Joe's Country Garden visits James Alexander Sinclair
I've been to visit James Alexander Sinclair - he’s a bit posh but great friend and fine garden designer. He moved to his garden nine or ten years ago, so it's an opportunity for me to get ideas and see where I could be in a few years' time. James is a plant addict, his garden is full of unusual and really interesting specimens, most of which he can remember the names of. We go on a leisurely tour of his garden while James explains his method, rationale and love of plants. It's a beautiful garden, full of wildlife and packed with interesting ideas. I hope you enjoy this tour as much as I did!

Summer Update - Self Heal in the Meadow Joe's Country Garden
Переглядів 8 тис.21 день тому
We've had some dry weather over the past few days and I've taken the chance to enjoy the garden between various trips around the country. Out in the meadow area, there are some gorgeous swathes of self-heal, or Prunella vulgaris. Call it a weed if you like, I love it and so do the bees. This is just a short video and also one of thanks, as I now have 10 thousand subscribers, thanks to everyone ...
Roses and Connecting the Woodland to the Meadow. Joe's Country Garden June 2024
Переглядів 10 тис.Місяць тому
It's been a rose-tastic June and I've been loving it. There are loads of gorgeous roses all blooming in the garden and I've been taking pics and will try and work out what they are. Meanwhile, the deer has been "helpfully" pruning off the lower branches. It can't get enough of the roses! I don't mind, and until I have veggies in, it's a garden to share with everyone. There's been a robin pickin...
Mid June catch up and I'm in the News - Joe's Country Garden 2024
Переглядів 12 тис.Місяць тому
I'm home for a few days in between trips away, so here is a catch up of the garden in June. The plants are loving the wet, although it could be warmer. Lots of orchids are growing in the woodland and the paths I've mown in the grass are becoming more clearly defined. Most important of all, there's been good progress on the hard landscaping - so good, in fact, that it's been in the papers.
Path update June 2024 Joes Country Garden
Переглядів 14 тис.Місяць тому
After a brilliant week at Chelsea, it was great to come home to my garden. Lots of new plants coming through and lots of progress on the landscaping. The woodland is blooming and I'm making steps to change the alignment of the garden so that it runs parallel to the landscape beyond. That means losing the railway sleepers so that the woodland blends with the meadow, and also mowing lateral pathw...
Landscaping Update Before Chelsea - Drainage and Paving at Joe's Country Garden May 2024.

It's the flower show season and I have been away at the Malvern Flower Show and am about to be away for Chelsea. It means I've come home to see great progress from Craig and Justin who have been working hard on the landscaping in the garden. The drainage is sorted and the paving for the paths is going down. So exciting! Anyway, I've made them a coffee or two and while I am here I am getting cre...
Wet wet wet rain stops play. Joe's Country Garden May 2024

It has been really wet, so although we made a big start on the landscaping, we've had to stop. Actually, it's been really useful for us to see where we have real drainage issues that we can put right as we do the hard landscaping.

Переглядів 13 тис.2 місяці тому
We've got really stuck in this week on the landscaping. With the help of a decent size digger and the expert skills of Craig and Justin who are great landscapers, we've taken up the paving and started excavating areas of the garden for the new path to the front door and my new seating area. Big changes and tough decisions made, but it is really exciting to have made a proper start. Let's just h...
Glorious Bluebell Wood Joe's Country Garden April 2024
Переглядів 9 тис.3 місяці тому
I've had a really busy week so it's been really special to be able to come home to my new garden and admire the gorgeous iridescent bluebells that are blooming in the woodland. There are camassias too, not to mention the first signs of some wild orchids. It's such a joy to have a garden like this and the perfect antidote to some of the more hectic aspects of my life.
Lifting and Dividing Perennials Joes Country Garden April 2024

Divide and conquer. I've been digging up and dividing perennials where the hard landscape is being changed. This is the perfect time to do this job and can save you a lot of money, creating plants for free (well with a bit of work). In this video I take a tour of the garden and make sure there is a bit less of me and bit more of the plants in shot. I'm lifting and dividing some irises and heeli...

Time for the archway to go. Joe's Country Garden March 2024.
Переглядів 11 тис.4 місяці тому
I've complained about the archway in the garden for months now and finally I can take it out. I do like the basic design of how it was built but in this video I explain why it's a mistake design-wise. The archway is going to a new home and I am going to keep the plants growing up it by digging them out and heeling them in. You can see how it's all done here. Sincere apologies for the sound - I ...
Reinvigorating the climbing rose Joe's Country Garden March 2024
Переглядів 10 тис.4 місяці тому
There's a beautiful pink rose climbing up the house but it needs some remedial action. This is partly because the scaffolders are about to set up, but also because this is an ancient rose with a massive stem but also some really vigorous younger stems. I'm going to cut away the old stem and train the newer shoots up the wall and around the window. It sounds drastic but a rose as old as this is ...

Early March walkabout Joes Country Garden
Переглядів 10 тис.4 місяці тому
The tree surgeons have been really busy in the garden and now things are really opening up. As well as bringing new views into play, all this work has really changed the flow of the garden from the broken up areas and lines that ran from the house to the boundary to a more lateral flow that is in harmony with the hills of the landscape beyond. Apologies for the noise - not just the chipper and ...

    Lovely garden. There are several types of persimmon. Some are more astringent than others. But like apples, good ones are lovely, bad ones are hard or pappy. Tend to sucker a lot. Green tree frogs love them here in Japan with their big shiny leaves. Stunning when the leaves fall and the tiny arboreal pumpkins dot the branches.

I bet the pair of you have some very funny behind the scenes stories to tell, you could do a video of you sat in a pub with a pint, though James would probably have a G-T, telling us stories, mentioning no names, with that schoolboy naughtiness you both share 😂😂😂😂 Great video👍
