English cottage garden catch up & 1st weeding Fri 12 April
Why do you need to trim the tops off? Will it work if I don't trim the top leaves?
By trimming the the tops it stops them losing to much moisture before they develop their own roots I hope this helps thanks
Thank you.
Can you use the female seed and pot it? Thanks x
I have never tried to grow them from seed sorry
Marvelous advice
So happy you enjoyed watching
Like watching paint dry.
Thanks that is a great idea for my next video lol
I successfully planted the individual bulbs in small pots and now have the big stocks grow but not sure next step to get to flowering stage. Searched endless videos and not one gets past the stock growing stage 😫 Can I repot a few now into a bigger pot and then what?
Also noticed the leaves have started to be eaten by something. Snails?
I start them in the pots they are going to flower in
Bit chaotic!
unfortunately thts is me lol
Wow well done m8
Thanks
I do a no dig
its a great idea and keeps the soil healthy
So to change the EU plug you cut it off and put a UK plug on 😅😅😅
You got it
Hi mate hope your ok, with my begonias, i alwayes get more leafs then flowers any idea why amd also can you prune the leaves? Cheers bud
which variety are you growing i always make sure i deadhead my begonias regularly sorry I can't be more helpful i also feed mine three days a week
Thank you
your welcome i hope you enjoyed watching and found it helpful
Can i collect seeds from a fallen down lupin stalk the pods are green??
The seed pods need to have turned a dark colour nearly black I hope that this helps unfortunately your pods sound like they are not ready
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing if i wait for the seeds to turn brown will they still be ok the stalks fell down in the wind and the pods are green i have kept them i was just wondering of they will still come up of i wait for them to dry off
@@katherinejones8799 as long as they are still connected to the living plant otherwise they won't rippen
@@_Happysowinghappygrowingthey have snapped off
Thankyou great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What is the best rooting medium to propagate hydrangeas? Do you use rooting hormone? Do you put your cuttings in a greenhouse or just in the shade?
I use peat free compost mixed with perlite it works well but a good quality peat free compost on its own will be fine good luck please let me know how you get on o I please my cuttings in the shade this time of year
Always love your garden. Greetings from Ireland ☘️
thanks hope the weather there is fine
This is awesome didn't know it was possible.
Yes it had saved me a fortune
What month is the best time to grow Aster from the seeds please
start 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date i hope that you enjoy growing them please let me know how they get on
I cant actually see where you are cutting as your pruners are off camera ..where on the stem do I cut ? And please , no offence, can you speak a little slower?
i cut just above a leaf node that is where the next set of leafs are in the stem sorry about talking to fast
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing thankyou for responding , I've got a nice patch , all in flower, I'll cut them as you advise.
Good luck
Your baskets are absolutely gorgeous!
Glad you like them! i love the scent
I don’t use secateurs to dead head my petunias. The dead flowers come out easily.
I use Scissors I find it gives a real good clean cut
Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Everything is looking lovely, love the white phlox😀🌼🦋
Thanks so much me too u love the beautiful scent especially in the evening
What kind of pesticide did you squirt on the lily bulbs?
bayer garden
What the hell was the point of this - we know how to spray but with what ?
sorry 😞 i must do better
Can you use a stone rather than a file?
You certainly can
Love your baskets, especially the lemon and purple😀🌼🌸🐝
Thanks so much! 😊 me too I can't wait to start taking cuttings for next year saving me lots of money
Lovely display as always❤👍
Thank you
What do you use and how do you attach it to the house for your climbing plants
i use plastic coated wire and depending on how much weight it is going to support weave several strands together i drill into the bricks not the mortar and then use 2 to 3 inch screws
No bare hands!!! Cmon this one is no joke Please wear gloves ❤
i always wash my hands immediately after touching them
Do we need to prune leafs before winter?
Yes cut down to just above ground level after the first frost good luck
I love lupins I was late at buying the plant this year they were beautiful red the bees absolutely love them they are so pretty. My question is I’ve cut them back today and took the furry pods off. I’ve popped open a couple and there is no seeds . I’m only new to gardening if anyone could point me in right direction . When’s best to put them in the soil do you just put them in where you want them to grow . Thank you 🌸
i wait until the seed pods turn black then you know that they are ready to harvest i have a video showing you how to collect the seeds i hope that you find it useful please let me know how you get on good luck 👍
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing Thank you I will try this .
I was recently told that beer traps actually attract slugs and snails to your garden. They can smell it from way off and make a beeline for your garden.
Brilliant so my neighbours can thank me flor getting rid of there slugs & snails 🐌 lol
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing that’s what I thought. I have enough problems with the slugs and snails of my own, I really don’t need to be inviting over the slugs and snails from the rest of the street for an all night party 😂
thats what i like about using the beer method at least they go out Happy lol
This is one flower I can sow and raise during June to grow. Another thing, do 90% of all flowers and plants grow fully in top gear during June?
sounds great 👍
Flowers look pretty, love the lemon petunias😀🌼
Me to I will definitely be keeping all my Petunias over winter and taking as many cuttings as I can ready for next year
Really beautiful flowers 🌺😊
i love petunias for there flowers and scent
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing I’m having a real problem with slugs I put copper round the pots they still got in the only thing that worked was beer in a pot I got some gold mesh to tie round the pots I’ll see how that goes even in my little greenhouse they ate all my seedlings that were shooting up so much rain here,yes petunias are lovely.
@@kimberley1195 yes the beer 🍺 in pots definitely works well
How do u take cuttings from petunias
@@BourneKerry I have a video showing how to take Petunia cuttings I hope that you find it useful please let me know how you get on good luck 👍
Thankyou,I'll give it ago
Good luck 👍
I've tried the pellets,worked at first,now not working,also I have pets,so I have to be careful
Sorry to hear that i have used an empty jam jar dug into the soil so it is level then pour in the bottom 1 to 2 inches of strong beer or larger them leave over night and like magic you will have lots of slugs and snails 🐌
Any ideas,how I can keep slugs,snails ,from eating my petunias,marigolds
if you haven't got pets o i would use pellets
Fabulous
thank you 😊
Love lobelia. Great presentation. Will it grow in 8B Zone/Atlanta area?
Yes it will
30% of my Farmer Gracy bulbs did not germinate the first year, 70% for this year, and this does not come from my soil because I have bulbs that have been in the ground for 20 years and are still flowering... I do not recommend farmer gracey....it's disposable
this is my first year ordering dahlias and begonias and every single one has grown brilliantly i can't recommend them enough sorry about yiur experience
Your Geranium is Geranium x oxonianum 'Wargrave Pink'
thanks i finally know it's name
That hedge is coming on isn’t it? We are heading into winter here now and had a really bad time this year with whitefly and earwigs then shieldbugs/stink bugs,still plenty of flowers and growth again though. I don’t want to spray but will need to next spring. My hollyhock seems to keep returning every year,hard to get rid of now but I love the self seeders. What are you spraying them with and for? Bugs? Rust? I have found buying poppy seed for cooking from Indian/Asian stores and tossing that out brings some beautiful flowers I didn’t know there were perennial poppies though I have hostas hope they come back when it gets warm here,they take a while to come on so hoping they do spread out. Have you found that to be the case? Forget me nots are lovely I just let ‘em grow where they choose and where I find them. I have some very new lupins I’ve put in and hope come spring they’ll do a good job. Please keep posting the lupins I’d love to see how they go. Cosmos self seeds for me here but they grow where ever they like and I just let them it can get a bit wild but I like it that way. They are trying to ban foxgloves where I am. It’s sad because it’s so beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more of you and hoping you pop up more regularly now I’ve commented And thank you! It is lovely to watch your garden come on as mine is going to sleep. Aquilegias are my absolute favourite,such a fairy flower. Those peonies are gorgeous !I’ve had some in for a while but nothing is happening Do you think I should move them and plant them a bit more shallow to get em to flower? I had to get rid of my ivy it was eating my house and coming in through the power points.
First i spray for lily beetle and greenfly and whitefly i also spray my hollyhocks for rust and my Petunias & lupins for powdery mildew it can quite a problem if i dont spray regularly i use a liquid i will have tocget back to you with a brand name sorry i love any flowers that self seeded i think it gives my garden a more natural look thanks for watching and subscribing it really helps my channel i look forward to hearing from you on my next video
Thankyou😀
You're welcome 😊
Hello! You often don’t show up in my feed even though I’m subbed and have notifications on but I have seen you today! Watching now excited for the catch up
Awesome! Thank you!
Do the seeds apear in the flower?
sorry i am not sure what you mean
No poppies planted😅
no not enough room unfortunately
Love the colour of the petunias, can’t wait to see them when they’re grown. I have just planted some sweet peas in a container, should I start feeding them straight away, I know there’s some feed in the potting soil?😀🌼
yes i do i never trust how much feed is left in the compost i feed mine twice a week with a mixture of miracle grow and tomorite good luck
My bracket just fell off. What are those exact plugs please?
i use masonry wall plugs drilled into the brick not the mortar
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing thank you, I didn't drill into mortar as it crumbles. Maybe I drilled too far, I am not really sure.
Good luck i don't know what to recommend it sounds like your wall plugs might be to small if they have pulled out of the wall
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing actually that was the screws that pulled out of plugs :/
So the screws pulled the plugs out then I would say you need bigger screws are you using the correct sized drill bit
Looking lovely, love those poppy’s😀🌼
Thanks so much 😊 me to
