    "A video that doesn't teach anything about gardening!" (says John). Most of us would disagree - and his enthusiasm is absolutely infectious!

    Honestly John I’ve learnt so much from you, never under sell your self.👍🏻

    I disagree.. I always learn something from these videos, even if it’s to remember when I’m gardening to look up occasionally and take in the view. The enthusiasm is what I come for as well as the learning. Such a treat.

    In my scorching hot and dry Texas garden I can probably only grow a fraction of the types of plants that you do, but I find your videos so enjoyable. I can relate to your passion for plants and forms and textures. You always teach me something, and you always make me laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing your garden with us :-)

    I love seeing the things you can do when you have larger spaces like yours! My lot is super small with several structures taking up much of the space. And because my focus is on vegetable gardens & edible landscaping, I have very limited space for ornamental species. Primarily, my outer perimeter is used in that way, on the outside of my deer / rabbit barrier. And that means I need to focus on resistant varieties.

    I have never been disappointed by any of your masterful videos. Enjoying them in Lake Katrine, NY, USA. Even if we officially have not been “taught” anything we are becoming familiar with new species and varieties and we saw the way plants that got chopped or eaten have recovered, etc.

    Persicaria polymorpha is one of Piet Ouldorf’s favorite plants, and now everybody in the US is growing them. It won’t be long before they’re declared invasive here.

    Do you chelsea chop the joe pie weed and persicaria? grasses? And issues with underground pests, like voles?

    Enjoyed the trip through the prairie garden. So cool to see how plants rebound after being chopped by humans or chomped by rabbits. Two things though, the camera lens could do with a clean and John's hair needs combing. Not that either of these things reduced my enjoyment of the video!

    Thank you for the garden tour, John. You say you're not teaching anything about gardening but I've learned a lot from your videos. I've taken inspiration from your garden in planting my own Virginia garden and have had lots of success with 5 different varieties of Persicaria, Geum, and Astilbe chinensis which were previously unknown to me(a professional garden designer).
    As always your videos are a "must watch" for me. Thank you!

    • @johnlordssecretgarden
      @johnlordssecretgarden  2 роки тому +1

      Cornus kousa is one of the best shrubs in our garden. It has never let us down. I haven’t had success with Cornus florida, maybe our climate doesn’t suit it.
