Mum’s April Garden, Japanese Maple & Richard’s Planting Debut 🌺🌺🌺
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 เม.ย. 2024
- In today’s video we are first taking a quick tour of Mum’s lovely courtyard garden which is looking particularly gorgeous this April.
Next, I have bought myself an Acer Palmatum Bloodgood to add to a container in Woodland Courtyard. This beautiful Japanese Maple forms a branched bush with a stunning leaf. When it is not pruned, the Acer can grow up to 1.5 metres high. It can bear the sun and shade. It’s equipped for the Winter but in a pot it should be protected against severe frost. Should turn a beautiful bright crimson red in the Autumn.
Finally, I’ve persuaded Richard to try his hand at planting his very first container (he definitely has a different planting style to me 😊) so we are planting one hanging basket each, with the following wonderful plants:
Acorus Gramineus ‘Ogon’ & Hakonechloa Macra Aureola (both ornamental grasses)
Heucheras ‘Fire Alarm’ & ‘Grape Timeless’
Brunneras ‘Jack Frost’ & ‘Looking Glass’
Calluna Vulgaris ‘Spring Glow’ (a Heather)
Trailing Ivies (unknown varieties)

Richard’s sarcasm is off the charts but he obviously adores you and he is a wise man because he obeys garden orders (happy wife, happy life). Thanks for sharing your mom’s place and yours.
Oh I know Glynis, he has sarcasm in abundance 😂 he did not want to do that, I don’t think he’ll be turning into a gardener any time soon 😂 thank you for joining us this morning. Hope you have a wonderful week 🩵🩷
I do love what a good sport Richard is, the baskets turned out lovely. Your mom's garden is lovely as well, her new deck area looks so nice, bet she's out there a lot.
Hi Wende, yes she is out there all the time, does look lovely doesn’t it? And yes Rich is a good sport - that wasn’t his idea of an exciting morning 😂 have a lovely week 💚🩵
Oh, poor Richard, he certainly deserves a cup of tea and a biscuit. Beautiful baskets despite the cold.
Hello Martha, thank you so much, I was on “tea on demand” duty for the rest of the day I can assure you 😂 hope you’re having a great week so far 💚🩵
Lol, it's just so funny that the gardening tools are laying on the floor. Most TH-camrs would be hiding them and tidying up before filming. This is what makes this channel so great in my view. It's all a bit over the place and great to watch.
😊😊 love your comments Kris, we are definitely a bit all over the place in our garden 😊 so glad you’re watching too. Have a wonderful week 🩵💚
Oh my goodness. You two are my new best friends. I so enjoyed you Richard. I know you love being a youtube superstar. Thank you.❤
Aww Pat what a lovely comment … that’s made me smile so I’m very glad we made you smile today 😂 have a wonderful week 💚🩵
Richard is now "Naughty Richard, the plant teaser!" What fun! Coffee with Jannette and Ol" Richard, the teaser. Love it so. So happy to see him out and about. Stay well my friends. Please take no offense to my joking.
Hello Bunny and goodness me I never take offence to your jokes - you made me smile 😊 glad we made you smile today too. Have a fabulous week 🩷🩵
Loved the sound of the birds, wind chime and breeze. I felt like I was outside with y'all! Richard is such a trooper. Hope he got his comfy chair and cup of tea after his gardening!
Oh yes he did Cindy, I had to make his tea for the rest of the day. 😂💚🩵
Despite himself, I could tell Richard was really getting into his planting at the end 😅❤
😂😂 I’m not so sure Julie 😂 he did it under duress 😂 he did a good job though. I had fun anyway!! Hope you have a great week 💚🩷
@TheEnthusiasticGardener probably my wishful thinking 😄It would be great to see more of him "helping" you, so funny xx
😂😂😂
😂 Thanks for the entertainment this morning Richard! You both just make my day!❤
Hey Lindylou and thank you! So pleased we made you smile today and wish you a wonderful week 🩷💚
How funny poor Richard 🤣😂🤣😂🤣garden is looking good
Hello Christine!! He did not want to do that, I’m sure you could tell 😂 hope you have a happy week 💚🩷
Richard is such a delight.
Aww that’s so nice of you - I think so too 💚🩷 hope you have a really great week 🩵🩷
Hello Janette and Richard
Yes,i remember you planting the thrift at your mums. She has some beautiful shrubs , it's hard to single one out. At the moment i love the azalea. I haven't seen a variegated flower like that. Richard is ever the same 😂 i see that he has his unenthusiasm back🤣Good idea for the clean up chores. The new acer is wonderful. Bright sunshine this morning. Relax and take care💞🍰🍰☕☕🥰
Good morning Sharon and yes, it’s finally stopped raining and we have sunshine too 🌞 Mum’s Azalea is glorious isn’t it? Yes, Rich is definitely the Unenthusuastic Gardener today 😂 he did not want you to do that - could you tell? 😂 hope you have a fabulous week my friend 🩵🩷
Ha ha! This was brilliant 🤣 … well done Richard! The baskets look lovely! ❤️🌻
Good morning Willow Grove, glad to make you smile 😊 he did a good job (rather reluctantly) 😂 wishing you a great week 💚🩷
Oh I haven’t laughed so much for ages - thank you so much both. The baskets did look lovely! Good to see Richard looking so well too. 😊🏴
So pleased to have made you laugh today Pamela, it was a fun video (for me at least 😂). Hope you’re having a great week 💚🩵
Love seeing Richard doing so well
Hello Nino and Lo and thank you so much, he’s doing great. He’s just finished his 8 weeks of weekly cardio physiotherapy which has been so beneficial. Getting better day by day 👍 have a wonderful week 💚🩷
Such a blessing, I’m an ER nurse of 34 years so I know exactly what he’s recovered from. Keep him planting in the garden, he’s hilarious 😂
Well we are totally indebted to every single person around the world in the medical profession. You’re all angels 😇 bless you 💚🩵
Morning Jeanette Richard and dear Lottie 🐾😂 loved today's video the basket's are lovely. Your Mum's garden is beautiful can't wait to see how the bulbs come up. Dear Lottie checking the Acer, I love them too such stunning colours. Have a beautiful week x
Good morning dear Val and thanks for joining us. Mum’s garden is lovely, she phoned me last night to say her first bulb shot has appeared 👍 oh yes, little Lotte likes to check out any new plants, my Quality Controller 😊 have a wonderful week, the sun has come out today! 🩵💚
😂🤣😂 This was a breath of fresh air, as usual 🤩 Richard is very convincing! 😇
Hello Ann, glad we made you smile today!! He did not want to do that, I’m sure you noticed 😂 wishing you a happy week 💚🩷
Lovely Janette
I know where you get your gardening skill from now ❤
Hello my friend, yes Mum’s garden is so delightful isn’t it? Hope you and Kate are good? Always lovely to see you popping by - have a really fabulous week 🩷💚🩵
Both you and your mum’s gardens are so beautiful 🌹 🌺 🌸 And I had a good old chuckle at Richard 😆
Thank you so much Carmel and I think Richard made a lot of people smile today 😂 which is lovely. Wishing you a fabulous week 🩵💚
I love your Moms garden, it’s so pretty. The baskets you and Richard made will grow nicely. Richard is a good sport, helping you, and he is so funny too. Thanks for making the video, I look forward to seeing how everything grows. Enjoy your week!
Thank you so much for joining us Nancy and glad we made you smile!! Mum’s garden is indeed so pretty. Hope you have a wonderful week 💚🩵
Hi Janette. How lovely your Mum's garden looks. Just the right size for her. Not a leaf out of place, thanks Mum 🧑🌾. When it comes to weeding, l must admit if it rained l thought good l don't have to tackle the weeds today🙃. They grow faster than the plants! I almost choked on my tea, Richard planting up the hanging basket. So good to see him joining in enthusiastically in your videos again 😁. The faux grass looks better than the coir, so l am going to do that too as coir doesn't last long. And l was given a remnant of faux grass so even cheaper 😁. Who doesn't love a Japanese Maple, seems like the perfect spot for it. Lovely cool sunny day here, l'm off to strangle some more bine weed 🧑🌾 Have a great week 🌷🌷🌷☕🍪
Good morning Penny and yes Mum’s garden is just delightful. It’s so much easier weeding after the rain isn’t it, and oh boy we had rain non-stop this weekend!!! Glad you’re going to try the faux grass liners, I love this idea. Yes, Rich was a good sport and I had to drag him out to do that 😂 i had to stop myself being like a Mum when the kids decorate the Christmas tree and the Mums change it all when they’ve gone to bed 😂 good luck with your gardening this week 💚🩷🤩
Oh! I forgot to mention Lottie! She's standing there watching like, "What's up with my mom and dad?"! She's so cute!
😂😂 Cindy, that’s very true. Bless her. Hope you’re having a great week so far 🩷💚
Richard is a good sport, even though "he didn't agree to plant some baskets!". LOL 🌿🌺 Must have him back on the show "to tease the plants." I sure didn't expect so much entertainment while having my morning coffee. I'll send some of our 75 degree mornings temperatures your way today Richard ❤
Hello there Topaz and so glad to have made you laugh today 😂 he did not want you to be doing that did he?! 😂 hope you have a happy week … and yes please do send some of your warmth our way 🩷💚🩵
Killing myself laughing 😂
😂😂 so glad we made you laugh Tracy, he did not want to do that did he? 😂😂 he’s a good sport though. Wishing you a fabulous week 🩷💚
Hi Janette. Every thing looks nice. I must say dear Richard is not so enthusiastic as you but I still admire him he did do good planting. Mum,s garden looks nice I have never seen it before. Like Richard put some gloves on it does protect your hands, I probably sound like your Mum giving you advice, Keep well and happy
Hello there Olga 😊 I can’t feel what I’m doing with gloves on 😂 I have filmed in Mum’s gardens quite a few times here and there, it’s really pretty isn’t it? Rich was definitely the Unenthusiastic Gardener today wasn’t he? A good sport though 😊 hope you have a wonderful week 💚🩷
Hahaha I loved this so much ! Your husband is a good sport . He’s also very hilarious 😂
Oh thank you, so pleased we made you smile today and wishing you a wonderful week ahead 💚🩵
You guys are too cute!! Can’t believe you got Richard to plant with you he’s the best!!
Aww thanks, I can’t believe I managed that either 😂 I had fun even if he didn’t 😂 hope you’re having a great week 🩵💚
Your mums garden looks beautiful, I love her azalea. The baskets came out great. Richard looks wonderful. Have a great week Janette.
Thank you so much for dropping by today Adra 😊 Mum’s garden is so pretty isn’t it? I think Rich did a great job on the basket, even though it was the last thing he felt like doing 😂 hope you have a wonderful week 🩷💚
Well done Richard! You're a very obedient assistant. :D
😂😂 I’m not sure he enjoyed that one bit Bikegeist 😂😂 have a wonderful week 💚🩷
I just love watching you and Richard planting together. I laughed out loud 😂 Seriously, they turned out so well. Your plan for naming and weeding the garden spaces is a great idea. ❤
Good morning Karyn, so glad we made you smile today. And you like my ‘weed game’ too 😊 pleased to say I’ve done 4 of the areas now and sunshine today so I’ll try and do the rest!! Have a wonderful day 💚🩵
Great idea with the job tombola which I have copied thank you. Nice to see Richard out and about. xxxx❤❤❤
Hello Anna, glad to give you an idea! Anything to make jobs more fun I think 😊 thanks for watching and have a very happy week 💚🩷
I always enjoy the videos when Richard makes an appearance. He is hilarious. I loved him teasing the plants! Your mum's garden is looking lovely as is yours Janette.
Hey Wendy and thank you, yes Mum’s garden is so pretty. Glad Rich made you smile today, he really is quite funny 😂 have a wonderful week 💚🩵
That was so enjoyable Richard the "Apprentice gardener"
Oh thank you Elizabeth!! I enjoyed myself even if Rich didn’t 😂 thanks for watching and have a really great week 🩵💚
Richard is such a HOOT! That planting bit towards the end was so much fun. Great job on the containers guys. Your mum's garden is so neat and charming Janette --- thanks for sharing it with us.
Good morning AJ and Happy May, my favourite month 😊 he’s funny, I didn’t realise until I watched afterwards how much he was jamming those plants in 😂 Mum’s garden is delightful isn’t it? Wishing you a very happy day 😊💚🩵
Your mum’s garden is lovely. Great video Janette. I have just made a flower border out of part of my lawn. Now busy laying concrete sleepers and gravel to make a path. It will make the lawn half the size by the time I have finished. I love having the extra room for more plants!
Good morning Margaret and thanks for watching. Yes, Mum’s garden is very pretty and a great manageable size for her to potter around in. How exciting you have a new border for planting, stealing parts of the grass gets addictive doesn’t it? 😊 hope it all goes according to plan and remember to bend your knees with all the concrete lifting 👍🤪🌺 have a lovely week 🩷🩵
Richard is hilarious 😅 reminds me of my husband.
😂😂 there are two like that Janet?! 😂 glad we made you smile today🌺 have a lovely week 🩵💚
cute video!
Hello there Chico, glad to make you smile and have a wonderful week 💚🩷
Hi Jeanette, oh your best video yet! The picking parts of your garden to weed is a great idea as it can be a bit overwhelming when looking at the whole garden and I will certainly do that now.
As for you and Richard with the hanging baskets was such fun to watch and yes his basket did look the best 😅. You two are such a lovely couple and really made me chuckle. X
Hello Sue and I’m so pleased we made you smile today 😂 i think that was the last thing on his list of exciting things to do that day 😂 but it was fun (for me anyway). Glad you think my ‘drawing areas out the hat’ was a good idea too, at least it makes it more fun and makes you feel like you have a plan without getting overwhelmed. Hope you have a very happy week 💚🩷🩵
such beautiful plants, your mom's garden is beautiful also. thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Sonie, Mum loves her garden, it’s really pretty 😊 hope you’re having a lovely week 🩵💚
You two are so cute! Nice job planting together, the pots are beautiful!
Well thank you so much Tina for your very lovely comments. Have a wonderful week 🩵🩷
Alright Mr Unenthusiastic gardener, do it right or you'll be sent inside to watch golf!! 😂😂😂 Great job! They're beautiful! Your Mom's garden is so pretty!
😂😂 Peggy!! That’s funny. Thanks as always for watching. Oh yes Mum’s garden is really pretty 🤩 hope you’re having a lovely week my friend 🩵💚🩷
😂😅❤ you two, honestly, I've had a good morning giggle. Despite the freezing weather, those baskets looked lovely, I think you were both very brave. I've just realised that you're on Instagram and have started following you there, I'm the messy gardener 😅. Have a great week, it should be a little warmer 🎉
Good morning Kim and thank you for watching 😊 thanks for following me on Instagram too 😊 glad we made you smile this morning - he did not want to do that, could you tell?!! Most unenthusiastic 😂 hope you have a lovely week - the sun has come out this morning 👍🩷💚
Loved the video nice to see Richard helping great sense of humour
Hello Iris! Thanks so much for watching 😊😊 hope you’re having a great week so far 🩵💚
Thanks, Janette! ⭐️
Had a real chuckle at the Richard and Janette Gardening Show!! 🤣
The baskets turned out beautifully - this could be the start of a new chapter for Richard!?! 🤣🌺
Your Mum’s garden is looking lovely too! 🌸
Happy weeding!! 😃
😂😂 thanks so much Fiona 🩵 Mum’s garden is so lovely isn’t it? I don’t think Rich is likely to turn into a gardening enthusiast any time soon! But I had fun. He hasn’t checked his basket once since 😂 hope you’re having a fabulous week 💚🩵
Richard!!!!!
😂😂 Good morning to you MaryBeth 💚🩵🩷
❤️your moms garden and ❤️seeing you and Richard in the garden. Thanks for sharing
Aww how lovely of you Jacques, thanks for watching and wishing you a wonderful weekend 💚🩵🩷
Richards a terrible lier 🤣🤣but he’s still up for laugh,baskets were beautiful as was mums garden,great idea with choosing the areas to work in cos I’m a butterfly going from area to area,going to try that see if it works for me 😂😂
Hi there Joyce 😂 I’m a bit like a butterfly in the garden too, that’s a great description, you start one thing and flit off to other jobs before finishing. Thanks for watching and I hope your week is fabulous 💚🩷
😅 Great to see Richard and your good self 🙂 have a great week. from a freezing Liverpool
Hello Dave and thanks for joining us. Rained all weekend here too! Hope you have a wonderful week 🩵💚
Your mum’s garden is looking lovely. Richard is a hoot! Your baskets turned out quite colorful. Can’t wait to see them in a month or so; I’m sure they will be spectacular!
Hey there JC, Mum’s garden is a delight isn’t it? And glad we made you smile today with Richard’s planting debut. Totally the Unenthusiastic Gardener 😂 have a lovely week 🩵💚
Like a little school boy who would rather be out playing than in class LOL. The baskets are beautiful! If you hang them up high will you be able to see all the colorful plants so well? Also, your mum's garden looks so nice with all the blue color, and her potted azalea is so pretty! Your Japanese maple looks nice (I like the turtle) and they say that they stay smaller when grown in pots. Thanks for a great video!
Hi Sue and yes you’ve hit the nail on the head, that’s just what he’s like. 😂 actually we have hung the baskets now and I did think of that, so they are quite low so we can still see the plants. Mum’s garden is pretty isn’t it? And I expect I’ll have to move the Acer at some point but hopefully it’ll be fine for a while. Hope you’re having a good week so far 🩷💚
Thanks so much for sharing a beautiful garden with us today so well put together and everything is so manicured hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie
Hi Sandy and Debbie and thank you so much for joining us in our garden. Hope you’re having a really wonderful week so far 💚🩵
Please can Richard have his own slot he is hilarious 😂
Hi Sarah, he is! We need more of The Unenthusiastic Gardener, I will let him know 😂 I’m not sure he will agree with you but we can try 😊 hope you’re having a great week 💚🩵
Well I don’t buy it for a moment that the unenthusiastic gardener has never planted a basket before 😂😂. He looks like a pro! Hello Janette. Great video. Enjoyed seeing Richard and his antics 😂. He’s such a “tease” 🤣🤣. You and your Mom’s gardens are looking lovely and I love the combination of plants in your hanging baskets. Those are all perennials so they will be around for awhile ☺️❤️. Take care!
Hi there Lauren 😂 he really rammed those plants in, I had to hold back from interfering 😂 Mum’s garden is adorable isn’t it? Hope you’re having a great week so far - thanks for watching 🩵💚
Our weather is better than yours, it's going to be 70F here in Illinois today....but your garden is definitely further along than ours. So far mostly green here and some hostas still emerging. Your garden and your mum's are both beautiful 🌸🌳
Isn’t that weird that you have better weather but my garden is more ahead? Strange isn’t it? Thanks so much for watching 😊 hope you’re having a great week so far 🩵💚
You have such a beautiful garden and so many pretty little sections. Thanks so much for sharing them with us. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie.
That’s so lovely of you, I do like having little sections 😊 looks like sunshine today after quite a few days of rain so I’ll be out today tackling some more of my weeding 💚🩵
Garden was beautiful. I watched from the beginning to the end. Didn’t want to miss anything in this video beautifully put together and shared wonderfully too.
And thank you too for leaving not one, not two, but three comments today 😊💚🩵
I simply love your garden spaces! Everything is gorgeous! I am in zone 8b in the US, and our temperatures have already reached over 80°F. 😳 It can present a challenge as everything I plant must be able to handle hot and humid weather. On a positive note, we have a very long growing season. Richard is such a trooper! I literally laughed out loud when he "teased" the plant! Lol!
I am so happy I found your channel. Happy gardening! 🌸🌼🌻
Hey there KayJane and I’m glad you found it too 😂 isn’t it interesting how we have the same zones and yet totally different weather patterns! I think my zone 8 relates more to the mildness of our winters rather than the heat of our summers. So glad we made you smile today 😊 he is definitely The Unenthusiastic Gardener! Thanks so much for watching and have a fabulous week 🩵💚
LOL!!!! I laughed so much, thank you Richard, just what I needed. Both hanging baskets are gorgeous. I did mine today, yours are better. I was boring and used bedding plants!!! I think its supposed to get a bit warmer this week, Richard will be pleased!! xx
Oh thanks Debbie, so pleased to make you laugh. Well I would have used bedding plants but my baskets are for the shade. Hope you and Adrian are having a great week and thanks so much for always watching my friend 🩵💚
Hello 👋 Janette and Richard, love seeing your mom’s garden again. I remember when Rich installed the decking and it’s still looks great! I see so much of you in your mom’s garden❤TFS. Ugh weeds and seed pods, they are never ending 😫. Love that idea to pick a chore out of a hat, wait til I tell my hubby that one😂 Richard is hysterical 😂😅, we appreciate you Rich🥹🤩, 👏 great job, you’ve made your beautiful wife 😀 happy.
Hi Elizabeth and yes Mum’s garden is looking gorgeous 🩷 she loves pottering around out there. I’ve managed to weed about 4 areas so far. Always glad to chat to you, you know that, and glad we made you laugh 🩷 Wishing you a fabulous week 💚🩵
Awww, that’s great exercise for mom too🌿🌷, good for her. You both are meant for each other, 🥰, and yes you guys make me laugh,you both feed off of each others energy 🙌
@elizabethgreco-nieves you’re lovely!!☺️
🥰
Hi Janette, I was only thinking the other day that we hadn't seen your mum's garden for a while....and low and behold here it is today 😊. I have always loved Acers. I have 7 all in containers at the moment, until we sort out our final home. I thought you were very trusting letting Richard plant up one of the baskets. They both look great. 😊😊😊
Hi Pauline, yes I couldn’t resist showing you Mum’s garden again as it’s looking so pretty. Wow 7 Acers!! Spectacular. I think I’ll end up having to replant mine as it gets bigger 🤞 but good to hear you have all yours in containers too. I thought Rich did a great job, even though he was quite rough with his basket 😂 he hasn’t even looked at it since I don’t think 😂 funny though. Thanks for watching and hope you’re having a great week 💚🩵
So fun to watch!
Hello there Dawn 😂 so pleased to make you smile today!! Hope you’re having a great week 💚🩵
Will someone please submit this fun segment to the GMB show? Who knows...these hilarious bit could go viral.😊🧐
😂😂 Topaz you made me smile then … so glad we made you laugh too 😂 have a happy week 🩵💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardenerYou truly made my day! Thanks a million!🥳
💐👌🥇
😊😊 MJ I’ll tell him he has a medal 🥇 😂🩷💚 have a lovely week!!
I was just about to head to bed and your video popped up. Laughed so much at Richard helping you plant, thought he was going to punch right through the planter. So much fun. Your mum's backyard is lovely, does she manage to take care of it on her own
? Have a lovely week, best wishes from Canada.
Hello Iris and good morning (by the time you read this). So pleased we made you go to bed with a smile 😊 he was definitely the Unenthusiastic Gardener today!! Yes, Mum looks after her garden herself, it helps now she has the artificial grass so she out has to potter around tending to the borders. Pretty isn’t it? Thanks for watching and I wish you a fabulous week 🩵🩷
Hi Jeanette. Beautiful Acer but not sure how long it will survive in a pot that small. Maybe it's bigger than it looks on TV. Richard 'teading' the roots and freezing his a**** off was hilarious!! 😂😂😂
Anna I think you are right with the Acer! I will review at some point and no doubt it will get moved … most things do in my garden! 😂 yes, Rich at his most unenthusiastic today 😂 thanks for watching and have a great week 💚🩷
Hello mom, your garden is fantastic. ❤
Hello Pat, Mum’s garden is truly lovely isn’t it? Thanks for joining us and wishing you a wonderful week 🩵💚
A comedy show too!😊
Morning to you Bob and so pleased to have made you smile 😊 hope you’re having a great week so far 💚🩵
Great video Janette, your baskets are lovely, Richard was a good sport, his plants certainly won’t fall out as they were pushed in well lol. Guarantee his basket will flourish, he can keep an eye on it when in garden with his cuppa 😂. 💙💙
😂😂 Sandra they were certainly pushed in well! Not the most gentlest of gardeners is he? 😊 but fortunately plants are rather tough. Hope you’re having a great week 💚🩵
Good morning my friend, I love love Richard is finally coming around to do gardening, makes it more interesting since he’s unenthusiastic Gardener 😂
😂😂 Max, thank you for joining us. He didn’t want to do that one bit did he? 😂 hope you’re well and have a wonderful week 🩵💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener haha I know , but he said he is ready for the next one. You better take that offer before he changes his mind 😂. Have a good week too my friend . Always watching with my cat 😊
Will have to think of something else for him to do 😂🩵💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener yes , hopefully he becomes an enthusiastic gardener 😊
@thegonzalezs4953 I don’t think that’s going to happen 😂
👋hi Richard, looking good💖best of wishes to you both✨
Thanks RoseMary, he’s doing so well! 👍🩵☺️
Both are beautiful but you two had me laughing so much I think I enjoyed It more than planting your two baskets hopefully you get your hooks and get them up soon ❤
I’m so pleased we made you laugh Cynthia 😂 hooks are up and baskets are hanging 😊 don’t think Rich has looked at his again once! Hope you’re having a great week 💚🩵
😂Such fun! They did turn out beautifully!
Hello there Dawn, not sure Rich thought it was much fun 🤩 but now hanging up - he hasn’t checked on his once 😂 happy weekend to you 🩵💚
Hi Janette, lovely to visit your Mum's very pretty garden again. Her weigela is stunning. My Mum had a weigela also. I've never planted one myself as I think it would need to go near a fence and that would be too easy and a delight for our little furry guests and very disappointing for me. I really like weeding because there's no decisions to make. You see a weed and you pull it out, easy. Planting is much harder, too many decisions. Think I'll take your tip about making where I weed next into a game. Such fun to see Richard gardening and I think he was very proud of his efforts. Both your baskets looked great! Hope you have a lovely week. We're expecting a week of rain so my garden is going to love it. Love Bron xx
Bron I love your thought process on the weeding so much! I had never thought of it like that! Glad you liked my weed game too 🩵 Mum’s garden truly is really pretty and I’ve never had a Weigela either. We’ve had so much rain these past few days but today looks like sunshine and I have the week off work so you can imagine what I’ll be doing 😉 take care and have a wonderful week 💚🩵
Super garden, I like it a lot! Greetings to you and Richard!
Hello there and thank you so much, how lovely of you. Pouring down here again today! Hope you have a wonderful week 🩵🌺
Those are a lovely selection of plants!. It will bring out the competitive Ticahrd pretty soon. After all, he does play golf!
😂 I think he’d rather stick to the golf course ⛳️ Sunita 😂 hope you have a lovely week and thanks for watching 🩵💚
I love Acers 🥰 the baskets are beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much Jasmine 💚🩵🩷
Well done Richard, love Acers my favourite, iv got quite a lot in the garden they are beautiful,one it's blood good my husband is a gas engineer it's been in an old brass water pump for more than 30years and still looks great we moved it from my old garden to my new one, we were in our old garden 20yrs then moved to this one and we've been hear 19years this Sept. That was really funny have a great week Janette. ❤x
Hi there Helen 👋 goodness me you are definitely treating your Acer well if you’ve had it that long! We both have gas engineer husbands!! And we’ve been in this house for 19 years this November too! Glad to have made you smile today - have a wonderful week 💚🩵
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener That's so funny we have that in common 🤣 and the love of gardens thanks Janette x
Your mother’s garden looks lovely. That Azalea is stunning. I also noticed the climbing Hydrangea, with flower buds developing. Mine has none at present. It did flower a couple of years ago buy not since. I assume it’s because it’s climbing up a largish Oak Tree, along with another species - an evergreen version from Mexico, and is nowhere near the top yet.
Pulling Sycamore seeds is such fun! It’s annoying how well that one germinates, yet many Acers are terrible at it. Acer grisum, the one with the fantastic peeling bark, very rarely germinates. Both I and a friend have it in our gardens and have never managed to germinate one! Bloodgood is a great choice but it will get big.
The grass that Richard so “enthusiastically” planted in the basket would look good around the base of the Acer. Those baskets look really good. I’m looking forward to seeing them up later.
Great video as always, thank you both.
Hello my friend!! Mum definitely gas green fingers doesn’t she? I’ve pulled lots of the sycamore seedlings out already, about halfway there. Yes, always amazing how the unwanteds grow extremely well 🤪 I like the idea of the grasses around the Acer (which I know is going to be too big for that planter and end up being moved), but it looks nice for the moment. Hope you’re doing well. It rained ALL this weekend here, fortunately I’d filmed this all the weekend before 🙏 have a great week Mark 💚🩷
You two are so cute!
Hey Karol and thank you very much 😊 hope you’re having a really great week 💚🩵
What an enjoyable video!
Thanks so much Vickie and have a fabulous week 💚🩵
You two are so funny together 😂 All bundled up and planting 😉 It is 87 degrees in my neck of the woods today, ugh !!!
Would rather be in a coat... got hot way to fast, crazy !!!
Hi Lorraine, I heard you are already so hot over there! Still raining and cold here! Glad to make you smile today - have a happy week 💚🩵
I can't believevu went out in the cold for that, it's unbearable at the moment. However, great job, the planters are so colourful.
It was chilly that day but a fun morning (for me if not for Richard 😂). Thanks for watching and have a great week sjay 💚🩵
I had acer bloodgood many years ago, its stunning
Ooh I’m excited about mine Werner, I think I’ll have to move it quite soon but hopefully it will be happy there for a while. Have a great week 🩵💚
Janette, I enjoyed this so much
Morning Geraldine and so pleased to have made you smile 😊 wishing you a happy day 💚🩵
Hi Janette, thank you for sharing your Mums beautiful garden, so beautiful. I can just see her pergola painted in one of your bright choice of colours. Mine is painted mint green mostly to preserve it. I so love to see you and Richard doing things together in the garden, you make a fantastic couple and he just makes me laugh with his funny sarcastic comments and you with your secret giggles. You’re both lovely together. Thanks for the basket tips. Love them. Have a lovely week. ❤️
Hello!! You’ve given me a great idea for Mum’s pergola in painting it for her! Although that’s quite a job. I will have a think about that before I mention it to her 😂 I wonder what colour she’d choose? 🤔 Glad Rich and I made you smile today, he is funny, most unenthusiastic. Hope you have a great week 💚🩷

Hi Janette, I actually like weeding although I've given up on getting rid of all of them. Now I just call it weed management. I have brunnera Looking Glass, it's probably my favorite plant and it's in bloom right now. Richard was a good sport planting a basket with you. I don't think he'd ever admit it but I think he enjoyed it since he was doing it with you. We had a slight frost the past couple nights with temperatures in the daytime nearly 80° F.
I actually like weeding too, I put my headphones on and it’s quite enjoyable. I don’t think he actually did enjoy that, most unenthusiastic 😂 it was cold too 😂 but I had fun 🤩 Glad to hear the Looking Glass is a lovely Brunnera - they’re just such great plants aren’t they? I love mine. Hope you have a wonderful week 💚🩷
I SMILED ALL THROUGH THE VIDEO OF YOU TWO PLANTING!!! PLEASE A SEGMENT WITH RICHARD AND YOU IS WONDERFUL YOU TWO HAD SO MUCH FUN HOW MANY YEARS MARRIED ARE YOU?? THE POTS LOOKED TERRIFIC. LOVE THE GREEN GRASS BETTER THE COCO LINERS.
Oh Teresa I’m so pleased we made you smile today 😂 43 years of marriage in June, although Rich tells people he’s been happily married for 10 years 🤪 I love the green grass liners too. So much nicer, glad I came across that trick! I’ll try and get him in the garden more, he truly is unenthusiastic though 😂 hope you have a happy week 💚🩵
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener it takes a lifetime of living with a person to live with them ! You know what I mean😉🙏🏻
@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994 yes!! 🩵💚
Your mum's garden is really sweet and that azalea was stunning!
Oh thank you, Mum’s garden is so lovely isn’t it? And the azalea is a wow! Hope you’re having a lovely week 🩷🩵💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Wow is the right word! Good week thanks, although I took today off work with the forecast of sunshine and it's rain, rain, rain!
Oh yes it’s been pouring down all day here too!! 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Bring on summer!
More haste, less speed Richard!
😂😂 hi PixiPatricia I agree 😂 hope you’re having a great week 💚🩵
Fantastic video !
Good morning to you GrowTropical (I wish I could do that here!) and thank you so much. Have a very happy week 🩵💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener When it comes to gardening there are no limits :-) You can do it anywhere! Lovely Acer BTW... I am thinking about buying a fairly substantial one, however I have killed my last 4 supermarker Acers! Palmatum would look great with a yellow bamboo backsrop I am thinking.
Morning @GrowTropicalMK 🩷 thanks for watching. Acers are gorgeous aren’t they? Sorry to hears your others died though. Happy Friday to you! 💚
😊
Hi there Donna, thanks for watching and hope you’re having a great week 💚🩵
Hiya Janette! Loved the video!
In this one, I noticed some fab colourful birds you have attached to the wall as you are showing us the north side, and the camera spins around
Was wondering where you got them please? I’d love something similar to put on the side of my dire shed! Thank you!
Hi there Mahmuda and thanks for joining us. Are you in the UK? I got those birds from Amazon, here’s a link for you:
