Wasps - Friends or Foes?

Wasps have had a bad press but they have not done themselves any favours. Ruiners of picnics, stealers of children's ice cream, drinkers of dads beer. Would we gardeners be better off without them? Watch this short video to find out.

May I ask where you acquired the hydropod?
If you google hydropod you should web sites that sell them
great stuff...i have the big flowering mr president and warsaw in the garden..im going to buy a montana next year..lovely
Thank You for showing me, you can plant Clemtics in pots..Now I will do mine..Your Garden is lovely.. God Bless Princess Kate!! Love her and Prince William..❤🙏❤🇺🇸❤
Sir Can the Clematis grow faster from cuttings
@@t.narolaremy6608 clematis will grow well from cuttings. The seeds from clematis sometimes take a while to germinate, but because you don’t know what the resultant plants will look like, because they will have been cross pollinated, it is worth the wait.
Another good video Ken👍
@@paulbocking3397 glad it helped
Please make a video about how much water do we put inside or outside of the pot. Thank you from now
Great video
GOSH, my 'Romantika' is doing fantastic this year! I always very DEEPLY dig and prepare my soil, looks more like I'm digging a grave, have been mocked for the extent in which I go, lol .... though, it sure pays big dividends! Clematis really do love a light friable soil and deep root run!
Hi I wondered if you could help.im new to gardening and bought 3 mrs n Thompson.they are young have leaves on them but ive noticed the leaves are going brown and drying up.they are in multi purpose compost and i water them regularly and even feed them chempack.could they be suffering because of a lack of sun this year?any advise as im very disappointed.im hoping they may recover but no idea!
I’m a novice gardener and have just bought 50 clematis seeds I had no idea how complicated the process is.im just going to plant them and hope for the best!great content!
its not complicated really but good luck with your seeds. Depending which clematis they are from will determine how long they will take to germinate.
Ken i am so envious of your beautiful Clematis. I am following all your tips and my clematis are certainly improving! But one of my favourites, the spring Bluebird didn't do anything this yearsoi dug it up. After potting up the biggest bits of roots i threw the rest, soil and all into a pot. Is ti possible these shoots could be viable plants? What would be the best way to progress them please?. Hazel Luskin
I have no idea whether what you have put in the pot is viable because it depends on so many factors. atragenes such as Blue Bird are not renoun for new growth from roots. They usually sprout from above the crown, ie the junction wherer roots and stem meet. just leave it and see what happends is all that I can suggest.
From where to purchase these clematis vine varieties
It's been a few years - did any of these germinate?
Yes I got germinations from both methods.
Love your garden. I live in Sweden so very very cold in the winter, cold in the spring and short summer. so I hide them in hedges for protection. I might try some in pots. One is potted in pot but the roots have gone down int the ground after 20 years.
I am pleased that you like our garden and hope that you find the videos helpful. I am aware that many viewers have very different climatic conditions to me and have to make adjustments to the advice I give. Good luck with the pots
@@kenblackclematis8272 Thank you. Had to move one of them In order to build a frame, after the old one collapsed in a winter storm 2022. And it came up again this year so we see it. Was thrilled to bits. Once again, one can find some really good. channels. Yours is one of them.
Humko chahiye ye pauda kahase milenga
You just said 50 clematis wow. My hero.
My clematis Henryi has all top growth and flowers and about almost a meter off the ground I have no leaves and it just looks like dry twigs ,no leaves at all. What can I do to help it grow leaves and flowers down there again. Ty my plant is in the ground.
Give it a hard prune after flowering down to about a meter then feed it. Ne growth should then start near the bottom of the stems
@@kenblackclematis8272thank you
Hi Ken, Just found your channel and loving the content. I’m curious but are you Adswood in Stockport? I’m only in Denton and new to gardening due to forced retirement
Hi Stuart. Hope you enjoy your retirement. No I don’t live in Stockport but near Chester. Ken
Loved this video, practical with good helpful advice, unlike so many others that waffle on indefinitely. Thank you, a man who knows his onions! 🙂
Good job Ken
Keep up the good work
Why are your flowers are beautiful I love the striped one I have a question doesn't your flowers your plants get root rot from staying in a container I'm new to gardening and so I hear negative things about oh be careful of root rot
I am sorry but I have never heard of root rot. What is it please?
Be very helpful if the name of the clematis would appear on screen.
In what way would that help Lee? Have I not named all of them verbally?
I just subscribed, and am so happy to have found your channel. I have failed😅cg with several Clematis that were bought locally and have a few that are GREAT such as Henryii which is blooming right now, May 13. Others such as Sweet Autumn Clematis disappeared for 3 years and then came back to cover our deck support and fence 2 years ago. That one is in hot sun from midday until sunset. The Henryii only gets morning sun. Another gets filtered afternoon sun and is climbing up a large Hinoki Cypress. When shopping for Clematis, I find every tag tells you to plant it in full sun! That certainly is not good advice. The tags don’t tell you which pruning type it is, so you must know to do your research on that. Nor is there info given as to the different types of soil that different types need to thrive. I am in zone 5b in the Hudson Valley, NY with very clay and rocky soil. I amend accordingly. We get very hot summers and wet and cold winters. What comparable planting zone would your garden be classified to be in? That would be helpful to USA viewers. This video was a great learning experience for me, and I may go and purchase 2 Clematis that I spotted at a nursery a few days ago. But, is mid May the best time to plant?
I am pleased that you find my videos helpful. The whole of the UK is in zone 6-9. Like you we get wet winters but not the snow that New York gets. Our summers are not as hot either although the temps are usually 60 to 75 degrees. This probably does not help you much. Clematis are tolerant of most temperature variations however.
Any time of year is good to plant as long as your clematis has a good root system and is not one of the very small plants sold in places like Walmart etc. look at my video on Supermarket Clematis to see what to do with young small ones.
These are probably 2-3 year old plants. One that I loved was Nubia. They are between $50.00 and $90.00 here. Therefore the “ thinking about it phase”. Plant prices are much higher here this year than even last year. Fortunately, I increase my plants by rooting them and growing them on and then trading well established plants with other passionate gardeners😁
Amazing clematis ❤!
Whats grit?
Hi Ken, I have a fence about 20m long that I'm thinking of using armandii apple blossom as a wall of Clematis, planted in bottomless pots using your method here. I wonder, could you please tell me how far your armandii spreads or how far apart you'd recommend planting apple blossom?
Hi Ken just subscribed to your channel as I have laid in bed and thoroughly enjoyed your garden and the useful information you have supplied. Bought 3 Clematis this morning but will definitely take more consideration on where I will plant them..
The go to channel for all things Clematis! Very informative and educational.
You have given me a lot to think about. I really like the ideas you have shown in this video. Thank you for sharing.
💜
I have learned so much from this video . Thank you so much .now I’m to the garden centre with more confidence
I am glad that you feel that it helped.
Thank you so much for your generosity! I did download the information. Very valuable! Hopping for new videos this year.
I will do my best. Glad you find the information useful
Where does one purchase this particular HydroPot?
If you google hydropod you will find them
Thanks for your reply. I had looked but didn’t see the one you were using.
Just lovely! How do you remove old growth without killing next year's growth? Do you eventually need to prune hard and have a flowerless year? Thank you!
If you cut back a montana immediately after it has flowered it has time to put on new growth before shutting down for the winter, so you will not lose next years flowers.
Have you tried growing your Gillian Blades in a bit more sun? Mine has a gorgeous purple outline on each leaf. Mine is planted on the South side of my house under the overhang of my house with a volcanic rock over her roots. It's the clematis in my picture next to my name.
Brilliant...thank you Ken
Glad it was helpful
wow splendid info..im going to try this when my clematis are seeding
Glad this has inspired you to try. Good luck
@@kenblackclematis8272 bought the warsaw nike this year..its showing flowers beautifull deep purple
Best clematis video on CZcams! I am wondering how do you move a pot that was a bottomless pot? Do you need to rip roots? Thank you for this video!
Thank you for your kind comments. When I use a bottomless pot the idea is that the pot never gets moved so is wedged or part sunk into the ground. Use a pot with a bottom in it if you are growing a clematis that you may want to move
@@kenblackclematis8272 thank you for replying!
Why do you have a uneven path sign in your private garden
Because we open our garden and have some older visitors who might trip if not careful. Some paths are gravel, some paving and some lawn and there might be slight height differences in places
fabulous video. Thank you. Can you tell me if I can grow clematis Winter Beauty in a pot placed in a North facing position. My late mum had a climbing fuchsia in a beautiful pot with an attached obelisk. During the very cold Winter of 2022/23 the fuchsia died and I am left with a beautiful pot but no plant. I have looked for another climbing fuchsia to replace the one that died, but couldn't source one, so I thought C. Winter Beauty would be lovely as\ the pot is right by by front door, Thank you for your help and advice. Happy gardening 🙂
I am not sure about Winter Beauty. I live in North West England where the winters are damp or in respect of the last two, wet. Winter Beauty has not done well for me so I would not like to suggest it. Not knowing where you live I do not know what to suggest. If you give me more information I will do my best, however.
Hi. What kind of holes do you have in both pots? I live in Atlanta GA, and we get lots of rain. I am not growing clematis, but I have lots of annuals and perennials in pots. Looks like you have lots of watering to do. Thanks.
The large plastic pots have their bottoms removed with a saw blade designed to cut through plastic and for the ceramic/stone ones I use an angle grinder
@@kenblackclematis8272Thank you.
Thank you for this! I've been in two minds about pots vs ground, we have heavy clay that gets waterlogged in the winter and cracks in the summer. You've inspired me to try bottomless pots. Your clematis are stunning, thank you for sharing them!
I am glad to be of help
This video has inspired me to try my hand growing clematis. I need a day in the dirt to get out of the doldrums. Thank you for motivating me in this direction.
Goodvluck
Excellent and thorough information of clematis hybrids and clematis in general! Thank You!
Glad you found them helpful
Thank you for yet another really useful video.
What a joy to watch you in your garden! Thank you for a really useful video. Clematis are one of my favourites, but I now live in Ireland where it's often wet, so your use of pots has given me food for thought.
Do let me know if they help
I really like the idea of bottomless pot.
Excellent tutorial, even for an experienced gardener. Thank you, Ken.
