I have a gopher story for you. My MIL lived in Oklahoma City in the country. She lived alone, and as her dementia got worse, she had to leave her home and be with family in another state. She used to say she heard noises in the bathroom wall, and that her bathroom wall was almost damp. The house was vacant for several months until family put it on the market to sell. The house was cleaned and empty, and ready to sell. A young man purchased the house, and before closing, he did a final walk through with the realtor, where everything was fine. He signed the papers, got the keys and went back to the house. As he walked by the bathroom, he was shocked to see a hole in the bathroom wall with dirt all over the floor. A gopher tunneled under the house, which was built on a slab. There was not concrete around the shower drain under the tub, so he came up through the space, got inside the wall, and scratched or dug his way through the drywall and into the house. The family paid for repairs to the bathroom and the buyer agreed to get rid of the gophers. It was unbelievable, that was a very strange call to get from the realtor. And the poor buyer! I promise the story is 100% true.

I use gopher gassers to kill those monsters. You can buy them @ Home Depot or Lowe's. Go out early in the morning and look for the newest mound. It will have a horse shoe shaped indentation on the top. Go 6-12" & probe the dirt, you will feel the probe release and you are into the runner. Dig a small hole, light the gasser & put it in the runner. Cover the hole and the smoke will kill the gopher. You will have to work fast because the gopher will be trying to cover it the entrance of the runner. The next morning go out and check & treat again as needed. Your garden is looking amazing and you have accomplished so many things in 1 year, especially with a broken foot.

I can't believe no one's ever mentioned it but your front yard is a leech field. The big flat Rock covers your access point to your holding tank. The last thing you ever want to do is put a watering system or sprinklers on top of your leach field or any kind of plant that has long extending roots. Just trying to warn you before your back feel your septic.

Janey, your zig zag planter is looking STUNNING!!! We live in a valley against the north side of the rocky mountains, amending with cardboard and compost has been saving us for sure! Our soil is chock FULL of shale, iron heavy, and impossible to dig without an auger. But it's incredibly nutrient-rich, so no-dig amending for the win!

Silver bush morning glory (Convolvulus cneorum) blooms once per year from spring to early summer, at the same time as your star jasmine. The rest of the year, it's a fantastic foliage plant that can withstand the most brutal heat. I grow them in here Las Vegas, where today's high will be 117! Over time, it will develop a woody understructure and deep blue-green foliage on the older parts of the plant with metallic-silver new growth frosting the tips. Your patience will be rewarded with a truly gorgeous display next year and I can't wait to see your reaction!

About the Gardenmeister Fuchsia, I live 10 miles west of Dallas/ Fort Worth in hot, hot, sticky, humid Texas. And when I have put plants in a spot where they are scorching because they need a little extra shade, I cover them with these black crates I have that only allow half the sun that they've been getting till I can move them to a better location and they can stabilize more. They still get the breeze and pollinators. Maybe this can will help.

Regarding the compost wow, just wow! Roots and Refuge just did a similar video but hers were a comparison on four Greenstalks.

This information is so important to me, the home gardener, and I appreciate your investment AND taking the time to show us the impact of proper amending or lack of it.

Photinia is a fast growing large full hedge that we used for a similar area, like your front fence. I used to not like them, but now I changed my mind. Bought them for convenience, and they look gorgeous amongst all the other plants, and they are incredibly hearty, get huge, prune well, etc. We pruned some into bulbous lollipop trees and they look great, too.

@julesdavis1845 Күн бұрын

Have you studied planting for sound barriers? If you plant between your road and fence, think in threes, three layers. Shortest near the sound. Mid height next then tallest next to your fence. Your happy purple fountain grasses = short. Then something a little taller for mid height, then your tallest choice. This is a technique that’s quite effective for noise reduction, allowing you freedom to plant other choices inside the fence. When you add the meandering additional pathway, consider a water trickling water feature in the crux of the joining pathways, or at least between the path and your fence. With a sound softening planting, a new fence and soft shushing water spray, trickling sounds, you could experience that part of your garden in a whole new way. Good luck.

Janey, your garden looks awesome! Question: have you considered eventually having the driveway next to the orchard and in front of the zig-zag planters removed? It seems like a lot of driveway and I bet it would look so much more natural and lush if you planned to remove that part eventually. I know cost is a consideration, but I also think you’re very good at thinking about long-term goals. You and Jason should be so proud of what you’ve already accomplished in less than a year! 😮

No roots. Now I’m convinced it wasn’t anything I did wrong it was a gopher! I’m glad to know it wasn’t me but they are so frustrating!

The garden is simply beautiful! Love the zig-zag planter colors...really cool things off in the hot weather. And those heliotrope!! But, I also love those saturated colors...blues with oranges and that lemon coral sedum...wow!!! I wanted to suggest a plant that I love...Agastache 'Blue Boa " combines well with all colors and has fluffy violet-blue spires that bees and butterflies just love. And the foliage smells like minty root beer. And I can smell the wonderful flowers of verbena lilacina! Another nice Salvia to try is "African Sky" with sky blue flowers and fresh green leaves...new in nurseries this year (found in New Zealand!). Hopefully, Brian and Cruickshanks will be gopher hunters!! In San Francisco, I plant everything in gopher baskets (I buy them wholesale!) Janey, how did your bearded iris do for you earlier this year? Also, can you plant alstroemeria in any of your half-sun areas? Or would those work better for you in containers with drip lines? Thank you for the tour!!! Keep cool!!!

I'm growing an annual that's perfect for your "Black and White" garden - - Zulu Prince Daisy. White petals surround a black center with a narrow orange ring. I bought the seeds from Siskiyou Seeds and started them under lights in late winter. I moved the tiny seedlings to the garden nearly 2 month ago and they've been blooming ever since. Planted in full sun with sporadic water, they are surviving our nasty heat (Zone 9B, Davis CA). It would be great if they self seed, but I'll have to wait and see about that.

I live in Angwin, CA…( Napa county hills) I believe it’s Zone 9 also…I have a very small full sun garden! But the rodents are voles. They have eaten veggies, zinnias and everything I’ve planted except lavender, allium and salvia. 👎my yard is part of a larger area full of rodents so I don’t think I can kill them. I did plant a fig tree, and I do have an orange rose bush in a container…and some ageratum( lily of the Nile?) I love your yard and it’s fun to have found you❤️I did have a cat and didn’t notice the voles until she died, but my landlord says no pets, so I can’t replace her.❤️👎oh, and Shasta daisies have been growing there too….I love to add gazanias here and there for color, but the voles do eat them too….i haven’t been able to grow lantana or verbena…i dont know WHY..it just dies. It just must get too much water, because my huge lavender plants do get a lot of water.I’ve also unsuccessfully tried jasmine…don’t know what I do wrong? Maybe it’s just too hot.my apartment faces south.

I live in San Diego Calif. For your front fence for street noise plant Tacoma cape honey suckle! It attracts humming birds and other birds it has a beautiful orange flower and grows extremely fast it gets at least 10ft tall or more and can be controlled easily! It’s a perfect hedge plant, great for privacy and it will be a beautiful green back drop to your garden instead of the fence it looks beautiful if you want to keep it shaped into a hedge form or it can be left Willy hilly but looks better if more formed, it’s somewhat like Esperanza but more compact, Esperanza is more lacy. Just a suggestion😉
