I am retired now with 4 grown children and wife. I completed a horticultural trade in the early eighties. I now spend a lot of time in my garden and looking at others on my breaks. The reason for the preamble is not one in my family is interested in gardening. You two are lucky you share your love of gardening and can converse about it. I have subscribed because I appreciated your love of gardening and you both make me feel happiness in your joy of gardening

Thanks for taking the time to list the taxonomic names for the plants too. It is so helpful. You could have a separate channel where you document the propagation of some of the plants in your garden. I think that is its own art/science. It would be nice to have some start to finish guidance during the winter or early spring months when you are off duty from the outdoor garden.

I can't wait to follow your garden this year. I'm going back to watch your videos I missed since I just recently discovered your channel. I'm so confused about which seeds come true from the mother plant. Do you think about that or just take what you get when they bloom? I saved some this year and I wonder what they'll look like.

So glad you're still watching with us! And yes... we do think about which seeds come true from the mother plant... altho, we often don't really care. Like with our dahlias, we collect seeds (Bishop's Children) especially because they will be different. If we want a true copy, we always take a cutting (when we can) -- that way we can be sure of the color, etc.

Your garden looks great in October! I have lots of dahlias in my garden and just worried about the cold weather forecast which is starting in few days. The blue flower is so gorgeous, never seen it here in UK. Thanks for sharing and happy growing 😊

I also have eringium which flowers just about all year in the south of England, and anemone. My pelargoniums are also still doing well and again, often flower all year, I need to get a lot more colour for next year. Your videos are just getting better and better, you are both so warm.

Guys, I love watching your videos! There are lot of videos online but you, Garden Answer and Linda Vater send so much positive energy. I am curious how the garden will look in the winder as most (all I think) of the plants are not winter green.

We've been looking at old pictures from the winter and WOW... it's crazy to imagine all of this green vanishing every year... but that's life :) The seed starting is a big part of our process... we do sell a lot, and we give a lot away to kindergartens (only the child-safe plants), neighbors, etc... whoever needs some extra color in the spring/summer.

I used to have to stake them for years in a garden where they were mostly in shade. This year we bought a vacation house and they get more sun like your garden. The garden is new. So, all which were planted didn't bloom this season. However, it looked as if yours weren't staked and I was surprised at how sturdy they looked. So, I just wanted to make sure that I was not being falsely optimistic about the fate of mine. So, I guess they are more stable with a little sum. Thx
