-Welcome to Garddio A Mwy. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:02 | |
-It may be May, but the month -got off to an unusually cold start. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:07 | |
-We almost lost our early potatoes. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
-Hopefully, we'll have no more frost. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
-The soil is warm enough by now -for us to consider planting outside. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:18 | |
-Iwan will do just that later, -planting interesting vegetables. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
-Meinir rolls up her sleeves -and sets about creating a rockery. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
-And I'll show you -how to create a mini version of one. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
-All that and more on Garddio A Mwy. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
-Six months have now passed... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
-..since we moved into the house -here at Pont y Twr. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
-It's hard to believe... | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
-..that we spent -almost five years in that caravan. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
-I don't miss it at all... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
-..but one thing living in a caravan -did for us as a family... | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
-..was to give us a feeling -that we lived in the garden. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-One of the summer highlights -was eating outside in the garden. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-I was afraid to lose that feeling -when we moved into the house. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-That inspired the idea -of having a kitchen in the garden. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
-The designated spot -is the untidiest corner. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-It isn't suitable for planting... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
-..because the stream tends to flood -occasionally during the winter. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
-We have drawn up a rough plan. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
-A raised platform on metal stilts -to protect it from any water... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
-..a cooking bench and four poles -supporting a ship's sail... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
-..to protect us from the elements. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
-But however important it is -to sketch a plan... | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-..as it stands, -it is only a sketch. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-But I will start work on it later. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
-You can see how the project develops -over the coming weeks. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
-Talking of projects, Meinir has -an interesting one on her hands. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
-Fashions come and go, -in clothes and in gardening. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
-One showcase for new trends -is the Chelsea Flower Show. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
-In 2016, one of the biggest trends -was using stones. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:31 | |
-Yes, stones... | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
-..from carved modernist stones -to ones in their natural state... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
-..and more traditional designs. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-Yes, the rockery is back. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
-You needed a crane to lift -some of the stones at Chelsea... | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-..but anyone can create -a small rockery. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
-I'm going to show you how. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
-The garden I'm in today -has a nice lawn... | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-..but could do with a feature -to create interest. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
-A rockery it is. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
-All you need is this. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
-Bricks or rubble, large stones, -grit, topsoil and alpine plants. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:15 | |
-Well, and a free day -to enjoy in the garden. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
-Off we go then. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
-The first step -is to remove the grass. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-Keep the turf to one side -because we'll need it later. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
-Next, put the bricks -and rubble in place. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
-These give the rockery form -and also ensure good drainage. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
-Just throw them any which way. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
-Next, put the turf you removed -upside down on top of the rubble. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
-This will prevent any soil -falling through the cracks later. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
-Next, cover the turf and rubble -with six to nine inches of topsoil. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:16 | |
-And that's it. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
-The soil's in place. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
-It doesn't look like much -at the moment... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
-..but we can now think -about the stones. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-The first step, before moving them, -is to just look at them. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
-After deciding, put them in place. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
-Take care not to hurt your back -when lifting heavy stones... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
-..or you'll be unable to garden, -and that won't do! | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
-Pack soil under the stones -to ensure they're securely in place. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
-The structure of the rockery -should start to become clearer now. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
-The next step is to add compost. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
-The important thing to remember -with alpine plants... | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-..is to make sure -that the soil has good drainage. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
-I'll mix horticultural grit -with ordinary compost... | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
-..to make sure that no water -pools in the soil. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-They grow naturally in thin soil -on mountainous terrain... | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
-..so they prefer poor soil. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
-There's an array of alpine plants -available, as Sioned explains. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
-You can get hold of alpine plants -at most garden centres. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
-But if you want -to understand them properly... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-..it's worth visiting -a specialist nursery like this one. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
-Don't be tempted to buy only plants -that are in flower on the day. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
-Choose a selection -to provide colour all year round. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-Look for plants that provide variety -of leaf form and colour... | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
-..ones that provide height... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-..and ones that will spread over -the edge of pots or along a border. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
-I'd advise against -buying a dwarf conifer... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
-..unless you're positive -that is it actually a dwarf variety. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
-Here are a few plants to consider. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-These three are interesting. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
-You'd usually think of them -as bigger plants... | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
-..especially the Penstemon -and the Dianthus. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
-These are hybrids, of course. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-They're very happy -in a modern rockery. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-The Helianthemum, or rock rose... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-..is excellent at introducing colour -into a rockery or a small border. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
-They're happy in strong sunlight -and grow into a small shrub form. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-Another good plant -is the mossy Saxifrage. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
-There's a wide choice of these. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
-They form a tidy cushion, -and have pretty upstanding flowers. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
-If you want something -that looks exotic... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
-..consider the wide variety -of succulents available. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:09 | |
-They store water in their foliage -and can survive very dry weather. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
-Whatever your taste in plants... | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
-..a specialist alpine nursery... | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-..will be able to show off -the huge range available. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-Sioned had some lovely plants there. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
-I got all these alpine plants -from an ordinary nursery. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-They'll provide -a variety of colours. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
-This Viola is currently in bloom. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-The Aquilegia, -or columbine, is white. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-Many of these plants will spread, -so we need space between them. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
-That looks about right, I think. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
-It'll look pretty. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-Now to plant them! | 0:07:56 | 0:07:57 | |
-I've already laid a layer -of the grit and compost mixture. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
-When the plants are in place, -add another layer of grit. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:14 | |
-All that's left to do -is to water them. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-Do it nightly -until the plants settle... | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-..especially if we get a repeat -of the recent dry spell. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
-And that's it. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:29 | |
-A rockery in a day. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:31 | |
-If I can do it, you can. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-Although that was a small rockery... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-..maybe you don't have room for -something similar in your garden. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:46 | |
-You might not even have a garden. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
-But there is a way -to bring an alpine flavour... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-..to wherever you live. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:53 | |
-That's just what I'll do -with the plants I chose earlier. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-The first step is to put grit -in the bottom of the sink. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
-It'll help with the drainage, -which is vital for these plants. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
-They need plenty of water... | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-..but that water -must be able to drain away freely. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
-A deep sink is great -in that respect. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-Next, the compost. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
-I'm using John Innes No 2. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
-What I'm doing is making sure... | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-..that I have a mixture -of half compost, half grit. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
-I'm adding plenty of grit... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-..to help with the drainage. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
-I'm leaving enough depth, -because once the plants are in... | 0:09:47 | 0:09:53 | |
-..I'll add -another layer of grit on top. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
-I chose these plants -to provide interest all year round. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
-This is Hypericum. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
-I chose this because of the leaves. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
-They are covered in bumps. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
-In summer, -it'll have a vivid yellow flower. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-I'm planting it slightly proud... | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
-..because I'll be adding grit. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
-This is Saxifrage Alan Hayhurst. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-I love these delicate flowers. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-These will obviously wither -before too long. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
-But the delightful rosette -at the base is evergreen. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:41 | |
-That will provide visual interest -all year round. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-This is a kind of succulent. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
-It's called Conwy Gem. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-I'm planting it at the edge -so that this rosette droops over. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:56 | |
-This is Achillea. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
-This does grow fairly quickly, -and it also spreads. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:04 | |
-So, what I'm going to do... | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
-..is to put a piece of slate... | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
-..alongside it... | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
-..so that it stays in that spot. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
-This is Canary Bird. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
-As these flowers -reach the end of their life... | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-..it's an idea to cut them off... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-..to promote the growth -of more flowers. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
-I've chosen these plants because -they mostly grow very slowly. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:36 | |
-Given that they're competing -with each other... | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
-..one plant could take over. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-But these will all stay compact. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
-There we are. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
-I'll just finish it off -with a layer of grit. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
-For a full list of the plants -I chose for the alpine trough... | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
-..visit the Garddio A Mwy website. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
-They're pretty, aren't they? | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
-I hope they'll be happy -in the sunshine. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |

-At the moment, -garden centres are jam-packed... | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
-..with colourful plants -for pots and hanging baskets. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
-It's said that gardeners -spend more on plants like this... | 0:12:31 | 0:12:36 | |
-..than on anything else. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-After all, they are usually annuals. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
-But with so much choice... | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
-..how do you decide -which ones are right for you? | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
-If, like me, you garden -for nature and wildlife... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
-..as well as for colour, -it's worth remembering... | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
-..not to go for a flower -with a long trumpet. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
-Bees find it very difficult -to get at the nectar. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
-Sometimes, they've been bred so much -that there isn't any nectar at all. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
-Other plants to avoid -are flowers with a lot of petals. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
-Bees also find it hard to extract -pollen and nectar from those. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:21 | |
-It's worth choosing plants -that have open flowers... | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
-..to make it easy for the bees -to get at the good stuff. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
-Herbs are also excellent. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
-Lavender, sage and thyme are great. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
-You could also go for Dahlias -and Alyssum. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
-So, you can get lots of colour -in your pots and hanging baskets... | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-..and be kind to bees -at the same time. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-Since I started gardening here... | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
-..I've tended to grow -the same kind of things every year. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
-Potatoes, onions and carrots. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
-But this year, -I've decided to experiment... | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-..and grow some vegetables -you don't see in the supermarket. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-I'm going to plant -lots of different vegetables... | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
-..and see what works. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
-I'm starting with this, kohlrabi. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-It's a member of the turnip family. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
-You can cook it -lots of different ways... | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-..or eat it fresh from the garden, -either sliced or grated. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
-It's exceptionally good when grated, -so I'll be sure to try that. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:38 | |
-I'll also try to grow chicory. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
-This has been in the greenhouse, -but the slugs got to it, sadly. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-I'll plant another tray -to try and get a good crop. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-It's a very handy plant... | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
-..because you can eat the flower, -the leaves and the stem... | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
-..and apparently, -you can make coffee out of the root. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-I'll also be growing this. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-I'm sure many of you -will have heard of it. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
-It's navona, a type of cauliflower -that's unlike any usual variety. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:14 | |
-I've never grown that before, -but I'll give it a go. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-I've also bought -a lot of different seeds. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-Curly Scarlet kale, -which is new to me. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
-I'm also going to try -these purple sprouts. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
-Rubine. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:32 | |
-I'll also be trying -this radish variety, Red Meat... | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
-..which does resemble -a piece of ham. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-It's sure to look interesting -in a salad. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
-There's also -a wide range of lettuces. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
-This one, Reine de Glace, -dates back to the 19th century. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
-It'll be interesting -to see how that grows. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
-If you're growing for the kitchen, -or as an experiment... | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
-..or to compete -at your local show... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
-..there's a huge variety -of seeds available... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
-..and now's the time to plant them. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
-As I look ahead to summer, -I'm going to plant some radicchio. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |
-This one has a unique taste, and -it'll also add colour to any salad. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:19 | |
-This can go next to the lettuce. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
-From someone -who's experimenting in the garden... | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
-..to someone -who's an old hand at gardening. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-Wil Gibbon, one of the gardeners -at the historic Aberglasney Gardens. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
-I've been here since 1998. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
-I've seen a lot of alterations here. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-The gardens have come from nothing -to what you see here now. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
-I enjoy working here. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
-It's a nice little place. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
-Sometimes, you work in the rain, -so it's not as nice then! | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
-But on a day like this, -it's lovely to be out in the garden. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:12 | |
-It beats being in an office. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-Today, I'm tying branches -to the fence... | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
-..to train them to go up the wire. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-They'll form diamond shapes. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-It's an old style of fence -known as a Belgian fence. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
-A lozenge effect. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:35 | |
-They're apple trees. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
-Old Welsh varieties. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
-It's a bit of work to train them, -but it's worth it in the end. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
-They do have names. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
-This one is Reverend Wilks. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
-It's an old apple, very sweet. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-A lot of them have been named -after the people who developed them. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:05 | |
-They've been here since 2000. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
-They were grafted to save them, -because they're old varieties. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
-Can you see this point here? | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
-They've been grafted at one time. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
-This is the mother plant. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-This one, the Reverend Wilks... | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-..has been grafted -onto the rootstock. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-That job's done for now. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
-One of the things I enjoy most -about gardening at Pont y Twr... | 0:19:04 | 0:19:09 | |
-..is nurturing young plants. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
-Last year, I took softwood cuttings -of this Penstemon Garnet. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
-It was pouring with rain outside -when I was doing the job. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
-I cut the new lateral growth -that wouldn't flower that year... | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
-..and put them into a mixture -of compost and perlite. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
-They've spent about six months, -over winter, in the polytunnel. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
-They've turned out perfectly. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
-This will be their new home, -right here in the border. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-As you can see, -they're ready to be transplanted... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
-..judging by the roots -on the base of the pot. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
-I've soaked the plants in water -to make it easier to get them out. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
-In it goes, -and a bit of soil around it. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-It's very easy to take cuttings -from the Penstemon. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
-It's important to take cuttings... | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
-..because not every variety -will withstand our winters. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:22 | |
-I think I've been lucky -with the ones in this border... | 0:20:22 | 0:20:28 | |
-..but I have lost -one or two over there. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
-I'm glad to have more this year. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
-I'm sure to take cuttings again -in case the same happens next year. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
-In it goes. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:42 | |
-There we are. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:46 | |
-Those two will do there, -because they do grow to a fair size. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 | |
-But I have five healthy plants... | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
-..that would have cost -about 5 each in a garden centre... | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
-..so it really is -worth taking cuttings. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
-One popular plant, -and a favourite of mine... | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-..is the Scabious Butterfly Blue. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-It's a pretty little flower -that works so hard. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
-It flowers from April to November -with no fuss at all. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
-It thrives in full sun -or in a light shade. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
-To cap it all, -bees and butterflies love it. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
-Solar lights are very popular now. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-These pendant lights -are some of the latest ones. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
-They contain a filament that lights -when the solar panel is in sunlight. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:56 | |
-Solar lights provide -different effects in your garden. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
-They make it look a bit better -when you sit out during the summer. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
-Earlier, we mentioned our plan -to turn this untidy corner... | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
-..into a designated cooking area. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
-The first step -was to mark out a perfect circle... | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
-..and decide where the sail's -support poles would go. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
-After digging the holes, -I set them in concrete. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
-Next, I dug holes for the stilts -that would support the platform... | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
-..and filled them -with concrete as well. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
-Once the stilts were in place... | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
-..the last step for today -is to screw on the zinc panels. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
-That's one of the hardest jobs -I've done in the garden for a while. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
-I'm glad it's summer -and not winter... | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
-..because I might be standing -in a pool of water. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
-Why? Because of that stream. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
-Having a stream nearby sounds -romantic, but it has its problems. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:23 | |
-Haven't you finished yet? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:24 | |
-Haven't you finished yet? - -No, I haven't. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
-That's all for this week. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
-It would be lovely to have -your company again next week. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
-Until then, enjoy the gardening. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
