Hello John, So good to see you. It really makes my day, and thanks for sacrificing the jacket for the Wren family.🌿
John does "do it his way"& we love it ❤️
Can’t believe you actually have a wren nested inside your jacket pocket. Love hearing their songs. Love your good cheer while in the garden. Thanks for sharing your playfulness. 👍❤️😊
Thanks again John. Been gardening for 50 years, but still learn something new every time I watch your videos❤
John..you re a tonic!.
John is in fine form today. Lol. Enjoyed it.
Your gardening philosophy is spot on. Just finished watching Garden Answer on RUclips and am always upset to see her put in so many plants that all require drip irrigation lines, hundreds of $ of Espoma products, and about $ 1000.00 of plants for another lovely little area….IN HIGH DESERT OF IDAHO, USA.
Your garden and true plant knowledge teaches all of us who want to learn ever more about growing our gardens well. Thanks for these wonderful videos.
That's that show with somebody called Laura? I despise that show and never watch it. She is merely a shill for all the companies to encourage you to buy all that stuff. It is all so fake.
@@laurenb6451Where is the love
@@laurenb6451 You're absolutely right, Garden Answer is a joke. It's just an infomercial for Proven Winners.
Love the way you allowed the birds to make their nest in your jacket John….priceless. Highly enjoyable video and looking forward to the next one
I like how he talked about getting rid of the thuggish persicaria, then praised the fast growth of his bamboo which is the champion thug plant of all time. 😆
The Wren my favourite bird. We managed to have 3 nests in 3 years. Managed to see some of them fledge as well.❤
Would you please do a video on all the varieties of trees. So many beautiful specimens.
John, you are the best! ❤️❤️❤️ Yes, I think that’s the wren’s jacket now, despite you having the receipt. 🤣
Well…you enticed me to purchase a pick axe and I love the thing. I can attack our North Carolina red clay like a champ. Mine has a blue handle so easy to spot in the yard. Guess a visit to Ireland is in order to have you autograph it for me! 😊 😂
That’s a good idea but I would bring a trowel from NYS.
Good luck trying to get a pick axe on a plane.
We just love John lord my husband loves his garden ,and the way he gardens.We would love to meet John we just love Ireland of Irelands.He’s the best gardener in the world in our minds.Can’t wait to watch on later 👋.Till next time.💟💟💟💟🌈🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴💚💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
"Restful ferns".
Love ya John Lord !
Smiles from Lake Tahoe, California
Just love your passion for plant life ☘️🌹 I learn so much just watching your videos id say you when you go to garden centres youll always try buy and revive bargain dieing plants . thank you John
The deer pruned my day lilies for me grrr…lol
A wren nesting in John's pocket... rent free. "The compost heap is only there"....that geranium has been warned 😂. Wonderful 😊.
Awww , the Little Wren in your pocket is so cute ! Love your channel ❤
I would so appreciate a tour featuring your red/purple shrubs. They are magnificent & create such impact!
Great job 😊💐🌸beautiful garden 🪴🌲🌲🌺
A wren in your pocket!? That's good luck that is, surely.
Im a limey with limey water, live in a hard water area and heard you can add citric acid to lower the ph, wondered if you would ever recommend it or not? Mainly for acidic type plants azaleas, rhododendrons etc..
Really enjoy your videos! 👍😊
Or vinegar
I use Sulphur Chips, and Suphate of Iron, to gradually lower the ph my garden here in UK. My soil is neutral clay but I am able to successfully grow Camellia Sasanquas, and even a couple of Camellia Japonicas by gently acidifying the soil around them.
@@laurelsayer7557 oh, I will have a look at sulphur chips too. Im noticing some of my plants (camillia too) are not liking the council plus tap water, they bounce back after rain but there's not been nearly enough lately. Thanks for the tip!
Again a new nice video 👍👍
Thank you for explaining why we remove leaves to reduce water/nutrient demand. I live in drought stricken northern Central Valley of California. I hand water far more than I enjoy doing.
So kind to let the baby birds have your jacket!
Such a fan of your gardening philosophy and style. Thank you for sharing.
Aaw .......the wren's nest ! 💛💛💛
Removing the leaves after transplant is a great tip that I have used recently so thanks for that John! I threaten my plants with removal on a daily basis! My hydrangeas got damaged with April cold snap so no flowers this year just lots of new stems:( I am a pushover with moving, I need to firm up. I was gifted a striated Solomon's Seal last summer and planted it with my hostas, hucheras and lily of the valley and they are just amazing.
Lovely video John and David, how cute jenny Wren in your pocket, your a good man letting her be😊 thanks for watering tip, I'll go out the back later and reduce some leaves. Your garden is absolutely beautiful. 🏴
Lol. Wrens always hide in my shoes outside at night. Hello from Florida ,wish we had your climate " temperate' it's hell's waiting room here right now.
OMG, the gardens look glorious!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who ' forgets ' to water in a dry spell . We started getting a bit of rain 2 weeks ago , and had a big last night , Praise the Lord . Thankyou John . Kay
Hi John!
I always enjoy your videos and learn so much from you. You planted a grouping of my favorite fern. I live in Portland Oregon and polystichum munitun ,the western sword fern is native here. It truly is a beautiful site. Yes very restfull to the eye. I cut back all the old fronds around march april time before the new fiddle heads appear. It is not necessary but I love seeing the light green fiddle heads standing in clumps on their own. I get plenty of new ferns in places where they are happy. Enjoy John. I will watch to see how they do in Ireland.
Always a joy to watch, and the humor is hilarious 😂
Such a shame about the daylilies. I’ve had to do the same to my roses a few times over the years to break the cycle of a thrip infestation. One year I estimated I threw 5,000 rose buds in the bin. What a heartbreaker!
Love your videos so much. I’m always learning something from you!
Cheers from Texas!
John, can you please comment on what varieties of physocarpus were seen behind what looked like a limelight hydrangea when you were cutting daylily buds? Love your videos.
As always John, brilliant and informative and funny.❤
Enjoyable video as always! The Wren in your pocket made me think of Hyacinth Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances: "I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE I THINK I'VE SEEN A WREN. I'M SURE IT WAS A WREN. I SAID TO RICHARD, "RICHARD, THAT'S A WREN!"
You just made my day 😆
Great enthusiasm love the videos
Great video John. I really laughed at what you said about that Geranium 'Tiny Monster' having to go on the compost heap if it doesn't repeat flower! Thank You 😅
John, I love your garden... ). ❤
Awww how sweet 🥰
OMG! So cute, nesting in your pocket. ❤❤❤.
Here in the US midwest, where we might go two weeks with no rain and temperatures in the upper 80’s or low 90’s, we have to water a lot or there would be no plants.
We get three or four months with no rain in NW Oregon. Water I must.
John is a ⭐️!
God I love this man, and the wrens were something else
I really enjoyed this video and tomorrow there is a hardy geranium that will be getting a major haircut! Of course seeing the jacket with wren’s nest was oh so super! (Husband just made me a wren house and we just hung it up - nobody wrente it yet.)
Yay John Lord
It's always good to see how the various perennial and shrub varieties do long-term in our gardens (eg. your interesting comment re H. Runaway Bride, mine definitely getting better too but disappointing initially, seems to need plenty of sun.)
Just love the garden absolutely beautiful thx for sharing
You do bring a smile to my face 🙂
I use every year pyrethrum by hemerocallis just before the flowers gone opening. It helps very well. This year no trouble I think the wet spring and winter had to do with it.
Pyrethrum was a genus of several Old World plants now classified as Chrysanthemum or Tanacetum which are cultivated as ornamentals for their showy flower heads. Pyrethrum continues to be used as a common name for plants formerly included in the genus Pyrethrum. Pyrethrum is also the name of a natural insecticide made from the dried flower heads of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium and Chrysanthemum coccineum. The insecticidal compounds present in these species are pyrethrins.
I have been growing a clump of persicaria polymorpha for 20 years or more. It is about 8’ around and has remained very manageable. New York, USA
Good to hear
Been dry here in middle USA too
You talk to your plants the way I do ! 😂 lol. The compost heap is only over there mate ya better reflower ! ! Larf !
I don't remember ever seeing any Salvia Guaranitica in your garden. One of my favorites.
Hi John
Hope you are well
Is it possible to visit your secret garden?
🙂💚🙏👍
Hi, John. For a brief moment you're around a combination of what looks like the scarlet Lychnis chalcedonica and a wonderful hot pink plant. Is it a Filipendula variety of some sort? Thanks!
😃☘
Since we planted trees in our bare field patch, and lat the hawthorne hedge grow tall, birds came. The Law says we can't trim hedges between February and September but birds can't read, and nest even in Winter; that's why your wren is there! Box grows fast, can't prune and keep them shapely because they're full of tiny birds They eat everything - except clematis!
Help. How do I get rid of bindweed?
Vegetable growing at our allotment needs loads of water, because of course everything except the fruit is planted out fresh every season. I'm wondering what the future for our allotment is going to be. 2023 isn't our first drought Spring , it's a recurring problem. What do you think John? Give up?
Persicaria polymorpha is not invasive here in the US. I grew it for years in Minnesota and it was fine until the Japanese Beetles kept ravishing it. Plants Delights Nursery and Juniper Level Botanical Gardens grew theirs for 10yrs at only a spread of 5x5ft.
Hi John
Have you identified what bug is attacking your day lilies only?
Yes it’s hemerocallis gall midge
I always enjoy your videos and thank you every time I pull out the mattock to use in the garden. You woke me up to that and it's allowed me to tackle some nasty jobs I never thought I could do on my own!
On those horrible critters infesting your daylilies... I've been battling them also (Western Washington State, USA). I don't remember when they first began to show up but they are horrible. I look for misshapen buds early on, pick them off and stomp them flat ... but I'm guessing your method might be more effective ... so sad though. :-( Would you be sure to let us know if that works next season when the buds come out? If you manage to break your cycle, I'd be willing to cut all of my flowering stems off for a year as well! :-P :-D
It would work only if your neighbours don’t also have infected day lilies
@@johnlordssecretgarden Doubt I could count on that! :-P I guess I'll keep using my method of destroying the ones I notice early on. They develop a different shape almost immediately ... kind of squat and wider at the base.
In 2016, I was with a garden travel group who visited Wales and Cornwall. We got to visit Plas Brondanw and I noticed those critters on their daylilies. I asked the head gardener who was leading us around what solution he'd found for that problem and he hadn't yet noticed there was a problem. I was able to point out the bad buds to him but came away without a magic solution. I guess there isn't one! 😕
Love your channel! You've created such a beautiful space there. I envy you the fact you rarely need to water. We get a lot of rain here but not during the summer months... despite clouds that can move in on us. We're across the "water" by ferry from the Seattle area (we live on the Kitsap Peninsula).
John what is the name of the gorgeous shrub with purple leaves and pink flowers behind you at 10:52?
I think it’s a purple Physocarpus
What was that pink and white combo by the miscanthus?

As a daylily collector, I shuddered to hear you had to cut off all your daylily blooms because there were insects eating them from the inside out! What kind of bugs do that?
Lilly beetles they are bright red, they eat your plant.
I had those in my last house and they destroyed Oriental and Asiatic Lilies and took some tastes of Trycirtis bit they were never interested in any daylilies.
@@colletteorourke4820 Lily beetles don't eat daylilies, since they're not true lilies. I had to pull out all my Asiatic and Oriental lilies the damage was too severe. Unfortunately the only way to eradicate lily beetles is chemically ( which I won't do ) since they can sense you coming and will drop of the plants and land on their backs making them almost impossible to see.
Is this commercial, or hobby?
John you are a Poet,and dont know it.
I don’t want my butterfly bush either
