Changes are happening!

[@kimfox5186]

It's so refreshing to hear that you intend to take your time, propergate, sow from seed, etc. Instead of getting rid and replacing. For me, this is what gardening is all about. It's nice to be reminded from time to time, especially from gardeners who have a lot of influence 😊

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you Kim for the positive feedback, I was worried it would be a let down that things weren’t happening quickly and there wouldn’t be a dramatic change instantly but it seems the opposite is true! I’m so grateful to all my audience for great advice and support, it’s really not about the end game but the enjoyment of the process. 👩‍🌾

I enjoy your garden channel so much! It has become one of my favorites. Taking your time is a good thing. Good gardening is like a marathon not a sprint. And, there is no finish line!

[@MurphysGarden]

You are so right!

[@risalangdon9883]

So agree with the other comments. Many people lose sight of the actual fun and enjoyment of gardening. The fun of starting larger quantities from seed or propagation, and utilizing them in your space should be showcased more. A garden is never going to be "finished" lol, so gardeners should slow down and enjoy the process.

[@MurphysGarden]

Absolutely, it’s good to be reminded of that!

[@michelleyanche1706]

I so look forward to watching all of the projects unfold this season! So glad to hear how you will be tackling the borders one step at a time.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you so much

Crikey what a gardening season ahead for you guys all the work done so far has really paid off and I can see you’ll have plenty to show us as the year goes on, really like the idea of growing your own stock for the borders and it might be worth offering some of the Camassia to local gardenin clubs etc who may in return offer you some plants you may well need?

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you, we certainly have lots planned, let’s hope we can get to it all! The kids have been a great help this week, every time they come home they get put to work, they may not come back 🤣 but I think they enjoy it too! I know a lady who would like all my camassia bulbs, she has an orchard and can put them in amongst the long grass which will be the perfect location for them, I hate wasting anything. Thank you for watching and for your kind comments

[@ThreeRunHomer]

I like that you’re not throwing money at a complete overhaul of the boarders. A gradual transformation will be more interesting.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you for your feedback

[@patriciahogg5763]

Great to have a like-minded partner!! 🥰

[@lindat5321]

Totally agree about stopping & stepping back. Sometimes that is exactly what we need to do before jumping in & ripping out.

[@MurphysGarden]

Yes, we often change our minds from our initial ideas and therefore it’s a good ideas to think about things for a while before acting hastily

[@BenjesBride]

I love your videos! The name for the tree area that came to mind is "The Grove".

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you so much, that sounds better than the ‘tree area’ which I have taken to call it!

I was waiting for this new ideas vlog. Rosy had some great ideas. Good idea, to wait to see where the plants you want to keep are, and set them aside. Bark along the hedge will make gardening so much easier. Digging up the boxwood. And divide the large grasses. Weeding when you can. Those could be your main aims this summer. It's really hard to make a list and see how much you want to do, but it all takes time and a lot of effort. Lucky AL is around with his magic handy work. You have a huge range of annuals from seed, which will be exciting.😊Jo❤ The tree garden could be called the "zen garden" or the "hidden retreat", as it's nicely balanced and simplistic, to relax in the evening after a hard day's work.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you Jo, sounds like a good plan and not too daunting!

Love to hear the thought process on going forward in the garden.

[@MurphysGarden]

My ramblings are quite therapeutic for me too and helps me clarify what we are doing!

[@catherinekeogh1871]

totally agree with kims comment, you will feel much more proud of your borders too i think 🙂

[@MurphysGarden]

Yes, I think you are right

I built a 5acres gardens over 12 years cost in end twice what i estimated around 45k . No good racing into plans .Think it out over a year and stick to plan . It may be saving all the time but in end in time weeds and moles you get to the end eventually . Im a pensioner now and still at it as i keep building gardens rooms .I am on my own as wife died long ago . I grew nearly all plants and bought in shrubs and trees .

[@MurphysGarden]

Hi Kevin, lovely to hear your experiences in creating your garden. I dread to think what we have spent on our garden, unlike you we haven’t kept a record but it gives us so much pleasure more than holidays or expensive cars! My mission at the beginning was to get it the way I wanted it and ‘finish’ it but I now realised that the fun is the journey not the destination! Like you, I have learnt so much along the way and hope to keep doing so Thanks for watching Jenny

[@lindahopps739]

For what it’s worth, I agree with you on your plan for the rill borders. Take your time and plant just what you love. I think you had too many varieties, and it becomes overwhelming to the eye. Your gardens are just beautiful and all your family’s hard work is paying off splendidly. Enjoy your videos so much🇨🇦

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you for you lovely comments

[@sunitashastry5270]

Thank you for mentioning what would be the cost of putting Rosy Hardy’s plan into practice right away. I always wonder at people who redo a whole bunch of garden areas in one season. I figure they have a lot more time and money than I do to do it all at once. Some suggestions.: some of the plants you have too many of, you can exchange with other friends.Here in my area in Midwest USA, we have a garden club sale in early May, where I give away some of my extras and get a few plants for v little money from other members. Also, I would use a similar looking annual for a few years, until I can get all the perennials bought , planted and reaching mature size,

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you for your kind comments, yes it is just too expensive buying everything at once. I can’t bear to get rid of plants I usually take plants to work and give them away.

[@lindat5321]

Love all you do in the garden.

[@annaz9080]

Glad to hear you will be revamping the border in stages. I need to do the same and appreciate seeing how you tackle it. Your planting diagram looks interesting, hope you make a video walking us thru it. Love your content, thanks for sharing!

[@MurphysGarden]

Check out the Rosy’s valuable plant list in the description if you need some ideas for your own garden but I will keep documenting what I’m up to Thanks for watching

One thing I’ve found with echinacea seed is that damp chill time in the refrigerator for a month really improves germination. I dampen a coffee filter, put the seed in between, fold and put in a plastic bag in the fridge. Don’t forget to label.

[@MurphysGarden]

Great tip. My seed is on its way, I will do that but might not be able to leave it for a month, will a week do?

I live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I have a very shaded area of garden where I've planted Double Wedding Gown Hydrangeas. They actually seem to prefer the heavy shade as when one of them got more sun, it didn't do well. I don't know if these are available in the UK but might be an option for you under your hornbeams. They have a beautiful double white flower which then goes to charteuse ending in a dark red for fall. I'm really enjoying your videos and love your garden.

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you for your comments, I haven’t heard of this hydrangea, I will look it up, I’m always learning new things from you all!
