You must be so pleased with how your landscaping is working out. You’ve done some beautiful planting too. The hydrangeas and marigolds are gorgeous. And, yes, the autumn colours are so lovely.

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you Fiona! 😊🍁 I love the fall colors 🍂🍁🍂 It is one of my favorite times of year 😊

[@gardeningmadeeasywiththeol3945]

The landscaping is developing beautifully and really love the Hydrangeas!

Beautiful landscape and flowers.... especially the roses... And I learned a few things 👍 thanks Cara 🤗❤️

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thanks so much! I’m really liking the roses. Can’t wait to plant some more!

[@GrowingonVancouverIsland]

I give my floribunda roses a heavy pruning in late fall and they bounce back nice and healthy in the spring. I believe earth angel is a floribunda 🙂

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Good to know! Thanks for the insight!

Hi Jasmine! Thank you so much 😊 Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the cooler temperature and all the changing colors too 😊💛🧡🍂🍁🍂

[@soncarlgardens4767]

The Earth Angel rose is gorgeous!! I’ve planted one of those in our garden this year, so looking forward to seeing it flower. The Limelight hydrangeas are looking gorgeous too - love it when they start to turn and get their autumn colourings. And I could live off the smell of gardenias!!! Glad everything is doing well in the garden. Cheers, Ben 😊

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thanks! I agree! I love how the limelights are showing the progression of color change.

Hello Cara! Your hydrangeas are beautiful I like how they change color with the season. I liked to plant dusty miller, they do grow quite large but are very showy. Gorgeous roses, so delicate looking. I have a white and red tea Rose I brought it in for the winter. Not to sure how well it will do, they like it best outside but they won't survive our cold winter. Wow! That watermelon is huge, some good eating off of that. Your gardens are beautiful. Thanks for the lovely tour. 💞

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you so much Sylvia!! :) I love the idea of a rose indoors as a house plant! It would be wonderful to have that fragrance blooming inside all year round. I hope it does well for you :) -Cara

Thank you Annalee! Isn’t it wonderful to have roses blooming 💚🌹💚

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

You landscaping is looking lovely! I do like a pop of bright yellow, it brings cheer to the gloomiest days. Makes everything brighter. 💖 You have had an excellent harvest from your garden. Mine didn't do too bad either, considering I didn't have a lot of time for it. The next few weeks I am going to concentrate on cleaning up the beds for their winter sleep.. 💖💖💖

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thanks! I do too! I’m loving this section of the landscaping. Glad your harvest was successful too!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the tour! Our marigolds did do really well in these raised beds. Need to credit that to the compost we’ve added

[@backtonature433]

Wow,that's a lot of watermelons 🍉 to harvest, and they're huge👍🤗🤗🤗💚🌱💚

[@bluebirdhomestead]

They are! Our produce is loving our raised beds with the compost we added earlier this year. We are planning to build out our raised bed garden for next year!

Cara your property and garden look beautiful!!! I love the hydrangeas and the roses are gorgeous!!! Those fall beans look like they are producing quite well. We want to add some more raised beds next year too. It is just so much easier than the ground garden.

[@bluebirdhomestead]

The raised beds truly are so much easier and they seem to produce better quality and quantities too! 😊😊😊

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Beautiful. I love the grass. Winter is coming soon, but most of my landscape is ready for spring.

Winter will be here before we know it indeed 😊

Such beautiful Roses! Mom would always just cut that rose bush cane down to the others, but I would do some research.

Hello Cara ,your garden is beautiful I really love it and everything you planted . Well done and the best part ,is enjoying the fresh vegetables My garden is very small ,I am harvesting green onions and leeks this weekend. I am excited when I am cooking with them Thanks for sharing!💕

[@bluebirdhomestead]

That’s awesome! I have never grown leeks before, how do you like growing them?

[@countryfreshrecipesandmore]

Ok , I love to plant them And watch them grow until I ready to use them .Must try planting a few stalks They’re lovely, they grow fast ,within three months. Just water them every day . I use it to make vegetable powder by dehydrating them And it’s great to add in soups and other foods. You have a lot of space to plant all kinds of veggies and fruits But I know it’s a lot of work and it takes time.

[@bluebirdhomestead]

@@countryfreshrecipesandmore That’s awesome! I will have to give them a try sometime in the future. I like the sound of dehydrating them. We make powders like that with a lot of different things 😊😆

Your roses looks amzing Love.both even though my favorite rose would be yellow.because yellow is my fav color.also the watermelons are massive.what vairiety ate those.i think you just sold me to plant one nezt year. And rlto top of it Ground cherry's are yummy.mine didnt produce good fruit this year.it was attack by some kinda bugs which i kinda let them there so they dont bother my other crop.good harvest there. I just harvested some veges as well today Thanks for sharing

[@bluebirdhomestead]

You should definitely plant some next year! 😊😊😊

[@marykaystreasures]

your flowers are so beautiful I can't seem to get hydrangeas to grow for me I don't know if I'm putting them in the wrong area but if you have any suggestions please let me know I enjoyed your video thank you for sharing 👍👍👍🌞♥️😎🌞

[@bluebirdhomestead]

We are in zone 7a here, so depending on your zone and rain averages you may want to adjust where you plant them. I have all of mine planted on the East side of our house. They get morning sun to dry off their leaves then they are shaded in the hottest part of the day. At our last house I planted them in full shade and had success. Also if you have harsh winters it would be a good idea to plant one that grow on new wood vs old wood. Because snow and ice can break limbs. I hope that helps some! -Cara 😊

[@marykaystreasures]

buy you a extra large box of baking soda sprinkle it on the weeds and wet it or let it let it rain and it will kill the weeds least it's work for me

[@bluebirdhomestead]

We buy our baking soda in bulk so I already have a ton. I will give this a try! Thank you so much for the tip! -Cara 😊😊😆

What do those purple beans taste like?

They taste just like a normal green bean, but not quite as sweet 😊
