Yeah! Welcome back GFH. Looking forward to a great 2020. Feeling inspired. X
Please get a couple of gardeners in just to get bulk done as I think it bit much for nanny di xx
Can I just ask Emma re being a subscriber. Do you watch on computer or other? I am trying to watch on my iPad and it says community posts not available yet,thank you and any help would be great x
I'm watching on my mobile hun
Emma-Anne Harmer-Collins thank you. So frustrating x
Get some help to clear the weeds and start afresh. Get Nanny Di a new chair. So glad Gfh is back 😊
In the area next to the steps where the multilevel planter is. Why don’t you make it into a sunken seating area. L shaped sofa and a water feature😊 would be somewhere lovely for Nadia to relax😊😊
It’s so strange to see Nadia knocking on the window-it’s messing with my mind how we saw her her doing that a few days ago. Like a looking into infinity picture.
What a beautiful space! The garden has so much potential, but my worry is that you'll have to spend so much time taking care of it all that you won't have enough time to enjoy it. If it were me I'd create a few more spaces in the garden for people to sit and relax, read a book, meditate, or chat with a friend, using either slabs, decking, gravel or woodchip. And I'd get the big guys in to clear those spaces for you and get the bulk of the work done, so you an Nanny Di can concentrate on the planting /design of the wilder parts of the garden, and the more formal beds and pots.
everything sounds great.. cant wait! i want TO OVERDOSE on GFH!!
Mark, your mum is adorable
I'm so glad you're both back doing GFH!..I've missed it...The first thing that needs doing before even considering buying more plants or pots is tidying up all the dead leaves...That way you can see what needs doing better..Then remove all unwanted/ dead plants...Throughly remove all weeds & get Steve to dig up that tree stump with the thorns on!..😉 Put some weed & feed on the lawn but make sure to keep the dogs out of the garden for at least a few days in case it could be harmful for them!..I'll check with my gardener to make sure🤔 When all beds are cleared up..Don't just dump compost on top of the soil..Make sure to dig it in & mix it well, also get some manure as that will really help your existing plants flourish as well as the new additions...Also make a proper list of plants you want & draw up a plan of the garden so you can figure out where to put them..Saves the hassle & stress of moving stuff about!...Hope that helps...Sending you all much love & extra big brummie hugs😉🤘🖤🕊🇬🇧xxxxx🌾🌷🌹🌼🌸🌻🌱
Welcome back to the garden, love seeing ye together, take good care of Nanny Di 💞💞🌝
As ye weed, put down 2 to 3 layers of black weed block sheets, it cuts off sunlight so they die. You leave small slits for flowers/plants to pop through. You can cover the black sheets in lovely colour stone or use the tree chippings you're going to make, happy gardening 🐿 💞💞
Pay someone do take the weeds out and start with a clean area x
Love GFH!! :D If you need a buying fix Mark, order those rectangle planters and lots of compost. Def agree with others that you need to weed n cut back first. As our summers seem to be getting hotter I'm going to try and concentrate on plants that will cope with less water etc - just researching atm. Nanny Di looked glowing!! x
Lovely mother and son time. You can see the total respect their have for one another. So sweet . . . . . 🥰
Feeling better already, yay, GFH, first signs of spring! Glad I’m not the only one, love my garden but not done anything in it since October, I’m going to see life and death too I guess!
I always clear my garden in the Fall... Since my roses were still blooming in late October, I began clearing a week or two before Thanksgiving. Climate change has altered how I garden quite dramatically. The unseasonably warmer temperatures have allowed for enjoying the beauty od my garden much longer than 10... even 20 years ago. It is wonderful but terribly frightening all at the same time.
Your both giving me hope for my garden 🤦♀️🌷🌻🌳 looking forward to the next GFH well done Nannie Di for coping with the weather and no stick 💁♀️😘
Glad to see GFH back. Sounds like a good plan of action. Happy new year
I do the same. I unintentionally leave everything in autumn, thinking I'll get back to that and then it's spring and I have spades, pots and secateurs dotted around. I love gardening but it's so overwhelming at the same time. Nice to see GFH back x
Definitely start with clearing, cutting back and weeding - otherwise as the weeks go by and the temperatures rise you will have so many more weeds to contend with! 😯 The areas that Stephen cleared could be done in a few days constant work, and then you will feel encouraged and revitalised by how clear the garden looks - which will encourage you to get stuck into the other areas. Good luck 👍🏻😁🌺🌸🌼🌻🌹
I’m confused, I must have missed something, what do we have to pay for and how? What are the green symbols some people have against their names x
Allison Marsh press the join button and it fully explains what the perks are - mainly a Sunday show and a live catch up once a week - that’s it - all the rest stays and continues as normal x
The Dog House oh thank you, will do x
You have no idea how much i love GFH. Can't wait for the next episode. Would love a book about gardening by you two because I'm struggling with my own garden and desperately need tips. 🍁🍀🌹🌳
I was a GFH virgin until today & I'm now smitten! Not that I'm an expert, obviously, but I would, do the patio area first in terms of sorting & planting so you have a pretty aspect to look out on which would inspire you & then move onto the weeding & planning other areas.
You need to go back and watch them all. They're lovely. There's a playlist. X
Yay!! Just got home from work..something to watch now 😍😘
You guys have inspired me to get out and start working in my flower beds. There's so much to be done that I don't know where to start.
Yaaaas, so glad green fingered hell is back🙌🏻x
Lovely to see GFH back👍🏻 Mark I really do suggest the new bed beside hot tub clear weeds then put down black membrane cut holes in to plant your acer trees then cover with bark no more weeding👍🏻 isolated weeds do come through but easy to see and just pull out it really will SAVE LOTS OF TIME WEEDING AGAIN AND AGAIN👍🏻
Guys you are double comedy act!😄 Thanks for making me giggle, love how you do this gardening lark!!
Haha here we go again👍looking forward to this years gardening adventures
Love GFH. I would start by weeding the beds and clearing the pots. Get it tidied up and then you can see clearly what can be planted. Rewarding too. All we have done in our garden this winter is cleared the leaves up but it looks better for it x
Yey it’s back,
Save all of your cardboard boxes,dig all your weeds up, plant what flowers,shrubs you want, then put cardboard along your borders,around your plants,making sure its not actually touching any plants, then put a layer of soil,compost or mulch on top of that. That will help stopping any weeds coming through & the cardboard over the next few yrs will turn into compost.
Forgot to say, water the cardboard while its down, then cover with compost or soil or both.
You're not alone guys, we also have to face the aftermath of Winter. Where do all the weeds come from!!!! Roses are a real winner in our garden in the left hand border, in the right hand border we have a lovely array of shrubs, all varying shades of green, some flowering, some just foliage. You can intersperse with annuals for added colour which is what we do. Love Chi Chi in the background with Donald Trump, i think Toffee must be a Democrat that's why she's keeping her distance. xxx
👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 I'll watch rest later... Nanny di & mark yooo are soooo sweet together.. 🚶💃
So happy to see GFH back, you have a lot to get on with Mark & nanny Di, definitely need to start weeding then compost. I love perennials myself not a big spring bulb person, I like the idea of clematis, honeysuckle etc around the patio, fuchsia's would look lovely in tubs or the beds, you may need Stephen's help to get you started :)
PLEASE NO BUYING TILL WEEDING DONE ! GET HELP
Fabulous to see you both in the Garden 💚
Yay it’s back!!! 🙌🏻😃💚
You guys have so much space and potential for this year but get on top of those weeds as soon as poss, as the longer you leave them, the harder it’ll be and then mulch...Mark is right on that. I think once you have taken back control, got the new containers for the patio, this year is going to be a fun one in terms of creating beautiful beds and borders. If I still lived in a London I’d love to be a gardener for you. Myself and my 13 year old son will be tackling the garden where he lives with his dad this year which has got out of hand since we split up...he adores roses and we have loads of bare root ones to plant. Spring bulbs can be planted from September but if you’ve not done it yet, get them in before the end of this month. Tbh I still have some to plant myself. Hoping for some colder but drier weather to kill some things off and give us gardeners to a chance to clear deadwood and prune, weed etc in the lead up to the exciting season of Spring 😊 Btw, myself and my partner Tim are starting up a Collection of Echinacea, there are some beautiful new varieties in a range of colours and they can do very well in containers and are great for mid-late summer/early autumn colour.
Not a criticism but a helpful rant... Mark you need to get a garden fork and a spade, if I have to watch you and Nanny Di weeding with a hand fork again I will seriously lose my ####.
The beds you have already need to be completely turned over (that's what the garden fork is for) anything apart from that rose bush and well established shrubs should be either composted, burnt, shredded or destroyed in an entertaining way. turning the soil over by at least one spit deep will also help to bury any weed seeds and help keep the bed tidier. Get some manure and dig that into the beds once you have cleared them, using potting compost at this stage is rather wasteful and expensive. If you don't know where to get some decent manure I volunteer in a childrens zoo and I am sure I can arrange for you to come play on our manure pile (Reindeer, Llama, pigs, goats and sheep to name a few)
Then plant up with the many plants you have sitting in pots dying scattered around the patio.
If it looks like a twig with maybe a bud on it....get rid of it, I know you like to give it a chance but you keep buying new stuff and that languishes on the patio because your spending time on pointless twigs when you have viable plants that you should be concentrating on. Rule of thumb, if it looks dead chances are it is BIN IT.
Spring flowering bulbs should be planted October to December so if you want to have some Mark needs to go shopping now, or leave it this year and make a plan of the garden showing what comes up where and then plan a planting in the gaps.
Now I am a family guest I feel more comfortable commenting, I love GFH but its a garden don't overthink it it should be pleasure not hell eventually
Lots of love
Nick x
That bit where Nadia banged on the window: inception! 😂
Oh toffee and chi chi are so funny! Thankyou for this! Love watching you both in the garden!😍
Think you could do with some help ,it’s too much to do ,when you have such busy lives ,you want to relax in it too . dogs are beyond cute x
You two are so cute! And very funny! Not to mention intelligent & skilled. Love your style!
Carry the decking around to the other side of the house too, sunken l shaped seating in the front of the patio with a fire pit. Get steven in to cut and chip all the cuttings. You & nanny di weed & clear pots, sweep leaves etc. Deffo lay down mulch or matting to go round the plants in the beds, so you dont have to weed as much.
Also i planted Pestemons in my garden last summer, and they were easy, beautiful & long lasting. 🌸
Love green fingered hell, your garden is coming along great. Do a little and often 💐
First time am watching GFH...am really enjoying it already...now I 've got something else to look forward to..Nanni D gives good advice in the garden!
Regina Mushi
It’s fab your going to love it x
Happy happpy days GFH is hereeeeeee!!! ♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️😍
Yay! Been so looking forward to this! Xx
Yay gfh is back 🥳🥳
My hubby is in the garden right now having his own green fingered hell! Digging! The storm has past and all is calm...
It all looks so bleak in the New Year...
Yah GFH is back! Think most peoples gardens are looking the same this time of year. Pick a dry day, and just have a tidy of one bed. Otherwise you can get overwhelmed. Me and hubby do this and it works fine. Lovely to see you both so enthusiastic for your gardening year ahead. Good luck. ❤️
Enjoyed your stroll around your garden. I just love gardening. Weeding and tidying to start with.
I would get started ASAP and get it all cleared and kind off sorted so that when summer comes all u have to do is plant and maintain it! In other words make it easier for the summer months. 😀
Weed like mad. Then dig in some fresh soil and plant. Such an enjoyable segment, thank you Mark and Nanny Di xx
best and easiest way to attack the weeds is start now get some plastic or tarpaulin and cover the beds over with it using bricks to keep it down as much as possible , the weeds will wither and be easy to pull up ... cant wait to see more gfh :)
My snowdrops are flowered and my tulips started to sprout up!
Once beds are cleared and planted up they could be covered with shingle to keep weeds at bay,you can buy it by the ton bag
Yay,GFH is back...welcome 2020 🎉🎊
It was great seeing the garden again after all this flipping rain we've been having....
Weeds,weeds and more weeds aee a bain of every greeny finger gardener I dont think anyone yet has come up with a fulproof way of getting rid of them even putting special mainbrain down on top of them they still fit their way through!!
You both did such a great job last year @mark_adderley and @nanny.di with @stephens import that Im sure the garden will slowly retain its beauty once again...
I think @nanny.di that you could do with a pair of Wellies!!👢👢🍃🍂☘🌱🌲🌳
SO HAPPY GFH IS BACK, I love you two and you did a massive amount of work clearing the garden last year, and look at the difference, so this time should be a bit easier. PLEASE, PLEASE get rid of all those leaves, and chip all that garden debris, then weeds, and you will have a cleared concept of what you want to do. Are you doing this weekly? I hope so.
I work on keeping my garden tidy all through the winter, keep on top of the weeds. This weekend I'm going to cut back any dead growth on perennials to make way for new growth. Like the other suggestions, if I were you I would pay someone to come in and clear all the rubbish and then you and Nanny Di work to keep on top of it and maybe sit back and enjoy it alittle more 🌸🌺🌹🏵
SOOOOO happy. GFH is back
You both did so much this year ,a little.more clear ing up (after the winter break) will s oon have everywhere neat and tidy again.Would be lovely to have another seating area in the Spring and summer.
Yay GFH...the dogs are sooo funny love em.♡
I would spray weed killer first and rotor till before planting anything and I was thinking a sunken garden in the corner by the steps. Get Stephen in 😊 but I’m so glad GFH is back ..... I’ve missed it
Glad to have GFH back!! I went out this weekend and had a look at my back yard (which took all of 2 minutes) but I see I have loads to do because the damn weeds grow like mad! I'm still holding out hope (just a teeny tiny bit) that my Brussels sprouts might actually turn into Brussels sprouts. I planted from seed back in April... and they're still going. The "sprouts" that are there are more like spread leaves... so something's not right. I just can't bear to pull them out yet! Looks like you might need to get Stephen back out to clear your "kitchen garden" so you can concentrate on those other beds! Toffee & Chichi need their own show on your channel! I could watch them all day! x
Nice surprise x
I have hanging baskets all year round, just re plant twice a year
Yes first fix of gfh that will keep me going for a bit loved it love this family to bits
It's a fabulous back yard. My worry is with so many beds, there is tons of maintenance. That kinda takes the joy away when you are working so much that you can just sit and enjoy it. Go to some of your favorite parks and copy them. You two work well together. I'm sure you will come up with something great. Just don't get overwhelmed. Complete one thing before you start another.
Also add HUGE containers for loads of lovely herbs for nadia, and put them round where the trampolines are!
I love nanny Di it’s actually crazy how much mark you look like your mum, you pull the same facial expressions lol 😂
Don't let the weeds establish too much. It gets harder the longer you leave it.
Get a gardener in for a few hours!!
ground level off deck...use pavers to cover ground and add a couple outdoor lawn chaises...turn into lovely relaxing reading place...take out yoga mats on nice days and do your exercises too...winter always make it seem like last year's work was a waste...it'll be beautiful with colour again in a few weeks 💕
Happy New year to all of you 😊.
No, autumn/spring for cutting back, if you top a conifer it gets wider x
Get a landscaped gardener in to clear and design it the way you want! Then itll be easy for you to maintain etc and enjoy it! A water feature and seating area would be lovely too!
When Nanni Di was standing there smiling at Mark whilst he is asking her if she feels accomplished it makes me wonder what a young Nanni Di looked like. Mark, could we see pictures of a young Nanni Di? And young Mark?!?!
Don’t buy any more bulbs until you see what comes up that you planted last year. The weeds definitely need digging out from the roots and just a good sweet up and cutting back will transform it 🌿🍂🍀🍁🌱
Happy New Year. Primroses will look lovely in pots🌺🌺 Is Nadia going to have a corner too?
On the beds Stephen did, cover in black material from the garden centre and put your wood chippings over it (or buy some chipped bark) then plant through it - the weeds won't be able to grow through it.
It’s like a forest in that garden 😂😂... will if actually get better 😂😂😂 and maintained 😂😂.. love nanny di.. still should have that white Thelma rose, in the garden, for nanny Thelma 😊 xx
First signs of spring 🌱🌷😘🇦🇺😘
Idea! Send piccies of our gardens as they are now....one problem lol...how to send photo's?
Dont have garden so loving gfh I would start tidying up weeding then go from there
Woo! GFH! xxxx Yay! Nanny Di is stick free! xxx
I didn’t know if I should throw out the Clematis glad I watched this
Some daffodils would be really nice in those boxes near the steps and clear out what was in those boxes and put in some daffodills bulbs and some nice roses would go nice in your garden aswell sweep up all the leaves to start off get some soil for your all your tubs de weed everything make some space for some new plants
Had frost up north but weeds are thriving x
Don't you still have frosts?! I'm in Auckland NZ we don't any definition in seasons. Wonderful to see you both back🍓👌🏼✨💫✨xx
Yay so excited this is back x
Mark just to let you know the links still aren't working, just tried it now. I'm a new family member using an iPad😧
You could turn the square tiered planter into a herb garden.
So glad that green fingered hell is back. I do have an idea Mark why don't you make the front garden members only that would motivate you and Nadia to do the front garden and you get more people joining members-only group. Xx
Get yourself some chickens. Move them around your garden to clear up each area, ready for planting, and Bob’s your uncle...you’ve got yourself a beautiful garden. Also, some lovely fresh eggs 🐓😘
Once you have cleared all the weeds and replanted perhaps put bark wood chips on top . It definitely helps with weed control & looks nice too. X x
Aww I missed these! Love GFH. So funny too. Nanny Di is sooooo cute. x
Is it all of your channel that we’ll need to pay for? I love following GFH, will be so sad if we can’t follow your adventures without membership 😢
Oh I don’t know anything about this, what do I do?
You press link below the vlogg description you watch extra content £1.99 a month
Jen mcewan thanks, Mark replied x
This is better than a weekly tv show. Very relaxing. Please put some timelapse cameras in. Or overhead camera? Perhaps you should have more low maintenance areas. NB. You can train dogs easily only to poop in one area. You can soil it and then trough more soil ontop.
I think you should get a proper gardener to landscape it for you and then you guys care for it from there on in, as every year it overwhelms you and you are never able to get to the bottom of it. Would be magical to see it transformed by a landscaper. x
Thanks guys just what I needed to motivate me back in to the garden
Looks freezing x
