I just love the way John gets on with his garden ... there's no fussing about ... he sees something needs work and gets right to it ... so pleased I came across these videos... entertaining and informative... thank you John ...
Lol! I guess temperate is all relative. I grew up in the deep south where it is far too hot for me. Live now in the PacNW, which is also, mostly, a temperate climate, but we are getting more periods of high heat and drought in the summer and, right now, there is no cutting back because everything is still covered with snow from last week's storms. Haven't been able to get down my steep driveway in over a week, but maybe today. Ireland sounds pretty darn great to me. :) You have the perfect solution to hand for any plants you can't fit back into your borders, divide and pot them up and either sell them or offer them as a bonus with another purchase, maybe? Question, my southern magnolia snapped off in the top third of the trunk from the weight of snow and ice. I am doubtful it will really recover from that to be nicely shaped again, but thought I would ask your advice, please. P.s. hope your dog is doing great and just hiding out till it warms up more.
Thanks very helpful :) wondering if you know anything about willow (not weeping) not sure what variety though but is it ok to have it in a medium sized garden and when should it be pruned....any advice would be welcome.
Yes it will be ok in a medium sized garden. You can prune it as hard as you want if necessary. Willows will always come back. And you can prune in winter.
John Lord's Garden thanks for replying, I have asked on gardening channels before but never had a reply so I really appreciate your answer....I can stop worrying about it now then haha. Cheers 😃
michael gray err - nope, unfortunately I’m not clever enough to write much, the only “writing” I do is via the comments section of RUclips and the odd shopping list - haha - 😁 wondering - did you intend that question for “John Lord’s Secret Garden” rather than me?
I love your gardening style. If you can’t kick the hell out of it then stick a power tool on it😂.

Thanks for your garden smarts that make us feel like we can do what you do! And you're hilarious to boot! Please keep videos coming!
I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, have been watching your videos everyday since. Love them all!
I'm anxious to see your gardens this Summer in their full glory!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Yes, this is a good time of year to evaluate what worked last year and what didn’t. Thanks for sharing your perennial garden. 🌾🌾🌾

First of all I wanted to thank you for the huge favor you give us for giving a little of your talent and dedication and may God bless you
Damn dog that can't read! So good to have you back. Brighten things up for us in Sweden who still have a few months before starting in earnest.
your videos lift my spirits in the winter!
Good God. I can't get enough. You've got a big fan in Wisconsin, USA.
So glad to have you back, you are inspiring me to get back out there.
So many good tips in this video.

Love this. So interesting. Would like to know if they compost any plant material. I haven't heard any video on composting...
Yay! You haven't posted in ages!
Best plants, shrubs and trees for late winter early spring colour
Plants are so smart.
They get us humans to spread them hither and yon.

Great left foot! ⚽️
Mad as a stick !
Haha! Its called personality! Lets have more of it! :)
No TLC with your plants, eh John? Kick them about; rip them out; dump them upside down. Your plants must love you!
convinth plants are not as delicate as we think. In nature cows and other large animals stomp all over them!
Temperate climate if you are a sheep or a cow. Lol. Hilarious.
