Absolutely the best advice in digestible bites for plant buying I've ever heard! Brilliant. I'd also add to be sure to read the plant tag carefully (here in the US). Thank you 💚

I could tell by the wind blowing your hair, it was a very windy day, BUT I didn't hear any wind from your mics.! Brilliant! I watch a horse channel and every time it's windy outside, we're unable to hear or understand what is being said, so they do voiceovers. I suspect the fuzzy bit on your mics answered the wind problem. I love learning more and more from your channel and guests. I love foxglove but fail to grow it. Thank you!!

Thank you, yes, it's the fuzzy bit on the mics and I also try some sound editing, which can be a bit complicated as I'm not particularly technology minded!

Sadly many garden centres don't have staff around to chat to and ask questions or even help with heavy bags of mulch, compost. I searched for help and found no-one on different days too. Nice garden centres , nice plants, invisable staff.

Good morning Alexander, so nice to see you again, a pity about the wind almost a good day to fly a kite!! So enjoyed Rosy's practical approach to the placing of plants. If you do plant that lovely tangerine and mauve together, it always makes a beautiful show. Today I would like to plant some bulbs for a lovely spring show, I hope they will do well, sometimes your plants can be disappointing with no fault from yourself. Our winter is now in full swing, fortunately we have clear skies and sunny days. As always thank you for a lovely garden talk, and yes, you are very encouraging regardless of the seasons we are in. Do take care, keep snug and carry on gardening. Many blessings, kind regards.

It's so exciting to arrive at the plant store, with all the beautiful colors and everything looking perfect! I just want to load up my cart! Sometimes I put things in, and after thinking about it (mostly the cost!!), I put them back, lol. Rosie has great knowledge, and as always your questions stimulate excellent responses. I also look for multiple plants in the same pot; you might get three tomato plants instead of one. Due to the hotter micro-climate, clay soil, and rocks at my *new* home, I've continued using containers as I did at my old house (the back garden was very small and mostly taken up by a wooden deck). We also have gophers that keep coming back. I have full size olive trees , roses, lavender, bulbs, etc. in containers. If the larger plant is well established and will tolerate it (and they have similar watering requirements), I'll add something like alyssum, lobelia, poppies, etc. to grow in the same pot.

Rosie says buy what you like. My problem is that I absolutely adore all plants, ha ha. My garden is planted much too closely bot an inch of space. I really should allow more space between my plants- forever having to chop bits off to allow the weaker neighbouring plant more space. Alstromeria has taken over an area , such a bully, but i find ity hard to cut back as it looks so pretty, so i usually allow it to flower first and then yank it out, which is a bit late for the health of its' neighbours. Thank you for a great Vlog :-)

Wish I had seen this at the beginning of spring. I bought x2 grasses in Feb/ March at £15 each, from a well known garden centre.. Both looked after, but both looking dead. Still only dry stumpy stems, no sign of regrowth. If I'd seen this before, I'd have invested my money in something more healthy 😏

Ask the people at the nursery and then TAKE THEIR ADVICE. I used to volunteer at nurseries helping people select roses. They all said they wanted something easy to take care of and I pointed them to shrub roses. They all left with tender, finicky hybrid teas. 🙄
