This is random but my eight year old loves watching garden answer and he was watching this with me and he saw your photo of your cat and said “it’s a Salem, he’s cute”. We have a cat named Salem that looks like your cat. But yeah, my eight year old likes your cat.
Faylyn Hillier Hahaha! So cute! Yes, this is Neo. He was a drop off. We live in the country. He just showed up at our back door in June and wanted to be adopted. He’s so affectionate and follows me around the house like a dog. Absolute best cat ever! 😻
I have completely changed the way I fertilize since I started watching your videos! I, too, live in a zone 5 but in Iowa. I have switched to using all Espoma products & have been rewarded!! Thank you for the very useful information on fertilizing! I often refer back to these kind of videos!!!!😃🏅🌺🍂🍁🌳🌲🌾🌷🌻🌹🌿💚
Patricia Dorman oh my, ain’t that the truth.. one thing I’ve learned is that “fullsun” doesn’t mean the same thing in Texas. Give your plants a little shade somewhere in the day!
Thanks for this! I have been wondering what I do in the fall for my plants and trees. I learned something again from you! You and Aaron are a true garden blessing!!
I love your videos. This is just another great example of why I watch you. This video will be saved and watched again!!! Thank you from another zone 5 gardener.
Thank you for the information. I had no idea about winterizing. Thank you. I have my list & hubby's going to groan when I tell him we need to go to Lowe's & why.HA HA HA! Love it, hee! Hee! I do love that man & it tickles me pink when I can get a groan out him. Which he does just for affect, he really likes to be out side instead of cooped up in the house. I personally think he does it to hear me laugh at him. I catch the tail end of a grin every once in a while. But anyway, thanks for the info & bringing it front & center.
Very important video. Thank you. Hope to see a video about what to do with your hydrangeas after bloom and review when to fertilize. Hydrangeas are always a difficult topic. Not all are treated the same way. Always thank you for your dedication and beautiful work.🌸🌺🌸
If you don’t have a big garden, can you use bio tone for all of your fertilizing? Containers, a few bulbs and a couple of small beds. Or is it important to have all the different kinds? Love your channel so much, brand new wanna be gardener and your tips are amazing!
Bio-tone is a starter fertilizer, so that's not really an all-purpose type of fertilizer. I think she addressed this issue in a Q&A video but it's been a while. You don't *need* all the different kinds if you only have a small garden. Your best bet would actually be Plant-tone. It's got a 5-3-3 NPK which is good for just about everything.
I agree with polkadottedpolak! If you want to keep it simple, I would just have bio-tone and plant-tone on hand. Bio-tone for all your new plantings and Plant-tone for everything else! 👍
Do you do anything to your vegetable garden to replenish the soil? Do you add compost, fertilizer, manure or shredded leaves? Thanks for all the wonderful information you provide.
Coffee with Laura and some good facts about basic care of plants which is always good to hear. Thank you for the information as it will help with my work garden!!
Loved this! Have you ever watched “Gardeners World”? It’s a British show Monty Don host’s it in his own garden, your channel and that are my favorite for inspiration! Keep up the good work!
I love Gardener's World! I'm so impressed that they have a weekly gardening show on tv in the UK. I wish we had something like that. But thank goodness for UA-cam!
Thank you so much for this video. Since watching your channel, I have started using espoma products and I have seen an amazing difference in all of my gardens. Please know how much of an inspiration you are to so many of us out here. 🌿🌱🌾🍂🍁
Hi Laura, I’m so inspired by your videos. Yesterday’s video on the recap of last week was awesome! How about a video on how you stay organized on what you do when? 🌹🌼🌺
This video timing is perfect as I was just wondering if I can still fertilize this Fall! How do you fertilize after you remove annuals -- do you do something to prep the soil for next year?
THANKS! I FINALLY found out why my Clematis leaves have always taken up a brownish purple color-phosphorus deficiency. All of the plants have been really sick. I just applied bone meal, and sadly could not find any that did not contain nitrogen. Fortunately, it is still pretty warm in the day and a light frost (if that) at night, and my plants are so sick, I had doubts they could winter over. A light flush of growth might do some good? I left my roses to form hips already-they have purplish too-hope they will be okay! I fed everybody twice this year, but obviously Miracle grow and rose food in spring was not enough phosphorus in drought, and I was only feeding my roses every other spring-oops! I will definitely up my feeding of everything to twice a year, and be sure to do my roses again after first prune-I had NO idea they were as "hungry" as clematis!
Laura, two of my dogs are rescue Beagles - they smell EVERYTHING - and that means even if I dig in 12+ inches to fertilize, and do so when they are not looking (literally), they will find and dig it up within a few days. Though I use all organic products and often times, natural sea elements, it worries me, and it's a waste. As a result, I don't feed my garden nearly as often as I should. Can I be as effective with just a foliar application? And if so, what is best for my roses and other flowering plants and shrubs? Just recently started using one of your recommendations, PW Premium Water Soluble, but I'd love to know more. Thank you!
Laura, absolutely LOVE your channel! You inspire me all the time. What kind of hosta is the one behind you on your right side? The leaves are so pretty and ruffle-y.
For me, I throw down fertilizer whenever I get the itch. If I blow all the fronds off my foxtail palms, then I know I went too hard. Good news for me is my lawn doesn't go winter dormant here in SW FL so I get to mow and fert year round in my St Augusine and Zoysia.
@Fairhope Sewing School Fairhope, AL Floridian here. I wouldn't fertilize before a heavy rain because the nutrients could wash away or get pushed into groundwater. A light rain could do what you want it to do, pushing the newly applied fertilizer into the soil. If you're timing it based on rain, err on the side of caution. Perhaps do a half-strength application if you're unsure of what the weather will do.
@Fairhope Sewing School Fairhope, AL I fertilize St Aug during peak growing periods which are when soil temps are over 70F and above. For me here in SWFL that is roughly March - October. I spoon feed it during the winter as I am below the frost line. I am also blacked out here in the gulf coast during the rainy season so that is a whole nuther topic.
@@Dahliaismypassion I practice integrated pest management which basically states to just spot spray directly on the ground ivy and apply herbicides no where else.

Not something I'd call "organic" but may seem less invasive to some since they wash their clothes in it.
@@Jack-oc2xq What time of year is best to move peonies if you have to? Spring I'm guessing? I'm zone 4 and probably redoing a flower bed next spring... moving plants, adding new ones, removing wood box and replacing/reshaping with stacked decorative cement blocks.
Sweet Stuff spring or autumn, I’ve had success at both times but it is important you keep them moist for about 6 weeks after moving, but do not have them soggy or waterlogged either, and plenty of organic matter or a really good quality compost mixed into the hole before you plant, I use an organic vegetable compost
@@Jack-oc2xq Hey thanks a lot, Jack! I need to do some planning, but I'm aiming for moving them next spring. Seems like a long way off, but the older I get, the quicker it goes by! Thanks again!
You previously mentioned a grower advised you to use Rose-Tone for your Hydrangeas instead of Holly-Tone. Have you noticed any difference since then, making the switch worth it? Also, what about perennials that are mainly for foliage like Hostas---also give those 1/2 strength fert like the other perennials?
I've been fertilizing my hydrangeas with rose tone since she said that. I'm also curious to know if she has seen any difference because I didn't notice anything
To a certain extent, fertilizer is fertilizer, there may not be a huge difference chemically between Rose tone and holly tone, most likely not enough that you’re going to see any huge or even noticeable difference anyway
@@Dahliaismypassion If Holly Tone makes the soil acidic, the Macrophylla and Serrata Hydrangea will be blue. If not, they're pink. There's nothing that makes them "pink-blue." It's lime or aluminum sulfate that affects the pH of the soil, unless that fertilizer has lime or aluminum sulfate in it, no?
Thank you so much for the information and all of your tips I really appreciate them, I know I have a tiny yard compared to yours but I still struggle in knowing what to do when and knowing what to do, I never realized there was a winterizing lawn fertilizer, that's great. I just learned a ton of useful information and I'm hoping next year to have a more beautiful yard and flower beds.
Thank you for the info, it does help 😊 my husband and I were just talking about feeding our row of pine trees. The are looking very sad as you would say.
Aloha Laura! I enjoy all your videos so informative and inspirational. Hawai’i has same o weather year round so watching you , your family and awesome gardens is so much fun. Thank you for sharing all your experiences and expertise with all your amazing plants. I’m a beginner gardener and a follower!
I’ve looked back a couple times in this video and somehow the type of fertilizer used for Deciduous and Perennials was not mentioned. Can you fill in the missing Espoma type to use on those?
Hi do you have a video with you planting Hyacinth bulbs? I would love to see one please. You do have awesome videos and I learn so much from you. Thank you so much for being on UA-cam where you can teach everyone!
I'm pretty sure Laura planted some up in a container one video. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, that's the type of bulb that if it makes contact with your skin, it makes you itchy...and then it happened to Laura. ha ha ha ha
Oh ok I saw a video with Laura planting a lot of tulips in a pot and she said she would give them away. I’m not sure what that video is called, but I looked it up right after watching this video. I still didn’t see any with Hyacinth bulbs!
Yes, compost will help will improve soil condition but usually there isn’t a bunch of nutrition in it, nowhere near the level of nutrition a fertilizer has, so you can still add compost but it isn’t a replacement or an alternative for fertilizer
@@mumlaura6361 and @Jack: Thx to both of you for answering; I appreciate your time. One of you says it's not nutritious enough and the other that it may be too rich. Isn't nutrition synonymous to richness? I have always used compost for planting both for soil conditioning and for what I thought was adding nutrition to the soil.
xop23 referring to Laura Awakes comment, regular compost is not too rich for planting grown plants out in the landscape, the only case where a compost may be too rich is if you are using a regular or high quality compost for seedlings or cacti and succulents, in those cases you want a compost that is low in nutrition or one specifically for them, but if you are planting out roses or hydrangeas then use as much compost as you like. I think what they may have been referring to is if you are using a fresh farmyard manure that isn’t well rotted and in that case it would be too rich and burn the roots of your plants but if you are not making your own compost with fresh manure then you don’t need to worry about that
Also as you said, compost does add nutrition to your soil but in nowhere near as strong concentration as a fertilizer, this is hypothetical but one box of fertilizer could be equivalent to five bags of compost, in short terms you should be doing both, compost is better for lightening up your soil and adding some nutrition and fertilizer is good for specifically targeting a certain plant at a certain time to quickly improve its performance and rejuvenate it a bit
Jake Jones yes they do. But she mentioned that they don’t need nitrogen because they don’t have leaves. I was just wondering which one she used. Unless I missed her saying which one.
Could you do a month-by-month to do list next year, maybe one video per month for what to be doing in your garden?
I love this
Yes pleaseee
This would be awesome.
Such a good idea!!
This is a great idea and would be so so helpful!

Lol! I can relate! Where did summer go? :/
Such an informative video....all under 10 minutes. We appreciate you Laura!
I just went around and used the lawn mower on all the leaves in our yard. Free food for our grass!
Fall Garden Tour please 😊😊😊💯
She said yesterday in the comments section that they're editing one right now so hang on!

Hi Laura and Aaron! This was very informative, as usual. You're such an inspiration to all. Thank you for sharing!

I think what they may have been referring to is if you are using a fresh farmyard manure that isn’t well rotted and in that case it would be too rich and burn the roots of your plants but if you are not making your own compost with fresh manure then you don’t need to worry about that
Also as you said, compost does add nutrition to your soil but in nowhere near as strong concentration as a fertilizer, this is hypothetical but one box of fertilizer could be equivalent to five bags of compost, in short terms you should be doing both, compost is better for lightening up your soil and adding some nutrition and fertilizer is good for specifically targeting a certain plant at a certain time to quickly improve its performance and rejuvenate it a bit
How about house plants?
She's done a video on care and fertilizer for house plants.
Hi I live in Zone 5. I have a Rosa Sharon for 8 year this it didn't bloom. It still has life in it..I bent a branch. What do you recommend?
For deciduous trees do you use tree tone on all? I have a newer magnolia tree and curious what I should use.
Shelli I was wondering this as well. Which fertilizer doesn’t have the nitrogen that the tree doesn’t need? Or a low amount.
@@anitahadley2871 All fertilizer has the N*P*K (in that order) ratings on them, no?
Jake Jones yes they do. But she mentioned that they don’t need nitrogen because they don’t have leaves. I was just wondering which one she used. Unless I missed her saying which one.
Anita Hadley you can still use a fertilizer with nitrogen if that’s what you have, it’s just that the tree won’t use it
Jack ok thanks. I didn’t know if it would push out growth when it shouldn’t.
Loved It! Such na easy explanation. Finally something I will remember :)
