Thanks, but Chelsea Chop is no plant. It is a cut in Mai to strengthen the plant and to to prevent it from tipping forward as it grows larger (as explained in the video too!)
You're such a fantastic presenter. Always showing various gardens, great subject content, and always asking the best questions.
Thank you
Geraniums are fantastic plants.
So easy to grow in any soil , and so many varieties.
Yes they are!
I could not be more glad of finding this channel. Thanks and congrats
Glad you enjoy it!
Gives an entirely new meaning to I love Lucy. I could listen to her all day. Swoon.
I love how you organize your videos, and how you include information about the plants. This is a great channel.
Thank you!
How elegant you look! Like a flower yourself. So well spoken and full of practical tips
This channel is literally my happy place. Never stop!
Thank you!
Thank you for another wonderful episode. I always learn something useful and appreciate the amount of work you do to help us improve our gardens.
Thank you!
Euphorbia!!!!! Amazing, brilliant, reliable, drought tolerant! Reseeds freely! My number one go to in drought stricken Northern California!
It is!
I learn so much and gather such inspiration. Thank you! My favorite part? Your "goodbye". Puts a smile on my face every time ❣️
Thank you!
That’s my favorite too 🥰
Thanks so much! You have inspired me to take another trip to the garden centre. 🌼
I hope it wasn't too expensive!
Thank you for sharing all your tips on keeping our garden beds in full bloom. 👍❤️😊
Thank you!
Alexandra, I think you are my favorite garden you tuber. I find such peace and knowledge watching your videos. You are right up there with Ygarden, Hortube, and the emEnthusiastic gardener for me , anyways. I ve been seriously gardening for ten years now and have learned that I think english gardens are my favorite. I love the flowy flowery beds with the formal structures of evergreens. Thank you so much for starting my Saturday mornings on a good note. Have a wonderful werkend.
Thank you so much, I like YGarden and Horttube too, and will check out the Enthusiastic Gardener.
Goodness me thank you Adra 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener 😊
I adore your channel! I’ve learned soo much from your videos! In American, it’s so hard to find gardening information for creating English style gardens, which is what I love. Your videos are helping me adjust and fine tune my borders, and they are looking amazing! Much thanks!
You are so welcome!
So wish I could plant as these gardens are-without fencing to keep out deer and rabbits. The deer would make Swiss cheese out of those hedges. All so beautiful-thank you!
Deer reportedly don't eat boxwood or yew! I have deer and elk to deal with!
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.
I love your post so interesting, I’m in north uk, we lack sun. So far yesterday was the first time it appeared and was warm enough 20 degrees to enjoy. Hearing about your wealth of sun got my imagination going imagining what that must be like ! Best wishes and happy gardening to you
Loved that tip at the end: clip 1/2 the chamomile, then the other 1/2 later.👍🏽
Appreciate you take the time to be aware of how a plant behaves in different countries!
Thank you!
No need to reply--I just wanted to say thank you so much for these wonderful videos. Beautiful, soothing, informative--it really is like a lovely mini vacation!
My ground orchids never stopped blooming all summer! Definite favorite
Thanks so much for lovely video with all the colourful flowering bushes for borders, useful information Thanks to your guests too.
Tqtq...💝💐
Thank you!
🌿🌳ALWAYS INFORMATIVE 🪴ALWAYS ENJOYABLE 🌿🌳ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL 🌿🌳
Thank you so much!
I would have never guessed that this was zone 4-9! Simply breathtaking! Thank you so much for the wonderful tour of Doddingtom Gardens and also the important information that you pointed out!
Just to clarify - the individual plants are hardy in various zones and I often feature plants that are happy in a wide range of zones, but this garden itself isn't zone 4-9, even though many of the plants in it would be fine in those zones.
This is a marvelous episode of your show. Thank you for posting. DA
Thank you!
Fabulous video! Thank you!!
What amazing videos you put out every week!!! Thank you for all the knowledge you have given me. Sending love from NYC in America. God bless.
Thank you!
7 plants.... nahhh
6 plants and one bonus plant... YEEEESSSS!
That made me smile!
Hi Alexandra, Thank you for sharing this with us! I love your video so much and I wish I could subscribe twice. Instead, I watch your videos multiple times. They are always very informative and well presented. Cheers from Canada!
Thank you! And it's always so interesting to hear where everyone is from.
In Kentucky, I save many many Middle-Sized vids to a favorite garden playlist.
Alexandra's Middle-Sized Garden channel, Linda Vater (USA), & John Lord (Ireland), seem to be the most-viewed (of course !!! )
Thank you for bringing the various ways to use the Chelsea Chop to our garden’s advantage.
Can I just say I’m so impressed with Lucy’s manicure 😂 how on earth does she keep her nails looking so elegant while being head gardener!
Heh, heh, I noticed that too. But the dirt under nail Polish….how would you know when you are done scrubbing? Anyways maybe she had a manicure for the video..
She didn't have a manicure for the video because she only had a couple of hours' notice (if that) that I was coming and no manicurists in deepest countryside!
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden but she did! Check out her red nails in your video! Lol
Gel nail varnish. Done in a salon. If done properly it last for weeks and is as tough as nails !
@@elsagrace3893that could be a concern unless you get a clear one. I save all my washing up till the end of the day. That usually is good enough.
Great tips here! Really enjoying the videos.
Your garden is BREATHTAKING
It's a beautiful garden, but it's not mine - it's Doddington Place - and lovely, as you say.
just started watching the video and already love how you're explaining everything in such detail!
Thank you!
What a delightful find you are! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a fab channel! Easy to understand for the novice gardener as well as the more experienced person. Best youtube find i have made. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you. Loved this 💚
Absolutely breathtaking!
Fantastic channel! Really appreciate how you go to these lovely public gardens and interview professional gardeners
Thank you!
A few of these recommended flowers will add so much to my borders that need filling in. The tip for repetition is well taken! 😅💚
Thank you!
As always, I come away with significant top tips! Thank you
Happy to hear that!
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!!
I like how full the gardens are
I’ve watched many of your videos several times. So much great information and so many wonderful ideas for this Pacific Northwest gardener! Thank you. Your voice is so soothing, I should try listening at bedtime to get to sleep!
Thank you!
Beautiful garden
Thank you all for all gardening tips wow
Wonderful plants the knautia.
Nicely done.
Thank you. Loved this one. ❤
I wouldn’t be without my carpet roses. They flower from the first week of July and go right through to December.
Thank you so much and family members and friends so much!together!and a lot of videos show me to America today and Tomorrow
So beautiful 😍💖
This was so helpful in trying to figure out what types of plants to grow for the summer here in mid Missouri usa. We are zone 6/7
Need more about The Blue Campaign esp since Kent residents have been complaining about roadside verges.
Magnificent plants and installation ❣
Jerri, look at bird bath
I live in NZ & am currently doing a horticultural course. I play your videos while I'm studying. You are so inspiring! I have learnt so much useful information from you. Keep up the good work! 💕
Thank you so much, I'm very pleased to hear that.
I’m new to the gardening world. I love your videos, they are very informative. It is so interesting how there are so many different ideas and designs. 🌼🐝🪴
Thank you, that's lovely to hear.
That was beautiful and such useful information
Thank you so much Alexandra,I have taken lots of notes as usual.Am on a huge learning process and look forward to Saturdays to hear all your tips.Your time and effort is much appreciated.
That's great to hear, thank you so much for saying so.
Loved this video as most educational .Weeds are universal and how to stop them is the only tip i need .Though all of your work is worth watching
Thank you!
Such a great informative video. Thankyou for condensing years of your experience in a short video.
Thank you for this!!! 💖💖💖💖
Hello Alexandra, what a peaceful place, I can understand why you like it. Great Video and there are 3 of my favorit plats in it. ❣
Always grateful for your content! I'm especially happy when your videos spotlight specific species and their care needs - that helps one to focus on plant material that excites.
Thank you!
Once again, wonderful.
Thank you!
Your videos are wonderful, helpful and very enlightening x

Glad you like them!
I LOVE your videos! They’re are so well thought out and curated. Thank you SO much!!! 😊🙌🥰💜🌷🌺🌹🌸
Thank you!
I love your videos Alexandra!! I really appreciate it
Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed this, learnt a lot and have subscribed.
Lovely.... thank you.💐
I love this border series. All of the videos are chocked full of great information and are giving me a lot of ideas. Thank you so much for providing this information and beautiful gardens.
You are so welcome!
This video persuaded me to try an Astrantia this coming season. I am focusing on plants for native bees, and I hope that they will like the Astrantia. Thanks for introducing me to this flower.
Wow! Such generous, good advice. Thank you for your consistent, concise, expert opinion on making smart choices and thereby enjoying the gardening experience so much more. You are the best.
Thank you!
This is the third Middlesized Garden video I've watched and I've now subscribed. The gardens are always beautiful, the production quality is great, and the content well thought-out.
Also, there's a pale green plant with large leaves at 7:00. I'm quite curious what that might be!
Thank you so much!
I've had a look but I can't quite make it out, sorry!
Great video as always, excellent suggestions. I do love a bonus plant!
King, look at bird bath
Lovely! Many thanks. 🙂
Just subbed. Love this subject and well said 🌹
What a beautiful selection. Once our heatwave subsides, I'll see what is available locally. Thanks as always.
Good luck with the heatwave, it sounds overwhelming.
As always, another video full of useful info. Thanks, Alexandra :)
Thank you!
Thank you for this informative video. I live in the US Zone 5 and I am on a sand ridge....quite a challenge for growing flowers. Your tips were very helpful.
Hi Alexander, thank you so much for the informative chat, now we can pick and choose what we wish to grow. There are quite a few old time favourites which always work and compliment our gardens. It's lovely to grow perennials with the roses, each can compliment the other and also helping butterflies and bees with their pollination schedule for the day. Doddington Place has a beautiful garden lay-out alas, they do require the assistance of extra hands! It was so enjoyable to watch as always. Have a wonderful day, regards Elize :)
Thank you!
Tulips only has a short life thank you.
I did a Chelsea chop to my salvias for the first time this year, so glad I did! They’re coming back beautifully!
Well done, I always do it completely convinced I'm going to damage the plant. But it turns out fine in the end.
Another wonderful video! I'm so happy to learn about these long blooming flowers. Thank you so much, I'm adding many of these to my garden.
You are so welcome!
Thank you! I just love your channel, it is always so interesting and educational!
Thank you!
Thank you. I subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your videos!❤️
Thank you!
I love these tips - especially since I am a New York gardener and seek out the other variants of the "top sellers." Thanks for a great focused presentation - it is certainly one of your strengths.
Thank you!
Thanks excellent advise 😁
Alexandra ~ This was such a helpful video. I'm loving the perennial purple geranium I planted in my front border and cannot wait to add many more next season to other parts of the garden. It's been blooming fully since I planted it in April and still going strong! Your videos are so informative and knowledgeable. Thank you again!

Glad it was helpful!
Hi, I really love your channel, as a new Gardner from the weat coast of Ireland I am so excited and nervous to be starting my new garden but your videos are so useful, full of common sense keep up the good work! Tomás
Thank you so much, and good luck with your new garden.
Thank you.Just what I need to know
I loved the video and the way you present is easy to understand. Many thanks.😊
Thank you!
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
My favourite long flowering plants are Alstroemerias. Hardy osteospermums. Erodium manescavii. They flower for months And I just remembered perennial nemesias
Great suggestions!
Thank you so very much…I absolutely love your channel!! Each video is the perfect combo of tips and inspiration. I subscribe to a couple English gardening magazines. 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
Thank you So much, love the sound of your perennial slope.
