Yay ! I was only just this minute getting withdrawal symptoms .....watching through the old videos for the umpteenth time, thinking a new one was probably due ...and yay oh yay, oh joy, here it is !
I absolutely love your videos! Johns enthusiasm makes me so happy and encourages me to get out into my own garden!! He’s such a charmer and so full of information!! ❤️
The Black Lace Elderberry is so gorgeous. I bought two for my property and also I saw the smoke bush and I got that too. It'll help to create the contrast that my garden really needs.
Love that Lamium with the purple flowers.
Hi John.I found your videos a few weeks ago.Thank you for your enthusiasm also great tips so much information.Your gardens look amazing please keep doing what you do so well.God bless you and your family from the Irish women living in England 🌺🌻🌼🌺🌹.
You are my favorite gardener, from Maine across the pond!
It is a rather huge pond! And that pond allows the British Isles to have a love cool weather in the summer and mild winters. So I am very pleased with that pond!
Hi John, your black lace sambucus is gorgeous ! I have 2, plus another that is more fastigiate whose name I have forgotten, but the deer eat mine so not so pretty. Maybe one day. Thanks John, David, and Teddy in absentia, for another inspiring video!
Hello from Michigan! I'm so glad I found you and I've already learned so much. Thank You!
Greetings from sunny California. I absolutely love your videos and your style! Best gardening videos on the internet, no doubt. Was just wondering, how old is that mature Black Lace Elderberry? Stunning!
lovely garden, lovely shirt :)
Another excellent and entertaining video 👍❤️😊
Love your videos! 😀
Wow, 2-4 hours of work a week for a 2 acres garden. That’s impressive.
Well, you live in Ireland so you get rain. Here in Ontario Canada, we have had 1 1/4" rain in July and less than 1/2" in August. Nothing can survive if it is that dry. So watering is essential.
John, in 9.54 I noticed when you water the p!ants, you have the sun on your shirt and shorts. I was thi ki g , if the sun hits the p!ants too, that is not good for them to be watered that moment. I do not mean to i sult you, you know best of course. In Greece, we have so much sun during the day ,I mean even in September, that we have to wait till it goes down late afternoon, early evening and then water them. At the moment it has been raining like crazy here in Corfu, one week now but we do get stunning blue sky eventually. The thunderstorm with a lot of frightening noise, haha.
"A dog's dinner" pretty much describes what is going on in my shrub border right now.
Love your choice of the purple elder, the more I see it the more I’m falling in love with it, I have a type of the more common green elder in my garden but no purple yet. Wondering if the purple will help suppress brambles from a couple of neighbours gardens or do you have any suggestions of other plants that might help - I don’t want to put a hard barrier like a solid fence in nor use a weedkiller as we have visiting hedgehogs that come into our garden from said areas.
Teddy happy 4th of July there
Oof. I'm on year 2 of Firecracker Lysimachia. I love it's darker leaves and yellow flowers...But I do notice I have many more than I planted...
"Dig in a bit more organic matter." I don't think I've ever heard you say that before! I guess it's an exception because this soil isn't like the rest?
Yes you’re right it was just this particular spot. There was originally a pathway there which degraded the soil. But now it’s back to normal!
Thanks again for so much info. personally, I loved the Lace Top Hydrangea LOL
Hey John looking for flowering scrubs for a bank....its narrow and long with a slope on a 3ft retaining wall....6ft at narrow end..up to 14ft wide at widest end and up to 100ft long
At 6:00, is that one plant or three? Thanks for the great video
Hey John, you said you made sure to break a lot of the roots of the existing trees and shrubs to give the new flowers the chance to root in.
Is that not bad for the trees if you cut off roots.? I am always afraid to do that because I think I might kill them... greetings from Germany
My joe pye weed did not really grew big
It stand near a river the soil is very wet
Sunshine comes round about 11-12 am than it full sun until 15:30 than it is in half shadow for an an hour and then it gets sun until 18/19
Are these conditions to shady ?
Who purchases your shirts, John? Hahahaha. :)
‘Lir-eye-o-pee’?
Liriope is called monkey grass here in the southern USA. It is one tough plant. We moved a huge patch of it, just setting it down underneath a tree where it promptly took root without even being planted. Some folks think it is overused but I enjoy the purple flower spikes in the late summer.
I particularly like the variegated version for our region.
