  1. Thank you Jenny! Although I live in southern Arizona in zone 9A without humidity, I love watching you and I love your ideas! Thank you again! Hugs!

  2. Hi Jenny… a timely and inspirational video. I was outside this afternoon in the blazing heat and humidity (Atlanta GA) cleaning up my daylillies! They are so easy to clean up and it does make such a difference. Satisfying pulling on the spent stems and then popping right up! And for sure the dead leaves at the bottom. Makes the beds look brighter!

    I didn’t tough it out as long as you did, but like you said at the end, evening doing one thing helps the garden out!

    Thanks and love your channel

  3. Jenny, I recieved my order today from you, and I am very impressed how well it was packaged!! I will be back ordering from your nursery! My question is , I need to ask you or your nursery a question, how can I ?

  5. I think I am going to take my daylillies down to the ground—the foliage is months old by now, and my hope is that it would push some fresh leaves. Is there a reason why you should not do that?

  6. Jenny! Bonide Stump and Vine Killer is going to be your new best friend. It comes with a brush attached to the cap. Make a cut and paint it on. I had to remove a crape Myrtle that had to go. And you know the suckers they have. Cut and paint quickly. I was told they start to heal over quickly. But no more runners and I would occasionally cut the stump on the main one again and paint again. It completely died. My best friend!🤣😎

  7. Love your videos. You mentioned fertiloam tree and shrub drench, so do you find this helps with sawfly and then Japanese beetles?

  8. Looks like hot, tedious yucky work but it is the truth of gardening and I enjoyed it all. Nice job Jenny 👍👏

  9. Thanks for sharing the bad with the good. Gardening is a work in progress but the hard work sure pays off. My phlox have legs like that too. Wondering what I can do so they don’t get brown on the knees & legs.

  10. Hi Jenny. How about using the Bonide Stump and Vine Killer for that shruby thing? Should work for you.

  11. Thank you so much for these cleanup videos! I’ve learned sooo much and I whack back my perennials like nobody’s business. They do so much better.

  12. Jenny , try Bonida tree and vine killer ! It is the only thing we have found that controls the cursed trumpet vine.

  13. I have a large oak tree trunk that is decaying. It provided a nice hole where I planted chocolate drop coleus but all the rain has developed a large crop of mushrooms to accelerate the decomposition process. There are a ton of flies around it and I hate to water over on that side of the house because I feel “buggy” the rest of the day. I identified with you talking about those caterpillars.

  14. I know round up is super unpopular, but if you cut that woody weed down to 6 inches like you said, then cut a vertical slit down the wood, then hit the wound immediately with round up, you may be able to kill it. Or at least slow it down from returning. I have done this in my own garden and in others that I maintained in the past with great success. At a pesticide credit class I heard a speaker refer to this as the snip and dip method. Snip the plant and dab roundup onto it while the cut is fresh.

  15. Such a timely video Jennie! This time of year, the garden looks tired. We've had so much rain and humidity here in Wisconsin, that plants have been in overdrive, but now looking a bit sad. Time to get out there and clean. Thanks for the inspiration to do so! Pretty hot and humid after big storms last night, and now the sun and near 90 temps, and dew points around 70. But, like you said, just gonna do bit by bit till it cools off some.

  16. After you trim “shoot” off try paining the suckers with Sucker Punch which I found on Amazon. I saw Janey do this with success.
