I love how you take a minute to enjoy the beauty while you work. Happy gardening.
Listing the names of the plants in a separate banner while John talks, is so helpful. Thanks
The best gardning show on UA-cam👍 (Always bring more tools than you need, the next second where is my rake😂)
Just brilliant isnt he
Breath of fresh air as always, I seem to spend countless hours just trying to be in control of all that is going on in our garden. Obviously what I need to do is adopt Johns attitude and just relax a bit more.
Yes the garden always shows you what to do and before you know it your soaked with sweat, your extremities are caked with mud and it’s almost sunset. I LOVE TO BE A GARDENER!
Love this show and the Irish humor is a delight☘️ More, pls!
You showed great restraint in not saying anything. I don’t know that the rest of us could have done the same. 😀
Always a pleasant surprise getting a JL video :) thx!
So glad your back in your garden 💙 love watching your videos x
I learn something each time I watch one of your videos but more than that I get great pleasure from watching and listening. You have a great attitude to gardening and ( I suspect) to life. Your garden is a delight. Thank you.
The comment about reporting the sycamore to social services made me laugh. So nice to see the lovely garden. My garden is currently under two feet of snow and still snowing. Colorado is a high risk gardening state.
This guy knows and watches plants intensely, "you can actually feel the growth," in a dry spell after heavy rain... This is so true! You can see the turgor pressure increase and growth for sure. Especially with elongating species in spring. They literally slow to a crawl when it's dry, then burst into life with rain or the watering can 👍
What a lovely walk round your garden in the evening sun😊
Hello Mr Lord and David, thanks for the video, i always look forward to seeing you in the garden knowing I'm going to learn and have a few giggles. Take care both.❤🏴
Great somthing to watch on a Saturday night.👍
Just love the sounds of the wind in the trees on your walk John, breathtaking beauty of your garden.As me you have to have everything in its place, with secatuers always on hand.
I go out in my N Wales woodland garden for say 30 mins and 3 hours later sometimes unable to straighten up hobble in to the house. No nonsense gardening, wished I lived near to John's magic garden, Brilliant to watch. Georgina
Hi John! It’s 99 degrees here in Alabama and many of the plants in your garden are wilting and frying here so I love watching your channel every night to see how beautiful they are for you.
We are having very cool if not cold weather at the moment. It’s a pity we couldn’t swap around our temperatures a bit.
Enjoy watching you work in the garden after I come in after digging out in mine. Thank you for your advice on the mattock for digging. A great tool. Saves the digging knee and uses muscles you forgot you had!
I’m just here for the craic 😂
Shin Deshojo will turn mostly green throughout summer! New shoots will come out red/pink then turn green also. Lovely cultivar though.
Just love your videos, I feel like I am right there following you around 👍🏻
Ooh that evening primrose can be a nuisance. People plant here and it ends up everywhere. Anyhow, I wanted to say you have some absolutely lovely viburnum - maybe a tomentosa. Gorgeous form.
John 'Rambo' of the garden ... corr blimey ... you had those hunters eyes for any tiny weed that was going to be bazooka'ed out of the garden. Good on you for putting together a video together after a long day
It's the sign of a dedicated gardener when you know where certain weeds are liable to pop up. I keep a running list in my mind about where the couch grass is or which bed will be filled with maple seedlings... it pays to know your garden and get a jump start on the weeds.
Fun times in the garden with Mr. John Lord! I'm reading up on the hardiness zones of Ireland and even though you're in US hardiness zones 8 & 9, it's a much milder climate than my zone 7 summers. The array of plants in your garden is just unbelievable!
We forget that the extreme lushness of English and Irish gardens is due to this zone equivalency, which I certainly would never have guessed before I looked it up. Until climate change issues at least, they had very moderate summer temperatures, no frigid winters, and a lot of rain. This results in their ability to grow many plants I would never attempt in my Indiana garden, and their long growing season makes for huge size and vigor in their plantings. That stand of red persicaria John often walks by casually boggles my mind.
Breath of fresh air is right! He knows the latin name of every plant. What a spectacular place.❤️🇨🇦💙💛🇺🇦
thank you for showing us ýour semi wild garden. enjoyed it.
"Taken out by accident" ??? You are hilarious!
Yay! I've just planted two Aztec Pearl and two Green fingers Choisya.
Very happy to hear that they are good performers, I'm up in the Scottish Highlands.
Love your video's John! Yes! rip those blue bells out of there, lol! Mine is the Lily of the valley. Don't know which is worse!
Lily of the Valley for sure.
Beautiful plants thanks for showing.
You get such a lot done in a short amount of time, no mucking about, no deliberating for ages... sigh 🙄 It's a skill I need to learn! Oh, thank you for reminding me about the dock plants up the back. I'll get stuck into them today 😁
John is the best
Love your gardening techniques, especially the use of the pickax. I make sure my husband doesn't see your videos for fear he will use the same methods without remorse! Thanks, John for another educational trip through your garden.
Thanks for sharing. Look forward to your next video cheers 👍😀
Do you have to water this wonderful garden, or does your gentle climate take care of that? Also, how do you keep all the bamboo from devouring the plants in front of it? I had a wall of bamboo when we lived in USA zone 7, and it ate our driveway. We are now in zone 5, and our 20 year old garden is quite different. Your videos are a joy to watch. Many thanks for sharing your garden and gardening techniques with us all.
We rarely have to water plants here once they establish. Irish weather great for growing plants,but can be a bit damp for humans. You have to be VERY careful with bamboos.If in doubt leave them out.
Gardening with a pickaxe. That's a serious gardener.
‘I don’t like the look o’ that.’ Said that a lot in the garden for 50 odd years.
You have a lot of control, John! I would've gone ape 😝
Fraxinus excelsior we love you!! ❤️
Lovely bird song
Loved the video
❤
totally different here john i live at stonehenge wiltshire , all chalk and flint , what grows here is phyracantha and daisey bush
I would not have kept my mouth shut about the peony. I would have been sobbing uncontrollably and cussing like a drunken sailor😂😂
I would make them do some garden chores, like watering or pulling out the straw seedlings in my veggie beds.
I wouldn't have kept my mouth shut either 😬
John you should use Murphy nails
It’s on its last chance 😂
Is the white dazzler not better than the aztec pearl?
What is the wood your using as edging and roughly how long does it last thanks x
It’s just treated tree stakes with the pointy ends sawn off. They last about 20 years.
@@johnlordssecretgarden defo sound like a very good investment, I'm going to look for some of those x
Staking is not all it’s cracked up to be. The swaying in the wind triggers a hormonal response that encourages vigorous root development. So I was told anyway….
I was told the same but I don’t go along with it any more. I think it’s best to tightly stake a newly planted shrub or tree where it is being rocked by the wind until it can stand on its own two feet
I hate the blue bells in my garden too..ugh I’m always digging them out, never ending battle
Worse than that for me, are Lily of the Valley. Got a gift of a few pips many years ago, and they quickly took over their area, and everyplace around them. Their very deep tap roots and runners make them impossible to eradicate without the dreaded Roundup😤
@@joanp105 oh thank goodness I don’t have any and now thanks to you I never will 😉
I WANT them in mine! Been trying to grow from seed for 2 seasons now
Dear John i love to work in the garden too but never sit in it anymore there is always so much to do pfff do you ever sit in yours?
Where I live landscapers plant Juniper and rhodies, you can't walk 50 ft without running into one of them, they're god-awful!
God bless you brother John for “keeping your mouth shut”. We love our flowers, but must love others more, especially the children. Be careful to encourage them.
“Suffer the children to come unto me”.
So sad that all the nicest plants are toxic
Who lets their kids go round a garden centre snapping off peony blooms?! 😡 Ugh.
