I watched Frances’ first video and went to work creating my own border. I live in Zone 9 in Florida. I walk in the garden at least five times a day, starting at 5:45am through my bedtime. I do not struggle with pruning any more. In a short time, I learned that the flowers would flush back three-fold. My first purchase was Verbascum. I purchased three plants and one, to my absolute delight, bloomed this year. Also, at her suggestion, I purchased Bee Balm. I have never planted from seeds but tried it. Now the garden is full of sunflowers and zinnias. I am struggling with foxglove and lupine; on my third attempt. One of these times, they will flower. When my neighbors pruned their Crepe Myrtle in early spring, I gathered the branches and use them as stakes. We, also have lots of willow in our area. I use the larger pieces for stakes as well. We have many butterflies and bees. Please convey to Frances the joy she and her garden have brought to me, from so far away. I look forward to her fall tour and thoughts on putting the border to bed for the winter. A faithful viewer, Lisella

I loved reading this report on your garden life. Your plants are obviously enjoying your care and love. Funnily enough I don’t have much luck with lupins. Have had a couple I grew from seed last year,flower well this year, but this is an extra bonus for our garden. Foxgloves have definitely taken up residence now and I like the height they bring. They love the shady damp areas of the garden. I wish we could grow Crepe Myrtle here as I’ve always admired them when visiting gardens abroad. Can’t have everything I suppose! Thanks for your very kind comments. Frances

Thank you, Alexandra for uploading this update! I just came in from working in our vegetable garden and found this as a lovely surprise. During the quarantine, my wife, two kids, and I built a small double circular patio out of left-over bricks just big enough for a firepit with chairs in one circle and a table and chairs in the other one. For Father’s Day last year, I was surprised with a small pond dug for me and made out of an old tractor tire. I did not know what to plant around this patio, but when I saw your “Wow Border” video, I knew that was what I wanted to try. My wife liked the idea of planting where no weeds can grow in. I did not know how to start a wow border, so I did it this way: I cleared 6 small ovals (about 2 feet by 1 foot) of grass/weeds and added a bought top-soil. I moved a German iris, a Dutch iris, a chrysanthemum, a rose campion, and a spiderwort into each oval. Then, I planted a mixture of zinnias and cosmos in each oval. I’ve ordered seeds, and I bought a small PVC pipe/plastic cover greenhouse that I have started to propagate for next year with minor success on foxglove, Russell lupines, and coneflowers. I’ve added more flowers around these ovals and hope to gradually spread them out until they meet each other (we already had some flowering shrubs planted). Right now, it’s just a “Meh!” border, but hopefully, it will be a wow border in a few years. (I remember Frances saying that one of the things it took was time.) I live in Alabama, USA, zone 7b. Thank you three - Alexandra, Frances, and Paul - so, so much for this wonderful inspiration!

There's aways something of value to take away from each episode of 'The Middle Sized Garden' because the Gardeners are all hands on people with experience in the real life practicalities of gardening who willingly share their mistakes and successes. Gardening never becomes boring because there are always new things to see and ideas to explore and an endless diversity of interesting people to meet. Mr and Mrs Moskavit, Paul and Francis share the same feelings that I have towards tearing ourselves away from garden+home: we couldn't bear it. The idea of leaving is out of the question. A Summer Vacation isn't for me I'd rather be home in and out of the garden too. It's much more enjoyable and engaging and relaxing than traveling. If I were away I might miss a nice event or, an unusual happening that's going on at home perhaps in a corner or somewhere inabout the Garden.

Hedgehogs don't actually eat many slugs, also slugs often carry harmful parasite eggs that infect hedgehogs. I have several hedgehogs visiting the garden, sometimes overwintering in a house. Sadly I still have an ongoing battle with slugs every year. I save all my egg shells, grind them up quite fine, and sprinkle thickly around emerging dahlias. That seems to work. Unfortunately things like salads and peas have to be fenced and netted away from wildlife and liberally slug-pelleted!

Also time to think. Want it to be right and will see what comes through the winter. Big changes most likely. Frances

It's fun and easy, and it can be done while weeding to add something new, or waiting on the sidelines, for a place to come available. It's also a quick way to spruce it up for guests. But, like she says, gardening is a hobby. You do it becasue you get something out of the process. It's like one of those people you just adore, so you put up with their habits and idiosyncrasies.

I'd love to hear about best tall/structural plants that work well in a dense border and if they must be cut back to manage their size.

That's a very good idea.

Beautiful garden and great information! I’m in the US and so jealous that you have hedgehogs, as magical as unicorns to me. Just curious as to what the large plant in the back border against the brick with palmate leaves is? Thanks for the beautiful video.

Hello Rebecca. The plant is Tetrapanax Rex. An amazing plant. We first saw it at Great Dixter. It’s nickname is ‘T Rex’. Thank you for your lovely comments. Frances
