Hi from Hendersonville, TN, USA! I am fairly new to your channel. Thank you for taking the time to take us along as you toured this beautiful garden! Also, thank you for explaining its history and your family’s personal connection with the present owners. I, for one, would love to see a drone of this property. I’d think the circular Peony Garden of special interest when the Hydrangeas are in bloom. Your Botanical print collection is lovely as is your home & personal Gardens. Thank you for sharing them with us as well as ideas on how to make our own gardens more beautiful. Blessings!

Thank you for your lovely comments and welcome to the channel, it’s good to have you join us Jenny

[@ginamansfield4376]

You are most welcome. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for all your efforts. You are appreciated!

Love the wall art on your stairway it looks amazing, would love to see a tour of your house any plans for a house tour?

[@MurphysGarden]

That would mean I’d have to clean the house and I much prefer gardening to housework! 🤣 Thanks for watching Jenny

[@chrisdooney5374]

@@MurphysGarden aw we wouldn't mind... anyway it really does look beautiful as does you garden.. love the videos😀

[@MurphysGarden]

Thank you, we’ve still got lots to do inside as well as out! We will be starting our cellar dig out very soon and we will be videoing it all. I’m sure that will unearth (literally) no end of issues and surprises so keep watching!!!

Hi Jenny . Great video of Hodnet Hall. I live in Gnosall near Newport Shropshire. Have been to Hodnet Hall several times our selves. Next wednesday we are having afternoon tea there with my sister and her husband. Love watching your video's and the progress you are making in your garden. Have given me a lot of idea's for my garden. Would have put some photo's for you to comment on but can not do it from here. Our labrador Percy say's hi to Murphy. Regards Graham

[@MurphysGarden]

Hi Graham Lovely to hear from a local! Hope you have a wonderful afternoon tea at Hodnet, I’m sure you will! So glad you are enjoying the videos and I’m thrilled if I’m giving you inspiration! I get lots of ideas from all the great comments I get on the channel too, it’s good to share our thoughts and ideas. You can always drop me a photo on instagram if you want to. Thanks for watching and hi to Percy from Murphy 🐾 Jenny

So jealous of your rain 😮 we're still waiting in Suffolk. Those ants!! Beautiful print to add to your collection. I've been given the RHS diaries over the years and cut the pictures out to frame 😊

[@MurphysGarden]

That’s a great idea re: the RHS diaries. We’ve had lots of rain but I know In Lincolnshire too they’ve had virtually nothing. I was horrified to see all those ants, I found the same in a dead blueberry bush in a pot, I don’t know how to stop it happening again! Thanks for watching Jenny

[@brefnejowers9747]

@@MurphysGarden apparently if you water the plant until the water runs right through most of the ants will leave, then if you suspend the plant in a large saucer of water (presumably lift the plant on chocks or something) the ants won't come back as they can't swim. I think yours was too far gone though, more ants than soil!

[@MurphysGarden]

Thanks for that, I will keep a close eye on my new ones and do that at the first sign. I’ll lift the pots off the ground too Thanks
