Sanguisorba ‘Nettlesworth Wand’ was too floppsy for me too, gone now, but a little thing about the Paulownia I’d like to share - the yearly growth make for ridiculously light and strong, long lasting poles for whatever you use poles for. Mine went into a rough kind of pergola holding up a mass of Parthenocissus henryana and it lasted ten years. Apparently has some kind of anti fungal thing going on within the bark. There’s a lot to be said for pollarding in general, I think sticks are a wonderfully useful garden commodity. Love your work John, always learn something.
I know what you mean about Sanguisorba. I’m willing to stake, since there’s something quite magical to me about the strange flowers floating in the wind.
I lost a whole beautiful spread of white geranium phaeum from a border overrun with buttercups; worse - I carefully showed my son what to lift and pot. So I bought a new plant, kept it in a pot, and haven't had a white flower since. Thanks for that John!
Don’t know why I’m watching a video on my actual job! but I think it’s because we have the same energy and enthusiasm towards gardening and visual landscaping! Loving your work as I love mine! Xx
I find that many weeds sprout up within plants the look very much like. Must be a scientific explanation. The thought of removing that huge buddleia! Here in central Indiana we grow them as annuals about 3 feet tall if you’re lucky.
If you want to grow a non flopping sanguisorba I have a variegated one that is only a few inches tall and then add on a few more inches when it is in bloom. I have really been enjoying this latest series of your videos, JL and D. You are a really funny man and it makes it such fun!💚
My sanguisorba was also very floppy and I cut it back. I’ll probably dig it up next and plant it elsewhere. Now is a good time to evaluate what worked and what didn’t. Taking pics helps with this too.
Dear John, When you say creeping buttercup is a good plant in the right place, where is that place? 🤣 I brought some manure into my garden last year and I’ve been battling creeping buttercup since 😭 What’s your advice? I can’t dig out the the border as I’m not fit enough. Is it good enough just to dig out what I see as I go? Thanks 🙏
My deep sympathy. I have lived here for nearly thirty years and this spring that pernicious weed oxalis entered my garden in some soil improver. I don’t think I can ever get rid of it now.

Phyllostachys vivax sends up runners often a good distance away from the main plant but not very many, so it is relatively easy to control. I find actually that the less invasive Fargesias can be more difficult to control because while they don't throw out runners very far from the main plant there is far more of them.
I would have kept the buddleia and chainsaw the gum tree.. awful trees the root system will eventually kill surrounding plants they hate competition and nothing will survive.. the leaves are toxic too kill plants.. gums are notorious for dropping branches

This is what you call adult gardening, practical, sound advice with doses of humour! Thanks John!

Had creeping buttercup self disguised in my geraniums too John. Didn’t spot it for a couple of years!! Good fun again John
Brilliant post as always ! Lots to learn from you and very fascinating to watch a seasoned gardener at work + funny side comments !🤩🤣

I enjoy learning so much from your experience. Even though we’re in Queensland, Australia, I can still glean much knowledge so thanks John.
Thank you Mr Lord, all the pruning tips I can get to better my garden 🪴 are always welcome.
Entertaining and educational at the same time. Particularly enjoyed the buddleia wrangling!
Hi John l never get tired of you talking you always make me smile Sheila Chester
Fascinated to see a snow gum outside Australia! One of my favourite natives!😍

Thanks, John for sharing all these wonderful videos with us I get so much enjoyment watching them.
I was out admiring your gardens and the nursery today John, what a pleasure 🤩

Endless knowledge. Thanks John!

Hello Mr Lord and David lovely to see you, great video as usual. 🏴
Well done David & John ..... oh the quest for the wrinkle free designer shirt!
I saw a baby oak tree next to the large leaved plant, to the right of it
I've got a lilac that went cuckoo and spread all over. Not sure how I'm going to get it back to the main plant. It's pretty tough clay soil.

Love your work and your enthusiasm John!
I've learned so much from you, my favourite youtuber 😉
🙂💚👍
You are a treasure
Hello, John! Do you grow your phyllostachys without a root barrier and just keep on top of it by pruning or is it perhaps less vigurous in Ireland?
Phyllostachys vivax sends up runners often a good distance away from the main plant but not very many, so it is relatively easy to control. I find actually that the less invasive Fargesias can be more difficult to control because while they don't throw out runners very far from the main plant there is far more of them.
I just planted some F.scabrida ... Hopefully not one of the ones that is very hard to control....?
Why do you not have ads on your videos? You need to have ads to get paid for your information and work making the videos.
being ADHD I can relate to talking too much
