Part 6 of 7 - Tina’s Garden Design & Makeover 🌸🌸🌸

It's day 11 of gardening. My house slippers on. Oh, you're not ready for gardening. It's day 11 of gardening, but we wanted to show you um where we got to, which we didn't film. We've planted the plants that Tina had plus a couple of new beauties. One of which is this. This is the plant we were talking about that we just were stopped in our tracks because it was so beautiful. So, it is called a stiff weeper, a lary. It's a beautiful conifer. Just look at that. And it's just beautiful. And it's weeping as you can see. Let's have a look at the stats. So, you can use it for a container, a garden or patio plant. It's a conifer and it's grafted, it says, onto a specially selected roottock. Fully hardy, will grow in any type of soil. Thrive in sun or shade. Bright green branches, a very attractive addition to any garden. And you can prune to maintain the shape. No diseases. Isn't that gorgeous? And we felt that it mirrored the weeping habits of the beautiful flowering cherry which is over here. So this has been planted for two weeks, hasn't it, Tina? Yeah, two weeks. About two weeks or three weeks even. And it's looking nice. We do need to steal garden. We need to steal two plants, don't we, Tina? Which, sorry, I'm digressing. I'll go back. These vinka miners, that one and that one have grown huge. But what I didn't realize, I watched Laura at Garden Answer and she was going through ground cover plants and she explained that the Vinka miners are wonderful ground covers, but they can grow, they'll only grow half a meter tall, but they can grow 1 m, even 1 and 1/2 m spread. So, that is not going to work out well for this rockery. So, we're going to take those out, that one and that one. And we felt that it would go perfectly in cocktail corner cuz we need plants to fill cocktail corner. We just need cocktails as well. We need cocktails. We were waiting for the cocktails definitely. So maybe one around here somewhere. And also one over there. And also we need a bit more color. Yeah, definitely. Don't we? Cuz at the moment we've got mostly green. We have blue. That's the conifer, the blue spruce, the super blue seedling that we've replanted. So that's we've put that there. We have the roodendrum, which was already here, which is just beginning to flower. So that's going to look stunning. It's just starting to open its buds. Uh Tina has two roses which were in containers. So, we decided they probably been in the containers for a while cuz they were very difficult to get out. So, we decided to steal those to fill up this border. That's another one. So, this one, we've got the tag and it's called a sun silk. And as you can see, it's yellow. Do you know what color this one is, Tina? Um, I think it's orange. I'm Oh, that would be lovely. That would be lovely. Then, of course, we had the olive tree which was in the pot. That was a beast to get out. That's doing really well. It's doing very well. It's going upwards now instead of sidewards. Lovely. And you can see we made a little a little mini rock garden here. Janette did that. Yeah. And I think it turned out really nicely. So I thought when Tina's sitting in her chair, which will kind of be this position, is something to look at. So I think that's very pretty. And the caraxes, which you may notice, these grasses here, they're all from my garden. So, I have so many. They they just multiply. They grow pups and everything. So, I've given loads to mom. And now Tina has some, too. Some more there. And she has already or we planted these. Another little compan that will be blue carpet spreader. These were left over from the plants that we bought for the other side. And then we have this gentiana blue herald. That's another blue. And then here we have a nepa. You can see the picture there. Nepa. So they're going to be like blues and mos. And one more thing here which we have. This is a saxopra. That should be lovely. So that's what we have. We have three more rocks over there which we can incorporate. into. We're not quite sure yet where they'll go, but they could either extend this bit or we'll figure that out as we go. We are loving this. And the other thing we have is a beautiful European fan palm, which I have planted one in my garden. It's called a chimerops. A chimerops. So that's beautiful fan palm. And you can see it's got new bronze there. So that's stunning. But the other thing I completely forgot to mention last week is that Keith has extended the brick wall. And we did forgot to mention it. So here's a picture of what it looked like before because if you remember, this was the area where we removed the infamous E. And uh now he's built the wall up. And then last week, as you know, we added the mirror. So that's where we are at the moment. We're now going plant shopping. And if you have a look, Tina, we do need some more color, don't we? Cuz we've got a lot of green. That is blue. That blue spruce. We need color. And she also forgot to mention in previous videos, although you've most probably seen it. Yeah. That all the inside of the fence was reined. I did because you never noticed it before behind the conifer. Do you know someone put in the comments of one of the last couple of videos, you forgot to say about the fence? So, they noticed it wasn't a new fence. It's just been lined on the inside just to tidy it up. So, that is a very good idea for people as well if they wanted to spruce up their fences. That's what Keith did. So, the old fence is behind it, isn't it, Keith? Yeah. But we had a horrible side showing afterwards. So we just painted it on the inside. Do you know shall I tell you another comment which you you're not going to like and uh it was somebody said paint the fences the same color as the cabin. And I thought I don't think I don't think Keith and Tina will want to paint their fences. So I said thank you so much for your comment. I will definitely pass it on. Yeah. No, we love it. We love it as it is because we love the rustic woodlandy look. Natural look which saves me a whole lot of work. Exactly. You've had enough work. Thank you for your comment. Thank you for your comment. Yes. Yes. Being the wrong side of 70 now, these jobs don't come easy anymore. You've done a load anyway. So, we need a little bit more brightness. Yes. Um, obviously it will be sunshiny later in the day. Yeah. Um, but I think that we need something red perhaps, just a little accent. I'm talking about foliage, you know, and maybe something bright yellow. Yes, just something like that. So, Tina and I are off to shopping. Shopping. Oh, yes. That could be our answer. I I really cannot remember what that is. It doesn't matter. We will We will find out. That would be a nice surprise. Should we Should we move that then? Yeah, we can. Yeah, let's do that. That's the red. Yeah, great idea. Right, let's go shopping. We'll see you when we get back. Lots are back and we have some beauties. And we have Lotty with us as well. She's going to help us. She's going to help us. I know. Look, I'll put water out for you. Come have a look. Come on. We're back and we've got some beautiful plants and we tried to get different color frames, didn't we? So, we have this beautiful fighter carpus. It's a nine bark and it's called the lady in red. It's a compact bushy shrub. It has brilliant wine three low foliage throughout spring and summer and it has small pink tinged white flowers which will appear in the early summer. It's suitable for full sun or partial shade. You prune it back as required in autumn or early spring. Height 120 cm and spread 120 cm but obviously you can control it. So that's that beauty. This is called a Senio angel's wings. You can see the different contrasting foliage which is what we were trying to achieve. That's very beautiful. And we have two lovely loopings which Tina particularly liked for the beautiful colors. Yeah. A mixture of purple and yellow. Yellow. So that's going to look very very vibrant and stunning. Oh, this is very pretty. A magic carpet spyer. Very beautiful. And see that lovely foliage. This one will grow 45 cm wide by 70 cm tall. Likes the full sun. Very, very hardy. Very, very pretty. See the contrasting colors. Oh, we've got some couple of lovely seed beans as well, which this one is called a lime zinger. Lime zinger. And uh these like full sun. You have to be careful not to overwater seedlings. They they like it very dry. They like full sun. It's very hardy. That's going to be beautiful. And then we have a couple of sedum autumn joys. I said to Tina, I hope you can find these cuz I have these in my garden and they're amazing. And these color will be in the late summer, early autumn. They'll look wonderful. Then we have a beautiful Renaiss, which has got lots of nice buds on. So that's going to be a bit of color. Lovely Rene. It's hard to say. This one, a gazia. Another one with loads of buds on. Very, very pretty. And this one likes full sun or part sun. And then it will flower from March to October. So amazing bang for your buck. We have another beautiful seeding. This one's called a touchdown pink. And we particularly like the color of the foliage there. Very nice. And then we have a replacement, a replacement for the heei that he killed, which uh this is just for Keith. And this one's called a dazzler cuz he's a dazzler, isn't he? This is for you, Keith. It's a heavies called a dazzler. So, that's going to be beautiful. And that's it. So, we're going to place them and probably move things around. Get the dinkers from over there and see if we've got anything else in pots. Oh, the red the red plentified plant, which we're not entirely sure what it is, but that's going to go in here. I will look around. There's anything else in pots that we can grab and add to our wonderful collection. And thank you so much for my gift. This is from Janette's mom. Love it. Bulbs. I love it. A thank you. Thank you, [Music] [Music] Mom. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. So, we think we're happy with the placements, bearing in mind that there will be space, but that's what we want because we want Tina to be able to go out throughout the year and just add something that she likes at that time of year. But, yeah, we're happy. And she's also going to have we've got two trelluses over there. We've got one that side and one that side that we wanted to get a climber of some description just to fill in that corner which we didn't get today. We did forget. Well, we started looking at them, didn't we? We easily got distracted. We had three more stones. We're ready for planting, I think. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Oh, little update. We've just had lunch and uh gosh, it was so hot. Tina's found us both hats, which is really going to help. So, we have just a few seed ends left to plant now. And so, we're going to finish planting up at It's looking good. You're happy? Yes, it looks lovely. Yeah. Have a little garden. Yeah, it's looking good. Looking good. So, very few left. There's one, two, three. Oh, and we're going to go through the rockery stones over there. And yeah. Okay, let's get digging. Tina's just found something. We We haven't planted. Oh, we'll stick that in quickly. But we'll have finished planting for the time being anyway this side because as we mentioned before, there will always be gaps. Gaps so that Tina can go out. Plant shopping. Yay. Monthly plant shopping trips we're going to have. So, at the end of last week's video, we'd finished this side, which was actually two weeks ago in our time. I must just show you because we took the Vinka miners away, didn't we? So, what we've done, we've got some porin area from a pot. It's very wilted at the moment because we just stuck it up. So, that will just look very pretty. So that's this side. And now at the end of this video, we have finished planting this side. And it's so pretty. Unfortunately, we haven't had the chair being delivered yet. So, we're waiting on that. But no matter. I think it looks beautiful. Let's just take a quick It's not very good lighting. You've got the angel wings, senio. We've got the spya magic carpet, some little seeds, the vinka. We transplanted the little rockery area from last week. This is We had no idea, but it's beautiful. And when the sun shines on that, it's a bright red. That's the little rockery we've just added. or mushroom, but that's where the fork is. And then over this way, we have the beautiful nine bark. We have the sedum autumn joy, the lovely gazania. Gazania looping there, and another one there. And Very pretty. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Okay, that's it from us, Janette and Tina, the enthusiastic gardeners. We We are working so hard here. We are very very nearly done. Next week is the pond. Yeah. and the final finishing touches and putting all the final icing on the cake. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then we'll be done. And then we can have a rest and then we can have our cocktail in cocktail.
