I agree with most of your other viewers Malcolm. The length is fine as the content is so enjoyable. I appreciate the time and effort put into these videos. I like your “droning” on and on! Keep up the good work! Greg
It would be lovely if you could show us a plant and how to propagate it. Last year You demonstrated crown bud propagation for delphiniums, although I have gardened for over 30 years I didn't know about this. You may recall I asked you why I had plenty of top growth but no roots...however since then I have repotted with good roots and they are now planted in the garden and so far growing well.......just waiting for the flowers. Your propagation demonstration showed detail, clarity and I was rather pleased it worked for me. More of this please, Graham, I trust your knowledge and love all the other contributors there, too. Best wishes Jill
Enjoyed today's episode, Tucker made me chuckle. Stones in the garden yep in Shap I have similar, garden enclosed by Drystone walls, but lots of others lurking beneath the grass (garden was a lambing paddock until we came along). May be visiting this 1/2 term the temptation to mention a loud radio is very strong but I'm too much the introvert, so won't. Fascinating and helpful regards the bluebells which I've always vaguely understood. But your simple illustrative explanation clarified things beautifully. Not sure I'd argue over a plant but taking from my basket could prove interesting lol Plenty of knob jokes, remember old Bill was a populist at heart albeit a 16thC populist, only time has made his work pompous. Look forward to next month's update. All the best Pete, in a gatden on a hill in Shap . Oh PS just to get a win for Shap my squirrels on the feeder are red haha
Thanks guys, you made me order 2 Daisy Whites, 1 Taylor's Sunburst, and 1 Acro-Yellow Norway Spruce. Not my usual plant orders but yours look so nice I couldn't help it.
You guys are absolutely hesterical!!!! I cant spell.....as you can see. Have been watching you guys over the lockdown. Would love to work at your nursery,but unfortunetly live in Ontario Canada. I worked in a nursery for 25+ years and we had lots of fun like you guys!!! Keep it up Sheila B
Hi all , I’ve been battling trying to reduce the Spanish bluebell from many a garden .two spades deep . I think they look ok but always in the wrong place
Yep they spread all over and the leaves go slimy like rotten spaghetti. I must’ve had a hybrid in last yard cuz leaves were narrowish and I’d often ask the “experts” WHY my foliage was so narrow and never got an answer before! THANKS, MALCOLM!!!
I bought a black lace elder about 5 years ago. It did great for the first 3 years. I really liked it, great colours, and I kept pruning it in spring to keep from getting too big. However last year it had died back alot after winter and this year it completely died back to the ground. I thought maybe voles had attacked the roots, but I read they normally only eat the berries and such. It was in full sun and in good soil with compost added. I'm still wondering why it died back. I will replace though, because of the great colour from both the leaves and blossoms. And it's very affordable.
Thank you Tim. It is interesting. RUclips have changed the ad settings....I suspect because the films seem to be getting a little more popular....and I don’t always know because once I’ve edited them I don’t watch them. I get sick of hearing myself drone on....and I sometimes have to go over and over the same footage to make sure it makes sense. I like to make some beer money from them, as they take a fair time to put together, but I never want the ads to become obtrusive.....once Sunniside is sorted with a new potting shed, the idea is to make growing plants easy, inexpensive, and fun to learn.....to take away some of the mystery, and visit some gardens etc....After September 26th I’ll have much more time. Best wishes....Malcolm
@@plantsmanscorner128 Thanks for the reply. The vids are pretty slick, especially considering that you don't review them after the edit! If you did a Patreon, you could earn some money outside of the fickle youtube ad system, although perhaps Patreon is fickle in its own way. I don't have any experience of Patreon myself, but I think it would also provide a forum for discussing content with fans and getting their thoughts and suggestions - although perhaps that is a Pandora's Box!! It was your tutorials that originally brought the channel to my attention, so I would enjoy some more of them - perhaps they could be slotted into your bi-weekly 'story' vids, in much the same way as the trip to Barthelemey's is a established segment? Anyway, not my place to say 'do this' or 'do that'; I just hope it doesn't get too tedious for you and if your vids appear in my feed every week to two, then I'll be happy!
Great video, lots of variety and a wonderful overview. If Thomas had been working in somebody else's garden, the owner would have a right to complain about a radio as I have done: but in all that space belonging to someone else - that man was wrong. What a worker 'young' Thomas! PS It's nice to see short regular videos, but this one is good.
Holy toledo! I suffered through a bunch of Nutrisystem horrible ads so you can enjoy a few beers but I could not tolerate Senator CharlesSchumer who is New York’s excrescence of a politician. I had to skip him asking for $. Sorry, just couldn’t do it. You must be getting more popular as your videos are the best thing around. ❤️💖💕👍🏼🌱
I’m not sure who that is Lauren.....if he’s a politician I don’t blame you......left/right, red/blue, male/female and all types in-between. They all piss in the same pot. I don’t know what ads they run and if the same everywhere....but if it was anything to do with religion or politics I’d be skipping it also. Skip away x.....Best wishes...Malcolm.
POLITICS!!! Thank you, I was feeling a bit guilty for skipping. I’m going to repeat your comment about them all pissing in the same pot. Excellent! I am learning about more than plants here...👍🏼🌱
We will give you an update next time Claire......I am amazed at his adaptation to having a pellet wedged in his head above the eye and the loss of a front leg.....but he’s doing fine so far....I think he’s used up a good bunch of his nine lives in this. Best wishes....Malcolm
@@petercresswell5402 She’s at Askham Bryan Peter...York campus. However she’s had a rough time over lockdown but is in good form right now. I think a lot of youngsters have struggled being locked up for a year or more.....there’s only so many ‘wonderful scenic walks’ you can do before it gets monotonous....especially with am]n old fart like me for company. 👨🌾
@@plantsmanscorner128 sorry I thought I heard mention she was attending Newton Rigg, obviously once part of York. Yes I have a 16 year old son who has just left Y11 it's been a very trying year, academically and outside of that his rugby and spending time with friends, He grew tired of being dad's garden labourer as top wheelbarrow pusher and sod stacker.
If you mean Monkshood Linda.....aconitum species.....then yes. Though I never worry as I don’t eat it.....It’s a beautiful plant. But if you have small children about or anyone else who might, then possibly not. I’ve always been of the opinion education is best....but that’s easy for those of us from very rural upbringings to say. But....just to turn the screw a bit more it is one of the deadliest poisons. I guess it’s a decision you have to make as to who might possibly ingest it......I’ve never known a dog or cat, and I’ve had lots, eat it.....but you can guarantee there will be someone somewhere that does or knows someone who did.....I’ve had it in my garden for 50 years but lots of nurseries and garden centres refuse to sell it..... I do not know where that philosophy ends really. There was a woman in my village when I was a child who knocked off her old man with it.Best wishes....Malcolm
Personal view. Your long format is top draw. If someone asked you NOT to spend a full hour enjoying Sunday lunch in the pub, but go to McDonald for 20 mins three times a week, what would you say ???
I rather like MacDonalds, but always seem to get some snotty faced child peering at me from the next seat......I don’t much like children but they seem to gravitate to me....it’s really annoying, they just seem to ignore grumpiness. Anyway, I’m digressing. You are quite right Tessa....I don’t think it would work actually as I seem increasingly prone to meander along....One of the greatest influences on my life apart from Geoffrey Smith was a bloke called Jack Hargreaves.....he made a programme called Out of Town.....I always liked of his style of presentation because it was unhurried and relaxed......I’ve tried to do some quick fire fact based smiley smiley sequences.....and to be honest it looks and feels ridiculous. The good thing is I’m sure there are plenty of videos out there for those that like that style. I just can’t do it. Also it feels contrived.....in all the years we’ve been doing these I don’t think there’s ever been anything reshot....it’s always been one take, by whoever’s handy at the time, and if you bollocks it up that goes in as well....or just gets cut out. There’s simply too much to do running the nurseries than fart about repeating things......so I think they’ll have to stay long......RUclips like putting start and end ads on....we only have one of each I suppose. It’s also nice to feel a personal relationship with our viewers.....they know us now and if it’s too professional it just (to me) feels less human so consequently less personal. I hope that makes some sense. Best wishes and thank you for your comment. Malcolm
@@plantsmanscorner128 Well! Now you’ve sent me down a fantastic rabbit hole. I looked and found a couple of people have put up a ton of Jack Hargreaves programs! I guess you can buy them as DVDs or an Amazon link, but I’ll watch the ones that are there for free first. Here is one with some nice footage of an interview he did on his programs and his retirement plans: ruclips.net/video/khulLKb3Jkw/видео.html
@@plantsmanscorner128 Well, theyre like a bookmark essentially. So people can pick out the parts of the video they are interested in, focus on certain plants etc.
RUclips doesn't give a damn about the creator or the viewer; the only thing they care about is money. Sad really; I've stopped watching quite a few channels because they've become RUclips's bitches. Just stay you Malcolm; please.
The Drone footage was a magnificent extravagant presentation from Richmond Jemison.
I agree with most of your other viewers Malcolm. The length is fine as the content is so enjoyable. I appreciate the time and effort put into these videos. I like your “droning” on and on!

Don't change a thing - it's my treat of the week and `i never want it to end!!!!!!!!
Great video, but we need a update on Clara's Loki. Hope all well. XXX

Love these videos, I always learn so much & thoroughly enjoy them. X
Simply beautiful. Most enjoyable hour of my week. Thank
I especially enjoy the way you seem to be able to avoid those customers doddering around Eggleston. Good job!
Thanks for the tour Malcolm, such a beautiful time of year. I have been gardening many, many years but still lots to learn. Cheers all!
Thanks guys, you made me order 2 Daisy Whites, 1 Taylor's Sunburst, and 1 Acro-Yellow Norway Spruce. Not my usual plant orders but yours look so nice I couldn't help it.
In my previous comment I forgot to mention that I live in USA. I am in zone 7 Long Island, NY 11713. Love your videos..
Everything's looking great, lovely vlog, thanks again, take care everyone. 💐💐👍
Keep them just as they are Malcolm - an hour is great and never mind what RUclips says

Thanks Malcolm, there are some wonderful flowers despite the harsh weather.
Bring back once a week video. Great stuff
I prefer geraniums to Roses. Lovely look around the nursery.. Thank you. 🪴
Great info. on the bluebells--learned a lot.
I've watched this and everything is right with the world now, thanks.

I like the longer episodes and I enjoy getting lost in them for their duration, Malcolm. That said, shorter videos wouldn't stop me from watching.

Love Seasalt Cornwall & I live in New York! So happy you gave them a shout out. Hope Loki is on the mend! Retirement countdown start yet?!
sempre interessante. Bravi!
stay well, thanks for the video.
Wonderful!!!! I hate when the videos end .....

33:05 Looks like Clara's been practicing. Well done Clara!
The music in the beginning...reminds me of a track from Octopus’ Garden in the Shade but not quite! So what is it, please?
Dare we ask how Clara's cat has fared??
We will give you an update next time Claire......I am amazed at his adaptation to having a pellet wedged in his head above the eye and the loss of a front leg.....but he’s doing fine so far....I think he’s used up a good bunch of his nine lives in this. Best wishes....Malcolm
Glad to hear, also wondered what's happened to Clara's horticultural studies with the closure of Newton Rigg, hope all is well.

Nice crackle on the fire. 1:09 is a big chunk but you should do what's best for you.
Get someone in paint the potting shed or pollytunnel and the first thing they do is put on a fucking radio.
I know what you mean Den.
Replace the Paris quadrifolia with the P. japonica ;)
Some customers can be complete numptys
