Arranging the Plants - New Border Part 3 - My English Garden April 2021

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- Today I decide where and why I plant each shrub and perennial in my new border. I look at where the sun and shade fall in the morning and afternoon and take in to consideration how big the mature plants will be.
This year I am planting up an empty garden border with plants: bought online, at a local garden centre, moved from other parts of the garden and cuttings.
This is a series of videos showing the border develop from empty to mature.

I never make a plan either. I just make it up as I go. Good to know that I am not alone. 😊
Far from alone - I think most people do.
"...I just get on with it." 😂 Inspiring! Thank you! ☀️
Ah, thank you.
Hi Paul Good Morning! I am glad I can't afford someone to come in with 500 plants, because I love creating the garden myself and it may not look like a magazine, but I am proud of my own trial and error and efforts. That is not to say that I am not paralysed with fear sometimes when placing plants or plant choice lol. A lot of professionals get it wrong and plant things too close together and have to move them, and this gives me comfort. I ALWAYS have to move plants that I have put in the wrong place more than I get it right! I think you inspire people with your attitude. There is nothing better than growing plants ( and keeping bantams!hahaha)
Good morning Margaret, I like your story of moving plants - I have already planted one too close to another!
I forgot to say, my mouth dropped at the beginning of the video when you had the Clivia in hand, how did grow that in zone 9a! then you said it was inside, good move. I have been meaning to buy one and do the same. Super expensive here.
That's right it's indoors most of the time. They do produce offspring at the base, I was given my original one and this is the great, great, grand daughter and I've given plenty away.
wow, good growing! and very generous too
Looking forward to seeing how the new border progresses. As the saying goes, Doctors bury their mistakes, Gardeners dig theirs up! Best wishes.
That's a great saying - must remember it!
Lol, that's a cute saying...never heard that one. I too, am looking forward to seeing how Paul's garden progresses, especially the shed bed.
@Joanne Craft-Lane Me too - and I have just dug another lump of lawn out for another bed! Busy Summer coming up.
What a wonderful saying! I've never heard that one before! So true! :)
Very beautiful video paul! With your charming garden 🌱😍🌼🌼
Glad you enjoyed it 🌸
The wall will look great once that fills in
Hopefully it'll look like a 'proper' wall. 😊
@@paultsworld I am sure it is
“All Plants can be moved, more or less”, and then you chuckled! LOL 😂😂😂 That reminds me, the previous owner to my house planted several Ottoman Cherry Laurel Bushes. They planted one on the boarder between our house and the next door neighbor’s house. The next door neighbor claimed that is his bush, along with a Rose Bush that I planted next to it. I dug up the Rose Bush, which I had bought, and paid for, and moved it further on my side. The Cherry Laurel Bush is too big and heavy to move, so I got a whole bunch of cuttings from it, some including part of the root, and moved it further over into my yard. I trimmed it up real good so it is no longer on his side. LOL Now I have a whole bunch of little bushes growing from cuttings.
Well done for sorting out your plants in your garden - very satisfying doing it from cuttings.
I like the way you are going to hide the edges of the wall and leave it to people's imagination (a 4 meter wall or Hadrian's wall behind the bushes🤔)🤣
I like your Dicentra. The leaves are so unusual and it can take sun....I didn't know about this one.
Hadrian's Wall - love it! Hope that dicentra can indeed take the sun as it's now in a sunny position! On this one the 'hearts' are more clustered together rather than spread out over an arching stem.
I'll keep my eye out for it at our local garden centre, but I might end up buying on line to get hold of one. Let us know if it does perform well in a sunny position.
Will do! When I planted it I saw the opportunity to pull a bit off and create a second plant. Not sure if it’ll survive.
🤞
I am enjoying this series and hearing your thoughts and seeing the development - thank you!
I’m pleased it gives food for thought.
I love your method of making it as you go along. We’re not all loaded with money!
Thank you Karen. I think it's important to get good value for money and invest in each of the plants with time and energy - which doesn't happen when buying every plant at one time and having an instant border.
That's why I invest in perennials when I buy. Otherwise, annuals that self seed works for me when considering flowers.
@ Joanie. Good plan - I should more of that.
Trial and error is the most effective teacher. You can read all the books in the world.... I like your method Paul! LOL
Hi AJ, it means I make plenty of mistakes - but I like it that way.
@@paultsworld Same here Paul!
Thank you for your lovely channel. We got snow here again last night so I'm getting my gardening fix through you. What a wonderful job you've done!
Oh no, snow again!! You must really, really be impatient to get out in the garden.
@@paultsworld Thankfully those of us in northern climes have your channel to look forward to.
That’s very kind.
Great vid The overview of garden and why you planted what you did or going to do was very informative..
Cheers, thanks Chris.
I saw a lily of the valley in foreground, they are the biggest thugs in my garden. After 3 years of trying to eradicate them, the battle is still on, they still poking their heads in spring😫. I like your relaxing approach to the design. “It can always be moved” that is my motto! My husband laughs at me, telling me that “in our garden plants do not get established , they are being moved too often”....
I will watch the lily-of-the-valley - so far they haven't been invasive but I can see they are more widespread than I thought - I do love them though!
Lily of the Valley is unwelcome in my yard as well!!!
Even if you don’t make a plan, you know how to make it look inviting. I love how you put some tall plants in front.
It's starting to take shape. I do like the idea of a tall 'see-through' plant at the front.
The Berber is in front of the wall is just gorgeous. I cannot wait to see the evergreen azalea in front of the deciduous one. It is coming along very nicely, and I so enjoy your process. Madame Clivia looks so healthy! Mine usually blooms for me (NY) in November.
That's interesting your clivia blooms at the end of the year - here it's Spring.
I love the wall. I also have my eye on two Elderberry Plants. One is Chartreuse, the other is dark.
I also want to get a Serviceberry Tree, and an Amathus Wisteria to grow over our shed.
Those sound great choices! I love wisteria but unfortunately haven't got one. Is Serviceberry the amelanchier? I have one in my front garden - I am standing in front of it in the intro with the clivia. Lovely tree.
I really enjoy your videos. I live in Ohio, USA and design my garden the same way you do.
Good for you Joanne - the best way! Greetings to Ohio.
Likewise, from another USA midwestern gardener. And I appreciate Paul mentioning how some widely known gardeners design. As a new gardener watching videos, this was discouraging for me as I could not buy fully grown plants or plants in bulk that of course make even new beds look fantastic. So I am also really enjoying these videos. Thank you Paul T. I garden in Iowa, USA--Jan
@@MsBenzthere Jan - I am really happy that my videos have encouraged you to relax and enjoy your garden at your pace and be excited with the whole process.
@@MsBenzthere Jan, check in your local area for a plant swapping group. A lady from my church told me about one in my area, and I've swapped both plant starts and seeds for many years.
@Joanne Great idea.
I think gardens built gradually come out the best! Love your shrub choices! 🌿🌿🌿🌸🌸🌸
Thank you - I appreciate your comment.
Clivia Lily - my parents have one of these as well! They are very low light indoor plants that thrive with very little care.
Amazing your rhododendron is doing very well with the recent transplant - no signs of shock at all. Azelea plants don’t tend to do well for me in my garden so I will be enjoying their blooms in yours Paul.
That clivia usually puts out one set of blooms then another a few months later - this time both together - you're right, they don't need much care... my type of plant Tracy!
So far so good with the rhodie - fingers crossed.
Gorgeous and Gorgeous....
Thank you for sharing your great work in the garden...Paul T's World.
Greetings from North Borneo.
So nice of you Zaleha, greetings from England.
Paul, I love your sense of humor with the birds and squirrels. I watched your squirrel video a few times and every time I laughed hard. I showed to my adult daughter and we laughed some more!!
Grace, so pleased you had a good laugh with my squirrels. Thanks for letting me know - makes my day.
I cant imagine plant picture on the paper! I sit in the garden and just watch😊😊😊 That'll be a nice corner , really Paul!🌱🌱🌱💐💐💐
Sitting and watching is a nice way to make decisions. Thank you Natalia, I am looking forward to filling the border and watching it grow. 🌸
Beautiful! Just be careful with that Virginia Creeper. It can get out of hand very quickly!
Thank you for the warning - this one is the Chinese Virginia Creeper which is not very invasive - but I know what you mean about the common one!
So looking forward to the progress. I planted a couple of enomynous plants in the moonlight late last night. In containers to start. Guess I will have to plant them in the ground later. I just love s burst of energy at night with half moon and it is all peaceful and quite. My neighbour is still digging out the front left hand side of my driveway. There is a huge old cherry tree root that is being a challenge, but Mighty Mouse - my neighbour will get it out.
I really like euonymus - nice and bright foliage. Good luck with the cherry roots, they can go on forever!
You are an inspiration for a rookie gardeners like me,I like how you plan a perfect spot for each and every plant, I guess it comes from lots of experience. Eagerly waiting to see how your new border is going to progress.
Thank you - but I get lots wrong - but try and get it right. The plants end up sorting me out.
Nice and informative sir. I too prefer treating gardening as an ongoing process not an end product. That's the joy in it for most of us that enjoy working with plants, flowers, and veg. Isn't " gardening" a verb after all? (Hehe) Loved a peek at the sweet birds as well. Thanks Paul. Look forward to your posts.
So nice of you Eileen, glad you like the blackbird and robin - they are constant companions.
Love love your show, I always learn something new but just one complaint...I wish your shows were longer! Thank you Paul, Evie
So pleased you enjoy my videos. If you fancy something longer Evie, have you watched my mega 45 minute garden tour 😆 th-cam.com/video/vx5uqskZoZM/w-d-xo.html
Paul. I am so happy to hear you say you want shrubs. There is a you tube gardener here in the US. Linda Vader and she says gardens are like our homes. Furniture and throw pillows. Shrubs and trees are furniture flowers are throw pillows. This has really changed my philosophy of gardening! Love watching you! Glenda zone 5 in the US.
I am delighted you like my videos Glenda and that you are enjoying your garden even more. Greetings to the US.
Yes, Paul, that´s how gardens evolve, with or without the garden gurus named Alan,Monty, Harry and David and without a big spender trousers on. This is - unless you were born in a money filled bathtub - the way we gardeners make our gardens look like our paradise! BTW I prefer Bardolino or Prosecco. In the mornings I´ve often been seen wandering my garden with a cup of coffee, and later in the evening with a glas of Martini on the rocks. Imagine us, feeling so content with our well designed gardens, that we take not only our garden tools out, but the drinks as well. This year I´m going to get my hands wet and build a waterfeature by myself. Don´t call me Charlie, but wish me luck. I can´t wait for your next video, to see how the border is coming together. Thanks for letting us know your thought process on this new border! Best wishes, Hanni.
That's a real pleasure in having a garden - wandering around in the evening, maybe a glass in hand, taking everything in. Good luck with your garden feature Hanni - just gazing into the water is another late evening/early morning pastime.
Greetings. Great approach to planting up the bed. Makes a lot of sense to place potted plants in the area to see how it looks and feels before planting them, then filling up the rest slowly. Your videos are very encouraging, great gardens just like Rome aren't built in a day. 🌺
Hi there - glad you like my slowly but surely method.
I love the way you are planning a 'trick of the eye' with the planting around the wall - it's going to look really effective. I also like my garden to evolve over a season too. The trouble with all these 'instant garden' programmes on tv is that they give unrealistic expectations to folks who are perhaps just starting out with a garden. They miss out the most important attribute of all .... patience 😉🌻
I agree - of course they only have a day or two (to make the program) but I love the process and can therefore concentrate on just a couple of plants at a time and really enjoy them. If they all arrive at once I wouldn't 'know' them I'd just know their name.
That Clivia looks so beautiful ... it's amazing that you have to keep it inside all winter. I love your stacked sandstone wall too!
I think I am a trial and error gardener too, it's usually the best way. I can't wait to see the garden when you have planted it out!
Normally there is one flower spike - great to see two this Spring. Yes, it's more a house plant in Britain.
Thank you Paul for your video. It is so important to take into account shade and sunshine when planting. I love myosotis too. But Cottie too unfortunately! I've got one plant in security somewhere in my garden 😉 It's a pleasure to see and listen to the blackbird and robin singing in the spring. Thank's for these beautiful pictures 😍❤️🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed the birds Jane - they are becoming tamer as they know there will be something of interest to them when I'm digging and planting. 🌸
I said I wouldn't buy any more shrubs, but you inspired me to go shopping. Thank you for my new white azalea!
Ha well done - I have a white azalea and it is spectacular - I’ve also just bought a white deciduous azalea - never seen one before.
That’s great you are enjoying your garden - and new shrubs!
Never thought to dig up and move a plant if it doesn’t look well where it’s planted, I just thought that was curtains for the plant, thanks for this tip.
Yes, Sue - nothing to lose really. They often revive well because of the nice new compost, watering and they love attention.
Love your choices of shrubs and thoughts of where to put them will be interesting to see your garden space evolve love your garden 👍
Thank you - will be great to see them start to fill out.
My garden is never quite the same 2 years running, I dig up and move stuff about all the time, I water the plant I am going to move dig it up , put it in a bucket with some water in it and replant , and then water it again and leave it to grow.
That’s great advice - and so important.
Thank you for explaining your "designing style". It made me feel better about my lack of a "proper" design and the inability to re-create what I would love to have in my garden, namely a miniature Great Dixter mixed border. At present, because of the cold weather, I am learning to propagate plants from seed indoors, with limited success, I must admit :-) At least the verbena bonariensis and mirabilis seedlings look healthy and promising! Keep us updated about your new border, please. Cheers!
I’ve been given some verbena bonariensis- my last lot didn’t do well for some reason so trying again. Hope your weather warms up soon!
Hello, Paul! My euonymus is almost as tall as me...5’3”.😁 I have to cut them back a couple times a year. LOL I make things up as I go along, too!😆
Tell me about it Dawn! I have two others and they certainly grow big. I'll get my chainsaw ready - you know me 🤣
You know a lot about your garden,I am learning
Thank you Caroline - there's lots I don't know and learning is the fun bit.
It's all starting to take shape, I think it's going to be beautiful in the summer👌
I hope so Rose Mary - will be nice when the plants start to fill out.
Greatings🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🎉🙏
Thank you Daiga 🌸
The best Garden!
Hi Paul, it's going to look wonderful in like you paul I don't put anything down on paper I just get on with it the same and it seems to work out I'm not professional either but I like the way we do thing just get on with it enjoy your weekend and tour garden. 💛💚❤👍💐
Thanks Helen, I think I change my mind too much for serious planning 😊. Enjoy this great weather in your garden.
I never make a plan Paul, make it up as I go along and hope for the best. Wish I had Alan T’s money for my garden 🤣🤣
just like me Lil - and it's a lot of fun - particularly when it goes right!
I love your gardening approach I think it’s wonderful
Wow, that makes me happy.
Absolutely love what you do. Thank you so much. I noticed that I am doing what you do. That's gives me comfort.
I am very pleased - everything will work out.
@@paultsworld yes it has been. I picked up gardening about 7 or so years ago and I am obsessed ☺️☺️
@@lilbeesting Brilliant - great obsession.
@@paultsworld definitely. It's saved my sanity ☺️☺️☺️
How are you, Paul?
I have been into your garden around every corner n nook with your kind & interesting stories.
I love Forget -me -nots.
I can't wait for your plants to be full of flowers n be much greener. I appreciate your efforts, passion n love for this garden.
Greetings from Seoul.
Have a good weekend!😄👍👍💛
I am fine thank you Smile Sun. I am so pleased you enjoy seeing my garden - I am busy planting up the new borders and excited to see how it will be this Summer. Greetings from England. 🌸
@@paultsworld I expect of your new borders too much. Thanks a lot for your warm answers. Be healthy n safe.🙏
You're welcome. Thank you.
It’s going to be glorious in Summer 🤗 I love the Ajuga I split mine quite a bit last year to help with my front border 😀
It’s great having (free extra) plants to split!
Love all your selections..simple smart but says it🌹🌹🌹
Thank you! 🌼
Oh my goodness, I loved seeing your sweet Cilvia in the opening shot. Mine is the same color. I’ve had her for 14 years and she blooms faithfully every six months for me. My garden philosophy is much like yours. I plant what I want where I want.😁 I am envious of that gorgeous climbing hydrangea. When does it bloom Paul? Your videos always leave me waiting for the next one 😊
Every six months? - that's briliiant - mine only flowers in the early part of the year - so far. This climbing hydrangea is going to bloom in May - this one for the first time ever, so I am super pleased.
@@paultsworld My clivia bloomed once a year, usually in February, for quite some time. I think it’s been the last 4 or 5 years that it started to bloom around August also. Maybe it’s an age thing 😁
So there are advantages to getting old? 😎
@@paultsworld 😊 I think so. I love being retired and doing what I want when I want and if I want. And goodness, that sounds selfish but hopefully you know what I mean 😊
Absolutely know what you mean - time's now for you...not selfish - way to go!
A relaxing video
Glad you think so!
Shed bed coming along nicely Paul. I thought struck me as I was looking at the stone wall. Think I would be tempted to fill the pockets with soil and plant up perhaps blue or yellow to echo what you have put in the ground. Just a suggestion, what do I know😊🧑🌾
That’s a nice idea Penelope, it would certainly add a splash of complementary colour. Thank you for the suggestion.
Paul you should have seen me with my pen and paper writing down the name of the 🪴 🌱 😂
That's brilliant Elaine! Hope you find them OK at the garden centre or online.
Have you ever considered putting another pond in?I can only imagine the pond life it would attract especially newts again ( wonderful video you did on them ) and great to see your new addition GLAM ROCK ( my suggestion LOL) ...lovely post, thanks for sharing.
Another pond would be great - but at the moment I have to concentrate on the brand new beds. I am excited about the Glam Rock - mine is so very small I feel I have to nurse it and hope it does well.
@@paultsworld awww, hope it grows well for you ...can't wait for the download on it fingers crossed!
🤞🏻
Oh beautiful flowering tree
One of my favourites!
@@paultsworld Great 👍
You have given me so so much inspiration
You’ve inspired me to make more videos - thank you 🌻
The Berberis can be invasive at least in the US so be on lookout. I love watching you. I’m jealous that you don’t have a tick problem.
That's interesting Jeanne - here in Britain it's not invasive (that I know of). We do have ticks but generally in the countryside.
@@paultsworld Here, in central Europe, this plant is not invasive either. I think I do have some ticks in my garden but I am not worried about it at all, I simply screen my skin for ticks after each gardening session; anyway they are easy to spot and remove before they regurgitate into one's bloodstream, at least in my case.
@pertelote45 Great attitude to ticks - whilst I'm very relaxed with all sorts of 'dangerous' wildlife I am pretty wary of ticks.
It was very interesting to see the prices for your plants. They are more expensive in our area in Cleveland, Oh. Zone 6a. Your plants are a very nice price for the size. (I did the conversion from euro to dollar)
I hadn't realised our prices were such good value. The price I showed was British pounds - the rate today is about £1 = $1.38. I also thought the size was good - I bought these at a local garden centre and are much bigger than the ones I bought online for the same price.
Next time I go to the garden center I’ll take a photo of the plants and prices.
That would be interesting.
Yes I'm like you I just decide as I go about where to put things and I have dug up lots of stuff and moved them too after deciding I really didn't like them there after all or that they weren't doing well in that particular spot. It's just a lot of trial and error with me. Love your videos
Same here! Its great to move things about to make it look the way you like!
@ S.Lea Young. Sounds as though you are very much in control of your garden - and it's good fun changing things round till it all works.
@ Suburban Oasis. Absolutely!
Wish u joy with your lovely garden
Thank you Anees. 🌸
I love your garden. I learned lots from you 😍
That’s very nice of you to let me know 🌻
Brilliant videos so glad I’ve discovered you. Just fantastic help thank you so much
I am delighted - and thank you for letting me know Kathleen - it’s so encouraging.
Hello again Paul .I don’t know if you’ve mentioned it before but geranium Roxanne fills a big space all summer and I have a beautiful shrub called Viburnum Carlessii ,the scent is so strong like carnations in spring . Have you watched an English Nursery Garden on utube Malcolm’s a bit rude but very informative .it’s from Eggleston nursery in Teezdale ,try it and have a laugh 🤣
Thank you Eileen - great suggestion on geranium roxanne - I've got one - you're right! that viburnum sounds lovely and I'll check out The English Nursery Garden.
Another high-class production, Paul! Great job! What's the story with that pinky finger? Did that those thorns get the better of you? :)
I hope you had a nice glass of wine to celebrate this beaut! Cheers!
Well spotted Nate - OK, the story is this: I was struggling with a hosta in a terracotta pot - flipping it upside down to try and get it out. The top of the pot was razor sharp as a part had broken off. Just as I was maneuvering it and at a delicate part of the operation, I had a phone call - I was careless in putting the pot down and it sliced along my finger...blood all over the phone 😆
@@paultsworld Eeek! What I’ve seen is that when you are struggling, you typically add more oomph. That, plus the call makes for a very believable story. 😉
Virtually healed now - hosta doing well 😅
I really like that trellis Sir
Thank you. 🌻
@@paultsworld You're welcome 😊
They realy are lovely plants 😊😊👍
Thank you!
Very cool upload
Thanks for the visit
WOW! so nice upload
Thank you!
Hi Paul, Thank you for your video's! Doing a great job, very informative and I also like your humor :-). The shedbed is gong to be beautiful , I was wondering if you had a photo (or a video I missed) of what the bed used to look like before you started this new border? Greetings from Barcelona
Hello Eric, I’m pleased you like the video. The bed used to be my ‘woodland bed’ - it featured in my ‘Planting foxgloves’ video.
I transferred everything to behind my pond so that area now holds the native woodland plants.
@@paultsworld Thanks Paul, Nice to see the before. Looking forward to see the progress in the next video :-)
Thanks Eric!
Thank you! !! Beautiful 🙇 video!!!
Thank you for your nice comment. 🌸
ça fait beaucoup de nouveautés dans le jardin ce printemps Paul !
Oui Roger, je suis tres excite par tout ce qui grandit.
Hi Paul... everything is beautiful.I have a question...What about your roses?...🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗..also I am absolutly surprised because you get different plants.....and all of your videos are very interesting....I enjoy all of them.....
Thank you Paul 😙😙😙😙
Hello Grace, there won't be any roses in this border but I do have a climbing rose growing up the archway. Thank you, I am happy you enjoy my videos.
Oh...Madame Clivia is stunning. Paul have you ever checked out Longwood Gardens website? Please do and see if u can view their Clivias....both orange but the rare light yellow, spectacular plants and their large specimens! I approach a garden just the way you do......that’s the fun of it I think. Also looking for ground covers...have u thought of the tricolored Ajuga Reptans.
Thanks Nadine - I'll check out Longwood Gardens - would be nice to see a full display of clivia. I'm new to ajugas and have just bought some blue ones - didn't realise there were multi-coloured ones - I'll look out for them.
Nice 👍💕💕💕
Thank you.
Nice video
Thank you.
very nice
Thank you.
Hi Paul. Really like how the shed bed is coming along. That is my kind of gardening style too. Have you ever made elderberry cordial from your native elder flower. It's very nice. Take care. 🇮🇪
Hi Catherine, glad you like the shed bed. So far not made any cordial from the elderberry - the flowers haven’t been sufficient to produce the berries - mostly because of my bone dry sandy soil. Sounds as though yours are productive. All the best.
@@paultsworld you need about 20 flower heads. Paul not the berries.. Also lemons , sugar, citric acid. And boiling water. It's very tasty. You could supplement with some floretttes from a hedgerow. 👍
Sounds lovely and a natural 'countryside' drink. I'll have to give my elderberry plant some food to get it producing more florettes. Or, as you say, a walk into the countryside.
Your garden is looking fabulous! Would you believe we had snow flurries today here? And yes, ticks are awful here in Eastern Canada. In a few weeks we'll also be besieged by tiny blood sucking Blackflies. I garden in a hooded "bug jacket", pants tucked in rubber boots sprayed in bug repellent and there's the ever vigilant tick check, after coming inside from out. When it gets really hot and dry in summer the ticks and blackflies die back, the ticks are still out but not like in May/June. The climate is changing and we see ticks on the snow in winter in the forest when it is mild out.
I have heard about the blackflies - sorry you need a bug jacket - I love insects but would prefer to avoid the little biting ones!
@@paultsworld ...they're out... it was 14 degrees Cel today.
So early in the season - yikes!
Merlot and fingers crossed is my gardening style..... maybe if I left the merlot till after I plant they might do better 😂😂😂😂
I'm with you on the gardening style! Must say I do end the gardening day with a Merlot on the patio rather than the other way round 😆
@@paultsworld it’s an essential way to end the day.... especially this past year..... though I suspect I may like the garden requires weeding, I’ll require a detox😂😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely - must keep up appearances! 😆
"If a plant is not happy where it's at, dig it up and plant it somewhere else" wish someone told me this when I was younger :) I've killed so many plants by not doing this! At the 3:17 mark what are those new growth behind your dicentra at the edge of the shed wall? Soooo curious to see what all is popping up throughout your garden! Enjoy your videos very much from Texas!
Hello, those are Lily-of-the-Valley - they were there before I dug over the bed, I moved some and missed those - I like them so they are staying. They have lovely little white bells. Best wishes to Texas!

Thank you!
good man a redwine merlot lol
The best 🍷
Brilliant planning, I am sometimes confused by the label part shade or semi shade that you often see in plant label descriptions it can mean a lot of things from dappled shade under a deciduous tree most of the day to all morning or all afternoon sun.
I like the blue flowered forget me not near the shed, are you going to leave it there and let its flowers mix in with the Jacobs ladder flowers? The elderflower is great for the birds, strange that elder and rowan are similar in flower and both produce berries but are not closely related.
Ajuga is great and I love blue flowers, I have also got lithodora which has blue flowers and likes acid soil.
That should be a quiz question - what is the difference between part shade and semi shade! I wonder if the plants even know. 😊
Yes, I will leave the forget-me-not because I love nature finding its own way - but I will watch it like a hawk - I've seen in other gardens what it is capable of.
I am new to Ajuga so excited about my new ones ( I bought plants). Thanks for letting me know lithodora likes acidic soil - I have some in the front garden - it should be ground cover but is busy growing up the philadelphus 😅
@@paultsworld Sounds like Lithodora might have the same problem as vinca then, I shall have to keep an eye on both of them to to make sure they don't spread too far. I put the Lithodora quite near a Vaccinium 'Fireballs' to contrast the colours, the pink flowers and red berries of the vaccinium. For blue flowers which I love I also have ajuga and Himalayan blue poppies, and was also considering getting a fairy thimbles low growing campanula although that's more purply-blue.
Ajuga (which is how I pronounce it anyway) is great I have never seen it growing wild in a woodland though, it is also called bugle when referring to the native species especially.
I wouldn't call my lithodora invasive because it's not sending roots around the place - it just fancies using the philadelphus as a climbing frame - it's really easy to cut back, which I will do once it finishes adorning the philadelphus with nice splashes of blue.
Thanks for the ajuga - bugle. I was familiar with bugle and just am just realising it is ajuga.
@@paultsworld Its great you can get native wildflowers in cultivated foliage interest form like ajuga (bugle) , and anthriscus Ravenswing too which I have, the purple leaved form of cow parsley.
Our countryside has lots of cow parsley along the verges of the country roads - a lovely and sure sign of Summer with the white flowers swaying in the breeze.
So beautiful 😍 garden joined you dear friend Namaste 🙏 stay connected pls 🙏
Thanks and sure - Namaste.
Hi Paul! I noticed signs of illness on your Masquerade rose (possibly mildew - peronospora), take a closer look at it, and you will probably have to cut off the infected shoot. Or is it a sunburn at the shoot? thanks for the great video!
Hi! Thanks for pointing that out. I had noticed something was wrong - I had to cut its tap root when I moved it so I’m wondering if its just stressed. It could be sunburn as it’s been none-stop sunshine this April. Thanks for the mildew suggestion - I’ll read up on it.
@@paultsworld You are welcome!)
@@paultsworld perhaps this color is a feature of this rose variety!
@@DZett7 not sure - but don’t think so.
That looks awfully dry Paul; same here. Have you got a Skimmia? It's not just evergreen but has highly scented flowers then red berries, very pretty (Not the dark red one); and Sarcococca also evergreen, winter perfume.
You’re right Wendy - the whole garden gets totally dry so quickly so I have to concentrate on keeping the individual plants alive rather than the bed. Some of the plants have scorched leaves.
I used to have a skimmia but it didn’t have flowers or berries and the plant just sat there and did nothing.
Pity because there are obviously interesting varieties.
@@paultsworld I'm always wary of interesting varieties - many old ones are new to me anyway. Perhaps you had one that needed a male and female - mine doesn't and had flowers when I bought, a real delight. Try one in a pot maybe, if it didn't like your soil. There's Japonica (needs two) and S.laureola, from the Himalayas..
You know - I didn't even think of the male/female thing! Didn't cross my mind why it wasn't happy.
@@paultsworld Rush - some pollinated by hand/brush. Mine is self-pollinating. I've read that some are semi-epiphytic too. Worth getting a self-poll. one. I'm sorry but I had to dash out; just think of plants in a disco. Mine are on limestone, one a tiny throw-out still strulles but flowers the old one is OK. I do post photos, but not here- hope you're watering well.
Yes, I spend much of yesterday evening watering - the garden is bone dry so I have to be really careful with all these new plants. I've no water in the water butts so the ericaceous plants are having to have tap water - not ideal but needs must.
what do u think about campsis trumpet vine? i nearly bought one but heard they may take 3 to 5 yrs before flowering.....
I had a campsis a few years ago - it was in a large pot on my patio - it struggled and then died a year or two later. I think it was the Winter and being in a pot makes it colder for the roots - so I think the cold killed it. Maybe too tender?
@@paultsworld hmmm ok...because this weekend putting up a new 7ft trellis...i need climbers im going to buy the warsaw clematis deep red lovely and a virginia creeper is already established..just need a 3rd climber to go in the pot
@@ThePegasus101 Warsaw clematis sounds a really suitable climber.
Does the t stand for terence and is your last name kelly
No, the last name isn't Kelly. Who is Paul T Kelly?
Someone i went to school with 2 paul kellys in the class you look like him he became p t the other was p j
@@16SKORPION80 I see now - no, it’s not me...sorry.
No more videos on plants to be.plantenf and that you bought.
Hello, sorry I haven't updated the garden plants - I'm just having to take a break at the moment.
