🎉 Summer Garden Tour with The Unenthusiastic Gardener 🎉

Hello everyone. It's Janette here, enthusiastic gardener. And I am delighted this week because we have a tour from the wonderful Richard, which you've all said last week, you can't wait to see. I can't wait to see what he says as well. I have no idea. It's totally adlibd. And let's go over to Richard. >> Good morning or is it good evening? Depends where you you are. Uh, today I'm doing a garden tour. I don't know what I'm going to talk about, but let's start at the beginning. Now, this is I think she called it shady corner. Shady corner. It's not actually a corner, but anyway, it's the the yellow chair corner. And as you can see, it's very shady. But her fern uh let me see see if I can remember the name. It's the something forest fern. Cloud. Ah. No. No. It's a Tasmanian. Tasmanian tree fern. Yes. Something like that. Cloud fern. And I I must say when I first saw it, I wasn't that impressed with a bunch of sticks, but it has blossomed. It has grown. And uh yeah, that's the main feature of that corner. That's the main feature. There it is. And there's all ferns along here. And there's all box plants. So the box I don't know about box plants. I know Janette said she wasn't going to plant any more box plants because of the box moth I think it was called. So and that's it. And the yellow chair which I never ever sit in. So we will continue. Oh, wa. Anyway, we we will continue clockwise. Now, there's some new plants here. Don't ask me what they are, but that looks a new one. The yellow, the yellow, green, and pinky. Um, yeah. I mean, Janette has been moving plants from one place to another, which she normally does. So, um, we will continue. It's getting windy and cold. This is This is a tree. I think it's a pear tree. No. Um, it's a tree. No. Come on. Let's carry on. Right now, this is looking nice and mature. This one prickly prickly leaves that has shut up in the past couple of weeks. I never knew it it was that big. But that's nice. Yes. might need a little trim back now to one of the obisks which has probably been moved from somewhere else. So don't I don't recognize it being there. Continue around. Ah carpass for Chunai. This is my favorite plant and uh it it has done very well in the garden. Yeah, it's really taken to it. And as for the I don't know what that is over there, but it looks like something out of the Adams family. Continue around. Let's begin. A nice red plant. That's not a Japanese one. The Japanese red something is over there. So, um Oh, hookas. Oh yes, I I do remember who. Yes. So, let's continue. It's going to be a quick one. As we continue another oblisks went through a phase of a mine oblisks. She still has to straighten that one up. I've mentioned it more than once. Um, and that's a little water feature as you know. Another chair. Now, see the thing with chairs. Janet says, "Oh, oh, I really want a chair there. I really want a chair. It's so I can sit there in peace." Well, as you can see, that one hasn't been sat on for quite a while, but she needed it. I I made it, painted it, but she needed that chair at the time. So I thought, bless her. Bless her. Oh, obviously I walked past the garden set which is going to get revamped this year. Now that chair there, this is one of my favorite chairs. Ah, I can sit here, see the garden, and just relax. So, this is one of my favorite chairs. I've got two I've got two places I sit. That is one of them. The other one will be coming up now. More plants. Yes. Oh, the cherry. the cherry tree which has got cherries somewhere. Oh yes, there they are. Yeah, we we put the netting on which the birds were nicking them. So, um, this pair of more plants that was an an alien. An alien an alien. I call them aliens. So, um, let's So, let's continue around. ah the main water feature which I must say I do like after a bit of persuasion. So um yes, it's feeding well and the plant along the front enhances it. So I I'm well pleased with it. down. And this is my favorite chair. I sit here every morning with a cup of tea and a cigar. Don't tell Janette. And um it's so peaceful. I'm normally I'm up about 5:00 every morning. It's just something I I've always used to get up early and it's still it's still in my system. But on my phone, I've got an app. It's called Merlin Bird ID and I start the recording and it picks up all the birds noises and it identifies which bird is which. And uh it's it's quite addictive because I mean on some mornings I've had up to 18 different bird songs going on around here. So um yes it that is very enjoyable and relaxing. So we will continue. Oh, this is the other water feature hole in the ground which doesn't do much. This is there. So, round a obviously this is these are the entrances to the underground system now. But all them animals hibernating. Oh my god, they're in and out all day long. Oh. Anyway, we continue round. continue the snail which has just been moved apparently. So that wasn't there earlier on. Now as you can see there's this gap. Oh my god. What has happened? Has the plant died? Has it been stolen? No. Janette has moved it. And I think that that was the Japanese red something which is over there now. It wasn't happy there. Wasn't happy there. So, it moved to there. And I mean, it's a big move. I mean, there's quite a few removal lries, but uh and yes, and then we continue around the clock, which is stuck at 20 5. Um, and then we're back here. And also, while I think of it, we've got a new piece of equipment for our gym. The bouncer. The bouncer. Janette had to have one. Now, she said it was very important for her workout routine. And so what you do is, believe it or not, you get on. And you bounce. Yes, you do. You bounce. I feel like a new man. God, I got to stop now. So obviously you've seen the rest of the the gym equipment and um that keeps keeps us fit. So enough in here. Now apparently this is called cocktail corner. I've yet to have a cocktail here. I think that's what she called it. Anyway, unless you can see this little corner, this is where but basically not a lot happens. Oh, the red rolls it feature and the mirror. See the mirror? That's when Janette's working and she's got to go to the garage. He stops at the mirror and then carries on a greenhouse which is a greenhouse. So anyway, I think you've had enough of me today. So it's just the end of my garden tour. There is there is some other names I remember but I don't know what plants they are. So it's very very relaxing out here and uh don't tell her I love it out here but I mean what she's what she's done to the garden has transformed it. So um I don't want to say too much. So this is it. And I mean my job is to maintain the grass as you can see up. I look after it very well to feed it, trim it with scissors. So anyway, I hope you enjoyed this quick this quick tour and um thanks for all your remarks and your just staying in touch. Thank you. I wish you well. [Applause] Thank you so much to Richard. I promised that I would not say anything. I wouldn't butt in because I have a tendency to butt in. So, that was Richard giving a tour and I hope you enjoyed it and I certainly did. Thank you so much for watching. Have a great week everyone. I'll see you next week. Bye. [Applause]
