Hello Marilyn, thanks for joining me. I must admit I don’t fertilise them at all, apart from the roses and I have special fertiliser for my Trachycarpus and you’ve just reminded me I must do that. I should fertilise though, I’m sure they’d thank me for it. Hope you have a happy week 🧡😊

That’s so nice of you Marlene, thank you for joining me today. Have a happy week 🧡😊

😊😊 well thank you Nicholas, how lovely of you. Have a great week 🧡😊

Hi Kerry, did you try dividing any Heucheras? I need to do some more soon. I think all gardeners have a garden tour first thing in the morning and last thing at night 😊 my Mum gave me that dressing gown! Hope you’re having a great day 🧡😊

@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I did try dividing the heucheras but I live on the North West coast of England and they didn't make it. Only 4 out of 8 varieties I had made it through the winter. They also die right back here so I didn't get that winter foliage I was hoping for. You've got to try though, right?

Hi there Cheryl and thank you for joining me and I wish you a lovely week 🧡😊

😂😂 I always seem to find a new gap somewhere 😊 thanks for joining me and have a lovely week 🧡😊

Ah that’s so nice of you, such lovely comments. I try to make a point to remember the plant names!! Glad you like my accent too 😂 have a lovely week 🧡😊

Oh that’s so nice of you Jacqueline, thank you for joining me and have a wonderful week 🧡😊

Hello Max and so lovely to have you in my garden with me. Wishing you a great week 😊☺️

Hi Jane, it’s certainly been a weird ‘summer’!!! Very unpredictable isn’t it? Hope you’re having a great day 😊🧡

I take it back about the weather. It’s been a beautiful warm summer day here in Surrey. Hope you've had the same.

Hello Sharon and yes I think you are right, the vanilla fraise does look too big there. I don’t think it would like the full shade behind the yellow chair though? Definitely needs moving somewhere 😂 Mum gave me that dressing gown, it’s not what I would have chosen but it does the job (hope she’s not reading this 😂). Thanks for watching, you’re such a great friend and so supportive always. 🙏 have a wonderful week 😊🧡

Oh Jasmine, that’s so kind, thank you! Have a lovely day 🧡😊

Oh Judith that is just the loveliest comment, thank you so much! Have a very lovely day 🧡😊

Haha Tony that made me laugh, pairway to heaven! It’s like Jack & The Beanstalk too! Interesting about the lack of butterflies because another garden friend just said exactly the same in these comments. I’ve seen a few here though. And I was just talking about weeding as well here in the comments, I love putting in earphones and tell myself i will weed for a whole music album, I love it, mindless work and can forget about everything else for an hour. Lovely to chat and have a great day 🧡😊

@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Teehee, yes your pear very much like The Beanstalk, any sign of a Golden goose yet? Good idea weeding for a whole album as it is so hard to lose track of time, but some of my customers come out and remind me I've done my allotted time, I get so engrossed and listen to the birds. This afternoon a Spitfire and Hurricane flew over! Take care and see you next week.🦋🦋🦋

😂😂 Wendy that made me smile 😀 I do have far worse mornings I can assure you! Lots of bad hair days 😂😂 I don’t work in a school any more, I did work at 2 different schools but I left the last one end of January so now no school holidays!! Better job though so and I only work Tues-Thurs now 🎉🎉 have a lovely day 🧡😊

Hi Pam, it is such a great way to start a day isn’t it? Usually have a walk around last thing at night too. Good for our well being. Thanks for joining me and have a lovely day 🧡😊

Aww thanks Dawn and you too 🧡😊

Hello Helena, thanks for joining me today. Well done on your weeding session, I like going out with earphones in and I set myself a target to listen to a whole album and weed until it finishes 😊 it’s quite mindless work so it’s enjoyable. I’ve seen quite a few butterflies and bees here fortunately, and wasps of course 😂 hope you’re having a lovely day 🧡😊

Oh thank you so much! Yes I went to town on the olive pruning, it was twice as bushy as that but it wasn’t looking particularly happy so we shall see. Love the stem though. Have a lovely day 😊🧡

Hello! I just googled Blue Mouse Ears Hostas and I think they would be perfect! I’m going to screenshot this page so I don’t forget and be on the lookout. Thank you. Have a great day … Frog Watch 2024 … still waiting 🐸 😂😊🧡

Thank you so much Donna, hope you’re having a lovely day 😊🧡

Hello Topaz, goodness your garden does sound wild!! Where do you live? But it sounds like you’re figuring out exactly what works for your garden, which I think is the key for all of us. My garden is mostly young plants, most have only been in less than 5 years. There’s very few older than that. Thanks for joining me today and have a very lovely day 😊🧡

Thank you Teresa and nice to have you over 😊 I’m looking forward to next Monday 🙏 for a trip around yours 🧡😊 have a lovely day 🧡

Hi there Chelsea, yes I forgot to mention the Calla Lily didn’t I? I don’t know what variety it is I’m Afraid, I just googled to see if I could name it but just says ‘White Calla Lily’! I’ve had it there for maybe 3 years and Google says it’s a perennial in zones 8-10, I’m equivalent of an 8 here. Very pretty and it’s been flowering since spring and the flowers each last a long time. Mine is mostly in the shade. Thanks for watching and have a lovely day 🧡😊

@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you ☺️

Oh I’m glad you agree Julie, I just don’t like them at all, I don’t really have anything against yellow flowers, so maybe it’s the silver and yellow together? I do try and make a point of trying to learn my plant names and the good thing about all my videos is that I can always go back and check if I forget. The Bloodgood where the apple is is rather a good idea, although it would be a bit hidden behind my yellow chair, that’s the only thing. But I’m going to google as it really us full shade and I just need to check because I think the Bloodgood likes a little bit of sun, but something to think about 🙏 have a lovely week 🧡😊

Hello to you Michael and thanks for joining me in my garden! Lovely to chat and have a great day 🧡😊

Hello Catherine, I expect all gardeners do the same thing! And those ivy rings are so easy but effective aren’t they? I like the sound of your robin, that’s cute. Have a lovely day 🧡😊

Oh no Mark, I expect that’s from too much dancing? 🕺🥴 you sit back and take the opportunity for a well deserved rest. And don’t forget RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression eg a bandage for support & Elevate) - I did my First Aid training when I was at the school 👍 🤕 you take good care 🧡😊

Thank you so much and you have a lovely day too 😊🧡

Thank you so much Alison, have a lovely week 😊🧡

Hi Helen and it does seem to be maturing now, you’re right. There are not many plants which have been in longer than 5 years, most are around 1-5 years old. Does take time. Hope you have a great day 😊🧡

Morning Olga, I think the climate is good for roses here. I think wind is the worse thing for gardens don’t you? Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for watching 😊🧡

💐🐸👏🌹have a lovely week Janette..your garden looks healthy and fresh.

@mjecheverria4197 thank you MJ, lovely as always chatting with you and have a great day 😊🧡

That’s so nice of you, thank you! I do try and remember the names of anything new, but I don’t always remember!! Hope you’re having a great day 🧡😊

Hello and thank you so much for joining me. Wish you a happy day 😊🧡

Hi Val, good morning to you, I was certain it wasn’t just me 😂 best wishes to you too and thanks as always for joining me 😊🧡

Good morning and thank you 🙏 I highly recommend those garden illusion gates for brightening up a dull area. I love mine. And how lovely you have two little fur babies, although I do remember that stage with mine when they were puppies they were always digging holes in my lawn until they were about 2! One day I turfed a section and the next day they had ruined it for me!! But after that phase they were as good as gold and never ruined anything. Have fun with them and have a great day 😊🧡

@@TheEnthusiasticGardener oh, so I potentially have two years of hole digging etc. 🤣 oh well never mind it will fly by I'm sure. I'll just have to get more inventive with my planting. ❤️

@Tazzeasi just go out when they go out and give them their instructions 😂😊🧡

Good morning Jane and nice to have breakfast with you this morning 😊 have a happy day 😊🧡

Good morning Lesley and thank you very much - wish you a happy week 😊🧡

😂😂 how funny is that! Hope you’re having a very happy morning and thanks so much for watching 😊🧡

Well thank you and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Have a happy week 😊🧡

Hi Steve and it sounds like you had a great time at Tatton, I watched it on Gardeners World on Friday and it looked wonderful. Thanks for your very lovely comments, as always, and glad you liked the short clips too. Glad always to make you smile. Hope you have a fabulous week, glad to hear your driveway is almost complete too!! Take care 🧡😍

Hi Jeanette, I think you should do a talk at the RHS Flower Show, head lining " the enthusiastic garden"? You could do it, for years you have spoken to all your followers.! What do you think? YEITN It's sunny up here today!

@stephenfoster1818 well, I admire your great faith in me, depends on how much they’d pay me 😂😂😂

Good morning and thanks for watching. I hope you might give this a try!! Although I’m very sad to tell you that my standard Hebe (which looked beautiful for the whole year) died in our very cold winter and I understand lots of people lost Hebes then too. Very sad but that’s gardening for you I guess. Still, it was lovely while I had it. Hope you have a very Happy Sunday 🧡😊

😂😊 oh thank you KayJane 🙏 this video was actually 3 years ago now, how is that possible? That’s funny though, what your husband said, they do make us smile don’t they? I need to rewatch this to see what Richard said (I can imagine, but I can’t quite remember 😂) hope you’re having a great weekend 😊🧡

@TheEnthusiasticGardener oh, my goodness! I wonder how it got into my queue? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I do enjoy watching your channel. My mother-in-law lived in Colyton in East Devon. She passed away last year, but we visited there and thought it was so beautiful! 🌼

😊😊 TH-cam works in mysterious ways 😂 I’ve not been to Colyton, it’s maybe a 5 hour drive for me at a guess but Devon is a beautiful county. My parents lived there when they first got married. Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law though. Thats very sad. 😘🥰

@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you so much.

Thank you so much for watching Nicholas, and you are so right how fortunate we are. I chat to many garden friends here who just cannot even go out into their gardens apart from early morning and it must be so tiring having constant heat all the time, not to mention sad to see the gardens struggling. So I’m never complaining that it rains here. Past 2 days it has been hotter here and I’ve been hand watering. Hope you’re having a lovely Saturday evening 😊🧡

Hallo und vielen Dank, dass Sie heute aus Deutschland zu uns gekommen sind. Ich wünsche Ihnen ein wunderschönes Wochenende 🧡

😂 oh Janet you have just reminded me about my beloved plum 😂 I’d forgotten as this video was last year in June 😂 was funny. Hope you have a happy weekend 🧡😊

Hello there and thank you so much - hope you’re having a great day 😊🧡

Hi Kerry it probably doesn’t look like it but those 3 bags are so full that I’d only get a small bit of one of them in my green bin. But I think I’ll do what you’ve done and buy 3 dalek ones (good description, I know exactly what you mean). I see them all the time on Facebook Marketplace really cheap. Thanks for your idea though. Have a happy day 🧡😊

@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Yes! I got my large Dalek bin off marketplace for a fiver. Once the compost process is happening well, and if it’s in the sun, it breaks down so fast. I fill it up to the brim and squash the lid down, and within a week or 2, it’s less than half full again. I’ve been packing stuff in for 3 years, plain cardboard boxes and all, and it’s still not full. I have taken some compost out the bottom, but not a lot. It’s very rich compared to shop bought.

@kerryfirehorse oh wow! Definitely going to do this, thanks for telling me Kerry 🙏🎉😄

Good morning! I don’t think you need to be worried because Fatsia roots aren’t invasive do it’s unlikely to be springing up again 😊 have a happy day 😊🧡

@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you
