I’m grateful I found your channel. It is so exciting to see you develop your new land. I am a relatively new gardener and I got some great tips from this video. Thank you!
Great video! I also go through my supplies to make sure I have all the “foods” I need, plus compost, potting soil, root hormones, etc. it’s very frustrating to be in the middle of a project and realize I’m out of fertilizer.
Ohhh Janey, I love this so much! One of my favorite gardening tasks is dreaming/nerding out on the upcoming season. Thank you for the printable schedule - its great! Is there any way you can share your Notion calendar with us as well? As a fellow Davis/Zone 9b gardener, it would be super helpful to be able to take guidance from your schedule. Thank you for all of the inspiration you provide to us. Happy New Year!
So glad I found this channel! Janey, would love a video on resources for "nerding out" on garden design. I am just starting in my SoCal Zone 10b backyard...its overwhelming but I'm a total planner and I think sitting down for initial design planning would really help.
Hey Janey, Happy New Year!! You are the BEST!! 🤩 The second you said you took the time and effort to make a printable weekly maintenance schedule, I instantly paused your video, went to the link and printed out a copy for my fridge!! So easy!! Thank you so much for all you do for your "fans", lol!
What a coincidence that the word “plan” is in “plant” 😀. A helpful video, thank you Janey! I really enjoy the scheduling side of gardening. It’s helpful to keep track and look back at all the work that was done and reflect on the evolution of the garden. I do tend to go a little overboard putting stickers on my planner/calendar. I add hummingbird stickers on the days I’m lucky to see one. I add deer stickers every time I’m unlucky and they’ve nibbled my hydrangeas. I’m running out of deer stickers! 🦌🇨🇦
Thank you so much for this video! I love the garden calendar idea and really appreciate the print out! I have been dreaming away and need to commit and order before everything is sold. I cannot wait till spring! 🎉
Great video, Janie! What program do you use to plan out/draw your various gardens? I would really like to do this but feel a bit overwhelmed by knowing where to start. A potential business idea for you might be to offer a class for a fee that would walk us gardening students through the process… You are a natural teacher 😊. Thanks for all you share!
Yeah, when I 1st started gardening 35 yrs ago, I was very organized. Over the years, my obsession with plants threw any planning out the window. Plus knowing what to do with every plant was simple research and I just went from there. I probably should try to get back to some organizing tho. Thanks Janey for the memories.lol.
I can’t believe I’ve never thought to have a gardening calendar! I can be gone 15 hrs a day for 4-5 days in a row for work. Once I’m off, plants are stressed or I forgot to bring something inside on a cold night. This would help me so much. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Janey for the print out! I would like to get more organized in my garden this year. You so inspire me to be a better gardener. I can't wait to see your garden spring to life, and all that hard work pay off. I love Spring and Fall, my very favorite times of the year!
yes for organization in the garden! It just makes everything so much more enjoyable when you are organized and know what needs to happen next! Thanks for watching!
Planning season is what gets me through the winter months here in NH! The weekly /zone schedule is something I’ve been meaning to incorporate for a while now; I think it’ll make all the chores seem more manageable, especially as someone who’s gardening with some limitations… Thanks for the printable!✨😊
Very helpful!! Thanks for sharing. Having weekly tasks like you explained would really help me keep up with things, especially when the weather gets hot and motivation is low.
I am so excited and inspired by this session, Janey! I am planning a minor overhaul of my garden this year; sort of a ‘mullet’ strategy! I will expand on ornamentals in the front and natives in the back with a heavy emphasis on pollinators, birds and wildlife support! Your discussion got me jazzed to take down Christmas and start planning not only the new look, but how I will care for it! Thanks!
I'm with you, the designing is the fun part of gardening. They bumped me to 8a this yr, I still have calendula blooming, probably would if I was still 7b, just funny how I've paid more attention to the garden this winter.
Perfect timing! I am always behind in planting seeds, or pruning, or planting seedlings, so inspired by your video I am going to fill out an extra calendar and make it my gardening calendar! Thank you Janey! 🥰💐
Excellent program! This will assist me in being more organized this next year. One thing I would add is my seed starting schedule. We all know that there are certain plants that need to be started very early and others that you could actually wait and direct sow. Scheduling will help me to get optimal growth. I am in western Pennsylvania zone 6B.
Definitely far too constricting for my style of gardening, and I know this wouldn’t work for me - I have tried it. However, I can definitely see the value in having some kind of structure when it comes to tackling gardening jobs. I remember watching this youtube channel called ‘Clutterbug’ which deals with home organisation, and taking a test to assess my organisation style.Turns out I’m a Ladybug whereas you seem to be definitely a Cricket. I found it very enlightening and was able to understand why a more free-flowing approach works better for me, in the home as well as the garden. Great video. Greetings from England 🏴
Loved your video! I appreciate that you enabled us to have your printable schedule! I love my flower gardens, and have enlarged them the last few years. I am going to use your daily chores to make life so much easier! Thank you so very much!
Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing how you keep it all organized throughout the year! I have a two acre property and I learned pretty early on that transportation and motion waste will eat up a good chunk of time I have available to spend outside. So I do a combination of zoning and task planning. For zoning I do things like weeding, pruning, dead heading, planting and seasonal fertilizing or spraying. I have a general idea at the point at what time of year to do most tasks (e.g. horticulture spray crab apple trees monthly during the winter months, prune roses when the forsythias bloom, prune spring flowering trees after they bloom, etc.) but if I’m not sure I’ll look something up. For tasks that are more efficient to do the whole property at one time (e.g. weekly fertilization or deer spraying), I have a specific day I do that every week. I don’t do a lot of seeds at this time, if did I would definitely need a calendar.
My flowerbeds are small enough that I did not need to have a written plan. I must have planted over 100 plants last summer so I have lots of new plants to get to know. I have decided that I would get together a written plan for this year. Excited for it!
Good morning. Because I know it will be difficult to find Proven Winners Hoopla petunia this year, I've pre-ordered for delivery in May. It's the one must- have this year. I've been planning my 2024 garden for weeks now and have big plans for moving and splitting plants around my garden. I have a local native grower nearby that will help me add more natives for birds and insects to thrive.
Happy 2024 Janey and fam! As a fellow planner / organizer, I absolutely love this method! I also love when it's an electronic calendar bc you can search by keyword/plant. Another great bonus is if anything happens and you need help, it gives a good guide for you to share with others!
I'm definitely a planner. I get excited about seed starting and that in itself takes planning. I organize my seeds and put post it tabs 12 weeks prior to last frost, 10 weeks etc. in fact, today is the day!!!
So informative! And thank you for linking us to your garden calendar. I so enjoyed your Zone videos; I am in Zone 10, So. California, and would really like to hear more from those gardeners. Between you (Zone 9) and Laura (Zone 6) I've been both inspired to garden (plants/bushes/cypress) and learned how to keep them alive and thriving. Not organized as you ladies are, but even with just a narrow flower bed surrounding the pool, and 50 various sized potted plants, I am aware they need more than just water! BTW, I love those purple fountain grasses you grew in the zig-zag border; they just "make" that border and the dichondra is also a keeper! Have you considered Gerber daisies. Where I live they are hardy rascals as long as they are watered (in summer) every day. I so look forward to watching your garden develop in 2024!
I love this! I was low key freaking out about how I was gonna keep track of planting and taking care of things. Duh! Just put it on the calendar! So excited the time is almost here to get started on growing!
Lots of good tips here. I am not one to plan and make schedules for myself. I use Google calendar to remind me of gardening tasks. I made a whole new garden last year when I went lawnless. I have some more planting to do, evergreen and low water/maintenance. I have lots of perrenials that add color. So this year is maintenance and grooming. I'm sure I will spend significant time pulling up bermuda grass. The best thing is to get out there often to keep up with it. I am also zone 9b about 3 hours down the 5 from you.
I am a planner too. Not to the extent you are but I love planning. I also like flying by the seat of my pants too. It is a good thing to be a little of both. Lol
This is my second year seed starting and I also like to plan ahead and created a Google doc last year which was so helpful. I like your tip of numbering the weeks on the calendar, that is a great idea :)
Thanks Janie for such thought info on planning I live in 9 a/ 8b depending on heat in pensacola fl the heat wave here last summer was 2-3 weeks ong and just having then a knee replacement surgery I lost a few shrubs I planted in April may because they were not established and could not water as usual it was brutal and sad so now in Dec/Jan I’m trying to plant shrubs perineal as I see them plus weed and majorly mulch we have horrific winter weeds I watch Jim Putnam daily on this also I aim to get more ahead of the game and not spend all spring on weeding all 6 - 7 beds areas I have because of brutal heat and humidity it’s very difficult here so wish me luck ,, you have further inspired me!!! Judy in pensacola fl 👍👏
Thank you for the planning and organizing ideas. I find I can accomplish a lot more with a plan or list, even if it's just a weekly. Works for personal activities, church, quilting, and gardening. I'm going to try Linda Vater's garden journal this year. Happy gardening.
I love the PDF! I bought Linda Vater's Gardening Journal and I am using your print out on the calendar section. Im just writing it in. Thank you for all the education you offer us !❤❤
Excited to watch the new garden grow this year! I just use a paper calendar to write everything down & keep track of our rainfall for watering (in TN, so usually don’t have to water, but last summer/fall was dry)
This is a little too organized for me. I work full time and have a side hustle. Things get done when they get done. But I plan to grow seeds and add lots of new plants. So I’m planning where I wanna put things and when I need to start growing them.
Hi Janey, happy new year ! I don't think I'm good at planning...usually I get out in the garden and that's then the ideas pop out. But I think I need to get organised on pruning times because I have so many different kind of plants, their pruning seasons are different. I don't really like to fertilise with not natural materials unless the plant is in a pot/container so usually it goes like "oh, it's been some time I didn't do it, I think they might need something", or when the leaves change colour because they lack of something. But my garden is more the size of your previous garden and it's not my job :)
Hi Janey, Happy New Year, Enjoyed the video. I use a notebook each year adding sections for planning and staying organized a simple process so far it works. I do like your calendar idea and adopted that today - thanks for the great tips.
Great idea to plan the year out! I so bad at this and miss many important tasks. When is the best time to prune perennials/shubs? I have a breath of heaven that is in need to serious trimming. Thank you, love what you do! 😊
Planning is overwhelming for me, primarily I order my seeds, bulbs, bare roots, any amendments, soils, ect. I know will definitely sell out early. Then, I make mental notes on the process, SEW MY LISIANTHUS SEEDS, they are perennial in my zone but I want to try new varieties.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !! How much of your plan comes from what Michael Glassman's landscape plans? Do you pick an area and focus on that or just work on what floats your boat at the time?
I am new to gardening so this is great! I also live in zone 9b in the Modesto area. So on fertilizer how do you know what type of fertilizer and how often to fertilize your plants? I know in our valley heat you don't fertilize in the hot summer heat, that's all I know. And want to design flower beds in my small backyard how does one start and know how and what to plant that complements each other? Where do you go to get your ideas?
What a great idea to put everything on the calendar! How do peonies do in your zone, just curious, you had down for beginning of February to plant peonies but I do not remember seeing them before in your garden. Thank you!
I love to plan and organize for my garden. I’m renovating a garden designed (sort of) by a previous owner. Janey are you using a computer program to design your garden?
Thank you so much for this video and sharing your planning and printouts. I am really curious about the program you will use to plan all your annuals (Proven Winners). We live on 3 acres, and I have 5 flower gardens, mostly Proven Winners flowers. I have mapped them out in powerpoint, mainly to remember what is planted where. I just use a shape tool to put in the name of the plant, and then shade it the color of the plant. It works fine, but really want something more. What you have described is perfect. Can you share the name of the program or software? Thank you so much!
I love this video so much!!I'll keep a calendar and start for organize my garden!! How can i find my first or last frost, please? I need help with that...
Thank you for this. I really needed this otherwise you are kind of lost as to what to do when. What was the computer program you used to calendar it out?
Hi Janey, I don't mean to rub salt in a wound (if indeed it is) but what happened with your flower farm? I haven’t heard you mention it since there was that difficulty - I think it was a huge storm that wrecked it. Did you just decide not to continue there?
Thank you for the info about preorder. I’m in CA and struggle to get PW too. Seascapes strawberries bare-root? I will check the PW site, but if they are not PW, could you tell me where you find them please?
Great video. I’m struggling with planning because I have root bound clay soil. How do I deal with this soil? I would love to garden but the soil is impossible!
For planning your garden on paper, do you use a design program or how do you attack this? I want to enlarge my beds but with the price of plants (and everything else) going up I want to do it with a good plan. I want to get what I need to make the space thrive and look beautiful. I’m always too tempted to buy something that I don’t need instead of something i went to purchase. A good plan would definitely help! Any suggestions???
Yeah, I don't plan out my garden. I wing it cause I don't generate income. I just buy plants as the come on clearance. 😮 Thx tho, I'm sure many plan out thier garden.
No need to worry about sluggo getting mold. I’ve asked a few people (experts) about it and it’s just the filler that molds. It’s still effective (but not very attractive)
I’m grateful I found your channel. It is so exciting to see you develop your new land. I am a relatively new gardener and I got some great tips from this video. Thank you!
Great video! I also go through my supplies to make sure I have all the “foods” I need, plus compost, potting soil, root hormones, etc. it’s very frustrating to be in the middle of a project and realize I’m out of fertilizer.

I got a one year garden planner for Christmas and plan to use it to try and keep myself on task. We shall see how well it works for me.
Do you have a link for it? I would love one
@@cindysmith4392 I was given the Linda Vater 5 year calendar/organizer for Christmas and it's pretty awesome! Maybe take a look. Best of luck!

This is exactly what I did for my winter sowing seeds this year❤
So informative! And thank you for linking us to your garden calendar.

You are so welcome! I hope it's helpful!!
I am a planner too. Not to the extent you are but I love planning. I also like flying by the seat of my pants too. It is a good thing to be a little of both. Lol
This is my second year seed starting and I also like to plan ahead and created a Google doc last year which was so helpful. I like your tip of numbering the weeks on the calendar, that is a great idea :)

I was so excited to see this video pop up! I am ready to get organized and start planning for 2024! 🌸
It would be so cool if you had a template with your calendar on notion to share-idk how feasible that is or not
Love this . Do you note the moon fases . I find that planting seeds on a full moon will give much stronger plants with better germination.
This is a little too organized for me. I work full time and have a side hustle. Things get done when they get done. But I plan to grow seeds and add lots of new plants. So I’m planning where I wanna put things and when I need to start growing them.
So excited for the coming garden season!
Lots of great information, Janey, thanks! And thanks for the printable. Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for this Janey❣️ My garden planning was always in my head. I should put it down on paper this year. Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Hi Janey🌺 . Cool video. I'm excited to see you in the garden planting and fertilize plants like always . Happy new year and have agreat day . 🎄✨️

Happy New Year, Janey and family! I loved this video. I am a planner and I am so excited to start planning now.
Thank you, for motivating me❤ 🐝🌻
Thank you for the maintenance schedule
Heck yea planning and dreaming over here ❤
Planning is overwhelming for me, primarily I order my seeds, bulbs, bare roots, any amendments, soils, ect. I know will definitely sell out early. Then, I make mental notes on the process, SEW MY LISIANTHUS SEEDS, they are perennial in my zone but I want to try new varieties.

Great ideas! How do you adjust when it rains? Specifically, do you still fertilize when it is raining, or wait until the weather improves?
Great organization Happy New Year
Janey, when a seed pack has 6 to 8 week start which date do you pick and why. Great video today. Thanks.
I love planning 🥰🥰
Great Video! I’m inspired to get started ❤!
Great content, but also great hair! Love it.
What a great idea to put everything on the calendar! How do peonies do in your zone, just curious, you had down for beginning of February to plant peonies but I do not remember seeing them before in your garden. Thank you!
I love to plan and organize for my garden. I’m renovating a garden designed (sort of) by a previous owner. Janey are you using a computer program to design your garden?
I have a slope I want to plant creeping phlox but can’t find anywhere to pre order. It’s my second plant ever planting hahaha
Thank you so much for this video and sharing your planning and printouts. I am really curious about the program you will use to plan all your annuals (Proven Winners). We live on 3 acres, and I have 5 flower gardens, mostly Proven Winners flowers. I have mapped them out in powerpoint, mainly to remember what is planted where. I just use a shape tool to put in the name of the plant, and then shade it the color of the plant. It works fine, but really want something more. What you have described is perfect. Can you share the name of the program or software? Thank you so much!
I love this video so much!!I'll keep a calendar and start for organize my garden!! How can i find my first or last frost, please? I need help with that...
You can Google it, just ask the question & put in your zip code & also Farmers Almanac has them
Just do a google search with your town/location and state.
What about soil testing? And amending?
Thank you for this. I really needed this otherwise you are kind of lost as to what to do when. What was the computer program you used to calendar it out?
Hi, I’m wondering if you prefer plastic seed trays or seed blocking with the metal plunger thing?
Hi Janey, I don't mean to rub salt in a wound (if indeed it is) but what happened with your flower farm? I haven’t heard you mention it since there was that difficulty - I think it was a huge storm that wrecked it. Did you just decide not to continue there?
Thank you for the info about preorder. I’m in CA and struggle to get PW too. Seascapes strawberries bare-root? I will check the PW site, but if they are not PW, could you tell me where you find them please?
I got mine from Johnnys!
Was that a large bug or a small bird that flew in and out of the left side of the screen at 16:12?
Great video. I’m struggling with planning because I have root bound clay soil. How do I deal with this soil? I would love to garden but the soil is impossible!
For planning your garden on paper, do you use a design program or how do you attack this? I want to enlarge my beds but with the price of plants (and everything else) going up I want to do it with a good plan. I want to get what I need to make the space thrive and look beautiful. I’m always too tempted to buy something that I don’t need instead of something i went to purchase. A good plan would definitely help! Any suggestions???
Graph paper and colored pencils always works for me! I also have one of those circle stencils in different sizes
Yeah, I don't plan out my garden. I wing it cause I don't generate income. I just buy plants as the come on clearance. 😮 Thx tho, I'm sure many plan out thier garden.
how do I download the free printable?
What do use to bait for slugs? They love my brassicas
Sluggo Plus! Make sure you don’t put right next to the stalk, put a circle around it
Sluggo moulds under my hostas. Is this something to worry about? Does anyone else have that problem? ❄️🇨🇦❄️
No need to worry about sluggo getting mold. I’ve asked a few people (experts) about it and it’s just the filler that molds. It’s still effective (but not very attractive)
@@DigPlantWaterRepeat ok thanks so much Janey! ❄️🇨🇦❄️
