    Such a lovely garden. Here in my cottage garden in Wales the daffodils finished weeks ago, the tulips are ending and I even have rose buds. Everything is flowering very early this year

      Thank you so much 🙏😊 I'm glad you like it 🌷🌸🌺 I have early and late flowering dafgodils, so some have finished flowering and some are still in flower. Everything is a lot earlier here too, I also saw a few rose buds appear.

    The flower combination is so soothing and beautiful. We had lots of rain in April too when the flowers began to emerge. Looking forward to your garden in May when roses and other flowers will make their entrance :) TY! I have 2 English roses called "The Lady Gardener" too :)

      Thank you so much 🙏😊 I'm glad you like it and that is was helpful 🌺🌷🌸 We've had a very wet winter too, a lot of plants have suffered. That is another reason why I plant my bulbs in platsic containers, so that I can cover them from the rain during winter. Happy planting!

    Such clever idea. I love the look and using a plastic container inside a decorate pot it’s a win win. What size pots do u usually use ? ❤

    • @theladygardener
      @theladygardener  9 місяців тому

      Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful 😊 I use 4 & 5 litre pots for my smaller pots and 7,5 and 10 litre pots for my large pots. For the small pots on my table usually 1 and 2 litre pots

    The colour combination is always so good to see. It is awesome you have the flowered plants when you need to do a swap. Where do you keep your plants when they are not on display?

    • @theladygardener
      @theladygardener  9 місяців тому +1

      I grow annuals, bulbs and agapanthus in my terracotta pots. In winter the agapanthus remain in the garage, frost free. In autumn the pots are filled with pansies. I grow the bulbs in plastic containers that I keep in a small polytunnel on my terrace at the back of my garden . When the bulbs start flowering, the pansies have finished flowering. After the bulbs, beginning of May the agapanthus go on display. I let the bulbs die back out of sight in a corner of the terrace at the back of the garden. And so it rotates throughout the year.

    Good day I’m new to your gardening channel. I absolutely love your garden. Oh my goodness!!! Does anyone in the comments know where she sources her daffodil bulbs?

      Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it 🙏😊 I buy most of my bulbs online from Fam Flower Farm and also a few from Peter Nijssen and Verberghe, but Fam Flower is my absolute favourite store
