What a stunning garden! Your mix of bulbs and perennials, the wonderful variety of plants, the stonework and structures, the color combinations, so well done. Thank you for your hard work. I visited Denmark many years ago and fell in love with it. Happy gardening!
Thank you so much for the video. I am amazed you don't use mulch. When you explained your plants are close so you don't need it that makes so much sense. I am older and it is getting costly and hard to mulch every year. I am going to try your method of close planting. Thank you. Everything is looking great in your garden.
It really works well for us. Even in our first garden, we didn’t mulch. Planting tight keeps the weeds away. The only “drawback” is that we find we need to move things often - when plants grow large, etc. But that’s ok 🥰 and gives us more free plants.
I love your garden so much, all the variety of flowers/plants. You both have done an outstanding job in your garden, thank you for another wonderful video!
I wonder if your conversations together are mostly about plants. Sometimes I dream about my garden at night. Great garden and work you guys do together.
We do talk about plants MOST of the time 🤣 Right now we talk a lot about seedlings and how we need to sow less next winter (it's the same conversation we have every year at this time. haha)
Thank you so much! These tools were a gift from www.dewittoolsusa.com/dutch-hand-tools and we really do love them. Our first set of top-quality tools ❤️
All your work is evident with all the beauty. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see how you plant your Lupine in the ground or in pots. Please and thank you!!!
Sure thing! We planted some from bare roots: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0_Ue_cNOrTs.htmlsi=pcCfXJDvlf7F_IvL And here is Lars planting one last year (altho it's in Danish) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0un8OO-9dxk.htmlsi=2DbmQl1cESlNLL6j He's basically talking about spacing... because lupines have a wide spread, so keep that in mind. Hope that helps :) If not... let me know!
Your garden looks so pretty now, thanks for the tour. I love that gorgeous geum. Lots of lovely blooms has started in the garden, and i love this time of year. Thanks for sharing and happy growing 😊
So much beautiful colour! Love the groupings of assorted tulips everywhere. Many of the perennials I have too in my zone 3/4 Canadian prairie garden and am looking forward to blooming. Thanks for sharing.
Conundrum here. I have this NEED to share. But some people don't have that impetus. Pisses me off. You guys have it all over you. IMO that is consummate generosity. Shouldn't be so judgmental. But I am. Gonnae help me with starting tomato seeds. What music do you listen to? I love Killing Joke... love like Blood. But not sure some of the seedlings can handle that baseline. VLAD XXXXXX
I'd never heard of Killing Joke before so I looked it up. I'm sure your tomatoes can handle it... they'll grow REAL tough. haha We prefer 90s R&B over here... or jazz (crooners like Sinatra or Rosemary Clooney)... altho all our garden hears is the sound of seagulls these days. My goodness, they are everywhere making nests and starting families.
An incredible garden! Everything is in such harmony together. 🎶🌷🌺🎶 I have some Jack Frost Brunnera (first year to see the blooms). I really love them and plan to spread it around my garden as you did. Thank you for your inspiring videos and I agree with a previous commenter that your channel will explode!
Hopefully yours will spread like ours does... and you'll get to enjoy digging and dividing it and giving it away every spring, too. 🥰 We're in an area similar to Zone 8a (altho Denmark doesn't officially use USDA gardening zones, of course)... but maybe that helps to know ☺ And thanks 😊 We're just glad to be a part of a such a kind community on here! You never know with these things... but we're very thankful that everyone has been so kind for our first year.
So glad that I found you guys! Great garden inspo! Watching from Southern California. I have to say I’m so surprised to see the eucalyptus with all the beautiful plants below. That tree would be so big and bossy here. No way we could have one in a cottage garden.
Thanks for finding us, too! That little eucalyptus started from a tiny pot in a supermarket 😅 ...took it home on a whim and it started to die indoors. We planted it outside as a last-ditch effort (fulling expecting it to not survive).. but it has done SO VERY well here :)
Your gardens are looking beautiful! I added shade cloth to my small greenhouse this year and it’s been a game changer for controlling the high heat temperature. It’s completely changed the climate inside. So much more manageable!
Thank you for highlighting your anemones. Now, I'm convinced to plant the bicolor ones for next year. I bought my anthriscus silverstris from a nursery in a small pot, repotted in a larger vessel for my balcony and it has been growing and blooming to no end. It's a pure joy but does that mean it will die this year? If yes, and since all my pots are in a balcony and I am not able to depend on it self-seeding, how can I propagate it? Cuttings maybe?
We’ve never taken cuttings - and I’m not sure you can… as the stem is quite hollow and wouldn’t work so well. Collecting seeds is the best bet - it’s quite easy to do and you can winter sow them for the best results. Altho you’ll only get foliage the first year, flowers the second ❤️
Garden is awesome and so truly naturalistic. Plus, I learned exactly what length to cut back the tulips when they are spent(essentially, deadheading) until the stalk yellows. See, no one else give those kinds of specific tips to those of us who are new to gardening.
Thank you for letting us know that it was helpful! Our tulips come back every year (we don't have to dig them up), so this method works the best for us. 🥰
They take a while to bloom (compared to you guys) but when they do, they've been tall and pretty for a long time. Thanks for watching! Hope you guys are enjoying a great Mother's Day over there.
It was the Chameleon plant. We made a video about how we're trying to get rid of it... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5oaPybahSQw.htmlsi=u2fOOSbI8nE5eLvO We think we have a handle on it now...so let's see where it pops up again.
I love your garden. Everything looks healthy and beautiful! I also plant perennials in my garden. Thats how I save money and have such a beautiful garden every year.😊
Thank you for watching, Viv ❤️. It’s a ‘Vulcan’ - Cheiranthus cheiri ‘Vulcan’ - it’s also 6 years old (the one we showed in the video). We have another one in the front, near the pots, that’s not quite as old.
It's a great way for us to remember what we did last year anyway :) And hopefully it finds an audience with wonderful people like yourself! So very glad that you find it useful :)
Good question! haha. Actually... we bring in annuals to fill in spots once a perennial is finished. And if we need a pop of color in a pot or something. Otherwise, it's pretty much only perennials :)
That's great to hear! and really makes our day. We're actually doing some renovation this weekend... we're going to have a few more flower beds soon :)
I had an adventure with a silly wabbit and my beloved geranium Samobar yesterday. I looked out to see the silly wabbit dining on the leaves and the buds, so I grabbed the first thing at hand outside, battery-operated pruners, and went whirring into the garden like an avenging angel 🤦♀️🤣 I'm quite ashamed of myself today 😜 poor wabbit, I had never given it any reason to be scared of me before. Is the candlestick primrose in the shadier area of the garden? I love how you've paired it in the garden. I will spread my primroses around a bit more. Ty!
I feel that way every time we find neighbors cat loitering in the back of our flowerbeds. Argh. Altho a good handclap is all I do 😂. And I’m sure that rabbit will forgive you - just look at Peter Rabbit! They became friends and even made 2 movies 😂
Oh! And yes - Altho most of the garden is in shade today. Back to rainy weather. Sigh. The only “full sun” parts are the very front where the tulips in pots are - the rest of the garden gets sun in different times of the day (from noon onward in the summer) ☀️
I do not have the trouble with the brunnera reseeding. Not sure if it is your variety or the fact that i have very clay soil. It is amended but clay non the less. My brunnera is Jack Frost.
@@perennial-garden Sure it is the clay soil that effects the reseeding. I usually just divide it and move it about every few years. It doubles in size relatively quickly.
Fantastic tour! 🌸 Jeg syntes det er ved at være på tide at I laver en tour hvor Allen taler dansk 😃 Smilede over hele femøren da han sagde “skumblomst” 😂😂❤️ 😊 I er fantastiske 🤪🌸🌸👏🏼👏🏼
hahaha! I almost called it a skumfidusblomst --- I could only remember that it was foamy something ;) And we should do that... altho I think only Lars would understand me. haha
