So inviting ❤🤗

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thanks for watching

[@CatherinesGardenHomeLWS]

What a beautiful garden. My urban cottage garden is very simple but you have inspired me to add some more dahlias to my garden. They are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your joy!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you for watching and for such great comments.

[@FernandaNascimentoOrchids]

Yes, everytime we look at your garden videos, it looks different but always so interesting. The Roscoea flowers and so weird... The Hydrangea paniculata look glorious and the Persicaria surely is doing a good job. Very lovely stroll around your amazing garden, thank you very much.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you, Fernanda. I try not to always talk about the same plants but, actually, it's not hard because in different seasons different plants call out. Wishing you a great evening!

[@karanmyers5879]

I love the nicotiana. I grow Sylvester is and langsdorfii.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

It does make a super annual

[@cheirodosulcanalblog4758]

Merci, c'est un vrai plaisir :) Bonne soirée !

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Pas de quoi et merci d'etre venue pour la promenade :)

[@eileentarrant9220]

I’ve found a plant you might like to try ,it’s called Campanula Bobs Blunder ,it’s got pinky brown foliage pretty pink flowers ,and from a 2inch plant spreads to at least 5ft wide and turns bright re in autumn before I cut it back .love to you and your garden ET

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Geranium 'Bob's Blunder' looks like a real gem of a plant. Thank you for telling me about it and happy growing!

[@miche7032]

Wow your garden is such a beautiful, peaceful & inviting place ! That’s a lot of work of love. Thank you for the tour, really enjoyed it.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you for taking part.

[@mnkycmnkydu]

Everything is of course beautiful! And I enjoyed it all SO much. HUGE proper respect to you on your fabulous Cardiocrinum! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you so much. Have a great day!

[@gilliann5776]

Beautiful garden, thank you for showing it and I learned loads too.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you for coming along for the tour. Happy growing!

[@denisecarvill4705]

Your garden is fabulous! Enjoy!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you

[@Nulife23]

Wow! All so Beautiful! What a garden heading into fall time! Stunning areas especially the persicaria on the banks! Love it so! And iam going to get me some of your selinum! Already found a nursery close by who sells This! Just a wonderful tour...thanks so much for sharing!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you so much, Jeanne, for such positive feedback. The selinum can be grown from seed too. That's how I got mine and it's handy if you want loads of plants. Happy growing!

[@BBQNBLUES]

Monty Don NEEDS to visit your Stunning Garden !

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Haha. You tell him!

[@robertforrest7956]

We had a huge black fig tree in the yard. Lots of fruit...😊

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Yum yum

[@benwinkel]

I love your Gargoyles and the fact that you've named them. Lovely video Rachel, there are more than enough focal points in your garden that are able to attract the attention of your visitor's on 'Open Day'. I'm sure it was a big success. Your Acer Japonica Aconitifolia(did i spell that right?) has seeds. Have you tried propagating it?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Hi again, Ben, and I am glad you like our gargoyles. They are almost a part of the family at this stage. I haven't tried to grow the acer tree from seed. I think one is enough for me ;-)

[@benwinkel]

And you have a Sassafras!(I have always wondered what 'root beer' tastes like...)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Haha. Well, actually, it isn't sasparilla as I said in the video (I put a note on the screen) but the sassafras tree makes fabulous autumn colour.

[@benwinkel]

@@GardeningatDouentza Yes i saw that too late. :) I actually did some research on Root Beer. It is made from the Sassafras root bark, among other ingredients. In the USA it's no longer used because it's a suspected carcinogenic. I'm now in doubt if i still want to try Root Beer. :)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

@@benwinkel Haha

[@danjackson4149]

you mentioned in a previous clip liking stipa tenuissima best of all the grasses....have you come across/grown jarava ichu, and if so, what is the main difference between that and s. tenuissima?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I don't grow Stipa ichu but from what I can see it looks quite different to Stipa tenuissima. Stipa ichu has feathery plumes. S. tenuissima does not. Stipa ichu is deciduous though so will not be around in winter whereas S. tenuissima will. Hope this helps.

[@christinebeames2311]

Your looking SOOO MUCH BETER XXXXXX

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Really. Well, thank you.

[@thebotanicalark6608]

The nicotiana is in fact nicotiana mutablis

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Yes, probably Nicotiana mutabilis. This is what I wrote on the screen and in the video description. Let's see if it comes through this winter!
