What should I Do in My Fall Garden?

[@laviwv]

Last year (since I live in the country) I kicked my old pumpkins down the hill towards our creek thinking the deer and squirrels would eat them. This year I had all kinds of colors and shapes of pumpkins and gourds growing through the forest😳😂😁

[@gardenloveinthemountains]

I live in a mountain area…Love this idea, just kick the pumpkins down the mountain and see what grows next year 😂…Maybe the deer, squirrels and rats can snack away from my garden areas😊…

[@marycook8662]

[@foxkorio]

🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍A great idea to get a harvest without tiring your arms and back in the garden beds!

[@LFetterman7903]

That’s GREAT! ☺️

[@rosemaryd284]

I’m going to do it this year. See what happens 😉

Tomato plant tip: If you are nearing the end of tomato growing and you have a bunch of green or partly ripened tomatoes on your vines, you can pull them out by the roots, knock some dirt off the roots, and hand upside down in a cool, dry place (like a garage) and the fruit will continue to ripen on the vine. You can get several weeks of vine-ripened tomatos storing them this way.

[@penelopehammerton2907]

Great tip, l have not heard of this before. Thank you.

[@Nancy-fo7lc]

I used to do that! We had tomatoes for most of the winter.

[@jetv1471]

Wow❤ ty !

[@juneramirez8580]

Well Linda. I was one of those people who said she saw this before. But I never tried it and the idea of using DE in the dust buster was something no one else TOLD US ABOUT! Thank you for sharing what to do with those bugs once sucked up! Now once I purchase a dust buster for my garden I will be all set!!!! Love your channel and the extra ideas your subscribers add. Great community!

[@lindabergman932]

Light bulb 💡 moment. Discarding the pumpkins in pots …. Brilliant ! Thank you for sharing.

[@SusanschneiderVirginia]

Absolutely plant some greens. There are lots that can take frost. Little effort big reward!

[@KayeCarterTV]

I’m really love to see your suggestions and as well as hear your suggestion on different plantings. You really inspire me to have a better garden sending hugs, love, prayers and kindness with the daily dose of encouragement with a smile.♥️🙏🏼👍🏼🌹🇺🇸

[@robintranchina6588]

I say go for it! Plant your greens!

[@gardengirl7446]

LOVE the linda and Stewart banter ❤

[@City_farmers88]

The garden is so beautiful, the air is fresh and peaceful. Taking care of the garden yourself helps you relax and calm down. Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures with everyone.

[@susanwelch2237]

Always look forward to your suggestions on gardening! Hope you and Stewart go thrifting soon! Always love watching you! ❤

[@dixieanderson2276]

The bright periwinkles were beautiful. And I like red!

[@deborahmac1997]

I'm team , plant those salad greens!

[@VickyElyse]

Wonderful tips as usual, especially using pumpkins as filler for pots. And yes plant the greens.

[@marianhintz9981]

Yes I would plant the mums there. Great video this week!❤

[@nancydorn2524]

Stewart, it might be good to put a tag on the screen for people to subscribe. It is an absolute crime that Linda does not have higher numbers. You two do such an excellent job!

[@jenniferkessener1111]

Yes, plant some greens, it is worth trying.

[@maureentaylor4771]

Thanks for the tip on agapanthus. I think this fall, I will gather some of the bulbs and put them in a planter to overwinter then replant them in the pot next spring. Hopefully 🎉they will bloom again. (Z-9b, Houston)

[@ConnieFrench-s3i]

Hey there, I simply have run a drip line to my bird baths off my existing drip line. It is great I just blast them with hose to clean out fallen debris. Drip keeps water in bath all the time!

[@lindylou3519]

Thanks to you Linda I can’t be without Cool Jobs gloves. I also ordered the knife sharpener you recently recommended & I just finished putting together the gray outdoor deck box to stash away small every day items/tools. Much appreciated!❤🎃🍁

[@foxkorio]

And that small pepper bush grows beautifully as a potted plant in rooms. It seems that this is the one that is very spicy. And grannies I add it to the dressing for borscht and to preserve eggplants and other vegetables. 💙💛

Plant the greens 🌱🥰🥗

[@mkitchens8163]

One by one, I'm taking out my annuals that aren't looking their best. We had a couple of nights of frost last week (33 and 34 degrees) here in N MS, Zone 7B/8A, so the coleus were nipped. I pulled a few into my garage so I could let them go to seed and collect seed. No rain here since Helene, but just now saw that we may get a system by next weekend. So not a drop of rain in October this year. At least we're having cool nights but the days are back up in the 80s now. Pumpkins are still looking good. I didn't buy many this year. And it's the first time in 30 years I didn't buy a single garden mum--all of mine overwintered from last year.

[@laurelcomeaux4723]

Yes to the tired of watering! It has been an incredibly long season-some of my annuals have been in the ground since the end of March-time to go! We are still a little warm here in Louisiana, but nights are much cooler. So I did put out some greens, broccoli, and lettuces as well as pansies and snap dragons, and watering again. Have not had a rain here since the last of September.

[@janzatovich6677]

LOVE THE DUST BUSTER BUG SUCKER HACK ❤ SMARTEST IDEA 💡 EVER !!

[@sissmith2750]

You could plant Turnips are Mustard greens in your flower boxes to eat all winter. Your Periwinkle flowers were beautiful and here in NC they will come back up during the spring if you start working your flower beds and keeping it watered

[@gina5827]

Thank you for the great tips!! 😊

[@gingercobl5919]

Plant the greens!

[@jeanferrill6304]

Amazing the amount & variety of plant material that you have collected! Everything looks beautiful 😍 . I am in SoCal, agapanthus grows year round like a weed.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Thanks Linda

[@judykook8753]

Love your bug buster!

[@karenwestby-gibson758]

My husband added an irrigation drip to my bird bath. It’s never empty now.

[@colleensmith3374]

Great idea

[@gingercobl5919]

Nasturtium makes great pesto! Sub pecans for the pinenuts, the sweetness cuts the peppery Nasturtium.

[@susanwilkinson2723]

Fried green tomato for dinner!

[@GlendaClark-ns7cm]

Hi Linda. You have way to much going on. You are fabulous at all of it. So please try to narrow it down to what is most important to you. Don't worry about the lost tomato or a little herb plant. Keep working on what you enjoy most. You are fantastic at everything you do. Keep up the great work ❤

[@maryflores5085]

I would go for the lettuce it grows fast. You’ll probably have some for Thanksgiving.

[@Nutrient-u5e]

So beautiful linda❤

[@abcnoyb]

I usually harvest an abundance of basil, so I make pesto with most of it, freeze it in ice cube trays and then put the cubes in freezer bags.

[@Vicfric]

Let the perennial herbs grow 😊

[@shawnavordokas4539]

Great idea about Diatomaceous earth but if your dirt buster is not made for fine silt it could destroy your vacuum’s motor.

[@angiejones7401]

That olive green iS your color! I noticed it right away!

[@tamerabates928]

We are too hot too! Phx wondering if it will ever cool down here! I emptied out my garden box last week too.. I over watered so much this summer my black liner collapsed the bottom out in the middle 😣 so after I put some new supports in and a new liner, fresh dirt I’ll be in business again. I’m thinking I will paint it to match the garden like you did. 😁

[@foxkorio]

By the way, pumpkin seeds are very tasty and healthy! Dry and fry them and can be peeled like regular sunflowers. Pumpkin ones are much more expensive here.

[@juneramirez8580]

You are pulling all your peppers and here in the low AZ desert my peppers are only just starting to grow!!! Lol

[@mazsteele-hall8924]

The birdbath not only needs to have plenty of water , it mustn't be too deep, and be kept very clean to stop any diseases in the water , birds are very susceptible to germs.

[@Ashley-ti6mp]

Yay

[@susanmason3432]

Yes on planting musciline mix. May I suggest you plant the orange marigolds even if they last a bit past Halloween?

[@peggy1844]

I would go ahead and plant the lettuce. If it gets too cold you can make a mini green house by putting a clear plastic storage tote upside down over the lettuce.

[@carolhilboldt5318]

Plant kale not lettuce. You can pick it all winter if you put a glass cloche over it when it gets cold.

[@rosemaryd284]

Linda could you share update facial procedures or what you’ve used. Thanks.

Mums are beautiful in the fall. However, I’ve read they do nothing for pollinators. Maybe you should talk about that and encourage people to plant Asters.?

What is your secret for nandina. Mine never does well. I have several varieties and I noticed lately the lemon lime has splotches on it. Maybe a fungus? 8 a metro Atlanta. Any suggestions. Yours looks great

[@suzetteccc]

Don't plant anything...take a break! And yes, I have cut the wrong branch so many times, followed by a few choice works. I don't do it as much now but it still happens.🤷🏻‍♀

I hope your cortisone shot helps. I've had 2 so far in my elbow.

Please, please, please, connect me to the original episode about the Dustbuster. I absolutely love this idea, but I want more information on how to use it and what kind of it will help control.

[@janrivers2924]

Here's a question... how do you keep people away when you are filming in the front garden? Does Stuart click the mute button and shot SCRAM?? Just wondering.

[@kimt3120]

For the agapanthus tulip swap, you could plant the tulip bulbs in a similar pot and sink them in the empty holes. that would eliminate re-digging the holes.

[@gardenloveinthemountains]

I love that idea! Thank you

Not an answer to your question…..BUT…How about you move your birdbath?!

Because it’s near the holly hedge where the birds like to hide, and we can see it from our parlor windows :-)

[@DH-qz2so]

No more planting, button up the garden, go inside...and make a Tom and Jerry cocktail! You deserve to rest now!

[@Annie-qu9ik]

A lot of plants seem to to be wasted, that would not suit my budget, I would transplant them to another spot not throw them out!2 Can't bear to see plants wasted. They need to be respected .
