Yes I do love these tours; please continue. Your plant selection is unique. (I came here months ago by way of the orchids collab with Hello Plant Lovers' Matthew from Melbourne.)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

What a lovely comment and thank you. I mightn't post many orchid videos these days but I'm a big fan of Matthew's. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@paulinecrispin121]

I love your walk about garden tours. 😊😊😊

[@GardeningatDouentza]

So nice of you. Thank you for joining me

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

Oh my, that Scarlet Heaven Peony😍😍😍. There was a point there in the video I thought you were going to blow away.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Haha, my dress was acting as a sail 😆

[@dibrown3996]

Beautiful garden, loved the tour.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you so much.

[@ammorales1524]

Enjoyed the tour as always! Everything is beautiful.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thanks so much!

[@wandashaw3551]

Hi Rachel, your garden is absolutely stunning. So lush and colorful. ❤❤❤. And the Peonies are yummy 😋 😍.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you, Wanda. Yum yum.

[@IanKennedy-c6b]

Thanks for the garden tour. You asked how we feel about this type of video. I like that you show it mistakes and all. Like when you planted the tree thw wrong way around on an earlier tour and had to replant. Weve all done similar. Just spent 3 days digging out a bamboo which was trying to take over the world despite a barrier. If you could perhaps include some how too bits, unusual plants we might like a go at and design suggestions. A help Q and A episode perhaps? Dont take any of this as a negative viewing your vids are a Sunday treat.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you for all those great suggestions. Of course I don't take it amiss ☺️ There is plenty of food for thought there. That bamboo sounds a nightmare. I will start collecting questions for a q&a again. It's been a while.

[@FernandaNascimentoOrchids]

[@LAllan-ls5er]

Stunning way to have just spent 20 minutes . I could spend a week in your gardens . I don’t know what I loved most . Thank you .

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Ah, thank you so much 😊

[@eccremocarpusscaber5159]

Rachel, your garden always inspires me! I’ve become more of an outdoor plantsman in past 4 years. Always nice to get inspiration 😃

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I am really glad to hear my garden inspires. Outdoor gardening is so good for our general wellbeing.

[@grannyplants1764]

Love the garden walkabout videos, there are many new ( to me) plants to see, and the colors of flowers and leaves is so interesting to look at. Also chuckled at the inscrutable Maoi statue, I have a small one too 🗿 Thank you for the tour, now off to look up that lovely Roscoea humeana ! 🌿

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I think it's always nice to have unusual plants. It makes gardening more interesting. The plant world is so varied and diverse! Yes, Mr Easter Island plays his part too 😄

[@nicholasryan5401]

Greetings from the midlands, You have beautiful looking garden and lovely pots, They are the bees knees.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Well, thank you. I do always wonder what fancy wear those bees put on their knees 😉

[@ThePerennialGardenSociety]

Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee USA. Your garden is looking splendid and inviting. Thank you for sharing the perennial garden love with the nations! We love your channel.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Hello from Wexford all the way to Nashville. I am very pleased you can find interest in my Irish garden and thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@KR-vl2zf]

Gosh, I would love to hear more about your roscoea collection they're such wonderful little things!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I love my Roscoea. Maybe I should make a video about them. In the meantime, maybe you missed this video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIGbfKpsi8aDrKssi=2FFqZCLcYWcV7OeH

[@kotsifou]

I really like seeing your garden tours and especially what you can grow in a rainy environment. We have been getting really lots of rain this spring in central Germany, as well...a bit of a pain if you ask me... Slugs demolished my cosmos seedlings. What do you do to control slug damage?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

It's hard to know where we stand at all with this climate change. Sorry to hear about your seedlings. Slugs are really bad here this year but I'm not sure I have any great solutions. Copper tape, around the necks of pots or across the greenhouse doorjam helps. Beer traps make them die happy. Egg shells or horticultural grit as a barrier. Place pots on a bed of grit to stop slugs climbing up the drainage hole. Hope these help.

[@Ruth1803ZigZag]

You have so many beautiful pants. Do you ever sell seeds?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you. Nah I don't usually sell plants or seed any more. I'll put the occasional plant for sale on my Facebook page

[@markfeliu2206]

Great episode as usual Rachel! Your garden is always so beautiful. I can only imagine it in person. Thanks again, take care.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you so much. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

[@JamesBrown-i2e]

Rachel, greetings from Kentucky. Your garden is so beautiful. I totally understand what you said about growing roses. I have six David Austin roses in my garden and sadly because we in my state have had such a wet Spring (and it's raining today as well), three of my roses have already lost all their foliage due to blackspot and rust. I have to constantly spray my roses. It's making me rethink growing roses. I might consider removing some and replacing the space with lilies and peonies. Happy gardening, James

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Greetings back from Wexford to Kentucky. Yeah, that rose spraying really isn't worth it and it's bad for the environment. It is a pity but we have to be pragmatic about these things.

[@violetraton8731]

your channel popped on my screen, watched it and I love the Jovellana violacea - I googled it here in Western Canada and the english name is violet teacup... i don't think if I see this plant here at all but enjoy your video for the first time. thank you

[@GardeningatDouentza]

You are very welcome to the channel. Violet teacup is a really descriptive name for this bush. I just love it. This Chilean bush is rare here in Ireland too but I just love unusual plants. I hope you find it in Canada. Happy growing!

[@karlsorchidparty2395]

What is the dark tree at the left of you at 10:35? If I may ask... 😊

[@GardeningatDouentza]

That's an elder, Sambucus 'Thundercloud'.

[@SpinyBeauty]

What a lovely gatden you have! Hi Rachel! I'm a new subscriber and a new KZbinr too.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Welcome to the channel. Just had a look at your channel and left a comment. I wish you all the best.

[@SpinyBeauty]

@@GardeningatDouentza Thank you so much!

[@verrettjared]

Hello, i just came across your taro repotting video and enjoyed the tour. May i ask where i could get a Giant Taro?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I'm sorry I don't know where you can buy giant taro, even if I knew which country you live in

[@VeronicaGilles-h1n]

More videos please😅❤😅

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Okay, thanks for the feedback 🙂
