- Here is how I attempt to keep my potted perennials alive over winter in my garden! Let me know if you have any additional tips or plants that have reliably overwintered for you in pots.
** Important update, it appears that the two pigeons are now building a nest!

Jack is sooooo cute!!! You are such an inspiration for us folks who has to grow in pots!
That makes me so happy to hear, thank you!!
The pigeons made me LOL!
Was not expecting pigeon smut this morning LOL
🤣🤣🤣 me either. The joys of nature!
Haha, saying hi to the pigeons in the morning, can relate to that!
It’s become part of my morning routine now 😆
Hi Bethany, I found that the zinnias that I started indoors in soil blocks thrived with no powdery mildew, vs. the zinnia seeds that were direct sowed in my raised beds. So I'm planning to just start them indoors this year. Your relationship with the pigeons is too funny! 😂I have had no luck leaving my tulips in containers outdoors even under a covered porch. I have to bring them into the garage. Our 40F warm day yesterday had a wind chill that felt like it was in the 20's! So I still have hundreds of bulbs (that just arrived) to plant in containers and hopefully in my raised beds if another warm day arrives soon! 🌷🌷🌷
Okay I might have to try soil blocking now bc if I can have powdery mildew free zinnias I will cry tears of joy!
@@ChicagoGardener giving them more spacing will probably help also, but I know being in containers you tend to squeeze them in together closer.
I 💗Jack!
200 tulips ? ! Frikken awesome 💥💥💥
I will be so happy if they bloom and don’t rot over winter!
The pigeons found a way to keep warm!😂
🤣🤣🤣
I. Can't. Handle. The. Pigeons. hahahaha
I love that they felt like they needed an audience 🤣
Great vid! The pigeons crack me up! 😂
Great tips! So cool that your raspberries pots have come back for you year after year. Do you water them over the winter at all?
Good morning 😊
Good morning!!!
Question on your tulips: what type did you plant? I am pretty careful to buy the kind that will perennialize. The fancy tulips are basically annuals. If they come back, it is as stragglers or just a few leaves. My tulips are in the ground and I let them die down before removing the foliage. I think they need that even though it does not look too good in. My reward is a blaze of color next spring.
BTW, overwintering in the garage gave me an idea. I wonder if I could put boxwood in a container and overwinter in my garage. Ima in zone 4b or 5a, so it is too cold outside. I would like to experiment with topiaries.
I have two small boxwoods in the garage now! It’s my first year trying to but so far it’s still green. Since I’ve killed my tulips so many times I just get whatever and hope they survive winter 🤣
Do you happen to have links to the wooden containers you use on your decks in multiple sizes? I know you've mentioned them in previous videos but I can't find which videos you've made that have those links and names/brands of containers. Love your channel!
Yes! They’re from Gronomics: gronomics.com/all-elevated-garden-beds/
how do you winter sow native seeds? Is the process different?
I do it very simply, I literally just toss them in the bed over winter! I’ll check to see if they need water but typically we get enough moisture over winter that I do t need to.
