November Garden Tour + Digging up our Dahlias | Perennial Garden

[@catherinehenderson627]

Lovely video. It does feel a little sad when all the lovely plants go over. I enjoy seeing the interaction between the two of you and your obvious love for each other. Gentle teasing between a couple shows the regard you each have for the other person

[@perennial-garden]

Sad...but knowing they'll come back makes it all worth it. And thank you for commenting on us 🥰 We do enjoy spending time together... and we're glad that shows. Sometimes I worry that we might be 'too much' for some people. haha... but I'm glad you can see that it all comes from respect. Huge greetings from Denmark to you!

[@elizabethlake6986]

I get so much pleasure watching your channel guys, and no you're not too much, your warmth for each other is lovely don't ever change. I'm so glad your neighbours were unharmed during their unfortunate fire. Great tip with the masking tape to name your dahlias I shall be utilising this method myself when I lift mine. Also I hope you are taking cuttings from your erysimum Bowles Mauve they can flower all year but usually only live 2 or 3 years excuse me if you know this already. Good to see you love your Hydrangeas as much as I do.

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks so much for saying that! And yes... the people (and the actual house where they lived) were ok. Very thankful for that. And super great that you can use the masking tape idea! It's what we have around the house :) And we haven't taken any Erysimum cuttings this year at all -- we need to get on that before any more frost comes. It's actually still doing ok this far into November! It's one tough plant for sure.

Oh take care Lars❤..... Get well soon... I will pray for you guys...... Stay safe and love you🎉

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much! He's already much much better today 🥰

[@thegardenerkids...1683]

​@@perennial-gardenyes❤ heard that in the video too..... Yayyy !!.... There's something about you guys that draws the viewers in 🎉 ..... Whole hearted Wishes for a million subs soon🎉

[@perennial-garden]

😸THAT is super super sweet of you to say... especially when it doesn't feel like it sometimes. We started this channel this year just for fun... and for us to take public note of what's growing, etc. So 'fun' is our first goal... growth is our second 😅🥰@@thegardenerkids...1683

[@mapndo2337]

Lars, I'm so sorry you got Covid...get better soon friend. Lots of rest, fluids, Vitamin C. 😊

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks😊. I’m back at work today - just 2 days down 💪🏼. Taking my vitamin C!

[@sydneygardener540]

What in the world is happening. Both my wife and I have Covid since Monday…….spooky. Always a joy watching and seeing the garden in the soft light😊

[@perennial-garden]

Oh no! Hope you guys are ok and recover quickly☀️.

[@juanramos.jr.7948]

Love the video. I appreciate all the hard work that both of you put into your garden. Do not think your tenacity goes unnoticed! Your garden still looks great.l can't wait to see the snow!❤❤❤❤😊

[@perennial-garden]

THANKS so much! (always so encouraging 🥰...that means a lot! ) Now that the dahlias are up and stored... we are officially ready for the winter ❄

[@adrianamorrison8743]

Thanks for a great video, cant wait to see your garden progress!

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks for watching! We loved what it did this season... so it can only go up from there :)

[@MadAboutGardening]

Thanks for the tour guys, hope you're on the mend Lars. Take care.

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks! Feeling way better.

[@ekgarden]

Love the monkshood plant, it's so beautiful.🤩

[@perennial-garden]

It really is. Poisonous if mishandled… but very pretty 💜

[@mercury_rising]

Thanks for sharing 😊 Feel better soon, Lars!

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much! He's feeling way better... just a few days down and then he was up and at 'em again :) Hope you and yours are doing well, too!

[@77sun222]

Hi I absolutely love the banter between you two. The background stories are very interesting. Sorry you have COVID Lars. I have had my flu vaccination and my COVID every year since 2020. Not even a sniffle do I get (touch wood). In the beginning I was terrified of the vaccine. But eventually succumbed,with no pressure. It has been worth it so far. I'm a bit like Allen too,in that I expand my comments to get the story across. I'll stop for now. So much to comment on💯🌟🌟👏🐝🪱🪱🪱

[@perennial-garden]

Glad you can tolerate our banter 😅 We enjoy being together - glad that shows and that our little side stories don’t bore you too much 😀 Lars was quickly well again after that episode. Thank goodness. We’re also vaccinated and very thankfully so. 🙏🏼

[@user-tz5yp2dj4q]

Thank you for this delightful video. I think your garden still looks very beautiful in it's late autumn glory. I awoke this morning to our first frost of the year (30 miles south of London) but it was a light one so I hope some of my tender annuals will have made it through. Lars clearly likes collecting seeds as much as I do 😀 I notice that you grew Agastache; it's a great 'doer' and dies back well. I grow Black Adder and will plant more next year. Best wishes for a speedy recovery from Covid Lars. Thanks again. Melanie

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting ❤️. Lars is completely fine now, very thankful for that. And another seed collector! 🥰 We love those type of people - the best of people 😅

[@TrowelandError]

Watching late but hope you're feeling better, Lars! Things still look awesome in your garden and I love Lars is always seed hunting 😂

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks so much! I'm feeling much better... maybe it was finding the seeds that cured me. 🤣

[@TrowelandError]

@@perennial-garden I bet that was it! I'm glad you're better!

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks so much 💚

[@kiyamaorchids]

thanks for a great video

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you for watching! Greetings from 🇩🇰

[@wendybartlett6717]

Your garden is still looking great. Thanks for the tour. I can remember being so surprised when my first time seed sown Dahlias produced their tubers. Nature is wonderful. Get well soon Lars and hope you don't catch Covid Allen. You two always brighten my day with your lovely personalities.

[@perennial-garden]

These are our first dahlias from seeds, too. We’ll probably be surprised again next year, tho 😂 Creation is just incredible! And thank you! Lars is feeling much better (our son and I didn’t catch it - so that’s great!) ❤️

[@James25620]

I also grow that variety of aconitum and found the seeds have to be fresh, surface sown and cold stratified. The ones I scattered on the soil outdoors to overwinter germinated in spring, but the ones I saved to grow in trays didn’t. Just a heads up if you weren’t aware! 😊

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks so much, James! We keep this one outdoors, too so nature can handle the cold part. We have tried (with other seeds, too) using the fridge, etc. ...but it's too much work... when we have the cold already outdoors.

[@laurelsayer7557]

Enjoying your garden. Interesting to see which plants 'die well'. Would be great if you could include the variety names as you go round too,

[@perennial-garden]

We’ll do that next time for sure! Thanks so much for watching 💚

[@suzannebramble6564]

Another great video - you guys are so charming and funny! The garden is still looking good. Love it when I find unexpected seedlings - make sure you give that worm to Allen Lars! Still wet here in the south of the UK and I am still waiting to plant my tulip bulbs. Get well soon Lars. Take care both.

[@perennial-garden]

He loves finding unexpected seedlings, too 💚. Hoping for drier weather for you soon! (And Lars says thank you! He was already back at work today. Feeling way better.)

[@jasnamaver5735]

Maybe I would add some pansy to the pots for colors.

[@perennial-garden]

Those would look really nice! And bring some color into the mix 🥰

[@lienam4987]

Hi both, love peaking into your garden, great fun, thanks. ☺️ Did you know that there are different kinds of earthworms? There are red wrigglers in compost, helping to break the compost down. And then there are bigger, paler ones that live in the soil and dig deep, aerating the soil. Are you taking the paler ones into your compost? They will probably just come back to the garden anyway. 😂 I am not hundred percent sure, but I would say - leave your worms where they are, your compost will be well and dandy anyway. 🙈🤭🍀🙌🏻

[@perennial-garden]

Love that! We’re not worm experts at all - so we will take your advice 🤓. I’m just glad to see them - knowing that they’re doing something good and that the soil is healthy enough to have them. ❤️🪱

[@lienam4987]

@@perennial-gardenI know what you mean, I am celebrating every earthworm, too. Saw some veeeeery long pale ones when lifted my lawn to make room for more flowers and was very please they are there 🙌🏻

[@perennial-garden]

@@lienam4987 It's like a little pat on the back for sure. Congrats on having so many, too 🥰

[@lulus7511]

Thank you for the tour gentlemen, it’s lovely with these autumn colors too! and the kniphofia is still stunning, I love it! Your greenhouse is nice too, makes me want to get one 🤔 what size is it? Are you growing winter veggies in it? Best wishers of recovrey to Lars. Cheers from France

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you for joining the tour! We're very proud of the kniphofia... it was a sad little guy when we brought it home from the nursery (on sale at the end of the summer)...but it's done really well. We'll divide it at the end of next season. Our greenhouse is really old -- it came with the house when we moved in. I'm not sure how big it is, actually... I'll ask Lars when he's back from work. And no winter veggies for us... only flowering plants for next spring. Happy weekend coming up! Greetings from Denmark.

[@lulus7511]

@@perennial-garden Thank you so much for your answer. I went back to older videos and saw the one where you explain how you painted the greenhouse from silver to black: that’s so much work! And the result is fantastic because it looks like it was manufactured in black ; Looks brand new, congratulations on your DIY skills! In France we are only allowed up to a 5m2 greenhouse without agreement of local authorities and extra taxes. That’s why I asked about the size; your greenhouse looks large enough for my needs, I was just wondering if it was above 5m2 😅 but had I known it came with the house, I wouldn’t have asked this question ; there’s no reason you should know it’s size 🤭 have a great week-end 🍀

[@brocktoon8]

I love the bird houses within the wisteria . . . do birds use them? They are adorable!

[@perennial-garden]

They do use them - 2 of them anyway. Even had babies this year :) There’s another pair checking it out these days … maybe they’ll come back in the spring 🥰

[@brocktoon8]

Oh how wonderful! :D @@perennial-garden

[@77sun222]

Oh dear, Lars does sound poorly. He's so breathless and weak. Here,they prescribe only paracetamol. I would try hot lemon, honey and ginger drinks. All the best Lars🤩🤩☕☕

[@perennial-garden]

We usually go for ginger! Always helps ❤️
