I love the artistic flourishes you add to your practical plant choices, forming lovely tableaux. Nothing like a finial or fleur-de-lis to add romance to a vegetable plot. One of these days I must get serious about a heavy-weight structure to keep out the critters who parade through the yard every night; skunks, raccoons, opossums, and cats. I know this since we added cameras last year when 'someone' was eating entire branches off my rose bushes. Now we share the videos as entertainment. Three baby raccoons wrestling are pretty cute. After five+ years of drought, Southern California has had so much rain. Still slogging away at the weeds, while everything else is growing like mad. Overall, this is a great Spring!
Norfolk U.K. - had box caterpillar for the last 4 years and through trial and error have discovered the following routine works. Caterpillars have reappeared in the last 10 days. I’ll now trim and shape the box and collect all the clippings on sheets tucked in below. The clippings are alive with whole and damaged caterpillars. A week after clipping I’ll spray thoroughly with Topbuxus XenTari. The box will get a second spray (but no trim) when the next generation of caterpillars appear in July. The box topiary looked lush, healthy, smart and undamaged all through each winter.
How inspiring Bunny ! I live in Canada and my farm is so bare compared to yours. I keep the dream alive and you are my inspiration. You'd laugh at my pathetic treeless landscape but Ive planted many, many small treed and shrubs. Thank you so much for leading the way
Thank you for the fabulous tour and detailed descriptions and information. Sharing your style, knowledge, and enthusiasm for the garden always brings cheer. ❤ from one who tends gardens on the Coast of Maine and Central Indiana.
I enjoyed your spring video. I can see your are trying out a mor “ wild or natural” approach, with more poignant or friendly plants. Some great ideas even for gardeners in a different planting zone.
Had them last year in Devon for the first time, but fortunately got hold of it quickly. Will start treating now again while we hopefully have some dry weather. Fingers crossed for you too.

@@norfolkenchants8090 Thank you for your tips, good to hear your box recovered and grew well. I hope my box remains viable from doing this bi-annual routine, as annoying as it is!
As we approach autumn and winter I love listening to your spring descriptions of the garden. Really enjoyed this as it pours rain here in Melbourne after a short drought May I recommend you watch the RUclips channel the horticulturalists made by two local well known chaps that are very plant knowledgeable
I’m in the north of UK and the ducks are paddling on our lawn instead of our pond…im in despair! So much rain rain and yet more rain..never know anything this bad 😢
I was shocked at the mention that this is a USDA zone 7 equivalent. I had always heard zone 8 to 9. I live in a 7 on the Northeast coast of the USA and the weather is miserable. 95 f for a few weeks each summer, incredibly humid, freezing in the winter.
Dear Mrs. Guiness you planted „Mönchsbart“ It is available in Tyrol in spring. We only get it in spring from nearby Italy where it is grown in the damp grounds in middle Italy. You can use it as salad: in boiling hot water for 2 minutes, sprinkle with Olive oil and lemon and Pinenuts. Thank you for the wonderful insights in your beautiful garden. 🙏
Hi Bunny, loved this video! Could I possibly ask a question? I took about 400 box and yew cuttings last September and overwintered them in my little lean-to greenhouse. The cuttings all look brilliant but they don’t seem to have any roots. What gives? Thank you!!!
They often take till late spring to root, I think you will find with the extra light and warmtth they should start rooting soon. Just dont give up and keep them moist in any hot dry weather.🐰
I am obsessed with and love watching your educational videos and seeing your beautiful gardens, but I am having a very difficult time hearing you clearly. Your mic makes your voice so muffled, can you please find a way to make your beautiful voice clear for all of us to enjoy. Thank you!

Dear Bunny, I love your videos and garden ideas and would be absolutely over the moon, if you could find someone helping you with the sound... 🗣📣🎧

Canadian viewer, here. I watch these videos to tide me over until it’s warm enough to plant here. Inspiration.
I love your enthusiasm as you show us around your beautiful garden! I do the same when my mum visits 😂

Found my first box moth of the year today (Devon). Will be spraying with Xentari tomorrow 😣 Thank you for sharing your spring garden.

i think that height in a tunnel is great for melons on a string in the warmer months here in a temperate zone, (US) (ala Mr. Dowding.) :-)
Nice Garden, I chuckled at 'see the Beef over there' also known as cows or livestock to poorer people :P

Once the Box caterpillars turn up you'll need to spray at least twice a year & it ain't cheep - money to burn?
I am obsessed with and love watching your educational videos and seeing your beautiful gardens, but I am having a very difficult time hearing you clearly.
Your mic makes your voice so muffled, can you please find a way to make your beautiful voice clear for all of us to enjoy.
Thank you!
Yes, please fix the sound. Such good information, but so hard to listen to.
Can you take ibuprophen as well as steroids
