    I love my garden but I have felt a bit of a failure. I have discovered your videos and it’s been amazing. Things can be cut back, things can be moved, things can be taken out and replaced it’s not the end of the world. Thank you John x

    Please John don’t ever become one of those boring gardeners. Your wealth of knowledge is immense but you are always a real good craic as we say in the north of England. Apart from the knowledge you pass on you have a very tongue in cheek attitude to these videos which cracks me up every time. Please keep them coming. It’s good to know I don’t have to have every product on the market just to grow a plant. I just need to buy a plant from a good garden centre/nursery x😊

    I really enjoyed this video. It showed John using his tools in a way that demonstrated how to use them. And the soil after years of organic matter - showing a real garden, and how it evolves with time. Also some beautiful plants - both the pieris and the Japanese maple looked stupendous.

    I like John Lord because it’s practical gardening about plants and gardening, with very little of the “preaching” that BBC programmes indulge in and none of the silly fancy pants stuff that you get in “ love your garden” or garden rescue.

    I bought two ‘Double Play Red’ spirea from the clearance rack a few years ago. They were very sad, little sticks. They’ve rebounded so well and the foliage is lovely all year, with a little bit of flowering all season long. Pollinators love it. The flowers are very “red” as they say.

    I planted Proven Winners double play douzy spierias and the purple boomerang lilacs last spring. The spierias did great...it bloomed all summer long and have come back well after a rough winter here. The boomerangs struggled last summer but this year they have filled out and had a decent first bloom but no repeat. This second year they have really filled out so hope i can get a second bloom out of them. Here in North Carolina USA, spring has been wet and cool...more like the UK. Now we are preparing for our hot dry southern summer. Good luck with your new flowering shrubs. Susan

    The Boomerang lilacs only reblooms if it is deheaded and fertilized after the first flush (and for me, it was just a dribble for the second flush). The flowers are so small compared with the Lilac chinensis, and not as fragrant. I offered it as free if they also dug it out too. It can be useful for areas that don't have enough cold period for chinensis.
