@TheCornishCottageGarden-bs5lf Amazing stuff boss!

@tonycastro9997 thanks i will be sure to check that out. I have a few Salvia varieties which I am currently propagating :-)

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 haha bamboo will always find a way!

@@GrowTropicalMK you are so correct. I would have a whole bamboo forest with paths if I could.

Me too! Unfortunately, I think the better the looking ones run more !

@@GrowTropicalMK fully agree!

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 My idea is to create some smaller trees with bigger trunks. Then I can do some underplanting

@@GrowTropicalMK I think that is perfect

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 easy easy!

Thanks its a labour of love !Dhalia are hardy to a point, but -8c stopped all mine coming back. In the past, they have grown fine in the ground or in pots. This year the slugs have decimated them for me.

@S_M20000 Thanks ! The hotlips, blue marvel and carrodonna come back each year for me from the ground or pots left outside. Not sure about the amistad though

@@GrowTropicalMK - ok thanks for letting me know :) I like Amistad's colour. Its definitely going on my next year's wishlist :)

@@TheBlueMoonGarden thanks for your kind words!

@richardfrais_backyard_projects Thanks ! I will be putting the monkey puzzles up for sale soon :-) special discounts for tropical gardening enthusiasts lol I do want them to go to a good home.

@@GrowTropicalMK ooooh thats interesting 🤔😎 i may be in the market for one, lol its the eventual size and placement im trying to work out haha 😅

@richardfrais_backyard_projects Very big, haha! They are very spiky also, when you hit your head on it you sure do know about it!

Its absolutely stunning, but the lost gardens of Helligan in cornwall is my favourite. Unfortunately I only had rubbish footage, but I am sure there are some other youtube videos on it.

@@GrowTropicalMK Thank you. I will look

@Palmguy24 hiya and thanks. Although I am no expert i believe it is nothing special, just bog standard uk grass. Apart from in the shaded areas I have over seeded with shade grass seed. One thing I do know about grass is to never use speedy seed, yes it establishes fast, but you have to cut twice as often!

It makes sense as it is solid clay, I don't even think I would need a lining. Only in the heat of the summer would it completely dry up. Thanks for watching

I also dug deep under the raised bed and put plenty of gravel. I will keep monitoring the situation, but looks to be an improvement so far. Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing :) I'll do the same tomorrow if/when it stops raining 😅. Doesn't the stagnant water attract mosquitoes?

The water will clear from that gulley after a few days of non rain as it does gradually seep into the ground. I'm not sure if it would go stagnant in a pond, though. Thanks for the insight! I will be researching this before I embark on a pond project 😊

Haha my own little moat around my tropical island 😊

Crazy rooters ! Thanks for watching

It is painful to do, knowing that it is going to take 1-2 years to look great again. It did rain, but for only 5 minutes ! Hopefully, there will be a downpour tonight.

@TheCornishCottageGarden-bs5lf hell yeah. It was such a pity that all my helligan footage was bad. I definitely want to go there again.

@@GrowTropicalMK Caerhays Estate boss, thats where its at

@Palmguy24 A really awesome place. I ran out of battery before the end, unfortunately, but did get get nice bits together.

So nice of you! Thanks

Yes I need to make sure its going to have the least garden impact as possible, whilst being able to still hanging washing on it!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks

Thanks I love the arch! This isn't peaking until October I think.

Naturally boss!

Thanks for the insight. I am definitely going to try in a pot as I have no room in the ground for this, unfortunately 😞

I have only seen a few of them here in the UK and both were this sort of size. I suppose if it really likes the spot it will just go for it!

For sure !

Yeah there were more choices of climbers, but nothing is going produce a scent as nice imo. I might get a white star jasmine to crawl up the other side.

@thequarrygardener5578 Yes, I love it. It's looking pretty solid, too, although I suppose time will tell!

@@Palmguy24 thanks it really does or certainly will when it eventually rains!
