I can sympathise with your sister feeling like slug farm and deer feeder! They eat everything in my garden. Roses, fushia, raspberries, gooseberries, in fact I have very little left. Her garden is amazing.
I have the same problem. Deer, squirrels, birds and slugs. 23/24 will be the year to get to grips with ways of keeping them out. I use slug pellets, but only under cover so the birds don't eat them. The slugs disappear underground to die. The deer were also eating our plum tree, which has since died and waiting to be taken down, sadly. It had canker, which is a bit of a problem in these parts. Deer seem to particularly like roses and variegated laurel. If they get to the strawberries, it's carnage.
Wow - I absolutely love the terrace with the grapevine hanging overhead! Simply sunning… Herman is a great feature too ha ha! Thank you Johanna for sharing :)
You were like the paparazzi there Jess, chasing poor Herman round the garden. It was pretty obvious the guy wanted no publicity! Lovely garden, thank Sis for letting us intrude.
You and your sister are gorgeous!!! I’m extremely impressed with her BEAUTIFUL GARDEN ❤️😳❤️ Much love from America 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸 I can’t imagine all the work that it takes to have such an impressive garden!!! 🦋🦋🦋
You could be anywhere in the world sitting in that beautiful garden! 🥰😊 I always get excited when you pop up with another wonderful video! 😃Thank you for sharing 😊
Oh wow, green fingers obviously run in your family! Johanna’s garden is absolutely gorgeous 💜 No doubt she is already obsessed with Herman 🐢, only Tort owners grow weeds 😂🙈 yes, I get excited when I spot dandelions popping up everywhere (Hugo loves them!) Those grapes‼️ What a beautiful place to live xx
🙋hi from Scotland hi Jess thank you and your lovly sister for letting us walk round her garden it is beautiful just my kind of garden her wee tortoise 🐢 is so beautiful he will have a wonderful live living there oh my god I would need a couple of gins after stepping on a dog with bare feed
Herman & Roy are just too CUTE!! Love them!! Johanna has such a gorgeous garden!! I'm sorry for all the slugs tho. That's so sad!! 😞😞 Thanks for letting us see your gorgeous garden!! And yes, deer absolutely love roses, thorns and all. Crazy buggers!! We have a rose that keeps getting eaten. *sigh* What about some black oil sunflowers? Those get like 6-10 ft tall. They are beautiful too.
5 to 6ft tall - check, pretty - depends on who you ask, colourful - check (bright ginger hair), I could go in that spot but I don't like the sun. The tortoise is really active, shows what futher down south and the warmer weather probably does for pet tortoises. Ginger cat!!
Oh Wow what a beautiful garden Johanna has! Those grapes are amazing! Fabulous tour, I love sneeky peeks around other people's gardens, such a treat! She's an amazing gardener, I love Herman too. 🐢 Thanks for the great video Jessie, and my suggestion for the tall pretty plant is a Lavatera bush or Buddleia. Lots of love to the Hodge-hegs! 😆❤️
Your sister has a gorgeous garden. Malcolm Kingswell gives his brassicas a shake and the caterpillars fall down lol it works I tried it as long as they are big enough that is. 😂😂 it looks like grass I would be pulling and complaining. Holly mackerel he’s speed demon now he would give the hare a run for it’s money. 😂🤮 shoes is key to slug avoidance. Yes I agree Rose of Sharon (what your calling Hibiscus we call the indoor version Hibiscus and outside Rose of Sharon) I have a white one a pink one and a mauve one 😂 or perhaps magnolia I have a yellow one that is simply stunning. Well thank you for sharing your sister’s garden with us 🇨🇦✌️🐝 safe all
A Rose of Sharon would work in that spot where your sister is looking for something in front of the hedge. Largely pink flowers but often lavender as well and it keeps its leaves year round. Grows to about 10 ft but takes pruning well.
Thankyou to your sister for letting us have look through her garden. Lots of people seem to feel disheartened by this cool wet summer, I think we are seeing the grand solar minimum affecting the weather, let’s hope it does not go on for too many years! Yesterday I found a big fat contented toad hiding in the undergrowth, so some creatures are enjoying themselves and benefitting from all the extra slugs!
I feel your Sister's pain, bloody caterpillars 😡 I moved home in June, took 2 of my gooseberry bushes with me, they survived and were doing sooooo well. Netted them, mollycoddled them 🤗 went to water them this afternoon and WTF??????? nothing ( and I mean NOTHING ) but bare stalks. Overnight they have been reduced to skeleton bushes by, I suspect, flaming caterpillars. Looked dead strange, netting over 'sticks' 😂🤣 tis the nature of gardening I guess. Hope Miss Violet and friends are doing well 😍😍
Hi Jessie - please send a BIG THANK YOU to you sister for allowing us into her backyard - (le petit paradis). Awesome video. Thank you again for sharing with us.
Hi Jessie, love your sister's garden. Just a heads up, I work for Asda and the unwins seeds have gone down to 15 p. Pretty sure this is all stores but if any one does want ro buy some just check at the till to be certain. I have got broad, runner and french beans, radish, beetroot, cucumber, brocolli, rainbow carrors, spinach and buttnernut squash. Bargain 🥕🥦🥒
Hiya Jess and Sis, absolutely loved the visit! Yes you must film more soo much to see. Bless the wee tortoise not what I thought surprisingly guessed a hoghedge lol caught that one lol. Take care. Blessings to you and yours Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝
Lovely garden. For that space that needs filling. How about an amelanchier? It’s a small compact tree/ shrub but a real doer. White flowers in Spring, gorgeous lime green leaves that come next and then vivid autumn colours. Doesn’t get too big either. 🙂
Johanna has such a beautiful garden despite the disappointment with blight on the tomatoes and the barissacas being attacked by caterpillars (both are annoying). Please thank Johanna for letting you and your viewers see her garden. It is a excellent video Jessie and it was good of Johanna to let us see her great selection of plants. I like Herman the turtle making an appearance in the video.
Oh I feel empathy with your sister. My really huge crop of all sorts of out door tomatoes all have blight. The weirdest thing is we had much less rain than the south. I still have the polytunnel. It is sad though. I love anemones. They bobble around when it's cold and windy. Very cheery. Weird weather weird year.
Oh I love Johanna's garden, gorgeous! Been a while since I've seen a tortoise, how cute is he. Love the slug dance, I came downstairs in the middle of the night to get water from the kitchen and stood on a frog. It was the worse thing ever, took me ages to recover!! Just horrific. It was years ago and still haunts me. Thankyou for a lovely video Jessie.
Go Herman Go. There's a tortoise that's obviously been inspired by the Olympics! I don't know what your sister feeds him with, but he's clearly had his Weetabix this morning (other cereals are available).
Feet yuk !! Sorry never got to finish my last comment look forward to seeing you and your lovly wee mum back at your plot hope your girlies are still doing well take care Anne Scott from Scotland
Morning Jessie. Johannas garden was exactly how I imagined it would be. Beautiful. Herman is a star, wonder what the girlies would make of him lol. Have a great week all.
I'm in Palmer AK and we didnt have a summer either. It rained from July to sept when it started snowing....winter has been harsh and brutal even by AK standards. I'm hoping for a real summer this year.
I've lost 35 outside tomato plants, 6 different varieties. All through blight this year I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the ones in the pollytunnel. Such a lovely garden tour on a perfect summers day.
What a lovely, lovely garden! Thank you Jessie and Johanna for sharing. The sisterly love and banter was great, as were the glimpses of Herman and the marmalade tom cat. For plants to fill that gap, maybe nodding sage (Salvia nutans), Althaea cannabina, or Lobelia tupa?
Your sister has a magnificent garden. We are having another round of 95 degree weather again. I don't know if my little garden is going to survive it this time. I have just had my surgery and I am not able to be out there like I normally would be. Keep your fingers crossed for me if you would. Your sister has a lovely home and garden.
Thank you for showing us Johanna's garden in summer. I think it's wonderful. Did I hear you say hodge-heg? 🤔😂 another hibiscus would go lovely in the spot that needs some height I think. A mallow could work, it would flower longer than a normal hibiscus. A lilac could work well too.
What a beautiful garden indeed. I’d suggest a buddlejia for your sister. Although they can be a bit of a thug they are great for wildlife. Or maybe a lilac?
We grow tomatoes in the greenhouse because of blight. so as not to have a plague we close the glasshouse at night (windows are open but doors are closed) we open in the morning and we water it once in 2 weeks tomatoes yeast + water 100g yeast in 10l water or milk + water 1l milk in 10l water. No blight in any veggies.
Thanks to Johanna for the look 👀 around her beautiful garden. Jess there is so many seeds to be swapping 👍. Gutted blight has got to the tomatoes 🍅. They looked magnificent 🤗🥂
I rudely forgot to thank Johanna for allowing me to have a look around her lovely garden. She has my sincere sympathy for the blight and slug problem, they are both the bane of my gardening life, although on the bright side, I'm lucky enough to avoid visiting deer in my garden.
Such a brilliant video! I’ve realised I can grow pumpkins in containers (Crown Prince is the one you recommend isn’t it?) and your sister has orange thyme, which I’ve been looking for, and so I’ve been inspired to look harder! Thanks Jessie! 😊
Sorry about blight and slugs 😤 Here where I live on Vancouver Island we haven’t had rain since June 15th, so drought stress for us. Gardeners World, August 20th episode featured tall, flowering late in the year perennials. There may be some ideas for Johanna’s bare spot.

Good mesh for the 'hodge hegs' 😂
Loved watching this in February- so gorgeous to see the summer 🤩🤗
Wow - I absolutely love the terrace with the grapevine hanging overhead! Simply sunning… Herman is a great feature too ha ha!
Thank you Johanna for sharing :)
The garden is sooo lovely! Feeling very jealous of little Herman - living the life!
Thank you ladies for a lovely garden tour. I just love the terrace and the view of the garden from there. A great English garden 👏😁🦋🐞🐝
You were like the paparazzi there Jess, chasing poor Herman round the garden. It was pretty obvious the guy wanted no publicity! Lovely garden, thank Sis for letting us intrude.
Lol love your sense of humor Jesse 🤣
Great vlog. Thanks to Johanna for allowing us in.
Monarch of the Glen. I love that show
Maybe Herman will eat her slugs and snails 🐌
Beautiful garden! 😊🌸🌺🌻🥀🌼
I love seeing her container gardening, as I do the same. Herman is a cutie! Loved this garden
22:10 a red phone box perhaps?
The grape vine is really impressive!
Love the grapes overhead of the terrace ❤
It's awesome you and your mum AND your sister are gardeners!!!
I love my frogs and toads and tree frogs 🐸 ❤ my best friends in my gardens. Love tortoises but don't ever see any on my property 😕
Lovely video you never ever disappoint 🥰 your sisters garden is beautiful I’m sooooo jealous ! Take care xx
You and your sister are gorgeous!!! I’m extremely impressed with her BEAUTIFUL GARDEN ❤️😳❤️ Much love from America 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸 I can’t imagine all the work that it takes to have such an impressive garden!!! 🦋🦋🦋
That Hibiscus.....OMG! Lovely garden, loved Herman and The Ginger Boy too. 👍
Lovely garden. You're both the spit of your mum 😊

It's beautiful 🥰❤️
Such a beautiful , rosy lady you are.
Magnificent spot indeed🌱🥂
Lovely garden amazing Herman no's ull eat just about anything so he's of lol.x your sis has a stunning place regards to her x
Gardeners are artists. Instead of paint, they use plants. Instead of a canvas, they use a plot of land. Their artwork is ever changing and always new!
A Rose of Sharon would work in that spot where your sister is looking for something in front of the hedge. Largely pink flowers but often lavender as well and it keeps its leaves year round. Grows to about 10 ft but takes pruning well.
Yes! Or an elderberry? Sunflowers? Tall marigolds?
Thankyou to your sister for letting us have look through her garden.

when you stood on the slug, hahahaa, properly had me laughing. johanna has a beautiful garden though. those grapes!!!
hodgehegs, that was cute!

Wow! Now I see why you like sitting where you were.

Loved it Jessie, made a lovely change, loved the garden, great cottage garden 👍😃😉
We had tortoises and they love sedum leaves…what a joy to see!
Beautiful garden.
Yes the Alchemilla water thing is true! It’s the dew that gathers on the leaf that was used!
Looks amazing
Love the flowers
What a stunning garden your sister has Jess , a clematis in a large pot with a god support would look good in that spot
Oh I love Johanna's garden, gorgeous! Been a while since I've seen a tortoise, how cute is he.

Go Herman Go. There's a tortoise that's obviously been inspired by the Olympics! I don't know what your sister feeds him with, but he's clearly had his Weetabix this morning (other cereals are available).
Beautiful Garden, thanks for the tour.
Thanks for showing us your lucky down south were in wet Wales wish we had your sun ,nice garden .
The incredibly athletic Herman is a cutie pie. What a lovely place for him to explore! Beautiful garden.
I don't know why, but I like all these self-affirmative head nodding, like at 25:43
'Herman' - a suitable name for a tank animal 😆
Feet yuk !! Sorry never got to finish my last comment look forward to seeing you and your lovly wee mum back at your plot hope your girlies are still doing well take care Anne Scott from Scotland

If my garden looked this awesome, I’d be a proud one, I would…
Japanese Maple would look pretty in that spot.
What a lovely vlog and garden, nice that you got time to share some time with your sister, very well presented as usual young lady. Cheers
Nice video 👍
Thank you both for the lovely garden tour so wonderful. Herman is gorgeous and super speedy 🐢🐢🐢
Gorgeous garden!
Your sister has a magnificent garden. We are having another round of 95 degree weather again. I don't know if my little garden is going to survive it this time. I have just had my surgery and I am not able to be out there like I normally would be. Keep your fingers crossed for me if you would. Your sister has a lovely home and garden.

Hedgehogs are so cool
Nice pilant
Hey Yo! I found Oxytoxin from thisyou've got the traction. Great effort!! Magnificiently. 😆

They looked magnificent 🤗🥂
I use mosquito netting over my brassicas and no longer have any issues with caterpillars

Johanna you live in a beautiful garden so peaceful, sorry to you both it’s been such a devastating growing year.
Such a brilliant video! I’ve realised I can grow pumpkins in containers (Crown Prince is the one you recommend isn’t it?) and your sister has orange thyme, which I’ve been looking for, and so I’ve been inspired to look harder! Thanks Jessie! 😊
Such a lovely garden, my radishes have done really bad this year think ive had a grand total of two haha.
What about a few canna lilies?
Sorry about blight and slugs 😤 Here where I live on Vancouver Island we haven’t had rain since June 15th, so drought stress for us.
