I love seeing Clarke in the background. He is one lucky dog. The deer in my back yard ring the doorbell and demand protection money. Love your shade garden very much!

Hi Jodi, been following you since the beginning, but have never posted a comment before. I am a proud plant mom myself, and have had spider plants for years now. They are very easy to maintain. Just water them once a week, and don't put them in direct sunlight. My first ones had babies themselves, which I gave to friends and colleagues. I also have a pothos, and a hanging plant called a "wandering Jew/dude" (Latin name: Tradescantia zebrina, which is gorgeous and also easy, look it up), and much much more. The older I get, the more I enjoy seeing my plant babies grow bigger. Greetings from the Netherlands!

You are my inspiration to get out into my backyard. I’m waiting for the 90’s to go away because my backyard is full sun! Thank you for sharing this.

Feeding chipmunks from your hand, you are now a Snow White.

That was fun!! My favorite part was when you said "I saw his face"!! You could identify him in a lineup😂😂.Everything is an adventure for you isn't it? Looks great.

Mom did great with the spider plants, I typically struggle to keep them alive, but I do still have one and she has been gone 15 years.

You should be very proud of all your work. The shade bed looks amazing. 🎉🎉🎉

Wow props for sticking with it for as hot and humidity it was.Great job Jody

you had me laughing because you were laughing especially with that tree root!!!!! LOL! super entertaining!

I am in middle Georgia. Our humidity finally dropped enough with a slight breeze at 70% and temps finally around 90 with a few clouds. I had to spend the time finally brushing my 2 german shepherds. It is so hot here. I don't ever want to be outside. Your video did help me imagine how great my yard would look if I went out. I did finally water my mosquito herbs and plants the other evening since we haven't had a lot of rain. Your bed looks so pretty. You need a decorative bird bath or statue. Maybe in an area over that big root running through.

Dang! it looked like Medusa! With such a big yard, small projects are the best. They still cause lots of sweat and tears though!

Great job Jodi! I just love the way the back yard looks. your hardwork has paid off!

OH my I have lots of shade too. I also live in Michigan.. Harrisville, a mile in from the lake , in a cottage in the woods.. I get the shade part! And we have sand.. all over sand! This used to be waterfront and that was centuries ago. We have dug up great fossils that you would find in the lake. So I have to be careful what I plant.

Jodi , great job ! And in that heat , you go girl ! It looks like you could even put your stepping stones right up against your little fencing and that be part of the border and not worry about weeds in that little part and swing them towards the shed .

Quite a transformation. It’s addictive.

Beautiful job! I can't believe you did that in that horrible heatwave we had! You were determined! 🌹🌻🌷🪻

You did an amazing job in your garden Jodi. It looks beautiful. It's funny you mentioned a mole in your yard. My husband has been working on a project for the past few months. And just this week he saw a mole for the first time in our yard.

What a beautiful transformation! I can't wait to see what it looks like in a few weeks

Try watering your spider plants with distilled water. Plants don't like minerals and when they 'drink' them, the minerals get to the end of the leaf and get stuck. But they cause the cells to explode and the tip dies. Eventually, there won't be enough leaf left to trim if you keep cutting them down. May I suggest watching "Sheffield Made Plants" on YT? Rich lives in Sheffield England and he's very knowledgeable about house plants. And funny too. He'll tell you all about spider plants and many others. I would put the tall plant on the side. You might want to invest in a light meter to ensure they get enough light. I have a combo light/PH/water meter. Staying inside, doing my cross stitch and planning a fall garden. I heard the birds. Thank you. Hello to Mickey Mole. 🐭

Jodi, it looks so beautiful and colorful! Move your big hydrangea to the front of your house in the fall. It will thrive there. Have a great week 😊!

That looks awesome Jodi! I was holding my breath and saying “oh no the poison ivy patch!” I remember from last year! I thought of you last week. The neighbor finally cut down the tree that broke off and hit our two houses in a storm recently. Our houses are right on top of each other. Well I tackled the small 4 ft area where nothing grew because of the darn tree (except weeds). I’m always uber cautious about poison ivy. Well there were no visible leaves at least. I raked out various weeds and roots. Scraped the inside of my left arm. Did the usual shower and put antiseptic on the scrape. Yup you guessed it! Poison ivy all over inside of my arm and then because if how I sleep got it all over my left side stomach/torso. Haven’t had it for decades. Sooooo miserable. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. Oh my the mole was hilarious especially under the plastic. I was waiting for you to wallop it with the shovel! 🤣 (I wouldn’t be able to either, but know what a nuisance they are in the yard and garden!) Love that fencing. I’ll look into that. Take care and happy gardening! 🌷🌹🌸

Hi Ms Jodi I was 🤣😂 when I heard you say mother f’er pulling the roots

Bạn làm rất tốt ,tôi rất vui được xem bạn chia sẻ ,cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ kinh nghiệm với mọi người ❤️🤝.

A quick tip-moles/voles love hosta roots (and others) so if you notice things aren’t thriving or your hostas are shrinking, plant in dollar tree wire waste baskets (bury the basket) so that way they can’t reach the roots. 👍

My Grandmother used to say spider plants brought bad luck to the house. 😮 She never had them because of that spoof. Lol 😅! It's way easier to work in the backyard when you have a beautiful garden back there. Good job Jodi, that heatwave was a tough one.

Hi Jodi ,you did such a a fantastic job on your shade garden,I know how hard yard work is ,my hat is off to you😍💥thanks for sharing.

I love this so pretty I can't wait to see these flowers 🌹 grow I hope you have a blessed day 😊

I am on your three of my garden, total transformation, removing trees, shrubs, at least 2 tons of River rock, pavers, fencing. Seeding. New perennials 😊. It’s exhausting, but it’s turning out to be quite beautiful. This should be my last transformation year and then I will just maintain it. I am just putting it back together so it should need very little maintenance.

Love your new shade garden, you did a great job, it is going to be beautiful.

Jodi, you did a great job in your shaded garden. It looks beautiful! It'll look even more beautiful when it all blooms & gets bigger! I love the little black fencing so cute! Boy, those were big roots. I did have some big roots in our garden. They were from our trumpets! They grow everywhere. We try & keep them maintained in the front planter! But they still grow all over! I can't do much outside work anymore. I just do planters & some aren't doing too well. But some are doing ok! It's been hot some here, too! We're in the desert🏜 Eastern Washington. It's dry heat!Well, thanks for sharing! ♥️☺️🫂🦉🐾🧵🪡🧶🌹🦋🍄🧩🌷🍄🐿🐦✨️

Yay!!🎉Jodi, I love your new shade garden! 🪴 Your enthusiasm is awesome!!! 😎 I’m so glad you treated yourself to a pretty area!! You worked so hard! I love it!! 😍

Very nice Jodi! Came together lovely ❤ hope to see it once everything has grown in.

You know, I have been wanting to start my own vlogging channel I even went as far as starting to record stuff, then I thought to myself who is going to want to watch me cook and clean and water my garden and talk about the small things I am doing around my home....then I remember I have been watching you clean your back yard for a year now lol 😆😆😆

Looks so good!

You did it! You should be proud of all that hard work! And it looks great!

Beautiful. Loved that you left the big rocks.

Yet another great transformation👌🏻

Jodi your new shade garden bed looks beautiful! I have a similar garden fence that I got from Amazon last fall; mine is 4' tall, and it keeps the neighbor's dog out of my backyard.

Good job jodi! That's what I watch. I've learned alot.

Spider plants are really easy to grow!! I put them hanging baskets! Jodie, you have worked so hard!! And has pals off!! It’s absolutely beautiful!!! You Wii be so happy and enjoy your lovely area.

I grow Spider plants outside in the ground here in Las Vegas. They do well all year around, even at 112 degrees heat, which we had yesterday. 🥵 I have the regular striped ones and the reversed striped ones. I get tons of babies too! Good luck with growing yours Jodi!!! Fun to watch what you grow in your area. 😊

Tea cup , awesome

Love the garden transformation. If you want you can try chip drop. You can get free wood chips from them so you can get free mulch for free!

You turned that into a beautiful shade garden!

Everything is looking so pretty in your yard! You are quite the gardener and your channel has given me so much inspiration. My yard is looking great, too, which as a person who used to think I had a black thumb is quite something! It’s all from watching you do things and thinking if Jodi can do it I can, too! Small warning: I also planted a bunch of coleus in my back yard and something ate all of it! Maybe bunnies or deer.

Love the look! Maybe next year you need to totally remove all the old weed supprecent and till the soil for a fresh start with new product. I notice you had the same problem out front too!

Jodi it looks beautiful. Your going to be so happy when the whole yard is done. Cannot wait to see what you choose to do next. I'm doing Pt & accupuncture with doggo. Cannot believe how well she did mon,tue. Today she seems sore. I gave her a lazy day pass. I'm thinking about thinning out a few of the uggg I can't remember the name of the perrenial. You planted a few in your hanging baskets. Anyway I want to plant them around the garage. So I'm thinking about thinning a few out now, kinda afraid I know maybe I should wait till fall. I'll read up. But that's my next goal

It looks beautiful. Wonderful job.

Jodi, another really good gardening channel, is Robbie on Visit Our Garden. He's so relatable and funny. Enjoyed todays video, it looks great! I would have ran when little Mr Mole came to visit.😂

I love this series! I have a black thumb, I kill everything but I love the idea of a big yard full of pretty plants and flowers and love to see the progress you make!

I bought a HUGE spider plant in 2019 and had babies from that plant until 2023 when my last baby from it died. I haven't been able to find any in stores either. It's very frustrating. OMG! My daughter got blood drawn for an allergy test and she blurted out "That's preppy!". It was so blasted funny! She said after she didn't know why she said it and that it just came out. Me, the nurse and the other nurse that came to help were all cracking up! The space turned out amazing! I want to do all that kind of work but I have made myself not do it in the rental we are in and wait until we can buy a house. I do the minimum to help my plants grow and make it look decent but that's it for me for now. I can't wait to buy a house and really be able to do everything I've always wanted to do!

Very beautiful Jodi. Great job 👏 👍

Your video just popped up on my computer. I thoroughly enjoyed your garden makeover and your fun attitude. I need to watch your past videos to catch up. 😊

Your shade garden looks wonderful. You did a great job

It loʻks so cute & I think some fuchias & azalias should work well there to🏵🌺🌻

It looks beautiful!!🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

It looks beautiful Jodi 🌸💛🌸💛🌸💛

Omgosh, I stopped couponing and got into gardening recently and when I heard your voice, I’m like…. I know that voice! 😆

Your flower garden looks wonderful Jodi! 🥰

It looks amazing Jodi ! 😊❤

Fantastic! My back would have been finished after the first root. That's why it takes me ages to do things.

Looks great! Because of you, I bought the larger root slayer. I love it! I’ve been working on several areas of my yard. Back garden with shrubs. Butterfly garden with all new perennials. I had 5 yards of mulch delivered. Pile is almost gone. My goal is to have everything planted and mulch by 4th of July weekend.

Snakes lay eggs in that ground bedding stuff!

Hi Jodi! Your shade garden is so pretty! I love your hosta. Congratulations on the hydrangea! I used to have some but my husband “accidentally “ killed them! I’m still butt hurt over it! 😂 Over 4th of July, we are going to clear out our master bedroom and paint the walls. We are also going to pull up the 1980’s mauve carpet! It’s time! LOL There are hardwood floors underneath so I don’t know why we’ve waited this long!🤷‍♀️ I can’t wait to see the transformation!

That looks great Jodi! I remember you getting poison oak from that flower bed. It's been so hot everywhere. I try to stay indoors and get things done inside.

Jodi, all your projects are inspiring!!

Love the shade garden. Great job.

Looks beautiful!

Hi, it looks fantastic, well done. I’ve been deep cleaning my bathroom today, I even washed the slatted blind in the bath. Lol

#1. Jodi, your new garden looks mahvelous darling! # 2. I love working outdoors but with this extreme heat ( I’m diabetic) unfortunately I cannot. I miss it so much. #3. I love your

It looks amazing!!! ❤

You did a wonderful job! Garden Answer is another great channel:)

Beautiful!

You did such an awesome job it looks amazing!!!🌸🌷🌻🌹

OMG Jodi. BEAUTIFUL! Enough said!! Have a great week, and a great Fourth of July.

Your garden turned out so sweet great job Jodi😅

Stump and vine killer by Bonide is great to stop roots/stumps from coming back

Very pretty Jodi!!!!

The garden is pretty

Awesome job!

Hiya, just found your channel as it popped up on my home feed. The small mammal looked like a VOLE not a mole. It was probably confused when you removed all the weeds, and may have a little home under your walkway. They do not usually come into houses, and are vegetarians, mainly eating grass. So not an animal to worry about. Garden looked colourful after you had finished. Well done.

Nice!🎉🎉🎉

Looks Great

Quedo hermoso esa parte del jardin...un gran cambio...valio la pena el esfuerzo...!!!!

That definitely was a vole. Moles have large front claws for digging.

Beautiful work Jodi! Inspiring!

Awesome ❤😊

Wow❤

Jodi, it looks so good! Have you considered Heuchera (Coral Bells)? They are like Hosta to me. Shady, leafy but flowering perennials that you periodically split. My favorites are the Dolce Silver Gumdrop and Dressed Up Evening Gown. I'm currently down the rabbit hole on DIY garden art since I got everything planted and am in maintenance mode until fall when clean up starts again. Last week I finally got my oak tree stump pile split for firewood and the rest of it removed (after 3 years of it being down, almost to the week.) Felt good to be done with yard projects for the season. So, of course a section of my fence fell over. Sigh. It's ONLY 38 years old. Ha! So, I took it apart, and now I have to call Miss Utility because I am temporarily putting up rolled bamboo over this section, and I KNOW the power to the garage is buried, just not sure exactly where.

this is so exciting!

Amazing

This looks incredible! I love this!

Beautiful

Keep these coming, i enjoy watching you clean up and pick uo the garden ty for sharing

Garden is looking great 😊

Looks so pretty! Definitely indoors in Arizona.

Hi Jody! Happy to see you back at it!
