It’s beautiful Elizabeth. When I watch people gardening in a climate that has severe winters, I say a little prayer that their hard work is rewarded. It seems sad to see you take down the topiaries as there is still so much life in them but I guess without a heated green house these plants won’t survive the harsh weather ahead. Bless you, Cameron ang your family for all the beauty you create and share.🦘🇦🇺

The topiaries were pretty much dead, but they lasted many months! I have looked into trying to preserve them, but I don’t have the equipment to do so. I assume gardening costs a bit more in climates like our because we have to buy a lot of plants over and over. However, I am going to experiment with over wintering a lot of ky plants this year in our root cellar! Wish me luck 🤞

So pretty, Elizabeth! I loved seeing last year's porch, but I think you outdid yourself this year! Of course, you e got that fantastic window box now and that adds so much to your home. I love that you were able to relocate your begonias and other plants in there to mix with the mums for some variety in color and texture. And I love the colors you chose to use this year. It's always wonderful to see you working together with your husband outside, too. Makes it so much more fun, doesn't it, when you share putting it together? I was excited to see what you would do and I was absolutely NOT disappointed!! I'm curious, though, where your zinnias are? Are they at the side of the house? So pretty. Oddly, as a child I thought they were sort of meh, then in my 20s I discovered I suddenly loved them! I started planting black eyed Susans, zinnias and asters for end of summer and autumn and never looked back. They're still favorites of mine.

Your beautiful home is always so lovely. I’m in California, so my mums come back every year. I do repot them and cut them back when spent. Usually get two blooming seasons when I start in spring. It would break my heart to watch them die every year. I’m assuming they do. And your ferns are gorgeous. Would a hot house prevent their demise? In any event, you really have green thumbs. 😊

Your front porch is beautiful. I thought I might do something like you did flanking my front door. I went to Home Depot to look for those evergreens. But they all grow to be 8 to 10 feet tall. Do you remember how tall your shrubs' grow when mature? Are you planning on planting them out in the yard after a while, or will they stay small enough to keep them in pots? Thank you.

Mum's and ferns come back each year, it's just a case of storing them out of season. You don't need to keep buying yearly. Mums also like to be dead headed so they can reflower.

@oldmaplehome

9 ай бұрын

Yes, I’m going to try and over winter a lot of plants this year 🤞

Be sure the mums get plenty of water and be sure they can drain. If the pots you use don’t have holes in the bottom, the flowers will get waterlogged and die. Drainage is key.

I never wash my outdoor pumpkins personally, but the bleach is so dangerous for wildlife. I don't know who started the bleaching practice but it needs to stop. If you're going to wash, vinegar is the better choice!

Thank you for listing where you get your background music. Could you tell me the title for the piano piece that starts at 4:54 so I can search for it? Don't forget to replant your mums somewhere in your garden before the frost and they will return next year -- when you will keep trimmed until the you are ready for fall bloom. Mine are years and years old. I divide for planters leaving some in the ground to keep growing.

I think I see the rocker confusion, they do appear to face the house, but if they were put with their backs to the wall they would impede the stair access. To Elizabeth’s point the stairs face the street, the railing faces the side yard. Therefore when they are in the rockers they can enjoy the front of the house. I hope I have that right. 🎃

Watching you and your husband empty out the car,,dud even as "how many pumpkins do we really need"

Not putting you down or trying to be a mean person..Its lovely to look at but a lot of wasted money 🫤 Id rather give to the needy. I use to do this decorating in the past but my mind stays on the Lord, so it just doesnt interest me anymore. More important things in the world ❤❤
