I feel like I’m now part of a secret society, where the members have the guilty pleasure of laughing at your jokes and happily just watching you dig holes or throw weeds away . What a joy.
I was going to attempt growing a spaghetti tree just to pasta time away 😉
As Mr. Rogers used to say "I like you just the way you are." LOL, don't worry about smiling into the camera. What you're teaching us is what's important. ️ ❤️
Love watching a ‘real’ gardener with a sense of humour. Quite the planting project needing a pick axe!!
I agree. Love his sense of humor. "I forget the name of this one here. What's it called?" Hehehe. And he definitely is the real deal.
I watch EVERY Episode. So make more videos LOL
I hope I will be able to visit Ireland one day and just stroll through your secret garden and say hello to you John…….
Love love love watching and learning from you.
Brilliant gardener. Thanks for the inspiration John!
Watching this video was so relaxing. Especially the gravel raking! Thanks John.
I thought the same! I could watch someone rake gravel all day 😆
Hey Mr Lord and David you're spoiling us, so nice watching you while having a nice cuppa, a few laughs and learning from the expert 😀. 🏴
I’m watching for sure..and grinning over your philosophical bits. Hello from Birmingham Alabama USA
Well done, your grass ended up looking like it’s been there naturally. I have to say I like the looks of the gravel surrounding it. Those were some pretty dark clouds up above you. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and knowledge. 👍❤️😊
Love these & John too.
Totally enjoyable….the jokes are right up my street! Garden looks fantastic John
Been watching long enough to say "Hey - I remember when you planted that garden!". Love that. Planted some asclepias from seed last year, and had it flower this year. A real sense of accomplishment.
Great to see yet another kiwi being added to your wonderful garden.
How in gods name did watching a man dig a hole become so entertaining.
I just removed 75% of the sod in my backyard and brought in 4 tons of 3/8” gravel. I’m in love with it and slightly obsessed with ornamental grasses. I laughed to myself when I realized I removed grass to plant grass 😅
Thx for the entertaining video 🌿✌🏼
Thanks John another great video!!
Another brilliant video John you make gardening so much fun thank you Sheila Chester
Would love to see a tour. Just tell me what I am looking at please. Thanks
Enjoyed your video, John, used to live in Trim near you in Ratoath, now in Madrid where gardening is not for cissies!!
I'm watching John Lord dig a hole for the last 20 minutes. No complaints here :)
Love your sense of humour John
“Gravel doesn’t grow on trees”. Another wise John truism! Delightful to hear the children in the background enjoying your Secret Garden. Ty
I've just been trimming Lavender, which would have been fine in that rich soil and gravel; a real pleasure vy seats too. 'lue Ice' a favourite, grows all the way on old wood and dense.
Good to see you John!
Throwing everything into the bushes, sharp felco and the general attitude , you are a real gardener, always fun to watch
No offense meant but I’d rather see the garden. John makes it look so easy. Experience really matters.
Really rather nice gravel that.
That was Grand! Bless your heart dear John. You are such a tonic with laughs on top. I have learned so much from watching and taking your advice. So many plants in my garden are a testament to that fact. Thank you.
Your the real deal John, great no nonsense gardener and so funny. I can often hear the guy who's filming you snigger! He does a great job filming you and keeping up with you!!
You've gotta love John! "No your honor, as far as I know it's always been there." 🤣
Thanks for the lesson on gravel planting. Yes your honor… you are hilarious. Keep ‘em com8ng John we can’t get enough!
Just found your channel. Absolute gold. You're an amazing presenter, thanks for the great content!
Keep up the good work John, I’ve planted some of your recommendations this year, love my Persicaria amplexicaulis , and my Joe pye weed.
When digging a hole in summer use water to loosen the soil,makes the job so much easier!
You should be on RTE ,,, learning gardening with a bit of craic the best way to learn....
Us home gardeners hate big pots for the same reason. I hesitate to buy a plant in anything bigger than a one gallon pot.
I’m very jealous of that gorgeous dark soil. We’ve added similar gravel on top of our heavy clay to remedy the mud after rainfall. 👍🏼🤍
I love your videos 😊
I love your energy! 🌿
Great stuff again!
You should sell bags of The Best Soil in Ireland in the shop. Just plant your spaghetti, add a handful of the Best Soil, water well for the first fortnight, and bingo! You'll have your own Irish pasta tree - guaranteed!
Too funny
How do you keeps weeds out of the gravel?
It's called a Toi Toi in New Zealand. Also, the New Zealanders don't care if you look at the camera or not!
John did you not put weed barrier under ?? if not why havent you got weeds !!! thank you x
Hi John
I like in my garden the Abelia grandiflora very much. Do you have this also and what do you think of this plant? Kind regards Jos
How to keep it from seeding alloverJohn
13:52 Is that a gardining glove? 🤣
But you aren't actually planting in gravel, but soil.
How do you keep your gravel weed-free?
Oh I want to go to heaven but I’m always digging holes.
Can anyone recommend a good hand garden fork mines always bending thanks
Please do something to stop your voice from fading in an out when you are walking about
Is gardening a crime in Ireland where police officers interrogates you about kiwi grasses in the middle of the gravel? John Lord's guide to planting so seamlessly it becomes a criminal act.
