those cuttings look great, I want to plant a lot of flowers once we buy our home, hoping that is soon and excited to set up my bird feeders in the new area also

[@paultsworld]

That is so exciting buying a home and setting up the garden. No doubt you’ll have a big variety of birds in the mountains.

[@margaretmichelsen766]

Good Morning Paul, Thank you for the update and a reminder for me to plan to attempt hardwood cuttings very soon. I will watch your hardwood cutting video again. I will definitely try my variegated weigela. I cannot believe how good your propagations look, they grew fast, faster than I would have expected. I have to try this. Oh My, companies are sending you products, now! Congratulations you YOU Tube influencer 😄 ( My garden update: I have purchased a fabulous camellia called Paradise Blush to plant in a new area. Weather: hammering frosts and sunny days ) PS. love your relaxing videos and tutorials and it is lovely chatting to you across the globe. 🌱

[@paultsworld]

Hello Margaret! You stand a very good chance with the variegated weigela. As it’s easy and you’ve probably got lots of pencil thickness stems - take a lot of cuttings and put the pots in different locations so they get different amounts of cold and rain - remember ‘belt and braces’! Yes, lots of offers from companies - dozens of them. Most not appropriate for gardeners - there was one which was offering me a back massager - I dismissed it out of hand but now I’m thinking perhaps, it’s a maybe - particularly after weeding! 😂 Lovely camellia - lot’s of ericaceous everything for it! It just wouldn’t be your garden without a ‘😱’ weather forecast 😆

[@margaretmichelsen766]

Hahaha back massager! Yes obviously you dismissed that too quickly, until you gave it some more thought.. definitely after a full day post-weeding or post-digging. 🤣 I will look forward to an amazing humorous promo/ad next video! 😆 Camellia in with home made compost added to soil, plus mycorrhizomal fungi. Since you like doom and gloom weather reports: MINUS 4 deg C this morning 😱😱😅🤣

[@paultsworld]

Always nice to use your own compost - good luck with the camellia. You certainly get plenty of ‘weather’ 🥶 🥵 🌧️ ☀️

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Paul . Wonderful video of plants from cutting and they grow well for you . Have anice day .

[@RoseMary-vs3io]

I'm so impressed with your hardwood cuttings, I must try this, thank you👌👍

[@paultsworld]

Thank you! It’s easy to do and no maintenance - just one or two successes makes it worthwhile. Good luck.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Beautiful Paul 🍃🌸🍃

[@paultsworld]

Thank you Jasmine 🌻

[@wendybartlett6717]

Wow, you did well there Paul succeeding with so much germination. Thanks for your honesty about the failings as it's part of gardening. Your Azaleas at the beginning are truly stunning. So many beautiful colours. My robin made a brief appearance at the patio door this week but he's disappeared again. It was as if he wanted to let me know that he's okay!

[@paultsworld]

I was pleased Wendy - the success rate is low on the first year’s but a good hand full of plants is brilliant. My Robin is the same - he’s generally not around now but does pop back a couple of times a day to say ‘hi’ and take a mealworm from my hand. I think he showed up once in this video.

[@patiatarim]

Thanks for all the info you provide on your videos. I’ve been learning a lot from you.

[@paultsworld]

I am very pleased and thank you for letting me know.

[@moniqueanders563]

Love all your videos as always and your beard looks great on you.

[@paultsworld]

Thank you so much Monique - that’s very nice of you 🌻

[@helenwilliamson7099]

I must try doing hardwood cuttings, never done it before. Enjoy ur garden ❤

[@paultsworld]

These last two years are the first time I’ve tried it Helen. Because it’s so little work I’ll do another set in late Autumn or late Winter. Enjoy our glorious weather. 🌸

[@jane3730]

Hi Paul, This is inspirational, why I have never tried this? you make it seem so easy. This spring I purchased all the plants you had taken cuttings from, plus more as I created a new mixed border. I will be definitely trying to propagate more this back end. Thanks for sharing. I like to watch all your videos the photography is brilliant. 🐞🌻🌱

[@paultsworld]

It does look good once the dead failures are thrown away and all the success left! I think it would be a good habit to do hardwood cuttings every year - just a few successes make it all worthwhile. Glad you like my videos Jane 👍🌻

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Bravo Paul! All the cuttings took beautifully and are off to a great start.

[@paultsworld]

Thank you AJ - It is surprising how quickly they all want to flower.

[@mariamojicasarmiento]

Good afternoon. Azaleas and Rhododendron are gorgeous 😍. Hard wood cutting, great free plants. As always, your yard is amazing 👏

[@paultsworld]

Thank you - yes, it is nice to see the azaleas flowering at the same time. 🌻

[@renatalimarzi]

Hello dear Paul! Your love of gardening and nature is always so pleasant to admire and enjoy! And you are definitely a great inspiration to so many people. And as always the results of your work and dedication are absolutely impressive. Your garden is truly a sight! A hug and happy Sunday, my friend. A huge like! Renata

Beautiful way to start my day. And thank you for showing pots that needed cleaning up.

[@paultsworld]

Christine, I can report that they are now looking pristine after their Winter scruffy look.

[@nicolatill5499]

Thank you Paul. Interesting seeing how the different growing mediums have worked.

[@paultsworld]

I’m pleased you found it interesting Nicola - I do like to learn from my own successes - and failures.

[@kurthartle5473]

Great effort, marvelous results and timely intervention for those you recognize need feeding intervention. Have you tried a simple top-dress of coffee grinds - especially good for acid loving species?

[@paultsworld]

Thanks Kurt, actually I haven’t tried coffee grinds - must say I hadn’t realised they were good for the ericaceous plants. I’ll see if the local coffee shops are still giving them away.

[@joannapocock6055]

Hiya Paul, Great to see your cuttings they look very healthy. Only one of mine took but I suppose one is better than none! I have been watching your videos but have been a bit lazy in commenting Sorry!

[@paultsworld]

Hi Joanna, you had a go with the cuttings and had success - one taking is success! Always lovely to hear from you but "as and when" is of course absolutely fine - this is a very laid back channel. 🌻

[@kneedeepinbluegrass3086]

Yay! I love watching your videos!

[@paultsworld]

So nice of you - thank you!

[@willowgrove631]

It’s great to see the results of these cuttings Paul - I’ve only tried it with buddleia so far & had good results. Do you think cuttings from an established Jasmine would work with the same method?

[@paultsworld]

Buddleia is a good one Lindsay. If you can get a pencil thickness stem of hardwood then there’s a chance and worth a go. Otherwise how about a softwood cutting in a few weeks. I’ll do a video on softwood cuttings so always worth a go with that method.

[@gardensenglishandbeauty]

Congratulations on your results! My "biological fertilisers" are old cow manure and blood fish and bone powder. I also use synthetic fertilisers for my roses which are extremely hungry.

[@paultsworld]

You can’t beat a bit of old cow manure! I also use blood, fish & bone - great stuff and easy to apply.

[@paulinecrispin121]

Hi Paul. I throw all my hardwood cutting out a week ago, as all I had were pots of dead sticks 😮😢. It's good to see yours doing so well. I will not give up, and I will try again 🙂.

[@paultsworld]

Sorry to hear that Pauline. I do think vermiculite is a great medium for cuttings as they won’t rot and it does encourage roots. However I left them too long without any nutrients. Some shrubs do ‘take’ better than others. We’ll do some Summer cuttings which have a higher success rate.

[@paulinecrispin121]

I have never used vermiculite. I will give it ago😊

[@paultsworld]

I'll be using vermiculite in a few weeks so I'll do a video - I have good success with it.

[@Anna-BoBanna]

Did Mr. Robin take the day off? I've got to do my late spring fertilizing this weekend, so this was good timing.

[@paultsworld]

Well spotted - the robin is still around but doesn’t appear as often now his chicks have fledged. I think he does appear in the video around the cuttings pots.

[@titiaswildlifecottagegarden]

Hi Paul, I remember that video where you took those hard wood cuttings. Nice to see the results. Last year I bought rooting powder and took cuttings of my lavender, flowering current and other plants. The flowering current sadly didn't make it in the end. Probably because I took the cuttings in februari. Next time I will do in October or November. From a local blackthorn, 1 out of 4 only rooted, 1 out of 2 hawthorn and 2 our of 3 elderberry. I have them all in a mix of compost and that white, fluffy stuff (don't know the name at the moment) Those water butts look lovely. In the new garden I don't have one yet, but next year I will invest in one. Best regards, Titia

[@paultsworld]

Hi Titia, yes - get a water butt, they are so useful and brilliant for the ericaceous plants. You did well with your cuttings successes - particularly with hardwood cuttings many don’t make it but as long as some do it’s a success and inspires the following year’s efforts. Are you going to try softwood cuttings this Summer of the hydrangeas? That’s fun and often many ‘take’

[@titiaswildlifecottagegarden]

@@paultsworld I'm not sure if I'm going to take cuttings from hydrangeas. I just put the hydrangea from my friend in the ground, it doesn't looks alive to be honest. I didn't realised I needed to water that tub quite often. But the foxgloves where doing fine. I will wait for later this year or next year's spring to see if it will do something. If not, then I want to buy a bright, pink coloured lace cap hydrangea as a replacement. Will be continued😁👍🏻

[@paultsworld]

@@titiaswildlifecottagegarden bright pink lacecap sounds perfect.

[@paleguy]

Hi Paul, great content as always. Could you please, please give an update on that gold cotinus. I'm contemplating introducing one to my garden, but I can't fimd much on them online. At least in video form. Best regards from Serbia.

[@paultsworld]

Hi, the gold cotinus is doing better and may flower this year. I should feed it to see if I can get it growing well. I have a purple one in the back garden that always does well with no intervention from me.

[@paleguy]

@@paultsworld tnx for the reply. I have a very small garden so I have limited choices but seeing it in yours made me make it one of the top priorities. I'd love it if you position yourself next to it next time you are sharing one of your delightful stories 😅

[@paultsworld]

The beauty of cotinus is that you can let it grow tall or prune it back - it doesn't mind

[@paleguy]

@@paultsworld Thank you a million for your time. Keep doing the amazing work. Each time I see that robin fallowing you around it warms my heart immensely.

[@paultsworld]

You're welcome - glad you enjoy the robin.

You've inspired me to try some hardwood cuttings this fall. I set up a couple of rain water holding tanks this spring. Only 2, but once again, you've given me something to strive for. What a great system. Thank you for being such an inspiration. 🌻🥀🪴

[@paultsworld]

So nice of you Colleen. That’s great you’ve got yourself a couple of water tanks - it feels good to collect rain and make good use of it. 🌸

[@sydneygardener540]

I very much enjoy English gardeners and their gardens. I subscribe to yours as well as others. Take it from somebody who is a horticulturalist (nursery 35 yrs). Specialist fertilisers are gimmicks. Buy the cheapest brand you can find at the time. So long as they are around. 5. 5.5. (Example 5.2.3……3.4.6 ect. ) The plants will,get all they need and require and you will save a lot of money. Sydney Australia. P.S ericaceae plants are acid loving plants. So don’t put that product on lime loving plants

[@paultsworld]

Thank you for subscribing and also for those really good tips - great to hear from a professional! - I always feel the best compost is my own - best and cheapest. lol
