So I’m not crazy! One year, I severely cut back my container pot honeysuckle. It had completely covered the trellis behind it, and looked so ratty once late fall came and it had lost many of its leaves. The spring after my radical cutback, it all regrew, densely no less, and exploded in blooms nearly its full length, like yours! Another great aspect to cutting severely is that by doing so, it’s trivial to transplant or move your honeysuckle and separately, your trellis, to wherever you want them to be! A thousand likes!

Hi, do you not need to cover the bulb over with soil.

But if we leave the top full of leaves, they bend because of the weight. Thought?

That's a great trick. I think Month Don showed that one a few years back. I use up old galvanised wire left over from fencing. Look forward to your emails every week.

Beautiful gardens. Full of admiration for the gardeners who do all the hard work maintaining them.

My first sowing of echinacea didn’t germinate, I then read that they need to be sown on the surface as they need light to get them started. Followed that advice a week ago (chucking the rest of the packet of seeds into a pot similar to the size of yours 😂). Within a couple of days I had seedlings growing! Amazingly fast when you get it right. Rudbeckia are another type of seed that needs light to germinate, took me 3 goes before I got that right and then only because I contacted the seed seller to complain about non-germination; the surface sowing advice was not on the packet but no free replacement, unlike the larger seed sellers who always replace seeds that don’t germinate in my experience. Enjoy your weekly newsletters, many thanks for those.

That was mine ❤❤❤❤😂

How did you make the area a blank canvas? Strip turf? Glyphosate? Smother with plastic?

Well done. I'm always amazed at how much people charge for jobs like this.

Very straight forward and helpful, thank you.

for the amount of rain, why is grass brown?

Hi Laura, thank you for this very informative post, I have an orange tree which I suspect would follow the same regime, I have had it about 2 years now and the same small orange is still on the tree, as it is inedible should I discard? I keep it in an unheated porch but have put it in my greenhouse this spring, my problem is it flowers nicely but any fruit just falls off when they are tiny, I’m not sure what I am doing wrong, any suggestions?

I've grown a lemon tree from pip from a shop wanted to see if it would work well it's 2½ years old now and doing very well but it haves spikes as I know naturally they ment to be like that as in shops they bread out, how long does it take to get fruit on my tree

Hello! Yes don’t worry the lemons always start off green, and stay green until they reach their full size when they gradually turn yellow. This process can take a couple of months so just be patient! Once they turn yellow you can pick them off as you need them, they’ll stay quite happily on the tree for weeks at a time, so there’s no need to pick them all at once - just pluck one off when you need one. The tree will actually flower and fruit simultaneously throughout the year, but mine tend to come in different waves, so some trees will have mainly ripe fruit (like the one in the video) whilst others will be going through a phase when they’re mostly flowers or very young fruit. Good luck with your tree - and have you seen my comment below about not being in too much rush to pot it on? Best wishes Laura

@the3growbags451 Hi. I purchased had a lemon tree from the shop with some large green lemons already growing on it. Since then I had new bulbs coming out and they are slowly growing. I noticed in your video that the lemons on tree are already yellow from the start. I’m wondering will my lemons eventually turn yellow or will it stay green. And when should i be expecting to harvest them? Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Radha - that’s a really good question (for English speakers Radha is asking what size pot to use) and I’m sorry I didn’t include this information in the video. When you buy a lemon tree you shouldn’t be in too much hurry to pot it into a bigger pot. You’re going to be feeding and watering it regularly so it will be quite happy. If it starts drying out too quickly after watering then that’s a sign it needs potting on into a bigger pot, but only use a pot that’s a bit bigger than the original one or else the roots will sit in soggy wet compost for a long time after watering which it won’t like, especially in cold weather. For this reason it’s better to pot on your lemon tree in the spring, so its roots have time to grow and fill the pot and are able to reach and take up all the available water before winter sets in. You probably only need to move your lemon tree up into a bigger pot every two to three years or so as they are relatively slow growers The eventual pot size is really down to what you have room for, and to keep it from outgrowing its space you can trim back its roots by a third then repot it in the same size pot again, but if you do this you must also trim its top growth back by a third too, as the reduced root ball will struggle to support the same amount of foliage. I hope this is helpful, Best wishes Laura

Dank u wel voor de duidelijke uitleg. Ik heb wel 1 vraag, hoe groot moet de pot zijn?

Mine arrived today and ive planted it on my very hot sunny all day south coast balcony, i put it in a large pot for now under a trellis where i have 3 other Clematis blooming & growing beautifully from a planter. The Apple Blossom has no blooms yet but its leafy & im very happy with it from.Gardening Express for £22 , its got a lot of healthy dark green & new bronze leaves & tendrils , its about 5ft tall. Looks great with the other 4 plants im training along with Rose &, star Jasmine on the other trellis, i will eventually train them to arch over the balcony . Thank you for the video i was looking to see if there were any tips for the Armandi

Elaine, your garden is gorgeous. My Clematis this year are the best they've ever been.

An absolute delight to attend today & purchase from the shop. The event was fabulous & we enjoyed every garden , everyone so friendly & welcoming 💚💚💚👩‍🌾👩‍🌾👩‍🌾

Your garden looks wonderful. I hope the weather improves for the open day. Wish I lived nearer as I'd definitely want to pay a visit.

Thank you Jo - it’s a silly amount of work but I do love doing it!

Wow! Elaine you should be very proud of your beautiful garden.

The N.G.S. garden was my favourite and I also liked the Bridgerton one. You were so lucky to see the gardens in real life.

Lovely film, pity about the subtitles!

What a pity this is unwatchable because of the horrendous echo in the greenhouse. Could not finish video.

Fantastic! Thank you for the video.

It's absolutely gorgeous.

I really love your video and here are some reasons why. First of all, your garden is absolutely beautiful. I feel so doubtful when I watch a video and their flowers are all dying and they haven’t even cut their grass in about a month, lol. I’ve watched a lot of videos as this is my first year to really get into gardening. Your tip about filling the soil a couple of inches from the top so you can water it well enough was a great idea. I hadn’t thought of that yet. And I love your idea of using the sticks for the trellis! I have so many trees around here that I’m constantly trimming the branches off of. And not only is it a cheap solution. It also looks wonderful! Thank you for the good advice. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos if you have more.❤

My pole bamboo is growing out of control. I’ll try out the steps you suggested. Great video.

So one needs to cut it back to a height of about a couple of feet or more? Is that all.? And it'll grow back all the way up in a single season?

Mine are indoors but look a bit leggy, should have put them in their own pots, just moved so space was an issue. ill try and move them asap, great to watch the videos, thank-you.

I had great luck with starting the seeds this way. Thank you!

So clever! Thanks for this 👏👏👏

So nice

The Erigeron is going to love its new home. I have a fondness for this plant as it grew everywhere in the walls and steps of my hometown Helston, Cornwall. Always brings back happy childhood memories.

Great idea, do the leaves grow back? How often do you water in summer when it hasn’t rained?

0:15 I was at a complete loss on how to sow these seeds my son and I purchased for Earth day. I thank you for the both of us 🫂🦋

Excellent tips and you present very well! Thank you!

Tulips are looking really lovely. I've had great success with the ones I bought from Morrison's supermarket. They were called Rainbow Mix and Pink Mix and they were really cheap. They've been the best out of all my Tulips this year. I was very surprised at how successful they've been.

Tulips look lovely, thank you for sharing 😀🌼

Thank you very much for sharing 🌷🌱🌷

I wish I'd seen this video 2 weeks ago, mine are in a module tray on a heatmat in the pop up greenhouse, hopefully if they ever germinate I can follow the rest of the advice!

I used little pellets for my seeds this year, I will definitely look at wool pots to pot them up. As I don’t have plastic pots anyway so might as well start off with a biodegradable option. Thank you 😊

Very interesting 🐑🐑🐑

Wow what a wonderful tutorial ❤ my sprouts are 6 in tall maybe I can harden them outside Thank u so much !

This was really good. Thank you. I have never had much luck getting sweet peas to germinate, however I think my timing was all ways off before. In my area it should be just about right now and I am trying them again. I'll do as you suggest with germinating on wet paper, sealed in a box, in a warm place. Cheers!

I am located in the prairies in Canada, this is my first year trying to sow my own sweet peas. I have potted my seeds but I don’t have a greenhouse. Where should I store them? We are still getting lots of snow. We have lots of direct sun in my kitchen & bedroom , should i keep them near the windows?

Can you give a tough timetable for this? I know it might vary a bit from area to area but a rough idea would be great, thanks

Thank you so much for this very informative series on Sweet Peas! Well done & beautiful results!
