It feels like it hasn't stopped raining here this month, but we are are still carrying on and are finally getting some plants in some of the more neglected borders in our cottage garden. These borders are pretty shaded in the Summer, so we've chosen plants that should still flower here.

1:26 I have been gardening for 50+ years here in Ohio since I was in in my nappies as you say in England, so I know that long July days+abundant moisture=very rapid growth including weeds and grass, making it very difficult to keep up with everythingg. As regards overcast, wet weather, in my opinion, that is best for photography as there is no overexposure and "roasted" looking images from bright sun, and rain droplets on flowers and leaves has always given me a feeling of timelessness, ancientness, lushness and exhuberance. I love to see rain droplets on plants. 1:49 "......felt so overwhelmed....". Yes, I have been there, in my wood sculpting projects as well as gardening, I finally got out of that groove and began to just focus on perhaps 10% of what I really wanted to do. Oftentimes, setting that low goal, created the momentum to make better progress through the project that I had anticipated. I learned to set modest, realistic goals, that way I was not disappointed with myself, and did not feel overwhelmed. Good for you to share these sentiments though, it is part of the learning process. And the goal, really, is to create heaven on Earth. 3:29 The ducks ARE adorable! 5:59 Winter interest, when will I EVER get a pait of holly bushes planted? One of the few beautiful sights in winter is holly bushes, with clumps of half melted snow on the leaves, with red berries and red, male cardinal birds perched on them. Year after year I continue to watch my neighbors long row of small, but 10 years old holly plants that he planted to seel, I keep waching for red berries, because hollies are male and female, if you get the same of each gender therewill be no berries. there must be a male and a female. Perhaps the deep shade of a northern exposure is preventing his from fruiting and blooming. 6:25 Also it is good to sustain your local growers for their efforts, we vote with our money, if we buy locally produced, we are voting for success in our own vicinity, if we buy from a foreign nation, we are strengthening that nation and not our own country. If we succeed in creating heaven on Earth at our home, then we have no desire to leave and go into town.

I saw your soil and my jaw dropped. I’ve never seen soil that perfect in my life. It’s like potting mix!!

@cristinamaria2059 10 ай бұрын

Definitely go for the snowdrops in all borders! They're possibly the most joyful spring flower, although a bit tiny and have a limited life...Hence and therefore it shall be a great idea to match them with daffodils , so you couldn't be more right than that!

I too love Japanese Anemone, those are gorgeous. I think Paper Whites would be lovely along the edge. Love the ducks too.

So jealous of your anemones and hellebores. 😊 It looks so green and lovely there. I hope for cooler weather here soon as it is so hot and humid lately.

Digitalis -(white flowers always brighten a shady corner) also you could try lysiamacia candela again white flowers in August, can be a bit of a thug though.Have just found your channel, so plenty to catch up on, cheers from a wet west Yorkshire.

I’ve just ordered pheasants eye narcissi for my shady border, I like white against green. I tried tulip spring green but they just never came up….loving the plants you’ve chosen. The anemones will spread but they are easy enough to pull up and relocate.

The roots on the Hellebore should be scarified before popping it into the ground...for bulbs I love narcissus and there are some Lillies that can take some partial sunny spots and look magical in a woodland setting..

When you have a hosepipe ban, can you water with a bucket if some plants are newly planted?

Water butt is the answer, every gardener should have one.

@bobbilynnmiller742 10 ай бұрын

Since the Hellebores and Japanese Anemones need shade , do Hydrangeas handle full shade as well ? Or do they need some sun ? Just curious about planting them together?

@KatesGarden 10 ай бұрын

It depends on the type of hydrangea. Panicle hydrangea like these ones prefer part to full sun. There are also other hydrangea that prefer more shade. There’s lots of options! Hopefully these ones will get enough sun in this location since they’re taller than the other new plants 😀👍

@monalogue 10 ай бұрын

It’s semi shade here so I think they will be ok 👍🏻 we already have some opposite and they are in more shade there and still flower - fingers crossed!

I planted two limelight varieties that get afternoon sun for a few hours. They are always flopping into the ground. Drives me crazy. I think before I move them to a sunnier spot, i will try pruning to develop stronger stem structure to hold the giant blooms up.
