    Hi Nial - love watching your channel and enjoying it this morning with my breakfast. I'm a florist and keen gardener and would be grateful if you could maybe do a follow-on seed growing video. I'm planning on starting a cutting garden and even though I can get seeds to germinate and plan on starting this month. I'm not sure what to do with them between now and planting time! Maybe a dumb question for those experienced gardeners, but I'm planning on seed sowing those plants you are recommending for autumn planting. But what do I do with them then??

    • @niallgardens
      @niallgardens  Рік тому +5

      Hi Sharon! So glad that you're enjoying the channel and the videos. That's a really cool idea to do a follow-video... leave that with me and I'll have a think about to make that a reality. It might take a little planning and time, but I'm sure I can do something! In the meantime, if you'r win a similar climate to me, I'd be suggesting to get them germinated, then bring them on in somewhere sheltered like a greenhouse, polytunnel or cold frame. Then you can pop the plants out in the spring. Have a super weekend!

    Hi Niall: This was yet another fabulous video. Thank you! I would request that you do more videos about what to do with various perennials at the end of autumn. Do you trim them down or leave them through winter? I personally like getting rid of things now because there are so many things coming-up through the soil in the spring and I don't want to crush them. What say you? Thank you again, DA

    • @niallgardens

Oh must get some more hyacinths, thanks for a reminder.May I say, the parts of the garden you have let us peek at, are so beautiful, nice choice of filming. Thankyou for taking the time, in your ever busy life. Are they crabapples, the yellow ones on the tree at the end,if so you should use for jelly. Fantastic recommendations,thanks Niall. Omitted to say, if I bought online,really would be a super source,great idea.

    • @niallgardens
      @niallgardens  Рік тому +1

      Hi Lorraine! Yeah Acanthus are superb plants and like yourself, I'd seen the plant lots but wasn't sure what it was until a few years ago. I'm a huge fan of the snakeshead fritillaries - I'd happily fill the entire garden with them and irises. Good spot on the crabapples! The tree is Golden Hornet (or so we think) and it's looking particularly great this year. Mum made us crabapple jelly a couple of years back form them.... I'll have to get her on the case again this year!

    Hi Niall I took your advice and sowed cornflower and sweetpeas seeds last month into small pots in the polytunnel and they are growing really well. My question is should I leave them where they are until spring or plant them outside in their final growing position.

    • @niallgardens
      @niallgardens  Рік тому +1

      Great to hear! You technically can leave them out during the winter, but my suggestion would be to keep them under cover, even if it's just a cold frame. Not sure where you're based, but with storms winds and heavy rain, things can get damaged so easily, even without the frost. Hope this helps!
