So lovely!
Besides loving your video content I really appreciate your natural hair, face and teeth. I’m so disturbed by all the fakery going on in social media. You look cared for and vibrant and that’s beautiful.
Great content/info/ideas.. great channel
I need instructions on how to build a pond. I have been digging, but it keeps filling back up with mud. I will order a liner and a pump for a rock fountain, once I get the hole.
I have just subscribed to your channel despite the fact that I have a huge garden, and live in Australia! There are plenty of small areas though that do face south and are very shady so this video piqued my interest when it spontaneously popped up thanks to the YouTube fairies! Oh, I really wish we had hedgehogs here, they are adorable. I do have echidnas in my garden from time to time but they are extremely elusive. Thanks for the content, I am busy trawling through your previous videos and I am looking forward to seeing more in the future. Cheers from Oz! 🦘
Stunning garden,I love it and can take much inspiration to improve mine.
what kind of climbing bushes on the fence against the ivy fence?
Yes, lovely garden. Mine has 3 big old trees that drop thousands os leaves and many limbs and sticks. I hate it. Ivy is a pest as it invades the foundation. I consider it a weed. Would cost thousands to take out the trees.
What a lovely space. The pebble paths with plants coming up is particularly appealing.
I'm subscribing because everything is duable and achievable without costing the earth 🌹
Very useful thank you
I love this garden esp the little hedge hog house and the water garden tubs it was charming thank you x
A lovely inspirational garden
Dog wood
Lovely garden! Mine is pretty shady too. Found a hedgehog hibernating in the compost and was so happy about it!😍
That’s not narrow!!! Mine is 6 foot wide -that’s narrow.
Beautiful space there…
Thank you
Wow thankyou for everything it's wonderful garden and especially the way you explained ❤💤💥💫👍
Great show. So glad we found your channel. We are glad to see someone addressing our type of garden and style. Somewhere between Gardeners World and Beechgrove. Keep it coming!
👍👍👍🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Love this episode. Thank you thank you thank you
I have a north east facing huge balcony overlooking the Thames 🤦🏽♀️, in my excitement I bought sunflowers and a Dahlia and, tomato seeds, what flowers would you recommend, my heart was set on a few ranunculus ( not possible ? ) 🙁
This will be good. I've got a 4'x25' strip in Colorado. It's north facing, dry, unirrigated, rocky, windy, and steeply sloped. There is very little direct sunlight in that area, especially in the middle of the house. I think I'm going to try to imitate a meadow by seeding columbines, bulbs, foxgloves, Colorado asters, native American dicentra varieties, pansies, shooting stars, and maybe other things. This year, I'll try a test patch. I hope it works.
