Robbie i got some seeds chitted ready for toilet roll January 2025 when can i plant outside into bed ?

Microwave 10 to 15 seconds? You sure that isn't minutes?

Well that was short and sweet! Thank you Robby. I wish everyone would do videos like this. Normally they start off telling you what they’re going to do for 5 minutes.

Oops I was NOT bored. Sorry for the typo

I want bored. Very interesting and informative. I have a couple pots of cyclamen that I lost the label so this will identify them. Thank you for posting

This awesome thanks for the info on the ferns and growing them.

Good to see you Rob and thank you for sharing. I experienced this constant for 2-3 years. It's the worst feeling and at times I did not want to exist. Somehow I mannaged to escaped it completely... 2 years now and I am always calm. For me it seemed to come from nowhere as I had never experienced it before. In the end I started the gym and spent more time with nature. I can't express how much the gym seemed to help. I started to go every morning at 6:30am. It made me feel strong and confident. Mentally, i felt i had my 1st achievement at the very beginning of my day!! That was a great psychological boost. The second advantage was it helped with my sleep at night. I always found that anxiety was much worse when lacking sleep.. but also, the anxiety caused a lack of sleep itself... Stuck in a very vicious circle. This is my experience, I know it won't help everybody but I hope that it helps somebody.

Missed you this past Monday, hoping all is well 💕

Thanks so much!

Great, now I'm forgetting about my cyclamen and looking for a door to hang

Trys some Seroquel mate. Ask your Dr about it 😊

I like this homework, stopping and being present in a moment and just being, It reminds me of a piece composted by John Cage 4'33". The performer sits and doesn't play at all during the piece. Every time you hear the piece , it is different. Thank you for continuing to share your journey, many blessings.

Loved the intro 😂 - 'You having trouble getting outside? Do you wanna grow something on your window sill'. And the blooper at the end. Seems like you've got a great friend in Shakey. Are we ever going to get to see his face or will he forever be this disembodied voice? 😅

So pleased to see you back Robbie! I was only thinking about you the other day as I walked past the conker tree. A couple of years ago (I think) you posted some photos of one on your FB.

I love the test tube idea. It's brilliant! I now need some test tubes 😊

Love the out takes, keep them coming! I adore alliums, I always plant more every year so now I have over 50 in my garden. I didn't know that garlic chives were a perennial too! I just received my first order of garlic bulbs to plant this fall and saffron crocus too, looks like I'll need to order garlic chives for the garden next. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, your joy of gardening is a great gift to see and inspires us. Looking forward to seeing how your garden is growing. I saved this as my last video of the day as a treat for myself. Thanks again

Hi Robbie great video excellent out take at the end very funny

I am a new subscriber and am looking forward to future video's More silly moments please, makes the video far more interesting!!

Hi robbie, would they also manage on a north window?

There is no quick fix to these problems, only taking one day at a time to do maybe something about your eating. I found just grazing all day and not having a meal put in front of me really did help, even if I only took a few bites of anything that took my fancy. Slowly and very very slow did my eating improve. The stress of being depressed also adds to the problem. I like you, try and get out as much as possible, exercise really does help. I wish you well and just keep doing what is best FOR YOU!

Bless you! Energy and healing vibes coming your way for a continued and sustained recovery. THANK YOU for continuing to share your knowledge about plant propagation. You inspired me to try to grow cyclamen from seed. I’ll let you know how it goes. Love your tutorials!

Thanks Robbie. I love coriander but find that it can be a bit fussy and often goes to seed before producing much leaf so I buy 500g bags of the seed from an Indian grocery store and just broadcast it all over the garden for it to choose it's own spot. Several years ago, I got such a huge crop that I ended up using a lot of it as mulch! I've never had the same success since but I still love tossing all sorts of seeds everywhere just to see what happens and to keep the garden busy🌱🌱🌱🐝🐝🐝

I'm going to check my herb cabinet and try growing from there! I had good luck growing in the garden this spring and now that it's cooling off, I will try again for some fall/winter herbs. Lovely video, thank you Robbie and great camera action, Shaky. 😃

Brillant vid buddy

I grew some last season to enrich my pet rabbits diet only to find the homegrown herb to be far more palatable than what had assaulted me at eateries before. It failed to get going during 30+ °C weather - no issues once the temps dropped back down though. I'll happily throw some in now whenever I'm using hot chillies, zeal of the converted I guess!

Such a good sense of humour

Love the end bit. Jumped out my chair 😂😅

Ive been doing this for years on many plants! So easy

I think I subscribed to your channel many years ago when I was looking for information about cyclamen. This video has popped up and I can see you have uploaded others about depression and agoraphobia. I’m saddened to hear someone as charming and astute as yourself suffers from these conditions but I also thank you for taking the time to speak openly and for the effort you’ve made to help and inform others. I’m from a different part of the world and at a different life stage to you but I have also had anxiety for a long time. It’s grown into something that’s greatly affected my life trajectory and I now also suffer from a lot of the symptoms of depression and agoraphobia. I’m still trying to better understand my condition and consequent behaviours to look out for. I was wondering how you came to better understand your condition? And what you are continuing to learn about yourself? Wishing you well and I look forward to other parts

what a pukka idea using test tube set. Well done mate, very informative video

P.S. I also love to watch you plant stuff , i planted some lily seeds last time, which are coming up .

Unless you have suffered with this , no one can understand what it's like, i shake when stressed by strangers . I used to be so strong and resilient, capable, with a great sense of humour , but that seems to have faded too . I try to get in the garden most days, get some fresh air , plant things, veg , and i'm always trying to grow seeds, i've managed to get lemon and orange pips to grow, , which i am really proud of . One of my lemon trees is now 5 foot tall ! I also like to do a bit of diy , and built a hedgehog house this year , made shelving and built a large tall planter for my veg so i don't have to bend down too far , i'm 71 now , so getting up and down is getting harder and i'm preparing for things to get worse, lol . I'm looking forward to part two , it's interesting how others deal with anxiety .

Thank you for this. I don’t have anxiety, but you are helping me to understand what my husband goes through, he can’t always explain it to me.

Hello Robbie, been a while since I was at the nursery to have a chat (this is Paul btw from Worle), you describe anxiety perfectly well & it sucks to suffer with.

I really like your analogy of how anxieties affect people, sometimes it is very difficult for a person who doesn’t have crippling anxiety to understand just how much anxiety can affect a person. Thank you for sharing your mental health journey, your story gives me hope. Bless you ❤

I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Dsorder about 15 yrs after my bipolar diagnosis. 35 years of my life was impacted through these disorders... I would have to take time off work several times a year and would cry non stop for no reason.... I'm not telling anyone what to do to cure their illness but sharing my experience in the hope of helping others that may be looking for another method to try.. I went onto the carnivore diet to heal nerve damage from chemo and lose the steroid weight which would not budge... not to fix mental health but miraculously it did. Within 5 days my back pain went and within 1 month I was down 5kg and 3 months on my brain felt the best it has ever felt. Now I have no anxiety or bipolar. If I eat any carbs at all I feel the crazy gate open up.... Just sharing incase inflammation caused by food is the cause of someone else's illness. Mine was gut to brain related and it runs in my family. Now I'm medication free... God bless everyone and I pray that if you have these mental health problems you find your cure and get some peace.

home is my gate until the door bell rings or the post comes

Thank you for sharing this. I have a friend who has suffered with this for years. I'm looking forward to part 2.

I thought that you made a very cogent presentation regarding anxiety. If only understand it would help aleviate or control it.

Thank you for sharing. So much resonated with me and my experiences.

great video yes give up the smoking !!!!!!!

Brilliant. Thank you.

Great to hear you again, Robbie, we’re so lucky to have your archive of brilliant videos to refer back to and it’ll be interesting to follow your new ideas and thoughts generally. Found a pot in the garden this afternoon with four beautiful white cyclamen hederifolium flowers shining brightly, what a joy, thank you, one of your specials!

Apparently it's often called a "money plant" or "money tree" due to its association with good fortune, prosperity, and financial success in various cultures, particularly in feng shui practices. Its coin-shaped leaves are believed to symbolize wealth and prosperity, making it a popular gift and decorative plant in homes and businesses to attract financial luck. Probably explains seeing them in Chinese takeaways?

Chinese people are very superstitious and call these plants lucky plants ,this is why they have these plants,for luck

In American we do call it a jade plant, at least it looks like what I call a jade plant. My younger sister has a jade plant that had belonged to my Opa. It's still growing.

Hope you and your ferns doing well. Can't wait for part three

Can I put a small layer of pebbles on the top?

3 cheers for mucky hands…hip hip hooray , hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray 🥳 🙌🏻

So glad you’re back, and looking and sounding like your old self. Just to mention that my cyclamen have missed you too!
