Oh boy... Here in the PNW, near Seattle, that's our soil, where you're digging a hole for the rose. Here it's glacial remains. Watching you I feel like I'm doing the digging. For some reason it helps a lot. When I'm hacking away now, I'll think of you and your gorgeous garden, and persist. Always learn so much from you. Thanks, John!
I'll never think I'm doing it wrong when I see John just getting it done.
Came in from the garden - been out there all day - for cup tea and a biscuit - and what do I find - John Lord on You tube - what more can I ask for - Tea biscuit and Johns channel - utter pleasure - its boosted me up to get back out there - ah the love of gardening.
Thank you for your honest gardening. I always feel like I am doing something wrong ,because my work does not reflect the video's that I watch ahead of time. I start out thinking that I can easily accomplish, then fast forward a fee hours and I am a hit mess with a huge mess. Sort of akin to an I love Lucy episode. You are so honest and your garden is breathtaking beautiful. Thank you again!
It’s because of the Westerlander Rose that I fell in love and started to grow roses again in my new home. It will make you stop and smell the roses! 🥰
I had to chuckle - you don't deadhead your roses, you behead them! 🌹
I just so enjoy your zest for life and your passion for plants!
Whenever people in my gardening groups complain about their ground I refer them to your planting videos
“This isn’t going great David” I disagree. I like this project! Come back in six months to show us the roses!
Algorithms introduced your you tube channel absolutely enchanted with your content and knowledge cheers from Pennsylvania 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks, John. You’re everything that’s good about UA-cam: a camera pointed at someone who’s passionate about their craft, and with all the nonsense left out. I’ve learned so much. With thanks also to David - the hidden hero. I’d say this channel should be picked up by a network, but I expect some executives would find a way to spoil it. All power to the good people of Ratoath Garden Centre. What a haven! 😊
Hilariously real! The sound of that shovel on the rocks is SO familiar! Please show us the plant in 6 weeks time!
you are so down to earth and normal,love it
Love your stuff. Very inspiring. Keep the videos coming. There's nothing like good garden advise!
Show us more.love it.
That German rose will have your car park ground sorted in no time and I bet if you leave the trellis near by it’ll paint it and install it for you, properly!
Yes but then it will dominate the other roses.
I know how you feel , John, I have had to do that all around my garden, and not a mini digger in sight! Thanks for showing us all what it is really like and for giving us much needed hope!
That rose seems to have a tough challenge in those conditions. Can you revisit it in a year? I'd love to see how it's doing!
Tim I didn’t see your comment until now - I have just asked the same question - that is I would love to see this rose growing next Summer
I broke a mattock doing just that; now there's masses more to be done. Anyway you've given me hope!
You need to come away from the gym Wendy 💪😂
I did exactly the same last year, it took an age to dig, but my White Star climbing rose looks great, well worth it
I love that paint color contrast really well with both roses🌹
Wow, that was some hard digging for you. I would have walked away from planting there after the fifth swing of your pick axe.
Wishing you the best of luck with your roses growth . 👍❤️😊
Jack’s Magic compost….I’m really impressed with it. Only discovered it recently at my local Asda superstore. I’m a complete newbie to gardening. Great video as always John.
I love that you keep it real !! I’d loose my one rose too if was doing it too ! Mind you - I would have cursed 🤪🤪🤪
I like your definition of a weed(a plant in the wrong place).
After seeing this I have hope for my new garden, which I think is a small quarry with a grow bag of soil over the top!
That strip of ground along the front of the sheds will be a real showpiece, once it's all planted up. Both roses are equally beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the finished article. You'll need to put some kind of doorstop to prevent the door from going all the way back and crushing the roses in the wind, once they are established and spread out on the trellis.
"OH no, were gonna lose our flower, David" pulls off flower without trying to save it. Lol funny stuff.
Who stole John’s wardrobe and replaced it with these hipster clothes? I really like his patterned shirts.
Lot of gravel there but I dig up gravel to 5 lb. stones when I plant. Usually I take the nursery can full of rocks away for every plant I put in. It is amazing my plants grow at all. I live in central NY.
I live in Oneonta NY where theres 1 rock for every dirt. I use Charles Dowding method - boom its done.
Just like my soil Dennis here in Donegal, Ireland.
Best garden programme!
That rose will be gorgeous! Hope to see it again soon! Tough job, that gravel was really compact. Great idea with the dark green paint! Thanks for all the information, Cheers!
Hope is my method for digging around gas pipes as well.
Very nice to see another wonderful video. Thank you!
Sometimes I want to plant in a specific place but after digging the hole I have to reconfigure my plan.
great show
Thanks for another real one!
👍👍 perfect! Thanks! I’ve got loads of hard stony ground
That was better than a workout at the gym John 😂😂. Please let’s see rose in 6 weeks time, hope it survives 🤞
I have rocky clay soil and that’s exactly how I plant. The pick is my favorite digging tool. 😁Love your videos!
I feel your pain! Took over a week here to plant some photinia hedging, I could only do one per day it took that long to dig the humongous rocks out!
I've never seen anything like it
Gorgeous gardens! May I recommend a Root Slayer shovel? They are amazing getting into earth. 2 sizes, Nomad is smaller and the one I use most often. XL is the larger and great for digging out small stumps or shrubs. Highly recommend. Those and a D/stirrup hoe have changed my avid gardener life!
My favourite shovel! We call it The Slayer :-)
@@floragardener9005 I always recommend the Root Slayers, and you are the first to know what I'm talking about! Amazing shovels! I can dig small tree stumps out with these. I can get through our rocky, clay soil with them. And they're hefty enough to provide leverage to pry bigger stones out of the earth. I also have the Root Slayer edger for neat edging! Highly recommend!
I'm in USA zone 5b in Massachusetts.
Root Slayer, if you're listening, would you manufacture an oscillating D/stirrup hoe?
I live in Oneonta NY where theres 1 rock for every dirt. I use Charles Dowding method - boom its done.
In all honesty I’d have given up and planted ivy 😂😂 . I’ll be a bit more adventurous now! Love watching you.😘
Would soaking it with water before digging have helped? Asking because I have planting to do in compacted sandy/rocky soil.
You just answered my question before i asked my red rose is now changing to deep pink shade...t
I recognise that 'dirt' 😕
Need to invest in a Kango for future planting
👌💕
Laughing yet again! It's a fight with a rose again and David won with a ko and knocked his pretty flower off, this time! lol
Would it not have been easier to scatter a few seeds there. Also here’s a challenge- when this rose starts to grow - could you please show us a picture- like we will say next Spring/ Summer. If I sowed a rose there in a place like that it would not grow !!
Will do
@@johnlordssecretgarden I will hold to that👍
Anybody has an idea why John took the flower off?
It would've wasted the rose's energy from being established.
Took it off? More like tore it off!
Suddenly I feel my roses have it too easy
the
Painful.
