May Front Garden Tour - My English Garden - 2023

Your garden is lovely. All I need is a blanket and I would lie on your lawn in the sunshine, picking out the plants I like.

[@paultsworld]

That’s a lovely sentiment and a great way to enjoy a sunny day.

[@NoraParrs]

When you show us your beautiiful garden you always mention the things you owe to do. And they are many. Would you show us your doing all that work in the garden. We would love to see you doing it.

[@paultsworld]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed my video!

[@jcking6785]

What a nice surprise to see a new video and a new look for you - quite handsome! Your garden is unbelievably beautiful, so much color. It’s breathtaking! At 1:26, a very colorful shrub comes into view, left of the rhodo; what is that? Pieris? I lost several azaleas from the Arctic Blast that hit the US around Christmas but thankfully my one deciduous azalea (my favorite one due to its amazing color and fragrance) did survive, providing me a glorious show this spring. This video has convinced me to add more deciduous azaleas to my garden. And the wedding cake tree is incredibly lovely; I think must have one of those as well. Bittercress and dandelions proliferate in my garden as well - such annoying plants but not as obnoxious as the Bermuda grass that has taken over parts of my yard and gardens! UGH! I have some clematis that I would love to propagate so I hope you will make a video when you take cuttings from yours. Thanks for another lovely tour of your garden.

[@paultsworld]

Thank you JC - very kind of you. Yes, it’s a pieris - probably forest flame. I remember reading about that arctic blast you had late last year - makes our ‘harsh’ Winter sound a bit weedy. I wonder if the deciduous azaleas are hardier than the evergreen - your experience suggests so. Yes, let’s do these clematis cuttings together in a few weeks when everyone’s temperatures have warmed up.

[@christineborgatti3760]

[@margaretmichelsen766]

Good Morning Paul, How beautiful, it must have been wonderful coming home to the garden looking so marvellous. Sailing the Mediterranean..ah sigh I wish I was there that week, we had one day of cold high winds and another of SNOW... in MAY at 800 meters ( you hear the indignation in my voice🤣) I love that clematis that you have on the wall. You make me want to try deciduous azaleas, but they don't do well here, but I want to try one more time after seeing yours.. but you ARE the Azalea king. Dandelions are the bane of my existence, the tap root goes to China and they hide next to other plants and the next thing you know, there is the seed head. It looks like you have had the perfect amount of Spring rain for all the plants to look so splendid and healthy. The path bed looking up to the Aubrietias looks amazing with every colour represented, just inspirational.

[@paultsworld]

Hello Margaret - snow! Here we go again 😆. It is amazing how these dandelions hide in plain sight - I grab them just as the ‘clock’ blows in all directions. Temperatures have been below the seasonal average but rain levels have been good. Go on - one more try with a deciduous azalea… you can do it!

[@margaretmichelsen766]

I'll do it! Any excuse to go to the nursery. Yes, we had below average temperatures last Spring. Made growing vege challenging. In fact, food production failed for us for the most part and now we are going into El Niino, so drought for us soon. 😳

[@paultsworld]

@@margaretmichelsen766 so it’s an El Niño year? Hope that doesn’t mean a really bad drought for you? - not even sure if we’re affected at all over here.

[@margaretmichelsen766]

Yes, it means drought for us on the Eastern seaboard. Margaret, start mulching! I hope your soils warm up soon, so those cannas and bananas can start growing.

[@paultsworld]

How are you roses doing? May and June must be the best moment for your English Roses to bloom. I loved to met and see your plants and gardens. I'm watching a Lilly(oriental variety) and a German rose bloom here in my house. First time experience with these kinds, never planted them before. It's called, "Eisvogel", I found them online, very perfumed and changes their color in the moonlight and they turn orange in the morning sun.

[@paultsworld]

The roses are starting to bud - they will be in full flower in June. Thank you for letting me know about Eisvogel - I'll check it out, it sounds interesting.

[@kat3910]

Wow - the trip around Greece in the yacht looks amazing ~ I've always wanted to go there!! And then you came home to such beautiful flowers - thanks for sharing!! I look forward to seeing the back garden and what transpired with the tropicals. I potted up a what said it was a PERENNIAL BANANA, but it did not make it through the winter, even though the winter was not terribly harsh here. Oh well, I guess I'll need to buy a new one and bring it in to over winter. The trouble is I am totally running out of space!!!!!! ;)

[@paultsworld]

I do love sailing round the Greek Islands - I must have been about 10 times! I’m just checkering out the tropicals and seeing how they’re doing - I’ll do a video of them. Sorry your perennial banana didn’t make it - sounds like a musa basjoo - mine doesn’t look good but I’m giving it more time.

[@mariniedermeyer7235]

Thank you for another lovely video! I have also watched your videos about birds in the garden and followed your advice about what to feed them best. I can report a really great increase in different species in my garden now besides the cheeky Magpies! So thank you for all your great advice and say hello to Mr Robin! Greetings from Switzerland 😊

[@paultsworld]

[@wendybartlett6717]

Seem to have lost my original message! Your garden always looks fabulous Paul but I particularly love it at this time of the year when your Azaleas and Rhododendrons are in bloom. A lady on another channel was talking about Clematis Avalanche but hers wasn't flowering at the time and I thought I'd like one. Having seen yours I now know that I definitely want one! It's stunning. Glad that you enjoyed your holiday. We once went on a boat trip around Paxos and Antipaxos and I've never forgotten the colours of the water even though it was many years ago. We were away too last week staying at Ynys Castell on Anglesey and the property had stunning gardens and when the tide went out, we were able to walk along the causeway to Plas Cadnant hidden gardens. Like you, I've come home and been amazed at how much the garden has romped away. Look forward to seeing your next video and I hope the Robin makes another appearance. Thanks Paul.

[@paultsworld]

I agree Wendy, the azaleas and rhododendrons really ‘make’ the front garden during Spring - hopefully the hydrangeas will then take over. I also called in at Paxos & Antipaxos - I seem to always visit those islands whether I’m sailing in the Northern or Southern Ionian. Glad you enjoyed a stay on Anglesey - great place. I noticed some clematis ‘Avalanche’ at Goredale yesterday. I’ll ask Mr Robin if he intends going for a second brood - I’ve read they can have three.

[@wendybartlett6717]

@@paultsworld Gordale here I come! Thanks for that Paul. Yes, it would be lovely if Mr.Robin could have another brood. I didn't know that he could potentially have three. I've not seen mine for a few days but some huge birds that look like Ravens (I'm not good at identifying birds) have appeared. Started with one, then another and now a third. They are very vocal!

[@paultsworld]

Good ol' Goredale! Once the robins have had a brood they sometimes aren't seen so much - I hope yours returns. I don't think you've got ravens - are they crows perhaps?

[@wendybartlett6717]

@@paultsworld Perhaps they are crows Paul. Only thought of ravens as they look like the birds at The Tower of London. They're massive. I hope the robin returns as I like watching it when I'm gardening. Pleased to say that I got Avalanche yesterday from Gordale's. Couldn't resist buying lots of other plants too but that's what us gardeners do. Hope my Avalanche turns out as good as yours.

[@paultsworld]

@@wendybartlett6717 fabulous you got yourself an Avalanche - and other goodies - hope it performs for you. Your Robin will be back sometime - mine wasn’t here at the patio for the first time in months. They do go ‘walk-about’.

Thanks for this tour of your beautiful garden Paul. I’m envious of your clematis Montana. We have a white one at the front of the house and a pink one at the back that have been so lovely for the past 5 years but this year, they’re both dead. Not one flower and no new leaf shoots either😢 not sure what’s happened. The pink one has quite an old trunk with many winding branches at the base. Maybe they’ve just got too old.

[@paultsworld]

Thank you Ellie - I am really pleased you like the garden. What a shame both your clematises have died - I wonder why? I'll do a video in a few weeks on propagating clematises so perhaps you could take some cuttings from other montanas?

[@TJ-bn2cn]

If you can’t get cuttings from your clematis you could try, laying a young low branch in the soil, without leaves in the soil and often they’ll root.

[@paultsworld]

That's a good tip, thank you - layering can be very effective.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

I've been having problems with chlorosis on my rhododendrons too in the past few seasons. Someone told me to use a lot of peat moss, coco peat, pine bark and pine needles in the potting mix to make the soil more acidic. It worked out great. No chlorosis this year. Maybe you could dig up the soil around the trunk and ammend it with these materials. Hope it works. Thanks for the lovely video.

Paul oh no Daphne’s roots are very sensible to root disturbance and can’t be moved once planted. These plants are very difficult to grow and are woodland plants I have killed too many as I love them so much that’s why they expensive. Put them in complete shade and free draining eracasus soil is ideal. I hope your daphne be saved. Like have several and some are in sunny are but I keep them covered with a bed sheet. Don’t over water either make sure it’s free draining soil almost how you plant lavender but use eracisus soil. Good luck

Not even a nibble on your hostas!! 😯Do you do anything in particular to protect them, or are you just a lucky chap?? 🤗 Is it the bark chip that stops the slugs…?

[@paultsworld]

That’s a good point about the bark chips. I think it may make a difference - not so much that the slugs can’t get over it but it is always so dry that they probably don’t like it. I have hostas under shrubs in the back garden that do get eaten - and already have large holes in them.

[@paultsworld]

Hi Michael - here’s a link to the Facebook advert I saw and bought direct from them. Glad you like the videos. fb.watch/kz6o6kHi5q/

Hi Paul I would like to ask about Cornus kousa Tri-Splendour dogwood. Where didi you buy? I am looking for but I haven’t see on sale.

[@paultsworld]

Hi Lenda, that’s a great choice - these cornus are spectacular. I bought mine at a garden centre in North Wales many years ago. I suppose you could try online and see if there are any specialist growers. Good luck!

[@25MLenda]

@@paultsworld thank you

[@itsmewende]

Yeah it’s nice being in the garden, but there’s no place better then being on the water, lucky you. As always it’s looking just lovely. You’re Daphne may need a male or a female, I just learned about those a couple years ago and bought the male and female. Last year neither had a bloom and this year both of them bloomed.

[@paultsworld]

I agree - I just love it out on the waves - so calming. Now that is interesting - male and female daphne. I’d better look into this - thank you Wende for letting me know. 🌻

[@itsmewende]

@@paultsworld You’re welcome, I do have the tags in the planters, I can let you know which ones I have tomorrow.

[@paultsworld]

Thank you - i’d be interested in knowing.

i have a rhodidendrum in the garden i want to lift and reposition it..when do u think the best time to do it

[@paultsworld]

The Spring is a good time to move most things. However the rhododendron flowers in the Spring so maybe enjoy the flowers then move as soon as it’s finished flowering. If you want to do it sooner then do it just after your last frosts.

[@ThePegasus101]

@@paultsworld i moved it in may its fine..no blooms this year but im sure it will do better now

[@paultsworld]

@@ThePegasus101 very good. As it’s a woodland plant it will appreciate ericaceous soil and azalea food - plus plenty of water, especially while it’s increasing its roots.

@@paultsworld okk great.......i sowed seeds this summer some of them looked like daisies or anemonies...pink n white..i wonder what they are as i threw the packet away lol id love to sow again..they grew to 6feet ...green furry stems...

What clematis is behind you in the beginning ?

[@paultsworld]

That is the evergreen clematis ‘Avalanche’ Nice isn’t it!

[@Karincl7]

It s beautiful, can it handle cold winters ?

[@paultsworld]

@@Karincl7 it was absolutely fine in this last harsh British Winter - and it’s in a pot which gets colder. It’s hardy to zone 7 -7 centigrade.

[@Karincl7]

That s good news, I m gonna check it out where I can find him.. thank you

[@paultsworld]

You’re welcome - good luck

[@gardensenglishanddance]

Some people are just lucky (yachtsmen) while others have to work very hard preparing the students for the final exams :-) The garden looks stunning, perhaps you should go away more often ;-) What's happened to all the weeds? You don't seem to have any at all! I must have been doing something wrong for years ...

[@paultsworld]

That’s a great idea Jolanta - I go on holiday and the garden improves - win, win! 😄🌸

[@gardensenglishanddance]

@@paultsworld I wish I could follow in your footsteps!

[@paultsworld]

Hopefully you’ll be able to relax once exam season is over and your students fly the nest.

[@gardensenglishanddance]

@@paultsworld Most of my students occupy the nest semi-permanently, they seem emotionally attached to my sofa :-) I am going to have less work from July on, that's certain. Actually, I am going on a five-day tour of gardens located in Surrey and Sussex!

[@paultsworld]

How interesting doing a tour of English gardens - hopefully with your camera?
