- Crocus flowers and heavenly hellebores are keeping early bumblebees busy in our small garden and the intriguing chequered lanterns of Snake's Head Fritillary are animating the bulb display, nodding gently in the breeze. Anemone ‘Harmony Pearl’ hovers elegantly, radiating an ethereal and eye-catching beauty, as we watch the green shoots of spring bulbs emerging with eager anticipation.

I’m in the North West and you are weeks ahead of us. My fritillaries haven’t even broken ground yet and our bees are still fast asleep. Just found your channel, love your garden.
Greetings to the North West and thank you for your lovely, appreciative comment. Enjoy your fritillaries and bees as spring advances and new life gets into gear.
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing
We appreciate your lovely comment, thank you so much.
Какой красивьій и интересньій сад! Какие разнообразньіе птицьі его населяют! И разнообращньіе растения! 🩵☀️
Thank you for enjoying the plants and wildlife!
Thanks for a wonderful garden for today my dear friend. Thanks for sharing.
It is lovely to share with you, thank you so much for your appreciative comment.
I like the garden it’s beautiful. It was hard to stay awake watching as your voice is so soothing. You must do that for a living surely?😊
Thank you for sharing your enjoyment of the garden with us, and kind comment on the (non-professional) voice-over.
Researched, observant, useful, uplifting, nuanced, appreciative, aesthetically pleasing, sensitive .... and more; very much for me akin to the profound nature appreciation elements of Chinese Chan sentiments (Japanese Zen)--such a well-rounded post and lots of familiar friends in the images (humble bumble, pert flirting robin, thrush (with appropriate song)) and so many more things to appreciate. Merci. Fully value and respect the time, energy and creativity that goes into these.
Your words and appreciation mean so much, sending our thanks and very best wishes for the seasons ahead filled with wonderful familiar friends and more.
Your spring plants look lovely. I always grow Snake's Head Fritillary for my brother as his always fail. I find them easy to grow and have no problem with them. Unfortunately the pheasants on his land are partial to them so he has to put netting around them. My sister-in-law feeds the pheasants and they now knock on the conservatory doors if she's a bit late. Thanks for the interesting pheasant information. I'll pass that on. I love seeing the wildlife in your garden. The birds look like they are posing in front of the camera.
Thank you, Wendy. We had to smile at the image of your brother and sister-in-law’s impatient pheasants wanting to be fed (as a supplement to the tasty Snake’s Head Fritillaries). You obviously have the knack with these gorgeous plants.
Lovely flower arrangements 🌸🐝🌸🐝🤗
We appreciate your positive comment, sending best wishes!
Lovely to see another of your uplifting videos, I always look forward to spring and to what’s to come in the garden 😁🌸
Thank you for sharing your enjoyment and your sense of anticipation for spring, we all wait expectantly for nature to unwrap the most beautiful gifts ...
زهور جميلة متفتحة ومتناسقة بشكل جيد 🛩️🌩️🎖️
Thank you for sharing your enjoyment.
Another beautiful video. We just had a blast of arctic air so this was very refreshing. I can always tell when a storm is coming by if my cooking sticks to the pan.
Thank you so much, Amy. That's a very unique weather-forecasting ability you have there, we love that!
مسيرة موفقة🎍🎍🎍🎍🎍🎍💔💔💔💔💔👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻⚘️⚘️⚘️🍺🍺🍺🍣🍣
Thank you for watching!
Thanks a lot, I am so grateful for your beautiful and educational videos. Every time I can learn and pic a small idea to my much smaller garden patio. Love that you take the wild life to the next level for as all to understand and help nature. No one can do it all, but everyone can do something 😊 my Windows are full of garden pots waiting….
Forgot to ask what do you do with bulb lasagne after flowering…
Thank you Annette, for your positive and supportive message. Enjoy the delicious anticipation and the coming fruition of your garden pots.
@@annettemartensson4523 After blooming, we deadhead bulb flowers and allow leaves to wither naturally before removing foliage after 6 weeks. The pot of dormant bulbs can then be employed as a useful summer season ‘stand’ at the back of the patio display to raise the height of a potted annual perched on top - cover the top of the bulb pot with an upturned dish first. As with many tulips left in the ground, the display does tend to look less impressive by the second/third year, whereas crocus and narcissi flower well in layered pots year after year. A high-potassium liquid feed in the immediate run up to flowering can give the previous year’s bulbs a boost. We have never tried the method of lifting, drying and storing bulbs, I wonder if you have?
@@ApplePeaFernSea thanks for your time to answer, what a great idea, a black tulip queen of the night a lot of years ago come back year after year, otherwise i have bad experience of lifting up , hard to store perfect and the get sick .. think 1 try anemones daffodil and chrocus next year👩🏻🌾🐝👍
ps i tried to write to your mail, wanted to tip you of the buxbom you had trouble with..
this year i had so much larval to eat my box, but 1 cut it give it o strong shower and after that spraying it with fermented nettles, repeat it again after 10 days or so and the few left 1 picked by hand .. no waiting to see if the come back..
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and best wishes.
I love spring flowers last year I bought a few bulbs but most of them ended up either coming up blind or not appearing at all, Im not sure what went wrong. It's a joy to see your garden
Thank you so much Pamela, for your appreciative comment. What a shame about your bulbs, it is so disappointing when they aren’t thriving. If you planted narcissi, the RHS webpage on daffodil blindness may be helpful (www.rhs.org.uk/problems/daffodil-blindness). We hope you get a beautiful display to come.
Fantastic video & garden. Doing my bit here in Middlesex.🌻🐝🌻
Thank you so much, Kevin! Keep up the good work in Middlesex.
I planted fritillary last Novemberand they have not shown a sign of growth. What am I lacking?
Thank you for watching! There is still time for plants to emerge in March/April, and we’ve even seen them flowering in a meadow in very late May. We hope you get to enjoy them.
lovely garden, shame I really dislike the put on TV voice
Happy you enjoyed the garden!
Love your channel
Thank you so much for watching, and sending best wishes.
