Hi Niall, great videos. I’ve been following you for a while now and love the content. Just a suggestion-if you can display the names of the plants/seeds you mention in your videos, it’d be a great help for a lot of new gardeners like myself. Cheers 😊

[@niallgardens]

Noted! Thanks! I also include a full seed list in the description and those are listed in the order I discuss them. Hope the helps!

[@HavardStreAndresen]

Glad you included the bulbs☺

[@ainalorentzson9257]

I can strongly recommend Readly. It is my daily joy for years now. So many different categories and languages. And the latest newspapers handy in the mobile. Thanks for nice video.

[@niallgardens]

Couldn't agree more! I'm a big fan of digital magazines, especially with my work where it's not practical for me to cart multiple paper magazines around!

[@noellesweeney6739]

I’m in NY so this is my first time hearing about frittilaria so I’m trying it out hope it likes it here.

Greetings Niall, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 Beautiful picks for October. After Hurricane Ian 🌀 we are getting a taste of more temperate weather. 80's daytime/60's night. Happy Autumn My Friend 👩‍🌾👍

[@LizZorab]

Lovely video Niall. Yes to Readly, you know that I love it!

[@niallgardens]

Thanks Liz! We're Readly super-fans!

[@sharondower]

Hi Nial - love watching your channel and enjoying it this morning with my breakfast. I'm a florist and keen gardener and would be grateful if you could maybe do a follow-on seed growing video. I'm planning on starting a cutting garden and even though I can get seeds to germinate and plan on starting this month. I'm not sure what to do with them between now and planting time! Maybe a dumb question for those experienced gardeners, but I'm planning on seed sowing those plants you are recommending for autumn planting. But what do I do with them then??

[@niallgardens]

Hi Sharon! So glad that you're enjoying the channel and the videos. That's a really cool idea to do a follow-video... leave that with me and I'll have a think about to make that a reality. It might take a little planning and time, but I'm sure I can do something! In the meantime, if you'r win a similar climate to me, I'd be suggesting to get them germinated, then bring them on in somewhere sheltered like a greenhouse, polytunnel or cold frame. Then you can pop the plants out in the spring. Have a super weekend!

[@noraalvarado8178]

I'm in N.Y and I've had great success with winter sowing flowers in milk jugs. And alot of them bloom first year.

[@donnamullins2089]

Great information on what to sow now. Thanks so much. Also love the fragrant bulbs.

[@niallgardens]

You are so welcome!

[@geraldinekelly1301]

Fantastic as always Niall. I didn't know you could sow so many flower seeds now, especially sweet pea which I love!! I'll be sowing mine this week.Thanks Niall x

[@niallgardens]

Ah thank you Geraldine! I hope you're keeping well ❤️ Deffo get some sweet pea going this Autumn. And even if they don't work out for some reason, at least then you still have all of next spring to get some sown as well!

[@PRADIER1]

merci Niall pour tous ces conseils !

[@niallgardens]

Merci Roger! Thanks for the lovely message and for your support!

[@Lifegrowsonandon]

Phacelia is the absolute best, smells amazing and the bees will only go for that!

Oh I can't wait! That colour and scent!

My wife and I harvested our Potatoes and Carrots yesterday…Very pleased and have 2 videos to “Show Off” our bounty…lol

[@hobbitulelf]

I was just looking for such a video, what to sow in autumn, so thank you!

[@niallgardens]

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@andrelommerse]

Heya it’s funny how different places have different names for plants 🌱 What you call Beat’s britches in Australia we call it Ouster plant.

[@niallgardens]

When it comes to common names there's so much diversity isn't there?! I love that!

[@theogrove9319]

Love the video the only slight issue with sowing sweet peas is that they can get leggy I usually sow in Nov but if I'm impatient Oct too.

[@niallgardens]

I think the big thing to make sure to pinch them out and give them every tiny bit of available light

[@thebassoonman2020]

Can you do a whole video on how to grow frittilatia? I love them sooooooo much, but I have so much trouble growing them! 😭

[@niallgardens]

I'll have a think and see what I can do for you! 😃

[@hazelmanship7516]

Hi Niall thanks for this video, covids struck our house,so my gardening on hold for a week or so. The bulbs will be late in the ground, daffs crocus, aliums and tulips hope it won't hurt and they'll be OK for spring ,cheers see you next time 😀 🌼🏵💮⚘

[@niallgardens]

Oh no, sorry to hear that you're not well. Hope you get better soon and your family too if they're unwell. Late bulbs will always be A-OK and will be just fine. In fact, the tulips will thank you for it because it'll help them avoid tulip fire virus!

[@hazelmanship7516]

@@niallgardens thanks Niall the hubby's not great but we'll get there, I'll get them planted soon as I can do take care look forward to your next video 😀

[@Lifegrowsonandon]

My favourite to sow now is Echinops Ritro 🥰

[@niallgardens]

I adore Echinops! We have several large clumps of them here

[@SCCL1000]

[@LorraineG123]

Thank you Niall, great to see you,I always wondered what the flower bears bridges was, I am remodelling our back garden and that flower will suit,love the snakes head never saw that before, and the tall purple one, need height with some. Oh must get some more hyacinths, thanks for a reminder.May I say, the parts of the garden you have let us peek at, are so beautiful, nice choice of filming. Thankyou for taking the time, in your ever busy life. Are they crabapples, the yellow ones on the tree at the end,if so you should use for jelly. Fantastic recommendations,thanks Niall. Omitted to say, if I bought online,really would be a super source,great idea.

[@niallgardens]

Hi Lorraine! Yeah Acanthus are superb plants and like yourself, I'd seen the plant lots but wasn't sure what it was until a few years ago. I'm a huge fan of the snakeshead fritillaries - I'd happily fill the entire garden with them and irises. Good spot on the crabapples! The tree is Golden Hornet (or so we think) and it's looking particularly great this year. Mum made us crabapple jelly a couple of years back form them.... I'll have to get her on the case again this year!

[@LorraineG123]

@@niallgardens Niall you are like a flower encyclopidia, thankyou, screenshoting your reply so I can enquire in our co op if they have them. Must get more foxglove colours too. I harvested some crabapples from a friend, going to attempt to make it. Oh I bet your mum's is devine. Thanks Niall, enjoy the autumnal day, just in from my coldtober sea swim,just 30 days to go.

[@deniseinthegarden]

Saved seed from my sweet peas and sowed it a couple of weeks ago in my greenhouse and I they are poking their heads above the compost already. Also sowed saved Delphinium seeds today 😂

[@niallgardens]

Oh super! Lovely flowers next year in that case!!

[@McNeep]

Fab video!! Think I must go to the garden Center now 😂

[@niallgardens]

I know that feeling! I'm such a sucker for wanting to grow something new!

[@lisaskilton3746]

yhanks for a good video again Naill! still pondering where to plant sweetpeas and all my alliums and tempted to grow around edge of poly tunnel for that pop of colour but in amongst the wood chippings we have put there. hoping that it will be protected from the dam rabbits eating them perhaps which they are currently doing with my pansies 😢😢

[@niallgardens]

Thanks Lisa! Happy Sunday to you! I think that sounds like a cool idea to plant around the edge of the polytunnel, especially because they do tend to look a bit stark. Rabbits on the other hand, I'm not sure about!

[@donaldauguston9740]

Hi Niall: This was yet another fabulous video. Thank you! I would request that you do more videos about what to do with various perennials at the end of autumn. Do you trim them down or leave them through winter? I personally like getting rid of things now because there are so many things coming-up through the soil in the spring and I don't want to crush them. What say you? Thank you again, DA

[@niallgardens]

Hi Donald! Thanks for such a kind comment. I tend to err on the side of keeping the skeletons of the plants - I love their bleached forms, but that's a super idea for a video!! I'll see if I can make that for this autumn!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Wonderful suggestions 🥰 I love the Acanthus mine is so pretty at the back of my border 💕

[@niallgardens]

Thanks Jasmine! Acanthus is an epic plant isn't it!

[@thombaz]

WHat you do with the trays? Just leave them out in the frost?

[@niallgardens]

When it comes to the seed trays, I'd recommend keeping them somewhere sheltered and protected like a coldframe, greenhouse, polytunnel, etc...

[@thombaz]

@@niallgardens Thanks will, give it a try this year.

[@paddyogrady3258]

Hi Niall I took your advice and sowed cornflower and sweetpeas seeds last month into small pots in the polytunnel and they are growing really well. My question is should I leave them where they are until spring or plant them outside in their final growing position.

[@niallgardens]

Great to hear! You technically can leave them out during the winter, but my suggestion would be to keep them under cover, even if it's just a cold frame. Not sure where you're based, but with storms winds and heavy rain, things can get damaged so easily, even without the frost. Hope this helps!

[@hannahbest2274]

Great video thanks, beware Acanthus can be a bit invasive and a bit of a garden thug. Although it is beautiful.

[@niallgardens]

Good to know! Thanks for mentioning that because it'll be useful for other people too 👍

[@LoanNguyen-sb6pj]

I see in the back ground you have plants like Apparagus how do you keep them in the winter.

[@niallgardens]

Oh yeah those are indeed asparagus. I let them grow until they really yellow off then cut them back, mulch them well, and wait for them to come back the next spring. That's really all there is to it!

[@shahdalnashed7783]

It would be So useful as I get a great dea from your gardening channel ( also Huw's, and Liz's and others too). Best wishes for the autumn, my favourite season.🍁🍂

[@ronanogrady7298]

hi Niall, where did you get the strong,solid type modular trays,the ones for seedlings etc, thanks

[@niallgardens]

Oh! The module trays that I have in this video are actually just little cheapy ones from the local DIY store! I think I must be holding them in a way that makes them seem stronger! If you want something really sturdy, how about this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2S3oIWrg91oZrc

Even some kind of protection will help, like a small cold frame
