    Thank you for the late winter inspiring video Rachel. I also started weeding now. Section by section doing. My garden is new and small. I live in Essex, London. Moved to this new plot in June 2021. Planted only few Shrubs and 4 small trees last year. We clay soil. Last year I put around 100 bags of farmyard manure and organic compost to improve the soil.
    When we moved to this plot our backyard was a blank canvas with green lush grass.
    Slowly creating my new garden now. I love gardening. I cannot wait to get into the garden.
    Last year I managed to grow vegetables. Used my old plastic Garland 1x1m square 6 raised beds. Harvested lot of produce and shared with my new neighbours and relatives and friends. I felt so happy.
    I have 5 different Hellebores in small plastic pots. They are flowering now. Looking for the right place plant them.
    After watching this video I am going to cut the leaves. Previous years in my old house I always cut the leaves in autumn. These are small plants and and it was very cold so I didn’t cut the leaves earlier. The leaves don’t look good now. They hiding the flowers.
    Now I have confidence to cut the Leaves and enjoy the flowers.
    Love your video

      100 bags of farmyard manure is a real investment in the garden and it's wonderful that you had the foresight to do that. I feel your excitement for the growing year ahead in your new garden and I wish you all the best. Thank you for your comments on my videos. By the way, I'd get those hellebores into the ground. They always do so much better in the ground than in pots. Happy growing.

    Rachel, Rachel your garden is beautiful. I love Hellabores and have several myself. Your video came at the perfect time, my Hellabores are blooming and I was removing foliage through the blooming stalks. My Snowdrops are blooming also. I live in Maryland on the east coast of the US and are plants are bloom at the same time! Your zone is warmer though, I'm in zone 7. I think one of the big differences in our climate is summers are very hot and humid here. As always, love your channel, I learn and you put a smile on my face. Thanks

    Good morning Rachel, I’m watching before work this morning and congratulations again on teaching 50k which is amazing and well deserved 🎉 I think we need to see February gardens (even if you think yours is a mess, which I don’t think it is myself) because it gives encouragement to everyone that it’s normal at this time of year. Beautiful hellebores, I’ve never planted any but I must and now I know how to look after them with your tip no.1 😊 your snowdrops and Iris look beautiful too. I wish I had more room for compost bays but I did start filling large sacks of leaves in autumn so I’m hoping they will break down nicely and I can use that on the borders in maybe 6 months or so. Thanks for sharing all these great tips! Have a wonderful day ❤

    I never get suckers with my D. Jacqueline Postill, but I've had loads of seedlings which I've lifted and potted up. Agree about the Sarcococca Confusa too - like the Daphne it has an amazing scent. I have also planted several Camellia Sasanqua in the last couple of years and some are nicely scented with beautiful flowers to tempt you out between November and March. Planted hundreds of iris and crocuses last Autumn and they look wonderful now too. (Followed your advice re tulips and planted masses of those too so can't wait until Spring for those!)

    • @GardeningatDouentza

      Isn't that strange about the daphne. Mine is the divil for suckering but the up side is that I get plenty of baby plants. Camellia sasanqua, now there's a nice plant! Your garden sounds amazing with so many beautiful spring bulbs and tulips to follow.

      Plants in pots can be planted out any time from spring to autumn. Bareroot plants should be planted in spring or autumn. Most spring-flowering bulbs should be planted in autumn, like alliums, tulips, hyacinths (see videos listed below). Snowdrops can be divided and replanted 'in the green' after flowering (see video below). Hope this helps.

      Funny you should say that because just yesterday I found my daphne was alive with bees! The hum echoed across the garden and, as I was showing my grandson around, I was even nervous to bring him too close. I also spotted a ridiculous orange bumble bee on one of my crocuses. He was so fat he bent the flower cut completely to the ground 😅
      Arnold's Promise is a great witch hazel too and, personally, I can't tell the difference between it and mine.

      Hi Aine. Each arch has four wooden legs. These fit into metal drive-in fence posts. Obviously you need to buy ones to fit exactly. Ours were put in by machine. As far as I recall, one machine held the post straight and it was tapped in by the digger. The arches don't move at all. We painted the metal posts the same colour as the arches for appearance sake.
      Last time we replaced the arches, the metal posts were still serviceable.
