I think all of nature needs a rest some seasons. Theyre not unhappy, just taking care of themselves, like self preservation. Compost and mulch will aide in any trees needing some love.😊
We appreciate your wise words and perspective: in self-preservation the apple tree has shrugged off its leaves to lighten the load and focus on its inner vitality. Don’t we all need to do this sometimes!
I think perhaps we all get a little wilder as we age, Skylarks garden being no exception! Thank you for your lovely comment Pat, sending our best wishes.
That’s so interesting! Hellebores are deep rooted whereas aquilegia have a shallow root system, so maybe that makes them particularly harmonious together, or perhaps they confer benefits to one another that we don’t yet understand.
Greetings from the U S! Lovely! The Nerine Bowdenii is gorgeous. I'll have to investigate if it will grow here in Zone 6a! Your videos are beautfully presented and I appreciate all the very helpful info!
Hello and thank you for your lovely comment, Meg! The Royal Horticultural Society class Nerine bowdenii as hardy down to between -15 and -10 degrees Celsius, or between 5 and 14 Fahrenheit. So my understanding is that Zone 6a temperatures would exceed the hardiness limits. We wonder if growing nerines in containers to enjoy in autumn and then moving them to a more protected space for the winter season could work? Sending best wishes to the U.S. from Kent, U.K.
Thansk for this intel@@ApplePeaFernSea! I will keep your suggestion in mind for down the road. My focus now is creating perennial beds for a new home I moved to 2 years ago. I went from 1/10th of an acre in Boston to 1.4 acres that are entriely unlandscaped in CT so I have my work cut out for me! A dream come true for me really and I am soaking up all the great garden ideas and advice from the UK! Its always illuminating to learn from seasoned gardners! Keep up the good work!
@@MegPier Wow, what exciting challenges, plans and plant purchases to create your dream garden: from your video we can appreciate how much work you are dedicating to a wonderful project.
@ApplePeaFernSea how funny, I didnt realize my "property transformation" video was public! It is indeed a Labor of Love and I like dcoumenting my progress! Helps me realize I am making progess when I feel overwhelmed! I'm actully working on a second video about what Ive done in the past year. I look forward to more from your channel! Thanks so much!
