Hi there and welcome to my October Garden Tour of My Carolina Garden, back yard. We’re still feeling a bit summery here in Southeastern North Carolina. Temps haven’t fully dropped by the time I filmed this video, so you’ll still lots of tropical plants and flowers adorning my back yard.
I have a mix of more tender perennials, as well as tougher ones that are more cold-hardy planted in my various flower beds. I am enjoying blooming Dahlias, Mandevilla, and Dianthus, as well as lots of buds on my Camellia!!
My name is Nicole Roggeman and My Carolina Garden is located in Wilmington, NC in growing zone 8B. I hope you enjoy my back yard garden tour for October, and are getting through the wacky weather we’ve been experiencing alright!

I've never tried growing the decorative cabbage so that was interesting to find out. I keep forgetting about my purple hearts I have in a planter, I am going to get them in the ground today lol

Nice tour
Hi Nicole I absolutely love the yuletide Camilla, I have a Camilla, but it blooms in late February thru March and is a deep pink almost red. Your garden still looks great in fall. I'm zone 7b, already had to pull out long pants and sweatshirts but supposed to be warmer next week so maybe I can get a lot of clean up on my beds done. This old body can't take the cold like it used to. Looking forward to where you decide to put your new plants.🥀👖🍁
Good morning thank you for Sharing your beautiful garden lovely plants collection happy planting ❤❤❤❤😎😎
Hi Nicole , your garden still looks beautiful & colorful. Here in zone 7 it’s getting cold & there’s not much color left in my garden but it’s good weather for my garden clean up.
Your gardens are still looking great, Nicole! I’m not looking forward to winter when everything looks so sparse. 😕
hi nicole, enjoyed the video. everything still looks so beautiful. and you have a lot of color still hanging in. my canna lilies look pretty sad also. i think they may have the same thing as yours. i keep cutting them back but, i'm running out of the stalk now lol maybe they will make it i hope so. thanks for sharing your gardens with us. hope you have a great rest of your day.
Always a ray if sunshine❤
Gorgeous to look at as usual. You’ve had a great growing year. One question don’t think I’ve asked maybe you have covered is how often do you fertilize your mandevilla & dipladania plants. They just so many thick and intense red blooms
Love your tropical garden. Girl how many pairs of sneakers do you have? 😂
Omg! Your garden looks absolutely gorgeous. I’m in year one in SC and mine is coming along nicely. You are an inspiration! TFS💙🌸
Nicole, do you have to do anything to your banana trees in winter? I just purchased one a few weeks back. It is in a pot and I haven't decided a permanent spot for it. What do I do with it? I'm in Richlands, NC, believe I'm zone 8b.
Looking good Nicole! Love that you had a cabbage plant live for all the seasons for a year. Montauk daisies get leggy over the years…not sure how to correct that problem❣️
Your gardens still look great! We had frost twice already, everything pretty much gone.😢
Hi Nicole🌺 . Your garden always amazes me with its beauty every month . Have agreat weekend .🌺🌻🌺
Fun garden tour! Loved all your plants. Thank you. Like you, I enjoy the creeping Jenny even more when it gets a darker color. Such a great and hardy plant to have in the garden. Happy growing! 👌🪴🥰
Instead of backing off from fall gardening chores, I'm having to water again because it's been so dry. Also I am still planting clearance plants, but I love the sales. I am looking forward to seeing your greenhouse space and how you arrange your plants inside.
