So encouraging to see you filling up your water cans and doing it by hand. I was thinking about an in line distribution system, but it really took me no time at all to give my 400 dahlias a drink of fish emulsion in my two watering cans.
I live in Amsterdam and am just back from a trip to the UK. Visited Upton Grey garden, where they can not have too many hollyhocks ! More is more 😊 My Dahlias are either full of buds or full of leaves so the day before yesterday I gave them all a feed (& the roses). It has been so dry here (& breezy) that I wish that tomorrow it would rain as much as it has done today, we really need it! Your plants are looking fantastic.
October 12 th today and it’s the first time I’ve not been able to sunbathe in my garden 🪴 UK 🇬🇧 we’ve had the best Autumn 🍂, makes up for rainy August. Ps it rains more in Paris than London , fun fact . New Zealand 🇳🇿 is the country that has similar weather to UK 🇬🇧. Minus the Earthquake.
So lovely to see the strong and healthy looking flowerbeds on your farm. I was just going to organise my dahlias tomorrow. They look wild after my absence due to a trip to....yes...Stourhead. I have come back in awe still and nourished by the beauty of it all. And now I am inspired by your work in your garden. So without further ado I am off to the hard ware shop tomorrow to buy sea weed feed. Thank you for your down to earth advice. PS. lots of rain here in the south west of the Netherlands, but with high winds which dry out the soil. Alas.
Thank you ❤ I've been wanting to walk around and feed all my flowers but thought I'd look a bit potty in the rain. But now I don't care ! They definitely need it...they've got that lacklustre mid summer look. So hopefully tonight 😁
We have seasol here in Australia which is a seedweed solution. I do the same for my plants and give them the same solution when I plant new seedlings to prevent transplant shock. I plant in compost and blood and bone. Your garden is looking great Georgie .
Just love your videos Georgie. I started to watch and stopped as I felt the urge to go and pick a huge bunch of sweet peas which are now scenting my living room! Later today I'm going to do the 30 stem challenge and see what I can create for the weekend!! Your dahlias are gorgeous, whereas mine have been mullered by something!Thankyou for your inspiration as always xx
Newby here 👋. Ive been making a banana tea solution usung banans peels. Anyone got any info on that? Its not been long enough to see a result. Enjoying your videos! 🇦🇺🙃
I love when Tea Cake barks you immediately answer 'Oh Tea Cake' . He could have his own fan club like Monty Don's Golden Retriever, Nigel had.
I thought exactly the same 😂 Oh Teacake 😊
lol - she's a great chatterbox x
Georgie you looked angelic standing in the dahlia patch with the glorious rays of sunlight. 😊 God bless
lol - making the most of the sun when we get a splash here at the moment x

we have a lot of water coming from the sky at the moment - would be a shame to waste it x

thanks Irene - we've been lucky to have a good mid-season rain - makes such a difference x

ooh I hate a desiccating wind too - hope you get less wind and more rain x
Thinking I might go collect me some seaweed along the beach .
it's great to add to a compost heap though be careful if harvesting seaweed is allowed where you are x
Beautiful, Georgie! Everything looks so lush but tidy 💚
thank you x
It's no wonder your arrangements are so amazing. you grow the most beautiful variety of plants. Farm is looking great. Plenty of hard work.
Thanks Erwin - do you remember when I was weeding over these beds in the spring and you wondered if I'd ever finish? x
Thank you ❤ I've been wanting to walk around and feed all my flowers but thought I'd look a bit potty in the rain. But now I don't care ! They definitely need it...they've got that lacklustre mid summer look. So hopefully tonight 😁
go for it x
The biodiversity in your garden is wonderful to see ❤
thank you x

Wonderful! x
Love a trolley 😊
me too x
With so much rain how do you keep the slugs at bay from your dahlias ?
we have a good ecosystem here having been gardening organically here since 2004 so we have slugs but not enough to cause too much damage x
Would love your tips on flowers to dry & foliage as well please !
hopefully will make a clip on that subject this weekend x
Lots of info and good advce thank you. Jan uk
Glad it was helpful! x
Very informative! Thank you
Glad it was helpful! x
I need a trolly! Just like yours Georgia .thank you.
everyone needs a trolley x

Did it work? I've never heard of banana tea solution x
Hi Georgie, How do you keep the grass edge so neat? For me the grass paths creep into the garden beds...how often do you edge them? best methods?
about twice a year with big scissors x
What would be a good alternative to this in the US?
to the seaweed feed? one day I'll make a clip about making home grown feeds - do you have comfrey? makes a wonderful flower encouraging feed x
