- A selection of bits and pieces from June. Flame flowers, Peonies, Celmisia, Tomatoes, rare lilac, pinching out lavander, amongst quite a bit more.
A couple of comments answered.....along with various digressions and meanderings that have on occasions nothing whatsoever to do with plants.
This old granny is sitting inside this afternoon in the foothills of the Oregon Cascades where the temps are reaching 100. I'm having the best time chuckling as you take us on your June tour. Never know what you are going to say next. You and your garden are inspiring and so much fun. Thank you!
Thank you. Lovely garden and you make me smile, especially about Thomas's pot mania.
Lovely garden tour...so much to look at. I love the peonies and the lupines are 2 of my favorites. Your method of growing tomatoes is something I've never seen before...very interesting. Thank you for sharing your garden, very special!
"Lady in the bath" - I was holding my breath waiting for what was going to come next😀 Thanks Malcolm for a lovely video, the view of the garden at the 40 min mark is lovely and watching the dogs in the water made me smile. The election is sorted and England won their game yesterday(Switzerland), My brother is smiling in heaven, its a good week for him. Regards from Canada.
You can surely take credit for it, its your design, plant choices, and care that created an environment for birds, insects, frogs and animals to live. The dogs don't kill the hedgehogs? My cats kill all my chipmunks.😢
Yep! My mom taught me that one about the buttercups!! We learned it as if you put a buttercup under someone's chin and their chin turned yellow, they liked butter.
I remember putting butterrcups under the chin as a kid to see if people liked butter. I’m 50 and in New Zealand, so it’s something that must have come here from the ‘old country’.
I bought Celmisia spectabilis from you in October 2000 for £5. Like yourself I successfully divided that original plant eventually filling 3 large terracotta pots, then about 8 years ago they started dying off to the point where I now have none left.
My US Navy dress blues had buttoned fly. Thirteen buttons. That reminds me of the bathroom scene in the move The Last Detail. Jack Nicholson is a sailor talking to some Marines who ride him about losing something with those thirteen buttons. Jack replies,. “If I was a marine I wouldn’t need to F with no thirteen buttons. I’d just take my hat off”
Gardens look fantastic Malcom 🤩 I’m definitely going to be on the hunt for one of those Syringa Aureovarirgata what a lovely stunning shrub, I need one 😂. Look forward to your perennial seed sowing vids and progression 👍🏻
Best Agro-Comedy around. The garden is beautiful. Thank you.
A pleasure! Informative, funny, and interesting- thanks!
absolutely beautiful garden. thanks Malcolm
Chinese meadow rue are a beautiful plant. I believe some would love wonderful in your garden.
Totally agree on the London grime. Nothing like black London bogies. Great video thanks again Malcolm.
Thank you Malcom. When you called the dogs fat bastards, my Granddaughter said, that reminds me I've got some jaffa cakes in the kitchen.
I think you're correct and it was butter. Love the trips out with the terriers so yes a video of them as you get hooligans would be great. I'm a spaniel man these days but had plenty of laarl (little) killers when I was younger. Also agree with being lucky, I'm further west out near Shap, looking out towards the fells above Haweswater from the garden. I couldn't go back to suburban life let alone city life these days.
Absolutely love this vlog and looking at your garden.. over here in Tassie where I’m still waiting for the pigeons to arrive..I have been busy planting more roses in the hope they might survive the bombardment of the bloody possums .. and if i see another Tiger snake this year we are moving back to UK .. enough is enough!!
Thank you for lady in the bath will be growing a plant and using it at some party i hold each month ty
If you put a buttercup under your chin it meant , you liked butter. We used to do this when I was a kid.😊
