Your garden seems to get more and more beautiful every time I see it. Apart from your lovely plants, I always enjoy seeing all the butterflies and bees. Thank you.
Your videos are amazing together with your poetic words , s creative.Thank you for sharing. I'm especially luving your agapanthus , memories of my country of birth South Africa. Hi, from Austria 😍👏🌺🌻🌼🌸😊
Thank you for your lovely supportive comment, we can imagine how beautiful agapanthus look growing naturally in the South African landscape and how nostalgic that iconic memory must feel. Sending best wishes from England to Austria.
Hi, thanks for your lovely comment! The plants are hydrangea macrophylla, known as mophead hydrangeas. They were once indoor summer plants from a local supermarket, which we planted outdoors in the autumn but there was no specific cultivar name with them. For more info, this link to the RHS guide to shrubby hydrangeas may be helpful www.rhs.org.uk/plants/hydrangea/shrubby Best wishes.
Hi, sorry to be asking more questions,but would love to emulate some things you have in your garden. Your apple trees look really nice what root stock size did you buy and also do you have a link for the water butt that you bought and painted to put them in ?. Your metal wire achway with the bench inside is also gorgeous do you have a lonk to that also please ?. It must be lovely to sit in your garden and admire all this beauty. Thankyou. Sue.
Thank you for your message, Sue. Our ‘Red Windsor’ apples grow on M9 rootstock. The water butts were on special offer from Tesco online a fair while back, but are no longer supplied, unfortunately. They are 150 litre capacity, and we wouldn’t recommend anything smaller, as the trees do need a decent planting space. We drilled some drainage holes a couple of inches from the base (rather than underneath the butt) and filled this with a 2in depth of sand before planting, so that in summer some moisture is retained for thirsty trees. There are disadvantages to our style of container because it narrows towards the top, which lessens the available area to absorb rain water, and makes occasional top-dressing with fresh compost more difficult. So we would recommend considering a container with a wider top. The zinc arch was a wonderful sliver wedding anniversary present, ordered from Garden Requisites www.garden-requisites.co.uk/products/arches/.
Thanks so much Annette, quite an eco-system has emerged over the years with the apple trees, so there are ants and earth worms busy deep inside the pots doing much of the fertilising job for us. From late winter, we give one 10L watering can’s worth of dilute liquid fertiliser (high potassium) at fortnightly intervals 3 or 4 times, plus every 3-4 years we remove as much compost from the surface as possible in spring, and re-dress with fresh compost mixed with slow-release food capsules. I’m not sure what fruit experts would advise, but this seems to work for us! Sending best wishes.
Garden measures 9.5m x 10m (minus a small jutting section of the house). To put this in perspective, it is several metres shorter than the length of the most modern model of London double-decker bus, and the official median average garden size recorded across the UK is almost double the area of our garden.
The capture of the insects was fantastic, what a lovely Bee Friendly Garden you have ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, we do feel blessed to have many bees visiting the flowers, such characterful and precious little creatures.
Your videos are so beautiful I can barely stand to watch them. It's like the effect some poetry has on me, I get overwhelmed and have to stop.

Hi there, thanks for watching!
your garden doesn't look small at all. How small is it?
Garden measures 9.5m x 10m (minus a small jutting section of the house). To put this in perspective, it is several metres shorter than the length of the most modern model of London double-decker bus, and the official median average garden size recorded across the UK is almost double the area of our garden.
What zone are you in ? I’m zone 8 Texas
Sending greetings across to Texas. Here in Kent, South East England, we are also in USDA Zone 8.
What is the name of that lovely lemon yellow cosmos?
This is pretty Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Xanthos’.
@@ApplePeaFernSea Thank you!
Forgot to tell you ,my bamboo selfseed after flowering…
It will be wonderful if some baby bamboos germinate here for a new generation, thanks Annette.
