Thank you so much for joining me and watching - see you all next time.

You have a beautiful garden Annette, you and Richard have done alot of hard work but it has definitely paid off. There are so many beautiful plants and the colors are glorious. It must be really beautiful when you look outside and see all that you have created, it's just magical.
Thanks Jane. That means a lot to me. yes, the garden is bringing me so much joy. I showed a friend around today and doing that really makes me appreciate all the beauty. Nature is wonderful 😊
Three hundred plants! 😮. Goodness gracious you! Thank you for the lovely tour. All your hard work is showing beautiful results. ❤
Thanks Leah. Yes, I counted 368 dahlias! Not to mention how many annuals I grew this year but now I can look at the garden every day and relish the beauty - I truly love flowers so much. They bring so much joy to my heart. 😊
@@cottoverdi That is wonderful. You are truly blessed. 😇
Flower beds look amazing. All your hard work sowing seeds and growing them on has payed off. Wow over three hundred dahlias and so many pretty ones, I can see how difficult it is to pick a favourite. The nematode drench is certainly doing its thing protecting your precious blooms. Certainly been a dreadful year for those pesky slugs and snails.
Thanks Jackie. It felt like a LOT at times, especially during May but now I look out at the garden and can't wait to get out there to drink it all in. Aren't gardens just so fabulous?! 😊😁🌸
Gorgeous! The Dahlia Edith Jones, Rosa Koko Loco and the Squirrel’s Tail really caught me eye.
Thnsks. those are some of my favourites too!
Well done you guys.
The garden is looking lovely.
Really enjoyed the tour while having Sunday morning coffee.
Thank you 🌻
Brilliant - I'm so glad you enjoyed it with your coffee 😊
The garden looks Amazing! all your hard work has paid off.
Thank you so much! 😊
Hello Annette, thank you so much for sharing your garden in such detail. There was so much to see and you have a few things I have in my garden. I definitely have the Cosmos "Double Click White" and I can't remember if you showed some but I have some called "Sweet Sixteen" which are well worth growing. I have found some of the Cosmos can flop over and snap at the base, so I had to tie one back with a very snapped stem, but it's gone on to full flowering mode right now. I also found sticking short lengths of stick or bamboo just to give some support at the very lower ends just gives the Cosmos plants the support to grow tall without fall all over the place. Your garden always reminds me of "The Glory of the Garden" by Rudyard Kipling. I still have one more of your videos to watch and then I've caught up with you. Thanks again. XX
Thanks Jimmy. I've sown Sweet Sixteen in the past (and still have some seeds) but I really had to narrow down my choice this year because all the annuals can become overwhelming when I'm potting up and watering hundreds ... plus they drive Richard insane since we don't have a greenhouse (yet).
Yes, my Cosmos can flop too but I generally pack things in so tightly that they don't have a chance, having said that, I had to prop-up 2 dahlias today because they've grown taller than I was expecting and Ryecroft Porcelain fell over in the rain. 😕
Your reference to Rudyard Kipling has me gobsmacked. That's the kindest compliment and I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. 😊
I love your garden Annette. Thank you for sharing it with us.
You are so welcome, Stan. Thank you for watching. 😊
Wow I didn’t realize how big your garden is! You have a lot of variety and everything looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much Cathy! 😊 Yes, it can sometimes feel overwhelmingly large but then at times of year, like now, I can really appreciate the results of all the work 😁
it certainly looks stunning and its going to look even more lovely as the dahlias open I love night silence i have that in my garden
Thanks Linda. yes, Night Silence is fabulous. Along the same lines as Rose Koko Loko. Such a lovely antique-y colour. 😊
You have such a beautiful garden, including some of my favorite dahlias ❤❤.
Thanks Rachel. It's so exciting to watch each one start to bloom. It's like seeing old friends again 😊
Absolutely stunning feel like I've been in your garden and take it all in. Love all your flowers, your dahlias are absolutely gorgeous, so pleasing for the eyes. I've only got a small garden I think I've put wrong flowers in the wrong place. And love soft colours, you are such and inspiration. Thank you for sharing it look forward to see your August flowers. Have a great day xx
Thanks Anna. So glad you enjoyed the tour. I'm really enjoying all the flowers in the garden! 😁🌸
Beautiful stunning looking garden, its a pollinators dream.
It really is! Thanks Nicholas. As I walking down the garden path yesterday, the sound was amazing! 🐞🐝🪲🦋
Your garden is stunning, indeed!!!! I have added dozens of dahlias in my wishlist for next year because of your videos. I really look forward to seeing more of your beautiful plants.
Thank you and, also, I'm so sorry to be adding to your wish list 🤣
I think the red crosmerria not sure spelling but the red is called Lucifer planted close to the purple culvers root is stunning. I would love that in my garden. You are so fortunate to have all those beautiful flowers and im so impressed you can grow a lot from seed
Oh thank you! 😊
Ohhh I hope Cosmo was ok!!! Cats do seem to get themselves into trouble 🙈 the garden is absolutely magical! I've just been to Cornwall for a couple of days and we visited the Eden project and the Lost gardens of Heligan. Honestly your borders are of that standard. It's just amazing it's all done by you and Richard! Astonishing amount of work has gone into this enchanting display 🌺
Thanks so much Louise. Yes, Cosmo recovered very quickly - the young always do 🤣. He's 1 today! Your lovely comments are so generous and I can't quite believe it. Thank you! 😊
Beautiful as usual ❤ thank you for sharing your beautiful garden.
You are so welcome, thanks Juliana 😊
Great garden tour Annette Thanks. My dahlias has also start flowering this week. Kind regards Joke.
Thanks Joke. I love the colour and vibrancy of dahlia season 😁🌸
My dahlias are still growing but the ones in flower which are new to us this year are
Copper Boy which is the most stunning flower I've ever seen.
Genova
Mystic Spirit
Poodle Skirt
Who dunnit
and Fire Pot which was a £1 tuber from B&M in the sale.
To keep slugs off we bought nematodes x2, we also use slug pellets and we also use fishing forceps to pull them off twice and evening.
But the copper boy dahlia is just stunning. Never seen anything like it.
Oh, that's so exciting Adam because I do have 1 Copperboy tuber that is new this year - now I can't wait for it to start flowering. I had Poodle Skirt last year but lost them all over winter so I will have to replace them but I'm growing Fenna Baaij as it's very similar. 🌸
Your garden does look wonderful!❤
Thank you Dawn. That means a great deal to me 😊
Love your garden tours.
Thank you! 😊
Wow! Such beautiful flowers Annette & Richard. I like you showing it like it really is weeds and all. Nobody's garden is ever perfect. Your dahlias are gorgeous. The red of the crocosmia makes for a nice pop of colour. I have a Phantom hydrangea in tree form. I'm waiting for a second flush with my roses. That Night Silence is so unusual. Thanks for the tour. Bonny, Canada
Hi there Bonny! Thank you for watching. I've love a tree hydrangea - something for my wish list 😁
Colors are amazing 😊
Thanks Suzanne 😊
Such a beautiful garden Annette. Thankyou for the tour. I am just ordering my dahlias down here in NZ.🌺
Thanks Marie. I'm already thinking ahead to what I'd like to add next year - I already have a wish list...!
It is beautiful!! I’m about ready to have my first dahlia bloom.
Thanks Sally. Hope you can enjoy a garden filled with beauty this year. 🌸🌸🌸
Fabulous garden tour. My dahlia wish list is getting longer! ha ha. Im am chuffed to bits with my Koko Loko too. Just planted up this spring as a bare root plant and it is absolutely smothered in its' delicious blooms. Simply gorgeous. It looks as if the rose Henri Delbard has died. It was also planted up as a bare root this Spring. Truly disappointing. I may buy another in next Spring as it would have fitted in perfectly in the spot I chose for it. Out of the 6 ross I bought that one was te only one to die 😞 My cut flower bed at the allotment has been keeping me, friends, family and neighbours in lovely bouquets for the past few weeks. It is so lovely to bring them into the house and to bring joy to others. Chuffed to bits with my new apricot flowered salvia. Can't remember the name but I have put it alongside Icing sugar, 2 pretty plants together. I am rambling again so I'll leave you in peace.Happy gardening 🙂 x
Thanks Be. I love Koko Loko so much - such an unusual colour and it's been flowering for AGES - much longer than the Eustacia Eye (that I also love but has finished for now). I've also had blooms on Julia's Rose this year and the colours are so similar but the flowers are smaller and more open with less petals - so a good number of differences and I'm really enjoying it. 😁
@@cottoverdi fabulous!
Just beautiful!😊
Thank you Elizabeth ! 😊
Enjoyed your tour!
Thanks so much Susan. 😊🌸
So lovely!
Thanks so much! 😊
Don’t apologise for the weeds, it’s just real life. Much better than a show garden 🌻
Ah, thanks Susan 😊
Lovely garden 🫶🏻
Thanks so much! 😊
Stunning is right! Such beautiful combinations you made 🤩 My Dahlia's are just starting, but I have beautiful specimens too (I am eagerly waiting on Shiloh Noelle, I know you have that one also). If only the slugs did not like them too 🤢 Thanks for the tour 💚
Ah, thanks. That means so much to me. I don't have any flowers from Shiloh Noelle yet. Those slugs have been (and still are) a nightmare this year! 😊
Thanks for the tour, such beautiful Dahlias! I grew Teesbrooke Audrey last year and fell in love with it but it didn’t reappear this year, I think the wet start to the year put paid to that. Interesting that you have had some come up the wrong colour as I planted one this year which should be orange and has just started flowering and is lemon yellow. Annoying as the reason I got it was that it had the same name as my mum and now I’m wondering if I have the right plant. You have a great little ladybird farm on that daisy, I have some ox-eye daisies near my rose and found that the black fly preferred them and left the rose alone so I’m happy to keep them in as a decoy 😊
Thanks Nicki, It's so annoying when we get sent the wrong tubers - I have a HORRENDOUS orange one that is supposed to be happy Butterfly and it's really upsetting 😕
I was very tempted to leave that daisy in all summer but it was starting to look bedraggled and it was really blocking some beautiful dahlias so I've yanked it out now. Hopefully the butterflies will find all the other gazillion aphids in my garden - I've never seen them on my dahlias before this year and this year some of the dahlias are literally covered in them. Very annoying 🫤
Your garden is full and lush just beautiful! My dahlias are just starting to open , I can’t wait. Thanks for sharing.💐
Thank you so much - I'm really enjoying all the colours! 😊
Your garden lifts my heart ❤️
Gosh, wow, thank you so much 😊
loved it, most beautiful views❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks a lot 😊
Can’t wait for more on the dahlias . Can you mention if they are from seedlings or bulbs. Thank you
Hi Olivia, yes, thank you for the nudge - all of mine are from tubers that I've purchased as named varieties. 😊
Wonderful, loved seeing all your beauties and sharing your excitement over your dahlias and happy combinations! We grow a dark red snapdragon with dark foliage called Red Prince, could that be the one that overwintered?
Hi Diane, thank you, and thank you too, for your suggestion - I've looked at the list of seeds I sowed in 2022 and I think it is a Snapdragon called Black Prince. It may be the same as your Red Prince - they look similar but my packet was labelled Black Prince. Thanks for the nudge to do the research - I was being lazy 🤣 🌸
@@cottoverdi My mistake, it is Black Prince. Happy gardening.
The garden looks fab! I’m just catching up on your videos because I’ve been on holiday, just wondering what the green spiky leaves every so often are in front of sky fall hydrangea? Are they iris? Thanks 😊
Hi Clare, they are Acidanthera murielae (Abyssinian gladiolus). I love them so much so we planted loads earlier this year. Some, in other beds, have flowered already - I'm really not sure why they are flowering at different times all over the garden! 😁
Thanks 😊 They look so healthy and really add to the border, even without flowers, they look great!
I have no dahlias in bloom. Not this year so far. Plenty of insects trying to destroy them, though
Yes, Sheryl. I feel your pain. So SO SO many slugs and snails this year. Such a pain in the....! 🤣
