Some view this as a chore but this is one area of gardening I find sort of relaxing. Then you get so much more for your money- minus buying plenty compost and potting soil.
So true, AJ. I love this part of gardening - economical and relaxing. I can listen to my audiobooks while I work 😁
My Echinacea bare roots from Farmer Gravy have done well planted in pots in a well drained medium on the terrace but my Epimedium, and Oriental Poppies have crashed and burnt - don't think they've liked the UK's persistent miserable wet weather. BUT Farmer Gravy do have an excellent customer care service and sent out replacements without question.
Hi Laurel, I'm so glad that you've had a good customer experience with Farmer Gracy. I've always found them to be wonderful suppliers. 😊
Oh I bought lots of Farmer Gracy peonies and only 2 made it out of 13 , I was wondering if I planted them upside down 🙃. 😂 or because I kept them indoors in packaging for a few months .
The selection of plants you have amazes me.. So lucky you can buy those beautiful healthy plugs! So amazing that Veronica gentianoides blooms with the tulips in the garden, that looks sooo cool! 😍 I am moving into your neighbourhood!! 😂 Greetings, Judit
Thanks Judit....yes, come and join me!!! 😁💚
I planted Oxalis in a pot at the far side of my hot South Carolina garden. It came back!😊 So I bought 2 more this year and planted them in pots for my porch.
Fantastic Dawn - I hope I can keep mine alive too 😁 🪴
I love that Salvia variety
The best! 😊
Wow amazing.
Very inspiring to try these oxalis varieties.
That salvia amastat is a must-have.
Here in Northern Germany we have hailstorms in these days and my ornamentals are covered.
The year started difficult for plant production but I have special protective and mobile mini-roofs.
Today my dianthus 'Dancing Geisha' started germinating.
Hi Kati, dianthus 'Dancing Geisha' looks so interesting - I'd love to give it a try.
Yes, we've had such horrible weather and an unseasonably cold spell over the last week but hopefully the weather will warm up and we will have blue skies soon because all my seedlings are suffering from the lack of sunshine. It's pretty sad.
My Salvia’s also don’t make it over winter in London. Having learnt from my mistake I will always take cuttings. I keep them inside over winter and sometimes have to cut off flower heads as they pop out to early!
I think I may well try keeping mine inside over winter too - I've tried the cold frame but they didn't survive there either. 😕🌱
🙋🏻♀️New subscriber. Love these plants! 😊
Thank you so much 💚🌸
Love love your plant selection. May I ask where you ordered your plug plants from, Annette? I’ve ordered some bare roots from Farmer Gracie in the past, but not tried plug plants yet.
Thanks Elie. The plugs are from South Eastern Horticultural this time but I've also ordered plugs from JParkers in the past.
We had a very hot late March here (up to 30 C!), and my Echinaceas are already putting up flower stalks. Love that Veronica!
Wow! That is a VERY hot March! Yes, the Veronica looks a little white in the video, but in the garden s=it's such a pretty pale clear blue. 💙
Hi Annette . I have Oxalis purple it’s so easy to care outdoors rather than indoors I had in my garden ages come back ever year you don’t need to move them indoors .
Oh, thanks. That's so good to know! Happy to not have extra work in the autumn 🤣😊
I grow sedum Autumn Charm. They don't grow as big as Autumn Joy. I grew the Peacock Orchids last year and saved the corms. I can't leave them in the ground in my zone 5b garden. I started indoors and they don't bloom until August for me. Bonny
Hi Bonny..How's Canada? Are you warming up yet? Yes, my Peacock orchids bloom late in the season - August and September. They are so wonderfully refreshing at that time of year - nice to have a bit of white amongst all the vibrant late summer colours. 😁
@@cottoverdi Yes it's warming up here. Temps are to be in the 20C range this coming week. I just hope it stays that way finally. Happy gardening!
Start Friday with half hour of Annette and end with an hour of Monty . WONDERFUL . my oxalis stay out all year and just spread thro the rockery, I must say your plug plants are far more advanced than my supplier, much healthier roots and shoots
your supplier is not listed on you recommended list, maybe it's a lot m,ore thn one. Thanks HAPPY GARDENING
🌻💮
😊 Wow! You are too kind! Gosh. Thank you. So good to know we can keep the Oxalis outside all year. I got the bare roots and bulbs from Farmer Gracy and the plugs from South Eastern Horticultural. They really are excellent - I've never had a problem. BUT I hesitate to specifically recommend suppliers because it seems like other people have different experiences or sometimes different expectations...😬😁
I bought those peacock orchids this year from Aldi's. I thought I have to treat them as annuals so I didn't buy but only a bag and plant in a pot. Now that I know they survive down to minus I'll go get more. Thank you for letting us know. You got quite a few beautiful varieties there! I need some fillers for my beds. So I'll check on others you recommended. Thanks again. Great video!
So glad yo enjoyed the video - yes, the Peacock orchids are wonderful bulbs - so easy and eye-catching! 😁
Hi Annette. Gorgeous Echinacea flowers. I grew the basic Echinacea last year from seed to increase my stock. I love them 'en masse' I had Triangularis in pots on my lower patio, for several years, but a cold winter finished them off. We've had rain here today with sunshine. Have been a bit worried about my dahlias outside, but the shoots needed more light. Just debating buying some more varieties but I still have lots to pot up. Will I ever get them all done, as so busy with the flower and vegetable seedlings too. It seems to be be 24/7 at the moment. I bought Hosta Zebra stripe as a bare root earlier this year. Last year I bought White feather. They both look the same so I think I have been sent one variety that is wrong. I guess that's the problem with not buying plants in pots. The bonus to bare root is price, enabling more plants to collect at a reasonable budget 🙂 Ooh I didn't know the Gladiolus Murielae are scented, how fabulous.! Thank you Annette. I bought begonia non stop plugs as seeds grow so slowly- almost as slowly as Lisis, ha ha. I love Phlox paniculata. I have about 20 varieties now, in many different colours. So useful as cut flowers and a wonderful scent. I get my Salvia Amistad to go through the winter by mulching over the top with dry spent compost and covering with plastic or a cloche, the keep the ground dry underneath. I think I have a a similar climate/soil to you. Maybe give that a try? I have all my plug plants, received at the beginning of April, in cold frames. I have them fully open in the day and propped open at night as you do. It seems to work, doesn't it! Happy gardening 🙂 x
Thanks Be. We've had a horrible drizzly day here - you'll see it in my video tomorrow (rain-hair 😂). I had White Feather once - it was too pale for me - maybe I should have grown it with some other colourful plants but it was in a pot outside the front door and our walls are white so it just looked a bit insipid.
TWENTY phlox?!!! Now that is a collection I'd love to see! They are such pretty, long-flowering and useful plants - I wish I had more..I'd better start collecting 😁
Thank you so much for your advice on the Amistad - I will definitely be trying that this year - I'm so frustrated to always be losing them. I'm also going to take cuttings again and remember to water them this time 🤣
@@cottoverdi 🤣lol, it helps!
Hi Annette, could you tell me where you placed your orders? Great video. thank you. Tara😀
Thanks. I got the bare roots and bulbs from Farmer Gracy and the plug plants from South Eastern Horticultural. 😊
Oh Annette, how I wish you were in my gardening life when I was starting out as I made so many mistakes. I always grow Oxalis deppei Lucky Clover as I love the leaves. Our cheapo discount store sells the bulbs but I've not seen them this year so I'm hoping my old ones in pots will come back as they often do but I think all the rain we've had this year will have rotted them. I've never been successful with Salvia Amistad either Annette. What a great idea getting plug plants of it. I'm with you on the plug plants for economy and I really enjoy potting them on. I've always received ones in excellent condition from Brookside Nursery. Yours look healthy too. Please may I ask where you got them from?
Gosh, I've made so many mistakes too! That's how we learn, though 🤣 Glad to know I'm not the only one who struggles with Amistad (although, of course, sad that you have probs too Wendy). I just love the plant so much - it's pretty frustrating to keep losing it. I got the bare roots and bulbs from Farmer Gracy and the plug plants from South Eastern Horticultural. 💚
@@cottoverdi Thank you Annette. My sister-in-law swears by Farmer Gracy.

Where in the UK do you order your plug plants from?
Hi there, plugs were from South Eastern Horticultural this time but JParkers are also good.
