No worries, thank you for always being supportive

Thank you, and yes they are looking good, hopefully we will have a great harvest this year. How is the weather there now? Much cooler?

@@liensgarden301 got some rain and much cooler, had been unseasonably hot upper 90 f, I really hope autumn is setting in, have had my fill of summer for this year.🥵

That is still hot 🔥, sorry to hear that, hope the cool weather will get there soon. Stay inside during the hot hours if you can. I do too, don't like the heat, am not sure what will it be like this summer in our area.

Thank you, I hope that in a few more years I can have a lot of persimmon to eat because I have saved mostly for my daughter, she loves them.

Thank you, they are starting to fade now tho, it is a shame they are nearly finished for the season.

Thank you, and yes they are gorgeous. I can't wait to show you guys all the roses, fruits trees and vegetables from the garden.

Oh, my Saffron leaves are quite brown now, so I think they are going to be dormant very soon.

@@liensgarden301 that reminds me that my saffron should be up around the end of October, maybe some of the ones a separated will bloom.

Thank you, not much with the flowers. I did sow some lupins and delphinium seeds 2 years ago, after a years I have a lot of lupins now because they selfseeded, I just wait when they get a little bigger so I can transplant them to the areas that I want. I did sow pansies too, and the same they selfseed every year so I haven't had to buy any lately. I am tempting to sow some zinnias seeds but I don't have much room between the roses, I am afraid Zinnias will block the air flow of the roses. I sow vegetables seeds every year tho,.infact I am showing them to you guys very soon. Have you watched the video how I grow roses from seeds? And all the videos about that? Again, I will give an update about that too, they have grown so well.

How about you? Do you like to grow flowers from seeds? Which one normally you like to grow? Thank you for watching the video.

Thank you, me too can't wait. Hope yours are doing well too!

Thank you, that was very sweet of you. Do you grow Luffar? Have you tried it?

Thank you, so you have Elina too? I took your advice to get Coconut Ice. Thank you again. Oh by the way, so you have Governor Marie Bashir too? I hope it is a healthy rose.

@liensgarden301 I have just Elina and Coconut Ice. Elina is a lovely bloom and shrub, nice shape. My roses have just started to bloom...James L Austin, Mrs B R Cant, General Gallieni, and Rosette Delizy. My new bareroots are more advanced than last years roses, I guess it's because they have new potting mix. Anyway, I fertilised most of my roses today, just a few more to go :)

@celestegoulding1191 oh wow, none of mine in bloom except the one I got from Bunnings in the video. We are having such a warm spring, I am afraid that we will have a hot summer. So far, it has been very dry already, I haven't mulched anything yet.

@liensgarden301 yes, we had 30C recently and 29C today...too hot for the first week of spring! But I read that the long range forecast for sep-nov 2024 is more than average rainfall on the east coast, and the opposite for WA.

So normally I buy from Treloars roses online nursery in Australia as barooted, so some of the bare rooted in the video I got from them. I did try some other companies too, but I think this one always has better quality roses than others. For the potted roses you saw, I bought from Bunnings, our local hardware store, but sometimes I buy from a good nursery too. Where are you located if you don't mind my asking? Do you grow roses too?

Thank you, I can't wait to see more to come.

My tomato seedlings are getting a good high, I think I do need to separate them and pot them on soon, I think I will show you guys in one of the videos soon. How yours doing?

@@liensgarden301 about 4 inches tall hopefully they come to fruition before frost, even green I can pick and allow to ripen on the windowsill. Can't wait to see your tomatoes.

@oddball-z oh wow, mine are not that tall yet. It is so nice to have fresh tomatoes all the same even you pick them to have them ripen inside. All the best.

Hello 👋, thank you for watching 😊

Thank you, I hope you have been enjoying your garden too.

No worries, thank you for watching. Oh, how is the weather there now?

@@liensgarden301 HOT again high 90s F but cooler than it was, did get some rain hope it gets back to normal temperatures.

Glad to hear that you got some rain. We recently had very gusty wind, so far no rain or wet weather is predicted in our area, I fear we will have a hot and dry summer.

@@ericnyamu9981 thank you , thank you and thank you. I am so thrilled to see a lot of blooms in the garden, make me so happy ☺️☺️☺️. And I am so looking forward to seeing other plants coming back from the winter and producing the fruits as well. Thank you for watching.

Thank you.

Thank you for letting me know, do you grow a few of them in your garden? What is your favorite colour?

@@liensgarden301 I’ve got lots. Love them all 🥰. Blue is my favourite colour for flowers, but yellow is pretty too.

Thank you, I keep my seedlings inside today cause it is still so gusty outside. It is getting warm here, hopefully I can plant them out in few weeks. I normally plant them out in Mid October, but maybe will be earlier this year. Glad to hear your comfrey and sunflowers are doing well. I won't grow sunflower this year, I am thinking to sow some zinnias, I haven't grown them before, but again I am struggling to find the space to plant them.

Thank you, I am so looking forward to seeing all the blooms of the roses too.

Thank you. I live in Canberra Australia zone 9 A. Sorry to hear that yours is struggling, mine does a little black spots we have too much rain and humidity otherwise it is pretty healthy. I bought another one as barooted few weeks ago, I hope the new one will grow well too. I will keep it the area that has shade in the afternoon so hopefully the blooms will last longer. Hope yours will do better this year, thank you for stopping by to say hello to me.

Thank you. And I am sure actually, normally I don't have any cover plants underneath the Feijoas, only a few day lilies, and some random plants, I might just keep that way so I can easily go underneath to pick the Feijoas fruits. How about you? Do you use some sort of ground cover plants?

@@liensgarden301 I love cover flowers. Will probs get some more pansies and am encouraging the brachyscome to spread. Looking for more perennial plants. I wonder how prostrate grevilea would look

Thank you, I do love them , they are so pretty. How are your tomatoes plants? Mine are about 3 cm tall.

@@liensgarden301 mine are about the same size, hope they have a growing spurt soon, got a filter for my garden hose, I use city water and they put chlorine and fluoride in the water which isn't good for much of anything especially plants so maybe they'll start growing better we will see.

@oddball-z I use city water too, I didn't know about the Chlorine, mine plants seem fine, but definitely I keep that in mind. Hope your plants will do better.

@@liensgarden301 not sure if they do this in Australia (I think that's wear you are correct me if wrong) but you should check into it. Thanks again for sharing 💚

I think they do so I have to wait for a day before I put my fish back in the pond after changing the water. I will check it again, thank you.

I have to say it is Ericheer double daffodils, then hyacinths. Do you grow some of these? Thank you for watching ☺️

Thank you, you too. It is very windy day here today I might stay inside, not do any garden work today. What is the weather there at the moment? May I ask what season is it? Ours is nearly spring.

Thank you, and me too. Oh, some of my tomato seedlings have sprouted yesterday and cucumbers but others haven't yet.

No worries, thank you for watching 😊

That is a shame! Hope you will find some roses that have strong fragrance there. Do you grow a lot of roses in your garden?

@@liensgarden301 I have a balcony so I can only grow limited amount of roses but firefighter would be one I want since is thornless fragrant and flowers a lot!

Do you like white rose? Pop John 2 is highly fragrance and thornless too if you like white rose.

@@liensgarden301 that’s cool! I will put that on my list! I like white roses a lot too 😍

@yuyu24pika it is a beautiful rose, you will love it.

Thank you. How old is your nectarine? different variety might bloom at different time too. No I won't mind showing how I fertilize for my potted fruits trees, but it is very similar, I normally just use citrus fertilizer for my potted fruits trees.

@@liensgarden301 this is the nectarine’s second season. It probably doesn’t get as much sun as yours does in winter. I don’t mind a late starter though. So long as the fruit is nice 👍

True, as long as it produces the fruits that the matter.

Thank you, am looking forward to have some yummy nectarine again. Do you grow any fruit trees by the way? And so glad to hear that your Charles Darwin is doing well too.

Oh, Have you fertilized your roses yet?

@liensgarden301 I have a huge lemon tree with enormous lemons that a ringtail possum loves to eat...which is good because there are too many lemons for us. We recently got an orange tree, it's still small. Long ago, I had some flowering cherries, just blooms, no fruit. My husband grew up in Tasmania, they had many apple trees (yellow, red, green) plus several apricot trees and pear trees. They also grew raspberries, plums, gooseberries...and probably more, I can't recall them all. They made jams and stewed the rest. So, he has knowledge about growing many fruits well but the weather is not the best for fruit trees here. I see people in my neighbourhood growing some fruit ...but husband is picky, haha.

@@liensgarden301 I have not fertilised my roses yet. I will do it soon, I have it ready.

@celestegoulding1191 hahaha 🤣. I heard a lot of people in Sydney grow quite different types of fruit too, but of course you will have limited varieties to choose from.

Thank you for your lovely comment. So you grow a lot of roses?

Thank you. I am so glad that you did have some rain there yesterday too, the sounds of the rain just make everything in peace, and feel our life slow down a bit with all the things happening. Glad to hear your tomato has sprouted, hope you will have some fruits from it. Mine so far hasn't come up yet.

Thank you, I do like dry apricot but I haven't tried to dry ours before, have you done it? Is it hard to dry them? We got dehydrated I am wondering if it will work.

@@liensgarden301 I use my dehydrator after slicing them in half, maybe quarters if bigger and put in for about 24 hrs, always taste better than store bought and no additives.

Oh thank you for the tips, I will definitely try it this year if we have lots of apricot cause I last we couldn't keep it up with all the fruits.

I think the one you gave me had the purple flowers last year so I think it is The president. I hope it will take off this year, thank you again for the gift Vanessa.

I hope the pretty flower will distract the ugliness of the fence. the light purple bush that I didn't prune it this year, a few years ago I pruned it too hard and it didn't like it, so I tend not prune too much.

Thank you.

Thank you, I do love this time of the year, everyday I walk around both front and back garden to see if anything else is in bloom or not, or just a quick walk outside with my cat makes me happy. Thank you for always supporting ❤️

Thank you, I do love all the stone fruit blooms and daffodils and hellebores... I bet you have been out about in your garden a lot lately too. I think the succulents have been there for a year, I only put 2 or 3 little ones in there at first but after a year they have grown so big and multiply so well and frost hardy which is I like. But also this type the bird doesn't seem to eat them, I got another type the birds just keep eating them during the winter, I think I will need to pull those out to replace some cheerful pansies.

@@talfah I don't think it is Kookaburra, I think this one has smaller peak, he or she only come to my garden lately and I was so surprised even with my cat there and she or he didn't feel scared at all.

Thank you 😊, I can't wait to see all the colours again and have beautiful fruits from the garden. Do you grow edible as well? Or only oremental roses...???

I grow some veges & trying a few fruit trees this year.

Thank you. I looked at the Satsuma plum tree again today none of the flowers, they they're still all budding, while the other tree in bloom profusely, finger a cross I will have some plums from those trees.

Yeah, still bare there. I can't wait to see all the colour again.

Oh hello, it is so lovely to hear from South Australia. Where are you located if you don't mind my asking? I think the oblisk will work with the rose that needs some support, I find a lot of David Austin's roses tend to grow very long or tall canes and some the stems are weak or quite flexible to tight them or bend around the oblisk. May I ask what is the rose name that you talked about? Thank you for the lovely comment.

@@liensgarden301 Oh thanks 💕I’m in Victor Harbor, South Australia. And I’m thinking of putting “Mill on the Floss” on a timber obelisk. I love how you manage to squeeze so many roses in your backyard😍 I must do the same! Enjoy your week!

Yeah, it has been lovely here too, but I think mine roses are still coming out slower than yours and I only just finished pruning them.

I have been already busy, I will need more potting mix to repot those trees, probably do it when they finished blooming. I sowed the summer crop seeds today, hopefully they will come up soon.

​@@liensgarden301Yes you are definitely busy, guess I meant busier, can't wait to see everything in full bloom.

@@oddball-z thank you. Did you get some tomatoes this summer?

@@liensgarden301 no tomatoes never sprouted, way to hot and I planted to late, did plant some since it cooled down, so maybe I'll have some in late fall weather permitting.

Hopefully you will get some, nothing but homegrown tomatoes

You are welcome, I am please to hear that.

Oh thank you for all that. I didn't know perfume princess is the improve version of Odora, I do see Bunnings and nurseries sell it but I saw my neighbors bush, it grows quite big. I might get one when my next trip to Bunnings if I see it there. Do you know the name of the white cream one that I have in the video? I did a quick search on the internet but I am not sure, it might be called Odora Alba Daphne.

@@liensgarden301 I think it is, by the way Perfume princess comes in that common slight pink color but there is also a harder to find Perfume Princee white, compared to the common odora they are actually more bushier with leaves , making it a more compact look mines only about max of 40cm tall after 2 years and the older the more flowers it seems the scent covers my backyard.

Oh I didn't know they have white Perfume Princess as well, but mind you I don't have much room to plant them all, but if I see them at the nursery or Bunnings I would be tempted to get them. Thank you for all the information 🙏.

@@liensgarden301 Yes the white one is newer and probably harder to get - but very nice as the blooms pure white - Perfume Princess is actually the result of the hybrids Daphne Odora x Daphne bholua. It is definitly tougher and more flowering than regular Odora. But i find Daphne in general abit slow growing.

Thank you. So you have all of those varieties? The new version sounds lovely, I will keep an eye on the nursery.

Thank you for always being kind and supportive. I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT the weather is finally cool there, and your pumpkin plant is doing well, hope you will have a great harvest from it. What variety of the pumpkin do you grow? I grew pumpkin 2 years ago but I haven't grown back since.

@@liensgarden301 My pumpkins are called the big max, they're a pumpkin crossed with a squash to make them larger, but my soil is in need of alot mulch for nutrients, so I doubt they'll get very big this year. I will enjoy some roasted pumpkin seeds. 💚🎃 if the deer don't beat me to them lol

Oh I don't know much about that variety, hope you will have some anyway. I do like to eat pumpkins seeds, normally we eat them during Chinese New year, I do miss it sometimes. Thank you for the chat, hope you will have a nice day!
