    Honestly best ever gardening channel, and wish to have the pleasure to see the garden grow and its progress in person one day for inspo. Absolutely such great professional advice all compact into one vid every time and simply so satisfying seeing as much as so help navigate years of gardening personal experience into a video. What a champ! Thank you and please keep up the excellent work.👌

    Longer the better, i love to binge to watch all your videos. They are so inspiring and make you feel energised even for a useless chocolate teapot like me. You are absolutely wonderful not to mention your sense of humour, you are an absolutely a breath of fresh air. You do real gardening unlike gardeners world etc. you are a sheer joy to watch and listen to. Also the only person whose mother like mine said gypsy-filly she also said Cotton-Easter for Contoneaster. ❤️

    "Strange times we live in. You can cut plants but you can't cut hair."
    Thanks for the smile, John! As an American, I need to watch your videos twice to catch everything you say, (double the pleasure!) but the same would probably be true for you understanding my Minnesota accent.

    Never worry about the video being too long - I saw 35 minutes and settled in for a lovely break (between classes - we are once again in lockdown so I am teaching virtually). Here in Ontario (we are Zone 5b), we are having an unusually warm April, and I have been out checking out my garden, trying to decide what and when to prune. Lo and behold, you share a video about pruning! Very timely.

    The states (at least zone 6 central standard) had unusually warm weather then it came back to remind us who is in control! Needless to say my big leaf hydrangeas got a bit of a frost on them also. Here's to hoping the blooms are not effected! It will be their first year to bloom in my garden!
