- A gardeners world; Nursery, gardens, propagation, plants galore and all the growing tips that go with them. A unique weekly documentary series filmed throughout 2020. A must for gardeners worldwide.
Informative, irreverent, funny and totally without comparison. After a lifetime in horticulture, Malcolm Hockham and his young team answer The Royal Horticultural Societies 2019 article that the industry is in crisis. Not here it isn't!.....Malcolms final full year on the nursery shows you why.
Some extra material from week 32 of the "English Nursery Garden Year" series....There was such a lot of this I couldn't decide what to cut, as I like to keep the weeks varied as possible. It was originally filmed the previous week, however, background noise from birds, tractor and mower rendered it unwatchable...
That bloody plant is everywhere in my new garden haha.
Does the old crocosmia corn not going to grow new plants? Is it discarded or you plant it? Thanks for taking your time to show us this week activities Malcolm. You have a great team there.
Thanks for the video Thomas and Liz... good info about the different varieties of Crocosmia, I have Lucifer which isn't doing too well, think its had too much water and not enough light but the Emily Mackenzie is thriving, I think it looks lovely. Montbreacia is a bugger though, its crept into my garden from next door and I'm always putting up corms.
Pretty plants. Thanks ! You two are great
Yes....I think they should have their own show these youngsters......Which has given me an 💡......Best wishes.....Malcolm
Another brilliant video...we have just watched the Hannah Hauxwell TV documentary from the 70s...just realised her farm was up by you..
This came in handy. Doing this now but didn’t know all these cool facts.
can you create new plants if you plant the old corms????
If that had been me at 11.28 the spade would have flicked up, giving me a face full of mud, whereby I’d have fallen on my backside in the stream 🤣 Thanks for the reminder Liz, when this heatwave passes I must dig my clumps and divide/pot. 🙂
I have a similar plant Schizostylis Coccinea (Kafir Lilly / Crimsom Flag) which spreads pretty vigorously by rhizome instead of a corm. It easily takes over the bed & gets into crevices. Is Crocosmia a much better behaved plant that doesnt spread as much?
Nice video! Are crocosmia easy to grow from seed? I collected (ok stole) seed last year from one at a park here in London Canada, I think it's a Lucifer. The seed germinated well indoors this spring, and I transplanted them outside, so far one is doing well (rabbits got one I think) Anyway just wondered if you grow them from seed...Cheers
Great advice from Mrs. Kay there. Nice vid!
Thank you Peter....and nice to meet you at the weekend. Thanks again for the Paonia.....I am going to pot it up and it will be one of the first plants I use in the Sunniside garden project next year.....Best wishes....Malcolm
@@plantsmanscorner128 nice one mate. Hope it fits in somewhere and survives :)
Do you bin old corms or try to regrow some or is it only fresh corms kept.
My Crocosmia Lucifer flower in December here in Sicily. I wonder why?
Are any of the Crocosmia available for sale?
Thanks
Two videos!! Woohoo!!
I can’t grow these at all... gardens either side of me have them, they just die in mine - very windy, high up garden
Thank god it’s Monday!!!!
I thought coleton fish are was a place ?
Ok got it just looked it up 😂
Lucifer seems to not flop if planted much deeper than other varieties.
I plant the corns to make new plants I guess you do the same.
Oi! Leave that Campanula alone!
No campanulas we’re permanently hurt in the making of this movie. Just seriously injured by farmers bloody great boots.....Best wishes....Malcolm
@@plantsmanscorner128 🌞 Keep on doing what you are doing....and thank you !
Who is the insensitive ass kicking the plants? I have as much disdain for someone like that as it appears they do for the plant. No place for that attitude in the garden.
What is the temperature
