I love bunny she is an outstanding mix of class and pragmatism.

I have had a horrible night after getting shouted at, and this is just so calming and pleasant. I love plants and gardening so much. Thank you for this.

The garden is charming, love the lanterns and chairs, quite artsy and cute.

[@katblyth8153]

Just found your channel. I get really frustrated that there’s endless info online about raising seeds in spring, but almost nothing about raising seeds in autumn. This video answered a lot of questions, so thank you. Off to explore more of your videos now!

They are by Feuerhand, made in Germany, very well made don’t seem to rust!🐇

[@VancouverIslandgirl]

You are a wealth of knowledge, thank-you for sharing your wealth! I hope one day you will show us how you take cuttings of boxwood plants, maybe plant up a pot like you have in the back ground of this video.

[@Knappa22]

In late summer I sow Sweet William seeds from spent pods I collected in July, and I sow them in big trays. I don't bother thinning them or pricking out, I leave them to it until they fill the tray densely, and the soil/compost base is full of root. Then I turn the whole thing out like a sheet of turf, and cut it into 30 squares with scissors and plant them They're as tough as old boots, and give such a beautiful display.

[@joanrossington6932]

I garden in Australia but so much of your advice is a great help.

[@debrabray8855]

Love your content! So informative and instructional.

[@bearmoonbakery]

I must say, I am becoming a fan girl! I have watched almost everything. In the US (Texas) we seem to be all about grass and a border or two. Your lovely tours of gardens gives me so much to think about in dividing my yard into "rooms". Learned about you through the interview with Charles D.

[@digsindirt4490]

I agree. I’m also in Texas (in the suburbs) and it’s grass and borders. Very formal. Very structured. Very boring.

[@maynardgreenhouse]

A whole different growing environment. To replicate the same look as an English garden in Texas where it’s crazy hot 🥵 would be tough

[@kimfox5186]

You are so right in saying that there is nothing quite like stepping out into the garden on a cold winters day to pick some fresh veg for lunch. Love your videos you are so knowledgeable and down to earth. Love these seed trays too. Must find a system 🙂

[@theswissgardenvlog3189]

Great video, very instructive. So many tips about growing many different vegetables and how to better plant and extend the growing season. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@r.b.8061]

I allay enjoy your videos. Very good. Check for seed tray modules and you will finde some one you can use.

[@ericaroberts3919]

This is so helpful! Thanks, Bunny :)

[@coolbananaboy5075]

Enjoy this channel a huge amount - and I appreciate all the knowledge sharing so much. Thank you.

[@bunnyguinness]

It does depend on the time of sowing in the uk sowing in late summer slows bolting, perpetual spinach is really a chard, and sown in late summer you can usually get well over 12 months of cropping, keep cutting it though to keep the young leaves coming. 🐇

[@lindastorey5194]

Thanks Bunny I wish I had those seed trays. Best wishes from west cork Ireland 🍀

[@ienekevanhouten4559]

I love how you just use your hands to grab the compost and fill the trays.

[@juliedobson3039]

[@Kay-qt2id]

I am really enjoying your very informative videos thank you from Melbourne

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It's still too hot in Austin, Texas, to sow plants I think, unless you can provide air-conditioning. Today was a 100 degrees and the rest of the week will only drop to 99 or 98.

[@64shoreline]

Wonderful inspiration - thank you. I am in Burnaby, British Columbia Canada and our weather is very similar. I have sown loads of seeds for fall and winter but will endeavour to find some of the Italian vegetables that you mentioned. I like nothing better than harvesting our produce for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners - one year I had to dig through a bit of snow in order to pick the turnips. Most people here stop gardening at the end of summer but we keep it going all year. I was fortunate to get some 9 star Broccoli seeds from Cork, Ireland so am looking forward to cauliflower next February. Love your videos - so informative and inspiring!

[@marialane1805]

I enjoyed each second of this informative video! You are so lovely in your manner of speech and really answered several questions that I had! Sending you a hug from a small farm in Pennsylvania USA!

[@brendajohnson6628]

Have you considered using styrofoam egg cartons for sowing? Cut the bottom for drainage and you ‘re good to go!😊

[@kathrineporter7845]

Are those lights tealights ...or oil lamps...or battery. Nice!

[@bunnyguinness]

They are oil lamps, made in Germany by Feuerhand. Really well made, they are fab.🐇

Here I store seeded celery in the fridge for one week and it germinates nicely afterwards. Your channel is highly informative even for me as a professional gardener and biologist. Thank you so much for the genious level hacks and inspirations.

[@bunnyguinness]

That’s a great tip, I’ll give it a try - many thanks 🐇

[@joannmicik1924]

I always learn something new. Thank you. I had good luck sowing perennial poppies last fall, so will try veg this year.

Wow, great info and I love, love ,love your colourful chairs and lanterns! I watch so many garden you tube channels surprised I haven't caught you till today! Thanks for sharing, eileen in Virginia.

Thank you bunny, this year for the first time ever I grew green peppers from saved seeds, I’m 62! I plan to try other seeds…I LOVE your channel, You-have much knowledge I have learned lots…I bought 2 concrete pots I hope to cut the bottoms out of so I can plant boxwood in, hubby is having trouble as they are pretty thick…thanks again

[@kathyberal5623]

What zone do you garden in? Here in Canada zone 5, I'm not sure anything will survive pass October. Most years I barely survive passed October. I can only envy those who can.

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Here in Texas, I barely survive August and September. Then last February we had an arctic blast that broke our electric grid. Our weather has certainly become interesting lately and not in a good way. We are currently hosting friends from New Orleans evacuated from Ida. When reporters say there's no electricity, they also mean there is no safe water or working sewage system. No electricity, no water pumps.

[@cquarman]

Most of England is zone 7-ish.

[@patrickgallagher3513]

Hi Bunny, Have you tried sowing your peas and beans between sheets of kitchen roll soaked in a shallow dish on the windowsill (rather like cress)? I then transfer them once the germination has happened and the root has emerged. The mice don't seem to go for them quite as much once the germination has happened.

[@bunnyguinness]

Yes that’s a neat trick, have done it but not for a bit.thanks.🐇

[@deirdrecollins3987]

Hello! Did you say that your chard plants will last as cut and come again over a few years? I love chard and use it all the time. I usually pull the plants and re sow every year. Would they not go to seed the 2 N’d year? Thanks in advance.

[@EmyleneEgusquiza]

Love your pergola. Where did you get them qnd how you maintained it. Keeping it from getting rusty

[@bunnyguinness]

I get Manor Welding or Gedding Mill to make metal items - pots, pergolas, furniture etc to my designs. They are galvanised ( hot dipped galvanised) and acid etched so need no maintenance, are left out permanently and don’t rust.🐇

[@RoseMary-vs3io]

👍✨

[@maynardgreenhouse]

Curious as to what cold zone you are. I’m in zone 6b in southern ct US which means -5 degrees F though it often doesn’t get that cold. Maybe 10 if we’re lucky.

[@seashells5181]

Beer is great for deterring slugs

[@claudialaurendeau2865]

could u use empty egg cartons?

[@bunnyguinness]

You can do but the advantage of the plug trays is the big holes in the base, it makes them really easy to push out. Also if you put the trays on capillary matting it means you don’t have to water them so often. 🐇

[@valeriexoxo]

I’m a little confused. If it’s August and you’re starting some of them outdoors why is the heat mat needed?

[@clairelarson2068]

This is off this topic, but your comments in previous videos about the "thousand trees" you first planted when you moved there have me intensely curious to know varieties and spacing, as I also struggle with wind and alkaline, sandy soil. I suspect some varieties will not grow here (4100 ft, zone 4), but suggestions would give me a start. It's a wedge-shape, about 2 acres, so it will take many trees to make a difference (but my pocketbook hopes not a thousand).

[@bunnyguinness]

I planted at close centres around 2m, the idea being that they force each other upwards as in standard forestry planting. All are bare root and small when purchased around 1’ -2’ high, with no stake just rabbit proof guards. All were native mainly acer campestre, fraxinus excelsior and prunus avium. As you are zone 4 you are much colder than uk, maybe Crataegus crus galli and Scots pine? If you keep a circle 1m diameter free of weeds and grass and just have mulch there for first 3 years they will grow around 70% faster as they have less competition for water. Add a thick mulch to help keep water in too. Good luck, get them in ASAP and you’ll quickly reap the rewards🐇

[@clairelarson2068]

@@bunnyguinness Thank you! Especially about the spacing, as I'd not realized so close, but I do want that upward growth, so good to know.
