Greetings from Kentucky guys, your garden is looking so beautiful and healthy. I love to leave the finished seedpods of Echinacea to attract birds to my yard. The American Goldfinch birds love the seeds of my Echinacea. Take care and happy Autumn!
You're very welcome Michelle. I look forward each month to doing the tours. We are making the most of the lovely weather we're having and the plants are loving it too.
Great tour. I'm really liking the plants with the dark stems and foliage. I must add some of those plants to my own garden. Thanks for the tip about keeping Rudbeckias watered. I'd heard about this for Rhododendrons and Azaleas but didn't know about the Rudbeckias. Ben's tree is looking good and it's really grown. I remember you getting it. I've had a really busy week in my garden as the weather has been so nice. Hope you both have a lovely weekend and are able to do some gardening. The forecast isn't good but let's hope it's wrong. Take care. xxx
Thanks Wendy. The dark stems and foliage are lovely and make a good contrast to all the green. With the Sedums that purple foliage is striking even before the flowers come out. We had to keep on top of the watering with the rudbeckia after planting because they were put in as large plants and the soil is quite free draining. The tree has grown so much and its only when I looked at an old photo that I realised just how much as I'm used to seeing it everyday. We've been blessed with the nice weather this week and have enjoyed the warmer evenings after work. Have a lovely weekend too xxxx
Thanks very much for yet another crackin' video. Your garden is looking as lovely as always despite the rotten Summer we've just had! Keep them coming! 🙂
Still looking wonderful as ever even though some are going over. The yellow Rudbeckia, I know what you mean about it standing out as I have a small Gaillardia 'Arizona Sun' in a container keeps blooming and blooming stunning red/yellow/black colours. My Scabiosa Black Knight is still flowering and producing new buds. I'm going to save seeds and was going to offer some to you both for free but never know if they've been cross pollinated 🤔 Offer is there if you want, no issue if you don't 👍 Grasses are looking wonderful too, tried to get my father to like them but he said he will only ever have a lawn 😒 My Stipa Tenn is seeding everywhere 👀 The Miscanthus sinensis 'Kleine Silberspinne' I bought last month or so is turning into feathery plumes and looking gorgeous, I bought another 2 😎 1 was half price, might divide it and put it in the memorial garden at work. Thank you for giving us a tour update and hope you both enjoy your week and weekend, happy gardening! 😀👍
Thanks so much, we try and grow lots of later flowering plants so we have something to enjoy as the autumn comes in. Yes, lots of yellow is so uplifting, your Arizona Sun sounds perfect. I think Paul bought some of the black knight seeds to try next year, but thanks for the offer. Grasses are not for everyone, I never used to like them but now I can appreciate how much they offer. The prices of grasses can be expensive so well done for finding one half price. Have a good weekend too, lets hope the weather stays nice. 😀🌞
Hello, another cracking video! I love your garden. You have those stipa seedlings in your borders. Do you leave them and transplant them from their positions now to new areas in the spring, or can you do it now?
Thanks so much Margaret! The little stipa seedlings can be moved now to new areas and they'll get time to establish before the soil gets cooler. You can also move them in the spring too. Thanks for watching 😊
Guys, I know it’s the wrong time of year to ask but did you do a Chelsea Chop on any of your perennials earlier this year? I have done in previous years but this year I just didn’t get round to it and things like my echinaceas, sedums, rudbeckias and asters have got a bit untidy and needed staking.
We don't usually do the Chelsea chop as we like our plants tall despite having to use stakes. Funily enough though, we struggled with our Aster Little Carlow which was getting eaten but when we moved it to a pot and it re-grew, it was like having the Chelsea chop! It's much smaller and is usually in flower now but an added bonus is that it doesn't need staking 👍
Unfortunately we couldn't keep the slugs off them so they ended up in the green waste bin. We may try again with another variety that has more coarse leaves at some point as we love the flowers.
This channel is so cozy! ❤️
Thank you 😊
Thank you for showing us a beautiful garden in September ❤❤❤
You're very welcome, thanks for watching and take care 😊💚
Beautiful September garden!
Thank you! 😊

That's great James, the birds will thank you for leaving the seeds for them through the autumn and winter. Thanks for watching and happy autumn too 😀🍂
Thank you so very much for this wonderful video, it helped lift me as it seems to never stop raining in Leeds ❤. Just wonderful plants
That's lovely to know, thanks. It's like that here at the moment too, we have to make the most of the dry days when they come 😊
Thank your for sharing all your beautiful flowers❤ ❤❤❤❤
You're very welcome 🙏💛
I've got four pots of haks too, they are great! Love your zinnia/salvia red combo!
We love Hakonechloa and growing them in pots means they 'flop' over the sides and look great. Thanks for watching 👍
Hi, I really enjoyed the tour, the garden still looks beautiful and lots of helpful info, thank you ❤

Thanks so much! It's been another let down but we're having a bit of nice weather at the moment so we're making the most of it.

May i ask where the kniphofia ended up?
