The Bluebells would do very well under the conifer, it would provide the 'woodland' conditions they so love and would help contain them to prevent them spreading everywhere. The garden is looking really lovely, It is so good to finally be able to enjoy some lovely sunny weather! Have a good week Luke Sarah and Maggie. ⛱🌤🪴🌹🌻🥀

Hi luke Love your channel. Be careful with bluebells they do take over I'm still digging them out after ten years. The lupins will do better in the borders. Just watch the slugs .all the best x

My hostas the slugs/snails love it . Nothing left super sad

Lupins have a very long tap root and like nice deep soil. They can be grown in pots but grow much stronger and healthier in the ground. I would cut the sad looking flowers off - they have had it - and you might get another flush. Plants we grow in our garden originate from different environments all over the world and l can’t stress enough the importance of finding out what conditions they like and try and give them what they will be happy with. You wouldn’t plant a rose in the desert! Good luck 😀

Thanks for saying it correctly. I couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s related to an onion I believe. I’ve grown them long ago in Southern California and they are big! Lovely plants!

A couple of simple gardening tips Luke. Just hoe around your plants once or twice a week to keep the weeds down. Much easier than having to get down on your hans and knees ! Always check the label ( or google) to ensure that any plant you buy is suitable to grow in a container Saves a lot of disappointment. You’ve done so well for your first gardening season 👨‍🌾👨‍🌾👨‍🌾👍👍

Yes as someone else said the. Firework looking plant is indeed an Aga pan thus .I had a single like yours 5 years ago and this year I have counted 20 coming through.They do spread and keep multiplying but look stunning.I think for a novice you are doing amazing and you never learn and grow unless you experience highs and lows in anything.Love your channel so much❤

Hi Luke, I loved❤ this Waitrose Vlog exclusive. I work for Waitrose in Ruislip . Thanks for talking very Highly of our shops and hopefully boosting our sales.

Sunday mornings are made with your vlogs! The garden is really coming along, looking good. Have a great weekend! X

You've amassed a good selection of plants. Just a suggestion...when you've extended the border. Add a good layer of bark as a mulch. After watering,it will keep the moisture in the ground💞

@Shopaholic2000

Your plants will really appreciate feeding, especially annuals and bulbs something like miracle grow or tomorite, feed is essential for plants in pots/containers. I'm sure if you cut the lupins and plant them in the border with some compost they'll come again, if they grow tall you might need to stake them with bamboo canes and string. Gardening is addictive😉

Luke your videos get better and better every time you post. I love your home renovations and garden. Also you look fabulous and happy. Thank you for sharing your life and home. I’m already excited to see your home at Christmas. Cheers. The weather in Saskatchewan is wet, lots of wind and thunderstorms. We are waiting for some hot days.

Your garden looks amazing you've done a great job there. Little tip for you luke. Buy a spray bottle and put about 2 teaspoon size amount of washing up liquid in the spray bottle and then fill with water. And spray it on your greenery/plants I.E you have with the big leafs. It keeps the bugs off and you can buy some copper tape from garden centres and tape it round the bottom of your pots that stops the slugs climbing up and munchin on your plants. Your doing amazing in your home. Rember to have you time aswel. Have a lovely rest of your week😊

Hi Luke. I reckon you should add a simple irrigation line along the fence. They are dead easy to install and you can either turn the tap on in the evening or set it on a timer. I planted 26 trees along my driveway and installed some irrigation and it's a game changer.

Another great chilled vlog Luke, I’m loving the home & garden renovations, looking fab ❤

Garden looks lovely Luke… any new plants always give them a good soak before planting up, never plant dry on dry soil, gives your plants a good start when planting, drooping means thirsty, nearly dead, cut off to give plant a better start. Hope that helps, watching this I wanted to jump in car & give you a hand lol ❤

The plant with the small white flowers looks like a Philadelphus ( mock orange). So pleased that you've widened your borders as I feel they always look so much better. A good mulch helps the ground retain water and prevents the growth of weeds and according to Monty Don giving your plants a really good water once a week is better than " little and often", this works well for my garden. Also horticultural grit on the top of your pots looks good and also prevents dry out, especially on your olive tree.

Gardening learning curve, those lupins looked really root-bound. Always soak your plants in a bucket of water (for at least an hour) b4 planting. The best thing about gardening is . . . it's all about the future, there is always something to look forward to. This is why it helps people with mental health issues . . . I know!

The garden looks stunning Luke. You've both done an amazing job. Now the sunshine has finally arrived, perfect timing to sit back, relax & watch how the plants develop this year. Well done! Enjoy it to the fullest. Lots of love ❤x

Plants always droop when replanted, its the shock... they do bounce back with water. I really recommend you watching gardeners world, i know, i know, but you'll pick up valuable hints. The one thats just beeon on had about lupins. It was toby buckland and a young woman. Honestly.

Glorious day here in Hamsterley ( Teesdale ) Your Lupins may be better off planted in the ground Luke, they have long roots. Your garden is really coming along nicely..😊♥️

Watch out for soil against the fence panels though otherwise they will rot. Having a level difference between a lawn and a flower bed is, I’ve found, really helpful for maintaining a clean edge.

Always look forward to your videos you always seem to have a fun time. I agree your hair looks better shorter

Hi Luke, I grow lupins an have lots of them. As already mentioned they do have big roots but the plants can be tough as old boots. You can make extra plants from them by dividing the roots. They are extremely thirsty plants because of the big flowers so if you want to keep them in pots I would add some water retaining gel. They will do much better in the ground. Also just cut off those floppy leaves. And keep a look out for lupin aphid, it's a real pain. Btw check those bluebells aren't Spanish, they can be very invasive if put in the ground. Love the garden, looks great. Keep up the good work. ❤

Dear Luke, I enjoy watching the vlogs you create so much. It's so nice to see how proud you are of English produce and how high quality it is. Can't wait to fly to England for the first time and get to know the places and produce of your country.

Good morning! I also have the same dilemma with my hair. When its short (bob style) I want it long and vice versa. The garden is looking so good. Just in time for the summer time and summer parties with friends. The interior of the house is looking better every day that goes by. I can't wait to see the walls painted. It will be such a change. Today it's quite cloudy, and expecting rain in some parts of the Spanish northeast coast, and tonight it's a night that we celebrate Saint John's night with parties and big bonfires until sunrise, with lots of food and drinks 🎉🍾🥂 We need rain so much, but hope the rain doesn't spoil the evening. Have a great Sunday you three! ❤

Hi Luke! I quite love the buzz cut on you because we can see more of your handsome face. 😉 Garden is looking splendid. Great job guys! I was going to say large river rocks would look lovely on the edges of the plant bedding, but brick works as well. Have a fab week ahead! Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊🏡🌞

Loved the vlog. I'm having a difficult time with my health so your vids really cheer me up❤ What a nice haul from Waitrose! The garden is looking great btw👌🏼xx

Luke, trim the spent heads from the Salvia. They should flush back again. I agree with planting the bluebells near your conifer. They will take over the flower beds if you put them there. Your garden is lovely!

The wisteria will shoot out runners soon. Have something they can grab onto, they go fast. The flowers that are spent, you can cut back and most times they will rebloom. The lupine needs to go into the ground. They have tap roots that are long. Everything is looking pretty.

If you put some gravel in the top of your pots ie the olive tree et c it will keep the moisture in saving the planet crying out in the heat You only have to buy a couple of bags of pea gravel it's cheaper too It's very decorative xxxx

@suziejames7510

7 күн бұрын

Very true, I put gravel on the top of the compost on all my plants and so they only need a good water once a week.

I'd plant the lupin in the ground, dig a big wide hole, plant to the depth of the soil in the pot. Water well, I'd also trim all the old flower spikes so the pant can concentrate it's energy on settling in, also remove any spent flowers on the new spikes before they set seed. That will also help it settle into its new spot x❤🇮🇪

Hi Luke A layer of gravel / pea shingle around the base of Olive tree would look really nice and May stop soil drying out too quickly . The garden is really looking nice.

Cumbria weather crazy, crazy... Who knows what tomorrow may bring. Love your garden guys! x

Thanks for the update! You are so pleasant to spend time with! Lupins here in California love to grow high in the forests in mountains with plenty of shade ❤

From an Australian I absolutely love your videos you and Zara are so English it amazing and also love it when you say bits and bobs. The tall purple plants are agapanthus. Keep up the great work.

Gravel or pebbles in the pots on top of the soil will help keep your plants wetter for longer. The tall flower is an agapanthus 😊

I love all your content. To see Princess Maggie, Zara, and you brightens my day.

Much of my youth was spent with family in Bermondsey. Aunties sister married a Londoner so we would visit her and her family. Fun times with way lots of fond memories.

The lupins will survive as they are still green and growing. They are surprisingly hardy. You may need to cut off any broken/floppy stems to let it grow back stronger.

Very timely video, I changed my plans and went to Waitrose and got one of those Lulu Guinness tote bags. Absolutely love it so thanks for mentioning it. Would’ve hated to pay eBay price for it. Such a lovely shopping experience going there too. Love their Almond croissants.🥐

Hi Luke loved the vlog great goodies from waitrose, love how the garden is coming along it looks amazing, keeping on top of the garden will help keep it tdy they do take some looking after. love to you all xxx

I had a lupin in a big pot for around 3 years but eventually it didn't look happy. Maybe yours would be happier in the border. Great vlog as always.

Pop the lupins into a slightly shaded space. Your garden is looking lovely!

I Noticed ashtray outside I didn't know you smoked!!! Luke 😮❤

My mother always read our teacups. Yes gardens take alot of time. Here in Canada we have only 5 to 6 months of growing so I love spending time with my hands planting. Only thing I don't enjoy are weeds. I laid block edging to replace railway ties which had rotted. I was lucky my sister had at least 300 blocks. I have only 5 left. Yes my garden is bigger than yours. I learned alot overcome years and several homes.

Winter here in Perth, Western Australia 🦘🌻🦘 Garden is looking good Maggie is adorable ❤ Have a great week🌻🦘🌻

Luke I would pop those lupins in the ground. And in the dry weather water is the thing the plants want most. Pots dry out very quickly..your wisteria will climb your fence with some help and is one of the early flowers that bring the garden to life and the agapanthus will come back better each year. You can't expect to know what every plant needs from you ,on the whole I would say you are doing well as a plant dad. You will have failures but you will also have many wins well done. Xxx

Omg I got that lulu guiness bag myself but got it from John Lewis who also has that offer on ive been using there tote bag for years thanks for another good vlog luke with all the updates on house and garden x

Luke your lupins will come back, put some of your pebbles in each of your pot plants, they will both look fab and match your garden plus keep the moisture in, tie a bit of string around your lupins, they will look a lot better and less likely to split if they blow down in the wind. You looked fab. I love your vlogs, my partner and I also love being in the garden. Xxx

You are doing fantastically well. Gardening is a learning curve so it's worth keeping a few notes about what works and what didn't do so well. Remember to have fun that is very important. Hard work is important but respite is equally good for you x

I loved the mix of items in your video, very interesting and enjoy the sunshine.

Nice vlog Luke! Love the ensemble on you. And Maggie is helping!

Oh how I love Sundays This vlog was a real treat as always Luke x

Maybe multch the flower beds to retain moisture. It won't harm the fushia to prune it. Just watch a quick video to learn where to prune. Rule of thumb don't prune into the hard wood. You will get a better shape and more branches and flowers.

Ag-a-pan-thus firework plant 💓 my faves.

Blimey! I wish that's all I had to do with my hair on a morning! Takes me ages, you're so lucky! I'm the same as you where the weather is concerned, I feel so much better when it's warm and the sun is shining, it makes all the difference to how you feel. Have just purchased one of those car diffusers from the White Company, didn't even know that they did them so thank you for sharing. Love these kind of vlogs, day in the life and love seeing London.

I use plant stands for lupins they will bounce back. I sometimes cut them when they break or get to big.

If a plant is dried out before you put it in garden or pot soak it in a bucket of water for a couple of hrs first.

Hi Luke, your "purple globes on a stem" plant is an Agapanthus, a "Lily of the Nile" and they are glorious!...good idea to water your plants (when dry) before transplanting as it's already stressful for them but I'm sure the Lupines will be very happy in that pot..Love Nick and Angela's podcast❣wish they would put the whole series on youtube‼...aabsolutely love your videos around your home, garden and shopping about ...:))))

Your hair looks lovely Luke. One of my sons goes to one of the barbers that burns the stray hairs In the ears and nose he was a bit scared the first time but now he looks forward to it happening. Xx

The rug is nice luke but i think it needs to be much larger.

Hi! The plant you couldn’t remember the name of is a Nemesia. Probably Wisley Vanilla. Nemesia come in lots of colours & flower for months. Also if you let some of flowers go to seed it will self seed & keep coming back. Can you tell they are one of my favourites 😜?. Maggie will probably like to like on the freshly turned over soil, so your plants may get a bit squished. Also think about getting some fertiliser for the plants - google is your friend in these cases. Just remember make sure everything-plants/fertiliser etc is Maggie friendly. Good luck!

We have bluebells in our front garden which my husband has been over it with the lawnmower so many times. But it comes back every year. Also have crocuses in the lawn. Xx
