🥰 That means a lot to us! We don’t feel like natural hosts at all 😅…but we’re happy with what we’re blessed with here and would love for others to see what is possible in a small garden.

Thank you for the video. I don't understand English, but I understand the language of flowers. Therefore, everything is clear to me. Your flower beds are beautiful. Russia. Tatarstan.

Beautiful border. I really like your plants and have a lot of the same ones in my own garden. Interesting that the Argyranthemum is the Danish national flower. My home town Helston in Cornwall has Lily of the Valley and every 8th May which is called Flora Day, people attach it to their lapels and people dance through the streets and houses. I live in Cheshire now and really miss my home town. Your garden is stunning.

I keep chipping away at my lawn grass. I would love to have my garden similar to yours. The rain has been so bad this year my grass is sodden. I have brought one bed forward and made another bed and love having the extra room for more perennials and bushes!

We completely understand. And honestly, it was one of our best decisions.

This video got me thinking about how exactly to store my seeds I collected this year (trying for the first time, I usually just purchase new plants but this is getting more and more expensive). Seems some seeds like the fridge, some room temp, moisture content is important as well as storing in paper so they don’t mold (I bought special little jars for this purpose boohoo!) Anyway, lovely informative video even for those of us in different climate zones. ❤

Do seed collecting! We store all of our seeds in paper coffee filters and keep them in our garden shed. For those needing cold, we sometimes use the freezer… but it’s easier for us to sow them in December and put them in the greenhouse (it’s not heated)… that way they go thru the temperature changes (cold, etc) without us having to work so hard. Cuttings, too! Those have been a great way for us to propagate and get plants to fill our spaces. I could go on and on about seed collecting 😂… but I’ll stop boring you now. Let me know if I can help tho.

Your garden is my dream! It’s beautiful. I can never seem to get mine as bushy as I want for that wild cottage feel. So I appreciate you naming them all. I will be going seed hunting soon!

@perennial-garden

Thank you for watching! Planting very close together helps us get that full cottage garden look - it also means that we have to move plants often when one overtakes another... but that's easy to do with perennials. Good luck seed hunting :)

Thank you for watching, Paulie! We love to talk about our little garden... not very big, but we're trying to pack a punch.

Your garden looks incredible! I’m amazed this is its first year. Mine is on its second year and doesn’t look half as good. It’s all perennials and shrubs. I think I should consider including annuals. I also need to improve my soil. I live on a river and my soil is at least 90% sand. And before I torn it out to make room for beds, I had tired old turf grass that surly depleted the limited nutrients available in my sandy soil

@perennial-garden

10 ай бұрын

Yes, for this middle flower bed, it's the first year... the others we've been working on since we moved to this house in 2018. Do try adding a few annuals... it's how we keep color and blooms throughout the whole spring/summer. When a perennial finishes (and if we're not letting it go to seed), we cut it back and add an annual to give that 'empty' spot some color. And you're right about the soil. An easy trick is to collect the leaves that fall on your property in the autumn and let them sit in plastic bags (we use big garbage bags). Then we add the leaves, almost like mulch, on top of our soil at the end of winter/start of spring. We also make compost all year with food waste, clippings, etc... and spread that at the end of the summer and again at the start of spring. It helps the soil for sure.

What a great transformation! I love all the colors in the garden! Beautiful!

Sorry I’m so chatty today but as far as hand weeding from the walkway, I have found after years of using chemical herbicides and fighting torrential weeds in my walkways, I decided to hand weed this year. At first it is daunting but if you are diligent and stay with it, the amount of weeds drops about 90% and it’s not bad at all!

When you deadhead do you pitch the spent flowers into the soil instead of removing the recently spent flowers? How old are you guys? You are both energetic and agile with squatting and getting up easily.

Hi, Carol! First, thanks for saying that we seem agile and energetic! We'll take it as a huge compliment. haha. We're 46 and 41.
