I think the plant is a white Hebe. I have never dug up dahlia tubers and they have made it through the last few harsh winters. I just cover in leaves (about a foot deep) and an upside down planter/pot. They have always been fine.
Your flowering shrub that has purple flowers that fade to white is a hebe, I'm from New Zealand which is where the hebe is a native! They come in a huge variety of sizes and leaf shapes and can be clipped/pruned into shape over winter - hope this helps!
You have made me totally fall in love with Erigeron! What an absolutely dainty and incredible plant. I'm trying to get some started from seed this year around a brick pathway in my garden, but they really do shine among your stone steps!
Hi there ! A message from a french viewer , the shrub is definily an HEBE , and the melon a CHARENTAIS , this is a french variety from the region ' Charente' ( approximately around La Rochelle in the south west of France ) , it's known here to be one of the best variety ... Thank you for your videos , quite inspiring as I also garden in a cottage garden in Normandy .... Congratulations ! Laurent
I love your way of gardening. there is hope for simple everyday gardeners who do not try to do Instagram worthy gardens but simply enjoy being our there and getting their hands dirty. thanks
Your videos are so very lovely and soothing to me. You have such a sweet spirit. Thank you for sharing your various gardens with us. I could wander around your gardens and listen to you talk all day. ☺️
It all looks so beautiful it's really starting to look established 😊 great idea using a hessian bag with comfrey I'll try that, btw that shrub I'm pretty sure is a Hebe I have a couple in my garden
I had erigeron in the front garden which we had to remove because we were having the wall replaced, it has however now spread around most of the rest of the street so hope the neighbours don't mind! I had the same experience with dahlia, didn't lift them from the front garden and they've all come back as has a quite tender salvia - I think it probably depends on drainage.
I'm up in Glasgow and there is a 15+ year wait for allotments. So, while we're saving for our first home, I live vicariously through my Mum's gardening on the west coast of Canada. To ensure her courgettes and cucumbers produce, she uses a makeup brush to pollinate, just in case the pollinators don't make it all the way into your poly-tunnel, might be useful! Love your channel xx
Hi Ramona, everywhere looks really beautiful. I love that you have shared flowers and plants from neighbours and family, it really does remind you of them when walking around the garden - Hope you are all well, Julie X ❤🥰🌻🌼🦋
Great to see all the progress you've made and a good idea to look back and realise how much plants have developed in 2-3 seasons! I think your shrub at 7:00 is a Hebe. We have one too which puts on an amazing display in early July and then gives another smaller flowering in winter which is quite wierd! It does appreciate a bit of a prune back after the summer flowers have finished and will be doing ours soon.
So lovely, I leave the clover as well. Right now we have what we in the states call Queen Ann's Lace blooming, it looks a lot like the flower of a carrot. My front yard is full of blooms. I vote keep the forget - me - not, they'll be really lovely blooming in front of your gray wall, yes I remember the steps, it was just beautiful.
Queen Anne's Lace is called cow parsley in the U.K. lol. It is not native - originally from Afghanistan to the Mediterranean then brought to North America as a medicinal herb. It was used to treat wounds on soldiers during the Civil War and relieves cramping among other uses. Excellent pollinator plant!
The shrub with pretty white flowers is a hebe :) there are lots of them where i am in NZ they are very hardy plants i have a couple in my garden love them
The best philosophy in life is to keep mind happy 💅.precisely your place not only eye acting beautiful!al flowers garden and also tranquility ambience prevailing every where 👏.Eventually God’s most beautiful gift on Earth 🙏🇮🇳.
Regardless of dahlia tuber I have 50 to70 different kids I always plant mine 4 inch deep and 1 inch of mulch through out most the year until freezing temps come then add another inch of mulch never had one rot on me yet. Probly died do to shock from being lifted then stored to cold
I try and do feed Friday but sometimes I forget that it Friday the comfy tea bag is a great idea I think the forgot me not should say there a lovely colour
0:46 I always long for bright overcast when I do garden photos, much better than the glaring shadows and overexposures from strong , shining sun. 5:45 Yes, I repotted my 5 years of age Souvenier de la Malmaison rose into a massive pot last year into Miracle Gro potting mix, a big name here in the USA, they have downgraded the quality, and my rose that has never, in 5 years had powdery mildew was all last summer covered with it, it started up again this springtime as soon as I got her out of the cold room where she spends the winter, and set her out of doors. This springtime I doused her with a stong vinegar solution, her new growth appears to have no mildew, next attempt involves potassium bicarbonate solution. It's not that we are vain and proud, it's just that we are so joyous when our plants thrive, that we want to show the world, and when things go badly, we turn away in disgust, we don't want to look at it, much less show the world. So we get it out of our sight and seek remedies. 6:50 Looks like clethra?? 8:19 your floriferous yard looks MUCH better than weed killer, expanses of green boredom. 10:00 I am guessing that if you would dry those hollyhock flowers, that you could use them to give a super, amethyst purple to teas, gelatin esserts etc. The usual for tea is hibiscus because of it's tart quality, but I am thinking that your hollyhock flowers would be a quite useful and fascinating food color. Then is you experiment by addin tiny amounts of acid (vinegar or lemon) that you could get some beautiful effects 4:45 Yes, Lst year I grew Charentais {pronounced shar ent tye )and also Sugar Cube melons. The charentais were disappointing, but edible , the sugar cube was exactly that, syrupy sweet. This year I am growing from the seeds of sugar cube. 21:30 Very nice, thank you for showing us!😍😍.
Thank you for this lovely video. Lots learned from it. I make comfrey tea, but have never tried your method. Absolutely love what you did and will give it a try. I also agree about your plant being a Hebe.
Possibly a hebe for the mystery plant. Most of my Erigeron died over winter too, along with salvias and penstemons. I think it was the extended period of cold that was the problem.
Have you seen the movie/ documentary, The Earthing Movie? I am watching it and it made me think of you because it mentions how helpful earthing or also called grounding, can be for people with autism. If you have not already seen it, please try to find it and give it a watch. I could be wrong, but I feel like most of the videos I have seen of yours show you wearing shoes outside. I just wanted to share that with you.
I always see that erigeron daisy plant in cottage garden pictures in books but have never known the name of it until now, i looked it up to try and find where to buy it and iv found it is not allowed to be sold in NZ! :( I love it on your stone steps
Здравствуйте. Меня зовут Лена. Расскажите, пожалуйста, подробнее про компостные ямы. Видела, Вы сажаете на них цветы потом. Очень понравилась идея. Но я плохо понимаю Английский на слух. Вот если бы у ролика были титры - было бы здорово. Читаю на Английском я хорошо. Спасибо Вам за красоту.
The about section says your name and then "sharing life from their cottage.." Does that refer to you and a partner or is "their" a pronoun? Just so I understand properly.

I agree re Hebe, we have this.
Yes it is
I was gonna say Hebe too
Virginia Sweetspire?
What zone are you in?
Your flowering shrub that has purple flowers that fade to white is a hebe, I'm from New Zealand which is where the hebe is a native! They come in a huge variety of sizes and leaf shapes and can be clipped/pruned into shape over winter - hope this helps!
Banksia !! Little Bottle Brush Flowers.. Asparagus prehaps Lizards or smaller. Comfry. makes Ointment for Bruises.
Believe your mystery plant is Summersweet (also known as Clethra). Enjoy your videos! Look forward to the next one!
You have made me totally fall in love with Erigeron! What an absolutely dainty and incredible plant. I'm trying to get some started from seed this year around a brick pathway in my garden, but they really do shine among your stone steps!
That sounds lovely! It’s such a great and easy plant isn’t it? We just got a new purple one too. Can’t get enough!
Same never even heard of it before.
You are very good at this ,keep it up. Your garden tours are so enchanting.
07:09 is a Hebe.
It's lovely to see what you're doing 😊
Of all the flowers in your garden, you are the prettiest

Such a lovely garden tour! I've had the worst luck trying to grow tomatoes, but I also live in an extremely hot area.
I love your way of gardening. there is hope for simple everyday gardeners who do not try to do Instagram worthy gardens but simply enjoy being our there and getting their hands dirty. thanks
Love your down to earth approach to gardening. I too have left Clover, Self Heal and Yarrow in the lawn for the insects. I just did it intuitively. 😊
Your videos are so very lovely and soothing to me. You have such a sweet spirit. Thank you for sharing your various gardens with us. I could wander around your gardens and listen to you talk all day. ☺️

Those Lavenders are truly gorgeous... 😍 😍 😍 And your garden is beautiful... Congratulations...Monalogue.
amazingly beautiful July Cottage Garden tour! very rewarding to watch your garden with lots of blooming flowers have a great day

I adore your kindness to those whte cabbage butterflies... I agree with you.. they fly very gracefully
6:59 White bottlebrush maybe?
Nice.
maybe a “fothergilla”.. the plant with white blooms. I have 2 in my landscape.
Hi- loved the garden tour. The plant that you asked about is most definitely a hebe. enjoy. Max (New Zealand).
Hi Ramona, everywhere looks really beautiful. I love that you have shared flowers and plants from neighbours and family, it really does remind you of them when walking around the garden - Hope you are all well, Julie X ❤🥰🌻🌼🦋
Love your videos, can’t wait until I have a garden of my own!
Those cosmos I've seen go by two names, Xanthos and Lemonade. 💛
Great to see all the progress you've made and a good idea to look back and realise how much plants have developed in 2-3 seasons!

@@sherriianiro747
Yes, I watched a video some time ago talking about the medicinal value of the herb.
Love your garden,very enchanting 💛🌻🦋
Plant looks like a Hebe, which are native to New Zealand
Yes a Hebe ,I love them. But we are into native plants ,we are in Australia. I think your garden is lovely.
yes please keep the forget me nots in for next spring by the erigerons, thank you!!!!
The shrub with pretty white flowers is a hebe :) there are lots of them where i am in NZ they are very hardy plants i have a couple in my garden love them

Just to confuse further, I have a shrub that looks exactly like that. Mine is called a ‘Zanzibar Gem’ 🙃
Lovely! What are the light colored plants (variegated or silver cannot tell) on either side of the Nepeta?@ minute5:19? Thank you.
Beautiful video!
Your garden is so peaceful and beautiful,
I’m in Essex and i lost 90% of my Erigeron this year. It was definitely due to the snow/frosts we had last winter.
I do love a walk through your garden...Thank you for sharing.
Наслаждение быть с вами, спасибо за ваш канал спасибо за ваш труд спасибо за вашу красоту очень красиво😊

...also, whilst the Americans refer to flag iris as invasive it is native to us (uk)
Beautiful, beautiful garden! My cosmos “Xanthos” look similar to your ones… happy gardening from Hamburg!
Thank you for this lovely video. Lots learned from it. I make comfrey tea, but have never tried your method. Absolutely love what you did and will give it a try. I also agree about your plant being a Hebe.
Get some papaver popeys they'd be a perfect addition to your garden
Gorgeous. Underplanting with alyssum and arugula might help draw more pollinators into the polytunnel, if those plants work for your climate.
a very beautiful garden❤
Possibly a hebe for the mystery plant. Most of my Erigeron died over winter too, along with salvias and penstemons. I think it was the extended period of cold that was the problem.

My app says the purple flower that goes to white is a Veronicatrum (Culver’s root)
I think the plant after the pond is a Hebe. I have one in my garden. They come in different colours I think.
Your unidentified plant looks like Culver's Root, Veronicastrum virginicum. It's native to the US (East of the Rocky Mountains).
The cosmos are either sunset yellow or xanthos and the shrub is a hebe
I also let my cabbage butterflies be here in southern California.
I always see that erigeron daisy plant in cottage garden pictures in books but have never known the name of it until now, i looked it up to try and find where to buy it and iv found it is not allowed to be sold in NZ! :( I love it on your stone steps
Beautiful. Where do you get those bins for the comfrey tea?
Any kind of water butt will suffice.
Cosmos is called Lemonade
Would the cosmos be apricot lemonade?
Здравствуйте. Меня зовут Лена. Расскажите, пожалуйста, подробнее про компостные ямы. Видела, Вы сажаете на них цветы потом. Очень понравилась идея. Но я плохо понимаю Английский на слух. Вот если бы у ролика были титры - было бы здорово. Читаю на Английском я хорошо. Спасибо Вам за красоту.
❤
The plant definitely looks like a hebe.
The pond needs rocks that animals can use to climb out.
Veronica salicifolia?
White shrub is hebe
The about section says your name and then "sharing life from their cottage.." Does that refer to you and a partner or is "their" a pronoun? Just so I understand properly.
Im sure that i saw an early video of her and her husbands wedding
First!
It’s a New Zealand Hebe. 🫶🏼
