Hello! My name is Bethany and I grow things in my rooftop container garden in Chicago, zone 6a. In this video, I’ll show you what my garden looks like at the beginning of September.

you have by far the best zinnias ever. I'm going to try to join the club next year. ๐ค๐ฝ
Did you fertilize the morning glories? They do best in poor soil without fertilizer.
Do you spray the petunias with BT weekly for budworm prevention?
I want to add Zinnias to my Garden next year. I also want to try Straw flowers. Where do you buy your seeds?
Love Your Herb Rack. I want to try Herbs next year too. I want to try drying it to use in cooking during the Winter and fresh in the Summer.
I love your container Garden. I have never had much luck with Container gardening but you obviously have a knack for it. ๐
What fertilizer do you use for your flowers?
It is all still so beautiful. Cut your mint and water it it will come back
Love your garden! I've been taking notes so I can begin a container garden next Spring. I especially love the dahlias. Do you pull the tubers and store them over Winter?
Your "morning glory" is confusing to me. I have a moonflower and the leaves are darker.. idk if that's normal like color variation. Does it only open in the evening? I'm in Atlanta and get massive blooms due to the humidity. I bought a lemon verbena plant recently and the tea is amazing ๐ฅฐ. Raspberries are also my favorite fruit. I'm tempted to get a plant
You're too hard on Oklahoma Pink! They look adorable
Last comment, I keep thinking of things. I bought a tiny tidbit hydrangea and I think I accidentally put it in too much sun. It's almost dead BUT I also bought a wee white hydrangea and even though I just planted it, it's thriving with loads of blooms. I think you'll love dwarf hydrangeas.
I also have a "black" sweet potato vine for fall
Beautiful garden you have ๐ฅฐ
Beautiful garden. ๐๐๐
You have such a beautiful garden. And those sunflower trellises are amazing. I think Iโll try that. ๐ฎ
The sleeping bumble bee ๐ฅฐ
I just love zinnias. They always deliver.
OMG I hate morning glory! In the Pacific Northwest it is a nightmare. ๐
Catching up on videos, so I know this is a few weeks old… Your garden looks gorgeous as always! Just wanted to mention I planted my strawflowers in a raised bed a lot closer together this year – maybe 4-6 inches apart – and they did great! They've bloomed all summer through fall & keep blooming even though I've cut a ton of blooms for drying. Love them! Next year I need to plant gomphrena like yours too – already have the seeds for next yr ๐บ
