Planting A New Garden Space & A Week Of Garden Updates 🐝🥴🌺
Рет қаралды 3,914
Күн бұрынToday I am transplanting the contents of lots of my Spring containers out into a new space I’ve created in the garden, after removing a huge mound of Lamium.
But before that, I’d filmed an update every day last week which I thought I’d put into a video montage to share with you all:
Sun - rain
Mon - clearing the Lamium
Tues - dealing with a wasps nest
Weds - repurposing tomato canes
Thurs - ‘Santana’ Rose revival
Fri - Physocarpus ‘Magic Ball’
Sat - Pondwatch!
The plants I am transplanting from the containers are:
Carex ‘Morrowii Ice Dance’
Anemones
Heuchera
Heather
Ivy
Brunnera
Acorus Ogon
Hakonechloa

Hi Janette, trust you and Richard are well. I really enjoyed your quick fired clips , easier for you and an interesting change from your usual single take video. I'm impressed by your editing skills, especially the music interludes. You made me smile a few times , you are a natural comedian in a quiet way. Your garden looks lovely, your plant moves are creative and bold. We visited the RHS flower show at Tatton on Friday, we loved it. The sun helped, the tent flower displays were brilliant. During the day we enjoyed the live music, the various stalls and even listened to a talk on flower arranging! Impressed? Well we only sat in the talk to escape the sun but ended up enjoying the guest speaker on flower arranging! We bought a woven willow plant which needs planting still. Our new drive is complete now so replanting etc almost done. Enjoy the rest of the week. YEITN Steve

Hi Janette, I was a little late watching this week, as we are on holiday and I couldn't get a signal (only in Ireland). I once had wasps in my compost bin, one of those black bins with a lid. I opened the lid and sprayed fly and wasp killer in. The wasps were not at all happy and chased me to the back door. Luckily I got in the house before they got to me, but I was so frightened!! The black sprayed bamboo looks great, as does the climbing rose. Nice to have a free space to plant up. I like the Hydrangeas at the back too. Just along to the left you have a lovely orange heuchera, I don't suppose you know the name? Love the new magic ball plant. 😊 Anyway so glad to have caught up with this video. The whole garden is amazing and full of colour and interest. 😊😊😊
@TheEnthusiasticGardener Ай бұрын
Hi Pauline and I hope you’re having a lovely holiday in Ireland 🇮🇪 well I do know the name of the orange Heuchera, it’s called Marmalade and that is one of the best ones I have because it’s been in the longest of most of them and its still looking like one of the best I have, so highly recommended. And the new Ninebark is lovely isn’t it? I was wondering whether if I got bins with lids for my compost it would keep the wasps out, but reading your message it seems the answer to that is probably no, if you had them in yours. I think I might abandon the idea of trying to make compost. I’m still trying to decide. Anyway, I guess there are worse problems to have 😂 have a lovely rest of the week and thanks for watching on your holiday 👍😎🧡😊

Hello there Lindy, it’s normally hotter by now here but it’s been weird weather this year. Here in the UK it’s illegal to take wild frogs from their natural habitat, they’re protected, so that’s not an option. But you can buy tadpoles from a place I’ve found in Scotland (they breed them there) so I have that to fall back on. Unfortunately I missed the ‘tadpole buying’ season this spring and they were all sold out. Glad you’re going to do the bamboo stakes idea, I think they look really nice black, a bit like wrought iron. Happy Birthday too to your daughter! Take care and have a happy week 😊🧡

Oh yes, it is such a difference, I did feel bad sitting there in my coat when you are all in a heatwave, but it was early morning when I started and I did end up taking it off 😂 we are normally hotter than this by now though, it’s been a weird weather year so far. Hope you’re managing to stay cool 😎 and have a marvellous week 😊🧡

last year I had a wasps nest in a pot with a large plant in I left a candle burning 24/7 in the pot it was citronella I also sprayed wasp killer I got stung 4 times glad you have sorted your problem out with them have a nice week

Morning Christine, that’s a good idea with the citronella candle. Does hurt when you get stung doesn’t it? I hadn’t been stung since I was a kid and had forgotten what it was like! Hope you have a lovely week 🧡😊

Good morning Adra and thank you. I did see a couple of dragonflies (or could have been damsels - I don’t know the difference) circling the garden yesterday so that was exciting! They didn’t go to the pond though. Yes, I’m sure you’re right and I must be patient 😊 hope you have a wonderful week 😊🧡

Your garden is looking so lovely! My state, in the US, has been having such dry weather, and extreme heat. Today's heat index is supposed to hit 110(F). Which I think is around 43(C)? It's taking everything to keep my flowers and veggies alive.

Oh my goodness Colleen I really do feel for you all over there, it’s so difficult trying to keep all the plants going in such heat. I do hope you manage to have a reprieve and get done much needed cooler temps. You take care and have a very happy week 🧡😊

Hi Janette as usual your garden looks lovely so colourful, I also have a star jasmine I am thinking of repotting but can't remember is it multipurpose or ericaceous compost to use also what do you feed yours? I also have a little climbing arch shape structure similar to what you have it was with a rose when I bought it so great idea thanks😀
@TheEnthusiasticGardener Ай бұрын
Hi Chris, I just used what I had which was normal multipurpose compost, but I’ve just googled and it says they prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soil (mine is more alkaline) so we’d better not add anything acidic. Glad to have given you an idea for planting yours in your arch structure. Have a wonderful week 🧡😊

Hi Janette, if you ever have a wasp problem again there is a spray foam that's sold at hardware stores it comes out like canned whip cream. Spray the nest at night when they're at home for the night and in the morning they'll be in wasp heaven. It also works on yellow jackets. Disregard the sizing on the Ninebark tag, we have 2. One is supposed to get 3 ft. tall and it's 6 ft. tall and the other is supposed to get 5 ft. tall and it's 12 ft. tall. The flowers are beautiful in the spring and even the spent flowers look nice, we leave them on until fall. I have a video short on my channel if you want to see what the flowers look like. I finally knew the music you played : Putting on the Ritz. We finally had a break in the weather yesterday 80° F , but it was pouring rain. It supposed to be in the mid 90's again most of this week. Frog Watch 2024 continues 🐸. When they arrive I think I'll be as excited as you will be.
@TheEnthusiasticGardener Ай бұрын
Good morning to you! I will definitely have a look at your Ninebark and I did think where I’ve put it is not going to be suitable if it gets big. I was kind of comparing it to my other Ninebark which I have had for a few years and never gets much bigger than 2 foot but of course that’s a different variety. Thanks for the wasp treatment idea, I think I will get something, always handy to have just in case so I’ll do that. Oh yes, Putting On The Ritz it is 🎶 and thanks for sharing my 🐸 enthusiasm 😂 Hope you have a wonderful eeek 😊🧡

Hi there and thanks for watching! I bought mine from my local nursery which is called Hillcrest Nursery along the A128 at Herongate which is just outside Brentwood, Essex. I didn’t realise they might be difficult to find? I hope you can find one, they are lovely. Hope you have a great week 🧡😊

Hi. Just a thought, couldn’t you use your green wheelie bin as a compost bin? The wasps won’t be able to get in that because of the lid. I’m always sad when I see my neighbours green bins getting collected when they could be putting all the nutrients back into their gardens. I use a large dalek type compost bin for kitchen and garden waste. It’s so full of hungry worms that anything I put in gets broken down so fast, it always amazes me.
@TheEnthusiasticGardener Ай бұрын
Hi Kerry it probably doesn’t look like it but those 3 bags are so full that I’d only get a small bit of one of them in my green bin. But I think I’ll do what you’ve done and buy 3 dalek ones (good description, I know exactly what you mean). I see them all the time on Facebook Marketplace really cheap. Thanks for your idea though. Have a happy day 🧡😊
@kerryfirehorse Ай бұрын
@@TheEnthusiasticGardener Yes! I got my large Dalek bin off marketplace for a fiver. Once the compost process is happening well, and if it’s in the sun, it breaks down so fast. I fill it up to the brim and squash the lid down, and within a week or 2, it’s less than half full again. I’ve been packing stuff in for 3 years, plain cardboard boxes and all, and it’s still not full. I have taken some compost out the bottom, but not a lot. It’s very rich compared to shop bought.

Morning J. Lovely video. Please tell me, your brunnera, looks like you have 2 different varieties? Can you tell me what the whiter one and the darker one are called please. Also if you could choose just one, which one performs best for our Essex conditions! Debs from Loughton ❤
@squirrelsarepeopletoo6678 Ай бұрын
Although we live in the United States I can tell you from experience that all brunnera perform the same so I would say get the one you like the most.
@TheEnthusiasticGardener Ай бұрын
@debwatts2035 Hello there Deb and thank you for watching. Yes, the larger ones which are whiter are called Sterling Silver - so gorgeous in the Spring with the frothy blue flowers. They are bigger only because I’ve had them longer. I think the smaller ones will get the same size eventually. The ones I planted today are Jack Frost and Looking Glass (no idea which is which!) but I cannot remember what the other smaller ones are now! If I had to choose my favourites then I’d go for the Sterling Silver because I know they do so well, but I suspect that any variety is going to be lovely. They do like the shade though so don’t plant them in full sun. Hope that helps and have a lovely week 😊🧡
