I love the colour of your geum totally tangerine I have this but the colour is much stronger it doesn't go with anything but it is growing in a shadier spot. Very pretty garden.
Great video. Good stuff. Always enjoy seeing your garden and your comments. Funnily enough our garden smashed by frost December two weeks minus but the cat mint going great guns.
Great to see the tour. Amazing how the cat mint hasn't returned. Shame to see the butia struggling. It's drier my side of the country so less fungus on my butias than yours. Hope yours recovers
Garden is looking good overall. A pity about your nepeta but it has been a harsh winter and a cool and wet spring which some plants have just not liked. Some of my phormiums are looking very poorly and will, I suspect, have to come out. Your geums are looking good and like you, I really like Totally Tangerine and have a few dotted around. They have done well this year and as you say, they like being damp. The ups and downs of the adventure of gardening!.
Thanks, My catmint is still very slow, I have discovered the years that most hebe’s will just die if we get anywhere -7 -8c. Out of them all the Albicans has proved hardy.
Lovely to see the progress, and the names of particular plants is especially helpful, as I need inspiration at the moment! I have to see about getting a Charles Ingram! Love when a new video pops up from you!
I love pyracantha,so good for the wildlife. Flowers will look lovely and give plenty to pollinators and in winter it has lovely berries which Robins and Blackbirds go mad for. 👍
Opposite here in SE Ireland, very dry hoping for more rain as I'm kind of in the rain shadow of mountains nearby. One of my catmints seems to be overly vigorous, it just keeps on getting bigger every year and suckering, which I dug up and now have in a pot, and that is enormous already and guzzling water.
Yes I have heard it can get it a bit out of control, I don’t have that problem this year. In years past it does need to be cut back mid summer and then it springs back up again.
@@mywalledgarden lol 😀yes you don't have that problem, well it isn't exactly going to cost you an arm an a leg to get a few new ones. I've grown a variety of white catmint this year too, I have mine about 10-15 metres away from some huge pine trees which really keeps the area dry, maybe you could add something around/near the catmint that'll suck up a bit of that excessive moisture, certainly not pine though as it'll shade your whole garden area. Or mix in some grit or sand to the area before planting. I'd like to have your problem to be quite honest as I want to plant wet plants like ligularia, but I dare not as it gets to dry in my clayey loam soil.
Greetings from N Ireland. Love your garden. Looks really good.
Lovely to see your garden again and listen to a fellow scouser, happy to see the cordyline survived. Regards from Ontario, Canada.
Thank you very much again for watching.
My mint has only just come up. Hope yours come through. Your shrubs are looking great
thanks, it has been a very unusual spring.
Thanks for sharing. Too bad about the catmint.
Looks good
Thank you for watching
The garden looks nice and green. Here we're waiting for rain 💦🤔
Thank you very much, Where is your garden?
I love the colour of your geum totally tangerine I have this but the colour is much stronger it doesn't go with anything but it is growing in a shadier spot. Very pretty garden.
Than you very much, I wonder if this would a little more shade as it likes a lot of water.

Thanks very much, I have no idea why one half of it coming up. I might replace if nothing by June.

thanks again, it’s a bit depressing the fungus issue, it hates the wet winters here but I know it is fine in many UK gardens.
managed to pick up some salvia Hotlips! saw them in your garden they are awesome
They are for sure and the hardiest.

Thank you very much for watching. gardening can give you some surprises. I thought the catmint could survive anything.
🤞🏻 for your catmint. Mines come up but 80% of my hebes haven't made it.

Yes, Omphalodes cappadocica 'Cherry Ingram' is a great plant. Thank you for watching.

Thanks very much. I often see a Robin or a blackbird sitting in the top of it.
