Love your raccoon sign.

I love how you whisper words you don’t want to say out loud! Always makes me smile,

Nice raccoon sign, those O’s made me think of the eyeballs emoji, love the birdhouses too. Nice to see a big family stayed close. Glad you didn’t mess with those bees, a couple years ago, my brother accidentally hit a stump in the yard, a bunch of bees came flying out. They chased him as he went as fast as he could on his mower. Unfortunately, he couldn’t out run them and he got stung.

I try to protect pollinators, but ground bees are very mean, so I would suggest you wait until they are in their hive at night and spray them.

great day! glad u didn't get stung!

I love that you share your family events, gifts and etc with us. Your gardens look beautiful.

Thanks for sharing your time with us Jes! I always tell my gardening friends about how colorful your garden beds are even without annuals. If I had more shade I would certainly try to do a bed such as yours.❤

Love the sign. Oh those bees can be mean if we disturb them. Love the begonia. Have a great day Jes.

I would like to suggest two plants that you may like for your garden. 1. Solomon’s Seal. It grows in a arch about three feet tall, has little white flowers in the spring, the leaf is pretty all summer I thing. It likes shade. 2. Bloodroot. This is a native plant. Comes up in the spring as a white flower, sort of like a carnation. Then the leaf comes up after the flower and is very pretty throughout the summer. Likes the shade, will tolerate some sun. It gets it name from when you break the stem it will bleed. It is said that the Indians used it for dye and paint on skin. I love your gardens. I have gone back to the beginning as I wanted to see how you created them. I’m 79 and used to have extensive gardens, now take care of church memorial garden and have a small space at our condo that I garden. But my shady part is full of hostas and ferns. Love watching your creations.

Looks like you have so much fun with your family 😀 Love your garden🌸🏵🌺🌼🌻

Love the sign. It's a sweet thought. Hand made gifts are better than a purchased one. Have you and Nate ever set out a trail cam to see what critters roam your area at night and even some days? Bees won't bother you much as long as you're not swatting at them. I have wasps around my outdoor faucet and porch. I just ignore them and move around in another direction. This time of year is great because all the flowers look lush and beautiful. Makes all the work seem worthwhile. p.s. I love your gold shirt.. Gold & white paired in the Summer is so classic and cheery.

Those bee nests can be really bad. So glad you didn't get stung. You did a good job on the gift for your brother. He will love it. Loved your pretty yellow top!!!

🇺🇸💚

You did a great job on your brothers sign. He's going to love it ❤ The Heucheras looked beautiful in the pea gravel showed up so nice. I've been wanting to put some pea gravel down in my gardens. It sure adds interest to the garden I love yours❤ 😊hope Kenny's party was a success and that he was surprised. Happy birthday, Kenny 🎉🎈🥳😊❤ loved hanging out with you so until next time God's blessings 😊❤have a blessed day 😊oh and those yellow jackets those are a bear. We've had 3 bunches of those this year and they sure will sting ya. Bee careful out there

Such a beautiful wood for such a special gift. Well Jes.❤

Enjoyed

You have sooo many great ideas for your gardens !! I love what you have done!!! I want to do what you did with hosta's I need to get more different ones.!! I love the sign you made for your brother.

The bees will leave late in the evening to go to sleep so that would be the best time to finish planting over there.

Your garden is sooo beautiful ❤. I get so many ideas from you. I definitely learned to divide plants. Yay free plants.

Hi, Jes! I thought to myself that you looked like a sweet honey bee at the beginning of the video with your pretty yellow shirt and those big sunglasses.🥰 Then the bees happened and you mentioned My Girl. That movie is the stuff of nightmares! I was told that I may be allergic to bee stings when I was in high school. I always think of that movie when I’m around bees. They don’t bother me in my garden because they’re so busy themselves.

love your videos! I love moving things around in my garden as well! it makes me feel like I'm plant shopping except for free! :)

Thank you Jes. Your sign turned out really cute. 🌺💚🙃

Your sign turned out great! Those yellow jackets are nasty bees. Just had a nest in my garden. Love watching your movies you are so charming.

Just planted a black stem hydrangea Nigra. Hope it blooms blue. Really enjoy your videos. Sharing God's beautiful creations 🙌🌿🙌

Good luck w your potential, scary bee "crime scene"! Yikes..gorgeous colorful tall flower shots at the end there. ❤

Your brothers sign turned out great! Hope he had a great birthday! I look forward to you trimming your weeping Cherry because I have one that needs pruning as well and I have no clue what I’m doing! Thank you for sharing with us! 😊♥️

The sign is great. Wow ! those bees would have me running away, that was scary.

Just beautiful❤❤❤

Wow I love the raccoon range sign. I need one with deer!! we had a wasp nest in the ground to. They are so mean!! 💕🌸🌸

Sign turned out so cute. Research Sevin Dust for the ground bee nest to see if you feel comfortable using to manage those bees. I loved that plant you used your sisters pot for. Such a pretty color. 💖💖🎶🎶

I was trying to dig up a hydrangea but I discovered a yellow jacket nest in a hole underneath it so I'm not digging it up until this winter.

Wasps are attracted to the smell of freshly dug dirt. When I dig during the day I have about 30 seconds before they all come. I find it much safer to transplant in the evening. Although if they're still there the next day then you are correct that you likely have a ground nest. I was told that the bees die off after 10 days of temperatures at 40 degrees or less, so maybe you can transplant then.

I had a run- in with ground bees twice so far , the first time was very traumatic for me because they were all over me , stung me many times and fallowed me into my house as I was yelling and screaming trying to get them out of my hair and ripping my clothes off , they are very aggressive. Love 💕 all your videos, you do everything so well

You are so charming. ❤❤❤

That was a close call with the bees 🐝 I laughed out loud when Nate scared you! I’m sorry but it was funny. I thought you were going to climb up on that table lol

I have 2 ground nests found in the last few days 😩 I’ve used spray, cinnamon, and today I tried Dawn dish soap . They are still milling around , but seems less of them .

So glad you brought us along today. The sign for your brother was a perfect idea! You are so creative. Did you return his wood burner?😅 So glad you weren't stung! A swarm like this could do some damage to your pretty skin.

if you borrowed 3-4 years ago, it’s yours now lol 😂😂😂

Does Nate enjoy your gardens as much as you do? 🌺💚🙃

That bluestem grass is very difficult to find so you were fortunate that it gave you babies. Ground bees are never fun to encounter when digging.

Clematis looks like Diana’s Delight, like the one I have that I got this year…. 🤓

Most of my plants never thrive, so I’m very reluctant to move anything around. I think my soil is on the high PH side and I’ve heard that high PH usually binds up the minerals in the soil, plus my water is very alkaline 😢🌺💚🙃

Have you thought of some epiphytes to adorn tree trunks? It would look perfect and complement the beauty of the garden. 👩‍🌾🧚‍♀🌾

Possibly Nelly Moser?❤😊

Looks like yellow jackets. They will defend their next vigorously. I tend to leave bees alone but not yellow jackets.

Your garden is so awesome! Do you use drip, hand water or do you get a lot of rainfall? - Zee, N. Cali zone10a

Do u worry about whether your soil is acid or alkali or do you just plant stuff and see if it grows well ? Your vocals would be great in a trio like the Dixie Chicks 😊😊 Love the sign 🤎. Bad Natey 😂🐍🐍 Did he say snake ?

I don’t see any sitting areas in your garden. Do you ever just sit and enjoy it?

Isn't that a Nelly Moser clematis? xx

I’m mad at you for saying frost lol!

Bees are amazing little creatures - but have a big attitude - lol 🐝🦟. Did you ever hear about a certain HUGE hornet bee called the “ Cicada killer ?” They catch & kill a cicada, then bury it in a hole where they then lay larvae on it. When the larvae -hatch they eat off the decaying cicada. The offspring often return to lay their larvae the following year 😳 amazing
