John is not only a fantastic gardener, he also is very hilarious…..

@sydneygardener540 Год назад

What a wonderful energetic man. If John was born today his mother would be frantic and he would be on drugs for ADHD and we would be missing such a wonderful unique human being, that certainly lights up my day

I don’t feel like I’m watching a video. I feel as though I stopped over to say hello to a friend! I’ll leave feeling good about my garden skills because I do exactly what he does. If it doesn’t look good, I’ll move it.

Love watching you ‘rectify your mistakes’ John. Gives me confidence to have a go, though maybe not with a pick axe…such inspirational videos, have learnt more from watching you (as a newbie gardener) than anyone else. Thank you. (Although I am still trying to like phormiums!!)

Gives me an aesthetic meltdown when he cannot decide where to re plant as his first choice is usually spot on.!

@marilynmourdock3688 Год назад

I am an American and my maiden name was O'Brien. Maybe it's my Irish roots, but I love gardening! I would give just about anything to grow blue meconopsis! I saw it once at the Chelsea Flower Show but my hot Midwestern summers would prevent me from even trying. Good luck with yours!

Potentilla’s are great , very long flowering period . Don’t get too big and work well with herbaceous plants . Cheers John , your gardens looking fantastic .

Looking forward for the next video and you always make my day. Just a little brighter. Love your garden.

@finnmacool9935 Год назад

"Should it go here or there there" I'm a ten year professional gardener and that question remains the most occult and maybe random of all

@ransomcoates546 Год назад

It’s very interesting to me that John never bothers to break up the roots in a pot bound plant. Every book tells you to do it, but John’s garden seems like evidence that it’s not necessary. And it’s a pain to do.

@laurenb6451 Год назад

That’s because no sane plant is going to defy John Lord by sulking when planted without scoring the root ball.

@gracepeterson7483 Год назад

Ooh a new video from my favorite garden guy! Thanks for sharing your mid-August chores. I always learn so much. I bought a new Potentilla a few weeks ago. It's supposed to have dark pink flowers. Potentilla fruticosa Bella Bellissima™My thinking is that they're making a comeback because they're drought tolerant and we can always use more plants that don't require a ton of water.

@melodymulhall7860 Год назад

That blue t-shirt looks good on you John. A good one to garden in. We are in a drought in Wisconsin good to hear the thunder and rain coming. Lucky.

@laurenb6451 Год назад

Yes you are right. I worked in a school where many people would walk purposefully in the halls, clutching a bunch of papers. It took me a while to realize they were walking in circles. 😹

@SpruceDodger Год назад

Blue flowers are my favorite! Thanks for the recommendations, your garden is outstanding!

Lovely garden....

@persephonespomegranate Год назад

Absolutely adore my sky blue Delphinium- I think it’s the millennium series if memory serves. And my Boom Chocolatta and good old standard Rozanne varieties of geranium. But my absolute favourite blue perennial is Gold ‘n Sapphires Lithodora. Took almost 3 years to really take off and spread so be patient but it looks marvellous now. Have it edging the front of a border with catmint and Russian sage behind it.

@susanvonrauensteinbreuls6058 Год назад

love the plants thx for their names

@SleepyKittens Год назад

Helenium Sahin's Early Flowerer is one of my top five favorite requirement have in the garden. Lovely in front of Asclepias incarnata, which is 4ft wide x 4-5ft tall. It got some form of burrowing beetle, but I was able to save a thumb size silver, and in 3yrs it will be 4ft wide x 3-4ft tall again. It seems to enjoy the clay soil for its moisture holding aspect. It is not something you can necessary find year-round in the states. What a pollinator magnet too.

@helenyoung8012 Год назад

I cannot see anything garden worthy in a phormium. I feel they just provide shelter for snails. Also they look so alien up against herbaceous plants

@FranciscoCruz-fd3pw Год назад

Hello John. Have you tried the late flowering southeast US native Aster oblingifolius October Skies, or Raydon's Favorite? Hot full sun and dry soil is not a problem.

@andrewredmond799 Год назад

Do you sell the "Rosa rotilia" John

@arnorrian1 Год назад

Penstemon Blue Twizzle has flowers so electric blue in real life they look artificial.

Hi John, I just bought 2 Phormium ‘Pink Stripe’ today and I'm going to put into 2 containers at the front of my house wondering how much frost they'll take in pots? Thanks.

Why does my Rodgersia's leaves come on gangbusters for five weeks, and then start to turn brown? They get replaced over the season, but......what the heck?

@dogblessamerica Год назад

My Eupatoriums have come to nothing this year too (E. dubium "Baby Joe"). Conditions should have suited them, but unfortunately they also suited the slugs and cutworms, and the Eupatoriums lost the battle
