I can already see that this is going to be a great series. Michael Glassman is the ultimate professional while being an approachable, friendly gentleman.
I love that you two have come up with this series!! It would be fun to watch viewer submitted videos of their yard issues and have you two discuss solutions. I think it would help us all relate more, and we are all different regions. So excited to watch upcoming videos!!
Thirty years ago I found out a development was going up in our back location where there was a ranch. I immediately had 8 trees put in. 2 bald Cyprus, 5 live oaks and 2 maples because we would have had no privacy while swimming in our pool. They grew unbelievably fast and we had our privacy by the time all the houses went up.
A great topic that I’m seeking help with is “creating rooms” in my garden. Screening is a biggie, but also paths, line of sight, focal points, etc. How do I take my wide open space and create something that draws you in and makes you curious about what’s inside?
Yes, please! It always looks so easy to create rooms and paths - but I hit a wall when I sit down to plan. I feel frozen in place when thinking about where to begin.
I’m so happy you decided to do this series. Michael Glassman is so knowledgeable and I learn a lot listening to him. You make a great team. I love your channel Janey. I watch you every morning. Continued success!!
Creative problem solving. Love it! One problem you might consider is curb appeal, specifically for a small garden area close to the street. We are blessed to have 2 acres in town but the 1900 house was built close to the street in the middle of the acreage. So we have huge side yards and a park-like backyard that butts up to a small grove and a county ditch. Small towns, gotta love em!
As a gardener, I find topics like these so important. Privacy and screening is so important when creating personal spaces. Short story, when I started my garden I created a series of garden rooms, one for reading. Well, one day, I had an uncomfortable feeling, looked up and saw my neighbor staring at me. Jolted, I avoided that area of the garden for quite awhile. My knee jerk reaction was to plant fast growing trees (big mistake) that cost very little to plant but many $$$ to remove. So, please keep these topics coming. We need them.
Yes, I love this series. When you get to the episode on “four legged friends”, could you please touch on ideas for a garden with deer pressure where fences are not possible?
Hi Janey, I just love the “Solving Problems” series! What an inspired idea. Could you add or find a place to put a segment on the aging gardener? We are both over 70 and still love to garden. We do need to not have such a labor intensive garden any longer so maybe ways to simplify or even make the landscape safer. I tend to trip and fall and at my age I need to be careful not to break something. Thank you so much, Terri in Elk Grove
Gardening as we age would be an excellent topic to discuss with Michael!! Perhaps both Janey and Jason could also share helpful stretching and strengthening exercises to use before and after we spend many happy hours working in our gardens! 🩷
I am definitely looking forward to the deer episode. I have lived in my location for 37 years and I’ve always had deer walking through my yard. They have never bothered my plants until last year. What changed I don’t know, but they completely massacred a lot of my plants. I put out everything I could find last year: Repels All, moth balls and other products but nothing deterred them. Very interested in hearing some new information to solving this problem. We love seeing the deer but just don’t want to invite them to a “all you can eat buffet.”
This is such a great idea ! Love the three levels and can’t wait to learn more. I have great neighbors but my house sits higher than everyone else’s so I look into everyone else’s yards but it also feels like I’m on stage. These were some great ideas!
Michael's brain is amazing! He has the best ideas and then the experience he has catalogued over the years - amazing! We are so lucky to get this information, even if we can't use it immediately - I hope you link to a book that he has written, or that he writes one soon - such good information! And given so kindly and earnestly - great guy! And thank-you Janey for making this friendship and a way to share it with us all - I love all your friends! & your family too!
Please discuss overhead power lines, cable lines. My property is crisscrossed with overhead lines and so much underground piping. It is a challenge to plant anything. I planted two lilac bushes that supposedly top out at 8 feet. Thank you from KY.
What a great series! I'm excited to watch the next one. Please remember those of us in the north...as much as I'd love a bougainvillea hedge, that's not possible in zone 6. ❤️
What an excellent idea! I have a neighbours windows 25 feet from my patio and they are taking pictures of me and my dogs. For real. I’m doing a mixed border with evergreens and also a trellis with vines but until they mature I have diy a trellis around my patio, backed it up with a straw screen and backed that up with fibre cloth. I have light coming through but not a chance they see me. I’m learning how to weld and will probably replace my trellises at the border with metal “fencing” for my vines// Asa, a 58yr old woman of 5”2. 😁
Yay! Great idea! Can't wait to hear about solutions to deer pressure. I definitely have a love/hate for the deer in my yard. I'm trying very hard to plant only deer resistant plants but I want gorgeous flowers too. My yard seems to be the deer salad bowl!
Same problem..they not only eat my grapes and vine, they pull off the tomatoes one by one, then spit them out, they break or yank the plant out. Even succulents. Not even counting the gophers, raccoons, and occasional opossum. Deer jump fencing, and the others climb. Best wishes for you and your garden.
We have a screened 3 season porch. We used plumbers pipe and spray painted it to the color we wanted. We then used painters drop cloths and purchased a grommet tool so we could hang them from the plumbers pipe. Not only are they great for privacy, but also for keeping the afternoon sunlight from the west from fading the pillows on the furniture and causing damage to the wicker furniture. We are happy with this, as are our Boston Ferns on the porch. This was pricey, but it's worked for the past 6-7 years for us. Love this series you and Michael are doing providing great information for all of us. We are zone 7 in Botetourt County in the mountains of southwestern Virginia.
Thank you for another video with Michael Glassman. Like you, Janey, I think of the pretty plants. Michael's perspective is so much larger and will help us all not only solve problems, but avoid costly mistakes. I, for one, look forward to a video about drainage. I think everyone is experiencing heavier rain storms and getting all that water to the right place is important. This series is another one of your brilliant ideas! You are inspiring in so many ways!
Wonderful idea for a series!!! My issue is deer and bunnies. I live on 8 acres … so quite expensive to fence the entire thing and I am surrounded by a 400 acres nature preserve….. full on animals.
I don't know how you have enough time to add another project to your busy day, you just have an endless imagination and plenty of energy to go along with it, you're successful at everything you do.
This is so wonderful and I'm so glad that it's Michael that's explaining things with you we live in a neighborhood we are the fourth house the houses above us their yards slow down so we get all of the water that begins in our neighborhood drains in our yard and we live in what is called a bowl yard I'm sure Michael knows what that is but our backyard is a bowl after we bought the house when we came down the driveway my husband said look at our backyard it's a bowl and drainage is our problem and I am so looking forward to hearing what he would have to say about landscape above you higher you have a bolyard and all the water drains down in your yard and it is ruining our backyard.
This is soooo exciting! I love Michael's ideas. Please keep this coming. I totally have issues with the two story behind me and their kids looking out the windows yelling at us in our backyard. Great ideas for screening them out!
My daughter bought a $30 shade sail, some nylon rope and a large grommet kit and made basically a Roman shade for the back of her deck that looks over into a neighbor’s yard. Since it’s West facing, it also helps tremendously for cutting down the afternoon heat for the house.
What a great series from a great team! For privacy issues it would be great to have a list of the fastest growing evergreen screening trees, hedges and vines. For the future: deer!!! I'm looking for creative, visually pleasing deer solutions.
Red tipped photinias thrive in our area. A lot of people consider them a trash plant because builders use them all the time. But there’s a reason for it… they do so well! We had them lining the yard at our last home that was against a busy street. They got huge and really cut down on the road noise. They’re a beast in gulf coastal zone 9.
I really appreciate what are you doing with Michael Glassman. It is nice to see your garden and everything what are you doing but this series is a gift for your audience Thank you for including our needs in you channel.Thank you!
Thank you Thank you Thank you! I’ve needed this. There’s so many options I didn’t even think existed. Makes me so excited to get in my garden and do some! 🥰
Excited about this series! I know he's talked about drainage on some of the tours, I'd love to hear his opinion on rain gardens. Is that something you even need out west? It's becoming a big thing here in rainy Florida!
Thank you for this.❤ I have exactly the problem of a two story house looking down to our pergola. Compounding the problem is that we have views and we've promised our very nice neighbors that we won't plant things that will impede their view. So we're using vines. Can't wait for the next video with Michael.
PLEASE do one for the other 4 legged animals (dogs)! I have 3 dogs and want to provide shade, places for them to rest, cover and solutions for dog poop and still make it look as beautiful as possible on a budget. Any help would be appreciated!!!! I watch you daily and love when Michael Glassman is on! Love when Jason is too! They both add SO much! You’re doing a wonderful job with your channel Janey! As good as Garden Answer but very different and appealing content. I watch her daily too and have learned so much from both of you! When my garden is worthy, I will submit a video for Zone 8.
What a great idea for a series! Love all the ideas you and Michael have and love how much excitement and energy you both have for making outdoor spaces beautiful and practical.
I love this series!! So unique compared to other gardening channels. I’m very much looking forward to the drainage video as we are planning a small patio. Our main concern is drainage.
I love your series with Michael Glassman. I’ve saved every episode and watched them multiple times ❤. I wish Michael can come to Southern California because I have a backyard with big slope (approx. 2000 sqft.) going upwards and I don’t know how to make it functional. I also have multiple fruit trees that are full in harvest every year but the animals (rabbits, squirrels, gophers, birds) got to them before I do. Can you do series about these problems? Can you also do a series on plants/ trees gardeners recommends to owners but designers wouldn’t? Thank you very much for making such a big impact in our lives.
Hi Janey🌺 . Very cool video of you and Michael . He has excellent solutions and ideas in the land scape . Janey and Michael if you have a neighbor whose shrubs and grape leaves are crossing the border and he not does cut them, what is the solution ? Have a wonderful day .🌺🌻🌺
You two are so generous to take time out of your busy schedules to help solve issues gardeners may experience in our landscapes. This will be a great series, you’re like gardening detectives! 😊🇨🇦
I live in a nice neighborhood, but I have a renthouse on each side I have a beautiful front yard, they don't take care of their yards. Every day when I'm out in my garden people stop and thank me for making the neighborhood beautiful.
I Love this! For 20 years we've lived on a hill on the river with a row of condos across the river, an empty tree filled lot beside us and a house on the other side with a semi-treed lot, the house a good distance from our lot line. We deliberately left our hill tree covered so that in the summer and fall we cannot see the water or the condos because I practically live on our back porch when not at work. The covered porch has a 3' high railing along the 22' length and 9' width on one side. The walls of the house enclose the back and other side. This summer we've been challenged with the new neighbours decimating the trees on the lot closest to the porch, eliminating almost 100% of our privacy and the neighbour on the other side clearing more and more of his trees down by the water, which is opening up the view of the river, which then means people on the river can see up our hill through those trees. Your video has offered some good ideas to create privacy going forward, other than the quilt I've thrown over the side railing to block the view, although it's been a great temporary solution...LOL!
Love Love Love! Super excited about this series-great idea and Michael is so talented. I need a Michael Glassman in West Michigan! Thank you both- this series feels like a gift 💕
I know folks are afraid of bamboo, but clumping varieties planted properly (slightly raised berm, in-ground barrier) keep it well under control, and it creates a dense very tall (20 foot) border in only a couple of years.
This topic was soooooo needed!!!!! Thank you so much!!! Can't wait to follow along. Love you guys & BELIEVE ME-YOU GUYS ARE DEFINITELY NOT BORING😊 Cheers from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 zone 5b
Thank you, Janey and Michael! This episode is particularly interesting to me, since I bought a house in Chico a few years ago and my back yard is right on the bike path. I love it because there are no houses back there and I have a nice view of Little Chico Creek which makes my yard seem bigger, but the fence is just an open 5-foot metal fence and all the people walking their dogs can see right into my house. The fence doesn't get much sunlight because there are huge redwood trees growing behind it which offer no screening because the needles start 9 feet off the ground! What do you suggest I should plant here that would thrive in a Chico, CA climate, and grow fast but also can tolerate the heavy shade of a massive evergreen?
What a great idea, so useful! A problem for me is how to get shade on the southwest corner of my house when I have a clutter of overhead wires to contend with!
Watching from Foley, AL Janey and Michael together bringing us solutions and ideas. What a way to start the morning! You two blow me away with your creativity. I LOVE IT❤
A fantastic video! Timing was perfect for me, since I'm currently installing several evergreen trees and shrubs to improve views, winter interest, privacy, and noise reduction. You guys are just FULL of great ideas! I live in Wild & Wonderful WV, mid-Ohio valley, suburban neighborhood at the end of a dead-end street, zone 6b. My property adjoins a large wooded/forested parcel that is owned by a nearby university. Deer are my #1 gardening problem. They pass through and graze my 'salad bar' multiple times each day. Starting this year, I have added rabbits to my list of problems. Where did all these rabbits come from? And insects/pests are #3.
Michael Glassman talks, we listen!! A problem with why we hardly want to have dinner outdoors during the summer are flies and wasps. You try to sit and relax after a meal but find you have to get up quickly and clear the table so you don't attract every insect in the yard. Buzz🪰🐝kill!!
Our issue/ problem was a steep hill not 20 ft from our back patio! It had a retaining wall that leaked awful when raining so we interviewed garden designers and came up with one that has a recirculating fountain in center then creeping fig on the wall then planting on the hill! It has worked great solving that problem but there is no access for us to maintain it! I have to hire a 20 yr old to climb and weed/ trim the hill! Crazy but we r in an adult neighborhood and will not b going up there anytime soon! Love your videos! Thx Janey
Yes! Absolutely right! Feeds the soul ❤ I have overhang laser cut metal screens and some on one side, they’re amazing! Thank you guys and so looking forward to learn from this brilliant idea of a series with the two most spectacular people on UA-cam! ❤❤❤
Wonderful new show! Janey and Michael, I will be as tuned in as I have been for Janey’s DPWR the last couple years! It a proven winner of garden interest! Thank you and I am sure that one day we will see you on PBS.
So excited for this series with both of you! This video is so relevant to my husband and me right now...such a great range of suggestions! Thank you!!💚💚
Nothing is dull and boring with anything involving Michael Glassman!
I can already see that this is going to be a great series. Michael Glassman is the ultimate professional while being an approachable, friendly gentleman.
I love that you two have come up with this series!! It would be fun to watch viewer submitted videos of their yard issues and have you two discuss solutions. I think it would help us all relate more, and we are all different regions. So excited to watch upcoming videos!!
That’s a great idea! 😊🇨🇦
Are you kidding me, I will love seeing these helping videos.
Thirty years ago I found out a development was going up in our back location where there was a ranch. I immediately had 8 trees put in. 2 bald Cyprus, 5 live oaks and 2 maples because we would have had no privacy while swimming in our pool. They grew unbelievably fast and we had our privacy by the time all the houses went up.
A great topic that I’m seeking help with is “creating rooms” in my garden. Screening is a biggie, but also paths, line of sight, focal points, etc. How do I take my wide open space and create something that draws you in and makes you curious about what’s inside?
I second that!
Mee to! 😊
Yes, this would be a great topic!
Excellent topic!
Yes, please! It always looks so easy to create rooms and paths - but I hit a wall when I sit down to plan. I feel frozen in place when thinking about where to begin.

This is the biggest issue at my house! THANK YOU!!! I want to try out some of these ideas ASAP!
I can't wait to watch! This sounds amazing to me.Thank you for making this type of video!
Who doesn't love Michael? The only UA-cam viewing pleasure better than Michael is Michael & Janey (and Robbie too)!
I am definitely looking forward to the deer episode. I have lived in my location for 37 years and I’ve always had deer walking through my yard. They have never bothered my plants until last year.

"It feeds the soul" - another great quote by Michael Glassman!

Please discuss overhead power lines, cable lines. My property is crisscrossed with overhead lines and so much underground piping. It is a challenge to plant anything. I planted two lilac bushes that supposedly top out at 8 feet. Thank you from KY.
Dwarf varieties!
This is great! I am sharing it with my garden club.
What a great series! I'm excited to watch the next one. Please remember those of us in the north...as much as I'd love a bougainvillea hedge, that's not possible in zone 6. ❤️
We're lucky to be able to plant conifer hedges in lower zones, which Janey mentions.
What an excellent idea! I have a neighbours windows 25 feet from my patio and they are taking pictures of me and my dogs. For real. I’m doing a mixed border with evergreens and also a trellis with vines but until they mature I have diy a trellis around my patio, backed it up with a straw screen and backed that up with fibre cloth. I have light coming through but not a chance they see me.
I’m learning how to weld and will probably replace my trellises at the border with metal “fencing” for my vines//

Wow. That's weird. How awful for you.
Yay! Great idea! Can't wait to hear about solutions to deer pressure. I definitely have a love/hate for the deer in my yard. I'm trying very hard to plant only deer resistant plants but I want gorgeous flowers too. My yard seems to be the deer salad bowl!

fencing, and the others climb. Best wishes for you and your garden.
What a treasure Michael Glassman is! Enjoy the two of you together sooooo much! 😊
We have a screened 3 season porch. We used plumbers pipe and spray painted it to the color we wanted. We then used painters drop cloths and purchased a grommet tool so we could hang them from the plumbers pipe. Not only are they great for privacy, but also for keeping the afternoon sunlight from the west from fading the pillows on the furniture and causing damage to the wicker furniture. We are happy with this, as are our Boston Ferns on the porch. This was pricey, but it's worked for the past 6-7 years for us. Love this series you and Michael are doing providing great information for all of us. We are zone 7 in Botetourt County in the mountains of southwestern Virginia.

Great collaboration! This is going to be a great series.
What a great series Please tell us about how to keep the voles and Moles out of the yard without using poison
Wonderful video!!! I love the idea of problem solving videos. Providing multiple options and creative solutions is so helpful.
Anything with Michael Glassman is insanely creative and always so informative! My favorite new series.
This is so wonderful and I'm so glad that it's Michael that's explaining things with you we live in a neighborhood we are the fourth house the houses above us their yards slow down so we get all of the water that begins in our neighborhood drains in our yard and we live in what is called a bowl yard I'm sure Michael knows what that is but our backyard is a bowl after we bought the house when we came down the driveway my husband said look at our backyard it's a bowl and drainage is our problem and I am so looking forward to hearing what he would have to say about landscape above you higher you have a bolyard and all the water drains down in your yard and it is ruining our backyard.
Personally, I can't wait for the drainage episode. I need help in that area. 😊. This is going to be a great series!
This is soooo exciting! I love Michael's ideas. Please keep this coming. I totally have issues with the two story behind me and their kids looking out the windows yelling at us in our backyard. Great ideas for screening them out!
Well that's a bummer. But it made me think of another problem that we need solutions for: Noise. Perhaps they'll cover that in a future episode.
What a GREAT idea for a series!! Could you touch on what credentials to look for when hiring a contractor or landscape designer/architect?
Love this new series you're planning. From the first episode it appears that these tips will be applicable across all zones. Thank you!!
My daughter bought a $30 shade sail, some nylon rope and a large grommet kit and made basically a Roman shade for the back of her deck that looks over into a neighbor’s yard. Since it’s West facing, it also helps tremendously for cutting down the afternoon heat for the house.
Yes!! I plant in my backyard...and would like some privacy. Small trees/dig panels are a good idea. 💚 this talk/series!!
Love that you are doing this series! Lots of great ideas! Thank you!💚
Love the idea of your new series. The inspiration photos are great and I would love to see even more!
What a great series from a great team! For privacy issues it would be great to have a list of the fastest growing evergreen screening trees, hedges and vines. For the future: deer!!! I'm looking for creative, visually pleasing deer solutions.

Award winning… you are speaking to the gardener, the homeowner, the renter… love the series!!! Thank you so much.

Awesome. Thank you for doing this series with all levels of monetary availability in mind. I look forward to the next segment.
This is genius. I’m going to love this series.
Oh my. I just love this idea and look forward to watching. Michael is awesome!
Love Love Love! Super excited about this series-great idea and Michael is so talented. I need a Michael Glassman in West Michigan! Thank you both- this series feels like a gift 💕
This was great!! Love the collaboration!
Love this series. Every time's a fun time with Michael Glassman!
I know folks are afraid of bamboo, but clumping varieties planted properly (slightly raised berm, in-ground barrier) keep it well under control, and it creates a dense very tall (20 foot) border in only a couple of years.
I’m so pleased with this series keep it going!! You two have great relationship which adds to this being an amazing series thank you!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful Janie…and Love Michael Glassman…wish he could clone himself and send him all over!! ❤
This topic was soooooo needed!!!!! Thank you so much!!! Can't wait to follow along. Love you guys & BELIEVE ME-YOU GUYS ARE DEFINITELY NOT BORING😊 Cheers from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 zone 5b
Absolute YES to problem solving in the garden series with Michael Glassman!!
Thank you, Janey and Michael! This episode is particularly interesting to me, since I bought a house in Chico a few years ago and my back yard is right on the bike path. I love it because there are no houses back there and I have a nice view of Little Chico Creek which makes my yard seem bigger, but the fence is just an open 5-foot metal fence and all the people walking their dogs can see right into my house.
The fence doesn't get much sunlight because there are huge redwood trees growing behind it which offer no screening because the needles start 9 feet off the ground! What do you suggest I should plant here that would thrive in a Chico, CA climate, and grow fast but also can tolerate the heavy shade of a massive evergreen?
I have madrone and pine tree shade, honeysuckle is growing up the fence in mostly shade.
Trumpetvine grows in my backyard with part shade.
If you live in Chico, you might be able to put Oleander In front of your fence. I hope you are safe from the fire.
What a great idea, so useful! A problem for me is how to get shade on the southwest corner of my house when I have a clutter of overhead wires to contend with!
Watching from Foley, AL Janey and Michael together bringing us solutions and ideas. What a way to start the morning! You two blow me away with your creativity. I LOVE IT❤
Love the idea of this series. Cant wait to watch them all! We all have issues. Amanda in Salem MA
I love everything you do and I am so glad you went to cultivate because you interviewed people that I subscribed to on UA-cam. It’s so fun to watch.
Love this series thank you so much !
A fantastic video! Timing was perfect for me, since I'm currently installing several evergreen trees and shrubs to improve views, winter interest, privacy, and noise reduction. You guys are just FULL of great ideas! I live in Wild & Wonderful WV, mid-Ohio valley, suburban neighborhood at the end of a dead-end street, zone 6b. My property adjoins a large wooded/forested parcel that is owned by a nearby university. Deer are my #1 gardening problem. They pass through and graze my 'salad bar' multiple times each day. Starting this year, I have added rabbits to my list of problems. Where did all these rabbits come from? And insects/pests are #3.
Loved this. Can’t wait to watch future episodes!
Awesome! Really enjoyed this layed back informative chat tonight. Look forward to more of these!
Thank you! Voles and moles are my nemesis!
Anticipating this series. I can use help with all the issues discussed at the beginning. Thanks in advance.
Michael Glassman talks, we listen!!
A problem with why we hardly want to have dinner outdoors during the summer are flies and wasps. You try to sit and relax after a meal but find you have to get up quickly and clear the table so you don't attract every insect in the yard. Buzz🪰🐝kill!!
I love this guy so much and THANK YOU for doing this series
Our issue/ problem was a steep hill not 20 ft from our back patio! It had a retaining wall that leaked awful when raining so we interviewed garden designers and came up with one that has a recirculating fountain in center then creeping fig on the wall then planting on the hill! It has worked great solving that problem but there is no access for us to maintain it! I have to hire a 20 yr old to climb and weed/ trim the hill! Crazy but we r in an adult neighborhood and will not b going up there anytime soon!
Love your videos! Thx Janey
What a blessing Mr Glassman is for you, Janey. And us!
YAY for this series! My garden is flat… no mystery could y’all do a video on how to create garden rooms from scratch?
This sounds awesome! I can't wait for this new series!
Yes! Absolutely right! Feeds the soul ❤
I have overhang laser cut metal screens and some on one side, they’re amazing!
Thank you guys and so looking forward to learn from this brilliant idea of a series with the two most spectacular people on UA-cam! ❤❤❤
