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?

It's certainly full of flowers. If anything, a little too full I'm thinking ha ha. Have a great weekend your self as always. See you again soon. 🇬🇧🇨🇦🌸

I agree. and grow extra too.

Mine are never ending at the mo. I love it though!

You’re right I have some ripening on sweet peas I had in a vase.

This is why I said add your comment. Mine are never eaten. even the ones in partial shade. How strange! Could they be eaten by something else do you think?

I get mine from Home Bargains here in UK. They're really cheap.

@@JillBretherton thanks! I'll maybe try Poundland I'm taking your advice about starting seedlings now for next year 👍

Great. you will save so much money. I don’t have a poundland that close to me but they are bound to have them in there.

I actually do use sheets on the bottom but they have those elasticated corners now. And hello over to you in Texas. What a pleasure. Thanks for watching.

@@JillBretherton i really enjoy your videos, and learn from them even though our climate is different. And I LOVE your garden! I'm a huge animal lover too so I like seeing your dogs and cats and we also both love the birds. Sometimes I think, if we lived nearby we would be friends. :-)

@@lisaawild Aw, that’s so kind and being friends would be nice. What a lovely comment. I love seeing my dogs too. Every time I see them it’s a joy even though they follow me around all day. 🤣 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

🇺🇸❤🇬🇧

I wish I knew. Not only is it very pretty it so freshly scented like soap. It's beautiful but I bought it years ago, lost the tag and havn't seen or smelled another like it since.

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

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.

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.

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

Sweetheart 🥹🌿🥰

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

Certainly it can be potted up to grow on like any rose but I have heard that roses don't do well where other roses have grown before. To remedy that I would leave your new rose to grow on for at least a year in pot and enrich and compost the area you want the rose to go in. Maybe grow something else there for a year before planting it in the same spot.

Yes. I have Dahlias but havn't planted them out yet due to slugs!

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

I leave mine out as roses go dormant in winter and our winters aren’t that hard but if you have a particularly hard winter i would definitely protect.

@@JillBretherton Thanks very much. Am determined to give this a try.

They are definitely worth it.

Thank you for watching my videos. i am so glad they are helping. I just did one about 2 or 3 videos back (I can’t add links in comments you tube thinks it’s spam) but it’s basically about what to sow now for flowers this year. it’s called “sow these now June / July. They’re not all biennials but they all need at least one summer to grow before flowering the following summer, ie next summer.

Yes. They are nearly all in semi shade. They grow well despite what people say.

​@JillBretherton thank you. I was offered a Rise Up Ringo at half price yesterday (or any rose bush that was left) and I'm running out of room. I've positioned it where I think it might be happy and will see what it does there. I have gone from being afraid of roses to 19 plants in 2 years. Ludicrous really, considering the size of the garden 😏😁 I'm headed out to deadhead since it's cooler weather today.

Thank you. I bought 6 david austin roses 4 years ago, and only one is doing well. Can I move them ? as I think they don't get enough sun...they are leggy with very little leaf or flowers.

@@Debbieanne51 some David Austin roses are bred for part shade. i have one that thrives in quite dense shade and isn’t even leggy. Some do get leggy in shade though. So it would be prudent to check the variety. With my rose hedge it ranges from quite deep shade to part shade to little shade so I just planted roses in order of tolerance. Since putting up my pergola (increasing the shade) they have grown leggy but as I sell cut flowers I have found this quite useful. The point is roses can do well in part shade.

Yes i will update. I have just checked this morning (we’re having a pretty hot spell) and it’s still fine standing proud.

I haven't tried clematis in water but I have tried all sorts of plants that have worked so I don't see why it wouldn't. It's got to be worth a try. I have succeeded with many plants using water. I'd list them but it really is too many.

Great. Thanks for subscribing and yes do it the same way. I have done both a rambler and a climber this way and they worked fine.

That’s great I will definitely try this , thank you !

I find water pretty reliable TBH. I can put it by the kitchen sink and I have to pass it to get to the kettle for my morning coffee which means I am much more likely to take better care of it which I think is why it's so easy. I love propagating plants in water.

@@JillBrethertondo you have to change the water though and how long would it take for it to root? Thank you

@@lynguyen6019 I do change the water which is why I like them on my north facinfg kitchen windowsill. The worst thing about cuttings is forgetting them. I think that is why the water method works so well for me because every time I make a coffee or wash up or prepare a meal, they are just there. It's pretty hard to forget to take care of them then. I think this is a really important factor when propagating plants because they just will not survive if you forget them and they dry out.

@@JillBretherton how often do you change the water? Is it ok to live it outside? I don’t have North window so it will be too sunny for them to stay inside

@@lynguyen6019 For sure they can live out side. (If you have a hard winter bring them in then they will be dormant so you can put them anywhere as long as there is some light and I just change the water as and when I think of it which is pretty regular but not obsessive. Maybe once or twice a week.

I didn’t no but we are not as cold as you in winter and our frosts don’t tend to last long. Usually just a few days if that. Roses are pretty hardy but I’m not sure a baby would survive a prolonged hard frost so i would keep it somewhere more protected if I were you. They do go dormant in winter so you wont need to fuss it but I probably would err on the side of caution with a baby.

I manage that a cutting was growing nicely and then the winter was too cold for it. I should have taken it in.

@@gardentours Oh that's interesting. I left mine out but it was potted up and well rooted by then. I did advise to take it in over winter as a precaution so good to know. Thanks.

Get to it! Get those roses growing!

I cut 5 early in the week before the heat dome struck and will cut more in the morning to try in water. Fabulous! Btw, my sweet peas have survived the 40° heat and seem to be flourishing alongside the clematis and rose. Two ranunculus planted à la clematis, roots in shade and head in sun, are giving me flowers! My seeded annuals are thriving and I have a potful of V. bonariensis seedlings to put in ground, pots and share with friends. Thanks for your help and encouragement! Gardening is so much fun 😊🇨🇦

@@Lea-zf7lm wow you have lots going on and lots of success by the sounds of it. How joyful! Yes the roses in water is a great method. Works for me every time.

Yes I planted it from seed and the other good news is it has been largely left alone by slugs. It seems to be fairly bomb proof and the bees love it. So I would definitely give it a go. P. S my daughter is good. Just a bit shaken. Thanks for asking.

Great. Definitely use cardboard boxes. They are suprisingly sturdy. We have had a lot of rain this season and mine are still going strong

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.

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!

Depends on the plant. I did zinnias quite widely spaced apart and lifted them out separately. Things liks gypsophilia and some wildflowers I grew, I planted them out in chunks and for the salad I just left them in and am using them as a cut and come again crop which has been very productive.

That's it. That's the one.

Putting the plastic on my own was the hardest. If you have help it is easier. I have to say a year on and many storms later it is still going strong. So I think adapting it has been worth the effort. I don't have any holes in the plastic either. it's pretty tough. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching!

You are welcome!

They are cerinthe, honeywort. They are amazing! They have been so tough and have thrived in my garden. They also make an excellent cut flower and self seed. If you go to my June garden tour video 6.27 minutes in I show you the cerinthe. I can't recommend it enough.

@@JillBretherton Thank you Jill appreciate your help again. I looked for it this morning at the flower market but no joy. xx

Our pleasure! Loved that bird. Still think of the little thing. Hope he/ she is ok.

Did you lose it? I have had clematis not come up one year and then re appear in absolute glory the next year. Don't give up! I am so glad you are enjoying my videos. ☺️

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.

Good idea.
