    I love this guy style of gardening. He's a genius. You don't feel intimidated or overwhelmed and fun to watch. He makes me feel like I want to garden right now :)

    The GENIUS has struck again. The sound of that shovel moving with such PASSION is SO wonderful.

    I like his deadheading videos where hes kicking the spent petals with his foot or wacking them with a shovel! I have learned so much from this man. Keep up the good work!
    And thanks from America for keeping it real!

    I had to move my Alpine bed earlier this week, broke my heart to cut all the beautiful new flowers off, but I learnt that from one of your earlier videos Thanks

    I didn't know about cutting the tops off when moving plants but it makes total sense to do that. Good info. Thanks.

    John, I sure would like to make free with your discards. :) what you are discarding would be appreciated by many. I think, after the camera was off, you offered your customers free plants from the reject pile. A bit of mycorrhizae sprinkled on the roots and they would be fine is my bet. What do you think? Hope you will do a follow up later. Thanks and have a great week!

    Very helpful. Going back to the garden this evening to trim back a couple of things I moved today. "Their roots are stressed."

  • @carmenbailey8209
    @carmenbailey8209 5 років тому +3

    You are a high performance gardener. Extremely energetic, totally brutal with your plants. I have to be honest, I’m not sure I’d let you near my garden, even though you are a gifted gardener with vast knowledge 👍😫❤️

  • @katemiller6567
    @katemiller6567 5 років тому +1

    Staff's right behind you with rooting hormone and a hose. Gooood night... Didn't know the part about cutting them back so the roots can take hold, tho, thank you! God bless you and yours, in Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

    Alpines! I’m very fond of them, but its a bit of challenge to grow the cool weather ones in South Carolina.
    With experience comes bravery: knowing which plants you can divide; which you can prune; and which you must say “Goodbye” to. Thanks for the demo. 🌼

    Hello John, you moved a Japanese Maple 'orange dream' . I wonder if it recovered? If so, would you be so kind to walk by it in one of your future videos. Thanks. Greetings from the Netherlands.

    Can the trailing alpines be used in window boxes and hanging baskets? I’m choosing plants for a children’s garden. I have a 6 year old and 6 month old grandkids and want plants that stimulate all the senses so that even the baby can experience it as well. I’d love any suggestions from you or your other viewers. Thanks!

    "this one i definitely want to save"...well how about take your time, get a good root ball and water it straight away. No flinging it around like a rag doll and shaking all the soil off the roots. sheesh.

      We do gardening as a hobby and so we can afford to take our time. But for professionals, time is money and they cannot waste time playing around.

      If his method didn’t work after 40 years gardening I’m sure he would have found another one.
