Help! I followed yourinstructionsfor taking cuttings but the fuchsias cuttings havejust grown little leaves instead of roots. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Great tips, thanks champ 👍
Hi Lee, Excellent video.. Thank you very much. Terry
Fantastic 😍 love seeing your videos and tips
Great tips, especially with the colour wheel, not thought of that before.
Thanks, Lee. I am a new subscriber from Tennessee in the USA. Can't wait to catch up on your previous videos!
Thanks for the great tips! Loved the video.
Great guide, loved it. I think I prefer the monochromatic border colours, and I must try repeating plants in borders too. Thanks for a great video. Love Barry too 😁
could you please do a video on your grasses please, many thanks
Looking very nice Lee. I remember you planting that hedge, look how well its done! Hopefully you`ll have birds nesting in no time.
Great video 👍 really enjoyed watching 😊 my friend despite these corona times.
What great advice. I am afraid I have never realised that. It has certainly made me think more. All these years gardening and only now realising this knowhow. 🤗 Mum 🥰
Really good tips. I tend to cram too many plants into a small space and create overcrowding. I’m learning👍
As always, great tips! I am no expert but share your passion for gardening. I am working on a 60 foot long flower border in a sunny, windy tropical seaside garden with relatively shallow, stony limestone soil. After having my planting struggle in dry conditions with the existing soil (just removing the coralstone rocks and stones), I amended the bed with organic matter and fully decomposed chicken and sheep manure and added soaker hose irrigation, a first for me. How the plants have come on!
For my garden bed design, at back I have spaced out blush pink oleander, yellow pride of india and golden palms that I hope will be focal points once they grow to their full height. Once they get large enough I hope to be able to grow more tender shrubs and flowers in their shade. For my next level, I planted more formal rows of striped dracaena and yucca, spiky dark purple phormiums (which look like a thick bladed grass and flower for only a few days a year), then informally dotted in repeating clumps of purple texas sage. At front for my lowest level plantings, minty blue plumbago with yellow and scarlet lantana for contrast. So you could say, I've gone for a purple/blue monochromatic palette with shots of golden yellow and scarlet for zing. Btw, absolutely love your garden bed (came here from the video of it almost newly planted) and your hedge beyond … life goals!
Thanks for all the great advice 😊
Excellent advice 🌺👌
Hi Lee does that mean you have to go from the short border to the high plants at the back or can it go up and down in height?
Thanks for laying the information out in such a straightforward manner. Much appreciated!
Hi Lee, what sort of Salvia (i think) is the deep purple one please?
This is exactly what I was looking for ❤️🎉
Thank you garden ninja
❤
These videos are amazing! As a complete novice it’s given me a lot of help and inspiration in starting to transform my garden from the typical new build grass and paving to something a little more interesting! Keep up the fantastic work! 🤙🏽
Thanks for those much needed tips.
I am planting a cottage garden in zone 9.
Full sun, ugg. I am following all of your tips. I try to stick to perennials & grow most from seed. Hoping it will fill in as it takes time. I realize i really need to read & pay careful attention to how high the plant gets. Subscribing today.
❣️
Cheers.
Brilliant, Lee… thank you so much for this…uniformity rather than a higgledy piggledy splodge! 🤗
i like the plant which is on your head.
Excellent presentation.
Great tips to improve my garden. Thank You, Ninja!
Weed tea. Brilliant. I have two large compost bins but I am going to use this method to feed them, rather than putting weed plants in raw and ready.
Hello Lee,
My name in Michael Downing and I am a complete moron when it comes to plants, grass, trees virtually anything horticultural but I love Colour in plants/ flowers etc. I have atthe front and side of the house of our house a thin planting border approximately two feet wide where we orginally planted small green scrubs trees which we have cut down now… this has left the front and side of the house very bare and I would love some lovely colourful plants that are easy to plant and maintain.
I would really appreciate if you could help me achieve this and I will of course pay for your advice.
I could send you photographs of the area concerned and it would be great if specify the plants needed…you could supply them or simply indicate where I can purchase them from.
Is this something that you would do Lee.
Any guidance would be great.
Thank you so much for your help in this matter Lee and I look forward to hearing from you..
Yours sincerely,
Michael Downing
Thank you love your video. Great info. Blessings!
Wonderful !
