Wow Richard was really going for it there ! Haha that was both difficult to watch and hilarious all at the same time I was transfixed to be honest ! Erm... well done I think ?! LoL brilliant tactic Richard, that's the way to never get asked to help prune anything ever again too funny loved it x
Omg Jeanette! I can't breathe! I'm laughing so hard. You stayed so calm whilst Richard was literally yanking the leaves off! 😂😂. I get so upset when the wind moves a plant. If my husband goes near one of them I scream! Very brave Jeanette. Well done Richard for joining in 😂😂
🤣🤣 Davena I’m glad I made you laugh. But do you know what, those Fatsias are just fine and dare I say it they are thriving. Seems they enjoy a bit of tough love 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I finally planted my little one earlier this year it was doing great until todays gales. I need hubby to make a wind breaker as its at the side of the shed and it seems to be a wind trap. I love yours after pruning x
Janette, you and Richard made my morning with this video! Richard developed his own snatch and grab technique to pruning the Fatsia . I really need to add one to my garden. Thanks for the fun video.
Oh my gosh you’re a little treehouse is so cute and your butterflies are beautiful you have a whimsical place to go and sit in that beautiful yellow chair oh my my beautiful garden such a beautiful place to sit down and listen to the Birds singing and watching the butterflies flying around your garden thank you so much for a tidy beautiful garden to enjoy .Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie
Aw thank you Sandy and Debbie, I must say I do love my little treehouse. I think the euonymus may sprout some leaves again so we will see what happens 😍
👏👏great job Richard. Janette omg I was laughing 😂 through most of this video. In the end though it came out great. I was wincing when Richard was snapping the stems off at first, “The Angry Gardener” love that🤩
Oh Elizabeth thank you. I was expecting some negative comments from this video I have to say, but I’m glad that so far it has just made everyone laugh 🤣 the Fatsias will be just fine but I’m not going to let him hold my secateurs 🤣😍
Oh wow your garden is BURSTING with JOY!!! I planted a Fatsia because I loved yours so much. They grow SO FAST!!! Another beautiful video my sweet friend. Hi Richard! (He's so funny) I think we are all coming to love him too. : )
Hi Janette! You are so calm, I couldn't help but smile every time you said "Be a little bit gentle Richard" haha 😀 I do love when Richard makes an appearance in your videos though! Hope you have a wonderful week! -Cara
Oh my gosh everything looks so pretty after being trimmed thank you so much for sharing you do such a beautiful job in your garden always love watching what you have to share
Oh my gosh thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden with us really enjoyed the video your garden is just beautiful so full of color structure and variety thank you so much for sharing it all with us hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie you did a great job on this video really enjoyed it. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie always love a good gardening video
So lucky to have such a loving husband that’s here working hand in hand with you keeping this beautiful garden looking beautiful thank you so much for sharing my dear friend
As usual l was cracked up laughing. Richard alone could be responsible for deforestation in England. Cut my leaves off with snips as they are quite tough. I have been tree forming my Fatsia which is in a pot on the Patio. Love your butterfly and bug corner, l'm being cheeky but what is the significance of the long pole and life ring in that area?
Hi Penny! Thank you for sending me pictures of your beautiful Fatsia. The long pole 😆 well, that is to prop up the middle of my washing line 😊 and the lifebuoy, well that was just from a shop in Leigh on Sea by the coast and has absolutely so significance whatsoever, I forget it’s there 🤣😍
Lol!! Too funny! Richard reminds me of my bf when i ask him to help me with something!😂😂😂 They do it cuz they love us and they just wanna hurry and get it done. Lol, i thought Richard was gonna rip that tree top off. 😂You need to do more videos together. Ty!!!
Hello and 😊 thank you!! I must tell you that a couple of years on from this video and both my Fatsias are still thriving - they’re such tough plants, I love them 😊 and I now have a few Spiders Web Fatsias too which are very pretty. I have one cutting! Good luck with yours and thank you so much for joining us today ☀️😊💜
It's all looking beautiful, Jeanette! You said angry gardener when I was thinking Aggressive Gardener. Anyhow, an interesting and entertaining video! Do you generally add a few annuals in summeras well? My perrenials seem to be later bloomers and I hate waiting too long for color.
Hi there Esther, thank you, yes Aggressive, that is very appropriate 😊 I do usually plant annuals too. The seeds I sowed in March were supposed to be my annual display, but the slugs ate all the seedlings I planted within days 😆 so annoying. I will go and buy some annuals now. 😍
Thank you for showing this. I have a large fatsia in a pot. I’ve never thought of tree pruning it! I’m going to do it but promise I will be a bit gentler than Rich 😂
Oh Sue I’m so glad to have given you a great idea. I’ve just posted an update on how they look one week later on both my Facebook and/or Instagram pages if you want to have a look. But good luck, I love them in tree form 😍 I’d love to know how you get on.
😂😂 yes Kord, and this was about 2 years ago I believe and I’ve never let him prune since 😂 mind you, the Fatsias are still absolutely fine 👍 hope you’re having a great weekend 💚
I giggled all through . Richard has a more aggressive approach to trimming 🥴🫣but wonderful viewing . Love the tree wish we could grow them in WV . Oh goodness Janette he is learning😏
🤣🤣 he’s not going near anything tender that’s for sure. They’re as tough as boots though so I know they’ll be just fine. As you said in your video Teresa, isn’t June wonderful!! 😊
This is so funny! It's not often I laugh this much while watching utube!!😂 Hope your still married until next time... poor Richard wouldn't have anywhere to go!!🤣
Hello there and thanks for watching. I can’t take any credit for the multistems on that Fatsia, to be honest I have had that plant maybe 10 years so I can’t remember if it started out like that, or grew into two at some point! So sorry I can’t help you with that!! Hope you’re having a great weekend though (pouring with rain here at the moment) ♥️
Richard, you just lost your job!! lol He is mad at someone!! lol At least he's not the Grumpy Gardner! He's smiling because its over!! So funny. Your garden is beautiful!
I’ve only just started watching (a few videos ago). You guys crack me up!!! 🤣🤣🤣 That was so funny! Loved it!!! Encore!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Both entertaining whilst I learnt something new. I’m going to do that with mine once I’ve found the perfect spot for them (a year & some later still in there pots) 🙈😂 Have a great day. It’s going to be another scorcher ☀️🪴
Hello Dee and thank you so much for watching … it’s so nice to have a new gardening friend 🌸 and glad we made you smile 😊 Fatsias are brilliant plants aren’t they? Very forgiving, fortunately 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener aww bless you. Thanks for taking time out to respond to my message. I absolutely love your garden. It’s beautiful.

I’ll be an avid watcher of your videos. Thanks again and enjoy the fab weather we’re having atm 😊☀️🪴
Oh that’s so nice of you. The fences need a touch up, I have the paint but it’s one of those laborious jobs that once you start you have to finish. So I am not looking forward to doing it all again 🤣 thanks for watching my videos 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener 😆 you’ll get to it at some point I’m sure. Mine need doing. New fences so…. Today would be perfect! But alas I have to go into work… Have an amazing day and weekend ahead 🪴☀️🥵
Oh Bless you Jeanette but you have your hands full with Richard. Please, please don't leave Richard alone with that other japonica, he doesn't have your lovely calm and sweet nature X 😀
Richard has done some really lovely things, your little birdhouse, ladybirds and butterflies. I love watching your videos and this one in particular was just so funny 🤣🤣 Looking forward to your next one Jeanette X X 😀
That’s tree reminds me a tree we had back home , but what we had there it was self cleaning, and as the leaf died the trunk was getting taller and taller , almost like a palm tree . By the way you guys are a good couple. 😊
😂 Sara thank you and glad to make you smile today. This was perhaps 2 years ago and Rich has not pruned anything in my garden since 😂 however … I am pleased to report that both Fatsias are still alive and doing tremendously well despite their shock treatment 😂🌺💚
Oh my word, I think Richard hurts as much as the Fatsia after that first "prune". They look so nice, I like the tree form as well, just hope they aren't too stressed out after that ordeal 😊
I kept yelling to Rich: STOP STOP you are going to break the top off. Then: Janette, STOP him for the love of God STOP him! The Angry Gardener - I concur!!
Yes, exactly Deborah. I didn’t mind that he was tanking the fronds off, but the way the tree was shaking was worrying. They’re so strong though Fatsias, they’ll be fine 😊 I won’t let him touch my roses though 🤣😍
Hello Una, I thought “what on earth is Una going to think? She will be totally horrified!” - we both send you our apologies 🤣🤣 PS Fatsias are fine, tough old boots, promise not to let him touch anything else 😊
You two make a good team of enthusiastic gardeners!😂. Richard didn’t have to go to the gym to get a work out He might have been taking out his frustrations on the Japonica instead of enjoying more of his morning tea but you are making a gardener out of him! Your Japonica looks delightful. I enjoy the tropical look as well!😎💕🌴🌴
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener they are tough plants true enough. Lol my dog repeatedly dogs at the base of mine. He's a Belgian shepherd so a big boy... And a naughty one. 🤣
Hello!!! There might be an odd little bit of growth down the bottom of the stem but I can pull that off. Next Spring the new leaves will grow out the top, just like they did here, and I’ll pull this year’s off. It’s going to get taller and taller eventually but I like that look. So easy to look after 🥰
😊 so you have a funny husband too Nancy 😂 they make us smile don’t they? But brutal with the gardening though but the plants didn’t seem to mind one bit 😊 happy weekend to you 🥰
Yes, a lot of times I think why did I ask? I don’t think we have that Fatsia here in Canada. I’m a new gardener at the experimental stage. My husband is making me animals I stuff with moss and grow plants, it’s also topiary.
I’m making standards from branches too, as well as plants to standards. TH-cam is great to learn new things. I learned a lot on your channel, I love your garden. The thing I like most is you, taught me important lessons. 1. Let’s get on with it! 2. If it doesn’t make you happy get rid of it. That’s the hardest on but you are so right. Thank you.
Doesn’t sound too Happy about pruning I was surprised I thought he would enjoy spending time with his beautiful wife. But a little Encouragement by you he did get in and help.
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener good to know. I do like what you have done with it. And thank you, I am doing well 😘🥰. Lots of fun activities at home and in the garden this summer 🥰
Loved it Janette! My Fatsias are not yet big enough but when they are, I will do that. Have you ever tried propagating the Fatsia? Wouldn’t it be great to make new plants out of the prunings?
Hello Pamela, no! I’ve never tried propagating them! I need to look that up, maybe next year, I wonder if it’s possible? I love mine in tree forms, glad you do too because not everyone does. Thanks for watching 😍
Hi Richard tackled that job like a man.Gardening aside. You know when you buy new clothes,socks etc? My husband insists on just ripping off those plastic bits attached to the labels. So rough. Consequently my things have holes in before i wear them😣I now have to grab them out of his hands and i use a scissors to cut them off. I do think it's a 'man thing' because my husband is the same...and a godsend on other things😍🌸💕
Hi guys, I came across the video and found urs and I really liked it. The garden is magnificent. I love the Japonica. It's such a big bloom leaf plant. But O e question I have is that I have a balcony south facing g and I have 2 both in large plant baskets, do u think that's alright for them?
@P.willow hi there and I’d say yes! They are really tough plants and of course they are going to get big, but I have 3 in containers and they’re fine. As long as we remember that containers rely on us to provide all their water, they should be quite happy. And I have Fatsias in shade as well as sun too so they’re very versatile. 😊❤️
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Hi lovelies.. I have one in the sun and one in dappled sun/shade area ido this sometimes to see what the plant really likes if I'm not sure. They both look fine 2wks later and are not showing signs of distress 😊 Thanks soo much for the advice. I'm looking g into getting some bamboo also. I have loved Japanese maple and bamboo for a long time they're my favourite along with fern. My next green friend will hopefully be a lovely big bushy Bamboo to grow nice and tall. Have a lovely week. X
That is such a good test, planting them in different positions to see how they do! And I have to agree with you about bamboo, so many people shy away from them in case they’re invasive don’t they? But not all varieties are. I think they’re beautiful 🤩
He should be using two hands when pruning… I’m worried he will break that thing in half. This is painful to watch. I’m at 4:24. I’ll keep watching. Pray for me 😅
Good morning to you Jordan! This was painful I do agree 😆 do you know though, 2 years on they are both thriving, although I prune them myself now 😊 wishing you a great day 🥰
Hi s jay, yes it was shocking. I think it’s like pulling off a band aid, do it quick and it won’t hurt as much! The Fatsias are fine, although no more pruning for Richard 😊

Oh my, I think you may need to do this on your own! 😮😂
😆😆😆 I haven’t let him do it since! But they’re both still thriving 🙏😆☺️
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener they are tough plants true enough. Lol my dog repeatedly dogs at the base of mine. He's a Belgian shepherd so a big boy... And a naughty one. 🤣
😆😆😆
Bye for now my sweet friends can’t wait to see your husband back in the garden again he’s sort of sounds like my husband leave the gardening to me
Haha I think that’s the best idea 🤣
Janette, will the fatsia continue to grow just from the top, or will leaves still grow below the new growth (on the trunk)?
Hello!!! There might be an odd little bit of growth down the bottom of the stem but I can pull that off. Next Spring the new leaves will grow out the top, just like they did here, and I’ll pull this year’s off. It’s going to get taller and taller eventually but I like that look. So easy to look after 🥰
Oh Richard is so funny. Kind of like my husband.
😊 so you have a funny husband too Nancy 😂 they make us smile don’t they? But brutal with the gardening though but the plants didn’t seem to mind one bit 😊 happy weekend to you 🥰
Yes, a lot of times I think why did I ask? I don’t think we have that Fatsia here in Canada. I’m a new gardener at the experimental stage. My husband is making me animals I stuff with moss and grow plants, it’s also topiary.
Oh you’re in Canada 🇨🇦 isn’t it amazing how we can all so easily connect around the world? Fabulous. Your topiary animals sound wonderful Nancy 😊🥰
I’m making standards from branches too, as well as plants to standards. TH-cam is great to learn new things. I learned a lot on your channel, I love your garden. The thing I like most is you, taught me important lessons. 1. Let’s get on with it! 2. If it doesn’t make you happy get rid of it. That’s the hardest on but you are so right. Thank you.
Aww Nancy thank you. Such lovely comments, just go for it and if it doesn’t work out, at least we’ve learnt something else 🥰
This is hilarious-the angry gardner
🤣🤣 but Debby, a week later and they are looking fabulous!! I put an update on Facebook & Instagram today … they’re alive 🤣🤣
Doesn’t sound too Happy about pruning I was surprised I thought he would enjoy spending time with his beautiful wife. But a little Encouragement by you he did get in and help.
🤣🤣 he loves it really (I think) 😊🤣
Be gentle Richard, demestic coming here 😬😂
😂😂 he was pretty brutal wasnt he? 😆🥰
Oh wow, I thought I might wet myself 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 Lorraine, sorry about that!! 🤣🤣😍
🌿🌿🌿TEAM WORK‼️🌿🌿🌿
Hey Marlise, yes!!! I’m not going to give him any promotions though 🤣😍
Give the guy a break 😂😂
🤣🤣
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener your a hard task master 😬🌻🪴
😂 Richard is a good sport! 😂. The fatsia’s look very nice. Could you leave the old leaves on them or do they eventually dry up and fall off?
Hi Lauren, yes he is fun 😊 you can leave all the leaves on, they don’t shrivel up or fall off, just stay there really. Hope you’re ok 😍
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener good to know. I do like what you have done with it. And thank you, I am doing well 😘🥰. Lots of fun activities at home and in the garden this summer 🥰
That sounds exciting Lauren 😘 have a very fun weekend 😉
Loved it Janette! My Fatsias are not yet big enough but when they are, I will do that. Have you ever tried propagating the Fatsia? Wouldn’t it be great to make new plants out of the prunings?
Hello Pamela, no! I’ve never tried propagating them! I need to look that up, maybe next year, I wonder if it’s possible? I love mine in tree forms, glad you do too because not everyone does. Thanks for watching 😍
Hi
Richard tackled that job like a man.Gardening aside. You know when you buy new clothes,socks etc? My husband insists on just ripping off those plastic bits attached to the labels. So rough. Consequently my things have holes in before i wear them😣I now have to grab them out of his hands and i use a scissors to cut them off. I do think it's a 'man thing' because my husband is the same...and a godsend on other things😍🌸💕
Oh yes!! Sharon, he does that too! Rips them off, how funny our men are 🤣😍
Imagine if Richard was a barber 💈 😂
Heaven forbid!
I think Richard was timing himself to see how fast it can be done.
Haha yes Sharon, I don’t think he has the patience for gardening 🤣🤣😊😍
Ive just bought 2 of these Fatsia Japonica😂
Hello there! I love my Fatsias, and a couple of years on from this video and I’m pleased to say they lived to tell the tale 😂❤️😊
Hi guys, I came across the video and found urs and I really liked it. The garden is magnificent. I love the Japonica. It's such a big bloom leaf plant. But O e question I have is that I have a balcony south facing g and I have 2 both in large plant baskets, do u think that's alright for them?
@P.willow hi there and I’d say yes! They are really tough plants and of course they are going to get big, but I have 3 in containers and they’re fine. As long as we remember that containers rely on us to provide all their water, they should be quite happy. And I have Fatsias in shade as well as sun too so they’re very versatile. 😊❤️
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Hi lovelies.. I have one in the sun and one in dappled sun/shade area ido this sometimes to see what the plant really likes if I'm not sure. They both look fine 2wks later and are not showing signs of distress 😊 Thanks soo much for the advice. I'm looking g into getting some bamboo also. I have loved Japanese maple and bamboo for a long time they're my favourite along with fern. My next green friend will hopefully be a lovely big bushy Bamboo to grow nice and tall. Have a lovely week. X
That is such a good test, planting them in different positions to see how they do! And I have to agree with you about bamboo, so many people shy away from them in case they’re invasive don’t they? But not all varieties are. I think they’re beautiful 🤩
I done that to mine yesterday, must admit I ruined it , it’s in my video 😬😬😬😬😬
Oh dear 😆 I bet you haven’t though Garry, it’s going to grow more. I’m going to go and have a look right now 👍😊🥰
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener it will grow 👍
Rich the angry gardener 😂
Yes! 🤣 don’t let him near anything tender 😆
The money they save on pruning shears, allows them to buy more plants
Thanks for watching Jordan and I promise he doesn’t do and pruning any more!! 😊🩷💚
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener ok good. You need to keep him far far away from all your beautiful plants
He leave me alone I’m resting 😊
🤣🤣🤣
He should be using two hands when pruning… I’m worried he will break that thing in half. This is painful to watch. I’m at 4:24. I’ll keep watching. Pray for me 😅
Good morning to you Jordan! This was painful I do agree 😆 do you know though, 2 years on they are both thriving, although I prune them myself now 😊 wishing you a great day 🥰
Name change for your channel?
The Enthusiastic Gardener and The Grumpy Gardener
Haha yes! You’re so right 😊
Looked as painful as waxing hair! Shocking ! 😱
Hi s jay, yes it was shocking. I think it’s like pulling off a band aid, do it quick and it won’t hurt as much! The Fatsias are fine, although no more pruning for Richard 😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener well thats good to know. Now i know how to tidy mine up.fab video Janette, keep it hoing.
Thank you s jay 😉👍☀️
🤣🤣🤣
Hey Dawn 🤣 thank you 😊
No not the other one too 🫣
😖😆😎
Richard needs to get yanked out of that garden 😂 and a restraining order charged against him for how he’s treating that poor plant
Yes!!! 😆😆
😂
😆😃 glad to make you smile 😊
U lumt😊
Hi Trina, not sure what that means 🤣 but thank you 🤣🤣😁
How to get banned from gardening 🤣🤣
🤣🤣 yes 😊😊😊
Divorce him immediately...!!!))
🤣🤣🤣
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener ...and saying seriously, you have one of the most beautiful private gardens I've ever seen, respect you !!!
Oh my goodness, you have made my day LedStar, thank you 🙏🥰 I kill a lot of things too though 🤣🤣🥰
