I have a ton of perennials that I want to relocate but the mosquitoes are so bad I get eaten alive. How late can perennials be moved without them dying?

Excellent video! I just got mine and appreciate the detailed explanation!!

Great video! I was wondering what all the springy things were in my beds, then one exploded on my hand! Collection began! Also collected wax begonia seeds and the plants are growing well. Now for my zinia’s and petunias :)

I like to prune/clean up most everything in the fall. I agree with doing it when it works for you. Everyone’s life is so different. Thanks for the encouragement with all that you do. 😊

Thank you for talking about this plant. I have seen it, but was unknowledgeable about it, and I live in the UK. Thanks for sharing.

I think September has become my favorite month for gardening. Weather is still nice, it’s cooler for working, it’s prime planting, transplanting, & dividing time, and PLANT SALES!

In one of your recent videos, you showed a Joe Pye Weed. It wasn't very tall. Is it a Little Joe or don't they grow tall in your area? Can they be propagated or divided? I would like to try some but they grow too tall here in central PA.

Im gonna pluck some marigold flowers and put them in a fall plus Halloween themed vase and i think marigolds go really well with fall and halloween decorations!!

Nice video. I need to get to work tidying up some of my beds.

Do the wood shavings in your compost break down readily? I tried some but found they tended to clump together 😕 When I’m turning my compost (I have a 3 bin system) I’ll sometimes take the weed whacker to it to help chop it up a bit finer. Really made a big difference with all the leaves last fall. When seen close up like that some of those seeds like bugs! 😳 Great overview of autumn garden chores, thanks for your time & diligence 👏👏👏

I am collecting what I believe to be tropical sage salvia seeds.

We have a dump pile way in the back of leaf mold and other garden debris but poison ivy, Virginia creeper and wild raspberries have taken it over. They’re a huge nuisance here in RI. Today we created two ways closer to the garden and I’ve just ordered a tarp on Amazon per your recommendation. Hoping next year at this time we have some black gold!

Impressive!

Hi Vita Always enjoy watching your videos, so much good information The weather has been so fickle for August so much cold weather has started putting the flowers to sleep. Hardly any rain after spring, we had a couple of rain showers that made the soil damp for about a day. Now fall is here. I had a heavy rain storm before the hurricane, and now in Ohio, I'm by Lake Erie getting the tail end of the storm. I am glad I pulled in my huge pot of the Amaryllis pot and two window planters in the garage. I'm going to let them go to sleep in the pots still spring next year. The deer this year have eaten my Hibiscus they usually don't touch them. I'm a little mad at myself for being seed collecting. my asthma has been horrible this year even wearing a mask outdoors. Finally, since the pollen is low I'm feeling better. I just have 4 plants to bring in, and I have to debug them, for me, I use peroxide 1 part peroxide 3 or 4 parts water. I soak the roots then spray the leaves real good two times rub the leaves and rinse them in the utility sink. two rounds of bug killer that goes through the plant then kills off the bugs two rounds of tea made of those mosquito bits. Then just plain water for the rest of winter. I did that last year and hardly had any fungus nats, or aphids. I only use new potting mix in the house. before I use the soil I make it damp then Microwave the soil 2m 30 seconds.

Do you ever propagate with cuttings?

Can you successfully sow with the seedpod and skip this step or is it necessary to remove seeds from seedpod?

My grandma has these all around in her house and they just look AMAZING!! I got some seeds from her and i just sowed them in the pots in my porch and they are blooming really well and they are about 3ft tall already!! I love them <33

Hi Vita, do you do another round of fertilizing late fall? I was reading the PlantTone instructions and it suggested it. Wasn’t sure if that would mean before or after first frost

Excellent share, new friend here

Great info

Excellent share

and encouragement to save money

I’m in CA 9B but all of your videos still applie to my area. thank you for all of your knowledge

Can you also dig up dahlia tubers right now, even if they’re still blooming?

Your videos are always so inspiring. Sometimes I wonder if I enjoy the process of saving seeds a little more than the actual act of growing the flowers. I love going out to check for new seed pods and bagging up flower heads to save more seeds than I could ever use 😂

I am really learning so much from your videos! Do you have a kind of garden "calendar" that you follow or a journal? I'm not a new gardener, but I am transitioning from a mostly vegetable gardener to more of a flower gardener. The winter sowing and fall clean up are new-ish ideas for me. Thanks!

Another great video.

Your tutorials are the best! Do you ever feel nervous about growing plants with 'weed' in their name? 'Sneeze weed' sounds particularly risky.

I didn’t know delphinium is very picky. A friend gave me seeds and I just put them in the milk jug with potting mix around January ( zone 6b NJ) and transplanted them in the ground in spring.

Thank you

Do you know if cosmos seeds bloom true to the parent? I have several varieties this year and wondered if xanthos seeds will bloom yellow, or perhaps mix with another

I love where my comos were this year so i have been sprinkling them all around there. I have gladiolus bulbs in that bed and together they look so nice.

An excellent video! Thank you sooo much ❤

If youre drunk, stay where you are or get a ride from somebody trusted/sober. If you dont feel safe where you are drinking and dont have a designated driver, then dont drink. Those are the rules I live by. I will never drive drunk...you have no idea whose life you can take and ruin.

Thank you for all the great gardening tips. How do you succeeded in overwintering your potted nursery seedlings?

Love this video, thank you so much Vita 🤗

I have these here in Perth Australia, had no idea vinca was a ground cover, mine don't flower very much, they are at the moment, its just turned spring also it doesn't like too much sun & needs lots of water in summer

I’m always amazed at the variety of seeds presentations. Another great video, thank you!

Thank you very much Vita. your videos are excellent. You are the best. very helpful.

Thank you for continuing to show how you "increase" your own plants. ❤ it ❤ it ❤❤

I went out to look at my lilies and, in the blooms, there was a cluster little green balls what are they and can you plant them? There almost ready to be dig up and dried, but it took me by surprise that they were there. Please let me know!

I bought Red White and Yellow begonias for myself, but my daughter saw them and took them home and they did beautifully. Now I'll see if I can keep them over the winter. They are in big pots, and I was thinking just to stop watering and let them in there, until spring and like you said surprise me!

Love the video. I just did a Walmart haul the other weekend in New Hampshire as well!

Great video. Thx!

😊

Great video, I just found your channel recently, and it's amazing. Thank you for all the great content. You're so informative and great at getting the info across in an easy to understand way.

Love NH! We are right in Massachusetts and just getting into some flowers :)

I am so happy I found your channel! I live in Maine and have a hard time finding videos for zone 5B! I have successfully overwintered my geraniums once and unsuccessfully once! I am going to try again this winter after watching your videos! My geraniums are huge. Should I divide them before overwintering them?

I have the same plant as you and I keep searching, but I don’t see any pods. It’s now September. I would think they would be present by now, any thoughts?
