeschenes4857]

@@katethegardener So am I. Time will tell.

[@HayleyatHome_]

Oh my goodness, Janey! Your house is looking night and day better! What a difference some paint, flowers, and attention can make. Such an inspiration! 🌸

[@carolyost6733]

Love watching you on your journey. So sweet to think of Robbie in your plant shopping! Good buds are a true gift.

[@shelleymalone4427]

I am enjoying every moment of your journey. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@heatherk2693]

That nursery looks nice! Your exterior is looking better and better. The power of paint!

[@jeuler7266]

When you were planting your house looked so good behind you! It has so much life and color! Can’t wait to see your espalier video. You have inspired me to try one next year.

[@joanreichenbach4896]

Too funny…my brother lives in the Apple Hill area too. It made me happy to hear you mention the area. Michael Glassman owes us a referral fee since my sister just said she is going to sign a contract with him to design her back yard. Michael’s consultation with her was a hoot.

[@eileenchang2173]

Hi Janey, I cannot believe that you and Jason just moved in. Your property looks so different! Gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️🌸🇨🇦

[@DH-ku6qg]

Would it help if you asked a local farmer to till that most of the soil where you planted the butterfly bush? That way it would be easier for all you future planting and make it much more pleasant to dig holes in the future.

[@kkatmom]

Your house is looking really nice. The black on the pergola looks great, it makes it recede. I can’t wait to see the espalier! I loved shopping plants with my mom, we enabled each other quite nicely! It was lovely to see you with your mom.

[@SunshineShellz]

The pergola looks so much better! My favorite is still your office, door and trim area ❤that is just so pretty to look at! Perfect sage color.

[@imaginecastles]

You might want to look at John and Bob's products for amending your clay soil. I've also got some concrete-like clay soil and usually amend it with gypsum, compost, and John and Bob products prior to planting a new bed.

[@beckybainer9019]

Hey Girl, the house is really looking sharp with the new paint, great job! It might be worth your while to have someone come with a commercial rototiller to do your whole island to get you started off on the right foot, it will make planting easier and get your plants a shot at proper drainage.

[@twilastout1670]

There are some beautiful black parrot tulips. They are fringed and look so good tight and unfolded.😮

[@katjo0812]

Love when you do teaching segments, really is informative!

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

So happy for you Janey that you are starting to plant. In addition to adding to the beauty of your landscape, it will give you the experience with your soil that is needed for the future success of your garden!! Can't wait to see more, especially the formal plans with Michael!

[@jackiroundtree1459]

Good morning. Just sitting with a cup of coffee and my dog Bo. When you said, "woohoo" cause your mom was pulling in, my dog sat right up, looking around like you were talking to him. So sweet😊

[@AlBGood]

We send for our Miss Molly it’s beautiful you should see how many butterflies come to hang around her. Plus hummingbirds and dragonflies. It’s such a beautiful plant. It was great to see your mom shopping for plants with you.❤❤

[@natalieb2160]

Yay the first plants are in the main front area in the ground. Love that you got to go to the garden centre with your mum.

[@teresaortiz9902]

The pergola looks great! Your house is coming alive. What a difference paint can make!💚

[@gracefulgrowing144]

What a fun day shopping with mama!! And your 1st plantingsn the ground, woo hoo ❤❤

[@vickimiracle5077]

The black looks great, I can't wait to see the deck part painted too. It's nice that you have your plans and know what you can deal with later and what will make still make a statement!! Can't wait to see what Michael has in the works.

[@JacquiQ]

wow that pergola painted black looks so much better ! Gonna look amazing when deck painted black too. I could never have envisaged such a transform when u first showed that house. Well done u.

[@donna-n5h]

The pergola looks great. What a difference the paint makes! Thanks for sharing your shopping trip with your Mom with us . Miss Molly and Heliotrope will look fantastic together with their beautiful jewel toned colors. I’ll be on the lookout for a Miss Molly Proven Winner , because I have heard that certain types of Butterfly bushes are invasive like you mentioned to us .

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Your Mom is great Can’t wait to see Micheal Glassman again!!!

[@janeta2559]

The memories of plant shopping with my daughters are so fun. So glad you had the opportunity to spend time together with your mom. That grouping is going to be so pretty. Looking forward to all the upcoming videos this week my flower friend !

[@lindadevore5811]

Beautiful progress!! I noticed some of the deck in the front has been sanded down to it’s natural look and I actually love the natural wood look on the deck with the white color on the house and the dark trim !! Ever consider the natural wood color on the decks with a sealer instead of the dark stain ? Love all that you are doing! Thanks for sharing it all❤

[@heathermcelroy7171]

If you can find an electric jackhammer you will be so glad to have it! Thank you for the great video!

[@teresaj6585]

You two are so cute. What a fun day! Painting progress & pretty plants 😁Just a cautionary thought (sorry)... in the country, the rodents may use your espalier for a freeway straight into your roof/attic. You'll have to keep a close watch.

[@jeriwebb700]

I would of never thought of that!!

[@lynnetteosborn2884]

Hello from Texas ! You should replace the plum trees with crape myrtle trees for color , there are many colors to pick from !

[@jeriwebb700]

That would be gorgeous!!

[@dawn-gr7lu]

Oh boy! I just bought 33 new Bearded Iris from Schreiner’s in Oregon and planted a new bed!!!! Have been collecting them for years!!!! Love One of my favorite flowers!!! Have from white to black all colors!!!! Enjoy! Can’t wait for next spring here in NE Pa.😊

[@nikkichevere]

Janey is definitely a creature of habit🥰 from paint to her plants but if you know what works or what you like why not keep doing those things. I will say I'm excited to see what awesome new plans she has in store next spring.

[@FreeRangeDiva]

i saw some Heliotrope at my local garden center and I had the same reaction as your mom: I couldn't smell a thing!! 😆oh and I almost killed a newly-planted buddleia this spring because I wasn't giving it enough water. Apparently, they need more water in my area (zone 10, well-draining soil, coastal climate) so I needed to really soak it. I now soak it once a week and it's doing great!

[@donnajennings6566]

If you need a tree that makes a beautiful shade here in the valley ,try a Chinese evergreen elm. It makes a wonderful dappled shade and it doesn't have any of the problems as egulare

[@jenmason40]

😮 this place is enormous!!!!! Such beautiful flowers & grasses & shrubs!!! Sooooo lucky!! Live in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 zone 5. I would have so much fun there 😉

[@MariePotsPlants]

What a monumental moment! 😊 if you wanted another tree.. maybe some weeping cherry trees to compliment Robbie.. and they are so beautiful and romantic in the spring! Idk fruit tree aren’t my favorite but the weeping cherry is gorgeous! Fruit trees tend to be messy. Well ours are (plum and cherry)

[@Chopperdoll]

That larger butterfly was a gulf fritillary butterfly and the host plants for Caterpillar is the passion vine. It’s a beautiful flowers. The Caterpillar are orange with black spikes. ❤

[@rosemarythyme6351]

Your graphics for the Buddleia series are beautiful! Starting at 17:50. Fun garden center fieldtrip with your Mom! Isn't wonderful to share the love of plants with her?! I shared gardening with my Mom, too. Precious memories to cherish now.

[@redalert7777]

Thank you for showing the Tapien Verbena! This was one of my favorite plants we had, was such a vibrant color but unfortunately died, and had NO idea what is was because my Husband bought and planted it.

[@rachelletaylor4215]

Loved the video. Just remember when swinging the camera to fast it makes it difficult to watch.

[@virginiaramirez4214]

Loved your choice’s of plants. Happy Gardening 🪴

[@susanjoslin3669]

😍I’m noticing a change already! It’s going to be fun watching your progress over the next year(s). Your enthusiasm is so sweet - wishing you a beautiful garden journey.

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Ooooooohh pergolas are looking fantastic!!!! 💕👍🏻

[@BC-qx7dp]

These videos make my heart happy. You’re such a ray of sunshine. Can’t wait to see Michael Glassman again too!

[@lexissinclair]

The property is looking good. Love the black paint. I have all three series of butterfly bush in my landscape. Just an FYI - the PW Pugster series is a non-sterile variety. THE Miss and Lo & Behold series are the sterile varieties.

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Awesome video, feels like I'm with y'all at the garden store. I love everything you bought.thr pergola looks soooooòo beautiful.

[@vickijackson9115]

Really enjoyed this video. Fun watching you and your Mom shopping at the Nursery. All your detailed information is priceless. Even living in N. Dallas,Texas the way you explained the planting information is very helpful. So looking forward to the Jasmine being planted.

[@bevjensen2278]

True friendship.....let's get a black iris for Robbie!!! I love both your channels and look for them every day. Learning so much from you even though I'm in canada, zone 5b.

[@thebackyardbloomscaitlin]

That JASMINE! WOW, amazing! Can't wait to see. I am wanting to put an espalier on my garage wall that is in my backyard. I am leaning towards Goldflame Honeysuckle.

[@nancynoascono747]

The front of you house is looking better and better as it is trimmed in the black paint! I can't wait to see how beautiful it all looks as you and your Husband develop the landscape! So excited for you!!

[@pconan1]

Nice progress. So excited about your transformation of this tired property to a home as beautiful as your last.

[@barbaracole4314]

Thanks so much for explaining the different budlleia plants, never knew that ... your Mom's car was really packed with beautiful plants

[@missyslittlethingsinlife1920]

😂😂😂 The glove off to the side next to your tools looked like a hand. 😂😂😂

Hi Janey, so that’s where all the monarchs hang out! I hoped they followed you home ! 😁❤🇨🇦

[@debrasherron2843]

Pergola looks so much better. You are so good with your detailed information and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for sharing ♥

[@lorrainemcwhorter2796]

I want the Miss Ruby color in my garden too! I have a huge Texas lilac it will go nicely with.

[@lindaford624]

Thanks for all the info on butterfly bushes. Can’t wait to try Pugster in the spring. I’ll start w/ one & see how it does. I have a small garden in DFW. When you paint your fence black, it will really look cohesive & amazing! Love all your plans.

[@catgal1102]

Janey, I am so excited for you and all the projects you have in the works with your new home. I really look forward to seeing your videos and becoming inspired by some of the new plants you’ve chosen. I can’t wait to buy some more Buddleias to plant in my own garden! Loved the plant shopping trip with your mom 😊

[@sandyd4922]

You should make something out of the wood from the trees you cut down. Some kind of bench, stool or garden art❤

[@lindaheckert8495]

The Pergola looks beautiful even though it’s old wood the trim looks beautiful. I love it you’re doing a wonderful job. You just Gotta pace yourself.

[@staceyalarcon4027]

Painting the pergola made a huge difference. I cannot wait to see it after you get rid of the red deck.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Plant shopping my favorite! love the Sage and the pergola looks great!

[@chrisscasserra1181]

Please please please walk us through setting up the star jasmine espalier. I want to do this so bad but I need a tutorial

[@jeriwebb700]

Me too!

[@northoftheequator2094]

Wondering how to tell when a tree is on its way out and needs to be cut down. From a non-expert pov, the plum trees look fine.

[@christak1144]

Janey first plantings are in!!!! Exciting. Omgosh the house over your shoulder looks so great with slate on that pergola, that estpolis star jasmine will be beautiful.

[@gilldunican]

When you were doing the close up while talking about the butterfly bushes…the image of the house in the background looked amazing! The difference is day and night. You really wouldn’t think it was the same house. ❤

[@elizabethhunt4185]

I love all the information you give and all the fun things!

[@lyndastevens9726]

Great video! Thanks!❣️

[@salimorton641]

Janey, wonderful shopping trip with your Mom! The painter did more than "lipstick on a pig"for the pergolas! And thank you for the tip on Pugsters,they are sterile which I can plant. I am pushing the HOA rules. 😊

[@yesidtac7863]

Execelente plantas

[@sydneykasmar]

I'm excited to see plants go in the ground. The Star Jasmine you found are incredible.

[@gaylerichards7409]

Fun day going to the garden store with you and your mom. Glad you got some plants in the ground. I got rid of my plum tree and so happy I did.

[@judymiddleswart9350]

You go go girl!!!

[@CarolLayaou-h8i]

You could put a cover over the pergola to protect you when you are sitting on the deck. Would help keep it from anymore rottening too. Just an idea. 😊

[@jeriwebb700]

I have a coolaroo sun shade, and it makes a big difference

[@thelioness3305]

BTW You are doing great! Wish you had more sponsors to help you.

[@vpearson]

I wish we had a Green Acres in So California!! so envious!

[@Laura-J-Z]

Everything is looking soooooo good!!!

[@Kathyc87]

Wow that green Green acres is so much bigger than the old one in Roseville. It’s huge.

[@kfetter9046]

Wow! That nursery certainly has a lot of bulbs! Hooray! The planting has begun! Any plans on covering the island with compost to improve the soil? Love your sunglasses Janey!

[@zeetalzee5582]

It was really cool as you were setting up to plant, the zig zag nature of that planter blends now that it's the slate color. it just looks like a straight planter when you're far enough away. :) It's really coming together. :)

[@thelioness3305]

Espoma starter is amazing!!! Can we request them to sponser you so you get free bags? They have done that for others.

[@bellaj.4937]

I always enjoy your plant shopping! Thanks for the plant info too. I think I will plant another a butterfly bush now 🤗🦋💕.

[@visitourgarden]

I SAW NOTHING! 😂😘

[@jeriwebb700]

Ha Ha Ha!! I think she should gift wrap whatever you did not see!! Love your channel, Just discovered it because of Janey!!

[@Gardeningathelake]

My suggestion would be to get a tiller and work the whole front area and amend all that hard rock soil, would be much easier for planting and weeding down the road, 😊

[@jeannettejohnson2572]

I’m like your mom- I had some heliotrope and couldn’t smell it, either!

[@jazzturtles]

The planter area looks so pretty behind you!! So exciting to see everything coming together!

[@rachelshepherd8099]

The exterior paint is so much better! Thanks for the background info on the butterfly bushes.I have clay soil and have to set mine up a bit so they don't have wet feet.

[@jeriwebb700]

The pergola looks fantastic! Can't wait to see the rest of the deck painted! I don't have any butterfly bushes, but now I want some. Thank you for explaining the differences between them. That was really helpful!!
