Your natural skills, your music, your kind personality, Your faith is a blessing to all❤

Oh my! To have your youth and mobility! Your visions for your garden and your execution of them result in such lovely spaces. I really enjoy watching your videos, and listening to your background songs/music. Thank you for sharing. 🌸

It might be nice to sand the wood slats of your bench and paint the whole bench with a dark forest green Matte or gloss spray paint color. It would blend in with the surroundings and look like a antique park bench.

My sister painted her bench. One year it was red, white and blue and other years it was painted a garden green.

Curb diving... you're speaking my language. I have hauled "tons" of things from the curb, tables, planters etc. etc. etc.. The stories I could tell. lol. I don't go much anymore because I'm downsizing due to disabilities. But it hurts to pass by a pile and not look. :-(. For border rocks I've collected the whitish color limestone. I've had to curb my collecting those too. If I were younger and owned my own home , it would be a whole different story. You and your sis need to get together and have a girls day out to celebrate all the hard great work you 2 did this Summer. Go to lunch and a spa treatment :-)

I love the bigger rocks, looks gorgeous! Now you can go sit on your bench and enjoy your garden. The pea stone made the other areas pop and stand out more. I love it!

I Love the Bigger stones also. You did a Great job. You are really a hard worker Jes.

Hi Jes, You are such an inspiration! I love that you added the bigger rocks and replaced the pea stone. So pretty☺️

Jes your garden is a tapestry of colors and textures! Bonny

A hammock strung between the trees would be so nice to hang out in. I have one and love using it to lay back, watch the birds in the trees, on the feeder, and taking a drink or bath in the bird bath I have nearby.

Hi Jes! I got my daily dose of heaven on earth and I love how you changed out the rock. It really made the areas pop out. So cute how you lined the wood slices with rock and moss. Have you ever thought about painting the bench?

Jes, you should polish it to see. They usually look like that when dry. You can find tips on polishing them online. It would be really cool to see it in its millions of years old glory. Also, they are said to bring luck. You probably know all this all ready, so apologies if you do.?! The garden is looking awesome as always 🌱🌻🌺🌿❤

I'm like the rock changes, and the forest garden. Looking great. Say hello to Chipy the chipmunk. I have 2 outside cats mine are gone. I miss the little fellows 🐿

Jes, such a fantastic movie! Sure wish I had access to rocks like you have. They make such a stunning edging. Looking forward to your next movie! Wishing you, Nate and Max a great weekend! Take care! Cookie in Mandeville Louisiana

There’s a plant that looks like real moss called Sabina Subulata that grows faster and more durable. Irish moss is the green variety,and Scotch Aurea is the yellow- bright green variety.

I love the stone edging along the wood slab path! Replacing the pea gravel with larger stone was perfect !

Love all your videos Jes. I am from Vancouver BC Canada zone 8b. After watching each of your vedios feel like leaving everything and go in my garden. Your natural skills, music is blessing to all. Love❤ all your videos

That definitely looks like a Petosky stone

A fun day in your garden! You got so much done and it looks great!

Everything looks great, love the larger rocks. My back hurts watching you cart all of them. lol

Hi Jes, I have a bench like yours. It was about 20 years old and was falling apart. My stepson replaced the wood, stained the wood and painted the legs and arm rests. It looks awesome! Maybe your husband or brother can do that for you. I love your gardens!

Just found your channel yesterday while looking for a recipe for apple pie filling. I used your recipe for making three pie fillings and freezing them, and it worked out so well! I'm a gardener too, and looking forward to watching more of your videos! Raccoon Alley is beautiful! I just started a new space with two Adirondack chairs as the focal point, and your area has given me some great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

You just have such a sweet and kind soul.

I love, love, LOVE the rockery that you put in today! It's giving me the inspiration to get out and do something with my side yard pathway...🌿 your garden is absolutely beautiful!🌿🍁🍂

It’s not called pea stone, it is call pea gravel. I’m not being sarcastic. I love how energetic and creative you are.

I adore rocks smile love pool plants also gully. Thanks so much😊

Nice work, Jes! I always enjoy your videos! You’re just the sweetest lady! 🤗🌺🌻🌷💐🌸🐞🙏🙏🙏

Ok you’re hired - I penciled you in for next Tuesday @ 9 …….LOL 🥰👍🏻

Love the look of the larger rocks and how the path turned out ❤️ …even though I also love pea stone as well. When we removed our swimming pool last year there was a perfect circular area that already had pea stone layed down. We just added more and layed larger stones around the edges and added steps in the spot where the ground dropped the deepest. Built a fire pit in the center and it looks great 😅 it was a nice transition from pool to fire pit 😊 I must say that I’m feeling a little sad at this moment… haven’t seen a hummingbird in at least 4 days now… And although I planted a few new things this year and am excited to see how they come back and fill in spots next year, im just not ready for the gardening season to come to an end soon 😢

Everything you did today enhanced your beautiful garden making it more beautiful than it already is. Have you considered a sitting area at the top of the hill where you like to sit and look over your garden? Of course it would have to be mow friendly for Nate.

Absolutely beautiful garden...love the rocks you edged the wooden path with and how you put them on their side❤️

Your gardens are gorgeous

The chipmunks and squirrels are sure making a racket, what are they building? 🤔😂🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

I really love the larger rocks. Putting in my garden is a favorite!! Your garden looks amazing!!💕🌸🌸

Looking great!

Looking awesome. Please show us how you gathered moss from your woods for your paths.

I just ❤ your garden!

Your bench and birdbath and the arrangement of shrubs and flowers is a beautiful vignette! We do the same thing in our homes with our arrangement on the mantle etc. Jes you are the queen of vignettes! Enjoy your videos or movies…as you like to say…❤

I got three pots a couple weeks ago picked up from someone side of the road. One was a beautiful ceramic large pot and the other one was a clay pot and the third one is plastic whatever but looks like a fake clay and it’s quite large, so I’m happy with my three new pots for next year - new to me lol.

What a difference the larger rock made. Jess you got so much done. Just amazing what changing a few things does to define your beautiful gardens. Love the way you put the rocks on their sides to accent the log walkway. The one comment about betting you would change out the pee stone the next day made me lol. Great job honey see you in your next movie, have a wonderful weekend 🤗💓💕💞

I get so inspired by all the leaf colors in your garden spaces. I am working on my Hosta and Heuchera collection...I am looking forward to your Heuchera tour!! I wish there was a way to post a picture to you of our baby puppy intently watching your video while sitting on my lap. She just may be my newest gardener's helper. Actually I keep her out of the beds because I don't want her to get into any of the plants that could be toxic. So far she is listening and is never off leash. I can't wait to see what you do with your bench...I am on the hunt for something similar for one of my spaces!!🩷🩷 Thank you for all your hard work providing inspiration for us all!!

Just love your garden strolls..it is absolutely beautiful

Jes, everything you did is wonderful and so creative! I would love to have a drop of your energy! I'm ready for a nap after watching you work so hard! Linda

That is real interesting abt the Petoskey stones, I just quickly googled them. Love all the new rocks and pebble work you have done lately - looking awesome Jes ! Leaves in the garden - small ones or cut up ones make great natural mulch and compost and great for the birds to pick through for bugs and raccoons I guess 😅 I love spike 🐱🐱

From the spots on the rocks that look more wet it looks like a Petoskey😊😊

Gorgeous 🥰

I love those kind of days in the garden as well. Starting out with one project and then accomplishing several more little projects that add up to a great looking garden. Very satisfying and I enjoyed watching you work.

I like the idea of lining the borders with rocks! You give me so many ideas and your viewers also have so many good ideas too! Next year I am using moss too! So pretty and natural looking🍁🍂🌻

You Always have such a beautiful garden God Bless You

Love your creativity… it looks great ❤ so natural 😉

Hello Jes 👋 I like to paint my benches in the garden different colors 🎨

Lovely. You give me inspiration. I've named my area the hill. Yea. There's a bike trail behind my house. Used to be a railroad so I'm the burm

Jes, I thought you may replace those stone. lol yes yes! power wash the bench. get some spray paint and make it a pretty blue like your top. and then put an outdoor pillow on it. that will pop too, you can get some pretty ones at walmart for like 5.00, so pretty. just a thought.. love love all of your rocks and hard scape. Genie :)

Thanks for sharing, I love you and your garden.

Get it wet 😊 I think it is one👍🏼

I have a bench like yours, it was painted white but is now growing moss because I just dont sit on it but Im loving the moss and plan to leave it as is.

everything looks so good! your special touch and vision love it! Genie : )

Love what you did with the pea stone & put your other bigger stones in ! where do you find all those really cool stones to line your paths? they are really cool & sideways too!!

Oh my goodness how beautiful you should really be proud of yourself. Waiting on my song haven’t heard from in a while Judy

Raccoon alley walkway looks awesome! That was a great idea to line it with rocks to define it, and the moss between it looks so neat! I also like that you put the rocks on their side to give it a different look! You are very creative! Love that you put rocks in a circle around those little bushes also. Thanks for sharing Jes !

Your garden is beautiful!

Thanks for the mention Jes, that was exciting! 😁

How does your sister prepare her flower beds for winter? Does she still make things to take to the market for fall and holidays?

maybe power wash the bench then clean with a firm brush and some dish soap or sugar soap then a light sanding and it will be nice and ready to paint or stain. :D

Ok, ok, I’ll make some trips to the lake to find my petosky stone instead of stealing it from my friends yard 😂

I can not get over the transformation of the gully! OMG it’s all coming together Jes👏 oh my gosh ps-I never laughed so hard when you were talking about the “curbside bench”😂

Beautifull outcome..loving it ❤❤❤

Looks great Jes ! 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

Love all of your videos and loved the hosta tour for sure!!! 😊 Can you possibly do a garden tour of all the heuchera and heucherellas as well??

Jess love how lovely your gardens look.Wish I had as much energy as you do. We have had rain for a week and a half. My gardens are covered in weeds and makes me want to hire someone to clean them up.

I love moss

❤Everything looks so good. Lots of work but worth it.

Jes I’ve read so where that buttermilk on moss will make it grow

Looks nice enjoyed

You are so creative❤ looks great!

Looks great Jes

How pretty and peaceful, Jes! I can't wait to get in my garden tomorrow! It's been too long!

Love it Jes. It looks great! 😊♥️

💖🎶

I was just looking up Petoskey stone, it’s giving my trypophobia! ( aversion to sight of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes and bumps)cool looking stone though

I think after the soybeans come off the field next to me I’m going to go rock hunting. Just doing a neighborly thing by picking rock. Right? 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

❤

🇺🇸💚

I hope the raccoon doesn't rearrange all your lovely work!

.

Just buy a new bench

Looks great Jes
