Hi everyone, and a very warm welcome if you're new to my channel. I hope you find some of the advice and ideas in my video helpful and inspiring, and if you do please drop me a comment below to let me know what you enjoyed. And if you have any queries do post them in the comments below. Happy gardening!
What a wonderful video … so thoroughly enjoyed it … so informative on a lot of flowers and shrubs I have in my garden. I’m in the NW of England and have a south facing back garden so have sun most of the day. I love the way you have divided your garden up .. I could do the same in mine but wouldn’t know where to start .. maybe you could do a video on that? Do you over winter your osteospermums? Thankyou a truly wonderful video 👍
So pleased you've discovered my channel and enjoyed the video. I do try and save my osteospermum from one year to the next but am not always successful. I do have a greenhouse but do not heat it through winter, so if a plant is borderline hardy like osteospermum it is always a gamble whether they will get through unscathed. Last autumn I bought my two pots of osteospermum under cover for winter, cutting them back by about two thirds, and didn't water. Each pot had 3 plants in, and in both pot one plant has survived to flower another year. It's worth trying if you have some sheltered and protection for them. You've got nothing to loose!
@@susanmills8628 Yes I think it is always best to grow cane fruits like Tayberry in a sunny position. You do want to encourage bees and insects to pollinate the flowers, good sun will promote strong growth and flowering, and the warmth will also help growth and fruit ripening. Also Tayberries do not like dry soil and perhaps the compost in your pot is drying out too much. They'll need a really large pot, and standing it in a saucer of water would help provide a reservoir of water too.
So nice of you. Pleased you enjoyed it. Our saying here in England is that good gardeners have green fingers! I do like to get mine down in the soil too. Enjoy your garden.
Yes, a simple thing to do that just incorporates a small reservoir of water in the base for compost/roots to use during the day to help prevent drying out too quickly … rather like standing pots in a saucer of water. Do try it and let me know how you get on.
HaHa. Sometimes 'bold and brash' is just what a garden display needs to create impact and interest. At other times choosing subtle plants can be more relaxing. Hopefully there's something for every choice. Pleased you enjoyed the video.
This has been so informative. One of if not the best gardening channels to learn practical information from. I also like the way you organise your garden with confidence, not bitty at all. Thank you for a great video.
Thank you Sandra. That is praise indeed! Really pleased you enjoyed my video. Please do check out some of the others on my channel, and more videos coming as we move into summer. Happy gardening!
Another well organised informative video Adam. I live in the wettest part of the country, and you’ve given me a brilliant idea of keeping osteospermum and violas in my green house to keep them drier.
Thank you so much for sharing my video with your family and friends. This really helps introduce more people to my channel. I hope they enjoy it as much as you. Happy gardening!
That’s very kind of you. So pleased you enjoy my videos. Let me know if there are any topics you would like me to consider for future videos. Happy gardening.
So nice to see your flowers blooming and doing well! I have some Scabia that I really like and the bees really like it! Id like to get some Erysium , to add some purple. Is it bertter to keep a hosta in the soil or in a pot?
Hostas grow well in both pots and soil. Igrow all mine in pots as we like moving them around the patio and garden to create different displays. They have lovely summer flowers too. However, they do grow over time and need bigger pots that can be heavy to move. Personally I love mine in pots and find it easier to protect them from snails!
Good morning. I’m going to use slow release fertiliser pellets this year for the first time. Do you still feed your pots with another fertiliser throughout the year or are the pellets enough for you? Love your videos. Excellent. Xx
Thanks and so please you enjoy my videos. For summer bedding pots and baskets these slow release fertiliser granules mixed into compost at planting time should provide sufficient food for several months. They should slowly dissolve over time in moist compost so additional feeding shouldn’t be necessary. Good luck.
Hi Adam is too late to prune my roses down , also my Bride isn’t flowering much at all , should I feed it ? Thanks in advance . Thank you for this amazing vlog 🦋
I would normally prune roses around February to March, and many of mine already have flower buds forming. If you really need to prune them you can, and new shoots will break from low down, but this will delay flowering. However, if you need to prune then I would probably go for it. Have you cut back your Exochorda? This can reduce flowering. Otherwise a good feed and mulch will always be of benefit. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video.

Enjoyed and learned so much thank you Adam.Do the tayberry need full sun I’ve got mine in a big tub but didn’t get much fruit 🥺

What a fantastic idea to put a tray at the bottom of the hanging basket! I'm going to do that
