Mad About Gardening
Великобритания
Добавлен 5 май 2020
Welcome to our channel. We are literally mad about gardening and plants, particularly hardy perennials. We have a keen interest in naturalistic planting and plant propagation. We are against using chemicals and try to make our space as biodiverse as possible. Our passion comes from a genuine love of plants that we've had since childhood.
Join us in our UK Cheshire garden, where we'll be sharing our our tips, successes and failures. With many years experience, both professionally and through our own gardens, we hope to share our love of plants with as many people as possible.
Over the years we have had many wonderful opportunities including creating some stunning planting schemes for our clients, planting show gardens at RHS Chatsworth and Tatton Flower Shows, volunteering at RHS Bridgewater Garden and meeting many knowledgeable plants people and garden designers.

Cottage Garden Small Border Makeover Part 1 | Awkward Thin Border Re-Design
One of my favorite things about these geraniums is that you could drive a car over them, yet they'll bounce back and grow perfectly again. So hardy. Great for the beginner gardener like myself. 🙂
Thanks for this concise and informative video! I grew Verbena bonariensis for the first time this year but had no luck with growing from seeds so will try the cutting methods.
Hi guys. Love the video. Is comfrey fertilizer suitable for all plants or just specific ones? I often wonder the same when it comes to tomato feed and seaweed fertilizer.
Just found this channel and have subbed. Started a new garden from scratch this year in a new build and am really pleased with progress. Just can’t seem to propagate cuttings though - do everything recommended - right compost - perlite - horses powder - side of pot etc but they all seem to die! Perhaps one day I’ll get it right1
Lovely garden. Weren't those poppies unusual? Love the big clumps of Heleniums. They are one of my favourite plants at this time of the year. Hope you both have a wonderful weekend and the weather stays nice for you. Been glorious today and so hot but maybe it felt like that as I was cutting the grass! September is often nice, just as the schools re-open! Take care. xxx
I planned to visit this year but haven't got round to it yet. I live in Scotland so it needs planning to make a weekend of it. I watched the documentary about it which was really interesting.
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.
Looks wonderful and relaxing there, makes me wish I had a real garden, not tiny back yard. Your garden makes me feel like that too! Thankyou and tc both of you 😀👍
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 😀👍
Lovely garden! I’m in central texas and have so many volunteer ruelia and zexmenia…I’ll have to wait till October for reliably cooler temps before transplanting.
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 seems like a very peaceful place.❤❤
It is lovely and peaceful. Lots of inspiration too 😍
This was nice, thanks
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it 😀
Hi Paul i am new to gardening but i was thinking of planting tubs of daffodils tulips and crocus in layers so is it ok to plant them now being as they will be planted together in the same tub?
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 👍
This was so useful thank you. I don’t have a greenhouse, can you overwinter them in a cold frame after a late summer sowing?
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! 😀
Salvia cuttings looking healthy and green like mine are too 👍My Stipa Tenuissmia is blowing everywhere but maybe too early to know how much will self seed! I have too much in my yard and due to work commitments/shift patterns as well I think I burnt myself out and needed a timeout, hence I've been quiet, sorry. The 2 Eryngium Neptune Gold which I moved due to over shadowing by a Salvia haven't liked the move and I think they're going to die. Maybe i need more drainage holes above the bin area, I don't know 🤔I'm on day 5 of 8 off and recharging my batteries, even though a sink tap replacement has turned into a full sink/tap/cabinet change as the sink broke upon removing a 50yr old tap 😡 I've done nothing more with the website, I just had to take a back seat and chill out. Hope you both have had a great few weeks and are good and healthy enjoying relaxation time when you get it, take care, Richy 😀👍
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 😀👍
Thanks for sharing. A friend just mentioned this garden this evening and I’ve never been before. They are holding their annual plant fair at the weekend! I’m very tempted! Only an hour away!
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.
Hi Paul, did you finally see a difference between the methods ?
@@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. 😀
Another brilliant and very helpful RUclips video. I did my Persicaria cuttings last week, I'm wondering what will be the best time to split the Orange Geum, now or should I wait for Spring? Thank you🙏🙏🙏
@@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🙏🙏
Love Erigeron.
@@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 😀
Great video. Can i take cuttings as its 1st september?
@@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 😊
I had a load of Erysimum "babies" in the bottom of a large pot that contains a rose. I rescued the plants and put them in their own pots and they're growing away nicely. I've got about twelve plants all for free. I bought the original plant about ten years ago from B and Q and because they self seed, I have them every year. I can't understand why this variety comes through all the winters yet my Bowles Mauve didn't make it through a single one. Hope you're both enjoying your weekend. It's been lovely here the last few days so I've been outside. I tidied a huge section at the back of my garden which gets neglected and I had a little robin following me. He came really close and when I spoke to him he tilted his head from left to right as if he was listening. I had a robin a couple of years ago that did the same but he disappeared last year and a really unkempt one turned up in his place. I understand that they're very territorial. I like to think that the robin following me around is the one that disappeared. xxx
@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
A question on the stipa, I have a lot of seedlings which have grown this year. How long do these take to become a good size? Wispy seedlings to small handful size.
@@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
Great video. Thank you! At what point do you transplant into the ground? I am in the US - mid-Atlantic area - hot and muggy in summer and cold in winter - some snow but milder winters than in more northern climates.
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.
So beautiful 😍😍😍
It's a lovely place to visit 😊
Hello, thanks for the video. When you mention’over wintering’ the cuttings, what specifically do you mean? What do you do with the cuttings?
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
Like the stone edge to the border!
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!
Hi Paul ! That's a nice reminder. Since you posted your video about euphorbia cuttings, almost each day I tell myself I have to do it (one of mines is struggling where it is so I figured I might as well take cuttings to start again fresh). I've already started to collect seeds, even when I walk in parks: I found some dried echinacea flowers from what seems to be "pretty parasols". I know seeds of echinacea aren't true to type but I wanted to try :) In september I'll let some dahlias go to seed to experiment with growing new varieties from seeds ^^ I tried taking cuttings from lupins and bleeding hearts but My plants are nit mature or in perfect condition so we'll see how this goes. xx
@@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
I just wanted to thank you both for you amazing content. Ive been scrolling through for only an hour and gained lots of valuable advice x
That's so lovely of you to say! Thanks so much for watching our videos, we're so glad that you are enjoying them 😀
Cosmos Apricotta with theese Antirrhinum 🤩How wonderful!Thank you for sharing with us
A lovely combination isn't it! We gained lots of great ideas from the visit. Thanks for watching and take care 😀
@@MadAboutGardening 🧡
My Mum's Annabelle has the same problem with the flowers being so big, that they flop over when we get heavy rain.....and we get lots of that in Ireland!! And yes, she puts them in a vase also!! Great video as always.
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 😁
What a lovely garden with lots to see. I don't think I've ever seen such a large display of Nicotiana. I've just been deadheading my little patch. Weren't those baby ducklings sweet?
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
Thank you, just what I needed to know, wasn't sure if they would divide but going to have a go in spring 😄
You're very welcome! Glad the video has helped and good luck with dividing next spring 😁
What a beautiful garden to explore. Thanks for sharing with us in the US.
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.
Hi good video i have question i got a pot full of them and its end of august how do i save em over winter
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.
Hi guys. Thank you, thank you for that tour of Scampston walled garden. I've only been once before but was greatly impressed with it. I did suggest it as a visit with our U3A gardening group but the lady who arranges the visits didn't think it suitable as it was by guided tour only and with small groups.
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.
Free plants 💚
We too love our free plants 😀💛
A very good morning, should I cut back the old flowers in August? Many thanks 🙏
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 😀
Hello, again, thank you ever so much for your clear advice on how to plant seeds. l always bought seedlings from a nursery but never grown from seed, as l said. l did buy all sorts of seeds, and now when September ( your March) comes l will be busy planting seeds for our cut flower garden, we have planted twenty rose bushes plus a huge variety of perennials, also gladioli, and lilliums, alliums, lupins, and then annuals. if this garden does not flourish, l am becoming a nun! By the way, Melbourne is cold in Winter down to 0 degrees some days, but we have hot Summers...Again, thanks indeed for all your wonderful advice. Mario
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 🙏 😊
Love this thank you so much. Going to give it a try as just been given some big planters and wasn’t sure what to put in them. Can I use old compost and not have to buy special bulb one ?
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.
Greetings from Melbourne/Australia, l just discovered your videos; they have been such a great help to us. l love your garden and your knowledge of plants, Like the boys in Denmark l got rid of the lawn and my partner and l are planting a cut flower garden, packed full of flowering plants, l am a retired florist, and l love flowers, but cut flowers have got so expensive that we are making our garden work.. From you, l have learned new varieties of plants, that l have never known but for some of the plants that you have, the only way l can find them is as seeds, l never planted from seeds before so wish me luck... Keep your RUclips videos coming, We are still in Winter so we are busy planting, hopefully by this Spring our garden may become alive and full of flowers. Thank you for all your advice.. Cheers, and thank you so much indeed, Mario
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 😊😊
You are the King of cuttings Paul! Hope you survived the strong winds last night/this morning. I just had a few pots blown over but no damage. My brother had a tree come down blocking his lane and it's also taken out the phone lines so no internet which will kill him as he's always on-line. Must be a lot of people affected as his line won't be fixed until he middle of next week. I suppose living in the country puts you at the bottom of the list as you're not seen as a priority. Hope you both have a lovely weekend and manage to get in your lovely garden. xxx
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 🙏
Thank you for such a great video. I recently bought an Annabelle but the winds have broken one of the stems that has flowered. Is this stem useless as a cutting now because it has a flower on? Many thanks Tina (Dublin, Ireland ☘️)
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 😊
You're right Paul, the Monarda does remind us of Fraggle Rock. Your container is very calming. I was in my garden for most of the day yesterday and the summer bedding is starting to look tired. I had to pull out the Mesembryanthemums which don't last that long anyway, and the hanging baskets are way past their best too but I'm clinging on for another couple of weeks with those. They don't seem to have liked these cooler evenings. I even had to put the lights on in the house as it was getting dark by 8.30p.m. Have you and Andrew ever been to Woolerton Old Hall? I've just found out that it's in Shropshire. Now that I've "done" David Austin's place I'd like to go there. We're supposed to be going back to Shropshire for another holiday next year so something to look forward to. Thanks for the video and take care. xxx
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
Love those colors! Especially at this time of year... when most are yellow.
It's a nice change from yellow 💛 Cheers guys 🙂
Sir your narration of the poem is so beautiful! ✨️✨️Very befitting for a beautiful poem that it is.
@AhmedFarouk-go9hp Thank you so much for your very kind comments. It really is such a beautiful poem ✨️
Hi Paul ! this monarda variety seems huge compared to the one I have ! But that height makes its flowers more visible. Question regarding this type of alliums: it's my first year growing milleniums and my question is: what do you do with the spent blooms ? If you cut them does it encourage more flowers ? Or do you leave them for winter interest ? Also your serendipity variety has a nice pink hue to it. Where are you gonna place this container ? Just being curious 😜😇
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 🙂
Beautiful photography, I would love to know what the plants are
Thanks 😊. It's a shame they don't have labels so we can be sure of the varieties.
It looks like Spanish ballerina
@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 👍
Thank you 😊
You're very welcome 😊
Thanks for the video, can I please see the outcome? I would love to know how they look with all the different methods.
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.
Also I didn’t hear what the vital ingredient was ? TY.

Your Calendulas look really nice. Mine have started flowering at long last. They've been so slow this year which I'm putting down to the weather. I also like the tiny yellow Crocosmia. They're gorgeous. Not heard of the Geranium nodosum. Aren't those flowers really pretty? You have lots of my favourite plants in your garden and it's so nice to still see plenty of colour. xxx
@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 😊
