Planting A New Garden Space & A Week Of Garden Updates 🐝🥴🌺
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- Today I am transplanting the contents of lots of my Spring containers out into a new space I’ve created in the garden, after removing a huge mound of Lamium.
But before that, I’d filmed an update every day last week which I thought I’d put into a video montage to share with you all:
Sun - rain
Mon - clearing the Lamium
Tues - dealing with a wasps nest
Weds - repurposing tomato canes
Thurs - ‘Santana’ Rose revival
Fri - Physocarpus ‘Magic Ball’
Sat - Pondwatch!
The plants I am transplanting from the containers are:
Carex ‘Morrowii Ice Dance’
Anemones
Heuchera
Heather
Ivy
Brunnera
Acorus Ogon
Hakonechloa

Janette! I love how you materialized at the start of your video, lol! 😄
I can not imagine temperatures being in the 50s in July! We will reach 97° today, and our humidity is just terrible.
I really love your garden spaces, just beautiful! I appreciate the inspiration you have given me!
Take care and happy gardening! 🌻
Hi there Kay Jane and glad you’re impressed with my editing 😂😎 I know how hot you are all at the moment - we are normally hotter than this by now (this was early morning and I did get hotter and take my coat off 👍) but it’s a weird year for weather isn’t it? So pleased if I’ve given you some inspiration. Stay cool and have a lovely week 😊🧡
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you 😊
Hello my friend , nice updates on your garden . Sorry you got stung by the wasps.
Hi Max, thank you and at least it was me and not Lotte!! Have a really wonderful week my friend 😊🧡
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I know , but i still feel bad . They hurts when you get stung .
Always enjoy looking at your garden Janette you are so fun to watch. Great jazzy music interlude. The hydrangeas are looking marvellous. Thank you for sharing its beautiful.🐞🌻🌱
Good morning Jane and thank you so much indeed!! The hydrangeas are the best they’ve ever been this year! Thanks for watching, glad you liked the music, have a great week 😊🧡
Just love what you did today!
Oh thank you so much Cheryl!! Hope you’re having a lovely start to your week 😊🧡
Absolutely beautiful, yes please to a full garden tour
Hello Cynthia and thanks so much for watching and I’ll definitely do a full tour next Monday! Have a wonderful week 🧡😊
Hi Jeanette, your garden is looking absolutely gorgeous, so much colour and interest. I love the new plant that your friend has just given you, that is definitely on my list of must haves, so thanks for sharing. As always thank you for your fun and informative videos, love them.
Hello Val and thank you so much 🙏 yes the Magic Ball Ninebark is stunning and I’m interested to see how it changes colour throughout the seasons. Hope you’re doing well and I wish you a very good week 🧡😊
Morning Janette 💚 looking great !
Morning Judy and thank you and have a lovely week 🧡😊
So pretty and colourful. Wish I’d been around when you dug out the lamium. I need loads of it.
Hi Vivian, I did plant a bit of it here and there but honestly if you have one clump it’s going to spread in no time for you! Mine did. Hope you have a really great week 🧡😊
Loving all the updates👀💖keep up the good work xx
Thanks Rose Mary, I’m glad you liked the mini updates too. Have a fabulous week 🧡😊

Beautical video. Enjoyed all your plants.;They all look so healthy.:
Hi Sunita, I did lose one of the Heucheras but overall they did look quite well for being squashed together. Thank you - have a happy week! 😊🧡
enjoyed the video, your garden still looks beautiful. wish it was a little cooler here. it's really hot here and not much rain. thank you for sharing. hope you have a great week!!!
Hi there Sonie, I hear how hot it is for everyone right now, makes me feel bad for sitting here with a coat on!! I hope you get some reprieve for a little while at least. Have a wonderful week 😊🧡
For freeeeeeeeeee 😀😀😀😀😀 that's the best type of gardening ..looks great and suits the rest of the garden.
Thanks so much dear Tracie and I hope you’re having a lovely week 😊🧡
Hello Janette,
Wonderful, so lovely, you’ve a very pretty garden, loved watching your montage ~ you made me chuckle with your Fomo star jasmine envy 😆
I like the effect of spray painting your canes, looks like a really cool metal obelisk now 🤩
Happy gardening days 🐾🌸
🧡🐦🦔 🌼🍄 ~ 🪷 🐸🤞🏻~ 🙂
Hi Janet and thanks so much and glad to make you smile too 😂 I do have FOMO star Jasmine envy 😂😂 have a wonderful week 🧡😊
Wonderful. Greetings from Germany 🙋♀️🌸
Hi there Christie, thanks for joining me from Germany 🇩🇪 and hope you’re having a great day 😊🧡
Hi Janette, trust you and Richard are well.
I really enjoyed your quick fired clips , easier for you and an interesting change from your usual single take video. I'm impressed by your editing skills, especially the music interludes.
You made me smile a few times , you are a natural comedian in a quiet way.
Your garden looks lovely, your plant moves are creative and bold.
We visited the RHS flower show at Tatton on Friday, we loved it. The sun helped, the tent flower displays were brilliant. During the day we enjoyed the live music, the various stalls and even listened to a talk on flower arranging! Impressed?
Well we only sat in the talk to escape the sun but ended up enjoying the guest speaker on flower arranging! We bought a woven willow plant which needs planting still.
Our new drive is complete now so replanting etc almost done.
Enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi Steve and it sounds like you had a great time at Tatton, I watched it on Gardeners World on Friday and it looked wonderful. Thanks for your very lovely comments, as always, and glad you liked the short clips too. Glad always to make you smile. Hope you have a fabulous week, glad to hear your driveway is almost complete too!! Take care 🧡😍
Hi Jeanette, I think you should do a talk at the RHS Flower Show, head lining " the enthusiastic garden"?
You could do it, for years you have spoken to all your followers.!
What do you think?
YEITN
It's sunny up here today!
@stephenfoster1818 well, I admire your great faith in me, depends on how much they’d pay me 😂😂😂
Hi Janette, oh my goodness, 12 degrees is very, very cold. It's been cold here too but we're expecting 19 degrees today so I'll be happy to be in the garden. I'm sorry to hear about your adventure with the wasps. They know how to stick up for themselves. How lovely to have a plant nursery in your own garden to call on when you need it. Your new plantings all look great and the pond is a beautiful addition with or without frogs. I'm excited to see some tiny buds on my Jasmine (Polyanthum not Star) which tells me Spring is not too far away. Hope you and Richard have a great week. Much love, Bron xx
Good morning Bron, the wasps now seem to have gone I’m pleased to say. It’s usually far warmer by this time of year but it’s quite pleasant, particularly compared to so many who have such heatwaves to deal with right now so I’m not complaining. Thanks for all your lovely comments and hope you’re having a great week 🧡😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I've been happy for a couple of sunny days but before I know it Summer will be here and I'll be the one complaining because our Summers can be very hot. Just give me Spring and Autumn. I love Spring because of all the new life in the garden but Autumn is the best. 🥰
@bronwyncook4111 I am the same, spring is the best but summer 🥴 and I don’t much like autumn because I have to clear leaves constantly. I do quite like winter when there’s nothing to do 😂😂😊
Beautiful!!!! Your garden is a joy. LOVE it.
Oh thank you so much Bunny, how lovely of you 🧡 wishing you a really great week 😊🧡
Hello Janette, I love the recap from your instagram reels, and of course I don’t mind watching again😊. I’m just so happy that it wasn’t as bad as originally thought that the wasps didn’t have a nest in the compost, better to be safe than sorry, especially for Lotty. Hopefully one day we will see some 🐸. So sweet of Edy, love that. I agree it’s never a waste of time to pot up spring flowers. You gave me a great idea to spray paint my tired bamboo trellises 🙌. And please send me the rain and cool weather my friend🥰🫶, it’s another hot and humid week here in NY🥵🤣
Aww you really are the best Elizabeth!! I’m so glad if I’ve given you a spray painting idea!! I know how hot it is for you all over the pond so I’m so hoping you get done cooler temps and a bit of a reprieve 🙏 you take good care and see you soon my very good friend 😊🧡
Thank you so much sweet Janette🫶. The temps are going to remain this way until at least the end of the week, but I think there’s also raining the forecast and even though it can make it seem hotter it’s great for the garden. Can’t wait to see your new project, and knowing you, it’s going to be amazing 🤩. Enjoy your week my lovely friend.
I love seeing you garden, so pretty!! It is 93 and feels like 100 with humidity today in WV, also with no rain in weeks! It's so dry, I've lost plants but there's next year! Have a great week!! 😊
Goodness me Peggy, all my messages here are just saying the same as you … such heat for everyone. We are normally hotter than this by now but not this year for some reason. I do hope you all get a reprieve as it’s so tiring and exhausting for everyone. You take care of yourself Peggy 🧡😊
So beautiful Janette! Your creativity shines through every nook and cranny of the garden!! So sorry about your stings...I get stung by wasps or bit by fire ants every season. I go into battle mode against them wearing thick socks and gloves, but sometimes I lose. 😵💫
Yes ouch! Had forgotten what it feels like 😊 at least it was me and not little Lotte. Your comments … so lovely of you 🧡 thank you. Hope you’re having a great week so far 🧡😊
Beautiful looking garden and great planting the empty space it looks beautiful. The weather over here in Ireland is the same as you with plenty of rain and highs of 20 degrees celsius. We have only watered the flowerbeds three times so far this year and the pots twice a week. We are lucky we don't have the temperatures they are getting in parts of Europe and the United States.
Thank you so much for watching Nicholas, and you are so right how fortunate we are. I chat to many garden friends here who just cannot even go out into their gardens apart from early morning and it must be so tiring having constant heat all the time, not to mention sad to see the gardens struggling. So I’m never complaining that it rains here. Past 2 days it has been hotter here and I’ve been hand watering. Hope you’re having a lovely Saturday evening 😊🧡
Absolutely lovely. Thoroughly enjoy your videos. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Hi Allen and thank you so much for your lovely comment - have a wonderful week 😊🧡
Hi Janette. Great video. The garden looks great. So sorry you were stung by a wasp. I have large flower pots with evergreens flanking my front door and this year a wasp called a yellow jacket (they make nests in the ground) decided to make a nest in one of my pots. We have some painters working on the outside of the house near the pots and they sprayed a bug killer and water on them. I hope no one got stung. I hope your wasp problem goes away too. Take care!
Hi Lauren, I’ve heard of yellow jackets but didn’t realise they live in the ground ! The wasps seem to have moved on now fortunately 👍 hope they don’t return. Hope you’re having a great week 🧡😊
It’s looking lovely Janette
Hey Iris and thank you so much 🙏🧡😊
Looks beautiful! Thank you
Hello there and thank you so much - hope you have a very lovely week 🧡😊
Lovely video Janette!
Everything is looking so colourful, it’s a real joy to look at
Loved the newly planted area, especially as I have a young magic ball physocarpus that I’m planning to put into a more prominent position- I love how you paired it up with the vibrant grasses around it
I have a few Carex I can ‘borrow’ from other areas for the cause 😂
I’m simply stealing your ideas at this point- I started a heuchera garden after seeing the vibrant colours of yours!
Many thanks- my little secret garden is coming on in leaps and bounds.
I wish I could show you some before and after shots!
Take care and happy gardening!
Ps. I hope the horrid stings have calmed down now😢
Hello Mahmuda and I’m delighted if I’ve given you some planting scheme ideas so ‘borrow and steal’ away 😂 aren’t the Magic Balls beautiful? That was such a lovely gift from my friend. Good luck with your planting and have a really lovely week 😊🧡
Hi Janette 😀 I think that activity is one of my favourites in the garden, I really feel happy when I'm moving around plants or splitting them and using them somewhere else, that's what I call playing and not working and you can achieve that repetition which unifies a garden, you get instant satisfaction and all that for no extra cost ❤. Thanks for sharing 😀
I love that Kim - playing in the garden!! You’re right 😊 hope you’re having a great start to your week 🧡😊
Hi Janette, I was a little late watching this week, as we are on holiday and I couldn't get a signal (only in Ireland). I once had wasps in my compost bin, one of those black bins with a lid. I opened the lid and sprayed fly and wasp killer in. The wasps were not at all happy and chased me to the back door. Luckily I got in the house before they got to me, but I was so frightened!!
The black sprayed bamboo looks great, as does the climbing rose. Nice to have a free space to plant up. I like the Hydrangeas at the back too. Just along to the left you have a lovely orange heuchera, I don't suppose you know the name? Love the new magic ball plant. 😊 Anyway so glad to have caught up with this video. The whole garden is amazing and full of colour and interest. 😊😊😊
Hi Pauline and I hope you’re having a lovely holiday in Ireland 🇮🇪 well I do know the name of the orange Heuchera, it’s called Marmalade and that is one of the best ones I have because it’s been in the longest of most of them and its still looking like one of the best I have, so highly recommended. And the new Ninebark is lovely isn’t it? I was wondering whether if I got bins with lids for my compost it would keep the wasps out, but reading your message it seems the answer to that is probably no, if you had them in yours. I think I might abandon the idea of trying to make compost. I’m still trying to decide. Anyway, I guess there are worse problems to have 😂 have a lovely rest of the week and thanks for watching on your holiday 👍😎🧡😊
I still make compost, so don't give up. 😊😊😊
Well done, Janette! ⭐️ You made a lovely job of relocating your plants and your garden is looking fantastic as always. 🌸🌳🌺 Little Lottie is good company for you in the garden and always seems interested in what you’re doing! 🐶 Hope the wasp stings are better now and you have a good week! 😎
Ah yes Fiona, she always pops out to see what’s being moved now! 😂 thanks re the sting, forgot quite how it hurts as last time was when I was a kid! Thanks so much for watching and have a great week 🧡😊
Hello there Janette As usual you have done weii in your garden. I like it very much , I do hope some frogs will appear soon. . I have not tried the ivy wreath yet I keep forgetting to give it a go. Keep well and good gardening it keeps you young and healthy
Hi Olga, you are so right about gardening keeping us young and healthy 😊 the ivy wreaths are just so easy and I think they look quite effective so I hope you give it a go. Not giving up on the frogs yet 🤞🐸 I live in hope! Have a great week 🧡😊
I enjoyed watching you working in the garden - sorry you got bitten though 😢 Your Physocarpus is lovely, I have 2 - Midnight which is a dark red and Dart’s Gold which is a yellow. They have grown into large shrubs so you may find yours may grow too big for that spot. Garden is looking fab! 😊🏴
Hi Pamela and thanks for watching. Your Ninebarks sound lovely!! I can well see how you think it’s going to be too big in that spot, I was thinking exactly the same to be honest. I am running out of space 😂 my other Ninebark near Shady Corner has been in for a few years and is very slow to get bigger so I’m hoping this one might act the same 🤞 yes the stings did hurt 😂 have a lovely week 🧡😊
Hi Janette, looks fab 🎉❤xxx
Hi Helen and thank you so much! Have a wonderful week 🧡😊
Loved your sprayed hoops,beautiful as usual,great job on using what you have,I’ve just got to that stage in my garden stealing little bits here and there ,thank you 💕💕
Hello and thank you, I thought that was a very good idea too. Not sure if the paint will flake off, but we shall see. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful week 🧡😊
Is that Richard playing " Puttin' on the Ritz"? Your garden is beautiful as usual.
Hello there, well it is Puttin’ on the Ritz, but not Richard playing 😂😎 good idea though, get him in the corner playing electric guitar for me while I plant 😁 thanks for watching and have a very lovely week 🧡😊
Hey Janette, I watched this video right after you posted and I’d commented but my baby Jack needed to go out…🐶and then the others did. So I forgot to send/post it but it was a great video. Your new corner with the plants from woodland courtyard look really good in their new home.
Hello!! Well that’s so kind of you to go and in here to comment. You are lovely! Have a great day 🧡😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you. You have a great day as well ☺️💚
Your doing a fabulous job this summer with the garden.My favorite area is the pond and wooden area,so beautiful.Can't believe your wearing a light coat,here in the south of 🇫🇷 we are wearing short sleeves,but the wheather today is cloudy and rainy.Have a wonderful week dear Janette and Richard.❤😊
Hello MJ and thanks so much - those are my favourites areas too 👍 I did get hot and take my coat off 😂 we did have a brief 4 days of warmth and sunshine but now back to clouds and cool weather again. To be honest I don’t mind that at all but many Brits are longing for more of a summer. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful week 😊🧡
I enjoy your video first thing when I get up. I hope your arm feels better from the stings.
Thanks so much Nancy, glad if I brighten your Monday mornings 😊 I hadn’t had a wasp sting since I was a kid and it’s surprising how much it does hurt 🥴 hope you’re having a great start to the week 🧡😊
Love how you repurposed the tomato stakes looks lovely. Yipee for the rose. Frogs may come🙏. The carax looks very nice and very frugal use of plants for new area I agree use what we have divide and enjoy. The area looks like its always been there that nine bark Im going to look for the size would be nice in my area.
Hi Teresa! The Ninebark is truly beautiful, I hope you can find one 🤞 I’m looking forward to seeing its changing colours. I’m still on Frogwatch every day 😂 I
Hope you’re having a wonderful time on the beautiful West Fork … have you been out on the boat lately? Have a lovely week 😊🧡
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I was just telling Reg you were in a coat this morning😜it has been very hot and humid that being on the lake without shade gets uncomfortable so hoping next week with a cool down under heat advisory today yet not as hot as the west we may hit 99 with humidity 37 C .
It’s beautiful blue sky but our grass and plants showing stress. Fortunatly I water from the river at least once weekly rain maybe Wednesday.
Sooo we are out shopping and lunching today day date 🥰💃🏻.
A new challenge this weather change … I will look into more drought tolerant plants 😎🤣. Always stay positive!
Enjoy your day a front will find you 🤞
It’s normally hotter than this here by now but yet weather is acting strange this year. It’s awful though when we see plants struggling to cope, I’ve had to have water (don’t have drip) every night in past years and it gets tedious. Lucky you that you can use the river water, I bet that has lovely nutrients in it? Hope it cools down, have a fabulous date day with Reg 🧡😊
Beautiful as ever..
Good morning Donna. Thank you so much and have a fabulous week 🧡😊
Beautiful garden😊
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Hello there and thank you so much - hope you’re having a great day 😊🧡
Once again, your creativity shines in a new garden vignette that fits in seamlessly with rest of your garden and it didn’t cost a thing. You are such a clever and talented gardener!
Wow JC that’s very kind of you to say. Hope you’re having a wonderful week 🧡😊
Lovely video Janette 🥰🤪
Hi Jasmine and thank you so much, have a happy week 😊🧡
Thank you Janette 💚 wow your garden colours are looking amazing !
I love your reuse what you have attitude x. Have a beautiful week 🕊️ your videos send a lovely sense of calm to all in a slightly crazy world .... Best wishes to you, Richard and dear Lottie 🐾❤️😊
Thank you so much Val, yes gardening can take us away from what I agree is rather a crazy world, at least for a while. Have a wonderful week 🧡😊
Good morning Janette, 'Ouch'! Wasp stings aren't nice at all and unlike bees can sting repeatedly, I hope your wrist is much better now. It is so lovely to see the plants that have been in potted displays arranged in the ground, ready for a second flush as ground cover. Your idea of the painted canes was pure genius, they look great. The roses on the wall have really found their new home and paying dividends, the foliage and flowers both so rich in colour. Everything is looking as beautiful as always. Have a lovely week and I look forward to your next garden tour!
Thank you so much Tony!! I thought my sprayed canes worked out very well, I was most pleased about that 👍 I hadn’t been stung by wasps since I was a kid and you forget how it hurts 🥴 I’m pleased too about having planted all those container plants out into the ground. Seems like they breathe a sigh of relief for that. Hope you have a really great week my friend 🧡😊
Love the crow joining in.Such wonderful birds
That’s Cheryl 😂🧡😊 have a lovely week 🩵
Thanks for the Instagram footage as I don't have it. Lottie was so cute licking your wrist.🥰
I'm so jealous of you out there working in a coat, whereas I am having trouble even stepping out the door 🥵
Thanks for sharing the new space,very cute. Brings me back to when you and Richard planted up those baskets 😜
BTW, was that you on piano in background music 😉
Hello there! Over here, it is usually hotter than this by now but seems like a weird year for weather. I do hear how incredibly you are all suffering with the heat so I really sympathise, it’s very tiring and tedious. Hope you get some relief soon. But no, not me on the piano 🎹 😂 I wish! I haven’t practiced since December 🥴🧡😊
The new planting looks really good. The anemones should spread around quite happily under the other plants.
Hello Mark, thank you! That’s what I was hoping for the Anenomes, it will be good to see how they do again next Spring, I’m excited for that. Hope you’re well and having a great week so far 🧡😊
Oh my! Had no idea you had such cool temps this time of year. That’s a bit cool for me but right now it would feel wonderful! lol
I just went for a visit to celebrate my daughter’s 40th bday in North Carolina mountains…cooler temps…highs in mid 80’s…(that’s probably hot for you. lol)Love the new garden area!
What a great idea for your curved bamboo stakes! I have some of those. I’m going to give it a try.
Janette, you need to go for a frog walkabout with a jar & bring a couple of frogs home. lol
Hope your wasps have “bit the dust” so we say here. Ouch!
Hugs from US (GA)❤
Hello there Lindy, it’s normally hotter by now here but it’s been weird weather this year. Here in the UK it’s illegal to take wild frogs from their natural habitat, they’re protected, so that’s not an option. But you can buy tadpoles from a place I’ve found in Scotland (they breed them there) so I have that to fall back on. Unfortunately I missed the ‘tadpole buying’ season this spring and they were all sold out. Glad you’re going to do the bamboo stakes idea, I think they look really nice black, a bit like wrought iron. Happy Birthday too to your daughter! Take care and have a happy week 😊🧡
@@TheEnthusiasticGardenerI didn’t know that law there about frogs. I guess we have so many around here, living by a lake, that I can’t imagine not having a few frogs around. Exotic frogs are sold here in pet stores but just your everyday brown toads are pretty much everywhere. I don’t think it’s against the law here because there’s men that go froggin (like fishing) around lakes & rivers & take them home & fry the frog legs to eat. 😮
Oh goodness me - heavens above 😂!!! Frogs beware! If I had frogs right now I’d cover their ears up Lindy 😂
Hard to believe that in the middle of July you are outside wearing a coat because it is 52 degrees. In Texas the summers are high 90's and 100's. What a difference between England and Texas in the summer.
Oh yes, it is such a difference, I did feel bad sitting there in my coat when you are all in a heatwave, but it was early morning when I started and I did end up taking it off 😂 we are normally hotter than this by now though, it’s been a weird weather year so far. Hope you’re managing to stay cool 😎 and have a marvellous week 😊🧡
Good morning Janette
What an eventful week. There are always incidents and surprises in gardening. Your garden is spectacular. I love the rose( forgot it's name😢) and the new ninebark. I'll be at the garden centre today looking for it. Yes,I too pay for green waste collection. We have a Permit sticker on the bin and it's collected every fortnight. A necessity for us with a full garden. That wasp attack was awful. Hope the stings are healing. Sunshine today,lucky us🍰☕🍩💞💯
Hi Sharon, yes we have a permit system here too with fortnightly collections, used to be free (or in with our Council Tax) until 2 years ago. Hope you find the Magic Ball Ninebark, it really is lovely. I hadn’t been stung by wasps since I was a kid so forgot how it hurts!! Yes, always incidents abc surprises in gardens 😊 have a lovely week and enjoy your plant shopping today 🧡😊
Goomorning and well done looks beautiful
Good morning Pam, thank you very much and have a wonderful week 🧡😊
last year I had a wasps nest in a pot with a large plant in I left a candle burning 24/7 in the pot it was citronella I also sprayed wasp killer I got stung 4 times glad you have sorted your problem out with them have a nice week
Morning Christine, that’s a good idea with the citronella candle. Does hurt when you get stung doesn’t it? I hadn’t been stung since I was a kid and had forgotten what it was like! Hope you have a lovely week 🧡😊
😻
Good morning to you!! Thanks for watching 😊 and you know what the exciting project I was talking about at the start is!! 😉 be in touch 🧡😊
Hi Janette, sorry you got stung. Your new plantings look great. The ninebark is beautiful. Dont be discouraged im sure your pond will attract wildlife at somw point. Have a wonderful weekend!
Good morning Adra and thank you. I did see a couple of dragonflies (or could have been damsels - I don’t know the difference) circling the garden yesterday so that was exciting! They didn’t go to the pond though. Yes, I’m sure you’re right and I must be patient 😊 hope you have a wonderful week 😊🧡
Your garden is looking so lovely! My state, in the US, has been having such dry weather, and extreme heat. Today's heat index is supposed to hit 110(F). Which I think is around 43(C)? It's taking everything to keep my flowers and veggies alive.
Oh my goodness Colleen I really do feel for you all over there, it’s so difficult trying to keep all the plants going in such heat. I do hope you manage to have a reprieve and get done much needed cooler temps. You take care and have a very happy week 🧡😊
Thank you! Wishing you a very happy week as well!
Hi Janette as usual your garden looks lovely so colourful, I also have a star jasmine I am thinking of repotting but can't remember is it multipurpose or ericaceous compost to use also what do you feed yours? I also have a little climbing arch shape structure similar to what you have it was with a rose when I bought it so great idea thanks😀
Hi Chris, I just used what I had which was normal multipurpose compost, but I’ve just googled and it says they prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soil (mine is more alkaline) so we’d better not add anything acidic. Glad to have given you an idea for planting yours in your arch structure. Have a wonderful week 🧡😊

Hey Werner 👋🙏🧡😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I'm pretty sure I could hear them partying in your hibernaculum 😊
I hear there was an all night rave down there last night Werner 😂🧡😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener 😊
Oh Janette that rainfall is so refreshing! How I long for a good downpour! Sorry to hear about your wasp situation, they can be so downright mean!👿 You did the right thing by overreacting--- it 's pretty scary.
Hi AJ, I did feel pangs of guilt showing you all our rainfall I must admit. I know how hot you all are over there, we are normally hotter by now but the weather is just so weird this year. Hope you stay cool 😎 (well, you are always cool AJ 😊) and yes those wasps are downright mean! Have a great week 🧡😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener 🥵🥵😅
Love the hakenochloa grass, I'm in west London and can never seem to find it. Can I ask where you got yours from please?
Hi there and thanks for watching! I bought mine from my local nursery which is called Hillcrest Nursery along the A128 at Herongate which is just outside Brentwood, Essex. I didn’t realise they might be difficult to find? I hope you can find one, they are lovely. Hope you have a great week 🧡😊
Hi Janette, if you ever have a wasp problem again there is a spray foam that's sold at hardware stores it comes out like canned whip cream. Spray the nest at night when they're at home for the night and in the morning they'll be in wasp heaven. It also works on yellow jackets. Disregard the sizing on the Ninebark tag, we have 2. One is supposed to get 3 ft. tall and it's 6 ft. tall and the other is supposed to get 5 ft. tall and it's 12 ft. tall. The flowers are beautiful in the spring and even the spent flowers look nice, we leave them on until fall. I have a video short on my channel if you want to see what the flowers look like. I finally knew the music you played : Putting on the Ritz. We finally had a break in the weather yesterday 80° F , but it was pouring rain. It supposed to be in the mid 90's again most of this week. Frog Watch 2024 continues 🐸. When they arrive I think I'll be as excited as you will be.
Good morning to you! I will definitely have a look at your Ninebark and I did think where I’ve put it is not going to be suitable if it gets big. I was kind of comparing it to my other Ninebark which I have had for a few years and never gets much bigger than 2 foot but of course that’s a different variety. Thanks for the wasp treatment idea, I think I will get something, always handy to have just in case so I’ll do that. Oh yes, Putting On The Ritz it is 🎶 and thanks for sharing my 🐸 enthusiasm 😂 Hope you have a wonderful eeek 😊🧡
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener I forgot to tell you that the Ninebark can be cut back hard with no ill effects to keep it in check, we do it every couple years.
Aha! That’s very handy to know. Thank you 🧡😊
Hand sanitizer will take the sting out of a wasp sting.
Oh thank you for that Joey! 👍 have a wonderful week 🧡😊
Hi Janette what are the pink & white flowers? Next to your new space.
Hello there, well I am thinking 🤨 if you mean the large bush then that’s a lacecap hydrangea, but if you mean the little flowers then those are pelargoniums. Hope you’re having a great week 🧡😊
Hi. Just a thought, couldn’t you use your green wheelie bin as a compost bin? The wasps won’t be able to get in that because of the lid. I’m always sad when I see my neighbours green bins getting collected when they could be putting all the nutrients back into their gardens. I use a large dalek type compost bin for kitchen and garden waste. It’s so full of hungry worms that anything I put in gets broken down so fast, it always amazes me.
Hi Kerry it probably doesn’t look like it but those 3 bags are so full that I’d only get a small bit of one of them in my green bin. But I think I’ll do what you’ve done and buy 3 dalek ones (good description, I know exactly what you mean). I see them all the time on Facebook Marketplace really cheap. Thanks for your idea though. Have a happy day 🧡😊
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Yes! I got my large Dalek bin off marketplace for a fiver. Once the compost process is happening well, and if it’s in the sun, it breaks down so fast. I fill it up to the brim and squash the lid down, and within a week or 2, it’s less than half full again. I’ve been packing stuff in for 3 years, plain cardboard boxes and all, and it’s still not full. I have taken some compost out the bottom, but not a lot. It’s very rich compared to shop bought.
@kerryfirehorse oh wow! Definitely going to do this, thanks for telling me Kerry 🙏🎉😄
Morning J. Lovely video. Please tell me, your brunnera, looks like you have 2 different varieties? Can you tell me what the whiter one and the darker one are called please. Also if you could choose just one, which one performs best for our Essex conditions!
Debs from Loughton ❤
Although we live in the United States I can tell you from experience that all brunnera perform the same so I would say get the one you like the most.
@debwatts2035 Hello there Deb and thank you for watching. Yes, the larger ones which are whiter are called Sterling Silver - so gorgeous in the Spring with the frothy blue flowers. They are bigger only because I’ve had them longer. I think the smaller ones will get the same size eventually. The ones I planted today are Jack Frost and Looking Glass (no idea which is which!) but I cannot remember what the other smaller ones are now! If I had to choose my favourites then I’d go for the Sterling Silver because I know they do so well, but I suspect that any variety is going to be lovely. They do like the shade though so don’t plant them in full sun. Hope that helps and have a lovely week 😊🧡
@squirrelsarepeopletoo6678 yes I would agree, I think they are probably all pretty much the same 🧡
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener thank you so much. I’m definitely looking for the Sterling Silver now xx
