- TAKING CZcamsS ADVICE, THIS IS A RE-RUN AND RETITLE OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES THAT WAS FILMED OVER THE INITIAL COVID YEAR.
A gardeners world; Nursery, gardens, propagation, plants galore and all the growing tips that go with them. A unique weekly documentary series filmed throughout 2020. A must for gardeners worldwide.
Informative, irreverent, funny and totally without comparison. After a lifetime in horticulture, Malcolm Hockham and his young team answer The Royal Horticultural Societies 2019 article that the industry is in crisis. Not here it isn't!.....Malcolms final full year on the nursery shows you why.
A lot to get through this week. I won't put more than an hour of material in one post....that's a bloody feature film!....it might also get monotonous, so i've divided this weeks into two parts. I hope this is ok.
I found your channel by our luck and have been binge watching! Love the content.
Loved seeing all your propagated plants, thats gardening at its very best.
Iv been looking around my garden to see what i can try myself.
LOL Malcolm is right. Sister in law was sitting like Thomas and she flipped over backwards and smacked her head!
Starting to really look forward to these videos every Sunday Malc. I've had a cracking day in the garden today despite the showers. Spring is in the air and I've got hawthorn thorns in me arse from pruning them back. Hope you're well.
You probably need someone familiar to pull them out for you....Glad you enjoying the videos, there’s way to much this week but I couldn’t decide what to cut out, so kept a good deal of it. Best wishes.....Malcolm
@@plantsmanscorner128 She's a lucky woman my wife. Don't be cutting them down, I imagine they're so long because there's so much to be on with.
I felt your pain there John, I'm glad you recovered the situation in the end with the right board.
houttuynia, super invasive. You can’t kill that plant, runs underground and pops up everywhere, great video Malcolm!
Love the way you can potter about talking crap for a solid half hour or so. Love your work!
Thank you Robert.....I think that was a compliment. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to comment. Best wishes....Malcolm
Great video - no way monotonous - ever. Just to ask, is that Midwinter Fire, near to where Thomas was describing young delphiniums. I have a couple of white Birch trees - would look good together I think.
Nice clear span or Hartley greenhouse.
Please stop apologizing for the videos and keep making them.
I will Gabi......I’m trying to head off the complaints before they arrive. They annoyed me a few years back. It’s like customers....99.9% are lovely, it’s the occasional tosser that sticks in your head sadly......I guess that’s the same everywhere.....best wishes, Malcolm
Yes, well said Gabi. I love these video's. Just the right amount of everything and so informative.
Great series. Highlight of this vid was definitely the talking grouse. 'I dont think it's going to get shot...' 'Probably will get shot, it's a grouse moor.' Ha Ha Ha :0)... And was that an old skool heat bench with that timber replacement job... do you still use it?
The glasshouses are Victorian Peter, we don’t use the pipes or benches any longer, the pipes were cast iron and huge, and all underneath the potting shed are old stove houses, now capped that a garden boy used to keep fires up with coal all year so the nobs could grow a leach or a melon......we use no heating. We just propagate out of prime time and grow stuff on till the following year.....I’m not interested really in quick sales, I just prefer a longer growing period for much of our stuff before it goes out for sale....though so much has to be bought as cuttings or liners or plus under licence because it has Plant Breeders Rights......I had to prove I was entitled last year to grow three varieties of plants....which proves people go round checking up....I’ll talk about this in a video later on. The fine is about £20,000 or £10,000 if you settle out of court. It’s becoming a different world now. Thank you so much for your comment. Very best wishes....Malcolm
@@plantsmanscorner128 Wow. Thanks for the detailed answer... what a time that must have been. Now we have plastic heat mats from china lasting a few years max :( Gentry bringing back plant matter from other countries no problem. Will look forward to the PBR video. Why do governments do this(?) It's like the music and drug industries I guess :)
Malcolm if you could put a photo of the flowers , it would be great please
I don’t have many of my own photos Mairead.....and I can’t use other people’s because of copyright laws....however, we will be revisiting everything as the season progresses....we will go back to things as they bloom, colour or fruit. You will hopefully see things as the season naturally unfolds. Best wishes....Malcolm
@@plantsmanscorner128 ah yes silly me !! but thank you for getting back to me
Can you talk a bit about what label printer you use?
I m India, buy sum plant.plz
I was looking into the Veratrum you mentioned. Everything I found about it said it was poisonous! Is it true?
Yes. It is considered poisonous Melody.....many plants are...lily-of-the-valley, Helleborus, arums, foxgloves, aconitum, amongst many others we grow or that grow wild. The trick is not to eat them I guess, and educate children. What worries me is our total remoteness as a species from the natural world. Watching David Attenborough doesn’t count as experiencing nature either. Best wishes....Malcolm
Can you please tell me what you use to clean terracotta pots please
A pressure sprayer Kay.
Is there a treatise on anal plants? I'm sure someone must have done a PhD on it! :-)
No chance Patrick.....they’d forever be the butt of juvenile humour.
