    I went to school in Monton, and later lived there. It had mature gardens. rhododendrons and trees we didn't have higher up the 'scarp. That you have created such an exotic garden there is incredible: your knowledge truly wonderful. Thank you.

    Hi need some advise first time having Ensete ventricosum in ground got it this year about June, I dug it up today it came up with big clump of mud should I wash dirt off trim roots before potting up in dry compost and do the roots have to be dry before putting in the compost or put staight in after rinsing dirt off

    • @montongarden
      @montongarden Месяц назад

      Hi, that’s exactly what you need to do, it’s not important the roots are dry, they will dry over time I couldn’t do that to mine as it was too big

    Hi, I'm subscribed to your channel for sometime now and enjoy it. Could you tell me if you can, I have a Rogersia Bronze Peacock plant, I've list the tag. I need to know do I have to over winter it in my shed as not got a garage or greenhouse. I've tried to Google it but I cannot find any information. Thankyou for your time. 🪴🌱🌴😊

    • @montongarden
      @montongarden Месяц назад

      Hi, thanks for the comment! Is the Rodgersia in a pot? I assumed it was, it’s perfectly hardy, but as with any plant, you should always try and avoid a pot freezing solid should it get very very cold, to do that, just bring it into a sheltered spot against the house

    • @montongarden
      @montongarden Месяц назад

    iv just dug my maureli up today, not for cold or wind more because it wasnt in a raised bed and the water table was high but the roots were in tip-top condition .i was seeing other plants suffering from damp, so I thought I'd get it up and in the greenhouse and on doing it. i could see the roots were fine, and I'd no real need to do it as there is no frost forecast in the 2 weeks weather forecast .
