    I am from Pakistan and I live in Lahore. I love gardens but as I don't have one, I use my enormous terrace to potter and enjoy both flowers, herbs and even a few vegetables. Our summers ate hot! Pottolacca- I haven't a clue how it's spelt, does really well in pots and this summer I have scores of small bees humming and enjoying these vibrant flowers after the lush petunias faded away beginning of summer.
    My roses need a lot of care. I just saw a video where you talked about black spot. I am really pleased as I had just noticed a couple of leaves decaying with a similar fungus. So thank you.

    A recommendation from zone 6a - I just planted calamint for the first time earlier this summer. (Not catmint but calamint). It has not stopped blooming and looks fresh and plump in this crazy heat wave we’ve all been enduring! I got the soft powdery blue variety (cloud blue, I believe it’s called) but the white is equally lovely. It doesn’t look terribly impressive in photos but let me attest to its power in the garden at the front of the border. And the bees love it, too! 🐝 I did a row of calamint, lady’s mantel and crystal blue profusion salvia and it’s stellar!!

Your videos and the magazines have helped me create an amazing perennial garden on a slope in US zone 5. I have designed it to reflect an English border garden and planned the plants to provide year-round interest. So the long-blooming plants video gave me some great new ideas. I love the chelsea chop!! My gardens delight so many walkers and even motorists. They often stop if they see me out working and are so appreciative. It’s my way of sharing the gift and for me, the ultimate joy of gardening-sharing moments of beauty with others. Gardens and flowers do touch hearts…Happy Digging
