cut worms - AAARRGG, my nemesis! I have used Diatomaceous Earth with very good results. You need to reapply if it rains but persistent use will kill those critter for good!
Good morning! This is a good video for fall cleanup. I just about have mine finished. Today I hope to plant a few shrubs and many daffodils. I live in NE Indiana and I've been having to work around the much needed rain. I appreciate seeing your gardens somewhat empty as it gives me insight on what I might want to do for my garden next year. I have never used the netting and I want to next year. I know that with some of the flowers I plan to grow I will greatly benefit from using it. I have enjoyed seeing your gardens this past year and I'm looking forward to what you have for next year...mine too! 😊
We wouldn’t be without the netting! It’s such a help for keeping plants upright in the wind. It’s a good feeling to have the garden cleaned up, isn’t it?
Loved this! I had never heard about leaving the root balls of things in the ground! Makes sense though I’ll have to try that. It was also helpful for me to hear how you compost in the Fall. I came up with a plan this week for my garden next year & im excited about it! I’m gonna try a different layout. Rosita & Morgan & us had the fence discussion Sun night. We thought our husbands may jump on that idea to contain things! 😅 I need to work on my perennial bed today & maybe dig dahlias. Looks like some Winter may be arriving next week! You know I’m stoaked for that😊
Yes, the fences might be just as helpful for containing things as they are for keeping other things out. 😉 I want to hear more about your garden plans for next year!
Great video! Here in East Texas, zone 8, I still have zinnias that I'm letting go to seed in the garden and I've also left them for the butterflies, which have been so numerous. My question is how do I let the beds rest when it's time to replant them for spring? I'm with LaRhonda on not planting flowers for fall, when it's consistently hot and dry, and instead growing veggies, which thrive. It just doesn't seem like there's a down time for cover crops or to just let the beds rest. As far as cutworms go, I learned a hard lesson. I thought a layer of leaves covering my spring seedlings would keep them nice and cozy all winter. When it was time to remove the leaves, not only was it painstakingly difficult to keep from uprooting the plants but I also discovered that I'd provided a nice habitat for cutworms. So, that experiment landed in the "What Didn't Work" category.
Nice, ladies. I’m enjoying your videos. You’ve been a big help. So many people are really planting flower farms. I’ve expanded my garden to include more room for more flowers. I’ve put plastic over another 20’x30” area that I’ll fence in come spring. My other fenced area is 40’x60’. This area includes dwarf fruit trees and a few berry bushes. I’m planning @handmadebycricketcottage roadside stand for spring. I’m trying cool spring bulbs and flowers for Mother’s Day bouquets. How many bouquets do you think you cut from your gardens each year?
It’s amazing to see all the new flower farms popping up! I didn’t keep count of the bouquets from my garden this year, but I planned to comfortably be able to harvest 20/ week. Most of the year that would have been possible. There were a few lean weeks.
@ Good to know. Even here in NY (lower near PA border) it’s been getting very hot and humid. Definitely slows the plants - and me!, down. I was thinking if I could get six bouquets a week I’d be happy. I don’t know if I can sell even six. Time will tell. I do have a cafe that is going to do a display for me. I’ll start with six at $15-$20. Others in my area are selling for $20-$25 - but they have an audience. I do live on a busy country road a mile out of the village. And I’ll have other goodies for attention. I’m planning my booth on a 2’x4’ industrial cart with an antique flower wagon and a ladder etc. for displays. There are a lot of flower farms popping up. I’m following several in my area. I, recently, watched a lovely lady on TH-cam that was starting a “hobby” flower farm. She’s planting over an acre! I thought I would be called “hobby.” Ha! I’m micro micro mini at close to 1/4 acre with paths. But I think it’ll produce enough to keep me - and my growing older body, happy. Love watching you! Til next time - 💕
Really enjoyed watching this. I was going to take the day off from clearing leaves but you've inspired me to get back out there. I'm impressed by your working in sandals and barefoot. Not safe to do here because of the tick population. High boots and treated clothing is the rule. By the way, if you need more rabbits I can send some your way.
I enjoy watching you ladies! You have inspired me with finishing up with my second year of gardening. (I’m from Ohio) I even copied an arch like one of yours with wood twigs and young trees. I have to ask…. Would you happen to be related to Lynette Yoder who is a TH-camr as well? I know she is from Ohio. You guys resemble one another.
I used quake and aspen trees to make my fence. We have so many of them
. I have no idea how long they will last ,but it's saving me money for now.

That’s good to know!
Thanks again ladies for your awesome advice and appealing pictures and videos.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's always good to hear from you ladies. Your gardens looked very lush, and holy cilantro!
Cilantro grows so well in the fall and early winter! It’s surprisingly cold tolerant (to a point).
@@rootdesigncompany Yes. I've yet to be successful with it. There's always next year!

I need to do the same!!!
