Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Your Japanese maples are spectacular! Your entire garden is The Highlight of the show. It’s almost as if your surrounding beautiful fall wooded area is glowing to show off your garden.🥰🥰🥰
Your gardens transformed into fall colors beautifully! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with your followers. It is greatly appreciated along with the video.
Thank you so much Mary!! and thank you for always being here and watching 💚 You have a beautiful garden as well! I can't wait to see those new blue junipers grow in your garden.
Steph- your gardens are looking so stunning! Equally now as in summer. The color in the jap maples is beautiful along with the backdrop of trees it looks like a painting. If I had more land I would be adding more jap maples to my 2. They give so much interest and your ferns are amazing!! I also love the hardy mum. Will love to see how the Mandeville does if you overwinter them. Thanks for sharing and always inspiring ❤️
I'm watching again so I can write down plant/tree names, loving your trees and gorgeous fall colors. And your garden is gorgeous even with plants dying back, so don't appologize 💚🍁🌾🍂🌿🌲
The vibrant colors in your garden are absolutely impressive and gorgeous. It was warm and nice this past week in Massachusetts. 😊Thank you so much for sharing the growing tips of Gomphrena!!! I also grow some Gomphrena this year which attracted so many pollinators.
Hi there! Yes we were fortunate to have a beautiful weekend last week. This weekend is looking like another good gardening weekend, a bit cooler, but no rain. Thank you so much for your kind words about my garden. Gomphrena is awesome!! Glad you enjoyed it.
You say tired, I say Beautiful. For me who has mainly a tropical garden in Australia, I just love all the Fall colours in the background & your garden beds. Amazing, love all the Maples also. Thank you for a beautiful video.
Hi Marie, You are so right. It really is beautiful. Also, its so common place here where I live to have this fall foliage in such beautiful colors that I sometimes don't realize that this doesn't happen everywhere. Thank you for bringing that to light for me, we are really lucky to be surrounded by such beauty. Thank you SO much! 💚🍂🍁
Absolutely stunning and beautifully designed you definitely have made me fall in love with evergreens and Japanese Maple trees! I am in love with my recent purchase of the Toshiba Japanese Maple and golden mop cypress 😊
Hi Steph, for the end of Oct tour things look pretty good, your house and property are beautiful. On my end out here in Ca. Ive just planted some cool weather flowers for the first time. Snaps, violas, etc. never planted 6pks in the fall before so Iĺl be curious to see if they thrive.
Thanks for sharing your fall garden with us, Steph. Your beautiful garden against the backdrop of trees in all their autumn glory is absolutely gorgeous this time of year. I will definitely be adding the Dancing Peacock Japanese maple tree on my garden must haves list!
Thanks Steph! A rainy unmotivated Saturday near Cleveland Ohio and your video was just what I needed! I love watching your gardens grow!! The maples are really taking off. And you have the gomphrena green thumb!! Amazing
Thank you so much, and thank you for being here and watching. The gomphrena is so easy to grow and an annual that just gives so much for the small investment in a pack of seeds. Hope you get a sunny day soon!!
If you cut your mandevilla back it might not be as cumbersome to overwinter. I also like the atomic gomphrena better than the white. I am going to try it next summer.
Hi Stef, it's Missi. I moved my hinoki cypress to all day sun area. When I dug it up, the roots were really wet, whoo. It was at the corner of the house & I figured the overflow water from the roof was coming down over it. Tk u 4 your input.
I hope to see a tutorial on how to plant Gomphrenas this winter! I attempted by hot pink gomphrenas last year. I planted 40 of my own seeds and only 4 came up. Your raspberry ripple zinnias are gorgeous too!
Loving your fall tour! I'm soo jealous of your trees and all their gorgeous colors! I am watching wondering if you might consider another walk thru explaining what and when and how, you will cut things back to prepare for winter? I learn so much from you!
Hi Becky, Thank you so much!! In the past I had cut things back in fall. However, I've come to learn that its much less work to cut back perennials in Spring once they have had time to dry up. The material is alot lighter then to pick up and dispose of. Also, late winter/early spring is when most things can be pruned. It does depend on what your growing as to when it can be pruned. For example, if you have lilacs, you would wait to prune those until right after they bloom. Otherwise you would be pruning off their blooms. Same with some types of hydrangeas, like the macrophylla, and even the oak leaf, those bloom on old wood (last years wood), therefore incorrect pruning time could sacrafice your blooms. The only plants in my garden that I will be pruning/cutting back this fall will be the taller ornamental grasses. Its been my experience that they make quite a mess if left up over winter and the grasses fly all over the garden/yard. Also, leaving up perennials and dropped leaves and not cleaning up until spring provides great winter habitat for wildlife and insects. Hope this helps.
@@HookedandRooted thank you so much for this great information! I was mainly wondering about lilacs, butterfly bush, and hydrangeas so that helps a ton!!
Your roses are beautiful. I’m zone 6, Kentucky and my blushing pink knockout is still beautiful. My At Last rose too. You might need to try it. Lovely garden.
HOLY FERNS!!!! I suggest you leave them right there in those containers...cut them down in November, mulch them and then watch out for the fronds in and around April. I have similar ones tight in a rock wall - I cut them down, mulch them. Remember they have been around since the Jurassic period so whatever you do you should just leave them where they love it. 6B
Steph your gardens are magnificent & the back drop of beautiful trees with their vibrant colors is so perfect. I love your sons Halloween decorations too , so sweet.
Glad you called the one i was curious about by name in this vid (Katsura) you didn'"t in last video :) Lovely tree, just bit to big (my garden is really small compared to yours) Hopefully Orange dream will do the trick (similar). Was gonna go for Shirawasanum Moonfire but you make me doublt to go for Autumn moon, it seems stronger in colours. Fireflow is also on my list since not to big, but it can still be 5 meters so i will keep watch in the growth yours does to make decision. Maybe Rhode island red (smallest relative big leave red maple). Did you prune that Fireglow in frontyard? It looks tick stem, yet very short but filled with new branches, my gut feeling says it has to be pruned, if so, gj, i love it, i might 'dare' to buy one then (i can't allow it much bigger in my small garden). I have Acer Japonicum Aconitifolium (love everything about this one). Orange dream Skeeters broom (upright but dwarf, perfect for my garden) Osakazuki (kind to big, but i bought a multistem (6 stems, vigorous with low growth) and will let it loose energy in all those stems, the top ones where cut already in factory, kinda good, preventing instant big branches, any branch that grows 1 meter per year (with no side branches) i will remove, those are the source of fast growth (bloodgood has this also). Also got it what i think 'Takao' (shop doesnt give it cultivar). Not special but i love the vigorous growth and the one i bought has an incredible nice starting stem (Splits in two strong upright branches immediately splitting into 2 and 3 branches forming 5 very strong upward branches with minimal chance of falling over. I will experiment pruning top to keep it small.
Another wonderful video!! I am looking for mid height flowers with high impact for the edge of my beds. I absolutely need to grow gomphrena next year! It will be perfect! I hope you’ll bring us along for dahlia digging and storing. All of my tubers died last year and I’m thinking it’s because I didn’t account for humidity. Hoping to save mine from this year for next year
Hi! I do plan on sharing the storing of my dahlias. While I'm fairly new to dahlias (growing them for about 4 years now), I have learned a few things and I'm happy to share. Gomphrena is great! I hope you try them next season. Thank you!!
The sweet flag ogon was that a box store find? It is beautiful. Love that they are evergreen. So much beautiful fall color that’s just in your backdrop from nature. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there! Yes, I found it at the Home Depot. It also divides really easily. I started with 3 and have divided it multiple times already. Thank you so much!!
Erin, a beautiful fall garden tour I live in Minnesota 4b and very fortunate to enjoy fall leaf color. I would like to select plant Japanese maples next year I’m pushing the growing zone hoping to find a micro climate area for them. I experience deer pressure off and on my question is do the deer nibble on your maples? Should I prepare to add deer spikes or spray. Thank you
Hi there! I don't want to jinx it, but the deer mostly go after my hydrangeas and other plants. However, I will say that I put out those deer spikes (from a previous video), and I also spray pretty regularly to hopefully keep them away. Its certainly a challenge especially during winter when they get extra hungry. You cover more area with spray as the spikes can get expensive to cover large areas. I find they work best when placed further out to create a perimeter, and they also work better with shorter plants. I really like the invisible fence deer and rabbit. Just don't spray on a windy day. Its very stinky, but effective: amzn.to/3Snr7H2
That dogwood you have...I have three and let me tell you once they start growing LOOK OUT!!! Gorgeous dogwoods in about 4-years you’ll walk out there and go, “omg what happened?”
Stunning! How do u over winter yr ferns. I have two by my garage they are gorgeous I hate to pull them out and toss them. I live in New Hampshire. Also I have ladies mantle and they have seeded very well maybe too well. I plan on transplanting some to other areas. But how can I keep them in clumps like yours and do I cut them down to the ground. Thank you
Hi Denise, I made this video last year about overwintering my ferns. If they don't get much humidity they do tend to dry up a bit and drop foliage, which can get messy. But they are certainly a good candidate for wintering over. The ladies mantle, They will grow into a little mound that way from one seedling. I think moving them around and transplanting would be a good idea. If your able, that could be done now, or you can wait until spring. Here's the fern video: ruclips.net/video/PSEj3sFGxzU/видео.htmlsi=eZKrIFW0s4CJ8tnw
Thank you for the lovely fall garden tour. What is the name of the tall green evergreen in the front corner of your house, behind the new grass that you just planted, just down from your white gymphryna ? It probably 3/4 of the way through your video?
Hi there! Thank you so much! It is a hinoki cypress. However the variety I'm not certain of since it was one of the very first evergreens we planted and I didn't keep the tag.
Love your yard and videos. I was wondering if your gomphrena seeds that you collected last fall sprouted for you this year. I’m about to collect some seeds from mine. Thanks
Hi Shannon, Thank you so much! Yes, the seeds that were collected in Fall from my purple gomphrena I grew last year, did germinate! I didn't grow them in my garden, but gave some to a friend, and she grew them.
Hi ! Your last acer looks like a Garnett, it's nice that it grew back ! So now I'm thinking this could happen to my orange dream ? I might have to have a look at what's left of it in it's pot :)
Hi Steph! Love your japanese maples!! How are the deers 🦌 behaving? Do they leave them alone? I want some in pots and they are doing great but I'm always afraid to plant some in the ground. Thank you!
Hi there! So far its going ok, I do have to be more careful and spray deer spray throughout the winter since that's when food is scarce for them. They have nibbled on the JM's on occasion, but seem to be more interested in other plants in my garden, like hydrangeas for example.
Beautiful gardens! I have enjoyed watching them change from season to season through the years. Do you have a link to where you got your Vince memorial stone? We lost our pup in July & want to put a stone where he liked to hangout.
Hi Lisa,Thank you so much!! I'm so sorry for the loss of your pup. Its never easy, they are such a large part of our family. We purchased the stone from this website: www.4everinmyheart.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4vKpBhCZARIsAOKHoWSGq0iZ5c63du_pyI3UJH7YGtCU_3hQj1CJsK7H8jkVm4dqZdC_EZAaAgAsEALw_wcB
Hi Wanda! I have asked my husband George this before. I believe its a mix of fescue and kentucky bluegrass. We've over seeded a few times in Fall, so he thinks there's quite a mix at this point. Thank you so much!!
Although the season is coming to an end. It still looks nice... What was the name of the grass in your garden that likes moisture and also said rabbits and deer don't like it... thanks got the info😊
Hi Paula! Thank you so much!! That plant is Sweet Flag Ogon 'Acorus'. I purchased it at the Home Depot and its a great plant. You can see it in my garden here and I give some additional details at 10:03 ruclips.net/video/pUn2fmHWbZY/видео.htmlsi=0hi6nbFyMyK8ZNob
Steph! Where are the Japanese maples planted? South facing, north facing, full sun in summer? I got a space for one: there are Japanese andromeda’s (yes, divas) planted there - huge ornamental grasses that do very well all year round (the “winter interest” ones I described that you also had) and a space where its blank, right next to it that a pee gee hydrangea died (due to poor drainage) however...nepita + the grasses + rudbeckia do very well. I have to be sure that this plant will thrive. Any information from your sister 6b is very helpful.
I love Japanese maples, but I am always afraid to plant them because of it's cost and the fear that they won't survive the PA summer. What is the condition of your Japanese maple garden? Full sun? Part shade? It would be helpful to know the sun situation that you have! Thank you! ❤
In PA, I believe you are a similar zone to me, a 6? If so most of them are pretty hardy. I can only speak to the varieities I'm growing in my garden, but they do well for me here. The area where I have most of mine planted is morning shade and afternoon sun. while ideally it would be the other way around as most of them prefer morning sun and afternoon shade. But its working out ok. Some of the lighter varieties do get some leaf scorch from the sun, overtime as they aclimate, they should burn up less. Hope this helps! A coral bark japanese maple, and a bloodgood is a less fussy variety and very commonly found. These could be a good way to start with some JM's in your garden. Hope this helps.
If you cut down your hardy hibiscus you are risking it from getting root rot, during wet winters moisture will run down the hollow stems and sit causing root rot. It's best to cut them back in Spring.
Hi Steph, the name for the variegated Dogwood Celestial Shadow (Hybrid) Tree, fully grown 15-20 ft tall, 10-20 ft wide,zones 5-9, sun to partial shade mutation of Cornus Florida x kausa. I have a small one in my garden but mine it’s struggling 😢
Hi Ingrid! Yes! Thats the other variety I have jotted down as the trees potential name. Thank you so much! I hope yours does a bit better. I had that one planted in a spot that was a bit dry and got full sun. I moved it about 2 years ago to the backyard, where now its an understory tree (gets a bit more protection from the full sun), and the soil there is also more moist and its growing much better. Hope this helps.
novice gardener here, living in VA, when you say "over winter", are you meaning just in a garage to stay out of colder temps/ bad snowy weather, more info please. ( ;

I experience deer pressure off and on my question is do the deer nibble on your maples? Should I prepare to add deer spikes or spray. Thank you
Hi there! I don't want to jinx it, but the deer mostly go after my hydrangeas and other plants. However, I will say that I put out those deer spikes (from a previous video), and I also spray pretty regularly to hopefully keep them away. Its certainly a challenge especially during winter when they get extra hungry. You cover more area with spray as the spikes can get expensive to cover large areas. I find they work best when placed further out to create a perimeter, and they also work better with shorter plants. I really like the invisible fence deer and rabbit. Just don't spray on a windy day. Its very stinky, but effective: amzn.to/3Snr7H2
That dogwood you have...I have three and let me tell you once they start growing LOOK OUT!!! Gorgeous dogwoods in about 4-years you’ll walk out there and go, “omg what happened?”
Fingers crossed they grow a bit faster as they age. Currently they've been slow to get going. So glad to hear this 💚
Stunning! How do u over winter yr ferns. I have two by my garage they are gorgeous I hate to pull them out and toss them. I live in New Hampshire. Also I have ladies mantle and they have seeded very well maybe too well. I plan on transplanting some to other areas. But how can I keep them in clumps like yours and do I cut them down to the ground. Thank you
Hi Denise, I made this video last year about overwintering my ferns. If they don't get much humidity they do tend to dry up a bit and drop foliage, which can get messy. But they are certainly a good candidate for wintering over. The ladies mantle, They will grow into a little mound that way from one seedling. I think moving them around and transplanting would be a good idea. If your able, that could be done now, or you can wait until spring. Here's the fern video: ruclips.net/video/PSEj3sFGxzU/видео.htmlsi=eZKrIFW0s4CJ8tnw
Thank you 🌹
Thank you for the lovely fall garden tour. What is the name of the tall green evergreen in the front corner of your house, behind the new grass that you just planted, just down from your white gymphryna ? It probably 3/4 of the way through your video?
Hi there! Thank you so much! It is a hinoki cypress. However the variety I'm not certain of since it was one of the very first evergreens we planted and I didn't keep the tag.
Love your yard and videos.
I was wondering if your gomphrena seeds that you collected last fall sprouted for you this year. I’m about to collect some seeds from mine. Thanks
Hi Shannon, Thank you so much! Yes, the seeds that were collected in Fall from my purple gomphrena I grew last year, did germinate! I didn't grow them in my garden, but gave some to a friend, and she grew them.
Hi ! Your last acer looks like a Garnett, it's nice that it grew back ! So now I'm thinking this could happen to my orange dream ? I might have to have a look at what's left of it in it's pot :)
Oh great guess! Thank you!! We have a garnet in our Patio bed. I'll compare the foliage. Keep an eye on it. Hoping it rebounds for you. 🍁🍂
Thanks !@@HookedandRooted
Hi Steph! Love your japanese maples!! How are the deers 🦌 behaving? Do they leave them alone? I want some in pots and they are doing great but I'm always afraid to plant some in the ground. Thank you!
Hi there! So far its going ok, I do have to be more careful and spray deer spray throughout the winter since that's when food is scarce for them. They have nibbled on the JM's on occasion, but seem to be more interested in other plants in my garden, like hydrangeas for example.
Beautiful gardens! I have enjoyed watching them change from season to season through the years.
Do you have a link to where you got your Vince memorial stone? We lost our pup in July & want to put a stone where he liked to hangout.
Hi Lisa,Thank you so much!! I'm so sorry for the loss of your pup. Its never easy, they are such a large part of our family. We purchased the stone from this website: www.4everinmyheart.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4vKpBhCZARIsAOKHoWSGq0iZ5c63du_pyI3UJH7YGtCU_3hQj1CJsK7H8jkVm4dqZdC_EZAaAgAsEALw_wcB
Please tell me what type of grass seed you used. Your lawn is so green and luscious
Hi Wanda! I have asked my husband George this before. I believe its a mix of fescue and kentucky bluegrass. We've over seeded a few times in Fall, so he thinks there's quite a mix at this point. Thank you so much!!
Although the season is coming to an end. It still looks nice...
What was the name of the grass in your garden that likes moisture and also said rabbits and deer don't like it... thanks got the info😊
Hi Paula! Thank you so much!! That plant is Sweet Flag Ogon 'Acorus'. I purchased it at the Home Depot and its a great plant. You can see it in my garden here and I give some additional details at 10:03 ruclips.net/video/pUn2fmHWbZY/видео.htmlsi=0hi6nbFyMyK8ZNob
Steph! Where are the Japanese maples planted? South facing, north facing, full sun in summer? I got a space for one: there are Japanese andromeda’s (yes, divas) planted there - huge ornamental grasses that do very well all year round (the “winter interest” ones I described that you also had) and a space where its blank, right next to it that a pee gee hydrangea died (due to poor drainage) however...nepita + the grasses + rudbeckia do very well. I have to be sure that this plant will thrive. Any information from your sister 6b is very helpful.
Hi there!! They are in the west part of our garden, but face south.

Beautiful garden! You forgot to show your Orange Dream!
You're right! It was on the left of the shirraz! Definitely in spring. It's green right now but will be beautiful in spring. 🍁 🍁 🍁 🥰
I love Japanese maples, but I am always afraid to plant them because of it's cost and the fear that they won't survive the PA summer. What is the condition of your Japanese maple garden? Full sun? Part shade? It would be helpful to know the sun situation that you have! Thank you! ❤
In PA, I believe you are a similar zone to me, a 6? If so most of them are pretty hardy. I can only speak to the varieities I'm growing in my garden, but they do well for me here. The area where I have most of mine planted is morning shade and afternoon sun. while ideally it would be the other way around as most of them prefer morning sun and afternoon shade. But its working out ok. Some of the lighter varieties do get some leaf scorch from the sun, overtime as they aclimate, they should burn up less. Hope this helps! A coral bark japanese maple, and a bloodgood is a less fussy variety and very commonly found. These could be a good way to start with some JM's in your garden. Hope this helps.
I have had my peacock maple for 10 years.. this spring, we had a very late hard freeze. Combined with a drought this fall, it is sad.
What do you do with Japanese maples in pots over the winter?
We move them to the shed for the winter. We'll place them in front of the window and water every few weeks.
Careful with getting sap on your skin from the euforbia!😮
If you cut down your hardy hibiscus you are risking it from getting root rot, during wet winters moisture will run down the hollow stems and sit causing root rot. It's best to cut them back in Spring.
Great advice! Thank you!!
Hi Steph, the name for the variegated
Dogwood Celestial Shadow (Hybrid) Tree, fully grown 15-20 ft tall, 10-20 ft wide,zones 5-9, sun to partial shade
mutation of Cornus Florida x kausa. I have a small one in my garden but mine it’s struggling 😢
Hi Ingrid! Yes! Thats the other variety I have jotted down as the trees potential name. Thank you so much! I hope yours does a bit better. I had that one planted in a spot that was a bit dry and got full sun. I moved it about 2 years ago to the backyard, where now its an understory tree (gets a bit more protection from the full sun), and the soil there is also more moist and its growing much better. Hope this helps.
@@HookedandRooted thank you Steph I am gonna do the same
That's the reason I don't do ferns except in the ground. They just dropped way to much.
novice gardener here, living in VA, when you say "over winter", are you meaning just in a garage to stay out of colder temps/ bad snowy weather, more info please. ( ;
You are exactly right Elizabeth, thats what it means. Thanks for mentioning that, this could helps other new gardeners. Thanks for watching!
Be careful touching the euphorbia if you get it’s sap on you it may cause a reaction. Just an FYI
Thank you Amy! Good to know.
