Rosy, you are without a doubt my preferred plant professional on YT, for both content and delivery. I am SO grateful to be developing my gardens in an era that offers access to the knowledge you provide with such ease and generosity. Thank you for your work. I have watch thousands of garden videos. I found you via Alexandra's great Middle Sized Garden channel and have become a bona fide Rosy Hardy fan! 🤸👏You have helped me immeasurably. US z6b/7, Washington state.
Thanks so much Rosy. Will start clearing out my polytunnel soon. I know just the place to put the pots outside. Really appreciate these question and answer sessions. I learn so much from them. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Rosy for your advice!
Thank you Rosy for your update on Gaura. I live in Harper woods Michigan and I enjoyed learning about Gaura from you last year. I kept the crowns protected but thought I lost all 3 plants after a harsh Winter here. I now know to cut back and leave them to come back later. Thank you again for good information.
Absolutely brilliant advice as always 👏👏👏
Oh ….. thank you Rosy, 🙏 that is incredible advice, your right, 🔮 I do only mulch once a year in summer and never think about it later in the year. I have and will scrape away the majority with my hand help soil scraper before I mulch …… WHEN IT STOPS RAINING ☔️ 😅 thanks ever so much pal,…. Kim 🌱💎🌸
A thanks for this q and a. I notice you choose from questions from all areas - not just the temperate zone you guys live in. I really appreciate that. So you answer my questions too and I grow in usa zone 5 b. I notice some others talk about plant problems only for their area so it is interesting but does not apply tome.
100% agree on the zone 6 shrub question. I am also in zone 6. Recently I’ve noticed that big box stores use large banners saying “Fall Is For Planting” to encourage the practice, since many people do think spring is best.
Re: plants under acers, I have Japanese painted ferns, a few kinds of carex, forget me nots, hostas, and smaller spring bulbs, like you recommend.
Thanks for the windy garden suggestions Rosy - and you’re not wrong about Norfolk! 😆💨
Rosy, well of science on all gardening matters!
Thank you so much 🙏, that is very helpful advice! Yes you are 100% correct, the cold (sorry I forgot to convert, ~-10.5 C) was indeed followed by an ice storm. We have this weird climate where it's normally mild during the winter but we're near the Columbia Gorge, which will occasionally funnel blasts of cold, dry wind from the interior into our city and during the transition between cold dry/and mild wet, we get ice storms. I think I'm just so used to it that I forgot to mention. Climate change is just making normal patterns more extreme 😢.
Much appreciated, Rosy. Cork and items like liquid seaweed isn't as available outside of the UK unfortunately. I found Gerbil bedding and insulation cork, mostly for around €15/ kilo, which will cost a fortune in all the pots. Any brand you can recommend that I can look for online? Tiny bags of vermiculite are around €9 here, yet I could find big bags of unfiltered pizza oven insulation vermiculite for €25..! I wish the UK would go back to shipping overseas! Hadn't heard it isn't green. Will definitely look into that, as I'm trying to grow veggies and herbs as well. Best not to?? And what is your favourite plant ever? 🌿👒🐦
In Canada, I get vermiculite and perlite from building suppliers (used in swimming pool construction), and chicken grit from farm suppliers, because we can’t get that here. I can usually find powdered seaweed or kelp at garden centres for not too much.
Find your Q&As really helpful.
I started some ami majus , Larkspur ,cornflowers etc last autumn and over wintered in unheated greenhouse . I lost quite a few to I think damping off they just drooped over and died , any suggestions . Thanks
Sounds like you did not have enough ventilation
Those are hardy annuals. They can be sowed directly in place in autumn and they will overwinter no problem outdoor. I have often sown poppies, cornflowers, nigella, and other hardy annuals directly in the flowerbeds in autumn and got thriving plants and beautiful flowers the following spring.
@@pansepot1490 Quite agree
Thank you!
Thank you Rosy I’ll definitely give it a try this year
Thank you Rosy!
Thanks so much Rosy
Wow, I’ve never heard that vermiculite is unsustainable. Cork is not a product I’ve ever seen in the US. Is there anything else you’d recommend as an alternative?
Hi Rosy, do you any plants ideas for a "hot effect" border that is in shade please?
Yes Alstroemerias, Begonias, Crocosmia, Hemerocallis
@@rosyhardy18thank you! 😊
Hi Rosy,
Im in the midwest, US, zone 5. Our little one year old male dog has been lifting his leg on our boxwoods. Some have yellowed near the base. The varieties are Green Mountain, etc. As the weather warms here I’ve put low fencing around them. Will they eventually die? Is there anything i can apply to save them?
Dog pee is not good for shrubs you can wash the leaves 🍁 f it is fresh. Otherwise cut off the damage and hope new growth will appear. Putting in an area just for the dog in the garden is good and training them to use that patch only helps future proof new planting.
Any recommendations of where to buy the cork products from please? UK
Cork store 24 is who we use
@@rosyhardy18 thank you
Please, Rosy, I really need help with my dreadful clay soil! What is the most successful way to plant in it??
It is always right plant right place. So the plant choice needs to be more of what you see in neighbours gardens or the countryside. Organic matter x 10 and more will over the years help
Thanks Rosy, but do you mean lots ot organic matter in the hole you are planting in, or to dig it in the top foot of the soil before planting?
@@margaretcraggs6713 I mean all of that and as mulch 2x a year
@@rosyhardy18 thankyou
I’ve also heard that planting the crown slightly raised above soil is good because excess water will drain away. We’ve used manure and plenty of mulch, as well as leaving the autumn leaves in the beds and the soil is far better than it once was.
Thank you !
