Hi Janette … not sure how I missed this video but I did! … your garden looks lovely … so nice to to see the green and blues and fill in with the early flowering spring daffs etc … it’s so nice to walk around the garden to see what’s coming through .. I did such a lot in my garden last year so I am looking forward to seeing what it’s like this year . Keep your bunting up.. it’s lovely, cheers you up in the colder days. Roll on spring Janette
Hello there Gill and thank you so much - and a big 👍 for voting for the bunting 😂 he hasn’t mentioned it since so I’m hoping he has bigger things on his mind 😂 so glad it’s Friday, and so glad it’s the last weekend of winter 🎉🎉 sounds like you did do a lot last year so I can understand that makes it more exciting to see things happening this year. Have a fabulous weekend 🥰
Hello there Richard, I’m guessing you must be somewhere in the States as it’s now your morning? Thank you for joining me in my garden today. Last week of winter coming up, we’ve had terrible weather this past week, snow even on Wednesday but thankfully it didn’t stick around longer than a day. Wishing you a very happy Sunday 🥰
Hi Janette, I'm thinking 3 degrees sounds pretty nice. It's been 34 degrees here today which was at least better than yesterday's 37. Autumn in Australia starts on 1st March but we haven't said goodbye to the heat yet. Not so lovely and definitely no gardening. Your garden is looking great all ready to burst into life. You've done so much work already. Sad about the losses of Winter but so exciting to see the daffodils and all the new shoots that Spring brings. All your new blue little ones are looking so good. I don't know how you remember all those names. I'll love watching them grow. Glad you liked the look of my Jeffersred maple. If it looks like the pictures on the Internet as Winter approaches I'll be so happy. Hope you and Richard have a lovely week. Love Bron xx
Oh Bron I cannot imagine what 37 feels like, I’m not surprised there’s no gardening on those days. Today it’s another grim rainy windy and cold day here, but clocks change in a few weeks so hopefully the weather will too! Have a happy day down under (from me up over 😂) 🥰
What a fabulous intro!!! Your garden is looking quite lovely. Here in the US, we pronounce chamaecyparis this way: cammie sipa ris. After a short warm spell, we are back to more chilly temps. Last Friday, we had a very freak and terrifying wind storm with wind gusts up to 80 miles per hour which uprooted many large, old trees all over town, taking electric lines down with them. My electricity came back on last night but there are still some homes without. The wind stripped the petals off my crocuses, bloodroot and a few others but really didn’t seem to harm any other tender vegetation such as daffodils and tulips, thank goodness. When the internet came back up, I was thrilled to see that you had posted a new video - I do enjoy seeing how your garden is doing. 💚 Oh, I love the bunting! Keep it!
Hello JC and thank you for telling me the pronunciation, I’m going to try and remember that, I was overcomplicating things 😂 but oh my goodness, your terrible storm sounds dreadful, I’m so sorry to hear that, all those beautiful old trees and your plants! It’s scary how devastating the weather can be isn’t it? I hope everything calms down for you all, I really do. Thanks for loving my garden - and in particular my bunting 🎉🎉 I’m going to ignore him … he must have been having a bad day 😂 we had snow yesterday, was supposed to get more last night but I’m pleased to say there’s none when I’ve looked out this morning. Here’s wishing you a wonderful rest of the week, and some good weather for you 🥰
Hello Eunice, that’s my favourite one too, it’s called Hoopsii. I hope they continue to thrive. I’ll do my best to look after them. Hope you’re doing ok 🥰
Lovely garden, I especially like the topiary trees. You put alot of work in your garden and it shows. Can't wait till your bulbs flower! Thank you for sharing
Oh that is so nice of you C Dixon, I have been busy past couple of weekends, but really I only ever garden once a week at weekends (if it’s not raining) this time of year as I’m at work all week. But will be lovely when the clocks change end of this month so it will be light for a while when I get home. I love it too when the bulbs come out 🥰
Hi Janette, thanks for the March tour. Your blues look like they are in just the right places! You’ve got the bones of the garden all ready so now to look forward to Spring blooms. I wish I could have tulips in the ground but the pesky squirrels did them up. I have to put mine in pots but still they are a sight to behold. Won’t be too long now 😊. X
Oh thank you Sue. I love my new blues. How annoying those squirrels are, I noticed a few holes here and there too. And they run across the fence and make my dogs bark 😂😂🥰
Hello Julie, thank you so much, I have had a couple of busy Sunday mornings weeding and pruning and transplanting, absolutely love doing it but I can’t wait for some warmth finally. Hope you’re ok 🥰
All of your new plants look so nice and so does the garden! I can't wait to get outside to plant. Our weather is so crazy, 73 and sunny yesterday and today is freezing! Snow and ice on Friday! 😒 My Red Plum trees are almost in full bloom also. I'm sure they'll be gone by the freeze. Oh well, Spring is on it's way, right? Have a great week! 😊
Oh no Peggy your poor red plums. Fingers crossed 🤞 they’ll be ok. We are supposed to get snow now as well. How annoying, where is some warm weather … please!! 🥰
Hello Judy, thanks for coming over all the way from Alabama. Isn’t it amazing how we can all so easily connect from across the world 🌎 so lovely to chat with you.
Janette, Greetings from New Jersey U.S. Zone 7a. Shore coast. Happy to have found your channel. Love your sense of garden style. Binge watching past videos, your witty banter with Richard had me in stitches. Well done!
Hello Wendy and thank you so much for coming over to join me and Richard, it’s so lovely to have a new gardening friend 🥰 New Jersey too!! Isn’t it amazing how we can all so easily connect around the world 🌎 it’s been snowing, raining and windy all this week so now very Springlike at all, and cold! But at least it’s Friday and I’m looking forward to the weekend, even if I can’t get outside to do much. Take care and lovely chatting to you 🥰
We need Carnival Corner...! I love all the specimens you chose and where you placed them. It looks so good and I can't wait to get some blue into my garden too. Your garden looks great for March - here in zone 6 PA/USA it's all gray. Everything is gray. But we hear the birds and some of the trees are starting to bud...there is hope. Thx Janette :)
Hello Deborah, that’s 2 of us then who love carnival corner 😂 so it’s 2 against 1 😂😂 we will just ignore his request! Glad if I’ve inspired you to add blue too. Hopefully mine will “blue up” a bit more too when the sun finally decides to join us. It snowed here today and we expect more tonight. It can’t be much longer Deborah and our gardens will be less grey and more colourful. Always lovely to chat to you 🥰
Was just thinking what a desolate look a garden has end of winter, when I read the comments of others. 'looking great' 'looks lovely' is what I read. I'm So amazed. It will be great in a few months time, though :)
😂😂 you made me smile there Garden Joy because, yes, everyone is so encouraging and lovely about my bare patches and twigs it’s true 😂 won’t be long and we’ll have a bit more lushness to enjoy 🤞 have a great week 🥰
It's all looking fabulous in your garden, well done Janette I love the new blue additions & yes it will soon be Spring oh we can't wait can we?! goodbye winter haha the forecast may be snow later this week for us in North Yorkshire but today was glorious with blue skies and sun, my greenhouse was 28 degrees this afternoon my seedlings are dancing:) Enjoy your garden, all your hard work shows x
Aww thank you, what a lovely comment. Well it’s very cold down in Essex and supposed to snow tonight too!! Can’t wait for some nice warmer weather, soon please 🙏🥰 have a great rest of the week 😊
Hello, Janette! Your story about the slug pellets and your pup made me 🤣🤣🤣. My dogs like to eat the organic fertilizer I use. I have to keep a sharp eye out because they’ll even dig newly planted things up to get to the fertilizer. Everything looks pretty and just waiting to spring into growth!
Hello Dawn, I once made the mistake of putting blood fish & bonemeal down in new planting holes and my little boy dog (this was years ago) dug it all up and all my new plants I had just put in 😂 yes we have to watch what we use don’t we? Hope you’re doing ok and looking forward to Spring 🥰
Good morning Janette, the blues look beautiful and the olive tree is looking so good. I'm envious my garden wont look like yours until May. Everything looks gorgeous.
Hello Adra - thank you so much, but May is only really a matter of weeks away 😊 can’t wait for some warmth and sunshine now ☀️ hope you’re having a great day 😍
Well Jasmine thank you so much. Soon be able to be outside more when the clocks change, I’m looking forward to sitting outside for an hour after work, that will be fabulous 🥰
Morning Jeanette 😊you’ve been working hard in your garden again 👍👍 My hebes didn’t do well after the snow we had this winter and I’m wondering if I should pull them all out !
Hello Susan, I am seriously considering doing that too. I think I will wait another couple of weeks just in case. 🥶 it’s too cold isn’t it? I’m fed up with it now 😂🥰
Hello J. Wow you are so lucky to have spring already.. it's -12 this morning. Your ferns are looking amazing. Love ferns. Amazing tour.. I always enjoy your tours We have tons of hostas... I cut them back and trade them Hmmm slugs... We have them but not that bad. . Lol I move things around so many times. . LMAO.. hospital corner.. I love that red Robin!!!! Very tidy!!! You have been busy... Richard will be golfing already!!! Love the olive tree and your mirror
Hello Chris, 🥶 -12 goodness me, and I’m complaining about my 37 😊 I love those ferns too, and I’m going to see if I can find some of those blue hostas with the thick leaves. Give those a try I think. I’m so pleased with the red Robin, I think that’s going to look beautiful very soon. So great (always) to chat with you xx🥰
Hi. I see you managed to straighten up the wonky tree. It all looks great. I still have a few box wood plants so I am keeping an eye out of caterpillars!! Love the Red Robin you have. ❤️
Hello Pauline and yes, you remembered!! 😊 I did straighten the wonky tree, I forgot to say that. I love that one. I think the box tree caterpillars start around March time, but I sincerely hope you’ll be alright. I loved my boxwoods, such great plants aren’t they? I’m loving the Photinia too, can’t wait to see what that does 🥰 wishing you a great week 🥰
Looking good Janette! I too have several shrubs to move but we have a yellow weather warning for snow and ice so holding off this week. Our big project this year is a new pond so busy time ahead. Thank you for sharing your lovely garden with us 😊
Hello Pamela, good idea to hold off, I was fortunate it was quite nice when I did mine. I have woken up to … snow!! And it’s still falling! Where is our warm weather??! A pond! That’s a really exciting project, good luck with that 🥰
It looks so fresh & pretty! You have done a lot of work. I love the choices of blues in your garden. They make a big difference. So cheerful! Today I started mulching my flower beds. That is hard work lifting those bags & its 80 degrees today. Way too hot for this time of year here in middle GA/U.S. Everything needs watering but we are supposed to get rain this Friday so I may hold off.
Goodness me Lindy Lou, you have 80 degrees! And mulching in that must be exhausting. But what a good job to get done. It’s still cold here and we are supposed to get snow tonight so totally different to what you’re having. Thank you for always watching my videos, I so appreciate it my friend 🥰
Oh Karyn thank you, that’s so nice of you. If I could choose a different shaped garden, I’d love to have one where you can’t see everything all at once from the back door (which I do, pretty much), as I think it’s lovely to discover hidden things as you walk round. Hope you have a lovely rest of the week 🥰
Hello Cheryl, thank you! I have been out there a few hours over the last 2 weekends and thing I’m most pleased about is that I’ve almost got rid of all the autumn leaves. Endless job. Hope you’re ok, hope you can get out into yours soon 🥰
Hi there Lil, I’m over the yukka already, out of sight out of mind I’m afraid in my garden 😂 roll on Spring indeed, we need some lovely warm weather soon … please! 🥰
Good morning Davena, it’s beginning to come to life but oh still so cold 🥶 can’t be much longer before we get some much anticipated sunshine … please 🙏 🥰 have a fabulous day 🥰
You busy bee. Your garden looks lovely and full of promise ❤️. I know how you feel about spring, I get so excited about it, but this week's weather is a bit of a downer, I must say 🥶. But it's March, so we're getting there. Thanks for a lovely spring video, Janette, and have a great week.
Everything in your garden is looking Awesome and yes Spring is in the air ... I am so excited to get out in my yard .... I have recently taken out another tree which opened up all kinds of possibilities ... Yes soooo exciting ... !!!
Ooh that does sound exciting Shirlene, sounds like you’ve been very busy outside already this year. I cannot wait for some warmth, it feels like it’s been forever! Have a lovely rest of the week 🥰
Thank you Janette for the tour of ur garden! We just had a snow storm n will get another one next week so it is such an encouragement to see ur enchanting garden! 😁Lottie isn’t helping u much in the garden to keep the slugs away is she?😂
Hi there Mary, so many people have told me they’re having more snow!! 🥶 I hope it warms up soon for you then you can get outside again. Cold here today with a bit of sleet and lots of wind. Can’t be much longer 🥰
Good morning and thank you so much MissPrettyPlants 😊 I’m really happy with my new blues 😊 so glad we are finally in the last week of winter 🎉 hope you’re ok 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener that’s so exciting! we are still under snow so will be another month or so for us to see the bulbs in action! I’m excited seeing yours and your new blues 💙
Oh Lady Rider (love your name) thank you for voting for the bunting!! We need to keep carnival corner. I’ll send him off to golf and he’ll probably forget about it 😂 or give him some jobs to do to keep his mind off it 😊🥰
@The Enthusiastic Gardener I like your style! Always work to be done in the garden. I have a motorbike related channel but am a keen gardener. 🤣 hence the Lady J Rider. Lets hope we're gonna be fast tracking to spring now. 🤩 LJ
I do like where you planted the new..."ever blues", you've done a wonderful job getting ready for spring to burst. I'm heading to my seed sowing room now, I should have started after watching Janey, then seen Jeanette was here too 😊 I vote the bunting stays.
😂😂 that sounds very familiar, I get sucked into watching one garden RUclipsr after another too 😊 we’ll done for your seed sowing, I haven’t done any yet! Waiting for end of March I think then I might try on heat mats in my little greenhouse 🤞 I love my “ever blues” 🥰 I’m with you on the bunting 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Just taking a yogurt break. I'm trying to be better about checking days to germinate, I'm bad about that. Anxious I guess 🙄 I plant in soil blocks, in a tray, I just had to remove some sunflowers that, beyond belief, germinated in 3 days, as did 3 cosmos. Pulled those to their own tray.
Janette, your garden is really coming to life, everything looks so promising. You have been really busy moving and trimming things, you are really on top of things🫶🙌. Tell Richard the bunting stays up for a little while longer, it’s so festive 😉. I wish I can do some chores but we are expecting snow this late in winter, the ground is still hard😣. My poor bulbs are so confused 😂. You gave my inspiration to dream of spring ❤
Hello Elizabeth and thank you! I have done all my moving around now, I think, we had snow last Wednesday but it only stayed round for one day so was ok, even my daffodils survived even though they got frozen solid, so I was amazed about that. I’m with you on the bunting 😂 he hasn’t mentioned it since so I’m ignoring that comment 😂 I hope you get some better weather soon. Spring next Monday!!! Hallelujah 🎉🎉😆😎🥰
Yes spring next Monday 🤩🤩💕. Old man winter is not done with either of us is he❄️☃️. Have a great week and looking forward to your bulbs sprouting, you planted a ton🌷
Hi Janette, lovely when the garden comes into life, iv been out doing tidy up, but guess what we have snow coming just hope the things that iv moved are OK, your gardens looking great 👍 👌 😀
Hi there Helen and so many people have told me they have (or are about to have) more snow!! It feels like this cold weather is going on forever doesn’t it? Let’s hope it warms up soon now, I’ve had enough of it 😂😂🥰
Your zone 8 looks so fresh and Spring like. The new blues are stunning. Everything looks so edited and ready for a lunch outside to watch the daffs bloom and tulips . It is so exciting !!! We are still showing snow flurries early mornings yet it warms into 50 degrees Fahrenheit 10 C in your area. Not too bad for us this winter im just impatient 😊have a great week!
Hi Teresa, I think we have quite similar weather a lot of the time. Too cold for lunch outside though 🥶 can’t be much longer and you’ll be back out boating on the West Fork. Happy days 🥰😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Janette indeed April one it goes on the lake !! I’ll put coat and gloves if need be on a sunny cold lake day 😎. We are zone 6 I always assumed zone 7-8 would not have cold winters I was wrong. Everything is popping isn’t it!! Yipee!
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener from our house to turning on the boat 12 minutes it is so convenient. We are on the lake that the damn created to prevent flooding from the West Fork river. It is lovely with quiet coves during the week it is my haven the weekends are full of skiers , jet skis much busier and noisier . My sanctuary I love early morning late evening . Spoiled i am. We kyack on the river sometimes yet the backwaters of the lake are much more interesting with water fowl. When you and Richard come you will drive the boat and be the captain 👩✈️🌞
Great to see you! I will have to go back and catch up on all the videos. I am so behind on all my garden videos that I watch, my life has been insane lately.
Hi there Carrie and thanks for watching. I’m the same, I have a stack of videos to watch, so many good channels but not enough spare hours at the end of the day is there? 😂 have a great rest of the week 🥰
Garden is looking great Janette and I hope that your new plants will enjoy their new homes. So nice to see some daffodils in bloom and I think your bunting looks great too. So cheerful. Gardens take up a lot of time but it's nice to see things coming back to life after the long winter. We're due some freezing temperatures this week so fingers crossed the new shoots on our plants don't get hit.
Oh I hope our plants don’t get hit again too Wendy! We’ll have warm weather in a few weeks I’m hoping!! Thanks for liking my bunting. He hasn’t mentioned it again so I’m hoping he’s forgotten 😂😂 daffodils are cheerful aren’t they, I’m always pleased I bothered to plant Spring bulbs because I really never feel like doing it in October 😂🥰
Hello I'm Jeanne from Tucson Arizona. I love your videos. You mentioned hostas and snails. I watched a youtube channel called jscursions. She lives in Oregon. She says to go to the feed store and buy crushed oyster shell. Slugs and snails hate to cross over it to get to the hosta. I had a problem with this also when we lived in Washington state but we have since moved to the hot sonoran desert not too far from Pheonix. Just make sure you put it around the plant imediately when you plant. I hope this helps. I love hostas especially the blue ones and I saw in your other video you were looking for blue plants.
Hello there Jeanne and thank you for coming over all the way from Phoenix. We visited Phoenix way back in about 1987 and it was fabulous. A coach trip around the west coast and we stopped at Scottsdale. Thanks for your advice about the oyster shells, that is a very good solution as I do love hostas and those big blue ones would look amazing. I’ll have a look online to see if I can source any (or something similar) from here. I’ll also look for jscursions channel too!! Wishing you a wonderful day 🥰
Hi Jeanette, thank you once again for showing your garden to the world. I think it looks lovely even in March, I like the variety and your layout along with the neatness. It's a credit to you. How do you remember all the plant names? Have you planted any summer bulbs? I'm thinking about it. Like you I can't wait to strip off the cover to my table and chairs.....and enjoy seating in the garden with a glass of some kind. But when will that happen...Let's both guess a date, I'll go with 1st April .....you? Then see who is the closest...lol Keep on filming....S
Stephen 🥰 I hope you are wrong and it’s before 1st April, however we’ve had snow this week, it’s so cold here. Ok, challenge accepted and I am going to choose 21st March which is officially first day of Spring. I’ve had enough of all these months of coldness, but I guess I shouldn’t complain as this is such a warm climate compared to what so many of our gardening friends experience. I don’t have one single summer bulb! I need to change that because I need to up my late summer game. So thank you for reminding me to do that. I’ve ordered 4 different cannas and 2 different caladiums from Farmer Gracy in the Netherlands though which should be arriving soon so that’s exciting. I haven’t been able to get any gardening done today so hopefully tomorrow might be a better day, but happy Sunday to you for tomorrow my friend 🥰😊🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Morning Jenette, so the 21st March is your choice, let the best gardener win....! Secretly want you to win as it means we get to sit out earlier! Glad you feel the same way , had enought of the cold weather. I watched new life in the sun on T V jealous of the warm sun and flowers aboard. Glad I reminded you about the summer bulbs, I will Google the ones you've ordered from Netherlands. Brighten my porch with a couple of white saxifrage plants yesterday.. cheered me up.Once the flowers die back I transplant them into my rockery. Wished I knew all my other plants names like you. Enjoy Sunday...keep on filming. S III
Good morning Stephen. Yes, challenge accepted 😂 I watch New Life in the Sun quite often too 😊 well it seems quite a bright morning today although I haven’t ventured outside yet, I’ve been drinking coffee and watching RUclips which I’m sure you’ll agree is a nice relaxing way to start a Sunday. Your new plants sound lovely, and you have a rockery 😊 that sounds beautiful. I really try to remember all the names of my plants but there are many that just won’t stick in my mind. I think I’ve learned my new blue ones now though. Latin is not the easiest of languages 😂 I wish you a great day, I’m off to walk the dogs now. Always great to chat to you 😎
Hi there Sandra, how long have you lived in Florida? It must be such a beautiful place to be, warm weather. Well this week it has snowed, rained, been windy and cold and oh what I would give for some warmth 😊 so lovely to chat to you. 🥰
Hiya ,We’ve been in Florida 32 years now ,We last lived in Thorpe le Soken a nice little village not far from Clacton ,We decided to have a change and emigrated ,Yes we can grow nice plants but we get frosts some times so we lose some ,I’ve decided not to let these pretty plants persuade me to buy ,so I’m just trying to keep to things that take the heat ,humidity and occasional freezes ,x
Wow Sandra I do so admire you for taking the leap and emigrating. I’ve never moved further than 15 miles from my childhood home. To me Florida sounds just so glamorous 🥰😊
Goodness me, snow! You are only next door to me! When is it going to warm up!!! It’s cold and wet here this morning. Is it a lot of snow or a dusting? 🥶 hope you have a great day 🥰
Hello my friend . After watching your video , I realized I do need more evergreens for winter display. All of our plants and trees a bare now , we do have some colors now just with the forsythia and some daffodils but other than that everything looks brown.
Hello Max, we won’t have brown gardens for much longer 🎉🎉 but that is what I was thinking, trying to add more winter interest. It all takes a few years, money of course 😊 hope you’re doing ok 🥰
Hi Janette! Everything looks so lovely! I like the placement of your new blue shrubs and trees. And I would have never guessed where you moved things if you had not pointed them out. I too need to move plants this year. I also keep buying new ones😂
Hello Lauren, thank you! I want to keep buying more but i am seriously running out of space so I guess it’s a good job things keep dying on me 😂 hope you’re doing ok 🥰
Yes!!! I rewound and watched twice 😂 my question about the climbing rose canes. Oh I love that channel, it’s the first thing I do every day when I get home from work 😊 hope you have a great day today 🥰
I love your jacket! The garden is looking very good, I haven't done much in mine yet. Are you ready for the arctic weather coming our way this week? xx
Just finding you and your channel. Lovely garden. As for hostas, have you ever tried them in pots? It's a great way to keep those slugs away. Enjoy your day...Linda
So pleased to have a new gardening friend Linda!! Whereabouts are you? That’s a great idea for hostas. I am going to give them another try, I’d like to find those ones with the big blue thick leaves, maybe the slugs won’t like those leaves quite so much? Certainly worth a try in pots! I’ll do that 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener HI Janette... I live in Parksville, which is a little seaside community on Vancouver Island, Canada. My zone is 7-8. Hostas are great in pots because you can really see the leaves much more. Like you, I love those blue ones with the big leaves. Can't wait to see how it works out for you.
Wow, all the way in Vancouver Island! Isn’t it amazing how we can all so easily connect with each other right across the world Linda!! Incredible isn’t it? Well I do thank you for coming over, and I will definitely think about your hostas in pots idea. And a great way to add instant height too. I have a feeling my superhuman slugs and snails are good climbers though 😂 but yes, I’m going to do it 🥰
A very tidy and honest before the carnival of spring and summer explosion of blooms. As a novice regarding gardening blogs, I have posted on youtube a winter scene in my garden, before but the usual videos are summer mid June. The reason being my garden is all about Rambling roses, David Austin Rambling & climbing roses. So its good to see gardens shown at different times of year for comparison on the seasons..... RUclips.... Nigels Cheshire Garden ..and let me know, enjoy.
Hello there Nigel, I just visited your garden and home town and you have such a gorgeous garden (bunting too 😊) and what a wonderful area you live in too, in the snow video. Where I live we are about 30 miles from London so it’s all built up and seeing your landscape is like going back in time and very peaceful. Your garden is amazing, thanks for sharing 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you, yes we are spoilt in South Cheshire..Equal distance to Birmingham,Manchester and half an hour from Wales. Our weather is determined by the protection of the Welsh hills to the West. and Peak District to the east. Nantwich being a smaller version of Chester...
Hello there! Yes you are so right, I should do that definitely. I have been thinking the exact same thing. It is the right thing for the soil, I just need to get my act together with that one 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Good. You might want to consider using rubber mulch though it is pricey here. Because of that I limit where I use it. It did make a nice pathway for an area of my garden. I am looking forward to watching your garden plantings this year.
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Rubber mulch is made from shredded old tires. When I used it I first put down a landscape fabric. I made several small areas to just put potted plants on top of it. You could do this in a few areas of your beds and use wood mulch for the rest. You do need to read up on it before deciding. I do not know if it is even available in the UK.
Well thank you, that’s really interesting. I’ve just been looking at getting a large load of bark mulch from local trees in my area delivered. I need to measure my garden beds to work out how much it will be, but I’ll see if there’s any other options, such as yours, too, and price it all up. But I do definitely want to put something down as I haven’t added anything since spring of 2020. I do always fertilise the whole garden every spring too, plus I always add starter fertiliser when I plant something new, but it’s always good to keep adding goodness, plus of course like you say it looks so nice too. Thanks so much!! 🥰
Im so disappointed that you cut the top off the spruce because someone said it grows, so sad, it would have been better to give it away to meeeeee.......💔
Oh I don’t know what I was thinking Rose Mary! I panicked! It looks like it’s dead now ☠️ I’m a bad plant mother 😫 you would have taken good care of it 🥰
Hi Janette … not sure how I missed this video but I did! … your garden looks lovely … so nice to to see the green and blues and fill in with the early flowering spring daffs etc … it’s so nice to walk around the garden to see what’s coming through .. I did such a lot in my garden last year so I am looking forward to seeing what it’s like this year . Keep your bunting up.. it’s lovely, cheers you up in the colder days. Roll on spring Janette
Hello there Gill and thank you so much - and a big 👍 for voting for the bunting 😂 he hasn’t mentioned it since so I’m hoping he has bigger things on his mind 😂 so glad it’s Friday, and so glad it’s the last weekend of winter 🎉🎉 sounds like you did do a lot last year so I can understand that makes it more exciting to see things happening this year. Have a fabulous weekend 🥰
Good Sunday morning Janette. I love the traditional English Garden look. I agree, it's great that we're finally turning the corner into Spring!
Hello there Richard, I’m guessing you must be somewhere in the States as it’s now your morning? Thank you for joining me in my garden today. Last week of winter coming up, we’ve had terrible weather this past week, snow even on Wednesday but thankfully it didn’t stick around longer than a day. Wishing you a very happy Sunday 🥰
Hi Janette, I'm thinking 3 degrees sounds pretty nice. It's been 34 degrees here today which was at least better than yesterday's 37. Autumn in Australia starts on 1st March but we haven't said goodbye to the heat yet. Not so lovely and definitely no gardening. Your garden is looking great all ready to burst into life. You've done so much work already. Sad about the losses of Winter but so exciting to see the daffodils and all the new shoots that Spring brings. All your new blue little ones are looking so good. I don't know how you remember all those names. I'll love watching them grow. Glad you liked the look of my Jeffersred maple. If it looks like the pictures on the Internet as Winter approaches I'll be so happy. Hope you and Richard have a lovely week. Love Bron xx
Oh Bron I cannot imagine what 37 feels like, I’m not surprised there’s no gardening on those days. Today it’s another grim rainy windy and cold day here, but clocks change in a few weeks so hopefully the weather will too! Have a happy day down under (from me up over 😂) 🥰
Everything is waking up there! Love LOVE!
Hello Kylie, 2 weeks to Spring. Thank goodness, but it’s supposed to snow here tonight 🥶 come on nice weather! ☀️🥰
What a fabulous intro!!! Your garden is looking quite lovely. Here in the US, we pronounce chamaecyparis this way: cammie sipa ris. After a short warm spell, we are back to more chilly temps. Last Friday, we had a very freak and terrifying wind storm with wind gusts up to 80 miles per hour which uprooted many large, old trees all over town, taking electric lines down with them. My electricity came back on last night but there are still some homes without. The wind stripped the petals off my crocuses, bloodroot and a few others but really didn’t seem to harm any other tender vegetation such as daffodils and tulips, thank goodness. When the internet came back up, I was thrilled to see that you had posted a new video - I do enjoy seeing how your garden is doing. 💚 Oh, I love the bunting! Keep it!
Hello JC and thank you for telling me the pronunciation, I’m going to try and remember that, I was overcomplicating things 😂 but oh my goodness, your terrible storm sounds dreadful, I’m so sorry to hear that, all those beautiful old trees and your plants! It’s scary how devastating the weather can be isn’t it? I hope everything calms down for you all, I really do. Thanks for loving my garden - and in particular my bunting 🎉🎉 I’m going to ignore him … he must have been having a bad day 😂 we had snow yesterday, was supposed to get more last night but I’m pleased to say there’s none when I’ve looked out this morning. Here’s wishing you a wonderful rest of the week, and some good weather for you 🥰
I love the first blue Picia Pungence… your garden continues to look beautiful.
Hello Eunice, that’s my favourite one too, it’s called Hoopsii. I hope they continue to thrive. I’ll do my best to look after them. Hope you’re doing ok 🥰
Lovely garden, I especially like the topiary trees. You put alot of work in your garden and it shows. Can't wait till your bulbs flower! Thank you for sharing
Oh that is so nice of you C Dixon, I have been busy past couple of weekends, but really I only ever garden once a week at weekends (if it’s not raining) this time of year as I’m at work all week. But will be lovely when the clocks change end of this month so it will be light for a while when I get home. I love it too when the bulbs come out 🥰
Hi Janette, thanks for the March tour. Your blues look like they are in just the right places! You’ve got the bones of the garden all ready so now to look forward to Spring blooms.
I wish I could have tulips in the ground but the pesky squirrels did them up. I have to put mine in pots but still they are a sight to behold. Won’t be too long now 😊. X
Oh thank you Sue. I love my new blues. How annoying those squirrels are, I noticed a few holes here and there too. And they run across the fence and make my dogs bark 😂😂🥰
The garden is looking so pulled together Janette ...especially as its only early March !! Bravo xx
Hello Julie, thank you so much, I have had a couple of busy Sunday mornings weeding and pruning and transplanting, absolutely love doing it but I can’t wait for some warmth finally. Hope you’re ok 🥰
All of your new plants look so nice and so does the garden! I can't wait to get outside to plant. Our weather is so crazy, 73 and sunny yesterday and today is freezing! Snow and ice on Friday! 😒 My Red Plum trees are almost in full bloom also. I'm sure they'll be gone by the freeze. Oh well, Spring is on it's way, right? Have a great week! 😊
Oh no Peggy your poor red plums. Fingers crossed 🤞 they’ll be ok. We are supposed to get snow now as well. How annoying, where is some warm weather … please!! 🥰
Janette, everything is coming along very well. Your ahead of Alabama but we are slowly getting closer. I am so excited. Have a wonderful day
Hello Judy, thanks for coming over all the way from Alabama. Isn’t it amazing how we can all so easily connect from across the world 🌎 so lovely to chat with you.
Janette, Greetings from New Jersey U.S. Zone 7a. Shore coast. Happy to have found your channel. Love your sense of garden style. Binge watching past videos, your witty banter with Richard had me in stitches. Well done!
Hello Wendy and thank you so much for coming over to join me and Richard, it’s so lovely to have a new gardening friend 🥰 New Jersey too!! Isn’t it amazing how we can all so easily connect around the world 🌎 it’s been snowing, raining and windy all this week so now very Springlike at all, and cold! But at least it’s Friday and I’m looking forward to the weekend, even if I can’t get outside to do much. Take care and lovely chatting to you 🥰
We need Carnival Corner...!
I love all the specimens you chose and where you placed them. It looks so good and I can't wait to get some blue into my garden too.
Your garden looks great for March - here in zone 6 PA/USA it's all gray. Everything is gray.
But we hear the birds and some of the trees are starting to bud...there is hope.
Thx Janette :)
Hello Deborah, that’s 2 of us then who love carnival corner 😂 so it’s 2 against 1 😂😂 we will just ignore his request! Glad if I’ve inspired you to add blue too. Hopefully mine will “blue up” a bit more too when the sun finally decides to join us. It snowed here today and we expect more tonight. It can’t be much longer Deborah and our gardens will be less grey and more colourful. Always lovely to chat to you 🥰
Your smiling face brightens one's day....hope you and Richard are doing well.
Aww thank you, that’s so nice MJ and made my day brighter too! We are fine, Rich is happy because he’s playing golf ⛳️ today while I’m at work!! 🥰
Was just thinking what a desolate look a garden has end of winter, when I read the comments of others. 'looking great' 'looks lovely' is what I read. I'm So amazed. It will be great in a few months time, though :)
😂😂 you made me smile there Garden Joy because, yes, everyone is so encouraging and lovely about my bare patches and twigs it’s true 😂 won’t be long and we’ll have a bit more lushness to enjoy 🤞 have a great week 🥰
Thank you Janette. You always brighten up my Tuesdays😊💞
Aww thank you Sharon, I’m happy if I start your Tuesdays with a smile 🥰
It's all looking fabulous in your garden, well done Janette I love the new blue additions & yes it will soon be Spring oh we can't wait can we?! goodbye winter haha the forecast may be snow later this week for us in North Yorkshire but today was glorious with blue skies and sun, my greenhouse was 28 degrees this afternoon my seedlings are dancing:) Enjoy your garden, all your hard work shows x
Aww thank you, what a lovely comment. Well it’s very cold down in Essex and supposed to snow tonight too!! Can’t wait for some nice warmer weather, soon please 🙏🥰 have a great rest of the week 😊
Hello, Janette! Your story about the slug pellets and your pup made me 🤣🤣🤣. My dogs like to eat the organic fertilizer I use. I have to keep a sharp eye out because they’ll even dig newly planted things up to get to the fertilizer. Everything looks pretty and just waiting to spring into growth!
Hello Dawn, I once made the mistake of putting blood fish & bonemeal down in new planting holes and my little boy dog (this was years ago) dug it all up and all my new plants I had just put in 😂 yes we have to watch what we use don’t we? Hope you’re doing ok and looking forward to Spring 🥰
Good morning Janette, the blues look beautiful and the olive tree is looking so good. I'm envious my garden wont look like yours until May. Everything looks gorgeous.
Hello Adra - thank you so much, but May is only really a matter of weeks away 😊 can’t wait for some warmth and sunshine now ☀️ hope you’re having a great day 😍
It’s looking good You’ve done a good job there
Hello there Iris, thank you! We have snow this morning! And still falling. Spring in 2 weeks and it’s snowing!!! 😂🥰
Beautiful gardening 🌱🌱🌱🪴👌
Thank you Sanjivani and I hope you have a fabulous day 🥰
You’ve worked so hard Janette and it looks wonderful 🍃🌺🍃
Well Jasmine thank you so much. Soon be able to be outside more when the clocks change, I’m looking forward to sitting outside for an hour after work, that will be fabulous 🥰
Morning Jeanette 😊you’ve been working hard in your garden again 👍👍
My hebes didn’t do well after the snow we had this winter and I’m wondering if I should pull them all out !
Hello Susan, I am seriously considering doing that too. I think I will wait another couple of weeks just in case. 🥶 it’s too cold isn’t it? I’m fed up with it now 😂🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener me too, fed up with the cold 🥶 😅
Hello J.
Wow you are so lucky to have spring already.. it's -12 this morning.
Your ferns are looking amazing.
Love ferns.
Amazing tour.. I always enjoy your tours
We have tons of hostas... I cut them back and trade them
Hmmm slugs... We have them but not that bad. .
Lol I move things around so many times.
.
LMAO.. hospital corner..
I love that red Robin!!!!
Very tidy!!! You have been busy...
Richard will be golfing already!!!
Love the olive tree and your mirror
Hello Chris, 🥶 -12 goodness me, and I’m complaining about my 37 😊 I love those ferns too, and I’m going to see if I can find some of those blue hostas with the thick leaves. Give those a try I think. I’m so pleased with the red Robin, I think that’s going to look beautiful very soon. So great (always) to chat with you xx🥰
Hi. I see you managed to straighten up the wonky tree. It all looks great. I still have a few box wood plants so I am keeping an eye out of caterpillars!! Love the Red Robin you have. ❤️
Hello Pauline and yes, you remembered!! 😊 I did straighten the wonky tree, I forgot to say that. I love that one. I think the box tree caterpillars start around March time, but I sincerely hope you’ll be alright. I loved my boxwoods, such great plants aren’t they? I’m loving the Photinia too, can’t wait to see what that does 🥰 wishing you a great week 🥰
Looking good Janette! I too have several shrubs to move but we have a yellow weather warning for snow and ice so holding off this week. Our big project this year is a new pond so busy time ahead. Thank you for sharing your lovely garden with us 😊
Hello Pamela, good idea to hold off, I was fortunate it was quite nice when I did mine. I have woken up to … snow!! And it’s still falling! Where is our warm weather??! A pond! That’s a really exciting project, good luck with that 🥰
It looks so fresh & pretty! You have done a lot of work. I love the choices of blues in your garden. They make a big difference. So cheerful! Today I started mulching my flower beds. That is hard work lifting those bags & its 80 degrees today. Way too hot for this time of year here in middle GA/U.S. Everything needs watering but we are supposed to get rain this Friday so I may hold off.
Goodness me Lindy Lou, you have 80 degrees! And mulching in that must be exhausting. But what a good job to get done. It’s still cold here and we are supposed to get snow tonight so totally different to what you’re having. Thank you for always watching my videos, I so appreciate it my friend 🥰
I really like all the individual garden rooms/spaces. It's so diverse and beautiful. Well done.
Oh Karyn thank you, that’s so nice of you. If I could choose a different shaped garden, I’d love to have one where you can’t see everything all at once from the back door (which I do, pretty much), as I think it’s lovely to discover hidden things as you walk round. Hope you have a lovely rest of the week 🥰
Janette! You have been so busy! Everything looks gorgeous 😍! I can't wait to get out into my garden too! 💐🌷💐
Hello Cheryl, thank you! I have been out there a few hours over the last 2 weekends and thing I’m most pleased about is that I’ve almost got rid of all the autumn leaves. Endless job. Hope you’re ok, hope you can get out into yours soon 🥰
Garden is looking lovely Janette. Shame about the Yucca, but the replacement is nice. It’s great to see everything coming to life, roll on spring 😍
Hi there Lil, I’m over the yukka already, out of sight out of mind I’m afraid in my garden 😂 roll on Spring indeed, we need some lovely warm weather soon … please! 🥰
Excellent going lovely. I can't wait for it all to grow x
Good morning Davena, it’s beginning to come to life but oh still so cold 🥶 can’t be much longer before we get some much anticipated sunshine … please 🙏 🥰 have a fabulous day 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I'm Hoping because we have minus temperatures again this week in the Midlands. I'm not a fan of the cold x
Oh it’s gone on far too long now, this cold weather!!
You busy bee. Your garden looks lovely and full of promise ❤️. I know how you feel about spring, I get so excited about it, but this week's weather is a bit of a downer, I must say 🥶. But it's March, so we're getting there. Thanks for a lovely spring video, Janette, and have a great week.
Oh thank you Kim, it’s really cold here today, I can’t wait for a bit more warmth. A real downer, you’re right there. Can’t be much longer 🥰
Everything in your garden is looking Awesome and yes Spring is in the air ... I am so excited to get out in my yard .... I have recently taken out another tree which opened up all kinds of possibilities ... Yes soooo exciting ... !!!
Ooh that does sound exciting Shirlene, sounds like you’ve been very busy outside already this year. I cannot wait for some warmth, it feels like it’s been forever! Have a lovely rest of the week 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Thank you ... and you also ... !!!
It's looking good Janette. Bet you can't wait for all your new additions to grow. It will all come together for sure. Can't wait for Spring!!!🥀🌻🥀xxx
I cannot wait for Spring either Jane 🥰 and a bit more warmth. Looking forward to seeing my newbies grow 😍
Looking so good. 😊
Good morning Christelle and thank you so much! Happy Friday, Happy Spring 🥰🎉😎
Thank you Janette for the tour of ur garden! We just had a snow storm n will get another one next week so it is such an encouragement to see ur enchanting garden! 😁Lottie isn’t helping u much in the garden to keep the slugs away is she?😂
Hi there Mary, so many people have told me they’re having more snow!! 🥶 I hope it warms up soon for you then you can get outside again. Cold here today with a bit of sleet and lots of wind. Can’t be much longer 🥰
Beautiful Janette! the blues look so nice and great placement! So excited to see everything fill in as the season progresses ❤
Good morning and thank you so much MissPrettyPlants 😊 I’m really happy with my new blues 😊 so glad we are finally in the last week of winter 🎉 hope you’re ok 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener that’s so exciting! we are still under snow so will be another month or so for us to see the bulbs in action! I’m excited seeing yours and your new blues 💙
So many people are saying they have snow too!! 🥶 I hope it warms up for us all soon 🎉😊
Lovely and definitely keep the bunting! 🤣
Oh Lady Rider (love your name) thank you for voting for the bunting!! We need to keep carnival corner. I’ll send him off to golf and he’ll probably forget about it 😂 or give him some jobs to do to keep his mind off it 😊🥰
@The Enthusiastic Gardener I like your style! Always work to be done in the garden.
I have a motorbike related channel but am a keen gardener. 🤣 hence the Lady J Rider.
Lets hope we're gonna be fast tracking to spring now. 🤩 LJ
I do like where you planted the new..."ever blues", you've done a wonderful job getting ready for spring to burst. I'm heading to my seed sowing room now, I should have started after watching Janey, then seen Jeanette was here too 😊
I vote the bunting stays.
😂😂 that sounds very familiar, I get sucked into watching one garden RUclipsr after another too 😊 we’ll done for your seed sowing, I haven’t done any yet! Waiting for end of March I think then I might try on heat mats in my little greenhouse 🤞 I love my “ever blues” 🥰 I’m with you on the bunting 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener
Just taking a yogurt break. I'm trying to be better about checking days to germinate, I'm bad about that. Anxious I guess 🙄 I plant in soil blocks, in a tray, I just had to remove some sunflowers that, beyond belief, germinated in 3 days, as did 3 cosmos. Pulled those to their own tray.
Goodness you have a whole production going on by the sounds of it. I need to get my act together!! 😂🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener
yes you do 🤣
Janette, your garden is really coming to life, everything looks so promising. You have been really busy moving and trimming things, you are really on top of things🫶🙌. Tell Richard the bunting stays up for a little while longer, it’s so festive 😉. I wish I can do some chores but we are expecting snow this late in winter, the ground is still hard😣. My poor bulbs are so confused 😂. You gave my inspiration to dream of spring ❤
Hello Elizabeth and thank you! I have done all my moving around now, I think, we had snow last Wednesday but it only stayed round for one day so was ok, even my daffodils survived even though they got frozen solid, so I was amazed about that. I’m with you on the bunting 😂 he hasn’t mentioned it since so I’m ignoring that comment 😂 I hope you get some better weather soon. Spring next Monday!!! Hallelujah 🎉🎉😆😎🥰
Yes spring next Monday 🤩🤩💕. Old man winter is not done with either of us is he❄️☃️. Have a great week and looking forward to your bulbs sprouting, you planted a ton🌷
Old Man Winter should go back to sleep for a while now 😂😂
😂😂😂🙌
Hi Janette, lovely when the garden comes into life, iv been out doing tidy up, but guess what we have snow coming just hope the things that iv moved are OK, your gardens looking great 👍 👌 😀
Hi there Helen and so many people have told me they have (or are about to have) more snow!! It feels like this cold weather is going on forever doesn’t it? Let’s hope it warms up soon now, I’ve had enough of it 😂😂🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener definitely me 2 take care 🙂 💕
Your zone 8 looks so fresh and Spring like. The new blues are stunning. Everything looks so edited and ready for a lunch outside to watch the daffs bloom and tulips . It is so exciting !!! We are still showing snow flurries early mornings yet it warms into 50 degrees Fahrenheit 10 C in your area. Not too bad for us this winter im just impatient 😊have a great week!
Hi Teresa, I think we have quite similar weather a lot of the time. Too cold for lunch outside though 🥶 can’t be much longer and you’ll be back out boating on the West Fork. Happy days 🥰😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Janette indeed April one it goes on the lake !! I’ll put coat and gloves if need be on a sunny cold lake day 😎. We are zone 6 I always assumed zone 7-8 would not have cold winters I was wrong. Everything is popping isn’t it!! Yipee!
It sounds idyllic to be able to do that. Is your boat moared nearby? Do you sail past your house? Such fun. 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener from our house to turning on the boat 12 minutes it is so convenient. We are on the lake that the damn created to prevent flooding from the West Fork river. It is lovely with quiet coves during the week it is my haven the weekends are full of skiers , jet skis much busier and noisier . My sanctuary I love early morning late evening . Spoiled i am. We kyack on the river sometimes yet the backwaters of the lake are much more interesting with water fowl. When you and Richard come you will drive the boat and be the captain 👩✈️🌞
@@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994 fabulous!!!!!!
Great to see you! I will have to go back and catch up on all the videos. I am so behind on all my garden videos that I watch, my life has been insane lately.
Hi there Carrie and thanks for watching. I’m the same, I have a stack of videos to watch, so many good channels but not enough spare hours at the end of the day is there? 😂 have a great rest of the week 🥰
Garden is looking great Janette and I hope that your new plants will enjoy their new homes. So nice to see some daffodils in bloom and I think your bunting looks great too. So cheerful. Gardens take up a lot of time but it's nice to see things coming back to life after the long winter. We're due some freezing temperatures this week so fingers crossed the new shoots on our plants don't get hit.
Oh I hope our plants don’t get hit again too Wendy! We’ll have warm weather in a few weeks I’m hoping!! Thanks for liking my bunting. He hasn’t mentioned it again so I’m hoping he’s forgotten 😂😂 daffodils are cheerful aren’t they, I’m always pleased I bothered to plant Spring bulbs because I really never feel like doing it in October 😂🥰
Hello I'm Jeanne from Tucson Arizona. I love your videos. You mentioned hostas and snails. I watched a youtube channel called jscursions. She lives in Oregon. She says to go to the feed store and buy crushed oyster shell. Slugs and snails hate to cross over it to get to the hosta. I had a problem with this also when we lived in Washington state but we have since moved to the hot sonoran desert not too far from Pheonix. Just make sure you put it around the plant imediately when you plant. I hope this helps. I love hostas especially the blue ones and I saw in your other video you were looking for blue plants.
Hello there Jeanne and thank you for coming over all the way from Phoenix. We visited Phoenix way back in about 1987 and it was fabulous. A coach trip around the west coast and we stopped at Scottsdale. Thanks for your advice about the oyster shells, that is a very good solution as I do love hostas and those big blue ones would look amazing. I’ll have a look online to see if I can source any (or something similar) from here. I’ll also look for jscursions channel too!! Wishing you a wonderful day 🥰
Oh them Flamingo’s and that purple head thing 😂😂
😂😂 I know! Not your cup of tea. Still thinking about those big wooden mushrooms 😂😂
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener ohhh nooooooooo🦩😱
Hi Jeanette, thank you once again for showing your garden to the world. I think it looks lovely even in March, I like the variety and your layout along with the neatness. It's a credit to you.
How do you remember all the plant names?
Have you planted any summer bulbs? I'm thinking about it.
Like you I can't wait to strip off the cover to my table and chairs.....and enjoy seating in the garden with a glass of some kind. But when will that happen...Let's both guess a date, I'll go with 1st April .....you?
Then see who is the closest...lol
Keep on filming....S
Stephen 🥰 I hope you are wrong and it’s before 1st April, however we’ve had snow this week, it’s so cold here. Ok, challenge accepted and I am going to choose 21st March which is officially first day of Spring. I’ve had enough of all these months of coldness, but I guess I shouldn’t complain as this is such a warm climate compared to what so many of our gardening friends experience. I don’t have one single summer bulb! I need to change that because I need to up my late summer game. So thank you for reminding me to do that. I’ve ordered 4 different cannas and 2 different caladiums from Farmer Gracy in the Netherlands though which should be arriving soon so that’s exciting. I haven’t been able to get any gardening done today so hopefully tomorrow might be a better day, but happy Sunday to you for tomorrow my friend 🥰😊🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Morning Jenette, so the 21st March is your choice, let the best gardener win....! Secretly want you to win as it means we get to sit out earlier! Glad you feel the same way , had enought of the cold weather. I watched new life in the sun on T V jealous of the warm sun and flowers aboard.
Glad I reminded you about the summer bulbs, I will Google the ones you've ordered from Netherlands. Brighten my porch with a couple of white saxifrage plants yesterday.. cheered me up.Once the flowers die back I transplant them into my rockery. Wished I knew all my other plants names like you.
Enjoy Sunday...keep on filming.
S III
Good morning Stephen. Yes, challenge accepted 😂 I watch New Life in the Sun quite often too 😊 well it seems quite a bright morning today although I haven’t ventured outside yet, I’ve been drinking coffee and watching RUclips which I’m sure you’ll agree is a nice relaxing way to start a Sunday. Your new plants sound lovely, and you have a rockery 😊 that sounds beautiful. I really try to remember all the names of my plants but there are many that just won’t stick in my mind. I think I’ve learned my new blue ones now though. Latin is not the easiest of languages 😂 I wish you a great day, I’m off to walk the dogs now. Always great to chat to you 😎
Nanette if you really like hosts try planting them into pots. They really work n grow well in them, n you want have any slug problems
Bobbie you have read my mind!! Please have a watch of today’s video!! Thank you 🙏🥰💕
Lovely garden ,I used to live in Colchester we live in Florida now ,still working on my English style garden here ,x
Hi there Sandra, how long have you lived in Florida? It must be such a beautiful place to be, warm weather. Well this week it has snowed, rained, been windy and cold and oh what I would give for some warmth 😊 so lovely to chat to you. 🥰
Hiya ,We’ve been in Florida 32 years now ,We last lived in Thorpe le Soken a nice little village not far from Clacton ,We decided to have a change and emigrated ,Yes we can grow nice plants but we get frosts some times so we lose some ,I’ve decided not to let these pretty plants persuade me to buy ,so I’m just trying to keep to things that take the heat ,humidity and occasional freezes ,x
Wow Sandra I do so admire you for taking the leap and emigrating. I’ve never moved further than 15 miles from my childhood home. To me Florida sounds just so glamorous 🥰😊
I’m in suffolk and we have had snow last night. I’m too scared to go see what has happened In the garden 😅
Goodness me, snow! You are only next door to me! When is it going to warm up!!! It’s cold and wet here this morning. Is it a lot of snow or a dusting? 🥶 hope you have a great day 🥰
Everything looks awesome! My garden is a bit brown at the moment!
Hello Karen, it won’t stay brown for much longer, we just need a bit of sunshine to get everything going again, I cannot wait for that!! 🥰
Hello my friend .
After watching your video , I realized I do need more evergreens for winter display. All of our plants and trees a bare now , we do have some colors now just with the forsythia and some daffodils but other than that everything looks brown.
Hello Max, we won’t have brown gardens for much longer 🎉🎉 but that is what I was thinking, trying to add more winter interest. It all takes a few years, money of course 😊 hope you’re doing ok 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I totally understand, the evergreens are more money 😊. But I think is all worth it .
I do too Max 😊
Hi Janette! Everything looks so lovely! I like the placement of your new blue shrubs and trees. And I would have never guessed where you moved things if you had not pointed them out. I too need to move plants this year. I also keep buying new ones😂
Hello Lauren, thank you! I want to keep buying more but i am seriously running out of space so I guess it’s a good job things keep dying on me 😂 hope you’re doing ok 🥰
Didn’t you get a mention on Garden Answer last week?
Yes!!! I rewound and watched twice 😂 my question about the climbing rose canes. Oh I love that channel, it’s the first thing I do every day when I get home from work 😊 hope you have a great day today 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thanks, you too from a cold and damp Surrey
I love your jacket! The garden is looking very good, I haven't done much in mine yet. Are you ready for the arctic weather coming our way this week? xx
Mum just told me snow likely tomorrow 😫 it must be a double shock for you after your sunshine holiday! The jacket is from a charity shop 👍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I love a good charity shop bargain xx
Oh so do I 😂😂
Just finding you and your channel. Lovely garden. As for hostas, have you ever tried them in pots? It's a great way to keep those slugs away. Enjoy your day...Linda
So pleased to have a new gardening friend Linda!! Whereabouts are you? That’s a great idea for hostas. I am going to give them another try, I’d like to find those ones with the big blue thick leaves, maybe the slugs won’t like those leaves quite so much? Certainly worth a try in pots! I’ll do that 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener HI Janette... I live in Parksville, which is a little seaside community on Vancouver Island, Canada. My zone is 7-8. Hostas are great in pots because you can really see the leaves much more. Like you, I love those blue ones with the big leaves. Can't wait to see how it works out for you.
Wow, all the way in Vancouver Island! Isn’t it amazing how we can all so easily connect with each other right across the world Linda!! Incredible isn’t it? Well I do thank you for coming over, and I will definitely think about your hostas in pots idea. And a great way to add instant height too. I have a feeling my superhuman slugs and snails are good climbers though 😂 but yes, I’m going to do it 🥰
I think you pronounce it 'Kami-si-prus' .👍
Oh Pat what would I do without you!! I am making it far more complicated than it needs to be 😂😂 hope you’re doing ok 🥰
A very tidy and honest before the carnival of spring and summer explosion of blooms. As a novice regarding gardening blogs, I have posted on youtube a winter scene in my garden, before but the usual videos are summer mid June. The reason being my garden is all about Rambling roses, David Austin Rambling & climbing roses. So its good to see gardens shown at different times of year for comparison on the seasons..... RUclips.... Nigels Cheshire Garden ..and let me know, enjoy.
Hello there Nigel, I just visited your garden and home town and you have such a gorgeous garden (bunting too 😊) and what a wonderful area you live in too, in the snow video. Where I live we are about 30 miles from London so it’s all built up and seeing your landscape is like going back in time and very peaceful. Your garden is amazing, thanks for sharing 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you, yes we are spoilt in South Cheshire..Equal distance to Birmingham,Manchester and half an hour from Wales. Our weather is determined by the protection of the Welsh hills to the West. and Peak District to the east. Nantwich being a smaller
version of Chester...
Sounds wonderful, I have never been!! 🥰
Garlic spray is good for slug 🐌 control 😊
Hello James my friend, I did make some actually but the bees don’t like it so that’s a bit of a dilemma. How are you doing? 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener ok, good thanks, come on springtime 👍🤗
Definitely … bring it on. Supposed to snow here tonight!! 🥶
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener least it would cover up your garden ornaments 🦩🦋🤣
😂😂
I noticed that none of your beds are mulched. Most gardeners in the U.S. do this. I think your garden would look even better if you did this also.
Hello there! Yes you are so right, I should do that definitely. I have been thinking the exact same thing. It is the right thing for the soil, I just need to get my act together with that one 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Good. You might want to consider using rubber mulch though it is pricey here. Because of that I limit where I use it. It did make a nice pathway for an area of my garden. I am looking forward to watching your garden plantings this year.
Does rubber mulch nourish and improve the soil do you know? If so I will look into that, I’ve not heard of it before 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Rubber mulch is made from shredded old tires. When I used it I first put down a landscape fabric. I made several small areas to just put potted plants on top of it. You could do this in a few areas of your beds and use wood mulch for the rest. You do need to read up on it before deciding. I do not know if it is even available in the UK.
Well thank you, that’s really interesting. I’ve just been looking at getting a large load of bark mulch from local trees in my area delivered. I need to measure my garden beds to work out how much it will be, but I’ll see if there’s any other options, such as yours, too, and price it all up. But I do definitely want to put something down as I haven’t added anything since spring of 2020. I do always fertilise the whole garden every spring too, plus I always add starter fertiliser when I plant something new, but it’s always good to keep adding goodness, plus of course like you say it looks so nice too. Thanks so much!! 🥰
Im so disappointed that you cut the top off the spruce because someone said it grows, so sad, it would have been better to give it away to meeeeee.......💔
Oh I don’t know what I was thinking Rose Mary! I panicked! It looks like it’s dead now ☠️ I’m a bad plant mother 😫 you would have taken good care of it 🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener You still chose some great blue evergreens, so well done💪💖xx
Thanks Rose Mary 🥰
