I’m planning on planting milkweed, coneflowers, monarda along the edge of my creek bank for erosion control. There are some trees, but many have fallen into the creek. The bank is steep, about 15 feet deep. It’s ok if they multiply.

So helpful. Thank you. I’m headed out to do this today with my Taylor Junipers and Blue Arrow Junipers. I’ve done this in past years and it really helps them keep their tight shape in our Colorado snow, but as they get bigger it gets harder. Appreciated the long-handled tool trick :)

How do you use these products if you have potted roses...roses in containers? I'm in a condo...no yard...😢

Neat, thank you!

Super cool! Thanks for sharing something I probably would not know about my whole life

Se trata ese hongo con sulfato de cobre

Works

Thanks for sharing, I would love to do this ! About how much did all the garland cost?

Is senescence another word for dormancy? Many perineal plants go through a stage of dormancy during fall.

I know those definitions flashed pretty quick, so here they are again to read and understand at a more reasonable pace ❤️ Senescence: A state of biological aging in which cells cease to divide and enter a cell cycle arrest phase. (This word is used to describe cellular aging and death in all living things, not just deciduous tree leaves changing color in fall, but it sure is a beautiful word to describe the changing colors.) Chlorophyll is broken down and transported to the twigs for winter storage, revealing other pigments, such as... Carotenoids: This pigment typically appears as yellow or orange. It aids with photosynthesis and is always present but is only revealed when the chlorophyll is gone. Anthocyanins: In a class of pigments known as flavonoids, anthocyanin reveals itself as reds and purples. These may be present in such high quantities that the leaves always appear red, even with chlorophyll still present, or a plant may not have them at all. Abscission: The process by which an organism sheds parts of itself, such as a plant shedding a leaf. Once the tree absorbs the valuable nutrients, it seals off it's abscission layer, where the petiole meets the twig, causing the leaf to fall and leaving behind a leaf scar. This protects the tree from moisture loss or disease entry, both of which could happen if the fallen leaf left an open wound. OR conversely Marcescence: The retention of leaves that normally fall. Some deciduous trees have a tendency to do this, other times it happens when a sudden, early cold interrupts the abscission process.

Congrats that's an amazing win

I'm late in pruning... mine didn't blossom this year. I transplanted it last year and there were lots of blooms. I don't have any branches off the shoots. They are all straight. There's buds up and down each shoot. What do I do?

Any bts army . To know about this flower coz jk tattoos ❤😂

Lots of plants with a few similar ways to deal with them. Good overview for me as I am just beginning. Will need to reference when I don’t remember a plant, but getting the idea.

Two theories about roses is interesting and makes me aware not to over prune.

Great info!

Great info

I drive by and always think it’s a great idea, just not maintained. I’m sure neighbors would agree and pitch in to assist. But knowing how is the problem, all the hoops that need to be jumped through

Are you still giving away milkweed seeds? Please I would love to help!

Old school. Works every time.

So good to remember not to cut them back before the frost. That extra space for a safety stop is a great thing.

Looking forward to doing fall cleanup this year!

Hmmm. I hardly see them. Birds eat mine.

I can tell you are a scientist at heart and you naturally want to figure things out and study them just be careful because remember too much curiosity killed the cat

I would love to leave the leaves, but if I did the beds would be covered with 2 feet of leaves. I need to just leave a little at the end of the season. We live in the woods.

I mulch my leaves with twigs from my trees with my lawnmower so it's easier to decompose. Mix leaves and twigs with soil in a wheel barrow and about a cup of manure to the mix. Then spread around the tree about 3 ft. in diameter about 2 inches thick and you will have a healthy tree and will retain water. Also know what type of tree you have and do your research to know when you should cut or prune your tree to prevent your tree from disease. 😁

I don’t have any deciduous trees on my property, so I look for bags of leaves people have raked up (usually off their lawns-not sure how well leaves compost on top of a lawn)-my thanks to those who for whatever reason are not leaving them down!

Mulch the leaves, mow them

Also, leaves act like mulch preventing the ground from freezing. Leaves protect underground seeds and rhizomes from freezing and dying. They are basically free mulch.

I love these little guys. They truly do indicate that "Fall has begun." As annoying as they are, I love seeing them out and about. I love the weird way the air smells when they're out. Because they're only around for a few weeks, at most, they always feel nostalgic when they return.

I have always foolishly thought those were gnats! Thank you for educating me!

Thank you so much for this video! We live in McCall, ID on 3 acres and have wild hucklberries growing on a part of our land. I am sure of the identification, but it's odd because they don't produce berries. I would like to try to to plant some more and see if those do produce berries. What time of year did you plant?

Thank u so much! I just put 5 seeds in the ground and still have a lot left.

Great ideas and all tips make a lot of sense!

Happy I found your video, very informative. I took a gal and placed in a bag last summer and the nymphs hatched and I was disgusted. They’re life and have every right to be here, but it’s hard to see how they reshape my spruces on the front range in Colorado. I’ve spent too much time over the years with gloves pulling these faux pinecones off. I thrown them away in bags or burn them. Something else in CO is the orange rust I have now on my aspens. Went 16 yrs without, but now have entire stands that have died, after cutting down I burn those as well. Aspens need to be at a much higher altitude and not at 7,200 ft.

Hello! Do you still have some seeds in October?

It’s wild to me that people put rock mulch down without weed barrier. 😂

Thank you so much! I received the seeds!!! 🤍😊

You should make a video telling people not to plant tropical milkweed. It is not native and causes monarchs suffering from OE parasites.

Thank you for this. I just realized there is a huge plant growing in our backyard and found out it’s a datura plant. Kinda daunting how powerful a plant can be

this is the best purslane video on youtube. congrats.

Planting lilies with lily ❤❤❤

PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO! Especially with your north Spokane neighbors and anyone that drives this corridor. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you neighbors for your support!

So excited for you! City contract, that’s huge! Also, even just removing all the dead plantings will be a huge improvement. I hope you get the maintenance contract!!! Do you know if the city, regardless of any ongoing contracts, plants to replace plantings that you’ll remove? Gosh I hope so. Also wow those terrible tree pruning! 😮

Great info on cutting back for winter! Learned a few new tidbits too!

I have questions about asiatic lily U know u can divide lilies well some time little pieces come off to Example a fresh garlic 🧄 u know how u have those pieces when u take it apart sometimes the lily has them to so what do I do with those pieces ?

A loving, fun and educational interaction . It's a beautiful thing... and lovely autumn colours as a bonus... Lily will be taking your job shortly, maybe that's your plan.. LoL

There is an old saying: "If you want to get rid of knotweed, switch to a different garden"

You should make a vid about Black Swallow Wort
