“The galoshes are out of stock, so it’s time for another garden project,” she said, dancing in her black dress. boots.

The Yorkshire mum revealed she made her garden look beautiful last year but said her gazebo was destroyed in a storm.

So, to liven things up in time for summer, the 28-year-old bought a brand new pergola from Wilko.

Despite instructions stating that the pergola was a two-person job, Jodie set to work assembling it alone.

She explained that last year she had built gazebos, but thought the pergola would be more durable, as she could simply pull the fabric back in case of a storm.

“Last year, I might as well have stood outside with the money in my hand and let it explode, because that’s technically what happened,” she said.

With help from her neighbors and her “mystery man”, Jodie was able to quickly get the pergola up and use it as a cover for her stylish garden furniture set.

Elsewhere in her garden, Jodie also installed a small pond, decorated with plants and pebbles.

She also has a huge vegetable garden, with peas, broccoli, garlic, tomatoes and more.

“It’s all starting to show and I’m so excited to eat my own vegetables again,” she said.

Jodie’s vegetables all grow in circular beds, which she bought from Temu, and she also has lots of flower beds, which are starting to bloom.
