A much-needed peaceful moment to escape in and thoroughly enjoy. Thank you. How beautiful the butterfly images were! You are right! What could be better than flowers waiting for you at the front door, than a frog! Last week I found a toad sitting calmly in front of my garage door at 11:30 at night. So pleased, I went to bid him a good night and marveled at how such a little creature could bring me such happiness at the end of a long day. ❤
Toads have a wonderful sense of ancient wisdom and guardianship about them - I too would feel joy at his presence. Thank you for sharing your story and sending our very best wishes.
You are so talented with your photography! I showed my husband your beautiful garden and he too thought it to be so beautiful. Thank you and I think that more people should watch your amazing videos. They don't know what they are missing out on.
I have noticed less butterflies this year even in my area zone 6b. But i still was able to get beautiful videos of a swallowtail on my verbena and petunias, and they absolutely loved my heliotrope! As did I! I also started cosmos late in the season at the end of august but they have grown 3 to 4 feet since then, absolutely amazing how fast plants can grow in the right conditions. I love learning about new plants and planting techniques from your videos, Thank you apple pea fern sea! 😊
How enchanting to entice a beautiful swallowtail to your well-planned nectar garden. And to capture the footage. I have never seen the UK’s native swallowtail but hope to, one day! Thank you for your lovely, appreciative message and sending our best wishes.
I thought my Cosmos were never going to get going this year but they're looking lovely now. I'll have to sow some of the Double Click Cranberries next year as yours are gorgeous and I'm really conscious that the butterflies need all the help that we can give them. I've hardly seen any this year. I was thinking of you today as I planted some Siculum bulbs having seen them in flower in one of your earlier videos.
So many plants have been slow starters in this cool, wet year, haven’t they. But your late-blooming cosmos sound like a lovely extended-season treat. Your bees also will also adore the siculum next year. Let’s hope 2025 will be a better one for butterflies and all pollinators. Sending our best wishes 💚
Our cosmos, along with some nerines, have been the highlight of a rather disappointing year. Luckily your video is wonderfully well-timed as I have been worrying about how to fix the various problems with the garden and now I'm thinking of cutting down the self-seeded tree that is over-shadowing one of the flower beds and using it to create a low woodpile in the centre of the meadow to provide a bit of cover for the beasties and a bit of a wind-break for the plants. I've also ordered lots of bulbs for the meadow which I'm hoping will replace some of the grass and reduce the amount of hayfever. We've had a good variety of butterflies and dragonflies this year, so hopefully this will boost the numbers. I haven't seen any frogs or toads though, perhaps because the pond got flooded with silt and is now more of a bog. Or maybe they are just hiding in all the nooks and crannies.❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I am imagining lots of wonderful amphibian hiding places with your flower beds and meadow and a potential new woodpile in the middle. It has been a strange gardening year with the unseasonal weather and flooding, thank goodness for trusty cosmos and your nerines. Happy bulb-planting and butterfly-enticing and sending our best wishes.
I luckily grow all the plants that you have in your garden but the plant who is King for bees and of course butterflies etc are l find here to be the basic Verbena Bonarinsis. I have four other varieties but the this basic variety gives more beneficial sustenance for months and months to the insects are these plants . Which grow strangely enough in my good old Sussex clay. Moreover l have 30 plants alone in my small drive which were self seeded. I basically cherry picked the footprint of the display and they have been giving a brilliant long lasting display. Did you know that here in Sussex we have nearly 40 names for different types /condition of clay . Thank you for you excellent videos but alas l fear it will not be long before the throat of winter will be upon us.
Your driveway sounds like a butterfly runway, how fabulous! I am so looking forward to introducing the pollinators’ favourite species form to the garden and hopefully the plants will enjoy our Kent clay too. We didn’t appreciate that the lexicon for Sussex clay is so diverse, I guess this reflects the agricultural history and knowledge of the land. Thank you for your message and best wishes.
It was this video, although I have considered it before, that convinced me to grow this verbena next season. Such a lovely, airy plant, but even better now knowing it will help the pollinators.
A much-needed peaceful moment to escape in and thoroughly enjoy.
Thank you.

I would be thrilled to find a frog on my doorstep!
We hope one visits your frog-friendly doorstep soon!
