- * Garden Greetings * Welcome to April flowers in sunshine and showers, on a tour around our containers of tulips, daffodils, perfect spring perennials and wildflowers, bringing joyful colour to the blooming, bee-busy spring garden in our small plot here in Kent, South East England (Zone 8). Thank you for watching and wishing everyone flowerful times and nature-soothed minds.
* WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE *
O, how this spring of love resembleth
The uncertain glory of an April day,
Which now shows all the beauty of the sun,
And by and by a cloud takes all away.
‘The Two Gentlemen of Verona’ Act I, Scene 3, lines 85-88

You have one of those voices that I find really relaxing and I could listen to you all day. I love your garden tours seeing all the pretty flowers and the bees. I always try to get in my garden every day even it's just for ten minutes. I find it so therapeutic and it's amazing how quickly things can change. Great video as always. Thank you for filming. x
Thank you Wendy for your kind words and for sharing your enjoyment. So much can change daily in the garden, there are always surprises as well as the restorative effects of nature. Sending best wishes for happy garden therapy!
Lovely, charming, and soul soothing...
Thank you for watching and enjoying, sending our best wishes.
Beautiful Garden, Beautiful camera work, Beautiful voice,, Beautiful descriptions.
Thank you for such a beautiful message! Sending our very best wishes.
Thanks a million for another beautiful video, and a specially for putting the names, found so many plants thanks to you 👩🌾🙏about time, I can only garden 15 minutes per day, after serious health problems so I began to work 15 minutes a day and still do. Thinking about it it’s nearly 2 hours a week, I found that I appreciate time more and the tasks themselves and my garden looks even better ( it’s not big)👩🌾🪴🐞enjoy spring😊
Thank you Annette, so sorry for your challenging health problems but your approach to coping with those limitations to create an even better looking garden through shorter daily sessions is inspirational. Sending our best wishes.
What a glorious color filled garden. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you Amy, so happy you enjoyed our tour!
Glorious !!
Thank you so much!
I used to live in Kent but now I am in Kansas City which is a zone 8. Took me a while to adjust to the zone differences. I do miss gardening in England. Whenever I am outside and working in my garden I listen to all of the bird sounds and soak up the weather and think of my time past in Kent. This is such a gentle video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for such an appreciative message, and for sharing the way birdsong and gardening connect you to your time in our part of the world. There are some beautiful Nyssa sylvatica in gardens near here to admire in Autumn, which make me think of the Kansas landscape. Sending best wishes from Kent.
Small snatches of time are very valuable! I once read of a man who restored a Victorian house by working 15 minutes a day!
Wow, that is a truly impressive and productive use of time! Sending best wishes.
Thank you for such a beautiful video. It was a pleasure to watch and listen to the birds and music in the back ground
We appreciate your lovely comment, thank you so much for sharing your enjoyment.
I really appreciate your timestamped menu. It must take a lot of time so thank you.
Hi and thank you, Deb. Sending best wishes.
@@ApplePeaFernSeajust added Glandora to my wish list!! Definitely getting that one.
@@debwatts2035 It is wonderful!
Labai gražūs pavasariniai žiedai, akys džiaugiasi bežiūrint😍
Thank you for sharing your enjoyment!
Great video!! Love your garden. Love your narration. Have you considered writing poetry? Your narration is like poetry.
Thank you so much for sharing your appreciation with such a lovely comment about our garden and the narration! I do enjoy reading poetry.
Monkey-peas (slaters) I have found mostly only eat decaying matter. Maybe the corms started to rot out and they are eating the rotted matter and were cleaning the tubers up of rot.
I have numerous slaters in our garden they haven't become a problem, to our plants. I did find a lot in our raised veg garden once and noticed no veg had been eaten. I then realized they were eating old roots left in the garden bed from previously grown veg.
Happy gardening! I enjoy your garden and always have loved planting in containers with seasonal colour. When we downsize seasonal pots will continue to be seen in our garden.
Your suggestion that slaters are consuming the rotted exterior of the tuber makes such perfect sense given the high levels of rainfall. They are such cute little garden helpers, I didn’t like to suspect them of damage! Slater is a new name to me (because the segments of shell are like roof slates?). Enjoy your garden, it looks so charming and relaxing, and you have some fabulous containers to start your next garden too.
Another lovely and informative video 😊it certainly has been a wet spring so far, here’s hoping for a dryer warmer summer☀️
So happy you enjoyed the tour. A dry, warm (but drought-free) summer sounds a perfect prospect on these chilly days!
Always a pleasure to be in the garden with you 😊
Thank you for joining us and best wishes!
I enjoyed your garden tour a lot but it was also nice to have a glimpse of how you grow your cosmos; how you dealt with the affected cyclamens and the phlox under the apple tree. Could you, please, share with us more content of how you grow your plants and all the steps you take to come to all the gorgeous blooms you show us each month?
Thank you so much for sharing your enjoyment and thoughtful suggestions with us, if of interest our video on ‘How to Grow Cosmos From Seed’ is here ruclips.net/video/qtJOwaVsU6s/видео.html
@@ApplePeaFernSea I've already seen it. It is very instructive, indeed!! I slowly work my way through all your videos ☺
I grow different types of daisy's in my garden.. thank you for sharing the Bellis perennis white. Hope to find one to grow. Love your beautiful garden.
Thank you so much! Enjoy expanding your daisy collection and sending best wishes.
