00:00Hi everybody, my name is Sean Schroeder, I live in Whitchurch in Bristol.

00:12Starts in February, in the house, where I start from seed, a lot of the bedding is done

00:19from seed, and then later on in April when the plants start coming out into the garden

00:24centres, I usually go every Sunday to a few garden centres, I'll buy a plant and then

00:30come back and then I'll take cuttings from it and start to grow them on, only in the

00:35house until end of March, because I haven't got a heated greenhouse.

00:40Takes about two and a half weeks to three weeks to plant everything up, with the back

00:45garden and the front garden, and I also do the community garden, that is usually with

00:50plants that I've got left over, I'll plant up the garden for the community.

00:55Well there's lots of different types of petunias, there's something like 200 varieties, so I

01:01do about 2000 plants, over 200 pots and containers, I do 500 to 600 cuttings and bring them on,

01:10so all together I would say there is just hundreds of varieties, too many to count.

01:17It's been bad this year, because we had a lot of rain, so that brought the garden back

01:21a couple of weeks, and now it's boiling hot sunshine, which they don't like, so the watering,

01:28you've got to keep up with the watering when it's like this, at least once, maybe twice

01:31a day, and bugs, the bugs this year, the whitefly are attacking all the plants, so you've got

01:38to try and keep on top of that, it's never easy being a British gardener.

01:42I've adopted it from Bristol City Council, they don't complain, nobody's ever stopped

01:46me from doing it, and the locals that walk down through the park just comment on it and

01:52say it's lovely, so I'll keep doing it.

01:55It brings a smile to their face, and there's nothing like a compliment, you know, and they

02:00say look, your garden's lovely, I show hundreds of people around the garden, because most

02:05people just see the front garden and the park garden, so if they're having a good look,

02:10I'll bring them round and I'll show them the back, and they're always impressed.
