In Zone 5/6, it becomes a rare sight to see flowers blooming through November, but since our frost dates, which are typically at the end of September, have seemed to push back until October, we seem to have more flowers blooming longer; and I'm always impressed with the flowers that even push through the frost. Here are 30 flowers that I have observed that are blooming through October, and even into November. 00:00 - Introduction 03:12 - Asters 03:52 - Japanese Anemone 04:43 - Sneezeweed 05:14 - Goldenrod 06:10 - Willow-leaved sunflower 06:45 - Agrimony 07:27 - Mountain mint 09:23 - Anise hyssop 09:54 - Obedient plant 10:42 - Purpletop vervain 11:13 - Homestead Purple vervain 11:45 - Ironweed 12:21 - Hardy plumbago 13:00 - Bampton vervain 13:51 - Heather 14:19 - Catmint 15:02 - Gaura 15:54 - Feverfew 16:36 - Shrubby cinquefoil 16:55 - Pincushion flower 17:25 - Calendula 18:14 - Borage 18:29 - Chamomile 18:55 - Oyster leaf 19:19 - Hummingbird mint 20:02 - Hardy chrysanthemum 20:44 - Golden aster 21:17 - Lavender 21:58 - Hawkweed 22:17 - Boltonia 22:47 - Creeping thyme 23:13 - Wrap up -------------------------------- 😎 COOL STUFF ↴ -------------------------------- WEBSITE: ➨ https://www.flockfingerlakes.com OTHER CHANNEL ➨ Plant One On Me: https://www.youtube.com/user/summerrayneoakes -------------------------------- 💚FOLLOW/SUB ↴ -------------------------------- ▶ Subscribe to YouTube: https://bit.ly/3sJ7Alo ▶ Instagram+IGTV: https://www.instagram.com/flockfingerlakes/ ▶ Facebook: @flockfingerlakes ▶ Twitter: @flockny https://twitter.com/flockny ▶ TikTok: @flockfingerlakes https://www.tiktok.com/@flockfingerlakes/? -------------------------------- 😄SUPPORT ↴ -------------------------------- if you like this episode and the others, then be sure to “Subscribe” to this channel and hit the Notifications bell.

Back in 2021 when we were tackling the big job of cleaning out the old nursery area to turn it into an insect meadow—there were certain sloped areas, particularly near the Meadow House and around the ponds—that never got dealt with because the tractor couldn't work on the slopes. Now we're coming up with a plan to manage these areas, so that's what I'll take you through today. -------------------------------- 😎 COOL STUFF ↴ -------------------------------- WEBSITE: ➨ https://www.flockfingerlakes.com OTHER CHANNEL ➨ Plant One On Me: https://www.youtube.com/user/summerrayneoakes -------------------------------- 💚FOLLOW/SUB ↴ -------------------------------- ▶ Subscribe to YouTube: https://bit.ly/3sJ7Alo ▶ Instagram+IGTV: https://www.instagram.com/flockfingerlakes/ ▶ Facebook: @flockfingerlakes ▶ Twitter: @flockny https://twitter.com/flockny ▶ TikTok: @flockfingerlakes https://www.tiktok.com/@flockfingerlakes/? -------------------------------- 😄SUPPORT ↴ -------------------------------- if you like this episode and the others, then be sure to “Subscribe” to this channel and hit the Notifications bell.

The Meadow House is getting SO close to completion, so just a few more finishing touches and we'll be ready to do the big reveal! Some of those finishing touches include making a spice rack, assembling the storm door, putting up some paintings, and setting up some nice floral table settings. -------------------------------- 😎 COOL STUFF ↴ -------------------------------- WEBSITE: ➨ https://www.flockfingerlakes.com OTHER CHANNEL ➨ Plant One On Me: https://www.youtube.com/user/summerrayneoakes -------------------------------- 💚FOLLOW/SUB ↴ -------------------------------- ▶ Subscribe to YouTube: https://bit.ly/3sJ7Alo ▶ Instagram+IGTV: https://www.instagram.com/flockfingerlakes/ ▶ Facebook: @flockfingerlakes ▶ Twitter: @flockny https://twitter.com/flockny ▶ TikTok: @flockfingerlakes https://www.tiktok.com/@flockfingerlakes/? -------------------------------- 😄SUPPORT ↴ -------------------------------- if you like this episode and the others, then be sure to “Subscribe” to this channel and hit the Notifications bell.

Now that the built-in raised bed and trellis system is affixed to the Meadow House—it's time to plant! I'll be going with all perennials in this bed so that next year, we'll have a full palette of color from spring through Fall. Special thanks to @EspomaOrganic for partnering with us on this video.

We're nearing the completion of the Meadow Home—(we project another 3-4 weeks or so)—and one of the big outstanding items we'd like to accomplish is building a raised garden bed and trellis system for the eastern side of the Meadow House. This took some critical thinking in advance because we were about to pour the concrete patio, and wanted to make sure that it didn't drain onto the patio, and had more stone drainage below it. We'll show you how we thought about the design, construction, and the process of assembling it on this new renovation. -------------------------------- 😎 COOL STUFF ↴ -------------------------------- WEBSITE: ➨ https://www.flockfingerlakes.com OTHER CHANNEL ➨ Plant One On Me: https://www.youtube.com/user/summerrayneoakes -------------------------------- 💚FOLLOW/SUB ↴ -------------------------------- ▶ Subscribe to YouTube: https://bit.ly/3sJ7Alo ▶ Instagram+IGTV: https://www.instagram.com/flockfingerlakes/ ▶ Facebook: @flockfingerlakes ▶ Twitter: @flockny https://twitter.com/flockny ▶ TikTok: @flockfingerlakes https://www.tiktok.com/@flockfingerlakes/? -------------------------------- 😄SUPPORT ↴ -------------------------------- if you like this episode and the others, then be sure to “Subscribe” to this channel and hit the Notifications bell.

Since we've gotten here at Flock, we've placed a big emphasis on native plants to our state and ecoregion. Though we have some excellent native plant nurseries in the area—they don't grow every variety and they often don't sell plants as plugs. Plugs are essentially young plants that are two to eight months old and have a range of benefits—one being economical. I'll take you through the ins and outs of plug planting and special thanks to Izel Plants for providing a clearinghouse of native plants to homeowners throughout the United States.

We introduced the 'Yellow Garden' a couple weeks ago on this channel, and I finally got a second wind to begin putting together an exciting plant palette, which will turn this garden into MORE than a 'Yellow Garden' and one that not only has continued 4-season interest, but hues of yellows, oranges, rusty reds, purples, and blues. We see this as a garden that will connect the color ways of all the surrounding landscape and gardens, so choosing plants feels more intentional. Enjoy the planting!

We've seen some ticks since we've gotten here—and even had some close calls, but this time Sander truly got bit by a tick, missed it, and ended up contracting Lyme disease.

@redhouseranchllc7977 (Red House Ranch) is a third generation regenerative farm focused on pasture-raised cows, hogs and chickens located in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Ike Mallula and his brother Dave, had left their parents' farm with no intention on coming back, but much to everyone's surprise—they decided to revivify the farm seven years ago and now they provide pasture-raised meats and eggs all around the Northeast.

It's been perfect weather for some summertime projects, so we decided we would have a couple days of do-it-yourself builds and restoration, including the designing and making of a bucket bench for the front porch of the Meadow House; the restoration of a wrought iron table that I picked up from the local auction for an absolute steal; and upcycling some of the cherry butcher block from the Meadow House countertop into 3 cutting boards.

The garden that we colloquially refer to as the 'Yellow Garden' is going to get an overhaul this year because we never really quite got around to planning, designing, or managing it. It's an exciting project because it'll eventually be linked to the Memorial Garden on the other side, which is much more well-maintained—(except for some parts).

All the planters in the gazebo are accounted for after today—with a honeysuckle 'Kintzley's Ghost', Sander's White Rambler rose, Red Chinese Noodle Beans, and two different clematis. These won't be the final planters they are in, but they may be the ones that we have for the year.

I couldn't even wait for the official planting season to get the gazebo started with some plants. One of the qualities I loved most about this gazebo was that it could also serve as a trellis. And the first plant that I chose to plant is a Lonicera reticulata 'Kintzley's Ghost' honeysuckle vine. It's a vining honeysuckle that is native to the more western parts of the United States, but this cultivar reminds me more of a climbing eucalyptus. It gets the most beautiful blue color with tiny yellow flowers that are a pollinator magnet during the late half of spring and early part of summer. Stay tuned because I'll be planting the rest of this up now that the summer is upon us!

Steve and Marie Nygren bought a farm 25 minutes out of Atlanta, GA for their family to enjoy, but as rampant, unstructured development nipped at the heels of the surrounding land, Steve went on a long, tireless journey to figure out the best models to develop land responsibly while saving the majority as farm, field or forest. He realized that the key to conservation—at least in that area—could be through responsible development—and began looking at all the key qualities that would make an area enjoyable to live and interact with. He later turned his family's 900-acre farm into a biophilic community and convinced hundreds of local landowners to found a new city over 40,000 acres. This is Serenbe's story.

After planting Anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker' in the Memorial Garden last year, I decided I'd get three dozen more to plant throughout and potentially lift them in the winter. They are supposedly not hardy to Zone 5/6, which is where I am. It was, however, a warm winter, so I was surprised to see last year's plants emerge this year—and quite early at that! The ones I planted this year also came up slightly earlier than expected, which just goes to show you—you can't predict the weather!

Though we did a couple walk-throughs with foresters through our woods, none of us initially saw that our hemlock had been infested with the dreaded hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, a xylem-sucking invasive insect native to Asia, which entered into the United States through Japanese Tsuga (hemlock) in the nursery trade. Now that we know we have hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), we brought in some folks working on the intiative in New York State (and in other states), to share what they know about the adelgid lifecycle, what to look out for, and best practices for private landowners. We had a lot of difficulty finding out what to do about HWA—even with all the free resources out there for the public, so we hope this video will explicate some of the options that are out there. If you’d like to get the free resource for hemlock woolly adelgid licensed applicators in NYS, head over to our website at: https://www.flockfingerlakes.com/ —click on “Learn” in the main menu bar, and go from there. - Finger Lakes Prism here: https://fingerlakesinvasives.org/ - NYS Hemlock Initiative: https://blogs.cornell.edu/nyshemlockinitiative/ - Tree Savers: https://www.treesaverspa.com/ -------------------------------- 😎 COOL STUFF ↴ -------------------------------- WEBSITE: ➨ https://www.flockfingerlakes.com OTHER CHANNEL ➨ Plant One On Me: https://www.youtube.com/user/summerrayneoakes -------------------------------- 💚FOLLOW/SUB ↴ -------------------------------- ▶ Subscribe to YouTube: https://bit.ly/3sJ7Alo ▶ Instagram+IGTV: https://www.instagram.com/flockfingerlakes/ ▶ Facebook: @flockfingerlakes ▶ Twitter: @flockny https://twitter.com/flockny ▶ TikTok: @flockfingerlakes https://www.tiktok.com/@flockfingerlakes/? -------------------------------- 😄SUPPORT ↴ -------------------------------- if you like this episode and the others, then be sure to “Subscribe” to this channel and hit the Notifications bell.
