Ms. Yvonne, look up the no till method! You lay cardboard down, then cover with mulch. The cardboard will suppress the weeds and the mulch on top will keep it neat and tidy till you are ready to plant. It beats the heck out of digging up weeds and grass!

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you for sharing that

[@vickyroberson2441]

KZbinr Garden Answers has used the no till method in a few places on their land & good results. Might check their videos.

[@marciamcmillan7880]

This is how I've done all my landscaping and my large veggie garden. I collected the cardboard for free from FB marketplace and got the mulch for free from chipdrop. I cover it every 2 to 3 years. Minimal weeds and no chemicals.

[@diggin-usa3863]

I love your auction videos! I love everything you make- buy- showing items. Very entertaining variety. Please keep it up

[@sharonlovesjohn]

Agree with the no till...I've been using that method for years!

[@suzanne9204]

Blue dog looks like a cocker spaniel

[@vickiulrich6694]

It is. I was going to mention that too in my comment but was too focused on peat moss. I grew up with cocker spaniels as my dad was a pheasant hunter and the cockers were tremendously talented bird dogs but when Dad didn’t hunt they were the family pets. I have a very soft spot in my heart for cocker spaniels!!!:):):)

[@user-kk3ym8yf1b]

When I saw the primitive pig at the auction, I thought “she’s going to get that” 😉

[@gailterkelsen7282]

If y’all planted a hedge between your front yard and the ditch by the road when it grew up it would muffle/absorb a lot of the road noise. It wouldn’t even have to be too high.

[@teresadoherty1853]

Aw I loved this video so much interesting infomation given. That little tea set❤❤❤ The little fat piggy, the Tea Light. All of it really!! You both have a good eye or instinct, well done.

[@terrimoore8962]

I used the no till method , used newspapers then mulch , the papers broke down and no weeds!!

[@jeannestrnad741]

Hi Yvonne....your flower bed looks like it's off to a good start...not sure how much you know about the other plants in your front yard but those with the long variegated leaves are Hosta plants and they do not do well in full sun....there's still some time to find them a shady spot to transplant them now or it can be done in the fall...hope you're back in tip top shape soon

[@maryjomathews4749]

You have a Stanley's cup 😆 sorry, I just couldn't resist.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

😂

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Blue dog is a cocker spaniel, he’s adorable. That grin on Chris’s face said it all. Hey, yeah Chris keep that front loader, it’s prefect for Christmas decor 😂. The saw blade, you could decoupage something on it. . Wow Chris you lucked up on your tools. Yvonne, you gots lovely littles and other yummy goodies. No, $4000 would have been a steal on the Jadeite and yes I love going with y’all to these sales. I do a lot drooling 🤤.😂😂😂😂😂.😊❤

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you

[@lesliejackson8188]

​@@GingerChickRehabTheJourney*Yes, the dog planter IS a Cocker Spaniel. 😉*

[@pegglover3244]

This is hysterical- I planted my balcony in wildflowers from seed! Got them from the Dollar Tree and they are coming up fantastically!! It’s so fun! Good luck!!

[@kuttfam0191]

I love all of the little farm animals. My kids spent hours playing with the OLD plastic kind at my aunts house. When she passed away, I was blessed to get them. The little tea set is so precious!

[@janetmann3557]

When I saw the chunky pig on wheels, I thought it needed to go home with you!

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

😁

[@barbaralane7577]

Not TOYS!!! Manly Trucks!!! Love it Chris!!!

[@deebeckham4754]

Pink scissors Wiss good brand. The center is for removing bottles tops or nut cracker. Bo Bottles used to come with metal caps and were very hard to remove.

[@barbgalligan4885]

Great finds!! Love the jadeite. Glad ypur feeling better. Seems ypur still a little shirt of breathe. It takes a while to recover fully.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Yes.. slow. That’s how I do thing now 💕

[@barbgalligan4885]

@GingerChickRehabTheJourney so glad ypu survived. That's a very dangerous sickness. Slow is fine.

[@lesliejackson8188]

*Oh, how I L💚VED that little metal CHILD'S TEA SET❣️‼️💕💜💚* *I also L❤VED the children's KITCHEN GADGETS - ESPECIALLY THE EGG BEATER❣️‼️❤*

[@rbirkheimer59]

Chris that was wonderful.:) All the things you guys got are so good, the animals, the cubby, the lamp....really nice. I just got my internet yesterday. We had a bad storm and a tree fell on out electric box. Just so if you were wondering that's why I haven't been watching. God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you

[@cathysmith387]

I just love to watch everything you both do.

[@lisasmart1929]

Great haul! I’d keep that sled for your collection of Santa’s! Can’t wait to see the flowers come up!❤. I have those scissors in red!

[@donnamcl6134]

Yvonne I would only think you were crazy for going that high on the jadite if you didn't have a roof over your head and was starving😂🤣You and Chris got some great items at the auction. My stepdad was a undertaker and he had the receipt praying hand holder in the funeral home. That's where people would clip the memorial envelopes. Yes I like it when you take us along to the auctions.

[@rhondagarron7699]

Was hoping you’d get that cute pig and the “littles kitchen gadgets “!! lol great great finds ! Tyfs

[@kellihull7600]

Had to pause and say I am LOVING Chris’ Grizzly Adams look ❤ also JR Jigsaw 😮 back when kids weren’t bubble wrapped 😂

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

❤

[@marlieblanton198]

It was heartbreaking to see them win the bid on the jadeite. I love all the treasures you got, even Chris's trucks. I'm not a reseller though, I would be a hoarder if I bought all those treasures, because I would want to keep everything. Lol. I love your videos and am praying for your restored health.

[@godsgreenacreshomestead708]

The only thing I can think of about all those rocks is that they may not have had gutters at one time and put them there to diffuse the water coming off the roof. I am full force gardening, and on my new mountain property I have a mountain covered in rocks that nature put there. Trade ya!! 😂🤣😂 Texas Deb

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Sounds beautiful ❤

[@jeannewatkins4074]

Love your auction videos. That sled is so cool. Who knew the animal toys we played with as kids were going to be to the bomb-diggity some day. Sorry you didn't get the jadeite. I would have been so disappointed that it went as a lot. Fantastic Sunday video, Happy Week and be well.

[@kellihull7600]

Loved the haul, the gardening and the current eBay items. Placed a bid, waiting for the windmill 😉 ❤

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

🥰

[@gladysschulz7105]

Love to watch your videos. Get lots of ideas for my crafting from you. Thanks. Those shears with the pink handles are kitchen shears and the middle with the gripping teeth is for opening bottles. Sometimes those caps are hard to unscrew from the bottle.

[@deebeckham4754]

Crazy red head.❤❤❤❤😮😮

[@3_3645]

The bunny would be cute in a terrarium

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

Thanks for your video! I love coming along to your auctions! Keep up the good work!

[@deebeckham4754]

The word you want is celluloid not cellulose. Cellulose is loose stuff like cattlefeed celluloid is a type of plastic.

[@marthamcdonald6518]

I loved your video

[@mollycottontail]

The pink scissors are kitchen scissors with a bottle opener. You got great littles especially the children's kitchen items. I love your auction videos. Hope you continue to get better.

[@cathypurdy5853]

It was really fun seeing what you got!

[@11212lala]

My favorite thing in the action haul was the little bunny on the leaf. I collect bunnies. Unique ones. I love seeing the auction videos though! Do more!!!

[@sandycook4140]

Omgosh I have to do that ! Awesome!

[@3_3645]

The butter oat plates are great for crafts to use as a platform

[@user-dk7me5ux2j]

I'm 70, and I had 2 back surgeries last year. I love pretty yards. I still mow my own yard, but this year, instead of having numerous pots of flowers to water and fertilize, I decided to do a Mexican pottery garden! It is colorful, beautiful, and easy to maintain! I won't have to go out in the 95-degree heat at least once a day to keep them watered. I live in the deep south. The heat and humidity is no joke! Plus, I can bring my pottery inside or put it on my back porch this winter. 😊❤

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Great idea..

[@sharonwinningham808]

Good morning Yvonne, mixing your flower seeds together before sowing them is a great idea...I didn't think about that ..makes it a whole lot easier with the sowing! It will be beautiful for sure. Sooo many goodies at that Auction! I was rooting for you!❤Awesome bag of little animals..I've been slowly collecting small farm animals for my Christmas Barn display...love the Windmill! Love, Love , Love the Cubby! Love Chris's Metal trucks/ dirt haulers and that wire basket!OHHHHHMYYY!! The vintage oak tool box is definitely a " Winner Winner Chicken Dinner " LOL! And YESSSSSSS! I do sooo very much love and enjoy youins auction videos just like all of youins videos! Chris and Yvonne...you two sharing the items at the the auctions/flea market/ yard sales bring me such joy, smiles and happy memories seeing vintage items..whether you buy them or not! Thank youins both! I'm sooo very proud to see youins back in the swing of things! Until next time, God Bless youins❤

[@user-gd8zg8ju6c]

give the wild flowers a couple years to really fill in, I love mine now,

[@larainefleming9143]

I don’t blame you for wanting that beautiful Jadeiate. Gorgeous!

[@wendycarpenter9165]

Kitchen shears

[@Schnooks83]

I love seeing what you get at auctions, estate sales, garage sales as thrift stores. Your hauls are so much better!

[@user-iu6iy5fn4i]

I just love the little animals reminds me of my childhood I was born in 1950 that was a great time to live and grow up I was in jr.high school when President Kennedy was assonated. My mom was born in 1927 and my dad 1925 I am old. Love your videos but you guys work to dang hard.

[@nanettecanter6118]

Great finds, the pink scissors have a jar opener in the middle.

[@maureenlevesque4898]

Love seeing the treasures you find whether it be auctions estate sales, flea markets, thank you❤

[@genevievemurray7743]

Blue spaniel. Pink kitchen scissors also crack nuts. Small blue sewing machine oil can. What an interesting and historical haul. Thanks for sharing.

[@memphis2375]

Those wildflowers are going to look amazing!! You also got some cool stuff!!😊😊

[@creativeroadsartbyjulialee9973]

Doing a project with some of those old crayons as decor would be really cool!! Love old crayon boxes

[@trinadorcheus1719]

Love watching your auction videos and sharing your haul!

[@tanjacouch3340]

lol our guys like their Kabota’s😂

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Yes they do..

[@deannaward7067]

I love the sound of the wind chime. Yard is coming along nicely.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you

[@patdowning7952]

Love the auction videos! Keep them coming!

[@danielledavison4993]

I was born in '64 and my brother and I got troll penny banks at the bank exactly like your Santa troll. Must have been around '66/67.

[@joycefloyd500]

Love going thrifting with you and Chris. So yes, please continue. Thank you.

[@linmims3049]

Wow!! That was a huge lot of Jadeite! My goodness! I'm so very sorry you had to let it go, I felt that pain with you. I would love to be able to get a tableful like that for you, I always look for jadeite when I go thrifting/estate sales/yard sales/ all sales, for you, hoping and praying one of these days I'll be able to message you to tell you I've hit the mother-load. You just never know when God is going to smile upon or wink at you. Overall that looked like a great sale, Chris got some cool pieces. I love all the littles too, I'm always attracted to those cute little rolling pins and mashers and the like. Hope you are taking it slow and easy, don't over do. Look after yourself. xx

[@SindyJune]

So much fun !!! Love the auctions. Please keep us updated with the wildflower garden..I think that is just the coolest idea. I really hope that you are feeling better ❤️...prayers for you....Thank you for the video ❤

[@deborahtaylor-baker844]

You can also use horse feed bags for weed killer to put mulch or rocks on. Roofing shingles work best. Can't wait to see your flower garden!!!

[@debbied3116]

What a collection of jadite dishes!!! I really like the way you did the corners around the house. Those flower seeds sprouted very quickly! Thanks for sharing! Love Tater keeping an eye on things. 🙂🙂 I remember playing with farm animals as those. The fun we had.☺

[@cheriayala]

No you weren’t crazy. You know your market. I want to see you win a bid like that. You got some awesome stuff. Love all the little baking things.

[@connieriedel6215]

The toolbox is gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration for the wildflowers.

[@Marliyn-ri5ez]

Hello, Yes I love going to the auctions with you both, just see so many cool things. The pink shears are for the kitchen and the middle is for taking off jar lids. I however have never see them in pink before. First time for everything. LOL. Take Care, I hope your health gets back to where it belongs.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

That’s what got my attention was the pink

[@margeburke5599]

I live in Bay City and will probably see that beautiful jadeite for sale in our antique mall here. I have to say I thought I was hearing things when I heard the amount in the bidding. Oh my goodness...

[@user-gm4ip5zl5u]

Great finds I seen you in shipshewana I was gonna say hi but got shy😅 I'm a jadiete collector for 10 years I have more than that that was a great price good job bidding I would have went as high as 6500 for all sorry you didn't get it

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Oh you should say something. I’d be overjoyed to meet you. Thank you. That was the most I ever bid on something that for sure.

[@user-gm4ip5zl5u]

@GingerChickRehabTheJourney you did good you tried that's all that matters highest I ever bid was 75000 I thought I was gonna have a heartache it's was thrilling though

[@jadestone8552]

Yes I enjoy the journey videos. I loved the little primitive pig too

[@ginacrusco234]

Can't wait to see the wild flower garden in a few more weeks!

[@marie-christinezorn1037]

More auction videos? Yesssss Pls! We've had 2 collies; I think the blue ceramic dog looks like a cocker spaniel. Last yr, I gave my dghtr my childhood Troll from 1963. It's in excellent condition w its original yellow hair exactly like your Santa Troll. I'm sorry you were out-bid on the Jadite collection but, you scored on some great items! Congrats Chris on the amazing trucks & the walnut tool box. 👏 to you both. The wild flower bed will be beautiful - I'm anxious to see the blooms! Yvonne pls don't overdo, rest often. Hugs to Tater! Blessings from Chris in Springfield 🙏💙

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you

[@jaynecoin9805]

Absolutely love your videos !!!

[@janicefuller8676]

Love this haul and the video at the actual auction. Good job!

[@huntalot3054]

Oh my the jadeite cake stand. So pretty.

[@lesliezagrobelny4820]

You will love the wildflower garden, when you lay the rocks down, get something called mulch glue, apparently it stops the weeds from coming through, it also stops the rocks from moving around. You only have to reapply it every two to three years. I’m going to use it in my revamped garden this year. It works really well on mulch too.

[@TeresaLuna-xx4ed]

I can't wait for an update on those flowers! I am definitely going try this myself. You made it look so easy!😘 💐🌷🌸🌼🌻🌹💥Thank you!❤

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

That’s what I like.. the ease of it

[@frankietindell56]

Hello Yvonne I’ve watch your video’s for along time. You and Chris found some great interesting things at this auction. The kitchen shears comments have been interesting. I remember my mom buying a whole chicken at the grocery store and used the teeth part to break the chicken bones to the sizes she needed them to be to fit into the dish she was using. We never used that part to open jars. Yvonne you have the most beautiful hair I have seen in a long time. I understand there aren’t many true redheads anymore. My grandson hair is auburn. I’m so thankful you are recovering well from your illness. If you ever get to Knoxville, TN I hope we will be able to meet up for a few minutes. I don’t care what your video’s are , I enjoy them.

[@marycarper5634]

Love the auction videos, and looking forward to seeing the wildflowers grow up around the bird feeder ....

[@deborahsewell202]

Omgosh, awesome finds!!

[@elladennis5454]

I love watching your auction videos and especially how excited Chris gets with you too❤

[@diggin-usa3863]

The bottom of a foot on the oldest troll dolls will say DAM on them. Some will say Russ. But dam is the most pricey and favored for a collector.

[@susigraehl2463]

Good luck with your flower garden, you guys are hard workers! 😀

[@johall7728]

Yvonne ….. I love everything you do …any type of video (even paint drying) I would watch….you’re so talented and creative … BUT IF I had to choose one kind of video that you do !!?!? It would be the little Vignettes you do with all your littles ❤️. … I was tickled when you came home with all the small kitchen items …because I knew you would create a little box filled with treasures for displaying ❤

[@tracymaddox8546]

Love watching the auctions. And what is available to bid on. I don't think you were crazy at all. I love in Alabama and it is crazy high here. You have to sell what brings you happiness. I love both of your channels. They bring me joy.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you

[@sharonwilson5489]

You kids could rule the world lol xo

[@vickiulrich6694]

Did you buy that bale of peat Moss this year Yvonne? If so where did you pick it up? I have used that every year along with professional potting soil and Menards didn’t carry either one this year. I am so disappointed but gardening season started so I got whatever I could. Needless to say I wasn’t happy with what I had to settle for. Yvonne…I love ALL our visits…the content is just a bonus. I will say Jack kinda drooled over Chris’s toolbox. He’s never seen one made from that wood. I fell in love with the Oreo pig. I think Chris got quite a nice find in those vintage metal trucks. Paying up is sometimes what happens in the thrifting business. No, I would never be surprised at what you have to bid for things. I’m also not one to talk down a price. If I want it…I pay the price or leave it behind. I know how hard Jacks sister had to fight back when she had mono. It took months so I’m praying for you as you journey back to health. Remember that slow and easy wins the race so pace yourself until you are feeling 100%. Your seed bed is gonna be quite a colorful addition to Taters bird watching…hope he appreciates it as much as Chris will when mowing!!!:):):)

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you so much. The peat moss was left over from last year. But I believe I saw it at our Home Depot again this year. Peat moss is kinda a necessity in a garden. ( well for me) hope you find it

[@sueburt5759]

Yvonne, please tell me why you were in the hospital? I watch you faithfully, but somehow I missed that video. Thank you.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

It a few videos ago… I didn’t post for almost a month 🫤

[@cindygetsfitschaus8097]

The pink scissors, the ridged part is a bottle twister opener. I believe Wiss. Is for Wisconsin?

[@patbarthe1219]

Great haul. Not sure about the Jadeite, but just think....if you bought it to keep, you would have to rearrange your kitchen to fit it in!! Those pink scissors are kitchen shears for cutting veggies, etc and that area you questioned would be to open bottle tops. Looking forward to seeing your blooming wild flower garden😊.

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you

[@shanp8907]

You find the best items at auctions. I love watching yours and Chris’ treasure finds!🙂

[@tammyboyle7362]

Absolutely enjoy both of your channels. Thanks to you both for all the effort and time you put into making these videos ,awesome 😊❤ 🐱

[@aprilsparks8501]

Always so fun to watch all your videos. Thank you!

[@leanne5416]

For the price I’ve seen jadeite go for I don’t think you were crazy at all, I’ve been looking for a salt and pepper shaker LOL- for some reason I just love that look. I think you need to get your Cricut out and make Chris a Tonka sticker for his riding toy 😂😂❤❤❤

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

😂

[@TeresaLuna-xx4ed]

Great haul you guys!❤❤

[@TeresaLuna-xx4ed]

Love those vintage trucks!!❤

[@corazon-be5bx]

I love the auction videos. You got so many lovely things. The blue dog planter ist a cockerspaniel. I love the little barn, all the animals and the little mouse on the leaf. I'm ecited to see your wild flowers in summer. Here in Germany a wild flower meadow is popular also.

[@lesmeyer318]

for opening glass jars with metal lids. Insert jar with lid around the jaggard portion around top ans twist open

[@lesliejackson8188]

*Yvonne, sounded like the winner of the Jadeite bid $4,200 for the entire lot. Coming from an Antique Dealer family, that is NOT too much to spend for that many pieces, even though THAT IS A LOT of MONEY💰 🤑 💸💲 to spend‼️🙉 The cake stand alone is worth $80-$150, of course, depending on the dimensions - and the cannister - another $75-$125 - and if there were any divided large restaurant ware plates, those are about $150-$185 each...so you get the idea, LOL‼️😉❤ I would guess if parcelled out and sold separately, you would be looking at a value of close to $6,000 - IMHO for the entire lot 😁 Of course, who knows how long you would have to sit on that inventory. 🤕* *When I saw the chubby sheep on wheels toy and the brass loving cup trophy from the movie 🎬 club, I knew those pieces would be going home with you. 😉 You have great taste❣️😘😉* *The pink scissors ✂️ 💗 are kitchen shears from the early 1980's...and they were mainly designed for cutting and deboning chickens, pork chops, ribs and other meats. 🍗🍖🥩 The center grips are for opening pickle, jelly and other stubborn jars. 🤣* *What a GREAT VIDEO...I really enjoyed the gardening segment, as well as Tater, 🐈‍⬛ the Superintendent, LOL❣️😁*

[@GingerChickRehabTheJourney]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

[@ritahall8653]

Great picks

[@DeniseBryson65]

Y’all always find the coolest goodies ❤❤❤

[@Missieykay]

That was fun to see what you got at the auction.

[@terrihart2133]

Fun video. You got some really fun pieces. Hope you continue to feel better. Thanks for sharing. 🎉

[@tlur8813]

Wow!!!! Great finds!

[@pattylevine_oohilovethat]

There is an estate sale by me in New Jersey that has a ton of metal trucks this week. I thought of Chris.
