This week we look at the fall color on crepe myrtles, we learn about all the changes at the Portland Japanese Garden. We learn how to build a tube to protect your tender vegetables. There are tips for fall chores in the garden including a warning about white flies. We look at the 5 favorite fall plants at the Legacy Children's Garden. There are some cool new outdoor lights for your holiday decorating and how to protect your tender landscape plants with straw.
Studio guest is Tom Ballue, President of the Mid-State Beekeepers Association. The featured segment is an interview with Amanda McNulty and Clemson Extension Row Crop Agent David DeWitt about how the flood damage is hurting SC crops and farmers.
Still dark here of course, but I think we may have a lovely dry, mild day ahead.
And here is the latest harvest from the web.
First the Central Texas Gardener.
They have the following...
From compost to water, we get resourceful! Visit a garden built on scavenged recycles. Beat the drought from trees to ground covers. A family replaced lawn for food and wildlife.
Silence, ça pousse ! visited an annual garden event at the Tuileries. They also visited Willian Christie's garden, and revisited a garden where they helped with a garden problem a few years ago.
Looks like it's going to be another nice quiet, dry autumn day here.
And it's Saturday again, and that means Gardening Australia.
This is what's in today's show.
A Steep Learning Curve: Jane meets designer, Ross Ubergang, and explores a chic garden where he's transformed a tricky site into a liveable space using recycled local materials.

SWR Grünzeug visted a nursery to look at herbaceous plants, shows how to look after large container plants, prunes a maple and has a look at various containers.
It looks like it's going to be a gorgeous, sunny day here!
And I found a few nice new bits on the web.
RBB Gartenzeit has items about asters, flower arranging with Chinese Lanterns, getting the garden ready for winter, apples for the winter and botanical names.
Quite a good harvest of gardening programmes today .

And here is the latest harvest from the web.
First the latest episode of Garden Time.
Here is what's in the programme...
This week on the show we learn about fall rose care, we also get the low-down on cover crops, there are some new poinsettias out for the season, and we check out the Pot Lifter. We also see how to use bamboo for garden projects, we learn if a good year for grapes makes a good wine and how to use cheap fence boards to make a cool bulletin board.
I also found a rather scary programme from Servus TV about how much fruit and vegetables are thrown away, or simply don't make it to the shops because the shape or size is not what the customers want.

Have a lovely Saturday, and don't forget to put the clock back an hour tonight.
Good morning everyone,
Nice and light in the morning now that the clock has gone back.
But not much gardening on the web today.
All I could find was a programme from SWR about a very old type of peaches, which used to grow in German vineyards and about grapes for eating.
http://www.swrfernsehen.de/essgeschichten/essgeschichten-von-tafeltrauben-und-weinbergpfirsichen/-/id=100718/did=10498948/nid=100718/1r6sqed/index.html
I'm sure there will be more tomorrow.
Have a lovely Sunday!

Have a great day!
Good morning kleipieper, thanks for all the hard work you do in providing us with all these wonderful links!
Good morning flowers in the rain,
Thanks for your nice comment!
I'm glad that you like the thread.
I usually come across most of the links during my daily round of the web, and it semed a bit of a waste not to share them.
Let's hope there will still be links to add during the winter!
Good morning everyone!
Another glorious day here in The Netherlands.
Mainly programms about trees today.
ARTE has the first in a 10-part series about trees in Europe.
