Wow! What a transformation the path and trees make! Look forward to the next planting. ❤M
Don't apologize for anything, I learn something every time I watch your gardening adventures. I love your enthusiasm, it is rubbing of on me. Thank you!
I love watching the tree planting and the big impact it has on that particular space.
Well done..
Hi Janey, why you plant those plants some where else? If they are perennial ❤
So nice to see some vertical interest coming into the garden! So excited to see the island come to life! 😍🌳
Love the planting and transformation!
If you don’t have a professional master plan drawing, I use graph paper and measure and drawing a very rough sketch. It suffices if you are just reworking an area in your garden. Wouldn’t be ideal for creating an entire landscape from scratch. I do love how Monty wants to help. 😊
I always thought that the hard-scape would have to be done first. Then the fun stuff, the plants. Doing a nice job 👍
We love watching y’all plant trees y’all are doing an amazing job!👍🏼👍🏼
I love seeing you plant trees. They are the most permanent parts of your garden so thank you for including us in the planting. ❤🌿
Love this variety of tree and shrub form, too!! ❤
Wow! Those are going to be stunning! Love how you teach us all the things!
I love these videos!! It’s amazing to see the transformation just a couple of trees brings. I’m just seeing this on the video and it looks amazing, it must be even better in person. I’m really starting to be able to see what that center island is going to look like. Amazing!
I appreciate your clear and concise explanations of the use of support poles AND of how to use these two measuring tools! I feel like I can put away the graph paper at last!!!
The trees flanking the walkway look awesome!
The spider is appreciating and approving your plan. 😀
Wow it was very interesting to see how you use those rulers to measure out your garden spaces. Thanks for sharing.😊
This will be amazing! I can't wait until this all comes together but I am so, so enjoying the planting of everything. The canopy in your yard in years to come will be amazingly beautiful!
That will look amazing!
What a huge impact those trees make to the center island!
I love watching the tree planting! More "bones" added to the garden!
Those crape myrtles will be a beautiful, welcoming entry to the path.
Were you able to save any zinnia flowers from the plants you composted?
Is Monty a paid employee now??
Monty found the shade that the table made!❤
Love how he wants to be involved!
And the pots that the trees came in….oh man! I'd love to have those! Great for large indoor plants!😉
Janey, I will never get tired of you planting anything! Instant visual change! And we get to see the plan come together. ❤😊
Really appreciate seeing how you reference the master plan. I was wondering if you were following the plan or just eyeballing it.
I don't know how Janey managed before Monty came along. He's such a good superviser.
Thanks!
I love watching you plant trees! And man that pathway and the trees makes such a difference in your garden! I love it!
Janey, this video is so valuable! I learned a lot about how to accurately plan on paper. I bought the green stencil awhile back and never took the time to learn how to use it. Game changer! Thank you for sharing!
No ones complaining about tree planting videos.,.we're all learning something, never knew about some of those things about planting trees, thanks for the info.
You can’t have too many trees (or tree planting videos) keep them coming! 🙌
Q & A question!
Have you considered having the previous owners of the property come for a visit to see what you’ve done with the place? I’m sure they’d be very impressed since they knew the “before” so intimately.
As someone who uses plans all the time, a little trick I use, is to take one of the plans (make a copy of the untouched one at your local printer) and cut each section up so that you can photocopy it as many times as you like onto a regular sized sheet of paper that you can carry around on a clip board with a pen or pencil attached. You can also blow up each section to double the size so that you can scribble notes on it at 1/4" scale rather than 1/8" scale to make it a bit easier to write the notes.
Great additions to your garden.
Just curious why thr crape Myrtle’s weren’t also planted the same distance from the driveway?
Didn’t you tell us the soil there was not good?
Whoa Janey! This was educational!!! I'm moving to my Daughter's property and there's lots of yard. THANK YOU TWO!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great tutorial on the measuring tools. It made sense. Keep the tree planting videos coming.
I love watching your videos and your Californian garden. Your sunny personality and the sunny weather always cheers me up after peering outside at my damp and miserable garden. One thing that surprised me, though, was how high you tied the trees to their stakes. I remember being taught to tie them lower down, which allows the trees to wave about in the wind, supposedly strengthening their trunks. Still, it all sounds a bit theoretical !
No, I am not tired of watching you plant trees. 😊
Really made a big difference and it helps to visualize your plan.
Also, just wanted to mention that I miss your Monday cut flower arranging! And, Saturday coffee talks!
I love tree planting videos! I need the tips and trick, so I can plant in my yard. Keep it coming!
Janey and Jason, I would suggest another size of pathway you are designing. You need to make the pathway 5 ft. wide. The reason being you will be able to work the flower beds easier by moving your cart with plants, gardening tools and plants up and down around easier. You won’t be as exhausted and can go right up the middle working each area with ease. I learned the hard way. I don’t want you to have to re-design your garden rooms years later. Years later you will see trees, shrubs and plants need plenty of room to grow. 🦋🌺🐝
Thank you for sharing your detailed planning method and tools! We can feel your JOY, Janey!! 🩷 Dawn (in IL)
I loved this video! You are a natural teacher, and I finally understand how to read the architectural scale ruler. Thank you! I cannot believe how much gardening knowledge you have accrued over the last several years. You are so smart! It really is fascinating to see what is on paper come to life, isn't it? Those crepe myrtles are beautiful, and I look forward to seeing them in bloom. 🥰💐
