Following a visit to the carnivorous plant nursery not far from where I live (Hampshire Carnivorous Plants : www.hantsflytrap.com), I thought you might like to see the plants I bought as an addition to the garden. These are quite hardy and could stay outside for most of the year. They are happy in some sunshine and like to sit in clean pure water. Thanks for watching - please subscribe, share w...

After Some Work - A Full Garden Update
The garden looks great! Thank you for the great video! It looks like a lovely place to relax with Mojo and a cup of tea!
The sun doesn't get to where the bench is until the afternoon this time of year so it's normally a glass of wine. (I don't drink tea - only coffee.)
Your garden is looking beautiful Roger. Lovely relaxing video. Thanks for sharing. Xxx
Thanks - and you're welcome.
Thank you Roger.I enjoy watching the bonsai progress.Looking forward to your treatments in Spring.❤
You're welcome. There will be some to repot and quite a bit of trimming/shaping to do in Late Winter/Spring.
The garden looks wonderful. I love the ferns that soften the area. You now have a relaxing place to spend time.
I've always liked Ferns - especially when the fresh new green unfurls in Spring.
Thanks for the tour! Do stones covering the soil help prevent from having weeds? I am thinking of what to do with my soil. It’s there for humidity, as all of my outdoors plants are in pots, wood…
The gravel beds help keep weed down but they are almost impossible to stop altogether.
Garden is coming along nicely.
Thanks.
Thank you for the nice tour! It’s lovely to enjoy the four seasons.You seem to have interest all year.❤
You're welcome. Many of the plants were gifted so it's been interesting this year to see how they grow and bloom.
Nice chat Roger. I have thyme and campion in tubs in my garden - the campion by accident - but never thought of using them as ground cover. Considering I detest weeding I should get them in the ground! 😂
Much of the Thyme has self-seeded and is excellent ground cove that blooms - the bees love it.
Love what you have done with the garden, look forward to what happens in Winter
It was a mess when I got here and now if feels like a 'proper' garden.
These supports (rustproof y long lasting) are so helpful. I am using them for growing peonies in pots on my patio. However, for a quick y reliable purchase y return, Amazon Prime (6 supports for USD $16.00) is my choice. Not too sure about TEMU so I never would order from them. 🥳🥳🥳
I'd already seen the results of this purchase on another channel so was confident for this item.
Hope they work out. Fortunately, I have a local discount store locally that carries stakes and other garden equipment. Be careful of your back when moving the plants around.
They will certainly do the job of holding the Michaelmas Daisies upright.
They look quite strong.Hope your back behaves during the transport.😊
If it's not too cold today, I'm hoping to get out and do some work in the garden.
Roger, I always try to watch the ads on your videos for you, but this time both ads were much longer than the video! One was 14 minutes, the other 11!! What in the world are they thinking? Sorry, I do try to help you. I know you have no control over things like that. It’s just not fair for you. What are they thinking??
If you come out of UA-cam and go back in, you're often presented with different ads. No-one should be watching ads that long unless VERY interested in the product.
I will get some of these stakes for my delphiniums next year. Thanks Roger. Xxx
They seem good quality - I hope they don't go rusty.
we'll take some of that rain here in Western Canada :)
Plenty to spare at the moment.
Foxgloves are one of my favorites! I don’t have apricot colored so will be interested in seeing them bloom next year.
At least some of them should bloom next year as long as they get a good 'start' now. They will be an unusual colour - interesting.
Foxgloves are biennial. The plants die after the second year. They will bloom next year and reseed like crazy. A beautiful plant.
Don't make 'statements' you can't back up. Many hybrids are perennials and bloom year after year - I have some of those in the garden already. The native species is biennial - I also have some of those.
Wow. Ok. I just unsubscribed. For the next person who comments and may have misinformation, please be a bit kinder such as… “Actually, some foxgloves are perennials. I hope that you found this information helpful to your growing.”
I enjoyed hearing the rain on your video while I was hearing rain in my own garden. The difference is we really need rain.
It can be distracting on videos though.
Beautiful butterfly and bloom Roger!!
Thanks.
Beautiful butterfly and also beautiful bloom on the clematis. My passion flower is just starting to bud. Can't wait for that. Also hope to get at least one butterfly on my budleia, now that it's coming in on its second round of flowers.
My Buddleias haven't done very well this year due to lack of food but since starting to feed 'properly' they are putting on a lot of growth now so more blooms soon.
Thanks for sharing that little beauty.
You're welcome.
Hi Roger. Great work on your favourite butterfly. Close enough to see her drawing nectar from the flower. Thanks heaps for sharing. 🌏🌏🇦🇺🇦🇺🫶🫶
Thanks - and you're welcome.
Hi Roger! What you have in your grow room is Pelargonium (common name geranium). What you have outside is Geranium, true Geranium. Just thought would clarify to avoid confusion. 10:48 common name is yarrow, genus is Achillea.
Thanks.
I love butterflies. Thanks for sharing Roger. Xxx
You're welcome.
Isn't she lovely!
Sure is.
Beautiful!
Thanks.
Both are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks - and you're welcome.
What a lovely garden space you have made! I wouldn’t want to go inside either. I love that you have many interests and can tell us about the birds and butterflies in your garden.
Now we're into September, I'll be starting to use the bird-feeders again soon - probably once the Cymbidium staging comes into the growroom and makes some room.
I’m coming over from your orchids to catch up on your garden and bonsai channel. You and Hannah have done such a wonderful job with the garden, you’ve probably increased the property value of the place. Your landlord should love you!
The garden was a bit of a wreck when I moved in - the agents had done a very rough job of 'tidying' as the previous tenants totally neglected it. Most of the hard work is now done so just maintenance now - Hannah loves to help in the garden as she lives in a flat so has no garden herself.
Be careful once the bench is painted black. Black as you know absorbs a lot of heat. A cushion will help 😎
Thanks.
I love the shed...that is definitely a patina on the fence and the shed. The felting will be perfect for it. As my daughter would say (computer nerd) "Mom, it's not a bug, it's a feature!" Garden looks excellent...I think it is possible that the Michaelmass Daisies are just getting a bit less light than they did in Carol's garden? I have noticed plants of mine that react in that way. Thank you for all your hard work, and for sharing the lovely results. 😊
This year was a matter of seeing what grows best in what place. Some things may get moved and/or split in Autumn. I want to give some plants to a friend who gave me plants at the start of this year. Apart from a few more containers to be planted up, the planting is now done. Next year will be just maintenance and of course enjoyment.
Amazing transformation from the time you first moved in.
Most of the hard work was done last year so this year has been mostly maintenance. It's now a much more enjoyable place to be.
If you can (and if the table is large enough) I suggest moving the table to the center of your deck, and sitting the bench on top of it. Paint it first. Then no bending to do the legs, etc. Do the table top after the bench is done. Just a thought…
That might work - it would save so much bending. Thanks.
Thanks for the tour. The shed and fence look fantastic.
You're welcome. Once the bench and table are stained black, that will be the end of that type of work.
❤
There is always weeding to do! The garden looks better and better.
Thanks. With the weeding, the seeds that are germinating this year should be the worst of them gone. Eventually the legacy of the previous tenants will be gone.
Things are looking good. Your landlord is lucky to have you tending the garden.Would you consider painting the bench blue? The flowerpot next to it seems give live to your corner.Black will be nice too.🌷❤
I'd prefer all the wood items the same (black) and keep the blue for the containers - I will be getting some more of those soon.
Have you considered planting dahlias? The bees love my dahlias.
Super for us that you got to capture both the seated colouring and that in flight - wow, how very unusual indeed.
They rarely open their wings when landed so the only time the colour shows is when they fly.
Things are looking good.The shed looks better.The stain will add protection.I am amazed how easily some of the ground cover self seeds on your gravel.❤
I'm hoping that finishing off that corner 'completes' the major works.
Things in pots need feeding. The new compost only has enough food in it for about 6 weeks. Stuff in pots from last year won't flower as well unless it's topped up with some fresh compost with say fish blood and bone added, then liquid feed with tomato feed while they're in flower. Anything that has flowers needs tomato feed and non flowering plants in pots need ordinary liquid feed. You can't expect 2 big buddleia in a pot to be successful without food. Also use your left over orchid feed instead of just the hosepipe to water. I did keep telling you about mixing the phlox and daisies up 🤷♀️ 🙂 Also Hannah has actually done the correct thing with the wisteria if you want flowers next year. In August the shoots should be pruned back to 5/6 leaves, then back to 2 leaves in December. Perhaps she Googled it and decided to ignore you 😄. Your rose needs feeding too. Lavender and thyme are doing well as they don't like much food. You may reduce the top of the ivy for a while but the underground runners will still be there unless you treat with weedkiller and that's difficult without affecting the geraniums. Things are doing ok but the pots will go downhill without food and you will be blaming the plants for not attracting pollinators when they need energy to produce flowers and perfume.
So the slow-release pellets with the short-term boost that have been applied regularly don't do any good then even though it specifically says suitable for 'Tubs and baskets'?
For hanging baskets that are only needed for one season the slow release added when planting up in fresh compost is enough, but if you've got larger plants in pots that have been there more than a year then no they're not enough just sprinkled on the top, even regularly. They are SLOW release. The plants, whose roots have probably filled the pot anyway need a good start in Spring with a top dressing then regular liquid feed through the season. Read what it says on the bottles. You don't have to take my word, the performance of the plants will tell you.
All the tubs got a real feed today - takes longer using the watering can.
👍 😊@@RogersGardenandBonsai
That shed is looking a lot better. When it's all said and done you will be very pleased. Have a great day 😁
Thanks.
Nice to see the progress on the shed.. Being that it's August, some of the plants are scantily clad but will soon refresh. The groundcovers seem to be doing amazingly well in all of that gravel y I think you have made some very good choices in plants there. You might make the birdbath more accessible for the pollinators or add another watering "hole" in the center of the garden for them. Especially since it's been so hot. The garden is looking great, everything considered y your wine will probably taste better while sitting out in it🪴🦋🐝🍷🍷🍷
The only problem with the ground-cover spreading to places it wasn't planted is getting to areas for 'maintenance' - we do need to walk in places to get at other things. It's not often, so a bit of trampling will have to be accepted - some will recover quickly. The slow-release pellets I've been using to feed the tubs may not be the right choice although it says it is a suitable feed for 'tubs and baskets'. I'm hoping to get the shed finished before it rains Monday night into Tuesday.
Such an interesting contrast in texture to most garden plants.
Although most of these are hybrids, the species I believe are from North America?
That was pretty impressive! Such a change in Color from the top to the bottom of the wings. Thanks for showing us 😮
That's the 1st larger Moth I've seen in the garden and the 1st one of those ever.
Great job focusing on that guy. I did catch the underside and a completely beautiful array it was. We don't have those in the U.S.We do, however, have a Zebra heliconius (sp.) which is slightly similar but only found in tropical regions, e.g. Florida peninsula y southern Texas. 🦋🦋🦋💖
We also have a Garden Tiger and a Scarlet Tiger as well as the Jersey - all have the bright orangey-red under wings.
How lovely!
Pity they always close their wings when not flying.
Something new for us to see! I wonder if we have them in the states? Strikingly marked, aren’t they?
We have a couple of other Tiger moths as well as this type.
Beautiful moth!
Certainly is.
Always something new to learn, I love watching your little trees and how well you tend to them.
Thanks.
