That little bird steals the show! Amazing how well your garden looks in December. Thanks for the tour.
It is a joy to be accompanied round the garden. Sometimes the robin starts to chatter - just gentle ‘chuntering’.
I hope your tropical plants survive the winter! even in December there's still so much interest in your garden. the bird following you for snacks is very precious
Already this week is colder than anytime last Winter so it will be interesting but I’ll learn a lot about their hardiness.
Glad you like the little robin - I am so fond of it.
Thank you for showing me how to love and enjoy the garden in ALL its seasons.
You are very welcome Elizabeth - thank you for your lovely words.
Hiya Paul, The garden looks fab and great to see our little Robin he just loves getting into every shot. Love the drone shot just beautiful.
So pleased you noticed the drone shots, they’re fun to do - the robin is puzzled by it. Lol
Your garden is doing well even in that cold. Your eyes 😍 mote blue Paul.
Hello Alicia, so nice of you - thank you. 🌻
Love seeing you and your little sidekick. What a treat.
I love that - sidekick 😀. I’m pleased you enjoyed the video Christine.
So wonderful to still have so many plants to enjoy in Dec. Our Ceanothus and Choisya never survive for long here. Your little Robin friend follows you like a dog. So cute.
I used to have another really big ceanothus - was glorious - but it died and I had to chop it down and get the stump ground out. Quite expensive. I can’t leave the house without the Robin checking where I’m going! Lovely little thing.
С какой любовью вы рассказываете о своих растениях. Ваш сад прекрасно чувствует себя и при заморозках. Вам и вашему саду удачи и красоты в любое время года.
Thank you, you are right, there is a delicate beauty in the Winter which is lovely.
Paul ,thank you so much for the ROBIN. I came to the USA 60 years ago and have always missed gardening with a Robin in attendance. The American Robin is about the size of a Blackbird, it fixes you with a particulaly beady eye and looks permanently cross.Not really a bad bird just not the one I really want to see! The garden looks great ,always enjoy your videos.
I am pleased you enjoyed my video and the robin Eleanor and that it brings back nice memories for you. I very much enjoy its company.
Yes, the American Robin is in the thrush family along with blackbirds, fieldfares and the various thrushes. The blackbirds are also quite tame but they tolerate me in the garden whereas, as you know, the robin actively searches me out. Quite delightful.
What a wonderful way to start the morning. I loved the ariel shot of your garden. You are such an inspiration. Thank you so much for your channel. I always learn something. 🥀🌹🌿
Good morning Colleen, thank you for joining me - another nice frost today.
We had the frost too in deepest Dorset. Seeing how your garden looks makes me think that I need to do more tidying up in my garden. Good news I took a couple of late hydrangeas cutting which. I have kept on the kitchen window sill. I thought they were dead but had a little peep at one today and it has loads of roots..woooohoo
This frost has caught everyone - it even snowed a bit here this afternoon.
Great you did the cuttings - hydrangeas cuttings are brilliant - I have a couple in my porch right now - such satisfaction when you see those roots.
Thank you , it is wonderful to see your garden in all seasons. Tottenham, Ontario, Canada.
Thank you Lynda, glad you enjoyed the first view of Winter. Greetings to Tottenham - I once experienced minus 20c in Oshawa one December!
You are so lucky your garden looks like that in cold months. I am envious of the UK & Ireland. Have watched all your videos, amazing how much you have packed into your garden. Nice to see other people's gardens, especially in other countries, what they can grow in their climate. Ours certainly has gotten warmer but doubt we'll ever be as warm as the UK. From Nova Scotia - eastern Canada.
Thank you - I do appreciate our mild Winters although we can get blasé. Last Winter we had just two light frosts the whole Winter - then this last December the whole country got -5c from an icy blast down from the Arctic. Bit of a wake up call!
Glad you enjoy my videos and garden.
Regards to Nova Scotia.
Thanks Paul, you’ve given me hope for the survival of some of my plants. I felt guilty that I hadn’t cut my salvia amistad back or dug out my dahlias for winter storage. I’m just going to see what happens now and hope for the best. The garden looks so beautiful on a frosty morning.
Hello Ellie, plants are generally tougher than they look 👍. With the dahlias it’s not so much the cold but the cold and wet. My soil is quite free draining so I leave all the dahlias in the ground - if I was on clay then better to lift them. I have put some compost over the bed and might well put a tarpaulin over the bed if heavy rain is forecast but I’ve never done that before and they’ve been in the ground 10 years.
I put some compost over the base of the salvia but won’t cut them back at all, it’ll die back slowly and then I’ll tidy up in Spring. I find seeing what happens and hoping for the best is a good learning strategy - I do it all the time.
I live in the southeastern part of the United States and I am in Zone 9a as well. Thank you for sharing your garden this winter. You have given me some ideas for next spring. :-)
Glad you found my garden useful - we’re all looking forward to the Spring and everything growing again.
Very nice, paul!
Cheers Eric.
That was a lovely winter tour, a frozen over pond always looks beautiful and sad at the same time.
I'm always amazed at how often your bird friend spends time with you🥰
When did it started doing that?
I have now a fence pole in my front garden with a planting basket bracquet and a few bird feeding stations on it.
Sadly not many visiters yet, since I don't have a tree in my garden yet that can provide safety and shelter.
But I did a cutting a few weeks ago and bought rooting powder to make the cutting succesfull🤞
Yesterday I spotted our local Robin on top of our shed, these are my favourite birds aside from black birds💖
I'm looking forward to spring so that I can finally start making my Joel Ashton wildlife pond🥰😍
I have to dig out a part of the plants from my existing border to allow for enough width.
And maintain enough space to the right of the pond, for a pathway where we can walk with our bikes to the garden entrance.
It's very important to us, otherwise I could have dug a wider pond😆
I suppose it was a few months ago. I think it’s a young robin from a nest in Spring. Because I’m always moving pots or digging something up the little bird knows that there will be easy pickings whenever I’m around. If I wasn’t doing any gardening and it came over to me I didn’t want to disappoint it so I have a little bit of suet with me and I flick a little bit over to it. Now it accompanies me everywhere. It’s a great little companion.
If you’d like your Robin to come into the garden more often - and to help it through the cold Winter nights - buy some bird suet at a garden centre or pet shop. When you see your Robin flick one or two little pieces in his/her direction. I say flick because you don’t want to use a large arm movement which will scare it away. He might ignore it but just walk away. Once he gets the idea he’ll learn fast.
How exciting to be making a wildlife pond - my neighbour dug one in the early Summer and he had damselflies laying eggs in it after only a month plus lots of other pond insects arriving. Even I was surprised how quickly it started to establish and the pond plants growing quickly.
Yes, leave enough room for your bikes and pathway - all sizes of ponds are perfect.
Your garden looks lovely even in December. The Robin is such a sweet species. We are having a chilly spell -4 tonight. Have a wonderful Christmas ⛄🎄 from Germany
Thank you. It’s pretty cold here and it’s even started snowing. Have a lovely Christmas 🎅 and best greetings to Germany 🇩🇪
Thanks for the tour!
You’re most welcome!
Ваш сад хорош во все времена года!
Thank you - up to now a very mild Autumn but Winter just arrived!
very interesting, the water in the pond was covered with a very thick ice crust, it is interesting to observe and I planted low-growing violas for plants, they can withstand up to -8 frost, and they also bloom. Now the truth is they are already under the snow now I will see them only in mid-April next year. Thanks for the review.
Good idea to plant violas as they’re so hardy and will be there for you in the Spring. 👍
THANKS PAUL,WE MUCH APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF THE FROST 🤩🤩 and you have captured it for us 🤗💚💚💚
So nice of you - glad you enjoyed the beginnings of Winter!
@@paultsworld 💚🤗FROM A WARM HOUSE 😊 recorded we can watch anytime 👍💚💚💚
COINCIDENTLY , today in northeast Ohio USA I looked out, and we have frost as well😊
It’s a third frost of the week today for us in Britain - and another tomorrow.
@@paultsworld YOUR GARDEN SEEMS TO BE HOLDING UP WELL😊
Love the aerial shot, lovely.
Thank you - I hope to do more of them 👍🌸
I always enjoy your videos Paul as I seem to have the same taste as yourself in plants. I moved earlier this year and have a bigger garden so I can indulge my passion for hydrangeas the oakleaf hydrangea is on my shopping list. I also enjoyed your video on the animals that visit your garden at night marvellous!
Thank you Elizabeth - I seem to have quite a collection of hydrangeas, especially as I propagated my favourites last year. Thanks for enjoying the animals at night!
I feel that many of us are quite excited about the cold spell we're experiencing at the moment. Probably because of rising temperatures and the mild winter of last year. Your garden still looks lovely 😍 you really have achieved year round interest. 😀
That’s right - and it has just snowed a bit here. Glad you like the garden.
Beautiful Paul 🥰🥰
Thank you 🌻
Lovely tour! We are looking at snow-covered gardens right now. I love that you experiment with your plants. Happy new year Paul!
Happy New Year! I wonder when your last frost is being at such an altitude? I presume you don’t do much gardening work in the Winter - does it all stop when the snow arrives?
@paultsworld hi Paul. I stop gardening after our first hard freeze, which is anywhere between October 7 and November 15. This year it was closer to the latter. We usually plant pansies in October that pop up again in the spring. I do a little clean up, especially cleaning up leaves for my clients and plant bulbs in November. I planted bulbs in pots and in the ground in December at my place. Other than putting together a few outdoor winter porch pots, gardening stops until mid to late February, depending on the weather. We have had snow and a freeze as late as May 24 at my home. Not fun!
That is a long Winter. It's also possible for us to get a frost as late as early May, although normally it's a month or two earlier.
Looking good!!! The garden is going into rest mode(above the surface). Hope that you are still planning to do an upcoming video on hardwood cuttings. Thank you.
Yes, will do a hardwood cuttings video - I think the best time is later in the Winter in the New Year. 👍
Good Morning Paul, wow! that was a hammering frost. Looking good, I can see how you are already looking forward to Spring with so many first year plants in and the anticipation of seeing how the less hardy will fare. That eucalyptus would make some lovely Christmas floral arrangements. I would be taking my secateurs to that one! Thanks for a lovely winter tour of your garden. I would love the hydrangea pruning (for dummies) garden tour in Spring....😜 have a lovely festive season and Merry Christmas, Paul.
Hello Margaret, that’s right - I’ve never had so many ‘new to me’ plants - I love it.
Glad you enjoyed the tour - I’ll include hydrangea pruning next Spring - I find it quite therapeutic spending a couple of hours in the Spring sun, pruning all the mopheads and lacecaps. Now I’ve got all these paniculatas I’d better see what they want lol.
You too Margaret - have a lovely Christmas 🎄
PS Oh, definitely the paniculatas, please. Like you, I have "new to me" pannicle hydrangeas and I don't know what I'm doing and when! Help me please! 🤣 We have had several close shaves with frosts atm, tomatoes and zucchinis survive another day. ☃🎄❄
Because paniculatas flower on new wood I will just prune back as far as I want in Spring and they’ll zip right up and flower by July. (That’s the theory lol).
In fact isn’t that about now for you? Tidy them up into a ‘basketball’ sized shape, bit of food and stand well back. 😀 they’re not bothered by a bit of frost so no worries there.
Oh ! I didn't do that. I just took the flowers off because I was a scaredy-cat. NEXT year basketball sized shape. Good size description. Thank you for the tip and teaching moment.
Paniculatas will look fabulous whatever you do! I think the general rule is: heavy pruning = fewer but bigger flowers - that also may flop depending on the variety.
Good morning Paul,
Your hydrangeas cutting look great! Love your little robin in your garden! Your garden still looks beautiful 😍.
Morning Maria, thank you - that robin is always with me now!
You are a very passionate gardener and that is appreciated. I love hearing the birds singing, I feel immense joy in my heart. Here we are covered with snow❄️🌨️ since November 2nd, we are frozen🥶 I have my plants inside the house and my garage now, I have them with grow lights. Now I just have to be patient and wait for spring to arrive so I can get them out of this brutal confinement😝🤭💚💚💚🪴🌵🙋🏻♀️
You certainly know how to look after your plants in Winter but I can imagine the relief when you can let them all free in the garden. The birds will start singing in late Winter here - as you say, a lovely background sound.
Hi Paul, isn’t it pretty when Jack Frost pays an overnight visit and leaves his touch 😁 I was wondering if you have a certain type of moss growing between your pavers by your vehicle. I love moss. It’s also amazing how much life your pond supports for its size. As you know I am an admirer of your pond 😉 Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Hello Vicki, yes - just lovely textures when frosty. I don’t know the moss, it just grows wild - I had a sandstone wall built which is now getting moss covered. Makes the wall look like it’s been there for ever. My pond is a nice size - I think it’s 11 x 7 feet.
Here in South Oxfordshire we’ve had frost for two days and today woke up today to snow - not a lot but dicey on our country lanes! Always love seeing your videos and your good advice of leaving plants in and seeing what happens. 🪴⭐️
This frosty weather has gripped us all! I am pleased you like my videos and thank you for letting me know - it’s appreciated.
I like your editing style, cutting away to drone shot and back. Here in zone 8, I dare not plant Canna, Elephant ears ...
Thank you, I enjoy adding drone footage.
If you wanted to have cannas it’s easy to over-Winter - Cannas can just be cut down, dug up, put in pots with some dry compost and left in a dark garage over Winter. The very large banana leaf canna (musifolia) only cost me £10 in May so even without over Winter I think it’s worth just one good Summer and Autumn.
When we moved to Cumbria they said 'November is wet' (and how!) but December will suddenly be bright, very cold and frosty. A full plastic tub of water froze last night; everywhere 'white over'. still below zero. Took pretty photos, came in fast. Thanks Paul
Good that you managed to get out and take some pictures Wendy - it can be so pretty at this time of year - sounds like it was very cold overnight. It snowed slightly here this afternoon.
Nice vidio.. Salam hadir saudaraku
Thank you.
It's still looking beautiful, frosty coats and all. Which lace cap is the cutting up the walk, it was just lovely. I'm looking forward to longer days coming back the end of Dec. 😊
It is a nice lacecap Wende - It was from my sister’s garden - but she doesn’t know its name unfortunately.
It’s sunset here at 3.50pm so I’m also looking forward to every day being longer!
@@paultsworld
3:40 😱 and I thought 5:00 here was bad. 2 mins more every day 😊
Have a wonderful weekend.
Ha, ha - we’re paying for those really long Summer days right now!
@@paultsworld
This morning the frost is so heavy, looks like we had a dusting of snow over night, which I don't mind. It's just after 8am here, and a beautiful sunny morning it is.
How lovely. ☃️ ☀️
Western US native plants such as Ceanothus (a.k.a. California Lilac) and Penstemon will not thrive unless their growing requirements are met: they ought to have excellent drainage, moderately alkaline soil, no fertilizers of any sorts, and absolutely no summer watering. Drip or sprinkle irrigation in the summer will quickly finish the plants off. 😳
That’s really interesting- thank you for the info on those plants. In Britain we have a good amount of rain so no one uses irrigation but I do water my penstemons as they are on a total rain shadow from a fir tree. Following what you’ve said I won’t be worried if they go dry next Summer.
@@paultsworld Romneya or Matilija Poppies is a stunningly beautiful and very hardy California native plant that you might be interested in growing in your gorgeous garden.
Lovely idea - there are some wild self-sown Welsh poppies near the shed. I’ll make a note of the varieties you’ve mentioned.
