I also finished planting my tulips only a couple days ago. Life just happens, I guess 😅 Among all the tulips I am trying out this year, I also included Princess Irene, Ballerina, and the van Eijk ones... I can't wait...Especially since they say that Ballerina and Princess Irene are fragrant. Do you find that's the case?

Lovely! I'm so jealous - we are below zero Farenheit here in Colorado🥶...one question - are you sure that's a Kansas peony? I have several, and they are all deep red, not pink. In any event, I am looking forward to seeing everything in your garden come alive over the next months! Happy gardening!

Hello Annete! Great teamwork guys! I still have plenty snowdrops to plant....the ground is so frozen though🥶

You two make a great team x ❤🎉

I’ve my first crop of about 9 willow varieties up this year and will be using for cuttings to create some of these beautiful scenes with witch hazel and birch and dwarf evergreens this was exactly what I wanted to see! Thank you 🙏

I bought some garlic bulbs and tulips and other ones on b&q for penies....is still chance for flowers this year?

lovely colours you have chosen Richard and you work so well together

Lovely - impressive that you can still plant tulip bulbs in your zone. In the US northeast (zone 6), the tulip bulbs need to be in the ground by November to allow roots to form, and get sufficient cold hours. Enjoyed seeing pictures of the expected blooms, as well as pictures of plants that surround them. Kudos to you and Richard for making such a great team.

Bless you Richard! Your hard work is appreciated.

Lovely video Annette x

fabulous video. Made me feel like Spring is on the doorstep. I have finished planting my spring bulbs but in a few weeks I will be getting Summer bulbs sorted. Can't wait to see the lilies and gladi's out. Don't you just love bulbs for bringing that extra 'zing' o the borders and patio. happy gardening 🙂 x

Merhaba efendim çok güzel paylaşim emeklerinize sağlik mutlu akşamlar diliyorum🙏

Hahahaha Richard was put to work 😂

Still snow here in Czech rep., I envy you :-)

The garden looks so peaceful! It'll all wake up soon enough :) Thanks for the video!

I did use the toothpick method and it worked like a dream. So easy - just the smallest bit of moisture on the pointed end and I was able to pick up 2 consecutive seeds with one dip :) Can't wait for these beautiful flowers !

Thank you so much for this video. Would I do the same process with gypsophila bare roots too? If anyone has any tips for this, I'd really appreciate this so much ❤

@cottoverdi please can you do a video about the temperature to keep the seedlings at and when you plant them out in the UK?

Thank you for the tour of your beautiful garden! It’s nice to review when it’s so cold in the US. What is the pink flower you moved out of the way to get to Kilburn Glow? Some sort of jasmine nicotina? Thank you!

Hello! How do I keep squirrels from digging them up & eating the bulbs?

What a great idea to use organza bags! Ordered. (My hb can't understand why I have to check the tubers regularly. He thinks I'm in a tubercult 😀)

Your garden is beautiful

Awesome job. Love the idea of adding the moss to the pots! 😊

Thank you for the video. We are going to have very cold weather soon. I am sure our ground is frozen. I am looking forward to spring.

Enjoyed the video and wonderful details - first year to try these flowers coming up. (Fun kitty and bloopers at the end too.)

Hi Annette you have so many beautiful plants. Thanks enjoy! Annette USA

Thanks Annette ..enjoyed your video. I'm Annette as well.

Awe you've inspired me to plant more spring bulbs, thought I had left it too late, the blue and yellow combination will look glorious come spring, thank you for a lovely video.

Good morning Annette, good to see you back in the garden, it is just so satisfying to plant and later to see the results from all our efforts. I hope that all your efforts will be rewarded with a beautiful display of colour and fragrances from the flowers. I wrote a comment, but the Latin music got to me and I thought let me see if I can trace it, and without sending the message I lost it all!! What a dunce, I totally forgot there is no saving, a good lesson learned. Since the last video, we have been blessed with the most wonderful rain. Yesterday it rained to approximately 40 mls 26 during the night and in the morning another 20, and last night it came bucketing down, I will have to go and see what was delivered. It is so nice and fresh outside and we had to cut the grass right down to soil level, the sun had scorched it to death in certain areas, so to get it to recover that was the best solution and then the rains came, what a blessing, so all is not lost. There are always many challenges for gardeners, weather, bugs and fungus attacks. We can't win. Enjoy all the planting and planning, keep snug, it is cold outside. Kind regards.

Hi Annette, thanks for the video. I am sure the blue and yellow will look amazing. Thanks too for telling us what fertiliser you use. I do keep wondering when I see you and Richard sprinkle stuff in the planting holes. 😊😊😊

I look forward to seeing everything bloom in the spring!!!

Hello so happy to see you back. Hope your daughter is doing ok and not affected by the wildfires. Looking forward to more fun and amazing videos I learned so much from you.

Hi Annette good to see you back out in your garden. Here in South Gloucestershire UK, I’ve just noticed my first snow drop. Looking forward to spring. Thoroughly enjoy your videos, looking forward to the next one, thank you.

great video cant wait for spring and seeing your garden in full glory

Thank you for this, Annette. It is a rainy day here after some sunny ones. I am enjoying seeing my Anemone de Caen shoots bravely nudging their heads above the cold earth. I was not sure they survived the August heat last year. My mini tulips are not poking their noses out yet, but I saw them starting when I upgraded their soil. I will enjoy you tulips in April. 😊

Wonderful thank you ❤

Great video as always, Annette. Kind regards Joke.

Those Sweetheart tulips are gorgeous! 😍 I normally gravitate to purples, whites & coral/salmon, but just love the ivory/white on the buttery yellow petals. Thanks so much for sharing. Hopefully I can find them here in the US for next fall! 🤞🏼

Hi Annette! 👋🏼 So happy to see you planting tulips in mid-January. Gives me hope that I can still plant some more tulip bulbs that I didn’t get to back in November/December. I’m in zone 7B in the US. Going to pot them up in containers. Loved hearing the birds 🐦! Curious…what’s your average January temp?

You have gorgeous roses and a great variety. I also have Lichfield angel and yes D.Austin roses tend to flop. Thanks for.a great video

Great video as always, Annette. I put all my tulips into pots this year as I m really fed up with the squirrels, voles and mice digging them up and eating/nibbling the shoots off. No sign of any shoots up yet, but the pots have remained safe. :-) The alliums, iris, crocus and narcissi are all up. No sign of the hyacinths yet! I'm getting so excited waiting for the spring display, I received my first ever order from SEH yesterday. So pleased with the quality of the plugs- much bigger than I anticipated. I have potted them on today. They are for my revamped border. I had delphiniums and monarda there, but sadly, last year i lost them. I think they may have got a bit dry. Maybe some of them will reshoot in the spring? Over time the border has become quite shady in the afternoon so I'm replanting with variegated hostas, ferns and Japanese anemones, whirlwind and lots of bulbs. The fosteriana group of tulip look gorgeous. I may treat myself to some this Autumn. Thank you for introducing them to us. Happy gardening 🙂 x

I’m jealous, I have frozen ground in Minnesota, so I’m going to enjoy watching you 😊

Love tulips and I enjoyed seeing the worms wriggling around but I do really enjoy birdsong x

I'm trying the Twizzle Blue variety this year. Fingers crossed!

When you say you will sow Black Prince again, does that mean you are starting snapdragon from seed, indoors? I'm amazed at the many types of snapdragons that you have! (The garden shops near me sell small plants, but mostly in primary, solid colors only.)

Watching on a cold winter day - so enjoyable to see the fresh plants, and watch the playful kitty up the tree, keeping you company in the garden.

How is it possible that we have 2C and my climbing rosebush still has roses.

Love, love lisanthus! Really enjoy the photos and all the varieties you find. Funny bloopers at the end.

Thank you Annette for braving the cold! Enjoyed the view of your garden in winter. You again have made me look forward to spring 😊

I agree it is lovely to get outside on a bright chilly day in the snow. You become stir crazy stuck indoors. Cheery and a promise of spring to see the buds on your primroses. Would certainly be interested in the link to the moss, so many uses in the garden and creating little bulb vignettes. Thank you.
