I love all the little paths and places to wander through. It seems like many different areas make this generous garden seem even larger. The nature pond is lovely. I have always kept fish ponds with strict demands on filtering the water, etc, and al surprised and impressed at how lovely this little nature pond is. ❤ edit if pete can think of it, he coud keep a saucer of water with some small stones in it on the greenhouse bench for any butterflies that find themselves confused. I imagine they go in because its warm, then get a bit dehydrated and ar trapped.

He used to have a shelter all around to stop herons eating all the fish. But one winter the snow brought it all down. Now it's a self care nature pond, but I bet it was still lovely when he had fish. But now he has frogs instead 😂 it's a fair trade, I think. Thanks for the lovely comment. All the best Martin

Pete keeps a lovely garden! I appreciate it’s biodiversity and the moss left on the rocks. Not only does it give the garden a more established feel, it also helps retain moisture in the dry months. I stopped removing moss once I learned that it sequesters 3x the amount of CO2 as an equal area of lawn. The hate is lovely, and there is always something special about a water feature! About crocus it already bloomed. Goo on you for not pulling it, bilbs like to keep their leaves for long enough to build strength for next year. The leaves will die back as soon as ir gets warm enough for short sleeves! Thank you for your light touch at this special place.

Thanks for a great video! How interesting the plants you showed us. I felt the beauty of the place immediately! It is the secret garden feeling that one gets when one is alone with nature. Of course there are nettles! And bees sometimes and other insects and weeds and such but they add to the beauty of nature. Here in the States we used to give nettle plants to the chickens because they ate them. And that is part of the charm of a secret garden, one man's weed is another man's dinner! Ha! Ha! The feeling of the garden for me was that there was always something to gaze at and wonder how nature works as it evolves through the seasons. I suspect it is our own nature saluting Mother Nature and looking for ways to be nurtured by her. George from Florida, USA

I do like the gate, the rooster vane, and love the water features, but his were pretty well “hidden” amongst everything. I just found your channel and I like what I saw in this one. You did a good job working around everything in the garden. You were very mindful of respecting Pete’s garden. Your hand weed pulling was neat.

I wish I could see it in person there is something so soul-satisfying about visiting a garden like this. I'm sure that Pete knows what a treasure he found in you, tell him this old gardener in Florida enjoyed the tour of his garden very much. (think you might want to come across the pond to help out in my little slice of paradise?:)

Oh, thank you 😊 🙏 Very kind. He's also an awesome man, he's got loads of skills, so he is going to teach me how to do metal welding 😁 he made all the metal work in his gardens. If I'm ever in Florida, you will be the first garden that I come to! 😂 it'd make a very crazy video, longest gardeners commute ever 😁

You are great and your knowledge of plants is amazing. I really enjoy your videos 😊❤!

Beautiful garden! You did a great job tidying it up. I much prefer gardens like this over the pristine, organized ones. My favorite part: all the moss covered rocks and the little white duck you tried to run over with your mower. 😄 Not a fan of ivy though.

Haha 😂 well spotted. I almost killed Jemima Puddle Duck 😁 I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden, at least I know I'm not going mad. The moss covered rocks are a beautiful touch, you're right. I'm not surprised about your thoughts on Ivy, though. I seem like the only person who likes it 😂

Good job I like what you are doing

Are these elder people no longer able to mow their lawn? I love their gardens. Mine is a large yard with flower gardens in different areas. But nothing is fenced in like theirs. Looked much better! 😊

I think most probably still could, but I generally offer to do it as opposed to being asked 👍😁 I'm glad you like the garden 😊 ita was a very calm and wild place. Thanks for the comment Martin

У русского художника Поленова есть картина " Бабушкин сад". Сад Пита я бы назвала " Дедушкин сад" . Очень похож : уютный, немного запущенный, со множеством растений и милейших придумок.

I have seen that painting 😊 apart from the building in the background you have it perfectly 🥰 What a wonderful painting grandma's garden is. Thank you very much Martin.

Loved Pete’s garden. He differently had some plants! One thing I didn’t like was all that ivy! Sorry I know y’all seem to love your ivy in the UK! But sheesh it’s as bad as brambles! Best of all I loved the gate that youwalked thru. It was beautiful

Haha, no one seems to like ivy in the US 😂 I love it, it's easy if it's kept under control. Super good plant for wildlife 😁 and it'll grow almost anywhere and in almost full shade or sun. But I'm never going to convince anyone 😅 I'm glad you liked the garden, I totally agree about the gates. Pete made them himself decades ago. What a guy he is. Thanks again Martin.

😊😊 good

It's a work in progress 😂 I've had the kids out helping me this year (I use the word help very loosely) 😁 but they are already eating radishes and baby carrots. Thanks for the comment, and as you say, I'll see you in the next one 😁👍

What about flowers like, Tiger Lilies, Geraniums, Tulips, Cannas ( have to cut down and bury roots in sand and leave in like a garage somewhere dark), Crocus are pretty! They usually flower in February or later by Chicago IL. I like the garden but I think it can use some brighter flowers. Love the daffodils!

@martinthegardenguy

I agree about the flowers 😊👍 it could certainly use more. I didn't even get chance to delve into the borders, but I noticed plenty of space. I'm growing some "snapdragons" and "snow in summer" to plant here when they are ready. I've got spare, so Pete can have them 😁 I like the idea of geraniums, he's got some in his other garden so I'll transplant a few over 👍 excellent suggestion. Thank you.

@@martinthegardenguy I moved Chicago to the desert of AZ. Mostly dust, ground that you jump on a spade shovel to dig and it goes no where! Cactuses, all kinds. Most of the desert dead in summer and greener in the winter!

Oh wow, I couldn't even imagine gardening in a desert 😂 I'd have to grow cactus. Do you still have gardeners in that sort of climate? It sounds like I'd have to be a winter gardener if I lived there 😁

@@martinthegardenguy some people have e hot houses. So it’s like a clear building with lighting. Grow vegetables. AZ is one of the states that supplies a majority of vegetables for our state and others. Mid Arizona down to the border is more humid, heavy rains that are like flash floods because the dirt is so hard it can’t just absorb it. The Northwest portion in Flagstaff has winter with a lot of snow, spring summer fall. They are also higher elevation. I’ll have to take some pics and send you. Where I live it’s just hot dry desert with hardly any rain. It’s a trip! Totally different than Chicago IL.

Wonderful garden to play in. I haven’t noticed in previous videos the flash cutting to different views. I find it difficult to watch as it takes my brain more than one second to process a scene then I’m looking at a different or previous scene.

I shall certainly bear that in mind in the future. Don't forget, I've been gardening for decades. But only doing video and editing for a matter of months 😊 Thanks Martin.

Great garden and great job! How did you become the garden guy? There are so many lawn people, but you really understand the plants

Oh, thank you 😊 you're very kind. How did I become the garden guy? Honestly, it is quite boring. I have loved gardens and plants since I can remember, and I didn't like working for anyone else (I'm far too recalcitrant), so I started my own business. I did ok, so now I have time to help some people for free. Although most of my work is paid of course. I've got kids and a mortgage like anyone else 😁😅 Thanks for that comment, you made me think back 🤔 All the best Martin

Love it! I was doing a similar customers garden like this today and it made me smile to see another nature loving garden. What’s the handy dandy fork like tool that you weeded the paths with called? And is the rake attachment a wolf garten? Fave part was his iron gate 🎉

Oh hi 👋 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Oh yes, nature gardens are my favorite. Although I love most gardens 😂 The fork is made by a company called Roam Wild. The are some links in the description if you need help find them. You're right about the other one, Wolf Garten 😁 some of my favorite kit. And it saves space in the van 😂 Thanks again Martin
