The Bluebells would do very well under the conifer, it would provide the 'woodland' conditions they so love and would help contain them to prevent them spreading everywhere. The garden is looking really lovely, It is so good to finally be able to enjoy some lovely sunny weather! Have a good week Luke Sarah and Maggie. ⛱🌤🪴🌹🌻🥀
Totally agree its the perfect place to plant them like in a woods, they like dappled sunlight and not full sun.
Hi luke
Love your channel. Be careful with bluebells they do take over I'm still digging them out after ten years. The lupins will do better in the borders. Just watch the slugs .all the best x
Such a lovely idea! Thank you so much❤ I’m going to plant them there. Really appreciate it x
I agree I love blue bells but oh my they take over planting them under the conifer tree is perfect
My hostas the slugs/snails love it . Nothing left super sad
Lupins have a very long tap root and like nice deep soil. They can be grown in pots but grow much stronger and healthier in the ground. I would cut the sad looking flowers off - they have had it - and you might get another flush. Plants we grow in our garden originate from different environments all over the world and l can’t stress enough the importance of finding out what conditions they like and try and give them what they will be happy with. You wouldn’t plant a rose in the desert! Good luck 😀
Lupin aphid is a real pain. Love lupins but not a success in my garden sadly
Just looked at messages before making a comment . You beat me to it. Lol. Totally agree 😃
I would suggest that you put the Lupins in the shade for a couple of days and give them a chance to recover from the stress of re-planting!
Actually the rose in the desert comment was funny because they actually grow pretty well in the deserts of Southern California and do ok with enough water and 100 degree weather here
It’s been hot and sunny in edinburgh and rain too
To pronounce the tall plant you have it's
Aga-pan-thus 😊
Hope you and Zara are enjoying this fab weather in your garden.
Thanks for saying it correctly. I couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s related to an onion I believe. I’ve grown them long ago in Southern California and they are big! Lovely plants!
A couple of simple gardening tips Luke. Just hoe around your plants once or twice a week to keep the weeds down. Much easier than having to get down on your hans and knees ! Always check the label ( or google) to ensure that any plant you buy is suitable to grow in a container Saves a lot of disappointment. You’ve done so well for your first gardening season 👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾👍👍
Some great tips! Thank you❤️
Hi Luke, I loved❤ this Waitrose Vlog exclusive.
I work for Waitrose in Ruislip . Thanks for talking very Highly of our shops and hopefully boosting our sales.
Hope you had a great time at your Aunt and Uncles when you went. I am sure they enjoyed the food that you very generously took along with you . The weather at the moment is wonderful isn’t it ? Can’t wait see your next vlog and see what it is going to be . The garden is really coming along now isn’t it ? .👍👏🏻👏🏻
Garden looks lovely Luke… any new plants always give them a good soak before planting up, never plant dry on dry soil, gives your plants a good start when planting, drooping means thirsty, nearly dead, cut off to give plant a better start. Hope that helps, watching this I wanted to jump in car & give you a hand lol ❤
Luke your videos get better and better every time you post. I love your home renovations and garden. Also you look fabulous and happy. Thank you for sharing your life and home. I’m already excited to see your home at Christmas. Cheers. The weather in Saskatchewan is wet, lots of wind and thunderstorms. We are waiting for some hot days.
Hi Luke. I reckon you should add a simple irrigation line along the fence. They are dead easy to install and you can either turn the tap on in the evening or set it on a timer. I planted 26 trees along my driveway and installed some irrigation and it's a game changer.
Twenty six trees! That’s not a driveway, it a full on road. I’m sure they’ll establish well with your irrigation system.
@juliebrooke6099 yep! Our driveway is 60m long. It's a subdivided section. Without an irrigation line it would be a nightmare 🙂
They are going to get some irrigation Zara saw one at a house she visited they did mention it about 2 months back Luke was teasing Zara
Another great chilled vlog Luke, I’m loving the home & garden renovations, looking fab ❤
The garden looks stunning Luke. You've both done an amazing job. Now the sunshine has finally arrived, perfect timing to sit back, relax & watch how the plants develop this year. Well done! Enjoy it to the fullest. Lots of love ❤x
Plants always droop when replanted, its the shock... they do bounce back with water. I really recommend you watching gardeners world, i know, i know, but you'll pick up valuable hints. The one thats just beeon on had about lupins. It was toby buckland and a young woman. Honestly.
Great advice!
Gardening learning curve, those lupins looked really root-bound. Always soak your plants in a bucket of water (for at least an hour) b4 planting. The best thing about gardening is . . . it's all about the future, there is always something to look forward to. This is why it helps people with mental health issues . . . I know!
You Tart you! LOL I LOVE the Lulu Guinness bag as well. Love seeing the garden, it's coming along lovely. I realized this morning that the reason I love your blog is that it's real. It's not braggy, not trying to get people to buy expensive crap we don't need. It's full of good info and people who are just loving life as it comes. Keep being you Luke!
Hey Luke tea and coffee reading is also a tradition in the UK and lots of other countries ❤.
Great idea to extend the borders etc your plants will be grateful for it
Yes that’s very true and it was in the good old days when we only had tea leaves 👍
Anything in pots need more water than in the ground. Especially in a sunny spot. The Salvias can be cut and and with send out a 2nd round of blooms. Garden looking lovely.
Ooo i didnt know that! I'll do that myself!
That’s amazing! Thank you so much❤️
Watch out for soil against the fence panels though otherwise they will rot. Having a level difference between a lawn and a flower bed is, I’ve found, really helpful for maintaining a clean edge.
Always look forward to your videos you always seem to have a fun time.
I agree your hair looks better shorter
Hi Luke, I grow lupins an have lots of them. As already mentioned they do have big roots but the plants can be tough as old boots. You can make extra plants from them by dividing the roots. They are extremely thirsty plants because of the big flowers so if you want to keep them in pots I would add some water retaining gel. They will do much better in the ground. Also just cut off those floppy leaves. And keep a look out for lupin aphid, it's a real pain.
Btw check those bluebells aren't Spanish, they can be very invasive if put in the ground.
Love the garden, looks great.
Keep up the good work. ❤
Such great knowledge thank you so much Simone❤️
Love the haircut, nice and tidy! Your garden is coming along nicely!! Great video Luke. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Morning Luke, am a fellow northerner, I live in a little town called Stanhope. I really look forward to your vlogs on a Sunday morning with my cuppa or two looking out into my garden.
Also a fellow Northerner..and not far from you,in Hamsterley…..it’s a small world isn’t it ? 😂
Ah the busy summer. Always lovely to hear and see you and your family. Give the house a break for now . Get out and about . It's a long winter
I couldn't agree more - Zara and I both just said the weather is so nice to be inside painting.
Dear Luke, I enjoy watching the vlogs you create so much. It's so nice to see how proud you are of English produce and how high quality it is. Can't wait to fly to England for the first time and get to know the places and produce of your country.
Hi Luke! I quite love the buzz cut on you because we can see more of your handsome face. 😉 Garden is looking splendid. Great job guys! I was going to say large river rocks would look lovely on the edges of the plant bedding, but brick works as well. Have a fab week ahead! Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊🏡🌞
Good morning! I also have the same dilemma with my hair. When its short (bob style) I want it long and vice versa. The garden is looking so good. Just in time for the summer time and summer parties with friends.
The interior of the house is looking better every day that goes by. I can't wait to see the walls painted. It will be such a change.
Today it's quite cloudy, and expecting rain in some parts of the Spanish northeast coast, and tonight it's a night that we celebrate Saint John's night with parties and big bonfires until sunrise, with lots of food and drinks 🎉🍾🥂 We need rain so much, but hope the rain doesn't spoil the evening.
Have a great Sunday you three! ❤
The wisteria will shoot out runners soon. Have something they can grab onto, they go fast.
The flowers that are spent, you can cut back and most times they will rebloom.
The lupine needs to go into the ground. They have tap roots that are long.
Everything is looking pretty.
Luke, trim the spent heads from the Salvia. They should flush back again. I agree with planting the bluebells near your conifer. They will take over the flower beds if you put them there. Your garden is lovely!
I'd plant the lupin in the ground, dig a big wide hole, plant to the depth of the soil in the pot. Water well, I'd also trim all the old flower spikes so the pant can concentrate it's energy on settling in, also remove any spent flowers on the new spikes before they set seed. That will also help it settle into its new spot x❤🇮🇪
A great idea, thank you so much. I think I am going to move them into the ground this morning x
Cumbria weather crazy, crazy... Who knows what tomorrow may bring. Love your garden guys! x
Thanks for the update! You are so pleasant to spend time with! Lupins here in California love to grow high in the forests in mountains with plenty of shade ❤
Noticed ashtray outside didn't know you smoked!!!
Ahh I don't - it was from when my Mam visited. She's working on quitting x
Gravel or pebbles in the pots on top of the soil will help keep your plants wetter for longer. The tall flower is an agapanthus 😊
Great vlog sweetheart I always enjoy your vlog xx. Garden is coming on nicely xxx♥️
Very timely video, I changed my plans and went to Waitrose and got one of those Lulu Guinness tote bags. Absolutely love it so thanks for mentioning it. Would’ve hated to pay eBay price for it. Such a lovely shopping experience going there too. Love their Almond croissants.🥐
I love all your content. To see Princess Maggie, Zara, and you brightens my day.
The lupins will survive as they are still green and growing. They are surprisingly hardy. You may need to cut off any broken/floppy stems to let it grow back stronger.
Much of my youth was spent with family in Bermondsey. Aunties sister married a Londoner so we would visit her and her family. Fun times with way lots of fond memories.
Hi luke my daughter was at the waitrose event she came over to see you she said it was a very good event. Love watching the garden taking shape I have not long moved and have a large garden and have the task of starting from scratch so getting some good ideas from yours.
Ahh Brenda she SO lovely! It was so nice of her to come and say hello x
I Noticed ashtray outside I didn't know you smoked!!! Luke 😮❤
Hi luke garden looks lovely olive tree is stunning and your right gardening is trial and error I had lupins last Yr but never really lasted I love them to ❤
Pop the lupins into a slightly shaded space. Your garden is looking lovely!
Great vlog Luke, garden is looking amazing. We seem to all be enjoying summer at last. Have a good week🐞
Hi Luke loved the vlog great goodies from waitrose, love how the garden is coming along it looks amazing, keeping on top of the garden will help keep it tdy they do take some looking after. love to you all xxx
My mother always read our teacups. Yes gardens take alot of time. Here in Canada we have only 5 to 6 months of growing so I love spending time with my hands planting. Only thing I don't enjoy are weeds. I laid block edging to replace railway ties which had rotted. I was lucky my sister had at least 300 blocks. I have only 5 left. Yes my garden is bigger than yours. I learned alot overcome years and several homes.
Winter here in Perth, Western Australia 🦘🌻🦘
Garden is looking good
Maggie is adorable ❤
Have a great week🌻🦘🌻
Luke your lupins will come back, put some of your pebbles in each of your pot plants, they will both look fab and match your garden plus keep the moisture in, tie a bit of string around your lupins, they will look a lot better and less likely to split if they blow down in the wind. You looked fab. I love your vlogs, my partner and I also love being in the garden. Xxx
Luke I would pop those lupins in the ground.
And in the dry weather water is the thing the plants want most. Pots dry out very quickly..your wisteria will climb your fence with some help and is one of the early flowers that bring the garden to life and the agapanthus will come back better each year.
You can't expect to know what every plant needs from you ,on the whole I would say you are doing well as a plant dad.
You will have failures but you will also have many wins well done. Xxx
If you trim off the dead salvia flowers it will keep blooming. I cut all dead flowers off most of the flowers and they will rebloom.
You are doing fantastically well. Gardening is a learning curve so it's worth keeping a few notes about what works and what didn't do so well. Remember to have fun that is very important. Hard work is important but respite is equally good for you x
Maybe multch the flower beds to retain moisture. It won't harm the fushia to prune it. Just watch a quick video to learn where to prune. Rule of thumb don't prune into the hard wood. You will get a better shape and more branches and flowers.
Oh how I love Sundays This vlog was a real treat as always Luke x
My nan used to read tea leaves. But never heard people doing it with coffee. 😂.xx
Hello 👋 My Dearest Friends: Luke, Zara, And Maggie--Happy Sunday Everyone 😊❤-Your Right: It’s Summer And Your Hair Should Stay Short.

Have A Wonderful Day My Friends--From: Your Friend In San Antonio, Texas USA🤠🇺🇸🤗🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I use plant stands for lupins they will bounce back. I sometimes cut them when they break or get to big.
😎 Your vlogs are a part of my Sunday evening chill. Thanks for that.
Love the vlog waitros goodies look lovely. X.
If a plant is dried out before you put it in garden or pot soak it in a bucket of water for a couple of hrs first.
Absolutely loved seeing what as in the Waitrose goody-bag!
Finally a new haircut. Looks so much better now! Well done! 👍
LOVE love your Backyard!!! It's so very inviting and both you and Zara did a fantastic job on it. I love your idea pulling back a foot or 2 to widen it. I recall you saying that in your previous video on your walk to give it depth. The Garden is glorious 😍 🙌 ✨️ 👌. I also am in love with the Olive tree vessel you brought for 79Lbs. Here in the US it would have cost easily over 150 US $$ OR more. Every single plant & tree love your yard. Please give sweet Maggie a Big hug and kiss from me. BTW: Your haircut looks great and your getting nice coloring tan from the wee Sun 🌞. 🤍🌹🤍
Sunshine 🌞 here all week in Oxfordshire. Hope you enjoy the wedding.
Happy Sunday
The garden is looking good 😊morning ❤
I like your haircut !! The garden is looking great. ❤🇨🇦
Lukeeeeeeeeee I want to meet you!!!! I love you ! 🌈💋💋
Yea Luke hairs good. ❤
Luke I love your haircut it is so nice and tidy. Get yourself a lottery ticket the next draw it’s s huge jackpot coming up.
Loving your vlogs ❤
The rug is nice luke but i think it needs to be much larger.
Your hair looks lovely Luke. One of my sons goes to one of the barbers that burns the stray hairs In the ears and nose he was a bit scared the first time but now he looks forward to it happening. Xx
Hi! The plant you couldn’t remember the name of is a Nemesia. Probably Wisley Vanilla. Nemesia come in lots of colours & flower for months. Also if you let some of flowers go to seed it will self seed & keep coming back. Can you tell they are one of my favourites 😜?. Maggie will probably like to like on the freshly turned over soil, so your plants may get a bit squished. Also think about getting some fertiliser for the plants - google is your friend in these cases. Just remember make sure everything-plants/fertiliser etc is Maggie friendly. Good luck!
We have bluebells in our front garden which my husband has been over it with the lawnmower so many times. But it comes back every year. Also have crocuses in the lawn. Xx
Don’t forget to add plant food and feed to borders and plant pots. Beautiful garden.loving home vlogs
Luke Your borders would be beautiful with a brick border and the white stones instead of mulch. I also put stones in the top of my pots keeps the squirrels from digging in them. Foxes idk
I would definitely have planted the lupins in the border as they have never done well for me in pots , the bluebells should do well under the trees as they are woodland plants also the hair looks great ! 😊
My youngest daughter shops in Waitrose, she loves their produce. She runs her own business so as she says “I deserve great foods to prep and cook” I do love their cheese sticks and the dips too! 👍👍👍👍👍
Years ago - long before tea bags - many people "read" tea leaves, my mother being one of them! My friends would all love to come for a cup of tea to have their tea leaves read. This happened all over Ireland as far as I know but the tradition died with the introduction of tea bags which is a shame!
Hair, looks good, especially for summer.
I like your hair longer but you are right in the summer it needs to be shorter.
Please film some vlogs like the ones you used to when you lived in your old flat I liked those vlogs you seemed happier when you lived there maybe the area was nicer?
Your house is lovely but I loved the feel of your vlogs from your flat going to watch some of those later.
I hope you are happy Luke and spending time with Mr C
Put your lupins in the border Luke, they’ll multiply and be much happier in the ground😊
Hi Luke. I Love Your Hair Short. It Suits You.
The Garden Looks Very Dry. If It's So Hot Needs A Good Water Every Night and Pots. The Garden Is Transformed looks Fantastic,
Have a Lovely Week. Xx 😊😘
Plants in terracotta pots dry out really fast so they are always thirsty Luke. Better off being planted in the garden boarder.
"Aga panthas" is how its pronounced! I love them. OOOO investigate cana (or cala?) Lillies, theyre bronze with red flowers, very elegant and glam!
The white ones are stunning!
Just remember bluebells can take over in the garden.
Oh NO!! don't get your hair cut short, before you said your were going to get it cut I was just thinking.... I really like your hair that much longer 😂 x
I'm sure a lot of people must know this but for those who don't, Vitamin D is very good for your mood, your well being and your overall attitude. Where we get Vitamin D is the Sun! Being that you guys spend a lot of time in gray and sunless days taking a Vitamin D supplement will help to make you feel a lot happier. If you would prefer foods, orange juice with vitamin d, tuna, mushrooms, egg yolks can also help. I just take a vitamin d supplement and happy I go.
nice vlog! but when are you adding stuff to the walls in your bedroom?
and will we be able to read the article about the house?
Pin lenghts od thin rope the wisteria will climb and then poles once at the top of fence for it grow along
My son (15) just got a Jo Malone cologne for his bday is he absolutely loves it.
Gentle suggestion buy a comprehensive gardening book for London area and read it.😊
❤️
My nan who sadly has passed used to read tea leaves 😜
I think the lupines just need more water otherwise they will wilt quite quickly if they dry out ! Good luck 😊
Hi Luke, agapanthus is pronounced like agga-PAN-thus. Looking lovely!
Looks like you new plants could do with watering especially now it’s hot .
Get a compost bin so you can put the clippings and veg peel, nice is behind the tree
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Luke, you should grow your hair out completely , you could blow dry it straight and use a little product to manage it . Also put it in a pony tail to keep it out of the way when needed !! 🙂
Just a garden comment - why haven’t you put the lupins into the border? They should be OK there and you can stake them. The garden is looking lovely. They do take up loads of time though - no matter what season it is. Thanks for adding links for your Waitrose friends. They all seem really good people. I must catch up with Dish!
Luv bluebells so much that my daughter now has bluebell tattoo
Aww you’re a handsome young man Luke and how you wear your hair is your business. It might just be me, but I forget when you wear your hair longer and have facial hair how much you remind me of a young George Michael 🤦🏻♀️. Not sure if you’ve heard this before, but meant in a nice way. Love the updates and seeing you guys having fun!
