Thank you Sarah, for your kind words. It was lovely to get out there on my day off and get some jobs done 🌺🌿🌴❤️

@@Islandgirl4ever2 Thanks Leesa, it was nice to be able to get out there, it's been raining for a few days, so lots to brush up, but all tidy again now....till tomorrow when the bits fall off the trees again. The flowers are lasting really well tho, I'm surprised it's quite mild weather at the mo 🌿🌺❤️

@@bknomad283 your so kind, thank you for your kind words. Keep at it, and it will come just be patient 🌴🌿🌺 it took until the third year before an explosion of growth 🤣🤣

@lizcookson269 aww thanks so much, that was just after, if you go to my newest vid, it shows the new wall now built and painted. Half the mural is still there and the phormium has now grown back wonderfully, you would never know it had happened now in the garden, oh and I've added a small Wildlife Pond too (and the greenhouse is now in) 🤣🤣 I'm glad you are finding it inspirational deffo have a look at the new vid it's called 'design ideas' Thanks so much for watching, greatly appreciated ❤️👍🌺🌿🌴

@@daphneking3954 🤣🤣🤣 Did you know they can change colour depending on the weather 🤣🤣🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated 😁😁👍👍👍🌴🌿🌺❤️

@@traceyrowlands1220I thought it might be a nutrient deficiency so I have vowed to get it out of its pot and into the ground next year. Just got to find it a space! 🌹🌺🌴😀

@@daphneking3954 it will do okay in a pot or in the ground. But will grow bigger in the ground. My hot lips are now 2 or three years old. I cut them back to half near the winter to tidy them up a bit but give them a bit of protection, then cut them right back in the spring and leave them grow x I doubt yours have anything wrong, they are tough as old boots 👍👍👍

Thank you for that ,I nearly brought one yesterday .it was about 4ft for £12 pound B&Q ..I wont now .but they are beautiful plants ..Tracy your garden is so lovely ,I would want to spend every evening out there with wine ..

Thanks so much for watching and no, thankfully the eucalyptus is down the bottom of the garden 🤣😁 🌱🌿🌺🪴❤️

I wonder if you could keep one in a pot You can also chop the top off to keep them small, but I couldn't believe how fast it's grown in one year 🤣🤣🤣❤️ we haven't spent a single evening out there sitting this year, the summer hasn't been good enough, but we have had a few afternoon meals by the table 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it out there x

@@traceyrowlands1220 it is so lovely ,a real credit to your hard work .Tracy or they frost hardy ?

@@mandytyers4481 oh yes deffo frost hardy, mine was out all winter last year as a tiny branch. If you cut the top off it stops it maturing so much and keeps the leaves young and ornamental ❤️

@@janinewoodbridge3814 thanks so much, I hate the season coming to the end 😔

Thank you so much for your kind words and your view is much appreciated 🌺🌿🌱🐞

Aww thank you, they still have the other Yucca Rostrata at my local Garden Centre for sale 🤣🤣🤣 it's got your name on it ❤️🌴🌿

@@traceyrowlands1220 ha ha! The price difference would be swallowed up by the cost of fuel to get there!🌴🌺🌹

Thanks for your kind words. It's been hard work but we've loved every moment watching it mature and this year it's exploded 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed the vid 😁😁❤️🌿🌴🌺

Thankyou, it's really grown this year even though it hasn't been the best summer by far. Just been out again to buy a centre trellis for the wall. Now to put it up this afternoon ❤️🤣 x

Thankyou, we've been back to B&Q this morning to buy a new Trellis to go up today and a little Jasmine Plant as I wanted an evergreen there preferably .... More work today, and just looked it up, the one I bought is not evergreen 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍

@@kateeveritt3292 Don't be fooled. It was a complete mess, we've been here for 17 years and in 2020 I created the blank canvas during the lockdown but then decided I didn't like the 'tidy green square' look. It wasn't for me so started digging beds one at a time. Have a look at my first video called "How I started my Tropical garden" then you'll see what it was like before. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated ❤️👍

Yes it was a beautiful clean hotel, make sure you take a look over the other side and take your breakfast over that side of the hotel as it was much nicer in the ocean cafe, just wish we had found it sooner. Lovely walks along the front too, but the only drawback was there was lots of British people there, we usually prefer turkey but it was a nice change. The rooms were beautiful tho, nice views and free to use safe in room. The shopping square is lovely just a small 20 minutes away along the prom and full of restaurants too. It's called San Blas and worth a little visit. Thanks for watching. 👍🌺🌴

@@daphneking3954 Thanks for watching. The palms there were beautiful, hope you enjoyed Marrakech, when we went I found the market square really busy but the alley ways were too scary for us, we were too frightened of getting lost inside. The hotel was beautiful tho ❤️🌴🌿

Yes, we had a lovely time. I thought this time I'd show some of the plants. I was so jealous of those palm trees, they were huge ❤ ❤

Thank you. We have plenty of rain here in South Wales 🤣🤣👍🌿🌱🌴🌺

Merci, La jardinerie locale ❤️👍🤣

@@mandytyers4481 I had spent all day brushing...don't be fooled I do have to weed and brush all the time but I love being out there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ❤️

Merci ❤️ I love spending time in my garden 🌴🌱🌿🌺😁

Thank you so much, I'm really pleased this year, it's taken until the third year to fill out properly....onwards & upwards 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍❤️

@@traceyrowlands1220well I’m 2 yrs 11 months behind you!, 🌴🌴😂

@@daphneking3954 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it will come, if there's one thing I've had to learn, it's patience 😁🤣🤣🤣❤️

@@traceyrowlands1220 I’ll let you know in 3 years!! 😍😍🌴

@daphneking3954 🌺🌿🌱🌴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️

Thankyou, I bet they look fab with ferns & Hostas. ❤️👍 Ideas for next year 🌱🌴🌿👍👍👍👍

Oooohhhh £349 that's pricey, ours was £200 and that was the most expensive plant we've ever bought but it's grown loads already. It was raining here this morning but brightened up lovely. I love having packages from Grow Paradise, they are always wrapped beautifully and with a little thank you note inside. Yes, I prefer the wall now with a little something going on, until I give it another quick coat of black next year, that's why I didn't want anything permanent yet....🤣🤣 I hope the planters stay up and don't fall off 🤣🤣🤣 Enjoy your planting day ❤️

I bet you'll end up going back for the plant now it's in your mind 🤣🤣🤣🤣 we saw hours nearly every week for 6 months before we bought it 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

@@traceyrowlands1220 oh the joys of living in the south east! Everything expensive!

Yes I probably will!!

@@traceyrowlands1220 Craig and his nursery……..

Well, thank you. It will probably need another coat of paint (next year) so didn't want to go fixing anything permanent just yet, and I can see it from my kitchen window so wanted to just brighten it up a bit. I just hope they don't fall off 🤣🤣🤣 it's only a narrow ledge ❤️🌺🌱🌴

@@daphneking3954 and I totally agree, if a plant gives you pleasure to look at then why not see it everyday, no matter what the garden style, I like a complete mis match 😁❤️😊

@@traceyrowlands1220we are very alike in our plant choices! I’m binging your videos from day one and thoroughly enjoying them. I only started my tropical journey this year so on a steep learning curve! BTW my salvia has revcovered from its transplant just waiting for the dahlias to do so! Best wishes from Essex

You will have to make some vids, I'd love to see the transformation,so glad to hear your Salvia had picked up, they are lovely plants, my purple salvia has drooped a bit after I moved it. I read that when transplanting you should cut all the flowers off to help it recover, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Hopefully it will settle in now before the winter. I'm off now till Tuesday so I hope that the weather will brighten up, it was quite chilly here in South Wales today. I think a trip to the garden centre is on the cards for Saturday morning. Have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend ❤️😊👍🌺

You got the same taste as me with planting ❤️

I'm so glad you enjoyed watching, much appreciated and thank you for subscribing ❤️ I'm hoping the move of the salvia will be okay, it has drooped a bit but it wasn't planted for long anyway in its original space. I haven't bought many plants lately, I've been doing some cuttings and splitting some grasses to make some more plants. I'm glad your garden work has been going well, it sounds like you've been very busy lately ❤️🌺🌱🌿

Thank you so much for watching and Subscribing ❤️ It's lovely to hear that my garden is enjoyed by others as much as I enjoy it. I love spending time out there and can't wait for my next day off. It's great to mix some tropical plants in with some evergreens. I've learnt everything from watching TH-cam and getting ideas too for my garden. None of it was ever planned and I just get an idea and go for it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good luck with your garden ❤️🌿🌱🌺

That's so kind of you. It's lovely to welcome you into my garden here in South Wales, UK. I love being out there every spare moment I can get. I do also work long hours, so every day off is a precious one 🤣🤣🤣 it's a lovely place to relax. Thanks ever so much for watching, it's much appreciated and I'm glad you enjoyed 🌺🌱🌿

@janinewoodbridge3814 it's really grown lately, I'm loving it. It's taken 3 years to finally see some size. Hopefully it will get better and better each year. It's lovely to hear from you and thank you so much for watching my videos ❤️🌱🌺 Much appreciated xx

@user-pu1md9cx1u Thankyou, I much prefer the black wall too, it makes a lovely background for the plants. A big thanks for watching, much appreciated and I love answering comments too ❤️🌺🌿

Yes you are ❤️🌺🌿🌱😊

Thank you for watching. I do have a washing line that is a retractable one (but it's always out) it is joined to the outhouse and runs all along the wall near the tiki bar. It's joined to the wall at the bottom ❤️ if you look in some videos you may see it 😂😂😂 I hope you enjoy your garden too x

Thankyou so much. It's grown so much this year ❤️🌿🌺🌴

Yes definitely worth it, all tidy again now, I've had a lovely day out the garden today 😊🌺🌿🌴

Oohhhhh Thankyou, I've been busy this weekend also painted the fence out the front. Now to decide what to put on the black wall, climbers or decorate with tiki things, I'll think of something by next season 😁😁😁😁🌿🌱🌴 hope you're enjoying the sunshine, unfortunately I've been in work but off now wed & Thurs, spend some time outside in the garden. Let's hope the sun is out. 🌿🌱🌴😊❤️

To be honest I bought a few Miscanthus Giganteus and Arundo Donax (Spanish cane) and I think it may be the latter ❤️🌴🌱🌿 Thanks for watching Leesa, much appreciated 👍😊

Aww Thank you ever so much ❤️🌴🌱

That's not very good at all is it 😞 we prefer to go for breakfast in Pyle Gardens Centre. None of them are cheap but Pyle is really good food. I wouldn't bother with Wyevale garden centre the last few times haven't been good. I think the restaurant in Pyle garden centre is called the olive tree restaurant and it's always busy which is a good sign. Great garden centre too 🌴🌱🌿

Thank you ❤️🌴🌱😊

@@jonisolis9645 Thankyou ever so much for watching, much appreciated 🌿🌴🌱😊❤️

Some winters can get cold down to minus 5 or there about, but I try and choose hardy plants, there are many I can't grow tho. Thanks for watching 😊🌴🌿

Thanks, it was hot today painting that wall 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but a bonus was it didn't take long to dry 👍👍👍👍🌴🌿🌱❤️

Black background makes any plant pop Looks great Tracey

We chose to paint our panels black to give the same effect and once we did we were amazed how it gave a modern feel and we were seeing plants pop out which were blended with others Keep up the great work Tracey

@tropicsinworcestershire I'm loving the dark black wall, I've got to paint the top tho as I forgot and can see it from my landing window 😂😂😂😂

All done now, just finished the top 😂

It has filled out lovely this year even though it hasn't been the best of weather this summer. I think most of the planting has been in now 2 to 3 years and the final shape of the garden with the pathways has really taken shape. I'm so glad I got rid of that lawn in January 🌺🌱🌿❤️

@@lookinsidemygarden thank you for watching, much appreciated ❤️🌺❤️

@@aliciawilliamson265 I'll have to buy some soon ❤️ any excuse for a trip to the garden centre 😊😊😊

That's so nice to hear. I mix my Tropical plants with lots of hardy evergreens as I don't want it too bare through the winter months. I love Tropical Plants and the Trachycarpus are so easy to grow in the UK. Many thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated ❤️ good luck with the new planting 🌴🌺🌱🌿😊
