Can you even believe it’s the end of September and time for another Garden Tour?!? I’m obsessed with my fall front porch and antique hued blooms… the garden is really aging gracefully. I can’t wait to show you around and cut some blooms for a bouquet to start the week!
As always, thank you all for sharing in my gardening journey! It’s such a joy to be able to share it with you. 💕

Beautiful Kate!
Kate, Your garden is still thriving strong! Love the gourds, they look like flowers! Your Dahlia’s are spectacular! The orange ones are my favorite 🧡🧡🧡 I no nothing about a Kiwi tree. It was fun seeing them grow!
Dear Kate,
Thank you so much for your beeeautiful tour! After what was a hard day to reset and ponder on good things and then your tour – happy, healing ointment indeed. Yay, sooooo look forward to your Mum's Tour! AAAANNNNNNDDD I love your Jug Bouquet!!!! So happy – You have truly made my day – thank you. 💮💮💮💮💮💮
Hello Kate I started watching about the time you were rebuilding the cut flower space.
Wow. Such a beautiful space!!! ❤I’m sure your dad is so proud.
The garden(s) look great🌿
Thx for the tour
I think your dahlias are spectacular! All your flowers are doing great! Thank you for the tour.
Everything is looking gorgeous and Spaceman definitely as a perfect view 🥰💞🥰
Very pretty arrangement Katie, I love how you are so “ tickled “ by the prettiest in your garden! Hello Spaceman! Zone 3 Manitoba 🇨🇦👏🍁
Love the full view of your front yard….. beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Maybe the bunny lives in your garden? Not a visitor 😂
Awesome share, have a wonderful day, take care
I sure appreciate seeing the entire front and back for a better perspective. I'm a big picture girl! Dahlias are beautiful!
Could the unknown dahlia be Floret’s BJ’s Rival or possibly dahlia ‘lifestyle’?
Thank you Kate. Beautiful flower arrangement! I do think that I MIGHT look for some of the dahlia tubers you mentioned, hopefully I can find them. 🌺💚🙃
Another wonderful tour. LOVE your gardens. Each one unique. My white guara quadrupled in size. It is 5 feet tall. It is not in a good place, in front of the garden bed. I staked and corralled it and it is the show piece of that bed. Goin' with the flow. Thanks again for your inspiration and insights and how did this happen moments…real life gardening 😅
Great tour, thanks! I LOVE verbena b. What's the hydrangea under the front window? And the near invisible fence right at the front edge of your garden? (You were going to link it in an earlier video.)
I did a Google image search of the unknown dahlia and it looks like it could be a: Dahlia Anemone 'Lifestyle'
What is the verbena called? Where do you find it? Or start from seed?
Beautiful garden!
Those dahlias 😜🤩 I'm so jealous !!! What are you feeding those Oakleafs 😮 TFS 😍
I have so many comments and questions for you 😆 First off, beautiful bouquet! Second, I'm intrigued by the kiwi tree! I've never seen anybody grow one in the US. I'm in zone 6b in the Midwest and don't think one would survive here, but I wish I could grow one! Third, you had a drought in Seattle? I thought it rained there all the time??? When I first saw that you used drip irrigation, I was surprised because I thought you had an abundance of rainfall there. Drip irrigation is not common in my area, but I wish it were. We get a lot of rainfall in the spring but then have very dry summers here. I need to figure out how to get my garden set up with drip irrigation, but I don't have a water supply near it…
Everything is gorgeous, especially the dahlias! 😍
Love how you’ve flanked the front walkway. So simple, yet very effective. Just beautiful.
Thanks for the dahlia tour!! Texas is not dahlia friendly
Bloomquist York is very hard to find! Great video!❤❤
OOOOHHHHHH….I found the Squidmo's….they are so dang adorable! I used them on a table scape for a girls night in – for my birthday!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!!
I wonder what it would look like to match the shutters to the ceiling on your front porch! If you ever get a chance, look up Picasso Stone, (it's a Jasper, also called Picasso Marble) it's mined in Utah, and I am OBSESED with it…the color palate and the Asian Watercolor feel to some of them!!! I think your Greek Cream color (my Greek girl ears caught that! LOL) with the black and then the caramely color from the wood would just make me smile!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
😊
Thanks for the tour! Your dahlia bouquet is beautiful! I am also enjoying my garden. I have lisianthus (started from seed in January), dahlias, zinnias, celosia, statice, ageratum, snapdragons, gaillardia, sunflowers, echinacea, agastache, salvia, gomphrena and marigolds. This spring was challenging in southern Wisconsin because we received 8 inches of rain in May and 13 inches of rain in June. Planting was delayed, so enjoying these blooms is very special. I feel your joy also watching you pick your flowers. Your videos make my day a happy day!
I grow kiwis in Seattle. I wait to pick them right before the first frost. Then bring them inside and let them ripen. I put an apple in the box of kiwis, which I place in a paper grocery bag to speed up the ripening process. It takes about a month for them to ripen. I've made kiwi jam that is quite good. They're also good fresh.
🧡Knock 🧡 Knock 🧡 Who’s there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad you planted orange dahlias? I know I am 🤣 they’re gorgeous 🥰🧡🧡🧡
❤
Fabulous that your roses are giving you a bit more for the season! And that dahlia bokay is gorgeous! 💐
Molbaks in Woodenville used to have a huge, productive vine in their greenhouse, and Tilth (on Sunnyside) grew beautiful, large kiwi on a massive support structure outdoors. Not sure if they still do. You could ask them how they manage the vine.
My current home, Lopez Island, around 5-10 degrees cooler in summer than Seattle and perhaps slightly milder but windy in winter, also grows successful kiwi. There is a kiwi farm here that used to be very productive. The vine takes years to really establish, and it wants a good amount of fertilizer and water. On a youngish vine, you could perhaps thin the fruit if you want bigger size. Last winter, the harsh cold killed the entire top growth of my own kiwi vine,, but it sent new shoots during summer. Normally here the fruit gets harvested after a couple of sunny days (so the fruit surface is dry going into storage), typically late Oct or Nov, I think, then stored in a fairly dry, cool place and eaten from mid-December or whenever they start to soften and sweeten.
The back garden is so beautiful! You have done so much work and it shows. The dahlias are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your garden and peaceful start of my day.
Thx for sharing about kales. Didn’t know there were any like the Redbor! And your gardens are looking oh so good!
I’m in your region and it fun to seeing your North Seattle garden vs my south Seattle garden!🌿🍂🌼
What a beautiful bouquet. I grew dahlias for the first time this year–just Costco varieties. But my how they produced. Love them. I was able to create bouquets for neighbors as well as myself. Next year, I want to try some other varieties in addition to these. I can see how people become obsessed with them. I'm still learning and you're helping. Thank you.
You have a wonderful garden, I really like your flowers, especially the dahlias. Wishing you a good day.😊
I completely understand your obsession with your front porch. "Gentle fall" indeed. I'm wondering if your outdoor lanterns were recently purchased and if so, where? Very envious of your dahlias. I live in Shady NY, so sadly they're a no go for me. 🙂
Your cut flower garden is still looking beautiful.
The anemone I’m pretty sure is Take off
