Gorgeous garden Paul, the light, the sounds, the birds, the plants, the trees... all is beautiful, thank you so much for share your little paradise. Take care of you Monsieur Paul😃😉💚
Salut Estelle - I am so pleased you liked my video and thank you for such a lovely comment. All the best to you from Monsieur Paul ☘️🌝
@@paultsworld Bonsoir Monsieur Paul and thank you so much!😊
Your style of videography and narration is outstanding. Informative, beautiful, and truly shows the peace that comes from our gardens.
Wow, thank you so much. You have boosted my confidence with the narration - as talking to camera, and being on film, is new to me.
It's evident how much love and hard work has gone into your gardens. Thank you for being kind enough to share with us.
It's a pleasure Colleen, thank you for watching and commenting - I appreciate it.
I love the peace of your videos! Bird song, water, a good look at individual plants and you know each plant so well.
Thank you, I am so pleased you enjoyed the video.
Paul your videos are an absolute sea of tranquillity! So many videos are made where it's jigging about and going backwards & forwards you end up cross-eyed. With yours I go "aaahhh", so serene. Thank you.
Wow Sue, that is really nice - thank you for taking the time to let me know.
Gardentip: Love your plants! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for visiting.
This was an absolute joy to watch. 💜👍
That’s very nice of you Laura - I’m so pleased you enjoyed it.
Amazing you have so many trees in such a small space.
Ruby Arias yes, you are right. I am also surprised at how many trees I’ve planted and they seem to fit in OK.
Good morning Paul
I'm new to your channel. What a beautiful garden. I too am trying to plant for wildlife. If you want more mahonias, just chop the top off after flowering and trim the leaves to half, pot it up and in no time at all, you will have a new free plant. Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Hello Pat
Welcome to my channel and I wish you success on your wildlife garden - let me know what arrives in your garden. Thank you for the mahonia tip - I had no idea - it’s so satisfying producing your own plants, I’ll have a go. All the best.
I have obviously been binging on your videos and thoroughly enjoy your gardening experiences and knowledge.
I am really pleased you enjoy watching my videos - thanks Peter.
Fantastic garden a lot to see it beatful and the birds love it to. 😊
I'm looking forward to doing a video on the resident birds. I'm pleased you enjoyed my garden.
I've been looking for other English gardeners, and couldn't find many. I love the way you presented this thanks for sharing
Hi Carolina, thank you so much for your compliment.
Thanks for sharing this. Your garden is so beautiful. I can see the hard work, passion and patience behind this beautiful creation. Truly blessed!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment.
What a delight watching this video Paul! So beautiful and charming!
Thank you so much Baljeet for enjoying my video.
Thank you so much for the tour of your beautiful garden, I live in a suburb of Denver, Colorado. When you showed your Spiraea in bloom it reminded me of my back yard in Westminster Colorado and I had to subscribe to your channel, and I love the English style of gardening. The sound of the birds singing was so nice to hear also! Can't wait to go back and see more tours and look forward to the new tours!
Thank you so much Rebecca - welcome to my channel and how nice that you were reminded of Westminster.
Absolutely lovely! Exactly what I want in my garden!
How nice , thank you. It's surprising how quickly everything grows.
Love the way you include the light and bird song. Super video😊
Thank you, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. The birds are so important to my garden experience - I feel it's their garden as much as mine.
Your back yard is fabulous and the choir was magical. Wish our (U.S.) blackbirds sounded like yours. Tfs cheers
Thank you so much. One of 'my' blackbirds is the loudest I've ever heard. Greetings to the US from England.
Thank you Paul. Hope all is good with you
Very peaceful garden. I love apple blossoms. Thank you for sharing your garden.🌞
Thank you - it's a pleasure. Yes, with apple blossom it's blend of white and pink I really like - bit like strawberry and cream ice-cream.
Yes, thank you for sharing your lovely garden all the way across the big pond! I adore that garden shed. Please tell us about it sometime. I enjoy you mentioning your birds as well.
Thank you for your nice comment and greetings to you from England.
Hi Paul ,you are lucky to have this awesome backyard .Lovely flowers ,especially the ones which were in the natural lime light.
Thank you Mita!
Good evening From Staffordshire Paul. Thank you for sharing your Amazing English garden. Stunning in every corners. So perfect.😊👍🔔
Hello Sam, thank you for watching and enjoying my garden - what a great place you live - Staffordshire is a lovely county!
Although that this video is posted two years ago, it is still a joy to watch🥰 This is my second gardening year and so far may has been my favourite so far to. Everything bursts out into life in nature. Fresh green leaves and early flowers popping up everywhere🥰🌿🌸🌺 Love the song of the birds, sadly I don't have a garden big enough to house some nice, native trees for them. But small/big shrubs and climbers can have a big impact to👍🏻🌿
That’s nice you are enjoying a May video. Certainly May is the most exciting month.
Shrubs are my favourite plants - good luck with your garden, it’s amazing how quickly they grow. 🌻
Garden looks great Paul love the trees as do the birds!
Cheers Stephen - yes, those trees do look good at this time of year with their fresh green leaves.
Such an amazing peaceful garden you have. Your video is brilliant, the best one yet! So professional and enjoyable to watch. All your hard work is paying off for you I’m so pleased. Well done you deserve every success 👍
Ellisio Travel Thank you for your support and supportive comments - it’s appreciated.
You have a beautiful garden. Thank you for showing your beautiful garden to us.
You are very welcome. Thank you.
beautiful garden lots of green tress thank you for sharing your beautiful garden
Thank you for your nice comment.
The golden hour! My photographer daughter keeps teaching me that it's all about the light.As a gardener, it's kind of the same for me.We live in Australia, but our hearts belong to the British Isles, so I am selling my bit of Australian bush to move there. It's only a matter of time.Thank you for this lovely tour.Kaye.
Yes, we could do with a few golden hours each day. Good luck with your move and I wish you all the happiness when you come over to Britain.
Love Love Love your collection of mature plantings! Well maintained!
That's very nice of you to say so.
Such a beautiful garden ... I love watching your vedios
Thank you for your nice comment Mary.
Very enjoyable. Just lovely! Thanks for sharing!
That’s so nice and thank you for letting me know Brigitte. 🌻
Thank you so much for sharing. Your garden is beautiful sir😃🧡💚
I am very pleased you like my garden - thank you.
Just a beautiful garden🌸
Thank you! ☘️🌼
Lovely tour of your beautiful garden Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the nice comment.
Just lovely.
Thanks Peter.
So much to see in your beautiful May garden ... I'm not sure which area is my favourite but I loved seeing the Lilacs, the Silver Birch, the fruit trees and of course the birds!
Those silver birch sound really lovely when the wind blows and the lilac smells beautifully. Lovely to hear from you Lyn.
So beautiful!❤️
Thank you!! 😊
New subscriber, LOVE your beautiful garden and the fact you can name all the beautiful plants, makes it so lovely with the birds singing. Will be happy to see a summer video as they all change. Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely comment - I'm also looking forward to doing the Summer video, the garden really fills out with foliage.
what a nice garden, its paradise
Thank you!
Lovely.....
I love those trees and flowers in your Garden.....Sir!!
Thank you....
Thank you for appreciating the garden Zaleha. All the best from England.
@@paultsworld Greetings from North Borneo.....
Wow, fabulous - greetings to you from England.
Love your garden!
Thank you Lidia. 🌺
Amazing ! Its paradise!
Thank you for a lovely comment.
I did enjoyed the garden tour and have taken notes on the ones that took my fancies... Thank you that was lovely. Just given you a thumbs up and had subscribed...
Welcome to my channel and thank you for subscribing. I'm pleased you've seen some plants you fancy - let me know how you get on with any new plants you get.
Your garden is absolutely wonderful. I could live there and sleep outside in such a wonderful paradise. Achillea Mollis (I live in the humid southeast USA) and she hates drought. She is not drought-tolerant at all. We had a year when we were both ill and she got little care and died. I have purchased another, now 2 years old, and it has to be watered frequently if there is little rain.
Thank you for your comment Pat. Yes, I agree - it's supposed to be drought tolerant but mine also hates drought!
🇬🇧 I've had the saw fly for many years but this year I don't seem to have it. Maybe it's the hot weather but I did have something like tiny black caterpillars on my Eunymous Alata which has eaten leaves and woven fine white pockets all over the Bush so I sprayed it with a solution of washing up liquid. Disposed of the critters but the bush looks a mess. Then have totally decimated some trees on the bypass they look white and ghostly with just the white pockets all over. Thank you for showing us your beautiful garden. It would be lovely to sit in now with a cold drink.
Nickname Flea Bane. Grows in every little path join in my garden. I love it.
It's seems to me that there is a saw fly for just about everything - even for some of my aquatic plants, so far they haven't arrived. Sorry to hear about your Alata - I used to have one, gorgeous in Autumn. Thank you for your compliment on my garden and yes, in this sunny warm weather it's nice to relax - so lucky to have a garden. Flea bane, thank you - I like it too.
Fantastic garden really peaceful
Thank you!
Hi Paul! Here I am, as promised. :P
Really great work! I loved the PIP with the combos of video and stills! So awesome that you saved these to show how they are when in full bloom.
Mystery solved as far as my misidentification on the "Dogwood"...you showed the same plant I have twice...Weigela. AND, mine flowers exactly the same as yours...not too many flowers left on it now though.
Great share! Excellent edit and commentary!!
EDIT: so funny with the phone going off. :P
nate
Hi Nate,
Thank you for your comment - isn’t that brilliant our weigelas are performing in tandem and yet so far apart and in different climates.so if yours is finished flowering you can cut it back. No finesse - just cut it back by a third all round and you scan enjoy even more blooms next year! I’ll make a gardener out of you Nate! All the best my friend.
That phone! I even answered a call while filming a video.
Very nice garden and trees for the birds 🐦 well maintained 💥💫👌🖐💤👍
Thank you Philip, I'm pleased you enjoyed the garden.
@@paultsworld you are welcome Sir Paul 🙏 Happy Valentines Day and godbless 💥💤🖐
Wonderful sharing sir your is very beautiful just like heaven thanks for sharing 🙏🏼🌹
That's a really nice comment Rita - thank you.
So true about what they charge for hellebores! Your garden is lovely!
Thank you Angie! I think I'll go into business selling hellebores 😀
Hi! This is my first time watching your videos and I was enthralled! I live in St. Louis now but I'm originally from Warrington and I knew by your accent that you must live close. I'm going to subscribe and look forward to more videos from you.
Ha ha Liz you sussed me out - yes, only half hour drive to Warrington. Welcome to my channel and I'm so pleased you've enjoyed watching my videos.
Peaceful garden!!!!!
Thank you!
Hey Paul. Love all your videos so much so I am watching many of them for a second time! Hope you pick up the CZcams again this year 😀👍
Hi Kris, glad you like my videos and I appreciate you re-watching the following year. We’ll have to see how things go - can’t promise anything unfortunately. Enjoy your garden! 🌼
Thanks, you are about a month ahead of us here in Ontario. Love seeing gardens come into life 👍❤️😊
Thank you - it is an exciting time of the year. I hope your cold snap last week changes soon - we also had strong Northerlies which dropped the temperatures on Sunday.
Sadly a lot of Saucer Magnolias here got hit with the frost and cold wind and the blossoms turned brown.
What a pity when a frosty few days happen just at the 'wrong' time.
We are about the same stage as this in British Columbia, just east of Vancouver but a little higher.
When I visited Vancouver I thought it had a lot of similarities to where I live in England - I think the climate is similar and maybe even the soil. Butchart Gardens had a lot of ericaceous shrubs.
Very beautiful n peaceful garden sir🌷🌿🌱
Thank you Paam. 🌷
Hello, Paul! You're lucky, to have this beauty ! It has to be wonderful to take care of it....Big embrace and thanks so much for sharing. I enjoyed very much! Like for this awesome share, Paul! Have a great new week and take always care, my dear friend! Ciao! Renata
How nice of you to say so Renata. Big greeting from England.😊
@@paultsworld My GREAT pleasure, dear Paul! All the best! Renata
Love the colors in the garden Paul great video Just Subscribed !
Welcome Andre to my channel - I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
A very well tended garden
Thank you for your comment!
Beautiful thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching and your nice comment.
Ha , I thought that was an email coming in on my phone ! Nice tour Paul.
I wonder how many people check their phones while watching this video? 🤣. Thanks for popping by Dan.
beautiful!
Thank you!
STUNNING! Just subscribed and added notifications.
Welcome to my channel - I'm so pleased you enjoyed my video.
Your gardens are just amazing and I love the shed with the clematis. You have to watch Virginia Creeper because it will take over. It is beautiful though😊. I also subscribed😊❤️😊
Thank you Jean and welcome to my garden. Also thank you for the warning on the Virginia Creeper, luckily the one up my shed is a Chinese Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus henryana) which is quite gentle in its growing habits. The other one we have in Britain is the vigorous one (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). I look forward to seeing more of your garden!
Lovely garden, Lillie of the valley is my favorite too.
Thank you. I'm looking forward to the lily of the valley multiplying and forming a nice clump of pretty white bells.
Paul T's World they will and also quite lovely snell, we move almost two years ago to this house with a little over grown (weeds)and just this month realized that we had so many that this evening went out and smell so great I was so pleased
@@yvette6777 What a nice surprise to find them!
Paul T's World it really was and am planning to transplant some of those to a different area so can naturalize
@@yvette6777 I must do that soon - good reminder, thanks.
Paul, all I can say is move over Monty Don 😉 the apple tree holds the most enchantment for me, and that Lilac in bloom was magical... Honeysuckles vines grow rampant here, but their fragrance so seductive especially as the sun sets after a warm day. The Hydrangea leaves turning red is most probably too much sun....they may be tanning LOL...But seriously you have created a verdant tranquil sanctum that entices wildlife to come and lives their lives in utter contentment...and yes the audio is wonderful filled with song birds tweeting happily....another wonderful video 😍
Thank you Mel - I knew you’d like the apple tree! Well those leaves might be tanning; we’ve had solid sun for weeks - we need rain ☔️.
I think Monty Don is safe - he knows what he’s doing - I make it up as I go along 😎 lovely to hear from you. 🍀🌻
Awwww Monty Don his dog Nigel passed away,his programme will not be the same now..saaaaad!
I know, so sad - he loved catching the tennis ball! Nigel had a lovely younger companion this last year or so.
@@paultsworld ya he was a wonderful companion for him .
Very nice video,interesting, big like 👍💐
Thank you!
Beautiful Paul!!!! On your Flowering Currant I wonder if you could trim it back to about 2 feet and then it would rejuvenate next year? I am not 100% sure but would try that. I have many hydrangeas too!!!! I live in Richmond Virginia, USA. May is my favorite time too! Love your garden Paul!!!! Continue to stay well! Blessings!
Good idea Anna, I'll trim it, I was also thinking of growing a clematis through the dead branches - what do you think of that idea? Can't wait for the hydrangeas to come out - when will yours be out in Richmond?
Good morning Paul
What a gorgeous back garden you have , we can see the you love this very much! Very good video and loved the pup ups window you added showing what plants looks like later or the birds also .
You have a month and a half in advance on us her in Quebec my lilas don’t blossoms until the end ove June .
No wonder you have so much birds around your place is a paradise for them . Did a full watch my friend having my coffee this morning and enjoyed it. I don’t do as much as you gardening but love to see those flowers and trees.
Have a great upcoming week my friend !
H&S 👩❤️👨🌈
From Boisbriand Québec Canada 🇨🇦
Great to hear from you H&S. I appreciate the watch while having coffee - sounds as though you'll have lots of blooms in June - also a great month with even longer days. Have a great weekend Serge and best greetings from England. 👍
Paul T's World 👩❤️👨🌈😉👍
Thank you for showing us the beauty of your garden, Mr T.! I have got three lilac bushes (white, pink and dark purple), the purple one is at least 50 years old, no idea what the name of it is. It is very big and still going strong and smells amazing. We have to fight with our Virginia creeper, it's extremely invasive. The only sparrow in the street, which nests in my front wall, seems to have lost its chicks but "my" swifts arrived two days ago, it makes my heart sing ;-)
Great to hear from you. You've got some impressive lilacs - I wish they flowered for longer. We love virginia creeper in England, particularly on stately homes and castles. - don't know if I'd it on my house though. Have you seen my Wales video? I feature Penrhyn castle which has beautiful red virginia creeper in Autumn. Does look magnificent.
Sparrows getting scarcer here in England (and starlings) but there is still a colony in my hedge so I'm very happy about that.
How great you've got swifts - one of my favourite birds. Ultimate flyers! I had house martins nesting under the eaves in my old house - but now I get swifts wheeling about the skies over the house, screeching loudly. You must be so pleased to see them safely back from their African Winter holiday.
It's great to hear you love and appreciate nature.
@@paultsworld The v.creeper in your video does look stunning! I do not have it on the walls but it's been trying to invade the garden for years so I have to keep an eye on it.
The local sparrow population, in comparison to what I remember from a few decades ago, is practically non-existent but I've read that the figures are slowly picking up again in central Europe. The current nesting situation is my garden is as follows: two starling families plus a homeless starling couple desperately trying to move into one of the boxes for swifts, one family of great tits and one of blue ones, one swift family (possibly two). Last but not least, I've just heard an oriole, I haven't heard it here for years! I hope it's nesting in the nearby park. Cheers!
pertelote 45 An oriole - now that is super exotic for us.
I’m pleased your sparrows are recovering , they are a bird (along with starlings) of my childhood. I hadn’t had a starling in the garden for over a year, then today I noticed two come down for the fat in a coconut hanging from the apple tree. They we’re taking it away so they have chicks. I managed to get some video of them.
We have lots of house martins in England nesting under the eaves of houses, swallows in barns, sheds etc but I’ve never seen a swift nesting.
Thank you for detailing what’s happening in your garden - it’s so interesting to hear.
The nestbox you saw in my last video was there for the sparrows as they like to nest communally. But blue tits have decided they want it and the sparrows are nesting in the beech hedge. A Robin nested last year in my shed as a piece of the door had broken off. What a great time of year. All the best, Paul
Hello from Vancouver, Canada.
Your garden is very nice and shows the passion you have for it, I enjoy the birds too.
Your hedge is quite nice behind shed- what kind of plants may I ask?
Thank you
Hi, thanks for your nice comment. The hedge behind and to the right of the shed is a privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium). It's commonly used as a hedging plant in Britain as its mostly evergreen, has little white flowers and regrows however much it's clipped or cut back.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely garden. I just found you on CZcams and am delighted. I'm wondering if there is something going on in your soil in the area where your shrubs are not doing well...near the potting shed. That's just so odd. Have you considered doing a soil test?
Hi, thank you for your great comment - it's appreciated. You could be right about the soil where that shrub is. I hadn't thought about a soil test - thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.
Your garden is stunning, I love how you have created different areas with arches and areas of lawn cut out. I was wondering how did you manage to get your clematis to grow up your shed did you use a trellis. Just subscribed x
Welcome to my channel and thank you for subscribing. Yes, I screwed a trellis onto each side of the shed door and planted a clematis montana on one side and a Chinese virginia creeper up the other.
Paul T's World thanks for the information x
Beautiful garden! Is that just one Clematis? Your hydrangea is sunburned. I live in Alabama, United States where it is blazing hot. Hydrangeas scorch very easily here as well.
Thank you. Yes, it is just one clematis and it covers the whole wall in just a few months. Thanks for the explanation on my hydrangea leaves - this Spring has been the sunniest we’ve ever had - solid sun for a month.
Great vid as always. I too have a Rowan , but last yr it started to die back along the branches and the amount of leaves it produces has lessened. I removed all the dead branches last month ... hopefully it will fight back .
Let me know how your rowan responds. I have a second one that looks very thin - it produces plenty of berries but isn't as 'full' as the one I featured. I thought maybe I'd feed and water it more but Rowans are 'pioneer' trees and can grow in pretty rocky and tough terrain so they shouldn't need pampering.
@@paultsworld I will.keep you informed . I noticed a tree in a neighbouring garden was in a similar condition .
That’s interesting and maybe a little alarming that two are the same?
What wonderful garden videos I have just stumbled across. Thanks so much Paul for showing us your beautiful garden. Please would you tell me what the pear tree rootstocks are, if you know? My pear trees in my South-facing London garden suffered from frost damage, and I fear will not fruit this season. Do take care and keep posting the lovely videos. All best Tim
Hi Tim, I am so pleased you’ve enjoyed my videos and thank you for letting me know.
I bought the pear trees from a very small local nursery, so I never knew the rootstock. The trees were cheap and roots dodgy but I made sure they would help each other on the pollination front. Sorry to hear about the frost damage - they do blossom while frosts are still likely. Do they have any small pears forming?
Thanks again for the encouragement - I have a number of videos planned and am looking forward to the garden progressing through the year. Cheers, Paul
Paul T's World Paul , hi Many thanks for coming back to me. The pear tree I have is a new variety that is self-pollinating, but it would appear that all the flowers have died and fallen off, so it doesn’t look as if I will be getting any fruit this year unfortunately. It might not be frost damage, but time will tell, although I did wrap it in fleece over the winter so perhaps I just removed that too early...I’m pretty new to fruit planting, so I’m learning all the time.
On a completely separate note, I see you are a photographer, and I wondered if you might be able to answer a simple technical question about audio if you don’t mind and if you have an email to address it to? I don’t want to clutter this space up for you.
I am eagerly anticipating more lovely videos.
Take care and all the very best
Tim
Tim, there is a chance if the pear tree is very young it might have shed the possibility of fruit for this year. Some people advise taking the fruit off anyway for the first year or two to make sure the tree puts all its energy into root development - just a thought and grasping at straws.
I’d be delighted to help if I can on the audio - just ask here or shoot me an email
Paul,plant a climbing roses or two up yr old apple tree.Kordes ALCHEMYST or MORGENGRUS would be ideal-modern climbers are too stiff.Pauls Himalayan Musk or BOBBIE JAMES wud be wonderful growing up thru yr old trees
That's a great suggestion Arun - thank you. I'll check out those roses - I do love climbing roses.
EXACTLY why I bought my Virginia Creepers that RED..WOW
Autumn is great for the reds - good luck with yours!
Check out my "Wonderful Wales" video for more virginia creeper in splendid red. They are near the beginning - about a minute and half in.
czcams.com/video/jfKKKyDXirM/video.html
@@paultsworld will do ..you have only just popped up in my inbox , I will paroose them at leisure
That’s lovely, thank you for watching.
Flea bane,small daisy flowers,
That's very helpful Anne - thank you for letting me know.
I'm a big fan of citruses and cacti my weather is hotter than England 😀
Weeqat I also like cacti - they remind me of some of the fantastic places I’ve been to on my travels.
I had a flowering currant in a pot and it died found it was full of vine weevil ! I trim mine after flowering . As for the Hydrangea I don’t think you need to worry . Do you water it ? Again with the lilac should be trimmed after flowering
Vine weevil - I'm not familiar with this pest - I'd better read up on it, thank you for letting me know. Someone else said the hydrangea leaves was sun scorch, which could be possible given this last month's constant sun. Yes, I water them but not as much as they'd like - the soil is so sandy that it's difficult to keep up - my water butts often run dry. Thank you for the reminder to trim the lilac after flowering.
Hi Paul the evergreen by iris with the hanging tassels can't remember it's name but it set seeds all over not a good plant it goes DEEP just a thought ps when you say you got a email coming in tower in the wall also known as Mexican fleebane ?? 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Graham, Mexican fleabane! - yes, just checked - you're right thank you. Ha, the plant with the tassels, I don't know it's name either - I think the previous owner planted it and I like it's arching stems - but as you say, I noticed it all over the garden - even found it's way into the front garden, I spent a happy afternoon pulling it out everywhere.
I don’t know why your English accent is easy for me to understand. I have a tough time to understand English accent. Blossoms of laburnum look alike wisteria blossoms.
That's really nice you can understand my English. If there are any words that I don't pronounce clearly, I have checked the CC and made sure every word is correct on the captions. Yes, those laburnum racines are so similar to wisteria - I don't have a wisteria but I'd love one as they are so beautiful.
Did you say your black bird just ate some cocoanut? How do you hang it, and what birds feed off of it?
Hello, thank you for watching. The half coconut is empty of coconut and filled with fat. All the birds, blackbirds, tit family, starlings, robin like the fat. Only the seed eating birds such as the goldfinches and green finches don't like it and only eat seeds. It's just a tradition to use a half coconut as the receptacle for the fat.
Thank you. I once had a variety of beautiful birds come into the garden. But my daughter shooed my favourite one away as he attempted to hop onto her new outdoor setting. Well, he flew away and told the whole bird neighbourhood of what he had endured that day. Now, the birds dont come anymore. WHAT can I do to regain their trust?
I know it's disappointing when they don't come back quickly - but they will. If they have trees or shrubs and water or food they will gain confidence and return - that's 100%.
Do you have nightingale? It's the king of singing. They usually sing near the water.
We do have nightingales in Britain but the one singing in my garden is the blackbird - they sing all the time in Spring.
Beautiful garden your hydrangea discoloration is due to much sun, so the sun is actually burning the leaves
That's very helpful Yvette, I'm relieved it isn't a pest of some sort.
Paul T's World you are welcome Paul , just a little shade will help and great job on your filming and garden
Thank you for a lovely compliment Yvette.
Beautiful garden. I just start to gardening and my garden is not beautiful as yours ( you can see on my Chanel). I enjoyed watching this video 😊
Thanks for visiting
what time is when filming?
Hello, it’s the 6th May at 8 o’clock (20:00) in the evening.
Hi Paul! Did you find out what the discolouration was on your plant leaves?
Hi! Yes, it is sun scorch, April and May were very sunny - probably the sunniest we’ve ever had - also no rain. Luckily it didn’t affect the flowers so everything is OK.
Paul T's World thanks Paul👍 we have the same (problem!) on a couple of plants that are in the morning sun till after noon. We're in east lancs. Love your YT videos 🍻
@@jabopy9966 Yes, it happened this year didn't it (wasn't it great weather in April/May!) I'm not far from you.
Paul, what kind of conifer is the one beside your beautiful lilac?😊
Hi Alice, it is a Cypress goldcrest.
@@paultsworld thank you, I need one like that for a bit of privacy in my garden😃
It's fast growing and grows upwards rather than outward so you may need more than one depending on the width you need to cover.
@@paultsworld oh thanks for that👍
So nice flower bed.
Can you tell us how to control weeds in your garden?
Hello Happy Feet - probably the best way is with a thick mulch and ground cover. However i often end up just weeding by hand - spending more time than I'd like.
Thank you for your response.!
I think you are a very good gardener.
I really enjoyed your garden.
That's very nice of you to tell me and I'm so pleased you enjoyed my garden.
Hope all is well? No updates in a while.. 🤩 x
Hi Nicola, thank you for your message. I’m fine thank you. It’s just that I have some time-consuming commitments at the moment.
5.18 Now, Parthenocissus , another greek word, means the ivy of the Virgin. Isn't that beautiful?
It certainly is and I had no idea that was the meaning. Thank you for letting me know.
Your clematis at the end is called Little Lemons..i have one too
Isn't Little Lemons a lovely and apt name? The flowers on Bill Mackenzie and Little Lemons are virtually identical. Does your clematis have those super seed heads?
@@paultsworld ya ..i was not sure at first what had happened to the clematis but it is super vigorous growing around the garden arch and the name is very apt indeed
@@paultsworld my latest acquisitions are Glam Rock Hydrangea ,Raspberry frazee hydrangea and Empress Josephine clematis, not sure if my 2yr old Wisteria flowering is unusual for it's age .
Fabulous names - I'll check them out - especially the Glam Rock Hydrangea! You are doing well having a 2 yr old wisteria flowering.
@@paultsworld thanks, I did wonder about the Wisteria....just had the most marvellous display now ,best yet.
Those fancy ivies, bred for hanging baskets primarily, could destroy your garden - throwing out runners over and above the soil. They are hell to get out. I'd stick with the toadflax.
I totally agree and am removing it. I had a message from someone that the toadflax is very invasive, but in my garden it stays on this little sandstone wall, so I really like it.
@@paultsworld It is terribly invasive but doesn't 'strangle': roots come out easily and it's quite pretty. I just haul out clumps if and when.
Yes, that's what I noticed - the roots were very shallow, particularly in the wall - I pulled out a little too much; I do hope it comes back next year.
@@paultsworld Sorry, that made me laugh - you should see my back yard! More than enough to take to market ...
I'll contact you if mine disappears - let me know how much per kilo 🤣
Wow nice place. Sound of bird and nice flower. You can visit my place. My friend
OK, thank you.
