I actually do have high fences and hedges but the real deterents are my neighbours who have created a barren no go zone around my garden due to their old fashioned gardening practices. From the upstairs window my garden is like an oasis in a desert. 🤣 Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. So much more to come.

@@JillBretherton Must get a hammock to nap outside on cool summer nights. Or days. Off to the next video.

@@LAWandCoach Absolutely!

That's great news! Glad you like it and thanks for subscribing.

Me too

Me too❤

Thanks for watching my videos and I am glad you found me too. Regards captions I do forget to add them sometimes but if you click the CC under the video (hover the cursor on the video so the bar shows) it should automatically add captions (although sometimes they make spelling mistakes). Hope that helps. Happy sowing 😊🌼🌻🌸

Sweetheart 🥹🌿🥰

I will update my blog on my website so you can read it online.

That’s Great. So am I 🤣🌼

it's all new to me! I will try harder next time. ☺️

Yes a tripod setup would be easier to watch. I'm also sensitive to the motion.

Please, yes, very slow and steady motion prevents seasickness in your viewers. I hung in only to find out what flowers…

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much. And thanks for watching.

I am so glad you enjoyed it. The campanula and honeywort were a triumph this year and I will definitely be growing both again next year. They just keep going and going. Thanks for watching.

if you have pets maybe you know….foxglove is very toxic for pets…they just have to brush against it…and if they lick their fur…

You are welcome!

Thanks for watching

They are definitely worth it.

I can. I just didn't want it to go on too long.

The delphiniums should be fine. The ranunculus might be mis timed. What zone are you? Ranunculus hate hot weather. They like to flower in cooler weather. You might have missed the boat with them. They can over winter for early flowering but the prefer later cooler summer to start growing for flowering the following spring early summer. If I were you I would dig them up if they haven't started to grow yet. Let them dry out and start again later in the year. Depends on your zone when though.

Yes. I think you are a similar climate actually. Well we are temperate you are hotter and more humid I think. All the plants I mention are pretty hardy. so I think you'll be fine. I just double checked your zone and yes they should all be fine. I did just double check that these plants can survive your winter temps and I can happily confirm they can. They are really tough! Good luck!

Yes fuchsias are great for shade actually. Honesty and the foxgloves would do best I think, as long as it doesn’t stay too dry. I’m guessing if fuchsias do well it’s humid so honesty and fox gloves is my recommendation of all the ones I mentioned.

Thank you. 🇨🇦🌹

UK south east. Zone 8-9 we don't really have zones in UK as we are just a small island with a temperate climate. It's not like the US where you vary vastly. I will try to remember though.

@@JillBretherton Thank you, Jill. It really is helpful. Yes I am familiar with the UK climate but popping it right out there off the bat could stop people from making mistakes.

What zone are you out of interest?

I am actually going to do a slug resistant plant video. I have been pretty good with slugs and snails since going organic but this winter and spring was so wet I lost so many plants including most of my dahlias. My honeywort, campanula, valerian, sweet peas actually, foxgloves and sweet rocket seemed to all be slug resistant. I lost all my sunflowers and dahlias though. I am putting together a more in depth video so watch out for it. I alwasy start them in trays (watch my stop wasting your money on plastic plant pots it shows you how I do mine) because I have more control over the young plants then until they are strong enough to survive. Your climate is probs similar as we are also quite dry in south east with bouts of torrential rain when we get it.

Good idea.

These flowers set seed during the height of summer and are naturally designed to drop seed and germinate during summer. Not all seeds need cool germination.

@@JillBretherton Good to know! Thank you!

I live in zone 9a. We're very hot. 105-115 is our normal range, so I start seeds indoors on heat mats in March so that I can put them out in April because by May we will be in the hundreds. The heat is too brutal by June and July and is hard on the little seedlings if they are in full sun. It's hard to keep the soil moist enough to germinate. Our area is dry. I don't know what part of the world you are in. I know zone 9 is also Florida, so that is different conditions. Our timing, though, is just different than more temperate areas.

@@GreenGranny yes in that case i would start them august September. We had a heatwave last summer so i did start seeds in September and the did very well, or like you say start them earlier and if big enough and watered enough they will tough out a heatwave.

It's called greater knapweed. Not to be confused with common knapweed. It's justs a beautiful natural looking plant and the bees and butterflies love it. It does not have thistles. The latin name is centaurea scabiosa.

Oh no. I always find birds eat my zinnia seeds. it’s a battle!

The vagaries of garden plants!. I think the camelot series of foxgloves flower same year but I wouldn't bother wasting time trying. Just sow them for next year instead. Strange about your delphinium. I wonder if something is eating it under ground. It's definitely not the cold killing it as they are so hardy. Yes snapdragons are really much hardier than people realise. Mine survived our winter too.

In the south east of england on average it gets down to -5c (23F) not for prolonged periods though. We don't really have zones in UK but I htink I am hovering between an 8 & 9 from what I gather.
