Oh yeah, we have weather shifts like that. Not quite 40 degrees shift. But it is a huge shift here in the SW corner of South Dakota in a valley between two ridges of the Black Hills with I-90 running through here. 5a is the gardening zone.
We tried to get a Tulip Poplar growing in the backyard. Supposedly hardy for our area. Finally gave up on that and bought the Catalpa to plant in the yard. It's been in there 2 winters & 1 fall so far. Hopefully it doesn't have any issues. We've not gotten any Cigars off it yet. I really want to see it bloom. I don't know how to get it to do that. I even have a great layer of mulch around the tree, all the way out to it's drip line. The tree was even given tree spike fertilizer when it was planted in the spring. Probably not the best thing to use but my husband wanted to go that way versus anything else. What do you suggest I do Laura? Dexter is such a cutie pie!

I have 3 QVC butterfly bushes in thin plastic pots on top of the huge transformer box in my yard. We've been freezing w/ 20's at nite here S. of Seattle. I did a ton of research & young Hydrangea & succulents are in my garage. I'll bring them in tmw. The problem is. we get too much blooming. Even my Shasta daisies were trying to grow. One thing nice about Western WA is that blooming starts in Feb! But, gotta always watch out for ice storms!

this was very helpful as I needed reassurance and a good reminder on how to over winter the 75% off sale plants I got. I never thought about using an unheated building. this video also is making me curious as to what plants are 2 zones less than zone 4. I would like to see the end result of the plants dug into the ground though.

I made the mistake of planting perennials that bloom in the summer or next fall (365 days to bloom! Planted on June 12, 13. I read I was supposed to wait until fall! What can I do to help these new seeds survive? I planted them in small containers that could be moved. Im in zone 7. Help!

Hi Garden Answer. I have a question about my succulents. I had babies ones propagating and when they start to grow up I put them in individual vases and they apparently stopped growing up. Do you have any idea what is going on? Thank you so much!

Great tips Laura. It's so cold out. We are finally getting some rain here in Northern California! Good to see Dexter again. It's so cute the way you adopted him when you bought your place. :)

How do you de-bug your plants before bringing them in to winter over? We don't have a barn and like to bring our plants into the house so we can still enjoy them.
