hello! I did not think crocus were native to Midwestern United States. Have you tried trilium, trout lily, and spring beauty for early spring blooms and pollen sources for early emerging native bees and bumble-bees?

Cathy it has been a strange fall. I also had a major wheeler honeysuckle it never did anything. Well it grew a little but not like it should have. It is gone now. I use cardboard too it is great. Just weigh it down so it doesn't blow away with the winter weather. I enjoy seeing what other people are doing I their gardens. Thanks for the video.

Ceanothus represent! I have three different species native to the West Coast (bc I'm in Oregon) and I love all of them, they are great plants. I had heard the blossoms could be lathered up like soap! One of mine is Ceanothus velutinus, Snowbrush or also called mountain balm and its leaves are aromatic and make kind of a soothing tea if you have a cold.

everyone tends to want early blooms, understandably, but even experienced gardeners often overlook late season flowers... the asters & goldenrod asteraceae cousins get tarnished for being so hardy / resilient, get called a weed, but they are such beautiful flowers + important for pollinators. Best from Zone 6 Cathy, enjoy your "offseason"

I leave the pods on the vine until they start to dry out and turn brown. Pull the dried pods. Split them open and remove the beans/seeds. I usually spread them onto a paper towel on a paper plate for a couple of weeks to let them dry good. Just store them in a small envelope or jar with a tight fitting lid. Thanks for the comment.

Cathy, I found you by searching button bush and have been binge watching this evening. I love your videos and your garden looks amazing. Do you do garden tours on here? I may not have found it yet if you do. I love how you showcase plants, and would also love to see how your garden is laid out. I’ll go see if you have a garden tour video.

Thank you for your kind comments. We don't do many garden tours. We live on a 62x120 foot lot and what isn't covered in buildings is covered in gardens. Our neighbor politely asked us to not show their property in our videos and we try to respect their privacy. Hope you found the few garden tours I have done. Also, I did a video on the garden plan program I use that includes a copy of my Garden layout. It has changed some but I will try to remember and put up a current copy.

Nice tips on scarification, I will have to try that. Something interesting i learned about stratification. I saved cherry seeds and kept them in the fridge over winter, planted then outside in the spring in a marked area. Nothing sprouted. However, after being buried for a full winter outside, many sprouted the following spring. Maybe some seeds need a freeze to fulfill the stratification requirement?

My GT has become quite huge over the past 4-5 years. 😳 I think I’ll have to divide it in two in spring 2025, same for those New-England aster patches! I swear I deadheaded everything in late fall to keep its seeds from forming and two of them appeared last spring! I wish I had more gardening real estate!

My GT did well this year. I had Sea Holly next to it and they played well together :) I wish my New England Asters would spread some. They keep dying on me every couple of years. Look great the first year and by the third year they are gone. I keep replanting in different areas thinking they just don't like where they have been planted. I had one that I planted last year that came back and was looking good until the Goldenrod flopped over on top of it and I didn't notice it until it was too late. Hopefully it will come back next year.
