November Climbing Rose Pruning and Polytunnel Greenhouse update

In this video, I am pruning my climbing rose, lifting my Amaryllis bulbs, and sharing a greenhouse tour filled with vibrant colors and lush growth that truly brings the beauty of gardening to life. As I engage in the delicate process of pruning the climbing rose, I encountered some interesting discoveries about its growth patterns and health, revealing how important proper maintenance is for producing beautiful blooms and ensuring the plant’s long-term vitality. During this process, I also discovered some green tree frogs nestled among the bare branches, which I carefully moved to a safe place, highlighting the importance of coexisting with wildlife in our gardens. Additionally, while lifting my Amaryllis bulbs, I found numerous offsets that I can propagate for future planting, which adds even more excitement to my gardening endeavors, as each new bulb represents the potential for new life and beauty. Throughout the tour of my garden and greenhouse, I’ll showcase not only the thriving plants that fill my space with their stunning colors but also some of the challenges I’ve faced—like pest and disease control —and the invaluable tips I’ve learned along the way to keep my garden flourishing in all seasons, making it a truly rewarding experience.

Late November

The beautiful Easy Elegance Snowdrift Rose is in full bloom, showcasing its delicate petals and vibrant white petals that attract a variety of pollinators, adding charm to the garden. The cabbage is growing in 4-gallon pots, thriving under the careful attention it receives, and promises a bountiful harvest for upcoming meals. I have lots of greens including turnips, beets, and bok choy, each contributing unique flavors and textures to our meals. The amaryllis seedlings in this group are 1 to 2 years old; I am nurturing them with patience, as it will be 1 to 3 more years before they begin blooming, bringing a stunning display of flowers that will be worth the wait. The last picture is a canna seedling, a lovely pink with striking dark leaves that contrast beautifully and will eventually add a tropical feel to my garden. Stay tuned if you like growing from seeds, as there will be plenty more exciting developments and tips to share along the way!
