[@conniemcgehee2851]

I loved that california garden it was a perfect size for A home garden

[@MissDeb-jq6nz]

I just LOVE the filming of your garden with the lovely music 🎶 in the background.

[@Latebloomershow]

Please share. YT does not recommend. Thx!

[@marycountry]

Love the music leading into this video😊

[@Latebloomershow]

It was the beginning of the last song

The garden looks so beautiful. This time of year is actually my favorite time to walk through ours. Something about putting the plants to bed for the season, and the beautiful stragglers (zinnias, luffa, etc). It is a time for rest.

[@sharongiles6326]

It’s a good feeling to put the garden to bed. My fall squash still growing and peppers, I hope my cauliflower and cabbage make before the hard freezes come in February

[@Latebloomershow]

I hope so too!

I too live on a rock. I’m on the Pikes Peak batholith which is pink decomposed granite with very little top soil. We had our 24 x 50 foot garden and chicken co-op and run excavated so we have a flat spot and full day sun. We grow in raised beds for the most part. I completely understand growing on a rock. I was so saddened by your loss of top soil with this years heavy rains. By the end of the growing season I feel a sense of relief and know it is time to slow down, rest and recuperate. Then next year we do it all over again.

[@Latebloomershow]

Thank you!!

The only thing blooming in our yard now after a day frost/freeze are the Asters. The butterflies and bees are all over it. Some of the flowers, e.g. Lanta, Impatience & Pansies are struggling to still put forth new growth & flowers. I struggle with do I pull them now or let them go "naturally". I'm letting them go. We did clean up the main garden area today. At my age, 76, I'm wondering how many more years I have to do this. Loved seeing your garden. I need to plant sweet potatoes next year. Haven't planted any the past few years. Miss them. Our second daughter has helped us a lot these past couple of years, but she's no spring chicken at pushing 53. I planted enough garlic last year to last for two years, so I'm OK on that. Need to finish canning apples. We are in SW Missouri and when we moved here from Wis., that for every rock you pick, it will have 10 babies! Our fence line borders STONE COUNTY! I think more than a few have snuck over!!

[@Latebloomershow]

Wow so you can relate! Yes I wonder how long I can keep going it’s so rewarding and thrilling to deal with plants and to grow your own food and to know what’s in it without a partner it’s hard

[@haou132]

Blessings +++!!!

[@lilym2432]

Wish I had some of those white sweet potatoes. I haven't seen those in years. ❤

[@Latebloomershow]

I will have slips in the spring if you’re in middle Tennessee. I’m having another one for dinner. I’m gonna try to have one every night

[@JamieSantos]

Having flowers and Vegetables still growing in the garden in late October is a blessing! You know my Summer garden was a bust but my Fall garden is going strong. I am harvesting Kale, Turnips, Bok Choy, Mustards, Peppers, Zucchini and waiting on beets, carrots and Brussels Sprouts, green beans to mature. The Diablo Cosmos reseeded and are feeding the bumble and honey bees. Been harvesting seed from my Floret Dahlias and petunias. Need to plant up the pineapple tops in their own pot because I stuck them into a flower planter on the front porch and they are rooted! We just have to keep improving and adding on to our self sufficiency list. Another good video, Kaye.

[@sued.530]

Thanks for the garden updates and yes large gardens require lots of work to maintain. But you have done extremely well on your own with just a little help with infrastructure projects. Looks like the Zinnia and Marigolds are still going strong. Have a blessed weekend and sending prayers for mom..

[@Latebloomershow]

Thanks so much!

[@julesinmd2585]

What a beautiful ending to a plentiful garden, all the wildflowers have such lovely color and to see the bees still there too. Exciting to see them! Soon you’ll be sledding down your hill with the neighbors and their girls.. like last year. Wishing you a great afternoon!

[@Latebloomershow]

So nice of you And that reminds me I need to get a sled

[@gretchenarrant8334]

Your hair is so long!!! Glad you're getting things done up. We're still getting in 90s!! Crazy. Much love and hugs.

[@Latebloomershow]

Yes! Thank you!

[@chickenmama4384]

Beautiful peppers and flowers ❤

[@Latebloomershow]

Thank you for watching! Please share.

[@jeannamaynard5037]

I would love to see you do the "three sisters" method down there next year in the large open spot. You might even be able to do it twice, spring and fall. With summer squash and zucchini and snow peas or winter squash and pole beans.

[@Latebloomershow]

I don’t think I’ll be planting down there

[@jimmiegrann5822]

You are amazing!

[@Latebloomershow]

Wow, thank you!

[@readtheword3]

I must say that your perseverance sure did pay off that's great haven't seen your posts for a while , wondering about your Mom is she still with us? Good to see you dear Kay ❤️

[@Latebloomershow]

Look back through my videos maybe you missed a few but yes she still alive I was there on Wednesday and I’m going tomorrow and thank you for asking. Much love!

[@zoeshorthouse7913]

I really enjoyed the garden tour. You are an inspiration.❤ I've never heard of dehydrating sweet potatoes for doggy treats. Great idea!

[@sherihicks1427]

LOVE, love, love the music!!! Thank you for showing your gardens. I can certainly understand the excitement of planting all the things--I've done it, too--just not to your extent!😂 I also understand flat land being at a premium. I live in a very rural county in Ohio, and my yard is probably the only hilly yard there is! There's flat land beside the creek--under all the trees. The biggest piece of flat land is where previous owners have placed the garden. We enlarged it a little last year. This year I put 2 raised beds on a sliver of flat land right next to the neighbors. I find it funny that with 10 acres, that is all I can do. The front flower garden is an apothecary garden now, and it does quite well. We added 4 fruit trees this year, and I really want to do so much more. But slow and steady wins the race. I have my first and only crop of luffa hanging out in a garden that has all been turned into a fall/winter garden. With the low temperatures, I'm not giving them much hope. I'll start the luffa seedlings earlier next year. Still praying for you and your mom. ❤

[@Latebloomershow]

That is so kind of you thank you. It sounds like you’ve done the very best with what you have

[@JodiMontano]

We had a hard freeze on the 15th, 25°. It killed almost everything, including my beautiful zinnias. I tried protecting a few things under ag fabric, but it didn't help. All that remains are artichokes, bronze fennel, and Swiss Chard. Soon, I'll plant my garlic and mulch the rest of the beds for winter. 😮 Maybe I'll get some better protection for next year. It's a shame because after 2 cold nights, it's been lovely with sunny days in the 70's and 80's. I could've probably had at least another month of growing.

[@Latebloomershow]

Right?? Came close here, but, we managed to skirt the cold and have at least 10 more days of warm weather. I need the time to finish things up.

[@charliecat8891]

Hi Kaye .I drove to Sacramento yesterday to see my daughter...Idaho has turned cold..freeze came...our six months of summer is over..now on to six months of winter..but my tomatoes in greenhouse are still producing...I'm so grateful...but probably not for long...lu in idaho

[@cjpwrs8263]

Lovely music!

[@anoodono1841]

Luved the tour

[@Latebloomershow]

Thanks so much!

[@ramblinrosecottage5983]

Nice finale for the garden at the end of the season, Kaye. Those zinnias look like they don't want to let go. I have about 17 luffa on the vines waiting to ripen. Hoping they all get there before our first frost here in north Texas, which is due in about 3 weeks.

[@Latebloomershow]

Me, too! Thanks!

[@HuntingtonTownshipWatch]

Kaye, a lovely Fall garden tour!

[@darrellluck7230]

Voles didn't get their usual treats from me this year. My sweet potatoes were decimated by deer and rabbits as young plants. Worst sweet potato year I've ever had.

[@Latebloomershow]

Petey is not doing his job protecting your garden

[@jenpalazzo5728]

Kaye, are you overwintering your pepper plants inside?❤️

[@Latebloomershow]

Only the two already in pots, Serrano and orange Thai.

[@Yosef_Morrison]

Kaye, do you have any of the Tasha Tudor gardening books? I thought of her with your opening shot just standing in your garden with your long hair down your back. You remind me of the old Victorian days photo's when the young girls would be photographed with their hair down. As an actress I know you have suitcases full of portfolio shots. You should find a lovely Victorian style day gown and take some artsy photo's in the garden with your hair down. You could photo shop them with some sepia or tin type look. Add some morning fog if you can't catch it naturally. Okay I'm shutting up. I'm silly.

[@amariedavidson1]

You could have prepared meals for years for the price of that fence😂
