Once more, you have created such lovely decor for your home and garden. Your creativity seems boundless! The ruffled pansies are positively stunning! Pumpkins (and gourds) are some of my favorite natural things to decorate with. I have an antique wooden piece that I believe was once a drawer to a card catalog in a library. In this, I place some small gourds of different shapes which I allowed to dry then scrubbed clean (saved from year to year, sweet gum balls, acorns of various species, large and small, pine cones, dried hibiscus blooms, dried magnolia pods, a couple of small fresh pumpkins and some hydrangea blossoms which are turning from green to buff and even purple. Also included is a single deer antler. I place it on the buffet in my dining room and it’s one of my favorite things to recreate every fall.

Happy October: -) Love those Pansies, I hope I can find them in the spring, they are so different from the normal ones, those are much more elegant. they look great in your pumpkins for sure, and in the glass bowl too. Those roses you planted today, wow what large healthy plants. I wanted to order them from there but they were expensive. I will just order them in the spring. plus I want many plants too, and they add up fast as you know too, gardening is so much fun but can get expensive. Keep an eye out too this time of year even like Home Depo has 50% off sales on like boxwoods and hydrangeas and roses, and bulbs later on in the month. Enjoy the beautiful weather today, and happy gardening. you have inspired me to go get a few more small pumpkins and decorate them: -)

How fun! I have had my eye on those pansies. I will be watching to see how they do for you. I have never tried to grow peanuts, that looks like fun, now to find a spot where I can try them. I wonder if gophers love them, I have a real problem with gophers. Loved all the pumpkins. Like you I am holding back on spending too much this season. We are putting in a new greenhouse that my husband designed and is now building me and that is where the budget is going but it is going to be fabulous. Being in my greenhouse is what gets me through the long winter here.

The squash/pumpkin you were questioning the variety of, may be black futsu squash. I have grown them and like them a lot, but they are a pain to scoop the flesh out for eating. Also, I think both lilies and alliums with the roses would look beautiful! I love the eastern moon lily! I always plant some type of allium, usually garlic chives or millenium/serendipity with my roses. Salvias are also supposed to provide the same benefit. Apparently. it is the sulfur content in alliums and salvia that helps with the black spot!

Hi Danielle, love the double ruffled pansy's! I float mine in my fountain bird bath there's a pansy ring vase it's open through the center and is 3 tall. It looks like a table wreath when it's filled with pansy's. I'd plant both allium and Lily's behind the new roses! How were the peanuts Loved the three pumpkin crafts today! I just saw a white pumpkin with pretty dried flowers modge podged on it! So pretty thanks for a new Wednesday video

What wonderful pumpkin decorations! Have a look at Garden Answer's YT video, when Laura & family harvest and display the different pumpkins. YT Video shown on 25. 9. 2025 My Expectations Were Exceeded. I am sure there was one variety which looked just like the one which you like to grow. Laura provides names of the different varieties. Many thanks for your YT videos. So inspirational xx

Lucky Lucky you you got some of those Gorgeous pansies I can’t wait to get some next year, they were available this year in the PNW at some green house. I haven’t found any in the SOUTH, I am a pansy freak. When you picked up that pumpkin I thought, NEVER seen that one before I would love to know. Thanks enjoyed your video today, the garden looks great

I'll be on the lookout for those Elegance pansies in Northern California!
Here, we often decorate our pumpkins with succulent crowns. We use small sedums, aeoniums, etc, glued to the top. Then in the spring, we can put up those succulents for a second life!
Grace is such a darling garden helper!

Enjoyed seeing how you are enjoying and designing your garden. It has more structure now. The peanuts look really fun. The rose you selected, I planted earlier this year. It is truly disease resistant and has needed no spraying all through the summer. I am looking forward to the blossoms next year.

Danielle, I have come to the conclusion that you are able to get sooo much done in one day because you only need two hours sleep. I will never be as productive and organized as you are. I enjoy your presentations very much. Thank you for your time, Lauren

I received a similar pumpkin this year for my b-day and I love it! I looked, and I think it's called Black Futsu. If you go on Johnny's Seeds, there's a picture. I'm going to try and make a pumpkin planter this weekend. Thanks for the idea!

I love the rose garden! Can’t wait to see them in bloom next year. I’m thinking alliums with the roses. I’ve read too that they are good companions for roses. Oh and the little white pumpkin with the face is so adorable!

My guess would be a black futsu pumpkin, but there are others that have a similar appearance and there’s variation in the black futsu pumpkin, but that’s the variety that immediately came to mind when you asked.

Allium next to the roses would be nice! when you do mulch the roses, are you going to use regular mulch or will you use leaves, do you plan to use anything special to keep roses protected over the winter

My jarrahdale pumpkins showed this variation of color. On baker Creek website they look mostly green in pictures. But in reality, the more sun they get, the more dusty pink they become.

Peanuts! Now I need to grow peanuts! I love the idea of embellishing the little white pumpkins with dried flowers. I'm on it! As always your gardens are looking spectacular.

The pumpkin you were asking about. possibly Black Futsu
I watch a gal from Sunshine and Flora that grows something similar, see what you think
Thanks for sharing
