Oh Bunny, I love that space…your such a mentor, thank you….I’m going to continue to make my space work for me…I have a sweet potting shed with great windows and a fenced garden and I love the idea of a hoarding bed. I’ll work on that next. Love your garden,
Great video! I have a “ hoarding border “, I have been calling it a hospital, there is the nursery for plugs and seedlings to grow on, the rehab for plants that I pull but aren’t ready to replant and the ICU where I give dying plants another chance. When I buy plants I remove the bottoms of their pots ( a great gardener taught me that)and leave them in the “ hoarding border” till i am ready to plant them. I lose fewer potted plants that way. My garden is small and sometimes my hoarding border is full and I will put bottomless pots, small ones 4-6 inches, directly into a bed where I may want to plant them. I inevitability forget about them, they take root, grow and look fine till winter when I see ugly little 4inch pots dotted around my garden!
So that's what it's called...a hoarding border. Have one and didn't know it. Oh how I wish I lived near by. We could have tea and scones and talk plants forever! Love your videos!
Oh if I could only spend a day there with you. What a wonderful idea of a hoarding boarder! I will have to definitely make a couple. I appreciate your knowledge and advice. You explain things so clearly and simply. Thank you Bunny!
What a lovely space 😍 I can see why you love to be there. I definitely need a hoarding border , I can see how useful it will be while I, like so many I imagine, redesign the garden to fit in with the changing climate. Many thanks 😊
Every time I watch a video I want to jump up and get going in the garden Bunny!! Such inspiration and energy.. I think I have somewhat of a hoarding garden going on here..behind a large boxwood I keep my pots of cuttings and experiments I have growing, and a small potting area..I shall definitely work at making it more efficient..Thank You!!
I think this is my favorite of Bunny's videos!! So very helpful since I'm making plans for a greenhouse addition to my kitchen. It was particularly good to know the approximate cost when the structures were built some time ago. From "across the pond" thank you for taking the time to share this with us Bunny! 💚
Pottering around, lol! I have a space under the shade of a huge old bougainvillea where I do my re-potting & planting. I take breaks there too, watching butterflies and hummingbirds drinking from the flowers and flitting around the garden. I have 5 Japanese boxwoods (the only kind that survive here), that that I salvaged and will someday make into a fancy hedge or topiary of some kind. Recognizing the identity of young plants (usually growing out of pots where birds or wind blew a seed) is key; I've ended up with mulberry trees, two kinds of native oaks, Mexican fan palms, eugenia bushes, epazote herbs, and some tropical mystery shrubs. And of course, my red nasturtiums and white alyssum come back every year. I figure volunteer plants have a will to live, so if it's something I can use or share with others, I put it somewhere it can grow without too much attention from me. We are definitely kindred spirits. I love it when I'm caught up enough on 'yard work' to play in the garden.
I’ve discovered so many seedlings that just appeared in various pots this year; I suspect I haven’t noticed before but now I’m so much more familiar with plant identification they’re more obvious to me! I’m excited to grow them on & see what they do 😊
@@bunnyguinness As you say, it's so interesting to see what grows in different countries and fills the same role in a garden. Buxus microphylla var. japonica is what we see everywhere in S. California. They can handle the heat and dryness, though I keep mine in afternoon shade. We are USDA plant hardiness Zones 9 to 11b.
Wonderful space! One of my raised beds has turned into a hoarding bed. The problem I have is that the plants love it so much there that when I move them they always die back and look terrible. Any advice on how to make the transition easier on the "babied" plants?
Love this video…and all of them. I inadvertently created a hoarding border in front of my house where I am foster parenting some shrubs my daughter was not ready to plant. Oh how I wish I’d built a greenhouse 20 years ago, but also it’s much warmer there than here in the northeast US. I am about to assemble a dome, so fingers crossed that it’s useful in my climate.
Hmm UA-cam must be deleting my comments. Its a polycarbonate frameless dome made of 150 panels bolted together. 15 foot diameter. You can see it if you search for “dine at dome” because they are all around the UK in restaurants. The shape works for wind, snow, and maximum sun exposure. No idea if or how I will heat it though.
Awesome Garden..... I have 30 gallon containers that have various types of fruit trees and grapes planted in them and the soil in some has gotten very low - Do I just top off the soil by adding it on top of the roots or do I need to remove the trees etc., and repot them. Thanks .......
Compost does slowly reduce in volume and so you find as it slowly breaks down you get far less air in it so it becomes very claggy and does not drain well. You really need to pull out the plant scrap off a decent layer of compost from the root ball, judging how much you can without harming plant and then putting in fresh compost. If you plant in baseless pots this is not necessary. Hope this helps. 🐇
Yes they would be fine there. Watch over them well after transplanting watering if they look limp and then you can move into final position when are sturdier specimens 🐇
I enoy your info but my complaint is...the Camera is always far too static. You deserve better...It should be capturing vistas/imagery whilst you speak....as in other videos from the US / France etc.

Thank you for your helpful tips. More thank you for this fabulous rose - this is a stunning sort of rose: Marie Paviè! I always enjoy your videos!
Absolutely invaluable advice! Thankyou 👍🏻💖
Love your garden I am green with envy 😊
Well said !
So that's what it's called...a hoarding border. Have one and didn't know it. Oh how I wish I lived near by. We could have tea and scones and talk plants forever! Love your videos!
Love your sunken greenhouse!
I think it is like winning in the lotteri when the plants grow from a seed or a cutting. And I have a wonderful greenhaus and a potting shed.
Oh if I could only spend a day there with you. What a wonderful idea of a hoarding boarder! I will have to definitely make a couple. I appreciate your knowledge and advice. You explain things so clearly and simply. Thank you Bunny!
I learn so much with your videos. Thank you so much. 🙏

What are Japanese boxwoods? Ilex crenata? Great comment thanks 🐇

Wow a dome! That sounds exciting, more info please!🐇

I have some Lunaria and hollyhock seedlings. Would a hoarding boarder work for them?
Yes they would be fine there. Watch over them well after transplanting watering if they look limp and then you can move into final position when are sturdier specimens 🐇

Did I hear you say to use glyphosate? Oh, ugg! That's a dirty word in the U.S.! So what else might you use less dangerous?
