Armadillos! …. sounds like they make problems like moles….never knew that living here in Indiana!. Hope they solve your problems.
❤ 😍
Just a heads up, Bakers Creek is donating 100% of seed sells today and tomorrow to hurricane relief in case anyone wants more seeds this would be a great time to buy them 🙂
I had a possum on the back porch last night eating the cat food LOL!
Thanks Amanda and good luck with your Solar Repellant. My husband has one that's called a 22.
Im also a messy gardener … Me cleaning up is never ending.
Back porch….you need to make a pretty seating area so you can sit and enjoy your hard work. Maybe make a spot elsewhere for your gardening items? Lol. I thought I was a messt gardener. I think you win.
Funny, it looks like my carport garden, work area looked like three days ago!!! I filled a large garbage bin with stuff I decided I really didn't need to keep saving! Everything is now organized and looks so nice!!!! Its still in the low 100's in the low AZ desert so it is a little easier to work outside now. One more week we are being told for these temps! Great video!!!! Thanks. I love all my Ryobi tools! They aren't to heavy for my arthritis ridden hands to use so I can continue gardening!

👋
Looks good. Good luck with the armadillos!
Looks like arch is providing some shade?
Wish my seedlings would grow like yours….maybe one day will figure out the magic touch!
🦖
I love your beautiful pots!
Looks great. I smiled when you said that you are cleaning the Patio. I think removing a lot of the pieces will help you with that area. ☺️
Do you have a link to the repellent stakes?
🤩🤩🤩
🤩 I got my elephant ears from TSC and put two in large pots under my Crepe Myrtle’s and a third in the ground. The two in pots bloomed like crazy in September 😍 I am leaving the one in the ground to winter over as an experiment the other two I’m trying to decide when to stop watering. I wanted to grow the big leafed ones so I could make cement molds for a water feature but didn’t get to it this year. Maybe next year. ❤
I've had bulbs in pots before and mine have mostly rotted. Have you considered checking one or two of your pots to see how your bulbs are doing? I know that heartbreak when I plan for a nice spring show, and I get just about nothing.
My husband cleared "ME" a spot in our carport and I can hardly get in it because of all his garden train stuff he's storing as he finishes "phase 2" of the garden train he's installing.
I wish I could claim the mess.😂😂
I was gone the majority of September. I had a lot of catching up to do. I was cleaning up and weed eating my side yard and I could smell something. I found a burrow and whatever was digging in my yard was deceased inside that hole. Fortunately I also have a big pile of wood chips I was planning to dump in that area and will stuff some dirt and wood chips down the hole first. I knew something was up because one of my cats had that smell on him. YUCK!!!!!
🤩🤩🤩….I am cleaning out pots too. Getting ready for cooler weather..🌹
🤩
I've not heard of armadillo issues in UK but I do have squirrels coming and helping themselves to my bulbs 🙄🐿️
I'm also trying to reduced the number of pots but just bought a selection of stone and terracotta pots from Facebook – only £40 for about 10 of them absolute bargain I just couldn't resist – now I have to plant into them 🥴🙄🌿😆🌷🌺🏵️🌸🌻🌼 much cooler here now we're definitely entering autumn 🍂🌿🍃
❤
Hi Amanda 😊. If you do get rid of pots could I come get them? I’m a little over an hour from you and you have shown me so much already. This is my first year growing vegetables and flowers really. It’s so expensive getting started.
The porch looks great!😊❤
🤩
creativity and gardening go hand in hand! It gets done! Thank you~!
Your porch looks great! I hope the armadillo clears out!
I hope the solar repellent works to get rid of your armadillos.
Sometimes just staining the wooden cabinet or painting it with an outdoor weather-resistant paint makes the biggest difference in giving a space structure and organization.
Hi Amanda, that is one of the main reasons I love your videos you show everything!!! Thank you
That looked like a lot of work, but so worth it after seeing how much added work space you gained. I'll be interested in how the solar repellant stakes work. I have squirrels and moles that I need to go away in my gardens.
🙂🌷
Does it say anything on the repellent about squirrels? They can be so destructive! I think sometimes they did up my pots to bury their pecans and acorns. They also chew up furniture! They are all named Rocky. 😜
