- See More Garden Goodies: www.WisconsinGa... - - - Welcome to our September garden tour, part 1 where we will explore what’s growing in our eclectic experimental garden here in Wisconsin. After an extremely hot and humid July and August that made gardening extremely difficult, and sometimes unbearable, we’ve had to greatly limit our time outdoors, as well as, adding new videos to our video garden blog. Despite being about 6’ behind our normal rain fall totals, we begin part 1 with our beautiful yearly Zinnia patch outside our kitchen entrance and move about our front yard exploring a variety of plants that survived our hot weather. We conclude part one of our September garden tour viewing the south side of our front yard berm to see what’ still blossoming. Stay tuned for part 2 coming up next.
Couldn't wait to see your Zinnia garden as my Husband loves them and he loves to pick me a Bouquet . We do our gardening together like we do everything . I guess that is what happens when you are married for 59 years. Thank you for the wonderful tour . You and your honey remind me of my honey and me. God bless you both.
Bless you and your hubby. My oh my, you have us beat by 10 years. We celebrate our 50th next August. Isn't is wonderful actually enjoying doing things together as a couple - we too mean everything. It's also great to be married to your best friend. Sounds like we would be good friends. What am I saying, we already are. Nice to have you part of our garden family. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
I too also just love looking at ur yard. Garden... it gives me peace.
It brings us a sense of peace as well. That's the joy of creating gardens. Each area has it's own character. We pleased to hear you see that as well. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, healthy and happy. Lynn & Richard #KeepTheLoveGrowing - www.WisconsinGarden.com.
I love to hear each and every word of yours ....sweetest couple 😘
Awe, such a kind comment. Deeply appreciated. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Here in the NORTH EAST we also have had a very hot summer with very little rain Had a short trip to MAINE and swam in the ATLANTIC OCEAN the water was also warm very unusual by the way your gardens look beautiful
Thank you for your kind words of support. Guess we should all be thankful we haven't experienced the flood down south and the fires out west. It was a very hot and muggy summer for many of us. Cooler weather has arrived allowing us to get back into our garden. Stay tuned for part 2 & 3 coming next on www.WisconsinGarden.com Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
I was feeling kinda sad, but after watching your garden tour. Y'all made my day ☺️❤️☺️thanks for sharing....
Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit down. So Richard and I are sending you a bunch of warm hugs and will keep you in our prayers. Glad our video offered a little pick me upper. Always appreciate your kind comments. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard

You guys ROCK!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
It was our pleasure. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Enjoyed your tour,Thanx
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Lynn & Richard
I live in Milwaukee and love to garden. Your zinnias turned out to be very lush! Happy Planting!
So nice to hear from 'neighbors'. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really love Zinnias. They're so happy. If you're in the neighborhood, feel free to stop by. Lynn & Richard
At 4:34, the plant you weren't sure of, it looks like you have a creeping white babys breath. Beautiful! I know these videos are old but I love coming and referring to your garden before planting in mine. I'm doing the giant zinnia mix today, in a space a little smaller than yours. I hope I have a jungle also! Lol
Thank you so much, Amber for your information on that bush. I can't say we liked that plant, maybe it was because it just took over, hence the name 'creeping'. We should know better by now not to put a creeping plant in a confined space. It was pretty, but since then got too straggly and we replaced it. We are very pleased that you refer to our garden when thinking about plants. It's like you are visiting and enjoying what you see. :) I know you will love your Zinnias. I see they now have varieties that are not so susceptible to powdery mildew. That's always a problem here in Fall. Hope you will send pix of them in full bloom. Can't wait to plant ours. It's so deceiving outside right now, high sun, longer days, seems warm when it isn't. While trimming down the clumps of ornamental grasses this weekend it was 60 out and sunny, but right below the leaf mulch, there was a layer of ice.Happy spring! Thanks for watching and commenting. Lynn & Richard
Yes I do love your videos! And your Wonderland of a garden is beautiful! I will send some pictures when everything comes up! I've decided on two beds of zinnias, one bag for each, so I'm very interested to see the results! So nice chatting with you guys. Hope to see some videos of your garden for this year! The weather here is really iffy right now too. It was 87 degrees Sunday and the high for today is 65. But that seems to be the normal these days. Happy planting!!
Have a wonderful garden year. Be patient, Spring will allow us all to begin planting soon. TKS Lynn & Richard
I wanted to share! My zinnias has flower buds. Yahoo. I was afraid I planted seeds too late.
Glad to hear your late start is producing Zinnia buds. Depending on your location, hopefully there will be enough warm days for them to open and share their beauty. Thanks again for sharing Judy. Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
I love ur oreantal maple tree.
Good morning Judy. It truly was a beautiful tree and although we were told they can be temperature temperamental, we thought our cove would help protect it from winter thaw. Unfortunately, the majority of our Japanese Maple tree didn't make it through last winter as you may have noticed in more recent garden tour video. While it only has a couple of viable branches, it now looks like a bush, we will continue to see what can be done to save it. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Stay safe, healthy and happy. Lynn & Richard #KeepTheLoveGrowing - www.WisconsinGarden.com.
Thank u for sharing ur info. Not to give up on them.
One thing about gardeners. We're optimistic and are known for not quitting. Thanks again for sharing Judy. Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Your camera man has a big crush on you!
Yes, he does. I'm so lucky. He is my biggest fan I'm glad to say, and my best friend. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm loving your zinnias!! They're so pretty!!!
Today Richard and I took a look at what's growing and talked about anticipating how our garden areas will do this year. Every year unexpected surprises happen, things we didn't plant where they now grow, as we look at what we'd like to accomplish, change or sometimes eliminate. Yes, I can't wait to plant my Zinnia gardens but know we are still at least one month away before we can safely begin. In the meantime there's a lot of clean up and prep work needed which is what we started yesterday and again today. Later today rain is expected. Hope you have a chance to grow your own Zinnia garden this year if only in a container if space is limited. Thank you for watching, sharing and caring. Lynn & Richard
Wonderful zinnias. Thanks for this videos. I'm in Puerto Rico and I like your garden videos.
Hi Wanda. Hope you get a chance to see over 800 of our free video blogs at www.WisconsinGarden.com. We appreciate you taking time to watch, care and share. Lynn & Richard
Blessings for you and your husband.
Thank you. L&R
No mulch around the new beech tree??....would like to see it pruned to look like a tree though instead of a bush....top growth will flourish when those unsightly lower branches are removed....now's the time before winter...make sure to wrap the trunk with tree wrap and a guard before winter
We've been advised by our arborist not to disturb or cut back the lower branches this year. He said it's more important to allow the tree to establish itself first. Plan on mulching soon. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Our Arborist's Advice for Tree Pruning Steps at Planting - Leave as much of the entire leaf surface as possible to manufacture food that will build a larger root system. Roots will be larger after one year if left unpruned. Do prune the following and trim close to the trunk: broken branches, branches competing with the leader, swollen branches from insect eggs or stings & Remove tree tags. TKS Lynn & Richard P.S. We mulched around this tree this morning.
OK good going
that mystery plant with the white flowers looks like babys breath
It does, but we bought it from a specimen grower last summer without any sticker. Dorothy grow a series of exotic plants and knows her plants really well and baby's breath isn't the name she provided. We will have to do more research on exactly what she grows. Perhaps it's a hybrid developed from the "Gypsophila genus" family. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Debbie Boullion I thought so too!
Beautiful gardens as always! I am a new subscriber and have enjoyed binge watching. Question if I may...did/do you contain your decorative grass in a pot before planting? Mine was so invasive I pulled what I could but am really missing the texture it gave...
So far the varieties we planted have not been invasive, just large. Putting them in a pot would help, but maybe check what grasses grow in your area and ask if they will spread or stay in a clump. Thanks for watching our videos and for letting us know you like them. Lynn & Richard
Hi, I'm enjoying watching you garden walk through here from Sydney Australia. Your garden is just stunning and the love you both have for nature is fantastic. I would love to grow ''Autumn Joy Sedum' under a tree just like you have in this video. I'm wondering if you can tell me what to expect with the flower. How long does it stay the lime green and then turn reddish pink and does it have to flushes of flowering? Thank you :)
Hello again from Wisconsin. The mature Autumn Joy Sedum foliage blooms once in late summer and has about a dozen large 4-5" flower head clusters in the pink range that turn darker toward the purple range in fall. Many of our plants are close to 3' in diameter and about 18-20" tall. The honey bees love them and it's not unusual for them to be actively loaded with dozens of pollinators feasting constantly. When we want to keep the plant more compact, we cut the entire plant back half way. The flower clusters produced are smaller. Otherwise they often collapse in fall from their weight when not cut back or supported. Thank you again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
@@WisconsinGarden Thank you for the reply back, happy gardening!
It was our pleasure. Thank you again. L&R
I love your September Gardens, they are beautiful, as they always are. When you deadhead a plant do you have to go back and cut it again closer to the ground? I have a ton of shasta daisys and if I deadhead them, they have to be cut again close to the ground before winter or they look yucky.
deezie
We generally deadhead them and cut them down to around 6 inches especially if you don't want them to drop their seeds around. Depending on the weather and how early you cut them back it's possible for some to send up new shoots that blossom. We prefer to leave our cuttings 6-12" above ground level for the winter. We also eliminate daisies that aren't behaving or have escaped to areas where we don't want to encourage them to grow.Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
If I cut mine down to the 6 to 12 inches like you do, won't I have to cut them again in the spring? or does the new plant/flower grow on that cut piece? thanks so much for responding so quickly before
deezie
Once we cut them down most stay that way and eventually collapse after the first heavy frost. One reason we don't cut most of our plants down to the ground, we like stalks catching falling leaves and using them as a winter blanket. In spring them start shooting up again often without having to remove anything. We find it nearly impossible to kill daisy plants especially when we allow them to go to seed. With the wind, birds and squirrels the seeds plant themselves everywhere. TKS Lynn & Richard
thanks so much for that information, I will be doing what you do then and only cutting a bit. I normally cut it right to the ground but never thought of the leaves. Good thinking, thanks again, have a great weekend
deezie
Can u get close up to seedom?
Not sure what you mean. Please explain. Filming? If you're asking is it dangerous or poisonous, it's not. But be mindful since bees and pollinators love it, not sure how close you want to get. Thanks again for asking Judy. Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Your husband sounds like Dr. David Jerimah. U ever listen to him?
Interesting. While we haven't listened to him, we're familiar with his name and southern Baptist mega-church in CA. Richard's sister took him to Saddleback in Lake Forest to hear Rick Warren and 33,000 members. WOW! TKS Lynn
