Don't give up on the fountain. Let Jason try his hand at it - if it really doesn't work you can always plant something trailing in it. I think it is beautiful.
I thought the same thing… painting it (so that it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb) and planting a swoop of grasses would be a fantastic way to soften that up!
Hi, fountains often need a cement sealer because they are porous. Check with Lowe’s, they maybe able to help you. Keep the fountain it’s a beautiful focal point in your secret shade garden.
Janey your excitement about those last 5 grasses was palpable!! Love that! I hope you can fix your fountain - it'll be so nice in the shade garden this summer 🙂
I believe water features are one of the most important parts of making a garden beautiful. That being said I say get rid or or repurpose the fountain somewhere else and find a fountain you absolutely love. You will be so happy you did. Good luck!
Janey, maybe the tube that is feeding up into the lion's mouth is simply to short and causing some of the water to fall back into the interior? Would replacing with a longer piece of tubing, one that almost slightly protrudes from the lion's mouth possibly stop the leakage? Good luck!
Janey I just want you to know that I may be single-handedly boosting your view counts…I have an 8 month old baby at home and most days I will start and re-start one of your videos multiple times before I’m actually able to get through it 😂🤣 the baby says “you’re welcome!” LOL (My husband works from home and he wondered why I had the same video playing for hours hahaha)
Love the poppy, have never seen, or heard of fried egg poppy! Your fountain might be frustrating, but don't give up, there are some great suggestions on this comment section! Hace you considered a birch tree in your front area, they provide so much intrest, and have so many varieties to choose from. A gentle breeze, and you have beauty in motion!
Jason is right, the fountain is fixable. My hubby fixed mine. You have a lot of plants to plant. Do your plants ever die just sitting there for so long. You must have to water them constantly. Can’t wait to see your garden in June.
Monty loves the water being sprayed at him. One of my dogs was a water dog, too. He'd go crazy and jump up and down, and back and forth she'd go, and we'd even spray the grass out behind her, to have her find it. Like playing a game with them. She'd always be wet when we had the hose out, watering our plants. Enjoy your water dog!
Don’t give up on the fountain. Something I learned from a leaking pool: Use some food coloring to find the leak and then go back and seal it. Also, doesn’t Robbie have a drip line running to his lion fountain to keep it refilled? Maybe tap into the drip and do the same once it’s fixed.
lol .. for just a quick moment when I saw all the PW pots/plants in the video .. I thought you wear at a garden centre. Then I realized .. that these are yours that you still have to be planted. 😁🪴 The grasses will be beautiful and I know you’ll be able to fix the fountain
I bought about 25 plants 3 days ago to plant on my hill. I get side tracked and have to weed and trim before planting them. I still have several to plant and it’s only been 3 days and I’m am concerned they aren’t in the ground. When I saw all those plants I thought the same thing! I hope Janey can get them in the ground before the heat comes! Have Jason dig the holes and you plant ❤❤❤
When you walked around the fruit tree, I got it! That’s why you planted them there! It also helped when you walked down the path to be I saw your vision! 🌼🐝
Janey and Jason, congratulations on your new venture. You are a great team. Love watching your UA-cam channel every morning you always have something new to show us. Thank you. Jackie
You are so so funny like I said before you are a joy to watch. You? Make gardening fun. Love your music that you use so refreshing. I see Monte is on the job. Good morning jason on the job as usual. Happy gardening the oklahoma gardener
So much fun! I bought 3 lemon squeeze and put them right outside at the corner of my sunroom window. I hope they do well in that spot for me. Look forward to seeing how all your plants grow over the next few months!!
I understand your frustration, but I'll bet Jason can figure out the fountain. It's beautiful and perfect for your shade garden and even discounted products are supposed to work! What a blessing to have Jason working with you all the time. He'll be a great addition to your projects and channel!
All the hard work is very obvious now Janey and those results are way better than I could ever imagine 😍 It’s shows you’ve got your hands pretty full and I’m glad you have Jason’s help now. Very kind and brave of you Jason 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Janey🌺 . These grasses are so pretty and their movement added beauty to your garden .Your stars jasmine look amazing like my stars jasmine . The flowers of the poppy amazed me with their beauty . Have awonderful day. 🌺🌻🌺
If the Lion head fountain just proves too much of a nuisance, then I think it could be beautiful as a planter…..some ivy trailing around it. I would pursue another fountain. That little side yard, courtyard oasis is perfect for a water feature of ‘some kind’👍.
Looking great Jannie! Sorry about the fountain being a pain they usually are🥴 make sure the top water isn’t running along the bottom of the bowl toward the back where the two pieces set on each other. It’s sounds like the problem. The flow has to run over the edge and not run down the bowl. Sometimes you need to adjust the tilt of the upper fountain forward to create the flow two run over straight down! Hope this makes sense. Good luck👍😎❤️
Everything is beautiful! I particularly enjoyed the views of you walking us down the meandering pathways. All the color is nice and your garden is filling in nicely. 👏🏽👏🏽 The pan views are pretty striking too. The garden will be striking in a matter of weeks 🎉
Oh hon, please just have Jason try to fix the Loin fountain, it's just beautiful. And you and Robbie just love them so much. Maybe Robbie can tell Jason how to fix it. Janey the grasses are going to be so beautiful, and you give such good information. The star jasmine is so beautiful I just love it so much. I want some.And I bet it smells wonderful. Love your channel snd love y'all too.❤
Janey, have you considered using a 6’ (could be smaller) stick, dowel rod, shoe mold, etc…, marked with 1’ increments, to use as your measuring stick? I’ve added markings to my favorite shovel, really helpful.
Janey, if you're totally over the fountain because of the water issues, fill it with succulents, as you had indicated to Robbie you would love to do in a fountain at some future date. Maybe the future is now! It would look beautiful and be so less stressful.
I hope J's. matching overalls are in the mail. He has to have his own gardening pair. 😊 The garden is coming along beautifully. You guys have did a great job.
Good morning. For the Niagra falls grasses are gorgeous where you want to place them, however I would do the design with them in the back. Because they get big and the blooms that you have already planted will be hidden. Just my thoughts. I would also move the fountain grass slightly to the right as it will have more room.
Jason my mother-in-law has a fountain that her husband bought her 25 years ago for their anniversary. It got leaks in it so I used a Gorilla Glue Patch and Seal clear. You can’t see it when it is filled.
I agree about getting what you see in a photo. Just when you think you got a good shot you find a different angle/photo that's better... every time. 🌿💕📸
Everything looking beautiful , those grasses remind me of crab grass I wonder if they are in same family . I do like the purple fountain grass tough plant
Love the grasses you planted. They really do add so much! I was so hoping you would plant the monster grass in front of that annoying propane tank. I think what Robbie was trying to say, is that video does not do your property justice. Not like seeing it in person.Hope Jason can repair the fountain as it is the centerpiece of your shade garden. Enjoy your day off tomorrow.
I was so happy to see you and your family at the Pence Gallery Garden Tour yesterday! I look forward to starting my days with your beautiful and informative videos. Thank you, Janey!
I think the monster being closer to the driveway is much better than the first spot you set it down. The fringe flower moving elsewhere makes the grass more centered in the space!
I’m sure your new employee 😍….can fix the fountain! But if you give up on the water- plant it up!! It would be gorgeous with fillers thrillers and spillers!
Fountains and the sounds of water are such an amazing addition to the garden. And so frustrating and an incredible amount of work! I keep at it with mine bc I love it. But so much work! Hope you are able to get it fixed. Things are looking so great there!
Good morning Janey, Jason 🐕 Those grasses are going to look amazing your gardens are starting to look great how's Robie the Willow doing? Have a great rest of the day, 🙂👋
Maybe Robbie can give you some tips on the fountain ? Maybe add some food coloring to the fountain water so you can see where it’s leaking and put some silicone there ? Good luck ! 💐💚🙃
I love tall grasses in a garden, they offer such a lovely texture and sound as well as the way they look…unfortunately, so does my dog, she loves chomping on them and (warning- TMI!!!) it makes her toileting interesting when the long, strappy leaves come out the other end and don’t quite “leave the back door” so to speak, then I have to tell her to go back outside and finish the job! 😳🤭 Hopefully Monty does not feel the need to be a goat and munch on the displays! Onwards to far more enjoyable things, I binge listened to all your podcast episodes today, Janey, they are so good!! I have to say, as always, your explanations and way of presenting information is so very good, however when you also have a guest, your energy just bounces off them and you reach peak infotainment. Can’t wait to see how this side of DWPR continues to develop 🌱💚
Oh, don't give up on your fountain! You can use some waterproof caulk or something to fix it. Try! Something that beautiful deserves some tenacity.
Don't give up on the fountain. Let Jason try his hand at it - if it really doesn't work you can always plant something trailing in it. I think it is beautiful.
The fried egg plant is blooming! Yeah so cool!
The fountain would be pretty with a fern sat down inside the bowl. Beautiful structure.❤
Good morning. Have you considered planting the tallest grass in front of the propane tank?
Great idea 💡
I thought the same thing… painting it (so that it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb) and planting a swoop of grasses would be a fantastic way to soften that up!
That MONSTER could be planted around the propane tank!
Hi, You can fix your lion head by finding the leak and putting silicone in that letting it dry completely and it will plug up the leak.
You do such a great job teaching and explaining everything you do. I never get tired of watching you.
Hi, fountains often need a cement sealer because they are porous. Check with Lowe’s, they maybe able to help you. Keep the fountain it’s a beautiful focal point in your secret shade garden.
Janey your excitement about those last 5 grasses was palpable!! Love that!
I hope you can fix your fountain - it'll be so nice in the shade garden this summer 🙂
Everything is coming along in your garden!
Good morning, my bus ride into work routine. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden. Have a beautiful day
The beauty with the Lionhead Fountain compliments your side yard- perfect container to put in your favorite succulents💐
I believe water features are one of the most important parts of making a garden beautiful. That being said I say get rid or or repurpose the fountain somewhere else and find a fountain you absolutely love. You will be so happy you did. Good luck!
Grasses will transform your space! Everything is looking fabulous. 😊
Fun grasses! Something I have never considered for my garden. Hummmmmm.....
Janey, maybe the tube that is feeding up into the lion's mouth is simply to short and causing some of the water to fall back into the interior? Would replacing with a longer piece of tubing, one that almost slightly protrudes from the lion's mouth possibly stop the leakage? Good luck!
Love how Monty enjoys when you water your plants. He’s so adorable.
Janey I can’t wait to watch everything fill in! Deanna
Janey, in the fall, you should sprinkle Californian poppy seeds in the Best of the West garden! That would be such a beautiful show in the spring.
Love Monty!
I agree about the fountain … there must be a sealant to use And if that fails, it would be a beautiful planter! 👩🌾🥰
Ls
Janey I just want you to know that I may be single-handedly boosting your view counts…I have an 8 month old baby at home and most days I will start and re-start one of your videos multiple times before I’m actually able to get through it 😂🤣 the baby says “you’re welcome!” LOL

Love the way you get so excited when you see your plants.
I really like the music you are adding!
It is amazing what all you and Jason have accomplished in such a short time. Beautiful gardens.
Place is really starting to show blooms 😊❤
🌿Fantastic 🌿
Oh Janey!!! It is all coming together. It's gorgeous!
Everything is looking great so good to see Jason and Monty on the job 😊

It's all very beautiful ❤️

There are also pretty native California grasses like Bouteloua 'blond ambition' or fescues like 'Patrick's Point'.
Love making rooms with the grasses! And the poppies Wow!!!
That fringe flower is part of learning what is not best for the west. Love your channel!
lol .. for just a quick moment when I saw all the PW pots/plants in the video .. I thought you wear at a garden centre. Then I realized .. that these are yours that you still have to be planted. 😁🪴 The grasses will be beautiful and I know you’ll be able to fix the fountain
Just gorgeous but Girl get to plantin… that’s a ton of new plants! 😂
If the fountain isn't fixable then plant it up as a container. it will look beautiful! Best time to pulling weeds is right after a good rain.
Love the Grass I have a few and love them my jasmine is full as well
Use the fountain as a decorative planter. 😁
Hi Janey plant some things in the lion fountain
Put plants that cascade out of the fountain if you can’t fix it.
You could plant it up as suggested and put bowl of water in the larger basin with a small floating pump.
On your fountain you can maybe put a plant in the basin. It still looks pretty. Just a thought.
I am so worried that all those plants are not in the garden .Plant plant keep planting. I hope the all do well for you...💚
I’m worried about them sitting on the blacktop that gets so hot.
I was just thinking exactly the same….as temps go up, all these plants will suffer!😢😂
I bought about 25 plants 3 days ago to plant on my hill. I get side tracked and have to weed and trim before planting them. I still have several to plant and it’s only been 3 days and I’m am concerned they aren’t in the ground. When I saw all those plants I thought the same thing! I hope Janey can get them in the ground before the heat comes! Have Jason dig the holes and you plant ❤❤❤
Go Janey go! It's supposed to be 90 degrees by friday... no pressure☀😎
When you walked around the fruit tree, I got it! That’s why you planted them there! It also helped when you walked down the path to be I saw your vision! 🌼🐝
Janey and Jason, congratulations on your new venture. You are a great team. Love watching your UA-cam channel every morning you always have something new to show us. Thank you. Jackie
Beautiful great hobbies habits thanks .

It is looking great! Good job!
Girl look at all those plants! Wow will be gorgeous when you get all planted.
Chào bạn, khu vườn của bạn có nhiều hoa đẹp quá ❤❤❤
Chinese fringe flower might like more shade. I grew it in zone 9 in Texas in our wooded back yard and it did very well.
So much fun! I bought 3 lemon squeeze and put them right outside at the corner of my sunroom window. I hope they do well in that spot for me. Look forward to seeing how all your plants grow over the next few months!!

Grasses are beautiful! You can also divide some of them and get free plants (I was able to divide mine, but not sure if it applies to all varieties).
Can’t wait to see them fill in! Monty is so cute!!! ❤
Everything is just amazing!!!!♥️♥️♥️
Looking great Jannie! Sorry about the fountain being a pain they usually are🥴 make sure the top water isn’t running along the bottom of the bowl toward the back where the two pieces set on each other.

Sometimes you need to adjust the tilt of the upper fountain forward to create the flow two run over straight down! Hope this makes sense. Good luck👍😎❤️
Omg, yes, love grasses, just had an idea, how about growing some in front or around the tank for some visual distraction.
Everything is beautiful! I particularly enjoyed the views of you walking us down the meandering pathways. All the color is nice and your garden is filling in nicely. 👏🏽👏🏽 The pan views are pretty striking too. The garden will be striking in a matter of weeks 🎉
Those tall grasses would look great against your dark fence

I love grasses 🌾 and i am planting some up here in 5b soon! Love how everything is turning out Janey ❤ SAVE the fountain ⛲️
Oh that's lovely Janey well done it's coming on amazing in a short time ❤
Janey, have you considered using a 6’ (could be smaller) stick, dowel rod, shoe mold, etc…, marked with 1’ increments, to use as your measuring stick? I’ve added markings to my favorite shovel, really helpful.
Pretty picture of you planting behind the pink Salvia!!
❤love that you post at this time!❤
I have leg pain from my stress fracture ❤ always wake up around this time after planting but love gardening!
Your property is looking awesome and how great it is to see Jason working along side you!❤
Janey, if you're totally over the fountain because of the water issues, fill it with succulents, as you had indicated to Robbie you would love to do in a fountain at some future date. Maybe the future is now! It would look beautiful and be so less stressful.
I hope J's. matching overalls are in the mail. He has to have his own gardening pair. 😊 The garden is coming along beautifully. You guys have did a great job.
My favorite grass is Pink Muhly.

If you can find the leak, use plumber’s putty to fix the leak. I have used that on fountains. It is very pliable.
Wonderful! Just perfect additions!
Love the grasses you planted. They really do add so much! I was so hoping you would plant the monster grass in front of that annoying propane tank. I think what Robbie was trying to say, is that video does not do your property justice. Not like seeing it in person.Hope Jason can repair the fountain as it is the centerpiece of your shade garden.

I really appreciate you sharing the tag info as you point out different plants.
Gardening requires GREAT patience!!!!!! Since your creating a marvelous.....garden, ❤
You can use the fountain to plant succulents 😊
Your Jasmine looks wonderful!! Everything is filling in so nicely in your whole garden!!
Omg I love it all. What an inspiration ❤
I was so happy to see you and your family at the Pence Gallery Garden Tour yesterday! I look forward to starting my days with your beautiful and informative videos. Thank you, Janey!
JB Weld or maybe waterproof silicone could fix any leaks if you can find where it is leaking.
I think the monster being closer to the driveway is much better than the first spot you set it down. The fringe flower moving elsewhere makes the grass more centered in the space!

So sorry about the fountain. Maybe you can plant succulents, you wanted a succulent fountain.😊
Good morning Janey, Jason 🐕
Those grasses are going to look amazing your gardens are starting to look great how's Robie the Willow doing? Have a great rest of the day, 🙂👋
Maybe Robbie can give you some tips on the fountain ? Maybe add some food coloring to the fountain water so you can see where it’s leaking and put some silicone there ? Good luck ! 💐💚🙃
The monster is back! I’m so happy!
🥹😭 The grasses look fantastic! 😊

I definitely don’t have room for a monster but I want one so bad 🤣
