    Although my new place is out in the country and likely my husband and I will be the only ones to see it, I plan to interplant flowers in all my beds. I won't distinguish between the two, since flowers are crucial for the pollinators AND for my pleasure.

    At first, to my untrained eye, your borders look similar to overgrown weeds and plants. Then as you explain it, I'm able to see it for what it is. It's a functional and beautiful display of symbiotic relationships In the garden. Very well done. Thank you for the knowledge.

    I was delighted to see your Elephant Garlic. I had no success with expensive ornamental alliums due to apparently our winters not cold enough so this year I planted the much cheaper Elephant Garlic as an alternative so I am looking forward to see the result this coming summer 😊 Enjoyed this video, thank you.

    Hi Liz - yet another interesting vid. Thanks. An ex-trampoline pole? - I never thought of you bouncing up and down on such but - you never know these things! Love your decorative and practical mix. Your idea for corner 'perches' to sit and linger is a good 'un. I love and respect your attention to pollinators. When we arrived at our new home, pollinators and birds were more or less absent. Not so now. It matters' doesn't it? You've given me more than a few ideas. Thanks again. Every good wish as always - Paul

    You have an edible paradise that would make the angles sing... love how you talked about sacrificial plants that attract moths that in turn support a whole lot of other birds and animals. Your seat idea is so practical. The allium flowers make the polytunnel plastic look pretty.

    I adore orache. Such a beautiful plant. I‘ve been hesitant though because all my allotment neighbors consider it a noxious weed and where I‘d put it is along the outside of my plot. I‘m afraid that someone might try to spray herbicide to get rid of it (not that herbicides are allowed, but unfortunately that doesn‘t bother most people here...)

    All those beautiful flowers and vegetables are a great way to bring such beautiful wildlife and colors to the garden . I really want to give this a try next year. One of the first big bushes you showed was called red ? Something it looks like a small tree and you were saying the leaves are edible. I’m hard of hearing and the subtitles say it’s called red orange . Is that correct . I would love that plant 🌱❤️

    • @LizZorab
      @LizZorab  3 года назад +2

      I plant overwintering onion sets in October and November to grow slowly over the winter months and then they give an earlier harvest next year than sets planted in the spring. They are grown for the big bulbs.
