If you've got a question, it's not too late! Ask me here! ⬇
Nice info naill and as always put together well with your lovely clips around the garden. Exciting times.
A wet & windy Q’s time may have been quite funny lol. 😅
Hi Niall will you have time in the coming season to share updates in and around you greenhouse. Thanks as always for sharing your garden.
Great Q&A, so many topics covered. I wouldn't know where to start commenting. Just you have encouraged me going forward for the new season, I have a back garden to re design, so I will give it a god think before I go to buy. I do have a mini hoe, too. I find it so handy, but I love my long handled one that has a fork idea on the back side of it. Good re spending the 10 grand for the future. Wow, so many cameras, I'm intrigued. Aw eforever garden made me teary hearing that, years blessed, I have yet to find mine. Thank you Niall, as always, you are superb at covering so much in your videos.
What a great Q & A thanks Niall. A quick question about cameras, do you have any wildlife cameras set up in your garden? I bet there’s all sorts of wildlife roaming around at night.
I loved this Q&A Niall 💚
Very interesting Q+As, I totally agree with your last answer. So if an expert like you Niall feels that way, we are all on a journey (good question) My garden is still not established with problem areas, but still feel inspired to try different things. I think bulb buying might be a start to the year. I am in the UK, Black Country, West Midlands.
Any plant you brought back from another country during ur flying visits?
When did you buy your garden
That was just a really lovely video. Thank you Niall.
Thanks for all the information. Cannot wait to see how you transform the new borders.
Happy gardening.
Good morning, My Dear, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
I'm glued to the screen💗 👀💗
I loved hearing more about you ❤️
It's chilly here in our Florida winter!🥶
We have had two early morning in the 30's F! 🧣🧥🧤
Stay warm and I hope you and Kenny have a marvelous 2023!
Nice information. Great stuff. Love the indoor setting as well.
Hi Niall, good afternoon, thanks for a very interesting Q and A,thanks for the bulb answer, mine are really coming up now and snowdrops starting too. I'm not worried now I know they'll be ok. Lots to start thinking about doing in the garden, but it's a but wet just now, been a nicecsay today, dry up to now, take care and thanks again,happy gardening x🌼🌷
Awesome talk ……Greetings from Long Branch , NJ USA
Great Q & A.👏👏👏🇨🇦
Always a pleasure to watch your videos Niall. I agree with you on the Sarcococca, lovely winter fragrance. However my partner says the smell is like cat wee lol
Great Q&A Niall. Perfect for an early Sunday morning. It’s raining ☔️ here in Los Angeles as well.
I have a hori hori and I love it. Has a straight edge and a serrated edge. Use it for digging, cutting, weeding, making a hole for a transplant. So useful. 🙂
In your videos you refer to “we”. Does we like to garden?
I love what you said about future proofing your garden! I’m developing my brand new garden with that very thing in mind! Well done!!
First, let me say that one of my favorite things about your videos is that they are easy to watch. The pace of the editing is usually just right, and your writing is always well thought out, thorough, and informative. Although you may often deny it, when presenting a subject you have a confident, assured demeanor and your passion and enthusiasm shine through. And that’s inspiring. Thanks from Florida.
Lovely video, enjoyed the questions and your answers to them 🥰💚
You may not read this with my late reply here from the states, but you did answer my question if that was your forever garden as I thought you would. I believe most gardeners have a plan and want to leave what they have even better for the future.
❤ This vlog. Horizon horizon is my fav tool also. Had to buy a second one as hubby and I would both go for it in the garden😂.
Hi Niall, enjoyed your Q n A video but absolutely loved the plants in the background. Is it possible to share a photo of them or do a quick pan round in the next video?
Thanks, Jane
Niall, young-ish?! I'm in my mid-60s, started gardening in 2020, you are not youngish, you are YOUNG!!! There is so much more I could have done for myself even 20 years ago that I don't have the strength for any more…but I plod along, doing what I can, and getting help when I need to. You are absolutely right, future-proof your garden! My raised beds are only 8" high, now I have arthritis in my knees and 2' high would be so much easier to work with (but would also require much more soil & much more frequent watering)…for those in my position, replacing your third favorite tool with a long-handled scuffle hoe allows you to cut weeds off just below the surface without having to kneel or squat. I won't ask questions because I can't grow plants you recommend in my cold climate & my growing area is MUCH smaller than yours, best to leave the questions to those in similar situations so you can help them out. Very enjoyable video, thanks much…looking forward to those tree guild videos!!!
Information about agriculture which is very useful and adds inspiration to my agriculture, thank you for sharing
