Absolutely the best advice in digestible bites for plant buying I've ever heard! Brilliant. I'd also add to be sure to read the plant tag carefully (here in the US). Thank you 💚
I could tell by the wind blowing your hair, it was a very windy day, BUT I didn't hear any wind from your mics.! Brilliant! I watch a horse channel and every time it's windy outside, we're unable to hear or understand what is being said, so they do voiceovers. I suspect the fuzzy bit on your mics answered the wind problem. I love learning more and more from your channel and guests. I love foxglove but fail to grow it. Thank you!!
Thank you, yes, it's the fuzzy bit on the mics and I also try some sound editing, which can be a bit complicated as I'm not particularly technology minded!
Good morning Alexander, so nice to see you again, a pity about the wind almost a good day to fly a kite!! So enjoyed Rosy's practical approach to the placing of plants. If you do plant that lovely tangerine and mauve together, it always makes a beautiful show. Today I would like to plant some bulbs for a lovely spring show, I hope they will do well, sometimes your plants can be disappointing with no fault from yourself. Our winter is now in full swing, fortunately we have clear skies and sunny days. As always thank you for a lovely garden talk, and yes, you are very encouraging regardless of the seasons we are in. Do take care, keep snug and carry on gardening. Many blessings, kind regards.
It's so exciting to arrive at the plant store, with all the beautiful colors and everything looking perfect! I just want to load up my cart! Sometimes I put things in, and after thinking about it (mostly the cost!!), I put them back, lol. Rosie has great knowledge, and as always your questions stimulate excellent responses. I also look for multiple plants in the same pot; you might get three tomato plants instead of one. Due to the hotter micro-climate, clay soil, and rocks at my *new* home, I've continued using containers as I did at my old house (the back garden was very small and mostly taken up by a wooden deck). We also have gophers that keep coming back. I have full size olive trees , roses, lavender, bulbs, etc. in containers. If the larger plant is well established and will tolerate it (and they have similar watering requirements), I'll add something like alyssum, lobelia, poppies, etc. to grow in the same pot.
Sadly many garden centres don't have staff around to chat to and ask questions or even help with heavy bags of mulch, compost. I searched for help and found no-one on different days too. Nice garden centres , nice plants, invisable staff.
I must say lve never commented on your videos, but lve learnt a lot from you Alexandra, thank you, lve taken a big challenge of designing my garden, its hard but lm enjoying it❤
Rosie says buy what you like. My problem is that I absolutely adore all plants, ha ha. My garden is planted much too closely bot an inch of space. I really should allow more space between my plants- forever having to chop bits off to allow the weaker neighbouring plant more space. Alstromeria has taken over an area , such a bully, but i find ity hard to cut back as it looks so pretty, so i usually allow it to flower first and then yank it out, which is a bit late for the health of its' neighbours. Thank you for a great Vlog :-)
Good to hear this excellent advice, it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the choices at the plant nursery. I hope you'll give another live chat soon, they are fun and your husband is great reading the questions behind the camera, very like Geoffrey Palmer, it works well 😊
I love Rosy's channel. Her combination of supreme practicality and enthusiasm for beautiful plants is right up my street [or rather, down my garden path].
Wish I had seen this at the beginning of spring. I bought x2 grasses in Feb/ March at £15 each, from a well known garden centre.. Both looked after, but both looking dead. Still only dry stumpy stems, no sign of regrowth. If I'd seen this before, I'd have invested my money in something more healthy 😏
Great video. I have also wondered if I should try somethings in containers before planting a small plant in the ground and its roots are not strong enough yet to compete with what is around them.
Ask the people at the nursery and then TAKE THEIR ADVICE. I used to volunteer at nurseries helping people select roses. They all said they wanted something easy to take care of and I pointed them to shrub roses. They all left with tender, finicky hybrid teas. 🙄
In dryer climates, as well as shady or sunny need to ĺnow the irrigation or not?? Where i live we have no need for irrigation, low, mod, lots of water needed!!
Rosy Hardy just exudes plant knowledge . Thank you for this . Back to basics but always worth listening to her sage advice.
Love Rosy Hardy. Her advice is always good. So glad to see this collaboration.
She has a really good video on hardy geraniums

Thank you! and good point.
I do love the way Rosie puts plants together…lupine sand alliums look divine! You get the best interviews.

Rosie Hardy is in my mind the best at gardening advice for the UK
She really is!

I agree - it's why I always say 'independent nurseries' as well, but you may not have any near you.
Those geums are just 😍. Especially with a blue Salvia or Nepeta. Gorgeous.
I love that geum too
A masterclass in ten minutes!!!
So incredibly helpful as I embark on buying plants for my first garden - thank you

You do a good job on your channel my dear! I always enjoy your interviews
Thank you!
Great vid. Great info 💕Lol I did exactly that. Planted perennials too close.
But now I just dig them oot and put somewhere else ir in a container
I love you two walking garden plant encyclopaedias, I wish I had your knowledge on what to put what and where. Always a tonic to watch.❤💐🌸🌿
Pull the plant out of the pot and look at the root system
Great advice Rosy! Love both your channels.. such a wealth of knowledge ❤

My, you are up early posting this video. I like the great suggestions on how to combine (color, texture) and space plants. Thank you.
Thank you!
Also good to stagger when the plants bloom for the pollinators! Big problem for bees in some areas with June gap
Yes, that is an interesting point.
Another helpful interview:) Thank you!
Love Rosy💕
Two of my favourite garden influencers in one video 😊 I am so excited- thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you!
Excellent advice all around 🙏
Love. This video. Watch Rosy all the time also
I can really get in trouble at nurseries. Fortunately, my wife appreciates my gardening.
Love your channel.
Thank you!
Excellent advice from Rosy as always.
Very helpful video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Nice plant
Very helpful!
I just got some native Colorado plants and a peony and a jostaberry.
Very informative. Thanks from down under.
Great tips, thank you.

Nice!
Thank you ❤
I got to hav it all!
Great video! Does anyone know the name of the plant with orange flower?❤ oh Geum!
Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ probably
Geum Totally Tangerine!
In dryer climates, as well as shady or sunny need to ĺnow the irrigation or not?? Where i live we have no need for irrigation, low, mod, lots of water needed!!
👍👍
The geums!
4:30. What are those white barked trees?
Silver birches.
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden Thank you. They add so much.
Off topic, but am searching without success for a video I believe was yours of a gentleman gardener who gardens almost entirely in containers. Help?
There are a couple you may be thinking of: th-cam.com/video/ABuhSJ-45-s/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/yfnzPsEWuIE/w-d-xo.html
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden Thank you so much! I'll check them out.
Just filled a huge pot with sand a grit for my herbs ffs 😂
