The fall container garden needed a little bit of TLC. We decided to clean things up, harvest cockscombs and replace some of the plants.
We still have ranunculus + anemone corms avaible on our website below!

Hey you guys, it’s John here. We are in the container garden this morning. I feel like we haven’t been out here in such a long time. We’ve been busy planting all of our clients gardens, but we definitely need to do some work out here. We had a huge rainstorm a couple weeks ago, so some things are still a little like displaced from that. And some things are just completely dead. They’re out of season. So, we got to take some of the things out. Um, we’re going to I don’t know what we’re going to do here. Maybe tie this up or replace it with um another solosa that we have. But we need to fix this situation. We have some grass that needs a little bit of pruning. Um, and then we have we have some dead plants actually in here. Oopsies. I think this happened after the rain. I don’t think they loved sitting um in a lot of water. So, we’re going to take out a lot of dead things. And we don’t have anything on the side of our house right now to like replace things with. But I think just cleaning things up, taking out the dead, and just fixing up, maybe lifting up this mahogany hibiscus a little bit um would help it just uh make it a little bit more tidy in the garden. So, we’re going to do that. I’m going to go get changed and we will be right back. Okay, we are back. I think what we’re going to do first is take just a lot of the plants, push them out, and then kind of assess if we’re going to keep them or compost them. Now, it is the beginning of November. Some things still look pretty good, but other things have been in the garden for a long time and they’re getting kind of tired. So, we’re going to start um getting rid of some of the flowers that are going out of season and slowly start putting in more cooler tolerant flowers like cabbages, maybe some pansies, violas, alysums, things like that. Um and kind of transition the garden slowly from our fall into our winter um winter garden. Hi, Rosie. you gonna help? Okay, so we took out kind of the middle section, lower middle section, and then the border of the garden. Hi, Rose. She is being very nosy right now, but some things look okay. Um, a lot of things don’t look super hot. Like these are what the cooxcombs look like. This is the twisted orange cooxcombs. These have been blooming since like August. And some of them obviously have seen better days. So I think we’re just gonna make like a giant bouquet out of them and then not put them back in the garden. Um some of these cooxcombs like the border, this is the brainiac mad magenta. Um they look good but they like lost all their leaves. I don’t know exactly what’s happening. I think a lot of this happened after a huge raintorm. They did not like to be super wet for gosh it was a couple days. So, anyways, I think we’re going to keep the cooxcombs for now. I think they’re going to dry really well. We’re just going to clean them up a little bit. Same with those. Um, but some of the other ones kind of still I mean, they look okay, but I don’t know if we’re going to keep them in the garden. Um, anyways, and we’re going to keep the sweet potato vines. Just clean them up, take off all the dead leaves. Again, this is another really sad cooxcombs. It still looks good, but some of them look dead. Um, and then there was some completely dead plants in here. That one was dead and others were just completely dead. We had one, two, three, four completely dead plants in there. So, we took them out. They were all hidden underneath some of the solos that were bending over. So, it was a little scavenger hunt. There’s also some really spent zenyas that we’re going to get rid of, too, just to clean up the garden a little bit. There’s one there. There’s two here. These look okay, but I think we’re just going to get rid of them for now to clean up the space just a little bit. We did have a lot of really good caliber koa um blooming earlier in this season. I think we’re having a little bit of a thrip issue and that’s why they kind of stopped blooming. I don’t know exactly what I’m going to do about it. Thris are kind of a weird insect to deal with. So anyways, we’re going to clean this up a little bit. There’s some again the cooxcombs I think just dropped a lot of leaves so we’re going to clean that up. Um but we’re going to leave most of this for the most part. Can you move? Hi. Rose, what are you doing? Rose. Rose is being a really good helper. And whenever we are um doing container garden work outside, we just make a mess. We put everything, we strip leaves on the ground, whatever, and then we just sweep it up at the end. It makes it so much easier just making a mess. And whenever we are doing stuff in the container gardening like cleaning and stripping leaves, we just strip them right in the ground kind of like a florist would and then sweep it all up the end. It makes it so much easier. So we have this solosia that is just completely like spllayed opened in the center. And instead of tying it, I I’m sure we could tie this together and kind of make it go more upright. We have some extra pots. I’ll show you guys over here. We have these two pots right here. And these really don’t get any sunlight now that the sun has moved um more south. This is north. This face is north. Sun has moved this way. So, I think we’re just going to put this one over there. Kyle’s taking out that pot. And just switch the two. Okay. So, we have this dragon’s breastia that was here. And I don’t know what happened, but this pot is quite large. And I think, oh, this plant, this one died. So, this one died. And I think a lot of them just got a little bit smothered by the other plants. So, I think we’re just going to remove this grass cuz I don’t It doesn’t really do anything back there. Uh, we’re just going to take that out of there. We’re going to put a different dragon’s breath here. That’s going to look a little bit better. Or maybe we’ll put the purple one there. And then we’re going to add um something else. Probably the dragon’s breath up here. And then the purple one in the back. and then kind of replace those because I love this. I think I’m just going to use this as a cut flower. Pack up that pot because we have some extra pots over here that we can use and just put them in the garden over there. Okay, you guys. We had this mahogany hibiscus back here and it was just leaning on all the plants. I’ll show you guys. I’ll flip the camera around. It was leaning on all these plants. So, we like twisted it so it would go that way. But, I feel like it’s a little much. It’s a little uh heavy right here. So, I think we’re just going to remove that plant cuz it’s just all growing sideways. And I think we’re going to put this one right there. Oh, what are you doing, Rose? What is she grabbing? What are you doing? What are you doing? You trying to get the stick? She’s trying to get the stick, but it’s just it’s attached to the tree. Rosie, what are you doing? Okay, we moved quite a bit of stuff around. Um, we’re going to put a lot of it back in, but I think we’re going to tuck in some of these dragons rust solicious that look really good and even that intense purple one that’s right here because this isn’t getting any sunlight anymore. We’re going to move this um over there. And then we’re going to keep only the good-looking ones. Anything that looks kind of ratty, like this pot right here. Um, we have one, two good-looking ones, but for the most part, most of this pot, um, looks kind of bad. And I think it’s because obviously all these leaves have been dying because the bottoms have not been getting any sunlight. So, we’re only going to keep the good-looking ones. And then we’re going to put those back in the container for Okay, so we put in all of the dragon sprout solos and the intense solos. Now, it’s time to put back everything else. The peppers, the barolds, the alterna, and then really everything else that we have. Okay, you guys, we are done rearranging everything. It looks so much better. We can actually stand here and look at the whole garden, and it’s so beautiful. Um, we really didn’t stake anything. We kind of just rotated the pots, rotated the plants, and leaned them up against kind of the back and then rearranged everything down here. And I’m obsessed with how everything turned out. Um, everything looks really good. We had really big problems like I mentioned previously with thris earlier in the season, but a lot of things grew out of them. Um, usually thris don’t like the cooler weather. Our nights have been getting down in the into the 50s, um, which they do not like. So, everything looks great. We tucked in the altern. We have maragolds again, the durango bee, and we did decide to put a cute border of dwarf peppers. This is the aquapulo. Um, there’s dark orange here with is which is orange and purple. Love that. And then there’s Aquapulo purple with a red and purple pepper. That one’s going to be really, really cute. Um really November and December are the best months um for ornamental peppers here because I feel like they like a little bit cooler temperatures uh to really put on some really nice fruit sets. Um so anyways, these are everything in the garden. We took out all the cooxcombs. I know y’all, I love cooxcombs. Uh but they were just looking kind of ratty and I think it looks much tidier now that the cooxcombs are not here. um they really peak in like late summer and early fall. And now the garden is much more tidy. We did move quite a few things around back here as well. I’ll show you guys a few things over here. Um we we took out some zenyas here and moved some more cooxcombs over here and I think they look really lovely. This one’s the Dracula. Absolutely love her. Um and then we moved What else did we move? We moved some stuff on the other side of the garden. Um, we we we we moved this dragon’s breast solosia from that was right here over here and then we tucked in some more um intense purple solos back there and I think it looks really really lovely. So anyways you guys that is it for today’s video. Thank you so much for watching. Uh we still have anemy and renunculus corns available on our website. Now is a great time to plant all of your corns for beautiful blooms this spring. And we also have life plans available for shipping on November 10th.
