October Garden Tour of My Carolina Garden | FRONT YARD

- Опубликовано: 22 ноя 2024
- Welcome to my October garden tour of my front yard in My Carolina Garden. Temps dropped for the day I filmed this tour, so it felt more like Fall than it has yet. I continue to have some perennial plants that are looking ok, and some evergreens that are coming more into play as the season gets cooler. My front yard garden doesn't have as many tropical plants as my back yard, but I have some beautiful feature plants like my Camellia, which is a Fall blooming shrub, while my Rudbeckia and Blanket Flowers continue to shine.
My name is Nicole Roggeman and My Carolina Garden is located in Wilmington, NC in growing zone 8B. I hope you enjoy my back yard garden tour for October, and are getting through the wacky weather we've been experiencing alright!

The poorer the soil, the better cosmos will do. Hilarious you just threw it and it took off where it landed!!! I think your dollar weed is pretty! Being senior gardeners, our motto has become “take the path of least resistance”…..sometimes you gotta appreciate the beauty of certain weeds! Enjoy your day and your spectacular gardens!!
I've certainly learned about Cosmos this year. I don't know that I'll try to plant them again. They're ok, but not a favorite. I've been known to intentionally keep some weeds that have wandered into my yard. Thanks so much for your message. Have a great day! ☺💚
Hi Nicole, I am tired of the heat and the drying out of the perennials. So it’s time to start cutting plants back. The deer also have been around helping themselves. Your garden looks amazing for October! Good luck with the new roof ❤
Gosh, I hear you! What a strange time of year. Some things are still beautiful, other things (like changing trees) are becoming beautiful, and other things just look awful. And when we're attached to nature, our emotions follow along on this journey. Cutting back can feel so refreshing, and cleaning up the ugly things can make us feel renewed. Wishing you well in your garden. As always, I appreciate your message!
It could be a shot in the dark but I read once that cosmos prefer poor soil to bloom. If the soil is too rich it just grows green. I had one once and it got a this suuuuppper long stem and got huge, but no bloom. That’s crazy what happened to yours 😄
@marleneegan-hm7lr that's entirely possible. It's anyone's guess, because i have no experience to back anything up. Don't see myself trying to grow them again though 😂 Thanks so much for your message!
Hi Nicole 🌺. Wonderful tour at your front yard it looks amazing in october and its flowers are so pretty . My garden looks beautiful in October but because of the war I can't take care of the garden as much as l should . Happy Sanday .🌺🌻🌺
I am thinking of you and wishing you well. Thank you for always writing me such sweet messages! 💚🌻💚
The cosmos cracked me up 🤣
Maybe they just didn't like the spot you had them planted 😂
Mine started blooming in spring and bloomed through summer. I'm getting a few here and there now so my guess is they really just didn't like their first spot.
The Camilla is stunning, I didn't know there are varieties that take sun so I'll be on the lookout for those.
I am hearing about the great success other people have had with their Cosmos blooming for a long time, so it sounds like my spot among the misfits wasn't a good one 😂
Yes, definitely look into sun-loving Camellias! There are quite a few varieties, and they are such a gift blooming in the chilly months! ☺
Enjoyed
Thank you!
Yes, I am tired, but the watering can't stop or all my efforts and money spent would be wasted. Do you plant spring bulbs? I love them, but unless they perennialize, they are very expensive and a lot of hard work just for the few weeks of color you get.
I have planted spring bulbs, but I agree, a lot of work for a few weeks of color. I prefer no-fuss perennials whenever possible. Fingers crossed you get some rain to give you a bit of a break!
Beautiful camellia! I have 2 in my backyard that are about to bloom!(I bought them 3 years ago, and this will be the first time they have bloomed!) I cut one from the bottom trunk and made it into a camellia tree! Can’t wait!
I hate that about dianthus ! Those would’ve been beautiful blooming there. I have trouble with mine too.THE kaleidoscope Abelia, Wow! My cosmos were over 6 feet high and leggy during the summer. They bloomed all summer. I need to Chelsea chop them earlier next year so they will be thick and bushy.Don’t forget to save the seeds to plant next year! Your flowers are so gorgeous and blooming this time of year! Do you fertilize all of your plants ? I need to start fertilizing more. Thanks for the great inspiration and showing the beauty of your coastal garden!🌸🌺🌻
Ooo, that's so exciting about your Camellias being about to bloom! I wonder why it took 3 years, but hey, if they're going to do it now, that's awesome.
Yes, I do fertilize everything. I spread a granular fertilizer everywhere in the spring, and then use water soluable fertilizer throughout the growing season (weekly to bi-weekly depending on how much time & energy I have).
Thanks so much for your sweet message! Have an awesome day!!
I love this so much💚💚 is so beautiful, I hope my camellias get as big as yours one day. I love how welcoming your front yard is, I'm going to keep working on my yard, my small garden and hopefully one of these days it's going to be full and beautiful like yours. Thanks for the inspiration as always 💚💯
I truly appreciate this message! "Littly by little, a little becomes A LOT" one of my favorite quotes, and it's definitely applicable to expanding our gardens! Your garden will become what you dream it will. Thank you again! 💚
Everything looks so great! I too was surprised at my coneflowers showing out one more time. I think that every living thing is happy with these welcomed cooler temps.lol
@lindylou3519 thank you for your sweet message, and yes, cheers to cooler temps! 😀🎉
Hi Nicole, I just found your channel a few days ago and I’m loving your videos. Your front garden is awesome, talk about goals! I appreciate you sharing your experiences in gardening as well as your tips and information. I live just a few miles from Charlotte, NC so many of the plants you grow thrive in my yard as well. Happy growing! 👌🪴🥰
Thanks so much for your message! I'm glad you found my channel and hope I continue to be helpful for your Charlotte garden! I feel very fortunate to be gardening in an area that has a long growing season, because although can get tiring, it's so nice to be able to enjoy long-blooming plants. My front garden is always a work in progress, but I appreciate your kind words very much! Have a great rest of the day!

hello nicole, great video as always. and your garden is still amazing. i have one camellia blooming now but, i hope they all begin to bloom soon. they are looking a little sad not sure what's going on with the others. i'm a little tired with garden duties. but, i will keep on going as long as they keep going. lol ready for some cooler weather now. thank you for sharing with us. and hope you have a great week ahead.
I am also a little tired with garden duties. It's so right though, as long as they keep going, we'll keep going. And in January we'll be sad lol. For now we'll soak up the last bits of beauty that is around, and in November we can look at everything and be thankful that we did the best we could throughout the growing season. Have a great rest of the day!!
Hi Nicole, even in October your garden looks great. Your camellia is gorgeous so smart of you to choose one that blooms in fall and the other in winter. Had to laugh at your cosmos growing out of your discarded debris, good thing you had not had time to dispose of it, are you going to leave it where it is I think I would since it liked the soil and area. Loved the video...Thanks🌺🥰🌺
Hi there! The Camellia is such a nice little gift in the garden for the colder months. 🤩 I think I am in fact going to leave the Cosmos there, as long as hubby doesn't tell me they are in the way of mowing. That would be a bummer. Thanks so much for your sweet message! ☺💚
💖🌸👍🏻🌸💖
My Yuletide is in full bloom right now! I'm only 2 hours north of you, 8a in Cary.
Wow!!! That's crazy, but so great you get to have those beautiful blooms! ENJOY!! 😊
💚
I just moved to Sneads Ferry NC all the way from Idaho and you have been helping me adjust to southern gardening! ❤
Question: do you think those camellia plants would do okay for a year or 2 in big planters? I have one on each side of my garage that are still empty since moving…they’re very large! In Idaho I would have planted grasses in the spring as a centerpiece or something like an arborvitae for year round interest..but I’d never heard of a camellia plant until today and I’m thinking it would be nice to plant that in the planter as a centerpiece for fall and winter interest and in the spring I would under plant with some flowers.
I’m looking forward to seeing your garden over the winter and what winter interest you have in pots and in the ground!
Thanks!! 😄
Hi there! Wow, you moved from Idaho? I went to Idaho for the first time last year, and we loved the area. Even joked about moving there and making "My Idaho Garden" 😁Do you miss the mountains?
I can't imagine the Camellia wouldn't work in large planters. I think they'd be beautiful the setting you described. If you're in Sneads Ferry, keep an eye on the nursery called Pender Pines in Hampstead. Follow them on Instagram so you can be notified of their sales. I got my large Yule Tide Camellia (shown in my back yard garden tour) from there last year. The one I have in the front yard (that tolerates sun) I've had for a number of years so I don't know where I got it. But Pender Pines has a very nice selection of all different Camellias. ☺💚
For the camelia in your front yard, is 7 feet the maximum height? I am looking for evergreens to plant in my full sun front yard, zone 8b NC. ty!❤❤
Hi there! The Camellia I have in the front is due to get taller, maybe up to 14 feet tall. However, I found this good article about Camellia options that like sun, and there are some that get to be about 8 feet if that's what you're looking for:

Hope this helps! ☺❤

Hmm, now I'm confused, because I remember responding to this, and yet there's no reply showing. I'm sorry if your messages got lost in some technical glitch or you haven't heard anything from me until now. Ugh. Nevertheless, I'm always happy to share thoughts and ideas with other North Carolina gardeners! Hope you are enjoying a beautiful weekend!
