Love watching you rush about becoming breathless when sorting out that wonderful garden. It is truly a credit to you John. Please record the day you get in the pond! 😂🤣😂I just know the plants tremble when they see you coming towards them with the pickaxe or whatever you call it! 🍁

Always a treat to get a new video from John Lord's Secret Garden. The garden is looking great.
The new standing stone is an interesting new feature. I wonder how much of it is underground compared to the 5 1/2 ft that is above ground?

Always informative and entertaining, thank you John.

You are so right about rounded gravel as the best to use. I just put rock down and it looks so good.

Hello John, I was absolutely thrilled to meet you back in late august and visit your wonderful garden . I remember we talked about the invasive problem plants . Your garden sings, at every turn there’s a picture of colour and contrast .
It was certainly a highlight of my trip to Dublin . Fantastic ! All the best John and thank you ! You’re an inspiration .

Hello Cocker, Cornwall calling. Get the feckin waders on and sort out the pond scenario. Can't wait to see the fallout. Xxxx

[sharonparsons]

Another brilliant and useful video, thank you John 👍

[kristinregine]

I love all your different textures. You influenced my way of gardening quite a bit. Greetings from Germany.

[kristinastoltzfus]

Great video again. I will say get chipped gravel when you live in a hilly steep area though. Learned the hard way. 😅

[wendychandler]

Thank you John; I can't grow most of the plants that you show us, but now I have more tulips for pots. All my geraniums and tulips have new shelves in an outhouse, for the Winter. Let it rain, snow and freeze - this year (cross fingers!) they'll be safe.

Always love your videos John, keep them coming! The round gravel is easier to walk on barefoot too, lol! I have both kinds of gravel; the sharper was put down to keep weeds at bay in the back yard then the round to walk on for the grandkids in their bare feet. I also, in my small gardens have placed different sized rocks, some show-off some of the plants better. Love the large one you placed!

Loddon Gold!! I have that and wasn’t sure what it was. Thanks
Love your shoes John- what brand is that?
