    Great video! Many thanks, Alexandra. It seems that pots will be a big trend, however I heard one of the BBC gardening professionals say on a recent radio broadcast show (I listen to many podcasts) that it is much harder to care for a plant in hot weather in a pot as the roots cannot look around for water or nutrition as they can in a garden bed. This huge disadvantage of pots is rarely mentioned in gardening discussions. When I heard the gardener comment I immediately thought of how much work it is watering the pots on my patio in spring/summer/autumn compared with those in the garden beds, which somehow manage to scavenge for water/food when needed. I know the people at Glee mention irrigation systems but I have yet to see a nice-looking, convenient, reliable irrigation system designed for pots. I see many apartments with balconies here in Melbourne and yet very few have serious container gardens.

    A trend mentioned at GLEE that I am interested in is VegTrugs (I have one) but these are a different world to pots and require practice. Mine always dries out, even though mulched and watered daily. I have a lot to learn. The baby turnips I planted in it a few weeks ago produced a few glorious leaves (given to our spoiled budgerigars who loved them!) and tiny, pea-sized turnips, before bolting. Oh dear. Out they went. At garden centres they fill those trugs with so many densely packed plants at a time, that I can't see how that can work. I tried transplanting a tomato in there a month or so ago as part of overwintering trials and it looked shocked and stopped growing so I took it out again and put it back in a pot. By the way, I have a successfully overwintered tomato plant that you can see on my channel, with three green tomatoes. I will see if they ripen. Again Alexandra, I loved this video! Great job! 🙂

    it is a shame that the show was so empty, no big crowds at all 🙁 it shows that people do not really care about plants and don`t really want to learn 🙁

    Thanks so much for posting this fun show. Patio gardens are in. Hooray! Nothing like being trendy and unaware of it! 😅Necessity is the mother of garden (fashion). Today someone gave us two ornamental peach 🍑 trees saplings for growing in pots. So excited! The variety is “Bonfire” the leaves remain red all year. Have a great day!

    At 0:30 I spotted at senecio angel wings. I planted one last year in the garden and it was adorable, extremely eye-catching. It wintered well but come spring it was full of different kind of aphids and in the end it dried up and died. I still don't know if I gave it too much or too little water

    I just love those ceramic pots you showed. Can’t find anything like that where I live in Los Angeles. It’s pretty unbelievable.
