[@catherinematthews8573]

Thanks so much. Your garden is beautiful and Lars has such a love of his plants its really such a delight to see.

[@perennial-garden]

I totally agree! It's a genuine appreciation and passion for growing.

[@Tuckerz5d]

Congratulations on your open day! Nice weather and a great crowd. I love visiting gardens. If I weren’t 4,000 miles away, I’d have been there!

[@perennial-garden]

We were very blessed to have so many people come -- really flattered actually.

[@bonniemccormack1361]

Me too 😊

[@bjbrown6488]

The gardens are so beautiful, thank you for sharing. I am with Lars, collecting and sowing seeds is the greatest😊

[@perennial-garden]

You're so right! And it saves so much money :)

[@77sun222]

So much beauty in your garden. The dahlias in a group are remarkable💫🌟💯💞

[@perennial-garden]

Super nice! They're all from our friends at blomsterverden.dk/ :)

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

I wish I live close to you! I love seeing other gardeners garden. Your garden look stunning.

[@perennial-garden]

We'd have the best time living next to you, too! Coffee meet-ups in your garden too :)

[@donnaterrell938]

As I've said before, Love your Lupines and your wonderful garden! So special!

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much!

[@VickiesGardenEvolution]

You offered a lot of really valuable information in this one! I always love your videos, but especially when they help me to become a better gardener. I'm sad that it's already starting to feel like fall, my season was cut short. Anyway, thanks for sharing your garden, your knowledge, and your time, with us.

[@perennial-garden]

It's starting to feel like fall here, too. sigh. We had a pretty wet summer... hopefully that means our winter won't be as terrible ;) But... it's Denmark... so rain is the norm for us. Hope you have a great gardening week this week!

[@annskelly3349]

I’m already sad that it’s nearly Autumn and we will see less of this amazing colour! Also I actually believe that Lars really could grow a koala! 😂❤️🌸

[@perennial-garden]

HAHA... he would love to try to grow one for sure! haha

[@BotanicAlley]

Such an inspiring garden. The love you give it really shows through the health and beauty of all your plants. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@perennial-garden]

That is very kind of you to say! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment :)

[@marciawright2600]

Funny, I was drinking coffee and eating cookies while watching this!! I just love your gardens!!

[@perennial-garden]

ha! Then the tour you had was exactly like the one in real life :) Hope your coffee was delicious -- i made a great pot (12 pots in all! haha)

[@hoahappyhome]

Congratulations on your open house. A beautiful and rich garden, well worth a visit. I look forward to seeing the thriving seedlings.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much! We'll be sure to keep you updated as our seedlings grow :)

[@hoahappyhome]

@@perennial-garden I look forward to this

[@schoolbeginsaftercoffee4759]

Just want to say, as a brand new gardener, all tips are so helpful. Even what seems like common sense is super helpful to me at this stage. You fellas have a lovely garden.Thanks for the tour.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much for the encouragement! And how exciting that you're a new gardener... you have an exciting journey ahead (and we're all always learning more!) HAVE FUN :)

[@bonniemccormack1361]

[@perennial-garden]

We actually had a couple visit us yesterday from Australia... and they talked a lot about our tree :) Reminded them of home they said. It was really sweet :)

[@nickiramsay2421]

Wonderful tour as usual. My sister went on holiday to Denmark recently, she is also an avid gardener, what a shame she came back the week before your open garden but hopefully she will start watching your channel as I’ve told her about your lovely garden. We have a similar scheme in the UK, I much prefer looking around people’s gardens rather than the big public gardens as they are more relatable to your own garden. Thank you both 🌻🌷🌸🌼

[@perennial-garden]

I hope your sister enjoyed Denmark! If ever she travels back over, we'll be sure to open the garden for her :) And we agree... visiting real people's gardens is much more interesting than the beautiful botanical gardens, etc. ALTHO those are also very very incredible and inspirational... but seeing what a neighbor does gives us a lot more hope :)

@@LisetteMargaret Thanks for letting us know! Maybe next year then :) Hope you have a great weekend.

[@77sun222]

Hi You collect thousands of seeds from your plants,and I would say that you are over generous in your sowing. Your method has worked. Chopping and changing systems is no bad thing also. It's not about being right or wrong. It's the taking part in life. I love your interactions. A slip up ( if you can call it that) is very humerous sometimes. I won't judge either of you💯💞💯💞

[@perennial-garden]

We are super generous in our sowing for sure. We also sow a lot in order to sell at planting markets all spring -- just a fun hobby. But we'll scale back this year as it keeps us out of our garden too much. We'll grow just enough to attend a few markets in our area ...and just for fun ;)

[@theblueberrybarn]

I see something different every time you show your garden. Absolutely beautiful 😍 thanks for sharing this beautiful garden with so many people. Wish I could have been there.

[@perennial-garden]

We wish you could have been here, too! You would have loved getting to talk to all the people :) And maybe even sold some Blueberry stuff! haha

[@Melanie-s9d]

Yet again, thank you for your video. I savour your garden tours and your enthusiasm and joy for your garden is infectious. In Southern England we to have also had a lot more rain than usual this year and not so much sunshine. However my plants have still tried hard to perform. I love the lovely mixture of plants you have. I have a similar planting. I also very much like Lar's interest in collecting and growing seeds - I find it miraculous when they germinate and it's a good reminder that we can enjoy gardening throughout the year and not just in the summer time. Thank you again. :)

[@perennial-garden]

You are 100% right! That's why he started with seed sowing -- to enjoy gardening all year long. (and to save money ;) ) It's great to watch something so small become so beautiful -- and really, without too much effort. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment :)

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much, Roger!

[@CherylBelczak]

Your gardens are so gorgeous and inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing your time, skills and knowledge with us. Also wanted to offer a plant suggestion. Consider growing Persicaria orientalis. It is an annual that can easily grow to 2.5 meters tall (or more). It is a later season bloomer and stays upright in the wind without staking. Lots of seeds for Lars to collect, too. 😍 Mine have been reliably (but not obnoxiously) self sowing for a couple of years. I read it can be invasive in some areas so check first, but I think its tall, whimsical form would make a fun addition to your incredible gardens. 🌱

[@perennial-garden]

We looked it up right away when we saw your comment! Now it's on our wish list :) It looks really pretty... and it's in the same family as our other Persicaria -- so interesting! Thank you for sharing :)

[@CherylBelczak]

@@perennial-garden Wonderful! I have your persicaria on my list, too! I found it very curious how they look so similar with very different growing heights. That is probably what made me think to suggest it! The flowers look very similar too, only the ones on the tall variety "weep" or drape downward. The common name is "Kiss-me-over-the-garden-gate." I hope you can find seeds!

[@perennial-garden]

@@CherylBelczak What a wonderful name! And so appropriate :)

Thank you in advance 💐 🙏🏼

[@perennial-garden]

@@emit8242 Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the garden tour. Regarding your Sedum, black spots can be a sign of a few different issues. It could be due to overwatering, poor drainage, or a fungal disease. Sedums prefer well-drained soil and can be sensitive to too much moisture. You might want to check your watering routine and ensure the soil isn't staying too wet. Also, make sure they're planted in a spot with good air circulation. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

[@sydneygardener540]

Dear me, I am a bit annoyed at you two!! Looks to lovely to share. Instead of filming, you both should be sitting down in the garden with a glass of wine and enjoying the evening and the products of your labour. 😊😊 It’s so lovely! Best wishes, Matt

I mentioned in a previous video that my Geum just did not bloom and was doing poorly, and you talked about moving it... Well, I did, and it has gone bananas!! The foliage is beautiful and healthy, and I am sure I will get happy blooms next year ❤ Crane has Feverfew which looks similar but I've never seen him speak of Anaphalis...I don't think I have ever seen that here in our part of the world.

I was wondering about the greenhouse roof 😊. Thanks for the info. Something else I’ve been wondering about is how you water your garden. It seems like a sprinkler would weigh the plants down….

[@perennial-garden]

We're blessed to not have much to water here in Denmark -- it rains all the time. We do collect rain water and use for our pots when it happens to be dry. Otherwise, we will use a garden hose if we have a long period of dry.

Hi Lars and Allan, Hello from Australia, There are many, many eucalyptus varieties, In every state in Australia there are different eucalyptus, and Koalas only eat from a specific type, and no other... You have inspired me so very much, Aren't any roses in Denmark? How did you get the Astrantias to grow from seeds, they are so hard to grow from seed. busily We have removed all our lawn to plant plants that flower so l can cut fro arrangements. Thanks so much, l have learned so much from you guys, l have found so many different plants that you grow, l have been busy shopping around to get the plants that you grow in your beautiful garden...Keep up the good work, Cheers, Mario

[@perennial-garden]

We'd love to see all those different varities! Lars has traveled to Australia when he was younger... but me and our son haven't (yet!). As for the Astrantia... they need cold stratification to sprout. We winter sow to help with that --- you can also place seeds in a damp paper towel, then seal them in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 6-8 weeks. We've tried that, too --- but winter sowing in our unheated glasshouse is just way easier :) Hope you're looking forward to a great spring, Mario! All the best from Denmark to down under :)

[@donnaterrell938]

Thanks!

[@perennial-garden]

So kind of you! What a lovely surprise for us to wake up to. Thank you :)

[@traceygill3145]

New to your channel, fabulous! I think the eucalyptus is called seeded eucalyptus, are you florists? Love your garden, thanks for sharing!

[@deepost2604]

I do not have a green house. This week I learned about using a clear plastic container to hold my seedling pots over winter. The lid gets put on and taken off depending on the temp. My container is 49x39x29..cm. Tall enough to hold some plants that have a bit of growth on them.

[@perennial-garden]

Super great! That sounds like a perfect solution :) Let us know how it goes!

[@margeryholmes7505]

Your garden is so beautiful, you've done so well to create a beautiful space. I love making new plants from cuttings and collecting seeds too. I bought Maj Tai seeds from the internet but they didn't produce Maj Tai plants instead I think they produced their parent plants, because I believe Maj Tai is a cross. I got very pretty pale yellow flowers on one plant and peachy flowers with dark stems on others. Both are pretty but not Maj Tai. Perhaps you can divide your plant. Thanks for the tour of your garden.

[@perennial-garden]

That is probably what happened with your Mai Tai. Hopefully you can find some of it tho -- altho the ones you have sounds beautiful :)

[@lajuanabassett1298]

I’m a florist by trade and we call that eucalyptus, “weeping/ seedy eucalyptus “ it will last a long time in your cut floral arrangements.

[@perennial-garden]

That's great to know! Now we'll have to cut some to bring indoors :)

[@Earthlygardenchannel]

Love you 🎉

[@perennial-garden]

THANK YOU! Big hello from Denmark :)

[@bewoodford2807]

youn Eucalyptus looks like Eucalyptus Gunnii. It is fairly hardy in the Uk. I grew one from a small plant. It survived in my garden for 10 years until we had a very cold winter a few years ago,, which killed it. This tree gros very tall. but if you cut it down you can still gro it as a shrub. Don't cut t down to the ground, Say about 4ft from the ground, if it gets too big and outgrows your space. Happy gardening 🙂

[@perennial-garden]

That's super super helpful! Our very cold winter (the coldest in 20 years the news said) this year didn't hurt it at all -- it did lose a few leaves afterward... but otherwise fine. It's one tough tree for sure.

[@traceygill3145]

New to your channel, fabulous! I think the eucalyptus is called seeded eucalyptus, are you florists? Love your garden, thanks for sharing! I also follow Crane

[@perennial-garden]

[@kasperbirk2303]

Hi Lars, thank you so much that we could visit your garden yesterday, a huge inspiration. In the video, just before you go into your greenhouse, you have a Elephant grass with red akses outside, could you tell us the name for this? Best regards Kasper

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you for visiting! That grass is: ELEFANTGRÆS (MISCANTHUS SINENSIS 'MALEPARTUS')

[@letishegallion3875]

What do you feed your flowers and how often?

[@perennial-garden]

We fertilize only once a year with organic chicken manure. Otherwise, we spread a bit of compost here at the end of summer and again at the start of spring ((compost from our little bin)).

[@catherinehenderson627]

your garden is looking fantastic. I have most of the same plants as you but due to the terrible summer we have had in scotland the garden does not look as nice as yours. The gallardia you have can be split quite easily. I have it and just dig up a piece and move it to another place. it does need watering every day for a few weeks but it does get it roots down and the following year grows well in its new spot. i now have it in numerous places

[@perennial-garden]

Sorry to hear that summer hasn't been kind to your garden. We had so much rain at the start... but now, we've had a really nice period of dry weather. We can't complain for sure. And that's great with the Gallardia. We've never had much success with splitting them... but we'll certainly try again. I am a huge fan of their bright color this time of year... so we'll either save it or start again for sure.

[@VivSimmons]

Our eucalyptus which is same as yours, is now 50ft high. We need tree surgeons every few years to keep it under control. Next time they can chop it right down.

[@perennial-garden]

Oh goodness! We'll certainly keep an eye on ours and how tall it gets. Thanks for the heads up.

[@DouglasDrake-o8e]

Just amazing variety of color. At 9:50, behind the sedum, Is that a coreopsis with fern like foliage? I have been trying to find out if that should be cut back this fall or when it quits blossoming, Haven't been able to find info on one with the fern like foliage Love this tour and will watch it several times.

[@perennial-garden]

It's a gorgeous one! That coreopsis. We cut it back in the spring... we don't do too much cutting back in the autumn as we want things to self-seed + we like the look of a little structure during the winter. We have tried cutting everything back in the autumn... but it just made our little space too empty for us :)

[@DouglasDrake-o8e]

Thank you!

[@ClassicLitLove-kx9tt]

Do you both ever get discouraged?? I feel defeated this last week, I have worked SO hard in expanding my gardens and every time I turn around I see black spot and gangly looking stems on my DAustin roses and my gardens just don't look lush and full. Could you talk about what you do to your soil and the types of feed you use? Do you have problems with pests ( I STILL have Japanese beetles, which should have been done weeks ago) ❤ thank you both for all you do, I have learned so much and hope to one day see my gardens as full as yours.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank YOU for the encouragement. As for fertilizing... we use organic chicken manure over the whole garden once a year (early spring). We make our own compost, so when the bin gets full, we sprinkle that around here and there, too. Otherwise, we don't do anything else to our soil. Our hydrangeas don't get anything special... nor the rhododendron. We know they need different soil... but eh... they grow and they're happy... so we make it easy for ourselves :) As for pests.. this year has been terrible for slugs! My goodness. It's a constant battle... but now that everything is bigger, the battle doesn't seem as important as it did in early spring. We hunt for slugs every evening and most mornings. We've not had aphids or other pests this year... it's been so wet and that helps keep them out of our garden. Last year, we lost every single lupine to aphids. Sad. For discouraged... we have a rule... if it dies, it dies. We grow perennials mostly, so we know they'll come back. Or, like the lupines, they were totally destroyed so we had to start over this year. It's not easy... but we want the garden to be fun. So (it's harder for Lars :) ) we really try our best to treat it as something fun and not worry too much if something breaks in the wind (a real problem this summer!) or dries up when we go on holiday, etc. I wish I could say that we've figured it all out ;) But.. it's a work in progress. We have parts of the garden that we LOVE! and other parts that are quite bare right now and not fun to look at --- but, we know we can tackle those in the fall by moving things around and hope for a fresh start next spring. I'm not sure my ramblings help ;)... but I hope so! The fact that you love your garden enough to care about it.... that's what is most important :)

[@ClassicLitLove-kx9tt]

@perennial-garden Thank you SO much for your response it really does help. Saying that "if it dies, it dies," and you move on was a light bulb moment. Something so simple and true and one I think we gardeners really forget about. I adore you both. You and Crane have made my journey into my garden so much more fun, more interesting, and more knowledgeable. Sending you both so many blessings....oh, the Eucalyptus tree is amazing!! Bravo! Momma Nature is helping you both out for sure...and I would have been on the ground, flat if I lost all my Lupins. 🤭

[@perennial-garden]

So glad I made sense! haha. But it's true... we can plant everything again. (even lupines! bless it) Sounds like you have some motivation back! LOOK OUT flowers :) Hope you have an incredible gardening week ahead :) BIG HELLO from us in Denmark :)

I love Japanese anemones. Some people say they're invasive ... no invasion in my garden yet. I have a heavy clay soil so maybe that's why👏👏💯

[@perennial-garden]

They do spread... but they're so easy to dig up that it's really not a problem. And a big clump of them is so pretty I think.

[@helengannon8855]

Great garden guys, can i ask if it is netting or some sort of metal holding up your dahlias. Well done🎉

[@perennial-garden]

You can always ask us anything :) Here you can see the wire frame a little better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWWafHmJiLKHY9Usi=ZvnqwcejVTh_7iDI&t=273 We put it on at the beginning of June... so the Dahlias can grow up and through as they get taller.

Thank you so much! Hello from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@Hlegzudas]

I would have like to see more garden than single plants….

[@perennial-garden]

Ok.

[@barbarasutherland3278]

What type of soil mix do you use? Thx.

[@perennial-garden]

We amend our soil with compost (that we make ourselves) and fertilize with organic chicken manure once a year. Otherwise, the soil is just normal soil that is already in the garden.

[@KerrySwain-o1w]

I love your garden, iam from Australia be careful of your tree they grow huge here

[@perennial-garden]

Big hello from Denmark to you! And we will keep our eyes on it... for now, it's a great size... but we'll see how it grows :)

[@uyoorsolyaejiofoh6263]

Do your rudbekcias cone back every year or do you grow from seed annually?

[@perennial-garden]

Most of ours are perennial... altho the hirta can be tricky if our winters are super cold. So far, so good tho :)

[@juanramos.jr.7948]

It looks like the same eucalyptus that grows in texas and arizona. Eucalyptus pauciflora, ghost gum.

[@perennial-garden]

I've added that name to the list, too! Going to have to do some research now. We have 3 possibilities so far :) THANK YOU :)

[@VivSimmons]

But thank you for the youtube visits.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank YOU for visiting :)

[@bonniemccormack1361]

I googled eucalyptus tree in garden and got mix results. What did you end up doing about it?

[@perennial-garden]

We got a lot of great suggestions - still not 100% sure what type it is. But we like it nonetheless ☺️

[@bonniemccormack1361]

@@perennial-garden I like the look of it too. I planted under my gigantic oak tree. While it looks nice, the tree definitely rules the yard and I have to move the plants. The tree is well over 100 years old and still magnificent

[@perennial-garden]

@@bonniemccormack1361 wow! Hope ours lasts that long :) So far, it's happy here.

[@onechristianwallace]

Beautiful naturalistic garden. That Eucalyptus will soon do a number on you. They are thugs.

[@perennial-garden]

That's what we've heard! So we'll be sure to keep our eyes on it. Thanks for the warning :)

[@Tracymw99]

10:10 what is the name of the yellow flower?

[@perennial-garden]

That's Gaillardia x grandiflora 'Mesa Peach' (Blanket Flower). We just grew it from seed this summer :)

[@SusanWalsh-or4ut]

Is that a Gillardia or a Gazania?

[@perennial-garden]

We only have Gaillardia (Blanket Flowers) here... a few of the traditional looking ones. And then one in peach and one in red :)

[@lindahipwell7059]

Just beautiful from Australia ❤. ❤

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you! 😊

[@VivSimmons]

Nooo, I live in uk, so cannot see your lovely garden.

[@perennial-garden]

Thankfully we have KZbin :)
