We are doing a massive garden clean up today. The dahlias are being dug up and divided as well. This video was filmed right around our first hard frost.
Thank you for watching today's video!

It's so great to have a sisters help ♥️♥️♥️👍🇺🇸🗝️

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Yes it is 🙌😊

[@hope_ann]

I have to do this with the garden I’ve inherited. ❤️ I might play this in my headphones as I work outside.

[@KathysTube]

Nice to have your sister and mom helping out... thanks Cara 👍🎄

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Yes it is! they were a big help :) -Cara

[@myrustygarden]

Oh my goodness your sister is in shorts 🥶 it’s freezing cold here my shorts are a memory 🤣. Lovely to have helpers have a spectacular week Cara and family ❤ stay safe, Ali ☔️🇨🇦

[@bluebirdhomestead]

We did both work up quite a sweat that day it was warmer than it looked. She wears shorts in the winter too though haha. -Cara

[@gardenstatesowandsew]

That is so nice of your sister and your Mom

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Yes it really was 😊 I am grateful for their help

[@adventures707]

I looked for your video this morning, but didn't see it right at 7am. I was worried you weren't going to upload today. I am glad you did!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Sorry about that, yes I had forgotten to schedule it to post. 🙃-Cara

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

That was interesting. I have always wanted to learn how to store bulbs that won't survive winter. Currently, the only bulb plants that I grow are the ones that will survive the winter freeze underground. 💖💖💖 I am glad you got help. You have a large garden area to clean up. I got some of my garden clean-up done two weeks ago. Too late to do more, the winter snow has arrived! 😳❄️ I did make a video, but it is long! Even though I tried to speed up and trim out bits. I wish I had the skills you young kids have with editing. But I do what I can. 💖💖💖

[@bluebirdhomestead]

After I divided the dahlias and let them dry for a day I wrapped them in plastic wrap and stored them in a cool place. Last year I stored them in vermiculite, so we shall see how they keep in comparison. -Cara

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Hi Cara, wow 👌 great having Mom and Sis to help you 👍👩‍🌾🙏 I'm still hearing little voices in the background. My favorite Zinnias are mauve in color and they resemble a Dahlia. I hope you, Ryan and your whole family have a blessed week ahead and a wonderful Christmas and New Year 🎅🎄🤶 Take care ❤Peggy❤

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Ohh mauve colored zinnias sound so pretty Peggy! Do you know the variety of your favorite ones? Thank you I hope you have a great Christmas too! -Cara

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

@bluebirdhomestead as I recall, they were California Giants and the blooms were 3-4" across. I'm thinking they were Burpees and I bought them at Lowe's. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas 🤶🎄🎅

[@bluebirdhomestead]

@@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920 wow 4" blooms sound gorgeous! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas too :) -Cara

[@evitaslittleparadise]

Hi Cara! I am so jealous about your weather😊. We have snow over here at -3°C (26.6 °F). It is so satisfying to see you do all the garden clean-up. I still have to do a lot too but I have to wait for better weather conditions🙄. Very nice of your sister helping you out🌲🌴🌳. Have a great week! - Evita

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Ohh burrr that sounds so cold Evita! I am sorry that winter has blown in so quickly there. I hope you have a great week too! -Cara

[@Yahuahsword]

Hi Cara! I had purple, pink/purple, and a few orange zinnias in my garden this year, and I had great success growing them. A lady let me have some seeds for red ones that I will be planting next season, and I can't wait. I really like zinnias because they are so easy to grow, and when I started to cut them to bring inside, they started to multilply and grow very tall. Needless to say, I had quite a few bouquets around my house throughout the season.😊 Love the haircut, by the way 😍

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Oh those all sound so beautiful! I love that when you cut zinnias they produce even more flowers too. I always feel a little bad cutting flowers outside, but it defiantly helps me feel better when I know that by cutting I am making even more grow. :) -Cara

Best day. Thanks 😊

[@bluebirdhomestead]

😊 Thanks for watching!

[@capecodcottagegarden]

I bet it feels great to get this project at least half done! I did similar this weekend in my garden but with all my herbaceous perennials...I still have not touched my veggie garden thats next weekends project. So nice you have your sister to help!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

I am really thankful for all of her help too. Hey that's great! I haven't touched my perennials yet. I plan on probably leaving those until early spring to cut back. -Cara

[@GardeningOnTaylorMountain]

Definitely feels good to have the garden beds cleaned up! It was a blessing that your Mom and sister came to help out, I imagine you girls had a fun day together too! I love Benary’s Giants Zinnia ( all the colors but Wine and Gold are favorites). I also grow the Queeny Series but I kind of lean toward the Benary’s Giants.

[@bluebirdhomestead]

It was defiantly a blessing that is for sure Bobbi. I am really thankful for any help I can get and soak up the time to crank some stuff out. The binary's giants are really fun! I do love how big they get. I grew some white ones this year and they were some of my favorites :) -Cara

[@GardeningOnTaylorMountain]

@@bluebirdhomestead I need to add some white Benary’s Giants!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Do it! They were beautiful this year, I loved them :) @@GardeningOnTaylorMountain

[@jackiek4159]

Love your garden! I really want to plant zinnia's and Dahlia's in my garden next year! 😍🙌🏻🌸

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you! Dahlias and zinnias are two of my favorite types of flowers! You will love them :) -Cara

[@painchaud2000]

I have to go back and check out your garden with the flowers spread out. I'm doing a more beautiful food garden next year and I want to incorporate flowers with the veggies too

[@bluebirdhomestead]

I have several videos showing the flowers, but here is one of them kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIayXquYns9joZY Having flowers interwoven through out the garden has brought me a lot of joy this year. I highly recommend it! What types of flowers are you thinking about growing? -Cara

[@sowinthecity]
