    You make me smile all through your videos John. Such fun.
    Please, BBC or ITV…give John a programme. People will love his style. Puts the regular garden presenters in the shade.

      It’s like stream-of-consciousness gardening! That’s probably how I look when I’m out in my garden-jumping from task to task-but with far less beautiful results.

      I would love it if he was on TV, but the programmers would have their own ideas of what should happen and I think John would be restricted in his style which would be such a shame! I’ll just keep telling my friends!

    I always watch John Lord’s videos and have recommended them to my gardening friends. I am 77 and live in upstate NY where many of John’s plants could not survive the harsh winter. But his passion, knowledge and energy for growing things is inspirational. I bought a mattock for digging to save my knees - something I wish I had known about 40 years ago! And a few of Christopher Lloyd’s books have come into my possession after John mentioned his name. Thank you, John Lord, for your contagious enthusiasm!

    Great Pickaxe demo! Hakonechloa has to be one of the best plants produced in past years. Makes a bright statement in a border.

    Thank you John for the best gardening video on UA-cam.
    You have got the gift to teach and amuse, please teach the English, from a South African friend living in the UK and homesick.

    The public talking doesn't bother me a bit!
    It just makes the video more real, not contrived, not planned.
    Real life is happening!
    I love how easy it is for John to shop in his own gardens!
    Wish I could do the same as much as he does.

    Now that you point it out, using the pickax as a lever seems so obvious. This 67 year old gardener thanks you - lol

    I've lived on a rocky hillside for the past 25 years and before that dealt with heavy clay, so the maddock is definitely a tool I also have experience with, lol. Thank you for showing you can plant in the summer if necessary. Too often lately I see young YT gardeners buying plants in the heat of the summer, which you should do so you get a range of plants that are in bloom then, but then telling their audiences they can't plant them until fall as if the plants will be better off sitting in their small, thin plastic, nursery pots, roasting in the heat for a couple of months. Sure, if you keep them shaded and water them a couple times a day, then leaving them in their pots might be better, especially if they also mutilate the roots excessively as they plant. But sitting in the pot, in hot sun, drying out quickly, is not better than planting them in most cases. Cut them back if you need to, keep them well watered, but plant them.

    I think that Hydrangea is Hydrangea Aspera Hot Chocolate. Have one in my own garden which I love, though they can be susceptible to leaf scorching in strong sunshine here in SE England.

    So, basically, you are telling us that it is ok to transplant our flowers at any time? I have a veronica that has flopped and i think it is either it is time to divide or it doesn't get enough sun in that area but I have been afraid to do anything to it. i might just tackle that today! Thanks again, John!

    New subscriber here. Loving your style of gardening, you’re definitely in control of your garden, not the other way round! Great tips for using a pick axe, letting gravity do the work. Have picked up some great ideas for plants in dry areas under trees, we have a few of those. Inherited 5 hydrangeas planted close together. Think we will transplant some later in year. Think it’s too dry and too much sun where they are, looking quite sickly. Thanks for sharing.

    I’m surprised you didn’t loosen the roots on the potted plants (yellow loosestrife, I believe) before planting them. They looked a bit root-bound to me. Maybe I’m overthinking it?! :-)
    Love your videos. Keep them coming!

    Have planted in summer heat. Wait for late day, Add lots of compost and lots of water. Works - mostly. My problem is little critters digging up plants to eat roots - only time I swear like a hockey player.

    My captioning said ‘Japanese enemy’. That anemone has certainly been an enemy to me. Took five years to get it out of my garden, and I still see bits here and there.

    My hydrangea annabel dried totally, leaf and flowers, such a pity. One next to it, survived the heat wave. Hope the other one will come back next year, and not died.

    I've often wondered why you don't help your digging by using your leg -- now I know. I suppose all gardeners have an injury or two and we just keep adapting so that we can keep digging :-) And again you made me laugh out loud on the Rhododendron mishap -- no doubt all gardeners can relate to that too.
