Re: Karl66/ latest pic's taken this afternoon.
As i posted earlier....
So in effect, your one videolink / url is http://youtu.be/SEKFjXq7SK4 . Delete everything before the forward slash to leave the letters SEKFjXq7SK4 . Thats what needs to be left inserted between the "media" brackets when you make your post
Arlon Tishmarsh wrote:Easy enuff Karl. Go to your Utube vid and next to the vid thumbnail click edit . That'll take you to a new page and there to the right ( i think ) it says "Video url". Copy the url . Come back to HT and when making your post , click on the "media " button and insert /paste the video url between the media brackets. What you have to do tho, is delete everything before the forward slash in the url.
eg my main garden video url is ..... http://youtu.be/sfBE2fsayuQ
but you only need the numbers and letters after the slash...... sfBE2fsayuQ
Thats it. I've probably confused you even more now .............

Re: Karl66/ latest pic's taken this afternoon.
Good vids Karl, that's a lot of palms!, how many do you have?
Re: Karl66/ latest pic's taken this afternoon.
Del, many thanks!, my vid's will hopefully get better & my fences & grass needs cutting , Trachycarpus's & chammy's amount to about forty five in total ranging from about 9ft tall to ones with 10inch trunks!. I'd have to do a separate headcount on the yucca's & tree fern's though, even though I have a variety of plant's my one aim this year is to add more colours to the garden, the trouble is most of the stuff I want is deciduous which i'm not a lover of!, mind you I do fancy a couple of acer bloodgood. karl.
Re: Karl66/ latest pic's taken this afternoon.
only half way through the back garden vid Karl, and about to nip downstairs for me tea, but wow, great footage so far considering its your first attempt as a techniphobe! The planting scheme and layout i've seen so far in is fantastic too, all looks like its been there for years! not sure where you got your inspiration from but love all the statues, rocks, stones, levels, etc Top work sir
This is a vid i've been looking forward to seeing for a while as its so hard to visualise it all on the photos, felt strange to actually see it on the big screen, thought it would take you another 3 months to fihure out the upload

45 love it, in 10 years time thats going to be one impressive sight!
I like decidious plants as they add colour in the months you need them, and you dont have to worry about them in winter. My hosta, ferns are brunnera all come up at the same time so i can go from bare earth to loads of colour in a very short time. I wouldnt be without any of them.

0:19 on these bamboo, there is a massive culm among loads of small culms, did you buy like this, or did they just produce a monster culm last year? what species are they, wouldn't mind some uber culms!

3:50 that back raised bed is supurb, what are the circles around the trachies, are they sunk in pots?

Re: Karl66/ latest pic's taken this afternoon.
Steve, the bamboo's were quite mature in that section when I bought them but ive continued too thin them out resulting in fatter culm's, in that top bed are phyllosachy Aurea either side & phyllosachy aureasulcata golden bamboo in centre, the pot to the left is phyllosachy castillonis which is for sale!!, the big cerifica is a recent purchase from palm centre & is a beast. If you see circles around any of my palm's its a tip I picked up off someone on e.p.s who reckons it helps distribute feed & water better. karl.

How does it work, you snap new culms off giving more energy for the others? or you prune out existing grown culms to make space for monster culms?
The circle sounds interesting, is it a circle of stone covered in soil, or just raised soil?
Re: Karl66 Blog - latest pic's taken this afternoon.
Steve, nothing special re/raised circle around base, I just keep the mix a nice loam texture to stop it looking like wet mud!, the small culm's that appear in centre of grove just get aborted early at just below soil level which increases energy into fatter ones , I have one part of the garden where there even fatter!!, you only get this effect with aurea, hence nickname fishing pole bamboo. karl.
Re: Karl66 Blog - latest pic's taken this afternoon.
you've how many plants? , good grief I know you have been on a tropical plant spending spree for a while and it shows. What a fantastic collection of palms, looks great now but will be super impressive in a few years. I'm very jealous Karl, I'd love a garden your size, I'm glad you enjoy it so much and thank you for sharing them in your videos
