That rose near the Verbascum – what a beautiful color! and a lovely combination! Love your beautiful garden – and I am experiencing everything you spoke of – so love the commentary! I'll have to get that rose for my garden.
Alexandra, wonderful episode! Thank you for posting. You really inspire me with ideas for my own garden!
Inspirational and informative, thank you! And what a beautiful dog! What breed is it?
Your irises are gorgeous
Hi, is it safe to have a castor oil plant when you have a dog.? I have not bought one as the seeds are poisonous?
Like the verbascum very much. Cotinus or smoke tree is well worth growing. The atmospheric flowers are breathtaking en masse. I saw a huge one at the North Carolina Arboretum. Downtown Falls Park in Greenville has a smaller variety of smoke tree. So lovely!
Appreciated your discussion about self seeders so interesting and helpful. Have a great week!
Lovely! Thank you so much.
Lovely Verbascum.
Thankyou! Both practical and inspiring, as ever. Please would you say how you care for birds in your garden? I saw a multi=armed device surrounded by feeders and would like to have something similar. Have you a pond/bird-bath, too?
Beautiful 😊
Love to see the tours of your garden !
Wonderful tour! I’m hoping to have an allium spread like yours. Your flowers are beautiful!
This was such a treat 🥰🌹 Thank goodness for self seeders, they are the gift that keeps on giving 🙌🏻❤️
What a beautiful garden. The colours are spectacular!
Alexandra, I realized something about your videos, we have a lot of these plants going on in folk's gardens around town here, (but not the latest varieties) but not all in the SAME garden. Kudos! Gorgeous. So many beautiful things.
Thank you for sharing the garden looks beautiful.
Lovely garden🌸💖🌸
Your June garden is dreamy! I love how natural everything looks mingling together thanks to the self seeders. And I appreciate that you leave some weeds for the pollinators, so important! I hope that you inspire more gardeners to do this. I love the wild violets, clovers, and even queen Ann lace that share my garden. Thank you and happy gardening
Looks beautiful
That rose and verbascum combination is just gorgeous, I’ve also had a lot of things flop over, every year I tell myself I need to support everything before they start to flop but I always forget and end up having to chop things back. Thank you for also showing the weedy bits, even beautiful gardens like yours cant always be perfect so this makes me feel a little better about all the weeds I have popping up. Lovely video as always, thank you for sharing your garden and tips with us ❤️
So beautiful❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful garden! Thank you for showing how to separate Iris, very helpful.
I allow common mullein, daisy fleabane, and queen Anne's lace (three common "weeds" here) to grow more or less where they will. A good self sower in my garden is Anise hyssop (the common purple variety). Bees and especially butterflies love it.
I like the sweet scent that clover brings to the garden. I miss that since I removed our lawn for more planting space.
Thank you for your video, It would be nice to make a video about the bird feeding with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), how , why and when feed them.
Looks beautiful 💚
Your iris's are gorgeous and I understand bind weed infestation. I'm here in Seattle, which has a wet climate, so bind weed loves it here. However, we also have yellow buttercup, which is just about as invasive. During summer, I am at constant war with these two horrible weeds. Our climate is also mild though, so buttercup is even obvious during winter so I pull a lot even in December and January..
Who the hell presses dislike on any garden video….the two people who did it are sick and blind for beauty.
I love your videos. They are so cosy and I love your accent! Wonderful garden and wonderful lady!
Your garden is absolutely stunning, thank you for sharing it with all of us ! Everything about your channel is lovely ! 😊💗
Such beautiful garden! Thank you for sharing. Loved the soft colors and the birds wow.
You look very lovely wearing this color.
Very beautiful garden with so many different colors and textures! May I know what the smaller/taller alliums are?
I’m catching up on these wonderful older videos and I really enjoyed the baby bird observations <3 Thank you so much for all the work that goes into these videos. It’s a place of peace for many of us, I’m sure.
I just love your garden
Thank you showing it to all of us
