I have only recently discovered these fabulously informative videos. Bunny who I had already read about in King Charles’s Highgrove books is areal gift to gardeners. Thank you so much😊
I just love your videos, they are packed with good solid information. I invested in the Stihl mini chainsaw a year ago and it has made my life so much easier. As a gardener who is getting on in years this gadget has been a game changer for me allowing me to happily go through the pruning season without having to rely on anyone.
I agree about the polystyrene module trays - they were brilliant. They were made by a company called propapack and I still have a dozen or so which I use all the time. The benefits of having the bottom virtually open made planting out so easy because you just poked the plants out, causing minimal root disturbance. Also the texture of the polystyrene caused a little friction with the compost so it stayed in place even with the open bottom. They were also sturdy and durable unlike the flimsy plastic alternatives. Go on Bunny - go on a crusade to get these back on the market!!
RE: Snakes head frits, me too! I got a handful of bulbs somewhere and in a moment of blind panic, stuck them into a garden area on the hillside (dry, rather poor soil). They are thriving! I've since divided that clump several times. RE: Tulips. I planted red Darwin hybrids many years ago and altho original bulbs have gone the way of all flesh, my hens apparently eat the seeds and scatter them because now I have gorgeous red tulips coming up and blooming everywhere. Love your wildflower area!
It’s always good to see what you’ve achieved in client’s gardens, but even more so in your garden, where it’s more attainable budget wise for the average garden.
Yes I think the biggest asset you can have in any garden is not cash but living and growing in it for a long time frame. And of course you learn from making mistakes!
Oh wow, you must have fantastic, well used gardens in that fabulous climate. Any tips for gardening in dryer climate always welcome it is very dry in uk now, driest April for many many years, was up at 6 am watering!
The only thing with tulips is that they can get tulip fire, at Highgrove Prince Charles had to stop planting them because of that. We are very dry so hopefully we won’t get it.
It’s capillary matting, you can buy the cheaper grades and the more expensive grades. But if you have hard water it gets clogged up quickly so you should change it every couple of years or so, in which case it’s only really worth getting the cheaper grades. You can buy a needle punch black plastic to put over it to protect it, which you often see used commercially.
Hi I have mentioned them in reply to Sue Dunlop, apologies for not replying in date order. Am really aiming to put a list of answers and plants up on my website for each video. All a bit new to me this and a bit of a learning curve!
Useful video. Tweezers not good for removing ticks, especially if you've not much experience. I don't see how their being sharp would help, above all you must get the whole tick out, anything sharp may rick breaking the tick up, which is to be avoided. Use the specialist tick removal tools, they work very well.
When I was at hort college, this lecturer said "you're not a real gardener unless you want/have a greenhouse" (or polytunnel). I thought "what rubbish", but I now realise he was right. Great video Bunny!
Yes it totally changes what you can achieve. My greenhouses are just home made from old windows but they have lasted over 30 years and changed my life - does sound over dramatic but they did, as did the polytunnel. Feel very spoilt with the 3 but they are all well used. 🐇
Hello and thank you for your amazing garden tour! Love those purple honesty plants but it seems they're unavailable to buy in USA. Is is possible to buy some seeds from you? That would be a dream to have seeds from your garden plants growing in my garden! I would greatly appreciate!
Lunnaria annua ‘Chedglow’ it’s fab. I’ll check out if it’s ok to send seeds to the States. Will you email me all details on my website bunnyguinness@btconnect.com 🐇
@@bunnyguinness @Bunny Guinness Hi Bunny. At the very start of the video you're sitting down and there are 2 small obelisks/plant supports with a finial on top on either side of you.
Bunny, what is the type of Magnolia you were speaking of?? (the white & the pink) Can't quite catch what you are saying. Even turned the volume up but I think it is the accent lol. It is beautiful and doesn't look like any Magnolia that I am familiar with.
Oh... forgot to ask .... what is the name and make of that fabbo hand held mini chainsaw you are using ?? I want to know if its for sale here in Australia.... its just the thing for my garden!!! Thankyou Bunny !
Bunny, what was the name of the lovely blue flowering plant you said was one of your favorites for summer color? Also, could you tell me the name of the white Magnolia tree that is blooming?
Yes just waiting to get enough news growth on them, the leaves are just shooting now so I reckon by end of May I will have enough growth and will take cuttings then and put in greenhouse. Don’t bother with bottom heat or hormone powder as they are quick and easy🐇
I’m meadow Fritillaria meleagris or snakes head fritillary, Alexander’s, Smyrnium olusatrum the tall green flowering plant, blue bells and wood anemone are being planted in the green and I’m about to plant the wild orchid, common spotted orchid . The plumbago that looks dead but isn’t in the greenhouse is Plumbago auriculata, this has brilliant blue flowers that bloom from June to almost December and the Magnolia is Magnolia x loebneri. Hope this helps will try and spit them out more clearly in future but some are a bit of a mouthful! 🐇

What a joy to listen to you talk about plants and the art of gardening. Thank-you from Jocelyn in Cape Town

Totally agree is a fab tool🐇
I was just now thinking Bunny needs to post another video. And here it popped up. You are the most inspiring person on UA-cam

I think
Polystyrene has got the thumbs down now in terms of damage to planet etc though you still see it used widely in packaging 🐇

April is such a beautiful time in gardens!😍Love all the new!
Thank you for sharing your garden, it is inspiring.

I too use capillary matting and keep a watering can of water at the ready in my potting shed. Great information as usual Bunny, thank you.
I wait patiently for each and everyone of your videos!
Ohh yes... me also !!
Thank you Bunny it’s fantastic to see someone with soil conditions like I have great inspiration as always.
Everyone needs a Bunny in their life
Beautiful and inspiring garden, Bunny! Thank you for sharing what is happening in your April garden.
The garden looks wonderful! Thank you for taking us along and that pruner tool oh my God ... I need one of those to cut branches! This is awesome!
You're April garden is lovely and your white magnolia is dreamy! I also like that Stihl saw you showed looks like something I could handle.

Hello Bunny I really enjoy the channel. I’m in Miami Florida
Oh wow, you must have fantastic, well used gardens in that fabulous climate. Any tips for gardening in dryer climate always welcome it is very dry in uk now, driest April for many many years, was up at 6 am watering!
Rubber seed trays are also great.
Great Video Bunny, been waiting for you ........................thanks
Such a beautiful and incredibly informative vlog!
Excellent video as expected. Even though I live in California, your teachings are extremely valuable to me, thank you!
Love the videos Bunny, the are so informative.
Beautiful! I just ordered some frittilaria bulbs and I love how you combined them with purple tulips, such a lovely idea.
Well done as always.
The only thing with tulips is that they can get tulip fire, at Highgrove Prince Charles had to stop planting them because of that. We are very dry so hopefully we won’t get it.
Great tips thanks!
Beautiful.
Could you please post the name of the mat you have your plants on? Thank you for all the awesome information you give us.

Always fun and good information. With this Stihltool you look like a space-ranger with a fancy blasting lasersomething gun. 🪚👩🏼🚀
Yes well truth to tell that has always been my secret dream! 🐇
Lovely garden tour!
Really enjoyed it, just wish that the plants mentioned were listed below.

Hello Bunny. I would very much appreciate knowing the alu' raised beds you use in the poly-tunnel please. Thank you so much. Gina.
Useful video. Tweezers not good for removing ticks, especially if you've not much experience. I don't see how their being sharp would help, above all you must get the whole tick out, anything sharp may rick breaking the tick up, which is to be avoided.

Superb - thank you. Which rose varieties will you plant for your shady, woodland area?
👍👌
God it looks like shit here in zone 3b now. Looks gorgeous there Bunny

Charles Dowding has commissioned perfect 60-cell, big-holed seed trays with Containerwise "CD60" 😀
Yes he said he was going to, he rang me up to find out where to get my polystyrene cells from as he wanted some but they no longer make them. 🐇
Love that blue plant what is its name.

There's a leak of a sort obelisk in the meadow portion. Can we see a full view and a link to them? They seem perfect for my salvia that flops.
Not sure what you mean, how far in in the video if you can bare to watch again and I’ll take a look?
@@bunnyguinness @Bunny Guinness Hi Bunny. At the very start of the video you're sitting down and there are 2 small obelisks/plant supports with a finial on top on either side of you.

Hi Bunny, I really enjoy your videos and the tips you give us. I live in Greece and please tell me what kind of magnolia is this?
Thank you.
Hi it’s Magnolia x loebneri 🐇

Oh... forgot to ask .... what is the name and make of that fabbo hand held mini chainsaw you are using ??

Hello Bunny, what do you use for greenhouse shading?
Bunny, what was the name of the lovely blue flowering plant you said was one of your favorites for summer color? Also, could you tell me the name of the white Magnolia tree that is blooming?
Plumbago is the blue flower.
Magnolia x loebneri
plumbago my fav...you take your cuttings in the spring?
Yes just waiting to get enough news growth on them, the leaves are just shooting now so I reckon by end of May I will have enough growth and will take cuttings then and put in greenhouse. Don’t bother with bottom heat or hormone powder as they are quick and easy🐇
@@bunnyguinness thanks so much for your reply...mine are ready now i’ll do this tomorrow ...do you think coco coir would be the best for starts?
What were the blue flowers called?
Plumbago
@@bridgetprice4509 Thank you! 😊. Am writing that down.
could you add the names of the plants onto the screen as I cannot find one of them, because of my spelling no doubt

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. It was the yellow plant beginning with e that I couldn't find.
Ah the Erythronium Pagoda under the hazels.,a bulbous perennial that is really easy to grow and spreads well
Splendid, thanks
Love this channel but the ads are killing it. So very frequent-they are a huge distraction.
