Please never stop giving garden tours, it truly brings joy to my day. Currently watching while washing up the b’fast things just befor the stressful Milton Keynes school run begins 😷 thank you so much 🍁
So beautiful. When I see the pink Sedums next to the 'dwarf' Cypress, I get an image of a swaying, pink flowering 'Malepartus' grass, together with them...
Thank you Paul! 45 minutes!!! Enjoyed it very much, I just want to say I do enjoy all garden shows or videos and some leave me discouraged but your videos are always encouraging and make me love my garden, thank you again take care, Evie
I am so pleased you managed the 45 minutes! Even more pleasing is you feel encouraged and energised in your own garden - That makes me happy Evie - thank you for telling me.
Well said! I wouldn't put it better way! Some videos have discouraged me from trying new things/improving my garden, it seemed so beyond my abilities, however Paul's videos always encourage me to make my garden better, and enjoy the process. Thank you!!!
Thank you Paul! it’s still beautiful in early autumn, lovely to hear the bees flying, wind blowing and good laughs 😊 and.. i can’t wait to see the picturesque breathtaking beauty of early morning frost on fallen leaves and dried eryngium in ur garden this winter ❄️
Thank you very much for another beautiful video you have a beautiful garden lots of different varieties you’re so awesome you know all the names. Thank you for sharing your garden with us. GBU
Hello Paul. Another enjoyable tour of the garden! It is still very beautiful. In my area we had a unusually wet summer which was good for all the plants. Now it’s starting to cool at night and the yard is starting to look tired. So nice to see the different aspects of your garden at this time of the year. Thank you.
Hi Jane, I am pleased you found the video interesting. It's been a really varied year here weather-wise - drought and heat in Spring - rain and more rain in Summer - and now a glorious September looking like Summer. I love your comments - thank you.
Hello, my dearest friend !! Oh .... your garden is a real, exquisite wonder in every season .... And the autumn that is coming with its colors and its atmosphere will make it so dreamy and even more romantic. I'm sure. Watching your videos is a moment of pure joy and enchantment. I can't even imagine how wonderful your garden must be being there with you! Thank you, dear Paul! I send you a big hug from Milan. See you soon, my friend! Renata
I was thinking its time to see you again and there you are.Good to see you and the garden again Paul.Your garden videos were my guilty little pleasure with a cuppa and now my husband has become addicted to your videos as well.Id like to thank you for sharing your garden with us.It kept me entertained and encouraged while I was awaiting spring.I wish I could give the favour back to you as you go towards winter.I did not realise you had as many rhodos and azaleas as you do.Enjoy your autumnal colours Paul and cant wait for the next installment from your garden.By the way ,the roses on the side of the house are huge.Good job .Take care and all the best x
It is an enormous pleasure for me to have such lovely people in all parts of the world enjoying the videos - and now your husband as well - I love it! It's interesting you mention you didn't realise there were so many rhodos and azaleas in the garden - neither did I - I was surprised too! Have a great Spring - you give the favour back Yvonne, every time you make these lovely comments. All the best from a sunny/rainy/hot/cold/can't make its mind up England
Aw,you are the sweetest man.I mean everything I say.To have the priviledge of being invited into your garden has meant so much.Your demenour,humour and gentle love of nature is enchanting.As you know,I adore England and you make me feel like I am there.Keep happy and well Paul
I'm really pleased you are enjoying the videos - watch the waterlily video - ua-cam.com/video/lwlH1BPm97s/v-deo.html they make a great addition to a wildlife pond. My newts love to rest in the shade under their leaves.
Oh Paul, I am so happy to see your video! I was hoping you would post one very soon and you did. Lol... I love your garden and all the details you give on your plants. I find very helpful! What a blessing you are to your family, to us here on UA-cam, and to nature in planting such beauty! Today is our 2nd day of Fall in the U.S. I am trying to plant some fall perennials and a few annuals. The last time I posted to one of your videos, I had written that I really taken off in feeding my hummingbirds and other birds in my yard. I put out 4 hummingbird feeders and now 8 regular bird feeders. I have had a great time in increasing my bird traffic to my yard and watching them all enjoying the food I put out. Because of you, I have also increased my bird baths to my yard and will put a pond in next spring. Thank you, for sharing your lovely garden with us all! Many blessings to you, my far away gardening friend!!! Sincerely, Joy Carey U.S.--Winder, Georgia
Hi Joy, Thank you for your lovely message. I am so pleased the birds are flocking to your garden and you enjoy them so much, I am so envious of your hummingbirds; what a special little bird that is - it is only found in the Americas and is the only bird that can fly backwards (and upside down)! I love those kinds of little facts 😊 Your birds will love the bird baths - they use them right through the Winter. That is going to be so exciting creating a pond - what a fabulous addition to your garden. Best wishes from England.
Those Flowers are truly Beautiful....and i love to hear the sound of Bees in your garden....so attractive....Sir!! Thank you for sharing your lovely time in the garden....Good wishes to you and yours.....Good night from North Borneo.
Hi Paul, it's a beautiful day here in Glasgow, just came in from the garden picked up my phone and your video was there was so pleased have been sitting having a coffee enjoying your vlog gardens looking fab as usual take care 😊🌞🌹🌸🌺🌻🌼
Another lovely beautiful video dear Paul👍🏼 I learn so much about plants 🌺 and what benefits them and also things I could improve. I like your detailed yet succinct narrative style, the trailing commentary of planted pathways and the humour.. all making it a very nice video to watch. You are an inspiring person🌟 I look forward to your next video, thank you🙏🏼
Thank you Jeanette; your words give me confidence and reassurance and mean so much to me. I really appreciate all the positive comments I receive on this channel and the very many lovely people who enjoy watching the videos. 🌺
Paul, I am soooo envious of your azaleas, they look so vigorous and healthy. Your wilting hydrangea leaves made me smile, that's what I get daily through the hot summer months here in Madrid. Despite being on irrigation they tend to get stressed out in July and August. This last week of lower temperatures has made a huge difference to all the plants in the garden. Your climbing rose has finally got its act together and is looking great!
Ha, you must have rolled your eyes Una when I showed surprise at it wilting - not usual for us in September. That white hydrangea is the only one that wilts - I think it's because it's virtually under the greedy buddleia and the crab apple. That must be tough for you if they all wilt - actually now I think; all the rhododendrons are prone to wilting too 😆 I'm thrilled with that climbing rose - but i think it's now going to grow too tall!
We totally rely on an irrigation system from May to mid September and I am constantly looking at the weather forecast to see how much water to give and how frequently. Luckily here in the mountains autumn brings the rains so I can turn off the irrigation and turn on manually only if I need to. Be careful your rose doesn't hear you...... you complained she wasn't climbing so she got her act together, you might hurt her feelings if you tell her she's overdoing it now 😂😂😂
That's it exactly. I have lived in Spain for over 40 years and I still hate the extreme heat in summer. I can deal with mountain storms and snow but not the heat. What's your connection to Spain Paul. That expression and in perfect Spanish doesn't come from school Spanish
I didn't do any languages at school Una - well, a bit of English here and there 😅. I had a spell of 5 years in Europe, living variously in France, Germany and Spain. Loved every minute of it. Went to a language college in Barcelona - then Malaga - then, because I spoke Spanish, got a job as a tour leader in Mexico & South America. Great times.
Lovely surprise this AM....ur vlog just as my coffee finished brewing:) love touring ur garden during the different seasons....nature is doing its thing. Love ur rhubarb...both my brother and oldest son (gardeners) neither of their rhubarb beds did well this year and they live about 100 miles apart. Look forward to seeing late Fall vlog. Stay well.
That sounds nice having a coffee break - I'm so pleased my video was part of it Nadine. The bed with the rhubarb was a fruit bed but the azaleas are taking over! Those rhubarb need so much goodness and water, otherwise they flop.
Awesome garden Paul!!💚❤️🌹!!! I feel i am a pauper when i compare your garden to mine🤣😂😄. Ok Paul... am convinced your a pro... a true blue gardener! Lol🤣😂. Thanks for sharing!
You are too kind Marie - but your garden will have lots of different interest and plants - isn't it nice that all our gardens are so different and interesting. Me a pro gardener? No, just an enthusiastic gardener who makes lots of mistakes!
Hi Paul, thanks for the sedum Chelsea chop tip I must remember next year. Glad to see your philadelphus recovered ok..they're tough as old boots & your azalea rhododendron borders are gonna look spectacular next spring. Look forward to your next vid keep safe mate.
Cheers Stephen, I'm going to experiment a bit more with the Chelsea chop - perhaps all the front ones and tier them towards the back. Thanks for your comment mate.
Hi Paul! Great video! Interesting about the Hydrangeas going pink is actually a fungus!! Also thanks for explaining the "Chelsea chop". I used to think it was a pretty severe haircut! Excited to see how all your Azealias will do next Spring, the new dwarf ones you planted and the older ones you rescued 😊.
Lovely to hear from you Maureen. I'll bet you've been enjoying this lovely warm weather this last week - the hydrangea is happy now that I watered it and it rained all last night! I think I need a Chelsea chop as well as the perennials. 😊 I do seem to have a lot of azaleas - but wow, do they perform.
Paul. i am so jealous of your hydrangeas. I have been gardening for a few years and yes I am always learning. I did not have much experience back then when I first started so some of the flowers are not strategically planted. My hydrangeas were all scorched and looking pathetic as we have had a few heat waves here in Britanny, France. I replanted this beautiful hydrangea early spring this year, near the hedge and magically I was able to enjoy the blooms. But when the first heat wave came, it was struggling to survive as the surrounding soil were not really moist. Now I am trying to find a place where I can plant all this acid-loving bushes and and be sheltered from afternoon sun as well. Our garden is South and South-West facing, so finding a place is a big headache.
I love the hydrangeas too - we also had those heat waves this year on the Southerly winds. Some of mine got scorched leaves but they all flowered well - as long as they were well watered. I hope you find a suitable place for them - it does make a difference.
Have you thought about lifting the skirt on your laurel bush in the front garden. That way you get the height but can still see through it. Beautiful as always ❤️ thankyou
I hadn’t thought of that! Actually I was thinking of taking it out but now you’ve suggested that - I’m going to give it a go. Brilliant idea thank you.
Hi I'm ur new friends here, and I really likes ur flower and nature around of its, I'm enjoying watching ur beautiful flowers gardeb,, have a blessed day sir!!!
What a similar garden you have to mine. It is a great learning experience hearing your expertise. I, too, have kept a Laurel but ultimately it was best to take it out as it cramps and suppresses surrounding plants. I am new to foxgloves, I cannot believe I never thought to move them from where they self seed, I wonder if I am subconsciously worrying about the digitoxin. Oh no I have to go to work now, but I haven't finished the video! Drat, I was enjoying it very much. You make such lovely videos.
Hello Margaret, thank you for saying I have expertise - I'm not sure all my plants would agree with you - what did you think of the philadelphus? Not bad eh? I suspect you were expecting a post mortem? 🤣. In Britain we are so used to foxgloves that we don't give them a second thought - when I think about it I have been dealing with lots of poisonous plants: laburnum, Angels Trumpet, lily of the valley, lords and ladies - I wear gloves though. Sorry you had to go to work half way through the video - I hope you have time to finish it later - it is a bit long isn't it!
(quiet at work, watched the rest ! ) Oh, did I laugh loudly when I saw the Proof of Life footage of the Philadelphus! Ye of little faith, I thought for sure you had killed it in the Northern England Chainsaw Massacre!
I was thinking of you when I turned the camera from the mophead to the 'mini' philadelphus - oh, the video proof is such a sweet thing 🤗. They make things tough 'up north'!
It is a good thing that it is tough, because it is beautiful. Definitely a rejuvenation prune success story... but you had everyone worried for a while, haha : D
The azaleas were small plants in the garden when I bought the house and I put them in pots, so unfortunately I don't know the exact name but it is an evergreen azalea.
Hello Paul! I enjoy watching your garden videos and am especially interested in the little flying visitors you get regularly. Do they visit at this time of the year or do they migrate to warmer climes?
Hi Kezang, that's a really good question! I presume you mean the bees? The smaller ones are honey bees - they are such an important pollinator for our plants and vital for our food crops. Although there are 'wild' ones, most live in hives and are cared for by bee enthusiasts who harvest some of the honey they make. One of the reasons the bees make a lot of honey is because they store it in their hives so they have food over the Winter. It's too cold to fly in the Winter so they stay huddled together in the hive. There might be around 30,000 bees in a hive in the Summer. The larger bees are the bumble bees. There are 24 different kinds of bumble bee in the UK - all with slightly different lifestyles. The bees live only until Autumn - leaving only the queen bees. They have already mated so they find a nest site and hibernate through the Winter. In late Spring they lay their eggs and the cycle starts again. It's always exciting for us to see the first bees of the year visiting our plants. It's why gardeners like to have some plants which flower early so there is food for the first bees when the emerge. I also like to have late flowering plants like the sedums in this video - so there is plenty of food for them just before Winter.
Actually I was referring to the birds and not the bees, Paul. Thank you for covering the subject of bees though. I learned a lot from what you shared here.😊
Sorry about that 😂 I often get the birds and bees mixed up! Some of the birds live here year round such as the long-tailed tits, blue tits, finches, sparrows and some of the robins. I believe some robins and certainly many blackbirds and starlings fly in for our mild Winters from Scandinavia and Siberia. The doves and pigeons stay year round. Some of the blackcap warblers stay here now but used to fly off to Africa and the Southern Mediterranean. All our swallows, swifts and house martins fly to Africa. This subject fascinates me and is becoming clearer now through modern technology as we can track individual birds better. As you will see in subsequent Winter videos we have lots of birds in the garden in the Winter including 'our' birds such as the finches, tit family, jays, woodpeckers as well as the incoming Winter migrants...redwings, waxwings, fieldfares etc.
Hydrangea, hydra comes from the greek word υδωρ (ythwr) stress on the first syllable meaning water. So yes these plants need a hell of a lot of water. I have never grown them in Greece, I think they need a shady spot to survive.
Very nice Paul! Our crabapples here are susceptible to fireblight. Do you think that's what might be attacking your crabapple? Doe it look like the foliage is burnt/crispy? I'm curious to see how the lavenders come back?
Thank you - I think you might be right about fireblight - only thing is it affects the whole tree evenly whereas I think fireblight is more localised. Does that describe yours? I'll take a close look at the leaves; I also think I should feed that area and improve the soil. Yes, those lavender - it's going to be interesting and depending how they are in June will then be the basis of my regime over the coming years.
@@paultsworld I personally don't have that problem on my crabapple, but I have seen it affect large portions of a tree. Improving the soil and water will help the tree for sure. Do you have a local Garden Center that you can take a sample of the branch to and they can confirm whether it is fire blight or perhaps just a soil and water issue?
Hell of a production, Paul! Only 1 view coming from me on this beaut. ;) Good news is that I now know it takes about 40 minutes to roll a batch of my suet. Ahhhh...Autumn again init? Long render, I bet. Bummer about the glitch @ 28:00. And, those poor lavender...not sure if they'll make it. :P Cheers!
That's so good of you Nate to time your suet from my videos 😂 I love it! I'll bet your area is looking fabulous at this time of year, I'm looking forward to the drone shots of it all. The lavender are tough - they'll come through (I hope ). Yes, that glitch was disappointing - not quite sure how it happened, the visuals rolled back a couple of frames for some reason - difficult to keep checking on these longer videos. All best from England.
Paul T's World Haha! The colors are just starting to change in my area; it is quite a treat, but doesn’t last long. With luck, I can scoop up a bit of footage before it’s time to blow all the leaves out of the garden. 🤞🏼 🥂
I don't know the exact type of azalea Twyla, I was given the plant many years ago, it is an evergreen one and they all flower this well. Sorry I can't be more exact - but at a guess it could be 'Arabesk'.
That's a good question Audrey. I do add compost round specific plants - so some areas are better then others. This coming Winter and Spring I'll try and mulch more areas.
Hello. Excellent question - it's a hebe. I don't recall the exact one - it does look nice but it is not totally hardy in my climate (9a). It was much bigger and doing well, then over a Winter it was knocked back and so I cut it right back and it is looking nice again.
@@paultsworld Thank you! I looked into it and you probably have frozen flame or heartbreaker. They look so nice. Unfortunately I'm zone 10 and they won't survive here. Once again thank you for replying.
Arcade Thank you - I’ll check those two. As you say it does look pretty but I’ve never done well with hebes. Interesting not good for you either in zone 10. That settles it - I won’t be tempted by them!
Fantastic! I love the editing job too. Helps us to learn from you. Keep up the good work! :)
That's very nice of you Jennifer - I'm so pleased you enjoyed the garden and the video.
Please never stop giving garden tours, it truly brings joy to my day. Currently watching while washing up the b’fast things just befor the stressful Milton Keynes school run begins 😷 thank you so much 🍁

My hydrangeas were all scorched and looking pathetic as we have had a few heat waves here in Britanny, France. I replanted this beautiful hydrangea early spring this year, near the hedge and magically I was able to enjoy the blooms. But when the first heat wave came, it was struggling to survive as the surrounding soil were not really moist. Now I am trying to find a place where I can plant all this acid-loving bushes and and be sheltered from afternoon sun as well. Our garden is South and South-West facing, so finding a place is a big headache.
I love the hydrangeas too - we also had those heat waves this year on the Southerly winds. Some of mine got scorched leaves but they all flowered well - as long as they were well watered.
I hope you find a suitable place for them - it does make a difference.
Have you thought about lifting the skirt on your laurel bush in the front garden. That way you get the height but can still see through it. Beautiful as always ❤️ thankyou
I hadn’t thought of that! Actually I was thinking of taking it out but now you’ve suggested that - I’m going to give it a go. Brilliant idea thank you.
I LOVE IT!!!!
Thank you Christina!
Hi I'm ur new friends here, and I really likes ur flower and nature around of its, I'm enjoying watching ur beautiful flowers gardeb,, have a blessed day sir!!!
Thank you Megs and welcome to my channel - I am pleased you enjoy the garden.
Beautiful 😍
Thanks Yvencia.
What a similar garden you have to mine. It is a great learning experience hearing your expertise. I, too, have kept a Laurel but ultimately it was best to take it out as it cramps and suppresses surrounding plants. I am new to foxgloves, I cannot believe I never thought to move them from where they self seed, I wonder if I am subconsciously worrying about the digitoxin. Oh no I have to go to work now, but I haven't finished the video! Drat, I was enjoying it very much. You make such lovely videos.
Hello Margaret, thank you for saying I have expertise - I'm not sure all my plants would agree with you - what did you think of the philadelphus? Not bad eh? I suspect you were expecting a post mortem? 🤣.
In Britain we are so used to foxgloves that we don't give them a second thought - when I think about it I have been dealing with lots of poisonous plants: laburnum, Angels Trumpet, lily of the valley, lords and ladies - I wear gloves though.
Sorry you had to go to work half way through the video - I hope you have time to finish it later - it is a bit long isn't it!
(quiet at work, watched the rest ! ) Oh, did I laugh loudly when I saw the Proof of Life footage of the Philadelphus! Ye of little faith, I thought for sure you had killed it in the Northern England Chainsaw Massacre!
I was thinking of you when I turned the camera from the mophead to the 'mini' philadelphus - oh, the video proof is such a sweet thing 🤗. They make things tough 'up north'!
It is a good thing that it is tough, because it is beautiful. Definitely a rejuvenation prune success story... but you had everyone worried for a while, haha : D
I might cross my fingers a little if we have a bad Winter 🥶
10:00 wich Typ of Azalea is this please. Soo beautiful!!
It is so beautiful - unfortunately I didn't buy it so don't know the exact name - but it is an evergreen azalea.
Very beautiful 😍👍
That’s nice of you - thank you.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Other side looks greener they say so true
We say the same Anees! "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"
6:50 Soo beautiful! Wich variety of Azalea is this please ?
The azaleas were small plants in the garden when I bought the house and I put them in pots, so unfortunately I don't know the exact name but it is an evergreen azalea.
Beautiful garden! Would the potted plants be okay outside in winter?
Thank you Diptadip. I am in zone 9a so all my pot plants are OK in a normal Winter.
Hi garden is fantastic 👏 😍❤
That's kind thank you.
Hi your welcome
Hello Paul!
I enjoy watching your garden videos and am especially interested in the little flying visitors you get regularly. Do they visit at this time of the year or do they migrate to warmer climes?
Hi Kezang, that's a really good question! I presume you mean the bees?
The smaller ones are honey bees - they are such an important pollinator for our plants and vital for our food crops. Although there are 'wild' ones, most live in hives and are cared for by bee enthusiasts who harvest some of the honey they make. One of the reasons the bees make a lot of honey is because they store it in their hives so they have food over the Winter. It's too cold to fly in the Winter so they stay huddled together in the hive. There might be around 30,000 bees in a hive in the Summer.
The larger bees are the bumble bees. There are 24 different kinds of bumble bee in the UK - all with slightly different lifestyles. The bees live only until Autumn - leaving only the queen bees. They have already mated so they find a nest site and hibernate through the Winter. In late Spring they lay their eggs and the cycle starts again. It's always exciting for us to see the first bees of the year visiting our plants. It's why gardeners like to have some plants which flower early so there is food for the first bees when the emerge. I also like to have late flowering plants like the sedums in this video - so there is plenty of food for them just before Winter.
Actually I was referring to the birds and not the bees, Paul.
Thank you for covering the subject of bees though. I learned a lot from what you shared here.😊
Sorry about that 😂 I often get the birds and bees mixed up!
Some of the birds live here year round such as the long-tailed tits, blue tits, finches, sparrows and some of the robins. I believe some robins and certainly many blackbirds and starlings fly in for our mild Winters from Scandinavia and Siberia. The doves and pigeons stay year round. Some of the blackcap warblers stay here now but used to fly off to Africa and the Southern Mediterranean. All our swallows, swifts and house martins fly to Africa.
This subject fascinates me and is becoming clearer now through modern technology as we can track individual birds better.
As you will see in subsequent Winter videos we have lots of birds in the garden in the Winter including 'our' birds such as the finches, tit family, jays, woodpeckers as well as the incoming Winter migrants...redwings, waxwings, fieldfares etc.
Thank you so much, Paul.
Will keep a lookout for your winged visitors in future videos.😊
Hydrangea, hydra comes from the greek word υδωρ (ythwr) stress on the first syllable meaning water. So yes these plants need a hell of a lot of water. I have never grown them in Greece, I think they need a shady spot to survive.
Thank you for the explanation - I love seeing the Greek written letters. In Greece I think they would prefer a nice shady spot.
Wow so nice
Thanks - all the best.
Amazing 😍😍😍
Thank you!
Very nice Paul! Our crabapples here are susceptible to fireblight. Do you think that's what might be attacking your crabapple? Doe it look like the foliage is burnt/crispy? I'm curious to see how the lavenders come back?
Thank you - I think you might be right about fireblight - only thing is it affects the whole tree evenly whereas I think fireblight is more localised. Does that describe yours? I'll take a close look at the leaves; I also think I should feed that area and improve the soil.
Yes, those lavender - it's going to be interesting and depending how they are in June will then be the basis of my regime over the coming years.
@@paultsworld I personally don't have that problem on my crabapple, but I have seen it affect large portions of a tree. Improving the soil and water will help the tree for sure. Do you have a local Garden Center that you can take a sample of the branch to and they can confirm whether it is fire blight or perhaps just a soil and water issue?
bluesky7226 Yes, I’ll look into it further - would be nice to sort it out.
Hell of a production, Paul! Only 1 view coming from me on this beaut. ;) Good news is that I now know it takes about 40 minutes to roll a batch of my suet.
Ahhhh...Autumn again init? Long render, I bet. Bummer about the glitch @ 28:00. And, those poor lavender...not sure if they'll make it. :P
Cheers!
That's so good of you Nate to time your suet from my videos 😂 I love it!
I'll bet your area is looking fabulous at this time of year, I'm looking forward to the drone shots of it all.
The lavender are tough - they'll come through (I hope ).
Yes, that glitch was disappointing - not quite sure how it happened, the visuals rolled back a couple of frames for some reason - difficult to keep checking on these longer videos. All best from England.
Paul T's World
Haha! The colors are just starting to change in my area; it is quite a treat, but doesn’t last long. With luck, I can scoop up a bit of footage before it’s time to blow all the leaves out of the garden. 🤞🏼
🥂
You've some of the best Autumn colour in the World there Nate - I'm expecting great drone footage (no pressure 😆)
Paul T's World
Haha! 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Beautiful garden! What type of Azalea is it at the 6:48 mark?
I don't know the exact type of azalea Twyla, I was given the plant many years ago, it is an evergreen one and they all flower this well. Sorry I can't be more exact - but at a guess it could be 'Arabesk'.
@@paultsworld Oh, no worries. Thanks for responding. I was wondering if it was the Encore Azalea that blooms in Spring, summer and Fall.
@@maplewheat2010 Oh, I see. All mine only flower in Spring. I'll check out these Encore - I don't know much about them.
@@paultsworld Ok, but yours are pretty. Thanks for responding. Have a great day!
Do you add compost to your garden yearly? Your garden dirt looks rich.
That's a good question Audrey. I do add compost round specific plants - so some areas are better then others. This coming Winter and Spring I'll try and mulch more areas.
Hi, at 5:30, what is the name of the plant to the right of the Heuchera?
Hello. Excellent question - it's a hebe. I don't recall the exact one - it does look nice but it is not totally hardy in my climate (9a). It was much bigger and doing well, then over a Winter it was knocked back and so I cut it right back and it is looking nice again.
@@paultsworld Thank you! I looked into it and you probably have frozen flame or heartbreaker. They look so nice. Unfortunately I'm zone 10 and they won't survive here. Once again thank you for replying.
Arcade Thank you - I’ll check those two. As you say it does look pretty but I’ve never done well with hebes. Interesting not good for you either in zone 10. That settles it - I won’t be tempted by them!
Like friend
Thank you.
💕💕💕❤💥
Thanks Tatiana!
