You'll have to visit a few places in the area and make the most of your visit Sharon. We volunteered when it was just an overgrown site so it's been great to follow its development over the years. Have a great weekend.

It's a lovely place to visit Richy. I can remember back to our courtyard garden and balcony and wishing for a bigger space. You never know what's around the corner. Glad you can feel relaxed watching our garden. Have a great weekend and take care 😀👍

Thanks, we get a lot of enjoyment from keeping it looking as good as we can. Yeah, best to wait until it's cooler to transplant. The Texas summer must be very hot ☀️

It is lovely and peaceful. Lots of inspiration too 😍

You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it 😀

That's a great idea as you'll have lots of flowers to enjoy over a longer period. So long as you're using fresh compost in the container you should be fine planting everything now. We usually say wait with tulips until the colder weather to ensure any soil borne viruses are killed but in pots, this isn't much of a problem so long as the compost if new. Happy planting 👍

Yes, that's perfect. Many people sow direct into borders too but I prefer to grow on in pots and plant out in the spring. Thanks for watching 👍

That’s brilliant, thank you. I’ve decided never to direct sow ever again as despite trying about 13 different slug defences, this year the slugs ravaged everything I put in my beds.So I now need to do some trial and error with all my biennials and autumn sowings to see how everything does over winter! Thanks again :)

@rebeccadonovan1984 Youre welcome. We're the same with the slugs which is why we grow plants on to a good size before letting them loose in the ground. It's been a particularly bad year with them as they've eaten plants they usually leave alone! 😀

Hi Richy, good to hear from you. It’s good that you have been taking it easy, we have to look after ourselves and know when some relaxation is needed. You work very hard and do difficult hours so I’m glad you have some time off to recharge. You’ll have to keep an eye on the Eryngiums and see if more drainage is needed for your planter. We’ve been okay, had some time off together last week and have enjoyed the garden in between the showers and cooler weather. Enjoy the remainder of your time off, take care too 😀👍

You're welcome Matthew. It's a very beautiful garden and I'd definitely recommend a visit with you being fairly close. If we lived a little closer we would be tempted to visit at the weekend when the plant fair is on! Hope you get to go and enjoy your visit.

@@mypreciousgarden Yes, there was definitely a difference and the ones soaked in water first were so much better and remained more colour. I'd definitely recommend soaking first 👍

@@MadAboutGardening Oh, good to know, thanks, I'm gonna try that ! I did things wrong with the first ones, I left them in water for a few days and then worried the stems would rot so I took the water away 😅

@mypreciousgarden Hopefully the stems won't rot even if left for a couple of days. Once the heads have been soaked, they are left in water like cut flowers until they dry out. They make beautiful dried flowers and we'll worth the effort. 😀

@@jaimeabreu2223 Thanks so much 😀. Geums can be divided anytime once the flowering has finished so now is a good time. Have a great week 👍

@@MadAboutGardening thank you🙏🙏

@@skincarefan7742 It's an amazing plant with flowers that go on and on. We've bought E. karvinskianus 'Lavender Lady' this year which is another lovely one 😀

@@susannaylor451 Yes, September is fine as they will be rooted within 3-4 weeks. Just make sure they are kept somewhere inside before the weather turns frosty. Thanks for watching 👍

@@MadAboutGardening thank you, 😊

@@susannaylor451 You're welcome 😊

@wendybartlett6717 That's wonderful Wendy, we love Erysimums for their lovely scent and long flowering period. We'll have to allow ours to set seed and see if they grow. We had a nice sunny day yesterday but today we've had showers and some thunder and lightning. Honey was a bit shocked with the loud bangs as it woke her up from a nice sleep. Robins are lovely gardening companions. There was one that was always around when my mum passed away and they do say say that when Robins appear, a loved one is near. Your little Robin might be the same one, just a little older and a little aged like us all! Have a great week Wendy, take care xxxx

@@Saltytoxico To get to a good size, probably 2 years. The oldest ones in our border are now three or four years old. Thanks for your question. Take care

Thanks! When the cuttings have grown roots, they can moved to their own containers (if you took more than 1) I would leave planting in the garden until the spring at the earliest to give them time to grow on more. You could also leave them in pots and allow them to become larger plants before planting out if you wish. It just depends where you want to plant them and how much competition for light there is. Thanks so much for watching.

It's a lovely place to visit 😊

Overwintering just means putting them in a sheltered place where they can be protected from the worst of the winter weather. We don't have a greenhouse, but that would be ideal. We use our summerhouse and our mini plastic greenhouses to help them survive the winter. The cuttings will be potted up when they have rooted and then placed in our mini greenhouse until the spring. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

@@MadAboutGardening thanks. We have an Unheated greenhouse. Would that be ok?

@margaretcraggs6713 Perfect, that should do the trick Margaret. Take care

Thank, it's' a good place for wildlife to live too.

@@MadAboutGardening I bet! I’ve got those gabion stone walls and saw a from hiding there the other day.

@@PlasBachGarden That's wonderful, we would love to see frogs in the garden if only to help control the slugs!

@@mypreciousgardenHi, I have a list of things to do in my head and sometimes it takes ages to get around to actually doing the jobs even though I am reminded each time I go outside! Sometimes other things just take priority. That's a good idea to get some cuttings of your euphorbia. It's great that you're already collecting seeds and finding seeds in parks to bring home. Plants for free is the way to go and it's exciting to see what the plants turn out like. Its been a bit rainy here the past week but things look a bit better for the weekend and the week ahead so hopefully will be able to enjoy the garden more. Take care xx

That's so lovely of you to say! Thanks so much for watching our videos, we're so glad that you are enjoying them 😀

A lovely combination isn't it! We gained lots of great ideas from the visit. Thanks for watching and take care 😀

@@MadAboutGardening 🧡

It's a shame that the stems can't support the lovely flowers but we can help with a strong support placed in around the plant in spring. The flowers are so nice is a vase so it's not too bad if some break either 🤣 Take care 😁

It''s a very beautiful garden with lots of inspiration. It's a shame it's not closer to us though as it took over two hours to get to! It was so lovely to watch the mother duck taking her babies out for a wonder. They are so protective over their young aren't they? We really liked the cut flower beds with all the calendula, zinnias, cosmos and all that Nicotiana. Some lovely shades of antirrhinums too. It's been a little disappointing this week weather-wise. The sun has been out a little today, but it's quite cloudy. Hope you have a great week/weekend. Take care xxx

You're very welcome! Glad the video has helped and good luck with dividing next spring 😁

You're very welcome James, it was a beautiful garden to visit and one of the most relaxing to be in too, especially the area with the large blocks of grasses. Take care.

They are very hardy plants and will come through the winter fine. You didn't say where you live, but we've had winters as low as -13oC and they have come through.

Thanks Margery, glad you enjoyed it. It has been on our list of places to visit for years and this year we finally got around to going. We love the work of Piet Oudolf. That's a shame about your gardening group organiser not thinking it was suitable. I'm sure many of the group would have loved to see it. Take care.

We too love our free plants 😀💛

Hi there, we don't bother cutting the old flowers as they age really well and provide some lovely vertical structure. The plant will continue to flower right into autumn without needing to be deadheaded. Thanks for watching 👍 😀

@@MadAboutGardening thanks I'm quite new in the garden but I'm enjoying so much and I always follow your channel, thank you.🙏🙏🙏I also saw your video regarding the cuttings, I'll be doing that next week

@jaimeabreu2223 That's great, gardening is so good for us and there's always something new to learn and try. Good luck with your cuttings. Thanks for your support 🙏 👍

@@MadAboutGardening I'm the one who has to say thank you for all your good tips and knowledge, 😍🙏

@jaimeabreu2223 It's our pleasure 😀

You're very welcome Mario. Hope this helps when you come to begin your seed sowing journey. Wow you have a lot of beautiful plants. I'm sure they will all flourish with the love and enthusiasm you give them. It's so interesting hearing about what others grow in different countries and climates. Good luck with your cut flower garden. Make sure you include sweet peas as you'll have a fresh vase full every few days they flower that profusely. Take care and thanks for your comments and subscription 🙏 😊

You're welcome. Great idea to put your planters to good use in this way. There's no need to use a special bulb compost but if you are going to use old compost, we would suggest adding some slow release fertiliser to give it a boost. Bulbs should have enough energy stored to grow but it's worth giving them a little help to ensure you get a great display.

Hi Mario, 😊Thank you so much for your very kind message. It is great to hear from you. Glad that you are loving our videos, it is so wonderful to know that people are enjoying our content. Wow, the cut flower garden that you are planting sounds amazing. We would love to see some photos of this as you progress. I absolutely love cut flowers and putting different flowers together. Lars and Allen are amazing in Denmark 😊 Growing plants from seed is exciting, I will add a link to our guide on sowing seeds we filmed earlier this year - ruclips.net/video/lsL7Uo2ot1o/видео.html Australia is an amazing place. I have family over there. Keep on watching and enjoying our videos. They are made with a lot of love. Happy Gardening from us 😊😊

Thanks Wendy, that feeling you get making new plants is my favourite part of gardening as you know. The wind has been bad but luckily only some minor damage affecting a few stems on our cosmos plants. The sweet peas have been blown this way and that but seem relatively okay. That's awful what's happened near your brothers. Living in the country you would think more of a priority because of the remoteness and for security. It's been a busy week with one thing or another so very glad to finally be at the weekend. Fingers crossed for a bit warmer weather to come. It's really felt like autumn. Have a lovely weekend too Wendy xxxx

Totally the King 👑❤

@perennial-garden Cheers guys 🙏

Hi Tina, thanks so much! That's a shame about the stem but I'd give a cutting a try as you have nothing to lose. They root quite readily so fingers crossed for you. Take care and thanks again 😊

We would have a lot more monarda if we could grow it without the slugs getting it, I just love the fraggle rock flowers! It's been feeling like autumn this past week, we have to get as much as we can for as long as we can out of the plants still flowering. It always surprises me just how quick the weather can change from day to day. The forecast for next week looks much better, so fingers crossed. Yes we've been to Woolerton a few times, in fact we went in August last year and filmed a video of all the wonderful flowers ruclips.net/video/1fWrnYmkDyQ/видео.htmlsi=IB30xJfaFwD6bJTF You will love the gardens there and they have a lovely tea room too and a small nursery. The dahlias were our favourite when we visited. That will be a lovely trip for you to look forward to. Xxx

@@MadAboutGardening How stupid am I? My memory must be going as I don't remember watching your Woolerton Old Hall video but it's clearly marked that I've liked and commented. Good to watch again though. xxx

@wendybartlett6717 We're the same Wendy when it comes to remembering things and it was around a year ago when we made the video. Glad you enjoyed watching it again. A little better today with rain only coming this evening and the wind has died down which is good. Tale care xxx

It's a nice change from yellow 💛 Cheers guys 🙂

@AhmedFarouk-go9hp Thank you so much for your very kind comments. It really is such a beautiful poem ✨️

Hi there, it's a lovely tall Monarda which is great for seeing the lovely flowers. We don't bother deadheading these types of alliums because they don't re-bloom and we like the structural seedheads through autumn and winter. I've placed the container along the side fence when it can get maximum sun 🌞 Thanks, take care 🙂

Thanks 😊. It's a shame they don't have labels so we can be sure of the varieties.

@debbiedewar139 It's one we bought but lost the label during house moves but Spanish Ballerina is one we've not heard of before, so it is unlikely to be that. Thanks for the suggestion though 👍

You're very welcome 😊

You're welcome. We found that soaking the heads in water gave better dried flowers. We did an update in a later video, please see ruclips.net/video/yzJPzQf8IK8/видео.htmlsi=17jkMNcJrYQvQXQF . Thanks for watching.

@@janemarie6228 Hormone rooting power 👍

@wendybartlett6717 aw, thank you so much Wendy fir your kindness and lovely comments 😊 They are appreciated x Thanks, they are looking wonderful. I'm so happy with the entire garden. Everything is happening in such a perfect way. I feel blessed and privileged to be able to enjoy so many amazing plants this August. The Crocosmia are gorgeous as you say, and Geranium Nodosum is just so perfect for shade. I'm glad that you like the plants in our garden Wendy. We always appreciate your lovely messages. Hope that you have been enjoying your lovely garden x 😊
