  1. Always plant shade friendly vegetables in shady areas! With the "food shortage" why are you worried about pretty plants? Feed you and the family and learn to hunt! But I'm gonna bet you can't even can that garden!

  2. Going to be gorgeous in that corner area and yes I have always read that you are suppose to enjoy your gardens as much from inside through the windows as outside. The oak tree garden is one of those I literally love and makes me feel like I'm in a park. It has mini hostas up to the tree, astilbes on the front corners, a mass planting of the sure fire red begonias and in the background behind the tree I have a beautiful drift of reblooming yellow day Lillies. My husband who passed away in fall of 2020 loved red flowers and you can easily see that garden from our bedroom so he loved looking at that garden. He started to get more disabled with his ability to walk so he spent a lot of time enjoying that garden. We live on a large corner lot right in town so I would take him in the car and drive around the corner so he could see the entire yard and all the gardens I do each year since he couldn't walk that much later on I also have a white bird bath in that garden and a beautiful statue of a young boy with his dog.

  3. Wonderful tour!!! I was wondering if it is worth creating temporary sun protection over your two metal stock tanks? It seems like a nice spot for the tanks in your yard, although is it holding in too much heat for plants to flourish, especially in the peak of summer in California?

  4. Bunnies cannot take any outdoor heat. They will dig a hole and you won't be able to find her. I found out the wrong way.

  5. Clicked for the bunny! I know Nor Cal/Davis is super Ag, since I grew up there, so I learned only as an adult what EXCELLENT house-pets rabbits are (especially after spay/neuter) as an adult, when my sister got one and then moved in with me. Lizzie (Elizabeth Bunnet) slept in her custom hutch in the living room, and stayed in there (or with a larger pen around it) when she was home alone, but when we were home, she loved to come check out what was up on the couch and get some pets, get zoomies running around the living room rug, or explore new baskets, boxes, or her tunnel. She didn’t like the laminate floor much, so we never had to worry about her sneaking into our bedrooms to play her favorite game (“under”). Buns are the perfect apartment pet. She died this year at the ripe age of probably 14!

    I am sure Hermione will befriend the cat, if not the dog too, because they are social animals and like being bonded with a best friend or two besides their people. But if you decided to get a bun friend for her, check out any local bun rescues. Rabbits multiply like well, rabbits, so there are always too many buns out there. The rabbit rescues tend to know a lot about the buns they take in, about their different personalities or temperaments, medical needs, etc, and my local rescue offers “bunny matchmaking/dating” to help owners with pair bonding their existing bun, which can be challenging to DIY! They also have really affordable boarding for when we travelled and an excellent shop with several types of farm fresh hay, way better and cheaper than the pet store stuff!

  6. Thank you for the reminder that everything doesn't have to be perfect!! I'm an OCD perfectionist and a new gardener, so learning that has been a challenge!! Thank you for sharing your gardening journey with us!!

  7. It was your honeysuckle that brought you to me. I am thankful you put that honeysuckle on “Garden Answer”. What a treasure you and your channel are.

  8. Hi. Janie, I think those bugs on your milk weed are butterfly eggs 🦋. What I do when I find a lot of ants is mix Borax and sugar in a jar I keep on hands at all time. When I see the mounds are a lot of ant I sprinkle this mixture around. I hope that's helpful

  9. 😍 Love your idea for the corner garden bed. Can hardly wait to see it. Your backyard looks beautiful 😍

  10. REALLY LOVE YOUR BUNNY I RAISED ONE HUNDRED BUNNY'S JUST FOR PETS LOVE THEM THIS WAS 1970 ON MY GRANDMA'S FARM

  11. Just love your channel so much! I really appreciate your authenticity and show casing the relatable realities of gardening. So refreshing and encouraging. Can’t wait to see how your space continues to evolve!

  12. Start smashing the aphids, they will take over and destroy everything. I made the mistake and now it’s out of control. Once they take over butterflies won’t lay eggs on it. No pesticides and don’t spray with water or the Caterpillar or eggs will fall off. I had beautiful milkweed and I bought a new one from a nursery and on one leaf underneath it had aphids. Within two weeks my plants are completely covered in aphids and milkweed bugs along with ants.

  13. Thank you for the beautiful plant pot girls, it’s absolutely beautiful…. I love it ❤️💛💙🧡💜💚🙏🏼💐🙏🏼💐

  14. In your shade garden area, do a container garden, that way you can try different things to see what works there and it’s easy to switch things up!

    The climbing rose idea is good too!

  15. Oh Janey that bunny!! So cute! Happy birthday to your girl! My youngest also turned 9 this summer ☀️ I love the idea of the roses and trellis on your fence with the bench and limelight pots! 😍

  16. The bunny is so cute!!! 😃 Love your tours and how everything is evolving. You have so many gorgeous plants! I have watched the progress since you planted them and I feel happy for you. There are always some that suffer more. They would either reboud or die, there is nothing we can do about it 😡😪 I am sure your honeysuckle will bounce back. As to the milkweed, alphids! I have several milkweed plants and they get aphids all the time. They take over them, but I just let them be as they won't harm the plant. Monarchs don't really care. If you want, you can run your fingers along the leaves and squish them. Try to kill all of them though as they are asexual and will quickly reproduce. 😜

  17. For the ballet slippers: Im zone 10a, but i have one about three years old, and i wish i put it somewhere else because of how big it got. Hopefully before you plant it, Put it in an area that has lots of soil moisture, It will LOVE it! so if you have an area that you find the soil stays wetter choose that, mine also is about 4 feet tall now, and It may make you want to put it somewhere else than the front of the flower bed just because of it, it also is probably 3 feet wide. Its a bit like a clematis in that it likes its feet in the shade and its head in the sun.. Just wanted to tell you in case you change your mind or didn't know as im a pretty similar zone to you, and it may help! but you also know your garden better than anyone☺

  18. Check out Jes on Youtube and especially the video of her sister's cut flower garden. I thought about you and the new land that you are going to be planting. FYI the Summerific hibiscus get pretty big. This was my first year with mine and I was surprised how big it grew.( OOPS! Just watched your Monday plant video and saw that you already got this memo!) I think you picked a good spot for it . I love your videos and garden and I have learned so much!!

  19. Your garden is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! This year I grew squash vertically following next level gardening and, holy cow, I will never grow squash any other way. I have four squash in a four sqft area and no problems of pests or fungus. That’s saying something in my zone 7b Virginia humidity!
