You have no idea how grateful I am for you and the knowledge you share. Each video is a mini horticultural class--once again I learned so much. Thank you kindly from a Belgian in Chicago.
-
Oohhh I could never pull an allium out without replanting them somewhere. 🤣 I just adore them.
-
I found the identification and information about self-seeders especially interesting.
-
Lovely tour!!!! I love just touring your garden throughout the year to appreciate the seasonality. I really liked that you included pictures of the same space in other seasons
-
You've become my favourite gardening channel on Youtube, Alexandra. You provide both inspiration and information!! I watch and re-watch your videos to savour every episode. Thanks for sharing your spring garden - it's absolutely plumpcious 😉
-
I love your lesson about “firework plants” in every border for every season! 💥
-
“Plumpcious” - I will definitely remember that word. Your garden is just so beautiful. I so envy you that enclosed space. I garden in zone 6 and border woods. Everything is just devoured by the deer.
-
Those wild glodioli are absolutely stunning 🌸👩🏻🎨
-
"Self seeding something or other" is my specialty!
-
Your garden is FULL of such a WIDE range of plants. GORGEOUS!
-
Every time I watch your videos, I get inspired. They are always full of helpful tips and ideas. Love walking through your beautiful garden with you. What a wonderful story about the wild gladioli. That's a true treasure to inherit.
-
That Kiwi climber is brilliant😍and also the Aliums👍🏻
-
Plumptious! Nice word
-
I agree with the last comment, your videos are great; so practical and full of great tips and inspiration. Easily my favourite you-tube gardener. Thanks from a grateful gardener close to RHS Wisley, :)
-
Another wonderful video, Alexandra. Thank you for explaining the ins and outs.
-
Great video! I like these longer ones. I enjoyed how you went into your garden and explained some of your thought process about your plans.
-
Very pretty border. I use the very lightweight hoses expanding cloth hoses that shrink to nothing when drained. I’m on my fourth year with some of them and no holes. I thought they might be too flimsy before I tried them,but I just love them so much. No kinking or rolling them up.
-
Thank you for this. I love the idea of having a firework plant for every season. Would be super to have some autumn and winter "fireworks" too. Great video as always.
-
Dare I point out the obvious answer about the water problem 🤔 ? Get another hose. Those new metal ones are light & tough. Hide it near the problem boarder in a beautiful pot then attach it to your normal when needed. I've a long lot with 2 hose bibs in the middle of the lot, unfortunately longer hoses that reach the ends are a pain to drag around when not needed so my solution is quick connections and leaving small hoses at the ends for easy watering access. Great video, I love seeing how you're space changes over time. 😍

The Pass The Wine iris is beautiful! As is the kiwi vine!
