The best 21 minutes I’ve spent all day, virtually wandering around this beautiful garden, listening to the very entertaining and useful commentary. Thank you.
I love garden and at first i started watching you, you made me smile and i found you very entertaining. Now when i am gardening i am looking at my boarders in a totally different way to shapes and colour of foliage. How different coloured greens ground the flowers around them or lifts the colour flowers around them. Thank you John, i have lerant more from you then anyone top ten gardens on tv. Also i love watching you. Thanks again for teaching me so much. ❤❤❤❤
What a great channel. Many thanks for superb plant/garden education, enriched with the best of Irish humour. Love the pacing & practical advice, please don't slow down! We don't need another GW... tweet... tweet... zzz. And there's always the pause/re-wind option for those who prefer. Any chance of a 2020 update on herbaceous border and prairie garden? Pretty please...
Thank you John and David for camera work, I want to go to garden centre and out the garden but garden centre is closed due to lock down and it's pouring down here. You have such contagious knowledge, ❤️🏴
Watching from from Vienna, Austria. Just discovered your channel and like it very much. Thank you for sharing your know how and love for gardening, really motivating... Stay safe! 👍❤️🇦🇹
Always enjoy your videos, wishing you much success in the future reopening. Love seeing all your planting, changes, and amazed with your memory of all those Latin names. I see you haven’t slowed down yet, your like a hamper on a wheel, going and never stopping. Thanks for sharing your garden. 👍❤️😊
Great commentary, John. Your white flowering Joe Pye flower is called 'Bartered Bride' it is one of my fave plants that succumbed to me neighbors' herbicide overspray. Not on the market anymore that I can tell. I had clients who called it 'Battered Bride'. Ha
Inspiring video, and so normalising. Your (and everyone's) plants have kept growing normally throughout this torrid time. I love gardening. It is so normalising and sanity-saving! I also have the salvia amistad. As it is autumn here in Melbourne Australia, I have started cutting my three salvia amistad down. One is still quite large (around 2 metres high and wide), another is a compact 1 metre by 1 metre, and the third is around 70cm by 70 cms. It is too tough leaving them large during late autumn as our strong westerly winds break the longer stems. But the purple flowers are so pretty. You don't need three side by side and so close as they grow huge in no time at all once they get going. You might find yourself moving one somewhere else. Now these flowers flower prolifically. My salvia amistad have flowered five (5) times since last spring. Each time they became very large, I trimmed them back by half and re-fertilised with a potassium-rich organic fertiliser (pellets) called Sudden Impact for Roses. They just grew like topsy and reflowered very quickly. The last one of any size is still starting to flower again, even in late autumn. I've kept my salvias since last summer and they were allright over winter, even though we had quite a few frosts. I kept them small over winter and they had some leaf black spots but survived. In early spring they came back to life and never looked back. Five repeat flowerings over spring summer and autumn. What am amazing plant it is! I loved this video and will keep watching the development of your garden. I am starting to plant for spring now so found your video very informative. I love those viburnums. I have viburnum lanarth and viburnum bodnantense dawn but am going to look for some of the ones you showed. Good luck for your open garden centre!
Looking forward to an update next summer when all those hydrangeas and other plants are in flower. Glad to know that you have managed to continue doing business even during the lockdown. Cheers and stay safe.
I save all the videos that mention plants for shady garden in my ‘watch later’ so I have them all there when I start my woodland garden, I have a bad memory too, how does he remember all the plant names ?
10:00 Camellia ...but the card shows a Bleeding Heart, Dicentra formosa "Spring Magic" I bought a pack of Geum 'Red Dragon' 2 years back. I managed to get 3 nice sized plants out of the few pots I planted; I gave one to my mom and grandma each, and kept one myself. My mom killed hers before it could flower; and my grandma's was a perfect scarlet red specimen. Mine, however, was pretty close to your "Totally Tangerine". This year, I was pleasantly surprised by the first flower of the season being a brilliant dark red just like the package said. Since then 4 more flowers have bloomed and they're all bright orange. lol
I really appreciate that your garden has been arranged to allow a variety of textures in every given area, the blooms are icing on the cake! Edit: Leaf color contrast too of course.
Lovely video...so helpful. I bought 5 Geum Mrs Bradshaw & 5 Totally Tangerine two years ago. The Mrs Bradshaw, a brilliant red, and beautiful are about a metre tall & looking fabulous, but all the Tangerine ones are small and weedy, with few flowers. All I the same bed!! I really have no idea why?
Excellent video -- Bit upset to wake up to a frost here in Watford this morning lost a few plants but chin up be a bit more careful in future ..like 29 from my Channel ..
My plants look sad very cold temps in may, my azalea just started to bloom didn't have a chance to show its beauty because of an arctic blast in May. Louisa
Same here in Connecticut, brutal April and May. My first year, too, growing from seed under grow lights. Managed to not kill them inside, but then they got nearly killed by the cold. They're not totally dead, but don't know if they're ever going to flourish. Then some plants I got thru mail order are really struggling too. : (
Hi John I have a Wisteria Sinensis Prolific to plant by a wall I looked up some say the roots travel and others say no is it like bamboo a garden thug or is it alright the more top growth the better but how are the roots thank you very much and please stay safe!
I love your channel but am hoping you will upgrade your camera soon as some of the images are very fuzzy and hard to see. I would really appreciate being able to see more close-up detail.
The blue face covering you are using correctly as a pocket liner or klenex. Binge watching all your videos! How on earth do you sit still long enough to do your editing? Hahaha!
Love your garden video…and shirt…by the way, don't wear a mask! I know of two people one got sick from no oxygen since breathing in your own stale (carbon dioxide makes you sick) the other passed out while wearing a mask…the danger is you can become "acidonic" meaning your cells aren't getting enough oxygen therefore, your system goes more on the acid side…not good…
Sorry dude but u got wrong with wisteria the japanese is going clockwise this is how to remember lol japanese are always going in the right direction in life lol
The best 21 minutes I’ve spent all day, virtually wandering around this beautiful garden, listening to the very entertaining and useful commentary. Thank you.
Does anyone else love the way John says ‘Hydrangea’ ? I do :)
Stay safe John you are a star at gardening I have learned alot
Я впервые на Вашем канале. Меня поразило то, с какой отеческой заботой и вдохновением Вы относитесь к растениям. Спасибо за видео!😍👍👏🌈🌞🐝🌹

I want a H. 'Ayesha' - nearly bought one last week! Wish I had your soil but I do have sun and rain. Thank you John.
Love Teddy doing the plant names! Thank you

Can't get enough of your funny, informative vlogs

Will look that name up, and compare photos with the plants I have when they flower.
Qué, jardín tan divino con cuántas personas trabajas para poder mantenerlo tan lindo y con tanta variedad de plantas y cual de todas mas bonitas.

Outstanding John! Glad to see you back in action shaking things up. Pretty impressive coverage of plants too.

Good to see you back John, where have you been, we’ve missed you.☘️

Great to see a video from you again John. Has been great weather for getting out in garden. Looking forward to having the garden centres open again.
Good to see you back! Thanks for the video. I wish I could visit your nursery and garden.
I’ve missed you on “the TH-cam!” Happy to see your face
Thank you 😊 you make gardeners around the world smile 😀🧤
John, would love a list of flowers for a shady garden. I'm a senior citizen, memory not great... love your videos 💚
I save all the videos that mention plants for shady garden in my ‘watch later’ so I have them all there when I start my woodland garden, I have a bad memory too, how does he remember all the plant names ?
Thanks john . I Always look forward to your films .
John...is a gardener’s gardener. :)
Thanks for the reminder John just done the Chelsea chop on my phlox
Lovely to 'walk with you' around the garden that I have been around in reality. Maybe see you soon.
Pencil and paper ready to add to my gardening list 👍.
Glad you are doing well, hopefully you will get a flood of customers when you open those doors back up! Thanks for all of your videos!
Nice to see you back, I was wondering where you had got to. Great video thank you.
Just putting in some aconitums motivated by that lovely combination with rudbekia you had last year. Thanks, John.
John we need more of your lovely videos to cheer us up :)
Nice to see you again John.
Wish I could visit your garden🙋🏼♀️groetjes uit Holland🌷🌷
The passion is so contagious!
"Water them really well for 3 weeks and then they are on their own. Tough love!"
Tough love! You crack me up! Glad to see your spring garden!
Watch you on TH-cam all the as I am beginner in gardening learning so much thankyou
This is like a crash course of gardening right here. You get the exact name, the picture, where it will do best, and what to do with it,
Love your garden centre John wish I stayed nearer but I’m in the highlands Scotland.
Hi from up north ! Great to see you back !
Looking forward to visiting real soon John! 👍
We missed your videos! Glad you are back!

I feel out of breath watching him. What a great gardener.
Love your video, very informative. Love your dog too💕
Love the educational banter
Good luck on opening. Very glad you are still in business. A wee bit far from America it is. Too bad.
It's like the toyshow for gardeners.
I really appreciate that your garden has been arranged to allow a variety of textures in every given area, the blooms are icing on the cake!
Edit: Leaf color contrast too of course.
Yes, really makes me think I rely too much on flowers. Trying to change that, though...
Wow !
Thank you 💜
See you next week hopefully 👏👍
I love this Chanel! John is very entertaining and gives loads of information although a little too speedy sometimes 😆
Speedy or not, he's definitely passionate about plants 💚
Abit speedy and no close-up of the plants or flowers too😐
Love him speedy it's very uplifting
Plus you can play back, write down the names of the plants you like and then go look ‘em up online!
4.46 That viburnum looks like a Xmas tree with ornaments on.
Thank you so much.

enjoyed your story
🌿🌱🌿🌱 great videos
Jack frost, 12:50 in, I planted it this year for the first time, and it is being attacked by some insects, hope the treatment works
The the sound of walking on gravel
Good to see you, John. Where's Teddy?
Yippee you are back.
"I'm sorry about this plant".
Morgan Freeman "But he was not sorry".
Wow. I thought my yard was special because I had THREE different kinds of hosta.
Excellent video -- Bit upset to wake up to a frost here in Watford this morning lost a few plants but chin up
be a bit more careful in future ..like 29 from my Channel ..
John. Need more bamboo videos.

Hi John what soil type do you have ? Your garden is lovely thanks for sharing it with us
Heavy clay, bad for humans to work with, good for most plants to grow in.
@@johnlordssecretgarden Thank you, John, I too have very heavy clay with bad drainage problems.
What is your privacy fence made of please?
Intro made me laugh had to like the video
Hi John I have a Wisteria Sinensis Prolific to plant by a wall I looked up some say the roots travel and others say no is it like bamboo a garden thug or is it alright the more top growth the better but how are the roots thank you very much and please stay safe!
In Ireland’s cool climate the big challenge is to get wisterias to grow.
@@johnlordssecretgarden Thank you for the help greatly appreciate it. Love your Acer Bloodgood, it looks like it glowing coral colour.
Hi John I also wanted to ask do Wisteria Prolific grafts need to be planted above the soil line or below? Once again thank ye very much
I’m not sure. I suppose the best would be to bury the graft so that the above part might grow on its own roots, but not if the graft is vey high.
Love your videos. What zone are you.
My phlox always gets powdery mildew and the bottom leaves get brown spots and turn yellow. Should I thin them out as well as cut them back?
I love your channel but am hoping you will upgrade your camera soon as some of the images are very fuzzy and hard to see. I would really appreciate being able to see more close-up detail.
Очень увлеченный своим делом человек!!!
What's that clockwise and Anticlockwise growth John. Very political 😂...
Massive big up from me in Kenya. Big fun of yours.
Have you tried Wendy's Wish salvia? It is slightly smaller but it really performs well.
They are good salvias, very good for pots and not particularly winter hardy
I'm sure you've been asked before...how in the heck do you remember every one of the plant variety
names?
When I was young I was very good at remembering plant names because I was so interested in them.
The blue face covering you are using correctly as a pocket liner or klenex. Binge watching all your videos! How on earth do you sit still long enough to do your editing? Hahaha!
Hard to believe he used to play keyboards for Deep Purple.
HE DID ? Deep Purple Machine Head my fav years ago.
I believe that was another gentleman named Jon Lord, not this John Lord
The Deep Purple John Lord is deceased.
Me too. I prefer Japanese wisteria
Cerro Potosí lol its in Bolivia, its a salvia gregii
Seems really blurry to me.
What does
Who is this crazy man?
I beg your pardon?
This is my husband.
I LOVE him! So passionate about plants. This is how I am, showing visitors my plants 🤣
Poor camera person, but is probably used to it. 😂

You making me dizzy going too fast for me to keep up.
Love your garden video…and shirt…by the way, don't wear a mask! I know of two people one got sick from no oxygen since breathing in your own stale (carbon dioxide makes you sick) the other passed out while wearing a mask…the danger is you can become "acidonic" meaning your cells aren't getting enough oxygen therefore, your system goes more on the acid side…not good…
Sorry dude but u got wrong with wisteria the japanese is going clockwise this is how to remember lol japanese are always going in the right direction in life lol
