Wonderful! It's made a big difference to ours. We used bamboo stakes and string in the past... not bad... but in these coastal winds, they often didn't survive late in the season.
Just found your channel and absolutely fell in love with the garden- also appreciate all the seed saving/perennial love 💕 your videos will be so much fun to watch for spring inspiration while the snow falls over here in Vermont!
Thanks for the video. I will be patiently waiting for your next video. Also i did not cut everything down in my garden because of your recommendations . Can't wait for spring.
They take work (for us, anyway) at the beginning as we have to pre-pot them and grow them inside. But once they're outdoors finally, they are really easy and bloom for months until frost :)
Hi to you both Thanks for all the wonderful videos this year. I'm very pleased I found your channel. I would like to wish you both a very Happy Christmas & Best Wishes for 2025. I look forward to more advice which will help me continue to create my garden space into something special ❤
Thank you so much for being with us this season! Hope you and yours have a very wonderful holiday, too! We'll see you (for winter sowing) soon :) and in the garden next spring.
Ohh dear gardening friends, it's the greenest black I've ever seen 😂 Your garden, as frozen as is seems, still holds the structure and beauty of the many shapes and forms , so carefully planted together. Good idea you left them to dry . Happy winter 🤩🌷🌷🌷 Your friend, M.m
I understand your reasons for keeping all the sleeping perennials structure, but I prefer the clean look, so I would have a field day chopping all that growth back. It helps me plan what I am going to put in come spring, it makes it easier to slip in some bulbs, reduces hiding spots for pests and I just find it therapeutic. Great to see content again, I was just thinking a few days ago that it had been ages since I saw you and I wondered how your garden would be looking now it is time to hibernate. Enjoy the holidays!
That makes complete sense too 🤓. We do cut back for where we put bulbs in - otherwise we just leave it. There is a lot for the clean look tho! We’ll cut back at the end of winter - or before if we just get too itchy to get out there 😄 Hope you’re having a great weekend!
It my zone 5 here in 🇨🇦Canada, I am still looking at my two flowering potato trees that are in containers, which I had to mix with my seasonal greens getting ready for the holidays ! My beautiful blue annual salvias are still standing straight . Unfortunately, even though the calibrachoa and diamond Frost euphorbia were still blooming I had to pull them out as I know snow flurries are soon upon us.I needed to put together my seasonal earns at the front of my house. I took cuttings as I usually do , of the Mona Lavender plectranthus, which is also still flowering!
It all sounds so great tho! We understand having to pull things even tho they still have a few days left - but cuttings are always a great idea 💚. You have so much still flowering! A sign of a very healthy garden 🥰. Thanks for sharing!
I just love your garden I love the knowledge that you have in gardening I haven't been gardening too long I became 75% disabled but my garden is everything it gives me the joy of the living plants and how beautiful they are. I love the idea about the tape can I use that on planted flowers also seems like I always lose my little tag when I stick it in the ground.? Thank you for sharing great job guys.
We'd lose ours too! That's where we got the tape idea from. haha And it's wonderful that you can find joy in the garden, even with the challenges that your situation gives you... such a blessing! Hope you have a wonderful holiday soon. Thanks again for commenting on our video :)
Lovely shot of your garden under the snow. It's so nice when it's undisturbed like that. It snowed here last week too and I could see the little prints where the birds had been. When my brother and I were little we'd always make a snowman but I never see the children around here doing that. Those Dahlia tubers were impressive. Amazing what's going on under the soil. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas too and hopefully see you next year. Thanks for all the filming and tips.
Thank you for always being so kind and encouraging to us, Wendy! It really does mean a lot :) We hope you have a very very Happy Christmas too! God Jul as we say in Denmark! And a happy new year.
The Dahlia looks like Sweet Potato. Wow, the size of it is great! Loved your fall garden. Happy holidays to all. Look forward to viewing your videos whenever you post.
Hi Long time no see. I love you guys. So pleasant and funny. Yes the UK has storm Bert at present. Some areas have suffered more than others. Love your gardening nohow.💞🙃🙃💯
@@perennial-garden Yes! We got some snow here in Zurich a couple of days ago (it's mostly all melted now), and as for our garden in the Black Forest, it's already covered in deep snow! : O Hope my rosemaries will be OK, I planted them out there this fall after they got too big for my balcony. Fingers crossed! Are you looking forward to getting snow up there?
@@brocktoon8 We had a lot this past week... now rain and it's all gone :) Hopefully we'll get some more at Christmas. Here on the coast, it's really hit and miss... north Denmark will get plenty tho. haha -- so our friends can just send us photos of their gardens in the snow.
Love your garden and you both of course. I'm in US zone 7 and will be getting our 1st freeze this Thanksgiving so your video was just at the right time for digging my dahlia (only have 2) but will be trying the seed germination. Happy Holidays!!
Your garden still looks so beautiful this time of year. So inspiring! Strangely no killing frost yet here (Louisville KY, zone 7A)-I actually picked a few dahlias yesterday. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for watching and commenting 💚. That is odd for your zone right? I figured it got a lot colder there earlier. We’re blessed to be on the coast - more inland has had minus temps for a lot longer than us 🤓 Happy holidays to you! And a happy Thanksgiving this week 🧡
Hello again, In your next video, would you please update on the Liatris that you started and set in the glass house? I believe you collected the seeds then planted them. Do you expect anything to happen soon or will they have activity later in the spring. Just curious what you are expecting. Thanks
That's a great idea! We'll winter sow them... so that will be in January, right after the new year starts. That will give them plenty of time to take the cold and then sprout come spring :)
@perennial-garden oh thank you. I have some bush versions. My winter interest at the moment is a callicarpa, pyracanthas of three different coloured berries, winter jasmine with yellow flowers. And soon,the contorted hazel tree with it's catkins👍🌟💯
@@77sun222 We call that hazel a 'troll tree' here in Denmark :) I guess because it looks like a troll would have made it? We use pieces of it inside at Christmas every year, too -- over our dining table with lights and ornaments on it :)
Well, let me just say that today I picked up a packet of purple blue giant allium seeds. I had to plant them three different ways. Some people said, grow them under the lights. Some people said, just throw them out in the ground in the cool weather. And yet others said once they are planted place the container in the refrigerator for a month.
My Dahlias are in the winter greenhouse. With no love or a good preperation. I test what they really want for the winter. I was so sad about the Dahlias because of the snails this year. If they dies.... ok. No more trouble next year. If they alive i try some other things against the slugs and snails
I’m in 8b . Do think my tubers would be ok in my unheated garage ? Last year i had them in my flat staircase but they take up a lot of room there. I love my dahlias and dont want them to die!! Donald
Great question, Donald. I think they’ll be very fine there. As long as they can stay dry and somewhat cool, they’ll be good. We keep ours in our unheated shed, wrapped in newspaper to keep them dry.
I am new to your channel and you have a lovely lovely garden. I am curious to know if you have a drip irrigation system for your plants and flowers. I don’t seem to see one and if you don’t have one how do you water your whole garden? Thanking you in advance.
We don’t have one, you’re right. It’s very wet and rainy here in Denmark… so we’re blessed to not have to water often at all. When we do, we use rain water we collected and if that’s out, we use water from the hose.
Oh you just saved my dahlia from experiencing falling next season, by sharing the way I can keep them safe in windy weather! Thanks! 🤩
Wonderful! It's made a big difference to ours. We used bamboo stakes and string in the past... not bad... but in these coastal winds, they often didn't survive late in the season.
Forgot to say "Merry Christmas" It sure is coming soon! Love to you both.
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas to you and yours, too! (God Jul as we say here in Denmark :) )

Thanks so much! 😊 We’re so glad you found us 💚💚
Just a sugestion,if there's Christmas decor.up around town maybe a walk around to show us.Have a Blessed New Year ❤❤❤
That is a great idea! And our little village does a lot for Christmas -- very cozy and very Danish :)
Looking forward to your videos after Christmas.
Thanks so much 💚. Happy Holidays to you from us 🎄❤️
Merry Christmas! Looking forward to watching you in the New Year
Same to you! Looking forward to showing more next spring/summer :)
Happy Holidays!
Same to you! Hope you have a great holiday season coming up :)
Thanks for the video. I will be patiently waiting for your next video. Also i did not cut everything down in my garden because of your recommendations . Can't wait for spring.
Thanks for watching this year! And we can't wait to come back with more in the spring. Happy Holidays... hope you and yours have a great new year :)
Dahlias are one of those flowers I love to see in other people's gardens. Just seems like a whole lotta extra work.
They take work (for us, anyway) at the beginning as we have to pre-pot them and grow them inside. But once they're outdoors finally, they are really easy and bloom for months until frost :)

Your friend,
M.m
hahaha-- it's a dark green then. but black compared to the bright green :) Hope you have a great holiday season, too!
We had snow last week too! It's magical seeing the garden all white. We did our dahlias a few weeks back, thanks for the video guys 🙂💚
Hopefully we'll get some more snow before Christmas... but the manageable kind :)
Welcome back, its so long since we saw you. Could you show us how you split your dahlias in spring. Thank you😊
Thanks for watching! And we sure will -- we're giving these to cemetery garden to grow (but we'll divide them beforehand so they get more :) )

Thanks for watching this year! Merry Christmas to you, too!
What am I doing? Watching the 🎉AMAZING🎉 Girls Aloud 2024 Concert at the O 2, London. It's on TV. Perfect ❤❤
love that! What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon :)

May I ask what that tree with orange berries is called? Another stunner in the winter 🤩
We inherited it when we moved in... but we love it :). It's a Cotoneaster lacteus -- late cotoneaster is the common name.

@@perennial-garden Very apt name. So easy to grow too. I don't mind cutting pieces of it. You can't spoil the shape of it🤩💯💞

Some people said, just throw them out in the ground in the cool weather. And yet others said once they are planted place the container in the refrigerator for a month.
They will be so pretty when they do grow tho! Depending on the variety, that cold period will be helpful.
