Niall I know nothing about gardening or flowers. I just found your channel. I don't have space to grow in the ground but would love to plant some flowers in boxes now for the autumn winter? Is that possible and is it possible to plant others for next spring summer or will the winter and rain kill everything off??? I hope you can help me? This channel looks great and the songs quality along with the accent is really nice to listen to 🙂 thanks in advance
PS a nursery local to me has a club membership where you can get around 20 plants until they run out of stock that are on sale - otherwise they go into compost! And the membership is a spring membership and summer membership or the VIP is both and like $10 10$ or $15 respectively!
Too short a growing season in North Dakota zone 4 to keep sowing annuals but not the biennials. I inherited some with my current property and always a pleasure to see the seedlings popping up now. Sweet Williams happens to be one of them and I always wonder as a gardener the day they may have been planted. To me it's a way a gardener from the past reaches out beyond their time and maybe even to future gardeners beyond mine.
🌱Hello Niall and all friends watching. I’m in an apartment with a cement-slab patio, so just plant up containers for color thru the summertime. I just added some nasturtium seeds to my geraniums and petunias, lobelia and vinca vines. I enjoy their trailing flowers and they will be orange and vanilla so will fit right into fall. Jane is delightful, and you are, too. Beautiful content. I’m a new sub here, and look forward to seeing you again and again. Have a lovely weekend everyone 💚💛💚💛💚
Hello Niall! I live in the Pacific Northwest U.S. near Vancouver Island in zone 8b. Our climate is cool and cloudy most of the time. My orange lilies are still blooming! I never knew carrots had such interesting flowers.
Greetings from SC. I’ve got quite an erosion problem here on a hillside. I just ordered some gomphrenia, celosia & Japonica corn seeds. I might have enough time to harvest corn before frost, but even if I don’t, I need the corn roots to hold in the soil. Japonica corn has purple and white stripes on its leaves so it won’t look out of place in a flowerbed. Right now potatoes are hiding in plain sight in one of my flowerbeds. Last summer I planted red okra in my hillside garden. The flowering okra looked fantastic-hibiscus like flowers and tropical like foliage. I even made a video about the okra.
Oh I just love it when you get that seed box out!! Like you Niall, I have never grown Sweet William but wow! Jane's are fab!! I have created two wild garden corners in my front and back gardens. I scattered native wild seeds and also put in Calendula, Cosmos, Lupins and more that I had sown from seed and there's a wild phlox ( I think ) in there too. It is all beginning to look absolutely beautiful. There's lots of plants that I haven't a clue what they are but I love them! I tried last year and failed but this year I think I've done not so bad!! Thank you Niall so much for a truly fantastic video xx
Ah what a fantastic selection of plants Geraldine! All of that colour, that interest, that scent... it's going to be FABULOUS! Glad you enjoyed the video! Have a super week and see you on Sunday!
This was a beautiful episode! Thank you for the suggestions, and the reminder that I wanted to use sweet william again - there's still time for me to find seed.
Loved this video ,plenty of ideas to try out. Thanks Niall. So hot here 29 deg, blue sky and sunshine, I'm sat in the garden under the shade from the conifers, watching the shallows darting around and aeroplanes above us. Gardens becoming colourful now, just got 1 small sunflower 🌻 flowered today,can't wait to see my red ones and white ones new for this year. My snap dragons seed themselves all over the bees love them. Still got lovely poppies flowering too,crimson pink so pretty. Bye till next time take care 🙂
Lovely to hear everything that's coming into flower in your garden - it's going to be awesome when everything's in full flower! Have a lovely week and I'll see you on Sunday!
Oh my lovely Hardy sweet peas are starting to flower,really beautiful delicate white with hint of pale pink,very pretty,set them last year from seeds my friend gave me,feel very proud they've started flowering,
Greetings, Niall,from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 I was just thinking about you yesterday and voila, here you are. We are in our Hot Patch of summer ☀️ and we will be until the end of September. I have had great success with Tomatoes 🍅 this year and Marigolds and Basil. It's time to pull everything out and begin again. I'm going to pull up you website and read thoroughly. Take care, Niall 🌿💚🌿
Hi Peggy! I can well imagine quite how hot it is with you. Actually, we're in a hot spell currently - a big area of high pressure has moved in and the other day it was 26 degrees C, which for here is very hot! Bring on the cold and rain again! hahahaha! Lovely to hear all the success your having! See you on Sunday!
@@niallgardens sll good here thanks other than being bitten by either mozzies and horse flies! they are great flowers for instant colour though! my biggest worry is something getting to my sweetcorn possibly in my poly tunnel as they were looking really healthy but all of a sudden yesterday they didn’t look as strong so I think i have a small type of mouse getting in. am trying to protect with grass mulch to hope they might not chew but nearly all 9 have been hit! my watermelons on the other hand am so chuffed about as never grown before! had to get some old tights to support them in the poly tunnel as they are getting a good size now of almost size of small hand!
Love your honesty Niall, sometimes things don't work, trust me I know all too well. From year to year nothing ever the same. Awe loved you had the wonderful Jane, I love her channel too. Great recommendations the two of ye. I love sow honesty, I planted last year, and wow it gave me so much pleasure for months snd still is, the life cycle from flowering to the last colouring of the seed pods. Live your colours of your flowers Niall,and glad you are enjoying them. Thanks for another great video.
Hi Lorraine! Jane is just fantastic isn't she? And I loved the segment she created for me. She's another channel that deserves to have a huge huge following. I used to have Honesty in my previous garden and forgot that I should sow some here too!
@@niallgardens , Hi Niall,Jane is one of the sweetest people I follow on UA-cam, Mike her sidekick and Rocky are a added bonus. I know I do think she deserves so much more followers, I think,so many missing out by not following. I love honesty,my friend got saved seeds from a friend in the U.K. she gave me some, I have shared on after every season it grows,its one of those that just keeps knifing from start to finish.
Sweet Williams have a bit of an image problem but I think they are fantastic and perfect for cut flowers. In addition to everything Jane says the vase life is really good - you can easily get two weeks or more out of them. There are several interesting varieties available now if you don't fancy the bog standard pink colours - this year I grew one called Sooty which is so dark it's almost black which looks fabulous with softer pastel colours in the vase. Like a lot of biennials they are technically short lived perennials so if you have mild winters where you live they will normally flower well again the following year.
So happy I found your channel, I live in Scotland and understand your weather woos. 😅 Do you have a video helping with seed germination in July for perennials? Thank you x
You can also eat the buds of Sandwich Island. They are delicious 😁! You just harvest them as small soft buds, then stew them in a frying pen with oil, garlic, salt and pepper. They are sooooo good, much better then the roots.
Here in zone 9b, my first round of wildflowers and cosmos have done their thing and are on the way out. I've been collecting seeds to put out for round two. We'll have warm weather through September, sometimes October. Also, I like to grow green onions for the white globe like blooms( I think there you call them spring onions). They look nice mixed with their cousin, the drumstick purple alliums, which lasted three months for me this year. Wow I love them. Another great vid, Niall. Thank you.
Thanks Kelley! Hope all's well with you. Yeah I'm big fan of any kind of allium flower - there's just something so structural about them. That's so cool that you're already onto your second round!!
Oh my goodness those foxglove crosses (with the big long name I can't possibly remember!) are just gorgeous - definitely worth looking out for! Some great tips there Niall - we left our celery to go to flower this year and it is just gorgeous - whole clouds of white - thing is I need the bed but so don't want to cut it down! Thank you so much for inviting me along to join in - and those lovely words - very kind. Take care xx
Just catching up with your latest video. As always informative, fun and beautifully filmed. I already subscribe to Jane’s Allotment channel. It’s like chatting with an old friend when she shows her plot. There seems to have been a lot of encouragement this year to let vegetables go to seed, especially encouraged by Huw Richards. I have a rogue parsnip that escaped harvest which is flowering and I am hoping I can collect seed shortly. My sowing this year has give me a solitary parsnip which I am going to let go to seed. I have let some onions go to seed and will definitely let a carrot or two seed. Have a good week and say safe from the sun.
Just realized your name if Niall is also the name of my son. He must have added your subscription last month when he waa looking for garden ideas on my phone .loving all your content here .

Isn't it fascinating to think that those Sweet Williams might be generations and generations on since the original ones were grown - that's so nice!

so cute!
Yes, every day 😍😍😍 we are both super lucky to have them ❤️
Love sweet William, the colours you get from one plant is amazing. Cuttings for vases last longer and give pow to your bouquet.🇨🇦❤️

Extra bonus for the Sweet Williams: the slugs (at least the slugs in my garden) don't like them!!
Oh! Very good point!
I love Sweet Williams. Good to know slugs don't like them. The caffeine in your coffee will kill slugs and snails.

I love cow parsley especially for my flower arrangements 💕 amazing seed’s 🌸💕🌸
It's gorgeous isn't it!
Great video! Love sweet Williams but I've never grown them.
You and me both! I really should give them a go!
Thank you, Niall, I just discovered your channel today and subscribed. Delightful! I look forward to learning from you.
Awesome, thank you! Welcome to the channel and thank you for subscribing!
Great video Niall! I love sweet williams but you have to be careful as they do spread lots but so beautiful.
Ah! That's good to know because I wasn't aware of that - thanks! Hope you're keeping well!

Hopefully they germinate for you and you get loads of lovely flowers!

I have those carrots, but they grow in the wild. I kept looking at them and thinking the leaves looked like carrots. I am going to check them out. 😊
They look so cool don't they? Really beautiful

Hi Donald! Thanks for such a kind message - I saw it and I was delighted that you're enjoying the channel so much!
I’m starting to love flowrs
I think they're such powerful things really aren't they?!
🌸 My May-sown flower display is coming to a close so this is a perfect follow-up episode for me!
Ah super! That's perfect timing then!
You can also eat the buds of Sandwich Island. They are delicious 😁! You just harvest them as small soft buds, then stew them in a frying pen with oil, garlic, salt and pepper. They are sooooo good, much better then the roots.
Sounds great! I haven't tried eating the buds... that'll be next year!
@@niallgardens you will love them 😍
I had no idea that carrots flowered like this, thx for this info buddy.
So nice thank you, can’t wait to get my seeds out

Great video. Very cheerful. 😀 thank you
Thank you! 😃 You're welcome - hope you're keeping well!
Wish we could see the pic of the flowers on the seed packets.
Thanks for the video.
Would you believe I actually forgot to include the shots of the seed packets like I usually do! lol
