Fall outside Work ~ Simple Winter Garden Interests~Preparing Gardens for Winter~Fall Outdoor Cleanup

[@debbiegreen2414]

I guess I’m one of the few that loves fall and winter and do not like summer. I love the snow, the cloudy dreary days when it rains . I love looking outside nd seeing a foggy day. My dad says I’m crazy. lol.summer is beautiful if I don’t have to go out. I have. Illness that flares up and is painful when the weather is hot and humid. And it’s that in Kentucky during the summer. I admire in a nice. lol house. I love your channel. It’s so peaceful to watch.

[@gailweber2341]

I like winter and Fall as well !

[@kimberlyscrivner9373]

I’m the same.

[@galemurphy5497]

Me too. If it gets above 65 it's too warm for me.

[@OriginalAcefanatic]

I’m with you. I do not like summer at all! I love fall and winter.

[@yvonnebrown5161]

Mee too!! I l9ve fall and winter

[@rosemeyer5764]

I love tulips, but where I live in Kentucky, the deer eat all of them. 😢 All I can plant are daffodils. Nothing eats them! You are an inspiration to all of us for your gardens.

[@wendyrumbel4354]

I always enjoy your videos. You create such beautiful landscapes. Things always look great. God Bless your beautiful family.

[@marilynyarbrough7951]

I never thought I could relax so easily watching someone work so hard. Thanks for sharing, Mary, you are a gem.

[@rosemarybushea3447]

Always inspiring me to get busy, with how good you make everything look. Love that you stop and pet the cats. You are such a kind person to regard all of God's creatures.

[@tonyaslusher9606]

What a wonderful feeling it is when you get that amount of gardening done... everything is so rewarding when you are finished with your work/time you have spent. (I hope that makes sense) ❤

[@ioanagherman5952]

Oh,you are amazing, my mom use to lived in Merriville Indiana,she had so many birds feeders, birds baths,always clean like you around feeders,she also adopted street cats,I miss her so much. Have a bless rest of the week.

[@christileach4644]

Mary, your soaps are beautiful! We are big bird people in our home as well. I get a lot of joy from feeding and watching them. Thanks for taking us along! ❤ xo

[@TimeHonoredTreasures]

As I’m sitting here watching you with some tea, I’m making a list of things to winterize my gardens. Boy, I’m tired already…slow down girl!! 💕

[@Sunsoul888]

Thanks Mary. I'm doing the same thing just now. Cutting my hostas, butterfly bushes, hydrangeas, dead heading. Putting my cushions away, storing my patio furniture. I have a nice birdbath, and bird feeders. I just added a new birdhouse. I love my summer flowers and veggie plants. I hate to see them go but fall is pretty too. I don't like the winter months, there to long and cold but we must have that hibernation time. Blessings to all. 😊❤🙏🙏🌻🍁🍂🐈🐈‍⬛ Pamela/NJ

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Mary, it is nice seeing Ohio in the fall. Do miss the smells and colors of the season. Enjoy watching you, it is so peaceful and refreshing. Love your kitty! :)

[@nancywhitten2585]

Kitties - adorable - thank you for including them and for thinking of the birds.

[@caridadrodriguez8623]

Your home and gardens are lovely. You are so talented.

[@debbied3116]

Mary, you are always an inspiration! I love how you show us what you do with your plants to get them ready for winter. Thank you for sharing!!

[@fhenderson8925]

Love every season, glad to have another on this glorious earth. So enjoy your videos, thankyou so much. Watching here in the shetland isles.

Your garden looks beautiful even in fall. You are doing everything really well. I worked in landscaping in Sweden for 15 years in the past. I live in Bisbee Arizona now making a living on Etsy. I visit Sweden every year.

[@Francine-ph7xy]

You remind me of me so much I’ll be 69 tomorrow so it’s not quite as easy now getting it all done but I love it! I have picked up furniture on the side of the road and made it beautiful so many things even built our deck with my husband and a friend! I can go on and on but you give me the get up and go to keep doing it! 😊

[@connydm729]

Wish you a Very Happy Birthday tomorrow, Francine !! 🎉 🎂 💐 🎊 Conny...(i´m 70)

Sometimes the dusty Miller comes back if undisturbed, they are pretty when dried too

[@teresafillinger9238]

I love fall and winter.

[@peterwhite9261]

Mary, I wish I had your energy. You and John and the boys and your neice keep that place beautiful, and it shows in your videos and the products you sell with so much love and care taken to prepare each one. I love your fall cleanup and fall planting. That Holly Berry will get very big. It will be nice in arrangements, wreaths and garlands. Best wishes to you all. Thanks for inspiring me.❤

[@WatersandWilderness]

I adopted a kitty, Mary. I have a Pomeranian... she is old and not as active. Watching your channel with the cats being a part of the family .... anyway, I adopted a part Siamese & part white/black kitty. She is cute as can be. I named her "Katniss".

[@TheRayjane]

Mary your property is just beautiful. You are so inspiring to me. You can do it all! Blessings lovely lady

[@marylou8236]

I love to see you pay attention to your cats in your videos and take the time to give them a pet or two. Blessings!

[@connietowler3725]

The yard looks so beautiful. All the trees, the flower beds are so neat and clean. Enjoyed this video, always look forward to Wed. Thank you

[@cyndijobes]

You’re amazing Mary. I just love your get up and go and get it done attitude very inspiring.

[@Just.D]

First year ever the deer trimmed my hostas and a few other plants for me. I beleive it iwas because of the drought.

[@joycemiraglia280]

✍Hello Mary...I used to love taking care of my flower gardens but with my age (79) and serious health problems I just put potted plants in beautiful planters for the Spring and Summer months💐 I've always loved the look of Holly with its beautiful berries and when my husband was still living we also planted Holly around our yard but after he passed away I was starting to not be able to do all that yard work requires to have a nice looking yard so I had my son-in-law dig them out and gave them to him to plant around their property. I love your kitty 🐾so cute and seeing you pet and love on him while you're working outside. I really admire you and John. You plant flowers, shrubbery, trees,etc not only for yourselves to enjoy but also for the birds etc to enjoy. I live in the Barberton-Norton area of NE Ohio. My oldest daughter (60) used to have a summer place in the country down in Kimbolten and spent every summer for almost 30 years there but we sold it 2 years ago cause taking care and maintaining 2 homes was becoming way too hard for us. I really enjoy your videos and looking forward to your next one. Good Night😴 God Bless LuvYa! Bye from Ohio🌹

[@vickyterra7272]

Your home is so beautiful. You and your husband have done an amazing job. I really enjoy watching your channel. Thank you

[@SandiCrawford-b6q]

Hate the gray days of winter but look forward to spring. Love the colors of fall.

[@maryhalliday7739]

Mary, you got alot of stuff done for the winter. Looks so good but like you, I really don't care for winter and the cold. I love, love seeing your cats. They are so pretty and healthy. ❤😊

[@kerylthomas4996]

You are such a busy lady and inspire me. Living in Western Australia I have never had to prepare gardens for winter. it get down to 3 or 4 C which we really feel. I have never seen snow!

[@sylviasams8668]

You are really a working lady. Love that you do alot for yourself and do not have to depend on John. I am kinda that way too. I love working outside.

[@jeannefoguth2339]

I love birds, too. Years ago, we learned that they loved powdered habanero powder on their seed - squirrels hate it, so more for the birds, plus habanero powder kills parasites, so win-win for the birds.... we grow our own peppers - if you do that, next year, make certain you were gloves when you harvest and IF you dehydrate your peppers, don't even think about doing that indoors.... I did that the first time ... the silver lining was that we didn't see any insects indoors for months... the down side was that it took a long time to air out our house.

[@BrianWaraksa]

You’ve inspired me Mary yet again. I’ve got to get out in my yard and trim all my shrubs and grasses. Thank you. It’s the push I needed. Have a great week.

[@wandaburton3723]

Sweet precious lady, whew, please, please be extra careful with that new trimmer. A bit over a year ago, I was trimming shrubs for my mother in law and in a split second I accidentally stuck my hand into the blades and nearly cut my index finger off. Four and half hour surgery, weeks and weeks of physical therapy later, I can somewhat feel my crooked finger. I bought a new trimmer that will only run if BOTH hands are in the correct, safe position. I truly enjoy your inspiring videos and hope to come visit there soon. Stay safe and keep up the wonderful work!

[@angelikawalsh6006]

Everything is always so beautiful and calmimg. Thank you ❤

[@tassiegirl1991]

What a beautiful day to work in a stunning garden. Looks like you must have worked up a sweat. Well done.

[@deborahcobb9064]

Thanks for the tip about the strawberries. I worked in my yard today thanks to you 🥰

Mary, you wear me out just watching you. Do you ever stop??? Your property is gorgeous!!! ❤❤❤❤from Pennsylvania ❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊

[@sharonborton195]

You did inspire me! Thank you! Also our weather in Michigan is perfect, I have been outside for many days, it is very hard for me to stay inside!

[@janehouston6822]

I’m so glad you put in the picked fence, its looks like it really belongs there. Wonderful yard!!

[@ioanagherman5952]

Wow,that was a lot off work. God bless you and your family.

[@lauragarrette9220]

Hi Mary yard work is so overwhelming ❤ but the outcome is beautiful thanks for sharing always Laura

[@janicegrenning2268]

That was good that you removed the Burning Bush as they are considered invasive!

[@gailallen2895]

"We" got a lot done! My cleanup is mainly leaves and pine straw(needles) so it stays down until too much for the grass. I love to rake and the results but sometimes I get a grabbing feeling in my back so it takes me much longer, having to take breaks. Grateful not to have rocks. We have lots of acorns so not sure if that means a hard Winter ahead. Enjoy all your blessings and thanks for sharing.

[@mpuett10049]

Everything looks so pretty outside and I love how you take care of the birds. Do you have a wonderful wonderful day

[@roxanneklafehn8516]

Autumn yard chores are satisfying, altho taxing. I envy your large wooded area in which to dispose of yard waste from seasonal trimming etc. That is a huge challenge for many gardeners. I need to look for a rechargeable trimmer....thanks for the tip re choosing one that doesn't add to arm fatigue!! I just got my gardens ready for winter so watching you was fun, especially since you seem to be having a warm fall as we've had in central VT ! Now we can dream about Spring ❤

[@Freddybender123]

I love snow I’m from Missouri born and raised but then I need light that is when I go tan❤..great work Mary like always

[@pattycarosi9618]

Mary your property looks beautiful, cozy and peaceful. Love the bird house. The watering pan for the birds I love it. Thank you for sharing. 🙏♥️

[@pama.6410]

This was very helpful and enjoyable to watch. Learned a lot! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@crickettjd]

Wisteria makes a beautiful wreath!!! I have a friend that had a wisteria vine growing along her back fence where she used to live; she would call me every year when it was time to prune it and I would take the vines home and make wreaths; I love to use honeysuckle too it has peeling bark and that is probably my favorite; they are all very pliable and can be woven into wreaths very easily, just like they do with grapevines. I don't just wind them around in a circle like the ones you get at the stores, I weave mine in and out with pieces of the vines; when I add the next piece I weave it in the opposite direction. If any of the vines start to dry out and aren't pliable enough you can place them on a tube of water and that usually does the trip.

[@susanhaddan4633]

Loved watching you do yard work - I need to plant my tulip bulbs, too! Wednesday is always a special day for me because of your videos!!

[@floraguerra3166]

I just enjoy watching your videos, thank you and Gods blessings

[@Crafty_Chari]

never thought about mowing strawberries to Winter them over - brilliant!

[@claudiamann7111]

Looks like you're ready for winter. The bird feeder looks great. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@BernadetteR-h9u]

I need a nap just watching you😊 I wish I could have been there to get some of those hydrangeas 😢

[@kellieroth1710]

Such great inspiration! Didn't know to trim my hostas down!❤❤❤❤❤

[@ingeborgbryce4197]

Thank you for such a peaceful video! Learned a lot about winterizing my backyard! Hope to one day visit the beautiful area where you live. ❤️

[@blueberrypoptart6806]

Save the marigold flowers , dry them and save the seeds for next year. I have a black and decker hand held trimmer. Perfect weight for a woman

Wow Mary the autumn trees are super beautiful around the house❤❤❤

Big lilacs. Always loved them. Was told by my former boss to wait until lilacs blooms before you plant.(northeast OHIO)

[@vickieschulze1120]

love your videos! *Lots of cat helpers with the yard work!

[@jgwood10]

When cleaning up my gardens I don’t cut back the hostas. I wait until after the first frost or two when they practically melt away. Then just a little raking does the trick. Less work!

[@roxanneklafehn8516]

YES ! I figured that out last year, finally, and it made all the difference.

[@roxanneklafehn8516]

YES !!! I finally figured that out last year and it made all the difference.

Mary I always enjoy watching you enjoying your property. Here in the middle of Nebraska I am trying to hang onto my geraniums. How did your geraniums do (the ones you put into paper sacks last winter)? I may want to try that on mine this year. We had a glorious fall with beautiful colors. Take care and God Bless America!!!!!!!!!

[@janeyjanedee2493]

I’m doing a lot of cleanup in my yard as well. I just bought a little 10 inch battery powered chainsaw and I love it.

[@mariamelo2586]

Beautiful fall day

[@gramsthebuilder5388]

I did this yesterday the yard looks so nice and clean

[@carlas872]

You always inspire me Mary! I love the idea of adding more lanterns. I bought a couple of solar lanterns from Amazon I love and will get a couple more. Love seeing Twinkle and and your grey tabby (sorry, I forgot its name).

[@marycoffee7366]

Hydrangeas make for very pretty indoor fall arrangements and can last from year to year, IMHO.

[@donnabrant9031]

The dried flowers also look pretty in your Christmas tree.

[@hollyhasegawa4240]

Wow you are so inspiring and do such beautiful work, I do understand getting ready for winter and I need to go and trim all of my perrenials for winter and clean my flower beds up. thanks for all of the great ideas and helpful suggestions, have a beautiful and blessed day, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂🥰😍💜💜💜💜

[@joyosborn4096]

Great ideas as always. You've inspired me to get busy cleaning up my own gardens. The music you used in this video is so relaxing. 😊

Thank you, Mary! Another inspiring video!

[@gracefulliving_]

Mary, I could watch your content for hours. It’s just so genuine and wholesome. I truly appreciate that so much. I kind of let out a little, “No!” As I watch you trimming your huge hydrangeas. Only, because I would have loved to have been there to gather some heads up. Do you keep any to use in your home as decor? Have a beautiful day

[@sharronschornagel2714]

Removing the hole tulip is such a great idea. I don't like the look of them left in the garden either.

[@juliaussery4303]

As always.❤️😘

[@LoraHumphrey-x7n]

You’re going to have a lot of marigolds from those seeds next summer!

[@vickiewinfrey2439]

Enjoyed I’ve got to do that.

[@jeansenner9368]

Hi Mary! In the past I have had Dusty Millers planted in my garden. I found that they can survive the cold winter months here in Wisconsin. I don’t know how they survive but I planted them in my garden this summer and will see if they come back next summer. Have you ever had them come back for you after the winter is over?

[@susanjones570]

Hi Mary, i am always watching and waiting for your videos to drop. Please tell me how do you keep the deer out of hostas. I didn't have to trim. The deer did it for me.

[@Lexine-nq8gj]

Great video.

[@valeriegould105]

Thank you Mary, for another informative video. You work so hard and have some lovely ideas. I have wondered though, when you are working in your garden, do you ever where slacks/jeans/leggings, to stop your legs getting scratched from various twigs, branches and thistles? We are so grey here in England, it is a breath of fresh air to see such bright autumnal (fall) weather.

[@lindaeshbach6494]

I love the look of your newest flower bed. I love evergreens nost of all. Please be carefulusing that tool, my sister almost cut off 2 of her fingers using somethingsimilar to it.

What is the beautiful song playing at the beginning of your videos...I love listening to it and wondered who recorded it? Thanks. Karen C.

[@SaraChumley]

Great video

[@saundrawilliams1601]

Just curious Mary, did you add wood ash from your fire pit to the Tulips that you planted? My mom always added it to her Tulip Bulbs when she planted in the fall, called it “potash”. Her Tulips were always so strong and put out the largest most bright flowers every spring. Oh, and she always added bone meal. Not a lot of either if I recall, just a light dusting of both.
