Thanks for growing with us!
Our first frost has come and gone here in zone 5b/6a in Upstate New York. With it comes the first round of cleanup in the garden. First we are cutting back, dividing, and transplanting our Sun King Aralia. This versatile perennial grows to the size of a medium shrub in just one year and we are excited to add it to three new spots in the garden.

Second we are saving seeds from Verbena bonariensis, a must have annual for any cottage style garden. It is very easy and we show you how!

Lastly we are cleaning up the terrace containers. Eric stopped watering them a few weeks ago so they would dry out and be much lighter to empty. We will be replacing these containers next season with larger containers to simplify the display and go for a more uniform concrete look.

I was always told to never cut back or transplant this time of year. Is that not true or does it go by species or something to that affect? Iโm still learning so please be patient with me. ๐
Love you guys, your so knowledgeable.
Enjoyed it guys – the aralia is going to look great in its new homes! Thanks for taking us along!
As much as I love the growing season, I also love the clean up and tidying of fall. I loved your reminder to divide plants – great way to increase the bang for the buck!
Great video! And thank you for clarifying why itโs OK to still plant now. I also thought it was way too late to be planting but six weeks before the ground freezing is much different than six weeks before the first hard frost. Thatโs an important distinction that I was missing! Love your videos!
Best way to start the day. โ๏ธ๐
I have a large grass I need to move this year and oh boy it's gonna be a chore. It's about 2 feet across but it's in the way of a Leyland cypress recently placed nearby.
Did you have any earwigs or JP beetles eat your Sunking? Mine took a beating this year. My hostas are still doing okay, and my coleus were looking good untill Sunday morning. Now we get back up into the 70s this week.
I so enjoy how you guys have thoughtfully planted your garden for all seasons! ๐
Great information, as always! Out here in California, zone 9b, we are still enjoying 80 plus degree weather. Almost time to start cutting back and dividing plants.
Hi.. I have several sun kings and it doesn't like much water or sun. First two years for me,, i watered too much and I have alot of leaf damage. This year I never watered and we are in a drought and it was at least 5 by 5 and gorgeous. They are huge
I just canโt do it; we have been experiencing summer like weather and I am still watering my annuals since I had the hose out anyway when I divided some perennials! ๐ฅฐ๐ธ๐จ๐ฆ Garden cleanup is a great learning summary for all. I too am reducing the number of small containers since they donโt hold much moisture and will be staying with larger, lightweight containers that can stay out during our -20ยฐC winters!
Your gardens are gorgeous. Thought it was too late but I'm going to do some transplanting today!
Good morning๐great information and indeed it is the perfect time to be out there relocating, dividing and typing up. We have been doing a lot in the last two weeks, we have had lovely weather, no frost here yet in Northern Virginia. Have a great week๐๐๐๐
Love you guys! I have learned so much this year๐ธ๐๐ธ
Awesome!
How funny. This video is giving me the information I need so bad right now. ๐๐ปโค๏ธ

You have setup your garden to give color all season long. I gotta do better with that my garden right now looks not attractive (only my first year trying) But i have learned from you this year so next year i will do better. Evergreens is whatโs up, then rosesโฆ.
โWho are these people, we donโt know these peopleโโฆโWhere are my legsโ๐๐ You two are so funny! Also you should bag up and sell those verbena seeds(my fave plant). Hard to find where I am. I have found them on the west coast, but just spent the last year in eastern Canada and couldnโt find them anywhere! ๐
Thx for showing the verbena bonarienses seed saving, I was wondering how to do that.
I would be lost without my root slayer. I divide everything with it
Thanks for another great video. Very useful information on dividing perennials. Even though itโs lots of work cleaning up and dividing itโs so very satisfying when itโs all done.

lm so sad to see everything go. l cant wait to see what you do next!โคโค๐๐๐๐
Great video, makes me want to get out and start cleaning up my garden. You guys have my favorite garden of all the gardening channels I watch on YouTube ๐
That root-slayer worked like a champ! I have a hardy hibiscus I need to handle like this๐ ๐
This week Iโve been doing my first tidying up. Trimming some, planting others, fresh mulch. I hope everything makes it through the first winter. Started my flower beds this year, thankfully most everything survived. Lost a bee balm to voles ๐ Thank you for offering so much inspiration this year!
Excited for you guysโ video!!! 1:32 one suggestion: use a bungee cord for these and perennial grasses prior to cutting back โค
Great video๐
You both are a hoot! Always make me laugh…..love your channel!
Hi guys – love your channel !!! I"m wondering if you could explain what you do to get your different types of hydrangeas ready for winter please please please. I live in zone 5b in Ontario Canada. I've seen lots of videos about what to do, but none that are actual zone 5b. Now I assume my 5b is the same as your zone 5b but I'm honestly not 100% sure. I'm fairly new to gardening and spend a good amount of $$ on hydrangeas this year and I want to ensure the survive our cold winter. I would so appreciate it, if its possible. Thx.
I just planted 2 sun kings this year, have 0 experience with them
This was a great video to find!
Great video as always, love you guys.
Can you give us the name of the 12 foot perennial at Frame 15.18. Learning
Relationship goals. You both are always so positive and supportive of each other.
