October Garden Tour.

TODAY'S VIDEO:
Join us today for another un-edited garden tour at, yup, my house. This will be the last one of the season before the frost starts to kill some of the tender annuals and perennials off. Once that happens and we start to cut things back, the garden look will change and it will never look this full and lush again this year.

Can you talk more about the hydrogen peroxide/water treatment you use on your plants that you will be bringing in to your home soon. Love your garden and your show. I’m in zone 5; in the northwest corner of Iowa. Maybe I’ll take a road trip next spring to visit your garden center.

That was great! Loved it❤. Such a huge garden to take care of with everything else you have to do! It easy to see how much you love it, you’re so enthusiastic…
What I really appreciate is hearing your “out loud”planning and your personal reactions to plants. Love that you explain why you’re making the changes you make.

As always, it was a pleasure to stroll through your beautiful garden with you. 😊

Excited to see your shed project as you begin to work on it. Fun. Fun.

Absolutely beautiful, still at this time of year. I'm feeling the same sad to see the pretty colors & new plants I put in thriving, and soon frost will take away their prettiness. I enjoy your videos! You are so energetic & happy to listen to! Have a great day Michelle!!

Hi, Michelle! You absolutely got a lot of gardening done this year!🎉 You're amazing!

[annakozlowski]

Learning so much about zone 5 after all my years living in it where have you been so glad I found you❤ beautiful garden🍁🍂🍃

[pamakers]

I can't wait until you get started on the She shed

[kristapeters]

You’ve done a lot this season, it’s looking amazing! I’m really looking forward to the newest garden with the newly planted trees. Would love to see how you work through ideas in a new space, and which inspirational ideas you use from your garden tours. Oh, and super excited about your Christmas displays at the garden centre!!

Thank you for taking the time to film your October garden, Michelle! One of my favorites in your garden is the Callicarpa at 11:00. LOVE those purple berries! I looked up the hardiness zone for Callicarpa and found it's recommended for zones 6-11. Aren't you a zone 5? I know that gardeners can bump up one zone like from 5 to 6 if the perennial or shrub is planted in a protected area and mulched to help avoid winter kill.

Hi Michelle 👋 Everything still looks fabulous! 😍 Love your new bed/plantings. And WOW 😮 The cottage garden really did great! And the bed with the new pathway also looks great! I do love that Begonia 😍 I have got to get me the Mini Me Watermelon, love love it! 😍 I am excited to see your She Shed... can't wait 😊 You have done so much gardening this year and I have enjoyed following you. I love Dr. Seuss too. Thank you for sharing. You have so much work to do before the cold hits. You take care. 😊

Michele, you have a fantastic garden!

I learn so much from your channel! When it's time to move house plants in-doors, I worry about pests, temperature change and pruning. How do you prepare your house plants for taking them back inside?
