FLOWER GARDEN TOUR/ Planting more flowers & more cleanup of my overgrown yard

while you have it out to cut up the big branches - take the chainsaw and trim the lower branches of the trees that are staying to help dry out the area and let more light in so everything will get more air and lighter by not holding onto so much damp. It will enable you to rake more easily also.

Hi Jodi, your flower garden is beautiful & when it starts blooming beautiful flowers, it'll be gorgeous!!! Great job! Your Mom's garden is gorgeous & I love her koyi pond is so sweet, I would love one of those in my back yard! You're doing such a great job Jodi. Thanks for sharing & making it real. Love ya! Have a wonderful weekend & you deserve a time to rest & treat yourself! Take care! ❤️☺️🫂🌞🍄🌹🪻🦋

First, yes, I agree with your feeling on outdoor work. It's so hard - and so rewarding and empowering. I will go back to a spot numerous times just to revel in my achievement. You are an inspiration! I am currently spring cleaning my home top to bottom - and you are such a motivation to not bite off too much but also keep up my activity - thank you 😊

Yes your flower garden is absolutely gorgeous, I love love your front yard garden.

The dahlia flower is rich in symbolism and meaning. As the official birth flower for August or sometimes November, it represents elegance, inner strength, change, creativity, and dignity. The dahlia flower also signifies new beginnings, fresh starts, enduring kindness, grace, and commitment to what is good. That sounds like the definition of Jodi. Especially your realization today.

I totally understand what you are saying about doing yard work. I believe , for me anyways, that it's very therapeutic and the joy that you receive watching something grow. You are doing an awesome job and your yard looks beautiful.

I loved your narration on this video!! I had suggested getting a landscaper, but after hearing you, I understand. It is more fulfilling to do it yourself for sure! The yard is looking fabulous!! Congrats

I’m loving the suit 😂 you’re doing such a great job

Hi Jodi, not new but wanted to say…Hello Hello 👋🏻 I just finished painting our foundation, our home is 103 years old. You’re doing a great job! Thanks for taking us to your mom’s, garden is beautiful! ❤

Gosh your moms place is so pretty !

Oh! The flowers are looking great. I wish I could grow peonies. The big, full ones. And dahlia's too.

There must be some kind of commercial grade landscape vacuum. Omg imagine how satisfying that would be 😂

Yea!!! Welcome to the garden club so proud 💜

Jodi, thank you! You approach life with intelligence, humor, and a sense of being enabled to learn. You make me laugh in every video! Many youtubers in the genre of decluttering/ diy , etc. come across differently. Thank you! I love that you are willing to try and to learn!

Hi Jodi! I literally can't believe that there's more yard work to do?! Lol.

Wow it even looks with that suite on 😋

❤ ice cream trips!

Jodi, I enjoy you and your channel so much, you are such a hoot😂😊

Saying “Set back in the 1920’s” so smoothly like we aren’t in our own 20s era right now 😂 I wish we had the fashion of 100 years ago ☺️

All the work you show is so inspirational. It really motivates me to tackle something I’ve been putting off. I tend to make projects into much bigger deals in my head so I end up putting them off. Your message in the video about what you’ve learned about yourself was very wholesome. I like taking your pieces of advice like that and thinking of it as a sort of motherly advice type thing ❤ thank you

I would cut the ash tree down. Love the bee suit!!! Love your flower garden! Keep up the good work! And thank you for sharing with us!!!

Your doing a great job…..your moms Koi pond is beautiful 😊❤️

Thanks for sharing about the goats. You should be super proud of all your work. In your home and now outside. You continue to inspire! ❤

You have a great inspiration, your mums garden is beautiful. I'd take the tree down, especially if you are having all the raised roots in your backyard.

You totally reminded me that I have been wanting to download that game! I love hidden object games. There was one a while back, ....something garden I think. I can't wait to try this one.

Very very pretty. And a lot of work

I’d cut down that tree. The rental next door to me had a couple of trees encroaching on my property and I had to ambush the landlord and make him promise to cut them and kill the roots since my water line is on that side. Back in the day if your water line was compromised it cost about $3k to fix these days neighbors are being quoted $24-30k. Yikes I hope we don’t have to replace ours. I guess the roots seek out water. Anyway great video, you are making wonderful progress. Your mom’s pond is so cool! I have been watching Garden Answers videos on their installation. I have a couple of neighbors with ponds, gorgeous but a lot of work. I used to have a big fountain in one of my two cast iron bathtubs, after a few years, even though it was cool there was too much maintenance so I now have them both filled with dirt and plants. I can’t imagine the work a pond takes. 40 trees! OMG… to quote you….that is a lot. I bet it cools you so much. I have one slow growing apple tree that gives my backyard shade and I am so grateful. I started ripping down some overgrown morning glories because at my age I know I can’t do a yard clean up marathon. Next week my daughter returns to school and I will have my granddaughter every day for 8 hours. I’m looking forward to it. I think I accomplish more when I have less time. 🙂 Thank you Jodi!

Hi Jodi, you're doing an amazing job. I'd suggest using your chainsaw to cut back the low branches of the evergreen tree that are getting in your way. That will really open the area up. Then decide whether you want to keep the White Ash or not. You could always lop the top of the tree each summer to keep it from growing so tall.

I get it. Proud of you and your hard work.

Take the Ash down. It is so close to your house, & with the height that it will get to you don't want to have to deal with the roots, limbs/or tree coming down if they have heavy snow/ice on them. As well as the trees at the shed side of your house. I am NOT being critical, I am speaking from experience. Also, if you know where your sewer pipe is, & if any trees are nearby, find out how the roots of those trees grow, out or down in order to protect the sewer line. If you have trees taken down, have the roots killed off as well so that the possible issues in that area are settled. You are doing such a good job on all of it, & I loved what you shared about how this experience has changed you, etc. I hope that you can continue to work in these areas & have a blast!💞💞

Jodi I forgot to add that we are battling Japanese beetles in Denver too. They first attacked a Creeping Myrtle which I call the grape vine, turned the leaves into lace in a day. Then went after my roses. Some kind soul on NextDoor shared that she accidentally left a citronella candle uncovered in the sun and the beetles flocked to it, dove in and died. Other people concurred. I bought some and yes it works, they hover around then dive in. It looks gross and I usually do the dish soap drop but these candles are working for you all day. some say they are cleaning their candles out with a slotted spoon. I do milky spore in the front yard to kill the beetle grubs but I need to treat the back yard. I bought some neem oil to kill in the back, nontoxic to dogs but I think the milky spore isn’t dangerous to them either. Sorry Jodi, I tend to babble.🙄

Great job Jodi!

i saw that thumbnail and i was like dang! when did she get a pond?! 😂 you're doing good Ms. Jodi!! such an inspiration 💕 and idk if you would like her or not but Garden Answers here on yt has helped me SO much learning how to take care of my outside babies and whatnot :) not to mention her garden is gorrrrrrrrgeous 😍

“I think this is the wrong dirt.” LMAO

❤❤great job Jody 👏

Jodi, it’s amazing how much work you’ve done! Rome wasn’t built in a day so keep going…you’ll get there! Btw I say get rid of the Ash tree.

Jidi, your yard is looking so beautiful, you should be proud. That is the type of project that i love. It is so satisfying. I have played Junes Journey for 3-4 years and enjoy it so much. Not only is the searching fun, but decorating the islands is the best. The artwork in that game is some of the best i have ever seen I vote to cut the ash down, but if you decide to keep it you might want to cut off the lower branches to make it look fuller. Thanks again for another entertaining video. Have a great week. Lana (Mark's wife😏)

We have the really thick landscape material and yes it is really hard to poke through to make hole but here in Florida it is necessary because it does not get cold enough here to kill off the weeds in the winter. We have such a bad weed problem here with the humidity etc. I used the thinner weed fabric for years and it just didn’t work. The weeds were uncontrollable. This year I redid the front landscape with the thick fabric and it working great. The water can get through the thicker fabric. Also it keeps mulch much dryer so the mulch doesn’t break down as fast.

You might want to consider giving all the flowers, pots to, some plant food. That usually gives mine a nice boost!

Love the yard work videos! I vote to remove the tree. It’s so close to the grass and house it’ll be more roots that you may need to remove some day soon.

You are so cute in your bee suit. You have done a beautiful job in your yard. The flowers are beautiful. Your moms garden is gorgeous.

Great video Jodi!❤❤❤❤

You're doing a fantastic job. CUT IT ALL DOWN. I love it all plain, no bushes just the big trees you can't cut down. But get rid of all little trees. Use that chain saw😂😂😂😂

Another great video ❤ it's been great to see how much progress you made Jodi!

I would take the tree out imagine where the roots will be on a fully grown tree. I’ve heard the grow are as high as the tree ! .love watching you I’m from the UK .

I love that you looked up goats 🐐. How fun if it was only 2 hrs.

Omg- where do I start?- you did such a great job pulling all those weeds- sticks and leaves! You're amazing love you're videos...and yes u should be proud of yourself...job well done!

Wow you’re hosta is looking good

Even if you don't get the whole yard done by the end of summer, fall and winter are also great times to get the yard cleaned up too! Are you planning to make the areas you cleaned up into grass again? You created a lot of light with clearing, I bet grass would grow now!

Jodi its definitely coming along. Little by little, every year from now will be easier. As for the tree cut it down. You have plenty you dont want to add to your root problem lol

Hello, hello, hello! I loved what you said about cleaning up and what you've realized about yourself in the process. Your Mom's beds are gorgeous. I would cut that tree down, you have enough! 😅 Thanks again for making me laugh on a Tuesday.

Hey Jodie, chop it down now as it’s near house and in years it could become a problem. You are doing a great job ❤

I’ve been waiting - I’m like ,it’s Tuesday - where’s Jodi ❤

Great job as always Jodi!! :) Your mom's garden is beautiful! I love her koi pond. Thank you for sharing. I watch Garden Answer, here on youtube and she just had a pond put in. It was neat seeing the installation process.

Jodi. Three is a solution that kills Roots. Also just my opinion but it would be feasible to contract to clean out all debris and as many trees as possible because your health and wear and tear on your body means more. Once it is cleared out then you can keep up the yard with less stress. Take care of you for your family. God bless you.

So proud of you💖💖💖

Looks awesome.❤

Amazing job, Jodi!! You are doing great! 💚 Clearing the underbrush will help your backyard dry better and help reduce the gnats and mosquitos in the spring. Your bee suit is the best! No goats... lol! They would've gone for your hastas first anyway. 🙃

I love this, Thank you!

Spider mites took out my dahlias this year. It was so sad. Everything I tried didn’t work. Your little garden is beautiful! Be very careful…gardening is addicting!!!

Well done Jodi! You are def tackling a very tough tough job and I’m glad you are seeing your strength and perseverance! I may be the minority, but I say cut the tree down. You have so many trees as it is and the point is to clear up the unnecessary. 😊

You really have done a great job

So have you started to research what to plant in your garden for Autumn colour?! You're a gardener now Jodi!

I’d take the white ash down. Bonus, less leaves to rake in the fall 😊

Looks good

My husband is highly allergic to poison oak/ivy. He is just now getting over a breakout that covered half of his upper body. Sometimes he has to go get a shot to clear it up. But looks like a great progress in your yard

Great work Jodi! Loving your excitement about your flowers 😍 your mom has a beautiful yard with all her beds❤️ thanks for sharing.

Deadheading means taking the bloom Off at the base of the bloom head.

Great job! I vote keep the ash tree 🌳 Your yard is looking vastly improved, keep up the great work!

I would leave the tree. However, pruning the trees might help open up the back garden.

In Pa the Japanese beetles come around the very end of June to the beginning of July, wreak havoc for about 3 weeks, eat my Basil, then leave.🤬

Well done Jodi you’re doing a great job and should be so proud! Just think how wonderful it will be when you’re done and you can sit back and enjoy the fruit of your labor. 👏🏻🥰 You have an amazing yard!!

You are so fun to watch. You are incredible Jodi💚💚💚💚💚💚 love your moms to

at one time i played that all the time. pogo has a lot of hidden object games

So beautifull !!!!!

Great work! I love the flowers!

So my declutter this week was the car. I have found a number of things I knew was in the car but couldn't find. Right now the rest is waiting for going through and organizing but as I'm waiting for some things to be removed before moving on to the next thing in order on my list. I will keep doing small things to keep the momentum going.

You are doing a wonderful job!

Great job Jodi 👏 👍

I Jodi👋. Sorry I'm late. Yesterday was a full day of canning beans, leftover beef stew and mincemeat. Using a water bath canner takes all day as each of these required 3 hours as meat/ beans ( dry). Then my canning pot acquired a crack that was leaking. Requiring continuous refilling of boiling H2O to keep it working. Which meant there was water leaking out of the bottom of the stove, through and out the warming drawer in the bottom and all over the floor. Lol. Liquid disaster.😆😂 Used every towel I had and a few sheets to soak up that water. which meant extra laundry.🤣 So I couldn't afford to be distracted for any length of time. So. My result =21 jars of food that will be eaten quickly since I don't eat sandwiches. But. No wastage. That dirt needs some plant matter...try mixing in some shredded leaves and well aged compost. Then it will be good too.

Yes, deadhead right below flower. Also, when planting use Espoma bio tone started fertilizer. It’s organic and works wonders. A real game changer. I wouldn’t keep the Ash tree. Emerald Ash borer kills most of them. Not worth letting it grow big to lose it to an invasive. I just lost my Ash tree in my front yard 2 years ago to the Ash borer. Your Moms yard is beautiful and your yard is shaping up every week.😊❤️

When I work in the yard and sweat like a maniac, I always hope and pray that I’m losing some weight!!! Maybe I need to get me one of those bee suits! 😂 Your mom’s yard is beautiful! I love her flowers and especially the waterfalls! The sound of water is so calming to me. I have a small fountain with 3 waterfalls by my front porch. I love to sit on my porch swing and listen to the fountain, watch my bird feeders and read or watch RU-vid videos. I’m team “keep the tree!” The reason is the leaves seem lighter in color so they really stand out.

Awesome job 😊

Wow! I'm proud of you! That is a lot of work!! I can't believe you wore that bee suit the whole time!! I would have stripped it off and sprayed myself down with the hose!! I can't do that much heat!! Roast your butt in there!! 🔥I vote keep that tree and cute down all the other smaller ones and see what it looks like there. Your mom's yard is stunning!!💜

Wow, loads of work! Love the Koi pond!

So happy fro see you today! This video will make my day!! You always make me feel happy and I laugh at your humor! It’s contagious!! Lol

To be honest Jodi I love the back yard it's such a beautiful forest, just cleaning it up like you doing is going to make it look so good, but you need a lot of help. Doing it on your own is exhausting, ask the family and friends to come over for one day, that should help you. Give them a barbecue or as we call it a braai, im sure they will help. 😅

I absolutely love you, you literally make me laugh out loud 😂 Your garden is beautiful

Awesome job. I love your Mom’s gardens. Gorgeous fish pond. I love seeing all the work you get done each week. I would cut the tree down now.

So much progress, and not just on the yard ❤

Good job 👍

Hi Jodi. Your yard is coming along great. I have one tree in my yard a walnut. I hate it,but the squirrels love it. I love the hidden object games. Your mom yard is beautiful.

Jodi you are doing a phenomenal job! You definitely should be proud of yourself! The progress you’ve made is very rewarding! I’m enjoying this journey that you are on! You’ve got this! ❤

Nightshade sticky bits are seeds. Just cut them off. It will be fine.

Your backyard is definitely coming along nicely. I say cut the ash tree.

when i plant in small pots like that i cut the bottome off the pot plant the whole thing in the ground i saw that on ytube

Hi Jodi. Love your flowers, they are all looking gorgeous. I'm impressed with your progress in your backyard. Little by little. Can't wait to see the final results. Thanks again for inviting us into your home/yard. Your the best.

You're doing great Jodi! You're making huge investments in your home and for what it's worth I'm proud of you! Thank you for encouraging me to do the same! I've been decluttering here and there and selling on fb market. I hope to start working on the outside next spring! Hopefully I'll find a pressure washer on clearance this fall/winter 😂❤

Great job again this week! I can't imagine working in a hot bee suit! I vote to keep the tree. I am a believer that if a volunteer tree isn't in the way of something let it grow....you never know when an older tree will fall because of age. Your mom has a beautiful yard too. I would love that pond but, the care they take makes me say no. I hope you have a good week!
