I have one complaint about your videos -- they always leave me with a long shopping list! At this rate, I'm going to need a bigger garden :^) Thanks again for such well-presented expert advice.
Great presentation and thank you for asking those questions - may be obvious to some but most helpful to those like me who are constantly learning! Keep up the fabulous job, Alexandra !
Great idea of a plant road show! I always love Steve Edney's insights. The English robin is adorable. Quite the social bird! I learned the difference between English robins & U.S. robins from Paul T's Garden videos. Very useful information & thank you.
Oh my gosh, I just looked at the seed packet of geraniums that I ordered and it's the maculatum! Those ARE pretty. And speaking of pretty, I don't think I'll ever get over how pretty you look in that scarf! AND NOW with the purple coat! Just gorgeous.
I have been trying germs for the past 2 years and can’t seem to keep them alive. I was told they don’t like to be kept moist but the 2 experts in this video say the opposite. I will try giving them more water when we’re not getting rain. Hopefully I can succeed this time around! 🤞🏻 Coastal NC ZONE 8b.
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden thanks for the tip! We have been super dry this spring so I will have to keep an eye on the soil moisture and supplement water when needed.
Maybe it depends on how much sun they're getting. I'm in Oregon and I grow a native geranium to here and seems to prefer part shade and more moist downslope conditions, but if I was in a mountain meadow with lower high temps I think it would like full sun. Like it seems to want temperate conditions, I think sometimes giving more water can help make things more temperate (to a point).
@@Hayley-sl9lm thanks for the info! I didn’t realize at the time I wrote my initial comment but autocorrect changed the plant I was talking about from Geum to germ. But I have had issues with hardy geraniums in my area if they get too much sun so I can relate to your comment about them.
Thanks Alexandra, an interesting and imformative video as always. I have put Geum Mai Tai in my cottage garden for the first time this year and love it. It has a lovely soft and subltle apricot colour
I think the industry is clear about saying that adapting our growing practices - and getting the best formulations - to gardening peat-free will take a bit of time, but there are countries who have never gardened with peat-based composts, such as Australia, so once we've adapted, it will all work out. But the main point is that the peat bogs only renew themselves very slowly and they are a valuable habitat, so it makes no sense to use peat in our gardening.
What a great start to spring gardening for all of us. Thank you. Enjoyed my garden last weekend in the sunshine, peonies & roses blooming , lots others, just love it.
Particularly enjoyed this week's video. Loved the recommendations, the growing tips, and the reminder to look up what plant fairs are scheduled to be held near me.
This was wonderful! I'm so glad the odd looking 'air pot' was explained! And that little bird got it's 30 seconds of fame, lol. Conditions even within a single garden can vary so much, so information from all of these gardeners was helpful. I did balk a bit at the nettle, as I've yanked out a ton of the stinging ones from my garden this year...every time I think I've gotten them all, a new one pops up in a flower pot or crack in the pavement, and I must resist the urge to grab it without gloves. Love the "Cats Pajamas". :)
Thank you! And don't worry about the 'nettle'. It's a 'dead-nettle' or Lamium and isn't related to the stinging nettle (Urtica), although the leaf shapes look similar. I know what you mean about wanting to grab it without gloves, I always think 'it's just a tiny nettle, it won't hurt...ouch!'

Good morning Alexander, I just love these garden fair's. We can get the most wonderful information from these growers. Are those Geums not stunning? Such a beautiful flower and the colour is absolutely amazing. So many marvellous plants the individual growers have shared with us and they are all exquisite. I know the Erica's are so hardly, look at those fine leaves, that is the secret of those plants!! They are almost like needles. There are so many wonderful plants that we can choose from, and they are cheaper than a movie ticket, and they last it seems forever when taken care of. There is just so much joy in the plant world not forgetting those essential garden tools and the woollen pots are just the bling now. Just amazing the video was as good as ever, thank you for showing us new or hardly plants to choose from, as you know I am in S. Africa. but I just adapt according to climatic conditions. Our summers as quite harsh especially when the rain holds back, then it becomes a nightmare for us gardeners. Needless to say you are looking good as always, it has to be Nature that brings out the beauty in you/us. Many blessings, kind regards, Elize.
So would love to try geum, but we are dry and mainly sunny. That tangerine you have in your garden is lovely and would look great in the peach and pink statue garden. Love the video!
Well, I've been using various garden centre in Birmingham for over 45 years many have been consumed by bigger corporations. They've gone to the dogs by and large, staff are really thick with one or two exceptions, they know 'not a lot' about their products and much less about horticultural matters.

Hi again. Yep, they're pretty much a sameness now. Imagination has gone mostly, not much knowledge about like there used to be. I recall years ago many many Birmingham gardens (like elsewhere) were council places, but lovely gardens to be found everywhere, but now nice gardens are in the minority, i find when looking about. Still a few nice gardens about but not like there used to be. Sad i find, decline commonplace it seems.
That's a great video. Great tip about the peat-free compost and also the tree planting. I will have to ignore the tree planting info though as I'll be planting 3 in the next two weeks. Thank you, Alexandra.
Oh dear, I’m a serial overfiller!!! 🥴I really must try the bung a few annuals in the gaps tip! Top tip👍🏻 I’ve been having a dreadful time with peat free composts recently. Oddly enough regarding the soil thing, as part of my experiments, I’ve been mixing my peat free compost with shop bought top soil and my own leaf mould & finally I have found a recipe that keeps everything from Violas to French Marigolds to Toscana Kale to Hostas alive and thriving. For me, it’s the cure for very hit&miss peat free compost mixes! They’re all so confusing, what’s in them? Why are they so crumbly and seemingly bereft of nutrients? They really are a problem. I think some of them are actually worse now than when they first came out??!? I switched as soon as they became available & I’ll swear down I didn’t used to have as many growing failures in the early days…🤔
It's been very difficult for the industry because it's been hard finding a formulation that works and is environmentally sound (ie coir works well but is imported from thousands of miles away). And yes, you're right that formulations have changed and continue to change. Part of it is us adapting to a different way of treating our composts, but your mixing strategy sounds like a good one. But Australia, for example, has never used peat based composts and has a thriving horticultural industry, so it's all possible.
Hi Alexandra. I saw that you brought your pup with you, who is really getting big and gorgeous 😍. Loved the interviews and wondered if you could tell what the purple blue shrub or tree is that is sitting behind your guests? Thank you from across the pond.
Is there a way of getting lists of the plants in a specific national collection? I’m in the US so I’m not to familiar about these collections but I do find it very interesting. Thanks
There are some lists of plant collection holders - you could try contacting the collection holder as I imagine they would have a list. Here are some resources:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_Collections_Network and members.publicgardens.org/plant-collections-network/ (both US) and www.plantheritage.org.uk/ (UK)
Hi Alexander, I remember you posted a very good video on the way you make your videos , and your advice on the different equipment that you use. Are you able to tell us what the name of that video was thanks 😊
That's so kind of you to say so - it was a 'members' only' video when I briefly ran a membership scheme. But I couldn't keep up with the extra filming so I had to discontinue it. When I cancelled the membership scheme, I deleted the videos, so I don't have it any longer. So I'm sorry that it isn't around any more.
I am struggling to find plants for the back of a west facing border that are able to get tall enough early enough to beat my self seeders that return every year. I live in south Alabama, zone 8b. The problem is my poppies and bachelors buttons in spring and zinnias in the summer get to be 5 feet tall, shading everything behind them. I have experimented with roses on a trellis on the fence, canna lillies, and salvia amistad. So far only the salvia does well
I think height is a problem, alot of my plants shoot up so that it seems to be a competition as to which grows tallest. I think the only thing we can do is carry on experimenting. I've found sedum (hylotelephium) is quite good at staying low in the front of a border.
I have the most magnificent Blue gum tree that Serendipitously came up in a pot out the back that was most certainly root bound and planted the whole contents of the pot out the front not expecting the tree to do anything. How wrong was I. My next door neighbour is none too impressed.
oh, dear, I'm not sure why that's happened. But thank you for trying. Let's hope the glitch goes away soon. But thank you for telling me, it's useful to know in case there is something I can do.

Gr8 advice on peat free they tote this as the greatest thing since sliced bread
Peat free compost is saving peat bogs from being mined, thus preserving key habitats.
I think the industry is clear about saying that adapting our growing practices - and getting the best formulations - to gardening peat-free will take a bit of time, but there are countries who have never gardened with peat-based composts, such as Australia, so once we've adapted, it will all work out. But the main point is that the peat bogs only renew themselves very slowly and they are a valuable habitat, so it makes no sense to use peat in our gardening.
@@MyFocusVaries totally agree wihyou
@@zonabrown9241 in Vancouver BC Canada Costco this year, they had a peat free organic potting mix, so we know the idea is catching on.
Preserving peat bogs is vital
Excellent video. Wish I lived in the UK.
