Hi , whilst watching the video & you mentioned about a budlea being invasive and concerned about ruining the view. Just a thought but you can shape it & what about raising the canopy This would expose the trunk & you could underplant it. It would take a little while to get established but I’m sure would look nice . I just thought no harm in trying 😊anything to suit your own garden . See what you think - Also I enjoy your channel 👩‍🌾💐

I think I'd maybe prefer to move it to a different location so that it means that the sun we get on the patio in the afternoons and evenings wouldn't be affected. I'm going to see what it looks like after the construction is done and go from there! But thank you for the suggestion, it's definitely something worth thinking about!

I had operation with toric EDOF lens 6 days ago and I cannot see letters, I cannot read at any distance. There is occasional fog coming from drops but it’s all clear I just see distorted letters but see some items at the distance and for some reason when I come outside some different air comes and I can read the number plates of cars on the other side of road but when I go inside I cannot see any letter and cannot read far and intermediate. I’m seeing doc tomorrow. Really frustrating.

There's always someone with a generator going, or a drill or a hammer and it can go on for hours! Love all the plants you got and lovely that you managed to get so much planted, and that garden centre is lovely, i'd go in and never come back out! Thank you for this weeks vlog, I needed cheering up and to calm down and I feel quite chilled now! Have a good week x

I tried garlic spray this year for slugs and it really has put them off. You blitz five cloves in a blender and mix with water. Strain it into a spray bottle. It doesn't leave a smell or taste once dried.

Your verbena is glorious. Good to see the plants in the greenhouse getting in the dirt! butterfly bush in a pot?🦋 Pots set on dirt will start rooting into the dirt below and have a better chance of surviving with an extended root system. I’d consider digging and potting the plants where construction is going to go on. They will have a chance to settle in before the winter. So many pretty things growing.

I've looked into that, but I really love the idea of a separate building that's not attached. We've found over the last few years that the ground has settled and our patio has become uneven and I'd hate for the greenhouse to come away from the wall. Happy greenhouse shopping too!

As I have learned…if they go away it is an opportunity to plant something else….I am 71 and have had flower garden mysteries (hate to call them mistakes) since I started. My first garden was tulips looking (sadly) like little red soldiers in uniform rows…Since then I have learned and have loved the experience. Good for happiness, soul and heart…make a “mistake” oh well another opportunity !
