Are you the author of "A Garden for all Seasons" by any chance? Your garden is so nicely picked and combined! Everything works together as pieces of a puzzle.
I had to look up the mentioned book, I can say it's not me that wrote it, my garden is a culmination of previous gardens I've made, and my love of gardens and design in general , I just love what I do, I don't garden as a job , it's my hobby but a hobby I wouldn't be without.
Glorious captivating gardens, your own personal taste is unique and very pleasing! Just a quick question, what do you consider the best of the earlier flowering miscanthus? BTW, you do give very good commentary! :)
Thank you for your kind words, with regards to the best early miscanthus. For me, it's definitely miscanthus samurai , it has a great leaf colour, which comes in early and is the first to send up its seed heads, it's relatively short making around 3 feet at best.
@@upatgrassybottom9859 'Samurai' is ideal perfect what I'm looking for! I saw the Andropogon in your video, there's a new one called 'Karl's Cousin' ... Hoffman Nursery shows two photos upon their website, I'm eager to obtain this new selection when made available!
I have to tolerate some weeds , regular hoeing helps as does planting heavily, which helps to keep them down. I used to be obsessive about removing them, but I now don't let them run my garden life. Mulching your borders helps, but it is not a cheap option.
Lovely garden. Just curious what zone you live in the UK? Seems you like to collect more dry loving plants. Here in my zone 7, I grow little bit of everything🪴
Dare I say it . . . ? I think your garden is at its best in Autumn!
Yes, it really is at its best
You've always said it...grasses are what your garden is all about. This season shows them off beautifully.
It's a great time for my garden, I'm already planning to add more grasses
Beautiful garden. Excellent structure.
Thanks
Love, love, love your garden! I would definitely come to visit one day, but now live in USA. Thank you for your podcast.
All the best,
Nelly
Thanks Nelly, maybe one day you'll visit.

I think it's zone 6 to 9, I grow plants for different soil requirements, and the ones for dry are in the gravel garden as its south facing all day
