That was great! Loved it❤. Such a huge garden to take care of with everything else you have to do! It easy to see how much you love it, you’re so enthusiastic… What I really appreciate is hearing your “out loud”planning and your personal reactions to plants. Love that you explain why you’re making the changes you make.
Can you talk more about the hydrogen peroxide/water treatment you use on your plants that you will be bringing in to your home soon. Love your garden and your show. I’m in zone 5; in the northwest corner of Iowa. Maybe I’ll take a road trip next spring to visit your garden center.
Absolutely beautiful, still at this time of year. I'm feeling the same sad to see the pretty colors & new plants I put in thriving, and soon frost will take away their prettiness. I enjoy your videos! You are so energetic & happy to listen to! Have a great day Michelle!!
You’ve done a lot this season, it’s looking amazing! I’m really looking forward to the newest garden with the newly planted trees. Would love to see how you work through ideas in a new space, and which inspirational ideas you use from your garden tours. Oh, and super excited about your Christmas displays at the garden centre!!
Hi Michelle 👋 Everything still looks fabulous! 😍 Love your new bed/plantings. And WOW 😮 The cottage garden really did great! And the bed with the new pathway also looks great! I do love that Begonia 😍 I have got to get me the Mini Me Watermelon, love love it! 😍 I am excited to see your She Shed... can't wait 😊 You have done so much gardening this year and I have enjoyed following you. I love Dr. Seuss too. Thank you for sharing. You have so much work to do before the cold hits. You take care. 😊
I really enjoyed this! Very natural and loved just looking at it as you walked it! Got ideas from you and nice to see the pluses and minuses just like I have! Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to film your October garden, Michelle! One of my favorites in your garden is the Callicarpa at 11:00. LOVE those purple berries! I looked up the hardiness zone for Callicarpa and found it's recommended for zones 6-11. Aren't you a zone 5? I know that gardeners can bump up one zone like from 5 to 6 if the perennial or shrub is planted in a protected area and mulched to help avoid winter kill.
I have the pearl glam and it is rated to zone 5. It does die back every year and then re-grows. Did you know you won bulbs...but you never called to claim your prize. I still have them here for you. Call the girls tomorrow 815-633-5100
I learn so much from your channel! When it's time to move house plants in-doors, I worry about pests, temperature change and pruning. How do you prepare your house plants for taking them back inside?
I was so glad to see your video today cause of all the heart wrenching things that have happened with the hurricanes. It was good to see Michelle's garden. I'm excited about your shed project. It's handy that your son-in-law can fix the tractor. We see rabbits in the spring but not after that - -we have hawks. How do you get your plants ready to come in the house?
It is horrible about everything with the hurricane, and another coming.......we have friends in the Carolinas....been rough. Watch this Thursdays episode for the house plants into the house.
Good morning Michelle, or afternoon…my morning! Question on you Baptisia again, cut back or leave for the winter? Eeeeek, frost! Way too soon, not really but I want one more warm month ha! Love your yard, look fabulous!
Hi Michelle. I love your RUclips videos. Can you please give us more information about what we can over winter and how we can over winter it? I’m going to buy your Zinnias as you tell me they’re available.
Hi I really love your videos! I learn so much! I do have a question, Have you ever overwintered Boston Ferns? How would you do that? Any suggestions would be appreciated. :)
Could you find an area away from your garden. To throw garden seeds and plants that don’t sell (damaged) and create a rabbit bed. They can eat. In hopes that will keep them out of your garden as much. I grow cat mint in hanging baskets so it can get large enough before the cats lay in it. I’ve had one huge patch now 10 years it’s survived the cats. Just an idea for you. Just worry this video was great. Natural and it’s like we are really walking through the garden with you. Maybe you can do this once a week in the season to save you time and I really like the feel of it.
I do have one of those, but alas I think they like the gardens at my house better. I usually don't have rabbits, as we have fox, coyote, hawks, owls....and they usually take care of the problem.
Several questions: Your grass looks weed free. What do you use on it? Are your pillar hibiscus related to Rose of Sharon? They look similar. And do you know if I should cut back my new rose of sharon this year? I’ve been told to cut back to 18” x3 years to encourage thicker and fuller stems. I love your zinnias! I don’t think they’re too big at all! Looking forward to your zinnia blend too!
No, you must be looking thorough green tinted glasses...hahahaha...I have many weeds in my lawn. And yes they are Rose of Sharon Hibiscus. Rose of Sharon needs little to no regular pruning. If you wish to prune, however, late winter or early spring is the best time to do so. Up to one-third of the plant can be removed at a time. If you need to drastically rejuvenate an older plant, cutting back to the ground may be necessary, but be prepared for a less attractive shrub for a couple of years while it regrows
What a beautiful landscape you have created. I just found your channel and am subscribing. I started a perennial bed in my back yard along the fence last year and this fall I reorganized it and planted some fall perennials like mums. I do have a QUESTION though I hope you can help me with. I am wondering do all perennials get cut back to the ground or do I just cut out the flower stalks! I’ve listed some of my perennials below. Im also in zone 5 so I am really excited about finding you and learning from you. I have 3 different varieties of daisies, some echinacea plants, sedums, hostas, anemones I have just planted, a beautiful purple penstemum that I divided into six and replanted, a Russian sage bush, coke a cola plant, astilbes, an agastache, etc. When I look up how to care for these plants there isn’t any information on what to do with them in the fall after the killing frost or early spring.
All perennials get cut back to the ground and you can do it in fall or spring before they start to actively grow again. I recommend leaving them up this 1st year and then deciding which ones you like as winter interest and then in future years pick and choose what to leave up and what to cut down. Remember though some of them will spread by seed so if you do not want that cut them back and dispose of all the foliage.
@ Awesome! Thank you for sharing your expertise. I am enjoying your other videos now too. I have so many questions and have watched countless hours of youtube videos but like my previous question never found answers to. So, here’s an another question for you and it’s regarding my shasta daisies and the other different daisies. Once they start to bloom, they don’t continue to bloom until hit by the frost. Their blooms seem to die and then so does the plant. I thought, ok, they need to be deadheaded when the flowers start looking sorry, so I did that the next year. Well, that wasn’t the answer either. The interesting thing though, is the daisy plants go through what seems like a period of rejuvenation and start pushing new growth but no new flowers, just leaves. I did have a small daisy plant that did get new flowers but they were smaller than the first ones that were produced earlier in the year and only on half the plant. What am I doing wrong? Or is this how daisies grow? If so, why did only one of my daisy plants partially rebloom? How do I get them all to either continue blooming or get them all to rebloom?

Not sure what you are asking. Overwinter what?
@@gardeningTLC plants that we had outside that we want to save
Are you considering windows or skylights for the red shed?
Not this year, maybe in the future...pretty pricy so we will see.

In the driveway bed they are Sprinter Boxwoods. Everywhere else they are Winter Gems (My Favorite)

The stump and bowl looks like a mushroom 😂

It does...
I have total shade, wet soil area in which I need a few shrubs. Besides boxwood, what could I use. Must stay low.
