Lifting and Dividing Perennials Joes Country Garden April 2024

Divide and conquer. I've been digging up and dividing perennials where the hard landscape is being changed. This is the perfect time to do this job and can save you a lot of money, creating plants for free (well with a bit of work).
In this video I take a tour of the garden and make sure there is a bit less of me and bit more of the plants in shot. I'm lifting and dividing some irises and heeling them in to the veg beds. It's exciting to see what colour flowers they'll develop.
Slight clicking on the microphone. Still working on the sound.

    There's something very rewarding about digging up and dividing plants and getting more free plants. So lucky to have the existing veg garden as a place to hold/heel them in. The wooden beds organising the chaos of the hardscaping is so satisfying.

    I like the evening light, too. On the other hand I'm a late riser. And summertime makes my social jetlag even worse as the light levels tell me one thing - and my body clock follows those- and society tells me I have to get up at seven (six according to "real time" and light levels) to get my kids to school in time....

    Nice fork! My price tools are my stainless steel fork & spade I’ve had for twenty years. I’m very careful never to leave them where they may be pilfered. You’ve got plenty of choice plants there Joe. They just need replanting in freshly dug beds in an arrangement that pleases you. An enjoyable if lengthy task.

    Great point about digging up plants and dividing them. Best way to fill out a garden without breaking the bank. Using the 2litre pot gave it real context. This channel is a real revalation, great advice and knowledge sharing but feels like having a chat with an experienced garden you've bumped into and just want to talk gardens. 'Proper gardening' indeed

    I'm hoping you will do something like growing veggies for beginners if possible. I learned to grow veg from Mr. Geoffrey Smith in the 70's TV series, but over the years life got in the way and I drifted away from gardening. Now I want to get back to it as I had great success with tomatoes when Covid hit and I've been bitten by the bug again. Looking forward to your future videos. Good luck with all your plans!
