Wow!!! A hedgehog and a badger!!! And a fox!!! You are so lucky to have these marvellous animals visiting your yard, what an honour! And all the more reason to do it your way instead of with chemicals. Thank you for considering them!
Glad you enjoyed seeing my little collection of wildlife visitors - I do like it when they are comfortable in my garden and always a thrill to video them.
Beautiful garden Paul!😍I used to have fish in my pond, but not anymore, because the wild animals ate them all😔 I’m not sure what kind of animal it was. Anyways. Thank you for the beautiful video! Have a nice day!💚💚💚💚🌵🪴
@saya6899 Hi Saya, sorry to hear you lost your fish. We have a heron that checks the pond for fish. I’m pleased you enjoyed the patio. Have a lovely weekend!
I have one, sometimes two, every night - the female arrives at 10pm and it’s still just about light enough to see her through the windows as she goes about her routine. I love it.
I just started hand collecting the slugs in a big bucket, and then I drive them out to nature and dump them. I already have about a third of the amount of slugs than before and it's only been two days! I'll keep doing this until there are hardly any, it's actually quite easy, and very satisfying!
That’s actually what I’ll end up doing - I was thinking of putting them to work in the compost heap - but maybe they’ll get back to the patio by the following day!
That is such a fab thing to do...👍🐌....my garden once backed onto a field,i used to collect the army when they were on patrol and took them back to their field.🐌👌
@@CheshireCat6639 Yep, my property backs onto a wildlife preserve - lol! I've got my work cut out for me. But it really is amazing how the population has dwindled in just a few days. So that's hopeful!
Hi Paul . Every thing look so pretty . For hostas you can boil coffee ,let it cool and sprinkle the hostas and you can also put eggshells under the hostas plants to protect them from snails and slugs . Have agreat day .🌿
Greetings from Kentucky Paul. Your patio area looks great. I love all the hostas in pots. I actually potted a "Patriot" hosta last week in set in my shade border. My patio is in full sun. I have several hostas in the ground. Lucky for me slugs and snails are not a problem in my area. However, I am battling the dreaded Japanese Bettle right now with my roses though. It's always something! Happy gardening from the US, James
Of course I give them all a 'like', even slugs! Seem to have 'cracked it' with those pots, but don't forget the copper tape: I haven't used it but have it just in case. Yours is a great collection of hostas now; such handsome plamts. Can only do one ;like' or I'd do more!
Hi, re snails and slugs eating hostas, I lightly boil a few garlic cloves, drain the water and pour through a fine seive. When cold transfer solution to a spray bottle and apply to the hostas. Very cheap, organic and safe to use with pets and children. It works too, they hate it!
That is possibly the best solution of all. I did that a few years ago but got out of the habit - will start up again. I heard that when it rains it ‘washes’ it off - don’t know if that’s true or not.
Great to watch...your garden is FABULOUS.....we have a 🦔 that meanders through mine and the neighbours gardens,great to see them. Ty for sharing...I ❤ hostas..
Huge Hosta's, Last season I have snail problem as well and I mulch my garden heavily then only watering in during the day and it works. Beautiful garden
Good afternoon, Paul. omg, your acer palmatum is so pretty! Yes, I too think hostas have such beautiful foliage. As always, enjoy the number of animals you have in your garden, even the 🐌 🐌 🐌. Thanks for sharing your garden!
A fine garden, lovely flowers and charming visitors that also contribute to the life of your garden; what else could you wish? A little more sunshine perhaps... Thank you for your videos, although they could be a bit longer for us to enjoy...
Love the shot of the two birds at the beginning Paul. You are lucky to have a hedgehog in your garden. I haven't seen one for years yet they were quite common when I was a child. I have a fox which visits and he comes right up to my patio doors and I once saw him on my shed roof of all places. He stood there for about five minutes and just had a look at his surroundings. Have you still got your robin?
Nothing like watching parents feeding chicks! I was really pleased when my cameras picked up a hedgehog last year and now it visits at least 3 times a night. Ha, foxes love sunbathing on shed roofs! My robin is OK and I see him now and then but he disappeared when I went away on holiday - even though a neighbour came each day to feed him. I think he’s sulking but I’m sure he’ll be back…hope so.
Hi Paul .I just love watching the little hedgehog eating it's biscuits.so cute.could that large hosta be. Big daddy .I have one and it's leaves look similar.
Brillant video as ever...!!.. you have a lovely relaxed presentation style... nearly makes me fall asleep... haha.. i have gained a lot of useful information and have used in my own garden..
Hi Paul, you are much more gracious than me. Or maybe I haven't got enough Hostas yet! I lightly pruned my Camelia after it flowed. Looking at yours, I think I should have taken more off. 😊😊😊
Hi Pauline, don’t forget I tend to prune and clip fairly heavily and I was making up for missing a couple of years. Better would be a lighter clipping but every year - sounds like you did a nice job.
I love your patio, not to mention the house, of course! Everything looks great, even without scientific names ;-) The nighttime footage is really interesting. Most people have recently been fighting with slugs, snails, aphids etc. So have I. Last night and the night before my garden was "visited" by a number of wild boar, I suppose piglets rather than adults judging by the size of the hole they made in my fence. We've mended the fence but we can't "reinforce" the whole perimiter. The damage is relatively minor, they "hoovered" all the fallen apples for which I'm quite grateful!
Wild boar! Oh my goodness - they are like giant hedgehogs without the spines n’est ce pas? I reckon they wouldn’t be happy with kitten biscuits - good job they were going for the apples. Sorry you had your fence damaged.
@@paultsworld Oui monsieur! I'd say like giant giant hedgehogs :-) They've been patrolling the streets in the neighbourhood for several years now. I'm sure you can guess why we've started seeing wild animals in the city parks and gardens. The problem has escalated recently primarily due to the rapid loss of habitat. I feel really sorry for them, less so for my fence. Cheers, Paul!
@@paultsworld I've seen them many times in the wild, some at the end of my street :-) I tend to avoid sows with piglets. I've also seen brown bears a couple of times, a male wolf, European deer, elk (they're very dangerous, I almost climbed a tree out of fear), a huge male wisent and I've heard a Eurasian lynx once. I hike alone, that's why. I hope you're sufficiently impressed ;-)
@@gardensenglishandtrivia you’ve had some great adventures in plenty of places and can encounter such a variety of animals, large and small, without having to travel thousands of miles like me.
Hi Paul, I love hostas but I've got some in pots only now as it's 2 wet up here and 2 many slugs I gave up. Yours look lovely in the pots have a lovely weekend. ❤x
It’s like you’re living in the middle of wild Kingdom, pretty cool the nighttime camera. I was thinking you might be interested in the new video. A girl here in Michigan just put up her channel is Jess JES, she’s doing a hosta tour, I think she has close to 100
This is such a wonderful video Paul. How fortunate you are to have these gorgeous, storybook animals in England. Did you grow your Brugmansia from seed? I live in Australia, but was born in England so I feel naturally drawn to cute English animals and gorgeous gardens, like yours.
I grew the brugmansia from cuttings - so easy to do. I have a video on how I do it. So nice you enjoy English wildlife - I love it that they visit my little patch in England. 🌸 How to Over-Winter Brugmansia - Angel's Trumpet ua-cam.com/video/6hm0f5m_bqA/v-deo.html
😅 good heavens Paul! One year, they devoured my potato plot, I went out every evening to pick them off, but in the end, I gave up. There were too many, and it was giving me nightmares. I don't grow potatoes anymore 😅. I still haven't got around to buying my first hostas, probably for that reason. I quite admire your philosophy 🤔 project for next year, an army of hostas 😂
I totally understand - it can get demoralising so I'm trying to be relaxed - don't know how long I'll be able to! I think you should get a hosta in a pot and use all the methods against the slugs - should work well. I have too many hostas to defend them all ;-)
I can also suggest planting slug resistant hostas with very thick leaves. For example, Abiqua Drinking Gourd, Zounds, Blue Mouse Ears, Liberty, June, Praying Hands, Sieboldiana Elegans.
Fabulous video Paul especially showing the wildlife in your garden. Amazing. However, I’ve got to disagree regarding slugs and snails they’re decimating my allotment! Where’s your Robin?
Glad you enjoyed the wildlife. You are right, on an allotment you have to deal with the slugs - mine are eating the lettuce so something must be done. The robin spends a lot of time in another garden now - I went on holiday and he was not impressed even though I had a neighbour come and feed him. I am sure he'll be back in Winter.
Good Morning Paul, a great collection of hostas! Laura has Empress Wu and it is enormous. We use a ferric slug bait. I am not so philosphical. What has he been drinking?? 😅🤣😂 There is no way I'd encourage foxes here I have pigeon sized bantams. Acer looks beautiful. I am going copy you and put some hosta in pots.
Hiya Margaret, I should get that Empress Wu into a big pot and stand well back! I think he's drinking all sorts of stuff - only works for a short period of time unfortunately ;-) Yes, get some hostas in pots and join the fight 😂
Yikes those slugs! There must be a reason they exist, but I can’t imagine what it would be! Your potted hosta look beautiful on your patio. What do you do to make your Acer so full?
I know Marti, they are impressive- at least the chunks out of the leaves are. They are one of nature’s scavengers and clean the place up - looks like their job this year is to clean my place up of hostas 🤣 The first acer just grows like that - I repotted it with nice ericaceous compost a couple of years ago and it really filled out.
Hello, I leave the bay out all year - I'm in zone 9a. In the Summer I put it on the patio and the Winter I move it to the front of the house next to a sunny wall. It's always a little warmer up against the house. It has survived my Winters although as you can see, the terracotta pot is breaking up because of the frost!
Hello Paul, I enjoyed this video very much.Wonderful to see the wildlife enjoying the bounty you provide,especially the little hedgehog. A quick question,I noticed your euonymus by the pond had a few stems whose leaves were not variegated. Will they eventually become variegated and if not do you prune them out. I planted one after seeing yours and I notice the same thing on mine.,just wondering whether to prune or leave it alone.
Hi Douglas, good question about the green leaves on the euonymus. This happens with all sorts of variegated shrubs and trees. I find that any reverted-to-green growth is more vigorous and doesn’t change to variegation. So simply trace the growth back as far as you can and cut it off. I do this all the time and it makes for a nicer looking plant.
@@paultsworld Thank you Paul. I thought that would be the proper way to go. Nice to have it confirmed. It’s a lovely shrub. I always learn something new from watching your videos. And as a bonus they inspire me to do something in my garden . Take care.
That’s an interesting question. Your best bet are evergreen shrubs which don’t lose their leaves in Winter. Ones that I have are pyracantha (firethorn), the gold euonymus you saw in this video and many of the viburnum. Google ‘evergreen plants and shrubs’ to see a good variety of plants. Try to choose ones that flower nicely in the Summer.

Yours is one of very few channels that get me really excited when a new vid comes out. Love your vibe 😊
Oh wow, that is so encouraging - thank you - I really like the word vibe 👍
I absolutely love your garden and patio! Your little visitors obviously appreciate it as well.
So nice Erica. The wildlife certainly takes advantage of everything available 🦊🦡 🐌

Yes, I will get some copper tape - where’s the best place - B&Q or garden centre?
Thank you for the ‘like’ it’s appreciated and makes a difference. 👍

That’s nice - good reliable plants with a sprinkling of experimentation to see what works.

Aw, thank you! Great that you also have a hedgehog.
I repotted all my Hostas into zinc buckets 3 years ago and no longer get snail or slug attacks.
Very interesting! I might look out for some. 👍

Those are good tips - I have hostas in a bed in the front garden that I mulched and they’re doing well.

Always love your attitude!!!!! Have a great day Paul!
Thank you Linda - enjoy your weekend!
Beautiful garden, Its the bees knees. Our hostas are looking ok the slug traps are working well and our agapanthus in pots are ready to bloom.

Yes, slow start but they can grow fast once the weather warms up.
@@paultsworld i give them liquid feed recently.....maybe they need more..i heard they are greedy
They are greedy but they’ll need a bit more warmth before they can use it - once you see the leaves get going - then do the feeding.

Yes, as you saw in my other video the snails really enjoy my garden! I also have oniscideos but ours are not a problem.
you can offer some beer to the snails😂

That’s an interesting question. Your best bet are evergreen shrubs which don’t lose their leaves in Winter. Ones that I have are pyracantha (firethorn), the gold euonymus you saw in this video and many of the viburnum.
Google ‘evergreen plants and shrubs’ to see a good variety of plants. Try to choose ones that flower nicely in the Summer.
So I am thinking, I'll split my hostas and put them in pots and hope the deer don't come up on my patio.
I’d love to see some deer here - but only very well behaved ones!
You don’t want deer Paul. They eat my huge hosta in one snack!
@martiknapp762 I’d like to get a video of that! I’m pretty safe as there are no deer on the peninsula where I live.

Good afternoon Hulya, I think picking off the snails at night is the best way.
İyi günler Hülya, bence geceleri salyangozları koparmak en iyi yol.
Bahçenin tadını çıkarmanıza sevindim - hayır, yaşadığım yerin yakınında Türk halkı yok. Saygılarımla, Paul
😂The deer have eaten my hostas, hydrandeas, dahlias, and delphiniums.
Gosh, makes my problems sound minuscule.
@@paultsworld I'm adopting your great attitude!😆
Let’s hope we can keep it up - but there again we have no choice - nature does what nature does.
