It is a glorious time to be in NC with our cool temperatures and beautiful foliage! We expect our first freeze in the next few days, so I am sharing some helpful tips with you on preparing your garden for cold temperatures. Also, I am excited to share an update on the berm fence!

Fence is going to look nice! I know your ideas 💡 are going to be gorgeous for planting !!!! Beautiful piece of land for a nursery!!!!!❤
I LOVE these videos about the berm. I am so happy you will get some privacy. I know you must have plenty of gawkers who want to invade your privacy. Y’all are like celebrities in the garden world, but you are still a family and your home should be a place that is private for your family.
I have wanted to put some berms at our farm to gain some privacy. I look forward to this project so I can get some great ideas for my own.
I would enjoy visiting Creekside if I am ever close to your Dallas. I am outside of Dallas in Texas.
I love watching your videos! So helpful to see what a zone 7 gardener should be doing/not doing. My sister (and then my mom) moved 30 min north of Charlotte last year and I am so going to visit Creekside when you're open and I'm visiting them. Can't wait to see it in person.
Love what you're doing! It really looks super nice and will be beautiful! I can imagine, especially with your fame, that it's important to separate private vs. public with the nursery. Most wouldn't share their location but it's essential for you and the nursery! Classy way to do so though!
Thanks for all the tips for fall plant care and I'm really enjoying watching the berm fence project.
Live it. It's going to be soo nice.
I know your temp is cold. But here in S Florida is 68 that's the high with rain. Yes yes. I am so excited of our weather
The fence looks so good! How did y’all ever decide to open a nursery? That’s a mammoth undertaking. 😊❤🐾🐾❤️❤️
Jenny, Jerry,
We have 2 old-growth hickory trees & 3 old-growth oaks (including one that is downright HUUUGE! 😉). Sooooo…fall hits & we have hickory, maple (neighbor's), & oak leaves…early winter hits & we have oak leaves…mid-winter hits & we have oak leaves…late winter hits & we have oak leaves…spring breaks, new oak leaves push out the old, & we have oak leaves. 😜
Looking good Jenny girl 👍🏻😊
Looking good, so excited for you.
The new fence looks amazing Jenny!
33 degrees here at the NC coast in Wilmington. Brrrrrrr
Wow that new area looks like it’s going to be so much fun planting up!! Better not be anybody climbing that fence lol
Love the fence in the berm. It will be so nice when all is planted and give you all some privacy. You and your family deserve it. Loved seeing Miss B as always. ❤️
I enjoy all your videos! My husband loves watching as well and is impressed by the hard worker Jerry is.
On the Ajuga (hope spelling right), I am of the opinion that it is a bit too tall to be around those pretty stones. I am younger than your mother but could never walk there as would likely fall as shoe bottom or toe would catch on that. Also was an insurance agent for commercial and personal properties and I would consider that a hazard as a trip and fall. I absolutely love the new patio area. You guys did a great job!!! Thanks for taking us along for all the projects!
The fence looking great. I know you will be glad when that humongous task is done. Really enjoying fall this year… actually have one. Have a blessed rest of your day and week Ms Jenny and Mr. Jerry.
Looking fantastic Jenny 🥰
Hi Jenny 👋
Looks glorious there! Can I ask why you implementing that fence? Have you been experiencing wanderers? Or is it mainly to create a privacy block from the nursery to the house?
Fence will look great.
Everything is looking great! You all just do such a great job! Happy Fall to you both!
I have found, over the years, here in Williamsburg, VA, which I think is also 7b, that the ground really does not ever freeze. Maybe, with rare, sustained freezing temps, the first few inches freeze. But, by and large, the ground here stays pretty workable. I would not be planting here in January, but where I came from in NY, the ground would be pretty solidly frozen for a good part of the winter. This is why my violas look magnificent through the winter, and doubly so in the spring. Lovely to be in this climate, except, of course, during the hellish temperatures of the summer!!
Great advice about transplanting and cutting back, to keep the root system charged, and get rid of the extraneous stuff.
Hi Jenny! I was planning on transplanting my Nikko Blue Hydrangeas in a few weeks once we are actually in fall here in the PNW (zone 8). Would you prune down transplanted hydrangeas like you do your tender or woody perennials? Sacrificing blooms would make sense to me if it means less shock and more root growth for the hydrangeas in the long run. Thank you for any help!
I love the berm, and all your projects, especially the idea of having a mail order business, which must be daunting to get off the ground, but which your viewers are anxiously awaiting. It is sometimes difficult for your followers to find some of your plant suggestions where we live.
I’m so excited to see your fence when it is done. Question, is the stone on your patio in the backyard sealed? Do you recommend that?
I wish you and your garden all the best and I send much love and good wishes from the Bahariterra Islands.
Do you have bears in your area? I would think Brinna would chase it away.
Thanks great detail of Berm structure!!! Love it!!!
A well-thought project!!! 👑 can't wait to see more projects in the future!
You are so lucky to have had a regular Fall. For us, it went from 50 to 95 in 3 days and then back to 50 and last night it was 29! Tomorrow it's supposed to be 75! There is no way to time when to plant during our Fall. I really wish we could have a regular Fall. I'll be out planting bulbs next week when it's 35! Happens every year. The berm looks great and the fencing is really going to add to the landscape. Looking forward to seeing the irrigation going in and how you plant the bed. Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us.
From east Texas got to 34 this morning. We don’t get that usually for another month
Jenny, I placed my bulbs in an old refrigerator and was just wondering when I am supposed to plant them so they will bloom in the spring. I am in the same 7b as you are. Thank you so much. Also, I have a drainage problem with my backyard and was wondering if I put a berm in the low areas would that help my yard or make it worse?
