[@conroyburke4225]

What a beautiful space! Thank you again for such inspiring content.

[@Gardenninja]

You’re welcome Conroy. Happy to share my work and tips as far and wide as possible! 🥷🌿😉🐝🤘

No room here for a wildflower meadow Lee but I like what you have done there. A hybrid meadow incorporating trees and shrubs is brilliant

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks so much Christopher. I'm planting for the future, can't wait to see it develop! Lee 🥷🌿

[@Narnendil]

Looks great! Thanks for the meadow update!

[@Gardenninja]

No problem! 🥷🌿

Yet another super video Lee - great work and super presentation, I think you are talking to me, just me - 😂😂😂

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks Arthur. I try really hard to help immerse the viewer. Ive been told a few times now that my presenting styles very personal. So I’m pleased that comes across as personalised!!! More to come. Happy gardening. 🥷🌿🤘

[@ashleymccarthy6232]

So honestly beautiful well done you've created and are creating a paradise!

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks so much Ashley. I’m really pleased with it and glad the Ninja community are gaining advice and inspiration from it!! 🥷🌿🤘

Great video Lee! The wildflower meadow has come a long way and is looking wonderful.

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks so much Kim. It’s almost turning prairie at the moment. All good stuff and it literally hums with life 🥷🤘🌿🐝

[@rmedwards8312]

Your meadow is looking wonderful,top draw,some great plants in already,love achillea&the trees for that added drama👌 you can really see how it's developing,wicked walk through,brilliant👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks Roy! I’ve just invested in a drone. So hopefully after a days playing with it then I can up my visuals a bit! Once again it’s another thing on my list of things to learn and incorporate. So chuffed with the meadow and my yellow rattle seeds arrived as per your glowing review of their usefulness! So thanks! 🥷🌿🤘🐝

[@rmedwards8312]

@@Gardenninja its gonna look epic with a drone,can't wait to see the exploding atom garden from above too!

[@Gardenninja]

That’s the bit I’m most excited about. Filming it each month and piecing them together!! 🥷🌿🐶🤘😂

[@keithhooper6123]

Loving the videos.Doing similar here,in Somerset on friends twenty six acres property.

[@cyclinggoatfarm9152]

I’m so grateful to have found this. I have a hillside meadow that used to be horse pasture I want to do your exact style in. My husband has a mile long trail cut through it. I look forward to going through your last videos on this.

[@Gardenninja]

Hey Cycling Goat Farm. I’m glad you’ve found my video guides! Sounds like you’ve got a great space to create a wild flower meadow. Make sure you checkout my blog too www.gardenninja.co.uk for hundreds of free gardening guides. Lee 🥷🌿🤘

[@carolethurlow9550]

The meadow looks amazing. What a beautiful coloured orchid. 🐱 X

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks so much Carole! It’s really coming together plenty of natural surprises like that early purple orchid too! Let’s hope it propagates itself! 🥷🌿🐝

[@aileenjordan8151]

Hi Lee , the meadow looks fantastic. 👌 Will you be doing a video on sowing the yellow rattle?

[@Gardenninja]

Yes, as soon as I've sown it I will! Happy gardening. Lee 🥷🌿

[@donaldauguston9740]

Hi Lee: Thank you for the tour of your meadow. I enjoyed it a lot and hope you have a wonderful summer. DA

[@Gardenninja]

Glad you enjoyed it and hope your garden is bringing you joy! Lee 🥷🌿

[@Zeheroth69]

What a fantastic patch of bees,. butterflies and insect delict that has become Lee! it is looking absolutely great, good job! Just the looks alone of wildflower meadows are just great to see...so much happening there

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks so much! I’m really pleased with it and it’s full of wildlife and some hares have nested there too and there’s all sorts of moths in the evening. 🥷🌿🤘🥰

[@Zeheroth69]

@@Gardenninja That is amazing! Isnt it fantastic at night just to kick off the shoes, grab a cold one and Barry and enjoy your hard work and love for nature in your own garden?. We do that too, especially this year..lucky enough to have planted almost 150 species, red listed, native and most important AND able to pop in a nature pond revolving around oxygen/filter plants..we dont have a massive garden but for us its big haha, cant wait till next season this too will be bursting even more then now That said, that happened with alot of tips and help from you kind sir so i salute you. Thank you🐝🌞🌼🌿 dont ever stop loving nature

[@GardenDiscovery]

Looks wonderful. I seeded a part of my garden and it looked great until our typical drought in California- the gophers starving for any roots they can eat got to most of them. I only have a few cornflowers and poppies left. I did save some seed and threw some in different areas. I know I'll get some come up again. Now, how to get rid of those pesky gophers... Hey, its great watching you on Garden Rescue. You bring alot of energy and passion to the show.

[@Gardenninja]

Aww thanks so much Kelley. I love working on Garden Rescue and bringing some ninjas style! I’ve never dealt with gophers but I’m sure the annuals will self seeded if left to crisp up at the end of e flowering season. Keep going!! It will be worth it! 🥷🌿🤘 Lee

[@deanperry3276]

Inspirational as always. Great to see the progress.

[@Gardenninja]

Thanks Dean. Glad to help inspire people to take some more garden risks and let more wildlife in! Happy gardening. Lee 🥷🌿🤘

[@Schlei602]

OMG, how beautiful!

[@Gardenninja]

It’s been a lot of hard work to design but so worth it!! 🥷🌿🤘 Glad you’re enjoying it. Lee

[@Schlei602]

@@Gardenninja yes I do. It's worth the hard work. For nature, for you and for us.

[@paulmathieson4511]

Looking great any chance of a update this year

[@djjeny87]

The meadow is looking so beautiful, and your enthusiasm and passion for plants is infectious. Thanks Lee!

[@Gardenninja]

So nice of you! I'm glad my works appreciated! Happy gardening. Lee

[@mrknittle532]

I'm in Ohio, US, and chicory is not native to here, but pretty much naturalized and is EVERYWHERE. I've always liked it, and like Queen Anne's Lace, I let it grow and bloom.

[@Gardenninja]

Sounds wonderful Mr Knittle. It’s such a super easy plant to grow once established and drought tolerant! 🥷🌿🤘

[@gardenthinker3320]

When you mow your meadow, do you cut back the flowers? I’m a little confused here! This past summer I only planted wild flowers and let them grow. If I cut them back, would that hurt the plants from blooming

[@Gardenninja]

Hi Garden Thinker. Yes you do but after they have set seed if annual flowers. That way the seeds have been sown for next year. If they’re perennial then you cut them back mid to late Sept. Ie early autumn. They’ll come back without setting weed. Happy gardening! Lee 🥷🌿🤘

Its hard to watch lol
