I always love the look of the garden when a fresh layer of mulch has been applied. When it is still dark and rich and fluffy looking and just gives a nice contrast to the plants.
Oh me too 💗
I've been faithfully following your advice about the planting of tulips over the past couple of years, and was rewarded this year with the most amazing show of returning varieties. Have been telling all my gardening friends about which are the best groups to buy, and how to plant them. But don't worry, I also mention your great gardening channel😀
Haha. Great to hear . Now yours is the kind of comment I just love to hear ❤️🌷❤️
Thank you so much for sharing a lovely garden tour. I’m so glad that you’re out of the hospital and doing better. It’s good to see you in your garden again.
Ja, wirklich. Sehr, sehr schön. 👍👍👍
Thank you. Feeling stronger every day
All looks perfect to me !!! Your garden is always very enjoyable no matter the time of the year❤️
Ah, you're too kind.
Great to see the Lady of Douentza looking well and shareing her Treasures with us, my only daughter who,s name is Debbie loved your Camellia Rachel, stay strong Frank
Frank, you will have to plant Camellia 'Debbie' for your daughter. It is a great one, a reliable flowerer and can be sourced.
TY Rachel, i will
Very glad you're better... So, so envious of your growbags of compost opportunity😊
Yes, I was very lucky with the growbags 🙂
I love your Claus Dalby style porch pots. Your garden is beautiful always.
Haha. I thought first I might put on an apron and some glasses and do a whole homage thing but decided not to in the end 😊
Love the arch paint color.
Thanks
Hi Rachel,
Welcome back - it’s good to see you in rude health again.
Sorry your garden has taken such a hit after the wet, cold weather. Hoping for a good result for your box wood!
Thank you so much 🤞
Good to see you back and about in your garden. Cannnot wait to see your subsequent videos.
Plenty more to come! Thank you
We always enjoy your videos Rachel, sorry to hear that you have been in Hospital, hope you are better now. Sad that you have lost plants, have box blight, hope you get it sorted. It has been very wet Winter/Spring here in NW England too. Love your display around your front door. Take care, God bless.
Thank you. Feeling much better now and wishing you a fabulous spring 🌼🌱
Looking as lovely as ever! And i hope you're not overdoing it. Take care, see you next video 💚
Thank you. Much appreciated. See you there.
Hi Rachel, your Camilla look stunning. Very beautiful. ❤ I love the pink magnolia the best though. Really stunning.
Thank you, Cheryl. Magnolias and camellias really are signature plants for this time of year. So beautiful and sturdy.
Hello Rachel, it's wonderful to see you back in your garden with the beautiful and the bad, just happy you're back with us. And thank goodness Catsky is there to make sure that you arrange all the lovely plants at your front door.
Yes, thank goodness for Catsby, keeping me on the straight and narrow 😂
So lovely to see your garden and I love the colour of your arches. You were so lucky with the free strawberry compost!! I’m so sad for your losses, particularly your box hedges to fungal disease Rachel. I had such problems a few years ago with my boxwoods and took them all out in the end, but mine was the box tree moths and caterpillars which is spreading all over England unfortunately. So I’m not planting any more of them which is so sad as they are gorgeous. I hope you can manage to get yours to recover. All your tulips and spring bulbs are wonderful!!
Yes, I saw that video of yours, Jeanette, when you removed the box. I managed to get a brief dry spell and treat mine so fingers crossed 🤞
@@GardeningatDouentza oh that’s good to hear!! Been raining here on and off all this week 🥰
Lovely pots display.
Thank you
Hi Rachel your garden is gorgeous as usual. The Camellias are spectacular! I was concerned about cold damage here this winter. Our winter was basically mild except for one sharp cold spell in December. I was concerned about my 20ft Ficus carica , it's been late to leaf but low and behold it's sprouting out. Thank goodness because a few years back we had a cold snap that took it to the ground and it was very large then. Love your channel , take care.
It has been a difficult winter. So glad to hear about your fig. It's great when plants surprise us for the best
loved the video, thank you for sharing with us. and the arrangement is beautiful!!! take care and stay safe.
Thank you! You too!
Your garden is looking fantastic this spring - better than ever!
Sad about your losses but your successes outshine them. They give new opportunities. Great video!
So nice of you. Thank you and happy growing.
Our spring here in Vancouver island BC Canada has been cold and wet too! Nice to see your spring garden.
Thanks for visiting
Thanks for the spring update. Free mulch wow. Sorry to see the damage on the Box. I am trying to save my box from the box tree caterpillar 😢. I love the pots by the front door, I am sure they are a real joy to see as you go in and out. 😊
Sorry to hear about your box caterpillar. We gardeners have to take the rough with the smooth 😉
Good to see you looking so much better Rachel.I think you will find suitable pieces to propogate your aeoniums.I had a very mature one outdoors only covered with fleece and the damaged pieces are beginning to shoot again.Good luck.
Thank you. That's good news about your aeoniums. I hope mine do as well
Hi Rachel 🌺your garden looks amazing in this time of the year you can plant the same plants or aney plants in place the plants that did not sirvive the cold weather . You can plant japanese maple in place the olearia lacunosa tree. Have awonderful day and Happy Easter.✝️
Thank you and, yes, such a great time of year for replanting 🙂
Why-gee-lee-yah is how I’ve heard the shrub in question pronounced. Such a lovely shrub, and a lovely garden!
So sad about the boxwood. I have some losses in my garden too. It was a relatively mild winter, but we got a few days near or below 0 degrees F and I guess it was just too much for some things 😢
The winter has been hard on many gardens. Let's hope we get a nice summer to make up for it! 😉
Sorry to hear about your boxwood blight. I still have to pot up my dahlias. The tulips and daffodils are coming up now, I wish that I could grow camellias in my zone 5b garden.
Isn't it great to see those bulbs popping up! Sorry to hear you can't grow camellias but I'm sure you are enjoying your spring. Best wishes from zone 9 to 5b

.The garden will really start growing now. We are expecting 20C weather for most of the week. Likely won't last long though. Bonny
Sad to see your boxus circle has blight it was so lovely I have seen it in many of your videos and love it I'm hoping to do a circle of boxus in my garden round a weeping cherry so I will be interested to see what treatment you use for the blight, love the colour of the arches could I ask what shade and brand paint you used please
The paint is Fleetwood 'birch bark' and you can expect my video on treating the box blight next Sunday
@@GardeningatDouentza thank you
Hello Rachel Just wondering what the soil pH is at Douentza. Love your videos.
Well, my soil is acidic but I can't give you any numbers, unfortunately.
I thought so considering you have acid loving Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Magnolias
Sorry about your aeoniums. Were they just all mush, or did you have any firm stems that might throw off a baby or maybe one head that survived that you can propagate?
I am guessing they grow quite slowly in Ireland... So any recovery would probably be quite long.
Thank you. I do have some salvageable aeonium pieces. It's a shame about the big spécimens though
