i am looking to make a ricin farm.. got many enemies.

So stoked that I chose these little guys! I’m always so scared to grow flowers because I have a shady yard but these seem to be perfect! And the for me too it’s the funnest to propagate! Do you think it will life through winter if I bring a cutting indoors for winter and start new every spring? The annual and perennial thing always confuses me because of climate zones. Thanks for the wonderful info! 🙏

I live in the U.S. in zone 6 and I am reading that the bulbs need dug up every year or they will die in the winter. Are you telling me that with a bit of mulch I can leave these bulbs in the ground and they will not die during the winter cold?

At what point does it start rounding so other ferns can sprout?

Beutyful aeonium arboreum 👌

I know you're doing business but £10 for a little colocasia is outrageous

Show i cut the flower off if the flower is dieing?

I Went on a bromeliad splurge after seing your videos, and for those who are interested here is a list of the bromeliads that were mostly unscathed when overwintered in an unheated greenhouse in South London this past winter. Temperatures went down to -3 on several occasions, but were always above freezing in the day: Bilbergia nutans, Bilbergia x windii, Aechmea recurvata "Paraguay", and under the bench but unfleeced, Neoregelia "Donger", taking a bit of damage to a very young leaf, growing away strongly now, Neoregelia "Fireball", loss of the rosette level with the compost which may have got wet, the other rosette unscathed. Vriesea lubbersii, damage to youngest leaves at the heart of rosette, but central bud still ok, Aechmea gamosepala Aechmea cylindrata. Plants were kept mostly dry. All the plants started healthy growth in the spring.

my plant leaves are turning yellow and falling off. I've read it can be too much water or not enough water. Any way to figure this out? The plant was in a pot I thought might have been too small so I transplanted it into a bigger pot and added granular organic fertilizer in the dirt. Not quite sure what else to do.

How many metres is the garden .it's beautiful

Beutyful plant 😊join you please join me sir

Although I loathe every shade of purple, I think in this garden it looks absolutely fabulous! One think I would not do is pressure wash any kind of concrete slab/tiles. In my opinion aged concrete looks infinitely better than “brand new” (or newly washed) concrete. Other than that, I think your garden is just beautiful!❤

Another beautiful garden!

Absolutely stunning garden and divisions of sitting space.

How do I remove spent flowers? Do I just remove the white flower, or do I also remove the green part from which the flower grows?

I am so glad for this channel. I actually moved to the Ecuadorian Andes and cannot find a lot of books or gardening channels for designing gardens here. I recognize so many of the plants you have are available right in my backyard, literally. You might be surprised to find many English style gardens here with the plants you'd find in the UK. I guess like many places, people want the exotic plants for their gardens. In this case, lavender and rosemary, English roses and primroses. Sub tropical gardens in the Andes is not as popular as you might think, even though many of the plants are indigenous to the country I live in. Actually finding written resources on on garden design here does not exist. For example how big does an Elderberry grow in the Andes? There is a lot of information for Elderberry trees on the internet and they are considered a shrub, at a maximum of around 3m but not any for Andes gardening (FYI an Elderberry tree grow to be around 9m here). And I've yet come across professional landscapers. So your channel is incredibly important to me. Thank you

Great advice!

Hi there, lovely garden. I was just wondering, I have one of those water basin's too but mine has gone rusty orange. Have you treated yours with something? Or is it just new? Thanks

Ah this is the EXACT aesthetic I'm going for in our garden. This is so inspiring. Just trying to figure out where to start and how to get the plants/seeds. I wish our ground wasn't such hard clay in our area. It makes it really hard to dig and for roots to break through.

Thank you this video. I do have a few leggy aeoniums

can you grow these plants in big pots?

Voice and accent is not clear to understand as what he explains.

It’s all looking fantastic & inspiring. Your wife’s roses really give it some extra flare. I love how cottage garden plants can be fitting in a tropical garden. All you need is a bit of creativity and flare. It’s wonderful. I must join the seed club too, it sounds like something me and my partner would enjoy.

I luv the fence colors

looks better than my yard and i live in Florida , Great job. Dark colors are great for the outside because once the sun is out it lightens up a bit and shifts hue throughout the day i used a dark Teal color for the shed. those fuchsias and cigar plants or cupheas the orange ones should do really good they love cool weather. I lose all my fuchsias come March after it gets into the 80s and high humidity. that Mexican cigar may do great in a planter as well it gets 3ft by 3ft does well down to about low 40s if you want it as a stand alone and don't want to lose it come winter. my issue here is the high humidity come summer and the high 90s

How do I get the seeds from my Ferocactus stainesii var. pilosus

Thks. Hope I can find nearby.

Looks beautiful!!!

Relaxing garden, with a good landscape

Fantastic, just the advice I was after before planning my own garden stream!

Then you have to move out 😂

So to put this at windowshill but not in direct sunlight? Is that correct??

Im not sure if my cacti seeds are growing, ive put them into cactus soil and water them abt once a week, but its been abt a month and theyre not growing got any tips?

Thanks for the vid. Took away some great ideas!

The flowers are so tiny and cute. If you bring it indoors make sure there are no bugs or bug eggs on the plant. Moths and spiders esp love it. Also the crows in my area like to try and steal it for bedding material.

The paint color is similar to the aubergine/eggplant color we used for doors and trim. Really happy with it. You are a wise man to collaborate with your wife on plant choices. I appreciate that you work within your budget as it allows for creativity. Thanks for a fab tour!

Lovely Plants...💚💚💚

Craig please tell me the name of a grass broad leaf plant it has ridges in the leaf you have spoken about it many times hope you can help me.? 😘

Matching colours was a great choice, calmer. Perhaps I'll paint my fence dark next year as well :) Probably a very dark green

I would never choose that colour, but WOW! It really does look fab :) It really brings out the green. Loving the patio , I am so glad you listened to your wife, the roses really look lovely .

I was in B&Q the other day and walked past the Damson paint, I thought 'oh hi Craig' haha. How well do your raised beds drain? I assume you amended the clay a lot. I think you're absolutely right about having robust plants that thrive in UK weather - I've planted a hybrid tea rose called Piccadilly and it's a very tropical swirl of bright orange and yellow. Fits in great.

Couple of points Craig. As a sparky it worries me that you’ve mentioned the plug isn’t waterproof, but you’re running with 2 cables still coiled up. This is dangerous and is a fire risk as the cables act like a coil and heat up. The lid issue isn’t that bad. The weight of the lights cause it when you open a lid. I just put my finger and thumb between the lids and prise them back apart again. Simple 👍

Really love that Mexican cigar plant Craig. First time I’ve seen them. Thanks for your video and the ideas.

Looks amazing, it will fill out so much and look so lush. I moved from England to Australia some years ago which has allowed me to grow so much more especially tropical plants and fruits. Brugmansia is my favourite the smell on an evening is incredible. Happy gardening 😄

Are you going to be making a video about what really happened to the snail after your video ended? Where is the snail now? Do snails fly well? Does your neighbour have an extra snail? All these questions are eating me up.

I like the color! Garden looks beautiful

Well that was interesting about the Brugsmansias

Justicia carnea is a medicinal plant used in Nigeria to treat respiratory tract issues and also has blood-boosting properties. So lovely to see it growing in your garden as an ornamental plant.

Hi Craig 👋 I LOVE that paint color! The tropical garden looks wonderful! Thank you for another great video.
