    I love primrose & polyanthas and violets together but always think of them as spring plants so was surprised to hear they are winter ones. As children my sister and I used to go picking them and sell to neighbours in bunches. We lived in a council house so none of us were wealthy but we always sold them. I look back and think how generous our neighbours were because they could be collected along the railway embankment and down the local lanes. Thanks for triggering a lovely memory from 70 years ago.
    Enjoy the respite from regular video. Rug up it looks cold there.

    I love this video thank you for posting this. I love the fact that you know this is the part that people don’t talk about and I love how you do that I always called the ugly side of things you know it’s not really ugly, but you know it’s the dark side where we have to dig up our beautiful things and I do that too. I live in Texas and there’s a lot of things are winters are so wet here that a lot of things don’t winter over in the ground and so I remove a lot as well and it’s so hard to do, but I’ve gotten to where I just cut the flowers and put them in. Enjoy them inside or give them to my mom or my friends And I have roots to grow next year and I grow a lot of plants that are not perennials that do not come back and I don’t wanna get rid of them so I dig them up and cut them off to the pot bring them in and they struggle along until I put them back out and then they grow all over again, so I keep them from year after year, but I have to dig them up out of the ground to do so and I love the fact that you talk about the stuff that most people don’t wanna talk about. It’s reality of being a gardener for this thank you I love your videos

    I've cut down several beautiful flowers, it was painful. Still holding on to a few calendulas, but frost and snow is near, so it's the last few days. My coriander froze tonight, but OK to harvest and use in a hummus. I don't have dahlias and don't bring anything in for overwintering, but I'm sheltering the pots outside because I had so much wet soil last spring.
    Of course I'm subscribed, won't miss a thing! I will watch your videos when they come and enjoy your garden instead of the all white scenery here. You deserve to relax a bit over winter. There are other things in life besides gardening too.

    I love your channel, so many tips for growers - thanx a bunch! In fact, You mentioned cosmos that is not cosmos which was a bit confusing for me. So, could you please clarify wether it would be possible to overwinter them or not. I know, it is not a perennial plant, but I perked up my ears, when you mentioned the idea that there was the possibility to store them. Thank you in advance for your answer! Enjoy your winter, and I look forward to your videos anytime.❤❤❤

      Ah so that was Chocolate Cosmos. They are called cosmos but they are in fact a different plant.
      They have tuberous roots so can be stored like dahlia.
      They are perennials but again, not in my climate so I have to over winter them.

    • @KateKitek
      @KateKitek หลายเดือนก่อน

      @eliandkate thank you for your answer. Now I see your point. I live in zone 6b/7, similar to yours, and I think that is why I was surprised that we can store the roots of cosmos. I love your flower bed arrangement for this year! It seems that you used candelabra primrose; I would also recommend rosebud primrose, ivy-leaved cyclamen, and hellebore-all hardy and providing a picturesque display. You mentioned chocolate cosmos-fantastic! They are scented flowers. I had no idea that cosmos could produce fragrance. I am over the moon; thank you!

    As an alternative, have you considered just covering your dahlias with some plastic to divert the rainwater? Not surrounded by the plastic like a mini greenhouse/coldframe where you need to monitor the temperature inside, but just a 'roof' to keep the rain from getting in? Then all you'd need to do is give a bit of water on warm days if the soil is too dry in order to keep the tubers from drying completely out over the winter, but you shouldn't need to dig them up. Might be a labor-saving solution..

    Enjoy your break! You deserve it :) I had a wee question when you get a sec to reply - how can I better insulate my overwintering plants while they're in the greenhouse? I've been growing christmas potatoes in a grow bag since August and even though I brought the bag into the greenhouse, the freeze last weekend killed off the leaves completely (my thermometer said it reached -4C in there!). For now the bag is wrapped in a blanket (a hilarious sight).

    • @eliandkate
      @eliandkate  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      it's a case of wrapping them in fleece, or even wrapping the pots in bubble wrap, or even adding bubble wrap to the greenhouse. Obviously though all you can do is protect them against frost, without heating the greenhouse, you won't stop it getting cold if it's cold outside.
