Getting the garden ready for winter is always a balancing act of keeping the garden looking good for as long as possible, yet getting the fall cleanup and winter preparation tasks completed before winter sets in. See how Rosanne and her husband prioritize and tackle their fall garden chores. Specifically, Rosanne breaks tasks into two major categories:
1) Plant health and maintenance (deep watering trees, putting up rabbit fencing, digging up tender bulbs, applying winter mulch)
2) Garden Cleanup (emptying containers, taking down annual vines, storing garden art, cutting down perennials, raking)

I love your informational videos. Thank you so much 😊 ❤
Great tips! Thank you!
Hello! I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for your recommendations. Good luck to you👌🌻🐦
I love the way you organized the topics in this video! Very informative. I have been putting my garden to bed for decades but learned a few facts and tips from you today. TY
Very helpful, thanks! I was just trying to figure out the best way to protect my trees this winter from the 🐇🐇🐇
yes, it's that time of year. I'm also in a zone 4 and have been busy the past few weeks getting everything tucked away, including tenting the hydrangea and winterizing the water features. The bird feeders will go back up soon.Thanks for sharing…
We bring work to the wire manufacturer, Rosanne. It's 20 degrees celsius here, I cut my Gunnera back at the first frost in September, but it's so warm for the end of October. Climate change 🙄Your collection of rabbits is stunning! A fluffle 🥰
Very, very informative. Thank you Rosanne!! I'm always eager to see your videos — I know I will learn something and also enjoy your garden's beauty!
It always wonderful receiving information from you Rosanne 😊 You and Steve work in harmony. So nice knowing. I was on vacation visiting family. Came home to garden work that's screaming for attention now! With the weather, it's not easy to choose the day for. It's been so cold. Today could work being a sunny day in the 50s, but living in an Association as I do, they are out here blowing all the leaves, so I need to wait until they are done. I hope they get to me sooner than later. I want to get out there! Thank you as always my dear friend ❤️🙏 (I'm going to grab a bag to fill leaves so I can put back around my plants!!)
I love your fluffle. A loving bath was given I am sure. An Annie Sloane waxing may just be the deterrent for dirt.
Thank you for doing your videos. They are restful and instructional.
Always love it when I see a new post. Thank you for the thorough list. I am off to work now…thanks to you and your beautiful garden.
At the end, the feeder with the cardinal, what brand is it ? I like that the bird inserts his head. Seems like less fall out. Thanks kindly.
It looks chilly there as I write from warm Queensland in Australia.
I look forward to your summer.
Love your garden and all your videos! Great fall and winter tips 😊. Thank you!
Thank you, for sharing your expertise.
Yay a new Rosanne vid!
Go Vikes!!
You are very organized with this process. I love your fluffle of bunnies. Your garden world is so different from ours, but that makes things interesting. In S. CA, we mulch to keep early weeds down, which can crop up if we have a good rain in November. With the Holidays I'm too busy to keep after them, and by January they can be setting seed. 🙁 I love your cardinals! So pretty. This time of year we have crows everywhere, fighting over the pecans on the trees that grow on my street. They store them in my copper rain gutters, then whack them on my roof tiles to break them open. Then there are the wild parrots that flock here, squabbling over loquats, guavas, dates, and eucalyptus flowers. It's something to see black crows circling one way, and bright green parrots the other. It's really quite noisy. Our pair of hawks just sail on the thermal above and try to stay out of the way. 🙂
Very informative. Thanks for sharing working knowledge.
I always love your beautiful garden and videos.. living in NW fl not able to have such gorgeous evergreens however some do well here!!! Thanks 😊
As a novice just figuring out my way around the garden in the house we bought last year, THANK YOU. This video was so helpful!
So happy to see another video from you , I did some garden cleanup today, so many leaves coming down at a steady pace. The Calla lily info was very helpful .
Thank you for this informative video. You and your husband make a great team! Stay well and stay warm… 🐿🐇🦜🌺
Beautiful garden; I did the same last weekend 👌🍃🤍
You have a lovely home and garden. I did not know about "winter burn" on evergreen trees! Thank you.
very enjoyable
Thanks for another great video! I'm in Minneapolis, too, and it's great to hear from sometime in my zone. I was putting down mulch this morning and then watched your video. Learned a new thing and now it looks like I can save mulching for another weekend!
Thank you Rosanne!!! Another great video. I garden in 7a. Love your videos!!! Always love watching you! Blessings to both you and Steve! 🍁
Beautiful video Rosanne, autumn is very beautiful, with its wonderful colors, but also the hard work of the leaves. Thanks for all the information shared. I just injured my back and now I'm worried about all the work I have in my garden. Hugs from Tulsa, Oklahoma!
Always happy to see you post a new video. Really enjoyed how you organized the topics and provided such great advice. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and garden with us. 🙏💚
Wonderful what a wonderful mood thank you. 😊🌹
Sorry for my bad english…
I've been gardening for many years but never knew about watering trees before winter, specifically evergreens. Will make sure to do that. And I just recently discovered that it's better to leave most plants up thru the winter, even some annuals. Also to cut back annuals planted in the ground rather than pulling out. The roots aerate the soil and provide nutrients for microbes. So much to learn!
On another note, I grew the same black eyed susans this year. Pretty colors but not sure if I will grow next year. Too many leaves and not enough flowers 😊
Love your garden and that shed is amazing!
I am so glad we don't have snow or such a harsh winter here in Melbourne, Australia
