Should I Or Shouldn't I In My Fall Garden

[@shirlyanderson6758]

Thank you Linda for sharing your garden this time of year. I’m in Dallas, TX and have implemented a lot of your tips since moving to Texas. I love rescuing mums this time of year and enjoying their flowers the following year. This year I’ll adopt your method of sticking to one color though 😅

[@eleanormarcellus8676]

Love how you interspersed neighborhood decor with your garden tour

[@lindaables7492]

I am so glad you are here today. My day just goes better with you and Stewart in it. I leave my mums in the ground and they come back the next year. Thank you for your suggestions. God bless.

[@justanonymous5681]

Love your neighborhood Linda with all of the different architecture, decorations, etc. etc. You have great neighbors and appreciate you giving us tours of their homes. 😊

[@darbi1868]

Such a beautiful neighborhood Linda, thank you for sharing it with us. I love all the different architectural styles & the creative Halloween decor. Such fun! I would have to kick around those leaves too!

[@GardenHappy]

Hello Linda and Stuart I hope you had a beautiful safe and fun Halloween. Your property looks amazing. Another beautiful video with lots of inspiration. So crazy here in California my mums bloom three times a year. 💚💛🧡❤️💜💙 Liz

[@karenlehn2351]

Hi from Minnesota! Where I was sweating doing last minute yard work Tues. and two days later Halloween we woke to snow on the ground,and all my Witches,headless Edwardian Lady, all m6 Monster , all lined with wet snow! Welcome to Minnesota Fall.🎃🎃🎃🍁🍁🍁

[@socorromolina-sm9vy]

I would leave those pink flowers ( cant remember name) because they are still healthy -blooming their Lil hearts!🤩🌸

[@juliabinford6500]

I love the tree canopy in your neighborhood. The garden is doing great. Like you, I use white in many of my perennials. Great idea about using the mum foliage.

[@terribhatt4303]

Hope I'm not too late with this tip, but not only can you replant/reuse mums, but you can do the same with sunpatiens! It is very hardy. I bring it indoors in pots, cut it back to an inch or two above the soil line and just occasionally water it over the winter (I am in zone 6). I bring it back out in the spring after last frost and it explodes back to life. Beautiful walk around your yard and neighborhood as always!

[@brendacejda7069]

Thank you for the tip on the sunpatients! I didn't know that, and now that I do, I'm going to bring my pots into my enclosed porch and try it! I appreciate it, very much!

[@ShirleyThorpe]

I mulch up all my leaves and my neighbors Leaves and put them around all my plants. Those Maple leaves are so pretty when there mulched up

[@beverlyasleson3321]

What a nice walk in your beautiful neighborhood and Halloween decorations can’t wait to see the house inside that’s for sale.

[@yingvang1276]

I few months back I saw a design I wanted to create but don't want to spend a ton of money on boxwoods, I saw your boxwood basils and thought to myself, that's what I'm going to use in place of boxwoods. ❤❤❤

[@LadyCourtney13]

Well, my property isn't small, 2 acres, but I do blow all leaves out of the large flower beds I have and cut them up with the lawn mower, and put them in wind rows, where I take my push mower with the grass collection bag on and mow over them again and pick them up. I spread on all my raised beds, a few inches thick, my beds where I will plant my dahlias, and around my fig trees. I sprinkle blood meal over the beds and water them in, almost all of those leaves are composted by spring.

[@shirlyanderson6758]

Hi Courtney. Do you spread the blood meal over the leaf mulch? If so, why not before mulching? TIA

[@PleasantPrickles]

I always appreciate a tour of your stunning neighborhood. Each house is unique! I guess home owners were in charge of picking their own home designs way back when, instead of one builder putting up a whole neighborhood? I took the lazy route and did all my tulips in pots this year since they never come back from year to year in the ground in my climate in Maryland. I always lift and replant them. Some of my mums come back every year, I leave them just in case. 🌱🌱🌱😀🌿🎃

[@lindylou3519]

I so enjoyed the walk with you thru your neighborhood. So lovely & well kept. Love the big trees. My fav house was the white antebellum home. I blow most of my leaves into my garden beds. It’s like a winter blanket. Come early spring I rake & blow a lot of them back out to clean things up. I dump them near our lake. 🎃🍁 I’m in GA on just an acre.

[@paulab7454]

I absolutely love my Lantana and Pentas! I have some that's been coming back for years here in SC, we just trim them back.

[@rosemariemello6675]

You have a beautiful neighborhood 😍

[@chrisogrady4956]

Extra special video! I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful neighborhood tour. Your garden looks amazing. I am eager to see your next stage of garden plans unfold. Looking forward to seeing more of the lovely home for sale. I would leave the pentas as long as they continue to provide vibrant color.

[@abcnoyb]

Our city curbside collects our leaves, mulches them down and uses it to compost our public park and bedding areas.

[@LisaBeaver-r4e]

I can’t believe you don’t have yard pickup. Here in Ontario Canada we have yard waste pick up all growing season long and in the fall we have leaf pickup. It is all taken to large compost sites where in the spring you can pick up free compost for your gardens.

[@LindaVater]

I know! I have talked to our mayor in the past about it… But so far no movement.

[@BernadetteCorleyTroge]

We have drop-off and pickup sites here in St. PAUL, MN, but we can also pay a fee to have someone pickup all the materials that can be composted. I like this method because it allows people to choose.

[@ceahorse56]

I find fall clean up so satisfying! Every year I say next year I won’t overdo the planting , next year I will not! 😂

[@mkitchens8163]

Zone 7B/8A, N MS. I am pulling out annuals a few at a time to make it easier. I set November 1st as my deadline on trying to keep any annuals going. We got 1.4 inches of rain yesterday, the first rain in over a month, so a lot of things really perked up. Right now, I'm collecting seeds and taking cuttings. 10 day outlook doesn't show any cold temps. By the way, Linda, did you send that squirrel with the Oklahoma football team to Oxford MS?

[@VickyElyse]

Another great video. Enjoyed the walk around your neighborhood. 🎃 We finally got rain tonight, first in a month.

[@Finnswife3]

I mulch leaves with the mower and put them on top of cut back perennials, on top of my vegetable bed and some goes back into the grass. Some leaves are bagged and either put to the curb or given away to other gardeners for their compost or vegetable gardens. I only got about 100 kids last night but that was a good turn out for me!

[@Corinne-rc4xm]

Great video! Love the walk and seeing the decorations. Also, have to say, great outfit! It’s probably one of my favourites… casual but good looking. I would leave the pentas… they are beautiful. I live in the northwest outside Vancouver, B.C. and because I go away for 4 months through the winter I have to cut a lot of stuff down that most people wouldn’t cut until early spring. It makes the yard look a little barren… 😎🇨🇦

[@gardengirl7446]

Loveee this tour ❤

[@michellemihalko2302]

I personally would leave the Pentas for the butterflies. I have a couple of questions. Why have you been wearing hand braces. I wear at night for carpal tunnel syndrome. Also, when will you be planting your bulbs/tulips or others? I live in the Houston area and was wondering when I should go ahead and plant. And,what will you do with the lantana when you dig it up? I love watching all of your videos and have learned so much from you. I just ordered your garden journal. Can’t wait to get it!

[@darrylgrimaldi5101]

In Oklahoma, zone 7a, we typically plant them mid November or around Thanksgiving. That said, we keep our eye on the weather and if we see an early freeze or super cold weather, we get them in when we can. I think December THRU Jan is a good time for your zone.

[@michellemihalko2302]

@ thank you!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Happy Halloween!!!

[@elliebee2012]

Just beautiful Linda!!

[@anaharp4505]

Because I have a smallish urban yard I can rake or blow out my garden beds into my grass walking paths where I then run the mower over them. Most then get tossed back as mulch after I put down a thin layer of compost on the beds. I make one bag of leaf tea to use next year. If I have any leaves left, those leaves go to a cousin and her daughter for their food forests.

[@lindylou3519]

Leave the pentas. They look so good! Lantana should come back next year. Cut it way back & see.

[@ElaineKrysiak]

I STILL kick leaves around and I'm 58 years old!

[@peggy-ann1961]

70 here, kicking leaves is the best! 🇨🇦🍁🍁🍁

[@marialicemorgan19]

My husband and I purchased a blower/vacuum. We suck them up and spread them on top of the flower beds. The last of the leaves m husband mow mulches into the grass.

[@alanFconrad]

So Festive and Beautiful :)

[@CarmenTorres-gf3sg]

Happy Halloween

[@maureenlevy207]

Is Lantana not perennial there? It is in Austin and I just cut it back to the ground to plant fall annuals.

[@barbaracarroll3793]

Hi Linda, I love traveling through the seasons with you! Can you please explain the benefits of having a paid subscription to your channel? Thank you!

[@susanwelch2237]

Happy Halloween!

[@susanmason3432]

Nice combo video. Would you please give a short lesson on composting versus landfill? Based upon your comments, it sounds like debris is bad for our landfills. I live in N. FL with a small yard and have been putting yard debris in the trash. We have trouble with bad bugs if we have too much debris in and around plants. Thank you

[@judyjudkins9494]

Wow! I never remove my Lantana. It flourishes every year!

[@vickiehollandburch1285]

I don’t either, I just cut it back.

[@judyjudkins9494]

@@vickiehollandburch1285 yep, me too, Vickie🥰

[@laurelcomeaux4723]

Wouldn’t cutting the lantana back be a gardening risk worth taking? It really does well here in my 8a as a perennial.

[@brendacejda7069]

I'm wondering the same thing! It's so lovely, I would give it a try!

[@cgzone8]

My husband will be pleased to know he's OK to leave the leaves in the beds as mulch. I've searched to find how you eliminated the grass in front & backyard. Also, link to your gloves. Thx for sharing all you do. cgzone8

[@maryeliason1504]

Love the decorations but Halloween is not my fave holiday. Here is Norcal we've had good rais since last night & throughout today. Really helps with the fires Even a rainbow! Sorry kids about the rain on Halloween.

[@hollyhallmark4074]

The leopard gloves?

[@nitahiltner3348]

I live in a horse town where people have acreage to decorate with some big stuff. One house has a huge dinosaur, a T-rex, one has a Gumby and Pokey about 14 ft tall, huge rocking horse and many rearing stallions. But I can't stand the huge skeletons around this year.

[@beckyk2581]

[@romiehutson5230]

Omg!! Linda please please give me info on your gloves❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@robintranchina6588]

I say leave the Pentas. My Butterfly Candy isn’t looking too good, but it is time for them all to go to sleep. I want to get a few Candy Corn Spirea and maybe a few more Obsession Nandinas and Fire Power Nandinas for a little more fall color.

[@jetv1471]

We are over a month without rain here in 7a south Jersey.. I don’t want to plant my pansies until I know we are having rain 😢😢😢 none on the horizon and fires are sprouting.

[@jeriwebb700]

My review on the Warners bra you recommended. So far, not so good. It smells of rubber, and the smell has transfered to my top. How in the world do you get the smell out?? The comfort level is o.k.

[@LindaVater]

I’m so sorry. I have not noticed it at all!

[@rootelation486]

My mums get planted in the ground where they stay until they decide they've given me enough years. They require too much water for me to put them in containers

[@marialicemorgan19]

Hi Linda. Just wondering why your videos don’t show up in my home feed or next video feed. I’m subscribed and get notifications but unless I go into my subscriptions I can’t find your videos.

[@LindaVater]

I have no idea! You have notifications turned on?

[@marialicemorgan19]

@ yes I have them turned on and get them.

[@tracydenson3397]

We are finally getting rain today.

[@bettyinarlington3845]

34 days here without rain!

[@LULC0759]

No not the tacky skeleton 😳

[@beverlyhaley6258]

I respect the right for anyone to make a political choice. Having that happen a few days before an important election, hmm I’m not that naive. Stewart is a professional videographer, not a person with an iPhone. If it truly wasn’t wanted in this video it would have been edited out.

[@DianeML419]

Everything is looking great! Thanks for the Halloween decorations, love the beetlejuice house! I would leave the pentas for now and the pollinators can enjoy them. They are small and don’t look like they would be a big deal to pull out later. Hope you enjoyed your trick or treaters! 🎃

[@anaharp4505]

Please lovely people...Let's keep our politics out of this.

[@LindaVater]

I agree!

[@Meganrenee333]

I laugh at the fact that people still believe in politics. Corporations run our government, so please stop feeding into their divisive tactics.

[@bethreisman8869]

Your personal political opinion has no place here. You offend 50%+ of the population. Your judgement is not relevant.

[@Annie-qu9ik]

Hi from Annie you waste a lot of plants pulling them out even when-they are at their best blooming, if you gave some away they still might not take in other garden l settings etc so it would be such a waste too. If you have that over planted crowed look you feel you need to pull some plants out the idea is not to over crowd the plants in the first place, as you have a rough idea how big most will grow when first planted.

[@staciejackson7497]

I don’t think she is pulling them because it’s crowded, she is pulling them because it is close to the end of the season and they are annuals, and because she wants to plant bulbs for the upcoming seasons. But also, IMO, the beauty of having one’s own garden, is doing as one likes.

[@peggy-ann1961]

Um not sure if you actually listened to the video. These are annuals that will freeze out and die, not perennials that she’s pulling due to overcrowding. She’s preparing her yard for winter and getting it ready for spring blooming bulbs .

[@evandenberg196]

Sorry, I have not seen this video. I do not like Halloween. So…do what you want to do, I do mine… Looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas with Christ…

[@harbourheightsja2383]

Why are so called christ lovers so critical and judgemental of others.

[@anjieconaway2560]

😂😂😂

[@evandenberg196]

@ I feel sorry for you when you feel itt that way. I want not judge anybody, that was my point… I am sorry when I have wrote it wrong (in my bad english) and hurt you of some one else.

[@MrFratdaddy]

I'm contemplating and resisting taking out my front annual beds for the summer.... just like you are with the pentas and lantana. I'm a prominent corner lot like just like you and get some lovely compliments from passer-by-ers. We haven't had a frost or freeze yet here in Winston-Salem & Greensboro (zone 7b/8a). I planted angelonia and its still going strong....just not the color palette I want going into winter. I have 4 flats of white pansies on standby to replace them though and don't want those to suffer in the meantime....I might as well give them a couple more days to enjoy!
