“Anyone who thinks that gardening begins in the Spring and ends in the Fall is missing the best part of the whole year; for gardening begins in January with the dream.” -Josephine Nuese
Welcome to the first garden tour of 2023! I make a garden tour every month last year and LOVED the fact that I have a record of what my garden looked like month by month. I am planning to continue with the tradition starting off with January! 🌷 Enjoy!
🌿 UPDATE! I now have an Amazon Store where all amazon available products will be located! Looking for a link to my greenhouse? It’s here! Looking for those books I recommended? It’s here too! It’s ALMOST as fun as going to the plant store! 😉

Looks well tended!! Every gardeners' dream. Job well done.
Hi Janey my friend 🌺 what abeautiful tour of your garden it looks wonderful in january . Janey you can plant magnolia in place the birch tree and there is near the three beds flowers pot for cables cover you can put from above with water and more stones bulbs . Have anice day 🌻🌷🌻
Happy MG class day, I said that yesterday, all week I thought Wed was Thursday, Thursday Friday. I now know Friday is Friday 🙄
Ya know in the 40 yrs I've been gardening I never thought about bulbs having different bloom times. I planted a huge mix of everything around my sign post, turned into the happiest accident ever, I had blooms for weeks coming and going, your swoop will be stunning.
Seconding a suggestion for a clematis for your trellis!
I’m new so you may have mentioned it before but what master gardener course did you take?
It’s going to be beautiful in Spring Janey 🥰
Hi Janey, love the tour today! All your garden rooms are looking so pretty and everything is thriving. The area where you removed the bush beside the arch, what about a miniature Japanese maple there? Do those do well in your zone?
Can’t wait to see all the tulips come up, I know they will be beautiful! Thanks for sharing today, hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I live in zone 9b south Texas and my mason bees absolutely love dry bamboo plant stakes as well as driftwood that we get from the beach. I have never had to get a bee house because they make Swiss cheese from these to woods😆and they always are in the garden if you add those. Love your garden. Have a blessed day
We have a plumbago that just can’t be stopped 😂 so I fully understand!
Did your Husband make your window box? If not we’re did you get it from? It look like a 6 foot window box and that’s what I need
Interesting to see a Californian garden in Springtime with plants that are familiar to us in the UK. If you really want to create an established look of an English garden I can recommend the "English Nursery Garden" / "Plantsmans Corner" series on YouTube by the professional RHS trained English grower, Malcolm Holkham, from his famous nursery and Eggleston Gardens in the North of England. He's very popular with American audiences and extremely knowledgeable. Here's wishing you a successful growing season 2023! PS. excuse his sometimes "ripe" language and English humour!!
If you had the few weeks of cool to colder weather that your garden dirt is not use to and you happen to have an odd bulb left behind from last year it will come back as that is long enough for them. It may just send out leaves or if there is enough warm sun and the temp goes down at night then it may bloom for you. At the end of the growing season one of the thing you could do the fallen leaves is run a mower over a pile and then put it in the raised garden beds, mix with blood meal for quicker breakdown. Leave over the winter and by the later winter to very early spring you will have good compost. Anyways enjoy the gardens and have a wonderful rest of your day.
Janey, your enthusiasm is so uplifting! Just what I need this morning, If you are thinking about more adding roses do yourself a favor and check out the David Austin website. They are selling out fast but still have some good ones left. Bare root/own root are 32.00, you will have a larger rose bush this yr than what you will have if you order from Heirloom. I have bought most of my roses through Heirloom over the yrs but lets face it, they take about 3 yrs to really come into their own. They do have great roses but they are young and small. In addition Heirloom offers a one yr warranty, D.A. has a 5 yr warranty. I'm not sure if you watch the Rose Geek youtube videos but Kimberly knows her stuff and can teach you a lot about every aspect of roses, she's fun! Also Jason at Frasier Vly Rose Farm is really worth checking out, they are both very accessible and respond to any and all questions. All your hardwork will make for a stunning display this spring and summer, I can't wait to see it unfold!!
I enjoy your gardening videos so much! I’m also in Northern California so your videos are a great reference source for me.
Hi Janie, how about plant a rose in the plumbago hole, roses can tolerate cal heat. your garden is gorgeous!😊
It’s is going to be like Christmas when those surprise bulbs start to bloom. So excited. My tulips are starting to come up as well.
Janey dutchsinse just put out a video that says in a week or so the west coast will have storms again
Hi Janey, i had a bee hotel similar to yours and was telling viewers that after 3 years I had still had no visitors and someone told me bee hotels have to be at least 6” deep so I googled and it was confirmed. You do have one hole filled though so you’ve had more luck than I did. Looking forward to seeing your fairy 🧚♀️ garden. Love your videos, I don’t often comment as I watch on my TV, but I always watch and am particularly enjoying your Master Gardener recaps. Wishing you a lovely weekend ❤
The Plumbago plant would be beautiful behind your new white bench in the backyard, unless there is not enough sunlight in that space.
I love the quote you put there… I too have big dreams for my garden. Thank you for the inspiration ♥️
The oak tree could do with a cut
You need to get a "Garden Marker" It won't wash out in the sun or rain!
Have you thought about going ahead & pruning the lamb's ear in Fall?
I got double pink mix tulips last year, not planted until this year…they were all squishy when they arrived, I was so peeved about it, was really looking forward to them
Naked lady lily in our area is what we call suprise lilies. My grandmother use to say suprise no lillies. Looking back they probably needed to be separated. Ofcourse when she past I dug up everything in her yard and now lives in my yard.
I have a birch tree that is leaning pretty significantly but isnt interfering with anything around it. Do you think it should be removed?
You should definitely plant a Josephine clematis 😊
I would watch those vincas. Mine don’t come back from the original plant in zone 8b, they reseed PROLIFICALLY. You plant 10, you get back 100. Good thing they are beautiful!
If you plant African Blue Basil and Bluebeard Caryopteris , you will have a ton of mason bees. I don’t worry about housing them.
They seem to get their own. I do have clay soil. I tried one of those bee houses and they never came to it.
Hi hun your front yard look fantastic! As far as the mason bees goes….Your mason bee tubes are too shallow! They prefer the tubes longer around 6 inches! But thats cool that a bee made a neat there. Try Crown Bees for all your mason bee supplies! They have awesome learning videos as well!
Peonies!! How are you growing those in your zone?? I had a beautiful peony when I lived in Nashville, but I didn’t think I could in my zone 9b South Louisiana. Is it a specific variety or do you have a special knack??
Thanks for the tour! How glorious has the weather been this last week. Thanks for the arborist tip. I have 10+ very large trees that gave me quite the scare during those major storms. I really want a professional to look and tell me how they are doing.
I have 3 Vinca. Faith in planting I agree. We will see 😊 if it comes back.
Art line Garden Markers from Amazon are great for labelling and the ink does not come off. If you use on plastic labels you can just soak them in nail varnish remover and it comes off.
u should do jacaranda tree or tabebuia tree
So exciting to see everything popping up in your . If you can grow Ranunculus in zone 9b…I should be able to do it in 8a. I have been unsuccessful for the past 2 seasons. If I can't get ot right this year…no more Ranunculus!! I feel like we go from cool to hot so quickly that they don't appreciate that.
Can't wait to see how beautiful your garden will look, looks nice now, better than mine lol
What kind of pavers are those in your front garden bed?
Hi Janey, I liked your garden tour ! It was very interesting ang helpful! Wishing you a successful growing season 2023!
