It's a mad scramble to finish fall gardening jobs!

[@susangautier787]

Thanks for being real with us. Too bad some people are so publicly critical (regarding your shed). You accomplish so much and share your great “can do”attitude. Thanks for giving us a peak into your world.

[@sharonallen805]

Usually the people who criticized your shed are people not only have a messy shed but also have a messy house. But who cares!!!

[@tresawilkins7159]

She's the real deal, so let's just enjoy the ride!

[@beverlyschultz9276]

Erin, I love real you are! I have done compost to spread still and you have given me permission to be an imperfect gardener too!! ❤❤❤

[@gardengirl66]

Erin, I love your style, your “realness” and your can do attitude. I appreciate that you share the good and the bad! The naysayers can just go troll somebody else. We love you!

[@didisinclair3605]

Thanks for taking us around with you, Erin! I broke my ankle on October 16... 8 weeks no weight bearing! (so far!) So I can just look wistfully out the window at my garden. A dear friend did do some clean up for me, so it's not so bad. Thanks so much for your wonderful videos!

[@heidikozar2287]

Erin, thank you so much. I also was very late getting fall chores done, thank you grandkids for sharing the flu and RSV! So all the beautiful 70 degree days were spent trying to breathe on the sofa. I scurried around like a crazy woman yesterday, planting garlic, mulching dahlias, digging up elephant ears. It is encouraging to know we’re all in this boat together. And who ever gave you grief about your shed needs to get a life. We love seeing all your experiments and trials. I grew purple bell flower from seed last year all because you spoke of it. Never heard of it before. Thank you for everything you do, including freezing your buns off for us. Thanks

[@kandyharris2195]

Gardening isn't glamorous!! Don't deserve shade thrown at any of us !! Happy gardening 👩‍🌾

[@sherylemoore8626]

I am so happy to see I am not the only one who still has chores to do to put the gardens to bed! I too have bulbs to plant. Thank you for sharing your successes as well as your foibles! As gardeners, it is important to support one another. As people, it is important to support one another. When people throw shade, spread light or a little compost, whatever works! I wonder how many shed Nazis' are willing to help clean, just sayin'. 🤔😉

[@sharonolson2222]

This is real life and sometimes things get pushed back or not done at all. Everything isn’t always picture perfect and I think it’s pretty safe to say that the people who are critical about how tidy a garage is aren’t always perfectly tidy and put together either!

[@ryanbrown5996]

glad to know I'm not the only procrastinator!

[@rosaleejo]

Love how honest and open you are. We took a fall vacation and our beautiful fall quickly turned. We came home to freezing temps and snow. I cannot do any more clean up. So, next spring we’ll see what happens. Thank you for showing what to do with frozen pots and especially dahlias in frozen soil. I have one dahlia in a pot. I’ll try to rescue it since we too haven’t hit 0.

[@sallyloosli4379]

Oh my gosh, you make me laugh so hard!! I love your 2nd take clap 😂 I'm in the same spot you are. No dahlias pulled yet. Bulbs to put in the ground. 🙄 Soggy hosta, peonies and phlox . Thanks for the encouraging and entertaining video!!!!!

[@sbarton291]

Erin what I enjoy most about your videos is that you keep it real and that's what many of us can relate to. You don't have many acres with several employees and have an abundance of funds to expend on one project after another. I'm sure we'd all like that but it's not reality. You inspire us to do what we can with what we have, whether it's recycling plants, doing very late seasonal chores, making do with lack of funds, having a messy space....you keep it real! Also, I want to thank you for suggesting (albeit through Harvest and Chill, about the photo container for seed storage. Initially I was keen on the idea because I wanted something vintage, some old tin or something with character. After not being able to find what I had in mind I purchased the photo box and love it! It works out wonderfully. Thank you again and keep up the hard work.

[@joshrankin3238]

You had me at ‘’should have done two weeks ago…” so relatable haha same

[@stephaniebalducci6248]

Lol! You're the best!! The majority of us can't do it all exactly the same each year. I blew it horribly all year. Thank goodness gardening is as individual as it is! I'm telling you, when someone gives me grief about my yard or shed (even though they're right) I feel like I should have a gift salami to hand them and say "you win". 🤣 I look forward to your videos so much. Just great and down-to- Earth. Also, gardening is to be enjoyed..anyone who picks on another person, really isn't living happy. Think on that...insults don't even occur in the mind of a happy individual. Maybe a cheap salami is what they need 🤣

[@martinlugus7242]

You were "at your best" on this one. Hope you'll do another one when things warm up next week.

[@guntaweiland3428]

Don’t apologize. If folks are offended by a less than perfect garden - it’s DIRT for heaven’s sake - let them go elsewhere. Love your attitude! Peace!

[@nicolechew1029]

I'm with you girl. Lots of things I still need to do! And I'm sure your shed area would just make me feel better about my own mess 🤣 We need a new series, "wine and winter"!!!

[@annbrown3609]

You’re not alone, Erin, trying to finish up. Those bulbs you planted will be beautiful in the spring. Thanks for sharing.

[@michellehochrein1971]

Glad I’m not the only one this year.

[@renejohnson37]

I too was led astray by a beautiful fall. Dahlias blooming until 10 days ago. So I had to leave them for the bees. Oh well. There’s always next year. A Gardeners’ mantra I think.

[@mrsbeckydaisy]

I think most of us get caught with things to do before a big weather change. It’s called just being human. 😊(shame on those who threw shade at you for not having a perfectly organized shed or garage. It’s not important enough to be perfect, for peats sake it’s a shed!!)

[@danielallen138]

Probably unintentional, but I love substituting peat's sake for Pete's sake! So appropriate for those of us who garden!

[@judithanderson6132]

“We do what we can do”, Yes to that!

[@carlas872]

Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I'm in good company. I also got completely caught off guard and lulled into a false sense of comfort with my garden. I had over a thousand bulbs to plant and as timing it between the cold rain and the snow we got last week. Thankfully my husband helped and we got it done! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[@bethheerten1132]

Carla, with all those bulbs your garden will be beautiful this spring. Kudos to your hubs for helping out.

[@DalhiaSun]

I just opened this space to say exactly what the person before me said. Thank you for being real with us! Thank you for being normal. Thank you for not sticking your private parts in our faces! Just love you as you are! Thank you thank you Thank you!

[@lorindachristine3291]

Thanks for being such a trooper in that brisk weather to reassure the rest of us lulled into complacency with the gentle start to autumn. But, ugh, who gives someone else shade for how they keep their garage/shed space?! You keep being you and doing ALL the things that you do. 💚 Immaculate garages are for people who have no other hobbies!

[@lindaannb]

My thoughts exactly!

[@heathermcelroy7171]

Keeping it real😄. We love you Erin!

[@dixiewiederhoeft8256]

I planted tulips in an old metal tub last year and stored the tub in my retired parent’s un-heated milkhouse over winter. I watered them a bit but maybe should have done it more over winter. In spring when green peeked out, I moved them outside. The tulips lasted for weeks and weeks. They were beautiful. And they came up at a sad time for our family as my dad had just passed away. So this fall, I thought I would do it again. I bought more bulbs and the cold got here before I could plant them. So this week, I will be planting that old metal tub with tulips again. And when the anniversary of losing my dad comes, I will remember to go check my tulips 🌷

[@sc00badive]

Great job Erin, you got a lot done on a really cold day. Nice goin.

[@kimpaynter]

Your awesome !!! The things you have to do for winter wow!!! Hey mean people remember when you point the finger you have 3 looking right back at you .

[@marybeth4002]

Right there with you - I was planting the remainder of my bulbs last night in the dark just so I could beat the weather/frozen ground. Life isn't perfect - and that certainly includes my unorganized garage. Touche' to shade throwers.

[@enatp6448]

Good to know I'm not alone in my late gardening to do's!

[@janethouckanderson265]

You are just awesome. You get right to the topic of the video instead of repeating and repeating what you are going to do. Not a whole lot of chit chat. For me, I'm looking for the information and what you are doing. I live in zone 8b, SW Washington state. The coldest we have had so far is 23 - and that' s pretty cold. for us Looking at 42 now: 8:30AM, PST, Sunday, 11/27/22. Still time to get bulbs in the ground here too. Thanks for your videos.

[@Sullivan_Owen]

not only do I admire that you're getting stuff done in the cold but you're actually filming, when I'm running around trying to wrap up I'm loathe to turn the camera on because I feel it takes me that much longer. Was going to say I can't believe people critiqued your shed but then I had a video get picked up by the Xmas algorithm this year and I'm getting about 40 "you talk to much" comments a week now 😂

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

Glad you mentioned putting tulips in pots, I did so last year but they did not survive. I think that I did the opposite and over watered, also we had a late frost, and they atrophied and rotted. I plan to try again, but have been afraid to. Fingers crossed for yours and mine.

[@danielallen138]

7° wow! We haven't gotten anywhere near that cold here in NE Ohio. I have felt so far behind this autumn, more so than usual. I think it's because we had mostly lousy weather in September, which is usually one of the loveliest months here. But we've had several reprieves, during which I try to prioritize and get caught up on at least the most important tasks. Today I finally got my narcissus bulbs planted. I found some various bulbs in the garage from last autumn that never got planted, so if I get a chance, I'll put them in the ground. Nothing to lose, right? All of the plants I bring inside over the winter are in the sunroom. Here's hoping for a winter that isn't too horrific!

[@laurawilliamscastleberg8726]

I laughed out loud at the tool frozen in the container. I found one in mine yesterday too. I am usually on top of all the fall things in the garden, but not this year. I did the same thing you did, enjoyed the warm, mild fall, and then suddenly it froze (Green Bay, WI). It all works out in the end.

[@leneb1912]

I am still 'planning' to plant more bulbs and plants in Zone 7A. Also got fooled by warmer than usual temperatures. Gotta bring the grandkids over for help (at a cost) .🤣😂🤣

[@MelindaBrooks-vj3fr]

i laughed so hard at this video! Thanks Erin!

[@CatCaretakerID]

I just finished my chores in the garden this past Sunday. Winter caught me off guard here in the Idaho Panhandle. Lovely Autumn weather disappeared in one day and I hadn't gotten everything done. Thank goodness it was a bit warmer Thanksgiving weekend and I could get everything I still had to do finished.

[@kerrydibiasio3784]

People need to get a life if they care what your garage looks like!! Omg that's terrible. You are amazing and thank you for being so real! My kind of gardening!

[@BellaSC]

I can totally relate. I’m sooo behind this year. I’m of the mind gardening is never a completed job, not enough hours in the day. Ironically, it’s also what I love about gardening, always something to do.

[@diannetedesko1923]

Can’t believe people are so critical of things so unimportant, I value your content and appreciate what you share with us that I would never even notice what your shed looks Iike . Haters need to get a life and be kind to others who do us viewers a favor and quit the bad vibes. If you don’t like it don’t view.

[@darrinhall5265]

Absolutely love you Erin! Greetings from Maine. I appreciate your honesty and realness about gardening.

[@judymiddleswart9350]

I’m sorry but no one needs to be judge mental regarding a utube garden video on the shape of a shed garage etc.. just rude “IF YOU CANT SAY NICE DONT SAY ANYTHING “!!! I’m so impressed by your major effort in the garden Erin under frigid temps!!! YOU ARE A GARDEN ROCK STAR!!! 😆

[@gloriinher40s]

Erin, you make gardening so much less intimidating when you show us that even you make the occasional oopsie. Thank you for that! I wanted to plant some bulbs for spring but I thought I waited too long. Now I'm thinking I may have some time!

[@lilyw.1788]

My husband bought a leaf collector/ mulcher? machine and it was a game changer for us. Now we do have a small yard but it made leaf collecting so much faster and easier than the traditional leaf blower plus the lawn mower mulching. It is light weight and have a great suction and mulches the leaves into a bag and then we just dump it on the beds as we go

[@upnorth21]

Can so totally relate! Our 17 inch snowstorm in Michigan really through me off. As you said the garden was looking good, so hard to cut back until plants really died off. Yesterday, spreading my shredded leaves, still have bulbs to put in and every time my husband goes to shed to get something I cringe, there is so much clean up to do in there! Outside first!

[@cyndi_acrossthelake]

You're not the ONLY one!! We had an outstanding fall across Lake Michigan in Grand Haven and I'm doing catch-up work in my garden in the cold, too.

[@valiumsurbanjungle2041]

I don't even know how you can even be outside in that kind of cold, but congratulations, you got so much done!! We're on the same boat since we've been having one of the mildest autumns ever and suddenly the temperatures dropped (min. night temps are constantly under 10°C/50°F), so I've been running around all weekend trying to bring all of my tropical plants indoors, before it's too late!! 😱 Aaaah procrastination... 😤

[@TEPO--]

So good and well done, thank you. I live at 6500' elevation in the Sierra Nevada, (Lake Tahoe). We had a gorgeous "extended" Autumn and I'm feeling so validated by this episode of yours. The "last minute scramble" pre ground freeze is never really mentioned online, but hardy climate Gardner's certainly relate. I love that you mentioned the need to straighten up the bulb storage area of your shed/garage as I too had the same need as I was hauling in pots, bulbs, tubers, tools, etc.... When Winter sets in more, no more "warm" days to be had and the garden is fully tucked in until the Spring, may you enjoy being cozied up by the fire, relaxing, warm and daydreaming your next years garden..... Thanks for sharing your late fall gardening reality, you had me giggling. Seasons Greetings, Tara

[@clarechomyn9686]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me know what even you who are such a great creative gardener have to play catch up also. I am so far behind and we here in up state PA have had our first snow dusting and low of 12° already. I took a break and went to sunny southern CA in the beginning of this month even though I wasn't close to finishing my clean up. Now I'm play catch with the weather and frozen ground. Love your Laid back attitude. Thank you for all of your great inspiration. Love your channel.

[@jeangardensinIllinois]

The best part of gardening is that “it happens”! No worries if you get it done in the fall or in the spring. Enjoy the process when you can. Thanks Erin.

[@willaerley7140]

A fist bump to my fellow shed slob. 👊

[@DeAnne9743]

Glad I’m not the only one! Thank you for keeping it real, Erin.

[@teresalegacy7099]

Thanks for making me feel more normal - doing the mad scramble too this year with blessings of nice weather unexpectedly.🇨🇦

[@berlinberlin577]

Live in Michigan across the lake from Chicago. Got caught up in the beautiful fall and then unexpectedly we had 10 inches of snow and then 2 more days of lake effect snow so in total over a foot. Melted this week so iI'm n exactly the same place as you! Chilly but not regretting the beautiful hours just enjoying the late blooming beauty of my garden with my Martini, watching the sunset and being outside relaxing when the weather was beautiful. Totally appreciate your attitude! What doesn't get done will be there in the spring cleanup! Thanks for honest chill factor. made me smile and there with you.

[@Daffodils2Daisies]

Hi Erin! I planted some tulips in pots this year too. My biggest problem is forgetting to water them also 😂👀 thanks for the reminder lol

[@deannewilliams3321]

[@bluesky7226]

Yep, it happens!

[@lindamiller394]

Hang in there. You will get it done. I am a procrastinator. But I usually get it done and in spring no one knows the difference. Thanks for the video.

[@kimbar11]

I live in the suburbs of Chicago and we had the same weather patterns as you. I felt like I was watching myself run around and do garden jobs, discover frozen soil, deal with frozen pots, etc. It was very relatable!!

[@annwoleben5439]

I really enjoyed this video as I think most of us have been caught off-guard by the weather. One day it's 70 and the next day in the low 40s to high 30s. Also, I wish I could send some of our leaves to you; we have an abundance of leaves and I have never seen so many acorns as we have this year. We live in coastal Virginia and I still have geraniums blooming on our deck. Until this weekend we were 10 inches below with our rainfall. I have planted some bulbs, but I still have a few bags to plant. I guess this is what makes gardening so much fun and keeps us on our toes. By the way, if people were "upset" by your shed/garage, I would hate to think what they would say about ours - a combination of items from two sets of parents who downsized, but didn't want to dispose of said items. You have a positive spirit and that's what counts!

[@jenniferolson7296]

This is why I love you Erin! I procrastinated and have many bulbs to get in the ground! Life happens and we need to remember that all we can do is try our best! Where are your Newfies? Don’t they love the cold?,😂

[@shelleyscarborough9171]

Honestly thought OMG! There is a bear on her deck!! LOL. It was the dog.

[@petefredrick3784]

Never a dull moment with you! Thanks for keeping it real! So enjoyed this video!

[@lindasomerville4450]

Hi Erin, I had the same issue. Lovely weather working slowly at getting things cut back as light frost took them. Bought 50% off bulbs, them the polar vortex moved in for 4 days & also dumped snow. It finally warmed up & melted. I rescued my dahlias (first time growning) they are still wrapped in newspaper in the wheelbarrow in the garage. It’s been just above freezing so they should be ok for while yet. Got my bulbs planted & hostas cut back this last week. I have about 30-40 minutes of daylight each day when I get home to run out & work. The clematis still needs to be cut so I can start Christmas lights on my porch. But it’s raining today. So the fun continues next week. My garage is a disaster, so don’t worry about your shed. It’s all about the flowers 🌸😀

[@HookedandRooted]

Yay warm water to the rescue! glad you got those up. I still have Alliums to plant also Erin. Hopefully this week!

[@Thefamilyfarm1957]

I like when you said you got lulled intoThe warm fall and didn’t get your stuff done I laughed because I did the exact same thing and I’m doing just what you’re doing now what a weird fall thanks for keeping it real

[@elmaelmar2761]

I just don’t understand this world anymore!! It’s like a free for all with nasty comments. These are grown people and they should know better.. and we wonder why our youth are a mess?? I don’t know what was wrong with me this year but I got all my bulbs planted and got everything done. A first for me!! Love your videos keep them coming!!!💕💕

[@carollochridge1898]

I'm so glad I saw this recommendation for the waterproof winter gloves. My hands have frozen so many times and even though we are going into summer they will be waiting for me for next fall, winter and spring. Thanks for the link, Erin!

[@wildesfam]

Loved this video. You’ve encouraged me to get my bulbs planted in pots as I planned…but chickened out because I’m gone in the winter and didn’t know how to keep them moist. Now I realize once they are frozen, I should be good for awhile. I’m sorry people gave you grief for your garage. We can’t all be perfect like they apparently are. Some of us have a life beyond gardening 🤷‍♀️

[@andreabee3278]

I was also out panic-planting bulbs in the cold this weekend. I plant bulbs in plastic pots and bury the pots in the garden. I cover mine over with leaves and a couple inches of dirt. In the spring I dig them out and put them in a warm sunny spot, pretty much zero winter maintenance required. I do tete-a-tete daffs and tulips together. I'm in southern ontario canada, it most definitely gets as cold here as it would for you in Wisconsin. I've tried unheated garages but the bulbs just rot on me here. Thanks for your channel, I've learned so much from you!

[@karenwestby-gibson758]

Jumping worms? Never heard of them. Of course, I’m in z8a in central MS. Enjoying seeing your progress. Gardeners are never finished.

[@Braedensground]

A tip on storing your tulip pots inside your unheated garage is to stack the potted bulbs inside a covered galvanized garbage can. Mice love those tulips in the winter months. They will chew through a plastic garbage can to get to them. Love your tulip choices. That Slawa tulip is a face along with similar Gavota. Stay warm up your way.

[@jcpendleton992]

Erin, love all your videos. You always have useful information to share whether a success or mistake. You provide so much information, I know I am a better gardener thanks to you. Love your kitchen backsplash, can you share the tiles you used. Keep making great videos so I can keep watching and learning. ❤

[@janschubart4419]

Hi its so admirable that your out in your garden on a cold day and digging in frozen ground. Here in South Africa it never gets that cold, and this year we sort of went from our winter straight to summer temperatures all our spring flowers could not cope with the heat and the rains were late. So a different kind of challenge here to what you have, but when you love your garden, we can only try our best. Love your channel

[@BlackSwampSurvivor]

Love your videos. You crack me up! Now I don't feel so bad about my haphazard gardening here in northern Ohio.

[@georgette9097]

MN Z4 This is great, Erin! Because of your post, I was motivated to get outside today (Sunday) and plant the last 36 tulip and 10 allium bulbs in the ground. It was a balmy 42 degrees and I have an area that is blanketed in leaves, so it worked. Thank you for having relatable content!

Your garden/yard looks beautiful. I enjoy seeing its seasonal evolution. Also appreciated seeing the majestic black patio pup. Happy holidays to your family.

[@RebeckaKnox]

Making me chuckle as we are kindred spirits. I have so many jobs yet to finish in my yard. Bulbs are not in the ground and compost/leaf mulch has not been spread. Good news, I did dig my dahlias. Hoping it warms this weekend and I find extra time for my bulbs.

[@swbates3]

Best video ever - LOL. Seriously, nice to know I’m not the only one. Just ordered the gloves (in blue 😉)! Thanks Erin!

[@cindyscharr457]

I just love your ability to think of what kind of possibility's are still available for planting bulbs in late season. In the ground that is still frozen, where you think it is to late to plant, what would happen if you did the water trick there too???? I'm in zone 4 and I've never tried anything this late in the season. It is so interesting that you are planting tulips in baskets. I can hardly wait to see how this works come springtime. You are wonderful and so are your garden helping Newfoundland's !!!!

[@mitzi605]

This is the longest and most beautiful fall I can remember. I had a 30 ft cedar tree removed,it was a volunteer and had so many seedlings. My garden was invaded. I ran out of chips from the tree cutting, but just about got the minimum I wanted to get done. It amazes me that the chip pile seemed so large but I still needed more.

[@patriciaglass1743]

I, too, am in a mad scramble. I have 200 tulips left to plant & we have been cold and the ground is too hard for my auger. Happy to see the pot planting of tulips. I am going to give that a try as well. I am so sorry you took flack about your shed. Shame on them

[@patdelaney191]

[@suzntrott]

Oh I hear you as I’m in Milw…it was 70 on Monday & 30 on Friday & all the pots I had outside were frozen. I had to leave for a trip too, so now I’m back & cleaning it all up. The pots are still frozen, so I have to move them in the garage so in a empty them. I have been playing around with forcing or growing bulbs in pots in our unseated garage. I was told on a gardening FB group the issue with bulbs in an unseated garage is they thaw & freeze & that makes the tulips rot. So last year I put the bulbs in pots in the garage & then when the soil froze, I put them in a plastic bin full of leaves… this was to help the pot stay frozen & then in a few months, I removed the lid. My issue is I examined the bulbs briefly to see if they looked like they were mushed & they didn’t… but I don’t recall how they looked when they bloomed. I need to keep better notes on that.

[@daiseegray9110]

Hi Erin, you’re not the only one still working in your garden. I got my bulbs planted a few weeks ago, West Michigan near Lake Michigan. It was a little cold. Glad we had a warm thanksgiving weekend I was able to get my greens in my pots for the holidays and cut down a few perennials.

[@emmalavenham]

We all need to take more time to enjoy the garden! But wow, we got caught off guard too... It was just too warm here in New England, and then it wasn't and there were the 100s and 100s of bulbs LOL...
