    Hi Martha, I greet you from Romania and I am really glad I found you. I also love love gardening and I resonate a lot with your style, but who wouldn't? Your garden is a dream from heaven, a joy and delight to walk through.💗 Amazing job, congratulations! I can't wait to see the new bed next to the street come to life 🤩. I'll be here for sure to watch further...

    Wonderful video Marta! I'm here on the west coast of the US in Washington State. We woke up to sunshine this morning which is more unusual in winter so I'm pleased. I will be going outside to cut back the rest of my ornamental grasses that got smooshed by snow and ice a few weeks ago.

    I’m so happy to see your new gardening video this morning! I’ve resorted to watching your older videos on your Polish channel and I’ve really enjoyed watching them this winter, even though I do not understand Polish! Lol! I was floored when I saw your video on clematis and ordered Emilia Plater, Blue Angel and Betty Corning as a result. I live in Quebec, Canada and we’ll have snow until early May so it’s great to see other people garden wake up at this time of the year. Thank you for sharing your garden and knowledge! 😍

    So happy to see your videos again Marta. I've missed them. Here in Central Texas we have mild winters but often get days of freezes as well in January and February. So my pruning waits until end of February.

I love working in the garden and I love taking care of the garden, but I don’t like spraying and treating roses😀 My imagination constantly haunts me😀🕊️🕊️🕊️☘️🌺 Prosperity to your channel.

    This is the first time I've seen your garden Marta and I enjoyed it, despite it being February. I'm from Oxford, UK and I only have a small garden. It has quite a lot packed into it so I have to be careful not to plant over other plants and bulbs. I estimate I lose about 50% of my bulbs per year, so I just keep topping up in Oct/Nov. For now, I'm just keeping it ready for the Spring time and enjoying the few Snowdrops, Cyclamens and evergreens.
    I'll be looking at your other uploads now. I work with many Polish people at the BMW Mini car factory but I cannot speak the language, except for mostly swear words.
    Do Zobaczenia Marta. (I looked up the spelling).

    Hi Marta. My energy is dependent on the sun also. Here in Princeton NJ it's been horribly gray. 6 days of partial sun in all of January. Sun is shining today and I've cut back the old leaves of the hellebores. They will be happy to dry out the soggy soil and get the sunshine predicted for the next several days! What kind of lavender do you grow? I have fallen in love with it. Thank you for all your wisdom.

    Good to see you Marta. Spring can't come soon enough for me, unfortunately we are in the middle of a 3 day snowstorm here in Nova Scotia Canada. Happy to see you out in your garden. Love your videos.

    Hello Marta - and hello fellow Nova Scotian!!! Yes a 3 day snowstorm - it started snowing Friday morning and will continue until Monday! Up until then we had some snow-free days and I was able to get some garden cleanup done. As soon as the snow we are getting now settles down, I will be pruning some trees and so looking forward to Spring ! 🌻🌸

    Hi from Staffordshire 🇬🇧 so pleased to have found your channel. It seems like your weather is very similar to that of our weather here. Your garden style is similar to that of mine too, although you have way more roses and hydrangea than I do. I am loving watching, keep up the good work and thank for sharing your garden and tips. 🙏😍

    Hi Marta. Thanks for all the reminders. Lots to do in February where I live too. I planted allium bulbs about 4 years ago and they have spread so much. I think the blooms were smaller last year because of being crowded. How do you thin alliums? Do you just dig them all up and replant? Thanks.

    • @GardenwithMarta
      @GardenwithMarta  7 месяцев назад +1

      I think that I like the smaller flowers in abundance on my older bulbs. I always plant some new alliums so I can also enjoy those huge first year blooms. You can divide them in summer if you wish!

    I have a very young wisteria I think is 3 years old. Should I prune it the same way as the old one? I'm not sure where to start.

    • @GardenwithMarta
      @GardenwithMarta  8 месяцев назад

      When training a young wisteria, it's important to establish a good framework for future growth. Initially, select a few strong, vertical stems to be the main branches. Tie these vertically to a support, like a wall or trellis. As they grow, you can gradually train them to grow horizontally along wires or a framework to encourage flowering spurs to form.
      In the first few years, focus on building this framework, pruning side shoots back to 6 inches in summer and then to 2-3 buds in winter. This encourages the plant to form flowering spurs. As your wisteria matures, you'll want to cut back the new growth to a few buds each winter, aiming to keep the size manageable and to promote flowering.
      For unwanted stems, if they're not part of the main structure or they're growing in the wrong direction, prune them back to their base. Always remove any suckers coming from the rootstock and any dead or diseased wood. Remember, the goal is to balance the plant's growth while encouraging it to flower. Always use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts.
