I saw a few gardeners on TH-cam raving about a Hori Hori knife so of course I had to buy one! It's been so useful for planting my bulbs but I have to say that I like the look of your new tool. I thought I'd bought a lot of bulbs but you've outdone me! Great video gentlemen.
Ooooo I’ve never heard of a hori hori knife… you may have just made my Christmas wishlist even longer 😅 And these bulbs were a gift from our friend at blomsterverden (a fantastic online shop for bulbs, etc) - so we’re super excited to see them next spring 💜
Hori hori is perfect for dividing perennials..the knife is serrated on one side so you can 'saw' thru and cut your way through the mother plant and make more even sized divisions
Great video! I want one of those tools too Lars. Unfortunately, I have stony soil so planting my bulbs with a trowel was a challenge! I LOVE the idea of mixing the types of bulbs in blocks around the garden - I shall be pinching that idea for next year. I am impressed with how much thought you put into where to plant. I hope you're well.
Interesting how bulbs are planted! By the way , loved the dig on south texas 😅😅😅. Here in South Texas we don't get any chilling hrs for tulips or other northern bulbs. Lots of ginger and canvas, rain lillies and louisiana swamp iris , tons of day lillies and crinum. I'm sure it's going to be gorgeous when they come up.❤❤😊
Thought you'd like that Texas mention 🤗. I've seen, never tried, putting northern bulbs in the fridge to get those chilling hours. Seems like a lot of work tho. And you have a whole list of beautiful things to grow anyway! 😍
I can’t grow a lot of bulbs inSydney, Australia. However the ones I can I Throw on the lawn and garden and plant where they fall ( taken from Gardeners world). It looks more natural. Some fall in bunches and some in singles, gives a great look, especially in the lawn. I enjoy the videos, thankyou
We thought about that throwing/natural technique... but opted to not do it. We worried the small ones especially would just get hidden if they landed in the middle of the bed. How goes your spring/summer so far? The garden must be coming along nicely!
@@perennial-garden we have had a warm winter and now spring, what can I say. Every thing that should start to bloom now, has been blooming for weeks. The government is saying we are in for a very hot summer with little rain. We already have bushfires in Queensland and New South Wales. I am not complaining though. That’s life in this country, yours with the cold winters must be maddening. Autumn winter and spring are when I do most gardening. I stay indoors mostly in summer 😂😂
@@sydneygardener540 Crazy! We had the driest summer here in history here, too. AND the wettest July in 20 years. So yeah... the world is changing. And yeah... our winters are maddening... the dark days, long nights, constant rain... i get sleepy just thinking about it 🤣
How much freeze do you get in Denmark? I get contradicting information about anemones and whether their bulbs overwinter in freezing temperatures. I am in zone 7 and thought that we can plant anemones only at spring.
Our area here on the coast is equivalent to USDA zone 8a. So we plant ours in the autumn (and we don't soak them before planting). For our area (and USDA zone 7 and up) the corms can be planted in the autumn and survive outside with mulch if the temperatures drop too much. In colder areas, like mid- and north-Denmark or USDA zone 6b and below, anemones are best sown first in a temp-controlled glasshouse or just wait until early spring. But you're right... temperatures below around -4°C will cause them to freeze and then rot when they thaw out.
@@perennial-garden thank you for the answer. I am in Hungary and our area is closer to USDA Zone 7b - so closer to Zone 8, also we don't get that much rain and barely get any snow during winters. I think I will try with some bulbs and thick mulching to see whether they survive. I know that anemone blandas and anemone hupehensis/japonica are fine, it is only anemone coronaria which is in question. Do the same principles apply to ranunculus?
@@tundehadnagy2744 You could try planting them now (with the same mulching that you're using to protect your anemones). For zone 8 and up, planting them now is fine. Anywhere colder, and holding off to early spring is probably the best idea. Everything on your list sounds beautiful! Please let us know how they come out next spring 🥰 We're cheering them on from here in Fredericia!
He had such a smile over the auger drill. It made me smile as well. Love it.
😃 he loves it! And it’s new to us… we’ve always dug them by spade until this. We’ve officially upgraded now 😂

@@mapndo2337 It's on my wishlist this Christmas already! Hope Santa is real.
The garden is going to look GORGEOUS in the spring! 😍😍
we sure hope so! all of the little Lars's went in the pots ;). haha
@@perennial-garden best to keep the Lars contained! You never know where he might end up!
HA! I've been saying that for years 🤣@@TrowelandError

Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement! We hope it'll look as nice as we planned ;) You never know with bulbs!
Great video! I always love watching your process. It’s helpful to see how you go about planning and implementing everything. Admiring from Dallas! ❤
Thanks so much, Sarah! Hope you and yours have a great new year. 🥰
So fun! I just got in from planting several hundred bulb by hand. The soil in NW Arkansas is too rocky for my auger. Have fun with yours.
By hand! That takes time… and makes the reward that much better. 🌷 What all did you plant?

How do you know where to stand?! Seems like there are plants everywhere 😊
I'm sure we're standing on something. haha. But they'll be fine... and we cut back a lot so we can see where to plant these bulbs.
