Such an AMAZING garden! Thank you for listing the names on the screen.

[@perennial-garden]

You are so welcome! Thank YOU for watching 💚

[@erikm8372]

I’ll admit, and not to make anyone jealous-I live in San Diego, California, five minutes from the Pacific Ocean, in zone 10b (bordering a little on 11a-the zones have changed recently, I read, with global warming). A location where you’d think that I’d be outside constantly. Indeed, I am always doing SOMETHING each day, but I have so much to do and I think we lose inspiration or energy when the weather is so predictable! Today it is 80 °F or 26 °C basically, with no clouds and a breeze.. and I’m inside on the iPad😂 That’s why it’s so motivating for me to see gardeners in Europe, or in temperate/freezing zones below the one I live in-because you guys have such a shorter timeframe in which to grow. So you must pack in as much color and life as possible, and the effect is outstanding! The colors in your garden are phenomenal. I try to do something similar, albeit with a different plant selection, I call it "California cottage garden" style, or California beach bungalow garden. Instead of certain perennials or annuals, we can mix it up with structural succulents, bromeliads, aroids, different orchids (Epidendrum, Cymbidium), and just a large palette.

[@perennial-garden]

Love that idea of California Cottage Garden -- it sounds very nice! And you're right... we have a really short growing season, so we have to pack in as much as we can -- and enjoy it for as long as we can. Luckily, we have very long summer days.... so we can stay outside until around 23:00. That also means that we're inside by 15:00 in the winter. Oh well -- a small price to pay for daylight in the summer. And for what it's worth -- we're glad you're on the ipad watching us at least! haha. Thanks for reaching out!

[@PlasBachGarden]

I for one would like to see a video of your Californial Cottage Style garden!

Your garden is looking so nice with all the colours and your hard work definitely shows as beautiful gardens don't just happen and greenhouses don't empty themselves! Thanks for the tour.

[@perennial-garden]

Fredericia is a very cute place to live - and we love having the ocean so close. And you’re right… greenhouses do not empty themselves 🤩 But we’re glad it is nonetheless. Especially as seed collecting has already begun.

[@suzannebramble6564]

As always, thank you for the video and as always too, I LOVE your beautiful garden! I grew Salvia Viridis after seeing it in your garden and have just planted out some very small seedlings - fingers crossed for success. Thank you for the tip about the alliums - I will be doing that! Take care

I'll be trying the trick with the allium. Thank you. Your garden is looking so lovely. I love the variety. Best wishes for sunshine and rain.

Thank you! And we’re glad you can use the allium idea 🥰. It helps with the wind we’ve been having here.

[@elanacrane7820]

Your garden is SO inspiring. I just found your channel about a month ago and am completely in awe of the beauty you’ve created. I fell in love with the salvia verticillata purple rain that you showed in the cemetery garden (and in today’s video). I tracked down seeds for it but then was surprisingly also able to find one at my local nursery. Also got seeds for Heliopsis burning hearts and will get that started soon. Thank you for sharing your garden.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you for being here with us! Super great that you were able to find the plant -- you'll love it in your garden. We just cut ours back for a second flowering, too. And the Burning Hearts is a favorite! And it gives that late summer color that we all love so much :)

[@daayakutty]

so beautifulll 😍

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks so much for watching 🥰

[@MultimediaIreland]

I cut the alliums heads as soon as they finish flowering, then stick them into pots in my container garden. I learned the hard way of leaving them self seed in position. The new alliums seedlings will take years to grow before flowering, the original alliums lose strength and don't flower strongly. I'd keep new seedlings away from the original. Amazing garden you have, very jealous of your paths.

[@perennial-garden]

Great with all of your allium work! And thank you for the compliment on our paths :) We took up all the grass and put in paths last year, making the garden way more useful for us :)

[@user-iq7dl7he6r]

Thank you both so much for filming and sharing……for all your hard work and bringing me so much inspiration and joy. It’s late here, yet here I am having been riveted to this episode. Best flower garden I have ever seen. Magnificent!

That is so kind of you! WOW. It's comments like this that keep us happy to share our little garden. And we know what you mean about small gardens -- we have a rule that if we plant something new, something else has to go. ALTHO... this is just my rule. Lars doesn't really follow it so well. hahaha! We have another rule that everything will find a space. So... not sure how great either of these rules work together ;)

Firstly, congrats on your (finally) EMPTY greenhouse yay! 🌱 lol ... Moreover ... 2:58 ~ The Heliopsis was the FIRST that caught my attention right away as soon as the video started and thankfully you guys talked about HER! I have been wanting to have this plant in our perennial garden but our nursery so far has yet to carry them. The cultivar that you have "Burning Hearts" is really stunning🌻 16:46 and 18:29 ~ The Galliardia, the blanket flowers !!! Are they not gorgeous? We have these two cultivars ("Arizona Sun" and the deep red) in our garden as well, and every morning I love looking at them while waiting for coffee to brew, such hypnothizing flowers. You are correct, gaillardia would flower all season long until winter. For mine, I cut them really hard after flowering and they come back strong in early Spring 🏵 2:52 ~ Monarda the bee balm, the taller cultivar is such a beauty! I'm envy you guys because I am too afraid to have these in our garden because they are so prone of powdery mildew disease in my area. I am yet to find our local nurseries that carry the resistance ones 🙏 Anyway, great video! Thanks so much for sharing this update - Your plants, their smart arrangements & their flowers feed my 2024 mid-summer soul 💚💚💚

[@perennial-garden]

I walk out and look at our blanket flowers, too -- really are my absolute favorites! And I do hope your nursery carries the Burning Heart... they make such a difference in a sea of green foliage :) And in the meantime, we'll grow bee balm for you then! The bees won't mind at all! haha

Your garden is looking fabulous. I am in Scotland in zone 8a but due to so much rain and wind some plants are slow to flower. Some things such as Montreal are taller than I have ever seen them I also have lots of verbena Bampton. I bought one on sale a few years ago and now have at least 20 full size plants.

[@perennial-garden]

We've had that rain and wind, too! What's up with the summer this year? We are blessed to have our garden 'boxed' in -- so that does help with the winds off the coast. And it's Bampton the best? We were at a garden market the other week and overheard another gardener (she was selling plants) tell someone that it will not self seed. Yikes -- she'll be in for a surprise ;)

[@michelleholmes7582]

You two are my favorite to watch! Your gardens are always so beautiful, and inspiring. Lupine is one of my most favorite, but I have struggled to grow it (I’m in Zone 7b). I think it may be that the soil here in NC is clay. I’m still learning to grow in this clay soil, as I’m from Ohio, where the soil was not clay. My monarda is a favorite of mine and the bees :) also the Liatris.

[@perennial-garden]

Monarda and Liatris! We ADORE those too.. and lupines. But yeah... they might not do super well in the clay. Hopefully you can amend it and in a few years get the plants you want again :)

[@nickiramsay2421]

Thank you both for the tour. I fell in love with your Salvia Viridis last year and managed to find some seeds. Mine are flowering now as well but are nowhere near as tall as yours (the weather hasn’t exactly been kind in the UK this season) but hopefully as they establish and reseed I will get a good display. The common English name for Coreopsis is Tickseed, not a particularly attractive name considering how pretty the flowers are 😊

Також побачила у хлопців в тому році сальвію, тай купила насіння, вона в нас має назву "Three color". Дуже гарна виросла висока, пишна, чудова 😍 хоча засуха страшенна, але їй байдуже, на українських чорноземах її дуже сподобалось 🩵💛😉

@nickiramsay2421 Tickseed isn't as pretty sounding as 'beauty's eye' -- but oh well :) In Danish the Malva sylvestris (common mallow in English) is called 'kat cheese' -- so, I guess we get some good and some crazy names in both languages ;)

[@nickiramsay2421]

First-time viewer and love your garden. I wanted to know how the rocks stay in place and was sand used? They look beautiful.

[@perennial-garden]

Glad you’re here! Our stones are set with sand - just normal sand for pavers, etc.

[@mmcelroy8084]

Your garden is my inspiration. I grew so many things from seed this year. This is the first year I haven't mulched heavily and I have so many volunteers. How do you mulch without suppressing volunteers? I need to ask all my questions before your channel explodes and you don't have time to respond to everyone. Lol.

[@perennial-garden]

We’ll always have time to reply 🥰🥰 We don’t much tho - we plant so closely together that it’s just easier not to. And if something self seeds that we don’t want, we just move it out, put it in a pot, and give it away 😀

[@marky3131]

Very nice tour. Really well curated garden. If practical it would be interesting to know which plants are native to your country.

[@perennial-garden]

Most of these are native to Denmark. Only the lupines are for sure not -- they're actually on the invasive list, that's why I collect the seeds before they self seed. (Altho even gardening centers sell them here). We should do a full list of native plants one day -- I'll have Lars get on that!

[@kristinregine4798]

you two are too sweet. and your garden is stunning.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much! And thank you for watching :)

[@kotsifou]

Just beautiful, you guys, just beautiful!!! I apologize in advance if you have already mentioned this and I've missed it but how do you water your garden? Drip? Hose? Rain and the good God's graces? 😅

[@perennial-garden]

Just the good Lord's love and RAIN. hahaha Honestly tho... that's what we do. We collect rain water for dry spells and for the pots. When that runs out, we go with a water hose. But this summer... the rain is constant, so we're both blessed and slightly annoyed (but trust God's plan :) )

[@leneb1912]

I love the allium tip. Are those Ambassador alliums? Gorgeous gardens. ❤❤❤

[@perennial-garden]

They are 'Purple Sensation' ... super pretty!

[@VivSimmons]

How clever that tip with allium seed heads. What is that Lupin, the orangey one? Is it Terracotta? I have been trying to buy seeds of it. Also what a beautiful place to live. Thank you for the views of your lovely village. That pink California poppy is gorgeous. So much to be proud of in your dreamy garden.

[@perennial-garden]

That is a Lupinus 'Salmon Star' -- it's INCREDIBLE right?! We fell in love with it when we saw it once in Claus Dalby's garden. And thank you for appreciating our little village here -- we think it's a really nice place to live :)

[@joanp105]

I enjoy watching both of you show your garden. I notice that you have a Macrophyllas Hydrangea next to a Buddleia. In my zone 5 b garden, the Hyd is in a morning sun area, while the Buddleia is in a full sun and dry area. I am surprised that yours are planted in the same light, sun, and I assume, soil conditions. I have areas of more acid and water retentive soil, and areas of drier and “leaner” soils for the Buddleias, Sedums, Echinaceas, Lychnis, Eryngiums, Achilleas etc. is your entire garden getting equal hours of sun and is the soil in each bed the same re acidity, nutrients, and moisture retentiveness? Though we are in totally different growing zones, there is always something to “ take away” from these calming videos. 👍

[@perennial-garden]

Great question -- and something we should talk about in a future video! But yes... most of our garden gets equal everything. The dahlias do get a little less sun only because they are kinda blocked by the big tree and the ivy fence... we wish they could get more sun! Otherwise, all of the soil is the same for everything. We have kept most of our hydrangeas (in the back corner) together... but only because we think it's pretty. The whole garden gets fertilized once a year with organic chicken manure -- and we layer compost (from our compost bin) over the ground in early spring. Hope that helps! All of our plants get the same treatment and hope for the best -- it's a very equal opportunity garden over here ;) haha

[@murielpasini534]

So much colour in your garden! Beautiful indeed. Would you be able to talk about pests like slugs and snails? I'm in England (South-East) and they are devouring everything, ignoring the pellets....many thanks!

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you for watching! And yes... we've had slugs really bad this year, too. Fortunately we started early in the season picking them up -- so we haven't had them like some friends have. We also go out every evening and morning to collect more. It's been a constant battle this year. What kind of pellets do you use? There's one here that uses 'ferric phosphate' as the main ingredient. It always sells out at the stores, too -- maybe that's one to look for?

[@murielpasini534]

@perennial-garden thank you for your suggestions, much appreciated 👍

[@perennial-garden]

@@murielpasini534any time! 😊

[@1tuinman]

It's looking great guys ! One question, do you have loam, clay or sandy soil?

[@perennial-garden]

Thanks so much for watching! Our soil is loamy. We add a layer of compost (that we've made in our compost bin) every spring and we fertilize once a year with organic chicken manure.

How do you keep all your flowers so healthy, all their leaves look great. None are drying or yellowing ! Especially the phlox. Am having a difficult time with them. They dry up from the bottom and dry out.

[@perennial-garden]

We've been blessed with A LOT of rain -- that's helped our garden so much this season. Are you getting a lot of water where you are?

[@moniquemcgeachy1206]

@@perennial-garden so so, it has been very hot and muggy !

[@Lacoux]

I noticed you both don't use mulch. Is it your preference not to mulch so that plant self sow more often?

[@perennial-garden]

We plant really closely together and just never have mulched. Helping our self seeders is certainly a benefit of it tho!
