Hello from Alberta
Canada. Love your cha
nel. Thanks for all the great information.
I can't imagine why anyone would leave mean comments on your channel. You have a ton of good planty imformation and a killer sense of humor too! One of my favorite channels! Be well, be happy, be blessed.
Thank you 😊. Some folks are just like that 🙄
@@SheffieldMadePlants you raised the bar and they cant compete. Keep on doing what makes you happy
Shame on the person who was negative about your misfortune. Appreciate your honesty and integrity. Hugs
You’re honestly my favorite plant channel on UA-cam, not only are you very knowledgeable, you’re also funny and charmingly British 🥰🥰
Wow, thank you!
Interesting about how you started. I find you to be easy to listen to. You have a nice voice and you seem well rooted and calm.
Thank you so much!
I agree I enjoy listening He has a pleasant voice (:
Thanks for your bio. I am 75 and learn much more from you. Stay well. We all need you.
I appreciate that. Same to you
Glad to know you are doing this full time. I'm in southeast USA and have learned ao much about caring for my plants from watching your show. I'm not one to watch many UA-cam videos, so I appreciate the way you get to the point. I do like the way you are precise and concise. I find that so very helpful.
Awesome thank you!
🍃 This was FUN! Thanks for sharing with us! I wasn’t expecting to cry because all I do is laugh with your videos…. It touched me when you said you didn’t think you were good enough for UA-cam…. And you just quit your full time job last month!!!!!! I didn’t think I’d come to Sheffield’s channel for plant care tips, laughs AND motivation!!!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Aww thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
@@SheffieldMadePlants soooooooooooooooooooo extremely proud of you, friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🍃🫶🏽
I'm so glad your UA-cam channel is doing well, it has helped me soooooo much with my houseplants and I love the shopping trips. Ignore any bad comments as you are brilliant...informative and with a great dry sense of humour. Keep it up.
Thank you so much!
I just had to tell you that my Monstera Deliciosa finally made a leaf with 10 fenestrations and THREE HOLES!!! I’m so pleased! You wished me lucked and it worked! Thank you!
That awesome 👏
I enjoyed learning more about you. I love that you didn't think you'd do well on UA-cam. Yet here you are...KILLING IT! Congratulations on quitting your job and following your passion. That takes courage, I admire that. Although I live in Atlanta, Miami is my favorite place here in the US. Thanks for all of the great content!
Awesome thank you very much!
I really like all the information you have to sharing. Your very honest and simple to understand. Thank you for your helping me with my🎉plants. I love all my plants.
Thank you 😊
Oh my gosh, I love seeing this side of you! Thank you for teaching me about plants!
Thanks does tuning in!
Yes your videos are quite entertaining with your sense of humor, love watching to see what you have to say about different plants
Thank you 😊
Hi Richard, nice to meet you. I had floor plants when my son was little,😂 he used to drive his little cars in the dirt and hide his soldiers in the leaves. I'd find them when I was watering my plants.
Then when he needed more space, he'd take the earth out and put it on the rug 😮 and drive his cars there.
He's 23 now I've been wondering 🤔 about getting floor plants again.
hahaha, I remember using my mothers plants the same way when I was a kid 😃
That all sounds very familiar! 😂
I would think they would be safe now!
That’s so cute!
Years ago, my son and his father used to always find a reason to drive over my strawberry plants. It was a disrespectful thing to do. I gave up trying to plant something outdoors.
I am much more of an outdoor gardener than house planter, but Richard is such a matter-of-fact, funny, corny, kind of youtuber with a wonderful accent and just a lot of great tips for anyone who loves plants that I watch every video. Thank you!
Awesome thank you 😊
congrats on your career! 💗 you aren't only a plant expert, your editing skills are also great. i'm sure it takes a lot of work
Thank you 😊
Thanks Richard, for this video! I love your deadpan humour. I'm Australian born and I love the way you tackle the tricky UA-cam videos and debunk them. I've learnt a LOT from you. Cheers from the countryside of rural Victoria Australia 🌴🌱🍁
Awesome, thank you!
There are many informative plant channels around, but your candor, humor and humility place you and your channel higher than the rest. I’ve been an outdoor gardener most my life, but i’m blaming covid for turning my bathroom …well and bedroom..into an atrium. Thanks to you, I am armed with grow lights, moisture meter, ph tests, gnat stickies and rounded the rest of the space out with heaters and humidifiers. My favorite plants: Alocasias and Monsteras-(I need the monstera to boost my green thumb confidence to handle how temperamental the alocasias are)Also like calatheas, marantas and peace lillies-i guess the jungle look best describes it. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable space to learn about plants. You bring a smile🪴💕
Awesome thank you very much 😁
What a journey! Always follow your heart and your family will have a life that others only dream of.
Love that you are able to stay home and work on the plants and your U-tube.
Me too!
I think if you're going to do a day in the life vlog, you should do a day in when you're doing all of your plant chores or on a day that you have a lot of plants to water and care for.
Succession! YES! So sad it’s over. I don’t know when you filmed this so I won’t ruin the finale for you. Yes to Breaking Bad too! Thanks for sharing your life with us, Richard. 😊
Nice to meet you, Richard.
So happy to hear you that UA-cam has become a full time gig for you. You are my go-to plant guide!
Good job because I won't get to see it till Friday!
Thank you 😊
I enjoy watching your videos, it's very comforting. Got a lot of plant tips and tricks from you.
Thank you 😊
so you're now a full-time UA-camr! it must great to break free and pursue your own path! good luck
I'm very blessed!
Excellent content, love the droll humour bits. Plants rule! 🪴 💜
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much I appreciate you being so open and honest. Truly enjoyed this video. Spent a week in Sheffield and it too was an interesting city. Sincerely, Violet
Glad you enjoyed it!
Its nice to learn a few personal things about someone whose videos you like.
Glad you liked it 😁
Enjoy your videos and very helpful on keeping my plants happy, Nice to hear about you and your family, Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Will do!
What a lovely little “coffee chat” to get to know you, Mr. Richard! You are def one of my favorite UA-camrs these days and I enjoyed this video very much.
I have a “mutt accent” too. I was born in South Wales, and we moved often as our Dad was in the British Army. Most of my time in the UK was spent in West Yorkshire (our Mum’s stomping grounds), but we also spent time in Portsmouth (Dad’s from Portsmouth), and other places in between… Germany too! When we immigrated here to NY (long island), my English accent was loved my tgecsvhool kids but it got annoying quickly, so I learned to speak with an American accent…. My British tongue comes out when I am excited, lol…. It is always pointed out with surprise when people hear it…. Because they already realize that I am ‘“not from around here “, lol
Thank you 😊. Wow you've seen a lot of the world!
Thank you so much Richard, I’m glad you’ve told us all your name. I really really appreciate your taking the time and effort to bring us all this video. I really really can’t imagine anyone being rude to you at all. Your videos are fabulous and fantastic too, and I really really love 🧡 them all. I find you incredibly easy to watch and listen to as well. You’re my go to video for houseplants every time. I do watch others too. Pleased stay safe and well too xxxx Mags
Thank you 😊
Congratulations 🎉 👏
You've had an interesting journey to this chapter in your life story. It's always interesting to take a look back at times and see just where we've been and where we are. Yours has been very diverse!
I love your humor and your attention to the details.
Put in a pond that will distract your three year old, he'll be so dazzled by that he won't care about the plants 😂. 🪴🌿🐦🦎🐸🐢🐟🏞️
That's a very good idea! Glad you like the videos
CONGRATULATIONS on your career change. Really enjoyed your Q&A. Thank you for so MUCH plant help!!!!. I was telling my husband that I like/choose whose video I watch sometimes based on the sound of that person's voice. I get a lot of headaches.
Your content, thoughts, suggestions, and calm voice make it easy for me to watch ALL of your videos. I believe you to be an honest person in your recommendations and over all content regard PLANTS. I have 16 PLANTS. Also, I asked my husband not to buy Bananas, they attract little, tiny flying bugs. Yes i have the Yellow butterflies in my pots now!!!! So much to learn.
I used to buy a plant google care info and go from there. I found out that is not enough information and my plants died. With IG and FB in two months I have learned a great deal. I feel more confident now. I do agree that we should start with smaller plant purchases. I have had a veggie garden few years ago, it was a Fantastic Garden I even grew a few watermelons and pumpkins.
I also watch BBC as well. I watch more of the British TV Series then American shows.
Glad you all got a chance to come to USA : )
May God continue Blessing you and your Family.
Thank you 😊. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
I'm really glad I found this channel (only yesterday) Instantly became one of my favorite plant related channels.
Awesome thanks!
I am a fairly new viewer...I have to admit that I have the same love for plants..I love to shop in the ICU areas of Lowe's or wherever ...Lol .. love the idea of getting them back to their best selves...I so appreciate your channel and now your back story. Although I love your Q&A ..I love the knowledge that you share. I am 76 yrs. young and I am still learning about my love of plants. TY so much.
Thank you 😊
Glad to see you still like Everything Plants--you once commented on a video there and that was how I found you. I like both of your channels. Keep putting out the stuff you do and I will definitely keep watching!
Awesome! Thank you!
I don't usually watch these types of videos but I started and could not stop. It was so relaxing I thoroughly enjoyed the calmness with which you spoke, the honesty that you showed when you put yourself and your family in this very public forum.
Thank you and Best Wishes. Keep the plant tips coming.
Glad you enjoyed it!
After viewing this video, I found a nursery online and purchased a Philodendron Pink Princess. I received it yesterday, and I am thrilled. It was described as a 3-inch plant, but indeed, that could only have defined the size of the pot because this plant is a very nice size. I am in the United States, and the cost was only $20.00, including shipping! I love your channel.
That’s really good 👍
Richard how delightful to learn these things about you. Thank you for sharing. I am in Key Largo US and have been enjoying all your tips and sense of humor. Never realized you were so tall! Again thank you for sharing a bit of yourself❤
Thanks for watching 😁
You have become my absolute FAVORITE!! I can just click on your videos and let them auto-play for hours while I'm doing chores or messing with my plants.. It's the best!! Thanks for all you do ✌🏽❤😊
Great stuff 👍 thank you
You will always be Mr. Sheffield to me! Keep up the good videos, and your humor kills me! Thanks Ritchard.
Ooops.. Richard 😮
Thanks!
Hi Richard! I just got into plants fairly recently and found your videos. I love your content and this was great to get to know you a bit more on a personal level. I’ve been wondering about your accent too!
Glad you liked it!
Love your videos, you make plant care so much easier.
Thank you 😊
what an interesting career path....glad that your wonderful UA-cam has turned out to be good for you & your family!!
Thank you 😊
I find your videos besides being interesting, captivating and instructive also very amusing. Love the way you present emotions and situations. In the video "My weird Journey to being a Plant UA-camr' you mentioned that the Philodendron Pink Princess is an expensive favourite of yours. I happen to have one in my collection and would be happy to send you a couple of healthy cuttings for you to propagate. I do need instructions on how to properly box and send them to you.
Thank you 😊. I’ll end up buying one soon I think. Wouldn’t want to put you out!
nice to meet you, richard! love your shows.
Thank you 😊
Thank you sharing a bit more about yourself and your family. I've been watching your videos for a few months now. I love your sense of humor and really like the way you present information. It looks like you found your niche. I hope your channel continues to grow and wish you and your family all of the best.
Thank you 😊
The indoors/outdoors "division of labor" between you and your wife is a good thing! That way you aren't fighting over garden space or indoor space.
Until you decide you need a greenhouse. 😬😀
😬😬😬
This was just wonderful... learning about the human behind Mr. Sheffield!!! It's an awesome pleasure to meet you, Richard! My UA-cam feature is on 'Plant One On Me': Episode: 237... I recently discovered your channel, maybe 3 weeks ago. In that time, I've learned even more about my plants. It's your dry humor that keeps me tuned in. Sometimes, I just watch your videos on repeat, lol. I'm sure I've seen all of them. I enjoyed Monty Python and The Benny Hill Show, so go figure, lolz. Also, I've been shopping in your Amazon (US) store. My planty supplies have increased in quality. If I wasn't already, you sent me even further down the house plant rabbit hole. I look forward to seeing more of your content. Best of luck, health, and prosperity to you, Mrs. Sheffield and your family. 🙏🏽🪴👋🏽💚🌿🌱
You’re a legend! Thank you 😊. Glad you like the videos
I'm so happy you're here to stay 😊 ❤️🙏
Cheers!
I love your plant videos. In fact, I follow many of your suggestions. I purchased the Easy Peasy Indoor Plant Food you suggested and the tap water conditioner. Thank you for providing us good, solid info that we can use to keep our cherished plants healthy.
Thanks for watching 😁
You have such an awesome personality and a very likable person. I don't know why some people would have unkind words to say about you. I can't imgine that. Your information is so helpful! I learned a lot from you. I love your beautiful plants. What I love the most is when you say " your babies" that shows me how much you love your plants. Because I am the same way they're are "babies" I care from them daily I even talk to them sometimes lol, yes i sounds crazy but I'm not lol. I love plants and gardening. It's like a therapeutic for me when I look after them.
Not crazy at all 😁. Thank you for the kind words!
Congrats on the new career! Real nice to get to know you more and thanks for the quality plant content! 💚
Great stuff 👍 thanks
Richard, I loved your Q & A video! I love your dry sense of humor too. Wow, 6'6" huh? You are very tall! I'm 5'3" so, I'd fall over backwards trying to look into your eyes. LOL. I've learned a lot from you and enjoy your videos a lot. The fact that you always answer your commenters shows you haven't gotten "too big for your britches" ( an American Southern saying ) LOL
😂 Thank you 😊
I've learned a lot about plants from you. I realized I've been killing my plants through the years. Now I'm trying to nurse a couple of them along . I live in the northeastern part of the US, which also has a dark gloomy weather pattern. Thank you for your help.
Thank you 😊
I really appreciate the content and vibes of your channel. Learning a lot!
Glad you enjoy it!
You have become by far my favourite channel, you should come to Barbados and see the plants we have here.
I bet you’ve got lots of nice ones outside!
I don't even have plants YET but this channel is awesome 😎!
😁
Thank you, Richard! nice hearing a tad about you. I live appx 45mins from Tampa, Fl. We are entering in our rainy season, so that waters my plants on my porch. I have lots of light from windows. quite a lot of plants dotted around the apartment. I enjoy 'Kill this Plant' & love 'Planterina'
Lovely stuff thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing your journey. Hearing about your arrival to UA-camr is inspirational. 😊🙏🏽🌱 For the love of plants.
Thank you 😊
Richard: Thank you for letting us get to know you on a personal level!😊 Love your videos. Hope for your continued success in the future. 🪴
My pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching 😁
Congratulations on making your channel into a career. I love your plant content - it's practical and I have adopted many of your ideas. The tips and tricks on propagation and growing plants in water have been particularly useful and fun to do.
Great stuff 👍 thank you
In the US, "garden" usually refers to a vegetable garden which is a patch of land on which vegetables are grown. We say "flower garden" to refer to a patch of land on which flowers are grown. A "yard" in the US is what is called a "garden" in the UK. Just in case anybody wants to know!
👌
Love and lots of 🪴 gratitude from an Italian married to a New Orleanian living in NYC ❤!
Great stuff 👍
Ah, Liverpool! I thought you sounded a bit Beatley! Luv your channel. My favorite plant person. Glad you are finding success with this UA-cam thing!
Thank you 😊
I love you’re channel, my mom loves plants and I grew up around them and now that I have my own home watching your videos make me feel at home and I learn so much from you, not only about plants but about being patient. Thank you 🙏🏽
Awesome thank you 😊
Thanks Richard Its really good to get to know more about you.
You're in my top 3 plant channels on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing your videos & keep up all the good work you're doing. You're well received!🌷
Excellent thank you
Very interesting, learning more about you.
I must compliment you on your ability to make a great video. You sit with your arms resting on the table instead of flapping them around, and when you do move them, it's to indicate a direction or something useful. (Flapping arms, which end up being a distracting blur, are one of my pet peeves when it comes to instructional videos!) And you also get straight to the point. Even in this video, which is all about you and your life, you kept the interest high and kept it moving. I really enjoy your videos AND your plant tips, which are sensible and don't promise miracles. Your deadpan sense of humour is welcome, and I do love those videos where you poke fun at the insane 'plant hack' channels.
Love it thank you!
Congratulations on doing YT fulltime!! And thanks for sharing some of you with us!! Love your channel.
Thank you 😊 and my pleasure
I know you have mentioned at least a few times how you’re not a fan of dracaena’s but isn’t that a big dracaena right next to you or if not, what is it? Also I highly recommend learning to play the guitar. It isn’t too late to learn it. I learned during Covid and I’ll never look back. So many benefits to playing an instrument. It’s very meditative and good for the brain. Anyway, love your channel! I’m a long time plant enthusiast, since well before the pandemic, and I’m so glad so many other people seem to share my obsession now. Looking forward to more of your videos.
It is indeed. I pay it very little attention the poor fella
My wife & I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise! Best wishes on your UA-cam adventure and have a wonderful summer.
Thanks so much!
Very enjoyable video and very interesting. Inspirational as usual❤
I was always embarrassed with the amount of plants I have, but you always make it seem ok😅
The more the merrier!
Hi Richard I love my houseplants & find you video really helpful. Practical advise with a no-nonsense approach. Good luck with your youtube channel.
Many thanks 😊
Hi Richard nice to meet you... been on your channel for a few weeks... I'm learning a lot from ya about plants thanks😁
Great stuff 👍
You are great at what you do. I turn to you for help with all my plants. You need to be patient with orchards. Don't give up when they drop flowers. Just cut the stem and be patient. The will spike eventually. Love your channel
Thanks. I'm doing that now. Flowers have come to an end so trimmed it back and being patient
You are a very interesting person and quite tall. Wow. I really enjoy your content. I've learned so much from you. Keep up the great work. Have a great weekend.😊
I appreciate that!
Brilliant! Glad to hear that you don't usually talk like a storyteller 😂 keep it up
😁
Your channel became an instant fave. Thank you for sharing more about you as an individual, is truly delightful to get to know you better. Much green love from an Argentine in Vancouver island! 🇨🇦🇦🇷🇬🇧
Thank you so much!
Im about a month in my plant obsession. I've learned a lot from you. Thanks Richard!
Great stuff 👍
Thank you for bringing us into your home and sharing some things about yourself. It’s nice to know that we share many things in common besides our love of plants. Congratulations on making the jump to doing UA-cam full time. Looking forward to many more great videos.
Thank you very much!
Nice to meet you Richard. I really enjoy your channel.
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for sharing! Love your channel and plants❤️
Thank you 😊
It was great learning a bit about your hobby and life. I too have a passion for indoor tropical plants way back since my early teens almost 40 years now, and I enjoy learning how others in my hobby get on about it. Well congratulations on your UA-cam success, and wish you and yours all the best. Cheers from zone 7 Oklahoma, USA. 🌴
Howdy Neighbor !

Hey Richard, just wanna say I love your channel and hope you catch up to planterina. It was nice to get to know more about you. I love your accent and I think you’re very handsome. 6’6” wow, nice 👍❤️ I’m curious if you’re a Libra because you remind me of my husband’s personality. He doesn’t smile big much but he’s the sweetest person ever!
Thank you 😊
Good luck on your new adventure.
Thank you 😊
Aw! My daughter grown up but I loved being a mum they grow so fast and I remember toy story 😂 a hundred times!

Haven’t seen all your videos yet but if you haven’t done pepperomia care, could you?
You’re doing a great job!
Thank you. I’ll add peperomia to the list
