Hi Vada. Cool! Can't wait to see what you have this year. The variety of Coleus that available now are truly amazing. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
You can collect the Zinnia seeds, it's easy. Just save the bottom row of seeds once the flower is dry on the top. Put in paper bag to finish drying. It will save you tons of dollars the following year. I sowed some the other day that I collected two years ago and they are up. I am going to direct sow some now I know they are viable seeds. Cosmos are lovely too. I am planting some this week. I bought a few poppy and dahlia seeds. I can't wait to see how they turn out. My first time of doing them by seed. I am excited about gardening this year. Thanks for the garden update, loved it. :)
Hi Mary. We will double check or Zinnias more carefully as they begin to dry and see how many seeds we can actually harvest. Thanks for the info. Keep us posted on how well your dahlia seeds do this year. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Ya we need to be greatful for our weather and pray for the others that had the flooding. I was watching were they were revu Resucuing the animals and people and it put me in tears. I hate to see others suffing
Amen Hope. The number of communities, families, individuals and animals that have suffered through hurricanes, flooding, forest fires and personal tragic events recently is appalling. No one wants to see anyone suffer. Perhaps this is just a wake-up call that all of us need to truly come together, help our neighbors, and respect one another. Thank again you for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Thanks for your thoughts and concerns for NC. I live in Raleigh and busy helping those in need in the flooded areas providing clothing and other supplies. Love your channel it's a nice diversion from all the tragedy
Hi Wesley. The images we see on the evening news are beyond imagination as to the horror and the mess communities are left with. So glad to hear you are alright and able to help others in need. We need more of this kind of love and eliminate division being played out elsewhere. Hopefully, we won't need an Alien invasion to bring and keep us all together. Stay dry, warm and safe. We send you our hugs and prayers. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
@@WisconsinGarden thanks again for your concern. Rest assured there is lots of people helping our here from all over the US. Nice to know when Americans are going g thru trials that we abandon our politics and rise to the occasion to help others in need.
Oh do I have zinnia envy or what? Mine did not do so well this year. I'm so glad yours did well so I could enjoy them vicariously! You garden looks as beautiful as always! Thank you for sharing!
Well thank you. Considering this was the 4th hottest summer on record, we're amazed at how well so many plants and vegetables did, especially after an unusually cool and wet spring. Mother Nature must enjoy watching all of us figure out how to adjust to seasonal challenges. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard

Hi Lucie. After all our major public presentations it was nice to find some free time to get back in the garden. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Lynn enjoyed your September garden tour your garden Is all ways so lovely to look at I love all your zinnias they really flourished this year. I planted some In my garden this past summer they really did well the butterfly's loved them as I was watching and listening to your video I could not help but to hear your wind chimes that were hanging In your tree making music. I collect wind chimes They soothing to the ear.
Hi Jackie. Richard bought that really large wind chime for our 50th. It truly is delightful working in the front gardens or taking the dogs out and listening to those deep beautiful sounds. Zen peaceful. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
I’ve got a hibiscus like your red one & it’s sterile. The bloom pods just drop off shortly after the flower petals fall out. They’re breeding/selling a lot more sterile varieties. Really enjoyed seeing how everything looks for the start of Fall! Such an enjoyable landscape you’ve both created. Thanks so much for sharing this w/us!
Hi Nia. At least we can divide the giant hibiscus from their roots to propagate and expand. Thank you for your very kind words and for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Some years my hibiscus make seeds and other years not. Not sure why. Two years ago, I collected tons of seeds from all my hibiscus. Last year and this year, nothing.
Breathtaking garden with varieties of plants...loved the tour... Try handpollinating the hibiscus flowers...I rubbed two flowers on to each other..after 3 weeks, i could collect seeds and the seeds germinated tooo...easy way to propogate
Hi Lynn and Richard. The burgundy leafed plant I gave you is called Perilla, Shiso. It is an herb and edible. It is an annual that REALLY reseeds a lot. Sorry to say BUT I think you waited too long to cut the Perilla back. It's light color you are showing us means it has dried already and dropped most of its seeds. I warned you that it was a 'go crazy' annual. I, too, have waited too long to pull mine out. Soooooooooooo I will be pulling young plants in Spring. They really come out easy when they are young. In most of my 2018 videos you will see that I had a lot of plants this year. Love the color and fills large areas quickly. Take care. I enjoyed your tour.
Thanks for the Perilla Shiso ID. The incorrect ID was the closest we could find as a look-a-like. It truly does spread, but love the burgundy color. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi Latoya. For us too, it's kind of difficult after 850 videos to decide what to film and share. Since we enjoy other monthly tours we will continue ours as well, at least for now. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Isn't that funny, the Shiso! I never heard of Shiso, then today I watched Volunteer Gardener and saw how a gardener here in Tennessee raises it specifically for a Japanese restaurant in Nashville. Now it's on Wisconsin Garden vlog. The world is be coming a smaller place all the time. Enjoyed the tour. God Bless.
Enjoyed your September tour last night. Definitely need to plant giant Zinnias next year. Also will be looking for the hardy hibiscus for my garden. Sedum looks great, as does your entire gardens! Surprised you don't have any Bee balm. I've never had any luck with mums. Love learning from you both.
Hi Penny. Thanks for all your kind words of encouragement. We do have small areas of bee balm scattered in our gardens. Just not as prolific as we would eventually want them to become. But in time, they too will let their presence known. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
I have had the same thing happen to me with mums for the last 3 years. All saying they were cold hardy. Not the case. Not sure what the issue is with marketing these plants, but I have just decided that I will buy what I need each season for now.
Hi Betsy. To say we were disappointed by the labeling and marketing, is an understatement. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hello again Lyn &Richard love your garden as usual just to tell you about my Montello tomatoes they did actually do ok the seed company said they got too much sun at the beginning. But I got 19lbs of tomatoes from one plant. A lovely chrysanthemum you could try if you could get is a cerise single called Jessie Cooper I picked some two weeks ago and they are still going strong I forgot to change the water and the vase was dry but the flowers were still going . Hope you can get one
I wouldn't dare compare your garden with mine or anyone else's as yours outshines all I've seen. The, Senna I'm wondering if it's the one used for laxatives? I loved your elephant ears and that's the only thing in my yard bigger than yours. At 9 feet tall and 6 babies our biggest just beat it's old record. Thanks for the video, sure have missed you two and hope your feeling good. Much love and peace, blessings. ♡☆♡☆♡
Hi Wilma. Every garden is a blessing where size really doesn't matter when you love what you have. Senna leaves can be used in tea we're told to relieve constipation. So I guess using the word laxative would be reasonable. Got to love gigantic Elephant Ear Leave - they are impressive, especially here in Wisconsin a non-tropical zone. We're happy were found some time to create more videos now that all of our major presentation are completed, although we still have a garden presentation to do in a couple of weeks. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Doesn't it seem like we just started the season and here we are, September. Hard to go out and garden lately with those nasty little tiny black bugs. Heavy storms went through our area of Iowa last night and had a 30 degree drop in temps but suppose to be really nice again. Happy to see you both.
Hi Elaine. Today the cold front went through and now it's 62, a far cry from 80 yesterday and 91 on Monday. Actually pretty nice outside barring those dang mosquitos. Great to be back after all our major presentations and prep. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi Barbara. Yes, it is nice to finally have some free time from all our major public presentations. Still one more gardening presentation in a couple of weeks. Maybe I can start dead-heading plants soon. The majority of Zinnias did well this year and we're very pleased. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi Jackie. In some ways it does, but we're often spoiled by other seasons of comparison. But thanks. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
This is Gene from Pennsylvania I have the 30 gardens at memorial Park and on the mums one side look for that come back are the daisy they seem to come back the best I just want to let you know I'll talk to you later thank you bye-bye enjoy your shows
Thank you for your tip, Gene. We like mums a lot so we will be looking at the flower types to see if we find the same to be true. so far the only ones that have come back are the very old variety we've had for decades and the new variety, Mammoth Mums that did very well last season. Thanks again for taking the time to watch, care and share - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Hi Isa. When it come to the TomatoBerry, we do eat them like candy. Super sweet and delicious. It is one of the tomato varieties we look forward to planting and eating every year since we found them at our local nursery. But I like your idea of dipping them in chocolate first. Can't begin to imagine eating anything sweeter. Maybe we will try it before they are all gone. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi Wendy. There are several brands available that all accomplish the same goal. We decided to use Bonide Copper Fungicide to address peach leaf curl. Here's a related article. homeguides.sfgate.com/copper-spray-fruit-trees-53005.html Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi Latoya. Sorry but the 'S' word is forbidden around Richard. It's one of his words in exile. Seriously, is it snowing where you are? If so, I won't mention it to him. If it is, he'd be sure to send his sympathies. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi Nina. Had many others but now we thoroughly like our 9-tray Excalibur because of capacity size and timer. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OV4FD0/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B008OV4FD0&linkCode=as2&tag=inli-20 Enjoy!

deet is poison there are several essential oils you can mix with coconut oil that are not only great for your skin, but are natural pesticides, lavender, and oregano oil are two of them, but there are so many.
Yes Steve, we're currently working with our daughter Lace, who represents essential oils, and will be testing several formulas this coming years. We use them everyday in our home, drinks, and topical lotions. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi Nathan. Much has to do where and how the winds circulate across the World. Some of ours are just starting to be effected by powdery mildew because of all the rain and moisture we've had recently. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi April. Early Spring and Early Fall are always a great time to move and plant Hostas. Hostas are very durable plants as long as they are listed as hardy for your growing zone. While Hostas prefer being planted in shaded area, depending upon the variety, many can also do well in partial shade. We even have some that seem to thrive in full morning/noon sun. If of concern, many new varieties are deer and rabbit resistant. They prefer well drained, rich organic soil as opposed to hard clay soils. Just remember to water, not over-water, frequently through fall to give the plant time to set roots. You can also add a couple of inches of bark mulch, shredded leaves or straw to help retain even moisture. We occasionally fertilize all of our berm plants with a local product called Milorganite but other plant food and fertilizers are available at your local garden center. Check the clumps you're about to move for slugs and grubs and cut back all the dead hosta leaves before the snow flies. Other essential oils can also repel unwanted pests. Have fun planting. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi Judy. That depends upon where you live. Here in Wisconsin that would be too late for the seed plants to grow and bloom. However, if you live in a warmer climate, depending upon your weather, it' possible they could grow year-round. While we'd love to send you our video links, there wouldn't be enough room to do so here. We think you'd enjoy having access to videos that would be of interest to you since you're a first-time gardeners. If you'd like we would love to send it to you. Email lynn@WisconsinGarden.com as we'll get a free copy to you ASAP. Lynn
Hi Son. It makes us feel loved that you've taken time to watch our garden videos. Their sunflower was huge. Hope you get your photo with the flower head when they cut it down. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Mom & Pa
Hi Carolyn. We assume you're talking about plant markers. You will need a Brother Label Maker which comes with software and instructions. Very easy to create. Then you'll need plant markers which we purchase online from Kincaide Plant Markers Link www.KincaidPlantMarkers.com/plant-markers. Say Hi to Gary and his son Jeff for us. Hope this helps. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Hi Robina. Since our soil is mainly composed of leaf mulch and grass clippings, we do not fertilize anything. We often use Milorganite for our lawn. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard

Hi Nathan. Much has to do where and how the winds circulate across the World. Some of ours are just starting to be effected by powdery mildew because of all the rain and moisture we've had recently. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard

Wanted to see how your plumeria’s were doing?
As mentioned, the Hawaiian Plumeria video was done at least 4-5 years ago and didn't survive. TKS Lynn & Richard
I have a question, is it better to move hosta's in the spring or fall?
Hi April. Early Spring and Early Fall are always a great time to move and plant Hostas. Hostas are very durable plants as long as they are listed as hardy for your growing zone. While Hostas prefer being planted in shaded area, depending upon the variety, many can also do well in partial shade. We even have some that seem to thrive in full morning/noon sun. If of concern, many new varieties are deer and rabbit resistant. They prefer well drained, rich organic soil as opposed to hard clay soils. Just remember to water, not over-water, frequently through fall to give the plant time to set roots. You can also add a couple of inches of bark mulch, shredded leaves or straw to help retain even moisture. We occasionally fertilize all of our berm plants with a local product called Milorganite but other plant food and fertilizers are available at your local garden center. Check the clumps you're about to move for slugs and grubs and cut back all the dead hosta leaves before the snow flies. Other essential oils can also repel unwanted pests. Have fun planting. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
1st Time gardener...I Planted zinnias in Mid Aug..will they bloom????Am i late???
Hi Judy. That depends upon where you live. Here in Wisconsin that would be too late for the seed plants to grow and bloom. However, if you live in a warmer climate, depending upon your weather, it' possible they could grow year-round.
While we'd love to send you our video links, there wouldn't be enough room to do so here. We think you'd enjoy having access to videos that would be of interest to you since you're a first-time gardeners.
If you'd like we would love to send it to you. Email lynn@WisconsinGarden.com as we'll get a free copy to you ASAP. Lynn
Did u see Judy and Jims monstrosity of a sunflower. Looks like she could climb where Jack once climbed
Hi Son. It makes us feel loved that you've taken time to watch our garden videos. Their sunflower was huge. Hope you get your photo with the flower head when they cut it down. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Mom & Pa
Do you have a video or know where I could get the instructions on how to make plant signs
Hi Carolyn. We assume you're talking about plant markers. You will need a Brother Label Maker which comes with software and instructions. Very easy to create. Then you'll need plant markers which we purchase online from Kincaide Plant Markers Link www.KincaidPlantMarkers.com/plant-markers. Say Hi to Gary and his son Jeff for us. Hope this helps. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
What fertiliser do you use in the flowers and shrubs
Hi Robina. Since our soil is mainly composed of leaf mulch and grass clippings, we do not fertilize anything. We often use Milorganite for our lawn. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Are you going to be giving liatris seeds for a SASE this year?
Hi Sandy. We will have to wait and see how the weather affects harvesting seeds. We will be sure to mention the offer in an upcoming video if and when seeds are available. Please stay tuned. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
