Part 4 - Tina’s Garden Design & Makeover 🌼🍄🌸

hi everyone it's Janette here again and Tina enthusiastic gardeners and we are back in Tina's Garden we are rather late starting today because we've been shopping haven't we we have we bought Stepping Stones we've got Stepping Stones ready to go in and we've got lovely lovely plants we have bought some amazing stakman pieace plants I we we have we are so excited to show you because they are gorgeous yeah we we took a long time choosing them today we did so we're back in the garden and um I believe it's nearly 1:00 and we've given ourselves till 5 to get as much done as we possibly can yes but we think that today is going to be the last of the hard labor yeah Keith actually invested a rator for us yes cuz you felt sorry that we were digging so much I know and here's dug up all this side here of the garden where the turf was so he's left us to have a go at that side over there so that's what we're going to do we have to move the Jasmine I don't know if you can see it behind us there it's in a huge pot and we have to try and get that out and into the ground alone and two women alone that's going to be fun we'll give it to go so the first part of this video is going to be um us doing hard labor and then second part of the video will be the fun part yay I'm so excited so my let's do it yeah what the lesson this is what C showed me yesterday you got push but in but you got to hold on to this cuz [Music] [Music] stringle myself in a minute yeah that was fun that is certainly really really good tool actually so it did it in no time and we just need to rake it level so this whole area has now been rotated as you saw and we just went through and redefined the edgy [Music] gain so those little bits of grass they will die off rather quickly because that's what they did on this [Music] side wonderful now the Jasmine that we need to take out the pot is this one which is a big beast a big beast and it's in I don't know if we can do this but ke has cut down he's gone to golf but he has cut down that for us and he thinks that we can get that out and into the ground down there so that's our next task we'll give it a go this is far harder than you would think well actually I didn't think it would be easy but we've tipped the whole Jasmine forward now Tina's going to get a hammer to see if we can break the back of the pot it's like fiberglass and uh we haven't even dug the whole yet we've dug the hole that much we need to dig the hole that much but I'm thinking we might be able to cut the roots a bit we have been determined not to give up so what we've done is oh my goodness we're out of breath we're going to go and have a sit down for a moment we've dug the hole the hole is probably not big enough but what we've done is ruffled up oops ruffled up all the roots this was so pot bound so we might end up having to just Mound some soil around it but yeah goodness me as a beast so we're just going to have her sit down for a moment and then we will stand it upright and hopefully get it in the hole or somewhere near okay here goes here goes what don't don't to gra hold on I've got my foot in the hole which is not going to help right okay's hey there I'll front you ready what we doing ready for what you need to shov it on your way I don't know how oh my goodness I said to Tina Tina if this was mine I would have bended it and just bought a new one it's very highly planted so we're going to water it in and then we said if it dies it dies unfortunately you never know plants are resilient so just put some slates around the edges because it was a little bit high and so now you looks like that's what we' intended all along which we did of course of course we did of course we did yeah so we just need to level this soil a little bit more and cuz we've trodden all over it this is day nine of gardening because the last you saw my camera died we put it on charge but we wanted to keep going and so we have laid the stepping stones and we have planted some beautiful statement pieces so this is where we are at the moment so we hadn't intended on having two those as you remember there was just one but because we took out this bird bar he created another opportunity so we have two and that's created a beautiful central island oh let's go this way Tina's filming Tina's filming so first of all Tina particularly wanted a beautiful ented Rose and this is the one we chose it was Rose of the year in 2010 and it supposedly smells of licorice so that's going to be beautiful and it's called absolutely fabulous that she have beautiful yellow roses and then this one we bought is a kisum and it's also known as the bottle brush tree so this one is gorgeous and and as you can see we've G for the lollipop shapes it's going to have those big beautiful red bottle brush flowers very soon you can see it's all budding up so that's going to look wonderful then along here we have a Fatina Red Robin but this one is a standard so it's a compact variety absolutely beautiful you can see this time of year you get the gorgeous red tips and then you just keep trimming it and it's only going to get more and more lovely what else can I say and then we have here we've got a pair of lemon cypresses which we put here so we thought that was very nice then over here we have a Bay Tree now I have a Bay Tree this one is beautiful it's just the most perfect shape so it's a loris novelis B tree and you can come out and pick these and use them for cooking and then finally we have this beautiful blue spruce it's a Pisa P super blue and that is just going to be beautiful and it has sun on it so if you put them in the sun they'll get even more beautiful blue color isn't this beautiful it's a flowering cherry and it's called snow showers and we're going to put it in the middle here we've already dug the hole so it's going to go in here and what we liked about it it's going to have these flowers this time of year and apparently for about eight weeks Then followed by berries which the birds as you know there's so many birds here they will love that and then it has beautiful AUM foliage as well so we just need to turn it around to get the shape that we want these are compan we have three different varieties and they're M forming so they're going to be low and cover the ground they have two different mes again these are mostly going to be low Ground Covers carpeting the floor it's turned out to be a very Woodland the area so we think that will look lovely we have a few more lamium as well which was spread along similar to ones in the Rock Garden this C's eye is a saxifraga so that's going to have wispy white little flowers then we've got a gentia it's going to be beautiful blue onora beautiful and they are perennial so three of these which are orisha and these will spread a lot the lady told us in the garden center that these don't plant them too close together because they're going to get beautiful big carpet of color which is going to look wonderful this which is going to R them and I had one of these in my garden and it when it flowers and obviously this is a small one but when it flowers it goes on and on for months literally months so it may not be most spacular this year but certainly from next year on that will be wonderful then we have three more breras because we love breras so much and some different ones we've got the Jack Frost and we have the Alexandria just a repeat of the ones we put in the Rock Garden have three of these which are V miners the protic V miners over on the Rock Garden beautiful cuas to give gorgeous color I'll show you what it looks like at the end okay I just thought I'd grab janette's camera while she's not watching just to show you that she don't just film she sometimes gets on our hands and knees and gets our hands into the dirt sorry girls I had to do it yeah he's going for very well we planted at the middle haven't we yet yeah we've got those few there and a couple here and uh yeah picked a nice sunny day for it as Welling but let's go back to the very beginning this is what it looked like on the first day this corner of the garden before we' done anything and then you can see that the conifers had come down here we are creating the shape of the lawn then we'd made a rock garden our very first time of doing that and planted it up and we thought that it looked absolutely beautiful we're very pleased and here's where we are right now [Music] [Music] well I'm back home in my own garden now we have had such a full-on couple of days of planting it's been very my body is exhausted I'm sure Tina is as well we've had so much fun so that that side of the garden is now finished apart from the fact that you know every every month Tina can pop to the Garden Center she can see what's in blue at that stage that's what I suggested to her go to the Garden Center every month always find something you like in bloom plant it and then you'll always have beautiful color throughout the whole year or a lot of the Year anyway so she'll go get some and add those and it would be fun and exciting so that's that side of garden planted as I say next week we will tackle the other side we are very nearly there so please do come back next week and see us planting the other side of the garden and then we've just got the pond area and uh we'll be done so thanks for watching I'm Janette I'm the enthusiastic Garden I hope you're having fun in your Gardens and I will see you next week bye
