Plantsmans Diaries Monthly...April 24

- This is a little update to follow 'Last Orders'.....Rather than closing time I thought I might do a monthly magazine type video each month....garden update, bit of observation of a changing world...bit of countryside and a bit of tips and propagation......simple stuff just done in my own way......I cant copy all the smily people and television gardeners. It just doesn't work for me, but there is plenty of that enthusiastic stuff out there if that's your preference,,,,I wont be hurt or offended....I get on me own tits half the time so wouldn't blame you, plus you don't really know what your getting here....depends on my mood when i'm filming anything....I really should script things....but frankly cant be bothered....I cant read, talk and think all at once anymore so what come out comes out...though thinking before talking might be an asset and help me escape the woke PC people who complain and really piss me off.....but lets see how it goes.
i hope all are well and in good health.
Best wishes....Malcolm
🎉 Now, Spring is complete !!! Malcom has returned !!! 🎉 Thank you for your return , your wisdom and humor is really a blessing !!!
Tell that to the trolls Holly! I get some really nasty stuff….apparently I’m a sexist, racist, uncouth pervert who deliberately walks around with his flies down. 😂😂😂…but that aside it is nice to be able to make the occasional video and some people both enjoy and get something from them……they are meant to be entertaining and communicate as I would were you stood beside me in the potting shed. It is when people write and say they enjoy them that makes it worth continuing. I’ll never be mainstream and I’ll never care about it. So thank you and very best wishes….Malcolm
Happy to watch the mucky garden channel anytime you feel like posting. Great to see you back
Very interesting video as usual Malcom, please keep them up. As a relatively young 'old fart' (40) new to gardening, I find them inspirational and chock full of ideas for me to try in my garden.
Thank fuck Malcolm’s back!!!!! 😊😊😊😊🤣
😂😂…..best wishes and see you next month….Malcolm
Never knew I was psychic was thinking about you this morning watching your old videos. Welcome back 👍
Thats odd I was thinking the other day about when Malcom would put out his next video.😊
Thank you Carol (and Kerri)……I knew something was compelling me do these again…very best wishes….Malcolm
So good to see you again!
Yup.. I'm signing up for the grumpy gardeners monthly update. So wonderful to see you back Malcolm and I'm glad you are taking things easy and what you wanna do in your retirement. I won't hold you to the monthly bit either. 😅
Your garden is really looking a picture now :-)
thrilled to see this video this morning, please keep doing them when you can. Regards from a scouse expat canadian who loves your naughty little ways. Be well.
Thank you Pauline…..I hope your well and will continue to enjoy these little monthly updates over spring, summer and into autumn. Best wishes…Malcolm
Glad to see you, now don’t leave again! Welcome back!
You have the most amazing garden. I am so glad I stumbled on to your channel. I look forward to catching up with it and for what you have to come.
Garden looks wonderful Malcolm, what a great collection of plants and trees too. Also retirement has you looking very well 😊 🌳🌿
Thank you…..I still feel knackered though! Best wishes…Malcolm
See you next month Malcolm. Thanks for the video.
I'm thrilled to see there's a new video from you - and I haven't even watched it yet.
Lovely seeing you and your beautiful garden again. Blessings
Thank you for the same today, so happy to see you back. I have my yard about 75 percent due to being in hot southwest we decided to do a beautiful rose and perennial garden. I have learned so much watching you. 😊
Thank you Dragonlily….I hope your well….I will be planting 5 or 6 roses I used to look after as a young boy….purely for nostalgias sake so I’m just expecting them to arrive bare root so will be on May video I guess…..Best wishes….Malcolm
Wow, it was a lot of work, but your garden is looking and sounding so lovely. Thank you for the tour.
Last time I watched you said you wouldn’t be bothering to do anymore garden videos 😳 now I switch the tv on and you pop up again😀 so I’ve rejoined!!! Oh happy days. Great to see you back young Malc.
Hi Malcolm, I love your videos, love the dogs too, I'm just getting into Gardening and just enjoyed your propagation film on Lithium. My mum is an old London Gardener and calls you the Governor so I'll keep watching, looking forward to your next video.
Malcolm, It's about Time!!! Don't ever leave us that long again. I just love all your videos--no matter the content. Your personality makes it worth watching. Do you think you would ever go back and film some at Eggleston and give us a little update on how things are going there?
I'm here for the grumpy gardeners forum, in whatever shape it takes ❤
Yes he’s back
Thankyou for a sharing & Great update Malcolm, your garden is developing very nicely indeed. Pleased to hear you are enjoying your retirement & enjoying the wood turning & dog walking, as well as the garden
Spring is here and now your out of hibernation its grand to see you at it again cheers.
Hello Pegs….V.bonariensis is really a short term perennial, it can get straggly, that is its nature, long rangy leggy thing but does occasionally seed itself. You can dig them out and either put somewhere else or just pot them up and grow on…..one of the better ways is to take a few cuttings each year….stem cuttings are easy, and along with osteospermum one of the easiest of plants to root……I will do a section of a video in the next month or two to show you how….really easy to do and gives you some insurance to keep your plant going year after year….you can save seed but it’s a fart on in my personal opinion. Take care and very best wishes…..Malcolm
Thank you for that prospective bit of instruction on VB! Was just thinking of you this week and wishing I could drive up for a visit. But a bit far from San Francisco Bay. So the wings of the internet will have to do. Great to have you back, along with my Clematis blooms.
Malcom, I like your garden; its more like a plant collection than a landscaped "garden". Lots of interesting and uncommon plants!
Great to see your videos Malcolm such information.
I followed your instructions for Delphinium cuttings..all were excellent.
Please show us more propogation info.
The gardens beautiful ❤x
Good to see you and the doggos back.
This is just great, Malcom. The captions are appreciated as well. I am already anticipating your next installment-Your garden is a place of wonder.
Nice to catch one of your videos. I can't believe how beautiful your garden has become! Thanks for sharing with us.
The prodigal son returns. Today is turning into a good day. Hope you are all well. B
Thank you for the tour. It really is quite beautiful. Makes me a bit embarrassed of my prosaic little plot.
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea Pam….it doesn’t matter how big your garden is, what’s important is that it makes you happy…..in the end that should be the goal and sometimes I feel the gardening media, press and industry along with garden centres make it too complicated and far too expensive. I should do more stuff on making things for no or little money without making a garden look like a scrap yard or rubbish tip…..no pink plastic pots unless that’s your particular thing. Take care and very best wishes…Malcolm
Thank you for the words, Malcolm. I suppose it does make me happy. And then I will live vicariously through yours.
Great to see you back making videos malcolm. Just discovered your channel a couple of months back. Currently watching your older video I. Currently trying to start a small scale nursery here at home your videos have been very interesting. Would you have any advice for somebody starting up a nursery. Thanks very much. William faulkner
Glad you are back. Missed you
Welcome back great to see you again.🎉
Glad your back I enjoy your videos
Good to see you again Malcolm. In 2004 my Pieris Japonica was stuck in a rubbish corner where builders had left rubble; it's now approx. 15 ft. and has been cut back a few times. Now it's taller than the cherry tree, the whole corner a blaze of colour. Thanks for your video.
Are you going to be opening your garden r r charity under the National Gardens Scheme in future years? It is starting to look really amazing after all the structural work you've done over the last couple of years. Really looking forward to your future monthly updates. And such a joy to listen to a plantsman, one who gives the proper botanical names to plants, and actually refers to things like soil type (unlike all those American TH-camrs!)
Loved the story about your Trilliums…and the Flower Pot Men (thank goodness someone knows who they are!). Your garden is looking so beautiful - what a lot of work to get it to where it is now . Thank you Malcolm.
🥳🥳🥳
WELCOME BACK Malcolm
Great to see you back, you tell it how it is no going round the houses like these tv gardeners. Your garden has come on in leaps and bounds and looks lovely.
Yay! Malcom is back! Missed you! ❤ You have done so much work in your garden, just remarkable & striking! Wish my garden looked half as lush & varied as yours. It's inspirational. Thank you!
Yay!! great to see you back, happy and healthy with a beautiful garden full of treasures. Amazing garden you have created. thanks so much for the video. always a treat
How lovely to have a video from you Malcolm. I've always liked it when you go off on a tangent about plants which are either interesting or looking good at the time of filming. Mainly because you go off on knowledgeable and informed tangents and there's always a project large or small! 🙂
One of the things I found really interesting when you had the nursery was when you spoke about varieties of plants which you didn't rate, for various reasons.
The delphiniums I had from you are still doing their thing too.
I will try to do a few more plants like that Patrick, and why I avoid them…..there is often a good reason but occasionally I’m a touch biased, for example I love rose flowers but venomously dislike the plant….however if it has a beautiful scent I can forgive it black spot, rust and bloody thorns…..if it doesn’t then I’m not always so forgiving….though there are exceptions. I am currently mentally regressing and awaiting delivery of 5 roses, varieties I had to look after as a young garden boy….pure nostalgia of course but I’ll introduce them to you next video. Best wishes…Malcolm
Great to have you back. I too loved 'Watch with Mother' and 'Listen with Mother' I remember sitting in front of the radio (4 yesrs old?) and nodding very seriously when asked ""Are you sitting comfortably?". Even today when I pass a particular type of fallen tree I say "Rag! Tag! and Bobtail!" 😂
It all went downhill with bloody Trumpton flowerfairy…….I was very fond of Tales of the riverbank with that Hampster….Hammy I think. Best wishes…Malcolm
Missed you !!!!!
Lovely to see you back & in good health.. Missing Eggleston & rest of the gang, still a pleasure.
Glad you are back Malcolm. Thought you’d given up! I’m 78 and finding the garden harder but will not give up as I love it so much.
Never give up if you can avoid it Marilyn….it gives you something to look forward to…anticipation, hope and appreciation…..but it does get harder as I’m finding out….plus I’ve probably done more than most so can get a touch jaded….but a sunny spring day and a little smile from a primrose puts it all into perspective. Best wishes….malcolm x
I've missed you too. 😘
Malcolm you're back, this is great! Your knowledge and presentation style has been really missed 🤗
Great to have you back. Thanks for posting and giving us something to look forward to in the months ahead.
Such a lovely surprise for an Australian breakfast. Been missing your wit and knowledge. Thanks. Can't wait for next month.
Loved seeing your new video been waiting anxiously! Bless you from Wisconsin USA. Truly love that you share your gardening expertise with us all. ❤️
So glad to see you back Malcolm. Looking forward to your entertaining videos. 😊 your garden is looking great with all your hard work!
Yes 🙌🏼 Monthly, if you can manage it would be wonderful! The old miseries can beggar off if they don’t like your style, us Malcomites aren’t fazed by a few swear words and some non pc musings 🤭 Your garden is looking great, and I shall now watch again on the iPad to see a bit more detail. Good to see you 😀
Thank you Malcom great to see you back and looking well. Love the plaque. You made my day. So funny.
So glad your back. I think most of your fans would agree that we don't mind you repeating your content.
I know your retired but if you still have some capitalist bones left I'd love to buy a small division of the trillium at 28min 23sec
Lovely to see you back Malcolm, as and when you feel like you have something to share, we'll be waiting. Your garden is looking so well established, you've achieved so much in a very short time. I love the trilliums, I don't think I'd have your patience but they are certainly eyecatching.
I was just talking about you, well you and Egglestone actually. I had a memorable visit to see Egglestone in the flesh about 3-4 years ago now, before bloody Covid anyway. I bought two wonderful Verbena bonariensis plants along with some other shrubs, all wonderful strapping plants. Late last year I cut the verbenas down to about 6" [they were about 5' high by then] ready to have them shoot out new growth, but they didn't. I've managed to kill them somehow. The stems did look pretty dead but I thought that was just 'sleeping', however I've found about half a dozen small verbenas growing amongst some pebbles at the base of a big wooden fence just near where the original plants were growing, so I may be able to tease them out so I can place them in the flower bed. I thought they were a tough plant but obviously not as tough as I thought. Is there a special way I should get the new plants out of the gravel to place them in the flower beds? And was I wrong to cut them back? they looked so scraggy and dead, I thought I'd trim them back and have fresh growth. Hope you can advise me, and is it okay to ask questions like this? I will understand if you can't be arsed to have to reply to people. Cheers Malcolm, You're looking very well, reirement is obviously suiting you.

Great to see you back Molcolm...the garden is looking good, l live in the Midlands and everything seems to be a fortnight to three weeks early. And there is a promise of a bumper fruit harvest judging by all the blossom.
Let’s hope we don’t get late frosts maudie….not much of a winter so far….though I’m never sure that’s such a good thing. Best wishes….Malcolm
Giardino bellissimo e colorato. Un vero Maestro giardiniere! I tuoi video ci mancavano! 🍀
Great video malcolm ,garden looks brilliant,have you still got your allotment
First time seeing your show I'm from well I do memorial Park in New Kensington PA and I have 30 gardens out there flower gardens and I have a hard time with trillium trillium was trying to get them going so I can find out your tricks it would be nice sorry my phone keeps going off so talk to you later then okay bye
Hi from Scotland ,hi malcom great to see how your fantastic garden has grown all that hard work paid off you must be so proud of yourself ,malcome when I was a child my mum used to do the same with rhubarb and sugar it was a somthing all the kids used to get I love rhubarb but I could not dip it in sugar thank you for sharing this vidio I look forward to the next one ,I do miss the vidios from Eccleston Hall cheers till next time anne from Scotland
And there’s me thinking it was a Paisley or Isle of Mull thing Anne……we sort of moved between the two…..my grandparents were very thrifty…..tight as the proverbial ducks arse……but they lived through very hard times crofting between the wars and often went hungry, something I’ve never had to do. So I try to understand but I can’t really….I just remember my grandfather always ate with his arm around his plate as if protecting it. He was a miserable old sod though all the same. Anyway, I hope you’re keeping well……Best wishes….Malcolm
Great Stuff ! Welcome back. Good to see you Malcolm and your garden. I have just sown some more veg so please how is your allotment ? Cheers, Brian from Sussex.
No….I had some medical issues Brian so was unable to do more stuff than I’m doing. I miss Sussex immensely. Bs]est wishes…Malcolm
Always fun and very informative. Enjoying from Oregon.
Oh my f*ck! Hes back! You taught me so much in your previous videos and im still learning from this one. Maples in sun? Every day is a school day when malcum is on you tube. I bought 2 acers for pots but was on the understanding they couldnt tolerate sun? Yours are bloody beautiful!
Not all Maples need shade Dave…..there are some that like full sun. In the next video I will recommend a book that anyone who likes maples should get hold of. Best wishes….Malcolm
@plantsmanscorner128 thank you. I'll look forward to the next video Best wishes davena (usually only men swear I guess haha. My name throws everyone)
@@davenadainton4209I’m sorry Davena…..I thought it was one of those Dave and Dainton type addresses. But one closer inspection I can see there’s no ‘and’….either that or you can’t spell or worse still Australian…..!😂
@@plantsmanscorner128 hilarious! Lol
Good to have you back me old tulip.
Just found your vlogs .. brilliant .. send those bloody pigeons to me in Tasmania .. oh how I miss that sound of my garden in England .. your garden is stunning 😍
They drive me crackers Wendy…..I love wildlife and every morning we have about 40 wild collared doves waiting to be fed and the blackbirds peck on the kitchen windows and door……it always amazes me how pigeons ever survive as their nest are just a few twigs in a tree, really pathetic attempts, but survive they do….to coo away all bloody day……I put up a dove cot about 25 years ago….no doves in it but were on about the 24th generation of jackdaws who leave shiny stuff on the doorstep along with….and I’m serious….coloured rubber rings for de-tailing lambs (mostly tail attached) and de-bollocking cattle (no bollocks attached thankfully)…best wishes …..Malcolm.
@@plantsmanscorner128 Have been watching so many more of your vlogs. Can’t believe they go back 11 years.. Love your snippets of walk down country lanes.. oh how I miss the English countryside too. Enjoy that garden it is idyllic 🌸🌼🌸
Oh Joy, Malcom is back. Missed you dearly.
Happy you’re back Malcolm
Good to see you again Malcom
Love it.
So nice to see you and pepper
Let the haters hate, sad barstools ...... I bloody love this, next month It is then x
Malcom’s back great news 😊
I've missed you
Can I take cuttings of Rosa lutea? If so please give me some instruction .
Can I take cuttings of rose lutes ? If so how ?
I bought rambling rector for our Vicar ... he thought it was quite humorous luckily. Hows the old pig sty ? did you ever do owt with it?? and have you ever had any dealings with cercidiphyllum japonicum 'boyd's dwarf' ? haven't gor room for a proper one.
keep up the good work and enjoy retirement
I don’t know the plant Nick, sorry…..as for the Pig house…I’ve not done anything as I was a touch unwell for a bit…..however perhaps I should as it’s just sitting there being a receptacle for all the rubbish I have….out of sight out of mind. I just can’t get my head into any inspirational mode regarding the thing. Have to think on it. Best wishes….Malcolm
Since April has rolled around again, maybe u can repeat that propagating of posts in the ground....I've soaked up all your propagating demos and when that one came along I was watching with such EARNEST, til it hit me what day it was, you little shit.......😂
Good.show♥️🇬🇧
