Back Tour Garden Tour & What I'm Doing With All Of These Plants Over Winter!

[@jaisarowe5285]

OMGosh! 😲 That Scentlandia Sweetspire is absolutely STUNNING!!! Love it so much…adding it to my wishlist for next spring for sure…I can’t wait! 😁 Thanks for showing us that gorgeous fall color & how you make decisions to overwinter your potted plants! 🍂😁

And here weevil is blooming, I think it's spring ❤

It's been such a strange November!

You could save some money on those annuals by allowing them to self-seed. Or when you chop and drop them, allow the seeds to remain in the soil, mulch heavily, and cover with frost cloth. Especially since they are up against that brick wall, which holds the warmth of the sun.

[@ChicagoGardener]

That's such a good idea! I would love if some of these came back on their own.

You sure are a garden trooper. 💪💪 you seem to have a lot of work within the next couple of weeks, but it seems like it comes so easy and routinely for you. I get exhausted, just listening to all the things you have to do. I’ve had to cut back on so many things because I do get a little tired. But that scentlandia seems like it’s the winner and I already took a screenshot of that tag. I must get that for my garden next year.

I think I’m going to try to cut back a little on maintenance next year 🤣

Esta bien bonito

Down south around Atlanta, we have cherry trees blooming right now and hydrangeas reblooming, everything thinks it’s spring 😬

[@ChicagoGardener]

That’s so crazy!

Looks like you have some work to do. I hope you can find room to over winter all of your plants. Did you grow those begonias from seed or are they PW?

[@ChicagoGardener]

I hope I have room too 😆 Some begonias are proven winners and others are from a local garden center!

How many BES vine plants did you put in the container w 19" cage? This year my sister planted some in a container and put it on top of an older wood ladder. It cascaded down instead of climbing up. Was beautiful. ❤

[@ChicagoGardener]

Two of them! I probably only needed one though 🤣

I would love to know where you got your patio raspberries from I live in the north west corner of Indiana and just started gardening this year. I live in the HOA signing container raspberries!

[@ChicagoGardener]

Right now I have two full size bushes in the garden from Stark Bros. I think I'm going to get smaller patio varieties from them as well next spring!
