- It's well and truly Spring so let me take you for a walk round the front garden to see how all the flowers, trees and shrubs are responding to the higher temperatures of mid Spring.
My English Garden is near the coast in North-West England, 1/3 of an acre (including the house) Zone 9a with sandy soil.

I'm sure the Robins will name their eldest son Paul
🤣👍
That is a fabulous reply !
Of course, I love your garden. Inspiring, well kept and beautiful. However there is another reason I love your uploads and it's the way you speak. You speak as beautifully as your garden looks. A true English gentleman which is a rare find these days.
Thank you so much - I appreciate you letting me know as it gives me confidence as it can be difficult listening to one’s own voice.
My lucky day, get to watch a video from you.
How nice of you Christine 🌸
I always look forward to your videos. They’re so calming and I love seeing your flowers and trees. You should have open days so people can come and visit your gardens and make a donation haha
Thank you - it's really nice to know.
THANKS PAUL…🤗 enjoying with my morning coffee ☕️…everything looks beautiful 🤩🤩
Giving the sparrows something to chirp about 😊💚💚💚
Hiya Budget Audiophile, I always time my uploads to coincide with your morning coffee! Yep, those sparrow were making quite noise - I love to hear chirping.
@@paultsworld WE DO TOO 🤗
👍🌻
gracias, por compartir tu lindo paraíso, jardín bello 🌺🌷🌸🌼💚bendiciones señor Paul😃🙌🙏
Eres muy amable Tomasa. 🌸
Wonderful! Really enjoyed it. Waiting for the next one!!👍 From the Netherlands
So nice of you, greeting to the Netherlands.
Hi Paul wonderful video of your garden in spring your plants looks amazing and the flowers so bretty . Have anice day .
Thank you Lina - have a good day!
Hi paul. Your garden is full of promise of things to come. But looks great. I keep my sorbaria in a large pot. It is a lovely foliage plant. .the evenings are getting longer. But we have had so much rain. Thanks for a lovely video.god bless x
Hi Catherine, that’s an excellent idea to have the Sorbaria in a pot. Lots of rain - and wind here today and it’s so cold! 🌻
Robin , your faithful companion !!!❤
He is! 🌻
You know I have to mention that dear robin, nice he has a family on the way, she must think he was a real catch. The blooms are stunning, that candy tuft is something else, as is the aubretia, looking forward to the next tour.
The robin certainly does well for food - both from me but also I’ve seen him find all sorts of insects.
The candytuft lights up the garden and grows so well as I had to cut some of it back quite a way last year - I love that kind of plant!
Your garden is so lovely. My snowdrops and crocus are just making an appearance. Thank you do much for sharing, and for a taste of wonderful things to come.
How lovely - the Spring flowers lighting up your garden. Have a lovely Spring Colleen. 🌸
Lovely! 😃 Nice to see flowers...My entire front garden was just eaten by the deer. We tried to put netting around but they got in. It seems a small deer (too early for fawns) squirmed its way under the netting, hoisted it opened, others followed (many different sized hooves), and all had a feast! 😒😮💨🤨 There was another intrusion into our side garden ripped open by a racoon or snuck looking for something. It's higher up so it had to be ripped by claws not just squirmed through. Of course, the deer exploited it and had another bacchanal 😑 We thought about a fence. Went through the 11 step process to get village approval. Received it but, then, at the eleventh hour, my neighbor, a notorious pains in the a*s, brought in the lawyers with a deed from 1947 prohibiting fences without your neighbor's approval. They don't approve, so no fence (and $1,600 lost)! 😮💨Deeds are hard to break so it would be a waste of more money to try. Why do they not want us to have a fence. Who knows, but I have a hunch it is because she (her husband was fine with it) has the smallest property around. A fence would make that too obvious to her country club cronies. So netting just around the beds - at least until "la reina de casa" (as her help calls her) gets a whim to cause trouble. As you can see, all sorts of wildlife just north of NYC! 😊 P.S. - One morning we woke up to see a coyWolf (yes, a NY sub-species) in our backyard. It was fawning season and we are a maternity ward... but that is the subject for another day!!🤔
That must be so frustrating - losing plants and not having a good way to prevent it happening again.
I do hope you find a solution so you can get back to enjoying your garden as soon as possible.
Your wildlife is amazing though!
Beautiful variety of garden plants !
Thank you Patricia.
Hi Paul! Keeping up with the videos. What a wonderful season Spring is, it is my favorite. I’m getting ready to go back to the United States, and I checked the weather, and still cold there. Here in México it is hot, we have 90° F😅🤠Plants here are so beautiful year round and I love that🥰I’m very tired of cold and long winters🤭So I’m enjoying my time here. Greetings from Michoacán, México🙋🏻♀️🇲🇽💚💚💚💚🌵🪴
Hello Saya, how fabulous enjoying warm weather in Mexico - I’m not keen on cold weather either and am looking forward to things warming up here - it’s unseasonably cold in Britain at the moment. Enjoy your Spring.🌻
Looking good, Paul (both you and the garden)
Thank you Joseph
Good afternoon, Paul!
Spring is such a beautiful season! Beautiful blooms from your many trees, bushes! What a good parent you are to the male robin in turns he feeds the female robin! I love to see them in the yard hopping for a meal! Paul, your garden always looks beautiful!
Thank you Maria, Spring always surprises me at how beautiful it is - and of course the birds are active and fun to watch. 🌸
Absolutely loved the tour.....thanks, Paul!
Thank you Ellie! 🌸
Hi Paul, lovely video of your beautiful spring garden. We’re a bit behind here but things are popping up all over my garden. The hummingbirds should be coming in a couple of weeks which is thrilling. I always look forward to your videos. 😊❤️
Hi Vicki, that is so exciting waiting for the hummingbirds to reappear each year - we have the same with the swallows that Winter in Africa and nest here. Glad you enjoyed my Spring garden. 🌻
Bravo Paul! Beautiful garden Paul! The Best garden! The Best man! I love you garden! România
Thank you Roxana - greetings to Romania 🌻
❤ your beautiful garden. Greetings from Puerto Rico. Cheers
Thank you Maricarmen - I'll bet it's nice and warm in Puerto Rico!
Magnificent as always 🌼💜
So nice - thank you.
Από την όμορφη Ελλάδα καλημέρα!!!❤❤❤
Σας ευχαριστώ - από τη βροχερή Αγγλία! 😆 ☔️
Everything Love Thank you paul
Thank you - so nice of you Lucia
Hello, my dear Paul! Hope you spent a blessed Easter with your family! I'm back from London! Such a fantastic trip and magical city! And we had a lovely weather most of the time too...
Always a pure pleasure and joy for the eyes and soul to watch the amazing beauty of your garden.
And springtime is the perfect season to show it. HUGs and my huge like,dear friend! Renata
Wow Renata, so pleased you had a good time - and weather - in London - I look forward to the video - or videos! Have a lovely Springtime in Italy. 🌻🌸
@@paultsworld THANKS from the heart, dear Paul! Ciao!
Thank you Renata - ciao!
Everything is looking great. Always a joy to walk around your garden Paul T.
Good afternoon Marti, thank you for joining me.
Lovely garden as always. I look forward to your videos as you explain each plant wonderfully. The robin has become your new mate & obviously loves your garden too 😊
I am so pleased you enjoy my garden videos. As you see, the robin is a fantastic garden companion. 🌻
Your garden is lovely. Much farther ahead than Indiana USA. Thank you for the video.
Thank you Sanna & Eric.
Garden is looking lovely Paul. I particularly liked the Amelanchier. Absolutely stunning. Good to see the robin is still following you around. He's become quite a star hasn't he?
The blossom doesn't last long Wendy - but wow, it really lights up the garden.
I actually hadn't realised - till I watched the filming back - just how much he is right there. He knows mealworms aren't on the cards when I'm filming and that I'm not doing any digging, but he seems happy to patiently keep me company and potter around. He certainly has star quality.
@@paultsworld Some gardeners have a dog, some may have a cat, you have a Robin following you around your garden.
@Richard Higel 😆👍
As usual everything is just stunning Paul!
So nice of you - thank you Linda.
Okay we have to name the Robin😂
🤣😆 you’re right actually - ‘The Robin’ isn’t personal enough!
I was thinking the same.
Truly wonderful... 😍 😍 😍
Thank you for sharing your lovely garden.. Paul T's World.
Have a pleasant new week ahead and greetings from North Borneo..
Thank you - I am so pleased you enjoy my garden. Enjoy your day and greetings to North Borneo.
Very nice video Paul. Being in Zine 6 our last frost date is may 16th so lovely to see your garden and new growth of ur plants❤️
Hi Nadine, we can also gets frosts in May but generally my last frost date is around first week of April - fingers crossed!
vlog güzel teşekkürler türkiyeden
selamlar😊
Thank you Kayra.
Teşekkür ederim. İyi günler ve Türkiye'ye selamlar.🌻
Everything is looking so pretty. Love the way your little friend comes on the tour too. Thank you Paul.
Thank you Lil. That’s right - the robin hasn’t missed a tour yet. 🌻
fabulous tour, the robin was so sweet!!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed the robin.
Perfect! Just what I needed this morning 😄. Thank you!😀
Thank you Claudine 🌻
What a lovely video thanks for sharing
Thank you! 🌻
Wonderful to watch plants springing to life. Sweet story about your robin.
That's right - I always see plenty of new growth every time I go out. 🌻
Stunning Paul 🥰
Thank you Jasmine 🌻
I have a contorted hazel, also. You are farther along with perennials blooming,and it is lovely. Thank you for sharing your garden.
Those hazels are lovely aren’t they. Glad you enjoyed the tour.
I guess you could say you're the Robin's wingman 😉
Absolutely - 😀
Nevertheless , at this time of the year , the garden comes to life with every day new colors appear , and things appear in the garden where it is necessary to carry out fertilizing pest control and sanitary pruning of shrubs . Thanks for the garden review
You are correct - a lot is happening in the garden and lots of work to do. Thank you for coming on the garden tour.
Hi Paul, the gardens looking beautiful I love spring everything coming back to life again, the Robin's are lovely, enjoy your garden, think it's to get warmer next week yeah can't wait lots to do in the garden. ❤
Hi Helen, thank you. Let's hope it warms up a bit - I've been hiding in the house today trying to keep warm. Weekend might be OK - hope you get out then. 🌸
Wow 🤩 very pretty garden
Thank you!
What a lovely look round your garden Paul - especially as it’s blowing a gale & hail stoning where I live! Glad to see Mr Robin is keeping an eye on you 😉
It’s horrible today here as well - luckily I shot the video a day or two ago. Glad you enjoyed my garden. (Please remind me of your name - it’s slipped my mind - sorry ☺️)
@@paultsworld my name is Lindsay … I should really change my ‘RUclips’ name - it was from an old blog I had many years ago!
Hi Lindsay, I wanted to reply with your name but it felt funny to say Hi Willow Grove. 😀
Good morning Paul watching before going to work thank you for taking us for another tour in your beautiful garden. Love from USA 👍❤️😊🙏
Hi Khay, thank you for joining me on the tour - greetings to the States. 🌻
Спасибо за видео.
You are most welcome Nadezhda
Здрастуй, Пол! Мне очень нравятся прогулки по саду. Птица всегда наблюдает за вами, выпрашивает червей. Мне нравится английский сад. Спасибо за прогулку 😊
Thank you Ирина, I am very pleased you enjoy the walk round my garden.
So beautiful! can feel the excitement in your voice! I love spring ❤
Thank you! I love seeing new growth that wasn’t there the day before - it’s so exciting.
Great garden pet this Robin! So cute! 😍
Yes, he’s there every day - and now feeding chicks.
@@paultsworld Wow! Next you have a new family to feed 😀So sweet!
@@meggygurova7273 yep, I’ve bought their favourite mealworms.
So Beautiful
Thank you!
Beautiful thank you
You’re welcome Maya.
Рай!!!
Thank you! 🌻
Looking good!!!
Thank you!
Everything looks wonderful, perfect, healthy and vigorous in your garden. In contrast, in my garden there are still few flowers to look at (only the early tulips Tulipa fosteriana, hiacynths and some daffodils); the recent hailstorm did a lot of damage on Monday. My peonies are about 20cm long and the stems are still in the red phase. I am about one month behind you, I think.The peonies are 30-50 years old, by the way.
Sorry you had such a bad hail storm - there was also hail here but hardly pea-sized so only damage was an azalea a bit flattened. That’s interesting you call the peonies in the red phase - I’d never even noticed that before. That’s quite a heritage being half a century old.
@@paultsworld "The red phase" is the term that I've coined, it's highly likely to be incorrect from the botanical point of view.
It's an apt phrase and describes it exactly!
@@paultsworld Thank you!
Good Morning Paul, wow what a difference a few weeks make. It looks spectacular. Good to see you are still the azalea king! I am sure a lot of viewers are envious of your azaleas. Thank you for the canna update. I am leaving mine in, I think.... OR I could dig it up... did you leave any of yours in the soil ? We are having perfect weather here and the perfect amount of rain as not to have to water. I am full steam ahead with autumn cut back, agapanthus stems today...just had to have a coffee and watch your video first😊
Good day to you Margaret, the cannas - I had some in the garage - that you saw - and three lots in the ground. So far I have not seen any shoots from the ones in the ground - however I think it's still a little early here so I'm nicely, optimistically, hopeful with fingers crossed - it's their first Winter in the ground - and what a Winter.
I am so pleased you are having nice weather after all the rain, storms and wind you've had this last 12 months - I'll bet it's nice to be out in your Autumn garden - glad to hear a coffee and my video is first in order!
When I planted the canna bulb/tuber/thingey for the first time in Spring, it didn't spire for AGES. I thought it had died, so don't give up until summer. This will be the first winter coming up for mine. You got some old fashioned cold this winter didn't you? and it was quite late? Good to see all your plants looking so healthy and promising this Spring. I cross my fingers for your cannas in the ground. I reckon they'll be ok!
Yes, old fashioned Winter - I prefer the new fashioned ones!
I won’t give up on any of the tropicals until the soil is properly warmed up.
The garden is looking great Paul! I always liked the Sorbaria Sorbifolia (false spirea) but the suckering concerns me, however there seems to be smaller cultivar called Matcha Ball that claims it will not sucker. Also I wanted to ask you had any issues with cedar apple rust on your Crabapple tree and if so how do you handle it? We have one on our garden that gets it possibly due to our Junipers.
That would be handy Carl, if there's a Sorbaria that doesn't sucker.
So far I don't think the crab apple gets rust but I will look closely this year. One thing though is that it flowers beautifully in April - looks great but then after that it never looks very good for the rest of the year - I'm wondering now if it has a problem and now you've mentioned rust I'll have to read up on it.
Your garden is looking so lovely Paul. Do you have special ericaceous soil/compost in your azalea bed? I believe you need the right ph balance for that type of shrub. Also….do you soak the robin’s mealworms or feed them dry? X
Thank you Ellie. I buy ericaceous compost from the garden centre but also use the normal compost that I make - this is also suitable as it's slightly acidic.
I usually put a little water in the bowl with the mealworms - they will happily eat dried ones but prefer them moistened as they can eat them more easily.
However once the chicks hatch I will only feed them well moistened mealworms as the chicks need moistened food as they can't leave the nest to have a drink. 🌸
Hi Paul, great to see things starting to open up and grow. 😊 How/where have you been able to find a 'Quick fire' hydrangea. I have looked everywhere. I have seen them alot on the USA garden sites but can't find it in the UK, either in garden centres or online. I am giving up on Azaleas (they don't do at all well for me) 😢 but lovely to see yours
Hi Pauline, I bought all the paniculatas in that bed from signaturehydrangeas.co.uk
Golden Hill Nurseries.
I really recommend them - based in Kent. They arrived in perfect condition.
If you live close you can also visit.
Many thanks 😊
Quick fire ordered...😊😊
Fabulous - bet you're excited!
Always look forward to your videos. Your garden is just magnificent and a joy to watch. Btw, can you do a video on how to divide cannas in pots? I have Canna Stuggart but it always burns in the sun. Where do you place Stuggart? I also notice that your Stuggart has less growth compared to the Pretoria and my Stuggart is the least vigorous amongst all my Cannas. Can you share tips on how to grow cannas?
I’m very pleased you enjoy my videos.
Those are really good points and questions. I have had exactly the same experience as you with the Stuttgart. It was my first year with it and it did grow well, tall and flowered but it also burned in the sun and didn’t have that many leaves - unlike Pretoria.
It was indeed in a mostly sunny position - so this year I’m putting it in the back garden in a mostly shady position.
I’ll be splitting them as soon as I have time but I’m away on holiday shortly so don’t know when. I am going to put the new shoots back in the same pot with a really rich soil/compost and manure. I water them every day once the leaves are a decent size. Hope that helps and I’ll try and include cannas in a future video.
@@paultsworld thank you. I am in Melbourne if you can state the maximum temperature during summer at your end when you show Stuggart again. Cheers !
Normal Summer temperatures would be around 20 to 25c but we had 35c last year - which was unusual as I live near the coast.
😁😁😁🇨🇮🌻👌🌹
Thank you Rebecca!🌻
Beautiful garden. maybe a silly question I see you have a square cut out round one of your shrubs just wondering does it take a lot of weeding to keep it clear and keep grass and weed free just asking as I have a big garden I was thinking of doing it but was bit worried it would be a lot of extra work?
That’s a very good question and one I have pondered over.
It did take a lot of weeding until I put a good mulch of bark over it. However the blackbirds like to throw the bark off looking for worms. So I have to rake it back.
The grass does want to grow into the ‘square’ so I make sure the edge of the grass has a deep ‘cliff edge’ so grass doesn’t jump into the square.
I had considered lining it with stones flush with the lawn so I could mow over it. I think that would be a good idea but I haven’t got round to it yet.
Dear Paul, after this video I am absolutely convinced that your real vocation is poetry, just like mine is dancing. The video is really interesting, however, you seem to have forgotten to mention how to, well, eliminate the neighbours, their dogs, children and cars, not to mention talkative passers-by and other sources of noise while filming. I would rather avoid violence ... but if I become desperate enough, I might start handing out home-made brew of Digitalis purpurea ;-)
So nice of you Jolanta.
I can assure you that I can often be seen tearing my hair out when trying to film and every noise under the sun seems to be entering the garden.
Often I have to go inside and have a calming cup of tea.
Two tips I have…using a lavalier mic attached to my shirt with the camera or separate recorder on manual. This means my voice is quite loud as it’s very close to the mic but other noises are really faint.
Cars are a problem when I’m filming in the front garden. When I hear one approach I ‘play statues’ - stop what I’m saying, keep the camera still then once the car had passed I continue the sentence or maybe repeat the whole sentence. I then cut out the part when the car was passing.
Some RUclipsrs just carry on regardless and that can work too - as of course we all accept noise in our daily lives.
PS Brugmansia works as well, but with slightly different results 😆
@@paultsworld Thank you for the clarification! I am thinking of buying a mic which I can attach to my clothes if I am to stay here long-term. I have not decided yet. Sometimes I think there are too many YT channels anyway. PS. I seem to have seen a brugmansia somewhere in the neighbourhood :-)
The lavalier work quite well - my preferred mic.
@@paultsworld Thank you, I will check it out!
Cheap ones work well. Make sure it comes with a ‘dead cat’
Please say the truth....do you have 40 hours per one day? How can you take care about so big garden to make it so beautiful?😊
Thank you - I am pleased you like the garden. I actually haven't been doing much in the garden - the shrubs pretty much take care of themselves - although I did cut the grass and strim the edges.
@@paultsworld thanks for sharing with us)
You’re very welcome 🌻
