Beautiful. I want to pet Magnus so bad!!

[@cindybohl9593]

Love all the golden yellow in your garden! Magnus is really growing! He is so adorable!

[@TheAdaFly]

I will really miss these garden strolls in the winter 😢❤

[@lizmorris206]

Nice video. Watching your thought process is great and helpful. What i learn, Don't stress, expirement, repeat. Dealing with the drought this year is tough. I expect next spring to be very different.

[@samcarpenter4347]

I bought a Gorilla Cart 5 years ago after gardening for over 20 years. BEST thing I ever did! Still have to load the cart but it dumps so most of the time I save having to unload by hand. I fill it to the max & haul it around my 2 acres with my riding mower. Maybe you could use one!

[@terrivance8750]

I ADORE my Gorilla cart. Like you, one of the best purchases I've ever made--that & my Felcos for small hands. 😊

[@tpdoolin8445]

Your autumnal garden still has so much visual interest! We've had such a mild fall in the Midwest and enjoying it while it lasts. In case you might be interested Erin, there's a channel called Chateau de Dampierre (The Garden is Complete) that recently highlighted a couple of the completed garden areas as well as the transition to the woodland. The new owner is renovating the entire estate starting at the gatekeepers cottage with its garden. It'll be interesting to see how everything evolves over the next few years and what styles are chosen for gardens around the chateau itself. Made me wonder how you might design them.

[@evalindell2757]

I have ordered over 1200 bulbs and have 300 left so when you said a ”lot, well 25” I almost spilled all my tea all over 😂 Loove the fall colours in your garden! Lots of love from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@evalindell2757 Yeah I have no idea why I was thinking 25 was a lot although they do all have to be planted individually rather than than throw a bunch in a hole. I think after planting more than 3,000 a few weeks ago for the bulb lawn extension I was mentally finished so even a few more now seems like “a lot”.

[@evalindell2757]

@ Well you have planted a lot already! 3000 and here I thought 1000 was alot 😂

[@bettyboop1524]

I love your puppy 🥰 It's nice to be able to see the various water art pieces and the other artwork that is usually hidden away by flowers. So very pretty.

[@jennypatterson6660]

Dug my dahlias today too, they are rinsed and drying now. I have the garlic soaking in the fertilizer mix, the bed is ready and I will plant them later today. I also straightened up a bit in the green house. My snapdragons are blooming great guns! I have one beautiful clematis bloom on my Dawn clematis. I still need to get the bulbs planted. And would like to do that before it gets tooo cold, which looks like it will happen later this week.

[@wendyrossman3756]

We got 1/2 an inch of rain yesterday. Just what things need to go to sleep for the winter. Spent my day outside covering my vegi garden beds with rabbit fertilizer and the cardboard. Life on the prairie you need to cover your raised beds or Nebraska gets all my soil. Love your videos and real life format. Thank you for helping me to become a better gardner.

[@scallywags12]

Good to see your fall color. Really different from our location for the winter in south Baja, Mexico. Desert gardening has lots of challenges.

[@upnorth21]

Beautiful fall color in your garden! It is wonderful to have a little more time for fall cleanup. I have not felt rushed. My husband wonders why I dig up and MOVE so many plants. Always trying to find the sweet spot!

[@terrypauloregon]

Erin thanks I haven’t asked the question. I just got the answer. I put my dahlias in pots this year. So I need to take them out. But I don’t want to separate. I’ll just cut off anything bad. And store.

[@Braedensground]

Great video, Erin. Just a tip about fall delivered compost. You may cover the new pile with a tarp to prevent weed seeds, tree seeds etc from catching hold. You dont want to introduce new weeds to your garden beds. I only add compost around established plants and new plantings. Good luck 👍

[@lisag6796]

Erin, it's Daylight Savings Time. You're correct in speaking in the video.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@lisag6796 No. it’s not. It’s Daylight Saving Time.

[@lisag6796]

@TheImpatientGardener when I googled it, it reported 'savings' time. Maybe Google is incorrect! 😂

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@lisag6796 The magazine editor in me is saying yes, Google is wrong. 🤣

[@debbierodriguez7368]

I really enjoy your videos I love your garden I love all the different colors that you have in your plant designs that just pop.. keep up the great work. I love your little puppy so freaking cute❤.

[@MrsFusion]

Beautiful fall colors!!! Excited to see if the willows winter over! If they do...they are going to be on my list!

[@jillsimpson8716]

I popped a few tulips on the edge of my new “shade garden” . It seems like it should get enough sun with the bare trees. We shall see! Thanks for the stroll! It never gets boring. I constantly get ideas and inspiration!

[@Mo-mr8vv]

"Giving up the ghost." ❤ I love the Holy Bible.

[@gailforbes7834]

Enjoyed this! Here in Delaware we are finally getting rain’👏🏼 the lack of rain lol or drought has impacted our fall in interesting ways! Some trees have great color others awful, some just brown and drop. They are dropping faster compared to last year which was warmer and a lot more rain! Love observing these difference!

[@Russ4704]

Thanks!

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Thank you so much! 💕

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I just finished spreading compost in my garden. I didn’t have a lot ready to spread but it’s better than nothing!

[@debschnarr5091]

Love the ginkgo trees !

[@ingehoughton6914]

Magnus is getting so big!! Love all of the fall colors in your garden. Do you do any type of fertilization in your wooded areas; compost, organic slow release, or just let the leaf litter take care of things? Thx!

[@shanamatteucci3980]

Mangus can be seen GROWING!

[@Erin-tk5jw]

Im a little north of Milwaukee, and the little alliums I planted a month or so ago are coming up. Some of the leaves are probably 8 inches tall at this point. It’s wild!

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@Erin-tk5jw what a crazy year this has been weather wise.

[@WindsweptHillsNorthernMichigan]

Thank you for all you do. I really appreciate your sense of humor. My husband wants your dog sink. We have two Bouvier Des Flanders. That bath would be a game changer. Where did you find it?

[@R.Bronston]

I was also hoping to top dress with compost. Any suggestions on if I should blow the leaves out first, then top dress, then put the leaves back? I wish I could just add the compost to the garden on top of the oak leaves but that doesn’t seem right. Any advice?

[@TheImpatientGardener]

I’m of two minds here: Since you’re dealing with oak leaves (notoriously slow to break down), my thought is that it’s probably better to blow them out first. But the practical (and possibly lazy side me thinks that maybe it doesn’t matter. The compost should help those leaves break done faster. If it were me I’d probably split it down the middle and blow out areas with a lot of leaves and go over the top of the rest.

[@R.Bronston]

@ Thanks for your advice. I think I will blow out the leaves where there are lots, then top dress. I might not be so picky in the other areas. Love your videos and your garden. You bring me so much joy.

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

I am researching planting either a hornbeam or a ginkgo in a spot where a small tree will fit. There is partial shade so it would be best for an understory tree. Curious about your thoughts on benefits/drawbacks of each as I know you have both in your garden. I'm in MN zone 5a with similar growing conditions minus the lake effect. 😊

[@cindyscharr457]

Oh Erin I am thrilled to see a new Newfie puppy! A house is not a home without a Newfie! What is his name? Do you still have Dorthey? I'm behind on watching your videos as I'm working on fall cleanup too and planting bulbs. Thanks for sharing and giving us a relaxing experience. I would love to see you do a few special videos about life with a Newfoundland and the importance of understanding the breed. They are a joy to have but are not for everyone.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@cindyscharr457 Dorothy is here and enjoying her new little brother (most of the time). I’ll have to get back to you on the name. We might be changing it 🤣

[@cindyscharr457]

@@TheImpatientGardener You bring back memories of when I had two. Ellie was our first and when we brought home her little brother we were afraid she would be jealous. The first night at the supper table we gave her a special treat and she dropped it right in front of him. There is love.

[@megf2812]

My japanese maple hasn't lost its leaves like normal either. We are in a drought too, so I assume it's that.

[@kenstevens]

Trying to decide on a shade grass. Your thoughts on Hakonechloa vs carex?

[@pattystrecker1867]

Our area (SW Ohio) has been so dry that the drought has caused our lilacs to bloom again. 😮

[@renejohnson37]

Mine too! Maryland.

[@kimby81]

Mine also, Wisconsin 😊

[@ingehoughton6914]

Oh, one more thing...I have a Bird of Paradise (Traveling Palm?) plant that is far too big for my house to overwinter. I'm thinking of applying your Banana Tree method to it and see what happens. Thoughts?

[@dienekeoonk7018]

Still great fall colours, loved the stroll. What is the benefit of growing dahlia's from clumps vs growing them from single tubers?

[@annetennison]

Erin thanks for your tours! Love Magnus! Funny puppy! Do you collect many seeds from your plants? Im zone 6B KC Missouri and we have been getting rain finally!

[@KathyMallory-ig2ev]

I love the fall colors. What is the dark peach/orange plant next to the honeysuckle?

[@Mo-mr8vv]

I think they look like Canna, but I'm no expert.

[@Erin-tk5jw]

Would love to hear what your potential new compost source is!

[@TheImpatientGardener]

It’s a place called Busy Bee Compost in Plymouth. Nice small batches, heated HIGH and aware of (and taking steps to avoid) the jumping worm issue.

[@Erin-tk5jw]

@ thanks!

[@stevenjwiles]

7:34 what is that purple, large leaf plant?

[@jaynemar1]

Where did you get your cool dog tub?

[@carolfield8803]

Due to our miserable drought I've no idea when I'll be able to dig to get my bulbs in. Rather scary after almost 3 months without rain.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@carolfield8803 Very scary. Hope some rain comes your way soon.

[@terrivance8750]

Erin, Is it just me, or do all gardeners hate it when Daylight Savings Time ends? 🤔

[@LoisMaudson]

Enjoyed the video ( u k )

[@lauriedashner2225]

Out of curiosity, will you stop doing garden stroll videos once winter is here? If so, look forward to seeing you in the spring… 😎

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@lauriedashner2225 I’ll do something else instead on Sundays and throw the occasional garden stroll in. And don’t forget I do a lot more videos than just garden strolls every week.

[@lauriedashner2225]

@ do you do them all here on KZbin? This is the only place where I catch these… ❤️😎

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@ Everything is on KZbin but KZbin can be bad about showing it to you. If you click on the channel name you’ll see them all. I think I did about 14 videos in October.

[@agnescarbone8257]

Where is your other day ? I hope all is ok

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@agnescarbone8257 Dorothy is great but she’s never been into hanging out in the garden.

[@agnescarbone8257]

@TheImpatientGardener thank you for replying and so happy she is doing well
