Happy August to you to Darren and early Happy Birthday. Your garden is as beautiful as ever. I really like your Dahlias. I've considered growing some in pots but have not done so in years. I may try some next summer. Thanks for the garden tour, James

LOVE your garden tours. I've gone absolutely crazy about your channel. Incidentally, it is impossible to find "Scented Memories" carnations in the USA. A dreadful box store carried them earlier, but now the season is too late. Next to roses, carnation fragrances are my favorite. A discontinued fragrance from FLORIS called Malmaison is quite lovely with a hint of clove adds to the lush fragrance of carnation. Stay well and happy, you lovely fellow, and enjoy your birthday!

Love it! Absolutely gorgeous! And those Clematis Etoile Violette? I'm dead. 🤎

Do you hand water everything or have a drip irrigation? Beautiful garden, always love your videos!

..... Oh, and send our love to Ava!🧡🧡 When our 11 years old bulldog was young, he fussed about a long time looking for the most out of the way place to drop his load, but now, his bowel control is less than it once was and his load falls out before he arrives at his off the beaten trail dump zone. LOL!

The geranium Rozanne spreads a bit then, thats good for me becuase I need it to take up a bit of space in my garden! Like you, I have scented dianthus but one with the stamens (I think its called Dianthus F1 Dash) so hopefully some of the insects will like it.

6:44 Yes, so far I am able to hang my clothes out to dry hanging on the 10 feet tall dead sapling tree poles that I bind 3 together, teepee style then put long dead saplings horizontal on top for my scarlet wonder beans and Kentucky Wonder (an old heirloom green bean) beens to clamber on. The poles are about 70% covered, a few openings to hang clothes to dry in my vegetable garden. I prefer retro and rustic as much as possible. I took 7 quarts of yellow colored green beans out of the pressure canner just before I went online to admire your garden. It took ALL DAY LONG to can those 7 quarts of beans. They are low bush beans and the dirt and dead leaves stick to them as if they were velcro, a dozen washings until they be clean, pole beans are high enough that they remain clean, much quicker to can. 7:36 3 days ago, I sanded lupine seeds that I bought via Ebay, white, orange and red, I soaked them and drained them leaving them in glass jars overnight, in 24 hours they were sprouting! Never have I had in my 50+ years of gardening had seeds sprout in less than 24 hours. They are now in my 50 by 150 feet vegetable garden which gets a ton of manure every springtime and horticultural lime all plowed under, there, the lupines can grow their deep taproots better than in pots. Your readers may be interested to know that lupines grow the first year and bloom the following year. No proper English cottage garden is complete without lupines, lots of them in every color. Their scent is rather curious, it is definitely fresh ground black pepper, compounded with floral scent plus about 5% stale sweat odor. Perhaps I should have been a perfumer working in Grasse France? I seem to notice odors that others are oblivious to. 7:58 Wow! The Gabriel Oak is nearly fluorescent under the bright overcast skies (the very best light for photos/video. 8:26 Yes, I love asiatic lilies colors, but I don't grow them because they have no scent, I grow enormously tall Orientals for their strong, pervasive, exotic, clove/cinnamon/camphor scent. Like you, I want a cloud of fragrance hovering over my flower garden. It's like a bit of heaven come down to earth. 11:09 The Irish yews are looking good, they shall look good wintertime dusted with snow and red cardinal birds perched in them. 12:49 Yes, the fragrance of my Eustacia Vye is strong and intoxicatingly fragrant. Eustacia has kept her leaves all summer while my Francois Rabelliait dropped all of it's leaves from blackspot, he is now beginning to put out new growth. 15:33 Proper Job is nicely quartered also. This year the slugs were frequent diners munching on my dahlias, they grow strongly enough that I did not take my snips to the slugs as I do for my sweet peas, I go about at midnight with a flash light snipping slugs in two that are on sensetive plants that will succumb to their predations. 18:00 Here in Ohio, the heat is so oppressive that all fragrance evaporates away from the less than strongly scented roses and, like my Souvenir de la Malmaison rose, it had a gorgeous group of new blooms yesterday and today they are withering already from heat. It is said that Napoleaon found Souvenir de la Malmaison growing on the Isle de Bourbon, and he brought it home to his Empress Josephine who never saw a rose that she didn't like and she added it to her massive rose colection, SO, thanks be to Napoleon and Josephine that we have Souvenir de la Malmaison. A curious name Malmaison because it translates to "bad house". Were naughty things happening there for it to acquire such a name? I have no idea. A pleasant, romantic thought though, her Victorian era rose garden. Well thank you for the show and tell Darren, now, flee into your house with a cloud of pestilent insects in tow! LOL!
