Planting Gorgeous Climbers … Star Jasmine & Chilean Potato Tree 💚
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- In today’s video I am planting two beautiful new vines.
First is a Tracelospermum Jasminoides, commonly known as ‘Star Jasmine’. This has very fragrant white flowers, borne in mid Summer, backed by the dark, shiny leaves of this slow-growing evergreen climber. It’s ideal for a sheltered, sunny wall in well-drained, fertile soil. Height and spread in 10 years is 20m x 2.5m (70ft x 8ft).
Secondly, I have a Solanum Crispum ‘Glasnevin’, commonly known as the ‘Chilean Potato Tree’. This has rich purple-blue, orange-centred flowers from mid Summer to mid Autumn. It’s a vigorous scrambler with oval, mid green foliage. Suitable for south or west-facing, sunny sheltered spots, on well-drained soils. Height and spread in 10 years is 6m x 6m (20ft x 20ft). Prune in early spring as needed.
Both these climbing vines have been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit because they have proved to be reliable in appropriate conditions and good performing plants. For more information on RHS Award of Garden Merit plants, visit:

Ha ha good to see the Enthusiastic Golfer looking after his tools 🏌️
Haha yes Helena, he’s always out there polishing his trolley or something, he even cleans his used golf balls 😂 have a happy week 💚🌺
Thank you Jeanette. I really enjoyed the video today. Look forward to seeing your new plants develop. Good to see Richard keeping busy too!
Good morning Geraldine and thanks so much for joining us today. Hoping the plants both do well and I’m looking forward to the scent of the Star Jasmine as everyone tells me it’s amazing. I’ll keep you updated. Off to work shortly so I wish you a fabulous day!! 🌺💚
The blue seat and olive look really nice where they are placed now. Great to see our Richard looking so well ❤❤
Thank you Julie, I hadn’t intended to move either, as you know, but I quite like them there now. You made me smile saying “our Richard” ☺️ hope you’re having a great week 🌺💚
Very beautiful tranquil space you and Richard have created. The birds chirping so beautifully in the background.
Thank you so much. I tend to garden early in the mornings which I think is why all the birds are singing. 🎶 Hope you’re doing well and I wish you a fabulous week 🌺💚
Lovely to see Richard doing his thing and looking so well,love your new plants in garden,hopefully your Jasmine will be smelling so beautiful in no time 🎉
Hello Joyce and thank you so much! Wishing you a great week 🌺💚
Lovely choice of climbers, they will make a lovely display 😁
Thank you so much Brett, I’m looking forward to seeing them (hopefully) grow! And the scent of the Star Jasmine is supposed to be gorgeous too so I have my fingers crossed 🤞. Hope you’re doing well. Rainy Essex weather we are having, but our plants are loving it 🩵🩷
❤Janette❤Richard❤
Hey MJ how are you? Happy Monday & thanks for watching 😎🌿
Loved the new plants and Richard doing his golf clubs
Hey there Iris and thank you 🙏 I hope you’re ok and having a lovely week so far 🌺💚
Lovely to see Richard ❤
I’m so jealous of your Jasmine. We’ve just had no luck with it…. You’ve inspired me to try again
Hello my friend. I’ve never had a Star Jasmine so no idea how it will do for me, just fingers crossed 🤞 because the scent is supposed to be divine. Hope you’re doing well and Kate too. Love to you both 🌺💚
Oh Jeanette! - the frustration & disappointment on seeing a lovely planting area only to feel/hear that awful CLUNK as you reach concrete REALLY EMPATHISE. Full of admiration for your perseverance & ingenuity - you always come up with a great PLAN B 👏🏼😊👍. Your garden looks lovely. Richard again has shown another ‘string to his bow’. Is he amazing or what? Well done Rich. Hope the weather improves for all of us gardeners. 🌞💐 God bless all. Philomena 🙏🏼❤️
Hello Philomena 😁😁 thank you, and yes, why do we all have concrete in our gardens? 😂😂 so annoying but then again it makes us rethink our plans and come up with things we’d never considered! Rich is very amazing, and maybe a weekly golf tip ⛳️ ? Hope you’re doing ok - nearly the weekend ❤️
Our eldest son is an enthusiastic golfer All tips welcome 😂
😁 I know I’m going to get a laugh when Richard appears…”The Enthusiastic Golfer.” lol Love you both! And love how you came up with an even better arrangement after hitting concrete in the soil. (for me it seems to always be a big tree root.)
Thanks so much Lindylou, lots of concrete in my garden and I always forget it’s going to be there!! So annoying 😊 but it’s funny because it made me do something I hadn’t even considered in moving the chair. I think the name Enthusuastic Golfer is very apt 😂 I’m going to persuade him to do a bit of gardening next weekend … he doesn’t know yet wink 😉 you’re the first to know Lindylou 😉 hope you have a great week 💚🌺
Love you guys! You continue to bring smiles. Thank you for the video!
And thank you so much for watching dear Vickie and have a fabulous week 🌺💚
Thanks, Janette!
Lovely new plants and I’m sure they’ll thrive in their carefully selected locations!! 🌸 🌺 Your newly positioned garden seat looks perfect! 😎
It was great to see Richard looking so well and busy in his workshop - he’s definitely an enthusiastic golfer! 🏌️♂️
Here in Scotland it’s still quite chilly most days but our new solar fountain is now in situ and looking good the few times the sun has actually appeared!! 🤣
Have a good week and happy gardening! 🪴 🌻 🌳 😃
Hi Fiona and thank you so much ☺️ oh yes he loves his golf as much as I love the garden, he’s always washing his trolley or something similar out there 🩵 hes doing really well and is allowed to play now. Glad to hear your fountain is up and running, it’s still chilly here most days too. Hope you have a lovely week 💚🌺
Morning Jeanette and Richard, I love star jasmine ❤️ the purple climber will look beautiful in that corner. Lovely to see so much of dear Lottie 🐾 Richard looks very well. Looking forward to watching the climber's grow. Pottering in your dressing gown early in the morning, thinking, is what everyone with a love of gardening does 🤣. Very best wishes 💚 super video xx
Thanks Val and yes, dressing gown planning is as essential part of the gardening process 😂 have a happy week 🌺💚
That was a brilliant solution for your "little snag". The bench looks good in the corner. You will love the star jasmine as it creeps up the fence. It smells lovely and is an evergreen.
Hi there Karyn and thank you so much ☺️ I quite like the bench there and I wouldn’t have thought of it if it hadn’t been for the concrete 💚 I’m looking forward to the scent of the Star Jasmine. Have a lovely Tuesday 💚🌺
Thank you Jeanette and Richard for sharing your garden and golf video. I enjoyed watching you both in action, your plan B shows how gardening requires inventive skills.
YEITN
Hello there Stephen and thanks for your expert EITN 😂 yes, sometimes obstacles come up which make us have to re-evaluate and find something you’d never have thought of 🤩 hope you’re doing well up there and getting things done 🩷 have a happy weekend 💚🩷
Hi Jeanette, all good up here, busy with things like our 47th wedding anniversary! Good to see you and Richard looking well.
Cheers
@stephenfoster1818 oh wow Happy Anniversary to you both and 47 years 🥳 🎉 that’s very special ❤️
Morning Janette. Looking forward to watching your new climbers grow, they will look amazing i'm sure. You plan everything so thoroughly and it shows, the garden looks beautiful. You have green fingers for sure. Love to you both and Lottie. xxx🌻🥀🌻🥀🌻🥀
Good morning Jane and that’s so nice of you, thank you!! Have a happy week 🌺💚
WOW! I am envious looking at that cool olive tree with the spiral trunk! LOL. 😊. Thank you for taking us along today while you encounter gardening obstacles and figure out how to solve them. Makes me feel at home, since I've had a few similar obstacles in my garden the past two days. 🌺
It’s a lovely cool trunk isn’t it Topaz? 😎 very architectural, I do love it. Yes, I’d forgotten about that concrete and there’s more dotted around, especially in the corner with the green container as there used to be a pond there which was filled with and planted with a wonderful collection of weeds when we moved here 😂 still finding bits of it today. Don’t know what was at today’s end though. I’ll never know!! So you know the feeling then? 😊 hope you have a great week 💚🌺
The Jasmine will be lovely across the wall, and that potato tree, never heard of that before. Look forward to seeing how much they grow this summer. Whooo, I started to worry when Richard had a time pushing that grip to the end. I thought he was going to leave the blue on the tape, and push it over that. You guys have a lovely week ahead.
Hi there Wende, I’d never heard of the Chilean Potato Tree either so will be fun to see what happens. I was thinking the same as you about the golf grips! He’s always out there polishing and cleaning something or other to do with his golf ⛳️ 😂 have a happy week 💚🌺
Hi Janette, your garden is looking so beautiful as always. I do love a Star Jasmine. It'll be beautiful on the trellises. It's so disappointing when you're just about to plant and you hit cement or rock as I did this afternoon but you've found the perfect solution. They're both going to be so pretty. I was so pleased to find a beautiful lime green Heuchera today. Always good to see Richard. He does make me smile and very interesting to see how the 'Enthusiastic Golfer' replaced the grip. Hope you both have a great week. Love Bron xx
Hello my dear Bron, I’m excited to see what the Star Jasmine smells like 👍 I seem to have lots of pockets around where I hit concrete, especially in the green container corner. The previous owners had a big pond there, it was filled in and full of weeds by the time we moved here, but so much of it is still under the soil. Rich dug loads out about 10 years ago but there’s still some down there. Don’t know what that concrete today was originally there for though. Lime green Heuchera, that sounds lovely. Love those so much as you know. Yes, Rich is always polishing his golf trolley or something in his garage. Keeps him happy that’s for sure 😂 have a happy week 🌺💚
Looks beautiful Janette, I'm shouting at the screen move your seat so funny, have a lovely week u 2 x❤.
I heard you Helen!! 😂😂 thank you, you have a great week too 🌺💚
Hi Janette, your new editions are so pretty. Richard looks great. Hope you enjoy your week.
Thank you so much Adra, he’s doing really well, never happier than when he’s prepping for a game of golf 😂 have a great week 💚🌺
Gardening is always a bit of a challenge but I love how the garden directs our steps. Love the new arrangement of climbers. The mirror is so cool. The Jasmine will fill that wall with gorgeous bloom and fragrance. Love watching you and dog think through the process😂😂Richard mad me giggle his humor. Good seeing you sit and admire your hard work and creative space.
You’re so right Teresa, the garden does direct our steps! I’m excited for the scent of the Star Jasmine which everyone says is amazing! Lotte is a great garden assistant indeed bless her. Hope you and Reg are doing well. I saw he is having another open house of his creations, oh how I wish I could come along. I do hope you film it? Have a great week 💚🌺
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I will definitely get the word out about his open house he’s always glad to see you like his page. Seeing Richard recover so well prayers answered! You are so fit what’s your secret!!?
@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994 I’m not fit actually, I have to lay down in a darkened room when I finish my gardening 😂😂
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener you and your husband are such comedians start your own comic show👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can't believe how much the garden has started filling out since the last video! Looking fab ❤
Hello Sharon, it seems to happen all of a sudden doesn’t it? And I suppose I don’t really notice as I see it every day. Just love Spring so much though, don’t you? Hope you’re having a great week 🌺💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I do love Spring. The anticipation and excitement of seeing seeds germinate or plants coming back to life and all the pollinators arrive. You can't beat it.
@sharonbell7335 I could not agree more! 🌺💚❤️
Thank you for saving us looking at your rear end lol!! That is one of my pet peeves when watching planting videos can’t stand look at peoples a…! Love your garden so whimsical
😂😂 it’s certainly difficult to film planting sometimes for that reason. I’ve planted in really awkward impractical positions that I’d never plant in usually, just because of a camera 😂 thanks so much for watching and have a very happy week 💚🌺
lol that’s one of my favorite words as well! I thought I was the only one that loves that word. I love where you moved the olive tree to. Your garden amazes me. It’s exploded into a beautiful garden so quickly. It’s still cold here but so far my plants are starting to come back nicely. My sweet peas are doing well or they were before this recent temperature drop this week. I didn’t check them today. Fingers crossed 🤞 they will be ok. Have a great week. 💚🌱🪴🪻🌺
Oh my, I love ALL the changes and new plants you’ve added are perfect! Love the chair in its new home.
Hello and thank you so much 😊 I left my phone at work last night so am only just reading messages 🤪 it’s such a great word isn’t it? With a great meaning 😄 hope your sweet peas were alright and hope you’re having a great week 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener you’re so welcome ☺️Yes, it is and great meaning for sure. There’s a movie,🎥 titled serendipity. It’s so good.
Well I stopped writing to take my babies out. When Jack is ready to go outside, he’s ready. lol but anyway I didn’t check my flowers yesterday. I think I was just afraid to…I just did and everything made it. They need sunshine for sure. Thankfully it’s a beautiful day and plenty of sunshine 🌞 today. We had so much rain before the cold front came through. My jasmine is blooming!!! Smells so sweet. I have another one that my neighbor gave me over the weekend. I’ve got to find a spot for it. Not like I don’t have room lol but it has to be where it will thrive. My week’s been a bit crazy but hopefully the rest of it is better. I hope yours is great and have a wonderful weekend. ☺️
The garden is looking so lush and alive. I really like where the chair is now. I don't grow many vining plants as they seem to be able to take over around here. Japanese honeysuckle is invasive here (it's just everywhere, not planted intentionally)and one year I planted morning glory and 😮it went everywhere! Jasmine has a beautiful scent and autumnal color will be fantastic. Richard in his element is a happy sight! Happy Earth Day all🌎💚
Hello there Eileen and Happy Earth 🌍 Day to you too! Thanks for watching and for liking the new chair position which as you know wasn’t my intention at all but I do rather like it. Interesting about the vines where you are and I’ll make sure to keep an eye on mine. Looking forward to the Star Jasmine scent. Have a happy week 💚🌺
Hi There Janette and Richard. I really like that mirror on the fence. The climbers will look beautiful once they grow and flower.. I have a star jasmine which I have growing for about thirty years now it always does well. Happy gardening
Oh Olga thank you, and for telling me about your Star Jasmine as I’ve never had one but so looking forward to the scent which everyone says is divine! Wish you a lovely week 🌺💚
Nice to see Richard fixing the grippers. I had no idea you had to do that, it looks challenging. I hate to think of the mess I’d make if I tried that! You look great after all your garden work, I love your dog too. You should go for a flamingo walk, maybe you’ll find another one.
😂😂 Nancy I’ve never found anything since! That was so funny, especially because both days I was seen walking two dogs and a flamingo 🦩 I don’t know what the neighbours must have thought. The crazy dog woman 😂😊
Nice seeing you both. Glad you were able to figure out all the placements of plants and obelisks. Your place is absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much Cynthia, so lovely of you! Hope you have a really great week 💚🌺
Good morning my friend, I’m just at the beginning at the video , and I’m like , wow , I wish I can found those climbers in my area . I love the jasmin and the Chilean potato , the color is beautiful. Yes , like always , enjoying my coffee and by the way with my cat watching your video every morning 😊
Good morning Max my friend and hope you and your cat are well!! Hope you have a great day and I’ll see you again real soon 🌺💚
😃 Richard may rename your channel "The Enthusiastic Golfer with gardening wife!" Your garden is so pretty! We were very warm then a cold spell, frost last night! Hopefully I can get out and do a few things today! Have a great week! 🥰
😂😂 yes Peggy, he’d like that I’m sure! Your frost just makes me realise that we aren’t in the safe zone yet!! Hope you manage to get some things done today. Have a great week 💚🌺
Good morning Janette, Richard and Lotte
Lovely sunny weather. Great idea moving the chair to plant the Chilean potato tree, which is now on my list. I already have the other climber. Clematis don't work for me either, so many others to choose from. He loves his golf,so it stands to reason that he will know all aspects of it. I'm thinking of training a variegated ivy on one of my fences for a change. That's all from me. Thank you for an enjoyable vlog💯💞🍰🍰☕☕
Good morning to you too Sharon! How has your Star Jasmine done? Does it get very big? Both are new to me. A variegated ivy on your fence will be lovely, and so easy to grow. Hope you find a Chilean Potato Tree too! Wishing you a very lovely week 🌺💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener hi...the star jasmine has done well. I have it in a pot and it has climbed the front trellis(by the bins) ok. I don't give it extra attention so it's a case of the plant saying " I'm alright here. Let me do my thing🙃" I have seen the Chilean plant in gardens. It's beautiful in flower. I'm sure people wonder what it is😍
It’s reassuring to hear yours survives well when left to its own devices 👍 hope mine is as happy too 😊🌺
I so love to see the two of you.
Good morning Donna and thank you, that’s so lovely of you! Wishing you a great Tuesday 🌺💚
What a wonderful time of the year! Spring! It fills my heart to see all the new foliage sprouting. Soon flowers will follow and a lush garden is ready to be enjoyed! Your garden is beautiful, Jeanette! Your hard work has paid off and we get to reap the benefits of it! I enjoy watching you and Richard banter! Thanks for sharing your world with us viewers! God bless! 🤗🌺💐🙏🦩🌷🌻
Vickie that is so lovely of you, thank you 🙏 for your wonderful comments. I hope you’re doing well and wishing you a fabulous week ahead 🌺💚
Hello, I always enjoy seeing all ur lovely plants n the new comers to add to it! My neighbor has Jasmine plant n oh, the fragrance 🌸. Great to see Richard doing his handy work again. Ur birds add a lovely sound as well! My cat enjoys being nearby while I watch ur video Lottie is being a good girl too💕
Hey there Mary. Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to finding out what the scent is like. Everyone says it’s wonderful. I always garden early in the morning so I think that’s why the birds are singing. Lotte is always a little darling too ☺️ hope you’re having a great week 🌺💚
You will love the star jasmine! And your placement will be perfect for it. I had one in my previous garden for many years and trained it on a 8x3 trellis panel. She did very well. Like any vine, you have to manage them and she took to a yearly spring pruning/shaping very well. The trick is to prune before the white sap rises. They produce a sticky white sap . The smell is out of this world. A lovely wafting scent that will make you happy!
Oh Tamara thank you so much for all your tips which I’ll make sure to do. Can’t wait to smell the fragrance as it’s supposed to be divine 🌺 hope you have a wonderful week 🩵
Hi Janette. Lovely joyful video full of warm spring sunshine. Then I opened my back door to let Suzie in and had a blast of Arctic air 🥶😫. Fortunately, I have a micro mini greenhouse, so I'm playing with seeds and seedlings. Your new plants are beautiful, you and Richard look as young and healthy as ever. Once again, you've lifted my moral, yes it will get warmer 🎉🎉🎉 thanks for sharing ❤
Aww Kim thank you for your lovely comments as always. I certainly don’t feel young after a day digging 😂 your mini greenhouse projects sound fantastic. Hope it warms up for you soon. Have a great week and a big hug to Suzie 🌺💚
Morning Janette, your garden is looking lovely, like the look of your new climbers, might have a look for the Chilean potato one. Btw you and Richard are looking fab. 💙💙
Thanks so much Sandra and for joining us. I think I might be starting a trend with the Chilean Potato Tree, you are the second friend who is now on the look-out 😊 have a great week 🌺💚
Always a fantastic video. Thank you.. have a great week
Hello there Dave and thank you so much for joining us today - wishing you a wonderful week 🌺💚
Hello Janette and Richard👋, you are looking great Richard☺️. Janette, your jasmine climber looks amazing, I’m now on the search for one😂, I have one as a bush but I wasn’t aware that they are climbers too, so cool.looking forward to updates on these 2 new additions. Your garden is really looking beautiful in early spring. The Chilean potato tree, never heard of it but anything with purple flowers🤩.Never knew that golf club grips needed to be changed, makes sense though, interesting process.Richard is right at home in his man cave🎉 Lotte is like look at me😂🥰
Hi Elizabeth and thanks for dropping by to visit ☺️😘 I think you can have Star Jasmines as ground cover too. I saw that in all my research on TH-cam. Very pretty and I’m looking forward to seeing what the scent is like. I’ll see what happens with them both and keep my fingers crossed. I thought the golf grip process was rather interesting too, he’s always out there cleaning his trolley or polishing his balls 😂 or something 😂 Lotte just looks on, wishing we could go in and have a cuddle 🥰 hope you’re ok and having a lovely week so far 🌺💚
😂😂Richard is one busy man🤪😂☺️, all jokes aside it was interesting to see how the grip is replaced. You need to add a Richard segment at the end of your videos when Richard is doing something in his man cave 👌. I always watch my husband when he’s building his models( Star Wars/ Star Trek fan boy) and it’s fun to watch. Jasmine smells Devine, right up there with gardenias. Do you have gardenias? I found one variety that lasts for more than 1 season in my zone 7b and it’s been two years and still waiting for it to flower but I read online that it’s normal for that. Any thoughts? It’s alive though I know that😂. Thank you my friend enjoy your week too😘and have fun in your garden🍀. You need to sell tshirts I would proudly wear one!
@elizabethgreco-nieves well I could add a Richard segment but it would quite often be him watching Netflix 😂 but seriously I’m glad you enjoy seeing what he’s up to. I have no experience with gardenias unfortunately although I could probably grow them here. I’ve just looked them up on Google to see, says they’re highly toxic to dogs! But I actually don’t really worry that much about that because I think dogs tend to know which plants to avoid somehow. As for the T-shirts … hmm, I’ve never thought that anyone would want to buy a t-shirt from me? Maybe just you and I could wear them Elizabeth 😂😊 you’re such a great support my friend 💚🌺
Your garden is beautiful 🤩, I think you’re a really lovely couple 😊
Oh Bridget thank you, that’s very lovely! Have a great week 🌺💚
Hi Janette, Everything in your garden is doing so well. I am sure you'll enjoy your new climbers. I was just working in my garden and had to do some rethinking and readjusting when planting some of my seedlings because of cement footings against one of my walls. It can be annoying, but it worked out. I have star jasmine planted against my wall. They are mature, maybe 18 years old. I have a completely green wall, and they are all full of buds. It's going to smell devine. I keep mine at about 9 ft high. You're going to love the scent! I really like the chair at an angle. Lottie is so cute! Hope Richard can get out to play golf soon!
Hello there Anna and thank you for watching and commenting. Good to know your Star Jasmine has been going strong for all these years, good idea to keep it at 9ft too. I hope mine does well, I’m so looking forward to the scent. Yes, isn’t it annoying when you have an idea for a plant in an exact spot, only to find you’d forgotten about the concrete 😂 I have a load more in the other corner where the green container is, used to be a pond there way before we moved in. Have a wonderful Tuesday 💚🌺
I have star Jasmine in my garden too. I have it on an arbor and it’s I’ve had it for close to 20 years you can contain it. You have to do some vigorous pruning to keep it so it doesn’t spread it loves to climb on houses, so be careful with the neighbors garage is but it takes time to get that big and it does smell fantastic one of blooms, good to see Richard doing so well Jeanette I love your videos every week
Oh thank you so much Therese, that’s so helpful. Good to know I can hopefully control it. Thanks for your kind wishes to Richard too, he’s doing amazingly well thank goodness. Back on the golf course so he’s smiling 😂 hope you’re having a great week so far 🌺💚
Wonderful selections 🥰 my Star Jasmine is the star of my garden when it blooms and especially in autumn, I’m fact all year round, it’s literally beautiful 🥰
Well I’m not surprised you have your stunning namesake in your garden Jasmine 😍 I hope you’re having a great week so far 🌺💚
The garden is looking beautiful!
Good morning Margaret and thank you! Hope you have a lovely week 🌺💚
loved the video. we all back at gardening and it feels great. thank you for sharing. have a great week.
Hi Sonie, it’s great to be back in the garden isn’t it? Thanks for watching and I wish you a fabulous week 💚🌺
Great weather for enjoying your garden!
Hello there, well it’s raining and cold right now 😂 thanks so much for watching. Almost the weekend, hope it’s a good one ☺️💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener It has taken a turn - looking promising for the bank holiday next weekend though! 🤞🤞🤞
Your garden always looks so colorful. Excited to see the new plants flower. How about a field trip to the golf course with Richard ? 😉
Hello Lorraine and thank you so much! But I think me on the golf course ⛳️ would be the last thing Richard would want 😂😂 hope you’re having a great week 💚❤️
Hi Janette lovely to see your garden looking so beautiful. I had a jasmine in my last garden and they do spread out and go wild so need to keep a watchful eye on it. But they are so beautiful and their perfume is divine. Good to see Richard looking so well. So best wishes to the enthusiastic gardener and the enthusiastic golfer.x
Hello there and thanks so much for watching and for your great advice which I will certainly heed. Can’t wait to smell the scent as everyone says it’s gorgeous 😊 thanks for your kind comments about the enthusiastic golfer, he’s doing so well, proud of him 😊 have a lovely week 💚🌺
Good job Janette, I have been contemplating the star jasmine too. Lot of American you tubers plant and train it, also think Monty has just put one in his garden. You are in good company. I need a garden centre trip this weekend. The weather has been awful up here and I feel deprived. Thank you for sharing. 🐞🌻🌱
Morning to you Jane and thank you! Yes I’ve seen lots of US TH-camrs have a Star Jasmine too ⭐️ and I’m looking forward to the scent which is supposed to be amazing. Fingers crossed 🤞 it likes my garden here. Yes you must head off to the garden centre and do a bit of shopping, have a fun time, hope you find some lovely things 🌺💚
Great additions, Jeanette. I think though that potato is going to outgrow that spot. You may have to remove it. I would suggest the black eyed Susan vine. It will look good on your small obelisk. I have not found it grows very vigorously but has creamy or yellow small flowers. It’s available in the US. It’s an annual. I think you can put that next to your seat and move the bigger obelisk with the potato vine somewhere else.
Hi Sunita, I suspect you may well be right! As per usual, I bought a plant and then researched, instead of the other way around 😂 oh well, I will see what happens and if it grows as you suggest then maybe it just won’t be in my garden for very long. I do like the idea of the black eyed Susan so that can be my plan B 😂 have a happy week 🌺💚
Hi Janette, I too dig in my garden and find concrete. So frustrating. I too have had to rethink designs and had to plant things in different places. Yours corner turned out well in the end. 😊😊😊 Despite never wanting to play golf, I still wait Richard replacing he grip on the club. Very interesting 😊😊😊
Oh it’s very annoying isn’t it Pauline, there’s many a time when I want to plant something in an exact spot and have forgotten about the concrete! There is a lot in the corner with the green container. Rich dug loads out about 10 years ago for me but still a lot left, there used to be a pond there and when we moved in it had been filled in and they made it into a raised bed but by the time we arrived it was falling apart and filled with weeds so we took it down. With regard to Rich re-gripping his clubs, I’m the same as you - have no interest whatsoever in playing but I did find that process rather interesting to watch ☺️ hope you’re ok and have a great week 🌺💚

Hi Jeannette. Hazel here from Gortnalee Gardens! I have had both those climbers in my garden and I have had mixed experiences you might like to hear? The Potato Vine will be really easy to keep in the shape you want it by tying in bits or cutting it to shape in late summer/early autumn when the flowers have gone. Its a really pretty flower but does lose all its leaves in winter. The Star Jasmine is more tricky. Where you have it looks perfect but be aware it isn't always fully hardy for our climate so I would be inclined to put a good mulch on it coming up to late autumn to be on the safe side. The locations you have chosen are perfect for both plants and you have arranged them beautifully! Hopefully we will see some flowers on them this summer. I love the new arrangement of that seat too, You are a very creative gardener!
Hello Hazel and thank you so much for all these really great tips because as you know I’ve never had either before. I will heed your good advice as best I can and pray for the best. Do I have to cut the Potato Vine down to the ground in the winter, or keep it as it is (apart from cutting to shape)? I’ll bear in mind mulching the Star Jasmine too. Thanks ever so much for all your help ☺️ have a great week 💚🌺
Hi Jeannette. I never cut mine to the ground. I just tidy it up a bit and since my garden is very windy I tie in the long pieces so they won't get broken. Maybe it might be a good idea to cut any long strands by half the first year and see will that encourage it to make more branches!
@hluskin great Hazel thank you so much for all your help 💚
I love your videos, they are so natural and unfiltered which is a rare thing nowadays. So you have given me the gardening bug and I went to look up the potato tree and love them. I also came across madame alfred carriere which (I'm a total newbie) I'm also going to get. I just need to make space lol. Moved in and have horrible Ivy climbers everywhere.
Hi there Kris and thanks so much for your lovely comments. That’s so nice of you 😊 I just googled the Madame Alfred Carriere as I don’t know that one, and it’s really gorgeous, good choice! I hadn’t heard of the Chilean Potato Tree before either so I’m looking forward to seeing how that does for me, and I can’t wait to find out what the Star Jasmine scent is like as it’s supposed to be amazing. Good luck with your gardening, and I’m just delighted if I have given you the gardening bug! Hope you’ve had a great weekend, it’s been raining a lot all weekend here but the plants (and weeds!) have loved it 🩵🩷😊
Hi Janette, I've been looking for a climber for my new arch, I'll try to find a Chilean potatoe tree. Your garden is looking lovely
Hi there Barbara, oh that would look lovely I’m sure, although as you know, I have no experience with them, but for £12.50 it’s worth a try. Hope you find one, oh and a friend here said they lose their leaves in winter, just so you know - I can’t remember if I said that in the video? That might make a difference as to whether you want that or not. I know the Star Jasmine keeps its leaves. Hope you’re having a lovely week so far 🌺🌺
Your garden is looking lovely Jamette, I also bought a star Jasmine at the weekend I seen them in my local garden center last year on an arch it had completely covered the arch and the scent was amazing but they had sold out of the plants probably because of the one on display looking and smelling so amazing any way I couldn't believe my luck when I seen one at the weekend now I'm not sure where to put it there is space on my garage with morning sun for quite a bit of the day and a space on the wall at the back of the house that gets sun afternoon through to evening
Hi Chris, I’ve never had one before either and I’m looking forward to the scent too as I’ve heard it’s something special, so hopefully we can experience that together 😊 both spots sound good for you!! Do let me know how yours gets on. Have a great day 🌺💚
Good morning Janette. Love your new Climbers and can imagine them covered in flowers how gorgeous they will look. Pleased to see Richard back in action and regripping his golf clubs. Happy gardening and looking forward to seeing your new chairs 🧑🌾🌷🌷🌷
Hi Penny and thank you, I’m excited for the climbers 🤞 I don’t think the new chairs are even on Richard’s radar at the moment 😂 but that’s ok, I can sit on my other ones 😂 hope you’re doing fine and enjoying the garden. Love to you 🌺💚
So nice to see you and Richard this morning! I love how unfazed you are when things don’t go quite according to plan. You just step back and re-adjust, and it all comes out beautifully. I was worried that the blue chair would look awkward if you moved it to the end of the planting bed, but putting it on an angle solved that problem, and it looks as if it has always been there. Once again, you work your magic and it all works out looking lovely! (You could have called your channel The Problem-solving Gardner. LOL)! 😁
Oh thank you JC, that’s just very lovely of you 🩵 hope you’re having a great week so far 💚 I quite like the chair where it is now, but that wasn’t my initial intention at all 😂🩵👍
Morning Janette! Both your new climbers will look lovely in their new positions - and I’m sure the olive tree will benefit from the move to deeper soil. Thanks to Richard for his demo of re-gripping golf clubs - I’m going to show this to my son, as he needs to re-grip some of his set! Big kiss to little Lottie 😊
Good morning to you 😊 and thanks for joining me. So glad Richard’s re-gripping might be useful to your son too! I’ve given Lotte a big squeeze from you 😂🌺💚
Hi Janette ! Wonderful to see you and Richard back in the garden. Everything here is way ahead for some reason . I am so glad to be back in the dirt. Have a great day.
Good morning Judy and thanks for joining me 😊 nice to be back in the dirt isn’t it? 🌺
Hello Janette and Richard. Wonderful to see Richard out and about. I like your updates. You are brave for keeping those big climbers. I probably would not have kept them for fear of them getting too big and out of control. But did the tag say it would take 10 years to reach its mature size? Not sure why that popped into my head 😂. Take care! ❤❤
Hi Lauren, well as usual I bought plants and did my research after instead of the other way around 😂 yes 10-20 years, until then I’ll try and keep them smaller 👍 and then after that I probably won’t care anyway 😂 hope you have a great week 💚🌺
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener you will have to keep a “note” (or video) for your future self or that gardener you will someday hire to help you 😉 about how to maintain these climbers. ☺️😂
Oh I like the sound of my future gardening help 😂
Sometimes a plant in a nursery pot is so rooted in the pot that it is impossible to get it out. My solution is to take a strong cutter and use it to cut down the pot and pull it apart to release the plant.
Hello there, thanks for watching! I’m assuming you mean the olive tree? That wasn’t in its nursery pot though, it’s a bottomless pot I’d planted it in when I bought it I think 2 years ago, so the roots can grow down into the ground. I got the bottomless pot idea from Bunny Guinness, the garden designer, and all the pots in my borders are bottomless (apart from the big green one in the corner). So that’s why I wasn’t too worried that it had to stay in there. Hope you’re having a great week so far 🌺💚
Hi Jeanette! Your roses look so healthy, what and how often do you fertilize? Enjoy your channel so glad Richard is ok!
Hi there Terri 😊 that particular rose I planted perhaps in 2021 so it’s the 3rd year and it’s true what they say about sleep 1st year, creep 2nd year and leap in the 3rd year because it’s never looked this good before. It has lovely white flowers in June. I did buy actual rose fertiliser last year and did them all for the first time then, but I haven’t done anything this year yet, I should do that. My other roses along the long border didn’t do very well at all last year, but I’m hoping that’s because I moved them all to their new spots so they had a bit of a shock. Fingers crossed they’ll be better this year. Hope you have a great week 🌺💚
Have you tried air pruning pots for ornamental trees? They don’t look nice but work really well. Can be put inside a nicer looking pot to disguise them.
I haven’t actually. I’m hoping, as my olive is in a bottomless pot and the roots can grow into the soil below, it will be fine. I could ask Rich to cut the pot too, but I’m trying not to ask him to do anything too strenuous until he feels a bit better and stronger. Yours is an option though, thanks for that!! 💚🌺
Hi Jeanette , really enjoy your videos. Glad you’re back. I remember admiring your urn water feature and might treat myself this year. Do you know the name of it as I’ve been looking for it online x
Hello there Carol and thank you - so pleased you like it. It’s called the Kelkay Rippling Vase water feature and I’ve just googled and you can find it on quite a few UK websites and eBay UK too. And it’s made of resin so won’t get frost damage or chips and it’s quite lightweight too so shipping shouldn’t cost too much. Do let me know if you get one? Hope you’re having a happy Sunday 🩷🩵
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you Jeanette I will x
Sounds like good decisions. Like the sound of the two together. Roses for the smaller obelisk?
Roses are a good idea, I’ll have a think about that as I’m not sure what to put in that one at the moment. Hope you’re having a great week so far 💚🌺
Janette could I please ask if you can stand up in your victorian greenhouse? I'm considering getting one but all the pictures and photos I've seen of other peoples I carn't tell if you can actually stand inside one! Love you garden videos🌺🌻🌸🌼🪻🌷
Hi there Rachel, you’ll love it, I love mine. Im testing height for you right now … I’m 5’9” and as I’m standing outside it my eyes are level with the entrance, so I have to duck down slightly to stand in, then if I’m standing in the middle I can just about stand up straight. I could stand very straight towards the back where the roof slopes up but I have shelves along the back in mine. You couldn’t swing a cat in here though 😂 it’s more a large coldframe than a proper greenhouse but it’s very decorative and you can definitely put plants in and do things like hardening off seedlings and sowing seeds with heat mats (I have electric points in mine and a little light). I chose it because I just don’t have any space anywhere for anything bigger. I hope that helps you decide 🌺💚
Hi there, Hope you are both well. can you please tell me where you got your mirror door from please. Thanks
Hi there, yes of course, it’s from
www.primrose.co.uk/
I hope that link works. I’ve just looked on their website, they used to have many more styles but I can only see a couple now. But you could try and google “garden illusion gate” and different sites might come up. I’ve had it for over 10 years and it’s still looking good. It’s not actually a mirror, it’s an acrylic sheet.
Good luck! 🩷💚
Thanks so much and I really enjoy watching your content-hope your husband is doing - best wishes Mark
He’s doing really well thank you Mark ☺️
Great job Richard! That was very interesting. 🏌🏻♂️🏌🏼
Hi there again, I’m glad you thought so 😁 I did too 🌺
