Moving Feverfew, Pruning Rosemary + Planting Summer Bulbs // Cottoverdi

Today I'm moving some feverfew that is swamping my roses, and moving a mystery shrub/tree. I also need to give my rosemary a long-overdue prune and Richard helped me to plant the Peacock Orchids.
I will only ever recommend products that I use regularly and believe to be good value.

I now know what is missing in my life ! It’s a Richard ! Great video as always .💐

[@cottoverdi]

🤣 He is a blessing 🥰

[@penelopehammerton2907]

Another enjoyable video, thank you Annette. Looking forward to seeing your bulbs in flower.

[@cottoverdi]

Thanks so much Penelope. 😊🌸

I love the peacock orchid, they smell heavenly and well worth the trouble of digging up each fall and storing where I live 🇨🇦

[@cottoverdi]

Yes, they really do smell wonderful! And, 'hi' to you in Canada - we LOVE Canada 🥰🇨🇦🍁⛰️

[@rosemarybushea3447]

Though I've been gardening 40+ years, I'm always learning. Good tip on pruning the rosemary - I have one about 5 ft tall and 4 ft wide near a path that I just trim whenever its branches get in the way. And I have a few Peacock orchids planted but never knew they were scented! Enjoying your videos.

[@cottoverdi]

Thanks Rosemary (Great name by the way!). 😊

Another vlog of viewing enjoyment 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much 😊😁

Feverfew seeds itself everywhere in my garden- usually in the most awkward of places and I invariably have to move it. Such a pretty flower to add to bouquets though, that I can forgive it. I took rosemary cuttings from a friends shrub, late last Autumn. I think they've taken. I am s bit worried to turn out the pot though, just in case they don't have enough root yet. I have my potted gladioli bulbs to plant out on my allotment but no idea when I will have he time as my dahlias are taking up a lot of my tim and pricking out/potting on the Summer annuals. Really pleased with most things as it was a slow start to the spring. The peonies and roses are looking exciting- they should be full of colour in a week or so 🙂Thanks for a great video, Annette. Happy gardening 🙂

[@cottoverdi]

Hi Be, thanks for your support. It's so wonderful to know that we 'gardeners' are all doing very similar things in our gardens and it feels like a lovely friendly community and I love chatting with you about it. Thank you for joining in 🥰

I plant my peacock orchids in a window box on my deck. I've begun planting my annuals out too, The temps have been in the 20C's here. Happy gardening! Bonny

[@cottoverdi]

Hi Bonny, it sounds like your weather is warming up. How lovely. Do you find you need to stake the Peacock Orchids in the window boxes? They grow quite tall for me - about 1m high. 😊

[@richbishop7896]

@@cottoverdi Mine are tall too but I plant them close together and they don't need staking.

[@cottoverdi]

@@richbishop7896 Oh, ok. That's good to know. Thanks Bonny xx

[@tinacruz9162]

Try removing the “candles” new growth from the spruce, this will help size control it, I think it’s fabulous. Just a suggestion for you.

[@cottoverdi]

Ah, thanks Tina! I really appreciate the tip - I didn't know you could do that. 😊👍🏼

[@eliev7844]

Great video, Annette. You have so much knowledge! Just out of interest: do you come from a horticultural background?

[@cottoverdi]

Thanks Elie, no, no formal training at all - just a LOT of practice, 1000's of mistakes, and hours of research. I just love gardening so much that I find it easy to learn new things. It's all so interesting.

[@Ralphyflower]

What is the name of the lovely smelling white bulb? As always I learn a lot from you.

[@cottoverdi]

Hi Sally, I think you're talking about the Peacock Orchid (Acidanthera murielae (syn. Gladiolus)) 😊
