I accidentally got me a montauk daisy it was in a pot with another plant I bought 3or 4 years ago, lt was about two inches high. I planted in in the shade it lived but didn’t grow very well. I moved it in the sunshine this year,Now its about two foot tall and full of buds. I live in Kentucky and have never seen them here before.I’m so excited.
Hello Brenda. At the rate of cuttings we will be doing next spring, we could end up with thousands of Montauk Daisies growing throughout our gardens. As you have seen, they will eventually need cage support as they continue to grow or are easily replaced.

Hi Cathy. I couldn't remember the name and you're correct, they are Peacock gladiolus. Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. Happy Fall - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com

Hello Lynn and Richard, beautiful Dalias and Aster. Looks beautiful garden. Still catching up with our grass and garden. Since of a hot summer and water ban, might have lost few of my plants. Has to wait and see till next spring. My Phlox and other plants have died. Can never miss a summer again. Enjoy the fall. Thank you both for teaching us the basics of gardening.
Good morning Nathan. Your plants missed your loving attention while you were gone so long. Even here in Wisconsin, we heard them talking saying that they all hope you'll be around next summer to take care of them. Until then Happy Fall and don't forget to talk to all your plants. Glad you back home safe and sound. Thank you again for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
@@WisconsinGarden Yes I was in CNN. Even our garbage truck driver and asked me about our garden. Slowly grass is back. Need to wait and see next spring how many come back. Missed my garden very much. No more summer trips. Thank you. Take care.
Hi from Oregon. Yesterday a video popped up from April 8 years ago ~ I think. What fun it was to watch it and several others in that time frame. Your plants and garden are beautiful today. The comparison was amazing. 😊❤️🌺🦋. I hope you have a good fall. Karan 🌲
Thanks Karen for your kind comments. Enjoy fall's changing color palette. Thanks again for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Lynn, Those are Star Gladiolus or Peacock Orchid. They bloom for is here in TX in the fall and come back every year. You might need to research whether you have to pull them. The leaves will die back and they are late to re-appear but well worth waiting for. Lovely tour. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Maureen. Yes, most of ours are tender bulbs that need to be dug up after the first hard frost and saved indoors over winter in our basement. Always a treat to see them rebloom the following years. Thank you again for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Thanks for the update Barbara. We will keep an eye on it's development to see how many seeds we can harvest and save for next year. Thank you again for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
My wigalia bloomed again also and never seen that before. Alberta spruce can be fussy. Winter winds are not their friend. Our Japanese beetle trap crop turned out to be the nettles in back of property. We let them grow and learned some make fertilizer from nettles. I noticed one day they were covered in JBs. The field behind us were soybeans this year. Many had problems with cucumbers and tomatoes this year. I’m trying grape tomatoes next year because the sweet 100s split too much and huge mess. Oh the cannas, dad and I planted the red every year as we had several huge tubes every year we stored in basement. We have many tree frog tadpoles in our rain barrels this year. They got so loud one night I actually had to go inside😅 Nice tour, thank you.
Thanks Dusty for all the updates in and around your garden. Hopefully, we will still have several weeks of warmer weather and full sun to help ripen our large tomatoes. This summer was just too hot and dry. Even watering didn't seem to help nor did the occasional rains. Either too much or too little. Just another challenging year for farmers and gardeners alike. Happy Fall. Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
@@WisconsinGarden we used shade fabric during the hot spells for tomatoes and peppers. We have to because our sand needs constant water otherwise. Had a great paste tomato harvest. Tried Burpee’s Steak Sandwich and they were huge and meaty. I’m trying several new varieties next year, but I think I will go back to oxheart and brandy wines. People rave about black Krimso I will try it, but they also raved about San Marzanos as well and won’t bother with them again as too small. Opalka and Super Sauce were very large and will stay with Opalka. We are just North of you two about 80 miles. Your area generally seems to get more storm activity and it seems to split when it heads our way. Well our weather is getting hotter and I think shade fabric will be a much needed garden tool in the future, it helped a lot. Happy Fall you Two!
Yes to San Marzano & Brandy wines. Always enjoy trying new varieties as well. While reluctant for many years, we're going to be using weed fabric in our raised beds for similar reasons. Happy Fall as well. TKS L&R
Fried green tomatoes are so delicious, please give them a try! I think I had more green tomatoes this year than ripe, not a good year for tomatoes for me, but I've been making use of the green ones! Thanks for the walkabout, I enjoyed all the flowers!
Hello Meredith. Morning temps in the 40's and some areas dropped to 39. Ouch! Hope we have a few more weeks of fairly warm and sunny weather or we may be eating green tomatoes. Thank you again for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Hello, I was watching your 2012 video on the outdoor avocado tree. I was wondering if you still had the tree, how it's doing, how you've been maintaining it indoors over winter, if you take the tree outdoors for spring thru fall, how big the tree is if still alive, if you ever got your tree to grow fruit, ECT .... Tips and tricks. Wouldn't it be wonderful if avacado trees were tolerant to winter so we could just plant them outdoors and enjoy them in simplicity.
Now you're starting to really go back into our video archives. Our Avocado tree we named 'Dave' started out very healthy and lasted indoors for about 3 years. Since our zone 5-B it cannot support overwintering outside, so we grew it mostly for its greenery indoors. It would be delightful if they could be grown in cold climates. Richard's sister's husband Dave had a grove on his California property. They would send us avocados from which we grew the seeds. They moved to the ocean several years later so no more goodies in the mail. I still grow store-bought one and have several awaiting to be transplanted as I replace old ones from time to time. Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. Happy Fall - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Good morning Suzanne. We buy hummingbird feeder with yellow bee guards that while not 100% effective deter more bees than the ones we had without the guard.

Hi Diane. All of our dahlias large and small are tender bulbs that we will dig up and store over winter in our basement. We refer to them as miniature Dahlias. We will select a few of the miniatures that I really like to see if they will continue getting larger in the coming years. Perhaps this is how they start them and harvest the larger tuber for sale. We will see and report next year. Thank you again for watching, caring and sharing. "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Hello Mary. We've created several fall tender bulb videos over the years you may want to watch. If you have our A-Z video directory we've listed them by topic. If you don't have your free copy, simply visit our www.WisconsinGarden.com website and request yours. Basically, after the first hard frost, we dig up all of our tender bulbs, tubers and rhizomes, wash them free of soil, allow them to dry outside for several days and then store them in open cardboard boxes or plastic trays in our basement. At least once a month I inspect them and gently spray them with my water sprayer to keep them from totally drying up and dying. I also try to give each their own space so as not to over-crowd or pile them on top of each other. If I see a potential problem. I remove it so it doesn't affect the others. As long as they are stored in a cool and dark area, they won't think it's time to start growing. Not all make it for various reasons, but most do very well. Hope this was helpful. As always, thank you for taking the time to watch, care and share. Happy Fall - "Keep The Love Growing." - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
